“However, the good thing about the Australians was that we were trained jungle fighters, so we were able to cope. “Some of the allied forces didn’t have the same skills or understanding of the jungle as we did and that made us a significant concern for the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong.�

in Vietnam lasted 10 years (1962 to 1972), the longest in our nation’s history, with almost 60,000 Australian soldiers serving in Vietnam.

During those 10 years, 521 Australians died and more than 3000 were injured with many of the soldiers sent to Vietnam were sons of the soldiers who fought in WWII and the grandsons of Gallipoli veterans.

IT MAY be a case of too little, too late but the RSL is determined to never make the same mistake again.

Vietnam veteran Roger Boness said for years after the Australian soldiers returned home from Vietnam they felt isolated and ashamed. “We would try and talk to people, but no one was prepared to listen with most RSL’s saying we weren’t welcome there,� he said. “But times have changed and they (the RSL) are very concerned that they didn’t get it right with the Vietnam veterans and they don’t want to make that same mistake again.�

At 21 years of age, Roger was sent to Vietnam in 1966 as part of an artillery unit that was deployed to an infantry unit. “It was my responsibility when we got in contact with the enemy to bring in supporting artillery,� he said. “For my job, I had to map read and to know every minute of the day where we were on the ground - for the 11 months that I was in Vietnam, nine of those months was on the ground.�

Roger said when they got word at how public the war was in Australia and the bitterness from the public, it hurt the soldiers. “We were over there on behalf of our government, in mortal danger, and these people were concerned about their own political agendas and we were used as a tool,� he said.

After his time in the war, Roger said it was quite odd returning home. “In all the previous conflicts, everyone that came back were treated like heroes- there were parades, they were guest speakers all over the place, they were revered,� he said. “But when I landed at Essendon Airport, there was one person there, my mother. “There are no good wars and what you experience is really, really graphic - it’s emblazoned in your mind forever.�

Shot heard around the world

By MELISSA MEEHAN

Many people attended the service to pay their respects for those fallen. 125407 Pictures: MELISSA MEEHAN

IT WAS a day to remember, 100 years since the first Allied shot of the war and Montrose marked its link to that day.

It is believed Montrose resident Major Charles Morris ordered the first Allied shot of World War I to be fired from Point Nepean on 5 August 1914 as a German steamer attempted to escape from Australian waters.

But even that was disputed at Monbulk a century after the historic event on Tuesday, with some claiming it was a man from the navy who ordered the shot.

At a service, a plaque in Major Morris’s honour was unveiled as those present remembered.

Members of the Rotary Club of Montrose and Mount Evelyn RSL were instrumental in the day.

Brigadier Michael Phelps spoke of the lives lost and the meaning of war.

THE story of Lilydale’s first soldier to enlist in World War I will be released at Mount Evelyn’s RSL’s book launch.

Marking the centenary of Anzac, the RSL will launch the true story, “A Stretcher Bearer’s War The Story of Ralph Goode MBE” at Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre on Saturday 16 August at 2pm.

Pieced together based on extracts pulled from his war diaries and letters during his time as a stretcher bearer, the biography will be launched on the day he enlisted to the AIF by a special guest from the Australian Army Medical Corps.

Goode served as a stretcher bearer with the 2nd Field Ambulance in Egypt, at Gallipoli and throughout the Western Front until he returned home to Lilydale in 1918.

An excerpt dated Monday 3 May 1915 during Goode’s time in Gallipoli reads: “I’ve been through hell and out again. Our chaps took a hill and I think still hold it. Some of the wounds are awful, I saw some of our chaps getting up to the

Fyffe MP

trenches. The Turks had a machine gun trained on them, not a man escaped. We worked fifty-five hours without a spell.”

Another tells of his heroism as a stretcherbearer, dated 17 September 1915.

“Of the original one hundred and eight bearers who landed on the 25th of April, only thirty of us came off last Friday. We had fifteen killed and fifty-five wounded, remainder sick,” he wrote.

In Goode’s post-war years, he made a strong impact on the Lilydale community responsible for creating Melba Park and the Lilydale Hospital and was awarded MBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 1954.

The biography was made possible by a grant from the Department of Veteran Affairs through their Centenary of Anzac program.

Guest speakers joining the launch will include Federal Member for Casey Tony Smith MP, Mount Evelyn RSL president Roger Boness and Lilydale RSL president Don Parsons.

Brigade marks milestone with awards

Mail

THE Mount Evelyn Fire Brigade celebrated 75 years of service on Friday 8 August.

Over 130 guests, including current and past brigade members attended the anniversary event which was marked by several service awards presented by CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson.

The Firefighter of the Year award went to Paul Simpson while Luke Roy was pleased to take out the brigade’s Captain Award.

Two Mount Evelyn members were also presented with the Na-

tional Medal Clasps while brigade Captain Jim Armstrong received a National Medal celebrating 25 years of service.

Over the years, Mount Evelyn brigade has attended around 210 calls ranging from bushfires, residential fires and crash sites.

Captain Armstrong said Mount Evelyn residents were in safe hands with the brigade’s high calibre of dedicated firefighters.

“Looking around the room and seeing so many active firefighters of all ages leads me to believe the future is strong for the brigade,” he said.

Give your insurance a health check ARE you getting the most out of your private health insurance?

It’s something we often get asked about.

‘Should I get extras cover for physio? How much will I be covered for? Who is the best fund to go with?

What are the waiting periods? What are my out of pocket expenses going to be?’

Whilst we can’t, and won’t, recommend any particular funds, there are tools available to help you determine which fund is the best fit for you.

1. Start to by comparing policies.

Go to the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman comparison site www.privatehealth.gov.au/dynamic/compare, enter your requirements to receive a list of funds that cover your needs.

Tip: Make sure you tick if you are eligible for restricted funds.

Industry only funds (like teachers, health, defence, health etc) are often the best performing ones for their members.

2. Do you need ancillary cover? If

you just having dental check-ups and rarely go to the physio, osteo or chiro, then don’t bother.

Do the maths yourself but it is likely you will be paying far more in premiums than you will ever receive in benefits.

Tip: Look at what benefits are gained by higher ancillary cover compared to basics.

For example, are you paying an extra $30 per month just so you can claim your custom orthotics once every few years?

3. Once you’ve narrowed down a couple of funds, you can review their performance at www.privatehealth. gov.au/dynamic/healthfundlist.

The industry average for ’benefits as a percentage of contributions’ in 2013 was 86.9 per cent.

If your fund is higher than this, then you are doing well.

Tip: the funds with the highest market share are often the worst performing in this area.

Body

watch Jerome Higgins

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda

4. So now you’ve narrowed it down to a few funds, check out their websites and ask the following questions: - what is the waiting period for different types of treatment?

- what, if any, are the benefit limitation periods? This means that there may be a waiting period on gaining full benefits for some services.

- do you have accrued benefits, credits or equity in your previous fund that can be transferred to a new fund?

Tip: don’t be afraid to haggle! If you have a clear choice between two funds then make sure you tell them this, and ask whether they may be able to waive your waiting period, reduce

Community Diary Film nights YARRA Ranges Film Society is showing the 1987 UK drama A Month in the Country on Tuesday 12 August from 7.30pm at the Mecca Theatre, Warburton, and Tuesday 19 August from 7.30pm at the Memo Theatre, Healesville.

If you aren’t going to use these benefits, then switch to a fund where you are not paying for these extras that you will never claim for... your excess or some other type of incentive to get your membership.

5. Get the most out of your cover.

Are you eligible for regular dental check-ups? Are you eligible for group classes, hydrotherapy and maintenance physical therapies? Did you know that most ancillary insurance now covers remedial massage?

What about that some funds will even give you money back on your runners, back and wrist braces and gym memberships?

You’re already paying for many of

these benefits.

Tip: Find out from your fund and get what you are paying for. If you aren’t going to use these benefits, then switch to a fund where you are not paying for these extras that you will never claim for.

So go forth and do what many of the private health insurers don’t want you to do - find out what you are paying for, get a better deal if you can, use your benefits to live a healthier life or switch to a fund that better suits your needs.

Tackling wombat mange

By KATH GANNAWAY PAMELA Wiencke had for a long while dedicated her energies to rescuing injured wildlife, but that energy is now focused on keeping one particular native animal free from pain and disease.

Pamela, from Hoddles Creek, took on the role of volunteer co-ordinator with the Upper Yarra branch of Mange Management Inc., a group tackling the painful scourge of mange in wombats in a very downto-earth way.

The organisation, run by Jenny and Reg Mattingley, launched their treatment program in the area last year with the help of a grant from Warburton Community Bank.

The Mattingleys joined Pamela and other volunteers recently to present a community information day and to accept a further grant from the bank to maintain the program.

The treatment relies on identifying wombats with mange and then delivering a dose of medication that is spilled onto the animal that enters or leaves its burrow.

Mange Management’s Pamela Wiencke, left, and Jenny Mattingley, right, show Yarra Junction wildlife shelter operator Maureen Cochrane a demonstration of how the treatment works. 123718 Pamela trains volunteers as well as educates property owners and others about the program.

She is working with a number of property owners in Woori Yallock and Hoddles Creek who are now treating wombats themselves. “We like people to get a photo to us so we can determine whether a wombat is mangy, or there’s an-

other problem, and we then work with residents to treat the animals, supplying the treatment along with support and training,� Pamela said.

Special nocturnal cameras are also available to help identify where there is a problem. “The great thing about using the camera is that we are able to target affected animals, but we are also

finding pockets of healthy wombats,� she said.

For Jenny and Reg, the success of the Upper Yarra program has been more than rewarding, and they are expanding to Gippsland.

Jenny said the program had doubled in its first 12 months, but that more education was needed to really tackle the problem. “I think what we are doing will take a number of years to see the real benefit, but mange, along with road kill, are problems that have the potential to see pockets of wombats disappear, so we need to act now,� she said. “The most important part of this program is educating people who are unaware of what mange is and how easy it spreads, but also that now we can do something about it, and act on that.�

Anyone who would like to know more about identifying or treating wombats on their property, or volunteering with Mange Management, can contact the group on 5944 4378, visit www.mangemanagement.org. au or on Facebook.

Piggy’s worthy appeal THE annual Very Special Kids’ Piggy Bank Appeal is coming around again, and Healesville RSL is calling for the community come on board and help.

The RSL’s family fun day for the Piggy Bank Appeal will be held on Saturday 13 September in the car park at the RSL, with a number of children’s attractions. A mobile animal farm, jumping castle, fairy floss, sausage sizzle and market stalls will all be at the event on

the day, but Healesville RSL manager, Suzanne Serra, said the venue needed people to come on board.

She said the RSL had raised just under $10,000 at last year’s event, raising more and more each year, but that they were still low on stallholders and musicians for September’s event. “Every year, we’ve done better, so we’d like to do better - but we seem to be struggling this year,� she said.

She said that, when the big day comes around, she would like to see a number of musicians busking at the event, as well as market stalls from different shops or restaurants in the community.

For more information on holding a stall or performing at the family fun day, call Suzanne Serra on 5962 5017. For more information about the Piggy Bank Appeal, visit www.vsk. org.au.

Letters I FEEL compelled to write you a letter to praise a young teen and his honesty.

Yesterday (Wednesday 6 August), my husband and I went walking to the cemetery with our granddaughter. While there a young teen came up to me and asked my name and if I had lost a purse which he had just picked up in Badger Creek Road beside the cemetery.

As it wasn’t mine we had a quick look and discovered the lady’s name and address ... he then said he would walk to her home and return it ... I praised him for his honesty.

My husband and I then continued our walk along Badger Creek Road and found numerous cards and paperwork out of the same purse, so my husband then walked around to return them also ... the lady was not home at the time and sure enough at the front door was her purse with a little note from this young man.

She pulled into the driveway as David was leaving and he asked her if she had lost her purse ... she hadn’t realised she had and when he told her the story she was just so overwelmed at this boy’s honesty, as there was quite a bit of money in it, too.

She went straight inside to call him and thank him.

So to that young man, a very big thankyou from an everyday Healesvillian - you deserve a big pat on the back for being so honest.

Jill and David Robins, Healesville.

Just fix it JUST a short note to Yarra Ranges Council - Wonga Road, Millgrove, is full of potholes.

When is the council going to fix it?

D. Gardner, Hampton Park.

Swinburne angst ONE just has a sense of anger and frustration over the future of the Swinburne University site.

The site was compulsorily acquired for the local community.

It was a gift because of the overwhelming educational need and so strongly supported by local government, all politicians, schools and a wide range of community interests.

Swinburne was asked on behalf of the community to provide programs and in doing so gained university status.

Then without a whimper from our local politicians, legislation was enacted freeing Swinburne form its outer east commitment. The community has been betrayed.

This is community theft.

The university will argue it has offered the site for sale to education providers.

With no taker, they are on track for a commercial sale.

So potentially we will see a transfer of resources from the outer east to Hawthorn.

Social justice demands that this site given to the community remains a community asset.

Dr Peter Harris, Past Chair Outer Eastern Planning Council, Darwin.

Belling the cat TO MISS Robyn (Claw back law, Mail, 5 August).

I will now give you the other side of the cat, so to speak.

You say that your cat is domesticated, do you know what she does when she jumps your neighbour’s fence? I will hazard a guess and say no ...

Well, I will tell you what cats do when they jump over fences, they are jumping fences to hunt. This is where most cat owners tell me that their cat does not hunt, that just goes to show the ignorance of the owner. Cats’ hunting instincts are tuned to anything that moves quickly - the birds that swoop your cat have probably lost their family to your cat previously.

In Australia, domestic and feral cats kill over 20 million animals a day … your cat would be in this quota. Just because she does not bring the dead animals home, doesn’t mean that she is not hunting.

If not hunting then she will be defecating in your neighbour’s yard, usually digging up seedlings and garden beds in the process.

If your neighbour has dog/s then the dogs

will dig it up and either roll in it or eat it.

There is also the possibility that she will be urinating on your neighbour’s car vents.

That smell will never go away; one pays over $30,000 for a car, parks it in their own carport and along comes the neighbour’s cats and urinates on the vent.

Other than the appalling smell, now selling the vehicle is nigh on impossible.

You say that you would be incensed if someone put your cat in a trap - sorry lady, your cat voluntarily goes into the trap, and then is picked up by the ranger because your neighbours are over your cat’s behaviour. This is your fault, not the cat’s - cats do what cats do, and in your ignorance you allow it to annoy not only your immediate neighbours but probably the whole neighbourhood.

You say that the new laws are unrealistic and unfair, to whom? You? A person who obviously cannot be bothered to control her cat. Your cat has never had any rights outside of your property, I don’t know where cat owners get this “holier than thou” attitude with their cats.

Dog owners are not allowed to let their dogs run free, they get fined, now that cat owners are on an equal footing to dog owners, what’s the problem? They both will kill native animals if uncontrolled.

You must remember that we have taken native animals’ habitat and built houses, they do come into your yard trying to survive. ’Tis blindingly obvious the damage to the fauna of Australia that cats are doing; open your eyes and bring your cat inside where it should be, or is it that you cannot be bothered to clean the cat box after your cat, you would rather leave that mess for your neighbours.

I have friends with cats, lovely creatures, these cats are NOT allowed outside, both for the cats’ protection (feline aids and foxes) and the native animals’ protection.

These cats are well adjusted and content.

Get YOUR act together lady and control your cat, remember this law came into being because of people like you who do not control their cats. With your and other cats owners’ neglect of their cats, this is the entire reason this new law has been applied.

Judith Butler, Launching Place.

Beware ... it’s the fatberg. 125269_01

Fatberg strikes

By CAITLIN MCARTHUR BLOCKAGES and a build-up of fat and grease at the Lilydale Sewage Treatment Plant has Yarra Valley water warning customers to think twice about what they put down the drain.

General Manager of Infrastructure Services at Yarra Valley Water David Snadden said people needed to understand the troubles that could be caused.

“We all know where number ones and twos go, but there is no such thing as a number three so please do not put anything else down the drain,” Mr Snadden said.

Mr Snadden said despite the worldwide circulation of pictures of the ‘fatberg’ in London’s sewerage system last year, the world had still failed to grasp the need for grease, oil and fats to be disposed of properly.

A ‘fatberg’ is a blockage in the sewerage system, caused by the disposal of fats, oil, and grease through drainage systems. The one found in Lon-

don was reported as being the size of a bus and was the result of several years of build-up.

Yarra Valley Water is looking to residents to ensure this doesn’t happen in Melbourne.

Mr Snadden identified fat, grease and oils as a real concern, “they block pipes, restricting flow and ultimately the speed of service we can provide to our customers”.

The pressure caused by the build-up can cause sewage spills and damage to the pipes.

Yarra Valley Water listed the top 10 causes for blockages as: plastics, paints, pesticides, fats, grease and oils, food scraps, cotton buds, nappies, condoms, sanitary products and medicines.

Treated sewage is either reused or returned to creeks, rivers and oceans.

Mr Snadden warned that putting the wrong things down the sewer affected the ability of Yarra Valley Water to treat the water and had the potential to cause serious environmental damage.

Honest as they come

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Bash on the House

Tuesday, 12 August, 2014 Page 7

............................

By KATH GANNAWAY HEALESVILLE woman Linda House will have plenty to talk about after 10 days driving around 6000 kilometres in a 40-year-old lime-green Toyota Crown as part of the 2014 Variety Bash.

Linda accepted the challenge to join friend June Coleman on the New South Wales event which left Brisbane on Thursday 7 August, heading for Busby’s Bore in Sydney.

A crop monitor for the Toolangi strawberry runner growers, Linda said she enjoyed challenging herself whether it was giving a talk as a member of Healesville Toastmasters, peddling with cycling club friends or heading north to the top of Cape York on one of many driving adventures.

The Variety Bash is Australia’s most successful charity motoring event raising money to help empower children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

In Victoria alone, the Bash has raised over $18million dollars since 1992.

Linda said some of that money had benefited local children with Variety providing mini buses to schools including Chum Creek and Marysville,

NOW OPEN CHECK OUT THESE GREAT SPECIALS Linda House, right, and friend June Coleman are Angels on a Variety Bash mission. along with bicycles, laptops and other equipment to fire-affected communities after the 2009 bushfires.

A highlight of this year’s bash will be the presentation to schools along the route of equipment that they have requested.

Linda said she was thrilled to be part of the Charlie’s Angels’ crew helping to make things happen for children in need, and felt especially fortunate to be on board this year.

“It’s a national bash this year

with bashers from six states coming together in Sydney, which is really exciting,” she said.

“Imagine 550 old cars, all decorated with stickers and themes, driving over Sydney Harbour Bridge on 17 August, and we’ll be there, wrapped in lime green … I can hardly wait.”

AS A tribute for 10 years of love and care given to their mother, a family has built a new garden and shelter area at the Holmwood Private Aged Care Facility in Healesville.

Clear that the site was not a memorial for their mother Margurita Myra Nellie Wilkinson, the family of 12 children built the site to thank the staff for their care as well as provide an enjoyable space for the residents.

Kevin Wilkinson, the eldest of her children said making the site which took eight weekends was a labour of love.

“Our main focus was to show our appreciation for the love, support and care shown by the facility over the past 10 years.”

“We hope it can be used as an activities area for residents to use or a place to sit with their familiies,” he said.

Facility manager Emily Rogers said they were thrilled to welcome the new outside area where they would run activities such as painting.

“The residents love to sit outside ... it creates another opportunity for them to sit among each other and be social. Providing an outside environment is important for health,” she said.

The new area includes a shelter with inbuilt seating and a sundeck with a table set in the middle of a garden. Margurita’s children travelled far and wide for the unveiling of the new site, with some coming from Western Australia.

Passing at age 87 in January this year, Margurita was born in Lilydale and spent most of her life in Healesville. She is survived by 12 children, 38 grandchildren and over 60 great grandchildren.

Vietnam veteran makes no Boness

By REBECCA BILLS IT MAY be a case of too little, too late but the RSL is determined to never make the same mistake again.

Vietnam veteran Roger Boness said for years after the Australian soldiers returned home from Vietnam they felt isolated and shamed.

“We would try and talk to people, but no one was prepared to listen with most RSL’s saying we weren’t welcome there,” he said.

“But times have changed and they (the RSL) are very concerned that they didn’t get it right with the Vietnam veterans and they don’t want to make that same mistake again.”

At 21 years of age, Roger was sent to Vietnam in 1966 as part of an artillery unit that was deployed to an infantry unit.

“It was my responsibility when we got in contact with the enemy to bring in supporting artillery,” he said.

“For my job, I had to map read and to know every minute of the day where we were on the ground - for

From left, Roger McKee, Ian Harty, Don Parsons, Robin, Neil Skinner, Roger Boness, Alan Johnson, Robert Hamond, Lyle Johnson, Bill Smart and Ria Watkin ready to march. 123296 Picture: ROB CAREW the 11 months that I was in Vietnam, nine of those months was on the ground.”

Roger said when they got word at how public the war was in Australia and the bitterness from the public, it hurt the soldiers.

“We were over there on behalf of

our government, in mortal danger, and these people were concerned about their own political agendas and we were used as a tool,” he said.

Post-traumatic stress, bilateral hearing loss, skin cancer alongside the skin on his hands peeling off each year as a result of the chemi-

cals Roger was exposed to during his time in the jungle are all ongoing reminders of his time in Vietnam.

“We were often sodden, quite often our clothes would rot off us, our skin would start to peel off and then there were the leeches and the snakes,” he said.

Australia’s military involvement in Vietnam lasted 10 years (1962 to 1972), the longest in our nation’s history, with almost 60,000 Australian soldiers serving in Vietnam.

During those 10 years, 521 Australians died and more than 3000 were injured, with many of the soldiers sent to Vietnam being sons of the soldiers who fought in WWII and the grandsons of Gallipoli veterans.

The Yarra Valley Vietnam Veterans’ Day Combined Service will be held in Mount Evelyn this year on Sunday 17 August.

The service will commence at 11am at Mount Evelyn Memorial Gardens, corner of Birmingham Road and Wray Crescent followed by commemorations and a veterans’ march to the RSL.

Academics open fire

By JESSE GRAHAM A WAR of words has erupted between pro-logging groups and conservationalists after a controversial report was released last week linking logging to devastating bushfires such as Black Saturday.

The new study, released last week, said that trees aged between seven and 70 burn with higher intensity and pose a greater risk to surrounding towns.

However, the validity of the study has been questioned by another professor, who agrees that young trees pose fire risks, but said the timber industry isn’t to blame.

University of Melbourne’s Chris Taylor and Michael McCarthy, along with Australian National University (ANU) Professor David Lidenmayer, released a study last week on the forests near Toolangi.

Using the Black Saturday bushfires as a case study, the study demonstrates that mountain ash trees aged between seven and 70 receive significantly more damage in bushfires than trees outside of the age bracket.

As a result, according to Prof Lindenmayer, those intermediate aged trees contribute to a higher severity of bushfires that run through the area, such as those seen during the Black Saturday fires.

Prof Lindenmayer said the study had serious implications for the timber industry, which he believes contributes to intermediate-aged, more fire-prone trees in the forests.

“Anything you logged yesterday, logged today or will log tomorrow will

Professor David Lindenmayer with the recently-released study he took Picture: JESSE GRAHAM part in. 125439 see a fire legacy for the next 50 years,” he said.

“This means that fire is more intense, more severe, and we need to be very, very careful about where we’re logging.

“We shouldn’t be logging near towns such as Marysville, Healesville or Warburton.”

However, University of Melbourne

Professor Peter Attiwill has criticised Prof Lindenmayer’s stance on the timber industry and said his comments may cause undue panic in an area which is prone to fire.

While Prof Attiwill does not dispute that trees of different ages burn at different severities, and said it was something they agree on, he said the link to logging is too tenuous.

greyhound racetracks to cheer on race dogs they are randomly aligned to at the beginning of the series.

Here they receive free merchandise, are treated to a complimentary lunch or dinner, and they can even give their greyhound a cuddle after it races.

And should their greyhound happen to win, the organisation will share in more than $50,000 in prize money and continue to follow their greyhound’s progress throughout the series, which culminates in the TAB Great Chase Grand Final at The Meadows in Melbourne on Wednesday 3 September.

More than $300,000 has been distributed to the disability sector since the TAB Great Chase was initiated in 2003 with this money spent on various items including day trips, holidays and sporting equipment.

ABOVE average rainfall was recorded in Healesville, Hoddles Creek and Warburton last month.

Healesville’s Alma Mitchell recorded 105.5mm of rainfall over 25 days of the month, compared to 87.8mm recorded over 22 days in 2013.

In Hoddles Creek, Doug Armstrong recorded 139mm of rain over the month, compared to 120mm the year before, while Warburton’s Keith Thomas recorded 152mm - well above the month’s average of 116.7mm.

Mr Armstrong and Mr Thomas both noted an increase in rainfall over the last seven months, when compared to the January-July period in 2013.

Mr Armstrong recorded 610mm in the seven months last year, with 675mm so far in 2014, while Mr Thomas recorded 737mm, which is dramatically higher than the average of 694.3mm.

Melbourne’s storage dams are in good form, at 77 per cent capacity.

ADVERTORIAL

Charity cash on track for a win THERE is nothing quite like the experience of cheering on a personal greyhound at the races.

The fact that elite sports people such as Ricky Ponting, Archie Thompson, James Pattinson, Jonathan Brown, Tony Lockett and recent Australian Commonwealth Games gold medallist Laetisha Scanlan are actively involved in greyhound racing is testament to that.

And, in a true show of community spirit, Greyhound Racing Victoria’s annual TAB Great Chase series brings the excitement of greyhound racing to the disability sector by granting ‘virtual ownership’ of greyhounds that compete in the month-long series.

Each August about 2000 clients and carers from Victorian organisations that care for intellectually or physically disabled people visit their local

“Our studies have shown that, where you have fires in the intensity that we’ve had, then logging is irrelevant,” he said.

“It all depends on fuel load.”

He said that the overall age of the forests around Toolangi are a result of bushfires in 1939 and subsequent salvage logging and that recently-logged coupes contributed a small amount to overall forest age.

A study conducted by Prof Attiwill last year briefly outlines data that coincides with Taylor, McCarthy and Lindenmayer’s study results about tree ages being linked with severity of fire damage.

However, Prof Attiwill said the key to reducing fire risk in forests is proper management and reduction of fuel loads where possible - not reducing logging.

VicForests’ General Manager of Stakeholders and Planning, Nathan Trushell, said the organisation would review the study and its potential implications on the organisation.

“VicForests will review this most recent fire research paper by Taylor et al in 2014 in consultation with leading fire scientists, in line with our best practice approach to ecological forestry,” he said.

Prof Lindenmayer called on Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Water Peter Walsh to review the state’s forest management in the wake of the study.

“A Coalition government is committed to the responsible management of Victoria’s public land and reducing fire risk,” Mr Walsh said in 2010.

Oscars On The Yarra Warburton Ph: 5966 9166 1148746-EG33-14

OSCAR’S on the Yarra offers stylish country comfort for dining, accommodation and functions.

The property has been a part of the tourism and hospitality scene since the late 1920s.

The venue has evolved over the years, without losing its country charm, as different entities such as Warburton Waters and Yarra Grange with most locals aware of its location next to the Tommy Fin Trout Farm.

Inspired by the glamour of a bygone era, Oscar’s very unique boutique hotel has been lovingly transformed by talented interior designer Jack Fugaro.

Oscars on the Yarra is the only venue in the region that has river frontage on 21 acres, which lends itself to many weddings by the Yarra River.

Diners in the restaurant or from the fabulous deck overlook the river views and the 100-year-old oak tree.

This is a hidden secret and people are still discovering all they have to offer.

Oscar’s is a tranquil boutique hotel and has recently taken on the Best Western brand for their accommodation.

This has increased occupancy and offered affordable accommodation to travellers and visiting friends and relatives with overnight stays include a scrumptious, fully cooked breakfast.

General manager Monica Dixon

said with the recent snow in the area they had had many couples and families come to stay to explore the area.

“There is so much to do – river walks, the Warburton to Lilydale Rail Trail at the end of the driveway, La La Falls, golf, canoeing, wineries, village shops and guests can even bring a fishing rod to try their luck at catching the elusive brown trout,” she said.

The website is full of great information and it’s worth checking their specials page to see what fantastic deals they have each month.

Oscar’s is the perfect venue for small or large destination weddings and conferences.

With 22 rooms and a twobedroom apartment, events can be packaged with accommodation and dining.

If it’s privacy and focus you require, exclusive use of the venue can be arranged but is subject to availability.

COOKING wasn’t his first option when choosing a career, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Oscar’s on the Yarra head chef Mark Krueger initially studied civil engineering for three years, before realising his true calling was in the kitchen.

Choosing the hard route of an apprenticeship to build up the experience he needed, he started at the bottom in a small restaurant called Yolans where the head chef at the time had trained with the Roux brothers in London.

Mr Krueger then moved to the Windsor Hotel (an Oberoi hotel) in Melbourne under Bruno Cerdan and completed a further three-year apprenticeship, moving from position to position covering all the famous hotel’s food and beverage outlets.

Then came a fantastic opportunity to work with the renowned Paul Bocuse Restaurant.

It was here that Mr Krueger experienced the true art of traditional French cookery with an Asian twist under the tutelage of executive chef Philippe Mouchel who had worked in Japan for 10 years.

After 18 months Mr Krueger was promoted to Chef de Partie. Simultaneously, he studied at the William Angliss Culinary Institute in Melbourne and passed with honours.

The Paul Bocuse Restaurant sadly closed and Mr Krueger worked in a couple of established venues broadening his experience in various styles of cuisine including the Queenscliff Hotel restaurant, renowned for its local seafood in coastal Victoria and then later Langton’s, a New York style grill room in Melbourne.

After a brief ‘walkabout’ in Europe and to trace his roots in Germany Mr Krueger returned home and joined the Sofitel in Melbourne as Chef de Cuisine of Cafe La, the Brasserie Restaurant under chef Marcus Moore of London’s Dorchester fame.

Then came Mr Krueger’s first ‘number one position’ as executive chef of the award winning Marylands Country House in the Yarra Valley.

After two and a half years his talents were recognised by the Six Senses hotel group and he was invited to be part of the opening team for the Hideaway Resort in Hua Hin, Thailand as Chef de Cuisine.

Over the next six and a half years he worked at Coco Palm Resort and Spa in the Maldives as executive chef and food and beverages manager, Six Senses, Koh Samui as executive chef where the prestigious restaurant Dining on the Rocks received the award as best restaurant in Thailand (2009, Thailand Tattler) and at Tongsai Bay as Executive Chef with the philosophy of using local sustainable produce high on the agenda.

Now happily married with two young children, he says he has moved back to Australia with the belief of finding the ideal place to raise his family and is heading up the culinary team at Oscar’s on the Yarra in Warburton.

wineries with some notably featured wines from Hoddles Creek and Mac Forbes.

In the future there will be food and wine matching evenings highlighting Mark Krueger’s talent.

New owners Walter Marcheselli and Nicola Spranzi said they were so pleased to have such a quality chef at their venue.

Selection from the Oscar’s on Yarra menu: To start Herb Goat’s Cheese Red capsicum, red wine and ginger poached pear, candied walnuts 7 Hour Pork Belly Caesar Deconstructed with parmesan custard, crouton, bacon, anchovy “This dish is a product of inspiration of a couple of chefs I greatly admire, namely Thomas Keller of the French Laundry fame and Ferran Adria; of the once great El Bulli restaurant whose deconstructed food is sheer flavoursome art.

This is not a new concept but one which can take a lot of skill and thought to take the elements of a traditional or modern dish, work with them, and put them back together to create something this is surprisingly different but really tasty.”

– Oscar’s Head Chef, Mark Krueger

1143280-EPJ28-14

THE superb cuisine alongside the views over lush gardens cascading towards the riverbank at Oscar’s of the Yarra does not disappoint.

The menu offers diners a lovely a la carte experience and an option to indulge in a delightful degustation menu and light lunch options.

Father’s Day is only four weeks away and chef Mark Krueger has prepared a delicious three-course menu at only $55 per person.

A $35 light lunch option has been a big hit, with guests enjoying two courses and a glass of wine. Sales and functions coordinator Joanne Tate said this had been a great enticement to get people in to try their cuisine.

“We love the locals and visitors to the area to try the exceptional quality of our food and service in our licensed restaurant,” she said.

“Our highly qualified chef creates meals sourcing local produce where possible.”

For every special occasion like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day chef Mark will create a special menu and the Christmas function pack is now available for groups.

Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve will also be open to the public to book tables for festive dining.

To complement the food, their exciting wine list focuses upon leading Victorian winemakers with a Yarra Valley focus on Warburton Highway

Talked a great game

By JESSE GRAHAM

The Australian Haydn Ensemble are ready to wow the audience at Strathvea Guest House. 125389

Classical concert

By ANEEKA SIMONIS STRATHVEA Festival has returned for its third annual performance, welcoming back nationally renowned chamber group, the Australian Haydn Ensemble.

The musicians, who have performed in venues across the country including the Sydney Opera House, will offer an intimate concert at the Strathvea Guest House in Healesville on 16 and 17 August.

Over one hundred years old, the guest house will be filled with renditions of classical music up to 400 years old, played by period instruments under candlelight.

Starting at 5pm on Saturday 16 August, the quartet will perform their first concert, “Stylus Fantasticus” which will include music by composers Rosenmuller, Becker, Fischer, Buxtehude and Biber. It will then be followed by the ensemble’s string quartet performance of Haydn classics.

Festival organiser Deanna Eccles said the performance was standout.

“Listening to the ensemble is the most beautiful and exquisite experience I have ever had. I can’t find words for it ... it sends tingles up my spine,” Eccles said.

The festival will culminate on Sunday 18 August with a poetry recital by former Blue Heelers actor John Wood against the ensemble.

Eccles said the poetry, both classic and modern, helped create a romantic narrative to the string performance.

By breaking up the concert with poetry, John adds imagination to the experience instead of allowing people to just float away with the music,” she said.

Seating is limited to 40 guests per performance. For bookings and information, call 5962 4109 or visit http://www.strathveafestival.com.au/.

WOORI Yallock students talked their way to victory, scoring two out of three top prizes at last week’s Primary Schools’ Speech Contest in Healesville.

The contest was held at Healesville High School on Wednesday 6 August, where nine students from schools around the Yarra Valley faced off in friendly competition.

Each student made a three-minute speech on a range of topics, and were marked by Toastmasters representatives on their overall performance.

Rotary Club of Healesville put on the evening, which is the second annual speech contest for the area, and the first to include Woori Yallock Primary School.

Woori Yallock’s Jaymi Ingram and Stephanie Maguire took out first and third prize in the contest, while Badger Creek Primary School’s Aiden Ratcliff received a second place medal.

Jaymi was awarded first place for her stirring speech on living vicariously and happily, which began with the prompt “it’s always the right

time to ... ” “The world was not made for you to just sit around inside and do nothing!” she began.

“It was made for you to have fun and enjoy every single moment you have of daylight.”

Aiden’s speech was all about his favourite creature - the spider and he tried to convince the crowd to come around to the much-feared arachnid.

“OMG - did you know that there are more than 30,000 different kinds of spiders in the world?” he said.

“I know you think that’s a bad thing, but I’m here to try and convince you that it’s not.”

Stephanie Maguire’s speech hit a hard note, and she referenced Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech, when she said if she could change the world, she would eliminate racism.

“What is anti-racism? It means treating everyone fairly, not making racist jokes, respecting people and being friendly to each other, regardless of where they come from or what they look like,” she said.

“We were born to trust and accept each other - we were not born

Ruby Langford, Niamh Gilligan, Aiden Ratcliff, Tom Calder, Madison Cuthbertson, Stepanie Maguire, Kira Hetherton, Mia Kusnezow and winner, Jaymi Ingram, at the speech contest last week. 125257 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM with particular attitudes.”

The three winners received medals for their efforts, while Woori Yallock Primary School will have its name marked on a perpetual trophy under last year’s winner, Badger Creek Primary School.

St Brigid’s Primary Schools’ Niamh Gilligan, Dixons Creek’s Tom Calder and Mia Kusnezow,

Healesville’s Madison Cuthbertson and Ruby Langford, Badger Creek’s Aiden Ratcliff and Kira Hetherton and Woori Yallock’s Stephanie Maguire and Jaymi Ingram all took part in the competition.

Master of Ceremonies, Marlene Sinclair, thanked all of the students for their speeches, and congratulated them on their public speaking skills.

Luncheon movies

By MELISSA MEEHAN MAIL readers are given the chance to win two double passes to Croydon Cinemas Movie Luncheons.

Director and general manager of the Croydon Cinema’s four screen complex, George Aleksiunas said the lunches had been popular in the past and following requests from customers decided to bring them back.

The screenings are held every second Wednesday, excluding school and public holidays.

“It’s been really well received, we have already sold out for this week,” Mr Aleksiunas said.

“That’s the difference between us and a big cinema - we’re able to listen to our customers.”

He said the luncheons kept on theme with providing a cheap entertainment option for locals in the area.

“We have two options, tea coffee and lunch for $15 including the movie ticket and champagne and lunch for $20,” he said.

“To have lunch and a movie ticket for that price - it’s something we are proud of.”

Reservations are essential and close by 3pm the day before the luncheon.

To win go to the Mail Newspaper Group facebook page, find the related post.

Share, like and comment on the post with the codeword YUM. Winners will be announced on Friday 15 August at 3pm.

NOW SHOWING LUCY

IN A year with some great science fiction films, Lucy is one of the best so far.

Humans supposedly only use 10 per cent of their brains’ capacity.

But when Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), an American student in Taiwan, is exposed to a cognition-enhancing drug after being tricked into becoming a drug mule, she begins unlocking her entire brain and accessing extraordinary powers.

With films such as Leon and The Fifth Element in his body of work, director Luc Besson has a talent for creating intense, over-the-top action movies that are still charged with intelligence and witty humour. Lucy is no exception.

The film is positively bursting with vibrant visual style, features some insanely creative action scenes and great performances from Johansson and Oldboy star Choi Min-Sik, who is suavely sinister in his Western debut.

Johansson commands every scene with calm intensity, and the film is a lean, stylish and intriguing journey of her

character essentially becoming an omnipotent god, gaining telepathy, telekinesis and later control over matter and time.

This progression fuels the beautiful visuals and action, and the drug cartel hunting her keeps it suspenseful.

The 10 per cent myth in the premise is nonsense, and though Lucy propagates this and some other basic misunderstandings about science, the film is still infused with enthusiasm for science and the possibilities it holds for human improvement.

Ultimately, Lucy is cool and brainy (in that order).

“Cloud accounting also enables us to monitor and review our clients’ businesses on a day-to-day basis and provide virtual CFO services.”

Dalcorp Accounting Services is lo1138756-CG24-14

DALCORP Accounting Services has been offering specialist tax and accounting facilities in the Yarra Valley and eastern suburbs of Melbourne for more than 10 years.

Specialising in tax and accounting services for small businesses, director and principal accountant Dale Feim said the point of difference was how Dalcorp provided personalised and professional service in an approachable manner.

“Clients can get lost in a big firm, being handed from junior to junior, but all our clients deal directly with myself,” he said.

“Our clients stay up-to-date with our monthly e-newsletter which keeps them informed as to all the latest news and information for small businesses.”

Prior to starting his practice, Mr Feim gained extensive experience consulting as a senior accountant in an inner city Melbourne firm for more than 15 years, specialising in self-managed superannuation funds (SMSF), primary production, property development, investment property sectors and construction.

Mr Feim said this year small businesses faced quite a lot of uncertainty with proposed taxation changes.

“Specifically there is uncertainty around the current $6500 asset writeoff rules and the $5000 motor vehicle instant write-off,” he said.

“There are a number of tax changes, namely a rise in the concessional contribution cap and super guarantee rate.

“Individuals haven’t been left out, with a number of tax offsets to be abolished and a rise in the Medicare levy.

Trophy held aloft in victor y THE annual Cockatoo Hills Challenge was held on Saturday at a soggy Mountain Road Reserve, Cockatoo. The event, held by Cockatoo Little Athletics Club, is one of the must-run events on the Yarra Ranges Athletics calendar. Events ranging from 500m to 3000m over a testing, undulating course suited the multitalented Yarra Ranges athletes.

A great turnout of club members, young and old, ensured the return of the perpetual trophy to the Yarra Ranges Athletics trophy cabinet.

Parents and their kids alike, all get a sleep in next weekend with no cross country events. Their Athletics Victoria registered athletes will be competing at the 5km or 15km road race in Ballarat.

The next club event is the cross country fun day and presentation day on Saturday 23 August.

Go to www.yarrarangesathletics. org.au <http://www.yarrarangesathletics.org.au> for more information on upcoming events, results and training times.

Another successful weekend of athletics for Cockatoo Little Athletics Club members.

The terror of the Tigers

By RUSSELL BENNETT

Emerald’s Dylan Bova prepares to scoop up the Sherrin, closely contested by his Upwey Tecoma opponent, Blair Sheppard.

Picture: COURTESY OF ROBYN KUYS

A 14-GOAL first half gave Upwey Tecoma an insurmountable advantage at the main break over Emerald in YVMDFL Division 1 action on Saturday - storming to a 65-point win, 21.15 (141) to 12.4 (76).

The hometown Tigers booted six goals-to-one in the first quarter but had 13 scoring shots-totwo, outlining their dominance.

The second term continued in a similar vein, but after the break the Bombers clicked into gear, booting six majors of their own in one of their best quarters for the year and adding some respectability to the scoreboard.

Upwey was too strong all over the ground for the most part though, creating 20 more scoring shots.

Alex Hellriegel booted four majors up forward for the visitors in his best output for the season, while Justin Davis and player-coach Josh Taylor added two apiece. Trent Wilson made his senior Bombers debut and played a starring role, while Luke McKenna was again at his reliable best. Ed Pascoe, Nathan Bownds and Michael Dompietro also stood up to be counted for the visitors; while Chad Davis, Sam Gooley and Daniel Waters (four goals) were superb for the Tigers, who had 12 separate goal-kickers.

Dylan Sloane, brother of Adelaide superstar Rory, slotted three.

Three games and percentage behind Belgrave in last on the Division 1 ladder, the Bombers will be back in the second tier next season. But with a new playing surface and new facilities on the

way, it likely won’t be long before they return to the top flight of the YVMDFL. In Division 2 action on Saturday, Gembrook Cockatoo playercoach Leigh McCombe continued his outstanding goal-kicking run with 11 of his side’s 12 majors in a 20-point win over Yarra Junction, 12.7 (79) to 9.5 (59).

McCombe has now kicked 24 goals in the past two weeks and is second only to Seville star Nathan O’Keefe in the league’s goalkicking. Brad Porter, Chris Vernal and Luke Tyrrell also shone as the Brookers rung in their 10year 2004 premiership reunion in style. For the Eagles, meanwhile, Todd Cordwell, Lachlan Cove and Daniel Amrein stood strong while David Lever and Matt Jones slotted two goals apiece.

Gap narrows for the top YVMDFNL WITH two rounds to go in Division 1 of the Yarra Valley Mountain District Community Bank Football Netball League, the top five is still wide open with six clubs jostling for a position in the final five.

Mount Evelyn take on Olinda next week in what could be a season ending game for both clubs.

Upwey take on ladder leaders Monbulk to keep its season alive.

In Division 2 the last round sees Thornton sitting fifth, one game ahead of Alexandra and Gembrook.

Alexandra has the bye so it will finish sixth.

Gembrook takes on Thornton but needs a massive win to boost its percentage to take fifth spot.

Netball in Division 1 sees Mount Evelyn and Olinda on the same point sitting, four and five.

A win is a must for both to hold down their spot in the five.

Division 2 looks like the final five is set.

It would take a massive win by Powelltown over Kinglake to boost its percentage and Seville to beat Yarra Junction.

Division 1 Seniors Woori Yallock 12.8 (80) d Warburton Millgrove 9.11 (65) WOORI Yallock’s Premiership defence is still well and truly alive after a hard fought victory over Warby.

This game was in the balance deep into the last quarter, Woori looked the goods early in the game and jumped out to a 14-point lead at the first break but Warby bounced back with hard one-onone footy and by three quarter time Woori’s lead was just four points.

The last quarter was tough going but Woori’s efficiency was the difference as it booted four straight goals to 2.1 to win by 15 points and now finds itself third on the ladder.

Best Woori Yallock: M. Batten, J. Matthews (4), J. Adams (1).

Warburton Millgrove: T. Walker, L. Barnard (1), J. Lewis.

Wandin 16.11 (107) d Healesville 10.9 (69) WANDIN’S good form has continued after a handy 38 point win over Healesville.

The first quarter was reasonably even with Wandin leading by just seven points but Wandin took control in the second term booting seven goals to two to go into half-time 39 points ahead.

Even though the second half was an even contest and Healesville certainly held its own against the league leaders it never looked to be any real threat as Wandin had all the answers.

Best Wandin: J. Myers, J. Ladner (1), S. McDonnell.

Healesville: N. Mende, A. Davies (1), T. Costigan.

Division 2 Seniors Yarra Glen 20.18 (138) d Powelltown 11.15 (81) THIS game looked as though it was going to be a beauty in the first quarter because it went goal for goal and Yarra Glen held a slender three-point lead at the first break.

However, Yarra Glen had other ideas and broke the game open to a degree in the second scoring four goals to one and really should have been further in front than its 25-point half-time lead.

Yarra Glen put the game beyond doubt in the third with some great running play booting seven goals to two for the term and its lead had blown out to nine goals.

The last quarter was an even contest but Yarra Glen had done the damage that Powelltown was never coming back from.

Best Yarra Glen best players: J. Ball, B. Ashton, R. Bateman.

Powelltown best players: J. Gates (2), M. McArthur, K. Larsen.

Alexandra 22.19 (151) d Yea 14.7 (91) A GOOD four quarter performance from Alex secured it them with what was a comfortable 10 goal win over Yea. The first half was somewhat competitive and Alex’s lead was just 21 points at the main break but it broke the game open in the third with a sixgoal to three term and then backed it up in the last booting seven goals to five which sees it one game out of the top five but with a low percentage and just one game to go it would be hard to see it getting in now.

Best Alexandra: W. Walker (3), C. Mullins (1), G. Goonan (6).

Yea: T. Butterworth (3), G. Wearne, M. McCulloch.

Thornton Eildon: Bye Division 1 A Grade Netball Warburton Millgrove 51 drew with Woori Yallock 51 THIS was a great game between two teams that won’t feature in finals but are looking to finish their season off strong.

Woori did lead at all the changes but Warby was always within striking distance.

Going into the last quarter Woori’s lead was just three goals.

The last quarter was a ripper and Warby did look like it was going to pinch the win but come the final bell scores were all tied up in what was a fitting result to a classic contest.

Best Warburton Millgrove: Stephanie-Ellen Durant (19), Alexandra Bryan, Karly Wappett.

Woori Yallock: Peri Stewart (39), Emma

Mitch Collins takes a strong mark.

Hales, Jordan Kennedy (12).

Wandin 47 d Healesville 29 WANDIN did win this game reasonably comfortably in the end but not before a really competitive first half where Healesville took it right up to one of the form teams of the competition.

Wandin’s lead was just four goals at half-time and it had a battle on its hands.

Wandin really started to get on top in the sec-

ond half as it stretched its lead out to nine goals at the last change and then finished the day off well with a 12-goal to three last quarter to win well but it certainly had to work hard for it.

Best Wandin: Tayissa Coppinger, Kathleen McMahon, Melissa Martinov (28).

Healesville: Chelsea Connell, Caitlyn Jeffress, Michelle Sanders.

Mar ysville’s par Suns downed by ’Rays round on back nine

By JARROD POTTER

THE Marysville Thursday nine holers played a Par round on the back nine holes. The winner was Rob Richards with -2 followed by Graham Page with -4 who also won the nearest the pin with his tee shot to the 18th hole.

Both the ladies and men played a stroke round for the first round of the Winter Aggregate.

The men’s winner was Steve Coker (25) with nett 64 followed closely by Glen Iris resi-

dent and member Ming Kuan (17) with nett 65. The ladies winner was the in-form Gail Leigh (11) with nett 73 and Sabrina Stow (24) was the runnerup with nett 78. The nearest the pins were won by Gail Leigh, Nick Williamson, David Stephen and Lilydale resident and member Peter Jeffery won the Golden Shot on the 18th.

The Marysville ladies are beginning to prepare for the Sandy Wilson Memorial Bowl on Thursday 11 September to

THE sun has set on Sherbrooke’s stellar season after a 72-86 defeat at the hands of Corio Bay in its Big V basketball semi-final.

Sherbrooke was unable to best the reigning Big V State Championship Men premiers Corio Bay Stingrays as the Geelong-based team knocked off the Suns by 14 points on Sunday.

The best efforts of Sherbrooke import pair Grant Johnson (26 points, seven rebounds) and Titus Robinson

which all local lady golfers are invited. Sandy was a loyal and popular member from Toolangi who sadly died of cancer.

There is currently a buzz around the club as chef Russell Cohen prepares to open ‘The Bunker’ restaurant for dinner for the first time on Friday 15 August.

All members wish Russell well and offer him their support in his new venture.

- Lesley Rundle

(20 points, 14 rebounds) could not drag the Suns to victory as the Stingrays unleashed in the second quarter.

A 27-10 disparity in the second term left Sherbrooke chasing for the rest of the match as Ma’Alo Hicks (28 points, 10 rebounds) and Duane Johnson (17 points, 12 rebounds) dominated in close for the Stingrays at both ends.

Sherbrooke could not find its tempo from beyond the three-point arc, only shooting 4-of-21 for the match outside the line.

Corio Bay will face Ringwood in the grand final as the Hawks knocked off Waverley in the other semi-final 94-85.

Sherbrooke finished the regular season with a 15-9 record to finish fourth for the year.

Sherbrooke will host its Gala Presentation Night on Saturday 30 August at Switch Bar in Knox. For more information on the presentation night, contact the club on lakesidemaintanence@bigpond.com.
