“Once again they are showing no regard for the umpire’s decision, and this has been hijacked by cheap politics,” he told the Mail.

He said the upgrade of the accommodation was based on discussions with council officers and was something promoted by council’s own structure plan.

Commenting on concerns about community consultation, he said it had been extensive.

“It cost me $20,000 to have experts and consultants there and to advertise, and we were lucky to have 10 or 12 people turn up.

“No-one cares any more about this,” he said.

Cr McAllister said there was a sense of sadness, frustration and disappointment that the current application was on most levels worse in terms of outcomes.”

“It most certainly does wind back most of the conditions won at VCAT,” she said.

“Imagine being one of those (neighbouring) properties,” she said listing issues around noise, odour and light pollution.

Cr Jim Child seconded the motion.

“The built form is over the top and that, with the lack of community consultation ... it just seems it has been taken for granted that it could go to VCAT,” he said.

Mr Alessi hit back at the criticism saying he had a permit and the changes were a ‘vast improvement’.

in the Industrial 3 zone. Other grounds cited for refusal include council noting that the market/lodging room building is visually obtrusive and doesn’t meet the objectives of the design and development overlay and the unacceptable amenity impacts around noise and traffic in relation to the take away food premises, and issues around removal of native vegetation and signage.

Mr Alesci defended the changes, saying the new plan was more responsive to new tourism market forces and got rid of the contentious car wash and self-storage.

Mr Anthony described the current application as a ‘super-sized’ version of the original that would wind back a lot of the concessions gained with the VCAT decision.

“I think this is a pretty bad deal for Healesville.”

THE development of the controversial ‘gateway’ to Healesville site will, once again, be decided by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

On its second time around, a reworked planning application for the development of the former sawmill site at 17-25 Maroondah Highway, was rejected by Yarra Ranges Council on 12 April.

The council refused the initial application in 2012, but following a 10day Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) challenge was directed in September 2013, to issue a permit.

That permit, including the 76 conditions attached, remains valid, however the owner and developer of the

site, Joseph Alesci, is seeking changes.

Anticipating a refusal of the new proposal, Mr Alesci opted out of the council process, taking the application to VCAT on the grounds that the council had failed to make a decision within the required time.

Ultimately, the council voted unanimously that it would have refused the planning application had the applicant not initiated the VCAT action.

There were 80 objections to the application, which was described at the council meeting by objector and Healesville Gateway protest group spokesperson, Chris Anthony, and the ward councillor, Fiona McAllister, as an even worse proposal than the first on a number of grounds.

Wings open to a new life

By JESSE GRAHAM A TWO-YEAR-OLD will have another chance at life, thanks to an operation organised by Rotary that saw him fly into the country and rushed into an operation to remove a 3.5 kilogram tumour.

Anton Da Silva from East Timor (Timor-Leste) was flown into Australia on 21 December, 2015, for life-saving surgery to remove a rare and aggressive tumour that had grown on his kidney.

The tumour, a clear cell sarcoma, had grown to 3.5 kilograms inside the then 22-month-old child, and was removed the next day.

Rotary Club of Healesville member, Graeme Chester, organised Anton’s flight over and surgery through the Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC), and said the trip was perfectly timed.

He said Anton had “severe” breathing difficulties, as the tumour was putting pressure on his heart and lungs, and the operation at Monash Medical Centre took eight hours and dive surgeons.

“They said if he didn’t have it (surgery), he would have been dead within 24 hours,” Mr Chester said.

Anton, who travelled over with his grandmother, Claudina, is now undergoing chemo-

therapy treatment, and is set to go home later in the year, if the treatment is successful.

The pair, along with Mr Chester and Rotarians, Marjolein and Russel Marknock, visited Healesville Sanctuary on Wednesday, 30 March, so Anton could meet Australian animals during his trip.

The group organised a Magic Moment, to get up close to Kangaroo Island Red Kangaroos.

Though Claudina fed the kangaroos and gave them a pat, Anton cuddled close to his grandmother.

Mr Chester said the tumour had damaged Anton’s lungs and heart function, and that he was on the mend, putting on five ki-

lograms since the surgery.

“Everything else, once they took it out, his lungs started working, his renal system’s working, his bowels, all that, came back to normal,” he said.

“Once they’re happy with the chemo, that hopefully got it all and there’s no sign of it, we’ll take him home.”

Anton and Claudina are staying in Wheelers Hill with Rotarians Dianne and Bill Sides while he recovers.

Children are brought to Australia by ROMAC to have lifesaving or life-changing surgery that cannot be received in their country, due to lack of facilities.

By JESSE GRAHAM A GRUYERE man is asking fellow residents to dig deep, to help support work at a Zimbabwe orphanage.

Mark Edmonds will head over to the Mathew Rusike Children’s Home in late April, to build a brick chicken shed, purchase new bedding and install solar pumps and water storage tanks at the orphanage.

He told the Mail in late March that his work with the orphanage, on the outskirts of Harare, Zimbabwe, began in 2013 when he found a lack of water for children and sub-par food.

He was over as part of his work with Uniting World, as the home is owned by the Methodist Church of Zimbabwe - a partner church.

“They were eating pulverised maize and a rough cabbage - that’s all they were eating each day,” he said.

In 2014, he said $39,000 USD was raised for a new bore,

five 10,000-litre storage tanks and an upgrade of the irrigation system - the children also received access to running water.

“I said to them, ‘you make a go of this, and I’ll come back and do another two and a half acres’.”

He said churches, locals and groups such as the Healesville Country Women’s Association had helped with donations over the years.

During the interview, Mr Edmonds pulled out a photograph of children standing by a full sink of water and smiling, which he said was the first time the taps were used.

“This photo here’s probably my favourite,” he said.

Last year, Mr Edmonds visited the orphanage twice, extending the irrigation system and later purchasing a new generator.

He said that from April 2014 until the end of 2015 the orphanage produced more than 20

tonnes of tomatoes, two tonnes of peppers, a tonne of cucumbers and more than 7500 chickens for meat, among other produce, which fed the children, with excess produce sold.

Mr Edmonds’ next venture to the country will see the construction a brick chicken shed to house 300 egg-laying chickens, install a solar pump and new storage tanks, and purchase bedding.

“At the moment, most of the beds are discarded beds from the locals, so you could imagine what sort of condition they’re in,” he said.

“They’re sleeping two or three kids to a bed in some cases, which is really not satisfactory.”

His goal for the project is $24,000 USD, and he said he has only $3000 USD left to raise.

WHY do you live, work and play in the Yarra Ranges?

The Yarra Ranges Council has put out a survey to ask residents and visitors what they think is special or unique about the Yarra Valley and Dandenongs.

On the council’s website, visitors are asked to list their reasons for wanting to live, work and play in the area.

The council aims to collect 3000 responses, which will shape council’s advocacy for infrastructure improvements

from the state and federal governments.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Jason Callanan said the survey was “really important”, in helping to determine where ratepayers’ money went.

“There’s no agenda to do anything different, if the public don’t want it - there’s no point building something or knocking something down, if we’ve got people out there that value that infrastructure or that environment,” he said.

He said responses could be as elaborate or as simple as the

writers’ wanted.

“We really want to see what people value about living, working and playing in this space,” Cr Callanan said.

“It can be just one line; it can just be one word.

“If people can just take a short couple of minutes to respond to the survey, it helps us here immensely on ‘how do we direct that money?’”

Rail’s true colours

By JESSE GRAHAM WORK to restore the Yarra Glen railway station has been bolstered, after a donation of paint to restore the building to its former glory.

Yarra Valley Railway’s vice-president, Brett Whelan, said that Dulux Australia had donated cans of paint to the volunteer organisation, to help with the works to rebuild the Yarra Glen station.

The former station had been the victim of arsonists and white-ants in the past, and had to be completely rebuilt - and as it is a heritage building, the rebuild is being meticulously done so the result matches the former building completely.

Mr Whelan said the donation, which came in late March, was enough paint for the entire station.

“They provided everything we asked for,” he said.

“It’s great, for the support of the many, many thousands and thousands of hours that the volunteers have put in, building the station.

“It’s great to have such

high quality paint, and really to just finish off what is some of the highest quality restoration work I’ve seen.”

Getting the right colours for the station required analysing the paint from timber from the old station building, and looking at the colours that had been painted on since the station was built.

“Then, it was a matter of going through those paints and matching the colours, so we could get an exact colour match to what the station would have looked like around 100 years ago,” Mr Whelan said.

The paints on the outside of the building feature whites, cream and a “dark burgundy” colour, and Mr Whelan said the painting was expected to be finished in the coming weeks.

He said that, without the paint donation, the railway would have had to purchase paint with donated or fundraised money.

The interior of the station will have more modern features, and the line is set to open in 2017.

4WD torched: witnesses wanted WARBURTON police are calling for witnesses to come forward, after a four-wheel-drive was torched in Cambarville last week.

Warburton Police Sergeant Tom Wilkinson said that between 3am and 4am on Tuesday 12 April, a Toyota Landcruiser was torched on the corner of Marysville-Woods Point Road and Warburton-Woods Point Road in Cambarville.

Sgt Wilkinson said the car had broken down on Sunday 10 April, and was left locked up until the Tuesday morning, when the owner collected some property from the car at 3am.

By 4am, the car had been torched, and was completely destroyed. The wheels had been stolen from the car.

Sgt Wilkinson said the car had recently been worked on, as the owner was to take it on a driving trip around Australia.

“He’s gutted,” he said.

“It’s an isolated area, not often used by through-traffic at that time of the day - we’re making a plea for anyone who may have been in that vicinity who saw anything suspicious, or down the line towards Marysville.

“We’re dependent on other people’s eyes, in this respect.”

Anyone who may have seen suspicious behaviour, or who has more information, is asked to call Leading Senior Constable Hanscomb at Warburton police, 5966 2006, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or to submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com. au.

Phone tower goes on backburner

By JESSE GRAHAM A NEW mobile phone tower for East Warburton will not be built or switched on until next year, while Steels Creek and its surrounds will have mobile phone coverage in time for the next fire season.

New Telstra mobile phone base stations, announced by the Federal Government in 2015, are set to be constructed in Dixons Creek and East Warburton, to cover two of the Yarra Ranges’ largest mobile phone black spots.

Funded through the Mobile Black Spot Programme, the Dixons Creek station - which will cover the Steels Creek area and its surrounds - is slated by Telstra to be switched on in the third quarter of 2016.

The East Warburton station, however, will not be constructed or switched on until sometime in 2017, according to the rollout map.

When asked about the rollout timing, a Telstra spokesperson said “a number of factors” influenced the construction, including acquiring a site, getting approval from local and state governments, design and consultation with the community.

“Significant work occurs behind the scenes, including design plan-

In brief

Casey MP Tony Smith and Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child, right, with East Warburton residents Donna Harry, Emma Wilkinson, Roger Lynch, Michael Southwick and John Harry at the mobile base Picture: KATH GANNAWAY station announcement in 2015. 141106 ning, community consultations, the formulation and development of planning applications and working with local councils to get the best outcome for everybody,” the spokesperson said.

When asked whether bushfire risk was a consideration when timing

the rollout - Warburton and its surrounds were rated as the highest risk for bushfires in the state - the spokesperson said Telstra worked closely with the government to schedule construction.

“Risk to life and property from bushfire was a major consideration

in the selection of the sites in Victoria,” they said.

O’Shannassy Ward councillor Jim Child said that a site had been selected, but that negotiations hit a “stumbling block”, with a landowner not wanting to lease their land for the base station.

“So now they’ve got to negotiate another site,” Cr Child said.

He said that coverage in the Upper Yarra was improving, with a Telstra base station in Millgrove coming online in September, and discussions continued about an Optus tower in Yarra Junction - “but that’s early days at the moment,” he said.

The Telstra spokesperson said the company urged residents not to rely on their mobile phones in natural disasters, such as bushfires, as the infrastructure “can be impacted”, “Therefore, it’s critical for people to have a number of information sources available,” they said.

“These may include radio, television, or the emergency.vic.gov.au website.”

The spokesperson said the Dixons Creek base station would be one of the first to be switched on under the programme.

A CROYDON Hills P-Plater will face court for drink driving after crashing his car outside the Yarra Glen while three times over the limit on Saturday.

On Saturday 16 April, police attended the scene of a single vehicle crash, where a 20-year-old Croydon Hills man lost control of his vehicle on the Melba Highway in Yering.

After being breath-tested, the teenager returned a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18 per cent - more than three times the legal limit for fully-licensed drivers.

P-Platers must have a BAC of 0.00 per cent at all times when driving.

Warburton police Leading Senior Constable Brett Hanscomb said the man’s licence was immediately suspended, and he would be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

The driver was not injured in the crash.

Hoon down $1209 for burnouts A WANDIN North man will pay more than $1000 to retrieve his car, after being caught doing burnouts on Mount Donna Buang on Friday night.

On Friday 15 April, Warburton police officers caught the driver, aged in his twenties, doing burnouts on Mount Donna Buang.

The man’s vehicle was impounded for 30 days under hoon legislation, and will cost $1209 to retrieve - he will also be summonsed to appear in court in regards to the offences.

Leading Senior Constable Brett Hanscomb said the Donna Buang area was a “major problem” for drivers behaving badly, with police regularly patrolling the area.

“Police are aware, and patrolling regularly, and cars will be impounded,” Leading Sen Const Hanscomb said.

Weak at the knees watch Jerome Higgins

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda

DEGENERATIVE knees - we all get them it’s just a matter of when and how bad.

Knee degeneration usually involves the wearing out of the meniscus (the cartilaginous padding between the bones) and the articular cartilage (the harder, thinner cartilage that lines the bones which form the joint).

When these structures deteriorate, quite often a chain reaction occurs: the joint space decreases, there is a decrease in normal levels of joint fluid which help to lubricate the joint, bony joint surfaces can rub together causing uneven wearing and inflammation, and finally pain and restriction of movement result.

This is typical of how a degenerative knee presents in a clinical setting.

A healthy individual shows some levels of degenerative knee disease on radiograph between the ages of 40 to 50.

However, early degeneration is not uncommon in the 20 to 40 age group, particularly in a sporting population.

Another big factor that we see, and which is often overlooked, is the effect of biomechanics of the knee joint during gait and running.

People with overpronating feet, or with hips which turn in due to weak hip and core muscles, commonly put increased stress through their knee joint with every step they take.

This effect worsens when the loads are increased during running, squatting, lunging, stairs, hills and with carrying excess weight.

And worsens further with poor footwear or a job that requires prolonged weightbearing.

So what can be done?

Up until the last few years, arthroscopic surgery was the main treatment option for those with pain and restriction.

This involves a surgical procedure to trim frayed or torn parts of the cartilage, remove bony spurs and add fluid back into the joint.

Yet in 2013, Finnish researchers found that arthroscopic surgery was no better than sham surgery, whereby just fluid was injected into the knee, plus physiotherapy.

Also in 2013, a major US study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that in general there was no benefit to arthroscopic surgery compared with physiotherapy in treating meniscal tears or degenerative knees.

Added to that the risks of any surgery or risks of wound infection; then, the choice becomes much plainer.

Physiotherapy treatment for degenerative knees involves strengthening the muscles that support the knee, and addressing biomechanical factors such as feet, weak hip and core muscles and tight muscles in the lower body.

So if your GP or surgeon suggests an arthroscope for degenerative knee pain or meniscal injury, do yourself a favour and suggest you’d like to try the conservative option first.

Services at stake over rate cap

Charges over last year’s fatal crash

By JESSE GRAHAM A PATTERSON Lakes man will front court in the middle of the year, following a fatal crash in Launching Place last year that killed his friend.

On Monday 11 April, Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) detectives announced that a 22-year-old man had been charged for a rollover fatality on 10 April, 2015, on Milners Road.

Police allege the driver, who had left the Wesburn Hotel with a car full of friends, travelling from Yarra Junction to Launching Place, is believed to have lost control and crashed into trees, rolling the car after 11pm.

Six people were inside the five-seater four-wheel drive, and 21-year-old Charlie Robertson, from the Upper Yarra area, died at the scene.

Two other passengers, a man and a wom-

an, were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The driver was charged on Saturday 2 April with culpable driving, negligently causing serious injury, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing serious injury, reckless conduct endangering life, reckless conduct endangering a person and other traffic-related offences.

The man was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 17 June.

MURRINDINDI Shire councillors have defended a proposed 5.4 per cent rate increase in this year’s budget, arguing that a rate rise cut would hurt services.

In a Councillor Comment piece in March, Cr John Kennedy wrote about the impending rate cap, which will force councils who have not applied for an exemption to have rate rises in line with CPI – 2.5 per cent.

Murrindindi Shire Council, as well as 20 other councils, have applied for an exemption to the rate cap, and Cr Kennedy wrote that finding the money to make up for the lower rate increase could hit services.

“A potential solution could be to close two libraries and two swimming pools, as the annual cost saved together with the reduction in future capital investment would be quite significant,” he wrote.

“But councillors have decided that these cuts would be unpalatable and not welcomed by our communities.”

Murrindindi mayor Margaret Rae said that council expenses rise by about 1 per cent or 1.5 per cent more than CPI (the Consumer Price Index), and that the council would have to find $500,000 in savings to meet the cap this year.

“That’s traditional – we buy concrete, we buy gravel, we buy pipes, we buy machinery,” Cr Rae said.

“If we’re consistently sitting

... at supermarket CPI, then there will be a gap every year - that gap, for us, over 10 years, is an estimated $22 million.

“That’s just keeping the wheels rolling as they are now.”

Yarra Ranges Council mayor Jason Callanan said his council would not apply for a rate cap variation in 2016-’17, and was “committed” to keep “carrying out important services and improving infrastructure”.

“While local government faces a challenging financial climate, increasing customer expectations and rapid change in the use of technology, we are committed to implementing initiatives to provide the best value to residents,” he said.

Cr Callanan said that council would be losing state and Federal Government recurrent and capital funding, as well as losing potential revenue from the lower rate increase.

“To counter this, we have been working to improve our internal processes, reviewing our internal services for areas of waste and duplication, and tightening labour costs through innovation and new ways of working,” he said.

“Through these processes, we are confident we can continue to provide the best value services and infrastructure to our community.”

Desal plant will cost us dearly WATER bills for Yarra Valley families are going up again because Daniel Andrews has made a politically motivated decision to switch on the desalination plant.

Daniel Andrews’ games come at a time when families are already struggling with cost of living pressures.

Melbourne’s water storages are two-thirds full and we did not need any water restrictions over summer.

Yet Daniel Andrews rushed off and ordered 50 billion litres of expensive desalinated water on 1 April.

Water white elephants like the desal plant and the northsouth pipeline are the reason that the average household water bill doubled under the last Labor State Government.

And now the desal plant is going to cost Melbourne families $637 million this year -

just because Daniel Andrews wants to justify Labor’s previous mistake.

Daniel Andrews is putting politics ahead of people, and our water bills are going up again because of it.

Christine Fyffe MP, State Member for Evelyn.

Paws for thanks ON behalf of The Pet Foundation and Petbarn Chirnside Park, I would like to send my heartfelt thanks to the Yarra Ranges community for their generosity in supporting our annual Christmas Giving Appeal, which raised much-needed funds for local animal charities.

After calculating the fundraising total, I am proud to note that the local Yarra Ranges community dug deep and collectively donated $3974 towards the appeal.

We set out with the goal to raise $450,000; and thanks to the compassion and generos-

ity of our customers, we were able to raise over $633,000 nationally.

Importantly, all profits from the appeal will go towards helping local animal shelters and rescue groups.

Some of these charities include RSPCA, Cat Haven, Lort Smith, Cat Corner, Pet Haven Foundation, just to name a few.

The Christmas Giving campaign kicked off in November and ran for six weeks across Petbarn stores nationally.

Yarra Ranges locals could get involved by visiting Petbarn Chirnside Park and purchasing a $3, $5 or $10 Christmas tree decoration, which came in two parts: one to hang on the Petbarn Chirnside Park Giving Tree and one to take home for their very own family Christmas tree.

When, next we say ‘Easter’s here’ it will be 1937 and with that new era will come fresh hopes and ambitions and no doubt, for many of us fresh sorrows and disappointments.

I think most of our visitors enjoyed themselves, they should have, with such favourable weather, pleasant surroundings and happy companions. I did hear, however, a good deal of grumbling about the lack of some novel outdoor entertainment on the sports oval for Easter Monday. A golden opportunity was certainly lost.

Council’s eye on the nature strip

Report is supported

By KATH GANNAWAY THE Eastern Community Legal Centre (ECLC) has strongly welcomed the findings of the Royal Commission into Family Violence, praising the depth and breadth of the report and its 227 recommendations.

The ECLC operates services in Healesville with outreach to Yarra Junction and is currently conducting a legal needs study across the hills area of Yarra Ranges to establish what the needs are there.

The historic report was tabled in parliament on 30 March, 2016, and released by Premier Daniel Andrews and Commissioner Marcia Neave AO. ECLC CEO, Michael Smith, said the Royal Commission had established a clear systems approach to tackling family violence with recommendations across prevention, response, support, justice and legal systems as well as perpetrator accountability.

“It has clearly heard the voices of victim/survivors as well as professionals and agencies working in this field for many years, including the expertise of our centre and our many colleagues and partners,” Mr Smith said.

Referring to statements in the report which identify that all parts of the system - support services, police and the courts - are being overwhelmed, he said the report identified a doubling of family violence incidents in Melbourne’s East in the last five years (to 2013-'14).

Speaking specifically of Yarra Ranges, Mr Smith said for a very long time awareness of family violence had gone unrecognised.

“It has been pretty disappointing

because people didn’t see what the issues were and didn’t recognise the issues,” he said.

“In the last two or three years however, that has really changed.

“The community has a stronger sense of what those issues are and we’ve seen much more awareness and reporting to police, and a much greater response by police.”

ECLC made three submissions to the Royal Commission focused on specific projects and expertise.

Recommendations that address specialist magistrates, registrars, staff and facilities at courts they say acknowledges the Ringwood Family Violence Integration Project, an ECLD-led partnership.

They have welcomed also recommendations around safe waiting areas, multi-media information about the intervention order process that is available online and in court waiting areas, the importance of specialist family violence and legal services working closely together and improved Residential Tenancies Act legislation and VCAT procedures in cases where family violence impacts on tenancies.

Mr Smith said the report makes it clear that the courts have a leadership role.

“A lot of the recommendations are in terms of the courts being on the front foot and more active,” he said.

Accessibility is a big factor for people in outlying areas.

“People, often with kids, have to travel to make a report and then travel back and forward often several times.

“We are hoping the courts will be more pro-active in how they manage those things, being more flexible in response to people’s needs.”

YARRA Ranges Council has released its guidelines for nature strips and roadsides for comment.

At its 12 April meeting, council voted to release the guidelines for public comment before making a decision on whether to adopt the guideline with or without amendments.

The councillors heard that for each of the 60 or so requests they got from residents each year asking if they could landscape the nature strip at the front of their properties, a similar number of complaints was made.

Key issues identified were that given the differences in nature strip treatments, road design, geography and neighbourhood character, the strict enforcement of current guidelines is difficult to apply retrospectively on a consistent basis.

Under the guidelines, where landscaping of nature strips that obscures drivers’ vision of hinders pedestrians, is a fire risk of involves damage to council land or assets, the local law will be strictly enforced.

The guidelines include changes that relax the local law controls to allow planting that is safe and fits with the character of the local streetscape and leaves out the requirement for permits in some cases.

It also identifies when permits will be required.

Among a number of items not permitted are hard paving, bricks or stepping stones, sleepers, scoria, specific mulches, sculptures or letterboxes other than those that comply to Australia Post prescriptions.

To view the guidelines, and for information on making submissions visit www. yarraranges.vic.gov.au or phone 1300 368 333.

Anzac honour

By KATH GANNAWAY THE Avenues of Honour found in many of Yarra Ranges’ townships and around the country, are the inspiration for the latest works by musicians Jim Brown and Vince Brophy.

Following on from Brown and Brophy’s ‘Anzac on the Wall’ CD and show, the song “The Avenues of Honour” will be part of the Anzac dawn service at Lilydale, later at the commemorations at Silvan and in other towns around Victoria.

Also known as “As long as poppies dance in Fields of France” the song pays tribute to those who served the countries they loved - Australia and France.

“This clip is a tribute to the Anzacs, the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in the First World War, particularly the Western Front,” said Jim Brown, a Wandin poet and songwriter who teamed up with Vince Brophy about three years ago to work on the Anzac on the Wall project.

Through their song-writing and music, the pair have looked further than the battle fields, which they say are well documented, to what was happening, and what ultimately happened, back home.

Australia was a big country with a small population.

“If we were to respond today the way our ancestors did in 1914 - 60,000 from a population of 5 million, we would have 1.3 million boys and girls overseas fighting on foreign soil,” Mr Brown said.

“At least 300,000 would die and another 300,000 would probably come back damaged and needing care for a lot of their lives.”

The 20 per cent of the gross national product that it cost back then would equate to hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, Mr Brown said.

“The Anzacs were the last to return home after the war, because shipping after the war was scarce, and priority was given to the wounded and married men,” he said.

“It could be two years or more before some Anzacs returned home, and while they waited they engaged with the people of France and Bel-

Vince Brophy and Jim Brown at the Healesville Avenue of Honour. 152975 gium and helped rebuild their communities all but destroyed by the Germans.”

The poppy is a universal symbol of the war in both countries, and, in Australia, the Anzacs are uniquely remembered by the Avenues of Honour that communities planted along roadways to remember their fallen.

“In France, the poppy fields have become a focus for the French to remember the Anzacs who fought so bravely to save their country, Mr Brown said.

“That bravery is remembered forever when the wild poppies bloom in French fields.”

For more information, call: 1300 342 255 (press option 6).

1224114-CB15-16

Services which will relocate to the shopfront office include: • Reception – Appointments – Account payments – General inquiries • Diabetes Educator • Podiatry • Dietitian • Counselling

Our GP Clinic and Physiotherapy Service will remain at their current location in White Street, Healesville.

Due to these construction works, Yarra Valley Community Health will temporarily relocate some services to its shopfront office at 297 Maroondah Highway, Healesville (opposite Beechworth Bakery) from Monday, April 18.

TRAIL runners will be lacing up and taking on the forests around Healesville and Toolangi, with a marathon and ultramarathon event set for Sunday 24 April.

The marathon, which features a 10 kilometre, 21km, 30km and 50km circuits, will kick off in the morning from Maroondah Dam, ending there in the afternoon.

Event organiser Brett Saxon said this year would be the 21st Maroondah Dam trail run, and

that he personally started organising it after the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009.

He told the Mail that he hoped to get between 200-300 people taking part in the marathon, and that locals would take up the challenge.

“If it goes more than that, it’s an incredible number of people giving it a go,” Mr Saxon said.

“For me, it’s about getting people outdoors, healthy, and we’re supporting Canteen.”

He said that $1 from each entry fee would go towards can-

teen, as well as donations collected on the day.

Mr Saxon said the inclusion of the smaller race size was to offer the partners or friends a chance to run alongside them without having to tackle a 50km journey themselves.

Peter Wonderfeel's exhibition, Sacred Archetypes, will feature at Healesville's Memo Hall until 24 May. 152569 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

Archetypes set in art

By KATH GANNAWAY

By JESSE GRAHAM

“SELLING desirability ... that’s it in a nutshell for me.”

Warburton photographer, Suyin Chan’s exhibition ‘Hun ...

Your Use By Date is Showing’, is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the ludicrous nature of advertising and the disposable culture that we somehow struggle to come to grips with.

Suyin didn’t have to look, or travel, far to find inspiration for the 37 works that create a parallel universe of real world (with a slight, but more acceptable and humourous, twist) and the predominately delusional world of advertising.

Enlisting the help of six young local people as models, she parodied a cross-section of glossy magazine ads that sell everything from food, tools and cars to the broader product of ‘lifestyle’.

Suyin took advantage of the annual disposathon of Hard Rubbish as her ‘studio’ to create alternative scenarios.

That the young people (Hannah Mahoney, Ben Sheahan, Lily Belle Hellicar, Leon Bamford, Sarah Bamford and Cameron Bamford) ‘got it’ immediately, is reward in itself.

Suyin sums it up like this ...

We are too fat, we smell, our houses smell, we can’t enjoy ourselves unless we have that

AN exhibition exploring the different qualities people possess has opened at Healesville’s Memo Hall, with symmetrical and patterned art pieces adorning the walls for the coming month.

Peter Wonderfeel’s exhibition, Sacred Archetypes, opened at the Memo on Saturday 9 April, featuring 26 symbols emblazoned in colourful, often-symmetrical pieces.

Mr Wonderfeel told the Mail ahead of the exhibition opening that the archetypes had been developed over the last 23 years of his life, with the pieces produced since 2013.

“When I was younger, I wanted a tool that would help me be the person I wanted to be, be a happy person,” he said.

“And I thought, ‘What are all the really important qualities of a happy person?’

“I started with 105 and I distilled it down to 26.”

The pieces are named and have a short summary of what they represent, such as Builder, which features the description “I am satisfied by progress”.

But Mr Wonderfeel said

Suyin Chan looks at the ridiculousness of advertising. 152930 car or that product; we’re not glamorous or sexy enough; we aren’t young enough; we have set roles as mums and dads; we aren’t making our children happy unless we have that product; we shouldn’t settle with what we have, we should be doing better, our lives will improve if we keep buying the new; we can attract love if we do; our children will love us more if we do; we will

look younger; we will be happier; we will be smarter; we will enjoy life more.

“I looked at the ads and thought, how does that look in reality, and it’s quite different,” Suyin said.

Her personal favourite for ridiculousness, she says, is the couple dressed in tux and ball gown in a shower-cleaner ad!

Picture: KATH GANNAWAY The ‘sex sells’ approach is one of several strong themes, depicted in ads in language and photos, that come under scrutiny in Suyin’s clever look at a serious topic.

‘Hun ... Your Use By Date is Showing’ is not a lecture, it’s fun that invites you to think.

It’s on at the Water Wheel Gallery in Warburton until 27 April.

he hoped people would make their own connections with each of the pieces.

“I really like it when people are open to something, and find a mystery in it and want to explore it - I love that,” he said.

“Each individual is going to have an absolutely different take on these, but, as a general sense, I feel these are qualities that are active and alive in us, and things that just help us function on a day-to-day level, help us have good relationships, help us feel satisfied in our careers, help us feel contented in ourselves.

“That’s what these are designed to do.”

The pieces themselves began with photographs of different items or textures in nature, which Mr Wonderfeel then edits digitally, creating patterns and symmetrical pieces, with deep and sometimes psychedelic colours.

“I’m a fan of symmetry” he said.

“The jury’s out on whether symmetry is cool or not, but I like it.”

Sacred Archetypes will run until 24 May in the Memo’s gallery, on Maroondah Highway, Healesville.

Words of Dylan work A TRIBUTE show to Bob Dylan will return to Healesville’s Memo Hall for an extra night at the end of the month, after a sell-out show in town in March.

DYLANesque is a two-hour narrated rock and roll show, exploring the life and music of renowned mu-

sician, Bob Dylan.

A four-piece band, led by Jeff Jenkins, performs more than 30 of Dylan’s songs, with stories in between about the times in his life that influenced his music.

The show, which has been performed for the last six months, spans from Dylan’s early years through to his evolution as a world-renowned

artist - and everywhere in between.

The group played a sold-out show at Healesville’s Memo Hall on Saturday, 5 March, and have been announced for a second show on Saturday, 30 April.

The 5 March show sold out three weeks before the night of the show.

The show was previewed at Yarra Ranges Council’s Culture Tracks

Chills up the spine The Huntsman: Winter’s War Starring Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt Rated M THE follow-up to 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman, The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a surprisingly solid fantasy action film.

The Huntsman of the title (Chris Hemsworth) is revealed to be a former child soldier of Freya (Emily Blunt), a princess with ice magic who is driven to bitterness by the murder of her infant child.

The plot is fairly weak, with a flimsy motivator in the

magic mirror that the heroes are tasked to retrieve, and it has some gravely misguided comic relief, but otherwise The Huntsman still has a sturdy emotional core, ample thrills and solid performances.

Hemsworth and Jessica Chastain, as his warrior maiden love interest Sara, have excellent chemistry, and their journey of slowly trusting and depending on each other again after an assumed betrayal is quite fulfilling.

Freya is a ruthless conqueror who prohibits love in her kingdom, but Blunt elevates what is otherwise a simplistic villain through a per-

croydon

formance infused with warped compassion. Charlize Theron returns magnificently as the evil Queen Ravena, radiating haughty malevolence in every scene.

The art direction and cinematography are stunning, and the action scenes are brutal, impressively choreographed and carry strong tension, as the heroes visibly struggle in each fight.

You don’t need a magic mirror to tell you this isn’t the fairest film of them all, but The Huntsman: Winter’s War is still highly satisfying.

Inclusion in sport upheld

By PETER DOUGLAS PRIDE Cup ambassadors have again set about busting the myth that rural Victoria is a breeding ground for homophobia.

In a well-attended event at Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve, the third instalment of the emerging event featured a fun, welcoming environment while delivering plenty of strong community messages.

That message is to celebrate diversion and inclusion in sport, with the event’s origins involving Yarra Glen footballer Jason Ball, who was the first Australian Rules player at any level to come out as being gay.

On hand to help this year’s Pride Cup were veteran Channel Nine newsreader Peter Hitchener, and Victorian Gender and Sexuality Commissioner Rowena Allen.

At a special luncheon before the feature senior match, Mr Hitchener told the crowd that it was a myth that rural Victoria was a place of ignorance.

“Country football is not a homophobic place, the Yarra Glen Football Club and Jason Ball have taught us all that,” he said.

Hitchener recalled his own experiences growing up, and explained how he wished there was an ambassador like Jason Ball during his early years.

“Coming from the bush, and at an early age, I didn’t really understand all the words they used,” he said. “... I learnt to fight and survive, but I wish there was someone like Jason Ball around - a mentor - when I was going through that.”

Meanwhile, Ms Allen said it was only too easy to get caught up in Jason Ball’s story and not really acknowledge his journey.

“We’re all amazed about the story of Jason Ball, but it came at a cost ... it’s hard to be the first, it’s much easier to be the second,” she said.

Ms Allen said the event was also a way to pay tribute to those who have gone before and strived for inclusion.

She also acknowledged the importance of the pride theme, which has now filtered to other codes and is set to become and AFL event this year.

Jason Ball also addressed the audience, told the audience of his early life and path towards the third Pride Cup. “I was 12 years old when I realised I was gay; I always associated that word with something bad ... I wished that I wasn’t gay ... I had thought about taking my own life,” he said.

“I thought this (the football club) was the one place I couldn’t come out ... I couldn’t talk about relationships or what you did on the weekend.”

Eventually, he came out to a team-mate and then to the wider club.

“To be able to see rainbow jumpers on the players which everyone is happy to put on, makes me so proud,” he said.

Also present on the day were numerous Yarra Ranges Shire councillors, as well as representatives from Eastern Health, Headspace and the Pink Magpies.

Channel Nine newsreader Peter Hitchener said he wished there were strong ambassadors during his time growing up.

Openers bring surprises YVMDFNL ROUND 1 KICKED OFF IN BRIGHT SUNSHINE FOR THE 2016 SEASON. Division 1 had a twilight game at Olinda, the Professionals Cup at Mount Evelyn, the Pride Cup at Yarra Glen; while Alexandra and Thornton, and Yarra Junction and Powelltown played in their Local Rival Clashes.

Some surprise results and some good football was witnessed by clubs, supporters and the Yarra Valley community.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS WWOORI YALLOCK 21.14 (140) d BELGRAVE 9.10 (64)

Woori Yallock got off to a good start, kicking 4.6 to Belgrave’s 2.2, but they could have been a lot further in front if they had of kicked straight.

They really wrapped up the game in the second quarter adding 5.5, Belgrave could only manage 1.3 giving Woori a comfortable lead of 57 points and the main break. Jordan Williams was a target up forward for Woori while Ethan Clasby and Mark Francis battled hard for Belgrave. Woori Yallock continued the same style of play into the third, adding 5 straight and added another 7 goals in the last to come away with a commanding firstround win.

Woori Yallock Best: J. Williams (6 goals), B. Arnold, D. Benson, R. Allen, S. Kennedy, K. Busoli.

Belgrave Best: J. Pearce, J. McDermott, N. Somervaille, M. Puts, T. Stubley, P. VanLambaart (1 goal).

MONBULK 18.9 (117) d EMERALD 10.9 (69)

Emerald made their return to Division 1 hosting Monbulk. The first quarter was a tight battle and Emerald held a 1 point lead at quarter time.

Monbulk turned it on the second, kicking 6 goals to 1 and took a lead of 32 points into half time.

They came out and continued to dish out a clinic by kicking 7 goals to 1 and the game was all over.

Emerald rallied in the last and outscored Monbulk by 3 goals but the gap was just too big.

Upwey's Kyle Grenda survives a flying tackle by Healesville's Jordan Shaw in the seniors.

Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY. 152963.

Monbulk Best: R. Louch (5 goals), S. Williams (3 goals), D. Ward (2 goals), S. McBride (3 goals), D. McClelland, C. Sharpe.

Emerald Best: B. Moloney, P. White (2 goals), J. Kruithof (2 goals), Mat Dompietro, Michael Dompietro (1 goal), C. Thomsen.

UPWEY TECOMA 12.15 (87) d HEALESVILLE 8.12 (60)

Healesville played for the first time with their new AFL size goal posts and managed to find them four times whereas Upwey struggled only finding the once. The tables were turned in the second and Healesville went MIA only kicking 1.1 while Upwey hit the ground running and kicked 9.7. This game could have been well and truly over at half time as Upwey held the lead by 32 points and it could have been a lot more but for inaccuracy. Healesville had a mini surge in the third, outscoring Upwey slightly and reduced the three quarter time margin to 27 points.

Could Healesville rally in the last? The scoring shots were exactly the same in the last and Upwey came away with a good first-round win.

Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Hackett, K. Grenda, R. Hannagan, T. Robinson (3 goals), B. Sheppard, A. Kelly.

Healesville Best: B. Murphy, J. Layton (1 goal), N. Mende, S. Donkin, M. Jeffery, R. Woodford (3 goals).

OLINDA FERNY CREEK 17.17 (119) d WARBURTON MILLGROVE 3.7 (25)

Warburton travelled to Olinda for a twilight game to kick off the season. Fog was an issue for the Reserves but all cleared for the Seniors at 4.30pm. Warburton may have wished for the fog but it wasn’t to be. The first quarter was went Olinda’s way kicking 3.5 to 2 straight. The margin could have been a lot more if the radar had been working properly for Olinda. Olinda’s wayward kicking still plagued them in the second kicking 3.5 to Warburton’s 3 points. Again like other games today the result was known at half time. It was just a case of Olinda by how much. Olinda increased the margin to 46 points at three-quarter time and in the last the found the big sticks kicking 8.3 to 3 behinds.

Olinda Ferny Creek Best: (not available at time of print).

Warburton Millgrove Best: T. McKail, P. Sharp, D. Brookes, D. Noorman, L. Barnard, J. Mullan.

MOUNT EVELYN 18.12 (120) d WANDIN 16.15 (111)

Mount Evelyn took on Wandin in the Annual Round 1 clash for the Professionals Cup. Mount Evelyn got off to a great start kicking 5.4 to 2.5 and had a handy 17 point lead at quarter time.

Wandin kicked with a slight breeze in the second and managed 5.4 to 3.1 to reduce the lead to 2 points at the main break. Mount Evelyn kicked with the breeze in the third and kicked 7.4 to Wandin’s 6.2 to take a 10 point lead into the last. Was it going to be enough? Mount Evelyn welcomed back Robbie Hartfield who kicked 7 goals, while Michael Fowkes made the goal umpire work with his 5 for Wandin. The final quarter saw game of the midfielders and half backs with

YARRA JUNCTION 12.14 (86) d POWELLTOWN 9.19 (73)

Yarra Junction hosted the local town rival match on Saturday. This time last year saw this game a draw. Yarra Junction started full of running and kicked 4.2 to 3.5 in the first. They extended their lead at half time to 22 points by kicking 4 goals while Powelltown only managed the 1 major. Powelltown must have got a rev-up at the half-time break as the reduced the threequarter time margin to 1 point by kicking 5.7 to 2.4. Accuracy would have seen Powelltown take a healthy lead into the last. Was the result going to be the same as last year? Yarra Junction held on valiantly and kicked 2.4 and managed to hold Powelltown goalless in the last.

Upwey's Nathan Buxton and Liam O'Brien close in on Healesville's Brendan Murphy.

both clubs having trouble penetrating into their respective forward lines. Mount Evelyn managed 3.3 in the last and Wandin kicked 3.4 to reduce the final margin to 9 points. This game was clearly the best of the round; and if games are going to continue in this vain, we are in for a good season of football.

Mount Evelyn Best: R. Hartfield (7 goals), T. Denham, A. Chalkley, M. Brierley (1 goal), D. Matarazzo, J. Thompson.

Wandin Best: D. Ladner, R Wilson (2 goals), J. Ladner, B. Foley (3 goals), H. Byrne (2 goals), J. Bayliss (2 goals).

DIVISION 2 SENIORS ALEXANDRA 13.12 (90) d THORNTON EILDON 9.5 (59)

This was the clash of the local rivals this week.

Alexandra came out and showed their intentions kicking 6 goals to 2 and had a handy lead of 25 points at quarter time. They managed to extend that lead to 32 points at half time. The third quarter was fairly even with both teams kicking 1 major but it was a long road back for Thornton from here. Thornton outscored Alexandra by kicking 5 goals to 4 but it was all too late.

Alexandra Best: B. Wallace, L. Heard (5 goals), C. Tranter (1 goal), C. Heaslip, L. Ragg, D. Bourke.

Thornton Eildon Best: S. Larkman (5 goals), R. Chapman, D. Creed, Z. King, A. Reddan, J. Strachan (1 goal).

YARRA GLEN 17.16 (118) d KINGLAKE 6.7(43) Yarra Glen hosted the third Pride Cup on Saturday and was determined to hold the bragging rights. There was a slight wind advantage to the railway end of the ground and Yarra Glen took advantage of it by kicking 5 goals to 1 in the first. Kinglake bounced back in the second, kicking 3.5 to 2.3. They could have been a lot closer if they kicked straight. Yarra Glen sealed the deal in the third, kicking 7.4 while holding Kinglake scoreless for the quarter. A few injuries reduced Kinglake’s rotations in the last as Yarra Glen kicked 3.6 to 2 straight in the last.

Yarra Glen Best: M. Gordon (3 goals), J. Baughan (1 goal), C. Tait (1 goal), C. Trend (3 goals), L. Hoffman (3 goals), L. Telford (3 goals).

Kinglake Best: M. McAllister, S. Slater, Z. White, W. Graf, B. Wilkinson, L. Arthurson. Adam Moate from Yarra Glen was awarded the Pride Cup Medal.

Yarra Junction Best: D. Lever (1 goal), T. Wheeler (4 goals), R. Hancock (2 goals), L. Cove, F. D'Agostino, A. Chandler (1 goal).

Powelltown Best: S. Carter (6 goals), T. Hallmark, J. Walker (2 goals), S. Sanders, P. Allen, J. Moore.

YEA 8.9 (57) d GEMBROOK COCKATOO 7.13 (55)

This was the match of the Round in Division 2.

Both teams a bit of an unknown quantity as they have both been on the recruitment trail. Yea got off to a solid start kicking 3.1 to 104. Gembrook fought back in the second reducing the margin to 5 points at the half time break.

DIVISION 1 A GRADE NETBALL WOORI YALLOCK 64 d BELGRAVE 49

Woori Yallock hosted Belgrave under the guidance of new coach, Sarah Hogan. Woori Yallock held a handy lead of 5 goals after the first quarter. They only extended it by 1 at half-time. The lead was 7 at three-quarter time and the result was not certain. Woori Yallock’s Elizabeth Nicol was

consistent all day and helped see Woori secure 4 points for Round 1 and a first up win for their new coach. Woori Yallock Best: Elizabeth Nicol (54 goals), Caitlyn Alifraco, Bess Schnioffsky.

Belgrave Best: Lauren Bennett (35 goals), Kylie Bradshaw, Jennifer Dewhurst.

MONBULK 71 d EMERALD 14

Monbulk held a commanding lead at the end of the first quarter and it was always going to be hard for Emerald to rebound. The lead increased to 29 goals at the main break. Monbulk extended their lead to 41 goals at the 3 quarter time break and came away comfortable winners in the end.

Monbulk’s Best: Jamie Sands (31 goals), Tahlia Northey (16 goals), Rebecca McCormick. Emerald Best: Kristy Evans (12 goals), Tahlia Duggan, Sally Rush (2 goals).

HEALESVILLE 49 d UPWEY TECOMA 25

Healesville hosted Upwey on Saturday and it saw the welcome return of A Grade to Upwey.

Healesville held the lead throughout the game and was never in doubt of winning. Upwey will improve from this game and Healesville will be happy with their first round result. Healesville Best: Chelsea Connell (26 goals), Caitlyn Jeffress, Alexandra Bryan. Upwey Tecoma Best: Rachel Whitelaw, Peta Day, Rebecca Leeson (9 goals) OLINDA FERNY CREEK 68 d WARBURTON MILLGROVE 40

This game was going to be one of the games to watch. Olinda coming off a premiership last year and Warburton with their young brigade. Olinda got off to a handy lead of 8 goals in the 1st. Olinda maintained that lead shooting 12 goals to 11 in the 2nd. They extended their lead in the 3rd to 27 goals and it was now too much for Warburton to chip away at. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: Krista Tomlinson, Tess Linkins (48 goals), Rhiannon Pendleton. Warburton Millgrove Best: Kellie Davidosn, Bianca Daniels (23 goals), Natalie Petrucev.

WANDIN 40 d MOUNT EVELYN 30

Mount Evelyn took on last year's runners-up in what would be a good test for them and Wandin who were in the hands of new coaches for 2016.

The game was close all day with neither side really getting any ascendancy until the last. Not much separated them early in the last quarter but Wandin got some turnovers and momentum and ended up winning by 10 goals. Wandin Best: Rhiannan Maxwell (17 goals), Tayla Harris, Tayissa Coppinger. Mount Evelyn Best: Eliza Beazleigh, Bridgette Barry-Murphy, Kaitlyn Black.

Duo in team of year YARRA Valley Cricket Association cricketers David Lever (Warburton-Millgrove) and Simon Young (Woori Yallock) were recognised for their outstanding seasons when they were named in the VCCL Region 8 (South East Country) Team of the Year.

The team comprises players from Yarra Valley, West Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and the Ferntree Gully Cricket Association; and is based on home and away performances in Division 1 only.

Ultimately, a Victorian Country Team of the Year will be chosen from the cream of the eight regions across Victoria.

Yarra Valley was represented by Young, a more than handy fast bowler, and Lever who was selected as the all-rounder.

Meanwhile, neighbouring Ferntree Gully District Cricket Association’s Feaver medal winner Johnathan Levell (Belgrave) headed the batting list after scoring 740 runs at an average of 82, while The Basin’s Jake Best was named captain of the team scoring 559 runs.

Ferntree Gully batsman Jayden Bradbury was also rewarded for his 588 runs for the season.

Other notable performances came from Pakenham opening batsman Chris Smith who scored in excess of 700 runs, Cardinia’s off-spinner Dwayne Doig taking 45 wickets and Tooradin wicketkeeper Tom Hussey with 30 dismissals and 640 runs.

Hussey and Best are former teammates at Casey South Melbourne.

Team of the Year (in batting order as per VCCL rules): 1. Johnathan Levell (Belgrave; FTGDCA); 2. Chris Smith (Pakenham, WGCA); 3. Jake Best (C, The Basin FTGDCA; 4. Wade Pelzer (Peninsula OB,

Healesville Toyota

By DEAN THOMPSON HEALESVILLE driver Steve Kershaw was among the winners as Alexandra and District Speedway Club hosted the Victorian Late Model Sedan State Titles on Saturday 9 April.

Kershaw was a popular winner among a good representation of local drivers, taking out the Sports Sedan final ahead of another Healesville driver, Ben Moon.

But, it was Sydneysider David Doherty who went home with the big prize, the Victorian Late Model Sedan State Title, along with New South Wales champion Brad McClure who won the Street Stock final and Jackson Lunt who came home a winner in the Juniors.

Late model sedans with their open size engines that went as high as 434ci and 830 plus horsepower on Saturday came from Western Australia, South Australia, as far up as Newcastle and right around Victoria to compete for the Victorian title honours.

Doherty was too good for local Alexandra member and Healesville resident Justin Pearson with Nathan Disney from Newcastle in third place.

A top eight shoot out seen a sensational finish with Pearson blasting around the outside of Doherty to claim pole position for the final. Pearson was hoping to be quick out of the blocks at the green flag in the final, however, Doherty was the driver to win the race to the first turn and he went on to lead with Pearson actually dropping back a few places before making his way forward again.

West Australian Michael Holmes was out first followed

by Todd Bayley, both of whom were serious chances of a podium position.

Twenty-five laps were run and on the 26th, Pearson and

Sports Sedan winner Steve Kershaw in action. 152738 Picture: INACTION PHOTOS Disney came together on the back straight leaving Disney heading across the grass and stopping close to the edge of the track.

Stewards couldn’t put a finger on who was at fault from their position, and both drivers were left in their position with the incident marked as a racing incident.

Doherty then went on to win from Pearson, Disney, Chevy Edwards from Eildon and defending champion Ben Nicastri who started fifteenth and finished in fifth.

Doherty was reserved in victory. “Thank you to all my crew and supporters for their help,” he said.

“Congratulations to the Victorian Late Model club, the venue and its volunteers and the other place getters for all their efforts to make this a great night.”

Event sponsor and secondplaced finisher, Justin Pearson, was pleased with the result.

“This division continues to go from strength to strength,” he said.

“Our numbers are growing, the fan base is starting to follow

and venues want us to come and go racing for them and their fans.

“I can’t thank my team enough and all the supporters of the title for helping us make this event so great.”

Heat race wins went to Doherty, Chevy Edwards, Justin Pearson, Holmes, Doherty and Pearson again.

Jackson Lunt and Ricky Cornwall had a ding-dong battle in the Juniors with Tim Gorski ready to pounce and take a win if anything went wrong as the field went through the backmarkers.

Lunt won from Cornwall, Wayne Furmston got past Gorski for third with Courtney Meakins in fifth place.

New South Wales champion Brad McClure won the Street Stock final from Lenny Bates, Scott Bull, Mick Dann and Debbie Jones with Steve Kershaw from Healesville winning the Sports Sedan final from Ben Moon, Peter Eastham, Colin Tate and Kevin Brogmus.

Racing returns on 14 May with the Mick Woodhams Memorial for 3 Litre Sedans and club classes.
