A comprehensive education UPPER YARRA is a local secondary college providing a comprehensive education for students in the Yarra Valley. The school is set in a picturesque location with facilities that cater for students from varied backgrounds with a broad range of interests. Upper Yarra supports students to develop a love of learning with positive values and attitudes and the necessary skills to broaden their knowledge base. The college values include learning which supports students’ social, emotional and academic success, setting ambitious goals to stretch themselves beyond personal expectations, striving to achieve the best in academic results and extra-curricular activities, accountability in taking responsibility for their own actions and learning as well as respect and co-operation. Upper Yarra’s dedicated staff work in Year Level Teams to develop close personal relationships with the students in their care, ensuring that pastoral care and well-being needs are responded to effectively and compassionately. The teaching and learning programs are based on an understanding of different learning styles and develop from an inquiry model that stimulates inquisitiveness and encourages exploration of ideas.

Students have varied interests and goals and so the school offers programs that cater for personal growth, academic, and career-based education also providing VET and VCAL to support pathways to universities, TAFE colleges, apprenticeships and employment. The college has formed a partnership with Healesville High School and Worawa College known as the Yarra Valley Polytechnic. The polytechnic is a trade training provider and delivers certificate level training across the three schools offering automotive spray painting, building and construction, hospitalitycommercial cooking, cabinetmaking, and rural studies with hospitality offered on-site. Upper Yarra arts students have a reputation for their creative flair - student leadership and a strong student voice are promoted at the college. Using innovative approaches to learning, such as the Future Learners Inquiry Program (FLIP), Upper Yarra also houses leadership opportunities, such as year level captaincy. There are lunchtime activities like reptile crew, three on three basketball competitions, photography club and chess club offered alongside special events Cybersmart Info, Mental Health Awareness Day, Cultural

the learning journey and parents are at the heart of this with Upper Yarra providing many opportunities for parents to be included in the education journey of their children. Interaction with the local community and community service is also strongly encour-

aged and facilitated. Make sure you make time to visit Upper Yarra Secondary College to explore the school, view the many opportunities provided, and speak with one of the school’s leaders to discuss your child’s current or potential journey with them.

SITUATED in the leafy suburb of Monbulk, Mountain District Christian School is surrounded by 17 acres of natural bushland making it the perfect environment for your child to learn and grow. The school offers a unique education, and aims to develop each child’s individual gifts and talents through a biblical education. Students are able to develop their skills in management and operation of a small business through helping out with the cultivation of a vegetable garden and the nurturing of chickens where they are then able to sell the eggs. This extends to the Environmental Science program available in secondary school where they explore the health of ecosystems in the hills. Community Engagement Officer Mellisa Ashton said the school’s curriculum enabled each year level to sufficiently build on the previous year level.

Studies back on course ONE door shuts and another one opens. And this is proving to be the case with courses that were previously being run by Morrisons in Mount Evelyn now being delivered by Upper Yarra Community House (UYCH). UYCH CEO Sally Brennan said what this meant for the students in the Upper Yarra was that there was now a wider and more diverse offering of training being delivered close by. “UYCH is pleased to have been able to step in and to continue to provide these much-needed services, particularly relevant since the closure of Swinburne in Lilydale,” she said. “In most cases, students have been able to continue in the same classrooms with the same teachers, with a little disruption as possible, including the young people in the VCAL program.” Students now have the opportunity to study at both locations in a variety of community services training programs including aged care, children’s services, education support and youth services. The consolidation of training provision also means that there will be greater diversity at both locations, with UYCH courses being offered in Mount Evelyn that were previously only in Upper Yarra. “What we’re seeking to build are real employment outcomes for our students, based on high quality training,” Ms Brennan said. “The most effective way to do this is to provide strong learning pathways for students, pathways that are closely linked to industry, and provided in a supportive environment with highly experienced teaching staff.”

Charity channel for arts RACHEL Curtis, 15, combined her love of the arts with her desire to support others. And, in doing so, organised an entertaining evening at Belgrave’s Sooki Lounge. Rachel raised almost $2000 when she brought together young musicians and the works of student photographers and artists for her ‘Exhibition for East Timor.’ The initiative was part of Rachel’s Personal Project, a 12-month challenge for Years 9 and 10 students at Mater Christi College. “I learnt so much about organising an event like this including auditions, selection of artworks, promotion, venue arrangements, programming and lots more,” Rachel said. Students tackle various challenges for personal projects and continue to impress their teachers and parents. Deputy principal Julie Feeney said Ra-

chel’s project was one of the many outstanding and diverse examples of the creativity, organisation and perseverance displayed by girls in their projects. “The girls are encouraged to aim high and regardless of the outcome, the learning can be extraordinary,” she said. Rachel now has the opportunity to see the actual results of her efforts when she travels to Timor Leste with other Mater Christi students later this year. “I am grateful for the support of my brilliant family and friends and everyone who supported the event,” Rachel said. “I am also really looking forward to seeing what the fund-raising can do for the young people of Timor Leste.” For more information about Mater Christi College or to arrange a tour, call 9754 6611 or visit www.materchristi.edu. au.

LAST year was a busy year at Mount Evelyn Special Development School (SDS). The teaching practice, school climate and provision for students with autism was accredited by AMAZE (Autism Victoria) for being of good quality. The Early Education program, for children who are aged two years and eight months to school age, moved into their purpose- built facility which is separate to the main school and is a program for any child with a delay in two or more areas. There have been a number of new programs implemented at Mount Evelyn SDS this year as well. A MyTime program runs regularly on a Thursday for any parent or carer of a young child with a disability. A play program in conjunction with Mount Evelyn SDS for the Prep students provides the young students with an opportunity to play, practice sharing, taking turns and interacting with their peers in a supported and welcoming environment. At the other end of the school, a work experience program for our students in their final years is being implemented. Students have the opportunity to do real jobs both within and external to the school and are supported by the staff in their placement. The school is always on the lookout for any new work experience opportunities, if you think you could help contact Matt Shakespeare on 9736 2499.

Schooled in Anzac tradition By KATH GANNAWAY STUDENTS from 13 Upper Yarra primary schools conducted the annual schools’ Anzac Commemoration Ceremony at the Upper Yarra RSL last week. For the Grade 6 students, the annual event has become something of an

end-of-primary school rite of passage where maturity shines through in their ownership of the service. Special guests included veterans, RSL state branch representatives state senior vice-president Dr Robert Webster and treasurer John Cullen and Yarra Ranges councillor Jim Child.

Cr Child spoke about the legacy of the sacrifices made. “It’s an important day in recognising the legacy of our service men and women. That legacy has to be passed on to someone, and that someone is you,” he said. Please take that legacy away and re-

member it forever.” Students from each school presented different aspects of the service. They laid wreaths and crosses, spoke in an eloquent and informed way on aspects of war including, Gallipoli, women in service, the meaning behind the poppy and Simpson and his donkey, led The Ode and prayers, and

raised and lowered the flags. The students thanked the RSL, Upper Yarra Museum, Ben’s Shed, the Defence Force School of Signals and the veterans for assisting them. “This will be a memorable day for us all,” MCs Will and Zoe from Launching Place Primary School said.

Students are moved to tears By REBECCA BILLS SOME 500 Year 9 students from across the hills and Yarra Valley came together to celebrate what it means to be a young person in Australia. With the theme, “Our Voice, Our Impact,” students gathered at Discovery Church in Mount Evelyn to listen to speaker and Paralympic Games gold medallist Kurt Fearnley, who related his story of commitment to his dreams. Youth and Community Engagement co-ordinator Loren Hedger said Mr Fearnley’s story did not leave a dry eye in the house. “It was amazing even for me as an adult to have the opportunity to hear from someone like him,” she said. “He spoke about his gold medals and how he crawled the Kokoda Track as well as racing and being a part of the winning team in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. “He really inspired the students to stay committed and motivated to achieving their goals.” Ms Hedger said despite National Youth Week being in April, the Youth Services 2014 Youth Summit was still part of the celebration.

“It’s been put on to celebrate young people, celebrate leadership, and inspire young people locally,” she said. “We had a mix of presenters including a local young person showing that you don’t have to be famous to be a leader. “Young people are the leaders now and in the future.” Other speakers at the event included mayor Fiona McAllister as well as performances from an Indigenous hip hop crew with themes of the day being cyber safety and self-esteem. Students flocked to social media outlet Instagram to post photos of the event with comments such as “the day taught me heaps” and “it really helped me”- just a few of the positive feedback messages from the day. Mater Christi College principal Mary FitzGerald said the staff of Yarra Ranges Youth Services was very tuned into the language and ideas of students. “Their work with our leaders had been an important part of the leadership formation of our girls,” she said.

Seville Recreation Reserve will have a $380,000 playground and picnic area developed, with the help of aVictorian Government contribution, while drainage along the Warburton Highway will receive $130,000 in works in Launching Place. A number of other projects are included in the program, including extensive footpath and road works around the area. Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister said that a number of cost savings were recorded in this year’s budget, due to a $650,000 reduction in salaries and wages, reductions in general expenditure to the tune of $1.7 million and re-tendering the waste contract, saving $1.5 million. However, a council spokesperson confirmed that re-tendering the waste contract was not regarding the proposed closure of Healesville’s Waste Transfer Station and a reduction of hours at Wesburn’s facility, but was in regards to kerbside collection. Cr McAllister said that all of the documents released in last week’s meeting were significant for the running of council, and urged residents and community groups to read them and provide feedback. “These documents will steer us for the next 12 months and need to reflect community views,” she said. She said that residents’ submissions can be as long as they wish them to be or could be as small as a single sentence, providing feedback. “A submission can be as simple as a couple of lines telling us your thoughts on these documents,” Cr McAllister said. Public submissions on the draft documents are due by 5pm on 5 June, and the council will consider all submissions at a Committee Meeting on 10 June. Residents may be able to speak on their submission at the meeting, but will need to specify this in their submission. The draft 2014-2015 Budget, proposed Council Plan and Long-Term Financial Plan can be viewed at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au or at the council’s Community Link buildings. To make a submission, follow the prompts on the council’s website or write to PO Box 105, Lilydale, 3140.

RATES will rise consistently over the coming four years in the Yarra Ranges, according to the recently-released draft budget. However, one councillor has said that more can be done to cut increases. The Yarra Ranges Council released its draft budget for the coming financial year, a draft update to the Council Plan 2013-2017 and its Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) 2014-15 to 2023-24 last week. At the special meeting, held on Tuesday 6 May, the drafts were unanimously accepted by councillors, and a community feedback period was opened for the documents until 5 June. Over the coming financial year, rates are set to rise by 4.8 per cent - the same increase as in the 2013-2014 year. In the budget papers, the rate increases for each year up until 2017-2018 are projected to also be 4.8 per cent. Councillors Jim Child and Andy Witlox both praised the draft documents at the council meeting, and emphasised the importance of the community providing feedback on the documents before they are officially adopted. While he said the rate rises in the coming year were relatively low, Cr Witlox said that more could be done to reduce pressure on rates, such as continuing to look at reducing costs in council. “I think this council is actively looking at our budget and trying to keep down rates,” he said. “I think 4.8 per cent is better than most councils, but I still think we can do better.” “I think we’ll keep going with our process to keep down pressures on rates and looking at efficiencies in the organisation – my goal would be 3.8 per cent as a rating strategy. In 2014-2015, around $120,416,000 will be raised from rates alone - up from $114,296,000 in the 2013-2014 year. According to the draft budget, 2.3 per cent of the rate increase will go towards maintaining services and meeting costs from external influences – including reduction in Victorian Grants Commission allocations. The other 2.5 per cent will go towards the council’s $33.3 million Capital Works program, which will see a number of large-scale projects take place in the municipality. In the Yarra Valley, the council’s Capital Works program will address sporting projects such as a $600,000 upgrade of the Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve oval, which includes a

The girls said while it was great fun making the bands, they also had a lot of fun time selling them and seeing the dollars mounting towards their new netball equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sold a lot at school but also at the cricket and basketball and people were really supportive, buying more than one band a lot of the time,â&#x20AC;?

LILYDALE Criminal Investigation Unit is looking to CCTV footage to identify people responsible for a spate of burglaries in the Upper Yarra area. Thieves broke into Wesburn Pony Club, Warburton Chalet and Warburton Millgrove Football Club overnight on 5-6 May and stole soft-drink, alcohol and confectionery. Senior Constable Jamie Cumming said CCTV cameras captured some of the offenders at the football club and police are working to establish their identity. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Lilydale CIU on 9739 2300.

TWO deer hunters face firearms charges after being found with loaded rifles in Yarra Ranges National Park on Saturday. A 21-year-old Launching Place man and a 30-year-old from Montrose were arrested by Warburton police at Cambarville between Reefton and Marysville on 10 May. Both men were part of a group of hunters who were tracking deer with dogs from the legal hunting area in Big River through to the Yarra Ranges National Park. Leading Senior Constable Tony Pagels said hunting in any national park is prohibited. He said the men were arrested as they were standing on the side of the Marysville-Woods Point Road and Cambarville Road while they were in possession of loaded high-powered rifles. Police seized their hunting equipment and they are expected to be charged on summons for multiple firearms offences.

YARRA Junction Primary School students Cougar Cowan and Tahlia Thompson turned a looming fad into a successful fund-raiser to generate $765 to purchase netball rings for the school. The girls, who received the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leader of the Term Award for their initiative, got in early on the loom band craze and worked their clever fingers overtime making the popular bands to sell to friends and family as well as at local sporting events.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play netball every Friday at the Yarra Centre and wanted to be able to train at school but our netball rings broke,â&#x20AC;? Cougar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to raise as much money as possible to put towards new netball equipment,â&#x20AC;? she said. Tahlia was just as keen to hone her netball skills and together the girls made hundreds of the wrist bands and sold them for $1 each. School netball coach Kate Cairns said the school has five teams in the Yarra Junction Junior Netball Club and praised

A MAN in his fifties is in hospital with serious injuries after his car crashed into a tree in Warburton yesterday morning (Monday). Upper Yarra SES volunteers worked alongside Yarra Junction paramedics to free the driver who was trapped in the vehicle. SES spokesman Russell Wulf said a unit was called out at 10.30am and removed the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side door to enable paramedics to attend to the man while more work was done to open the car up for easier access. The man was travelling on the straight stretch of Woods Point Road between Big Pats Creek Road and Donna Buang Road when he veered off the road and hit the tree. Mr Wulf said the man was unlucky to hit the only tree on a long section of road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reflection on the circumstances of this crash but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a timely reminder that all drivers need to adapt their driving to the wet conditions when you have weather like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the roads are slippery you have to pay attention.â&#x20AC;? Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman Grace Keyworth said the man had lower leg injuries and was flown to the Royal Melbourne Hospital by air ambulance in a serious but stable condition.

Pat on back for foster mums MOTHER’S Day fell on 11 May, and with the role of mothers being celebrated around the country, Animal Aid would like to give our warmest wishes to all of our foster mums and families. Our foster families do such a fabulous job caring for and raising hundreds of kittens and puppies as well as helping special cases that have behavioural issues or are recovering from surgery, or an emotional trauma they have been through. This labour of love can be a very

Animal

aid

Debra Boland

emotional and labour-intensive experience, but we are so often told of the rewards that our foster carers reap. Seeing their temporary charges claim the ultimate prize of finding happiness in a loving home is all they need

to spur them on to do the next litter or individual case. The length of their fostering role can be as little as a few days to a few months depending on the individual circumstance. As you can imagine, sometimes very strong attachments can form and you can see that returning them can be a bit tough, but if you can keep your eye on the ultimate goal, then it is absolutely worth a little heartache for such a great win for the particular cat or dog or rabbit or guinea pig. More often than you would like to believe,

we need to source foster care for a very special group of pets, those belonging to families experiencing domestic violence. These cases need refuge while their family re-establishes themselves in safe and stable new environment. Finally, we also have permanent foster families as well for our small livestock and have placed many sheep, goats and pigs with wonderful families. Fostering plays such a significant role in why our rehoming rates are so high, particularly for cats.

Pros and cons of cat curfew OCTOBER will mark the beginning of the controversial cat curfew in the Yarra Ranges, which will see cats confined to their owner’s property at all hours. A Yarra Ranges Council spokesperson confirmed to the Mail that 1 October would be the beginning of the cat curfew for the entire municipality. The curfew will mean that cat owners must ensure their animal stays within the confines of their property at day and night, with penalties for owners of cats caught by neighbours. Yarra Ranges Council’s director of Planning, Building and Health, Andrew Paxton, said residents would experience “very little” change under the new curfew. “It (the curfew) will be used to respond to customer complaints about nuisance cats, which is the current practice,” he said. “It is often difficult for council officers to know what time of day or night a wandering cat

was trapped – the 24-hour curfew will provide more clarity around this process. “The curfew will not involve council officers patrolling for wandering cats.” Mr Paxton said that, with around five months until the curfew comes into place, cat owners have the time to understand their responsibilities and make arrangements to keep cats on their property. The public response to the announcement of the curfew’s endorsement on 11 March was explosive, with letters written to the council and the Mail, numerous comments online and over 2000 people signing an online petition against the curfew. However, many commentators against the curfew have criticised the curfew as being ‘cruel’, for confining animals to inside areas – the curfew only restricts the animals to the owner’s property’s fence-line. The council also only officially accepts petitions which include the addresses of signatories, making the current online petition not acceptable.

According to the council’s website, cats roaming outside of their owner’s property have caused issues from fighting with pets on neighbouring properties, attacking and killing wildlife, along with urinating and defecating on outsiders’ properties. The Mail asked the council how many responses had been sent to the council regarding the curfew since the council endorsed the changes, and how many of these were for and against the proposal. Mr Paxton said the council had received responses both for and against the curfew since it was endorsed by council. The council was asked how it would respond to the concerns of some residents that vermin populations could rise under the curfew – no response was given. The Yarra Ranges Council will be the fifth municipality in Victoria to bring in a 24-hour cat curfew. For more information on the curfew and its implications, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

ACCESSIBLE tourism is an untapped market that Yarra Ranges is missing out on, according to speakers at a seminar held at Yarra Glen last week. Tourism and business operators from across the shire were at the Memorial Hall to hear about a sector that currently represents 11 per cent of the tourism market but which it is estimated could make up 25 per cent of the market by 2020 with ‘Baby Boomers’ included in the demographic. The seminar, presented by Yarra Ranges Tourism, Yarra Ranges Council and Tourism Victoria on Thursday, 8 May, was attended by more than 40 operators. “The new frontier of the tourism industry is understanding that accessible tourism is a viable and valuable market segment,” one of two guest speakers, Bill Forrester from Travability said, speaking on the economics of inclusive tourism. He challenged the view of operators in terms of their perspective of people with a disability which he said most often came down to non-participative, passive, travelling with a carer and looking to the lower end of the market. “I want to change those perceptions. The thing to remember about disability, it’s the only minority group in the world that anybody can join in an instant,” he said. He showed examples overseas where operators had succeeded in capturing the disabil-

it meant, not only in a business sense, but on a personal level, to offer an opportunity for someone to experience a part of life that was not available to them previously. Injured in a serious motorcycle crash in 2010, Mr Saunders’ ability was significantly compromised as he went through a lengthy rehabilitation. It led to connections with TAC and later with SCOPE and the development of the accessible basket. “You feel very proud if you can offer a person an experience that’s not been available to them before,” he said. While his message was about the social and emotional investment, it also was very much about broadening those experiences as a region. “I would love to think we have a quantum accessibility tourism operation here,” he said. “I would like to see conversations about making this region an accessible tourism region and I encourage everyone in this room to take up the dialogue,” he said. Mr Forrester and Mr Saunders were joined by Paul Albone from Tourism Victoria, Yarra Ranges Council’s Disability Advisory Committee member Cliff Wise and local business operators Jodie Philipsen of Devine Escape in Dixons Creek and Brad Stevens from Loft in the Mill for a question and answer session after the presentations.

Opinion Let pussy be free I HEREBY lodge a complaint against the council members for even suggesting locking up innocent cats until you can support actual facts based upon statistical researched figures. Civic by-laws, one would think, should require a more professional level of intelligence, especially as you are representing the largest geographical area in Victoria. All animals, irrespective of breed deserve a fair go, just as you have already declared that cockatoos, possums, borderline dog breeds, dangerous snakes and every other troublesome beasty deserves their own freedom. Just where you, our publicly elected civic leaders, believe that you have the divine right to react to every frivolous, excited, emotional-minded, mental stateof-minded person who have and will forever hate, motorbikes, hoons, wasps, plus an ever-growing population of human animals, drunks, thugs, criminals, murderers, residents who are allowed to commit crimes, who roam our streets; stealing, thieving, smashing other residents’ property, and poisoning every type of animal. We have more than enough bitter discrimination in this country which goes unabated, and yet you believe a defenceless pussycat, innocent until found guilty, must be locked up. All dogs and cats are required to have a chip surgically inserted, to ensure they pay their way, and can be traced if lost or caught roaming the streets day and night. Why is that not enough, purely because a minority of bloody-minded residents must vent their inbred hatred for anything they do not like, exaggerating the truth to get away with it. Tolerance is a very rare and precious trait, think about those old age defenceless people in our shire and children must they be brought to account to suffer if their pet (their precious family member, usually their only friend in the world) is

Send your letters to: editor@yvnews.com.au locked up just to appease those intolerant selfish minority individuals? If they need an immediate remedy, advise them to place a full clear plastic bottle of water outside wherever they have a problem, it deters cats every time. Proven fact. Terry Prendergast, Healesville.

HAG tip petition HEALESVILLE Action Group (HAG) would like to thank the 174 residents who signed our petition against the closure of the Healesville Transfer Station at the Healesville Community Market on Sunday and also to those who lodged formal objections by email and through the council website. If only the council officers and those supporting this closure could have been present to hear the comments and suggestions as to what residents thought should be done to them, they would be running for cover. Some of the suggestions put forward were stoning, flogging, tar and feathering - some of the others can’t be mentioned here! Among the more obvious suggestions were, where are our old tip vouchers? The council is there to provide a service for our rates, not as a revenue raising business. If our administration can’t provide this service, perhaps it is time they moved on. John Rosser, Convener, Healesville Action Group.

Council ‘lost’ on tip HAS council lost its way? It is with great concern that Healesville Chamber of Commerce (HCC), representing some 90-plus businesses in and around Healesville, has become aware of council plans to close the Healesville

Waste Transfer Station (WTS) in early 2015. Why? HCC has read the reasoning for closure on council’s website and does not accept it. There has been ‘little effective’ consultation with the community, the service provided by the Healesville WTS is for the benefit of the entire community - and is a necessary service that should not have to run at a profit to justify its existence. It is a basic service the council should be prepared to provide. HCC is deeply concerned that council is looking at ‘basic services’ to ‘cut costs’, when in fact it should consider other areas of council, not running at a profit, that are not services required by the ‘whole community.’ Council appears to have ‘lost its way’ in determining what basic services it should be providing for the community, and we urge it to re-consider. Once again it appears outlying areas such as Healesville and surrounds, and the Upper Yarra are being penalised, because they have a smaller ratepayer base. The fact that there are elements of the Healesville WTS ‘contract’, or otherwise, that council does not wish to make public, further diminishes the community’s trust in council. All facts regarding this operation should be made known. How can council possibly justify around 10,500 residents from Healesville and surrounds having to take their waste to the Coldstream operation and saying that is not an extra cost on ratepayers and residents? Ratepayers, businesses and residents should rightfully be able to expect council to provide basic services. We urge council to look at other ‘cost-saving’ measures, rather than try and close down basic services. Graham Taylor, President, Healesville Chamber of Commerce.

Fighting extinction AFTER 25 years of fighting extinction, and in the lead-up to their birthday later this month, the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater (FOHH) have cause to celebrate. Local people who participated in education programs as schoolchildren are now returning as young adults to join the recovery program. Many have undertaken studies and employment in environmental fields, and now volunteer their time to assist with supplementary feeding and bird monitoring. Environmental Co-ordinator James Frazer says it’s an endorsement of their long-standing education program. “We have made a difference to people’s way of seeing and valuing the natural world, and sparked lifelong engagement in Helmeted Honeyeater recovery from our community,” he said. “It has become a truly intergenerational endeavour.” A core goal of educating the community has remained unchanged for the group’s 25

Connecting people and communities MVM

years with talks to thousands of students and community members. “We encourage as many schools as possible to visit Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve and take the opportunity to undertake a habitat planting. Habitat loss has been one of the key drivers of extinction for the bird,” he said. “Our nursery has supplied over 700,000 plants for local revegetation activities and

over the last three years alone we have planted around 40,500 plants into degraded areas of the reserve.” The education program has also changed as schools have increased environmental education. “We are now seeing more students with good foundational knowledge of the environment. Our job is to help them understand how the Helmeted Honeyeater fits into the wider picture they are learning about,” he said. Mr Frazer said the high level of support from local schools demonstrated there was strong local knowledge and desire to support Helmeted Honeyeater recovery. “Over time the Helmeted Honeyeater story has been woven into the fabric of local identity. “People see the Helmeted Honeyeater as ‘their’ bird - it is found nowhere else in the world, so we have to protect what is special to us,” he said.

The town of Healesville was named after Victorian politician Richard Heales.

Man behind the name HEALESVILLE’S 150th birthday year is well underway, with some amazing events planned. But who was Healesville actually named after? Well, here we go! Healesville was named after Richard Heales (1821-1864), a politician and temperance reformer. He was born in London, son of Richard Heales (18011882), an ironmonger who migrated to Victoria, and his wife Elizabeth. He served an apprenticeship in London and at 19 married Rhoda, nee Parker. In February 1842, they arrived in Melbourne as bounty emigrants on the Himalaya. At first unable to find work except as a day labourer, Heales was by 1847 listed in almanacs as a coachbuilder in Collins Lane, and later he had a business in Lonsdale Street. In February 1843 he was made secretary and his father president of the newly-formed Total Abstinence Society. Heales was mainly responsible for the building of the Temperance Hall in 1847 and by 1850 was widely known as a temperance speaker. In November he entered Melbourne City Council, defeating John O’Shanassy in Gipps ward. He told his constituents that he hoped the time was near when ‘the nomination and the poll would no longer be the arena of vice and intemperance, but when the election of the candidate would be the result of the people’s choice,’ and proposed successfully, that the practice of holding council elections in public houses be discontinued. This success, his support for secret ballot, anti-transportation and early closing,

together with his temperance work, won him repute as a democrat and reformer dedicated to the social and moral improvement of the working classes. Heales stood for the Melbourne seat in the Legislative Assembly in August 1856, and went on to have a distinguished career as a politician. His policy was popular and included the establishment of a general system of education and a system which would provide land for bona fide agriculturalists, but leave no opportunities for speculators. In April 1864, Heales was granted leave from parliament for the sake of his health. Aged 42, he died on 19 June at his Elsternwick home from tuberculosis, aggravated by overwork. He was survived by his wife, six sons and two daughters. Parliament voted to give 3000 pounds for his family’s support and Healesville was later named after him. He was a popular figure, honoured for long devotion to the temperance cause, respected for his unselfishness, humility and honesty, and admired for his business success and his increasingly important political work.

Intense crash injures two By JESSE GRAHAM

THE development of a railway line connecting Yarra Glen and Healesville has been bolstered by a donation of rail, which will help to create bridges between the towns. On Friday 9 May, Metro Trains delivered a load of lifeexpired rails to Lilydale Station, to be donated to the Yarra Valley Railway (YVR) for the redevelopment of the tourist train line. The rails, which were taken to Yarra Glen by truck, were given to the group at no cost, and will be recycled to form the supporting rail decking for some of the 16 railway bridges being rebuilt.

TWO drivers were taken to hospital with minor injuries last week, after an intense collision on the Maroondah Highway in Coldstream. The crash occurred at 5.36pm on Monday 5 May, where two cars collided at the traffic lights that intersect the Maroondah and Melba highways. Both cars received extensive amounts of damage in the crash, with the front sections of the cars destroyed. A section of the Healesville-bound lane of the Maroondah Highway was closed to the public for around an hour, as emergency services redirected traffic towards Yarra Glen. The two drivers - a man in his twenties and a man in his sixties were both taken to Maroondah Hospital by ambulance in stable conditions. An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said both drivers received minor injuries in the crash, and that noone was trapped in the vehicles. Coldstream Fire Brigade Captain John Fenton said that crews were on the scene until around 6.45pm, when the wreckage was cleared. He said the crash was the third for the area in the last 10 days. A Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officer interviewed people at the scene of the crash on the night. The Mail attempted to contact the Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol for comment on the crash, but no member was available for comment before deadline.

dent, Brett Morton, said the group was extremely grateful for the donation, which he said would cut down costs and working times in re-creating the line. “The transporting of the rail ... has saved the railway on transport costs and hundreds of hours in volunteer labour,” he said. “The Yarra Valley Railway is extremely grateful to Metro Trains for the ongoing assistance in transporting the rail for the bridges.” The YVR recently signed off on a grant from the Federal Government for $3.5 million to help reconstruct the historic railway line. Through that grant, YVR

is receiving rail, sleepers, infrastructure and bridge beams from the Victorian Government and through the Office of the Registrar of Tourist and Heritage Railways. Minister for Public Transport Terry Mulder said the government was ‘delighted’ to be assisting with the redevelopment. “The Yarra Valley Railway’s many volunteers come from all walks of life and deserve our respect,” he said. The rail line between Yarra Glen and Healesville is expected to open to the public around 2016-’17, and involves volunteers and contractors rebuilding eight kilometres of track and 16 railway bridges.

Watch this (election) space By KATH GANNAWAY THE Yarra Valley will benefit from across the board funding announced in last week’s state 2014-’15 budget, according to Seymour Liberal MP and endorsed candidate for the new seat of Eildon Cindy McLeish. In terms of targeted funding for Yarra Valley communities, Ms McLeish said full details would be rolled out over time. Infrastructure and services for rural communities is an issue, however, that Labor Party candidate for Eildon Sally Brennan says will be put under the microscope as the state moves towards the November election.

The largest single item in the budget was $3.2 million to establish the Yellingbo Conservation Area to protect the helmeted honeyeater and lowland Leadbeater’s possum. Steels Creek and East Warburton could have a share of the $40 million Regional Connectivity Program to help fix mobile phone black spots of which $24 million is available to rural communities dependent on the Federal Government allocating funding from its $100 million black spot program. At this stage the Federal Government is still working through which rural communities will get funding, but Ms McLeish said she would expect the two bushfire affected townships at

either end of the valley to be a high priority. Ms McLeish said there was funding in the budget for health, of which Healesville Hospital benefited, for tourism, which again would benefit Yarra Ranges region, and for payroll relief which would benefit the small business sector. Money for the CFA and to increase prison capacity, money to combat methamphetamine use, for mental health, $1.2 billion for education and training, and support for families were all budget initiatives which she said would benefit all Victorians, including those in the Yarra Valley. “With a lot of what’s been allocated

in the budget, things will continue to be rolled out. “When you look at the $5.5 for landcare, that’s providing 16 support staff for the two years and that groups can apply for as part of that funding,” she said. Ms Brennan, however, said rural communities have borne the brunt of a budget that is more about creating a surplus than providing for real needs of rural people. “If you look at infrastructure, 25 per cent of Victorians live in the country, but they have got just 4 per cent of the total infrastructure budget. “There is no TAFE presence in Eildon and what does that mean for the

people who live in regional areas like Alexandra and Mansfield, and Healesville.” She said improved transport, particularly increased bus services, was a huge issue which was not funded. Ms Brennan said some of the areas for which there is an acute need in rural areas are increased MICA ambulances, funding for kindergarten hours and education. Ms McLeish said people need to wait and see what the budget delivers when the details are outlined but added that the current budget was real money committed now. “We haven’t started on election commitments yet,” she said.

Viewers tune in to fears of ABC cuts By MELISSA MEEHAN HE WAS out of the office on business, but a protest outside Casey MP Tony Smith’s office on Thursday sent a strong message. More than 20 Yarra Ranges residents came together, some dressed up as their favourite ABC staff and characters on Thursday to support that the broadcaster be fully funded and free of ads. Lilydale’s Tony Inglese dressed up as a foreign correspondent and said that the ABC was crucial to all Australians.

“The ABC lets us know what is happening around the world,” Mr Inglese said. “The commercial networks don’t always cover what is happening, but the ABC does.” Mr Inglese said he was concerned about the future for his seven grandchildren. “Without the ABC it’s just tunnel vision,” he said. “We need to know what is really happening.” Silvan resident Pam Vroland said that the ABC

was an important part of Australian broadcasting. “It’s so good for Australia,” she said. “It’s not just about television news, but people listen to radio, too.” Mr Smith said that while he was not in the office during the protest, his staff accepted a petition signed by 1761 residents. “I always welcome constituents putting their views forward to me,” he said. “I have always had a lot Tony Inglese dressed as a foreign correspondent with other protesters outside Casey MP Tony Smith’s of love for the ABC.” Picture: MELISSA MEEHAN Chirnside Park office. 119974

Public Notice – Update from SHH Action Group. The Save Healesville Hospital Action Group thanks the residents of the Yarra Valley for saving Healesville Hospital. Your voice has been successful but there is misinformation circulating. Following Eastern Health’s (EH) disastrous public meetings in Oct and Dec 2012, the Save Healesville Hospital Action Group was formed. Our purpose was to represent the community’s views and ensure the best options for health services were achieved. We met with the Eastern Health Board on two occasions, but there were No concessions. We responded with an information forum with politicians in March 2013. There the voice of community was loud and unambiguous. “People power” and 3000 postcards to the Premier opened a dialogue with the Minister of Health David Davis, who has constructively met with us 4 times. Only this public and political pressure made the Eastern Health Board amend their clinical services plan to retain surgery. We exposed EH misinformation, citing “new or increased services” when there are less surgical services now than 2009. The “good news” is the return of limited gynecology procedures and the following ‘promises’: to retain surgical services, more operating lists, 6 renal dialysis chairs, consulting specialists,, no loss of community health facilities and services and an extra $4.6 million for hospital redevelopment. The “bad news” is no plan to return birthing services or an antenatal mother/baby facility, no change to the main geriatric and rehabilitation style of inpatient care, no consultation with local doctors to increase GP access and no new surgical specialties that are much needed i.e. orthopaedics. We lost access to maternity services - cut back slowly over 18 months until portrayed as ‘no longer viable’. If you reduce access, you reduce beds and the result is that you reduce inancial viability and risk closure. We have been offered no meaningful input to the hospital redevelopment, contrary to what the Pulse Newsletter says. We were asked to provide input solely on ‘parking, grounds, waiting rooms and signage at the hospital’. We wanted to ensure the redesign gives us the facilities to deliver the services the community needs. We met with the CEO and their public relations consultant. Neither of these meeting brought any optimism or comfort, in fact the opposite. It appears that the new theatre is not going to happen and that the old theatre is being refurbished. All surgery will stop during this process. Will it start again with skilled staff available? The Action Group has commissioned a business study to examine the options, including viability as an independent Small Rural Health Service. The study is funded by community donations and a Federal Government grant obtained by the member for Casey, Mr. Tony Smith. Your donations are invited and most welcome. Every little bit helps. Our account Save Healesville Hospital Action Group is at the Bendigo Bank No 633-000 151332996. Share your views on these developments on the ‘savehealesvillehospital’ Facebook page. You can make the difference. There is a State Government election in November and we need to use this opportunity to get the health services we need.

Big dose of arts is on the way

Top singer has her message By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON Seventh-day Adventist Church will host one of only two Victorian concerts by Christian singer/ songwriter and author Naomi Striemer. Ms Striemer was on a career path to international fame at 18 after signing a record deal with Sony. The story of how a chance meet-

ing with a chauffeur delivering a message from an angel took her on a very different journey is as amazing and compelling as her acclaimed voice and connection with her audience. More than a decade on, the acclaimed CanadianAmerican is spreading a message of Christian faith through testimony and song.

By DAVID ALLEGRETTI

She will perform in a free concert at the SDA Church, 3490 Warburton Highway, Warburton on Saturday 17 May, at 7.30pm. A collection will be taken supporting Christian Mission of Compassion International Child Sponsorship. There is no need to book but further information is available on 0419 366 931.

Love forged in nature for singles By JESSE GRAHAM DO you plant here often? Singles are being invited to pitch in for the local environment and perhaps find love along the way, in the latest Landcare for Singles event in Badger Creek. The event will begin at 10.30am on Sunday 18 May along Coranderrk Creek in Badger Creek, running through until 2pm. Marketed as a ‘speed planting’ (rather than ‘speed dating’) event, participants will plant with a new person every eight minutes, rotating through the group, before joining the whole group to mingle

the ‘love box’ for one of their fellow planters, and if they leave one in return, the co-ordinators can pass on each other’s details. Prizes will be available for avid gardeners on the day, including double passes to the Healesville Sanctuary and Beechworth Bakery coffee vouchers. Ms Garth said the event would be a good day for socialising with new people and helping the local environment. “I’d welcome them to come out, enjoy a bit of light exercise, have fun meeting new people and doing a little bit to improve the wildlife corridor that links the

over lunch. The Landcare for Singles event is being hosted by Yarra Ranges Landcare Network and is run by the Yarra Ranges Council. Mount Toolebewong and District Landcare’s Karen Garth said around 50 people had already confirmed their attendance at the event, which was open for those aged 18 through to 80. Ms Garth said the group was hoping to get more men registering for the event to even up numbers, and that the event offered a non-threatening environment for meeting new people. She said that, at the end of the event, attendees can put a note in

mountains through the Healesville Sanctuary to the Yarra,” she said. Registering for the Landcare for Singles event is essential, and there is no costs associated with the event - lunch is provided freeof-charge by Healesville Country Women’s Association. Attendees will need to bring gloves, gumboots or sturdy shoes, outdoor clothing and wet weather gear and a chair.

sity of local musicians, storytellers and dancers whose talents bring joy year round - but really shine at the Harmony Festival. There will be an array of meditations, workshops, dialogues, talks, concerts, films and more. For details, and to book events visit www. warburtonharmonyfestival.com , or phone Keith on 0499 272 820.

NOW SHOWING THE OTHER WOMAN

By SETH HYNES THOUGH it tries hard, The Other Woman isn’t as smart, funny or empowering as it thinks it is. When Carly (Cameron Diaz) discovers that her boyfriend Mark (Nikolau CosterWaldau)is married, she teams up with Mark’s wife Kate (Leslie Mann) and his other mistress Amber (Kate Upton) to get revenge on him. An absurdist comedy about three women who were mutually cheated upon becoming unlikely friends, The Other Woman draws obvious

inspiration from similar films such as 9 To 5 and The First Wives Club, only with a far more contrived result. But to the film’s credit, the main characters have a cute relationship and there are some good laughs here and there. However, the humour is often forced and the leads are too abrasive (Diaz), obnoxiously ditzy (Mann) or vapid (Upton) for you to enjoy spending the 109 minute runtime watching them. The middle act also contains far too many cheap, juvenile pranks, although the eyerolling poop joke does

actually have a clever conclusion. The Other Woman briefly flirts with themes of forgiveness and the possibility that Mark still loves Kate despite his infidelity. But the film quickly discards this attempt at moral nuance, as Mark is turned into a black and white bad guy for the unrelated issue of investment fraud, which the ladies use to take him down in the climax. Despite a promising start, The Other Woman ends up grating and simplistic.

SPEND WISELY TO SELL WELL THERE is an old adage that you have to spend money to make money and, when it comes to marketing property, there is truth in that. How are you going to sell your house if nobody knows about it? There’s a range of methods to market your home, and it’s important to get the right mix that will attract potential buyers and help to sell the home. This ranges from print to online advertising, to direct mail campaigns. These will highlight your property to an all-important audience - buyers who are looking in the local area for a property like yours. The advent of the internet and online advertising has some vendors believing a substantial

marketing campaign for their home or investment property is no longer necessary. After all, most people now begin their property search online and many attending open homes have already researched the property and the area. But there’s another saying - first impressions matter, and whether in print or online, the immediate impression made on buyers by your marketing can determine their ideas when they arrive to look at your home. This also includes the sign board at the front of your property, and how the home is presented. The overall impression can be greatly helped by gaining input from your real estate agent who is

qualified to advise you on this. The agent has extensive experience focusing on the strong points of your property and summing it up for those glancing quickly at your advertisement. Agents know what to highlight and in what order. When “packaging” the home for sale, you will be presented with a range of advertising options. This may include internet advertising on prime real estate sites, print advertising of various sizes in local papers, agency window boards, signboards with multiple or just one photograph, illuminated by a light or not, flyers and local letterboxing.

As outlined, presentation of your home - to create the right impression in photos, and at open for inspections - is also important. Does your house look immaculate yet welcoming, does it look spacious and desirable. Does it look so good they send a link to their friends? Your agent will offer tips on work to be done, whether you need to store belongings or possibly move some items of furniture around to create more space. Given the right advice, and taking the right steps, you’ll find the sales process much easier. You may need to spend to sell, but take your agent’s advice and spend wisely.

Cup glor y for Ewert By JOHN WOODS A COLD but fine spring-like morning greeted shooters at the April Upper Yarra Community Enterprise (UYCE) Cup Competition at the Woods Point Gun Club. It was interesting to discuss the insights of our sport with a shooter from another state in visitor Bill Webbe from South Australia. The day kicked off with the obligatory 10 target Eye opener that was shot both single barrel and double barrel points decision with Phillip Desmond and Alan Guppy the only shooters to score the maximum 20/20 and share the cash prize. The main event was the 80 target UYCE CUP sponsored by the Upper Yarra Community Enterprise Community Bank branches. Shot in four rounds, 20 targets Single Barrel, 20 Targets Double Barrel, 20 Targets Double Barrel Points score and 10 Pair Double Rise, the event had a touch of the four main competition events with many chances to shine or to fail. The conditions were not conducive to high scores as the shadows made the targets difficult and interesting. After the three 20-target stan-

The final round of 20 targets that would decide the winners was released as pairs with only two shots available to the competitor - a notoriously difficult event. Patten shot 14/20 for a final score of 105/120, but the Poiles did not

fare as well with their final scores, Daniel 100/120 and Laurie 99/100. Phillip Desmond’s 17/20 was well shot and that gave him a 103/120 total. Ewert struggled with 13/20, but his final total score of 107/120 was enough to take the 2014 UYCE Cup. Desmond took the AA Grade sash, 103/120, Ewert A Grade, 107/120, B Grade Chuck Lay 90/120

Upwey edges out Woori First Division A Grade Netball: Upwey Tecoma 44 d Woori Yallock 29 THIS was a pretty good win by Upwey who came up against a very competitive Woori side. Upwey looked in control for most of the game, but they did have to work hard for their goals. Upwey just had that little more fire power when in attack and that proved the difference in the end. Upwey Tecoma best players: G. Hankinson, J. Lingard (17 goals), M. Kennerley (27 goals). Woori Yallock best players: S. Southwick, C. Stafford, E. Hales. Belgrave 54 d Warburton Millgrove 33 A GOOD performance by Belgrave who did have to fight hard to get their 12-goal lead at half time. The third quarter is where Belgrave put the game beyond doubt scoring 17 goals to five and all of a sudden the margin was 25 goals. The last quarter Warby did outscore Belgrave by 15 goals-to-12 but it was to no avail as Belgrave walked away with a handy 21-goal victory. Belgrave best players: L. Read, B. Pilkington, L. Bennett (32 goals). Warburton Millgrove best players: A. Bryan, O. Caneva (14 goals), J. Lord. Mount Evelyn 50 d Healesville 44 THIS game was close up to half time with Healesville holding the smallest of margins. Mount Evelyn shot 15 goals-tonine in the third to take a handy lead of six goals into the last. They were never headed and walked away with the four points. Mount Evelyn best players: M. Hickey (19 goals), J. Walker, R. Hickey (31 goals). Healesville best players : C. Connell, L. Woodgate (25 goals), C. Jeffress. Wandin 53 d Monbulk Hawks 25 COMPREHENSIVE win from Wan-

din who jumped out to a nine-goal lead at the first change. They stretched that to 15 by the half and then blew it right out in the third with some great attacking play, scoring 17 goals-to-six to make the margin 26 goals. The last quarter was a lot more even. Wandin scoring 10 goals-to-eight to stretch the final margin just that little bit more. Wandin best players: S. Coppinger, M. Martinov, T. Coppinger. Monbulk Hawks best players: C. Weickhardt, H. Moffatt, B. Northey. Olinda Ferny Creek 38 d Emerald 37 THIS was a ripper contest from start to finish. The first quarter was as even as could be with both sides tied at eight goals. Olinda clicked into gear in the second scoring 13 goals-to-six and at the half they held a seven-goal lead. The third quarter Emerald hit back and played some of their best netball this season outscoring Olinda 14 goals-to-seven and the margin was just one goal in Olinda’s favour going into the last.

The last quarter was goal for goal and it was anyone’s game, but at the end of the day it was Olinda that was able to hold on and win by one goal in a thrilling contest. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: A. Padget, D. Portarianos, L. Conway. Emerald best players: S. Campbell (24 goals), E. Borg, R. Appleby. Second Division A Grade Netball: Yarra Glen 79 d Thornton Eildon 15 THIS was one of the more comprehensive victories that you’re ever likely to see. Yarra Glen was a picture of consistency over the entire four quarters. They scored 18 goals in the first quarter, 21 in the second, 19 in the third and finished with 21 in the last. Thornton just didn’t have any answers as Yarra Glen showed they are certainly going to be one hell of a hard team to knock off this year. Yarra Glen best players: H. Grubb, S. Moate, P. Fay. Thornton Eildon best players: J. Oakley (6 goals), A. Keddell (2 goals), M. Sier. Yarra Junction 46 d Kinglake 23 A VERY good four-quarter performance from Yarra Junction who won in fine style eventually doubling their opponents score. Junction got out to a 16-goal lead at half time and was never really troubled, their second half continued in the same was as they just kept increasing the margin to eventually win by a comfortable 23 goals. Yarra Junction best players: R. Young, C. Cook, C. Richards. Kinglake best players: A. Luks (14 goals), M. Gill, E. Coen (9 goals). Seville v Yea (match abandoned). Alexandra: Bye Powelltown: Bye

and Daniel Poile the C Grade sash, 100/120. In A Grade, Patten’s 105/110 won second place easily with John Wood second in B Grade 83/120. Junior shooter Matt Ewert was second in C Grade, 95/120. The shade over the shooting ground had improved a bit for the 20 target Handicap UYCE Championship, but the effect on the scores was still quite major. Five shooters recorded 18/20 to shoot off for the championship sash, Garry Ewert, Luke Poile, Daniel Poile, Daryl Ewert and Phillip Desmond. After a relatively short shoot off, Desmond shooting from the maximum back mark of 25 metres wore the sash with a score of 26/28. G. Ewert took second place, 25/28, Poile (L) third, 24/27 and D. Ewert fourth, 21/24. Junior High Gun for the day was Matt Ewert, 112/140. Cheryl Apps took control of the kitchen and we had a marvellous lunch and arvo tea. The next shoot is on Sunday, 25 May, starting 10.30am and includes the infamous Howqua River Deauville Quadruples. For information phone 9808 2693.

Belgrave’s a belter WET and slippery conditions greeted all players in the Yarra Valley Mountain District ‘Community Bank’ Football Netball League. Division 1 saw Olinda Ferny Creek take back the top spot just by a percentage over Monbulk, while in Division 2 Yarra Glen are on top only by a percentage over Seville.

Action from the Alexandra v Gembrook Cockatoo game.

FIRST DIVISION SENIORS:

Belgrave 14.16 (100) d Warburton Millgrove 8.6 (54) BELGRAVE got back on the winners’ list with a great second half performance to win by a comfortable 46 points. Warby was more than just competitive in the first half as they went to the main break just three points down and were right in the match. Belgrave however produced arguably their best half of footy this season booting eight goals-to-two and started to show some of the good form that they are capable of. Belgrave best players: T. McNamara (4 goals), C. Kelf, E. Clasby. Warburton Millgrove best players: B. Murphy, L. Barnard, M. Lewis (1 goal). Healesville 11.15 (81) d Mount Evelyn 11.12 (78) HEALESVILLE celebrated their second win of the year with a stirring come- from-behind, three-point victory over Mount Evelyn, which seemed to be in control of the game up to three-quarter time. Mount Evelyn did lead all day up until then, but Healesville remained in touch being just 14 points down at three- quarter time. In the last quarter, Mount Evelyn seemed to go into their shell a bit as Healesville actually peppered the goals, and booting 3.6 they realistically should have won by a couple of goals.Mount Evelyn only managed the two scoring shots for the term producing 1.1 but it was Healesville’s quarter and with that Healesville’s victory as well. Healesville best players: A. Davies (1 goal), L. Barclay (1 goal), B. Miller. Mount Evelyn best players: R. Hartfield (5 goals), C. Carmody (3 goals), C. Urquhart. Olinda Ferny Creek 15.8 (98) d Emerald 8.9 (57) Not the prettiest game of footy one could have witnessed, but a 41-point win that Olinda will happily accept. Emerald has struggled to date and is winless, but they certainly put up a fight in the first half and were only 16 points down at the long break. The seond half was where the difference between class and fitness of the two sides showed out as Olinda slowly stretched the lead out and was never really threatened. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: D. Noorda, B. O’Neill (2 goals), M. Rosier (4 goals). Emerald best players: L. McKenna, S. Wright, J. Taylor. Wandin 9.10 (64) d Monbulk 7.16 (58) BAD kicking is bad football and unfortunately for Monbulk that was their undoing. This was an extremely close game right throughout, with the mar-

gin never getting beyond two goals. Wandin was certainly more efficient and slotted important goals when needed whereas Monbulk had more chances but just couldn’t convert. At the end of the day, Monbulk will feel this is a game that they let slip but make no mistake, the better team did win the battle in the end. Wandin best players: B. Chapman, J. Bayliss (4 goals), N. Handley. Monbulk best players: T. Wragg, J. Major, D. White, C. Griffiths. Woori Yallock 8.11 (59) d Upwey Tecoma 7.13 (55) THIS was the grand final replay and the result remained the same with a victory to Woori Yallock albeit a narrow one. Woori got out to a 14-point lead at the first change before Upwey hit back in the second, booting four goals-to-one to take a one-goal buffer into half time.The third quarter was a reverse of the second with Woori booting four goals-to-one and they went to the last break with a 16-point lead. Upwey was coming home with the scoring end in the last and they certainly had their chances to win this game, but they booted a very inaccurate 2.8 for the term while Woori’s 1.1 was enough to record them a famous victory. Woori Yallock best players: C. Smedley, B. Sneddon (2 goals), M. Bonuda.

Upwey Tecoma best players: T. Heinrich, S. Brotja (1 goal), J. O’Donnell. SECOND DIVISION SENIORS:

Alexandra 10.10 (70) d Gembrook Cockatoo 4.10 (34) BOTH these sides haven’t had a great start to the season with some very indifferent form. And this game unfortunately for Gembrook wasn’t one of their better days. The margin was just five points at half time, with Gembrook leading but they weren’t able to score another goal for the remainder of the match. Alexandra’s second half was actually quite good as their defence stood tall and they set up scoring opportunities and converted quite well in tricky conditions. Alex booted seven second-half goals-to-nil to win by a comfortable six goals.

Seville 16.14 (110) d Yea 3.8 (26) SEVILLE handed Yea a bit of a reality check as they got back to some of their better form, winning by 84 points. Seville opened the day with a five goalto-nil quarter to set the tone and then blew the margin out to 45 points by half time to put the game pretty much beyond doubt. The second half was a battle for Yea but they did manage two majors while Seville booted seven to win big, boosting their percentage and remain undefeated. Seville best players: S. Irvine, C.

Yarra Glen 15.5 (95) d Thornton Eildon 5.14 (44) YARRA Glen sits atop the ladder undefeated after another convincing win, this time over Thornton Eildon. Yarra Glen started the stronger and was very good out of the middle as they jumped out to a 33-point lead at half time. Thornton’s second half was a lot better as they actually matched it with Yarra Glen in general ball play, but their conversion let them down and they couldn’t eat into Yarra Glen’s lead. Thornton actually had more scoring shots in the second half with 3.8 but Yarra Glen’s 7.2 showed the difference in class. Yarra Glen best players: M. Ashton, B. James (1 goal), P. Moate (3 goals). Thornton Eildon best players: R. Chapman, B. Kapakoulakis (1 goal), L. Davison (1 goal).

Coldstream’s Gary Kemper rises for the mark. 120171

Silvan bags Brett Hartman Cup By JESSE GRAHAM COLDSTREAM and Silvan Football Clubs faced off last weekend in a special cup match, paying homage to a veteran coach who featured in both teams. The two clubs’ Fourth Division Seniors teams went head-to-head on Sunday 11 May, vying for the Brett Hartman Cup at Coldstream’s home turf, with crowds coming out to support their teams. Silvan came out on top in the match,coming out with a 37-point lead over Coldstream, with 16.15 (111) and 11.8 (74) as the final scores. The cup was named after football player Brett Hartman, who coached both Silvan and Coldstream and is the last coach to have taken Coldstream to a Premiership - in 2001. There were more connections between the two clubs on the weekend, with Silvan coach Chris Murphy having played for Coldstream in his junior football years. Coldstream Football Club secretary Frank Armenio said it was a well-fought game between the two rivals, with this year marking the second match for the cup. He said that, despite the occasion of the match, the attendance at the cup match was one of the largest in recent times.

Fresh young legs did the trick Healesville Junior Football Club: Youth Girls St Marys 5-2 (32) d Healesville 1-0 (6) HEALESVILLE travelled to Bulleen to take on St Marys. The REDBACKS came out pumped and were ready to make up for last week’s lacklustre performance. With only 12 players, the game was going to be tough but the girls took it up to the opposition and it wasn’t until midway through the last quarter that fitness was against us. St Marys having fresh legs on the bench made all the difference in the end. Goals: N. Nebauer
