Ebony Waterson from Mount Evelyn had to look no further for inspiration than a cute little cousin named Ollie when it came to a name for the larger-than-life owl at the Upper Yarra Museum.

Ollie the Owl just had a certain ring to it.

Ebony said her twoyear-old cousin, Ollie, is both cute and smart, so it seemed a natural fit.

It was a popular choice too with another nomination for ‘Ollie’ coming from Nina, a pre-schooler at All Saints Pre-School in Yarra Junction.

The competition to name the owl which was carved by chainsaw sculptor Robbie Bast, was part of the annual Crank Up festival at the museum in April.

Ollie now imparts his silent wisdom at the top of the access ramp at the museum, and with a plaque to go on the sculpture very soon, everyone will know his name.

An iconic Warburton building is descending into ruin at the hands of vandals, and on account of a lack of maintenance and the inability of government bodies to resolve its future.

The Cerini Centre was handed back to the Education Department in 2015 when the community-driven committee of management was no longer able to maintain it, and bids to have the building transferred to community ownership stalled.

Warburton resident Ivor Wolstencroft believes the centre has the potential to be a great community resource, but said with three interested parties involved in its ownership, it was complicated.

“I belong to the Warburton Makers Group - a group that would love to use such a site,” Mr Wolstencroft told the Mail last week.

He said there were other community groups who might be interested in using the building as well as the potential for the site to be used as professional rooms.

The centre is in Park Road, adjacent to Warburton Primary School, and Mr Wolstencroft said the road way into the centre was used by school children to access the school and by dog walkers and local residents at other times.

He said the building was now unsecured with recent vandalism highlighting the urgent need for action.

The lack of power to the building, the absence of a security alarm and the lack of regular maintenance all contribute to the deterioration of the building.

“It is sad to see such a building with strong local links decline,” Mr Wolstencroft said.

The only real outcome of the 2015 call for action was unanimous agreement that the issue was indeed ‘complicated’.

The Education Department, the Roman Catholic Trusts Corporation and Yarra Ranges Council all have an interest

in the land on which the centre sits, or abutting it.

The circular building has a unique history. It was built by Father Charles Cerini in 1952 to provide a Catholic school for Upper Yarra students.

It closed in 1992 when the new St Joseph’s school was built in Yarra Junction and was home to VCAL and Step Ahead programs run by Upper Yarra Community House for eight years leading up to its 2015 closure.

While the Mail has not received a response from the Education Department in relation to inquiries made last week as to the current situation, a spokesperson told the Mail in 2015 that significant works would be required to bring the building up to a reasonable standard.

He said that the cost of transferring the land on which the building stood would be substantial and that if it were no longer required for educational purposes, it must be sold.

Yarra Ranges Council said at the time that it owned only less than 25 per cent of the land but was unable to comment on its future or local historical significance.

The Catholic Archdiocese’s role revolves around an unsealed road that is registered as a public road and is owned by the local parish.

Manager for Property Services, Dermot Cannon, said last week that the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne remained committed to assisting in determining a resolution that provided a net community benefit.

“The building is only partly built on land owned by the Church, of which is a private road and hence our interest in that respect is more around regularising this matter,” Mr Cannon said.

“We have attempted in the past to rectify this situation with council, and also the Department of Education’s consideration to the excision of land surrounding the centre, and would be willing to participate in any future dialogue in this regard,” he said.

Future tale

Advertisement

By Derek Schlennstedt Healesville resident and freelance writer Peter Wood has taken his first foray into the world of published fiction after his book Attunga was published on 11 March 2017.

The tales of the Terran Diaspora portray events occurring in the 22nd century, 200 years in the future.

The book, ‘Attunga,’ Aboriginal for higher place, follows three protagonists, Wirrin, Thom and Calen and their adventures while living in a large great habitat floating in space near an asteroid belt.

But when Calen encounters a baby dolphin with special abilities, life on the great space habitat changes forever and he and his friends become involved in a conflict over domination of the solar system.

Peter takes his inspiration from Ray Kurzweil’s singularity, a non-fiction book that delves into artificial intelligence and the future of humanity.

Attunga, although being set in a futuristic world encompasses varying degrees of traditional Aboriginal names and values.

Peter said the book started as a short story but once he began writing it ended up being over 400 pages long.

“The tales originally started as a mind game about what the future might hold after reading singularity by Ray Kurzweil, who is a futurist.

“I started roughing out specifications for a self-contained space habitat with considerable living space and the technology needed to sustain it and then one night, from out of nowhere,

LONG-TERM FOSTER FAMILY NEEDED FOR FOUR SIBLINGS Anglicare Victoria worker, Tori Smith is looking for a foster family for four siblings aged between 7 to 14. She spoke to us about what a difference a loving family could make to their lives.

What are the children like needing care?

Ben*, Alisha*, Jane* and Jenna* are four siblings needing a long-term foster family who can provide them with a safe and nurturing home on a full-time basis. All the children are bright but require extra support on how to express their emotions and feelings appropriately. They respond well to structure and routine. Unfortunately, they have all experienced some tough times and can no longer live with their birth family.

What support is available for their chosen foster family?

The children’s foster family will receive a generous carers allowance, a fully maintained car, comprehensive training and 24 hour support. We also want to talk to potential carers about what they would specifically require in order to provide great care for the children, What would the children’s ideal foster family look like?

We ideally need a couple without children or a couple with adolescents over 16. People who can devote plenty of time to the children are needed, so it would be great if one of the carers didn’t work full-time. A carer with a background in health, education or community services would help, but isn’t essential – as we offer full training. Mostly, we need people who have a real heart for kids, empathy, and patience.

What would you say to people thinking about becoming foster carers?

In addition to working for Anglicare Victoria, I’m also a foster carer myself because I think it’s really worthwhile. You don’t need to be a super-hero but you do need to be committed, patient and ready to stretch your comfort-zone. Overall, it’s incredibly rewarding to watch children learn new skills, overcome obstacles and grow into amazing young people. * Names have been changed to protect the children’s privacy.

For more information: Ask for Tori Smith or Di Krygger – 9735 4188 or email fostercare.eastern@anglicarevic.org.au

Proud author and Healesville resident Peter Wood with his newly published book Attunga. 168203 Picture: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT came the idea of writing a short story to show what life on such a space city might be like,” said Mr Wood.

“And of course it went from being a short story to a big novel.”

The book took a year and half to write and Mr Wood has plans to write a prequel called ‘Mparntwe,’ which is set 100 years before ‘Attunga’.

You can buy the book at Peter's website https://diasporatales.net/purchase/

Learning about NDIS The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is the independent agency responsible for implementing the NDIS which will be introduced in the Eastern Region (including Yarra Ranges) from 1 November, 2017.

Residents living with permanent disability, their carers and family members are invited to learn more about the NDIS and how it will affect them at upcoming information sessions being held in the Yarra Ranges.

A community information session about the National Disability Insurance Scheme

(NDIS) will be held on Thursday, 8 June, from 10.30am-noon at The Memo in Healesville.

Following this an evening session will also be held at Box Hill Institute’s Lilydale Lakeside Campus’ LC Auditorium from 6.30-8pm.

Healesville residents, Gary and Anthea Forbes, whose son Adam lives with a disability, will be attending the meetings.

Under the NDIS, Anthea said Adam’s care would be more person-centred, and tailored to his specific ability and disability.

This, she said, would improve Adam’s quality of life and help him reach his full potential.

“He always needs a carer; he can never go on his own,” Anthea said.

“The NDIS is for people who are living with lifelong disability. It’s about giving them the best potential, best outcomes, the best they can achieve.

The NDIS is a new way of delivering services and support to people with permanent disability in Australia.

By July 2019, it is estimated that 105,000 Victorians will have transitioned to the scheme.

For more information and to RSVP to the information sessions, visit www.ndis.gov.au/ news/events/vic.

Deer hunting risk claim A Millgrove resident says shooters hunting deer on public land around Millgrove and Warburton are putting people at risk and acting illegally.

Thomas Osburg said last month shooters using silencers shot two deer on public land along the Yarra River reserve between Millgrove and Warburton.

Two weeks later, Mr Osburg said a group of six sambar deer being chased by two hunting dogs ran past him on his property.

He said the river reserve where the shooting took place was within 40 metres of a popular restaurant, and was

as an unprotected animal when they are on private property,� he explained.

He said the river reserve falls into the public land category where shooting was prohibited.

Changes to the permit process for shooting nuisance animals on private land were changed in 2013 when the State Government made it possible under the Wildlife Act for private landowners, or someone authorised by them, to shoot problem deer on their properties without first having to obtain a permit.

LSC Pagels said the issue for police was that they lost the compliance component with that legislative change.

Previously, landowners applied through DELWP and there was an

assessment done in conjunction with police in terms of the site, safety and other factors, which may or may not result in a permit being granted. “Under the new provision, we don’t have that ability to regulate shooters on private property,� LSC Pagels said.

He said a Senate Committee investigation had been carried out around five months ago looking at what could be done to minimise the impact on the private land owners from feral animals breeding in state forests or national parks coming on to private land.

Part of that was the impact on these residential areas and how they could be more adequately addressed,� he said.

Police and others are awaiting the

outcome of that investigation.

In the meantime, leading Sen Const Pagels said police relied on the public to notify them when they heard shots fired so they could determine whether it was lawful hunting or flouting the law. “We are very reliant on the public for that feedback.� “Most shooters engaged in the legal process are doing the right thing, but you get the rogue shooter, the lazy hunter, who brings discredit to others.�

Shooters are also advised to let police know before they set out.

Anyone who is concerned about shooting in their area should ring triple-zero to report to police.

By Kath Gannaway The deaths of two loved and respected Upper Yarra community members in recent weeks have saddened the business and broader communities.

Hundreds of people attended services at Heritage Funerals in Woori Yallock, on Friday for Carmel Fox, and on Monday for Ted Gramlich.

The sad news of well-known Warburton resident Carmel’s unexpected death while on holidays overseas came as a shock to her community, not the least in Powelltown where Carmel and husband Harold have operated the Powelltown Sawmill for many years.

Carmel had been a teacher at Upper Yarra Secondary College, and was treasurer for the Warburton Presbyterian Church.

Ted Gramlich, also well-known throughout the district, passed away on Thursday, 25 May, aged 72. Ted was a former Captain of Hoddles Creek CFA, and involved with many community groups including Beenak Cemetery Trust, Hoddles Creek Primary School and the Upper Yarra Draught Horse Festival. He was a respected businessman as proprietor for many years of District Hire and Sales in Woori Yallock.

The Mail expresses our condolences to the family and friends of Ted and Carmel.

By Kath Gannaway The push to improve roadside safety around Woori Yallock and Wesburn primary schools is continuing with Eildon MP Cindy McLeish speaking on the issue in parliament.

Woori Yallock and Wesburn primary schools have been campaigning to have electronic 40km/h speed signs installed since 2014 with no success.

Ms McLeish said she had been campaigning with the schools for over two years to improve safety, but said the State Government had refused to listen. “Both schools are on very busy roads with very heavy vehicles travelling past, they are subject to pretty ordinary weather conditions at times, and they do need to have these 40-kilometre-per-hour signs installed,� Ms McLeish said.

Speaking in the Victorian Parliament earlier this year, Ms McLeish called on the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to reuse signs from schools elsewhere in the state which have closed down. “I am aware that there are a number of electronic speed signs still in place outside schools that have closed. I am also aware that some of these have recently been removed, particularly in Springvale Road, Nunawading,� she said. “If there are signs that are not being used, these should be brought up to Woori Yallock and Wesburn as a priority.�

Ms McLeish said relocating signs was a cheaper way of meeting the needs of Upper Yarra schools with new signs costing $80,000.

Honeyeaters thrive - elusively

By Derek Schlennstedt

“Sure, I have a great bed, but where’s my rego tag?” asked Reg, the dog.

Register your pets

By Kath Gannaway Murrindindi Shire is calling on dog and cat owners to ensure their pets are registered, and pet owners in Yarra Ranges Shire who haven’t registered their pets can also heed the call.

Pet registrations were due on 28 April in Murrindindi, but there are still 695 animals that have not been re-registered - 497 dogs and 198 cats.

Murrindindi Shire CEO Margaret Abbey said the benefits of registering pets were clear, particularly if something happened and they went missing.

“Not only is it a legal requirement to register any dog or cat over the age of three months with council - if it does go missing or wander off, we can easily contact you and return it free of charge,” Ms Abbey said.

“However, if your pet isn’t registered, it makes it much more difficult for us to find you, and then not only do you have to collect it, but you may also be fined,” she added.

The three-month age requirement also

applies in Yarra Ranges Shire, where pet registration was also due in April.

It is mandatory for all dogs and cats that are being registered for the first time to be microchipped, a service provided by vets and many animal shelters.

Roaming pets that can’t be identified are collected by council rangers and if their owners can’t be located are sent to Coldstream Animal Aid to be re-homed.

Mr Abbey said Animal Aid did a great job re-homing animals, with a success rate of more than 90 per cent of dogs and around 75 per cent of kittens adopted.

“The ‘save’ rates for cats are statistically lower at around 60 per cent due to the volume of feral and unhealthy cats in the shire.

“Of course, we’d much prefer to see lost animals reunited with their owners rather than having to be re-homed or, much worse, put down,” Miss Abbey said.

For full details on animal registration, and to register online, visit www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au, or www.yarraranges.vic. gov.au.

While they may be difficult to spot, the helmeted honeyeater population is thriving.

In a report by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), 62 helmeted honeyeaters were bred in the wild during the 2016-’17 breeding season.

With a wild population of just under 200 birds, a boom is a relative concept.

However, this is the highest number of helmeted honeyeaters in the wild since the recovery program began in 1989.

Senior ornithologist at DELWP, Bruce Quin, is thrilled with the results, nonetheless.

“This is such fantastic news and is the second-highest number of fledglings we’ve had from a breeding season since the recovery program began 27 years ago,” Mr Quin said.

“The past three years have resulted in very successful breeding seasons and is in part due to the work that has gone into the revegetation of different sites within the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve.”

That revegetation is helped by the volunteer group, Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater, who produce 100,000 tonnes of plants for revegetation purposes every year.

This vegetation is vital to the helmeted honeyeater population, who use the foliage for roosting and nesting.

Bob Anderson, President of Hel-

Bruce Quin is tasked with banding and taking DNA samples, which can take around 20 minutes per helmeted honeyeater. meted Honeyeaters said such numbers wouldn’t exist without the revegetation program.

“It gets the birds moving into areas that have been revegetated in recent years which is extremely important,” he said.“They like eucalypts and tea tree foliage and require a dense upper and mid-storey for them to roost and nest in.”

Over the next few weeks, Mr Quin and volunteers from Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater will be recording of every new bird in the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve.

Each bird will be given a unique colour-band combination and its

DNA will be sampled by performing a blood prick test.

“This is a laborious task that takes hours of time waiting, while you battle mosquitoes and leeches, and wait for the helmeted honeyeaters to enter the feeding stations,” Mr Quin said.

“But, it’s a waiting game worth playing ... these records are used to monitor the size and genetic composition of the helmeted honeyeater population.

“We’re quite excited about the population rise but we also understand there is still a lot of work to be done.”

Showing way forward From my

desk Noel Cliff

Yarra Ranges mayor/Streeton Ward

Last month council released its draft budget to the community, along with documents that map our way forward for the next four years.

Residents can submit their feedback about the draft budget, council plan and long-term financial plan until 5pm on Thursday, 8 June.

This feedback will be taken on board as we prepare the documents for councillors’ final endorsement at the end of June.

I encourage all Yarra Ranges

residents and ratepayers to read through the budget and council plan and share their thoughts.

We provide more than 120 services across the Yarra Ranges and have along list of priorities and expenses, to which the budget allocates essential funding.

Council has allocated $8.6 million to aged and disability support services, $4.4 million to delivering world-class art exhibitions and performances at our six cultural facilities, $3.8 million to our libraries and $3.3 million to our maternal and child health program.

Our capital works program budget of $57.54 million (which includes $11.23 million in projects carried forward from last year) is our biggest to date.

Of that total, $1.5 million will

be allocated to the Belgrave MultiPurpose Health Hub construction, $306,000 for a new playground in Queens Park, Healesville and $4.4 million for the first stage of the $28 million Lilydale civic centre redevelopment, among numerous footpath, drainage and road improvement works.

Despite a large annual operational budget of $163.94 million to accompany the Capital Works program, council is well-placed to continue under the Victorian Government’s rate cap of two per cent.

We’re focusing on delivering high-quality services close to home and maintaining our infrastructure, while finding better and more innovative ways to carry out that work to keep costs down.

These documents were all formed

with the community in mind, off the back of our recently-developed vision and values statement.

We asked community members about what was important for them as part of our Big Picture consultation in 2016 and gathered almost 3000 responses.

These responses told us that you care about community connections, vibrant culture, accessible services and protecting the natural environment.

That collective voice of the Yarra Ranges has shaped our vision and values statement and our direction as a council.

Ground condition ‘a disgrace’ Last Sunday parents and spectators of the Yarra junction and Yarra Glen Junior Football clubs witnessed the poorest ground conditions in the ‘Super Shire’.

Who’s got the power?

I wish to make the following points about Kath Gannaway’s article ‘Tapping Water Power’ Mail, 23 May - (her words in quotes).

“The possibility of State Government grants”.

How nice to know that taxpayers’ funding will generate a return for the Bendigo Bank’s shareholders!

“We judge the (Warburton) community to be sympathetic to what you would call environmental issues”. This is sophistry. How can the developers know our attitude to the hydro proposal when we haven’t been consulted?

“UYCEL (is) about building community capacity for a sustainable community”. Meaningless words! There will be no direct benefit to the community. The power will be fed back into the grid and will form a minuscule proportion of the total power used by all Victorians.

“The golf club would benefit from the use of the power generated”. How, other than indirectly from the money generated from the feed-in tariff?

“The project would generate 800,000 kwh ... the total value of the power would be in excess of $200,000 per year”. Wrong! At the new feed-in tariff of 11.3c/kwh it would generate no more than $90,400. Furthermore, the tariff can change. Who’s to know that it won’t be reduced again?

The figures about the initial costs of the project, and of the amount of power it is supposed to feed back into the grid, have been changed several times. How rigorous is the business plan, really?

“Powershop’s retail offer to residents of the local area”. How is this going to work? Readers may like to look at the comments of some Powershop customers on their website: http://www. productreview.com.au/p/powershop.html.

It seems community consultation is required both for a State Government grant and for the planning application to council. Where is the evidence that any such consultation has been done?

The article suggested more questions than answers.

Issues halt plan progress

By Derek Schlennstedt Following discussion at the 23 May council meeting, the localised planning document will not be submitted to the State Planning Minister after controversy surrounding forestry amendments.

Councillors were divided over lastminute changes to the document that included suggestions around the transition to plantation forestry.

Introduced in 2014, at the request of the State Government, the localised planning statement is aimed at identifying and protecting areas of Victoria that have highly significant geographic and physical features.

The document is the combined work of the Yarra Ranges Council and the Community Reference Group and in 2016, a draft was exhibited to the

public and attracted a number of submissions.

These submissions were considered by the council on 23 May, and Councillor Mike Clarke, on behalf of some members of the reference group proposed amendments to the document.

Cr Clarke highlighted the need to ‘fine-tune the wording’ on certain points and although the scheme looks at planning around a number of areas including the urban growth boundary, it was forestry, and the wording surrounding “sustainable forestry,” that brought about passionate debate in the council chamber.

“The notion of sustainable forestry, while it can be read as dealing with native forests, indigenous forests and harvesting them in a sustainable manner - I feel, it is really important that we put the emphasis more on plantation

forestry and not try and have an opening where we encourage harvesting of natural forests,” said Cr Clarke. Which he noted was strongly supported in his ‘community’.

Councillor Child argued for no changes to be made to the document and said that the timber industry already had to work to strict regulations.

“We’ve got to look at what’s in front of us at the moment and what supports that sustainable industry - there’s no fewer than nine state government Acts which that industry has to work to, it is too tight in regards to regulation,” Cr Child said.

“All those Acts have to be abided by for that sustainable industry.”

Councillor Jim Child, Tony Stevenson and Fiona McAllister were among those concerned about the timing of the amendment which they felt had come

Councillor Mike Clarke suggested council adopt the localised planning statement with amendments that had been put forward by some members of the reference group. at the ‘11th hour’, but all councillors agreed it was an ‘excellent document’.

The motion to amend the document was lost however a following deferment put forward by Cr Heenen was

carried with Cr Avery, Clarke, Cliff, Cox and Heenan voting in favour of deferring the document to a later date which has not yet been confirmed.

Rick Houlihan a member of the reference group said there had not been any indication within the reference group that changes needed to be made to the document.

“The problem is that a few members of the group decided they wanted to change the document for the last time without telling the rest of the group,” Mr Houlihan said.

“It’s been a long process and we’ve ended up with a brilliant document that’s why we’re upset that some individuals want to change it, whether its improving or fine-tuning - the issue is re-open the document and altering it and revising the whole process it’s gone through.”

Men’s minds are the matter at Redwood Centre ‘Healthy Mates, Healthy Minds’. It’s the theme of a Men’s Health Week community breakfast to be held in Warburton on Wednesday, 14 June.

And, it’s another way of saying “your well-being is connected to mine”.

The event is organised by local men, including Peter McMeikin who says the breakfast is a great opportunity for men in the Upper Yarra to connect with their community during Men’s Health Week.

The breakfast will be held at the Redwood Centre,

3505 Warburton Highway, from 7.30am to 10.30am.

Michelle Fleming says accessible showers promote dignity and respect.

12353311-JV22-17

People who are homeless or at risk of homelessness now have access to a shower facility at Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health, thanks to a collaboration between six local organisations.

Eastern Health has joined with Eastern Community Legal Centre, Healesville Interchurch Community Care Inc (HICCI), Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA), Anchor and Salvation Army Eastcare to establish the service, which was introduced as part of the hospital’s recent redevelopment.

“Within Healesville, there is a small, but significant population who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or sleeping within cars.

The opportunity for these people and families to access shower facilities not only promotes dignity and respect, but also plays an important role in maintaining basic human rights within the community,” Michelle Fleming, Community Health Manager at Eastern Health said.

A community shower within the township of Healesville was previously available within the Salvation Army premises on Maroondah Hwy, until the building was transitioned to an office space.

Ms Fleming said several options were explored across the township to facilitate an open access shower.

“At the time of discussions Eastern Health offered to accommodate a community access shower within the redeveloped hospital as an initial step towards establishing this initiative within the community,” she said.

The shower is available between 8am to 5.30pm on weekdays and includes complimentary use of towels, soap and personal hygiene packs.

The shower is now available and located at 377 Maroondah Highway, Healesville. To access the shower, please call 1300 130 381 or visit the hospital’s main reception.

Take a bite of local produce

By Derek Schlennstedt Workshops run by Melba Support Services’ Able Bakehouse will teach residents and students how to make simple and healthy meals at home.

The ‘Paddock to Plate cafe’ workshop is a series of 12 monthly workshops, run by the Able Bakehouse in partnership with Mount Evelyn Primary School and community groups.

Aptly called paddock to plate, the program teaches participants how to prepare delicious food using seasonal local produce plucked from the Yarra Valley’s backyard.

The monthly workshops take place at the Mount Evelyn Community Hall and the Able Bakehouse has teamed up with local cafes whose chefs will demonstrate their signature dishes.

Kerry Kift, project manager for the program said it would not only teach residents how to eat healthy but also show them how affordable it could be.

“It’s all about engaging cooking workshops, and teaching people on how to make healthy meals,” she said.

“We’ll have a demonstration to show how to make it; it will be really hands-on cooking as a group with guidance from the chef.”

“It’s very inclusive and engaging and everybody sits to-

Melba Support Services manager of innovation and development, David Glazebrook promises participants will enjoy an engaging and interactive cooking workshop.

“Workshops will be delivered in a truly inclusive environment, providing social interaction for members of the community and people supported by Melba.”

“Participants will have greater skills and confidence to plan, shop and prepare healthy meals using fresh food, sourced locally and affordably,” he said.

The next workshop, held on 26 June, will be run by lo-

cal chef Maz, from the Lilydale Blue Turtle Cafe.

Participants to this workshop will learn how to create a hearty lentil soup, and delicious blueberry and white chocolate scones.

Jason from Bean Seen Cafe will run a 24 July workshop, and both events will run from 10am-1pm.

Entry to the workshops is $30 per person, with concession discounts available.

Kerry invites everyone to come along and learn how to make all sorts of scrumptious meals.

“It’s is real communitybased program and food brings people together,” she said.

Bob marks 95 candles

By Kath Gannaway When you’ve been around for 95 years ... you know stuff!

Healesville Historical Society Life Member Bob Pockett is the person who may well have the answer to queries about the life and times of Healesville and Toolangi.

Bob is still active in the society and is the author of several books including the history of the Healesville and Toolangi fire brigades and also the Toolangi Primary School.

Born at Nurse Townsend’s hospital in Ryrie Street, Healesville on 8 May, 1922, Bob worked at various jobs around Healesville and Toolangi.

Except for a few years’ break during WWII, Bob’s life has been centred around the Yarra Valley and its environs.

He worked for more than 28 years at the Toolangi Potato Research Farm, and was involved with Toolangi’s certified strawberry runner scheme, was a keen cricketer and has been a member of Toolangi CFA for more than six decades.

A favourable comparison to make when it comes to Bob’s longevity is a charming connection with the much-admired Pin Oaks at Healesville Racecourse.

Bob recalls helping propagate the trees he said were grown from seedlings on his grandfather’s farm.

While some of those Pin Oaks are showing their age a bit, most are still standing tall and bringing enormous pleasure to those lucky enough to come their way ... just like Bob. Bob’s 35-year associa-

Happy 95th Bob Pockett. tion with the Historical Society keeps him going, provides something to look forward to and keeps his mind active.

It’s a not-negotiable contract as far as his fellow society members are concerned.

With one of Bob’s highprofile roles being to identify people and places when old photographs are brought in, or providing information when someone wants to know about

‘stuff’, they certainly won’t hear any talk of retirement.

Many members and supporters of the society piled into the society’s rooms in Healesville on 12 May to help him celebrate with a beautiful cake made by member Angela Fleay, and of course a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’.

Any wonder Bob’s not going anywhere!

Hairdresser helpers

By Derek Schlennstedt

By Kath Gannaway For many women, their hairdresser is the person in their life who is at a safe enough distance to be a confidant.

That relationship may be taken lightly, even with a bit of humour, but according to the lead family violence service in Melbourne’s eastern region, it can be a valuable tool in the prevention of family violence.

Eastern Domestic Violence Service (EDVOS) has developed a program providing early intervention training for hairdressers to help women who may be facing violence or controlling behaviour at home.

“The HaiR program helps hairdressers to engage in conversations that challenge gender stereotypes.

They can share experiences and recognise the sometimes subtle signs of family violence,” said EDVOS executive director, Jenny Jackson.

“Women establish relationships and confide in their hairdresser,” she said.

“A caring hairdresser can maintain trust, while also helping their friend and client to a safer future.”

She said at EDVOS a statement they often hear from women is “If only someone had asked me about what was happening at home I would have told them”.

They also hear from hairdressers that sometimes they suspect family violence, sometimes women tell them about it, but they don’t know how they should respond.

“We’re very clear about the role; it’s not to be a family violence counsellor, or a family violence worker,” Ms Jackson said.

“They can be someone who can

Take a stand for gender equality

EDVOS executive director, Jenny Jackson and HaiR Program Manager Youna Kim. ask how things are at home if they suspect something, or if someone does disclose a situation to them.

“We provide training on how to respond, what to say and they can then just give women information about how to access specialist services.”

Last week Victoria’s Minister for Women and minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, Fiona Richardson, announced funding of $135,000 for EDVOS to deliver the program for one year.

“In the wake of the groundbreaking royal commission into family violence, Victoria has led the way in Australia by funding practi-

cal programs like this one, to support families,” Ms Jackson said.

She said they were collaborating with organisations involved in similar programs in Canada and the USA and local organisations including Box Hill TAFE, Yarra Ranges Council, Australian Hairdressing Council and Hair and Beauty Industry Association had expressed interest in the project.

“We have had interest from local and national providers about engaging and supporting the project and we hope it can spread state-wide and nationally.

Football and netball clubs in Melbourne’s east are being encouraged to take a stand to support gender equality.

A study by Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety indicated that intimate partner violence is the leading cause of illness, injury and death for Victorian women aged 18-44.

In response to these statistics, the ‘Be the Change Forum’ aims to inspire and create discussion surrounding what actions local sporting clubs can take to create equal and respectful environments for men and women.

The forum will see special guests Collingwood AFLW player, Emma Grant, and former AFL player, Luke Ablett, share personal stories and thoughts on what clubs can do for gender equality.

Almost every week one woman is killed by a current or previous male partner and Eastern Health executive director of clinical operations Matt Sharp promoted the need for ‘respectful relationships’.

He said it was important that individuals and sporting clubs understood the importance of creating gender equitable environments.

“Respectful relationships and gender equality between men, women, boys and girls is the key to preventing violence against women.

“No matter what our differences are - or our gender - it is important for each person to feel respected, valued, safe and appreciated in all of their relationships,” Mr Sharp said.

AFL Yarra Ranges Region General Manager Aaron Bailey encouraged members of local sporting clubs as well as the general community to attend the Be the Change Forum.

“It is important we have this conversation in an open and honest manner. Being treated equally and with dignity is something we believe is important for our communities throughout the Yarra Ranges. An event like this is a significant, positive step forward,” Mr Bailey said.

The forum will be held on Wednesday, 7 June at Karralyka Centre in Ringwood at 6.30pm. For more information about the event, email: aladdin. jones@easternhealth.org.au.

Bank on Bendigo’s support Bendigo Community Bank Branches support some amazing community not-for-profit groups and organisations around Yarra Ranges.

Typically this has been achieved as individual community bank branches located throughout the region.

The Nova 100 promotion is just one great example of what can be achieved when community bank branches work together with a shared community of interest.

“We now have a greater capability to supplement our commitment to community given that we have consolidated some of our resources as the Yarra Ranges Collaborative Marketing Group of Bendigo Bank,” Chair, David Green explained.

The collaborative marketing group is made up of representatives of the boards of 13 local branches.

“This collaboration means we can engage with and support organisations, as well as maximising promotional opportunities, across a much wider area than individual townships,” Mr Green said.

“We are very excited with this move to be able to supplement the existing support each of our community banks currently offers.

“I am very proud of the commitment, genuineness and dedication of the group to wider community projects,” Mr Green said.

“Seeing the community grow and improve is what really gives as all a buzz and we encourage community groups across the region to log on for the chance to win some extra cash for their group.”

Community bank representatives from across Yarra Ranges are encouraging community groups to have a go on Nova 100. 169143 Bendigo Bank’s regional community manager for Yarra Ranges, Gabriella Butler, is also excited about the Nova 100 promotion which highlights not only the contribution community banks have made in Yarra Ranges over the past 18 years, but the quality bank-

ing products and services they provide.

Ms Butler said in addition to the fantastic opportunity for community groups to register for the cash giveaway in the initial phase of the promotion, the extended nine-week campaign

aimed to get the message out that community banks were very much about what they provided as a bank.

“We are very much a bank, and we’re a bank offering a full suite of products and services, as all banks do,” Ms Butler said.

Call in and talk to your local branch manager at: Belgrave, Cockatoo/Gembrook, Ferntree Gully, Healesville, Monbulk, Montrose, Mooroolbark, Mt Evelyn, Rowville, Upwey, Wandin/ Seville, Warburton, Woori Yallock, and Yarra Junction.

Just go wild

By Derek Schlennstedt OVER the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, Healesville Sanctuary will be teaming up with Yarra Valley icons to bring you a gourmet experience with a wild difference.

The sanctuary will be holding its annual wine and wildlife event that runs from 10-12 June and will let visitors enjoy a glass of wine against the stunning backdrops of the sanctuary’s bushland setting.

While you sip on craft brews or delectable wines, keepers will roam around the grounds and introduce visitors to a wonderful array of scaly, feathered, and furry friends.

Each day from 11am to 4pm, five event spaces including undercover pavilions and grassy picnic lawns will showcase a line-up of Yarra Valley Wineries and craft breweries along with hearty winter food for visitors to sample and buy.

In their first debut at Wine and Wildlife, Four Pillars Gin will feature a pop-up bar on the scenic Tasmanian Devil boardwalk on Saturday only.

That Saturday also happens to coincide with World Gin Day, so there’s no better time to celebrate with a taster from the local Healesville gin producer.

All Wine and Wildlife proceeds directly support Zoos Victoria’s efforts to fight the extinction of 21 local threatened species.

Tastings are included with general admission and Zoos Victoria members and children under 16 receive free entry all weekend.

Visitors are invited to throw on their gumboots and a warm coat for a weekend full of wine and foodie fun!

Our newspapers are giving away 10 family passes (value $82.30 each) to Wine and Wildlife.

From left, Pam Vroland, Margot McNamara, Barbara Garnett, Donna Legg and Pat Lewis Picture: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT will present around 50 art pieces. 169049

The first-time exhibitors

By Derek Schlennstedt Love your locals this Queen's Birthday weekend, with Healesville's Four Pillars Gin debuting in their their first Wine and Wildlife and offering free tastings on the scenic Tasmanian Devil boardwalk. 169148 Picture: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT To be in the draw to win tickets email your name, address and contact number to wintickets@starnewsgroup.com.au.

Be quick. Entries close at noon on Thursday 8 June. Winners will be notified.

Save time and pre-purchase general admission tickets online at www.zoo.org.au/healesville/ plan-yourvisit.

After enjoying the company of Australian wildlife, Four Pillars Gin will also be celebrating World Gin Day over the weekend and will be launching their hugely popular Bloody Shiraz Gin.

An exhibition held at Mont De Lancey’s Ray Oliver Gallery will see a group of women from the Yarra Valley exhibit their artwork for the first time.

Having studied under the guidance of professional artist Sandra Dare, the women are now ready to present their own work to the public.

The exhibition is a 50-work collection by the group of student artists who have been attending weekly classes with Sandra for nearly two years at the Mount Evelyn Community House.

Pam Vroland, one of the student artists who will be exhibiting her work said that each

of them had their own different style and each piece of work was profoundly different to the others.

“I don’t think there’s anything the same.

“I’m personally inclined to draw animals, flowers, and figures but one of the other ladies has a really modern touch to drawing and another loves oil paints.

We’re all very different which is a nightmare for Sandy,” Ms Vroland said.

This is the first time the students are exhibiting their work to members of the public and Pam said she was quite nervous at showing her works to people other than those in the class.

“You don’t mind sharing

with the class and with Sandy but sharing with the rest of the world - even when I took my work in to get it framed for the exhibition, it was like visiting a psychiatrist - I looked at his face to see what response I would get.”

For the past 18 months Pam has had weekly lessons with Sandy and appreciates the quiet and serenity it offers.

“Art can save your sanity, and that’s what we’ve all found,” said Mr Vroland.

The exhibition is at the Ray Oliver Gallery at Mont De Lancey and will open Saturday 3 June, and run until Sunday 18 June.

All works will be available to purchase.

Rare musical treat to mark collective milestone

By Kath Gannaway YARRA Ranges residents are in for a rare treat when the ACO Collective kicks off its 10th Anniversary Tour in Healesville on Wednesday, 14 June.

Internationally acclaimed Swedish violinist Malin Broman will direct the concert series which combines the talents of the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s most experienced musicians with Australia’s most talented, emerging young musicians.

The combination of experience and youth has created an orchestra with a fresh, energetic performance style which will be seen at its most dynamic with

the choice of Schubert’s ‘Death And The Maiden’ as its feature piece for the milestone tour of regional Victoria.

John Keene, one of the ACO’s 2017 emerging artists, has been playing double bass since the age of seven.

He has a string of achievements, prizes and accolades to his bow, including a Sydney Symphony Fellowship, and selection for the ACO Collective.

The opportunity to play Death And The Maiden, along with pieces by Dowland and Britten, under ensemble artistic director Pekka Kuusisto, and Broman as guest director, is golden.

Audiences can expect a performance with edge, and Keene said the ensemble was looking forward to playing to regional audiences who might not have the same access to classical music as their city counterparts.

Yarra Ranges Council offers a complementary ticket for under 26-year-olds through its ‘A Minor Tix’ program.

The ACO Collective’s 10th Anniversary ‘Death And The Maiden’ regional tour launches at the Memo in Healesville on Wednesday, 14 June at 7.30pm.

The Memo, Healesville

ACO Collective.

Wonder Woman is a truly excellent superhero film that has brought the DC Expanded Universe back from the brink.

When Diana Themyscira (Gal Gadot), princess of the Amazons, learns of the devastating First World War raging outside her island paradise, she suspects that Ares, the god of war, has returned, and resolves to defeat him and end the war.

Directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman is coursing with the pathos, humour and life that DC’s recent films have

been sorely lacking.

Diana is a superbly-realised protagonist, brought to life with an assertive, elegant performance from Gadot. Every character in Wonder Woman is fun and engaging, but Diana in particular undergoes some outstanding character development. She is bold, clever, strong and proud, but naive about the world of man, and this naivete feeds effectively into her personal journey. Diana’s experiences in London provide some fish-out-of-water levity, and her discovery of her full godly potential, along with learning about moral greyness - humanity’s capacity

for both cruelty and kindness is deeply engrossing and even inspiring.

Wonder Woman has solid pacing, and Jenkins deftly balances harrowing war drama with intimate character depth and fanciful elements. The cinematography is breathtakingly vibrant, and the action scenes are jaw-droppingly cool, full of dynamic choreography, concussive impacts and artful, flowing slow-motion.

Jenkins and Gadot have delivered a thrilling, uplifting experience worthy of Wonder Woman’s legacy as a hero and feminine icon.

- Seth Hynes

Big-gulf margins of win

By Cameron Hutchison Round 7 is done ‘n’ dusted, and there were big winners in Division 1 with the smallest margin being 55 points.

Winners in Division 1 Football Woori Yallock, Healesville, Emerald, Olinda Ferny Creek and Wandin.

Division 2 and the closest game was Belgrave by six points over Powelltown.

Alexandra, Seville and Yarra Glen were also on the winner’s podium.

A Grade netball winners were Woori Yallock, Monbulk Hawks, Olinda Ferny Creek, Wandin and Warburton Millgrove, and in Division 2 Yea, Kinglake, Belgrave and Yarra Junction got the points.

Ladder positions are tight in both divisions of senior football with just two games separating the top four.

Wandin’s win has kept them one game clear on top.

Division 2 and Yarra Glen, Seville and Belgrave are all square on top with Alexandra just one game behind.

Netball in Division 1 sees two wins separating the top three.

Division 2 has Belgrave clear on top by one win, but Yarra Junction and Yarra Glen are knocking on the door.

Division 1 Seniors Football Woori Yallock 14.14 (104) d Gembrook Cockatoo 3.3 (21) Woori Yallock travelled to Gembrook, and unfortunately for Gembrook it was not the day they would have hoped for. Woori Yallock got off to a solid start, kicking four goals to one and a lead of 18 points at quarter time. The second quarter was not the prettiest football; Woori Yallock could only manage 1.5 while Gembrook could only add one behind. The lead had grown out to 28 points at half-time, and it was always going to be hard for Gembrook to win from there. Woori Yallock’s third quarter was a bit cleaner, kicking 4.3 to 1 straight and it was now game over. Another five goals to one last quarter and Woori Yallock got the four points. Not as convincing as they would have liked, but they now sit fourth on the ladder, percentage and one game clear from UpweyTecoma in 5th.

Woori Yallock Best: H. Smith, B. Monkhorst (4 goals), K. Thompson, C. Smedley (1 goal), C. Cameron, M. Batten (1 goal) Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: R. Wilson, S. Ponter, R. Causer, S. Gramc, L. Henzen, D. Smith (1 goal) Healesville 18.17 (125) d Monbulk 8.7 (55) Healesville played host to Monbulk and came away with a very convincing win. Things were tight in the first, with Healesville only having an eight-point lead at quarter time. Healesville got

their game going in the second and piled on 6.4 to 4.3 to extend the lead to 21 points at half-time.

The momentum stayed with the Bloods in the third as they kicked another 5.5 to 2 straight and the game was all done by three-quarter time.

Healesville held Monbulk goalless in the last, while kicking four themselves and the final margin was 70 points.

Healesville Best: C. Adams (1 goal), N. Mende, S. Gordon (6 goals), A. Fraraccio, S. Donkin, L. Barclay Monbulk Best: S. Williams, C. Tibb, J. Major, S. McBride, C. Spooner (2 goals), B. Emmett (1 goal) Emerald 16.15 (111) d Warburton Millgrove 10.6 (66) Warburton got off to a good start, kicking 5.2 to 3.2 in the first and had a 12-point lead at quarter time. They continued that form into the second and kicked two goals to three to maintain a lead of six points going into the main break. The key for Warburton was to keep focused and take the first half into the second. Emerald regrouped over half time and got their game going in the third, kicking six goals to one and the momentum had swung into their favour. Another four goal last quarter to two and Emerald had racked up their third win for the season. Disappointment for Warburton as they could only kick three goals in the second half to let this one slip by 55 points.

Emerald Best: M. Pierce (3 goals), S. Buhmann, D. Karacsonyi, D. Volta, L. Sheppard, P. White (1 goal) Warburton Millgrove Best: B. Winzer (1 goal), A. White, L. Barnard, T. McKail, S. Andueza (1 goal), K. Hall (3 goals) Olinda-Ferny Creek 17.19 (121) d Mount Evelyn 5.10 (40) Olinda now hang onto the second spot on the ladder and are one game clear of Healesville after a very big win over a Mount Evelyn side that just could not get it going on Saturday. The scoring was tough in the first as both sides struggled to get a score on the board. Olinda were wasteful, kicking 1.6, and a scrappy Mount Evelyn could only manage one behind. Things swung into motion in the second with Olinda kicking 3.5 to 2.4 and Olinda’s lead had increased to 12 points at half-time. The game was tight and neither side were looking very impressive. Olinda came out in the third, and they must have had their boots on the opposite feet because they could not kick straight to save themselves. They managed to kick 4.6 to the Mounters 1.1 and extend their lead to 35 points. Finally, in the last, they found the big sticks and booted 9.2 to 1.4 and a big win by 81 points.

Olinda-Ferny Creek Best: J. Rankin (4 goals), N. Broomhall, R. Cottam-Starkey, C. Beattie, M. Hottes (3 goals), M. Bonuda (3 goals) Mt Evelyn Best: T. Chalkley, M. Gibbons, J. Fellows, J. Barden, D. Kift, D. Maynard (1 goal)

Wandin 15.20 (110) d Upwey-Tecoma 4.12 (36) Wandin are undefeated and clear leaders at the top of the ladder after a polished performance on Saturday against a lacklustre Upwey. Wandin peppered the goals in the first, but could only manage four majors to one but still had a lead of 21 points at quarter time. Another four goals in the second to Upwey’s three behinds, and it was all Wandin’s way at half-time. Wandin continued their methodical way in the third and kicked 4.5 to 2.1 and the game was all over. A score of 3.4 to 1.4 in the last and Wandin came away with a 74-point win at the final siren.

Wandin Best: J. McInnes, B. Harvey (1 goal), R. Ross, J. Ladner, P. Hodgett (5 goals), M. O’Donohue (1 goal).

Division 2 Seniors Football Alexandra 22.20 (152) d Yea 13.4 (82) Alexandra have skipped a game clear in four after a big win over Yea on Saturday; the first for the Hedger-Ivey Cup. Alexandra kicked 5.6 to 3.2 in the first to take a lead of 16 points into the second. A huge 7.9 to 2 second quarter and the margin had blown out to 55 points at half-time.

Brayden Norris was on fire kicking seven for the day. Patrick Rattray was the spearhead for Yea, kicking seven himself, but it was not going to be enough. Alexandra kicked 5.3 to 4.1 in the third and the quarter was even as was the last with nine goals being kicked but the honours went to Alexandra at the end of the day.

Alexandra Best: B. Cooper (2 goals), B. Norris (7 goals), S. Hill (4 goals), C. Mullins, Z. Heaslip, B. Woollard Yea Best: H. Jarvie, P. Rattray (7 goals), A. McSpeerin (1 goal), R. Ali, S. Pearce (3 goals), E. Neilson Seville 15.16 (106) d Kinglake 10.7 (67) Seville currently sit second on the ladder but share top spot with Yarra Glen and Belgrave after a good win over Kinglake. Seville got the jump on the Lakers, kicking 5.5 to 1.1 in the first, and it was hard to see where Kinglake were going to get their goals from. Kinglake bounced back in the second, outscoring Seville kicking 4.3 to 1.1 and they reduced the lead to eight points at half-time.

Seville regrouped and came out kicking 4.5 to 1.2 to extend their lead out to 29 points at three-quarter time. Josh Fraser was on fire, kicking 8 goals for the day. It was goals a plenty in the last with 9 goals being kicked but Seville saluted the crowd at the final siren.

Seville Best: D. Broadway (2 goals), J. Neal (2 goals), J. Fraser (8 goals), A. Mammoliti, A. Wind, J. Nolan Kinglake Best: W. Graf (1 goal), L. Hannah, R. Mitchell (1 goal), J. Butterworth, J. Crowe (2 goals), J. Mende Belgrave 16.12 (108) d Powelltown 14.18 (102) In the closest game for the round, Belgrave travelled to Powelltown and have earned themselves a share of top spot with Yarra Glen and Seville. Powelltown got the early lead by three points at quarter time. Belgrave kicked 5.4 to 4.2 in the second and went into half time with a five-point lead. Things opened up in the third and goal kicking was on display with 10 goals being kicked and the margin was only six points at three-quarter time. Powelltown turned it on in the last, but could not find the big sticks and in the end kicked themselves out of it with a 2.10 to 3.4 last quarter and gave Belgrave a hard-earned win of six points.

Belgrave Best: P. Gough, M. Johnson (2 goals), J. McNamara (2 goals), J. Lowe (3 goals), C. Power, W. Carlyle Powelltown Best: J. Moore, R. Johnson, G. Newing (4 goals), N. Moody, D. Rees (4 goals), M. McLaughlin (1 goal) Yarra Glen 25.18 (168) d Yarra Junction 3.9 (27) Yarra Glen has earned themselves top spot on percentage after a big win by 141 points over a shell-shocked Yarra Junction. Yarra Glen got off to an absolute flyer, kicking 8.1 to 1.2 and a game winning lead of 41 points at quarter time. Another 7.6 to 1.3 in the second quarter and the lead was 80 points at half-time. Eleven goal kickers for Yarra Glen made it hard for Yarra Junction to match up on anybody as they kicked goals at will.

A score of 6.3 to 3 behinds in the third and it was now a 116-point lead and Yarra Glen could take their foot off the pedal. That was not the instructions and they kicked another 4.8 to 1.1 in the last to finish Yarra Junction’s day.

Yarra Glen Best: D. Hurley (3 goals), J. Ince (6 goals), R. McDermott (5 goals), S. Wintle (3 goals), B. Marsh, J. Clare (2 goals) Yarra Junction Best: L. Ward (1 goal), D. Wilson (1 goal), S.

Stan stars in wet weather WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY On a wet and cold Wednesday, 23 hardy players took part in the midweek Stableford competition.

The best score on the day went to Stan Slusarek, with 37 healthy points.

Ian Garside came in second with 36 points. The balls went down to 35. NTPs were snared by C.H.B. on ‘both’ the first and the ninth - a good day’s work, Craig! No one got on to the 12th.

SATURDAY Stroke and Monthly Medal: A Grade went to Mr Reliable, Jas Kennedy, with a Nett 69. But, the Medal and B Grade was won by Clinton Toohey with a most impressive 66 Nett. Clinton is a relatively new member, but he has learnt how to play the course ‘very quickly’.

Runner-up on the day was Neil Leckenby, with a nonetoo-shabby Nett 67. The ball rundown extended to 73.

NTPs were claimed by Clinton Toohey 3rd, Willo 5th and 15th, Junior Kempton 9th and Ben Doggett 12th.

The much-sought-after President’s Trophy went to that talented junior, Angus Smith, with a Nett 76. Well done, young man; another trophy for your expanding collection!

Motoring Nelson breaks through After knocking on the door for many years, Woori Yallock’s Matt Nelson finally broke through on Saturday 20 May at Waikerie’s Sunline Speedway to claim his maiden state title in a national class, winning the South Australian Street Stock Title.

Contesting 20 race meetings in Street Stocks and Modified Sedans during the 2016-'17 season, Nelson has achieved some pleasing results, having finished runner-up in the Victorian Street Stock Title and third in the Victorian Modified Sedan Title.

However, Nelson managed to go one better on Saturday night, after delivering what was a consistent performance.

Starting out of position five for the 25-lap South Australian Title-deciding feature race - by virtue of a fourth, a win and a third in his heat races - a determined Nelson made his way up to third in the opening laps, before quickly moving into second on lap five.

Nelson’s second-place stint lasted only two laps, as Anthony Beare managed to pip him on lap seven.

However, it was not to be for Beare, who was sent rear of field when he lost a muffler on lap 11, once again pro-

moting Nelson to second.

The Vic #61 Wayson Oil/ Smooth Suspension supported VY Holden Commodore racer then set about attempting to chase down race leader Mark Gartner, who sustained a flat tyre on lap 20 while controlling the pace out front.

With Lady Luck smiling down on him, Nelson was able to capitalise on Gartner’s misfortune to take over the lead on lap 23 and holding on to it to claim a comfortable win ahead of current National Champion Rhys Heinrich and Gartner.

Nelson, who has previously won numerous state titles in a range of VSC classes, said it was reward for much effort.

“It means so much to win my first state title in a national class,” he said.

“It takes a lot of time, money and effort to travel around the country as much as we do in Street Stocks and Modified Sedans, so to be able to achieve this result in the South Australian Title really makes all of the sacrifices worthwhile.

“I have to say a huge thanks to my family, who put so much hard work

Above: Matt Nelson in his beloved 61 car. 168986 Right: Matt Nelson (centre) enjoys life at the top. 168986 into the car and who continue to support me. This win is as much mine as it is theirs.”

For his next appearance, Nelson

will be contesting the 100-Lap Derby at Alexandra Speedway over the June Long Weekend (the Saturday and Sunday of June 10 and 11).
