Bold plan to expand ‘Local Paper’ in 2019 ■ An innovative program to expand readership of The Local Paper, particularly throughout more remote communities in the Murrindindi region, has been submitted to the Regional and Small Publishers Innovation Fund.

The Fund, which provides $16 million nationally for each of three years, is administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority, on behalf of the Federal Government.

Under the application, more copies of The Local Paper would be printed each issue in 2019, and distributed free - where possible - to more families in the 41 communities in the Murrindindi community.

Additionally, The Local Paper’s free website would be upgraded with increased content, with more local video material introduced.

Free tuition in accessing the newspaper online would be provided to

Murrindindi region residents, especially seniors, under the plan.

The proposals include the development of a Murrindindi Citizen section inside each weekly edition, with content generated by community members and organisations.

This would enable community groups to further publicise their events more widely, without charge.

For the first time ever, The Local Paper has sought government funding. The Local Paper is a free community newspaper, which is funded by advertising only.

“We do not have a cover price. we do not operate paywalls at our websites. We do not receive any Federal or State Government funds, and we only receive a small fraction of Murrindindi Council’s paid advertising,” said Local Paper Editor Ash Long.

Murrindindi Shire last put its advertising contract out to competitive

tender almost six years ago, in October 2012.

“We will continue our expansion plan whether we receive the grant or not. However, if we are successful, it will accelerate The Local Paper’s growth,” Mr Long said.

Many major advertisers have already confirmed that they will advertise in The Local Paper in 2019.

These include Bailey’s Funeral Services, Billanook College, Brazzen Yarra Valley, Camberwell Sewing Centre, Centre State Drilling, Clarinda Charolais, Country Club Hotel Yea, Dindi Sawmill, Eddy’s Towing and Transport, Emu Wire Industries, GLA Real Estate, Hall’s Funeral Services, Ivanhoe Cycles, Japan Snow Holidays, Just Depreciation, Just Japanese Maples, Landmark Harcourts Alexandra, Landmark Harcourts Yea, McCormack Funerals, Mooroolbark Church of Christ, Nalinga Steel, North Central Hire, North East Air,

Northern Sky Limousines, Seymour District Vets, Slocum Floorcoverings, Star Tree Services, Stockdale & Leggo Lilydale, Sun-Power Gates, Tribute Funeral Services, Yenckens Hardware and Your Computer Services.

The Local Paper has double the readership of The Standard, and seven times that of The Chronicle.

Applications to the Regional and Small Publishers Innovation Fund must be supported by extensive documentation.

All applications are currently undergoing rigorous assessment by the government’s analysts. Successful applications are expected to be announced by the end of October.

Submissions must meet strict eligibility criteria, with accompanying statements of claims.

Funding is available to publishing companies with annual turnover between $150,000 and $30 million.

The Fund aims to support public interest journalism, in publications which have a commitment to factual accuracy. Organisations must not have a formal affiliation with a political party, union, superannuation fund or financial institution Publishers need to demonstrate their willingness to adopt standards similar to those upheld by the Australian Press Council.

Local Media Pty Ltd had to provide detailed costings for the projects, substantiated by independent quotations, and verified accounts from the three past financial years.

As well as the applying for grant funds, publishers had to set out their commitment to part-fund projects.

The expenditure of any grant monies is subject to independent audit.

Successful applicants must demonstrate bold innovation, need, quality, efficiency, effectiveness and value for money.

7 weeks over due ■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish refuses to take silence for an answer.

Eleven weeks ago Ms McLeish asked a question in Parliament to Education Minister James Merlino.

“On a point of order, Speaker, I wish to renew my point of order that I made last sitting week regarding constituency question 14 495, directed to the Minister for Education,” Ms McLeish said.

“It was asked 11 weeks ago, so it is almost seven weeks overdue, and I would request that you follow that up for me.”

The Speaker — I will follow that matter up for the member.

Saleyards located in Yea township

Claiming credit ■ Whittlesea MLA Max McDonald said he was behind Yea Council’s idea to establish organised camping facilities in the vicinity of Stony Creek.

War toys ban ■ Yea Pre-School parents supported the National Day for the Abolition of War Toys, 30 years ago. “War toys portray war as fun,” said teacher Margie Wright. Children were being encouraged in many peace activities such as playing in groups, helping and sharing, respecting other people and their possessions, enjoying nature and noisy games.

On the buses ■ Yea newspaper man Darrell Skinner had the challenge of organising fast transport of the local paper when it rose from 16 pages to 40 pages. To cart the 2½-tonnes of printed paper, Darrell hired a Christie’s bus. Distributors include Margaret Beecroft (Kinglake), Paul Fraser (Kinglake West), John McDonald (Whittlesea/Eden Park) and Norma Rees (Mill Park).

Store for sale ■ The E.S. Purcell general store freehold was sale by auction in September 1988. The sale included a licence to sell packaged liquor. The building was constructed in 1887.

Dindi creek diversion

■ Paul Cox, of Jackson Rd, Murrindindi, was making application in 1988 to divert the Murrindindi River to build a fish farm. Mr Cox applied to the Shire of Yea River Improvement Trust with the proposal.

■ The Labor State Government of 1988 created outrage when it announced it would sell land - proposed for the Yea Helipad - to the highest bidder.

Transport Minister David White said the V/Line land was surplus to needs. This went against earlier announcements by State Transport Minister Jim Kennan.

Benalla MLA Pat McNamara described the move as “a callous disregard for community needs”. He described it as “blood money”. He said the Government was prepared to put lives at risk while it haggled over price.

Shire CEO Peter Mangan said: “It’s obvious the only feasibility the State Government is concerned about is how much money they can sell the land for, not how many lives can be saved.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Marion and children and extended family.”

Second hatchery needed: local MLC ■ Daniel Young, MLC for Northern Victoria, is calling on the Victorian Government to take immediate steps to establish a second fish hatchery, to complement the work of the Snobs Creek facility.

MrYoung, a member of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party, says that with more people fishing Victoria’s inland waterways, the Andrews Labor Government will not commit to measures that will ensure stock production keeps pace.

“Established 70 years ago, Snobs Creek Fish Hatchery is operating at capacity to produce fish and there is a threat to the State’s ability to provide sustainable fisheries supplies,” Mr Young said. “(This is) an issue the Andrews Labor Government was made aware of at the start of this year, following the release of its Draft Freshwater Fisheries Management Plan.

“Despite being aware of the issue, the Government appears to have stalled and the Minister for Agriculture confirmed there is no commitment to create a second hatchery, despite the concerns raised by stakeholders.”

The Victorian Fisheries Authority, with support from the Snobs Creek Advisory Board, has identified the need for a second warm water native fish hatchery in Northern Victoria.

Heritage Centre in ‘Pick My Project’ ■ A Kinglake Heritage Centre is the aim of a group of local people, who are asking for public support in the form of P:ick My Project votes.

“This project will convert the currently unused building that was a club room on Crown Land into a Heritage Centre,” said Bev Johns of the Kinglake Historical Society.

“This building was previously the library at the primary school which was built by parents and was shifted on this site in 2008.

“A Heritage Centre will give the community a space to visit and learn the many stories of our local history.

“Currently the historical society only has limited storage space with no possibility of displaying items.

“On the proposed site is the Mechanics Institute Hall which is the oldest public building in the area with its own story to tell.

“Current, new and former residents can find out more about the past characters and features of the area, giving historical members and other volunteers a way of interacting with the community.

“To be able to do this and upgrade the building we have applied for state government funding through Pick My Project.

“We have been approved eligible for funding and now it is time the community gets to vote.

“The website is www.pickmyproject.vic.gov. au and put in your address it will then allow you to vote. You can short list up to six projects in your area and then vote for three.

From Our 1938 Files

Kinglake Golf Club

■ At a meeting at Kinglake Central on Sunday afternoon it was decided to re-form the Kinglake Golf Club, which has been more or less moribund for amout three years.

Mr. Leo Lawrey offered the use of the paddocks pre viously used by the club.

As sheep are now grazing in these paddocks, the grass is much shorter, and much easier to play on .than previously, and with a little attention to the greens, the links will provide players with a reasonably good game.

Van strikes tree

■ While travelling from Panton Hill towards Etham on Tuesday afternoon a motor van driven and owned by Mr. W. Kennedy, of Alexandra Crescent, South Yarra, swerved off the road through the steering arm failing, and crashed with great force into a tree.

Mr. Kennedy was thrown forward by the force of the impact, and sustained cuts on his face, knee and arm.

W’sea shooting

■ Another shooting tragedy occurred in the neighbourhood of Whittlesea on Saturday, when a lad aged 20 years named Alan Barnfleld, who lived at 52 Woolhouse street, Northcote was killed.

From inquiries made by First Constable Brough, it appears that Barnfleld William Jarman, aged 16 years, of Mount street, Preston, Balf Rothwell, aged 20 years. 20 Arthur street, Preston, and Kevin Gardiner, aged 16 years, of Munro street Coburg, had travelled by car to Whittlesea to camp for the week-end.

They had pitched their camp in a disused quarry on the old Yea road, and Gardiner had been shooting at a target placed in the quarry over the top of the tent.

Suddenly an aeroplane passed overhead, and Barnfleld, who had been lying down in the tent, jumped up to look at the plane.

As he stood up outside the tent, the rifle went off and the bullet entered Barnfield's head above the left ear.

Barnfleld was rushed to the surgery of Dr. Day, and from there by ambulance to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he died shortly after admittance.

Wollert CWA

■ At a largely attended meeting held in the Wayside House on Wednesday of last week, it was decided to form a branch of the Country Women's Association at Wollert.

The President of the Shire of Whittlesea (Cr. R. J. Smith) occupied the chair, and there were 24 ladies present.

The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. W. J. Carr; vice-presidents, Mrs. Greer and Miss Jean Tuttle; hon. secretary, Mrs. A Player; hon. treasurer, Mrs. J. Jeffreys.

Nutfield crash

■ A Singer car driven by a nurse from the Caulfleld Military Hospital, with an elderly man and girl as passengers ailed to take a sharp turn on the Hurstbridge-Nutfield road near the Diamond Creek bridge on Sunday.

It mounted the bank and overturned. The occupants escaped injury except that the driver sustained a cut hand. The mudguards were crumpled, and a window broken.

Yarrambat glory

■ The school grounds look a picture at present owing to the many Cootamundra wattles being in full bloom - a great feast for the eyes.

Alex. Catholic Ball

■ The annual Catholic ball, which was held in the Shire Hall on Friday night last, attracted a large attendance of dancers from all parts of the district. It is remarkable the rapid changes that take lace in regard to those who attend similar functions for a few years. hey then drop out and their places are taken by a new lot of dancers.

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

Bluestone finally comes to WeHo

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

Out and About

Relaxing on West Coast

■ Terry Dean and John Creech, members of Bluestone, have been relaxing in West Hollywood: Bluestone was a popular Melbourne country rock band formed in 1972 by singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer Terry Dean.

Since the 80s Terry has been performing with Gary Carruthers as 'Dean & Curruthers'.

The other foundation member was drummer and singer, John Creech who went on to play drums for Kylie Minogue and now he is the drummer for Russell Morris.

Terry and John came to West Hollywood on their way home from an extensive holiday to Texas and Nashville.

John was born in Texas and wanted to go back to his birthplace so Terry thought that was a good idea for a musical holiday.

The boys have been to Nashville many times over their careers and after a few long nights of reminiscing in West Hollywood they gladly flew home to go from summer back to winter in Melbourne.

Immigrant children lost

● Pictured in the foyer of the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites are Terry Dean, Managing Director Alan Johnson and John Creech.

US currency matters

No trust or will

■ The Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints billions of dollars, referred to as Federal Reserve notes, each year for delivery to the Federal Reserve System.

US currency is used as a medium of exchange and store of value around the world.

According to the Federal Reserve, there is approximately $1.39 trillion worth of Federal Reserve notes in circulation.

Most of those notes are stuffed into walls of the drug cartels in Mexico, and I think Jeff Bezos from Amazon and Mark Zuckerberg have the rest stuffed into their walls as well.

Eagles’ best-seller

■ After battling for decades on the charts, the rock's biggest album has been crowned.

It hasn't been a good month for Michael Jackson's legacy.

Just last week, hip-hop star Post Malone's blockbuster debut album, 2016's Stoney, surpassed the King of Pop's Thriller with the most weeks in the top 10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Now, classic rock legends The Eagles have added insult to injury. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 has overtaken Thriller as the best-selling album of all time, reclaiming the top spot nearly a decade after Michael Jackson's death.

The Recording Industry Association of America recently recalculated sales of the best-of collection and certified the LP as 38x platinum, pushing the 33x platinum Thriller to second place.

The RIAA confirmed the new certifications to Rolling Stone Magazine.

From my Suite at the Ramada Plaza Complex on Santa Monica Blvd

■ Aretha Franklin left no will or trust before her death last week, her attorney says, sparking fears that competing claims on her assets may have to be played out in a public courtroom.

Her four sons filed a document listing themselves as interested parties in her estate, while Franklin's niece Sabrina Owens asked the court to appoint her as personal representative of the estate.

"I was after her for a number of years to do a trust," said Los Angeles attorney Don Wilson, who represented Franklin for nearly 30 years. "It would have expedited things and kept them out of probate, and kept things private."

The lack of a will could prompt a court battle over her assets by creditors or extended family members seeking a portion of her estate.

"I just hope it doesn't end up getting so hotly contested," Wilson said. "Any time they don't leave a trust or will, there always ends up being a fight."

Separately, at the Detroit Tigers game, a rainbow appeared over centerfield during a moment of silence as tribute from the Queen of Soul's hometown.

Engagement defended ■ Music composer David Foster's daughter Sara said her father's "essence and aura" has always attracted women, even her friends. Sara Foster, 30, said that her 68-year-old father is "like forever young."

"His essence and his aura is that of like a 40-year-old," Foster said about her father.

"My 30-year-old friends have always wanted to date him.

Always!"

Foster also spoke about her father's engagement to singer Katharine McPhee, who is 34 years younger than David Foster.

Omarosa banned

■ Is Omarosa Manigault Newman banned from CNN? The controversial former White House staffer and ex-Donald Trump crony has been hawking her book, "Unhinged," on rival MSNBC, but hasn't been able to book an appearance on CNN. "Don Lemon was offered one of the first cable interviews and passed," an insider said. We're told Manigault Newman was also scheduled to appear on Jake Tapper's State of the Union on Sunday, but CNN cancelled the appearance.

Swank ties the knot ■ Hilary Swank has tied the knot. The 44-year-old actress married fiancé entrepreneur Philip Schneider in a "timeless" ceremony at the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, Calif.

"It's a stunning private community surrounded by 20,000 acres of conservancy and an intimate redwood grove populated with trees that are over 800 years old," Swank said.

Staying awake at night

■ A majority of Americans report that stress is keeping them up at night.

Sixty-nine percent of Americans say they occasionally lose sleep because they are worried about something, according to a Bankrate.com survey.

Many people, 41 percent, say they worry about their relationships. Financial concerns came in a close second, with 36 percent of Americans saying money worries keep them up at night.

Among the generations, older Millennials (ages 28 to 37) are most likely to say they lose sleep because they are worried about something, with 77 percent experiencing this problem.

Most older Millennials, 49 percent, are worried about their relationships, with money concerns coming in second at 43 percent. However, this age group is the most likely to be stressed about money, followed by Generation Xers (ages 38 to 53) at 41 percent.

■ On any given day, nearly 20 illegal immigrant children skip their deportation hearings and disappear into the shadows, the Trump administration said, putting contours on the difficulty the government faces in trying to stop the flow and protect the children.

More than 200,000 of the juveniles known in government speak as Unaccompanied Alien Children, or UAC have been released into communities in recent years and remain there, many of them ignoring deportation orders and others awaiting a judge's ruling.

Yet top senators say many of them are "lost," with the federal government having no clue where they are, how to deport them, or even whether they're being abused.

"Shocking," said Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican and chairman of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is probing the matter.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 19

Pioneers of Arthur’s Creek Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ Of the boiling works at Thomastown, it was said: “The smell was abhorent and agitation and reduced business led to its closure and demolition. No mourners queried its passing.

There was also a racecourse on the land. The Thomastown Racing Club held a yearly meeting but the era was unfenced so few paid entrance fees.

When a jockey was killed the authorities closed the course which then became a football ground.

McCoy was a bachelor and had lost a leg, so his niece Miss B. McCormick was his housekeeper, manager, secretary and hostess, and he willed that the hotel to her.

During McCoy’s tenancy the hotel caught fire and was completely destroyed.

The building he had re-enacted in brick constitites the central part of the present structure.

A flour mill built on the north corner of Spring Street and the Epping Road was unprofitable and was soon dismantled.

A more successful enterprise was a crushing and chaffcutting plant Mr Grytzner had as an adjunct to his store on the opposite corner.

The road by now was a busy one with drays laden with firewood, hay and grain, the daily milk carts, and drovers with their mobs of sheep and cattle.

Carts left at 2am for the long slow journey to market with vegetables and returned home next day with the slender proceeds.

By 1876 the old school building had seriously deteriorated. Mr A. McIntyre the architect for the Education Department was unequivocal in his advice: “sell the lot and rebuild in brick”.

The tender went to Richard Davies and it was finished in 1877.

Thomas Hurrey of Preston bought the old school for £20.

The Wesleyan (Methodist) Church was built in Spring Street about 1884 and many adherents to other Denominations became temporary Methodists.

Ministers came from preston, but local preachers carried out most of the work.

In the first wedding in the new Church Rev J.B. Smith officiated at the marriage of Miss Georgia Selkirk to Benjamin James Clinnick.

Mrs Clinnick was organist for many years, and a son, Thomas (1887-1972) has supplied much information.

Annual Easter tea-meetings were highlights in the community life.

People came from surrounding districts and several sittings were held from a concert to follow.

Confident predictions of the district’s growth were made at the opening of the Melbourne to Whittlesea Railway in 1889 but in the Depression that followed the booming nineties, few new ventures were begun, and the railway brought little benefit to the Thomastown district.

A highlight was a meet of the Findon Hunt Club at Thomastown.

The huntsman and whips in their green coats would bring the gounds from Mill Park to meet the train from Caulfield and Melbourne bringing

and became a wheelwright by trade; on October 31, 1848, her married Catherine, daughter of Joseph Chester.

A few months after their second child, Joseph Charles was born.

Charles and Catherine and their family sailed from liverpool on December 13, 1852 in the Kate of 833 tons, with William Rea as master and arrived in Hobson’s Bay on April 13, 1853.

Working first at Foulton’s Foundry, then tenant farming with the Donaldsons at Kangaroo Ground, Charles and Catherine and their family, now two boys and three girls, became pioneer settlers at Arthur’s Creek, or Linton as it was then known.

He named his selection ‘Charnwood’ and until it was cleared he ran sheep and operated a ‘smithy’ not far north of the Arthur’s Creek School.

As roads improved, he began fruit growing, gradually extending his orchard until it covered more than 100 acres and the fruit was marketed in Melbourne.

Other settlers followed his example until the area contained many hundreds of acres of fruit trees, principally apples, pears, plums and peaches.

Each grower, initially, had his own nursery, and at grower meeting new varieties produced in their nurseries were appraised and named.

One variety proven at ‘Charnwood’ is Stewart Seedling, still a popular apple.

Charles imported fruit and other trees from England and America, and exhibited fruit from Philadelphia (97 varieties) and Paris in 1878, and was awarded a silver medal for his collection of fruit at the Melbourne International Exhibitikon of 1880.

At the 1888 Centennial Exhibition in Melbourne he exhibited 200 varieties of fuit receiving first prize in each of four sections.

By 1889 his orchard covered 200 acres and four wagons were needed to take his 700 cases of fruit to the weekly Victoria Market.

His hobby was raising begonias and gloxinias in his glasshouses.

Already a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society (London), he was appointed a Member of the Board of Horticulture for Victoria on August 11, 1890, advising the Department of Agriculture on horticultural matters.

In the civic sphere, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1878 and served as Magistrate in the Eltham and Whittlesea Shires.

From 1896 to 1907 he was elected to Council, first in Whittlesea and later in the Yan Yean Riding, and was President of Whittlesea Shire in 1901 and 1903.

He died on April 23, 1909, and was buried in the Arthur’s Creek Cemetery.

The Ryders and Drapers were joined in 1864 by Thomas and Elizabeth Ann Murphy and their seven children.

Thomas was born 1819, and Elizabeth Ann Gordon was born 1820, both at Derryinver, County Armagh.

Both were weavers by trade and married on September 3, 1844.

On March 27, 1856, Thomas and Elizabeth Ann and their three children, William, Sarah and Thomas Jnr, sailed from Liverpool in the Atlanta, of 920 tons under Captain John Blyth and arrived in Melbourne on June 15, 1856. ● 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: DEADPOOL 2: Genre: Action/Adventure/Comedy.

Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 119 Minutes Stars: ***½ Summary: Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (AKA. Deadpool), brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy of supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-travelling mutant, Cable.

With a solid MA15+ Rating, this wildly imaginative, over-the-top follow-up to 2016s "Deadpool" runs thick and fast with adult ultraviolent action and gross out humour from the opening frame, throwing everything at you except the kitchen sink, and I'm sure that's in there somewhere if you look hard enough.

Running more on fumes than a full tank, the plot is as paper thin as a sheet of toilet paper, and even though the CGI and action sequences are what we have come to expect from the blockbuster Marvel stable, the rapid fire wall-to-wall gags are hit and miss as the "Inspector Clouseau" of super-heroes chews up the scenery.

Following a rogue experiment that left him with special powers, Ryan Reynolds returns as the twisted former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Deadpool, however, it is Josh Brolin as the time-travelling mutant, Cable, along with young Julian Dennison (from "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" - 2016) as the "Carrie" (esque) boy with supernatural powers, that gives the madness and mayhem solidity.

The sparks may not fly as bright in originality and freshness as the first outing, but from a James Bond title sequence parody (that is almost worth the price of admission alone) to Barbra Streisand's "Yentl" (1983) and Disney's "Frozen" (2013), nothing is spared or sacred, so there is a lot to enjoy.

But like most others in the super-hero universe this is two-folded, if you are a fan of the original you'll know exactly what to expect, no more and no less, however, if you are not a fan of the original you know exactly what you are going to get .... and don't turn off during the end credits.

FILM: THE OLD DARK HOUSE: Cast: Boris Karloff, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey, Ernest Thesiger, Gloria Stuart, Melvyn Douglas, Elspeth Dudgeon, Lillian Bond.

Genre: Comedy/Horror/Thriller.

Year: 1932.

Rating: G. Length: 72 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: Seeking shelter from a pounding rainstorm travellers seek refuge in a gloomy and isolated, foreboding old mansion belonging to the extremely strange family, the sepulchral host, his obsessive, Delightfully quirky, richly textured dark gothic comedy-horror-thriller that became the template for many "old dark house" settings over the ensuing decades, most notably cartoonist Charles Addams' "The Addams Family" and the subsequent 1960s TV series and films, as well as the cult classic stage production of "The Rocky Horror Show" and film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975).

Even science fiction has utilized the scenario numerous times, never more so prolific than Ridley Scott's landmark and equally influential "Alien" in 1979.

Directed with great flare and devilishly macabre wit by James Whale (1889-1957), he had just created the groundbreaking horror classic "Frankenstein" (1931), the definitive monster movie that would set the standard in the horror genre for generations to come, and would soon top it off to even greater acclaim with his masterpiece "The Bride of Frankenstein" in 1935.

Whale once again utilized the services of Boris Karloff, by this time a superstar due to the box office sensation "Frankenstein," the strikingly beautiful Gloria Stuart, who would become most known with audiences today as the elder Rose Dewitt Bukater in James Cameron's "Titanic" (1997) over six decades later, and another Whale favourite, veteran Ernest Thesiger, as a wickedly eccentric family head, who would almost reprise his role as the wonderfully outrageous Doctor Pretorius in "The Bride of Frankenstein" three years later.

The cast also includes the often scene-stealing Charles Laughton from the English stage in his first U.S. feature, newly- wed to Elsa Lanchester who would also go on to startle audiences and create screen history as "The Bride of Frankenstein," he would win the Best Actor Academy award the following year in "The Private Life of Henry VIII" (1933), and rounding out the stellar cast are Raymond Massey, Melvyn Douglas, Lillian Bond, and British stage veteran Elspeth Dudgeon, unforgettable also in her screen debut.

Thought lost for decades, it was filmmaker Curtis Harrington (19262007) who conducted a long, demanding and extensive search which resulted in the negative being found and followed by a subsequent restoration, and now this timeless classic of gothic horror that inspires to this day is available in a stunning DVD and Blu-Ray restoration.

It is also another fitting tribute to the genius of filmmaker James Whale, the "Father of Frankenstein," the man who created a world full of God's and Monsters that have cast an overpowering shadow over all those that have followed in cinema in the decades since.

Rourke’s Reviews The Spy Gone North ■ (MA). 137 minutes. Now showing at selected cinemas.

After enduring the idiocy and grand ineptitude of Mile 22, this more thoughtfully plotted South Korean thriller shows that there are film-makers out there who are aiming to entertain a more mature, demanding audience.

Based on a true story, the film deftly (and densely) covers the exploits of Park Suk-young (a mightily impressive Hwang Jung-min), an NIS agent who went undercover in North Korea during the mid-tolate 90s, to gather intel on whether Kim Jong-il had successfully developed nuclear weapons.

Strategically entrenched in the Kim regime, Park's life is put in danger when elections down South unexpectedly place the mission in jeopardy.

Intelligently written, superbly performed, beautifully crafted, and deliberately paced, this is enthralling stuff that requires the audience to pay attention, and director Yoon Jong-bin (Kundo: Age Of The Rampant) artfully develops each intriguing layer, leading us to a poignant, perfectly executed ending.

RATING - ****

The Insult ■ (M). 112 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas August 30.

Though not especially subtle, and featuring a subplot that feels contrived and unnecessary, this is otherwise an absorbing, well-acted drama, one that feels all-too-relevant, given the state of the world today.

Set in Lebanon, the story centres on Tony Hanna (Adel Karam), a local mechanic who takes Palestinian construction chief Yassar Salameh (Kamel El Basha) to court when the two lock horns over a minor incident, one that soon balloons out of control.

Co-writer/director Ziad Doueiri shows the conflict from both sides, making a number of powerful points, but is slightly undercut by a conventional father-daughter plot thread that reminds one of the 1991 Gene Hackman movie Class Action.

RATING - ***½

Crazy Rich Asians ■ (PG). 121 minutes. Opens in cinemas August 30.

With a trailer that promised very little, this romantic comedy is certainly formulaic to its core, but does surprisingly offer some lightweight, good-natured fun.

Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) is an economics professor who has been seeing Nick Young (Henry Golding) for a year, and the relationship is about to take another step forward when he asks her to accompany him to his home in Singapore, to attend his best friend's wedding, but to also meet his family.

This is where she discovers Nick's secret; his family are super

rich, and known throughout the Asian territories. Nick's mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh), along with other wealthy acquaintances, don't approve, so Rachel will have to fight to keep her man. The film is full of glitz and glamour, colourfully designed and photographed, but what keeps this predictable, superficial (and overlong) endeavour afloat is its imminently likeable cast, with Wu, Golding, and particularly Awkwafina delivering refreshingly appealing performances.

RATING - ***

Mile 22

■ (MA). 95 minutes. Opens in cinemas August 30.

Brainless and visually incoherent, this mind-numbingly awful effort, apparently kicking off a future franchise, embraces everything that is wrong with modern movie action. Mark Wahlberg stars as James 'Jimmy' Silva, a highly intelligent but dangerously unstable outsider who is taken in by the CIA, and put in charge of an elite, secretive team called Overwatch, who defeat terrorists that are attacking world democracy. The group's latest assignment is to get ex-military officer Li Noor (Iko Uwais) out of the fictional South East Asian city of Indocarr, as evil government agents want him dead, due to his knowledge of the whereabouts of stolen nuclear material that could destroy the world. Peter Berg's direction is atrocious, making the action practically incomprehensible, especially ruining Uwais' impressive fighting skills, while Lea Carpenter's script is devoid of character and story foundation and details. Mark Wahlberg is completely over-the-top and obnoxious, and the political viewpoint is simplistic and offensively right-wing.

An inept variation on Clint Eastwood's The Gauntlet and Richard Donner's 16 Blocks.

RATING - *

Happytime Murders

■ (MA). 91 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

Despite being overseen by the son of the legendary Jim Henson and his talented puppet workshop, this one-note, desperately unfunny attempt to subvert the cuddly muppet universe never comes close to fulfilling its potential. In a world where humans and muppets live side by side, former police officer, now private detective, Phil Philips (voiced by Bill Barretta), reluctantly has to team up with ex-partner Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy) to investigate a string of murders involving the cast of an 80's TV show. Todd Berger's script is pitiful, devoid of ideas, imagination, and laughs, while Brian Henson shows little interest in injecting any kind of energy or bite into proceedings. McCarthy is shrill and grating, spewing forth a continuous stream of profane ad-libs that are simply not funny. To see this kind of concept done right, please watch Peter Jackson's hilarious 1989 feature, Meet The Feebles.

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 never had the pleasure of meeting Evie Hayes. The closest I got was at a performance of Annie Get Your Gun by the now defunct ARC Theatre Company in Burwood which was directed by Marie Cumisky.

It was 1981 and Evie was carried into the theatre by her friend David Wiseman to attend the matinee because at that stage Evie was suffering from multiple sclerosis.

I was working backstage on the show but I didn't have the opportunity to meet lady that I admired so much.

Vina Evelyn (Evie) Hayes was born on the first of June 1912 in Seattle, Washington.

By the time Evie was four she was singing and dancing. At the age of seven she toured with the Douglas Dancers and worked in vaudeville.

Her father George was a theatre designer and the family moved to California in 1923.

Evie appeared in several small roles in Hollywood films and landed a job as a singer on radio KNX. This led to a two-week engagement at The Coconut Grove and working with a young rising star named, Bing Crosby.

In 1934 Evie was working for Irving Berlin (the man who later wrote shows that Evie starred in) in New York as a "song plugger".

She met Will Mahoney, who at that time was the highest paid variety star in America.

Will's stage act consisted of a great comedy routine as Will danced and sang on a xylophone.

Whatever Happened To ...

Evie Hayes

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM

Mahoney cast Evie as the star of his new variety show which toured the UK and Europe.

He performed in a Royal Command Performance in 1935. Will was almost 20 years older than Evie but they fell in love and married in 1938.

It was Will's third marriage and Evie's first.

They came to Australia for the Tivoli circuit and made a film in Sydney titled, Ants In His Pants, in which Chips Rafferty made his screen debut as a man in the crowd.

During the war years Will Mahoney managed the Cremorne Theatre in Brisbane.

They both gave great support to the war loan campaign and recorded a song titled It's Up To You.

● Evie Hayes In 1947 Evie landed the lead role of Annie Oakley in the stage musical Annie Get Your Gun. The show was a tremendous success and ran for 3½-years.

Evie Hayes starred in many shows in Australia such as Kiss Me Kate, Oklahoma, Call Me Madam and Funny Girl.

In 1958 Evie joined Channel 9 and worked on various television shows including the Happy Show and Thursday At One. She did commercials for Tom Piper soup, Tip Top bread and Westinghouse during Gra-

5

ham Kennedy's In Melbourne Tonight.

But most people remember her for the Hecla commercials, when Graham would be very naughty and ad lib whilst Evie would try to maintain dignity and finish with the slogan "By Hecla, its good!"

Everybody loved Evie Hayes. After the love of her life Will Mahoney passed away during 1967 Evie opened her own talent school and was a judge on Young Talent Time at ATV-0.

Her last public appearance was in a variety concert at World Expo 88 in Brisbane where she sang for the last time.

Evie Hayes died of a heart attack on Boxing Day 1988 and her memorial service was held at St Francis Church in Melbourne.

Many of her showbusiness friends attended and Bert Newton gave the final tribute.

There is a wonderful biography on the life of Evie Hayes titled And I Loves Ya Back written

by John Crampton which I thoroughly recommend.

Evie, wherever you are, all your fans - loves ya back!

Royals selling $900 million family jet

■ The Royal Family of Qatar on the Arabian Peninsula has put a family Boeing 747 up for sale, because they say they’ve got another one and want to downsize.

At £500 million (British), which is around A$876.5-million, this flying royal palace was bought new in 2012, and it then took Boeing a whole two years to fit it out at their San Antonio plant to the Qatari’s specifications.

And amazingly, it’s clocked-up a mere 436 hours in four years of royal flying duties ... which is just eighteen 24-hour days, or 36 12-hour days, meaning it is still virtually as-new.

Australian specialist aviation website, airlineratings.com says the plane has First Class style seating for just 76 passengers served by 18 crew in several lounge areas, a double-bedroom suite for the royal couple, the royals’ dining room with a table seat-

OK. With John O’Keefe Partidge Family doings

● Danny Bonaduce ■ They’re a strange lot in America, particularly if your past history includes a feature part of the long running Partridge Family TV show.

Better still if your name is Danny Bonaduce aka Danny Partridge.

These days Danny is often caught on camera searching for Partridge albums in record bars. Upon discovery of a golden oldie Danny pulls out a pen, signs the back of the album, puts the album back and leaves the store.

Asked about this obsession he said his signature is ‘added value’, and Danny saunters onto the next location .

Remember the Go Show?

■ Those with fond memories of the 1960s will be pleased to hear the works of almost all 130 of the artists from The Go Show on Ten, (or was it Channel O?), have been remastered into the one album.

The Go Show was only shown in Victoria from 1965-67 and most artists released records through Go Records before it was closed with the axing of the TV show.

Well known drummer Gil Matthews is behind the re-creation, available from Aztec Records, $ 50 .

And there are two galleys on the main deck and a third on the upper deck, with each having their own catering crews.

The little State of Qatar has a population of 2.6 million of whom only 313,000 are Qatari citizens, the other 2-million-odd being expatriates employed in or associated with its natural gas and oil reserves that are the third largest in the world. ● Thejet’s upper deck has a double bedroom for the royal couple, as well as this throneroom style lounge area which can double as a boardroom with a massive table and chairs brought in if needed.

Was that Wilbur Wilde?

■ Looks awfully like former star of Hey, Hey It's Saturday, Wilbur Wilde, in the current TV spot for AAMI Insurance.

Gotcha .

Kids from Kananook

■ Musical instruments were pretty lean in the music room at Kananook Primary School , near Seaford. Kiss 101.1 heard about it and teamed with The School of Rock – the Musical, and donated $ 10,000 worth of instruments, microphones and other gear. Nice gesture .

Heggies, 6kms away, so different ■ There's a lovely story to the illustration on the label of the HillSmith family's Heggies wines in high country of the Eden Valley, bordering South Australia's legendary Barossa Valley.

The label features an illustration of a man on a horse - Colin Heggie, a local grazier whom the HillSmiths brought the property from, aboard Jack, his faithful chestnut.

Legend has it that Jack knew his way home so well that the local publican would just make sure that Colin was in the saddle, then slap Jack on the behind, and the horse would safely deliver Colin.

Apocryphal or not, it's a nice story.

The vineyard is only about six kilometres as the crow flies from the Hill-Smiths' Pewsey Vale, which I wrote about visiting, but it's completely different.

It's lower down and more protected, and I'm sure that its large lake has an ameliorating effect on conditions there.

A deck overlooking the lake, and a nearby kitchen, mean that it's more immediately ready to accept tourists but I sincerely hope they are

Local News Day on the Deck

■ Kinglake Pub will hold a ‘Day On The Deck’ on Sunday, September 9, to raise funds for drought-affected farmers.

A ‘Snags for Ags’event will be held from 1pm. A gold coin donation is asked for the event which is alternatively known as ‘Bangers for Bales’.

Stoked band and local musician Jasper Hicks will entertain. Fifty cents from every Pale Ale sold will be donated towards the famers.

The full proceeds from, any Great Northern Beer pot, schooner or pint will go to the cause, thanks to the donation of kegs by CUB.

Forest logging

■ Greens State Parliamentarian Ellen Sandell asked about forest logging, last week in the Legislative Assembly: “My question is to the Premier. Premier, you came to power in 2014 promising to finally deal with the issue of the logging of Victoria’s native forests, but four years later logging continues.

“Greater glider and Leadbeater’s possum habitat is being cut down and then burnt to the ground at a rate of five MCGs per day.

“Victorians are rightly outraged that their taxes still subsidise the destruction of our beautiful ancient forests and that your government allows it.

“Premier, why has your government failed so spectacularly to deal with this critical issue, and will you do anything about it before the election?,” Ms Sandell said.

Premier Dabiel Andrews replied: “I thank the member for Melbourne for her question, and I understand why she asked the question, but I have no announcements today to make about the government’s forestry policy.

“I would, however, reflect, with the greatest of respect to the member for Melbourne, that we will not be turning to the Greens political party for any guidance on these or any other matters.

“It is not commentary we need to deal with biodiversity. It is not commentary we need to deal with sustainability in this or any other industry. It is not commentary we need to protect jobs and enhance them for the future.

“It is not commentary we need to, for instance, have regional forestry agreements or other protections in place, because at the end of the day words from the cheap seats do not mean very much.

“They do not mean very much — not in the Central Highlands, not in the Kuark forest and not in any part of our state for that matter.

“So might I say, with the greatest of respect for the member for Melbourne, I have no policy announcements in that area of policy to make today, and in the event that I did have any announcements to make she could learn of what the government might or might not be doing; and she could learn about action as opposed to running commentary from the cheap seats where there is never any accountability, where there is never any sense of responsibility. It is always commentary.

Mr Wynne — The air is always clear up there.

MrAndrews— The air is clearer in those cheap seats, it would seem. We will not be lectured by the Greens political party and we certainly would not be lectured by this lot over here. I thank the member for her question, and I have nothing further to add.

Supplementary question Ms Sandell - The Premier is correct in that it is not commentary that is needed to save our forests, it is action, which has been sorely lacking from this government. Premier, if these forests continue to be destroyed, not only will we lose more vital habitat for endangered species but the traditional owners who own this land will lose more country and more totems before treaty negotiations have even started. This leaves them with even less to negotiate with. Given these forests are on Aboriginal land, shouldn’t there be at least a moratorium on logging on this country while the treaty process is underway?

MrAndrews — No, and I would refer the member for Melbourne to my answer to her substantive question.

Regional Politics Sports shout-out

■ Eltham MP Vicki Ward (Labor) last week spoke in State Parliament about local sports organisations: “I would just like to give a big shout-out to all those amazing junior football clubs that played their grand finals on Sunday and made a tremendous effort.

“To the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of parent volunteers who get out every Sunday no matter what the weather and help their kids, congratulations,” Ms Ward said.

Gift keeps giving

■ Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green (Labor) last week described the Mernda railway porjectas the “gift that keeps on giving”: “ Many people simply saw this as a transportation project. It has been so much more than that. We have seen more than 3000 jobs in the delivery of that project, and I would like to commend the Level Crossing Removal Authority and John Holland for delivering that project more than six months ahead of schedule.

“John Holland has delivered that project in about 12 months. They also did the South Morang rail extension, which was not as complex a project but it took twice as long, so the innovation that John Holland have used has seen the early delivery of that project.

“We actually need projects to be delivered early because there are so many projects in the market. Sometimes you get to the point of there not being enough competition because there is so much work here in Victoria.

So the delivery of projects early means that jobs can be generated in the next area,” Ms Green told the LegislativeAssembly.

Tech. school opens

■ The opening of the Banyule-Nillumbik Tech. School has been mentioned in State Parliament by Anthony Carbines MLA (Labor): “I was very pleased to join the Premier, the Deputy Premier, the Minister for Training and Skills and the member for Eltham at the opening of the BanyuleNillumbik Tech School, a $10 million project to invest in our young people.

“Some 14,000 students from 19 secondary schools across the Banyule and Nillumbik local government areas will benefit from that tech school.

“The Premier also announced the next 10 free TAFE courses for high-demand industries. It was a huge celebration and young people are very excited — that is 14,000 students across secondary schools in the Ivanhoe, Bundoora, Yan Yean and Eltham electorates that will benefit from that tech school, and all power to them,” Mr Carbines said.

Chalk Circle

■ St Helena Secondary College students have been congratulated in State Parliament

by Eltham MLA Vicki Ward: “I rise to congratulate the cast and crew of St Helena Secondary College on their performance of Chalk Circle recently.

“It was a brilliant play and a mature and considered performance. I especially congratulate the ‘sixers’, who have had their last performance at St Helena. It has been a pleasure watching them grow and develop over the past five years.

“The cast were Benoit Vari, Max Williams, Brooke Naismith, Areeya Phrompradit, Keeley James, Bernalise Anderson, Bernadette D’Agata, Tommy Murphy, Tatum Sterling, Olivia Nielissen, Elise Harrison, Paris Thomson, Nicolette Ryan, Keera Franceschini, Nathaniel Roussety, Riley Pascoe, Joel Pilkington, James Scott, Nathaniel Ryan, Jordan Clark, Mark Laurie and Nathan Gatt.

“The director was Amanda Egglestone.

The crew included Sam Bliss, Josh Bliss, Ellen Naismith, Cathie Murphy, Stephen Hawker, Kaidn Hawker, Tomas Gerasimidis, Zoe Pelly, Tom Creber, Jacquee Dickins, Brooke Lockwood, Gem Correzzola, Samantha Owen, Peta Cockburn, Jackie Ellis, Lynne Bartlett and Danielle Sterling. It was a magnificent play and they should all be congratulated,” Ms Ward said.

Girls’ Football

■ Yea High School Senior Girls football team played in the Hume Region football finals in Mooroopna last month.

The team gelled together quickly against Notre Dame College, with an early goal by Tatiana Crumpen-Dolheguy. Elly HendrieMacDonald.

YHS’s dominant backline led by Nicki Watts and Lily Undie continually stopped Notre Dame short. YHS were the victors by nine points.

The second game was against Galen College which was unfortunately called off early due to an injury however as YHS were in the lead this did not impact on their overall results.

Lst game of the day and the final was against Corryong. Corryong had girls ranging in ages from Year 7 – 12 competing against much larger schools.

Cooryong were a strong opposition with many talented players but were no match for the YHS girls who were in devastating form by the end of the tournament. Cassy Wilsmore, Jordan Watts, Arienne Holdsworthy-Rose and Asha Close were magnificent across the mid field.

Shayla Perry, a Year 7 student, played beyond her years and looks a likely prospect for the future. Ruby O’Dwyer was not frightened to take the game on and was unstoppable.

YHS were the victors by 16 points.

The YHS girls played in the state semi finals at Blackburn.

Sir, Women’s Health Week has become a respected fixture on the Australian health calendar since 2013.

Women lead such busy lives that we often put our person health on the back burner. This week is a timely reminder for women of all ages to make their health a top priority.

In 2017, Jean Hailes surveyed 10,377 about their health needs. Of that number, three- quarters of those women described their overall health as ‘good’ or ‘very good.’

The survey further found that only 60 per cent of women are not fulfilling 2.5 hours of moderate physical activity per week.

Each year, Women’s Health Week continues to grow in momentum, as both the public and healthcare professionals recognise the benefits of taking time out to think about health issues.

This year, it is anticipated that more than 60,000 women have registered to take part in the week which runs from September 3-7 2018.

I encourage women o embrace this year’s event as an opportunity to take charge of their physical and mental wellbeing.

More information about Women’s Health Week and registration can be found online at: www.womenshealthweek.com.au - Steph Ryan, MLA for Euroa 25 Bridge St East, Benalla

Home Care boost Sir, A Liberal Government will deliver a $175 million expansion of home and community care and support for Victorians with chronic disease and other conditions.

Many Victorians have to be admitted into a public hospital or have extended stays in hospital due to the limited availability of Hospital in the Home or equivalent care.

Hospital in the Home helps patients, who can safely be treated outside hospitals, get back home to their loved ones but with regular visits and support from health care professionals.

A Liberal Government will provide increased support to help thousands of Victorians with complex health conditions to identify their needs, navigate care choices and get appropriate treatment.

Extra funding for the Hospital in the Home program will support an additional 6000 patients each year. In summary, the Liberal Policy will establish: ■ A 'Home Hospital', expanding, by up to the equivalent of 200 acute beds, Hospital in the Home services supporting an additional 6000 patients each year discharged from emergency departments and wards or referred directly from nursing homes or GPs, who would otherwise be in hospital; ■ Home visiting and community support services for up to 5000 people per year living with multiple chronic diseases to help manage their diseases and prevent or delay hospital readmission; ■ Enhanced support for young people with chronic disease transitioning from the Royal Children's Hospital to adult services; ■ New small grants for local chronic disease peer support groups, including online groups; and ■ A state-wide plan for chronic disease management including approaches which prevent people from being admitted to hospital This policy commitment significantly expands the range of treatment options for Victorians with significant health needs and builds on Liberal Nationals commitments.

- Cindy McLeish, MLA for Eildon Bell St, Yarra Glen

The train, which left Tallarook for Mansfield at 9 o'clock this morning, consisted of a D.D. engine, 14 trucks, one small passenger and corridor car, and tho crew in charge of it were -J. Redmond, driver; O. Vickery, fireman; W. Armstrong, guard; and J. Holson and T. Arnlloy, assistant guards.

On leaving Yea there were 30 passengers on the train, including a number of commercial travellers.

At Cheviot nine trucks wore "kicked" off.

Between Cheviot and Molesworth the train passes through mountainous country, with steep declines, and it has often been remarked that it is a most dangerous spot, as the line almost forms a circle. , The place where the accident occurred is known as Harvey's Gully, which is spanned by a bridge about 100 feet in length, and about 30 feet high.

At the approach to this bridge there is a steep embankment on cither side.

From what can he ascertained it appears that when approaching the bridge a- truck left the line, but without attracting attention.

It continued on its course with the wheels dragging along the permanent way.

Just .be fore the bridge was reached the coupling of the derailed truck broke.

The result was that the truck turned turtle, and dragged another truck with ' it.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

■ The AFLYarra Ranges League Round 18 of the 2018 season last Saturday saw the Rebels travel to Kinglake for the final round of the home and away games in two games of football and four games of netball whilst the Under 18s travelled to Woori Yallock. The weather was exceptionally good and the ground in very good condition.

UNDER 18s The Under 18s took on the fourth placed Woori Yallock who had won their first encounter earlier in the season by 17 goals but the improvement in the Rebels continued as both teams kicked the one goal in the first quarter, the Tigers then kicking six goals to one in the second quarter to take a handy lead at half time.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

The third quarter was free flowing as the Tigers kicked an accurate six goals from seven scoring shots whilst the Rebels had their share of the play with six scoring shots but only converting two of those as goals.

Another even quarter in the last as the Tigers kicked two goals to one to take the win 15.7 (97) to 5.4 (34) as the Rebels have one more game, travelling to Belgrave to take on Monbulk this Saturday.

Awards: Bundalaguah Engineering award Hayden Gilmore, Hadfield Contractors award Jake Keath, Alexandra Tyrepower award - Tom Rouget, RPT Plastering award - Nathan Stewart, DMK Taxation award - Zach Pedlar, Alexandra Apparel award - Willem Woolford.

RESERVES The Reserves, in sixth place with five changes to the team challenged Kinglake with only pride at stake as neither team could make Finals.

Alex kicked to the clubrooms end initially and soon looked the better team with early goals to Shane Hill (2) and Jedd Hamill but in a scrambly second quarter Alex extended their margin, thanks to the defence of Chase Pearce and James Kidd.

After half time, Alex were well on top with Phil Heveren (4 goals) finishing off the efforts of Travis Carter, Tom Halligan and Tom Dodemaide in the midfield whilst the defence kept the home side scoreless.

The last quarter was much tighter where Kinglake were able to kick their only goals for the game whilst Alex was wasteful with 2 goals (Hill) 6 behinds for their efforts, Alex 12.20 (92) to Kinglake 2.3 (15).

Unfortunately, the Reserves have missed the Finals for the first time in many years but it was hard for coach Scott Whitehead to get any stability with the many changes to the side every week as players missed because of injury or other commitments.

Awards: Caltex $25 fuel card - Tom Dodemaide, Alex Sportspower $20 award Chase Pearce, Grant St Grocer $20 meal - Travis Carter, JAMMM Catering $20 meal - Tom Halligan, Buxton Hotel $20 meal - Phil Heveren.

SENIORS The Seniors, in fifth spot level with Powelltown and a game clear of Yea, took on the eighth placed Kinglake, hoping for their first win at the usually wet or windy mountain top ground since 2014 which would secure fifth place and a Finals spot, including Brent McDonald and Lee Ragg to replace Tom Halligan and James Kidd.

Kinglake began to the clubrooms end and play rebounded back and forth early as each side's defence was on top but Kinglake got the first goal of the game before the Steiner twins Matt and Steve combined to get Alex into a scoring position where Brayden Norris took a fine one-handed mark but was offline.

Kinglake got the next two goals and looked like they were up for the challenge, Brandon Kapakoulakis and Steve Steiner were prominent early and again gave Norris a chance and he kicked Alexandra's first goal.

Conor Heaslip and Jack Goonan had to work hard in defence to keep the home side at bay, Scott Hill marked under pressure but his kick did not match the mark.

Ben Cooper using one of the features of his game, tackling, goaled from the resultant free but the Rebels trailed by a goal at the first change.

The Steiners and Hill combined to give Cooper another shot at goal but it went wide. One of many errant hand passes allowed Kinglake the next goal but Alex was going forward often for behinds before Norris went down in a heavy clash and appeared dazed.

A Kinglake defender fumbled in the goal square and Cooper pounced. Ben Woollard sent his team forward and Matt Steiner goaled to give Alex the lead as they now seemed to be getting on top.

This was soon reversed as the Lakers then kicked six unanswered goals in the last half of

the quarter including one after the siren to go to a 31-point lead at half time, Alex 2.7 to Kinglake 7.2 for the quarter was the main difference.

Steve Steiner burst out of the centre and passed accurately to Norris for a goal within the first minute of the third quarter to give Alex the perfect start but unfortunately only two further goals to Norris and Joe Daniel who was now coming into the game was all that the Rebels could manage for the quarter whilst the home side with the speedy Crowe (#7) and strong marking Quinten (#24) were able to get Kinglake forward where Nixon (#12) added goals.

Down six goals at the last change Alexandra's hopes of playing Finals appeared now in Gembrook Cockatoo's hands and the wonders of modern communication told Alex supporters that they only held a five-point lead over Powelltown at three-quarter time.

Kinglake extended the margin by six points after a period of uninspiring play and again Steve Steiner won the centre clearance but his long kick was touched on the line but Alex came again and Heveren made the distance from a mark.

Alex were now using the ball more efficiently and Hill roved a marking contest to goal. Daniel marked twice and the second enabled him to goal as Alex was now "coming home with a wet sail".

Matt Steiner and Norris forwarded for Hill to goal again as supporters were now looking to the scoreboard.

Alex were continually in attack and after further goals to Daniel and Cooper to reduce the margin to less than a goal it seemed that Alex were going to pull off a great last quarter win.

Unfortunately, the siren sounded as Alex again went forward with Alex four points short 13.16 (94)to Kinglake 15.8 (98).

Fortunately, the result at Gembrook went Alexandra's way and they will now, along with the B- and C- Grade netball teams, contest the Finals at either Healesville or Woori Yallock next Sunday (Sept. 2) Check the Club website midweek for the decision on the venue. How unlucky was Brayden Norris, 20 goals ahead prior to round 18 he looked odds on to win his second successive Division 2 goalkicking award, Brayden adding three goals at Kinglake to bring his tally to 73 but Nathan O'Keefe kicked 25 at Thornton last Saturday to take his tally to 75 as Seville amassed 59 goals.

THORNTON-EILDON FOOTBALL-NETBALL CLUB REPORT

■ That’s a wrap for TEDFNC for season 2018 with the last round played at their home ground against Seville last Saturday.

On reflection, starting with a club holding on by its finger tips with disheartened doubt creeping into the hearts and minds on its progression moving into the future.

Some very brave, special people certainly stepped up to the plate this year and worked tirelessly to keep the wheels turning.

Without this wonderful bunch of people today, providing opportunities within our community to be active, make new friends and achieve personal goals.

Much has been achieved this year and it really is something all should be proud of. As someone has once said this year, it may not be perfect season but it’s something to build on.

This kind of honesty and valuation for the future in truly invaluable and this is why many honestly look forwards to a bright future here at Thornton.

Thank-you extends to the executive committee Dave, Chantelle and Darren for all the hard work put in week in and out. Liz for working hard the start of the season, getting our renovations up and running. The canteen ladies who are a well-oiled amazing bunch of girls stepping back into the club.

Jerky constantly on the gate. Gyro. Sloanie.

Our coaches Dave, Allan, Matty, Sandra, Jeremy plus offsiders assisting. Jess and Brodie for keeping netball alive all this season.

Time keepers and score board volunteers.

Runners. All the players and supporters showing up week in and out.

Our trainer Lisa and band of helpers. Our team captains.

Our sponsors are a huge part of our club and we thank you hugely for the ongoing support of all club members and really look forwards to building our community together looking forwards. ● Continued Next Page

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

Continued from previous page A difficult year overall on the score board does not shadow out all the positives. We are very proud of our netballers this season and astounded at the positive approach every week with real improvements supporting old and new players on the football field.

Seeing many men out on the training track every week, and the group banding together to keep footy alive out at Thornton should not be oversighted. Many clubs within the league admire Thornton’s fight and front, every week when the chips seem to be down.

We would like to thank the supporters of this group and appreciate the acknowledgment of the group’s ability to dig deep. Some wonderful memories have been created this season and will be a talking point for years to come.

The inclusion of a Women’s football team this year was a breath of fresh air and amazing to see the smiles of all involved and a happiness of simple involvement.

It formed a very special piece of history for the club, and the local area which will no doubt keep building into the future. Well done to everyone involved and the bravery, we look forwards to consolidating our future in the Eastern league.

- Sarah Stevenson Final Netball report 2018 season by Jess Slapp.

Both grades took to the court with anticipation for our final game, with intentions of ending the season with high spirits and looking forward to our coming years.

We met fierce opposition from the Seville sides as they polished their plays during the game for their finals chances in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately the pace of the game got taken from us during both games, with Seville's strong attack and defence proving harsh for our players.

Some great plays were carried out in C-Grade headed up by Sammi in the midcourt, resulting in our final score line thanks to Jayne and her target practice.

B-Grade saw some great defence by Maddie and Heather once again, and Tayla was always an option for the play in centre.

Nevertheless, both teams came off in high spirits and ready to relax for the summer.

Thornton Netball Club thanks all of these tireless, persistent and just generally awesome players for making this season such a pleasure to be a part of.

The comraderie within the netball club is to be envied and helpers are always at the ready, which is a fantastic attribute for a club to have.

See you all in 2019.

Thornton Shinboners are looking forward to season 2019.

- Jess Slapp

and how the coaches had ensured the best possible result with a good centre count (most scoring shots in the very centre of the target).

It seems the match did not go on without some incidents like Marty’s first couple of shots not registering on the E Targets, it soon become apparent that Marty’s shots were hitting the wind flag that blew across the range in the last 200 yards before the target.

The highlight for our ECDRA team was the high number of 58s and 59s scattered across the score board. Especially Game Kerr’s 59.8, showing that only two shots were not in the absolute dead centre of the target 900 yards away.

While it was also noted that there were a number of shots on the wrong target from the other teams, a situation that is more common at the extreme ranges.

At Katandra there is a tradition that a shot on the wrong target means the donation of a flagon to the host club, after Saturday it seems it will be well stocked.

Captain Marty said it was a beautiful winter's day with the exception of the gusting south westerly wind that blew up from behind the shooters, a very difficult wind to read and to predict.

A feature of the ECDRA shooters this week was the 57.3 by Paul Watkins. Paul, a new precision target shooter with very little experience shooting over such a long distances.

Not so long ago many experienced shooters would welcome a 57 on a difficult day like last Saturday, well done Paul.

The final scores for the day are decided on handicap and with the strong performance of Graeme, David, Marty and Terry with minimal handicap to help were strong performers both off-rifle and with handicap.

Off-Rifle scores for ECDRA were Graeme Kerr (top score) 59.8, 57.5 = 116.3, followed by David Wallace 58.3, 57.5 = 115.8, Terry Gee 57.2, 58.1 = 115.3, Marty Kelly 55.3, 59.3 = 114.6, Neal Hambridge 56.2, 58.4 = 114.6, Brian Houlihan 55.1, 57.2 = 112.3, Paul Watkins 57.3, 54.4 = 111.7 and Geoff Janes 53.1, 58.5 = 111.6.

Captain Marty said the team missed the experience of both More Linehan and Robert Chaffe who are both on the sick list we trust the Norm is soon back on his feet and that Rob might get back to the range before the end of the season.

The regular ECDRA practice shoot on Wednesday (Aug. 22) proved to be very welcome for those who could make the shoot.

600 yards was chosen to give practice over the longest range ready for Saturday’s 900 yard shoot.

The day proved to be very pleasant if you discount that Violet Town wind. We can’t growl too much as struggling with this wind certainly helped keeping the shooter in the middle of the target at Katandra.

The results were: T-Rifle - A grade Peter Daldy 48.7, 47.3 = 95.10, F-Std - B grade Brian Houlihan 47.1, 51, 56.2 = 154.03, F-Open - A grade Neal Hambridge 56.3 49.1 = 105.04 F-TR - A grade Marty Kelly 55.1,. 55.2 = 110.03 ★ ECDRA members are reminded that the annual meeting will be held next Saturday morning before the shoot in the afternoon.

Secretary Graeme reports that the annual meeting should be a short affair as the current office bearers are willing to continue .

There will be a general meeting after the annual meeting to allow members to catch up on some of the operational needs of the club including planning of the annual servicing of the targets. Graeme said that the serving should be a breeze this year as the Hex System people had shown the quick and easy way to go about the job so as to minimise physical work and to ensure that the serviced targets are as good as new. This is just one benefit of having an Australian designed built and serviced electronic system, no “chinglish" instruction manuals. New shooters are most welcome and if you intend to drop in on Saturday please give the President or Secretary a call to let the Club know you are coming as it will be a busy day.

- Robert Chaffe

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT ■ The East Central District Rifle Association Inc came second to Karramomus in round two of the 2018 Chas Hayes Long Range pennant shoot over 900 yards on Saturday at the Katandra Rifle Range.

Consistency and a high centre count ensured the ECDRA with 593 held second place to the winners Karramomus 595 with Nagambie third with 593 followed by Shepparton/Nathalia 586 and Katandra 565.

The Chas Hayes Pennant point score is ECDRA and Karramomus on 9 points, Nagambie and Shepparton/Nathalia both on 5 and Katandra 2.

This really puts the pressure on the ECDRA team as the final round of the Chas Hayes will be shot over 1000 yards at the Karramomus range in a couple of weeks time, a distinct home ground advantage to the Karramomus team.

Marty Kelly, Captain of the ECDRA team, said his team is ready to give their best to take the final round and the pennant.

He went on to say, it was a great to see the way the ECDRA team members help each other

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.
