Campbell's Creek Road Bridge Upgrade Design and Construction Murrindindi Shire Council invites suitably qualified contractors to tender for the Campbell's Creek Road Bridge Upgrade Design and Construction.

The project involves design and construction of an upgrade to the Campbell's Creek Bridge located in Campbell's Creek Road, Castella. The bridge shall be single span and comprise of precast reinforced concrete deck panels and concrete beams. It is anticipated that the existing piled footings and abutments will be used as part of the upgrade.

Kinglake West/Pheasant Creek renaming survey Murrindindi Shire Council is seeking your feedback on a request from members of the Kinglake West/Pheasant Creek Community for Council to consider renaming the areas of Kinglake West and Pheasant Creek to the single name of Kinglake West-Pheasant Creek.

In 2015 an Independent Planning Panel (C54) reviewed a proposed update to the Local Planning Policy Framework for Murrindindi Shire. One of the matters raised in public submissions to the Panel was the need for Kinglake West and Pheasant Creek to be recognised as a single settlement.

Since that time members of the community have continued to raise with Council a desire to have the names of Kinglake West and Pheasant Creek, including residential addresses in those areas, formally changed to Kinglake WestPheasant Creek.

Now is the time for you to have your say and ensure that your views are shared with Council by taking part in a survey.

Council has not formed a view on this suggestion.

Further information, including the specification and tender documents, can be downloaded from Council's e-tendering portal www.tendersearch.com.au/ murrindindi/. Enquiries and documentation must be lodged through the e-tendering portal.

All views are welcome and the results will be used by Council in determining if further consideration should be given to renaming Kinglake West and Pheasant Creek areas to a single locality known as Kinglake West-Pheasant Creek, or leaving the current names as they currently are.

The survey is open until 5pm on Friday 30 November 2018.

Documentation must be lodged by 3pm on Friday 30 November 2018. Lodgment details are contained within the tender documentation.

For more information and to complete the survey go to www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au/ publiccomment or contact Council on 5772 0333.

Mayor McAulay

● New Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay makes a presentation to outgoing Mayor Cr Charlie Bisset ■ Murrindindi Shire has a new Mayor for the next 12 months. Cr Sandice McAulay was elected to the top municipal position at the Council’s special meeting held at Alexandra last Wednesday (Oct. 31).

Kinglake Ward councillor Leigh Dunscombe will be Deputy Mayor.

■ FEMALE-FRIENDLY change rooms at Yea Recreation Reserve would be funded by a re-elected Labor State Government, says local MLC Jaclyn Symes.

“The $234,000 project will allow for more programs to increase female participation, by upgrading the outdated male-only facilities to modern, accessible, unisex change rooms for homeand-away teams,” said Ms Symes.

The Labor candidate for the Lower House seat of Eildon, Sally Brennan, joined Ms Symes at the Rec. to announce the promise.

Representatives of the Yea Football-Netball Club, and Murrindindi Shire Council, were present to hear the news.

Ms Symes said Ms Brennan had campaigned to secure the funding.

“Labor is getting on with the job of helping Yea sporting clubs deliver the infrastructure they need to grow their membership,” Ms Symes said.

Ms Brennan welcomed the Government funding: “This is a fantastic result for the Yea community. This is an important project that will help both the Yea Football and Cricket Clubs cater for more members as well as providing welcoming facilities for visiting teams.

“Football and netball clubs are the lifeblood of country Victoria, where families make friends, young people become stars and the community gathers to support and connect.”

Showtime in Alexandra ● Jaclyn Symes MLC and Labor candidate Sally Brennan Labor supporters will be hoping that a small slip of the tongue will be an omen for their local candidate, Sally Brennan. Yea Football-Netball Club President Brad Watts, at last week’s funding announcement at the Yea Rec. Reserve, introduced Ms Brennan as the “Member for Eildon”. The small blooper created smiles at the gathering.

● A good word for ... the army of volunteers who worked at the Whittlesea Show on Saturday and Sunday (and before, and afterwards).

■ Up to half of all votes for this year's Victorian election are expected to be cast before election day, with political parties adapting their campaigns to reach the maximum number of voters, says the ABC.

Alexandra RIT was represented by Crs Gilmour and Cumming, Rod Sloan, Larry Naismith and Steve Lomax.

Mums criticised ■ Cr Ken Olcorn criticised the driving of Kinglake mums driving their children to school. “You drive around there at 60-kmh and you have someone in your boot,” the Councillor told the Yea Shire Council meeting. “It’s mainly the mothers taking the children to school”. The mums were also criticised by Shire Engineer Stan Kisler for the speeds at which they drove.

50-year anniversary

■ The 50-year anniversary of the Yea branch of the Country Women’s Association was celebrated in 1988 at the Yea Shire Hall.

Equal rights for firefighters ■ All Victorian firefighters will have equal access to cancer compensation if a Liberal Nationals State Government is elected on November 24.

Cindy McLeish, Eildon MLA,said a Government led

by Matthew Guywill introduce a Presumptive Legislation Bill in the first parliamentary sitting week of 2019, if elected this month Ms McLeish said the bill would ensure all career and volunteer firefighters have fair and timely access to cancer compensation.

“Daniel Andrews has let down all firefighters by using the legislation as a political tool over the last four years rather than really looking after the interests and well being of our firefighters," Ms McLeish said.

"He has had several opportunities to get this legislation through the Parliament but

● Cindy McLeish MLA each time he has put the interests of his union mates first.

"Rural communities in particular rely heavily on our volunteer firefighters who put the interests of their communities first.

“The best way we can pay volunteers is by respecting and protecting them and their families in their time of need.

“Labor lied to firefighters when they promised this legislation would be introduced within 100 days of the 2014 state election.

“When Labor finally introduced their proposed laws they discriminated against volunteer firefighters who were not covered and tied the cancer compensation to reforms to tear apart the CFA. "I am committed to supporting our volunteer firefighters and protecting their rights.”

The Liberals’ presumptive legislation would cover the 12 specified diseases consistent with the legislation previously introduced in Parliament.

“Victoria is currently the only state in Australia that doesn’t offer cancer presumptive rights compensation to volunteer firefighters,” Ms McLeish said.

What The Papers Say $2.45m CFA home

■ Broadford will have a new multi-milliondollar fire station by the end of the year as the town’s new emergency services hub takes shape.

The new CFA station on Hamilton St will replace the current fire station as it no longer meets the needs of the Broadford Fire Brigade’s volunteers.

The station will be co-located with an Ambulance Victoria station — Broadford’s first ever ambulance station.

$250,000 boost

■ Yarra Valley Racing is to receive a funding boost of $103,000 from the Victorian State Government, as part of total investments of more than $250,000, announced by Minister for Racing, Martin Pakula.

Yarra Valley Racing Chairman, David Long, said that getting people to the races relies as much on entertainment as it does on the actual racing.

“These days people demand more than just watching races, we have to make it a pleasant experience to get them here and get them to come back again. Otherwise they can just sit at home and watch the races on the TV,” he said.

From Our 1938 Files

Alex. P&A Assoc.

■ At a meeting of the committee on Friday last (the president, Mr. T. C. Fox, in the chair), various matters in connection with the an nual show were discussed.

The show will be officially opened by Sir Charles Merritt, President of the Royal Society, and it was decided that a toast list should be introduced at the official luncheon.

A special train from Yea was approved of, and it was decided to insure for £25 against 10 points of rain on Show morning. A proposal for a £50 policy was opposed, some members being in favor of allowing the rain policy to lapse this year.

W’sea Personals

■ Mr. J. E. Davison, stationmaster at Whittlesea, is at present on leave. He is being relieved by Mr. Cugley Mr. and Mrs R. A Black, of Thorpdale, having bought the property atArthur's Creek formerly farmed by Mr. J. G. Murphy, took possession on Thursday of last wek. Mr. Black intends to go in for sheep-farming.

Publican’s booth

■ Tenders are invited in this issue for the Publican's Booth at the Diamond Valley Horse Show and Sports meeting to be held at Hurstbridge on January 2.

Local sick list

■ Friends of Mr Arch. Sutherland of Arthur's Creek will be glad to learn that he is recovering from his recent illness.

Mr W.H. Mills of Yarra Glen, whose horse fell and rolled on his leg, crushing the ankle about six weeks ago, is now able to walk again, though it will be some time before his foot is completely well.

Cinema at Alex.

■ Ginger Rogers and James Stewart are the co-stars in Vivacious Lady, she as a sophisticated night club entertainer and he as a naive young professor from a small town college.

The complications that follow a one-night courtship and sudden marriage lend drama, poignancy and merriment to the comedy, and stamp it one of the screen hits of the day.

Snake at W. Glen

■ While two residents of Wattle Glen were awaiting the train in the shelter shed at the station a few days ago they were startled to see a snake enter the doorway. The snake blocked their egress so they could not go out for a stick. Fortunately the train arrived a few minutes later and the snake was killed by Mr. Edmunds, of the train crew.

J. Mills, a pupil at the Wattle Glen school, killed a snake that appeared near the tank in the school grounds this week.

Mothers’ Club

■ A very successful and enjoyable Social evening was the second birthday party of the South Morang Mothers' Club. Euchre prizes were won by Miss Dobney and Mrs. Thompson; gents' prizes by Mr. H. Fagg and Cr. J. Orgill. Competition prizes were won

by Lavina Dare and Ray Junor.

Spot dance prize was won by Miss Marshall and Mr. Powell; Monte Carlo by Miss Robson and Mr. T. Benson. Cr J. Smith presided. Mesdames R. Smith, Orgill and Daly cut the birthday cake. Cr. and Mrs. Daley paid their first visit to South Morang. Mr. Jenner of South Preston was M.C.

Armistice Day

■ Mr. A. G. Mongan, of Main road, Eltham, who is acting senior timekeeper at the Jolimont Workshops, was entrusted with tie imporant duty of blowing the siren at the workshops for the two minutes' silence on Armistice Day (to.-day). This siren gives the signal to the whole of Melbourne to observe the silcnce, for on its being sounded, the guns in the Domain are fired, and the two minutes' silence in the city commenes.

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 Politics $1bn for roads ■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish says that a Liberal Government will invest $1 billion in upgrading and repairing country roads and bridges.

"When it comes to fixing country roads, Labor hasn't delivered - they have lost control,” Ms McLeish said.

"Over the last four years I have been a strong voice to fix local roads across our region, but most of the time, the city-centric Andrews Labor Government does not want to listen.

"That's why a Liberal Government will invest $1 billion over 10 years in a new Roads Fix Blitz Program, because fixing country roads saves country lives."

Funding for the $1 billion Road Fix Blitz will be made up of $400 million for the Country Roads and Bridges program, another $400 million for targeted road restoration and a $200 million boost for general road maintenance.

"The $1 billion Road Fix Blitz will also invest to improve roads before they begin to break down which will save lives and save taxpayers in the long run,” Ms McLeish said.

“This approach has been supported by the Auditor-General who found in 2016 that Labor was critically underspending on road maintenance.”

Under the project, VicRoads will be instructed to develop a program of works each year based on input from the community and stakeholders.

The $1 billion in funding will be in addition to existing road maintenance and restoration initiatives delivered by VicRoads.

A new smart phone app will also be developed to allow motorists to report road hazards in real-time.

"This will revolutionise response times for urgent repair work to minimise the danger of accidents that result in injury or worse," Ms McLeish said Ms McLeish also put down claims that Labor is investing in country roads.

"Labor has claimed it is providing $1 billion to fix country roads but that's just not true.

“Only $165 million has been allocated for repair and maintenance and $100 million for local roads over the next two years."

"The rest of that money is being spent on major highway upgrades and the creation of Regional Roads Victoria. New branding and a website doesn't fix potholes.

"People don't want to see more patch-up jobs. They want proper fixes to get back in control of regional road maintenance, and the Liberals in government will deliver," Ms McLeish said.

Yea roadworks

■ Ahead of the State Election on November 24, the Andrews Labor Government has promised road upgrades in Murrindindi Shire.

More than $600,000 in works were announced by Northern Victoria MLC Jaclyn Symes, and Eildon Labor candidate Sally Brennan: ■ Ghin Ghin Rd safety improvement which will include installing safety barriers on the existing ridges/major culverts, sealing one road entry and reconstruction of a 700m section of failed road pavement, ■ Jorgensen Pde (Kinglake West/Pheasant Creek) heavy vehicle access improvement which will see an extension of the sealed section and upgrading the existing pavement to allow for higher use and regular steel delivery to a modular manufacturing firm.

■ High St, Yea traffic management review to address parking impacts and traffic circulation.

“It is abusy strip shopping commercial district that caters for high volume tourist traffic both winter and summer seasons,” Ms Symes said.

“These are great projects identified by Murrindindi Shire that will not only improve safety on local roads but will also examine how to make High St safer for locals and tourists.

“We know how important road safety is to country Victorians and that is why Labor is infvesting in local projects.”

Race clubs will be winners ■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish has announced grassroots country racing clubs will get a fairer share of industry funding under an elected Liberal Government.

Ms McLeish said local clubs including Alexandra, Healesville, Mansfield, Merton and Yea were among more than 20 thoroughbred racing clubs in country communities to miss out under Labor's fund for Victoria's racing industry.

Ms McLeish said unlike Labor, the Liberals will ensure all country clubs get their fair share of the $33 million fund, to be provided over two years.

"Thriving country racing clubs support local economies across country Victoria," Ms McLeish said.

"Our plan to give country racing clubs their fair share will help boost prize money at local races and attract more trainers and owners to races in Regional Victoria."

● Races clubs like Yea will receive funding.

Council News Pop-up cinema

● A pop-up cinema like this will be held at Eildon next month.

Photo: Supplied Image ■ Murrindindi Shire Council will be working with Cinema Pop Up, to bring Eildon residents an outdoor cinema event.

Cr Jackie Ashe said the pop up cinema will be at the Eildon Recreation Reserve and will run for four nights between ThursdaySunday, December 20-23.

"We know our community is really keen to have access to a range of recreation and entertainment opportunities,” said cr Ashe.

“So we made it a priority in our Council Plan 2017-2021 to support the type of recreation opportunities that encourage participation and community connections.

“The pop-up cinema is just that - a great opportunity for the community to get together in the lead up to Christmas and the summer holiday period.

"What a lovely way to spend a summer night - under the stars, watching a movie with family and friends.

I really encourage everyone to book in for what is sure to be a wonderful experience.

“In even better news, if you book online, it's totally free to attend - tickets are limited though, so be sure to snap yours up sooner rather than later.

"We're really proud to be working with TAC to promote their important road safety messages," Cr Ashe said.

TAC senior road safety manager Samantha Cockfield said the pop up cinema is a new way for the TAC to get its road safety message into regional Victoria.

"Victorians are four times more likely to die on country roads so we're always looking for new ways to help country Victorians get home safely, every time they get behind the wheel," Ms Cockfield said.

Cinema Pop Up Director Kate Hardwick said she was excited to bring an event of this calibre to regional Victoria.

"These are the types of experiences you'd traditionally only be able to access in metro cities, so it is really special for us to make this available for regional communities," Ms Hardwick said.

For more information or to book your tickets, visit www.cinemapopup.com.au. Tickets are free if you book online. They will also be available for purchase at the gate from $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Local Arts ■ YeaArts Inc and (Just Shows to Go), you've done it again.

Finishing off the year's offerings with a serving of culture the district would not have experienced, if it hadn't been for the passion and desire of the core committee members who felt that this would be an edifying injection to finish the year.

Bollywood not your cup of tea? Those who chose to sip from the cup of hot steaming culture that was being served this past Friday night at the Glenburn Community Hall, would have experienced a show steeped in culture, rhythm, dance and style that was enervating and a whole-body experience in more ways than one.

With a swirl of rhythm, music and beauty all wrapped in the vivid colours of lighting and costume, Bollywood was an eye-catching, earseducing treat.

Dancer and singer Parvyn Singh, led her company of two professional dancers and teachers, Ida Ghate and Shamita Sivabalan and melded from the traditional 'kathak' dance into more modern and contemporary styles of the dance, nothing disappointed.

The dancers used every part of their bodies to portray the story they were telling, from eyes to bare flat-footed stomping with bells on; fluid arm to delicate finger tip undulations that would make a rap dancer's jaw drop, and swirling and twirling that would make a Dervish blush.

In places they were accompanied by traditional stringed instruments sitar and dilruba (an Indian bowed instrument) and colour graced the stage for the evening of entertainment not experienced before in this region.

The expertise of all involved was breathtaking. Josh Bennett on guitar (sitar and dilruba), made the complex rhythms and instrumentals seemingly effortless and the connection between the musicians and the dancers was palpable.

As for Jay Dabgar's work on the tabla, (two variable pitched traditional drums played with the hands) it was like watching two fighting tarantulas in overdrive as he struck the skins with every part of his hands at super speed.

And the dancing didn't stop there. Following interval Parvyn involved the audience in a little Bollywood action, encouraging all to capture some of the moves they had been enjoying for the night. Not quite your Live Aid Concert but a lot of fun.

It is re show and be completely engaged in what is going on on stage without a chance for contemplation of 'could I do this myself' ?

What Bollywood offered was a complete immersion in the culture for an evening. It was refreshingly satifying like an excellent cup of tea.

Yea Arts Inc. wish esto thank: the committee members of the Glenburn Hall for supper they provided - tastefully proving to be a great accompaniment to the interval cups of tea, coffee, beer and wine; the Yea Community Bank, the Royal Mail Hotel and Sedona Estate.

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.

Starbucks sells stores ■ 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.

Grow a beard

■ 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.

■ 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.

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).

■ 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).

■ 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?

Local Paper Magazine

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: HOTEL ARTEMIS: Genre: Action/Crime/Sci-Fi. Cast: Jodie Foster, Sofia Boutella, Dave Bautista, Jeff Goldblum.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 94 Minutes.

Stars: *** Verdict: A woman known as "The Nurse" runs a high-security, members-only hospital in a rundown hotel for high-rolling criminals in a near future riot torn Los Angeles, but when a bank robber brings his injured teammates along with priceless jewels there, a mob boss follows, and the hospital is soon under siege, and "The Nurse," her orderly and other criminal patients have to defend themselves.

Slick and quirky multi-layered hybrid themed fusion of numerous '80s pop culture retro classics, most notably Steve De Jarnett's "Miracle Mile" and "Cherry 2000," Alex Cox's "Repo Man" and "Straight To Hell," along with the Coen Bros, "Barton Fink," Terry Gilliam's "Brazil," a touch of "Blade Runner" and the more recent "John Wick" works for the most part, and despite any flaws there's enough here to praise, by packing more than enough down-trodden gritty style and atmosphere to keep interest high.

Membership and rules of the day are quickly established as riots rip a battle torn Los Angeles apart outside, with Oscar winning screen veteran and legend Jodie Foster giving a delightfully begrudging performance as "The Nurse" preparing for the arrival of a new batch of wounded criminals, joined by a beefy Dave Bautista displaying nice comic timing as her trusty aid, along with an array of unorthodox guests that include Sofia Boutella as an assassin, Sterling K. Brown as a wounded bank robber and Jeff Goldblum as the mobboss, The Wolf King.

However, the real star here is the rundown Artemis hotel as the high security hospital for criminals on the run, a decaying fortress with Art Deco design that reflects the moral and cultural decadence, an eerily gothic remnant kept alive only as needed to serve its purpose .... and the icing on the cake in creating a wildly overthe-top, witty, violent, illogical, satirical and certifiably insane BMovie entertainment pot-boiler that has cult classic stamped all over it.

FILM: GOTTI: Genre: Biography/Crime/Drama.

Cast: John Travolta, Spencer Rocco Lofranco, Kelly Preston, Stacy Keach.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 112 Minutes.

Stars: No Stars.

Verdict: Biographical crime-drama that chronicles the reign of crime boss John Gotti, and his rise as the head of the Gambino Crime Family in New York City, along with his son and his wife until his death in prison in 2002.

If there was to be the definitive film on crime-boss/gangster John Gotti, this definitely isn't it, an over-stuffed fashion parade of mob suits, flashy cars, sunglasses an hair styles to match that is patched together from a poorly written screenplay, flat direction, uninspired and lifeless performances, sloppy and almost incoherent editing, and totally lacking in any real emotion or drama .... as animated and exciting as the corpse of a mob hit languishing in concrete boots at the bottom of a New York river.

Languishing in development hell for several years with numerous directors and actors, including Barry Levinson and Al Pacino, it should have stayed there, but this passion project for John Travolta, is a dismal effort that unintentionally borders on comic parody, and it would not have been at all surprising if Travolta had broken into song at any point, which would have made it far more entertaining and watchable.

A dismal misfire, this makes the awful puppet-murder-mystery "The Happytime Murders" look like "The Godfather" by comparison!

FILM: MY DINNER WITH HERVE: Genre: B iography/Drama.

Cast: Jamie Dornan, Peter Dinklage, Andy Garcia, David Strathairn.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 110 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: A look at the life and final days of French actor Hervé Villechaize, co-star of the James Bond blockbuster "The Man With The Golden Gun" (as Nick-Nack), and the hit '70s TV series "Fantasy Island" (as Tattoo), who died in 1993 at the age of 50.

Based a true story, "My Dinner W ith Hervé" explores the unlikely friendship between the world's once most famous French dwarf actor and a struggling Irish journalist, Danny Tate, as it unfolds over one wild night in L.A. in 1993, and in the process reveals a raw, honest, humorous and deeply felt journey, as it was written and directed by Sacha Gervasi, the actual character that Danny Tate is based upon.

A long time pet project for "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage, he captures and embraces Hervé Villechaize with a firm emotional grip and force, delivering a wildly outrageous, vivid, complex and unnerving portrait of a tortured individual and fallen star with a manic energy that will remain a highpoint in an already remarkable, well balanced by Jamie Dornan as the frustrated and reluctant, but ultimately sympathetic journalist.

Also featuring a stellar line-up of supporting cast members including Andy García as "Fantasy Island" co-star Ricardo Montalbán and David Strathairn as Villechaize's long-time agent, this is snapshot on the dark side of the Hollywood dream, the confessions, adventures and misadventures of a man who said at the end "I regret nothing," a vibrant, compelling, moving, frustrating, respectful and thought provoking study of personal pain, Hollywood fame and the spell it can so blindly bind.

Rourke’s Reviews Journey’s End ■ (M). 108 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas November 8.

Though effectively shot and staged, the latest version of the oftfilmed play by R.C. Sherriff unfortunately truncates and remoulds the material, stripping away much of its dramatic impact and layered humanity.

The story is the same, with Michael Fassbender lookalike Sam Claflin as Stanhope, Asa Butterfield as Raleigh, Stephen Graham as Trotter, Paul Bettany as Osborne, Tom Sturridge as Hibbert, and Toby Jones as Mason.

Simon Reade's streamlined screenplay excises almost all of the humour (and because of that, what's left doesn't really work), diluting the soldiers' individual mindset, and along with the compression of dramatic elements, makes the drama become somewhat repetitious and one-note.

Performances are okay (Bettany is a levelling presence), but are hampered by the awkwardly reworked dialogue, which sounds a little too artificial at times.

Director Saul Dibb (Bullet Boy, The Duchess) is allowed to open the story up more, but despite the more realistically depicted scenes of mud and blood, and appropriately moody cinematography by Ben Wheatley regular Laurie Rose (High-Rise, Free Fire, Journeyman), this lacks the emotional intensity and complexity of the 1930 classic.

RATING - ***

Journey’s End ■ (PG) (1930). 116 minutes.

Brilliantly manoeuvring between drama, comedy, and tragedy, this vividly crafted film towers over the new version opening in cinemas this week, and has influenced many war movies and TV shows over the decades (from Gallipoli to Blackadder Goes Forth).

Based on the acclaimed 1928 play by R.C. Sherriff (which starred a young Laurence Olivier), the story is set in the trenches near Saint-Quentin, Aisne, where a new British Army infantry company has just arrived.

With a German attack predicted to happen at any moment, each company has to spend six days on the front line.

Part of this latest group are Captain Stanhope (Colin Clive), Lt. 'Uncle' Osborne (Ian Maclaren), Second Lt. Trotter (Billy Bevan), Second Lt. Hibbert (Anthony Bushell), Private Mason (Charles K. Gerrard), and young Second Lt. Raleigh (David Manners), who has just joined the company.

Raleigh knew and idolised Stanhope back at school, but after three years of witnessing the horrors of war first-hand, the youngster now sees a very different person in front of him, one who is psychologically scarred, using alcohol to try and dull the pain and fear he feels inside.

As the date of the attack is discovered, the company attempt to brace themselves for what is to

Like the play, the film almost entirely takes place in the officers' dugout, but despite its obvious stage origins, this is far from a stagey, static adaptation.

Brilliantly directed by the legendary James Whale (Frankenstein, Bride Of Frankenstein, The Old Dark House), and faithfully scripted

by Gareth Gundrey and Joseph Moncure March, the film breathlessly switches between humour and horror (the running gag involving Mason's cooking skills predates M*A*S*H by decades), bringing these damaged, tired souls to believable life.

Helping deliver this emotional punch is a gallery of first-rate performances, particularly Clive (Frankenstein, Mad Love), who absolutely shines as the increasingly fractured Stanhope.

Ahead of its time, Journey's End makes a great companion piece with Lewis Milestone's outstanding All Quiet On The Western Front (1930).

RATING - ****½

Gallipoli ■ (PG) (1981). 110 minutes. Now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Still the best Australian war film ever made, 37 years after it was first released in cinemas.

The story of two young men (perfectly played by Mel Gibson and Mark Lee) who sign up to experience the excitement of battle, only to discover too late the true horrors of war, still compels, entertains, and moves, with a wonderful sense of humour that makes its turn into tragedy all-the-more poignant. Intelligently scripted by playwright David Williamson, and sensitively directed by Peter Weir, this is mustsee viewing, dealing with a subject that is sadly still all-too relevant today.

RATING - ****½

They Shall Not Grow Old

■ (PG). 99 minutes. November11 only at selected cinemas.

Using cutting edge technology, Oscar-winning film-maker Peter Jackson (Heavenly Creatures, the Lord Of The Rings trilogy) has stunningly restored archival war footage, to commemorate the centennial of the end of WWI. Starting by successfully slowing the frame rate to normal speed, Jackson and his expert technical crew have then meticulously cleaned and colourised the footage, bringing these brave souls to life like we have never witnessed before.

Accompanying the astonishing visuals are carefully selected audio interviews, carried out but he BBC in the 1960s, of those who survived the war, and this immersive blend of sight and sound beautifully humanises these once-faded faces in truly unforgettable fashion.

Screened in the UK in 3D (but will be 2D only here), please check your local film guides to see where They Shall Not Grow Old is screening.

Deck-Doc

Local company chosen as best in the world

For many years Deck-Doc has been supplying retailers throughout Australia with their premium range of timber and decking oils.

For the past three years, Deck-Doc has been predominantly selling their products online to service the whole of Australia as well as international customers.

Deck-Doc was recently chosen over other companies to supply their oils to an international company and is in the process of sealing an agency agreement for exclusive distribution and selling rights in Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Deck-Doc timber oil is environmentally friendly and the business has been manufacturing unique, lanolin-based timber oil in Geelong for 15 years.

The formula was developed by Robert Hylands to preserve the natural oils and tannins in the timber.

The timbers oils and tannins determine the colour of the timber.

If the tannins dry out, the timber will lose its own natural colour.

The formula is made up of many different plant oils, waxes and lanolin and designed to stay soft and pliable when absorbed into the surface layers of the timber, therefore will not solidify and form a hard membrane of the surface.

It will move with the timber during all weather conditions preventing water absorption and drying out of the tannins.

Mr Hylands first developed the timber oil when he noticed there was nothing on the market that preserved the timber and protected the timber’s natural colour.

Before his time at Deck-Doc, he gained experience when he owned a factory making hand carved, handpainted wooden decoy ducks for duck hunters.

The timber used for the ducks had to maintain its natural colour and stay on the water without absorbing moisture.

After extensive research, he found lanolin (wool grease) gave excellent water repellency as well as UV protection.

Mr Hylands developed lanolin-based timber protection oil and found the water-repellent protection and preservative way far superior and says lanolin is “Nature’s natural UV protection”.

Lanolin comes from the wool of sheep and is extracted from the fleece.

It is a substance that waterproofs, insulates, and protects sheep from the cold, wind, rain and harmful CV sun rays.

Deck-Doc uses the best merino wool to extract lanolin.

Throughout history ancient mariners such as the Vikings used lanolin to protect, waterproof and preserve the wooden boards on their ships.

Many of the ships were away from their home bases for many years and their ships were subjected to wild storms at sea.

They survived thanks to the protection of Lanolin.

Deck-Doc invites all to visit their showroom in Moolap for free advice in a number of important issues concerning timber care.

There is a large selection of timber types that have been exposed to severe weather conditions, enabling people to understand the importance of choosing a suitable timber type. for the right application.

Also know what happens to the different types of decking stains and coatings, how they weather, and the maintenance required.

The friendly staff have useful hints for anyone preparing to build a new deck.

■ I know it is a terrible thing to say, but when I was a boy, we always referred to Laurel and Hardy as "fat" and "skinny."

They were clearly identified because they seemed to always wear the same clothes and those black bowler hats.

We had great laughs from two brilliant characters who were possibly the best film comedy team of the 20th century.

Arthur Stanley Jefferson was born in 1890 in Ulverston, Lancashire, England.

His father was a showman and by the time young Stanley was 16 he was already appearing in stage productions.

In 1912 he emigrated to the USA with the Fred Karno Touring Group. He changed his name to Stan Laurel and drifted into acting in silent films.

Norvell Hardy was born in 1892 in Harlem, Georgia. He was quite young when his father died and Norvell took his father's name to become Oliver Hardy.

He showed great bravery when he saved his younger brother from drowning when the boy fell through a hole in a frozen river.

In his late teens Oliver was working as a singer and operated a picture theatre. He joined Lubin Motion Pictures in Florida working on the crew and learning the film business. Oliver began acting in the silent films and had a great flair for comedy.

Laurel and Hardy appeared in the film The

Whatever Happened To ...

Laurel & Hardy

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM

Lucky Dog in 1921, but not as a team. Their first two-reel silent film as a comedy duo was Putting Pants on Philip in 1927 and they were an instant box office success.

They worked for the Hal Roach Studios at MGM and then made films at Twentieth Century Fox. They starred together in 23 full length feature films. Their films included Sons of the Desert, Blockheads, Way Out West, The Flying Deuces, Air Raid Wardens and their Academy Awardwinning short, The Music Box. The late Ronnie Ronalde, the famous singer, whistler and yodeler, appeared with them onstage.

Several years ago, Ronnie showed me a

● Laurel and Hardy small statue of a blackbird which was given to him by the team as a gift to show their appreciation for Ronnie's hit song If I Were A Blackbird.

In 1954 Laurel and Hardy were surprised to appear on the television show - This Is Your Life.

Oliver Hardy passed away in 1957 after a long illness. I have visited the wonderful Laurel and Hardy Museum in Stan's home town of Ulverston, England.

The museum is filled with items belonging to Stan such as his bed, ashtrays and his typewriter where we would respond to fans.

Up until the day he died in 1965 his name was in the LA telephone book.

I stood outside the house where he was born and there is a statue of Stan in the town square Their signature tune The Dance of the Cuckoos introduced Laurel and Hardy to their legion of fans throughout the world.

Stan was married four times and was always in trouble with the ladies. He was sued by his first partner Mae Dahlberg, who came from Brunswick, for financial support. Oliver Hardy was married twice during his lifetime.

The new film Stan and Ollie starring John C Reilly and Steve Coogan will open in Australia in January and it has already received rave reviews in the UK. Kevin Trask Kevin can be heard on 3AW The Time Tunnel - on Nightline - Thursdays at 10.10pm with Philip Brady and Simon Owens.

Theme park’s lively feathered dusters OK. With John O’Keefe $400,000 radio windfall

■ Melbourne radio station SYN, which broadcasts from RMIT University, will enter 2019 with a $ 400,000 grant from the Labo r Government.

Money will go towards new equipment, one-to-one mentoring and workshops. Over recent years SYN has tutored more than 1000 applicants with many going onto gainful employment within the radio industry.

Jack of all trades

■ Our counterpart in London reports the launch of an all-female radio station calledJack. Despite the branding the new station will be wall-to-wall women presenters delivering a mix of female news, female comedy – everything female orientated .

Not that it was broadcast on Jack but our Kyles (Minogue) was paid $3,368,900 for three shows in London. At fees like this Kylie is out of contention forThe Local Paper’s Christmas party.

■ A theme park in France has come up with a novel way of cleaning up cigarette butts and other trash dropped by untidy guests.

It’s trained a half-dozen crows to pick up the butts and other discarded small items, and to drop them into special litter bins that dispense a small nugget of bird food as a reward for every time a crow drops something into them.

The Puy du Fou theme park in western France attracts around twomillion visitors yearly, and with the country considered “the smoking-est in the world,” it’s not surprising that the park – which is a fascinating recreation of a French village of old, with some 26 different live-action scenarios in which actors play-out aspects of the country’s historic past – has something of a cigarette-butt problem.

And which its head of falconry, Christophe Gaborit who trains birds

Salute to Brockie

Struth

with David Ellis

● A “Feathered Duster” on the job at the Puy du Fou theme park in France picking up small bits of trash and cigarette butts, to put into special bins that reward the birds with little food treats. for those various shows, came up with an answer to by training a half-dozen crows to spot cigarette butts and other small items of litter, pick them up and put them into those special bins … with food treats as a reward for doing so.

The crows are a breed known as rooks, and according to Mr Gaborit they’re a particularly intelligent species that have proven ideal in training for their current roles.

And it’s probably no surprise that the good-housekeeping birds have been quickly dubbed The Feathered Dusters.

- David Ellis

■ Admittedly it was way off-peak time that I happened to turn on Channel One and started to watch a repeat of Jake and the Fatman. The plot featured an undercover sting on a motor car racket featuring lots of racey girls and fast cars. The bad boy actor was one very good looking dude who the scriptwriter christened Peter Brock. Doubt it was a coincidence, more likely an LA scriptwriter demonstrating his lack of originality.

Tongue Talk

■ Kiss will make their final Melbourne appearance on November 21-22 at Rod Laver Arena. The band isrenowned for never saying never, so who knows if this really will be their last gig? To me their most memorable appearance was the 1980 media conference when Norman Gunston posed as a reporter for the Mike Willisee Show. Norman, aka Garry McDonald, asked the most embarrassing questions and left the Kiss members thinking Australia was a land of freaks.

Farewell Lindy

■ Very sad to see Lindy Burns leave her evening post at the ABC. Lindy has been dealt a sad blow with the loss of her mother and news that her brother has been dIognosed with cancer.

■ I'm being given a tasting tour of the Cassegrain winery at Port Macquarie, on the NSW MidNorth Coast, by Alex Cassegrain, who is gradually taking over winemaking responsibilities under the watchful eye of his father John, who started the business in 1985.

We spend quite a bit of time 'looking at' - for that read 'tasting' a barrel sample of 2018 Tumbarumba chardonnay.

It's made from grapes that originate in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains - decidedly cool country that Alex is sure is the state's best location for the variety.

After some argument - which includes refilling my tasting glass a couple of times - he convinces me.

It's a fine, elegant, complex dry white that will soon after bottling have lost its obviously oaky edge.

Alex sources his fruit mainly from the cool spine of NSW - the country to the immediate west of the Great Dividing Range, from New England, through Orange, the Hilltops around Young, to the Canberra district and Tumbarumba.

It's fairly different to the fruit sourcing initially used by John, who at first and by necessity took most of his material from the warm coastal area around Port Macquarie.

Just about midway between Sydney and Brisbane, right on the coastal route of the Pacific Highway, was about the perfect location for a fine restaurant and a cellar

The main issue was at Eildon, where the establishment of the new town and construction of the new wall, required a resident Curate.

■ June 1951: Central Council -with Rev. Taylor in the Chair and Archdeacon Chesterfield in attendance, received correspondence from the State Rivers & Water Supply Commission offering four propositions for a site and new Church at Eildon, including shifting the old Church or building a new Church, but in each case, while it would be an Anglican Church, initially, other Churches could use the building, until they established their own buildings.

Local History From Previous Page ■ September 1953: Central Council - The Rector advised of correspondence from State Rivers & Water Supply Commission, that the Church would be sold the site in the new Eildon town for £100 and that a deposit of £20 had been paid. The Council offered a compromise.

He also advised that in relation to the 1946 sale of Alexandra land behind the Rectory, there were surveying problems and the Title could not be resolved.

Renovations to the Rectory were also discussed and working bees from all centres were requested to reduce the estimated cost of £500.

■ 1954: Central Committee - Rev. Taylor, Marysville - Mr. Cuzens, Alexandra - Mr. Fitzroy, Thornton - Mr. Sparke and Mr. Rollason, Eildon - Mrs. Anstey, Buxton - Mrs. Gibbs, Taggerty - Mr. Webb and Mr. Walker, Kanumbra - E. Fox, Narbethong - A. Stanley.

■ December 1954: Central Council - Advised that State Rivers & Water Supply Commission was insisting on £100 for the Eildon Site and the balance had been paid.

■ February 20, 1955:Annual General Meeting - Rev. Taylor in the Chair. General Account £465, Parish hall £325. Wardens - Reg. Payne, Fitzroy and Trennery. Vestry - G.A. Payne, E. Weeks, H. Hutchenance, A. Brodger, E. Popple, F. Ellis, R. Hall, P. Creighton, R. Grinter, J. Stevenson, E. Ellis, Secretary J. Trennery, Treasurer E. Ellis.

■ 1956 -1961: Rev. A. Cooper's notable achievements were seen to be: - Up to 5 services on Sundays, also services midweek and Saints Days.

- A “Wells” Fundraising and promotion campaign.

- Commencement of the Mothers Union in Alexandra.

- He instituted "Blessing of the Fleece".But this was carried out on properties of the Fox family.

Mrs. Thea Cooper, the wife of Rev. Angus Cooper, was a very talented musician. She played the organ and introduced new music to what was a very large Choir, especially for evensong.

Mrs. Gillespie, the mother of Bob who was a later Vestryman, was also an organist and played at Parish dances which were run by the Ladies Guild to raise funds.

The hall was usually full for these dances, probably for the suppers of fresh sandwiches and coffee.

■ March 18, 1956: Annual General Meeting - Rev. Angus Cooper - Chair.

General Fund £585, Parish hall £264, Ladies Guild £215. Wardens Reg. Payne, H. Fitzroy, J. Trennery. Vestry - G.A. Payne, J.W. Hall, Thompson, Noffle, Ellis, Brogden, ScottMurphy, Weeks, H. Robb, R. Grinter, Hutchenance, B.P. Coller.

Brent Coller was a farmer from Eildon, displaced by the Big Eildon project, who moved onto the river flats at Alexandra where the sewerage farm is now, and is a cousin of the author.

■ April 8, 1956: Vestry discussion on land behind the Rectory, which was sold in 1946 for £170 to a Mr. R.P. Aldous and also land sold to a Mr. King for site and materials. It was now of concern that the payments may never have been made and the Title changes not made. Still investigating. On going debate with Rus. Stillman, boundary on West, over a building overhanging the Church property, it was reported he had removed the offending overhang.

■ July 8, 1956: Mrs. Gillespie resigned as Organist.

Clayden was known to the Pawsey family as a young man, in Coburg, where his father, Rev. W. J. B. Clayden, was their Vicar.

Chapter 10: Separate Parishes

■ While there does not appear to have been a major announcement, the separation of the Parishes seems to have occurred from this point.

So this now becomes a history of Alexandra Parish.

■ 1967-70: Rev. Fred Morrey was remembered in the Parish for his simple teaching and celebration of daily Eucharist. He was also remembered for: - his involvement with youth, particularly training of servers.

- his close involvement with the Minister's Fraternal-commenced earlier in the 1960s and then the Inter-Church Council, established in 1964. Bishop Rayner commented in the Diocesan paper - The Witness-in February 1970 “ Alexandra must be one of the most ecumenically minded parishes”.

This followed from the attendance of the Roman Catholic priest and two nuns, when the Bishop baptised Rev. Fred Morrey`s son Anthony.

- His large number of community

member of Red Cross during the 1969 fires which ravaged the district.

He left Alexandra for the missionary parish-Mossman, then went to Moe in Diocese of Gippsland.

■ 1970-1973: Rev. P. Hutchinson was remembered for his unforgettable, dramatic sermons.

Norma Miller says "Who will forget him waving a giant wooden spoon for 'stir-up Sunday’." A quote from him, describing himself as "The Stirrer" who ‘ tilled the soil for his successors to plant and harvest the crops'. He was an Alexandra Rotarian for a short time. He went to St Kilda, in the Melbourne Diocese.

■ 1973-1984: Rev. George Nunan, at this stage and to now, the longest serving priest in the Parish. He came from Broadford Parish, where he also served as Army and Industrial Chaplain.

Notable achievements: - Kellock Lodge- Aged Care Facility. Rev. George Nunan, with Shire President Kath Cooper and Shire Secretary Gerald Walshe, has been given the largest share of credit with the formation of Kellock Lodge. The main supporters of the Lodge include: the Opportunity Shop, the Rotary Club of Alexandra, the Parish of St. John's and the general Alexandra community. The Opportunity Shop provides strong financial support, probably nearing $2 million over the 30 year life of the Lodge.

- Social Occasions were important to him-Shared meals, including Passover Meal, Mystery box supper, Wine tasting dinner generating a ‘family’ feeling in the Parish.

- Establishing the Memorial Garden, - Special ministry to sick and bereaved and interest in healing.

Note: We have more information about this period because of Norma Miller`s great Document Partners in Mission prepared by her in 1984, towards the end of Rev. George Nunan`s Ministry. This document had been written [along with all other Parishes] at the request of the Diocese.

The Memorial Garden was dedicated by Bishop Rayner on October 13, 1974, on land between the Church and the Rectory. Mrs. Marjorie Wilmot chose the 24 Standard Roses, donated by parishioners.

In 1974, a Confirmation service was held with 250 attending, with lunch catered for by St Mary`s Roman Catholic Ladies.

In 1984, a ‘Procession of Wit-

● Kellock Lodge, Alexandra. moved around the town on Good Friday to each Church, with the "Stations of the Cross" read in each. This then became a regular feature, but has since ceased some years ago.

There was an exchange of Priests during Rev. Nunan`s period, in 1982/ 83, an exchange with Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Priest Bill Lunny and wife June, lived in the Rectory and provided services etc for a year, while Rev. George and wife Thea went to Canada in their place.

In 1984, the Churchwardens were: Rector`s Warden-Alan Welch, others David Morrison [then also Chair of the Kellock Lodge Planning Committee] and Jim Kinniburgh.

The recently retired Rector`s WardenNoel Napier had served four Rectors in this position since 1963.

Noel and wife Norma were given a dinner in their honour to recognise their long service to the Church. It is noted that Alan Welch, Jim Kinniburgh and Noel Napier have all been Rotarians.

Chapter 11: Kellock Lodge - Alexandra Aged Care Facility

■ It is generally agreed that Rev. George Nunan, given his experience in Aged Care in his previous Parish, provided the initial thrust for an Aged Care facility in Alexandra, but clearly the support he needed was provided

by Shire President Kath Cooper and Shire Secretary Gerald Walshe.

But they also received great support within the Parish. An example of this was when $5000 was needed to carry out a "Needs" Survey by Neil Armstrong, a Social planner from the Victorian Council on the Ageing.

These funds were provided by a fundraising effort within the Parish led by Joy Welch and Norma Miller and others. Concerts in the Shire Hall and other fundraisers were held to find the money.

Then of course, there was the need for a site. The Kellock family was well entrenched in Alexandra and in the Parish. The present lectern is a Charles Kellock Memorial, there is a photograph in the Vestry of a Church group, including a Miss Kellock, there are references to a

Miss Kellock in the Choir in this history. Therefore, it was presumably a simple choice for Councillor Cooper, knowing about the land owned by the Kellock Family, to approach them for the donation of that land.

The land was donated to the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta, at that time presumed to be a safe haven.

Possible intrusion by the Diocese was not taken into account and the Diocese has never been asked for financial assistance by Kellock Lodge.

The rest of the story is told in the recent 2014 publication Kellock Lodge - the first 30 years written by authors Julia Foletta and Maurie Pawsey.

Kellock Lodge has become a very successful operation of 50 High Care beds and 14 Independent Living Units.

But as mentioned above, the Parish remains deeply involved in Kellock Lodge, one third of the Board of Management have been parish nominees, the three Chairmen to date were / are Anglicans (also Rotarians) and two have been parishioners.

Of course the land belongs to the Diocese of Wangaratta, even though funding has been totally gained or provided within Alexandra, significantly by the Alexandra Opportunity Shop.

It should be said that other than Fundraising (see above) and involvement in the Opportunity Shop, neither the Parish or the Diocese has had any significant financial involvement in Kellock Lodge.

The Parish at present provides a one day Chaplaincy service to Kellock, through Father Graeme Brown, who is also a board member.

The Kellock family are related to the Maddox family

Chapter 12: Opportunity Shops

Later proceeds were distributed 10 per cent to ABM [Australian Board of Missions] 50 per cent to Ladies Guild, 40 per cent to Alexandra Community organisations, including the Hospital and Elderly citizens etc.

In 1971 O'Briens Lane was closed, requiring a move to the Church hall, a monthly opening and the eventual closure of the Shop.

In August 1981, now under the auspices of the Inter-Church Council and backed by the Rotary Club, which paid the first six months rent, premises were rented at 99 Grant Street.

The shop was staffed by ladies from the Roman Catholic, Uniting and Anglican Churches and run by a Committee with representatives from each.

The aim was to raise funds to support the planned aged care facility (Kellock Lodge). Forty ladies offered their services to staff the Roster.

Anglican Church representative Muriel Paech worked tirelessly on the Committee for many years.

Later, with a very active and enterprising committee, led principally

by Dorothy Pearson,Elvie Thompson and Chair Pastor Richard Lovett [also a Rotarian], the Op Shop initially moved to larger premises at 52 Grant Street and then, with short term financial assistance from Kellock Lodge, purchased the former SEC premises in Grant Street early in the new century.

They have also widened their spread of donations to include many Alexandra organisations, including the Hospital, Darlingford and Red Cross etc.

But their principal support continued to be Kellock Lodge and at this time (2016) their contribution has now approached $2 million since 1981.

There has been five capital contributions, with the last being in 2016.

Each contribution was around $100,000, and when combined with their monthly contribution, which was about $3000 per month.

Kellock Lodge recognised this effort in 2014, and as it could not award life memberships to all the supporters, it awarded a Life Membership to Dorothy Pearson, on behalf of all, accepting that this was unfair to many, including Elvie Thompson.

In 2014, in the day of Father Geoff Poliness, a major achievement was to open a second Opportunity Shop called the "Redgate Bazaar" in Grant Street. This second shop did not appear to have impacted on the Alexandra Opportunity Shop adversely, which continued to be run by the Combined Churches under a community based committee. It continued to be a major supporter of Kellock Lodge.

The two are still co-operating and obviously the Redgate Bazaar is designed to financially assist the Parish, but it was also intended to offer a social and counselling impact, with the assistance of the Diocesan office of Anglicare.

■ As mentioned under the section on Rev. John Clayden, the first Opportunity Shop was initiated by him and parishioners - Mrs. Koop, Mrs. Hay and other Guild members.

It initially started in the Parish hall, then relocated to a building lent by the Wynne family located in O'Briens Lane.

■ Not just of Rev. Nunan`s time, Initial proceeds were distributed but in those perhaps less pressurised between Freedom from Hunger and and happier days, than we now face, the church Ladies Guild projects.

Local History Continued from previous page

by Jim Kinniburgh and Ian Fry (a Uniting Church member).

- An adult Choir had been a major feature of worship at St. John's over much of its life. Organists and Choir leaders are mentioned throughout this history - Mr. Waymouth in 1891, established an adult Choir and the service became fully Choral, Mrs. Waymouth was Organist and died in 1898.

In that year, the Choir lost three members - Mrs. J. A. Gordon - after a ‘lifetime”, Miss Kellock and Miss Whiting.

At Kanumbra. Mrs. Elvie Fox was organist from 1920 to 1945, succeeded by Mrs. Jean Fox. Mrs. Gillespie at St. John's was thanked in 1942 and resigned in 1956.

There were many activities which we no longer have: - Sunday School was a regular occurrence. The children entered Church during ‘The Peace’ with their Teachers. Norma Miller tells us that Sunday School had been a regular part of the Church`s Sunday mornings before Rev. Hutchinson, in 1970, preferred the children to be in Church with their parents. But parents in 1972, felt the need for a Sunday School and it was reopened in that year.

In 1973, five teachers took classes ranging from Prep. to Form 1, totalling about 30 children. Over the years numbers had been between 30 and 35. Some of the longer term teachers are remembered here: Nola Peters, Thea Nunan, Kath Chanter, Linda Davis, Joy Welch, Diana Weeks, Norma Miller and Sue Phelps.

- St. John's Gymnastic Club was already being run with a committee

by October 1909 when Mr. Harry Jennings stood aside as Secretary and the position was filled by Mr. Reginald Sapsford. Regular practice was said to be held on Tuesday nights.

- GFS [Girls Friendly Society] commenced in 1940s and continued until 1971 when the last recorded report was lodged.

- CEBS [Church of England Boys Society] 1956-1966 for boys aged 8 to 14 years. For most of this period leader Norman Miller was assisted

by Ian Weeks. In 1962 they were averaging 15 boys a night. They had a cricket team and took part in Diocesan Bush ports. In 1966, the CEBS joined with the Presbyterian Boys Group to form a combined Churches Boys Group, which faltered after a while. It was resurrected in 1975, but failed again.

- YAF [Young Anglican Fellowship] operated from 1957 to 1967. Leader Ian Weeks, 20 to 25 members in 1962-1963. Had a Girls Basketball team and a football team. In 1963 won the District Sports. There were camps at Airey`s Inlet.

- Youth Club For some years in the 1980`s there was a very popular Youth Club after School hours in the Parish hall.

By 1984, there was only the Junior Choir. This was formed in 1975,

by Janet Birch with great co-operation from Rector George Nunan. She insisted that they should be robed and it was clearly a very serious operation, as it should be.

Joy Welch was the Choir “Mother” to prepare them for Church, seriously an onerous activity to have them all robed, hair done, shoes clean, cassocks straightened.

Joy tells us it was a “warming sight’ to see them all ready for Church. If any were brave enough to sing solo, they received a medal.

that the proceeds of the Church fete should go to the building fund. There is no mention of where a new church would be built, but clearly it would be on the Webster street site, because of the previous 1927 decision - although that had not succeeded.

- 1936 Suddenly the Vestry is investigating a new Church on the Downey Street site and seeking the Title for the Webster site, to sell it.

On August 4, 1936, the recommendation to the congregation is to sell the Webster street site, build a new church on the Downey Street site, allowance £1500 and move the old church building to Downey Street to use as a hall. The minutes give no mention of their reasons, unfortunately.

A Building Committee was formed, fundraising started and the project proceeded through 1937 and 1938. So we are left to wonder what factors determined these decisions to build or not to build, buy the Rectory site, then consider selling it and rebuilding on the Webster Street site, decisions to build then withdraw, 1927 try again and suddenly, with no hints in the minutes, 1936 the final decision. The minute books do not help much as they do not record discussions only decisions.

We are left to speculate and wonder what they were thinking.

■ Friday, November 13, 1987: Bishop Beal-Bishop ofWangaratta with Rev. Tim Cohen and Archdeacon Douglas Blake OBE [the Vicar when the Church was built and Consecrated] giving the Address, led a service of Celebration in the Church.

Photographs in the Gallery relate to this event. One shows the clergy group at this service and a second shows a very large group at the former church site located on the corner of Webster and Nihil Streets, before processing to the new site in Downey Street.

A Special Edition of The Jubilation - an adaptation of the Church newsletter, was published for the occasion - Editor June Cookson[now a renowed author and a current parishioner], including letters from the Bishop, Archdeacon Blake, Rector Tim Cohen, Rev. George Nunan, Rev. E.A. Leaver, Noel Napier [Churchwarden], Dorothy Fitzroy.

Amongst the articles and photographs is a photo of the Fundraising Committee in 1962 or 1963 - contemporary people shown include Ian Weeks, David Fitzro y, Bob Gillespie, Bill Rollason, Roy Fox[recently deceased], Noel Napier [Deceased several years ago].

A profile of the Parish Choir is given. Mentioned -four generations of the Weeks family have sung there, 50 years of organists are mentioned -names listed include Mrs. Hazel Gillespie, Mrs. Stillman, Mr. Tom Barton, Thea Cooper, Mrs. Elvie Giblett, Mrs. Janet Birch, Mrs. Marion Kinniburgh. Mrs. Val Lethbridge and Mrs. Jean Weedon [also of Kanumbra].

Rector's Warden Alan Welch gave a summary of maintenance and renovations to the buildings over the 50 years, particularly of the recent extensions to the Rectory, at a cost of $50,000.

Kinglake was named after author ■ The difficulty under which he labours is easily shown by comparing the mechanism of the commercial system in Turkey with that of our own country. In England, or in any other great mercantile country, the bulk of the things bought and sold goes through the hands of a wholesale dealer, and it is he who higgles and bargains with an entire nation of purchasers by entering into treaty with retail sellers. The labour of making a few large contracts is sufficient to give a clue for finding the fair market value of the goods sold throughout the country; but in Turkey, from the primitive habits of the people, and partly from the absence of great capital and great credit, the importing merchant, the warehouseman, the wholesale dealer, the retail dealer, and the shopman, are all one person. Old Moostapha, or Abdallah, or Hadgi Mohamed waddles up from the water’s edge with a small packet of merchandise, which he has bought out of a Greek brigantine, and when at last he has reached his nook in the bazaar he puts his goods BEFORE the counter, and himself UPON it; then laying fire to his tchibouque he “sits in permanence,” and patiently waits to obtain “the best price that can be got in an open market.” This is his fair right as a seller, but he has no means of finding out what that best price is except by actual experiment. He cannot know the intensity of the demand, or the abundance of the supply, otherwise than by the offers which may be made for his little bundle of goods; so he begins by asking a perfectly hopeless price, and then descends the ladder until he meets a purchaser, for ever “Striving to attain By shadowing out the unattainable.”

This is the struggle which creates the continual occasion for debate. The vendor, perceiving that the unfolded merchandise has caught the eye of a possible purchaser, commences his opening speech. He covers his bristling broadcloths and his meagre silks with the golden broidery of Oriental praises, and as he talks, along with the slow and graceful waving of his arms, he lifts his undulating periods, upholds and poises them well, till they have gathered their weight and their strength, and then hurls them bodily forward with grave, momentous swing. The possible purchaser listens to the whole speech with deep and serious attention; but when it is over HIS turn arrives. He elaborately endeavours to show why he ought not to buy the things at a price twenty times larger than their value. Bystanders attracted to the debate take a part in it as independent members; the vendor is heard in reply, and coming down with his price, furnishes the materials for a new debate. Sometimes, however, the dealer, if he is a very pious Mussulman, and sufficiently rich to hold back his ware, will take a more dignified part, maintaining a kind of judicial gravity, and receiving the applicants who come to his stall as if they were rather suitors than customers. He will quietly hear to the end some long speech that concludes with an offer, and will answer it all with the one monosyllable “Yok,” which means distinctly “No.” I caught one glimpse of the old heathen world. My habits for studying military subjects had been hardening my heart against poetry; for ever staring at the flames of battle, I had

But it happened to me whim or fancy; moreover, he had a one day to mount the high grounds good deal of the practical sagacity overhanging the streets of Pera.

But The Troad Methley recovered almost suddenly, the Iliad — line by line I clasped it to and we determined to go through the my brain with reverence as well as with love. As an old woman deeply Troad together.

My comrade was a capital Grecian. trustful sits reading her Bible because It is true that his singular mind so of the world to come, so, as though it

would fit me for the coming strife of this temporal world, I read and read the Iliad. Even outwardly, it was not like other books; it was throned in towering folios. There was a preface or dissertation printed in type still more majestic than the rest of the book; this I read, but not till my enthusiasm for the Iliad had already run high. The writer compiling the opinions of many men, and chiefly of the ancients, set forth, I know not how quaintly, that the Iliad was all in all to the human race — that it was history, poetry, revelation; that the works of men’s hands were folly and vanity, and would pass away like the dreams of a child, but that the kingdom of Homer would endure for ever and ever.

I assented with all my soul. I read, and still read; I came to know Homer.

A learned commentator knows something of the Greeks, in the same sense as an oil-and-colour man may be said to know something of painting; but take an untamed child, and leave him alone for twelve months with any translation of Homer, and he will be nearer by twenty centuries to the spirit of old Greece; HE does not stop in the ninth year of the siege to admire this or that group of words; HE has no books in his tent, but he shares in vital counsels with the “king of men,” and knows the inmost souls of the impending gods; how profanely he exults over the powers divine when they are taught to dread the prowess of mortals! and most of all, how he rejoices when the God of War flies howling from the spear of Diomed, and mounts into heaven for safety! Then the beautiful episode of the Sixth Book: the way to feel this is not to go casting about, and learning from pastors and masters how best to admire it.

The impatient child is not grubbing for beauties, but pushing the siege; the women vex him with their delays, and their talking; the mention of the nurse is personal, and little sympathy has he for the child that is young enough to be frightened at the nodding plume of a helmet; but all the while that he thus chafes at the pausing of the action, the strong vertical light of Homer’s poetry is blazing so full upon the people and things of the Iliad, that soon to the eyes of the child they grow familiar as his mother’s shawl; yet of this great gain he is unconscious, and on he goes, vengefully thirsting for the best blood of Troy, and never remitting his fierceness till almost suddenly it is changed for sorrow — the new and generous sorrow that he learns to feel when the noblest of all his foes lies sadly dying at the Scaean gate.

Heroic days are these, but the dark ages of schoolboy life come closing over them. I suppose it is all right in the end, yet, by Jove, at first sight it does seem a sad intellectual fall from your mother’s dressing-room to a buzzing school. You feel so keenly the delights of early knowledge; you form strange mystic friendships with the mere names of mountains, and seas, and continents, and mighty rivers; you learn the ways of the planets, and transcend their narrow limits, and ask for the end of space; you vex the electric cylinder till it yields you, for your toy to play with, that subtle fire in which our earth was forged; you know of the nations that have towered high in the world, and the lives of the men who have saved whole empires from oblivion. What

more will you ever learn? Yet the dismal change is ordained, and then, thin meagre Latin (the same for everybody), with small shreds and patches of Greek, is thrown like a pauper’s pall over all your early lore.

Instead of sweet knowledge, vile, monkish, doggerel grammars and graduses, dictionaries and lexicons, and horrible odds and ends of dead languages, are given you for your portion, and down you fall, from Roman story to a three-inch scrap of “Scriptores Romani,” — from Greek poetry down, down to the cold rations of “Poetae Graeci,” cut up by commentators, and served out by schoolmasters!

It was not the recollection of school nor college learning, but the rapturous and earnest reading of my childhood, which made me bend forward so longingly to the plains of Troy.

Away from our people and our horses, Methley and I went loitering along by the willow banks of a stream that crept in quietness through the low, even plain. There was no stir of weather overhead, no sound of rural labour, no sign of life in the land; but all the earth was dead and still, as though it had lain for thrice a thousand years under the leaden gloom of one unbroken Sabbath.

Softly and sadly the poor, dumb, patient stream went winding and winding along through its shifting pathway; in some places its waters were parted, and then again, lower down, they would meet once more. I could see that the stream from year to year was finding itself new channels, and flowed no longer in its ancient track, but I knew that the springs which fed it were high on Ida — the springs of Simois and Scamander!

It was coldly and thanklessly, and with vacant, unsatisfied eyes that I watched the slow coming and the gliding away of the waters. I tell myself now, as a profane fact, that I did stand by that river (Methley gathered some seeds from the bushes that grew there), but since that I am away from his banks, “divine Scamander” has recovered the proper mystery belonging to him as an unseen deity; a kind of indistinctness, like that which belongs to far antiquity, has spread itself over my memory, of the winding stream that I saw with these very eyes. One’s mind regains in absence that dominion over earthly things which has been shaken by their rude contact.

You force yourself hardily into the material presence of a mountain, or a river, whose name belongs to poetry and ancient religion, rather than to the external world; your feelings wound up and kept ready for some sort of half-expected rapture are chilled, and borne down for the time under all this load of real earth and water; but let these once pass out of sight, and then again the old fanciful notions are restored, and the mere realities which you have just been looking at are thrown back so far into distance, that the very event of your intrusion upon such scenes begins to look dim and uncertain, as though it belonged to mythology.

It is not over the plain before Troy that the river now flows; its waters have edged away far towards the north, since the day that “divine Scamander” (whom the gods call Xanthus) went down to do battle for Ilion, “with Mars, and Phoebus, and Latona, and Diana glorying in her arrows, and Venus the lover of smiles.”

History From Page 83 And now, when I was vexed at the migration of Scamander, and the total loss or absorption of poor dear Simois, how happily Methley reminded me that Homer himself had warned us of some such changes!

The Greeks in beginning their wall had neglected the hecatombs due to the gods, and so after the fall of Troy Apollo turned the paths of the rivers that flow from Ida and sent them flooding over the wall, till all the beach was smooth and free from the unhallowed works of the Greeks. It is true I see now, on looking to the passage, that Neptune, when the work of destruction was done, turned back the rivers to their ancient ways: “ . . . [Greek verse],” but their old channels passing through that light pervious soil would have been lost in the nine days’ flood, and perhaps the god, when he willed to bring back the rivers to their ancient beds, may have done his work but ill: it is easier, they say, to destroy than it is to restore.

We took to our horses again, and went southward towards the very plain between Troy and the tents of the Greeks, but we rode by a line at some distance from the shore. Whether it was that the lay of the ground hindered my view towards the sea, or that I was all intent upon Ida, or whether my mind was in vacancy, or whether, as is most like, I had strayed from the Dardan plains all back to gentle England, there is now no knowing, nor caring, but it was not quite suddenly indeed, but rather, as it were, in the swelling and falling of a single wave, that the reality of that very sea-view, which had bounded the sight of the Greeks, now visibly acceded to me, and rolled full in upon my brain. Conceive how deeply that eternal coast-line, that fixed horizon, those island rocks, must have graven their images upon the minds of the Grecian warriors by the time that they had reached the ninth year of the siege! conceive the strength, and the fanciful beauty, of the speeches with which a whole army of imagining men must have told their weariness, and how the sauntering chiefs must have whelmed that daily, daily scene with their deep Ionian curses!

And now it was that my eyes were greeted with a delightful surprise.

Whilst we were at Constantinople, Methley and I had pored over the map together. We agreed that whatever may have been the exact site of Troy, the Grecian camp must have been nearly opposite to the space betwixt the islands of Imbros and Tenedos, “[Greek verse],” but Methley reminded me of a passage in the Iliad in which Neptune is represented as looking at the scene of action before Ilion from above the island of Samothrace. Now Samothrace, according to the map, appeared to be not only out of all seeing distance from the Troad, but to be entirely shut out from it by the intervening Imbros, which is a larger island, stretching its length right athwart the line of sight from Samothrace to Troy. Piously allowing that the dread Commoter of our globe might have seen all mortal doings, even from the depth of his own cerulean kingdom, I still felt that if a station were to be chosen from which to see the fight, old Homer, so material in his ways of thought, so averse from all haziness and overreaching, would have MEANT to give the god for his station some spot within reach of men’s eyes from the plains of Troy. I think that this testing of the poet’s words by map and compass may have shaken a little of my faith in the completeness of his

knowledge. Well, now I had come; there to the south was Tenedos, and here at my side was Imbros, all right, and according to the map, but aloft over Imbros, aloft in a far-away heaven, was Samothrace, the watchtower of Neptune!

So Homer had appointed it, and so it was; the map was correct enough, but could not, like Homer, convey THE WHOLE TRUTH. Thus vain and false are the mere human surmises and doubts which clash with Homeric writ!

Nobody whose mind had not been reduced to the most deplorable logical condition could look upon this beautiful congruity betwixt the Iliad and the material world and yet bear to suppose that the poet may have learned the features of the coast from mere hearsay; now then, I believed; now I knew that Homer had PASSED ALONG HERE, that this vision of Samothrace over-towering the nearer island was common to him and to me.

After a journey of some few days by the route of Adramiti and Pergamo we reached Smyrna. The letters which Methley here received obliged him to return to England.

Chapter V Infidel Smyrna Smyrna, or Giaour Izmir, “Infidel Smyrna,” as the Mussulmans call it, is the main point of commercial contact betwixt Europe and Asia. You are there surrounded by the people, and the confused customs of many and various nations; you see the fussy European adopting the East, and calming his restlessness with the long Turkish “pipe of tranquillity”; you see Jews offering services, and receiving blows; 8 on one side you have a fellow whose dress and beard would give you a good idea of the true Oriental, if it were not for the gobe-mouche expression of countenance with which he is swallowing an article in the National; and there, just by, is a genuine Osmanlee, smoking away with all the majesty of a sultan, but before you have time to admire sufficiently his tranquil dignity, and his soft Asiatic repose, the poor old fellow is ruthlessly “run down” by an English midshipman, who has set sail on a Smyrna hack.

Such are the incongruities of the “infidel city” at ordinary times; but when I was there, our friend Carrigaholt had imported himself and his oddities as an accession to the other and inferior wonders of Smyrna.

I was sitting alone in my room one day at Constantinople, when I heard Methley approaching my door with shouts of laughter and welcome, and presently I recognised that peculiar cry by which our friend Carrigaholt expresses his emotions; he soon explained to us the final causes by which the fates had worked out their wonderful purpose of bringing him to Constantinople. He was always, you know, very fond of sailing, but he had got into such sad scrapes (including, I think, a lawsuit) on account of his last yacht, that he took it into his head to have a cruise in a merchant vessel, so he went to Liverpool, and looked through the craft lying ready to sail, till he found a smart schooner that perfectly suited his taste. The destination of the vessel was the last thing he thought of; and when he was told that she was bound for Constantinople, he merely assented to that as a part of the arrangement to which he had no objection.

As soon as the vessel had sailed, the hapless passenger discovered that his skipper carried on board an enormous wife, with an inquiring mind and an irresistible tendency to impart her opinions. She looked upon her guest as upon a piece of waste

intellect that ought to be carefully tilled. She tilled him accordingly. If the dons at Oxford could have seen poor Carrigaholt thus absolutely “attending lectures” in the Bay of Biscay, they would surely have thought him sufficiently punished for all the wrongs he did them whilst he was preparing himself under their care for the other and more boisterous University. The voyage did not last more than six or eight weeks, and the philosophy inflicted on Carrigaholt was not entirely fatal to him; certainly he was somewhat emaciated, and for aught I know, he may have subscribed somewhat too largely to the “Feminine-right-of-reason Society”; but it did not appear that his health had been seriously affected. There was a scheme on foot, it would seem, for taking the passenger back to England in the same schooner — a scheme, in fact, for keeping him perpetually afloat, and perpetually saturated with arguments; but when Carrigaholt found himself ashore, and remembered that the skipperina (who had imprudently remained on board) was not there to enforce her suggestions, he was open to the hints of his servant (a very sharp fellow), who arranged a plan for escaping, and finally brought off his master to Giuseppini’s Hotel.

Our friend afterwards went by sea to Smyrna, and there he now was in his glory. He had a good, or at all events a gentleman-like, judgment in matters of taste, and as his great object was to surround himself with all that his fancy could dictate, he lived in a state of perpetual negotiation. He was for ever on the point of purchasing, not only the material productions of the place, but all sorts of such fine ware as “intelligence,” “fidelity,” and so on. He was most curious, however, as the purchaser of the “affections.” Sometimes he would imagine that he had a marital aptitude, and his fancy would sketch a graceful picture, in which he appeared reclining on a divan, with a beautiful Greek woman fondly couched at his feet, and soothing him with the witchery of her guitar. Having satisfied himself with the ideal picture thus created, he would pass into action; the guitar he would buy instantly, and would give such intimations of his wish to be wedded to a Greek, as could not fail to produce great excitement in the families, of the beautiful Smyrniotes. Then again (and just in time perhaps to save him from the yoke) his dream would pass away, and another would come in its stead; he would suddenly feel the yearnings of a father’s love, and willing by force of gold to transcend all natural preliminaries, he would issue instructions for the purchase of some dutiful child that could be warranted to love him as a parent. Then at another time he would be convinced that the attachment of menials might satisfy the longings of his affectionate heart, and thereupon he would give orders to his slave-merchant for something in the way of eternal fidelity. You may well imagine that this anxiety of Carrigaholt to purchase not only the scenery, but the many dramatis personae belonging to his dreams, with all their goodness and graces complete, necessarily gave an immense stimulus to the trade and intrigue of Smyrna, and created a demand for human virtues which the moral resources of the place were totally inadequate to supply. Every day after breakfast this lover of the good and the beautiful held a levee, which was often exceedingly amusing. In his anteroom there would be not only the sellers of pipes and slippers and shawls, and such like Oriental merchandise, not only em-

Oriental merchandise, not only embroiderers and cunning workmen patiently striving to realise his visions of Albanian dresses, not only the servants offering for places, and the slave-dealer tendering his sable ware, but there would be the Greek master, waiting to teach his pupil the grammar of the soft Ionian tongue, in which he was to delight the wife of his imagination, and the musicmaster, who was to teach him some sweet replies to the anticipated sounds of the fancied guitar; and then, above all, and proudly eminent with undisputed preference of entree, and fraught with the mysterious tidings on which the realisation of the whole dream might depend, was the mysterious match-maker, 9 enticing and postponing the suitor, yet ever keeping alive in his soul the love of that pictured virtue, whose beauty (unseen by eyes) was half revealed to the imagination.

You would have thought that this practical dreaming must have soon brought Carrigaholt to a bad end, but he was in much less danger than you would suppose; for besides that the new visions of happiness almost always came in time to counteract the fatal completion of the preceding scheme, his high breeding and his delicately sensitive taste almost always came to his aid at times when he was left without any other protection; and the efficacy of these qualities in keeping a man out of harm’s way is really immense. In all baseness and imposture there is a coarse, vulgar spirit, which, however artfully concealed for a time, must sooner or later show itself in some little circumstance sufficiently plain to occasion an instant jar upon the minds of those whose taste is lively and true.

To such men a shock of this kind, disclosing the UGLINESS of a cheat, is more effectively convincing than any mere proofs could be.

Thus guarded from isle to isle, and through Greece, and through Albania, this practical Plato with a purse in his hand, carried on his mad chase after the good and the beautiful, and yet returned in safety to his home.

But now, poor fellow! the lowly grave, that is the end of men’s romantic hopes, has closed over all his rich fancies, and all his high aspirations; he is utterly married! No more hope, no more change for him — no more relays — he must go on Vetturini-wise to the appointed end of his journey!

Smyrna, I think, may be called the chief town and capital of the Grecian race, against which you will be cautioned so carefully as soon as you touch the Levant. You will say that I ought not to confound as one people the Greeks living under a constitutional government with the unfortunate Rayahs who “groan under the Turkish yoke,” but I can’t see that political events have hitherto produced any strongly marked difference of character. If I could venture to rely (which I feel that I cannot at all do) upon my own observation, I should tell you that there was more heartiness and strength in the Greeks of the Ottoman Empire than in those of the new kingdom. The truth is, that there is a greater field for commercial enterprise, and even for Greek ambition, under the Ottoman sceptre, than is to be found in the dominions of Otho. Indeed the people, by their frequent migrations from the limits of the constitutional kingdom to the territories of the Porte, seem to show that, on the whole, they prefer “groaning under the Turkish yoke” to the honour of “being the only true source of legitimate power” in their own land.

For myself, I love the race; in spite

of all their vices, and even in spite of all their meannesses, I remember the blood that is in them, and still love the Greeks. The Osmanlees are, of course, by nature, by religion, and by politics, the strong foes of the Hellenic people, and as the Greeks, poor fellows! happen to be a little deficient in some of the virtues which facilitate the transaction of commercial business (such as veracity, fidelity, &c.), it naturally follows that they are highly unpopular with the European merchants. Now these are the persons through whom, either directly or indirectly, is derived the greater part of the information which you gather in the Levant, and therefore you must make up your mind to hear an almost universal and unbroken testimony against the character of the people whose ancestors invented virtue. And strange to say, the Greeks themselves do not attempt to disturb this general unanimity of opinion by an dissent on their part.

Question a Greek on the subject, and he will tell you at once that the people are traditori, and will then, perhaps, endeavour to shake off his fair share of the imputation by asserting that his father had been dragoman to some foreign embassy, and that he (the son), therefore, by the law of nations, had ceased to be Greek.

“E dunque no siete traditore?”

“Possibile, signor, ma almeno Io no sono Greco.”

Not even the diplomatic representatives of the Hellenic kingdom are free from the habit of depreciating their brethren. I recollect that at one of the ports in Syria a Greek vessel was rather unfairly kept in quarantine by order of the Board of Health, which consisted entirely of Europeans. A consular agent from the kingdom of Greece had lately hoisted his flag in the town, and the captain of the vessel drew up a remonstrance, which he requested his consul to present to the Board.

“Now, IS this reasonable?” said the consul; “is it reasonable that I should place myself in collision with all the principal European gentlemen of the place for the sake of you, a Greek?”

The skipper was greatly vexed at the failure of his application, but he scarcely even questioned the justice of the ground which his consul had taken. Well, it happened some time afterwards that I found myself at the same port, having gone thither with the view of embarking for the port of Syra. I was anxious, of course, to elude as carefully as possible the quarantine detentions which threatened me on my arrival, and hearing that the Greek consul had a brother who was a man in authority at Syra, I got myself presented to the former, and took the liberty of asking him to give me such a letter of introduction to his relative at Syra as might possibly have the effect of shortening the term of my quarantine. He acceded to this request with the utmost kindness and courtesy; but when he replied to my thanks by saying that “in serving an Englishman he was doing no more than his strict duty commanded,” not even my gratitude could prevent me from calling to mind his treatment of the poor captain who had the misfortune of NOT being an alien in blood to his consul and appointed protector.

I think that the change which has taken place in the character of the Greeks has been occasioned, in great measure, by the doctrines and practice of their religion. The Greek Church has animated the Muscovite peasant, and inspired him with hopes and ideas which, however humble, are still better than none at all; but the faith, and the forms, and the strange ecclesiastical literature which act so advantageously upon the mere clay of the Russian serf, seem to hang like lead upon the ethereal spirit of the Greek.

Local History

First Mass was celebrated in the 1850s ■ The history of the Sacred Heart Parish, Yea, dates back to April, 1890, when Yea and Alexandra were separated from the Mansfield Mission, which had its beginnings in the 1850s.

Priests had resided at Mansfield and had travelled by horse and sulky (or horse only) to the other places mentioned.

Earlier still there is reference to travelling clergymen, or a Catholic priest, who would enjoy overnight hospitality and conduct a service next day - in the case of Catholics, administer Sacraments.

It is well established that the first Yea Mass was celebrated in the home of Thomas McAsey, apparently on the Yea side of Laurel Hills.

Miss Grace McLeish’s kitchen the largest room in the township took on a prophetic ecumenical posture in the late 1850s.

Another authentic story is that Cr John Quinlan (the grand old man Quinlan) took on a long horse ride to secure land for a church and associated needs at Yea. The faith that was part of a strong Irish tradition was to survive for over a hundred years and is still continuing.

Father Matthew Brady was the first Parish Priest at Yea (1890), and the solid brick Presbytery he built still stands in good condition though certain repairs have been and are being undertaken.

The priest, of course, had Alexandra as part of his domain. If those conditions still applied today (Alexandra became a separate Parish in 1949), the larger population there might question why they were second fiddle in the set-up.

In a confidential report written by Father Willis in the 1920s, he stated: “Mass is celebrated at Alexandra every Sunday ... the Catholic spirit is improvcing ... almost every third person in that town should be a Catholic. Distant 20 miles from Yea, these people have been handicapped in many ways.”

Whatever the travelling arrangements were in the early days (horse flesh, of course) older parishioners can recall the priest travelling to Alexandra on the Saturday evening, hearing Confessions, saying the first morning Mass there, and returning to Yea for 10.30, or even later.

It is part-time hall for 20 or more years, been carried out, transepts would still there, but two decadfes ago was renovated to education and have provided for approximately 200 changed places with a statue of the health standards, and converted into more people.

Registered School No 1196, opening Virgin Mary.

It has been known to hold nearly Father O’Reilly spent 11 years at with 50 pupils on June 9, 1923.

Fathers Tim Daly and Hugh Lynch also served three years, or less, at Yea. By a coincidence, each lived until nearly 90, Father Daly dying in his native Ireland. He is remembered for his catechism questioning of children at Mass - an exercise probably directed at the adult congregation!

Before coming to Yea, Father Lynch had spent some time at Pentridge (as a Chaplain!).

Father Pat Garvey came here in August, 1933, and six years later went to Dalyston (where the church has not long closed, close to Wonthaggi), exchanging with Father Percy Sowersby.

Father Garvey was, among other attributes, conspicuous by his single seater car (with dicky seat).

Like Father Ellis 25 years earlier, Father Sowersby came to Yea on the eve of world war outbreak, but did not face the divisiveness that plagued the community - indeed the nation - back in 1914-18.

Father Sowersby remained for 17 years, the longest ever held by a Parish Priest here. ● Sacred Heart Parish Church. Photo: churchhistories.net.au

Church life at Yea

Ten years after arriving in Yea he “lost” the Alexandra section (Father Ray Beare was first P.P. there) and was able to introduce two Masses each Sunday.

This was later varied by the introduction of a Saturday Vigil Mass.

In his 17 years at Yea, Father Sowersby baptised 445 children and celebrated 70 marriages.

Father Sowersby’s popularioty was evidenced by a packed Shire Hall for a public farewell.

He died whilst at St Jospeh’s, Collingwood, not too short of his golden jubilee as a priest.

It was his stay that plans to build a new school were originated. It was opened (and blessed by Bishop Fox) in February, 1957, sic months arfter the arrival of Father John Hardy.

The school has been added to, and still fulfills its duty of primary school education and the moulding of character along Christian lines.

Father Hardy spent nearly six years at Yea. He retired. During his stay he made some valuable additions to Presbytery and church. He also introduced week-day evening Masses.

Father Des Cameron came here in 1962. He made some necessary improvements to the environs of the church, with a lot of concreting and the provision of modern toilets.

The wrecking and sale of the old schol allowed for nice lawns and shrubs. He also saw the Parish through the momentous change from the use of Latin to the vernacular, and even produced his own locallyprinted booklet, The Mass in English.

Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and he went on to conduct Mass (at Spotswood) - and car!

A feature in the Sun News-Pictorial stressed how he had courageously carried on despite his disabilities.

Father John Daly spent three years here, from 1965 to 1968. He retired, but revisited occasionally, having a soft spot for Yea. Although in Yea for only 18 months, Father Pat Jeffery was here for the ‘turning round’ of the 66-yaerold church.

He effected necessary postVatican updating of the Sanctuary (Mass said facing the people) and was able to proceed to consecration of the church.

The limiting factor has been lack of a stone altar. A granite altar was installed and dominates the Sanctuary.

It was paid for by equal donations from Patrick, Denis, James, Michael and Anthony McCarthy, in memory of deceased relatives.

The relics of St Innocentia (martyr) are deposited therein.

The consecrating ceremony was carried out by the Archbishop of Melbourne, Most Rev. (later Cardinal) James Robert Knox, on August 22, 1968.

Monsignor James Murray was assistant, and in attendance were several former Parish Priests of Yea. Following the ceremony, the Archbishop and party were tendered a civic reception in the newly completed Yea Vicic Centre, by the Shire President, Cr Arthur Bett.

There was a representative attendance.

YEA TIGERS CRICKET CLUB REPORT A-GRADE

■ Saturday saw Yea travel across to Avenel for their A-Grade clash. The home team batted first and made a shaky start, losing both openers relatively cheaply thanks to some disciplined Yea bowling.

Yea continued to chip away and had Avenel four wickets down at the drinks break halfway through the innings. The introduction of Luke Smith into the bowling attack after drinks brought about a swift end to the Avenel innings for 93, cleaning up to finish with figures of 4/11, headlining a great team bowling effort.

Yea's chase was excellently controlled from start to finish, with a 71-run opening stand doing the damage from the off. Marc Steiner struck the ball powerfully in his score of 46, while Ben Tarran batted solidly for 21.

Following a couple of quick wickets Darcy Pell came to the crease and made 13 not out to guide the team home.

It was pleasing to see a game where the team performed well and put together a strong performance in all facets of the game, and Yea now sits at two wins and two losses for the season so far. Next weekend sees Yea host Broadford in another big game for the team.

- Andrew Chisholm

B-GRADE

■ No report to hand when we went to press.

UNDER 16

■ Yea Under 16s scored their first win of the season on the back of an excellent team batting performance and a brilliant individual bowling effort.

Kilmore and Yea played against each other in round one with Kilmore winning by 150 runs.

This round number four saw Yea batting first and they completed the 35 overs for 8/88.

Hayden Jannke with 29, J. Bourke 15 and James Geldart with 10 scored the most runs but all batters showed patience and faced many balls.

Yea has three Alex. boys playing for them and one of them James Geldart had an outstanding performance. James took 7/1 off 4.2 overs. Yea bowled all 10 players and dismissed Kilmore for 66 runs.

- Alan Pell

LADIES

■ At last the pressure is off as the championships are done and dusted. Daily winners, October 24, saw Margie Wright come to form having a 70 nett, her best ever score this year, winning from runner up Laraine Callander on 71 nett.

The last day, October 31, Di Elliott had a blistering day having a 67 nett and was a happy girl. Di also had NTP both days. Runner up once again was Margie Wright having another brilliant 70 nett.

The A-Grade Championship was an exciting tussle ending with Laraine Callander the victor by one stroke from Miranda Gill. B-Gradewinner was non eother than Vicki Clements and of course our in form C-Grade winner and Handicap winner to boot was Margie Wright. If she keeps this up she won’t be a C-Grader for much longer. Congratulations girls. A much earned arvo tea followed the last round.

We must also wish Adrianne Anglin continued success after competing at Lancefield GC on Thursday securing a two-point lead in the Player of the year Award but with two tournaments to go it is still a nail-biting time. This week we start our Gender Challenge so look out boys here we come.

-Karen Sangster

WEDNESDAY

A reminder to club Members to sign up for the Mansfield/ Heathcote Trips if interested -Alan Pell

● Vicki Cements (B-Grade) Lorraine Callander (A-Grade) and Margie Wright (C-Grade) championship winners.

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

■ This week the East Central District Rifle Association and the Euroa Clay target Club where focused on the detail of the plans required to upgrade the toilet block and the access and parking at the Violet Town Shooting Complex.

The toilet block was built in the 1970s and has served the users of the site well but is no match for the needs of 2018 including those of the disabled.

The access road eroded badly during the intense storms from 2010 onwards and thanks to the expertise of the members has been maintained in serviceable condition but is in desperate need of reforming to provide all weather access and safe parking.

The parking area is littered with the tops of granite boulders that are just the thing for the unwary visitor to damage their modern vehicles with low ground clearance.

The renovation of access roads and designation of parking areas will eliminate random trafficking over the site and allow for better flora management.

The members of the Governance Committee met and confirmed the proposal met the key requirements of the Shire’s planing scheme, as provided last week, and the strategic directions for the expenditure of the Shooting Sports development grant funds.

Now the hard work beings to prepare plans for the approval of the members of both clubs and then the relevant authorities.

Significant discussion focused on how the building would be used to ensure access for all abilities and allow the onsite servicing of the 2m square 300mm deep targets that weigh 80kg each.

It is hoped that the members will have the detailed project plan, some construction plans and prices to consider before Christmas.

In the next fortnight the road and parking area works will be discussed with the earthmoving contractor to determine the best timing of these works.

Shooting this week was on Wednesday due to the long weekend and the Police Rifle Club Long Range Prize Shoot in Bendigo on November 10.

Peter Daldy got the practice off to a good start with a 50.4 out of 50.10 and then he was immediately trumped by Marty Kelly with a 60.5 out of 70.10.

The weather was very pleasant and the “Violet Town wind” was there, quite gentle yet (as it proved) hard to read.

The idea of shooting at 300 yards was to minimise the effect of the wind and shoot some good groups.

The second part, the good groups were shot in the vertical plane showing that the shooters were on song but the wind ensured that Marty and Peter were the only ones to shoot a ”possible”.

As the shooters packed up and settled into their lunch it was agreed it had been a good day to practice and everyone had developed ways to better read “that" wind.

The scores for the day were: T-Rifle Peter Daldy 50.3,48.7 = 98.10; F-Std - 1 Brian Houlihan 58.1, 56.4, 58.4 = 171.9 and 2 Richard Godden51.1, 55.3, 54.3 = 160.7; F-TR Marty Kelly 60.5, 59.6, 40.2, 33.1, 54.2 = 246.16.

Shooting next week will be at Bendigo and Violet Town please check the web site (ecdra.org.au) for details of the Violet Town shoot as some of the members will be heading to Bendigo for the annual Police Rifle Club Long Range Prize shoot where they acquitted themselves well last year.

We wish those contesting the long range well.
