The bond between Craig Geeves and cat Sully proved a life-saver. 126879

Smoke detector Throwing Sully into the garden and out of harm’s way, he raced back in to try to extinguish the fire. He was driven out when the kitchen ceiling, where he believes the fire started and where the smoke alarm was located, began to fall in on him. Craig lost collections of antiques and tools, as well as irreplaceable photos and videos in the fire. The jeans he was wearing, a box of coins he managed to grab as he escaped, and Sully, are all he has left to start afresh, but he says he consid-

shoulders and sleeps on the pillow next to mine.” Yellingbo CFA captain Paul Spinks said brigades worked for hours to contain the fire and keep it from spreading to adjoining bushland, with crews at the scene until about 4.30am. “At the end of the day, as far as house fires go, unfortunately this man has lost his house, his home, but at least he’s alive ... and all thanks to a cat,” he said, adding “That’s one hell of a smoke detector.”

ers himself very lucky to be around to rebuild. Craig has always had a special bond with Sully who he adopted as a sixmonth-old kitten eight years ago. He searched for a year to find the right cat and says there was an instant connection when they met at Blue Cross Animal Society. “I’d looked at lots and lots of cats, but she was special. She came straight up to me and was all over me. “She’s an unusual cat, more like a dog really; plays with sticks, sits on my

CRAIG Geeves has no doubt he owes his life to his cat, Sully. “I’m pretty sure I would have died in that room if Sully hadn’t woken me; she saved my life,” he told the Mail last week after escaping a fire that destroyed his Wandin home. Firefighters from six brigades responded to the 1am call on Monday, 1 September, but were unable to save the house. Craig is not surprised that the cat he has developed such a strong bond with

over the past eight years went to such extremes to wake him. “She was screaming and pawing at my chest with a low-down guttural scream that woke me up,” he said. “I’m a heavy sleeper ... it takes two alarm clocks to wake me and you can see (from the damage) that by the time the fire reached to my bedroom it was an inferno.” He could smell the smoke straight away, but said when he opened the bedroom door, with Sully in his arms, a pall of smoke hit him in the face.

Still having treatment for a detached hamstring and injuries to her arm, she said she did not want anyone else to go through the pain, trauma and the expense that she was dealing with. Mr Hoffman, organiser of the annual Warburton Up and Running fun run which crosses the bridge, said he was winded when he fell and wants the bridge made safe for the run. He said he sent a letter to the UYRRCM, the council and DEPI suggesting surface treatments that could be used on the bridge to make it safe but was told by a DEPI there was no money available. “I’m responsible for signing off on risk management for the run, which needs to be done quite soon, and I’m not prepared to do it if the bridge is not safe,� he said. Mr Buller said a meeting with DEPI and Yarra Ranges Council engineers on Wednesday identified a number of issues, in addition to the slippery deck and ramps,which he said were beyond the expertise of the UYRRCM volunteers, or Yarra Ranges Council to fix. He said the UYRRCM was waiting on an engineers’ report before making a decision to close the bridge but added that if the weather deteriorated they would look at closing it earlier. Mr Buller said he had requested the report be prepared urgently.

AN 18-year-old Hoddles Creek man will face court following a crash on the Gembrook-Launching Place Road in Hoddles Creek on Sunday, 31 August. Warburton Police allege the man, driving with a passenger, was speeding when he crashed head-on into the path of another car being driven by an elderly man. “Both vehicles were written off but, luckily, all three people came away with minor injuries,� Senior Constable Tony Pagels said. “The car hit the front A-pillar - another six inches and it would have been the door. “It’s a case where the driver, a P-plate driver, is close to home, had driven the road numerous times before and was very comfortable and over-confident with that stretch of road,� he said. He will be charged on summons with driving related offences including speeding.

Saddling up against cancer A SISTER and brother will cycle 200 kilometres in two days for cancer research in October. Seville East resident Robyn Hall, 43, and her brother Matt Ahern, 42, will be cycling to honour their father’s 12-year battle against cancer. The mother of three will be part of the Slow Wheely Team and will be cycling in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in Melbourne. Their father, 65-year-old Gane Ahern was delivered the devastating news that he was diagnosed with throat cancer. Having just been dealt the news of his diagnosis, within eight weeks he underwent a laryngectomy to remove his voicebox, the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes. Concerns were raised by Mr Ahern’s family about whether he would be able to communicate with his family again. He then endured six long weeks of radiotherapy at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and a hole was put in his neck for him to be able to breathe freely.

WARBURTON residents Kathy Kearns and David Hoffman are calling for the immediate closure of the Redwood Bridge, saying the surface is slippery and unsafe. Both have slipped on the bridge, one of three pedestrian bridges over the Yarra River at Warburton. Ms Kearns in particular suffered extensive injuries to her legs and arm when she slipped, grabbing the hand-rail as she fell on 11 August. They told the Mail last week that they knew of a number of other people who had slipped and said action needed to be taken before anyone else was injured. Closure is one option being considered according to Gordon Buller, chairman of the Upper Yarra River Reserve Committee of Management which is jointly responsible for the bridge with the Department of Environment and Primary Industry (DEPI). Mr Buller said they had received just one letter alerting them to safety concerns, but said they had also been contacted by Yarra Ranges Council who had received a number of complaints, although they are not the responsible body. Mrs Kearns said she was angry that nothing had been done after a letter she wrote to Yarra Ranges Council immediately after her fall was forwarded on to DEPI.

A SEARCH and rescue in Three Bridges last week took an odd turn when two men were found just 100 metres from their car. The two Endeavour Hills men went into the State Forest at around 3pm on Thursday 4 September, and contacted police about 8pm when they realised they had become lost. Police officers attended, and found the men about 100 metres from their car, which was parked on the side of Black Sands Road.

Family opens arms By ANEEKA SIMONIS SHE’S the Wesburn mother of three who salvaged the lives of four desperate foster children. Opening her three bedroom home to the children, Samantha Cottier has made a lot of changes to ensure the broken children have a new start in life. “We all have our good days and bad days but I am willing to do anything to keep the children happy. “The most important thing is to keep them together,” said the selfless mother of seven children under the age of 18. Ms Cottier has taken the children, aged seven, six, three and two, into her care for 12 months, hoping to make it a permanent situation. She said it was a big change for the children to live with someone they barely knew. “They had no clothing, no bed, no nothing.

on Phillip Island. And all these changes and expenses have been taken on under the support of one income provided by her husband because Ms Cottier has chronic and debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. Admirer Sharan Shahin said the Cottier family is an inspiration. “All Sam and her family want is to keep these children safe and happy. “Each time the case goes to court, Sam has to pay for solicitors which has been very expensive so far. “This woman, I feel, is truly an inspiration and these children are very lucky to have Sam who not only cares for them but loves them,” she said. Mrs Cottier wanted to thank the community for their help since she took on the four children. “The community has been brilliant... supplying beds at the last second and donating clothes and toys,” she said.

“All of their clothes were ripped, mouldy or too small,” Ms Cottier recalled. “Initially it was distressing for them.” Ms Cottier said the move has helped nurture the children. “It has been great to see the rewards. The two and three-year-old didn’t know how to read or write but they are now learning. “We try make them laugh, give them good food and our time,” she said. Before her family grew to nine, Ms Cottier was working her way through a counselling course at the Australian Counselling Association, which has now been put on hold. Taking on the extra children also meant Ms Cottier had to trade in her favourite ute for an eight-seater Tarago van, which still doesn’t seat her whole family of nine, as well as make plans to sell their holiday house

Greens’ push for park By JESSE GRAHAM THE Greens have come out swinging in favour of a new national park in the Toolangi State Forest, following a highprofile visit to the area last weekend. Federal Greens party leader Christine Milne, deputy leader Adam Bandt, Senator Janet Rice and a slew of Victorian Greens candidates attended an event for Threatened Species Day in the forest on Sunday 7 September. The event was put on by environmental groups, including the Knitting Nannas of Toolangi, and called for an end to logging in the area to protect the endangered Leadbeater’s Possum. Around 100 people attended, and Ms

Milne made a firebrand speech to the crowd, calling for the Great Forest National Park (GFNP) proposal to become a key election issue in November. “The best hope you’ve got of getting this national park and getting these forests protected is the State Election this year,” she said. “The way to do this is to force one of Liberals or Labor in Victoria to commit to the national park.” She encouraged people passionate about the cause to hold bipartisan town meetings in their electorates, to offer a chance for candidates from all parties to discuss the proposal, and to put pressure on the issue. The event was also a chance to raise

the profile of the Greens candidate for the Eildon electorate, Marie Sellstrom, who will go up against the Coalition’s Cindy McLeish, Labor’s Sally Brennan and Independent candidate Bruce Argyle in the 29 November election. Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum member, Steve Meacher, said members of the Victorian Cabinet - including Premier Denis Napthine - and Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews were invited to the event, but they declined or did not respond. Environment Minister Ryan Smith, who was unable to attend, told the Mail that the Coalition would “continue to protect and support the recovery of the Leadbeater’s Possum.”

Mr Smith noted the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) recommendations handed down this year, and the government’s $11 million commitment to them. Shadow Environment Minister, Lisa Neville, said after meeting with organisations and experts - including GFNP proposer and scientist, Professor David Lindenmayer - the party did not believe the recommendations gave “appropriate protection” to the possum. “We will continue to work with experts and local communities on the best strategies to protect Victoria’s threatened species in developing our national parks and environment policy,” she said. When questioned about criticism of

the LPAG recommendations, Mr Smith responded: “The Victorian Coalition Government has taken more action to protect our state’s faunal emblem than Labor did in 11 years.” Friends of Forestry (FoF) member Graham Taylor reiterated the group’s opposition to the national park proposal. “We don’t believe they’re getting any traction with the broader community or the regional community,” he said. “There’s no government support - it is simply a proposal the Greens and environmental groups are lobbying to the government.” As of Tuesday 9 September, 81 days remain before the Victorian election.

Healesville pool feasibility study heads for council By JESSE GRAHAM A NEW, multi-million dollar aquatics centre could be built in Healesville in the coming years, with a study on the development fronting council tonight (Tuesday). The Yarra Ranges Aquatics Centre Feasibility Study investigates the possibility of establishing a new pool in Healesville, to service the wider Yarra Valley and areas up to Marysville. The study will go before councillors at the 9 September Yarra Ranges Council meeting. Mayor Fiona McAllister said it was the first step of many towards a new centre. “One of the important things

is, with the feasibility study coming to council, it’s a public document that the community can see,” she said. “Personally, as ward councillor, I’d be very keen to hear from the community with their thoughts.” She said the next step would be a review of the Aquatic Facility Strategic Plan for the whole municipality, which would be run through this year and into 2015 with community consultation. “As we all know, we’re lucky enough to have an indoor and outdoor pool, which is great, but they’re old and getting to the end of their life,” Cr McAllister said. “Now is a great time to say ‘what’s our plan, to make sure

A group of residents, including mayor Fiona McAllister and Independent candidate, Bruce Argyle, gathered last week to give the thumbs-up for a new pool in Healesville. 126974 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM people can continue to swim once we can’t use these facilities?’” Four options are discussed in

the study - ranging from a $30 million facility with a cafe and kindergarten, through to doing nothing, and continuing to fund

the Healesville Outdoor Pool and Jack Hort Memorial Indoor Pool. However, a council officer’s report notes that doing nothing could still cost the council between $10-$15 million, due to both pools needing maintenance and possible redevelopments in the next 10 years. Nine areas around Healesville are assessed as potential sites for a new centre, with Queen's Park deemed the ideal area for the development. The expected life of a new aquatics facility - should council follow through on the project - is about 50 years. Due to the potential costs of a new facility - with $30 million, $20 million or $15 million op-

tions - Cr McAllister said council would lobby political parties this year for a pre-election funding commitment. Independent Eildon candidate and Healesville resident, Bruce Argyle, said he was 100 per cent behind the idea for a new aquatics centre, and urged the major parties to show their support. Mr Argyle, along with a group of Healesville residents, visited the Outdoor Pool last week to show their support for a new pool in the town. To view the full feasibility study, visit www.yarraranges. vic.gov.au. For the result of the council meeting, see next week’s Mail.

Snippets Coalition takes the lead THE Victorian Coalition Government continues to take strong action to smash cruel and illegal puppy farming businesses. This week the Coalition Government introduced tough new laws where anyone found guilty of animal cruelty offences will be banned from owning, managing or registering a domestic animal business for 10 years. The laws also make it mandatory for pet shops to keep detailed records on every single puppy and kitten offered for sale by their business. These records will be able to be used as evidence to prosecute illegal breeding businesses and shonky pet shops. Pet shops will no longer be able to do dodgy deals with illegal backyard breeders. In addition to the new laws, the Victorian Coalition Government has granted greater powers to the RSPCA, which are effective immediately, to help RSPCA authorised officers investigate and shut down illegal and cruel puppy farms. Only the Victorian Coalition Government has taken strong action to shut down cruel and illegal puppy and kitten farms. Labor, despite 11 years in government, refused to increase fines and refused to update the mandatory codes for breeders and for pet shops. Labor allowed the fine for an illegal puppy farm to remain at just $1195. In contrast, the Victorian Coalition Government has significantly increased this fine to up to $36,312 for individuals and up to $88,566 for businesses. The Victorian Coalition Government also introduced a world-leading mandatory breeding and rearing code that has more than 100 prescriptions including breeding limits and retirement plans for breeding animals, mandatory vet checks and specific

requirements for housing, nutrition and staffing ratios. Labor is all talk. Only the Victorian Coalition Government has acted to shut down and smash illegal puppy and kitten breeding operations. Cindy McLeish MP, State Liberal Member of Parliament.

Skies above! HOW soon village residents forget? An international flight path in and out of Tullamarine Airport traverses the sky daily above Dixons Creek and Yarra Glen. The district depends on tourism. Is there any compassion or common humanity here for visitors who may never complete their journey? Does anyone care about what can happen above in today’s bright sky? Noel Buchanan, Yarra Glen.

Gas in the pipeline IN regards to Not Such A Gas (Mail, 2 September). Mr Kennedy you are wrong! Gas is coming to Warburton. The Coalition has kept its promise. In May this year the Deputy Premier, the Hon Peter Ryan, leader of the Nationals, announced in Warburton that contracts had been signed by the Coalition Government and Multinet Pty Ltd to extend the gas main and connect 500 Warburton households to natural gas. The project will cost $12 million, $7.88 million of which is coming from the Coalition’s Regional Growth Fund. I must remind Mr Kennedy that in the 2010 state election campaign Labor refused repeatedly to make a ‘gas to Warburton’ commitment. And yes, Mr Kennedy, Brad Battin was at the announcement, and rightly so. Jim Child, Yarra Junction.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 8th September 1934 In Case You Didn’t Know WELL friends, Healesville certainly enjoyed an outstanding vocal and instrumental treat at the concert organised so excellently last week by that very good lady now residing with us again, Mrs. C. H. Alexander. It is no exaggeration to say that, at least within the past 5 years our district has not been treated to an entertainment of such a standard. Real triumphs were achieved by our local artists and the funds of the Alfred Hospital were aided to the extent of over £30. All those connected with the effort gave their services free and their fine service for such a deserving cause merits warm recognition. It is earnestly hoped by all lovers of good entertainment that it will not be so long before another similar concert is organised.

Kinder cash lesson By KATH GANNAWAY PRE-SCHOOL organisations and councils have welcomed an announcement last week that will ensure funding for 15 hours of kindergarten through to the end of 2015. The State Government funds 10 hours of kindergarten, but uncertainty had plagued kindergarten providers throughout this year with the Federal Government undecided whether it will continue to fund the additional five hours. Jacinta Graham manager of Kinderlink in Healesville, which operates Badger Creek, Queen’s Park and Haig Avenue pre-schools, told the Mail earlier this year that taking out the Federal Government component would result in a deficit to their budget of almost $100,000 which, she said, could not be made up in increased fees. She said the 15 hours of kindergarten for four-year-olds had proven benefits including better transition to school, an ability to socialise bet-

Matthew and Heather Jenkins at Badger Creek Preschool. 121355 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY ter and increased stamina to start school. There was also an impact on teachers when there was no cer-

tainty around their employment, she said. Ms Graham called for a permanent commitment to the 15 hours

from both the state and federal governments. The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) and the Early Learning Association Australia have also called for an on-going commitment. “The big ticket item for our parents and service providers is keeping 15 hours of funded preschool/ kindergarten for 2015 and beyond, and that means not letting the Commonwealth off the hook,” ELAA CEO Shane Lucas said in relation to his organisation’s submission to the Productivity Commission Inquiry into Childcare and Early Childhood Learning. The Federal Government is waiting on the findings of the Commission before making long-term decisions on funding. The MAV has said last week’s $406 million funding announcement was a good start but said long-term funding certainty was urgently needed.

Round-the-clock ambulance coverage By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE and the surrounds now have emergency coverage 24 hours a day, after a service boost and a new ambulance branch was announced last week. On Thursday 4 September, Health Minister David Davis announced 10 new paramedics and two new ambulance vehicles had commenced covering the Yarra Valley.

A peak-period unit, consisting of six paramedics and a new ambulance, is based out of Lilydale, while four extra paramedics and a new ambulance are stationed at Healesville’s branch. Mr Davis said the new arrangement would give the region a complete 24-hour ambulance coverage for the first time, and that paramedics could now quickly respond to emergencies at all hours.

Seymour MP and Eildon Candidate, Cindy McLeish, described the announcement as a “historic funding boost”, with more paramedics and ambulances now than ever before in the state’s history. Mr Davis also announced a new, $950,000 ambulance branch to be constructed in Healesville next year. The new branch will house the peak-period unit when completed, and will be designed to accommo-

date the growing number of paramedics and ambulances. He said that tenders for the new branch would be called for in October, with construction to be completed next year. Mr Davis said the boost in services to the Yarra Valley accompanied a government investment of $550 million in state-of-the-art ambulance helicopters, which will cover the state.

Club upgrade draws praise By JESSE GRAHAM THE multi-million dollar redevelopment of a Marysville community asset officially opened on the weekend, with the community coming out to celebrate. The Marysville Community Golf and Bowls Club was opened in a community event on Saturday 6 September by Deputy Premier and Leader of the Nationals Peter Ryan and Seymour MP and Eildon candidate, Cindy McLeish. Mr Ryan said the redevelopment, which cost $2 million, was another positive milestone for the town in its recovery from the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. He said the club was one of the few buildings that survived the bushfires, and became a key meeting point during the early stages of the recovery. “The Coalition Government was keen to support the redevelopment of this important local facility as part of our commitment to supporting the town during its recovery,” Mr Ryan said. The works were funded with $1.45 million from the State Government, $523,213 from the Marysville and Triangle Community Bushfire Relief Fund and the Marysville Community Golf and Bowls Club, which contributed the balance around $27,000. As a result of the works, the club now boasts a new members’ lounge, meeting room, bar, lobby, kitchen, restrooms, outdoor decking, shop, and a function room that can fit 300 people. The result, according to Mr Ryan, was “a truly wonderful facility that the whole community can be proud of.” Marysville Lions Club president, Graham Taylor, attended the opening, and said it was heartening to see the amount of community members present. “The end result is fantastic,” he said. “It’s great for Marysville, great for the golf club and great for attracting tourism to the region - congratulations to everyone.” Ms McLeish said the new club buildings, along with the $28 million Vibe Hotel and Conference Centre, would bring an economic boost to the town.

Napoleone marches on Coldstream cider By ANEEKA SIMONIS A MUCH-loved locally brewed cider brand has proudly opened the doors of its first on-site brewery in Coldstream. Napoleone Brewery and Ciderhouse had its official launch on Wednesday 3 September at their new home on St Hubert’s Road which will also produce their new craft beer, launched just under a year ago. A full house of industry locals were invited to the event, with brewer Ben Waymouth and cidermaker Behn Payten sharing philosophies about the treasured local flavours. “Everyone was blown away when they entered. “It’s a creative space where we can really grow the brand, have people try the beers and ciders on site and evolve the products with customers’ taste,” marketing manager Simon Wright said. A proud family establishment, Napoleone Cider contains fruit that has been estate grown for more than 65 years by three generations of the Napoleone family. Prior to the move, the cider which began commercial release in 2008, was made at Punt Road Wines along the same road in Coldstream. “We always intended to create a new home. The move to create it was an easy one as we have quite a following,” Mr Wright said. Despite being just over five years old, the Napo-

leone ciders are in high demand here and in other countries across the world. “It’s quite successful nationally and we are now exporting it to Asia,” Mr Wright said. The site also welcomes an intimate cafe and gourmet pizzeria, Meletos, managed by the same family who own

highly acclaimed restaurants Stones of the Yarra Valley and the Stables at Stones. Visitors are welcomed to meet the brewer at 11am each Saturday. For more information, visit their website on http://www.napoleonecider.com. au/.

A Visage of success By KATH GANNAWAY PAINTER Ying Tang and photographer Ivan Gaal have taken top honours in the 2014 Visage art competition at Warburton. Ying Tan’s watercolour ‘Aunty Joan’s Smile’ took first prize in the 2D Open section and Mr Gaal’s portrait of Warburton identity Ron Howard ‘Ronnie is still dancing at 98’ won the photography section. The works are part of the fifth Visage Exhibition

hosted by the Upper Yarra Artisans and officially launched at the arts centre in Warburton on Saturday, 30 August. UYA president Sandy Peeters said the 38 works represented a diverse selection of people of the Yarra Valley both as artists and as subjects, with a range of interpretations and styles adding to the depth of the exhibition. The exhibition is on display until 24 September.

Black Keys for the Green By CAITLIN McARTHUR NEXT April will see rock ‘n’ roll fans flock to Coldstream’s Rochford Winery, with the venue set to host multiple-Grammy award winners The Black Keys. The American rock duo has been named as the headlining act for the Rolling Green event in April 2015. A new event, Rolling Green has been announced by promoters as the little brother of the popular event A Day on the Green. Roundhouse Entertainment promoter, Michael Newton, said The Black Keys was the perfect band to launch the concert. “There is no reason younger audiences should not see bands they want to see in the beautiful environments that have made A Day on the Green such an established event for an older crowd,” Mr Newton said. The concert is a part of The Black Keys’ world tour promoting their new album Turn Blue which has debuted on both Billboard 200 and ARIA Charts at number one. The album debuted in top five and top 10 charts worldwide with the first single ‘Fever’ sitting at the top of many radio lists. Their latest single Gotta Get Away can be heard on the airwaves at the moment. One half of the Black Keys, Patrick Carney, said when it came to a new record the duo always tried to push themselves to “not repeat our previous work, but not to abandon it either.” “We’re excited for the world to hear Turn Blue,” Mr Carney said. Rolling Green’s line-up also features the well-known talent Spiderbait on the back of their first album after an extended hiatus of almost 10 years. Other supporting artists include South Hampton rock trio Band of Skulls and Adelaide quartet Bad/Dreems. Last year Bad/Dreems’ singles ‘Dumb Ideas’ and ‘My Only Friend’ saw Triple J and Rolling Stone name them as ‘ones to watch’ in 2014. Ticket sales for the Rolling Green event open 9am on 11 September and are expected to sell out fast. The 5 April event will start late in the afternoon and run into the night. It is The Black Keys’ eighth tour of Australia since their first visit back in 2003.

Magic In The Moonlight Starring: Colin Firth, Emma Stone, Jacki Weaver, Simon McBurney Rated PG for mild themes MAGIC In The Moonlight is quite an insulting brand of magic. In 1928, Stanley (Colin Firth), a pompous illusionist and debunker of spiritual mediums, resolves to expose Sophie (Emma Stone), a famous mystic. But Stanley soon finds himself believing in her gifts and falling in love with her. Superb artistry isn’t always enough. The performances may be universally excellent, the dialogue is often charming and the 1920s aesthetic is

spot-on, but I hated this film as a conceptually-offensive and frankly patronising movie. Magic In The Moonlight depicts rationalism as the path to bitter, misanthropic cynicism, and it places an excessive emphasis on spiritualism. Morosely convinced of life’s emptiness, Stanley finds renewed happiness and meaning through the promise of an afterlife in Sophie’s apparent communing with the dead. Regardless of your stance on faith, the notion of “dull, tragic reality”, and of spiritualism as the sole factor enriching Stanley’s life, should be an affront to anyone who

has found uplifting joy in the beauty of science, art, music or family. The plot is also severely flawed. Stanley is a glaring stereotype of skeptics, his transition to a starry-eyed believer is too abrupt and his love for Sophie makes little sense, especially after a real act of deception comes to light. The shallow, thinly-written story will turn most people off, but rationalists will despise Magic in the Moonlight, and we don’t need movies dismissing healthy skepticism as a weakness. - By Seth Hynes

Our road deaths still rising By JESSE GRAHAM

Locked doors provide a safety barrier. 126795

Keep the doors locked By KATH GANNAWAY POLICE have backed a Healesville woman’s warning that drivers need to lock their doors - and not just when driving in the city or suburbs. The woman (who asked not to be identified) contacted the Mail to warn other drivers after a man tried to open her 21-year-old daughter’s car when she was stopped at lights in Lilydale on Sunday night (31 August).

The young woman was travelling from Mount Evelyn to Healesville at about 9pm when she pulled up at the lights on the corner of Maroondah Highway and Nelson Road, opposite the Shell service station. “The guy, who was wearing a hoodie, ran straight over to the car and tried to open the door, but fortunately it was locked,” the woman said. “She drove straight off, but it really scared her, and you just don’t

know what his intentions were or what might have happened if he had been able to get in.” Victoria Police Media Unit spokesperson Creina O’Grady said the advice was well heeded. “I think it’s definitely a good safety precaution because you never really know who’s out and about, especially if you’re stopping at pedestrian crossings,” she said. “People need to feel as safe as

they can and if locking the car door makes them feel safer and more confident, and for that matter, checking the back seat as well, then adopt it as a safety precaution.” Ms O’Grady said country people might be more relaxed about locking the doors to their house or car. “Car doors, like house doors should be locked whether you’re in the city or the country,” she said. Anyone experiencing an incident such as this should call triple-zero.

DESPITE the statewide road toll dropping year-by-year, road deaths in the Yarra Ranges are set to rise before the year’s end. As of Friday, 5 September, five people had died on roads throughout the Yarra Ranges - the exact same number as for the same time period in 2013. Over the whole of 2013, the road toll across the state dropped to its lowest point in 90 years, with 243 road deaths, compared to 282 the year before. But in the Yarra Ranges, the statistics rose from five deaths in 2012 to eight in 2013. Speaking at the recent Teenage Road Information Program (TRIP), Warburton Police Sergeant Tom Wilkinson said that about 10 people had died each year on local roads. “There’s between eight and 10 people and we’re at five,” he said. “If we operate through the trend, I’m sad to say there’s going to be anywhere between three and five lost here in the ranges - it’s pretty significant, isn’t it?” Healesville Police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said the Yarra Ranges was one of the top 10 Police Service Areas (PSAs) in Victoria for road trauma and serious collisions. However, he said that police across the valley were working hard to change driver behaviours, and that the results could already be seen. “If you want to look at the effectiveness, there has been no serious injury collision on the Black Spur in over 12 months - it used to be once or twice a week,” he said. “Driver behaviour across our respective area is definitely changing - you can see it by the speed on the highway.” Sgt Thomson said that people didn’t have to speed to get to their destination on time, and that the potential losses greatly outweighed the benefits of speeding. “Lay out the benefit of it - there’s fuel loss and wear and tear of the car, all for a minute,” he said. “There’s potential loss of life and property, just to save a minute. Not worth it.” The statewide provisional road toll is 170, compared to 157 at the same time last year.

Tigers’ third big dance YVMDFNL SENIORS – DIVISION 1 SECOND SEMI FINAL Woori Yallock 14.14 (98) d Wandin 10.12 (72) WOORI Yallock has booked a spot in the Grand Final for the third successive year after a fantastic victory over a Wandin team that was in redhot form coming into this game. This match started in great fashion with both sides going in hard, with the score going goal for goal and it was Woori that held a narrow five-point lead at the first change. The second quarter was still a tough rugged battle, but Woori looked steadier with ball in hand and stretched its lead to 16 points by halftime. The third was more of the same, Wandin had plenty of the ball but Woori was always able to edge that little further in front as the quarter went on and by the last change the lead was an even four goals. The last quarter was an even contest and Wandin certainly gave it their all to get back into the game but Woori’s finals experience shone through as it held on to win by 26 points. Woori will now have the week off and prepare for the victor of the Wandin/Mount Evelyn Preliminary Final to take on in the Grand Final the following weekend. Woori Yallock best players: M. Bonuda, D. Ryan, J. Adams. Wandin best players: M. Dyer, B. Chapman, J. Ladner. FIRST SEMI FINAL Mount Evelyn 14.9 (93) d Upwey Tecoma 11.19 (85) THIS was a fantastic contest and one that Upwey will be kicking itself about as it just couldn’t convert late in the game that ultimately cost the side, not to mention that Mount Evelyn was very good and certainly deserved victory. This game was a goal for goal battle for most of the day but Mount Evelyn did look to have the edge in the first three quarters as it did lead for the majority of the clash – the biggest lead was 10 points at half-time and that margin was narrowed just marginally to seven points by the last change. The last quarter saw Upwey pepper the goals and finish strong but it booted 12 straight behinds for the quarter while Mount Evelyn only had the three scoring shots but they made it count, booting 2.1. Come final siren, Mount Evelyn was probably lucky to advance but it is still alive and just one win away from playing in the Grand Final against the Tigers, as it takes on Wandin next week in the Preliminary Final for that right while Upwey will have to work on its kicking over the summer as its finals campaign has come to an end. Mount Evelyn best players: R. Cowan (2 goals), M. Holly, W. Nicholson. Upwey Tecoma best players: C. Davis (2 goals), K. Grenda (2 goals), J. Hevern. RESERVES – DIVISION 1 SECOND SEMI FINAL Upwey Tecoma 11.9 (75) d Belgrave 8.9 (57) THIS was great battle early as both teams went blow for blow and neither side could grab a distinct advantage, Upwey led by just one point at quarter and half-time. The third quarter was where Upwey was able to open up the game a bit with some great gut running which broke through Belgrave’s defence and it was rewarded with a five goal-to-two quarter and its lead out to 20 points going into the last quarter. The last stanza was a hard battle with both teams struggling to hit the

scoreboard which played into Upwey’s hands as it eventually triumphed by 20 points and now march into The Grand Final in two week’s time. Belgrave will have one more chance in the Preliminary Final next week against Emerald. Upwey Tecoma best players: R. Hannagan, L. O’Brien, J. Hughes. Belgrave best players: M. Hall, E. Doulgeris (2 goals), J.McDermott. FIRST SEMI FINAL Emerald 9.10 (64) d Warburton Millgrove 7.10(52) A LOW scoring game throughout but one that was in the balance right into the last quarter. The first half was a very tough struggle with both teams not able to generate any substantial attacks, it was Warby that went to the half-time break with a narrow twopoint lead. The game didn’t really open up too much in the third, but Emerald did take their opportunities booting three goals to one to grab an 11-point, three-quarter time lead. The last quarter was another tight affair, but it was Emerald making the most of its chances, booting three goals straight while Warby had its chances but was wasteful, scoring 2.5 which ultimately saw Emerald triumph and move into The

Preliminary Final next week to take on Belgrave with the winner booking a place in the Grand Final against the awaiting Upwey. Emerald best players: M. Haesler, B. Hamilton, J. Bova (1 goal). Warburton Millgrove best players: J. Walker (3 goals), K. Hall, J. Ormsby. SENIORS – DIVISION 2 PRELIMINARY FINAL Yarra Glen 11.11(77) d Thornton Eildon 7.14 (56) YARRA Glen has made it through to The Grand Final to take on Seville next week after a 21-point victory over Thornton-Eildon. This game started off in pretty good fashion with both sides hunting the ball very hard, Yarra Glen was a little more settled, booting 5.2 for the quarter while Thornton-Eildon had plenty of the ball but booted 3.4 to see Yarra Glen lead by 10 points at the first break. Scoring was hard to come by in the second quarter but Yarra Glen did manage two majors to ThorntonEildon’s one to grab a handy 17-point half-time lead. The third quarter was where Yarra Glen skipped away slightly, it may have only slotted four goals but it was two more than Thornton-Eildon and its lead was out to 27 points at

the last break. The last quarter wasn’t anything special, Yarra Glen only scored four behinds while Thornton only booted one major in a bit of an anti climax to the game, but that didn’t matter to Yarra Glen as it now advance to the big dance next week in what should be a cracking game. Yarra Glen best players: J. Baughan, P. Moate, R. Gurney (1 goal). Thornton-Eildon best players: Z. King, R. Chapman (1 goal), J. Myers. RESERVES PRELIMINARY FINAL Alexandra 9.12 (66) d Yarra Glen 5.8 (38) INCREDIBLY after an undefeated home-and-away season, Yarra Glen has been knocked out of the finals in straight sets as it went down to Alexandra by 28 points in The Preliminary Final. This game was a struggle early as both sides only managed one goal in the first quarter, but it was Alex that started winning more of the ball in the second term, it only booted two goals for the quarter but held Yarra Glen to just two behinds to take a 16-point lead into half-time. The third was a dire struggle with neither team able to break the game open, and by the

last change Alexandra held a 15-point lead. The last term saw Alexandra’s running game start to get on top of Yarra Glen and it made it count as it booted four goals to two to finish the game well and march into next week’s Grand Final to take on Seville for the ultimate prize. Alexandra best players: C. Pearce, Z. Vincent, C. Jack (1 goal). Yarra Glen best players: C. Moate, K. Booth, E. Shaw. UNDER 18s DIVISION 1 – SECOND SEMI FINAL Healesville 10.16 (76) d Olinda Ferny Creek 11.7 (73) HEALESVILLE hasn’t lost a game all year, but it came mighty close to losing this one, however it did what great teams do and that’s find a way to win. Both sides had the same scoring shots in the first quarter, but Olinda was accurate with 4.1 while Healesville booted five straight behinds. The second quarter saw Healesville claw its way back but it still didn’t have its kicking boots on as it scored 2.5 to 1.1. and Olinda’s lead was just four points at the half. Olinda got some good run going in the third and they put on five goals to three to grab a 16-point lead at the last change. This was Healesville’s biggest challenge all year and it stood tall in the last, its back-line was outstanding holding Olinda to just one goal as it produced four majors to hit the lead late in the game and was able to hold on to win and march into the Grand Final. Olinda will get another shot next week when it plays Upwey Tecoma in The Preliminary Final. Healesville best players: T. Sund (4 goals), J. McLeod (2 goals). Olinda Ferny Creek best players: L. Taylor (5 goals), D. Peterson (2 goals). DIVISION 1 – FIRST SEMI FINAL Upwey Tecoma 11.8 (74) d Emerald 7.4 (46) UPWEY started this game in brilliant fashion, it was nothing short of superb in the first half as it raced to a 53-point lead while holding a stunned Emerald to just one goal. Emerald certainly didn’t look as though it was going to be a threat from half-time on but to its credit it came out in a different frame of mind in the second half and made a contest of the game. Emerald outscored Upwey six goals to two for the remainder of the game but it was all about Upwey’s start that was the catalyst for its win which propels the side into the Preliminary Final against Olinda Ferny Creek next weekend. Upwey Tecoma best players: S. Shineberg (2 goals), N. Waterman, M. Kirby (2 goals). Emerald best players: T. Hendrikx, J. Turpin, K. Asling. DIVISION 2 – PRELIMINARY FINAL Wandin 13.7 (85) d Yea 5.7 (37) WANDIN will take on Woori Yallock in The Grand Final next week after a solid four-quarter performance over Yea in the Preliminary Final, beating them by 48 points. Wandin was way too slick for Yea in the first half and although Yea did try to defend hard, it wasn’t enough to stop Wandin booting eight goals to one to race to a 41-point half-time lead. The second half was a lot more even as Yea did boot some late majors to add a bit of respectability to the scoreboard, but this game was always in Wandin’s control and it will go into next week’s Grand Final feeling pretty good about its form. Wandin best players: A. Napoleone, A. Rouget (1 goal), P. Hodgett (5 goals). Yea best players: G. White, A. Buchanan, T. Worthington.

Healesville storms ahead DIVISION 1 - A RESERVE FIRST SEMI FINAL Healesville 41 d Emerald 37 HEALESVILLE has advanced to the preliminary final after storming home against Emerald in a game where it trailed for the majority of the match. Emerald had the slight edge in the first three quarters but Healesville was always in touch and threatening. Emerald held a three goal lead at three-quarter time and a grandstand finish was on the cards. Healesville’s work-rate in the last quarter was brilliant and it made Emerald look slow. Healesville finished the game with a 13 goal to six last quarter to win in great style and will take plenty of confidence going into next week’s final against Mount Evelyn with the winner to advance to the grand final to take on Wandin. Best Healesville: Lisa Baker (29), Georgia Murty, Bianca Grimshaw. Emerald: Kylie Del Marco (20), Meagan Baguley (17). SECOND SEMI FINAL Wandin 48 d Mount Evelyn 36 WANDIN shot out of the blocks and jumped to a six-goal lead at quarter time scoring 14 goals to eight to open proceedings and that opening was the reason for its victory. The next two quarters were quite tight as but Mount Evelyn just couldn’t make any real in-roads into Wandin’s lead and by three quarter time Wandin’s lead was eight goals. Wandin finished the day with more run scoring 13 goals to nine in the last quarter to record an impressive 12goal win and move into the grand final awaiting the winner of the Mount Evelyn, Healesville preliminary final. Best Wandin: Xanthie Roper, Lauren Fletcher (23), Corinne Bogle. Mount Evelyn: Susan Livesey, Victoria Starling, Elissa Dykstra (21). DIVISION 1 - A GRADE SECOND SEMI FINAL Wandin 39 d Upwey Tecoma 37 WANDIN has inflicted Upwey’s first loss of the season with a two-goal win in a fantastic second semi-final clash which books it a place in the grand final. This clash had everything with the winner in doubt deep into the last quarter. Wandin trailed by just one goal at the first change but went into halftime with a three-goal lead after a hard fought 10 goals to six second quarter. The second half was classy stuff by two very good sides that turned it on for the spectators. It was goal for goal and Upwey looked to be finishing strong but Wandin was able to hold on to record a two-

Best Wandin: Melissa Martinov (24), Ella Priestley, Tayissa Coppinger. Upwey: Krista Tomlinson, Gretta Hankinson, Jordan Lingard (18). FIRST SEMI FINAL Belgrave 60 d Mount Evelyn 30 BELGRAVE played a very unforgiving brand of netball against a depleted Mount Evelyn team. Belgrave skipped out to an eightgoal lead at the first change and continued with its good form in the second quarter stretching the lead out to a comprehensive 17 goals by half-time. Belgrave ripped the game right away from Mount Evelyn in the third, shooting 16 goals to seven and it had this game in its keeping by the last change with a 26-goal lead. The last quarter was really just played out as the result was never in doubt with Belgrave eventually running out comfortable 30 goal winners, they will now progress through to the preliminary final and take on Upwey in what should be a scintillating clash with the winner to play Wandin in the grand final. Best Belgrave: Tara Jois, Carmen Timms (32), Bianca Pilkington. Mount Evelyn: Maddie Hickey (23), Jessica Walker, Teagan Ashmore. DIVISION 1 - B GRADE SECOND SEMI FINAL Wandin 23 d Olinda Ferny Creek 20 WANDIN had a hard fight all day but was good enough to come from behind to win a thriller by three goals to advance to the grand final. There was little separating these sides all day, Olinda held a three-goal lead at quarter and at half-time but it was Wandin that got a little more of the ball in the third quarter and reduced the margin to just one goal going into

the last. Wandin’s run and quick ball movement in the last quarter was of a high standard and it made it count on the scoreboard as it shot eight goals to four to march into the grand final in two weeks’ time and will take on the winner of next week’s preliminary final between Olinda and Mount Evelyn. Best Wandin: Taylor Murphy (14), Rachael Roberts, Danielle Smith. Olinda Ferny Creek: Lisa McKenzie, Caitlin Portarianos (17), Samantha Royce. FIRST SEMI FINAL Mount Evelyn 25 d Emerald 17 MOUNT Evelyn got on top early as it jumped out to a seven-goal lead at the first change. It continued its good form in the second quarter stretching the lead out to 13 goals by half-time and looking the goods. The third term went goal for goal but Mount Evelyn was still well in control. The last quarter saw Mount Evelyn only score two goals but it was never threatened even though Emerald did score seven goals and finished well it was never going to be enough as the margin was too great to overcome. Mount Evelyn will now take on Olinda in the preliminary final next week for the right to play off in the grand final against Wandin. Best Mount Evelyn: Kelsey Eslick, Bridie Maher (11), Jessica Howe. Emerald: Sally Rush, Amy Moses, Kristy Evans. DIVISION 1 - B RESERVE SECOND SEMI FINAL Wandin 36 d Warburton Millgrove 17 WANDIN was way too good from the outset. It may have only led this game by five goals at the first change but it looked the slicker side and that proved the case as the game went on. It jumped out to an 11-goal lead

by half-time and then put the game beyond doubt in the third shooting 12 goals to four and the lead had blown out to 19 goals. The last quarter produced six goals apiece as the sides went through the motions as the result was always going to go Wandin’s way as it book a spot in the grand final and await the victor of next week’s preliminary final between Warburton and Olinda. Best Wandin: Erin Foot, Gayle Seeger, Penelope Harris. Warburton Millgrove: Emma Taylor, Rachel Butler, Ellie Stahl. FIRST SEMI FINAL Olinda Ferny Creek 33 d Emerald 22 A VERY consistent four-quarter performance from Olinda produced an 11 goal victory. It went to quarter time with a fourgoal lead and boosted that to six by half-time. Despite the margin not being large Olinda looked in complete control and that proved the case in the second half as Emerald did play OK but Olinda was able to answer every challenge and then some to win by what was a comfortable 11 goals. It will now take on Warburton in the preliminary final next week with the winner earning the right to play off in the grand final against Wandin the following weekend. Best Olinda Ferny Creek: Tammy Hall (13), Romy Schauble, Emily Groszek. Emerald: Sharn Walker (12), Hayley Scott, Mary Rush. DIVISION 2 - A GRADE PRELIMINARY FINAL Seville 35 defeated Yea 21 SEVILLE will play Yarra Glen in the grand final next week in what should be a ripping encounter after accounting for Yea by 14 goals. Yea actually started this game very well and caught Seville on the back foot as Yea grabbed a five-goal lead at the first change however Seville got

the defence in order in the second term only allowing Yea to score two goals while they shot 11 to go into half-time with a four goal buffer. The second half really did see Seville’s fitness and poise shine through. It added another 19 goals to nine to win in a reasonably comfortable fashion and will certainly fancy its chances against Yarra Glen next week. Best Seville: Riley Gentle, Clare Papavs, Rachael Goulding (9). Yea: Brooke Lloyd, Gaby Duncan, Cindy Butterworth. DIVSION 2 - A RESERVE PRELIMINARY FINAL Yarra Glen 53 d Yea 49 YARRA Glen is into the grand final to take on Seville after a dramatic conclusion to the game that saw it all tied up at the final siren with 43 goals each. This game was a great contest that provided one of the best last quarters one could wish for. Yea held sway after three quarters and looked to have the momentum going into the last as they scored 15 goals to eight in the third to grab a six goal lead at the last change. The last quarter was frantic as Yarra Glen shot 12 goals to Yea’s six to tie it up come the final siren. Two seven-minute extra time quarters saw Yarra Glen shoot 10 to Yea’s six and Yarra Glen had managed to pull off an incredible four-goal victory. If Yarra Glen takes the same intensity into next week’s grand final then it has every chance of becoming Premiers. Best Yarra Glen: Sharnie Gray (28), Cayley Gray, Edana Lacey. Yea: Rhiannon Aldous (29), Cate Garlick, Kaylee Turvey. DIVISION 2 - B GRADE PRELIMINARY FINAL Seville 28 d Yea 19 SEVILLE will play Yarra Glen in next week’s grand final after a good ninegoal victory over Yea in the preliminary final. Seville always seemed to have the answers in this game and even though Yea was always in touch they couldn’t make enough in-roads to be a real threat. Seville held a five-goal lead at the first change, four goals at the half and five goals at the last change. The last quarter was where Seville took the game away from Yea as they slowly stretched their lead throughout the quarter shooting six goals to two to win in pretty good style and move one step closer to premiership glory. Best Seville: Melanie-Rose Jakobs (17), Kylee Baldasso, Lauren Gorfine. Yea: Stacey Murray (12), Tegan Finch, Madison Bell.

Sure shot eye-opener at gun club By JOHN WOOD COOL and overcast conditions greeted the competitors at the Woods Point Gun Club’s Maori Creek Clay Target Championships. A quite varied day of competition started the shooters lining up for the Eye-Opener event that allowed the cobwebs to be cleaned from the barrels before the championship events started. Trevor Ewert shot the only perfect score of 15/15 to win a quite handy cash prize. The first championship was 20 targets Double Barrel Continental. There were 20 clay targets with only two shots allowed for each target. The targets were thrown in a random arc from side to side and varied from low to high at the same time tricky but fun. Three shooters, Trevor Ewert, John Wood and Phillip Desmond, managed to return 20/20 scores to go into a shoot off for the championship sash. Ewert missed his third shoot off target with Desmond missing his eighth leaving club president Wood to take the sash, 28/28. In the grades, Desmond won AA Grade, 23/23 with Ewert second

22/23. A Grade was a comfortable win for Peter West, 19/20, Tom Apps second, 16/20. Wood won B Grade, 20/20 with Daryl Ewert second 19/20. C Grade was another Ewert affair with Matt first, 19/20, Garry second 20/24 after a shoot off with Michael Bevis and Lachlan O’Halloran. The main event was 25 pair Deauville Doubles, a pair of targets thrown simultaneously for a team of two shooters. Only two shots per shooter allowed. Yarra Valley’s son and father team of Michael and Rob Bevis went into a shoot off against another son and father team, Matt and Daryl Ewert. The Bevis team was the clear winner with a final score of 27/30 to the Ewert’ 26/30. Third place was won by another father and son team, Trevor and Garry Ewert, 27/35 from fourth place winners Tom Apps and Phillip Desmond 26/35. The last championship was a 15 target Silent Rise where the the target was released with a time delay from when the shooter became ready to shoot. Desmond and Ewert (T) returned

15/15 and after a short shoot off

and a plentiful arvo tea.

ONE of Australia’s most noted leadership experts, Richard Maloney - the son of Emerald RSL president Peter - launched his new book recently which cuts to the core of both sporting club and business culture. A strong culture is something the greatest sporting teams have, with those at the bottom aspiring to replicate it. Maloney is a former highly successful state league football player in his own right, winning multiple premierships. He has been associated with eight elite sporting organisations across the country, helping 39 teams to grand finals with 24 going on to win premierships. He has worked closely with Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League (YVMDFL) powerhouse Upwey Tecoma, as well as the the cricket club, in addition to the Yarra Valley Old Boys in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA). But Maloney’s programs have also been implemented at the professional elite level, including at AFL club the Western Bulldogs. Dogs stars Matthew Boyd and Shaun Higgins attended the launch of his book and raved about the work Maloney had done at the club. ‘The Minds of Winning Teams’, his new book, is somewhat of a handbook for businesses and sporting clubs seeking to reinvent their cultures and fast-track a more productive and profitable environment. Maloney offers a strategic breakdown of the key components of leadership structure - providing specialised practical exercises that can be implemented into any organisation to create quick and effective change. He also provides in-depth interviews with some of Australia’s sporting icons, including Australian Test cricket legend Justin Langer, Australia’s most successful female Olympian Rechelle Hawkes and former AFL and NFL player Ben Graham. “It’s about how to create change in a fast and effective way that’s measureable,” Maloney told the Mail. “The key message is that engagement is the new leadership. “We’ve got to get people engaged first before your leadership message really takes shape. “The key message in the book is that it’s all about activation, not knowledge dumping these days. “Especially in the sports industry - guys don’t have time to be taking notes and learning what sort of personality they are.
