Walkers at risk There have been no answers for residents’ requests for better road crossing safety near Reefton following the removal of a pedestrian bridge almost three years ago.

The removal of the McMahon’s Creek bridge

by VicRoads in July 2017 meant that no path exists on Woods Point Road over McMahons Creek for local residents.

Woods Point Road is shared by trucks, buses and other motorists, putting pedestrians at

risk who must walk along a narrow road shoulder to cross McMahons Creek.

Residents have expressed their concerns about the lack of pedestrian facilities and safety issues that have resulted for schoolchildren and the community. These concerns were echoed by Yarra Ranges council at their recent meeting on 25 February.

Reefton/McMahons Creek Action Group member Phil Molin expressed his frustrations over the ongoing issue, referring to the road as a ‘death trap’.

KEEP YOUR MACHINERY RUNNING STRONG

“It virtually cuts the community in half ...

We just can’t get over there. It’s unsafe. Somebody is going to die on that bridge.”

O’Shannassy Ward Councillor, Jim Child, says that council will continue to request for the reinstatement of the pedestrian bridge amid the safety concerns.

“It’s been three years, and this is an accident waiting to happen,” Cr Child said.

“The community continues to raise their concerns with the pedestrian safety issues on Woods Point Road, so we’ve written again to

the Department of Transport advocating for the reinstatement of the bridge.

“To this point the department is yet to prioritise the project for funding, which would come in at a cost of around $200,000. We think this is a modest amount given the real safety concerns.”

Council moved a motion at last week’s meeting to again write to the department of transport and relevant ministers seeking urgent action on the reinstatement of the pedestrian bridge.

Bowlers help mates

By Jed Lanyon Healesville Bowls Club has held a fundraiser to help support Mallacoota Inlet Bowls Club that suffered when devastating bushfires hit the region.

Thankfully the bowls club building survived the fires, but suffered damage from smoke.

However the greens were destroyed by falling embers as well as a surrounding fence.

Healesville Bowls Club decided to donate the funds raised from a recent corporate bowls night, totalling $1500.

A cheque was presented to Mallacoota Inlet Bowls Club president Allan Dobbin, who had travelled to Healesville to participate in the club’s Thursday social bowls on 27 February.

“The greens are completely gone,” Mr Dobbin said.

He said the costs to replace the greens exceeded $150,000 and that the club’s insurance would not cover the full amount.

Mr Dobbin is a former Yarra Glen and Launching Place resident as well as a real estate agent in Lilydale. He said he was happy with how the bowls community had rallied to support their club.

“We’ve had that many clubs reach out.

Cranbourne Bowling Club gave us $5000, Mooney Valley gave us $5000. Places like Lord Howe Island and Boneo Island donated. We’ve had people send us $1000 from everywhere.”

Mr Dobbin and wife Gayl were in Mallacoota throughout the worst of the fires, choosing not to evacuate.

“If we’re going to die, we’re going to die in our house,” he told Healesville Bowls Club members.

Mr Dobbin recalls his experience seeing a navy ship and helicopters flying through the area in the evacuation efforts.

“We thought we were in the Vietnam War or something. It was a very frightening thing.”

He said that he had only been able to leave the Mallacoota area about a fortnight ago and

that power had finally been restored to the town.

Healesville Bowls Club member Faye Mays said, “We wanted to play our part, be it a very small part, but every bit helps.”

“Those at the corporate bowls night all were putting their hand in their pocket and just adding more and more money ... We’re all

bowlers and we understand the importance of people getting together.”

Despite being located inside Victoria a short distance from New South Wales, Mallacoota Inlet Bowls Club play their competitions north of the border.

“We are the only Victorian club ever to make the New South Wales state finals,“ he joked.

Park home from Green Street rezone looks likely: MP Eildon MP Cindy McLeish has announced that the rezoning of Green Street in Healesville looks likely within 12 months, opening it up to the possibility of turning it into a public park and recreation zone.

A letter responding to Ms McLeish’s ongoing requests from the Assistant Treasurer Robin Scott stated that the land is being rezoned through the Government Land Planning Service.

“VicTrack has confirmed it would be willing to negotiate a private treaty sale with council while the rezoning process is underway,” the letter read.

“This may provide additional time for council to consider purchase of the land, noting that if the rezoning outcome favours the council’s request, the land value would be significantly lower.”

There has been uncertainty over the future of the land for years as Healesville residents were keen to see the site continue to be used as a community space for local markets.

“This is good news for the Healesville community,“ Ms McLeish said. “Green Street has been a well-used public space for people to

McLeish hopes the possibility for council to put in an offer for the land will increase if the rezone favours Yarra Ranges Shire Council.

“I am pleased to finally receive answers,” Ms McLeish said.

“I have been contacted by many residents expressing their concern in losing the land and enthusiasm for the Yarra Ranges Shire Council to take it over.

Green Street Healesville.

“I hope, with further discussion, Yarra Ranges Shire Council and Healesville residents will receive the outcome the community have been fighting for, for so long.”

A DELWP spokesperson told Star Mail, “The Minister for Planning has referred the proposal to rezone 13 Green St, Healesville, to the independent Government Land Standing Advisory

Picture: JED LANYON Committee for advice.

“This advisory committee will soon start a public notification and consultation process, enabling residents and stakeholders to make submissions. Once the advisory committee has considered the proposal, it will prepare a report for the minister.“

New era for Mail The local family newsmedia company, Star News Group, owned by the Thomas family since inception in 1909, last week took full ownership of the Mail after a 17 year partnership with Hartley Higgins and his family.

Paul Thomas and the Star News Group team have been managing the Mail for most of the last 17 years, so not much will change.

However, reflecting the move to full ownership, the masheads will be updated to reflect the Mail’s full affiliation now with Star News Group.

From this week your local Mail will be rebranded the Star Mail.

“We are proud of our 111-year history of providing quality news publications with hyper local news to our local communities,” Mr Thomas said.

“We play a vital role locally to bind communities, inform communities and provide a voice to communities. This role is now more important than ever with the pressures being placed by Government and the multinational digital organisations“ In addition to the more traditional mass media print advertising, the Star Mail team can provide marketing solutions across a range or media, including digital and social.

“We have some really sophisticated digital marketing products through our digital media marketing business, Star Media Platform. Our

team are the local marketing experts and together we want to make local businesses grow and local communities thrive.

“We have had an incredible media relationship with the Higgins family over the last 17 years with the Mail.

“Hartley invited our local media group into the Mail in 2002 and our two businesses had skills that blended well together and enabled the Mail to be a successful business and community voice for all that time.”

“I’d like to thank Hartley and his family for that opportunity afforded to us.

“We are excited about the continuing role the Star Mail will play locally and invite input from the community.”

Pet rego renewal coming up Star News Group managing director Paul Thomas.

Mail group’s long-time publisher signs off This edition of your Star Mail marks a new era in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges for publisher Star New Group, who have acquired North East Media’s share of the business.

The successful partnership for over 17 years has seen new mastheads and magazines launched, improved layouts and design introduced, awards won and more recently moves to greater digital offerings and social media services.

The Thomas family’s Star News Group, publisher of the Pakenham Gazette and many other additional suburban and regional publications, formed a partnership with us as publishers of Wangaratta Chronicle in 2002.

This followed 14 years of a former partnership with the Heyse family who published the Alexandra Standard and Yea Chronicle.

Geoff and his father Ken Heyes of Progress Press fame, contributed valuable industry knowledge and advice to that partnership and helped us build The Upper Yarra Mail, originally launched by Graham Colling as the Wandin and Monbulk Post.

From a small office in Yarra Junction, pretty much donated to us by Peter Robinson of Bell Real Estate - who remain our most supportive advertisers - we set about building a community newspaper from the heart of the Upper Yarra Shire with truly local coverage, and advertising to promote and build local traders.

A Shire Centenary Souvenir Edition in 1988 featured the community’s history and progress with commendations from the then Prime

down the valley for her singular contribution as Upper Yarra Mail editor, along with dedicated administration, sales and production staff who worked many late nights to despatch the paper to the printers.

From small beginnings, the company Yarra Valley Newspapers as it traded then, expanded in the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley and Healesville. This ultimately led to it acquiring Ranges Trader operated by Don Fitzgerald, and Mountain Views edited by Mardie Lambert.

Both had given their communities amazing service during trying financial times and will be remembered for their publishing dedication which ultimately came at a personal and financial cost.

There are others who will be remembered for outstanding contributions, including Sue Thompson and Kath Gannaway for local journalism, along with the current adverting and branch manager Tracey Aitken and her team.

We are proud of the progress and reputation of the Mail Newspapers which we have been fortunate enough to be involved in for over 30 years; our heartfelt appreciation goes out to current and former staff, readers and advertisers for your consistent support.

We wish Paul Thomas and the Star News Group every best wish as they continue to deliver effective and trusted publications to one of the best regions in this wonderful country.

Yarra Ranges Council is encouraging residents to keep the community and the wellbeing of their animals in mind, as pet registration renewals get closer.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Richard Higgins said that pet registration renewal on 10 April was a great time for owners to think about responsible pet ownership.

"We have a lot of pet owners in Yarra Ranges who do the right thing by their animals and others every day, which is incredibly heartening, but I want to emphasise that being a responsible owner isn't just about ensuring your pet is registered," he said.

"Your pet needs regular exercise, play time and mental stimulation - they need to be given good shelter from heat and rain, access to food and water, regular immunisations and vet check-ups and, of course, plenty of love.

"If you're taking your dog for a walk, you need to keep them on lead unless you're in one of our designated off-lead areas - that includes when you're walking there from the car.

"This is not just for the protection of other people, but for the wellbeing of your animal, too."

All dogs and cats must be microchipped and registered with the council by the age of three months.

Cats being registered for the first time must be desexed unless the owner is eligible for an Exemption.

"Registering your pets is crucially important - we regularly use pet microchip numbers to reunite owners with their lost pets with the assistance of Animal Aid," Cr Higgins said.

"Without microchipping and registration, it can be very difficult to reconnect lost animals with their owners, which would be an upsetting thought for most pet owners."

13 firebugs nabbed

By Taylah Eastwell Thirteen people have been charged with deliberately lighting fires in the Yarra Ranges throughout the 2020 Fire Danger Period.

Since the fire season commenced on 16 December last year, a total of 26 fires across the Yarra Ranges have been attended to by Mount Evelyn CFA and Mount Evelyn Police Fire Patrol. Three of these were in Mount Evelyn.

Leading Senior Constable Peter Hamilton of Mount Evelyn Police and Fire Patrol Unit said community awareness around fire danger has picked up.

“We went to a few fire meetings and had in excess of 40 at each meeting,” he said.

“The illegal burning off was right down.

If we compare it to the same last season we would have been out to close to 100 reported

fires, a lot of them being illegal burn offs. To date we are at 26.

According to Mr Hamilton, the smoke haze from East Gippsland that blanketed the Ranges could have played a part in the “quiet” fire season.

“It could’ve been because of the smoke that was around and the fires in the headlines,” he said.

“When you wake up and see smoke in the area you don’t really want to be lighting fires.

With the Fire Danger Period set to come to an end on March 10, Mr Hamilton warned that there is always a zero tolerance to fires in the Yarra Ranges.

“There’s still a week left of the fire season.

Just because its cooler doesn’t mean you can burn off, wait until the fire season has ended,” he said.

The Mount Evelyn Fire Patrol Unit and Mount Evelyn CFA have attended 26 fires across the Yarra Ranges during the Fire Danger Period, with 13 people charged with deliberately lighting fires.

The new purple lid bins will be gradually rolled out from next year.

New recycling system on its way

By Romy Stephens Yarra Ranges Council will work with the State Government to roll out a new recycling system over the next few years.

On 24 February, the State Government announced that Victoria will adopt a container deposit scheme and households will get a fourth bin for glass recycling.

The new purple lid bins will be gradually rolled out from next year, while the container deposit scheme will be designed and delivered in close consultation with councils so it can begin by 2023.

Yarra Ranges mayor Richard Higgins said waste and recycling services will continue operating as usual until at least 2023.

“Yarra Ranges will be working with the State Government as they begin planning their new recycling system for Victoria, this will take a number of years to implement,” he said.

“Any changes to waste and recycling collection, such as the potential introduction of new services or changes to existing services, will be communicated to residents well in advance.

“In the meantime, we’ll be working to ensure our future services continue to meet the

needs of the community and minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill.”

The State Government also announced, on 25 February, that a further $100 million will be spent on driving research into the recycling industry, expanding the local processing and manufacturing industry, creating more products from recyclable materials and supporting new local jobs.

The changes are all part of a $129 million package to reform kerbside recycling and 10year plan to reduce waste and create sustainable industries.

Have a say on shape of Yarra Ranges The community is invited to have its say on proposed adjustments to ward boundaries within the Yarra Ranges Shire Council.

The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is reviewing the ward boundaries of the municipality. Ward boundaries are adjusted so that the number of voters represented by each councillor is within 10 per cent of the local council average.

The review considers adjustments to the location of ward boundaries and will not consider the number of councillors or wards.

The VEC has proposed altering part of the ward boundaries of Billanook Ward, Chandler Ward, Chirnside Ward, Lyster Ward, Ryrie Ward and Streeton Ward.

Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately encouraged community members to get involved by reviewing the report and making a submission.

"A subdivision review helps uphold the principle of one vote, one value at the local government level," he said.

The VEC has released a preliminary report of the proposed changes and information on how to make a submission.

The report is available at vec.vic.gov.au or by calling 131 832.

Copies are also available for inspection at Yarra Ranges Shire Council offices.

A public hearing will be held at 5.30pm on Wednesday 25 March at Montrose Town Centre, 935 Mt Dandenong Tourist Road, Montrose for anyone who has requested to speak in support of their submission. Submissions must reach the VEC by 5pm on 18 March this year.

Submissions can be made online at vec.vic. gov.au, by email to yarraranges.review@vec. vic.gov.au or by post to the Victorian Electoral Commission, Level 11, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne 3000.

Sport grants Sporting clubs in Eastern Melbourne are now able to apply for grants to establish more opportunities for women and girls to participate in sport both on and off the field.

The 2019-20 Change Our Game Community Activation Grants Program supports the delivery of sector initiatives that bring together communities to showcase and celebrate the role of women and girls and further gender equality through sport and recreation.

Now in its third year, the program has so far enabled more than 95 community sport and recreation organisations to host events ranging from come-and-try days to community forums and educational sessions.

Rotary gives The Rotary Club of Wandin has donated $10,000 to the Bush Fire Appeal through the Rotary Club of Corryong.

The club has been raising funds over several weeks through the Wandin Custom Car and Bike Show, Australia Day breakfast and most recently a fundraiser at Mont De Lancey Homestead, which attracted 50 members of the Recreational Vehicle Fellowship of Rotarians.

Rotary Club of Wandin president Dennis Hoehne said the club wanted to donate funds directly to the affected community as he saw the devastation in the Corryong and Upper Murray district.

The Rotary Club of Corryong will distribute funds to those in need throughout the Upper Murray community.

Secretary of the Rotary Club of Corryong Doug Hill said, “On behalf of the Rotary Club of Corryong, and all of the Upper Murray residents affected by the bush fires, they wish to thank the Rotary Club of Wandin for their generous donation, and to assure you we will ensure the money will go to those most in need.”

Healing in local art

By Jed Lanyon Healesville artist and Taungerong Yorta Yorta man, Graham Patterson, has had his artwork put on display as part of the new Victorian Civil Administration Tribunal (VCAT) venue in Oakleigh.

The new VCAT facility opened its doors on 24 February and includes a Koori hearing

room, where Mr Patterson’s artwork is featured.

The work was commissioned especially for VCAT and will be featured both on the wall with a plaque explaining the work and as inserts under the glass top table in the centre of the room.

“The four circles in the corners represent a broken family. They are going towards the centre to come together,” Mr Patterson said.

The four blue circles and journey lines represent moving from place to place. The hands are symbols of respect, respect between different cultures. The colours are bright and happy to represent optimism and hope of families coming together.

Mr Patterson has had his artwork exhibited in Healesville’s Hearth Galleries.

Warburton Police is urging families to reach out for help and advice when it comes to family violence.

“Victoria Police take family violence very seriously and we deal with it in a timely manner to make sure we get results,” Warburton Sergeant Tom Wilkinson said.

“If there are concerns, if people do have issues within their home and if they don’t feel safe then speak out sooner rather than later.

“We’re here to assist and support families and we would like to do it prior to an incident escalating as we have seen in the media recently.“ Mr Wilkinson urges individuals to contact their local police station even if they’re just looking to gain some advice on an issue.

New winery on the way A new architectural landmark in the Yarra Valley is taking shape as the sculpture-like custom steel frame has been erected at Levantine Hill Estate.

The new building will serve as a state-of-the art winemaking facility and brand showcase to the Yarra Valley and beyond.

Levantine Hill’s new $20-plus million project is located along the Maroondah Highway, with its sculptural form comprising three levels, combining a winery, display and events space, as well as wine tasting and presentation areas.

The building has been personally designed by renowned Melbourne architect Karl Fender of Fender Katsalidis Architects and its soaring curved roof complements his existing design of the winery’s adjacent cellar door and restaurant.

Apart from aesthetic appeal, the building design incorporates the highest levels of environmentally sustainable principles. This includes the incorporation of a skylight along the roof and integrated openings for cooling and natural ventilation.

The winery’s exterior will feature carefully chosen materials that fit their environment like natural galvanised steel purlins and corrugated iron cladding, which reflect the cultivated natural surroundings of the Yarra Valley.

“We hope this winery makes a global statement from the Yarra Valley and continues to elevate the region as a world-class producer of fine wines,” said Samantha Jreissati, managing director of Levantine Hill.

“Our family has a long-standing history of grape growing in biblical lands of the Middle East. The story is larger than any one of us and this building is designed to be larger than life.

The idea is to provide an entire sensory experience in a similar manner as our wines,” Ms Jreissati said.

Crossing the river days. He was one of the first to be buried at the Yarra Glen cemetery.

Charles Myall, aged 25, met a similar fate in March the following year when he was crossing the log in company with two other men. He was also under the influence of alcohol.

At the District Roads Board meeting at Eltham on 2 April 1867, Mr Tom Armstrong proposed that ... in consequence of several deaths that had taken place there through the insecurity of the crossings, [he recommended that a footbridge be erected] across the River Yarra to connect Burgoyne with Yering, and that the inhabitants in those localities were willing to contribute one-third of the cost if the two [road] boards would undertake to pay the

remainder. [Argus 5 Apr 1867].

The first bridge was installed by late 1869, but not without some protest. Alexander Donaldson of Kangaroo Ground stood up at the Eltham District Roads Board meeting in March 1869 to object that a bridge over the Yarra would divert traffic and commerce towards Lilydale and away from the route which passed through Eltham.

When built it was more than a footbridge, and well used: at a Council meeting in January 1870, Mr Cameron drew attention to the poor state of the approaches to the bridge ‘caused by large mobs of cattle being driven over it’.

By 1881 this first bridge was in a dangerous state to the point of being closed while the Shire Councils of Eltham and Lilydale disputed payment.

With payment settled, including input from the State Government, a new wooden bridge was opened by the MHR for Evelyn, Mr E. Cameron in April 1882.

The Yarra flats wetlands at Yering, known to the Wurundjeri people as Murrup Brarn, were a rich hunting ground for the First Australians.

Europeans settled here in 1838. The Ryrie brothers followed the paths created by the Aboriginal People from the Eltham area to Yering, descending the escarpment to the Yarra Valley via the track now known as Breakneck.

They crossed the river, with their cattle, in the vicinity of the current bridges and during the first 30 years of occupation this area became known as “the crossing place”.

For many years the river provided a watering place for herds of cattle which were driven on foot from outlying country stations to Melbourne markets, and from north-west regions to Gippsland.

Large trees were felled across the river at strategic places to provide a primitive bridge for pedestrians. Several people drowned as a result.

John Blair Hodgson, who was employed at Yering Station in 1866, had been drinking during the day at the store in Yarra Flats (now Yarra Glen).

He fell from the log whilst returning to the station but his body was not found for four

The second road bridge was deemed ready for replacement after the 1934 flood. This time it was built with steel girders at a greater height above the water. It was opened in October 1936.

The current road bridge, named after MHR Mr Vasey Houghton, was erected in 1999 as part of the Yarra Glen by-pass project. The 1936 bridge was preserved and is now an entrance to the Murrup Brarn Yarra Flats Billabongs.

French gift bids farewell

By Jed Lanyon It was an emotional day for Lilydale High School students as they bid farewell to French exchange students, who they had hosted for over two weeks.

The French students from Lycee Darchicourt in Henin-Beaumont and their Lilydale High School hosts attended an assembly on Wednesday 26 February to say their final goodbyes before jetting back home.

Prior to the trip to Australia, the French students came up with the idea to create a fundraiser for Zoos Victoria's Bushfire Emergency Wildlife Fund, upon learning of the devastating bushfires that hit the country.

An online fundraiser set up by the French students and teachers raised $2300.

Lycee Darchicourt English teacher Karine Fontaine told the Mail, "When we learned about the bushfires we were really moved and saddened, so we decided to act and create a fundraiser for Zoos Victoria.

She said that spending a day at Healesville Sanctuary was a highlight of the trip for her students.

Lilydale High School's Acting Head of Languages, Kelly Farrell said the fundraiser became an unexpected feature of the trip.

"Once you've hosted international visitors you watch how wondrous it is for them to see all these native animals that we take for granted. I think that has prompted them because they see the kangaroos, wombats and koalas as symbols of Australia."

Zoos Victoria relationship manager Lori Kravos, accepted the fundraising cheque and thanked the students for their efforts.

"We're so touched by the support Zoos Victoria has received from around the world. It's heart-warming to see these students, who are only in Australia for a short time, have wanted to do something to help."

Lycee Darchicourt teachers and students presenting a cheque to Zoos Victoria.

Ms Farrell said she previously worked at Lycee Darchicourt in the 90s, which helped forge the relationship between the two schools. She hopes experiences like this help to open the eyes of her students to other cultures.

"I enjoyed giving my students an authentic experience of talking to another young person. It's the idea that young people are young people from around the world; they listen to the same music and will have similar interests.

"With language learning, if you're doing it in a classroom, you can feel a bit disconnected.

Your teacher is an adult and they are not experiencing the same thing that you are experiencing."

While the students said goodbye, it won't be a for long for some as several Lilydale High students will travel to Henin-Beaumont in March to get a taste for France.

As the area is in close proximity to the Bel-

Picture: JED LANYON gium border, the Lilydale High students will be diving into some historical war teachings along the Western Front.

"We really can't wait for the Australian students to come over, so we can do our job to show them around and continue this friendship," Ms Fontaine said.

"I think creating a link between Australia and France is so great. They are creating friendships for life."

HOW TO STAY HOPEFUL IN A WORLD FULL OF BAD NEWS Read the Bible and find out the GOOD news of what God has in store for the earth and mankind.

To have the hope of living for ever in a trouble-free world gives comfort and assurance now.

God’s promise will SURELY come to pass so take up the offer!

Hoon alert Rest assured... there was no fire, just a spring clean for the bank on its birthday.

CFA at the bank Warburton residents may have been given a scare at the sight of a fire truck parked outside the Bendigo Bank spraying water over the building. Rest assured, local CFA members offered to pamper the old bank building ahead of its big 20th birthday celebrations and were not responding to an emergency situation.

Thanks firefighters Hoddles Creek Primary School visited their local CFA brigade with a message of gratitude for their efforts in protecting the community over the recent bushfire season.

Hoddles Creek teacher Kim Grogan said, “The CFA were absolutely delighted and humbled with our student’s recognition of their sacrifices made during the recent bushfires.”

The brigade was presented with several cards thanking and acknowledging them for their work.

“Thank you for fighting fires. Thank you for being brave and stepping out of your comfort zone,” one card read.

Cafe mural Watts River Cafe has unveiled a new mural created by local artist Paul Sonsie.

“Paul Sonsie is an amazing guy, he does a lot of work around town. We asked him to come up with the theme of Watts River,” Rick Allan of Watts River Cafe said.

“The response has been amazing, people love it.”

The mural depicts Watts River and surrounding local wildlife such as Kangaroos, cockatoos and lyrebirds.

Warburton Police have been dealing with incidents of hoon driving in the area.

Sergeant Tom Wilkinson is urging residents to come forward and work together after sightings of damage to roads as well as shredded tyres in Millgrove.

“Someone may have seen or heard something ... That type of driving is very dangerous.”

“It impacts on road safety and the amenity of the area as well ... This is not considered acceptable behaviour.

Mr Wilkinson said the station was unsure as to whether the drivers were local or coming from out of town and showing their disrespect.

“It doesn’t look god on our roads. We’re bet-

ter than that,” he said.

Mr Wilkinson said that the station is continuing to work to resolve hoon driving at Mt Donna Buang.

“I’ve been working with a committee with VicRoads and Parks Victoria... It’s god to see those agencies getting involved and working together.

“This is something that we can’t just approach with police services.

“We’re endeavouring to install barriers to manage the traffic in order to return it to its tourist destination status.

“The locals are frustrated with the inaction, but we are working towards a solution

The path is not currently accessible to the public, requiring the vehicle to be escorted by Parks Victoria. Residents hope this will convince the state government to invest in road upgrades for the area.

Yarra Valley women unite

By Jed Lanyon Women of the Yarra Valley will come together for the upcoming weekend to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) in Warburton.

Ten years ago, four Upper Yarra Valley friends established a quarterly event known as Women of Interest. Thanks to the commitment and hard work of Suyin Chan, Kerry Nicholas, Alison O’Brien and Anne O’Shaughnessy, many local women gained a voice as they shared their personal and professional stories in conversation with the community.

Women of Interest provided the opportunity for all to learn about the diverse invaluable contributions local women have made to society. Out of this project came the idea to create an annual celebration of IWD. It began in March 2012, when Julie Grogan joined the group. The five developed a successful annual IWD collaboration with Yarra Ranges Council, with large events being held in the Arts Centre.

This year the group has decided to hand over the banner to other women in the community to help shine a new light on women’s issues.

Over the weekend on 7-8 March, a variety of events will take place in celebration of IWD. On Saturday 7 March at 2.30pm, local women are invited to meet at Warburton’s Symphony 36 for an afternoon tea. Addressing the weekend’s theme of equality, there will be a discussion about Fulcrum Aid’s work in developing countries to help address inequality for women. (Contact Symphony 36 for more information).

Fulcrum Aid is a non-profit, relief and development organisation committed to resourcing local leaders within communities experiencing poverty and extreme inequality.

Fulcrum Aid director Verity Newnham said, “Despite significant progress in some parts of the world, women and girls continue to experience inequality and discrimination in many important parts of their lives, which can limit the choices and opportunities available to them.”

One of Fulcrum Aid’s programs is the Angatunyo Girls, which is a micro-enterprise project that provides teenage girls with a vocation, enabling them to remain in school and become financially independent.

Simple micro-businesses such as sewing uniforms for the local schools, making yo-

Louise Wigg, project leader for Upper Yarra Body Image Group said, “Women can come along and have a cup of tea or a glass of wine ... The idea is for women to come together and enjoy each other’s company,” she said.

“We want it to be a day where we as women can come together and support a project and hopefully empower other women who are less fortunate than us.”

On IWD on Sunday 8 March, another afternoon tea will take place at The Arts Cen-

tre hosted by the newly formed Women of Warburton (WOW). From 1.30pm, hear local women’s personal and professional stories and the roads they travelled to get there.

The event will include a discussion on how we can be our best selves and support one another, while enjoying qigong as well as local musicians and artists.

Event organiser Nicole Bechard said, “We’re doing this to provide a feast of different ways that women can celebrate women on this weekend.”

Ms Bechard explains that all are welcome to the afternoon tea.

“We know that there are men who support women as well, so our event is certainly open to men and women. That is something we want to make clear, because we need men to support us as well.

“One of the things I’m hearing is a call for women from this community to form greater links and to connect and support each other.”

As part of the celebrations, Yarra Ranges Council invites the community to gather in support of equality with a free showing of ‘On the Basis of Sex’ at 11.30am and ‘Hidden Figures’ at 2pm at The Memo and The Arts Centre in reverse order.

Loud and Luminous Warburton photographer Suzanne Phoenix will have her work displayed as part of a major International Women’s Day photography exhibition as hundreds of female photographers unite to promote greater gender equality and inclusion in the arts.

The Loud and Luminous project celebrates and recognises the important contributions of contemporary women photographers in Australia. The theme for 2020 is equality, echoing the United Nations sustainable development goals of ‘gender equality’ and ‘I am generation equality’.

The project will feature a four-day program of events in the lead up to International Women’s Day on Sunday 8 March, while a major print exhibition will later be held at Contact Sheet in Sydney throughout April.

It will include 100 inspiring and diverse photographic artists from across Australia aged between 10 and 92, including Ms Phoenix, whose artwork focuses on queer women artists and performers.

“I am incredibly honoured to be taking part in the Loud and Luminous exhibition this year,” Ms Phoenix said.

“The theme of equality means to me equity for all genders and sexualities and so I have selected a queer drag queen, Weird Alice, in my submission.”

Project co-curator Melissa Anderson said one of the main aims of Loud and Luminous is to bring people together for an inclusive discussion that celebrates diversity and promotes equality, equity and cultural change.

“This will be the third year that Australian photographers have come together to make a strong statement through their work,” Ms Anderson said. mailcommunity.com.au

“The stories told in Loud and Luminous 2020 will address important social issues, such as what equality is in global, gender, economic, social, cultural and environmental concepts— and what changes we need to make to achieve it.”

Empowering artist videos will be released in the lead up to the event. They can be accessed by visiting www.loudandluminous.com.au.

ENTERTAINMENT

Classic rock hits highway The Accelerators are bringing their Classic Highway Rock show to the Yarra Valley when they perform at Rochford Concert Lounge on Saturday 21 March.

Classic Highway Rock promises feelings of nostalgia, freedom and invites the audience to sing their hearts out like a backseat driver.

Band member and Healesville resident Jeff Jenkins shared his inspiration behind the cover show.

"I came up with the idea of a show where every song is about cars ... Ever since the invention of the automobile, people have been writing songs about them.

"So many people have written great songs about cars and their great connection to them ... Chuck Berry sang Maybelline, and half of Bruce Springsteen's songs have mentions of cars in them. Some people like to think of a car as a romantic motel on wheels.

Simon Rhodes, Aaron Burton, Jeff Jenkins, Jim Moody, Naree Newman and Jonno Zwart.

"You associate it with that first feeling of independence you get as a young person. And I thought what a fun show to put together. It's going to be a real dancing show. I really want to get

people up and dancing and having a good time.

"I can't wait to play a show in front of a real local crowd of Healesvillians. It's a very cool thing to see people in the audience you know

having a great time."

Festival’s tribute to French

By Jed Lanyon The 2020 Healesville Mini Film Festival will be paying tribute to French cinema.

This year marks the festival’s sixth year as the Yarra Ranges Film Society vice president and festival director Keith Wade hopes it will become a fixture for film-lovers in the region.

“The concept is that we have three films that are connected in some way,” Mr Wade said.

“In previous years they have been connected by the same director, this year we have chosen more modern films and the connection is that they are all French.

“I am a great proponent of seeing films in a cinema with a great crowd.”

Mr Wade believes cinema is at its best as a

shared experience between those watching.

“That’s what I like about having a whole day for it (a film festival), where we can talk about it and mix around.”

The event will feature guest speaker Paul Harris, who will introduce each film and answer questions following the session. Mr Harris has over 40 years of experience as a film critic.

The film festival will be showing Custody, Who You Think I Am, and Just To Be Sure.

The Healesville Mini Film Festival will take place at The Memo on 15 March. The event will feature a French themed buffet lunch. Mr Wade said places for lunch are going quickly.

Invisible Man’s clear quality The Invisible Man Starring Elisabeth Moss and Oliver JacksonCohen Rated MA15+ A taut, ingenious remake of the 1933 original, The Invisible Man is a masterwork of tight plotting and subtle, escalating dread.

After escaping her abusive relationship, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) begins to suspect that her ex-husband Adrian (Oliver JacksonCohen) has rendered himself invisible to torment her.

Moss delivers a riveting performance of tenacity and desperation, and writer-director Leigh Whannell plants us firmly in Cecilia’s frantic perspective.

Almost every scene feels claustrophobic, with the camera itself taking on a menacing

aura as the eyes of a predator. As disturbing clues fall into place, the film is made all the more excruciatingly tense by Cecilia’s (and our) powerlessness: we know that an invisible Adrian is abusing Cecilia, but she cannot prove it, and we can do nothing as Adrian’s cruelty and manipulation intensify and Cecilia’s family and friends reject her.

The sparse, harsh sound design and Benjamin Wallfisch’s droning electronic score amplify the film’s stressful atmosphere. The technological source of Adrian’s invisibility feels very plausible, and his unseen sadism functions as a stark allegory for the hidden abuse within many outwardly stable relationships.

A timely, harrowing update of a classic tale, The Invisible Man is the first great horror movie of the 2020s.

Garry Lewis and Anne O’Shaughnessy were handing out many sausages to Warburton locals.

Cake cut for bank birthday

By Jed Lanyon It was a big day for birthdays on Friday 28 February as Bendigo Community Bank celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Warburton branch and the 12th anniversary of the Yarra Junction branch.

Both branches celebrated in the streets with a free sausage sizzle and giveaways for Yarra Valley residents.

Both branches have helped contribute over $4 million in sponsorships handed out through community grants.

"It's been a long and fantastic day. Both Yarra junction and Warby have done the barbecues and it's just been magnificent and the community spirit has been great," Warburton branch chair Rod McKail said.

"We couldn't be happier. This part of the day was about our shareholders and our customers."

Mr McKail believes that around 400 sausages were distributed throughout the day between the two branches.

He thanked Warburton Primary School students who came down to sing happy birthday and enjoy some cake with staff.

"It's good to see how much we're appreciated."

Long-time branch staff member Ros Caneva had the honours of cutting the birthday cake, having worked at Bendigo Bank throughout its entire 20 year existence in the town.

One Warburton resident, Gina Baines, said she was there for the bank's opening 20 years ago.

"It was really exciting, we had been without

Long-time staff member Ros Caneva had the cake cutting honours.

Ms Baines pledged her savings in a long term deposit at the time of the opening, helping the bank in its formation.

Ms Baines said that she created an artwork from the opening, which has been on display in the bank ever since. mailcommunity.com.au

Warburton celebrates footy round

By Ron Hottes

Beck Mitchell crosses the final finish line in Miami after her seventh marathon for the week.

Pictures: COURTESY WORLD MARATHON CHALLENGE

Marathon achiever

By Taylah Eastwell When Beck Mitchell reflects on her teenage years as a troubled girl from Mount Evelyn, there wasn’t a thought in her 17-year-old mind that she might one day be an inspiration to youths in her very position.

But if every journey begins with a step, Ms Mitchell’s first steps up the stairs at Lilydale youth organisation Bridge Builders as a teen are to thank for the whirlwind adventure that just saw her run seven marathons across seven different continents in just seven days.

Now the Executive Officer and a youth worker at Bridge Builders, Ms Mitchell praised the organisation for changing her life during her teenage troubles and said her decision to compete in the World Marathon Challenge was about showing others that anything is possible.

Upon her return to Australia last Friday, Ms Mitchell can now proudly say she is just one of eight Australian women to ever conquer the challenge, raising $50,000 towards her $250,000 goal for Bridge Builders.

“I’m just some little kid from Mount Evelyn, no one knows where Mount Evelyn is. I grew up here on a farm and there are so many reasons why I shouldn’t have been able to do it but I got out there and did it anyway and I really hope that sends a message of hope to others that anything in life is possible whether you think it is or not,” she said.

“If you put your mind and your heart into it you can do anything. And I mean anything, because I just did it.

Embarking on an 85,000 kilometre round journey, Ms Mitchell ran over 300 kilometres while competing in marathons in Cape Town, the Antarctic, Perth, Dubai, Madrid and Brazil before breathing a sigh of relief upon sight of the final finish line in Miami, USA. Competitors spent 63 hours and 15 minutes of their seven day venture in the air attempting to recover before the next race in the next continent, only stopping in briefly at hotels to drop off luggage to be minded for a few hours while competing.

Beck Mitchell crosses the final finish line in Miami after her seventh marathon for the week.

Ms Mitchell battles the conditions to run 42.2 kilometres in the Antarctic.

The gruelling conditions in some continents meant runners had to acclimatise rapidly, boarding the plane in an icy minus 25 degree celcius in the Antarctic and finding themselves at the starting line in blistering 36 degree heat in Brazil within a matter of days.

But for Ms Mitchell, her intense training in the lead up to the challenge prepared her for the worst.

“I actually managed quite well. I did a lot of training back here in different temperatures deliberately. One week I was running up in the Dandenongs and its minus two and snowing and the following week I ran an ultramarathon in Alice Springs in the desert. I really put my body through its paces beforehand because I was predicting that the weather was going to be a challenge,” she said.

Running on ice in gale force winds, however, was not something Ms Mitchell could prepare for at home, admitting that she thought she was going to die in the relentless race in the Antarctic.

“The conditions in the Antarctic wouldn’t allow our plane to land so our pilot wouldn’t fly, so we had to fly down in a Russian cargo plane that’s not built for people. Just going to those conditions for a day trip would be one thing but we’re performing, running a marathon is like putting your body to the ultimate

test and I’m out there doing that in ridiculous temperatures.

“I did feel a little bit like a giraffe at some points, my legs were just going all over the place and it was really slippery,” she laughed.

But there was no time to rest. Ms Mitchell admits by the third and fourth races her body just wanted to give up.

“I calculated in the seven days I probably had 22 hours sleep on the plane. There were moments when I cried a lot of tears and just had to kind of keep pushing forward,” she said.

It was running for a cause that fuelled the fire inside Ms Mitchell that kept her going. She wrote the name of a person who had lost their life to suicide on her left arm for each race and had a list of people that have changed her life on her right.

“I wasn’t just running for me I was running for the charity, I was running for people who have lost their lives to suicide and running for a purpose is what got me through,” she explained.

The money raised will be put towards programs at Bridge Builders to continue improving the lives of youths.

The Warburton Golf Club enjoyed their Stableford round on Wednesday 26 February.

With the AFL season upon us, the day was footy themed.

The club was joined by two very special guests, Terry Daniher and Tony Shaw who were listed as playing for The Magpies or The Bombers for obvious reasons.

Although the weather did not co-operate for much of the morning, a great time was had by those stalwarts who completed their round - although half of the field did not.

For the record, Peter Fox was the individual winner with 41 exceptional points considering the conditions.

The runner up prize went to Paul Mason, gathering 37 points (which is pretty special, considering he plays off -1).

Balls got all the way down to 32, a sure sign of the tough challenge it was.

Nearest the pins went to Mr. Hibbert (3rd), Barry Maltman (9th), Ossie McClay (12th), Noel Cross ( 15th again) and to Phil Garside ( 2nd shot on the 1st.)

Although it hurts the scribe greatly to report, the Magpies won, with a Stableford average of 29.43 compared to The Bombers 27.64.

Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come.

In the twilight competition, results improved dramatically under fairer skies.

Steuart Hawke was this week’s winner with 22 points.

Steuart only won on a countback to Steve Patrick, who also accrued 22 points, which was helped by a hole-in-one on the 12th hole.

Steve collected a sizeable ‘booty’ for his great shot, so coming second on the night may not have bothered him. Congratulations Steve, from all at the club.

Balls got down to 18.

Nearest the pins went to Steve Patrick (12th), Neil Leckenby (15th) and to SteuartHawke (17th).

It was all in all a special night, made all the more special by an eagle on the 11th by Peter Fox. The club played their 2-person Ambrose on Saturday 29 February.

After attending the club’s AGM, a healthy field played but could not beat Captain Cross and Vice Captain Lockey who scored an impressive nett 59.6.

Paul Kennedy and ex-member Chris Fall took out runner up honours, with nett 62.75.

Pairs scoring 65, or better, got a ball.

Nearest the pin winners were Sam Dennis (3rd), Paul Mason (5th), Luke Patrick (9th & 15th) & club champion “Willo“ (12th).

Hradsky running hot at Healesville

By Karl Hradsky The Healesville Social Golf Club stroke was played for a second weekend in a row, with Karl Hradsky (13) hitting a net 66 for first place.

Wayne Ware (13) came in second with 68 net and third on countback was Chris Handasyde (4) scoring 70 net.

The nearest the pins were hit by Wayne Fenner, Wayne Ware and two by Karl Hradsky.

The previous week's Stroke Day winner was mailcommunity.com.au

Karl Hradsky (14), with a net score of 65.

Coming in second was Chris Handasyde (6) with a net 66, while Laurie Tormey (12) finished third with a net 69.

The RACV Country Club held their four round Golf Championship over the past two weekends.

A Grade and overall Club Champion was Glen Newbery.

B Grade winner was Dale Phillips.

C Grade winner was John Stewart.

The club’s annual results are as follows: Club Champion and A-Grade winner - Chris Handasyde B-Grade winner - Craig Stewart Singles champion - Chris Handasyde Double champions - Wayne Fenner and Vince Gillett Trophy day playoff winner - Craig Stewart Most consistent player for the year - Tom Carroll Eclectic winner - Tom Carroll.

Bowlers have the edge

By Anthony Sequeira On a warm sunny day in the Yarra Valley cricketers began their second last day of play before finals.

Bowlers enjoyed the best of conditions as across the board most teams were bowled out for scores below 150.

In the Strachan Shield, Yarra Junction bowlers dominated Healesville before passing them on day one.

Eagles trio of Kevin Bomford, Caleb Hrabe and Terry Ottrey combined to rip through the Bloods in quick time, with Dale Senior the only bat to offer any resistance as Healesville were bowled out for just 69.

Yarra Junction now sit 3/123 overnight and will be eyeing an outright victory on day two.

In raft blue Coldstream were skittled by Wandin for 136 in a tough days play. Middle order pair of Carl Dikschie and Aaron Steel added some substance to the score, however Luke Chandler kept things in check with four wickets while Hamish Lamont took two.

Yarra Junction managed just one more than Coldstream as they were rolled for 137.

The Eagles openers were careful early and both found themselves in the sheds after making useful starts.

Tyson Gastket kept the score ticking along

while Riley Foley batted maturely through the middle of the innings.

Entering the bowling attack late, Jack Drummond ripped through the Eagles middle to late order as he snared a six wicket haul, destroying the work of the Eagles top order. Healesville were left needing 138 to win next week.

Raft gold saw Woori Yallock travel to Marysville where they recorded a comfortable win.

The Marysville batsmen struggled against disciplined bowling with only Graeme Mitchell passing double figures as he scored over half of Marysvilles total.

Adam Dunn was in fine form as he collected five wickets. Dunn was well supported by Jason Young who took three.

In reply, the Tigers romped to a 10 wicket victory as openers Michael Dwyer and Corey Winterannette knocked off the runs in just 15 overs.

Bucking the trend for the day, the game between Launching Place and Warburton was a high scoring encounter that continually saw balls belted onto the adjoining oval at Wesburn Park.

Launching Place got off to a steady start with Clint Sharman setting the example at the top of the order and allowing the rest of the batting order to bat with freedom.

An even display of bowling from The Bur-

ras’ bowlers kept things in check and stopped any major partnerships forming. Launch were still able to keep the score moving towards 200.

Ryan Christie and Matt McConnell blasted 60 runs from the final five overs to boost the launch score to 231.

Warburton’s Josh Sharp started well, and when Warburton lost their second wicket at 51 he was joined by Mick Walker.

Launch’s good start with the ball was quickly undone. As the Warburton pair went about crushing the ball to all parts of the ground, Sharp continued an excellent season as he made a fine 72. Meanwhile, Walker dominated the bowlers blasting them to all parts of the ground. He went from 75 to 97 in four balls, hitting a hat trick of sixes before reaching his second consecutive century with a boundary.

After reaching his century Walker delivered such a clean strike that the ball landed well into the neighbouring horse arena. He blasted the remaining runs in little time to win with six overs to spare.

In one day grade the Yarra Junction batsmen took the example of the other game at Wesburn Park as they blasted 298 against Launching Place 3’s.

They turned to 11 bowlers with Paul Osborn hitting 73.

Yarra Junction 2’s had five batsmen make

ducks as they were bowled out for 56, losing to Hoddles Creek 2’s.

Hoddles Creek 1’s defeated Powelltown by 20 runs.

Yarra Glen were led by 50 to Lachlan Crawford as they defeated Healesville. Launching Place 2’s were defeated by 10 wickets as Coldstream’s B. Comben hit 50.

Launching Place women’s team are through to the CV East Women’s one day final after beating Heatherdale in their semi final.

Caitlyn Parker took five wickets to lead the bowlers as they bowled Heaterdale out for 116.

Amanda Morrison and Ellen Bradley took two wickets each, while Michelle Goldsmith took one.

Launch chased 118 from three wickets down, with Goldsmith 31 not out, Morrison making 27 and Bradley blazing 23.

The Launching Place under 15 girls team lost their semi final on Sunday.

Batting first, Launch hit 6/116 from their 20 overs. April and Lilly Darkin were top scorers with 23 and 24. Ellen Bradley hit 20 and Amelia Kuth hit 17.

Unfortunately Launch were passed with three overs to go by four wickets. Brianna Parker, April Darkin and Tessa Simpson all took a wicket while Lilly Darkin got a run out.

Good news at business end for Yarra Junction bowlers

By Elly Byrne With the Pennant season nearing the end, the Yarra Junction Eagles have mixed results thus far.

With only a small club membership, it is often a challenge to field a full team for competition, but somehow it works out with hard work and cooperation by this small but enthusiastic group.

On Tuesday the midweek 12-a-side team travelled to Mooroolbark and the threatened deluge of rain held off long enough for the games to be completed.

Yarra Junction tried hard to improve their

Rod Barber on his way to a win at Mooroolbark. standing on the ladder, winning overall by nine shots, but a finals place is unobtainable.

In more positive news, the midweek six-a-

side team were handed a walkover by Mount Waverley and maintained their fourth place on the ladder.

They have high hopes for their next two games to maintain or improve their position.

Montmorency, who are on top of the table, will present the biggest challenge.

In even more good news, the weekend Pennant team retained their top of the ladder position despite suffering a loss at Box Hill RSL. Before tea, The Eagles were ahead and appeared to be heading for a victory, but the rhythm was broken and a 21 shot loss resulted.

However, with only one match left to complete the round the Yarra Junction Weekend

side is assured of top place on the ladder and a home final.

Bowls can be competitive, social or just straight out fun as experienced with Barefoot Bowls on Friday evenings, which again enjoyed a good turnout.

The Yarra Junction Club will also be participating in the “This Girl Can” program in March, a government initiative to encourage women to participate in sport.

This is a great sport that can be enjoyed by everyone. Keep an eye out for more details to be released by the club soon.

Despite best efforts, only one victory for Warburton

By Garry Lewis It was another tough week for the Burras, with only the Warburton 1 Weekend side recording a victory.

A disappointing first half from the Warburton 1 Tuesday Midweek side saw them well behind Vermont South 2 at the break. Despite hitting back in the second half they fell short, losing 63 to 49.

Rink scores were as follows: G. Walsh 18/ 22; S. Lord 13/ 20 and R. McKail 18/ 21.

They play Yarra Glen 1 at home this week.

The Warburton 1 Weekend team played Armadale 1 at home in superb bowling con-

ditions and came away with a win after a very tight contest, 87 to 76.

Rink scores were as follows: P. Woods 28/ 16; B. Woods 12/ 22; J. Brookes 21/ 17 and J. Van Der Zweep 26/ 21.

They play Cheltenham 1 away this week in the last round before the finals.

Warburton 2 played third side Cockatoo 1 at home and went down 64 to 104.

Rink scores were as follows: P. Summers 17/ 18; G. Wynd 16/ 29; S. Freestone 17/ 24 and T. Heywood 14/ 23.

They next play Upwey Tecoma 2 away in the final round.

Warburton 3 six-a-side team played West Coburg 3 away and lost 61 to 29.

Rink scores were N. Donohue 12/ 40 and A. Swankie 17/ 21.

They play Eastwood Golf 3 at home this week in their final game for the season.

The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition completed the round robin season leading up to the finals this week.

Good luck to all teams in the finals.

A vicious day for footy

By Jed Lanyon Some of the great football and netball characters of the Yarra Valley came together for a wonderful cause as the Valley Vicious Rett Awareness returned to Healesville Sporting Complex on Saturday 29 February.

The event was dedicated to banding together as a community with the purpose of fighting and raising funds for the devastating disease that is Rett Syndrome.

The All-Star netball clash kicked off the proceedings, before the Valley Vicious ladies games featuring all-stars from around the valley playing off against Healesville’s senior women’s premiership team took place.

Healesville suffered their first ever defeat as a team at the hands of the all-stars, having previously enjoyed an undefeated season.

Event organiser Lee Lawrence was confident that they would reach their fundraising goal of $50,000 for Rett Syndrome Awareness.

“We haven’t quite counted it all up yet, but we’re definitely on mark to beat it,” he said.

“It was a really fantastic day all round, plenty of people showed up in great spirit.”

The night’s main event featured the Valley Vicious All Stars, who defeated the Valley Vicious Vets All Stars.

Check out Star Mail photographer, Greg Carrick’s best photos from the day.
