●●●●● Dr Katherine Rowe, Lead Plaintiff, with Brooke Dellavedova, Principal, Class
Actions, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, announce a settlement, 18 months ago
LARGEST READERSHIP OF ANY LOCAL NEWSPAPER IN MURRINDINDI SHIRE
Victims were told if they were dissatisfiedwith the amount, and if they wanted to disputethe amount, they needed to request a review bylast Friday (June 3).
Those wanting a review were required tolodge a bond of $800 with the Scheme Adminis-trator within 14 days of their request.
Unsuccessful“If your review is ultimately unsuccessful,
you will be responsible to pay the cost of thatreview fixed at $3000.”
The law firm, Maurice Blackburn, has comeunder fire after it was revealed in April by TheWeekend Australian that the lawyers have al-ready paid dividends of more than $16 millionto themselves as early as 2014.
Lump sums totalling $80 million are beingpaid to the law firm, as well as ongoing fees forthe management of the scheme to determinepayments to the victims, according to reporterHedley Thomas of The Weekend Australian.
Risk warningThe law firm has warned claimants that if
they seek a review of the assessment, they mightreceive a lesser payment.
“You should also be aware that there is a riskin requesting a review that the amount of thereview assessment is lower than the amount inthe current Notice of Assessment.
“The review assessment will be binding onyou, even if it is lower than the original assess-ment,” says a copy of the Maurice Blackburnletter to claimants, which has been viewed byThe Local Paper.
■■■■■ SEVEN YEARS and four months
have elapsed since the Black
Saturday fires on February 7,
2009, which claimed 173 lives.
Yet residents, who joined a
class action undertaken on their
behalf by Maurice Blackburn Law-
yers, say they are yet to have re-
ceived a cent.
Some Kinglake class action members
received a letter from the lawyers, say-
ing that their personal injury/dependancy
compensation had been assessed.
■ Maurice Blackburn Lawyers undertooktwo class actions after the Black Saturdaybushfires.
Of the Kilmore East-Kinglake BushfireClass Action, the law firm says:
“The bushfire resulted in 119 deaths, thedestruction of 1,242 homes, damage to a fur-ther 1,084 homes, and the burning of over125,000 hectares of land.
“On July 15, 2014, after a 16-month trialagainst SP AusNet and four other defendants,the plaintiffs and the defendants reached anagreement to settle the class action for arecord settlement of more than $494 milliondollars.
“On December 23, 2014 the SupremeCourt of Victoria approved the settlement ofthe Kilmore East - Kinglake Black Satur-day Bushfire Class Action and the proposedsettlement distribution scheme.
“It is the largest class action settlement inAustralian history.
“The settlement distribution is of unprec-edented scale and complexity. MauriceBlackburn is administering the settlementas quickly and efficiently as possible, includ-ing overseeing the assessment of the morethan 10,000 individual claims registered aspart of the class action.”
Of the Murrindindi-Marysville BushfireClass Action, Maurice Blackburn says:
“The action alleged that the fire started atthe rear of the Murrindindi Saw Mill,Wilhelmina Falls Road, Murrindindi, andthat the cause of the fire was a break in apower line resulting from deficiencies in theconstruction and configuration of a powerpole.
“The fire spread rapidly, killing 40 people,destroying over 500 homes, and causing mil-lions of dollars of damage.
“The plaintiff alleged that the power util-ity company was negligent in, among otherthings, the construction and configuration ofthe power pole.
“On February 6, 2015, the parties an-nounced an in-principle agreement to settlethe class action for the sum of $300 milliondollars without admission of liability.
“This settlement was reached before thetrial, originally due to start on February 4,2015, commenced.
The settlement was approved on May 27,2015 by Justice Emerton of the SupremeCourt.
“Now that the settlement and the proposedsettlement distribution scheme have beenapproved, Maurice Blackburn will com-mence administering the settlement, includ-ing overseeing the assessment of the largenumber of claims registered as part of theclass action.”
Residents askedto pay $800 bond
if they want review.If they lose, theymust pay $3000
to law firm.
●●●●● Ashley Geelan, Kinglake bushfire
survivor: awaits settlement payment
‘We fight for ourselves’COMMENT
by bushfire victim Ashley Geelan
■ Black Saturday victims still wait - manydesperatsly- whilst claim assesments still con-tinue.
Meanwhile law firm partners collect lucra-tive dividend payments from the $494 milllionsettlement payment.
It is now more than seven years since BlackSaturday occurred and lawyers seem able topay themselves from dividends, whilst actualvictims await payment.
It appears that Maurice Blackburn has plentyof time to administer dividend payments tothemselves,whilst delays continue for thoseclaiming compensation.
Whilst Maurice Blackburn's senior partnershave paid themselves a dividend, not one classaction participant, with many now suffering ex-treme financial hardship, has been paid a cent.
Reporter Hedley Thomas of The WeekendAustralian reported on April 9 that "the richestdividend stream in Maurice Blackburn's his-tory begun to flow to the firm's equity-owningsenior partners".
Meanwhile, those that actual victims whosuffered through Black Saturday still wait fortheir dividend.
As Australia's biggest class action settlementat $494 million, Maurice Blackburn must haveknown, or at least some idea of how compli-cated paying claimants would be.
They didn't realise the complexity of this?The response from Maurice Blackburn wasthat "we didn't realise the complexity of this is-sue." It leave smany claimants asking howcouldn't know the complexity of a case of which
they fought? Making matter matters worse isthe need for those who object to their claimassesements must pay an extra $800 bond that"must be lodged with the Scheme Adminstrator."
This bond, should a claimant's review be "ul-timately unsuccessful you [the Black Saturdayclaimant] will be responsible to pay the cost ofthat review fixed at $3000."
According to Maurice Blackburn, thosepeople that have applied for interim paymentsand whose cases has been assesed are due tobe discussed "within a fortnight". Let's see whathappens by June 14.

■ A deputation - including Councillors EricLording and Chris Healy - will seek to visitVictorian Local Government Minister NatalieHutchins, with a call for greater transparencyand openness in Murrindindi Shire.
A protest rally of about 200-300 local resi-dents was held in miserable weather in Yea onFriday (June 3), with the gathering declaring thatthey have lost trust in Mayor Cr Margaret Raeand Chief Executive Officer Margaret Abbey.
The rally voted that they do not believe thatthe Council is communicating effectively orconsulting well with ratepayers.
Many Yea shops closed as a sign of solidaritywith residents, many of whom had travelled fromEildon, Alexandra, Taggerty, Thornton, King-lake, Flowerdale and Glenburn.
Master of Ceremonies was Sam D’Agostinoof Kinglake, with former Mayor Lyn Gunter ofFlowerdale at the microphone.
Only one politician was in attendance. Lib-eral candidate for Indi, Sophie Mirabella, spokewith local residents. Apologies were sent byFederal MHR Cathy McGowan (Ind.) and Vic-torian MLA Cindy McLeish.
Murrindindi Shire’s Cr John Walsh sent amessage: “I shall not be attending. I am totallyagainst the objectives of the rally and I wouldnot want my attendance to be misconstrued asrepresenting any level of support for those aims.”

Timber is still big employer in Murrindindi
■ Off the beaten track in Murrin-dindi, where noisy politicians andCouncil officials fail to appear, oneof the Shire’s biggest employers isgoing about its business.
Dindi Mill is the business oper-ated by Robin and Sue McKinnellfor the past seven years. They startedtheir eighth year last Wednesday(June 1).
Dindi Mill has 16 employees. In-directly, it provides employment foran additional 16 people.
Apart from the Shire Council, andcompanies like Yenckens, Fallonsand Reddrops, Dindi Mill would beone of the larger employers in themunicipality.
Dindi Mill is a hardwood timbermill located on Myles Rd, Murrin-dindi, on land once owned by theCreed family.
The McKinnells took over an ex-ceptionally small sawmill that wasclosed. It employed four people, andthe mill’s equipment compised onebreakdown area, one bench, no dock-ing station and a power saw to cuttimber to length.
“To keep the place running it ranoff a single small generator. The millalso had no form of machinery suchas a wheel loader to move heavy tim-ber,” says Robin, 65.
Robin has more than 51 years’experience in the timber industry,starting in Club Terrace in EastGippsland in a sawmill, and also inHealesville and Narbethong in saw-mills.
He has a passion for the timberindustry, and is conscientious aboutregrowth in forests, and the need tobe careful in the use of the resources.
Robin McKinnell has worked inthe bush as a tree feller, and laterbecame a harvesting contractor, ahaulage contractor, and finally a sawmiller.
When Robin and Sue bought theMurrindindi enterprise, it had noallocation of logs.
The mill now has an investmentof $3 million. It employs 16 people(both men and women), and fourcasuals, consisting of one breakingdown area, four benches, four dock-ing stations and two green chains.
“With a lot more timber goingthrough the mill, machinery is amust,” Robin and Sue say. There arenow two wheel loaders, a forklift andan excavator to shift timber.
Dindi Sawmill has two deliverytrucks, one taught liner, to delivervalue-added timber all over Victoria,as well as Canberra. A tray truckservices the local area and Mel-bourne.
A semi-tipper carts mill ends toBenalla, to be value-added for vari-ous uses including products to manu-facture kitchens and bathrooms.
Robin says: “With the scale ofthe mill now quite large, an alloca-tion of logs was a must.
“Timber harvesting bush crewswork together with Vic Forests tosupply logs of Mountain Ash andMessmate with a volume of 8000cubic metres, with an additional op-tion of 2000 cubic metres of E2-gradetimber if required,” Robin says.
An additional eight jobs are cre-ated to produce and cart that volume.
A mixture of timber grades are
brought in. B-grade timber is onlyused for high quality boards, beingfor flooring boards, wall panelling,architraves and skirting boards, Sueexplains.
C-grade is standard grade, andused for feature-grade boards. D-grade is for posts on AMCO railing,large road signs on the freeways,fence rails, posts, palings and roofbattens.
E2-grade is for pallets, tomatostakes, surveyors’ pegs, buildingpegs.
Sawdust goes to horse arenas andcattle sheds. The edgings that are leftafter as many value-added productsgo out, are sent to a company thatgrind the remainder into small chips,used for smoking meats and otherfoods.
Robin and Sue say that securing10,000 metres of saw log to 2026gives long-time security for the fu-ture to the mill and its employees.
“Ten thousand metres of sawlogequates to 35,000 metres for a bushcrew to harvest a year,” says Robin.
“This in turn emplys five people,and adds an investment of $2.1 mil-lion.
“To then cart the timber, it em-ploys another three people, and addsan investment of $1.35 million.

●●●●● A photo of the road between Glenburn and Yarra Glen
taken in 1927. Photo: Yea and District Historical Society
■ Local history buff Alan Thorley, an enthusiastic member of the Yeaand District Historical Society, found this photo of road users betweenGlenburn and Yarra Glen in March 1927.
The original route, as we remember, was through Gordon’s Bridge,Mount Slide and Steel’s Creek.
It led to us questioning when the re-aligned road through Castellabecame known as the Melba Hwy. We are guessing at about 1968?Can some of the local ‘oldies’ recall?
Yea local, Graeme Clements, had a good recollection: “Ash, I canremember as a little tacker going to Melbourne with my Mum on the‘Service Bus’ and travelling over the old Slide Road. There was a busstop at the Slide Servo or Cafe or whatever it was called in those days.
“Shocking trip on a bending road with stinking fumes from the oldbus and I would be sick as a dog from that trip,” Graeme said.
Janene Nicholson recalled that her uncle Clarrie Borrie drove thebus. Graeme Clements replied: "He sure did and I remember him wellas a super nice guy and a good driver."
When did the Yea-Yarra Glenroute become Melba Hwy?

Ignore at your peril
■ Friday’s rally in Yea attracted 200-300people from across the Murrindindi Shire,including Ray Goss of the Taggerty Store.
It would be a foolish politican or a dim-witted administrator who would ignore thegroundswell of discontent amongst residentsacross the Murrindindi municipality.
To her credit, Local Government MinisterNatalie Hutchins, sent an apology to Friday’srally. So did local MLA, Cindy McLeish. (Shehad good reason. Her father CampbellMcLeish died over the weekend, at the age of91, at Rosebank Extended Care Centre inYea. Our condolences.)
Murrindindi Shire Council has a seriouspublic relations crisis. It is talking AT the localpopulation, rather than WITH local people.
Mayor Cr Margaret Rae’s interview with774 ABC Drive host Raf Epstein was a trainwreck. We reproduce the verbatim transcriptof the interview on Page 12: you be the judge.
In our opinion, Cr Rae failed to sell hermessage. The words she used may have hadsome foundation, but she was unclear andmuddled.
Only one Councillor , Eric Lording, at-tended Friday’s rally. Cr Chris Healy sent anapology. Cr John Walsh sent an insult: hesaid he prefers one-on-one consultation. If hekeeps up that type of performance, after theOctober election, more likely he might be hav-ing one-on-none consultation.
The Local Paper hears that he is likely tohave competition at the October poll from one,maybe two, locals, who are taking it person-ally in the Koriella Ward.
Meanwhile, Cr Walsh’s wife, RobynWalsh, an unsuccessful Council nominee forthe Eildon Ward at the last by-election, isbecoming increasingly loud in her letter-writ-ing campaign to the Council-subsidisedAlexandra Standard and Yea Chronicle.
Lately, Ms Walsh is signing herself as theSecretary of the Murrindindi Branch of theAustralian Labor Party.
Murrindindi Shire Council is neglectingits communication with residents, particularlythose living in the western half of the munici-pality.
We declare our self-interest. We have bud-geted on never receiving a single cent ofCouncil’s advertising.
Council administrators object to The Lo-cal Paper because it is critical of their per-formance. We are holding their proficiency(or otherwise) up to public scrutiny. That’s ourjob. Local government is not the place for thenervy or thin-skinned.
Well done to Cr Eric Lording for havingthe courage to attend Friday’s rally, and forengaging with the people he serves. He wasinvolved in many conversations. He listened.
It is a shame that all the other MurrindindiCouncil’s elected (and well-paid) represen-tatives, and the appointed (and extremely well-paid) administrators made the deliberate de-cision to not be present to listen to the rate-payers.
Isn’t that EXACTLY what they are paid todo?

Pages From The PastLetters to the EditorIntentional floods
Sir,This is a copy of a letter sent to Lisa Neville,
State Minister for Water:Goulburn River Constraints
and MitigationThe repeated use by the Murray Darling
Basin Authority in public documents of theexpression 'mitigation' to describe the pay-ment of compensation for damage incurredby intentional flooding, and the acquisition ofeasements, is at best irrelevant and at worstmisleading and deceptive.
It is clear from the man-made environ-mental flood flows as proposed in theGoulburn Constraints Business Case thatprivate property will be intentionally floodedby the government agencies concerned (thatis, the Goulburn Broken Catchment Man-agement Authority (GBCMA), Goulburn-Murray Water, the Victorian Environmen-tal Water Holder and the CommonwealthEnvironmental Water Holder.
The Goulburn Constraints BusinessCase also clearly indicates that these govern-ment agencies are, or ought to be, aware ofthe certainty that private landowners will suf-fer significant damage as a direct conse-quence of these man-made environmentalflood flows.
It is also very clear from the many docu-ments produced or commissioned by theMurray Darling Basin Authority, the Depart-ment Environment, Water, Land and Plan-ning, GBCMA and others that this floodingwill cause such significant damage that theFederal Government will need to providefunding to compensate landowners for the nu-merous adverse impacts.
Accordingly, not only is the probability ofdamage to private landowners clear, but thegovernment agencies concerned have in ef-fect acknowledged their liability.
If the government agencies concernedchoose to use the expression 'mitigation' todescribe in internal documents and discus-sions what steps they might take to reducethe amount and types of damages for whichthey may ultimately be found liable, well andgood.
As far as private landowners are con-cerned, however, steps such as negotiationof the acquisition of easements and financialcompensation will do nothing to make lessharmful the adverse impacts of flooding inperpetuity.
Nor will those steps do anything to allevi-ate or minimize the frequency, duration orseverity of the proposed intentional flooding.
Accordingly, any concept of mitigation isentirely irrelevant from the perspective andposition of affected private landowners.
All that is relevant to affected landownersis the actual damage they suffer each andevery time as a consequence of deliberateflooding of their land.
Moreover, it would be misleading and de-ceptive to present any mitigation plan to af-fected landowners as a complete panaceafor the damage they will suffer.
The landowners represented by the Up-per Goulburn River Catchment Associationreserve all rights to seek compensation forwhatever physical damage, economic lossand emotional distress they suffer as a con-sequence of each and every deliberate flood-ing of their properties by the government agen-cies concerned.
- Jan Beer,
Representative of the Upper Goul-
burn River Catchment Association

Media black hole■ Murrindindi Shire Council is refusing torelease further details of any media cover-age it is using to reach people in Yea, Glen-burn, Flowerdale, Strath Creek and Flower-dale.
The Local Paper asked: “Could Councilplease advise how many residents it believesit reaches through its weekly press advertise-ments in each of (the areas), and provide theevidence to support the numbers.”
The Council referred us to a statement itmade on March 19, which does not answerthe question:
“Council has an obligation to provide com-munications through multiple media outletswith the broadest possible reach across theShire,” said Jacqui Rabel, Manager Com-munications, Library and Customer Services
“Clearly, Council is constrained to somedegree by the small number of media outlets,limited distribution points and less frequentpublication cycles of papers in different partsof the Shire, and this is particularly true in thewestern part of the Shire.
“Advertising public notices in the NorthCentral Review is an attempt to address thisfor those Murrindindi Shire residents whotransit through and shop in the areas that dis-tribute that paper.
“Council doesn’t have anything further toadd in relation to your supplementary ques-tions.”■ Local Paper Editor replies: The LocalPaper is the only newspaper to have homedelivery in Yea, Kinglake, Glenburn,Flowerdale, Murrindindi-Limestone, Home-wood and Ghin Ghin. We are the only weeklynewspaper circulating in Strath Creek.Murrindindi Council has never placed asingle paid advertisement in The Local Pa-per.

Average response times were 21:30, com-pared to previous quarters of 22:52, 22;52;23.26 and 20:53.
Total number of first response calls were225, 247, 198, 208 and 221, per quarter, re-spectively.

How CEO got the job■ How did Margaret Abbey, asa department manager at Nillum-bik Shire, win the job as CEO ofMurrindindi Shire in 2010 afterthe Black Saturday fires?
Was it a behind-closed-doorsdeal between the Brumby LaborState Government, which pickedup some of the then-$280,000annual package, and Murrin-dindi Shire Council?
Not so, says the Shire.’The appointment was made by
“due process”.“We are not aware of any ex-
ternal influences on that processbeyond the need to apply the meritprinciple in selecting the best can-didate for the role,” a Shirespokeswoman said. ●●●●● Margaret Abbey

“Police and Council’s Ranger followed thedogs back to their home and the owner wascontacted. Both dogs were surrendered andeuthanised.”
Salary comparison■ The Murrindindi Shire-subsidised news-papers, The Yea Chronicle and AlexandraStandard, last week published a report whichappeared to seek to justify the $248,000 sal-ary of Council CEO Margaret Abbey, withcomparisons to the packages received byCEOs at Yarra Ranges ($376,000) andNillumbik ($300,000).
The Yarra Ranges CEO is paid 1.51 timesmore than Ms Abbey. Population of YarraRanges is Yarra Ranges is 150,939 (11 timesthat of Murrindindi). Recurrent expenditurein Yarra Ranges is is $160.68 million (5.35times that of Murrindindi’s $30.03 million).
The Nillumbik CEO is paid 1.21 timesmore than Ms Abbey. Population ofMurrindindi is 13,713; and Nillumbik is76,723 (5.59 times that of Murrindindi).
Recurrent expenditure of Murrindindi is$30.03 million; Nillumbik is $76.723 million(2.55 times). There can be no comparison.
Cost for election■ Whittlesea City Council has authorise itsChief Executive Michael Wootton to enterinto an agreement with the Victorian Elec-toral Commission for the provision of elec-toral services to Council for the four yearscommencing on July 1, 2016, and ending June30, 2020 for an estimated cost of $637,089
During that time the VEC will deliver elec-tion services for the October 22 Council Elec-tion and any related electoral services.
This agreement also requires the VEC tocarry out compulsory voting enforcement atthe 2016 Council elections. It is now a legis-lative requirement for the VEC to prosecutenonvoters who do not satisfactorily respondduring the enforcement process.
Council will have no involvement inwhether legal proceedings are commencedagainst non-voters.

Pride goes before
destruction, and
a haughty spirit
before a fall
The ‘Old Book’ tells us “pride goes
before destruction, and a haughty
spirit before a fall”.
The author, probably King
Solomon, might having been talking
about the Murrindindi Shire Coun-
cil.
There is an increasing sense of
crisis at the Council, and it is show-
ing in the rattled replies to media
questions each week.
Last week, Murrindindi Shire
CEO Margaret Abbey accused The
Local Paper of not understanding its
budget papers, and she stated that
we should have asked for assistance.
● So we followed Ms Abbey’s advice
and asked about the Council’s pro-
jected deficit for the financial year,
which ends at the end of this month.
“Please quantify the projected
surplus/loss that the Council ex-
pects to deliver for the year ending
June 30, 2016,” we asked.
“Please just provide a simple,
single figure. You have accused The
Local Paper of not being able to un-
derstand financial papers, and you
have urged us to seek your assis-
tance.
“So, please, a simple figure - in 10
words or less - that anyone can un-
derstand.”
Instead of providing a helpful an-
swer to ratepayers, Ms Abbey and/
or her officers replied with: “Please
see Council's media release
'Council's Budget position continues
to improve' dated May 27, 2016.”
The press release does not include
the clear answer we seek.
● Council claims to be widely con-
sulting the community. So we asked
what reach that the Council believes
it is getting through its existing me-
dia in Yea, Strath Creek, Flowerdale,
Glenburn and Kinglake.
We asked for the current statistics
it has on the readership of the Yea
Chronicle, its newspaper of choice.
The Local Paper believes The Yea
Chronicle sells about 300 copies in
Yea, less than a dozen at Flowerdale,
even less at Glenburn, none at King-
lake, and none at Strath Creek.
Its last audit was just 637 copies.
Instead of providing a helpful an-
swer to ratepayers, Ms Abbey and/
or her officers replied with: “Please
refer to our responses to your inquir-
ies dated March 18, 2016.”
The press release does not in-
clude the clear answer we seek.
● Last week, Murrindindi Shire
Council sought to defend the CEO’s
salary of $248,000 in a story in the
Council -subsidised newspapers,
The Yea Chronicle and the Alex-
andra Standard.
Mayor Cr Margaret Rae sought to
do the same on ABC 774.
We asked how comparisons could
be valid for Yarra Ranges and
Nillumbik CEOs.
Instead of providing a helpful an-
swer to ratepayers, Ms Abbey and/
or her officers replied with: “Coun-
cil population and expenditure fig-
ures are publicly available informa-
tion which do not require a response
from Council . We do not propose to
comment on Council’s opinion on
your question regarding the valid-
ity of comparing CEO remuneration
packages.”
The arrogance is breathtaking.

Criticisms of ShireCEO Abbey widen

Cr Margaret Rae and CEO Margaret Abbey
■ Murrindindi Council criticLyn Gunter told Friday’s pub-lic rally that she had been toldthat Shire Chief Executive Of-ficer Margaret Abbey livedoutside of the municipality forsome of the week.
Mrs Gunter told the rallythat she had been advised thatthe municipality’s boss lived ina local unit up to five nights aweek, but was elsewhere onthe other days.
In written comments to TheLocal Paper this year, Ms Ab-bey has categorically deniedthis.
Mrs Gunter went on ABCRadio last week to criticise MsAbbey’s 10 per cent pay rise,taking her package to $248,000.
Under questioning by Driveprogram host Raf Epstein,Mayor Cr Margaret Rae ac-knowledged the pay increase:
“If you look at it as a one-off moment in time position,yes, it is true,” Cr Rae said.
Last month, The Local Pa-per asked about Ms Rae’scommunity involvement inMurrindindi Shire life.
“To which community ser-vice organisations within theShire of Murrindindi does theShire CEO, Margaret Abbey,hold membership?”
Murrindindi Shire Coun-cil responded: “Presently Mar-garet Abbey is a member ofthe Dame Pattie Menzies Cen-tre Inc.
“Ms Abbey has and contin-ues to support a number ofcommunity organisations in theShire through various meanssuch as attendance at meetingsand functions, fundraising, do-nations and memberships.”
Mayor confirms pay riseRafael Epstein: Is that right about the CEO getting a 10 per
cent rise?Margaret Rae: If you look at it as a one-off moment in time
position, yes, it is true.But, you have to look at the whole remuneration package
in the context of the package and to see how that plans outover time.
Certainly, the CEOs --Rafael Epstein: Sorry. What do you mean by that?Margaret Rae: Well, the CEO's remuneration over a pe-
riod of time has not been 10 per cent per annum. If youwork it out over a period of years, it works out to a much lowerpercentage.
And her total remuneration package still remains well be-low her median and the average when compared andbenchmarked against other small rural shires.
Rafael Epstein: But, she's recently been told ‘you'll get 10per centover a number of years’. Is that right?
Margaret Rae: That's the contractual arrangement for thisnew contract, yes.

In Our SchoolsMayor’s ColumnCr Margaret Rae
■ The long awaited decision by the Essen-tial Services Commission was released onMay 31, 2016 in response to applications bynine councils for a variation to the rate capdetermined by the Victorian Government.
The first time this process has been expe-rienced by Victorian councils, there was nec-essarily much that was unknown and a greatdeal of work to be done in order to participatefully.
The timeframe was very short for the firstyear of introduction which consequently re-duced the scope of what could be covered infull; however, essentially in Murrindindi wewere very well prepared and submitted a de-tailed application.
Of the nine councils, three were refused,two were fully approved, three were approvedbut qualified, and one was partially approved,which was Murrindindi.
Whilst we had applied for an increase of5.4 per cent, the advice that a rate increase of4.3 per cent for the 2016-2017 financial yearhas been approved was nevertheless a goodresult.
This comprises the 2.5 per cent allowedunder the cap plus an additional 1.8 per centto cover the contribution to the infrastructurerenewal reserve.
The ESC did not approve an additional in-crease of 1.1 per cent to support service lev-els.
This latter decision was understandablyaffected by the minimal amount of consulta-tion that was able to be undertaken in the verylimited timeframe allowed by the ESC fol-lowing the announcement by the Minister forLocal Government on December 22, 2015of a 2.5 per cent rate cap, together withCouncil's determination not to cut serviceswithout the support of the community.
However the consequence of this part ofthe decision is that $170,000 now does haveto be cut from the 2016-2017 budget.
Council will achieve this by using a shortterm approach which will not affect servicedelivery in the coming year.
However this shortfall, together with what-ever arises from future effects of rate cap-ping, will have to be dealt with by identifyinglong term permanent savings.
This will need to be done in consultationwith the community to identify services thatmay be considered excess to requirements.
Alternatively, the community may chooseto identify services which might be fundedthrough additional rates above the rate cap.
This will be a key initiative for the comingyear and for the next Council .
It is pleasing to see the ESC fully endorsethe approach taken by Council to build theinfrastructure reserve in order to try to dealwith the additional assets gifted to us follow-ing the 2009 fires.
The detailed work carried out by us to iden-tify the operating, maintenance and renewalcosts associated with these and to project therenewal costs well into the future has beenrigorous and was well recognised in the ESC'sreport, which said "we consider thatMurrindindi's approach to allocate funds toan infrastructure renewal reserve progres-sively over time would allow Murrindindi toresponsibly address future renewal expendi-ture without rate shocks" and that "the infra-structure renewal component relates to a longterm need that is consistent with Council'sLong-term Financial Plan".
We have always welcomed the opportu-nity to have our financial situation and longterm projections reviewed by an independentbody and this has been carried out by repre-sentatives of the State Government and oth-ers over recent times.
Validation by the ESC as a totally inde-pendent arbiter provides reassurance to ourcommunity that Council's financial manage-ment is both responsible and robust, that ourapproach in making provisions through an in-frastructure reserve is both needed and prac-tical, and that prudent initiatives are in placeas we consider other options that might beavailable as we go forward.
For those who are interested to read theESC's determination in detail, it can be foundon their website at http://www.esc.vic.gov.au/local-government/projects/current-projects/together with the decisions on other submit-ting councils' applications and all supportingdocuments.

■ Yea High School partnering with Timeand Space facilitator, Bill Jennings, to ad-dress the often perplexing and complex issueof assisting young people to map out a path-way to their future.
Two evening events will be held,:■ Monday, June 20 at Middle Kinglake Pri-mary School, and■ Wednesday, June 22 at Yea High School.Both events will run from 7:00pm to 8:45pm.
This activity utilises 'Time and Space' tech-niques and also draws on Department of Edu-cation 'Engaging Parents in Careers Con-versations' (EPICC) materials.
In doing so, it brings together students, par-ents and mentors along with guest speakerStan Alves to consider vocational pathwaysissues.
Please note the term 'parent' is broadlyused to refer to any 'caring' adult or influen-tial community member in a young person'slife.
In this context, 'parent' is not limited to bio-logical parents, and is intended to refer to anyadult wishing to play a positive role in helpinga young person build their future.
Evidence indicates that parents are thesingle greatest influence on their child's edu-cation and career decisions.
The Face-to-Face report produced in 2010by the National Youth Agency in Englandidentified parents and carers as the most com-mon first point of call for career developmentinformation, advice and guidance for youngpeople.
Other research similarly points to the im-portant role of parents in the career develop-ment of their children, especially in the earlystages of their education.
Generally, parental engagement in careerdevelopment occurs around subject andcourse selections and at crunch times in thelater years of education, with a focus on in-formation provision.
Given the rapid changes in the world ofwork through globalisation and technology thisis no longer sufficient.
There is also mounting evidence that linksimproved student motivation, retention,achievement and career outcomes with pa-rental involvement in young people's learn-ing.
Career development now needs to focusnot on job acquisition, but on the acquisitionof skills, knowledge, attitudes, behaviours andcompetencies for continuous learning andimprovement.
The role of parents cannot be underesti-mated and is vital in supporting the careerdevelopment of young people.
It is anticipated that the Time and Spacefor Vocational Pathways program will:■ assist parents and young people to under-stand the career journey from an early stageand to assist them to be more proactive onthis journey,■ equip parents to help young people to de-velop and build their preferred career futures,feel less worried about the future and build asupportive network to assist them on their jour-ney;■ help parents to engage in career conver-sations that go beyond the typical 'What doyou want to do when you finish school?' ap-proach; and■ enable young people to make more in-formed decisions about career pathways andoptions.

Jon Faine: Sorry? The CEO gota 10 per cent pay rise?
Lyn Gunter: Yes, she did.Rafael Epstein: Margaret Rae is
the current mayor. That was LynGunter, the former mayor.
Margaret Rae is the currentmayor of Murrindindi Shire council.Thanks for having a word to us.
Margaret Rae: Oh, thank you,Rafael.
Rafael Epstein: Is that right aboutthe CEO getting a 10 per cent rise?
Margaret Rae: If you look at it asa one-off moment in time position,yes, it is true.
But, you have to look at the wholeremuneration package in the contextof the package and to see how thatplans out over time.
Certainly, the CEOs --Rafael Epstein: Sorry. What do
you mean by that?Margaret Rae: Well, the CEO's
remuneration over a period of timehas not been 10 per cent per annum.
If you work it out over a period ofyears, it works out to a much lowerpercentage.
And her total remuneration pack-age still remains well below hermedian and the average when com-pared and benchmarked againstother small rural shires.
Rafael Epstein: But, she's re-cently been told ‘you'll get 10 percentover a number of years’. Is thatright?
Margaret Rae: That's the contrac-tual arrangement for this new con-tract, yes.
Rafael Epstein: I suppose that'sone concern. More significantly, per-haps, and there's a bit of campaignthat Sophie Mirabella is jumping onboard, but I didn't realise that all ofyour council area is within that seatof the end day that Cathy McGowannow holds Federally.
But, maybe, the bigger concern isthis: residents were told they'd get a6 per cent rate increase. It was actu-ally a 9.9 per centincrease.
Margaret Rae: Oh well, that justdemonstrates a misunderstanding ofthe figures. The increased appliedlast year and for previous years andCouncil held to it pledge in that, notto raise rates above 6 per cent, andthe rate increased to the general ratewas applied at 6 per cent.
If you look at the figures for theend of the year, yes, there was a 9.9per cent increase in the total rev-enue collected.
That total revenue includes thenormal rate base with the rate in-crease, but it also includes all of thesupplementary rates that come induring the year and other differencesthat it caused an extra amount to becollected.
So, to look at the figure of the to-tal rate revenue collected is a totallyseparate figure from the rate in-crease that was applied to the gen-eral rate at the beginning.
Rafael Epstein: I don't really un-derstand that. Maybe you can ex-plain. Are you saying that there is a9.9 per cent increase in rate revenueor is there revenue that comes fromother things like parking fines?
Margaret Rae: No, no, no, wedon't have that sort of thing. No, itwill be from general rate revenue,but if you think about the fact that,for instance, we are going through -- and all councils go through devel-opment throughout the year.
As those developments comeonline, they then start to contributeto the rate base.
They weren't there at the begin-ning of the year, but you might havea range of additional properties ofvarying values, which come onlineduring the year and starts contributerates.
That means that rate pool at theend of the year is simply demonstrat-ing the gross in the rate base. It doesnot --
Rafael: But, isn't there a problemif you say, "We're going to charge
everyone 6 per cent extra on theirrates," but then you make almost anextra of 10 per cent.
That means there's a whole lotsof valuations. There's a whole lot ofsmall fine print detail that allows youto get more than 6 per cent.
Margaret Rae: No, because that'sbuilt into the long-term StrategicPlans. You have to build in a grossfactor so the budget is developed onthe proposition and projection that ourrates will grow and need to grow, andif they don't keep growing, the im-pact on the existing rate pairs be-comes worse and not better.
Rafael Epstein: It does sound likeyou're using valuations to get a big-ger rate increase than you promised.
Margaret Rae: No, no. Councilsdo not benefit from the valuation orrevaluation process.
Councils only grow their rate baseby virtue of adding to the rate baseso that if you get new properties be-ing built, new development comingonline, new population moving in,and building in the municipality,whether it's a metropolitan munici-pality, or a small rural one.
That is what grows the rate base,and that's what helps to keep the ratecost down to all ratepayers.
Because, the more rateable prop-erties you have in any municipality,the more it spreads the cost acrosspeople, the more it mitigates the cost.
Rafael Epstein: So, what are yougoing to do? The shopkeepers in Yeaare all going to close their doors earlyon Friday at 4 o'clock. What are yougoing to do to -- I mean, they'reclearly unhappy. They clearly don'tagree with what you're telling me.
Margaret Rae: Well, what I thinkwhat we're talking about is a demo-cratic principle here. I think that itdoesn't matter which community youlook at, and we have a very diversecommunity over a very wide area of4000 square kilometres that peoplewill have different views about howthings has happened and why things
has happened.Rafael Epstein: Why is Yea a
flashpoint?Margaret Rae: That, I can't an-
swer you at the moment.Rafael Epstein: Well, there must
be some issue.Margaret Rae: I don't know why
that's in particular. It may be becausethere are things that always initiatefrom a particular point. It doesn'tmean to say it's replicated every-where, or it may be.
The point I'm trying to make isthat we're the democratic principle.
People have the right to expresstheir point of view in a peaceful man-ner. But, what I would also add tothat is that we're only a short distanceaway from council elections, andwhen people have that passion fortheir community, to have a commit-ment to their community, and theywant to put back into the community,then I would really encourage themto put their hand out and be councilsand nominate for council election.
I mean no criticism to anybodywhen I say, it is always easier to shoutfrom the sidelines, but I would loveto see --
Rafael Epstein: Do you thinkSophie Mirabellais shouting fromthe sidelines?
Margaret Rae: No, I'm not beingcritical. All I'm saying is --
Rafael Epstein : You could becritical.
Margaret Rae: -- if people comeon the inside and learn and commitand dedicate themselves to whatmanaging a Shire for the whole com-munity is about --
Rafael Epstein: You're welcometo make sharp criticism, but you aretalking about -- and the woman weheard from this morning, Lyn Gunter.I mean, she was a mayor, so she'sdone what you've done.
So, she knows what the inside ofcouncil looks like.
Margaret Rae: I understand that.But, she will be talking to, presum-
ably, and the whole group here willbe talking to each other.
I have talked to many people inthe Shire as well, and there are verymany people who understand theposition of the shire and what wewere going through and what is even-tuating.
In fact, at the moment, if peoplerefer to the decision that was broughtdown this week by the Essential Ser-vices Commission about our rate.
Our rate increase for the comingyear will be 4.3 per cent, and thatcontains a significant component togo towards our asset renewal fundor asset renewal reserve.
And our position on our financialconstraints has been completely vali-dated by the ESC in terms of ourfinancial responsibility in the way weare managing our assets, and I thinkthe community should take confi-dence from that decision to know thattheir affairs are being managed welland managed responsibly, and tohave an independent arbiter look atour figures, look at what we've done,and come down and make a writtendetermination that we are managingresponsibly into the future, and it isunfair to expect us to manage in thatway without that sort of support is, Ithink, a strong validation of the ap-proach we've taken.
We have been determined to tryand manage with that undue imposton people, and it's really hard whenrate increases happen.
No one is more conscious thanwe are, but we do have real finan-cial constraints in the Shire, and Iwould encourage all members of ourcommunity to engage with us andtalk about those issues and find solu-tions going forward.
Rafael Epstein: We will showhow it all turns out at the elections.Thank you for your time.
Margaret Rae: Thank you.Rafael Epstein: Margaret Rae is
the Mayor of Murrindindi ShireCouncil.

‘Hands off our CFA’: backdown reported■ The Herald Sun yesterday(Tues.) reported that Premier DanielAndrews was forced to backdownover his bid to restructure the Coun-try Fir Authority.
This follows Sunday’s rally atTreasury Gardens, Melbourne, andon the steps of Parliament House,attended by volunteer firefightersfrom north-east Victoria.
State MLA for Eildon, CindyMcLeish (Lib.), was amongst theprotesters.
“Premier Daniel Andrews hassurrendered after Emergency -Ser-vices Minister Jane Garrett stoodfirm over the pay deal that outragedvolunteer firefighters,” the HeraldSun reported.
“Ms Garrett told Mr Andrews incrisis talks that she would not signoff on the proposed deal, backed lastweek by the Fair Work Commis-sion.
“It is a significant embarrassmentfor Mr Andrews, who just days agostrongly supported the agreement butthen faced a backlash from 60,000CFA volunteers.
“The CFA board formally re-jected the EBA, saying it was un-lawful, undermined its volunteersand would have handed control ofthe fire services to the UnitedFirefighters Union.
“Ms Garrett then told the Pre-mier she would attend an afternoonCabinet meeting only if he agreednot to support Fair Work’s recom-mended EBA,” wrote JamesCampbell, Tom Minear and AlexWhite.
Ms Garrett issued a statement inwhich she said the State Govern-ment would review the pay deal, andthat it understood the concerns ofCFA volunteers.
She said “good progress has beenmade” but “further work” would bedone by the government on theclauses the CFA had refused.
“The government will continueto work on resolving outstanding is-sues with the EBA,” Ms Garrett said.
“The government will be lookingto finalise these matters in comingdays.”
The Herald Sun said: “MsGarrett told Mr Andrews she wouldnot sign off on the proposed deal.”
Mr Andrews was forced to comehome from the USA a day early aspressure grew on him to back downon the proposed deal.

40 attend forum
■ More than 40 community members at-tended the recent 'Climb the Ladder' GrantForum at the Yea Shire Hall on May 24.
The event followed on from the successof last year's 'Show me the Money' GrantForum held in May.
The free forum attracted communitymembers representing groups, committeesor associations from across the Shire lookingto polish their grant writing skills.
Participants heard from Bron Belcher ofcrowd funding platform Pozible who providedexperience on crowd funding as an alterna-tive to raising funds and to advance a project.
Tracey Hull, an expert grant writer andassessor then led the forum through two ses-sions encouraging grant applicants to be clearand concise in writing their grants, build rela-tionships with funders and to provide evi-dence of their project's benefits.
Murrindindi Shire’s Cr ChristineChallen attended the evening and saidorganisers had taken the time to develop theForum around feedback received last year.
"The Forum was a collaborative under-taking of the Kinglake Ranges Foundation,Marysville and Triangle Community Foun-dation, CEACA, the Kinglake RangesNeighbourhood House, Sam Hicks (FawcettHall) and Murrindindi Shire Council.
"The success of the Forum in its secondyear and the evident level of interest this hasgenerated in the community is credit to allthe organisers involved. We hope this willbecome an annual event",Cr Challen said .
Shire draft budget■ COMMENT: We have to wonder whetherthe Murrindindi Shire Council wants to at-tract residents to the Public Information Ses-sions on its 2016-17 draft budget ... or whetherthe Council would prefer small numbers ofthe public to question their figures?
In any other municipality, such sessionswould be widely advertised.
The Murrindindi Shire Council isorganising sessions, 7pm-9pm, on Thursday,July 7 (Kinglake Community Centre), andJuly 11 (‘Alexandra Town Hall’), accordingto a notice tucked away in the KinglakeMountain Monthly newsletter.
The Shire’s biggest-circulating localnewspaper (us) has received no notification... nor can we find any details on the Council’swebsite front-page.

■ Under 16. vs Tabilk.The rain stayed away for the game. Tabilk lenta hand with a few extra players to top us up;well done to them for giving 100 per cent for us,thank you.
The first quarter saw the boys strike first witha goal straight of the bat. This shocked and awedthe Yea boys but they finished the quarterstrongly.
In the second quarter the boys dug in andplayed as a team supporting each other andworking as one to allow them to stay in touch.
The third quarter saw a change of Tabilkplayers for us but they slotted in with the Yeaboys and kept helping us push forward to get afew more scores on the board to still be in touchat three-quarter time.
The fourth kicked off with the centre clear-ances going either way. The boys still had aspring in their step with the whole game beingthe best that they have played.
Another couple of goals pulled yea a little bitcloser to a win. The boys played with determi-nation not seen so far this season to only godown by 19 points.
Great job guys and thanks to Tabilk.- Shaun Harry
■ Under 14. Not available.■ Under 12. Yea travelled to Nagambie on Sun-day to play Tabilk. The sight of a blanket ofmud and water covering the oval immediatelyexcited our players.
Tabilk adjusted to the conditions quicker thanthe Tigers who were careless with their tack-ling. Reliable backman Dominik ‘The Domi-nator’ Ciantar handled the slippery conditionswith ease and kept Yea competitive.
¼ time: Yea 0.0 (0) to Tabilk 3.2 (20)Yea improved in the second quarter. Dominik
and the Rileys linked up to move the ball out ofdefence and Will Clarke was calm under pres-sure on the back flank. The Tigers restrictedTabilk to only one goal for the term, which wasa terrific effort.
½ time: Yea 0.0 (0) to Tabilk 4.4 (28)Lachie Donnelley and old mate Angus Shaw
stood out in the third quarter. Lachie was gettinginvolved all over the ground and Angus was bur-rowing into the packs. Hayden Marks movedinto defence and was solid at centre-half-back.
¾ time: Yea 0.2 (2) to Tabilk 4.6 (30)Yea made some changes at three quarter time
and looked dangerous in the final term finishingthe game full of running.
Toby Philpott looked as fresh as a daisy andkicked Yea's first goal early in the term. ReeceHargreaves kicked one of his own shortly after.
Great team effort boys in tough conditions.Final scores: Yea 2.6 (18) to Tabilk 5.9 (39)Goalkickers: Tobias Philpott and Reece

Awards: Dominik Ciantar, Lachie Donnelleyand Hayden Marks.■ Under 10. It was the wettest game day yet,that saw the young Tiger Cubs make their wayto Nagambie to play against a newly formedTabilk Under 10’s side.
The oval had nearly a good 10-20mm of watercovering the field of battle, but this wasn’t goingto put our enthusiastic team off, with most of theteam wet and muddy before the game gotstarted.
It was a great game, and a lot of skills wereon show from both teams, the Tiger cubs show-ing their coaches that they actually do listen attraining, and their ball work and clearances inthe wet, slippery conditions was fantastic.
Our backline held strong as Tabilk kept try-ing to kick into their forward line setup. It wasencouraging to look out on the field and find theplayers standing in their designated playing po-sitions. Well done team.
This week’s coaches award goes to: Will,Shania and Sam Charles. Great to see Will andShania back on the field after a short break fromthe game.

Tigers were Thunderstruck at YeaGrandstander
D-Grade Netball■ Yea hosted Yarra Glen on Saturday to fightfor top of the ladder, both teams undefeatedfor the season before the first whistle blew.
The game was a tight tussle to start withand the sides went goal for goal for the firstfew minutes.
It was Yarra Glen that broke free first,making the most of Yea's unforced errors andcapitalising on the scoreboard to lead 7-3 atquarter-time.
Yea gathered their thoughts at quarter time,made positional changes and then came outfiring, turning the game on its head.
They soon levelled the scores and gotahead, shooting 8 goals in a row whilst YarraGlen weren't given any opportunities to shootdue to the solid defence of Sarah Lobley andKim Slavin.
It was only late in the quarter that they shottheir only goal for the quarter to trail the Ti-gers by three at half-time.
The third quarter was a real tussle withboth sides making silly errors.
Only 5 goals were scored for the quarter,3 of them to YG to reduce the margin to just 2at the last change of ends.
In complete contrast to their third quarter,the Tigers were brilliant in the last quarter.
All seven girls on court dug deep andplayed their roles to perfection. Nic and Ali-cia O’Connor shot the house down and werewell fed from Jude Watts and Kak outsidethe ring.
Kim Slavin and Sarah Lobley deflected,intercepted and rebounded to keep Yarra Glengoalless for the quarter and were well as-sisted by Nadine Bourke at WD.
The Tigers ran out 9-goal winners, limit-ing the visitors to 11 goals for the game, withonly 4 after quarter time. This puts Yea clearleaders at the top of the ladder. Well donegirls.

Ten players braved the zero degree startto last Wednesday's Stableford event.
Neil Peterson, who has been runner-up oncountback a few times recently, emergedfrom the fog and won the event narrowly with33 creditable points from John Tanner 32points.
A huge thankyou to Ross Girdwood forhis work spraying the fairways (and rough)for capeweed.
Brutal Bulls■ Bundoora further pushed its claims for aSeptember spot with a bruising 29-point winover Eltham in dreary conditions at ElthamCentral Park.
It was an extremely dour contest up untilthe final change, with seven goals total kickedin the opening three terms.
However, a five goal-to-one final termproved critical, as the Bulls busted the gameopen to record a 9.9 (63) to 4.10 (34) victory.
Doubled score■ Kinglake 12.14 (86) doubled Powell-town’s score 6.7 (43) in AFL Yarra RangesDivision 2 competition on Saturday.

■ Yea battled hard but in the end was outclassedby top-of-the-table Yarra Glen, going down inslippery conditions by 43 points at the Recre-ation Reserve.
One week after a disappointing loss to Alex-andra, the Tigers were keen to make amendsand were off to the perfect start with the firstgoal of the game in less than a minute to AshleyHobbs.
The visitors lifted their intensity and hit backto take a 13-point buffer at the first change, be-fore a series of missed opportunities in front ofthe big sticks from Yea gifted the opposition afour-goal lead at the main break.
With the wet weather taking its toll, it wasalways going to be difficult for the Tigers to pegback the ladder leaders and Yarra Glen showedwhy they are undefeated this year to kill thecontest in the third quarter.
Brad Cunningham was outstanding for thethird consecutive game, winning of stack of con-tested ball and looking dangerous inside 50.
He also booted one goal, while Hobbs wasthe only other player to hit the scoreboard withfour majors,
Daniel Evans generated loads of run fromthe back-half in a game where the defence wasunder constant pressure and was ably assistedby Riley Aldous and James Ryan.
Aiden McSpeerin impressed in just his sec-ond senior game and Xavier O'Dwyer was promi-nent early at centre half-forward.
Yea were too often caught napping as YarraGlen took advantage of any turnovers and ran inwaves to move the ball swiftly into attack, set-ting up a number of simple set shots on goal.
The late withdrawal of Jimmy Ivill was farfrom the perfect start as the visitors took advan-tage of their significant size advantage over theTigers in heavy conditions.
Yea will recuperate with the bye this weekbefore taking on Seville after the break.
ReservesYea came up against one of the competition’s
premier sides on Saturday and was put to thesword, suffering an 80-point defeat at the handsof Yarra Glen.
Still missing a number of their prime movers,the Tigers struggled to hit the scoreboard inheavy conditions against a big bodied opposi-tion, registering just two behinds for the day.
Yea took it up to the visitors early and trailedby just two goals at the first break before YarraGlen kicked away with five majors to zero in thesecond term to claim a 46-point lead headinginto half time.
The result was never in doubt after the main
change with Yarra Glen booting another fourgoals in the third but to the Tigers credit, theyfought out the match and conceded just onemajor in the final term.
Zac Butler relished the wet conditions anddominated in the clinches, while BrendanBullen did a brilliant job in defence with histhird consecutive standout performance.
Tim Finger shouldered much of theruckwork and never stopped trying in testingconditions.
Charlie Jenkins and Dean Clue both offeredplenty of drive through the middle of the ground,Cameron Ryan was solid again and MarcusMackrell found plenty of the football.
Yea will have a week off to recover due tothe bye before clashing with another tough op-ponent in Seville.

YEA A GRADE NETBALLYarra Glen were the premiers
when they last played Divison 2netball and they will certainly beamongst the favourites for the flagthis season.
The Yea A-Grade girls havebeen having a great season so farand despite going down to a betterside on Saturday, were far from dis-graced, and as always played thegame in excellent spirit.
Yarra Glen knew the Tigerswere not going to be a walkoverespecially with a competitive firstquarter.
Yea worked hard offensively tomaintain as much possession asthey could and the defenders keptthemselves in front to take somenice intercepts. Yea trailed by 5 atquarter time.
The second quarter was the dif-ference in the game with YG win-ning the quarter by 9 goals.
The Tigers had to work overtimein attack for every ball they got butthey never backed down and foughthard for possession.
The transition play from YG wasexcellent and this made it hard forYea to make a real impact in de-fence, Yarra Glen shooting well,not allowing Megan Leatham andMeg Sundblom many chances ata rebound.
The second half was reasonablyeven, Yarra Glen only winning thethird and fourth quarters by a fewgoals.
The Yea team is combining re-ally well and as they continue toconsolidate their structures and part-nerships on court they will certainlygo into next round’s encounter
against Yarra Glen a much stron-ger side.
The Tigers still hold onto a topthree ladder position despite theloss to Yarra Glen and with a roadtrip to Seville coming up, this willbe another great test for them.

★B-GRADE NETBALL
In another battle of the unde-feated sides, this turned out to be agame of two halves.
Thankfully for the Tigers, thesecond half was their better halfand they claimed the victory.
Yarra Glen settled the better, es-pecially in defence, making CindyHayes and Jess work hard for anygoals.
The Tigers had to work reallyhard for any goals but a couple ofripper passes from CindyNewcomen into the goal circlelifted the momentum for Yea.
Despite the excellent efforts ofLoz Cronk and Brooke Lloyd,Yarra Glen just weren't missingtheir goals and they led by 2 at quar-ter time.
Both defensive ends held thekey in the second quarter as nei-ther side had great scoring quar-ters.
Emma Aldous and CindyNewcomen were solid in attack try-ing their upmost to keep Yea in pos-session of the ball.
Leading by 3 at half-time, YarraGlen would have been confident
going into the second half, but Yeahad other ideas.
The inclusion of Reg and Nikkiinto the game made a real impactfor the Tigers and with the defen-sive brilliance of Bridget O’Dwyerat WD, Yea had control of the playstraight away.
With impeccable shooting fromReg, the Tigers soon levelled thescores and then overtook the visi-tors to reverse the half time lead intheir favour, by 3.
Yarra Glen rallied during the lastquarter, but Yea took control of thegame and ran away by 9 goals.
Brooke, Loz and Bridget wereall vital in defence, all girls makingimportant intercepts against qual-ity opponents.

★C-GRADE NETBALL
What a great win for the C-Grade girls, knocking off the lad-der leaders Yarra Glen.
This game was as tight as canbe, with neither team able to openthe game up at all over four quar-ters.
Yea was able to take slenderleads into every break but neverenough to feel at all comfortable.
Emily Watts and Rachel madea great start to the game defen-
sively, taking some really nice in-tercepts to put Yea back into controlwith the ball.
Chelsea Heider and Kirstyteamed well in transition to get theball into Yea’s attacking third.
It was tough in the goals but Yealed by 1 at quarter time.
Jess and Mia Ross were able towork themselves into the gamemore in the second quarter and withgreat feeds from Molly Jarvie andKirstie, this resulted in a higher scor-ing quarter for Yea.
At the other end the GS was thefocal point for Yarra Glen and DebShickerling and Em Watts madeher work for every goal she got.
Em Watts worked hard on YarraGlen’s WA, restricting the amountof ball she received.
Yea won the quarter by 2 goalsand led by 3 at half-time.
The second half played out likethe first, both sides applying fan-tastic full court pressure making ev-ery possession vital.
Yarra Glen were able to make acouple of vital turnovers to outscoreYea in the third quarter to reduceYea’s lead to just 1 at three quartertime.
Yea held its nerve and kept greatcomposure in a tense last quarter.
Five goals to both teams in theensured Yea held on to a thrillingone goal win.
Great effort girls!Yea 20 def Yarra Glen 19
