Mr Hinton said to this day he was astonished that Compass is still going and there are only two ABC television programs that have lasted longer, Playschool and Four Corners. After retiring 10 years ago, Mr Hinton decided to move to Monbulk to be closer to his daughters and granddaughters and became the secretary at Monbulk Fire Brigade and is currently the auxiliary support member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew when moving here, I wanted to continue to do something in a voluntary area,â&#x20AC;? he said.

HE IS the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) recipient and Monbulk resident with an illustrious career and heart for helping. Vaughan William Hinton has been awarded the OAM for service to the media through television production, and to the community of Monbulk and said he was thrilled and humbled by the award. The 80-year-old was the executive producer of the ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program Compass for 14 years, the executive producer of outside broadcasts including the first television coverage of Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, Battle of the Coral Sea and Anzac Day parades from 1994. He was also the executive producer responsible for all religious programs from 1986, the Aboriginal programs Blackout and First Australians in 1987 and documentary producer for Prisoners of Hope and Man in Question as well as a radio broadcaster from 1963 to 1980. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had worked with the ABC on and off since I was 17, and in 1980 I joined the full time staff - shortly after that I became an executive producer and to my astonishment became in charge of all ABC religious programs,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hinton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did have some sort of background knowledge in religious affairs and had always been interested in how religious affairs have been covered in the Australian media.â&#x20AC;? Mr Hinton said he found then, and to a large extent now, religious affairs to be covered in terms of doctrines, principles and beliefs that were usually articulated by the heads of the various denominations whether Christian or other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was convinced that the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gutsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Australian religion were more to be found in the capacity of ordinary Aus-

In brief Just lock it up

Critics of fire break By MELISSA MEEHAN A MESS was left behind after recent fire break works in Olinda. Residents said they were devastated to find damaged trees and stumps following the works at the head of the Olinda Creek. John Faull said he was concerned that contractors had been careless during the works. He said chemicals and rubbish had also been left behind. “The waste water will go down the easement and then disperse off into trees,” he said. “Some trees have already died.”

Mr Faull said he had seen contractors chop the tops of trees. Tree ferns were smashed, and other plants damaged. “I’ve desperately tried to find out who was in control of this fire break, but all departments said they had no knowledge of the works,” Mr Faull said. “It’s deplorable to be honest, to leave the area in such a mess is devastating for us.” In response to community concerns regarding several potentially unsafe trees in and adjacent to an existing fuel break, DEPI staff carried out at an assessment of the area. “Three trees were found

to be rotting inside and to manage the risk they posed to nearby properties and people walking by, DEPI engaged a contractor to cut them down,” a DEPI spokesperson said. “A fourth tree was also pruned.” The spokesperson said a contractor would be visiting the site again this week to clear any branches that ended up in a nearby creek during the tree removal process. “These works were undertaken as part of DEPI’s Public Safety on Public Land program,” they said.

POLICE are pleading with motorists to lock their cars, whether parked in the driveway, in your garage or on the street. Lilydale CIU Detective Sergeant Allan Price said that there had been a number of thefts from cars in the Upwey, the 1000 Steps and The Basin areas and said more than 50 per cent of the cars had unlocked doors. “We keep reminding people to do this, but again we find that often the doors aren’t locked and valuables are left in full sight,” Det Sgt Price said. “People need to ensure they are doing all the little things to protect them from thieves.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Lilydale CIU on 9739 2300.

Serious assault BELGRAVE police have charged a 39-year-old Tecoma man with serious assault after three attacks on another man. Leading Senior Constable Dignis Kamoen said the attacks left the victim with a broken nose, broken ribs and punctured lungs. The man has been remanded and will face the

Take care on roads MOUNT Evelyn police have asked drivers to be careful on wet roads. They have been called to a few crashes when someone has lost control on a bend in wet conditions. Police are also warning drivers at the lights near Wray Crescent to not rush to beat the lights.

Church thieves CALLOUS thieves have broken into a Lilydale church. Lilydale CIU Detective Sergeant Allan Price said the Castella Street St John’s Anglican Church was entered between 2 and 5 June, through an unlocked door. Items stolen include PA equipment, a chalice, crucifix and candlestick holder. Det Sgt Price said that police were investigating a link to a burglary at the nearby Lilydale Historical Society building. Anyone with information is asked to contact Lilydale CIU on 9739 2300 or contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

especially in Mount Evelyn,” he said. “To be able to give these older residents an opportunity to be able to stay in their community, keep their links with friends and family, without causing any real changes to the neighbourhood - I think it’s a wonderful idea.” Upwey resident and man about town Peter Marke said the proposed changes were an excellent idea. “Hopefully it will enable older people to divide their property and stay here - it’s certainly a fantastic idea,” he said. “It’s good for Upwey, at least in terms of sustainability for the town.” He said Upwey and other towns were crying out for something like this, and now that the council had the opportunity they should take it with both hands. “Unfortunately the size of the allotments are still a little big,” he said.

Ferntree Gully

FOR Lang Baulch’s parents, the ability to subdivide their property is the difference between staying in the community and being forced to move away. The Mount Evelyn resident says without the ability to split their land, they have no other choice. This week Yarra Ranges residents should have received a letter from the council asking for their views in relation to possible changes to the Low Density Residential Zone proposed by the State Government. The changes would reduce the minimum subdivision size for new lots from 4000 square metres (one acre) to 2000 square metres (half an acre) provided the lot is connected to reticulated sewerage and not a septic system. The application for a subdivision would still need to go to council and be granted a permit. Mr Baulch said

while only seven per cent of homes in the Yarra Ranges would be able to take advantage of the changes, it was important that the council supported it. “It wouldn’t affect neighbourhood character,” he said. “But it would allow for more continuity in terms of towns.” He said in some towns there were smaller lots beside bigger properties that were scattered through the Ranges. “For example in Old Hereford Road in Mount Evelyn, there are many smaller lots beside my parents’ place,” he said. “So for them to subdivide, it would only mean one extra house and wouldn’t affect the neighbourhood.” He said it was important that these changes were passed, saying that it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for it to happen. “We have an aging population,

Reconciliation and moving on SOME years have passed since I last wrote on Reconciliation in the Mail papers, but a quick glance over the five years that I did write, brought my thoughts together for this article. I started writing not long after the genesis of the push that led to former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s apology in the Australian Parliament and the huge march for reconciliation across the Bolte Bridge. In ’02, I joined the Worawa Aboriginal College in Healesville as chaplain, and in ’07, committed to work with the shire on their Reconciliation Committee.

Focal

point Graeme Dawson Co-ordinator, Focal Point

Interestingly, my previous Mail topic titles progressed from, ‘Celebrations Born of Mourning’ in ’03, an awakening article about why we needed to reconcile and the sad history of our Indigenous peoples, to ‘Reconciliation 04 - Is it Working?’ A year

on since the ‘first flush’ of action had subsided, I wrote with a view to get things moving again so I wrote about forgiveness in general for life relationships and the fact that that needed to be worked out between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. In ’05 I encouraged readers to take ‘The Next Step’, followed by ‘It is a Challenge’ in ’06, looking at practical ways through. Then in ’08, an article on ‘The Mechanics of Reconciliation’, things that mechanically needed to be done to help reconciliation have the necessary legs to ‘walk’ with, and I finished that article with a great footy

coach’s famous words, in brief, “DO SOMETHING” (these articles can be accessed via www.focalpoint.org.au Mail Articles). Given that I believe true reconciliation needed to start with the young, a Primary Schools Indigenous Forum was set up with many local schools signing up. Of course this is going to take time to filter through - 10, 15 or 20 years before these young people will stand tall for and with Indigenous Australians as they are faced with social and community responsibility. So where are we now? Much work is continuing through various groups

Top fireman is honoured By BRIDGET SCOTT HE’S the mover and shaker, the organiser, and admittedly Graham Simpson was a born leader. Since 1978, he’s been part of the Cockatoo Fire Brigade and 35 years on, Mr Simpson will receive an Australia Fire Service Medal which, he said, “really is an honour.” After he and his wife moved to Cockatoo in 1977, he needed something to do. The Queen Scout was heavily involved in their local Scouting group when they lived in Carnegie, and he said he had to fill his extra time somehow when they shifted. “I was used to doing something once a week,” he said. “I ran into the bloke who was captain at the time, and he said come and join the CFA.” “Now, here I am on my day off, down here, doing fire brigade work.” In October 1982, Mr Simpson was made captain of the Cockatoo CFA and remained in this role for the next 11 years. Only three months after he took on this new title, one of the biggest challenges and tragedies to face CFA volunteers hit Victoria, the Ash

Wednesday Bushfires. “That was definitely a speed bump in my life,” he said. “It was a big thing because it was state-wide.” Mr Simpson explained that as the only emergency services centre in Cockatoo, they were the centre of attention and a huge spotlight shined over them. “All the focus was on us,” he said. As the captain at the time, Mr Simpson oversaw all the operations in his area, and said the effects of Ash Wednesday left a lasting impact on him. So much so that Mr Simpson is determined to ensure the effects and memorabilia from this time continue to live on. As Chairman of the Ash Wednesday Memorial Project Committee and President of the Township committee, Mr Simpson is excited to oversee another community project. A museum, dedicated to memorabilia, photos and more from the Ash Wednesday fires will be opened next year. Mr Simpson said that while the museum will be based in Cockatoo, it will encapsulate Ash Wednesday Victoria-wide.

Graham Simpson will receive an Australian Fire Service Medal to recognise his commitment to the Cockatoo CFA and work during the Ash Wednesday Bushfires. 121736 Picture: DONNA OATES This project will come after many others that the Cockatoo Citizen of the Year for 2002 has overseen.

Race discrimination changes are rejected YARRA Ranges councillors united against the Federal Government’s proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act in their recent meeting, saying the amendments water down protection from racism. At the council’s 27 May meeting, mayor Fiona McAllister proposed a motion that the council reject the Federal Government’s proposed amendments, and to write to all federal ministers on the matter. The amendment to the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 was proposed by Federal Attorney-General George Brandis earlier this year,

and has been under heavy debate since. The changes aim to repeal sections 18B, 18C, 18D and 18E of the act, which protect residents from behaviour likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate them on the basis of their race, colour, national or ethnic origin. Under the amendment, these sections could be replaced with a single section which would make it unlawful to do an act likely to “vilify or intimidate” a person in public, under the same basis. Cr McAllister said the legislation

Mr Simpson said he felt truly honoured when he discovered he would receive his fire service medal. “It’s a highlight,” he said. “It really is an honour to receive it considering they only hand out so few a year Australia-wide.” Mr Simpson said it was a great feeling to be recognised for his years of service to the local CFA and community as a whole, but refused to take all the credit. “I am receiving it on behalf of a hell of a lot of people that haven’t got one yet,” he said. The criteria for this award included an achievement or success in difficult or unusual circumstances, or a high level of performance with significant outcomes. Grateful to be nominated, the current secretary/treasurer of the Cockatoo CFA doesn’t see his involvement ending any time soon.

currently protected all ethnicities from being discriminated against, and that the changes would dilute the protection currently given to residents, including the Indigenous population. The motion states that the proposed amendments should only be considered if they “genuinely strengthen legal protection against racial vilification,” but that, in this case, they do not. All councillors supported the motion, though many said that, with the closing of the consultation on the amendment on 30 April, it could

be a gesture of little effect. However, Cr McAllister said the opposition to the amendments sent a message to the Yarra Ranges community, the wider community and politicians. “I don’t think we always should wade in on federal issues, but some we absolutely have to - I think these (changes) are not negotiable in relation to basic human rights,” she said. The council will write to all federal ministers and Yarra Ranges federal MPs, stating the council’s position on the matter.

Police probe sex attacks KNOX Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Unit (SOCIT) detectives are investigating two attempted sexual assaults which occurred in Knoxfield and Ferntree Gully. Police have been told a 41-year-old Scoresby woman was jogging along Ferntree Gully Road in Knoxfield on Saturday 24 May when she was grabbed by an unknown man about 6.20am. The man attempted to

sexually assault her, but was disturbed by a passerby. The offender then fled the scene and was last seen running south along Rushdale Street. The man is described as being aged in his late twenties, approximately 170cm tall with a medium build and olive complexion. Detectives believe the same man is responsible for a similar assault that

It’s thanks all round breaky By KATH GANNAWAY PEOPLE who have served communities in the Yarra Ranges were brought together on 31 May for a special ‘thankyou’ on the National Day of Thanksgiving. The annual thanksgiving breakfast hosted by Oxley Christian College was held at the Foothills Conference Centre and invited guests included volunteers and staff of numerous community and church organisations and local political representatives.

Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister spoke of the contribution many in the community made in so many ways and often over many years. MC Randall Bourchier reflected on the contributions people made including sacrificing time, money, skills, convenience and often personal safety in putting their lives on the line for the well-being of many. He presented inspiring, moving and often humorous mini-biographies of eight people chosen for special recognition - Roger Boness and

Jan Simmons from Mount Evelyn, Cr Len Cox from Montrose, Keith Thomas from Warburton, Dorothy Barbour from Yarra Glen, Florence Flood from Healesville, Denise Garratt from Gruyere and police officer Matt Henry who was on duty in Steels Creek on Black Saturday. Kinglake author and CFA volunteer Adrian Hyland was guest speaker, giving recognition to volunteers, and to all emergency service workers who he said gave ‘beyond the call of duty’.

About 536 homes and businesses received the fast internet services last month through Telstra’s ADSL broadband network.

customers in Bayswater and Ferntree Gully have been frustrated that they haven’t been able to receive a fast fixed broadband service or haven’t had a consistent speed experience at home or work,” Ms Harvey said. “The upgrade will give homes and businesses in the area improved access to online resources in education, health and entertainment. “Speeds will vary due to a number of factors such as infrastructure, distance from the exchange and cus-

tomer equipment.” Internet speeds may vary according to the user’s device and area however further upgrades are scheduled for Ferntree Gully over the next few months. For more information, Ferntree Gully residents can contact Telstra BigPond on 13POND or visit their local Telstra Store at Shop 1028 Knox City Shopping Centre, 425 Burwood Highway, Knox for further information.

Onesies go wild style By ANEEKA SIMONIS STAFF working at The Lodge Shopping Centre in Coldstream had an excuse to monkey around last Thursday as they took part in Wild Onesie Week. Hosted by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), local businesses were encouraged to dress head-to-toe in an endangered animal onesie to help raise funds and awareness for dwindling species’ numbers. IGA, Blooms Blooms florist, Purple Mist Hairdressing and Just Fake It Beauty were some of the stores who dressed up for the occasion. Blooms Blooms owner Kerrilyn Bloom dressed as a cheetah with her mother, while Purple Mist Hairdressing was seeing spots as their owner, Gail Collins, dressed as a leopard, her team members a zebra and red panda. Gail Collins said raising funds for endangered species was an important cause.

“If we lose them, we will never get them back. We need them for the eco-system ... and they’re beautiful too,” she said. Brave like a lion were those who wore their onesie in their professional workplace said WWF CEO, Dermot O’Gorman. “If you’re passionate about protecting species be brave and ‘become one’ for a day or even the whole week and experience what it’s like to be an endangered animal,” Mr O’Gorman said. “The money you raise by rising to this challenge will make a real difference to endangered animals.” Animals in need of help include tigers, with the species decreasing by over 95 per cent over the past 100 years as well as loggerhead turtle who are down to their last few hundred. The Lodge Shopping Centre shared the fun with Animal Aid and onesie-clad students from Coldstream Primary School.

Man on $100 million fraud charges DETECTIVES from the Fraud and Extortion Squad have arrested a second man as part of an ongoing investigation into a $100 million fraud. The 49-year-old Lysterfield man was arrested by police on Thursday. He has been interviewed by police and was charged with fraud offences. The man will appear at the Melbourne

Magistrates’ Court shortly. The fraud is alleged to have taken place over the past 10 years and relates to fraudulent loans secured by an accounting firm. So far police have investigated more than 40 incidents totalling about $100 million. The investigation by the Fraud and Extortion Squad remains ongoing.

Laughs on the road By REBECCA BILLS BURRINJA will be full of laughs next Sunday when the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow takes to the stage. After 15 years of travelling the many roads that make up the big land called Australia, the Comedy Roadshow is back for its 16th year of jam-packed laughs. The hilarious Dave Callan will be the MC for the evening with the roll call for the 2014 Burrinja Festival including Justin Hamilton, Tiffany Stevenson, Rhys Nicholson and Neel Kolhatkar. Mr Hamilton said he was keen to take to the stage in Upwey again. “Last time I was up this way I was doing a fund-raiser for the CFA,” he said. “It’s just a beautiful place in the world and I find the people

that come to the shows really understand comedy - they are a little more sophisticated in their comedy tastes. “I don’t mean to be patronising to people from other towns but you can play with the audience and they get it.” Mr Hamilton said despite originally being from Adelaide he had spent the last 12 years calling Melbourne home with an illustrious and successful career as a stand-up comedian and writer. In 2010 Mr Hamilton tried his hand at acting, playing the recurring character Biscuit in the 2010 ABC series The Librarians. “I would say I prefer the stand-up side of things, I wouldn’t say I’m a great actor - I’m not trained and naturally I do things instinctively,” he said. “Acting is fun but when I’m on stage it’s just great and I en-

joy that I can mix and match when I go on and I never go out with a definite idea of what I’m going to do.” Mr Hamilton has been part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow from 2002 to 2010 and supported good frienad Wil Anderson on his national tours from 2006 to 2010. The Comedy Roadshow enjoyed enormous success in 2013, performing a staggering 109 shows in over 60 regional towns and cities across Australia, before concluding the tour with a sell-out international leg visiting Singapore, Hong Kong, and India. Burrinja is hosting the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow on Sunday 15 June from 7pm in the Burrinja Theatre.

Wombats get wacky By JODIE SYMONDS IT WILL be a show of wacky wombat entertainment for the whole family. Belgrave Heights resident Mike Bedford designed The Wacky Wombat Road Show as a comical and wacky performance. The lovable Australian wombats create an enjoyable musical environment for kids and their families. The three colourful characters differ in their personalities - Wacky is the troublemaker of the trio, Wendy is a glamorous female wombat and Wally is intelligent. With influences of the Australian outback, the show features some of the greatest hit songs of the past.

Mr Bedford said the idea behind using wombats came from children’s love of teddy bears. “Children love teddy bears, which idealistically is an American concept so then I thought why not use wombats that are cuddly like bears?” Mr Bedford said. “It is going to be a blockbuster, “Kids of today are always sitting behind the TV and this is a show that is bound to get them up and about to the music,” he said. With over 30 years of experience in event management, Mr Bedford said this show had influences from some of his past shows and events. The show is expected to be on the road in September.

Melba’s wheel mission By REBECCA BILLS THEY have been working extra hard to raise funds for an additional vehicle to enable more community engagement by house residents. And they are halfway to their goal of $15,000 and hope to be the proud owners of a new bus by the end of 2014. Melba Disability Support worker Kerryn Croke said since last November the group had been raising money for the vehicle that would enable individual support arrangements so a Melba employee could take a resident out for one-on-one activities in the community. “Often we can’t do that as someone else needs to go to the doctor and there isn’t a vehicle available for others to use,” she said. “Having the other vehicle means they will be able to form relationships in the community and do things that will enhance their own personal lifestyle. “It’s to get our residents out into the community and

doing things that they want to do to help them lead normal lives.” Melba Support Services is a not-for-profit organisation that supports people with disabilities to lead independent and everyday lives. “Melba has eight Community Living Support Services (CLSS) of which we are one and currently we have one bus for people we support and sometimes this makes getting everybody out a bit of a challenge,” Ms Croke said. Previous fund-raisers they have held included painting and selling personalised Christmas decorations, a chocolate drive and a tin rattle at a major Lilydale intersection. “Out next fund-raiser will be at Chirnside Park Shopping Centre, outside Priceline Pharmacy, on Saturday 14 June running all day,” Ms Croke said. “With each donation a sticker will be put on our sign with the hope we can colour in the bus picture.”

THERE was a whole lot of strumming coming from the Gemco Players Community Theatre in Emerald on the weekend. Hundreds flocked to the inaugural ukulele festival on 31 May and 1 June, which featured a range of workshops, concerts, sing-alongs and competitions. Festival director Matthew Fagan said he was thrilled with the turn-out. “I think it couldn’t have gone better,” he said. “We really had a lot of participants of all age groups. There were a lot of people who came wanting to know more about the ukulele.” Mr Fagan said the ukulele was a great instrument for people to play and was becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages. It’s a social revolution at the moment. The ukulele is a friend to everyone,” he said. “People are finding it’s a friendly way to engage with others.” Besides providing people with loads of entertainment, Mr Fagan said the festival allowed people to network with other musicians from across the country. “We had teachers from New Zealand and across Australia, we had a lot of Victorian representatives and strong input from our own community in the hills,” he said. “The festival became a forum for people to network and that’s a really big aim for a live community event like this.” Mr Fagan said the event would run “in one form or another” next year. “I think it will be bigger. We would like to involve the broader community and go across council boundaries,” he said. “I want it to be a mountain festival.” Mr Fagan said the highlight of the festival was the competition. Sadie Mustoe won a $50 sponsorship from Emerald district Mitre10 co-op in the Under 15 best amateur solo category. Stephanie White won a $100 voucher sponsored by Bootstraps ’n’ Buckles Emerald in the best amateur adult open performance category. Best ukulele songwriter went to Miss Wattle Group who won a Maton concert ukulele sponsored by Maton Australia. Second place went to Bernard who won $100 sponsored by Bootstraps ’n’ Buckles Emerald. The best amateur ukulele group went to The Patch Tags who won $150 sponsored by Cockatoo-Gembrook Bendigo Bank.

Sense of community By MELISSA MEEHAN STARTING out as a small bush hospital, longterm staff say the Angliss Hospital has never lost its sense of community. In the lead-up to its 75th anniversary, the Mail spoke to a number of staff who have seen many changes throughout the years. Emergency Department senior nurse Fran Chandler has been working at the hospital for 35 years. “It’s close to home and it’s a nice place to work,” Ms Chandler said. “The culture here is wonderful and a lot of staff have been working here for years.” Ms Chandler started out as a registered nurse as what they called a runner. “I worked night shift and pretty much did everything that I was asked, this included making cups of tea and coffee,” she said. “I then worked as an associate nurse and then became the unit manager of the emergency department.” She’s seen a lot of changes in the emergency department, starting out when it was just a tiny area in the hospital, then moving to a school portable before becoming part of the hospital building. “The emergency department started with two nurses overnight and a doctor on call,” she said. “Now it’s 15 people on day shift and nine on night. “It’s a busy spot.” Lynette De Valle has been working in the health information department for nearly 16 years. “I came here because it was close to home, and then stayed,” she said. “The Angliss was and is my community hospital. I bring my family here, I tell my friends to come here, it’s our hospital.” She said technological changes over time had meant a number of challenges. In the past records were kept in paper files, but now it’s all on computers. “It’s really changed for us,” she said. “I think it’s a positive though, it allows for greater continuity of care and means the records can be shared across the network.

Resident doctor By MELISSA MEEHAN DOCTOR Angelo Annunziata started out as a junior resident in 1992 at the Angliss Hospital. He then spent some time at other hospitals before being offered a job in 2000. “It is a lot different here to a big hospital,” he said. “There are familiar faces down the hall and I tell people that all the time.” In 2005, when the new emergency department opened, Dr Annunziata said it was a big deal for the whole community. “It’s now big enough to cater for the needs of the community,” he said. “It’s well-designed and allows us to do good things in term of medicine.” He is proud of being part of one of the first short-stay units in Victoria too. “We started one of the first

short-stay units in Melbourne,” he said. “This means people who come in with the need for an intravenous drip, but not necessarily needing to be admitted, we can look after them.” While only a small hospital, Dr Annunziata said he had seen some interesting, weird and wacky medical cases come through the door. “We see a few more complex things, and a lot of children,” he said. “One of the biggest things was a chemical spill at a school down the road in 2004. “The smell triggered some asthma in some kids, and we had between 50 to 100 come in, we needed to sort through them and find out who needed our assistance.” He said because of the windy roads of the Dandenongs, the

Late rally Woori win YVMDFNL First Division Seniors Woori Yallock v Belgrave WOORI Yallock came away with a 50-point victory, but that looked a mile off at half time, as they trailed by 13 points. Woori’s conversion was terrible in the second term as they had plenty of the ball, but wasted it down forward, scoring 1.8 while Wandin booted 3.3 to take the 13-point lead at the long break. The second half was pretty much all Woori Yallock; they had a great third term, going more direct, and the result showed on the scoreboard as they rammed home eight goals-to-one to race to a 31- point lead at the last change. Woori continued to stretch their lead in the last, adding another four goals while Wandin just chased the whole term and could only manage the one behind. Woori Yallock 15.22 (112) d Belgrave 7.10 (52 Best: Woori Yallock: B. Monkhorst (6), J. Williams (1), D. Ryan. Belgrave: N. Tiberi (4), B. Raaymakers, D. Collins. Mount Evelyn v Olinda Ferny Creek MOUNT Evelyn knocked Olinda off top spot with a good 22-point victory. Even though the final margin was just 22 points, this game belonged to Mount Evelyn. They set the tone early as they booted four first-quarter goals and held Olinda to just one behind. The remainder of the game was reasonably even, but Mount Evelyn did get the margin out to six goals at one stage while Olinda never really threatened to make big inroads into the margin. Olinda did fight hard in the last, but wasted a few opportunities, booting 3.7 to 2.1 but at the end of the day it was simply Mount Evelyn too good. Mount Evelyn 10.13 (73) d Olinda Ferny Creek 7.9 (51) Best: Mount Evelyn: B. Doyle, R. Cowan (1), R. Davis. Olinda Ferny Creek: D. Rohrmann, R. Wilson, N. Syme. Upwey Tecoma v Monbulk UPWEY moved to the top of the table after a comprehensive 10-goal win over Monbulk. Upwey only booted four goals in the first half, but their defence was magnificent as they held Monbulk goalless; Upwey’s lead at half time was 27 points. The third quarter saw the game open up and goals a bit easier to come by but it was Upwey that had the better of it booting six goals to three, and by the last change their lead was 45 points. Upwey finished the day well, booting five last quarter goalsto-two to win by an even 10 goals in what was a good four-quarter performance. Upwey Tecoma 15.16 (106) d Monbulk 5.16 (46) Best: Upwey Tecoma: M. Charles, S. Brotja, S. Dawson (1). Monbulk best players: D. Ward (1), K. Gray, S. Williams. Healesville v Emerald EMERALD held a one-point lead at quarter time in this game, but that was the last time they led as they only added one more major for the remainder of the game. Healesville

Emerald’s Nick Jansen kicks a point against Healesville. 121842 only booted two goals in the second quarter, but it was enough to grab a two-goal lead at the main break as Emerald only scored one behind. The third term saw Healesville get on top as they found the goals easier to come by than their opponents, booting four goals to one and by the last change, it was Healesville in control and leading by five goals. Healesville finished the day with a three-goal last quarter while Emerald only scrounged three behinds which leaves Healesville just one game out of the top five while Emerald remain winless on the bottom. Healesville 11.10 (76) d Emerald 3.9 (27) Best: Healesville: J. Nugent, H. Prest, J. Shaw (3). Emerald: L. McKenna, J. Taylor, M. Dompietro. Second Division Seniors: Gembrook Cockatoo v Kinglake GEMBROOK got its second win of the year over a struggling Kinglake. Kinglake was competitive enough in the first quarter and only trailed by 16 points at quarter time, but they failed to score in the second quarter while Gembrook booted four goals and at half time; Gembrook led by an even seven goals. The third quarter was Gembrook’s best as they booted six goals on the back of some good team play while holding Kinglake to just one major to take a 75- point lead into the last change. The last quarter was reasonably even with Gembrook booting three goals-to-two, to finish with a big win. Seville 11.15 (81) d Yarra Glen 8.6 (54) Best: Gembrook Cockatoo: T. Quirk, L. Tyrrell (1), L. McCombe (6). Kinglake: A. McLaren, B. Rob-

inson, B. Brown. Under 18s Woori Yallock v Belgrave WOORI won this game well in the end, but they did have to work hard in the first half as Belgrave stayed in touch trailing by just 13 points at half time. Woori did break the shackles in the third as they got a bit more run in their game, booting four goals and holding Belgrave to just one point; their lead at the last change was 38 points. The last quarter was almost a carbon copy of the third with Belgrave struggling to score only adding another two points while Woori scored three majors to win by 55 points, thanks to a dominant second half. Woori Yallock 12.7 (79) d Belgrave 3.6 (24) Best: Woori Yallock: G. Annowsky (3), D. Benson, J. Dewhurst (1). Belgrave: L. Rowe, C. Rak, L. Murphy (1). Olinda Ferny Creek v Mount Evelyn OLINDA had a real battle on their hands in the first half as Mount Evelyn held a one-goal lead at half time. Olinda came out in the third full of aggression and run and Mount Evelyn were caught chasing for most of the quarter. Olinda rammed home seven goals-to-one to take control and grab a 29-point lead at the last change. The last quarter was a goal-for-goal affair with both sides scoring four majors, but it was Olinda’s dominance in the third they can thank for their victory. Olinda Ferny Creek 14.12 (96) d Mount Evelyn 10.9 (69) Best: Olinda Ferny Creek: H. Mc Collam, B. Cooling, J. Saggin. Mount Evelyn: D. Wootton (1),

Pictures: GREG CARRICK C. Blake, L. Manassa. Upwey Tecoma v Monbulk A GOOD four-quarter performance from Upwey produced a 44-point victory. This game started evenly with both sides on 2.1 at quarter time, but Upwey held Monbulk to just two behinds in the second while they scored four goals to grab a handy four-goal lead at the half. The third quarter saw both sides score two goals and as hard as Monbulk tried they just couldn’t eat into Upwey’s lead. Upwey finished the game with three last-quarter goals and held Monbulk goalless to come away with a very solid win. Upwey Tecoma 11.8 (74) d Monbulk 4.6 (30) Best: Upwey Tecoma: J. Waters (4), L. Beacom, S. Shineberg. Monbulk: N. Cramer, B. Tuakeu, K. Sas (2). Emerald v Yea YEA started strong by kicking three goals-to-three in the first, but Emerald probably should have had the lead as they also kicked three behinds. Emerald got their running game going in the second, banging on seven goals-to-one. Yea were held to only one more goal for the game. A healthy 56-point win to the Bombers. Emerald 13.10 (88) d Yea 5.2 (32) Best: Emerald: J. McMahon, J. Volta, L. Doedens (1). Yea: H. Jarvie, B. Ali, I. Kaak.

Whitlock bags annual joined holes round By DENNIS FULLER AT Emerald Golf Club on Saturday 7 June, the members faced the annual joined holes round. In this format, some holes are joined together in pairs so that golfers play over or past the first encountered green. There were five paired holes. Trees seemed to change their names when addressed by players exhibiting diminishing degrees of gruntle. Before play there were many loudly proclaimed ways of playing each of these pairs, but it was a silent and determined Con Whitlock (17) who proved the master of the format. With a par for the course at 65, Whitlock finished a seven-over-par for a net 55 - a truly astonishing effort. He was the overall master and also the BGrade champ. A-Grade saw Ross Martin (10) the boss cocky, with a net 63. The best of the stragglers were Peter Jones 59, Peter Clowes 61, Ian Cranston 63, Andrew Cutting 65 and Dennis Fuller 66. The Stockdale and Leggo nearest the pins went to Mark Starick on the 4th, Dave Aitken the 7th, Paul Farmer the 12th, Wayne Degering the 13th and Travis Gerbes scooped the pool with the nearest on the pro pin 18th. The ladies’ event saw a struggling field with Gracie O’Brien proving to be the top dog. Wednesday 4 June’s Officially Fascile Golf (OFG) using OFG handicaps was a stableford event in which each player had to drive with an iron from all of the odd numbered tees. This obviously suited Ken Hill (16) and, despite hitting his first drive half the distance he could have kicked it, he settled down to teach the mob a lesson. He came in with 38 points to win the Henley Hill Cab Sav from Sepp Krummenacher (19) and Ian Scott (25) on 33 and Dennis Fuller (13) on 32. Next Saturday, members compete for the June monthly medal.

Wandin wins it YVMDFNL First Division A-Grade Netball Wandin v Warburton Millgrove WANDIN had this game wrapped up at quarter time as they had 16 goals on the board while holding Warby scoreless. Wandin added another 15 goals in the second while Warby did manage to get on the board with three goals; Wandin’s lead at the half was 28 goals. The second half was more of the same but at least Warby did defend a little better but Wandin still managed to find the ring a lot easier than their opponents, scoring 24 second-half goals-to-11 to win by a more than comfortable 41 goals. Wandin 55 d Warburton Millgrove 14 Best: Wandin: Rebecca McMahon, Nikki Phillips, Tayissa Coppinger. Warburton Millgrove: Karly Wappett, Morgan Brumby, Jaime Lord. Belgrave v Woori Yallock FOR the first quarter, this game was a good contest with Belgrave leading by just four goals, however Belgrave’s second quarter blew the game right open as they scored 23 goals-tojust three in a dominant display to race to a 24-goal lead at the half. Scores did not change after half time, with Belgrave taking the four points. Belgrave 50 d Woori Yallock 26 Best: Belgrave: Donna Marcus, Lauren Bennett (24), Kristen Robinson. Woori Yallock: Emma Hales, Peri Stewart (23), Jodi Terry. Olinda Ferny Creek v Mount Evelyn THIS was a ripper game with the result still in doubt deep into the last quarter. Mount Evelyn started well and got out to a six-goal lead at the first change, Olinda hit back hard in the second, scoring 15 goals-to-eight and grabbed a one-goal lead in the half. The third quarter was a great contest, but it was Mount Evelyn that just had the edge, scoring 14 goals-to-10 as they took a three-goal lead into three-quarter time. Olinda’s defence in the last quarter was superb; they held Mount Evelyn to just four goals while they took their opportunities, scoring 10 times to win by three goals in what was a ripper see-sawing game.

Olinda Ferny Creek 41 d Mount Evelyn 38 Best: Olinda Ferny Creek: Alice Padget, Ashlee Howard (15), Georgia Martin. Mount Evelyn: Grace Kirley, Jemma Matthews, Jessica Walker. Healesville v Emerald EMERALD was competitive in this game, but Healesville always looked the better side throughout - they led by three goals at quarter time but blew that margin out in the second, scoring 16 goals-tofive to lead by 14 at half time. The third quarter was a good battle with Healesville increasing their lead by just one goalto-15. Healesville finished the day in style with 16 last-quarter goals while Emerald scored six which gave Healesville a very good 25-goal victory. Healesville 56 d Emerald 31 Best: Healesville: Kathy Carden, Caitlyn Jeffress, Kylie Malone (35). Emerald: Megan Whiteroad (20), Sarah MacDonald, Lauren Moses. Upwey Tecoma v Monbulk Hawks THIS was a complete allround performance from Upwey who kept increasing their lead as the game went on and not giving Monbulk a look in. Upwey led by nine goals at half time, but it was their second half where they really dominated, scoring 29 goals-to-just seven with some terrific quick ball movement that Monbulk had no answers for. Upwey won by 31 goals in a great display. Upwey Tecoma 52 d Monbulk Hawks 21 Best: Upwey Tecoma: Krista Tomlinson, Gretta Hankinson, Melanie Walter. Monbulk: Hayley Moffatt (2), Sophie Byatt (15), Emily Williams (4). Yarra Junction v Thornton Eildon YARRA Junction came away with a 24-goal win over Thornton, but they didn’t have it all their own way; they did lead by 15 goals at the half, but weren’t playing at their best. The third quarter was Junction’s best as they scored 18 goals while holding Thornton to five to grab a hefty 28-goal lead at the last change. Although Thornton was never going to win the game, they played out

the last quarter with good spirit and, in fact, outscored Junction 14 goals-to-10 to take a little bit of confidence out of the game while Yarra Junction while not at their best still came away with a comfortable win. Yarra Junction 57 d Thornton Eildon 33 Best: Yarra Junction: Catherine Cook (2), Jessica Allen, Amanda Finn (47). Thornton Eildon: Anita Keddell (11), Melinda Sier, Alesha Davison. Yarra Glen v Seville YARRA Glen remains the only undefeated team in the competition after beating Seville by just one goal in one of the games of the season. This game wasn’t high scoring but defensively it was a great game to witness. Yarra Glen held just a two-goal lead at the first change and increased that to just three goals by half time. The third quarter saw Seville get through Yarra Glen’s defence on a few occasions that they wouldn’t have been happy with and by the last change, Seville had tied the scores at 21 apiece. The last quarter was a real battle with goals hard to come by, but it was Yarra Glen that somehow managed to sneak their way in front and hold on to win by the smallest possible margin in what could turn out to be a Grand Final preview. Yarra Glen 29 d Seville 28 Best: Yarra Glen: Chelsea Birchall, Stacey Moate, Nicole Braden. Seville: Ashleigh Hardy, Stacey Bell, Clare Papavs. Powelltown v Alexandra IT was a good, even, fourquarter performance from Powelltown, who weren’t really troubled by Alexandra despite how hard they tried. Powelly led by eight goals at quarter time and stretched that to 11 by the half. The second half saw Powelly outscore Alex by six goals in the third and by four goals in the last to win by 21 goals, thanks to a good team effort. Powelltown 58 d Alexandra 37 Best: Powelltown: Jessica Day, Nikki Armstrong (6), Samantha Hansen (52). Alexandra: Lauren Steyger, Emma Kidd (20), Ashleigh Creighton.

The Open 3000m got off to a roaring start, with 44 athletes taking part. Pictures: SUPPLIED

Weather no barrier to cross country A HUGE turnout of enthusiastic athletes graced Lillydale Lake on Saturday 7 June for the latest round of the Yarra Ranges Athletics club cross country season. Many athletes took on the Open 3000m after having already run other events, with 44 making it across the finish line. With the schools’ cross country season in full flight, the wet conditions could not deter the Yarra Ranges community from competing. All events had great fields and close competition throughout the fields. Maybe it was the motivation provided on Friday night when former club athlete Zak Patterson spoke to the younger athletes about his pending trip to the world athletics championships. Highlights of the day were in the 3000m where the ongoing mother/daughter battle between Holly and Erika continued - this week Holly showing how it is done - and an outstanding run from Harrison to outrun Lily. In other events, Charlotte Comport continued her good form over 500m and 34 personal bests, certainly an indication that the training is starting to pay off. Next week’s competition will be held at Morrison’s Reserve in Mount Evelyn, starting at 8.45am. Results from the 7 June cross country: 500m: Charlotte Comport 2.25, Sasha Maggs 2.31, Zoe Clarke 2.31, Ky Harris 2.58, Sam Laven 3.33. 1000m: Kiara Flavell 4.08 (PB), Jake Russell (Cockatoo) 4.56 (PB), Tiara Willis 5.12,
