YEA HOSPITAL MERGER OFF ■ The merger between Yea Hospital and Seymour Health is off.

But Yea Hospital will still look to collaborate with a number of health institutions to provide the best possible services.

● Sally Brennan, Labor candidate for Eildon, with fishing identity Rex Hunt, at the Trout Season opening at Eildon on Saturday.

Yibbida, yibbida ■ The opening of the trout season took place at the Eildon Pondage on Saturday (Sept. 1).

Labor candidate for Eildon, Sally Brennan joined fishing celebrity Rex Hunt at the launch of Victoria's biggest-ever trout season opening.

The event was held during the Goulburn Fishing Festival..

"This is part of the Andrews Labor Government's Target One Million plan that's investing a record $46 million to get more people fishing, more often,” Ms Brennan said.

What was so great about today was to see all the dads and mums out with their kids in that glorious environment, out to catch themselves a fish.

"It was pretty special to have Rex Hunt to help you tie your line and set you up. The kids had a ball,”she said.

"I heard that the Eildon Bakery had its biggest day ever, so more people fishing is really good for the local economy, and local job. Get around it!" Sally said.

Trout releases took place last week along the Goulburn River in anticipation of a bumper trout season, with some fish up to 10 kgs.

WIN TV and Nine Border North-East News had reports that included locals including Jacque Garlick, Ray Hopkins and politician Jaclyn Symes MLC (Labor, Northern Victoria Region).

A statement was issued on Friday (Aug. 31) by Yea Hospital Chair Ian Marshman: “The board of Yea and District Memorial Hospital is committed to a collaboration with other hospitals in the region for the significant benefit of our community.

“The board has determined that closer collaborative relationships would bring more benefits than a merger.”

Mr Marshman said the Yea community would be better served by working with several partners.

“We think that collaboration will offer more flexible and quality services and greater opportunities to share expertise and leverage existing good practices across the region.

“We want to work with local health and welfare practitioners and collaborate with other hospitals and health services in the region on health service planning.

“We are already working with Alexandra Hospital and Darlingford Aged Care on a services plan for the Murrindindi region.

“One objective is to identify ways in which the three health services can work more closely to strengthen and increase services in the Murrindindi Shire.”

Mr Marshman said the hospital was still operating well today, and thanked staff and volunteers for their support while planning reviews had been undertaken.

“We have a new board with a

Talks with the PM ■ Indi MHR Cathy McGowan (Ind.) spoke to new Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week and will continue to negotiate with him on major issues affecting the local electorate.

Buy A Bale ● Ian Marshman, Chair, Yea and District Memorial Hospital: merger is off range of skills in business and finance, health sector experience, local government, community services and health academia.

“Added to this, the hospital is in a strong financial position.

“The quality of our service is also excellent, as seen by our reaccreditation by Australian Council of Healthcare Standards for a further three years,” he said.

“And a major review of Yea’s Clinical Services Plan also is almost complete. This was undertaken in consultation with the local community and we will be reporting the decisions back to the community,” he said.

Mr Marshman thanked the Board and CEO of Seymour Health for the collegial manner in which they work with Yea. “We are keen to continue to work with Seymour, along with other public health providers, in developing and implementing health planning for the Upper Goulburn communities they serve,” he said.

Ambitious plans OPINION ■ Yea Hospital has the reputation as being one of the “healthiest and wealthiest” in the state of Victoria.

A year ago, a health industry professional, Kristin Michaels, was Chair of the local Hospital Board.

She led a drive to merge Yea Hospital’s admininstration with Seymour Health.

● Kristin Michaels

The community was poorly served with few updates on the proposal.

Thankfully, the proposal stalled.

We should be thankful that local identities such as Gary Pollard and Ian Marshman were elected to a new board, with other new members.

Their proposal to collaborate with a range of other bodies makes great sense.

■ Steels Creek Landcare Group will host a fundraiser for the ‘Buy A Bale’ campaign to assist farmers and let them know that people care.

They will be holding a barbecue lunch at the property of Graham and Angie Lloydfrom 12 Noon on Sunday (Sept. 9).

They are asking for a $25 per person donation with the SCLG covering all costs and 100 per cent of the money being donated.

Thanks, says CWA ■ The Country Women’s Association of Australia is thanking Coles and their customers for their generosity, after raising more than $5.4 million for the CWA’s drought relief efforts.

During August, Coles customers across Australia have contributed more than $2.7 million by making a donation at Coles supermarket checkouts or online.

W’sea wins Final ■ Whittlesea 8.7 (55) defeated Greensborough 6.5 (41) in the Division 1 Reserves Qualifying Final last Saturday (Sept. 1).

The Eagles will now play West PrestonLakeside at the Semi-Final at 11.55am this saturday (Sept. 8) at the Preston City Oval.

Other Div. 1 scores: Seniors. North Heidelberg 12.4 (76) d West Preston-Lakeside 5.14 (44). Bundoora 12.9 (81) d Greensborough 4.9 (33). Reserves. Bundoora 11.8 (74) d Montmorency 6.7 (43). Under 19. Eltham 5.10 (4) d Montmorency 5.7 (37). Greensborough 11.8 (74) d Bundoora 4.6 (30).

Charges dropped ■ Charges against state government loggers, VicForests, alleging unlawful rainforest logging were thrown out of the Magistrates’ Court due to the Environment Department incompletely filling in the charge sheet. “This is monumentally incompetent," said the Wilderness Society.

Top of the tots ■ Lynn Hodge, the early childhood educator from Kindy Patch Lilydale, has been named a finalist in G8 Education’s national Standout Educator Awards program.

Standout Educators will be announced on Early Childhood Educator’s Day (today).

New look for Garden Expo

■ The switch to a new location for the Yea Rotary Garden Expo will provide a number of positive outcomes for visitors, according to organisers.

The Yea Saleyards offer a huge flat allweather car-park which creates easy access to the Expo.

The Rotary crèche, where visitors can leave their purchases for pick-up as they leave, will be located right at the exit to the car-park and will make collecting plants and other goodies convenient. As at previous expos., car parking is free.

Last year, there were more than 2000 visitors to the Expo, and this year, the number is expected to increase.

This reflects the attraction to visitors of the large number and variety of exhibitors and goods on offer.

Major attractions of the Expo are its variety of vendor displays and offerings, convenient location, and the enticing food and coffee on offer.

This is an opportunity for enthusiastic gardeners to see, at the beginning of Spring, new plants and products which will be showcased by numerous and various businesses.

At the Yea Saleyards there is a kiosk where refreshments will be offered by the Yea Wetlands Committee, and there will be a large under-cover eating area with tables and benches.

Various and diverse food stalls will be situated around a food court adjacent to this area.

As at previous expos, the huge variety of seeds, seedlings, bulbs, plants and trees, as well as garden decorations and tools, protective clothing, fertilizers, raised garden beds, sheds and chooks, will provide every visitor with something of interest and hopefully lots of garden ideas.

There will be a number of new vendors, including a rose nursery from Swan Hill, Dinkum Sheds from Alexandra, and G. and M. Rare Bulbs.

Another feature of the Expo is the speakers' program, where experts in a number of garden-related fields will present talks and advice over the two days.

There have been several local critics at the Landmark Harcourts back-page advertisement in The Local Paper which suggests that the old Commonwealth Bank building in Yea would make a suitable secure place for a firearms and ammunition shop. We live in a rural community, where some farmers need firearms and ammo as part of their daily routine. Having secure bank-type security for this type of business makes sense to us.

Yea Water Tigers Cricket Club is holding a ‘Sign Up’ day on Friday next week (Sept. 14) from 4pm-7pm at the Rec. There will be a free barbecue and jumping castle on this family oriented day. Boys and girls, aged 5-and-over, are welcome to register. No experience is necessary. For the adults, drinks will be available at bar prices.

Mobile library launch at Toolangi next week ■ Murrindindi Shire Council representatives will be joined

by Jaclyn Symes, Victorian MLC for Northern Victoria, on Monday (Sept. 10), at an official ceremony to mark the return of the Mobile Library and Customer Service van.

Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay said everyone is invited to come along to the van’s official launch in Toolangi to help celebrate this important service.

“The Mobile Library and Customer Service van is a gathering point for small communities and schools with limited or no easy access to services and facilities,” Cr McAulay said.

“It enables and encourages lifelong learning, and its rejuvenation is a symbol of community engagement.

“None of this would be possible without the support of the Victorian Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.

“Following the refurbishment, the van’s route has been expanded to include three new stops – Glenburn, Toolangi and Highlands.

“This is in addition to the van’s traditional stops at Strath Creek, Flowerdale, Marysville, Buxton and Eildon.

● A ‘depot’ for the Granite News at Caveat ■ There are some great hyper-local newsletters in the region: Granite News in the Highlands, north of Yea; Mountain Monthly at Kinglake; Town Crier at Whittlesea; the Marysville Triangle newsletter; Eyes on Eildon; and the Flowerdale Flyer to name a few.

Sadly, the Redgate News at Alexandra disappeared last Christmas, and now the publishers of the Glenburn Gazette are calling it a day.

The Gazette started after the 2009 fires, and 11 issues a year have been produced.

Changing personal circumstances of the Committee mean that the free, volunteerrun newsletter cannot continue at this stage.

Pallet workshop ■ The Whittlesea Community House will be hosting a handson free workshop to upcycle pallets into furniture. mThe workshop will be held from 10am 2pm on Saturday (Sept. 8) at the Whittlesea Community House.

Bookings are essential: 9716 3361 or wchi@whittleseach. com.au

■ The countryside around Dairy Creek Rd, Yea/Homewood, is looking amazing.

■ ‘Seymour Is’ is an impressive video promoting that area. It includes appearances by dozens of locals.

■ UGFM community radio station is moving its Kinglake studios to St Peter’s Anglican Church.

Editor Ash Long first started newspaper work in 1969. He began writing for local newspapers in 1973. Over those 45 years he has kept extensive diaries and local photo files.

From Our Files - 30 Years Ago September 1988

$15,000 spent

■ The sum of $15,000 was spent on Goulburn River works, including removal of a bridge that didn’t exist, Yea Shire Engineer Stan Kisler told the Council meeting, 30 years ago.

The Ministry of Water Resources provided the funds, with one-sixth contributed by local Molesworth land owner Ian Perry.

“Did they find a bridge?” asked Cr David Lawson. “No,” replied Mr Kisler.

About husbands ■ Yea Presbyterian Minister, the Rev. Stefan Slucki, caused controversy when he argued that husbands had the final responsibility to take decisions.

“I do not deny that women can exercise their undoubted gifts and talents, but if the family is to run smoothly, they must do so in consultation with their husbands,” Mr Slucki said.

Legal firm name ■ The legal firm of Nicholson Williams Tehan & Co changed its name to Williams, Hunt, Tehan & Co. The firm was established in 1971 by Marie Tehan, with David Nicholson movintg to london.

ABC-TV in Yea ■ An ABC Television translator station in Yea was timed to be installed in mid-1989, Tr Peter Williams had been told in correspondence from the national broadcaster.

A translator for GMV-6 Shepparton had been installed at the Yea water tower.

Organ donation ■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish says that an elected Liberal Government will implement key policies to increase organ donation rates and help change the lives of more Victorians.

"While Victorians are very generous in donating their organs, only 20 per cent of Victorians are actually registered to be organ donors. This is the lowest rate of any state in Australia," Ms McLeish said.

Driver's licence applications and renewals will ask Victorians to register as an organ donor.

Editor’s Diary

MP takes the call ■ Benalla MLA Pat McNamara was being sought by the Yea newspaper for urgent comment about the Yea Helipad.

We found him as a guest at the Seymour Races. He was pleased to take the call: “Don’t worry Ash, they put my name across the PA. It’s election time. Ring every 10 minutes if you like.”

K’lake warning

● Rowland Branch was at the Yea Railway Market on Saturday as part of a trailer-of-wood fundraiser for the Yea Bowls Club. Rowland is excited for the club’s prospects for the 2018-19 season, with two Saturday pennant teams, and a new green.

1948 Queen Carnival puzzle

■ Kinglake couple J. and D.M. Bernard said that an application for a mining development lease on their residential property at Kinglake was causing “increasing concern”.

The Mt Slide Rd couple told Yea Council that they had not heard any news from the State or Federal Governments to alleviate their concerns.

Surgery OK ■ Dr Philip Basser was given permission

by Yea Council in 1988 to establish a twosurgery clinic at 96 High St, Yea. The Council was told that two additional doctors, Kaye Atkinson and Morton Rawlin, were to join the practice in 1988.

Vote against ■ Cr Kim Chadband, noted in a 1988 issue to have been a hotel worker for many years, voted against a proposal for Glenburn Hotel to be allowed to open their bottle shop between 7am-12 Noon Sundays

■ Kinglake Masonic Lodge won permission to build a house on its 0.162-hectare block on Main Rd, Kinglake, near the sawmill. The land was between the mill and the State Emergency Service unit headquarters.

The technology has already been rolled out in the Yarra Valley and is expected to be completed in Murrindindi by 2019 and Mansfield by 2023.

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.

Millions for bushfire anniversary ■ The State Government will give communities a voice to commemorate the tenyear anniversary of the 2009 Victorian bushfires in their own way, with funding to be provided for anniversary activities.

The catastrophic 2009 bushfires devastated the state, with 173 people losing their lives in the tragedy.

Many more were injured and lost their homes, with the memories of the events still impacting communities to this day.

The StateGovernment this week announced $4.4 million in funding to support anniversary activities in communities affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires.

The funding will support a state memorial service and a grants program for local community commemoration and creative arts projects.

A range of mental health and psychological services and supports throughout the commemoration period will also be provided.

As part of the commemorations, bushfire-affected communities will be able to collaborate and support each other in remembering the victims of the disaster.

It will also be an opportunity acknowledge the first responders who bravely served their community during the catastrophe.

Linda Dessau, Governor of Victoria, has been appointed as the Patron for the state’s commemorations of the anniversary.

As Patron, the Governor will visit bushfire affected communities to hear about their challenges and help celebrate their achievements in recovery.

An advisory panel, chaired by former Premier John Brumby and including former Deputy Premier and Minister for Police and Emergency Services Pat McNamara, Susan Pascoe and Ben Hubbard has been created.

The panel will provide advice to the Government on anniversary planning to ensure the needs of impacted communities, as well as the broader Victorian public, are met.

Visit vic.gov.au/2009-bushfires for more information about the 10-year anniversary including grants programs, and details of the State Memorial Service.

“These catastrophic events still impact on many of our communities today and it is important we allow those communities to commemorate this anniversary in their own way,” said James Merlino, Minister for Emergency Services.

“Remembering these tragic events is important so we can honour those who died, those who lost their homes and were displaced, and the people who prevented further loss and destruction.”

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

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

Out and About

Bruce is in town

Beaches WeHo

■ Bruce Rowland, known for his musical soundtrack The Man From Snowy River, is in West Hollywood for meetings.

The Man from Snowy River is the original motion picture soundtrack from the 1982 film.

Bruce Rowland composed the music for the film, and also conducted the orchestra during the recording of the album. Later, Bruce Rowland composed a Special Olympics version of the Main Title theme for the 2000 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.

The Main Title and Jessica's Theme , from the film's soundtrack were reprised as part of the cast album soundtrack of the 2002 musical The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular.

■ Every day, 2pm to 7pm. "The Pregame Hours" are a long block of time for stellar deals, like $5 frozen cocktails, $5 well drinks and a Boilermaker (shot and a beer pairing) at just $10. Then, Happy Hour starts again with their Double Trouble daily specials from 10pm to 12am, when all double drinks are priced as singles.

Places To Go

Hotel Dining Guide ■ It's hard to go wrong when dining at one of the many chic hotels in town. If you're into upscale vintage, the Tower Bar restaurant at the Sunset Tower Hotel, an Art Deco gem established in 1929 is well worth a visit.

The menu features classics like chicken potpie and the Baked Alaska dessert is truly divine.

Another irresistible dessert plates up at Palihouse. A slice of frozen rhubarb custard pie is a refreshing choice when it's scorching outside.

At the Standard Hotel's Alma restaurant, chef Ari Taymor taps coastal influences and often uses ingredients sourced from local farmers. Light bites include a seaweed and tofu beignet.

Fine dining in WeHo ■ See how Los Angeles native and one of America's most acclaimed chefs, Suzanne Goin, interprets and transforms seasonal golden-state bounty, at the wildly popular Lucques. If Goin's resume doesn't impress you, her short ribs surely will.

Also well worth a visit is Petrossian, an elegant French café and caviar specialist, (just a few steps outside WeHo). Come in for a sample or attend a "caviar 101" dinner, complete with drinks and dessert, led by general manager Christopher Klapp.

■ Another French charmer: the intimate Le Petit Bistro. Stop in for onion soup with Gruyère cheese and toast, and more classic fare. Old-school Italian is on order at Dan Tana's, which serves dinner until 1am. Monday-Saturday and until 12.30am. Sunday.

Waiters will toss your Caesar salad tableside and you never know you might see talent from the nearby Troubadour club, pre or post-show.

■ Craving some American favourites? How about lamb chops, sesame-crusted salmon or a vegan cheeseburger at Craig's?

The upscale, scenery spot attracts A-list mover and shakers. For seafood (scallop gnocchi sounds intriguing), sushi, a nightclub vibe and a magnificent rooftop view, head to Catch LA.

● Pictured at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood for their music celebration is Music ManBruce Rowland with the Ramada’sAlan Johnson.

Enjoy a cocktail

Casual dining options ■ LA is all about relaxed style, so it's no surprise to find so many casual yet cool restaurants on the dining scene.

Lots of locals recommend Tortilla Republic, Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine, Mel's Drive-In, Taste on Melrose, Fresh Corn Grill and Barney's Beanery, which has been serving celebs, artists, writers and regular folks since the 1920s.

Memorabilia graces the walls and tables; Marilyn Monroe reportedly was a fan of the chili.

For welcoming happy hours with wonderful food, try La Boheme, St. Felix, or Pearl's Rooftop, which offers oyster specials on Tuesdays and lobster fest on Wednesdays. St Felix and Pearl's are open late.

You can also taste California's legendary produce when you stop by the Helen Albert Certified Farmers' Market. It takes place every Monday from 9 am to 2pm including most holidays, at Plummer Park's north parking lot.

Late night bites ■ Also catering to late-night appetites: State Social House is a gastro pub with a cigar lounge and piano bar. Open until 2 a.m. seven nights a week, the restaurant serves food until 11 p.m. on weeknights and around midnight on weekends. Who doesn't love white trash nachos, Philly cheese-steak sandwiches and spaghetti pomodoro? Oh, and don't forget Taco Tuesdays.

Marix Tex Mex Every day, 3pm to 7pm. Happy Hour is bustling at West Hollywood's favorite home for Tex-Mex cuisine. Monday equals Margaritas for only $5 and all week you'll find specials on items like their house guacamole, the short rib sliders, and their excellent tacos.

Connie & Ted's Monday to Friday, 4pm to 7pm. Oysters are $10 for a halfdozen. Craft beers are just five dollars. And, Ted's famous Margaritas are shaken and served for a mere $7. Head in, relax and feel transported to the Atlantic seaboard's weathered fishing shacks and rocky shores.

Barney's Beanery Monday to Friday, 4pm to 7pm. They don't make 'em like they used to. Good thing Barney's is still open, serving a delightfully dive-y, authentic atmosphere since 1920. This original Route 66 stop is a legend and always worth a visit. However, the Happy Hour makes the affordable drink offerings even more appealing. There are half-priced appetizers and discounts on well drinks.

The Hudson Daily, 4pm to 7pm. Huddy Hour means $4 drinks (some of the most affordable in the city), $6 craft cocktails and $4 tallboy cans of PBR. Note: CBS proclaimed that Hudson has "the best mac and cheese in Los Angeles."

Bar 20 at Grafton 4.20pm to 7.20pm. Stop by in the late afternoons and early evenings to this iconic hotel property. They showcase live acoustic music sets daily and you'll get deals off their new Lite Bites menu, from Avocado Toast to Lobster Bruschetta.

Pearl's Rooftop Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 7pm, starting at 4pm on Fridays. Coquettish, devious-yet-demure, this upscale darling of the Sunset Strip is a fabulous place for a stiff drink beneath the stars. It's one of the city's best rooftops, and during Happy Hour, the well drinks are half-off, and you can find further deals on crisp, house wines ($7) and an array of small plates.

GavinWood

From my Suite at the Ramada Plaza Complex on Santa Monica Blvd If you need a burger fix, no worries. Stop by Irv's Burgers, Astro Burger, Hamburger Mary's, Hugo's Restaurant, Pono Burger or Burger Lounge. Keep an eye on Wahlburgers - when it opens, it will likely be packed.

Sweet Eats in WeHo ■ The Urth Caffé has an impressive dessert selection. Salt & Straw, Rori's Artisanal Creamery, Rawberri and Yogurt Stop also will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Or check out the concoctions at Cake and Art (a design shop and bakery where you can arrange a class to learn the craft of making erotic cupcakes) or Sugar Mama's Gourmet Cupcakes, which is a delivery business that's a huge hit with WeHo insiders.

Hey, a little decadence never hurt anyone.

www.gavinwood.us

The Den on Sunset Every week day, 5pm to 7pm. Dine in at the den for $5 well drinks and $2 off a host of cocktails and menu items. We also suggest sitting down here on Sunday, because Bottomless Mimosas are back at brunch.

Harlowe 5pm to 11pm daily. This Prohibition-styled joint brings the heat at Happy Hour. Enjoy a Hummus Trio or the Caesar salad for only $7, as well as Roasted Vegetables for only $5, with $8 Fountain cocktails and $6 glasses of wine.

Chances are that if you're hanging out in West Hollywood, you might see celebrities. Some of those celebrities include culinary stars many of who find creative inspiration from the spectacular offerings of the California harvest.

Have a chat with Joanna

■ If you are considering a move to Los Angeles or just coming over for a holiday then I have got a special deal for you.

We would love to see you at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, 8585 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood.

Local rail would serve better than loop

■ There are just 80 days to the Victorian State Election on Saturday, November 24.

Between now and then, Victoria is going to hear plenty of big ideas ... some of which we may never see fulfilled in our own life times.

Premier Dan Andrews hit the headlines last week with big plans to start work on a suburban rail loop that will extend from Cheltenham to Waverley, continuing from Box Hill to Heidelberg, then Bundoora and Reservoir, onto Tullamarine Airport and the west.

The slick trick behind this election promise is that the project will not be opened until 30+ years’ time.

Dan Andrews will be aged 93 when the big Loop opens.

Little of it would be in the budget of his next government, if he wins office. It really is cynical smoke-and-mirrors stuff.

■ Melbourne Opera will present the Australian premiere of Gioachino Rossini’s dramatic masterpiece Otello at 7:30pm on October 17, 24 and 27, and 2pm 20 October at the Athenaeum Theatre, Melbourne This follows the critical and public success of Tristan and Isolde and Der Rosenkavalier.

Highly lauded film director Bruce Beresford will direct Melbourne Opera's Australian premiere of Otello.

Have a Gay Time

● Retired railway man Lance Adams at the Cheviot Tunnel, east of Yea. ■ The hoopla might be fine for some selected marginal electorates, but if public transport is be the central plank of election promises, wouldn’t it be smart to include outer-Melbourne areas in the vision?

Much has been made of last month’s opening of the Mernda rail extension from South Morang.

But shouldn’t there be announcements about further extensions being made to Whittlesea, for example?

This would look to the future in serving people in a corridor that includes Kinglake, Flowerdale and Yea. One retired locomotive driver, Lance Adams, was there when the last train ran to Whittlesea in November 1959.

Lance was a 15-year-old lad, and I recorded the event on film. He also paid a number

Lance takes up the story: “The service was run by a shuttle train in the end, utilising a Diesel Electric Rail Motor known as a DERM, running up and down to Thomastown a number of times each day.

“The DERM on the last day was 61RM, which has been rebuilt and survives in operational condition to this day, minus the headlight, which I have here in Yea, fully restored in 1929 condition as built.

“The DERM's were changed over on a weekly basis with the main Melbourne depot by running a through train to Whittlesea via the Inner Circle through North Carlton.

“The line has reached Mernda, after a number of stations, Lalor, Epping, South Morang, and now Mernda have all been the termini.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: UNSANE: Cast: Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Amy Irving, Sarah Stiles, Matt Damon.

Genre: Horror/Thriller.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 98 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: A young woman who has had to move to due to being tormented by a stalker, is involuntarily committed to a mental institution, where she is confronted by her greatest fear - but is it real or a product of her delusion?

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "phoned-it-in", literally, as it was filmed entirely with an iPhone-7-Plus Camera in 10 days, and from the outset, creates an uneasy and unnatural feel.

The iPhone-7-Plus approach and 1.33/4.3 (square) academy screen ratio adds a heightened element of voyeuristic "fly-on-the-wall" suspense in this "B-Grade" schlockshock throwback to "The Twilight Zone," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," and most notably, the Mark Robson and Val Lewton classic 1946 horror-thriller "Bedlam," Samuel Fuller's 1963 cult classic "Shock Corridor" and to an extent Alfred Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man" (1956), among others.

While issues such as Social Media, Stalking and Mental Health are well apparent, the film is held together with a strong, convincing and compelling performance by Claire Foy (complete with U.S. accent) as everything goes wildly an unrealistically out of control, along with a fine supporting cast including Joshua Leonard and Amy Irving (Carrie).

Even though being thrown into a mental asylum against your will already adds an element of fear in its self, one can only imagine what the outcome may have been if Alfred Hitchcock or Brian De Palma was at the helm, but nonetheless, this is something that would have been a very effective and memorable experience as the second-feature at the Drive-In Theatre in the 1960s and '70s, which many were, and like them, not too easily forgotten.

FILM: KODACHROME: Genre: Drama.

Cast: Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis, Elizabeth Olsen, Bruce Greenwood.

Year: 2017.

Rating: PG. Length: 105 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Review: Family drama of an estranged father and son who take a road trip to Kansas in order to develop photographs at Kodak's last Kodachrome lab before it closes its doors forever.

Melancholic story is a tough journey as much for the audience as it is for the estranged father and son dynamic, but the biting, cynical and sometimes mean bitterness of the relationship between the two grips and succeeds along the journey due to compelling and well balanced performances by a granite faced and weather beaten Ed Harris as the legendary photographer father, and in a worthy dramatic turn, Jason Sudeikis as the unforgiving son.

"Avengers" and "Wind River" star Elizabeth Olsen gives an equally strong and convincing performance as the nurse in father Ed Harris' life, giving the journey a fighting balance between the bickering father and son, as well as Bruce Greenwood as the equally estranged brother and uncle.

The harshness of the story and relationship in "Kodachrome" shadows such previous grounded efforts as "I Never Sang For My Father" (1970) with Gene Hackman, "The Judge" (2014) with Robert Duvall and Robert Downey, Jr. "Fences" (2016) with Denzel Washington, to an extent Robert Redford's "Ordinary People" (1980), and most notably "Memories of Me" (1988) with Billy Crystal and Alan King, to name a few, as far removed from such more family friendly fare as "Field of Dreams" (1989), "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993) and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989), as you can get.

Though a conventional, by-the-book and even predictable bonding tale, the beating heart of this road-trip is as much about the demise of the analogue film process making way for digital, and legendary all-too-unknown photographers that startled generations with haunting and unforgettable images, and it is at this poignant and parallel core where "Kodachrome," shot on 35mm film, and the analogy of past meets present succeeds, but doesn't sore.

FILM: GRINGO: Genre: Action/Crime/Comedy.

Cast: Joel Edgerton, David Oyelowo, Charlize Theron, Thandie Newton, Amanda Seyfried.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 111 Minutes.

Stars: ** Review: A mild-mannered pharmaceutical company businessman goes to Mexico with his crooked company bosses unknowingly in relation to discontinuing product to a drug cartel that could harm a potential merger, among other underhanded things, and soon everything goes pear-shaped and he finds himself crossing the line from law-abiding citizen to wanted criminal and kidnap victim.

The publicity blurb sates: "An exhilarating mix of dark comedy, white-knuckle action and dramatic intrigue" .... well, as far as "white knuckle action and dramatic intrigue" went for me was trying not to fall asleep.

Great cast amber through this pedestrian romp all too intermittently struggling to reach far too few mildly amusing moments, an all too plodding and seemingly predictable affair that relies on the stellar cast to guide the proceedings to any height of intelligence or entertainment value, instead dragging us through the muddy proceedings and failing and falling face down along the way.

Joel Edgerton as the crooked company head is strained and uninspiring, a potty mouthed Charlize Theron as company executive and partner in crime fares marginally better, and Amanda Seyfried and her drug smuggling boyfriend, Harry Treadway, only confuse issues and weigh down the muddled plot even more.

However, among the bunch narcissistic sociopaths there is a glimpse of radiance in this muddled set of affairs, and that is "Selma" (2014) and "A United Kingdom" (2016) star David Oyelowo as the unsuspecting ill-fated eponymous hero, he gives it his best shot and shines, and along the way, proves himself a delightful comedic talent.

Co-produced by Charlize Theron and first time feature director Nash Edgerton, among others, this disappointingly underpowered pot-boiler would have fared much better in the hands of Guy Ritchie or Danny Boyle. A MISFIRE! If it's Mexican drug cartel comedy you are after, revisit "We're The Millers" (2013 with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis, or for sheer nail-biting tension, the powerhouse "Sicario" (2015) with Emily Blunt. A misfire!

Rourke’s Reviews You Were Never Really Here ■ (MA). 91 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas September 6.

Haunting and brutal, this longawaited return to the screen for director Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher - 1999, Movern Callar - 2002) proves to be as challenging as her early work, and is substantially better than her last effort, the hugely disappointing We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011).

Joaquin Phoenix delivers yet another astonishing performance as Joe, a reclusive, supremely troubled war veteran who channels his unbridled rage towards those who harm others, in particular criminals who abduct and abuse young girls.

When rising New York senator Albert Votto (Alex Manette) hires Joe to locate his missing teenage daughter Nina (Ekaterina Samsonov), he suddenly finds himself under attack from persons unknown, a situation that further fractures his state of mind.

Ramsay adapts Jonathan Ames' 2013, 97 page novella with precise skill (and apparently takes the film past the author's official ending), and instead of presenting Joe's journey as a traditional narrative, moulds it as a more elliptical experience, with unsettling results.

While violent, Ramsay employs an oppressive atmosphere through brilliant cinematography and sound design to achieve maximum impact, rather than being overtly graphic and gory.

There are definitely similarities to Martin Scorsese's classic Taxi Driver, but Ramsay and Phoenix ensure that You Were Never Really Here (which won awards for Best Actor and Screenplay at last year's Cannes Film Festival) has an identity all its own.

RATING - ****½

Loveless ■ (M). 127 minutes.Available now on DVD. The film that should have won Best Foreign Film at this year's Academy Awards, this pungent, dour drama is a truly haunting exercise, expertly crafted by Russian film-maker Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return, Leviathan), who is at the top of his game.

The story centres on Boris (Aleksey Rozin) and Zhenya (Maryana Spivak), who are currently going through a bitter divorce.

Selfishly arguing over who will be saddled with their twelve yearold son Alyosha (Matvey Novikov), the two don't realise that the reclusive boy is listening to every word, and it isn't until two days have passed that they actually realise he is missing.

A search for Alyosha begins, but the state police offer no hope to the parents, who have to rely on an independent group to try and locate their missing child.

Loveless brilliantly evokes a compelling, immersive atmosphere, where a country's oppres-

sive rule is destroying the individual expression of the next generation, who either adapt to the status quo or disappear. Gorgeously photographed, this is both challenging and heartbreaking, and is easily one of the best films for 2018. It's a pity this exceptional film isn't getting a blu-ray release.

RATING - ****½

Super Troopers 2 ■ (MA). 99 minutes. Available now on Blu-ray and DVD. Episodic to a fault, this long-gestating sequel to the 2001 cult hit finally arrives (after a successful crowdfunding campaign), and although wildly hit-and-miss, it does deliver some good-natured, laughout-loud moments. Those wacky Vermont State Troopers are back, but are no wiser, now working various odd-jobs after being relieved from law enforcement duties due to an incident involving actor Fred Savage. When Governor Jessman (Lynda Carter) is informed that part of the US-Canadian border has been incorrectly drawn, and a small town and its surroundings actually belong to North America, the former officers are given the chance to redeem themselves by setting up a station there, making sure the locals follow the rules of good ol' U.S. of A. Suffice to say, nothing goes smoothly with these guys on the scene. The sequel certainly follows the blueprint of the original, and while the Broken Lizard troupe obviously want fans to be comfortable with the characters' return, they use that familiar framework to go in any number of directions, enough of which work, while other set-pieces don't quite hit the mark. Rob Lowe has a grand time as the wayward mayor, and Brian Cox is once more a tower of strength as the squad's frustrated captain. It's a shame that the joke which concludes the film (and has been a running gag throughout) is probably the weakest, unfortunately bringing an otherwise good time to a rather limp finish.

RATING - ***

The Devil And Father Amorth ■ (M). 69 minutes. Now streaming on Netflix.

William Friedkin returns to devil territory with this laughable documentary, where he was given permission to film an actual exorcism near Rome in 2016, carried out by the locally renowned Father Amorth. Even at 69 minutes this feels padded, because Friedkin only superficially explores the Italian Catholic culture, their beliefs versus scientific examination, and even Amorth himself. Cheesy, dramatic music doesn't help, and Friedkin's narration borders on parody. Co-written by noted BBC film critic Mark Kermode, whose notorious fanboy love of The Exorcist seems to have affected the quality of his writing.

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.

■ Sunset Boulevard is on my list of 10 favourite films. In 1950 Nancy Olson was only 22 when she was cast in the role of ‘Betty Schaefer’ by Paramount Studios.

Nancy received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film playing opposite William Holden and Gloria Swanson.

Nancy was born in Milwaukee in 1928, educated at the University of Wisconsin and later moved to California.

She was seen by a talent agent in a stage production and signed to a seven-year contract

by Paramount Studios.

After several small roles, Nancy landed the "role of a lifetime" in Sunset Boulevard.

I did speak to Nancy Olson several years ago and she told me that whilst they were filming Sunset Boulevard, William Holden was having marital problems, he was not getting good roles and his career was a bit shaky.

The character of ‘Joe Gillis’ could not have come at a better time in his career and he was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award.

Nancy went on to make three more films with William Holden. During her film career she was cast opposite some of Hollywood's famous older leading men.

Her co-stars included, Randolph Scott, John Wayne and Fred MacMurray.

Nancy was not always happy with the Hollywood casting decisions and was quoted as say-

ing - I'll tell you a funny story. Cecil B. DeMille I'm laughing when I'm saying this - considered me to play Delilah in Samson and Delilah, and thank God he made the right choice and he put Hedy Lamarr in that role.

She apparently hated being in the film Big Jim McLain with John Wayne.

Nancy's first husband Alan Jay Lerner wrote lyrics for the musicals Brigadoon, Camelot and Gigi.

In 1956 Alan dedicated his stage production of My Fair Lady to her.

Nancy's films include Submarine Command, Pollyanna, The Absent Minded Professor and Son of Flubber.

Nancy told me she had attended several open-

ing nights for various productions of the stage musical Sunset Boulevard.

She mentioned that director Billy Wilder described the show as "a permanent long shot of my movie."

In 1962, Nancy married Alan Livingston who was Chairman of the Board at Capitol Records and signed Frank Sinatra in the early 1950s when nobody wanted him.

Nancy has two girls from her marriage to Alan Jay Lerner and a son from her marriage to Alan Livingston.

She has performed in stage plays on Broadway such as The Tunnel of Love, Send Me No Flowers and Mary, Mary.

Nancy was a guest star in many television series such as The Big Valley, Barnaby Jones and Gunsmoke.

But I will always remember Nancy Olson as the beautiful ‘Betty Schaefer’ in Sunset Boulevard.

Country Crossroads

Visiting Pewsey Vale: hell, someone has to do it

By Rob Foenander info@countrycrossroads com.au

Big O Experience

■ Roy & The 60s experience is a new musical venture. The band members transport their audiences back to an era when groups and artists like The Beatles, Elvis, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, etc and of course the late great Roy Orbison were releasing the songs we now call The Classics.

Melbourne singer Martin Penrose will play the Big O role and take the audience down memory lane one more time revisiting some of the greatest R& R songs ever recorded. Noble Park RSL Sat. (Sept. 8) commencing 7.30pm. Limited Tickets $10 at the club. Phone: 9548 3750..

Dalton Gang win

■ Melbourne band The Dalton Gang have won the 15th annual Les Keats Memorial Award for the "Most Popular Band" as voted by the members of the Country Music Guild of Australasia. Bass player and band member Helen Stewart also tied for the best vocalist prize for 2017/18 with Terry Dean.

Rock Venus

■ The songs of Linda Ronstadt will come alive once again in the Rock Venus show thanks to accomplished singer and well known actress Jane Clifton.

Jane will perform a host of the classics Ronstadt sang that won her 11 Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, nominated for both a Tony and a Golden Globe and inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. Memo Music Hall St Kilda Sun. Oct. 28 , 2pm Tickets at the venue.

- Rob Foenander

■ I'm standing on one of the highest hills overlooking South Australia's Barossa Valley, it's cold and the wind is what I'd call quite fierce, certainly strong enough to swiftly slam the car door behind me as I get out.

Yet I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial.

I can see quite close up one of the valley's most renowned vineyards and in my hand is a glass of the dry white produced from its bounty - the Pewsey Vale 2012 The Contours Riesling.

To taste a wine right within the terroir it was produced is a rare pleasure, and I certainly hope that vigneron Robert Hill-Smith and his team make the experience available - at a price of course - to genuine winelovers who visit the Barossa.

To stand on that hill, glass in hand, and contemplate the vines is one of life's real pleasures.

It's quite different up here - in what is termed the Eden Valley - to being on the Barossa floor, quite rightly recognised for its rich, fullbodied dry reds made from aged vines of shiraz and grenache.

This is clearly riesling country, something brought home a few years ago when Robert Hill-Smith made the wise decision to pursue no other variety on a vineyard which had been established in 1847.

Loved and loving Dad of Jane and Kate.

Loving friend of all Rhonda's family.

The Annual meeting of the East Central District Rifle Association Inc on Saturday September 1 returned the existing executive to lead the club through 2018 2019.

The unanimous vote was for Robert Chaffe as president, Graeme Kerr as Secretary, Rosco Davis as Treasurer and Marty Kelly as Captain for the 2018 2019 shooting year.

The well attended meeting confirmed the great job this executive did last year. President ( 2017 - 2018) Robert Chaffe opened meeting with a brief report that summarised the year as a very successful one at al levels. The ECDRA was voted the Sports Club of the year by the Mansfield Rotary Club, David Wallace won the Victorian B Grade Queens in F standard along with the 2018 Syme and the Grand aggregate, Marty Kelly is placed no 2 in Australia in the F T/R class, the team won the 2017 McAuliffe Shield and the 2017 Chas Hays Long Range pennant, shooting has been conducted throughout the year with many members choosing to shoot on Wednesday as the shooting calendar becomes more crowded on the Saturday for those shooting away from home and the range is now fully equiped with electronic targets. Whew, what a year. Yes every one has done what they can too help so all the little jobs got done.

Brian’s regular early arrival so that the target are set up is just one example of how the ECDRA is a club with a great team of members. The smiles on the faces of the members who could make the meeting and the comments on the apologies of those who could not attend was evidence enough to say this is a fun club to be part of. At the end of the annual meeting a general meeting discussed future directions and priorities including the primary importance of ensuring the easiest of access for all abilities to the facilities as well as the constant attention to safety. 2018 2019 looks to be a very exciting year. The funds from the old Euroa Rifle Club held on behalf of the ECDRA have ensured that the ECDRA has a sound financial base to work from. Secretary Graeme Kerr also reminded the members that he and president Rob have been working with the Victorian Rifle association to help improve the sport for all members and develop the State headquarters at the wellsford range, Bendigo After the meetings a BBQ lunch finished the morning and the afternoon was spent with some practice at 600 yards.

Clearly the highlight of the practice session was Terry Gee’s 60.7 just 0.3 off a perfect score. The hard part is that the three shots not exactly in the centre were only millimetres outside the scoring line and with a group of only 94.3 x 64.8 mm. shooting like this was stuff that dreams were made of only a few short years ago, now Terry says he has to improve if he intends to win in major competition. The F Open class is a very demanding class with no room for error. The full results from Saturdays Shoot were: F-Std Geoff James 52.4,54.1=106.5, FOpen 1 Terrence Gee 53, 56.3, 60.7=169.10, 2 Nea Hambridge 56.2, 55.1, 53.2 = 164.5, 3 Graeme Kerr 45.1, F-TR 1 Marty Kelly 47, 48.1,57.3 152.4, 2 David Wallace 54.3, 55.4 =109.7. On Wednesday the club members who were available conducted some field trials of a new scoring package for the standard 303 target on the electronic target. A bit of a fiddle but Hex Systems now have the field data they need to refine a new package for their world class system. The results shooting from 500 yards were: T-Rifle 1 Philip Betts 50.7 49.5 = 99.12 2 Peter Daldy 15.3, 49.5, 49.4= 113.12 FStd - A 1 Terrence Gee 53.3, 57.4, 58 = 168.7 2 Philip Betts 58. F-Std - B 1 Richard Godden 53.3, 57.4, 51.2 =164.9 F-Open - A 1 Terrence Gee 55.1, 2 and Graeme Kerr 54. The score that stands out is Phil Betts 50.7 again just 0.3 points off a perfect score and again a score that was not seen very often 10 years ago at club level. Next Saturday shooting will focus on the Wodonga Prize shoot shot over 900 yards so shooters planning to shoot at Violet Town please check what arrangements have been made for shooting on Wednesday and Saturday. Please contact secretary Graeme for details. Shooters are also reminded that the ECDRA is on Facebook under ECDRA thanks to Web master David and this is another way to contact the club and to see what currently is happening. A further reminder that the annual classic 303 shoot is scheduled for September 22, this is a very special day as the old 303s so familiar to our fathers are dusted off and brought to life again. Andrew Braden has planned a very challenging shoot, one that tests marksmanship as it was in the early 1950’s. Put it in you calendar and come along for a fun day.

Its been such a privilege to have you as my Dad. I'm going to miss you so much.

Thank you for everything Dad. I'll love you always.

Lots of love Jane xxx My beautiful, clever, Grumpy Dad, I love you and I need you and I'm not ready to learn how to live without you. You spent your whole life protecting the people of this town. You raised Jane and me from when we were 12 and 9 years old, two little girls, and you learned to cook, and wash clothes and talk to teachers and hold our babies. It was always just the 3 of us and that's all we ever needed.

I'm completely devastated and furious that you have died. You did everything right, all the time.

We will love you forever, you were the best man in the universe and I'm so, so proud of you.

Thank you for being my Dad and Ella and Holly's Pa. I'll never stop missing you. I still need you.

Kate, Ella and Holly.

Funeral details to be announced.

Local History

Opening of the Homewood Hall ■ The opening of the Homewood Hall was reported in the Yea newspaper on January 17, 1907: For some years the residents of Home wood and surrounding district have realised the necessity of a hall for religious, political, and social purposes, and recently an effort was made to carry it into effect.

A few local enthusiasts threw some energy into the matter, and, as a result, a very tine hall, 40ft x 22ft has been built at a cost of £111, but it is understood this amount is considerably below the actual cost to the contractor.

The hall is built of hardwood and lined throughnot with soft wood, and has every convenience, such as stage, &c.. to make it thoroughly up to date.

It is a particularly good sounding hall. and should prove a great boon to the residents of Homewood.

To open the hall a first-class concert was arranged by Mrs J. D. Hamilton, and she certainly deserves great credit for the array of talent she presented for Homewood's first concert, and if the standard is to be maintained, the Homewood concerts must become popular, and the existing debt should be readily liquidated.

The hall was very tastefully decorated for the occasion.

Prior to commencing the concert programme, Mr J. D. Hamilton. in declaring the hall open, said that for some time past the residents of Homewood have felt the necessity of having some building which they could use for religious, political, and social purposes.

Several meetings were held, and it was decided to build a small hall for that purpose.

A fund was started, which was subscribed to very generously. Mr Gill making the handsome donation of the site on which the building is erected They were also indebted to Messrs Leckie, Harry Smith, Alex.

Drysdale, and Alex. Gill, hon. sec., who have worked msost energetically.

There is still a debt on the buildling, to help pay off portion of which, they were holding the concert and dance to-night, and as there was a long programme to be gone through, he would not detain them any longer, but rmust thank those ladies and gentlemen who have so kindly offered their services for the concert, the ladies who have provided the supper, and the audience, many of whom have come from a distance.

The concert opened with an overture on the piano in tinished style by Mrs J. D. Hamilton. Miss Clare McLeish followed with a song. which was pleasingly suing, hud wsas succeeded by Mr Tassiker in The Yeoman's Wedding, which he gave with the nccessary swing and go the song requires.

An orchestrated selection by the orchestra under Mr Stainsby, was greatly appreciated, after which Master Carew instantly captivated the hearts of the audience by the capable and feeling manner in which he tendered the favourite old song, The Midshipmite.

The Spanish Gipsy by Miss F. Olney won rounds of applause.

Mr Stainsby gave a cornet solo, Annie Laurie, which he played in his usual masterly style.

Miss Tyson appealed to the audience with her capable rendering of The Old Countree, as did also Miss C. McLeish and Mr Wallace with the vocal duet, Tell Her I Love Her So. A musical treat was the unexpected appearance of Miss Beatrice Kelly, an artist of great merit, who rended the gem If All the Stars were Mine, with such feeling that she fairly brought down the house, and had to give Woman's Way is Best as an encore, which also met with unanimous ap proval.

Mr Harris concluded the first part of the programme with the comic song, Advts., and gave an encore which caused a contiunuous ripple of laughter.

The second part was opened, after ten minutes' interval, by Master Carew, who feelingly sang The Gift.

The Silver Ring by Miss Olney was capably rendered, as was also Big Ben by Mr Tassiker.

Mr Guest was at home in his song, True till the Last, and Miss Kelly again delighted the audience by the feeling and finished style in which she rendered the evergreen favorite, Daddy.

Mr Harris wound up a splendid programme with a parody on Trinity Church.

A vote of thanks to Mr J. D. Hamilton, on behalf of the residents of Homewood, for the generous donation of £10 to the building fund, and the enthusiastic way he worked to make the concert, etc., the suc ess it certainly was, was carried by acclamation.

A ball wound up the evening, and with a good floor and music, the large number of dancers spent a most enjoyable time.

At 12 o'clock a very nice supper was served in a maruque adjoining the hall. The tables were tastefully laid out and attended to by some of the following ladies who had also kindly supplied the refreshments: Mesdames Abrahams, W..

Bryant, J. D. Hamilton, Homewood senr., Homewood jun, Purvis, Stanley, A. Drysdale, Thomson , and the Misses Drysdale and Gill.

Mr A. Drysdale and Mr A. Gill carried out the important secretarial duties, and a word of praise is due to them for the excellent way the minutest detail was attended to.

● The Homewood Hall in 2018.

The May 30, 1907, edition reported of another concert: A concert, in aid of the Sunday School funds took- place in the Homewood Hall on Wednesday, May 22, and was in every way a success.

The attendance was good, and should give .round financial assistance to the Sunday School fund.

Many adults attended from Yea, the time table being particularly favourable for those who wished to avail themselves of the train, while a fair number drove out, the bright moonlight night making the drive a pleasant one.

The programme was almost entirely supplied by the children of Homewood, who had been ably tutored by the Misses Gill, and many items of merit were supplied by the juvenile entertainers.

The chair was occupied by Mr Rupp, and in the interval he gave some humorous reminiscences of his ministry "way back," he having (prior to coming to Yea) been some years in the back blocks of New South Wales.

He promised at an early date to give some idea of the disadvantages under which "way back" settlers labor, by the aid of lantern slides which he is having prepared, and which he hoped to show in the Homewood Hall to further augment the funds of the Sunday School.

Messrs A. Drysdale and A. Gill rendered valuable assistance.in the carrying out of the arrangements, for the comfort of visitors, etc.

The following programme was given : Song. Sowing the Seed, by the Sunday School children. Song, Smiling Faces;Jean Drysdale, Song, The Blacksmith, R: and A. Abraham, G. Bryant, G. and N.

Clemmie Drysdale acted the part of Bessie, Gwen Thompson as Sadie; Eadie Drysdale as Nettie; Ethel Gill as Cordelia; Stella Drysdale as Adelaide; and Adelaide Purvis as Evangeline Stuart.

Miss Mona Gill acted as accompaniste. . The proceedings were brought to a termination by the singing of God Save the King, in ample time for visitors to return to Yea by the evening train. ★ Soon, a supper room was added to the Homewood Hall, as this June 27, 1907, report explains: A social, in aid of the building funds was held in the Homewood Hall on Wednesday night, 19th inst.

The affair was of a most enjoyable character, and was well attended - about 28 couples being present.

Dancing was kept up to the strains of Stainshy's orchestra till the early hours, when after a second visit to the supper room the tired dancers, feeling that they had never been to a more enjoyable function, departed with the hope that it will not be long before they are again asked to visit Homewood.

To the ladies of the district who supplied the refreshments a special word of praise is due, the supper being one that is seldom equalled at a function of similar kind.

The residents of Homewood have now a hall of which they may justly feel proud.

They have just built a spacious supper room, which is a very welcome addition. ★

The following year saw more funds raised for the Sunday School at Homewood. The April 23, 1908, Chronicle report said: Another successful concert, in aid of the funds of the Homewood Sunday School, was held in the Homewood hall, on Easter Monday night, the chair being occupied by the Rev H.M.R. Rupp, B.A The following programme was most creditably rendered, the singing of Ida Munstow being of special merit: Phonograph selections; recitation, Our Verse, A. and G. Drysdale songs: The Stars, by five girls; Daddy, Jean Drysdale; Charlie has a Little Dog, four boys; The Train, four girls; Marjory, Ida Mustow ;.

Mr Brown; Black Cat, several boys; The Crows, by girls nd boys; Dolly and a Coach, Ida Mustow; Gently rock the Cradle, four girls; Fie, Fie, Fie, Cecil Forbes; dialogue, Blackberrying, by two boys; recitation, The Shearing, S. Drysdale; dialogue, Mr Flutter; song, Miss Drysdale ; The Evening Hymn, by children; and The National Anthem. ★ A ‘Grand Social’ was advertised, and the October 29 issue of 1908 noted: A most enjoyable musical evening was spent at the Homewood hall on Tuesday last, Oct. 27, it being the "break up" for the season of the elocution class.

The hall was prettily decorated with roses and arum lillies. A very large number attended, the Rev I. C. Lahore presiding.

During the evening the members of the class took part, and, considering it was the debut of every member, the reciting was highly creditable.

The little Miss Drysdales opened proceedings with a pianoforte duet.

Miss Gwen Thomson opened the second part of the programme with a pianoforte solo.

Mr and Mrs Alex. Drysdale, the Missess Gill, and Mr W. Purvis rendered musical items, which were greatly appreciated.

Last on the programme, but not least in popularity, was Mr Coonan, who was never heard to better advantage as when giving Mulga Bill, and, as an encore, Peter Sorgham's Court ship.

When the interval was announced Cr Alexander Drysdale stepped forward, and, after a few suitable remarks, presented the Rev Mr Lahore, on behalf of the pupils of the elocution class, with a purse of sovereigns.

The recipient, who both looked and expressed his surprise, feelingly thanked the class.

It was not all good news at Homewood. On September 10, this press article appeared: Owing to the falling off in the attendance at the Homewood State school, instructions have been given that it shall be closed. Mr Jas. Clark, who has been working it half time with. the Murrindindi school, takes charge of the Glenburn school, now a half-time school, temporarily; but his wife and family will remain in Yea.

‘Smoke night’ to farewell Alexandra townsman ■ The farewell ‘smoke night’ of an Alexandra townsman, retiring to New Zealand, was told in the February 3, 1905 issue of the local newspaper: On Wednesday evening last a complimentary smoke night wastendered to Mr. F. Wakeham, on his retirement from business in Alexandra to take up a position .in New Zealand.

The function was a great success in every respect.

Councillor Leckie, President of the Shire, occupied the chair.

After a musical overture by Mr. Greene, the chairman introduced the business of the evening by briefly referring to the purpose of the meeting, namely, to give Mr. Wakeham, whom all respected, a suitable sendoff, to wish him bOn voyage, and to express the hope that he would be, in every way, successful in his new venture.

He then asked all present to charge their glasses that they might honor the first toast on the list-The King-which was drunk with enthusiasm, all singing the National Anthem.

Mr. T. A. Fox then sang Island of Dreams.

Mr. Greene, in proposing the toast, Success to Football, referred to the pride all footballers felt in Mr. Wakeham as a footballer.

He played a strong game, a skilful game and a graceful game. His play was marked by manliness and good nature. All footballers would regret his departure.

Mr. Cooper sang Our Jack's Come Home To-day.

Mr. H. Wood, in responding to the toast so ably proposed by Mr. Greene, acknowledged that he was not a wearer of the jersey himself, but responded on behalf of his brother, a late captain of the team, who was unable to attend.

As an onlooker, and one who saw the whole of the game, he could endorse all that Mr. Greene had said with regard to Mr. Wakeham's play.

Mr. Wakeham's play indicated his character; courage, straightness and skill were recognised ,by the onlooker in every game.

Mr. A. Arnot sang Asleep in the Deep.

Mr. Vernon, in proposing the toast, Success to Musical and Dramatic Interests, called attention to the fact that Mr. Wakoham had been a member of St. John's choir, the Glee club, and the Dramatic club, in all of which he had rendered valuable service, and was greatly respected by all who worked with him in those societies.

Mr. T. Wilmott sang Bonny Mary or Argyle.

Mr G. R. Blackbourn, who has recently come to reside in the town to open a branch of the Melbourne legal firm of Akehurst and Blackborn, proposed the toast of Commercial and Trade Interests in an exceedingly able speech.

As a new comer, he spoke as one who was keenly alive to the natural advantages of the district-a fact too many of the older residents overlook its fertility and possibilities.

He urged the extension of the railway as soon as possible.

He reminded his brother townsmen that it rested with them to make the most of their opportunity, that it was by all working together for each other's good that each would reap a greater success than if he only

But he will let me say, he will find men an unco squad. He will have his troubles as we all have. He can then comfort himself with the thought that he has left those behind him who will gladly see him back again.

Someone says "We love the girls for what they are and the boys for what they promise to be."

Mr. Wakeham is not a boy. He is a man, a man of promise. We hope he will fulfil that promise. I am not here tonight to say more pleasantries but to say what I think, and what I say is sincerely said and meant.

One thing I must notice, that is that with some of these functions people are dragooned into giving.

There was nothing of this sort on this occasion. All gave because they desired to give, because they loved and respected the man; and the meeting to-night and the presentation which I have now to make, express in a small measure that feeling.

On behalf of your friends in Alexandra I have much pleasure in presenting this travelling bag to you as a memento of their affection and respect.

Whenover you handle it you will be able to think of them. You will make many friends, but never friends with more love and respect for you than we feel. (Loud and continuous applauso.)

Mr. Cooper sang Juanita.

In acknowledging the honor done him in the smoke night and presentation Mr. Wakeham said -Mr Chairman, I am not an orator. Had you given me all the speeches about a week ago, and had a friend dramatized the evening's proceedings and given me my speech to learn, then perhaps I might have rivalled Mr. Scott.

I can only say I thank you all.

Though the speakers were sincere in what they said, I fear some of the kind things were far fetched and belonged to another fellow.

What I have done was done, not for.my own benefit but to help the town. While in Alexandra I was anxious to see the town go ahead.

It is the duty of all of us. to do what we can to further the interests, of the place in which we live. There is a language more eloquent than speech'. There are thoughts and feelings no language can express.

You must accept my silence. I don't think that any man has the brains to invent terms to express what I feel. I am leaving here not that I desire to leave in a measure circumstances compel. Larger opportunities present themselves to me there and I avail myself of them.

I am happy to say I am going to New Zealand with a partner. I must thank Mr. Scott, Mr. Leckie and Mr. Fox together with the other gentlemen who have spoken so kindly, for all the kind things said, and if I live for a hundred ears I shall remember them.

I loved the place when I first came here. It seemed a beautiful place. It seemed like a garden. I have loved the people as well as the place and will always remember them with affection.

I hope that in the future I shall find the same kindness in my new home that I have found here. I thank you for the gift. It is one that will last a ife time.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 20

They call it Nutfield, city limits Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ After a term as tenant farmers followed by contracting at Clifton Hill, they elected a farm at Somerton and milked cows.

From notes written by their grandson James T. Murphy, the story continues.

“Elizabeth Ann used to take the butter and eggs and anything else they grew into Melbourne, and stand in Bourke Street at the Eastern Market and sell them there.

“I have heard her say that Elizabeth Street wsas just a quagmire, mostly corduroyed with saplings, and she had to drive the house and cart down there as it was a direct road from Somerton.”

A drought in 1863 looked likely to end their farming venture: “They heard from someone about all the fresh water flowing from the mountain through a place called Arthur’s Creek, so Thomas and his son William rode horses out to have a look.

“They were so impressed that went to the Lands Department and took up three selections, one for Thomas Snr, 80 acres, one for William, 100 acres and one for Sarah (later Sarah Bunker) 80 acres and moved to the new lands on September 1, 1864.”

The Murphy family comprised six boys and three girls and all, except Thomas Jnr, married and sedttled at Arthur’s Creek so that locality was sometimes referred to as Murphy’s Creek.

Donald McMillan came to Port Phillip in 1849 in his 50th year. To repay his passage, he became shepherd to Captain Aneas McPherson, manager of Thomas Walker’s estate along the Plenty River.

He married McPherson’s sisterin-law and settled for atime at Morang but in 1866 selected at Arthur’s Creek.

He died in 1891 at the age of 92 having a family of 12 children, of whom the best remembered is Hugh, who taught at the Arthur’s Creek Sunday School for more than 50 years.

Another early arrival was Glasgow-born James Mann who married Violet Mane in the first wedding held at Janefield Presbyterian Church.

Originally taking up land in what became the Yan Yean Reserve, they later settled between the Sugarloaf in the Kinglake National Park and the Arthur’s Creek.

They called their holding Lang Fauld farm, and this was extended along the valley towards Strathewen by family members.

The Brennan brothers, Michael and Pierre, settled north of Thomas Murphy with William and Patrick Lodge taking still higher ground.

Alexander (J.A.) Macfarlane and his wife Mary E. the eldest daughter of William Reid, retained some of the Macfarlane holding ‘Ardchattan’, but their selections were discontinuous and, before long, they sold to new settlers or their sons.

They often raised the necessary

money to erect a hall on the site, a focal point for assemblage and entertainment.

Two functions held in the Doreen Hall are of note. The first was a concert and hall organised by lewis C. Brock and Cr L.W. Clarke in May 1915 to raise funds for Red Cross.

The second, in 1933, was a testimonial eveningt to Cr and Mrs L.W. Clarke for their work in the community, he for his civic endeavour and Mrs Clarke for her Red Cross work and assistance with district churches.

Another Arthur’s Creek citizen to receive the thanks of the community was William Reid, the first President of the Shire of Whittlesea.

An illuminated address, presented to him on his retirement in 1923, records his services as a member of Whittlesea Shire Council from 1875 to 1923, including 10 years as President.

The large area of land south of the timbered Yan Yean Reserve and the Kinglake National Park has always been prone to the threat of fire.

To co-ordinate fire -prevention and suppression, a Rural Fire Brigade was formed in 1941 and a shed to house the truck erected in 1953.

Private equipment supplements this CFAvehicle, but in 1962 one fire succeeded in destroying even the Arthur’s Creek School and teacher’s residence.

Power lines of the SEC have traversed the area since 1928 but local extension was not geun until 1959.

Reticulated water came to much of the area in 1966/ Initially, the staple agricultural product was fruit (wide small scale dairying asnd pig raising as sidelines) but the depression of 1929 finished the fruitgrowing industry.

It had been declining since 1920 due mainly to lack of adequate fertilising.

For a few years, tomatoes grown on the creek flats using water from the running streams, provided income for some, but when they were overproduced and prices fell to one shilling per case, farmers switched to sheep, or back to dairying and pigs.

The undulating foothills of the Dividing Range are attractive as small residential farms, and over 100 from five to 20 acres in size, were being sold or developed.

This infusion of new settlers will doubtless be as eager as older residents to preserve the rural charm of the area.

Schools Hazel Glen, Doreen, S.S. No 945 Some time before 1867, residents of Linton erected a schoolhouse and residence of land donated by William Reid.

The school building stood on the south side of Chapel Lane almost opposite ‘Linton Grange’, and was constructed of sapling studs, with a shingle roof and paling exterior.

When application by the local committee was made, Angus Smith, formerly headmaster at Yan Yean School no 697 was teacher and his wife Barbara, sewing mistress to the 41 pupils listed in the document. ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

CLARINDA CHAROLAIS Bulls & Females for Sale

***Bulls Guaranteed*** Extra Weight * Fast Growth * Excellent Temperament Clarinda bulls all come with a full guarantee of fertility and temperament.

Importance of Calving Ease The most important time of the year is the three weeks leading up to calving.

This ensures cow and calf health for the following year. It is important they are up to date with parasite and vaccination programs and any supplements that they might need for good health and condition.

The healthier your cow at this time enhances calving ease. Calves born easily stand on their feet quicker. As they drink earlier their growth is faster.

And in turn full milk production is achieved. The cow is then better positioned to get in calf again. This makes a lot less work for you, and more money in your pocket down the track.

fence to attack had Powelltown in chase mode and with the added defensive pressure from Kate and Regina, the Tigers had a ripper quarter. They added another 19 goals to lead by 33 goals at the last break.

The line-up remained unchanged in the last quarter and the Tigers continued on their merry way, Meg having another 14 goal quarter to amass 51 goals for the qame.

The coach praised the team for their outstanding performance, a great team effort with nine solid contributors. The B-Grade girls take on Seville next Sunday for a Grand Final place.

D-GRADE Yea v Alexandra This was a ripper game from start to finish, the result going Yea's way after a strong and confident finish from the Tiger girls.

It was tipped to be tight and it was, evident from the start that this game was going to go right down to the wire.

Both teams started tentatively playing safe and steady netball and making sure they worked the ball into a great position in the goal circle before scoring.

Kristy, Kate and Caitlyn worked the ball around the goal circle, and it was Hannah who set up well to score some great goals for the Tigers. It was mostly goal for goal in this first quarter and the teams went to the break with 7 each.

Yea's defence was superb in the second quarter. The full court pressure from all players was high quality and forced Alex into multiple errors.

Jill and Teagan were smart and strong in the defensive circle, both players on bigger opponents but they positioned themselves beautifully and forced the goalers into difficult scoring positions.

Ebony was brilliant at WD, her closing speed to the ball was a real highlight and she made countless deflections that in turn put her team back into attack. Yea managed 5 for the quarter but their work rate defensively kept Alex to 3, giving them a two-goal lead at half-time.

Yea started the second half strongly. Kristy and Hannah were proving a formidable goaling team, both girls strong targets in the circle and if the shot was missed they both rebounded strongly. Kate and Caitlyn were fantastic in the goal third, continuing to be great options for the goalers by staying strong on the circles edge.

Yea got out to a four-goal lead before Alex had a late surge in the quarter and reduced Yea's lead to just one at three-quarter time.

The last quarter had the spectators on their feet with nerves. Both teams worked hard under intense pressure and played goal for goal netball.

Alex gained a critical turnover and soon levelled and then with the centre pass their way, took the lead.

This could have deflated the Tiger team but instead they rose to the occasion and all seven players picked up their work rate. The defensive efforts were incredible with every girl either forcing a held ball, deflecting a ball or intercepting a ball.

Every effort lifted the team and they were able to storm home to win by four goals. A mighty performance that you should all be very proud of. Next weekend the team face Gembrook for the first place in this year's Grand Final.

Yea 25 def Alexandra 21 Goals: H. Broderick 22, K. Schaeffer 3.

Best: T. Britton, E. Edge, H. Broderick.

THIS SUNDAY All four Yea netball teams will play next Sunday, all vying for the first Grand Final position.

We look forward to seeing many supporters there cheering the Tigers on.

YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT RESERVES FOOTBALL Yea 5.5 (35) defeated by Seville 11.9 (75) Yea's finals campaign is over for 2018, suffering a 40-point defeat at the hands of a muchimproved Seville outfit.

The Tigers never recovered from a slow start that saw the Blues slam on the first three goals of the match and take control of proceedings to lead by 19 points at the quarter-time break.

Yea worked their way back into the contest in the second term and began to dominate in general play but simply couldn't capitalise on their opportunities, with Seville stretching the lead to 26 points by half-time.

Although the Tigers battled hard, they couldn't hit the scoreboard after the long break and at 39 points behind at three quarter time, the Blues had done enough to take the sting out of the game.

Three late goals, including the first of the final term from Trent McMahon within a minute, kept the margin from blowing out but the day well and truly belonged to Seville.

Cameron Evans racked up possessions at will through the midfield, Julian Mahon was at the bottom of every pack from start to finish and Ian Porter offered great drive from the back half.

Darcy Pell competed hard in the ruck against a quality opponent and Ben Broadway tried his heart out in the centre of the ground, while McMahon presented well and finished with two majors.

Seville will take on Yarra Junction this Sunday after the Eagles went down to Yarra Glen by 30 points.

Goalkickers: T. McMahon 2, B. Broadway, J. Mahon, D. Pell Best Players: B. Broadway, E. Neilson, D. Pell, T. McMahon, J. Mahon, I. Porter.

NETBALL B-GRADE Yea v Powelltown Yea took hold of this match right from the first whistle, playing at a high intensity and a real hunger for the ball.

Every girl on court fought hard for every ball and this willingness and enthusiasm saw the Tigers shoot the first six goals of the game.

Powelltown really had to fight hard for their goals as the defensive trio of Cindy N, Lauren and Sarah worked overtime on them, forcing Powelltown into errors.

Meg was on fire at GS and a 100 per cent conversion of 14 goals in the first quarter certainly helped Yea to a 16-5 quarter-time lead.

Tara and Sophie were superb at WA and C in the second quarter, following the coaches instructions to drive hard in the second phase after the centre pass.

These drives put them right on to the circles edge where they were able to be patient and deliver the ball well into Meg and Cindy H. At the other end of the court Cindy N read the incoming ball beautifully and was able to intercept many balls, and with her defensive partner protecting the post, Powelltown just didn't have the answers. Yea 30-10 at half time.

Changes were made in the midcourt at half time - Kate replacing Tara at WD, Regina into WD and Sarah moving into C to give Sophie a very well deserved rest.

These changes did not alter the Tigers play one bit, the new midcourt combination continuing on exactly where the others had left off.

Brilliant drives and ball transition from de-

KINGLAKE FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

Elimination Final Kinglake 53 d Seville 37 Kinglake started the first quarter off very flat, scaring their supporters. Most likely because the girls warmed up for the first time this season.

The first quarter had the Laker ladies finding them selves flat in attack whilst Seville made clear plays. Towards the end of the first quarter, Lakers started to get some rhythm ending with three goals behind (8-11).

Abbie Barnes came on into WA and open up the attack end with her agility allowing Monique Nagle (20) and Fiona Olarenshaw (33) to focus on movement within the ring to balance the attack end. At half-time Kinglake had outscored Seville by 15-7 (23-18).

The third half was an even better quarter with Bridget Waack moving into C and Nakita Lastrina into WD. Nakita and Caitlin Ryan used their playing experience to transition the ball into the attacking end with ease.

Alice Waack and Caitlin both had outstanding defence all game but pushed Lakers on in the third quarter, keeping Seville again to only 8.

Monique and Fiona found their communication and had Seville’s defenders looking at the ground to keep Lakers 13 goals ahead going into the last quarter.

Latoya Wards came into C and Lakers remainder calm and collected. A tactical time was called to get some more players on with Renee Wilson coming into WD. The girls finished the final quarter with 14-11 to secure a place in the 1st Semi Final next weekend.

Thankyou to Taryn Jennings and Lauren Watson, I'm sorry you couldn't get on today but your support and encouragement is amazing.

Thankyou to Casey Lee Barns for stepping up as assistant coach and helping with direction.

Thankyou to all supporters as well.

Semi 1: (winner to Grand Final and loser to Prelim) Kinglake vs Yea Semi 2: (winner to Prelim) Seville vs Powelltown.

other during the season. Alexandra included Chris McKay to replace Ben Woollard (hamstring) and Brent McDonald declared he wasn't well enough and was replaced by Daniel Rouget in the selected team as Alex looked a betterbalanced side than the one who had lost recently at Gembrook.

The weather was cool with occasional misty rain and the ground was in good condition after recent rain. Alexandra began to the northern end favoured by a slight breeze and won the first clearance through the Steiner twins Matt and Steve but Gembrook cleared until Steve Steiner again forwarded to Scott Hill for the first goal.

Alex continued to attack early, Jacob Brereton also had a chance but was off line, then Rouget from a mark forwarded to Brandon Kapakoulakis who cleverly got the ball to Jake Steyger in the goal square for a second Alex goal.

Gembrook then got forward and a free resulted in their first goal. Gembrook had now settled and forwarded repeatedly but were offline until a second goal eventuated.

Alex showed that they were up for the contest with Brereton and Steyger doing well, the umpires were letting it go with obvious free kicks un-penalised. Gembrook got a third goal from a long way out and they were now using the ball better. A long Alex shot on goal went just the wrong side of the post as the sun broke through just on quarter time with Alex seven points in arrears.

Gembrook kicked their fourth goal within a minute of the resumption of play before Brayden Norris had a chance for Alex but his long shot stayed right. The Alex defence was under pressure and Michael Whitbourne was leading the way. Hill took a good mark and his kick found Brereton but he too was offline. Michael Firrito showed his class and experience with a long goal as the Brooker's looked cleaner with the ball in hand. Unfortunately, Whitbourne went down injured and was stretchered off the ground.

After play resumed, Brereton marked well and passed to McKay but he missed as Alex misused the ball by hand and foot. Finally, Michael Coombs forwarded and Brereton kicked a much-needed Alex goal. Gembrook replied with a goal from the forward pocket, Joe Daniel also marked well but his kick let him down.

The Gembrook defenders made a mistake deep and Norris made them pay the full price, Ben Cooper also winning plenty of the ball, marked well and his goal got the margin back to a more manageable level.

Firitto won a free and cunningly a 50m penalty to restore Gembrook's margin of 19 points at the main break.

Alex attacked first but Gembrook rebounded well and kicked the first goal of the third quarter.

Using the ball better Gembrook kicked a second goal and looked to be in control, Cooper won a free with a typical tackle but was wide then Kapakoulakis also missed a chance as he seemed to change his mind running toward goal.

Rouget marking well, turned Gembrook out until a third goal at the 20-minute mark and the margin was now six goals plus. Scott Heveren now forward won a free and goaled and Alex came again but Cooper's long shot just missed, Matt Steiner's high kick forward was marked

by Heveren who kicked his second goal then Coombs found Daniel for a goal and Alex were now back in the contest after 10 minutes of good football as Alex had squared the quarter to still trail by 19 points at the last change.

The last quarter began in sunshine but the Alex defence was under pressure as Gembrook added behinds, Alex also added a behind before Heveren snapped a team lifting goal. Norris then sent forward where Steve Steiner goaled and the difference was now seven points early in the last quarter.

Gembrook attacked with the breeze but the Alex defence forced them wide until a freak goal to the Brookers gave then some breathing space.

A strong tackle by Rouget halted a threatening attack but despite the efforts of Will Goonan deep in defence Gembrook kicked their 12th goal. Kapakoulakis and Hill mounted an attack and Heveren kicked his fourth goal at the 18minute mark but unfortunately this was to be the last Alex goal as Gembrook kicked the last goal of the game to record a 20-point won 13.19 (97) to Alex. 11.11 (77).

Coach Sam Kidd, in thanking players for their efforts over the season, empathizesd that it was not effort but some skill errors that were costly.

Property depreciation services Just Depreciation is always going the extra mile to help all our clients whenever we can. We have decided to answer some of our frequently asked questions to help give you some advice and get a better understanding of our services to save you time and money.

If, for any reason, there are still questions you would like to ask us about our property depreciation services then don’t hesitate to call our friendly team who would be only too happy to help.

My property is old is it worthwhile getting a report prepared?

Yes, all properties regardless of age have some form of depreciation. The fixtures and fittings in the property must be valued at the date that you first make the property available for rental. Just Depreciation recommend reports for all residential properties no matter how old the building may be.

I have owned the property for a number of years and not claimed any depreciation, have I missed out?

No, we will start your report from the first date of rental and your accountant can apply to the Taxation Office to get previous returns adjusted. It’s never too late to claim any property depreciation.

How long does the report last for?

Our reports have 10 years of detailed information and enough detail for your accountant to expand on the individual items after this date so you won't have to arrange for a another report unless you carry out major renovations or improvements.

Do you guarantee your report will be worthwhile?

Yes of course, and we guarantee that if you do not receive a deduction that is twice the amount of our fee in the first year, then the report will be free. We believe this is the fairest and best possible outcome either way for our clients.

What is the process? Do I have to make appointments?

No, we make the appointments on your behalf via your rental manager and liaise with tenants for a suitable time for the property inspection so you need not worry about a thing.

What happens at the inspection?

We measure the property, take photos, take note of all depre ciable items and any capital building write off deductions that may apply and then return to the office to calculate and process the report.
