Watch out for house fires AS THE electric blankets get switched on and fireplaces put to use, Mount Evelyn CFA is reminding residents of winter fire safety.

As the colder weather is now here Mount Evelyn CFA First Lieutenant Rick Ventrella said residents need to remember that many fires start in the home and can be prevented.

“There are a few key issues that we always have over the winter period,” he said.

“Those who have fire places like Coonaras Specials on Carpet End of Roll Room Sizes

Specials on Pegulan Timber Look vinyl 4 Metre wide

Rugs

need to ensure that their chimneys have been cleared of any excess soot and it’s very important that they have a fire guard in place.

“In Mount Evelyn we have had fires that have been left unattended overnight and a log has rolled out onto a mat - last year that caused the loss of a house.”

Mr Ventrella also said residents need to check their electric blankets for tears or faults and should be turned on 30 minutes before getting into bed and turned off once in bed.

“Make sure the wires aren’t bent or kinked as that can start a mattress fire,” he said.

“Another big one in Mount Evelyn is laptops on the bed - people leave them on the bed or under the doona and they don’t realise there is a small fan underneath.

“We have been to four fires over the last three years that are from laptops left on beds.”

One other issue that Mr Ventrella said resi-

dents need to be cautious of is leaving candles unattended in the bedroom or around the house as they can easily be knocked over and become hazardous to the occupant if a fire is started.

Mr Ventrella said families should talk through safety precautions ensure all smoke alarms are

active and a fire plan is in place should a fire occur.

“Also there tends to be a lot of burning off over this period,” he said.

“Please ensure you follow CFA and council restrictions and rules that are in place.”

Fact 3/1 Armstrong Grove Yarra Glen 3775

GAS heaters are convenient, energy efficient and cosy... but they can also be deadly.

Whether a gas heater is new or an older model, Energy Safe Victoria is urging anyone with a gas heater in their home to protect themselves against carbon monoxide poisoning by having heaters serviced every two years.

The risk posed by gas heaters came to light tragically in 2010 when two young Shepparton brothers died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a faulty gas heater.

Their mother, Vanessa Robinson, said while many people got their heaters serviced then, she didn’t want them to become complacent with the passing of time.

She said regular servicing was the most reliable way to detect whether a gas heater may be leaking odourless, colourless and potentially fatal carbon monoxide. Victoria’s Director of Energy Safety Paul Fearon recommended regular servicing at a minimum of every two years by a registered gasfitter.

He said residents should check when booking if their gasfitter has the proper equipment to check for carbon monoxide emissions.

“If they can’t do it properly, find somebody else who can,” he said.

The two-yearly servicing recommendation applies to all types of gas heaters including central heating units, wall and space heaters.

Sweet Potato, Capsicum and Red Lentil Soup (makes approximately two litres): Ingredients:

AROUND the Yarra Ranges, as the long, cold days are in full swing, residents are putting away the salad bowls and opting for warmer winter foods.

And Dairy Australia has some great tips and tricks to ensure food this winter keeps you warm and satisfied.

Dairy Australia’s Food communications manager Amanda Menegazzo said with the change of season it is time for people to get inspired in the kitchen.

“Swap your salad spinner for your slow cooker, update your shopping list to make the most of seasonal produce and get set for a winter of nostalgic, warm-me-up comfort dishes,” she said.

“There is something about dairy that makes it particularly warm and comforting during the colder months.

“As we edge towards shorter days and lower temperatures every home cook needs some new ideas to help add some extra oomph to the family menu,” Amanda said.

With this in mind, Ms Menegazzo has created a new collection of delicious winter dishes from The Dairy Kitchen that will inspire, tempt and satisfy.

One extra special winter dish on the menu is a sweet potato, capsicum and red lentil soup which is wholesome, fresh and full of flavour that will warm on coldest of days, and there’s a delicious, rich chocolate pudding - great comfort food on a cold day.

She said shoppers should put away the salad dressing and add a large tub of Greek yogurt to their weekly shop as this calcium-rich superfood adds a silky smooth texture and tangy bite to soups, curries, casseroles and slow-cooked stews.

 Police scooping up more weapons and villains...

Crooks busted

By JESSE GRAHAM CRIME statistics have skyrocketed in the Cardinia area, according to the latest statistics, but key crimes, such as family violence, remain higher in the Yarra Ranges.

The latest round of Victoria Police statistics were released on Wednesday 28 May and outlined a rise in crime for both Police Service Areas (PSAs) between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014 compared to the same time in the previous year.

In the Yarra Ranges, total crime rates rose from 6144 to 6569 offences - a rise of 6.9 per cent - while in Cardinia, statistics jumped 22 per cent, from 4984 to 6080 offences over the 12 months.

However, Cardinia Inspector Rob Wallace said the dramatic rise in offences recorded was due to improved police presence on the streets.

“In simple terms, local police have detected hundreds of extra offenders for offences such as the possession of weapons, anti-social behaviour and similar,” he said.

“It is also an indication that local policing strategies to ensure police are in the right areas at the right times are having an impact.”

Family violence assaults rose in both PSAs over the time period, with a 20 per cent rise in the Yarra Ranges and a 7 per cent rise in Cardinia.

Yarra Ranges Inspector Colin McKinney said that the jump in statistics can be attributed to more confidence in the community in reporting cases to police.

“Yarra Ranges (police) will continue to focus on family violence,” Insp McKinney said.

“Improved confidence is already apparent through the increased reporting of family violence and increased referrals of people in need to support agencies.”

A divisional family violence unit is currently operating in the Yarra Ranges to target the issue and provide guidance to those in need.

On a number of other key crime issues, the two PSAs had a divide be-

tween their results, with contrasting rises and falls for certain offences.

Drug offences dropped 4 per cent in Cardinia across the time period, but rose 6.7 per cent in the Yarra Ranges in the same time.

Meanwhile, property damage dropped 11 per cent in the Yarra Ranges, but jumped 18 per cent in Cardinia.

Thefts from motor vehicles rose 9.3 per cent across both PSAs, with theft offences rising from 548 to 599 in Cardinia and from 560 to 612 in the Yarra Ranges.

Both officers said that thieves target motor vehicles opportunistically, and urged drivers to take care to lock vehicles and leave valuables out of sight.

“It was evident during the reporting process that victims were leaving vehicles unlocked in garages, driveways and on residential streets,” Insp McKinney said.

“Most of the damage and vehicle related crimes are opportunistic,” Insp Wallace said.

“The local community can play a major part in reducing these offences from occurring by removing valuables and ensuring vehicles are locked and secured at all times, preferably off the street in a garage or driveway.”

Road policing was a major issue for both areas, and while the Cardinia PSA recorded a dramatic drop in road fatalities from nine in the 2012 calendar year down to one in 2013 - an increase of deaths was seen in the Yarra Ranges.

In the 2013 calendar year, eight people died on Yarra Ranges roads, up from five the year before.

Insp McKinney said that young and elderly drivers were the most vulnerable road users, and said one of the key risks for road fatalities or serious injuries was distraction or speeding.

Insp Wallace echoed these comments and encouraged drivers to play their part in road safety by respecting other road users and following the road rules.

Festival of creative flare IN THE lead up to the 8th Belgrave Lantern Festival, the creative flair that encapsulates Belgrave is coming to life.

Parade organiser Amy Middleton said preparations for the event are in full swing with locals already getting crafty with their lanterns for the annual event.

She said in the past thousands of people have flocked to the town to take part in the parade and it is well loved by the community.

“The lantern parade is about bringing the residents together and it is one of the few events that the whole family can be involved in,” she said.

“The parade is just one element of many that make Belgrave what it is.

“It really encapsulates how vibrant Belgrave really is – and it’s happening on an extra special day.”

Fighting fear

Macclesfield Primary School student leaders enjoying their time at the Helmeted Honeyeater’s Ambassador Training Day. Picture: CONTRIBUTED

By MELISSA MEEHAN IT ALL started with the 50 acts of fearlessness challenge.

Sassafras resident Kiarne Conder, 19, said she felt like she was existing but not really living. “I wrote down 50 things that I wanted to achieve over 100 days to conquer my fears and become a better person,� she said. “I’m halfway through it at the moment and regularly update my friends and family about it on social media.�

As part of her 50 acts, Kiarne decided to perform a random act of kindness. “It took me a while to figure out what that act would be but after spending a weekend camping in freezing Bendigo an idea went through my head,� she said. “Every day I walk past homeless people in the city, I feel bad for them but reluctant to give them the little money I have as I don’t know they’ll spend it the right way. “Usually I donate to op shops, but seeing all those freezing bodies in the city streets each day and knowing it hasn’t even hit winter yet I thought I’d love to go out and hand some warm clothes to the homeless.�

From there Kiarne got the ball rolling. She posted Facebook statuses and many family and friends said they also wanted to get involved. “So I created a Facebook event called Walk for Warmth,� she said. “And we held it last week - and it was so amazing to see how thankful people were when we handed them the clothes.�

Kiarne said many people were surprised that she was not affiliated with any church group and had start-

“Often they are lonely and just want someone to chat to.�

The event was so successful that Kiarne is planning on doing it again some day in the future.

MACCLESFIELD Primary School students have been busy with interesting activities as part of Education Week.

Seven students form grades three, four, five and six took part in Helmeted Honeyeater’s Ambassador Training Day to lead students in becoming experts on the topic.

Teacher Susan Birch said the aim for the selected students was to be able to teach, guide and lead other students in supporting the survival of the world’s only wild population of the helmeted honeyeater. “Our student ambassadors felt truly privileged to join another six students and their teacher from Yellingbo Primary School on a full day of learning led by environmental officer James Frazer and ornithologist Bruce Quinn.

Mrs Birch said the student also learned about the relationship between local and the genetically isolated Leadbeater’s possum’s and the helmeted honeyeater that both share the same habitat in Yellingbo. “They also learnt how to make up the supplementary food that is fed to the birds at feeding stations along the re-

serve in the remnant habitat,� she said. “We loaded up into four-wheel drives and drove out to these stations, walking silently along boardwalks to the viewing spot. “Our group was fortunate to see five birds - that is 5 per cent of the world’s population we learnt.�

Principal John Chiswell said the school, alongside Yellingbo Primary School, has been involved in the Helmeted Honeyeater project for nearly 15 years. “This is such an important project and the link between our school and the friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater is such a wonderful example of our students taking action.�

A science day was also held as part of Education Week.

Mr Chiswell said children came dressed as scientists and participated in three different science experiments ranging from chemical change in making slime to balloon powered rockets. “In a time when science funding is cut back and science is seen as such an important subject in schools, our school event was timely in promoting scientists and science,� he said.

‘Bung’ disappearance revisited

Bite-sized break-in THREE apple computers were stolen from a school in David Hill Road, Monbulk, last week.

Police are asking for witnesses to come forward.

Police number EMERALD police have a new number.

Phone 5954 0200 to speak to local police but in case of an emergency phone triple-zero.

Shed vandalised GRAFFITI vandals have once again damaged the Cocktoo Men’s Shed, community complex and childcare centre.

Police say they believe the graffiti happened on Saturday night and are calling on witnesses to contact 5954 0200.

Lock up or lose out UPWEY residents are yet again being reminded to lock their cars, even if parked in the driveway.

The recent reminder comes as a dozen cars were broken into over the weekend with property and cash being stolen.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Belgrave police on 9754 6677.

Broken-into heart MOUNT EVELYN’S Heart and Soul café was broken into on Sunday night.

Police said that a cash register with a small amount of money was stolen from the premesis.

Investigations are continuing.

Daylight kidnap POLICE are calling for witnesses to what they believe could have been a daylight abduction.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Ross McDonald said that a silver coloured Ford Territory was seen in the Kilsyth and Mooroolbark area between 1.30pm and 2.30pm on Friday 30 May. Three adults, a male and two females, were seen in the car before witnesses reported seeing them forcing another person into the vehicle.

The car was last seen driving south down Hawthory Road in Kilsyth.

He said police were appealing for witnesses who saw the abduction or may have seen suspicious behaviour in the area.

He said the victim was described as being 150cm tall with a thin build and wearing a blue hoody top.

The driver of the Ford was described as tall and thin, balding and wearing a grey top and blue jeans.

The man and one of the females in the car were described as being in their 50s.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2300.

ON the third anniversary of the disappearance of 13-year-old Boronia girl Siriyakorn ‘Bung’ Siriboon, Homicide Squad detectives are appealing for information from the public about a possible sighting on the day she went missing.

Bung left her home in Elsie Street, Boronia, around 8.30am on Thursday 2 June 2011.

She was last seen by a neighbour just after 8.30am in Elsie Street, walking towards Albert Avenue.

Detectives are investigating information about a sighting of a young female in a car in Boronia Road between 8.30am and 9am on the morning Bung went missing.

The information suggests that a female was seen in the rear passenger seat of a white EA to EF model Ford Falcon station wagon.

The car was reportedly driven by a male of Caucasian appearance, who was described as being in his late 50s to early 60s and was wearing a blue singlet. He had light brown hair which was combed back in what was described as a rock and roll style.

He also had a coloured tattoo on his left upper arm.

The car was sighted at traffic lights in Boronia Road, Boronia, facing east at the inter-

section of Floriston Road, just east of Dorset Road. It was then seen travelling east along Boronia Road and continued straight through the roundabout at Albert Road.

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter said while investigators couldn’t confirm the girl in the vehicle was Bung; it was something that they needed assistance with.

“The sighting may well be completely innocent, but it is relevant to us and we need to investigate it,” Detective Insp Potter said.

“It’s now been three years since Bung left home and failed to arrive at school that day and has not been seen or heard from since.

“We continue to hold grave fears for her safety and are desperate to provide her family with some answers.

In the early stages of the investigation, detectives received information which suggested Bung had been seen walking along Harcourt Road, crossed Paisley Avenue and was heading towards Moncoe Street around 8.55am.

Pursuit follows quite a test drive A STOLEN car covered a lot of ground last week when it was taken from a Berwick car dealership after a man asked for a test drive.

On Monday 26 May, a 23-year-old man from Cranbourne and a 25-year-old woman from Kilsyth went to Barry Bourke Holden last week and drove away a 2014 orange Holden Maloo worth around $80,000.

On Wednesday 28 May, the Maloo was spotted in Berwick and there was a police pursuit which started in Narre Warren, went through Emerald then Belgrave and finished in Knox.

The air wing was out and the car was dumped at the Westfield Knox shopping centre before the pair took off on foot.

Both Emerald and Belgrave police took part in the pursiut - and members from Emerald were the first to lay hands on the male offender as he was arrested.

The man and woman were arrested a short time after and charged with theft of the Maloo as well as offences related to their driving behaviour.

THE long-awaited UT CRASH project is finally a step closer to getting started, thanks to $1 million funding from the Yarra Ranges Council.

The funding is part of a $2 million policy which would see money allocated to sporting pavilion improvements each year.

The policy also includes Belgrave South Community Sports Pavilion and Don Road Soccer and Netball Pavilion.

Mayor Fiona McAllister said the council had conducted an audit of sports pavilions last year and found that many were inadequate.

“Most were built in the ’60s and ’70s in a time when things were different,” she said.

“Many don’t have suitable change rooms for women or umpires.”

The UT CRASH committee is

thrilled with the news, and celebrated last week at their Upwey facility.

The funding will mean that 23 community groups, including sporting clubs and other organisations will have a new home.

“This project is going to cost roughly $2.5 million,” committee member Andrew Peterson said.

“Confirmed funding includes $250,00 from the Dandenong Ranges Community Bank, $500,000 from the Federal Government and $250,000 from members in cash and kind.

“So it’s great the council is also supporting the project too.”

Mr Peterson said the group had also contacted the State Government and was hoping they would chip in $500,00 for the project.

The hub will also include a designated Neighbourhood Safer Place, which will serve as a meeting place for the community in the event of a

Your opinions are sought OVER the past few weeks, each level of government has handed down their budget for the 2014 to 2015 financial year.

Premier Denis Napthine and State Treasurer Michael O’Brien handed down the Victorian Budget, which I am pleased to say has included many investments that will benefit the Yarra Ranges.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey have delivered their first Federal Budget and along with 78 other local councils, Yarra Ranges Council delivered its draft budget and council plan, which is currently open to public submission.

While the media is abuzz with the budget announcements of the State and Federal Governments which will be debated in Parliament over the coming weeks, I would encourage ratepayers to look at their council’s budget also.

Each year councils conduct consultation with residents and other stakeholders to seek their views about budget options for the coming year and beyond.

Lantern Fest

By REBECCA BILLS FOR the first time the idyllic 8th Belgrave Lantern Festival is on the actual day of the Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year.

Marking the midst of winter, event organiser Amy Middleton said the event marks the heralds turning point with new beginnings celebrated coming into warmer and longer days in the lead up to Spring.

“The parade signifies a new star, something fresh and new as well as looking forward to the spring and saying goodbye to the winter that has passed,” she said.

“That ethos goes back years and year to medieval times but for Belgrave specially celebrating moving forward is a wonderful thing.”

Another event organiser and Executive Director at Burrinja Ross Farnell said in the lead up to the event they are really focussing on getting community groups, organisations and anyone who is inspired to create their own big lanterns this year to get involved.

“This making the parade more spectacular than ever,” he said.

Each year the Lantern Parade brings together the Hills community in a celebration of friendship and creativity with the street reclaimed for the people with thousands flocking to take part with hundreds of lanterns lining the main street.

Ms Middleton said this is a community driven event that encompasses the community spirit that is typically Belgrave.

“In the previous years there have been up to 7000 people involved in the event,” she said.

“It really had that grassroots community feel and it’s all about bringing the residents together and its one of the few events that the whole family can be involved in.”

The Belgrave Lantern Parade is on Saturday 21 June along the Main Street.

For more information about the event, visit www.belgravelanterns.org.au.

Fire victims set to build A SWEEPING change to the Bushfire Management Overlay will bring a fairer system for landowners in the Yarra Ranges, with issues that locked land from development set to be resolved.

On Wednesday 28 May Planning Minister Matthew Guy outlined a number of changes to the BMO, which he had adopted after a long consultation.

The changes, which include provisions for bunkers and fixing vegetation clearance rules, will come as a relief

same situation and we have heard some terrible stories.”

Under the BMO changes, vegetation clearance obligations will be limited to a property’s boundary, where before it hadn’t been restricted.

A clarification will also be added to the overlay, which outlines that existing homes can be rebuilt without having to meet the overlay’s conditions, as a new home would.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Fiona McAllister said that the changes acknowledge people’s rights to live in bushy areas, such as those around the Dan-

denong Ranges, while still mitigating bushfire risk.

“It looks, at this point, as if it will resolve all the issues for those building in BMO areas,” she said.

“For all of the people who have been fighting for years to achieve this, it is an incredible outcome.”

The council had long advocated for a change to the BMO after being unable to issue planning permits to landowners affected by the overlay.

The BMO was developed as a result of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal

PJ kids were dancing the night away

By MELISSA MEEHAN IT’S a disco for the kids, by the kids.

Cockatoo’s disco is ramping up again to celebrate the end of term and the kids are already excited.

On 27 June, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm children of all ages are invited to attend the disco dressed up in PJ theme.

On Friday, Bree, Gryphen, Evie, Ruby, Sian, Matt and Jack ran a dress rehearsal, already excited for the event.

Dressed in their onesies, Evie and Ruby said they couldn’t wait for the disco.

“It’s really exciting,” Evie said.

“We run the disco, so we have people being the DJ, working in the kitchen, others take ticket sales.”

The non-for-profit event aims to give the children of Cockatoo something to do, and to look forward to.

Evie’s mum Kathy Brown said she helped with setting the hall up, as well as paying for the technology needed to get the event up and running.

“The kids do it all, it’s so good for them,” she said.

“Not only are they doing something for the community but they are learning how business works, too.

“All the money raised from the night, goes towards making the next one bigger and better.”

It will be held at Cockatoo Hall, and costs $5 for kids while parents are free.

For more information see the Cockatoo Disco Facebook page.

Bree, Gryphen, Evie, Ruby, Sian, Matt and Jack are ready to rock the dance floor.

YARRA Valley Water is inviting 60 of its Selby customers to have their say about sewer options for their area in a survey.

General Manager Sustainable Development Sam Austin said the consultation gives customers a chance to put forward their views on whether they would like to be part of the sewage backlog program and urged customers to take part.

“We want to know how many people support the provision of a reticulated sewer system to the area instead of using a septic tank system,” Mr Austin said.

“While work is being undertaken by South East Water in neighbouring areas, it seems like an opportune time to have the conversation and hear people’s views.

Orange role is in the offing

By ANEEKA SIMONIS CAN you see yourself in orange?

That is the question being posed by Emerald’s State Emergency Service’s (SES) Acting Controller Ben Owen as he opens the door to new team members.

A volunteer recruitment night is being held at the Emerald unit on Monday 16 June to invite new members to learn about or join the vital community group.

The Victorian SES plays a critical role in community safety, with more than 5000 volunteers across the state.

The Emerald SES group has about 20 members and would like to double that number after the recruitment night.

“More hands make light work,” Mr Owen said.

SES volunteers come from all walks

of life, and are joined by a common desire to give back to the community.

Peter and Mary Copp joined after their recent retirement.

“The SES is a great place to meet new and exciting people and Emerald unit always welcomes newcomers,” Mr Owen said.

Local SES heroes serve their communities 24 hours a day, seven days a week against bushfires, flood, storm, earthquakes along with road incidence response and search-and-rescue operations.

Volunteers receive accredited, recognised training as part of their role, which may include rescue skills, chainsaw operations, educating the public or securing a roof in a storm.

Mr Owen said volunteers were inte-

gral to the state’s emergency response strategy.

“It is vital to keep the SES running.

Governments would have to find alternative ways to respond to emergencies,” he said.

Emerald SES services Selby, Belgrave, Belgrave South, Upwey, Tecoma, Upper Ferntree Gully, Sassafras, Olinda, Monbulk, Gembrook, Cockatoo, Upper Beaconsfield as well as Emerald itself.

Those who can see themselves in orange should make sure they attend the recruitment night at the Emerald unit to learn about the opportunity to join the vital community service group.

The Emerald SES recruitment night is being held at the corner of Old Gembrook and Sherriff roads, Emerald, on Monday 16 June at 7.30pm.

Emerald SES volunteers welcome newcomers to the vitally important community group. 121160

Opinion

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

IT HAS recently come to my attention that a member of the local community who opposes McDonald’s has been charged for chalking on the footpath near the vacant land next to that franchise.

The charge is “bill posting” and the chalking was done with normal removable blackboard chalk.

I myself have recently had cause to talk to Belgrave Police about two serious incidents.

One was an unprovoked assault against a protester. I witnessed the assault and twice called police, who did not attend the incident.

At my insistence they did speak to the victim on my phone.

There was some follow-up with the victim who accepted an apology from the perpetrator.

The other incident involved abuse of a sexual nature directed at me on a pro-Maccas website.

My face was also posted next to the vile abuse.

The police stated they were unable to prosecute over the abuse as it hasn’t been ongoing.

I ask this community how the local McDonald’s store in Tecoma can summon a police presence in a matter of minutes?

Who are the police working for?

If they were receiving free or discounted food from the store, would this be a conflict of interest?

Why isn’t everyone who puts up a sign for a garage sale prosecuted?

There seems to be a definite waste of a community service if serious crimes are not attended, but someone chalking on a footpath is able to be charged.

Alisha Cruse, Upwey.

TAFE a fire sale THE current sale of Lilydale TAFE and university at Lilydale by the Napthine Government will be a fire sale as we all lose on the destruction of this magnificent purpose-built educational facility.

It is a repeat of the Kennett-era large waste/ loss of the closure of many schools including the Ferntree Gully technical college.

Well done on ice

What’s in a name?

YOUR article on the meth or ice crisis we are facing was well-written and well-researched.

Something I would like my pre-teens to read.

Thanks so much.

Karen Rook, Tecoma.

I AM writing in reference to your, “Rediscover Monbulk” feature in the recent Mail. I am not a serial letter writer, nor am I a stickler, quibbler or nit-picker, but I do think that readers should be given accurate information in their newspapers.

The headline shouts, “Jenny’s Shoppe has it all” and it may well have. However, the shop is not called “Jenny’s Shoppe,” since “Jenny’s Shoppe” closed its doors, the shop with its name no longer existed.

A new shop was opened that year and after some “discussions” it was named “Jenny’s Shoppe Monbulk.”

The advertising feature contains a number of inaccuracies; as I said earlier, it is not ”Jenny’s Shoppe.”

It did not re-open. It has not been in business for 34 years. All up it is referred to as “Jenny’s Shoppe” three times and “Jenny’s Shoppe Monbulk”, its correct name, only once.

To most people, this may not seem like an important issue, but to some people it most certainly is.

AS COLD AS ICE

Ser vices not straightforward

By KATH GANNAWAY TRYING to get a handle on what services are available in Yarra Ranges for drug users and for families affected by drug use is not simple or conclusive.

The Mail’s plan to print a comprehensive list of the services available town by town has proven problematic.

The timing is out with a ‘recommissioning’ by the government of services across the state putting the whole sector in a state of flux.

Basically the services are up for tender, with a push for larger consortiums.

In the meantime some services are no longer available.

“Are you talking about right now, or after the ‘recommissioning’ ... because after the recommissioning, nobody re-

ally knows what services will be available, or if they will be centralised, outreach or some other model,” is how one provider put it.

EACH (Eastern Access Community Health), Anglicare, Inspiro Health and Yarra Valley Community Health (Eastern Health) are among the main players in providing drug and alcohol counselling and rehabilitation services in Yarra Ranges.

Larger providers are seeing the ‘revamping of the sector’ in a more positive light pointing out that the existing service provision is hard to navigate and that people in need of multiple services can fall through the gaps.

Smaller providers such as the Maroondah Addictions Recovery Program

(MARP) have pulled out of the race as an independent and merged under larger umbrellas.

The conversations “off the record” reveal other concerns - such as no methodone program in Healesville. Anyone needing that service must go to Wandin or Lilydale.

“The community still has very punitive views which often means chemists, and even GPs don’t want to offer a service that is seen as bad for business, or for their staff,” one provider told the Mail.

Rehabilitation is another problem with long waiting lists, and according to one provider, closing off waiting lists, for residential treatment.

A spokesman for the Minister for

Mental Health and Community Services Mary Wooldridge told the Mail the outcome of the recommissioning for drug and alcohol services would be announced in the near future.

There are services still running in Healesville, Yarra Junction, Belgrave and Lilydale.

The ‘help line’ numbers published in last week’s Mail remain the best at this stage.

Direct Line 1800 888 236 is a 24/7 first response information and referral help line for users and others impacted by drug use.

SURE (Substance Use Recovery Eastern) 1300 007 873 offers counselling for ICE and other addictions. Business hours.

What is it?

ICE and crystal meth are street names for crystal methamphetamine – a very powerful amphetamine.

It looks a little like sheets of glass or ice and people smoke, snort or inject it. It’s also called meth, crystal, shabu and glass.

Dance with the devil

By REBECCA BILLS “IT’S LIKE you are two different people – the devil and you.”

This is how former ice user Jason (not his real name) describes his experience with the drug.

“And I can say now that the last thing I would ever do is get back on the ice,” he said.

“Your brain would be that wired for days after that you don’t feel human.

“It’s the devil’s drug, that’s what people are calling it, it really is f**king people.”

The 24-year-old said it got to the stage where he could not even go for a night out without a pipe.

“You go to a cubicle and have a burn then go back out – it’s just like going to the toilets and snorting some coke,” he said.

“The motion is addictive, so is the high.”

However this is not a drug that is just circling the nightclub industry, young teenagers are getting their hands on it too.

“There is a big problem, I’ve seen kids as young as 15 on the drug, in saying that I first tried it when I was 16,” he said.

“Depending on your friendship group, there is a lot of pressure, and I would say it has become part of the social culture in this area to at least try it and it is very easy to get your hands on.”

Jason said ice prices had decreased over the last few years, making it more accessible.

“You would be paying, depending on how good the quality was, between $800 to $1000 a gram, but now it’s around $400 to $500 a gram,” he said.

When asked where people get the money to feed the addiction he said “you tell me”.

“That’s where crime does come into it – stealing generally from their family and friends as they just need that hit,” he said.

“I know people that would rather spend their last $100 on a few points of ice than go to the supermarket and have food for the week.

“They just want more and more and more, it’s sad.”

He said although he only dabbled in the drug, his brother was an addict for about five years.

“It was really getting the better of him these last few years though,” he said.

“He could even start to see the changes, he wasn’t liking it, he wasn’t happy.

“For him to cut it out of his life he had to cut out the people that were still doing it, and that still hurts him.”

Jason said he watched as the drug took hold of his older brother, a man he looked up to, and the distress that caused him personally.

“He became very moody, and relied on the drug to get him to work,” he said.

“It wasn’t a good sight, he would stay up for three to four days at a time then sleep for two days straight – it was very upsetting.

“And I guess for young people wanting to try ice you can’t really stop them, but at the end of the day I can say from experience it is no good.”

Ice effects SHORT TERM: INCREASED heart rate and breathing, hypertension, circulatory and heart problems. It increases libido, so users are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour resulting in an increased risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Seeing the pain up close

By JESSE GRAHAM STORIES about the damage that ice can cause are often told by police, medical officers and paramedics, who have seen first-hand the destruction and chaos that the drug can bring.

But much of the sentiments about the drug’s destructive capabilities have been echoed by James (not his real name), a resident in the outer east who has previously used the drug.

James, who is in his twenties, told the Mail that, when he had used crystal methamphetamine (ice), the experience left him feeling dirty, underwhelmed and “highly strung”.

“It felt dirty – it didn’t feel like a nice experience,” he said.

He said that, while on the drug, it was easy to lose track of entire days, and that coming down from the drug was a “horrendous” experience that could last anywhere up to three days.

James said he felt that experience alone was a deterrent from continuing to use the drug, but that he had also seen people “completely destroyed” by long-term ice use.

“It’s very rapid in that it quickly affects your mind,” he said.

“They had almost developed full-on paranoia – they thought their friends were talking about them when they left the room.

“And as you come down, the paranoia gets more intense, and more intense, and more intense.”

These sentiments were echoed

by Turning Point clinical director Doctor Matt Frei, who told the Mail last week the drug was associated with sleepless nights, paranoia and violent behaviour.

Other emergency services workers have said that violent rages are common for ice users, with stories of users with seemingly the strength of 10 men, and OC foam having no effect on quelling violent rages.

James said that, after experiencing the drug first-hand and seeing the damage it could so easily bring, a brush with ice was not something he wanted to repeat.

LONG TERM: OVER time, ice literally ages people. Injecting it causes scarring, abscesses, vein damage and increases the risk of blood-borne pathogens. Heavy users suffer damaged teeth, skin lesions, malnutrition, reduced lung function and general aches, pains and cramping. Aside from the risk of stroke, it has also been shown to affect mental health and cognitive function – ice addicts suffer paranoia, hallucinations, memory loss, sleep deprivation and psychosis.

How ice changed her man

By MELISSA MEEHAN WHEN Rachel first met him, he was a charming and energetic guy vying for her affection.

They dated for a few months, and while she took no notice of the signs, they were there.

Months after she broke off the relationship, friends said they heard he was on crystal methamphetamine (ice) and it all started to make sense.

“Looking back, I think I was a little blind,” Rachel said.

“He never slept, and could be awake all night but when he did

sleep, he would stay in bed for days.”

She thought nothing of it back then, but added to his obsessive tendencies, she no longer felt comfortable when alone with him.

“He became so obsessive about me, and who I spoke to,” she said.

“It was similar to jealousy, but just a lot more full-on.

“He would turn up at my house late at night, text message me throughout the day and call at all hours.”

While he was never physically

violent towards Rachel, she remembers feeling increasingly scared of him and unsure of what he would do next.

“He became very aggressive, not physically – but he would punch his fist through walls,” she said.

Now, Rachel can’t believe she was in a relationship with an ice user.

“I see all these ice-related murders on the TV and think, that could have been me,” she said.

“He was never that violent, but with this drug, you never know what they will do next.”

How they smell What does a meth lab smell like?

Meth labs can smell like cat urine, rotten eggs, sewer gas, ether, wet diapers, paint thinners, paint removers, adhesives, cleaning fluids, vinegar, pickled foods, cattle feedlots, and fertilisers.

Pirates for night of fun

By ANEEKA SIMONIS LIGHTS, camera, action.

The Burrinja’s Black Box Theatre is gearing up for a night of fun as a 12-strong theatrical troupe performs its creative take on the playhouse classic Pirates of Penzance.

Pirates With Attitude will showcase an amazing musical performance, full of song and dance, by an all-ability group from across the Yarra Ranges on Saturday 28 June.

Co-ordinated by the Dandenong Ranges Music Council (DRMC), the performance follows a series of other productions such as the Circus With Attitude which aims to reshape community impressions about abil-

ity and talent.

“It’s about changing attitudes toward people of all abilities,” DRMC’s Art Administrator Sue Clisby said.

The group, which has an average age of about 30, has been rehearsing every Saturday since the end of April at the Dandenong Ranges Music Council at the Upwey High School.

Ms Clisby said the rehearsals are loaded with colour and fun in between learning new songs and dance routines.

“Each rehearsal is extreme fun... the overall feeling is high on energy and fun.”

The performance will be supported by two local choir groups, the Happy Wanderers and Singularity that will act as backing vocalists and extras.

More than half of the all-abilities performers live in community-supported accommodation or at home with their parents.

Ms Clisby said the Pirates With Attitude rehearsals and performances are an opportunity for these people to get involved in accessible arts-focussed activities, which is often rare in their living situation.

“It is a need area for these folk to have stimulating skill-building activities.

“Once they leave the framework

Battle to help musical souls

By REBECCA BILLS YARRA Ranges youth will be battling it out in this year’s FReeZA Battle of the Bands competition.

Kicking off on Friday 20 June at Montrose Town Centre, last year’s Eastern Metro Regional Final winner Alkali Fly will be taking the stage to show entrants where the competition can take them.

Alkali Fly is the stage name of 20-year-old Croydon solo artist Leroy Birch.

He said the Battle of the Bands helped to kick-start his career in the industry.

Birch said he is excited about performing at this year’s Battle of the Bands.

“I finally get to headline and not worry about competing,” he said.

Participation and Engagement Officer at Yarra Ranges Youth Services Sean Daly said he had fond memories of going along to the FReeZA Battle of the Bands competitions when he was growing up.

“They are safe drug and alcohol free events targeted directly for younger, underage, youth,” he said.

“It’s an exciting place to go and hang out and watch the arts and culture that these young people in this area possess.

“I loved it then and I love it even more now.”

Solo artist Leroy Birch of Alkali Fly will be taking to the stage.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED Mr Daly said the competition reflects the diversity of the young people in the area and also is a lead for the performers for future employment in the industry.

“It is a huge skill building and personal development opportunity for all the artists involved,” he said.

“We think this is a really valuable experience for young artists that can’t play in many licensed venues and often it leads to doors opening in the industry.”

Mr Birch said his biggest piece of advice for all the artists when they are performing is to be themselves.

“I know it’s a terribly cliche

thing to say but it is most important as you are being evaluated not only on your skill but the judges are wanting to see who you are,” he said.

“Also be gracious with whatever happens, the outcome is not necessarily just between you and the judges, it’s the fans and the people behind the scenes that need to also be thought about.

“Take on board what the judges are saying, it’s not criticism, it’s nothing more than constructive evaluations and they really are trying to help you, ultimately.”

Each FReeZA committee that hosts a heat is supported to ensure that FReeZA Push Start is not only a platform for young performers but a platform for young event organisers and promoters alike.

The overall winner from each heat will go on to compete at the regional finals and be in the running to perform at the Grand Final which is held at the annual Push Over festival in March.

Alkali Fly will be performing on Friday 20 June at Montrose Town Centre.

The event is running from 6.30pm to 10.30pm with tickets $10 at the door.

of schools there is a lack of opportunities such as Pirates With Attitude.

“Whilst it is a fun-time at rehearsals, the team of director, music therapist and dance therapist are also building confidence, delivery, microphone technique and socialising skills with the participants,” she said.

Yarra Range Council provided the funding for the performance through the Arts, Culture and Heritage Grant which aims to bolster local art.

For tickets, contact the Dandenong Ranges Music Council on 9754 6566 or on drmc@drmc.org. au.

Strong themes run through it

Talent blows school trumpet

By MONIQUE KUZEFF FAIRHILLS High School has a lot to be proud of with the outstanding accomplishments of its music students and their dedication in their music rehearsals.

Music students Connor Davidson on clarinet and flute players Ashleigh Rowe, Jayde Hunkin and Naoya Irie were selected to perform in the North Eastern Victoria Region Youth Concert.

The Regional Youth Concert, which is to be held in one of Melbourne’s best performance venues, Hamer Hall, aims to showcase the diverse musical talent throughout the region.

Fairhills High School music teacher Nicole McAlister said the students dedicated three days to rehearsal, sound check and the concert which was held by The Department of Education on Wednesday evening.

“They were extremely hard working in their practice and dedicated two days for rehearsal,” she said.

“They were nominated on their merit, work ethic, music abilities and also on their progress and commitment.”

Ms McAlister said that the concert is a wonderful opportunity for music students and that she is very proud of her students for taking the opportunity and making the effort.

“They were absolutely fantastic in their performance.”

Ms McAlister said more than 600 talented students participated in the event by performing in the concert band, choirs and orchestras.

“There were hundreds of students there that were nominated from various other schools,” she said.

CAMEO Cinemas in Belgrave is saddling up for its debut screening of award-winning feature film The Man From Coxs River.

Showing for a week starting on 15 June, the film documents the journey of an experienced horseman as he sets out to save a pack of wild brumbies inhabiting the Burragorang Valley wilderness.

Considered feral pests, the wild horses live along a sealed catchment area that provides Sydney’s water supply.

In the film, the National Parks head office commissions Megalong Valley horseman Luke Carlon with the difficult task of safely relocating the brumbies from the catchment area.

Luke spends four months gaining the trust of the wild horses before he successfully traps and begins to take them on their dangerous, long journey to safety.

Directed by Russell Kilbey and his wife Amy Scully, the hour and a half feature film is about more than just the difficult journey at hand. It also deals with reconciliation.

Luke grew up taking tourists on horse trips along the Coxs River, a place where his family had ridden since the 1820s.

The area was declared a wildness area about 20 years ago which killed off his family business and gave birth to a difficult history between the Carlons and the National Parks office.

But when park ranger Chris Banffy needs Luke’s help, the pair begin to see the world though each other’s eyes as they work together on a joint effort to help protect the land and wildlife.

The film also asks a lot of difficult questions about ownership and belonging, Mr Kilbey said.

“The brumbies themselves are almost a metaphor for white settlement... do we belong here?”

Mr Kilbey will hold a popular question and answer session after the screening in Belgrave to allow the audience to unpack and discuss the dense themes of the film.

A Little bit about me:

Eve is a gentle and cuddly smooch would love nothing more than to have a bed or a couch to sleep on!

Due to her white skin, she would need to be an inside only cat but we don’t think she will mind! Her perfect household would be one where she can get lots of love, and she would be good with older children.

Marcus is a big, bold boy and is such a delight to have around the Cattery. He loves exploring his surroundings and you’ll most likely find him wandering around smooching up to staff and volunteers. He would be great for most households and he would prefer older children.

Lovable Lucy is sharp as a tack, she is always looking for the next adventure that you can go on together. She is looking for an active family that has the time to give her plenty of exercise and stimulation, and show her that there is a place for high speed fun and a time to relax.

Blaize is in great shape for his age, he finds everything in life to be one big game, that may even extend to doing what he’s told. He is very set in his ways and will need someone who is pretty dog savvy to not let this clever cookie take the lead.

Last-minute push to victor y YVMDFNL First Division Seniors Upwey Tecoma 8.9 (57) d Emerald 8.6 (54) EMERALD almost pulled off the upset of the season but fell agonizingly short as Upwey came from behind to steal victory.

Emerald was certainly the better side in the first half and despite the scores being low it created more opportunities and went into half time with a 14 point lead.

The third term was a tough encounter but it was Upwey that clawed its way back and probably should have had the lead at the last break as it was a touch wasteful however it did reduce Emerald’s lead to just four points.

The last quarter was a battle of defence but it was Upwey that somehow managed two goals to one to sink Emerald’s dream of a huge upset at the final siren as Upwey triumphed by three points and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Best Upwey Tecoma: P. Broecker (1), S. Brotja, S. Gooley.

Emerald: J. Davis (2), M. Dompietro, L. McKenna.

Mount Evelyn 18.13 (121) d Belgrave 16.9 (105) THIS was a great win from Mount Evelyn which was arguably outplayed to a degree in the first half as Belgrave took a three goal lead into the long break.

There was 21 goals scored in the first half of this game in what was a great spectacle to watch.

The third quarter did belong to Mount Evelyn as it attacked relentlessly scoring an inaccurate 5.8 for the term but that was enough to grab a five point lead at the last change to set up a big last quarter.

The last quarter saw goals all of a sudden harder to come by as both teams started to fatigue but it was Mount Evelyn that actually looked the fitter side in the late stages which proved the difference as it booted four goals to two to win impressively by 16 points.

Best Mount Evelyn: J. Fellows, R. Hartfield (7), W. Lees.

Belgrave: P. Gough (1), R. McKendry (1), D. Collins.

Olinda Ferny Creek 14.13 (97) d Monbulk 10.14 (74) OLINDA now sits one game clear on top of the ladder after eventually seeing of a Monbulk side in the last quarter.

Olinda started well with a five goal to two term to grab a 16 point lead but Monbulk booted four goals to two in the second and it was Olinda by just eight points at half time.

The third quarter was a beauty as neither side could get a substantial break but it was Monbulk that had just a slight edge booting three goals to two and at the last change the scores were all tied up.

What was looking like a nail biting last term actually turned out to be Olinda’s best quarter as it finished full of run, slotting through five majors while Monbulk could only scrounge the one goal which saw Olinda win by 23 points in good style.

Best Olinda Ferny Creek: N. Keegan (3), D. Rohrmann (2), B. O’Neill (3).

Monbulk: S. Koole (1), J. Major, B. Hicken.

Second Division Seniors Seville 25.20 (170) d Kinglake 5.5 (35) AFTER a reasonably competitive first

Gembrook’s Brad Porter is tackled by Matt Sword from Yarra Junction in Saturday’s Division Two match that Picture: KATH GANNAWAY saw the Brookers go down by 14 points. 121458 quarter this game was all Seville, it held a six goal lead at half time.

But that was actually flattering to Kinglake as Seville did waste a lot of opportunities and its margin should have been greater.

Seville certainly straightened up in the second half as it did what it pleased scoring a very accurate 18.6 with Kane Jones having a field day finishing with 12 majors.

Kinglake could only manage another two goals in the second half.

Seville now sits second on the ladder and only percentage off top spot - it has a chance to take top spot if it

can knock off Yarra Glen next week in what should be a great encounter.

Best Seville: L. Nash (2), K. Jones (12), C. Penwill (3).

Kinglake: M. Robertson (1), J. Butterworth, B. Brown.

Yarra Junction 16.12 (108) d Gembrook Cockatoo 14.10 (94) THIS game started at a frenetic pace with 14 goals scored in the first quarter.

It was Junction that held sway at the first change by 14 points, booting 8.3 to 6.1.

The second quarter belonged to

Gembrook as it slotted through six majors and held Junction to just one behind and Gembrook all of a sudden held a 22 point half-time lead.

The third term was a reverse of the second as Gemrook didn’t score a major and Junction booted four goals - which was enough to give it a four point three quarter time lead.

Both sides had eight shots on goal in the last but it was Junction that rammed home its opportunities scoring four last quarter goals to two to win by a hard fought 14 points.

Best Gembrook Cockatoo: L. McCombe

Mum’s the word on everyone’s lips Good ones make THIS week’s Yarra Ranges Athletics Cross Country events will be long remembered as ‘Mums Day Out’ due to outstanding performances by four mums.

The venue was Margaret Lewis Reserve, Coldstream, and the fine weather meant the scene was set for these warriors who had been putting in extra work to be rewarded with big personal bests.

Erika Bedyn, Katie Clark and Kate Van Duuren all powered through the fast three kilometre course while Laura Digregorio pushed the limits in the two-kilometre race.

These mums are an inspiration to all who watched them but, more importantly, they inspire their children.

With the senior runners on AV duties the remaining runners took the opportunity to have their time in the sun with most enjoying being higher up in the finishing order and most children saluted with personal bests.

Meanwhile the senior athletes from Yarra Ranges competed in the round three of the Athletics Victoria XCR season held at Brimbank Park, featuring the infamous Col de Brimbank.

The first race of the day was the under 14 men’s and women’s and under 20 women’s event over four kilometres.

Yarra Ranges picked up another win as Lily Peacock won her second consecutive gold in this year’s individual XCR races in a quick time of 14.25.

Other exceptional efforts in the 14 wom-

en’s were to Brooke Mullins (sixth) in a time of 15.34, Ruby Dixon (14th) in a time of 16.25 and Lee Taylor (25th) with a time of 20.38.

In the 14 men’s, Yarra Ranges had Harrison Van Duuren and Ryan Thrall compete with both achieving excellent results.

Harrison placed eighth with a time of 15.00 and Ryan placed 19th with a time of 16.26.

Emilie Harrison (20 women’s) was the oldest athlete competing in the four kilometre event, clocking a very good time of 22.17 and placing 22nd.

The next event was the men’s 16 and 20 and women’s 16 and 18 event over six kilometres.

This race was the first to conquer the famous Col de Brimbank and had athletes running across almost all areas of the park.

Yarra Ranges had yet another quality field of athletes taking on the challenging but enjoyable course.

In the 16 women’s Britney Allen (14th) ran a fast time of 29.07 over the challenging, varied terrain.

The 16 men’s had James Laven and Connor Thrall compete.

James placed 10th with a time of 22.45 and Connor placed 19th with a time of 25.57.

The 18 women’s race featured Olivia Twining earn her eighth place and a time of 28.14.

The open women’s six kilometre’s race

Branson achieved a time of 27.48, a gallant effort after sustaining an injury mid-race and McCall ran an excellent race achieving a very good time of 33.11.

The open men’s race ran a challenging 16 kilometres course that featured the Col de Brimbank not once, but twice.

A large team of Yarra Ranges athletes fronted the club in a race with an electric atmosphere.

The crowds flooded to the Col, to watch as the men ran.

Michael Clarke was first home from Yarra Ranges with a fast time of 1.05.32, next was Bryan Ackerly with a time of 1.07.01, followed by Dave Sands with a running time of 1.13.52, Jamie Strudley ran in at 1.17.02, followed by Jed Thrall who ran 1.18.34.

Dave Laven was next to finish at 1.19.35 on the clock, followed by Craig Hewitson recording a time of 1.25.40 followed by Mark Beavis running 1.35.33.

Yarra Ranges Athletics returns on Saturday 7 June for round nine Cross Country at Lilydale Lake from 8.45am.

Newcomers are welcome.

it look oh so easy

By DENNIS FULLER WITH the last gasp of autumn wafting across Emerald Golf Club last Saturday, a gentle, or supposedly gentle, game of stableford was on the agenda.

Leading and loving the agenda was Peter Glasscock (18), who is proving that his 18 handicap makes the game a snap when he wandered in with a cool 43 points to win easily in B Grade and overall.

A Grade was headed by a consistent player in Dean Shannon (16) whose 39 topped the heap with ease.

Ian Scott (28) managed 38 points and Leigh Morison (17) came in with 37 and the rest of the field was lost in the sunshine and scrub.

Tim Martin, making a return to golf after a layoff, played only for nearest the pins.

He made a meal of these on his way to 75 off the stick

by being nearest the pin on the Stockdale and Leggo fourth, seventh and the pro pin 18th.

Broc Reynolds snuck one past on the 13th as did Mark Jasper on the 12th.

An easy win saw a smiling Brianna McCoy in the ladies’ competition followed in at a respectful distant by the second placer in Gracie White.

Ben Balfour (20) made a meal of the rest of the Obsessively Ferocious Golfers in the OFG competition when his 43 stableford points allowed him the bragging rights over all others.

Moss Fuller (20) was the nearest to him with 36 points.

Next Saturday is the annual long hole competition where some holes are joined together to make very, very long holes with the chances of disaster increased to alarming levels.

Great game throughout YVMDFNL First Division A Grade Netball Woori Yallock 43 d Warburton Millgrove 37 THIS was a really good game throughout with no more than two goals separating the sides in the first three quarters.

Woori held a one goal lead at quarter time, extended that to just two at half time and then Warby reversed that margin at three quarter time as it took a two goal lead on the back of a 16 goal to 12 third term.

Woori’s last quarter was of very good defensive quality as it only allowed Warby three goals for the quarter as it hit 11 to win by six goals in what was a very impressive victory.

Best - Woori Yallock: E. Hales, C. Stafford, P. Stewart (36).

Warburton Millgrove: K. Wappett, A. Bryan, O. Caneva (16).

Upwey’s James Brooks is taking on the top challenge. 121430 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Player sets a high rugby bar

By JARROD POTTER UPWEY isn’t renowned for its rugby league talent but that might change with the emergence of state player James Brooks.

Brooks, 16, from Upwey, has made the Victorian team and is set to challenge the rest of the Combined Affiliated States Schoolboys Championships in Adelaide over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

Brooks earned his place in the squad after a stellar season playing for the Waverley Panthers and his school, Hallam Senior College.

He was thrilled to make the schoolboy team and hoped Victoria could hold aloft the Sam Davey Plate again this year.

“Probably to win it - that would definitely be good - we’ve got the side to do it,” Brooks said.

“It’s really good to play alongside my school mates as well.”

Heading back and forth between Hallam, Waverley and home makes for a lot of travel but Brooks knows this is the best option to help hone his rugby skills further.

State duties aren’t a new phenomenon for Brooks after he represented School Sports

Victoria in the under-12 rugby league team in 2009.

“It was awesome when we went to Canberra,” Brooks said.

“We didn’t go too well, didn’t win a game, but it was a good experience to verse all the other states - New South Wales, Queensland - all of them.”

Brooks won’t be the sole Hallam representative in the team with eight other Hallam schoolboys set to don the Victorian colours and attempt to win their sixth successive Sam Davey Plate.

Hallam Senior College Head of Rugby League Jamie Fardell said Brooks and his school mates are exceptional players and they can win the championship and earn spots in the combined state’s team for the national championships.

“We’re definitely stoked and when they (the school) hear how many of the boys are playing at a higher level, I think they’re quite surprised,” Fardell said.

“Our dominance at this tournament can continue and we’re hoping out of the Victorian team that we can get 13 boys to go away to Darwin.”

Belgrave 61 d Mount Evelyn 51 IN WHAT was a very competitive game, it was Belgrave that got the jump early and went to a seven goal lead at the first change.

It continued its good form in the second quarter and extended that lead to 12 goals by half time.

The second half was goal for goal and Mount Evelyn did threaten on occasions but Belgrave always answered the challenge to keep it at arm’s length and to run out pretty good 10 goal victors.

Best - Belgrave: K. Robinson, L. Bennett (43), B. Pilkington.

Mount Evelyn: R. Hickey (32), J. Maher, J. Walker.

Wandin 77 d Healesville 37 HEALESVILLE’S form has been pretty good of late but it was brought back to reality as Wandin handed it a very heavy defeat.

The first quarter was competitive as Wandin went to a five goal lead at the first break but after that it was just about all oneway traffic for Wandin.

It scored 21 goals to eight in the second quarter to go 18 goals up at half time.

Healesville did battle hard in the third and as only outscored by four goals but Wandin saved its best for last as it finished the day with a 21 goal to three last term to finish the day with some

fine polish.

Best - Wandin: M. Martinov (38), J. Cullimore (38), T. Coppinger.

Healesville: C. Duncan, C. Jeffress, C. Connell.

Upwey Tecoma 92 d Emerald 16 UPWEY weren’t in a very forgiving mood right from the outset as it jumped out of the blocks and raced to a 17 goal lead at the first break.

Things didn’t improve for Emerald in the second as Upwey was completely dominant all over the court. By half time its lead had blown out to 35 goals.

The second half was a nightmare for Emerald as Upwey continued its brilliant form adding another 47 goals while Emerald only found the ring six times.

Best- Upwey Tecoma: J. Lingard (36), K. Tomlinson, M. Kennerley (56).

Emerald: L. Moses, S. MacDonald, E. Borg.

Olinda Ferny Creek 61 d Monbulk Hawks 38 A GOOD solid four quarter performance from Olinda produced a very nice 23 goal victory.

It started well and had a nine goal lead at the first change.

Olinda’s form was even throughout as it slowly increased the lead at every change.

Monbulk did have plenty of the ball but it just couldn’t match Olinda’s attack to make this game a real contest.

At the end of the day it was the consistency of effort that rewarded Olinda with a good victory.

Best - Olinda Ferny Creek: L. Conway, A. Padget, D. Portarianos.

Monbulk Hawks: K. Toone, A. Barwick, S. Byatt (21).

Second Division A Grade Netball Seville 37 d Kinglake 20 SEVILLE had a battle on its hands early as Kinglake took it up to it in the first half.

Kinglake led by one goal at the first break but Seville managed to squeeze itself in front in the second quarter going to half time with a four goal lead.

Seville got its game going in the third as it held Kinglake to three goals and it shot 12 to take a 13 goal lead into the last break.

Kinglake did battle out hard in the last quarter but it was Se-

ville with just a touch more class that shone through to see it run out 17 goal victors in what was a very defensive game from both sides.

Best - Seville: M. Wyatt, S. Bell, A. Hardy.

Kinglake: C. McMahon, M. Gill, E. Coen.

Yea 46 d Alexandra 26 ALEXANDRA started this game well and held a four goal lead at the first break but Yea quickly turned that around in the second as it scored 14 goals to five to take a five goal lead into the half.

The third term went goal for goal as both teams scored nine goals and it was still Yea by five goals at the last change.

Yea’s last quarter was of high quality with its defense superb, holding Alex to just two goals while it put 17 through the ring to win by what was eventually a comfortable 20 goals.

Best - Yea: A. Akers (35), J. Graham, L. Hearn.

Alexandra: R. Wallis (11), N. Stewart, L. Steyger.

Yarra Glen 55 d Powelltown 34 YARRA GLEN has taken all before it so far this season and it still remains undefeated after disposing of Powelltown by 21 goals on the back of a good second half.

Yarra Glen looked the better side early in this game as it moved the ball quickly and jumped to a six goal lead at quarter time.

However Powelltown found some good run in the second quarter scoring 18 goals to 13 and half time the scores were tied at 25 all.

Yarra Glen is a very classy outfit and that showed in the second half as it really controlled the ball well and was just way more efficient than Powelltown.

It scored 30 second half goals while Powelltown could only manage nine.

In a game that was a good battle for a half it was Yarra Glen that still came out very comfortable winners.

Best -Yarra Glen: G. Taylor (43), C. Birchall, E. Kay (12).

Powelltown: L. Sandy, D. Barber, A. Dunford.

Yarra Junction: bye Thornton Eildon: bye
