TRIBUTES have poured in to the Mail following news last week of the sad passing of Mardie Lambert.

Mardie, the founding editor and part owner of Mountain Views Newspaper, died on Tuesday, 19 July, 2016, at Holmwood Nursing Home. She was 86 years old.

Tributes online and on the Mail and Growing Up In Healesville Facebook pages reflect the impact she had on the Healesville and wider community as a staunch and generous community member, journalist and employer.

Mardie’s passion for establishing a truly community-based newspaper in Healesville, and the wider Yarra Valley, and the hard work and energy she invested to put the paper on the street week after week, made her a household name. To Mountain Views readers and to the readers in the making, she was known simply as ‘Mardie’.

The first edition of Mountain Views on 11 July, 1979, was eagerly awaited and reflecting some years later on how it all came about, Mardie wrote of the struggle to get support for a new paper in the town and the rewards.

“So many people were barracking for us,” she wrote.

She recalled the reception that first edition was given in Healesville as “close to ecstatic” and said people were hugging her in the main street, delighted to have a real community newspaper again.

“We had had so many hundreds of callers wishing us well before the event, and congratulating us after the first edition came out on 11 July, we felt all the blood, sweat and tears had been worthwhile,” she said of the first issue.

After three months (not years as reported last week), when the financial backers of the paper pulled out, Mardie gathered support through shareholders to refinance the paper and, for a while at least, it went from strength to strength.

It was almost a year after the first issue that Mountain Views was asked to extend its coverage to Upper Yarra. Mardie’s husband, Harrie, joined the company around that time too and the paper provided a valuable voice to the community until its demise in 1996.

The Mail management and staff offer condolences to Mardie’s family, friends and the many readers who, as the tributes reprinted here attest, remember her contribution to the Yarra Valley community as a talented, passionate and committed newspaper woman.

A service celebrating Mardie’s life – before, during and after Mountain Views, will be held at Heritage Funeral Home in Woori Yallock at 1pm on Wednesday, 28 July.

Moira Burgi at her 100th birthday party in Gruyere. 157200

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

Moira’s 100, still not out

By JESSE GRAHAM FRIENDS, family and wellwishers gathered at the Gruyere Hall on Sunday, 24 July, to congratulate the Yarra Valley’s latest centenarian, Moira Burgi.

Ms Burgi turned 100 years old on Monday, 25 July, and more than 100 people gathered to celebrate the occasion at the hall, which had been decorated with pieces of family history.

Her nephew Peter Burgi said the family’s entire family tree dating back to the first generation in Australia had been printed out, metres long, and stuck to the wall of the hall.

Moira Burgi is an easy name to find on the list, being a grandchild of the first Burgi in the area - her grandfather, Johann, came to Victoria in 1854 and moved to the then-completely undeveloped Wandin area in 1866.

Her parents, Edmund and Mary, then built a house in Victoria Road, where Ms Burgi grew up and still lives now.

On a television, photos from Ms Burgi’s life flashed by in a slideshow, showing family moments and interstate trips.

When asked how she felt about her 100th birthday, Ms Burgi said it felt like “it’s happening to somebody else”.

“I’ve lived in this area all my life - I live in the same house I ever lived in,” she said.

“My grandparents were the first people in Wandin and they brought my father with them so he and I have seen the whole of Wandin. It’s changed from the forest ... to what you see here today.

“It’s incredible. It’s 150 years ... such a change could take place anywhere.”

In a written note to visitors at the party, Ms Burgi said that when she grew up, there were no toys to play with and few children around, except for family members.

She wrote that church was an hour away in an open jinker (a cart used for transporting logs), but the family never missed a week.

On a table at the party were photocopies of letters congratulating Ms Burgi from Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove, Victorian Governor Linda Dessau and Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe.

Moira is the last surviving member of her generation of Burgis, and saw off the eve of her 100th birthday surrounded by well-wishers, family and friends.

HEALESVILLE’S Luke Chandler has been awarded for his efforts in the cricketing world, receiving a NAIDOC Week award in a ceremony on Monday 18 July.

Luke, 15, was awarded the Eastern Metropolitan Region’s NAIDOC 2016 Youth Sporting Achievement Award at the Yarra Ranges Council chambers on Monday evening, accompanied by his parents.

The award, an Aboriginalmade engraved Wathaurong glass platter, was announced at the EMR NAIDOC Ball and Awards night earlier in the month.

Councillors Maria McCarthy and Fiona McAllister presented Luke with the award, which paid tribute to the teenager’s stellar track record in the cricket world.

“Last year, Luke was one of 12 young Victorian Indigenous cricketers selected to undertake the journey of a lifetime to Dubai, to take part in the England cricket legend, Kevin Pietersen’s cricket academy,” Cr McAllister said.

“Luke had the opportunity to train under Pietersen’s watchful eye, attend international matches, meet high profile cricketers and compete in Pietersen’s T20 World Cup, representing Australia.”

Councillors Fiona McAllister and Maria McCarthy with NAIDOC Week Youth Sporting Achievement Award Picture: JESSE GRAHAM recipient, Luke Chandler. 156948 Luke, a Healesville resident, currently plays for Lilydale’s cricket club and previously played for Healesville.

He told the Mail that he has been playing cricket since he was seven, after growing up playing matches in the backyard.

Cr McAllister said the council was “thrilled” to sponsor the award each year, and congratulated Luke for his efforts.

“There is such incredible talent locally, but I’m very proud to say a lot of it is in the Yarra Valley and around Healesville, and a huge congratulations, Luke, for what you’ve already

achieved,” she said.

“We look forward to watching you play for Australia in the future.”

Aunty Irene Norman received the EMR NAIDOC Elders Award, while Marissa Atkinson and Sandra Nolan received Community Awards.

Brooke Collins and Corina Ritchie received Caring for Country Awards at the ball, while Meg Renfrey received the Non-Indigenous Award; Nora Young received the Youth Education and Employment Award, while the Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place Choir won the Arts Award.

New power is a life-saver

By PETER DOUGLAS WOORI Yallock will be the starting point of a major roll-out of bushfire mitigation technology throughout Victoria.

The township has been deemed to be the highest priority among a further 21 substations targeted throughout the north and east of the state, when taking into consideration factors such as population and likelihood of a major bushfire event.

Until the end of September at the Woori Yallock substation, AusNet Services will be installing Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiter (REFCL) technology, which experts believe could halve the incidence of powerline-started fires.

The device stops an electrical current within milliseconds of a powerline coming into contact with the ground or vegetation, stopping a fault before it can start a fire.

Customer and Community manager of AusNet Services, Gareth Downes, said it would be a major safety boost for the region.

“In normal circumstances, even half a second of the line coming into contact with the ground is enough to start a fire, but REFCL cuts it off in milliseconds,” he said.

“There are still no guarantees, but testing suggests there is a significant reduction in the likelihood of a fire starting.”

Final testing in Kilmore last year found the REFCL technology reduces by 10 times the likelihood of a bushfire starting from a high voltage powerline fault.

Mr Downes said there would be additional benefits for those residing within a network where REFCL technology had been installed.

“When REFCL cuts the power, it doesn’t mean that customers downstream will lose supply,” he said.

“It immediately switches power across.”

Praveen Raju, Owen Hart and Peter Robinson at the Woori Yallock substation. 157150 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

The Woori Yallock substation takes in a large region, from Healesville on the west side to as far as Reefton on the east.

Towns include Healesville, Fernshaw, Badger Creek, Mount Donna Buang, McMahons Creek, Reefton, Warburton, Wesburn, Big Pats Creek, Launching Place, Seville, Hoddles Creek, Gladysdale, Three Bridges Gilderoy and Powelltown.

The technology was developed in Victoria in response to the recommendations of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, intended to make powerlines safer in bushfire-risk areas.

Over the next seven years, electricity distributors will be required to install REFCLs in 45 substations in bushfire danger areas across the state.

In addition, more than 1000 remotely adjustable automatic circuit re-

closers will be rolled out on the singlephase, high-voltage network, which will allow distributors to detect faults more quickly at times of high bushfire risk.

In areas of high bushfire risk, electricity distribution businesses will also be required to progressively replace their powerlines by insulating the cables or burying them underground.

While works and testing are taking

place at the Woori Yallock substation, power outages are a possibility.

But Mr Downes expected there would be minimal disruption and for only relatively short periods.

Guides go it alone in secular future after church farewell HEALESVILLE’S Girl Guides will have a secular future after the organisation’s head office ordered the group to distance itself from the St John’s Anglican Church earlier this month.

The Girl Guides’ former leader Cherida Anderson said she and another leader had resigned from the group after a meeting on 1 July where Girl Guides Victoria demanded the group no longer be associated with the church.

She said for two years before the meeting the group had been run at the church, with the church referenced in the Guides’ name, and that permission

had been sought from Girl Guides Victoria (GGV) before doing so.

“We asked them for permission, we asked the church for permission - we got permission from both and we went ahead and made the transition for the girls who were already in the unit, and it went from there,” Ms Anderson said.

“It was very clear that it didn’t matter what we said - they didn’t want a Christian unit and they wanted us to stop our relationship with the church and take the church’s name off the title of the unit.

“So for myself and the other leader, who are members of the church, we resigned.”

The Guides group will continue with new leaders and without the association with the church, and will continue to use the church space until the end of the term.

GGV CEO Jennifer Fleming told the Mail there was no agreement in place that the Healesville group could have a religious component.

She said that GGV had “explicit confirmation” from Healesville residents that the group being aligned with the church had discouraged people from other backgrounds from attending.

“The Girl Guides in Healesville had permission to meet in the church; the

Girl Guides in Healesville didn’t have permission to use the format of Girl Guides to teach the teachings of the church in Girl Guides, and that is what they’ve been doing,” Ms Fleming said.

“Guides meet in lots of different contexts - sometimes in guidance halls, sometimes they meet in churches, sometimes they meet at schools that have a religious background - but all groups are open to girls of any faith and no groups are for the purpose of teaching religious instruction.

“We had a number of complaints from the community, because girls wanted to participate in Girl Guides but families didn’t want to send girls ADVERTISEMENT

to church teaching to give them a Girl Guides experience - what was happening was a form of passive discrimination.”

Ms Fleming said that, while Guides groups in the past may have been aligned with “other organisations”, the group had changed in recent years to be “open and inclusive”.

Ms Anderson said that many of the girls attending the Guides under her leadership were not religious, and denied that girls may have been excluded because of the group’s affiliation.

“We’re not excluding anybody, and we never have - and all the other leaders agreed.”

Growth in food allergies CURRENTLY between 10 per cent and 13 per cent of Australian children avoid particular foods due to food allergy or intolerance reactions.

This figure has grown by 350 per cent since the 1990s with the most common foods being egg, dairy, peanuts, soy, shellfish and wheat.

While some reactions can be lifethreatening, the majority are more benign but still cause concerning symptoms like eczema, digestive complaints and behaviour issues.

So why is the rate of food allergy on the rise?

Food allergy and intolerance is predominantly a Western world problem with traditional cultures showing minimal incidence.

Healthy

Paediatric Naturapath – Healesville

Studies observe that as nations develop and become more ‘Westernised’, the rate of allergic illness begins to rise.

So what factors are leading to high rates of allergies?

The science would suggest that lifestyle factors play a large part.

Overly clean or sterile environ-

ments, eating too much refined and processed foods, reduction in time outdoors and insufficient vitamin D, higher rates of Caesarean birth and quite possibly our expanding waistlines.

We know these factors alter metabolic and physiological pathways in the body.

As a result, the signalling systems that cause chronic inflammation get stuck in the ‘on’ position.

Food itself isn’t the problem, rather the problem lies with the body’s immune system.

Your gut is home to millions of microbes that influence immune signalling.

The kind of microbes inhabiting the

gut in early childhood affect how well a fledgling immune system develops.

When numbers of beneficial microbes in the gut are reduced, immune function changes and the body creates more inflammation.

This can lead to people becoming susceptible to allergic-type reactions from food.

Chronic digestive symptoms like pain, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation can be a sign of food intolerance.

Conditions like eczema, asthma or a constant running nose are also very often related to allergies.

First, identify which foods are perpetuating the problem then remove these foods from the diet.

The length of time will vary person to person and depends on the severity of the allergy but an experienced practitioner will be able to guide you safely.

The immune system needs to be settled into a more appropriate and less inflammatory mode.

It is important to identify if there are underlying nutrient deficiencies, whether malabsorption or leaky gut is a problem, or if there are pathogens hijacking gut function and diminishing populations of healthy microbes?

In this way, treatment will target individual needs and address the mass underneath the iceberg tip. * Tim Howden is a paediatric naturopath in Healesville

It’s official for Casey

By JESSE GRAHAM THE Australian Electoral Commission has formally declared the seat of Casey for Tony Smith, with more than 90,000 votes counted for the area.

On Friday, 22 July, Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) Casey Divisional Returning Officer Sally-Ann Cook declared Mr Smith as officially re-elected to the seat for the next three years for the Liberal Party.

Ms Cook declared the results of the election at the AEC’s Divisional Office in Ringwood, with Mr Smith and two members of his staff present.

In first preference votes, Mr Smith received 45,679 votes, while Labor’s Hovig Melkonian received 26,164; The Greens’ Dr Elissa Sutherland received 10,778 votes, Animal Justice Party candidate Kristin Bacon received 4181, independent Peter Charleton received 2879, while Rise Up Australia’s Angela Dorian received 2554.

On a two-party preferred basis, Mr Smith received 51,696 votes, 56.05 per cent of the vote, while Mr Melkonian received 40,539 - 43.95 per cent.

Of the 95,848 votes cast in Casey, 3613 - 3.77 per cent were informal. “It’s an enormous honour and very humbling to be elected as a member of the House of Representatives, particularly in my case for the sixth time as the member for Casey,� Mr Smith said in a victory speech at the declaration. “I’m very conscious I’m the only person to have been elect-

He said his victory was a time to look towards the coming three years in office, rather than reflecting on the campaign that had been run, and thanked his supporters, staff, family and AEC staff.

Mr Smith made particular note of the supporters on the ground on Election Day, who handed out how-to-vote cards at polling places. “No matter how hard a candidate works, no matter how much information you send out, you simply cannot be elected unless you have the support of a few hundred people, so that is very humbling as well,� he said.

Mr Smith will retain his role as Speaker in the House of Representatives until a vote is held before parliament sits on 30 August.

WARBURTON CFA Captain, Hazel Clothier, is one of four volunteer fire-fighters appointed to the CFA Board on 19 July.

The English-born brigade leader came to Australia 16 years ago and moved with her family from the inner city to Warburton eight years ago.

She was one of a large number of highly qualified candidates who registered interest when the Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) put out an urgent call to action on 17 June for the remaining four of the nine CFA Board positions.

Under the CFA Act, the four VFBV nominated members must include two volunteer members of brigades predominantly serving urban communities, and two from brigades predominantly serving rural communities.

Captain Clothier will represent CFA volunteers at a tumultuous time.

The restructure of the CFA Board followed the controversial sacking of the existing board back in June over their refusal to back a new United Fire Fighters Union EBA (Enterprise Bargaining Agreement).

Emergency Services Minister, Jane Garrett, resigned, followed by CFA Chief Executive, Lucinda Nolan and Chief Fire Officer, Joe Buffone.

Captain Clothier acknowledged last week that it was a challenging new role. “Everyone is well aware that the CFA is going through a difficult time, but it’s not something to shirk away from,� she said. “It’s more important now than ever that CFA volunteers have a voice at the highest level of the CFA. “We need to make a CFA that’s strong for everybody at all levels of the CFA.�

She said the very large number of CFA volunteers who responded to the VFBV’s call for nominations reflected the commitment of the state’s 60,000 strong CFA volunteers. “People were very keen to make sure that the VFBV had a large pool of people to get the right skills,� she said.

The skill set is clearly set out under the CFA Act. And Captain Clothier’s skill set is impressive

:LOOLDP 0DWWKHZV )81(5$/6

on many levels, starting with her history of volunteerism.

Her ‘day job’ is as an epidemiologist concentrating on infectious diseases and public health and she also lectures at the University of Melbourne.

Before coming to Australia she spent nine years in Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon islands as a volunteer and later as a project officer with a focus on public health.

Her experience in pandemic planning and management of outbreaks, she says may not be traditional skills required in her new role, but provide a valuable research and evidence-based approach, and the analytical skills that the Act prescribes. “This is huge, and a real honour for which I’m delighted to have the opportunity, although it’s not going to be easy,� Captain Clothier said. “I see this as a way of further supporting the Warburton brigade and the brigades of the Yarra Valley.�

She added the feeling was mutual, with brigade members greeting her after the announcement last week with flowers, cake and wine. “It’s lovely to have that brigade support behind me,� she said.

Life and times of the battle lost

By JESSE GRAHAM AT 11am on Tuesday, 19 July, a small group gathered in Lilydale to commemorate the life of Lilydale’s John James Purcell, who fought and died in the Somme Offensive 100 years ago.

The memorial service was held 100 years to the day since Purcell was last seen, when he charged over the top of his trench on 19 July 1916 during the Battle of Fromelles.

Lilydale RSL president Don Parsons joined Yarra Ranges Councillor Terry Avery to speak about Purcell’s life and his service, after being born in Lilydale in 1890.

After growing up in Lilydale, Purcell moved to Balaclava with his family, and enlisted in the AIF on 26 June 1915 - he was trained in Seymour, and embarked with the 8th reinforcements for the 8th Battalion on 15 September.

He was sent to Gallipoli in November, but was evacuated on 7 December, returning to Egypt and being transferred to the 60th Battalion.

After being charged and found guilty of ‘absenting himself without leave’, for which he was sentenced to 56 days field punishment and forfeiting five days’ pay, he was sent to France and the Battle of Fromelles, as part of the Somme Offensive.

A court of inquiry on 4 August 1917 declared Purcell as killed in action.

Though his name does not feature on Lilydale’s war memorial, Purcell is one of many remembered at the Y Farm Military Cemetery in France.

School captains and principals from

Lilydale Primary School’s Jamie Knight, Bailey Jacobs, Rose Morris and Laura Callanan, with Bimbadeen Heights Primary School’s Weston Tabone and Courtney Canning, Yarra Ranges Councillor Terry Avery and Lilydale RSL president Don Parsons at the memorial service. 156981 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Lilydale Primary School and Bimbadeen Heights Primary School attended the memorial, and Mr Parsons laid a wreath at the cenotaph after the speeches.

He then recited The Ode, and the group paused for The Last Post in remembrance of Purcell and other fallen soldiers.

The memorial is one of many being held on the 100th anniversary of local

soldiers’ deaths, at Lilydale, Wandin, Montrose, Mooroolbark and Coldstream/Yering’s war memorials.

Mount Evelyn and Lilydale’s RSLs are organising the ceremonies, with the next to be held on Tuesday 26 July, at 11am at Lilydale’s memorial to remember William John Chauvin, with another service on Thursday, 28 July, in Wandin for Leopold Claude James Muir.

Opinion Not so sustainable SO CR Jim Child thinks the “existing forestry industry", including ongoing clearfell logging of Yarra Ranges forests, is sustainable (Mountain Views Mail, 19 July). No surprises there, his one-eyed support for the industry is, regrettably, a matter of public record. However it becomes more of a concern when he succeeds in taking Yarra Ranges Council with him and, albeit only on a casting vote from the mayor, risks perverting council policy.

If the current industry is sustainable, as Child claims, why has the Mountain Ash forest ecosystem of the Central Highlands been assessed as “critically endangered" on internationally recognised criteria (Emma Burns et al. 2014)?

If logging is sustainable, why has Victoria’s faunal emblem, Leadbeater’s Possum, a species dependent on these forests for its habitat, been uplisted to “critically endangered". And when the Threatened Species Scientific Committee advised the Commonwealth Environment Minister, Greg Hunt, to declare the uplisting (advice which the Minister described as “clear and unequivocal"), why did the TSSC state that the most effective solution was “to cease timber harvesting within montane ash forests of the Central Highlands“?

Why does Professor Lindenmayer of the Australian National University, the world’s leading authority on Leadbeater’s Possum, say that, “almost ALL of the ash needs to be conserved to have a reasonable probability of animal persistence"?

Cr Child verbals the State Government, saying it recognised the industry as sustainable. So why has Premier Dan Andrews committed substantial time and resources to establishing a Forest Industry Taskforce, to provide a clear road map to ensure a sustainable timber industry?

Even while supporting Cr Child with his casting vote, Cr Callanan clearly does not believe the current industry is sustainable. “They have to find ways to become sustainable," he said.

If Yarra Ranges Council is to maintain any vestige of credibility on this issue it needs to found its policies on fact, not on the mindless ideology and empty rhetoric of Cr Child.

Steve Meacher, President, Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum Inc, Healesville.

Big two snubbed HOW disappointing to read the article in the ‘Mail’ (Grocery War Lost, 19 July) and how the business was lost.

As much as possible, I stay away from the ‘big two’ supermarkets.

If Safeway is so concerned about locals, then it would bring back a lot more choices in the items, like Entwistle’s, and stop importing frozen vegetables from China and New Zealand, which used to be the back door to China.

Cath Seegers, East Warburton.

Gang's all here WELL done to the ‘Gang of Four’ (yes, you know who you are) from Yarra Ranges Shire that approved the Woolworths Supermarket at Seville.

IGA closed last Saturday after many years of providing adequate service to our town.

Next will probably be our independent fuel provider at Wandin.

Disgraceful abuse of power, and you supported another win for the big greedy corporates.

Hang your heads in shame.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend - it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away YOU havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put in a tax return for a year or two ... maybe even four or five!

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; person in Australia who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and, after all, the tax man is pretty busy.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably never even notice!

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want to think about the massive interest and penalties.

So, the best thing you can do is keep a low profile and put it off for another year!

Right?

Wrong!

Wrong, wrong ... and, according to Healesville tax accountant, Michelle Labahn - wrong again!

As the principal of Michelle Labahn and Associates in Healesville, Ms Labahn is a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA), and a member of the National Tax and Accountants Association (NTAA).

Ms Labahn has good news; and good advice for tax procrastinators.

First: You are not alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens to more people than you think,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Second: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late. Even with missing group certificates and other documents, it can be sorted â&#x20AC;&#x153;quickly, easily and painlesslyâ&#x20AC;?.

Third: Penalties, if any, are usually minimal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;High penalties and interest are a bit of a myth,â&#x20AC;? Ms Labahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They usually work out to be very minimal and, if the person is a wage and salary earner, often there is a refund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If paperwork is incomplete, you can apply for a copy of your group

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put off your tax return any longer. 157155 certificate from previous employers, or from Centrelink, or you can do a statutory declaration.â&#x20AC;?

For parents on certain Centrelink payments, however, it is critical that a tax return is done every year.

Ms Labahn said; â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as some-

one goes one year (without putting in a return), they are in trouble. If they are on a child payment from Centrelink, they will be asked to repay any money they have received.â&#x20AC;?

But most of all, catching up with your tax returns, before the Australian

Taxation Office catches up with you, brings enormous peace of mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people who are in that situation really worry about it,â&#x20AC;? Ms Labahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They think they are going to be in big trouble, but, really, it never works

out like that.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Of course, there is some reason to worry.

The tax man is busy ... but not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; busy.

Sooner, or later, the letter will come and, some people end up in court.

Fine drop from the horse’s mouth

By JESSE GRAHAM WINE lovers will get the chance to quiz Rochford’s top winemaker and learn more about award-winning wine, with the venue hosting its annual open weekend next month.

On Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August, Rochford Wines will host its annual open door weekend, with the cellar door opening for tastings from 9am-5pm.

Chief winemaker Marc Lunt will be on hand to answer questions about the different wines and

vineyards that make up the winery.

“In Europe, it’s tradition to open your cellar once or twice a year for customers to come in,” he said.

Mr Lunt said the weekend was a chance to showcase the 2015 Dans les Bois Pinot Noir, which was recently awarded a gold medal at the International Decanter World Wine Awards.

Though last year’s open weekend had activities for children, Mr Lunt said this year’s event was more focused on wine, and the stories behind it.

“What we normally do is open the cellar, people come in, they can do a traditional tasting where we just take them through, or you have people with more of an interest - they want to know how much oak was in, how much whole bunch and so forth,” he said.

Entry to the open weekend is $15 per person, and the winery will also be holding a Dans les Bois - In the Woods dinner on Saturday night for $150 per person, featuring eight wines matched with eight French dishes and entertainment.

For more information, call 5957 3333.

GHOSTBUSTERS is a fun, heartfelt action comedy that completely justifies its own existence, unlike many other remakes.

When theoretical physicist Erin (Kristen Wiig) reunites with estranged colleague Abby (Melissa McCarthy), they become the Ghostbusters, a team dedicated to catching and studying the paranormal.

Ghostbusters busts the widespread scepticism to deliver a spookily entertaining movie.

The cast has fantastic chemistry, with the stand-outs being Kate McKinnon as eccentric engineer Holtzmann and SNL regular Leslie Jones as Patty, the film’s sassy emotional core.

The film has solid character development: it’s gratifying to watch Erin regain confidence in her work and to restore her long-stalled friendship with Abby.

Ghostbusters is frequently very funny, with some amusing cameos and clever in-jokes about the film’s various controversies, and the action scenes are exciting, particularly the creative, energetic climax.

There is an enjoyably loose,

seat-of-the-pants flow to the plot of Ghostbusters, and there is a nifty parallel between the (female) characters needing to prove themselves in a society that frequently underestimates them with the film itself seeking to prove itself within the broader franchise - and succeeding.

The only major problems in Ghostbusters are the poorlyexplained nature of the ghosts and the villain being somewhat of an afterthought.

Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I think this film is just as good as the original 1984 Ghostbusters.

Shattered memory of boxing great on stage

By JESSE GRAHAM THE fractured mind of a retired boxer will be explored in Exit Theatre’s new production of Springer, a one-man play to be performed in Lilydale from 30 July.

Kristof Kaczmarek plays Springer, an old man and former championship boxer whose career spanned 380 matches 376 of which were won by the athlete, 350 of those by knockout.

But Springer’s extensive career and the resultant trauma has left him with a shattered memory, and the play is a monologue delivered by the boxer as he stands in the ring that he used to fight in.

“The story is not really about boxing, the story is about betrayal,” Mr Kaczmarek said.

“He (Springer) basically brags about how good he was but this is only a cover-up.

“He talks, ‘I was so good, I was this, and this, and this’, but, as the story unfolds, slowly, slowly, we’re discovering it was something else.”

The monologue jumps between different stories in Springer’s career and life - such as his monumental fights and his relationship with his coach - and as the pieces fall together, a dark twist to the story is revealed.

Mr Kaczmarek said the role

was challenging to learn, because the play did not follow cues from other actors or in the scenes, like those with a full cast do.

“It’s a very difficult role to learn, because it doesn’t have a structure - it’s not like you follow some action,” he said.

He said the play was written by Polish playwright, Stefan Mrowinski, during the heyday of Polish boxing in the 1960s.

“As a matter of fact, when he wrote this play he had some problems with some boxers, because they all thought it was about them,” Mr Kaczmarek said.

Get set for a sweeter soundscape TIME to warm up your voices again as the Massed People’s Choir and Orchestra is ready to roll this coming weekend at 3.30pm on Saturday, 30 July.

This year’s program theme is ‘The Fruit of the Spirit’ - love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness and faith.

Organisers say the program is now so well-established you no longer need to book.

Just come along; all are welcome.

Mr Brian Way, co-ordinator of the MPCO said: “This is the fourth time we have offered the opportunity for people to come and sing beautiful hymns in the setting of a massed choir and orchestra.”

“On each of the three previous occasions, the program has drawn a large attendance,” he said.

“People have come from all over Victoria and interstate.

“It has been a fantastic experience and really appreciated by the public.

“As always, participation and attendance is free.

“However, we do give those who attend an opportunity to give a donation to assist the community support

programs that are offered through the Redwood Community Centre in Warburton.“ The large orchestra will be capably led by Nyarne Darko, who hopes the event will also attract many young people to participate in playing and singing hymns.

If you would like to make a whole day of it, an invitation is extended to attend the 11am church service as well.

And if you are attending both the morning and afternoon programs, members of Warburton Church extend an invitation to join them for lunch.

Once again, proceeds from the event will benefit the community.

The Redwood Community Centre in Warburton is jointly sponsored by the Warburton Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA Australia).

Programs there are created to assist people of all ages who need encouragement and support from time to time.

These programs in include: * Friday Soup Night; * Homelessness support; * A youth drop-in program; * Redwood Kids resilience program;

Guests can join in and sing hymns in the setting of a massed choir and orchestra. 157151 * Low-cost fitness classes; * Free cooking classes; * Health education programs; * Art classes; * Food parcels; * Second Bite free fruit and vegetable distribution;

* Agency referrals and advice; * The Lounge Room; * Youth mentoring; * Free meals; * Women’s Support Group; * Employment services;

* Holiday activities for school children; So come along and SING, and by making a donation as you leave, you can help to ensure that the Redwood Community Centre programs continue for the coming year.

Our gardens lift the spirits

By KATH GANNAWAY WINTER is a great time for Scrabble and DVDs, but enough is enough ... sometimes you just have to break out, recharge your batteries and go visit a garden ... or two.

From the Dandenong Ranges through to the Yarra Valley and up to Marysville, there are some truly beautiful winter gardens to lift the spirits.

Apart from the winter flowers that abound in a number of gardens, it’s a great time to appreciate the sculptural beauty of the tree trunks and branches left bare of their leaves, and the ferns and mosses that are at their most vibrant at this time of year.

Here are some suggestions for public and private gardens.

Among the Dandenong Ranges is the George Tindale Memorial Gardens in Sherbrooke. The gardens offer something new each season but the flowering Hellebores are especially beautiful.

The Alfred Nicholas Gardens, also in Sherbrooke, and Pirianda Gardens and the National Rhododendron Gardens in Olinda feature wonderful fern gullies and, with sealed pathways, are suitable for all ages.

Keeping to the Dandenongs, The Ferny Creek Horitcultural Society will hold their Spring Show on September 3 and 4 at 100 Hilton Road, Sassafras featuring daffodils, camellias and early spring bulbs and perennials.

For more traditional sculpture, you might like to do a round trip and visit two amazing sculpture gardens - William Ricketts Sanctuary on Mount Dandenong and Bruno’s Sculpture Garden in Marysville.

Each of these gardens feature stunning sculptures in amazing garden settings.

In Yarra Glen, Alowyn Gardens is open again after a short winter break.

A private garden set on four acres, it is a showcase garden featuring small spaces and large expanses, all with interesting elements to them. It’s a wonderful garden for a winter escape with a cafe and nursery, among its many attractions.

So ... hibernation over; time to rug up, grab the umbrella ... perhaps pack a thermos of soup, and rediscover the beauty of the region’s gardens.

All about your colour scheme Q: HOW do I start the process of choosing my colour scheme?

A: For exteriors, some people like to be inspired by their surrounds; i.e. forest, beach, arty architectural city ... and select colours that are found there.

Those colours can be downplayed or enhanced depending on personal taste. Interiors can be inspired by a favourite artwork or piece of furniture, or often a picture from a magazine that makes them feel happy and we can build on that and customise the look to suit.

Q: I don’t want colour in every room. Are there some colours I can use as a ‘base’?

A: Yes! From soft whites to dusty French blues, and pale driftwoods and olives, there are many ‘neutral’ tones available.

Q: How do I actually prepare surfaces to begin painting?

A: On unpainted or bare surfaces, and places where a lot of repair has been needed, a light sand, wash with sugar soap and a good rinse before using an undercoat. Some pre-painted areas may only need a good wash and a light sand before painting. Ask questions! Your local paint shop will always be happy to help you and guide you through these steps.

Q: I like feature walls but how do I choose where they should be?

A: A general guide is to choose a wall that you often look at but find boring. A feature doesn’t always have to be a dark-colour paint; sometimes a soft white wall in a room of colour is a great feature to hang that favourite picture on. Wallpapers are also a fabulous feature; they can really ‘set a theme’ that can be followed throughout the home. A lot of modern wallpapers don’t even need to be wet to apply, and they can strip right off with no trouble when you wish to change the decor.

Q: What are the most important ‘Do’s and Don’ts’ when I am painting?

A: The most important point is ... don’t rush! Take your time and you will only have to do it once. Another tip is to buy the best quality paint you can; often the ‘cheap’ paints take twice as much time and product for a less than satisfactory finish.

With brushes and paint rollers, be guided to the correct tool by your experienced paint shop people and make sure it feels comfortable for you to use.

Remember to ask questions.

As you move through your home, you will gain more confidence and when you’re done, you will have a beautiful home that you can be proud of, knowing you did it!

Winter habitat for native insects DO you like insects?

They make some people uncomfortable, but I think they’re incredible.

Did you know that insects pollinate over 70 per cent of the world’s commercial edible crops and perform multiple roles to produce healthy soil types?

Did you know that without the nutritious food that insects help prepare for us, we would struggle to survive?

In turn, we can do more to help our native insect friends.

Their habitats are being increasingly destroyed in our post-industrial world, and native insects are often victims of invasive species or pesticides that are not meant for them.

One way we can look after our Yarra Ranges’ insects this winter is by providing habitats for them in our own backyards.

Ecologist Michael Smith A habitat needs the right mix of food, shelter and ‘landscape complexity’.

If you want to attract native bees and butterflies, introduce lots of indigenous flowering plants on the northern side of your property.

Aussie bees use their tongues, while butterflies have proboscises to suck food from native plants.

Take a look at the beautiful hop goodenia and flowering bluebells in Wesburn Reserve or the flowering

lobelia, heath and correa plants in Chum Creek to get some ideas as to what plants to introduce into your garden.

To attract as many species as possible, your habitat should also have landscape complexity – plant a diverse range of trees and plants with different heights and forms in clusters.

Insects have unique behaviors and each species will use the same space differently.

For example, resin bees like living in wooden holes, beetles enjoy hanging out among grasses, and honey bees will take nectar from tall trees.

Insects feel more protected in a complex habitat and the different plant species give them more options for food and shelter.

If you like, you can go one step

further and make ‘insect motels’ for your backyard, because this will help your insect friends protect themselves from the elements and hide from predators.

Here are some local plants that, when planted together and flourishing in winter, will give you a good mix of food, shelter and landscape complexity: Grasses: microlaena and indigenous poa species; Smaller plants: oxalis, bluebells and Brachyscome multifida; Medium plants: bearded heath, hop goodenia, hedge wattle, pomaderris and correa reflexa; Trees: golden wattle and lightwood wattle.

Best friend or worst enemy at the grates?

IS YOUR wood fire an indulgence or a life-threatening danger?

On a cold winter night it’s nice to settle down in front of a wood fire. But if that wood fire isn’t being properly maintained, it could turn into a big risk.

CFA Operations Manager Stewart Kreltszheim said: “All too often CFA members attend house fires which are caused by chimney fires or burning logs rolling out of the fire and starting a fire on carpets. Either source can often result in severe damage to, or loss of the house. The sad fact is that many of these fires are easily preventable.”

Mr Kreltszheim went on to say that chimney fires were caused by the accumulation of creosote and other products of incomplete combustion in the chimney. Over a period of months these products build up in the chimney as a coating and when subjected to strong heat from the fire ignite in the chimney with a real potential to start a fire in the roof.

There is a danger that these fires, burning in the roof space above smoke alarms, or in wall cavities, can go undetected until they are substantial, lifethreatening fires.

He said minimising the risk of

chimney fires was simple. Before you intend to start using the fire, clean the chimney and inspect the fireplace or firebox. You should also ensure that there are no flammable materials stored near the fireplace.

You may also do an additional cleaning in mid-winter to be extra sure that you won’t have to face a chimney fire.

You may be able to do this yourself if you can safely work on the roof and have a suitable chimney brush. If not there are professional chimney cleaners who can clean your chimney and check their integrity.

It’s also worth checking the roof space to make sure that there is nothing flammable close to the chimney.

Mr Kreltszheim added that chimney fires weren’t limited to houses. They could occur in commercial premises, including hotels and guesthouses. Indeed any premises with wood fires had the potential for chimney fires.

Protecting your house from a fire caused by burning logs rolling out is surprisingly easy. Having a fire guard in front of a fire keeps burning logs in and stops children from falling into the fire. Removing carpets and rugs from in front of the fire also helps.

Mr Kreltszheim concluded by asking some important questions. When you go to bed tonight are you sure that your wood fire won’t lead to a chimney fire? Have you taken care to make sure that your chimney has been cleaned to minimise the risk of fire? Have you taken a minute to smell for smoke or the smell of very hot metal? Do you have working smoke alarms?

Chimney fires are avoidable. Regularly cleaned and serviced chimneys and working smoke alarms could save your family’s lives.

Lake Eildon National Park, Rubicon State forest, Cathedral Range State Park, Marysville State forest, Yarra Ranges National Park and Toolangi State forest The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Parks Victoria are committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks, reserves and state forests across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning is laying buried baits containing sodium luroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baiting commenced Monday, 18 January 2016 and will continue until Friday, 16 December 2016.

Baits have been laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the above mentioned forests and parks, and within the vicinity of townships Eildon, Rubicon, Taggerty, Buxton, Marysville, Narbethong, Healesville, Warburton and Toolangi.

1080 poison signs have been posted throughout the baited areas and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named areas are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.

Further details may be obtained by contacting Emily Steer at the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning at Alexandra on (03) 5772 0200. www.delwp.vic.gov.au Customer Service Centre 136 186 1234975-CB29-16 ZO680553

Final five shaping up

By CAMERON HUTCHISON COLD conditions for some, sunshine for others and even hail had footballers unsure whether they needed long stops, long sleeves or sunscreen.

The final five for Division 1 has opened up slightly.

Wandin had a surprisingly big win over Healesville; Olinda completely outclassed Mount Evelyn, Warburton lost in the final minutes against Upwey, while Monbulk keep their final chances alive.

The final five for Division 2 is another story.

With only four rounds to go, it is anyone’s guess what the five will look like.

Yarra Glen, Kinglake, Gembrook and Alexandra share top spot, with Seville and Yea eight points behind them.

Yarra Glen have a tough ride home, having to play Seville and Gembrook which both had wins earlier in the season.

Division 1 Seniors Monbulk 23.13 (151) d Belgrave 8.8 (56) Monbulk got off to a great start, kicking 6.4 to 1.3, and had probably a match-winning lead at the first break.

They extended their lead at half time to 38 points.

Michael Langworthy was proving to be hard to match up on in the forward line.

A five goal-to-two third quarter by Monbulk saw them increase their lead.

The hosts continued to dominate the match, piling on eight goals to come home with an impressive 95-point win that keeps their finals hopes alive.

Monbulk Best: S. Williams (3 goals), C. Sharpe (3 goals), M. Langworthy (6 goals), D. Werts, P. Barge (2 goals), D. White Belgrave Best: M. Brown (1 goal), N. Somervaille, M. Puts, D. Bilston, P. Johnson (4 goals), T. Stubley Woori Yallock 18.16 (124) d Emerald 5.7 (37) It has been a long season for Emerald and they will be looking forward to season’s end, so they can regroup.

They started off well, holding Woori Yallock to three goals in the first, but eight scoring shots to three in Woori Yallock’s favour meant that the ball was in their forward 50 too many times.

Woori kicked six goals in the second and kept Emerald goalless to take a 53-point lead into the main break.

Emerald were never going to chase down this lead as the hosts kicked another nine goals in the second half to secure an impressive 87-point victory.

Woori Yallock Best: M. Lowe (1 goal), J. Coombs, M. Baxter (4 goals), D. Benson, J. Adams, R. Monkhorst Emerald Best: M. Steer, M. Thomas, L. McKenna, L. Sheppard (1 goal), D. Reilly, C. Thomsen Wandin 12.15 (87) d Healesville 5.7 (37) This game was set to be the match of the round and honours for top spot on the ladder.

Healesville held a small lead at quarter time of six points, but it was all Wandin after that.

A five goal-to-two behinds second quarter by Wandin saw the visitors with a 25-point lead heading into the main break.

Healesville, playing in pink for the club's Breast Cancer Awareness round, punch through for a point against Wandin. 157193

Matt Fraraccio was joined by young cousins Louis and Felix Giffard as he ran onto the ground for his 150th game with Healesville on Saturday.

157193 Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY Healesville could not find the big sticks and the entry into their forward 50 was stopped at every opportunity.

Wandin kicked another 6.10 to 3.3 in the second half to come away with a 50-point win that must now have them as flag favourites.

Wandin Best: R. Wilson (1 goal), D. Ladner, B. Foley, M. Polkinghorne (1 goal), B. Dickinson, R. Ross Healesville Best: N. Mende, J. Layton, M. Hay, P. MacFarlane (1 goal), M. Anson, J. Nugent Olinda Ferny Creek 17.13 (115) d Mount Evelyn 2.4 (16) Can you believe this scoreline?

Olinda certainly deserve to be sitting equal second on the ladder, but have Mount Evelyn shut up shop for 2016?

Their form this year has been nothing like was promised after the early part of the season.

Olinda held them goalless until the second half but by then Olinda had a huge 73-point lead.

Olinda had eight contributors to goals on Saturday where Mount Evelyn only had one.

A 6.5 to 2.3 last half gave Olinda a huge percentage boosting win of 99 points.

Olinda Ferny Creek Best: K. Currie, P. Rosier (5 goals), L. Meadows, L. Hill, C. Beattie, N. Syme (2 goals) Mount Evelyn Best: D. Kift, B. Doyle, R. Cowan, A. Chalkley, A. Johnston, M. Brierley Upwey-Tecoma 12.11 (83) d Warburton Millgrove 11.10 (76) Warburton had the opportunity on Saturday to keep their finals hopes alive, but unfortunately they let that slip in the last few minutes of the game on Saturday.

Upwey took the early lead at quarter time by three points.

Warburton bounced back in the second and took a hard earned nine-point lead into half-time.

Then, 2.1 to 3.4 in the third had the ledger all square at three-quarter time and it was now down to who

wanted it most.

The gut runners were required this quarter, leaving nothing to be questioned.

Warburton got the jump and held the lead deep into the last and would have been thinking they had the four points.

Upwey lifted and got a push into their 50 and came away with a sevenpoint win at the final siren.

Upwey-Tecoma Best: T. Robinson (2 goals), S. Parkinson, J. Hackett (2 goals), L. O’Brien, B. Duncan, K. Grenda (1 goal) Warburton Millgrove Best: L. Barnard, P. Sharp, J. Iacono (1 goal), I, Andueza (1 goal), T. Marr, T. McKail Division 2 Seniors Alexandra 15.11 (101) d Yarra Glen 12.7 (79) Yarra Glen had the opportunity to put themselves a game clear with a win on Saturday but Alexandra had different ideas and have now put themselves equal top with three other clubs.

Alexandra got the jump on Yarra Glen in the first, kicking 4.4 to 2.3.

Both sides kicked 3.2 in the second so the lead was 14 points at half-time to Alexandra.

Alexandra continued their smart play and kicked 5.3 to 3.1 to increase their lead to 24 points at three-quarter time.

Yarra Glen attempted to get their running game, but Alexandra were far too strong, running out 22-point winners.

Alexandra Best: S. Heveren, C. Heaslip, S. Steiner, L. Heard (5 goals), C. Mullins (1 goal), N. Dundas Yarra Glen Best: B. Ashton (1 goal), L. Hoffmann, M. Gordon, J. Dargent, M. Ashton, B. Clark Powelltown 13.20 (98) d Seville 13.10(88) Powelltown have kept their finals hopes alive and having nothing to lose over the next four weeks.

A high scoring first quarter had Powelltown in the lead by eight points.

Powelltown continued peppering

the goals kicking 3.9 to 1.5 to extend their lead to 24 points at half-time.

Seville were able to get their running game going in the third, outscoring Powelltown by kicking 5.4 to 2.3 to reduce the lead to eight points at threequarter time.

However, Powelltown were able to hold on to run out 10-point winners.

Powelltown Best: K. Larsen. M. McLaughlin (5 goals), T. Hallmark, J. Moore (1 goal), J. Walker (1 goal), A. Ramzy (1 goal) Seville Best: G. Annowsky (1 goal), K. Mullett, A. Wind, G. Teunissen (1 goal), S. Wilson (4 goals), J. BourkeFinn Gembrook-Cockatoo 26.13.169 d Thornton Eildon 4.1.25 Gembrook-Cockatoo showed no mercy over Thornton Eildon on Saturday.

Gembrook kicked six goals-to-one in the first and never took their foot of the pedal all day.

A big 61-point lead at half time and it was all over for Thornton.

The final margin was 144-points and another win for Gembrook.

Gembrook Cockatoo Best: P. Gramc (5 goals), S. Nuutinen (5 goals), B. Fenton (1 goal), C. Vernal (1 goal), M. Maddison (1 goal), A. Shipp (4 goals) Thornton Eildon Best: C. Ruhl, D.

Unfortunately for Yarra Junction, their season may be over as they still have to play Seville, Gembrook and Kinglake in the next four weeks.

Yea took a slim lead of seven points into the second quarter and extended their lead to 11 points at half-time.

Yea turned it on in the third, kicking six straight to two behinds to come away with a very impressive 46-goal win.

Yea Best: A. Hobbs (5 goals), J. Flynn (3 goals), J. Ivill (4 goals), K. Giovannini, T. Butterworth, K. Spagnolo Yarra Junction Best: E. Wadsworth, D. Williams, B. Wragg, T. Wheeler (2 goals), T. Hancock (1 goal), J. Swinden Kinglake: Bye Under 18s Yarra Glen 16.10 (106) d Monbulk-Seville 2.1(13)

Motoring Cars are for the trees YARRA Valley Toyota is excited to announce they will be supporting Schools Tree Day at Ruskin Park Primary School in Croydon on Friday, 29 July.

Tree Day was co-founded by Planet Ark and Olivia Newton-John in 1996.

Since then, more than 3.5 million

Aussies have planted some 21 million trees and shrubs across the country.

General manager Robin Donohoe and his dedicated team from Yarra Valley Toyota are looking forward to taking part in this worthy cause.

“The opportunity to educate the next generation about the importance

of looking after our environment is very special to us and the fact we get to support our local community is an added bonus,” Mr Donohoe said.

As an added bonus, Australian Paralympic swimmer Sam Bramham will also be taking part in the day.

Bramham has done Australia proud,

competing in the 2004 and 2008 Summer Paralympics, bringing home two gold, two silver and one bronze medal.

Guests are welcome to come down and meet him at Ruskin Park Primary School where the event will take place.

There will be loads of great photo opportunities and ways to get involved.

Every year, about 3000 preschools, kindergartens, and primary and high schools across the country take part in Schools Tree Day. Yarra Valley Toyota is excited to join forces and help preserve the environment for future Australians.

Electrical and mechanical problems are major causes of car fires. 156969

Cars keep catching fire VICTORIA’S fire services have attended an average of two accidental vehicle fires per day day over the past two years, according to the RACV. Cars were involved in the vast majority of accidental vehicle fires, but the figures also include trucks and recreational vehicles, some of which were towing caravans or camper trailers.

Electrical and mechanical problems, which for the most part are preventable, were the major causes of the fires.

In CFA’s District 8, there were 137 such incidents, which takes in Dandenong, Frankston, Portsea, Pakenham, Wonthaggi and Phillip Island.

MFB Commander Andrew O’Connell said electrical and mechanical problems, such as fuel leaks, were among the most common causes of vehicle fires.

“Most of these fires are extremely preventable,” he said.

“There was one case that I remember where the car battery wasn’t strapped down properly and the battery shifted and shorted out, sparking a fire.

“I’ve also seen plenty of cars that were leaking petrol through perished fuel hoses.

“It’s so important that people get their cars serviced regularly and make sure that any issues are rectified as soon as possible.”

FOR the fifth straight year, Lorbek Luxury Cars has announced its sponsorship of the annual ‘Club Sandwich’ at Motorclassica.

Melbourne’s purveyor of prestigious, luxury and exotic cars will again support the daily displays of car and motorcycle enthusiast clubs at Motorclassica 2016.

Staged once again at the world-heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building, Motorclassica is Australasia’s premier event for classic, collectible, rare and historic cars and motorcycles.

And ‘Club Sandwich’ is the support act, where almost 40 car and motorcycle clubs gather annually to proudly display an array of historically interesting and now-rare models.

Every year, Lorbek adds

to the eclectic mix of cars on display in Club Sandwich by bringing along its own array of high-end performance models from the likes of Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari, Maserati and others.

Over its four years of backing for Club Sandwich, Lorbek has helped support the display of more than 1000 cars and 200 motorcycles from about 100 clubs.

Motorclassica Event Director, Paul Mathers, said Lorbek’s support had been vital to the ongoing success of Club Sandwich.

“They have helped our ability to offer such a great way for the country’s car and bike enthusiasts to interact with showgoers,” he said.

“Along with its support for the clubs and the enthusiastic

owners, Lorbek can always be relied upon to bring to Motorclassica a mouth-watering display of supercars that’s a show highlight.”

Lorbek Luxury Cars Managing Director Srecko Lorbek is an avid supporter of Motorclassica.

“It’s a great event ... from the Concours d’Elegance and the annual auction to ‘Club Sandwich’, we love being a part of Motorclassica and engaging with its enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience,” he said.

“Club Sandwich is a good fit for us because not only does it allow us to display the latest and greatest aspirational models that we have for sale at the time, but also the variety of vehicles shown by the clubs reflects the breadth of our own automotive interests.”
