■ $300 million settlement averts lengthy Black Saturday court battle...

Worawa spirit comes alive

Class action victor y By JESSE GRAHAM A LENGTHY court battle over the final Black Saturday bushfires class action lawsuit has been avoided, after a $300 million settlement was approved by the Supreme Court last week. Justice Karin Leigh Emerton handed down her judgement on the proposed settlement for the Murrindindi-Marysville bushfire class action lawsuit on Wednesday 27 May. In a 33-page judgement, Justice Emerton outlined her reasoning for supporting the settlement for the class action, which was led by Marysville’s Dr Katherine Rowe against AusNet Services (formerly SP AusNet), maintenance contractor UAM and State parties (CFA, Victoria Police and DELWP).

The case alleged that AusNet was to blame for the fire starting west of Milhelmina Falls Road, from a power conductor snapping and draping over a wire fence, electrifying other wires and igniting vegetation. It was alleged that UAM failed to report obvious defects and that the State parties failed to get information to people “at the right time”the settlement was reached without admission of liability by any party. One of the major considerations in accepting the settlement, according to Justice Emerton, was weighing up the benefits of saving the court process with the possibility of a better outcome for survivors if the case went on. She noted that, with 131 witnesses set to take the

SCHOOLS from around the valley and beyond gathered last week for a special annual sports carnival to mark the start of Reconciliation Week.

stand and describe their experiences of the bushfires, the settlement saved all those impacted by the fires from having to describe their trauma in detail. “In my view, the advantage of an early finalisation of the proceeding is a very important one,” the judgement read. “Given the traumatic nature of the events giving rise to the class action, there must be a considerable benefit to avoiding long delays and in achieving finality in litigation.” Justice Emerton wrote that there was also no guarantee of a positive outcome for the class action members, with the possibility of losing the case or having an outcome appealed, significantly raising legal costs.

Brigade’s centenar y parade By JESSE GRAHAM UPPER Yarra residents came out in force on the weekend to pay tribute as part of Warburton Fire Brigade’s 100th birthday, taking up lanterns and hitting the streets on Saturday night. The brigade held its open day on Saturday 30 May, with a day of music, food and activities from 11am, before a ceremony and unveiling of the brigade’s bell to mark the group’s centenary. When the sun went down, firefighters and community members gathered at the Alpine Lodge hotel for a torchlight march to the station at the other end of town. Uniformed volunteers from Lilydale, Belgrave, Yellingbo, Ferntree Gully, Clematis, Yarra Junction and The Basin’s CFA brigades all joined Warburton’s members for the parade, which was accompanied by

performances from Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria and Ringwood Highland Pipe Bands. Firefighters carried open-wick torches, while residents applauded on the sidelines with home-made lanterns for the event, with about 70 made earlier that day in a workshop with artist Sioux Dollman. Warburton Fire Brigade centenary co-ordinator Leila Smith said the event was “beautiful”, with one of the major highlights being the bell unveiling. “It was originally housed under the first fire station,” Ms Smith said. “We have put it back together and given it a bit of paint - it’s now in pride of place at the front of the station.” The event was the culmination of the brigade’s centenary events. For more photos, see mail. starcommunity.com.au.

Town looks to future By JESSE GRAHAM A MEETING between community members and Yarra Ranges Council representatives will try to answer a question sitting on the lips of many - what will Coldstream’s future look like? The Coldstream Structure Plan community workshop will be held on Thursday 4 June at Coldstream Primary School from 7pm to 9pm. The meeting will be based around the recently-released Issues and Opportunities paper, published by the council and Hansen Partnership which goes over Coldstream

with a fine-tooth comb. Assessing issues such as a disconnect between the residential part of Coldstream and the shopping precinct, the paper lists things that need improvement in the town and discusses in-depth how those improvements could be made. Facilitating walking and cycling in the town, through high-quality footpaths and bike racks is one of the ‘opportunities’ listed in the paper, which notes the possibility of a walking/cycling path connecting Lilydale to Yarra Glen via Coldstream being established. The issue of expanding Cold-

stream by re-drawing the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and green wedge zones, which has been raised many times in recent years, is also discussed, though it is noted that there are many arguments against the move. One of the major points raised about the town’s growth is that an act of parliament would need to be passed to re-draw the UGB and amend the council’s Regional Strategy Plan, which is unlikely given that Labor promised before the election that it would not change green wedge zones. However, many ideas are raised

within the paper for improving the town’s spaces, improving amenities and attracting more visitors. The community workshop will be a chance for residents to raise thoughts, ideas and issues with the council and to discuss the paper and its ideas for the future of the town. All of the input raised will help to inform the Coldstream Structure Plan, which is expected to be released as a draft paper later in the year. To read the Issues and Opportunities paper or to register for the meeting, visit www.yarraranges.vic. gov.au.

All go for snow patrols By JESSE GRAHAM SNOW-LOVING volunteers are being sought to help tourists near Marysville over winter, with the Lake Mountain Ski Patrol taking on new recruits. The LMSP is searching for new volunteers, with a training weekend to be held on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June at the resort near Marysville. Ski Patrol volunteers must be over the age of 18, be competent at skiing and have a “good level” of fitness, and must have a level two first aid qualification, according to patrol captain Tim Hatten. Members provide first aid and advice to visitors and tourists over the snow season, as well as assisting with search operations if people go missing. Volunteers come from all over

the Yarra Valley, with Mr Hatten, the manager of the Millgrove Outdoor Education Centre, based in Healesville. A normal shift with the LMSP involves patrolling the base of the resort, the network of ski and snowshoe trails, toboggan slopes and other facilities. Resort manager Scott Gamble said the volunteers “do an incredible job” in looking after visitors and keeping the area safe. “The patrol is an exceptionally important part of our operations and, if we are doing our job well in attracting visitors to the resort, then there is a great flow-on to the local Marysville triangle region,” Mr Gamble said. The volunteers work over the busy weekend periods at the resort, while paid patrollers work during the week.

out of the property - the driver then lost control and almost hit the police car. The car then travelled along Don Road, overtaking several cars and a bus near the Don Road Sporting Complex. Police did not attempt to pursue it. Police said the Commodore has damage along its passenger side and was missing its front bumper. The driver is believed to be Caucasian and aged between 25 and 30. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.gov.au.

Briefly Youth camp raid THIEVES have raided a Badger Creek youth camp for the second time in recent weeks. Lilydale Police Crime Investigation Unit Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said the Polana Youth Camp on Don Road in Badger Creek was broken into recently, with an air compressor and a chainsaw stolen from one of the buildings. Det Sgt Smithwick said the bolt on the door had been damaged and that the value of the items taken was $1400. The break-in follows another that occurred between 12 and 16 May during which a brush cutter, a chainsaw, angle-grinder and other tools valued at $5000 were stolen. Det Sgt Smithwick said police were investigating a potential link between the two break-ins and asked anyone with information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a

Police give chase HIGHWAY Patrol officers are on the hunt for a silver Holden Commodore which was involved in a police chase last week. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers saw the VT-VX Holden Commodore sedan speeding and overtaking other cars as it travelled east on the Maroondah Highway between Coldstream and Healesville at 5.10pm on Thursday 22 May. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle but lost sight of it before finding it crashed into a guard-rail on the highway. After trying to intercept the car, again, the police called off their pursuit for safety reasons. At 5.20pm, police found the car in the driveway of a house on Don Road, Healesville, where it drove

From page 1 AusNet will contribute $260.9 million, while the State parties will contribute $29.1 million, and UAM will contribute $10 million to the settlement’s total of $300 million. Following the Murrindindi settlement, the total amount of compensation for Black Saturday survivors, including from the Kilmore EastKinglake fire, is $794 million, minus Maurice Blackburn’s fees. The Kilmore fire hit the areas around Steels Creek, Yarra Glen, Toolangi and Chum Creek. Dr Rowe said she hoped the compensation would help survivors who were still struggling in the aftermath of the fires and the trauma they wrought. “I truly hope that the compensation we have been able to secure today will help all those people still trying to rebuild, and that it lessens the ongoing burden somewhat for people, although it can never fully account for what we’ve gone through and lost,” she said. She said she hoped the settlement would force businesses “into better practices, so these disasters were averted in future.” Maurice Blackburn’s Class Actions Principal Brooke Dellvedova said the team was driven by wanting to deliver a “meaningful” result and a “sense of justice” for survivors. “We know that a victory even of this magnitude can never erase the pain that people suffered on and after that devastating day, but we are proud to have helped our clients achieve this very significant compensation,” she said. The Murrindindi-Marysville fire destroyed the towns of Marysville and Narbethong and killed 40 people, and the lawsuit was the last for the survivors of the Black Saturday bushfires. The survivors’ claims for compensation are expected to be assessed in a year.

Correction IN last week’s Mail, it was noted that a donation of a Mitsubishi Lancer to Healesville High School would replace its ageing Ford Gemini. Unfortunately, Ford has never made a Gemini, and the model is actually a Holden. The Mail apologises for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Small businesses engineer growth deduction for each and every individual asset valued up to $20,000. This means that business assets under $20,000 - such as fridges, computer, major office and retail equipment, tools, vehicles and machinery - can be immediately written off. I would encourage local small business owners to consider taking advantage of the instant asset writeoff by purchasing any much-needed equipment in this financial year. Farms with turnover of less than $2 million qualify as a small business and are therefore also eligible to immediately write-off all asset purchases up to $20,000. In addition, local farmers can now claim a tax deduction on all capital expenditure on water facilities, fodder storage assets, and fenc-

For those who currently run a small business with annual turnover less than $2 million, the budget reduces the tax burden to the lowest rate in 50 years. Incorporated small businesses will get a 1.5 per cent cut in the company tax rate, and unincorporated small businesses will get a 5 per cent tax discount, up to $1000 a year. To help improve cash flow and cut down paperwork, small businesses will get an immediate tax

ing incurred since the 2015 Budget was handed down. Now is a great time for those who are thinking of starting a new business to take action. This small business package delivers significant support that will allow immediate deduction of professional expenses incurred when starting a business. Our focus on small business is no passing fad. We know that hard-working small business owners need the backing and understanding of government. But as Small Business Minister Bruce Billson has said, there can be no substitute for customers. I encourage everyone to buy and shop locally, to help to boost jobs and grow our local economy.

He said one of the biggest rewards had been the interest Jeri had generated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once it started to look like a dragon in the workshop, people came in and were really interested in how it was coming together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response has been really wonderful.â&#x20AC;?

THEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE both got cheeky grins ... and engaging eyes. Reece Irvine, 5, seemed right at home cuddling up to the Upper Yarra Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest attraction, Jeri the dragon. Reece won the competition run by the Upper Yarra Valley Historical Society earlier this year to name the sculpture which took the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blacksmith team over 300 hours to transform from concept to reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the dragon in Never Ending Story,â&#x20AC;? Reece said, adding that the thing he liked most was his eyes; because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re his favourite colour. The name was inspired by the Aboriginal heritage of the Yarra Valley, taking the last four letters of the local Wurundjeri tribe.

SMALL business is the engine room of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, employing more than four million people across our nation. Combined, they produce over $330 billion of our national output. And small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, from retail outlets along the Healesville shopping precinct to trades businesses in Monbulk and everything in between. When small businesses succeed, our local economy and community prospers. This is why our government is focused on helping to support and strengthen small business. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federal Government Budget is a game-changer for hardworking local small business owners.

Intense ‘free range’ heat

Opposition takes aim at the thin blue line By JESSE GRAHAM OPPOSITION MPs have called for the State Government for more police resources following a door-stop at the Yarra Valley’s police stations last month. But the government has hit back at the call, saying 400 police would return to the streets due to its budget measures. On Wednesday 13 May Eildon MP Cindy McLeish and Opposition police spokesman Edward O’Donohue visited police stations in Yarra Glen, Healesville, Yarra Junction and Warburton. They told the Mail at their Healesville stop that they had come to talk to local police about issues they may be facing. Their visit also came a week after the release of the State Budget for the coming financial year. Mr O’Donohue criticised the Government for not funding new police staff under the Budget. “One of the challenges for Victoria Police is the new government has failed to commit resources to the force,” he said. “We’ve got a situation where Victoria is growing by 100,000 people a year you’ve got complex police challenges from working with family violence, the ice (crystal methamphetamine) and

By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Ranges Councillor Jim Child has urged anyone concerned about proposed changes around intensive animal husbandry to do their own research into what the council is proposing with Amendment C146. As reported in the Mail last week, the proposed amendment would remove the current prohibition on intensive animal husbandry in Green Wedge Zones 1, 2 and 3, and introduce a permit process to deal with ‘free range’ farming in those zones. Countering concerns raised in a Change.Org petition which depicted pigs raised in a ‘battery’ environment, Cr Child said it misrepresented what council was proposing. In a letter to the Mail (see page 6), he said the Mail article also missed the true intent. “That (intent) is to introduce a permit process to consider present and future ‘free range’ farming in Green Wedge Zones 1, 2 and 3 in line with all other municipalities with Green Wedge Zones,” he said. However, Greens spokesperson on local government and planning and Yarra Ranges resident Samantha Dunn, MP, said the intent wasn’t the problem. Kallista resident, Paul Grujic, also questioned the process. “I don’t have a problem with

Mr Noonan said the custody officers would begin at six stations, including Dandenong, Ballarat and Geelong before being rolled out to more than 20 stations. He said, with Victoria Police assessing the interim policy of police working two-up, it was “premature” to speculate on the impacts on small rural police stations. Mr O’Donohue and Ms McLeish said that from their conversations on the day there was strong support for local police stations in the Eildon electorate.

other issues, and VicPol is not being provided sufficient resources.” Mr O’Donohue said new police policies, which require officers to work in groups of at least two at any time, would also strain current resources. “Fundamentally, it’s going to require more resources, and the Government is not providing those resources,” he said. But Police Minister Wade Noonan said the introduction of 400 custody officers, beginning in the first half of next year, would mean 400 police officers would be able to return to street duties. Currently, police supervise people detained in police cells - the custody officers would take over that role. “The Andrews Labor Gov-

what they are trying to achieve, but with how they are trying to achieve it,” Mr Grujic told the Mail. Both Mr Brujic and Ms Dunn, who was a former Yarra Ranges councillor, are calling for the State legislation that defines Intensive Animal Husbandry to be changed. Mr Brujic said he had real concerns about people being able to take advantage of the changed permit process to introduce the types of farming practices that were not what the council intended. “What should happen, legally, is you get a permit, but you only have to wander around the hills to see examples of things that don’t have permits. “Someone will set up this sort of thing, and it will be too late when we have to start picking up the pieces. “If these changes are made, people will find ways around them.” Ms Dunn said she accepted free-range farming in Yarra Ranges. “I accept that it is a reasonable use of green wedge land, but that use could be accommodated in the short term in other ways, and the best way is a site specific amendment,” she said. “The council should go to the state to make the distinction between free range farming and

intensive animal husbandry. “At the moment, limitations are within the planning scheme and its definitions. Until that is addressed at state level, I don’t think the guarantees can be there for the community.” Cr Child said however, the interpretation was clear. “Free range is free range”, he said. “There is no way in the world that the council supports the sort of farming depicted in that photo and the reaction they got is what they wanted.” Cr Child said he was getting a lot of positive commentary supporting the proposal that all green wedge zones should be the same, with the appropriate conditions in place. He said the Regional Strategy Plan was now 30 years old, and it was time to reflect that farming is done differently now to meet a growing demand for free range products. Addressing concerns that the new permit process may not be watertight, he said people should look at the consultants’ report and what is proposed. “I am absolutely sure that the conditions that will be put in place will ensure that the type of factory farming depicted in the Change.Org photo will not happen,” he said.

Royal rumble’s a hit A Royal Night Out Rated M for mature themes Starring Sarah Gadon, Bel Powley, Jack Reynor A ROYAL Night Out is a silly historical comedy with surprising depth. Loosely based on real events, A Royal Night Out follows British princesses Elizabeth and Margaret as they celebrate VE Day (the end of WWII in Europe) incognito among the people of London. Full of amusing hijinks, A Royal Night Out is a fun comedy of errors (as Elizabeth rumbles across the city to reunite with her sister), but also contains a dash of danger and a satisfying level of maturity and intelligence. The film sagely balances British pride and revelry with uncertainty for the future and the lasting trauma of war, as Elizabeth befriends an

airman contemplating desertion after the loss of a friend. The casting is excellent; Sarah Gadon (who looks exactly like a young Queen Elizabeth) has an appropriately regal, dignified screen presence, but Bel Powley is a delightful bundle of energy as Margaret. A Royal Night Out does an effective job of making the royals relatable. The film acknowledges how cloistered the princesses feel, and frames their night out as a rare chance for Elizabeth to experience the people she will soon rule. It also gives Margaret a time to shine as the “lesser” royal; Elizabeth is the protagonist, but Margaret has the most fun. Point is, even a staunch Republican like me can find this movie thoroughly enjoyable. - SETH HYNES

Small business tax waiver Any of these assets - a lawnmower, industrial oven, coffee machine, printer, computers or tools - can be deducted from tax, as long as the business has an annual turnover of less than $2 million. Accompanying this measure was a drop to small business taxes by 1.5 per cent, and unincorporated small businesses are to receive a 5 per cent tax discount - up to $1000 - each year.

Casey MP Tony Smith praised the measures as helping small businesses in the area to invest in new technology and new staff. “The new $5.5 billion Growing Jobs and Small Business package will help local small businesses in the outer-east and Yarra Valley to invest more, grow their enterprises and employ more locals,” he said. Mr Smith said the tax deduction was a “sub-

stantial increase” from the previous $1000 threshold, and that the $20,000 tax deduction could be applied to every new asset purchased, rather than accumulatively. Treasurer Joe Hockey also said the budget features provisions for farmers who will be able to make immediate tax deductions on new fencing. With a number of new measures giving a leg-up to smaller operators, it’s a great time for business owners in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges to use this leg-up to invest, expand and grow.

Lower speed to lower toll By KATH GANNAWAY

A new speed limit has been put on the Healesville-Kooweerup Road at Yellingbo. 139899 why people crash, but at lower speeds, clearly people have more time to recover from a situation, and for both parties to take action. “If a crash does occur, the outcome will also be much less severe.” With the Goulburn Highway, VicRoads Regional Director Bryan Sherritt said the decision to lower the speed was an immediate safety improvement that VicRoads had agreed to in conjunction with Victoria Police and Murrindindi Shire Council in response to the number of fatal crashes and safety concerns. High crash warning signs and rumble strips had also been installed.

Yellingbo CFA Captain Paul Spinks said he believed reducing the speed limit to 80km/h would help reduce serious crashes on a bend in the road which he and his volunteers have become very familiar with. “It’s not a very sharp corner, but if you hit it at 100km/h and end up on the stones you’re just not going to get your car back,” he said. “That is, I believe, the advantage of having the speed limit at 80km/h there.” Mr Spinks observed that the accidents have involved young drivers for the most part, and that brings inexperience in to it.

The slower speed just gives more leeway to recover from a bad situation. He said while it may be apparent to local drivers that 100km/h is not a safe speed on a lot of stretches of the Healesville-Kooweerup Road, it may be different for visitors to the area. “Because it says 100, there may be a perception that you can drive at that speed in all conditions, and it is mainly in poor conditions where these crashes have happened,” he said. “It may be the difference between us attending a minor accident rather than a more serious one,” he said. He said the speed limit reduction

had been received positively, and that further investigations were being done by VicRoads into other aspects of the road. He urged drivers using that road, and all roads, to concentrate on the road and drive to the conditions. “Everyone has to understand when they’re behind the wheel, that the car they’re driving is a weapon that can do a lot of damage to yourself and to someone else. “A licence is not a right, it’s a privilege and every driver owes it to themselves and to their families to drive to the conditions and concentrate on the road.”

1186167-23-15

LOWERING the speed limit on two major roads travelled by Yarra Ranges residents, will hopefully save lives. In April, VicRoads announced a 10-kilometre section of the Goulburn Valley Highway between Molesworth and Yea would have its speed limit lowered. Over the past five years 11 crashes occurred on the stretch of highway, resulting in the death of eight people and serious injuries to 13 people. The death of Yarra Glen mum Kelly Crowley and her son Ethan, in March, sparked further calls for the speed to be lowered. The stretch of Healesville-Kooweerup Road at Yellingbo where 19-yearold Sharmaine Blyth lost her life on 19 April, has also had its speed limit lowered. The crash in which Sharmaine died was the fourth serious crash in six months on that stretch. TAC Senior Manager Road Safety Samantha Cockfield said that while reducing speed limits wasn’t always the first option, it was something that can be applied immediately where a need is identified. She said there is a greater understanding now about the human body’s tolerance to absorbing energy. “We understand that for a headon crash, when you have cars coming towards each other, normally we can withstand about 70kp/h - a 140km/h head-on speed,” she said. “When setting speed limits a 100km/h closing speed, even with some braking, it’s unlikely you will get down to a surviving speed without one of the parties severely injured or killed. “So, we understand more about how we need to design the road system and make speed limits to be safe, and we also understand some of the design features such as barriers and other infrastructure. “Where we have seen a number of crashes that have involved issues where we think lowering the speed limit can help, it’s clearly incumbent on us to do that.” She said speed limits addressed a range of issues such as, head-on crashes and run-off road crashes, and they work for a volume of road users. “There will be a range of reasons

Winter MARKETS Unearthing hidden market treasures A Mail News Advertising Feature

LOCATED in the foothills of the Yarra Ranges, St Andrews Community Market oozes a passion for fresh, handmade, recycled and creative products. You will never know what treasures you will find each week. The community market provides a great variety of handmade art and craft items, with unique local and imported items available. They also provide fresh and organic produce. Market-goers can choose from all these wonderful items, while also available are massage, buskers and vintage/retro goods. There is something for everyone at the

market, with delicious vegetarian and gluten-free options, as well as chai tent and pony rides. The aim of the market is to be a place for people to sell their handmade, unique or pre-loved items while being a place for people to gather on a Saturday in a friendly or casual environment. To provide extra accessibility, the community bus runs each Saturday from Hurtsbridge to the market for just a gold coin donation. There are special events regularly, such as workshops most weekends, which vary, as well as a children’s festival the first

weekend of the school holidays. Each December is the annual twilight market. The market has been in operation for more than 40 years, and has a long history. Each week, there is always something new and different to see. It is open every Saturday, rain, hail or shine (closed on days of total fire ban). Being a short drive from Melbourne, it’s a great way to get out of the city and to meet friends (or make new ones) and be entertained by great buskers, while enjoying the great food and coffee available each week.

Great food and coffee is available each week.

“VALE our Mrs Coldstream”. The words with which John Brown closed his tribute to Val Sheehan at her farewell ‘garden party’, brought smiles and nods of recognition that Val was indeed ‘Mrs Coldstream’. Speaking as vice-president of the Lilydale and District Historical Society, Mr Brown’s tribute was one of many that highlighted Val’s love of and commitment to her home town. People from all walks of life sat in the sunshine in the Coldstream garden of Val’s daughter, Christine, to pay respects to ‘Mrs Coldstream’. She was remembered as an articulate, kind and caring woman with a quiet determination and a generous spirit. Valda was born at Koondrook on 2 April 1927, the second of Bill and May Skate’s eight children. She was 16 when the Skate family moved to Coldstream in 1943 and she would have been 88 on the day of her ‘garden party’. Her brother Les Skate painted a picture of a typical, happy rural childhood in Barham and said Val was a top student. She obtained her Intermediate Certificate and received a scholarship to Dacomb’s Business College in Melbourne where she worked for a time after graduating. Locally, Val worked at the Coldstream Post Office and General Store and then at Spicer’s Shoe Factory in Lilydale.

She met husband-to-be Kevin Sheehan at the Yarra Glen Dance and it was a happy day for the Sheehans when they bought the timber cottage on the corner of Station Street and Maroondah Highway. It was where they raised their five children, Kathleen, Rosemary, Christine, Eileen and Will, and it was right in the centre of town. The Sheehan home became a gathering place for friends of the Sheehan kids and their mum was loved and respected by all as Auntie Val. In the early years the local football and cricket ground was the paddock behind the Sheehan home and Val was a staunch supporter, renowned for her excellent finals’ banners. After Kevin’s death, Val continued to work for several families in the area. She became a lifelong friend to those she worked for, including Pamela Lady Vestey, granddaughter of Melba, for whom she worked for 39 years. She became a close friend and companion and worked at Coombe Cottage right up until the last two weeks of her life. Pamela Lady Vestey nominated Val for a Yarra Ranges Council Certificate of Recognition in 2005 for her contribution to the Coldstream area, part of which had been researching the vast collection of information held at Coombe Cottage on Melba. History was Val’s ultimate passion and part of that was recognising, in words, and in deed, the men of the district who served in war. She and Les were instrumental in erecting the Cold-

stream and Yering War Memorial which was unveiled in 1995. Val joined the Lilydale and District Historical Society in 1990 and was made a life member in 2008 for her outstanding contribution to researching and recording of local history for the old Shire of Lillydale. Years of research into the history of Coldstream, Gruyere, Yering and Killara resulted in four books, with a fifth still to be published. In September last year she was presented with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria Award of Merit by the RHS president. Mr Brown said Val had left a wonderful legacy. “She was a quiet achiever, she held wise counsel, she listened, she was a doer, she had great knowledge, she was a tireless researcher, she had an inquiring mind and she had a spirit of calm,” he said. It wasn’t all work for Val, however. Myrna McBain remembered Val as a friend who was a staunch Hawthorn supporter, loved a good cup of coffee, tennis on the TV, sprucing up second-hand dolls, visiting the Wandin auction rooms, long phone calls about plants and gardens, feeding the magpies in her garden, going to the movies and family outings. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother and a great support to her family. Val passed away after a short illness on 27 March. Coldstream’s sweetheart, and much-loved matriarch will be greatly missed by her loving family and all who knew her. - KATH GANNAWAY

Reconciled through sport By JESSE GRAHAM RECONCILIATION Week kicked off literally last week at Worawa Aboriginal College, when the school held its annual Reconciliation Sports Carnival with more than a dozen schools. The carnival was held on Tuesday 26 May, with 13 schools gathering at the campus for a day of sports and music under the banner of Reconciliation Week. The event coincided with National Sorry Day, which aims to remember the mistreatment of the Indigenous population, such those who became part of the Stolen Generation. Worawa College executive director Aunty Lois Peeler said the carnival exemplified the spirit of reconciliation, with schools from around the Yarra Valley and the state competing. “Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can join the national reconciliation effort,” Ms Peeler said. “Worawa Aboriginal College truly values the relationship with schools that take part in our annual Reconciliation Sports Carnival. “The day truly exemplifies the Spirit of Reconciliation and was a fantastic day for all participants.” At the carnival, the Eaglehawks took on Melbourne Grammar School in a football match, facing off while a netball tournament

was held between many of the visiting schools. Though the footy match was hard-fought, MGS came out on top by four points, scoring 12.05 (77) against the Eaglehawks’ 10.13 (73). Regional Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee (RAJAC) executive officer Tom Bell said the Eaglehawks was a team sponsored by the Hawthorn Football Club, and was part of an initiative to engage with young Indigenous men. “We’re engaging with young men under the age of 21 with positive opportunities, whether they’re physical out on the field, or educational, with training that’s practical for employment opportunities,” Mr Bell said. “We work around trying to close the gap between the incarceration rate of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.” Reconciliation Week is held from Wednesday 27 May to Wednesday 3 June.

Gutsy second-half rally By JUDY ORREN DIVISION 1 SENIORS Belgrave 14.11 (95) d Healesville 10.13 (73) BELGRAVE came from 14 points down at halftime to claim a 22-point victory in a gutsy performance. Healesville really should have been further ahead at the half but wasted its chances, booting 7.10 to 6.2, which kept Belgrave within striking distance. Belgrave really started to get on top in the third, with some hard running, and booted 4 goals to 1 to go into the last break with an 8-point advantage. The last quarter saw Belgrave stretch its lead as it finished the day booting 4 goals to 2 to run over Healesville in the second half and come away with a great victory. Belgrave best players: P. Gough, D. Collins, J. Brown (3 goals) Healesville best players: A. Hamer (3 goals), B. Nicholls (1 goal), A. Miller Warburton Millgrove 16.15 (111) d Mount Evelyn 16.10 (106) WARBY held off a fast-finishing Mount Evelyn to hold on to win by five points in a thriller. Warby looked terrific in the first half as their long kicking running game was paying dividends and they went to the main break with a 27-point lead. Mount Evelyn played a much more accountable game in the third and they were able to peg the margin back to just 16 points at the last change after a 5 goals to 3 term. The last quarter was a cracker as Mount Evelyn kept coming. They did manage to score five goals and finish well, but Warby was able to slot three majors, which was enough to keep their noses in front, come final siren Warby breathed one big sigh of relief as they recorded a much-needed victory. Warburton Millgrove best players: J. Iacono, T. Walker, A. Joyce (1 goal) Mount Evelyn best players: D. Cope, M. Duke, B. Doyle. Wandin 19.20 (134) d Monbulk 15.11 (101) THIS was a pretty high class game and even though Wandin was in control for the majority of the play, Monbulk certainly made them work for their victory. Wandin led by 24 points at the half but wasn’t playing their normal fast-paced style. However, that all changed in the third as they got their run up and going, booting seven goals. Monbulk wasn’t playing bad as they did slot four majors, but Wandin’s lead had blown out to 43 points at three-quarter time. The last quarter was a bit of a goal feast, and Monbulk did finish the day strong, outscoring Wandin 7 goals to 5, but this game was always in Wandin’s keeping, despite Monbulk’s best efforts. Wandin best players: R. Ross (1 goal), J. Taylor, J. Bayliss (1 goal). Monbulk best players: D. Ward (3 goals), M. Langworthy (3 goals), J. Major. Woori Yallock 11.9 (75) d Olinda Ferny Creek 7.13 (55) THIS was a low-scoring game but a cracking contest for the majority of the day.

Hayden Smith (Woori Yallock) gains some space on his man and takes a clear mark. 139883 Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY

Marcus Baxter (Woori Yallock) kicks clear from the pack. 139884 Olinda held just a three-point lead at the half after a goal-for-goal first two quarters. The third term was a real battle with both sides scoring just one goal and Olinda’s lead was just five points at the last change. Woori showed why they have won the past three flags as their experience came to the fore in the last quarter. Their ball movement was first class, and they finished full of run as they rammed on 6 lastquarter goals to 2 to come away with a 20-point win on the back of an impressive last quarter. Woori Yallock best players: J. Adams, H. Smith (2 goals), M. Lowe. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: K. Currie, D. Noorda, J. Wallis Upwey Tecoma 13.7 (85) d Yarra Glen 11.10 (76) THIS clash was a great contest, with the result still in doubt deep into the last quarter. The first half went goal for goal and it was Yarra Glen that grabbed a narrow 5-point lead at the main break. The third term was another tight contest, with both sides slotting three goals and Yarra Glen’s lead was just seven points going into the last quarter. Upwey showed some great composure in the last as they seemed to look a little more experienced compared to their counterparts, which ultimately was the difference in the end. They booted 5 goals to 2 to turn the threequarter time, 7-point deficit and turn it into a good 9-point victory. Upwey Tecoma best players: K. Hinton (1 goal), B. Sheppard (2 goals), N. Waterman. Yarra Glen best players: J. Ball, C. Tait, M. Ashton. DIVISION 2 SENIORS Kinglake 19.14 (128) d Alexandra 2.10 (22) THIS game started off even enough, with Kinglake booting 3 goals to Alexandra’s 2 in the first term. Unfortunately, that was the only two goals for Alexandra for the day as Kinglake dominated the

remainder of the game. Kinglake went on its merry way after quarter time, booting six goals in the second term, then followed that up with five goals in the third and fourth quarters to come away with a 106-point victory to continue on their winning way. Kinglake best players: J. Walker (1 goal), A. Bott, A. McLaren. Alexandra best players: B. Cooper (1 goal), J. Steyger, W. Goonan. Powelltown 12.16 (88) d Seville 12.12 (84) THIS was arguably the game of the round, with no more than a goal separating the sides at any change. Powelltown led by just five points at quarter time, but with a little more steadiness could have been further in front as they did have five more scoring shots. Powelltown’s lead only increased to one goal at the half as both sides slotted two goals for the term. The third term was still a goal-for-goal affair, but it was Seville who just got the edge, booting 3 goals to 2 and they held a 4-point lead at threequarter time. The last term was a nail-biting affair. Powelltown did have more opportunities as they booted 5.5 for the term, while Seville managed 4.4. But it wasn’t enough, as Powelltown held on to win by four points in an absolute thriller. Powelltown best players: J. Mullan (4 goals), M. Pote, J. Moore. Seville best players: S. Wilson (1 goal), L. Casini (2 goals), N. O’Keefe (5 goals). Gembrook Cockatoo 14.14 (98) d Yarra Junction 13.9 (87) THIS was a great contested first half, with Yarra Junction leading by just one point at the main break. But Gembrook broke the game open in the third, with some great run to produce a stellar 7 goals to 1 term, all of a sudden they had a matchwinning 34-point lead at the last break. Yarra Junction did all they could in the last to bring themselves back into the game and they did boot seven goals, but Gembrook was able to score three majors which saw them win by 11 points, thanks to their third-quarter effort. Gembrook Cockatoo best players: S. Richardson (7 goals), R. Causer (1 goal), R. Wilson (2 goals). Yarra Junction best players: D. Williams (2 goals), J. Chenhall (5 goals), T. Hall. Thornton-Eildon 14.15 (99) d Yea 4.13 (37) THORNTON was never in any real trouble from the outset of this game, as they got out to a 20-point lead at quarter time and then stretched that margin to 39 points by the main break. The third term was one to forget, as both sides scored just one goal, but Thornton was still in complete control. Thornton finished the day well, booting five goals in the last while holding Yea scoreless to win by 62 points in a game that didn’t produce a lot of highlights, but, nevertheless, a good win to Thornton overall.

BACK at Queens Park for their first home game for five weeks, Healesville teams took on Bayswater, Emerald and Gembrook-Cockatoo. The Under 9s had a tight game against Gembrook-Cockatoo, with both teams scoring well. Bayswater out-classed the Under 12 Girls, but to the Healesville girls’ credit, they made the most of their scoring opportunities with five goals. The Under 10s prevailed in a close encounter with GembrookCockatoo. Trailing at quarter time, the victory was set up by strong second and third quarters, where they were able to outrun the opposition and move the ball quickly. The Under 11s were looking for their first win of the season against Emerald. They tackled, ran hard and created scoring opportunities, but couldn’t capitalise on the scoreboard to finish off with a win. The Under 12s faced off against second on the ladder Gembrook-Cockatoo. They turned in another impressive display of attacking, free flowing football. Every line did their bit and the team should be proud of the way they shared the ball around, linked up and hit the scoreboard. Gembrook-Cockatoo put together a strong third quarter into the wind, and it was 'game on’ at

Healesville players from left Cody Anderson, Corey Agnew, Harrison Baxter and Cameron Nyko. the final break. But Healesville lifted the intensity in the last term and finished strongly - a great team effort. The Under 14s had a tough assignment against a much higher

ranked opposition in GembrookCockatoo. The boys fought out the game, but struggled against the bigger opposition. The rain came in time for the start of the Under 16s game

between Healesville and Gembrook-Cockatoo. Inaccurate kicking by Healesville in the first half kept Gembrook-Cockatoo in the game at half-time. The boys put in a big

effort in the second half to run out comfortable winners. Under 16s Healesville 10.19 (79) d Gembrook-Cockatoo 4.4 (28) Goals: D. Senior 4, G. Schiavello 2, J. Methven, C. Fulford, M. Morton, M.
