Sanders salutes

By Jed Lanyon Three Bridges Enduro motorcyclist Daniel Sanders was named the outright champion at the Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) on Saturday 15 September.

Sanders last won the AORC in 2016 and said it was good to be back on top after finishing second last year.

“I had the fire in my eyes for this season. It’s a big achievement to win it back,” he said.

The 11 rounds of racing saw Sanders and the Husqvarna Racing Team competing across New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria since March.

The AORC has racers participating in a range of events such as three hour cross countries, sprints, and endurance races where riders are on their bikes for eight hours a day across a weekend.

After kicking his feet up for a bit, Sanders’ eyes are now set on riding in the International Six Day Enduro (ISDE) in Portugal in November.

“Racing for team Australia has always been a privilege. It’s my sixth year representing Australia ... There are a lot of strong riders all going to the race so it’ll be the year to win it,” Sanders said.

In preparation for travelling to the ISDE, Sanders and fellow Husqvarna Enduro race team member Fraser Higlett will be hosting a fundraiser event for local riders.

“It’ll be a fun event to interact with other riders and kids.”

He said the event will be targeted towards riders as opposed to racers and that there would be tracks for all skill levels.

“A few people will come along to camp, I think it will just be a chilled out day for everyone to enjoy the dirt bike scene.”

The event will feature giveaways raffles and a sausage sizzle, but places are limited to 100 riders.

The Tawny Frogmouth that has been released back into the wild.

giant game for

tigers!

Be part of AFL Grand Final Day celebrations at Yarra Junction Village.

For the birds Two of Australia's most impressive birds of prey have been released back into the wild, thanks to some quick thinking by the veterinary team at Healesville Sanctuary.

A Tawny Frogmouth and a Barn Owl were brought into the Australian Wildlife Health Centre (AWHC) at the sanctuary in the same week, sporting very different injuries.

AWHC veterinary nurse Ellen Richmond said both birds were found in the local area.

"The Tawny Frogmouth was found in Nar Nar Goon, unable to fly and quite weak.

"A wound was also found on the wing, which was stitched up by the team," she said.

Once blood tests returned to normal and weight had increased to a normal range, the tawny was trained within flight tunnels at the hospital to improve his fitness, before being released back into the wild.

Contrary to how they may appear, Tawny Frogmouths aren't a type of owl, but another species of nocturnal bird called a night jar.

Unlike owls, Tawny Frogmouths use their beaks, not their feet to catch prey, which are generally quite weak and only used for perching.

Tawny Frogmouths usually build their nests in a tree fork, whereas an owl will use a tree hollow or steal the nest of another bird.

In a fitting coincidence with his name, the Barn Owl was found in a barn in Warburton.

"The Barn Owl showed an abnormal red blood cell count, which the vets most likely attributed to eating rat bait - unfortunately a common occurrence for a lot of owls who prey on rodents," said Ms Richmond.

Luckily for this guy, a speedy diagnosis lead to swift and effective treatment.

Following a little fitness training to get him in full flight mode, he was released back in to the wild near where he was found.

If you find injured wildlife, staff at the AWHC asks that you take them to the nearest vet, wildlife carer or the AWHC for their best chance at survival.

IN BRIEF

Call to ramp it up

By Jed Lanyon A Warburton resident is calling for changes to be made to the disability access at Warburton Police Station after an elderly man’s motorised scooter became stuck on one of the ramps.

George Davies was travelling to his local police station to obtain a statutory declaration.

As he attempted to turn on one of the five long ramps featured at the station, he became stuck, requiring assistance from a police officer and a nearby mechanic to be freed.

Since then, Mr Davies friend Ivor Wolstencroft has been advocating on his behalf to see improvements made to the police station that opened just 11 months ago.

Mr Wolstencroft contacted the Australian Human Rights Commission and Victoria Police regarding the issue.

Victoria Police issued the following response to Mr Wolstencroft’s concerns: “As the station is compliant with all legal requirements and only recently built, Victoria Police is unable to undertake any additional building works, particularly given that it is a government organisation with fiscal management responsibilities.”

While Mr Wolstencroft said the building was constructed to standard building codes, he believes the excessive ramps wouldn’t pass the ‘pub test’.

“If you’re being pushed in a wheelchair, that’s fine. I just think the building regulations

Warburton Police Station. 198053 are behind the times given that we now have people on mobile scooters that need access to public places,” he said.

Mr Wolstencroft believes that the parking lot to the side of the police station would have been a more suitable location for the mobility impaired to access the station.

Mr Wolstencroft said that he was an advocate for a sign that informs locals from the street below if there is an officer on duty inside the station.

He hopes the sign prevents someone from making the journey to the front door only to find the police station to be closed.

“It’s not the end of the world, but for me, I

Picture: ROB CAREW guess it’s the principle of it.

“I respect the police in our community. I think they do a great job and I want to support them.”

Mr Wolstencroft hopes that mobility impaired people have more input on planning applications for public buildings, where disabled people may need access.

“One of the things that can help a disabled person is if there is a wheelchair readily available in the building.

“I’m sure the police are more than willing to help.

“Maybe that’s all that’s needed. But the community would need to know about that.”

Truckie fears for drivers on Warby Highway Driving it

By Jed Lanyon As Seville East residents continue to push for safety upgrades on the Warburton Highway, the Mail will share stories from the people who use the road every day.

To share your story, email jed.lanyon@mailnewsgroup.com.au.

“We stopped here at 9.30 one morning after dropping the kids off at school. I was stationary while waiting to turn right into Peters Road and we got hit up the back by a four wheel drive,” Pauline Charlton said.

Thankfully, all passengers walked away from the incident with no major injuries, despite minor whiplash and a sore back.

Pauline’s partner Craig is a truck driver who is often carrying over 50 tonnes of crushed rock along the highway at 90 kilometres per hour.

He says he fears for drivers attempting to enter the Warburton Highway who have to edge

Operation Scoreboard Victoria Police will be executing their game plan over the grand final long weekend and ask the community to consider theirs as police officers focus on road safety state-wide.

Police will be targeting speed, distraction type offences, drug driving and drink driving, and the operation will run from Thursday midnight until Sunday Midnight.

The AFL Grand Final public holiday on Friday 27 September provides an opportunity for families to free themselves from their usual commitments and it is anticipated that large numbers of people will use Victorian roads, often driving long distances in unfamiliar driving conditions.

Motorists are requested to stay within the speed limit, don’t drink alcohol or take drugs and drive, leave your mobile phone out of reach, wear your seatbelt/child restraints and make sure you are well rested.

Speed Cameras will be rostered in known high collision locations and there will be an increased presence of police.

Fatigue is one of the biggest killers on Victorian roads. Drivers are requested to plan their trip, be patient and ensure that you take at least a 15 minutes break at least every two hours and don’t drive if you are tired.

Drivers planning to travel during this period can expect to see an increase in vehicles travelling on our major freeways and highways throughout the State.

Causing a stink Yarra Glen Tennis Club has yet again been the target of vandals.

Yarra Glen Police are now investigating three seperate incidents where vandals have broken into the Tennis Club.

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

The third incident occurred between 7:30pm on 20 September and 9am on 22 September.

According to Police, the offenders forced entry to the club and left an empty alcohol bottle and cigarettes strewn across the clubroom.

Anyone with information or who may have seen suspicious activity is urged to contact Yarra Glen Police Station on 9730 1296.

What a load of rubbish!

Craig and Pauline Charlton with their sons Nathan and Alex. the front of their vehicles into the highway.

He said another risky situation occurs when two cars are stuck when both attempting to turn right off the highway.

“If a car is coming up to turn right into Old Warburton Road and we’re coming down here to turn right into Peters Road ... You can’t do anything, we’re blocked.

“Most of them just sit there and panic,” Mr Charlton said.

“You are always wondering if you’re going to get hit or not, it’s just a waiting game,” Ms Charlton said.

Ms Charlton said she also hopes to see the road become safer for her two sons Alex and Nathan, who are forced to walk across three times a week.

Ten mattresses, 30 tyres, one couch, 400+ cans, and a clothesline were amongst the six trailerloads of household garbage were retrieved by Forest Fire Management Victoria crews and volunteers from the Yarra Valley 4x4 Club in the Yarra State Forest last weekend.

Most of the rubbish was collected along a stretch of road in Warburton less than three kilometres from the nearest tip.

Dumping of rubbish is not only illegal and unsightly, it damages the native environment; contaminating waterways and harming plants and animals, and is a hazard to forest users.

Coaches, parents and team officials, all volunteers, are being equipped and empowered, together they help develop core values and behaviours that underpin a club's culture.

In turn, this feeds into everyday life and we all benefit.

Emergency relief providers based in Belgrave (Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief), Healesville (HICCI) and Yarra Junction (LinC Yarra Valley) are using their federal funding to help some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Run by a small team of paid staff and many dedicated volunteers, these organisations run regular community meals, drop-in centres and provide emergency relief assistance to those in need.

Funding for Anglicare's Peaceful Warriors programme has extended its mentoring work with socially disadvantaged boys living in the Yarra Ranges.

It supports the vital connections with the boys' families, schools and local communities.

Stable One, another welfare focused group, will use their funding to continue to provide winter night shelter.

Building on their successes, they're assisting others seeking to replicate the programme elsewhere.

It's encouraging to see so many committed volunteers doing so much.

Fear for century-old trees The Lilydale level crossing removal project could kill trees that are more than 120 years old, locals fear.

Lilydale and District Historical Society president Sue Thompson made a formal submission to the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) consultation process.

She’s also a Lilydale Project Reference Group member.

Ms Thompson said the Lilydale and District Historical Society had spent decades fighting to retain the Queen’s Jubilee Avenue of trees.

She said then-Shire of Lillydale residents planted the first trees in 1897 to provide shade for horses and supress dust, and that the avenue had been added to since.

“In today’s climate these trees continue to provide valuable, welcoming shade for residents and visitors and help with our push to reduce greenhouse warming,” she said.

It extends along Main Street from Cave Hill Road in the west to the Warburton Walking Trail bridge to the east.

“The new sky rail station as proposed will send pylons to bedrock beneath the flood plain of the Olinda Creek,” Ms Thompson said.

“This will completely alter the course of the underground streams flowing along and under the present railway line.

“The proposed solid concrete wall on the north side to the stabling yards will completely block the underground water flow.”

She said the underground stormwater would also be altered and “that too will impact on our heritage trees”.

Ms Thompson asked the LXRA for a written guarantee that the sky rail would not interfere with the trees and independent reports to back this up.

“Members fear the trees will die through lack of water, the government will remove them and widen our Main Street to four or five lanes all the way from Cave Hill Road to the Warburton Rail Trail Bridge,” she said.

Ms Thompson also questioned why the authority was not also removing the level crossing at Melba Avenue; raised concerns about car parking; suggested the rail line from Mooroolbark to Lilydale should be duplicated; and said a rail station should be added at the new Kinley Estate, which would soon be home to 8000-plus people.

Music video shot at pub

By Jed Lanyon Those who walked zast the Healesville Hotel on Tuesday 17 September may have noticed the pub’s windows blacked out and other filming equipment in the area.

This was due to Healesville resident and artist Ben Mitchell filming a music video for his upcoming album Slow Is The New Fast.

The music video will see Mr Mitchell portray three different characters in an evening bar setting.

“I play three different parts, a disgruntled drinker, a bartender and a singer,” Mr Mitchell said.

“It’s just about how the music affects each of those three people differently and how it draws them in.”

The acoustic based album will be available on 10 October, coinciding with the release of the music video for You Can’t Fight That.

The video was shot by Momentum Studios, a Healesville based film production company founded by Michael Hardinge.

“We’re a video production company that shoots a lot of content for anything from network television to producing stuff that one way or another makes a difference in the community,” he said.

“We like to use video as a way to start conversations to create change.”

Mr Hardinge said it was fantastic to see so many local elements incorporated within the video’s production, including local talent, production team as well as local produce and wines.

Mr Mitchell said he hopes his music video will provide something that’s a little bit different.

“It’s quite atmospheric. An acoustic guitar is a really percussive instrument.

“You get a bit of rhythm from that but I’d really like people to be drawn in by the video

Filming taking place for Ben Mitchell's music video single. to the music to show something a bit more relaxed and not so in your face.”

Mr Mitchell said he was looking forward to acting again for the video as he has appeared in Neighbours and other TV shows and theatre.

“Hopefully the three different characters that I play will show different elements of my personality.”

Mr Mitchell was thankful to the Healesville Hotel for allowing him to spend the day shooting the music video.

“This bar has got a great feel. It’s nice to

shoot in your hometown, but it suits the video perfectly.”

Slow Is The New Fast is a collection of 14 acoustic folk-blues and raw American songs each recorded in one take, with a handful of overdubs.

Council on target

By Romy Stephens The Yarra Ranges Council is on track to meet its carbon emissions reduction target by next year, according to a council report.

The Climate Action Initiative Interim Report was supported by Councillors at their 10 September meeting.

It highlighted that the council is set to meet its target of reducing carbon emissions from Council activities by 30 per cent ? on the year 2000 levels ? by next year.

The report also outlined projects that have taken place since the council adopted it’s Adapting to a Changing Climate and Energy Future plan seven years ago.

Such projects included the installation of 6000 new LED street lights and over 4000 rooftop solar panels.

The influx of these projects has seen renewable energy power a quarter of electricity use in the Yarra Ranges and over $1 million dollars saved every year since the climate plan was first introduced.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said he hoped the council’s actions would inspire others to take climate action.

“I am proud of the work Yarra Ranges Council has already been doing and our commitment to the Adapting to a Changing Climate and Energy Future Plan,” he said.

“As part of the Local Government sector, Yarra Ranges Council has an opportunity to lead by example and influence other levels of government and members of the community.

“If we can save money while reducing emissions dramatically, others can too.”

The report also showed current and upcoming projects that are expected to make further financial savings and help the council reach zero net emissions by 2050.

Projects included replacing major road street lights with LEDs ? starting this month ? and the commitment to a regional power partnership with several other local councils.

It’s expected the partnership will allow renewable energy to be sourced at a cheaper bulk price and help meet electricity needs at all times.

The prospect of local job creation and community-owned solar was also on the table with the report revealing that investigations were underway to convert closed landfill sites into solar farms.

Andrew McKernan opposed the motion to support the report. He said the report needed to focus on more than just the energy aspect of climate change.

“This document encapsulates the good things Council has done on energy consumption, but it leaves environment out of it, it leaves water out,” he said.

“It needs to be a whole business approach.”

Meanwhile, the owner of Warburton Holiday Park and Vice President of Warburton Advancement League, David Crout, supported the report findings.

He said his holiday park had reduced carbon emissions, by installing solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point, thanks to the leadership of the council.

“It’s refreshing to see council saying it’s going to make a change but also getting on with the job,” he said.

“I’d say all these climate action plans that we’ve made at our park come as a result of the leadership provided by this council.”

The report also mentioned that the council is working to develop an updated climate plan for next year and beyond.

Help shape hall future

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges Council is inviting the community to help shape the future of the Wandin East Sports Hall and its potential development, following a feasibility study run earlier this year.

Council commissioned a feasibility study into the potential redevelopment of the Wandin East Sports Hall, to address a declining usage rate and rectify shortfalls with the hall.

Some of the shortfalls of the current hall, identified by current and potential user groups, include a need for new amenities to replace out-dated spaces in the hall, to accommodate new sports, larger visitor numbers and sporting opportunities for all genders There was also a lack of foyer space for visitors to meet, socialise and prepare for activities in the hall, a need for a dedicated kitchen area and a lack of shared office space for planning activities and carrying out admin duties.

Director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis, said the feasibility study outlined options to improve the hall and make it more user-friendly for community and sporting groups.

“We know that residents love their local halls - they’re places where we train, play, make friends and meet for community events,” Mr Varmalis said.

“But we also know that the Wandin East Sports Hall isn’t quite meeting the needs of our community.

“Our feasibility study suggests possible redevelopments so we can better meet those needs, including new change rooms, new entry, meeting space, kitchen area, office space, toilets, umpire’s change rooms, new disabled

toilet and new storage spaces.

“Now that the study is done and we have proposal coming together, we’d love to hear from the community and gather their thoughts about this proposed redevelopment.”

Submissions will be considered by council’s

Recreation and Active Living Team before and planning and design work begins on the project.

Submissions close at midnight on Sunday 13 October. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/2mjQDQG

Helping out with organ donation

By Derek Schlennstedt Talking to families donating the organs of their loved one might seem to make for a difficult day, but for some nurses it’s part of a reality that makes their job worth doing.

“It’s an option to give families some comfort by giving them information about organ donation,” Kristen Wilmott, a specialist nursing co-ordinator with DonateLife Victoria, said.

“If they believe that aligns with their loved one’s wishes then we continue to go forward.

“Quite often its brings them comfort, being offered something out of nothing...it’s a silver lining."

Ms Wilmott’s role is state-based, but lately she has been spending some time at the Angliss Hospital in Ferntree Gully, where organ donation is now possible thanks to a new intensive care unit.

Victoria has more organ donors than any other state and last year saw a record number of organ donors at 193, up from 148 the previous year.

This meant organ transplantation surgery saved 529 lives.

“With the Angliss Hospital opening an intensive care unit, it means we can facilitate organ donation,” Ms Willmott said.

“Angliss has been recognised as a growing health provider and we want to be able to offer and provide best practice.

“It’s giving people that option.”

Nursing co-ordinators such as Ms Wilmott facilitate the organ donation process by talking to families about consent, arranging for organs and tissues to be tested for compatibility with potential recipients, organising operating theatres and liaising with intensive care staff and surgeons.

Ms Willmott said her job was rewarding and diverse.

“We can be placed in any hospital in Victoria at a moment’s notice, but to talk with people and make donation happen is extraordinary,” she said.

Will Michael be the man?

By Jed Lanyon Healesville resident Michael Hardinge may soon take on the role as president of the Rotary Club of Healesville.

“I’m really excited. It’s not something that I was expecting coming into the club, but it’s really refreshing,” he said.

“At this stage, unless anyone else puts their hand up, I’ll go through as next year’s president.”

Mr Hardinge has been involved with Rotary for two years and is currently the youth team leader.

His term as president would begin in July next year at the end of Sam Halim’s term.

“There’s so many years of experience and knowledge in Rotary and for them to have faith in me to bring some fresh ideas to the table and also guide the next generation of Rotary is quite exciting,” Mr Hardinge said.

“I’m very honoured, but I also realise there’s a lot of work to do.”

Mr Hardinge said that Rotary provides him with the opportunity to interact with many people within his community who are under-

taking great local projects.

“I feel like a lot of young people are missing that element of community service in their lives.

“A lot of people these days might be very socially minded and may want to make a difference, but they don’t necessarily know how to, other than sharing their thoughts on social media.

“Organisations like Rotary are a great way to give something back to the community and I think that’s what I enjoy most about it.

“A lot of people see Rotary and they think of things like barbecues and selling raffle tickets, but there’s so much we do both in the local community and internationally.

Mr Hardinge shared that Rotary’s Milking Cow and Goat Project is currently helping boost food security in Kenya.

Another project that Healesville Rotary supports is Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) where sick children are flown to Australia to receive medical treatment that may be unavailable to them in their home country.

“That’s one project that I really like, but there’s so many aspects to Rotary and there really is something for everyone.”

Preschool helps social skills with special excursion

By Jed Lanyon Marysville Preschool held a special excursion on Friday 13 September when they visited Badger Creek Preschool for the day.

The aim behind joining the classes was to help expose the children and their parents to new people and families in the area.

Badger Creek Preschool teacher Heather Jenkins said, “Part of the early years framework is for children to gain a sense of belonging to communities and groups and both school’s thought this would be it a great experience for all the children.”

The kindergarten held an interactive theatre show and then paired a Marysville child with a Badger Creek child to give them a tour of the kindergarten.

“They have a very small base, so they don’t have a lot of exposure to other children,” Ms Jenkins said.

“But it’s also a chance for my children to meet and engage with other families.”

Ms Jenkins said it was also a great opportunity to ease the nerves of one Badger Creek child, who will be moving to the Marysville kindergarten soon.

“It’ll be a good little transition for him,” she said.

“It’s good for them to be exposed to children who they’re not familiar with but having been in a similar learning environment.”

But Ms Jenkins said it was also a valuable experience for the kindergarten staff.

“It’s also good for us to bounce off each other and share ideas about what they do at their kindergarten and the things that they participate in.”

Ms Jenkins said the idea for the excursion came about through her relationship with one of the Marysville teachers.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

All aboard the fun train There will be plenty of opportunities for families to jump on board a heritage train and go for a ride at the Yarra Valley Railway over the next few months.

The railway is hosting school holiday rides on the fully restored 22RM Walker Railmotor train which was originally built for the railway in the mid-1900s and has since been restored to its former glory.

Adults and children can take a step back in time as the train takes them through the scenic surrounds of the Yarra Valley.

The ride begins in Healesville and travels across about 4.5km of restored railway.

It passes through the Historic Tunnel before coming to an end at TarraWarra Estate.

Trains will depart on certain days from 22 September to 6 October.

For those who are slightly more daring, the railway is also bringing two spooktacular Halloween events in late October.

The Ghost Train and Little Train of Spooks (suitable for preschool kids) are set to leave riders on the edge of their seats.

Prizes will also be awarded for the best costumes.

The Yarra Valley Railway is a volunteer nonfor-profit community-based organisation that is restoring the railway between Healesville and Yarra Glen.

With the Healesville to TarraWarra section complete, train rides are running frequently and the railway is working towards restoring the rest of the track.

The fully restored 22RM Walker Railmotor train.

The train takes riders through the scenic surrounds of the Yarra Valley.

The Yarra Valley Railway said its vision is to completely restore and operate heritage rail services, including railmotors, diesel and steam locomotive-hauled trains, between Yarra Glen and Healesville.

For more information or to book tickets, visit www.yvr.org.au.

Eastland visitors will get the chance to blast off into space this school holidays as Spaceland comes to the shopping centre.

The activity space will run for two weeks and features a range of activities that are sure to take attendees on an intergalactic journey, including planets, rockets, space treasure and more.

There will be six different galactic games to keep young minds entertained.

The Asteroid Toss Game involves throwing asteroids at targets, while young minds will get to work as they piece together a planet during the Planet Puzzle.

Visitors can also test strength on a rocket launcher, spot star formations through a telescope, venture into a galaxy of slime and play black hole mind games.

The creative space explorers will get the chance to create a rocket or galaxy sun catcher and get hands-on with the interactive solar system.

Spaceland organisers claim the activity space can help with learning as it has been created to challenge kids as they venture through.

With each challenge, comes a clue to move across to the next challenge, finishing with a reward on exit.

The Space Matter activity also allows kids to interact with the solar system, learning the name's of each planet and its location relative to the sun.

The event is suitable for ages 4-12 and although it is a free event, there will be an opportunity to provide an optional donation to the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.

Visitors will find Spaceland on Level 1 of Eastland's Central Mall, outside Commonwealth Bank.

The event will run from 23 September to 6 October. For more information visit eastland. com.au/schoolholidays.

ENTERTAINMENT

Field Days’ 50th birthday

By Romy Stephens Fifty years ago, the Wandin Silvan Field Days festival came to life.

Always a popular event among locals, it originally hosted a small number of tractors and farm machinery with a couple of white tents scattered throughout a single oval.

Gruyere farmer Peter Burgi is one of two people still around that attended the first festival in 1969.

He recalled a different scene from what visitors will see at the festival today.

“It was just a circle of exhibitors around the East Wandin Cricket Ground,” he said.

“It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky.

“It was primarily designed to show off the new equipment that was available, more of a machinery field day.”

The event originally started as a means for people to source information and network with others in the industry.

“When we first started there was no internet and no mobile phones so you had to work to get your information,” Mr Burgi said.

“You could come along to the field days and talk to the people that were selling things and compare them on the site.”

Wind the clock forward to today and the festival has grown into a much larger event, not only for the agriculture and horticulture industry but also other types of businesses and even families.

“It’s changed from purely a farmers’ day to cater for women and children and for people that don’t have the interest in farming,” Mr Burgi said.

This year the festival is back to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary.

The Wandin Silvan Field Day Fesitval during the 1970s.

Early days of the Wandin Silvan Field Day Festival.

Upon arrival at this year’s event, visitors will still notice the distinct horticultural and farm machinery theme that has become key to the festival.

A wide range of exhibitors will attend from across the country to display farm machinery, light industrial equipment, motor vehicles, irrigation equipment and water tanks, plus information on the latest pest and weed control, fertilisers and chemicals.

Those attending will not only see the latest in farm machinery, technology and related services but also have the chance to network with others in the industry.

Meanwhile, it’s expected some of the old machinery and former exhibitors and committee members will attend to help celebrate the special milestone.

The Heritage Draught Horse Club will attend to display the use of Draught horses. ment to have kept the social aspect of the event going for such a long time.

“Fifty years in life is a bit of a milestone. To be able to run it for 50 years continually is a pretty fair effort,” he said. “(I enjoy) meeting people that you don’t see on a regular basis...talking to the exhibitors that you’ve probably known for many years.

“I’ve made some very good friends over the years.”

The 50th Wandin Silvan Field Days will be held on 11 and 12 October at the Wandin East Recreation Reserve in Wandin East.

Per Ardua Ad Astra one hell of a ride for Pitt and crew

An emerging street artist

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.

While the exhibition features some prominent artists who have been finalists for several years, one Melbourne artist, Kirpy, is exhibiting for the very first time.

Kirpy painted Australian Tennis star Dylan Alcott’s portrait and was named as a finalist for the 2019 Archibald Prize.

“It was amazing, it’s quite a feat as I still consider myself an emerging artist... It’s definitely a step up,” Kirpy said.

“It’s great to have a painting hanging at a solid institution like Tarrawarra ... It’s great exposure.”

Kirpy’s upcoming exhibition titled Symbiotic Systems at the Port Jackson Press Gallery from 26 September.

But the event is not just for those who are interested in agriculture and horticulture - organisers said there would also be plenty for the entire family to do.

The Information and Lifestyle Pavillion will host special interest exhibitors selling a range of different things such as food, wine, craft, nursery produce, clothing, jewellery and much more.

The Heritage Draught Horse Club will attend to display and promote the use of draught horses in bygone days.

Children won’t be left to twiddle their thumbs, with a pet show, snake pit, pony rides and an animal nursery among the activities to keep them entertained.

As much as the festival has changed over the years, Mr Burgi said it was a big achieve-

Movies at Healesville and Warburton

Ad Astra is a deeply-affecting, atmospheric and superbly-paced science fiction character drama in the meditative tradition of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris.

Veteran astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) must travel to the edge of the solar system to find his lost father and prevent a potentially world-ending catastrophe.

The peril, both physical and bureaucratic, steadily escalates, but so does the isolation. As Roy ventures farther into the solar system, the distractions and people around him dwindle, and the sparse sound design and claustrophobic settings reflect his growing loneliness. Even

across such vast interplanetary distances, the drama scales down and grows ever more personal, elegantly exploring themes of emotional repression and a child’s desperation to reconcile with his family.

The world-building is subtle but compelling, depicting a colonised cosmos swamped by corporate franchises and riddled with pirates and warring factions.

The only significant problem is Pitt’s persistent narration. His commentary describes moods and perspectives that are evident from the imagery and atmosphere of the scene, which feels patronising (and is reminiscent of Harrison Ford’s much-derided narration in the theatrical cut of Blade Runner).

Ad Astra is an enthralling, poignant drama that deftly balances cosmic scope with an intimate personal focus. - Seth Lukas Hynes

A famous flag for Doves

By Nick Creely There was never a moment of comfort in Sunday's AFL Outer East Division 1 senior football grand at Woori Yallock, but it was Doveton who pipped Pakenham in an epic grand final in front of a monster crowd, 9.7 (61) to 8.7 (55).

In a highly contested game - full of rapid momentum-swings - it took a moment of magic from Doves skipper Matthew Stapleton to seal the deal with just minutes left on the clock, launching a late goal from deep in the pocket from 45 metres out in front of a vocal Lions crowd to kick the sealing goal.

It was a moment the Doves faithful will never forget, helping the previously embattled club to its first senior flag since 2005, but it was just one of many defining moments in an absorbing battle.

The match was a pure slog early, with both sides looking to crack into the contest and keep the game as tight as possible, and at quarter time the Doves took in a four-point lead, but

could have been further ahead had it not been for some errant kicking at goal.

Tyson Bellinger got the Doves off to the perfect start to the second quarter, kicking a goal on the run after an impressive bit of clearance work from Mitch Cotter, and star Lachie Batten (best afield) continued his strong start by slamming on two goals within just a minute to surge his side clear.

But the Lions fought back - spurred by some excellent defensive efforts and a desire to use the width of the ground to find space to trim the margin back to nine points at the major break.

There were some danger signs for the Lions early in the third, with Batten kicking his fourth goal, but a Jake Thompson ripper sent the Pakenham faithful wild, before the Lions controlled the remainder of the quarter as Darcy Hope started to become a force up forward.

Hope - who began to turn the game at stages in the third term - drew a free kick to begin

the last quarter, roosting the ball from 50 out to send the Lions in front, and all of a sudden, the contest had reverted back to a highly contested slog.

With the vocal crowd growing in voice, some superb ball movement from the Doves saw Sean Kelleher mark the ball in the goal square and convert his major to see his side back in the lead, and over the course of the next 10 minutes, not one point was scored with Daniel Charles' side looking to lock the game away.

The Lions peppered the goal - looking to somehow find the match winning major - but skipper Stapleton provided that one defining moment, finding some space on the boundary line, and with nerves of steel, kicked his side clear in a moment that will go down in Doves folklore.

In the reserves, Pakenham snared a flag, roaring home against Mount Evelyn, 10.7 (67) to 9.4 (58), while Officer stormed home against the Lions in the under 18s, 7.4 (46) to 6.7 (43).

Rovers’ stunning grand final victory was a real thriller

By Romy Stephens The Mount Evelyn Football Netball Club's Division 1 A Grade netball side claimed premiership victory over the weekend with a thrilling 32-29 win over the Monbulk Hawks at Woori Yallock.

The hard-fought three-goal victory for the Rovers was reflective of the high-intensity netball that was on display for the entire four quarters.

Finals nerves appeared to strike both sides early on with a few turnovers at both ends of the court seeing nothing separate the two at quarter-time ? both scoring eight goals each.

An enthralling battle between Mobulk's star goal shooter Stephanie Puopolo and Mount Evelyn coach and goal keeper Kaitlyn Black ramped up during the second term.

But it was the Rovers' defender that used her height to capitalise on missed shots at goal, with her numerous rebounds helping the Rovers take a one-goal lead into half-time.

The high-intensity clash continued throughout the second half, with both sides causing havoc in defence and sparking turnovers.

However, the patience of the Rovers soon started to pay off. They took their time working it into the goal ring and extended their lead out to four goals at the end of the third quarter.

But a last-minute wave of momentum from the Hawks during the final term soon brought the crowd into the game and the pressure intensified.

The Hawks reduce the margin to within two goals and looked as though they were going to come back and steal the win.

But the characteristic patience of the Rovers that was on display all day allowed them to hold on until the final siren sounded.

Mt Evelyn coach Kaitlyn Black ? who was also the league best and fairest ? said that despite having beaten Monbulk every time this season, she knew the grand final win was going to be a tough task.

"We've beaten them five out of five times now but we just knew everything had to fall our way for that to happen, it wasn't going to be an easy walkover.

"For us to hold our nerve there at the end, I'm so proud of the girls."

The win marked a breakthrough season from the Rovers, who didn't even make finals last year.

Kaitlyn attributed the change to consistency throughout the entire season.

"Last year we had a squad of nine and then we lost two girls and I got pulled out due to a different league and we were constantly having to fill spots on the court," she said.

"When we got our full team back at the end of the year we won all of our games but it was too little too late.

"This year, we just had the same eight girls every week and it just made a huge difference.

"Everyone knew how to play together and wanted to be there for each other."

It wasn't all celebrations for Mt Evelyn on Sunday, with the Football club's Reserves side losing the Grand Final against Pakenham 10.7 (67) to 9.4 (58).

The Rovers were leading by 19 points at the start of the final quarter but unlike their A Grade netball side, couldn't withstand a fightback from the Lions.

Futsal players heading off to Spain

By Jed Lanyon Players from Healesville Futsal Club's Little Strikers Academy have earned the opportunity to represent Australia playing futsal in Barcelona, Spain next year.

The players will learn from top European coaches to further their skills in the fast growing sport of futsal.

Futsal is commonly referred to as indoor soccer. The game features five players to a team playing with a smaller ball. It is often faster paced than traditional football.

Futsal player Maddie was fortunate enough to compete in Spain earlier this year and is now looking forward to sharing that experience with her Healesville teammates next year.

"It was awesome and an amazing experience. They'll love meeting new people, playing futsal and just having fun.

Maddie's teammate Charli said she enjoys being part of a team environment and was excited to learn that she would be going to Spain.

"When I found out, I happy cried, and I never do that," Charli said.

"I just like helping each other to score goals.

And when you win, you get to celebrate with the whole team."

Charli became hooked on the sport after a futsal presentation at her primary school.

Maddie said that it would be an 'amazing privilege' to wear the green and gold for Australia, while Charli said that she would feel a

little bit of pressure for the occasion.

They will be facing Brazil, England, the United States and local Spanish teams.

Healesville Futsal Club coach Steven Campbell said this is will be a wonderful opportunity for his players to learn from some of the best futsal players in the world.

"Like anything in life, it's all about experience ... When they go to Spain, they're going to be challenged on the way they think about every aspect of the game.

Mr Cambpell said the team has set up a Go Fund Me campaign in order to help mitigate some of the costs facing the players and their families.

"Each of the kids, need to get about $5000 each. There's six or seven kids going so every

Flying Scot

Gunning for glory

By Ron Hottes

By John Wood Cold weather greeted the competitors at the Woods Point Gun Club for the Maori Creek September Championships.

Shooters from as far as Bright, Morwell, Melbourne, the Upper Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula attended and went straight into the traditional Eye Opener.

Phillip Desmond and Cranky McCall shared the AA Grade cash 15/15, with Allan Kidd taking the A Grade outright also with 15/15. Chuck Lay's 15/15 in B Grade gave him a handy cash prize, while Justin Broderick welcomed his win in C Grade 12/15.

The first Championship event was the continental 30 targets. It proved a difficult event with targets thrown in random horizontal and vertical directions.

After some keen competition, Daniel Chinn managed the only perfect score - 30/30 - to take the sash and AA Grade outright. Andrew Ferrari was second in AA Grade. A Grade was a good win for David Allen 28/30 from Allan Kidd second. B Grade saw Kirsten Chinn win, 27/30, with Steven Howlett second. Justin Broderick took C Grade 19/30 from Tom Apps after a short shoot off with Jodie Stockdale.

Event three was a 20 target hHandicap with shooters ranging from 25 metres to 15 metres behind the trap machine.

Cameron Trevitt returned the best score of 18/20 to take the sash. David Allen, Daniel Chinn, Allan Kidd, Phillip Desmond and Jim West went into a shoot off for the minor places resulting in Allen second, Chinn third and West fourth.

A 25 target Maori Creek Tower completed the day.

The tower target is realised from 10 metres above the ground and from behind the competitor. Good eyes and quick reflexes are required for this difficult event.

Cold weather greeted the competitors at the Woods Point Gun Club for the Maori Creek September Championships.

Geoff Hill managed the only 25/25 to take the sash. Robert Bevis after a short shoot off won AA Grade 28/29 from Jim West second 27/29.

Kidd was the A Grade winner 22/25 from Allen 18/25.

Hill easily won B Grade 25/25 but John Legge had to battle Kirsten Chinn in a shoot off to claim B Grade second. C grade saw Broderick take a back seat to a fast finishing Tom Apps who finished 16/25 to Broderick's 12/25.

Daniel Chinn capped of a good day by taking the Frazer sponsored Maori Creek High

Gun with a final of 70/75.

Some trap problems occurred early in the day but the spare trap was put in place and only about 30 minutes of shooting time was lost.

With Cheryl Apps' hard work, and Ward and Broderick's BBQ skills there was a great lunch.

Club members and visiting shooters all chipped in on the day to make it another successful Woods Point shoot.

The next competition is the Bernie Elstrek Memorial on Sunday 27 October starting at 9.30am.

The home of golf is said to be Scotland.

So, it's only fitting that a born and bred Scotsman should win in Warburton Golf Club's 18 September stableford competition.

Neil Leckenby is one of Warburton Golf Club's most consistent members playing to, or near, his handicap most weeks.

Therefore, it is no surprise to learn that Neil snared the daily voucher with a neat and tidy 36 points.

The runner-up to 'Mr Consistency' was Paul Kennedy with 35 points, another one who rarely has a poor score.

In a crowded top of the field, balls only extended to 34.

The nearest the pin winners were Happy Gilmore (3rd), Dave Wappett (12th) and to CHB (11th).

Every year, around this time, the club hosts the Farrier's Cup in memory of Mick Cleary, a larger-than-life and popular member, who passed away too soon.

Many of Mick's friends also take part in the event.

The Hatt family are the driving force behind the Farrier's Cup and the Club Committee would like to publicly thank Dave, Tracey and the kids for their ongoing support of this much-anticipated event.

Winners on the day are not as important as the reason the club holds the event, but for the record, David-Lever took the A Grade honours, with a solid +4. Fittingly, Mitch-Hatt grabbed the B Grade voucher, scoring a +2.

Dave Wappett was the day's runner-up with a +3. Conditions were not easy, as balls ran all the way down to -1.

Hatty Senior snared a nice nearest the pin on the 9th, rounding off a fitting return for the Hatt family.

Other nearest the pin balls went to Senior Kempton (3rd), Pup Lever (5th), 'Old Man River' Alan Johnston (12th) and P.K. (15th).
