Video nice guy

By JESSE GRAHAM A VIRAL video asking young men to stand up against family violence has resulted in Yarra Junction’s Brendan Murphy being named Yarra Ranges Citizen of the Year.

Mr Murphy will today, Tuesday, 26 January, be awarded Citizen of the Year by the Yarra Ranges Council in a ceremony at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall.

The award comes four months after the release of a video, featuring members of the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League (YVMDFNL) asking all men to take a stand against violence against women.

Switching from player to player, the men in the video said that every week, a woman was killed by her partner or ex-partner in Australia - “by a man who should know better, with mates who should know better”.

“The only number of acceptable deaths from domestic violence is zero,” Mr Murphy said in the video.

The video was watched and shared thousands of times by Yarra Valley residents, their Facebook friends, and media outlets.

Speaking with the Mail last week, Mr Murphy said being named as the Citizen of the Year was “surreal”, but that, in an ideal world, the video wouldn’t be necessary.

“I wish I didn’t have to make a video like that, but it gets to a point where you feel like you need to do something,” he said.

He said the video idea came to him, after he had been watching a current affairs program about a woman killed by her partner.

“It was just a bit of a moment, because at the same time ... my daughter, who at the time was one-year-old, she’s just bouncing around on the floor,” he said.

“I just thought, geez, you know, you put your whole life into these children,

Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan with Citizen of the Year recipient, Yarra Junction's Brendan Murphy. 149155 and how heart-breaking to have someone rudely come in and ... it’s just such a waste of life.”

The next step, he said, was to find his platform.

“At the football, it’s almost hardly spoken about, to be honest, unless there’s a special round or something like that,” Mr Murphy said.

“I thought, rather than go to the club, to go to the league and get all of the clubs involved - because you’ve got so many young men listening, and it turns out those young men listening

were the ones sharing it, and liking it, and passing it on, and made it get much bigger than we ever thought it’d be.”

He said the impact of the video was that people saw their friends and teammates speaking out - and they listened.

“Listening to your friends saying it is a lot more meaningful than listening to a celebrity saying it,” Mr Murphy said.

“All respect to celebrities that do say it - fantastic, because it’s a great message - but ... I think when it comes from people you know, it hits you in

the heart a bit.”

The success of the video saw Mr Murphy awarded $5000 from the Upper Yarra Community Enterprise to give to domestic violence services.

He said the money would be used for a secondary school competition, where students will be encouraged to make their own version of the antidomestic violence video, to share the message further.

He said a YVMDFNL round was also being organised to raise awareness of respectful relationships.

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan said the council had a “commitment” to ending domestic violence, and commended Mr Murphy on his award.

“There’s a great range of people, and Brendan getting the Citizen of the Year is great,” he said.

“What he does, and what he represents is just fantastic, and it’s good to recognise that.”

Book campaign

Briefly Dead body in crashed car

By JESSE GRAHAM A GROUP of friends and family are campaigning to sell thousands of books to support a Warburton author’s cancer treatment.

Penelope’s Purpose is a campaign organised to support local author, Jo Rothwell, as she undergoes treatment for stagefour cancer.

The purpose is simple: to give Ms Rothwell's book, Penelope’s Plume, the launch it deserves, and raise money to help her through the year.

Friends, Pip Young, Nic Fox and Penny O’Brien, along with Ms Rothwell’s mother, husband, sisters and nephew, got the project underway with a YouTube video, posted online this week.

Ms Young told the Mail that the book was released at the beginning of 2015, but was never properly launched, as Ms Rothwell was undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer.

Last year, Ms Rothwell was told that her breast cancer, which she had previously been treated for, had metastasised to her lungs and was classified as stage-four.

In the video, Ms Young, Ms Fox and Ms O’Brien hold copies of Penelope Plume, dressed in pink - the colour used to raise awareness of breast cancer (and the favourite colour of the

“She writes fantastic kids' books - they’re well-known throughout Australia, they’re on the Premier’s Reading List, and they’re awesome,” the group said.

Ms Young said the video was organised “behind Jo’s back”, to try and get support from the wider community.

“She (Ms Rothwell) hates accepting help of any kind, so we’ve been a bit naughty in doing this,” she said.

She said the group was hoping to sell 2000 copies of the hardback book, though they had 3000 copies on hand.

“That should support her for the rest of this year, in terms of treatment,” Ms Young said.

When contacted by the Mail, Ms Rothwell said the campaign was “humbling”.

“It’s just very touching,” she said.

“You have to deal with things you didn’t think you’d ever have to deal with, and to have people there beside you is very rewarding.

“I think I’m very lucky to have such brilliant friends.”

The video also lists a discounted price for the book of $15 plus postage.To watch the video, visit http://bit. ly/1nxoqRu. To purchase a book, visit www.rothwellpublishing.com.

Jeff’s done his little bit for 15 years

By JESSE GRAHAM A LIFELONG Warburton resident’s commitment to his town has been recognised by the council, with a community leadership award set to be bestowed.

Jeff Gill will receive the Ian Del La Rue Award for Community Leadership from Yarra Ranges Council at an Australia Day event in Yarra Glen on Tuesday 26 January.

Mr Gill’s award comes after “countless hours” of volunteering for groups in the Upper Yarra with his award citation paying tribute to his work with the Warburton Advancement League.

Mr Gill said the award came out of the blue.

“It came as a hell of a shock - I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

“I kept thinking ‘no, it couldn’t be a hoax, no one would be that cruel’.

“I’m over the moon.”

Describing his stint of 15 years with the Advancement League as “a small fry”, the group having existed for 63 years, Mr Gill said that getting involved in his community was a natural choice.

“I was involved in the chamber of commerce, now CEDA, for about 30 years and it just seemed like the right thing to do,” he said.

“You live in a town, you try to do your little bit.”

He added that he had been invited to the

Ian Del La Rue Award winner Jeff Gill at his print works in Warburton.

POLICE are searching for witnesses after a Yarra Junction man’s body was found in a crashed car in Croydon last week.

Just after 9am on Tuesday 19 January, a beige Nissan sedan with a registration of ROP 683 crashed into a concrete truck at the intersection of Mount Dandenong and Dorset roads.

When police attended the crash, they found the body of a 24-year-old Yarra Junction man in the front passenger seat, with a suspected gunshot wound that he may have received before the crash.

Victoria Police media officer Leonie Johnson said police were not treating the man’s death as suspicious, and would prepare a report for the Coroner.

The driver of the car, a 22-year-old Kilsyth man, received minor injuries in the crash - he has spoken to police and been released, pending further inquiries to possible traffic offences.

Maroondah Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) are investigating the incident, and police are asking for anyone who may have seen the car travelling between Launching Place and Croydon overnight on Monday to come forward.

Other media outlets have reported that the gun may have been in the rear of the car and discharged accidentally before the crash.

However, Maroondah CIU Detective Senior Sergeant, Graham Guy, said the circumstances of the man’s death would be determined by the Coroner.

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

Wanton destruction at racecourse WITNESSES are being sought after a break-in at the Healesville Racecourse over the weekend.

Healesville Amateur Racing Club’s John O’Neill told the Mail that sometime at night on Saturday 23 January, unknown persons got into the racecourse grounds on Healesville-Kinglake Road.

Mr O’Neill said a large horseshoe that read “Healesville Races“ had been broken into pieces, and the rail on the inside of the track had been broken to pieces.

groups by Mr Del La Rue himself, a proposal that was hard to refuse. “‘No’ wasn’t on Ian’s agenda,” Mr Gill said.

“If you got invited to a committee meeting, and you didn’t say the right word, he’d keep badgering you until you said the right word.”

Mr Gill said he was also part of the Yarra Valley APEX Club in the 1970s and ’80s, among other groups, and was now mentoring young drivers through the Yarra Ranges Council’s L2P program.

Now 62, Mr Gill also runs his own business, LG Gill Printers, in the heart of the town.

As for the future, he said he still had plenty of steam left for his groups.

“I don’t like change and I’ll keep bopping along and doing what we’re doing,” he said.

POLICE are calling for information after power tools, paint and building materials were stolen from a house in Warburton last week.

Between 4pm on Wednesday 20 January and 10.30am the next day, unknown people forced open the rear window to a house in Silvan Avenue, Warburton.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said the house was undergoing renovations and that power tools, paint and building materials were stolen from inside.

The stolen items were worth about $4100, and Det Sgt Barrow said police would like to talk to anyone who saw an older-model, white van in the area, possibly towing a trailer.

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

Hunt for light thief A LIGHT-HANDED thief is being hunted by police, after stealing an LED strip light from a car in Lilydale last week.

Between 1am and 2.05am on Thursday 21 January, two men are believed to have stolen an LED strip light from the front of an ute in Arwon Court in Lilydale.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said the light was valued at $150, and that a witness saw two men at the scene, one of whom got out of a ute and was seen entering a driveway.

The men were seen in a dark-coloured ute with two metal toolboxes on the back.

Chairs and temporary fencing had also been moved onto the track, and the contents of a bin were scattered on the track when members arrived on Sunday.

“It’s just pointless - I don’t get it,“ he said.

“They’ve been there for a considerable amount of time, and I don’t think they were 10-year-olds.

“It’s very disappointing, from the point-ofview of a volunteer club."

Mr O’Neill said the damage to the racecourse was estimated at $5000, and that police had been contacted to review CCTV footage and investigate the damage.

Real heat is yet to come JANUARY may almost be over, but the hot weather is likely to continue with some of our hottest days occurring in February each year.

If you live in a fire risk area, chances are you will have already practised your fire plan.

It’s never too late in the season to review your plan.

Make sure you and your family know what you’re going to do on a day of severe, extreme or code red fire risk.

As you plan for an emergency, spare a thought for the vulnerable people in your community, such as the elderly or those with a disability and ensure they are included in a plan, too.

It’s not just fires that can cause tragedy in summer, because heat can kill, too.

During times of consistently hot weather, make sure you adjust your behaviour – stay in cool places and drink plenty of water.

Make sure you also keep an eye on your elderly relatives and

As a paramedic, I have seen too many elderly people affected by the heat.

Some I have attended to have too many clothes on, don’t drink water, don’t cool their home and are still outside doing gardening in the heat.

You need to adjust your habits in the heat to survive.

This week we celebrate Australia Day and take the opportunity to recognise our local residents who have made a significant contribution to our community.

We also welcome 55 new citizens who will take the oath on Australia Day.

I’d like to congratulation the 2016 Yarra Ranges Australia Day Award recipients, who will be presented at a special ceremony at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall: Citizen of the Year - Brendan Murphy; Young Citizen of the Year – Chenile Chandler; Environmentalist of the Year – Jenny Saulwick; Ken McIntosh Memorial Award (Young Environmental Achiever) – Jasmine Andrews; Ian Del La Rue Award for Community leadership - Jeff Gill; Community Group of the Year – Yarra Valley Chrome Bumpers; Mayor’s Lifetime Achievement Award – Catherine Carr.

No appeal over ward restructure

By PETER DOUGLAS YARRA Ranges Council will take no action against recommendations to establish multi-member wards although councillors may continue to speak out on the matter.

After preliminary investigations during August and September last year, the Victorian Electoral Commission released its final electoral review recommendation on 25 November 2015.

It recommended a reduction of wards from nine to three, with three councillors representing each ward.

In a statement to the Mail, Acting Director Corporate Services Jennifer Bednar said there would be no appeal from the shire.

“Yarra Ranges Council will take no further action, as an organisation, on

believed the process was “flawed from day one”.

Their main argument was the omission of Mount Evelyn from the VEC Initial Report at the start of the preliminary stages, an error that was later rectified.

MEEPPA member Franc Smith said the initial omission caused great concern among the community.

“That omission, if not detected, had the potential to disenfranchise the fourth largest town in the shire,” he said.

Mr Smith insisted the group’s distress was as much about the process as the recommendation.

“On the public submissions night, there was an option ‘D’ dropped at the 11th hour,” he said.

the multi-member ward structure,” she said.

“This does not preclude individual councillors from conveying their thoughts/issues directly and on their own behalf.

“The Minister (Victorian Minister for Local Government, Natalie Hutchins) is also yet to sign off on the proposed structure.”

The statement comes as Mount Evelyn residents, ratepayers and the Mount Evelyn Environment Protection and Progress Association (MEEPPA) voiced its concerns over both the recommendations and the VEC process.

MEEPPA told the Mail it has formally appealed to Ms Hutchins over the recommendations because they

“We’re extremely worried.”

He believed many ratepayers have become disenfranchised.

“We believe that we have amply demonstrated serious shortcomings in this Electoral Representation Review and the process was flawed from day one,” he said.

“After all, what we are talking about here is the democratic election of the third tier of government and the people’s right to a transparent democratic process, which we believe has been seriously compromised.”

If Ms Hutchins signs off on the VEC recommendations, the three wards affected will be Chirnside, which takes in the urban areas of the municipality around Lilydale; O’Shannassy, which encompasses the Yarra Valley and Mount Evelyn; and Streeton, which

covers the Dandenong Ranges.

Mayor Jason Callanan last year expressed to the Mail his concerns with the recommendations.

Cr Callanan said the change meant he would be now be seeking re-election with councillors Jim Child and Fiona McAllister in a ward that covered the entire Yarra Valley, about 22,000 square kilometres.

“I honestly don’t know how it’s going to work, I really don’t,” he told the Mail at the time.

However, Mr Smith said he was frustrated over the inaction from Yarra Ranges Council.

“They’ve done nothing to educate the people,” he said.

“If Mayor Callanan said it wouldn’t work, why then has nothing been done about it, not a thing.”

THE Black Saturday remembrance cruise is on again this year with another spectacular display of resilience and commemoration from the community.

The event is on Saturday 6 February and will mark seven years since the Black Saturday bushfires devastated towns in the Yarra Valley and five years since the beginning of the cruise.

The cruise allows residents who were affected by this horrific natural disaster to show that their community is as strong as ever and that they have rebuilt and lost none of their pride of place.

The event displays the strength of the Yarra Valley communities while raising money for the local CFAs whose members give their time to protect and serve those communities.

The cruise will depart the Lilydale industrial car park at 3pm and conclude in Healesville railway precinct at 3pm for a remembrance ceremony at 5pm.

“We encourage people to come down and get involved in the remembrance ceremony, see the cars coming in along the highway and give what they can to helping fundraise for the CFA,” event organiser Stacey Kinsmore said.

Everyone, everywhere

My breath is fine, thanks

THE theme for Australia Day this year is ‘everyone, everywhere’.

Whether you’re in a city or regional area, it is important to come together to celebrate what is so great about being Australian.

I am proud to be the Australia Day Ambassador in Taree. Country towns are excellent places to travel to on this special day, as they really celebrate what it means to be Australian and so many come together in celebration.

I am reminded of a comment made by our patron and previous Governor-General Sir William Deane saying many years ago - “we as a nation will be judged by the way we treat our most vulnerable” and we have many vulnerable who are forgotten and isolated.

Australia, at its best, is how we come together at times of tragedy and loss.

This year, we have already witnessed the damaging effect of bushfires ravaging across Australia, destroying more than 100 homes and claiming the lives of several people.

These are times that test the spirit and strength of a nation.

Every time, Australians have pulled together to make a difference and helped those who have been affected by these disasters.

This Australia Day, I encourage you to spare a moment for the people that have given their lives and donated their time to fighting the recent bushfires and to think about what being Australian is about.

Fr Chris Riley, Youth Off The Streets.

IN RELATION to her letter to the editor (Help Liberate Charlie, Mail, 19 January 2015), Helen ‘Jessica’ Collins is not the only person who can speak and understand Cockatoo.

Helen’s extreme Bambi brigade views are as entertaining as they are wrong, in my humble opinion.

I speak to Charlie on a regular basis and he has never complained about my bad breath.

He has more class than that.

The other day one of his wild cousins visited him to say how much he is admired in the cockatoo world. The wild cockies are in awe of his safe and secure lifestyle, away from the perils and sheer hard work of survival in the wild.

Stanley R. Burgess, Healesville.

Leave Charlie alone I AM disgusted by the person who has felt it necessary to demand the release of Charlie the cockatoo in a letter to the editor (Help Liberate Charlie, Mail, 19 January 2016).

1. His cage is not too small.

2. He has lived there since a small bird and would be totally unable to live in the wild. I suggest you talk to the carers at the sanctuary for facts not fiction.

3. How dare you go out of your way to cause Charlie’s owner more heartache by writing that letter.

Gayle Slater, Toolangi.

Grants to build up men’s sheds THE Victorian State Government has announced $1 million in grants for the establishment of new men’s sheds and upgrades to existing ones.

Local councils and community groups can apply for either a $30,000 or $60,000 grant and priority funding will be given to locations in fire or drought affected areas.

Men’s sheds provide a space for men to connect with one an-

other and work on projects that benefit their local community.

“We are proud to support men’s sheds as they help enhance the physical and mental wellbeing of members, which has a positive impact on them, their families and the overall community,” Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos said.

The Badger Creek Men’s

Shed received one of the grants in November 2014 and Eildon MP Cindy McLeish said the community was strengthened by it.

“You’re bringing this whole little area back to life,” she said at the time.

Applications for the grants can be made through the Department of Human Services and close on Friday 27 May.

Panel to decide on spending TWELVE people from Yarra Glen will be selected to represent the community on a People’s Panel.

The group will help determine the best way to invest funds from the sale of the former Yarra Glen Maternal and Child Health Centre at 39-41 Bell Street.

More than 500 people, randomly selected from the electoral roll, will receive a letter inviting them to submit an expression of interest to participate in the panel.

From those expressions of interest, 12 people will then be selected by an external review panel, who will consider the demographic information provided to ensure the final panel best represents the Yarra Glen community.

An Advisory Committee has been established to lead and manage the process.

The panel will meet over three days in March to discuss how the proceeds from the sale of the site in Bell Street could be spent on capital works priorities in Yarra Glen.

The panel will then present the report to council for a final decision.

Yarra Ranges Director Social and Economic Development, Ali Wastie, said the Yarra Glen People’s Panel was an exciting opportunity for community members to help lead an important decisionmaking process.

Ms Wastie said it would ensure the money was invested into capi-

tal works projects that had broad community support.

“This is the first time we’ve seen a People’s Panel established to assist with an important local decision-making process, and I hope we see lots of enthusiastic community members put in their expression of interest to be involved,” she said.

“Of course, those who don’t get a chance to be part of the panel will also be able to have their say on capital works priorities through an online survey and a community forum to be held in late February.”

Farmers bale out mates in wake of bushfires

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS FARMERS from Gruyere have dug deep to help others affected by the bushfires that tore through South Australia in November last year.

The fires began on Wednesday 25 November and reduced the area north of Adelaide to a scorched wasteland.

Two people lost their lives, 87 homes were lost in the fire and about 90 people ended up in hospital.

The fires burnt out approximately 85,000 hectares of land; one of the affected towns was Roseworthy, about an hour north of Adelaide, where Gruyere farmer Rob Bennett has friends.

“My mates were hit by a pretty serious fire,” Mr Bennett said.

“They lost everything, all their possessions and their house as well. They are farmers so we did a bit of a collection here to try to help them out.”

Mr Bennett and his son Daniel run a hay baling contracting business and Mr Bennett approached his clients to see if they could spare a bale or two for those hit by the fire in South Australia.

The Bennetts collected 15 ton of hay from their clients and neighbours to be delivered to the fire ravaged property in Roseworthy; enough to feed 800-900 sheep for a few weeks.

“I want to thank everyone personally who donated to this – I know there are going to be lots of smiling faces when I get there,” Mr Bennett said.

Mr Bennett set out on the evening of Monday 18 January for the 13-hour drive to Roseworthy to deliver the hay.

He chose to deliver the hay himself so he could be sure it was going to those that needed it most.

“I would rather take the hay somewhere I know it’s going to be distributed fairly,” he said.

Merv Steer and Andrew Seccull were two of the farmers that donated hay to the cause and said they were happy to help other farmers in need.

“It’s always worth donating

to such a good cause,” Mr Seccull said.

“It’s about helping those guys out when they need it and, touch wood it doesn’t happen to us, we know they will help if we ever need them,” Mr Steer said.

Mr Bennett said farmers had a long, proud history of helping one another and this was no different.

“It’s about farmers looking after each other,” he said.

“We’ve been doing this kind of thing for more than 100 years.”

Mr Bennett would like to thank all the farmers who donated hay, including Merv Steer, Andrew and David Seccull, Colleen Gibon and Peter Burgi.

Gruyere based farmers Rob Bennett, Merv Steer and Andrew Succell have donated 15 ton of hay to fire affected farms in South Australia. 149184 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Andrew’s OAM shoe fits

By JESSE GRAHAM A WANDIN North man’s fascination with footwear and passion for his community has earned him one of the top Australia Day honours, being today awarded with a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).

Andrew Johns Fraser, 74, was today (Tuesday) announced as an OAM recipient, “for services to the footwear retailing industry and his community” by the Governor-General’s office.

A member of many different groups over the years, Mr Fraser clocked up more than 20 years with the Lilydale Chamber of Commerce, as well as 22 years as a director of the National Footwear Retailers Association where he also served as chairman and vice-chairman.

He told the Mail that he also spent 18 years in footwear manufacturing, then 32 more years in retail, working at Andrew’s Shoes - named after himself - with his two brothers until 2008.

He said the business was “thriving” until the 1970s, when the government of the time “opened the floodgates” to cheaper, overseas imports.

“We can do things just as well as anyone can overseas, it’s just that our costs are a bit higher,” he said.

Mr Fraser’s accolades extend far further than footwear, however - he was the Treasurer of the Answer Appeal committee for the Lilydale Bush Nursing Hospital, which helped to build the nursing home there.

He’s also been a committee member and volunteer manager at Wandin’s Golden Opportunity Shop since 2009, and a council member at St Paul’s Anglican Church in Seville, among other groups.

“It was fantastic to think that you put something back into your commu-

Wandin North's Andrew Fraser, today's OAM recipient. 149140 nity,” he said, speaking of the Lilydale nursing home.

“I think, if you live in the community, you need to be involved with putting things back into the community and that was one way to do it.”

Still working at 74, Mr Fraser

Picture: ROB CAREW

said he spent his spare time in athletics, competing for East Burwood and Croydon in sprints, javelin and discus.

Though his accomplishments spoke for themselves, Mr Fraser said he was “staggered” when he found out about his OAM.

“I never considered myself to be in that category, but there you are,” he said.

“Never, in my wildest dreams, had I thought I’d ever get the (Medal of the) Order of Australia - to get it is a real thrill.”

As for his Australia Day plans, Mr Fraser said he would spend the day with family and friends, celebrating his son’s 30th birthday.

DID YOU KNOW VOLUNTEERING MAKES YOU HAPPY? Studies show that people who volunteer have higher self-esteem, improved health, live longer and are happier.

Are you in the Yarra Valley during the daytime, week days, and able to volunteer?

These Yarra Valley CFA brigades are recruiting daytime firefighters: Gruyere, Seville, Hillcrest, Wesburn/Millgrove, Yarra Junction, Wandin, Reefton, Yellingbo, Hoddles Creek, Warburton and Little Yarra.

Are there some days, or part days, where you could be a volunteer?

Whatever time you have to offer, your local Brigade could benefit from your contribution.

Tune in to “All in a Day’s Work” on YVFM Fridays at 12pm

Meet Your Local Junior CFA The Yarra Valley has one Junior CFA Brigade, Hoddles Creek Junior CFA, whose members live in nearby towns.

Its members are 11 to 16 year olds and they meet twice a month for training with extra days/nights for camps and outings. They have fun with team building activities as well as learning practical skills like first aid and how to use CFA brigade equipment, including fire fighting appliances.

As a daytime volunteer firefighter, you only respond when you can to emergency calls during the day. Full training is given, after which you can respond to house fires, bushfires, car accidents and other emergency incidents.

Being a volunteer daytime firefighter is a rewarding way to help your community, learn new skills, work as part of a team, meet local people and ‘do your bit’.

WARNING: It may cause increased happiness.

Call 03 5961 5917 for more information and to apply.

All applications will be assessed as part of a selection process.

Listen in to Yarra Valley FM on 99.1FM on Friday 29 Jan at 12pm with Loretta de Vaus, to hear 16 yr old Lil Pagels from Warburton and 14 yr old John Landells from Seville East (pictured) chat about being a Junior CFA member and what’s in it for them.

Monbulk resident Jasmine Andrews will receive the Ken McIntosh Memorial Award for young environmental achievers, for her work at The Patch Primary School.

Yarra Valley Chrome Bumpers will receive the Community Group of the Year award, for their efforts in raising more than $52,000 for the Lilydale CFA through monthly car meetings.

Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan said the awards recognised the contributions of residents and groups to better the area they live in.

By JESSE GRAHAM A GROUP of inspirational Yarra Ranges residents will be recognised for their community work with Australia Day awards to be handed out this afternoon in Yarra Glen.

Residents from around the shire will receive awards and certificates at 2pm on Tuesday 26 January, at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall, as part of the Yarra Ranges Council’s annual awards.

Yarra Junction’s Brendan Murphy will receive the council’s top award Citizen of the Year - at the ceremony, for his work in creating a video that went viral. The video urged men to prevent violence against women.

The video features young men from Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League (YVMDFNL) clubs, who say that men who commit violence against women - and their mates - should know better.

Healesville’s Chenile Chandler, meanwhile, is set to receive the Young Citizen of the Year award.

Chenile’s award notes her work in sharing her Wurundejeri culture at Healesville High School, where she is one of the 2016 school captains; for her netball playing; for Aboriginal dancing performances, including at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony and Dreamtime at the G; and for working with other students on water filtration projects in Vietnam.

She said it was “an honour” to be named the Young Citizen of the Year, and that the nomination came as a surprise.

“I didn’t expect it - I’d read about it, but never expected to be nominated,” she said.

She said the Yarra Valley was a great place to grow up in, and that Wurundejeri history and culture was acknowledged and celebrated.

Geoff and Maggie Daish were awarded with a certificate for their work with the Healesville Workers and Social Club, and Golden Memories Program. 149155 Pictures: JESSE GRAHAM

Termites can be grouped into three basic categories: dampwood, drywood and subterranean.

Dampwood termites generally live in damp rotting logs or rot pockets in dead or living trees.

Drywood termites obtain water from the wood in which they live and have no contact with the soil, or with any other source of moisture.

Subterranean termites are generally ground-

dwelling or require contact with the soil or some constant source of moisture and are the main threat posed to timber in the built environment.

Termites build various types of nest.

Some termites have a completely underground existence, apparently without a central nest.

Examples include some species of Amitermes.

Others build a central next in the soil, or in dead or living trees.

Just keeping the support a-rockin’ out

By PETER DOUGLAS ROCKBERRY Jam promoters are urging punters to support the rock event or risk losing it for good.

Despite an encouraging turnout last year, the initiative is yet to turn a profit and a strong showing this year will be critical to its ongoing viability.

The Jam is now in its third year and again features a host of Australian rock’s favourite heroes, with Shannon Noll this year headlining much top talent.

Also on the bill will be ‘90s music legends Pseudo Echo, along with the voices of Boom Crash Opera (Dale Ryder), the Choirboys (Mark Gable) and Taxi Ride (Jason Singh).

AFL music-man Mike ‘Up there Cazaly’ Brady will also round off an impressive line-up.

Silvan Football Club President, Chris Maclagan, who is one of the driving forces behind the event, said the committee wanted to give this year’s event “a real crack”.

“All the feedback we’ve had is positive, it’s been phenomenal, I’ve not heard not one negative thing about this event,” he said.

“Financially, we’ve struggled a bit for the first year, come back a bit last year, but we really need to turn it around, otherwise it becomes unviable.”

Mr Maclagan said the committee believed a turnout of about 2000 people would be a

croydon

cinemas

pass-mark, while 2500 would be fantastic.

Finances aside, music-goers have had nothing but praise for the event and it’s not hard to see why, with such an incredible line-up.

“It’s a great day of Aussie rock,” Mr Maclagan said.

“There are other festivals at wineries around this area, but this is something different.

“It’s close, great value for money and everyone has a great time.”

Mr Maclagan encourages those interested to book their tickets online, which will make it more convenient for concertgoers on the day.

THE 5TH WAVE

THE DANISH GIRL NOMINATED FOR 4 ACADEMY AWARDS

By PETER DOUGLAS AN EMERGING musical brotherhood will be soon on show for the folk-rock fans in the Yarra Ranges.

After performing with some of the music world’s finest artists, including Bob Dylan and Nick Cave, Hills local Matt Walker is preparing to team up with his ‘musical brother’ Neil Murra y.

The pair will play a show at the Who Club in Warburton on Saturday, 13 February.

Walker and Murray only met last year after a chance meeting at a Sydney gig, but since then formed a close musical bond, which they are keen to share with local audiences.

Walker said their musical styles just seemed to click.

“We only crossed paths recently, just by chance, but I’d been a fan of Neil’s work for some time,” he said.

“We performed together and just got a great vibe going.

“His music traditionally has a great rhythm section that really drives the music, it seems to complement my work.”

Walker said the collaboration had seen them push each other in new directions.

“Neil plays a Gretsch semiacoustic which is really distinctive.

“He’s also been encouraging me to play more lap steel (guitar), which I haven’t done in many years.”

The musicians will both play solo, as well as together, and are planning to treat audiences with

some new collaborative material.

Raised in the Hills, Walker knows the local music scene as well as anyone.

He first picked up a guitar at age 14 and spent much of his musical formative years at the Selby Folk Club.

This passion soon evolved into 11 solo albums, countless shows and festivals, not to mention his work with acclaimed group, Lost Ragas.

In the band, Walker plays guitar and shares vocal duties with Shane Reilly (pedal steel guitar), while Roger Bergodaz features on the bass guitar and Simon Burke on the drums.

Walker said the Who Club’s renowned intimacy would provide an incredible experience for both the audience and musicians.

MELBOURNE’S BEST MOVIE PRICES 1214293-RC04-16

The Revenant and Carol Rated MA15+ and M (respectively) WE’RE doubling up again this week, covering a gruelling historical drama on one hand and a beautifully tragic romance on the other.

The Revenant is based on the true story of Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), an American frontiersman who is mauled by a bear and left for dead by his party, only to crawl 200 miles in search of vengeance.

The Revenant is barebones in its simplicity, but still riveting and phenomenally

suspenseful, and anchored by a fiercely driven, largely silent performance by DiCaprio.

Carol is a tender, heartbreakingly poignant film about a young photographer, Therese (Rooney Mara), who falls in love with a charismatic older woman named Carol (Cate Blanchett).

Carol has some of the most striking, subtly profound use of body language in years, and Blanchett and Mara have remarkable chemistry as two women gently yet passionately exploring their feelings for each other.

Both films have staggering atmosphere and are, in their

own way, about overcoming adversity.

You can practically feel the frigid landscape and Glass’s agonised determination in The Revenant. As the backdrop for the forbidden romance, Carol’s 1950s setting feels quaintly magical, but the film also distils the conservatism and intolerance of the time period down to an intimately personal scale, which increases our investment and boosts the tension.

Both films hinge on their stellar performances, and are duly recognised at this year’s Oscars.

Eagles dare - final bound OUTER East Eagles Under 16s Dowling Shield and Under 18s East Metro Girls have both secured spots in the Cricket Victoria State Championships grand final.

The past two weeks has been filled with the crack of bat on ball across Victoria as 16 Regions from all corners of the state have competed to be the State Champions.

Both boys and girls participated in three age groups, Under 14s, Under 16s and Under18s, playing a minimum of five games across the week on Premier through to club grounds.

In more recent times, the likes of Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Aaron Finch, Meg Lanning, Jess Cameron and Julie Hunter have come through the pathway to represent Australia at the highest level.

Throughout the respective competitions, it is expected to see the next generation of Victorian Bushrangers and VicSpirit who will come through the ranks to represent the state.

After months of training and trials, the Championships are the culmination of many hour of tireless hard work, not only from the representatives, but also from the many coaches, administrators, scorers, umpires, officials and parents to reach this point.

The Outer East Eagles have come through this year with great results, Under 18s Boys just missing in the live Quarter Finals, Under 16s and Under 14s girls both finishing fifth, Under 14s Boys losing two very close matches.

However, the take-aways have been enormous.

The Under 16s representative squad has secured a spot in the decider. 149307 And now to our two finalists, Under 16s ‘Dowling Shield’ boys who play Sunday, 31 January, at Geelong Cricket Ground taking on the undefeated Northern Rivers (Bendigo/Shepparton area) coached by Brendan Walsh, Jake Wigney and Jim Ahon who have led the boys professionally always with the philosophy that this competition is about making better cricketers and providing the players with the processes to be successful, which has clearly paid dividends.

The semi-final at Yarra Valley Grammar came down to nine wickets lost, three runs off two balls.

The last ball wasn’t needed as Liam Dunning took to the bowler, sending the ball back over his head and running three with partner Nicholas McDonald.

All players have contributed across the carnival and should feel very proud.

The Under 18s East Metro girls is a combined team with the Inner East who play on the MCG, 7 February,

game begins at 8am and entry is free.

They also take on Country favourite Mallee Murray Heat, Brendan Walsh, from Ringwood Cricket Club is assistant coach along with Tim Reid from Box Hill CC and Rebecca Carter, who herself has paved her cricket career through the pathways for the Inner East Emus.

Maddie Wright showed her experience with both bat (84no and 73no) and ball (best 2/8) through this carni-

val, captaining the girls strategically and maturely.

They played some high quality cricket across every game.

The youngest member of the group, Tess Flintoff, who has also just returned from Brisbane captaining the 12 & Under School Girls team to a silver medal in the national competition, was elevated to the Under 18s.

She batted in the top order confidently and contributed in each game.

Bowlers hit their straps as two-day play returns

By CHRIS ANDERSON TWO-DAY cricket made its longawaited return to the Yarra Valley scene.

With things tightening up in the run to finals, the three games in DJ Strachan Shield are evenly balanced.

Many teams will be viewing this stretch of two-day games as an ideal chance to fine tune their skills in the longer form of the game.

Woori Yallock has been the form team this season after tasting ultimate success last season.

They compiled a healthy 210 on day one against Yarra Junction, although the reigning champs didn’t have it all their own way.

Yarra Junction’s bowling attack tends to be an unheralded.

But they put the competition on notice as they pinned Woori Yallock back on the ropes right from the start.

Quinton Hodgkinson (3/46) has led his team from the front with both bat and ball this season, but his efforts haven’t always been rewarded in the way of wickets.

With his partner in crime, Nick Bark (3/52), the pair had the muchvaunted Tigers top-order back in the shed early as they reduced Woori Yallock to 4/40.

With the score at 7/118, the innings found itself on a knife’s edge and Yarra Junction would’ve been entitled to think they could restrict the visitors to under 150.

With some good fortune, an oppor-

tunity to knock off some of the runs before stumps.

With a batting line-up that goes deep, Dean Worlley (77) sensed his chance to lift his side from its slump.

With a combination of strong stroke-play and disciplined defence, he was able to lead his tail end partners in a brilliant rearguard action that netted the Tigers a further 92 runs in quick time.

Kevin Bomford (4/59) did his best to reduce the late-order damage with his spinners, but the Eagles would be disappointed they let their stranglehold slip.

Seville found the going tough this season with an inexperienced team, but they have been far from disgraced in their efforts, and this was again on show against Hoddles Creek.

The Blues batted first and it was their openers Matt Somdergeld (46) and Jake McInness (44) who put their team on the right track.

Unfortunately for both, they fell before making a score of significance and opened the door for Hoddles Creek to pounce.

Hoddles Creek captain Mick Batten (3/14) did his best to capitalise.

But the foundations laid by Sondergeld and McInness meant that despite losing wickets regularly for the remainder of the day, the visitors had momentum on their side, while the scoreboard continued to tick over.

The visitors were able to creep their score beyond the 200 mark to be dismissed late in the day for 219.

With the experience among the Hoddles Creek batting line-up, this game is right in the balance.

In the final game in DJ Strachan Shield, Healesville hosted Mount Evelyn, and the two teams battled out a day where neither side seemed to want, nor gain, a definitive edge in the game.

Despite some tight early bowling, Mount Evelyn seemed to gain the early ascendency, courtesy of a patient knock from captain Damian Cupido (40).

Mount Evelyn’s Achille’s heal over recent seasons has been their penchant for losing quick wickets and this was again evident as their stronghold wilted quickly.

At 6/112 at the tea adjournment, one wondered if they could muster enough resistance to push the score into dominant territory.

Healesville would rue their inconsistencies with the ball.

Despite taking regular wickets, the scoreboard continued to tick over for the visitors.

With some classy resistance from Gareth Fraser (53) and the remainder of his teammates, the Rovers were able to stretch their total to 191 before being all out.

In an even performance between all the Bloods bowlers, Chance Burridge (3/59) was rewarded for a long and consistent spell with the ball, while he was well-supported by new-ball partner Dermott Fry (2/35) and the unassuming Dylan Moore.

With the Rovers being dismissed

before stumps, Healesville had to see out a tricky period with the bat.

As is so often the case when you’re playing for time, the fielding side can squeak a few wickets.

Courtesy of a couple of strikes from Kane Jones (2/5), the visitors edged their noses in front of this contest at stumps as they had reduced the Bloods to 2/8.

The first hour of next week’s play will be crucial to the fortunes of both sides.

Yarra Glen bowls in BACK after the long break, the firsts have won one, lost one and are still holding their position of fourth place.

After a close loss to Hurstbridge 77 to 62 last week, they confidently bounced back, sealing a convincing win over Kingsbury this round.

However, Saturday’s thirds are having the greatest success with a fantastic win over Warburton last week 84 to 67; and another well-constructed match this week will see them fighting their way back up the ladder.

Tuesday pennant also came back from the break with the top side playing Ringwood at home, always a tough competition.

But they rose to the occasion and squeezed in the win while the second team went down by the narrowest of margins.

Congratulations to all players for the hard work and effort displayed as many members are playing in higher divisions and really giving it a good crack.

Warburton’s sunshine THE drizzly weather finally cleared to allow an uninterrupted afternoon of bowls for all Saturday Pennant teams.

Warburton 1 played another top-four side in Bayswater away and won well 83 to 62.

Rink scores were as follows: B. Woods 34/6, J. Brooks 15/18, P. Caneva 22/16 and S. Lee-Tet 12/22.

Warburton 2 played top side Lilydale at home and really lifted when it counted to record a great victory 100 to 64.

They need to keep up this form to play finals this season.

Rink scores were as follows: G. Wynd 26/17, P. McConachy 20/21, S. Mahoney 23/15 and M. Brennan 31/11.

Competition resumed on with several close games.

They play Chadstone 3 next week at home.

Warburton 4 played Edithvale at home and had a great victory 67 to 32.

Rink scores were: S. Freestone 13/28, G. Wynd 12/23 and R. Zunneberg 18/ 19.

The Wednesday Night Triples Bowls

John Pote’s 41 excellent points dominate at Warburton golf WEDNESDAY, 20 January: Stableford: winner: John Pote, with 41 excellent points.

The runner-up was ‘Mr Consistent’ Allan Hubbard with 40. Balls went down to 35.

The nearest the pins went to C.H. Brown (3rd), Lorenzo Erle (12th) and Steuart Hawke (17th). Thursday Twilight: This week, the winner was Kerry Slater with 23 points, which only proves the old adage, ‘beware the wounded golfer!’ The runnerup, on a countback, was ‘Shaggy’ Kempton with 21. The ball rundown extended to 18 points. The nearest the pins were as follows: on the 12th, star junior Django Ward, Chris Fall on the 13th and on the 15th,

Steuart Hawke.

On Saturday, the club held its 4th annual Australia Day ‘FUNdraiser’. What a fun day it was. The first year the club held this event, in 2013, there were about 60 playing (mostly members). This year, they had 120plus playing in the biggest field the club has hosted for many years. They came from far and wide. The club had guests from neighbouring clubs like Eastern, Yering and Eastwood. They had a full team from Beaconhills, captained brilliantly by Brian. There were even overseas guests from Ireland and the Netherlands.

There were many individual winners on

the day, but this day was all about a ‘team event’ under the guise of Ambrose 4s. Some teams struggled to make headway and two teams rated brilliant 14-under par ‘raw scores’ (they were captained by Paul Mason and Junior Cross respectively).

But there can only be one ‘nett’ winner, where the handicaps count, and that team comprised Ian Garside, Andy Lockey, Trevor Porter and a past member, Tim Jones.

They won with an unbelievable 49 nett score. Well done; also to the match committee and all the others who made this a great day for the club.

Motoring Schools benefit from safety road signs

The toppled digger was pulled back on its tracks about 11.10am. 149272

Slip-slidin’ away

By JESSE GRAHAM AN EXCAVATOR was looking worse-for-wear after slipping off the side of a truck on Friday morning in Healesville.

About 10am on Friday 22 January, the excavator was being driven onto the back of a truck on Mt Riddell Road in Healesville, when it slipped off the wet surface.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers were called out to the scene shortly before 11am and the road briefly closed to traffic while the excavator was pulled back onto its tracks.

Leading Senior Constable Chad Bullock said the wet surface on the back of the truck, with wet clay on the tread of the excavator, made it hard for the driver to manoeuvre the machine.

“He was manoeuvring it slightly to get it on, and it just managed to slide off - maybe because of the camber of the road ... and dropped onto its side,” he said.

“Everyone’s fine, nobody’s injured.

“We’ll put it down to wet weather.”

A towing company managed to get the machinery upright about 11.10am, looking bent in places, but overall intact.

Healesville and the Yarra Valley were hit by rain earlier in the day, with more rain and potential thunderstorms in the evening.

The digger came off the back of a truck in Healesville on Friday morning. 149272

THE Victorian Government has delivered on its commitment to improve road safety around three south-east Melbourne primary schools, with new electronic school speed signs being switched on for the first time this week.

Sixteen new electronic signs have been installed at Mount Dandenong Primary School, The Patch Primary School and Selby Primary School and will flash 40kmh during school speed zone times from 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm.

Mount Dandenong Primary School will receive a new school speed zone on the Tourist Road with four electronic signs to be operational during the school speed zone times - reducing the existing 60kmh speed limit to 40kmh.

The Patch Primary School has many families that access the school via an entrance on The Patch Road, which is a 60kmh road that is not part of a timed school speed zone.

From day one of the new school year, this section of road will be reduced to 40kmh during the school zone times with four flashing signs in operation.

Four existing static school speed signs on Kallista-Emerald Road will be upgraded to electronic signs.

Selby Primary School will also have four new electronic signs displaying the school speed zone on Belgrave-Gembrook Road from next week.

Monbulk MP James Merlino said it was a great outcome.

“We’ve made the roads around schools in Monbulk safer so that our kids come home safe and sound at the end of every school day,” Mr Merlino said.

“The Andrews Labor Government is committed to ensuring the safety of local children at Mount Dandenong Primary, Patch Primary and Selby Primary.

“We’re replacing existing static signs with flashing signs but we’ve also expanded and introduced new school zones where appropriate across these locations.”

Electronic speed limit signs significantly increase driver awareness to lower speeds and prompts them to take extra care.

“When school children are using footpaths close to the road, it’s important we lower the speeds during the school zone times,” he said.
