Two hundred and fifty young people from Eildon to Kinglake and everywhere in between lifted
the roof on the Yea Shire Hall on 26 August at the latest Battle of the Bands.
The winning band on the night was, 400 Watts of Inspiration from Alexandra. 400 Watts of
Inspiration will now represent Murrindindi in the Hume region battle competing against winners
from 8 other municipalities for the honour of competing in The Push Over state wide battle of
bands in March 2012.
Cr Cris Ruhr said FReeZA committees from Yea and Alexandra worked together in promoting
and running the event with headline act Uprising proving extremely popular.
“The committees are to be congratulated on their organisational skills. The events ran very
smoothly and were extremely successful,” Cr Ruhr said.
The warm up disco event was also well attended by 68 primary school aged children.
An elderly man is stopped by the police around 1 a. m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.
The man replies, "I am going to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body."
The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The man replies, "That would be my wife."

Murrindindi Shire Council is encouraging landholders along the Goulburn River High Country Rail Trail (GRHCRT) to contact Council before clearing land to install fencing along the rail corridor.
Council’s General Manager Sustainability Michael Chesworth said it was important that landholders in
Murrindindi were aware of their obligations in terms of vegetation clearing.
“We have had an experience where clearing has taken place and Council has issued a planning
infringement notice,” Mr Chesworth said.
“Council is making staff available to talk to landholders who need to fence their property to make sure that
all guidelines and regulations are met.”
Mr Chesworth said the farming community continued to be supportive of the project and were working with Council to ensure a high standard of fencing was being installed.
“We have also been pleased by the recent public meeting process to highlight the contents of the Draft Rail Trail Management Plan,” Mr Chesworth said.
The plan provides guidelines for the management of the rail trail to help facilitate a safe and enjoyable user experience as well as the protection and enhancement of environmental assets and to ensure consistent management of the trail through the three municipalities of Murrindindi, Mitchell and Mansfield shires.
It addresses a comprehensive range of topics which will enable the rail trail to be managed and promoted
consistently across the shires including.
Governance
Environment and cultural heritage
Assets maintenance
Emergency management
Risks
Tourism and marketing
Public meetings in Yea attracted around 35 people and 15 people attended in Alexandra.
“We are looking forward to the final plan that will be signed off by the three Councils,” Mr Chesworth said.
Landholders who would like assistance with rail trail fencing information can contact Council on 5772 0333.
The rail trail is on track for completion by December 2011.

In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day."
The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment."
He was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water.
We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service.
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?
