A collision on the Warburton Highway on Thursday was the second serious incident there in the past few months.

Serious injuries plates, had minor injuries and was not taken to hospital.

The collision comes a month after a similar car crash took place in the same area.

A resident, who lives near the highway, said she had seen a few accidents occur near the same spot which she said was partly due to a ‘large bump’ which had formed and could unsettle a car.

“It’s a terrible stretch of road ... there are always accidents there,” she said.

“It was a combination of driver inexperience and poor road conditions,” police said.

Yarra Ranges Highway patrol Sergeant Dave Macclefatrick reminded drivers to drive to the conditions especially following days of warm weather and then rain.

“Obviously, during period of heavy rain drivers must be aware of the road surface changes and need to drive to those conditions ... especially after dry periods where oil can soak into the tarmac and then leech out when it rains,” Sgt Macclefatrick said.

some crashes along that stretch, they were usually unrelated.

“We’d had one within the last month that was also a serious accident, under similar circumstances and road conditions, but prior to that one there hadn’t been one for some time,” she said.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol believe the crash was a mixture of both driver inexperience and poor road conditions.

“The 4WD was coming up the hill on the bend and the driver lost control of the vehicle and had a head-on with the other vehicle heading in the opposite direction.”

A collision on the Warburton Highway on Thursday was the second serious incident there in the past few months.

Two cars collided head-on, about 5pm on 19 October, prompting closure of the road between Carter Street and Alpine Boulevard.

Police believe a four-wheel drive travelling from Launching Place towards Woori Yallock lost control and veered into the oncoming lane, colliding with a small hatchback travelling in the opposite direction.

The two occupants of the smaller

vehicle were trapped for nearly an hour before emergency services were able to free them.

One of the occupants of the hatchback, a woman in her fifties was flown to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious chest, pelvic and abdominal injuries.

The other occupant, a male in his fifties suffered pelvic and leg injuries and was also taken by ambulance to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious condition.

A local ‘no’ to death Bill

By Peter Douglas The assisted dying Bill to be put forward to the Victorian Upper House has failed to win any support from Yarra Ranges’ state politicians.

While the move to legalise assisted dying for the terminally ill did win some support among the local MPs, they all viewed the legislation as being significantly flawed.

Monbulk MP and Victorian Deputy Leader James Merlino was among the most passionate critics of the Bill, with his views going against many in his party, including Victorian Leader Daniel Andrews.

Tensions were so high with his stance that Health Minister Jill Hennessy inadvertently sent Mr Merlino an expletive-laden text message.

Mr Merlino voted against the Bill

on Friday 20 October, as did Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe, Eildon MP Cindy McLeish and Gembrook MP Brad Battin.

Nevertheless, the Bill passed the lower house 47 votes to 37.

While early reports suggested the Bill could pass the upper house, there are more recent suggestions the path could be far from easy.

During the debate, Mr Merlino put forward five amendments to the Bill, all of which were defeated.

Those included measures to address inequality over best practice palliative care, uncertainties about the substances to be used, the risk of doctor-shopping and inadequate safeguards.

“This parliament is contemplating ... state-sanctioned suicide, forever changing the doctor-patient relationship,” Mr Merlino told parliament.

“The legislation provides for assisted suicide at a 12-month prognosis, not the six months provided for in Oregon.

“Ours is not the most conservative model. We have all heard stories about people surviving well past a 12-month prognosis. We all know those stories.

Doctors can get it wrong.”

Eildon MP, Cindy McLeish, who also addressed parliament, told the Mail she agreed with the sentiments of Mr Merlino’s arguments and wanted further review of the Bill.

Ms McLeish introduced two of her own amendments.

Firstly, this included the reduction of access from a 12-month prognosis to six months.

Secondly, ineligibility if the person is suffering from a treatable mental illness. This includes the requirement of a referral by an assessing practitioner

to a specialist determination of a treatable mental illness (e.g. depression) if the assessor is unable to determine this for themselves.

Ms McLeish said: “Although relatively simple, the amendments require a number of consequential amendments throughout the Bill”.

Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe said she would not support the Bill, with her major concerns surrounding the drugs to be used.

“I’ve got concerns about the cocktail of drugs to be used, there’ve been reports of people vomiting up the drug and not ingesting it all. Also, if the person doesn’t use the drugs and they’re kept on premises - what happens then?” she said.

“There’s also been no conversation with the Federal Government about who will pay for these drugs.”

Gembrook MP Brad Battin also has an issue with the proposed drugs.

Mr Battin doesn’t want to see a new drug enter the market, but wants to consider an option of following the lead of other countries.

However, Premier Andrews backed the bill confidently, saying it was long overdue in Victoria.

“This (assisted dying) is happening, quietly and violently, in our suburbs and towns. Every year, 50 people experiencing an irreversible deterioration in physical health are resorting to ... the ‘final cry of human desperation’,” Mr Andrews told Parliament.

“Fifty people a year are vanishing in lonely, desperate and unspeakable ways - 50 people who the coroner says have made an ‘absolute clear decision’ that no reasonable offer to support or relief could possibly temper.”

Invisible farmer seen among Victorian women

By Derek Schlennstedt As a farmer in the Yarra Valley, and a CFA volunteer, Pat Bigham has been caring for the land and helping others for a number of years. Now as part of the International Day of Rural celebrations, Women Museums Victoria, Her Place and the Invisible Farmer project have created an installation that acknowledges prominent Victorian women who share a connection to the land. And having spent five decades working on the land, and over 35 years as a CFA volunteer it is apt that Pat be included in the Women on the Land exhibit. The installation features personal items that represent the person she is and Pat said she was honoured to be a part of it.

Though she was concerned that there were many others out there who weren’t getting the recognition they deserve. “I was asked to get together some items that represented me, so they got my CFA gear, my CFA medals, my Beatrix Potter P, and my Victorian farmers thankyou for being on the executive certificate,” Pat said.

It’s a huge honour, but it never sits comfortably with me, as I believe that an individual can’t do all this ... it’s a team effort.

There’s hundreds of thousands of women in the state alone who haven’t been recognised for what they do. The Women of the Land exhibition celebrates the social, civic and entrepreneurial achievements of Australian women and their role in shaping our nation.

Quite often relegated to the term “invisible farmers", women in farming go unnoticed due to the masculine perception of the work involved.

Pat, a free range poultry farmer hopes that this stigma is changing and that the exhibition will help to change the dialogue that “farming is men’s stuff ... it’s not,” she said. “I’m hoping younger girls go and see it and see that if you set your mind to it and want to be something, you can.”

You don’t look at whether you have a dress on or a pair of jeans, if that’s what you want to do and you have the ability and nous to do it, go for it.”

For more information on the installation, which runs from 13 October to 26 November, visit https://museumsvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseum/whats-on/women-of-the-land/

As part of the International Day of Rural Women, Pat Bigham was chosen to exhibit items that represent her life at an installation in Melbourne that celebrates women who work on the land.

Market fee contested

By Kath Gannaway Yarra Junction Community Market is refusing to pay a licence fee to Yarra Ranges Council for the right to run the market in the car park adjacent to the football ground.

The licence, issued under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978, is standard for groups operating venues on council-owned or managed land, but YJCM treasurer Adele Paisley said the market was a not-for-profit community enterprise run by volunteers with multiple benefits going back to the community and should not have to pay.

Ms Paisley said the council sent an invoice for $580.58 for two year’s leasing fees and that they have been told that if they don’t pay, they won’t be able to run the twice monthly markets.

She said they kept the site clean and tidy on market days but got nothing for the fee and had their own public liability. “We’ve been operating the market here for well over 30 years, and in addition to providing something for visitors to stop here twice a month, we return every cent of the stall fees to local emergency service organisations,� Ms Paisley said.

The committee on Sunday handed out $12,000 to five local CFA brigades and the Upper Yarra SES, the proceeds of markets held over the past three years.

“It doesn’t add up that with just six community markets in the shire the council would make volunteer groups pay for a lease that provides nothing and returns just $1800 a year to the shire, when they hand out hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants with the other hand,� Ms Paisley said.

She also questions why a small market such as Yarra Junction would pay the same as the much bigger Healesville Community Market.

Yarra Ranges Council, however, says the licence is required under council’s Local Laws. “Council’s General Provisions Local law prohibits markets on councilowned or managed land without authorisation, such as community licence agreements,� director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis told the Mail.

Mr Varmalis said the licences set out a licensee’s obligations for use of the site, including how and when the land could be used for what purposes, indemnities, insurance and maintenance obligations.

Mr Vermalis said the fees were set by council in the annual budget as per a Fees and Charges Schedule with all community markets, regardless of size paying the same, set fee.

O’Shannassy Ward Councillor Jim Child, said the majority of community markets paid the fee.

Market manager David Boler and treasurer Adele Paisley are calling on Yarra Ranges Council to reconsider their demand for fees. 174254.

Picture: KATH GANNAWAY “This particular market has taken a stand to have a different opinion on it,� he said.

Cr Child said with Local Bylaws currently under review there was an opportunity for the market committee to make a submission arguing their case. “I encourage them to make a submission,� he said. “We have entered this process (local

laws review) to consult with the community as far as bylaws go. If we are going to impose these bylaws and regulations, then our community should be part of the process of setting those bylaws.�

Yarra Ranges Council has confirmed that just six markets are required to pay the licence fee with other markets operating on private land.

Tragedy hits home for CFA captain

By Kath Gannaway Warburton CFA volunteers had more to contend with than the 80 candles on former captain Barry Marshall’s birthday cake on Sunday 22 October.

As brigade members prepared to celebrate their longest-serving member’s big day at the station, their pagers went off. “Seeing my own house address coming up on the pager ... as a captain it’s something you would hope never to see, and it hits home when it’s your address,� Warburton brigade Captain Hazel Clothier said of the moment she realised the fire call this time was more than too close to home!

With a virtual strike team of Warburton members, neighbouring brigade members and CFA officials at the station, along with five other local brigades and Upper Yarra SES on the road after a photo-shoot at Yarra Junction, the response was swift. “It was a fantastic response, and for the family just so lucky that it happened during the day when my husband and children were at home and awake, so they could see and smell what was going on,� Captain Clothier said.

Yellingbo CFA Captain Paul Spinks praised the work of the brigades and the SES, describing the result as “an amaz-

Firefighters and SES volunteers at work. ing save with minimal damage�. “The work by the CFA and the SES together is probably one of the best saves I’ve seen for a long time, just because of the co-ordination,� he said.

The fire started in the roof of the house which has an extremely high pitch and is well-fortified against bushfire. “Upper Yarra SES volunteers played a pivotal role in working off the roof and removing roof sheets to enable us to get to the seat of the fire,� Captain Spinks said.

Captain Clothier also praised the work of the SES who she said had displayed great skill with rope work on the very steep roof.

On a personal note, Captain Clothier said with her CFA and neighbour-

Firefighters and SES volunteers at work. hood connections she and her family were surrounded by friends who looked after them. “I am well aware with the two house fires (at Millgrove) two weeks ago, that we have come off very lightly,� she said.

Two neighbouring families lost their homes and belongings earlier this month.

An electrical fault in wiring in the ceiling has been identified as the cause of the fire.

The incident highlighted the reality for volunteer firefighters that the call can come at any time of the day or night, that family and community celebrations are not immune and that fires, road crashes and other catastrophies often hit very close to home.

Yarra Junction police have located a burnt out car along Chancellors Spur track.

The Ford Laser was stolen between 21 and 22 July and was only located on 17 October.

The vehicle had been completely burnt out, destroying any evidence, and police said it was located in a very ‘remote’ area of Powelltown.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Yarra Junction police on 5967 1104.

Drug trafficking charges A 49-year-old Lilydale woman has been charged with trafficking cannabis, possession of heroin and possession of methylamphetamine after being arrested in Lilydale on 16 October.

Police were called to a service station on Maroondah Highway for a welfare check due to the female allegedly being slumped over the steering wheel.

The female was woken up and a search of the vehicle revealed cannabis plants and other drugs.

The female will face the Ringwood Magistrates' Court on a later date.

Rainy and windy conditions have resulted in a number of car crashes across the Yarra Valley, and police are urging drivers to take care and drive to the conditions.

On Sunday 22 October along Gembrook-Launching Place Road, a P-plater has lost control of her vehicle and crashed in wet conditions.

Police report that the vehicle was a write-off and that the 19-year-old sustained minor injuries.

On Saturday 21 October, a car failed to give way near Corduroy Road in Yarra Junction.

The two vehicles collided with each other, but there were no injuries.

On Thursday 19 October two vehicles collided head-on along Warburton Highway between Carter Street and Alpine Boulevard.

The incident caused the closure of Warburton Highway for several hours, and two individuals were taken to The Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious injuries.

Police believe a 4WD vehicle travelling from Launching Place towards Woori Yallock lost control and veered into the oncoming lane, colliding with a small hatchback travelling in the opposite direction.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Sergeant Sgt Dave Macclefatrick reminded drivers to drive to the conditions especially following days of warm weather and then rain.

Obviously, during a period of heavy rain drivers must be aware of the road surface changes and need to drive to those conditions ... especially after dry periods where oil can soak into the tarmac and then leech out when it rains,â&#x20AC;? Sg Macclefatrick said.

The Upper Yarra Region, and if we use the old Upper Yarra Shire boundary as a guide, is about 90 per cent native vegetation (mainly state and national parks); we are rated as an area of extreme wildfire risk.

The Fire Risk Assessment - done on the proposed revegetation of Haining Farm that claimed zero increase in fire risk - is unacceptable.

Fire modelling is only as good as the information fed into it.

Important local factors and past fire history were ignored, basically any increase in fuel load in our wildfire vulnerable area is an increase in fire risk.

For starters, a revegetated Haining would be a fire threat to the houses adjacent to the northeast corner in the event of a fire outbreak and subsequent south-west wind change like we experienced on Black Saturday.

It is time for accountability for this type of proposal.

Nailed it HOW very refreshing to see a gentleman late on Saturday afternoon removing a garage sign from a lamp post on Maroondah Highway in Healesville.

It seemed there were garage sales galore on the weekend and that usually means that the town is littered with decaying signs for weeks to come on trees, posts and fences, and it makes the town look untidy.

I don’t have a problem with advertising garage sales and other events, but please take the signs down ASAP. Thanks to the conscientious man who absolutely nailed it!

Studio art an open success

By Kath Gannaway The second instalment of the Yarra Valley Open Studios showcasing the work of artists along the Melba Highway was a huge success over the weekend of 14 and 15 October.

Hundreds of visitors, including artists from across Yarra Ranges flocked to the studios of artists from Coldstream through to Toolangi including 95-year-old painter Len Alden, a member of the Steels Creek Painting Group.

Mr Alden dabbled in pencil sketches of famous film stars as a teenager and took up painting in 1995 after a career in signwriting.

Surrounded by fellow artists at the Steels Creek Community Centre, he said the Open Studios weekend gave artists an opportunity to engage with the public.

“This type of event gives a feeling that people are interested in what you are doing as artists,” he said.

Warburton artist Sue Sluzarek ventured to ‘the other side’ and said the decision to stage the event over three months, featuring the Maroondah, Melba and Warburton highway artists, was brilliant.

“I think it’s just wonderful,” she said looking over the Group Exhibition at Coombe Estate in Coldstream where the Melba Open Studios was launched.

“As artists we can now get out and see the work of other artists, and the public can also get to see more at a more relaxed pace,” Ms Sluzarek said.

The cabaret of the stars The Celestial Cabaret on Saturday, 28 October is being hailed as a highlight event of Yarra Valley culture and community.

Staged at the astounding Projekt 3488 in Warburton, The Celestial Cabaret will feature a convergence of some of Melbourne and the Yarra Valley’s finest musicians in a night of jazz, sublime musicianship and some of the greatest songs of the 20th Century.

With the incomparable Simon Oats as compere, the show will commence with the Stardust Jazz Quartet, playing music from jazz luminaries such as Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Chet Baker.

The centrepiece of the evening, the Dead Divas Celestial Cabaret is a stunning show of songs

from the great female vocalists of the last century.

Featuring the glorious voices of Jodie Walker and Caroline Dickason and backed by the Heavenly Kingdom Combo, their repertoire includes the music of Judy Garland, Etta James, Nina Simone, Cilla Black, Sarah Vaughan, Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin.

The evening will be topped off by local acoustic troubadours The Anecdote, whose hauntingly intimate and strikingly original music mesmerised The Warburton Arts Centre earlier this year at the release of their debut album ‘Carved Upon The Air’.

Featuring cello, trumpet, percussion and soaring vocals, their performances weave spells of incantatory magic. Tickets are available online at www.trybooking.com/RQHD, or at Earth Bazaar in Warburton.

Ali’s Wedding Fri 27-Oct Sat 28-Oct Tue 31-Oct

The Anecdote will weave their musical spells at The Celestial Cabaret.

Geostorm is a fun throwback to the ’90s style of blockbuster filmmaking, an era defined by archetypal characters, absurd science and earnest, uncomplicated heroism.

A global satellite array, nicknamed ‘Dutch Boy’, has been deployed to manipulate the weather and neutralise climate-based natural disasters. When Dutch Boy begins malfunctioning, its disgraced creator Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) must race against time to fix or disable it before it can unleash a catastrophic worldwide storm.

The plot is ridiculous and some of the developments are a little predictable, but Geostorm still generates a strong sense of intrigue and escalating peril. Damning details and cover-ups steadily

emerge as the disasters multiply, leading us to wonder who might be behind this crisis.

With his trademark gruff charisma, Butler leads an ensemble cast full of chemistry, with the stand-outs being Jim Sturgess as Jake’s tenacious, more level-headed brother Max, and Alexandra Maria Lara as Ute Fassbinder, the graceful, confident leader of the Dutch Boy station.

There is also a very poignant subplot involving Jake’s shaky relationship with his daughter Hannah (Talitha Bateman), in which Bateman distinguishes herself as an outstanding young actress.

With its scrappy working-class hero, conspiracy undertones and focus on large-scale disasters, Geostorm is a better successor to Independence Day (which Geostorm director Dean Devlin produced in 1996) than last year’s atrocious Independence Day: Resurgence.

Geostorm is a moving, well-acted and exciting piece of B-movie cheese.

Maddy on world stage

By Kath Gannaway

By Effie Caloutas Seville motocross rider Maddy Brown has proved herself on the Australian circuit and competing on a world stage is now firmly in her sights.

A fund-raiser for the courageous motocross champion on Saturday, 25 October, in the lead-up to the Women’s Motocross World and Australian Titles, is part of the plan.

The night will include disco, bingo and karaoke along with a raffle where guests will be in the running for a 60-inch TV. The 22-year-old motocross rider says she is aiming to raise between $5000 and $10,000 on the night so she can compete overseas.

“I am appreciative of any support. I need anything I can because it’s a long way to Europe,” Maddy said.

Inspired by her father, Maddy started bike racing at the age of nine at Nunawading along with her three siblings until she made her way to the top, riding at state and national level.

The four-time Australian Motocross Women’s champion says it has been a difficult journey competing in a male-dominated field.

“It’s harder to get any support being a female racer,” she said.

“That’s the reason I am holding the fund-raiser as it will go a long way in achieving my goal to compete overseas.”

Maddy’s mother Mandy Brown says that her daughter

“Maddy continues to work hard in her chosen sport, but it has been very expensive for her to train overseas,” she said.

“She is looking to train in Belgium because the race tracks are different to here in Australia.”

Ms Brown says that while she is proud of her daughter’s

success as a motocross racer, she also worries about her welfare when riding overseas.

“I am confident in her abilities, but anything can happen in a race,” she said.

The event, at St Patrick’s Community Centre in Lilydale is $25 per head with drinks at discounted bar prices.

A number of CFA brigades along and off the Warburton Highway will open their doors on Sunday, 29 October, as part of fire awareness and education ahead of the bushfire season.

Brigades have a range of activities planned to ensure residents are well-informed and well prepared for whatever the season might bring, and to meet local brigade volunteers and find out more about what they do.

Wesburn-Millgrove Fire Brigade is hosting a family fun day including tours of the Community Fire Refuge and lots of activities to keep the kids entertained while brigade members talk with parents.

A highlight of the Warburton CFA Open Day is a live ABC broadcast from 10am to noon to celebrate Warburton accessing essential emergency information via 96.1FM. Yellingbo Rural Fire Brigade will have a full range of activities from 10am to 4pm including Horses in bushfire presentation at 11am and a Horse Rescue demonstration at noon.

At Gruyere there is a community meeting at the station at 11am.

Hillcrest Brigade at Woori Yallock will have their open day on Wednesday evening from 6.30pm to 9.30pm.

Activities at various brigades will include fire-fighting demonstrations, tours of brigade stations, a driver-eye view from the big red trucks, sausage sizzles and more.

Check with your local brigade for details of times and specific activities and take the opportunity to be in the know ahead of what is being forecast as an extreme fire season.

SPRING RACING

A Mail News Advertising Feature

It's a beautiful thing A day at the races - it’s a wonderful thing.

A chance to road-test the new frock, polish those cufflinks and soak up the sun, cheering on a winner as the field thunders down the home straight.

Squeeze a cheeky breakfast mimosa in there somewhere and it’s a recipe for a perfect weekend.

But Yarra Valley Racing isn’t just another day at Flemington or Caulfield.

This is country racing with a pinch of glam, which means rural character, proper service, farm-fresh produce, and local wines that’ll have race-goers seriously considering a tree change.

And as Yarra Valley Racing’s Jason Taylor explained, Yarra Valley Racing doesn’t do jam-packed crowds, and they don’t do car park gridlock. For them, racing’s better when it’s stress-free, fun and family-friendly.

“Spring Racing’s three headline acts are the Cox Plate, the Melbourne Cup and Oaks Day, and we’ll be celebrating each one in style,” Jason said.

“We’re talking full local race programs, live music up on stage, free activities for the kids and all the action from Flemington and Moonee Valley streamed live on the big screen.”

Saturday 25 October kicks off the spring racing fun with the Cox Plate taking centre state. Partnered with excellent entertainment and some of the Yarra Valley’s best wine, it’s a day not to be missed.

“If you’ve been hibernating for the last few months, this is the time to dust off your frock, find the cufflinks and get the gang together for our famous Cox Plate Day,” Jason said.

Yarra Valley Racing doesn’t do jam-packed crowds, and they don t do car park gridlock. For them, racing s better when it s stress-free, fun and family-friendly.

“As usual we’ve got a full event lineup, including Fashions on the Field, live music and a big range of dining, marquee and hospitality packages. A track-side work party or a day out with the kids - whatever your style, we’ve got you covered.

Flemington may be hosting the main event, but the Yarra Valley Racing Club is celebrating the Melbourne Cup in their own way with ‘the biggest harness meet in the southern hemisphere’ on Tuesday November 7.

“It’s still the race that stops the nation,” Jason said.

“Except here you can actually find a

decent picnic spot.”

Finally, on Thursday November 9, the Yarra Valley Racing Club puts a twist on the traditional Oaks Day, with the event known in the valley as the ‘Pacing Cup.’ “This is Yarra Valley Racing showing off,” Jason said.

“The sun’s out, the horses are set, and everybody’s dressed to the absolute nines. The Pacing Cup is one of the club’s biggest annual harness events, and it tends to go off with a bang.

“So whatever your track style, you can take it easy: a day at the Yarra Valley Races means you’ve already picked a winner. Everything else is just gravy.”

Cire Training and seven students from Cire Community School are currently working to rebuild the kitchen garden at the Silvan Primary School.

Cire aims to support people who want to really live life, whether that s learning for work, play, school, or just to make life more interesting .

Cire is helping students at risk With over 30 years’ experience, Cire is one of the largest Adult and Community Education (ACE) organisations in Eastern Melbourne and is considered a pioneer of successful education options for young students at risk.

Spanning over four sites, Cire runs both VET courses and early childhood education, aiming to ‘support people who want to really live life, whether that’s learning for work, play, school, or just to make life more interesting’.

Under the guidance of Tim Brod-

erick from Swinburne University of Technology, Cire Training and seven students from Cire Community School are currently working to re-build the kitchen garden at the Silvan Primary School.

“Silvan Primary School students are engaged in cooking classes each Friday at the school. They are keen to lean about growing food, digging in the garden, picking fresh vegies, smelling and tasting the food they prepare, and sharing the experience with their

classmates and helpers,” Cire Services Education and Training Manager Anna-Louise Allen said.

“This project will not only provide the Silvan Primary students with pleasurable hands-on learning about food and good nutrition, but it is also an opportunity for the Cire VCAL students to participate in hands-on learning with a real sense of connection to their community.”

The Cire students are enrolled in a horticulture program as part of their

VET requirements for VCAL. They are developing skills and knowledge in landscape construction, building planter boxes, preparing garden beds and planting out seedlings.

“Each session begins with a toolbox meeting, where Tim from Swinburne outlines the tasks for the day. The students will be working at Silvan over the next five weeks, with the planter boxes nearing completion. The aim is to re-establish some existing fruit trees

and develop a mini orchard beside the kitchen garden,” Anna-Louise said.

“The Silvan Primary students have been watching progress each week from the classroom window as the students have worked on the project.

At the end of each day every student writes a journal detailing the tasks they have completed.”

PROPERTY NEWS

MAKE AN OFFER THEY CAN’T REFUSE THE traditional spring selling season is now well underway with greater supply offering house hunters plenty of opportunities to get a foothold on the property ladder.

As private treaty accounts for around 70 to 75 per cent of property transactions in Victoria, knowing how to make an offer is particularly important for those tho are looking to buy.

Buyers intending to make an offer should keep in mind that the seller does not have to accept it.

If the property hasn’t been on the market for long, vendors may choose to wait and see what other offers are made or may request different settlement terms.

This often results in a negotiation

between the two parties with the agent acting as a go between.

When negotiating, keep in mind the agent acts for the seller, not the buyer.

Prospective buyers who aren’t comfortable with the negotiation process may want to hire a buyer’s agent to represent them.

As the negotiations continue, buyers should always ensure their offer is in writing and must be accepted by a fixed date and time.

It’s also possible to make an offer that is subject to obtaining finance or the sale of an existing property.

Offers must be in writing and in the form of a contract signed by the buyer.

If the seller accepts the offer and countersigns the contract before the offer expires, there is a binding contract.

The contract sets out the terms of the sale, including the names of the buyer, seller and the estate agent, the title details, price, deposit, the balance owing and the date on which settlement will occur, at which time buyers can move into the property.

With residential property, cooling-off rights apply for a period of three clear business days from the time you sign the contract, unless the property is being auctioned.

For those thinking of selling this spring, now is the time to begin preparations to

ensure your property is looking its best. It’s a competitive market and a well presented home will assist in attracting a broad range of buyers.

It’s a good idea to choose your agent in advance so they can offer advice on what improvements will add value to your home.

Small maintenance can make a huge difference to how buyers view the property - as well as the price they are prepared to pay for it.

Crocs scalp the Burras

By Chris Anderson Round 3 action around the Yarra Valley over the weekend saw the second round of crossover games between the teams in DJ Strachan Shield and RA Finger Trophy.

Coldstream have certainly shown they like the new format as they collected their second A Grade scalp, this time accounting for reigning champs Warburton-Millgrove.

The Burras started the game with the bat, and despite a brilliant 74 not out from David Lever, he lacked partners to help him drive the score to a significant point.

A team effort with the ball from the Crocs restricted the home team to 7/123, a total well achievable, but with some work to be done against an accomplished Warburton-Millgrove attack.

The Crocs did lose a few wickets in the chase, but half centuries to captain Dean Oliffe and Brent Comden ensured the Crocs would secure their second ‘crossover’ victory giving their season some significant early season momentum.

Yarra Glen continued their impressive undefeated season with a clinical victory against Woori Yallock.

Woori Yallock won the toss and duly elected to bat.

Experienced pairing of Paul Broussard (39) and Tim Diggins (27) gave the Tigers innings some early momentum, but neither of the pair could capitalise on their start and the innings only limped on from there.

Jimmy Lusk (4/30) continued his great vein of form collecting another glut of middle order wickets to put the opposition innings into a tailspin to restrict the Tigers to 8/118.

Looking to start the season in fantastic fashion, the Glen made short work of the chase.

Experience and firepower was the key as John O’Donnell blasted 62 off 48 balls, and with support from Brendan Ricci (36 not out), the home team eclipsed the total with the loss of two wickets and needing only 22 overs.

Yarra Junction also continued the impressive early season form with another dominant display, this time against Wandin.

The Eagles batted first, and continuing his good form Andy Taylor posted another half century and was once again ably supported by Kevin Bomford (42) and Andy Weir (41).

The trio gave the innings much gusto and a score of 9/196 is an impressive accomplishment at Yarra Junction. Wandin battled gamely against the onslaught, and it was young off spinning star Jamie Elliott who showed the most composure.

Without his six wickets things would’ve got a whole lot more painful for the Bulldogs.

Lacking manpower, the Bulldogs found their first speed bump of the 2017-18 season, as they were swept aside for a paltry 68.

Taylor could lay claims to being the competition’s most in-form player, accompanying his half century were impressive figures of 6/14 as the Eagles signalled their intent on being a big player in Strachan Shield this season.

Healesville secured their first win of the season after a bleak first couple of rounds with an impressive display against Hoddles Creek.

With the game moved to Wesburn, the Bloods certainly enjoyed the change of scenery.

Brenton Damrow continued on from his fighting innings last week to post a half century, and a century partnership with Jayden Lawry gave the Bloods a base on which to build a big score.

That they did as Lawry posted the first century of the season in the top grade.

His unbeaten innings of 117, and another useful partnership, this time with Dale Senior (37), drove the score to an impressive 5/240.

As dogged as Hoddles Creek are with the bat, the score proved unattainable from the outset as economical bowling, and regular wickets restricted the Wombats to 8/95.

In a team performance with the ball, Scott Hamer as the standout with 2/5 off nine overs.

Seville also secured their first win of the season with a solid display against Gruyere.

Seville have found runs hard to get in recent seasons, but a disciplined effort saw them post a defendable total in the face of some tidy bowling from the Scorpions.

Premiership team-mates Matt Tilney (3/14) and Andy Kay (30 not out) battled out on opposite sides of the fence as they led the way for their young teams.

Liam McGookin (34) added some fight at the top of the order and with small contributions along the way, the Blues scrambled to 7/134.

Gruyere captain Jared Carroll proved his worth with the ball this week with tidy figures of 3/26.

Slow bowling proved to be the batsmen’s kryptonite this week as Andy Kay continued the trend, taking 6/13 as the Scorpion struggled to deal with his control and experience.

Carroll (32) again led from the front for his team, but with no one sticking around long enough at the other end, the visitors were dismissed for a disappointing 78, handing Seville their first win of the season, while leaving the defending Finger Trophy champs without a win after three rounds.

In the final round of the season, Mount Evelyn kept their undefeated season rolling with a solid all round display against a fighting Launching Place.

Having been asked to bat first, the Rovers kept the score ticking over regularly to post an impressive 7/208.

The visitors would however be disappointed that many of their batsmen didn’t convert starts into significant scores.

Daniel Giblin (46) and Gareth Fraser (36) were the main offenders after posting flourishing starts.

Chad Witherdin (38 not out) put an exclamation point on the innings with a blistering finish.

Matt McConnell (3/40) and Anthony Sequira (2/52) were the pick of the Launching Place bowlers.

Things were always going to be tough for Launching Place against a seasoned attack like the one Mount Evelyn possesses, and things were put on the back foot from the beginning.

Rovers captain Kane Jones had three Launch batsmen in the shed in the second over of the innings, and when veteran Chris Anderson sent another to back to the sheds, a quick kill was in sight with the home side 5/17.

Launching Place stalwarts Stuart Parker (35) and Andy Vandervlught (28) wouldn’t allow their young side to be embarrassed and the pair navigated their way through the middle overs to give their team some chance of lasting their allotted 40 overs.

Alas, young leg spinner Jon William removed the pair after drinks, and despite some tail end fight from some Launch youngsters, Mount Evelyn’s up and comer Pat Heaphy had the last laugh securing the last two wickets to close the Launching Place innings at 96.

Junior athletes join in the fun

By Jamie Strudley YARRA RANGES ATHLETICS Round 3 of Yarra Ranges Athletics was held on Saturday morning at Morrison Reserve, Mount Evelyn.

Light drizzle did not deter the little athletes as they ran, jumped and threw with plenty of smiles and hopes of PBs. Results are available on the LAVIC website or at www.yarrarangesathletics.org.au.

The seniors competed in Round 3 of the AV Shield held at Nunawading and Meadow Glen tracks.

Most of the athletes were at Nunawading creating a fantastic club atmosphere.

Many thanks to Malcolm, James, Kieran, Lucas, Jamie and the many others who shared clubhelper duties. Without your help, the club scores zero points.

It was also great to welcome some new faces

to the team, who all performed exceptionally; well done Ashlinn, Sarah, Oliver and Seamus.

Round 4 of little athletics next Saturday has an 8am start for Under 11s-Under 15s javelin; please get there early to help set up and be ready to start on time.

Good memories

By John Wood At the Woods Point Gun Club, there was a very good roll up for the Bernie Elstrek Memorial Championships that saw a great shoot eventuate.

Bernie’s wife, Beryl, and son, Ross, also attended to honour Bernie’s memory.

Two visiting shooters, Jim and Marlene Niland from the Alice Springs Gun Club, made a surprise visit after a long drive from the centre of Australia.

The Wood Ducks who attend the Alice Springs Masters Games know them well.

The Eye Opener resulted in cash wins for Shane Stokes and Ross Elstrek in AA Grade, 30/30 each.

Jim Niland, Daniel Chinn, Brendan Grimes and Allan Kidd, 29/30, received a share of the A Grade cash while Marty McLachlan won B Grade all to himself, 30/30.

John Winters’ 29/30 was enough for him to take C Grade.

Winners and grinners: From left are John Wood (sponsor), Bernie Stokes, Carol and Shane Stokes, Troy Grimes, Ross and Beryl Elstrek (sponsors) and Kirsten Chinn. 174216 The first of the Championships was a 25 target Double Barrel sponsored by John and Annette Wood.

Junior shooter, Troy Grimes was the first to return a perfect 25/25 but with Bernie Stokes, Shane Stokes and Ross Elstrek also matching his scores, there was a shoot off required.

Shane was the last man standing at 34/34 to take the championship sash and

the AA Grade prize. Ross Elstrek was second in AA, 25/25.

Bernie Stokes won A Grade, 31/31, from Troy Grimed 30/31 and after another short shoot off Geoff Hill, 28/30, and Tony Armstrong, 27/30, took B Grade first and second.

The next shoot is the President’s Trophy and Championships on Sunday 26 November starting at 10am.

Impressive win to Rex Ryan WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY Par: Rex Ryan won the day easily with an impressive +4. The next best score was square from Ian Garside, who, of course, was runner-up. The balls extended to -2 on a countback. NTPs went to Jason King 3rd, Ralph Logan 12th and CHB 17th.

TWILIGHT The unique nine-hole twilight competition is producing some stunning

scores early in the season. The best last week went to the ever-popular Lynda Dickson with 22 superb points. She won on a countback from Andrew McMath, who can count himself unlucky not to have won with that result. The ball rundown got to 18, also on a countback.

NTP winners were Goose Munro 3rd, Lynda Dickson 7th and Luke Patrick 9th.

SATURDAY Stableford: As with Wednesday’s results, there was a runaway winner on the

day. Ex-treasurer, Mike Plant, surprised even himself with a fantastic 42 points to win B Grade on the day. A Grade went to the ever-consistent Geoff Fall, with a creditable 38 points. Ossie was the day’s runner-up with a great 39 points.

If you accumulated 35 or more, then you are owed a ball. The daily NTPs went to Mike Plant 3rd - a good day out for Mike, Happy Gilmore 5th, Ossie 9th and Geoff Fall 15th.

The Heritage Family

Healesville suffer a defeat HEALESVILLE GOLF Healesville 1 travelled to Eastwood Golf to play their number one side on their grass green on a cool, overcast day.

Things looked very promising again for Healesville when they led by six shots at the break 52/46.

The last two weeks - after leading at the break - they went on to good wins, but found Eastwood Golf much too strong in the run home and went down 73/91.

Beau Simmons continued his good form and his team had another good win.

Healesville 2 received a walkover from Bayswater 4.

Results of Saturday’s Pennant

Healesville 1 3/73 def by Eastwood Gold 1 15/91. R. Patterson 22/22, T. Pye 9/27, S. Graham 18/29, B. Simmons 24/13.

On Wednesday night, the second week of the Corporate Challenge got underway at the Healesville Bowling Club.

On a much warmer night, the place was buzzing, no doubt due to more suitable conditions than the previous week.

Apart from the competitors trying to beat each other, there were also lots of children present, giving the night a real family atmosphere.

The public is welcome to have a look on Wednesdays at 6pm.

Good win for the bowlers WARBURTON BOWLS In cool and overcast conditions, Warburton 1 led all day to record another exciting victory over Heathmont 1 at home, 73 to 62.

The final end saw new player, Cameron Bell, with three opposition bowls surrounding the jack, trail the jack into the ditch and sat right on top of it, to the excitement of his fellow team-mates, capping off a great win.

Rink scores: B. Woods 25/13; J. Brookes 23/12; J. Van Der Zweep 14/12 and P. Woods 11/25. Warburton play Pakenham 1 away next week in another very challenging game.

Warburton 2 continued their great start to the season with a come from behind nail-biting victory over Berwick 5 away, 71 to 70.

Rink scores: G. Wynd 19/19; P. Summers 12/20; P. McConachy

19/15 and S. Mahoney 21/16. Warburton play Croydon 3 at home this week.

Unfortunately, the club could not field a Warburton 3 side, but hopefully numbers will allow them to this week against Chirnside Park 5 at home.

The Tuesday Midweek side was defeated by Bayswater 1 at home in another close contest 50 to 54.

Rink scores: G. Walsh 21/13; S. Mahoney 18/18 and S. Freestone 11/23. Warburton play Monbulk 1 away this week.

The popular Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition commences on Wednesday 8 November from 6.45pm.

The Intra Club Championship Singles Competition fixture is up and running as the club looks forward to many close and exciting contests.

Motoring Silver Ghost just glides in One of the real ‘head-turners’ of the 2017 Motorclassica Motorshow was media personality David Berthon’s 1913 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.

Berthon’s labor of love took out the Best in Show for the popular car show, held earlier in October.

One of just six Silver Ghosts of the same specification remaining in the world, the magnificent London to Edinburgh Torpedo Tourer by Peel of Brisbane was originally built to the same specification as Rolls-Royce’s 1913 Spanish Grand Prix winner.

Berthon said it was an “enormous thrill” to have taken out the top prize.

“The reaction to the car from the public all weekend has been fantastic, that’s been the thrill for me, and this (the award) is cream on the cake,” he said.

The black machine was requisitioned by the British military in World War I, before later being sold to a Sydney doctor, arriving in Australia in 1928.

It was used locally, at various times as a funeral mourning car, and even a tow truck, before being abandoned in a Sydney backyard for decades.

Rediscovered in 1966 and fitted with its current body, the Best in Show winner was found by Berthon in 2001 and fully restored by Victorian Rolls-Royce specialists, Artisan Coachworks and The Derby Works, over the past 15 years.

The Restoration of the Year Award at the Concours d’Elegance went to Terry Smart’s 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 cabriolet, restored jointly by Reinhard Klavers and Associates and Re-Creation Automotive.

David Berthon’s 1913 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.

The Spirit of Motorclassica Award was picked up by Queenslander Andrew Torti and his 1924 Lancia Trikappa.

Lancia was a feature marque at this year’s event.

In conjunction with Motorclassica, the Mail awarded five lucky readers a double-pass to see

this year’s event.

The winners expressed their thanks and enjoyment over attending this year’s event.

The keys to adulthood gional areas when it comes to young adults getting their licences,” Mr Prosser said.

“In metropolitan areas, younger people are depending less on cars, and are using alternate means of transport such as trains, trams, buses and bikes.

“In regional areas, the car is still the most popular mode, however, there are often also fewer alternatives for getting from A to B.” Males are also more likely to hold a driver’s licence than females in the 18 to 24 year range, a statistic which continues in the latest revision of this report, despite the fact that females are catching up with males when it comes to passing their driving test, according to VicRoads.

The Licensing Trends Report reveals the importance of RACV’s traditional advocacy work in the roads space, while expanding into new areas of mobility.

Young Victorians are waiting longer to obtain their licence. 174170

A driver’s licence was once the signal of adulthood, but seems to be losing its appeal.

Youth in Victoria have recorded an 18 per cent decrease in the average licensing rate for those aged 18 to 24 years.

New research by RACV shows that 18-yearolds have the lowest licensing rate in 16 years at 39.6 per cent, down from just over 50 per cent.

RACV’s General Manager of Public Policy and Corporate Affairs, Bryce Prosser, said testing was occurring at a later age.

However, while there has been a decrease in young drivers obtaining a licence since 2011 in the Greater Melbourne area, there have been increases in rural areas overall, with the exception of regional centres.

“What is clear from our research is that there is a great disparity between metropolitan and re-
