‘No change’ wards

Taking the bullies offline IT'S an often-talked about issue, and Seville Primary School is taking it head on, hosting an information session for parents about cyber safety on Wednesday night. From 7pm on Wednesday, 8 June, the school will host Yarra Ranges Youth Resource Officer Leading Senior Constable Lisa Brooks, who will run parents through cyber safety for their children. During the day, the students at the school will also be taught about being safe online, and how to address cyber-bullying. School captains Perrin Graham and William Waller, pictured on the school’s buddy bench, will be in the senior school classes getting the rundown.

it?” he wrote.

“Unless there is due diligence, Mount Evelyn in the future Electoral Representation Reviews will be cut to ribbons and will lose its identity.”

Ms Hutchins, in a letter to Cr Callanan, said that though she believed the VEC’s review was “undertaken with objectivity, impartiality and rigor’, she was not convinced there were sufficient grounds to change the council model.

Ryrie Ward councillor Fiona McAllister, who was against the change, said she was “really pleased” with the minister’s decisions.

She said Ms Hutchins and Deputy Premier and Monbulk MP James Merlino had “understood” the council’s concerns with the change when meeting with them - particularly the geographic size of the wards.

The proposed new O’Shannassy Ward would have covered the entire Yarra Valley from Healesville to Warburton and Lilydale - with the other wards covering the urban area of the council and the Dandenong Ranges.

“It would have been a really significant shift to go to the three-bythree,” Cr McAllister said.

“That model’s been much more successful in the smaller but much denser urban areas in metropolitan Melbourne.

“I can certainly see the benefits of having multi-member wards but I can also see the benefit of retaining the structure we’ve got.”

Cr McAllister said she also had concerns about the changes being so close to the council election at the end of the year.

“To have declared a change of that significance so close to the election would have been really problematic for a lot of people,” she said.

PRESSURE from council and the community has prompted Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins to overturn the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC)’s proposed shift to a three-ward council.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Jason Callanan announced on Facebook on Thursday 2 June that the minister had overturned the VEC’s proposed ward change that would have turned the Yarra Ranges’ nine wards into three, each with three councillors.

Cr Callanan said that two wards had “very minor boundary movements” to accommodate population changes, but that the council structure of nine wards, nine councillors would be unchanged.

“There was a great amount of work behind the scenes by councillors, staff and the community,” he wrote.

“Our council structure will remain the same for the next four years!”

The announcement comes after the VEC concluded its review of the council’s electoral structure last year and proposed that the council change to three large multi-councillor wards.

Numerous councillors made submissions against any proposed change as part of the review, with many expressing concerns after the final recommendation was released.

Mt Evelyn Environment Protection and Progress Association’s Franc Smith, posted on the Mail’s Facebook page that he, Jan and Jean Edwards wrote and submitted “formal appeals” to Ms Hutchins.

Though he submitted in favour of a changed ward structure, he wrote that the final recommendation from the VEC was not one of their three discussed options, and “cut Mount Evelyn in half along Hereford Road”.

“Who wrote it, who mapped it, but more seriously who authorised

(EVELYN MP) Christine Fyffe’s comments on ‘how easy it would have been for the Shire of Yarra Ranges to relocate to the Swinburne site’ - and save money - is so typical of the Liberals’ policies.

Rather than see tertiary students of the Yarra Ranges area continue to use a modern, purpose-built campus, she and her ilk would have condemned them to cram into an inferior miniscule site in John Street in confined accommodation including recycled shipping containers.

Didn’t (Dennis) Napthine use these for gaol accommodation?

(Victorian Education Minister) James Merlino is to be congratulated for thrusting the future of tertiary education in the Yarra Ranges to the forefront.

Once again, Ms Fyffe’s utterances reveal just how truly bankrupt the Liberals’ concerns are for our nation’s young people.

Roger Willsher, The Patch.

Eyes wide open for re-opening I HAVE heard on the ever-reliable Yarra Valley grapevine that the eye clinic is set to return to Yarra Ranges Health in Lilydale.

While it is not confirmed, I sincerely hope this to be the case.

In April, I asked a constituency question in parliament after contact from a number of residents about difficulties they faced getting treatment for problems including cataracts, glaucoma and retinal detachment since the closure.

Most of us take our sight for granted.

But when conditions are left untreated, the loss of personal freedom is profound.

I hope that this is one rumour that becomes fact.

Tankers geared up

By JESSE GRAHAM FIRE-FIGHTING in the bush has been given a leg-up, with Powelltown’s Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) receiving eight new, re-designed ultralight tankers.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Professional four-wheel-drive tankers were handed out to the DELWP office at the end of May, following a prototype trial last year.

Forest fire management Yarra District manager Nigel Brennan said the tankers would replace old LandCruisers, and had a number of new features, including a larger water tank and a diesel pump.

The old tankers, he said, carried 400 litres - the new tankers, which are also called G-Wagons, can carry 630 litres.

“The situation we often find ourselves in, the source of water can be a long way away, so it can involve a long drive back to get more water,” Mr Brennan said.

“Having extra capacity can result in a pretty substantial increase in the effectiveness of the firefighting vehicle.”

The diesel pump, he said, is more powerful and reliable in extreme temperatures and on slopes, where the old petrol pumps can become unreliable.

“Petrol pumps, when operating on a slope, can get to a point where they don’t operate - that’s not an uncommon situation for us,” Mr Brennan said.

“Everywhere in the Yarra State Forest there are trees that are tall enough to ... cause a hazard,” Mr Brennan said.

“Everybody in the department,

whether they work out in the desert or work out in the forest like we do would come across a situation where they’re at risk of hazardous trees.

“We’re well and truly aware of the tree risk - I guess this is a response to that.”

The tankers have also been redesigned, so heavier items are lower and more accessible, and hoses can be

rewound electronically, rather than by hand.

He said the tankers would be the first response to a forest fire, and that the Powelltown office was one of the first to receive the new vehicles.

Other DELWP offices across the state are expected to receive the new tankers in the future.

“They were damaged by an unidentified explosive device, possibly placed inside the boxes,” Sgt Sunderland said.

The extent of the damage to the boxes is not known, and police are unsure of the bomber’s motives.

Sgt Sunderland said a green mailbox had been ripped out of the ground in the same period of time, but that police were investigating whether the 1229002-ACM23-16

WHEN it comes to ensuring a child’s safety online, Seville Primary School’s Danielle Henderson says supervision is paramount.

“It’s about knowing what your child’s doing ... but also talking to your child about exactly what they’re doing on the computer, and for what purpose,” she said.

“That communication is key as well.”

Cyber safety tips will be handed out to children and parents alike on Wednesday, 8 June, when the primary school holds a Cyber Safety Day and an evening information session for parents.

Ms Henderson said that children in Grades 4-6 would have Yarra Ranges Youth Resource Officer Leading Senior Constable Lisa Brooks teach them about how to stay safe online and about cyberbullying.

Younger classes, meanwhile, would learn about online safety as well as safety in public.

From 7pm, Leading Sen Const Brooks will teach parents and guardians about how to identify and prevent sexting, as well as risky behaviours and responding to “red flags”.

Ms Henderson said that parents should be supervising their children when they were online and staying aware of potentially dangerous messaging apps, which she said were coming out “weekly”.

“As educators, it’s even hard for us to keep up with what’s new, what’s out, what the kids are using,” she said.

“It’s (the Cyber Safety Day) is something that our community, I feel, is crying out for as far as an information session, because it’s such a hot topic at the moment among parents.”

She said the information session was open to all parents, guardians, staff and community members.

School council president Tamna Bomford said the day would give students skills for when they might be involved in incidents, such as cyber-bullying, online.

“You hear about kids that have tried to hurt themselves ... just from comments and things like that - you want to make them aware of what to do if that happens,” she said.

“A lot of the time, they’re like 'don’t tell' - you have to teach them that they have to tell someone.”

Ms Bomford said the school was also helping students who were having a hard time finding friends, installing a “buddy bench” and “buddy corner” - an area for students to sit when they’re lonely, and others can then come over to play with them.

The parent information session will be held at Seville Primary School on School Road, from 7pm on Wednesday, 8 June.

Entry is a gold coin donation, and tea and coffee will be provided. To book for the evening, call 5964 4557.

in the catchment area.

This ultimately leads to bitter disappointment.

I have seen some parents go as far as selling their homes and moving to a new area to scrape into the desired school’s catchment - a measure that seems somewhat unnecessary to me.

Perhaps it is because I am in the unique and privileged position of having visited all the schools in my electorate many times over that I have a more tempered and broad view of our educational standards.

Honestly, I am yet to find an example of a bad school in Evelyn.

I have been in classrooms during lessons and seen first-hand how happy our students look, the effort put in by teachers to personalise the learning experience so that information is retained and the dedication to improving student interaction and socialisation.

It is true that many of our schools have older buildings - and buildings that reflect the more rural nature of our community.

However, I encourage parents not to judge a school by its buildings.

My children went to school in the Yarra Valley and I am proud to say they have gone on to interesting, satisfying careers.

They attribute their success to the calibre of the teachers who nurtured their strengths and helped turn around their weaknesses.

They got a well-rounded and competitive education in the Yarra Valley.

What astounds me, however, is how many parents judge a book by its cover.

Schools that have older buildings with fewer ‘optional extras’, or have a more country feel, are often immediately dismissed as an option.

What about the curriculum and the teachers?

Once these parents have identified a school that has commercial and reputational appeal to them, they come to my office wanting help to lobby their preferred schools to take their child, or children.

With Victoria’s population growing around 100,000 people a year, parents sometimes forget most schools reach capacity quickly through accommodating just students who already live with-

Pink ladies call out

By JESSE GRAHAM THE Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink are calling for help to raise $14,000 for a member’s cancer treatment, teaming up with Upper Yarra community banks to gather funds.

YVLiP, a cancer support group based in the valley announced on its Facebook page that it would be running a fund-raiser for Mount Evelyn resident Paris George to try and raise $14,000 for the cancer treatment drug Olaparib.

The drug is not currently on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), and is needed to stave off a return of Ms George’s primary peritoneal cancer - her third cancer diagnosis in the last 10 years.

Ms George said she had beaten breast and ovarian cancer in the past, and during her more recent treatment, she had an anaphylactic reaction to the chemotherapy treatment, ruling out the treatment in future.

She has been using Olaparib for the last two months, but needs to pay for her coming three

months of treatment and the following three months - then she said the drug will be provided for free ongoing.

By the end of June, the group need to raise $6816 - and then raise the same sum three months down the track.

Donations through GoFundMe and the YVLiP have raised about $2000 towards the drug, but the group is now appealing for residents to help out, opening an account at the Seville Bendigo Community Bank.

Ms George said she was told that, after that, the drug will be provided free until it’s listed on the PBS. YVLiP member, Judy Sturt, said that residents had been forthcoming with donations, but that the Ladies in Pink were hoping to keep the momentum going over June to get Ms George over the line.

“It doesn’t matter how big or small, that’s what I put on the Facebook,” Ms Sturt said.

“Even five dollars - it builds up,” Ms George added.

Trump card to stump minister

By JESSE GRAHAM WOORI Yallock Primary School students had the chance to quiz Education Minister James Merlino last week, after he paid a visit to the school on Friday 3 June.

Mr Merlino toured the school with Northern Victoria MLC Jaclyn Symes on the Friday, going from class-to-class with principal Danny Hyndman.

When the MPs visited the Grade 5 and 6 classes, they spoke to students before a Q&A session that covered topics from homework to smoking, to Donald Trump.

Mr Merlino explained the Victorian Houses of Parliament to the students, including odd rules, such as

the width of the parliamentary table having to be longer than the length of two outstretched swords.

“So parliament began back in the old days, before electricity, before cars and planes - a long time ago,” he said.

“The width of this table is just a fraction wider than if the Premier drew his sword and the Opposition Leader drew his or her sword - they’ll just miss.

“It’s symbolic - it’s saying you can debate passionately ... but we’re a peaceful democracy. That’s what the chamber is all about.”

One student asked Mr Merlino, “What dumb thing would Donald Trump do if he was the president?”

“I reckon there’ll be a list of about 1000 dumb things that Donald Trump would do if he was president - he’s got some crazy ideas,” Mr Merlino replied.

The topic of homework was repeatedly raised by students, who were not satisfied by Mr Merlino’s final answer.

“You shouldn’t do hours and hours and hours every single night, but you need to do a bit of homework,” he said.

“No!” one student yelled back.

Yarra Valley’s Decision: LPG vs Natural Gas Do the math before deciding!

• Supply charges vary, with some national supplier tariffs starting ing from around $284 per year before any gas use, and this figure could be higher.

• The cost of converting gas appliances, according to Rinnai, is anywhere from $270 to $345 for EACH appliance.

• The natural gas supplier only runs the gas line from the main to the meter - everything after the meter is your responsibility and cost.

Your results will vary based on the available tariffs, your gas consumption and your cost to convert.

The following web page may assist you in your decision making

• Natural gas providers charge a daily supply charge, when you u multiply it by 365 days, it becomes a huge annual cost. ,3.(: 3;+

Raise a toast to SES

By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Valley Smaller Wineries are punching above their weight when it comes to supporting local emergency services.

YVSW president Tim Cullen, of Payne’s Rise Wines, handed over a cheque for $3800 to the Upper Yarra SES last month, taking to $60,000 donations made to emergency services from proceeds of the annual Shedfest Festival and The Shortest Lunch.

The events, which have been running for 14 and 18 years respectively, highlight the unique aspects of the valley’s smaller wineries - with the added benefit of supporting the emergency service volunteers.

Upper Yarra SES Controller Steve Green said the $3800 donation was a great help to the unit.

“We have to update our vehicles very soon and these funds can go towards that,� he said. “We would struggle to survive if we didn’t get people like those involved in the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries raising money through their events, and, of course, being so generous with it.�

Mr Cullen said YVSW members were very happy to be able to support the Upper Yarra SES, and other local emergency services, made possible in turn by the public’s support to make the events such a success each year.

The Shortest Lunch is coming up over the Winter Solstice weekend, 18 and 19 June, and diners can add an extra toast to themselves for their role in raising funds to support the emergency service volunteers. “The Shortest Lunch is our way

A GROUP of dedicated Healesville locals are trialling a brand new national framework and working towards reducing family violence.

The Healesville ‘Change the Story’ group meets once a month and uses a newly launched national framework to change the narrative and behaviours that cause violence in families.

The group is facilitated by the Rotary Club of Healesville with representatives from groups such as Eastern Health, Eastern Community Legal Centre and the Liberty Family Church.

The ‘change the story’ framework is an initiative of OurWatch,

VicHealth and Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety.

The first of its kind in the world, the framework brings together the latest international evidence on what drives violence against women, and what works to prevent it.

Josette O’Donnell, health promotion officer for Eastern Health, said a service like this was great for the Healesville area. “Healesville is a key area for violence against women,� she said. “We are passionate about empowering families and women work to change behaviour.�

Police are encouraging drivers to better adapt to the conditions. 155195

‘Drive to the conditions’

By PETER DOUGLAS LOCAL police are among many authorities urging drivers to stay safe this Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

The extra day off encourages many in the state to head off for a well-deserved break.

However, the recent wet conditions and the danger of driver fatigue should be at the forefront of drivers’ minds.

Leading Senior Constable Tim Stewart, from Healesville Police, warned drivers to heed the warning, particularly after a crash Saturday afternoon along Maroondah Highway, just outside of Healesville.

Leading Sen-Const Stewart said the crash occurred near the water tanks

(near the Black Spur, just out of town), when a car heading towards Healesville and a car heading towards Eildon collided.

The vehicles were badly damaged, though the drivers didn’t suffer any injuries.

Leading Senior-Constable Stewart encouraged drivers to adjust to the conditions.

“Take it a bit more easy, because those roads were super slippery up there,” he said.

That incident comes after a series of car crashes along the Warburton Highway, between Seville and Woori Yallock.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol said

about five to six crashes occurred on the highway, involving about eight cars.

Fortunately, only one injury was recorded, with a woman in her thirties taken to Maroondah Hospital in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, according to the Transport Accident Commission, 126 people have already lost their lives on Victorian roads in 2016, which is an overall increase of 15 when compared to last year.

This figure is well up on the fiveyear average of 116, with the highest during this period coming in 2011 with a figure of 134.

Of the road users, drivers lead this category by some margin, with 59 drivers losing their lives (compared to 55

last year), with motorcyclists (31), passengers (16) and pedestrians (17) making up the other major categories.

In particular, motorcyclists have showed a worrying trend, with a 138 per cent increase on last year.

Particularly during a long weekend, it’s more important than usual to be mindful of things like changing road conditions and driver fatigue.

Fatigue is suspected to be a primary cause of more than 20 per cent of road fatalities, according to the TAC. Driver Reviver sites will be set up across Victoria throughout the long weekend, offering tired drivers a chance to pull over and refresh.

While it might seem like only a

small thing, using these facilities, or even pulling over for a 15-minute power nap, could save your life.

How to beat driver fatigue: Get a good night’s sleep before heading off on a long trip; Don’t travel for more than eight to 10 hours a day; Take regular breaks - at least every two hours; Share the driving wherever possible; Don’t travel at times when you’d normally be sleeping; Take a 15-minute powernap if you feel yourself becoming drowsy.

WINTER dryness affects most skin types.

Although not everyone may notice a significant change to their skin, most people will feel the difference between winter and summer.

During winter, damage may be seen with skin feeling the effects of dryness from low humidity, as well as from winter winds and sun, since we don’t protect it as we do in summer.

The effects from heating will zap the lipids from the skin.

The lack of moisture can make skin work a lot harder, leading to redness, capillary damage and premature ageing, such as fine lines and flakiness.

A good skin-care system will help combat these effects.

Great steps to help at home: An extra exfoliation once a week to keep skin cells moving, can remove dry skin and aid assist new cells to except products more effectively; A key to protecting the skin in winter is a good serum with vitamins and anti-oxidants; Hydration and good moisturisers, as well as sun block, protect against the effects of winter; A masque once a week will do wonders and can help with the overall health of

GARDEN OF EDEN FIRST entry through white timber gates and along the winding track into their five-acre pioneer property, brings back nostalgic memories of days long past, of vast areas of lawn both open and amid scattered mature pines and of massive, majestic palms, planted in 1894.

A picture perfect orchard to the right with numerous varieties of fruit and citrus trees and to the left a defiant Amercian Redwood is another to have seen the dawn of two centuries. Then the property opens up a display for the visitor, an amazing 180 degree vista including the backdrop of the mountains, as far as the eye can see.

Perched on top of the gentle rise is the rendered three-bedroom besser brick

homestead, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows for the full length of its frontage so obviously constructed, to take full advantage of this panorama of the Yarra Valley, just 2.5klms from Wandin North CBD. Outside there is a detached, weatherboard sleep-out and after parking in the double brick garage/workshop, the main entry into the home is down broad steps into a large family room where visitors are greeted with impressive polished timber floors and a spectacular view across rambling lawns and gardens to the mountains beyond.

Heating and climate control is from an open “jet master” fire, gas space heater and inverter split system, so year round comfort is assured.

Walking left, past the study area perched in front of the main windows to again take advantage of this grand vista leads then to a bathroom and two bedrooms, one with access to the front verandah. On the other side of the living room, you step into the dining room where one can just imagine how, during silenct moments of warm dinner parties, eyes would again peer through windows to the views beyond. The beautifully, typically country kitchen, clean and white has a centrepiece stainless gas stove and range-hood and features a genuine breakfast bar and spacious pantry.

Surely a gardener’s paradise, outside the grounds of this property are equally engaging

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK with exotic trees and beds of ground cover plants drawing attention to a multiple variety of roses and providing the most serene setting for the additional weatherboard sleepout, lock-up brick garage/workshop and extensive sundry shedding. Let’s not forget the chooks too, safely locked away within their pen and adding to this largely selfsufficient paradise.

To complement this, ample water supply is provided through tanks and an effective irrigation system is supplied by a bore which services a highly productive little orchard made up of numerous fruit and citrus trees along with separate raised vegetable beds.

Festival set for our screen

By JESSE GRAHAM FILM lovers should set aside the weekend of 17 to 19 June for an annual event sure to inspire, with the Warburton Film Festival bringing worldwide films to the Upper Yarra Arts Centre.

The festival will open on Friday 17 June with its ‘Show us your Shorts’ program, screening short films by young film-makers in the Yarra Ranges and beyond.

The short films will run from 1pm to 5pm, before awards are handed out to the best of the lot, and the Official Grand Opening will begin at 6.30pm.

From there, Putuparri and the Rainmakers will be screened, following the story of one man struggling to fulfil his destiny in the face of Australia’s Indigenous history. The film’s director Nicole Ma will take part in a Q&A session after the film.

In total, the festival boasts nine feature films, made in France, Germany, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and Brazil, among other countries.

A dinner and trivia event will also be held on Saturday 18 June, before the festival’s final day on Sunday.

The Yarra Ranges Film Society (YRFS), in partnership with Yarra Ranges Council and the Upper Yarra Community Enterprise, has organised the festival, which is in its 33rd year.

Festival co-ordinator and YRFS vice-president Sally Ahern said the society had been busy dropping bro-

YRFS treasurer Laurie Hastings said that, on average, each screening draws more than 100 attendees, and that he hoped residents from the area

would stop by to see the festival.

“We do have quite a lot of people from other places, from Melbourne and around the state - but I think there’s been a lot more local interest,” he said.

“It’s picked up quite well - I’ve been involved for 15 years and in the last four

or five years it’s really taken off.”

Ms Ahern and Mr Hastings said each year’s festival aims to have films from different countries than the last year’s event, and to showcase movies that many people may not have seen.

Nice Guys make it last The Nice Guys (MA15+) Starring: Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe and Angourie Rice THE Nice Guys is another exceptional action comedy by neo-noir master Shane Black.

In 1977, down-on-his-luck private investigator Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and burly enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) team up to investigate the disappearance of a young actress, and uncover a far-reaching conspiracy involving the porn and automotive industries of Detroit.

Lurid yet lucid, The Nice Guys is one of the most shamelessly fun and well-crafted movie experiences you’ll have this year.

Gosling and Crowe have outstanding chemistry as adversarial partners, and Gosling delivers plenty of hilarious physical comedy. The dialogue crackles with wit, and the humour is very organic within the plot. The pacing is perfect, and the film gradually unravels a compelling mystery, with satisfying pay-off for early clues.

The cast is uniformly ex-

necessarily had a wide distribution it’s not good putting on films that everyone’s seen,” Mr Hastings said.

“So we try to find really good films that, for whatever reason, haven’t had a commercial release - or, if they have, it’s been a fairly limited one.”

Mr Hastings said that one of the festival’s films, Force of Destiny, was directed by festival patron and supporter Paul Cox. Ms Ahern said that having Ms Ma at the festival to speak about her film would be an opportunity to add to the experience of seeing her film.

“It puts on another layer to what you’ve actually seen, doesn’t it?” she said.

Tickets to individual screenings are $13.50, or $12 for concession holders - with $12 per film or $11 for concession holders when buying a multi-pass of three or more films.

Visitors can purchase a season ticket for all nine films for $100, $95 for concession holders or $40 for those under 16. Alternatively, they can buy ‘The Lot’ and get entry to all nine films with entry to the festival dinner and the grand opening for $125, or $115 for concession.

The Show us your Shorts event has free entry, but bookings are essential.

cellent, and of special note is young Aussie actress Angourie Rice (the star of These Final Hours, my film of the year for 2014), who is mature and wise beyond her years as Holly, March’s daughter.

The humour and action go hand-in-hand, as the gun fights and brawls combine earnest slapstick with brutal, visceral impact.

Smart, engrossing and often hysterically funny, The Nice Guys is a groovy time at the movies.

�� Connecting people with local sport…

Wet weather conditions THE first really wet and foggy conditions greeted all on Saturday. Cool temperatures and slippery conditions made it a day of hard slogging football while the netball skills suffered in the fine rain.

Belgrave got its second win and have moved up to 8th position, while Healesville had a great win over Olinda and now share equal second with three other clubs.

Wandin flexed its muscles and sit second on percentage.

Upwey enjoyed a solid performance against Mount Evelyn, while Monbulk had a come-frombehind win to knock off Woori Yallock.

Gembrook now sit equal second with Kinglake after their win over Yarra Junction, while Alexandra continue to improve, beating Seville.

Yarra Glen are now two games clear on top and the only undefeated side.

Wandin sit one game clear on top of the A Grade netball; Seville and Yarra Glen share top spot but meet each other next week for what will be the game of the round.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Belgrave 9.15(69) d Emerald 9.6(60) This was a game that Emerald needed to win to stay in touch with the teams on the lower end of the ladder. Emerald started well, kicking four goals straight to 2.5 from Belgrave. Another 2 goals to 1 saw Emerald take a lead of 11 points into the main break. Belgrave regrouped at halftime and had a 31-point turnaround in the third to take a 16-point lead at three-quarter time. Emerald kicked 3.1 to 2 straight in the last but it still was not enough and they will be disappointed that they let this one slip.

Belgrave Best: P. Gough (4 goals), M. Johnson, W. Carlyle (2 goals), J. Pearce, C. Power, D. Loosz.

Emerald Best: S. Paull, M. Steer, C. Thomsen, Michael Dompietro, L. McKenna, B. Moloney.

Healesville 7.14(56) d Olinda Ferny Creek 6.6(42) Olinda started like they left off last week, kicking 3.2 to 101 taking a 13-point lead into the first break. A two goal to three quarter reduced their lead to 12 at half-time. Healesville pulled out all stops in the third and the defence stood tall as they held Olinda goalless while kicking 2.6 in the third. Was indirect kicking going to come back and haunt them? They should have been more than 5 points in front at three-quarter time.

Centre breaks were what one it for them in the end as they managed to hold back a determined Olinda and ran away with a 14-point win.

Healesville Best: D. Anderson (1 goal), N. Mende, A. Davies, M. Jeffery, M. Anson, D. Plozza.

Olinda Ferny Creek Best: L. Hill, M. Wright (1 goal), K. Currie, D. Wilson, B. Walter (3 goals), N. Syme.

Wandin 21.17(143) d Warburton Millgrove 6.9(45) Wandin never gave Warburton any look in on Saturday. With Michael Fowkes and Jarrod Bayliss kicking five goals, it was going to make it a long day at the office. Wandin started off well with a 6 goal first quarter. It was the second that spelled the result for Warburton with Wandin, kicking 7 goals to 1 and a comfortable lead of 61 points at half time. The final result could have been more than 98 points if Wandin had kicked straight.

Wandin Best: J. Bayliss (5 goals), R. Ross (1 goal), M. Polkinghorne (2 goals), J. Ladner, M. Fowkes (5 goals), M. O’Donohue.

Warburton Millgrove Best: L. Barnard, T. Walker, J. Mullan, T. McKail, D. Bedggood, J. Iacono.

Upwey Tecoma 14.18(102) d Mount Evelyn 10.13(73) Mount Evelyn - like others over the weekend - took the early lead but then were run over by a team that was more determined and driven to win.

Upwey kicked 8 goals to 1 in the second and a 41 half-time lead to seal the fate of Mount Evelyn

The match between Alexandra and Seville was slogged out in the wet conditions. 155173 early. Mount Evelyn outscored Upwey in the last half kicking 6.9 to Upwey’s 4.9 but it was never going to be enough to claw back the end result.

Upwey Tecoma Best: A. Clifford (2 goals), R. Peterson, S. Mitchell (2 goals), T. Robinson (1 goal), K. Hinton, J. Hackett (1 goal).

Mount Evelyn Best: R. Cowan (1 goal), D. Kift, A. Chalkley (2 goals), D. Maynard, G. Gosland, D. Duarte.

Monbulk 10.6(66) d Woori Yallock 8.15(63) This game was tight all day. Jordy Williams and Ben Monkhorst were back in the team and was surely going to bring some stability back to the forward line. It was all tied up at quarter time and it was game on. Monbulk took a slim 4-point lead at half-time, kicking 2.2 to Woori’s 1.4. Woori kicked back on the third, kicking 3.5 to 1.1. Monbulk rallied in the last and kicked 5 goals straight to Woori’s 2.3 which gave Monbulk a heart stopping 3-point victory.

Monbulk Best: D. Ward, B. Hicken, J. Mohr, C. Sharpe (1 goal), D. Werts, M. Langworthy (4 goals).

Woori Yallock Best: J. Williams (1 goal), S. Kennedy (1 goal), M. Lowe, J. Williamson, H. Smith, K. Thompson.

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Gembrook Cockatoo 7.18(60) d Yarra Junction 6.3(39) Gembrook sit second on the ladder by percentage after a good come from behind win. The result should have been greater but again bad kicking could have spelt danger but they were good enough in their defensive line to hold Yarra Junction out. Junction held the lead up to half time and was 13 points up at the main break. Gembrook held them scoreless in the third, while kicking 2.9 in the third. The result should have been greater but Gembrook did enough to come away with another four points.

Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: M. Maddison, D. Scott, A. Mitchell (1 goal), S. Martin, B. Fenton, E. Tomlin.

Yarra Junction Best: F. D'Agostino, E. Wadsworth, Q. Hodgkinson, S. Williams, M. Duke.

Kinglake 12.14(86) d Powelltown 6.7(43) Kinglake had what would be thought by a few as an unexpected win on Saturday. Eight scoring shots to three gave them a handy 20-point lead at quarter time. Another 3.5 to 3.2 in the second made little difference to the lead at half-time. The game was a bit of a game between the back lines

Olinda Ferny Creek netballers put their best foot forward over the weekend. 155173

in the second and third quarters with scoring being even and Kinglake only increased their lead to 24 points at the three-quarter time break. This was not out of Powelltown’s reach at all. Kinglake played a better brand of footy in the last, holding Powelltown goalless while adding 3 to their score. A good solid win in the end.

Kinglake Best: R. Mallison (4 goals), M. Rowlands (1 goal), A. Whelan (1 goal), T. ThoneKain, M. McAllister, B. Wilkinson.

Powelltown Best: S. Sanders, N. Moody, P. Miller, D. Dyer, D. Edgeworth (1 goal), M. McArthur.

Alexandra 8.8(56) d Seville 7.11(53) Alexandra also surprised a few on the weekend with a gutsy 3-point win over Seville. Alexandra were never headed all day and held a healthy 24-point lead at half time. Seville outscored Alexandra in the second half kicking 6.7 to 3.4 and you would think 13 scoring shots to 7 would have seen Seville get home but inaccuracy was again as was the story over the weekend was their undoing. Alexandra and Seville now sit on four wins each after Round 7.

Alexandra Best: C. Heaslip, B. Wallace, C. Tranter, M. Coombs (2 goals), D. Roper.

Seville Best: G. Annowsky, R. Davis (1 goal), A. Wind, B. Penwill, J. Bourke-Finn, D. Groen.

Yarra Glen 12.11(83) d Yea 5.10(40) This game was an opportunity for Yea to get themselves one game clear of the others below them on the ladder and keep them in touch with the top part of the ladder. On the other hand, it was a chance for Yarra Glen to give them some breathing space coming into rounds 8 and 9 when Seville and Gembrook are their opponents. Yea got a good start kicking the first 2 goals of the game but then Yarra Glen kicked into gear kicking the next 4 to take a 13-point lead into qtr time.

Yarra Glen played a consistent four quarters of football in slippery, wet conditions coming away with a 43-point win.

Yarra Glen Best: L. Hoffman (1 goal), K. Hudson (1 goal), J. Smith (1 goal), G. Filsell, C. Tait, D. Hurley (1 goal).

Yea Best: B. Cunningham (1 goal), D. Evans, A. Hobbs (2 goals), P. Evans, R. Aldous, J. Marasco.

Maria laps Australia MARIA Lissenburg, 55, celebrated the final lap of a ‘virtual’ run around Australia on Saturday, with the celebrations taking place at Lilydale Lake in front of a huge band of supporters.

The mother of three, who hails from Castella, finished a 14,080km run, which is the distance it would take to run around Australia.

In completing the required distance on Saturday, which, incredibly, has taken her less than two and a half years, Lissenburg is just the third person to finish Run Down Under since it was established in 2014.

Run Down Under is an online virtual run around Australia, requiring participants to submit the distance of each run or walk they complete.

Lissenburg said she was chuffed to have achieved the distance.

“When I first started, I thought it would take longer to finish,” she said.

“To come third overall is pretty special.

“Before joining Run Down Under, I was running about 35km per week, with my longest run ever being 25km.

After completing her marathon, Maria Lissenburg joined other runners for another run around Lillydale Lake. 155153 “In the first week of this new challenge, I went all out ... then I saw I was coming third.

“At this point, my competitive side kicked in ... and if I wasn’t running, I’d go for a walk to increase my kilometres.”

Lissenburg said her journey kicked off other ambitions.

“I had a goal to run a marathon, too, but kept thinking the distance was too much,” she said.

“So I decided to walk the length of the Lilydale to Warburton rail trail, which is about 40km.”

Run Down Under founder and director, Travis Ireland, was at the Lilydale finish on Saturday.

Mr Ireland made a special presentation to recognise her amazing achievement.

He said she chose her local Lilydale Lake run because she could complete the distance with many of her running friends.

He said she also would’ve clocked many kilometres around Lilydale Lake.

For more information on the initiative, visit www.rundownunder.com.au.

Maria Lissenburg is the third person to finish Run Down Under. 155153 Pictures: GREG CARRICK

Motoring Batteries hate the cold, too battery power.

“If your battery is more than three years old, it could be time to replace it.”

To avoid battery trouble this winter, RACV members can call an RACV battery specialist for free anywhere across Greater Melbourne and Geelong to: Check the overall condition of your battery, including the vehicle’s charging system; Make sure you’ve got the right type of battery for your car; Run some basic preventative maintenance, such as cleaning your battery, checking fluid levels (if required), and ensuring your battery is secure in its housing.

Warning signs: The vehicle cranks slowly when trying to start.

A grinding, clicking or buzzing can be heard when you turn on the ignition.

The headlights dim while you idle.

The vehicle’s battery is more than three years old.

Reasons why: Cold weather can slow the chemical reactions that take place inside the battery, reducing the power output,

sometimes resulting in your vehicle not being able to start and ultimately shortening the battery’s life.

Increased use of vehicle’s headlights, wipers, heater, heated seats and rear-screen heaters put additional strain on the battery.

More battery power is required to over-ride the impacts from cold weather on the fuel and ignition systems.

Typical lifespan of a battery is between three and five years, after which the performance will diminish.

What motorists can do: Make sure your vehicle’s service history is up to date before the cold weather hits.

Make sure you have the right type of battery for your car (rated according to your manufacturer’s specifications).

Keep the top of your battery and terminals clean and free of built-up dirt, if accessible.

Also look out for corrosion on your terminals as it can inhibit the flow of current.

Consider getting an expert to check the condition of your battery, that you’ve got the right type of battery for your car and run some basic preventative maintenance.

FOLLOWING a warmer-thanaverage autumn, Victorians are scrambling for jackets, beanies and gloves, as winter has the state in a chilly grip this week.

However, RACV has urged motorists not to forget their car battery could be struggling, too.

“Getting old is hard - especially when the cold weather comes around,” RACV Motoring and Mobility general manager Gordon Oakley said.

“In the same way that we’re having trouble getting started in the morning and the cold weather makes some of us go a bit slower, car batteries are also feeling the cold.”

Last winter, RACV Emergency Roadside Assistance received more than 100,000 calls for help from motorists experiencing battery problems.

Some of these emergencies can be avoided by following a few simple tips.

“It is important that the battery you have fitted is in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

“If possible, park your car indoors or under cover to keep it as warm as possible overnight.

“Keeping the top of your battery clean can prevent dirt build-up from draining your
