Cocky wants a ...

By Wendy Williamson Cocky by name and cocky by nature - persistent pests of the feathered variety are wreaking havoc in Healesville and surrounds.

From decks and trims to railings and furniture, few timber structures are immune to the ravages of these vandals of the sky.

When the Mail asked readers if their woodwork had been under attack the responses, just like the cockatoos, came in thick and fast.

"Yes! They've absolutely trashed our timber outdoor setting and the outdoor stairs, the cedar cabinetry on the spa, deck handrails etc," Elissa Stillman said on the Mail Facebook page.

"Absolutely," said Lauren Gordon. "Our new spotted gum deck, handrails, outdoor setting - they're destroyed."

Sue Bleumink lamented that the birds had ruined her freshly-painted railing and posts and destroyed the cedar around her spa.

A Healesville Sanctuary spokesperson said cockatoos were a highly-intelligent species that had adapted well to living alongside humans.

"They will seek out suitable food sources across a range of habitats, which sometimes includes residential areas and they absolutely love to chew - chewing also helps to maintain their beaks," they said.

"Unfortunately, cockatoos cannot tell the difference between a piece of timber and a tree.

"Common building materials, such as cedar, are quite soft and present an enjoyable treat for cockatoos.

"They are not conscious of the damage they may be causing to property."

That is no comfort to houseproud homeowners dismayed to see great flocks of birds laying waste to their prized woodwork.

Chum Creek resident Arina Gotts favours electric fencing - sufficient to give the mildest of shocks - as a cheap and easy solution.

"Or you can use a water pistol to give them a fright," she said.

A quick spray is one of the deterrents suggested by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

Other recommendations include refraining

Eddie Christie on his cocky-damaged veranda. He has tacked slabs of treated pine on the railing (right) to try to protect it from the birds.

Picture: WENDY WILLIAMSON from feeding them; making a scarecrow that looks like a bird of prey; stringing fishing line over the area to make it hard for the birds to land; hanging netting over the affected area; and using taped alarm calls or a motion-activated alarm.

The recommendations also included painting timber white, as the birds would not like it but that, Eddie Christie said, was not the case.

Mr Christie thought he had done everything to keep marauding flocks away from his beau-

tiful new Healesville home. He was wrong.

"I couldn't believe they could do that much damage," he told the Mail, pointing out a succession of gouges in the timber railing and hardwood posts of his verandah.

Not even the hard blackbutt of the baseboard was too much for the cocky beaks.

"It's absolutely devastating," Mr Christie said of all the damage.

He has thrown away his outdoor setting, which had five coats of marine varnish.

YARRA RANGES

Still the cockies tore it to pieces.

To prevent another onslaught, he has tacked slabs of treated pine to his railing. Fishing line attached to stainless steel pegs hums when the wind blows, which seems to deter the birds.

These are makeshift solutions. Perhaps someone has the definitive answer to beaked vandals.

Eddie Christie, for one, would love to know.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

Covering the foothills of the Yarra Ranges & Murrindindi Shires

The editor’s desk We're more connected as a community than ever before thanks to social media.

But as much as Facebook, Instagram and the like are bringing us together, the technology is also incredibly divisive.

The Mail team heard about cockatoos causing chaos in the Healesville and surrounds but hadn't pinned down a name to contact.

So we turned to Facebook and reached out to our readers.

We were inundated with responses and have been able to capture a true snapshot of the issue, in the hopes of drawing attention to it and, ultimately, drawing solutions.

But for every positive social media experience there seems to be a negative.

Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame, even if it's at the expense of others.

Keyboard warriors smash out their thoughts from behind a screen and send them out into the world, seemingly without any thought for the impact those words might have on those who read them.

It's easier than ever before to share our opinions - however ill-informed they might be.

We can complain directly to the source of our grievances and can make a mountain out of a molehill with minimal effort.

We can stir up a host of trouble for our target, then shut down the computer and give it no further mind.

The ripple effect can be great, from hurt feelings to damaged reputations, and worse.

The keyboard seems to instil a power in people that's absent in-person.

The online space would retain its value and force for good if only we kept listening to that angel on our shoulder that pipes up in real-world interactions.

THE SWING MAN COMES TO THE MONTROSE TOWN CENTRE WIN TICKETS! Renowned character actor, stand-up comedian and three-time Barry Award nominee, Damian Callinan, returns with a new show about taking (mid)life by the horns.

Damian's 12th solo show 'Swing Man' debuted as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2016 and he is praised as one of Australia's best character comedians.

He set himself one goal to achieve before he turned 50: learn to swing dance!

Result: he owns professional dance shoes but he still can't swing dance.

As far as unfulfilled life goals go, it's no modern-day tragedy, but when you selectively narrow your life goals down to one thing and you don't do it, it's time for revision.

What else has Damo left off his list of goals? Can he meet his revised target of learning to swing dance by 51? Are his

dance shoes tax deductible?

The Mail News Group is offering two double tickets for Swing Man at the Montrose Town Centre on Thursday 9 August at 8pm.

IN BRIEF

Price wasn’t right

By Casey Neill The Healesville Green will soon be on the market.

On Friday 13 July, Yarra Ranges Council's environment and engineering director, Mark Varmalis, confirmed that the shire had declined to purchase the land at 13 Green Street, Healesville, from VicTrack.

The council had asked the State Government and VicTrack for a reduced rate after the Valuer General of Australia priced the site at $1.185 million.

Mr Varmalis said Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allen advised that this was not possible.

He said this was because government authorities must follow the rules set out in the Victorian Government Landholding Policy and Guidelines and Land Transaction Policy

and Guidelines, which dictate that a property must be sold with a value that fits the "highest and best use of the land".

"This 'highest and best use' responds to the site's potential to be re-zoned and developed for commercial purposes," Mr Varmalis said.

"VicTrack will now pursue selling the property through a public process.

"As a result of this process, council's lease on the land will be terminated in the near future."

In last week's Mountain Views Mail was a plea from Healesville resident Ray Donkin and Healesville Action Group (HAG) for the State Government to intervene and hand the land to Yarra Ranges Council.

"It's just a piece of paper to the government. The minister could pick up the phone in five minutes and say hand it back to the shire,"

Mr Donkin said.

"This land owes them nothing; if anything they (VicTrack) has benefited from the rent they have collected when there was a panel beating works on it. They have never had any costs involved in keeping this land."

He questioned whether Healesville needed any more shops or commercial space, but said the green space was an asset to the town.

Mr Donkin reiterated this question when told about the sale plan, and said it was of great value for picnickers and the Healesville's River Street Market.

Labor candidate for Eildon, Sally Brennan, pledged her full support to keep The Green green at the community market on Sunday 1 July.

Mr Donkin said he still hoped she could turn the situation around.

Gail takes next step as Labor candidate

By Casey Neill A Silvan mum, social worker and teacher has put her hand up for Evelyn.

Gail Ritchie is the Australian Labor Party (ALP) candidate for the seat, she officially announced at an event in Mount Evelyn on Sunday 15 July.

She'll run against Liberal candidate and Wandin mum Bridget Vallence after Liberal incumbent Christine Fyffe announced she would not contest the Saturday 24 November State Election.

Ms Ritchie said grew up in Gembrook and attended Monbulk College before going on to study social work and secondary teaching at Monash University.

"After completing my studies I returned to the hills area and we raised our children there," she said.

She has three boys - twins aged 19 and a 22-year-old.

Ms Ritchie worked in the welfare field for about 30 years, and in teaching on and off.

"I did a lot of work with young people," she said.

"I've got a passion for giving young people the best chance we can.

"I think getting young people involved in the community is really important."

Her own children played football, swam and played basketball.

"I think that we've always tried to be involved in the community," she said.

"This seemed like the next step."

She said she'd learnt not to just stand back and think someone else would do it.

"I feel like I've been very privileged," she said.

"I was the first one in my family to go to university.

"That was a really big change in my life.

"I think for a lot of young people out here it's hard to get that."

Labor's Evelyn candidate Gail Ritchie.

Ms Ritchie said she'd been pleased to see Box Hill TAFE open on the former Swinburne campus, but would continue to advocate for positive education outcomes in the region.

She also highlighted level crossing removals in Mooroolbark and Lilydale during the next term as a key project for the area.

She said engineering works for the project

Lilydale Police are looking for the owners of property that was in a timber tool tray that literally fell off the back of a white utility at the intersection of Maroondah Hwy and Manchester Road in Chirnside Park on Thursday afternoon, 12 July. The items possibly belong to someone in the building/plastering trade.

Contact Senior Constable Argus on 9739 2300.

Quarry gets 24/7 approval Boral Quarries' Coldstream quarry has been given the go ahead for a new stockpile location and 24/7 operation for use of the stockpiles.

The application for creation of a new stockpile area on the northern boundary of the site at 527-529 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream and part of 110 Quarry Road, Lilydale, was heard by Yarra Ranges Council at its 10 July meeting after being called in by the ward councillor, Cr Tim Heenan.

The proposal would see relocation of the existing stockpiles from within the quarry pit to the new area.

Ten objections related primarily to 24 hour access to the site, intensification of the existing quarry, dust and air emissions and traffic and visual impacts.

The Council heard that the proposal would see an average of 17 vehicle movements per hour during the day and three during the night.

Cr Heenan said a number of objections had been dealt with through consultation and at council level through conditions on the permit.

"Yes, this is an extractive use and there were concerns and maybe still are some concerns out there in the community," he said of the Boral application.

"I am not concerned," he said.

He said council had a very tight commitment that vehicles would not be travelling in or out of Quarry Road and said he believed it ticked the boxes in engaging with and meeting the community's needs.

A spokesman for Boral said the application was the result of three years of work, reaching out to the community and consulting to be sure of what the issues were.

He said the application related to establishing a safe working environment around the stock fill and 24-hour operation to cater for infrastructure projects around Victoria.

"It is not anticipated it will run 24 hours all the time but it means we can supply to our quarries in a timely way.

He said there had been robust discussion during consultation meetings and that the company believed the measures put in place would enable them to manage issues such as noise and dust and added that there were a number of conditions on the permit.

"We think we can satisfy those conditions and subject to addressing them, we can work within the realms of those conditions," he said.

When you adopt a friend Animal

aid Mark Menze Animal Aid CEO At any given time we are likely to have five to 10 dogs available for adoption.

These are, in many ways, already success stories.

Every dog that is available for adoption has already received so much care, training and medical support from our phenomenal staff and volunteers.

We would love to take this opportunity to explain some of the steps that we take before any dog is ready for a new home.

Every dog comes to us for a different reason, most though have been found roaming and brought into our care.

When a lost dog comes to us there is a window of eight days in which we try to find their family.

In this time we make calls, send letters and use social media to make contact.

If for whatever reason the dog is not reclaimed, it then becomes our responsibility to get that dog ready for adoption.

This is when the largest part of or role begins.

There is quite a process that takes place behind the scenes which will ensure that each dog goes to the best possible home.

Once the dog is ours to rehome we want to learn as much as we can about them; we want to get to know them and have a thorough understanding of their needs.

How do they respond to cats, other dogs and kids? How much exercise do they need?

Do they have dietary requirements?

We have a terrific team of experts that can help with behavioural issues and our vet clinic will assess and treat the dog.

This process can take quite some time - with daily training sessions, vet checks (often multiple are required involving expensive scans).

Unfortunately, in some cases serious health or behavioural issues will make it impossible for Animal Aid to rehome an animal, these decisions are always made from a position of compassion and never convenience.

If you have been thinking about bringing a dog into your home please consider adoption, they will thank you every day and repay you with so much love.

Library on Tuesday 24 July from 2pm to 4pm will be about the services available in the local community.

Burn-off law looms

By Kath Gannaway A new Open Air Burning Local Law for Yarra Ranges moved a step further at the 10 July council meeting with a majority of councillors endorsing the recommendations proposed by the Special Committee tasked with updating the law The draft which went out for public comment in April drew 210 submissions, followed by a meeting on 20 June at which 43 submitters who opted to speak had the opportunity to represent their views in person to the councillors.

Controlling burning-off for fire prevention on private land while protecting air quality for residents and visitors required ’careful balance’, the report by the Director of Social & Economic Development said.

The majority of the submissions were from rural and bushland landowners calling for fewer restrictions.

The proposition that fires should be extinguished at 6pm, and the ban on June/July burn-offs drew substantial opposition, as did a proposed new law which would prohibit landowners from reducing fuel on roadsides adjoining their properties.

A proposal to restrict the volume of a burnoff to 1 square metre, and not burn where wind speed was greater than 10 km/hr were in a majority of cases seen as impractical.

Constant adult supervision of fires by an adult, a requirement to register a burn with the CFA two days prior, and to notify neighbours 24 hours ahead was also seen by many as impractical.

A submission by Agribusiness Yarra Valley addressed all of the above issues calling for restriction on burning between 8am and 6pm to be omitted.

Numerous submitters pointed out that extinguishing a fire at 6pm could waste water

resources, make lighting up again the next day difficult and create more smoke.

A Yellingbo resident who identified as Captain of the local fire brigade called for the existing law to stay.

“With most cases in Yellingbo the safest time to be burning is in the evening,” he wrote.

“Sundays should be included for burning to ensure residents have time to complete fuel reduction burns as the cost of green waste disposal and transport is not an option.”

A Woori Yallock submitter highlighted the problems faced by working families.

“Working five to six days a week, we continue to struggle to find the appropriate time outside of fire danger periods, not on a Sunday, when the wind speeds are low enough, not during June/July, when fuel is not wet and due to cause excessive smoke, in which to burn the large amount of green matter and fuel that the property generates,” she wrote.

An Olinda submitter who also identified as a former CFA volunteer said the proposed

burn-off days were too restrictive, but called for more enforcement of rules relating to pile size, burning of green or damp material and during windy weather.

“Every year I witness burn piles ready to burn left over into the summer danger period because people have not had enough opportunity to burn such piles. These all add to the summer bushfire risk,” he wrote.

He said most offensive were burning of leaves from deciduous trees which could be composted, mulched, or where safe left to nourish the trees they came from.

A Mount Evelyn submitter called for Mt Evelyn, in the bushland area, called for open air burning to be banned, in line with Lilydale and Mooroolbark.

Garden fires produce a lot of drifting smoke, they said. “This is done at any time they wish.

We are both asthmatics and this drifting smoke affects our health.”

The 210 submissions and responses are detailed in the minutes of the June 20 meeting: The Special Committee resolved to submit the officer responses to the submissions to Council at its 24 July meeting as preliminary recommendations.

Those recommendations included removing the June/July restriction for rural areas and removing time limits, fire size limits and the need for adult attendance, along with raising the wind speed limit to 19kph.

Moving the motion on 10 July, Cr Tim Heenan said Council was pleased to hear from Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley residents and that council officers had taken on board some of their concerns.

Cr Clarke however opposed the motion saying he did not support submissions that called for non-attendance at burn-off sites or unlimited stockpile size.

Driver’s excuse was ‘snow’ use A speeding Don Valley driver allegedly told police he was rushing to a friend's place to plan a snow trip.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers allegedly detected the vehicle travelling at 132kilometres an hour in a 60 zone on Don Road, Don Valley, about 9.15pm on Tuesday 10 July.

They intercepted the car and impounded it for 28 days.

The 42-year-old behind the wheel was unlicensed and allegedly tested positive to methamphetamine.

The Don Valley man is expected to be charged on summons with drug driving, speeding and unlicensed driving.

The Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol intercept the driver.

LETTERS More on that elephant My letter published on Tuesday 10 July headed "Elephant in the room" needs explanation!

My letter was cut short, leaving the actual reason for the letter out.

The elephant in the room is Edgewater Spa Resort, the proposed $35 million resort that has been on the council table for nearly 20 years.

This project has left the most unsightly mess in the centre of our town.

This project could actually benefit Warburton, it would have its own infrastructure in regard to tourists such as parking and other facilities.

It promised employment to local people and increased profits for our struggling traders.

Blame has been given to anyone and everyone in regard to this disaster, but the ultimate solution and action remains with our elected council, the Shire of Yarra Ranges.

They are to blame at the end of the day for leaving the Warburton Community holding the bag.

Sue Slusarek, Warburton.

CARTOON tion aspect which has seen revegetation works at "Haining" since the late 1970s; work that was commenced during Sir John's lifetime.

I don't recall any public outcry about this, or about the removal from the farm of the pigs, sheep and poultry; indeed, the concern about the farm only appears to have begun with the removal of grazing licences held by members of YWG. Are the 'senior, respected serving CFA captains' referred to prepared to openly disagree with the CFA on the fire risk assessment?

Or are they, in fact, the ex-captains that Mr Houlihan had a meeting with as confirmed within working group emails?

They weren't party to the presentations by Kevin Tolhurst and Justin Leonard so, with respect, how could they be making informed comment on them?

Ms Hotton is entitled to her opinion; however, she was not a member of the working group and should not, therefore, make statements as though she were.

Kate Warne, Don Valley.

Membership on the record In response to Sue Hotton's letter 'Horner gets the nod' ('Mail' 3 July), I feel that it would have helped if my previous letter had been published in its entirety and not had the following omitted: "Mr Houlihan was included solely as the representative of Yarra Waterways Group; this is recorded in the meeting notes, and reiterated

by Mr Houlihan himself."

He was there to represent the interests of YWG above all other considerations.

I was not 'wrong' as Ms Hotton declares, I was stating the known facts about the members of the working group and the inclusion of Ms Wilson (which Ms Hotton confirms) - an inclusion that I did not oppose; however, Ms Hotton's assertion that I did not declare my membership of the friends group is blatantly false.

My membership was declared and is a matter of public record.

Unlike every other member of the working group I was actually at the official handover of Haining Farm; contrary to refusing to acknowledge the terms of the gift I insisted that the full intent be recognised - including the conserva-

Danny Zemp's take on a Don Valley motorist's excuse for speeding.

Unfinished business

By Derek Schlennstedt

By Kath Gannaway Warm Up Ya Wiggle and Boogie for Bali is a fabulous invitation in the middle of winter, but there’s a whole lot more behind it.

Friends Liz Cadzow and Miranda Wills are part of a group of Healesville women heading for Bali on an annual retreat organised by movement therapist Michelle Redman.

Michelle puts together the retreats which Liz said takes participants on a wonderful, mindful journey through Yin Yoga, Qi gong and meditation.

“In addition to this, her philosophy is to give back to the community that the retreat is held in,” Liz said.

Participants are asked to raise funds for the communities in which the retreats are held and this year the money will be donated through the Gaia Foundation to support two Balinese schools The Tejakula Scholarship Program will help students from poor families continue their education, providing greater potential to go on to further study while Kutuh School will receive assistance with nutritious foods.

“We receive so much when go to these third world countries and I believe we should be giving back to the communities we visit,” Michelle said.

Over the past four years the retreats have raised over $30,000 supporting clean water for villages, building a house, building wheel chairs for landmine survivors and putting money into schools.

“The focus this time on keeping girls in schools. We stay a week, we don’t get overly involved, the communities direct us,” she said.

Liz and Miranda’s Warm Up Ya Wiggle and Boogie for Bali is part of the 2018 fundraising effort and a fun way that the wider community can help achieve those goals.

There will be some great bluesy grooves from local band The Dustmen and tunes to get you moving on the dance floor from DJ Lex on Dex.

Jason Wood will no longer represent the area he grew up in following the Australian Electoral Commission’s decision to redraw the electoral boundaries.

Under the new boundaries, adopted on Friday 13 July, the Casey electorate, represented by Liberal member Tony Smith, will shift further south-west and snap up La Trobe’s hills-based communities, effectively aligning Casey’s boundaries with the local government area of Yarra Ranges.

While La Trobe will lose major townships including Belgrave, Olinda, Kilsyth ,Upper Ferntree Gully, Menzies Creek and Sassafras, incumbent MP Jason Wood will gain Pakenham and nearby satellite towns.

Traditionally, Casey is a safe Liberal stronghold, while La Trobe is marginal, with Jason Wood claiming a narrow victory from Labor’s Simon Curtis in the 2016 election.

The redistribution was required to allow space for Victoria’s new seat, Fraser.

The La Trobe electorate is projected to have 116,587 voters by August next year, which exceeds the maximum number permitted by the Electoral Act. Despite the changes, Mr Wood reassured residents that although they would no longer be voting for him, he would continue to campaign for a number of major projects that he wanted to see finished.

One of those projects was the widening and improvement of the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road.

“My parting gesture is regarding the Mount

Dandong Tourist Road,” Mr Wood said.

“This is the last opportunity where you’ll ever see a federal government putting $20 million on the table to make something fantastic for local residents, making it safe for them to drive, and making it wider so local residents and cyclists can use it.

“Quite simply we just need commitment from the State Government for matching funding.”

In May 2016, the Federal Government committed $10 million towards upgrading the road and recently in a letter to for Monbulk MP James Merlino, the Federal Government specified that it would consider providing an additional funding of another $10 million - subject to a matching contribution from the State Government.

“We have so many cyclists using tourists using the road it’s becoming dangerous on weekends,” Mr Wood said.

Mr Merlino said that the work, which included assessing the entire length of Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, needed closer investigation.

“The works are likely to have significant environmental impacts and the community deserves to have its say and be aware of this before any decision is made to proceed or not," he said.

Reflecting on 14 years of representing and campaigning in the electorate of La Trobe, Mr Wood said it was a magnificent place to work and he had no doubt that Mr Smith would continue to support the current hills projects.

In pursuit of noble aims

By Kath Gannaway At 18 Isaiah Firebrace is well on the way to fulfilling two ambitions.

As an X-Factor winner who performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017, supported Jessica Mauboy on her Australian tour, released a debut single that charted all over the world and is recognised as one of Australia's most successful artists, his dream of a successful international music career is on a massively positive trajectory.

His warm and genuine connection with members of the HICSA (Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association) Youth Group, at a workshop leading up to his concert at The Memo on Wednesday, 11 July, and the intelligent questions that showed an interest in his life as an Indigenous young achiever, showed that his ambition to be a role model for Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people is also on a massively positive trajectory.

The workshops are important to him.

One of 12 children, Isaiah's father is a Yorta Yorta man and his mother a Gunditjmara woman.

Growing up in Moama on the Murray River he says he had opportunities in a supportive community.

His upbringing was more urban that that of a traditional remote community, but he says culture was strong.

"The Aboriginal Co-op and the Moama Aboriginal Land Council were always putting on events and at school there were a lot of opportunities for Aboriginal students which I was part of and loved doing," he said.

Isaiah said the mix of Indigenous and nonIndigenous people provided a good upbringing where there was plenty of encouragement for Indigenous kids to be involved in their culture.

"It was just awesome to connect with your own people. It was a grounding thing, and something for the soul and to connect with them and learn about your culture.

Members of the HICSA Youth Group and families posed for a group photo with the young star. 182932 "For me, just being around people of colour, who share the same personalities as me, the same humour, it was awesome to know I had an Indigenous community I could really connect with."

His message to Healesville's Indigenous young people was to get involved in their culture, but it was also a message for all young people.

"Indigenous, or anyone, people should get involved in their community. You make friends," he said.

Isaiah played football with the local juniors and loved running and sprinting with the athletics club, but at 13 he says he knew music was what he wanted to do.

To follow your passion, whatever that is, is the message he hopes will resonate.

"That's the whole point of why I like doing these workshops," he said.

"It's not just about music, it's about any passion you have and that you can never be too young, or not good enough, to do what you want in life.

"Everyone needs someone to look up to, some sort of role model. I feel if I get to be that one day, that would be amazing."

Marysville Primary School students are in for a breakfast treat when they return to school after the holidays.

Vegemite and honey is being added to the Breakfast Club menu to make the most important meal of the day even more yummy!

Marysville students are among students from 500 schools who last term marked a healthy milestone with 5 million breakfasts served since the School Breakfast Club program commenced in 2016.

The Victorian Government funded program is delivered in partnership with Foodbank Victoria.

"We have about 20 to 30 students attend Breakfast Club every Thursday morning," said Principal Leigh Woods.

Mr Woods said their community volunteers Ruth and Conrad Haliburton have been with the program for 5 years and enjoy spending time with the students and staying connected within the school community.

"At the end of every term Ruth makes home-made pancakes for our students and staff which is very much appreciated," Mr Woods said.

Each term, Foodbank delivers the healthy breakfast menu of Victorian-manufactured oats, Vita Brits, wholegrain Cheerios, muesli, UHT milk, baked beans, fresh apples, canned fruit, and fruit cups ... and now, Vegemite and honey!

Minister for Education James Merlino said School Breakfast Clubs which serve up 50,000 breakfasts every week were a simple way to support learning.

"We know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially in setting up students to concentrate, learn and be at their best while at school," he said.

"One in seven children arrive at school with an empty stomach and our School Breakfast Clubs mean these students no longer go hungry and can now get the most out of their education."

Foodbank Victoria CEO Dave McNamara said the clubs were also providing a great informal learning environment for students.

"Students are developing leadership skills.

They're developing confidence and expanding their social skills by interacting with volunteers - who are positive role models - as well as older and younger students. They're learning valuable life skills," he said.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… Triple-zero hero

Watch and wait

With three people involved in an altercation in a fast food car park in Lilydale, it could have been a case of "where are the police when you need them?!"

As it turned out, they were closer than you'd think.

As our reporter was putting in a call to triple-zero on Tuesday 10 July, almost like magic a police officer flashed his badge.

It turned out one of the three in the mix was an off-duty Lilydale officer who'd intervened to separate the other two and diffuse the situation.

Within five or so minutes of the call to triple-zero, a divvy van with two more Lilydale officers was on the scene.

Following a couple of emails in response to our quest to find a fob watch's owner in last week's edition, the Mail uncovered further engraving on the gold pocket watch.

There is one name engraved on the casing, and it appears to have been presented as a gift from work colleagues at Henry Berry and Co back in 1919.

If these details ring a bell, please contact editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au.

Forget 'the dog ate my homework ... ' Local wildlife don't often become an excuse for tardiness, but one of the Mail reporters lay the blame for their late arrival squarely on Skippy's shoulders on Friday 13 July.

They were driving to the office when they approached a stopped car with hazard lights on, and saw a kangaroo bouncing up the road.

The roo was shortly followed by the car's driver, chasing it up the road on foot to ensure its safety.

While they were doing their best to shepherd the roo off the main road and to freedom, a small traffic jam began to build and a number of other people took to the road to help.

Finally after a number of minutes and a number of metres, the roo was able to escape down a side lane, hopefully to a far better place than on a main road.

Whoops!

In our story about mates uniting for the Lilydale High School fire anniversary, we said the 26 November event in Yering would be held at 2am. Of course that should have read 2pm.

Rory's absence extended Upwey-Tecoma Football Netball Club took to Facebook after former Tiger Rory Sloan announced he'd re-signed with AFL club Adelaide for five more years.

"It is with a heavy heart we must inform you that we lost out in the race to secure out-ofcontract free agent Rory Sloane for the 2019 season," the tongue-in-cheek post read.

"In all seriousness, it's great to see how much Rory is loved by his teammates and his.

"And clearly, in signing for five more years, the club means a lot to him as well."

Hopefully he'll someday be back in the hills playing in the yellow and black.

Election campaign energy A Liberal campaign manager came up with a novel way to raise funds for the party's Monbulk candidate ahead of November's State Election.

"From today Dan Andrews will give you $50 if you register on the government energy saver website," they wrote in a Facebook post.

"To combat this blatant attempt at electoral bribery, I will register, then donate the $50 to my local Liberal campaign in Monbulk.

"I recommend everyone does likewise, but if you live in a safe seat, direct the money to a key marginal campaign like Monbulk."

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Isaiah Firebrace, 18. Australian Indigenous singer.

Winner of X Factor Australia in 2016.

What is something people generally don’t know about you?

I’m a bit of a dare-devil type; bit of a thrillseeker. One day I want to go to New Zealand where they have a lot of the big thrill experiences and do something like that.

What is one of your most memorable moments?

Winning X Factor has been my most memorable thing so far, but even little things that have happened along the way mean so much to me as well.

THREE … tips to stay safe this winter

1

Consumer Affairs Victoria recommends people carefully check that electric blankets, hot water bottles and other winter items are in good condition and have not been recalled. Take note of Energy Safe Victoria's information for Vulcan or Pyrox Heritage gas heater owners. These need to have carbon monoxide levels tested.

2

Use hot tap water and not boiling water to fill hot water bottles and replace them when they start to look cracked or worn. Only buy wheat bags or other heat packs that come with clear heating instructions. Overheating a wheat bag can cause the bag to ignite and start a fire.

3

Candles should be extinguished when leaving the room or before going to sleep, says Consumer Affairs Victoria, and should be kept away from curtains, bedding and clothing.

What would your final meal be?

That’s a hard one ... pepperoni pizza.

What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?

My family - mum, dad and brothers and sisters.

What was the first, or the best film, you’ve seen?

The first movie I ever saw I’m pretty sure would have been Winnie The Pooh. I remember watching it in my bedroom on the VCR. What are you working on right now?

I’m just working on original content ... original music. I have a new single waiting to be released written and produced by Los Angelesbased production team - a family of the dad and two sons, really nice people.

It’s quite nerve wracking because you’re never sure how well it’s going to go but because you love it so much you want it to do well.

I’m also working on a new set of songs, a new show that I’m performing tonight (Wednesday at The Memo) with my band and music director.

What keeps your passion for your music alive?

Whenever I feel unmotivated about anything I’m doing I always remember why I first started and remember myself a few years back dreaming of being where I am today.

TAX TIME

The five common mistakes

mailcommunity.com.au

De Gr aaf legal Electronic Lodgements of Tax Returns Basic Tax Returns

$110 INC. GST

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has identified the five most common mistakes made by taxpayers.

"We know some people lodge early because they want their refund, and that's fair enough.

But we amend returns for thousands of taxpayers that leave out some of their income.

This can delay your refund or even see you owing money to the ATO. If you wait until midAugust, we will have pre-filled most of your income information for you, to help you get it right to start with."

Pre-fill is available whether you choose to lodge online with myTax, or with a registered tax agent.

For those intending to push the boundaries, or perhaps fudge some parts of their return, the ATO has you in its sights.

"We are increasing our investment in education and assistance, as well as reviews and audits. This year we are expecting to make contact with more than one million taxpayers either directly or through their agents," Ms Anderson said.

Finally, if you make a mistake, don't panic.

"We know people sometimes make mistakes or forget to include something on their return. If you're in that situation, try to fix it as soon as you can to minimise any interest and penalties. Either contact your agent or lodge an amendment online.

"Remember: Whether you use a tax agent or lodge it yourself, you are responsible for the claims you make. Take the time to check your deductions are legitimate and you have listed all your income before lodging."

As tax time 2018 kicks off the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has profiled the five most common mistakes and the personalities most likely to have tax time troubles.

Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said it's often simple mistakes and misunderstandings that trip people up.

"While we know most people want to get it right, our audits and reviews show that there are five main areas where taxpayers are most likely to get it wrong."

The top five mistakes include taxpayers who leave out some of their income, claim deductions for personal expenses, forget to keep receipts or records of their expenses, claim for something they never paid for and claim personal expenses for rental properties.

Ms Anderson says many of the mistakes are avoidable and there are a few things taxpayers can do to make sure their tax time experience is stress-free.

"Know what you can legitimately claim.

There are three golden rules for work-related expenses. You must have spent the money yourself and not have been reimbursed, it must be directly related to earning your income, and you must have a record to prove it," Ms Anderson said.

"This tax time we will be paying close attention to claims for private expenses like home to work travel, plain clothes, and private phone calls. We will also be paying attention to people who are claiming standard deductions for expenses they never paid for."

Tax can sometimes be tricky, but it's not tricky to keep good records.

"Around half of the adjustments we make are because the taxpayer had no records, or they were poor quality. Yet it's so easy to keep your records, using the myDeductions tool in the ATO app. Just take a photo, record a few details and then at the end of the year upload the information to your agent or to myTax." Another tip is to include all your income.

"A temp job, cash jobs, capital gains on cryptocurrency, or money earned from the sharing economy is all income that must be declared. We are constantly improving our data matching tools and even a one-off payment may be enough to raise a red flag.

ENTERTAINMENT

Cosy idea hits the spot

Festival of Light event organiser Beth Williams.

By Kath Gannaway After a number of years hosting the Biggest Morning Tea to raise funds for cancer research, Lorraine Dunbar felt she needed a change.

"It came out of the blue. I woke up one morning with the idea to have a tea cosy competition," she explained.

"I just thought, that's a good idea," and with the Tea Cosy Exhibition and Competition now in its fifth year at Warratina Lavender Farm in Wandin, it's certainly turned out to be an excellent idea!

Lorraine is a keen knitter, and although she had never knitted a tea cosy, she had lots of crafty friends more than willing to put their hands and minds to creating quirky, pretty, cute, functional, themed and some quite strange tea cosies.

Annemarie Manders from the Lavender Farm didn't hesitate to provide a home for the competition and the rest is a cosy little bit of history, as they say!

Lorraine said whatever was needed, the answer was always 'yes'.

"People just joined in; they just helped. It seemed like it was being scripted from above," she said reflecting on the reason she is so passionate about supporting cancer research - the loss of a husband and daughter to cancer.

So making tea cosies is one thing - and entries come in from overseas and around Australia for the competition - but who buys them?

According to Lorraine, lots of people and all sorts of people.

Lanterns to light Yarra Glen

By Wendy Williamson Val Sykes and Kaye Coles cosy up at Warratina.

Essentially the job of the tea cosy is to keep the tea pot nice and hot, but it's the fantastic variety and the fabulous makers that make the exhibition such a success and such fun.

The core group of around a dozen ladies meets every week.

"They're just lovely, caring people with positive attitudes who just want to do stuff," Lorraine says.

"There's a buzz in the shed, a beautiful, happy noise that's really amazing."

Others, including local Country Women's Association members have come on board with a range of handmade items which are sold in the gift shed, adding a bit of variety.

The 5th Annual Tea Cosy and Exhibition is open until 22 July, between 10am and 4pm.

Entry by gold coin donation.

Warratina Lavender Farm is at 105 Quayle Road, Wandin Yallock. Phone 5964 4650.

A lantern making workshop on Saturday 21 July will set the spark for the annual Yarra Glen Festival of Light.

Community members are invited to come along to the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall between 1pm and 3.30pm and make their own lanterns for the upcoming festival.

This year's Yarra Glen Festival of Light will take place on Saturday 18 August.

The festival will see the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall transformed by a 'Light Room' installation.

All are welcome to go to the hall between 4.30and 5.30pm, bring their own lantern and contribute to the installation.

Each lantern will be given an LED light ahead of 'Lights Out' at 6pm when everyone can enjoy the display.

The Yarra Glen Football and Netball Club will provide a food stall, and from 8pm to 9pm the hall will be turned over to teenagers to enjoy psychedelic and trance music.

Festival of Light organiser Beth Williams started the event with some friends a few years

ago to celebrate the end of winter being in sight and to promote community spirit.

"We saw it as a beautiful opportunity to create something sacred and magical and very personal for our community," Ms Williams said.

"We love it when the older community members, mums and dads and tiny children come and make lanterns at our annual workshops."

Ms Williams said the festival, which is supported by Yarra Ranges Council's Grants for Community, is about bringing the community together and what people most enjoy is the spiritual element the festival offers.

"This year we don't have much in the way of funds available, so the Council's support is really amazing," she said.

Applications for the 2019 Grants for Community round close on 12 August.

In Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs, an outbreak of dog-flu sweeps the Megasaki Prefecture of near-future Japan, causing Mayor Kobayashi (voiced by Kunichi Nomura) to banish all of the region's dogs to a garbage dump island. Six months later, Kobayashi's nephew Atari (Koyu Rankin) journeys to the island to search for his lost dog Spots.

On its surface, Isle of Dogs is a fun, touching adventure about personal growth. Chief (Bryan Cranston), an embittered stray dog, reluctantly helps Atari in his quest to find his dog, and during their trek across the island, Chief discovers unknown depths of affection and responsibility within himself.

The stop-motion animation (which Anderson previously employed in his 2009 film The Fantastic Mr Fox) is remarkably detailed and

expressive, with some extraordinary attention to lighting and several energetic action-comedy sequences.

Endearing and visually vibrant, Isle of Dogs nevertheless has some problematic cultural elements.

The entire Japanese setting feels redundant. Much of the film takes place on the derelict, otherworldly title island, and any depictions of mainland Japan are a mishmash of basic cultural references, delivered with clear admiration but no subtlety.

For that matter, it feels disingenuous for Anderson to have ostensibly set his film in Japan but cast its most prominent (dog) characters with English-speaking actors, and for the Japanese dog-lover resistance to be spearheaded by a white American student (Greta Gerwig).

Isle of Dogs is a visually stunning, gratifying character drama muddied by some misguided cultural appropriation.

A companion dog for Rhys

By Derek Schlennstedt Glen and Krystal Barnett's 5-year-old son Rhys is growing up with autism and an anxiety disorder.

This means Rhys can become overwhelmed by noise and movement of highly stimulating environments like shopping centres, and when Rhys struggles to regulate his anxiety, he runs or has a tantrum.

While both Rhys and his family have learned to cope with many things, the family is now raising money so that Rhys can have his own therapy dog to help him through his daily struggles.

"It's a constant mental battle for all of us, we're always thinking about Rhys and what are the triggers," Mr Barnett said.

For the Barnett's a simple dash to the supermarket can result in a breakdown.

"It would appear to the untrained eye like a spoiled brat having a temper tantrum ... sounds and bright lights are all big triggers for him," said Mr Barnett.

"Rhys was diagnosed with autism when he was almost three-years-old and we've essentially been hermititzed; we've really had to close ourselves off, because it is such a stressful lifestyle."

To help ease that stress and help Rhys with his daily internal challenges, the family have decided to fundraise for a companion dog to help ease Rhys's anxiety and sensory overload.

"Essentially they're like a guide dog in that they are trained to do specific tasks," Mr Barnett said.

"In this case Rhys has autism, but he also has anxiety disorder, so the dogs are trained to literally sniff that.

"The dogs can tell us whether Rhys is struggling by nudging us and they'll be a companion like a friend, but there's no pressure there ... even just by putting their head on his lap helps with emotional regulation."

But, Companion dogs don't come cheap, and

The Barnett family are organising a concert to raise money for a support dog, which help their son Rhys who has autism cope with his daily challenges. at $9,000 the family have decided to fundraise by holding a performance called 'What would love do,' which 'shines a light' on what autism is.

Concentrating on the motto 'different not less,' the concert has a strong focus on Autism and removing the social stigma attached to it.

Mr Barnett said it wasn't unusual to receive judgemental comments or looks from people when Rhys was having a meltdown in a public space.

"We've got 22 singers and six in a band and they're all donating their time," Mr Barnett said.

"All of the songs we've tried to pick are kind of leaning toward being your own person and saying it's okay to be different.

"Just raising awareness about what autism is and what is isn't and showing that you don't have to do things the normal way to succeed."

With all funds going towards raising money for the companion dog, The Barnett's said that

Clubs saving young lives

By Casey Neill The Healesville and Monbulk junior footy clubs are putting youth suicide prevention in the spotlight.

With its final home game for the season, Healesville Junior Football Club will raise funds for Preventing Suicide in Youth (PSY) and In2Life at Queens Park Oval on Sunday 29 July.

Players will wear arm bands in tribute to the thousands of young people who've taken their own lives, and they'd receive an address from In2Life volunteers.

HJFC committee member Neil Milton is also the founder of Positive T Shirts.

"It's a brand that I started two years ago and I give all profits to preventing youth suicide," he said.

"I witnessed someone end their life when I was about 20.

"I wanted to really make a difference."

During a committee meeting conversation about holding a match in support of a charity, youth suicide came up.

"The Yarra Valley is renowned for youth suicide," he said.

"I suggested the organisation that I give to were making remarkable inroads in preventing youth suicide through Facebook.

"People post in and they say 'I'm struggling'.

"There's volunteers from a company called In2Life trained in youth suicide first aid."

Mr Milton said donations paid to train new volunteers.

"All of the profits from the game are going to this organisation," he said.

"We decided to do something as a club for this last home game to make a difference in people's lives."

Players Alex, Oscar, Gabriel, Pat and Seb. 182858 HJFC president Toby Millman said that aside from the fund-raising, the day was about awareness.

"We want to do whatever we can to support it in the community," he said.

"If it helps one kid we've done a good job."

The day will feature eight matches and activities to raise cash.

Monbulk Junior Football Club president Ken Beecroft said the club's participation sent

Picture: ROB CAREW a good message to kids across Monbulk and beyond.

"We're really passionate about football being a really big part of our community and setting really good standards for our community," he said.

"It's really important that our club, which is a bit part of our community, continues to fly messages like this.

"These are really important conversations for parents to have with their kids."

Following a series of youth suicides, 18-year-olds Thom Hartland and Jessica Cummings established the Facebook page Coming Together To Prevent Youth Suicide.

In 2 Life provides support and guidance to this peer support service.

For support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Kids Help Line on 1800 55 1800, Suicide Callback Service on 1300 659 467 or emergency services on triple-zero.

Quality courts completed

Spencely made it look easy

By Wendy Williamson

Par is not everyone's favourite game but when you're playing well it seems easy.

Warburton Golf Club's Simon Spencely must have felt it was a walk in the park when he "streeted" the field with +5 off a handicap of 23 on Wednesday 11 July.

The runner-up on a countback was Tony Bickley on -1 off a handicap of 8.

Ball run went down to -2.

Nearest the pins were Ian Kempton on the third, Allan Hubbard on the ninth (hardly a week goes by without Allan appearing somewhere on the nearest the pin competition) and Tony Bickley for his second shot on the tenth.

The Saturday 14 July event was a Monthly Medal held over from last week when atrocious conditions made the course virtually unplayable.

New multipurpose sporting court projects at Coldstream and Yarra Junction are now complete.

An official community opening of the Coldstream courts will take place at Halley Supple Reserve at 5.30pm on Wednesday 18 July.

Yarra Rangers Councillor Fiona McAllister and Federal Member for Casey Tony Smith MP will do the honours.

At Coldstream four clay tennis courts have been converted to one netball court and one multipurpose court for tennis and netball.

Courts of concrete with acrylic coating have replaced tennis courts of red porous material.

The completed project includes two netball courts, two tennis courts (with the ability to add another two courts), LED lighting to

Coldstream Social and Sporting Club Committee member Paul Payne and Coldstream Football Netball Club and Coldstream Netball Club member Narelle Collette. meet Tennis and Netball Australian Standards, fencing, landscaping, a car park upgrade and drainage improvements.

Yarra Ranges Council provided $354,455 to the Coldstream and Yarra Junction projects.

Stroke is probably the purest form of the game.

This month's winner was David Scott off a handicap of 30 with a gross score of 95, nett 65.

The runner-up was Lance Atwell with a gross 91 nett 67.

Winner of A-grade was Clint Toohey with a gross 80 nett 68.

The best gross score of the day went to Andy Williams with 69.

Ball run went down to 71.

The nearest the pins were Shane Campbell on the third, Sean Kennedy on the fifth, David Hatt on the ninth and Paul Mason on the twelfth.

Special mention goes to Hatty for his holein-one on the ninth, which makes it three at the club in the last few weeks and gives Hatty the prize of the Eagle's Nest.

Cross country champions decided at Morrison Reserve Yarra Ranges Athletics, Croydon Little Athletics and Cockatoo Little Athletics club athletes competed around sunny Morrison Reserve parklands for the title of 2018 cross country champion.

Some outstanding races in all distances were a highlight of the day.

SPORT

Anyone could win it, really

By Cameron Hutchison Round 12 saw Division 2 on show as Division 1 had a bye.

The sun was shining at most venues and the fog hit Yea. There were some interesting results which have now left the competition wide open with only six rounds left.

Division 2 Seniors Football Seville 21.19.145 d Yarra Glen 8.11.59 Seville are now outright ladder-leaders after a dominating performance over Yarra Glen.

Seville kicked with the advantage of the breeze in the first and made the most of it, kicking 7.5 to 1.1.

Yarra Glen could not get their hands on the ball at all in the first quarter.

In the second you would have thought the game might have changed, but Seville were on a roll and kicked another 5.3 to 1.4 to have a huge lead of 63 points at half time.

Seville continued with the momentum and increased their lead to 73 points at three quarter time.

Yarra Glen put up a small comeback in the last kicking 3.3 but it was Seville's day with a huge 86-point win and a hold of top spot.

Seville best: M. Cecere (3 goals), J. Cecere (3 goals), J. Fraser (6 goals), P. Bailey, D. Broadway (3 goals), N. O'Keefe (2 goals).

Yarra Glen best: A. Smith, C. Tait (1 goal), W. Goodwin, J. Schille (2 goals), R. Smith, J. Donald.

Alexandra 18.6.114 d Powelltown 8.1.49 Alexandra have now kicked clear of Powelltown and sit sixth on the ladder just one win out of fourth spot. Alexandra got off to a good start, kicking 6.3 to one straight and had Powelltown chasing its tail all day.

The second quarter was even, with both sides kicking 3 goals but Alexandra still had control. A 4-goal to 2 third quarter extended the lead to 46 points as they turned for home.

Alexandra were clean with the footy and did not waste any opportunities in front of goal in the last kicking 5.1 to 2 goals to keep their finals hopes alive.

Alexandra best: C. McKay, S. Steiner (1 goal), M. Steiner (3 goals), C. Heaslip, M. Whitbourn, B. Norris (6 goals). Powelltown best: S. Halliday, J. Garthwaite, B. Traynor (1 goal), M. McArthur (1 goal), L. Middlemast, J. Iacono.

Gembrook Cockatoo 24.18.162 d Kinglake 14.5.89 Gembrook share fourth spot but are fifth on percentage and are one win ahead of Alexandra in sixth spot after a good win over Kinglake.

Kinglake got the early break, kicking 6.3 to 3.5 and went into the second quarter with a 16-point lead. Gembrook had a 37-point turnaround in the second quarter.

The momentum was certainly in Gembrook's favour as they piled on another 6.4 to 4 goals to go into the last with a very comfortable lead.

They turned up the burners in the last, kicking 8.6 to 3 goals to make the win even sweeter.

Gembrook Cockatoo best: D. Volta, D. McPherson (2 goals), T. Lockyer (5 goals), J. Van Der Zwart (1 goal), L. Failla (5 goals), T. Whytcross.

Kinglake best: J. Butterworth, M. McAllister, J. Hamilton (2 goals), J. Nixon (4 goals), M. Newton, J. Crowe (1 goal).

Yarra Junction 13.13.91 d Yea 10.7.67 Yarra Junction are outright third on the ladder after a good win over fourth-placed Yea. The first quarter was a cracker, with both sides kicking 4.3 and it was start all over again in the second.

Yarra Junction got the jump and kicked 6.5 to 2 goals to set up a half-time lead of 29 points.

The last quarter was a grind with neither side getting any breaks but Yarra Junction had done enough early to get the win.

Yarra Junction best: T. Wheeler (5 goals), D. Brookes, C. Hoare (1 goal), P. Cubbin, J. Welch, L. Hoffman.

Yea best: R. Aldous (1 goal), H. Jarvie, A. McCarthy (1 goal), A. Walsh, B. Clements, J. Carroll (2 goals).

Under-18s Football Gembrook Cockatoo 13.5.83 d Upwey Tecoma 11.6.72 Gembrook Cockatoo are sitting third with Upwey in sixth after they got home in a tight one by 11 points. Gembrook had the slimmest of advantages at quarter time by just 2 points.

They kicked away in the third with 4 goals to one and the margin was now looking out of Upwey's reach.

Upwey played a different brand of footy in the fourth and kicked 4.1 to 1 goal but they left their run too late and Gembrook got away with the win.

Gembrook Cockatoo best: J. Tilly (5 goals), S. Lamble, A. Firrito (2 goals), M. Watson, L. Ramage (1 goal), M. Van Schilt.

Upwey Tecoma best: A. Grenda (9 goals), B. Burrows, R. Cheslett, A. Bartils (1 goal), K. Weiser, K. Bell.

Division 2 A-Grade Netball Kinglake 98 d Gembrook Cockatoo 10 Kinglake shares top spot with Yea but are second on percentage after another win on Saturday.

They started the game off well, shooting 23 goals to 2 and were never in doubt from there on.

Another solid performance in the second half as they were consistent with their goal shooting in the last two quarters and deserve their spot on the ladder.

Kinglake best: Taryn Jennings, Alice Waack, Monique Nagle (46 goals).

Gembrook Cockatoo best: Jemah McInerney, Michelle Skilton, Lainey Williams.

Yea 72 d Yarra Junction 33 Yarra Junction have a firm hold on fourth spot while Yea are still sitting top of the ladder.

Yea got a handy start, shooting 19 goals to 8 in the first and it was going to need to be an

inspirational effort form Yarra Junction from here if they hoped to get a win.

A 21 goals to 8 second quarter by Yea was now going to make it extremely difficult.

Yea maintained the pressure in the third and their lead was 35 goals at three quarter time. The last quarter was a bit tighter but Yea were always in control.

Yea best: Melissa Martinov (51 goals), Megan Leatham, Samantha Coppinger.

Yarra Junction best: Mia Motteram, Courtney Lever, Amelia Rose Michelle (11 goals).

Powelltown 59 d Alexandra 48 Powelltown shares fifth spot with Yarra Glen who sit in sixth after their win over Alexandra by 11 goals.

The first quarter was a goal feast, with Alexandra holding a slim lead by one goal at quarter time. They took some control in the third and shot 15 goals to 9 to extend their lead to 10 goals at three quarter time which was going to make it tough for Alexandra.

The last quarter was the same as the first, no one could get the advantage.

Powelltown best: Olivia Caneva (35 goals), Nicole Hajder (24 goals) Jacqueline Darwall.

Alexandra best: Olivia Twining, Lauren Steyger (27 goals), Louise Chapple (21 goals).

Seville 52 d Yarra Glen 27 Seville is one game clear in third after a good win over Yarra Glen who now sits equal fifth on the ladder with Powelltown but is sixth on percentage. The first quarter was tight but Seville had the advantage of 2 goals at quarter time.

They certainly maintained that control in the third, shooting 14 goals to 7, and continued that in the last, coming away with a 25goal win at the final siren.

Seville best: Paige Stanley (19 goals), Carly McDonnell (33 goals), Mandy Bell.

Yarra Glen best: Stacey Gilder, Nicole Moate (11 goals), Prue Purdey.

MOTORING

Custom-built for the road Halen Vans are builders of fully custom-built off-road caravans in Lilydale.

The company was established in 2011 when Jason Francis, after many years in the industry, together with two other partners, decided to go out on his own.

Jason, a mad Van Halen fan, decided that as a tribute to his idols the company name would have to be Halen Vans.

All Halen Vans are custom-built.

Halen Vans works with its customer to come up with a design that suits their individual needs and customers are fully involved with the build process.

From when the chassis arrives, customers go in and speak to qualified cabinet makers about their design needs and cabinetry is made to suit.

All vans are fully off-road with choices of independent trailing arm or air bag s suspension, the latter being popular due the fact that you can level the van from left to right and up and down with the flick of a switch.

They are fully self-sufficient with solar panels and the choice of either lead crystal or lithium batteries.

Last year, Jason and his wife Bec took their van with four of their customers vans and did the Tanami Track, a heavily corrugated track between Alice Springs, NT, and Halls Creek, WA. The vans handled the conditions beautifully and also had the convenience of being able to use all their appliances including the airconditioner without being plugged into power or using a generator.

The vans were equipped with solar panels and inverters to utilise the sun's energy to charge the batteries, therefore power was not an issue.

Halen Vans also does all servicing and repairs of all makes and models of vans.

For anyone who needs an upgrade or has damaged their van, Halen Vans is happy to help out with a quotation or suggestions.

The company has also fitted out numerous horse floats and trucks.

Call on 9738 7133 or visit Halen Vans at 42 Industrial Park Drive, Lilydale.

The vans are customised for each customer.

Each van is custom-built.

A Halen Van on the road.

Winter adventure awaits with a vanguard of cosiness To help warm the van, travellers should park in the sun as long as possible during the day and draw the curtains just before sunset.

They should lay additional rubber matting on their groundsheet to keep the cold off their feet.

Caravaners should check that all tyres, including spares, have the right tread levels and pressure for driving on wet or icy roads.

Those heading to cold country should add anti-freeze to their radiator, wrap external pipes in insulation to prevent any freezing or damage from cracking, and make sure their gas supply is topped up as they'll use more during cold weather due to heating requirements.

It's worth investing in walls for awnings for

protection from wind and cold weather.

This also adds a layer of insulation to the side where the awning is attached.

Travellers should consider draught skirts for underneath the van to reduce the impact of wind and rain.

For safe caravanning, VicRoads recommends checking that coupling and safety chains are in good condition; brakes and external lights are working; wheels, bearings, tyres and suspension are in good condition; and tyres are of the same construction on all wheels and have a tread depth of 1.6 millimetres or more.

VicRoads said it was also a good idea to have a mechanic regularly service the caravan.

Travellers should also check that their car has enough power to tow the caravan; is regularly serviced and is in good mechanical condition; has good rear vision when the caravan is attached; and has the correct towbar for the type and weight of the caravan.

VicRoads advises that towing decreases acceleration and braking ability and drivers should be aware of this, especially when approaching corners.

They should leave more space than usual between them and the vehicle in front, and allow extra time and space if they are turning into traffic.

Reversing with a caravan is difficult, so drivers should practise reversing in a safe environment with someone to guide them.

1187559-RC24-15

A little maintenance is key before leaving for a winter caravan adventure.

The RACQ advises to check all seals, doors and windows to make sure the van is watertight and draught-proof.

Caravan owners could even invest in insulation if their van doesn't already have it installed in the roof, floor and walls.

Travellers should hang winter-weight curtains on the windows and place a 'draught snake' at the door.

Switching to winter blankets, doonas and sheets, and even adding a woollen underlay to the mattress can make a big difference.

The RACQ advises placing thick rugs on the floor if the van isn't carpeted.

ALL REVVED UP

Winter car maintenance There are many simple things drivers can do yourself to prepare their cars for winter. Here are a few suggestions from RAA's Technical Advisory Service.

Look after the battery: If drivers take time to care for their batteries, they should be able to avoid a breakdown.

Top up batteries with distilled water regularly, so the cells don't dry out. Remember don't use tap water!

Any corrosion, which looks like white or green fungus, around the terminals should be wiped away. If it's too thick to be removed easily, use bicarbonate of soda. Make a paste of this by adding some water, then brush it onto the terminals and rinse off with hot water.

Tyre pressure: All tyres, including the spare, should be inflated to the correct pressure. Incorrectly inflated tyres limit a car's braking efficiency and its overall handling.

Tyre safety: On wet, slippery roads, tyres are especially important for keeping passengers safe. Drivers must have a minimum of 2mm of tread over the entire tread area (which is roughly equal to the depth on a match head).

Windscreen: Keep windscreens clean during the cooler weather. Dirt on the windscreen can limit visibility when driving towards a low sun. For maximum visibility, windows should be cleaned regularly with either a chamois or a sheet of newspaper with methylated spirits.

Windscreen wipers: Once the winter rains begin, it's important wipers are up to the job. If they are perished or cracked they'll be unable to wipe the glass effectively, causing streaks, smearing and loss of visibility. Replace the wiper rubbers when the blades fail to wipe clean the windshield or 'chatter' across the glass.

Garage cars if possible: Try to park vehicles under cover at night and avoid parking cars

There are many simple things drivers can do yourself to prepare their cars for winter. on the lawn overnight as damp rising from the lawn condenses on engine and ignition parts leading to current leakage. Condensation forming on the underside of the bonnet can

lead to rust development.

Lights and gauges: Check that all lights are working - including indicators. Make sure indicator gauges are working properly.

Service cars regularly: Ensure vehicles are running as they should by having it serviced professionally at regular intervals.
