Tribute to Angels

By PETER DOUGLAS AND RUSSELL BENNETT FAMILY, sporting club members and local students were among the many grieving over the weekend after the loss of three teenagers in a car accident.

Sharn Walker, Felisha Allen and Jason Breakwell lost their lives after their car hit a tree along Phillip Road, Avonsleigh, last Tuesday afternoon, with friend Jake Mitchell, 19, surviving the crash.

Many moving tributes were held, including at the Emerald versus Gembrook-Cockatoo football match, where the teens all had strong links.

After the match, every Brookers and Bombers player stood arm-inarm next to an opponent or opposition club person, forming a ring around the centre-circle in the middle of the Gembrook football ground.

Caillin Porter, from the Emerald Football Club, which lost the clash, said it was a fitting tribute. “The one thing I want to hear is Gembrook going in and singing their song, and I want to make sure it’s loud,� she said. “We’re here to celebrate this game we play and we’re here to celebrate each other. “We’ve spent our time in silence, and Gembrook has every right to sing

that song loud and with passion.�

Out of respect for the teens, the Emerald Under 18s football match did not go ahead.

Earlier in the morning, with cars beginning to pack out the ground from well before 9.30am, netball players converged on the courts to pay special tribute to Sharn. Amanda Paull, Sharn’s coach and friend, spoke before the gathering of more than 100 people released balloons into the sky.

Meanwhile, Emerald Secondary College last Thursday opened its doors to many students reeling over the shock loss.

All were well-known at the school, with both girls in Year 11.

Department of Education counsellors trained in loss and grief were made available to students, with many students attending and seeking assistance.

College principal Mike Jaremczuk said the tight-knit school community was still in shock, but it was encouraging to see the students support one another. “In times like this, it’s important to talk about what has taken place,� he said. “There were plenty who came to show support for one another.�

Mr Jaremczuk said the teens were well-known and popular among their peers.

“The two girls were both students here and really well liked,� he said. “James was a student last year ... he was a charismatic kid, well-liked and had many great mates. “It’s a complete tragedy, which will have a big impact on the community.�

A Go FundMe page, ‘Avonsleigh Angels’, has been set up to help ease the financial burden of the families.

About $30,000 has already been raised, with more than $3000 raised at the Gembrook footy ground on Saturday alone.

To donate, visit www.gofundme. com/avonsleighangels.

Mourning loss arm-in-arm In a touching display of solidarity, Emerald footballers and netballers stood as one with their Gembrook Cockatoo brothers and sisters in arms on Saturday to remember Sharn Walker, Jason Breakwell and Felisha Allen who tragically passed away in an Avonsleigh crash on Tuesday last week. 141384 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT

Memorial repairs welcomed

Persistence pays off for weed program

By PETER DOUGLAS

Management Authority, which is a collaborator on the project.

The body is involved with the program through its Yarra4Life initiative, which helps to protect and enhance the area.

Yarra4Life believes the Dandenong Ranges is an important agricultural and tourism area, acknowledging it as a key habitat for the Helmeted Honeyeater and the Leadbeater’s Possum.

Mr Thuan said the Dandenong Ranges comprised some of Australia’s finest bush and cultural heritage.

However, he said it was constantly under threat from weeds, which not only overtook the native species, but provided additional fuel for bushfires.

1190323-LN28-15

IT’S a case of third time lucky for an anticipated weed-reduction program that is taking place in the Dandenong Ranges.

After first flagging the project in 2007, La Trobe MP Jason Wood, this week finally witnessed some results of a $450,000 program to tackle Wandering Trad, after twice watching the project shelved due to election losses.

Mr Wood last week joined project volunteers for a tour to inspect contractor work along Sherbrooke Road at Kallista, as well as sites at Olinda and other parts of the Dandenong Ranges.

The group observed efforts

from the first phase, which is aimed at stimulating natural regeneration in an area viewed as being under serious threat.

Mr Wood said Wandering Trad is an invasive species that posed a major threat to the region’s flora and fauna.

“Wandering Trad suffocates the native plant-life, which doesn’t get the chance to regenerate,” he said.

“It gets in the waterways and causes all sorts of damage.

“Wandering Trad used to be given away as a creeper at school fetes, but has proven to be highly destructive.”

Joining the tour group was Stephen Thuan from the Port Phillip Westernport Catchment

WITH this year’s Remembrance Day in mind, the Upwey/Belgrave RSL says the Belgrave War Memorial is now much better equipped to host public services.

Two worthy projects have taken place at the memorial site, on the corner of Wattle Avenue and the Burwood Highway, which have made it a safer public space.

Thanks to a generous Federal Government grant of $1100, the war memorial has been re-grouted, along with repairs to the tiled walkway which leads to the cenotaph.

Also, the memorial cross has been relocated from underneath a tree, which RSL members believed was not conducive to reflection.

Upwey/Belgrave RSL secretary Leigh Baker said the work was much needed.

“We’re very happy to have received funding and assistance for this work,” he said.

“It was dangerous to the public, someone could have slipped while climbing up to lay a wreath.”

The memorial was erected in the 1930s, with not much work completed at the site since its construction.

The repair work came under the Saluting Their Service Community The repaired memorial is now a much safer place to hold public services. 141257 Grants program.

Stand up to bullies

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS A TECOMA martial arts group is taking a stand against bullying in the Yarra Ranges.

Paragon Martial Arts has developed the ‘I stand against bullying’ not-for-profit community group and is running workshops open to everyone to equip children and parents with tools to reduce bullying in the community.

Sensei Cameron Gill has been working for 15 years to try and put an end to bullying and recently decided that the dojo needed to take the fight to the next level.

Sempai Michael Robinson said the average bullying rate for children in the Yarra Ranges was almost 50 per cent and affected children of all ages.

“Bullying is even seen in preschools, so the workshop is aimed at all ages,” he said “We are looking to give different tools and tips to different age groups to tackle different problems that children and even adults may face.”

The program has support from local businesses such as Bell Real Estate in Olinda who has put up signage to advertise the workshop.

While the workshop is being run

by Paragon Martial Arts, the focus is on a non-physical and non-violent approach to dealing with bullying at schools and workplaces.

“The best self-defence does not use any physical means,” Sempai Michael said.

“Learning to walk away or use words or having other tools to use before escalating to anything physical is what we want to teach.”

The workshop has been designed with the help of psychologists to give people and especially children the skills to prevent bullying.

The main ways the workshop achieves this is by building the child’s confidence and resilience, teaching children to deal with bullying in a positive and constructive way, how to approach schools and other organisations where bullying takes place, how children can approach people within those organisations, and to help children to know what to do if they see someone else being bullied.

Briefly Safety call after crash EMERALD police Senior Sergeant has asked drivers to stay safe on the roads, following last week’s triple fatality in Avonsleigh.

On Tuesday 30 June, three teenagers were killed when the car they were in hit a tree on Phillips Road in Avonsleigh - one of the occupants of the car survived the incident.

Without commenting on the specifics of the crash, Sen Sgt Greg Addis asked drivers to take care on the roads as the wet weather settled in.

“As far as traffic goes, drive responsibly and carefully, and be particularly aware of the adverse weather conditions and roads throughout the hills district at the moment,” Sen Sgt Addis said.

“Take care at all times when driving on the roads in the area, particularly at this time of year.”

Unlocked homes targeted EMERALD police are asking for witnesses to come forward, after two burglaries last week in Cockatoo.

Emerald Senior Sergeant Greg Addis told the Mail that two burglaries had occurred in Cockatoo on Thursday 2 July.

The first incident, in Amphlett Avenue in Cockatoo, took place in the early hours of the morning, where the burglar entered the home through an unlocked door.

The property’s occupant was in the house, in bed at the time of the robbery.

Later in the morning, about 8.40am, a burglar entered a Kitchener Parade property in Cockatoo, stealing items from the house.

The occupant of the property was also home at the time, and police believe the burglar may be known to the resident.

Sen Sgt Addis did not indicate whether the burglaries were linked, but said the common factor was that both properties had their doors unlocked.

He asked residents to secure their residences by locking doors and windows.

“It’s just the same old message to be aware and to secure their premises, even when they’re home,” Sen Sgt Addis said.

Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to file a report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Students and instructors at Paragon Martial Arts in Tecoma show off their best superhero pose to show that everyone can be a superhero when it comes to stopping bullying. 141382 Sempai Michael said confidence was very important in learning how to deal with bullying in a constructive way.

“If someone is able to be confident, they are less likely to be a victim and they are more able to deal with it,” he said.

“This confidence transfers into the resilience as well. For example, if someone is calling your kid a name or picking on them, they are able to take it in their stride and not let it damage their self-esteem and that way it’s less likely that whoever is bullying them is less likely to con- Mia Bradshaw looks on as tinue.”

POLICE are searching for information after a Mount Evelyn garage was broken into over the weekend.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said that between Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July, a garage at a York Road property in Mount Evelyn was broken into.

Power tools were stolen from the property, valued at about $800.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to file a report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Pizza cash stolen

Help find a missing teen VICTORIA police is appealing for public assistance to help locate missing Upper Ferntree Gully boy Dean Zonneveld.

The 14-year-old was last seen at his home in Upper Ferntree Gully on Thursday 18 June, but has not

been seen since.

Police have concern for Dean’s welfare due to his age, and believe he may be frequenting the outer eastern suburbs.

Investigators have released an image of Dean in the hope some-

one knows of his whereabouts.

Dean is described as Caucasian in appearance, 180cm tall with a medium build, brown wavy hair and blue eyes.

Anyone who sees Dean is urged to call triple zero immediately.

Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of Dean Zonneveld.

POLICE are on the hunt for a burglar who broke into a Kallista pizza shop last week, making off with cash in an overnight burglary.

Police believe that, overnight between Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 July, unknown persons broke into Mad Raven Pizza on Monbulk Road in Kallista, using a jimmy bar or similar to open a rear door.

Cash was stolen from the premises, and anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to file a report at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au.

Climate change: call to action The state T of

affairs Christine Fyffe MP Member for Evelyn

THE 20th century was a remarkable period in world history, with the sharp increase in human population and the proliferation of many industries that brought convenience to what was previously a harsh existence.

New discoveries for the application of the Earth’s resources as well as advances in our knowledge led to changes in our understanding and use

of science and technology.

This has also led to a stronger appreciation of our impact on the Earth and what it means for future generations.

The rate of advancement was impressive, and those achievements should not be minimised for we all rely on the luxuries afforded by modern convenience today.

However, there is room for personal reflection on our individual impact on the Earth and how we can reduce it.

The focus of Victorians and media on the need for government to achieve global agreement around emissions reduction and adaptation planning often is a convenient way of deflecting our

own personal responsibility.

We ‘can’ change how we do things at home and in the workplace, which ultimately determines the environmental footprint we all leave behind.

The reality is that there is nothing in the way of any individual purchasing green power.

It is an option through utility companies.

There is nothing stopping you from purchasing your own household solar system where you can even earn a dividend from energy suppliers.

Photovoltaic systems are far more affordable than even five years ago as a result of technological improvements in the materials used in the panels and

Snippets

the manufacture of batteries.

There is nothing stopping you from purchasing a rainwater tank to reduce your reliance on our dams, which in turn impacts the availability of water resources needed for environmental flows.

Equally there is nothing stopping you from upgrading your lightbulbs to energy efficient LEDs. In fact, subsidies exist to entice more people to take up this highly cost effective and environmentally friendly option.

The surprise, funnily enough to some, is that each of these actions constitutes action on climate change.

They are not dependent on govern-

ments signing global treaties or committing to new targets.

They are about a choice we all make as individuals - young and old, male and female.

My goal in writing this article was not to justify government inaction on important environment issues.

Policy will always play a role.

My intention is to provide a call to action.

Realising we already have the power is more important now than ever before.

So I ask what are you, the reader, going to do now to take action on climate change?

Fund-raiser case before court

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS DISGRACED wellness blogger Belle Gibson has been taken to court by Consumer Affairs Victoria, accused of allegedly fraudulent fund-raising activities.

One of the groups Ms Gibson reportedly promised fund-raising money to is the Schwarz family from Upwey.

Consumer Affairs Victoria appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last week to demand Ms Gibson prove that she made charitable donations from fund-raising and answer questions about her health.

Ms Gibson did not appear in court, but has previously claimed to give away “almost all profits“ from her business and two fund-raising drives in which she purportedly raised thousands of dollars in donations.

Ms Gibson was accused of getting close to the Schwarz family to allegedly give her story of illness more credibility and of raising money for the family that they never received.

Eight-year-old Joshua Schwarz was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2013, the same kind of aggressive cancer Ms Gibson claimed to have had.

Ms Gibson claimed to have raised funds to assist the family through sales of her health and wellness app, The Whole Pantry.

It has been reported that the Schwarz family never knew about the fund-raising and hadn’t received any donations from Ms Gibson.

Ms Gibson has until 9 July to answer questions put forward by Consumer Affairs.

Democracy at stake? Human culling next?

ABOUT a year ago, chatting to a friend, she said, “Why does Tony Abbott continually repeat himself?” Well, it is called neurolinguistic programming - in other words ‘brainwashing’, and as annoying as it is, you remember what has been said, I notice the likes of Joe Hockey, Scott Morrison and the immensely irritating Christopher Pyne, but now the Leader of the Opposition is at it as well.

Where am I going with this? About nine months ago, Tony Abbott introduced us to Team Australia and implied that if we the hoi polloi weren’t part of this team, we were against it and that wasn’t good. Before the Coalition was voted into power, I used to think we lived in a democracy, free speech was the go. I know we have to be aware of our surroundings, but we do not need the constant scaremongering. For the most part, we are good, law-abiding citizens who don’t need to be frightened by politicians and now I have found, sadly, there are now people who are afraid by what we are being told. Enough, I say.

Enough, I say. See? You have got me at it.

Val Butler, Cockatoo.

IN relation to the article ‘Myna capture mooted’ (30 June, ‘Mail’), these birds - like rabbits and foxes - were forcibly introduced to this country by ‘us’.

We brought them here because we wanted them to eat the insects in our market gardens.

But now -like rabbits and foxes -they have outlived their usefulness to us and are being demonised.

In the article, we’re told these birds are guilty of destroying the nests of birds and possums and attacking small birds.

Well guess which animal is responsible for the greatest amount of habitat destruction and the extinction of scores of species In Australia?

Man himself.

When will the human cull begin?

Jenny Moxham, Monbulk .

Tea support a big deal I WOULD like to sincerely thank the Mount Evelyn community for its generous support of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Many locals supported Cancer Council Victoria’s fight against cancer by attending or hosting a morning tea, and

donating generously.

Together, we helped Cancer Council Victoria reach a record number of 8700 hosts for the campaign.

My Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event was held at Evelyn Ridge Retirement Village on Thursday 14 May, with more than 200 attendees showing their support.

More than $4000 was raised for Cancer Council Victoria’s prevention programs, life-saving research and support services.

Examples of how this money will be invested include: *Funding for about 285 talented researchers and their cutting-edge projects; *Educating the public on how they can cut their cancer risk through prevention programs, including SunSmart and Quilt; *Staffing Cancer Council’s support and information line on 13 11 20, with experienced cancer nurses who are there to assist all people affected by cancer.

Again, I would like to sincerely thank the Mount Evelyn community as Cancer Council Victoria would not be able to complete the work they do without your support and generosity.

Liona Noble, Mount Evelyn.

Healing for the hurting EVERY once in a while, a tragedy occurs of such magnitude that noone is left unaffected.

This is particularly true when a small community is involved.

And it’s during times like these that social places like football clubs, schools and community hubs become not only a place of refuge and connection, but a place of healing for those who are hurting.

In such times, a grieving community often finds a way forward, even when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

In light of the tragic events that unfolded in Avonsleigh last Tuesday, it should be remembered that this region is renowned for its support and resilience.

There is support available for everyone, right around the Yarra Ranges, whether it is in the form of a neighbour or a mate, or the coming together of a community.

No matter if you’re born and bred here or a tree-changer, it doesn’t take long to understand there are deep connections within this region,

particularly when sporting clubs and schools are involved.

In this region, teens don’t just attend school with each other, but play sports and spend weekends together, and watch each other grow into adulthood.

It’s important to understand that such institutions are more than just a space for recreation and competition.

Sporting clubs are places where life-long bonds are formed, often enduring long after you’ve stopped playing.

Clubs are built on more than just winning games, but a culture of helping out your mate and enjoying each other’s company.

Which is why, when tragedy strikes, clubs can hurt, but also why they are vitally important.

As our society has progressed, it’s become more evident we don’t need to lock away our emotions.

If we’re finding things tough, it’s no crime to say, ‘hey, I’m not doing that well’.

New place to go

By PETER DOUGLAS A NEW unisex toilet and storage area will soon be built at Emerald Cemetery.

Funded through the Greater Metropolitan Cemetery Trust Eastern Branch at Lilydale, the $80,000 project will include sustainable features such as solar power and a water tank.

The project will be made possible also through the work

of the Friends and Carers of the Emerald Section (FACES) of the Greater Metropolitan Cemetery Trust.

The group regularly undertakes maintenance tasks such as weeding, raking, pruning and general tidying around the cemetery grounds between 10am and noon.

The group enjoys a ‘cuppa’ and a chat afterwards.

During winter, the tasks to be undertaken are rose pruning, which is quite a task.

The group is asking for an extra hand to help with its coming rose pruning program, which they say is a big task.

Any help would be appreciated for Mondays on 13, 20, 27 July; and 3 August.

For further details, contact Graeme on 5968 5612.

Friends of the Emerald Cemetery are conducting great work. Pictured are Graeme and Sherrin Fergus.

Budget changes passed

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS YARRA Ranges Council has unanimously passed a motion to endorse recommended changes to the budget, capital expenditure program and the long-term financial plan at a special council meeting on 30 June.

The motion came after 29 submissions from residents about potential changes to the documents which were considered by a special committee of all nine Yarra Ranges councillors.

One of the submissions from the public called for the Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service (DRERS) to be disassociated from the Belgrave Health Hub project.

The committee wrote that there would be “no change” to the project, continuing the plan to move DRERS

headquarters into the hub.

Lyster Ward Councillor Mike Clarke said the council response to the submission was that DRERS should be moving into the hub.

“We have met with people who run DRERS and their current facilities are inadequate and the new ones are very much designed for their needs,” he said.

“We are absolutely still interested in being part of the project,” said DRERS manager Tania Bevan.

Other unsupported submissions include not supporting public calls against higher family day care fees and rate rises.

Five submissions were put forward opposing fee increases for family daycare services provided by the council,

but the committee wrote that the fee increase was “necessary.”

Citing changes to the Federal Government’s childcare benefits, the committee wrote that the council had to standardise fees across the service.

“We acknowledge that this has resulted in a fee increase for all families,” the committee wrote.

The committee also wrote that the council would no longer receive $90,000 from the Federal Government to support family day care, which was used to subsidise fees.

“This change has also resulted in a small number of families, who previously received the service for a very low fee, having a more significant fee increase over the last 12 months.”

Five other submitters asked the

council to reduce the proposed rate increase, though this was also knocked back.

However, two submissions - both requesting funding to upgrade the Kimberley Reserve Pavilion in Chirnside Park to include female change facilities - were acted upon.

In the report, the special committee recommended moving $50,000 from the recreation facilities budget to the capital expenditure program, for the Kimberley Reserve Masterplan feasibility project.

Many other submissions, about funding for footpaths or road seals, were referred to the 2016-’17 capital works program to be considered for funding next year.

Chirnside Ward councillor, Andy

Extra council cash for capital works from budget

By JESSE GRAHAM COUNCIL’S capital works program will have its funding increased over the long term, as part of a move by a Yarra Ranges councillor at last week’s budget meeting.

At the meeting on Tuesday, 30 June, Chirnside Ward councillor Andy Witlox put forward an amendment to the council motion to pass the agenda.

The amendment stipulates that, over the long term, funding for the council’s capital works program would increase as a proportion of total expenditure.

Cr Witlox said the move was to ensure that money for capital works would rise along with council’s other expenses.

“Lots of things can happen, but we don’t want to see the numbers in our overall expenses going up and the numbers in our capital works program not going up at the same rate,” he said.

“It’s fairly close already, but it’s a little bit lumpy.

“We want to ensure that we can keep that expenditure going for the long term.”

The move was supported by Lyster Ward councillor, Mike Clarke, who said

it was important for the area.

“We are both a council that is very capital dependent and requires a significant amount for our works,” Cr Clarke said.

“Indexing that with general expenditure growth, to me, would be a bottom line.”

However, O’Shannassy Ward councillor, Jim Child, opposed Cr Witlox’s amendment, due to its potential strain on council resources.

“I’m just concerned, in regard to this lock into proportion, in regards to where it may lead us in having to fund further capital works by having to go into borrowings, because we’ve increased our expenditure,” Cr Child said.

Director of Corporate Services, Troy Edwards, said the move would be a “stretch” for the council, and came at a time of uncertainty, with the Victorian Government’s rate capping set to come in next year.

He said the council was also entering enterprise agreements for the next three years, which gave “considerable uncertainty or flux” about the council’s expenditure.

Witlox, said he was pleased with the council’s decisions, and that the public’s comments were being heard.

“I’m really pleased with the actions that have been taken on all of these submissions - they’re not being ignored,” he said.

“We will get back to each of these submitters with the action we’re taking.”

For the full list of submissions, see the Yarra Ranges Council agenda at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

“As we go into the next budget cycle, we will have to undertake a significant rebuilt of the long-term financial plan,” he said.

“We just don’t know the magnitude at this point in time.”

Cr Witlox responded that the policy would be a “goal” for the council to meet, and did not set a strict percentage to be met.

“We do have to understand that, yes, there will be blows to the budget from time to time, and that may mean that some of these strategy items are not achieved on particular years,” he said.

“And so be it, we’ll wear that - it is general and it is something we should aim for.”

The motion passed in a six-to-one vote, meaning the budget and its related documents passed with Cr Witlox’s amendment.

Councillors Len Cox and Fiona McAllister were not present for the budget meeting.

Aunty Dot fronts Upwey artist’s tilt at Archibalds

By JESSE GRAHAM

Upwey artist Justine Indigo-Rose with her portrait of Healesville Wurundjeri Elder, Aunty Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Dot Peters, entered in the 2015 Archibald Prize. 141311

AN UPWEY artist is taking aim at a national art award, creating a towering portrait of Healesville identity, Aunty Dot Peters, for this year’s Archibald Prize.

Upwey artist Justine Indigo-Rose is in the running for the 2015 Archibald Prize after sending off a two metres high portrait of Aunty Dot standing two metres tall.

Ms Indigo-Rose spoke with the Mail about the portrait after presenting Aunty Dot with the painting, the weekend before it was sent to Sydney on Monday 22 June.

She said that, through her work with Belgrave Survival Day and the Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA), she heard of and saw first-hand the work of Aunty Dot. Aunty Dot is renowned for her work in progressing reconciliation between Indigenous

and non-Indigenous Australians, particularly her work for the recognition of Indigenous soldiers and service people in conflicts such as World War II. After encouraging the Healesville RSL to take part in Reconciliation Week in 2006, the first Victorian Indigenous Men and Women Remembrance Service was held at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance.

“I’ve been an artist for a long time and I like being involved in public art or art that wants to communicate something,” she said.

“She’s very important, and it’s important to pay recognition to people while they’re still here.

“The Archibalds is a good chance to profile Australians for all sorts of things that they’ve done or achieved - often it can get a bit entertainmentoriented, so it’s really nice to celebrate other lives and other achievements in our country.”

Aunty Dot, on the day she was presented with the portrait, said she was “flattered” by the piece, which Ms Indigo-Rose said took roughly 100 hours and two sittings to complete.

“I’m flattered that she wants to paint me like that,” Aunty Dot said.

“It’s great.”

The Archibald Prize has been running for the last 94 years, and is judged by the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

The prize was started to “foster portraiture as well as support arts and perpetuate the memory of great Australians”, according to the Gallery of NSW’s website.

Finalists will have their pieces hung in the gallery, and Ms Indigo-Rose said she will find out whether her piece has been announced as a finalist in mid-July.

Driver fund honours memories IN early January 1995, Anthony, 15, and Travis, 13, were killed in a road accident in Cockatoo.

Both boys were enthusiastic members of the Upwey Junior Fire Brigade, with Anthony being the junior captain at the time.

The boys were the sons of the senior brigade’s 1st Lieutenant Peter Hall and his wife, Liz. Their loss was a shock to many, because they were popular in the community and successful in brigade competitions.

Upwey

As a way of perpetuating their memory, and in a way that is beneficial to the community, a fund was established.

The aim is to provide young adults of the volunteer fire service in the Dandenong Ranges the chance to participate in a Level 1 Defensive Driving Course.

The one-day course is valued at $295.

Fund convenor and former Upwey Brigade captain Peter Marke said the fund had received fantastic support.

“We have now raised over $24,000, which

with support from the Murcott’s Driving Excellence, which has again donated two courses, has generated sufficient interest to again offer six young drivers this opportunity,” he said.

“We, therefore, invite applications from the community and the volunteer fire service in the Dandenong Ranges for this year’s awards.”

He said four courses would be awarded to young members of the fire service and two members of the local community.

Mr Marke said he was proud of the fund’s success.

Applicants (from over 18s who own their own vehicle and reside in the Dandenong Ranges) should forward their applications to Melisa Hepworth - Executive Officer - Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group - 30-32 Main Street, Upwey, Victoria 3158.

Donations can also be forwarded to this address with cheques made out to Anthony and Travis Driver Memorial Fund.

Applications close on 28 August.

For further information, contact Peter Marke on 9754 5555 or 0427 037 839.

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS THE Dandenong Ranges junior football league held interleague matches this weekend, with top performances observed from players across the regions.

Representative teams from the DRJFL played host to teams from the Frankston and District Junior Football league at Seville Junior Football Ground on Sunday.

The teams were made up of players from clubs all over the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley.

It was a particularly special day for Mount Evelyn under 12s player Declan Thiele, who got to play the game he loves on his birthday.

DRJFL interleague representative Ian Purdon said the interleague games were a great way to foster relations between leagues.

“The interleague matches are friendly matches, and are about creating a bond between neighbouring leagues,” he said.

“It gives the kids an opportunity to play a game against their peers that they may not have a chance to ordinarily play.”

The matches were put together by Frankston and District interleague representative Darren Price and Ian Purdon, who is also on the development squad for DRJFL. There were memorials and minutes of silence held after the game for both the Emerald teenagers who lost their lives in a car crash last week and for AFL coach Phil Walsh.

Kudos for care program

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS FRIDAY was onesie day at the Mount Evelyn Primary School July vacation care program, with children and teachers donning their best one-piece garments.

Children from all over were in attendance for onesie day from local Mount Evelyn children to children from Yarra Junction, Monbulk, Mooroolbark and even as far as Melton.

During the vacation program, children enjoy in house and excursion activities such as trips to the aquarium, African drumming lessons, food craft day and learning experiences like building worm farms.

The Mount Evelyn Primary School vacation and after hours care program will be celebrating one full year of activity packed programs in September.

The program is an accredited childcare service that is eligible for childcare benefit and childcare rebate fee deductions and is open to all children of primary school age.

The programs are run through Mount Evelyn Primary

Wet conditions, hot times

Marsh is a mash-up

By DENNIS FULLER AT Emerald Golf Club last Saturday, when possible shower morphed into constant rain, conditions suited only those with webbed feet and a perfect drying towel.

It seems, judging by the scores, that Jeff Marsh (25) lived up to the family name to slosh in with a nett score of 68 to take out the July Monthly medal and the bragging rights over the rest of the B Grade crew.

In A Grade, it was Peter Glasscock (13) who was once again the winner on a countback from Peter Clowes (16) when they both carded handicap equalling 70.

The best of the great unwashed were Dennis Fuller and John Carvill who both managed 72.

Dean Shannon was nearest the pin on the 4th, Dennis Fuller the 7th, Broc Reynolds the 13th and the ever consistent John Fisher picked up the nearest the pin on the 12th and the pro pin lolly on the 18th.

The two most consistent ladies golf-

By JAMIE STRUDLEY

ers are Davina MacKey and Brianna McCoy, and they fought out for the weekly gong once more.

In the end, it was once again, a victory for mistress of the greens, McCoy, who finished with a flurry for victory.

Wednesday’s Originally Faulty Golf (OFG) was a four-man ambrose event with the winners sharing the Henley Hill Cab Sav. Two teams both came in with a nett 56.375 to share the spoils of combat.

John Carvill, Mick Petrie, Ken Hill and Sepp Krummenacher were one team with the other being Graeme Fergus, Bobby Kennedy, Leigh Morison and Moss Fuller.

Fuller aided the score when he scored a personal eagle on the 33m par 4 16th hole.

Next week is the first week of the three round Sam Ritchie Winter Cup. This stableford event is played to honour one of our life members in Sam Ritchie who was the doyen of the club in past years.

WET, cold and miserable weather on Saturday morning created the perfect conditions for the Yarra Ranges Athletics cross country championships held at Morrison Reserve, Mount Evelyn.

Despite the weather, the club enjoyed a great turnout with some very competitive races.

Presentation of medals will be at the club’s presentation day on 22 August.

Next Saturday morning the club is at Lillydale Lake, Lilydale, for a fun day of cross country.

Many members will be competing at Sandown Park in the LAV and AV state road relay championships.

Good luck to all those competing.

New members of all ages and abilities will always be welcomed at our club.

Please visit www.yarrarangesathletics.org.au for more information, results and training times.

See you on Saturday morning.

Rain keeps scores low DIVISION 1 GRADE NETBALL Mount Evelyn 39 d Healesville 22 Mount Evelyn never really looked in too much trouble as they did control the game for the most part, but Healesville did have their moments.

Mount Evelyn led by nine goals at half-time with a score-line of 19 to 9, but weren’t playing at their normal high level. The third quarter saw Mount Evelyn skip further ahead as they started to win more of the ball. They scored 11 goals to 6 to get out to a comfortable 15-goal lead. The last quarter was an even enough contest, but it was Mount Evelyn that always had this game in hand as they scored 9 goals to 7 to win by 17 goals in the end.

By JUDY ORREN THE weather really turned on the winter conditions on Saturday.

Wet weather football or netball has not really been an issue so far this season.

Some low-scoring affairs for football was on the cards.

Monbulk got over the top of Olinda, while Wandin scraped home against a very strong Woori Yallock side.

Warburton has made it very hard for Yarra Glen.

Powelltown got over Kinglake in the end for a moral boosting win.

Netball saw the top three sides in Division 1 maintain their positions.

Alexandra got home by the slimmest of margins over Thornton, while Seville accounted for Yea and Powelltown got the four points off Kinglake.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Healesville 14.13. (97) d Mount Evelyn 8.9 (57) Healesville was a touch more polished as they accounted for Mount Evelyn. Healesville held their opponents to just three behinds in the first term, but they only managed 2.3 for the quarter to lead by two goals at the first change. The second term was a good battle, and if Mount Evelyn took their chances they could have been a bit closer than the half-time 14-point margin after they scored 3.4 to 4 straight for the term. The third term saw both teams boot three goals, but it was Healesville that was wasteful as they also kicked seven behinds to see them lead by 21 points at the final change. The last quarter was where Healesville’s run came to the fore as Mount Evelyn looked to run out of legs. Healesville booted 5 goals to 2 in the last to come away with a pretty good 40-point victory.

Best: Healesville - P. Fermanis (1 goal), B. Miller (1 goal), A. Miller (3 goals) Mount Evelyn - C. Urquhart, S. Tesoriero, L. Callaghan.

Monbulk 8.15 (63) d Olinda Ferny Creek 5.11 (41) This game was played in very trying conditions but in the end it was Monbulk that fought out a slogging 22-point victory. Monbulk led by just five points at the first break and could have been a touch further in front as they had five more scoring shots than their opponents. The second term saw just one major scored and that went the way of Monbulk to stretch their lead to nine points by half-time. The third was another tough quarter where it was hard to score. Both sides booted just one goal and Monbulk’s lead remained at nine points at the final change. The last term was yet another slog, but it was Monbulk that won more of the contested ball and it proved the difference in the end as they slotted 3 goals to 1 in the final stanza to win what was a gruelling contest.

Best: Monbulk - S. Williams (4 goals), M. Langworthy, C. Griffiths Olinda Ferny Creek - O. Millwood (1 goal), K. Currie, D. Rohrmann

Wandin 14.15 (99) d Woori Yallock 13.8 (86) Wandin still remain undefeated but was certainly given a big fright by a determined Woori Yallock. The first half was a terrific tussle as it went goal for goal and at the half, Wandin held a narrow 10-point lead. The third term saw Woori play great, hard direct football as they booted 4 goals to 1 and went into three quarter time with an eight-point advantage. Wandin was challenged for the first time this season and they showed why the are undefeated as they got the game back on their terms in the last as they controlled the ball and played precise football. They finished in good style, booting 5 goals to 2 to win by 13 points in what was a great contest.

Best: Wandin - R. Ross, M. Fowkes (3 goals), J. Bayliss Woori Yallock - T. Gibson, J. Matthews (1 goal), M. Edwards (4 goals)

Warburton Millgrove 12.10 (82) d Yarra Glen 6.13 (49) Warburton has lifted their head off the chopping block from relegation and put Yarra Glen’s on it with a fast finishing 33-point victory. This clash was a very scrappy affair for three quarters with neither team gaining any ascendancy. Warby led by four points at quarter time, three points at the half and then Yarra Glen pinched the lead at the last change as they went into three-quarter time with a one-point lead. The last quarter belonged to Warby as they ran over the top of a tiring Yarra Glen. They finished the day booting five goals, while holding Yarra Glen to just two points to win the game in good fashion.

Best: Healesville - Chelsea Connell, Caitlyn Jeffress, Georgia Murty

Mourning loss arm-in-arm

Mourning loss arm-in-arm In a touching display of solidarity, Emerald footballers and netballers stood as one with their Gembrook Cockatoo brothers and sisters in arms on Saturday to remember Sharn Walker, Jason Breakwell and Felisha Allen who tragically passed away in an Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Avonsleigh crash on Tuesday last week. 141384

Best: Warburton Millgrove - B. Clinch (2 goals), T. Walker, J. Iacono Yarra Glen - M. Ashton, R. Gurney, K. Hudson (1 goal)

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Thornton Eildon 17.10 (112) d Alexandra 4.3 (27) Thornton was never troubled in this game as the got out to a 37-point lead at half-time on the back of an 8 goal to 2 first half. Thornton put the game beyond any doubt in the third as they played their best footy of the day slamming on 8 goals to 1 and the margin had blown out to 80 points at the last change. The last quarter was really a non event as both sides just went through the motions, one goal each was added but nonetheless a sizeable win for Thornton.

Best: Thornton-Eildon - B. Haden (6 goals), B. Kapakoulakis (3 goals), J. Herridge Alexandra - B. Cooper, M. Steiner (1 goal), S. Steiner (1 goal)

Gembrook Cockatoo 5.6 (36) d Emerald 4.9 (33) Gembrook has beaten the league leaders by just three points in a game that was played in wet and windy conditions that neither team really adapted to. Gembrook did lead at every change, but with goals so hard to come by the margin never got beyond two goals. They led by five points at the first change and by 10 points at both halftime and three quarter time. The last quarter was certainly a nail-biter as Emerald booted the only major for the term to get within a kick but Gembrook was able to defend their narrow lead until the final siren to pull off what was an ugly win but a still a good one all the same.

Best: Gembrook Cockatoo - R. Delphine (1 goal), B. Wareham, T. Scott Emerald - L. McKenna, D. Volta, P. White (1 goal)

Powelltown 10.13 (73) d Kinglake 8.6 (54) Powelltown has pulled off arguably their best win of the season with a 19-point victory over third-placed Kinglake. Powelltown led by two goals at both quarter and half-time and looked to have the game on their terms to a degree. However, Kinglake made the most of their chances in the third as they booted three straight goals to 1.4 to see their deficit reduced to just two points at the final break. Powelltown’s defence was superb in the last as they won the important contests and held Kinglake to just 1 behind, while they added 2.5 to prove that they can match it with the best and could very much be a contender come finals.

Best: Powelltown - T. Hallmark, M. McLaughlin (3 goals), M. Lord (1 goal) Kinglake - T. McDonald, A. McMahon, S. McMahon

Seville 17.18 (120) d Yea 3.10 (28) Seville set the tone for the day early as they shot out of the blocks with a 7.1 to nil first term.

Yea did hit the scoreboard in the second with 2.5, but Seville was more efficient with the ball and scored 5.3 to lead by 59 points at the main break.

In the third term, Seville really should have blown Yea right away but they booted an incredibly inaccurate 4.15 to 1.3 to lead by 89 points at the final change. The last quarter was nothing special as both sides just played the game out booting one goal each seeing Seville win by 92 points.

Best: Seville - D. Groen (1 goal), A. Knight, R. Davis (2 goals) Yea - J. Ryan, D. Evans, M. McCulloch

Yarra Junction: Bye UNDER 18s Healesville 22.16 (148) d Mount Evelyn 4.4 (28) Mount Evelyn did battle very hard early but

Healesville’s skill was too much for them to maintain as they jumped to a 27- point lead at the first change. Healesville really skipped away in the second as they booted 6.1 to just 1 behind and their lead had blown out to 63 points at the main break. The second half was more of the same as Healesville went on to add another 10 goals, while Mount Evelyn could only manage another two majors as they went down by 120 points to a very good side.

Best: Healesville - T. Sund (7 goals), J. Parish-Donkin (4 goals), M. Jeffery Mount Evelyn - M. Oultram (2 goals), C. Knoll, R. Toughill

Upwey Tecoma 35.21 (231) d Powelltown 0.0 (1) Upwey came up against a struggling Powelltown and it showed on the scoreboard. Upwey dominated throughout not giving Powelltown a sniff. They booted 19 goals in the first half while holding Powelltown scoreless. The second half didn’t get any better for Powelltown as Upwey went on their merry way adding another 16 goals (10 of those coming in the last) to just one behind to win by a massive 230 points in a complete dominating four-quarter performance. Upwey’s M. Kirby was unstoppable, booting 11 goals in a fantastic display.

Best: Upwey - Complete team performance Powelltown - C. Sutherland, K. Jamieson, J. Pettit.

Olinda Ferny Creek 15.16 (106) d Woori Yallock 5.6 (36) A consistent four-quarter performance from Olinda was too good for Woori Yallock to match.

Olinda booted 8.6 to 3.2 in the first half to lead by a handy 34 points and be in control. The second half was a similar story to the first, and although Olinda didn’t dominate the game, they were still good enough to add another 7 goals to 2 to win by quite a comfortable 70 points.

Best: Olinda Ferny Creek - J. Kennedy (1 goal), B. MensaMauger, T. Gelbert Woori Yallock - D. Benson, T. Kear, J. Cousens.

Yea 13.11 (89) d Belgrave 3.3 (21) Yea controlled the majority of the play throughout the day and was never really challenged by Belgrave despite their best efforts. Yea booted 5.7 to 2 straight goals in the first to lead by 25 points but weren’t playing at their best.

The second half saw Yea really straighten up with their play and it showed on the scoreboard. They added 8.4 to just 1.3 to win by 68 points thanks to a very good second half of footy.

Best: Yea - R. Aldous, H. Jarvie (1 goal), B. White (1 goal) Belgrave - N. Walden, I. McGowan, T. Somervaille

Warburton Millgrove 16.8 (104) d Yarra Glen 6.10 (46) Warburton played a great brand of football as they held Yarra Glen at bay in the first half.

They booted 6.6 (42) to 2.2 (14) in the first half to have a good handle on the game. Warby put the game beyond doubt in the third quarter, slamming home 7 goals to just 4 points to lead by 77 points at the final change. The last quarter was a goal for goal affair as both teams slotted four goals but make no mistake Warby certainly dominated this contest.

Olinda Ferny Creek 60 d Monbulk Hawks 26 Olinda really did dominate this match from start to finish. They started well with a 15 goals to 5 first quarter and backed that up with a 12 goal to 6 second term to go into half-time with a 16goal advantage. Olinda kept up their good play in the second half, limiting Monbulk’s chances and making them pay on the turnovers. They added another 33 goals to 15 to win very convincingly in the end.

Best: Olinda Ferny Creek - Louise Conway, Ashlee Howard (23 goals), Tamara Luke.

Monbulk Hawks - Lisa Boyle, Sophie Byatt, Paige Whitworth.

Wandin 93 d Woori Yallock 14 Wandin was in no mood to show any mercy to the winless Woori as they gave them a belting.

Wandin started on fire with a 26 goal to 2 opening term. They then went on to add another 22 goals to 2 in the second and by half-time their lead was already out to 44 goals. The only real interest in this game was to see if Wandin could crack the 100-goal mark. They certainly gave themselves every chance but fell just seven goals short after a 45 goals to 10 second half to deal Woori a 79goal defeat and a game they will want to forget in a hurry.

Best: Wandin - Brooke Goldsmith, Melissa Martinov (29 goals), Kathleen McMahon Woori Yallock - Sophie Young, Ashley Shanks, Heidi Summers (14 goals)

Yarra Glen 62 d Warburton Millgrove 24 Yarra Glen was in fine form as they dominated over Warburton for the majority of the play. They got off to a good start with a 13 goal to 5 first quarter and then backed that up in the second with another 13 goals to Warburton’s 6, and at halftime held a very handy 15-goal lead. The second half saw Yarra Glen keep stretching their lead as the game progressed, their ball movement was quick and precise and Warby just couldn’t match them. Yarra Glen went on to add another 36 goals to 13 in the second half to win by 38 goals with a great team performance.

Best: Yarra Glen - Georgia Taylor (32 goals), Elizabeth Kay (30 goals), Chelsea Birchall Warburton Millgrove - Grace Barnard, Chelsea Barnard, Jacqueline Darwell
