■ Two sheep die after being stung by the insect found in plague proportions...

Killer wasps By KATH GANNAWAY SEEING two sheep die after being stung by wasps has been a horrible experience for Don Valley resident Rick Houlihan. “The wasps are attracted to the saliva around their mouths and they snap at them, the same as they do for flies,” said Mr Houlihan who, along with his neighbour, has killed 15 nests on their properties in the last two weeks. The problem for sheep, and potentially for other animals, is that the wasps, which are in plague proportions all around Yarra Ranges, keep stinging if they are swallowed and can cause swelling that blocks the airways. It’s distressing, and Mr Houlihan doesn’t have to imagine the pain. He was stung 20 times last week when he disturbed a nest and says the initial pain is excruciating, and three days later the area stung was still red and itching like crazy. “It’s a horrible feeling,” he said, explaining how his leg disappeared down to the kneecap. He was fortunate that the nest was one he had killed off, but the disturbance raised alarm bells with wasps in a nest nearby who responded to the threat by attacking. Mr Houlihan believes his situation may have been even worse if he hadn’t had a can of wasp spray with him which he used to kill off the attacking wasps as he ran the 300 metres to his house. Mr Houlihan’s view that climatic conditions have been ideal this year for wasps to breed up is supported by Yarra Ranges Council which told the Mail it is reportedly the worst wasp season in 20 years. Director, Environment and Engineeering, Mark Varmalis, said the

Rick Houlihan inspects the bank of the Yarra River on his Don Valley property in search of European wasp nests. 136526 council had received 324 requests to remove nests over February and March, and that 312 nests had been destroyed as a result. “Mild winter and summer weather conditions have caused an increase in wasps. This is a state-wide issue with many areas impacted,” he said. While council has responsibility for nests on council-owned land, Mr Vermalis said nests on private property were the responsibility of the land owner.

He recommended that anyone who finds a nest contacts a pest control expert to assist with destroying it. “If you are aware of a European wasp nest on your neighbour’s property, we encourage you to talk to your neighbour about taking action to destroy the nest,” he said. “If you are unable to resolve the issue with your neighbour, you can report it to our Health Department, who will inspect the site and advise the land owner to destroy the nest.”

Mr Houlihan warned against leaving food outside for pets. “They are attracted to any sort of moisture, if you leave a bone out for the dog, even the moisture from cut grass will attract them,” he said. He urged anyone with a nest to on their own property, or a neighbours, to take action to eradicate them before next season. “The problem is that we don’t have a deliberate eradication program, and the queens will be back to create more

nests next season,” he said. Museum Victoria records show that the European wasp first came to mainland Victoria in the late 1970s. The bad news is that is has spread to most other states and, they say, it is here to stay. “Eradication is no longer an option,” they say on their website. The good news! “Despite early reports labelling it as a “Killer Wasp”, no human deaths have been recorded in Australia.

Warburton tunes in to NBN WARBURTON is set to receive the National Broadband Network, with NBN Co announcing a new rollout plan for the next 286,000 homes and businesses, according to Yarra Ranges Shire. Council has been advocating since 2011 for Yarra Ranges’ suburbs to be included in the NBN trial. Up to 2000 homes in Warburton

will receive the NBN as part of the latest rollout plan. Council is hopeful its success in securing the NBN for Warburton will increase its likelihood of receiving funding for the Federal Government’s mobile phone black spot program. Access to the NBN is one of the grant assessment criteria.

Last year council made a joint submission with residents from East Warburton and Steels Creek, with the support of Casey federal MP Tony Smith for a new $100 million Mobile Coverage Program. Reducing mobile phone black spots is a top priority for council. There are significant safety issues particularly around emergency man-

agement where residents need mobile phone coverage to send and receive text messages, access the Fire Ready App and make phone calls. Council will know later in the year if it is successful in its submission and will keep the community informed of the outcome. Securing the NBN for Warburton makes council’s case for the mobile

phone black spot program stronger. The expansion of the NBN rollout reflects NBN Co’s new, flexible multitechnology approach and is a step forward in reaching its goal of eight million connections by 2020. You can register expressions of interest to receive the NBN by calling 1800 687 626.

Eyesore lasts nine long months By KATH GANNAWAY THE Department of Environment, Land and Water Protection (DELWP) moved quickly to clear away rubbish from Crown Land at Wesburn after a complaint from a local resident. For the resident, who initially reported the rubbish to DEPI (now DELWP) in June last year, nine months is way too long. The resident, who asked not to be identified for fear of repercussions, told the Mail last week there were letters and other documents in the rubbish when she initially reported it that identified where the rubbish had come from. She said it was the second time rubbish with items bearing the same address had been dumped in the area - the first time on the roadside on Old Warburton Road, not far from Crusher Track where the second lot, made up mainly of household rubbish bags, was dumped. DELWP acknowledged that the issue was poorly handled. “We acknowledge that it was left there for too long, and we have put processes in place to make sure that these things are dealt with more quickly,” DELWP Yarra District manager Nigel Brennan told the Mail on Friday. He said the rubbish had been picked up that morning in response to a phone call from a community member and investigations into who dumped it had been put in the hands of their compliance support group for closer consideration. “We can certainly understand the frustration of the resident,” Mr Brennan said. “There were letters there that indicated the identity of certain people, but that in itself is not always sufficient evidence to prove that those people were responsible for dumping the rubbish,” he said. He said inquiries had been made from DELWP’s Powelltown office starting with a letter to the household identified in the rubbish demanding that they show cause as to why the rubbish may or may not have come from their property. “There were several people (living at the address) and uncertainty as to who was responsible.” He said that the Powelltown office dealt with on average about 30 instances of dumped rubbish, ranging from domestic to industrial rubbish, which has in the past included asbestos.

Life and times of a war hero By KATH GANNAWAY

Rubbish at the start of Crusher Track has greeted track users since June Picture: KATH GANNAWAY last year. 136481. Mr Brennan added that there were significant fines applicable to dumping rubbish, but noted that in the last five instances where there were identifying items found, and attempts made to communicate with the people identified, only two instances were successful in identifying the perpetrator. “This case is one where we have a pretty good idea of the source, but as to

who dumped, it is another question,” he said. “In response to this matter being raised again by a member of the community, we have raised this to a higher level in the department. “We really do need to take steps to improve our response in dealing with these issues and we have acted to ensure that happens,” Mr Brennan said.

THE YARRA Valley’s only Victoria Cross recipient will be recognised on Sunday with the launch of a book celebrating his life. ‘Great Courage and Initiative’ - The Heroic Life of George Ingram VC, MM, is a biography written by Mount Evelyn historian Anthony McAleer. The book will be launched by the Wandin and District Historical Museum Society on Sunday 29 March, with a number of guest speakers including Mr Ingram’s son, Alex Ingram and Shrine Guard Inspector Michael Glinski. Mr McAleer said George Ingram was a modest man who

rarely spoke of his war-time experiences. “From a country boyhood growing up in Seville, to serving with the artillery in Victoria and Rabaul and on to the horror and heroism of the Western Front with the 24th Battallion AIF, where he was awarded both the Military Medal and the Victoria Cross, George Ingram, lived a heroic life,” he said. The book will be launched at 2pm at Mont De Lancey Historical Homestead, 712 Wellington Road, Wandin North and members of the public are welcome to attend.

Expressions of Interest are invited for membership on the Community Reference Group Closing date 30th of April 2015 Yarra Ranges Council is seeking expressions of interest from members of the community to join a Community Reference Group for a review of the Regional Strategy Plan. The project which is being undertaken in partnership with the State Government will be used to inform preparation of a new Localised Planning Statement for Yarra Ranges. The Planning Statement will become part of the State section of the Yarra Ranges Planning Scheme and is also intended to be the basis for an amended version of the Regional Strategy Plan. The purpose of the Community Reference Group is to provide input at key points as the project proceeds.

www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au

Council is inviting nominations from persons who have an open mind towards the future of Yarra Ranges, are community oriented, are interested in a range of issues, and can commit to working in a group where participants may have diverse views. A maximum 10 persons will be appointed to the Community Reference Group. For more information about the project and to complete an Expression of Interest form go to www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/LPS, or visit Council’s Lilydale Community Link or phone Strategic Planning on 9294 6467.

Opinion Chop and change

More cycling, less bickering

YARRA Glen residents are reported to have raised their eyebrows over the removal of 10 oak trees along Bell Street north, opposite Symons Street, making room for a 28-lot building development (Mountain Views Mail, 17 February, 2015). Young Australians are desperate to find affordable land near their central business district or inner-suburban professional jobs. Older Australians are downsizing and reverse mortgaging all their assets, fearing an imminent age-pension crisis. Everyone needs shelter, somewhere, so Yarra Glen complainants opposing such generous site development are simply barking up the wrong tree. The Yarra Glen and District Men’s Shed Inc. made its own civil wishes widely known and today leases a 222 square metre building from Yarra Ranges Council. About 28 distinguished district gentlemen gather for occasional hobbies and conversation. Nearby, native trees continue to ‘disappear’. Real estate advertising received in my letterbox (minus an Australia Post stamp and postmark) shows 22 of 28 building sites on ‘The Glen Estate’ are very small: 500 square metres (or a little more) with many less than 600 square metres. Lots number 15-19, 22, 25 and 26 are hardly big enough for a kennel and a carport. Where will the conditional native trees be planted? Is there enough room? Yarra Glen residents have ‘no grounds’ for complaint about property development. Land sales are a prime local industry. These pocket-size lots will make excellent portable dwelling spaces for transient fruit-pickers who only stay a while. Lots 15 to 19 are tailor-made for a two-storey strip of townhouses, where sprightly retirees can watch the Yarra Valley horse races. Noel Buchanan, Yarra Glen.

I’ve encountered drivers whose idea of “sufficient“ distance is simply leaving enough centimetres to not clip a cyclist with a side-mirror. Cyclists very often are seen as an inconvenience to be dealt with on the roads. This is where attitudes need to change before meaningful steps can be made to improve conditions. In areas such as the Dandenong Ranges, groups of cyclists can often make it difficult for drivers to get through the hills, without slowing and waiting for a safe area to pass, which understandably frustrates some drivers. But this inconvenience of waiting for a safe area to pass is far outweighed by the importance of keeping all road users safe. Rash overtaking and not leaving appropriate distance puts riders at risk of being injured or killed, just so someone can shave minutes off their trip. People who ride bikes, through taxation and council rates, pay for the roads just like motorists, and are just as entitled to use the roads, but are more vulnerable than any other road user. It follows that measures to protect these users, such as a more stringent definition of a safe passing distance, should be at the very least thoughtfully considered and discussed. After all, for motorists, minimum safe passing distances are a matter of convenience, and their opinions and feelings matter in that regard. But for cyclists, the issue is literally life or death.

CYCLING is an exhilarating form of exercise. Riding down hills, through back streets and even through Healesville’s buzzing main street, it’s great to experience towns in the valley and the hills on two wheels. But when it comes to discussing laws around cycling, much of the conversation gets bogged down in bickering. Every time the activity is mentioned or a new initiative is discussed, a dissenting voice isn’t too far away, protesting or recalling an anecdote about a time when cyclists did them wrong. And that’s fine, because people are perfectly entitled to see differently about issues and the way society is shaped. But conversations like these don’t just miss the point; they travel away from it at the speed it takes to type an aggressive Facebook comment. A bill was tabled by Eastern Metropolitan MLC, Samantha Dunn, last week, calling for a one-metre distance between cyclists and vehicles overtaking, with a greater distance in areas with higher speed limits. Cycling groups immediately supported the bill, while groups such as the RACV, very rightly, questioned the bill’s necessity - the current law encourages a “sufficient“ distance to be kept, anyway. But the key here is quantifying something that, currently, is completely subjective.

believe that we must act strongly and quickly on all levels to get this issue resolved. It is a scandal that we pay hundreds of millions of dollars for bus services that are hardly used outside school peak times. Every time one of those 40-seater Ventura buses passes you by, take a look inside and see if anyone is on them. They are paid for the kilometres they travel and have no incentive to improve the patronage. Bus drivers have told me that fare avoidance is close to 100 per cent. This means that there is hardly any income received for bus services. I have a plan that has been well received by all I’ve spoken with through my local campaigning over the last eight months. That is to replace these larger 40-seat buses with 10-seater buses that run every 10 minutes between centres, in both directions, one each way. Each centre will be linked by another pair of buses that also go each way. This will provide a matrix of links to each of the towns in the Dandenongs, enabling travellers to go anywhere. The cost model is easily explained: $1 per ride with 10 services per hour (2x5trips) and 10 people on each of these buses will earn $100 per hour. The wages for two drivers would be $40 an hour for each and the remaining $20 per hour is for fuel, maintenance and capital depreciation. Eventually fuel should evolve into electric hybrid vehicles; these are currently available. It would mean the establishment of solar powered battery charging stations, which is infrastructure needed for the electric cars of the future. These smaller buses can support the following needs: •฀ Public transport everywhere and at all hours; •฀ Tourism that can bring anyone from Melbourne by train and buses to help boost our small businesses without creating car congestion and parking problems; •฀ Ecotourism with onboard video and guides promoting appreciation of our magnificent environment; •฀ A dial-a-bus service for those who cannot easily get to the bus stops; and •฀ Emergency evacuation off the mountain when threats like fire occur. I will work hard to deliver this plan with the broad community support I’ve received. Mike Clarke, Lyster candidate.

Targets on slow burn By KATH GANNAWAY A WARBURTON woman is urging Upper Yarra residents to have a say on planned burning targets. The issue was one of many raised at a bushfire information meeting in Warburton last week. Peter West from the Department of Environment, Land and Water Protection and Justin Leonard from CSIRO, were among the speakers who addressed the topical issue of planned burns, leading to discussion about the competing sciences, and the impact of planned burns in and around Warburton and across Central Highlands. Responding to a statement by Kellie Gee about the value, and the extent of planned burns, Mr West said a review was currently being undertaken by the Inspector-General for Emergency Management which would look at reviewing performance targets for the future bushfire fuel management program on public land. The review was announced in February this year by the Minister for Enviornment, Climate Change and Water, Lisa Neville. She said while the review would not affect the department’s 2014-’15 program, it would begin a process to develop an evidence-based approach to reducing the risk of fire and protecting lives, communities and the environment. Minister for Emergency Services, Jane Garrett, also cited a ‘best evidence-based approach’ as part of the review. Ms Gee said she would be making a submission, and encouraged others to put in a submission. “In making a submission I would be hoping it would make a difference to the targets and that less public land would be burnt as a result, she said.

Kellie Gee is pushing for changes to planned burning targets. 136549

Counting on these women By KATH GANNAWAY LIVING up to the 2015 theme, the 250 women who came to the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges for the Yarra Ranges Women on Farms Gathering over the weekend, not only made every woman count ... they made every minute count. After two years in the planning, the organising committee welcomes women from regional and rural townships across Australia and put on a spectacular program of events. Speakers including keynote speaker executive director of Worawa Aboriginal College, former Sapphire, among many other achievements, Lois Peeler, Brooke Collins-Wandin who did the Wel-

come to Country, Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford, founder of the Yarra Valley Regional Food Group, Suzanne Halliday, the Gathering’s Patron, Kalorama author and culinary wizard, Ann Creber, and Yarra Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy, were inspirational. There were many others who inspired with their stories, their challenges and their achievements. Tours to areas including Marysville, the Dandenongs and around the Yarra Valley showcased beautiful townships, landscapes and communities to a positive group of potential ambassadors and workshops initiated networks that will last way beyond the weekend. YRWOFG chair, Debbie de

Laps, was at a loss on Monday to single out one highlight of the event. “The whole idea was that we would work as a team and enjoy the journey as much as the outcome and we really did,” she said of the committee and the volunteers. “I suppose, for me, it was probably behind the scenes and seeing every single person putting their shoulder to the wheel, finding what needed doing and just doing it.” If you were part of the YRWOFG, let us know what your highlight was. Post to the Mail Facebook page, email to editor@ mailnewsgroup.com.au , or write to Mail News Group, PO Box 470, Healesville. 3777.

Rain however intervened about noon and continued for the rest of the day. With unprecedented entries in the cattle, hackney and sheep sections it was expected by officials that the show would attain a success far exceeding any of its predecessors. Although the rain undoubtedly affected the patronage, the gate takings were only slightly below last year’s, while the entries were over

Overtaking cyclists

Crime stats on the rise

By JESSE GRAHAM By PETER DOUGLAS

A FORMER Yarra Ranges councillor called for changes to current cycling laws, which could see drivers fined for not keeping a metre distance. Member for Eastern Metropolitan Samantha Dunn said the bill she tabled last week would improve safety for cyclists in areas such as the Dandenongs and provide clarity to current laws. Ms Dunn’s bill, tabled on Wednesday 18 March, would make it unlawful for motorists to overtake a cyclist with less than one metre distance, or less than a metre and a half if the speed limit was over 60km/h. Currently, the law only requires drivers to pass with “sufficient distance” and agencies such as VicRoads advise drivers to try and leave a metre distance. The penalty for not leaving sufficient distance is $1500 fine, which would remain the punishment for drivers not leaving one metre under the new laws. Ms Dunn, a former Lyster Ward councillor, told the Mail that the proposed bill would bring “clarity” to the law, which is currently more open to interpretation, and improve safety for riders in areas such as the Dandenongs. “There is no doubt that the roads in the Dandenongs are challenging, whether you’re a cyclist or a motorist, and combined is even more difficult,” she said. “I think, ultimately, it’s about providing clarity to drivers around what is a safe passing distance and it’s about keeping cyclists as safe as possible - they’re incredibly vulnerable road users.” Referencing similar laws being trialled in Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, Ms Dunn said that having one metre for passing was already established across the country, and had been proven to improve rider safety. “For me, Victoria is lagging behind at the moment - I think it’s time for us to get up to date with what’s happening around the country,” she said. The Royal Automotive Club of Victoria (RACV) posted on social media on Wednesday, stating it was opposed to the laws, and criticised the bill for potentially causing problems for drivers.

Member for Eastern Metropolitan Samantha Dunn wants to see an enforcible minimum Picture: JESSE GRAHAM distance between cars and cyclists. 136497 “RACV opposes the legislated minimum metre separation when passing cyclists. ‘Unnecessary with current laws’,” the organisation posted on Twitter. “Even when passing riders in bike lanes, riding to the right of the lane, drivers will need to change lanes if the new metre rule is introduced.” Eildon MP Cindy McLeish, noting she had yet to see the bill in the Lower House of parliament, said she also had concerns about the bill, and didn’t believe mandatory distances were the right solution. “With regard to the bill, I do have concerns as to how it is proposed that this be enforced,” she said. “In particular, I have concerns for how this would be implemented on local roads, which are narrow and windy and double lines for some distance, such as the Black Spur or the Chum Creek Road.” “Whilst we need to find an effective way to share the road, I am not sure this is the solution for us, locally.” But Ms Dunn said the distance was measured from the bike, not from the edge of bike lanes, which are widely used in the city and in areas in

the Yarra Ranges, such as Healesville. The laws on passing cyclists currently allow for drivers to cross a solid white line when passing, only when safe to do so, and this would continue to be the case if Ms Dunn’s bill becomes law. “The law is in place to give guidance, but the reality is that drivers should only pass a cyclist if it is safe to do so - ultimately, that should guide their decisions on how they drive on the road,” Ms Dunn said. Monbulk MP and Deputy Premier James Merlino said the legislation would need to pass a “common sense test” to be supported, but that the government was open to considering the bill. Ms Dunn said the bill would be discussed in coming months, but was not able to give an approximate timeline to when it will be debated in parliament. Do you think that the laws about minimum distances between cars and cyclists need to change, or do you think they are fine as they are? Write a letter to the editor to editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au or to PO Box 470, Healesville, Victoria, 3777.

FAMILY violence and drug-related crimes continue to be a major concern in the Yarra Ranges, with statistics showing a rise in offences. The Crime Statistics Agency last week released its annual data for last year, with the total offence count in the local government area breaking the 7000 barrier. Among the most concerning, though, is the prevalence of family violence or familyrelated incidents, which has risen from 756 in 2010 to 1373. Drugs-related offences followed suit. Of particular note is the cultivation or manufacture of drugs, which rose from 21 counts to 63 last year. This followed a major increase in druguse and possession offences, rising from 267 in 2012 to 326. While it’s important to remember these are only the reported cases, such statistics give an indication of the extent. Crime Statistics Agency Chief Statistician, Fiona Dowsley, said the report offers valuable insight for the community. “The Crime Statistics Agency’s goal is to make crime statistics available to the Victorian community in a clear and accessible way,” Ms Dowsley said. Other areas of concern for law-enforcement and the community are sexual offences, with 234 recorded. There were five homicide and related offences in the Yarra Ranges. Meanwhile, over the same period, Cardinia Shire’s total offence count increased from 589 to 1222. While in Murrindindi Shire, the count increased from 58 to 142.

Sustainable festival gathers support By PETER DOUGLAS THERE aren’t many events that lure 2000 people and only require one rubbish bin to clean up. Ecotopia is one of them. With an emphasis on sustainable living, and improving health and environment issues, the event is clearly living up to its commitment. On hand at the event were countless stallholders promoting the benefits of

green living. This included the solar and bio-diesel powered stages, the environmental information stalls and the recycled fashion parade. Now in its third year, Ecotopia continues to find an audience among the Yarra Junction and wider region. Community engagement co-ordinator Chelsea McNabb is impressed with the evolution of the event. “There were some last-minute

changes, and it was quite stressful, but we are pleased with how it’s come together,” she said. “The fashion parade has gone particularly well. “And we are celebrating without destroying the Earth.” Ms McNabb said luring rapper Joelstics to the stage was a big coup, as it appealed to the teenage audience. She added that it has increased the profile of many individuals and local

Amid the beautiful autumn day, the crowds lapped up their chance to delve into such initiatives. There was also a healthy supply of locally grown produce. Among the most popular stalls was the smoothie stall, with the customers cycling to mix their own smoothies. Bella Riley, 14, from Yarra Junction, was one who enjoyed the chance to enjoy a cycle and a smoothie.

She described the process as a fun way to enjoy a treat. Ms McNabb said without sponsor support, the event would not have been such a success. This included support from Yarra Ranges Council, the Warburton and Yarra Junction community banks, the Upper Yarra community house, the Upper Yarra museum and Yarra Valley Permaculture.

Gold in them ‘thar’ hills By KATH GANNAWAY GOLD mining in the Upper Yarra is the forgotten legacy according to Russell Falkenberg. Russell worked in the mining industry around Reefton and Hoddles Creek and his diorama of a working goldmine was a popular attraction at Crank Up last year. It will be back again this year when the Upper Yarra Valley Historical Society runs the event on the weekend of 28 and 29 March at the Upper Yarra Museum at Yarra Junction. He is a goldmine of information about the industry he says was a major driver of the economy in its heyday. “There were 2200 men and women at Reefton when the mines were going in the 1860s,” he says. Gold came well before the timber industry according to Russell,

who says there is still plenty of gold in them thar hills, and he has some wonderful stories to tell of that golden era. Crank Up is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and folklore of the Upper Yarra region. The museum is in itself a goldmine of information about the people, places and activities over the decades. In addition to pioneer crafts such as the blacksmith shop, working draught horses and steamrollers, the event will this year feature a display of hot rods. The old-style playground is a great place for the kids, and there will be stalls, food and drink, and more. Crank-Up is on from 10am to 4pm both days. Visit upperyarramuseum.org.au for more information.

Russell Falkenberg will share stories of the golden days of mining at Crank Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY Up. 135967

MOVIES By SETH HYNES FROM Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, ‘Chappie’ is another solid sci-fi film for the new year. Decon (Dev Patel), a corporate inventor in Johannesburg, secretly creates a sentient robot named Chappie (Sharlto Copley). Chappie is sweet and childlike, but is corrupted by a bunch of small-time gangsters. With just his voice, Copley delivers an arresting performance as Chappie. The robot is like a naive kid, led astray in a harsh world. Your heart reaches out to him and his strutting behaviour is both amusing and sad. Chappie’s gangster ‘family’, whom we follow through much of the film, are annoying and pretty reprehensible at first.

Chappie makes us happy You’ll need a high tolerance for this kind of character, even with the redemptive arcs they undergo and Yolandi’s motherly care for Chappie. Much of the suspense is generated from Chappie’s exploitation and the bright, evolving way he views the world, which makes up for the vague threat of his draining battery (and some underdeveloped ideas about consciousness). The atmosphere is squalid but with tinges of magic, the energetic action is gloriously visceral and the supporting cast excels with their short screen-time; Patel is dedicated and fatherly as Deon, and Hugh Jackman is riveting as an unhinged, scheming rival engineer. Balancing grit, dark laughs and insane action with a poignant, sensitive and unconventional character study, ‘Chappie’ will make you think twice about mistreating your electronics.

Rob’s Bloods keeper By KATH GANNAWAY THERE’S no doubting Rob Nolan’s passion for Healesville Football Club. His face literally beams when he speaks of the club he has had an association with for decades. Rob, who has been a Bloods’ player, including playing in an under-17 and two seconds premiership teams over the years, has by a process of elimination become the keeper of the club’s more than 100year history, “I used to be the club’s unofficial historian, and I suppose you could say I’m now the official historian,” he said by way of explanation of how he came to be the history keeper. “In 1988 when the club had its centenary I sort of steered those celebrations and it’s something that has just evolved because no-one else was really interested in that aspect of the club.” A display Rob mounted at Healesville Library earlier this month is a launching pad for the hundreds of facts, figures and anecdotes he has gathered as he’s delved into the records, and into the memories of past players. He’s picked the brains of the men, and women, who he regards as the club’s elders, and says it only takes a photo on the wall to get the anecdotes and memories pouring out. The collection which is on display until the end of this month is grass-roots football magic. The photographs dating back to the good times, and through the droughts, are in a way a mirror of the town. The names and faces, from the Badger Creek Football Club made up predominately of Aboriginal players, through to the numerous premiership photos taken at Queen’s Park, almost invariably with the iconic Mount Riddell as the backdrop, reflect the names that crop up in almost every aspect of the town’s development over the years. Trophies, banners, record books,

In front of the old club rooms at Queen's Park. 135971 A colourised photo from 1937 that is part of the collection. 135971 the Ladies’ Membership tickets, guernseys and other memorabilia track from the earliest days through to the current time, including the jumpers from Healesville’s 150th commemoration match. And, of course, now including netball - all part of what Rob says is history in real time. Every aspect of the club is fodder for the history books. There’s no such thing as past history for Rob. Of the ‘good old days’ he says it’s hard to compare eras. “Obviously the game has changed,” he says. “But, I have a lot of respect for the boys who played the game way back then. “The theme is the same, it’s about blokes coming together to do something that they enjoy doing, but back then they played in conditions that

were just horrible a lot of the time. “When you got out there in the wind, and the rain, and the mud, it was hard going; we have them to thank for persevering through the decades to the point now where our boys never see any mud.” Turning up for the game wasn’t the issue, but fronting up every Tuesday and Thursday for training, didn’t have the adrenalin push of running out against another club. “You had to psyche yourself up in the rain, with mud up to your ankles. “To play on Saturday, you had to train. “The motivation remains the same. “That’s why even today, you have to believe in the team, and what it is you’re trying to achieve as a team,” he says, citing Luke Barclay who is coming up for his 200th game this season.

He’s missed only one game since 2005. “It’s things like that, things that are happening right now, that I really love,” Rob says. “I’m here to witness it, and it’s terrific; it’s a privilege.” The library display is part of a campaign to get the town behind the club. “Every club needs that local community support, and 2015, he says, has all the hallmarks of being a good time to be a Bloods supporter. “We’re looking forward to this year with a couple of good recruits, a good coach, a good president and a good committee, and we want to get people involved.” If the historic saying “you need to know where you came from, to know where you’re going”, is anything to go by, Healesville Library is a great place to garner inspiration.

A SUNNY autumn day greeted the competitors for the Goulburn River Championships at the Woods Point Gun Club. Chuck Lay and Rob Bevis started the day well with a win in the 10-target Continental Points Eye Opener with 29/30 each. The first event was the 20-target Doubler Barrel Continental Goulburn River Championship, sponsored by club vice-president Peter West and his wife Ellen. Phillip Woods and Phillip Desmond both returned perfect 20/20 scores to shoot off for the sash. It only took two targets for Woods to win his first sash at the Point for 2015, 22/22. Desmond won AA Grade outright, 20/20, Mick Ward was second with 42/43. A Grade was an easy win for Woods 20/20, from

the Hoon 16/20. Laurie Poile didn’t let his secretarial duties hold him back from taking B Grade 18/20, John Butters second 16/20. C Grade was an all family affair with Greg Shahin’s 19/20 beating brother Peter’s 17/20. The main event was the 75-target Streuber Buckle Championship that featured a 1920 US Silver Dollar Mounted in a trophy frame with embossed leather belt buckles for each of the grade winners. Desmond eclipsed all opposition with three perfect rounds of 25/25 to take the trophy and the overall buckle. In AA Grade, Bevis’s 74/75 was enough for first, with Ward second 72/75. The Hoon, having just got off crutches after a hip replacement, won A Grade 71/75 from Peter West 83/90 after a

Peter Shahin’s excellent 72/75 was enough for the C Grade win, while up-and-coming shooter Daniel Chinn was second with 70/75. The club’s Ohio USA based sponsor Peter Streuber supplied

the buckles and the Silver Dollar for the event, that was cosponsored by local member Rob Kirley. The next shoot on Sunday 26 April, at 10.30am, is the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches of the Bendigo Bank Gold Cup and includes the club’s 2015 Champion of Champions competition.

Sport

Full Moon at racing By KATH GANNAWAY HEALESVILLE speedway driver Ben Moon has taken out the 2015 Victorian Sports Sedan title. In a win that surprised even him, Moon held off the field of around 30 competitors at Alexandra Speedway on Saturday, 14 March, to claim the title for the second time. A late starter to speedway, he started in his late twenties and has been on the track for eight or nine years. His first Victorian title came in 2012 and while he is more than pleased with his second title, he says it was totally unexpected. Coming back after a 10-month break, Moon qualified with a two-race meeting at Rosedale just the weekend before. He had given the engine of his VS Commodore a freshen up to run the title event and wasn’t disappointed with the performance. “It did really well,” he said. “I was hoping to do well and going out to have some fun. “I had a lot of luck in my favour on the night, and the other favourites were quite unlucky as it eventuated. Taking the front line position for around the last eight of the 30 laps, he held off the rest of the field, coming in ahead of Luke Fallon and Brendan Miller to become the new state champion.

Thompson was on track for the race in which Damien Miller topped the qualifying results with the defending champion Matt Nelson alongside him then Brendan Miller, Rahmon Rivero, and Moon and Fallon making up the top six. Concurring with Moon’s comments about the vagaries of luck on the night, Thompson said the race didn’t go according to plan for a number of drivers. “A spin to Damien Miller while leading on lap eight saw his car being re-directed to the rear of the field to restart, not before Rivero through the dust unable to see spat up by drivers driving under the pole line slammed into Miller putting himself out of the race,” he said. “Daniel Unternahrer then hit concrete on lap 11 to be eliminated while Nelson thought he might have done a gearbox and pulled out of the race while leading soon after. “Fallon held the lead briefly, Moon assumed the lead from him and Damien Miller came forward from last on lap eight to be in the top five again. “Moon went on to record his second Victorian Sports Sedan title victory from Fallon, Brendan Miller, Damien Miller and Andrew Jordan who took over fifth place from Tim McPherson on a last gasp run on lap 30,” he said. Other finishers included Aaron Marshall, Sam Williams, Matt Chiminello, Dale Smith and James Powell, all on the lead lap.

Moon, who works in the family business, Yarra Coffee in Lilydale, is among hundreds of Yarra Valley enthusiasts who race, and who have raced, on the sand and granite track at Alex over the years. “It’s definitely a popular track with the locals,” he said, adding a recommendation for anyone thinking of taking up a high-octane sport. “It’s the cheapest motorsport you can do, and as a sport, it’s great for getting kids off the streets.” Alexandra Speedway returns on Saturday, 28 March, for the Victorian Ladies Standard Saloon title and all club divisions.

Tigers claim fame YVCA WOORI Yallock is the champion of the Yarra Valley Cricket Association after a stellar performance in the grand final. The victory caps off a great rise for the Tigers. After enticing former junior gun Daniel Mock to lead the club, Woori Yallock assembled a talented group of players for this season. Woori Yallock had no hesitations in electing to bat first, in order to seize another chance to put up a decent score. But the Burras had different ideas. Through a pair of wickets from the brilliant Mick Walker, and his reliable partner in crime David Lever, the Tigers soon found themselves under the pump at 4/24. Consolidation was called for, and in-form captain Daniel Mock and Ryan Frost came together and steadied the ship to guide their side to 4/87 at tea. Upon return from the tea interval, the quick wicket of Frost again opened the door for the Burras. Mock had other ideas, and, after establishing himself at the wicket, he wasn’t going to let his team down. Through a pair of useful partnerships with Simon Young and Greg Selby, Mock’s innings of 77 enabled his team to loosen the chains and post a handy 186. After day one, most had the Burras in front, as most thought they had enough talent in the bank. Warburton-Millgrove made steady progress at the start of their innings, and the in-form David Lever threatened to stay at the crease and take the game away from his opposition. The brilliant stroke-maker couldn’t repeat his semi-final heroics. His wicket with the score on 50 started a worrying trend for the favourites.

The batsmen couldn’t nudge their noses in front as talented allrounder, Simon Young, and reliable spinner, Ben Hayes, turned the screws. Warburton-Millgrove’s long batting order ensured the Burras were only one partnership away from victory, however, the partnership never came. They were eventually dismissed for 148. Some doubted the Tigers’ claims to be top dogs, as they struggled to beat the experienced line-ups of Seville and Warburton-Millgrove. But they put those doubts to rest in emphatic fashion across two weekends of hard-edged finals cricket. In R.A. Finger Trophy play, Seville and Coldstream clashed at Woori Yallock. Day one proved to be an old fashioned arm wrestle, with neither team truly claiming honours. Seville batted first and found it tough to gain any momentum, due to the loss of early wickets. Opener Jake McInnis (40) held things together early for the Blues as wickets fell around him. But the Crocs couldn’t land the knock-out blow. A useful partnership from Tom Page (31) and Michael Stevenson (27 not out) added some stability to the innings and ensured Seville reached a defendable 165. The wickets were shared for the Crocs, as the bowlers worked as a team to keep the Blues in check. The total looked to be short of the mark. Despite losing their first two wickets before the score had reached 20, Ben Walsh (40) and Stephen Phillips (65) combined for an extended partnership that had the Crocs well in control. Someone forgot to tell the Sandfort brothers, Ron and Mark. The Sandforts combined for nine wickets to turn this contest on its ear.

Michael Walker (Warburton Millgrove) goes out lbw bowled by Jack Wright (Woori Yallock). Even at 5/130, most had the Crocs still in front, with just one decent partnership, or a couple of lusty blows needed to close the gap on victory. Finals nerves can be crippling, and within a blink of an eye, the Crocs had capitulated to a 20-run loss, sending the Seville contingency into unexpected celebrations that looked a distant chance for most of the day.
