Boost for preschool garden grows AN outdoor garden and art-based learning activities at the Gembrook Preschool Association will be funded by a $1200 grant.

The preschool is just one of 625 community non-profit organisations across Australia that will this year share in $750,000 of Telstra’s Kids Fund grants available through the Telstra Foundation. The outdoor garden includes wind chimes, bells and Asthma Foundationapproved native plants.

Telstra Country Wide area general manager for Gippsland, Loretta Willaton, said the grants helped boost children’s connection to their local community. “We are proud to be able to help local groups, such as Gembrook Preschool Association, support the skills, talents and development of children.

“The funds make a positive and lasting difference to children’s futures and make a genuine difference to local organisations supporting children.”

Laiken Callister, Anabelle Dewar and Isaac Milnes will be some of the kids to benefit from the funding. 108973 Picture: KIM CARTMELL

THE TREES have been removed, but Emerald’s Worrell Reserve is not yet an official Neighbourhood Safer Place (NSP). It is expected that the reserve will be named a designated NSP within the next two or three weeks, according to Cardinia Shire Council’s manager of community risk and emergency management Myles O’Reilly.

In the meantime, Mr O’Reilly said there was some additional vegetation removal underway to support the final designation.

“The vegetation removal was necessary to ensure Worrell Reserve complied with the criteria, specifically the need to ensure there is no significant threat from radiant heat,” Mr O’Reilly said.

“That is why the cypress trees were removed.

Once this final vegetation removal has occurred the reserve will meet the criteria and can be formally designated as a NSP.” The controversial removal of 50 trees has left a bare border to the oval, and it is expected that replacement trees could be planted as early as March 2014. The council is yet to make a decision on what trees will replace the removed trees, but received more than 170 responses before community feedback closed on Friday.

Resident Mary Farrow said she and other residents were still disappointed about the removal of the trees. She said the council ignored the local significance of the trees and that it should have stopped the council from cutting them down.

However, Mr O’Reilly said the council needed to weigh up bushfire safety objectives against heritage objectives in making the decision.

“We believe that the trees were symbolic of something bigger,” she said.

“Some are saying now the trees are gone, we can’t do anything but there are still a few things in play - the assessment of the NSP is ongoing.

“So now, the trees, for us, are a symbol of a failed process. If another building or piece of this community that had local significance, could it just be pushed aside to make way for whatever project the council wants?

“What about the bakery, the golf course, the maternal health centre? What happens there?”

Ms Farrow said just because the trees were gone, she and others in the community would not just walk away from the issue.

Looking forward

By REBECCA BILLS BELGRAVE resident Sarah Fountain and her family are currently first time carers for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia (SEDA) puppy Emma.

Volunteering their time and home for puppy-in-training Emma, Ms Fountain said it has been the best and most rewarding decision for her family to welcome the new member.

“For us, the children hadn’t had a pet for a few years so you have to think will they be responsible for it, will they care for it and will they keep their promises to care for it,” she said.

“It probably sounds a little bit selfish because we were in the position where we had travelled a lot and didn’t want to take on a pet thinking we would have to have it long term.

“However it has turned out really brilliantly for us because the boys adore her, they have lots of energy and Emma has lots of energy too.”

Ms Fountain and her four children spend a lot of time looking after Emma and teaching her basic obedience lessons.

“They actually think she is breaking all the golden retriever moulds as she is just showing such incredible traits,” she said.

“She is actually a very calm dog when you compare her with some of the other seeing eye dogs in the training.

“The dogs are meant to be quite desensitised, so we expose Emma to as many outside influences as we can to observe how they react.”

After seeing an advertise-

ment in a newspaper, Ms Fountain said the family decided to apply for a seeing eye dog to give back to a greater good.

“It is really striking to see how intelligent these dogs are and how helpful they are,” she said.

“You are not just selfishly putting into these dogs for your own pleasures, it is part of a much bigger picture that it is contributing to.”

Ms Fountain’s son Will said welcoming Emma into the family has been a good exercise and it has been rewarding watching all the hard work they put into training her paying off.

“At the start it was hard but now it is getting easier because she is learning really fast,” he said.

“We know that when she goes to the blind person she is really going to help them.

“It’s going to be really hard when we have to say goodbye, we are getting attached to her and we will miss her.”

SEDA is the only national provider of seeing eye dogs and rely entirely on generous donations from the community.

It costs $30,000 to raise and train just one seeing eye dog and with a year-long wait list, there is increasing demand for the service.

New sun bed law welcomed

A MOUNT Evelyn spray tan operator has welcomed new legislation which bans sun beds.

Spray Tans by Sally owner Sally Robbins said women in their early 20s preferred spray tanning because of campaigns highlighting the dangers of solariums.

Legislation banning solariums in Victoria from 2015 was passed through Parliament last month, following the Coalition government’s commitment to outlaw sun beds.

Ms Robbins believes most tanning companies around the hills have already stopped using solariums.

“Of course some people still use them, you are either one or the other, but solariums are known to increase the chances significantly of people getting cancer,” she said.

Minister for Health David Davis said Victoria commenced regulation of solaria in February 2008 but four year later the Coalition government recognised that more needed to be done.

“The Coalition government noted that of all cancers, skin cancer represents one of the most significant cost burdens on our health system and adversely affects the health of many Victorians,” he said.

“The clear weight of medical evidence supports a ban on solaria.

“The decision to ban solaria in Victoria is in line with similar provisions announced in New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania.”

Currently, there are 112 business licenced to operate 385 commercial tanning units at 118 sites throughout Victoria.

Mr Davis said Clinical Network (formerly the Victorian Cooperative Oncology Group), supported by Cancer Council Victoria and co-signed by 161 health professionals, made one of more than 200 submissions to the Coalition Government calling for a ban on commercial tanning units.

“The framework outlines how we will co-ordinate an effective and sustainable approach to skin cancer prevention over the next five years,” he said.

“The announcement of the ban’s timeframe in December 2012 has given businesses the time required to diversify their services or develop alternatives to harmful ultraviolet tanning before the ban takes effect in 2015.

“The banning of commercial tanning units will, overtime, contribute to reducing the incidence of the most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma.”

A HOME is set to be constructed in Kallista, with community concerns about flooding and crashes addressed in a recent Yarra Ranges Council meeting.

The application for a replacement home on 6 Beagley Street in Kallista was considered at the 22 October council meeting, with one of the seven objectors to the permit speaking.

A next-door neighbour to the property spoke before councillors and raised concerns about the driveway currently on the block, along with drainage and noise resulting from the application.

The neighbour said the driveway currently runs alongside the boundary to the his property, around three metres from his lounge room wall and one metre from his outdoor barbecue area.

His concern was that, should the driveway remain where it is, there would be large amounts of

noise from passing trucks and the possibility of a crash onto his property.

Lyster Ward councillor Samantha Dunn responded to the concerns by putting forward an alternative motion at the meeting, which would see the driveway relocated through the centre of the property, where a soon to be removed house exists.

Other additional conditions on the permit included staged drainage throughout the construction period and access for construction workers through an adjoining property owned by the applicant.

“It’s very steep country. This motion protects amenity and gives the least impact,” Cr Dunn said.

The motion was passed unanimously by councillors.

A 23-YEAR-OLD Narre Warren woman will be charged with deception and other unrelated offences after staying at an Olinda B&B and leaving without paying as well as using a fake identity.

Olinda Leading Senior Constable Tim Wall said the woman had booked in and stayed a night at the B&B where she partied with a friend before leaving without paying on 25 October.

“It was clear that she had no intention to pay and we now know she was doing credit card deceptions in Narre Warren,” Leading Sen Const Wall said.

“She was actually picked up on the same day

by Narre Warren police who will also charge her with a number of offences.”

Ldg Sen Const Wall said this was a good time to remind business owners to ensure they checked the validity of phone numbers and asked for photo identification for guests staying overnight.

The woman will be charged on summons with a court date to be fixed.

OLINDA police are calling on residents to keep an eye out for suspicious behaviour following burglaries at two holiday homes in the town over the past month.

Leading Senior Constable Tim Wall said police were investigating a burglary in the unoccupied house off Hacketts Road in Olinda.

He said it was believed that thieves entered the home by forcing entry at the rear basement door some time during October.

A whipper snipper and brush cutter were stolen worth $1200.

“We think that those involved may have been watching the house in the lead up to the burglary and driven past a number of times,” Ldg Sen Const Wall said.

Last week the Mail reported that police were unsure if any items were stolen from a house on the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road.

It is believed the house was broken into between 9am and 10.30am between 23 October and 26 October through the back door of the property, before drawers and cupboards were opened.

Ldg Sen Const Wall said it was important for residents to call Olinda police if they noticed any suspicious behaviour in the area.

SOCCER enthusiasts across the Yarra Ranges are one step closer to be able to emulate their ALeague heroes after a $650,000 announcement last week.

The Victorian Coalition Government will provide the money to develop stage one of the new $9.8 million regional soccer hub on Emerald Road, Monbulk, to be known as the Yarra Ranges Regional Soccer Centre. Works are due to begin later this month.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Jim Child welcomed Premier Denis Napthine to the site of the proposed centre for the announcement on Monday last week with Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe and Eastern Victoria Region MP Edward O’Donohue.

Mr Napthine said the world game is one of the fastest growing sports anywhere in Australia, including Victoria.

“Our philosophy as a government is we want more people, more active, more often and that’s people who are juniors right through to the senior players,” he said.

“This will results in a healthier and much better community.”

Stage one developments of the site will commence shortly and will deliver two new synthetic pitches, training lights, a new pavilion, change room facilities and a car park.

Dr Napthine said the government is very pleased to be able to assist in making sure people can participate in these important activities in the community.

“I know that the Yarra Ranges Council is one that rolls up its sleeves and gets the job done,” he said.

“This is a great project that involves the local council, the federal government and the state government working together.

“I know that the Monbulk Ranges Soccer Club will benefit enormously by this facility, but it’s not just about the Monbulk

Ranges, it’s about the growing community for people who are interested in soccer.”

Dr Napthine thanked the funding partners in the $9.8 million project that includes Yarra Ranges Shire Council for its contribution of more than $7.1 million and the Commonwealth Government for its $2 million commitment.

Chairman of the Monbulk Ranges Soccer Club Lisa Doolan said the planning of the regional soccer centre started about seven years ago as the club kept growing and expanding.

“Especially with the World Cup at the moment we get more and more children wanting to play soccer,” she said.

“We are a club of around 650 people now with around 40 teams so we are just bursting at the seams and this is just such an exciting project.

“There were times we thought maybe it wasn’t going to happen but we just kept saying ‘yes it will,’ as there is a demand and a need for it.”

Ms Fyffe said the soccer centre is the latest in a long list of Coalition Government investments into Yarra Ranges sporting facilities.

“Whether you call it soccer or football, it is a great way to stay fit, have fun and socialise,” she said.

“From Mooroolbark to Monbulk and beyond, football has become very popular amongst people of all ages.

“This is great news for football fans and for the Monbulk community.”

The centre will aid in growing numbers at the club and also attract regional events including the FFV Summer Competition, Australian Christian Football titles, and the state and national titles in the coming years.

KNOX Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives have arrested a man following an historical abduction and sexual assault.

A 16-year-old boy was allegedly abducted from the Heatherdale Railway Station between February and September in 1984.

A 60-year-old man was arrested on Friday in Ferntree Gully.

The Ferntree Gully man is expected to be charged on summons with kidnapping, false imprisonment, attempted rape and other related offences.

Nature lovers STUDENTS at Ferny Creek Primary School know all about their local ecosystems.

In recognition of the students’ work auditing the school habitat, the school was awarded with this year’s HabitAt School Census award.

The HabitAt School awards are an initiative of the Yarra Ranges Council’s Learning for Sustainability group to improve students’ awareness of their local ecosystems.

The school completed the audit earlier this year and was presented the Award by Yarra Ranges Councillor Noel Cliff and Anthony Mann.

The school received a perpetual trophy designed by a local artist as well as a trip for two classes to Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve.

The school will also receive plants and supplies from the council’s Ribbons of Green program to further improve the school environment. Over the course of a day, the school investigated the number of trees, logs, weeds, organic cover, conservation areas, flora and productive gardens.

The final tally allows students to understand the current state of the school’s environment and where improvements can be made.

Anti-violence in a f l ash

By MELISSA MEEHAN ONLOOKERS were shocked as Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay’s speech was cut short on Thursday as a flash mob broke out as he began his speech about violence against women.

Mr Lay was speaking to a busy food court at the Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood when the music blared and dancers came out from the crowd.

Dancers included school kids, mums, dads and even police officers wearing shirts emblazoned with “No Bystanders” in neon green.

When the dance was over, Mr Lay returned to the microphone and said “now that I have your attention”.

He spoke of the importance that no one stays silent if they were aware of domestic violence and then read a pledge and encouraged shop-

pers and other onlookers to get involved too.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Jim Child also took the pledge and said it was a very important thing to do.

“When the Chief Commissioner comes out and says we need to stop this terrible thing we have in the community, the violence against women - it’s important to get involved,” he said.

“It’s fantastic to be part of this pledge today.”

Knox Police Superintendent Graeme Arthur, who was also part of the day, said that the flash mob was a way of highlighting the issue and getting a number of people, from different backgrounds and ages involved.

“It’s not just a couple issue, we normally think of it as two people involved, but there are the ones who see it - the children and this gets them involved in the pledge too,” he

Community members from all over took part in the flash mob to raise awareness of saying no to violence against women.

This is my oath.

Yarra Ranges mayor Jim Child takes the pledge.

Taking a pledge to never stand by and watch violence against women.

Right: No bystanders... these dancers took a pledge to never ignore violence against women.

Legal action dropped against Tecoma group FAST food chain McDonald’s has agreed to drop legal action against the Tecoma 8.

Those against the controversial development have protested since 2011.

Last month, the group took its protest to Chicago where the McDonald’s international headquarters is based.

M c D o n a l d ’s took out a court injunction in July against eight people involved in protests at the Tecoma site earlier this year.

At the time of the legal action, McDonald’s said the group was trespassing and being a nuisance.

After mediation talks, both sides have now agreed to drop the legal action.

The matter will now go before a judge before it can be approved.

Grant to sustain school

By REBECCA BILLS THREE primary schools in the hills have been congratulated on receiving Victorian Coalition Government grants of up to $10,000.

The Patch Primary School, Mount Dandenong Primary School and Macclesfield Primary School were commended

by Eastern Victoria Region MP Edward O’Donohue for their efforts to help reduce energy use and promote sustainability practices.

Mr O’Donohue visited The Patch Primary School earlier this month to see how staff and students are committed to sustainability.

He said the grants would help the school undertake energy audits and install equipment such as energy efficient light bulbs, door and window draught seals, small wind generators, or replace less energy efficient appliances.

Environmental Educator at The Patch Primary School Michelle Rayner said she was thrilled her school received the $10,000 grant.

“At The Patch Primary School we have a huge focus on sustainability and it is embedded in our education program,” she said.

The three schools are part of almost 200 schools across the state to receive funding in

the latest round of grants under ResourceSmart Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI).

The AuSSI program is part of the Coalition Government’s Energy Efficiency Grants Program for Victorian Schools and is a joint partnership between the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) and Sustainability Victoria.

A total of 400 grants will be awarded in 2013 and 2014.

For more information about the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic and a full list of schools visit www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/ schools.

Opinion Something to look forward to HERE we are in spring so let’s have some cup day fun.

If I was a betting man I think I would be betting on McDonald’s capitulating and allowing all of the Tecoma protesters to go unpunished.

The police will drop or diminish all charges against the Tecoma anti Macca’s protesters.

Thus allowing them all to become a part of hills folklore, establishing new ways to do business in the future.

Our Yarra Ranges councillors will elect Samantha Dunn as their new leader and mayor as a result of a political deal to help get her elected into the state parliament next year.

I’m not a gambler but I still like to be a little mischievous and have fun so I have become a keyboard worrier it’s just too much fun.

As long as you realise that Facebook is all make believe and those nasty people don’t really exist in real life they are just figments of people’s twisted minds.

Send your letters to: editor@yvnews.com.au Letters to the Mail, of course, must be a taken a little more seriously otherwise the editor will issue you with a stern reprimand in a nice way of corse, if your really naughty she will delete you and warn you.

Have fun today for tomorrow we can have more fun, because one day we will not all be here anymore?

Don’t take politicians seriously they are only there to feed their own needs.

Alan Coutinho-Hogan, Belgrave.

Thoughtful trickers THANK you to the very thoughtful ‘kids of Monbulk’ for the letter in my mail box on Wednesday regarding Halloween, and ‘kids’ who might call on me for trick or treat, that is, unless I indicated that I didn’t want to be approached.

I live in a very easy to get at part of the town, and many people can call on that night. So, I appreciate your accepting that not everybody wants to be involved.

You really are great ‘kids of Monbulk’.

Alison Brain, Monbulk.

Stop the disadvantage THE Outer East is now the only region in Melbourne without its own higher education facility.

Young people in this area are now more disadvantaged in regard to higher education than in other regions.

This is the only region in Melbourne where young people have no choice but to travel long distances to attend tertiary studies.

Before the university was opened at Lilydale, the outer east had the lowest participation rate of 17 to 24 year-olds in higher education of any of Melbourne’s six main regions.

Before the university was opened at Lilydale, young people in the city’s inner eastern suburbs were more than twice as likely to finish school and go to university than were their counterparts who lived in the outer east.

It is for these reasons that the Yarra Valley Educational Precinct Committee is calling on our government for support by ensuring that all of the Lilydale campus is made available for higher, vocational and community education.

Bernard G Dobson, Convenor, Yarra Valley Educational Precinct Committee.

Get rid of danger concrete WE all know that the YRC are going to correct the dangerous concrete surrounds around the new street trees.

On speaking with one of the shop keepers he came up with a brilliant idea of placing cast iron tree surrounds about 1x1 metre square used in inner city areas with a steel post on each side of the trees, so cars cannot damage any trees, thus removing the concrete trees surrounds completely and giving Monbulk back its sensible car parking spaces once again.

A simple analogy is the Monbulk had V8 car parking spaces, big and spacious for older people, then they went to the council’s workshop and 10 weeks later came back as only V6s.

Finally recently I saw a woman walking along to top of concrete kerb to keep off the road to get to her car and she fell face down on the asphalt, not a pretty picture, fortunely she was not hurt.

We do not need these dangerous concrete kerbs to attack people and kids to walk along, simply put they must go, they are a hazard.

Campaign targets highrisk road

Business laws comply online FOOD, health and accommodation businesses across the Yarra Ranges will be able to save time by paying their annual premises registration renewal online.

At the start of November, businesses will be receiving registration renewals that must be paid by 31 December.

With some 1400 food, health and accommodation businesses in the Yarra Ranges which require registration, Mayor Jim Child said the council is trying to simplifying the process by providing an online renewal option.

“We know business owners are very busy during office hours so by providing an online renewal option means they don’t need to make a trip to council community link, but can pay their renewal at a time that suits them,” he said.

Cr Child said registration permits the council to ensure businesses comply with the requirements necessary to make services safe for users.

“Residents can be confident to know that council is regularly inspecting businesses to ensure they provide premises that are clean and compliant to keep the community safe,” he said.

To register a food, health or accommodation business, visit eservices at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

Campus shutdown leads to conviction SWINBURNE University breached the Fair Work Act by failing to consult with staff and the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) over its decision last July to shut its Lilydale campus.

On Wednesday, the Federal Court of Australia found that Swinburne University of Technology was guilty of four breaches of the Fair Work Act. NTEU commenced proceedings

in March 2013 against Swinburne in the Federal Court.

Swinburne admitted it contravened the Fair Work Act and agreed to make donations to eight Outer Eastern Neighbourhood and Community Houses and two services which support the victims of domestic violence.

Swinburne also apologised to all staff for breaking the law and paid

the legal costs of NTEU. “The announcement on 6 July 2012 about the closures of the Lilydale and Prahran campuses were a great shock to our members and the broader community,” said Dr Colin Long, NTEU Victorian Secretary.

“Whilst the apology and other actions are appropriate in the context of this litigation, it is now time for Swinburne to apologise to all stu-

dents and to the communities they once served in Victoria,” he said.

“On a positive note, the response from the community organisations NTEU nominated for donations has been great.

“These neighbourhood houses are all that is left to support the education of our community now that the Liberal government and Swinburne have shut the Lilydale campus.”

DRIVERS take note - police will be out in full force over summer.

Police will be targeting Belgrave-Gembrook Road between Clematis and Avonsleigh in a three-month operation starting in November.

Leading Senior Constable Peter Henderson said that the Cardinia Highway Patrol had received special TAC funding to target speeding, mobile phone use and seatbelt offences on the high risk road.

“Under the Safer Roads Project, the TAC have recently spent $3.3 million upgrading this stretch of road through the use of metal and wire rope barriers, road widening and edge sealing works to reduce

road trauma,” he said.

“Through the use of police marked and unmarked cars, the highway patrol will endeavour to make the improved section of road even safer.”

He said police will also hand out leaflets to drivers and motorcycle riders giving them tips to reduce the risk of motorcycle collisions.

“Motorcycle riders and car drivers need to be on the lookout for each other because a split second of inattention can have tragic consequences particularly for the for motorcyclist,” he said.

“This road has had its fair share of accidents over the years and that’s why they are spending money on it.”

Uncertain future in store

By MELISSA MEEHAN

The unexplained tags that have an Olinda dog owner worried. 109357.

Picture: DONNA OATES

Fears over dog stalkers

By KATH GANNAWAY WHAT do these tags mean?

Despite continuing assurances from police and animal shelters, dog-owners in Yarra Ranges are fearful that dog stealing is a reality, with house marking seemingly the main ‘proof’.

An Olinda woman, the owner of two dogs, rang the Mail after discovering two yellow wire tags on her back fence which backs onto public land.

“I have a friend whose dog has gone missing and when she put up a sign in one of the local stores the owner said it was the third one,” she said.

The woman told the Mail the fence was recently built and the first she had seen of the tags was when she found them about two weeks ago.

Debate has raged on Facebook sites for months about different sorts of ‘tagging’ including letters and symbols painted on gutters and letterboxes, to coloured wire tags.

The Mail reported in July on the experience of Mount Evelyn woman Renae Harrop who found a blue ribbon tied to her fence after disturbing a man who was acting suspiciously in front of her house, and in August reported on rumours in the Upper Yarra Area.

Police and Animal Aid say the evidence is simply not there to support claims that dogs are being stolen for organised dog-fighting rings.

Debra Boland from Animal Aid in Coldstream said dogs stolen for any purpose are not going to be taken into

Animal Aid, but said reports of lost dogs were consistent.

“We are always getting reports of dogs going missing, some turn up, but the problem for us is that not everyone let’s us know one way or the other,” she said.

“The numbers change when there are storms or fireworks, but we haven’t seen any unusual spikes.”

Both Ms Boland and local police the Mail has spoken with about the issue say people need to report the matter to police if their dogs go missing in suspicious circumstances.

If any Mail readers recognise the tags, pictured, and can provide an explanation as to why they would be tied to a random fence in Olinda, give us a call.

DESPITE having two home bases, the Yarra Ranges U3A was facing an uncertain future just weeks ago after becoming homeless over two days.

It sounds a tad dramatic, but within two days the group was told it would no longer have a home at the St Andrews Church in George Street, Lilydale, after Christmas and that the Janet Campbell Centre in Kilsyth was set to be demolished.

The organisation was also affected by the closure of the Swinburne campus last year.

Good news finally came through last week, with new president Geoff Hughes announcing to the group’s annual general meeting that they had been offered space at the Montrose Uniting Church and had entered discussions for a combined class timetable with Japara until the new Kilsyth community hub is completed in 2014.

While it’s looking positive, the group is still in desperate need for storage space where it can keep filing cabinets and other items.

“Our main problem is storage,” Mr Hughes said. “Everything we have at George Street has to be stored and we need to vacate the church by Christmas.

“We also have everything here at the Janet Campbell Centre, too.”

Mr Hughes said the group had a couple of ideas and had prepared a letter for Yarra Ranges Council to ask for its assistance in finding somewhere to store its items.

“The Yarra Ranges U3A goes back a long way,” he said.

“My wife was the founding president in 1994 and we did the tour of venues back then too.

“We’d love to have a home rather than a number of separate premises but it’s also a bonus to be able to be fairly wide spread throughout the area, too.”

Yarra Ranges U3A president Geoff Hughes needs a home to store the group’s filing cabinets and other items.

Police seek dance party Hilarious! Joshua Brooke from The Patch was thoroughly amused by Mr Punch. 109283

Jessica Steward and son Caleb Holloway from Mount Evelyn enjoyed the antics of the Punch and Judy Show. 109283

History comes alive

By KATH GANNAWAY CAMELOT Castle was besieged... but in a good way, as more than 3000 people flocked to the inaugural Yellingbo CFA Camelot Castle Medieval Festival on Saturday 27 October.

“We got to 3000 people and just stopped counting,” said Yellingbo brigade member and festival co-ordinator Claire George.

The former reception centre, now privately owned, sprung to life on Saturday 27 October with medieval games, music and minstrels, sword fighting displays, jousting, market stalls, face painting, great food, the hugely popular Punch and Judy Show and lots more.

It’s easy to believe Claire when, still a little dizzy from the success of the day, she said: “Every single person wants to come back.

“We wanted it to be a genuine community, family, safe day and we pulled that off in spades; we’re overjoyed,” she said.

Claire said everyone involved had worked very hard to stage the event with local people and organisations, including other local fire brigades, all working together to put on a full day of entertainment and fun.

“I think the castle itself was a huge drawcard, along with the brigade’s decision to keep it at a gold coin donation,” said Claire about what brought people from all around Yarra Ranges.

She said Yellingbo CFA’s approach was that the CFA is there for the community whether it’s a house or bushfire, a car crash or other emergency, and in turn the community is there when the brigade needs to fund-raise for equipment or other needs.

“We determined it was about time we did something to bring the two together where they are not asking anything of us, and we’re not asking anything of them - just coming together as a community in a way that is accessible to everyone,” she said.

After a two-week recovery, plans will start for next year’s event, with everyone from performers and stall holders to the very happy festival-goers indicating they will return to Camelot in 2014.

“Everything we made on the day is going towards next year’s event... and we’ve got quite a few things in mind for next year,” said Claire, obviously keen to start planning.

IT’S taken social media by storm, but police are still trying to make contact with the organisers of the Yarra Valley Secret Dance Party to ensure everything is above board.

Many people in the Yarra Ranges would have seen signs around town inviting people to “like” the Secret Yarra Valley Dance Party Facebook page and while information and details on this page and the website are fairly vague, many have purchased tickets.

The party, to be held on Friday 8 November, invites individuals to buy a ticket without knowing the location of the event until the day - where they will be taken to the venue by shuttle bus after first arriving at a meeting point (also secret until a few days before).

Organisers replied to an email request from the Mail, but did not identify themselves

as anything other than Secret Dance Party Australia.

A number of questions that were asked by the Mail in relation to safety, police notification and emergency services were ignored but questions about why the Yarra Valley was chosen were answered.

“Secret Dance Party Australia is for all those party lovers who can’t safely enjoy a great party because of gate-crashers and random drunks,” organisers responded.

“Our first Australian event will be held in the Yarra Valley because it is the perfect spring party location.

“The Yarra Valley is a lovely mix of modern and historical buildings and it’s not too far out from the city and hopefully our patrons will stay overnight in a hotel or in a B&B.” The organisers said that Secret Dance Party Australia is a

proposed touring company that relies on local business cooperation and promotes local businesses and products.

“We have finalised agreements with local sponsors for adult adrenaline entertainment, music, lighting, food and alcohol as well as the venue location and a pre-drinks venue,” they said.

“Of course security, bus hire and bus drivers are from local resources too.”

Organisers said before starting to promote the event, they had secured a licensed venue for a private party as well as local chefs to cater for the party.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said that police were aware of the party advertised on social media, and encouraged party supervisors to register their parties with local police at least a week before.

Cardinia’s planning for health THE Cardinia Shire Council has a new plan in place which is designed to improve the overall health of the shire’s residents.

The municipal public health and well-being plan, which was

approved on 21 October this year, will aim to improve, promote and protect the long-term health of the shire’s residents.

The plan addresses key health issues for the commu-

nity, and outlines goals such as increasing physical activity and healthy eating, minimising tobacco use, reducing misuse of drugs and alcohol, addressing mental health issues and more.

Making Victoria FireReady: Parks Victoria and the Department of Environment and Primary Industries advise that fire preparedness activities will be carried out in local parks and reserves until to June 2014.

This includes the creation and maintenance of fuelbreaks and fire access tracks, slashing and weed management, as well as preparing for and carrying out planned burning activities. Some vegetation and weeds will be cleared and some trees will be selectively removed as part of these works.

With crews and machinery working onsite some park areas will be closed for public safety while works are underway.

These works are part of a plan to reduce bushfire risk to communities, property and the environment. While they will not stop a major bushfire, they will improve access for firefighters, provide a buffer for nearby homes and reduce the intensity of fires.

For more information on fuelbreaks go to www.parks.vic.gov.au under the Fire Management section of each park’s page, or for information about planned burning activities go to www.depi.vic.gov.au

Clinics find the cause FOOT and leg pain is very common, but without the right treatment and advice, pain and injuries nearly always re-occur or get worse.

One of Australia’s leading podiatry practices dedicated to assisting foot and leg pain is treating in Wantirna South and has all the advice and treatments needed to get rid of foot and leg pain.

With a reputation for getting results, Foot + Leg Pain Clinics services are sought from far and wide and have been the chosen podiatrists for some of the world’s best athletes.

Sports podiatrists Tim Madden said the key to success is keeping up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treatments while taking a holistic approach to treatment.

“Correct diagnosis is very important, you must look past the surface symptoms to find the cause of issues,” Dr Madden said.

“I see many patients with persisting issues because they’ve been misdiagnosed, the causes are not addressed specifically and or inappropriate treatments have been utilised, it’s unnecessary.”

Dr Madden advises anyone who is affected by foot and leg pain to avoid medication as cortisone and anti-inflammatory drugs have proven negative

Crafts show the Japanese culture UPWEY South Primary School students tried their hand at calligraphy and many other Japanese crafts last week.

“As a language teacher, it’s very important role for me to also teach our beautiful culture too,” Mr Takahashi said.

“The main part of Japanese Day is students participate in a number of workshops such as origami craft, playing with traditional Japanese toy, chopsticks practice, and kaleidoscope making.”

Students also took part in a Japanese costume contest and enjoyed a special Japanese lunch.

“Everyone has a different image of Japan, and I was excited to see them - some kids dressed up as Mario others in traditional dress,” he said.

“I believe that this even will motivate students to learn Japanese in the future.”

On the trail of strategy

By REBECCA BILLS A NEW equestrian strategy for Cardinia Shire could see a 235 kilometre horse trail network for recreational trail riding.

The proposed horse trail using bushland reserves, open space corridors, roadsides and on-road riding routes is available for public comment until Tuesday 19 November with the council calling on community members to provide feedback.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen said it was an important strategy for the many people who own or ride horse in the area.

“Equestrian activity and horse ownership is high in our municipality, given our many rural settings,” he said.

“We are also a popular destination for horse enthusiasts living in Melbourne’s south-east.”

Cr Owen said the strategy

looks at opportunities to enhance equestrian facilities such as upgrading arenas, clubrooms and other infrastructure, and providing year-round access to more facilities.

The Cardinia Shire has 21 clubs based at 11 public recreation reserves, as well as many other private centres and horse riding groups and clubs.

The proposed horse trail also recognises the additional 90 kilometres of horse and multi-use trails through Bunyip State Park and Kurth Kiln National Park.

“A designated horse trail network would enable council to direct resources towards trail development and maintenance, improved safety and increased community awareness of riding opportunities,” Cr Owen said.

“The strategy outlines how the network could be considered in town and road improvement projects, to ensure the

trails are preserved and maintained.”

Cr Owen said horse riding is a great pastime and it gives people the opportunity to be physically active as they enjoy the natural environment.

“Council wants as many people as possible to enjoy riding in our shire,” he said.

“We encourage residents and groups to have their say on the draft strategy.”

The draft Equestrian Strategy is available on the council’s website at www.cardina.vic. gov.au/haveyoursay or in hard copy from the council offices in Henty Way, Pakenham.

The closing date for all submissions is Tuesday 19 November.

For more information or to inquire, call the council’s recreation project officer on 1300 787 624.

Lucky escape after nasty rock fall A MAN was lucky to escape with a dislocated shoulder and fractured arm after he fell off a rocky ledge in Kalorama.

Advanced life support paramedics were called to treat the dislocated shoulder and fractured arm.

Paramedic team manager Bryan MacDonald said the first ambulance crew had to walk some distance into the bush.

“The man ended up in a stream, 500 metres along a steep rocky walking track,” Mr MacDonald said.

“Paramedics made their way in on foot and treated the man, who was given some pain relief medication before he was able to be moved.

“A decision was made to bring in a four wheel drive ambulance to meet the group, avoiding a long walk out of the bush.

“The man was taken to Maroondah Hospital in a stable condition,” Mr MacDonald said.

As more people go walking in the Dandenongs in warmer

weather, paramedics are urging them to take some simple steps in case something goes wrong.

“It’s important to take a mobile phone with you, so you can contact emergency services if someone has an accident or becomes ill,” Mr McDonald said.

“It’s also a good idea to take note of signs and landmarks while you are walking, so you know exactly where you are.

“There are also emergency markers installed in national parks which can be given to the triple-zero calltaker.

Time for sand A VERY excited group of prep students were handed a bucket of sand to officially open the new sandpit in the Mount Evelyn Christian School Creation Garden in the Primary School.

The project, which was years in the making, was designed by year nine students in 2012 and then the current year nine student worked hard to see the drawings turned into a gazebo structure. Teacher Lance Peele and his team have done an outstanding job to enhance the school’s play areas by creating something practical.

Honey, Zoe, Owen and Gabriel try out the new sand pit.

Histor y in place

By REBECCA BILLS A NEW, major exhibition exploring the main streets and shopping precincts of the Yarra Ranges is coming to town.

Changing Places: The Evolution of Yarra Ranges’ Main Streets discovers how the various surrounds of the Yarra Ranges has changed over time with the exhibition asking visitors to imagine what the future looks like to them.

Developed through an outreach project across the region known as the Pop-up Museum: Main Streets Projects, 14 towns were visited from June through to September 2013 to gather various artefacts and stories to create the exhibition.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Jim Child said Changing Places brings together 150 years of local stories, photographs and objects to explore the region’s history and heritage.

“Shop owners, residents and history groups have all contributed their narratives and memories helping shape this magnificent exhibition,” he said.

Shop Local, Under the Influence, Taking it to the Streets and

You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet are the four key themes the exhibition explores with visitors experiencing the rapid growth and changes to the areas main streets during various eras.

A second part of the exhibition is a major online interactive project designed to capture historic photographs of shops and main streets across the Yarra Ranges.

Running in partnership with website History Pin, members of the public can upload their historic snaps and help share and preserve the history and stories of their main street.

“It’s not all about looking back,” Cr Child 0said.

“Visitors are also encouraged to add to the exhibition by looking forward and contemplating what the main streets of Yarra Ranges may be like in the future.”

The Changing Places exhibition is supported through funding from the Australian’s Government’s Your Community Heritage Program and will be showing at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum from 9 November through to 2 March 2014.

Entry is free.

Lovely heart beats as strong as ever

By REBECCA BILLS A HILLS primary school is marking a magnificent half century of education in the Dandenong Ranges.

Upper Ferntree Gully Primary School is calling on all past students, teachers and parents to help celebrate the 50 years of schooling.

Current principal Peta Evans said while the school may have been transformed several times in the last 50 years, it continues to be the heart of the little suburb nestled in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.

“Our school is an integral part of the Upper Ferntree Gully community and this is a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to all the students, teachers, and parents who have contributed to it over the past 50 years,” she said.

In addition to the rides, entertainment and stalls filled with local produce and handmade goods, there will be a display of photos and school work on show from the last 50 years.

Ms Evans said the display gives a wonderful snapshot of life and education over the period.

Former vice-principal Ron Neville said the school does not resemble much of how it looked when he was teaching in the ’70s.

He said he is proud of how far the school has come over the past 50 years and said the children seem to be the same.

“They were lovely in 1974 and 1975 when I was here and they are still lovely now,” he said.

“A lot of things change in 50 years, but one thing that never changes is the children.”

Integration teacher Christine Elder said over the years the school has improved its infrastructure and education and she is looking forward to seeing past and present students and teachers come together in a day of celebration.

“I just think it’s a wonderful school here and I can see it progressing even more,” she said.

The half-century celebrations will be held on Saturday 9 November from 10am to 4pm at Upper Ferntree Gully Primary School, Talaskia Road, Upper Ferntree Gully.

THE stage at Sam Knott Hotel in Wesburn is set to sizzle when the Sydney Hotshots perform live later this month.

The men will be hitting the road with their brand new Funtasia show - a two hour extravaganza of lights, action and a whole lot of sex appeal.

This nationally renowned show is a montage pf sexy character cameos including rugged firemen ready to handle the hot temperatures and seductive gentlemen plus naughty cowboys and policemen ready to tame the crowd.

Combining acrobatics, break dancing and gymnastics, the show is a dynamic, exciting and intimate display all performed with state-ofthe-art lighting.

However the entertainment does not stop there, audience members have the opportunity to get on stage and receive giveaways and freebies throughout the performances.

This up close and personal interaction with the men adds sizzle to the show and has left the Sydney Hotshots at the top of their game since 1995.

Sydney Hotshots performer Dave Hughes spent 10 years in Las Vegas performing at the Excaliber Casino and said he enjoys the dedication and work ethic of the group.

“There is nothing more exciting than performing to an audience full of gorgeous Aussie women and seeing them have the time of their

lives,” he said.

“Mums and daughters, office workers, best friends and sisters they all come together at the show.

“There is no place like Australia and moving here to join the Sydney Hotshots is a dream come true by touring this beautiful country with its outstanding women.”

Hotshots director Paul Reynolds said the key to the success of the group is their attention to detail, the constant evolution of the show and their love of performing.

“The guys spend hours perfecting their moves, training to stay in shape and researching new ideas and songs,” he said.

With an intense training schedule and more than 300 shows a year with an estimated annual audience of 250,000 women, each performer is in top shape to entertain.

The Sydney Hotshots will be performing at the Sam Knott Hotel on Saturday 30 November at 8.30pm.

Tickets are $25, for more information and tour dates, visit www. sydneyhotshots.com or call 5967 1200. To go into the draw to win one of three tickets to the event, visit the Mail Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MailNewpaperGroup and like, comment and share the related post.

Winners will be announced Friday 22 November at 10am on the Mail’s Facebook Page.

THE sixtieth annual Lilydale Show is fast approaching and will be full of birthday celebrations.

This family friendly show promises to house many of the popular traditional attractions with the continual focus on agriculture, family fun and rural lifestyle as well as a few new attractions.

Whether it is cuddling a favourite furry and feathered friend at the animal nursery, riding a pony or two or patting a slithering pal at the reptile show, there is something for everyone.

There will be emergency service displays, vintage trucks, tractors and machinery displays, blacksmiths and so much more on offer.

The Melba Park precinct will be a flurry of free activities and entertainment including the Bendigo Bank Talent Quest featuring Toots the Magic Clown and the Bunning’s Kids Workshop to keep the children entertained for hours.

Pavilions will line the grounds filled with arts and crafts, cookery, needlework, Victorian Scottish dancing, Balmoral Highland dancing and horticultural displays filling the Melba Park precinct.

As the sun begins to set, the twilight entertainment will commence at the main oval from 6pm with great local acts taking the stage.

To finish off the event, a fireworks extravaganza will end the show with a bang.

Would-be visitors should get ready to ride the traditional rides, eat lots of fairy floss and collect a few show bags at this year’s Lilydale Show on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November at Melba Park.

Tickets are $35 for families (two adults and three children), $15 for adults, $6 for children five to 14 years-of-age and $8 for concession and students.

HORSES Mt Evelyn Special Developmental School, School Council wishes to advise the Yarra Ranges community of its intent to change the school name to “Yarra Ranges Special Developmental School”.

The rationale behind the name change is based on the fact that the current name is not representative of the students who attend the school.

As part of the consultation process the school is calling for any objections to the proposed name to be sent to the school in writing by Wednesday 4th December 2013.

If no response is received by the nominated date, it will be determined that there is no objection.

Jumps ahead at pony club

By KATH GANNAWAY MAKING the most of a small space has been a challenge for Seville Pony Club.

On Sunday, 27 October, members tried out the new cross-country course that has shown that community, business and local government working together can jump just about any hurdles.

A total of 24 new jumps have been built over two courses representing the type of obstacles and jumps riders and their horses could expect to encounter in open competition.

The club has 80 members with a strong family involvement and instructors.

Club president Di Harry estimates there are around 150 people participating in various aspects of the club.

“We’re also probably one the largest clubs in Victoria, with one of the smallest grounds, but we still have some very high level riders who do really well around the state,” Ms Harry said.

“There is substantial value in the work done, but it has been achieved through a real community effort with local business helping out with materials.”

Ms Harry said pony club families put in a lot of voluntary hours and labour while the Yarra Ranges council assisted with grants and was “very helpful throughout the process.”

Jacqui Hargraves and Virgil make their way around the new grounds. 109145

Girls urged ‘give cricket a go’

By KATH GANNAWAY GIRLS’ cricket will go on show at Healesville this Friday evening, 8 November, when the Yarra Valley’s Female Festival of Cricket is staged at Queen’s Park oval.

The event will introduce a brand new Yarra Valley Cricket Association cricket competition for girls aged between 9 and 14 years.

The festival will start at 4.30pm with cricket clinics for aspiring players, and any other girls who want to see what organised cricket is all about.

Girls from around the Yarra Valley taking part in the In2Cricket and T20 Blast programs will come together to demonstrate what is being done to encourage girls to get involved in the game at an early age.

The aim is to provide a competition that allows girls to play in a safe and fun environment and to enjoy cricket where everyone bats, bowls and has a go at being wicketkeeper.

No experience is needed, the game takes one hour, is free and all equipment is supplied.

Representatives from Yarra Junction, Healesville, Launching Place and Seville cricket clubs will be at the festival to look at how their clubs might be able to start their own girls’ team.

The main game between Yarra Valley Stars and Ringwood Rams following on under lights at 6pm.

Cricket Victoria’s Di Day started her girls’ cricket career with Woori Yallock Cricket Club over 10 years ago.“This will be a great opportu-

Liam leads Burras’ quest

By CHRIS ANDERSON A BRILLIANT day greeted cricketers around the Yarra Valley as two-day cricket began in a true battle of attrition between bat and ball.

The battle started in earnest at Mount Evelyn as the Rovers faced a dogged Warburton-Millgrove in a top four clash.

The Burras looked determined to occupy the crease all day and despite an early run out of Garrett Morris followed by the quick fall of captain Troy Murphy, the Burra settled in on the sandy and slow Mount Evelyn Reserve.

The reintroduction of Captain Kane Jones into the attack before tea saw immediate results, and enabled a bat before the end of the day, with the visitors teetering at 5/80 at the break.

Liam Barnard has been a mainstay at the top of the Burras batting order and he turned dogged warrior in the quest to lead his team to a sizeable total.

With a damaging cameo from Jason Coghlan (32), the Burras quickly turned the tables in the contest between bat and ball.

With Coghlan’s fall, things slowed for the visitors, but the Rovers were also struggling to make inroads.

When the whips got cracking, it was the Rovers who were left at the gates - not able to match the urgency of the batsmen.

A determined Barnard saw this innings out until the final over, carrying his bat for a fine 97, and seeing his team finish on a respectable 221.

The Rovers may well rue the extra runs they conceded in the run home, but will be pleased with their discipline with the ball and in the field for the majority of the day.

The chase will be a difficult but gettable, so it will come down to which team has the better discipline and drive to take this one out.

Hoddles Creek are always up for the battle with the bat, and after a meek effort against the Eagles last week, they looked to atone as they batted first at Coldstream.

As has been the trend over recent seasons, the Wombats gritted their teeth for the battle which lay ahead and batted cautiously throughout the day.

Experienced pair Warwick Weir (42) and Jeremy Derix (28) did their best to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

However, as has been the case too often, no batsman went on to score significant runs to build a sizeable total around.

Eventually the weight of pressure got to the visitors as they were bowled out for 137.

In-form Crocs Jarrod Bayliss (5/40) and Ryan Vaux (4/38) ensured the Wombats would not escape the Crocs’ grasp.

Despite the wide expanses of the Coldstream oval and the tendency for it to be on the slow side, Wombats will struggle to defend this total unless their brash young quicks make early inroads into the Crocs batting line-up.

The match of the round was the game played at Queens Park be-

tween Healesville and Seville.

Healesville has made a bright start to the season sitting second in the ladder, while Seville is at the opposite end, still trying to kickstart the season to match that of their premiership play last year.

The Bloods batted first, and it was the experienced and in-form pairing of Johnny Heywood (40) and Geoff Stock (50) who made the formidable Blues’ attack look meek as they controlled the contest.

The thing with sport is you cannot keep champions down.

Once the Blues removed the openers, they turned the screws on the remainder of batting order.

The much-improved Matt Hadlum (4/34) ripped through the Bloods’ batting line-up with the support of experienced duo Ishara Amarasinghe (3/43) and Andy Kay (2/26), bowling the home side out well before the end of the day for 161.

The Blues had to navigate their way through a tricky period before stumps, and that they found it as they finished the day on 3/30.

This leaves the contest well and truly in the balance.

Seville has a long batting lineup and will still be confident of getting the necessary runs.

However if the Bloods can nip a few out early, then they may well be on their way to consolidating their position in the four.

In the final game of the round, Yarra Junction hosted Woori Yallock in a clash that is crucial for both sides as they battle to stay in touch with rest of the competition.

The visitors batted first and struggled to make a fist against an attack brimming with confidence after dismantling Hoddles Creek last week.

Daniel Mock (37) gave the Tigers a bright enough start, but he would be disappointed in getting out when he should be building a significant score in which the team could build a defendable total around.

With the only other contribution from Cal Ferguson (22), the Eagles pushed another team to the side dismissing the dismal Tigers for 102.

Quentin Hodgkinson continues his development with a fine 3/33, while Terry Ottrey (2/8) and Dan Lever (2/23) confirm their value to the Eagles attack.

The home team lost a late wicket to close at 1/18, but they would be confident of scoring enough runs to secure their second win on the trot and leave themselves within striking distance of the top four.

Inspiration proves a hit

By STEVE BROWN IT WAS a day where records were made.

On the day when South Belgrave’s Glenn Maxwell equalled Simon O’Donnell’s record for the fastest half century by an Australian in a one day international in India, there was some lusty hitting back home in the one day fixture to complete round four of the Reeves Shield.

Knoxfield’s Mitch Burley might have been thinking he was playing for Australia when he pinched the game against Upwey Tecoma at the death to give the Knights their first taste of victory over the Tigers in many years.

Batting first at home, Upwey set the visitors 158 to win with in-form batsman Matthew Mulcahy pounding 60.

Knights opener Luke Scanlan (51) held the innings together in the early stages until the bowling duo of Leigh Bianchi and speedster David Bell turned the tables back in favour of the Tigers with 25 runs required from the final two overs and not a lot of batting to come.

Burley was not going down without a fight, needing 10 from the last David Bell over and all seemed gone with a six required from the last ball of the game.

Bell’s delivery strayed towards leg stump and Burley promptly lifted the ball off his pads over the backward square leg fence and into the car park to clinch a sensational victory by one run.

The Knights hero remained unbeaten on 25 much to the delight of his team mates as he left the field.

Eildon Park remains the only undefeated team at the top of the table when it dispensed with Ferntree Gully courtesy of Morris Incorporated at the Wally Tew Oval.

The welcome return of Mohammed Farrukh (49) to the Gully line-up was not enough as the Blues to posted 6/157 from their 40 overs.

The Panthers in reply were never bothered as the Morris brothers, Ben and Cody, shared an opening stand of 122 and the game ended early with seven overs and eight wickets to spare - Ben top scoring with 79.

Upper Gully met its match against Footballers who contained the Kings to 9/186 from 40 overs as lanky swing bowler Nuwan Costa did most of the damage with 3/22 from eight overs.

In reply, Locky Storey (59) Ben Rawlings (55) and Phil Muscat 41 not out, were in complete control, completing the mission in the 31st over for the loss of just three wickets.

The Ballers have defeated both last season’s grand finalists in the past two weeks.

Knox Gardens recorded its second win of the season defeating Belgrave by five wickets.

Belgrave’s 7/202 with Doug Oaten contributing 52 was never enough in a one day fixture on the speedy Belgrave Recreation Reserve.

In form openers Jarrod Butcher and former Northcote player Shannon Small (71) led the charge leaving the Magpies at the bottom of the ladder without a win.

In the final game at Monbulk, the home side bowled superbly restricting Johnson Park to 7/128.

The Hawks were too strong winning their first game by six wickets with last season’s Lomax Medallist Blake Walter

David Devonish (Johnson Park) tries for a boundary. 109433 Picture: GREG CARRICK contributing 22 runs, 2/28 from eight overs and taking three catches in a good all-round performance.

In Decoite Shield, Rowville opened its account defeating Saint Johns Tecoma by seven wickets with Jake Balfour recording 89 not out for the winners.

The pitch was taking spin at both ends at Auravale (115) as Knox City (144) snared its third win, as Tigers all-rounder Bipa Singh dominated with 61 and 3/9 in a good day’s work.

South Belgrave was unable to chase The Basin’s 6/236 at home falling 20 runs short, despite 70 from former Eildon Park batsman Matt Sutherland.

Jake Best, a former captain at Casey South Melbourne, had little trouble with the synthetic surface scoring 68 for the Bears.

Mountain Gate proved too strong for Lysterfield with only three Gators batsmen getting a hit.

Clint Buckland was the dominant batsman for Mountain Gate with 82 while Lysterfield’s young Steven Moore could hold his head high with 78.

Medallists show their mettle

By DENNIS FULLER

One way to fill the day WITH the Monbulk Juniors and fourth XI all having a weekend off, the top three senior teams all played a one dayer to fill the time.

The firsts, playing at home against the reigning Norm Reeves Premiers Johnson Park, bowled first and restricted the opposition to 7/127 from their 40 overs.

Rick Lamers took two wickets as did Blake Walter who also took three catches.

With the bat, Monbulk was 4/76

before Aaron Powell (26no) and Brian Martin (27no) batted brilliantly adding an unbeaten 55 run partnership to seal a great team win with three balls to spare.

Tom Watson topped scored with 30.

The seconds and thirds both lost but again promising signs for the future with Monbulk junior players doing well including Daniel Cleary’s 40 in the thirds, Travis Wills first senior wicket in the thirds

and Josh Rak taking his first wicket in the seconds.

All Monbulk’s teams (seniors and juniors) re-commence next weekend, with most teams starting two day games.

The newest team, the Under 10s, also play its first match on Friday night along with the first night of the Milo in2cricket program starting at 5.45pm at the main ground.

Monbulk Juniors and fourth XI after the match.

Inset: Aaron Powell after Monbulk’s win. 109424

LAST Saturday at Emerald Golf Club all players who had won a monthly medal during the year competed to be Medallist of Medallists.

The winner gets to compete in the VGL comp of the same name and the club champion, Ryan Aitken, competes against all other club champions.

When the counting had been done it was Mark Starick (10) who held sway over the other pretenders when his net 71 was good enough to get him the major gong.

The day was also the November VGL medal competition.

Steve Town (16) saw the sun shine so he did the same to win the medal with a very solid nett 66.

This got Town the right to stand atop the B Grade mound.

Kameron Geeves (14) enjoyed his round of 70 to win A Grade.

Not content with this, this greedy golfer was also nearest the pin on the fourth, the thirteenth and he even pocketed the pro pin pennies on the 18th.

In C Grade it was Peter Glasscock (25) who dominated again to win with 70.

Peter Jones had 70, and Ken Hill and Leigh Morison both had 71.

Mike Litchfield got into the act by being nearest the pin on the seventh and Wayne Degering showed how it should be done from a long distance on the 12th.

The ladies’ competition saw a complete domination by Brodie Reynolds who blitzed the field by miles from a distant Rosalie Martin.

On Wednesday at the Omni potently Fiddly Golf (OFG) using OFG handicaps, Leigh Piggott (36) broke the ice for his first win over a big field of willing but lagging floggers.

He had 44 points to win from Moss Fuller (21) on 43 followed by a gaggle of golfers including John Piggott (21), Graeme Fergus (23) and Allan Ecclestone (20) all on 42.
