Painting the past

By Jed Lanyon Another mural project is underway along the Lilydale-Warburton Rail Trail, which will highlight the history of Wandin and some of the township’s early families and institutions.

The Wandin Station Mural Project commenced late last year and will soon join other mural projects along the rail trail in Warburton and Woori Yallock.

Launching Place resident Norm Orr is the man behind the murals, helping coordinate each project, but Wandin’s mural project is closer to the heart as his ancestors were early settlers in the town.

“It’s pretty special to me because my grandmother was part of one of the original founding families of Wandin,” he said.

“I’m next to certain that her dad was involved in building the original Warburton Highway. It’s pretty cool to think how my ancestors are involved out here, where I ended up. I didn’t know that when I bought my block in 1980.

“I’ve got two children that now live on what was Rouget land. Both of them live in Wandin on either side of the highway.”

Mr Orr’s mural depicts his grandmother, Rosa Victoria Orr (nee Rouget) as well as what he believes to be an image of Rosa’s father, Alex Rouget, helping construct the Warburton Highway.

The Orr family visited Rosa’s completed mural last week, including 11 month old Isla, who can now see the image of her great-greatgrandmother.

Mr Orr plans to have about 60 murals in Wandin and is now reaching out to the community to help put the project together.

“The murals are to depict historical aspects of Wandin and surrounds and can feature people, buildings, events, organisations or groups.

We invite local residents past and present to

Mr Orr said that sponsors can supply their own photos or they are able to source them from other locations such as Mont De Lancey Historical Homestead, who have a selection of historical photographs.

The selected photos will then be painted as a mural by local artists Brad Colling and Peter Van Bruegel and placed along the platform at

the former Wandin Station.

“We are very happy to welcome locals on board and those already involved include Wandin Rotary, Mont De Lancey Museum, Wandin Seville Financial Services and Wandin Yallock and Wandin North Primary Schools.”

The mural projects are backed by Yarra Ranges Council as councillor Tony Stevenson joined Mr Orr and other sponsors to view the

“The mural projects are a great community initiative that celebrates the history, and character, of towns such as Wandin, while also being educational for those visiting the area,” Mr Stevenson said.

Mapping our wine climate

By Romy Stephens A new resource has been developed to help Yarra Valley wine producers plan for the localised effects of climate change over the next 80 years.

Developed by the University of Tasmania’s Climate Futures Group, and funded by Wine Australia, Australia’s Wine Future: A Climate Atlas describes short and long term trends for Australian wine regions until 2100.

The Climate Atlas has been tailored for individual regions, such as the Yarra Valley, with a focus on important climate factors that influence wine production.

These included heat accumulation and aridity, and the likelihood of heatwave and frost.

Lead author Dr Tom Remenyi said the Yarra Valley was projected to face “challenges with a warming and drying climate” but also produce “great wines for quite some time.”

“The Yarra Valley is a diverse area, there’s the warmer western side and the cooler east-

ern side,” he said.

“It’s going to warm to the point where it will be similar to Pemberton by about 2060 and Margaret River by about 2100.”

The Climate Atlas was produced from some of the most sophisticated climate modelling outputs available.

Dr Remenyi said the Yarra Valley had the highest resolution available in the country, due to its location within Victoria.

“The way the model works, we had to select a particular region which was our centre point and Victoria was a sensible centre point,” he said.

Climate Futures Group lead and University of Tasmania climatology expert Dr Rebecca Harris said the project would provide detailed climate predictions in an accessible and useful form.

“The aim was to improve understanding of climate information and to empower communities to plan for the coming season and for the future,” she said.

“The project identified weather risks that are particularly important to grape-growing within different wine regions and assessed future changes in their frequency and intensity based on regional climate models.”

The Climate Atlas also indicated which regions around the country currently hosted similar conditions to those projected in 2100.

It is understood this will allow growers and wineries to look to their peers and viticultural experts for ideas on how to adapt for the future.

When asked if he was confident the wine industry could adapt to climate change, Dr Remenyi said it was in a “better position than most” due to an extensive amount of knowledge and education.

“It’s been on the front foot of this for a long time and there are plenty of people aware of the changes that have occurred,” he said.

“One of the key advantages of the Australian industry, compared to others, is that it already exists in a highly variable climate.

Growers have had to develop a large toolbox

to handle those differences.

“Climate change is going to require us to evolve but given a lot of those tools are already there, the capability is there.”

Dr Remenyi added that a surprising finding in the research was the impact climate change would have on the wine industry’s ability to employ outside workers.

“As temperatures increase there is going to be an increasing number of days greater than 30 or 40 degrees. But one of the key elements is the number of days where there is high humidity and temperature,” he said.

“At present, the Yarra Valley experiences about 10 days a year where there is a severe risk to humans to work outside.

“That’s set to increase substantially in the future to more like 20 to 40 days of the year, where you won’t be able to work outside safety without some significant adjustment.”

Generous gift helps groups to a purrfect partnership

By Romy Stephens The important role Rotary plays in the local community was highlighted recently, with the donation of funds to Coldstream’s Animal Aid. Lilydale Rotary Club donated $2500 to the animal shelter, which funded two enclosed cat pens and bedding to fit out the new cattery.

Animal Aid CEO Mark Menze said the donation from Rotary helped make the cattery a more comfortable space for animals.

“The vet bedding donated by Rotary is comfortable and washable meaning we are less reliant on donations of towels and blankets,” he said.

“It is also environmentally better as we don’t have to dispose of used blankets.

“The Catmax pens, we just wanted something we could put some kittens in and it lets them run about. You can fit about half a dozen kittens in there and it’s an attraction for people too.”

Lilydale Rotary president, and Animal Aid volunteer, Ann Wheeler said organisations such as Animal Aid were extremely important for the community.

“I think it’s very important to have something like this, especially locally, that people can go and adopt and sadly, somewhere that they can surrender their animals if they need to,” she said.

“They do such a great job and they’ve been here for such a long time.”

Mr Menze said it was donations like the one from Lilydale Rotary that helped keep Animal Aid running.

“Animal Aid needs to fundraise around $400,000 a year to deliver our animal welfare mission,” he said.

“Whether it’s cash or goods in kind, every donation counts and we are very thankful to Anne and the Rotary Club for helping us fit out our beautiful new cattery.”

Speaker clashes with PM

By Jed Lanyon Casey MP and House of Representatives Speaker Tony Smith had a tense exchange with Prime Minister Scott Morrison during Question Time on Thursday 18 June.

Mr Smith called for Mr Morrison to withdraw comments he made about Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese overseeing a corruption scandal following the explosive allegations levelled at Victorian Labor MP Adem Somyurek earlier in the week.

“This leader of the Opposition, in the midst of a debacle and corruption scandal that he has overseen, Mr Speaker,” said Mr Morrison to interjections from Manager of Opposition Business Tony Burke and others.

This prompted a strong reaction from Mr Smith, who didn’t take kindly to the Prime Minister using the C word as other MP’s were quick to shout their disapproval. Here is the exchange: TS: “The Prime Minister will resume his seat.

The Prime Minister will resume his seat! The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The Prime Minister needs to withdraw that imputation.”

SM: “Mr Speaker, on the point of order ... ” TS: “No! Members on my left! The Member for Kingston, The Member for Kingston, The Member for Kingston will cease interjecting!

There’s going to be no debate. The Prime Minister needs to withdraw that imputation.”

Tony Smith and Prime Minister Scott Morrison during the exchange.

SM: “Well Mr Speaker, if you would allow me ... ” (Interjecting) TS: “I’m just going to say to the Prime Minister that he just needs to withdraw. There was no point of order. I’ve made a ruling.”

SM: “Mr Speaker, I was not impugning a motive to the Leader of the Opposition.” (Interjecting) “Mr Speaker, I was referring to the word ‘corruption’, which was used by the Member for Holt to explain the investigation underway.”

(Interjecting) “That’s what I was referring to and was going on, Mr Speaker, to explain in

my answer. That is what I was referring to. That is the word used by the Member for Holt. The Member for Holt said ‘corruption’.

Mr Morrison then turned to Mr Burke again.

“But Mr Speaker, to assist you and to respect your ruling ... (pointing to Mr Burke) It’s got nothing to do with you! You can sit down!” (Interjecting) “You’ve already had your point of order. I’m seeking to make the withdrawal!”

After order was restored, the visibly frustrated Speaker had a strong message for those looking to interject again.

“I’m just going to say, I will deal with any interjections during this period in the way members can predict. I find it incredible that they want me to rule on a point of order while simultaneously shrieking at me,” Mr Smith said.

Mr Smith was returned unopposed for a third time as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in July last year.

At the time, Mr Burke said the only other speaker to achieve this was Australia’s first, Frederick Holder as members of both sides backed him in the role.

Mr Albanese and Mr Morrison heaped praise on Mr Smith after he was returned in his role as Speaker.

Mr Albanese said, “You are as fair and impartial a Speaker on either side of politics as I’ve seen in my more than two decades in this House ... The fact that you’ve been nominated by the government side and seconded by the opposition side is to your credit.”

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said all House of Representatives members respected Mr Smith.

“You have a wise and calming presence in this place,” he said.

“The normal passions and the heat of the debate that occurs in this place you accept and you celebrate, but at the same time you temper us in those times when, of course, there is overreach.”

The people have spoken on Macca’s plan

By Jed Lanyon News of a potential McDonald’s restaurant coming to Healesville kicked up a storm on social media. Here’s what some Yarra Ranges locals had to say about the idea: “There is no point fighting them. It is just exhausting. Save your energy for a roster of people to pick (up) their trash.” - Melissa Hughes “I’m thinking of future jobs, you mightn’t like the food but for 14-18 year olds it’s good job training. Not many other places hire kids except coles and they seem to be taking more unemployed adults these days.”

- Cybelle Barbour “Plans have been approved already. Not much can be done now except decide if you want extra special sauce on your Big Mac.” - Mark Polido “No, but then I don’t eat it! It’s actually the very, very tall yellow M that I dislike the most!”

- Vivienne Chellew “Want to lose what remains of your country town appeal? Just pop in a McDonald’s.”

- Benno Poeder “I’ll say no, I believe it will take away business from the local small businesses. As Macca’s has drive through, drivers tend not to get out of their cars. Therefore taking away from local business the foot traffic.” - Sammi Kent “If you feel strongly enough, make sure to click the link and make the poll!” - Linda Trent

Have your say Last month Star Mail reported that Healesville may become the site for a new McDonald’s as the restaurant chain submitted an application to amend an approved planning permit to Yarra Ranges Council in May, confirming the global fast-food giant is keen on becoming a tenant at the development on 17 Maroondah Highway, Healesville.

But there’s bad news for locals who oppose seeing a Macca’s in town as the application is merely to amend the approved permit to change building specifications, not to decide whether McDonald’s would be approved or denied use of the site.

Star Mail is currently surveying local residents to see how they would feel about having a McDonald’s in Healesville.

The poll received over 1000 votes in just 24 hours and there’s still time to have your say.

We were on the way back from Eildon and we’re gonna stop in Healesville for Macca’s but clearly (There’s) no Macca’s so (we) kept going to Lilydale.

I think if rubbish is found McDonald’s should be fined.” - Jake Cattapan “Being we live in a free enterprise which encourages competition, I think it will be very hard to fight this one. Remember when McDonald’s wanted to open in Tecoma? A lot of locals didn’t want it, there was a huge amount of petitions and protesting, the council supported the community and refused it, but they lost at VCAT appeal with (the) council decision overturned.

Families figure in Yarra Ranges crime

By Romy Stephens Over the past year, crime in the Yarra Ranges has climbed by over seven per cent.

According to the latest Crime Agency Statistics, the total number of crime incidents in the municipality rose to 6209, an increase from 5768 this time last year.

Lilydale (1162 criminal incidents) was the highest ranked suburb, followed by Mooroolbark (881), Chirnside Park (535), Kilsyth (440) and Healesville (330).

Yarra Ranges compared well to neighbouring suburb Cardinia, which saw a greater than 15 per cent increase in criminal incidents.

However, Nillumbik saw a less than four per

cent increase in crime.

Across the state, the number of criminal incidents within the past 12 months increased by over 6 per cent, or 23,430 incidents to 409, 841.

Police Minister Lisa Neville said an increase in family violence was one of the major concerns within the latest statistics.

“As we continue to talk more about family violence, as police take it more seriously it’s not surprising,” she said.

“In some ways it’s good that people are reporting it but we continue to need to make sure that women and children, particularly, are safe in their homes.

“You’ll see in these figures, 51 per cent of as-

saults are family violence related, the increase in homicides in these statistics are largely due to family violence murders.”

Ms Neville said there were also some positives that came out of the statistics.

“Serious assault continues to decline by family violence and non-family violence,” she said.

“Sexual offences are down and also assaults against police and emergency services are down.”

The Crime Statistics Agency data recorded crime statistics from 31 March 2019 to 31 March 2020.

Tree removals

By Jed Lanyon Works are underway to remove 92 unstable trees on the western side of Melba Highway between Maroondah Highway and Rudducks Lane.

An assessment from an arborist found that the cypress trees are diseased with Cypress Canker, a fungal disease that has compromised the trees.

VicRoads said they are working closely with Yarra Ranges Council on a replanting strategy to improve the amenity of the area.

Works started on Monday 15 June and are expected to be completed by Tuesday 30 June.

The works will take place from Monday to Friday from 7am and motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow for extra time on their journey.

During the works there will be a lane closure in place under traffic management to ensure crews can continue moving in both directions, reduced speed limits to ensure safety of working crews and road users and some levels of noise throughout the removals.

OPINION

Highway in urgent need Warburton Highway has long been a concern for so many, particularly those who use it on a daily basis.

With the lack of turning lanes, frequently changing speed limits, concealed driveways and blind turns, it certainly has its hot spots, yet no safety modifications have been made for many years.

From the moment I was elected I have been contacted by many locals who have had or witnessed car accidents or near misses along Warburton Highway. For five years I have been fighting to have safety measures implemented.

I have raised issues in parliament and called for treatments at different spots. I asked the government to what their plan was for the future of the highway and discovered they don’t have one.

This has all led me to conduct an online survey to find out where the community believe high risk areas are along the Warburton Highway and what needs to be done.

The results are pretty clear with a staggering 95 per cent of respondents wanting safety measures added along the highway - but there were differing ideas as to what they should be.

The addition of turning lanes at various points were suggested by 40 per cent, while 25 per cent thought traffic lights at high-risk locations would help with safety conditions.

The increase in traffic with tourists over weekends and public holidays exacerbates the dangerous conditions and poor design of the road which is in urgent need of attention.

It is beyond time that VicRoads takes notice of these facts and implements the necessary measures.

The state of

affairs Cindy McLeish MP Member for Eildon High collision areas regularly mentioned in the survey answers are at the intersection of Gembrook-Launching Place Road and Warburton Highway, outside Launch Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, Don Road intersection, opposite The Home Hotel and Sunnyside Road intersection in Seville East.

These roads are home to popular sites with people frequently visiting Launch Fresh and The Home Hotel. Drivers should not feel like they are taking their lives in their hands when they visit these spots.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey and voice your opinion.

It’s not too late - visit my facebook page ‘Cindy McLeish MP’. It is important for me to talk with and listen to the Upper Yarra community who know best the high-risk areas on the Warburton Highway. We need action to improve safety measures and save lives.

So what have we learned?

Focal Point

I imagine by now you are starting to experience some new found freedom from the lockdown that we have become quite familiar with.

Of course a lot more time and more processing will be needed before we see football crowds, supporters at the races, churches being opened, and unlimited dining numbers at hotels, and it seems that we will have to wait into 2021 to experience some major events.

I mentioned last month some of the dangers of having been ‘locked down’ for quite a time and of course some are still locked down for various reasons. The latter tend to find themselves putting on weight through over doing the comfort food and not exercising well enough.

In lots of ways, the door has been unlocked and they know it, but some are staying in, perhaps because of the agoraphobic fear of what is still lurking ‘out there’.

Or they are quite comfortable hibernating in their homes that have become familiar territory - a place where they can calm their anxiety by adapting the home to a comfort zone of art, music, work, gardening and other pursuits.

On the downside of this hibernation I hear reports that alcohol sales have gone up 32 per cent, book reading of the erotic fantasy variety up 400 per cent and calls to Lifeline were coming in at one every 30 seconds.

Consequently, 60 per cent of practitioners have reported a 42 per cent rise in domestic violence and self-harm.

However, there are those of us, who, now realising that the door is unlocked, choose to walk through it, albeit to the limited places, where we are enjoying catching up with friends, visiting families, and seeing ‘real’ faces instead of the ones on a screen.

However I have found that it hasn’t all been bad, as many good things have come out of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In fact I invite you to explore with your family and or friends, some of the good things that we have experienced, and come to value, or revalue, to the extent that we don’t want to lose

Graeme Dawson them or throw them away without reflection.

For instance, a high proportion of people who have been working from home are saying they would like that to continue, saving hours in heavy traffic etc. Many, though, miss the camaraderie with work mates, and that is not always the best for their mental health.

Standing on my ‘cross’ recently in a fruit and veggie market, waiting to be attended to, I got to chat with a lady waiting on her ‘cross’.

I remarked to her, and she reciprocated with pleasant agreement that in what might have been pre-Covid times, there would have been none on this interaction.

Generally I have found people courteous and offering to allow you to go before them at the supermarket checkout, for example, if you only have a few items. Even standing outside a cafe waiting for your takeaway coffee, chat is happening.

I hear of many families who have bonded more than ever with fish and chips/movie nights, and the reappearance of long hidden board games. I also see many families out for walks, and I love seeing dads taking a tot by the hand, unrushed, intentional and gentle in their togetherness.

In closing, let us not forget those who have lost loved ones through the virus, or through tragic circumstances as the result of anxiety, depression, and a desperate attempt to stop the pain that had been overwhelming.

From my pastoral heart, and motivated by the compassion that my hero, Jesus displayed, I lift them up into God’s arms in prayer.

Positive purpose

By Jed Lanyon

Healesville’s Grand Hotel has fitted out the pub’s exterior with several posters in a bid to lift community spirit.

Pedestrians and drivers passing the iconic hotel can easily spot the signage, which has been created by locals to share messages of support for those doing it tough.

Healesville resident and pub-goer Kersten Gentle said the idea came from her daughter Nikita, who pitched the idea to the business owners of the hotel.

“We recognised how community minded Lisa and Tom are and my daughter said, ‘why don’t we do some posters to brighten up the place as people are walking’ and the response from people has been amazing,” Ms Gentle said.

“This town has gone through a lot in the past and I know that if the community comes together now, we will make sure that everyone gets through this. And that’s what these posters are about; making sure that everyone comes through the other end of this pandemic.”

Business owner Lisa McKay-Campbell invites locals to design their own A2 posters to display across the pub as they enlist the services of Breen Printing to create their positive posters. Relatives of Ms McKay-Campbell, who were in Mallacoota at the time of the recent bushfires were involved in a similar feat paying respects to the nation’s firefighters.

The idea initially started as a home-schooling art class activity but is now open for people of all ages with time to spare in isolation.

“One of the biggest problems with the pandemic is the effect on people’s mental health, so if these posters can put a smile on someone’s face then the Grand is doing a good job ...

To me this is the perfect canvas for our town,” Ms Gentle said.

Ms McKay-Campbell said that some of her

Business owners Tom and Lisa with kids Levi and Maeve. 208350 customers would share that the brief interaction with the hotel’s staff would be the only human contact they receive for the day.

The Grand Hotel is now operating a drivethrough takeaway meal service for locals looking for a restaurant quality meal without having to leave the comfort of their car.

“It’s something that we would never had or-

dinarily done ... It’s the only thing we can really do,” Ms McKay-Campbell said.

“You drive through the bottle shop and they pass it to you through the car window. You can literally come through in your pyjamas.”

As part of their takeaway menu, the hotel has also started cooking regular Sunday roasts for customers.

Laidleys’ magic double

By Gerard Guthrie There wasn’t a Group 1 trophy, huge cheque or track record in sight but a double at Healesville’s straight track last Friday was about as satisfying as it gets for veteran Devon Meadows greyhound trainer Graham Laidlay and wife Pauline.

Laidlay, 76, and five-year-olds Challis Magic and Challis Sprite, home-bred Magic SpriteChallis Miss litter brothers whelped back in April 2015, defied Father Time in a remarkable training performance.

Centurion Challis Sprite won his 23rd race at start 102, while the injury-plagued Challis Magic chalked up win number 22 at his 72nd appearance, amazingly at his first start since dislocating a shoulder just seven weeks ago.

“They’re going great for older dogs, especially with the injuries Challis Magic has had,” said a justifiably proud Graham.

“He did a stopper bone in 2018 and our vet Des Fegan said we’d be lucky to get him racing again. He missed about eight months but since then he’s won another ten races.

“He’s also got two crook wrists, which is why we go to Healesville, so he’s not going around a corner. Without all his problems I think he could have won another 20 races, while Challis Sprite has been pretty well free of injury.

“You have a lot of hiccups. It’s not just a matter of putting a collar and lead on them and going out to the track.”

Longevity goes hand-in-hand with the ‘Challis’ breed.

Challis Miss started 71 times for eight wins, while another member of her lone litter, Challis Annie, won nine from 62 and will soon be mated with champion sire Barcia Bale.

Graham Laidlay “The litter has won 81 races and $140,000 in prizemoney, mostly just going around the bush,” Laidlay explained.

“A couple we sold early on won in the city.

Harvey Mills (11 from 87) won a heat of the Silver Chief and Bont’s Magic (seven from 87) won over 600m at The Meadows.

“The reason Challis Miss only had one litter was that I made a big mistake!

“We always keep our bitches to see what they produce but we had too many dogs at the time. When we sold Harvey Mills I told the buyer he could have the broodbitch too but he didn’t want her so in the end we put her in the GAP. That was a big mistake!”

Pauline pays tribute to Graham’s dedication as a key element to their dog’s lengthy careers and never-ending zest for racing and her husband is quick to repay the compliment.

“We’re both dedicated - you’ve got to be,” he offered.

“You’ve got to do it properly and I couldn’t do it without Pauline. If you’re not going to do it properly you shouldn’t do it at all.”

Laidlay’s involvement in greyhound racing dates back to 1960 as a teenager and barring a late change of plans he would have handled 1962 Melbourne Cup winner Saskagay.

As fate would have it, Saskagay was the mother of Graham’s first city winner Myagay, which came in 1967 at Sandown.

Making Friday’s Healesville double all the more incredible, retired carpenter/joiner Laidlay only has three race dogs in work, Challis Magic, Challis Sprite and another sibling, Shirdale Tom (six from 36), which is still racing despite dropping two back muscles.

The Laidlays are planning for the future too, with two 12-month-old pups, also by Magic Sprite, and the forthcoming Barcia Bale - Challis Annie mating.

“When do you finish? When you’re 80 or when you go in the box?”

“I’m not sure who will wear out first - me or the dogs. But if my knees get any crooker I might have to get you out here to help!” Graham laughed.

Greyhound racing is very much a family affair for the Laidlays, with Graham and Pauline passing their love of greyhounds down two generations.

Their greyhounds are raced by the Three Cheeky Monkeys Syndicate, so named after granddaughters Jasmine, Ashleigh and Ruby, who are part of the ownership group, while a fourth ‘cheeky monkey’ in Annie arrived after the syndicate was formed.

Confusing, Flawless ‘Diamond’ strong King claims the crown meandering Artemis Fowl a big turkey

By Peter Quilty and Molly Haines

Artemis Fowl Starring Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell and Judi Dench Rated PG Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Artemis Fowl is a sloppy, poorly-structured film and a terrible adaptation of the young adult novel by Eoin Colfer.

Child genius Artemis Fowl (Ferdia Shaw) enlists the help of a technologically-advanced fairy society to rescue his missing father.

In the novel, Artemis is intelligent, cold and ruthlessly ambitious but not cruel, and he gradually learns some degree of humility and respect. In the film, Artemis is a mildly sassy boy who never figures out anything for himself, and Shaw delivers a very wooden performance.

Despite its aggravating tendency to tell us details rather than show them, Artemis Fowl’s concepts are very poorly-defined. Artemis’s father, fairy agent Holly Short’s (Lara McDonnell) tarnished reputation and the Aculos fairy superweapon are just vague, detached motivators for the plot, developed almost entirely through back-story.

The dialogue is often contrived, the characters are thinly-written, the villains are halfbaked, and it’s unclear what Artemis hopes to achieve by holding Holly hostage. Artemis and Holly become close friends unreasonably quickly, and yet they have no chemistry. The film contradicts its own rules about magic, and while the fairy recon team’s rapidly-degrading time-freeze field sets an indistinct ticking clock, it’s unclear how the field even works, which saps this conflict of urgency.

Artemis Fowl drains its protagonist of all depth and features a tedious, scatterbrained narrative.

The axiom ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ was reality for Ashlee Terry when Soda Diamond took out Sunday’s Healesville Puppy Championship.

Soda Diamond registered his fifth win from six starts over 300m up Healesville’s straight track and earned a $5000 first prize for owners, the Soda Lodge syndicate.

“We gave him a chance to run a nice race and we knew the three would be very hard to beat, but he loves Healesville so that gave us a chance,” trainer Ash Terry said.

“It means a lot to win the Puppy Championship for the owners (The Soda Lodge Syndicate), they are great friends of ours and I’m sure they will be thrilled.”

The Jan ’18 Barcia Bale x Ruff Cut Diamond speedster has now won nine races from 12 starts and $15,765 in prizemoney.

Except for his first start, where he won his Maiden at Bendigo, Soda Diamond has raced exclusively at Healesville - including three wins from five starts over 350m.

“I think Healeville is a great track for dogs to learn in a field without the pressure of the corner,” Terry said.

Exiting from box two in the final, Soda Diamond ($5.00) was third at the first split but prevailed in a thrilling finish defeating Perfect Colour ($8.50) by 0.5L, with Zipping Annabel ($37.40) a further 0.3L away third in 16.84sec.

Race favourite Cyclone Fergus ($1.90F) finished fifth.

What’s next for Soda Diamond?

“I will take him back around the circle for a bit and see how he goes. He can track a bit wide around the circle but he’s come along way,” Terry said.

“I would also love to go coursing with him,

It was a big weekend for Ashlee and her partner Nathan Rooney who are based at Nilma North.

Rooney finished second with Percy’s Magic in the Winter Cup (520m) won by Houdini Boy at Cranbourne on Saturday night.

Ironically, Rooney finished third with Percy’s Magic in last year’s Healesville Puppy Championship won by Aston Bintang. He has recently taken over the training of Aston Bintang.

“We were so proud of Percy’s Magic last night. We knew we were in trouble with him sitting behind us that’s for sure,” Terry said.

Difficult conditions in wet

By Karl Hradsky It was very soggy underfoot and along with some questionable pin placements, it made scoring difficult this Sunday at Healesville Social Golf Club.

Greg Urquhart (11) was at it again with another win scoring -1 playing Par.

Second was Tom Bergin (28) with a score of -4 and third placing went to Tony Druit (11) scoring -6.

Nearest the pins went to Laurie Tormey, Greg Hay, Greg Urquhart and Karl Hradsky.

Greg Urquhart won the Secret Holes with a score of +1 over the designated four holes.

Good weather improves golfing which in turn, improves scores.

The Warburton Golf Club’s 17 June field of nearly 40 enjoyed the drier conditions on the course.

This resulted in Jason King winning the daily prize with 38 impressive points.

Allan ‘Old Man River’ Hubbard, in a welcome return to form, was the runner-up with 35 points.

Balls only got down to 34, as there were plenty in the field who scored 34 or 35 points.

The Front-9 winning score went to Mark Gunther with 19 solid points. The Back-9 saw John Haynes also score 19 points.

The club’s 20 June stableford was a day when the weather gods threatened to rain on everyone’s parade.

One player who was not put off by the heavy clouds rolling in was Andrew Williams.

He accumulated 38 solid points to grab the A Grade voucher.

Willo, the current Club Champion, also scored a stunning eagle on the long par 5 14th.

B Grade was taken out by Jason King, with 39 points.

Jason is on a hot streak right now, but the handicapper must be about to catch up with him.

The daily runner-up was Michael Batten with 37 points.

Balls extended to 34 only.

The Front-9 prizes went to Andrew-McMath and Hatty, both with 20 points.

Ben Lever amassed 22 points on the Back9, to grab a voucher, along with Mick Danaher, who scored 20.

Finally, popular member, Lance Atwell had a superb eagle on the 16th, which helped ‘Gator’ finish in front of longtime rival, ‘Happy’!

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.
