■ Murrindindi Shire Council has begun its Fire Prevention Slashing Program.

This is in preparation for a predicted early start to the fire season.

"At this stage, the plan is for the Fire Prevention Slashing Program to kick off in the Alexandra and Eildon areas and then move on to the Taggerty, Yarck, Molesworth, Yea and Highlands areas from mid-October.

“Early November will see slashing begin in the Strath Creek, Flowerdale and Glenburn areas,” said Cr McAulay.

“The majority of Marysville's fire prevention woks are completed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

"Following feedback from the community, tractors and slashers will start work in the Kinglake Ranges area much earlier than normal, with the Program scheduled to be completed in that area in early December.

“In previous years slashing in the Kinglake Ranges has not usually occurred until mid-January.

■ European wasps are becoming active.

Murrindindi Shire Council is urging the community to join in the effort to minimise the impact of these pests before they start breeding as the weather warms.

Natural Environment and Climate Change Portfolio Councillor for Murrindindi Shire Council, Rebecca Bowles, said there has been a couple of particularly bad wasp seasons in the recent past.

"European wasps can be identified by their bright yellow and black stripe bandings and are often found hovering around food and drinks,” Cr Bowles said.

“These pests have ruined more than a few family barbeques in the last couple of years though.

“They have had a real impact on our businesses because they put people off enjoying our outdoor spaces.

"In their natural European habitat, entire wasp colonies die off over the cold winters, leaving just the Queen alive to breed once the weather warms up again.

“That's why it is so important to trap and destroy Queen wasps early.

“In some cases, our relatively mild winter temperatures have enabled whole wasp colonies to survive the winter when normally only the Queen wasp would - this can increase our wasp population each year.

"Council officers will be trapping Queen wasps in our public spaces but we are calling on the community for their assistance to manage this shared problem.

Slashing begins

"This season, our Community Safety officers will also be inspecting residential properties throughout the Shire and working with landowners to ensure they maintain their property's fuel load in an effort to reduce fire risk.

“We all need to work together to manage grass and fire risks during the fire danger period," Cr McAulay said.

"Keep in mind, as with all works schedule, days and times of these works may vary according to weather conditions. We'll keep you updated with the slashing schedule via www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au/slashingprogram though," Cr McAulay said.

For more information, contact Council's Community Safety Unit on 5772 0333.

A visitor to Yea writes: “I had the misfortune of buying a cup of coffee this morning for $4 but was charged a 0 cent surcharge for using my EFTPOS card. (12.5 per cent) I called back through after being to Silvan for a job and went to another two shops and had the same experience (I refused to buy them on principle). Apart from being illegal it is downright rude, particularly when they advertise a price then take the extra without the opportunity to retract.”

■ Murrindindi Shire Council has achieved a $2.61 million surplus for the 2017-18 financial year,whilst originally planning for a $540,000 defict.

“The operating surplus posted for the financial year of $2.61 million was largely the result of increased revenue of $2.59 million,” said a Council report.

Cr Leigh Dunscombe said: “This includes $544,557 of un-budgeted capital grants that have been received which can be attributed to the strong advocacy work undertaken by Councillors and Council officers throughout the year.

Remembering Russell ■ There will be a graveside remembrance for Russell Stacpool this Sunday (Oct. 7) from 12 Noon. It will be one year since Russell died.

“There will be a esky of Coronas waiting for anyone that wants to have a drink with Russell and me at the Yea Cemetery,” says Jacky Gilbee (Stac-pool), mother of Russell.

“I’m also seeking support for our own World SuicideAwareness Walk here in Yea for all people of the Murrundindi Shire to attend held every year on or around September 10,” says Jacky.

“Closest walk to here is Woodend which I attended. It is well run and great support from all who attended.

“The next closest is Melbourne, then Albury, way too far for residents of the Murrindindi Shire.”

Suicide is a complex human behaviour that cannot easily be predicted; a range of factors has been shown to contribute to it.

From all the evidence the conclusion is that there is no single reason to explain why a person ends their life.

There are complex, multiple factors involved in suicide and suicidal behaviour.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics figures released last year say there were 2866 deaths registered as suicide, nearly eight per day.

This is greater than the road toll.

There were 2151 men (75 per cent), 715 women (25 per cent).

The highest rate remains males aged 85 and over, followed by men aged 30-34, then males 40-45.

Many children lose a father to suicide.

Suicide is the leading cause of death for people aged 15-44.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are twice as likely to die by suicide

than non-indigenous people.

In Victoria, in 2016, there were 622 deaths registered as suicide.

Research undertaken by the Centre of Adolescent Health and others has demon-

strated thre factors in particular that stand out as antecedents of suicide in the young.

They are: ■ Prior attempt or deliberate, severe selfharm.

A past history of attempted suicide has been shown to be a strong predictor of future death by suicide.

There is evidence to show young people engaging in severe self harm are also at higher risk of suicide.

■ Mental illness.

Mental illness, in its broadest sense, includes emotional, psychological and behavioural disorders of which depression is the most common.

Mood disorders have consistently been found to be associated with suicidal ideation, attempts and completed suicide.

■ Drug and alcohol abuse.

Many studies have found higher rates of suicide among those with alcohol and/or substance abuse issues.

Many of the physiological, psychological and social effects of severe alcohol abuse (relationship breakdown, disruption of social ties, impairment of work performance and coping skills, lowering of normal restraints on bheaviour, increased impulsiveness and depresion) would reasonably be expected to increase the likelihood of suicidal behaviour. ★ Suicideline: 1300 651 251 Lifeline: 13 11 14 Griefline: 03 9935 7400 Mensline: 1300 789 978 KidsHelpline: 1800 551 800 Compassionate Friends Country: 1800 641 091

1920s in High Street, Yea

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 October 1988

Cr disqualified

■ Steve Fleming was disqualified from office as a Yea Shire Councillor, following a theft charge being proven against him at Yea Magistrates’ Court in 1988.

Mr Fleming had refused to resign from the position. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Magistrate Reg McAllister said he was satisfied that Cr Fleming had taken from a roadside stack - owned by Yea Shire - at Kinglake.

Mr Fleming said he had taken the first load of gravel to fill a pot-hole in Nichol’s Lane, and used five subsequent trailer loads of the oil-coated aggregate on his own driveway at The Ridge, Kinglake.

He was placed on a $300 12-month good behaviour bond.

Governor visits ■ Rotary District Governor Brian Bowen was preparing to make his official visit to the Rotary Club of Yea, 30 years ago.

Flowerdale needs ■ Thirty years ago, Cr Lyn Gunter thanked Flowerdale residents for their participation in a community needs survey.

There was a 90 per cent return on the survey which showed a concern about the development and future of the valley, Cr Gunter said.

Tennis season open

■ Cr Peter Hauser officially opened the 1988-89 tennis season, with more than 25 adults and junior participating in a tournament.

Winners on the day included John Handsaker, Dean McKenzie, Pauline Lloyd, Judy Evans and Lyndal O’Halloran.

Local links

■ Derek Allen, son of Mrs Flora Allen, of Ghin Ghin, made international headlines when he announced himself as Australian head of the Canadian election ‘fun’ party, the Rhionoceros Party.

The Party wanted to repeal the law of gravity, have body language as the sole language taught in schools, and pay off the national debt with credit cards.

Kinglake works

■ Terry Lawless, Captain of the Kinglake Fire Brigade, reported that work had started on a 45,000-litre water storage tank on the corner of Bald Spur Rd and Main Rd. The tank was being paid for by the Shire of Eltham, and the Brigade would be responsible for keeping the tank full at all times.

Vale Dr Sinclair ■ Thirty years ago, our newspaper carried bereavement notices for DrAlexander John Maum Sinclair, who died as ‘Nutfield’, Molesworth.

He was father of Jill, John and Roger; father-in-law of Gavin, Clare and Pamela; grandfather of Catherine and Paul; Georgia, Elizabeth, Merran, Richard, Stephen, Nicola, Anna, James and Lucy. A service was held at the Uniting Church, Toorak.

Master plan essential for Christmas Hills ■ Sally Brennan, the Labor candidate for Eildon, has added her voice to ensure that the master planning process being undertaken by Melbourne Water adequately reflects the views and expectations of the residents of Christmas Hills.

Ms Brennan says Labor does not support the creation of new dams, so she believes it is important to remove the uncertainty that Christmas Hills residents have lived with for decades and zone the land appropriately.

Melbourne Water has been running a process to develop a master plan for the area, and there are many ideas for how the future of Christmas Hills is planned.

The development of this master plan is the first step in a process that will also involve an independent planning process, Ms Brennan says.

Ms Brennan has raised the community's concerns directly with the Minister for Water, and Ms Brennan is calling on Melbourne Water to engage further with the community to understand these views.

Ms Brennan is calling on Melbourne Water to take a long term view within the context of what is best for Christmas Hills, what is best for the environment and what's best the long term future of the land.

Members of the community have spoken to me and clearly seek input into a process that will ensure proper planning for the future, consolidation and enforcement of the Green Wedge legislation and the values that underpin it, and protection of both the environment and farming land,” Ms Brennan said.

"This is their community, and the people who live here are the most important voice of all.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to identify, develop and protect the legacy that the people of Christmas Hills wish to leave for the future . I want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to have their voice heard,” Ms Brennan said.

Rates and Revenue Coordinator Band 7. Fixed term role (6 months) Are you a rating professional seeking a next step or new challenge? Why not consider this great opportunity to lead this small but dedicated team?

Set in a beautiful rural location within easy distance from Melbourne, the commute is a breeze and the air is clean. This is a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in our friendly and safe communities. This temporary role may have opportunity to extend in the future.

The rates and revenue unit consists of three people and reports to the Manager Business Services, but also works closely with our Management Accountant to: ■ Coordinate Council’s rates and valuations ■ Oversee Council’s property data and property certificates ■ Maintain the voter roll ■ Lead quality rates related customer service and ensure resolution If you have experience in a local government rating environment, strong interpersonal and problem resolution skills, financial and resource management experience, great attention to detail and the ability to manage a fast paced service, we are keen to hear from you. Experience in the Civica Authority Rates Module is an advantage.

Applications should be addressed to the General Manager Corporate and Shared Services.

Further information about the position can be obtained at www.murrindindi.vic.au/jobs or by calling Stephen Mortensen on 5772 0303.

You can submit your application and any accompanying attachments: online – you will receive an email notification confirming your submission by email to msc@murrindindi.vic.gov.au.

Applications close: 5pm Wednesday, October 17.

What The Papers Say Respects paid

■ Veteran members of the Military Brotherhood of the Military Motor Cycle Clubvisited Nagambie and took part in a short but solemn ceremony at the cenotaph to commemorate those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Vietnam War, and in conflicts they have been involved in ever since.

They laid red Remembrance poppies on the cenotaph in the memorial gardens.

The cyclists were all veterans except one who is still serving in the army at Puckapunyal, while a couple of the members served in the navy.

$1.3m overcharge

■ Mansfield Shire has been overcharging ratepayers for their wastage service for the last 10 years, to the tune of $1.3 million a year.

It comes off the back of a well-publicised case in Wodonga that was recently exposed by the Ombudsman, who found that Wodonga Council’s practice of engineering a surplus through extra waste disposal rates, and not using all of that money for waste dispoal, was at odds with the intent of the Local Government Act. Mansfield Shire’s own overcharging was spotlighted at this year’s budget meeting when the local VFF asked Council if the Shire had been doing the same.

- Mansfield Courier

Champions win

■ A Whittlesea supermarket might be the luckiest store in the state, with yet another of the store’s customers winning the Champions IGA Grand Grocery Giveaway.

Whittlesea resident Francesca Perta won the first of five $1000 grocery vouchers to be won by customers across the group’s nine stores every week.

- Whittlesea Review

Giant Steps

■ Giant Steps Wine was a big winner at the Yarra Valley Wine Show Trophy Presentation Dinner.

Rochford Wines hosted more than 200 guests at the Langton’s event on Thursday, September 13.

Healesville’s Giant Steps received six trophies including Most Successful Exhibitor.

Labor’s big spend

■ ‘Tis The Season for election promises, and the Andrew’s Labor Party has brought out a doozy, the Suburban Rail Loop, which will form an outer ring around Melbourne, and importantly for the area, provide a station at Doncaster, finally linkingManningham into the rail network.

This is not the Doncaster Rail that has long been called for, but combined with the Bus Rapid Transit service that has been proposed to run along the promised Eastern Freeway upgrade incorporated with the North East Link, this could be good news for Warrandyte commuters.

It is unusual in recent times for governments to commit to such a long-term project, as the four-year election cycle does not often reward such far-sighted policy.

- Warrandyte Diary

Nick was speaker

■ Brigadier Nick Jans (Ret’d), OAM, PhD, was invited to the Lions Club of Marysville meeting to speak on his recently released book titled Leadership Secrets of the Australian Army.

Nick praised Lions members and the local community for the way that everyone pulled together during the aftermath of Black Saturday, and the achievements since, even commenting on how quickly the Triangle News was available.

Nick served in the Australian Regular Army in field artillery, training and personnel policy development, and was then a reservist for many years.

From Our 1918 Files

Yarra Glen

■ On Wednesday, 18th ult., several girl friends of Miss Ivy MacPherson aranged a kitchen tea in the Victoria Hall, prior to her marriage to MrAlan Bell.

The first part of the evening was spent in music and games and after supper dancing was indulged in. A large number of very useful presents were received.

Yea needed C’tee

■ The need of a Returned Soldiers' Welcome Home Committee was once more brought into evidence on Saturday night. when one of our invalided soldiers had to be welcomed home by an almost stranger to the town. The fault did not lay with the people.

They did their part by turning up at the railway station in good numbers. as also did the Salvation Army Band. Neither could fault be found with the hearty, genuineness of the welcome home accorded the returned soldier, or the neat little speech made by the recruiting organiser, which embodied the sentiments of every one present-and not present, but it would be much nicer if a committee of prominent residents was formed, and repesentative speakers appointed to welcome home those who had gone forth to fight for us, risking their lives for our benefit.

Peculiar post

■ Miss Meyers, of Trawool, supplies us with an instance of the carelessness of some of the postal officials, upon whose efficiency Mr Webster, Postmaster-General, prides himself.

About four months ago, whilst she was on a visit to Adelaide, she post ed a letter to her sister at Trawool. In due course it arrived at its destination (on Saturday last), after an adventurous voyage. Although the envelope was plainly addressed to "Miss Meyers, Trawool Hotel, Trawool, Victoria," the Adelaide postal officials adopted the plan, which is becoming one of the peculiarities of the department, of sending the missive on a most circuitous route—via South Africa.

After a period of nine or ten weeks it reached Victoria, and finally found its way into the Trawool Hotel mail box. In the meantime the writer of the letter, after enjoying a lengthy stay in the South Australian capital, had returned home, and thus had the unusual pleasure of reviewing her own letter, but the part which gave her the most satisfaction were the postscrips which were inscribed on the envelope on its tour round the world.

Hearts are Trumps

■ On Wednesday evening of last week the YeaAmateur Dramatic Society gave one of their over welcome dramatic entertainments, in the shire hall, Alexnndra, under the auspices of the Alexandra Tennis Club it is needless to say they played up to their well-earned reputation. The hall was well filled with an appreciative audience which inspired the actors to their highest effort. The piece was a three at comedy called Hearts are Trumps.

Behind quota THEWAR LOAN Healesville Still Behind Its Quota The time for investing in the Seventh War Loan is drawing near its close, and Healesville is still between two.and three thousand behind its quota. The total asked for by the Treasurer from this shire was £8000, and so far about £5000 has been promised to the various authorised agents

Alexandra P and A

■ Before the meeting was held on Satur.day last, the booths were sold publicly by auction

by MrG. A. Cookson. The publican's booth was knocked down to Mr M. Cruise for £8, this being the only bid. Mr G. Puckey secured the lolly and fruit stall for £2. For the luncheon and tea right there was no bid. The committee meeting was held in the shire hall.

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.

Local shooters in good form

● Geoff James takes aim at the target 1000 yards away with (Left to Right) Graeme Kerr and ECDRA Captain Marty Kelly coaching. Geoff, Past President and Captain of ECDRA, will celebrate his 83rd birthday this week.

Letter to the Editor:

Thanks to Country Club owner John Sir, It was a great AFL Grand Final between West Coast and Collingwood, which was a spectacle, as it should be.

I would like to convey our thanks to the publican of the Country Club Hotel in Yea, John Drysdale, for the fantastic food / drinks he supplied to Tipping Club members.

This was arranged by John about two weeks prior to the start of the footy season at my request, and he assures me he will definitely have the tipping next year, and will start a lot earlier, But what a great effort at short notice by John and his sxtaff, with five big screen TVs around the hotel.

Once again well done to you and your staff.

- Ken and Lorraine Howson, Yea

● Craig Lapsley

● ECDRA’s David Wallace takes aim at 1000 yards with (from left) ECDRA Captain Marty Kelly and Graeme Kerr keeping close watch on the wind in case there is a change of strength or direction. Those white smudges in the distance are the targets. Note the wind flag at 700 yards standing straight out from the pole, the red and yellow slashes of colour are the wind flags placed down the range. The strength of the wind gives the hint as to why the off-rifle scores were well down this week.

■ Robert Chaffe reports: The East Central District Rifle Association Inc team was in good form going into the final round of the Chas Hayes Memorial long range pennant competition, the final round being two stages of 10 scoring shots over 1000 yards.

Karramomus Club has taken out the 2018 Chas Hayes Memorial with a total of 13 points to ECDRA 12 points followed by Shepparton Nathalia on 10, Nagambie 7 and Katandra 2.

A close second and for the first time in six years the ECDRA did not win the Chas Hayes, it was a close go in the end with the result going down to the very last stage of the competition. 1000 had shooting requires the application of every element of long distance target shooting as the wind and light play a very important role in the outcome of the shoot.

The light was perfect very clear and bright, perhaps a little on the too bright at times as the shooters looked down the range at the white 2400mm X 1800mm targets with a 1120mm diameter black aiming mark with a 127mm diameter maximum scoring zone for F class and 255mm diameter maximum scoring zone for Target rifle.

Right on time the match got underway and the first shooters took to the shooting mound.

Immediately the shooters knew they were in trouble.

The black aiming mark suddenly became a grey smudge through the telescopic sights and the flare off the white target glared back at Target Rifle shooters making it difficult to see the target through their peep sights.

The wind decided was going to be part of this final and started to change direction without notice, not much but enough to move the bullets up to 400 mm the target.

Yes 3s and 4s were soon coming up on the score sheets. The match continued and it was clear that the telescopic sights were on level pegging with the steel peep sights and the match was going to be in the hands of the coaches.

Geoff James had the rags-to-riches story as he started to shoot his shots missed the target. Captain Marty quickly got Geoff off the shooting mound while a team of club experts descended on Geoff and his rifle. The first issue was for him to continue and Terry Gee offered his rifle and Geoff could relax and sort out his rifle. Geoff got his first round in a couple of shooters later and as he had used his "sighting shots" he had no room for error he quickly got into the swing go things as was good enough to make the team at the end of the shoot. The ECDRA total off- rifle results were: Terry Gee 110.3, Marty Kelly 106.1, David Wallace 104.2, Neale Hambridge 103.4, Brian Houlihan 100.4, Bob Irving 100.4, Geoff James 100.1, Graeme Kerr 99.3, Rosco Davis 97.3 and Vaughn Murphy 92.0. The adjusted team scores, as approved by the offical scorer, were: Shepparton / Nathalia 557.21, Karramomus 547.25, ECDRA 539.14 and Nagambie 536.24. The only thing left for the pennant competition is the presentation night scheduled for November 1, but this could change due to conferences being held in Mooroopna at or about this time.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

Birthday of International Hotelier

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

Alan Johnson celebrates

■ It was a huge day in West Hollywood as we celebrated Alan Johnson's birthday. Alan is your typical hotelier and always serves the guests first and makes sure they are comfortable in the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites.

This time we got to celebrate all of what Alan Johnson has brought to West Hollywood. The many hospitality awards that he has received, indicates that Alan is on top of his game.

Most of his loyal and trusted Ramada staff, many have been with him for over 35 years, all got to celebrate with him.

To wrap up the birthday celebrations it was on to the Palm Restaurant in Beverly Hills where Alan was special guest with all his corporate and personal friends.

It was a long day of celebrating and to say thank you for a job well done.

Alan is pictured at the Palm Restaurant in Beverly Hills some with some of his closest friends in Los Angeles.

Fly me to the Moon, Elon ■ Elon Musk's SpaceX sells passenger seats on proposed moon trip to Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa who will be the first private passenger to fly around the moon on SpaceX's Big Falcon Rocket.

Maezawa, who founded online retailers Start Today and Zozotown and, is one of Japan's richest citizens, purchased all passenger seats on the flight.

He said he intends to give the other seats to "six to eight artists from around the world," who will then create works inspired by the journey upon their return.

SpaceX did not disclose how much Maezawa will pay for the voyage other than that the amount is "significant," and that he has, so far, made a down payment.

Maezawa's trip still depends on whether or not the vessel, which will be funded in part by his payments, is completed.

Musk also said it will stand 387 feet tall, with front actuator fins and three back wings that will also serve as functional landing pads.

SpaceX is currently working on a prototype in a temporary facility located at the port of Los Angeles. Musk said that the total development cost of the rocket is expected to be around $5 billion.

Small Emmy audience

■ Final ratings are in for the Primetime Emmy Awards. The NBC special's 2.4 rating and 10.172 million total viewers officially makes the show the lowest-rated and least-watched Emmys of all-time.

But hey, a couple got engaged on the show.

Last year's show drew 11.38 million total viewers to CBS, which means the decline from 2017 to 2018 was 10.6 percent.

The Stephen Colbert-hosted version received a 2.5 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic.

Both of those prior-year stats were all-time lows at the time, though the overall audience count technically marked a tie with 2016. They've both since been eclipsed (in the wrong direction) now.

‘Fear’ breaks records

■ Fear, Bob Woodward's inside look at the Trump White House, has broken its publisher's record for first-week sales, Simon and Schuster has announced.

The publishing house said that Fear sold more copies in ebooks, audio books, and print copies in its first week, which was the top mark in its 94-year history. Simon and Schuster didn't disclose its previous seven-day record holder.

"There is only one word to describe the sales of Fear and that word is huge," Jonathan Karp, president and publisher of Simon & Schuster, said in a statement.

"What's especially gratifying is the appreciation readers and reviewers have for the integrity and importance of Bob Woodward's reporting."

The book's content is taken from hundreds of hours of interviews with aides, first-hand participants and witnesses conducted on "deep background," as well as from meeting notes, personal diaries and government documents. President Trump himself did not sit down for an interview with Woodward.

Fear portrayed Trump as a disorganized and unprepared commander-in-chief with the president's cabinet members often

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is described as frequently losing his temper, telling colleagues that the president is "unhinged," Woodward wrote. "He's an idiot. It's pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails," Kelly said in one small meeting, according to Woodward. "We're in Crazy Town. I don't even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I've ever had."

■ Americans eat approximately 350 slices of pizza per second.

■ The word "pizza" means, "pie" in Italian.

■ While pizza in some form has been baked since antiquity, the first "official" pizzeria opened in Naples around 1830.

■ Samuel Morse, an American most famous for inventing the telegraph, noted that pizza was a "nauseating cake" that looked like "a piece of bread that had been taken reeking out of the sewer."

■ In America, annual pizza sales exceed $28 billion a year.

■ More than three billion pizzas are sold every year in the United States alone.

■ Pizza is the second-leading source of calories in the diet of American children, second behind grain desserts, such as cookies and other carb-heavy treats.

■ More than five billion pizzas are sold each year worldwide.

■ Halloween unseated Super Bowl Sunday as the biggest pizza day of the year.

■ Thanksgiving is the day Americans eat the least amount of pizza.

Roseanne killed by pills ■ Roseanne Barr says her character will be dead when ABC's Roseanne spinoff The Conners debuts later this year.

After Barr was abruptly fired by ABC over a racist tweet earlier this year, it had previously been unclear how the show's once-titular character's absence would be explained.

ABC still has made no formal announcements about the show's plans but Barr now says she knows how it will play out.

"Oh ya, they killed her. They have her die of an opioid overdose," Barr said in an interview with YouTuber Brandon Straka over the weekend.

Barr's on-screen husband, John Goodman, previously said that Roseanne would likely be killed off the show, but revealed no details.

When asked last month about his own character's future on the spinoff, Goodman said things were still "unknown."

"I guess he'll be mopey and sad because his wife's dead," he suggested at the time.

Local History

Tiger Moth lands at Flowerdale ● From The History of Flowerdale, compiled by Gaye Hine (1992) MEMORIES BY MARY MILDREN (McVEAN) - Continued ■ One of the highlights of the early 1940s was an emergency landing of a Tiger Moth plane on ‘Rowe’s Flats’, just north of the school. This caused great excitement.

Another was a fire which started Christmas Day in 1951 in our hay shed and burnt rapidly over tinder dry paddocks towards the forestry area but was stopped 50 metres from our boundary.

During the war there was an Italian Prisoner-of-War Camp at Kinglake West and occasionally prisoners became lost and had to be returned to camp.

Big changes came when the Byrnes subdivided their land into weekend home sites, closely followed by Dick Frey doing the same.

I remember a lot of resentment over these plans, but to no avail.

These subdivisions changed the face of the Valley from a quiet rural area to semi suburbia, as it is today.

The King Parrot Creek used to be quite a large rushing stream and obviously not large enough for the population of today.

During the war years, the local postmasters were issued with charts of aeroplane descriptions - our own and enemy planes.

The children of the Post Office became quite expert in identification and passed their expertise on to the other school children.

All commubnities formed their V.D.C. - Voluntary Defence Corps., Australia’s equivalent of Dad’s Army.

Every Sunday the members and families would meet - usually at Glenburn.

While the fathers practised playing soldiers, the women and children prepared a picnic lunch and a general get together and social outing.

The maintenance of the school grounds seemed to be the responsibility of the School Committee. This body of parents planted trees, built the shelter shed and fixed fences.

All children werte taught to swim and summer afternoons saw teacher and children heading for a large pool in our part of the creek with a few parents to assist as life savers.

My father had to fish Marjorie Moore out ionce when she nearly drowned.

During 1937-38 there was a serious polio epidemic and a lot of schols were closed for three months to try and stop the spread of this disease.

If strangers appeared in the district we were forbidden to go anywhere near them.

I had left the district when the State Electricity came. We had installed our own lighting plant in 1937 when our house was built.

THE CURLING FAMILY Ray Curling came from Western Australia near Perth. He came to Victoria with his family when his brother won a scholarship to Melbourne University.

Ray, who was interested in art and studying to become an artist, joined the Air Force in 1940 and got his wings at Somers.

He was sent to England to become a bomber pilot based at Milden Hall.

In more recent years, social gatherings included darts competitions, hookey, pool nights, Monday night talent quests, ladies nights, a supper night to watch Lionel Rose win the world bantam weight title on TV in 1968, Thursday night cards, and so on.

Mollie Casper hosted the first Red Cross meeting of the Flowerdale Branch at the hotel in 1970.

During the bushfires of 1969, the hotel remained open all night, supplying sandwiches and refreshments to the fire fighters.

Mrs Casper remembered business being brisk during her time in the hotel.

Christmas saw two sittings for dinner. Easter was a busy time and the many camnpers along the creek at holiday times brought good business.

Still the centre of the Flowerdale community life, the hotel was extended and boasts motel facilities and a large reception room appropriately named the ‘Peterson’ room.

As well as some of the aforementioned entertainment such as darts and pool, the Flowerdale Hotel provides ongoing entertainment for the district with bands, country and western festivals, and caters for dinner dances and all kinds of receptions.

There are many memories of dances in the hall which ran from 8pm until 12 midnight. The pianist on many occasions was Mrs Moore.

The copper would be boiled outside for tea or coffee and for many years the Rowe’s dairy supplied skim milk for the coffee.

One night the organisers took half a billy of cream by mistake, resulting in very rich coffee and a reduced cream cheque for the dairy.

In 1952, after one such dance, Mrs Joan Curling remembered being awoken by phoen to be told that the old hall had burnt down.

The community quickly formed a committee to raise funds to replace the hall.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM: Genre: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi. Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldblum, Toby Jones.

Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 128 Minutes.

Stars: **** Review: Four years after the Jurassic World theme park was closed down, Owen and Claire return to save the dinosaurs when they learn that a once dormant volcano on the island is active and is threatening to extinguish all life there, and along the way, an ulterior motive rears its head that could disrupt the natural order of the entire planet.

As far as creature-features go, flaws aside, it doesn't get any better than this!

Director J.A. Bayona, whose previous credits include the heartwrenching coming-of-age horror fantasy "A Monster Calls," the nerve shattering and chillingly gothic ghost story "The Orphanage" (2007) and the supremely harrowing historical-drama "The Impossible," has taken this running, jumping, chomping franchise and kept it well with-in its established formula, but has also made it very much his own.

A full throttle, high octane, adrenaline pumping thrill ride, there are wonderful touches throughout with nods to "Jaws" (1975), "Alien" (1979), the original "Jurassic Park" (1993), and most notably a very deliberate homage to F.W. Murnau's silent German horror 1922 gothic masterpiece "Nosferatu," which is worth the price of admission alone.

A leap forward to 2015s previous and softer "Jurassic World," as far as the plot goes it's a pretty paper thin script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, but that works in its favour, and there are a few spoilers that I won't reveal.

As you would expect, the CGI, animatronics and sets are exemplary, brought more vividly to life with a more distinct and richly textured colour palate, and the cast are all well placed and give solid performance, most notably J.A. Bayona favourite Geraldine Chaplin as a wickedly deceptive but sympathetic nanny, a bad boy Toby Jones, and a welcome, albeit brief, return from Jeff Goldblum, who clearly avoiding anything with teeth, yet may be being set up for the next instalment.

Creature features have been around almost since the dawn of film, and none are without their flaws, and this latest in a long line of classics is a dizzying, dazzling, wildly spectacular rollercoaster ride, an exciting adventure that makes cinema-going so much fun! .... and don't leave before the end credits!

FILM: THE BOOKSHOP: Genre: Drama.

Cast: Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, Patricia Clarkson, Honor Kneafsey.

Year: 2017.

Rating: M. Length: 113 Minutes.

Stars: ***1/2 Summary: Set in 1959, widow Florence Green risks everything to open up a bookshop in a sleepy seaside town in England, but she struggles to establish herself by introducing the local townsfolk to the literature of the day including Nabokov's scandalizing "Lolita" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", causing a culturally rude awakening in a town which has not changed for centuries, but her activities bring her an unlikely ally in the figure of the reclusive Mr. Brundish, who is himself sick of the town's stale atmosphere.

Delightfully quirky, visually elegant and sublimely performed, "The Bookshop" relies purely on presence, performance, the written word, setting and a period of time and change, and succeeds more than admirably for those who are willing to be whisked along by the more refined, intelligent and eloquently traditional story-telling process that cinema all too rarely offers, developing its own emotional force between the characters and dialogue from between the pages.

Sensitively and respectfully directed (by Isabel Coixet), beautifully photographed (by Jean-Claude Larrieu) and based on the novel by Penelope Fitzgerald of the same name, the stellar cast includes Emily Mortimer as the good-hearted widow, Florence Green, Bill Nighy as the lonely and mysterious, Edmund Brundish, along with Patricia Clarkson as the ambitious Mrs. Gamart and Honor Kneafsey as the young Christine. who all excel in their respective roles.

To say any more would be an injustice, as well as disrespectful to the film and to all those who have not seen it, only that, "The Bookshop" is a beguiling and beautifully restrained British period drama on the winds of change, a richly engaging, charming and poignant experience, with a haunting undercurrent on today with the fading of characters, their journey's and places in the all-too forgotten literary worlds of dreams and imagination - through the coldness of today's technological advances.

FILM: HEREDITARY: Genre: Horror/Mystery/Drama.

Cast: Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne. Alex Wolff, Ann Dowd.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 127 Minutes .

Stars: *** Verdict: When the matriarch of a family passes away, her daughter's family begins to experience strange and inexplicable events, and as they search for answers, they unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry.

Eerily unnerving and disquieting psychological horror relies largely on atmosphere, performance and patience to grip and hold attention, and succeeds for the most part, however, the films slow burning minimalistic approach at times delivers a menacing and inconsistently ambiguous effort more visually arresting than it is intellectually stimulating, and seemingly promises more along the way than it ultimately delivers with searing emotional depth.

Far removed from the slasher-horror-genre and more in reflectively and respectfully in tune with "The Sentinel" "Rosemary's Baby" "The Wicker Man," "The Shining" and "The Changeling," among others, "Hereditary" is troubling, touching, frustrating, haunting, dry, overlong, poignant, wearisome and terrifying a moody, surreal and thought provoking progression of haunted paranoia and fear with an awkward balancing act it doesn't quite get right, but either way, is sure to get under your skin.

Rourke’s Reviews American Animals ■ (M). 116 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas October 4.

Though it unfortunately becomes a case of style over substance, this heist drama, based on a true story, is still quite a bit of fun. Beginning in 2003, the story centres on Spencer Reinhard (Barry Keoghan), a Kentucky university art student who feels his life isn't amounting to anything.

During a tour at the university's special collections room, Spencer hits on an idea of how to make his life special; steal the rare art book on display, worth around $12 million.

Teaming up with wayward friend Warren Lipka (Evan Peters), and given added support by fellow students Eric Borsuk (Jared Abrahamson) and Chas Allen (Blake Jenner), the determined, if totally misguided, group come up with a plan to extract the expensive item from under the watchful eye of head librarian Betty Jean 'BJ' Gooch (Ann Dowd).

Writer/director Bart Layton, who received wide acclaim for his stranger-than-fiction 2012 documentary The Imposter, makes a confident jump to feature films, but in a quest to impress, focuses more and more on visual flourishes, leaving his screenplay rather underdeveloped, keeping his characters static, shallow creations.

This lack of depth and plot momentum makes its almost two hour running time feel excessive (the group even directly reference Kubrick's The Killing and Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, two heist flicks that are lean and efficient).

Anyone who has seen Kevin MacDonald's Touching The Void (2003) will recognise this film's blueprint straight away, where a dramatisation is interspersed with interviews and narration by the actual people who concocted the robbery.

The deliberate vagueness of what may-or-may-not-have happened is also reminiscent of the recent HBO movie The Tale (starring Laura Dern) and the underrated Tony Scott action/thriller Domino.

Performances are fine, including a very amusing cameo by iconic cult actor Udo Kier (Suspiria, Brawl In Cell Block 99).

American Animals is entertaining, but just don't look for much underneath its very slick surface.

RATING - ***

A Prayer Before Dawn ■ (R). 116 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas October 4.

In what can be glibly described as Midnight Express meets Rocky, this grim tale makes for relentlessly punishing viewing, and may prove too much for more sensitive moviegoers.

Based on a true story, the film details the experiences of Brit Billy Moore (Joe Cole), a boxer aiming for a career in Thailand, but is

hampered by his chronic drug addiction.

Arrested for selling illegal substances, Billy soon finds himself in the country's most notorious prison, and it isn't long before he sees the violence and horror up close.

Supplied with heroin by corrupt guards, Billy's life looks like it is going to end badly inside these rusty, imposing walls, but his life takes a turn once he befriends ladyboy Fame (Pornchanok Mabklang), which subsequently leads him to the prison's boxing gym.

Becoming part of the Muay Thai team, Billy starts training for the inter-prison championships, a quest that will hopefully put his mind and body back on track.

A Prayer Before Dawn is hard to watch at times, with director Jean-Stephane Sauvaire wanting to make this journey as brutal and vivid as possible, and without reverting to cheap sensationalism, has succeeded to a striking degree.

Sauvaire even cleverly keeps a good percentage of the Thai dialogue un-subtitled, to keep the audience as disorientated and intimidated as Billy is.

Performances from a largely non-professional cast are convincing (Cole was in Green Room and Peaky Blinders TV series), and technically the film is extremely well-made.

Just be prepared for what you're going into, as the film does deserve its R-rating.

RATING - ****

The Seagull

■ (M). 98 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas October 4.

Stagy and hollow, this latest adaptation of the classic Anton Chekhov play offers nothing new, making the whole enterprise feel completely redundant.

Set in the early 20th century, most of the action takes place at a Russian country estate, where we initially see family members arriving to comfort seriously ill Sorin (Brian Dennehy), including sister Irina (Annette Bening), her partner Boris Trigorin (Corey Stoll), and son Konstantin (Billy Howle).

Also among the crowd are the housekeepers, Polina (Mare Winningham) and Shamrayev (Glenn Fleshler), Doctor Dorn (Jon Tenney), and Masha (Elisabeth Moss).

When the mysterious Nina (Saoirse Ronan) secretly arrives to see Konstantin, we then flashback to two years earlier, where all manner of complications and confrontations are playing out between these characters, filled with moments that range from playful to heartbreaking.

The Seagull never breaks free from its stage origins, due to poor direction from Michael Mayer (Flicka, A Home At The End Of The World), who never injects any life, imagination or relevance into proceedings, taking the sting out of Chekhov's dialogue. This misfire only goes to show how well filmmakers such as Kenneth Branagh, Tom Stoppard, Sally Potter, and Laurence Olivier have brought other literary works to the screen, and the talent required to successfully do so.

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.

■ When I was a lad my tastes were mainly for the popular music of the day or rock and roll. I would never have believed that as I grew older I would become a fan of Gracie Fields.

Gracie Fields belonged to the generations before me but now I appreciate her singing and have recently watched her old films. I am sure that many of our readers would be fans of Gracie Fields.

Grace Stansfield was born in Lancashire in 1898 and made her professional stage debut at the age of 12 in a stage show.

Her younger sisters were Betty and Edith.

She married her manager Archie Pitt in 1923.

The theatre audiences loved Gracie.

In 1928 she recorded Because I Love You for HMV and that was the start of a recording career that would continue throughout her lifetime.

Gracie's first film in 1931 was Sally in Our Alley where she sang her hit song Sally.

The film was a huge box office success. She made four films for the Twentieth Century Fox studios but they were all filmed in England.

The film Ship Yard Sally which featured her most popular song Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye was directed by her second husband Monty Banks.

By 1937 Gracie was the highest paid film star in the world. Gracie's other films included Looking on the Bright Side, Sing as We Go, This Week of Grace and Keep Smiling.

Her films are available for purchase on the

internet. Other hit songs included The Biggest Aspidistra in the World, I Took My Harp to a Party, Now is the Hour, Christopher Robin is Saying His Prayers and When I Grow Too Old to Dream.

She spent part of the Second World War in America and went on many tours entertaining the troops in Britain, France, the Middle East and Canada. In 1945 she touredAustralia with popular Melbourne singer Peggy Shea.

When Monty Banks died in 1950 Gracie married Boris Alperovici and they lived all their married life on the Isle of Capri in Italy.

She took part in television programs after the war and in 1956 played Miss Marple in an adaption of Agatha Christie's A Murder is An-

nounced. Gracie sang in 10 Royal Variety Concerts - her last was at the age of 80, when as a surprise guest, she walked onstage and sang Sally.

My friend, the late Tony Osborne, was musical director for Gracie's last hit song in 1957, Around the World.

Tony told me that he had to go into the recording booth and tell Gracie that he could hear the sound of her false teeth clicking in his headphones as she sang. "No worries love," Gracie responded and took her teeth out to continue the recording, singing beautifully.

Her last Australian tour was in 1965 when Gracie performed at the Palais Theatre, in St Kilda.

In 1977 Gracie attended Bing Crosby's concert in Brighton and posed with him for the last photograph ever taken of Bing, he died two days later. Gracie Fields was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire just days before she passed away on the Isle of Capri in 1979. I was thrilled to see Gracie's home on a visit to Capri in 1995.

● Darren James ■ Word amongst the radio industry in Melbourne is announcers need to ask for Danger Money to work at 3AW. First of all, there was the faulty microwave incident , per courtesy of midnight to dawn announcer Tony Mo clair, when the station microwave burst into smoke and flames.

Mick invests in brewery

■ The past couple of years have been very kind to comedian Mike Malloy.

His radio program with Jane Kennedy on Triple M is rating well. Then there’s the Front Bar on Seven that has put the nails in the coffin to Nine and The Footy Show. Mick must be making a fortune.

He has just become a major investor in a new boutique brewery called Brick Lane Brewing. Along with seven other heavy hitters in the business world Mick sits on the brewery board, provided product samples are freely available. It’s not unusual for comedians to invest in booze. In the UK funny man Graham Norton owns a vineyard with international sales.

■ I'm old enough to remember when most first-class cricket matches had a rest day, quite often a Sunday to coincide with the Sabbath.

One of the really beaut things about the Adelaide Test, particularly when the English were involved was the bus trip for players and media to the Barossa to visit Yalumba.

Local News

Support for Paul Bannan ■ There has been community response to The Local Paper’s report last week that Yea man Paul Bannan will be unable to continue with his historic military re-enactments at Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day. Robert Cairns wrote: “I am heartbroken to hear of Paul's withdrawal from his involvement with the local ANZAC Day parades and display.

“I know firsthand what it means to him, actually heartbroken may be a too light a word, I am extremely annoyed.

“Annoyed that ‘certain’ supposed community folks in your area have hounded this man for nearly two years through malicious gossip, petty jealousy and now through social media.

“You are probably wondering who I am and why am I upset?

“Paul and I go back a way , so much so, it was me that he offered to donate the kidney to back in 2013, and no matter what, I could not talk him out of it, he simply did not want to see my grandson grow up without his grandfather.

“It is a gift that unless you are in that situation you could

● Paul Bannan not possibly understand its true meaning and hence very protective of this man.

“It was only by the grace of God and someone’s loss I received a deceased donor kidney at 3.15pm on September 19, 2014, whilst Paul was going through the extensive process to donate to me.

“Paul being Paul decided since he could not help me any further he would help a complete stranger and their family and give them the chance of a new life.

“This is who Paul is; he does not do it for the recognition although he greatly deserves it, his civic and community spirit is exceptional.

“Well, it was because as you can see by your own story Paul is now withdrawing from such events as it’s just not worth the flack he receives and could possibly receive from it going forward.

“Paul and I speak at least twice a week on the phone as we are many miles apart and to listen to the anguish in his voice because of this really saddens me, I do not know how he copes a lesser man probably would not.

“I wish I lived closer and not separated by water, so could jump in the car so he did not have to battle these parasitic creatures on his own.

“Thankfully I have the belief that Karma will catch up to all parties concerned as in my eyes they are not worth a pinch of the proverbial.

“Although I am pretty sure Paul knows how I look up to him, if and when Paul reads this it is my sincere hope that he is not embarrassed by my words,” Mr Cairns said.

Local History

£7348 raised for Memorial Hospital ■ The Yea Queen Carnival was reported in the March 31, 1948, issue of the local paper: Greatest event of the Centenary Celebrations was the presentation of the Queens, and the announcement and crowning of the successful candidate.

Over the past nine months friendly rivalry had been conducted at high pressure by Misses Marie Summers, Lynda Anderson, Betty Rogers, Marjorie Moore, Audrey Hildebrand and Beryl Bett, and their committees, in raising funds for the building of the Yea Memorial Hospital.

The untiring efforts of those associated with the competition were well rewarded, for though no doubt each of the young ladies was keen to crown her labors with success, the cause for which they were doing such wonderful work was always uppermost in their minds, and to it they gave of their best.

Although it was apparent that all had done splendidly, who would be crowned Queen was a matter for conjecture, and the widespread interest was evident from the tremendous crowd which gathered at the Shire Hall for the crowning ceremony on the Monday night.

Here, workmen throughout the week-end had given of their time and talent to erect a very substantial stage, and from it steps and a raised pathway leading to the door of the Shire hall, from where the Queens and their retinues made their entrance.

The crowning platform, under the skilful hands of the ladies, became a thing of outstanding beauty, the sense of color, which seems so instructive to these workers, being blended tastefully in this bowery of flowers.

There was as ripple of excitement as the Herald Trumpeteers and the Royal Page mounted to their appointed positions, followed by the Lord High Chancellor, replete with wig and suitable attire.

The announcement was made by the High Chancellor: “It is now mypleasure to present to you Marjorie Moore, Queen of the Valley” was the opening of a ceremony which could not possibly ever be forgotten by those privileged to witness it.

Local History

Kinglake was named after writer ■ There is no lake at Kinglake. So how did the region come by its name?

Kinglake is named after English travel writer and historian Alexander William Kinglake (August 5, 1809 – January 2, 1891).

He was born near Taunton, Somerset, and educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge.

He was called to the Bar in 1837, and built up a thriving legal practice, which, in 1856, he abandoned to devote himself to literature and public life.

His first literary venture was Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East (London: J. Ollivier, 1844), a very popular work of Eastern travel, apparently first published anonymously, in which he described a journey he made about 10 years earlier in Syria, Palestine and Egypt, together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington.

Elliot Warburton said it evoked "the East itself in vital actual reality" and it was instantly successful.

However, his magnum opus was The Invasion of The Crimea:Its Origin, and an Account of its Progress down to the Death of Lord Raglan, in eight volumes, published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood, Edinburgh, one of the most effective works of its class.

The History, which Geoff Bocca describes as a book "by which no intelligent man can fail immediately to be fascinated, no matter to what page he might open it" has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan and unduly hostile to Napoleon III for whom the author had an extreme aversion.

The town of Kinglake and the adjacent national park are named after him.

A Whig, Kinglake was elected at the 1857 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament for Bridgwater, having unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1852.

He was returned at next two general elections, but the result of the 1868 general election in Bridgwater was voided on petition on February 26, 1869.

No by-election was held, and after a Royal Commission found that there had been extensive corruption, the town was disenfranchised in 1870.

Eothen is reproduced by The Local Paper. ★ INTRODUCTION Eothen is the earliest work of Alexander William Kinglake, best known as the historian of the Crimean War. It is an account of a tour—or rather of selected adventures which occurred during a tour—undertaken in the Levant in 1834, but was not published until 10 years later.

The biographical notices of the Author are somewhat meagre, as by his dying directions all his papers were destroyed.

He was born near Taunton in 1809, and educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, at which latter he is said to have been the friend of Thackeray and Tennyson.

On leaving college he started on his Oriental tour with Lord Pollington (the Methley of Eothen), and on returning to England was called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn, and obtained a lucrative practice.

But the life was too tame to suit

● Alexander William Kinglake.

Portrait by Harriet M. Haviland (1863) his taste. In 1845 he visited Algeria, and went through a campaign with the flying column of St. Arnaud; and in 1854 went to the Crimea with Lord Raglan, and was present at the battle ofAlma.

On returning to England he decided to go into politics, and was elected for Bridgewater in 1857 in the Liberal interest.

He seems to have been a poor speaker, and to have exercised little parliamentary influence; but we are told that in 1859 he was strongly opposed to the Conspiracy Bill, which was introduced after Orsini’s attempt to murder Napoleon III, and that in 1860 he denounced the cession of Nice and Savoy to France.

In both cases he was apparently actuated by his personal dislike of Napoleon, which is evident in his historical works.

In 1868 he was again returned for Bridgewater, but unseated on petition, for bribery.

One might have supposed that he had acquired this habit in the East, but his biographers assert that he knew nothing of the irregularities which were committed by his agents.

But the chief business of his later life was the composition of the History of the War in the Crimea, of which the first two volumes appeared in 1863, and the seventh and eighth (completing the work) in 1887.

He died in 1891.

II His earlier and less ambitious, though perhaps more charming, book was rejected by several publishers, but proved an immense success.

It caught the popular fancy at

once, and after the lapse of more than 50 years still maintains an honourable position.

In the year after its first appearance it passed through three editions, containing several variations from the editio princeps which have attracted the attention of those who are interested in bibliography.

It is only fair to reprint the book with these corrections, which seem mostly due to the author’s laudable desire for greater accuracy.

For instance, he was apparently seized with qualms as to his assertion (end of chap. xiii.) that when he emerged from the Dead Sea after bathing therein his “skin was thickly encrusted with sulphate of magnesia,” and cautiously substituted “salts” for the more chemical expression.

Yet I observe that the most recent Encyclopædia states that “the water of the Dead Sea is characterised by the presence of a large quantity of magnesian salts,” so perhaps his first statement was not so wrong after all.

He also found that he had talked of Jove when he should have said Nep tune in his account of the Troad, and, conceiving a mistrust of the former deity, removed his name not only from this passage but also from chap. xviii., in which he altered “That touch was worthy of Jove” into “In that touch was true hospitality.”

I confess that I think this regard for truth might have moved him to expunge his account of the advances made to him by the young ladies of Bethlehem (end of chap. xvi.); I cannot believe that narrative to be even probable, but anyone may retort that my scepticism is due to the absence

of those attractive qualities which Kinglake possessed.

In chap. xvi. he says that shrouds are dipped in the holy water of the Jordan and “preserved as a burial dress which shall inure” (later editions “enure”) “for salvation in the realms of death.”

Some critical scholar of eminence should be called upon to emend or explain this mysterious passage.

At least, if people are allowed to print such things in the 19th century what right have we to emend the classical authors when they choose to be unintelligible?

The truth is that Eothen, despite its great literary merits, is often comfortably slipshod.

And very properly so, for if there is to be any correspondence between subject and style, it must be inappropriate for a traveller recounting confidentially his diversions and mishaps to adopt the phraseology of Gibbon.

Matthew Arnold, in his Essay on the Literary Influence of Academies, selected the History of the Crimean War as an example of what he called the Corinthian style.

Eothen certainly presents specimens of this manner, but they are hardly characteristic; it is often “urbane,” and has “the warm glow, blithe movement, and pliancy of life,” which, according to the critic’s definition, Corinthians lack.

It is not devoid of unity, but it is many sided and kaleidoscopic.

The author varies from the trivial to the solemn, from boisterous exuberance to careful austerity, from flippancy to rhapsody, and is perhaps never quite serious.

One wonders whether one is reading a clever but somewhat slangy letter, or a long-meditated essay polished and repolished by incessant labor limæ.

Perhaps between 1834 and 1844 he worked up and rearranged old spontaneous effusions, as indeed his preface suggests. He often writes like a school boy, and sometimes like a philosopher; he is at his best when he records what he has seen in phrases not without rhetoric and not without humour, but distinct and clear as his own impressions.

“The foot falls noiseless in the crumbling soil of an Eastern city, and silence follows you still. Again and again you meet turbans, and faces of men, but they have nothing for you—no welcome—no wonder—no wrath—no scorn—they look upon you as we do upon a December’s fall of snow—as a ‘seasonable,’ unaccountable, uncomfortable work of God, that may have been sent for some good purpose to be revealed hereafter.” How vivid and how true!

But perhaps the reader may ask, as I ask myself, whether an introduction to Eothen is really necessary.

The book is so simple and complete in itself that it seems to require no explanation or commentary.

But for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the Levant of to-day, it is well to explain that the 64 years which have elapsed since Kinglake made his Eastern tour have brought about important changes in the extent, and some few in the condition, of the Turkish Empire.

The “unchanging East” is a popular phrase which is only true in a very limited sense.

of pious publishers of representing Abraham in the costume of a modern Bedouin Sheikh, and it is peculiarly audacious to apply it to regions like Constantinople and Egypt, which have witnessed exceptional vicissitudes and undergone remarkable changes,—political, religious, and linguistic.

It is however just to say that the Turk is unchanging,—and it is to the presence of the Turk that are due the peculiar characteristics of the Levant, as the region visited by Kinglake may conveniently be termed; like the Bourbons, he forgets nothing and learns nothing; as he was on the day when he entered Europe, so he was in 1834 and so he is now.

The boundaries of Turkey have changed; there are now no Pashas at Belgrade, or even at Sofia; and Ottoman territory is no longer plague-stricken.

But whenever one crosses the Turkish frontier, one may find functionaries like the delightful potentate of Karagholookoldour, and be conscious of effecting within the space of a few hundred yards a change greater than can be experienced in any amount of travel in other European countries, including Russia.

One passes from regions where people have roughly the same habits and ideas as ourselves—where they believe in political economy, get drunk in public, sit upon chairs, and do not feel there is anything indelicate in mentioning their wives—to a land where people do none of these things, where the naked desolation of the country at the side of the railway offers a startling contrast to the smug prosperity of the Balkan States, where people prefer to sit curled up on hard sofas, and where it s bad taste to condole with a man on his wife’s death.

In 1834, the year of Kinglake’s journey, Turkey in Europe was considerably more extensive than at the present day.

Greece had already revolted and been recognised as an independent state.

Wallachia and Moldavia were in process of securing their freedom.

But the territories now known as Bulgaria, Bosnia, and Herzegovina were still integral portions of the Ottoman Empire; and though Servia (in which the scene of the opening chapters of Eothen is laid) had been constituted a principality under Milosh Obrenovich as prince, in 1830, several of the fortresses were still garrisoned by Ottoman troops, which accounts for the presence of the Pasha at Belgrade.

It is interesting to observe that though our Author must have proceeded to Adrianople straight across Bulgaria, he never mentions the name of that country.

This apparently strange omission is really quite natural.

The Bulgarians, though in some ways the most vigorous element among the Balkan races, passed through greater trials than the Servians or Roumanians, and for a time lost their national consciousness more completely.

They were nearer Constantinople, and therefore any political movement was more easily kept in check; while all the religious and educational establishments of the country were in the hands of Greek priests who practically proscribed the Bulgarian language.

Local History ● From previous page I have been informed by a gentleman who has resided 40 years in Turkey, that when he first entered the Ottoman dominions every educated Bulgarian called himself a Greek, and would have been ashamed to employ his national designation, which was hardly in general use before the movement of 1860.

Another striking omission of Eothen is that it contains hardly any allusion to the Sultan.

At the present day the descendant of Osman, who claims to be also the successor of the Prophet, is a well-known figure to the British public.

The Pall Mall Gazette familiarly calls him “The Shadow.”

The friends of the Armenians hold him personally responsible for the massacres; and a modern Kinglake, even if bent on avoiding “political disquisitions,” would certainly describe the Selamlik or weekly visit of the Sovereign to the mosque.

You cannot travel in Turkey without hearing the name of “Our Master” (Effendimiz) or “the Imperial Person” (Zat-i-Shahane) daily mentioned, and feeling that his wishes (which usually do not coincide with those of European travellers, and affect the minutest details) are the only real power in the country.

This state of things is due almost entirely to the personal energy of the present occupant of the Ottoman throne, who for good or evil has succeeded in concentrating all power into his hands, and in displaying the greatest example of practical autocracy ever seen.

In 1834 Mahmoud was Sultan, one of the most vigorous of Ottoman princes, but then near his end, and doubtless wearied out by a reign of constant reverse and ineffectual efforts at reform.

The Armenian question, like the Bulgarian, is of recent date, and we consequently find that Kinglake says as little of the one as of the other; but he often speaks of the doings of Mehemet Ali and his son Ibrahim Pasha, which at this period formed one of the chief preoccupations of the Porte.

MehemetAli was a native of Cavalla who held a military command in Egypt.

In the troubles which succeeded the French occupation of that country, at the beginning of the century, he succeeded in making himself head of the popular party in Cairo, ousted the Turkish Governor, and established himself in his place.

He was recognised by the Porte in 1805, and the Khediviate was subsequently made hereditary in his family.

At this time the Mamluks (or descendants of the Turkish Guard instituted by the Sultans of Egypt in the 13th century) occupied a position somewhat similar to that of the Janissaries at Constantinople.

Mehemet Ali, like Sultan Mahmoud, felt that this military imperium in imperio rendered fixed Government impossible, and determined to consolidate his own rule by breaking the power of the Mamluks.

He did so by inviting their leaders to a banquet, at which they were surprised and massacred.

The Sultan, in return for his recognition of Mehemet Ali as ruler of Egypt, made use of him during some years to keep in order various rebellious provinces of the Empire.

He was first ordered to quell the Wahabi insurrection in Arabia, and his campaign there is alluded to in chap. xviii. These people were a sort of Mohammedan Puritans [xvi]

Yet the Turkish Caimmakam, as picturesque and manly virtues of the “The Englishman leaning far Moslems, or roused to honourable drawn by a bitter enemy, is no bloody over to hold his loved India will plant indignation by the slaughter and op- tyrant, but an exquisitely diverting old a firm foot on the banks of the Nile pression of their fellow-Christians, gentleman whose every appearance and sit in the seats of the faithful.” they will find in the end that, as Lord is hailed by the reader with impa-

tient delight. As the violence of the Turk, so also the dishonesty and corruption of the Rayah seem to lose their enormity when viewed in this gentle, humorous light.

The swindling is so palpable, and yet so gravely decorous in its external forms, that it ceases to shock; it is so universal that in the end no one seems to have suffered much wrong.

To vary the celebrated remark about the Scilly Islanders, one may say that these people gain a precarious livelihood by taking bribes from one another.

Again the elaborate and ceremonious phraseology essential to all literary composition in the East enables a writer to make intrinsically preposterous assertions with a gravity which renders criticism impossible.

What reply can be given to the officials who assert that Armenians commit suicide in order to throw suspicion on certain excellent Kurds residing in their neighbourhood? or who when called upon to explain why they have incarcerated a foreign traveller under circumstances of extreme indignity, blandly reply that “the said gentleman was indeed hospitably entertained in the Government buildings”?

This last instance shows that Oriental travelling must not be undertaken without due precautions.

A certain retinue, and sufficient influence to secure the courtesy of the authorities (which Kinglake evidently had), are essential.

With them the traveller acquires a feeling, often manifest in Eothen, that he is a sultan possessed of absolute authority over his surroundings.

There is just enough hardship to make comparative comfort seem luxury, just enough danger to make it pleasant, when all is over, to hear from what perils one has escaped.

Should, however, any reader be inclined to use Eothen as a practical manual, he must be cautious in following some of its precepts.

Kinglake constantly insists that intimidation, haughtiness, and defiance of all regulations are the only means of impressing Orientals; and chronicles with great satisfaction his own exploits in this line, concluding with “the Surprise of Satalieh.”

What he says is true enough as long as the Oriental believes that the traveller is a prince in his own country, and that any interference with his mad whims will bring severe punishment.

But unfortunately the secret is out.

Enlightened officials are well aware that many Englishmen are not cousins of the Queen, and have a shrewd suspicion that hindrances placed in the way of the prying European are not displeasing to the Imperial Government.

The “Lord of London,” who 50 years ago obtained a firman which made every provincial official bow before him, may now be kept waiting days or weeks for a travelling passport; and, unless he uses tact as well as bumptiousness, may find himself in a position to write to the Times about the interior of Turkish provincial prisons, and become the subject of a Blue Book.

Still even now, if travellers will be cautious and polite in dealing with people of whose language and customs they are profoundly ignorant, and not bluster unless they know very well what they are about (for I admit that bluster has its uses), they will find travelling more interesting, diverting, and enjoyable in the Levant than in any other part of the world. ● To Be Continued

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

● From Page 33 Last week’s Wednesday’s shoot results were: at 300 yardsT-Rifle Peter Daldy 50.5, 49.7 = 99.12; F-Std 1 Robert Irving 7, 55.2, 55.3 = 117.5 2 Rosco Davis 57.3, 59.5 = 116.8, 3 Richard Godden 53.3, 56.4 =109.7; F-Open Neal Hambridge 54.3, 54.4 =108.7; F-TRMarty Kelly 57.2, 60.4 = 117.6.

Then at 600 yards T-Rifle Peter Daldy 48.2, 48.5 = 97.7; F-Std 1 Ross Davis 58.2; 2 Richard Godden 45. 3 Robert Irving 31 F-Open Neal Hambridge 58.3, 56.3 = 114.6; F-TR Marty Kelly 26,57.3 = 83.3.

Well done both Peter and Marty for your possible scores, we had such hope for Saturday but the wind and light conditions decided otherwise.

This week Marty Kelly is off to Coonabarabran NSW, and the Australian long range championships as a member of the Victorian State F class team.

The long range here refers to shoots out to 1500 yards just short of a mile, and that is a long way.

Marty is ready and Saturday’s 1000 yard shoot gave him the practice he needed.

We wish Marty and his fellow victorians all the very best and may they travel safely as Coonabarabran is just on 10 hours drive according to the computer based mapping programs and that too is a long way.

Next week shooting will be at Violet Town as we get our teams ready for the state team championships and the Champion of Champions shoot to be held in mid October.

Please refer to the web site at www.ecdra.com.au for current information and new shooters are most welcome.
