Roadside dumping

By JESSE GRAHAM POTENTIALLY harmful chemicals from roadsides may have been collected and dumped at the entrance to Healesville by VicRoads, according to a Healesville resident.

Healesville’s Garry Christie has raised concerns about the appearance of large masses of leaf litter and dirt beside the bridge at the entrance to Healesville, about one kilometre east of Maxwell’s Road.

In a post on his watchdog Facebook page, Healesville Matters, Mr Christie pointed the finger for the alleged dumping at VicRoads and speculated about the chemical make-up of the dumped materials.

A former Shire of Healesville employee, Mr Christie said that, after heavy rains, oils and chemicals on roads ended up in roadsides and in drains, such as those around Healesville.

“I know that the sludgy material that’s cleaned out from drains, is often stagnant materials and build-up - the same as the wash-off from road surfaces,” he said.

“It gets all the brake calliper grindings that build up over time and becomes highly toxic - armed with that type of knowledge, it would be extremely hard to believe that the material that has been dumped there isn’t contaminated.”

Visiting the site of the dumping with Mr Christie, a number of rubbish items were found among the leaf litter, including a single scissor blade - Mr Christie said he had found syringes there in previous days.

The area where the materials were dumped backs onto the Yarra Flats underneath the bridge, where cattle and other animals are often seen - there are also bodies of water nearby.

Mr Christie said that when Yarra Ranges Council undertook street sweeping, they had to dispose of the materials at disposal sites, such as tips, and questioned why the VicRoads materials were not taken there.

Healesville's Garry Christie has raised the alarm about dumped material at the entrance to Healesville. 140397 VicRoads Regional Director for Metro South East, Aidan McGann, said the organisation had been responsible for the materials, which were put near the bridge to fill a depression in the land.

“To fill this, material from drain cleaning and some sweeping has been used,” he said.

“In coming weeks, the material will be levelled out which will allow it to grass over and improve the appearance.”

The land involved in the alleged dumping is a VicRoads road reserve.

The Mail asked VicRoads if the material at the site had been tested to see if it contained harmful chemicals.

“We are undergoing testing on the

site with our environmental team and will proceed appropriately,” Mr McGann said.

Yarra Ranges Council’s Director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis, said the council had made a customer request to VicRoads about the dumping.

“Council has also spoken to a Vic-

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Roads officer about the matter,” he said.

Mr Varmalis confirmed that council street sweepers transported gathered material “to authorised disposal sites”.

He said that any residents aware of illegally dumped rubbish, or who saw anyone illegally dumping rubbish could contact council on 1300 368 333 or at yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

Standing strong for 140

By JESSE GRAHAM A LOT can change in 140 years, but Dixons Creek Primary School principal, Sharon Walker, said some things might not change at all.

“As far as the core values of the school, which are trying to be a family oriented, rural school, where everyone feels included in the community, I think that’s been maintained really well and grown,” she said.

The school, which opened on 12 June, 1875, held its official 140th celebrations on Sunday 21 June, inviting current and past students to a Back to Dixons Creek Primary School event.

“We’re opening up the classrooms for people to have a look, and there’s an afternoon tea - there’s photo sessions, there’s a history board and a concert by current students,” Ms Walker said in an interview before the event.

“We’ve got several generational families, where grandma or grandpa, mum and dad and the children have attended the school.”

The day also doubled as a farewell to retiring teacher, Florence Bowen, who started with the school in 1971 after teaching at Yarra Glen Primary School before that.

“She taught up until March this year,” Ms Walker said.

Though Ms Walker started as school principal in 2002, she said even she had seen a dramatic change in the school, including the student population multiplying by almost five times.

“When I first came, there were 22 students here - in 2014, we had 104,” she said.

“The school’s grown amazingly,

and it’s the highest growth in the valley of a primary school.”

She said the culture of including everyone in its community and remaining family oriented, had continued to run through the school over the last 140 years, and that parents had been more involved than ever in improving, building and assisting the school.

“I think that we’ve got a really passionate school community and an amazing school council, who are

really supportive of the changes that we keep implementing and driving the curriculum forward in ever increasing ways and areas,” Ms Walker said.

“The school council has been paramount in the success of the school, which is parents and teachers working together.”

Looking to the future, Ms Walker said the school had just registered as a Kids Matters school, and will be running programs to educate children about mental health in primary school - along with programs about drugs, sexual education and cybersafety.

Taking a closer look at the NDIS

By JESSE GRAHAM AN INFORMATION session on the National Disability Insurance Scheme brought a full room of residents to the Healesville Memorial Hall last week to hear about how the scheme will impact them.

Organised by disability services advocacy group, Healesville Connections, the NDIS information session and community forum filled out the Nan Francis room at the Memorial Hall on Thursday 18 June.

Disability service provider, Yooralla, had representatives on the day to answer questions about the NDIS and how it would impact the lives of local people living with disabilities, as well as their families and carers.

Eastern Health’s Janelle Arnold said the questions that should be asked of locals during the NDIS rollout next year is what services do they access, and what services do they need to achieve their goals?

“They want people to consider what services they’re already accessing, and what are their life goals and what do they think they need support doing, so they can

Amanda May, Kathy Cameron (Healesville Connections), Elizabeth Hughes (Eastern Health), Janelle Arnold (Eastern Health), Deb Richards (EACH) and Anna Johnston (EACH) at the Healesville Connections meeting last week. 140712 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM meet their life goals,” she said.

“Dream about what you want your life to look like, then consider what you need to have to get there.

“That’s where NDIS has fallen down - where people haven’t come

prepared with that when they’ve tried to go into the system, so they don’t get the full benefits.”

Ms Arnold said the NDIS would cover people with a disability from birth throughout their lives, though it has an access cut-off once a per-

son is older than 65.

Kathy Cameron, one of the drivers of the Healesville Connections group, said the NDIS would also do away with reviews of disability, meaning families would not have to prove the existence of a continuing disability.

“The reviews that families are under are insulting,” she said.

“We’re never going to be challenged again, that we’re freeloaders or something - it’s ghastly, it’s insulting.”

Eastern Health, Eastern Access Community Health (EACH), Yarra Ranges Council and a number of other groups and organisations were represented at the meeting.

Healesville Connections was established with a steering group in November last year, aiming to improve quality of life for people with disabilities and their families, in preparation for the NDIS rollout.

The group also aims to share ideas and knowledge on issues for people with disabilities and their families in the area.

Briefly Cigarette raids THIEVES have made off with thousands of dollars’ worth of cigarettes from stores around the Yarra Valley in a series of robberies last Monday.

Between 2.15 and 2.40am on Monday 15 June, unknown persons broke into the Log Cabin Service Station on the Warburton Highway in Launching Place.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant, Mark Smithwick, said the thieves smashed a door to gain entry and made off with $12,500 worth of cigarettes.

Between 2.45am and 3am on the same night, the BP Service Station on the Warburton Highway in Lilydale had its front door smashed open.

“It appears they were looking for cigarettes, but didn’t get any,” Det Sgt Smithwick said.

Shortly after the Lilydale break-in, unknown persons broke into an IGA supermarket on the Warburton Highway in Wandin North, entering the shop via the roof sometime between 3am and 4am.

Det Sgt Smithwick said the thieves stole $6000 worth of cigarettes from the Wandin North store.

Later, between 4am and 4.20am on the same morning, an IGA supermarket in Bell Street, Yarra Glen, was broken into.

Det Sgt Smithwick said the front sliding doors at the supermarket were forced open, and a “substantial amount” of cigarettes were stolen from the store.

He said that all four break-ins were believed to be linked, and that they might also be linked to robberies that occurred in Tecoma, Lilydale, Yarra Glen and Eltham North on 2 April, where more than $38,000 worth of goods and cigarettes were stolen.

In the Tecoma robbery, which occurred at the town’s BP Service Station, more than $20,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen - but about a third of the loot was lost when the thieves tried to drag a quilt filled with the packets along from their car.

Anyone with more information on the robberies, or who may have witnessed suspicious behaviour, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Thefts from cars POLICE are urging residents to keep their cars under lock and key, after a number of thefts from cars in the Healesville area.

Healesville Police Leading Senior Constable Wayne Phillips told the Mail that there had been a “couple” of thefts from cars in the area in recent weeks.

LSC Phillips asked that residents lock their cars when they were not in use, and to take their valuables out of their cars when they leave them at night.

Bru was loved by one and all HEALESVILLE SES Unit has lost one of its valued members.

Bru Breasley passed away last week after a short illness.

Bru was a much-loved and respected member of the unit who had served for a number of years as finance officer.

Unit members will form a guard of honour at the service which will be held at LePine in Healesville at 2.30pm on Thursday.

The Mail extends condolences to the Breasley family and Bru’s SES colleagues.

Proud to celebrate ser vice The state of

Member for Seymour

Just as it is easy to overlook fire safety during the winter months, so too is it easy to forget the work of the CFA volunteers who continue to serve our community.

Emergency services volunteers in the CFA and SES are always there for the community not just during the bushfire season.

Our volunteers give so much time when going above and beyond the call of duty to serve their local communities.

At times this commitment means that members put themselves at considerable risk, working in appalling weather conditions and in the dark.

By undertaking tasks involved in disaster recovery, including those activities undertaken on Black Saturday as well as search and rescue, their contribution to the community is immeasurable.

Apart from emergency services, our CFA and SES volunteers assist the community throughout the year from fundraising for the Royal Children’s

Hospital Good Friday Appeal, hosting bushfire information nights and participating in a host of local events such as Anzac Day. For that reason, I felt all the more proud to be involved in the recent celebrations of the Warburton Fire Brigade’s 100th anniversary.

The anniversary is a tremendous milestone bringing the Warburton community together in recognising the service of our volunteer firefighters and instilling a sense of pride in the community through events such as the family day and torch light parade.

The anniversary has presented as a fantastic opportunity to further assist the brigade with the HelmART auc-

WITH the return of icy temperatures in our region, it becomes all too easy to forget about the danger of fires in our community.

But winter is one of the most dangerous periods for fires to occur in our homes as we rely more on gas and electrical appliances, wood burners and fireplaces to keep us warm.

Last year the CFA attended 1650 house fires in Victoria, tragically resulting in 16 deaths.

The trauma from these fires impacts families and the entire community.

So it is very important to be observant of fire dangers in our homes at this time.

Campus is back

Former trainer speaking out at fire inquiry

By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Ranges firefighter Mick Tisbury has told the Parliamentary Inquiry into the CFA Training College at Fiskville of training drills which he says put firefighters at risk.

In a detailed submission to the inquiry on Monday, 15 June, Mr Tisbury said that as a past instructor with the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, it still deeply concerns him that he had unwittingly exposed firefighters to harmful toxins and chemicals.

The Mail reported earlier in March this year that Mr Tisbury, an MFB firefighter and executive member of the United Firefighters’ Union, had been pushing for a thorough investigation into the use of toxic materials and water contamination for three years.

Fiskville was closed by the Labor Government in April after tests showed high levels of the toxic chemical PROS around the fire training area and in an area where the chemical had not been previously detected.

Mr Tisbury spoke at the inquiry, presenting information that detailed the process that led to wide media coverage on concerns of a cancer cluster in 2011.

He pointed to a series of reports since as early as 1988 that

By JESSE GRAHAM LILYDALE’S former Swinburne campus is one step closer to re-opening, after the government announced it was officially requesting proposals from providers for the site.

On Monday 15 June, Minister for Skills and Training Steve Herbert joined Education Minister and Deputy Premier James Merlino and Swinburne ViceChancellor Professor Linda Kristjanson at the former university site to announce the government was opening a Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

Mr Herbert said that, over the next six weeks, TAFE and dual-sector university providers would be invited to put forward their proposals, outlining the services they would provide at the site if accepted.

“There are criteria in that proposal,” he said.

“It is assessed firstly on educational grounds, which is important... and secondly on value for money, to ensure whoever comes in and re-opens this facility does it with the intention of educating and educating locals at the very core of what this place will be.”

Monbulk MP James Merlino said that the site would also house the new Yarra Ranges Technical School, outlined in the recent State Budget.

He said that the technical school would mean students from Years 7-12 could use the facilities and interact with TAFE and university students, in a model based off Swinburne’s Wantirna campus.

Bidders for the site will also be asked to include strategies to address youth unemployment and disadvantage by providing training that will assist in job seeking and further education.

Prior to the State Election, Mr Merlino and Premier Daniel Andrews met with supporters at the padlocked Swinburne campus gates to promise the site would

he said demonstrated contamination of the soil and water at the facility.

Mr Tisbury claimed in his submission that despite warnings from the UFU the CFA continued to claim there was no concern with the standard of the water at Fiskville or the water that was being used for firefighting training.

Mr Tisbury and the UFU have consistently questioned the lack of action by Worksafe and the CFA in the face of what he presented at the inquiry as damning reports.

The terms of reference of the inquiry include a study of pollution, contamination and unsafe activities at Fiskville over more than four decades, a study of the health impacts on employees, vicitors and residents and the role of past and present executive management at the facility.

The inquiry is also tasked with doing an assessment of the feasibility of decontamination of the site and providing recommendations to mitigate ongoing harm.

They will also make recommendations on providing justice to victim of harm and their families.

An interim report is to be provided by 30 June and a final report by no later than 1 December this year.

Training and Skills MP Steve Herbert, Swinburne Vice-Chancellor Professor Linda Kristjanson and Monbulk MP, Education Minister and Deputy Premier James Merlino at Lilydale's former Swinburne campus. 140473 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM re-open for TAFE and university classes if Labor was elected - Mr Merlino said the announcement was the first step to fulfil that promise.

“We made a commitment, not just to re-open this campus, not just to replicate what was here before, but to make it bigger and better than it ever was before,” Mr Merlino said.

“We made a commitment to return higher education to this campus, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

“For me, as a local member, the single

most important thing I ever do in my career, is to re-open this facility.”

Mr Merlino said the community feedback had been included in the documentation, to ensure bidders knew the local expectations for the site, which closed in 2013.

Yarra Ranges Council representatives joined community members and members of the Yarra Valley Educational Precinct Committee for the announcement.

Mr Herbert said classes would be expected to start in early 2016.

Letters Can’t beat hard work

Strength in numbers

IN THIS day and age when, according to a recent ‘Age’ newspaper report, young people will have 17 jobs, including five career changes, Pam Druitt must certainly qualify for some sort of long service award.

Fifty years in the ‘same’ job with the ‘same’ business (albeit with four different owners), a job she secured at age 14 without qualification, interview or CV. But she has one other claim to fame: the perennially healthful and smiling Pam proudly confessed to me that in the entirety of her working life, she never had a single sick day off work.

Enjoying her well-earned retirement she may be, but Pam Druitt is a remarkable example of how, with the right attitude and skills, people can achieve satisfaction in their lives without necessarily staying on the traditional education treadmill.

In Australia today, where there are more young people with tertiary education than ever (one in two), but where youth unemployment is more than double the overall rate, Pam Druitt may be an indication that natural ability, resourcefulness, personality and a strong work ethic are useful job market skills that can’t necessarily be acquired at university.

IN REPLY to Steve Meacher’s letter ‘Spokesman surprise’ (Mail, Tuesday, 16 June).

Ahh Mr Meacher; it was with great mirth that I read your letter last week. It appears that Mr Biggs’ open and honest account of the ‘climate’ around the timber industry in Toolangi hit just the right nerve.

I found Geoff Biggs’ article right on the money.

The biggest risk to the LBP is fire and feral animals. The timber industry has had very little impact on the possum numbers.

There are many colonies of LBP scattered far and wide through our state and national forests - people in the industry know that and I suspect you do too but it does not suit your cause to let that be public knowledge.

It just strikes me as strange that nearly all the studies done for LBP numbers have been conducted in the Toolangi area that was decimated by fires and only near timber harvesting coupes.

I was privileged to have sat on the LBP advisory committee. All of the recommendations have been implemented and more.

Our group, Friends of Forestry, are professional and dedicated in making sure that our timber industry is represented as the amazing, sustainable and profitable industry that it is.

These areas have been timber harvested for well over 150 years. Not a bare hill in sight, professionally managed by people who know what they are doing.

People like you, Mr Meacher, will always find a possum, butterfly or freckled something to shut the industry down.

Some 21,000 are employed through the timber industry. It is the largest flowthrough sustainable industry in Victoria.

The current community, Mr Meacher, supports our timber industry - your minority groups are clearly out of touch.

Over 15,000 through Alexandra for the truck and timber show two weeks ago, 43 people on your forest walk.

Jacqui Commans, Friends of Forestry, Healesville.

Logging call good move I WOULD like to commend the Murrindindi Shire Council’s move to support a report recommending the end of logging in the Toolangi area.

Given the recent uplisting of the Leadbeater’s Possum to critically endangered, this is the only ethical alternative to the council which represents the members of the shire.

The critically endangered status of the Leadbeater's possum is not a light matter.

The possum now joins a growing list of other critically endangered species and it would be nothing short of devastation if the species became extinct ‘on our watch’.

Trevor Parton, Glenburn.

Money raised within school

Upper Yarra Secondary College SRC members with the Ladies In Pink. 140665 rectly assist families within the school community in need of the type of help the YVLP usually provides, including a respite house in Powelltown.

SRC member, Tatum Summers said the Pink Day also raised awareness among the students of breast cancer and the work Ladies in Pink do. ”I don’t think that students here are especially aware of it, but there have been people at the school affected by breast cancer, including school friends, family and relatives,” Tatum said.

Pink Day was the first fundraiser with students donating a gold coin for the privilege of wearing pink.

Students and teachers also dug deep for lolly bags, cupcakes and fruit skewers.

Ms McGrath said it was a wonderful start to an exciting partnership.

“Without this funding, we’d find it very, very difficult to continue our programs - it’s an essential part of what we do and it enables us to provide a very effective program of assistance for people in Healesville,” Mr Hystead said.

In 2014, HICCI had 4721 instances of emergency relief food being needed by residents, as well as 1943 instances of helping people in need of travel, with 75,000 kilometres recorded.

At the Yarra Ranges Council meeting, Cr Len Cox said the funding acknowledged the work of volunteers and those in community groups in the area.

“We get better value for money for this than anything else we do,” he said.

“It’s council’s move to help the community and community groups to do the things they think ought to be done, and will improve living in our community generally.

“Every one of them is worthwhile.”

Community houses across the shire also received funding under the grants, though Cr Noel Cliff noted that the funding varied from group to group, ranging from $13,000 to $62,000.

A council representative at the meeting said there was a plan to make funding for community houses more ‘equitable’ in the future.

For a full list of recipients, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov. au.

“We know there are students in the school struggling with parents with cancer, and if we can help by giving support, and they, in turn, are helping us a great deal by doing things like cooking meals for the respite house, then it is very exciting,” she said.

Jack said the SRC was proud of what they had achieved.

“The support from the Upper Yarra Secondary College community was fantastic and made for a very successful day,” he said.

“The relationship with the Yarra Valley Ladies In Pink has already begun to move forward with the SRC planning a re-design of their brochures.”

Other initiatives in the pipeline include preparing meals for families needing support, and for the YVLP respite house, and working bees at the house.

THE TRIUMPH OF MODERNISM IN THE ART OF AUSTRALIA 1189245-EG26-15

MONEY has changed hands at Upper Yarra Secondary College ... but it’s all good.

In what may at first glance seem an unusual reversal of fortune, local breast cancer support group, Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink, presented the UYSC Student Representative Council with a cheque for $200 during a ‘Pink Day’ fund-raiser at the school in May. YVLP president Judith McGrath said the donation was an opportunity for them to invest in a partnership with the school that could reap wonderful mutual benefits.

Representatives from each year level are part of the SRC which had been looking for a local organisation to support.

“We wanted money we raised to stay in the local community, and we wanted the community to be able to see what sort of difference the efforts of the students at Upper Yarra could make as opposed to raising money for a large organisation where the money could get lost,” SRC president Jack Jenkinson said.

The groups met to learn more about what the ladies do and to discuss how the students could help on an ongoing basis.

The result was that the school would set up its own account, starting with the proceeds of the fund-raising day and the $200 donation.

Funds would be used to di-

COMMUNITY groups in the valley will have funding certainty for the coming three years, after Yarra Ranges councillors unanimously passed partnership grants earlier this month.

At their meeting on Tuesday 9 June, councillors unanimously endorsed the council’s 2016 Partnership Grants, which will provide funds to 40 community groups across the shire.

The groups will share in $748,762 in funding over the coming three years, after having applications to the council reviewed by an expert panel of two members and a Yarra Ranges manager.

Koha Community Cafe will receive $15,000 to run its weekly pay-what-you-can meal, to help the socially and economically disadvantaged, while the Healesville Music Festival will receive $30,000 over the coming three years.

Emergency relief organisations also fared well in the funding pool, with Healesville Interchurch Community Care Incorporated (HICCI) receiving $120,000.

Yarra Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy said the funding meant that groups across the Yarra Ranges could have certainty of being funded for the coming years.

“It will enable council to work more closely with these groups - to help them provide the services and skills they need, to support what they’re trying to achieve for their groups,” Cr McCarthy said.

Starting Line to accompany you

Tyson, Lola, Nahlaya, Bayden and Marley, with the Japanese flag behind them. 140180

By JESSE GRAHAM THE Starting Line is a release you’ll want to keep handy in the car this winter. The six-track EP, the young three piece’s first release, plays like a road-trip record - the stripped back, semiacoustic folky rock songs that bounce along with lyrics you’ll have memorised by the second or third time around.

The EP begins with Forevermore, which makes a steady shift from acoustic and vocals courtesy of Kate Fyander before easing into backing drums and filling in with the band’s two other members, Darcy Haag (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Aidan King (drums, backing vocals).

The mix of soft vocals, soft drums and prominent acoustic guitar continues right throughout The Starting Line, but though the songs follow a similar musical thread, it never feels unwelcome or overdone.

Songs such as You’re Not Fine and The Moonlight hit a sombre note, with Fyander hitting some darker lyrical notes, though the songs all feel full of heart and light, musically.

The EP features Free, a song entered by the band in the Melbourne Music Bank competition, which asked artists to create a song inspired by Victoria’s capital city.

The song will be a welcome element to those who tracked the band’s progress in the competition (they reached the final four bands), and will be a gateway to the rest of the EP tracks, which all dwarf the catchy song with their content.

The Starting Line is a relaxing series of songs that are easy to digest, but not mundane, and that’s more difficult than it sounds. It has upbeat and slower-tempo songs, which all work together in the final piece, and will be no doubt memorised from the second or third listen.

All in all, the EP is a strong first release for the band, and will leave many listeners like myself keenly awaiting their next release. Keep this one in the car for a slow drive through the valley.

NINJAS, sumo wrestlers, Samurai warriors, Japanese ladies in beautiful kimonos and a Ninja Turtle set the scene for Wesburn Primary School’s first ever Japanese Cultural Day on 21 May. Japanese students and their teacher from the Upper Yarra Secondary College joined the Wesburn students for the day, which included Japanese folk tales, origami, cooking and conversation with hand-made finger puppets, making dragons and a traditional tea ceremony.

Puppeteer ‘Showco’, fresh from the Melbourne Comedy Festival, amazed and thrilled the young audience with her bamboo stick tricks and ‘Ninja Ken’ and ‘Sushi Monster’ puppets.

Family and community members were also invited along and had fun as they did the rounds of the various activities.

Principal Anne Stenhouse said the day was a great success.

“Rebound is about learning about trust, safety and teamwork, and it builds transferable skills to take into everyday life,” Mr Turner said.

The Upper Yarra area is a great source of adventure activities with rock climbing and caving in the area also part of the program for the young adventurers.

Scrapping food subsidy

By JESSE GRAHAM A YARRA GLEN family will be left footing hundreds of dollars in monthly food bills if the government follows through on cuts to essential funding for children with metabolic disorders.

Kathy Fricke’s eight-year-old son Blake was diagnosed at birth with homocystinuria, a condition which means his diet must include only small amounts of protein.

Exceeding more than 10 grams of protein a day can result in cardiovascular problems, including a high risk of stroke, according to Ms Fricke, who said the family bought special low-protein food through a medical supplier.

However, the price of the low-protein food is significantly higher than regular supermarket counterparts, with a box of pasta costing about $10, or $15 for a box of cereal.

Meat alternatives such as tofu are also off the table, due to their high protein content.

“On average, 10 grams is probably half a sausage,” Ms Fricke said.

She said her son dealt well with his diet and medical formulas, but the issues came in trying to provide substantial food to feed a growing boy.

Estimating the bill for Blake’s special food at about $360 per month, the cost is mostly offset by the Federal Government through a $256.75 monthly payment through Inborn Error of Metabolism (IEM) food grants.

However, it was announced earlier in the year by Health Minister Sussan Ley that the funding would cease in December. Ms Fricke said this would put a strain on the family’s finances.

“The pressure it will put on my family and families like us ... we’re

looking at a couple hundred bucks that we have to spend on this food,” she said.

“It will put a lot of families in financial hardship - but you gotta do it because your kids need it.”

“At the end of the day, it’s all in the hands of our government, really.”

Groups such as the Metabolic Dietary Disorders Association (MDDA) have criticised the decision to end the funding, and have been lobbying the government to reverse the decision.

A Change.org petition on the matter, started about a month ago, has received almost 12,000 signatures.

In interviews with other media outlets, Ms Ley defended the decision, stating that low-protein foods were cheaper and more available than when the grants began in 2001 - a claim that Ms Fricke refutes.

“Basically, my response to that is that a lot of the supermarkets have gluten free - and I think that’s wonderful that they’re targeting gluten free, but it’s nothing like low-protein foods we can get from Nutricia.” The Mail contacted Ms Ley with questions about the decision to end the funding, Ms Fricke’s concerns over supermarket food and whether the decision could be reversed.

In a written statement, Ms Ley said she had been contacted by members of the community, professional groups and colleagues about the IEM grants.

“I am carefully considering the information that has been provided to me recently relating to the IEM food grant,” she wrote.

Breast Beaters plan to take on and beat lymphoedema

By KATH GANNAWAY

Breast Beater pilot participants June and Sue have helped pave the way for the exciting new program. 140765

A MUSIC and movement program aimed at preventing lymphoedema and increasing well-being for women living with breast cancer will be launched this week.

Facilitated by the Dandenong Ranges Music Council, the idea for the Breast Beaters program came from a friendship that developed between DRMC member and cancer survivor, Bev McAllister, and musician Jeannie Marsh during development of a DRMC youth music program.

Bev speaks of the ‘new

normal’ for women living with breast cancer which involves a regime of treatment and exercise.

“I knew I would have to do exercises, but wanted to do what I did before,” Bev said.

Before invariably included having fun and approaching exercise with a positive mindset.

For Jeannie, the opportunity to work on a music and movement program was a practical way of helping her friend, and others.

A pilot program has run in Yarra Ranges during the first

half of the year with exciting results.

A DVD was made during the pilot sessions so women can implement the program in support groups, community houses, community choirs and in their own homes.

The launch of the Breast Beaters DVD will be held at Lillydale Lake Community Room this Friday, 26 June from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.

Anyone who would like attend the launch, or find out more about the Breast Beaters DVD is can contact Sue Clisby from DRMC on 9754 6566 or email drmc@drmc.org.au .

Indigenous Job is done and dusted roll of honour

By JESSE GRAHAM

By JESSE GRAHAM AN HONOUR roll acknowledging outstanding Indigenous Victorians is on display at the Healesville Library for a few more days, following an opening event last week.

On Thursday 18 June, Jaclyn Symes MLC joined Yarra Ranges councillors, Eastern Regional Library staff and community members at the library to unveil the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll.

The honour roll features 64 Indigenous Australians who have been recognised for their lifetime achievements, and includes five local faces, including William Barak, Simon Wonga and Healesville’s own Aunty Dot Peters.

The roll features photographs and life stories from Indigenous Victorians who have done outstanding things or been leaders for their communities, and is displayed in different places as part of an annual roadshow, before being returned to Parliament House.

Aunty Dot, for example, campaigned for the recognition of Victorian Indigenous men and women who served in conflicts overseas and did not receive recognition of their efforts due to their race, and had their families excluded from the same compensation as non-Indigenous Australians.

On 31 May, 2006, as a result of Aunty Dot’s work, a Victorian Indigenous Men and Women Remembrance Service was held at the Shrine of Remembrance, with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags flown at the shrine for the first time.

Cr Len Cox, also the chairman of Eastern Regional Libraries (ERL), opened the event, before Aunty Joy Wandin-Murphy presented a Welcome to Country and speeches followed by Cr Fiona McAllister, Jaclyn Symes and Aunty Dot. Ms Symes said the honour roll roadshow was stopping in Healesville for the first

She encouraged residents to nominate inspirational Indigenous community members to be part of the 2015 induction in the honour roll.

“I found the most worthy people are the people out there in the community, getting on with it and doing what’s right,” Ms Symes said.

Aunty Dot, meanwhile, spoke about her work in campaigning for recognition of Indigenous soldiers, and offered sage words to the gathered crowd.

“We’ve got a great country and we’ve got to work together to keep it that way,” she said.

The Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll will be on display at Healesville Library, at the Healesville Community Link behind the Memorial Hall, until Thursday 25 June.

Nominations for the 2015 inductions to the honour roll are being accepted until Tuesday 30 June at 5pm.

A BLACK Saturday recovery group has hung up their tool belts, finishing up with over 65,000 hours of community work clocked in.

The Community on Ground Assistance (COGA) group was established after the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires with a simple aim - to support survivors and those affected on the ground, however that may be.

COGA founding member Mike Baimbridge said the group started up with Baptist Churches of Australia, raising money for bushfire recovery, with the assistance of founding members Janeden River and Matt Falla.

“I was able to get a substantial amount of that to employ two guys, buy a heap of gear and give those guys away to people (for recovery work),” he said.

“After 12 months, we formalised our relationship with another guy working under the BAPTCARE banner in Kinglake, as well as other groups working in that space.

“We were encouraged by Christine Nixon (former Victoria Police Chief Commissioner) to form an alliance and put in a proposal for ongoing funding.”

Since then, COGA has run over 500 projects in fire-affected regions, from Yarra Glen, Steels Creek and Kinglake, through to Marysville and state-wide.

Mr Baimbridge estimates that 65,000 hours of work have been completed through COGA in the last six years, with projects such as improving temporary living spaces, as well as providing pastoral support.

An example of this was COGA’s work with a landowner who had dangerous trees cut down, but worked long hours and was not

“We’ve had people come out of the woodwork who are still living on properties that have not had any work done, and look like - apart from the fact the grass is green - the fires happened yesterday,” he said.

“What we set out to do in the first place was a practical and pastoral response - if you have a fourhour chat and a four-hour job, it’s an eight-hour job.

“Sitting down with people in the midst of their trauma and grief was just as important as fixing their things.”

Numerous agencies assisted with COGA’s work, including many corporate groups, which supplied workers to assist as part of team-building projects.

Eastern Access Community Health (EACH), the Salvation Army, Rotary, Lions, Victoria’s Fire Recovery Unit, Uniting Care and many others were on board with COGA’s efforts.

The group received glowing testimonies from recipients of their work, which were compiled with photos before and after recovery works to make a book.

But COGA’s final funding allocation ran out at the end of May, and the group has since laid down its tools and disbanded, following a farewell event in Kinglake.

The group’s tools, under the Victorian Bushfires Appeal Fund directions, have been donated to the Toolangi Men’s Shed, Toolangi Community House and Garden, Yarra Valley Men’s Shed, Heartland Church and numerous organisations in Kinglake and its surrounds, such as Kinglake SES.

TarraWarra Museum of Art director Victoria Lynn at the Triumph of Modernism exhibition.

Art’s modern appeal shines

By JESSE GRAHAM PAINTINGS from some of the most well-known Australian artists will be adorning the walls of TarraWarra Museum of Art’s gallery for the next two months, after an opening on the weekend.

On Sunday 21 June, The Triumph of Modernism exhibition opened at TWMA, showcasing iconic modernism works spanning the last 60 years.

TWMA director Victoria Lynn said the exhibition was commissioned by the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre in New South Wales, and recently finished hanging on its walls.

Ms Lynn said that all of the pieces except one come from TWMA’s collection, gifted to the museum by Mark and Eva Besen, and were compiled by curator Edmund Capon.

“They (Hazelhurst) invited

him to do an exhibition for them, and he chose our collection to work with,” she said.

“And he decided to really do two things with this show - first of all, reveal to people in New South Wales just the breadth and depth of the collecting that Eva and Mark Besen did from the 1950s, and highlight the ways in which modernism took hold in Australian art after the Second World War.” Featuring more than 50 pieces by artists including Russell Drysdale, Ian Fairweather, Jeffrey Smart and Joy Hester, Ms Lynn said the exhibition pieces were not sorted by date, but rather by the ideas and attitudes towards modernism.

Though many of the pieces have been on display at the gallery previously, Ms Lynn said they will be viewed in a new light through the context of The Triumph of Modernism.

“I think our regular visitors

will be able to see some favourites in a new context and visitors who haven’t been here before will be able to see a story of Australian modern art over the last 50, 60 years and some exemplary works by some of Australia’s most well-known artists,” she said.

Mr Capon said the exhibition was “a rich and representative display of the story of modern Australia, with a particular and deliberate emphasis on Australian identity”.

The Triumph of Modernism will be displayed at TarraWarra Museum of Art until 16 August.

Entry is $7.50 for adults, $5 for seniors and free for concession holders.

For more information, call 5957 3100, visit www.twma. com.au or visit the gallery at 311 Healesville-Yarra Glen Road in Healesville from 11am5pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Fine wines in the making crafted wines.

“It’s about seeing behindthe-scenes, seeing how it happens, so we give them a sense of a working winery and the processes involved,” he said.

“It’s a great way of showcasing everything we do.”

The weekend will also feature blind tastings, according to business manager Sophia Demos, who said there will be events and prizes for young and old.

“We’ve got various activities for the adults and the children,” she said.

“We’re doing a blind tasting of some of our Pinots - not a serious, masked tasting ... but just a bit of competition,

By JESSE GRAHAM ROCHFORD Wines will be opening its doors for a special behind-the-scenes look at how its wine is made, as its annual open house weekend comes around again.

On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June, the doors of Rochford usually closed to the public will be thrown open, giving visitors the chance to see first-hand how its wines are made from start to finish.

Sales manager John Bright said that sommeliers will be on-hand to guide visitors on the winemaking process during the open weekend, which has a theme following the journey of Pinot and hand-

for us to give away some prizes.”

For children, the winery will hold a drawing competition, where the brief is to draw something that sums up the venue.

“It could be the plate of food they’re eating, the winery, it can be anything,” Ms Demos said.

Mr Bright said there will also be some new-release wine for people to enjoy while they peruse the open house.

For more information about the open house weekend, call 5957 3333, visit www.rochfordwines.com.au or visit the winery at 878-880 Maroondah Highway in Coldstream.

Jurassic sequel’s entertaining JURASSIC World is, in its own outlandish way, a worthy sequel to the groundbreaking original Jurassic Park.

In the prehistoric theme park Jurassic World, geneticists engineer a new dinosaur to bring in more customers.

But the creature soon breaks loose and wreaks havoc on the island.

Jurassic World is a ferociously entertaining monster movie, but also has an appeal-

ing satirical feel unique to the franchise.

The main characters are simplistic yet likeable, and Chris Pratt once again delivers his winning charismatic cockiness.

The action is exciting and brutal, the film has many genuinely funny moments, the new dinosaur (named Indominus Rex) is a terrifying creation and the effects are overall very realistic (though Jurassic purists will be disappointed at the lack of animatronics).

A beneficial side-effect of the characters being basic is that the whole film has an amusing exaggerated feel,

which helps the satire. With this film’s park being fully operational, World can more directly skewer corporate greed and excess.

Where this goes too far is in Vic Hoskins (Vincent D’onofrio), the security officer who wants to militarise the park’s Velociraptors. This human villain is smarmy and overblown, when the film already has a great villain in the Indominus creature.

Ultimately, Jurassic World isn’t as good (or smart) as the first Jurassic Park, but it doesn’t need to be, and it’s fine popcorn entertainment on its own.

Time to get wild COME and spend the winter holidays with some furry friends at Mansfield Zoo. Featuring more than 100 animals, Mansfield Zoo is the largest collection of exotic and native species of animals in regional Victoria.

Some of the animals include Joey the Grey Kangaroo, Emily and Greedy the Deer, white cockatoos, guinea pigs, bison, blue tongue lizards and a whole lot more.

With over 30 acres of beautiful parkland and stunning views across the Delatite Valley, the day will be nothing less than enjoyable.

The zoo even features two white lions, named Djuma and Matimba, who are now settled in their new home.

The two lions have a unique white-blonde coat and blue eyes that make them stand out in comparison to the African lions.

There are loads of things to do for the whole family to enjoy, including the opportunity to camp overnight and fall asleep listening to the sounds of the lions and monkeys.

This interactive zoo also gives adults and children the enjoyment of being able to feed most of the animals as they wander around the park.

There’s plenty to see and do at the Mansfield Zoo.

Bring family and friends to enjoy a day at the Mansfield Zoo. A ‘My Zoo’ membership could be purchased for unlimited fun all-year around.

Opening hours are 10am to 5.30pm daily.

Prices are $15 adults, $13.50 seniors and $8 for children.

Family prices are $44 for two adults and two children, $51 two adults and three children.

For more information, visit www.mansfieldzoo.com.au or call 5777 3576.

Bookings are essential for overnight stays.

This is your chance to see these amazing animals up close.

The experienced, friendly team at Rural Fence and Trade. 139671

Farm, fence and much more RURAL Fence and Trade stocks and supplies everything farm, fence and more.

From hard-wood rails to hinge-joint zinc aluminium wire, they stock the lot ... and in huge quantities.

Rural Fence and Trade has a 10-tonne tippingtray delivery truck in its fleet and a direct-to-site or yard, no-fuss delivery service.

The business is based in Coldstream and delivers to ‘greater anywhere’.

One day, they are in the Yarra Valley and the next day they could be in Warrnambool.

Rural Fence and Trade stocks a huge range of farm gates, steel fence posts, treated pine posts, electric fencing, civil supplies, petrol tools, log splitters, animal traps, drinker troughs, rabbit wire, vinyard grow wire, hinge joint and farm lock fabricated fence and thousands of other associated products.

They are exclusive distributors of Mega Anchor steel fence end assemblies.

If you live on the land, then get into store now because there is something for you.

Rural Fence and Trade is now five years old, and with age comes knowledge, buying power, service, fine tuning, plus all those things that create a solid business.

The owners of Rural Fence and Trade (Shaun and Mei Larn Halit) put their main emphasis on best price every day, without sacrificing a second-tonone attitude to service and quality.

Shaun and Mei Larn mention the importance of getting product to site, on time, as a number one priority.

They mention that fencing and civil contractors are a big and important part of business and welcome any new contractors.

Rural Fence and Trade carries stock to fence farm, freeway or backyard.

They supply options to suit your fencing requirement and budget.

Visit www.ruralfenceandtrade.com.au and call them to discuss your next project.

One of their professional team is ready and eager to help.

Rural Fence and Trade will run fortnightly super specials in the ‘Mail’ newspaper, ‘but’ remember that is not all they have at an awesome price.

Keep an eye out for our massive in-store June sale adverts.

“Don’t miss us at this year’s Wandin Silvan Field Days.

“We have participated in this great event three times and have won best display twice,” the owners said.

Lots of demonstrations, specials and activity are what the site is all about.

Call Rural Fence and Trade on 9739 1110 or drop in at 611 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream.

They are open from 7.30am until 5pm weekdays and 8am until 1pm on a Saturday.

BY ANY measure, the 32nd Warburton Film Festival was an outstanding success.

From the Friday night’s Show Us Your Shorts short film competition for young filmmakers through to the screening of the Polish drama ‘Ida’ on Sunday afternoon, an average audience of 100 people settled into the beautiful Mecca Cinema to enjoy a winter weekend of film.

The festival is hosted by the Yarra Ranges Film Society in conjunction with Yarra Ranges Council.

YRFS president, John Bodin, estimated at least half of the audience came to Warburton especially for the festival, making it a valuable tourist drawcard for the town.

Vicki Paris and Rina Altobelli from Healesville embraced the festival atmosphere, staying overnight and enjoying the whole program of nine films, great food and interesting guest speakers.

Vicki described the experience as like going around the world in a weekend.

The films included drama and comedy from Australia, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, France, Poland and Belgium and the documentary portrait of Brazilian photographer Sebastio Salgado ‘The Salt of the Earth’ filmed in Brazil, Italy and France.

“We learnt about history, human relationships, art, philosophy, religion, and then to come out of the theatre and walk through beautiful Warburton, look out over the river ... it was just wonderful.”

Golden Shorts winners. 140713

President of Victorian Film Societies, John Arkins with YRFS president John Bodin. 140713

Vicki Paris and Rina Altobelli of Healesville look over the program. 140713 Rina said the committee had come up with a well-balanced choice of films with almost every one rated four out of five by the audiences.

“There were no mainstream films and that’s what I like,” she said.

“There was not one film I had seen before and I enjoyed every single one.”

The Golden Shorts award this year went to Sierra Laird for her animated film ‘Help Wanted’.

The Yarra Ranges Film Society screens films at the Mecca

in Warburton on the second Tuesday of each month, and at The Memo in Healesville on the third Tuesday.

“Members choose the films in advance and it’s as much for the social get-together as for the love of cinema and seeing films that are very often not easily able to be accessed,” Mr Bodin said.

The next screening is ‘My Sweet Pepper Land’ a 2013 drama from Iraq.

WEDNESDAY, 17 June: PAR winner: David Murch ( +3), runner-up: Ken Barratt (+2).

Balls down to ‘Square’. The only nearest the pin won was by Craig Brown on the 3rd.

Saturday, June 20: Players competed for the Alan-Chapman Memorial trophy, a 4-ball aggregate stableford event, where the pairs add together their final points totals.

With an excellent 75 points (combined), Geoff-Fall and Tony Bickley won out on the day.

The runner-up pair were Dave-Wappit and David Clinch, who stopped sledging each other long enough to amass a very creditable 67 points.

The ball run-down went to 62. Nearest the pins were 3rd: Danny Fox, 5th and 9th: Des Ray, 12th: Antonio Calle and the 15th was Tony Bickley.

Well done to all concerned.

THEY’RE only little, but for the Healesville Soccer Club’s MiniRoos, there was loads of enthusiasm and some fancy moves at the first Mini Roos Gala Day. Budding players from five to 10-year-olds took part in the event at the Don Road Sporting Complex on Saturday 13 June.

The players have been along to four training sessions, and while it was obvious they are serious about their soccer, program coordinator Klaus Gottwald said the emphasis was on having fun.

“It’s about them having fun and developing a love for the game,” he said.

“The emphasis at this level is on fun and enjoyment.”

The Healesville Soccer Club has four teams, and is looking to develop a women’s social team.

For more information on the Mini-Roos program or the women’s social team, contact Kalus on 0420 485 207 or check the website at healesvillesoccerclub.com.au .

Juniors toughen up A FROST-COVERED oval greeted the Under 12s Girls, with their game starting with the temperature below zero.

The girls continued to show their improvement with lots more tackling and possessions in the game.

Estelle Peterson proved to be the match-winner for Yarra Glen, with an outstanding 11-goal haul.

It was tight contest between Woori Yallock Black and Healesville in Under 9s.

There was lots of work required by both defensives sides to repel the scoring opportunities generated.

Another strong performance by the Healesville Under 10s against Olinda, set up by an excellent first quarter.

Their ability to win contested ball, and then share it with their teammates continues to develop.

The Under 11s came agonisingly close to their first win of the season, they came ready to play today and were hard at the ball right from the start.

The Under 11s played great contested football all day.

Even when Upwey got the only goal of the game to sneak in front, the team kept its focus and dug deep to almost get over the line.

By far, the best four quarters by the Under 11s for the season.

The Under 12s had their toughest came for the season.

The half-back line had to work hard to repel the forwards thrust of Olinda.

Under 14s youngster Jai Simnett finds some space over the weekend.

Healesville capitalised on the work of the half-back line for their scoring opportunities to maintain their unbeaten run.

The final home game of the day was the Under 14s.

It was expected to be a tightly fought game and that is what happened.

Healesville had a slow start, but put it together in the second quarter to be 21 points in front at half time.

Olinda dug deep in the third quarter, and reduced the margin to two points at three-quarter time to set up a thrilling final quarter.

The Healesville outfit outscored the determined Olinda team in the last quarter to win by eight points.

The Under 16s travelled to Woori Yallock in a must-win game to keep them in finals contention.

The Healesville team got out

to a fast start in the first quarter, and that was the difference with the two teams, with Healesville managing to hold on to the win after a strong final quarter by Woori Yallock.

Belgrave triumph in thriller

By JUDY ORREN DIVISION 1 SENIORS Belgrave 15.10 (100) d Woori Yallock 14.14 (98) BELGRAVE led this game all day, but had to fight off a fast-finishing Woori Yallock late in the game.

Belgrave was good in the first half as they opened the day with a 6-goal-to-2 first quarter to lead by 25 points. Both sides booted four goals apiece in the second, and Woori did have more of the play, but wasted its chances as it trailed by 20 points at the half.

In the third term, Woori once again had more of the play but a wasteful 3.5 to 2.2 still saw it in arrears by 11 points at the last change. The last quarter was a thriller. Woori was coming hard, and it scored five goals straight, but Belgrave had the answers as it slotted 3.3, which was enough for them to hold on to win by two points and move one game clear into fourth spot.

Belgrave best players: J. Brown (2 goals), B. Dadswell (1 goal), D. Collins (1 goal) Woori Yallock best players: J. Adams (1 goal), M. Batten, M. Lowe.

Olinda Ferny Creek 28.18 (156) d Warburton Millgrove 7.9 (51) Olinda was excellent from start to finish, and Warby just couldn’t match their dominant running game. Olinda got out to a six-goal lead by halftime. Warby was trying hard, but after the long break Olinda really upped their intensity. They booted 5 goals to just 4 behinds in the third to race to a 66-point advantage. They then kicked right away in the last with a 7-goal-to-1 term to win by 105 points and now sit one game clear in fifth spot.

Olinda Ferny Creek best players: J. Wallis (1 goal), D. Wilson (1 goal), M. Mollica (7 goals) Warburton Millgrove best players: A. Joyce, L. Barnard, S. Andueza.

Monbulk 21.19 (145) d Upwey Tecoma 14.16 (100) Monbulk did win quite comfortably in the end, but they certainly didn’t have it all their own way.

Monbulk was certainly the better side in the first half as they got out to a 33-point lead, thanks to a 7-goal-to-3 second term. The third quarter was where Upwey really came back hard. They booted 5.3 while Monbulk kept Upwey in the contest with their inaccuracy, scoring 1.9 to see their lead reduced to just 19 points at the last change. The last term was a free flowing affair and both sides got plenty of the ball, but it was Monbulk that finished the day full of run, ramming home 8 goals to 3 to win by 45 points, which sees them now go one game clear in second spot.

Monbulk best players: D. Ward (1 goal), S. Williams (1 goal), T. Armstrong Upwey Tecoma best players: D. Waters (5 goals) J. Waters (4 goals), S. Dawson (2 goals) Wandin 13.16 (94) d Healesville 9.11 (65) Wandin was given a semi-fright for the first time this season as they came up against a disciplined and accountable Healesville in the first half.

Healesville led by eight points at the long break and Wandin had a battle on their hands. As good as Healesville was in the first half, they just couldn’t curtail Wandin’s run in the third as they booted 7 goals to 2 to grab a handy 26-point lead at the final break. The last term was a reasonably tight battle, with Wandin outscoring Healesville by just three points to win by 29 points and remain undefeated, two games clear on top of the ladder.

Wandin best players: J. Taylor, R. Wilson (2 goals), M. Polkinghorne Healesville best players: D. Anderson, C. Warren (1 goal), L. Daly Mount Evelyn 15.21 (111) d Yarra Glen 15.11 (101) Mount Evelyn has pulled off a great comefrom-behind win to get over Yarra Glen. Yarra Glen was terrific in the first half as they booted 10 goals to 2 and led by 44 points at the main break, and it looked how far Yarra Glen. Mount Evelyn came out in the third and really took the game on. They were somewhat wasteful, booting 5.7 to 3.1, but they had reduced the margin to 26 points to put them in touch, going into the last term. Mount Evelyn’s last term was outstanding. They produced arguably their best quarter of the year as they slammed on 8 goals to Yarra Glen’s 2 to take the lead late in the game and come away with a memorable victory, leaving Yarra Glen wondering how they let this one get away.

Mount Evelyn best players: R. Cowan (3 goals), B. Forbes (3 goals), G. Fraser (1 goal) Yarra Glen best players: J. Baughan, K. Hudson, B. James (1 goal).

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Gembrook Cockatoo 9.9 (63) d Kinglake 7.12 (54) Gembrook now finds itself two games clear in fifth spot after a hard-fought win over Kinglake, which have now slipped to third spot after their third loss in a row. Even though the final margin

was only nine points, Gembrook held the lead at every change. They led by 11 points at the first break and by just eight at half-time. The third quarter was where Gembrook did kick ahead a little, they only slotted the three goals but they did hold Kinglake to just one major to go into three-quarter time with a 16-point lead. The last quarter was real struggle with both sides finding it hard to get through each other’s defence. Kinglake won the quarter 2 goals to 1, but Gembrook were able to control the ball when necessary and were able to hold on to win by nine points in what was a tough encounter.

Gembrook Cockatoo’s best players: T. Scott, S. Martin, L. Scott (1 goal) Kinglake’s best players: J. Butterworth, J. Walker (1 goal), T. Arnott Thornton-Eildon 10.15 (75) d Seville 11.7 (73) Thornton now sits one game clear in second spot after their nail-biting two-point victory while Seville was left heart broken and find themselves two games out of the top five. This game was a topclass contest. It went goal for goal in the first half, and it was Thornton that had their nose in front by just eight points at the long break. The third term was a big struggle as both sides found it hard to score, as both defences were standing tall. Thornton scored 2 goals to 1 to increase their lead to 16 points by three-quarter time. Seville came out in the last and found some great running form that had been avoiding them all day. They finished strong, booting 5.1, while Thornton did have enough of the ball, but didn’t convert well enough to put a big gap on their opponents. They scored 2.5, which fortunately for them was enough to get over the line, come final siren in what a classic contest.

Thornton-Eildon best players: R. Chapman (1 goal), J. Chapman, B. Kapakoulakis.

Seville best players: L. Casini, C. Pahi (3 goals), R. Davis.

Powelltown 17.16 (118) d Yarra Junction 14.9 (93) This was really a good game of footy that Powelltown had to work overtime to get the victory as they eventually pulled away late in the game. The first half was a goal-for-goal affair. Powelltown could have led by more than their eight-point lead at the half as they booted 7.11 to 7.3 and wasted a few chances. The third term was another even contest with both sides slotting four goals and Powelltown’s lead only increased to nine points at the last break. Powelltown showed in the last they are capable of competing with the teams at the top end, as they played a controlled, professional term to finish the day. They booted six goals and while Yarra Junction still gave it their all booting three goals, it was Powelltown that controlled the tempo to come away with a good 25-point victory.

Powelltown best players: M. McArthur, N. Moody, G. Newing (6 goals) Yarra Junction best players: T. Cordwell, E. Wadsworth (1 goal), S. Danilovic (6 goals) Emerald 20.9 (129) d Yea 1.5 (11) Emerald was a class above Yea as they really taught them a football lesson. They shot out to a 50-point lead at half-time, booting nine goals while holding Yea to just one major. The second half was simply more of the same. Emerald dominated the play, they added another 11 goals to their total while unfortunately for Yea, they couldn’t add another goal to their score as they went down by 118 points in a game they would rather forget. Emerald sit one game clear on top of the ladder and have added to what was an already healthy percentage.

Healesville next three quarters were consistent as they booted six goals in each. Yarra Glen did battle hard, but could only snag two majors for the day as Healesville’s form was right on song.

Belgrave did lead at the final break by 19 points with a score-line of 6.3 (39) to 3.7 (25). The last quarter was a complete contrast to the first three as goals came thick and fast. Woori booted eight goals in the final term with B. Arnold doing his best to keep his side in the contest, finishing with eight goals to his name. However, Belgrave fared even

better in the last as they slotted 10 majors and had more avenues to goal which proved the difference in the end as they triumphed by 30 points.

Amarant Olinda Ferny Creek 9.14 (68) d Warburton Millgrove 7.7 (49) Olinda was really good in the first half as they got out to a 35-point lead while holding Warburton to just two behinds. To Warburton’s credit, they came out in the second-half and made it a real contest.

They booted 5 goals to 1 in the third and backed that up with a 6 goals to 2 final term to win by 84 points in convincing fashion.

Wandin 17.10 (112) d Mount Evelyn 6.8 (44) Wandin got off to a flyer with a 7 goal to 2 behinds first term to set themselves up for the day.

The second term was more of an even contest, but Wandin did stretch their lead as they went into half-time with 49 point advantage.

The third quarter saw Belgrave shoot 10 goals to 6 to get out to a handy 14-goal lead at the last change. Woori Yallock showed some real spunk in the last, and even thought they were never going to win this contest, they at least went down fighting. They won the quarter 13 goals to 8, but it was never going to be good enough as Belgrave walked off with a 9-goal win.

Belgrave best players: Jessica Weisgerber (32 goals), Cassandra Lynch, Lauren Read Woori Yallock best players: Kimberley Williams, Claire Williams, Heidi Summers (20 goals) Yarra Glen 46 d Mount Evelyn 31 This was a great battle in the first half, with both teams giving their all with Mount Evelyn going into half-time with a three-goal lead.

The last term was a copy of the third, with Yarra Glen continuing to stretch their lead. Once again, it was a 14-goal-to-5 term, which saw Yarra Glen come away with a 15-goal victory, thanks to a brilliant second half.

They got on a roll in the second term, scoring 15

goals to just 3 and their lead had blown out 16 goals at half-time. The second half was a similar story to the first. Olinda was just too skilled and despite Warburton’s best efforts, Olinda still added another 34 goals to 15 to win by 35 goals with a consistent four-quarter performance.

Yarra Junction best players: Courtney Richards, Catherine Cook, Katelyn Betts (9 goals) Powelltown best players: Michelle Finlay, Demi Barber.

Yea 42 d Emerald 41 This was a brilliant game that had big momentum swings throughout. Yea looked to be in control in the first half as they got out to a nine-goal lead at half time. Emerald came out in the third and turned this game around in a rush as they shot 13 goals while holding Yea to just 3, and at the last change it was Emerald leading by just one goal. The last quarter was a beauty as both sides went goal for goal, Yea shot 11 goals for the term to sneak ahead while Emerald scored nine, but it was Yea that triumphed by the slimmest of margins in what was an absolute classic.
