The fight to farm

By KATH GANNAWAY

Yarra Ranges free-range pig farmer, Jo Stritch, is fighting Picture: KATH GANNAWAY for the right to farm. husbandry in the Green Wedge Zone 1-3.

Cr Jim Child said he felt for Ms Stritch who he believed should be given the opportunity to apply for a permit to operate the farm.

“It all hinged on that VCAT determination which is that she is now operating as intensive.

“Where I am coming from, and very strongly, is to say let’s get the C146 (amendment) to the next stage,

and cattle feedlots, it was important to look at the recommendation that will go to council on Tuesday which emphasises the ‘free-range’ aspect of the amendment.

“That’s what we want to get across the line,” he said.

Meanwhile, the future operation of Happy Valley Free-Range in its current form at Wandin is, at best, uncertain.

Cr Child said it was important to note that VCAT ruled only on whether the operation was intensive or extensive.

“They never judged her operation,” he said.

where it is currently prohibited.

C146 was opened up to submissions earlier this year.

Yarra Ranges councillors will decide on Tuesday night whether to make that request to the Minister, which would allow people who made submissions to put their views forward, or, in light of the submissions received so far, to abandon the amendment and maintain the current prohibition of all forms of intensive animal

1036219-SH24-12

CHANGES to planning rules that would pave the way for intensive farming in Green Wedge zones may come too late for a Yarra Ranges freerange pig farmer - if they come at all.

A VCAT decision in July has ruled that the operation of Happy Valley Free Range Pty Ltd in Wandin is defined as ‘intensive’ animal husbandry, and as such does not comply with the Yarra Ranges Council planning scheme.

The decision could affect farmers in Green Wedge Zones 1-3 which cover parts of Wandin North, Silvan, Monbulk, Coldstream, Gruyere, Macclesfield, Belgrave South, Sassafras, Narre Warren East, Yellingbo and Hoddles Creek.

Happy Valley owner, Jo Stritch told the Mail last week the ruling had hinged not on the amount of food brought onto the farm, which had been her understanding of the criteria, but on the nutritional value.

VCAT Deputy President, Helen Gibson, said the free-range nature of the pigs’ activities was not a determinative factor in whether the use was intensive or extensive animal husbandry.

She said it was the source of food that supplied the animals’ primary nutritional needs, rather than the volume of food, that had to be considered.

As Ms Stritch got set to work through the compliance issues with Yarra Ranges Council, Liberal Member for Evelyn, Christine Fyffe, weighed into the debate, raising the issue in State Parliament last week.

She warned that changes needed to be made if the right to farm was to continue in Yarra Ranges.

Mrs Fyffe called on the Minister for Planning to appoint an independent panel to look at Yarra Ranges Council’s proposed Amendment C146 which, if adopted, would bring in a permit system for intensive free-range farming in the Green Wedge zones

Eagles lap up spotlight YARRA Junction Football Netball Club took centre stage over the weekend as Worksafe Victoria launched its latest advertising campaign at the club’s home ground.

In front of a 200-strong crowd, Worksafe aired its television advertisement at its Game of the Month, which featured footage of action shots of players as well as crosses to the crowd.

Each year, WorkSafe hosts four games at different clubs throughout Victoria. Numerous football and netball identities addressed the Eagles faithful, including Carlton premiership coach David Parkin, AFL Victoria general manager Steven Reaper, and Australian netball representatives Eloise Southby and Maddie Robinson.

Parkin stepped in as a late replacement for fellow Hawks legend, Peter Knights, who cited personal issues.

The master coach ably filled the role, keeping the crowd amused with several amusing anecdotes, as well as revealing in his younger days how he spent time working at the Upper Yarra Reservoir.

However, there was a serious side to his message.

“Local football clubs are the hub of communities, so we should be doing everything we can to support that,” he said.

“We need to make it safer for our participants, as well as an enjoyable environment.”

Melbourne Vixen Robinson also spoke of persistence, particularly in the face of adversity.

Robinson spoke of the low points in her career, which included being culled twice from the national squad.

“I thought that was it, I didn’t want to go through this anymore,” she said.

“But you’ve got to find a way through it and I’m glad that I did.”

Robinson’s high points now include a Commonwealth Games gold medal last year, as well as being labelled at one point the best netballer in the world.

In her address, she also paid tribute to grassroots football and netball clubs.

“I’ve long had a passion and love for sport, having played in regional Victoria I understand the importance of local clubs,” she said.

“I played with South Barwon in Geelong and stepped up through many levels.”

Unfortunately, Robinson is facing another battle, this time recently undergoing surgery for a ruptured ACL. This has meant she is missing the World Cup tournament being played in Sydney.

Meanwhile, there was plenty of

activity throughout the day, including children’s activities such as facepainting and jumping castle, as well as personalised badges being created for those willing.

The senior footballers put on an incredible performance, with the underdogs notching a thrilling four-point

win over Thornton-Eildon.

Yarra Junction club president Tony Aulich said the club was pleased to have been chosen to take part.

“It’s been a bit of a bonding exercise for us all and it means positive exposure for the club,” he said.

Focus on homeless youth

By KATH GANNAWAY CHANGES to planning laws in Yarra Ranges could go a long way in helping get homeless young people off the street, off other people’s couches and into secure, low-cost accommodation.

The lack of a roof above their heads, and the impediments placed by state and local planning regulations was a recurring theme when the Mail spoke to the people at the coalface of youth homelessness last week.

With former Yarra Ranges mayor Tim Heenan again sleeping rough in Melba Park in Lilydale to mark Homelessness Week, the issue that gets very little ‘air play’ at any other time of the year, is pushed to the surface.

Mr Heenan said this year, over the nine days, has been largely focused on ways of connecting with people in an effort to stop them becoming homeless.

However, he said there was also a need to deal with the ‘not in my backyard’ mentality that stopped people who may be willing and able to provide small scale accommodation for someone.

Allowing bungalow accommodation in areas that are now restricted was an obvious solution, he said.

“Even if you look at the current situation with dependant person’s units (bungalows), we were always told at council that once that dependant person

died, the unit had to go.

“It’s just rubbish.

“The rules need to be changed and that requires State Government, council and the community to make the changes,” he said.

“When you ask about the negative consequences, they’re virtually none.”

Neal Taylor, CEO and community worker with Holy Fools in Lilydale said there was no doubt that youth are the big demographic in Yarra Ranges.

Holy Fools works with homeless people and people who are at risk of becoming homeless from their Lilydale base, and has recently started doing a community lunch on Thursdays in Yarra Junction.

Reports of people sleeping out in Queen’s Park and at the Yarra Glen racetrack in summer leave him in no doubt that the problem exists across the board.

“I don’t know where they go in winter,” he said.

Unlike the city where homelessness is very much out in the open, Mr Taylor said it was hidden in the hills and the Yarra Valley where even kids were sleeping rough; they were couch surfing, moving from place to place, sleeping in their cars or living in boarding houses.

“A lot of guys we deal with are also very reluctant to go out because of the

Crash victims trapped in car

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS EMERGENCY services faced a difficult situation in East Warburton on Friday afternoon when a car hit a tree.

The grey Mitsubishi wagon was heading east on the Warburton Highway when it left the road sideways and careened into a tree.

Upper Yarra SES and Wandin CFA were called to the scene of the accident at 3pm on Friday 7 August.

A male driver in his fifties and a female passenger in her late forties were trapped in their vehicle after the car crashed into the tree on the driver’s side.

“It was quite a bad accident,” said Upper Yarra SES volunteer Russell Wulf.

“It was a really difficult job to get the people out. They hit the tree right on the driver’s side and hit it very hard,” he said.

Emergency services were able to free the female passenger of the car within roughly 10 minutes but the male driver remained trapped in the vehicle for over an hour.

EWENT N ER EM D G UN NA MA

Tim Heenan and friends send a message that until the basic need of shelter is sorted out everything goes on hold. 142873 Picture: GREG CARRICK stigma attached - they do their best to blend so as to not be identified as being homeless,” he said.

He said what was needed was basic homes that were comfortable but within people’s means.

That could be bungalows, but there are other options that could help relieve the situation almost immediately.

“Student accommodation at the Swinburne campus is still empty and could be used for crisis accommodation,” he said.

He said the organisation was talking with Yarra Ranges Mayor Maria McCathy around the issue of multiple dwellings and ways of making permits for buildings such as bungalows easier to get through council.

Pastor Andy Bennett from River Valley Church in Millgrove said bungalows were a win-win that would not only create affordable housing and a secure home-base for someone who was homeless, but would potentially help pay a mortgage for someone under mortgage stress.

“I understand the fear behind it, but if there could be some flexibility in some of the planning laws around the green wedge and the notion of independent bungalows, it could massively improve the homeless situation,” he said.

“There’s no doubt that planning laws have a considerable role to play in addressing homelessness in Yarra Ranges.”

Upper Yarra SES and Wandin CFA were called to the scene of the accident on Friday 7 August. 142862

“One of the biggest problems we faced was he kept losing consciousness,” Mr Wulf said.

“We ended up having to winch the car off the tree to get to the driver because it was so caved in and we had to remove the roof of the car.”

The driver was taken to The Alfred hospital and has been placed in the intensive care unit in a critical but stable condition.

The female passenger was taken to Maroondah hospital but released Saturday morning with minor injuries.

Upper Yarra SES said locals at the scene of the accident, Angela Gadsby and Samantha Sengleman, did an amazing job responding to the incident.

“Witnesses to the accident tuned off the car and managed to get access to the vehicle,” Mr Wulf said.

“She held the driver’s head up so he could breathe; they both did an incredible job.”

Any witnesses of the accident are urged to contact Yarra Junction police with information on 5967 1104.

In brief Dealer cars take beating A DRIVE-BY shooting of a different kind has police on the hunt for a ute-driver, who damaged several cars last week with a nail gun.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said between 2.50pm and 3pm on Wednesday 5 August, a white ute with a single cab drove past Nissan and Toyota dealerships on Maroondah Highway, Lilydale.

Det Sgt Barrow said a nail gun was fired out of the car, damaging several of the cars in the car yards.

Anyone with information, or who may have seen the incident take place, is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to file a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Assault probe underway POLICE are still investigating the circumstances of an assault last week, which left a Boronia man in hospital after he was hit with a tomahawk.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said between 11.10pm and 11.30pm on Sunday 2 August, four men got involved in an altercation with the occupants of a Cave Hill Road, Lilydale property. “(The altercation) was inside a residence and spilled out into the driveway area,” Det Sgt Barrow said.

A Victoria Police spokesperson told the Mail that a 30-yearold Boronia man was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, after he was hit in the back with a tomahawk.

Police were at the scene of the alleged assault into the afternoon of the following day.

Det Sgt Barrow said a darkcoloured tradesman-type ute with chrome bars in the back was seen at the scene, and asked anyone who may have witnessed the incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to file a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au Theft from vehicle: man arrested A LAUNCHING Place man will face court this week after being arrested by Yarra Ranges police officers last week.

The 23-year-old man was arrested and remanded in custody last week, in regards to a theft from a motor vehicle in Mooroolbark and deception matters at Westfield Knox Shopping Centre.

The man will face court on Tuesday 11 August.

Tony Smith appointed as Speaker

Tony Smith, speaking at the Warburton RSL, is now the Speaker of the House of Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Representatives. 142859

CASEY MP Tony Smith has been elected as the 30th Speaker of the House of Representatives in Canberra.

Mr Smith, who has held the seat of Casey since 2001, was voted in to the role with 51 votes to 22, in a partyroom meeting on Monday 10 August.

Speculation was rife in the week leading up to the vote on who may take over from former Speaker Bronwyn Bishop, who resigned amid an expenses scandal, with Mr Smith the frontrunner for the role.

After being dragged to the chair, as is tradition, by Deakin MP Michael Sukkar and Robertson MP Lucy Wicks, Mr Smith told the Parliament that he would give all members “a fair go”.

“I want to say at the outset, I will give a fair go to all on the floor of this chamber,” he said.

“But, in turn, I do expect a level of discourse that reflects that.”

He said discussions in Parliament should be “robust”, but not “rude” or “loud”, and

that he sought to improve the manner of debate on the House floor.

Mr Smith said that, with his taking up of the new role, he would not attend weekly Liberal partyroom meetings, which had been a point of contention under Ms Bishop’s speakership.

“It is my view that the speaker should not only be, but should be seen to be, independent of the partisan day-to-day fray,” he said.

“I think the decision is symbolic but also practical.”

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Melbourne Greens MP Adam Bandt and a number of other members made speeches congratulating Mr Smith on the role, with the latter expressing that Mr Smith had the Greens’ “full support”.

Mr Abbott was one of the first to congratulate the new Speaker.

“As the Speaker, you, sir, are the custodian of the traditions of this House,” Mr Abbott said.

“Your job is to maintain order in this House, by commanding the respect of both sides of

the chamber.

“I am confident, based on our friendship and comradeship going back some quarter of a century that this is exactly what you will do.”

Mr Shorten said that Mr Smith would bring the opportunity to restore “a role of independence to the job of Speaker”.

“Serving as Speaker is a privilege, not a prize - a responsibility, not a reward,” he said.

“You can make this a place where straightforward questions get straightforward answers, where the speaker manages debate without seeking to participate in it.”

The Mail contacted Mr Smith’s office last week, with questions about his potential Speakership, including whether he thought he would still be able to fairly represent the electorate of Casey if he took up the role.

Speakers, by tradition, are supposed to be independent of party politics.

However, neither Mr Smith nor a representative from his office responded to the Mail before deadline.

Letters Let’s do some more digging

Lenscape

IN RESPONSE to Graham Answerth’s letter (Mail, 4 August), the marriage alliance website (www. marriagealliance.com.au) is a great source of information for providing the answers you seek regarding equality and the issue of children (your other points being unrelated to marriage).

Most of the mainstream media is decidedly one-sided, making it necessary to do a little digging ourselves.

Regarding equality, we are all equal here, with the same restrictions placed upon us regarding marriage: we can marry someone of the opposite sex, we can’t marry someone who is already married or is too young; we don’t even have to marry.

Regarding children, we will readily deny a child a mum or a dad; will we be saying “sorry" to them for this one day?

So, with the attack on marriage at full swing, my call is to those who recognise its importance - please do something about it.

Federal Parliament has resumed, so today is the day to raise your concern!

Perhaps we ‘can’ go “kicking and yelling".

James Nolet, Healesville.

Floating hazards YARRA Glen Living and Learning Centre has announced a workshop and release date for illuminated candles inside glass jars floating across the village pond outside the supermarket, at dusk, on Saturday, 22 August.

This activity could generate a most delightful front-page colour photograph for the newspaper.

However, the size of sample glass jars shown in a Page 3 photo (Mail, 4 August) suggests, after this event, there will be lots of glass jars and loose timber scattered across the pond floor.

These objects will sink into the mud where yabbies and insects live.

The glass jars will be no fun for native birds or a platypus diving for food. This is not the way to try and establish a Community Fun Projects Group when the need for urgent lessons about Australia’s environment is so apparent.

AMID the cold and blustery conditions over the past few weeks, avid Mail reader Alex Gommes snapped this pretty incredible picture near Mount Saint Leonard recently. According to Alex, it was snowing while he was there, which clearly made for a fantastic spectacle. The Mail is asking all the region s passionate shutterbugs to get out in the amazing surrounds and email your images to editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au. Feel free to let us know about your inspiration behind the image, or photography techniques you may have tried.

Trail far from praiseworthy THERE is consensus from many I meet on the Warby Trail that the landscaping recently completed at North Wandin, Woori Yallock and Warburton is well done and appreciated.

But, unfortunately, it is far from practical.

No doubt the designer/architect responsible for the North Wandin ‘visitors node’ will be expecting a commendation.

But considering that no shelter, tables, toilets or water station have been provided - and the seating more suited to be on display at the

National Gallery - is of little value and offers no respite.

The next oasis is Woori Yallock, which fares a little better because water is available, but the shelter is basic and flat-roofed, with no wind protection.

The table and seating is available but, for some reason, none inside the shelter.

Toilets, I understand, are still on the drawing board, so having left the last amenity in Mount Evelyn, the weary traveller must stoically soldier on until respite is available in Yarra Junction, a distance of some 24 kilometres - ouch!

The last shelter is at trail’s end in Warbur-

ton, conveniently located next to the Cog Bike Cafe; it is a solid, newly renovated building with a pitched roof and concrete floor with seating but no tables.

The iconic ‘Warby Trail’ is a conduit into Warburton itself.

With plans in place to promote Warburton as a major tourist destination, it is of concern that the preparation and planning along the trail will not meet the expectations of the throng of new visitors expected.

Roy Commerford, Mooroolbark.

Cross countr y champion skiers LAKE Mountain is proving to be a rich vein for internationally rated cross country skiers with Olympic ambitions, and Don Valley’s Casey Wright is right up there with the best of them.

Casey is one of two Lake Mountain cross country skiers showing potential for the international arena having recently snapped up major Australian national titles.

Twenty-year old Casey and Kat Paul, 19, from Taggerty, recently won their first open women’s national titles at Perisher which Kat quickly followed up with a clean sweep at the Junior National Championships at Falls Creek on the weekend.

Casey’s younger brother Abe is also showing great promise after placing third in the juniors at Perisher.

Casey and Kat, who are ambassadors for the Lake Mountain Alpine Resort as well as training buddies and very competitive rivals, are now the hot favourites for the final open women’s national championships at Falls Creek on this weekend.

Both women have trained and competed in the United States and Europe where they held their own with excellent placings in international events in the US and Sweden.

Casey, who is currently ranked as the third top female sprinter in Australia, qualified for and competed in the 2015 Falun World Championships in Sweden where she placed third in the 5km qualifying race. She was also selected to compete in the women’s team sprint and was named in the first women’s relay in 20 years.

Kat was fifth in the US junior nationals in the skate sprint and finished in the top 10 in the 10km classic. In Europe, she was thrilled to place in the top 50 in the world junior championships.

Finn Marsland, High Performance

Ski champs Kat Paul and Casey Wright. 142836 manager for Cross Country Skiing with Ski and Snowboard Australia, said Casey and Kat, together with

Abe, had made a big step forward so far this season and had shown a lot of gain from the Sun Valley Ski Educa-

tion Foundation program they attended in Idaho.

He said the young women’s strong

form particularly would give them a timely lead-up to the 2016 world championships in Romania where Casey was hoping to compete in the under 23s and Kat in the juniors.

“They are tracking well for 2017 in Finland where we will see if they can progress to Olympic qualification standard for the Winter Olympics in South Korea,” he added.

In the 2015 Australian Open Championships and FIS-New Zealand Cup at Perisher on 25 and 26 July, Casey and Kat were the first women home respectively in the open classic and freestyle sprint events.

In a clear show of their dominance, and despite the blizzard conditions, they were also runners-up to each other. Their wins were the first time either had won an open national title.

They are now the hot favourites for the final open women’s national championships to be held at Falls Creek on 15 and 16 August.

Scott Gamble, manager at Lake Mountain Alpine Resort, said Casey and Kat were wonderful ambassadors for the sport of cross country skiing and Lake Mountain where they first learned to ski, almost before they could walk.

Both young women live and breathe cross country skiing and all the fun and friendships they derive from being with like-minded people, striving to achieve their athletic potential.

While their schedules are relentless, they both agree they wouldn’t want it any other way.

“Those blue bird days skiing on top of the Bogong High Plains make it all worthwhile for me”, said Casey while Kat added: “I hate the cold, so it can sometimes be an effort to train when it is snowing, wet and windy but, you make it work and when I am done, I feel great.“

Jumping school goes places ATHLETES from Launching Place Primary School will head off to Queensland on Friday to represent the school in the National Schoolaerobics Championships.

The school has a long and happy history of aerobics starting around eight years ago with 14 students to today when more than 40 per cent of students in Grades 3 to 6 take part.

Teacher and coach Candice Nyman introduced aerobics as a lunchtime club and it wasn’t long before teams were competing.

“We have sessions now before school and at recess and lunchtime to try to fit all the kids in,” she said.

The school did extremely well with seven teams qualifying for the State Finals and two, the Boys 5/6 and Girls 5/6, now heading off to the Nationals in Brisbane.

Ms Nyman said aerobics was classed as a sport, not a dance,

Jumping for the Nationals, front row: Sarah, Ashlyn, Maeryn and Sharelle, middle row: Ashley, Picture: ROB CAREW Casey and Holly and back row: Josh, Jack, Mason and Blake. 142490 and that the routines now, compared with when the school started competing, were much more intricate and demanding.

“I believe our kids are a lot fitter now than when started,”

she said.

“We have kids, even at prep level jumping around, copying the older kids and we hear all the time about how kids are jumping at home and practising on the

netball courts on the weekend.

“We’re a jumping school,” Ms Nyman said.

The competition starts on Saturday.

Feedback sought on fire fight plan DANDENONG Ranges residents are now able to view their 2015-'16 Fire Operations Plan (FOP), which identifies planned activities to reduce bushfire risk.

Local communities have assisted the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Parks Victoria fire management teams to develop the FOP, which is part of a threeyear rolling plan to reduce bushfire risk this coming summer and beyond.

The FOP is being displayed this month at www.delwp.vic.gov.au/ n ew s - a n d - a n n o u n c e ments/fire-operationsplans, before it is finalised late next month.

The plan includes details of proposed planned burns and other fire protection works like mulching, slashing and fuel break maintenance on public land for the greater Melbourne area.

DELWP District Manager Metropolitan, Dan White, encouraged residents to take action.

“We want locals to view the plan and understand the operations scheduled near them,” he said.

“The plan has been developed using local knowledge of the landscape, input from communities and uses bushfire modelling to target high-risk areas.

“If you’re near areas with a known bushfire risk like the Dandenongs, your involvement has and continues to be a critical part of our planned burning program.”

To make a final comment, email planned. burning@delwp.vic.gov. au; contact your local DELWP office and ask for the Fire Management Officer; call the DELWP Customer Service Centre on 136 186; or drop in to a Parks Victoria office.

New boss at HICCI helm

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS ALISON Gommers, a Healesville local for the last 13 years, is the new leader of Healesville Interchurch Community Care Incorporated (HICCI).

Ms Gommers, who was appointed Executive Officer at HICCI, has a history of community welfare roles including family and community services, mostly in local government, including Yarra Ranges Council and also community-based services within the shire.

“I enjoy project work where I have the opportunity to work in partnership with other agencies,” Ms Gommers said.

“I want to provide services to meet identified needs utilising and developing existing services.”

Ms Gommers noted she has a rather large learning curve stepping into this role at HICCI, but said it was a challenge she was happy to face.

“I am learning about who and how HICCI helps people,” she said.

Ms Gommers said she would spend time really get-

ting to know HICCI so that she could lead the organisation in an effective way.

“My focus is to learn what HICCI is and meet everyone involved; clients, volunteers, church leaders and congregations, committees, partners, sponsors, funding bodies and any other relevant party interested in partnering with us to help make a difference.”

“HICCI has an extremely dedicated and caring team of professionals to provide support, as well as providing a onestop shop of services such as financial, gambling and alcohol counselling and various other support services,” she said.

Ms Gommers has been appointed to the role after the departure of Kerri Goding, who held the role for more than 10 years. Ms Goding was farewelled from her role on Thursday 18 June after guiding HICCI for 11 years.

Taking up a job at the Yarra Glen Electoral Office of Eildon MP Cindy McLeish, Ms Goding said her work in liaising with the community was somewhat similar to her work at HICCI.

“It is a way to give people a voice - if they have issues or concerns, they can give us a call or come into the office and we’ll do what we can where we can,” she said.

Ms Goding has often been seen as one of the faces of HICCI, and has appeared in numerous articles in the Mail about the organisation’s projects and milestones.

Ms Gommers is aware of the legacy Ms Goding has left at HICCI, but is proud to follow in the footsteps of such a community leader.

“I have extremely big shoes to fill, and I know that Kerri was highly respected for her work and the care and pride she took in her role,” Ms Gommers said.

One of the more recent accolades HICCI recived was the Yarra Ranges Council naming HICCI as the Community Group of the Year in 2014.

Food donations of non-perishable items can be made to HICCI’s office at 231 Maroondah Highway, Healesville, next to the Memo Hall. Call 5965 3529 for more information.

Our bollards take a walk

By JESSE GRAHAM THE WARBURTON community remains mystified as to why four steel bollards were stolen earlier this year, and people with information are being asked to come forward.

In June, four steel bollards featuring cut-out images of animals were stolen from Thomas Avenue in Warburton.

The steel bollards had lightfittings inside, meaning they illuminated paths after dark, and were elaborately designed by a Yarra Glen artist, commissioned by the Yarra Ranges Council.

Jeff Gill from the Warburton Advancement League said the bollards, believed to have been installed in 2010, looked “great”, and that stealing them would have been an effort for the thief.

“Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to get them out,” Mr Gill said. “(They were) bolted onto the light fixture and cemented into the ground.

“I reckon they’re going to go to a market or be sold in some way.”

Warburton Police Senior Constable Tony Pagels told the Mail last week that the bollards were worth about $2000 apiece, with four installed in the area where they were stolen.

$

Residents have since contacted the Mail with photographs of similar-looking bollards around the town.

The Mail contacted the Yarra Ranges Council to ask how many bollards similar to those stolen had been erected around the town, but a spokesperson was unable to immediately confirm the number.

The spokesperson told the Mail that four bollards had been stolen, with images of a bat, a frog, an eagle and a platypus on them.

The Thomas Avenue bollards featured images of native birds and animals, and were

“distinctive”, according to Sen Const Pagels.

“They are so distinctive, someone will see them somewhere and hopefully dob them in,” he said.

Snr Const Pagels said that removing the bollards would have required a grinder or other machinery, in order to cut the steel from its ballast.

Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity or who has information on the stolen bollards is asked to call Warburton Police on 5966 2006 or to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

The 12 Yarra Valley women, who raised thousands for Cambodians at a retreat last month.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Helping out in Cambodia

By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Valley women banded together to raise thousands for disadvantaged families in Cambodia last month, as part of a 10-day retreat.

The 12 Yarra Valley women embarked on their trip to Cambodia from 7-17 July, which was organised by personal trainer, Michelle Redman.

Though the trip contained yoga and meditation, massages and treatments, the attendees were all required to raise at least $200 to undertake compassion work in Siem Reap.

Attendee, Karen Meuleman, said in an email that the

group of women raised almost $10,000 - much more than their minimum $2400 - which was disbursed to different community projects.

Some of these projects included building flood-proof housing for a family, buying and assembling six wheelchairs for landmine victims and providing resources for 50 children to attend summer school.

Ms Meuleman said that Ms Redman “worked tirelessly” to put the retreat together, in partnership with Cambodian NonGovernment Organisations (NGOs).

“She made sure that we all

had an experience, rather than just a holiday, with a range of diverse activities that took us out of our comfort zone at times,” she said.

“For me, it was a wonderful feeling to know that while we were having a fantastic time in a luxurious environment, we were also ensuring that our visit had a positive impact for the Cambodian people.”

She said that a highlight was to work with the local people and learn about their lives, and that all of the work undertaken was done with the aim of helping make “positive long-term outcomes.”

Funds in aid of Africa

Encounter can be a lasting one

By KATH GANNAWAY SOME of the Yarra Valley’s finest boutique wines will be on offer at the Gruyere Cheese and Wine Encounter in Gruyere on Saturday 22 August.

The much-anticipated event is held every two years to raise funds for the local primary school and the local hall.

If attendance at the local primary school is any indication, Gruyere can truly claim to be the heart of the wine and viticulture industry in the Yarra Valley.

Well over half of the students at the school have parents who are winemakers or viticulturists, and all six wineries taking part - Coldstream Hills, Coombe Farm, Giant Steps, Thick as Thieves, Trellis and Yeringberg - have a child at the school.

The cheeses will feature some of the best from the Yarra

Ready for the 'Encounter' from left, Xavier Mende (Coombe Farm), Luke Houlihan (Trellis), Sandra de Pury (Yeringberg) and Kylie Ammerlaan (Coldstream Hill). 142631 Picture: ROB CAREW Valley Dairy and Coldstream Dairy as well as top class cheeses from further afield.

Spokesperson Ann Kennedy said GCWE15 was a community-wide event, with visitors to the Yarra Valley also welcome to join in.

who are new to the area to enjoy some of the area’s wonderful wine and food and to meet their neighbours,” Ann said.

Raffles and an auction starting around 8pm add to the fun, and to the funds, which will help purchase equipment for the school and the hall.

Bookings are encouraged on 0409 887 195.

A FUND-RAISER to send Kenyan children to school will be held this Friday in Healesville, and residents are invited to come along and help others and get fed along the way.

Yarra Valley resident, Esther Rijk, will run the Keen for Kenya fund-raiser at Healesville’s Sanctuary House Motel this coming Friday, 14 August, from 6.30pm.

The fund-raiser aims to raise money to send children from the Kibera slum in Kenya to a boarding school for their secondary schooling, which costs about $4200 per student.

“There are no good, quality boarding schools, or schools of any kind in the slum,” Ms Rijk said.

“Unless they travel and board, they don’t really have a chance to attend a quality high school.

“So that’s the main focus of why we send them quite far out from home, is to get them into an educational environment and give them the best chance at a brighter future.”

142780

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM The fund-raiser is not the first for Ms Rijk - she has visited Kenya four times in previous years, heading over to the country each January, and has run fund-raisers through the Rotary Club of Greater Melbourne in the valley in the last two years.

But this is the first being run under The Kickstart Project Inc, a formalised body to raise money for the children’s scholarships.

At the Sanctuary House event, attendees pay $50 per head for a two-course meal, and will be able to take part in auctions - one silent - a raffle and have music performed live throughout the night.

Some of the prizes on offer in the auction include an accommodation package on Hamilton Island, some wine from Yarra Valley wineries and art from the valley and from Africa.

Ms Rijk said that fund-raisers in the past had raised almost $10,000 for the Kenyan students, and that she would like to achieve that goal in the upcoming event.

“If we could hit that huge figure, that would be incredible,” she said.

“There is no specific target, just as much as possible.”

visit is to test a revolutionary artificial intelligence named Ava. An entrancing slow-burn, Ex Machina constantly compels you to question the motivations of its characters, as unsettling details about Ava’s “life” gradually emerge.

Isaac is both genial and unsavoury as Nathan, and Gleeson is engaging as a young idealist who schemes for Ava’s freedom yet questions if her thoughts are real (and tries not to fall in love with her).

Vikander delivers a riveting performance of elegant precision as the android Ava. She

P-platers can be high risk Stats tell the story

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS STATISTICS from Aust Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development: The highest period for risk is shortly after being licensed, and continues up to age 24; In fatal crashes, young adults usually die as an occupant of a vehicle (77 per cent), and often (67 per cent) in single vehicle crashes; In 2012 there were 273 deaths by road accident of people aged 15-24; In 2012, 64 of those 273 road deaths occurred on roads in Victoria; In the years 2008'12 fatal, road accidents for people aged 15 to 24; 67 per cent were single vehicle accidents and 33 per cent were multiple vehicle; Defining ‘nighttime’ as 9pm to 5am, these crashes account for around 28 per cent of all fatal crashes, but approximately 40 per cent of crashes involving the death of young adult.

P-platers are at high risk. 142892

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS IT IS well-known that P-platers are at a higher risk of having a car accident in the first six to 12 months after they get their licence.

The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) states that new P-plate drivers are 33 times more likely to be involved in a serious car accident than L-plate drivers.

So, what can parents and

Picture: TAC guardians do to reduce this risk of young and inexperienced drivers getting into trouble on the roads?

The best course of action is to still be involved in your kid’s driving education after they pass their driving test and you hand over the keys.

There are many risk factors that contribute to young drivers having accidents on the roads and most of them can be ad-

dressed by continuing to be involved in the education of young drivers.

The inexperience of P-plate drivers combined with things such as driving with passengers, driving in poor weather conditions, driving when tired and so on can all increase the likelihood of a younger driver being involved in a serious accident.

MUARC has many suggestions on how to combat these

risks such as discussing the responsibilities of being a safe driver as well as a safe passenger and driving to the conditions of the road rather than to the suggested speed limit.

While these all seem like common sense measures, it’s important for parents and guardians to realise that all inexperienced drivers are at some level of risk of having an accident and driver education does not stop when they get their P-plates.

It can be as simple as taking a drive with your child from time to time to check up their driving habits, or being open to picking them up when they should definitely not be driving.

It is both the responsibility of the young driver and their teacher to understand that learning to drive in varying conditions takes a long time and both parties need each other’s support to get the balance right.

Know your local Principal Little Yarra Steiner School’s ongoing growth It’s been quite a journey through which the school has travelled since its earliest days back in 1986, where it started in a hall in Wesburn, before moving to its picturesque location in Yarra Junction.

It’s now a well established K-12 school retaining its community feel and beauty so characteristic of Steiner education.

Whereas in the Kinder years, the space STEINER SCHOOL has the quality of stepping into a magical enchanting realm, in the High School 205 Little Yarra Road years, one senses the active engagement of Yarra Junction striving to understand the world in which tel. 5967 1953 we live. he management structure at the school is not one encoutered in more traditional settings, in that there is no principal role at the school, but rather various responsibilities are held by diferent individuals.

Jean-Michel David, the education administrator, mentions the importance of an active and strong collegiate of teachers who work together to deepen their understanding of the needs of each student within the context of the school.

www.lyss.vic.edu.au

Little Yarra

new classrooms under construction he school operates its own buses from East Warburton, Belgrave, Cockatoo, Mt Evelyn and Healesville, with most of the students coming from the local Yarra Valley. A number of families have moved into the Valley in order for their children to be able to more easily access the school. In some cases, part of the motivation has been the outstanding music and sciences ofered by the school, in other cases the community feel and the nature of the education itself.

Educationally, the school uses the national Australian Steiner Curriculum framework to guide its teaching material in years 1-10, and in years 11 and 12 a selection of VCE subjects, in addition to a range of core lessons, are on ofer. Also of note is the possibility for year 12 students to undertake an independent project for which the school has now had a decade of experience, and is a leader nationally. he school will be having a VCE information evening on hursday the 27th of August at 7:30 pm.

I joined Upper Yarra as Assistant Principal in 2009, so my introduction to the Valley was during the bushfires. During this time I had the chance to see what resilient young people make up our school community. I have been in the Acting Principal role since the end of 2013 and I enjoy the strong sense of community we have within the beautiful rural setting, and have enjoyed building strong connections with many of the families in the area. The school has over 500 students and offers VCE, VET and VCAL with a rich mix of options open to students. Upper Yarra prides itself on catering for the individual needs of students and ensure we offer students options to develop a strong sense of curiosity, a chance to discover their talents and promote a positive approach to learning. The school offers excellent teaching and learning programs to build students’ interest and improve their outcomes.

Programs for Years 7 & 8, such as the Future Learners Inquiry Program –FLIP, which allow students to explore areas of interest whilst building essential skills for the future. The whole school focus to improve student literacy, a core element to all learning programs, means teachers at Upper Yarra are highly trained in the delivery of Literacy development and the use of technology which provides a rigorous but really engaging learning program for all students. As a school, we value the strong relationships between, students, staff and the local community.

Darren Trippett Since joining Yarra Hills Secondary College in 2012, College Principal Darren Trippett has overseen the largest transformation in the school’s 53 year history. Darren came to Yarra Hills with over 25 years’ experience, much of that in leadership at the acclaimed Vermont Secondary College. In 2007, Darren was individually recognised as a ‘High Performing Young Leader’ by Professor Brian Caldwell, former Dean of Education at the University of Melbourne, being chosen to represent Australia in the International Network for Educational Transformation, International Conference in Beijing, China. After initially assuming the Campus Principal role at the Mt Evelyn Campus, Darren soon moved into the position of College Principal, which he has held for the last two years. In his time at the helm, Yarra Hills has completed a $20 million rebuild of the Mooroolbark Campus, as well as significant improvements at Mt Evelyn. Along with this, a renewed focus on school values, aspirational goals and ground breaking online curriculum development has led to great interest in the school from the local community. Indicative Year 7 enrolments for 2016 are at the highest level since 2002, with similar demand for existing spots in other year levels. Darren says “I believe that we have a great deal to offer prospective families, and we are working hard to continue to improve in all areas to become the school of choice for the local community”. He says it is certainly challenging, but a very rewarding experience seeing the school transform under his guidance.

Know your local Principal Dixons Creek Primary School

Dixons Creek Primary School has just celebrated its 140th anniversary. I have been principal of this school for the past twelve years. Over this time the school has grown from 18 students to a current enrolment of 94. I have higher university degrees in the fields of leadership and special education. My teaching experience includes roles such as: Special Education Teacher, Reading Recovery Tutor, Early Years Trainer and Integration Teacher. Until this year I was a teaching principal with my own early years class. This year I assist throughout the school as needed.

Our school priorities are: mental health and wellbeing, the teaching of Mathematics, integration of Information and Communications Technologies throughout the curriculum, personal development and improving student engagement. This year we have registered as a ‘Kids Matter’ school and have appointed a chaplain to work in the school. We have begun a comprehensive P-6 Sexual Education program and will trial a Drug Education program in Year 5 and 6 this year also. I believe strongly that children need very specific life skills education to cope with such a complex and demanding world.

Our School Council lead a committed and positive group of parents. There are many ways to be involved in the school day and through our ‘Kids Matter’ surveys we hope to identify ways we can be more inclusive of the entire Dixons Creek community.

Danny Hyndman has been principal at Woori Yallock PS for the last 5 years.

We invest heavily in high quality professional learning for our teachers to be the best they possibly can be so that our students all have fantastic learning experiences at school. The rapid improvement in the school has been exciting and has also led to a Earlier this year our school was identified as being in the top 59 in Victoria and top 300 in Australia for learning growth.

This year Mount Lilydale Mercy College celebrates 40 years of co-education. In response to a request from the Catholic Education Office to meet the growing demand for boys’ secondary education in the area, the Sisters of Mercy were approached and agreed to change what had been a girls’ day and boarding school since 1896 to become a Year 7 – 12 coeducational secondary College. In January 1975, 144 boys were enrolled. In the initial years the ratio of boys to girls was 1:5 in the senior classes and by 1981 the primary classes had been completely phased out, facilities expanded and the ratio of boys and girls equalised. By the end of the first decade Mount Lilydale Mercy College was recognised as a prominent Catholic College serving the needs of families from Ringwood to the Yarra Valley and surrounds. It is now recognized as a centre of educational excellence with an enrolment in excess of 1460 students.

The College aspires to be a vibrant learning community in which each individual is encouraged to strive to achieve and be of service to others. An extensive range of co-curricular programs are offered to complement the learning and teaching offered by professional and dedicated staff.

I am honoured to have been welcomed and to serve a community that aspires to be so much.....more. Philip A Morison - Principal

WOORI YALLOCK

VIEWS FOREVER AND A GREAT HOUSE PERCHED high on the hill, this great family home is position perfect, has accommodation for everyone and has the bonus of absolutely superb views across the valley.

PICTURE yourself sitting on your large front deck, sipping a cuppa, entertaining your

friends and being the envy of them all with this stunning outlook.

The house has accommodation covered with four bedrooms, a lovely lounge with wood fire, a great sized galley-style kitchen and adjoining dining room that has doors opening to your rear undercover decking and outdoor entertaining zone.

The back yard is flat and offers space for the pooches, the kids and even the chooks

if you so desire. Bedroom four is accessed downstairs (ideal for teenagers or in-laws), and the whole house is serviced by natural gas ducted heating, has new carpets and is ready for its new owner.

It even has a lock-up garage for your car.

Now with all of this, strolling distance to public transport, a nice walk to the Warburton Trail, local shops and primary school, this property is one not to look past.

HEALESVILLE go-getter Emily McKie has been rewarded with a $10,000 scholarship for her work with junior female footballers.

In an incredible achievement, about 200 junior girls from the Yarra Ranges region are now regularly participating in the sport, in part due to Ms McKie’s efforts.

Her efforts have included co-ordinating competitions and helping to establish teams at Under 12s and Under 16s level.

On top of all that, she also coaches a Healesville-based junior team and fulfils a role with AFL Victoria, which includes fostering junior participation.

Subsequently, she has been named winner of this year’s LGPro Sally Isaac Memorial Scholarship.

The award is offered for women 35 years and under, who demonstrate achievement and commitment to improving community life.

Ms McKie, a Carlton fan, said it was an honour to receive the award.

“Being involved with sport is something I’ve always enjoyed,” she said.

“I like to ensure all kids get a chance to participate in sport.”

Ms McKie was selected from a pool of nine nominees, whose efforts had seen positive changes across Victoria through local government programs.

As the winner, she will receive a $10,000 educational scholarship to put towards her study.

Presently, Ms McKie is fulfilling her role with AFL Victoria and plans to complete a Bachelor of Teaching, with a focus on outreach and commu-

Scholarship winner Emily McKie is making a positive difference to community life. 142746 Picture: PETER DOUGLAS nity education.

The Yarra Ranges community has benefited greatly from her work, which has included establishing teams in Healesville, Yarra Glen, Ferntree Gully, Mount Evelyn and Healesville.

Ms McKie said she couldn’t be happier in her role with AFL Victoria.

She said some of the ben-

efits had included chauffeuring around some modern-day stars, including former Collingwood star, Luke Ball.

The scholarship was established in memory of Sally Isaac, who died too young in 2009 after a 12-month battle with cancer.

Ms Isaac worked with the Victorian Local Governance Association, before joining Yarra City Council in 2003.

A ONE-OFF concert held in Narbethong last month has raised $3500 to help Nepalese communities affected by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in April.

The acoustic concert was organised by Narbethong resident Diane Gaylard as the disaster in Nepal brought back memories of the fires that tore through her local area in 2009.

“It was from my concern about the Nepalese people, having gone through such a disaster and having gone through the bushfires ourselves in 2009, knowing that it takes a lot of resources to recover,” Ms Gaylard told The Mail in July.

About 130 people attended the event which showcased the diverse musical talent of local artists along with photos of Nepal and Nepalese music.

Ms Gaylard extends her thanks to all those who were involved in the concert, and said the event would not have been successful without the support and assistance of everyone who lent their time to the fund-raising effort.

Ms Gaylard would like to especially thank the following organisations and individuals for their generosity, commitment and time:

Boys and girls out to play

By KATH GANNAWAY WAS there ever a better time for aspiring young cricketers to step up for Australia?

MILO Cricket is a great introduction to cricket for boys and girls from five to eight years of age with the emphasis on fun, building skills and developing a love of the sport.

Wandin Junior Cricket Club is running the MILO program and is also looking for players for their Under 12, 14 and 16 cricket team for the 2015-'16 season.

The club has an impressive history, starting in the mid 1870s, but it’s been hard work at times keeping the numbers up.

The club had no juniors for a few years, but started to re-

build two years ago when with the help of the Wandin-Seville Bendigo Bank they fielded an Under 14 team.

This year they are hoping to get Under 12s and 16 teams up as well.

The MILO program is an-

other positive step towards rebuilding the junior teams.

Registration is this Friday 14 August at the Wandin Cricket Ground in Clegg Road at 5pm.

Slipper y finish to race meet

By JAMES LAVIN DESPITE the arctic-like cold and muddy conditions, Yarra Ranges athletes turned out in droves to face the fresh and challenging inaugural Coldstream Cross Country Challenge.

The special event - featuring obstacles, challenges and a slip-n-slide finish - was held to celebrate the highly successful Cross Country season, which has produced many high quality results and countless personal bests.

Despite the adverse conditions, the faithful Yarra Ranges Athletics family embraced the event and, from the smiles on their faces, showed it was a success.

Thanks go to all who offered assistance and support to the event, ensuring its smooth running.

THREE Healesville junior teams this week travelled to play their elimination finals at Olinda.

The Under 12s Girls took on Yarra Glen, which had previously beaten them by 80 points.

Yarra Glen got off to a quick start with an early goal, but the Healesville girls worked hard and locked down the ball in their forward line for the next two quarters and went into the halftime break with a 5-point lead.

The girls did a fantastic job of shutting down the Yarra Glen playmakers for the middle two quarters, but Yarra Glen hit back in the final quarter with three quick goals.

However, the Healesville girls held on for a fantastic win by five points.

The Under 11s had a hard assignment against Upwey.

They worked hard, but just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convert the opportunities on the scoreboard.

Upwey went into the halftime break with an 18-point lead.

Healesville had much of the play in the third quarter, but could only manage one goal.

Upwey continued to play their running game, which Healesville couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain, and ran out eventual winners by 38 points.

Monbulk got off to a quick start in the first quarter against the Healesville Under 16s, with

Fine skills on display

By JUDY ORREN Division 1 Seniors Healesville 14.15 (99) d Warburton Millgrove 10.8 (68) IT WAS an entertaining first half as there was little separating the teams. Healesville led by just two points at the first change and by just five points at the main break. Healesville broke the shackles in the third quarter and, despite all Warby’s hard defensive work in the first half, they just couldn’t maintain that effort. Healesville booted 7 goals to 1 to race to a 44-point lead at the final break. The last saw Warburton battle out the game to the final siren, and they did in fact outscore Healesville 4 goals to 2, but it was always going to be a Healesville victory.

Healesville best players: B. Miller, D. Anderson (1 goal), A. Davies.

Warburton Millgrove best players: B. Murphy, L. Barnard, T. McKail (3 goals).

Monbulk 17.10 (112) d Belgrave 8.12 (60)

Monbulk put in a good four-quarter performance to run away with a 52-point victory over Belgrave. Monbulk led by 10 points at quarter time and then stretched that out to 35 points at the main break after a 6-goal-to-2 second term. The third quarter saw both teams score three goals, but it was Belgrave that had their chances to get back into the game. However, they were wasteful as they also booted seven behinds and Monbulk’s lead was 29 points at the final break. Monbulk finished full of run in the last as they booted 5 goals to 1 to win comfortably.

Monbulk best players: R. Savory (10 goals), T. Gromer, J. Major Belgrave best players: D. Bilston, D. Collins, J. McDermott Wandin 20.13 (133) d Mount Evelyn 10.11 (71)

Wandin set up their victory in the first quarter as they jumped out of the blocks and slammed on 8 goals to 1 to stun Mount Evelyn and led by 42 points at the first change. Mount Evelyn was a lot more competitive in the second term as they matched Wandin, with both sides scoring three goals apiece for the term. Wandin pulled away in the third as they really went on the attack. Mount Evelyn took something away from the game in the last as they managed to outscore Wandin 4 goals to 2.

Wandin best players: J. Myers, M. Fowkes (2 goals), M. Polkinghorne (2 goals) Mount Evelyn best players: R. Cowan, C. Carmody, J. Gardam Woori Yallock 12.11 (83) d Upwey Tecoma 10.8 (68)

Upwey looked to be up and about early as they led by 17 points at half time after a 7-goal-to-4 opening half. Woori Yallock regrouped at halftime and came out to play a more accountable brand of football as they slowly gained back control. They booted 6 goals to 2 for the quarter to turn their 17-point deficit into a 9-point lead at the final change. The last quarter was a tough battle, but Woori was able to withstand any challenge as they booted 2 goals to 1 to win by 15 points.

Woori Yallock best players: B. Monkhorst (5 goals), M. Lowe, T. Anderson Upwey Tecoma best players: L. Beacom, R. Hannagan (3 goals), K. Grenda Olinda Ferny Creek 27.18 (180) d Yarra Glen 7.6 (48)

Olinda was way too good for a struggling Yarra Glen as they thumped them by a massive 132 points. Olinda was in control from the outset.

They booted 6 goals to 2 in the opening term and followed that up with a 6-goal-to-1 second quarter to be 59 points up at the main break. Olinda went on their merry way in the second half, adding 15 goals to 4, with 10 of those goals coming in the last quarter.

Olinda Ferny Creek best players: N. Syme, G. Stevens (3 goals), L. Meadows Yarra Glen best players: L. Hoffman (2 goals), K. Hudson, B. James Division 2 Seniors Emerald 34.24 (228) d Alexandra 3.1 (19)

Emerald was a dominant force as they completely outplayed Alexandra. They booted nine first-quarter goals while holding Alexandra scoreless. They then booted 11 goals to just 1 behind in the second term to lead by an incredible 125 points at the main break. Things didn’t get much better for Alexandra in the second half, although they did manage to put three majors on the board. However, Emerald added another 14 goals to win and walk off the ground with a massive 209-point win.

Emerald best players: D. Volta, M. Dompietro (4 goals), J. MacKay Alexandra best players: S. Heveren (1 goal), N. Dundas (2 goals), T. Carter

Ryan Wilson (Wandin) takes a mark against Jarrod Gardham (Mount Evelyn). 142846 Pictures: GREG CARRICK Powelltown 17.21 (123) d Yea 4.9 (33)

A good all-round four-quarter performance from Powelltown as they put Yea away to the tune of 90 points. Powelltown led by 19 points at the first change and then really upped their work rate in the second term, booting 7 goals to 1 to jump out to a 60-point lead at the main break. The second half did see Yea defend quite hard and they did restrict Powelltown to 6 second half goals but they could only manage to add two goals to their score which saw Powelltown come away with a dominant win.

Powelltown best players: M. McLaughlin (1 goal), N. Moody (2 goals), G. Newing (2 goals) Yea best players: J. Mahon, C. Evans, T. Hearn Seville 8.6 (54) d Kinglake 5.7 (37)

Seville now sits one game clear in fifth spot after upsetting second-placed Kinglake with a 17-point victory. Seville was great early as they held Kinglake to no score in the first term while they booted 4.1 to lead by 25 points at the first change. Seville did control the tempo of the clash and although Kinglake did try their utmost, it was Seville that had all the answers and never looked like dropping this one.

Yarra Junction has pulled off one of the upsets of the year, downing Thornton Eildon by four points. The first half was a tough battle, but it was Junction that held the slight advantage as they went into the main break with an 11-point advantage. The third term did see Thornton with plenty of chances, but they could only manage seven straight behinds while Junction added 2.2 to lead by 12 points at the final change. The last quarter was a thriller as Thornton went on the attack. They scored 5.3 and looked as though they could steal victory, but Junction was able to score four majors themselves to hold on to a 4-point lead come final siren which sparked scenes of jubilation for their supporters.
