Team good as gold The Emerald Secondary College Aerobics team has shown they’re made of the right stuff, with some incredible results at their first State Sport Aerobics Challenge. Competing against more than 300 young athletes from across Victoria, the girls dazzled the judges with their synchronicity, energy and smiles. Both the junior stage one division girls, and the senior team, took home gold medals for their efforts.

The school teams will now compete in term two for a place at nationals. From left, Cheyenne, Jesse, Chloe, Maddison, Phoebe, Tallara, Ebony and Jess. 166718 Picture: ROB CAREW

ney in two years’ time, but the death of a close friend’s mother had stirred a change in plans.

“Her passing was very quick, so I said that this needed to happen straight away,” he said.

“Through this walk, I want to keep the conversation going about this tragedy. A lot of the time, we don’t talk about these things enough and this is my way of helping out a friend.”

The 26-year-old has achieved some incredible walking feats before, but his latest venture is by far his most difficult.

Previously, his walking trips have included a 2005 effort from Avonsleigh to Rochester; and, last year, he

“Congratulations to Brett Pooles, who has now completed the first part of his incredible 1150km Man with a Trolley fund-raising journey,” the post read.

“As part of this challenge, Brett built a trolley - a fold-up pink kayak - that he has walked from Avonsleigh to Echuca.

“Brett was inspired to take on the challenge in loving memory of Cheryl Owens, the mother of a close friend who recently passed away from breast cancer.”

In February, Brett told the ‘Mail’ he had been planning to take the jour-

Brett told the ‘Mail’ he was still going strong and was on track to complete his ambitious goal.

“All is well, the body is just hanging in there (and) starting to get a little rundown, but I’ll make it,” he said.

“I reckon I should get there around lunchtime on Thursday (6 April).”

Many followers have been monitoring Brett’s progress, with the major milestone of the walk leg completed around 19 March.

Among those that have been supported by Brett are the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which posted their

Funding loss stings said across Victoria local government had missed out on $200 million in untied federal funding support for local roads and community services since the indexation freeze.

She said the loss of funding particularly hit rural areas where communities could least afford it.

“Councils with small populations and large geographic areas are far more vulnerable to any loss of revenue as they have limited alternative funding sources,” Cr Lalios said.

Mr Edwards said Yarra Ranges Council supported the MAV’s campaign and added that the grants were

By Kath Gannaway Yarra Ranges Council is backing a call by the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) for a return to indexation Federal Government Financial Assistance Grants in the May Federal Budget.

Freezing indexation on the grants in 2014 has meant that funding has not increased in line with Yarra Ranges Council’s growth, resulting in the council missing out on around $768,000, according to council’s director of Corporate Services, Troy Edwards.

MAV president, Cr Mary Lalios

an important part of Australia’s system of government.

“It ensures a wide range of services and infrastructure can be provided to our ratepayers, who also pay tax to the Federal Government,” he said.

“Freezing indexation on the grants in 2014 has meant that funding has not increased in line with Yarra Ranges Council’s growth.

“This would mean less funding would be available than if the grants continued to be indexed over the last three years.”

He said while no Yarra Ranges Council services were directly im-

pacted by the indexation freeze, council had missed out on about $768,000.

“Council supports the MAV’s statements,” Mr Edwards said.

“A larger pool of funding for the Local Government Sector through the Financial Assistance Grants would be beneficial for councils across the country, including Yarra Ranges, and the residents who reside in them.”

He said council had liaised with the Victorian Grants Commission and anticipated the indexation would be restored in the Federal Government Budget in May.

Search on for Rosie the dog A border collie dog has allegedly been taken from the underground car park at Emerald Woolworths on Sunday 2 March around 3.30pm.

Rosie, the black and white border collie, was tied to the tray of the family ute with a lead and it remains unclear whether the dog has managed to escape from its lead or was taken.

The owners went into Safeway for 10 minutes before returning to find the dog gone and the dog lead left on the tray.

Rosie is a much loved member of the family; the owners are desperate to find out any information about their beloved family dog.

With no security cameras in the Woolworths underground parking space, Emerald police are urging any witnesses or anyone with information to contact them at 5954 0200.

Tourism’s train of thought pulls into the station

By Garry Howe Regional tourism operators shared a train of thought in late March.

Members of the Dandenong Ranges Tourism Network, the Yarra Valley Toursim Network and Casey Cardinia Tourism came together on Tuesday 28 March for a networking dinner aboard tourist icon Puffing Billy, where collaboration was the key message.

Puffing Billy CEO John Robinson applauded the three groups for the joint initiative and emphasised that working together was the key to continued success.

“Tourism is about sharing with each other,” Mr Robinson said. “It’s about working together as a team, not as a sole operator. It’s all about experiences shared.”

Mr Robinson spoke of Puffing Billy’s growth - from 260,000 passengers in 2012 to 475,000 currently - and said the vast majority of that came from the international market.

He said the railway had developed an 18-month master plan to help capitalise on that growth.

“We know we provide a wonderful train ride through wonderful scenery and villages, but we want to improve our visitor experience,” he said.

One element of that development would be to make more of the dining experience and even look into accommodation options.

Guests were treated to a three course meal - entrée and main on the journey from Belgrave to the Packing Shed in Emerald and then dessert and coffee on the return trip.

They included Alva Hemming, marketing manager of Go Beyond Melbourne, a new touring alliance developed by Visit Victoria and four participating regions - Geelong and The Bellarine Peninsula, Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and Yarra Valley and The Dandenong Ranges.

Food on the Puffing Billy dining packages is now provided by Ken Billman from Elevation in Emerald - an

The black cat myth Animal

But why?

Honestly, we are not certain maybe it has something to do with the superstition factor.

This prompted me to break some of the myths around these majestic creatures.

In fact, I want to give you reasons why you should consider adopting a black cat!

On the topic of cats, I am saddened when high-needs cats are overlooked for adoption.

· · ·

Again, I pose the question, why.

In case you didn’t know, highneeds cats make great therapy pets.

If you have someone in your life that is confined and would benefit from a special companion to stimulate their senses, then a high-needs cat may be a perfect option.

For example, white cats are prone to deafness.

A deaf cat won’t be startled by noise or unexpected movement, and are very affectionate and attentive.

Why not consider adopting a feline friend today.

Cr Fiona McAllister is urging support for the Small Grants Program. 163243 Picture: Jesse Graham

Grants cash grab

By Peter Douglas Around $130,000 in small grants funding is still available for Yarra Ranges communities before the end of this financial year.

With the June 30 deadline edging closer, Yarra Ranges Council is encouraging local community groups to put pen to paper and start applications for the Small Grants Program.

To date, 86 grants have been approved through the scheme, with the total awarded amounting to $67,021.

Though this represents only a small portion of the pie, with council last year committing $200,000 annually towards the initiative, which aims to deliver small grants to community groups.

The grants aim to boost key areas such as social inclusion, community planning, youth initiatives, participation grants (sports), and in-kind grants for hall and facility use.

Cr Fiona McAllister said the Small Grants Program had been an enormous success.

“I love the incredible return we get on often small amounts of money,” she said.

“It’s helping many amazing events and programs; we’re hearing many moving stories about what difference a small amount makes.”

Cr McAllister urged the community to support the scheme.

Though she insisted that even if the commitment wasn’t met, it would still be a win for the community.

“If there is a substantial amount of money left, it might be a great opportunity for us to feed that into other larger or more formalised programs,” Cr McAllister said.

People come in all shapes, sizes, colour and ethnicity.

As do companion pets.

A shelter environment can be a difficult one for some animals, particularly dogs and cats.

When it comes to choosing a future pet, many people judge or react to what they see on the outside and not what’s on the inside of an animal; its true personality and nature.

Animal Aid is now in the middle of its annual kitten season; and like every other year before this, we find ourselves with an abundance of black cats.

People just seem to not want to give a black cat a go.

Statistically, black cats spend significantly more time in shelters than their colourful cousins.

Call for date change

House for sale

By Peter Douglas

By Peter Douglas

Yarra Ranges Council’s 2017 Citizen of the Year, Doseena Fergie, has called on council to consider changing the date of its Australia Day festivities.

Ms Fergie had been in Rome when the initial awards were announced, so she was invited to Yarra Ranges Council’s Tuesday 28 March meeting to formally accept her award.

While she said it was great to be recognised not just for her own feats, but for the wider Indigenous community, Ms Fergie said it took time before she accepted the award, due to her stance on Australia Day being held on 26 January.

Ms Fergie would like the present council to “think about very seriously” following Fremantle Council’s lead and changing festivities to another date.

In addressing council, Ms Fergie said the award represented much more than her own work with the Healesville Indigenous Community Service Association (HICSA).

“I just want to say a sincere thankyou for this award; I really don’t think you realise just how significant it is,” she said.

“To have this award go to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person is really significant.

“When Noel rang me up that night, I was reluctant to say yes ... because 26th of January is a day I consider to be invasion day, a day of survival for our people, not a day of celebration.

“But I thought about it ... and I thought of this, what you have done, you are making a people who are invisible, visible ... and I want to thank you.

“Thankyou from the bottom of my heart, not because I got the award, but because I see sincere staff working with us and I look around this table and I see sincere people.”

Yarra Ranges Council has resolved to sell the beloved former Japara Neighbourhood House building in Montrose.

At its Tuesday 28 March meeting, council agreed that despite it playing an enormous role in serving the community over many years, the building at 13 Leith Road was surplus to council’s needs.

The circa 1950s weatherboard building had served as home for Japara Neighbourhood House for around 30 years, before moving in 2015 to the purpose-built Japara Living and Learning Centre at Kilsyth.

Yarra Ranges Council had given public notice of its intention to sell the property and invited public submission, though no submissions were received.

Cr Len Cox acknowledged the building had a special place for many in the community, but agreed it was no longer needed.

Meanwhile, Cr Tim Heenan said the sale would represent the end of an era for many of those involved with Japara.

“I just want to pay respect to all the volunteers, which I was a part of in 1979, that cleaned up the house when the Shire of Lilydale took ownership,” Cr Heenan said.

“The community were really excited ... they thought all their Christmases had come at once.

“It was a fantastic community hub; I know we’ve moved on but I needed to thank those volunteers.”

Doseena Fergie, the 2017 Citizen of the Year. 143919 Ms Fergie said just years ago, an award such as this wouldn’t have been well accepted by the broader community.

“I know (this) because we live with racism and discrimination every day ... although it be covert,” she said.

“I don’t like being in the public as such, but if it allows our people to be visible ... so be it.

“We want to overcome those barriers that are not enabling us to close that gap sufficiently.”

In welcoming Ms Fergie to council, Mayor Noel Cliff described her as an

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

“active, respected elder who has nurtured many young and emerging Indigenous leaders”.

“Her role in establishing HICSA has had a considerable impact on the local and wider Yarra Ranges community,” he said.

“Doseena’s leadership has provided the Healesville Aboriginal community with a welcoming, cultural-affirming place that provides a central point of contact for community members, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

“She has transformed the way council works with the Indigenous community ... she has left a lasting legacy.”

Cr Cliff went on to ask Ms Fergie what more the present council could do to help her achieve her ambitions.

“I would love council to be the first council on this east coast to have Australia Day celebrations at another time,” she said.

“Because 26 January did happen and we can’t change that.

“For us, it’s suffering; it’s grieving ... every time, we cannot celebrate.

“And we want to celebrate Australia all together as well, but not on 26th of January; that’s what I’d like this council to think about very seriously.”

Big bucks at greatest shave At Belgrave Heights Christian School, an incredible nine students and six staff took part in the World’s Greatest Shave recently, raising almost $9000. The courageous participants shaved their head (and one beard) at an all-school assembly. In addition, the school held a ‘crazy hair day’, with donations also going to the cause. Amazingly, two of the female students, Annekah and Rachel, raised more than $1000 each, with all proceeds going to the Leukaemia Foundation.

Smoke alarm danger warning As the sun sets on daylight savings, MFB and CFA are warning the community that out-of-date smoke alarms could be a liability in an emergency.

All smoke alarms have a 10year lifespan and need to be replaced or they may not work when you need them most.

MFB Acting Chief Officer, Paul Stacchino, said while most people knew to change their smoke alarm batteries at the end of daylight

savings, many were unaware that smoke alarms themselves had an expiry date.

“In a fire, only a working smoke alarm can save your life,” he said.

“We believe that some Victorians have never replaced their smoke alarms and that is concerning.

“Smoke alarms are designed to wake you when a fire starts to provide you and your family with the

earliest possible warning to get out safely.”

CFA Chief Officer Steve Warrington said both CFA and MFB recommended installing hardwired 240-volt 10-year photoelectric smoke alarms with a long-life lithium battery in a tamper-proof chamber.

“A good reminder is doing it every year at the end of daylight savings,” he said.

I have a large collection of old photos, mostly dating from the 1960s.

I packed them away for safekeeping in 1975, just before I moved to Canada for work.

That time capsule was not re-opened until late 2016, when all these treasures were revealed.

It has been fun tracking down many former acquaintances to give them memories of their youth.

But one person has proved to be most elusive.

Her name is Barbara; and in the early 1960s, she lived in Bonnie Doon and attended Mansfield High School.

In 1964, she moved to Melbourne and worked for ICI at their Yarraville plant as a cost clerk.

In 1965, she represented the company in the Miss Australia quest.

In 1967, she married a co-worker, possibly a computer operator.

I am handicapped by the fact that I don’t know her married name.

I phoned one elderly lady in Armidale who remembered Barbara’s father.

She explained why there was no further contact between anyone in the family and Barbara’s father after he married in 1940.

He died in 1970.

When Barbara’s mother retired in 1975, she moved from the St Kilda Road area to a flat in Boronia Road.

She stayed there until her death in 1991.

That makes me think that Barbara must have been living in the Boronia or Ferntree Gully area, and the mother wanted to be near her only child.

If anyone can help with information about Barbara’s whereabouts, I would be most appreciative.

I can be contacted on peterri2@yahoo. com.

If Barbara sees this, she knows enough about me to find me on Facebook.

Rash of gravel It would be very easy to capture a photograph of the roadway strewn with gravel along Mt Dandenong Tourist Road.

I have no interest in any asphalting or concrete firm.

Each time there is heavy rain, and gravel driveways are washed away out onto the bitumen, my thoughts, and prayers, go out for those poor cyclists who will slide and suffer injury.

It is years since I have ridden a bike and sometimes I get a bit annoyed about all the cyclists on our roads.

However, they have their place on our roads and we must take care of them.

If ever I was to hit a cyclist with my car, being a human being with a conscience, it would take years to get over the trauma, never mind who was at fault.

With gravel on the bitumen, a cyclist may ride that bit further out to avoid the hazard and risk being clipped by a car or slide in the gravel, lose control and fall off, so either way it’s dangerous.

We have more than enough laws for this that and everything, but it is time that those with gravel driveways on our main roads took action to keep their gravel from being washed onto the bitumen.

Our road laws require us to clean up debris after an accident, so the same should go for property owners and a driveway wash away.

Time to take responsibility.

Street festa hits heights A healthy dose of fun and plenty of activities again proved to be a great way to attract the masses, with plenty of festival-goers hitting up the PAVE Festival’s Emerald FunFest 2017 on Sunday 2 April. There was plenty of colour and action, as the streets were lined with performers, stalls and fun rides. There were also plenty

of chances to tuck in to some yummy treats. The street festival kicked off a host of events, which will continue to run throughout April. For more details, visit www.pave.org.au. ‘Mail’ photographer GREG CARRICK was on-hand to capture all the action at the Emerald FunFest 2017.

Come into the garden

By Peter Douglas

A great motivation to head outdoors and stay active. 166676

Kids join hunt The Easter Junior Rangers Nature Treasure Hunt program is being run across numerous state parks soon, including Dandenong Ranges National Park, William Ricketts Sanctuary and Lysterfield Parks.

The Parks Victoria initiative is a great way for kids to get outdoors after their Easter indulgence during the school holidays.

Join a ranger at one of the many parks hosting the treasure hunts where kids and their families can discover amazing natural treasures, including interesting bugs, creatures and plants.

Families will be encouraged to explore on their own for at least 30 minutes, taking photographs of their natural treasures and bringing them back to the ranger for discussion.

Parks Victoria’s Education and Interpretation Co-ordinator, Roellen Gillmore, said the program was a great way to boost well-being.

“Our parks are full of natural treasures, from tiny colourful bugs and bright fungi, to a huge variety of birds, sea creatures and towering trees,” she said.

“We love seeing kids getting excited about the many natural wonders of the world, and the Nature Treasure Hunt is a perfect way to get them exploring and having fun outdoors.”

If you’re not able to get to a host park, you can still be part of the fun.

Download the activity from the Junior Ranger website and head out with your imagination and sense of adventure.

Find other activities running over the school holidays on the Junior Rangers website, including: Rock-pool Ramble, Wildlife Detective, Flora Explorer, Rainforest Discovery, Mini-beasts, Secrets of the Sanctuary and more.

The Nature Treasure Hunt is being run to coincide with Nature Play Week and Premier’s Active April; but, remember, this is a fun and easy activity to do with kids at any time of year.

Find out more, register your interest and download the Nature Treasure Hunt at www.juniorrangers.com.au.

Share your discoveries: Once you complete your nature treasure hunt, share your best find (or a collage of them all) by submitting a picture to www.juniorrangers.com.au/gallery or email junior.rangers@parks.vic.gov.au.

For the third year, the Upwey Fire Brigade is fortunate to be involved in another Open Gardens fund-raiser over the weekend of 8 and 9 April, with two amazing Upwey Gardens open to the public.

Elly and Leon Roos will open their fabulous property, Elleon Gardens - at 59 Ferguson Street, Upwey - as part of Open Gardens Victoria.

They have held 10 previous open garden events and continue to present amazing ideas and surprises each year.

The open garden will be held from 10am to 4.30pm.

Finished with a ‘personal touch’, the garden features stone walls and artfully hand-tiled staircase.

There are countless arrays of plants to view, along with numerous sections of garden.

The owners confess to being ‘collectors of odds and sods’, so there are pots spilling with succulents and recycled items.

Children will particularly love exploring this garden and discovering the quirky animal status and curiosities around every corner.

Devonshire teas will be available

at the open weekend.

There are many lovely spots for visitors to take their tea and sit and enjoy a view, or be enveloped by the garden.

Entry is $8, while children under 18 are free.

Meanwhile, Karen and Gary Scott will also open up their magic property at 66 Ferguson Street, Upwey.

Karen is famous for her Mandala artwork, her tours and teaching, and this amazing couple have put 33 years of love and serenity into their garden.

Upwey Fire Brigade has been nominated to receive the proceeds.

This is a major fund-raiser for the Upwey CFA and they are in the process of updating two vehicles, so funds are desperately needed.

Secretary of the Upwey Fire Brigade Auxiliary, Margaret Dumpleton, encouraged the community to support this event.

“We are excited to be associated once again with such a fabulous event and such wonderful people,” she said.

“This is a real feelgood event, which is very much needed in our world today.”

Just one of the many inspiring garden settings. 166388

defy gravity as you “white-knuckle” it and carve an impression on the rugged cliffs of the worldfamous circuit.

Also available are: guided circuit tours; Champions’ Bar and licensed cafe; gift shop at the visitor centre.

Dr Ray McHenry has helped many people overcome their issues with weight. 153563

ExcEllEncE in HEaltH & WEllbEing Is your body nutritionally balanced? Do you know if your environment is having an effect on your wellness?

Could toxins and pathogens be affecting you negatively? Now, for the irst time ever, you can ind out these answers and more and have your own personally optimized wellness plan generated all in less than 15 minutes!

How lap band surgery can help Sharing a patient’s story: “I had made multiple attempts at dietary programs during years of young children.

I had always battled with weight issues, but it was worse after having my three children.

I tried Gloria Marshall, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, which was a significant financial outlay with little longterm success.

At my heaviest weight, I was 110kg.

I joined a gym and lost 35kgs over two years.

That was back in 2005-’06.

Over the next five years, in spite of a personal trainer and going to the gym three times a week, with more financial outlay, I regained 5kg a year (25kg back on).

After consulting with Dr Ray McHenry, we made a joint decision to try the Orbera Intra Gastric Balloon.

Unfortunately, I was unable to have the balloon due to medical reasons.

I was actually relieved I couldn’t have it done, rather than disappointed.

After further consultation with Dr McHenry, we decided on the gastric band, which I had done in January 2011.

Initially, I had success with

weight loss and lost 25kgs.

I began to have increasing issues with intolerance, which caused me to slowly regain the weight.

Eighteen months after having the gastric band surgery, Dr McHenry removed my gastric band.

With no gastric band in place, I regained all the weight I had lost over the next 12 months despite following a careful healthy eating and exercise program.

After having a sleeve gastrectomy performed in June 2014, I have lost 35kg.

I am healthy, happy and I have great quality of life.

It has been quite a journey but the team at LAPSurgery Australia has supported me all the way to success.

Thank you!

Is surgery really the best treatment for Type II diabetes?

The surgery performed for Type II diabetes is fairly much the surgery we’ve always performed for morbid obesity.

However, there is now international consensus that when we are operating primarily for control of Type II diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, professionals should use the term metabolic surgery.

This is to indicate that they are operating not just for the obesity issue, but for the metabolic consequences of obesity, principally conditions such as Type II diabetes, and infertility patients who have polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Evidence in multiple studies tend to show that adjustable gastric banding has the least effect on Type II diabetes (although still very effective), followed by laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic Roux-enY gastric bypass, clearly giving the best outcomes.

Adjustable gastric banding achieves its results entirely by weight loss whereas the sleeve gastrectomy, and to greater extent the gastric bypass, have weight independent effects. The consensus is that the superior results of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy over adjustable gastric banding are related to changes in gut hormones.

Clearly, the evidence supports the fact that there are tens of thousands of Australians who could benefit from metabolic surgery for their Type II diabetes or polycystic ovarian syndrome.

LAPSurgery Australia is located at 2 Langwith Avenue, Boronia.

Taste from Korea to the hills

By Jodie Symonds If you would like to take your tastebuds on a tantalising journey, then you’re in for a treat.

The first Korean Music and Food Festival to be held in Kallista will be on Saturday 8 April from 12pm noon to 4pm at the Kallista Uniting Church.

It will feature Korean food prepared by Korean church members, many of whom are the chefs of the prominent Korean restaurants in town.

There will be plenty of entertainment by Korean musicians for Korean Hillsong and traditional, classic music.

Aside from the spectacular array of Korean music and entertainment, the food will be both Korean and fusion styles, to take you on an adventure you won’t forget.

To expand your palate and explore a culture you may not be familiar with, visit the Korean Music and Food Festival.

There’s good news for Dandenong Ranges residents and those who attend local organisations also, as entry is free.

Kallista Uniting Church is located on the corner of Monbulk and Emberson Roads, Kallista.

The Dandenong Ranges will be buzzing with Korean food and entertainment that you won’t want to miss.

Alien film is gore-ful Life (MA15+) Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson and Ryan Reynolds

By Seth Hynes Life is a taut, polished sci-fi horror film that rises above its B-movie forerunners.

When a predatory alien organism, nicknamed 'Calvin’, is awoken from Martian soil samples on the International Space Station, the crew must prevent this deadly organism from reaching Earth.

The film spends a few welcome moments building wonder and fascination around Calvin

before unfurling the tense carnage. From very early on, Life maintains a nail-biting level of suspense, derived both from the fearsome, unpredictable monster hunting the crew and from the characters themselves.

The characters are simple but engaging, brought to life with poignant, nuanced performances in a very emotionally authentic film. Despite the exotic scenario of a hungry alien hunting astronauts in highEarth orbit, the characters have intriguing personalities, display very relatable fear and resolve, and make rational mistakes in their fight against Calvin.

It may sound weird to call something a 'rational mistake’, but every complication in the narrative makes logical sense as another way to ramp up the dire, frantic tone.

Calvin’s design evokes various terrestrial animals, such as stingrays and arthropods, while still being strikingly alien, and the film has some ghastly death scenes.

A gruesome, riveting horror movie with surprisingly strong character writing, Life is more than a worthy opponent for Alien: Covenant, 2017’s other big extra-terrestrial movie, which comes out in May.

Fest is all for the young

By Jodie Symonds Lillydale Lake will be bursting with live music, food trucks, canoeing and zorb ball at the Lakeside Vibes youth festival on Thursday 6 April.

In conjunction with National Youth Week, Yarra Ranges Council engaged with students at Lilydale Heights College to come up with the idea for a free festival.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Noel Cliff said it was an exciting opportunity for young people to

enjoy with family members and friends.

“This is your chance to have a free learner driving lesson, participate in the silent disco or martial arts,” Cr Cliff said.

“We are very thankful to have received funding from the State Government to make this festival happen.”

Youth service providers including education and employment agencies will be showcasing opportunities for young people.

The event will run from 12pm midday to 4pm at Lillydale Lake.

In a vibrant riot of colour

By Jodie Symonds

12345006-LN14-17

The vibrant and atmospheric artwork of Belinda Volkmer will be on display at Miloko in Sassafras until Friday 28 April.

Called Celebration, the exhibition was inspired by the time Volkmer spent as a child in the Dandenong Ranges and on trips to the beach.

These experiences gave her the opportunity to collect treasures from nature and the time to observe.

The exhibition opened on Saturday 18 March, where Volkmer discussed her fascination for colour and texture.

She said at the opening that one of her earliest memories was running her hand along a weed and examining the varying greens and rusts in the seeds.

“I also loved luminous green Christmas beetles, moss, lichen, bark, leaves, feathers, shells, flowers, rocks and shimmering water,” Volkmer said.

Art for Volkmer is a way of nourishing posi-

tive connections with nature.

“I have been painting continuously for eight years now, and I know it will be a lifelong pursuit,” she said.

“My early paintings were semi-realistic, however in recent years I’ve shifted into a contemporary or abstract art style.

“This occurred spontaneously. In a word of such structure and control it’s great escapism to paint with freedom.”

Celebration features large dynamic canvases that would suit large spaces and add a sense of drama and colour to the environment.

Volkmer’s work is a blend of large, broad brush strokes and fine detailed touches that enhance the sense of depth and space.

“I prefer to use a large canvas that gives me scope to use generous amount of paint and move it around freely,” she said.

Miloko Gallery is located on 5/372 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Sassafras.

ATTENTION HOME-OWNERS My name is JAMES. Like you, I am a home-owner.

Recently I decided to sell.

Here’s what happened…

My local ‘Jenman APPROVED’ agent

sold my home for $500,000 MORE!! [than other agents quoted me.]]

Unbelievable but TRUE! Now, sure, not all agents are the sam me.

But wherever you are in Australia, I now believe the first question you should ask when selling your home is:

Is there a Jenman APPROVED agent in my area?

YES! In Boronia, your only Jenman APPROVED agent is:

Motoring Big win at Easternapolis Mount Evelyn's Daniel Barton (centre) celebrates his wellearned victory. 166769

Daniel Barton proved too slick around the track for his rivals. 166769 certainly wasn’t expecting,” a jubilant Barton said, who had earlier this season finished third in the Victorian Title.

“Sydney has some of the toughest late model competition in the country and to be able to race against them has helped my progression as a driver.”

Barton continued on by saying has

satisfying it is to reward car owner Justin Pearson with such a big win.

“I can’t thank Justin and his family enough for this opportunity to drive for them, as it’s a dream come true to be able to race in the pinnacle sedan class,” expressed the former Australian Street Stock Champion.

“We do everything as a team, so be able to enjoy success together makes all of the hard work we put in between race meetings, on the road and at the track all the more worthwhile.”

Also, on the same night, Barton’s son, Tyler, picked up the feature-race win in the junior sedans at Ballarat’s

Redline Raceway, which was cause for double celebration for the Barton family.

The following night, Daniel Barton contested the latest Victorian late model series round at Redline Raceway and came away with a second-place finish in the feature race.

This result consolidated his topthree spot in the current point standings.

Barton would like to thank the following 2016-'17 season sponsors for their valued support: Healesville Directional Drilling, Progressive Traffic Solutions, and Hayden Race Cars.

Special thanks go to Justin, Kellee and Cameron Pearson, and Phil Pottage.

With less than one dozen late model race meetings to his name, Mount Evelyn’s Daniel Barton registered an impressive win in the recent annual Easternapolis at Sydney’s Valvoline Raceway.

In what was his maiden late model feature-race win, Barton was able to come out on top at the completion of the 40-lap distance by virtue of being consistent and not being rattled by his more established rivals.

Barton had originally started the Easternapolis-deciding feature race from position five; however, due to the pole sitter failing to start the race, he was elevated to position three.

From the drop of the green, he managed to get away to a good start and move straight into third.

By lap 10, he had moved up to second behind leader and current Australian Champion Callum Harper.

As the race approached the halfway mark, Barton began to close in on Harper and took control of the lead on lap 20.

Once out in front, Barton was never headed as he maintained his consistency and claimed what was a massive upset victory on a track he has only visited on three previous occasions.

“The offer to race a late model only came at the beginning of the season; and to be able to celebrate a major win in my first season is something I’m thrilled about, but it’s something I

League support for Pride The fourth annual Pride Cup has been announced for Sunday 7 May at the Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve.

The 2017 Pride Cup will see Yarra Glen take on the Yea Tigers in a match that will showcase the football and netball league’s support for diversity and inclusion in sport.

The match will be played at the Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve and will include a range of football and netball games throughout the day as part of the AFL Yarra Ranges league.

The football ground will feature rainbow colours, the international symbol of gay pride, at the 50m line in a show of support for LGBTI inclusion that has been embraced by the teams, the local community and the AFL. Pride Cup celebrates diversity and inclusion in sport for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI).

Now in its fourth year, Pride Cup was the inspiration behind the AFL Pride Match in 2016 between the St Kilda Football Club and the Sydney Swans to start a national Pride Cup. Teams who participate in the Pride Cup receive diversity and inclusion training in the lead up to the event by

Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria with support from Yarra Ranges Council, AFL and Netball Victoria.

Pride Cup organiser Jason Ball says the Pride Cup continues to have an impact at the grassroots and the national level.

“The Pride Cup is continuing to grow and have a positive influence on Australian Rules football,” he said.

“We are heartened to see both the AFL at a national level but also other leagues around Victoria showing their interest in promoting and supporting diversity in the sport.

“The Pride Cup is not just a show of support for the LGBTI community, it is about educating our clubs, our coaches and our players about the diversity and sporting talent that exists in our community. It is about making sure that our local footy and netball clubs are open for all.”

The 2017 Pride Cup on 7 May will include a range of football and netball games ending with the senior football match at 2.10pm and the presentation of the Pride Cup at 4.30pm.

For more information, visit www. pridecup.org.au.

Last year's Pride Cup match was a well-fought affair between Yarra Glen and Yarra Junction. 166784

Top honour as David Lever wins the medal

By Chris Anderson YVCA On a night when the WarburtonMillgrove Cricket Club was lauded for the premiership success in the DJ Strachan Shield, David Lever added to the celebrations when he took out the THR Drummond Medal, the highest individual honour in the Yarra Valley Cricket Association, for the season’s best player in the top grade.

In a season that netted 454 runs and 49 wickets, Lever was rarely missed by the umpires and duly took the award on 19 votes, four votes clear of Woori Yallock star Simon Young, with Mount Evelyn’s Kane Jones and Healesville’s Mark Minney a further four votes back on 11 votes.

Lever is now a dual recipient of the award, after capturing the honour in 2011-12 when representing Yarra Junction.

With a remarkable season that ended in premiership glory for the Burras, they fittingly scooped the pool with individual honours.

Tim McKail’s memorable innings of 116 not out in the grand final saw him fittingly awarded the Harry Emerson Memorial Trophy for best on ground in the DJ Strachan Shield grand final.

His partnership with club stalwart Liam Barnard changed the course of the game and led their team to victory.

Captain Daniel Lever was rewarded for his efforts on, and off the field, when he was awarded the John Lane Memorial Trophy for the Yarra Valley’s best player in the VCCL Country Week Carnival.

His match-winning figures of 4/24 in the team’s victory against Hamilton ensured the Valley would remain in Division 2 for 2017-18.

This was all the more significant when taking into account the efforts that Lever and Ryan Smith have put into the representative cause.

Not surprisingly, four players from the premiership team (Ben, David and Daniel Lever, and Liam Barnard) featured in the YVCA ‘Team of the Year’ while their grand final opponents, Mount Evelyn, had three players in the squad; Kane Jones, Daniel and Gareth Fraser.

Rounding out the squad was Ryan Smith and Simon Young of Woori Yallock, Mark Minney of Healesville, Brendan Ricci of Yarra Glen and Cam Spaulding of Yarra Junction.

Standing alongside David Lever in the upper echelon of players the valley has to offer, Kane Jones took out the competition’s batting award with 491 runs at an average of 54.56, while Simon Young took out the competition’s bowling award with 39 wickets at an average of 11.33.

In the competition’s other premier grade, RA Finger Trophy, Woori Yallock stalwart Paul Broussard was rewarded for years of service to his club - on and off the field - taking out the VJ Haag Medal for the player of the season.

A dogged opener who rarely gives away his wicket, a season that netted 378 runs and nine wickets saw him take out the award.

Young gun Braden Tauber of Launching Place took out the grade’s batting honours with 384 runs at an average of 42.67, while the ever reliable Terry Ottrey of Yarra Junction took out the grade’s bowling award with remarkable figures of 20 wickets at 6.30 in three games.

Gruyere took out the the RA Finger Trophy in a nail-biting final against Coldstream, and their victory was due, in no small part, to the efforts of Rowan Prouse who bowled magnificently on day two, with figures of 5/42, to lead his team to a memorable victory which will somewhat erase the memories of letting last season’s decider slip to the hands of the Crocs.

Prouse was duly awarded the ER ‘Ossie’ Garner Medal for the best player in the RA Finger Trophy Final.

Prouse’s season makes for some remarkable reading: 60 wickets, fivewicket hauls on five occasions, 12 wickets in the finals, best figures of 7/58, premiership player; and to top it off, 280 runs with the bat.

It was a wonderful story in the junior ranks, as Launching Place’s brother and sister act of Max and Ellen Bradley took out the major awards for the YVCA juniors; the Keith Thompson Medal (Most Outstanding Junior Boys achievement) and the Di Day Medal (Most Outstanding Junior Boys achievement) respectively.

Born in Bowral, home town of Australia’s most celebrated cricketer Sir Donald Bradman, the pair produced seasons that their home town hero would be truly proud of.

Max scored 323 runs at an average of 161.0 in Launching Place’s Under 14s while he backed up that with stellar performances in the club’s first XI, including posting two half-centuries in RA Finger Trophy.

Max was also selected to captain the YVCA’s Under 14 squad during the VMCU representative carnival, while his leadership skills traversed to coaching the Launching Place Under 10s.

Max is truly a worthy recipient of this prestigious award considering his stature among cricketers older and more experienced, and his future looks bright.

Ellen, on the other hand, scored 120 runs in Launching Place’s Under 12s team which ranked her among the batters in the grade despite the fact she is still eligible for the grade for another two years.

Ellen also represented the YVCA Girls team in the VMCU carnival, and the Outer East Eagles Girls Under 14s team in the Cricket Victoria State Championships.

A remarkable achievement for a cricketer so young.

Girls’ cricket is on the rise across the valley, and Ellen is proof of the talent that is out there.

Footy Dreamtime kicks in

By Peter Douglas A Dreamtime match between Healesville and Woori Yallock will head a host of marquee games in the AFL Yarra Ranges league this season.

After discussions began midway through last season, the concept is set to become a reality and will highlight the many contributions of local Indigenous footballers.

The match will attempt to build upon the now traditional marquee match between Essendon and Richmond, which takes place during the Sir Doug Nicholls round of the AFL. Fittingly, the local match will also be held on the same week as its AFL counterpart, which will be late May, in Round 10 of the AFL. AFL Yarra Ranges Commercial and Regional Operations Manager, Cameron Hutchison, said the league was excited over its introduction.

“It’s something that was mentioned midway through last year with community Elders and has gained great support,” he said.

“The Dreamtime match will bring something special to the competition this season.”

Mr Hutchison said there were plenty of reasons to get excited for the upcoming season, with the senior teams

due to kick off on Saturday, 8 April.

“It’ll be a great year for Tigers, whether it’s Woori Yallock or Upwey-Tecoma, with both clubs set to play 1000 games this year,” he said.

“Some veterans matches will move under-lights on a Saturday night, away from Sunday games, which will keep them more involved with the senior teams.

“There have been upgrades to many facilities, including at Emerald (new pavilion) and Powelltown.”

Season 2017 will also feature a Worksafe Game of the Month, which, enticingly, will take place between the combatants of last year’s Division 1 grand final, Healesville and Olinda.

These events aim to shine a light on country football and regularly attract top guests speakers, such as AFL legends and netball icons.

Meanwhile, Mr Hutchison said he was really pleased with the ‘organic growth’ of women’s football in the region, with the Mount Evelyn and Yarra Junction clubs proving to be a great drawcard for the women’s game at grassroots level.

With many clubs enjoying strong recruitment drives and preseasons, Mr Hutchison said he expects many tight matches throughout the season. 

Healesville will attempt to go back-to-back after winning last year's grand final. 159815 Picture: GREG CARRICK
