warning bells that will again favour the need of the adoptors over parents and the child. Mr Hammersley argues that ownership is an outdated practice. “No-one is against caring for a child where that need is there; what we object to is ownership and the denial of that person’s heritage; the secrets, the lies and the false reality,” he said.

Mr Hammersley says his story as a ‘black market’ baby can be linked to today’s political thinking around adoption which he says is about finding new ways to demonise people and take their babies.

While the guidelines which dictated how he told his story allowed the exposure of historic events, comment on the current political take on adoption, both homegrown and overseas, was off limits.

WILLIAM Hammersley’s story is on the record. Chapter by chapter, the Warburton man adopted out as a baby in an era when forced adoptions were commonplace, has had his story included in the Forced Adoptions History Project in the National Archives of Australia. It’s a significant step forward for increasing awareness and understanding of the heartbreaking events and policies that saw mothers forced to relinquish their babies, and children who grew up living a lie. Under the title ‘Daddy Who ... The untold story of baby trafficking in Victoria during the 1940s/’50s’, Mr Hammersley tells his own story, and highlights another aspect of adoption practices he says has yet to be fully exposed - the selling of babies. Mr Hammersley never met his mother, but recently visited her grave. His story talks of the circumstances around which his mother relinquished him describing it as “a swelling tide of circumstance (that) had snatched another babe from its mother’s arms.” He says for 50 years he couldn’t forgive her for placing him for adoption with an abusive, ignorant family - until he found the truth. “Australian governments have yet to acknowledge the plight of many infants and their vulnerable mothers during the 1940s and ’50s who were sold to couples for 50 pounds. “These children’s stories remain a hidden part of our social and political history,” he said. Mr Hammersley believes he was a ‘50 pound baby’. His research reveals an era where unwed young women and women escaping domestic violence looking to terminate a pregnancy or have an infant adopted were “fodder for unscrupulous adoption agents and abortionists”. He draws on newspaper articles and public and private documents to present a case which is unapologetically condemning of church organisations for the role they played, of governments and bureaucracies, and of a “1950s capitalistic conservative

THIEVES have cost two Yarra Junction businesses thousands of dollars for little more than a handful of loose change. Yarra Junction police are investigating break-ins at Hair Impressions and Red Relish Cafe overnight on Monday 6 October and the Tuesday morning. The thieves smashed windows and were able to get into Hair Impressions where they stole the cash register. It’s the second time in just a couple of months that Hair Impressions has been targeted and had its cash register stolen. “Owner Catherine Wetherall was frustrated and angry on Tuesday as she faced the task of putting in another insurance claim and the inevitable excess costs. “You work hard and this happens... some little punk comes in and thinks it’s OK to

AN APPEAL to VCAT against plans to build a 40 metre communications tower in Millgrove has been stalled as Telstra seeks further community consultation. Yarra Ranges Council granted a planning permit for the tower in March but the decision has been challenged by resident Sheila Goodwin with VCAT scheduled to hear the matter on 9 October. Telstra’s request for an adjournment to give the company further opportunities to consult with residents regarding the siting of the tower was granted and the matter will now be heard on 15 January. Ms Goodwin led a community campaign to oppose the initial application and in July lodged an Application for Review with VCAT on the grounds that the siting of the pole will degrade the centre of the township, disrupt views and that there is a heritage overlay on the site. Ms Goodwin said she is prepared to pay for a bus to go to the January hearing but fears that the timing, during summer holidays, may impact on the number of people available. “The important thing now is to get objectors who were part of the initial objection to support the appeal,� she said. A Telstra spokesman confirmed that the company had sought the adjournment saying the company wanted more time to consult with residents regarding the siting of the facility. –Kath Gannaway

Mr Lilly said that Eastern Health had to protect confidential data before it was provided to third parties, such as SHHAG. Health Minister David Davis agreed with Mr Lilly and said the data request was being worked through. “The Department of Health will make contact with Brewerton and Associated to discuss how their information needs can be met while protecting patient privacy,� he said. “As a minimum, this means that

A CASE study into the future of Healesville Hospital has been ‘stalled’ until after the State Election according to an advocacy group, which says it requested critical information in May. But the Health Department and Eastern Health has hit back at the group’s claims as ‘misleading’, and said it was working to release important data so the study can take place. The Save Healesville Hospital Action Group (SHHAG) acting chairwoman Jane Judd contacted the Mail last week and said the government had not released Eastern Health’s financial data, as requested by the group in May. Ms Judd said the data was “critical� for an independent business case study being undertaken by consultant Rita Brewerton to determine if the hospital would be better run by Eastern Health or independently. She said that Ms Brewerton had met with Eastern Health CEO Alan Lilly on 4 September to discuss the data that was needed, with a detailed request officially delivered on 12 September. Ms Judd said SHHAG’s aim was to have the case study finished before the election, in the hope of gaining bipartisan support for the results - whichever way they pointed. “We’ve been trusting, and it is now clear that we cannot achieve

de-identified patient level data given to the consultants would need to be modified, to reduce the potential for re-identification.� Seymour MP and Eildon candidate Cindy McLeish said she had been speaking regularly with the minister and Eastern Health on the issue. “I understood that the process was moving along,� she said. “(But) Because of the complexity, it’s not something that can happen really quickly,� she said. Independent Eildon candidate and SHHAG member Bruce Argyle said he wanted the data released before the government enters its caretaker period on 4 November, in the lead up to the 29 November election. Mr Argyle said the Healesville Hospital would be an important election issue for Eildon, and that he supported the results of the case study. “Whoever is elected for the Eildon electorate needs to be someone that represents the wishes of the communities here, and the community has clearly expressed that this is an important issue to them,� he said. “The current government, for whatever reason, is not viewing this as a serious request.� Mr Davis’s office was contacted and asked whether the data would be released before 4 November but no response was given by time of going to press.

They will save a significant amount on their power bills. Another example is Hillview Motors and Tyres in The Basin. The proprietor installed an 18 panel solar power system last year. He says he has reduced his power bill. The third example is Lysterfield Discount Animal Supplies. Their solar power system installed a year ago, has 20 panels. They also purchased a press for cardboard and plastic wrap, to help make sure their packaging is recycled rather than going to landfill.

TAFE twist slammed By JESSE GRAHAM A WAR of words has erupted between political parties after last week’s announcement that TAFE would be returning to Lilydale next year - only not at the former Swinburne site. Box Hill Institute CEO Norman Gray announced on Wednesday 8 October that Box Hill would be setting up a campus in Lilydale with the Centre for Adult Education, offering classes at the beginning of 2015. The TAFE will be offering 20 courses in subjects such as health and aged care, construction and animal studies, along with VET classes for high school students and the possibility of transferring from a diploma to a degree with Deakin University. Mr Gray was accompanied by Minister for Higher Education and Skills, Nick Wakeling, and Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe, who announced government support of $2.25 million for the TAFE. The location for the new campus was not announced on the day, with Mr Gray citing negotiations over the lease for the site, but a Box Hill Institute representative confirmed the campus would not be at the former Swinburne campus. Labor candidate for Evelyn Peter Harris and Deputy Opposition Leader James Merlino said the fact that Box Hill would not be running from Swinburne’s campus was an “insult” to the community. “To come along and offer us a shopfront, we think, it is pretty insulting, as a TAFE and a university sits there as a ghost town,” Mr Harris said. “Last week’s announcement by the government does not even attempt trying to get away with calling their ‘solution’ a campus, instead choosing the ambiguous ‘flexible learning centre’,” Mr Merlino said. Mr Wakeling and Ms Fyffe said on the day that the provider’s move to Lilydale was not influenced by government, but decided upon before the funding was organised. “The most important thing is that it is

Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe and Box Hill Institute CEO, Norman Gray, at the announcement for a new TAFE campus in Lilydale. 128901 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Box Hill’s decision on its own,” Ms Fyffe said. “The new CEO and board have done an evaluation to see if it’s profitable, and they’re in for the long-term. “If I was 20 years younger, I’d be doing cartwheels,” Ms Fyffe said. Mr Gray said that, following Swinburne University of Technology’s closure of its Lilydale campus in 2013, there had been a gap in further and higher education for school-leavers. “The community here, we know, hasn’t been getting the vocational education for employment,” he said. “It’s an area that’s not well serviced at the moment - we consider it to be part of the extended community, so we thought we can’t miss this opportunity.” He said that running a traditional TAFE was not financially sustainable, but that video conferencing technology and transportable training equipment would be used for students in the Lilydale campus. Labor announced earlier in the year that, if it wins government in the 29 November election, it will re-open the former Swin-

burne campus to university and TAFE, possibly by compulsorily re-acquiring the campus if it was sold. Mr Wakeling criticised the pledge, and called on the opposition to support the new Box Hill campus. “Government should not be in the business of telling educational facilities what courses they operate, from what buildings and what staff they employ - that is not the role of this government,” he said. “Box Hill made the decision that they wish to provide services here, because there were none. “I’m calling on the opposition to back the decision of Box Hill TAFE.” Yarra Ranges Councillor Maria McCarthy said the announcement was a ‘great outcome’ for students, who could now enrol to study in Lilydale next year. “We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome,” she said. Rumours have circulated that the campus could be opening at a former car-yard in Lilydale - Box Hill Institute was contacted with the rumour, but no response was given before deadline.

All creatures, great and small, blessed By KATH GANNAWAY SAINT Francis of Assisi would have loved to see all the creatures, great and small, human and critter, hanging out together at All Saints Church on Sunday 5 October. Reverend Gail Pinchbeck led a Blessing of Animals at the church which saw people of various denominations, and their equally ecumenical pets, share prayers, stories and down-to-earth information. “It came from St Francis of Assisi and his love for God, his love for people, his love for the environment and his love for all of God’s creatures,” Rev Pinchbeck said. Lots of dogs, one brave cat, a goat, a rabbit and a

pony named Patch made up the critter congregation. A representative of a local wildlife service spoke about the need to be aware of wildlife and a veterinarian spoke about the importance of pets in people’s lives, the decisions that have to be made when pets are coming to the end of their lives, and the impact it has. “We said prayers to thank God for the animals and pets we have, and prayed for responsible ownership.” “We wanted to acknowledge the importance of animals and the part they play in people’s lives as companions and the blessing they can be to people,” Rev Pinchbeck said.

Letters No depth, no substance I READ with absolute astonishment the replies by Cindy McLeish to the recent candidates’ questionnaire in Upper Yarra Mail on 30 September. No depth, no substance and, much like the Coalition generally, showed no understanding of any of the issues facing ordinary people in this electorate. Wendy Searle, Yarra Junction.

Education institutions are mandatory GREAT news that Box Hill Institute is setting up courses at the former Ford car lot in Lilydale. But none of us should settle for this as a replacement for our university and TAFE, it should be in addition. A car yard doesn’t replace a campus. Our kids deserve to have the same educational facilities as every other region in Melbourne. Anthony McAleer, Independent Candidate for Evelyn.

Green future AT THE recent Mansfield Farmers’ Market, and in Kinglake this week, I was asked for the Greens position on fracking. These residents of the Eildon electorate believed that when the moratorium on fracking concludes, expected to be end of July 2015, parts of the Eildon electorate could be at risk. To the best of my knowledge the Mansfield district and other areas of the Eildon electorate have not been proposed as sites for fracking. The Greens support a permanent ban on new coal mines, onshore gas and fracking, as part of a fast transition from fossil fuels towards a clean energy future. Marie Sellstrom, Greens Candidate for Eildon.

Cost of cutbacks POLITICIANS think they can win an argument by spruiking figures or passing on blame as Christine Fyffe did in her letter (Support Spending, Mail Opinion, 7 October). The bottom line is - Swinburne TAFE has closed under your government. I have some figures too. My son applied to do a certificate three course at the nearest TAFE to us which is still accepting enrolments. Without government funding he was quoted more than $7000 for the course. The government would not fund his course as he had done an equivalent certificate three when he completed a trade qualification after leaving school 25 years earlier. The TAFE said the high cost was because of “government cutbacks”. Fortunately the rules conveniently changed and my son was given funding to reskill. He chose to attend a private provider closer to home. Many others may not be so lucky and the costs would be prohibitive. Susan Broman, Healesville.

Answer’s not applicable I NOTED with some interest that in the article Meet the Candidates (Mail, 30 September) that the current Liberal member for Seymour (soon to be Eildon), Cindy McLeish, gave an answer 'N/A’ to the question concerning her position on university and TAFE education. It is incredibly disappointing that Ms McLeish did not understand or perhaps appreciate the importance of this answer in regards to this electorate. The in-depth responses from the other candidates in the same article showed that they recognised the level of concern the community has in regards to these issues. K. Desai, Hoddles Creek.

Living the dream By KATH GANNAWAY A HEATHCOTE plane enthusiast is looking for support to start an aircraft museum in the Yarra Ranges. Richard Winterburn has eight aircraft at ‘The Derelict Aircraft Museum’, including a Maachi Jet Trainer used by the Royal Australian Airforce and an ex Fiskville CFA Wessex N7-212 helicopter, along with Rolls Royce Avon and Viper jet engines, among

other aircraft parts. “I’m moving down to the Yarra Valley and would like to find a property and a few volunteers who would be interested in setting up a museum,” he said. Mr Winterburn’s fascination with planes started early and he says The Derelict Aircraft Museum is “living the dream”. “I have for years had a dream of having my own aircraft museum,” he said, adding that when he was

young he would go to airports to watch and photograph the planes. “As I got older I started buying and collecting bits and pieces of aircraft. “Now, I just walk around them and marvel at the technology and the way these planes are made,” he said. Anyone interested in sharing Mr Winterburn’s dream of a Yarra Ranges aircraft museum, can contact him on 9800 5480.

Funding changes cut into services By KATH GANNAWAY

Deputy Opposition Leader James Merlino and Labor candidate for Eildon Sally Brennan look over UYSC with Annette Brabazon and acting principal Patricia Broom. 128781 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY

Opposition considers future funds By KATH GANNAWAY A LABOR government would put Upper Yarra Secondary College back on the radar for future funding if it is elected in November. According to the Liberal government however, the school rated ‘good’ in the most recent assessment and has more facilities than needed for its enrolment. Labor candidate for Eildon Sally Brennan toured the school last week with Deputy Opposition Leader James Merlino and School Council president Annette Brabazon in a bid to garner support to have the school considered for future funding. Ms Brennan said the Upper Yarra community was sidelined when the Coalition government scrapped the Building for the Future program after taking government. The school had been accepted into the Labor program and was about to put together a master plan which would outline improvements needed to develop it as a community hub, bring classrooms up to a

modern teaching and learning standard, and provide modern facilities for allied student support services. “The real issue here for me is that there were such huge cuts made to education when this government came in that resulted in the processes for this school being refurbished and renovated to bring it up to an acceptable standard were put on hold, and we’re now four years behind,” Ms Brennan said. Ms Brabazon said UYSC was a great school whose teaching and learning achievements were achieved in spite of below par facilities. “We feel a bit forgotten up here,” she said. “We have teachers who are doing great things but we need to be spending our funds on supporting the teaching and learning, not on maintenance and working around buildings that are 50 years old and that were not designed for how teaching is delivered in a modern school.” The school currently has more than 500 students from

Woori Yallock to East Warburton. A spokesperson for Education Minister Martin Dixon said that the Liberal government had delivered $1 billon for school infrastructure since coming to office, including 24 new schools and upgrades to hundreds of existing schools, and was balancing the capital and maintenance needs of more than 1500 schools across the state. The Education Department said that Upper Yarra Secondary College receives maintenance funding as part of its annual budget, but with the school registering more facilities than required for the level of enrolments, will not attract additional maintenance funding. It added that 2011-12 Condition Assessment on the school did, however, reveal that while the school overall rated 3.58 out of 5, the Student Centre is below the 3.25 condition threshold at 3.17. Mrs Brabazon said the school had not received any capital funding in the past five years.

WITH the focus on Mental Health Week last week, cuts to mental health support programs in Healesville and Yarra Junction have come under scrutiny. A group of consumers at Rivendell said changes to the funding of programs at Rivendell in Healesville and CAMHA in Yarra Junction in July had resulted staff redundancies and long-established programs being shelved. Eastern Access Community Health (EACH) until recently had 100 per cent of the service provision, and funding, in Yarra Ranges, including at Rivendell and CAMHA. Michael Jansen, general manager Community Mental

Health with EACH confirmed that the organisation lost 50 per cent of its funding across the Eastern Metropolitan Region under a reformed funding model effective as of August with another provider, NEAMI National, picking up contracts in Yarra Ranges, resulting in two providers vieing for the ‘custom’. The justification, according to one former EACH worker, is that the new funding model will give people more choice - that they have their ‘bucket’ of money and do not have to be limited to what one service is able or willing to offer. “It does need to be asked, however, exactly what choices people will have in our local areas that will extend on what

they have lost,” she said. According to consumers who contacted the Mail, the result has been fewer services on the ground, and a push to have people engaged in established programs and groups move out into mainstream clubs or organisations. NEIMI’s Eastern Regional Manager Matthew Colledan said his organisation provides an individually trailored outreach service working both in the home and in the local community. “Each person has control over what that support includes and for some it will mean more one-on-one work and for others it will mean group programstyle activities,” he said.

Melba opening 100 years on By JESSE GRAHAM SOME of the most significant history in the Yarra Valley is now on display at Coldstream’s famous Melba estate, which has been redeveloped and was opened early last month. The recently redeveloped Coombe Melba Estate, which had not opened its doors to the public in over 100 years, finally opened them on Saturday, 6 September and is now a new destination in the valley. Historic buildings that belonged to the world-famous op-

era singer Dame Nellie Melba still stand on the grounds, while a number of buildings have been updated to include a restaurant and cellar door. Melba’s own personal items and collections are available to be viewed in a gallery at the estate, while garden tours through the grounds are available to visitors beginning 27 October. Coombe Cottage Manager, Daniel Johnson, said that Melba’s family - which still owns the estate - were hoping the redevelopment would assist her legacy to live on.

“I’m hoping this is not just for the history buffs - what’d be really lovely would be that all demographics could come, learn, and find this really important,” he said. “Melba was the most famous woman on the planet at the turn of the last century - that’s a fantastic achievement for her and for Australia.” The Melba Estate is open from Thursday to Monday.

Missing Anzac link

Rainfall shortfall

By JESSE GRAHAM

AUGUST and September have been less than promising with rainfall not living up to expectations. Keith Thomas recorded only 49.5mm against the average of 135.7mm. “We have to look back to 1982 to find a lower figure and, in fact, it was the third lowest since records were first kept in 1878,” Keith commented. The annual figure to the end of August was 786.55, behind the average of 830mm. September followed on with 163mm against the average of 142.7 and year-to- date figures of 922.5mm against 972.7mm. In Hoddles Creek, Doug Armstrong recorded 89mm for August 2014, again well below last year’s 170mm and the August average of 125mm. His year-to- date figures were 764mm compared to 780mm last year. September’s figures were 84mm over 13 days compared to 132mm last year over 15 days. The year-to-date figures were 858mm to 922mm. Alma Mitchell in Healesville recorded 69.7mm over 23 days compared with 88.3mm over the same number of days in August last year. In September, Alma recorded 92.2mm over 17 days compared to 74.6mm over 15 days. The good news, despite a two-month precipitation shortfall, is that as at the end of September Melbourne’s storage dams are still at over 80 per cent capacity.

HISTORIANS are searching for photographs of a Healesville man who fought in Gallipoli, for a special Anzac centenary walk being constructed in Emerald. Emerald RSL is calling out for photographs of James Adolphus Edgcumbe - a former Healesvillian who fought in the first landings at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. The photographs, if found, will be used as part of the RSL’s Anzac Walk, which is being constructed to honour soldiers from the area who died in World War I. Plaques with information, along with photographs of the soldiers will be used along the walk, but RSL member, Frank McGuire, said that no photos had been found of Mr Edgcumbe. Mr McGuire said that, as neither Mr Edgcumbe nor his four siblings had children, he was hoping families of former schoolmates in Healesville may have historic photos to be used. Mr Edgcumbe, who was born on 19 March 1891, attended Healesville Primary School and then Healesville College, where he was named Dux in 1905. That year, his family moved to Emerald, where they established a guest house, called Gheringadah. Mr Edgcumbe’s father and mother, Adolphus and Elizabeth, were well known in Healesville for building Edgecumbe’s Hotel - now the Grand Hotel in 1887. At the age of 23, in 1914 Mr Edgcumbe enlisted in the army, before fighting in the first landings in Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. He was wounded on his way to the shore, however, and was never seen again - a Court of Inquiry ruled

YARRA RANGES

Building a safer Victoria in bushfire areas The Victorian Government is actively implementing a range of powerline safety measures as part of its commitment to fully implement all 67 recommendations made by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. The Powerline Bushfire Safety Program is a $750 million 10-year program responsible for reducing the risk of Victorian powerlines causing bushfires. Major works being delivered to safeguard the Yarra Ranges community before the upcoming fire season include: > 33 privately owned bare-wire powerlines replaced with safer underground cabling,

equating to 9.3km of safer powerlines in your community. > 12km of high-voltage bare-wire powerlines replaced with safer powerlines, with 6 additional

major projects approved to replace a further 13km of bare-wire powerlines in 2015. > 11 residential care facilities provided with back-up generators, supporting the critical

power needs of 676 vulnerable local residents during times of extreme weather events. These works are giving Victoria the most bushfire safe power network in the country.

Flappin’ to the oldies

Kimba Griffith performed to the crowd at the 1920s Ball on Saturday. 128844 Pictures: LIZ CLARKSON

By JESSE GRAHAM THERE were flapper dresses, suspenders, and people dressed to the nines last Saturday night, when a 1920s ball was held at the Memo Hall. Around 100 residents, local identities and politicians amassed at the hall on Saturday 11 October, dressed in period costumes and ready to dance. The Kimba Griffith Quintet played music from the 1920s through to the 1960s for ballgoers on the night, and the dance floor filled with people doing the twist and the Charleston. During the band’s breaks, Angel Dudek dazzled the crowd with a multi-hula hoop performance, followed by a cabaret piece and finished off with a sword-swallowing demonstration. Event organiser, Deanne Eccles, said that the decorations, the performances and the costumes were all top quality. “What I loved was that, predominantly, people were dancing - there was always something happening,” Ms Eccles said. “The effort that people went through to dress up really added to the elegance of the night, as well as people stepping outside of their usual lives, to possibly become somebody else or just to forget about the every day.” The event was hosted by Yarra Valley Regional Tourism Association, and Ms Eccles said she would like to see the event return in the future.

Big issues for election: ‘education and drugs’ THE Victorian State Election is less than seven weeks away, and eager candidates are ramping up campaigning as 29 November draws closer. The Mail sent out questionnaires to each of the candidates for the Eildon electorate, which were published on 30 September. The Australian Country Alliance contacted the Mail shortly afterwards to announce its candidacy, and completed the same questionnaire as the other candidates. To see other candidates’ responses to the questions below, visit mountainviews.starcommunity.com.au/epaper/. Jeffery Leake, Australian Country Alliance 1. What is your history in the community? I have, personally, lived in the Yarra Valley at Woori Yallock for over 16 years and am a small business owner. 2. What is your stance on public transport? A reliable Victorian rail network, including the expansion of, and protection of, rural rail assets and passenger services. Also, a complete review of rural bus services with improvements to be made where required. 3. Healthcare, including mental health services?

Equality of access to healthcare, with policies targeted at attracting medical practitioners and staff to regional areas. Everybody should have access to the same level of health services. Yet some communities have more than they need and others struggle. Areas near ski fields fare well while those further away do not. More needs to be done to attract medical professionals to rural communities. We would support any initiative that is aimed at addressing this disparity. An overhaul of Victoria’s failing mental health services. The importance of mental health services wasn’t recognised until over the last 20 or 30 years. We know it is an issue and it is vital to address this in urban and regional areas especially for those struggling through tough economic times. 4. The timber industry and the Great Forest National Park campaign? Maintain, and where possible restore, a sustainable timber industry based on best practice and including commercial thinning in catchment areas. This will benefit rural economies, provide employment opportunities and assist in the reduction of bushfire risk. Those who chain themselves to log-

Jeffery Leake. ging trucks are doing several things. Firstly, they are ignoring that the timber industry is sustainable. Secondly they ignore using timber means locking away carbon. Thirdly they ignore the fact that thinning in water catchments means a reduced risk of fire activity in the area which can have a significant adverse impact on the communities which depend on those water resources. They ignore the many families, businesses and communities that can’t survive without logging. They also ignore the fact that what they are doing is illegal and destructive. The expense to people and businesses engaged in logging of security and repairs to equipment is not inconsequential by any means and it’s time for the law to step in, if necessary, and protect

these workers from irresponsible and illegal actions. We will do everything we can to support and grow the timber industry. 5. Education, including university and TAFE? Ensure that education is classed as an “essential service” in all budget and policy considerations. Governments say they support centres of excellence and growing a smarter Australia yet the education sector, especially TAFE services, have undergone cut after cut in recent years. Budget decisions do need to be made. However, the status of service afforded by governments is confusing. ACA would clarify this by ensuring that education is classified as an essential service in all budget and policy considerations. This means the importance of education would be given the same treatment as decisions relating to our police, fire and ambulance services. Education is not about enabling our governments grab headlines. It is about our families and the future of our local communities. Improved access to affordable education in regional communities. Education is a key to each and every local community yet this is not reflected in current government allocations.

It is the government’s job to ensure affordable access to education. The expansion of training and education facilities in regional areas, with a focus on subjects of relevance to the needs of local business, community and students. 6. Employment? Employment, and increasing employment, is a direct product of education, support for business and training for our young people. I believe that by stimulating these three areas employment will increase and will behave as a catalyst to further employment. 7. What issues do you think will be the most important for the Eildon electorate? Two of the biggest issues in the Eildon electorate, and others, are education and drugs. Educational opportunities are decreasing with the closure of Swinburne and other venues, and for the people of Eildon these are the central hubs for sourcing education and therefore improvement of their lives. Drugs are already a major problem in rural Victoria and much more has to be achieved in this respect. For too long, we have been far too lenient with the producers and pushers of these drugs on our young and it’s time for a stand.

State snub over budget shortfall By JESSE GRAHAM MURRINDINDI Shire Council is bent on resolving a $1.76 million budget shortfall due to costly new buildings, and is calling on residents and political candidates to help work out a solution. The council recently announced that, due to the cost of insuring and maintaining assets gifted after the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, it was left with an annual $1.76 million shortfall in its yearly budget. Murrindindi CEO, Margaret Abbey, told the Mail that the shortfall followed the council receiving $31 million in gifted infrastructure in 2011, which was built as part of the reconstruction of Marysville, Kinglake and Narbethong, and was expected annually for 10 years. She said the gifted assets were a display of the wider community and government’s generosity, but added that the council was left short, due to the high costs of maintaining new buildings. “We know we will benefit from them (the buildings) and it’s important for the community recovery process to have them, but they’re often built at a higher standard than what a small rural council can afford,” she said. Ms Abbey said the council had been collecting opinions from residents about how to

Murrindindi Shire Council CEO, Margaret Abbey, said the council was looking for help to fill an annual funding Picture: LIZ CLARKSON shortfall. 128775 solve the problem, with sale of assets, raising rates or reviewing services and expenditure on the table. The public submission period closed on 7 October, though the council is still accepting late submissions. “We’ve had over 150 comments in one way or the other, through letters to the local paper, on our Facebook page and contact with council,” she said. “Whilst that’s a small proportion in terms of our total population, we’re very pleased by the feedback we’ve received.” Ms Abbey said the council had asked the State Government to lend a hand, and possibly provide a one-off lump

sum payment of $14 million which, with interest, would fill the shortfall - but was knocked back. “In June this year, the Minister for Local Government indicated that council would not be receiving any further assistance, but rather we would be able to apply for grants if the possibility came up,” she said. Minister for Local Government, Tim Bull, said the council was aware in 2011 that it would take all responsibility for the costs of the gifted assets. “We will not be providing lump sum up-front payments to any council for future maintenance or renewal of what are practically new state-of-the-art facilities,” Mr Bull said.

MORE than 2000 people attended Warburton’s winery walkabout under the warm sunshine at this year’s Shedfest Wine Festival on the weekend.

This year welcomed a new addition to the festival with Yarra Peaks in Hoddles Creek first involvement. Ticket prices for the annual event were increased this year, but owner and winemaker at Seville Hill, John D’aloisio said that didn’t deter people. “There were a lot of families and children out in the warm weather and we were really happy with the turn out,” Mr D’aloisio said.

Windy Hanecom, Nikki Pregnalato, Caroline Wairimo and Trish Hanecom dancing at Yarra Peaks. 128883 fered a weekend of live music, food, entertainment, and world-class wine. “We had games for the kids on the lawn, free coffee for designated drivers as well as our support for local CFAs with funds raised from the souvenir glasses going to the Hillcrest CFA,” Mr D’aloisio said. The Shedfest’s support of local CFA’s over the past seven years has resulted in over $30,000 raised. The weekend

event started at just five dollars a ticket and has grown tremendously over the past decade. Seville Hill released new and old brews with the most popular on the day the 2011 sparkling merlot and chardonnay traditional method, to complement the warm weather, Mr D’aloisio said. The relaxing weekend is sure to go ahead next year, bigger and better than ever.

Lounge on the way By JESSE GRAHAM

Black Bug City was part of a great entertainment program. Picture: KATH GANNAWAY

Green fair springs up By KATH GANNAWAY

Eliza Owen and Rhyannon Dixon are helping to make The Lounge a reality at the Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Salvation Army Hall in Healesville. 128403 “I thought ‘what if we open our space and said you guys get to come and hang out here when you want?’ and the idea for the Lounge was born.” Since then, Ms Eldridge said the youth work students at the Salvos had been taking the initiative to re-paint the entirety of the hall and re-decorate to make the dream into a reality. With a pool table, video games consoles, a television, couches and more, the aim is to have the Lounge looking like a lounge room or a family room, where teenagers can hang out with friends over the holidays and on some weekends. Youth workers and Healesville residents Eliza Owen and

Rhyannon Dixon are spearheading the redevelopment, and said that, once opened, the Lounge would be a safe haven for teenagers who end up bored after school hours. “Our plan is to open somewhere where they feel safe, comfortable and relaxed,” Ms Owen said. “It’s a place for them to hang out that’s safer than down the street. “They’ll also have myself, Rhyannon and Sarah as qualified youth workers.” Ms Eldridge said the space would be a reassurance for parents, who can know their children will be in a safe and supervised place with friends.

“We’ll have trained youth workers available, if there’s any issues people want to chat through,” she said. “But it’s not about fixing problems, it’s about having an area that is theirs and that they’re able to meet with their friends and spend time with them.” The works at the hall are expected to be completed in December, with the Lounge area opening for teenagers through the school holidays and fortnightly on weekends.

WHEN the Salvos announced it would be ending its weekly church service, the reactions of some were negative. But, with the final stages of the organisation’s redevelopment about to take place, the iconic Salvation Army Hall is getting a facelift and could become a priceless asset for Healesville teenagers. The Lounge is a working title for the new layout of the hall, which is currently being redeveloped and refurbished by a passionate team of Salvos staff. The idea, according to Salvation Army Minister, Sarah Eldridge, is to turn the hall into a safe place for teenagers to just hang out with friends and relax. She said the idea came earlier in the year, when the organisation announced it would no longer be offering weekly church services. The announcement, which was said to affect around 10 people, was met with anger by some residents, who wrote to the Mail to express their disappointment. But Ms Eldridge said the change was the first step in an overall restructure of what the Salvos were doing in Healesville. The second step, she said, was finding out what should be done next. “We thought ‘well, there’s not a lot in our town for young people’,” she said.

THE first festival back on home territory was an exciting reintroduction of Yarra Valley ECOSS to the wider community. The ECOSS Spring Fair on Sunday 5 October drew lots of people, many familiar with the project which promotes sustainable living, and many others who were visiting the ECOSS property for the first time. A section of the ECOSS ‘farm’ on Old Warburton Road in Wesburn was closed in 2012 after asbestos was found on the site, limiting outside participation for the past couple of years. Co-ordinator Chelsea McNab said the festival was a great success. “It is our first festival back after remediation of the site and it was fantastic ... everything we had hoped it would be,” she said. A perfect spring day with lots of activities promoting sustainability, great food, interesting market stalls, music, farm tours, sales of ECOSS-grown vegetable seedlings and native plants and the inspired

scarecrow competition - won by eight-year-old Seneka White-Ryder from Gladysdale. Cinnamon Evans, CEO of Ceres Community Environment Park in Collingwood gave a talk on the economic aspects of social enterprise projects and there were environmental workshops and displays by community groups. Ms McNab said the festival was a valuable opportunity to engage with the community. “A lot of people didn’t realise they could become members and become more involved with things such as the community garden,” she said. She said ECOSS was also looking for volunteers who were interested in horticulture to help in the nursery and take the opportunity to learn new skills. Ms McNab said more events were planned on site for ECOSS next year, but in the meantime, plans were underway for ECOTOPIA on 22 March in Yarra Junction. For more information on ECOSS visit www.ecoss.org.au.

Blokey Encoded will leave you spellbound Dennis By KATH GANNAWAY

ACTOR John Derum will revisit his one man show ‘More Than A Sentimental Bloke’ as part of the seventh Toolangi C. J. Dennis Poetry Festival later this month. Derum has had a long and distinguished career in theatre, radio and television and has become identified to some extent with his interpretation of the work of Australian writers, with a particular body of work paying tribute to Dennis. The two-day festival will start with the poetry competition awards ceremony at 2pm on Saturday 18 October, followed by an ‘open mic’ session and other entertainment. Derum will perform ‘The Singing Garden’ from around 4.30pm and ‘More Than A Sentimental Bloke’ as part of the evening entertainment, staying on to enjoy the Sunday events. Sunday starts with the Poets’ Breakfast, guided tours of the gardens by Dennis and his fellow poets, Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson and a ballet performance by local students. A physical resemblance to the man many regard as the quintessential Australian poet, introduced Derum to the world of C. J. Dennis. Following a television show to mark the centenary of Dennis’ birth in 1976, Derum said the director handed over six boxes of research material with the suggestion “ ... you should do something on this”. “It took a while to develop “More Than a Sentimental Bloke’ which reflected what I had discovered - that there was a lot more to both the man and the material he wrote than The Sentimental Bloke,” Derum said. He is looking forward to the festival when he will also perform “The Singing Garden” based on Dennis’ last book where he drew on the birds that regularly visited his Toolangi gardens. Derum said Dennis’ observations of the birds and things he saw around his home were often funny, and entertaining. “I have done this show in a number of other gardens and I ‘m really looking forward to bringing that material home in that garden where he actually sat and wrote it,” he said. The festival is presented by the C. J. Dennis Society on the weekend of 18 and 19 October. For further information visit www. thecjdennissociety.com.

THE 2014 live entertainment program at The Memo in Healesville will finish on a high with Encoded on Saturday 18 October. In a visually stunning performance, aerial dance company Encoded uses the latest interactive technologies to build a projected digital environment that responds to the movements of the performers. Yarra Ranges Council’s Regional Arts co-ordinator, Jenny Davies, said audiences will see The Memo performance space at its best with Encoded, a performance that creates a ravishing immersive world of shimmering images that dissolve and reform as the performers sweep across the space. Encoded explores how digitised space alters perceptions of physical space, and how digital media change relationship to the body. The performance utilises interactive 3D image and audio technologies to dynamically revision public

spaces in real time through synthesising live performance, immersive interactive image projection and audio scapes. It’s a mesmerising, exciting show that will leave audiences spellbound as the boundaries between physical and digital space are blurred. Tickets are $34. To book visit www.culturetracks.info or phone 1300 368 333. The Mail and Yarra Ranges Arts and Culture have double passes to Encoded for two lucky readers . To be in the running to win go to the Mail Newspaper Group Facebook page, find the related post and share, comment and like it. Winners will be drawn at random and announced on Thursday 16 October.

Carey will take to the stage on Saturday 8 November at the winery, with doors opening at 4pm before her headline performance at 8.10pm. The show comes off the back of her new album, Me. I am Mariah ... The Elusive Chanteuse, and marks the performer’s first national Australian tour since 1998. Carey said that audiences could expect a mix of her biggest hits and fan-favourites, never-before-performed songs from the new album and, perhaps, a surprise or two. “I want to experience the spontaneity and emotion that I put into this album on stage with my fans,” she said. “I can’t stop writing songs, so don’t be surprised if you hear a brand new song that I just wrote the night before the show in your city!” Carey is world-renowned for her number one hits, We Belong Together, Fantasy, Hero and more, and has sold over 220 million albums world-

Go girl! It’s outstanding Starring: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Tyler Perry, Carrie Coon GONE Girl is another outstanding film from Fight Club director David Fincher, a modern master of intelligent thrillers. When Nick Dunne’s (Ben Affleck) wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) vanishes one day, Nick is implicated in her disappearance by suspicious police and the sensationalist media. Gone Girl is a slow-burning but enthralling experience with darkly comic moments, and its narrative constantly

drives views to question Nick’s trustworthiness, the facts of his and Amy’s life and who’s exploiting whom. This film powerfully illustrates how secrets and bottledup resentment can destroy a marriage, but also delves deep into the compromises needed for marriage. It even depicts how some partners stay together because they’ve found a comfortable routine in hating each other. The performances are exceptional. Stoic yet vulnerable, Affleck puts to rest any doubt of his skills, but special praise goes to Pike in a career-defining turn.

As Amy, Pike superbly balances affection, unfulfilled melancholy and a disquieting cunning beneath. She deserves a nomination at next year’s Oscars. Tyler Perry is also pretty awesome as Nick’s haughty, theatrical lawyer. At first, the mind-blowing twist seems too early, but as it develops, it further intensifies the suspense and intrigue of Nick’s ordeal, and opens further opportunities for Pike to flourish. The most subversively brilliant work to come out of Hollywood in years, Gone Girl is practically a perfect film. - SETH HYNES

Baker y lights eight candles By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM WHETHER you’re a local or just passing through Healesville, you’ll never be disappointed with a trip to the Beechworth Bakery. The bakery has a long and proud history of serving high quality baked goods as well as supporting the local community. Originally established in Beechworth, the Healesville bakery is one of six that are located in Victorian towns. Now a Healesville icon, the bakery combines old-fashioned service with modern facilities. Manager Kylie Bray says that customers are drawn to the personal touch provided by the employees. “We offer great customer service and enthusiastic and friendly staff to cater to our customers’ needs.” Open seven days a week from 6am6pm, the bakery is in the perfect location on the Maroondah Highway in Healesville. It caters to groups of all sizes and offers a huge carpark, capable of holding anything from motorbikes to caravans. While sitting outside, visitors to the bakery can enjoy great views of the mountains from the relaxing outdoor setting. The grassed area allows visitors to take in the beautiful park bridge as well as making for easy access to the park. Inside, the bakery has a friendly and relaxing vibe. It boasts an open seating plan, plenty of tables, a play area for kids and couches for the travel weary.

Kylie says that the bakery sells a great range of products, including the classics that have made it so renowned in the area. “We sell various pies, our famous beestings and vanilla slice. We also have an established range of glutenfree products. “We have something for all ages. For the kids, we have zoomers and shortbread biscuits.” The bakery offers all-day breakfast, lunch, early dinner, vegetarian delights and catering for groups of all sizes. Perhaps it is the homemade touch that makes the pies so good, with pies proudly made by Beechworth Bakery employees. Among its many specialties is the Beesting - a sweet bun lightly spread with apricot jam, filled with the creamiest custard and topped with toffee almonds. It has proved a musttry for the many visitors to the region, who have flagged the bakery as a good stopping point as they make their way to Eildon or the alpine area, or as they tour wine regions. The Healesville Beechworth Bakery is celebrating it’s eighth birthday this week with a range of specials for its customers. All week, customers will be able to purchase a second Beechworth regular steak pie for only 10 cents as well as buy-one-get-onefree bottomless coffee.

Oscar’s has the lot, in fine style OSCAR’S on the Yarra offers stylish country comfort for dining, accommodation and functions. The property has been a part of the tourism and hospitality scene since the late 1920s. The venue has evolved over the years, without losing its country charm, as different entities such as Warburton Waters and Yarra Grange with most locals aware of its location next to the Tommy Fin Trout Farm. Inspired by the glamour of a bygone era, Oscar’s very unique boutique hotel has been lovingly transformed by talented interior designer Jack Fugaro. Oscar’s on the Yarra is the only venue in the region that has river frontage on 21 acres, which lends itself to many weddings by the Yarra River. Diners in the restaurant or from the fabulous deck overlook the river views and the 100-year-old oak tree. This is a hidden secret and people are still discovering all they have to offer. Oscar’s is a tranquil boutique hotel and has recently taken on the Best Western brand for their accommodation. This has increased occupancy and offered affordable accommodation to travellers and visiting friends and relatives with overnight stays including a scrumptious, fully cooked breakfast.

General manager Monica Dixon said there was so much to do - river walks, the Warburton to Lilydale Rail Trail at the end of the driveway, La La Falls, golf, canoeing, wineries, village shops and guests can even bring a fishing rod to try their luck at catching the elusive brown trout. The website is full of great information and it’s worth checking their specials page to see what fantastic deals they have each month. Oscar’s is the perfect venue for small or large destination weddings and conferences. With 22 rooms and a twobedroom apartment, events can be packaged with accommodation and dining. If it’s privacy and focus you require, exclusive use of the venue can be arranged but is subject to availability. There are two large function rooms and a meeting room for conference or wedding bookings. In addition to the superb conference facilities, the outdoor team-building facilities include a high ropes course and a series of outdoor team building exercises. So there are many reasons to visit, stop by for lunch or dinner, treat yourself to an overnight stay and plan your next celebration at Oscar’s on the Yarra. 1158705-PB42-14

State nod won FROM the local courts to state competition, Healesville’s Chenile Chandler is shaping up to be some sporting talent. The 16-year-old won three best and fairest netball awards this year and was selected to play in the Victorian regional state titles. The athletic teenager received the awards from the Healesville and Lilydale netball clubs, where she played in BGrade and Under 17s respectively, as well as the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League Chenile’s YVMDFNL award was for the B-Grade competition. Mum Jodie said she was very proud of her daughter. “She won it out of 10 sides and two divisions,” Ms Chandler said. Chenile has been on the court since she was nine years old.These days she splits her time between the Lilydale and Healesville netball clubs and the athletics field. “She loves it, she was actually picked up for the Dandenong

Chenile Chandler is making her mark on the netball scene. 128783 Valley State team for the recent state titles,” Ms Chandler said. This is the second time Chenile has qualified for the state team. She played for the under 15s last year and now makes her debut with the under 17s. Chenile’s Lilydale and Healesville teams both missed out on finals

this year. She has played for the Lilydale Netball Club since she first hit the court. Ms Chandler said Chenile marked her fifth year with the club this year, receiving a medallion to mark the date. Chenile’s family is very supportive of its sporting star. Ms Chandler said older brother Jake, 21, found her netball games often clashed with his football matches. “He’s very proud of her, he tries to watch her as much as he can,” Ms Chandler said. Chenile’s plans for netball extend beyond the next few years. Ms Chandler said she hoped one day to play for The Vixens. “That’s her dream, her goal,” Ms Chandler said. Chenile played in the Victorian Regional State Titles on Saturday 4 October and Sunday 5 October. The competition provides the opportunity for the best netball players in the Dandenong, Yarra Valley region to play against 23 other regions from throughout Victoria.

Records tumble on track By JAMIE STRUDLEY WEEK Two of Yarra Ranges Athletics summer season was again blessed with perfect weather that enhanced the smiles on faces young and old, having a positive effect on the athletes and their performances. First up in the morning was the javelin for the under 11s to under 16s with the under 11s having their first competition in this event. It’s fair to say all the boys and girls handled the event with ease and all said they looked forward to trying for a PB next week. The next event was the 1500m which is a tough run generally, but not for Georgia Laven as she owned the race to record a centre record that has stood for 30 years. Australian champion, Lateisha Willis, broke two centre records, the 200m and 90m hurdles which dated back to 1985, while Kiara Flavel, whose parents are both Olympic medallists in their own right,

smashed a 1987 high jump U9 girl’s record by 8cm. Other events for the morning were jumps, discus, shot put, high jump and javelin coaching for the Under 9s who did a fantastic job and mastered the basics. A big mention also to the on-track under 6 boys and girls who have so much fun learning all the basics and playing lots of fun games. Again numbers were large and the day ran smoothly due to the terrific volunteers of the club. To the new families, by now you have settled in and the club welcomes you, hope you are enjoying the great facilities and your time as a Yarra Ranges athlete. Yarra Ranges Athletics had a number of athletes competing in the Primary Schools Divisions held at Nunawading last Thursday and the day produced a high number of good results that will see the athletes back at Nunawading this coming Thursday for the Eastern Region Titles, a top two finish here

will send them to the State finals. Congratulations also to the many club athletes who competed at the Region Secondary School Championships and to those that qualified for State Championships next Friday. The first round of Athletics Victoria shield competition was held on Saturday afternoon. Excellen conditions welcomed a big team from Yarra Ranges Athletics. Results are not yet available but the smiles and chat throughout the day suggest everyone had a great time. See you for round 2 at Ringwood on Sunday 19 October. Results will be on the website shortly. All club athletes have access to top coaching from our caring and committed and highly qualified coaches who are making a big impact on the athletes already working with them. If you and your child would like to be part of the club, contact us by going to our website at www.yarrarangesathletics.org. au.

Chelsea Thompson competes in the hurdles.

Sides evenly poised in great, sunny conditions nings off at 105. In the final game of the round, Seville hosted Hoddles Creek in a change from normal proceeding with the defending premiers entering the game after a loss, while perennial strugglers Hoddles Creek won their opening encounter. Hoddles Creek were up first with the bat, and in typical fashion, doggedly compiled a competitive score of 9/132. Experienced pair Mick Batten (53) and Warwick Weir (24) added beef to the total, but like most teams across the first two rounds, they would’ve been kicking themselves as they were unable to capitalise on starts and build a significant total. Dean Troyhan (3/25) and Matt Tilney (3/30) again proved that Seville’s bowling line up will be tough to score against this season. Seville really needed the chase to be a successful one, as two losses on the trot is unfamiliar territory for the Blues. Regular wickets at the top saw the Blue falter as the talented Brenton Derix (2/17) applied the early pressure. Tim Dwyer played a lone hand at the top with a solid 33, but he really needed to kick on to take the home side to safety. Hoddles Creek continued to threaten, however their total was never going to be quite enough as Ryan Akers continues his reputation as being ‘The Closer’ with his well compiled 23 not out leading his team to a relatively comfortable victory in the closing stages by four wickets. So now action in the Strachan Shield heads to two day cricket, and the crucial battle between bat and ball will be paramount as wins become more important as the weeks go on. One would suggest after the opening one dayers, that victory will come to those teams who can show some improved mettle with the bat, as the bowlers have controlled proceedings so far. Mount Evelyn host Woori Yallock where a big score will be needed to win on the fast outfield of Mount Evelyn Recreation Reserve, Healesville travel to Yarra Junction and can ill-afford to lose three in a row, while Warburton-Millgrove host Hoddles Creek in what should be an intriguing contest between two sides who will enjoy the challenge of two-day cricket with consistent and patient batting and bowling line ups.

HEALESVILLE NETBALL ASSOCIATION A.G.M. 1158732-LB42-14

Yarra Valley Cricket Association THE evenness of the DJ Strachan Shield competition has already emerged as after two rounds, six of the seven teams sit on one win. All three top grade games had their ebbs and flows in round two, as all teams had their opportunities to clinch victory. Magnificent cricketing conditions greeted all cricketers across the valley as all grades in the association kicked off in earnest. Woori Yallock began their season with a close victory over Warburton-Millgrove by eight runs after sitting out with the bye in round one. The Tigers opened the game with the bat, and it was Michael Dwyer (34) and Greg Selby (30) who showed the benefit of good hit outs in the RA Finger Trophy last week. The Tigers looked a little rusty as they compiled a competitive 8/134, but would’ve felt they should’ve pushed the score beyond 150. Former Eagle spinner Daniel Lever showed he is going to add some valuable depth to the Burras bowling line-up with figures of 4/29, backing up the ever-reliable Mick Walker (2/43). The visitors faced a similar chase to that in round one where they timed their chase perfectly against Seville. Again the Burras made a fair fist of the chase, however on this occasion, each time a batsman looked set to lead the team to victory he found himself in the pavilion. Ben Lever contributed a handy 27, while Mick Walker added another 37 to his round one half century, but both would be bitterly disappointed with themselves for not kicking on and leading their side to a valuable win. In the end, crucial wickets to Simon Young (3/29) and Ben Hayes (2/28) saw the Tigers eek out the final wicket with WarburtonMillgrove eight runs short. Healesville hosted Mount Evelyn in a key clash after both teams faltered in round one. Mount Evelyn won the toss and elected to bat in fine conditions, and openers Dan Fraser and Chris Anderson steadily built a foundation. Healesville were tight with their approach, and despite not taking early wickets, they kept the scoring contained. After 15 overs, the partnership broke, and as is the case so often, the pair departed in quick succession. Unfortunately for the Bloods, this brought Kane Jones to the wicket in a belligerent mood. He quickly put the Bloods on the back foot with a lusty 43 and looked as if he could push the score to that of hefty proportions. That wasn’t to be as an excellent bowling partnership between Dylan Moore (5/26) and Chance Burridge (4/30) strangled the life out of the Rovers’ innings as impatient batting saw things wound up in the 35th over with the score on 134. After an early wicket, Healesville steadied in a similar vain to Mount Evelyn courtesy of Scott Hamer and Dermott Fry. Stung by a lacklustre performance with the ball in round one, the Rovers bowlers found their collective mojo and really turned the screws on the home side with regular wickets, and at 6/57 the game looked done. An excellent rearguard action from captain Ash Hamer (52) saw things tighten on the bowling front as he was well supported by the energetic Soupy Campbell as the pair’s initiative threatened to take the game away from the tiring fielders. Clutch wickets to Chad Witherdin (4/23) and Kane Jones (3/27) eased the nerves as the last few wickets fell in quick succession to round the in-
