Killed over cash

By KATH GANNAWAY A YARRA Junction man tried to blame friends and neighbours for the brutal death of his partner, the Melbourne Supreme Court heard last week.

It wasn’t the worst of a shocking litany of revelations at a plea hearing on Friday 15 May, in relation to the murder of Elizabeth Barnes at the hands of her partner Andrew Carl Albert Klaussner.

Klaussner, 40, pleaded guilty in March to killing Miss Barnes, then 37, on 26 September 2013.

The court heard the couple had argued over money in the cabin they shared at a caravan park in Britannia Creek Road, Yarra Junction, on the day she was killed.

Behind in their rent, with $380 due in three days, and faced with again being homeless, they had been to Warburton earlier in the day to look for rental accommodation.

The court heard that they returned to the cabin, where Klaussner wanted money to buy drugs, but Ms Barnes wanted to keep it for rent.

Crown Prosecutor Fran Dalziel said Klaussner strangled Ms Barnes who also suffered knife wounds, including a stab wound to the back of the neck and bruises and cuts to her head and neck.

Ms Dalziel said while the prosecution could not say exactly what happened, it was clear that Ms Barnes was also struck to the face with blunt force and that a knife caused superficial cuts and the deep stab wound.

She said this was contrary to Mr Klaussner’s version where he claimed she had picked up the knife and attacked him and that he was attempting to disarm her.

She said Klaussner had a history of violence towards Ms Barnes.

“Having killed Ms Barnes, Klaussner took her bankcard, purchased methylamphetamine, injected that drug and spent the night on the bed while Ms

Ronnie’s still dancing at 98 Barnes lay dead on the floor,” she said.

Ms Dalziel said Klaussner told his drug dealer that he had strangled “my

missus” and knocked her out.

He told him he didn’t know whether he had killed her and was “too scared to

go back and see what had happened”.

She said he reported the death to police the following day, AFL Grand Final

day, creating a false story and pointing the finger at a number of potential suspects.

Police seek link to tattoo targets

By KATH GANNAWAY POLICE are investigating possible links between suspicious fires at two tattoo shops in the Yarra Valley last week.

Seville CFA were called out at 1.50am on Wednesday 13 May, and arrived to find the ground-floor shop occupied by Valley Custom Tattoo at Seville fully ablaze.

As Lilydale CIU and police arson chemists arrived on site around 9.30am, there were reports of a fire at EasternTatoo in Hardy Street, Lilydale.

Melbourne media was also linking a drive-by shooting at Beaconsfield with the fires, and there were plenty of rumours of bikie gang involvement.

As of Monday 18 May, Yarra Ranges CIU’s Detective Sergeant Mick Duke confirmed their investigations included possible links between the incidents but said they were keen at this stage to hear from anyone who might have seen anything suspicious at either location around the times of the fires.

As police looked over the building on Wednesday, the owner of the business, who gave his name as Greg, said he had lost memories, six years of artwork and pictures and equipment.

While declining to comment on talk around town of bike club involvement, he said he was angry, but not surprised at what had happened. “It’s not the best place out there at the moment,� he said. “There’s a lot of crap out there, a lot of people doing it pretty hard and people blaming the wrong people.

Organic vegies, herbs galore too

By KATH GANNAWAY Valley Custom Tattoo owner Greg talks with police at the scene on Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Wednesday morning. 139028 “It will come out in the wash.

Meanwhile, the fires are taking their toll most of all on the other businesses located in the same buildings.

At Seville, owners of businesses including Seville Bakery, Yarra Valley Valuations and Golden Age Homes, stood around on Wednesday morning, stunned that the shop had been targeted and, with the building cordoned off as a crime scene, unable to get access to their premises.

Bakery owner Kim Nguon was devastated, saying she was unable to say when they would be able to reopen. “It will cost us,� she said.

The Mail was unable to contact Ms Nguon yesterday, but believes the bakery is still closed.

The owner of Golden Age Homes said their business was heavily reliant

on computers and that they wouldn’t be able to operate again until they were back on line - presuming that their computer system had survived.

Businesses at Lilydale are also believed to be unable to get back to work because of power issues.

The cost to those businesses is yet to be established.

Seville CFA captain David Clark said the Seville fire was confined to the lower floor tattoo shop, but was burning very hot and had blown out all the windows on the bottom level.

Anyone with information, or who saw any vehicles or people in the vicinity of the Seville shop in the early hours of Wednesday, or at Lilydale later in the morning, are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 1300.

ECOSS in Wesburn is growing better and better.

The new ECOSS shop opened on Saturday, making certified organic vegetable and herb seedlings and native tubes more widely available to the public.

The not-for-profit organisation has been promoting sustainable living solutions for a number of years and secretary Jo Butler said the ECOSS shop was another step towards reaching out to the wider community. “We aim to reach a much broader demographic than those who are already environmentally aware,� she said. “By spring we are hoping we will have gained people’s attention to the fact that they can get not only accredited organic plants, but other organic resources such as potting mix and fertilisers.

“We would love to have people stopping for a tea or coffee, having a chat and getting to know what we have here.�

Information and knowledge is the other product ECOSS has in abundance, and are keen to share.

The ECOSS ‘farm’ has a fantastic vegetable garden for inspiration, and staff can help with what’s best to plant, and how to get the best results.

Ms Butler said it was a great place to pick up pamphlets on all sorts of sustainable projects and sustainability around the house, as well as in the garden.

The profits from the shop will go towards teaching people about the environment and living sustainably.

ECOSS is at 711 Old Warburton Road, Wesburn. The shop is open from 9am to 4pm Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Partner was killed over cash From Page 1 The court heard that Klaussner admitted to killing Ms Barnes only after being shown footage he had filmed of himself committing a sex act in the cabin on the night of the murder.

Justice Hollingsworth questioned defence barrister Tony Trood, who said his client had told police he was “flying on ice� when he watched pornography filmed himself on Ms Barnes’ phone.

In relation to Mr Trood’s comments that the motivation for the sexual behaviour conducted by his client was a recognised clinical side effect of ice use, Justice Hollingsworth questioned the relative timeframes.

She said also: “His imme-

diate instinct after killing Ms Barnes isn’t to do anything, or to tend in relation to her, it’s to go and meet his addictive needs and look after himself.�

Ms Barnes was a mother and grandmother.

Her son, in a victim impact statement read to the court, said there wasn’t a day that went by that he and his partner didn’t think or talk about his mother. “Our son asks about ‘Big Nan’.�

He said they were expecting a second child. “It is a shame she is missing out on lives of her grandsons. “Our lives have changed forever.�

Her (the deceased’s) mother said the toll of her daughter’s

death was insurmountable. “The grieving is constantly with us,� she said.

Her brother said he still had days when he expected his sister to ring. “I go back to the night I got the phone call and wonder if all the people in my life should be brought closer, or should I push them away,� he said. “Watching the emotional pressure on my parents makes me think, am I doing enough. “I sit and wonder what would have become of her as we got older. “We will never know.�

Klaussner faces a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment when he is sentenced in June.

THE group which led a successful campaign against Narconon’s relocation to Warburton township has welcomed a recent finding that the organisation has made false claims about the effectiveness of its drug rehabilitation program.

Get Off Drugs Naturally (GODN) which runs the Narconon program in a remote location at East Warburton was fined $3000 by Consumer Affairs Victoria on 7 May and ordered to remove false claims from its website that its detox treatments could cure drug addiction.

Say No To Narconon spokesperson, Lindy Schneider, said the issues responded to by CAV were issues they raised throughout the Yarra Ranges Council permit process, and the resulting VCAT challenge by Narconon.

Ms Schneider said while the issues around claims made about treatment effectiveness, and other non-planning issues were not part of the consideration process, they were nonetheless issues that were of concern.

“From the perspective of Say No To Narconon (SNTN) Warburton, we are pleased that this investigation by CAV has occurred and believe the outcome is a fair and considered response that has touched on the many issues we knew were of key significance for the community,” Ms Schneider said.

“It is a useful adjunct to the VCAT ruling and we are relieved that there has been action taken to rectify the misleading nature of the material we encountered as we prepared our community response, which will be of benefit to the general public.”

Following the VCAT decision in December last year, SNTN called for a parliamentary inquiry into the continued operations of GODN at East Warburton, saying risks that came to light during the campaign, and during the VCAT hearing, demanded a response.

“We fully support and welcome facilities located in appropriate circumstances and with the necessary accreditation, evidence-based practice and accessibility our community deserves,” she said at the time.

“This has never been the

Community Diary

case with Narconon/GODN.” In response, president of GODN, Dr Nerida James, said a parliamentary inquiry would be a waste of time and money and said anyone with concerns should contact the relevant government authorities and agencies charged with investigating the matters raised.

The CAV notice was, in fact, issued in October last year and found that GODN was unable to provide evidence that 10 testimonials were genuinely from patients, or that all the claims made about the treatment program were supported by independently varified scientific evidence.

Claims of their success rate were also discounted as unproven.

“The CAV ruling should be encouraging for anyone in Australia who has been at Get Off Drugs/Narconon that has been aggrieved and feels like lodging a complaint with the Health Services Commissioner,” Ms Schneider said.

The Mail provided an opportunity for GODN/Narconon to respond to the CAV rulings, but has not received a response.

Big moves on campus

By JESSE GRAHAM LILYDALE’S former Swinburne campus could be the site of the Yarra Ranges’ new technical school, with the government moving to have the campus filled and running next year.

Last week, Monbulk MP and Deputy Premier, James Merlino, said the former campus could be the site of a new technical school promised for the area under the latest State Budget.

Technical schools are set to be established across the state under the budget, with $8 million in total set aside for planning.

Mr Merlino said there “may be the opportunity to locate the Tech School on this site,” and that the government was in talks with Swinburne and other educational providers to try and get the site sold and bring in another provider for TAFE and university classes.

Amie Kanshlo, a former Lilydale Swinburne student and campaigner as part of the Save Swinburne Lilydale group, said there was initial confusion over whether the technical school would mean TAFE and university classes could not be offered at the campus.

However, she said it had been made clear that all three could be accommodated at the site, and said there was relief and anticipation for the next steps.

“If it’s possible, I’ll definitely be

relieved, but we’ll see how it goes,” she said.

Mr Merlino said that he expected the site would be “operating in some provision” in the first half of next year, though no plans had been announced for a provider coming on board.

Ms Kanshlo said that, until a provider was confirmed, the future of the site was “up in the air”.

“The future is up in the air until something is done and we’ll figure it out from there,” she said.

Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe said that an Expressions of Interest process was being undertaken for the campus, though she said it might not draw any results.

“I know there’s not a university that really wants to come to Lilydale,” she said.

“I personally think that the only way the government is going to get a TAFE or a university to come is if they offer them financial incentives.”

An EOI process under the former government last year netted no results, as there were strict criteria on maintaining the site as an educational precinct.

The Mail contacted Mr Merlino’s office with questions about the criteria for the current EOI process and for a response to Ms Fyffe’s comments, but did not receive a response by deadline.

Eyes wide open for possums

By KATH GANNAWAY ENVIRONMENT Minister Lisa Neville has said there will be no pre-determined outcomes from a new industry taskforce set up to look at Central Highlands native forests.

Ms Neville told the Mail she believed the climate was changing on the divisive issue of logging of native forests and the preservation of both the forests and Leadbeater’s Possum.

On the proposition that the two were mutually exclusive, Ms Neville said everything was on the table.

“We went to the election with a commitment to do the industry taskforce,” she said.

“It will acknowledge the importance of jobs in the forest industry, whether plantation or other, and will acknowledge some environmental issues, including the future of the possum.”

The new ‘climate’ in which the taskforce will be working includes the recent classification of Leadbeater’s Possum as critically endangered and

a recommendation by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee that ceasing timber harvesting in mountain ash forests was the most effective way to prevent further decline of the possum.

On those points, and the previous government’s attempt to come to a resolution with the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG), Ms Neville said the taskforce would be working with different parameters.

LPAG was co-convened by Zoos Victoria and the Victorian Association of Forest Industries and included representatives from Parks Victoria, VicForests and the Leadbeater’s Possum Recovery Team.

Their brief was to provide recommendations to the government that focused on supporting the recovery of the possum while maintaining a sustainable timber industry.

Ms Neville said the new taskforce would not come with a predetermined outcome.

“LPAG was not a forum,” she said.

“There was a limitation on what

that group could do, and Zoos would say they had terms of reference that did not go beyond that.

“I’m not saying ‘here are my terms of reference’, it’s all on the table with the need to genuinely look at these issues.

“The question of ‘Do we need a Great Forest National Park?’ was never on the table before, and how do you get there, given jobs and the industry?

On her own view of whether the solution lay in the creation of the Great Forest National Park, and whether she was in favour of it, Ms Neville said her position had been consistent.

“I am in favour of allowing the key parties to find solutions.

“We have a process which is about looking at the issues and looking at a way that is least divisive,” she said.

“I think everyone sitting around the table is there not to be divisive, but to find solutions.”

The industry taskforce includes the timber industry, government, union and environment groups.

Letters Witness to two accidents I’M WRITING in response to your article of 5 May, about Maroondah Highway between Healesville and Narbethong.

We moved to Buxton one year ago and, during that time, I have witnessed two accidents.

One was about the same place late last year where the same thing happened, a car rolled down.

The second accident was on the Spur.

I was going down to Lilydale, driving around a bend before Dom Dom picnic ground, when a motorbike rider negotiating a bend lost control and came off.

It was his lucky day, because it was a weekday and not much traffic.

Two others in a car and myself stopped to help.

He didn’t want us to call anyone.

We gathered all his belongings, which had spilled over the road.

He wasn’t physically hurt, just badly shaken.

Had that happened over the weekend, he would have not been so lucky, or us, because the cars travel at excessive speed and too close

to each other.

Also, many people speed and take unnecessary risks, overtaking cars and coming around the bend on the wrong side of the road.

Trucks are quite bad as well.

Dropping the speed, or putting up more barriers, is not going to work because no-one worries about that now.

Police can’t patrol that area 24/7.

The best option is putting permanent speed cameras all along that stretch of road.

Hitting people in the back pocket will slow them down.

Other than that, install speed humps every so many metres, kilometres or whatever, or any sort of device that would slow down the drivers.

Also, ban any bicycles on that road as they cause a lot of problems as well.

Julie Carter, Buxton.

HICCI’s feet feat ON BEHALF of Healesville Interchurch Community Care (HICCI), I would like to thank the wonderful sponsors, supporters, volunteers, staff

and participants in the recent HICCI Fun Run/ Walkathon.

This event is a major fund-raiser for HICCI, helping us to provide the service and assistance needed by many in our local communities.

This year we decided to change the traditional walkathon to include a fun run.

We hoped to attract more potential participants from the wider community.

This was very successful, with over 150 generous people signing up to participate.

We even doubled the usual number of walkers.

Ron Hysted, HICCI President.

Take road seriously THE Black Spur Road between Healesville and Narbethong is an iconic stretch passing through Melbourne’s catchment area and a National Park, and is featured in many car advertisements for good reason.

Constantly, the road has been built up, widened, re-sealed, signposted prolifically; speed restricted, and been under police surveillance.

At some point another sign, guard rail, speed limit change, safety rope barrier, police radar ... is not going to reduce the crash rate.

If the speed limit is reduced any further, drivers will be falling asleep behind the wheel or rolling back down the hill.

Eighty kilometres per hour is the maximum speed limit, which doesn’t mean you have to do this speed round the corners.

Drive to suit the conditions.

It would be a fairly accurate guess to suspect drivers and their attitude to electronic devices is a contributing factor.

The road surface is supremely fine and smooth, and perhaps that isn’t well suited to mountain and winter conditions.

It seems to hold the water and reflects back headlights at night when wet.

Perhaps another type of road surface could improve traction.

But we cannot construct and control roads to cater for every possible hazard.

Australian road users just need to take their driving more seriously.

Nella Lithgow, Healesville.

Two of the plans allowed for completely new buildings but the third incorporated the existing structure. A decision was reached in favour of the second new building.

Healesville Guardian 4 May 1935 Healesville Council May Buy Trucks IT IS on the cards that the Healesville Council may shortly purchase a motor truck for its stone quarrying and crushing operations.

The shire president said he thought it wise to consider the advantages of owning a truck in view of the fact that over £ 900 had been spent on the truck hire during the last year.

Having installed its own crushing plant and with much work to be done, including Don Road it would be a payable proposition for the council to own at least one truck.

When not in use on shire works, the truck could be hired out.

In Case You Didn’t Know THE trail rides arranged by the Healesville Horseman’s Club are proving very popular and educational. The next outing is to be a half day’s ride to Badger Creek and District. Because of the inclement weather the postponed ride to Mt Dom Dom and Mt Monda has been temporarily abandoned.

Only occasional showers fell on Wednesday.

The floodwaters receding considerably and the ‘world famous tourist resort’ was soon mending its ways and getting back to normal again.

The floods caused a fair amount of damage to crops and pasture lands. Several small bridges were washed away. On Wednesday, the floodwaters that covered the main Melbourne road had subsided sufficiently to allow the resumption of traffic. In the morning, most service cars made the trip to Melbourne by way of Toolangi and Kinglake.

It is with a heavy but hopeful heart that we are packing up The White Rabbit brewery on the 29th May and setting up a new homestead within the Little Creatures Brewery site in Geelong.

The stupendous support we have received from the Healesville community has enabled our brewery to grow considerably. So much in fact, that we no longer have enough space to weave our magic on ales of all-kinds.

It is for this reason that we are packing up our humble brew kit and setting up The Warren anew in Geelong. With the gift of additional space, we will be experimenting with many magical flavours and perhaps even introducing some new ales to our range.

On behalf of all of the staff at White Rabbit we wish to thank the Healesville community and the community of the greater Yarra Ranges for their support since 2009.

Strategy to boost wine businesses

By KATH GANNAWAY

By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Valley wine industry representatives could have the government’s ear after a $1 million announcement to boost tourism and wine exports in the State Budget..

On Thursday 30 April, Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford announced $1 million under the new budget to fund the development of a Victorian Wine Tourism Strategy to bolster the state’s wine industry.

Ms Pulford said the strategy would drive the development of the industry; focus on all types of businesses, whether small, growing, emerging or established and would aim to increase tourism and job creation.

A wine Industry Ministerial Advisory Group will also be established, which will feature industry representatives advising the government on a number of issues.

Wine Yarra Valley CEO Richard Howden said the announcement had big implications for the valley, which was one of the state’s notable wine regions.

“With the Yarra Valley being Victoria’s premier food and wine region, it’s going to mean that any addition to wine through tourism into Victoria is going to certainly benefit us,” Mr Howden said.

“We’re the key region, that’s why it’s particularly good for us.”

Mr Howden said the announcement would be a leg-up for the “struggling” industry, particularly smaller wineries, which rely on tourist traffic.

“The industry overall has been struggling and, more and more, the smaller wineries are very much focused on cellar door and direct sales,” he said.

“For us to be able to drive a bit of ad-

Ivan Gaal and subject Ronnie Howard taken at the Warburton Picture: JAMES LUMSDEN-KEYS portrait exhibition. 139130 he said.

He will celebrate his 100th birthday on 29 January next year.

The photo, taken in front of the stage in the Mechanics Institute, recognises a community triumph in saving the hall which was earmarked for demolition.

“I’m not a skite,” Ronnie said, “but it celebrates the hall and the beauty of my neighbours who helped me when we started a fund going.”

The exhibition will travel throughout north-east Australia, but won’t come to Victoria.

There is the opportunity, however, to vote in the People’s Choice Award.

ditional tourism, that’s tremendous.”

Though details of the Ministerial Advisory Group have yet to be established, Mr Howden said that a roundtable discussion would be happening in the near future, possibly in the next financial year.

He said he was confident that the Yarra Valley, either through direct representatives or representatives of groups such as Wine Victoria, would be able to have a say on key issues.

“It wouldn’t surprise me at all if there were one or two people, as we’re the leading wine region, on the committee,” Mr Howden said.

A stumbling block for the wine industry in previous years, according to Mr Howden, was that the wine industry falls under a number of different ministerial portfolios, including Tourism and Agriculture, making it hard to make industrywide representations to government.

With the advisory group, the wine industry will be able to directly liaise with government as a whole, rather than individual ministers, and will open discussions.

Asked whether it would help Yarra Valley wineries to broach issues such as planned burning interfering with wine growing seasons, Mr Howden said it was a possibility.

“What’s been announced ... will be a bit more focused on the tourism and export aspect,” he said.

“But it certainly enables us to bring up issues that face the industries - we’re talking to the right people and we can bring those issues up.”

The government will host a largescale wine industry trade mission in May, bringing 100 key international wine buyers, investors and industry figures to Victoria, including the Yarra Valley.

TWO enduring Warburton talents have come together to put the town in the national lens.

Retired film-maker and photographer Ivan Gaal’s photograph of 99-year-old Ronnie Howard is one of works in the 2015 National Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition on show at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

Ron is Still Dancing at 98 is one of 44 portraits selected from 2500 entries from around Australia for the photographic equivalent of the Archibald Prize.

Mr Gaal said he knew eight years ago when he saw Ronnie take to the dance floor that he wanted to capture him on film.

It wasn’t until he got to know him and discovered his leading role in saving the Mechanic’s Hall in Warburton, his jazz connections and that he donated a piano for the hall, that he knew how to capture his unique subject.

The competition aims to reflect the distinctive vision of Australia’s aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.

“I think I managed,” Mr Gaal said, and it’s not only the judges who agree.

Ronnie described Ivan as a genius with a camera.

And he is thrilled with the portrait which he said captures and celebrates so many of the things he is passionate about.

“I have danced all my life.

“I just love people, and I love dancing.

“It’s something I shared with my twin sisters, Jean, who has passed on, and Sheila who is 102 in June,”

Lower rate rise planned

By JESSE GRAHAM RATEPAYERS appear to be the outright winners of the Yarra Ranges Council’s new draft budget, with lower than expected rate rises for the coming year.

On Tuesday 12 May, the council unanimously endorsed the 2015-’16 draft budget, which maps out the council’s planned spending for the coming year.

The budget outlines $39.22 million in new capital works, which will be added to $20.08 million in works carried over from the current financial year.

The Capital Works Program features winners in the Yarra Valley and in the hills, with Healesville’s Don Road Sporting Pavilion allocated $800,000 for works, along with $2 million towards the Monbulk Regional Soccer Centre’s construction.

But the big winner from the budget appears to be ratepayers, who will only have a 3.3 per cent

rate rise, instead of an anticipated 4.8 per cent.

Yarra Ranges Council CEO Glenn Patterson said the 1.5 per cent cut on the rate rise was a one-off reduction in the aftermath of the carbon tax repeal, which is equivalent to returning about $2 million to the public.

“We had to find close to $2 million of operational expenditure savings to return the 1.5 per cent carbon price back to the community - we’ve done that,” he said.

Mr Patterson and Corporate Services director Troy Edwards said the savings were found by “doing more with less”, including not renewing jobs in some departments when vacancies came up.

In the lead-up to the State Government’s rate-capping for councils, Yarra Ranges has forecast the coming years’ rate increases at 3.9 per cent ongoing, also down from 4.8 per cent.

This, according to Mr Patterson and Mr Edwards, may change de-

pending on the government’s approach to the capping, which has yet to be revealed.

“We’re anticipating we probably have to make a move lower, but we just don’t know,” Mr Edwards said.

“We have to start to think about how to grow that culture, how to do more with less.”

The proposal to cap council rates at the Consumer Price Index was promised by Labor before the election, and the cap is expected to be brought in for the 2016-’17 financial year.

CPI is currently about 2.5 per cent - significantly lower than the current rate increases.

As for this year’s 3.3 per cent increase, the budget lists maintaining service levels and meeting costs, including a reduction in the Victorian Grants Commission allocation and capital works making up 1.8 per cent and 1.5 per cent respectively.

In the 2015-’16 year,

$122,853,000 is expected to be raised from council rates, up $4,911,000 from last year’s rate collection. The whole budget manages $171 million across the shire.

Of the $39.22 million for capital works, $10.29 million will be spent on roadworks, $3.61 million on footpaths and $2.69 million on parks and open spaces.

Members of the public can make submissions until 5pm on Thursday 11 June.

A public meeting on the draft budget will be held at 7pm on Tuesday 16 June, at the Civic Centre on Anderson Street in Lilydale, where all submissions will be considered.

The full document, including the proposed long-term financial plan and the council plan (2015 update) is now online at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

Yarra Valley’s big ticket budget

By JESSE GRAHAM FOR the Yarra Valley, this year’s council budget is all about big ticket infrastructure, repairs and renewals, with millions of dollars in capital works money coming into the area.

Mayor Maria McCarthy dubbed the 2015-’16 Yarra Ranges Council budget as “pro-active and realistic”, balancing the need to save funds with $39.2 million being added to the capital works program.

The program features two new sporting pavilions, with $800,000 for Healesville’s Don Road Sporting Pavilion’s construction and $100,000 for the design of the Upwey-Tecoma Community Recreational and Sporting Hub (UTCRASH).

Upper Yarra residents will have footpath works scattered around, with one of the most expensive jobs being $300,000 for works on Beenak Road in Wandin North between Warburton Highway and Quayle Road.

Cavanagh Road in Millgrove will have $170,000 spent on footpath works, while Harberts Road and Old Don Road in Don Valley, from Don Road to the Don Valley Primary School, will have $150,000 in footpath works.

In Yarra Junction, the council will contribute $200,000 to a redevelopment of the Ben’s Shed garage, supplemented by $30,000 in external funding.

In the lower Yarra Valley, two bridges will be replaced and widened, on Sunnyside Road in Gruyere and Walkers Lane in Healesville, with $910,000 and $1,319,000 spent respectively along with numerous footpath works and township improvements across the valley.

The budget papers also list a feasibility study to be completed in the coming year about establishing a Yarra Valley Trail link, which would run from Lilydale to Warburton via Yarra Glen and Healesville, making a loop with the Warburton to Lilydale Rail Trail.

A spokesperson for the council said the study will be done in the 2015-'16 financial year.

Pleasure and pain

By JESSE GRAHAM HELP for small businesses and a backdown from last year’s more intense measures are two notable standouts from last week’s Federal Budget, with pleasure and pain in its pages for Yarra Ranges residents.

On Tuesday, 12 May, the Federal Government released its budget for the coming financial year, outlining new savings, along with policies for businesses and families across the country.

Small businesses are expected to be one of the best-off groups under the Federal Budget, with the government bringing in a new immediate tax deduction for any assets purchased for less than $20,000.

Any of these assets - a lawnmower, industrial oven, coffee machine or printer were examples given by the government - can have their entire cost deducted from tax, as long as the business has an annual turnover of under $2 million.

Tax on small business is also to drop by 1.5 per cent, and unincorporated small businesses will receive a five per cent tax discount - up to $1000 - each year.

According to treasurer, Joe Hockey, the budget also features provisions for farmers, who will be able to make immediate tax deductions on new fencing, as well as adding $250 million into the Drought Concessional Loan Scheme.

The government backed down on its controversial proposal to bring in a six-month waiting period for Newstart payments for those aged under 25 from last year’s budget, replacing it with a

Valley roads get big boost from Federal Budget

By JESSE GRAHAM

Healesville cartoonist, Danny Zemp, has his take on the latest Federal Budget. 139147 Picture: DANNY ZEMP four-week waiting period in the latest budget - the current waiting period is two weeks.

Under the government’s recently-announced ‘no jab, no pay’ policy, parents whose children do not have up-to-date vaccinations will lose access to Family Tax Benefit Part A’s end-of-year supplement and subsidised childcare.

The budget papers estimate this will affect the families of 39,000 children under the age of

seven across the country who do not have up-to-date vaccinations.

The policy’s only exemption is for medical reasons - religious or personal objection will no longer allow parents to continue to receive payments - and will begin in January 2016.

The proposed GP co-payment or increased Medicare payments proposed under last year’s budget, which were widely protested and later killed off by Prime Minister

Tony Abbott, does not appear to have returned in this year’s documents.

THE Yarra Valley will receive a boost in funding for local roads under the latest Federal Budget, with Roads to Recovery funding doubled, according to Casey MP Tony Smith.

In a post-budget statement, Mr Smith praised a number of measures in his government’s budget, including a number of packages to assist small businesses.

Mr Smith said one standout measure was an immediate tax deduction for assets under $20,000 purchased by small businesses from Budget Night (12 May) until 30 June 2017.

“The new $5.5 billion Growing Jobs and Small Business package will help local small businesses in the outer-east and Yarra Valley to invest more, grow their enterprises and employ more locals,” he said.

The Roads to Recovery program, which supports maintenance of local roads by funding councils, has been doubled under the budget, and the Yarra Ranges will receive $3.3 million in the 2015-’16 year.

The money will be allocated to Yarra Ranges Council to use for local road improvements.

Meanwhile, La Trobe

MP, Jason Wood, announced that the Yarra Ranges would receive $3.835 million to fund the construction of a Multi-Purpose Health Hub in Belgrave.

Mr Wood said the Belgrave hub would be a “onestop health hub” for communities surrounding the town, with numerous Yarra Ranges Council and external groups based under one roof.

Yarra Ranges Youth Services, Maternal and Child Health, Aged and Disability Services, Inspiro and the Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Services will all be located in the hub, which will sit at the current Youth Services site next to the Cameo Theatre.

The funding accompanies $1 million in State Government funding in last year’s budget, and the Yarra Ranges Council has said it would fund the remaining costs for the $8.3 million building.

Yarra Ranges Council Director of Social and Economic Development, Ali Wastie, said the grant was the largest community infrastructure grant the council had ever received.

WARBURTON fire-fighters are inviting the community to have some fun, and shine a light on the role volunteer fire-fighters have played in the town over the past 100 years.

An open day on Saturday, 30 May, includes music, food and children’s activities, from 11am leading up to the official centenary ceremony - unveiling of the bell at 4pm, and the torchlight parade at 6.30pm.

The torchlight parade in Victoria is based on tradition and is a spectacular sight.

It will undoubtedly be a memorable highlight of the local CFA’s centenary year.

Volunteer fire-fighters in uniform or turnout gear carrying lighted, open-wick lamps, will march through the town from the Alpine Hotel to the fire station.

Marching bands will add to the atmosphere with music, light and, no doubt, cheering and applause from an appreciative community for brigade volunteers past and present.

Local artist, Sioux Dollman is holding a lanternmaking workshop at the station at noon, so don’t be left in the dark - the more lanterns, the more spectacular the parade will be.

Activities will include historical fire trucks, face painting, a jumping castle, a visit by Captain Koala, the smoke house (a timely winter exercise), and Little Pat the Helicopter.

The fireys will be putting their sausage sizzling skills on the line and there will be great coffee and music.

The open day is also a chance to personally thank the brigade, and catch up with the fire-fighters who dedicate their time to helping not only their own community, but others when disaster strikes around the state.

Turnout is from 11am at the fire station, 3484 Warburton Highway.

It’s about giving back for artist Pamela Gordon and Coombe’s Daniel Johnson, pictured with Captain Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Hazel Clothier. 138804 Healesville artist, Pamela Gordon, is one of more than 20 artists who have put their own interpretation on items including helmets, fire hoses and extinguishers.

She said she had spent many happy days painting on the Yarra River at Warburton, so it was a natural

choice for her helmet.

“It is also thanks to the fire brigades who were out there on Black Saturday that we will have our house, so it’s to show support and appreciation,” she said.

Bell Real Estate Would Like To Wish The Warburton Fire Brigade A Very Happy 100th Birthday

1184377-RC21-15

IN A year that celebrates 100 years of fire-fighting service to the community, Warburton Fire Brigade is looking forward to sharing two special events with the local community in May and June.

A unique art exhibition, and a community open day and lantern parade will add to earlier celebrations that included the 100-years photographic exhibition and the Centenary Dinner.

When Dame Nellie Melba opened the first Warburton Fire Station in February, 1915, it was a momentous event for the town.

The threads that linked Melba’s home ‘Coombe’ in Coldstream and the Warburton community all those years ago continue with HelmART, an exhibition of fire-fighting equipment transformed into works of art by local artists.

HelmART will run from 22 May to 2 June at the new Coombe - The Melba Estate, culminating in an auction on Tuesday, 2 June.

Estate manager, Daniel Johnson, said in addition to the original Melba connection, her grand-daughter, the late Pamela Lady Vestey, was an ardent supporter of the CFA. “She was very appreciative of the work they do, not just here at Coldstream, but throughout the region,” he said.

“So, it makes sense to do everything we can to utilise this property to recognise and assist the wonderful job the volunteers do.”

Watch wheels in winter

By JESSE GRAHAM WINTER is coming, and if last week’s weather is any indication, it's going to be a wet one.

Police are urging drivers to pay attention to the roads and follow the law, with roads getting drenched and a number of drivers caught flaunting the law.

Yarra Glen Police Sergeant, Richard Coulson said drivers needed to be careful on the wet roads, particularly after an incident earlier this month, where he caught a driver travelling 90 kilometres over the speed limit.

As reported in last week’s Mail, a 53-year-old Maribyrnong man and his wife were caught speeding at 193 kilometres per hour while overtaking on St Hubert’s Road in Yering - 93km/h over the limit.

It was the fastest speed Sgt Coulson had ever recorded on his in-car speed detector.

“That was a sunny day and it was a straight stretch of road,” Sgt Coulson said.

“But the roads are still speed limited for obvious reasons.”

The problem, Sgt Coulson said, is that travelling over the speed limit leaves drivers less prepared for hazards, and puts them in significantly more danger should they lose control.

“I think people need to drive to expect the unexpected,” he said.

“It can be from wildlife issues - we get a lot of kangaroos getting it and some of those are very large in size and cause a lot of destructive damage to a motor vehicle - and we obviously have slow-moving farm machinery ... which creates its own hazards if you’re driving at those speeds.

“I suppose it comes back to the circumstances of the collision and the make and safety of the vehicle - the vehicle he was driving was a near-brandnew Audi vehicle with very high safety features, but I certainly wouldn’t want to test the theory out.”

With the colder weather hitting and accompanying heavy rains, roads can often become soaked and laden with puddles, which can make it easier for cars to lose traction and lose control.

“Occasionally, we get heavy dumps of rain and people hit patches of water left on the road surface and are losing control,” Sgt Coulson said.

“We’ve got notorious bends, like the

Yarra Glen Police Sergeant Richard Coulson and Leading Senior Constable Tim Stewart are asking drivers to Picture: JESSE GRAHAM be careful on wet roads and to stick to the speed limits. 139099 spur area, because of the road surface and the slightly off-camber section.”

And all it takes is a moment for a drive to go wrong.

Sgt Coulson said drivers losing control wasn’t uncommon, citing a crash from about a month ago on the ElthamYarra Glen Road, where a 19-year-old Millgrove man lost control on a wet stretch of road.

“It appears his wheels have managed to lose a bit of traction just off the edge of the road surface, and he hit a tree at 70 kilometres per hour,” he said.

The driver was airlifted to hospital, and managed to not only survive the crash, but also come through with no broken bones.

The car, however, was not so lucky - photos from the crash show the front driver’s side wheel pushed back under the driver’s seat and the steering wheel

A Millgrove driver crashed into a tree in Yarra Glen at 70km/h after Picture: CONTRIBUTED losing traction on a wet road. 139129 on the passenger side of the car.

With winter still on the horizon, the weather is only set to be colder and

wetter, and paying extra attention to the roads - and the speed limit - could prevent catastrophe.

Wet and windy?

Take care!

WINTER is not officially here yet, but there has already been plenty of wet and windy weather.

VicRoads is reminding all road users of the importance of taking extreme care in difficult driving conditions and urges motorists to follow a few simple steps to help improve safety on the roads this winter.

Wet weather should be a prompt to slow down.

Driving in wet and windy weather can make it harder to drive safely and motorists are urged to match their driving to the weather conditions.

Leave a greater distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front.

Be alert for other road users who may be difficult to see, such as motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Use low beam headlights during the day if poor weather reduces visibility.

Obey speed limits, particularly on the bridge, as speed limits may be lowered due to high winds.

If the rain is too heavy for your wipers to cope, the best course of action is to pull over and wait until visibility improves.

Traffic slows during wet and windy weather and that’s a good thing - people need to drive to the conditions.

Secure your load.

Keep your car roadworthy in particular, check tyres, windscreen wipers and brake lights on a regular basis.

Most importantly - be patient.

Plan your journey and monitor VicTraffic for road condition updates.

And, if you see a road hazard, call 13 11 70 and VicRoads will attend.

MAKE A LIFESTYLE CHOICE CARMYLE Farm was selected by the settlers in the 1800s as a prime allotment in the Steavenson River Valley and has had only three owners in that time. It was first sold in 1918 and then sold again to the current owners in February 2003.

This â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s brick veneer home was built close to where the original homestead stood and has been totally renovated and extended to suit the modern family.

There is hardly a window that does not have a view of the gardens or ranges.

The modern kitchen with stainless steel Fisher and Paykel double dish drawers and gas/electric 900cm oven with stainless steel canopy has been designed for the modern day cook while still having the warmth of a polished timber breakfast bar, beautiful

granite benchtops and good-sized pantry.

There is enough room to cook up a country storm for friends and family.

The large lounge/dining area is separated by a handmade wrought iron and timber staircase that leads to the mezzanine library area with built-in double day bed and views across the paddocks to the Cathedral Ranges.

The office/study is tucked away to the side for privacy. There is also the fully enclosed outdoor entertaining area, which opens off the lounge through double French doors, where you can entertain all year round.

The master suit is huge and comprises full ensuite with central free standing bath, shower and beautiful vanity. Large walk-in

robe and bedroom/parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat area you have to see to believe.

The two other double bedrooms have built-in robes and share the main bathroom which again has bath, shower and beautiful vanity.

Outside, the wide verandahs on two sides of the home allow you to sit and take in the views to the Cathedral Ranges and the gardens with ornamental trees, some over 100 years old and planted by the original settlers.

There is also a large, well-ordered, vegie/ kitchen garden with a raspberry patch and pumpkin patch and just beyond this is the small orchard area with many fruit trees.

For the farmer in you, there are 25 rich, biologically farmed, acres split into 12

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

paddocks, with a reticulated water supply.

Two large sheds, about 22,000 gallon water storage tanks, cattleyards, an easement for water to the Little Steavenson River and a freshwater well with pump, so you can be sure you have plenty of water.

If you need more land, there is the adjoining 75 acres, on a separate title, with river frontage to both the Little Steavenson and Steavenson Rivers.

There is a building envelope in the perfect spot to take in all the views. This is currently on the market separately, but can be sold as a package.

All inspections are by appointment only with 24 hour notice so call today to arrange.

Some of the weird, wacky and gross items that make up the Andy Griffiths' Secret Stuff exhibition at Healesville's Memo Hall.

This psycho won’t give a bum steer

By JESSE GRAHAM ANDY Griffiths is a children’s writer who needs no introduction. His books, from the JUST! Series, which have been published since the 1990s, to The Day My Bum Went Psycho trilogy, have captivated young readers - including this journalist - for more than a decade.

Yarra Valley residents have just a few days left to take a look at the writer’s inner workings

by visiting the Andy Griffiths’ Secret Stuff exhibition at Healesville’s Memo Hall.

The exhibition features items and writings that inspired his best-selling children’s books, including his school notebook filled with notes and scrawlings that turned into his famous stories.

Griffiths’s first type-writer, the psycho bum itself, and items that featured in his stories, will

all be on display at The Memo until this Sunday, 24 May. The exhibition came about as part of the Stories Up High, Yarra Ranges Writers Festival, which hosted Griffiths at Sky High Mount Dandenong for a special talk and book signing on Sunday 17 May. The writers' festival events continue through to this weekend. For more information, visit www.storiesuphigh.com.au.

Death by double-click Unfriended Starring Shelley Hennig, Renee Olstead, Will Peltz Rated MA15+ for strong themes, violence and coarse language UNFRIENDED is a surprisingly decent horror movie, despite its poor characters.

On the first anniversary of her death, a ghost haunts the Skype conversation of five friends whose online harassment drove her to suicide.

Unfriended is a commendable effort to tell a modern horror story about social media and cyberbullying.

The film has effective slow-burning suspense punc-

tuated by horrific violence, and even some good subtle foreshadowing involving household objects.

It was a potentially foolish decision to have the film take place entirely on a computer desktop, but Unfriended makes the most of its confined “setting”, with distortions and tell-tale glitches suggesting ghostly influence and keeping you on edge.

This feels like a filmed “creepypasta”, which is the term for horror stories and urban legends circulated on (and often about) the internet.

Unfortunately, Unfriended’s terrible characters are a major stumbling point.

Yes, they’re hormonal, judgemental teens; they’re supposed to be terrible. But they’re one-dimensionally mean and uninteresting, so you don’t really care when they start dying.

The film steadily culls the cast down to the likeable few, but the ghost has long since made up its mind and the final deaths become inevitable, thus sapping the tension.

Unfriended is well worth checking out, but it’s much better if taken as a revenge movie for the ghost than as a survival movie for the mortals.

THERE’S no question the Healesville Beechworth Bakery is the bee’s knees.

This is especially the case at this time of year, as the bakery offers up its famous 10 cent beesting sale.

The bakery runs the sale each year and is highly anticipated by the many regular customers.

The sale presents an exciting chance to purchase a few extra beestings, in order to share with family and friends.

The beloved beestings are filled with creamy custard, then topped with almonds and icing sugar.

The enthusiastic staff are ready to fill your orders and the beestings are filled and ready to go.

The bakery has a long, proud history of serving high quality baked goods, as well as supporting the community.

Originally established in Beechworth, the Healesville bakery is one of six that are located in Victorian towns.

Now a Healesville icon, the bakery combines old-fashioned service with modern facilities.

Manager, Kylie Bray, says customers are drawn to the personal touch.

“We offer great customer service and enthusiastic and friendly staff to cater to our customers’ needs,” she said.

Open seven days a week, from 6am to 6pm, the bakery is in the perfect location on the Maroondah Highway in Healesville.

It caters to groups of all sizes and offers a huge carpark, capable of holding anything from motorbikes to caravans.

While sitting outside, visitors to the bakery can enjoy great views of the mountains, from the relaxing outdoor setting.

Kylie Bray at Beechworth Bakery with beestings. 139013_05 The grassed area allows visitors to take in the beautiful park bridge, as well as making for easy access to the park.

Inside, the bakery has a friendly and relaxing vibe.

It boasts an open-seating plan, plenty of tables, a play area for the kids, as well as couches for the travel-weary.

For more information, contact the bakery on 1300 233 784.

has been providing a good level of service for more than seven years, building a solid reputation for reliability and service.

The busiest time of the year is autumn, which, in terms of farming, begins early February, extending through until June.

During this time, hundreds of tonnes of products from source suppliers, Unimin Ltd (lime) and Incitec-Pivot (fertiliser), are handled efficiently by the Eddy’s team.

Juggling this busy process falls to Kate Eddy, the office manager/secretary, who continues to seamlessly deal with the product ordering, quoting of jobs and supply issues.

Kate also utilises the advice and agronomy service provided by Graeme McIntyre, who has more than 25 years’ experience in his chosen field.

Farmers are lucky when they get to talk to Graeme directly, who is in a position to visit and perform on-site soil testing, a necessary feature of modern-day farming.

Darren and Kate Eddy are proud of the positive feedback they receive from customers.

Eddy’s Spreading Services can be contacted on (03) 5962 3143, or on Darren’s business mobile 0407 533 951 during business hours.

1177125-RC12-15

WITH a strong background in agricultural lime and fertiliser spreading, Eddy’s Spreading Services was launched in 2003.

Servicing a large physical area - ranging from Croydon and Montrose through to Alexandra and Buxton, and the Glenburn and Yea regions owner-operator Darren Eddy provides his extensive expertise, knowledge and first-class computerised spreading equipment.

Specially made Scorpion spreader bins are fully equipped with electronic scales, further enhancing the spreading service that Eddy’s offers.

The addition of a brandnew Euro-5 rated MercedesBenz four-wheel-drive truck provides excellent capabilities for covering varying terrains, as well as being environmentally friendly.

Darren said economy was a focus for the business.

“Farmers today are very aware of the economics of both product and application costs for all general products; fertiliser, lime and gypsum,” he said.

“The bottom line is that most farmers expect good quality product and great service from both the source supplier and the spreader driver.”

Team spirit builds up A GLORIOUS day greeted the Healesville teams this weekend for their Round 6 games.

The Under 9s, 10s, 12s, 14s and 16s travelled to Woori Yallock; the Under 11s to Upwey and Under 12s Girls to Bayswater.

It was a great game by the Under 9 boys. They once again kept to the game plan well, with long straight kicks; defenders keeping on their man and lots of backing up. Those straight kicks resulted in goals. It is great to see the team spirit grow week to week.

The Under 10s found themselves in a genuine contest against very good opposition.

Their effort was terrific and they controlled most of the play in the second half, but weren’t able to convert their opportunities.

The game was a good learning experience for the boys to be in a tight game after a few easy wins.

The Under 11s came ready to play, and the first half was

closely contested. Only four points in it at half-time.

Upwey scored a few quick goals in third quarter, but to the Under 11s’ credit they fought it out to the end.

It was great to see the team bringing to the game things that have been worked on at training.

The Under 12s Girls took on the experienced Bayswater side. Bayswater’s class showed through and they were leading by 11 goals at half-time. A switch of players, with Bayswater lending a couple of the best players in the second half, made the contest more even in the second half and provided good inspiration for the Healesville girls who continue to improve each week.

The Under 12s had a solid team effort against a determined Woori Yallock. Plenty of run off the backline, some creative work through the midfield and an efficient forward line made for a comprehensive win.

Plenty of big challenges in the

weeks ahead for the Under 12s, but so far, very good.

New Pride of the league

By PETER DOUGLAS

Former Carlton star Brock McLean with sister, Ellie McLean, and her partner, Tenille Cann. 139215 McLean, was also a special guest.

McLean told the ‘Mail’ it wouldn’t be long before the initiative grew into a national event.

“I feel quite strongly about this issue and initially didn’t know how to get my ideas out,” he said.

“I heard about Jason’s story and it wasn’t long before we became friends.

“This is an issue that needs greater attention.”

McLean had been locked in to don the red, black and rainbow for Yarra Glen, but was unable after sustaining a foot injury the day before while playing for Aberfeldie in the Essendon District Football League.

“I got stood on while playing footy

Picture: PETER DOUGLAS Ellie spoke about her initial hesitation, over fear it would affect her brother’s football career.

Also supporting Ellie was panel member Mark Finnis, the chief executive officer of the St Kilda Football Club.

The Mail News Group is a media partner and supporter of the Pride Cup.

and I’ve had a history of injury when playing AFL,” he said.

“But I’m happy to be here and supporting the boys today.”

The luncheon featured an interview with guest panellists, which included McLean’s sister, Ellie, who spoke about her challenges in coming out as gay.

THE annual Pride Cup is fast becoming the premier event in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League calendar.

In a huge tick of approval for the burgeoning event, a host of dignitaries and a huge, enthusiastic crowd attended last Sunday’s clash at the Yarra Glen recreation reserve.

Included in the program was the pre-game luncheon, which Joy FM broadcast live. It featured a host of guest speakers, including former Victorian Premier and present Beyondblue chairman, Jeff Kennett.

Mr Kennett claimed the event as a “stake-in-the-ground” moment for the region.

“It’s not a crime to be gay or have a mental illness,” he said.

“It’s our time to put an end to discrimination against racism and sexuality.”

In addressing the audience, Mr Kennett noted the link between mental illness and the challenges faced by the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and inter-sex (LGBTI) community.

Mr Kennett said the clash between Yarra Glen and Warburton-Millgrove was a fantastic initiative, because it celebrated diversity and inclusion in sport.

The event was initially instigated by coach Dean de Munk and assistant coach, Sam Hills, after Yarra Glen footballer, Jason Ball, came out as a gay footballer in 2012.

Yarra Glen upholds Pride

By JUDY ORREN THE sun shone bright on Yarra Glen on Sunday.

Rainbows were on the ground and on jumpers.

The second Pride Game, which was against Warburton Millgrove this year, was an outstanding success, with Yarra Glen claiming the four points. Lachlan Telford from Yarra Glen and Bianca Daniels from Warburton Millgrove were awarded the Pride Cup medals.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Yarra Glen 13.14 (92) d Warburton Millgrove 11.14 (80) YARRA Glen has come away with a great win after trailing by 19 points at half-time. Warburton looked to have the better running game early and it showed on the scoreboard, reading 8.6 (54) to 5.5 (35) at the long break.

In the third term, Yarra Glen’s defensive game came to the fore. Warburton did attack but only managed 1.6, while Yarra Glen on the rebound booted 4.4 and the margin was reduced to just three points in Warburton’s favour at the last change.

Yarra Glen’s last quarter was a great performance, even though they didn’t blow the opposition away, they looked hungrier and gave themselves more scoring chances. They booted 4.5 to 2.2 to win by 12 points in a real gutsy display.

Yarra Glen best players: L. Telford (Pride Cup Medallist), R. Gurney (1 goal), J. Baughan.

Warburton best players: M. Kocher (2 goals), L. Barnard (1 goal), T. Walker (1 goal).

Monbulk 13.16 (94) d Belgrave 13.12 (90) THIS was a fantastic battle, where unfortunately there had to be a loser. The first half was a goalfor-goal affair with Monbulk just holding sway at half-time by nine points. The third term remained a tight battle. Monbulk did look to be getting on top but they only increased the margin to 16 points by the last change.

The last term was a cracker. Belgrave started to look a bit slicker over the ground, and they gave themselves plenty of chances as they booted 3.4,

but Monbulk’s 2.3 was enough for them to hold on to win by four points in an absolute thriller.

Monbulk best players: S. Williams (1 goal), M. Favrin (4 goals), D. White Belgrave best players: B. Dadswell, J. Cameron, P. Gough.

Wandin 17.16 (118) d Olinda Ferny Creek 3.15 (33) WANDIN look to be unbeatable at this stage, this time with a big 85-point win over Olinda. Wandin wasn’t actually at their best in the first half as they were wasteful, booting 6.12, but they held Olinda to just 1.8 to have a handy 34-point lead at the half. The second half was where the real Wandin showed up. They straightened up and went a lot more direct hitting the scoreboard regularly. They added another 11 goals to their total while Olinda could only manage two goals to see Wandin run away with a big victory.

Wandin best players: S. Dwyer (4 goals), J. Myers, R. Ross (1 goal) Olinda Ferny Creek best players: D. Noorda, K. Currie, D. Rohrmann Upwey Tecoma 15.18 (108) d Mount Evelyn 15.13 (103) MOUNT Evelyn will be kicking themselves after leading by 25 points at half-time and letting this game slip away. Mount Evelyn booted eight goals to four in the first half and arguably could have been further up if they were a little more precise with their ball movement. Upwey turned this game around in the third as they really took the game on. They booted an inaccurate 6.7 to 3.1 and all of a sudden Mount Evelyn’s lead was reduced to just one point at the final change. The last quarter was a dire battle, with both sides giving their all. But it was Upwey that took the lead after scoring 5.3 to 4.3 and were able to hold on to win by five points and break Mount Evelyn’s hearts.

Upwey Tecoma best players: T. Robinson (5 goals), D. Sloane (1 goal), K. Hinton Mount Evelyn best players: M. Martin (6 goals), S. Tesoriero, R. Cowan

Woori Yallock 10.13 (73) d Healesville 6.14 (50) WOORI Yallock best players: S. Kennedy, B. Sneddon (2 goals), M. Lowe.

Healesville best players: A. Hamer (1 goal), D. Plozza, J. Goding.

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Gembrook Cockatoo 13.14 (92) d Alexandra 7.13 (55) GEMBROOK is starting to find its feet after a poor start to the season and have come away with a good 37-point win over Alexandra after a tight first half. Gembrook certainly had the better of the play early, but just couldn’t put a big gap between them and their opponents as there was just 11 points at half-time. Gembrook’s third term was where they made the most of their play down forward, booting 4.2 and even though Alex weren’t playing bad they only managed 1.4 which saw them looking at a 27-point deficit at the last break. Gembrook finished the day off pretty well.

They only booted three last-quarter goals but held Alexandra to just one major to win well and keep their season well and truly alive.

Gembrook Cockatoo best players: R. Wilson (1 goal), C. Vernal, E. Tomlin Alexandra best players: W. Goonan, C. Pearce, B. Cooper (1 goal) Thornton-Eildon 14.7 (91) d Emerald 9.7 (61) THORNTON-EILDON has inflicted Emerald’s first loss of the season, handing them a five-goal loss. Thornton’s pressure throughout the day was sensational as they slowly wore Emerald down.

Emerald did lead by nine points at quarter time, but Thornton’s relentless pressure in the second term paid dividends as they booted four goals to one. They went into half-time with a three-goal advantage. The third term was a great contest with Emerald reducing the margin to just 12 points by the last change, giving them a real sniff going into the last quarter. Thornton’s last quarter was their best as they were the team finishing full of run. They slammed on six last-quarter goals to three to come away with a 30-point win and cause
