Archibalds open

By Jed Lanyon The TarraWarra Museum of Art opened the Archibald Prize exhibition on Saturday 14 September, featuring the portraits of 54 of Australia's leading and emerging artists, including Tony Costa's Archibald Prize winning portrait of Lindy Lee. The Sydney artist spoke exclusively to the Mail and shared the story behind winning one of Australia's most prestigious and oldest art awards.

"It was the morning, and the phone rang.

The voice at the other end said, is that you Tony?

"And the voice said, this is Michael Brand from the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and then the phone cut out.

"And I said, I know what's happened. The painting has fallen off the wall, they have damaged it and they want me to go in and have a look."

Mr Costa returned the call to learn that his artwork was in perfect condition and that he had won the 2019 Archibald Prize, which he described as an overwhelming experience.

"Two and a half hours later I'm standing on a stage giving a speech and collecting the award."

Mr Costa painted fellow artist Lindy Lee. He said he wanted to portray Lee in a meditative state levitating on the canvas, practicing her Zen Buddhism faith.

"It's rather unusual in that most of the people I paint, I have either met or have known for a number of years.

"Lindy Lee was quite unique in that I had heard she was a wonderful person ... I kept hearing how lovely she was.

"I paint portraits, but I'm not interested in your face. I'm really interested in who you are as a human being. And that's what I hope to trap with any painting.

"And in Lindy's case, I'm painting all of the things I can't see about her. That's what I'm interested in.

"If I can inject those sensations and feelings in the portrait and then if those feelings are reflected back at you. As far as I'm concerned, that's a successful painting.

"It might not even look like the subject. It doesn't matter. What really matters is the feeling. As an expressionist I put feelings over and above physical accuracy."

Tony Costa won the 2019 Archibald Prize for his portrait of Lindy Lee. Mr Costa revealed that he hasn't used a paint brush for over 30 years and that his prize winning portrait was created with his hands.

"I'm essentially a very impatient person, so I paint with my hands ... I wear surgical gloves; they are very thin and at the end of a painting session there might be 100 gloves laying around the studio floor."

Mr Costa welcomes visitors to TarraWarra to take a close inspection of his artwork to try and identify which parts of his hands, fingers and thumbs had been used in particular places of his portrait.

"I found that by putting an image down

quickly with my hand, had a greater visual impact than sitting there with my brush and trying to paint it."

TarraWarra Museum of Art director Victoria Lynn said she hopes the exhibition will bring over 50,000 people to the Yarra Valley and through the gallery doors.

"It's wonderful to have the Archibald Prize back here at TarraWarra, it's been a long wait, but we're really delighted."

The museum will allow visitors to vote for their favourite artwork and will later reveal the Victorian people's choice selection.

While Ms Lynn said that she doesn't like to pick favourites, she shared that she was intrigued by Anh Do's portrait, which features other paintings and imagery within the hair of George Gittoes.

The 2019 Archibald Prize exhibition will run from 14 September to 5 November at the TarraWarra Museum of Art. The museum will be hosting intimate evening sessions with certain artists throughout the exhibition.

A bright idea

David Blair’s life

By Jed Lanyon Friends, family and community members came together on Sunday 8 September to celebrate the life of David Blair in Toolangi, near the same mountain ash forests that he dedicated his life to studying.

The Healesville resident and forest ecologist's life was cut short after a skiing accident at Mount Bogong on August 29.

Senator Janet Rice paid tribute to Dr Blair in the Senate on Tuesday 10 September.

"Dave lived life to the full ... He revelled in the company of his family and friends and he loved nature.

"He loved spending time with his kids in nature and taking his scout group out to explore and appreciate nature. He was an amazing, inspirational scout leader.

"As his mother, Margaret, said to me over a cup of tea after the service, Dave was lucky in that he was able to work doing what he loved."

The 48-year-old was a husband and a father of two, and was a senior research officer for the Australian National University Fenner School of Environment and Society.

Dr Blair received his doctorate just six weeks ago.

Ms Rice said that David's wife Sera gave a moving speech by sharing the formula she thought he used to have such a happy and valuable life.

"He had studied mountain ash and alpine ash forests intensively for more than 10 years following the Black Saturday bushfires, looking at post-fire and post-logging vegetation recovery.

"Observing how the forests have been recovering from the Black Saturday bushfires had been a particular focus of his work, seeing and recording the damage done to these forest ecosystems from intensive, damaging logging," Ms Rice said.

"Our Senate committee benefited from his time, his expertise and his passion.

"As chair of this inquiry I express my gratitude on behalf of all of us. I knew Dave as a gentle, selfless person, someone who was deeply passionate about the health of the vast, interconnected web of life on our planet, someone who knew that science can both show the threats that life is under and show the way forward."

Swenrick

Friends of Leadbeater's Possum president Steve Meacher said, "Dr Blair was hands-on with his work and was often measuring trees and recording the presence of bird species.

"He was hugely knowledgeable, competent and very intelligent. He was very generous with his time often leading tours on weekends.

"It's a huge loss to the Healesville community, forest community and to David's family."

New lighting at Lillydale Lake will make it easier for night-time visitors to get around and stay visible.

Yarra Ranges Council installed more than 30 new lights around the lake’s car park and circuit near the playground.

It will relocate existing lights in coming months to provide better coverage for people visiting the lake in the evenings.

Billanook Ward Councillor Tim Heenan said the new LED lighting would provide a safer experience while reducing the council’s energy use.

“We have many people who use the lake’s track for exercise, dog walking or relaxation during the day and evenings,” he said.

“But during our colder months and after sunset, it used to be a bit difficult to navigate some areas of the lake due to the lighting.”

Cr Heenan said the new lighting project complemented 10 new solar powered lights at the off-lead dog park at the lake, funded through the State Government’s Pick My Project program.

“The dog park is a very well-used and wellloved part of the lake and this lighting will mean that people can come to exercise their dog, teach them new skills or take part in group activities anytime,” Cr Heenan said.

“Now these two projects have been completed, visitors can arrive at the main car park and make their way to the dog park part of the lake safely and with good lighting.”

The council will work with Melbourne Water to install additional lighting along the lake’s wall in the near future.

IN BRIEF

McAllister wins out

By Casey Neill A Yarra Ranges Councillor has successfully fought her own shire's prosecution over tree removal without a permit.

Councillor Fiona McAllister said on 11 September that her win at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) was a significant victory for common sense.

The council's local laws department wanted Cr McAllister to pay $17,000 in offset costs and receive a $30,000-plus fine and a conviction for allegedly removing five trees on her Healesville property.

On 30 August, VCAT decided Cr McAllister should only have to plant 15 trees as an offset.

"This is a win for common sense and sets an important precedent to stop people being unfairly intimidated by council local laws departments," she said.

"Too many people have been prosecuted and intimidated into paying huge fines for tree removal without a planning permit.

"The $17,000 vegetation offset claimed by Yarra Ranges Council was equivalent to taking out a good piece of bush 40 metres by 40 me-

tres - this was ridiculous and excessive."

Cr McAllister said councils had used the threat of huge legal costs and a refusal to mediate to manipulate people into paying huge fines or engage their own lawyers and run the risk of huge additional costs - including having to pay the council's legal costs.

"Yarra Ranges Council lawyers wanted me to pay the $17,000 offset and also be fined at the Magistrates' Court over $30,000. This is bureaucracy out of control," she said.

The Magistrates' Court fined her $3000 and did not record a conviction.

Tree removal without a permit is a strict liability offence, so even if it occurs without the landowner's knowledge or consent they are liable.

"I had nothing to do with the tree removal.

It was accidental removal by contractors arranged by my husband but council refused to switch the prosecution to him," Cr McAllister said.

"The strict liability status of this offence should be revised by the State Government.

"As it stands, if a personal enemy or stranger cuts down a tree on anyone's property the

landowner is personally liable.

"This is a defect in the law.

"The State Government needs to repair the law on this and clarify and simplify the native vegetation removal rules, which don't properly deal with single tree removal."

Cr McAllister said her husband's contractor accidently removed two small trees of about 160 millimetres in diameter but that appealing the VCAT decision to the Supreme Court would be very difficult on that question of fact.

Yarra Ranges Council's social and economic development director, James Collins said the council followed a thorough process when investigating compliance issues.

"That process is applied consistently to anyone who breaches the law within our municipality," he said.

"This includes making every attempt to settle compliance issues outside of the courts.

"Taking action in the courts is a last resort.

"The landowner was offered several opportunities to rectify the breach by the payment of a fixed penalty and to rectify the land in accordance with the Yarra Ranges Planning Scheme."

Making a difference in the community

By Jed Lanyon The Marysville SES Unit is recruiting and will host an induction night on Tuesday 1 October for new members and those interested in joining.

Sarah Coomber is a community engagement officer for the Victoria State Emergency Service (SES) Marysville unit.

She said she'd loved her time with the SES and that was a great way to learn new skills, while applying your own expertise.

“The biggest thing for me was that I didn’t actually know what the SES did ... I wondered if I could actually be any help.

“There are so many different roles ... You don’t have to be expected to be available for emergencies 24/7.”

Ms Coomber has four children and said she enjoyed the opportunity to get out to the weekly training night.

She joined the SES after moving to the area as a way to meet new people and make friends.

In the last year, the Marysville SES Unit responded to more than 120 calls for assistance.

About 70 were for trees down blocking the road, with the others made up of road rescue and search and rescue events.

Marysville SES regularly supports Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria at those types of incidents as well as travelling out of the area to support neighbouring units.

The Marysville SES Unit has 15 volunteers from all walks of life and all ages located across the Buxton, Taggerty, Narbethong and Marysville.

They're highly trained and dedicated to their mission of making the community safer

Causing a stink Yarra Glen Police are investigating two incidents where vandals have broken into the Yarra Glen Tennis Club.

On the first occasion, drinks were stolen from the club. On the second occasion, the offenders defecated in the kitchen sink.

Sergeant Richard Coulson said the second incident occurred between 2.30pm on 8 September and 3.30pm on 9 September.

He urges anyone who may have information about the incident to contact Yarra Glen Police Station on 9730 1296.

Aggravated burglary A 38-year-old man was arrested following a series of incidents in Christmas Hills and Yarra Glen on the morning of Saturday 14 September.

A man allegedly approached a woman on Buttermans Track in Christmas Hills and demanded she get out of her car.

She complied, however the man was unable to find the keys so fled.

A short time later police received reports of four aggravated burglaries on Skyline Road in Yarra Glen.

During one of the aggravated burglaries, a Lexus was stolen after the man had dumped a stolen Hilux ute.

There were no injuries reported during any of the incidents.

The police Air Wing conducted a search of the surrounding area when they spotted a man in bushland at Kinglake shortly before 10am.

While police on the ground were making their way to the man, emergency services received a triple zero call from a man saying he was lost in bushland and needed to be rescued.

The Critical Incident Response Team were happy to comply and arrested the man without incident.

The Werribee man is currently in custody and is assisting police with their enquiries.

Petrol pay Yarra Glen Police are looking into an incident at the Caltex service station in Yarra Glen on the morning of Monday 16 September.

A driver filled up their car with $75 worth of fuel but was unable to pay at the counter.

The man said he would return to the petrol station with the money needed to pay for his purchase.

He left the petrol station without his vehicle, which was left with its motor running.

Police were investigating whether the car may be stolen at the time the Mail went to print.

Our climate emergency

By Romy Stephens The Yarra Ranges Council has joined 45 other councils across Australia in declaring a climate emergency.

Councillors passed the motion to recognise a climate emergency in front of a large audience at their 10 September meeting, five votes to three.

Cr Mike Clarke said climate change was a global issue and declaring a climate emergency would help the Yarra Ranges to work collaboratively with Australian and international councils.

“Around the world, we’re seeing rapid increases in climate change effects and intense weather events,” he said.

“This is a global-scale emergency where all communities and local governments need to work together with the other two tiers of government.

“The motion is calling for our council staff to help us find better ways that can take us down the path towards carbon neutrality and accelerate initiatives that will help achieve that.

“This will better join us all with other climate emergency councils to work collaboratively to achieve these goals and outcomes we all so desire.”

But some councillors argued that enough climate action was already being taken within the region.

Cr Fiona McAllister said she supported taking action on climate change but that the council was already doing enough in the space.

“We absolutely all agree that we’re in a state of climate change that requires urgent action,” she said.

“We’ve already committed to develop our climate action plan from beyond 2020.

“To start to develop a climate emergency framework, with little background, little con-

A group of Yarra Valley students were out in full force at the council meeting to support the declaration of a climate emergency. text, a huge body of research and a lot of community support, will absolutely slow down the development of an action plan for us as a council.”

Cr Jim Child said “this emotive journey that we’re going on with this climate emergency statement“ was unnecessary because the

council was already acting.

“We don’t need to declare an emergency,“ he said.

“And in fact, and I’ll stand corrected by the madame CEO, I don’t even believe we’ve got that authority to declare a climate emergency

under the Local Government Act. “We shouldn’t be in that space, we should be really celebrating the amount of work that we’ve been doing over those previous years, where we’re heading for, we recognised the urgency and that’s what we should be doing.

“To join this campaign of emergency I believe is just not right.“ Cr Tim Heenan said he supported Cr Clarke’s motion “to declare a climate emergency because it’s the right thing to do for the Shire of Yarra Ranges“.

“The science has been out there for a very long time, we have to believe the science, it’s irrefutable,“ he said.

“This emergency gives us the chance to accelerate some of the fantastic things that we’ve already heard about tonight.

“I’m declaring support for a climate change emergency on behalf of our community. They have spoken loud and clear.“ A large number of people from the community attended the council meeting and the decision to declare a climate emergency was met with a huge cheer from the audience.

Healesville resident Jeff Barlow said the term climate emergency was an accurate expression of the dangers the community faced.

“Strong inspired leadership and the potency of the language we use and inspired action we take all works to create a feeling of safety and security within the community,” he said.

“Using the phrase climate emergency is speaking the truth.

“For the council to adopt this language, would send a strong message to the community that we are now in a new climate emergency paradigm.”

A choir also attended the council meeting and prior to the proceedings sang about the need to raise a red flag in the wake of a climate emergency.

The editor’s desk My parting words for our Mail readers as I step away on maternity leave are simple: be kind.

I wrote this column as my Facebook feed was flooded with posts about R U OK? Day, on 12 September.

It was wonderful to see so many people sharing the distinctive yellow posts, offering support and urging friends, family and strangers to speak up.

But it also got me thinking about the comments and messages I'd been reading on Facebook in the preceding days, and even hours.

R U OK? Day gets people talking about mental health and encourages them to meaningfully connect with those around them.

But the Mail's Facebook page was littered with comments like "you're just making yourself look stupid in public now" and the Mail team has received some unnecessarily personal attacks.

Remember that there's always a human on the other end of your message - whether you agree with their point of view or not, whether you think they're doing a good job or not.

Try imagining yourself or a loved one on the receiving end of your message, or ask yourself whether you'd speak the same words to the person's face.

I encourage anyone with feedback regarding the Mail to get in touch via editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au or our Facebook page - but keep it kind.

- Casey Neill

Cire tops training awards Cire CEO Gus Seremetis said the string of accolades was a thrilling acknowledgement of Cire’s work, with much to look forward to in the future.

“We are proud of our quality and innovative approaches to up-skilling people to enhance their employment pathways, and the positive difference this makes at so many levels and well beyond the classroom,” she said.

Ms Seremetis noted the true measure of Cire’s success was the high number of participants who found employment following training at Cire and the increase in course enrolments.

“Our award successes are a particular tribute to the hard work of our team at Cire training and the way all our services work in collaboration to deliver to people of all ages within our extensive reach,” she said.

By Jed Lanyon Cire Services has been named the top community training provider in Victoria.

The honour came at the Victorian Department of Education and Training’s 65th Anniversary Victorian Training Awards on Friday 6 September.

The awards are the most prestigious event on the TAFE and training calendar, showcasing the best of the best in the sector as well as highlighting how vocational education and training is making a difference to individuals and communities.

To go along with the award, Cire was recently recognised as a Learn Local Legend at the Victorian Learn Local Awards, while Nina Bekker and the Women’s Warehouse Essentials program were finalists for other awards.

The Women’s Warehouse Essentials program empowers long-term unemployed women and 70 per cent of participants have achieved employment.

"It took a lot of effort and money, but it looks great now that it'd finally there."

The school had a log carving created featuring a lyrebird and an echidna, as well as the school's logo.

Don Valley student Gabriel said, "At the start of the year I came up with the idea of having a mascot because our school was kind of bland.

"I had a big chat with Ms Gunther and she agreed to it."

The students started a fundraiser by stick-

symbol of pride for the school going forward.

The students said that the lyrebird and echidna were chosen as they are Australian native animals which also inhabit the Don Valley area.

The school was thankful to receive donations from the Rotary Club of Healesville as well as Woori Yallock Community Bank.

DINING OUT

Owner relishes the ride Red Relish Cafe is in Main Street, Yarra Junction, just opposite the Commonwealth Bank.

Owner Sue Cordina will be celebrating two years in business come November.

“It’s been a roller coaster ride, and I’ve loved every minute,” she said.

Many hours of hard work, time and patience combined with a great team of staff have seen the business flourish.

With a solid local following and an ever-increasing tourist trade, Red Relish is rapidly establishing itself as one of the ‘must visit’ cafes in the Yarra Valley.

Positive online and social media reviews confirm this.

Sue says the menu has something for everyone.

All day breakfasts range from traditional, such as the Aussie big breaky, to house-made muesli with fresh fruit and local honey.

For lunch time there’s a varied selection, from salt and pepper squid to a mighty parma.

The Red Relish burger - a local beef patty with caramelised onion, bacon and housemade tomato relish - is a definite favourite.

There is also risotto, beef or vegetable lasagne, and an array of house-made pies and quiches.

Brews are varied, with Sue opting to go with a local coffee.

Chum Creek Coffee is a medium-body, smooth blend which has proven very popular.

For diners not after a caffeine hit, there’s a fresh chai or one of four smoothies on offer Hawaiian Heaven (banana, pineapple, coconut yoghurt and coconut milk) will leave diners longing for summer afternoons.

There’s a choice of 10 different flavoured soft drinks for ice-cream spiders or maybe an old-fashioned milk shake served in a stain-

Spiced pumpkin and caramel donuts/muffins.

less-steel tumbler.

Cakes, cakes and more cakes - Sue says the selection is large, mouth-watering and includes vegan and gluten-free options.

Whether diners are after freshly-baked muffins and scones or a seriously good vanilla slice, they can’t stand in front of the dessert fridge and say no.

“Our cakes and sweets have a solid reputation,” Sue says.

“Whole cake sales have gone through the roof.

“Customers know they are getting top-quality made on the premises by a qualified chef.

“That kind of assurance matters.”

Red Relish is open seven days a week. Bookings are recommended on 5967 1628.

ENTERTAINMENT

Sun Festival will brighten our lives

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Valley ECOSS will be hosting the Sun Festival on Saturday 21 September, which will feature many activities, including a display of electric vehicles.

The festival will celebrate the sun, solar power and the theme of sustainability and will highlight how different cultures celebrate the sun.

One feature of the Sun Festival will be the Great Ecological Wheelbarrow Race where an adult and child team undertake great ecological challenges with prizes to be won.

The event will host the official launch of the Dr Annie Yoffa signage project that will honour her extraordinary life, including a musical performance by 8Foot Felix.

The Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA) will end their Victorian electric vehicle (EV) tour at ECOSS where 20 electric vehicles will be on display along with Tesla power walls.

AEVA's Bryce Gaton is touring Victoria in his EV and is looking forward to sharing his experience to those looking to learn more about this growing industry.

"It's a chance to find out about EV's from those who have been there and done that."

Mr Gaton said that many countries such as Norway, France, the United Kingdom and others have already committed to solely producing electronic vehicles in the future.

"I just drove from Melbourne and Sydney and back and it's quite doable, much like using a petrol car now.

"I would only have to stop for a 30-45 minute break while charging ... it doesn't really slow you down."

Mr Gaton said he looks forward to answer-

Marlowe and Pepa with Geoffrey Lawrence and Chelsea McNab. 196734 ing all kinds of questions about EV's at the Sun Festival, while helping dispel the idea that owning an electric car can be difficult.

"The main thing is trying to prove that long distance driving in an EV is just as easy in a petrol car and will continue to get easier as days go by."

Other performances at the Sun Festival include The Dreaming Space Circus, MOOP Pa-

trol, Climate Angels, Jayda Holman, Arvo and Tomi, Alpha Bravo1 and Yarra Valley Drummers.

The Sun Festival will include magic shows, an eco-market, a climate change art exhibition, tiny houses on display and clay play.

Big names

By Romy Stephens One of Australia’s most acclaimed directors, Gale Edwards, will be teaming up with Oscarwinning costume designer Tim Chappel to bring Yarra Valley audiences the Australian premiere of The Enchanted Pig. The duo will work with Gertrude Opera as part of the Yarra Valley Opera Festival, which runs for nine days from 18 October.

Edwards has directed all genres of theatre and opera nationally and internationally, as well as film and television.

A multiple-award-winner, Edwards has more than 30 years of directing experience under her belt and will bring a wealth of knowledge and excitement to the event.

She will direct The Enchanted Pig - suitable for all ages - and a contemporary, adults-only version of Poppea.

Meanwhile, Chappel will join Gertrude Opera’s creative team to design costumes for The Enchanted Pig. Chappel’s iconic costume designs for The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert earned him an Oscar, which he followed up with a Tony Award in 2011 for the stage musical version.

Festival director Linda Thompson said the experience of such incredible talent would be instrumental in providing a world-class spectacle.

“It is a gift to the festival to have talent and creativity of this calibre and international acclaim,” she said.

“Gale and Tim’s creative expertise mixed with our performers’ talent and skill makes for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.“ In its second year, the international event is still the only opera festival in Australia.

It will be held on the farmyard grounds of a historic Yarra Valley homestead, fronting the Yarra River and Olinda creek.

The Yarra Valley Opera Festival will run from 18 to 27 October at Olinda Yarra in Yering.

Painting portraits with the mayor - kids step it up

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Glen Primary School students embraced the spirit of Not the Archies by sitting down with Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson to paint his portrait.

Two students from each year level took part in the lesson to paint Mr Stevenson while asking him all kinds of questions about his role as the mayor.

The students were quick to notice Mr Stevenson wearing a pair of Richmond socks, which inspired some students to change the colour of his tie to suit their own favourite footy team.

Other students wondered how they would go about painting Mr Stevenson's 'whiskers'.

Yarra Glen Primary School students were keen to paint Tony Stevenson's portrait.

a celebration for the return of the Archibald Prize to the TarraWarra Museum of Art. The students were surprised to learn of the $1000 in prize money on offer for Not the Archies.

One student said they would be buying a lot of skittles with the prize money, while another offered to buy a pair of Collingwood socks in case Mr Stevenson had a change of heart about supporting Richmond.

Some of the other prizes for the competition include an unlimited cinema pass for the 12-17 age category, a $300 voucher for a design class at Box Hill Institute for the emerging artist category.

A continuation of the acclaimed TV series, Downton Abbey is a charming and well-acted historical drama, but it's light on the drama.

In 1927, a planned royal visit sends the residents and staff of Downton Abbey into a whirlwind of preparation and power struggles.

Downton Abbey has a fun atmosphere of ceremony and bluster, the opulent setting is beautiful and the costuming and period detail feel completely authentic.

The film also has a surprisingly egalitarian tone: the narrative has several heartening moments of respect and collaboration between master and servant, and the Downton servants stage a clever coup to reclaim their responsibilities and dignity from the invasive royal servants.

While the prestigious cast delivers universally strong performances, their characters are thinly-written, making them hard to distinguish or keep track of (exacerbated by some very abrupt editing), and the conflicts feel somewhat toothless and easily-resolved.

The plot shows its cards about a shady agent character far too early, disarming the attempted plot-twist, then clumsily explains the resolution later.

There is a genuinely poignant subplot involving two noblewomen clashing over the inheritance of their family estate and a scandalous secret, but a later revelation robs this issue of all impact.

Downton Abbey is a stylish, pleasant film that will no doubt delight fans of the show, but the characters and conflicts end up rather flat.

Brotherly bond proves hard to beat

By Ron Hottes

Monbulk star Shane Williams (middle) celebrates a goal. 197752

Pictures: ROB CAREW

Slow start costly

By Nick Creely Pakenham got the fast start, and Monbulk simply couldn't catch them.

And it came down to a regular defender turned forward in Liam Tyrrell to completely blow the game apart in the first term and leave the Hawks with an insurmountable task ahead of them.

The Lions advanced through to this Sunday's AFL Outer East Division 1 grand final against Doveton in a preliminary final played at Beaconsfield's Holm Park, holding the Hawks at bay after quarter time to set up another showdown with the Doves, 11.8 (74) to 7.7 (49).

Usual defender Liam Tyrrell had the Hawks scratching their heads in the first term, with coach Ash Green starting the emerging star

down forward, where he rose above all else to snag four goals off his own boot in the first term alone to set up a 32-point advantage to the Lions at the first break.

The Lions were lowering their eyes perfectly and showcasing some scintillating skill by foot, with the Hawks panicking in possession with the forward pressure of Green's side making life very difficult.

It was a coaching masterstroke that the Hawks were unable to recover from, and despite a gallant fightback in the second term - where they had all the run but couldn't put it on the scoreboard - the Lions had all the answers, constantly finding a goal when needed and managing to close the game down after its blistering start.

Despite Tyrrell slowing down from a goal

kicking perspective, the youngster still had some big moments up the ground as the Lions turned the game into a scrap as the heavens opened up in the final half, with the Hawks pressing hard and never giving in until the final siren.

On a tough day for the Hawks in an otherwise outstanding season, Brodie Emmett was brilliant, while big man Michael Langworthy's presence lifted as the game wore on. For the Lions, Jake Barclay was a force, while Rhys Nelson showed some great toe, particularly late in the game as the Hawks challenged.

In the Premier Division, Beaconsfield survived a scare from Cranbourne to advance through to a preliminary, 10.18 (78) to 9.9 (63), while Berwick motored away from Narre Warren to advance through to the grand final, 9.9 (63).

Bloods - they simply can’t be stopped

By Romy Stephens PREMIER Even the pressure of finals action can't stop Olinda Ferny Creek.

The top-side has stormed its way through to the grand final with a convincing 50-39 win over Beaconsfield on Saturday afternoon at Toomac Reserve.

The game was expected to be a tussle, considering the last time these two sides met the Bloods scraped over the line by seven goals ? their closet margin all season.

But after a poor start, the Eagles were never able to completely recover.

It was the first and third quarter that did the most damage for the Eagles. After conceding a six-goal deficit in the first quarter, they weathered the storm during the second but only to peg the margin back to five goals.

However, the experience of the Bloods soon took its toll on the Eagles.

Olinda stormed out of the blocks after halftime and blew the lead out to 11 goals by the final siren.

A host of players were impressive for the Bloods, but particularly notable was goaler Elly Stewart (14 goals) who as per usual combined well with her sister Peri (36 goals).

The other semi-final saw Cranbourne storm home to steal the win against Woori Yallock on Saturday, 42-34.

In what was a tight tussle all day, it seemed 18 MAIL

Tuesday, 17 September, 2019

Cranbourne's Grace Rand looks to pass around Woori Yallock's Mia Sudomirski. 197750 Picture: ROB CAREW as though the Tigers were ready to cause a massive upset towards the back-end of the finals campaign.

There was nothing separating the two sides at three-quarter-time with both sides scoring 26 goals each.

But the confidence of the Eagles soon won out, as they piled on a 16-9 goal final quarter and denied the Tigers of any chance at a preliminary finals spot.

The result sees the Tigers bow out of the competition, while Cranbourne and Beaconsfield will once again match up to decide who

makes it through to the grand final against Olinda Ferny Creek.

The two sides last played in the qualifying final on 7 September, where Beaconsfield just got over the line by three goals.

DIVISION 1 The Monbulk Hawks have secured themselves a grand final spot after recording a big upset win over ROC at Holm Park Reserve on Sunday afternoon.

The result put an end to what was a disappointing finals campaign for ROC, with the minor premiers losing both finals games by 13 goals each time.

In a game that was quite close early on, it was the Hawks who always seemed to have the upper hand.

They extended a one-goal lead at the end of the first quarter out to three goals by half-time.

Once they smelt the lead, the Hawks never looked back and continued to extend the margin until the final siren.

The result will see Monbulk match up against Mount Evelyn in the grand final on 22 September.

The Rovers will go into the game hot favourites having won all three games against Monbulk this season.

But with all three results being decided by eight goals or less and the Hawks coming off a big upset win, both sides will be ready for a tussle.

It’s often stated that siblings have an innate connection.

This proved true of brothers Ian and Phil Garside in the Warburton Golf Club's 11 September competition in the 4BBB par format.

‘Junior’ and ‘Senior’ are like two peas in a pod on the golf course, and the weekend’s competition only proved that.

A +9 meant a win but it wasn’t done easily.

The runner-up pair, on +8 if you don’t mind, were Wayne Kempton and life member Barry LeGassick.

There was a big jump down to the next score, hence why the ball rundown got to +4.

Daily nearest the pin winners were Junior Garsy on the third, Pete Ingamells on the 10th (and nearly an eagle) and Steve Wyatt on the 15th.

On Saturday 14 September, the early spring weather certainly brought out members who had been hibernating for much of the winter.

As a result, the biggest field for some months (51) contested the stableford competition and the best scores on the day were shared.

Young beginner Liam Kay produced an impressive 39 points to take out the A-grade.

Clearly, Liam was concerned that his dad Andy was hogging too much of the limelight recently.

Ron Hottes snared the B-grade voucher with a rare but good score.

The runner-up was Andrew Williams with 38 points.

Andrew was warming up for the fast-approaching C/Championships where he has been a six-time winner.

Balls got down to 34 and the daily nearest the pin winners were Junior Kempton on the third, Daddy Kempton on the fifth, Willo on the ninth, guest D Richie on the 12th and Andy McMath on the 15th.

Athletics tried

By Jamie Strudley Yarra Ranges Athletics held the first of two ‘come and try’ days at a sunny Morrison Reserve on Saturday morning.

Enthusiastic athletes and parents made the most of the informal play on the athletics equipment.

Success for Healesville

By Jed Lanyon Healesville Netball Club is celebrating a successful season as their under 13 and under 15 sides won the premiership, while several players received individual honours.

The small club had four of their five teams feature in grand finals, but their other under 15 and the under 17 teams were unable to win their final game of the season.

Emily Anderson-Hunter was awarded the best and fairest for the league, while Lily Clements and Mia Erickson took out second place for the award in their leagues on Saturday 7 September.

Healesville player Issy said it felt really good to take out the premiership in the under 15 competition.

"We were down by four at half-time and we just made a big comeback to get the win," she said.

"I think that we all work really well together."

She said her favourite moment was when the final siren sounded.

"There were a lot of smiles and we were all really happy."

Healesville Netball Club administration officer Janet Flamsteed said it was a great achievement for a small club.

"Four of our five teams made it to the grand final, so it was our best season ever.

"It was a really great day, even the girls who lost, they picked themselves up and were really happy for those who won."

Other clubs in the league can feature over 20 teams.
