ONE of Seville’s earliest buildings was destroyed in an early morning house fire on Friday.

The 1890s homestead in Seymour Street was burning fiercely by the time the Seville CFA units arrived on the scene.

It had operated from 1934 to 1949 by a Mr and Mrs A. Robinson as the Pomona Guest House.

The fire was discovered around 6am when the male owner awoke to find the house ablaze and called triplezero for help.

He and his partner, who rushed back from work in Melbourne after being notified of the fire, were assisted by firefighters with blankets and some retrieved items of clothing as they stood in the cold.

Seville CFA Captain David Clark said units from six local brigades and the Bayswater Breathing Apparatus unit, were called in to help fight the fire which took about half an hour to bring it under control.

Capt Clark said the house had been substantially built on over the years, but that it was the original section in the middle of the building that was destroyed.

He said while there was extensive damage, and loss of antiques and personal possessions, some furniture and personal effects were able to be salvaged.

“There are quite a few rooms, and all the hardwood timber in the ceiling was burning, and it was quite difficult to get to some of those spots,” Capt Clark said.

“It took a bit to get it completely out, but under the circumstances, was quite a good save to come away with anything.”

The owners looked on in disbelief as volunteer firefighters battled the

Bogus collectors doorknocking

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S Salvation Army is warning residents that phony collectors are making their way around town, posing as representatives to steal money.

Lieutenant Sarah Eldridge told the Mail on Monday 20 July that friends had reported people posing as Salvation Army collectors going door-todoor, asking for money.

“I called the head office, because occasionally they do campaigns - although they usually tell us about it,” Ms Eldridge said.

“They have confirmed there have been a number of people

Eldridge said they could ask for identification.

“Always ask for ID from collectors who are collecting - if they’re from a reputable charity, they’ll have a proper ID which will be signed and have contact numbers you can check on,” she said.

If in doubt, always call the police on triple-zero.

“I don’t want people to be swindled from their money out of the goodness of their heart,” Ms Eldridge said.

who have stolen Red Shield Appeal stuff from down the line, and they’re going to various places and collecting on behalf of the Salvation Army - but they’re not.”

Ms Eldridge said the organisation did not run door-to-door campaigns, with the exception of the Red Shield Appeal in the last two weeks of May. She said the only registered, regular collector, was based outside of the Healesville Jewellers most days of the week, but no door-to-door collectors were legitimately part of the organisation.

If residents are unsure of the identity of people approaching them and asking for money, Ms

YARRA Ranges ratepayers will be soon asked to comment on an amendment to the shire’s Planning Scheme, which is designed to streamline the scheme’s use.

In what some councillors believe are the most important changes to the scheme in more than a decade, residents are being encouraged to provide feedback on Amendment C148.

Key changes to the scheme include a deletion of eight local planning policies, which will become redundant in the face of new policy guidelines.

Also, the amendment will include a revised Municipal Strategic Statement which, council believes, will provide clearer strategic direction.

At the 14 July meeting, there was some division among councillors regarding the timing of the release of the amendment to consultation stage.

Councillors Noel Cliff, Mike Clarke and Len Cox all voiced some concern, citing issues about its effect on the Regional Strategy Plan.

There were also fears the change could result in dwellings being built on lots, where not previously possible.

However, Cr Jim Child believed the timing was right.

KEY PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PLANNING SCHEME INCLUDE:

· A new Municipal Strategic Statement that provides clearer strategic direction · A new Environmental Significance Overlay that identi· · ·

fies the important biodiversity habitats and controls to protect them A new set of Significant Landscape Overlays with design guidelines for new development in Green Wedge areas The introduction of three new local planning policies for - Dwellings in Green Wedge Areas, Major Retail Developments and Environmentally Sustainable Development The deletion of redundant provisions - 9 local planning policies, 21 Significant Landscape Overlays, 2 Environmental Significance Overlays and much of the Schedule to Clause 53.01

“Now is the time we have to go to the people,” Cr Child said.

“This is a process we’ve committed to since 2012.”

Mayor Maria McCarthy supported this enthusiasm.

“These are some of the most significant changes in 15 years, and will make the scheme simpler and easier for people to find what planning controls affected them,” Cr McCarthy said.

“We want our Planning Scheme to be clearer and more transparent for our community.

“We don’t want an outdated Planning Scheme.”

The Planning Scheme essentially sets out policies for the use and development of land.

While, Amendment C148 proposes a new approach when assessing permits involving native vegetation in Green Wedge zones.

Council voted to get authorisation for the Minister for Planning to prepare the amendment and exhibit it for two months and seek community feedback.

More information on the proposed changes will soon be available at www.yarraranges. vic.gov.au or contact Strategic Planning on 1300 368 333.

Death not intended

By KATH GANNAWAY A CORONER’S inquiry into the death of 23-year-old David Sinclair three years ago at Warburton has found he died unintentionally of ‘mechanical asphyxia’, after being tackled to the ground and held by Kieren Alkemade.

Three years on from the tragic death in a vacant block of land behind the town’s La La shopping strip, State Coroner Judge Ian Gray, delivered his findings on Tuesday 14 July at Melbourne.

He said he was satisfied that David’s death was the result of actions of Kieran Alkemade on 2 June 2012.

It was also clear, he said, that the death was unintentional.

David’s parents Doug and Annette Sinclair were in the court to hear the outcome of what has been a devastating three-year ordeal for the family.

Judge Gray said the principal focus of the inquest, held over two hearings on 3 June and 6 November last year, was on the actions of Mr Alkemade after he pursued David, who, he said, had been seen peering into the hotel room occupied by Mr Alkemade and his then girlfriend.

He made the point that coroners are not empowered to determine civil or criminal liability.

During the hearings, and in coming to a finding, Judge Gray had access to extensive evidence including the Coroner’s Investigator’s Brief of Evidence, and the statements, reports and testimony of numerous witnesses.

David Sinclair's death in 2012 devastated family and friends. 121822 The key questions, he said, were around whether or not Mr Alkemade used excessive force in bringing David to the ground and restraining him, and whether he should have relaxed his hold on him earlier.

“It is clear, as a matter of causation, that the actions of Mr Alkemade caused the death of David,” Judge Gray said.

“There is no other contributing

medical cause of death, other than mechanical asphyxiation.

“It is also clear that Mr Alkemade did not intend to cause David’s death.”

He said a secondary question was in relation to whether police acted appropriately in not attempting to resuscitate David.

He found that Yarra Junction police officers, Leading Senior

Constable Kevin Hall and Senior Constable Arin Eker, were “highlyexperienced” and that the observations on which they based their decision not to attempt resuscitation were a credible basis for that decision.

David’s parents, who have consistently called for justice for their son, spoke briefly with the Mail on Tuesday.

Annette Sinclair said they knew now it was too late by the time police arrived for David to be resuscitated.

“We don’t blame the local police for David’s death - they weren’t the ones who held him down until he couldn’t breathe,” Mrs Sinclair said.

She said the family did not accept that it was proven that it was David, who had an intellectual disability, who was looking through the window.

“Even if that were the case,” she said, “He didn’t deserve to die for it.”

Asked whether they believed justice had been achieved with the findings, Mrs Sinclair hesitated.

“Only time will tell,” she said.

Judge Gray made no recommendations, but commented that the inquest had revealed there is little understanding (by the general public) of positional asphyxia.

“The speed with which a person can succumb to this cause of death when restrained in a prone position and unable to inflate their lungs is something that should be better understood,” he said.

Caravan boost to tourism around, now we’ve got the (Warburton Rail) trail there,” Cr Cliff said.

“Warburton needs tourists and facilities.

“We’ll get good spin-off, it’s a good sale, the community gets a benefit through tourism and employment.”

Meanwhile, Councillor Jim Child declared a conflict of interest and was not present for the vote.

Upper Yarra Community Enterprise, which operates as the Warburton Community Bank (Bendigo), had also put in an offer that would have kept the park in community ownership.

But having considered all submissions, and being of the opinion the site is no longer required, council voted to sell the asset.

The shire will also lease the ad-

By PETER DOUGLAS YARRA Ranges council has paved the way for the development of a Big 4 branded caravan park in Warburton.

At its 14 July meeting, council essentially signed off on the sale of the town’s caravan park to a small consortium from Inverloch, which will develop what will be a former council-owned asset.

Since the 1950s, the site at 30 Woods Point Road has been operated as a caravan park, having been originally established by the Warburton Progress Association.

But many councillors believe the move will be a boon for the Warburton economy.

Cr Noel Cliff was particularly high in praise of the decision.

“A Big 4 (banner) would turn it

jacent Crown river front land for a term of 21 years.

The sale includes a section 173 agreement to ensure the land continues to operate as a caravan/ camping park and to protect the occupancy of all existing residents of the park for two years.

The consortium comprises Ray, Simon and Adrian Edwards, and David Pratt, who operate an awardwinning caravan park at Inverloch.

Ray Edwards said it was a great result.

“We are delighted with council’s decision,” he said.

“Warburton is undervalued in its tourism potential and we know we can make a difference.

“We are keen to work with the tourism and community groups in the town.

IGHT IIG GHT

“We’re keen to get started and do it better for the benefit of the whole community.”

The consortium is planning significant improvements to the park, including a new amenities block, which would abolish the coin-operated showers.

Also, the park will have a focus on cycle-based tourism.

There will be no change to public pedestrian access along the riverfront land or Bicentennial Trail with the sale.

Conditions within the Crown lease will ensure the community retains a right of access across the land into the foreseeable future.

The recreation land next to the caravan park (the site of the tennis courts and old swimming pool) is not part of the sale, and will remain as council-owned land.

Briefly Hunt on for tree arsonist POLICE are hunting an arsonist who tried to burn down a tree in Warburton in broad daylight over the weekend, and have released a description of the alleged culprit.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Senior Constable Ian Brown said at 4pm on Sunday 19 July a man was spotted trying to light a fire under a large pine tree on Damons Road in Warburton.

“They collected a heap of sticks and bark and put it at the base of a large pine tree, and set it alight,” Det Sen Const Brown said.

He said flames from the fire reached about eight metres in the air, and that a couple passing through saw the male and spoke to him at the time.

“They spoke to him, and he said the tree was ‘not indigenous’ and a ‘pest’,” Det Sen Const Brown said.

The CFA was contacted at the time, and were able to save the tree, which has been scarred by the fire.

The man was described as aged between 3040 years of age, Australian, with light hair sticking out underneath a black beanie, with a scabby or acne-scarred face and was about six feet tall.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2300.

Alarm deters would-be burglar AN ALARM may have deterred a would-be burglar from robbing a Wandin North property last week, and police are on the hunt for the culprit.

Between 3am and 3.55am on Tuesday 14 July, a window was smashed at a business property on Union Road in Wandin North.

The smashed window activated an alarm at the Yarra Valley Auctions property.

Police are searching for the window-smasher, and have asked anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Man stabs himself POLICE have updated the status of a man believed to have been stabbed in Lilydale last week, and have said his wounds were found to be selfinflicted.

Yarra Ranges CIU Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said that at 2.30pm on Tuesday 14 July, motorists reported that a man was in Alexandra Road in Lilydale with reported stab wounds.

Det Sgt Smithwick said the man was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries.

He said police have since established the wound was a self-inflicted injury.

Anyone who may be distressed about this report, is having thoughts about self-harm or knows anyone who is can contact Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14.

Boat and trailer stolen KNOW anyone who suddenly has an unexplained new boat?

Police are appealing for help from the public after a boat and trailer were stolen from Britannia Way, Lilydale, last week.

Sometime between Tuesday 14 and Thursday 16 July, unknown persons stole a Quintrex Busta aluminium open-cab boat and its trailer from the Britannia Way property.

The boat is valued at about $9000, and anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

All for beyondblue

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS SENIOR football teams Belgrave and Healesville clashed for a good cause this weekend with funds raised by the match being donated to beyondblue.

The Belgrave senior team wore a specially designed beyondblue jumper on the day instead of their usual jumpers.

Despite the charity match being won by Healesville, Belgrave Football and Netball Club (BFNC) committee member John Schill said the day was a great success. “This was the inaugural beyondblue cup, and took 12 months of planning,� Mr Schill said. “It was a very successful day, and we had a lot of great support from great people in and outside of the club.�

Deputy Premier James Merlino, Yarra Ranges Mayor Maria McCarthy former St Kilda player Steven Milne and former Richmond Tigers star Francis Bourke were in attendance. “We had a great turnout and a great lunch function,� Mr Schill said. “Francis did a fantastic job speaking on the day, and Steven Milne did a brilliant job hosting the event.�

Money raised through ticket sales to the lunch, items sold at an auction and raffles held throughout the day will all be donated to beyondblue.

There was also money raised by kids from the footy clubs collecting donations around the ground, and BFNC had players raising money on the main street of Belgrave as well. “Bendigo Bank was heavily involved in the fund-raising and (staff) were wearing the beyondblue footy jumper all week,� Mr Schill said. “It was a very community-minded activity.�

Natalie Carden fund-raising partnerships co-ordinator at beyondblue speaks to the football Pictures: GREG CARRICK crowd. 141977 Following the game, the beyondblue cup was presented to the Healesville Football Club and their names will be engraved on a plaque that stays at the BFNC. Mr Schill hopes this event will become a yearly occurrence, depending on the interest of other football teams in the league. “Belgrave Senior Football and Netball Club decided on their own to put on this event,� he said. “We know some other leagues do it, but we did it on a big scale and heavily publicised it and hopefully we can make it an ongoing event.�

Jake Cameron (Belgrave) and Michael Anson (Healesville) going for a mark. 141977

Healesville Guardian 20 July 1935 In Case You Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Know IT is apparent that the Healesville Tourist and Progress Association is rendering signal service to the community by its continued efforts to have Donna Buang Road constructed on the Healesville side.

The diversion of much of the snow traffic through Healesville, which must result if the road is constructed on the Healesville side must have untold benefits to the town.

The Tourist and Progress Association is well living up to its axiom of progress.

Amid The Snow MISSES H. Tullo and B. Lawrence of Healesville are at present enjoying a holiday at the Chalet, Mt Buffalo. Both are members of the ladies troupe associated with the Healesville Horsemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club.

As riding is a keen sport at Mt Buffalo, they can be relied upon to uphold the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high standard of horsemanship.

Killed by a Tree ON Thursday, Mr Kelly of Badger Creek called at the nearby home of Mr J. Fisher and found him absent. Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suspicions were aroused as he had not seen Fisher for some days. He commenced a search in the bush and was horrified to find the dead body of Fisher lying pinned beneath a tree.

It was evident that Fisher had accidently felled the tree onto himself. The deceased was 65 years of age and a returned soldier.

Warburton Mail 23 July 1965 Extensive Fire Damage at Signs A FIRE which raged for nearly an hour on Saturday caused damage running into thousands of pounds to part of the Signs Publishing Company, Warburton. The fire was spotted by Jack Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor and his son Cliff from their home in Blackwood Avenue about 10.15pm.

The fire completely destroyed the silk screening department of the publishing company, burning racks and posters, expensive artwork and materials and exploding tins of chemicals and paint.

Cliff Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor took a fire hose from the hall approaching the silk screen department and placed it on the blaze until Warburton and Yarra Junction Rural and Urban Fire Brigades alerted

by Warren Borgis arrived at the scene.

It is the first fire at the building for at least 30 years. When extinguished, the fire had gutted the silk screen department and almost into the adjoining department.

Bridge Will Open Next Week THE new CRB constructed bridge on Warburton Highway over the Little Yarra River will open to traffic next week- probably on Wednesday.

The bridge is 28 feet wide and 102 feet long and has been built so as to remove a dangerous corner from the highway.

The work of clearing for the construction of the bridge began about a month ago. The estimated cost of building the structure and of diverting the little Yarra River was about ÂŁ 8000.

Goodwin Shield to Wesburn WESBURN Boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club earned the honour of holding the Des Goodwin Shield for the next 12 months with a comfortable six-goal victory over Upper Yarra Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Under 16s on Saturday.

Best players for Wesburn were- Robert Cluning, T. Tuchin and Peter Miller. And for Upper YarraRoberts Chambers, Greg Boyd and Robert Adams.

The dance held at the Yarra Junction Hall on Saturday evening as a follow up to the football match was a great success.

No vote, and I’d vote no: Smith

By JESSE GRAHAM CASEY MP Tony Smith has ruled out surveying the electorate on same-sex marriage, following the announcement of a survey in neighbouring electorate, La Trobe.

Earlier this month, the office of La Trobe MP Jason Wood announced it would be sending out a survey from 20-25 July to households, asking voters to give their opinion on amending the Marriage Act 2004 to allow same-sex marriage.

Enrolled voters will be able to reply to the survey either by calling his office, scanning a QR code to respond online or through a reply paid envelope supplied with the survey.

The Mail reported last week that, while Mr Wood supports a conscience vote on the issue, his personal position on the matter is undeclared.

He said, as many from his electorate were contacting him on the issue, he would use the survey to form his position.

The Mail contacted Mr Smith to ask whether he would consider an electorate-wide survey, and what his position was on the matter.

“I don’t have any plans to (run a survey), and I wouldn’t on just one topic” he said.

“In a sense, I’m constantly surveying my electorate, in as much as people certainly let me know their views on the topics that are of concern to them – either by sending me an email on

my website ... or by sending me an email directly, or by phoning, or coming along to one of my mobile offices.”

Mr Smith said he does not support changing the Marriage Act in this term of Parliament – a sentiment he said he expressed to constituents in a candidates’ forum and individually prior to the 2013 Federal Election.

“As a Member of Parliament, I was asked at the last election ... whether I would support a change to the Marriage Act in this term of Parliament,” he said.

“I said I wouldn’t.

“That’s obviously the position of my party and it remains my position and it’s the position of my party.”

He said he would “consider” supporting a conscience vote on the issue, but that “it would depend on the circumstances of the time”.

“I’d consider it within the party room with my colleagues,” Mr Smith said.

He said the issue of samesex marriage was a divisive one in the community, and urged residents to discuss the matter respectfully.

“On this issue, it’s important that people respect each other’s differing views and people of goodwill can have very different views on the subject,” he said.

“I, as a Federal Member of Parliament, try to be respectful of all views.

“I try not to be a commentator.”

A poll commissioned by Australian Marriage Equality and conducted by social research and political polling firm, Crosby-Textor in June 2014, indicated strong support for legalising same-sex marriage across Australia.

The question “Based on what you know at this point in time, would you support or oppose allowing same-sex couples to marry in Australia?” was posed to 1000 respondents.

According to the poll, 72 per cent of the respondents supported legalising same-sex marriage, including about 48 per cent showing ‘strong support’ – only 21 per cent indicated they opposed legalising samesex marriage, with 14 per cent strongly opposed.

What are your thoughts on the issue? The Mail has opened an online poll on same-sex marriage, which will run until 21 August.

The poll asks “Based on what you know at this point in time, would you support or oppose allowing same-sex couples to marry in Australia?” and can be found at www. surveymonkey.com/r/ DPYD9JM. Alternatively, send a letter to the editor at editor@ mailnewsgroup.com.au.

‘Fantastic’ new forestry

By KATH GANNAWAY “YOUR new digs are going to be fantastic,” Minister for Regional Development, Jaala Pulford told VicForests staff following a tour of the new Woori Yallock regional headquarters on Wednesday.

Ms Pulford officially opened the building, which will see 30 jobs relocate from VicForests’ Healesville and Melbourne offices.

Built originally as Melbourne Water’s regional headquarters, it is located close to the town centre on Symes Road and co-locates on the site with other government instrumentalities, Parks Victoria, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and the CFA. The new office will integrate corporate and regional roles covering field-based work such as forest planning, surveying, harvesting, road and regeneration tasks, as well as sales, stakeholder engagement, finance and management.

The opening was attended

by VicForests’ CEO, Robert Green and chairman, Gordon Davis, Yarra Ranges Council CEO, Glenn Patterson and O’Shannassy Ward representative, Cr Jim Child and staff from Melbourne and Healesville.

“VicForests’ new regional headquarters will boost local economic growth and give the Yarra Valley community certainty,” Ms Pulford said.

“We support a strong and viable timber industry,” she added, saying the government would continue to collaborate with the timber industry to address issues with a view to driv-

She said the timber industry played an important role, providing 21,000 jobs across the state including in country towns in rural and regional Victoria.

“Without the timber industry, these jobs would just not exist,” she said.

“I hope you have a great time here,” she said to the staff who will move into the building by the end of the month.

“I am heartened that you have a long-term lease.

“What that tells us is that you have long-term plans and a long-term future.”

VicForests CEO, Robert Green, and Cr Child also noted the benefits to the local community through the move.

“This is a good outcome for Woori Yallock and will see the town benefit from additional economic activity,” Mr Green said.

He said the move allowed VicForests to base themselves long-term in the Yarra Valley

and remain part of its community.

“We look forward to continuing to have a presence in the region and contributing to the local economy.”

Cr Child said the facility would bring 30 jobs into the town.

“The benefit to local businesses is going to be fantastic,” he said.

“It’s a great outcome for Woori Yallock and, of course, for Yarra Ranges.”

He said it was also good to hear Minister Pulford’s encouraging words about the role of the timber industry and the points she made in regards to it being a viable, sustainable industry and VicForests’ ongoing commitment to that end.

Staff members from as near and far as Healesville, Hawthorn, Officer and Croydon rated more room, windows and the modern, open-plan office as among the benefits they are looking forward to with their “new digs”.

Letters I REPLY to Steve Meacher’s letter (Mail Opinion, 16 June) in which he criticises Geoff Biggs about his role as a member of the Central Highlands Forest Management Plan.

As the chairman of that committee, I can assure Steve Meacher that Geoff Biggs, like most members, put in many hours of travel in trying to reach a consensus among all users of the forest including the welfare of the wildlife.

Unfortunately the only member of that committee who dragged their feet over the years was your Greens leader in Victoria at the time, Greg Barber, who I recall only attended one meeting.

So much for his concern for Leadbeater's Possum and the forest which is being used as a ploy to destroy the timber industry!

Perhaps Steve and his followers are quite happy to import our timber needs from countries which have very little logging regulation.

We import $4.2 billion of timber each year into Australia from these countries.

These same countries have little regard for wildlife and the indigenous tribes who reside in the forests. Steve and his latte set and basket weavers would have my full, active support if they were to protest outside their various embassies in Australia.

As for the Leadbeater's Possum readers, you should note they were first recorded in 1867 then by 1909 it was thought to have been made extinct by the many bushfires.

However, in 1961 the Leadbeater’s Possum again was noted as being present in colonies in the Marysville-Lake Mountain area.

As for their habitat, the Leadbeater’s Possum can roam and engage in copulation over 200,000 hectares of Mountain Ash in the Central Highlands Area, reaching from Neerim South

to Alexandra in the north to Eildon and Mt Baw Baw to the east, Toolangi to the west - a large area of this land is in water catchment areas.

The greatest threat to the possum and other native wildlife is bushfires, feral cats and foxes, not the timber industry which has never been found responsible for the extinction of any wildlife!

Readers should compare the energy consumption to produce a square metre of the various building products; timber is 750 megajoules compared to the following materials; concretebrick 4800, steel 260,000.

Timber grown by acts of nature is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly product on the market.

I am impressed by the efforts of VicForests to protect wildlife and water courses in our forests.

Anyone interested can contact the Healesville office for relevant reading material.

The big question is, what happens to horse riders, motorbike riders, four-wheel-drive tourists, responsible dog walkers, bushwalkers, if it were to become a National Park?

I do regret the ceasing of Central Highland Management Committee which I believe provided an avenue for the general public to raise issues concerning their forest.

Ray Donkin, Healesville.

Little Detroit?

A FULL-PAGE notice (Mail, 23 June) called for residents to ‘Celebrate Christmas in July’ at the Yarra Glen Shopping Centre.

Who is celebrating what and how do residents participate?

Will there be any tinsel on the verandah,

or recycled train decorations, from December 2014 (that failed to appear at the ‘high performing’ shopping centre during the festive season).

Did the 2008 supermarket development bring more economic prosperity and more jobs for local residents or has the location, architecture and incomplete fit-outs brought division to the Yarra Glen retail district?

Some factual, intelligent business reporting by the newspaper would be appreciated.

There is chatter among the teacups about a proposed 30-unit holiday apartment block (or motel) with four more shops – and grumbling from the Yarra Glen Op-Shop about ‘missing out’ on a nearby larger premises.

There are too many empty shops and ‘business for sale’ signs in Bell Street and on the internet.

Broken glass, scattered woodchips, rusty information poles, graffiti toilets and corrugated iron blocking the supermarket entrance have turned Yarra Glen into Little Detroit.

Can the Yarra Glen Chamber of Commerce nominate a happy, prosperous local trader who is genuinely celebrating something this July 2015?

Noel Buchanan, Yarra Glen.

Apples to oranges LYN Kennedy compares apples to oranges in her shameless quest to make us feel guilty for establishing sensible immigration policies.

In Anna Martin’s internet article, she obfuscates and omits vital information concerning Europe’s immigration problems, and particularly Italy’s role.

Italy was forced to alter its refugee policies

because of EU directives and a European Court decision.

Also, Italy is mostly used as a gateway where those seeking illegal entry swiftly escape that failing country for more lucrative benefits elsewhere.

But Ms Martin’s most egregious omission is her failure to relate the horrors Europe’s open door, ‘aka’ ‘multicultural’ policies, have wreaked on its countries.

Multiculturalism was a plan devised in the early 1900s by communists at the Frankfurt School with the intent to destroy Western civilisation by stripping its population of its culture, religion, morals, sense of who they are as a nation and eradicate democratic processes.

Today, legitimate, elected governments cede the people’s power to bureaucracies.

Even in our shire, the unelected CEOs and officers determine policy and law while sucking us dry with their outrageous salaries, perks and pensions to the tune of $5.4 million per annum.

The greatest loss of the people’s right to determine their own lives came with the creation of the United Nations where the multicultural ideology was revived and instituted in its Brundtland Report, ‘aka’ “Our Common Future”.

Across Europe, immigrants have set up nogo zones where the native populations dare not enter.

In June, a German school issued letters to parents stating that their daughters must dress modestly because “the sight of too much skin” was offending Syrian refugees.

Chancellor Angela Merkel declared, “Multiculturalism has utterly failed”.

So does unsustainable mass immigration.

Crew joins Canadian wildfire fight

By KATH GANNAWAY FIVE Yarra Ranges firefighters have flown to Canada to help manage wildfires that are sweeping the country.

Hundreds of fires totalling around 1.3 million hectares are burning across Canada’s western provinces.

The group are Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Operations Officer John Carter and Yarra District Fire Management Officer John Van de Paverd, and CFA District 13 volunteers Fiona Burns (Captain of Hillcrest), Sharon Merritt (Captain of Macclesfield) and Warren Fuller, a firefighter with Emerald brigade.

Australia’s 102-strong contingent - 45 from Victoria - includes specialists in incident management, aircraft management, fire-line leadership and firefighters.

Mr Carter, based at DEWLP in Woori Yallock, will help co-ordinate air operations, while Mr Van de Paverd, based at Powelltown, will support

Canadian ground operations as a Divisional Commander.

Ms Burns is heading over as a Planning Officer, Ms Merritt as a Safety Officer and Mr Fuller as an Aircraft Officer. All three are volunteers, as well as CFA District 13 employees.

Mr Carter’s role as Air Attack Supervisor will include co-ordinating helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for fire-bombing operations.

“Canada and Australia work under similar structures to combat fires, even though our vegetation is different,” he said, before heading off on Monday 13 July.

“Where we have eucalypt forests they have conifer forests with cedars and pines,” he said.

Both Mr Carter and Mr Van de Paverd were involved in the Black Saturday bushfires, as well as all other major fire events over the past 20 years and between them have been deployed to fires around Australia and to Canada.

“Having worked with the Canadians in the Australian bushfire seasons

Upper Yarra DELWP Fire Manager Officer John Van de Paverd in Canada last year. of ’02-’03, ’06-07’ and ’09 (Black Saturday fires), the joint experience stands us in good stead,” Mr Carter said.

Bakery’s dough to fight brain cancer

By JESSE GRAHAM A HEALESVILLE bakery has raised hundreds of dollars for brain cancer research in a four-day fund-raiser earlier this month, after tragic news close to home.

Healesville’s Wild Grains Bakehouse ran a fund-raiser for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, from Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 July.

Lapel ribbons were on sale at the business for a donation, with all profits going to the foundation, and $1 from every coffee and $2 from speciallymade cake pops were also donated.

All-up, the bakery raised $1552, according to Wild Grains’ Julie-Anne Demanuele.

Ms Demanuele and her colleague, Brittany Anson, told the Mail the fundraiser was organised after the tragic news that their co-worker’s husband, who is living with the disease, had just weeks left to live.

The bakery was aiming to raise at least $1000 for the foundation as a show of support, and easily passed that goal.

“We were pleased with that,” Ms Demanuele said.

“We really didn’t have any idea what kind of response we’d have - we were hoping for $250 a day, and we went over that, so it’s great.”

She said the fund-raiser was wellsupported by the community, and that visitors gave positive feedback on the event - including some Mail readers, who came in after reading about the fund-raiser online.

“We had a busy day on Thursday and Friday - Saturday and Sunday, in

“Keeping that in mind, it was still a good outcome.”

She said the staff were sporting beanies - one of the more public symbols for brain cancer awareness through the fund-raiser.

Wearing a beanie for brain cancer awareness was made famous earlier this year, when The Project presenter,

Carrie Bickmore, wore a beanie at her Gold Logie acceptance speech for her late husband, Greg, who died of the disease.

According to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, the disease has a very high mortality rate; roughly two in 10 people diagnosed survive for more than five years.

To donate to the fund-raiser visit Wild Grains Bakehouse at 201a Maroondah Highway, Healesville, or www.curebraincancer.org.au.

He said the fact that District 13 had been asked to supply personnel recognised the local capability.

Emergency Management Victoria is co-ordinating the Australian deployment.

A THREATENED Species Summit held last week has kicked off ‘emergency intervention’ plans for the critically-endangered Leadbeater’s Possum, with community groups to be consulted on its survival.

On Thursday, 16 July, scientists, environmentalists, government representatives and Zoos Victoria members gathered at Melbourne Zoo for the first Threatened Species Summit, chaired by Federal Environment Minister, Greg Hunt.

The event was dedicated to discussing actions to “turn around the trajectory” for endangered mammals and birds, some of which face extinction in the coming years, according to Threatened Species Commissioner, Gregory Andrews.

Speaking to the Mail on Friday, 17 July, Mr Andrews said the Leadbeater’s Possum, which is located in the Central Highlands region and in Yellingbo, was one of the animals listed at the meeting for emergency intervention.

A Threatened Species Strategy - an action plan outlining targets to protect 20 mammals, 20 birds and 30 plants on the threatened species list - was launched at the summit.

A separate document on emergency interventions lists a project by Zoos Victoria to create new habitat for the possum, and for the National Environmental Science Program Threatened Species Recovery Hub to explore “options to recover the species.”

Mr Andrews said the first step in the intervention for the possum

would be drafting a report for Mr Hunt, which would then inform the updating of the animal’s recovery plan, last updated in 1997.

“He said he would ask me to have a report to him by 31 August,” Mr Andrews said.

“It’s not the draft recovery plan itself, it’s a report to him on what needs to be done.

“That involves working in part with the Victorian Government and the Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum and the scientists, and I’ll be drawing heavily on the advice of Professor David Lindenmayer.”

He said that he would “get to work” on the report on Monday, 20 July.

MyEnvironment members Steve Meacher and Sarah Rees, who both attended the summit, said the event was an “excellent initiative.”

“It’s been an excellent initiative

by Minister Hunt,” Ms Rees said.

“We all feel it’s a good direction, and we’re looking to support him in every way we can, to ensure the best possible out come for our threatened species, especially the Leadbeater’s Possum.

“We fully support (Threatened Species Commissioner) Gregory Andrews in this - they’ve done a good job.”

The Threatened Species Summit was announced by Minister Hunt on 23 April, the day after the Leadbeater’s Possum’s up-listing, at Healesville Sanctuary.

Concert for relief efforts

By JESSE GRAHAM

Making plans for a great community celebration are, from left: volunteer Keira Cowell, president Ciska van Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Spankeren and co-ordinator Vicki Harrison. 141896

Open house for 30th birthday

By KATH GANNAWAY SEVILLE Community House’s 30th birthday celebrations will be a time to catch up with old friends and celebrate the many achievements of the house.

Between 10am and 2pm on Saturday 8 August, they will open for activities including yoga and pilates taster classes, art, face painting, story time, the Lego club and craft activities for littlies, a handball competition, kids’ performer and the local CFA will have their truck and smoke tent on site.

The committee and volunteers will have a delicious morning tea available, and the neighbouring Seville Primary School will be sizzling sausages on the day.

Expect also some candles and a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’.

The house has been a community hub since it’s beginnings, and has managed to retain the friendly, nurturing atmosphere which has been its guiding ethos.

“We try to include activities on the program that are no cost or gold coin donation,” co-ordinator Vicki Harrison said.

“It’s all about getting people out and about and meeting other people in their community.”

Vicki took over about a year ago following the sudden resignation of Mandi Goosens due to ill-health. Sadly, Mandi, who had been co-ordinator for 13 years, passed away earlier this year.

President Ciska van Spankeren said Mandi would be part of the history of the house that will be remembered on the day.

Her late husband Henk was another

‘pioneer’, who served as president for many years as well.

Ciska said the model which was about accessibility and meeting the needs of the community, had worked very well.

“It is very much about people meeting each other,” she said.

“There is a caring atmosphere here, people are respected, they pick up skills and meet other people.

“It’s people teaching each other and I think that is a very important thing in a community house.”

The community house team is hoping that anyone who has been involved over the years, and people in the community who may not have had the pleasure, join them at 8 Railway Road, Seville, on 8 August.

For more information phone Vicki on 5964 3987.

A CONCERT to mark the 40 Hour Famine will be held in Healesville next month, with World Vision artists taking the stage to raise money for overseas relief efforts.

The 40 Hour Famine Concert will start at 7.30pm on Saturday, 15 August, at Healesville’s Memorial Hall, featuring World Vision Australia artists, Levi McGrath, Carter and Carter and World Vision CEO Tim Costello.

Healesville’s Liberty Family Church is putting on the concert, and community associate, Joel Hawting said the concert was about raising awareness of the conditions people endured in less fortunate countries.

“We wanted to raise awareness of the reality of the world around us and to help kids see that there are kids overseas who are facing much bigger challenges than we are - sometimes, even having enough food to survive to see another day,” he said.

In the lead-up to the concert, the artists will be visiting local primary schools to run concerts and songwriting workshops, to discuss the ideas of justice with students.

Mr Hawting said the artists would also talk to students about their understanding of justice, from having visited countries such as Africa.

He said that last year’s concert, which was held at the church building on Old Lilydale Road, raised $9000 for the charity - this year, they’re aiming to break the $10,000 mark.

“Last year, we did a similar con-

cert here at our church - this year, we wanted to increase the opportunity for people to engage with the 40 Hour Famine, hence the concert at the Memo,” he said.

“I guess our heart as a church in doing this is to get the whole town of Healesville behind a cause greater than ourselves - we are wanting to see the community grow together around causes of justice, get behind this great cause, and make a real difference in the world.”

Though people traditionally give up food for 40 hours as part of the yearly event, Mr Hawting said that people could raise money by temporarily giving up anything important - whether it was their phone, Facebook or even seating.

“When we give up things and when we make sacrifices, it helps us to get into a position to better understand the injustices we see in the world around us - it helps us to relate to issues of human rights and justice so much better,” he said.

This year marks the 40th year of the World Vision 40 Hour Famine.

The concert will be held on Saturday, 15 August, from 7.30pm, at Healesville’s Memorial Hall.

Tickets are $30, or $60 for a VIP ticket, which gives ticketholders the opportunity to meet the artists and World Vision CEO, Tim Costello - as well as a Justice More Than a Word CD. All proceeds from the show will go to the 40 Hour Famine.

ON July 24, Croydon Cinemas begins its Cult Classic Movies program with a special latenight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

For the past 40 years, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (and its associated stage production) has enjoyed a devoted international following from fun-loving weirdos who like dressing up at screenings and dancing along to the musical numbers.

And I hate it.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is shrill, obnoxious and over-long, and the musical numbers often have little to do with the flimsy plot (though the Time Warp is fantastic). When it’s not ludicrous, it’s uncomfortable, and any

shred of cohesion flies out the window in the climax.

The film is a glitzy anthem to decadence and sexual liberation (which is fine), but the protagonist, Transylvanian transvestite Dr. Frank N. Furter - played by the entrancingly over-the-top Tim Curry - is a violent sexual predator (initiating sex through deception is rape) who is randy for (technically) his own son. Why haven’t more people noticed all this?

Call me a humourless fuddy-duddy all you want, but I found The Rocky Horror Picture Show to be off-putting and extremely annoying.

But if you get a kick out of its boundless musical energy and ridiculousness (and the audience participation, which goes hand-in-hand with this movie), who am I to stand in your way?

EVER since the mid-1860s, Wandin has always been a busy township with a timber mill, general store, service station, blacksmith and old railway station.

With easy access off Warburton Highway, there are still plenty of reasons to stop off at Wandin township.

Whether you are a local or just passing through, be sure to drop in and take advantage of a great collection of shops all in the one spot.

This town is also connected to the Lilydale to Warburton Trail.

So, for all of those bike enthusiasts, make Wandin your stopping point.

The vibrant little town is now home to a deli, cafes, bakery, takeaway foods, hairdressers, beauty salon, nail salon, a grocery store, fruit shop, florist and giftware, travel agency, op shop, quilting and sewing store, real estate, vet, pharmacy, dental clinic, newsagency, glass retailers, doctors; football, cricket and netball facilities; an Italian restaurant, service stations, mechanics, park and more.

An opportunity for new traders has recently become available, with a couple of shops that are available for rent within the shopping township.

A butcher, jewellery store, day spa, clothing or antiques would be great additions to complement an already thriving town.

In exciting news for the township, it was recently announced that Wandin Shopping Centre will be going through a transition over the next 12 months, with Yarra Ranges Council providing funds to amend the streetscape and park facilities accompanied with artwork on various walls around the shopping complex.

After 10 years of operating from an office at 232 Maroondah Highway, First National Real Estate has relocated to the much larger premises directly across the Highway.

Now located at 189 Maroondah Highway, the premises which were formerly Max Brown Real Estate’s office, became available when Brett & Tammy decided to pursue their travel plans.

Having recently expanded their business Mark & Ivana decided it was a great opportunity and made sense to relocate to the new premises which can now comfortably accommodate the increasing staff numbers required to handle the ever increasing buyer & rental demand.

The new premises will also benefit all clients with 3 meeting rooms, ideal for private meetings where personal, important discussions may need to take place.

Salespeople Gary Lucas, Jordan Donaldson and property manager Jayde Edwards have also transferred to First National to continue to offer the highest level of service.

With the larger team, along with the new premises, First National Real Estate Mark Gunther are well equipped to handle any of your property requirements, be it rental, sales or just to offer friendly no obligation advice on any real estate matters.

Drink-drug penalties up

By JESSE GRAHAM FROM the start of August, drivers caught under the influence of both drugs and alcohol can face severe penalties, after the government recently announced new double-offences.

On Sunday 12 July, Acting Minister for Roads and Road Safety Natalie Hutchins announced two new offences for drink-drug drivers, which will come into effect on Saturday 1 August.

The first offence will be for drivers caught being “in charge of a motor vehicle” with an illegal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level and the presence of an illicit drug.

The second will cover providing a blood sample within three hours of driving, which contains an illegal BAC level and illicit drugs - meaning drivers can be caught after driving.

Drivers caught under the new laws will have a minimum 12 month licence cancellation, and face a maximum court fine of $4550, as well as impoundment if their BAC is 0.10 (twice the legal limit) or higher.

For those who are repeatedly caught flouting the law, fines will rise sharply to between $13,650 and $40,959, depending on the blood alcohol content (BAC) and previous offences - 18 month’s imprisonment is also on the table, depending on the number of offences.

Repeat offenders will also have a minimum two-year licence cancellation, and can have their car immediately impounded or immobilised by police for 30 days, plus extra time that may be applied by the courts.

There is currently no offence for drivers caught with both alcohol and drugs in their system - people can only be charged with drink-driving or drugdriving, but not both.

The new law fills in that loop-hole, and Ms Hutchins said drivers with both drugs and alcohol in their systems were 23 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash, compared to sober drivers.

“We are fed up with people who mix alcohol and illicit drugs and the risks they pose to Victorian families on our roads,” she said.

“The Andrews Labor Government is cracking down on idiotic drink and drug drivers to make our roads safer and to help reduce road trauma.”

Drivers can face a double offence for driving with drugs and alcohol in their systems from 1 August. 111824 The new double-offence carries at least 50 per cent higher penalties than individual drink-driving or drugdriving offences - this, according to Ms Hutchins, reflects the danger of combining the two substances and getting behind the wheel.

To add to the mountain of penalties against drivers charged under the new laws, any driver or motorcyclist whose

licence or learner permit is cancelled due to the new offence must install an alcohol interlock in any vehicle they drive as a condition for getting their licence back.

Interlocks must be installed for a minimum of six months for first-time offenders, and up to four years for repeat offenders - and a three-year zero BAC licence condition.

The interlocks are also managed through the courts, and so Alcohol Interlock Condition Removal Orders must be applied for through the Magistrates’ Court.

The announcement of the new law follows the government allocating $15 million in this year’s State Budget for 10 new drug and booze buses.

The government said the larger fleet

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM would allow 100,000 people to be tested each year for drugs, and will keep dangerous drivers off of the road.

The Mail repeatedly attempted to contact the Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol for comment on the new laws, but received no response by deadline.

For more information on the new offence, visit www.vicroads.vic.gov.au from 1 August.

A man of many lives OBITUARY

Always wanted to work in Aged Care, Disability or Home & Community Care?

Picture: CONTRIBUTED

ATHOL Egeberg lived numerous lifetimes in his 89 years - as a teacher, plumber, coppersmith, councillor and RSL president.

Many would be lucky to do half of what he had done in their time.

Born on 24 January 1926 to Clarrie and Alice Egeberg in Preston, with sister Clarice and brother Eric, Athol grew up in Melbourne’s inner north.

Though he moved to Healesville later in his life, the north stayed with Athol through his life, through his unrelenting support of following the Collingwood football team.

He attended Collingwood Tech trade school, while training to be a plumber and gasfitter and enlisted in the armed forces after finishing his apprenticeship at Carlton United Brewery.

Athol met Marj Fields, his first wife, at a dance in Preston in the mid-1940s - the pair married in 1947 and became parents to Athol’s first-born daughter, Sandra.

However, the marriage did not last, and the pair divorced.

Re-marrying in 1959 to Hazel Newey, Athol again became a parent to Karen and Karl - but the marriage, again, was not to last.

In the mid-1970s, Athol met Jean, and they married at

their home at Juel Crescent in Healesville in 1980, surrounded by their family and friends.

The pair became parents to Athol Junior and Kurl, and Athol took up the role of father to David, Jean’s son, and adopted his grandson, Rowan, in later years.

Though family was important to Athol, he had a colourful and varied history in organisations around the Yarra Valley.

To name only a few of his achievements, he was a chairman of the Healesville Sewerage Trust; commissioner of Healesville Water Trust; a member of the Upper Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges Authority; a member of the review panel for the Upper Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges Regional Strategy; a trustee of Coranderrk Cemetery; the president of Healesville’s RSL SubBranch; a councillor and president of the Shire of Healesville; and a trained secondary school teacher.

Toward the end of his life, Athol was diagnosed with dementia, and was cared for at home by his family before becoming a resident at Kirkbrae, where he passed away on Thursday, 2 April.

Athol Egeberg was farewelled by family and friends in a service at Le Pine Funeral Chapel in Healesville on Friday, 10 April.

Civil celebrant, Mark Carey, ran Athol’s service and celebration of his life, and said he asked the family how they

would describe Athol.

“Strong-willed, bad-tempered, outspoken; balanced with caring, selfless, strong, a man of integrity, communityminded and a hard-worker good, honest descriptions,” Mr Carey said.

Mr Carey said that grief and loss affected every person in different ways, and reminded those at the service to take the time to grieve, and to talk about Athol and the times they had with him.

“He is still very much part of your lives,” he said.

“You see Athol will now continue to live with you; it might be when you hear a certain piece of music; it may be when you are looking out over the hills of Healesville, a place where Athol has played a role in the community; it might be when you are watching his beloved Magpies play a game of football; or it might be when you gather on a special occasion that you know that Athol would have loved to have been at.

“And this is because the past, with all its meaning, will now remain sacred and secure with you forever.”

Healesville RSL’s commemorations officer, Bob Gannaway, led a tribute from the RSL following family tributes to Athol, to finish the service.

Athol Egeberg, who filled each one of his 89 years to the brim with experiences, was then laid to rest at Healesville Cemetery.

By JAMIE STRUDLEY ONE week out from the Little Athletics Victoria State Championships, Yarra Ranges athletes descended upon Norton’s Park for the annual Knox Open Day, hosted by the Knox Little Athletics Club.

Yarra Ranges athletes, keen to test their abilities and to try their best, turned out in great numbers to compete under a warm winter sun and to run the traditional course.

The first event of the day, the Under 7s combined race, saw Yarra Ranges pick up their first medal, with Charlotte Comport picking up the bronze in the 1000m event.

As the day progressed, Yarra Ranges athletes continued to work hard, pulling out some spectacular individual and team performances and bagging many medals for the club.

By the end of the day, Yarra Ranges had won seven individual gold medals among a magnitude of others and had also won and medalled in numerous team events. The hard work of Yarra Ranges’ junior and open age athletes secured the club’s third consecutive overall win and ensuring the perpetual

Sport

Healesville closes in THE round kicked off with the Under 12s Girls footballers playing Yarra Glen under lights at Queens Park on Friday night.

The girls worked hard to defend against a prolific-scoring Yarra Glen and generate some scoring opportunities of their own.

The Yarra Glen team proved to be too strong on the night.

It was a cold start to Sunday’s games at Wandin.

The Under 9s had another bye after the withdrawal of the Wesburn Under 9s team from the competition.

The Under 10s shared the ball well, using handballs to clear the packs and had nine different goal kickers in an even team performance.

By the time the Under 12s started, the sun was shining; there were blue skies and a firm ground.

Wandin came out with some terrific intent, their attack on the

ball and player was really impressive.

The Under 12s absorbed it all and stepped up to the challenge, putting five goals on the board by quarter time in an action-packed first term.

The second quarter was a real arm wrestle, tackling and pressure the features.

The second half opened up a bit and the Under 12s running game took hold, with every line doing their job. As each week passes, the confidence of the Under 12s in each other grows.

The Under 14s took on the top side, in Wandin.

The first quarter was high scoring with nine goals scored.

Wandin went into the break with a nine-point lead.

Wandin then stepped up their game and reduced Healesville’s scoring opportunities.

While not winners on the

scoreboard, the result showed how much the Under 14s have improved this season, having lost by 119 points last time they played.

The Under 16s was a very close affair.

The Healesville team came out of the blocks hard and took a fourpoint lead into the quarter-time break, the second quarter was a tight affair with strong defence.

Healesville increased the margin to five points going into the half time break.

Wandin came back hard in the third quarter with three goals to narrow the margin to a single point at the final break.

The final quarter was a nailbiter, with Healesville coming out winners by a single point.

Netballers rally behind cause THE beyondblue theme was a feature on the netball courts during the clash between Healesville and Belgrave over the weekend. During the beyondblue, all players gave their all, as well as helped around the club to raise funds and awareness for beyondblue. The netballers were keen to get among the many events held at Belgrave’s home ground, such as guest speakers and a corporate lunch. Both clubs believe they have a responsibility to raise awareness of this cause in the wider local community.

Beyondblue the real winner

By JUDY ORREN

change. The last quarter again saw Yarra Junction eat into Alexandra’s lead. Alexandra didn’t score in the last term while Junction added 2.4 but time wasn’t on Junction’s side as Alex was able to hold on to win come final siren.

THE highlight of this round in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football and Netball League was the beyondblue clash between Healesville and Belgrave at the Magpies’ home ground.

In front of a fantastic crowd, the game was played in the right spirit, with funds raised during the clash going towards beyondblue, which raises awareness of depression and anxiety in society.

After a wet week, it looked like the conditions for football and netball were going to be tough.

However, once the fog lifted and the Under 18s kicked the frost off the grounds, it was a beautiful day for footy and netball in the valley.

There were no excuses for skill level across the board.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Healesville 16.14(110) d Belgrave 9.6(60) Healesville has jumped to third on the ladder after a great win over Belgrave which has dropped them to 6th. Healesville’s pace was too good for Belgrave in the first half as they went to the long break with a 29-point lead. Healesville continued their good form in the third with a 4-goal-to-1 quarter and their lead was out to a match-winning 50 points. The last quarter was an even contest with both teams booting two goals, but it was certainly Healesville’s day to celebrate a great victory.

Warburton Millgrove 10.12(72) d Mount Evelyn 7.7(49)

Warby certainly look safe from relegation now as they recorded their fourth win of the season, but Mount Evelyn now sit just a percentage off the bottom and are still in real danger of that dreaded relegation. The first half of this clash saw Warburton’s use the ball a little better as they went into half-time with a 19-point advantage. The third term saw Mount Evelyn hit back as they started to win more of the critical contest and by the last change, Warburton led by just nine points. The last quarter wasn’t pretty football as there were only two goals scored but both of those goals belonged to Warburton to secure them a 23-point victory.

Olinda Ferny Creek 8.14(62) d Woori Yallock 4.9(33)

Olinda set up their victory in the first quarter of this clash. They only booted four goals but held Woori to just one point to lead by 26 points at the first change. The remainder of this clash was a real struggle for both teams to score. They only added four goals apiece with neither team scoring a goal in the last term. Even though this wasn’t a pretty contest, Olinda will certainly be happy to walk away with the four points which now puts them fourth on the ladder on the same points as Woori Yallock who are now fifth.

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Emerald 13.14(92) d Seville 7.12(54) Emerald led this game from start to finish but never really pulled away from Seville until the last quarter. Emerald booted 4.1 in the first term to lead by 13 points but Seville did have plenty of chances but was wasteful with 1.6.

The next two quarters saw an even battle and by three-quarter time Emerald led by just 16 points with the game still in the balance to a degree. The last quarter saw Emerald control the tempo of the game and Seville just couldn’t get their hands on the ball enough to be of any threat.

Emerald finished the day with a 4-goal-to-1 last quarter to win by 38 points and remain on top of the ladder while Seville now sit in 6th spot and one game out of the top 5.

Upwey Tecoma best players: N. Wale-Buxton (4 goals), B. Waters, B. Duncan

Emerald best players: M. Dompietro (1 goal), M. Dompietro, S. Paull

Monbulk 19.22(136) d Yarra Glen 10.9(69) Monbulk continue to impress, this time with a 67-point victory over Yarra Glen. The first half of this game was a little scrappy, but it was Monbulk that was just cleaner with their disposal as they got out to a 29-point lead at the long break.

Monbulk did break the game open in the third as Yarra Glen lost their run. Monbulk booted 5 goals to 1 and really should have been further up than their 57-point, three-quarter-time lead as they also booted seven points.

The last quarter was a bit of a goal spree and Yarra Glen did give it their best but Monbulk still had the edge as they booted 7 goals to 6 to record

Seville best players: D. Groen, B. Abbruzzese, J. Nolan

Woori Yallock best players: M. Lowe, J. Adams, C. Smedley

Wandin 18.19(127) d Upwey Tecoma 9.10(64) Wandin had a tough battle on their hands in the first half as Upwey was up for the challenge early and at half-time Wandin led this clash by just three points. Wandin showed why they are favourites for the flag in the third as they produced a brilliant free flowing running quarter, they slammed on 8 goals to 1 to jump out to a 57-point lead and put the result beyond doubt. The last quarter was reasonably even with Wandin booting 5 goals to 4, but it was Wandin’s dominance in the third that was the catalyst for their 63-point victory.

Mount Evelyn best players: J. Thompson (3 goals), L. Callaghan (2 goals), M. Brierley Warburton Millgrove best players: J. Lee (6 goals, M. Kocher (1 goal), M. Edwards

Powelltown 12.19(91) d Gembrook Cockatoo 6.10(46) Powelltown was too good for Gembrook in this clash but should have had the game wrapped up a lot earlier than they did. Powelltown led by four points at the first change and really should have skipped right away in the second quarter but they sprayed their kicks and booted 1.10 to just 3 points to lead by 17 points at half-time.

The third term was where Powelltown did eventually pull away as they booted 4.4 while holding Gembrook to just 1 point and by the last change Powelltown’s lead was 44 points.

The last quarter saw both teams slot through three goals but this game was always in Powelltown’s control, they now sit fourth on the ladder with Gembrook on the same points in fifth place.

Powelltown best players: G. Newing (1 goal), P. Miller, D. Roy (5 goals) Gembrook Cockatoo best players: R. Causer (2 goals), R. Delphine (2 goals), R. Wilson Thornton Eildon 22.21(153) d Yea 8.5(53)

Thornton Eildon continues to impress, this time with a 100-point victory over Yea. Thornton started off in fine form with a 7-goal-to-1 first term to set the tone for the day. The second term saw Yea hit the scoreboard with three goals but Thornton was still well on top booting six goals of their own to lead by an even 10 goals at halftime.

The second half saw Thornton Eildon continue to build on their lead with a 6-goal-to-1 third term and a 4-goal-to -3 last quarter to win by yet another big margin. They sit second on the ladder and only percentage behind Emerald in top spot.

Thornton-Eildon best players: L. Davison (6 goals), J. Herridge, R. Chapman (2 goals) Yea best players: H. Jarvie (2 goals), A. Martin (2 goals), M. McCulloch

Alexandra 10.8.68 d Yarra Junction 8.12.60 Alexandra has broken through for their first victory of the year with an 8-point win over Yarra Junction. Alex was great early as they hit the ground running in the first quarter booting 6 goals to just 1 behind to lead by 36 points at quarter time. The second term was a struggle for both sides to score but it was Alex with a slight edge booting 2 goals to 1 to lead by 41 points at halftime. The second half saw Yarra Junction hit back in a big way, they booted 5 goals to 2 in the third as Alex looked to tire a little and all of a sudden their lead was reduced to 24 points at the final
