YARRA Ranges Shire has thrown its support behind a state-wide campaign to continue funding for resilience-building programs for the region’s youth.

Council has been working with the Victorian Government to evaluate the benefits of the School Focused Youth Services (SFYS) program, an initiative that allows councils to work with schools to create programs designed to support vulnerable students.

Mater Christi College has been a major supporter of the program, while about 22 schools in the Yarra Ranges were successful in obtaining funding for this year of up to $10,000 for various programs.

Without these funds, which are due to cease on 30 December, present estimates suggest there could be in excess of 9000 children in middle years in the Yarra Ranges who will fall through the gaps.

Alice Tudehope, the SFYS co-ordinator, believes the cut could affect as many as half of the 98 schools in the Yarra Ranges.

“A lot of work goes into the upper years of primary school, such as Grade 5 and 6, which often get missed by traditional services,” she said.

“Early intervention, and then building that resilience among children, can greatly improve chances of long-term positive mental health.

“An SFYS-type intervention for adolescents reduces the demand on police, juvenile justice and mental health services.”

Funds to deliver SFYS programs in the region have been available since 1997.

Since its inception, Ms Tudehope said the program had delivered some extraordinary results.

This includes establishing a resilience fund (up to $100,000) to support schools to develop the strengths of young people.

The funds have also helped to deliver tailored well-being programs in areas identified by school principals - this has included at Monbulk.

Mater Christi College Deputy Principal, Carmel Feeney, said the service allowed the school to provide an important service.

“We have used the program in the past to develop leadership skills in workshops,” she said.

“This year we wanted to talk about body image.

“We wanted to affirm our girls and empower them to continue to make good choices.

“Our staff have appreciated the pr ofessional development opportunities and our pastoral program reinforces the key messages.”

Mater Christi College was successful in obtaining funding for a ‘Living Healthy and Free’ program, which was focused on developing healthy body image.

The school participated in the resilience survey and, through other research, decided that body image was a key factor in resilience.

Presently, the Victorian Government is reviewing the program and is expected to make an announcement on its future in September.

Yarra Ranges Council is urging residents and schools to contact their local MP to express their support for the continuation of the program.

Design course bags prize

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Paddy the Platypus and fund-raiser Tiffany Smith give the thumbs up to the well-received event.

Great vibe for SES

By PETER DOUGLAS THE wannabe Tour de France riders from Vibe Healthh and Fitness surpassed themselves recently when they completed five 45-minute RPM classes in four hours.

In the process, they raised more than $4300 for Emerald State Emergency Service.

The guys and girls from the fitness centre were cheered along by Paddy

Platypus from the SES as well as members from the local unit, with some of them taking part.

Controller Ben Owen even rode a couple of sessions.

“This is a great boost for our fundraising from Vibe Health and Fitness as well as the SES members who took part,” Ben said.

“The Emerald unit is truly grateful for their efforts.”

EMERALD Community House’s Permaculture Design Course has been announced as a finalist in the Learn Local Awards.

The awards are given to organisations that demonstrate high-calibre of training, and celebrate the achievements of students, teachers and providers of education across the state.

The permaculture design course run through Emerald Community House is a finalist in the ‘outstanding pathways program’ category of the awards.

House co-ordinator Mary Farrow said the immensely popular program offered amazing outcomes for adult education in the local area, across the state and internationally.

“The important thing with this course is it’s more than just gardening, it’s a change of philosophy for our world going forward,” she said.

The program has been aligned with the Indonesian Development of Education and Permaculture (IDEP) which participates in the course to increase the well-being, sustainability and food security of their communities.

IDEP is an Indonesian NGO-based in Bali that develops and delivers training and community programs to deliver sustainable development through permaculture and community-based disaster management.

“We look at how they deploy permaculture for employment, food security and quality of life. It’s a really important relationship,” Ms Farrow said.

The permaculture course is often booked out six months in advance, and students from the course receive credited units towards a horticulture degree.

Ms Farrow said the course offered many great pathways for people who took part and taught them valuable

Peter Allen who runs the permaculture course and Ade Andreawan, a Picture: CONTRIBUTED student from Indonesia. 142518 skills for future sustainability.

“The thing that makes this course so attractive is people who have completed it have gone on to TAFE or started their own businesses.”

“Permaculture brings people together and teaches them how to be self-reliant and makes them stronger,” she said.

The course has a widespread interest with students coming from all over the state as well as some from interstate.

Ms Farrow said if Emerald Com-

munity House won the Learn Local Award for their category their share in the $50,000 prize would go towards continuing to promote public education in the area.

“It’ll go to continue adult education and covering expenses of running the programs,” she said.

“Staff often volunteer beyond their working hours.”

The Learn Local Award winners will be announced at the Collingwood Town Hall on 10 September.

Council scratches golf course plan

By PETER DOUGLAS YARRA Ranges Council has taken a step forward to help preserve a picturesque parcel of land in the Lysterfield Valley, which had been proposed for development as a golf course.

At its 28 July meeting, council moved to request authorisation from the Minister of Planning to allow resubdivision of the land into five lots.

The land in question is located at 220 and 230 Glenfern Road, and 465 Lysterfield Road.

The Lysterfield Valley is an important part of the Dandenong

Ranges not only because of its historical significance, but its tourism role due to the land acting as a visual entry point into the region.

Ward councillor Mike Clarke said he was upset when suggestions of a golf course were raised.

“I felt what was being requested went against the feel of the land and community,” Cr Clarke said.

“This is a really important agricultural piece of land on the urban fringe; it helps the city-dwellers remember where their food comes from.

“There is strong historical con-

nection with farmers, as the land was the first in Australia to see the introduction of Ayrshire cattle.”

Cr Clarke said local landowners were becoming frustrated, in what had become a two-year process.

The site is located at the eastern end of the Lysterfield Valley, which is presently owned by three parties.

Site specific controls had enabled the use and development of about a 300ha, 27-hole golf course, with ancillary club house.

Melbourne Water has expressed their in-principle support to council over this decision.

Cr Noel Cliff said he was pleased there had finally been some movement on this issue.

“I’m really pleased to support this ... this has been going on forever,” Cr Cliff said.

Cr Cliff said the visual effect of the property should not be underestimated.

“When you come up along Glenfern Road, the views along there to your right, or to the south, are spectacular.

“Right down into the valley, you’re just going to see primary production, and that’s fantastic.”

Forging respect in footy relationships

By VICTORIA STONEMEADOWS MONTROSE and Lilydale Football Clubs clashed over the weekend in the name of respect. The teams faced off as part of the Eastern Football League’s (EFL) Respect Round which aims to put an end to violence against women and raise awareness of equal and respectful relationships.

Supported by Yarra Ranges Council, and Inspiro and Eastern Health’s YOU & I Project, EFL’s respect round involved a range of activities to bring awareness to the importance of respecting one another.

THE VICTORIAN Electoral Commission (VEC) will be reviewing the electoral representation of the Yarra Ranges Shire, and is asking residents to have their say.

The VEC announced on Wednesday 29 July that it would be accepting public submissions while running a review of the electoral structure of the shire, beginning on 5 August.

The review was announced “to ensure that it provides fair and equitable representation for all voters”, and will assess whether the current number of councillors is adequate; whether the municipality should be unsubdivided - where councillors are elected from the whole municipality, rather than in wards; and, if

Burnt out stolen cars probed BELGRAVE police are searching for information after two stolen cars were found burnt out over the weekend.

On Friday 31 July, police were called out to the corner of The Crescent and Nobels Lane in Sassafras, where an orange Subaru XV was found burnt out.

The following night, a 1998 silver Nissan Maxima sedan was found burnt out on Mary Street in Upwey.

Belgrave Senior Constable Laurence Seamer said that one of the cars was found with the correct registration plates, while another had stolen plates on it.

Witnesses allegedly saw a stolen car fleeing the scene in Sassafras, and police have not indicated whether the two incidents are linked.

Anyone with information is asked to call Belgrave police on 9754 6677 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Laundry coins pilfered POLICE are hunting for a coin-laden thief who broke into the office of a coin laundry in Main Street, Upwey, last week.

Between 5pm on Thursday and 10am the following day, an unknown person walked into the unlocked premises and forced open the door on a coin-change machine, stealing about $300.

The person then broke into the laundry’s office area and stole computer equipment.

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

Electoral review of shire - speak up

By JESSE GRAHAM

Briefly

subdivided, how the wards will be named, divided and the number of councillors per ward.

VEC Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately said public submissions were “a vital part of the review process” and provided “valuable local knowledge and perspectives.”

Submissions will be accepted until 5pm Wednesday 2 September, and a preliminary report will be released on Wednesday 30 September.

After that, residents will have roughly a month to make submissions in response to the report, with a deadline of 5pm on Wednesday 28 October.

By 25 November, the final report will be released, containing the VEC’s recommendations for the Local Government Minister which,

if accepted, will come into force for council’s October 2016 election.

The Mail contacted Yarra Ranges Council about the review, and was told by manager of Corporate Affairs Jennifer Bednar that the VEC would be reviewing more than 20 other councils along with Yarra Ranges.

“The Local Government Act 1989 requires the VEC to conduct electoral representation reviews before every third council election, approximately every 12 years, and Yarra Ranges is due for review,” Ms Bednar said.

“Representation reviews are a key mechanism to ensure that all voters in our municipality have their concerns and interests fairly and equitably represented.

WINTER DEAL

“The first review paper will not be released by the VEC until 5 August, which is the Guide for Submissions, until then it is too early for council to comment.”

Three information sessions on the review will be held, with one on Monday 10 August at the Yarra Ranges Council offices at 15 Anderson Street, Lilydale, another on Wednesday 12 August at Healesville’s Memorial Hall, and one on Thursday 13 August at the Monbulk Community Link.

All of the sessions will begin at 7pm.

THREE Yellingbo men will face court later in the year, after police raided a property in Sheepstation Creek Road last week.

On Tuesday 28 July, police from Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) executed search warrants at the Yellingbo property.

Yarra Ranges CIU Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow told the Mail that the warrants were in regards to stolen trailers, which were then found on the property.

“A number of trailers were recovered and three people were arrested,” Det Sgt Barrow said.

Three Yellingbo men - a 47-year-old, a 26-year-old and a 24-year-old were arrested at the property.

Det Sgt Barrow said two of the men were remanded in custody, while another was charged and bailed.

All three will appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court later in the year, and Det Sgt Barrow said police had “ongoing inquiries” to find the owners of the trailers.

Club break-in investigated POLICE are appealing for information after a burglary and attempted theft from the Wandin Football Club grounds last week.

Between 9pm on Sunday 26 July and 1pm on Tuesday 28 July, unknown persons smashed a window at the Clegg Road property.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said the people who broke in tried to force their way into the bar area of the building, but were unsuccessful.

Det Sgt Barrow said anyone with information should contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2300 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Due place for top trainees

By TONY SMITH IN 2009, I initiated the Casey Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Awards to recognise, reward and encourage careers in local trades and small business.

I am excited to announce that nominations have now opened for this year’s awards, and we are searching for Casey’s best apprentice or trainee.

I have long believed that we should be doing all we can to encourage and value excellence in our apprentices and trainees, so it is important we recognise their achievements where possible.

The apprentices and trainees of today will help form the backbone of our

small business and local economy into the future.

There were more than 1700 apprentices in training in the electorate of Casey in 2014.

There are hundreds more trainees gaining crucial work experience in a

broad range of areas such as hospitality, construction, automotive, manufacturing and agriculture.

The awards are judged by an independent panel of prominent local business leaders, chaired by Phil Munday of Phil Munday’s Panel Works.

I was pleased to host more than 100 people for last year’s awards.

It was the biggest awards ceremony to date.

We had an outstanding group of young apprentices and trainees from a broad range of specialties.

Following weeks of deliberation, Mikayla Paulet, a hairdressing apprentice at Natural Chique Hair and Make-

up in Mount Evelyn, was selected by the judges as the winner of the 2014 Casey Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Awards.

She was given the award for her professionalism, passion, dedication, and her can-do attitude.

It is a true testament to the high calibre of entrants last year that we had two runners-up for the award.

Cameron Bisschop, an automotive apprentice at Rock Hard Motors in Silvan, and Natacha De Barba, an apprentice chef at TarraWarra Estate in Yarra Glen, were both awarded as runners-up for their hard work.

I would like to take this opportu-

nity to congratulate last year’s winner, runners-up, finalists, and entrants once again.

I would also like to thank their nominators and employers, because without them these awards would be very difficult to run.

Nominations for this year’s Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Awards close on 21 August.

I encourage you to nominate an outstanding local apprentice or trainee.

Forms are available on my website at www.tonysmithmp.com Alternatively, you can call my office on 9727 0799 and we can send you a hard copy.

Letters Community compassion I HAVE lived in Emerald since 1985.

I have worked locally, raised two sons here and been involved in many community groups.

I have always loved living here but I have never felt as proud of my community as I have since Tuesday, 30 June.

When three dearly loved young people died that day in a tragic car accident, miraculously leaving one passenger alive but, no doubt, still struggling with the trauma of what has happened, the lives of four of our families changed forever.

The extent of this loss is still difficult for me to really comprehend.

The immediate and enormous support provided by so many individuals and groups from the local area has been truly overwhelming and proves undoubtedly the incredible strength that comes from community.

Messages of love and condolence, floral tributes, meals, emotional support, fund-raisers and private donations all began to kick in immediately as our community wrapped its arms around these families and held them close.

There is not a single thing we can do to change what has happened, but I hope knowing others are compassionate and caring will make their grief bearable.

From one member of our community, to every single other member, thankyou for doing what you do.

I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Jody Yandle, Avonsleigh.

Choices not respected THERE is so much denigration of retirees now that it makes me feel like a second-class citizen.

Our attitude towards retirement homes is similar, nobody ‘wants’ to live there, yet there really is no alternative once you need help to

Wood just fence-sitting HOW on Earth does someone like Jason Wood get elected to Federal Parliament?

He is now asking his constituents for their opinions on same sex marriage.

This sounds OK but, as voters, we want to know what his view is.

If a goldfish can decide whether to swim around its bowl in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, surely Jason has already formed his own opinion on the question of same sex marriage.

As for James Merlino, we know exactly where he stands because he follows the teachings of his church like a sheep.

I really do wonder whether our two elected members could compete with a goldfish in an IQ test.

live - then it’s all downhill from there.

No wonder our health care costs are astronomical; we basically pay somebody else to live our lives for us, plus pay extraordinary health care costs to keep us alive - why?

I have watched my mother, mother-in-law and father-in-law, all proud and happy people, all suffer the ultimate indignity as they aged “with support”.

None of them wanted it; they were all comfortable with their lives and just wanted a comfortable ending.

All completed ‘health choices’ that clearly enunciated this, but no, our systems and health professionals always knew better and kept them hanging on until the bitter, painful end ... then they complain about how much aged care health costs.

Please, for goodness sake, isn’t it obvious, that most people (not all, I agree) given a choice of choosing their end of life, would avoid all the pain and suffering that we are all destined for with our current practices.

We do have a means of saving our dignity ‘and’ our health system; it just needs some strength in our politicians to legislate to allow freedom of choice.

We ‘must’ push this discussion as a viable alternative, even if it’s just on monetary grounds (at least that’s an area that politicians understand), if (some) people want it, why deny them the right?

RSL hosts Vietnam day

By KATH GANNAWAY

Amid much cheer and celebration at the station opening, CFA captain Shane Peacock cuts the celebratory cake.

Fireys fire up

By PETER DOUGLAS CFA volunteers SILVAN haven’t held back in celebrating the highly anticipated opening of the town’s new fire station.

On an occasion that marked seven years of planning and hard work, Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley, Assistant Chief Officer Garry Cook and Deputy Premier James Merlino headed a star-studded turn-out for the opening on Sunday.

Some features of the open-

ing include improved training facilities at the station, as well as space for a third fire-brigade vehicle, which can now be housed at the same location as the two tankers.

The third tanker had previously been stored at a separate shed, which was located three kilometres away from the main station.

Amid the fanfare, it was also an important occasion for several volunteer members, who received awards in recognition

of their continued voluntary service to the CFA. Geoff Peacock and Rowley Parker were both awarded Honorary Life Membership of the brigade, while Stuart Parker and Lindsay Parker were both presented with National Service Medals.

Other medals awarded on the day included Daryl Peacock for 25 years of service, Louis Turnley for 20 years, Tim Drewitt for five years and Josh Parker for five years of service.

THE Yarra Valley Vietnam Veterans’ Day commemoration is being hosted this year

by Upper Yarra RSL. The event, now in its 11th year, provides an opportunity for veterans, their families, and members of the broader Yarra Ranges community to come together to recognise the contribution and sacrifice of the men and women who fought in the ‘conflict’ to Australia’s north.

Upper Yarra RSL welfare officer, and one of the organisers of this year’s event, Dennis Reeves, said while the official title of the Vietnam experience, as an undeclared war, remained the Vietnam conflict, it was every bit as much a war as the First World War Australia is commemorating, 100 years on this year.

Live artillery and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are just two of the experiences shared by the first Anzacs and their counterparts who fought from 1962 to 1972 in Vietnam.

Their desire to never see another war in which Australian lives would be lost is another. On both counts that has been a failed dream with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Comradeship is another.

Mr Reeves said the Yarra Valley commemoration was initiated because many veterans couldn’t attend the Vietnam Veterans Day service held on the anniversary of Long Tan, 18 August, each year in Melbourne.

“This local event gives an

Guest speaker, RSL State Vice-President, Vietnam veteran Robert Webster. 142522 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY opportunity for them to get together in recognition of their mates, and for the community to also show their appreciation and support,” he said.

This year’s guest speaker will be Senior Vice-President of the Victorian State Branch of the RSL, Vietnam veteran, Robert Webster.

The march will assemble at 10.30am at the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve and proceed down Park Road to the cenotaph for the service and wreath laying.

Veterans, their families and members of the community are invited back to Upper Yarra RSL after the service.

The Yarra Valley Vietnam Veterans’ Day Committee is an initiative of the Vietnam Veterans Community; Outer Eastern Melbourne Subbranch - Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia, the Healesville, Lilydale, Mount Evelyn, Upper Yarra, Warburton and Yarra Glen RSL Subbranches and the National Servicemen’s Association.

Alex Ellis stars as Veronica Lake in Drowning in Veronica Lake, opening on Saturday 8 August in Healesville.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Your ticket to a night of intrigue A STRIKING, sultry and honest play is set for the stage at Healesville’s Memo Hall on Saturday, and the Mail has two double passes to give away for the show.

Drowning in Veronica Lake will be performed at the Memo from 7.30pm on Saturday 8 August.

Alex Ellis plays Veronica Lake, a colossal Hollywood star in the 1940s who was smart, sexy and typecast as a femme fatale from an early age.

She polarised the industry, with people either loving or hating her, became the benchmark for self-destructive celebrities.

Set 40 years later, Drowning in Veronica Lake focuses on the show’s namesake wrestling with her stardom, alcohol, men and her steady decline towards obscurity.

Written by Phil Ormsby, the play attempts to shine a light on celebrity, tragedy and isolation in the context of those who are in the limelight, in front of millions of watching eyes.

The Mail has two double passes to give away to the show, each valued at $44.

To be in the draw, go to the Mail News Group Facebook page at http://on.fb.me/1L9Hawf (case sensitive) and like, share and comment on the relevant post.

Winners will be drawn at 5pm on Thursday 6 August. Good luck!

Drowning in Veronica Lake was also performed at Burrinja on Saturday 1 August.

Sea of lights to adorn lake

By JESSE GRAHAM A FESTIVAL to light up Yarra Glen’s small lake is coming, and residents are being invited to take part and make their own floating lantern.

The Yarra Glen Festival of Light this winter will be held at Yarra Glen’s lake, in front of the IGA supermarket, from 5.30pm on Saturday 22 August.

Organised by the Community Fun Projects Group, with help from the Yarra Glen Living and Learning Centre, residents will be able to make and release their own floating lantern onto the lake as the sun sets.

According to the group, the aim of the event is to bring the community together for a winter event, combining the work of residents, artists and groups in Yarra Glen.

The lanterns will be similar to Chinese floating lanterns, with jars filled with candles floating on wooden boards across the lake.

With enough attendees and enough candles, the entire lake could be lit up with individually designed lanterns until the lights flicker out, making the area an ephemeral artwork.

Living and Learning Centre office and program co-ordinator Debra Traill told the Mail that the festival had widespread support from Yarra Glen’s community groups, with the Chamber of Commerce throwing its support behind the idea.

The Yarra Glen Festival of Light Facebook page also noted that businesses have donated materials for the night, including drums for fire pits and tissue paper for the lanterns.

In preparation for the event, the Living and Learning Centre is holding a lantern making workshop on Saturday 15 August from 4pm-6pm, with the help of local artist, Elisabeth Bromley.

Residents can come along and create their own lantern to release on the night, and the organising group is looking for donations of glass jars and materials, which can be donated to the Living and Learning Centre, Hargreaves Hill and Melba Lodge.

For more information on the festival, visit www.facebook.com/yarraglenwinterlights or www.yarraglenwinterlights.com.au.

Sign-up sheets for the workshop can be found at the Reading Room at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall, or in the Facebook event on the page.

Double-pass winner announced Paper main character Paper Towns Starring Nat Wolff, Cara Delevingne, Halston Sage, Austin Abrams Rated M for sexual references

By PETER DOUGLAS THE winner of a double-pass to see the stage show of ‘Steptoe and Son’ is Anne McCaffery.

Ms McCaffery answered that her favourite character was Harold Steptoe.

Subsequently, she will be able to select which show she would like to attend, with performances being conducted by Ferntree Gully’s The 1812 Company until 22 August.

The theatre company recently held its opening night of the show at the Lowe Auditorium.

This classic British comedy tells the story of a middle-aged man and his elderly father who run an unsuccessful ‘rag and bone’ business.

Ian Johnson from 1812 Theatre Company said the show had a wide appeal.

“This is not a modern adaptation of the television show, but stays true to the

Ed Kennett (Harold Steptoe) with Keith Hutton (Albert Steptoe) in a scene based on the classic British sitcom. original,” he said.

“The script is an adaptation from three episodes of the show.

“Such sitcom-based plays are appeal-

ing because the audiences are already familiar with the characters and themes.”

For more information, visit www.1812theatre.com.au

THE second film to be adapted from a John Green novel, Paper Towns isn’t as solid as last year’s The Fault In Our Stars, but it’s still an enjoyable effort.

Quentin (Nat Wolff), a straightlaced straight-A high school student, has had a crush on the more rebellious Margo (Cara Delevingne) since they were kids. But when Margo runs away one day, Quentin resolves to find her and tell her how he really feels.

The thing is - Margo isn’t worth it. She’s a pushy, vindictive hipster who only speaks in lofty platitudes.

Delevingne’s performance is somewhat flat, and the film hits a low when she’s on-screen.

But that’s the point. Quentin is pursuing the myth of his cool, perfect soul-mate, and in this film, the journey is more important than the destination.

Paper Towns develops from an engaging mystery film into a charming road-trip movie. Wolff and his co-stars play off each other beautifully, and the humour is very natural. The film maintains a warm, earnest energy during the trip, and it’s uplifting to watch Quentin become more adventurous and have one last hurrah with his friends before college.

Paper Towns is a funny and touching little film that compels its younger viewers to seriously think about what (or who) they want in life.

If only the focal point (Margo) was a more interesting character.

E-rates on way for shire

Clowns abound in life as circus

PROPERTY owners in Cardinia Shire will notice some changes on their 2015-’16 rates notices, which will be issued next month.

Council has introduced an electronic delivery of notices and changed the main payment option to four instalments.

The pay-in-full option by 15 February is no longer available.

Ratepayers who prefer to pay in a lump sum, can continue to do this, however this amount must be paid by the first instalment due date, which is on 30 September 2015.

Additionally, ratepayers can now choose to receive, pay and store rates notices online through BPAY View.

By PETER DOUGLAS MOUNT Dandenong Primary School students are exploring the theme of bullying through their upcoming Wakakirri performance, ‘Cirque Du Brute’.

For this year’s Wakakirri, a national storysharing festival for primary schools, 80 students from Grades 1 to 5 will sharpen their performance skills.

Wakakirri co-ordinator, Cheryl Sinclair, from the school, said it was an enjoyable event for the students, but there were some vital lessons to be learned. “The theme for our story is ‘life is a circus’,� she said. “We are all different and we all live together, but there are some among us who are cowardly and cruel. “They are the bullies of the world, the clowns who ridicule others.�

The Wakakirri festival was started in the belief a great story can change the way people think about the world.

Each year, hundreds of school across Australia create story-dances for the popular event.

Bullies knocked out of play

PUFFING Billy is today (Tuesday) celebrating a major milestone, as it is 50 years to the day of its re-opening on 4 August, 1965.

After a lapse of 12 years, the popular steam train recommenced regular weekend and school holiday trips to Emerald.

At the time, Minister for Transport, Mr Meagher, said “that little

train would make one return trip from Belgrave to Emerald each day of operation in winter and two such returns in summer�.

There would also be trips to the present terminal at Menzies Creek.

Mr Meagher said what they had done in recent years, to first restore the line to Menzies Creek, and now to Emerald, would become history.

Electoral Representation Review Yarra Ranges Shire Council

Local author and teacher Sharon Witt, Mayor Maria McCarthy, Yarra Hills Secondary Acting Principal Robyn Dew and Margi Sank from Lilydale Rotary Club with the Anti-Bullying Boat at the Bully Stoppers Forum. 142455 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS Margi Sank from Lilydale Rotary Club said the forum was a great initiative and was pleased the Rotary club had a chance to be involved in it. “It’s about peace and conflict resolution and we’re happy our focus in Rotary fits in with the forum,� she said. “We’re all really impressed with the work the schools do.�

Students also had a chance to discuss their own experiences with bullying during a presentation from author and local teacher Sharon Witt.

During the presentation, students were encouraged to take the skills they had learnt back to their school and make a difference to bullying, working together as a team.

Acting Principal of Yarra Hills Secondary College Robyn Dew said it was important for primary school children to gain

these skills now as bullying was an issue that went beyond the school gates. “Every school will experience bullying, but it’s also a society-wide issue.� “We want to raise awareness and empower students to make a difference and change attitudes to make a change to bullying,� she said.

One of the activities during the forum was a discussion on how to launch the anti-bullying boat.

The boat was constructed by a local artist in partnership with St Mary’s Primary School and is made from materials that represent students feelings associated with bullying.

The boat will travel from school to school as a reminder of the work and commitment students have put towards combating bullying.

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS YARRA Hills Secondary College played host to leaders from local primary schools for an anti-bullying forum last week.

The Bully Stoppers project forum included student leaders from Mount Evelyn Primary School, St Mary’s Primary School, Birmingham Primary School and Wandin North Primary School as well as students from Yarra Hills Secondary.

The students engaged in leadership skills training as well as discussions on how to deal with the problem of bullying in their schools and in wider social networks.

Through activities like random acts of kindness, notes of appreciation, brainstorming sessions and guest presentations, students had a chance to gain valuable skills and techniques to teach others how to combat bullying. The bully stoppers forum was the product of a Mount Evelyn Township Planning Night held in 2013.

Representatives from local primary schools put forward a proposal for a youth summit to focus on issues affecting young people in the area.

With support from Lilydale Rotary Club and Yarra Ranges Council, the Bully Stoppers Project is also funded through a grant from the Victorian Government to stamp out bullying in schools.

The forum was opened by Mayor Maria McCarthy who gave a speech about the importance of tackling bullying and the importance of these types of discussions.

changes would give residents more structure and clarity when paying their rates. “Rate revenue is a vital source of funding that enables council to deliver its many services, facilities and projects,� Cr Wilmot said. “Rate levels are determined by factors including inflation, projects to improve our shire and the cost of delivering services.�

Council still offers the option to make part payments by weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments.

Anyone experiencing difficulties paying the instalments by the due dates should call council’s customer service team on 1300 787 624 to set up a repayment plan.

Acquire a taste for oral health DENTAL Health Week is a community-based awareness campaign that aims to teach Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health.

Each year, Dental Week focuses on a new theme; this year’s being ‘Sports and Oral Health’.

The 2015 campaign is set to urge Australians who are involved with sports to have a discussion with their dentist around the impact their involvement may have on their oral health, and ways to prevent sports-related dental trauma.

Three main issues that will be the topic of conversation this year will include: mouthguard awareness, dental trauma/tooth first aid, sports hydration, dental caries and erosion.

With more and more Australian children getting active and joining sporting clubs, it is important for parents to educate them on dental care from an early age.

Many clinics throughout Australia jump on board for Dental Week by decorating their practices, giving talks and hosting discussions at local schools, businesses and sporting clubs.

Meanwhile, to assist clubs and schools to deliver the highest level of safety to their members and students, the Australian Dental Association, in-conjunction with Sports Medicine Australia, has created a mouthguard policy.

The policy is intended to be used by clubs and schools as a template for implementing a strict ‘No Mouthguard, No Play’ policy, without exception.

As part of the ADA’s commitment to oral health promotion, the association is offering seven $1000 grants to sporting clubs and schools in Australia.

These grants aim to help sports clubs and

The benefits of good oral health shouldn’t be underestimated. schools promote mouthguard awareness and injury prevention.

To go in the draw to win a $1000 grant for your club or school, simply follow these two steps; Step 1: Download the ADA and SMA mouthguard policy, fill in the missing fields and implement within your club or school.

Step 2: We’d love to see a photo of your team/club showing off their new ‘No Mouthguard, No Play’ rules! Be as creative as you want, and then either email adainc@ada.org. au.

AT 7am at Emerald last Saturday, the sky fell in and the golf course was under water.

The hardy, or waterproof members, rolled in to see if these conditions suited them sufficiently to walk away with the VGL August monthly medal.

In B Grade, it was John Carvill (17) who was the winner with a nett 71.

Of the plodders, it was left to Ken Hill (17) with 72 followed

by Peter Clowes (16) and Dean Shannon (17) who both carded 73.

Clowes was nearest to the pin on the 4th and the 13th, Dave Mackey the 7th, John Fisher the 12th, and the usual suspect, Ken Hill, won the pro pin cash on the 18th.

The ladies’ event was won

again by Brianna McCoy and she was followed in, one stroke back, by Davina Mackey.

On Wednesday, when the Obviously Fabulous Golfers limped in, they found it was a stableford event with some putting concessions that made scoring easier for some, some of the time.

Ken Hill (16) made the most of these conditions and played beautifully for a nett 59.

Bobby Kennedy (22) was in second place with 59 followed in third place by Geoff Whittaker (22) with 62.

By PETER DOUGLAS FIVE Eastern Ranges footballers have been included in the 44-strong group who gained invitations to the AFL draft combine this October.

Young guns Ryan Clarke (Knox), Blake Hardwick (Doncaster East), Liam Jeffs (East Ringwood), Jason Parsons (Norwood) and Sam Weideman (Vermont) comprise an impressive list of youngsters who will head to the camp, where some of the top AFL coaches will put

them through their paces.

The selection is the third highest representation of any TAC Cup team, which is topped

by Dandenong Stingrays (eight) and Oakleigh Chargers (six).

Traditionally, the draft combine is where the elite footballers from the TAC Cup head to show their skills to head recruiters for the coming year’s draft.

AFL clubs nominate the candidates, with each club indicating the 50 prospects they wish to see attend.

Of the five Ranges’ players selected, Weideman is tipped to be leading the pack and had been touted as a top 10 draft pick.

Weideman, a 197cm key position prospect, has pretty decent bloodlines, given he is the grandson of three-time Copeland Trophy winner for Collingwood, Murray Weideman.

His father, Mark, played 28 games with Collingwood.

Eastern Ranges presently sits fourth on the ladder, with eight wins and four losses.

It’s a ‘yes’ from most THE MAIL’S straw poll into same-sex marriage has wound up after receiving 100 replies in the space of two weeks.

The poll came after the announcement that La Trobe MP Jason Wood was surveying his electorate on same-sex marriage to determine his representations to Parliament on the matter.

Casey MP Tony Smith ruled out following suit, and

indicated that he would not support changing the Marriage Act to allow same-sex couples to marry.

The poll asked “Based on what you know at this point in time, would you support or oppose allowing same-sex couples to marry in Australia?”

The survey was capped at 100 responses, as per the limitations of the website

provider, and resulted in 82 respondents indicating their support for allowing same-sex marriage.

The other 18 respondents said they would oppose allowing the couples to marry - no respondents were undecided.

The Mail thanks all members of the public who took the time to answer the brief survey.

Final rounds THE final round of the home and away for six of the seven Monbulk junior footy sides were played at Monbulk and Mount Evelyn.

Slippery conditions greeted the sides on Sunday for a number of the team’s last outings for the year.

Four Monbulk sides (Under 11s, Under 13s, Under 14s and Under 16s) will be representing the club in the finals next week in an exciting time for all the players.

Under 9s opened the day against Woori Yallock gold and played in front of their proud supporters.

The great season finished on a great note with plenty of inspired teamwork and play.

The team has come on in leaps and bounds.

Under 10s finished the season against Woori Yallock with a fantastic positive performance.

The kids finished off the season well with an entertaining game and can look forward to next season with anticipation in a competitive competition.

Under 12s played against Woori Yallock and, although not winning the game, put in their best performance for five weeks.

Missing finals was disappointing but the kids' skills, game play and knowledge has improved greatly.

Woori was too good on the day.

Under 13s journeyed to Mount Evelyn and showed why they are the team to beat in the finals with a thumping 94-point win.

After a couple of losses in a row, the kids were strong across the ground, and head into the finals brimming with confidence.

Under 14s played the lower place Woori Yallock.

Terrific intensity and effort from everyone endeavouring to play their role.

Great lead-up into the finals and the team look forward to the heat of the finals.

Under 16s topsy-turvy season continued with a poor performance against a much more determined Woori Yallock.

Unfortunately, again for coach Hughson’s team, the poor

By JAMIE STRUDLEY

attendance at training and focus reverberated in the day’s game.

Full praise to Woori Yallock, who ran harder, were more determined and played as a team to take the points.

Under 16s go into the finals with some hard work required on the track, if they are to progress any further.

YARRA Ranges Athletics athletes competed in round seven of the Athletics Victoria XCR15 season on Saturday at the demanding Brimbank Park.

The event was the 123rd running of the Victorian 10mile cross-country championships, held every year since 1892.

The course included the imposing climb up ‘Col de Brimbank’ made much easier by the cacophony of cow bells, vuvuzelas and other noises from spectators lining the course.

As is expected by all clubs throughout Victoria, the Yarra Ranges Athletics team loudly supported their fellow clubmates, especially when they needed it most.

Standout performance of the day was a convincing win

by Ruby Dixon in the under-14 girls 4km race.

The win sealed a dominant season for Ruby, who also claimed the overall under-14 girls season title, a great effort

by Ruby in one of the most competitive grades.

Ruby was chased all the

way by Georgia Laven who finished second.

The club’s only other medallist from the day was James Laven in the under-16 boys 6km, finishing third, enough for James to secure the overall under-16 boys XCR15 title.

Special mention also to our club athletes making their individual debuts at an AV XCR event, well done to Jordan Brown (open men), Maddie Laven (under-14 girls) and Mia Strudley (under-14 girls).

RESULTS FROM THE DAY: U14 boys 4km: Harrison Van Duuren 6th 14.22, Ryan Thrall 16th 16.14, Liam Russell 18th 17.26, Jayden Clarke 19th 17.38, Camden Hewitson 23rd 18.33.

U14 girls 4km: Ruby Dixon 1st 14.37, Georgia Laven 2nd 14.49, Maddie Laven 7th 15.35, Mia Strudley 12th 17.16, Zoe Sibley 17th 18.45.

U16 boys 6km: James Laven 3rd 20.44, Tynan Mims 14th 22.52.

U16 girls 6km: Lily Thompson 11th 24.49.

U18 girls 6km: Olivia Twining 10th 26.35, Amy Veenendaal 11th 30.37.

U18 boys 8km: Lachlan Scully 24th.

Men open 16km: Michael Clarke 132nd 1.02.38, Bryan Ackerly 155th 1.03.56, David Mims 217th 1.09.51, Justin Eagleton 225th 1.10.59, Jordan Brown 227th 1.11.09, David Seeds 237th 1.11.51, David Laven 251st 1.13.29, Jamie Strudley 255th 1.13.51, Gerard Thrall 292nd 1.21.16, Craig Hewitson 301st 1.22.32.

Women open 6km: Amanda Branson 55th 25.25, Amanda Laven 80th 26.31, Sue McCall 141st 30.32, Emma Wilton 151st 31.57.

The remainder of the club competed at the Cockatoo Hills Challenge on a very testing, wet course.

The club turned out in force again to retain the Hills Challenge team trophy.

Check out the website for results and photos.

Further afield, club athletes Lucas Taylor and Lee Taylor competed in the Victorian Road Walking Championships.

Both athletes recording excellent performances, Lucas claiming third place in the under-20 men’s 10km and Lee finishing sixth in the under-16 girls 5km.

Next week is a fun day/ obstacle course challenge at Margaret Lewis Reserve from 8.45am.

Come dressed in your finest superstar or superhero costume for a fun, challenging and exciting morning of cross-country.

Tough conditions as relegations loom WELL winter has arrived.

Every game this weekend was played in tough conditions.

Wet weather footy this year has not really been seen by many players and Saturday was their first real taste.

Mount Evelyn’s win over Belgrave saves the relegation race.

The final 5 for Division 1 looks set; the only thing left to see is who can grab that elusive second chance.

Fourth and fifth spot in Division 2 is still anyone’s.

A bye to Gembrook this week may see them jump Seville if they can’t get over Kinglake.

Musical chairs all around.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Mount Evelyn 16.12 (108) d Belgrave 11.16 (82) Mount Evelyn now look safe from relegation after recoding a great 26-point win over Belgrave.

Belgrave started off very well and looked to be in control as they booted 6 goals to 2 in the opening term to lead by 27 points at quarter time. Mount Evelyn looked inspired in the second quarter as their running game was first class and all of a sudden Belgrave looked slow, Mount Evelyn scored seven goals for the term while holding Belgrave to just four behinds to go into half-time with an 11-point lead. The 2nd half was certainly a good battle. Then, the last quarter saw both sides kick three goals which was enough to see Mount Evelyn salute at the final siren and record arguably their best win of the year.

Mount Evelyn best players: R. Cowan (2 goals), M. Martin (4 goals), J. Gardam Belgrave best players: T. Stubley (1 goal), D. Collins (2 goals), D. Bilston (2 goals)

Healesville 13.13 (91) d Monbulk 10.10 (70) Healesville pulled off a great victory over second-placed Monbulk after a dominant first half.

Healesville looked the hungrier side from the outset as they won the contested ball and hit every contest hard. They booted 10 goals to 4 in the first half, six of those goals coming in the second term while holding Monbulk to just one major in that same term. Healesville’s lead at half-time was a very handy 35 points. Healesville may have only booted two goals in the final quarter, but they held Monbulk to just one major to record a great win as they head towards finals.

Healesville best players: A. Davies (2 goals), H. Prest (1 goal), B. Nicholls (1 goal) Monbulk best players: T. Gromer, J. Major, K. Gray (3 goals)

Olinda Ferny Creek 11.13 (79) d Upwey Tecoma 11.12 (78) Olinda was given one hell of a fright as they had to come from behind to win by a solitary point over Upwey. Olinda started off well with a 3-goal-to-1 opening term to lead by 14 points, but Upwey’s second quarter was superb as they denied Olinda’s run and slotted 7 goals to 1, and at the main break Upwey held a five-point advantage. Olinda had to dig deep in the last with some

risks paying off. They booted 4 goals to 2 to hit the lead late in the game and was able to hold on to taste victory at the final siren.

Olinda Ferny Creek best players: K. Currie, G. Stevens, D. Rohrmann (2 goals) Upwey Tecoma best players: K. Grenda (1 goal), L. Beacom, B. Sheppard (1 goal)

Wandin 36.14 (239) d Yarra Glen 2.5 (17) Wandin completely destroyed Yarra Glen in a performance that was first rate for them and embarrassing for their opponents. Wandin booted 18 goals in the first half with 11 of them coming in the second quarter as they raced to a 106-point lead at half-time. The second half didn’t get any better for Yarra Glen as Wandin continued their dominance.

Wandin best players: M. Polkinghorne (2 goals), K. Talevski (11 goals), J. Taylor (1 goal) Yarra Glen best players: D. Hurley (1 goal), R. Gurney (1 goal), J. Baughan

Woori Yallock 9.12 (66) d Warburton Millgrove 7.8 (50) Woori Yallock had to fight off a very determined Warburton to eventually prevail by 16 points. The first quarter was a goal-for-goal affair, with both sides slotting three goals and Woori leading by just one point at the first change. Woori did pull away slightly in the second, scoring 3 goals to 1 and at the main break their lead was a narrow 15 points. The second half was a torrid battle as neither team found any real ascendancy.

Every time Warburton looked to challenge, Woori Yallock had the answers to keep their lead. Both sides scored three goals apiece in the second half which saw Woori run out winners in what wasn’t a pretty game but still a pretty good contest.

Woori Yallock best players: K. Busoli, M. Baxter (2 goals), J. Matthews (1 goal) Warburton Millgrove best players: T. Walker, B. Winzer, D. Brookes

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Kinglake 13.6 (84) d Alexandra 4.8 (32)

Kinglake best players: J. Nixon (9 goals), A. Whelan, J. Mende Alexandra best players: B. Cooper (2 goals), C. Mullins (1 goals), J. Purcell

Yarra Junction 10.6 (66) d Gembrook Cockatoo 5.13 (43) Yarra Junction has pulled off somewhat of an upset with a stirring 23-point victory over Gembrook. The first half was a great battle and you couldn’t pick a winner at half-time as scores were all tied up at 5.2 (32) apiece at the main break.

The last term was a similar one to the third for Gembrook as they once again had their chances but only scored five points while Yarra Junction booted 1.2 to come away with a very impressive victory.

Gembrook Cockatoo best players: L. Frazzetto, C. Vernal, J. Raymond

Emerald 8.10 (58) d Thornton Eildon 4.13 (37) Emerald has dealt Thornton Eildon their second loss on the trot winning by 21 points in a low-scoring encounter. There was only two goals scored in the first term, but they both went the way of Emerald while Thornton Eildon could only manage three behinds. The second quarter opened up a little as both teams spread more around the ground and goals did come a bit more

Healesville captain Daniel Plozza leads the Healesville Bloods onto the ground for the club s Pink Breast Cancer awareness and fund-raiser on Saturday.

Seville 6.8 (44) d Powelltown 5.10 (40) Seville has moved to fifth spot on the ladder after upsetting Powelltown to the tune of just four points. This was a very low scoring affair that Powelltown led at every change but the not the final siren. Powelltown led by 13 points at quarter time after a 3- goal-to-1 opening term where they did have the majority of the play. Seville’s defence was superb in the last quarter as they stifled Powelltown’s attack holding them to just three points while Seville added 2.2 to hit the front late in the game and was able to hold on to win and keep their finals dream well and truly alive.

Where would your club be without you?

They’re players, coaches, committee members, volunteers and supporters. And every week, their club relies on the contribution of every one of them. But they’re also farmers, tradesmen, office workers, truck drivers and much more as well. And doing those jobs safely, in safe working environments, is vital. To the workers, their families – and to their footy club.
