Former AFL star Stephen Milne is pulling on the boots for Woori Yallock.

The St Kilda Football Club Hall of Fame member will trade red, white and black for black and yellow on Saturday 6 July.

The one-off game against Wandin is a move the 39-year-old and Woori Yallock hope will bring in some much-needed funds for the club.

Milne told the Mail met a Woori Yallock Football Netball Club member at an interleague match and over a few post-match beers said he’d be happy to help out.

He retired from local footy last year but said his body was holding up OK. “And I want to give something back to the community,” he said.

“I’ve done seven or eight over last three or four years.

“I’ll train with the boys on the Thursday night before the match.

“I’m looking forward to getting out there, getting a few kicks and hopefully getting the crowds in.”

The 275 AFL game goal sneak recently played similar matches in Perth and Lower Plenty, so is feeling match-fit.

“It takes a lot longer to recover,” he said.

“I can’t do I like I did many years ago, week in week out.

“I still stay fit - relatively. It’s a bit harder with work and kids.

He said he still enjoyed the competitive spirit of playing AFL, getting out there and meeting new guys, the footy club atmosphere and a bit of banter.

Milne was renowned for revving up the Saints cheer squad during his playing days and said he’d do his best to get the Woori crowd firing.

“If I kick a couple of snags I’ll try and get them up and about,” he said.

He might have to don his trademark long-

LETTERS How to fix a botched project For years I've been grappling with the Shire of Yarra Ranges over the ridiculous Warburton Mountain Bike Project.

How hard can it be, to design a bicycle plan that doesn't unfairly impact the locals?

So at the start of this year I set out to design a better version of the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Project, just to see if it could be done.

In particular, I wanted to see if I could eliminate the horrible problems that this project created for myself and the other residents of Old Warburton.

I was shocked at how easy it was.My new plan not only eliminated most of the problems of the residents but dramatically improved the riding experience!

It also provided more employment opportunities for locals and made the trails easier to administer.

Among other improvements, my plan reduced the bushfire risk but, unfortunately, could not eliminate it. Increased bushfire risk still remains the single biggest threat generated by this project.

When I finished assembling my maps and written instructions I began to wonder if the council should see it.

I arranged a meeting with a team of council officers led by Matt Harrington, to show them my improvements.

We met at Old Warburton on Monday 18 April.

They seemed surprised and interested.

They seemed to respect the input of a person who had nearly 50 years of accumulated knowledge of the area.

They seemed to like many of the proposed improvements.

They expressed an interest in taking my plan away with them.

I expressed a desire to talk to their architects in conjunction with representatives of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).

Will anything come from our meeting?

Grants for roads Our group has been named SCS Launching Place Primary School by our local council after submitting a petition over two and a half years ago.

Our main aim is to seal a section of roads creating infrastructure, proper drainage and slowing down the through traffic by adding speed humps.

This very short section of roads in question are Ruthven Street, Wellman Street and Grieve

Street of about 450 metres heading from Gembrook-Launching Place Road up to Launching Place Primary School.

With the through traffic and urban growth upon us, we as a community need to act, because you cannot put a price on family safety.

A grant has been put forward by our federal member and now our council have these funds - $150 million (over 10 years - Editor) has been allocated for the sealing of unmade roads in the areas close to schools.

This money will help develop our community and create a safe and positive environment.

As these roads stand at the moment are unsafe, gutters are continuously blocked, pot holes

Swenrick

and narrow sections with some drops of threefoot into gutter traps for our children that walk or ride bikes or parents pushing prams and for the vehicles traveling at alarming speeds with little care for their surroundings.

I am very concerned there's an accident waiting to happen.

With 179 families attending the school and all others that use these roads we have a strong voice for action.

Through this scheme we can achieve our goals of creating a safe environment for all to use.

IN BRIEF

Aerobics teams to represent Victoria

By Jed Lanyon Launching Place Primary School will once again be flying several aerobics teams to Queensland to represent Victoria at the Schoolaerobics National Championships in August.

The school had four teams and a solo performer earn qualifications for the eleventh consecutive year.

One grade six team has now made it to nationals for all of the four years they have been eligible to compete.

Aerobics captain Chelsea said she enjoys the aspect of teamwork in aerobics.

"We have done this since grade three and we've made it to nationals every year.

"We are all just really grateful for our coaches putting in the effort for us.

"Now that I'm in grade six and I have had so many practices and stretches ... Ms Nyman has made all of us really flexible and has us so much stronger."

Amarli, who is also an aerobics captain said, "I get really nervous and then when you get on there and start performing, but you feel a lot better because you know that you do it all the time so you get use to it."

Art and PE teacher Candice Nyman has organised the Launching Place aerobics program since 2008.

She said that every team that qualified to compete at the state finals in June had been invited to compete again at the nationals later this year.

"It's become a bit of a culture at the school, even the little preps and grade one and twos are wishing to aerobics when they are older.

"It's developed a lot. When we first started

Hunt for vandals Police have released images of three men they want to speak to following vandalism at a Healesville car wash.

Officers said vandals smashed vending machines at the Hunter Street car wash between 1am and 2am on Friday 21 June, causing $1000 in damage.

Call Leading Senior Constable Swankie at the Healesville Police Station on 5962 4422 with any information.

Three times over A driver has lost his licensed for 12 months after he allegedly blew three times over the legal blood alcohol limit in Wesburn.

Police said they intercepted the driver on Railway Road on 29 June and he returned a breath test reading of 0.160.

The aerobics team spends every recess and lunch break training to compete.

School principle Narelle Messerle said that students start the program at the end of year two onwards.

"We are very inclusive of kids with disabilities being part of the program too."

One grade four student, Angus, doesn't let his amputated leg stop him from performing with the use of his prosthetic leg.

Angus will be doing a solo performance as well as a team performance at this year's national championships.

New sign honours George Ingram

By Jed Lanyon If you're heading through Seville along the Warburton Highway anytime soon you may notice a new sign recognising the town as the childhood home of Victoria Cross (VC) recipient George Ingram.

Mount Evelyn RSL member Kim Parry was responsible for the work put into the sign and was inspired after seeing similar signs honouring VC recipients across Victoria.

The sign was created to have the same colour of the ribbon of the Victoria Cross.

The new sign comes a month after the unveiling of the first panel of the Seville War Memorial, which honours Ingram.

The Seville War Memorial Committee raised $110,000 to construct the foundation and framework of the memorial and to put the first glass panel in place.

A silver Toyota collided with two legally parked vehicles on Dorset Road in Croydon about 7.20pm on 29 June, causing significant damage to all three vehicles.

Police said the driver of the Toyota failed to stop at the scene, near Lincoln Road, and continued driving south on Dorset Road for several hundred metres.

Concerned and alert members of the public later observed the damaged Toyota stopped near Lindisfarne Road and waited with the driver until police arrived.

A 27-year-old man is expected to be charged on summons with careless driving, failing to stop after a collision and refusing to undergo a preliminary breath test (PBT).

Upon conviction, the penalty for refusing a PBT is a minimum two-year loss of licence and a possible fine or imprisonment.

Anyone who witnessed the collision, has dash cam footage of the event or saw the damaged Toyota driving on Dorset Road should call Senior Constable McGregor at Maroondah Highway Patrol on 9881 7900.

Farm burglary

The sign sits beside the Warburton Highway coming in to Seville.

When completed, the memorial is designed to carry four panels to honour Seville residents who served for Australia.

Casey MP Tony Smith announced $75,000 in funding to complete the remaining three panels of the war memorial.

Thieves forced their way into a Yellingbo farm warehouse and stole up to $8000 in tools.

Yarra Ranges CIU Detectives are investigating the incident, which occurred at the Healesville-Kooweerup Road site at 1.35am on Sunday 23 June.

The thieves left with a Holden Statesman and tools valued between $5000 and $8000.

Police are reviewing CCTV footage.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

This is untrue - your pet's metabolism may change slightly, yet it is over feeding and lack of exercise that contribute to weight gain, not desexing.

Push is on for climate emergency

Wildlife in fight against extinction Healesville Sanctuary will play a key role in a new plan to save threatened species from extinction.

Zoos Victoria released the Wildlife Conservation Master Plan on Thursday 27 June and Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D'Ambrosio announced $3 million to kick start the five-year project.

The document highlights exactly what it will take to stop wildlife extinction.

It details the financial commitment, resources and collaboration required.

In a race against time, Zoos Victoria has added a further six local threatened native species on the brink of extinction to its priority list, and a further eight species to its watch list.

Combined community conservation and international wildlife projects will cost about $80 million.

Zoos Victoria CEO Dr Jenny Gray said the master plan was a sum of all the experience gathered in the 10 years since a team of zoo scientists recorded the sound of extinction the final call of the last Christmas Island pipistrelle bat.

"This plan combines all of our conservation work with species both locally and globally," she said.

"It brings together our expertise in animal science and social science, which we hope will continue to inspire the community to commit to wildlife-friendly behaviours."

Dr Gray said there had been many successes worth celebrating but the next five years were critical.

"Habitat loss and climate change are two of the most pressing threats affecting wildlife globally," she said.

"Even the loss of one species to extinction could throw the entire ecosystem out of balance and have catastrophic flow-on effects.

"In the past five years, working together, we have truly made a difference for local and international species - from cracking the code of breeding the critically endangered baw baw frog, to celebrating the first ever zoo birth of a guthega skink, and nearing the threshold of recovery success for the eastern barred bandicoot on mainland Victoria.

"Imagine what we can do in the next five years."

She said the plan was Zoos Victoria's line in the sand.

"No local threatened native species will become extinct on our watch," she said.

Hairdressers closes after 35 years

By Jed Lanyon Marisa Spataro has given her final haircut on Saturday 29 June, having retired and moved on from Reflex Hair Studio.

If you were wondering just how long Ms Spataro had been in the hairdressing business, she named her store after the recent hit The Reflex by Duran Duran, which topped the charts in 1984.

"I was 21 and I loved that band and I've still got that song on vinyl," she said.

In some cases, Ms Spataro has cut the hair of up to four different generations of a single family over 35 years.

"You really feel appreciated when people bring their children and their grandchildren or when they recommend you to other people.

"When I came here it was antique shop ...

I gave myself 12 months, I thought if I'm not busy I'll just pack up my bags and go.

"It just took off. The town pretty much embraced me and I was really lucky.

"The people here are lovely. You walk down the street and everybody knows you and everyone's friendly.

"It's just been a beautiful town to work in."

Ms Spataro said that the hair styles have changed quite a lot over the years and that the job is a lot easier these days.

"They've changed heaps. I loved the mullet because that was from my era ... Hairdressing was a lot harder once but now because of the styling and equipment we have, it works a lot easier now.

Ms Spataro gave an insight on the relationship between a hairdresser and a client.

"Some people have been coming through that door and I don't know them any better

"And then other people invite you over for coffee or dinners and will tell you everything about their family."

She said that another hairdresser will be taking over the first floor of the studio and that

the second floor will be used as an Airbnb for tourists.

Ms Spataro said that she appreciates the support of the Healesville community over the years and that she plans to spend some time down at the beach at Mount Martha.

Environmental groups in the Yarra Ranges are pushing for council to declare a climate emergency.

The Hills and the Yarra Valley Community for Climate Action are new groups concerned with the impacts of climate change and are aiming to make a positive contribution starting at a local level.

Member of the Hills Community for Climate Action Ciaran McCormack said that he wants to see Yarra Ranges Council and Melbourne City Council follow the lead of City of Sydney, who recently declared a climate emergency on 24 June.

"The explosion in community activity is because since the federal election, communities are concerned that the federal government is going to sit on its hands for another three years, in terms of energy and climate," McCormack said.

"It's a powerful piece of symbolism acknowledging that climate change is urgent and needs to be addressed immediately.

"It would commit council to things like setting an ambitious net zero emissions target, ideally by 2030 for its own operations.

"It would send an emphatic message to our community and local businesses that climate change is a top priority and it (council) wants to work with the community to address it."

McCormack said that since the City of Darebin declared a climate emergency in 2016, the movement has gone global with 594 jurisdictions in 13 countries following suit. Last week Yarra Ranges Council passed a motion to create a report to evaluate their Adapting to a Changing Climate and Energy Future plan.

"We acknowledge that council has had this and other useful initiatives over the last few years but this motion didn't go nearly far enough," McCormack said "Last week's council motion stated it wants 'a range of actions council could take ... in partnership with the community', Hills Community for Climate Action would be happy to partner with council on this as would similar groups like Yarra Valley Community for Climate Action."

Speaking at the 25 June council meeting, Mayor Tony Stevenson said that council was on track to meet emissions targets for 2020.

"We've been so busy saving energy and reducing emission levels that we haven't actually got back to reporting," Mr Stevenson said.

"We're almost there, so it is time to think about recapping what we've achieved and to have council staff be briefing us on what more can be achieved."

"I look forward to seeing what comes from that report."

Yarra Valley Community for Climate Action created a survey to hear community ideas on the issue. To take part in the survey, visit: https://bit.ly/2XcrpQT

Art for equality celebrated A new art project will celebrate the Aboriginal women who shaped the Yarra Ranges community.

Balit Bagurrk: Strong Aboriginal Women of the Yarra Ranges was among seven projects to share more than $630,000 in VicHealth funding.

The cash came from the health promotion foundation's Gender Equality and the Arts grants.

Yarra Ranges Council will partner with Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA), Wandoon Estate, Tarrawarra Museum of Art, Wurundjeri Land Council, Cultural Development Network and Worowa Aboriginal College on the project.

Together they'll find, explore, celebrate and

share the stories of Aboriginal women who have shaped the Yarra Ranges community in the past, their descendants, and women leaders in the contemporary Aboriginal community.

Minister for Women Gabrielle Williams said the grants program would harness the transformative power of the arts to push for real change on gender equality.

"We want every Victorian to enjoy the benefits of good health and wellbeing, and their gender should never be a barrier to that," she said.

"However, we know that women are more likely than men to experience family violence and abuse at the hands of their partner, which can have an enormous toll on their physical

and mental health.

"This initiative will see councils partnering with cutting-edge female artists to deliver exciting new art and theatre works which give voice to local women and girls' experiences and push for change."

VicHealth Acting CEO Dr Lyn Roberts said it was important that women were empowered to have a voice and claim their space in the community.

"Since the #MeToo movement we've seen an outpouring of anger and grief from women who've experienced sexism, harassment and violence at the hands of men," she said.

"We've also seen immense courage and optimism from many women pushing to change things for the better."

Dr Roberts said one way of changing things was to provide greater information, knowledge and skills for the public about why gender equality in the community was good for everyone.

"Art enables people to walk in the shoes of others, it validates the experiences of people who might not have been heard or who have been marginalised," she said.

"These projects will provide an opportunity for councils to work with artists and local women to share their experiences and challenge the harmful attitudes and stereotypes about gender holding us back."

Respectful Relationships art show winners announced artists in front of more than 200 community members, and the winning artworks were on display throughout the night.

Eastern Health’s health promotion team has been working across the Yarra Valley to increase the capacity for all schools to encourage and promote respectful relationships.

By Jed Lanyon Eastern Health hosted a community forum at The Memo is Healesville on Raising Resilient Kids with the announcement of the winners of the Respectful Relationships Art Competition.

The winners included Ian Whitford of Steels Creek, Ashlyn Hermansen, Kobi Rostron and Talei Whiteside of Upper Yarra Secondary College, Archie Griffiths of Badger Creek Primary School and Meisha Lee-Hooper of Gladysdale Primary School.

Healesville Rotary Club contributed $1200 in prize money for the winners, who created art work that embodied healthy and respectful relationships.

Gets under the skin Parasite Starring Choi Woo-shik, Song Kang-ho and Park So-dam Rated MA15+ Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Parasite is a harrowing, darkly hilarious psychological thriller from South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho.

After gaining a prestigious English tutor job for the wealthy Park family, Kim Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) arranges for his entire impoverished family to work for them under fake identities, but their ruse quickly unravels in disturbing ways.

A searing satire of South Korea’s rigid social structure, Parasite starkly juxtaposes the money-grubbing industriousness of Ki-Woo’s family with the complacent vanity and casual thoughtlessness of the Park family.

This sets the stage for the film’s compelling anti-heroes: Ki-Woo’s family are richlycharacterised, clever, devoted to one another and stuck in a rut of poverty, but are deceptive and even ruthless in their manipulation of the Park family. The film derives intense suspense and macabre humour from their underhanded schemes and their scramble to keep up appearances. Meanwhile, class-based angst and a dark secret in the basement simmer under the surface, culminating in a gut-wrenching climax.

Parasite is a work of extraordinary atmosphere and tight plotting, with subtle hints and nuances paying off ingeniously later in the narrative.

Challenging our empathy at every turn, Parasite may be the most masterfully-directed film of the year so far, and is certainly the most provocative.

Budget is backed

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges councillors unanimously approved the proposed 2019-'20 budget at the Tuesday 25 June council meeting.

Under the approved budget Ryrie Ward ratepayers will face the biggest rates hike.

The state government capped the shire's average rate rise at 2.5 per cent.

But rates are based on property valuations, so some ratepayers will see higher increases while others will see a drop.

The average valuation in Ryrie increased 4.77 per cent, so rates in the likes of Healesville and Yarra Glen will increase an average 6.61 per cent.

Melba Ward valuations went backwards 3.66 per cent, so rates there will drop 1.64 per cent on average.

Chirnside and Walling rates will also drop.

The average residential valuation increased 0.48 per cent On farming properties, the average rate rise will be 4.61 per cent.

Commercial property rates will increase by 3.79 per cent across the shire and industrial

property rates are to rise 5.36 per cent.

The council approved spending $2.26 million on drainage and $3.69m on footpaths and cycle ways.

There's $16.64m allocated for parks and open space and $6.79m for recreational, leisure and community facilities.

Roads are set for a $10.89m boost and buildings $27.97m.

"The works being done this year on the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination, the Yarra Valley Trail and The RidgeWalk will be supported by the budget, drawing on local funding and federal and state grants," Mayor Tony Stevenson said.

"It's also important to highlight the breadth of the works we do and the projects that will make day-to-day life easier for our residents.

"In the hills, we have a number of drainage projects in places like Waratah Avenue in Belgrave, Kallista-Emerald Road and Portman Road in The Patch and Hume Lane in Mount Dandenong, among others areas, which we know are well-needed by residents."

The budget will allow the council to deliver more than 120 services.

It includes $3.9m for libraries, $1.6m for maternal and child health and immunisation services, $1.8m for maintaining aquatic facilities and more.

The council has worked to secure a lower energy rate and is switching to energy-efficient lamps in public lighting, to drive down energy costs and reduce environmental footprint.

Cr Stevenson said the council also negotiated a cheaper price for processing recyclables from kerbside collection so its waste charge would stay the same.

"Despite recent pressures on the recycling industry, no recyclables collected in Yarra Ranges will go to landfill," he said.

E-waste ban in place A ban on e-waste in household bins is now in place.

From 1 July the State Government will not allow any e-waste into landfill.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said that any object that could take a power source - from a battery to a cord - was classified as ewaste.

He said electronics around the home contained precious, non-renewable metals such as gold and platinum, along with mixed plastics and metal circuitry.

Cr Stevenson said this could all take on a new life if recycled.

"Some appliances can also contain toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury and arsenic," he said.

Coldstream Waste Transfer Station has a free e-waste drop-off point, thanks to funding from Sustainability Victoria.

Fees might apply at other waste transfer stations.

Seniors donate to help the homeless

By Jed Lanyon

Val Styles, Alison Gommers, Jenny Bartlett and Picture: ALI DARRINGTON John Butler. 195058

Healesville's probus and senior citizens clubs made a donation of $255 to Healesville Interchurch Community Care Inc (HICCI) on Tuesday 25 June.

Speaking at a presentation, president of the Healesville Ladies Probus Club Val Styles said, "On behalf of the two ladies probus clubs and the senior citizens, we'd like to present HICCI with this cheque.

"And I'm sure HICCI will be able to put it to great use."

HICCI executive office Alison Gommers was thankful for the generous donation.

HICCI aims to provide practical care and support to the community of Healesville and Yarra Glen in times of crisis, emergency or personal need.

"In the last month we've had so many more people come in," Ms Gommers said.

"We've had a couple hundred more requests for food and there are a lot more homeless people who are coming our way because of the cold weather.

"So we're trying to do our best to help them

and keep them as comfortable as possible."

Secretary of the Healesville Senior Citizens Club Ken Fewster explained that the money came as a result of a recent concert hosted at the club and from fundraisers from the two probus clubs.

"It was $255 left over, and probus groups aren't allowed to make profits so we decided to give it to HICCI, who do so much for the community."

The donation was made by the Healesville Senior Citizens Club, Healesville Ladies Probus Club and the Valley Ladies Probus Club.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN

Plenty to do at the zoo

Come and meet the meerkats at Mansfield Zoo.

MANSFIELD ZOO: White Lions

12408314-RA52-18

There's plenty to see and do at Mansfield Zoo, including meeting all of the animals or you can even camp overnight if you're game.

If you love animals and a fun family day out, Mansfield Zoo is the place to go.

The zoo features a large menagerie of native and animals from around the world including two rare white lions, two tawny lions, monkeys (capuchins, marmosets, rhesus and bonnet), deer, camels, bison, alligator, wombats and plenty more.

The Zoo Keeper feeding tour is a great time to be at Mansfield Zoo. The four lions are fed at 1.30pm each weekend and Victorian school and public holidays, followed by feeding of the Meerkat Mob. Take the opportunity to pat one of the friendly dingoes who walk around with a keeper while the lions are being fed.

You can also feed most the animals by hand every day while you wander the expansive grounds. A small spade is provided to feed the more gregarious animals, like the camels, who will run off with the spade if they can.

There are sambar, fallow deer and kangaroos roaming the grounds with you, along with guinea fowl and peacocks.

Overnight campers are welcome from September 1 to May 31 each season, but you do need to book a spot. Bring your own gear and set yourself up for a camping trip with a difference and take the opportunity to roam the zoo after hours.

The Mansfield Zoo is open every day from 10am to 6pm (10pm on N.Y.E.) and is closed on Christmas Day only.

More information is available on the website www.mansfieldzoo.com.au, Facebook page, facebook.com/mansfieldzoo, or calling the office on (03) 5777 3576.

Open Daily From 10am Lion feeding at 1.30pm every weekend and every Vic public/ school holiday, followed by feeding of the Meerkats!

Enquire for an unforgettable overnight camping experience.

LOOK AT THIS TRANSFORMATION THIS property was bought as a home that needed attention and a lot of hard work has been put in.

Being positioned on the high side of the road offers outstanding views of the surrounding mountains, the agent says, and it's close to transport, schools and Healesville’s bustling food and wine precinct.

Walking into the home, buyers will immediately notice the use of neutral colours and new plush carpets throughout.

The home consists of a spacious master bedroom with study nook and generouslysized built-in robe, plus the bonus of a

private deck to enjoy breakfast with a great view, the agent says.

It also has a light and bright bathroom, galley kitchen, and a generously-sized open plan living/dining area which provides access to the outdoor entertaining deck.

The home sits on about 434 square metres of landscaped gardens with a large planting of mature magnolias, plus car accommodation by way of a single carport.

This property offers a fantastic opportunity, the agent says, and would make a great B and B (subject to council approval). â—?

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Ali Darrington, Healesville High School work experience student

What is something people don’t know about you?

I play more than one instrument and I sing.

I play a little guitar, violin, keyboard and the saxophone.

I always try to practice my singing whenever I can. When my dad comes and picks me up as soon as I’m in the car I put the radio on and we sing to every country or rock and roll song we know.

I also used to help my dad out in the shed with our 1928 A-Model Ford Roadster.

What has been your most memorable moment?

When I was around five or six I used to want to play soccer. I had never watched soccer - I just wanted to play it and I’m not sure why. I can remember my dad chasing me around the yard while I kicked the ball everywhere thinking that was how you played soccer.

I now know that it’s not, but after a while I didn’t want to play anymore.

What would your final meal be?

Pancakes with Frootloops with a lot of fruit and chocolate. A LOT OF FRUIT! What event, past or present or future would you like to witness?

There is more than one event I would like to attend: Princess Diana’s death is a day I would like to have witnessed; the JFK assassination as well as the death of Marilyn Monroe; the hanging of Ned Kelly - and not just the hanging the whole lot; and Ted Bundy’s execution.

What is your favourite television show?

Friends. When I was around five or six I had a stay-at-home mum and my mum introduced me to the TV series.

What is your favourite book?

Last year in Year 9 I was reading a booked called Love, Simon and it’s about a guy coming out gay to his friends and family after being blackmailed. I loved the book so much

that I read the second one called Leah on the Offbeat, which is about one of his best friend’s coming out bisexual. Both are really amazing books.

What is something you are looking forward to in the future?

Hopefully becoming a journalist, moving out and becoming independent are the three things I’m most looking forward to in the future.

Why did you choose to do work experience with the mail?

I knew I wanted to do something that involved journalism and what better way to do so then to contact your local Mail? My dad’s friend suggested I try the Mail News Group and my mum mentioned it a few times so I thought ‘why not?’ I thought it would give a good insight on what it means to be a journalist and what I would need and not need in school and what skills I’d need to be on this career path.

Which object that you’ve lost do you wish you still had?

My Hoodlums beanie! When my dad moved from Healesville he put my beanie in a bag of hats and while I was up at his house on the weekend we couldn’t find the bag. No bag, no beanie.

What have you learnt about what it takes to be a journalist?

A lot! You have to have people skills and be friendly for when you go meet people and interview them. You have to have the confidence to just show up, ask questions and take a few photos and people don’t realise that takes a lot to do. At times you go on a touchy subject and kind of have to go with your gut on if it’s a good time or not and if it’s a good question or not.

Bloods’ breakthrough win

By Nick Creely It's been a tough start to life in AFL Outer East for Healesville, but there are always glimmers of hope, and Saturday provided its fans and footballers with one of those moments.

The previously winless Bloods - who sit bottom of the Premier Division - ladder, snatched an incredible victory from the jaws of defeat on the road against Upwey Tecoma, 10.11 (71) to 8.14 (62).

While the win will have no bearing on the race for finals, it was a win for all involved in the Bloods community.

The Bloods trailed for most of the day, with the Tigers always seemingly having the upper hand, but crucially the visitors stuck fat and entered the main break with a manageable 13-point deficit.

Fighting hard - and making life difficult for the home side - the Bloods just kept on ticking along, with Rodney Woodford (six goals) completely dominant as the game started to heat up and giving them a fighting chance of stealing the win in the final term after kicking three goals to one in the third.

With conditions less than favorable for free flowing footy, the Bloods - against the odds and with pressure to finally push for its first win of the season - surged home, kicking two unanswered goals in the final term to walk away nine-point winners.

Woodford was clearly best afield, snaring six goals in an indomitable display, while Nick Mende and Ash Hamer were superb.

Berwick, meanwhile, flexed its muscles when it mattered to run away with a dominant win against Wandin at home, 15.22 (122) to 5.6 (36).

Incredibly, the Dogs came out snarling, kicking five first quarter goals, opening up a 16-point lead on the dominant Wickers.

But that's where its competitiveness ended, with the Wickers holding the visitors goalless over the next three quarters, adding a further 13 themselves in a ruthless display in the rain.

Jordan and Madi Andrews were superb for the Wickers - particularly after the first break - while Travis Tuck and Dog Tom Hinds were influential.

In the round's remaining matches, a faststarting Beaconsfield were too good for an under-siege Cranbourne at Holm Park, 12.7 (79) to 4.6 (30), while Narre Warren held off a brave Olinda Ferny Creek, 13.20 (98) to 9.4 (58).

Woori Yallock had the bye.

In Division 1, yet another wayward performance from Monbulk was not enough to concede its first loss, with the Hawks holding on against Mount Evelyn to remain undefeated, 6.18 (54) to 6.8 (44).

The Hawks kicked 2.0 in the first term, and despite dominant large chunks of the game, kicked 4.18 for the remaining of the match and hold on despite the Rovers playing some

excellent football.

Pakenham also kept pace with the Hawks with an incredible come-from-behind win against Officer at Starling Road, 9.5 (59) to 6.10 (46).

The Lions - after being held scoreless in the first term - trailed by as much as 18 points early in the final term, but rattled home, with former Melbourne footballer Josh Tynan the man of the moment with two vital last term goals as the visitors surged past the Kangaroos.

In the remaining matches, Doveton was just a class above Warburton Millgrove, 12.18 (90) to 3.7 (25), while Emerald found some mo-

Stewart in a top day

Another win for Garside senior in great weather

By Karl Hradsky

By Ron Hottes

Craig Stewart (13) had a ripper of a day playing in the Healesville Social Golf Club (HSGC) monthly Trophy Day (stroke).

He won the day with a nett 64, scored two nearest the pins, had the longest drive and managed an eagle on the 15th par five.

The next closest player, Greg Urquhart (12), hit a nett 71 while Allan Litchfield (21) came third with a score of 72.

The other nearest the pins were hit by Karl Hradsky and Allan Litchfield.

Under cloudless skies, 30-plus Warburton Golf Club members enjoyed the greatly-improved conditions on Wednesday 26 June.

The course was still quite soft with very little run for this par contest.

This was evidenced by the scores, as the +1 that Phil Garside came in with won the daily voucher.

It was Phil's second win in a row, showing up his little brother.

The runner-up was the in-form Steuart Hawke with -1, meaning that Phil was the only player in the field to better his handicap.

It's no surprise then that the ball rundown reached -3.

The Garside brothers featured prominently among the nearest the pin winners.

Phil snared the ninth and Ian took out the 15th, but Craig Brown won the first with a su-

Division 2 saw Gembrook-Cockatoo's finals hopes take another hit, falling narrowly at home to ladder leaders Yarra Junction, 9.11 (65) to 7.11 (53).

The Brookers paid for its slow start, trailing by as much as 32-points at the major break, but fought back and got within two goals by the final siren.

Phillip Cubin was super for the Eagles in a best afield display, while former Kangaroo Michael Firrito had a major impact for the home side in the narrow loss.

perb second shot to about one metre.

In the Saturday 29 June stableford contest, the weather conditions were very different from the mid-week comp.

Regular showers, heavy conditions underfoot and soft greens created an extra challenge to scoring.

The player who best handled that scenario was young tyro, Liam Kay, with 41 impressive points.

Brendan Allan snapped up the runner-up prize with 37 points.

This was a good score by a new member to the course and the club.

Balls extended to 35.

There were only three nearest the pin winners, being Geoff Fall on the third, Lance Atwell on the fifth and Peter Bell on the ninth.

Both the 12th and the 15th proved too difficult for the whole field, in those conditions.

Mates played for Jai

By Casey Neill Hundreds turned out for an emotional tribute to a Mount Evelyn Junior Footballer who lost his life last year.

The under-16s from the Mount Evelyn and Wandin junior football clubs played for the Jai Reed Cup on Sunday 30 June.

Jai died from complications with epilepsy on 28 October last year so the match raised funds for the Epilepsy Foundation.

Mount Evelyn Junior Football Club president Anthony Burns said the club was still counting the proceeds.

"From midday, everyone that came through the gate we donated 100 per cent of the funds to epilepsy," he said.

Burns said the day was very emotional, with lots of hugs.

"I was really impressed with our community, with how many people were there," he said.

"They filled the hill, shoulder to shoulder."

The Rovers had a big win over an undermanned Wandin, 142 to 12.

Burns said coach Daniel Thiele presented Jai's number 11 guernsey to his grandfather, who in turn passed it onto Jai's younger brother Kayden.

"Kayden kicked a goal in one of the quarters, and every player on the ground got around him," Burns said.

Jai made a big impact on the club in two short seasons, described as a larrikin, charismatic and a really likeable kid.

His death rocked and then bonded Jai's teammates.

"I can see them in the change rooms before games, the tight bond that they've got now," Burns said.

"Just all of them are there to help each other."

The club hopes to make the match an annual tradition.

Mount Evelyn wins the inaugural Jai Reed Cup.

Kayden holds aloft the Jai Reed Cup.

Jai's brother Kayden vies for the ball.

Celebrating the past

By Nick Creely There was plenty of emotion at Holm Park on Saturday 22 June, whether it was in the stands or in the packed social rooms for the annual Past Players and Luncheon and inaugural Russell Rowe Shield, named after a legend of both the Woori Yallock and Beaconsfield football clubs.

While the two clubs battled it out in a thrilling clash in his honour that culminated in a narrow win to the Eagles, Rowe himself was reflecting on his football life upstairs overlooking the ground, and was full of emotion when describing just what the honour meant to him.

“I’ve had a great life in football," he said.

“But, I’ll be going for the Tigers today.”

Starring for Woori Yallock in its 1971, 1973 and 1974 premierships, as well as winning a best and fairest in 1975 along with a successful VFA stint with Caulfield, Rowe was recruited by Melbourne, famously kicking four goals among 25 possessions in his debut for the Demons against St Kilda in 1980, despite being of the belief that it was actually 27 possessions.

But in Round 9 against Richmond, Rowe got injured and featured only two more times that season.

“I pulled my thigh muscle, and the trainer who I was dealing with was called ‘Skull’, and he said ‘you can’t play for six, seven weeks’, and typically being pig-headed, I tried to play after about five, and wasn’t game enough to go back to the trainer because I actually pulled my thigh muscle again,” he said.

With a change of coach at the end of 1980, the legendary Ron Barassi replaced Carl Ditterich, and Rowe was of the belief that he would get another chance after a successful pre-season.

“I did all the pre-season, played all the practice matches, and thought I was doing

1999 Beaconsfield premiership coach and Woori Yallock champion Russell Rowe (pictured third from left) shared his footballing memories at the Past Players and Officials Luncheon on Saturday.

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS okay,” he said.

“In that last pre-season match against Richmond at Port Melbourne I was playing in the back pocket, and I’ll never forget this as long as I’ll live, Barassi comes up to me and says he’s got some bad news.

“I thought someone in my family had passed away, and he said ‘we’ve decided to go with youth, you’re 28 years of age, see you later’, and that was it.

“It was very disappointing, I then decided to go back and play with Caulfield, which was

probably the wrong move, before returning to Woori.”

Rowe - who eventually coached Beaconsfield to its drought-breaking 1999 senior premiership in the West Gippsland Football League after a stellar playing and coaching career with the Tigers - came to the Eagles after his son Joel joined the club, linking up with a prominent name in football in the south-east.

“Joel and I went for a run, it was on a Thursday or Tuesday night down at the old Beaconsfield ground, and we were watching training, and Doug Koop (current Officer coach) - obviously an ex-Melbourne player too - noticed I was watching, and that’s how I got involved,” he said.

He would go on to lead the Eagles to the ultimate glory in 1999 - its first premiership since joining West Gippsland - despite a slight stumble in the first final, and remains grateful for one of the most enjoyable seasons of his career.

“I was very confident as the coach,” he said.

“And I was lucky to coach them, they were a great team, and we achieved the ultimate glory.

“It was a fantastic year.”

Rowe even got the chance to pull on the boots against Warragul in a one-off game in 2001 (at the age of 47) for the Eagles, one of the great thrills of his football life.

“I played with Joel, I never thought that would happen, and it did. I had a great time,” he said.

The past players and officials of Beaconsfield were also treated to an entertaining talk by ex-Collingwood and Woori Yallock champion Damian Monkhorst, as well as ex-Hawthorn and Beaconsfield-listed defender Brendan Whitecross.

MOTORING

Safety push for motorcycle riders A new online quiz has been developed to test and refresh motorcyclists' knowledge of safe riding behaviour and road rules.

The quiz engages motorcyclists in a conversation about safety and encourages ongoing education about road rules and rider behaviour.

"Whether an experienced, recreational or learner rider, we want all motorcyclists to brush up on their skills and knowledge each year to ensure they are riding to their ability and adapting to the road conditions," Roads, Road Safety and the TAC Minister Jaala Pulford said.

"Motorcyclists are more vulnerable our

roads compared to other road users.

"Riders should test their skills and knowledge and continue to develop and practice safe riding habits."

The safety messages will also be promoted to motorcyclists through traditional and social media, and roadside billboards across Victoria.

Motorcyclists are over-represented in road trauma.

They make up less than four per cent of registered vehicles yet account for about 19 per cent of deaths on our roads this year.

'Every Second - Always On' complements

the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) Perfect Ride motorcycle safety campaign, urging Victorian riders to take care on the roads.

1187559-RC24-15

A new motorcycle education safety campaign has been launched to help address a tragic spike in motorcycle fatalities in Victoria this year.

On 19 June, 28 motorcyclists and passengers had lost their lives across the state this year - 11 more than for the same time last year.

The 'Every Second - Always On' campaign encourages riders to brush up on their safe riding skills and knowledge.

The campaign highlights the need for motorcyclists to be constantly vigilant and focuses on key contributors to crashes - speed, cornering, road positioning, road hazards, and other road users.
