Research Open Day ■ Research Fire Brigade will open its doors to the public on Saturday, November 17, as part of the 2018 CFA Open Day program.

Brigade members will be on hand on the day with a range of fire safety information and advice.

Fire Brigade Captain Neville Stewart said CFA Open Days were the perfect opportunity for brigades to show the community what they do to keep everyone safe and to deliver valuable fire safety messages.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for our local community to meet the men and women who work hard to keep them safe from fire and help out in times of emergency," he said.

"Anyone interested in joining CFA, whether as a firefighter or in a support role is also welcome to come along for a look and a chat."

CFA Chief Officer Steve Warrington said the open days were a great opportunity for people to find out how to best protect themselves, their family and property from fire this summer.

"A strong relationship between the community and emergency services is a crucial component in boosting community safety and greatly assists our members in their critical role of the protection of life and property.

"Now is the time to prepare your family and home in the lead up to summer and we're here p

Oaks Day at K’lake

■ In its 13th year at the Kinglake Pub, Oaks Day has always been a day of fashion, fun and good times.

DJ Misty Mountain has been there from day dot, entertaining the ladies with his stylish tunes and with Leigh Dunscombe always run fun sweeps in every race.

The last few years the pub’s Jenn, Sara and Helen have continued to make the day a huge success with monies being raised for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre but this year the ladies were approached by Fiona (Floss) about another charity needing monies raised, so below in her own words is what this Oaks Day (November 8) is about: “Knowing how traumatic it is to deal with cancer and its treatment I could only imagine what it would be like for a child, as my friend's daughter is.

“Bright Blue is a charity for children it's mission is to make a positive difference to the lives of sick kids and to assist in the prevention and treatment of childhood illnesses, particularly those linked to issues police officers see every day - including the abuse of drugs and alcohol, as well as social disadvantage.

“I, Floss, am embarking on a fundraiser of a lifetime, needing to raise at least $5000to compete in The Gibb River Postie Bike race where the money raised from this event will go directly to our Bright Blue projects which include supporting brain cancer research, creating brighter futures for victims of burns and putting smiles on the faces of sick children in hospital.”

The Op Shop is supporting the Kinglake Pub's ‘Oaks Day’ by offering a specials rack for all your race day attire.

If you're looking for that ‘special outfit’ call into the Kinglake Op Shop for all your ‘Fashions on the Field’ needs.

Or, if you have any items that you would like to donate to the Op Shop - Fascinators, Shoes, Belts, Dresses - the Shop would love to accept them so they can be re-sold on to ladies at the races.

For more information on the Op Shop hours, or if you would like to become a volunteer, please call Laura at the Kinglake Ranges Neighbourhood House on 5786 1301 or email: laura@kinglakeranges.com.au - Laura Caine

NATIVE TITLE WON Whit. Show weekend

Police issue alert

■ MURRINDINDI region’s local Aboriginal people have won a $33.74 million native title settlement that stretches from Kinglake to Euroa.

Victorian Attorney-General Martin Pakula signed the settlement on Friday.

The Taungurung traditional owners have been working towards this day for more than 15 years.

This means the Taungurung people are now formally recognised as the traditional owners of a large area of central Victoria, stretching from Kinglake to Euroa, and Rochester, Kyneton and Bright.

Taungurung Clans Aboriginal Corporation CEO Matt Burns said this is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the Taungurung community through employment, investments and allocating returns into community programs like education and health support.

“The benefits of this settlement will come in many forms through management of parks, employment of park ranges and operational staff, control and decision making rights on Crown land, but more importantly pride,” Mr Burns said.

“Pride that while not all people made it to the end of this journey who began it, the pride that the Taungurung people persevered and saw this to the end.”

The settlement was completed under the Traditional Owner Settlement Act which allows for out-of-court native title settlements recognising the rights of Victorian traditional owners.

It gives rights to hunt, fish, camp, and gather natural resources,” said lawyer Tony Kelly.

Cricket victory

● Shaun Bourke ■ Police are continuing to appeal for public assistance to help locate Shaun Bourke, known to frequent the Whittlesea area.

A warrant has been issued for the 37-yearold’s arrest in relation to theft of firearm offences and conduct endangering life.

Police have released an image of Bourke in the hope someone recognises him and can provide information on his current whereabouts.

He is described as about 180 cm tall with balding brown hair and hazel eyes.

Bourke is known to frequent the Whittlesea, Montmorency, Bayswater and Keilor areas.

Anyone who sights Bourke or has information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Lifting of ban?

■ It is rumoured that Murrindindi Shire Council may lift the ban on Yea resident Jack Russell attending its meetings. Currently, Mr Russell, 80, is in the third year of a five-year prohibition from attending at more than 40 municipal properties, including libraries and the weekly meal for senior citizens at Yea Shire Hall. A decision is expected as early as next week. Under the plan, Mr Russell would be forbidden to make oral submissions at Council meetings for at least six months.

Mr Russell currently has legal action against the Council, which is said to have spent more than $80,000 on legal costs. ● Grant Hansen, Chair of the Taungurung Clans Aboriginal Corp. with Natalie Hutchins, Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Minister

Iconic Yea shop for sale

● The heritage-listed Carter’s Milk Bar at 29 High St, Yea, has been listed for sale. Expressions of interest, by December 19, are being sought by local real estate agent Deb Robinson. The property dates back to the late 1800s, when it was it was a bank. The commercial property is alongside the Yea Shire Hall. “There is the original residence behind the front shop which still has all its old counters with an undercover storage area to the side plus a large cool room. The entire building needs plenty of TLC and some structural work. A back entrance from the lane way leads into a large back yard where there is plenty of scope for someone's grand ideas,” Ms Robinson said in an online listing.

“EFT has not yet arrived in Glenburn.

Shell roadhouse man Jim Pana has to negotiate more than half-a-dozen imprint machines for credit card transactions,” we reported 30 years ago.

“We must remember that while this resolves land issues on Taungurung country, and is a massive milestone, the journey isn’t over yet.”

A treaty with the state is sought.

Local News

Dire local season ■ Farmers across the Eildon electorate are bracing themselves for another dire season after low moisture content and frosts dramatically reduced crop yields.

Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish is urging the Andrews Government to step up and provide immediate relief for local farmers and allocate funding for the ongoing employment of rural outreach workers.

“Many farmers across the region have been hit by frost which has caused widespread crop damage which means significant losses” Ms McLeish said.

“Autumn, winter and spring have been disastrous for farmers across our region with the Bureau of Meteorology finding September to be Australia’s driest on record.

“I know at home September was really dry and at a time when rain is needed.

“This year’s climatic conditions have caused a significant profit loss, leaving many

● Cindy McLeish, MLA for Eildon farmers without the funds to plant next year.

“Farmers are cutting what would have been valuable crops early for hay to ensure they make some profit from this season’s yield.”

Last week the Victorian Government announced $2 million to provide mental health and wellbeing services for struggling farmers.

But Ms McLeish said Mental Health Minister Martin Foley has refused repeated requests to provide ongoing funding for rural outreach worker Ivan Lister, based out of Benalla.

“The Coalition has continued to put the pressure on the government to provide ongoing support for Ivan Lister – a rural outreach worker credited with saving the lives of local farmers during the drought.

“Without immediate government support, the community has rallied together o help raise funds so that Ivan can continue his work and support local farmers.

“The Minister’s refusal to fund Ivan’s position casts doubt on the Andrews Government’s commitment to delivering mental health services for our struggling farmers.

“The government continues to ignore the needs of our local communities and proves once again its city-centric focus,” Ms McLeish said.

Local History

Early days of Manchester Unity IOOF ■ A Local Paper reader has asked about the early origins of Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows in the area.

A newspaper report of February 25, 1898, recorded: “Several members of the local branch of the abovenamed society journeyed to Yea on Thursday last for the purpose of visiting the sister lodge in that town.

“On their arrival they were met by secretary Wall and P.G.D Barrie.

“They adjourned to Bro. D. Ryan's hotel for tea, and after partaking of a hearty meal they were escorted to the lodge-room by about twenty of the Yea brethren.

“The lodge was opened with the usual formalities. Bro, Wall occupied the N.G.'s chair; Bro. Henry, I G.M., Bro. Johns, V.G. ; Bro. W. S. Wall, secretary.

“After the business had been disposed of, Bro. P.G. Henry said that, on behalf of the brethren of the Yea lodge, he thanked .the visitors for their visit.

“It was not an uncommon thing to have the statement that this society was just a financial institution, into which certain fees were paid to assure certain benefits; but when we see so many brethren willing to undertake a journey of forty miles to offer friendly greetings, one is led to think that there is, after all, some thing more than £.s.d. in Oddfellowship.

“Secretary W. S. Wall endorsed the remarks of P.G. Henry. This was the first time in the history of the Yea lodge that they had received a visit from any of the lodges in the surrounding districts, and he thought that it was a step in the right direction if visits of the kind were more frequent.

“Bro. P.G. R. E. Edwards gave a short discourse on ''Oddfellowship."

“The necessity for combining for the purpose of assisting each other in time of sickness and distress had been recognised from the beginning of the Christian era.

“Oddfellowship was first introduced into Great Britain by the RomansA.D. 102.

“From Great Britain it spread to America and afterwards to Australasia, and in Victoria it now holds the premier position among friendly societies.

“Every young man should belong to some benefit society.

“The advantages may not be apparent at first, but when the young man arrives at middle age, with perhaps a young family around him, he will regret it if he has missed his opportunity.

“Many persons were under the impression that medical men did not give proper attention to members of lodges, and that members did not receive the best of medicines.

“There may have been some foundation for this supposition a quarter of a century ago, but most of the medical profession take a broader view of the matter now, and would

“No detail was too small to conmmand either their attention or that of the other officers of the lodge, or of its members.

“All worked with a will and a cordiality not too frequently found in gatheringsof thil skind, with the result that the reqireoments of visitors received most kind attention.

“A varied programme was arranged to suit the needs of all, and dancing commenced punctually to time to the strains of Lieut. Ward's excellent music, and was contributed with brief intervals and great vigour until supper time, when a dainty repast was furnisbed by the capable hands of Mrs. Wood.

“Prior to recommencing dancing, P,G., Bro. Newman, attended by the principal officers of the Lodge, appeared on the stage, when Bro. Newman in very appropriate r emarks presented on behalf of the lodge, a very handsomely framed address to P.G. Bro. D. McGregor, which was as follows:Loyal Mount Pleasant Lodge, Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows.

This is to certify that Bro.

“Bro. M'Gregor replied in grateful terms, adding that he had but done his duty to a lodge of which he was fondly, proud.

“Dancing was then kept up unutil an early hour in the hour in the morning.

“As is usual at balls given by the Alexandra Oddfellows, a pretty effect was given to the scene by Bro. Sharp adorning as many ladies as possible with the pretty .regalia of the brethren, a compliment which was fully appreciatted.

“We are glad to hear that the proceeds more than covered expenses, and as these gatherings are not held for financial but expressly for social results, we can only repeat that the Mount Pleasant lodge added another to its long list- of brilliant successes in social functions” ★ On June 18, 1908, the Yea newspaper reported on Lodge football: “The following team will represent M.U.I.O.O.F. against A.N.A. on Wednesday next:--Forbes (2), Ball (3), Hickingbotham (2), M.Jamieson, McIntosh (2), J. Borrie, C. Bacon, S. Creed, C. Oliver, D. Marshall, Steuart (2), and Stephens.

“A.N A. team:- Lee Gow (2), Edes, Buckland, McCaskill, O'Callaghan, Abnott, Tratford, Semple, Dunlop, Begg, W. McLeish, Willis (2), Johnson, J. McCallum, McDougall, C. Hansen, Graham,

It has been suggested that in order to distinguish the players the Manchester Unity team wear white sashes and A.N.A. red.” ★ On August 5, 1909, the Yea paper reported: “The Manchester Unity, Loyal Yea lodge is having a "big night" in the Shire hall on 24th inst., the occasion being.the presentation of emblems and collars, with a social to follow. Several office bearers from the grand lodge are expected to attend the funition.” ★ On August 26, the event was reported: “A very happy company attended the Shire hall last night in response to the invitations sent out by the Loyal Yea Lodge M.U.I.O.O.F., which body had arranged a social for the presentation of several emblems and collars to past grand officers.

“This interesting ceremony was to have been performed by Grand Lodge officers from Melbourne, but owing to having a prior engagement they were unable to come to Yea. “The breach. however, was capably filled by brother J.A. Wild, who prefaced his remarks by an allusion to the origin and early history of Oddfellowship and traced its progress right up to the present day.

“The Manchester Unity order was an itmensely wealthy friendly society, and particularly strong in membership.

“Coming nearer home the speaker said that the Yea lodge was at one time so low down as to only possess about a dozen members, but its present membership was 77 strong and their funds £1200.

“There had been an increase of £500 during the last 4 years. and about £10 a man was invested.

(Cheers.) “In passing Bro. Wild said there was no doubt they had in Yea a medical officer of whom they might well feel proud. (Cheers) “He was just as kind, attentive and courteous to lodge patients as to those outside. and a person joining a friendly society felt confident that he would receive treatment equal to that which was given to anyone outside a lodge by Dr Shields.

“Yea was very fortunate in having a capable, generous and popular sur geon in her midst. (Prolonged cheers.)

“Bro. Wild, in making the presentation of four elaborate emblems suitably framed to Past Grand Brothers J.W. Dunlop, G Hickingbotham. D J Oliver, C Bacon, wished the recipients success, antd trusted they would always do their best for their lodge. P G Bro J W Dunlop then presented collarettes to PG Bros J T White, D Marshall, and C. Ball.

“Supper was served in the council chamber and the balance of the evening was devoted to dancing, about 33 or 40 couples taking part.

“The music was supplied by Miss Johnson, Messrs Stainsby and Eden.

“The function passed of very well indeed, thanks to the secretary Bro S A Wall, who, with a few assistants, worked assisously.”

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.

Letter to the Editor Dindi Mill closure

Murrindindi Matters

Sir, I want to take this opportunity to record my profound disappointment at the recent closure of the Dindi Mill, representing an end to sawmilling production in the Murrindindi Shire.

I remember my family, as well as many other locals and businesses relying on its service, and having previously visited the mill, I know just how important it was to our community.

It is clear the Andrews Labor Government has been happy to facilitate the closure of the mill, rather than stand up for local jobs in our region.

Demand has never been higher for Victoria's high-quality timber products but Daniel Andrews has put the industry in peril.

The Premier is sacrificing timber workers and their livelihoods because he is more concerned about clinging on to power with the assistance of the Greens either by forming a coalition in government, or by winning their preferences in inner city electorates.

Our timber workers, contractors and businesses have been in limbo for four years under Labor. The Liberal Nationals will back our timber industry. It is sustainable, ethical and vital to the health of country communities.

- Cindy McLeish, MLA for Eildon, Shop 10, 38-40 Bell St, Yarra Glen

Local Politics Tell your story

■ “Raise your voice - tell me your story.”

This request, issued by the Independent candidate for Eildon, Michelle Dunscombe, is a sincere call out to anyone who would like to host, or engage in, ‘cuppa conversations’ over the next five weeks in local towns.

Ms Dunscombe describes the ‘cuppa conversations’ as a process of deep listening. “I want to listen deeply to our communities’ concerns, and aspirations. Once I understand, I can pitch for change,” Ms Dunscombe said.

“The people that create change, are those that believe it is their responsibility - the ones that show up and step up.”

Having seen what can happen when communities band together, and as someone with the skills and experience required to facilitate this – to help unite people – Ms Dunscombe believes it is her responsibility to do so.

“I would really love it if the community would join me for a chat. I am not bound by party politics, I can work with all sides,” said Ms Dunscombe. independent4eildon@gmail.com

Rubbish dumping action ■ Ahead of the Melbourne Cup long weekend, Murrindindi Shire Council has issued a statement about rubbish dumping on public holiday weekends.

“Following community feedback after the Australia Day long weekend, which saw many visitor hotspots and public bins around the Shire inundated with rubbish, three local organisations are coming together to launch a campaign to tackle rubbish dumping,” said the statement.

Murrindindi Shire Council, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Parks Victoria are jointly issuing a 'information flyer' which advises visitors to the Shire of where and how they can legally dispose of rubbish.

These flyers include Council's Resource Recovery Centre opening hours and 'small volume' fees.

They also feature some handy information about requirements on Total Fire Ban days and the 'Dos' and 'Don’ts' of disposing of rubbish when visiting Murrindindi Shire.

The flyers will be available to visitors at Council, DELWP and Parks Victoria offices. They will also be handed out by patrolling Rangers on weekends.

Murrindindi Shire Council Infrastructure and

Waste Portfolio Councillor, Eric Lording said we had a number of reports from the community after the last couple of public holidays about large amounts of rubbish being dumped in public and even private bins".

"So we're pleased to be working with DELWP and Parks Victoria to put some preventative measures in place prior to the Melbourne Cup holiday," Cr Lording said.

"The goal is to educate visitors about the damage rubbish dumping does and educate them around more responsible rubbish disposal.

“Hopefully this will reduce the occurrence of rubbish being dumped inappropriately and illegally "To help campers and visitors dispose of their waste responsibly, Council will also be trialling skip bins in Thornton and Yea for campers to dispose of their waste over the upcoming Melbourne Cup weekend. If successful, this could be extended to other public holiday weekends.

"Our economy relies on our visitors. By working together, DELWP, Parks Victoria, Council and the community can help visitors enjoy their time in Murrindindi Shire while caring for our magnificent parks, forests and waterways," Cr Lording said.

Open Gardens Weekend at Alexandra

■ Murrindindi Shire Council says that it takes its responsibility to protect, improve and promote the health and wellbeing of its residents seriously.

At the Council Meeting last Wednesday (Oct. 24), Council reflected on what had been achieved one year into its 'Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017-2021'.

Murrindindi Shire Council Community Services Portfolio Councillor Sandice McAulay said the Plan guides Council, and its partners, on what goals it must to achieve to meet the community's health and wellbeing needs and priorities.

"As well as being closely aligned to the Council Plan 2017-2021, the Health and Wellbeing Plan contains additional key focus areas to reflect the priorities of our partners,” said Cr McAulay.

“The plan also sets out how we are going to achieve actions and measures our success along the way.

"We're so pleased to have worked with 21 external agencies - including community groups, sports organisations and health and support services - developing and delivering year one of this Plan.

"The needs and priorities outlined in the Plan came from the community itself during the 'Have Your Say' campaign and are supported by statistics from local health service providers, the national Census of Population and Housing and other health and wellbeing measures.

"Some of the things the community told us were important for Council and its partners to work on include: providing more support for community groups, making health services more accessible, connecting and providing services to the elderly, giving the community more opportunities to come together and celebrate, encouraging diversity and promoting volunteerism and participation- especially amongst young people.

"So that's just what we've been doing with the 'Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017-2021'.

“We're delivering and developing projects that support vulnerable children and families, improve access to services - including mental health services, increase opportunities for lifelong learning, support art and cultural activities and promoting healthy living and healthy eating.

“We would like to thank our community and service partners for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the plan - we're really making progress," Cr McAulay said.

DEATH NOTICE

MURRINDINDI TIMBER MILLING INDUSTRY - Oct. 19, 2018.

We regret to advise the passing the last remaining timber mill in the Murrindindi region. A friend to many, the milling industry was a good provider to numerous local families over more than 140 years. At the time of its death, the local milling industry paid wages to more than 100 local families.

Workers spent those wages with local stores and businesses, providing further employment throughout the area.

The Murrindindi Timber Milling Industry comprised a large family that enjoyed a rich tradition and honourable heritage.

It was a lonely end for this hard worker. Instead of being surrounded by friends, the industry was abandoned by Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and the Murrindindi Shire Council.

A sorrowful farewell. Sadly missed.

Local History

Locals celebrate the Melbourne Cup ■ The Melbourne Cup has long interested readers in the Local Paper circulation area.

The 2018 event will be held at 3pm on Tuesday (Nov. 6). A long weekend, that extends to four days for some, precedes the Cup. The late Tom Dignam, editor of the Yea newspaper from 1936 to 1984, could recite the names of the winners of each of the Cups.

In 1885, the local Evelyn Observer newspaper carried an advertisement from Albert S. Manders, of Collins St, Mel-bourne, offering to send telegrams with news of the winners.

“On account of the immense amount of interest attached to the great race of the year, as well as to the many sporting events leading up to it, and in order to enable those who may for many reasons be precluded from visiting the .Melbourne or Sydney meetings, to receive the news of the issues of these events as early as possible, we have decided upon forwarding the results of any single race of any one meetting in any colony to the following parts of Australia, including costs of Telegram at following rates, viz : “Any single race with first second and third horses, and time, held in Melbourne or Sydney, to any part of Victoria - 1s 6d.”

The first Melbourne Cup was held in 1861. It was won by Archer, the product of British sire William Tell and native dam Maid of the Oaks.

Legend has it that Archer covered the 800 kilometre distance from his home stable in New South Wales, but it would seem that this story is apocryphal.

His trainer, Etienne de Mestre, regularly used steamers to transport all of the horses in his charge betwixt racing venues in Sydney and Melbourne.

At any rate, Archer managed to appear and also to win the very first Melbourne Cup quite handily. He beat the favourite, Mormon, by six lengths in front of 4000 spectators.

The following year, Archer would beat 19 others even though the VRC had given him 64 kg to lug around the course.

In 1868, the first year of local newspapers in this area, the Alexandra Times gave details for a local sweep, with 100 members at 10 shillings each.

The first prize was £20, with £10 for second, and £5 for third, starters and non-starters.

Tickets were available from Kelson’s Junction Hotel at Jamieson.

In later years, there were prominent ads in Alexandra for the Eldorado sweep, with a 5 shillings entry, and 60 per cent prize for first, 20 per cent for the runner-up, and 10 per cent for third.

In 1872, Alexandra chimney sweep William Lawrence advertised with a testimonial from ‘G.T. Roulette’: “I am only aware of one better sweep in the district than William Lawrence, and that is the Sweep on the Melbourne Cup to be drawn at the Mount Pleasant Hotel.”

The Melbourne Cup theme was used in 1872 to promote the Mount Pleasant Hotel. It quoted ‘Fred’: “I'm just going up to Anderson's, at the ' Mount Pleasant,' for a ticket in the Alexandra Sweep on the Melbourne Cup, which I much pre-

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

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

Out and About

Halloween in WeHo

Out of wedlock

■ Close to 500,000 people packed Santa Monica Boulevard outside the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, which was party central for the annual Halloween Parade in West Hollywood.

The scary celebration was once for kids and now consumers are spending and estimated $6.9 billion for this one night of the year.

Whether it's by taking children 'trick or treating' or donning a costume for a party, 157 million Americans celebrated Halloween this week.

■ Signaling a cultural shift, a United Nations report out this week found 40 percent of all births in the US now come from parents who are not married, compared to just 10 percent in 1970.

The United Nations Population Fund study found the number to be even higher in Europe, where 60 percent of births now occur out of wedlock. The shift suggests changing societal and religious norms as well as the millions of childbearing-age women in the workforce.

The traditional progression of Western life "has been reversed," said John Santelli, a professor of population, family health and pediatrics at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.

$500m on animal costumes ■ Look out for lizards dressed as waiters, dogs dressed as Cleopatra and cats wearing tutus this Halloween.

Pets are getting roped into Halloween madness whether they like it or not, as more consumers are shelling out everclimbing sums to costume their beloved animals.

More than 30 million people will spend an estimated $480 million treating their pets to costumes this Halloween, more than double the $220 million spend on pet Halloween costumes in 2010 when the National Retail Federation began tracking pet costumes.

● Pictured at the Halloween Parade outside the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, Ioana Ciocan, Ramada Guest Relations Manager; Alan Johnson, Managing Director, Ramada Plaza; and Christina Cazan, Head of first impressions at the Ramada.

Competitive economy

■ Starbucks is restructuring its European operations after several years of slowing sales. The Seattle-based coffee chain is selling 83 company-owned stores in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg to its longtime partner, Alsea.

Alsea will also take over operations at 177 other Starbucks locations in those countries, which are owned by franchisees.

■ The United States has the most competitive economy in the world, according to the 2018 Global Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum.

"The United States is the closest economy to the frontier, the ideal state, where a country would obtain the perfect score on every component of the index," the report reads.

The United States obtained a competitiveness score of 85.6 per cent on the scale of zero to 100, which places it in the top spot among 140 countries, states the report.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the US has not reached the No. 1 spot "since 2008," when "the financial crisis stalled output and triggered a global economic slowdown."

Singapore occupies the No. 2 spot (83.5 per cent), followed by Germany in third place (82.8 per cent).

Grow a beard

Scooby Doo van BnB

Starbucks sells stores

■ A few weeks before Abraham Lincoln was elected president of the US, 11-year-old Grace Bedell sent him a letter urging him to grow a beard to win over voters.

Bedell claimed "all the ladies like whiskers" and would urge their husbands to vote for a bearded Lincoln.

Days later, Lincoln drafted a noncommittal response in which he wondered whether such a change in appearance would be well received. Within months, he was sporting his now-iconic beard.

What has America become?

■ While discussing the two violent attacks against him and the ever-escalating calls by some Democrats to physically confront and harass Republicans and conservatives, Senator Rand Paul said he fears there is "going to be an assassination," that "someone is going to be killed."

This week, former Attorney-General, Eric Holder dismissed the slogan, "when they go low, we go high," and said, "No, no.

When they go low, we kick 'em."

Also, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said this week, "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for."

Other liberals, including members of Congress, have called on activists to chase Trump administration officials from restaurants, to "get in their face," and protest outside their homes.

Beatles White Album ■ The Beatles' White Album has been blowing minds since 1968 but this weirdest of Beatle masterpieces is about to get weirder.

The new Super Deluxe Edition, which arrives on November 9, tells the epic story of the album that nearly tore them apart including a previously unheard version of the classic While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

It's an early acoustic take, as George Harrison tinkers with the ballad that would turn into one of his most powerful statements. Like so many moments on the new box set, it's the Beatles in full-blast experimental mode a revelatory listen that makes you hear new mysteries in music you thought you already knew inside out.

Climate affects beer ■ Climate change may cause the global price of beer to double and consumption to plummet, a new study involving the University of East Anglia concludes.

The study, billed as the first of its kind, published in international science journal Nature.com, warns that beer prices could "on average, double" due to climate change.

And, even under the best-case climate scenario, prices will "jump by 15 per cent."

For example, in Ireland, which boasts the highest per-capita consumption of beer, the price of beer is projected to rise by as much as 193 per cent due to climate change.

Global consumption of beer is expected to decline by at least 4 per cent, and by as much as 16 per cent (a decline in volume equivalent to the total US consumption of beer in 2011).

■ A room at the Soho Grand Hotel in New York City will set a tourist back about $400, but there is a cheaper alternative.

A California screenwriter has reportedly turned a van, parked on the street in the trendy Manhattan neighborhood, into an Airbnb listing.

The New York Post reports that the vehicle, which looks a little like the Mystery Machine from the Scooby Doo cartoons, rents for $69 a night.

There's a fold-out sofa bed, a nightstand and a pass to a nearby gym for showering.

"Van-life is for those who embrace adventure and have no problem roughing it, to have a new and memorable experience," the listing reads. Local residents told the newspaper they had no idea the distinctive van was a hotel room on wheels. "It's shocking," one said.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: ELVIS PRESLEY - THE SEARCHER: Genre: Biography/Documentary.

Voices: Elvis Presley, Priscilla Presley, Robbie Robertson, Bruce Springsteen, Sam Phillips, D.J. Fontana, and Many More!

Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 197 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: Following his creative journey from childhood through the final 1976 Jungle Room recording sessions.

Outstanding two-part three hour + documentary feature is the most revealing and entertaining to date, includes never-before-seen film footage and photo's, including new material taken inside Graceland, and features new primary source interviews with family, friends, session players, producers, engineers, directors and other artists who knew him or who were profoundly influenced by him.

Told in extraordinary detail is the mixed race music scene culture of Memphis in the 1950s, from the Blues to Gospel, and featuring Blues greats like B.B. King and Howlin' Wolf, among many others, and their influence on Elvis, then on to the legendary Sun Studios and Sam Phillips, and Colonel Tom Parker.

Also details is his stint in the Army, meeting and marrying Priscilla, the TV appearances, becoming the pop music phenomenon, the movies, the decline, the personal issues, the frustrations, the controlling power of Col. Tom Parker and the legendary 1968 Comeback Special, and much more, all told in voice only and no talking heads including Elvis himself, along with Priscilla Presley, Robbie Robertson, Bruce Springstein, Sam Phillips, D.J. Fontana, Red West, Col. Tom Parker, and Many More.

Everything in "Elvis Presley: The Searcher" comes together to ultimately create a intensely personal, revealing, poignant, dark, exciting, thrilling, uplifting and emotion charged odyssey of one the greatest and most influential music icons in history.

FILM: SUMMER OF 84: Genre: Drama/Thriller/Mystery.

Cast: Graham Verchere, Judah Lewis, Caleb Emery, Shauna Johannesen.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 105 Minutes.

Stars: *** Verdict: After suspecting that their police officer neighbour is a serial killer, a group of teenage friends spend their summer spying on him and gathering evidence, but as they get closer to discovering the truth, things get dangerous.

From Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" to Stephen King's "Stand By Me," to the hit series "Stranger Things," and many in-between, this "my neighbour may be a killer" and "teen centric sleuth mystery," if you have the patience and you are not bothered by the all too familiar plot, this has a lot to offer, as it builds dramatically in tenacity, urgency and attentiveness as it grows.

You can be forgiven for feeling that we have seen or known these teen characters before, however, as the mystery deepens so does the drama, as they slowly unravel what they believe to be the long elusive serial killer, another formulaic character, as are the frustrated parents in the piece, and lacking much needed humour, but this all combines effectively to play well with-in its favour.

Familiar plot and characters or not, the less said about it the better, as there are genuinely gripping moments of unexpected brutality, jolts, fright and surprise, especially for a teen mystery, and it's those moments in murder mysteries that separate the boys from the men, and in this case turn the boys into men, prematurely.

FILM: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY - 50th Anniversary 4K + Blu-Ray: Genre: Sci-Fi/Adventure.

Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Douglas Rain.

Year: 1968.

Rating: PG. Length: 149 Minutes.

Stars: ***** Review: From the dawn of man to beneath the surface of the moon, humanity finds a mysterious object and, with the intelligent computer HAL 9000 on board the spacecraft Discovery, man sets off on a quest to find the answer.

Before man landed on the moon, Stanley Kubrick's monumental science fiction epic broke all traditional story-telling rules and created a whole new approach to the medium, in recreating a stale and flawed genre, it not only intellectually exploded myth, the stars and technology to unimagined heights, it changed the genre and cinema forever, and would inspire a generations of filmmakers to this day.

Few filmmakers have understood the visual medium and depth of cinema and film as much that Stanley Kubrick, and with "2001: A Space Odyssey" he challenges, stimulates, confuses, confounds, dares and divides us intellectually and visually with an odyssey of unsurpassed imagination, groundbreaking technological perfection and sheer additional brilliance and inspiration with an unrivalled integration of musical and visual composition the marriage of music and cinema.

Originally filmed and released in the single-frame 70MM Cinerama format, this is a spellbinding and dizzying fusion of adventure, belief, idealism, life, death, rebirth, man vs. machine and extraterrestrial life that is a thrilling, haunting, poignant, testing, thought provoking and ultimately spellbinding experience which offers something new no matter how many times you see it.

Rourke’s Reviews Suspiria ■ (MA). 152 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas November 8.

After achieving worldwide acclaim with the Oscar winning drama Call Me By Your Name, director Luca Guadagnino takes a radical left-turn with his latest feature, a dark, allegorical reworking of Dario Argento's 1977 masterpiece Suspiria, and it's a hypnotic concoction that truly stands on its own.

Set in Berlin circa 1977, the basic premise remains the same; American student Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson) arrives to hopefully join other young hopefuls at an elite dance academy, and after an energetic audition, manages to secure a place.

In charge is the elegant-yet-intimidating Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton), who sees something unique in Susie, something that could benefit her and the other teachers, all of whom hold a terrifying secret.

The great thing about this new incarnation of Suspiria, is that it doesn't lazily rehash the sights and sounds of the iconic original (which is one of my all-time favourites), but instead forges a completely different path, so those wanting more of the same will be bitterly disappointed.

Guadagnino and writer David Kajganich (A Bigger Splash, The Terror TV series) dig deeper, using the framework set up by Argento and Daria Nicolodi to examine the human condition, and its frustrating propensity to be drawn to (or possessed by) the same flaws and failings, using subject matter such as WWII Nazism and the Baader-Meinhof attacks to symbolise man's attraction to oppression, power, and violence (there are clearly felt references to Salo and Cabaret).

The two intriguingly parallel all this with the chaos, anger, and division that is occurring today, but they also look at a woman's place in that world, particularly the doctrine and image they should attach themselves to.

The film looks incredible, and cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, shooting on 35mm film, makes the production feel like it was crafted in the 1970s, and while it may not have Argento's memorable colour schemes, this new vision is definitely visually impressive.

Performances are excellent (Johnson gets more to do here than she did in the excruciating Bad Times At The El Royale), especially from the always reliable Swinton, who gets to play more than one role here. Suspiria is a film that wants to challenge its audience, and as such it will prove a wearying, even exhausting experience for some.

But for those who want more than cheap, empty thrills, then this may end up being one of your most invigorating cinematic encounters for 2018. RATING - ****

Suspiria : 40th Anniversary ■ Special Edition (R) (1977). 98

minutes. Available now on Blu-ray.

Lovingly restored in a gorgeous 4K restoration, this all-time classic can finally be viewed the way it was four decades ago (even more so if you watch the U.S. Synapse restoration, which is simply astonishing).

For those who have yet to experience this profound assault on the senses, the plot follows Suzy Bannion (a perfectly cast Jessica Harper), an innocent young American who enrols at a prestigious dance academy in Germany.

It doesn't take long after her arrival to realise that strange things are happening within these walls, and that the people in charge may actually be witches.

Argento has always been a filmmaker who favours cinematic immersion over narrative logic, and Suspiria is no exception, but the breathlessly staged, nightmarish visions he creates have to be seen to be believed (special praise must go to cinematographer Luciano Tovoli).

For those who saw this on the huge Astor screen during its packed season last year (which I was one), it was an unforgettable experience, and now thanks to Umbrella Entertainment, we can now see this beautiful restoration at home, vividly reliving what is one of the greatest horror films ever made.

RATING - *****

Halloween

■ (MA). 106 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

Having received strong reviews and incredible box-office success in the US, this latest entry in the long-running series now reaches our shores, but unfortunately all that positive hype seems puzzling, as what we have is a rather mediocre regurgitation of the highly influential John Carpenter original.

Ignoring all the sequels that have come before it, this sees itself as an alternative Part Two, set 40 years after the events that occurred in 1978.

Michael Myers (Nick Castle) has been in a mental institution all that time, and terrified survivor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has turned into a Sarah Connor-type obsessive, living in a remote, fenced-off house, and surrounded by rows of high-powered weaponry, for when the unstoppable killer inevitably escapes his confines.

Her daughter Karen (Judy Greer, again miscast) is estranged due to this unstable behaviour, but granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) sees the reclusive Laurie behind Karen's back.

When a couple of podcast reporters turn up to 'interview' Michael, then Laurie, it sets off a chain of events that will see The Shape break out, and cause the kind of bloody mayhem the town of Haddonfield have endured a number of times before.

Halloween is slick enough, and is crafted in a way that makes it look like it was produced in the early 80's, but is lacking the style, imagination, and ingenuity that made the 1978 version such a wonderful, genuine classic. What we truly want to see is a new John Carpenter film, not a second-rate facsimile.

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.

■ American actress Mamie Van Doren was born Joan Lucille Olander in South Dakota in 1931.

In 1946 Joan began working as an usher at The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.

Film producer Howard Hughes "discovered" the beautiful 18-year-old in a beauty contest.

She was given the screen name of ‘Mamie Van Doren’. It is said that ‘Mamie’ came from Mamie Eisenhower, the wife of President Eisenhower.

Hughes arranged bit parts for Mamie in RKO Films and this led to a contract with Universal Studios.

My first memory of seeing Mamie Van Doren in films was in the 1954 comedy Francis Joins The WACS with Donald O'Connor and Francis the Talking Mule.

Mamie appeared in many films which included - Yankee Pasha, Running Wild, Born Reckless and High School Confidential.

The 1950s was the era of the ‘sexy blonde bombshells’ and Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren were known as the big three.

In a radio interview Mamie told me that in 1957, when she was appearing at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, Elvis Presley came backstage to ask her for her autograph and then took her on a date to see Louis Prima at the Sahara Hotel.

In 1958 Mamie made her most memorable

The photographers would say "Get that kid out of the picture!"

In later years they shared the same drama coach and became good friends. They met for the last time at the Russian Tea Rooms in New York, two weeks before Marilyn died.

Mamie realised that Marilyn was not well but was shocked to learn of the news of her passing.

Little wonder town changed its name

■ It is probably little wonder the folk of the Philippines town of Sasmuan changed its named back in 1991.

Because up until then it was known somewhat bizarrely as Sexmoan, and even more weirdly that was given it not by some raunchy visiting seafarers in days of yore, but by early Spanish friars sent as missionaries to bring Christianity to the country several hundred years ago.

And who, in attempting a strictlycorrect translation of Sasmuan – which actually meant “meeting point” – somehow screwed up, and inflicted upon the locals the new name of Sexmoan.

And although they accepted the name for all those years, finally in 1991 the townspeople decided they’d been saddled with its negative sexual connotation long enough, and opted to go back to Sasmuan that it had been known as before the arrival of

Today some 29,000 or so people live in Sasmuan, that’s 54km northwest of Manila, with their main industry being aquaculture based on the breeding of fish, prawns and crabs in vast natural and man-made ponds, these seafoods sold in markets in Sasmuan itself and numerous surrounding towns.

And it is also somewhat-famous for a confectionery called Polvoron that’s a Spanish-style shortbread filled with nuts – the most popular varieties being those with almonds or cashews, while they can also include peanuts, strawberries or a local purple yam, with some chefs also adding a chocolate coating as well.

■ John Rozentals salutes the Australia's leading light with a rare, exotic white grape variety.

By the time that most Australian wine lovers had worked out the correct pronunciation of 'viognier', Yalumba's Chief Winemaker, Louisa Rose, had fashioned a firm reputation as this country's preeminent exponent with this rare, exotic white grape variety.

Viognier enjoys vinous cult status virtually worldwide because of a single vineyard, the Rhone Valley's Chateau Grillet, which occupies the entirety of its own 3.8hectare appellation, declared in 1936 and generally regarded as France's smallest, though the variety is more widely planted in the surrounding appellation of Condrieu.

A couple of others in the Providence area were just saved.

The fire burnt through a portion of ‘Beauminto’ but was stopped at the road below the racecourse - it did, however, get very close to Mr Frak Slevin’s house where a good save was effected.

At this point the pall of smoke that completely enveloped Yea was staggering. Many shops shut and everyone tried to do something to minimise the awful danger that threatened.

The fire knew no boundaries creeks, rivers, roads didn’t count, and it was soon threatening the areas on the west and northern boundaries of the township. ● ‘Killingworth’ was ruined by the 1969 Yea bushfires. Photo: John T. Collins.

Local history proportions. Equipment was pouring into Yea and apart from over 30 brigades, the Army sent over two units, three tankers and two ‘dozers plus other heavy equipment, in addition to that of the shire, C.R.B. and private owners all of which were to play a big part in the safety of the town.

There were about 50 Army personnel available at the Yea Headquarters and 50 had gone to Highlands. Captain Maurie Bennett was in charge.

Danger to Molesworth ● Arthur Bett ● From Page 63 It was not far away that tragedy was really striking, and several houses including the historic ‘Killingworth’ homestead, a part of which was 120 years old, were destroyed.

Farmers were making desperate efforts to muster sheep, and instances were reported of people helping elsewhere, losing their own stock or property.

Miss Gwen Williamson says she doesn’t know yet how her house was saved (and that applies to Turner’s), but the fire pursued a relentless course, crossing the highway just past C. McGregor’s and turning right round D.J. Sier’s home.

The immensity of the thing was no frightening. The southern arm of the fire was sweeping towards Limestone (denuded of manpower through helping elsewhere) and it seems amazing that there wasn’t greater tragedy there.

(A later theory is that this fire was a fresh outbreak, but even if this is correct it was certainly joined by the one from Yea.) The centre of the fire swept along the left side of the highway, getting close to Harold Sier’s, Cr A.J. Bett’s which was saved twice), but the second house on the property (formerly Thwaites) was burnt to the ground.

School teachers Harvey and Wendy Martin lost many valuable possessions. It is said another young couple soon to be married were to occupy this house.

The northern arm of the fire, burning on both sides of the river, pursued its horrific course and was to finally reach the hills behind Yarck and Kanumbra.

So swiftly had things happened that the fire had outraced the organisation, but this was not the fault of the latter.

Long before lunch an emergency post had been sety up at the Police Station and Red Cross and other ladies were preparing meals etc.

Knowing that it was a real emergency a message was sent to Melbourne to send the “package post”.

The Regional Officer of the Country FireAuthority (Mr H. McLaren) had arrived, and soon a complete emergency headquarters had been established at the Recreation Resserv.

Then Mr Ron Orchard, Assistant Chief Officer of the CFA, assumed control, assisted by relieving officers.

ONMANYFRONTS The old bugbear of having to fight on two fronts was beginning to rear its head, and counting the various directions in which the Killingworth fire was spreading, special eforts had to be made to deploy all available manpower, tankers, etc.

Midway through the afternoon, a call was received for more man to be sent to the Ti Tree Creek area, the Junction Hill fire - a diversion by no means - assuming rather dangerous

■ With the main fire racing over Cotton’s Pinch through McCormack’s, Jeffery’s and adjacent properties, the situation in the little town of Molesworth was rapidly deteriorating.

Several incidents at this time of the afternoon added to the “emergency and disaster” angle of the whole affair.

Telephone lines were rapidly put out of action, all electric power failed about 4.30pm and at Molesworth a grader hastily making a break fouled the water main and residents faced the fi9re without water.

Evacuation looked inevitable.

The inferno raced in along the road line threatening Saddington’s, Webb’s, and nearby houses, and was poised for one horrible moment on top of Nebo preparatory to sweeping down to demplish the historic Ridd hometead of ‘Lorna Doone’ and a shed further down, but missed Christ Church (Anglican).

At this point the town was officially evacuated, many of the women and children being taken to Bonnie Doon.

Without the Molesworth brigade battling valiantly, buildings in the township were saved, and although stooks of cut phalaris caught (Mr J. Joyce’s adjoining the highway), very little was burnt.

People on Whanregarwen Road were becoming apprehensive as large billows of smoke encompassed everything, but communication was practically non-existent.

The fire swept on, and a heavy loser was Mr D. Munro who had two houses on his property and other buildings burnt to the ground.

Others lost much in machinery, sheds and stock.

This part of the fire burnt so far that it eventually threatened Alexandra township and on the other sector around Cathkin and Yarck there was devastation also.

Nearer to Molesworth the home of Mr and Mrs Bill Jeffery was destroyed.

Limestone losses ■ The right arm of the fire con-

Up from Cheviot Station, a shearing shed belonging to Mr John Sier was burnt, and to see the ‘Henderside’ homestead provides an illustration of how close and yet how miraculously left standing were scores of similar homes throughout the district.

Burnt fruit trees, a once elevated tank (perhaps burst and perhaps providing a heaven sent sprinkling system) bore stark evidence of what was happening in parts of the scorched countryside unbeknown to the hundreds concerned with desperate situations everywhere.

The fire jumped the Limestone Road up from the railway crossing, burning into G. Tull’s, taking hay but stopping short of the house.

However, it encircled his brother’s (Colin) and the owner and a companion had a narrow escape when a garage exploded - the latter, plus the car, went up in flames.

Further on, it completely destroyed the Limestone Hall and Presbyterian Church, and ravaged properties nearby, where stock lossses were heavy.

Mr A. Sier lost many sheep.

Mr and Mrs H. McGill had a harrowing experience here, but their home escaped. However, further on, a house of Mr Don Franklin’s went, the owner losing everything.

Nothing could check the fire now and outbuildings at Jowett’s were lost and some miles further on the original Stanley home (where the Patterson family lived) went up in flames.

Headquarters organisation ■ The big pavilion at the Recreation Reserve, started in 1958, has generally been known as the multipurpose building, and it has never been put to better use than last week,. when the Country Fire Authority and Red Cross set up emergency headquarters.

Asst. Chief Officer R. Orchard and Regional Oficer H. McLaren had one end set up maintaining seven direct phone lines, maps and other equipment and on the main arena their communications van, with radio link to Headquarters and mobile units.

At the eastern end of the hall the Red Cross emergency staff had been supplemented by a big influx of local ladies and young girls (some of whom worked right through the two nights) despensing hundreds of meals to firefighters as they came and went,or rested.

About hal;f the hall had been turned into a First Aid Post, where stretchers were laid out for resting, and many of the minor injuries

attended to, feet bathed and eyes soothed. At the head of the staff were Red Cross officials from town.

Inspector Howlett came from Seymour to the Yea Police station and with Senior Constable Long and Police from Broadford, Seymour and mounted members from Melbourne worked untiringly day and night handling complex problems.

The Inspector wishes to thank the many local people who assisted the Police in many ways.

A St John Ambulance Brigade, also from Seymour, under Supt.

John Voogt, was soon on the scene and treated a number of casualties.

The more serious were looked after by Drs Hosking and Paterson, and a few had short spells in hospital.

Country Roads Board road patrols, P.M.G. and S.E.C. staff, the Forestry officers, Council, Water Trust and Railway employees all had their hads full and these, and a magnificent Postal and telephone staff, deserve great credit for their part in the drama.

The Regional Communications Officer, Cr John Peel, was himself in a hot area, as the fire from Junction Hill swept down towards Glenburn and spread rapidly.

The fire, as stated, started at ‘Foxhaven’, about 10am on the Wednesday, burnt to within 30 yards of the house and tore down the gullies toiwards J. Corrigan’s ‘Wildcroft’ and other properties.

The cruel north wind which had brought so much devastation to the Yea area was north-westerly out there - one resident said it could have been 70 miles per hour - and at least two spot fires were started, one near Devlin’s Bridge and another near Cavanagh’s Hill - all of which added to the immense problems that everyone faced on Wednesday evening.

About 7.40pm the sun set as a hideous red orb, the wind was changing to the north and with vast areas past the point of further help, apprehensive minds turned southwards, as it was obvious that the second fire could pose a threat to a vast area - it did, to the very gates of the town.

Apart from the Yea Brigades, units from the following centres had already taken part in the battle: Homewood, Seymour, Costerfield, Avenel, Glenaroua, Tooboorac, Flowerdale, Molesworth, Highlands, Glenburn, Cranbourne, Murrindindi, Moorooduc, Beaconsfield, Hastings, Pearcedale, Yarra Glen, Healesbille, Silvan, Mon-trose, Mooroolbark, Lilydale, Sassafras, Kalorama, Lima South, Meerlieu, Heathcote, Wangaratta North, Shepparton, Upper Fern-tree Gully, Springvale, Morwell and Dandenong.

Some of these later were Bedford 4x4 800-gallon units which, like the Army equipment, were to be of great value.

Crisis day for Yea

■ Although much patrolling and blacking out was done during Wednesday night, Thursday opened ominously.

The first fire had raced away to other Shires to do more terrible damage and instead of a north wind, Yea faced a strong southerly which blew in smoke from the fire at Ti Tree Creek, which had burnt right through to ‘Glenmore’.

As the morning dragged on, the situation became worse and more units were dispatched to this new front.

Yea was still without power - and could have been without water. Fortunately, the Water Trust’s auxillary pump was kept going non-stop, but this was petrol-operated and in the path of the oncoming blaze.

Locals on a “shift” roster, guarded the cooling system for 30 hours.

Residents had responded to a Water Trust appeal to conserve every ounce of water, and the storage in the reservoir built up if ... slowly.

However, those living in Smith, Moyle and nearby streets were warned to be ready to move, and preparations to mett all emergencies proceeded without undue hysteria.

However, speed was the essence of the contract so far as the southern approaches to the town were concerned and Shire graders and Army ‘dozers were thrown into the urgent task of preparing breaks around Constitution Hill.

This, in fact, was one of the most notable feats of the two days.

The fire burnt in fairly quickly to the east of ‘Deepdene’, through McLeish’s, Colin Anderson’s, Purcell Bros., and Quinlan’s.

Purcell’s woolshed was saved, as was a huge stack of hay near Quinlan’s. But inexorably nearer came the reckoning, as first ‘Sheoak’ and then Constitution Hill were over-run.

Poignantly, a funeral had to be held up when the flames reached the cemetery.

A grader and bulldozer were still working when the fire topped ‘Conny’ but the 30-ft. wide break stretching from there near Smith Street right across to ‘Bun’ McLure’s house was the saving act.

Fortunately, the east tongue of the fire stopped - or was stopped - at Cemetery Lane, and a big concentration of men and equipment ensured that it did not cross the break.

It was within 70 yards of Jim Elliott’s house (and a haystack), and other homes threatened were those of Messrs. H. White and J. Foster, any at the top of East Street, assuming those of Raglan and A’Beckett Streets, Melbourne Road and The Parade (Oliver Street at the other end ) were still not desperately threatened. ● Turn To Page 65

Fatalities across state totalled 17 ● ● From From Page Page64 23 ■ The west arm was very menacing and the flames actually reached the school pine plantation. A heroic save here literally tore the fire out.

From there right along Flat Lead was a dangerous sector, but a twohour concentrated battle finally won the day.

Two houses at Ken McLeish’s, a woolshed, the old slaughter yards and other buildings were saved, and the fires were stopped from crossing the road.

That triangle, from there back through Homewood, was still unscathed, but it could be noted that had the fire crossed Whittlesea Road, it could have burnt along the Boundary Creek area to ‘Beaumonto’ and so completed a linking up with the devastated area from the previous day.

The distance would be little more than half-a-mile. The same thing, of course, nearly happened at the east of the town, had the fire burnt from Quinlan’sw across the Yea River to Cheviot.

The great pincers movement just failed to close.

By Thursday night the fire was regarded as “held” and a reasonable day on Friday assisted the blacking out operation, though constant vigilance had to be maintained and units sent to several “get-aways”.

The destruction of burning stumps and trees continued, and of course, the harrowing duty of slaughtering and buyring thousands of sheep and other stock.

On Saturday a helicopter carrying C.F.A. and Forestry officials made a survey of the whole area, and the Group Officer, Mr W.A. Purcell, was similarly flown over on Sunday.

The emergency units pulled out on Sunday.

All the week, continuous patrolling of the barious sectors has gone on, to ensure that not a spark escapes.

Drama at Alexandra

■ For some reason, Yea monopolised the news last week, but a parallel drama was enacted at Alexandta on Wednesday.

In fact, in one respect, it was worse, as having no auxiliary pumping unit (Yea had), the town’s water supply dwindled to almost nothing when the power failed.

However, it was off for only a fraction of the time of Yea’s hold-up.

A fire broke out at Acheron Cutting at 9.55am and firemen were unable to check the blakze in the Connelly’s Creek area, and it spread quickly to practically encircle Alexandra.

At the height of the blaze in the afternoon, Alexandra was in danger, and flames moved from the south end of Grant Street towards the Hospital.

Evacuation was being considered, but a supreme effort saved the day. \ Between 3pm and 4pm the situation became really explosive, when the fierce fire from Yea joined the Acheron one near Connelly’s Creek.

As well as Whanregarwen laid bare, the flames spread out on the flats and past the hills south of Alexandra, raced along the Brooks Cutting road and hills and past the

● The 1969 bushfire, on a Total Fire Ban day, saw 230 fires, which burnt more than 324,000 hectares. Some 21 of these fires were highly destructive with the worst occurring on the urban fringe of Melbourne. A fire at Anakie near the GeelongBallan Road which had been extinguished the previous day flared up again and moved quickly towards Lara where it destroyed a 90 year old gothic church and 40 houses. The worst death toll occurred when a fast-moving grass fire approached the four-lane Melbourne-Geelong highway at Lara: 17 people died when they left their cars and, in the dense smoke, tried to outrun the fire. Six people who sheltered in their cars survived. The event was a catalyst in changing guidelines recommending people are safer staying in a car when fire is upon them. The fire burnt to the edge of suburban Melbourne affecting Altona, Diamond Valley and Kangaroo Ground.

and social community atmosphere. He said we “should be every proud of what we have”.

The Yea Golf Club wishes to thank major sponsors Elders Yea, David Sanders Homes, Reece Plumbing of Seymour, and the Flowerdale Estate for their generous support.

■ The East Central District Rifle Association’s annual dinner held at the Yarck Hotel on Thursday evening (Oct. 25), where it was announced that the Club had been awarded a $100,000 grant to upgrade the facilities at the Violet Town Shooting Complex.

The funds will allow for the renovation of the toilets and club house to accomodate “all abilities”, improve the access / parking areas, deal with critical safety issues at the 600 yard mound and repair flood damage to the target pits.

The funds come from the Victorian State Government’s Round 3 of the Shooting Sports Facility grant program.

President of the ECDRA, Robert Chaffe, when announcing the success of the grant, thanked the members of the Euroa Clay Target Club for their assistance in preparing the submission as the Violet Town Shooting Complex is now in regular use by up to 60 people, including those with mobility disabilities and family groups.

The existing facilities are in need for renovation to accomodate the current use. Robert said the complex when renovated will on a par with the very comfortable facilities at the Wangaratta Rifle Range at Glenrowan.

Now that the Shooting Complex has stable, reticulated 240 volt power available to the club house Robert said that the ECDRA will be able to make full use of all the facilities provided by the Hex Systems electronic targets including real time monitoring of all targets and scores.

John Uren, Minister for Sport, said, in a letter to the ECDRA, “I would like to congratulate East Central District Rifle Association on your successful application to Round 3 of the Shooting Sports Facility Program.”

The Minister ended his letter with “Congratulations and I look forward to seeing the positive outcomes from this investment”.

The Executive of the Management Committee of the Violet Town Shooting Complex have already moved to get final quotes on the works and will meet this week to begin the process of finalising a project plan to go before the members who use the complex for final approval before proceeding.

Mr Chaffe stressed that where ever possible local contractors and trades will be used to carry out the works ensuring that the benefit of the project is spread as far as possible in our own area.

We can honestly say that this dinner was one of the most exciting for many years as those present began to imagine the safety and comfort that the completed proposed works will provide.

Graeme Kerr, Secretary of the ECDRA, was busy in the past week preparing for the annual meeting and he confirmed that 2018 shooting year has been one of the best ever.

Graeme’s summary of achievements was presented in there parts; ■ Contributions to team shooting led by Team Captain: Marty Kelly: Most team matches attended: 8/8 Neale Hambridge and Marty Kelly 7/8 Geoff James 6/8 Terry Gee and David Wallace Most often “counted in” to the team as a proportion of shoots attended, 100% David Wallace 6/6 Rosco Davis 5/5 Roger King 1/1 Most often “counted in” to the team: 8 times – No one - proves how the Clubs team capacity and capability is spread over all members, 7 - Marty Kelly, David Wallace, 5 times: Brian Houlihan and Rosco Davis Top match scorers, that is, MCSI scores over 90 (equivalent to 60.3 + average for the match in F Standard): Vaughan Murphy 92.4 (nearly 60.5 average), David Wallace 91.9 (60.4 average), Neale Hambridge 91.2 (nearly 60.4 average)

and Graeme Kerr 90.1 (60.3 average) Top MCSI scorers for the pennant rounds were: McAuliffe Shield R1 – Marty Kelly R2 – Vaughan Murphy R3 – Neale Hambridge R4 – Rosco Davis R5 – Vaughan Murphy Chas Hayes Memorial Pennant R1 – Marty Kelly R2 – Graeme Kerr R3 – David Wallace Individual achievements and personal growth: “1st time counted in” to team on MCSI basis (off-rifle): Paul Watkins - Chas Hayes (R2) and Dr. Bob - Chas Hayes (R3) Earliest to the range on shoot days – Brian Houlihan. What we can’t overlook is Brian’s contribution to the team, as a relatively novice “full-bore” competitor. 5 times “counted in” to the team.

Most super-centres on the “short” 500 & 600yds – Neale Hambridge (21) Least super-centres on the “long” 800, 900 & 1000 yds – ZERO – Vaughan Murphy, Graeme Kerr, Neale Hambridge and Geoff James (all in Chas Hayes R3 – the “1000”).

Top individual FO score in DRATeams Matt Frazer Recognition of individual achievement: Rob Chaffe -President, master scribe: 8 pennant articles,1 DRA teams article, 2 Dragon Diesel articles, 1303 shoot article and articles for all of the weeks in between for all of the papers that cover our “Area of Operation”, You Tube author , radio star (UGFM) plus the $ 100,000 sports grant bid to develop our Shooting Sports Complex.

Geoff James, an ECDRA life member, is our most active “Over Eighty shooter" and our Super-Veteran F Std Champion, attended 7/8 pennant shoots, “Counted in” on 3 occasions, our trusted lead wind coach. Geoff has invested in a new barrel and in a new telescope – and we can see why – the last time he shot a really spectacular group was in April (58mm vertical at 500 yards). Now back on tune, the sky is the limit.

Jim Wood: Many members would have not met Jim Wood, veteran target rifle shooter and VRA life member. Jim maintains his membership with the ECDRA and works in the background in the community ensuring we have the support that we enjoy.

Norm Linehan: Our absent friend is currently recuperating in hospital after a serious infection that has threatened his life, and made him unwell for a good portion of the shooting season. we wish him speedy recovery.

Marty Kelly (FTR most of the time) Captain, 3rd VRA Queens, 1st National Long Range Championships. Open size Meeting won: No 11 DRA, Rosedale, Bacchus Marsh, Grantville, No 2 DRA, Wangaratta. Marty gets the Committee’s nod for ECDRA’s “FTR top marksman for 2018”.

David Wallace (F Std): Web master and photographer, 1st VRA Queens (F Std B). Open Prize Meeting’s won: ECDRA (B Grade), Wangaratta (A-Grade – promotion) Winner of Billy Sing match (field class), Dave gets the Committee’s selection as the ECDRA’s “top F Std marksman for 2018.

Paul Watkins: Paul has been laid up for quite a while this year with injury, but has struggled in to support the teams’ competition for 3 pennant matches and the DRA Teams. Being a working man, Saturdays are the shooting days and practice times are hard-earned. Paul is looking for a 60 with his return from the lay-off and that will be coming soon.

YEA GOLF CLUB REPORT WEDNESDAY

■ Bill Dredg e(23) played an excellent round of golf to win the stroke competition on Wednesday.

His 90 off the stick was his personal best and well deserved after the enormous effort he has contributed to working on the course.

Bill won with nett 67, second was Alan Pell (12) with nett 71 and third was Peter Johnston (16) with nett 73.

Neil Peterson won the putting with 28 putts and Michael Spagnolo was NTP on the 18th.

Carl Maffei won the Club Award by one shot from Neil and Michael.

CORPORATE DAY

■ Friday at Royal Yea GC saw a most successful and enjoyable corporate fundraising day played by over 90 golfers.

The course was in marvellous condition, reflecting the many hours volunteered by members to achieve this.

There were over 31 teams playing 3 Person Ambrose. The winning Men’s team was the Royal Mail Hotel of Yea comprising Ross Percy, Darcy Pell and Mark Steiner with 68 off the stick nett 56.

The winning Mixed Team was the Bendigo Bank comprising the State Manager Justine Minne, Regional Manager Shaun Leech and local director Russell Wealands with 73 off the stick nett 57.

He also complimented the club for its course

SATURDAY

■ Peter Johnston (16) with a fine 38 stableford points easily won Saturday’s event.

Second on 34 points was Terry Chaplin, with Kevin Coghlanthird with 33 on CB from Michael Spagnolo.

NTP on the 18th was Jonathon Fisher and the Club Award and $10 went to PeterWilliams with 20 points. Reminder to Club Members to put their names down on the list in the Clubrooms if interested in playing Mansfield GC on November 17.

- Alan Pell

YEA TIGERS CRICKET CLUB REPORT A-GRADE

■ Saturday saw Yea host Kilmore in their first A-Grade home game for the season, with the Tigers winning the toss and electing to bat first.

Despite the loss of an early wicket Yea made steady progress, with Ben Tarran (22) and Cam Armstrong (38) laying a solid foundation for the innings, allowing some freedom for the batsmen lower down the order.

In the latter overs some strong hitting from Andrew Chisholm (32) and Ryan Akers (38no) accelerated the run rate, lifting Yea to a total of 8/152 off their 45 overs.

Kilmore's chase began in much the same way as Yea's innings, with steady but slow progress being made.

Thas was until Corey Malcolm entered the bowling attack and proceeded to bowl a simply outstanding spell, finishing with nine overs, 4/9.

With the score sitting at 5/62 and the required run rate mounting, Yea was well on top. However, a combination of some terrific Kilmore batting, and sloppiness in the field from Yea meant that Kilmore pulled off an unlikely chase, passing Yea's total six wickets down in the final or of the match.

Next weekend Yea travels to Avenel for what now shapes as a must-win match.

- Andrew Chisholm

B-GRADE

■ Yea Tigers travelled to Chittick Park to take on the Royals, Yea were confident going into the match as they had a really strong line up.

Royals won the toss and sent Yea into bat.

From the start Yea struggled, losing Ash Cook first ball of the innings, and other opener Will Dalton on the last ball of the first over.

Dan Evans batted at 4 and looked very comfortable before being dismissed for 8.

Hayden Jannke and Brad Clements hung around for a while, with young Hayden doing a great job making 12.

Yea were dismissed for 52 in total.

Yea started well with the ball, Brad Clements bowled with great speed and clean bowled Royals opener Lewin.

Dan Evans came on early and was getting great turn and grip with his left arm offies, taking two wickets, one of them a cracking catch by brother Patrick.

Unfortunately 52 was always going to be hard to defend, the Royals passing the total four down.

A special mention to young Reece Hargreaves who made his B-Grade debut at the age of 11, and did a great job with 2 not out.

Hopefully the boys respond next weekend home - Ben Broadway

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

Graeme Kerr (FTR some of the time) a very busy Secretary.

Major prizes were: 1st Perc Pavey Grand Agg, VRA Queens Series ,1st David Syme VRA Queens Series. Open Prize Meeting’s won: Karramomus. Winner 2018 VRA Spoon (F Std), Winner of the Billy Sing match (precision rifle class) Andrew Braden: Our “die hard” Target Rifle shooter and “rule 303” shooter has had a tough year, but in spite of this we saw him at a pennant match and the 303 shoot that is his “baby”. We must recognise Andrew for the revival of the 1953 pattern 303 range targets that have inspired a number of enthusiasts, and the end result of his dedication being the codification of these targets into the Hex Systems library available to all users.

Dr Bob: Our Bob Irving has been away in Scotland for the winter helping the Scots make alcohol, which is undoubtedly a very worthy cause. For those that may not realise, firearms and alcohol have had a long nexus with the term proof being a shared experience between a firearm test leading to a “proof mark” and an early lab test for the % alcohol of a spirit (100 proof being the concentration where black powder may just be ignited). In spite of this absence, Bob managed to support the pennant team for the first shoot and the last shoot – in this latter case saving the Team’s bacon during the 1000 yard "washing machine" experience. Over the year, Bob has been a keen on gaining practice on Wednesdays and has moved from novice to capable shot by scoring up to a 60.6 with a good sprinkling of 57, 58 and 59’s with vertical spreads of about 65 mm at 500 yards – it is all coming together.

Brian Houlihan: We are all extremely appreciative of Brian’s support to the club by arriving early and getting equipment set up ready for the match. Sometimes this has included mowing which has made the range look extremely neat and welcoming on match days.

Brian is chief photographer. Good at it too. For a novice full-bore shooter, Brian is no “novice shooter”, and he can be relied upon to produce a good score when it counts. Good for 60’s, 59’s and 58’s on the good days – a good “trigger man” and serious competitor in the making once those full-bore skills get fully developed.

Des Coulter (FO): Des is one of the workingage members who has to make that extra effort to dovetail the shooting sports into work and family life. Des supported our pennant team on three occasions, posting some excellent scores, including a 176.15 just narrowly behind the excellent scores posted by his FO team-mates Terry and Neale.

Roger King (F Std) Winner of the VRA Medal Roger is a quiet achiever and in the quiet spent some time practicing for the Spring Dragon Diesel, to build on his previous success with the Billy Sing. Our opposition did not fail to notice that at the 100 yards “off-hand” event (the one that the hunters were meant to “thrash” us at) we only had the following scores over 20 points on the boards: Target shooters: Graeme (with an ancient 303) and Dave Roger 21 (with an old Omark) v Hunters: Dakin 25, Doug and Billy 24 using their well-practised hunting rifles. Roger admits to muffing his first shot with a trigger that was too light. Roger gets the ECDRA Committee award as top “dark horse” for 2018.

Richard Godden: Richard, as we know, is much more interested in club level shooting than in the teams’ competition, and also carries a strong bent on use of the 303 and weapons preceding. We saw a reduced presence of Richard this year, and he had a very valid excuse of completing a water supply aid project in PNG supporting people our nation owes great debt.

When shooting on Wednesdays, Richard’s targets now reveal that he has developed his skills and equipment to a competitive level, should he contest team shooting in the future. Best Hext System score at 300 yards was 58.2 with a vertical spread of 62 mm. Right on the money.

Vaughan Murphy (F Std) Chief first-aid officer, In spite of having moved to Melbourne’s suburbia, Vaughan has travelled to assist us when it mattered.Three pennant rounds attended, top scoring at two. Vaughan gets the Committee’s selection as ECDRA’s “top trigger puller” with a spectacular 177.17 at the McAuliffe Shield R5 and 175.11 at R2. We still remember last year’s 60.9 at 800 yards with the last shot being 6. Never tell Vaughan not to cut a 6. The shooter who puts fear in the heart of wind judges.

Terry Gee (FO and sometimes F Std) winner of ECDRA Open Prize Shoot. We recognise Terry has retired to life in Bendigo, but his support to our club has not wavered with his recovery from spinal surgery now having supported our DRA Teams shoot at all but 2 of the pennant rounds with strong scores.

Terry has also operated “bunkhouse Golden Square” and we appreciate his generosity to the team in this way, almost as much as his favoured “cream sponges” on pennant days.

Neale Hambridge (FO) Winner of the VRA Medal. Neale gets the Committee’s award for the most cross-fires for any shooter in living memory. We must say, clearly the most improved team shooter having topped the MCSI adjusted score in R3, been “counted in” on 2 other occasions in spite of the FO “handicap penalty”, and posted highly competitive scores for all of the 8 pennant rounds. Neale also contested the Wangarattaand Karramomus OPM’s this year and left un-shamed in very distinguished company in FO. Now the Committee must try and decide the battle-Royal between the experience and cunning of the “old campaigner” Terry and the “up and coming” young Neale.

In Open Prize Meetings Terry has attended 14 OPM events in 2018 and for the last 8 has maintained an average of 97 per cent.

Neal has attended only three in 2018 and maintains an average of 88 per cent. So our Committee must declare Terry as our ECDRA FO Champion marksman.

In the “top FO trigger puller stakes” determined by coached team shoots Terry and Neale shared the mound on six occasions: R2 Terry 171.8 v Neale 168.12 (like the centre count) R3 Terry 177.13 v Neale 178.21 (screamer – best shoot for the McAuliffe Neale) R4 Terry 175.13 v Neale 173.9; LR R2 Terry 115.3 v Neale 114.6; LR R3 Terry 110.3 v Neale 105 Phew! The result if we convert these matches to normalised MCSI scores we have: Neale 80.6, 91.2, 82.7, 82.2, 80.5 & 52.5 (average 78.28) Terry 79.9, 86.1, 84.9, 79.4, 78.8 & 74.6 (average 80.62) So in coached shoots, ever so narrowly by about half a super per shoot Terry takes the Committee’s award as “Top FO trigger puller” as well. Terry, watch your back! Neale watch the wind and watch the target ID numbers!

Rosco Davis, Treasurer. We all know Rosco is a strong supporter of the club, volunteering to mark targets on multiple occasions where the event needs that support. We also know Rosco is more of a team shooter than a solo campaigner.

We must recognise that Rosco, like Vaughan, is indeed an accomplished “trigger puller” having top scored in the pennant rounds on one occasion and being “counted in” on another four occasions.

The other thing we must recognise is that early in the year the club embarked on a program of improving rifles and ammunition, and measuring success by recording vertical MOA in ideal shoot conditions.

Rosco’s rifle and his ammunition, verified in a range of hands, is the club pick capable of regular 10 shot 1/3 MOA vertical groups unmatched by any other equipment. Good rifle.

Good ammo. Good prep. So gets the ECDRA Committee’s award for the best equipment.

Chai Somlong: We all know Chai is part of that minority of ECDRA members, not retired, who must suffer the drudgery of a working life

the time to support the pennant matches on one occasion, and Chai’s enthusiasm is always looked forward to. Chai has also taken an important step in his life – from May 2018 Chai is a 100 per cent Aussie citizen. Congratulations.

Matt Frazer. Our Irish connection has had some distractions this year, he too has found love, and then an overseas trip back to Ireland, and of course that indignity of the working life.

Our thanks are to Matt for: Joining our FO DRA Team, and leading the way with an excellent personal score.

Club achievements: Winner of Autumn Dragon Diesel Challenge ? And 2nd in the Spring?

Close runner-up to Nagambie in the inaugural new Avenel Shield. We are very pleased to see Nagambie build a high performing F Class team that represents true opposition for us “head to head” in 2019 3rd (F Std) DRA 5 man teams. Every time we compete at Bendigo we learn a new skill that will make us unbeatable in the future Resurrected the ‘NewAvenel Shield’ for “off rifle” mixed category teams competition for the entire shooting season (shorts plus longs).

Won Round 3 shooting sports grant for the development of our facilities.

The Club's ongoing Reserve developmen has seen completion of stage one being two netball courts, lighting and infrastructure together with stage two construction of a building providing change rooms, toilets, showers and storage adjacent to the new netball courts at a total cos of $600,000.

Grants totalling $200,000 with the Club supplying the $400,000 balance saw these two stages completed as we now work toward construction of the multi-purpose building, power upgrade and new lighting of the reserve.

The enthusiasm around the Club has been great this year as seen by over 200 people in attendance at the Junior Presentation function at the Club rooms and then 165 tickets sold for the Senior Presentation function at Holmesglen The Club was also pleased to have a number of coaching applications which were discussed and the following appointments made for the 2019 season: Football Under 10 Daniel Crane, Under 12 Stuart Coller with assistant Brad Howell, Under 14 pending, Under 16 pending, Under 18 Scott Ferrier and reserves Scott Whitehead with assistant Jason Krijt.

Netball coaches appointed were Under 11 pending, Under 13 Penny Van Lierop, Under 15 Mandy Gesler, Under 17 pending, D-Grade Karen Richards, C-Grade Michelle Jack with A and B grades pending.

The Club now looks forward to continuing with stages 3 and 4 of the Reserve Development Project as well as the restructure of the AFL Yarra Ranges League as it evolves to consist of three divisions in 2019 due to the inclusion of Clubs from the South East League which has been disbanded.

The Rebels' growth into the future is dependent on everyone getting involved as we intend to make a positive impact on and off the field with juniors and seniors' football and netball in 2019.
