If burning off within a residential area, fires must not be any larger than one metre in diameter and one metre in height, and smoke must not cause a nuisance to neighbours.

Council's 'Fire Restriction Period' will commence on 1 October 2018. During the 'Fire Restriction Period', no burning off in residential areas (except for campfires/ BBQs) is allowed unless you have obtained a permit from Council. If you are in a Farming Zone you may have a small fire without a permit. A 'small fire' is classified as no more than one metre in width and height with vegetation no thicker than 75mm. Large fires in Farming Zones will require a Council permit. A burning permit requires all applicants to: • Register their burn with the CFA burn off line on 1800 668 511 prior to lighting the fire • Have the means to extinguish the fire • Have an adult person present at all times • Ensure that smoke does not cause a nuisance • Spread all coals, ashes and unburnt material at the completion of the fire Alternatively, Murrindindi Shire residents can deposit their green waste free of charge year round at any of Council's Resource Recovery Centres. Applications to burn off can be made at murrindindi.vic.gov.au/customerrequest or by contacting Council's Community Safety Unit on 5772 0333. The Country Fire Authority (CFA) will shortly declare its 'Fire Danger Period'. Once this 'Fire Danger Period' begins, no fires for burning vegetation will be issued.

Grant applications are open from 10 September and close on 8 October 2018. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by 10 November 2018.

Is there a possibility that the community-minded buyers of the Yea Commonwealth Bank building might be planning to allow the local Yea Historical Society to have some use of the property? The Ranges Hotel at Gembrook was badly damaged by fire on Monday morning (Sept. 24). The hotel once had a local link to Murrindindi. In the early 1990s, then-owner of the Kinglake Hotel, Alastair Payne was a partner in the firm that had ownership of both Kinglake and Gembrook pubs.

● Yarra Valley Railway The Liberal Nationals will complete the Yarra Valley Railway by upgrading the link from Tarrawarra Estate and Tarrawarra Museum of Art to Healesville Railway Station. An elected Liberal Nationals Government will contribute $3.75 million to the project, on top of the $2.74 million already raised by the local community, says Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish. This upgrade will allow for greater capacity for tourist trains and the ability for the line to have historic steam trains operating.

A Climate-Smart Farming event will be held at the Yea Shire Hall from 6pm-9.30pm on Thursday, October 11 at the Yea Shire Hall. The Yea River Catchment Landcare Group and Farmers For Climate Action will host the event, with guest speakers including Dr Luke Shelley, Prof. Richard Eckard and Lucinda Corrigan. Cost is $20. Phone: 0448 972 563. Flowerdale residents report an increased amount of roadside litter along the Yea-Whittlesea Rd.

Residential hotel planned for K’lake ■ Murrindindi Shire Council will tonight (Wed.) consider an application to develop a function centre, residential hotel, restaurant and artist retreat at Pheasant Creek. S.M. and R.A. Chapman are applying to create the development at 85 National Park Rd, Pheasant Creek. The centre will accommodate up to 50 attendees, and a residential hotel for up to 15 guests per night within eight rooms. Two objections have been objected to the development. Officers have recommended that the development proceed, subject to a number of conditions. Under the recommendation to be put to tonight’s meeting, a Bushfire Emergency Management Plan must be approved to the satisfaction of Council, prior to commencement. One suggested condition is that a minimum of 30 car spaces must be provided. One car space would have to be provided for the exclusive use of disabled people. A further planning permit may be required for the display of advertising signage. One objector said the proposed sewage treatment plant will have an adverse impact on bores.
● A function centre and residential hotel is planned for a Pheasant Creek property.
Overdue fines scrapped ■ Murrindindi Council will tonight (Wed.) consider the removal of overdue fines to children’s items borrowed from the Murrindindi Library Service. Under the plan, the Library Service would waive all outstanding overdue fines on children’s items. “This decision was based on a considerable body of evidence, locally and internationally, that suggests that removal of overdue fines on children’s items can remove barriers by improving children’s literacy, includion and participation and have a range of other benefits,” said a report to Council. Interstate trials suggest that rather than act as an incentive for members to return books on time, once an intem is overdue, fines act as a deterrent to the return of the item.
Volunteer Murrindindi ■ People interested in learning something new or sharing a special set of skills with others may be assisted by a new local webiste. So might community groups or organisations which could use some volunteer help. The ‘Volunteer Murrindindi’ website aims to bring together those in Murrindindi Shire with skills to share and those who need a hand. Developed and run by Kinglake Ranges Neighbourhood House, with support from Murrindindi Shire Council, www.volunteer murrindindi.com.au enables users to register their interest in volunteering, apply for a volunteer position or list a volunteer opportunity. Kinglake Ranges Community HouseCoordinator Vicky Mann said that it is hoped the website will inspire people who may not have considered volunteering before. “Likewise, we hope that community organisations who might not have been able to find volunteers in the past may be able to benefit from promoting to a wider audience. “From sports to education to crafts, social activities or anything in between, we’re hoping this platform will become a hub for sharing skills in Murrindindi Shire,” Ms Mann said.

Support for Mernda Neighbourhood ■ Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green asked a question in State Parliament last week about the Mernda Community House. “My constituency question is to the Minister for Families and Children in the other place, and it concerns the Andrews Labor Government’s record investment in expanding Victoria’s neighbourhood house network,” Ms Green said. “I ask: when will the minister make a decision on the application by Mernda Community House for funding through the neighbourhood house co-ordination program? “This year’s budget provided $21.8 million for neighbourhood houses, and my electorate has already reaped the benefits with the Whittlesea Community House seeing their hours boosted to 25 hours per week. “Further, all neighbourhood houses in Yan Yean will benefit through increased support to the North East Neighbourhood House Network and the Goulburn North East Association of Community Centres Network to improve access to key services and activities. “As part of this record boost - almost eight times as much as what was provided by the former Liberal government - the minister opened applications for funding for new or unfunded neighbourhood houses. “I am very supportive of the application by the Mernda neighbourhood house,” Ms Green said.

■ ‘Bed-sitter’ units for senior citizens in Francis St, Yea, would be allocated to homeless youth if elderly people did not use them, the Ministry of Housing told Yea Council in 1988.

■ Almost half a century has elapsed since the tragic, high speed, head-on collision near Violet Town of the southbound Southern Aurora and a north-bound goods train, which caused the deaths and injuries of many people and livestock.

Maher, Seymour Telegraph
Berry backlash
■ Strawberries are in the news for all the wrong reasons at the moment but there is a simple message from two of the Yarra Valley’s most experienced growers. “Buy them, wash them, cut them and eat them,” said John Calle, Victorian Strawberry Growers Association president. “You should always wash strawberries before eating anyway so just cut them up and all is good.” Authorities revealed on September 13 that consumers had found sewing needles inside strawberries from Queensland stocked in supermarkets across the country. - Mountain Views Mail

From Our 1938 Files
War pending
■ With the threat of war, business generally is at a low ebb. The next few days will decide whether there is to be another Great War, due to Herr Hitler's extraordinary demands on the Czechs.
Dad and Dave
■ A meeting of the ladies of the Horticultural Society (Diamond Creek) was held at the home of Mrs. T. W. Harrington on Tuesday. It was decided to hold a "Dad & Dave" dance on October 29. All personalities in this play will be filled by locals, and the wedding of Alf. and Annie will most likely be celebrated.
Nutfield News
■ Owing to the dryness of the season, work in the orchards is being retarded. The trees are budding well, and with seasonal rains, a good season is in view. Farmers are busy with their tomato plots.
Yarck Cricket Club
■ Tihe Yarck Cricket Club has been reformed and has been admitted to the Alexandra District Association. The first match will be played on Saturday against Buxton on the Yarck ground. Office.bearers elected at the annual meeting :-President, Mr. P. V. Chapman; senior vice-president, Mr. A. H. Cullis; secretary, Mr. J. Jones; delegates to Association. Messrs. H. Stride and A. H. Cullls.
Kang. Ground
■ The Kangaroo Ground Presbyterian Church was filled last Sunday morning for the special jubilee service. In addition to local residents, a large number of former residents of the district attended. The service was impressively conducted by the Rev. E. H. McLean Shugg. During the service, Miss Gwen Stradling of Geelong, who is the happy possessor of a beautiful voice, sang a solo, and was later heard with Mr. Harold Strickland in a duet. Both vocalists, who came from Geelong to attend the service, received many expressions of appreciation after, the service. Among the former residents of Kangaroo Ground who came to the service were Mr. and Mrs. E. Haughton, of Melbourne, Mr. and Mrs. R.

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.

Stars: ***½ Review: The dramatization on the scandal, mysterious events and aftermath surrounding Senator Ted Kennedy's involvement in a car accident and the tragic drowning that claimed the life of young political campaign strategist, Mary Jo Kopechne, on the island of Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, on the 18th of July in 1969, three days before the Apollo 11 moon landing. Outstanding dramatization on the tragic events and subsequent mystery succeeds with compelling and suspenseful results due to respectful and equally balanced screenplay (by Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan) with avidly taut and low-key direction by John Curran (The Painted Veil/2006). Jason Clarke as the ill-fated Senator Edward Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy brothers (Joe, John and Robert), delivers a flawless performance of total believability filled with haunting compassion, uncertainty and arrogance, along with a stellar supporting cast including Kate Mara as Mary Jo Kopechne, Ed Helms as close friend and Kennedy cousin, Joseph Gargan, Clancy Brown as Robert McNamara, and Bruce Dern as stroke affected Father, Joseph Kennedy, Snr. Very wisely, no taking sides, grand-standing, glossy showmanship or seemingly poetic licence, what grips is a political tragedy filled with moments of total disbelief, most notably the corrosive lack of compassion and respect for Mary Jo Kopechne following the accident, along with ignorance, deception and corruption. In the final year of a decade that defined and split generations with The Beatles' Final Public Performance, "Easy Rider," "Midnight Cowboy," Woodstock, Vietnam Protests, the Moon Landing, Race Riots, the Manson Murders and the Death of Joseph K ennedy, Snr. the last of the Kennedy Presidential hopefuls and a family dynasty came to an end. For those of us who remember, and those who don't know of the events of "Chappaquiddick," this is a well made slice of history, a no frills, well crafted, fascinating, ambiguous, damning, poignant, disturbing, haunting and thought-provoking tale and reminder that plunges us into murky waters that are as relevant today. FILM: THE LEISURE SEEKER: Genre: Adventure/Drama/Comedy. Cast: Helen Mirren, Donald Sutherland, Christian M c K a y. Year: 2017. Rating: TBC. Length: 112 Minutes. Stars: *** Review: A elderly couple in their twilight years decide to go on a journey in their faithful old RV they call The Leisure Seeker, by travelling from Boston to The Ernest Hemingway Home in Key West, Florida, and along the way they recapture their passion for life and their love for each other on a road trip that they know could possibly be their last. Bittersweet adventure-comedy-drama 'road movie' of Alzheimer's and illness lacks the much needed balance of comedy and drama that seemingly derives its strained material from a mixture of the Oscar winning 'Still Alice' (2014) and 'Iris' (2001), the powerful and unforgettable 'Memories of Tomorrow' (2006) with Ke n Watanabe, along with touches of 'Going in Style' (1979), 'About Schmidt' (2002) and 'Little Miss Sunshine' (2006), turning purity and all-too polished performance, topic and pot-holed journey into predictability and cliché along the way. The likeability of veteran stars Helen Mirren, complete with a strong southern 'Gone With The Wind' accent, and Donald Sutherland compliment this celebration of a loving life-long relationship with as much conviction as the screenplay and direction allows them, but still raising the material and message way about heights that lesser known or less talented performers would have otherwise drowned in. Based on the novel by Michael Zadoorian, the topic of Alzheimer's and illness are a delicate balance of emotions, we need a myriad of well balanced emotional sensibilities to access, understand and accept the situation and those afflicted no matter what the time, form or place may be, and even though 'The Leisure Seeker' has its heart and soul in the right place, with some momentarily funny, original, haunting, quirky and poignant moments, only too fleetingly do we come to be gripped by this loving couple on their final journey. FILM: FURY - UHD 4K + DVD Release: Genre: War/Action/Drama. Cast: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman. Year: 2014. Rating: MA15+ Length: 134 Minutes. Stars: ***½ Review: Now in a stunning remastered 4K Ultra High Definition release, this is a strong and gripping WWII drama set in April, 1945, of a battle-hardened U.S. army sergeant commands a tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon. Solid performances, tight direction and well staged battle sequences hold all believability with a firm grip until the third and final act in which it falls into old style Hollywood cliché, predictability and almost disbelief, as all gets thrown to the wind and becomes an absurd caricature of too many war films before it. Nonetheless, this is an extremely well made and historically accurate and compelling drama, with Brad Pitt and company showing firm conviction for the most part and the nail-biting action is plenty, most notably the battle with the only surviving and fully working near invincible German Tiger Tank in the world.
Rourke’s Reviews The Deer Hunter ■ 40th Anniversary Edition (MA). 183 minutes. Available on Blu-ray and DVD September 26. The five-time Oscar winning classic is coming back to blu-ray and DVD, in a stunning 4K restoration which sees the film looking as good as it did when first released here in February of 1979. The story, involving three lifelong Pennsylvanian friends (Robert De Niro, ChristopherWalken, John Savage) and their harrowing experiences during the Vietnam War, encompasses so much more than its relevant, anti-war sentiment. The level of detail given to the American small town community (which also includes John Cazale, George Dzundza, ChuckAspegren and Meryl Streep, in only her second film) is exceptional, with screenwriter Deric Washburn and director Michael Cimino examining the multi-cultural melting pot that is America, and how it is still attempting to weave all these various cultural tapestries together (Cimino continued to look at these themes in Heaven's Gate and Year Of The Dragon). It also explores the nature of man, and his predilection for conflict and violence, and how war is truly insane. The infamous russian roulette scenes attracted much criticism, but perfectly symbolise, with terrifying intensity, the random brutality of war, and how it fractures and destroys the people on the front line, no matter which side they are on. The performances are outstanding (Walken won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor), and technically the film is magnificent. Cimino received the Academy Award for Best Director, but would soon be ostracised by Hollywood after his unfairly-maligned Heaven's Gate notoriously failed critically and commercially two years later (he was unable to get a film off the ground between 1996 right through to the year of his death in 2016). This excellent two disc set is a must-own, offering a beautiful presentation of a movie that remains powerful, moving, and unforgettable. RATING - *****
Zama ■ (M). 115 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas September 27. After an almost 10-year hiatus, Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel (The Headless Woman) returns to the big screen with Zama, a thoughtful, deliberately paced drama that shows she hasn't lost her masterful, delicate command of the medium. Set in the 17th century, the film centres on Spanish officer Don Diego de Zama (Daniel Gimenez Cacho), stationed at a remote village in Asuncion, who desperately wants a transfer back to Buenos Aires and his wife and children. The local magistrate, Zama is seen as somewhat of a fool, continually undermined by colleagues,
women of interest, and the natives. When everyone but him seems to be getting the call home, Zama takes matters into his own hands, but like previous efforts to leave, it all becomes a comedy of errors. Martel captures a time and place with skill, and visualises the slow crumbling of a colonised location (and people) in quiet, growingly surreal fashion, made all the more involving with a precisely injected thread of self-reflective humour. It does remind one of Jauja (2014), starring Viggo Mortensen. Cacho is first-rate as Zama, and cinematographer Rui Pocas (Tabu) captures both the beauty of the natural environment and the invasive eyesores created by those who tried to conquer it. RATING - ****
Mandy ■ (MA). 121 minutes. Now showing at selected cinemas. Though it will repel as many people as it entrances, this longawaited follow-up to director Panos Cosmatos' 2010 cult sensation Beyond The Black Rainbow, is a truly unique combination of hallucinogenic imagery, overpowering sound design, and a ferociously in-form performance from an actor who has been out-of-sorts for what seems like years now. Nicolas Cagestars as Red Miller, a lumberjack who lives with his artist girlfriend Mandy Bloom (Andrea Riseborough) at a reclusive home located in the Shadow Mountains. Their peaceful existence is shattered when Mandy is kidnapped by The Children Of The New Dawn, a satanic cult ruled with ominous authority by Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roach). When Mandy turns down Jeremiah's drug-fuelled advances, things become even nastier, eventually leading Red on a journey of violent revenge, tracking down everyone who were connected to her abduction. The plot is slight, but that isn't what interests Cosmatos (son of George P. Cosmatos, who helmed films such as Escape To Athena, Rambo : First Blood Part II, and Tombstone); what he wants to do is to immerse the viewer completely, making it an unforgettable sensory experience rather than executing a traditionally structured narrative arc. Utilising numerous techniques to startling effect, Cosamtos has achieved something both audacious and hypnotic, and for those who successfully tune in to his highly individualistic wavelength, will be rightfully rewarded, and will place this incredible work of art amongst their best cinematic visits of 2018. For everyone else, prepare yourself is probably the most apt warning I can give. RATING - ****½ - Aaron Rourke

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.

■ Judi Farr was born in Cairns, Queensland, in 1942 and has had a marvellous career as an actress working in stage, television and film over many years. Judi made her first film appearance in They're A Weird Mob in an uncredited role in 1966. Later that year Judi became well known on television as ‘Rita Stiller’in My Name's McGooley - What's Yours playing opposite Gordon Chater and John Meillon. When Gordon Chater left the show, the characters played by Judi and John Meillon were used for a new series titled Rita & Wally. Spike Milligan was a guest star in one episode but the series did not rate well and Rita & Wally finished after 23 episodes. During the 1970s Judi appeared in stage productions and guest roles in television series such as Division 4, Number 96 and Matlock Police. Kingswood Country commenced production in 1980 and Judi was cast as Thelma the long suffering wife of the outrageous Ted Bullpitt, played by Ross Higgins. Judi left the series in 1982 and was cast in a stage production of Death of a Salesman with Warren Mitchell. Judi has been constantly working in theatre. A tour of Australia and overseas with the play Cloudstreet was a highlight of her career. In 1992 she won the Theatre Critics Award for her role in Women of Troy. One of her favourite stage roles was in 1983

playing opposite Leonard Teale and Liz Harris in 84 Charring Cross Road at the Marion Street Theatre in Sydney. I would have loved to have seen that production. Over the years Judi has had some great stage roles ranging from ‘Miss Marple’ in A Murder is Announced to the maid in the classic English comedy Noises Off. Her films credits include, Fatty Finn, The Year My Voice Broke and The December Boys. In 2002 the Australian film Walking on Water won five Australian Film Institute Awards. The Best Supporting Actress Award was won by Judi Farr. In 2008 she played the maid in the stage comedy Boeing Boeing with Shaun Micallef.

■ For the second year running riesling has continued to make inroads on the red grape varieties that have traditionally the NSW Mudgee region's wines. At the recent 2018 Mudgee Wine Show, the Chairman of Judges Mike DeGaris named the Robert Stein 2016 Riesling as Champion Wine of the Show and awarded the accolade of Seguin Moreau Winemaker of the Year to Jacob Stein, the winemaker for Stein Wines and an unabashed fan of riesling. Jacob also won the inaugural version of the same award last year. Other significant award winners at the show were: Most Outstanding Red Wine: Robert Oatley Vineyards 2017 Pocketwatch Shiraz. Most Successful Exhibitor: Bunnamagoo Estate. Most Outstanding White Wine: Robert Stein 2016 Riesling. The Gil Wahlquist Perpetual Trophy For Best Organic/Biodynamic/Preservative-Free Wine: Lowe Wines 2009 Block 5 Shiraz. The Dave Robertson Memorial Trophy for the Best Cabernet: Bunnamagoo Estate 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. The Robert Stein Memorial Trophy for the Best Shiraz: Robert Oatley Vineyards 2017 Pocketwatch Shiraz. The Carlo Corino Trophy for the Best Red Wine not Shiraz or Cabernet: Bunnamagoo Estate

Govt. land sell-off: McLeish ■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish delivered a far-reaching summary of life in the electorate, when speaking in State Parliament last week: I am really pleased to make a contribution to the grievance debate, and I am also pleased to have such an audience. I am not sure where those on the government benches actually live, but I am fairly convinced it is in fairyland. My contribution today is going to focus on land sell-offs, community consultation — or lack of community consultation — and hypocrisy. With all of these things comes a key attribute of most of those on the Labor government benches, and that is arrogance. They think that they should be the ruling class. They are there for the battler, but they think that their rightful place is that of the almighty ruler. The way they carry on and treat the communities, I believe that they think they have been selected as part of a ruling class. I am going to start with the land sell-offs. There are constant land sell-offs being undertaken by the government because they are trying to raise every cent that they can. Disposal of public assets is one of the key ways they are doing that. When we have a look, we see that they are throwing money at things left, right and centre, but what really concerns me is the constant budget overruns and the lack of accountability, because it is somebody else’s money. The land sell-offs that are happening all around Victoria are one way that they are looking to boost their coffers. I am going to focus on a few areas locally that are being looked at, one of which is Green Street in Healesville. This has been used as a community space for quite some time, and there has been a bit of debate within the community about the best way forward for that space. There is a community market that happens frequently in that space. It is a very well patronised market, and there are a number of people in town who would like to see this continue. The council were not quite sure, so they went out and did some consultation around this. There were, as I said, various opinions. They were led to believe that they were going to get this land at a reasonable price, but what has happened is that they have had a valuation and it has been put at a price that the council just cannot afford, so now of course it is being flogged off and the future of that site, of who is going to buy it and what will happen to it, is under a bit of a cloud. We have in Warburton the Yarra Ranges Enterprise Centre (YREC), which has been a fabulous small collection of start-up businesses, and they have been really quite innovative. The land there, at the junction of Woods Point Road and the Warburton Highway, was Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Worksland, so it therefore falls under Melbourne Water. In fact I asked the Minister for Planning to intervene on this because it has been such a successful little start-up area that it would be a shame for the community to lose it. I understand that that is now be-

They were expecting that the plans would be underground, separating the road and rail, as has happened in other areas. This was what they were expecting. You have seen now what has happened — people are outraged. To think that they looked out their back door where there was a beautiful row of trees, and now they have been chopped down and they have got a full sky rail right at their back door. People are absolutely outraged by this and I think, again, the government has ignored the will of the community. Another example of a lack of good consultation is the rollout of the wire rope barriers that we are seeing across the state. This rollout started in my electorate. It started with a demonstration barrier on the Melba Highway. I believe they have never sought feedback about how well those barriers work and how safe it is for people entering and exiting the property there. Equally, they then went and rolled out about 8 or 10 kilometres between Yea andMolesworth — telling people how it was going to be, not really taking on any of the ideas and suggestions of the community although, at the time, they did pad the uprights as a protection mechanism for motorbikes. I notice that with subsequent rollouts, certainly down in the Gippsland area, this has not occurred. I think that they have not at all thought about possible impacts on the motorbike riders in those areas. The installation of wire rope barriers: they have been rolled out and, looking certainly between the Molesworth and Cathkin, have been extended. There is a section of road there which is extremely dangerous. It is prone to flooding. Home Creek floods all the time. The local Victoria State Emergency Service (SES) has said that it is very dangerous to put these centre wire rope barriers in this position and it will cause all sorts of issues when they have to do their rescues by boat, which happens fairly frequently because, as I said, that area is prone to flooding. However, the government in their wisdom have said, ‘No, this is all fine. The road does not need to be raised at the same time’, which would actually be a reasonable solution — to lift the road there so that the impacts from flooding are lessened. If you are going to have these wire rope barriers, it would make it a lot safer. But no, in their wisdom the government are not going to listen to anyone. They are not going to hear the experts at the SES and the Country Fire Authority who deal with rescues on this stretch of road all the time. They know better, and I think that is another fine example of a government full of arrogance and, certainly, one of great hypocrisy. I have been quite appalled to see the way this government behave. However it is a complete reflection of how they behaved with the north–south pipeline, which upset my community greatly.

‘We have been getting stuff done’: Green ■ Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green gave a trademark aggressive speech last week in State Parliament about her political opponents: It is my great pleasure to join the last grievance debate for the 58th Parliament. I am pleased to be heading towards my fifth election and having the great privilege of representing the electorate of Yan Yean. Today I grieve for my community should it have to suffer the misfortune, the indignity and the deprivation of a Guy-led Liberal government after November 24, because the best determinant of future behaviour is past behaviour. (Mr Pearson interjected.) That is what Dr Phil says, member for Essendon. When those opposite last sat on the government benches the opposition leader, as the Minister for Planning and a member for Northern Metropolitan Region in the upper house, oversaw rampant development in the north. Accompanying that we saw zero infrastructure. At the 2010 election the Liberal Party in Yan Yean went to the election promising exactly zero infrastructure, and they delivered that in spades. They actually delivered some very unpleasant surprises that they did not tell the electorate about before they got in. They delivered massive cuts to education, which meant that a muchneeded secondary college, Mernda Central College, was not built on the land that had been purchased for that purpose in 2009. That meant that the land that was funded in the 2010 budget for a standalone Doreen Secondary College in Cooks Road, Doreen, did not happen. We are still feeling the legacy of that to this day with Hazel Glen College, which is a fantastic P–10 school with 3000 students. It is the largest single-campus school in the country, and it is the legacy of those opposite not because they built it but because they built nothing, and we have had to catch up on that. They spent not one dollar on arterial roads in the north — not YanYean Road, not Plenty Road, not Bridge Inn Road, not Epping Road, not Childs Road and not Craigieburn West Road. All of those roads are underway or in the pipeline under this government, not under those opposite. What we do know about the then Minister for Planning and now Leader of the Opposition is that when he was planning minister it was all about cuts and cosying up to corporations. The whole Ventnor saga has been ventilated in recent weeks and people are finally finding out the truth about that disgraceful cover-up and waste of government money. He himself said, ‘If people find out about this, if it goes to the courts, I won’t be in my job’. I do not ever want to see him as planning minister or as the leader of this state because it would be bad for this whole state and it would be bad for the community that I represent. I want to commend the member for Eltham for the outstanding job that she has done over the past four years. It has been an absolute delight working in partnership with her, and

tion to standing order 119 about the use of unparliamentary language. While the member is entitled to speak with some energy about whatever arguments she wishes to raise, she should be using appropriate language in this house, and I ask you to bring her back to order. The Acting Speaker (Mr Carbines) — I ask the member for Yan Yean to continue her contribution being mindful of her commentary on other individuals. Ms Green — I have an opponent who is trying to mislead people by saying that the Liberal Party are in fact going to duplicate the rail line beyond Eltham, that they actually do give a damn beyond Eltham. We have a plan that will deliver 20-minute services from Diamond Creek,Wattle Glen and Hurstbridge — and it will not to blow up the green wedge and it will not wreck our parkland. There are already two platforms at Diamond Creek. There will be a duplication of track between Diamond Creek and Wattle Glen, and that simple duplication will mean that we can deliver those services. What the Liberal plan also does not say is that we need a new train station at Greensborough. We need a new bus interchange so that buses can turn around quickly and we can have rail and bus services that are quick and effective. We know that on the watch of those opposite they only ever cut public transport. I am also very suspicious of the $20 million for recreational facilities in Hurstbridge. I support the development of recreational facilities in Hurstbridge. Goodness knows why the council have not supported the upgrade of female friendly facilities at the Hurstbridge Football and Netball Club. It would not take very much at all. They are hanging by their fingernails to division 1, but the council does not think about that. Then they want $20 million for other recreational facilities for a township where the population is declining. What that says to me is that they are trying to develop things in those townships and provide the justification to open up the green wedge, to let it rip. The Leader of the Oppositionhas been on the public record in the Herald Sun on at least two occasions saying that he believed that Wattle Glen was a prime place for development. What we would have, if those opposite got in, are cuts to education and no investment in roads, and we would have rampant development through the green wedge. That would ruin the character of the north-eastern suburbs and it would do nothing for jobs. So I grieve if those opposite — especially an opposition led by the member for Bulleen, the former planning minister — were ever to take office. I will do everything within the fibre of my being while there is breath in my body to make sure that Yan Yean stays in Labor hands. I will be working in lock step with the member for Eltham, and I will be telling the member for Eildon the error of their ways, that they still do not listen to her and they never will.

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.

C-GRADE A nervous start by both teams with early turnovers by both teams as the girls got themselves into the game. Both attacking combinations worked well with Fiona and Rhi converting well and Deb and Ellie creating great pressure in defence. Yea 6 Sev 13 Yea’s mid court of Jordan and Maggie settled into their work and Rach in WD got a few turnovers in an even quarter. Yea 18 Sev 23 Yea started to generate momentum in this quarter and more turnovers resulted in Yea gaining ground on their opponents. Deb and Sarah now getting on top and Rhi and Fi are finding their range. Yea 30 Sev 35 The last quarter was simply amazing. The Yea girls were flawless. They as a team created massive pressure on the opposing team and put together the most remarkable quarter of Netball to win the game by 6 goals. Yea 45 Seville 39. Best on Court. Fiona Purvis ★ B-GRADE The girls faced a big challenge coming up against the minor premier and more fancied Seville. We made a nervous start as Seville settled quickly. Yea 8 Seville 15. Mel made some positional changes in an attempt to gain some momentum but Seville applied serious pressure on the ball carrier and we were unable to make any ground. Cin and Loz toiled away looking for turnovers and Meh and Hayesy made the most of limited chances. Yea 19 Seville 26 Thirrd Quarter saw our defenders gain the upper hand with Sarah and Reggie swooping on any loose ball. Our shooters found it difficult to find space in the ring. Yea 30 Seville 36 The last quarter didn’t go our way as we tried to chase the lead down against a more polished team. Soph and Kate continued strong drives but opportunities were limited. Yea 34 Seville 48. ★ A-GRADE. Yea defeated Kinglake two weeks ago to book a place in the Grand Final but we had lost to them twice during the season. Our attackers in Nikki and Mel worked very well together while Leathal and Rach exerted massive pressure on their goalers. Yea 15 Kinglake 11 Kinglake started blocking our space and their goalers began to find their range despite Gabby and Kath working well in the mid court. Yea 22 Kinglake 26 Lots of pressure on the ball in the third. Spag came on and had immediate impact. Leathal Gab and Mel were great with their physical pressure and Nik kept gosling as we grabbed some ascendancy. Yea 35 Kinglake 33 In the most intense quarter of A-Grade for a long time the lead swapped between the two teams as pressure resulted in turnovers for both teams. The team as a whole were terrific and refused to let this one slip and won the first A grade flag for Yea in over 30 years. Yea 45 Seville 44 Best On Court. Gabby Duncan. - Brad Watts

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT The East Central District Rifle Association conducted its annual 303 shoot at the Violet Town range last Saturday. Members and friends dusted off these old rifles that ruled the range in the 1950’s and were the rifle that the Anzacs depended on in both world wars. Andrew Braden organised the shoot and provided the following report of the shoot. "The weather was perfect for the shoot. The morning was cool and sunny, with a breeze springing up just before lunch. The afternoon saw the breeze continue, but it did not have much effect on the shooting. The day started with a zero check at 100yd.s which was followed by the first match at 36yd.s. This was standing and consisted of five rounds delibrate, followed by five rounds rapid. Lunch followed, then it was 300yd.s. for the second match. This was a ten shot delibrate from the prone position. Some Classic Class competitors decided to try their hand at Service Class during the second match, which was followed by much mutterings about sight pictures with the open sights. The third match found the remaining competitors at 200yd.s where they could either sit or kneel. Again, it was a ten shot delibrate. Geoff James and Norm Linehan tried their luck at 300yd.s with mixed results. Geoff retired having put three shots on the wrong target. Norm punched out a twenty round string for a 94.9, which included a shot on the wrong target towards the end of his shoot. All in all, the weather was good, and everyone seemed to have fun with the old sticks”.
