AFTER elective surgery to amputate the lower part of her leg, Amanda Reynolds is more determined then ever to reach her goals at Rio. The Macclesfield mum of two and kayak paddler suffered from chronic pain on her right leg through a central nervous disorder that meant that her leg did not work below the knee.

In April 2012 Amanda, alongside her husband Wayne and two sons, made the decision to amputate.

“Sitting on the sidelines and not being able to participate was the hardest part,” she said.

“And for the amount of medication I was on, my boys said if removing the leg meant I didn’t have to take them any more they wanted me to get rid of it.

“We wanted quality of life and we came to the realisation that we could have more of a life without my leg.”

With her sights now firmly on the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, Amanda has to qualify at the World Championships to be selected for the Australian team.

“There are a few levels you have to go through to get qualified and currently I’m at the qualifying stage,” she said.

“I’ve just done a couple of meets interstate and we have three more to go and then, hopefully, after the qualifications I can get on the team and head towards Rio. “At the moment I am running times for the Worlds so, hopefully, I can keep up with the times and qualify in the next three races and I’ll be going.”

Training seven days a week in cardio training, weight train, paddling and Pilates, Amanda said the vigorous training scheduled is worth it in the end.

Walk the talk to end cancers

By REBECCA BILLS MOUNT EVELYN local Jane Vandenbroek is embarking on a two-day, 60-kilometre walk to End Women’s Cancers.

In conjunction with the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Ms Vandenbroek, who is nearly 60 herself, will be taking part in the weekend event over the 1 and 2 March to raise money in support of the foundation.

“Cancer is so prevalent these days and most families are touched whether it is by a family member or close friend,” she said.

“I’ve been in the Mother’s Day Classic walk before and it was a great community event and a great feeling to know you were raising money for a very

Loiterer look-out EMERALD police are urging residents to be on the look-out after a recent spate of thefts from motor vehicles in the Cockatoo area.

Leading Senior Constable Brett Hore said residents needed to ensure that they lock their cars and notify police if they see anyone loitering.

“We do have our suspects and they are being watched closely,” he said.

Sen Const Hore said there has also been a spate of graffiti at the Cockatoo Scout Hall and the Josie Bysouth Reserve.

to raise a few bucks,” he said.

“It’s actually become pretty big, and we will donate anything we can get to the family.”

Mr Howe and his team have organised a jumping castle, face painting, musicians, plus a number of raffles already planned for the day.

“The support we’ve had has been amazing,” he said.

People are invited to come and enjoy the day, donations are not expected, but will be appreciated.

Joshua’s fund-raiser will be held at the Upwey Tecoma Recreation Reserve at Chosen Avenue, Upwey from 11am - 5pm.

HE IS a special little boy, and his battle ahead has captured the hearts of many.

Upwey’s Joshua Schwarz has a rare form of cancer which, doctors say, is inoperable and he only has months to live.

On Sunday 16 February the community is invited to come together again to show their support for Joshua and his family.

Dane Howe from the Upwey and Tecoma Football and Cricket Clubs said each year the clubs worked together on a community-based initiative.

“Last year, it was fund-raising for the local CFA, this year we’ve decided to do what we can for Joshua and his family,” Mr Howe said.

“One of our players mums used to be Joshua’s kindergarten teacher, so that’s how it all started.

“The family aren’t members of our club, but they are Upwey people.”

Mr Howe said he and other members of the club met with Joshua’s mum Penne, and decided to run a fund-raising day at the club this weekend.

“The plan is to open the doors and see what we can do

“My sister had a scare that really threw me, but thankfully it all went OK.” The weekend walk is to remember those lives that have been lost to breast or gynaecological cancer and to celebrate the lives that are currently being saved.

“Peter Mac does a wonderful job, and any money I can bring their way is great,” Ms Vandenbroek said.

“To participate, I had to raise $2000, but I’m really just looking to raise as much as I can.”

Hawks join hot steps plea

By MELISSA MEEHAN

Hawthorn Football Club has joined forces with the Upper Ferntree Gully CFA to raise awareness of safety on the 1000 Steps.

Roadside ambush probed

By MELISSA MEEHAN A WOMAN named Meredith could hold the missing piece to the puzzle regarding a violent attack in Yellingbo last week.

The attack has left a 51-yearold Warburton man in a serious condition in hospital in what police describe as “in a pretty bad way”.

Lilydale CIU Detective Sargent Allan Price said “Meredith” could answer a number of questions concerning what eventuated, because the victim was not yet able to speak with police.

It is believed the man drove to Macclesfield Road when his female housemate called saying her car had broken down and she needed his assistance.

“While she was waiting, we believe she went to the toilet in the bushes and heard yelling

and screaming,” Det Sgt Price said.

“Scared for her own safety she then fled, and was able to get a lift (with Meredith) to the Belgrave Police Station to report what had happened.”

He said that the man was assaulted with what is believed to be a large iron bar, and that his attackers left the scene in the car.

“It’s a rural road, but would have been pretty busy given the time of day,” Det Sgt Price said.

Witnesses have told the Mail and police they saw a man in his twenties beating something into a drain with an iron bar, not realising he was attacking a person. When the man stopped the attack, he and three others - another man and two women - got back into a car and drove off.

As the group left, witnesses

realised that there was a man injured in the gutter, with serious head wounds so they called police and an ambulance.

“He had some serious head wounds, and was conscious but incoherent,” Monbulk’s Leading Senior Constable Glenn Barkaway, who attended the scene, said. The victim has fractured skull as a result of the attack. He remains in hospital at The Alfred.

The woman known as Meredith is believed to be driving a beige-coloured Ford Territory.

Police are also searching for the stolen blue Ford sedan, registration UQG 947.

Investigators urge anyone with information about the incident or whereabouts of the blue Ford sedan to come forward or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

HAWTHORN Football Club has joined forces with the Upper Ferntree Gully CFA to warn visitors to the 1000 Steps to take care this summer.

CFA Community Education Coordinator Matt Ahern said the brigade had been working with Hawthorn to push safety awareness in the Dandenong Ranges.

“We have roughly 70,000 visitors to the steps a month,” Mr Ahern said.

“Many of these people are unaware of the fact they are in one of the most at risk fire areas in the world.”

Mr Ahern said it was important for the greater community to avoid the steps on days of Total Fire Ban and Code Red. “People need to rethink where they are going to exercise,” he said.

“They could go to the beach instead.”

He said the fire danger was not the only reason people should avoid the steps during summer.

“The heat affects people differently, and those who are not physically conditioned for the environment can collapse,” he said.

“This holds up fire-fighting resources as it takes 8-10 emergency services personnel to provide assistance to one person who is unwell up there.

“So on days over 32 degrees, we are asking people to avoid the steps.”

Send your letters to: editor@yvnews.com.au

Making a noise about aircraft THANK you to Matthew Parker and his letter to this paper regarding passenger jet flight noise over the Dandenong Ranges (Jet Upset, Mail 16 January).

Matthew recently contacted my office regarding this matter and expressed his concerns.

I subsequently contacted the office of the Hon Warren Truss Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development regarding aircraft flight paths and noise. I have been advised that in the first instance contact should be made with the Airservices’ Noise Complaint and Information Service (NCIS).

They can be contacted on 1800 802 583 (free call), at email ncis@airservicesaustralia.com or online by visiting www.airservicesaustralia.com/ aircraftnoise/about-makinga-complaint/role-of-the-noiseenquiry-unit/.

This information has been relayed to Matthew and although I have not noticed an increase in air traffic over the hills, this is not to say things have not changed.

I would be interested to hear if other residents have noticed an increase in air traffic by contacting my office on 9768 9164 or email me at Jason.Wood.MP@aph.gov.au.

Jason Wood MP, Federal Member for La Trobe.

Flush funds LIKE Val Butler, (Wish List For Improvements, Mail, 21 January) I work at the opportunity shop in McBride Street, Cocka-

too. I feel ashamed to send our customers down the road, away from the shopping precinct to use the public toilets.

I sent an email to our local councillor Leticia Wilmot in October 2013, requesting a public toilet be built on the vacant block of land next to the Bendigo Community Bank, which the shire has purchased to build a walk way to the new supermarket.

I requested a reply, and as of now, three months after my email, no response.

Shameful. We want the customers to stay, not disappear down the road and not bother coming back to shop.

Time the council spent some of our rates in Cockatoo.

Heather Williams, Cockatoo.

Solution in can IN the Mail readers were hit with propaganda from Stan Moore (Home Recycling Pickup Under Threat, Mail 21 January) suggesting the kerbside recycling systems of Cardinia and Yarra Ranges Councils were under threat from the proposed container deposit system.

This scare campaign shows how desperate industry is to block this much needed litter reform. South Australia has had a container deposit system since the mid 1970s.

They also have kerbside recycling which proves that the two systems are compatible and actually complement one another.

The South Australian container deposit system has a public approval rating of more than 80 per cent.

If it did undermine kerbside recycling it would not be so popular with the public in

1119131-CB7-14

South Australia. This popularity comes from the fact that people know it works. Cans and bottles are not a litter problem in South Australia.

Secondly, people in South Australia like their container deposit system because every year community groups raise millions of dollars from cans and bottles.

In opposing a container deposit system the beverage industry is being reckless and irresponsible.

Currently 8 billion drink containers are not recycled in Australia every year. Many of these become litter.

A container deposit system will fix this problem but this solution might not be seen outside South Australia and the Northern Territory if industry has its way.

We must hope that the Victorian Premier, who is a supporter of container deposits, stands firm and ignores these inaccurate and self serving arguments.

Peter Cook, AFROCAB, Australians for Refunds on Cans and Bottles.

Rough ride to election THE Baillieu Napthine government came to power promising to fix all sorts of issues besetting Victoria.

Next November the people of Victoria will be able to vote on whether or not they have done so. However, there is one area where they have been singularly successful.

They have improved all our disintegrating roads - by installing ’Rough Surface’ signs.

Silvan Football Club President Chris Maclagan had to run a rock concert in the Yarra Valley with some good old Aussie

“We are looking forward to next year’s event,” she said.

334523-JM50-8

WANDIN East Reserve rocked to life at Rock Berry Jam - the newest open air rock concert that featured headline acts including Ian Moss and Dragon.

The all-star line-up that entertained the crown on Saturday 8 February also featured acts like The Choirboys, 1927, Skipping Girl Vinegar, The Flaming Moes and Inside Reality.

Organiser of the event Lisa Glassborow said the event was absolutely amazing and better than she ever imagined.

“The stage we built equalled that of A Day on the Green kind of rock concerts,” she said.

“A lot of the bands said it was the most professional they had been to in a long time.

“Our numbers weren’t as good as we were hoping for but next year we are hoping to crack 2000.”

Ms Glassborow said the hot weather did not deter concert goers from having a good time, with a big fire hose spraying the crowd to keep them cool.

“As the sun went down the entertainment heated up when Mossy came out,” she said.

“When he came out he really was the pinnacle of the event.

“We had everybody down the front near the stage and the set-up we had was really intimate and enabled everyone to feel really close to the band.”

“We will release our line-up in the middle of this year.”

Coveted role of Speaker for Fyffe as Smith falls

By MELISSA MEEHAN CONSTITUENTS of the Evelyn electorate will still be represented in the party room despite MP Christine Fyffe being elected unopposed as the 36th Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. Ms Fyffe’s new position came as no surprise, as current Speaker Ken Smith stepped down on Tuesday.

While Ms Fyffe gives up her vote in Parliament, she will still be able to talk about local issues in the party room, and work with other politicians in the area to get her views across.

Ms Fyffe thanked the House for expressing their confidence in her as she takes on the new role.

“I am humbled to take on the role of Speaker,” Mrs Fyffe said.

“I do not take this task on lightly.

I acknowledge it will be a challenge to steer a finely-balanced Parliament.

“The Speaker is a servant of the Parliament, whose priority is the protection of the rights of members and to ensure the smooth running of the House.

“I see the role of speaker is to apply the Standing Orders that are

set by the Parliament itself. Being Speaker is very much akin to the role of an umpire.

“For me, Australia has truly been the lucky country. I was fortunate that Australia accepted me as an immigrant who arrived with very little and later granted me citizenship.

I met my husband David, raised a family together and we owned our own business.

“The voters of Evelyn have put their confidence in me at three elections, and now I have been given the great honour of being elected Speaker.”

Ms Fyffe brings 10 years of parliamentary experience to the role, including the past three years as Deputy Speaker. Ms Fyffe was first elected to the Legislative Assembly as the member for Evelyn in 1999 and was subsequently re-elected in 2006 and 2010. Ms Fyffe is married to David and has five adult children.

Before entering politics, Ms Fyffe was a Commissioner of the Shire of Yarra Ranges during its amalgamation. Prior to this, she and David owned and operated a Yarra Valley winery and restaurant.

Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe has been named Speaker of the House.

Reward to find Bung’s killer A ONE million dollar reward has been announced for information about the disappearance of 13-yearold Boronia girl Siriyakorn ‘Bung’ Siriboon. Bung left her home in Elsie Street, Boronia around 8.30am on Thursday 2 June 2011. She was seen by a neighbour a short time later in Elsie Street, walking towards Albert Avenue.

Bung did not arrive at school that day and has not been seen or heard from since.

Investigators continue to hold grave fears for her safety. Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter said he was hopeful that the announcement of the reward would encourage someone who knew what happened to Bung to share the information with police.

“One million dollars is a life changing amount of money,” Det Insp Potter said.

“Taskforce Puma and Homicide

Squad detectives have investigated more than 1200 pieces of information since Bung went missing but we’re still missing that crucial piece that will provide some answers about what happened to her.

“We are not going to solve this on our own, we need the community’s help - if you have any information about what may have happened to Bung on that morning in June 2011 and have not previously contacted us, please do so,” he said.

At the time of her disappearance Bung was wearing her blue and white school uniform and carrying a school backpack.

The backpack has never been recovered.

Anyone with new information about the disappearance of Bung Siriboon is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Monash’s citizen soldiers recalled

By KATH GANNAWAY THE first of two story boards marking 100 years since then Colonel John Monash marched 3000 citizen soldiers into Lilydale was erected at Lillydale Lake on Sunday.

A militia camp was set up in the basin that is largely now Lillydale Lake as part of compulsory civilian military training for boys and young men between 12 and 26.

The combat training including battalion drills, musketry practice and a mock battle at Mount Mary near Coldstream which was aimed at training them to defend a developing Australia, should the need arise.

The troops arrived at Lilydale by train and were marched through the town to set up camp in conditions very much like those experienced by the people standing on the hilltop at Lillydale Lake on Sunday - extreme

heat and blustery winds with fires burning to the east.

Brigadier (retired) Michael Phelps AM welcomed guests, members of the organising committee and members of the public, some of whom had connections going back to those who attended the camp.

Former Victorian Premier and chairman of the Victorian Anzac Centenary Committee Ted Baillieu, local historian and author of Monash’s Militia Camp Anthony McAleer, Casey MP Tony Smith and the great-grandson of Sir John Monash, Michael Bennett, each spoke of the event recognising it as an important part of both the district’s military history and an important and fascinating window into Australia’s pre-World War I history.

Mr Baillieu set the scene of the militia camp against the larger back-

drop of the increasingly threatening situation in Europe saying Victoria was a peaceful and prosperous place at the time.

“The citizen soldiers, aged from 12 to 26 were no different form our cadets here today, and there were 3000 of them,” he said acknowledging the young Australian Air Force cadets who along with the Australian Great War Association formed the guard of honour.

Mount Evelyn RSL president Roger Boness said the history boards, the second of which will be launched at Coldstream on Thursday, and launch of the RSL’s second history book was an important part of the RSL’s role in preserving and recording local military heritage.

For more information visit the Facebook page Lilydale Militia Camp 1914.

Michael Bennett, greatgrandson of Sir John Monash, unveiled the plaque detailing the history of the militia camp.

Emerald- it’s a gem of a town EMERALD is a town with much to offer, ranging from Lamble Tours to markets and even 4X4 mechanical repairs.

Lamble Tours, a locally based, family owned and operated coach Tour Company, with emphasis on quality and caring personalised service, specialises in home-baked morning teas which are all part of the service.

Door-to-door pick up service included for most extended tours, with trips ranging from day tours which can be individually planned to meet the needs of your group, to extended holidays.

2014 marks 20 years in business for Lamble Tours providing coach tours to community groups - this is a testament to the quality of the service provided.

Lamble Tours are also able to provide travel insurance at very competitive rates.

Also in Emerald is the Emerald Market on the third Sunday of every month.

The market has become a meeting place for locals and tourists alike.

The stallholders have a varied offering including organic and local produce, speciality food items, handmade clothing and giftware, plants and ornaments, and gourmet hot food

with seating provided.

The market is open from 9am in Kilvington Drive, Emerald, and is a short stroll from the Emerald Puffing Billy station.

The market has a vibrant atmosphere with buskers and performers.

The Emerald Market raises funds for the Performing And Visual arts in Emerald (PAVE) Festival which won the Australia Day Awards Event of the Year for Cardinia Shire 2014.

The festival kicks off with the Emerald Fun Fest on Sunday 6 April and runs all week long - for more information, visit www.pave.org.au.

Emerald is also home to Emerald 4X4 Mechanical Repairs.

Local Annette has been running Emerald 4X4 Mechanical repairs since the loss of her late husband Darrel in 2006 with the help of fully qualified mechanics Keith and Simon.

At Emerald 4X4 Mechanical Repairs, the business is about to carry out road worthy inspections on cars, 4X4 and cars on gas as well as new car log book servicing, suspension and brakes, batteries and mechanical repairs.

If you need a service or a quote, call 5968 2922 or visit 273 Belgrave-Gembrook Road, Emerald.

Baked golfers day out

By DENNIS FULLER WITH the big shiny doing its best to deter golfers at Emerald Golf Club, a group of hard souls hit the course.

For the first round of the three round summer, Ken Sumsion (28) decided that a day in the sun was worth a good round.

A magnificent +6 to put him right at the top of the leaders’ board and a strong winner in B Grade.

A Grade was won by Graeme White (13) with +2 and seems to be playing better each week lately so could scare the pants off the leader.

Down the line in the run for the Summer Cup are Con Whitlock (17) and Allan Ecclestone (19) on +4 with Ian Scott (31) and Peter Clowes (17) all on +2 and not far off the pace.

Broc Reynolds was nearest the pin on the fourth, Peter Glasscock on the seveth and the 13th, Whitlock on the 13th and the pro pin went to Greg Horrocks who let go a magnificent shot in difficult circumstances and nearly aced it.

The day also belonged to Con Whitlock who aced the 12th which is his second ace in a few months.

Allan Ecclestone was not to be outshone completely when he eagled the ninth hole from approxiamately 150 metres.

He was heard to claim 180 metres but that would mean he played at least one very average shot before this to be that far out after two.

There are joint leaders in the ladies’ Summer Cup when the powers that be could not split Kendra Hill and Deanne Shannon.

It will be interesting to see which can rise like cream to the top in the next two rounds.

On Wednesday, when the Old and Flailing Golfers rolled up for a stroke round, it was Sepp Krummenacher (28) who kicked the living daylights out of the course and the opposition with a nett score of 56.

That is 14 better than his handicap.

Ian Scott had 61 while Ben Balfour and Mick Petrie both had 62 which were scores that are usually good enough to win.

The second week of the summer round is to be played next week and the members are hoping for more friendly conditions in the fight to run down the current leader.

Little athletes record strong results in sun WARM weather reduced numbers again at the latest round of Yarra Ranges Athletics Little Athletics.

But the weather did not affect performances with more outstanding results from athletes highlighted by a club record to Tess Patterson in the Under 13 Girls 800 metres.

The club is lucky with a strong quartet of middle distance girls.

Georgia Laven (Under 11), Lily Peacock (Under 12), Tess Patterson (Under 13) and Molly Dixon (Under 15) have broken most of 400 metre, 800 metre and 1500 metre club age group records.

The AV Shield completion was cancelled because of the extreme weather enabling the athletes another week of training before AV Junior Championships next weekend.

Results from Day Two of the State Multi Event championships held in Bendigo last weekend are: Chelsea Thompson (Under 12 Girls) 10th, Harrison Van Duuren (Under 12 Boys) 13th, Jayden Clarke (Under 12 Boys ) 33rd, Rickylee Brown (Under 13 Girls) 20th, Lee Taylor (Under 13 Girls) 29th, James Laven (Under 14 Boys ) 12th. The next round of little athletics is at 8.45am on Saturday 15 February.

Small wonder Falcons won

By STEVE BROWN THIS week in FTGDCA, former Northcote batsman Shannon Small used all of his premier experience in trying conditions to secure a Knox Gardens victory.

The team’s win was by seven wickets over last season’s finalist Upper Ferntree Gully.

The Falcons were 1/13 overnight, chasing 150 before losing Rhys Marget early in the day to give the Kings a chance at 2/29 with the winner keeping its finals hopes alive.

Small, who opened the innings, displayed tremendous concentration, placing a high price on his wicket and ended the match with an unbeaten 65 in four and a half hours at the crease.

Nav Singh joined Small at the fall of Marget’s wicket and he played his best innings at this level with a gritty 49, the pair adding 107.

A weary Small said after the game that it was probably the best attack he’s faced this season and they did not have a weak link.

“I’ve batted for 80 overs a couple of times but today wasn’t too bad out there,” he said.

Ferntree Gully’s paceman Jarrod Bradley produced a top spell at Monbulk securing a win for the Blues and, more importantly, a chance for finals action.

Bradley’s 7/15 was too good for the Hawks who were bundled out for just 124 winning by 99 runs in conditions more suitable for the batsmen.

Star out of retirement Jason Fraser top scored with 48 to add to his seven wickets last week and Tom Watson produced 35.

It appears that only the top five can make the finals and the Blues are sitting fifth on percentage just behind

Knox Gardens.

In a slow day’s play at Belgrave, the home side was dismissed by Johnson Park for 209 late in the day despite a half century to Dinusha Fernando.

The Sharks defended 307 thanks to off spinner and country week squad member Steve Devenish who bowled well for a return of 4/68 on an unforgiving ground for spinners.

Knoxfield (160) failed to make inroads on Eildon Park’s imposing 317.

One report and two official warnings may suggest things were a little heated in the middle.

Jayson Scanlan continues to contribute with 46 and Adith Sundaresh knocked up 37 as the Panthers continue to dominate sitting on top of the table.

Footballers (194) performed admirably against third placed Upwey Tecoma but could not take the final wicket to produce an upset and it was

left to tail end batsman Mitch Ebeyer to get the Tigers home by one wicket in a thriller at the Dome.

A large crowd is expected to witness the Saxon Sports Cup T20 grand final between The Basin and Johnson Park commencing at 5.30pm this Tuesday night at Batterham Park Reserve, Miller Road, The Basin.

Heat cancels senior games EXTREME heat and threat of dangerous fire conditions forced the opening day of YVCA Round 12 action to cancel all senior cricket.

The wellbeing of all competitors, especially the junior cricketers who often play two games of a Saturday, was put at a premium.

With the cancellation of the first day, all games will revert to a oneday game next Saturday. In the association’s premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, the competition is coming to an exciting conclusion with only three rounds remaining.

Healesville, Coldstream and Seville have all had fluctuating seasons, however, with plenty of depth with bat and ball in all line-ups, they sit in the top three places on the ladder.

This week’s clash between Seville and Coldstream may just give everyone a clear guide on which will be the team to chase in a month’s time.

Mount Evelyn rounds out the top four and missed a golden opportunity last week to all but shut the gate on its challengers.

Its loss to Yarra Junction has opened the door for Junction as it now sits only half a game off the pace and with arguably the best form of the competition it would take a brave man to back against it featuring in finals.

Woori Yallock and WarburtonMillgrove needs to win its remaining games and hopes for some favourable results to feature in the finals. Both sides have recorded some memorable wins across the season, a lack of depth and consistency has cost them dearly.

Rounding out the ladder is the hapless Hoddles Creek.

The Wombats have generally been outclassed despite beating both Coldstream and Healesville - just missing the big scalp of Seville.

Hoddles Creek will rue its inability to match it with those teams around it on the ladder when it mattered.

While most cricketers in the Valley are either gearing themselves for finals or having a spirited dash at them, the association’s elite are gearing themselves up for the annual

VCCL Country Week competition.

This is being held across Melbourne between Monday 17 and Friday 21 February.

The YVCA will be competing in Division Two after a fruitless 2013 campaign.

Despite only recording one win in last year’s competition - the fact that this win was against eventual champions Bairnsdale has the squad confident of a strong showing this year.

The Valley boys face local rival Ferntree Gully in the first round at Doncaster on Monday while they face Traralgon at Casey on Tuesday.

Games against Warrnambool (Northcote) and Mornington (Frankston) round out what will be a challenging week for the team in its quest to gain a place in the competition’s premier division for the first time in many years.

The squad selected to represent the YVCA for the VCCL Country Week tournament is: Kane Jones (Captain Mount Evelyn), Brad Jones (Mount Evelyn), Daniel Lever (Yarra Junction), Quentin Hodgkinson (Yarra Junction), Ishara Amarasinghe (Seville), Daniel Fraser (Mount Evelyn), Jesse Fraser (Mount Evelyn), Troy Murphy (Warburton-Millgrove), Jarrod Bayliss (Coldstream), Simon Young (Woori Yallock), Ryan Smith (Woori Yallock) and Luke Jones (Mount Evelyn).

Cool win for Frosty

By KATH GANNAWAY FROSTY Jay Jay came home in spectacular fashion on Sunday to take out the Group 2 Lion Quality Healesville Cup final which has a $72,500 prize pool.

The Pearcedale trained dog ran down stablemate Paw Licking in the shadows of the finishing post claiming the Healesville Cup, $43,750 first-place prize money and a track record with 18.81 seconds.

Jason Thompson’s Zulu Zircon navigated his way through the field to finish third.

Trainer Kelvyn Greenough said the win was a great team effort.

Greenough thanked his family for their efforts in helping to train the greyhound and paid tribute to a recently passed kennel star.

“This is a tremendous result for us and it is the result of a lot of hard work,” he said.

“I am so grateful to my family for

all they do with the greyhounds; it’s a real team effort.”

He dedicated the win to Dolores Ruth and her greyhound Razldazl Bonnie who he said was tragically lost recently in difficult circumstances.

The cup was presented to Greenough and his daughter Angela Jackson by MP Craig Ondarchi.

Healesville Greyhound Club manager Lee Fahry said the day was a great Cup Day success despite numbers being impacted by the heat.

The meeting was brought forward to accommodate the hot and windy conditions predicted for the day, but Ms Fahry said the Cup race was run as a welcome cool change came over the track, making it more pleasant not only for the stars of the show but for patrons who had braved the conditions to attend the meeting.

Healesville Greyhound Club holds race meetings every Sunday at the Don Road track.

And the big men line up

By RUSSELL BENNETT

Narre Warren product Brendan Fevola, pictured here playing for his hometown Magpies in 2011, will lace up the boots for Kinglake on Anzac Day. 114570 Pictures: DONNA OATES egated back to Division 2 after struggling badly with injury throughout the season.

Fevola, meanwhile, will ultimately be remembered as one of the AFL’s

best key forwards of the 2000s - despite making a name for himself as much for his off-field antics as his onfield prowess.

He played 204 games for Carlton

and Brisbane between 1999 and 2010, booting 623 goals - earning him the Coleman Medal in 2006 and 2009, and three All-Australian selections.

Fevola has played for Ovens and

Murray League side Yarrawonga over the past two seasons, booting 192 goals in 33 games and finally winning that elusive senior grand final with the Pigeons last season.

A PAIR of former AFL superstar forwards will line up in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League this season, with two-time Coleman medallist Brendan Fevola and former Melbourne high-flyer Russell Robertson set to draw big crowds through the gates.

Fevola made a one-off appearance for Division 1 side Monbulk last season, booting six goals in a starring role in the Hawks’ five-point upset win over eventual grand-finalists, Upwey Tecoma.

He’ll be looking to have the same pinch-hitting impact when he laces up the boots for Division 2 outfit Kinglake on Anzac Day this season, when the Lakers host Yarra Glen.

Robertson, one of the most spectacular aerialists in AFL history, is on track to play for Monbulk against Warburton Millgrove in round one this season and is also likely to make a host of other appearances for the Hawks throughout 2014.

The man affectionately known as ‘Robbo’ played over 220 games for Melbourne after making his debut in 1997 and was a long-time team mate of current Monbulk player-coach Daniel Ward.

Robertson played nine games for the Burnie Dockers in the Tasmanian State League last season, slotting 24 majors.

His inclusion for the Hawks this season could make all the difference for a side trying to secure a top-three berth in a brutal YVMDFL first division.

In a sign of just how tight the competition is, three-time reigning grand finalist Gembrook Cockatoo was rel-
