Beat back bushfires By PETER DOUGLAS BUSHFIRE risk mitigation in the Dandenong Ranges took a giant leap forward last week, thanks to the first round of a $2.04 million initiative. Federal Member for La Trobe, Jason Wood, attended Emerald Lake last Friday to announce the roll-out of the initiative, which will assist many environmentally conscious community groups. These include the Belgrave Heights/South CFA, the Belgrave South Fuel Management Project, Puffing Billy Railway Environment Improvement and Bushfire Risk Landscape Project. Mr Wood said it was important to assist these groups, which contributed so greatly. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those groups represented on the board of the grants program,” he said. “Their work was incredibly difficult as we had a high calibre of applications to consider.”

Funded through the Federal Government’s National Landcare Program, the initiative delivers funding from as little as $2000, to as much as $300,000. The grants will help local groups undertake important work to reduce the impact of pest animals, improve the habitat through native plantings, as well as reduce the fuel load by removing woody weeds and other invasive plants. Upon announcement of the initiative, Mr Wood foresaw great benefits. “For communities living in the Dandenong Ranges, the threat of bushfires is something that locals have to deal with every year,” he said. “The area is one of the world’s most fire-sensitive locations. “This initiative will make the Dandenong Ranges less susceptible to bushfire and allow native flora and fauna to grow and flourish.” Mr Wood said the driving force behind the program was to encourage initiative. Groups are encouraged to develop innovative, pragmatic solutions to help manage the bushfire risk. Mr Wood encouraged anyone who is interested in applying for round two of the grants to start looking into the process.

Ready to stomp off to the ‘G’ By PETER DOUGLAS FERNTREE GULLY fitness enthusiast Michael Muscat will soon be trudging up and down the AFL’s favourite stomping ground. As part of a unique charity effort, Mr Muscat, 57, will take stair climbing and endurance to a whole new level as part of this year’s Stadium Stomp MCG. To raise money for a nominated charity, he will join thousands of other fund-raisers in tackling the 7343 steps on the top and bottom seating levels of the MCG. After completing the event last year, Mr Muscat said he was expecting a painful yet rewarding experience. “It’s really difficult but a good challenge,” he said. “Once you get up to the higher tiers, it really burns. “It is interesting to see the MCG from a different perspective though.” Adding to his motivation, Mr Muscat had a kidney removed a few years ago due to cancer. “Having cancer gave me a completely new perspective on things,” he said. “I’ve been setting myself various challenges to stay fit and healthy since then, and this is one of those challenges.” Mr Muscat said he had been training regularly through cycling and walking the 1000 Steps. More information at www. stadiumstomp.com.au/MCG.

Colin Lear will continue his ongoing support of St Vincent de Paul.

FERNTREE Gully based businessman Colin Lear will soon brave a cold winter night, all in the name of helping the homeless. The chief executive officer of Tasty Fresh Food will take part in the St Vincent de Paul event, CEO Sleepout, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Thursday, 18 June.

In fact, since 1995, Mr Lear has committed to putting food wastage to better use, through donating huge quantities of soup that has not sold during the day. Mr Lear said this had helped many people. “Over the past two decades, we have donated over $15 million in fresh food

stock to Vinnies soup vans,” he said. “This serves hundreds of meals to the homeless and needy across Melbourne each and every day.” In Victoria alone, there are an estimated 23,000 homeless every night. To sponsor a CEO, visit www.ceosleepout.org.au.

Holy Fools charity back on its wheels

Briefly Woman faces drug charges A MOUNT Evelyn woman will face court after being arrested on theft and drugs charges earlier this month. The 25-year-old Mount Evelyn woman was arrested on Friday 5 June, and charged with theft from a motor vehicle, credit card offences and possession of drugs. She will appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

By JESSE GRAHAM AN ANONYMOUS generous donor has provided Lilydale charity Holy Fools with a van, to replace the one that was robbed earlier this year. CEO Neal Taylor said the organisation had received “enormous” support from the community after the charity’s Swansea Road office was broken into in March, with the charity’s van stolen and later found damaged beyond repair. But the ultimate support came down from an anonymous donor, who got in contact to help the charity get back onto their feet - or wheels. “The lady had donated previously to us and knew the situation we were in,” Mr Taylor said. “And she knew that we were looking to raise a few more dollars than the payout for our insurance, because the quality of vans around that price wasn’t very high. “She said she’d rather we use our money for looking after people and doing what we do best, and that she’d cover the cost of the van.” As for the other items taken in the robbery, Mr Taylor said Holy Fools’ stocks of food had been replenished by an outpouring of support after the theft. “We’re just really thankful for the support of the community and for everyone who has looked out for the

Criminal damage charges laid A TEENAGER has been remanded in custody after being arrested for criminal damage and theft last week. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said the 18-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday 9 June, in relation to multiple criminal damage and theft incidents in the Lilydale area. Det Sgt Smithwick said the man had been remanded in custody, and would appear in court at a later date.

Police probe home break-in POLICE are searching for information after a home in Ferny Creek was broken into last week, though the would-be burglars made off empty-handed. Between 9am on 6 June and 9.30am on 9 June, unknown persons smashed a bathroom window at a property on School Road in Ferny Creek. Though the property had been accessed, police believe nothing was taken in the incident, and are asking for any witnesses to the break-in to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

lor said the organisation was hoping to get them replaced, as they weren’t covered by insurance. But he said the group was moving on to bigger and better projects, starting up a new Street Angels’ barbecue Outreach in Yarra Junction on Thursday 11 June.

On the heels of van thief POLICE are hunting a van thief after a factory in Kilsyth was broken into last week. Between 7am and 10.30pm on Saturday 6 June, unknown persons broke into a yard at an industrial property on Canterbury Road in Kilsyth. A van was stolen from the yard, which was later found burnt out on Cornish Road in Lysterfield, on Thursday 11 June. Anyone with information, or who may have witnessed the break-in is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Four in drug net By JESSE GRAHAM FOUR HEALESVILLE residents will front court in October after drug raids were carried out in Healesville last week. Police from Healesville, Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) and Croydon Divisional Tasking Unit raided two Don Road properties, a Maroondah Highway property and a Joffre Road property before 9am on Thursday 11 June. Healesville Police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said the raids were conducted as part of a local investigation on ice (crystal methamphetamine), which also involved the Police Dog Squad. “Basically, the situation is that, as the result of an ongoing local drug investigation, four search warrants were conducted in the Healesville area,” Sgt Thomson said. “As a result of the warrants, a

number of drugs, paraphernalia, stolen property and firearms were seized.” After the raids, a 39-year-old Healesville man was charged with use and possession of a drug of dependence, proceeds of crime and handling stolen goods. A 25-year-old Healesville woman was charged with the possession and trafficking of a drug of dependence, while a 25-year-old Healesville man has been charged with possession and trafficking a drug of dependence, handling stolen goods and proceeds of crime. A 20-year-old Healesville man was charged with firearms offences. All three drug offences were in relation to ice, but Sgt Thomson said drugs were not found at all of the properties searched. Cannabis was also found during the searches.

Nabbed while pilfering spirits AN 18-year-old man will face court after being caught trying to steal alcohol from a Mount Dandenong business last week. On Friday 12 June at 3pm, an 18-yearold man allegedly entered a bottle shop at a Mount Dandenong business and attempted to steal a six-pack of mixed alcoholic drinks. Olinda Police Sergeant Andrew Herdman said the man was apprehended by staff at the venue and was charged with theft by police. Sgt Hermand said the man was local to the area. He will be summonsed to Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Police arrested a 25-year-old Healesville woman at one of the properties. 140401 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM The four will appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 16 October three of the group were bailed, but the 25-year-old Healesville man has been remanded in custody. Sgt Thomson urged residents to continue providing police with information on suspicious activity, via

Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or through local stations. “Don’t accept it in your own backyard - be pro-active,” Sgt Thomson said. Confidential crime reports can also be filed at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Community of certainty By JESSE GRAHAM

Boost for occasional care By PETER DOUGLAS

DRERS manager Tania Bevan, founder Frank Watson and Yarra Ranges mayor, Maria McCarthy. 140404 Picture: PETER DOUGLAS meeting, Cr Len Cox said the funding acknowledged the work of volunteers and those in community groups in the area. “We get better value for money for this than anything else we do,” he said. “It’s council’s move to help the community and community groups

to do the things they think ought to be done, and will improve living in our community generally. “Every one of them is worthwhile.” Community houses across the shire also received funding under the grants, though Cr Noel Cliff noted that the funding varied from group

to group, ranging from $13,000 to $62,000. A council representative at the meeting, responding to Cr Cliff, said there was a plan to make funding for community houses more ‘equitable’ in the future. For a full list of recipients, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

AFTER pleading for greater participation for its service last month, Selby Community House has received a much-needed boost. Though far from enjoying a revival, the immediate future looks much brighter after participation rates dwindled significantly earlier this year. Last month co-ordinators sent out an appeal to the community, saying that it was either “use it or lose it”. But director, Carol McCoy, said things were looking brighter and reported an additional eight new children on their list. “We couldn’t have asked for a better response from the community,” she said. “You just couldn’t have imagined it ... getting eight new children.” Ms McCoy said the future was still far from secure and encouraged further participation and engagement from the community. Occasional childcare is offered to cover the gap in long-day childcare. The service is mostly for stay-at-home mums who are studying, or who need the time to do shopping or run errands.

COMMUNITY groups in the hills will have funding certainty for the coming three years, after Yarra Ranges councillors unanimously passed partnership grants last week. At their meeting on Tuesday, 9 June, councillors unanimously endorsed the council’s 2016 partnership grants, which will provide funds to 40 community groups across the shire. The groups will share in $748,762 in funding over the coming three years, after having applications to the council reviewed by an expert panel of two members and a Yarra Ranges manager. Belgrave Survival Day will receive $30,000 in the grants, while the Dandenong Ranges Music Council Inc will receive $111,000 for developing its music-based activities. Emergency relief organisations also fared well in the funding pool, with the Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service Inc (DRERS) being awarded $73,902. The money will help DRERS to continue employing a qualified manager to supervise about 60 volunteers at the organisation, who help about 150 people per month with relief services. Yarra Ranges mayor, Maria McCarthy, said the funding meant that groups across the Yarra Ranges could have certainty of being funded for the coming years. “It will enable council to work more closely with these groups - to help them provide the services and skills they need, to support what they’re trying to achieve for their groups,” Cr McCarthy said.

Right royal result for rozzers on road By JESSE GRAHAM DRINK drivers busted over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend have sharply dropped in number, compared to last year, but speedsters have still taken to Yarra Ranges roads in their hundreds. Last week, Victoria Police released the results of Operation Regal, a state-wide operation run over the Queen’s Birthday weekend from Friday 5 to Monday 8 June. In the Yarra Ranges, five drivers were charged with drink driving over the weekend, a drop of more than 70 per cent from last year’s result of 17 drink drivers being caught. But 221 drivers were issued with speeding fines on the weekend, and Acting Superintendent David Griffin, commenting on the state-wide

results, said work needed to be done. Supt Griffin said that 2100 drivers were tested for drugs, with 182 returning a positive result - four of these drivers were caught in the Yarra Ranges. “Seeing one in 12 drivers testing positive for drugs is a real concern,” he said. Unregistered vehicles, unlicensed or disqualified drivers were also an issue for police over the operation, with more than 1500 offences recorded state-wide across the three categories. In the Yarra Ranges, 21 drivers were found with unregistered vehicles, six drivers were caught driving while unlicensed and six were caught driving while disqualified or suspended.

Editorial

Overall, state-wide offences recorded over the weekend dropped by 13 per cent, but Supt Griffin said drivers were continuing to behave dangerously. “It is also worrying that 2345 people were caught speeding and 263 were using their mobile phones,” he said. “This dangerous behaviour could easily have ended in tragedy and I hope those caught will learn their lesson before their families receive a knock at the door from one of our officers.” Four drivers were caught driving while using their mobile phones in the Yarra Ranges, 14 drivers were found to be disobeying signs or signals and three people were caught travelling without a seatbelt. The neighbouring police ser-

vice area of Cardinia, meanwhile, recorded much lower offences over the weekend, with only 73 speeding drivers caught, 10 unregistered vehicles and one mobile phone offence handed out. Drivers continued to use the road illegally, however, with four unlicensed drivers and seven disqualified or suspended drivers caught driving. One driver was charged for drunk driving, and no drivers were found to be under the influence of drugs or driving without seatbelts. Yarra Ranges and Cardinia police officers each impounded one vehicle over the weekend. The Mail repeatedly approached the Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol for comment about Operation Regal, but did not receive a response by deadline.

Lenscape

Lightning rod is close to home FEDERAL Treasurer Joe Hockey did more than just cause a stir over his ‘get a good job, get a house’ remarks. Whether intentional or not, Mr Hockey has taken the pent-up frustrations over housing affordability in Australia and intensified them to even greater heights. Mr Hockey seems to have touched a nerve with the public consciousness in Australia, which is dangerous territory for any politician. How this plays out for the Liberal Party is anyone’s guess, but this debate could quickly see rapid change in the Australian political landscape. In the ensuing weeks, debate may centre around whether Mr Hockey is, in fact, correct or simply out of touch, but it goes deeper. For example, what will this mean for the Yarra Valley region? Plenty, given our location on the urban fringe. This is simply because the answer to the housing affordability conundrum almost inevitably shifts in the one direction, to-

wards building more houses. While it may be simplistic in approach, historically this has been the stock answer among financial commentators and those who wish to promote a rampedup economy. As house prices in and around the central business district become more out of reach, this could place greater pressure on fringe areas to open up more land. While for the foreseeable future, there will be most likely little impact. But one could argue this may be not the case in another five years’ time, particularly if fears of a housing bubble become more of a reality. If this is the case, we must at least consider the prospect of increased pressure on preserving present zoning in the Yarra Ranges. Whether that is negative or positive is not the point. The point being made is, this debate may at some stage increase to levels not before experienced in this region.

LOCAL happy snapper Kalli Blunt recently took this beautiful image at the car park of Mount Donna Buang. The happy snapper said she took it for her sons, Max, Perry and Liam.

Feel free to let us know about your inspiration behind the image, or photography techniques you may have tried.

Letters Amendment wrong approach I AM writing in response to the ‘Mail’ article (“Intense ‘free range’ heat”, 2 June, page 5). Currently in the Shire of Yarra Ranges you cannot be issued with a permit to conduct intensive animal husbandry such as piggeries, feedlots and broiler farms. For the hundreds of people who signed the petition saying no to Amendment C146, this is a good thing. They don’t want the offensive odours, negative environmental impacts and concerns over animal welfare that go hand in glove with such enterprises. Introducing Amendment C 146 would mean that in the future it ‘would’ be possible for these sorts of enterprises to be issued with a permit. And once the amendment was introduced, there would be no guarantee that in the future piggeries, feedlots and broiler farms would not be permitted in our shire. The council may say it wishes to promote free range farming, but introducing this amendment is not the way to go about it. “Free range is free range,” says Cr Jim Child. Yes it is. And it does not require a permit. So why change the legislation? “Farming is done differently now,” says Cr Child. Right again. In the past 40 years, pig meat production has increased by over 50 per cent while the number of pig producers has dropped from 40,000 to just 1868. This has only been possible because these animals are now kept in ‘factory farms’: large industrialised complexes where animals are kept in a state of permanent confinement. In the mid-1960s, feedlotting started in Australia. About 40 per cent of Australia’s total beef supply is from the expanding feedlot sector. And it is these that could be permitted by introducing the amendment. In a letter sent to residents by council it is stated that “intensive animal husbandry can also be less intense free range farms where animals are not kept in enclosures” and “any farm where most food comes from outside the enclosures, i.e. the animals are not solely grazing, fall within the classification of intensive animal husbandry.” Such farms may be labelled “free range”, but it doesn’t mean council should be promoting them. If feed for stock must be supplemented by food imported into a property, it indicates that stock numbers cannot be supported by the carrying capacity of the land they are kept on. Stock levels above the carrying capacity of the land leads to destruction of ground cover due to over-grazing. Soil exposure and subsequent erosion due to wind and rain action follows. Loss of topsoil means the enterprise cannot be sustainable as without soil in which to grow no feed can be produced. This is not the sort of “free range” farming the council should want to support either. If the council’s aim is to promote sustainable free range farming, then I fully support them. But they aren’t going to do it by introducing Amendment C146. Marilyn Comerford, Seville.

A big tick for liquor By PETER DOUGLAS AND JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Ranges Shire Council has paved the way for Montrose IGA to relocate its packaged liquor store to a larger main street location. At its meeting, council unanimously passed an application that will see a stand-alone IGA liquor store open at 924 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, despite objections from the community. Objectors’ key concerns over the application included community safety, anti-social behaviour among youth and the visual prominence of the location. However, some councillors believed there was a strong case for the location shift. Cr Len Cox, whose Walling ward includes Montrose, said the decision would have benefits for local consumers. “The ... advantage with this is the applicant plans to enlarge the grocery section for the existing supermarket, which will make it more cosy again for shoppers,” Cr Cox said. In addition, Cr Cox noted the applicants believed the larger independent store would be beneficial for local producers, because the regions’ liquor products would be better showcased. Cr Cox played down concerns over negative social impacts. “With any application for a licensed premises ... there is always a lot of angst from sections of the community and I understand that,” Cr Cox said. “However, it’s not normally caused by retail bottle shop actions, but the

Cr Len Cox believes the new liquor store could help promote local brewers and vignerons. 140317 Picture: ROB CAREW pubs and nightclubs where there are a large number of people. “There’s usually a late night when people would drink to excess. “For the life of me, I can’t see how a bigger premises is going to cause more social issues than the current one.” Cr Cox said police had not reported any major drinking problems in and around the Montrose shopping centre.

Cr Cox’s position gained support from Cr Jim Child. “I think it’s the appropriate building and it’s right in the middle of the shopping centre,” he said. “For mine, it gives a good use of that type of building for that type of business.” At the council meeting, an objector addressed council to cite theirs and others’ concerns.

One issue raised was that a walkway runs up the side of the new premises, which is used by children on bikes. The concern is they would not be expecting an increase in deliveries and vehicles. Others included the size and scale of the shop. Did council make the right decision? Let us know and email editor@ mailnewsgroup.com.au.

Once bitten, council undeterred KNOX City Council last week lost its High Court case to have a Staffordshire terrier destroyed under dangerous dog legislation. Reportedly costing the council $600,000 in court fees, the case involved a dog called Izzy, who has been held by the RSPCA while the court case took place. Izzy was involved in a bite incident that has been described as serious. In a media statement, Mayor Peter Lockwood said council was disappointed, but would respect the ruling. “We defended this case purely on the grounds of public safety,” Cr Lockwood said. “Council did not initiate this High Court action, but chose to defend its actions in the interests of community safety. “We are keen to examine the judgment in detail, and will be able to comment further at a later stage. “But we want to stress to our community that this judgment will not stop council from putting public safety first in future. “We will do everything in our power to keep any dangerous dogs off our streets.”

Silver marked with life award By KATH GANNAWAY FRIENDS of the Helmeted Honeyeater (FOHH) has been recognised for 25 years of achievement at the 2015 Zoos Victoria’s Hall of Fame Awards. The group, which has 200 members and is based at the Yellingbo Nature Reserve, was awarded the Honorary Life Achievement Award. Melbourne Zoo’s Leopard Lodge was transformed into a forest wonderland in celebration of Victoria’s bird emblem, the Helmeted Honeyeater for the awards which were attended by Premier Daniel Andrews, the Hon Alex Chernov AC QC, Governor of Victoria, Mrs Elizabeth Chernov, and Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water Lisa Neville. The Hall of Fame celebrates the outstanding people and supportive organisations that have made a significant contribution to Zoos Victoria.

Premier Daniel Andrews presented the Honorary Life Achievement Award to the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater for the group’s tireless work in the recovery of the iconic Victorian species. In addition to the Lifetime Achievement Award, Charles Tegner of the Merrin Foundation was awarded the Fighting Extinction Award for his work supporting Zoos Victoria’s Helmeted Honeyeater breeding program. FOHH was represented at the awards dinner by Environmental co-ordinator James Frazer and secretary Marita Hanigan. Ms Hanigan thanked Zoos Victoria and the many government and funding orgnaisations who contributed to the work of FOHH. Included were founder the late Steve Craig and president Bob Anderson and vice- presi-

dent Richard Case, who have been active members for the life of the group. She also recognised field ornithologist Bruce Quin. “Without his 22-plus years of work, we would not have had the good outcomes we are now looking at,” she said. Ms Hanigan said, “80,000 plants don’t grow themselves,” acknowledging the work of the nursery staff and volunteers. Her ‘biggest thanks’ went to all the volunteers and members. “I am very proud of them all and what collectively we have achieved,” she said. Both Premier Andrews and Minister Neville acknowledged the role of volunteers, staff and other organisations saying it was their outstanding work that made Victorian zoos the best in Australia.

Visual feast on display

Goodbye Aloha

By PETER DOUGLAS

Aloha Starring Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams

TWO of the most talented artists in the Dandenong Ranges have served up a visual delight for local enthusiasts. Burrinja studio artists, Katherine Reynolds and Jessie Yvette Journoud-Ryan, have prepared an incredible exhibition, called ‘Mimicry’, in the Jambi gallery at the Upweybased community centre. Among the artworks for the public to enjoy are a range of collages, paintings, projection installations and sculptural mosaics. Ms Journoud-Ryan said she and her fellow artist seemed destined to be involved in this exhibition. “Katherine and I have followed similar paths in terms of education, yet our paths have only crossed at Burrinja,” she said. “We both, at different occasions, studied at Upwey High School. “Then at Swinburne TAFE for visual arts, then at Monash University.” Ms Reynolds is involved in numerous local initiatives and last year was a recipient of a local art award. Meanwhile, Ms Journoud-Ryan said the exhibition would also be a farewell. “I will be leaving my studio at Burrinja after almost three years to set up from home and further my art,” she said.

RATED PG for mild themes and coarse language, Aloha is a sleep-inducing, catastrophic wreck of a movie. Brian Gilcrest (Bradley Cooper) is a military contractor stationed in Hawaii to secure a blessing for a public project, but soon gets involved in more serious matters. Who would have thought that an innocent romantic comedy would challenge Fifty Shades of Grey as worst film of the year? Cooper is a charming actor, but his character is a self-absorbed jerk, and Emma Stone (as his air force liaison Captain Allison Ng) is annoyingly earnest and over-the-top. Most of the character development is dryly told to us through contrived dialogue. The plot is empty and lacking in conflict, and the romantic interactions are never convincing, full of shallow overreactions and an off-putting age-gap between Cooper (40) and Stone (26). Critics and audiences have criticised Aloha for depicting a very white Hawaii, when in fact only about a quarter of Hawaiians are Caucasian. The film pays lip-service to Hawaiian traditions with a weird mystical element that has no meaningful pay-off, and Gilcrest’s project receiving a blessing from native Hawaiian leaders feels almost incidental to the overall movie. The sub-plot about weaponised satellites not only feels more at home in the Reagan era, but it’s a very cynical rebuke of privatised space enterprises. On every level, Aloha is insultingly terrible. - Seth Hynes

Sausage sizzle for CFA COCKATOO IGA is having a sausage sizzle to raise money for the local CFA on Saturday 20 June. Store manager Steve McManamon is keen to meet the local community and raise funds for the CFA volunteers with this event. The IGA is donating all the sausages and bread, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Cockatoo CFA. Every sausage sold will also receive a raffle ticket to win a Jim Beam sports wheel Bluetooth speaker. Mr McManamon has been in the supermarket trade for about 16 years, and has managed supermarkets in Warburton and Olinda. He says he really loves working with the smaller and more community-focused team he has found at Cockatoo. “We’ve got local staff, and are focusing on building a close-knit team,” he said. With a dedication to community and the whole

town benefiting from the store’s trade, Mr McManamon is proud to have local employees. “We employ 11 locals, some that have been in the shop for years, and they aren’t going anywhere,” he said. Mr McManamon says he wants to run the IGA with the best interests of staff and the town in mind. “If the staff members are happy, then the customers are looked after and the whole store is happy,” he said. Depending on the success of the sausage sizzle on 20 June, IGA Cockatoo will consider holding community fund-raisers once a month or so, raising money for various community groups and organisations. So come down to IGA on McBride Street and grab a snag for the CFA, get to know Steve and say ‘hello’ to the familiar faces of the Cockatoo IGA staff.

The friendly team at Cockatoo IGA is eager to please the community.

By JESSE GRAHAM LILYDALE’S former Swinburne campus is one step closer to re-opening, after the government announced it was officially requesting proposals from providers for the site. On Monday 15 June, Minister for Skills and Training Steve Herbert joined Education Minister and Deputy Premier James Merlino and Swinburne Vice-Chancellor Professor Linda Kristjanson at the former university site to announce the government was opening a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Mr Herbert said that, over the next six weeks, TAFE and dual-sector university providers would be invited to put forward their proposals, outlining the services they would provide at the site if accepted. “There are criteria in that proposal,” he said. “It is assessed firstly on educational grounds, which is important... and secondly on value for money, to ensure whoever comes in and re-opens this facility does it with the intention of educating and educating locals at the very core of what this place will be.” Monbulk MP James Merlino said that the site would also house the new Yarra Ranges Technical School, outlined in the recent State Budget. He said that the technical school would mean students from Years 7-12 could use the facilities and interact with TAFE and university students, in a model based off Swinburne’s Wantirna campus. Bidders for the site will also

Prior to the State Election, Mr Merlino and Premier Daniel Andrews met with supporters at the padlocked Swinburne campus gates to promise the site would re-open for TAFE and university classes if Labor was elected - Mr Merlino said the announcement was the first step to fulfil that promise. “We made a commitment, not just to re-open this campus, not just to replicate what was here before, but to make it bigger and better than it ever was before,” Mr Merlino said. “We made a commitment to

return higher education to this campus, and that’s what we’re going to do.” “For me, as a local member, the single most important thing I ever do in my career, is to reopen this facility.” Mr Merlino said the community feedback had been included in the documentation, to ensure bidders knew the local expectations for the site, which closed in 2013. Yarra Ranges Council representatives joined community members and members of the Yarra Valley Educational Precinct Committee for the announcement. Mr Herbert said classes would be expected to start in early 2016.

YARRA Glen and Healesville community members were treated to a special morning tea over the weekend, when Prime Minister Tony Abbott dropped by. Mr Abbott visited the Yarra Glen and Healesville railway stations on Saturday 13 June as part of visit to see the work to restore the Yarra Valley Railway line. After arriving in Yarra Glen with Casey MP Tony Smith and getting an update on the project by YVR vice-president Brett Whelan, the group drove down to Healesville for a morning tea with community members and volunteers. In an exclusive interview with the Mail, Mr Abbott said he was impressed with the work done by YVR volunteers. “This is a tribute to the commitment, the passion and the expertise of people who are just so totally engaged with the project,” he said. He said the initiative shown by the community to get the line re-opened from Yarra Glen to Healesville was one of the considerations when the Liberal Party pledged $3.56 million before the 2013 Federal Election. “With all of these Community Support Grants, we want to

Prime Minister Tony Abbott with Yarra Valley Railway vicepresident Brett Whelan and Casey MP Tony Smith at Yarra Glen Railway Station on Saturday. 140469 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM see evidence that other people have got skin in the game,” he said. “The State Government has made a substantial contribution, and local people have made a very substantial contribution in cash and in kind. “You’ve got hundreds of people who are investing hundreds of hours - weeks, months, years of their lives - that’s something the Commonwealth should look at for support.” In a speech to the attendees, Mr Whelan said that more than 500 volunteers had clocked up more than 50,000 hours of work to restore the railway line. With the railway line set to

re-open by 2017, Mr Abbott said he would again visit the area and make use of the service himself. “Next time I’m here, I might actually ride the bike out from Melbourme and hook it onto the back of the train... then I might sag in the back of a COMCAR or something and go back the easy way,” he said to the crowd. Mr Abbott then took a tour of two of the group’s trains, had morning tea and took photos with the attendees before his departure back to Sydney.

Interleague comp: cream hand-picked By KATH GANNAWAY THE Dandenong Ranges Junior Football League’s top youngsters represented the league well over the Queen’s Birthday weekend in the annual Interleague Competition. Playing against the Frankston District League and Mornington Peninsula League at Shepley Oval, the Under 14s came out winners, with the Under 15s, 16s, 17s putting in strong performances over the weekend. DRJFL Development Squad committee member Ian Purdon said Interleague remained an important part of the league’s program, giving players an opoortunity to hone their abilities and skills in a bigger pool. “At one level, it feeds into the AFL pathway with representatives from organisations such as Eastern Ranges and Gippsland Power going along to these carnivals to look out for future prospects,” Mr Purdon said. “If that leads to AFL, that’s great. “If they go back to their clubs as better footballers, that’s good as well.”

Juniors show great spirit

The bowls arms keep all players in the game.

No barrier to bowls LAWN bowls is one of the few sports which can be played for a lifetime. There are various items of modified equipment which can enable a bowler to continue with the sport, long after their body first tells them it’s time to slow down. Even wheelchairs can be modified to allow for their use on a bowling green. A recent piece of helpful equipment is the bowler arm. With the right bowling arm, you don’t have to bend over and so a bad

knee, hip or back does not interfere with your bowling action. If age or injury has reduced your ability to get down, stay down, and deliver a bowl properly, then you are entitled to use an arm. Last year, over 1400 bowlers registered to use a bowler arm in Victoria. At Monbulk Bowling Club last week, club coach Ian Ross invited a specialist bowler arm coach to give some tips to the Monbulk users of bowler arms.

Michael Scotter, from Cranbourne, and his assistant Lindsay spent a few hours with the Monbulk bowlers. Not only did they go through the correct use of the bowler arm, but they also fired up the Monbulk bowlers’ competitive spirits. Michael emphasised that bowler arms can be used within all levels of the sport, from social games to state competitions, but there are also dedicated tournaments just for users of bowler arms.

He challenged the Monbulk bowlers to take part in these events. He encouraged others not to stay away from competitive sport because of ongoing ailments such as painful ankles, knees and hips, old sporting injuries, neck and/or spinal inflexibility or arthritis. If you are interested in being competitive again, and you want to have fun, contact Monbulk Bowling Club on 9756 6183, where you will receive a friendly welcome and free coaching.

Hubbub as Steve is top of the Town By DENNIS FULLER WHAT appeared, to the naked eye, to be benign conditions at Emerald Golf Club last Saturday, proved to be more tricky than expected. A small but particularly troubled group hit the first tee, ready for the challenge. When the shouting and tumult had subsided, it was Steve Town (13) who floated to the top to win overall and in A Grade with 36 points. An arm wrestle ensued in B

Grade, but after the scrutinisers gave the cards an exceptionally thorough scrutiny, it emerged that Allan Ecclestone (18) beat Ken Sumsion (25) on a countback when they both managed 34 points. The rest of the field found scoring at an acceptable level not on the menu for the day and many downcast golfers trudged into the tuck shop after play with little to cause a smile. Broc Reynold was nearest the pin on the 4th, Ross Martin the 7th,

Town the 13th and Ken Hill managed a double on the 12th and the pro pin 18th. The ladies event turned into a one horse affair, when Leanne Morison gave the other ladies a thrashing to greet the judges and pocket the prize money. Wednesday’s Overly Frumpish Golf (OFG) was a bisque par event where players had to nominate whether they would use their handicap strokes on either odd or even holes.

Much rumination occurred when this decision was being made. In the end a draw resulted, with Ken Sumsion (26) and Bobby Kennedy (24) sharing the spoils when they came in with +3. Geoff Whittaker (23) was the best of the rest one back on +2. Next Saturday is a stroke event which doubles as the qualification round for the club’s Match Play Championship, so the big guns will be out.

IT WAS a great sunny winter’s day at Monbulk Football Club for the seven junior teams to do battle. The Under 9s took the opportunity to use the full ground for their game which was a real change. All that extra space and running made it a great spectacle and ensured there were 26 tired bodies Sunday night after a big game. Under10s had a ripper of a game against Yarra Glen. Coach Bohan was ecstatic with the kids' best effort for the season. Great team work, seeing the fruition of hard work at training was a pleasure to watch, coach Bohan said. Under 11s continued their fine form with an outstanding display against Healesville with seven different players hitting the scoreboard. Under 12s proved far too strong against a competitive Yarra Glen side and came away with a resounding 40-point win. Jake Niclasen continued his great form with another four goals. Under 13s are showing why they are leading the competition with an impressive 30-point win against a plucky Yarra Glen side that put up a good performance. Under 14s are showing they may be a side to reckon with and was clinical in their 73-point win. Hayden Finlay is proving a great target and kicked five majors to setup the win. The team is playing really well under coach Green’s guidance. Under 16s got a reality check from the lower-placed Yarra Glen. Yarra Glen was more desperate and played out the full game to sneak home by one point. The Under 16s training of late had been poor, and clearly showed out during the game. Now the team will need to move forward after this showing. The ever-reliable midfielder Pat Barge was consistent all day and kept Monbulk in the contest. U9s v Yarra Glen (no score kept) Awards: R.

Emerald, Wandin at apex By JUDY ORREN ROUND 9 in Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League saw a top-of-the-table clash in Division 2 over the weekend. Emerald is now one-game clear on top with Kinglake and Thornton Eildon fighting for second. Wandin is two games clear on top, from Woori Yallock and Monbulk. Round 10 sees a clash at the other end of the ladder for Yarra Glen and Mount Evelyn. Healesville and Upwey Tecoma are jostling for top spot in the Under 18s, and in netball Seville is one-game clear in Second Division while Wandin and Olinda are tied on seven wins with another three clubs sitting on five wins. DIVISION 1 SENIORS Olinda Ferny Creek 14.9 (93) d Healesville 5.9 (39) This game started off with a tight first quarter as Healesville led by just one point at the first change. Olinda started to win more of the ball in the second term and booted 4 goals to 1 to lead by 17 points at the main break. Olinda booted another three goals in the third but held Healesville to just three behinds, thanks to some great defence and Olinda was well in control at the last change leading by 37 points. The last quarter saw Olinda run away with the game as they booted 4 goals to 1 to win by 54 points in a very good four-quarter performance. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: D. Wilson (2 goals), P. Rosier (2 goals), K. Currie Healesville best players: J. Goding, B. Miller, D. Plozza. Belgrave 23.11 (149) d Warburton Millgrove 14.7 (91) This was a great game for the first half as it went goal for goal. Belgrave led by just two points at the main break. Belgrave turned this clash on its head in the third, as it slammed on 7 goals to 1 in a quarter where they made Warby look slow and second to the ball. They raced to a 39-point lead at the last break. Belgrave finished the day off well, booting 6 goals to 3 to win by a comfortable 58 points, with Mitch Collins finishing with eight goals for the winners. Belgrave best players: B. Collins (2 goals), B. Dadswell (2 goals), P. Gough (1 goal) Warburton Millgrove best players: T. Walker, D. Noorman, L. Barnard (2 goals). Monbulk 20.17 (137) d Mount Evelyn 8.12 (60) Mount Evelyn was competitive for the first half of this game as they only trailed by 11 points at the long break. Monbulk, however, started to open up the play in the third and made its forward entries count as it booted 4 goals to 1 to grab a handy 21-point lead at three-quarter time. Monbulk finished the day off in great style as its running game came to the fore. They booted 8 goals to 1 to come away with a 77-point victory after a dominant second half. Monbulk’s R. Savory had a great game with a best-on-ground performance, booting seven goals. Monbulk best players: R. Savory (7 goals), S. Williams (3 goals), D. Ward (2 goals) Mount Evelyn best players: C. Carmody, R. Cowan (1 goal), M. Martin. Woori Yallock 17.13 (115) d Upwey Tecoma 6.8 (44) Woori played a very consistent four quarters, where they kept increasing their lead at every change. They led by 12 points at quarter time, extended that to 26 points by half time. They then really kicked away in the third as they booted 6 goals to 2 to lead by 48 points to have the game well in hand. The last quarter saw Woori finish the day well as they added another 5 goals to 2 to win by 69 points in a very impressive display. Woori Yallock best players: J. Adams (1 goal), K. Busoli (1 goal), B. Monkhorst (4 goals) Upwey Tecoma best players: B. Hinton, R. Hannagan, J. Waters. Wandin 27.19 (181) d Yarra Glen 6.6 (42) Wandin took no time to show they weren’t in the mood to give any mercy as they booted 9.7 to just 2 behinds in the first quarter to have this game in their keeping. The second quarter was at least a little more competitive with Wandin booting 4 goals to 2 and their lead was 73 points at the main break. The second half was all one-way traffic as Wandin seemed to do as they pleased. They booted 8 goals to 3 in the third and backed that up with a 6-goal-to-1 last quarter to win by 139 points in what was a very one-sided, easy win. Wandin best Players: M. Polkinghorne (4 goals), J. Messis (5 goals), J. Myers (1 goal)

Jackson McCaulley marks in the Under 18s. 140468 Yarra Glen best players: B. Ashton, D. Hurley, L. Telford (2 goals). DIVISION 2 SENIORS Emerald 13.13 (91) d Kinglake 8.7 (55) This was a top-of-the-ladder clash with Emerald eventually coming out on top after a tight first three quarters. Defences on both sides were difficult to penetrate as goals were hard to come by. There were only three goals scored in the first term, with Kinglake leading 2.4 (16) to 1.3 (9) at the first change. The next two quarters stayed tight but it was Emerald that nudged their way in front by three-quarter time but that was just four points. Emerald’s last quarter was brilliant. Kinglake looked to have lost their run, and Emerald took advantage as they slammed on 6 goals to 1 to come away with a 6-goal win and go onegame clear in top spot. Emerald best players: J. MacKay (5 goals), A. Hellriegel (4 goals), J. Dodd (2 goals) Kinglake best players: J. Walter, T. Arnott, S. McMahon. Thornton Eildon 14.11 (95) d Gembrook Cockatoo 9.5 (59) Thornton was given a slight scare in this game as they had to fight off a very determined Gembrook. Thornton found themselves trailing at half time by three points after a low-scoring first half with scores at 4.3 (27) to 3.6 (24). The third term saw the game open up and Thornton started to get on top. They booted 6 goals to 3 to take a 16-point lead into the last change. Thornton continued their good form in the last, and showed they are certainly the real deal as a premiership threat. They finished the day booting 5 goals to 2 to win by 6 goals. Thornton’s L. Davison had a great game, booting 7 of his teams 14 goals in a best on ground display. Thornton-Eildon best players: L. Davison (7 goals), J. Herridge, D. Creed Gembrook Cockatoo best players: R. Causer (1 goal), N. Strohbeck, B. Turner. Powelltown 23.14 (152) d Alexandra 10.4 (64) Powelltown was way too good for Alexandra as they produced a good four-quarter performance to come away with a very convincing win. Powelltown didn’t blow their opposition away in the first half, but they still led by six goals at the main break. The third quarter was where Powelltown played some of their best football as they hammered home 9 goals to 2 to race to an 80-point advantage at three-quarter time. The last term was at least a bit more even with Powelltown booting 4 goals to 2. G. Newing had a good day for the winners, finishing with eight majors to his name. Powelltown best players: M. Pote, M. Lord (2

Yarra Junction got the early jump as they led by 14 points at quarter time but Yea bounced back in the second term, booting 4 goals to 1 to lead by five points at half time. The third term was a reverse of the second as Yarra Junction booted 4 goals to 1, and they went into three-quarter time with a 14-point advantage. The last quarter was a beauty. Yea was coming back hard and they did boot 3 goals to 1, but it was Yarra Junction that was able to hold on to win by just three points, as they celebrated a great victory which left Yea heart broken.
