KELLOCK LODGE PUBLIC MEETING
■ A PROPOSAL for the Alexandra community to take back control of Kellock Lodge will be put to a public meeting at 11am on Monday (Aug. 13) at the Alexandra Shire Hall. This follows extensive negotiations between Alexandra businessman Larry Fallon and Anglican Wangaratta Diocese Bishop John Parkes.
“The negotiations may result in the purchase of the facility and its return to the community if community agreement is reached,” said a statement released late on Monday. The negotiations appear to be entirely

dependent on community agreement. Mr Fallon plans to announce a proposal for the future of Kellock Lodge at the meeting, which is to be chaired by Murrindindi Shire Council Chief Executive Officer Craig Lloyd. Mr Fallon met the Bishop following a Kellock Lodge board meeting on Monday (Aug. 6) this week. The Bishop is believed to have had a meal at the Fallon home. It was agreed at the Board meeting that it was acceptable for a public meeting to be called and the details of the negotiation to be revealed. Mr Fallon declined to be drawn at the amount of finances required, when interviewed by The Local Paper on Monday. “If the community decides that they don’t want to continue with the purchase, then the deal falls over,” said the statement issued by a group close to Kellock Lodge. A Kellock Lodge board member is reported to have stated: “It seems to be a positive outcome and the community meeting will resolve the matter one way or another. We really need everyone to attend.”
This Week’s Question: Why do I need to read the Licence Agreement? Every licence agreement gives the seller or provider of the software or service the rights under that agreement. This means that if they have a a clause stating they can sell or dislose your information at their discretion and you have no recourse. Read as best you can licence agreements to ensure you don’t allow things you would rather not. It is better to protect than give away.

FOOTY, NETBALL RE-SHUFFLE League changes Empire grows
■ The AFLYarra Ranges empire grows as it incorporates six sides from Melbourne’s south-east next year. The new sides are Beaconsfield, Berwick, Doveton, Narre Warren, Officer, (football) ROC (netball), and Pakenham. It will not automatically follow that the four Murrindindi teams - Yea, Alexandra, Kinglake and Thornton-Eildon - will continue their association with the League beyond 2020. Those four sides may look to re-unite with some of their former Waranga/Kyabram District opponents from previous years, including Longwood, Violet Town, Bonnie Doon and Broadford. Kinglake may look towards Melbourne northern suburbs competitors, rather than travel for away matches in north-east Victoria. One current Division Two team is likely to leave after next month’s Grand Final, to join a revamped Division One. “In 2019, promotion from Division 2 will be by application or invitation only, subject to commission approval and assessment,” a AFL Yarra Ranges statement said. “By 2021, the aim is to have promotion and relegation across all divisions, with no qualifying parameters attached. “In the initial stages of the implementation of the Outer East Football Netball competition, the commission may utilise different promotion and relegation strategies to find competitive balance. “This may include strategies such as two up or down, no relegation or promotion only. “A consultative process will always be undertaken under this potential consideration,” AFLYarra Ranges said.
Changes for Murrindindi sides expected in 2020
3 rounds to go
■ There are only three rounds of AFL Yarra Ranges Division 2 football and netball to go. Each of the four Murrindindi teams will travel to Yarra Valley locations. This Saturday (Aug. 11) sees the following Round 16 fixtures:Yarra Glen v Kinglake, Gembrook-Cockatoo v Alexandra, Powelltown v Yea, Yarra Junction v Thornton-Eildon. Seville has the bye. There are four Division 1 rounds to go. This weekend’s matches are: Emerald v Belgrave, Mount Evelyn v WarburtonMillgrove, Upweyh-Tecoma v Monbulk, Wandin v Olinda-Ferny Creek, Woori Yallock v Healesville.
NFNL fixtures
■ Saturday’s football matches in the NFNL competition are: ■ Division 1: Macleod v Whittlesea, Montmorency v West Preston- Lakeside, North Heidelberg v Greensborough, Heidelberg v Northcote Park, Bundoora v Hurstbridge. ■ Division 2: Watsonia v Epping, Eltham v Banyule, Thomastown v Lower Plenty, Fitzroy Stars v Diamond Creek. ■ Division 3: Reservoir v Heidelberg West, Kilmore v Panton Hill, Lalor v Laurimar, Mernda v St Mary’s.

Salary caps
■ A points system and salary cap will apply to teams in each division from next year. In Division 2,, the salary cap for clubs will be $80,000. Salary Cap amounts are to be reviewed annually. The Premier League will have a cap of $125,000; the Division 1 cap will be $110,000. Full draft findings of the AFL Yarra Ranges Review will be released on Friday next week (Aug. 17). This document will provide: ■ Full details of the restructure for 2019 ■ Recommendations for football and netball at all levels. Clubs will have 28 days to respond to the review document and make recommendations of changes in writing. The final divisional structures for Season 2019 will be confirmed prior to September 28. “Club consultation is paramount in any changes to points or salary cap changes. “Premier Division Salary Caps should closely align to Mornington Peninsula Nepean and Eastern Football League Division 1 competitions.”

Banner from Switzerland
■ Yea’s latest Rotary exchange student Kimberley Bay presented a banner from her home club in Switzerland to local President Ken Maxfield on Thursday. The presentation was made at the weekly meeting of the club held at the Yea Golf Club rooms.
German drama ● Exchange student Kimberley Bay presents a banner from Switzerland to Rotary Club of Yea President Ken Maxfield
● Nina Hoss ■ Murrindindi Film Society will present the 2012 German psychological drama Barbara, at 7pm on Friday next week (Aug. 17) at the Yea Shire Chambers. Set in the former East Germany (GDR) in 1980, the filmtells the story of a successful female physician who is banished to a small rural hospital after making known her desire to practice in the West. She is under constant surveillance by a menacing GDR officer and lives with justified fear of imminent threat. Despite the risk, she plans to make an escape with the help of her West German boyfriend. In the meantime she becomes personally involved with some of her patients and develops a growing attachment to one of her fellow physicians, who may - or may not be - a Government spy. Director Christian Petzold paints a claustrophic picture of life in an oppressive society with prickles of unease creating a cold climate of paranoia. He uses sound to great effect and makes even the ring of a doorbell or the rustling of leaves menacing. With impeccable performances from Nina Hoss and Ronald Zehrfeld, the film has been described as an "elegant drama based on human and political dilemmas". Doors open at 6.45pm for drinks and nibbles. Prospective members and first time guests are welcome free-of-charge. All enquiries to Jill
Dwyer, Secretary on 5797 2480 or jill. dwyer@bigpond.com - Jill Dwyer

Previous winner, Victoria’s best local reporter
● Front-page of the second issue of The Phoenix on April 1, 2009 ■ Yea computer specialist Tony White has rescued an important part of the region’s history. Tony, of Your Computing Services, in The Crescent, Yea, has restored lost computer files of The Phoenix newspaper, which was published in 2009-11, after the Black Saturday fires. The files offer a contemporary week-by-week diary of the community’s recovery from the fires. Placed on two external computer disc drives, Tony was able to retrieve all files, which had become locked away on the equipment. Two Melbourne computer specialists had been unable to recover the important data. The Phoenix newspaper was commenced immediately after the fires, with the aim of providing a free advertising package worth $2000 to each of 250 local businesses. The total project was to have been worth $½million, donated by Local Media Pty Ltd, publishers of The Local Paper. Instead, the giveaway blew out to $1.3 million, helping hundreds more small businesses in the region. Replica copies of all editions of The Phoenix will be uploaded to LocalPaper.com.au prior to the 10th anniversary of the fires on February 7 next year.
Bushfires meeting ■ A second meeting will be held at the Taggerty Hall from 10am-11am this Saturday (Aug. 11) to discuss arrangements for the 10th anniversary of the 2009 bushfires.

All opinions will be valued.

● Back row, from left: Millie Charles, Bella Hargreaves, Finn Hargreaves and Lauren Baker. Front row: Andrew Bree, Bridie McSpeerin and Andrew Foster. ■ “What you have here at Sacred Heart is gold; there is no bullying,” said Ron Bamford, Lead Reviewer of the National School Improvement Tool Review, recently conducted at Sacred Heart Primary School in Yea by the Australian Council for Educational Research Committed to Excellence program. The NSIT Review is available to all Australian schools and is specifically designed to equip principals, boards and staff with the data they need to plot their school's current position, against international effective practice, and to plan a focussed approach to school improvement in the context of their school. The review took place over three days, during which time Mr Bamford and a coreviewer from Catholic Education Melbourne, made assessments against each of nine inter-related domains of effective school practice, gathered through evidence collection and consultation within the school. Sacred Heart was reported to be of a high standard in eight of the domains. These included: an explicit improvement agenda; analysis and discussion of data on student academic, attendance and behavioural outcomes; targeted use of school resources; school and community partnerships; an expert teaching team; systematic curriculum delivery; differentiated learning and teaching; and effective pedagogical practices. An outstanding result was awarded in the ninth domain of “a culture that promotes learning”. It was highlighted that “the school ethos is built around high expectations” and “classrooms are calm but busy and interruptions to teaching time are kept to a minimum. There are no obvious behavioural problems, very high rates of school attendance and engagement. There is a happy, optimistic feel to the school.” The report described Sacred Heart School as “the essence of community”. The school was commended on a range of findings including teachers' use of strategies in classrooms to meet the individual needs of students, the whole school collective responsibility to help every child move forward, the exciting kitchen garden for students to gain deeper understandings of science, one to one ratio for technology and a strong community reflected in relationships and practices which support all members and reflect its Catholic context. This review informs the school's Strategic Plan for continued improvement and another review will take place in four years. Principal Judy Degenhardt said how proud she felt of the result - staff, students and parents work hard to create the best learning outcomes for the students. Mrs Degenhardt moved to Sacred Heart from a Melbourne school last year. ' “How fortunate the Yea community is to have a school of this calibre in a small, rural town,” Mrs Degenhardt said. - Suzanne Brown

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.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood
Ministry of Coffee now in LA ■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.
Out and About
Aussies show how to make coffee
■ Ministry of Coffee, located on Glendon Avenue in Westwood Village, has all-day breakfast and lunch. Manager Nicole Rodrigues said she thinks MOC is different from other coffee shops in Westwood because it roasts its coffee in-house and provides a full food menu. As opposed to shops like Starbucks, where people often get their drinks to go, MOC allows patrons to sit and order food from their kitchen. This is the store's first location in the US; other locations include Sydney and Istanbul, Turkey. Rodrigues said MOC's owners chose to open in Westwood because they wanted to serve both the UCLA community and other local residents. The Westwood location is currently importing its coffee beans from roasting facilities at MOC's headquarters in Sydney, Australia. The idea for Ministry of Coffee is to offer a mostly Australian cafe experience complete with flat whites, morning egg sandwiches alongside some Turkish treats. There will be lots of lamb merguez sausage around, plus pancakes, a za'atar-roasted chicken salad sandwich, and Vegemite toast. Chef Luke Reyes is in as the overall development lead for the company's entire North American restaurant operations. Of course, this is far from the first Australian breakfast and coffee operator to come to Los Angeles. Bondi Harvest has the aesthetic nailed out in Santa Monica, while Paramount Coffee Project has been a colorful entrant into that same genre for a couple of years now. The sunny new Great White in Venice also follows the Australian coffee trend, while Little Ripper Coffee in Glassell Park makes for a more simplified mostly grab-and-go spot.
Bowie’s first recording
● Pictured trying out the newest Australian coffee experience at the Ministry of Coffee in Westwood Village is international film director Rod Hardy with Managing Director of Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, Alan Johnson.
Schneider Still Can't Pay
50 mil. visitors ■ Tourism is a major contributor to the economy of Los Angeles County. Set to draw 50 million visitors a year to Los Angeles County. The figures have risen from 42.2 million visitors that jumped last year to 45.6 million and this year the goal is 50 million visitors which would generate $1.7 billion in taxes and support 528,000 jobs.
Viper Room sold ■ It's all happening on Sunset Boulevard just blocks away from the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites on Santa Monica Boulevard. Eateries and hotels with a few live music venues make up the magic of Sunset Boulevard. Sadly the music venues are disappearing. The latest one to fall to the developers charge is the legendary Viper Room, 8852 Sunset Boulevard. Four Sunset Strip properties including one in which The Viper Room nightclub and rock music venue is a tenant have been sold for $80 million. The Viper Room originally was a jazz club called the melody Room and was frequented by customers that included Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen. It eventually was rebranded and opened as The Viper Room in 1993, the same year actor River Phoenix suffered a fatal drug overdose at the club on Halloween morning. The Viper Room was once partly owned by actor Johnny Depp and became a hangout of Hollywood stars.
■ It's a voice that would go on to become one of the most famous and distinctive in rock history. David Bowie's firstever lead vocal recorded in a studio in 1963 - when he was just 16 years old - has been rediscovered by chance, stashed in an old bread basket. In the only known recording of his first lead vocal session with his first band, The Konrads, Bowie can be heard singing I Never Dreamed. The demo is now expected to fetch £10,000 at auction. Konrads drummer and manager David Hadfield, who said he found it when moving home, rediscovered the tape. The tape was hidden in an old breadbasket along with booking forms, photographs, promotional sketches, letters and bills, in a loft above the garage. Hadfield recalled: "We had decided that we would do a couple of guitar instrumentals and one original song. I chose I Never Dreamed as it was the strongest; the other two were a bit weak. I also decided that David was the best person to sing it and give the right interpretation. So this became the very first recording of David Jones singing 55 years ago." Jones would go on to change his surname to Bowie to avoid confusion with a Davy Jones of The Monkees.

First-ever parking meter
● David Cassidy
■ Carl C. Magee in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma invented the parking meter in 1935. The first meter was installed there later that year, guaranteeing drivers a parking space for an amount of purchased time. Used until the 1980s, Magee's original design had a coin acceptor, a dial, and a visible flag indicating the expiration of paid time. Reverend C.H. North was the first person in the US to get a parking ticket because of an expired meter.
David Cassidy’s money ■ David Cassidy's son Beau is set to inherit a lot more money than expected; up to $1.68 million more. The Partridge Family star's estate was originally estimated to be worth around $150,000 in assets, there were concerns that after paying off all of his debts, which totaled $186,840, there wouldn't be much left. However, the estate reportedly now claims that after Cassidy's debts are paid off, it would be left with assets and cash with a value of approximately $230,000.

■ After being released from jail early, former Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider has asked the court to restore his original jail sentence for unpaid spousal support in June. Schneider was sentenced to three days behind bars after he failed to pay his ex-wife, Elvira ‘Elly’ Schneider, more than $150,000 of alimony that he owed her. But the actor barely had to serve his three-day jail time. Schneider was released from jail on the same day as his booking due to the facility's overcrowding. But the 58-year-old actor recently revealed that he is "leveraged to the max" when it comes to money admitting to being bogged down by loans and said that he would "unlikely" be able to comply with the court's conditions to pay his wife the amount of money she is owed. So, instead, the actor asked the court to let him serve his full sentence.
Rich man Jeff Bezos ■ The Amazon.com Inc. founder's net worth broke $150 billion in New York on Monday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That's about $55 billion more than Microsoft Corp. cofounder Bill Gates, the world's second-richest person. Bezos, 54, has now topped Gates in inflation-adjusted terms. The $100 billion mark that Gates hit briefly in 1999 at the height of the dot-com boom would be worth about $149 billion in today's dollars. That makes the Amazon chief executive officer richer than anyone else on earth since at least 1982, when Forbes published its inaugural wealth ranking. Jeff Bezos Facts: 1. Bezos makes more money in one minute than the average millennial makes in a year. 2. Bezos has more than four times as much money as his alma mater, Princeton University. 3. He's one of the top 25 largest landowners in America. 4. He's building the biggest home in Washington, DC (aside from The White House). 5. He may be 'the first 12-digit man,' but his net worth could go even higher.

Top 10 Lists
FILM: THE DEATH OF STALIN: Genre: Comedy. Cast: Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, Paddy Considine, Simon Russell Beale, Tom Brooke, Jeffrey Tambor. Year: 2017. Rating: MA15+ Length: 107 Minutes. Stars: **** Verdict: In early-1953 Moscow, under the Great Terror's heavy cloak of state paranoia, the ever-watchful Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, collapses unexpectedly of a brain haemorrhage. and when his body is discovered in the following morning, a frenetic surge of raw panic spreads like a virus in the senior members of the Council of Ministers, as they scramble to maintain order, weed out the competition, and, ultimately, take power. Side-splitting laugh-out-loud British satire on the days following the death of brutal dictator Stalin is equalling terrifying because the events on-screen remain almost as frighteningly true to the nature of the actual events as they unfolded. Superbly cast, each individual role a stand-out, and complete with original British, Cockney and American accents (Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev is worth the price of admission alone), Scottish co-writer and director Armando Iannucci, whose previous credits include the acclaimed The Thick of It, In The Loop and Veep, unleashes every ounce of his bumbling farcical savage wit on the ruthless cold war totalitarian regime and with the grip of vice and impact of a sledgehammer. Intelligent, tragic, hysterically funny, frightening, thought provoking and hugely entertaining, this is a reminder of one of the darkest chapters in 20th century history that stands proudly in the shadow of Stanley Kubrick's brilliantly biting and unsurpassed 1964 political satire and cinematic comic masterpiece "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," and with "The Death of Stalin," it could very well be the best Monty Python movie Monty Python never made. Footnote: The movie was banned in Russia on January 23, 2018, two days before it was due to be released. The Cultural Ministry stated, "The distribution certificate for the film The Death of Stalin has been withdrawn." One member of the Culture Ministry's advisory board was quoted as saying, "The film desecrates our historical symbols -- the Soviet hymn, orders and medals, and Marshal Zhukov is portrayed as an idiot," and added that the film's release in advance of the 75th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Stalingrad (February 2nd), would be "an affront to Russia's World War II veterans."

FILM: LBJ: Genre: Biography/Drama. Cast: Woody Harrelson, Richard Jenkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bill Pullman. Year: 2016. Rating: M. Length: 98 Minutes. Stars: *** Summary: LBJ centres on the political upheaval that Vice President Lyndon Johnson faced when he was thrust into the presidency following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963, and as political issues battle on both sides of the aisle, Johnson struggles to heal a nation and secure his presidency by passing Kennedy's historic Civil Rights Act. Effective but not all together complete or fulfilling biopic on one of the most complex and disliked president's of the United States during post WWII's most explosive decade, the 1960s, covering too fleetingly many areas of controversy surrounding the events, and, like Kathryn Bigelow's political and racially charged "Detroit" (2018), lacks the full emotional force of the period and events in and out of The White House. However, there is a lot to be gripped by, because as a brief snapshot of complex man with his manipulative methods, conflicting beliefs, the high-powered forces around him, to his personal side with his wife, Lady Bird Johnson, the film succeeds on numerous levels, giving us a brief but stimulating glimpse into a man that volumes have been written about, but still so little is known about. Woody Harrelson may be hard to accept as LBJ at first, but like most other portrayals of U.S. President's they are ultimately caricatures, and for the most parts Harrelson's performance soon holds a certain spell, and along with a stellar supporting cast that includes Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lady Bird Johnson, Jeffrey Donovan as John F. Kennedy, Michael Stahl-David as Bobby Kennedy and Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins, both the period of events and film hold a firm grip. Director Rob Reiner, whose previous credits include "This is Spinal Tap" (1984), "A Few Good Men" (1992), "The American President" (1995), "The Princess Bride" (1987), "Misery" (1990) and "Stand By Me" (1986), holds it together well, and be it 98 minutes or 298 minutes, it would have only covered the surface, and here, has created a biopic that is a worthy addition to an impressive line-up of films. You may wish to check out the similarly themed TV movies "All The Way" (2016) with Bryan Cranston, and "Path To War" (2002) with Michael Gambon and Donald Sutherland.

The Festival will screen at ACMI in Melbourne from September 6-13. For further details, please go to either www.koffia.com.au or www.acmi.net.au Please enjoy what this terrific Festival has to offer. A Taxi Driver. 137 minutes. (Opening Night Film). **** Powerful drama detailing the growing friendship between a Korean taxi driver and a noted German reporter, while the latter covers the brutal Gwanju uprising in May 1980. Based on the incredible true-life exploits of Jurgen Hinzpeter and Kim Sa-bok. First-rate on every level. Be With You. 132 minutes. ***½ A remake of the lovely 2004 Japanese film (which in turn was based on a 2003 novel, and later was adapted as a TV series in 2005), this latest re-incarnation proves to be very entertaining as well, with a nicely chosen cast delivering the emotional goods. Midnight Runners. 108 minutes. **** Two police academy students witness a kidnapping while on leave one night, leading them into a dark criminal underworld. Smart, energetic mix of comedy, action, and thriller, bringing life to material that is familiar and formulaic. Little Forest. 104 minutes. ***½ This remake of the 2014-2015 Japanese films, which spread the four seasons over two movies, is an utter delight, putting a decidedly Korean spin on the source material. The cast are perfect, creating a wonderful chemistry that just adds to the fun. I Can Speak. 119 minutes. ***½ Generally absorbing drama that effectively transforms from one kind of film to another, building its character relationships with skill along the way. Does fall into button-pushing melodrama during its big finale, but overall is an affecting viewing experience. Strong work from the two leads. Gonjiam : Haunted Asylum. 94 minutes. **** One of the biggest surprises of this year, turning the tiresome, overused found footage formula into something invigorating, stylish,
and best of all, scary. A cast of unknowns are exceptionally good. Stand By Me. 92 minutes. ** Poorly structured and directed drama that certainly has good intentions. A grandfather who doesn't have long to live, has to decide what to do with the two grandchildren he has had to raise on his own. Artificial and underwritten, not helped by some awkward performances. The Vanished. 101 minutes. Have not seen. A remake of the 2012 Spanish film The Body. Glass Garden. 117 minutes. Have not seen. The new film from extremely talented film-maker Shin Su-won, who directed the must-see features Pluto (2013) and Madonna (2015). Golden Slumber. 108 minutes. *** Overly truncated remake of the excellent 2010 Japanese thriller offers well-staged action scenes and slick visuals, but the main character's journey has been altered, and details jettisoned, muting the story's dramatic impact. A strong cast help. A Haunting Hitchhike. 108 minutes. Have not seen. Family drama centring on a teenage girl searching for her long absent mother. What A Man Wants. 101 minutes. ***1/2 A clever, frequently funny look at two married couples, who experience various kinds of hardships. Characters aren't condescended to, and the laughs are nicely entwined with a measured, dramatic undercurrent. Fine performances all round. A remake of the 2011 Czech film Men In Hope. Champion. 108 minutes. Have not seen. Drama sounds like a cross between Sylvester Stallone's Over The Top and Charles Bronson's Hard Times. Stars popular actor Ma Dongseok, who can currently be seen in cinemas in the entertainingly epic sequel Along With The Gods : The Last 49 Days (***½). Believer. 123 minutes. ***½ Well-crafted remake of Johnnie To's excellent 2013 crime thriller Drug War. Story has been changed considerably, unfortunately making its twist all-too obvious. Strong performances abound, and the films features a wonderfully haunting final scene. Keys To The Heart. 121 minutes. Have not seen. Well received family drama starring Lee Byung-hun, who is currently headlining the smash hit TV series, Mr. Sunshine. Microhabitat. 106 minutes. (Closing Night Film). Have not seen. Amusing premise about a woman who prefers her cigarette addiction over having a roof over her head. Word of mouth has been strong on this one. - Aaron Rourke

Deck-Doc
Local company chosen as best in the world
For many years Deck-Doc has been supplying retailers throughout Australia with their premium range of timber and decking oils. For the past three years, Deck-Doc has been predominantly selling their products online to service the whole of Australia as well as international customers.
Deck-Doc was recently chosen over other companies to supply their oils to an international company and is in the process of sealing an agency agreement for exclusive distribution and selling rights in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Deck-Doc timber oil is environmentally friendly and the business has been manufacturing unique, lanolin-based timber oil in Geelong for 15 years. The formula was developed by Robert Hylands to preserve the natural oils and tannins in the timber. The timbers oils and tannins determine the colour of the timber. If the tannins dry out, the timber will lose its own natural colour. The formula is made up of many different plant oils, waxes and lanolin and designed to stay soft and pliable when absorbed into the surface layers of the timber, therefore will not solidify and form a hard membrane of the surface. It will move with the timber during all weather conditions preventing water absorption and drying out of the tannins. Mr Hylands first developed the timber oil when he noticed there was nothing on the market that preserved the timber and protected the timber’s natural colour. Before his time at Deck-Doc, he gained experience when he owned a factory making hand carved, handpainted wooden decoy ducks for duck hunters. The timber used for the ducks had to maintain its natural colour and stay on the water without absorbing moisture. After extensive research, he found lanolin (wool grease) gave excellent water repellency as well as UV protection. Mr Hylands developed lanolin-based timber protection oil and found the water-repellent protection and preservative way far superior and says lanolin is “Nature’s natural UV protection”. Lanolin comes from the wool of sheep and is extracted from the fleece. It is a substance that waterproofs, insulates, and protects sheep from the cold, wind, rain and harmful CV sun rays. Deck-Doc uses the best merino wool to extract lanolin. Throughout history ancient mariners such as the Vikings used lanolin to protect, waterproof and preserve the wooden boards on their ships. Many of the ships were away from their home bases for many years and their ships were subjected to wild storms at sea. They survived thanks to the protection of Lanolin. Deck-Doc invites all to visit their showroom in Moolap for free advice in a number of important issues concerning timber care. There is a large selection of timber types that have been exposed to severe weather conditions, enabling people to understand the importance of choosing a suitable timber type. for the right application. Also know what happens to the different types of decking stains and coatings, how they weather, and the maintenance required. The friendly staff have useful hints for anyone preparing to build a new deck.

■ Carleton Carpenter was born in Bennington, Vermont, in 1926. During his lifetime Carleton has worked in a wide variety of jobs - a bellhop, professional magician, circus clown, church organist, bar room piano player, Navy Seabee, screen writer, composer and lyricist, cabaret singer, Vaudeville performer and recording artist. He came into films in the late forties with small roles in MGM films such as Father of the Bride and Three Little Words. Because he is 6'3" tall he felt that Gene Kelly was "a bit spooky" with him in Summer Stock so he spent most of the film stooped over against the very short Gene Kelly. His big break came in 1950 when he was cast as ‘Billy Finlay’ in the MGM film Two Weeks With Love opposite Debbie Reynolds. I spoke to Carleton in a radio interview several years ago and he told me that during the rehearsals for Jane Powell's song The Oceana Roll he picked up an old piece of sheet music lying on top of the piano. He started to play it and Debbie Reynolds joined in the singing. Just then he spotted the producer Jack Cummings heading their way. He asked the rehearsal pianist to play the music as fast as he could while Carleton and Debbie sang the song. Jack Cummings heard them and said "Say, that sounds like a great number for you kids."

Weaving Stories Contemporary identity is at the heart of Weaving Stories - presenting the work od four Australian artists who explore the rich nature of personal cultural attachments. Each artist draws on imagery from their cultural heritage and explore how identity is shaped and informed by inherited and living memories. Pictorial traditions from the Indo-Persian miniatures in Nusra Latif Qureshi's layered prints converge with hybrid Chinese mythological figures in Kate Beynon's works. Shan Turner-Carroll's tribal Burmese and Papua New Guinea influences are woven through his intimate family portraits, while the rich cultural traditions of proud Wailwan woman and Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place Elder Aunty Irene Norman, are celebrated through each of her intricately woven works. At the same time as Weaving Stories is on display in Artspace, an exciting new mural by Bundit Puangthong will be installed on the Artspace art wall. Bundt is a contemporary Thai artist based in Melbourne, his work fuses training in traditional Thai art with a modern eastern-based art practice. Exhibition: closes: Sunday, September 9. Exhibition Activities: Kids can join Weaving Stories artist Nusra Latif Qureshi to learn how to create fabulous beasts in Watercolour.

Country Crossroads
It's not just about fine reds
By Rob Foenander info@countrycrossroads com.au
No 26 for Gary
■ Gary Leonard Hammond has released his brand new album titled Number 26. The 13 original tracks are all written by Gary and no doubt will be picked up and added to radio playlists around the country. The Melbourne singer-songwriter, teacher, musician and entertainer is also the front man for the popular 4 Peace band. More info at garyleonardhammond.comod Fri
New Country
■ Country Comes To Town is a new concept bringing the best artists that Victorian Country music has to offer, to audiences in Melbourne and regional Victoria. On show will be an eclectic array of established local bands and artists, as well as up and coming performers. Each showcase will include an assortment of Victoria's best independent acts and styles, ranging from country rock to country blues to alt country and Australiana. Furthermore says spokesmanTony Bonnici, many of these acts are currently heard on country radio programs nationally and overseas. The first event will be on Saturday, October 6 at Alphington Bowls Club, 28 Parkview Rd, Alphington. Featured artists will inc Brad Brewer, Susan Lily, Rattlincane and The Prairie Oysters. Admission is $15.
Keith is back
■ Aussie singer-songwriter and world superstar Keith Urban has announced his 2019 Australian schedule as part of his world tour behind his current album Graffiti U. Melbourne fans can see him at Rod Laver on February 5. Keith was last here in 2016 and notched up a number of sellout shows.
■ John Rozentals registers a blast from the past as he tastes a Peter Douglas riesling. When people think of the isolated extremely southerly South Australian region of Coonawarra and talk about its wines they almost automatically turn their attention to its superb reds … to wines made principally from cabernet sauvignon and shiraz. And quite rightly too. They are superb drinking on release and have the ability to live for many years with sympathetic cellaring. Yet one of my favourite wines from the district - Wynns Coonawarra Riesling - is a dry white. It was fashioned by the great Peter Douglas when he was the estate's chief winemaker in the 1980s and there have been many examples since then of the wine's pristine, quite ethereal beauty. I was reminded of the great Douglas rieslings when I recently tasted the Di Giorgio 2018 Riesling (a steal at about $19) from Kongorong, near Mount Gambier and a few clicks to the south-west of Coonawarra. I shouldn't have been surprised, because it too was made by Peter Douglas, who these days works on a consultancy basis for a number of Coonawarra and nearby wineries. It's floral and zestily citric, crisp and crunchy. In short, it's a very attractive young white with, I think, quite a cellaring future.

TILING
In the past few weeks, Murrindindi Shire Council's Community Safety team have been monitoring school crossings and parking bays around the municipality. A number of people have been stopping in marked clearways and bus parking areas during school pick-ups and drop-offs. Stopping in these areas is potentially dangerous to both the parents and children in the illegally-stopped cars as well as the children on the buses. It is really important to remember when the 'school crossing' signs are out that you must obey any clearway signs displayed. From 1 August 2018, Murrindindi Shire Council will be issuing fines to those stopped in clearways illegally. The fine amount is currently $159. A number of people have also been parking in disabled bays across the Shire without displaying a valid disabled parking permit. If you have a disabled parking permit, please ensure it is displayed on your windscreen. Those found to be illegally using a disabled bay are liable for a fine of up to $159. Between now and 1 September 2018, disabled parking bay offences will attract an official warning notice. From 1 September 2018, fines will be issued for these offences. It's important that we remember to consider road safety around school crossings and be mindful of parking appropriately.

Local Railway History by L:ance Adams
Who remembers the local footy ‘specials’? ■ With the train set, engine and crews locally Yea based and special train movements arranged and controlled by the Station Master at Yea special trains were often run to convey locals to neighboring towns in the 30s and 40s. Many a story about these social football event specials have been related to me over the years by the crews who ran them and locals who had travelled on them. The regular Yea consist consisted of about five carriages, capable of carrying 250 - 300 people to social events like this. It is easy to imagine a D3 Loco at the head of its consist of 5 V class corridor rolling stock and a train load of party reveling locals. I am in possession of a 1915 black-and-white photograph of the Yea local set standing at the Yea station, only this time the motive power is W 225. It is has 5 V class six-wheeled bogie cars behind it. The W class locos disappeared from the Victorian Railways in the early 30s with the advent of the DD locos, which later morphed to become the ever reliable and easy to work on D3 light line workhorses. When train services began in 1883 the service was operated out of Tallarook using "O" & "Q" class primitive saturated, slide valve engines. These engines sported large domes and looked archaic in early photographs. By the 1930's the "W"s were at the end of their service and well worn out and were replaced on service to the line by the newer D3 locos. These remained the stable means of motive power on the line until the more powerful and modern "K" class arrived in the 40's. With the arrival of the top heavy, rough riding, coal hungry, thirsty "J" class engines in the 50's, the stalwart "K" class locos were superseded on the line. Yea's steam motive power allocation settled into a routine of 2 J class engines (514 & 516) and 1 K class engine (150 which was here for more than a decade when it was replaced by 154 now statically preserved in a pioneer settlement in Moe. J516 after spending many years in a park in Greensborough, is currently under restoration in Healesville and will steam again on that line. This fleet of Yea based chariots of fire, served the district until the line was dieselised in the 60s. Diesel locos drifted in and out daily as there was no fueling facilities on the line for them. The regular classes of diesels were the "T" and "Y" class with an occasional visit by a "B" class engine on a special working (goods and passenger) On at least one occasion a "W" class diesel hydraulic. I was lucky enough to actually photograph "W" class here at Yea on possibly its only visit out here. An extremely rare event back somewhere about 1970. I have included an Image of K154 opposite the Yea Locomotive shed on the site of the skate park now. I have also attached two images of the visit by Seymour based W256 to Yea in 1970. This is possibly the only time a "W" diesel came onto the line. If not, it is the only image I know of that exists of such an event.

YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT SENIORS Yea 8.8 (56) defeated by Yarra Glen 13.17 (95) Yea battled hard against second placed Yarra Glen but in the end were outclassed, going down by 39 points at the Recreation Reserve. After a poor start cost them against Kinglake a week earlier, the Tigers were up for the fight early and matched the visitors in the contest, going into quarter-time three points behind. Despite recording the same number of inside 50s in the second term, Yea failed to hit the scoreboard (1.4) while the Riverpigs made no such mistake, piling on four majors to extend their lead to 21 points at half time. A five-goal to two third quarter by Yarra Glen looked like putting the result beyond doubt before three consecutive majors to the Tigers late in the piece breathed some life back into the game. However, it wasn't enough to close the gap, with the loss leaving Yea with a simple equation: they must win their final two matches of the season if they hope to play finals. Lachie Beattie booted two goals in the final term and provided a good target in a role inside attacking 50, while Riley Aldous was strong around the contest all day. Adrian McCarthy (one goal) worked tirelessly through the midfield, Ash Walsh offered good drive from defence and Brad Clements competed well in the ruck despite giving away plenty of height. The Tigers travel to Powelltown in a do-ordie clash this Saturday. Goalkickers: H. Jarvie 2, M. Curcio 2, L. Beattie 2, A. McCarthy, R. Timmins Best Players: L. Beattie, R. Aldous, A. Walsh, A. McCarthy, B. Clements, J. Salau
RESERVES
Yea 10.6 (66) defeated Yarra Glen 7.5 (47) Level on points prior to the match, Yea had a golden opportunity to go a game clear of Yarra Glen and they did just that, recording a character-building 19-point victory. The Tigers made the early running, locking the ball inside attacking 50 and peppering the big sticks to take a 13-point advantage at quarter time after holding the visitors goalless. Yarra Glen lifted their intensity in the second term and tightened up proceedings, with each side kicking two majors and leaving the match delicately balanced at the major break. The home side looked a little shaky as the Riverpigs roared back into the contest but Yea stood tall in the final quarter to hold on for a memorable win. Darcy Pell put together yet another star performance in the ruck, ably assisted by Tom Butterworth, who slotted three goals and clunked some crucial marks in defence late in the match. Jack McMaster also slotted three majors in a brilliant effort across half forward, Eddie Neilson was influential through the midfield and Emerson Daines was excellent for the second week in a row, while Andrew Butterworth was a rock in the back half. Yea will head to Powelltown in a bid to solidify their position in the top three. Goalkickers: J. McMaster 3, T. Butterworth 3, E. Neilson 2, P. Kiss, B. Broadway Best Players: D. Pell, E. Neilson, J. McMaster, T. Butterworth, E. Daines, A. Butterworth - Patrick Evans
NETBALL A-GRADE Yea had their full squad fit and available for the first time in weeks when they clashed with Yarra Glen on Saturday at Yea. Leaving last week’s loss behind, Yea started strongly and never looked back, putting a consistent four-quarter performance together. Megan Leatham GK and Nikki Watts GS were outstanding in the first quarter, bookending
YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT
YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT
ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT
Yea's play with Megan intercepting the Yarra Glen attack and Nikki finishing off the transitional play with beautiful goal shooting. Yea scored freely for most of the game, their ball movement quick and precise, preventing the Yarra Glen defence time to restrict the movement of Mel and Nikki in the goal ring. Yea scored 40 goals in the last 30 minutes of play, Ruby O'Dwyer and Chelsea Spagnolo were both strong on their wings using tight defence and strong drives in attack. Megan Leatham was Yea’s best in an outstanding performance at GK, and Mel Martinov was once again dominant scoring 54 goas in the Tigers’ 45-goal victory. Yea 76 def Yarra Glen 31 Goals: M. Martinov 54, N. Watts 23 Best: M. Leatham, G. Duncan, M. Martinov B-GRADE B-Grade also had their full squad available, the team of nine not playing together since Round 8. Sarah Armstrong and Cindy Newcomen were welcome returns and both girls made an instant impact in defence with beautiful intercepts in the Yarra Glen goal third. The game was evenly contested early on in the first quarter but once Yea got in to full swing they broke three Yarra Glen centre passes, resulting in a seven-goal lead at ¼ time. Cindy and Lauren Cronk were outstanding in the second quarter, Yarra Glen only managing four goals against them whilst the Tigers had their best quarter with 18 goals. Yarra Glen improved after the half time break, only losing the third quarter by four and then outscored the Tigers by one goal in the last. 35 goals were shot between both teams in the last quarter in a goaling frenzy. Yea make the long trip to Powelltown next weekend and will look to continue their strong run of form. Yea 62 def Yarra Glen 38 Goals: M. Sundblom 47, C. Hayes 12, T. Gregory 3 Best: C. Newcomen, S. Watts, T. Gregory. C-GRADE In total contrast to the previous D-Grade game the Tigers C-Graders came out firing from the first whistle. This team is proving to be a force to reckon and are clearly enjoying their netball. Coach Mel Martinov has such confidence in her players and their abilities that she is still working varied combinations with great success which is the luxury of the diversity of the group. 14 to 5 at the first change and Yarra Glen had no answers and now had to play catch up. The second quarter was the strongest defensively by the Tigers with Yarra Glen only being allowed to score one goal for the whole quarter. The third and fourth were carbon copies even though positional changes were made by both teams. Accurate shooting and fantastic feeding into the ring saw the C-Graders victors, 39 to 15, at the final whistle. D-GRADE The last time Yea met Yarra Glen the D-Grade Yarra Glen girls kept the Tigers at bay for three quarters but the Tigers came home strong in the last to snatch victory. This week the Tigers didn't want to replicate the faults of the last meeting and wanted a strong start but Yarra Glen weren't going to let that happen easily. Starting fairly evenly it was Yarra Glen up by one at the quarter-time break. An injury to the Tigers pivotal player and goaler Stacey Murray put the D's further on the back foot and would require a team effort to claw it back and snatch victory again. Although there were turnovers up and down the court the Yea girls couldn't convert them into scoring points. Poor vision, basic errors and lack of drive meant only 1 goal was scored in the last quarter by the D's.
Disappointing game all round as the Tigers weren't beaten by a better team they were beaten by themselves. We wish Stacey Murray all the best in her recovery. Yea defeated 12 to 18. - Cindy Hayes and Deb Schickerling
lead at the last change. In wintry conditions both teams slogged it out in the last quarter, the Rebels adding a point whilst Wandin kicked two goals to take the lead late in the game, the Rebels pushing forward and kicking their only goal of the quarter to regain a two-point lead just before the final siren sounded, Alexandra 6.13 (49) to Wandin 7.5 (47). Awards: Bundalaguah Engineering award Nathan Stewart, Hadfield Contractors award Jake Keath, Alexandra Tyrepower award - Tom Rouget, RPT Plastering award - David Ray, DMK Taxation award - Drew Kaempkes, Alexandra Apparel award - Hamish Dunsford, Coach's award - Ben Thomas. RESERVES The Reserves had their customary many changes and needed a win to stay in contention for a finals spot. Alex again needed the services of five Under 18s who had already played out a hardfought win against Wandin and one Under 16, Ben Jack playing alongside dad Corey, to make up the 22. Both sides struggled early and the standard was not much better than the preceding game until Alex got some system into their play in the second quarter as conditions improved and got on top. If young Ben wants to be a good footballer all he has to do is watch how Dad goes about the game, playing his 23rd season Corey was easily best on ground with his reading of the play, ball handling and his disposal by both hand and foot. The game was virtually all over at half time and although Alexandra only kicked seven goals after the long break they accomplished what the set out to do, win the game and boost their percentage. Best players included the aforementioned Corey Jack and Michael Miller who led and marked strongly to finish with four goals, Daniel Roper who had a physical battle with the Thornton ruckman and gave 100 per cent as always. When ‘Ropes’ put his hand up to nominate for this stupid ruck rule I don't think the umpire believed him due to the difference in height, Under 18s Daniel McFadzean showed plenty of promise whilst teammate Hamish Dunsford bagged two good goals, Jonathan Noy and Todd Eddy also played well in the win, Alex 15.14 (104) defeated Thornton Eildon 0.1 (1). The future of the Alexandra Football-Netball Club looks bright as these young under 18 players develop and mature.

SENIORS The Seniors had a later start than normal because of the earlier game schedule. Possibly due to the early predictions for a cold wintry day with early morning drizzle, we had the smallest crowd I have ever seen at Thornton for a local derby. The Rebels included Brandon Kapakoulakis and Ben Woollard to replace Chris McKay and Daniel Rouget and began to the Motel end and it was soon evident that the visiting team was in for a good win as Alex was getting the ball away from the centre repeatedly and Matt Steiner, Kapakoulakis (twice) and Jack Goonan kicked goals. Brayden Norris also led and marked strongly to finish the quarter with four successive goals despite some uncharacteristic misses early, as Alex set up the win with an eight-goal quarter. The second quarter continued the same as Michael Coombs and Steve Steiner continually put the Rebels into attack where Norris with another four goals and a couple of misses and Joe Daniel (two goals) were too strong in the air Continued on Page 71
JUNIOR NETBALL Yea’s Under 11s and Under 15s travelled to Wandong for the semi-finals of netball on Sunday. They were greeted with extreme wind conditions but weren’t deterred because they were excited and ready to fight for their place in the next final. Unfortunately both teams came away with loses, ending their season now. Under 11s lost by one goal, and Under 15s by two goals. All girls can be congratulated on how they conducted themselves throughout the season, always showing great sportsmanship to each other and opponents, respect for their coaches, volunteers and umpires. Coaches Cindy Hayes (U11s) and Katherine Briggs (U15s) are both very proud of their girls. Final scores U11: Yea 10 def by Alex 11 U15: Yea 32 def by Euroa 34 - Georgie Wells
GIRLS’ FOOTBALL What a game at Worowa Aboriginal College. It took our girls a little bit to get going but after the Worowa girls controlled the first half game, the Yea girls pulled together and got going. It made for a nail biting, second-half. Some very frustrating decisions from the umpire appeared to rattle the girls but after Greg (coach) told them to get over it, the knew they had to fight even harder for any chance of winning. Outstanding efforts from the from start, to end from Taliyah Thomas, kicking our first goal in the third quarter. This wasfollowed by another by Abbey Hanlon. This got the girls well and truly fired up. Ruby O’Dwyer, Cassy Wilsmore and Asha Close, were consistent in the midfield, once again. Again our young girls’ contribution was fantastic, including a brilliant mark by Storm Crumpen-Dolheguy. Shayla Perry played great, using her speed to outrun the opposition.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT SATURDAY The AFL Yarra Ranges League Round 15 of the 2018 season last Saturday saw the Rebels travel to Thornton for the local derby for two games of football and two games of netball, whilst the Under 18s hosted Wandin also at Thornton. The Under 18s started at 9am and took on Wandin who they had beaten earlier in the season but inaccurate kicking in front of goal with one goal from four scoring shots set the tone for the day whilst Wandin were efficient with two straight goals to lead at the first break. Wandin again kicked two straight goals in the second quarter whilst the Rebels kicked three goals from eight scoring shots to lead by eight points at the main break. In a great, entertaining, tight game of football both teams kicked one goal from five scoring shots with the Rebels maintaining the eight-point

THORNTON-EILDON FOOTBALL-NETBALL CLUB REPORT
THORNTON-EILDON FOOTBALL-NETBALL CLUB REPORT
Continued From Page 69 with the defence, despite a misunderstanding early, well on top and allowed the home side very little. Going into the second-half with an unassailable lead, Norris (5) and the team (9 goals) had their biggest quarter of the game despite the loss of the injured Steve Steiner, Daniels continued to provide an optional marking target whilst Matt Steiner was equally good in the air and on the ground. Despite the valiant efforts of the undermanned Thornton-Eildon team epitomised by Daniel Creed, lone goalkicker Luke Davison and ‘Biscuit’ Arnott, Alexandra led by Ben Woollard, Brent McDonald, Nick Waugh and those previously mentioned went on to achieve what they set out to do, win the match and increase their percentage (15.9 per cent) Alex 28.19 (187) to Thornton Eildon 3.2 (20). Alexandra's fate is now in their own hands as they need to win probably two of the remaining three games to play finals. For the record, Brayden Norris finished with 15 goals to equal Rob Britt's tally kicked at the Showgrounds against Yarra Junction in 1980, although Kevin Hedger kicked 19 goals in the Reserves against Marysville that same year.

ers, and their well-polished attacking side brought challenges by the dozen for our defence, however in true Thornton fashion we rose to each occasion with gusto. Both grades adapted quickly after observing each play, resulting in many intercepts and multiple goals. We are so proud of our netballers for rising to the occasion and maintaining their smiles and fantastic attitudes week after week. This is a true reflection of Thornton culture and with a bit of hard work and fine tuning, we can't wait to see what the coming seasons will bring. - Jess Slapp WOMEN’S FOOTBALL Thornton Eildon Women’s team played their last home game for the season Saturday and ran out with fire and passion onto a soggy ground after the Under 18’s game. Starting the day with 16 a field and no bench, versing East Ringwood with young legs plus a full bench have a great season sitting third on the ladder. Thornton are known to have a strong tackling game, and it is quite evident to see the team bonding and skill improvement during their first season even now implementing some basic set plays. The game was played in great spirits from both sides, and the pressure applied to Ringwood really showed during the whole game. The Thornton side was reduced to 15 at half time with Tracy coming off the field with mild concussion after putting in a remarkable effort. Young gun Rachel really put in and it goes to show with no previous footy experience coming in halfway thru the season an individual can really give it a crack. Ringwood was consistent each quarter scoring steadily, with the Thornton girls thanked and congratulated by Ringwood which is so fantastic to have such support within the division. Thornton 1. 1 (7) to Ringwood 11.10 (76) Goals: Natasha Hay Best: E. Kerr T. Brown R. Michaelson T.Werrett N. Hay L. McRae This weekend, marked the Boners’ loyal devotee and resident king of the one liners Jeremy Parkers 100-game milestone. Jezza truly bleeds blue and white, the Thornton Eildon Football Netball Club would like to congratulate Jeremy on this excellent achievement and commend Jezza’s commitment to this humble little club as a ‘local identity’, player, supporter, mentor, coach and role model. Thank-you Jeremy Parker. RESERVES Jez lead out the boys in the reserves against Alexandra. Wet conditions didn’t bother the Thornton side too much, however Alexandra took off in the second quarter with Thornton not able to push forwards finding the sticks. By all means the Thornton fellas kept pushing on during their match but Alexandra was too good this time and will surely give Thornton something to think about. Best. J. Parker B. Clark D. Allan T. Polson Alexandra 15.14. (104) to Thornton 0.1 (1) SENIORS It was not an easy game for the Boners firsts this week, with having a tough year. It is undeniable that it’s disheartening to a side that has been walloped week in and out, however it is commendable to the two men’s senior sides rolling out keeping a club alive wearing their hearts on their sleeves. As a club and community we have to get behind the sides, both football and netball as belief and a positive attitude can really go a long way which in turn can install confidence to build on the potential these sides have. Watching the work rate and selfless efforts during the local clash showed some great glimmers of an unbeatable side. The backline really had its work cut out for them and should be commended for their ef-
forts put in. The midfield pushed to try turn the game around time and time again, with Alexandra this time one step ahead. Get behind this club, and Matty Herridge’s crew in the blue and white. Thornton 3.2 (20) def by Alexandra 28. 19 (187) Stand out performers: J. Scotland, W. Cody, B. Davis, T. Carpenter, B. Azzopardi but the whole side really put in this weekend. ★ Thornton Eildon Football and Netball Club would whole heartedly like to thank its sponsors for its support during the 2018 season. Its players, trainers, coaches, support crew and all volunteers for their dedication and support for Round 15. Moving forwards, training continues this week in these wintry conditions Tuesdays and Thursdays. Feel free to contact the Club via social media or Club president Dave Stirling. This week will see the Thornton Women heading to Yea for a joint training session with the under 16’s girls side. Linking in with common goal and minded groups is essential to build both sides into the future and we thank collectively as a club, for the opportunity and the hospitality of Yea Football Club. Round 16 will see Thornton travel to Yarra Junction on Saturday for both netball and football. The Thornton Women’s side travel to Toromore Reserve with hopes of a second win against Boronia starting at 12.30pm. Best of luck to all sides. Go Boners. - Sarah Stevenson

THORNTON-EILDON FOOTBALL-NETBALL CLUB REPORT The TEFNC was a buzz last weekend, with thanks welcomed its players and supporters to their home ground for round 15 ‘White Ribbon Round’. Each player donned a white armband in recognition to raising awareness in our community to provide safe and inclusive environments, sadly too many women in particular are effected by domestic violence and lose their lives senselessly. Our league is putting workable measures in place at ground level over three years to support and encourage the change that is desperately needed. To highlight TEDFNC really puts into importance we are one club, men supporting both netball players and the level of respect, consideration and welcoming of our women’s football team is outstanding this year. It is something to be proud of especially moving forwards consolidating our club successfully. UNDER 18 Round 15 saw Alexandra 18’s start the day at Thornton versing Wandin. Both sides had a tightly contested game with both sides sitting equal seventh on the ladder. Alexandra was able to seal the win late in the last quarter. It is fantastic to see the young local side coming out for the win playing at Thornton footy ground. NETBALL The Thornton netballers took on the Alexandra Netball Club in the midst of drizzling rain and wet conditions, making play slow and less controlled. Alexandra defence was tough on our attack-
EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT
The East Central District RifleAssociation shoot this week was in two parts a Wednesday practice and tuning meeting and the combination Goulburn Valley Prize Shoot and Karramomus Picnic Shoot on Saturday and Sunday. The highlight of the week's shooting was the win by Graeme Kerr in the F T/R class at the Karramomus picnic shoot and second in the GVDRA Prize shoot. Terry Gee shooting F Open Class joined Graeme at the Picnic shoot which was 15 shot shoots over 400 and 500 yards Giving a total score of 180 .30 points Graeme shot a brilliant 177.12 points. After the shoot Graeme said it was not a day for cutting sixes in favour of the possibility of an extra 0.1, the light conditions were good but the fishtailing wind from behind proved to be a real challenge. Graeme's scores were 88.5 (1st) 89.7 (1st) = 177.12 (1st). Terry shooting F Open found the conditions very hard and his scores were 82.2(11th) 86.6 (9th) = 168.8 (12th). The ECDRA shooters were not so successful on Saturday with Graeme Kerr top scoring with a second overall in F T/R class. The match was three 10-shot shoots over 500 yards for a total of 180.30 points. Again the conditions played a big part in the match with only two of the 67 shooters posting maximum scores in F class shooting and one maximum in Target Rifle. It would seem that Karramomus has a fickle wind just like Violet Town and it was very hard to pick. The hard luck story of the day was that of David Wallace who on the first stage put a shot on the wrong target costing six points and then he went on to not drop a shot for the rest of the day. The shot on the wrong target was the maximum 6 points. Clearly David is in very good form and is set of a number 1 A grade badge in F standard class very soon.

LOCAL SPORT PICTORIAL
EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT Continued From Page 71 The ECDRA shooters scores for the day were (numbers in brackets shot the place for each range and the aggregate): F Target Rifle Graeme Kerr 60/8 , 59/6 , 59/8.= 178.22 (2), F Open Terry Gee 59/5 , 59/5 , 59/6 = 177.16 (10), F Standard A Dave Wallace 54/6 , 60/5 , 60/6 =174.17 (10) and F Standard B Brian Houlihan 55/1 , 57/4 , 59/5, 171.10(8) Wednesday’s shoot was focused on serious practice and sorting out old ammunition. Shooting commenced at 300 yards then the shooters moved back to 500. The conditions were good with that fickle wind testing shooters all the time, frustrating but that is what is needed for practice. The results from Wednesday's shoot were: Dist. 300y F-Std 1 Richard Godden 50.3, 59.2 =111.5, 2 Brian Houlihan 50, 49 = 99., 3 Ross Davis 58.4, F-Open 1 Terry Gee 53.8, 59.5 =112.13 F-TR 1 Marty Kelly 57.5 59.8, 30.2 =146.15; Dist. 500y T-Rifle 1 Peter Daldy 50.4, 47.4, 49.3, 47.2 = 193.13, F-Std 1 Geoff James 35, 32 = 67.0 2 Tom Green 59.6, 3 Ross Davis 55.1, F-Open 1 Terry Gee 58.5, 57.2 = 115.7 and F-TR 1 Marty Kelly 56.7, 56.4 = 142.11. A special welcome to visitor Tom Green and with a 59.6 proved to be quite a handy shot. Richard Godden's 59.2 is one of his top scores, well done Richard. The practice would prove invaluable for the shoots the following Saturday and Sunday while the practice at reading the conditions will pay off next week when the first round of the long range Chas Hayes Pennant is contested at the Katandra Range starting at 12 Noon or earlier if shooters are ready. This will be the first time that the Chas Hayes will be shot at Katandra on electronic targets it should be fun to see how the shooters apply themselves over 800 and 900 yards on this open range. There will be no shooting at Violet Town next Saturday shooters are reminded to check the calendar on the website for details of other shoots including Wednesday shoots. - Robert Chaffe

YEA GOLF CLUB REPORT
Twelve players ventured onto Yea Golf Course on Saturday (Aug. 4) for the weekly competition in cold conditions and on a heavy course soaked by overnight rain. This week's event was the first round in a three-round stableford event that will be completed over the coming weeks. The heavy conditions got the better of the field; the winning score was just 29 stableford points by Martin Lowe, who won on countback from four other players. It was Lowe's second victory in three weeks, and the local GP has entered a tidy run of form heading into August's busy schedule. On Wednesday August 1, a traditional stableford event was held on a day where the sun did its best to come out of hiding. The winning man was Jeff Aurisch, who has recently returned to the links after lay-off due to a neck injury. He returned a handy score of 36 points to take the day's honours over perennial contender Michael Spagnolo, who returned a card worth 35 points. The golf continues with a three-person stableford event scheduled for Wednesday, and the second round of a 54-hole stableford event on Saturday. - Jonathan Fisher ● The Local Paper is eager to print your organisation’s sports news and results.

Property depreciation services Just Depreciation is always going the extra mile to help all our clients whenever we can. We have decided to answer some of our frequently asked questions to help give you some advice and get a better understanding of our services to save you time and money. If, for any reason, there are still questions you would like to ask us about our property depreciation services then don’t hesitate to call our friendly team who would be only too happy to help. My property is old is it worthwhile getting a report prepared? Yes, all properties regardless of age have some form of depreciation. The fixtures and fittings in the property must be valued at the date that you first make the property available for rental. Just Depreciation recommend reports for all residential properties no matter how old the building may be. I have owned the property for a number of years and not claimed any depreciation, have I missed out? No, we will start your report from the first date of rental and your accountant can apply to the Taxation Office to get previous returns adjusted. It’s never too late to claim any property depreciation. How long does the report last for? Our reports have 10 years of detailed information and enough detail for your accountant to expand on the individual items after this date so you won't have to arrange for a another report unless you carry out major renovations or improvements. Do you guarantee your report will be worthwhile? Yes of course, and we guarantee that if you do not receive a deduction that is twice the amount of our fee in the first year, then the report will be free. We believe this is the fairest and best possible outcome either way for our clients. What is the process? Do I have to make appointments? No, we make the appointments on your behalf via your rental manager and liaise with tenants for a suitable time for the property inspection so you need not worry about a thing. What happens at the inspection? We measure the property, take photos, take note of all depre ciable items and any capital building write off deductions that may apply and then return to the office to calculate and process the report.
