Rachael’s puppy love By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS A MONBULK family is seeking donations to raise funds for a registered assistance dog for their daughter. Rachael Grooby is not your average nine-year-old girl. She has been battling with many illnesses in her short life and needs the help of an assistance dog to get her through the days. Diagnosed with epilepsy and migraines, Rachael also completely lost vision in her left eye three years ago which has greatly reduced her mobility. Due to her other conditions, Rachael also suffers from extreme anxiety which stops her doing things that other children can do with ease. Rachael’s mother Belinda Grooby said that her daughter needed something to help with these conditions. “She wants to be a regular child,� Mrs Grooby said. “Her world continues to get smaller and all you want as a parent is to make your kid feel better.� The Grooby family is seeking assistance from the community to raise $25,000 for a registered assistance dog from Smart Pups. The assistance dogs trained by Smart Pups are used in the child’s life to increase things like independence, safety, confidence, and social interaction while helping to relieve stress, anxiety, and isolation. The assistance dogs have the same rights as a guide dog so will be a constant companion for Rachael. For the last six months Rachel has lost even more confidence and cannot cope with being in a crowd, limiting her ability to attend school without inducing an anxiety attack. “To purchase and train an assistance dog - that would make the world of difference to Rachael,� Mrs Grooby said. The assistance dog works as helper for Rachael to guide her through everyday activities like walking to school, sleeping through the night and helping her mum with grocery shopping.

Belinda Grooby and young Rachael Grooby need to raise the funds for an assistance dog. 140637 Mrs Grooby said that although it took a lot of money, they would not give up trying to raise the funds. “Like many families, we don’t have a spare $25,000 lying around but we are committed to raising this
money,� Mrs Grooby said. The type of assistance dog the Grooby family is trying to purchase for Rachael will have special ‘task specific’ training so the dog can assist Rachael with handling day-to-day rou-

Sewerage in pipeline By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS POSSIBLE solutions for waste water management in Monbulk will be presented to the community in the coming months. Following community feedback received late last year, Yarra Valley Water has been weighing up options for the best wastewater management solutions. “Delivering a sewerage service to Monbulk is a challenge due to the area’s hilly nature, and its distance from Melbourne’s existing sewerage network,” Yar-
ra Valley Water managing director Pat McCafferty said. “Following feedback from the Monbulk community, as well as Yarra Ranges Shire Council and Melbourne Water, we have also investigated the role stormwater management can play in the overall solution for Monbulk,” he said. Project manager Jo Cooper said that community feedback had been taken into account when developing these options. “As we are considering the unique challenges in Monbulk,
and investigating a number of additional options, the review process has taken longer than expected,” she said. Chandler Ward councillor Jason Callanan said Yarra Ranges council said it was important the community had their say on this project. “We have been in discussions with Yarra Valley Water about their backlog program, and urge the community to get involved in the consultation when the servicing options are presented,” he said.
Mr Callanan said a new sewerage system in Monbulk could greatly improve the life of residents in the town. “Reticulated sewerage will provide significant benefits to the town including improving amenity and the health of the local environment and waterways,” he said. Yarra Valley Water will be presenting two wastewater management solution options during the next phase of community consultation.
Parade lights up hills with hope By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS THE Belgrave Lantern Parade returned for a ninth consecutive year to celebrate the winter solstice on 20 June. Marina Dennis, of the event management team for the parade, said there were estimates of up to 8000 to 10,000 attendees. There were many new lanterns that appeared, and lots of families and community groups brought lanterns to the parade. “The parade is designed to celebrate the winter solstice and the community spirit, and it really archives what it sets out to do,” Mrs Dennis said. “This celebration really brings the community together.” Parade organiser for five years Renate Crow said it felt as if the parade had more
and more variety every year. “It’s always a surprise, and we are always learning along the way” she said. Local hills band Daisy West, described as “the best band in the hills” by lantern artist Glenn Scolyer, was great with spectators. “Daisy West was a hit, and we also had fire twirling and belly dancing in the parade,” Mrs Dennis said. “We had Rudy the one man band who carries all his music with him. We had Brenna Dixon from Gemco with story time after the parade which is great for the kids before they go home,” she said. Parade co-ordinators and artists say they are consistently impressed with the range of lanterns that make up the parade. “It was quite a peaceful and beautiful
event,” Mrs Dennis said. There was more than just the parade as well; local businesses extended their trading hours and Mount Burnett observatory set up a telescope at St Thomas More Primary School for people to view the clear night sky. “The general feeling among traders is this is such a suitable event for Belgrave and fits with the vibe,” Mrs Dennis said. “There has never been two (parades) the same” Mr Scolyer said. Gareth Hart from Burrinja was the official event manager for the parade, his first time in this role. “It just went smoothly, and he was brilliant,” Mrs Dennis said. “He was our man and did a fantastic job.”
Briefly Spate of cigarette robberies THIEVES have made off with thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes from stores around the Yarra Valley in a series of robberies last Monday. Between 2.15 and 2.40am on Monday 15 June, unknown persons broke into the Log Cabin Service Station on the Warburton Highway in Launching Place. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said the thieves smashed a door to gain entry and made off with $12,500 worth of cigarettes. Between 2.45am and 3am on the same night, the BP Service Station on the Warburton Highway in Lilydale had its front door smashed open. “It appears they were looking for cigarettes, but didn’t get any,” Det Sgt Smithwick said. Shortly after the Lilydale break-in, unknown persons broke into an IGA supermarket on the Warburton Highway in Wandin North, entering the shop via the roof sometime between 3am and 4am. Det Sgt Smithwick said the thieves stole $6000 worth of cigarettes from the Wandin North store. Later, between 4am and 4.20am on the same morning, an IGA supermarket in Bell Street, Yarra Glen, was broken into. Det Sgt Smithwick said the front sliding doors at the supermarket were forced open, and a “substantial amount” of cigarettes were stolen from the store. He said that all four break-ins were believed to be linked, and that they may also be linked to robberies that occurred in Tecoma, Lilydale, Yarra Glen and Eltham North on 2 April, where more than $38,000 worth of goods and cigarettes were stolen. In the Tecoma robbery, which occurred at the town’s BP Service Station, more than $20,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen - but about a third of the loot was lost when the thieves tried to drag a quilt filled with the packets along from their car. Anyone with more information on the robberies, or who may have witnessed suspicious behaviour, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Truck loses rego plates EMERALD police are searching for information after registration plates were stolen from a truck in Cockatoo last week. Between 5.30pm on Monday 15 June and 5.30am the following day, registration plates were unscrewed and stolen from a truck parked in a residential area in Bluebird Avenue in Cockatoo. Acting Senior Sergeant Fiona Tolmie said that anyone who saw any suspicious activity during that time should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au. Irreversible registration plate screws can be picked up from local police stations during opening hours.
Driver ignores school crossing A MAN has been interviewed by police after failing to stop at a school crossing in Cockatoo earlier this month. At 3.25pm on Tuesday 9 June, a crossing supervisor was standing on Pakenham Road near the intersection of McBride Street in Cockatoo, letting students cross, when a silver Holden Commodore failed to stop. Emerald Police Acting Senior Sergeant Fiona Tolmie said the car, driven by a “young man”, drove straight through the crossing. No-one was injured in the incident, and Sen Sgt Tolmie said the young man had been interviewed in relation to the matter.

On Thursday 18 June, Lilydale police and Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) officers executed a search warrant at a Lilydale property. CIU Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said a stolen motorbike engine and a sawn-off shotgun were located as a result of the search. A 34-year-old Lilydale man was bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Time to desex your pets AT Animal Aid, July means just one thing, the national desexing month. Unplanned litters contribute to the overpopulation of cats and dogs, and if you choose not to desex your pet, then you are inviting the possibility of your pet breeding. Every new life deserves a secure future and a ‘for sale’ or ‘free to a good home’ ad in the trading post or similar is anything but. In an effort to encourage pet owners who are considering whether they will desex their pets or not, Animal Aid, in Coldstream, is offering a 30 per cent discount on desexing for the whole of July.
Animal
aid
Debra Boland Animal Aid hopes to convince pet owners about the importance of desexing, and the number of physical and emotional benefits for the pet and owner alike. By desexing your pet/s they: *Are less prone to wander and fight; and therefore less likely to get
Age friendly feedback sought
lost, injured or display territorial behaviour such as cats spraying indoors; *Are likely to live longer and healthier lives; *Have a reduced risk of diseases related to the reproductive organs such as testicular and prostate cancer in males, or cystic ovaries and mammary tumours in females; *Desexing prevents ‘heat’ cycles in females and eliminates the unwanted attentions of males looking to mate, which also decreases the number of stray and feral animals. There are a number of misconceptions associated with desexing which need to be debunked:

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS A FERNTREE Gully teenager has taken out the top prize in the short film competition at the Warburton Film Festival. Former Mater Christi student Sierra Laird won the ‘Golden Shorts’ for best film at the film festival during the ‘Show Us Your Shorts’ competition. Her stop-motion paper animation called ‘Help Wanted’ is set to a spoken poem of the same name by Canadian poet and writer Shane Koyczan. The whole processes of making the film, which is about three and a half minutes long, took Ms Laird about six months. While the film does have some funny moments and some more touching moments, Ms Laird said that her short film did not have a specific genre. Ms Laird said the film was about discovering the beauty of humility through expression of grief, loss, happiness and love. “It’s about beauty over the superficial,” she said. She said the following quote from the poem really summed up the feeling of the
film for her. “The only reason they think they’re beautiful, is the same reason they think you’re not.” Ms Laird has been producing stop-animation since she was about 10 years old and used to use Lego to make short stories. Ms Laird said she faced really tough competition during the contest. “I was absolutely shocked I won,” she said. “While there were no other animations, the other films were really good, and I was competing with students from the Victorian College of the Arts.” Now 18 years old and studying arts at Deakin University, she wants to one day work in the film or radio industry. She is looking at doing more animations, and said she definitely wanted to base them on more spoken-word poetry. Ms Laird won $500 for her film, and is considering producing another film to enter the competition at Warburton Film Festival next year. “I would like to do one based around the work of Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye. Their work is just so inspiring,” she said

*Pets don’t have to get fat after desexing - poor diet and lack of exercise contribute to weight gain, not desexing; *There is no benefit to letting females have a litter before desexing; *Dogs and cats do not have a sexual identity, so desexing will not change their basic personality and male pets won’t feel less ‘manly’. Animal Aid experiences the tragedy of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies in pets every day. Desexing is the only way to address the imbalance of adoptable pets to available homes.

POLICE have increased the award for information on a 13-year-old cold case. Croydon resident Kade Hall’s body was found 10 metres from Mount Dandenong Tourist Road in Kalorama on 15 March 2002. The reward for information on Mr Hall’s death has risen from the original $100,000 to $1 million. The reward would be paid at the discretion of the Victoria Police Chief Commissioner for information leading to the conviction of the persons responsible for his death. The post mortem examination of Mr Hall’s body revealed he died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Police investigators believe Mr Hall was killed on the evening of 28 February 2002. Detectives believe the last time Mr Hall was seen alive was in the Croydon area around 10pm that same night. Police are sure there are people out there with information but have failed to come forward so far. The increase to the reward comes after an announcement late last year that all new rewards issued to solve Victorian murders will be set at $1 million and older unsolved murders adjusted to this figure as well. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make an anonymous submission at crimestoppers.com.au

Budget submissions spruiked By PETER DOUGLAS SEVERAL community groups and individuals fronted Yarra Ranges Council last week to put forward their case for inclusion in this year’s budget. At a special council meeting, the public was invited to speak before council votes to adopt the budget at its 30 June meeting. Among the submissions raised was one of the bigger considerations for council, which came from the Lilydale Football Club.
The club is seeking a major upgrade of its facilities, similar to what has been achieved for the Montrose Soccer Club. Speaking for the move was club secretary, Vicki Hottes. Ms Hottes said despite the club playing in one of the most prestigious leagues in Victoria, the Essendon District Football League, the club lacked adequate facilities. “It’s not a safe environment ... vermin are damaging the wiring ... the
kitchen is overloaded and the hot water system caught fire due to overload,” she said. “The roof leaks and there is a lack of storage ... the ice baths are converted wheelie bins.” In addressing council, Ms Hottes said the club was more than prepared to do its fair share for the project, including holding working bees and fund-raising. Ms Hottes said the club needed to cater for as many as 90 senior and ju-
nior footballers each week. In addition to being a council Neighbourhood Safe Place, the facility is also in use among cricketers and netballers. Other submissions raised at the meeting included a proposal for a safety fence at the Kallista playground near the Kallista-Emerald Road. It is argued there is a major need for a rail, given the use by nearby primary school students and kindergarten children.
The road in question attracts heavy traffic. Another submission focused on the facilities of the Chirnside Football Club, which is one of the only clubs in the region to field a senior women’s football side. Presently, it is argued, the facilities offer inadequate privacy for the female players, who can be as young as 16. Yarra Ranges councillors will now consider the submission before the vote on 30 June.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of ... milk! By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS DEPUTY Premier and Minister for Education James Merlino spent the morning at Kallista Primary School on 12 June for Dress like a Pirate Day. Students across Victoria made a gold-coin donation in exchange for dressing up as pirates to raise awareness and money for research into childhood brain tumours. Researchers believe brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other type of disease. More than 620 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, with brain cancer the most common form of childhood tumour. Kallista Primary School raised $375 on Dress like a Pirate Day and all proceeds will go towards the Kids Cancer Project. Mr Merlino also spoke about The
Education State Consultation to the assembled students, teachers and parents, all dressed in their best pirate gear. The Education State consultation is an eight-week program run by the Victorian State Government to give parents, students, teachers and all Victorians an opportunity to have their say on what is working well in the education system and what needs to be improved. Mr Merlino said that while Victoria had a great education system, the outcomes for students had recently stagnated. “We face a number of challenges with the education system,” he said. “Student outcomes have stalled across the spectrum, even though we still have a few high achievers.” Mr Merlino said one of the main issues with education in Victoria was the level of engagement of students, especially in high school.

the targets the government sets to improve education across the board. The targets that Mr Merlino said needed to be focused on during the consultation included improving student outcomes, improving equality in
schools focusing particularly on disadvantage among students, and improving student engagement in school. “It’s an exciting time for education in Victoria,” Mr Merlino said.

Indigo set as ambassador
Letters Fire on the right target I AM confused by the ‘Mail’ front page article last week (‘Beat back bushfires’, 16 June). Commendable it is that $2.04 million is being distributed to environmentally conscious community groups to clean up the disgusting mess of trash and weeds existing on our roadsides and reserves. My confusion comes when I read in the one sentence that the money will help local groups reduce the fuel load by removing woody weeds and invasive plants and improve habitat through native plantings. I can only hope that the herd of recipients lined up in the photo with Federal Member for La Trobe Jason Wood are not going to war on European deciduous species, which are well-known as fire retardant. Even some exotic evergreens, woody weeds and invasive plants are fire retardant. And I hope the planting of natives is done sensibly, with careful selection of species and situation. As Mr Wood says, “The area is one of the world’s most fire-sensitive locations”. Many natives are highly combustible and in fact native vegetation is a major reason why we have such a high fire risk. Where I live in Gembrook was once safe from bushfires because of the surrounding potato paddocks. As time has passed, subdivision and new housing has seen many natives planted in gardens and eucalypts planted as street trees. My summers are increasingly anxious, and,
By PETER DOUGLAS INDIGO Sangster, 11, from The Patch Primary School has been selected as one of six children from Australia to be a Junior Ambassador and attend the Asia Pacific Children’s Conference in Fukuoka, Japan, on 8 July for 14 days. While in Japan, she will be joined by other children from around the globe to participate in the conference that fosters friendship and peace between cultures. Indigo’s mother, Aleesha, said her daughter had been preparing for her adventure. “Indigo has had many meetings with the other five children going to Japan and they have worked on a performance to present to the other children at the conference,” she said. “Indigo will spend four days at the conference and then go to stay with a Japanese host family. “Here, she will attend school and experience life in Japan. “Her host family have made contact with her and are very excited about her arrival.” Last Friday, Casey MP Tony Smith came to assembly to present Indigo with an Australian flag pack that she will then pass on to her host school in Japan. Mr Smith asked Indigo to keep in touch, as he would like to tell parliament about her adventure on her return.

Education a major driver EDUCATION drives our economy. Over the past 20 years, 40 per cent of productivity growth came from the quality and skills of our workforce. But our economy is changing fast, and our education system must change with it. We need to help young people get the skills they need for the jobs they want. That’s why the Andrews Labor Government is starting a discussion about the future of our education system. We need your help to shape the Education State. We want to hear what’s good and bad about the system and where we need to head. The dedication of our teachers, principals, parents, carers and students makes our education system strong. But with the accelerating pace of change in our economy, we need to think differently. For more information on the Education State, or to find details on upcoming consultations across Victoria, visit educationstate.education. vic.gov.au. We want you to teach us about your child, your classroom, your community. Show us what’s good and bad about the system and tell us where we need to head. Shaun Leane, Member for Eastern Metropolitan Region.
Editorial
Damned if they do - or don’t NO-ONE ever said taking the unpopular road was easy. Just ask Knox City Council mayor, Peter Lockwood. Over the past few weeks, Cr Lockwood has faced intense scrutiny in relation to a Staffordshire terrier called Izzy. Izzy was reportedly involved in a bite incident on a woman, which left a 1.5cm laceration on her finger, as well as attacks on three other dogs. The council’s subsequent unsuccessful battle in the High Court to have Izzy destroyed under the dangerous dog legislation has reportedly cost ratepayers $600,000. How many park benches could have been built with that amount of cash, you ask? Plenty. Which is why the scrutiny over this case has been so high. To make matters worse for council, Izzy is a rather harmless-looking pet, with pictures of the dog featuring in many news pages and no doubt social media. But at the heart of this case is a local government’s capacity, including Yarra Ranges Shire, to have a dog destroyed under the

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online. Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

dangerous dogs act. At its heart is how far a local government should go in order to stand by their convictions, particularly in relation to community safety. Cr Lockwood and his fellow councillors obviously feel strongly on this issue. For example, Cr Lockwood said in his press release, “Heaven help us if a child was attacked and maimed, or worse”. So, what if, when Izzy and other dogs were reportedly attacking at random in the streets, there was a toddler in their path? It’s clearly within the realms of possibility and there are countless documented instances. If this was the case, we would be having a completely different debate in the media and among the community. We would then want council to take action. Of course, all this is hypothetical, which is why the Izzy case is so difficult. It’s far from an easy scenario for council, but they should be given some support for at least taking a stand and sticking to their guns.
AN HONOUR roll acknowledging outstanding Indigenous Victorians is on display at the Healesville Library for a few more days, following an opening event last week. On Thursday 18 June, Jaclyn Symes MLC joined Yarra Ranges councillors, Eastern Regional Library staff and community members at the library to unveil the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll. The honour roll features 64 Indigenous Australians who have been recognised for their lifetime achievements, and includes five local faces, including William Barak, Simon Wonga and Healesville’s own Aunty Dot Peters. The roll features photographs and life stories from Indigenous Victorians who have done outstanding things or been leaders for their communities, and is displayed in different places as part of an annual roadshow, before being returned to Parliament House. Aunty Dot, for example,
campaigned for the recognition of Victorian Indigenous men and women who served in conflicts overseas and did not receive recognition of their efforts due to their race, and had their families excluded from the same compensation as nonIndigenous Australians. On 31 May, 2006, as a result of Aunty Dot’s work, a Victorian Indigenous Men and Women Remembrance Service was held at the Shrine of Remembrance, with the Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander flags flown at the shrine for the first time. Cr Len Cox, also the chairman of Eastern Regional Libraries (ERL), opened the event, before Aunty Joy Wandin-Murphy presented a Welcome to Country and speeches followed by Cr Fiona McAllister, Jaclyn Symes and Aunty Dot. Ms Symes said the honour roll roadshow was stopping in Healesville for the first time, and told the stories of Barak, Wonga and Aunty Dot contained in the honour roll. She encouraged residents to nominate inspirational Indig-
enous community members to be part of the 2015 induction in the honour roll. “I found the most worthy people are the people out there in the community, getting on with it and doing what’s right,” Ms Symes said. Aunty Dot, meanwhile, spoke about her work in campaigning for recognition of Indigenous soldiers, and offered sage words to the gathered crowd. “We’ve got a great country and we’ve got to work together to keep it that way,” she said. The Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll will be on display at Healesville Library, at the Healesville Community Link behind the Memorial Hall, until Thursday 25 June. Nominations for the 2015 inductions to the honour roll are being accepted until Tuesday 30 June at 5pm. For more information or to nominate an Indigenous community member, visit www.dpc. vic.gov.au.

Plumbing the depths of study SELBY plumbing apprentice Michael Brennan has been named as joint recipient as Apprentice of the Year through the Swinburne University of Technology. Mr Brennan joined Scoresby local Justin Stephens in being awarded the top honour. The selection panel for the award were unable to differentiate between the two winning candidates, who were described as demonstrating excellent commitment and maturity towards their studies.
Michael Brennan, a third-year apprentice, said the award caught him off guard. “I had no idea I was going to win, so I was a bit shocked and even had shaky legs on stage,” Mr Brennan said. “I’ve always been hands-on, and I’ve ended up loving plumbing, so I’m glad I came to Swinburne to study it.” Fellow Apprentice of the Year, Justin Stephens, a third-year fitting and machining apprentice,
said the award gave him more confidence in his work. A Swinburne horticulture student, Christopher Henbery, has also been nominated for the Victorian Apprentice of the Year Award, which will be announced in August. The Swinburne Apprentice of the Year awards is an annual event that recognises Swinburne’s highest achieving apprentices and was this year sponsored by the Rotary Club of Boronia.

Local learning cash boost
From left are Karin Absolom (manager of Orana Neighbourhood House), Heather McTaggart (manager from The Basin Community House), Shaun Leane MP (Member for Eastern Metropolitan Region), Michael Anderson (Knoxbrooke) and Rad Kilian (CEO Knoxbrooke).
THE Victorian Government last week announced much-needed funds for two of the region’s most valuable learning facilities. Member for Eastern Metropolitan Region Shaun Leane said The Basin Community House would receive $178,000 from the latest round of the $4 million Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board’s Capacity and Innovation grants. The initiative is designed to encourage the development of more effective ways of supporting learners who may have previously struggled with education. The ultimate aim is to foster the development of new skills to increase job prospects. The Basin Community House manager Heather McTaggart said funds would be put to good use.
“We and partnering organisations, Orana Neighbourhood House and Knoxbrooke, which are all Learn Local providers, are delighted with the announcement,” she said. Meanwhile, the Mountain District Learning Centre in Ferntree Gully will receive $50,000 from the grants. The centre will create an adult literacy network as a way to improve the literacy of adults in the Outer Easter Suburbs. The project will focus on improving access to literary programs by responding to the specific needs of learners as identified by network members and by tailoring specific learning programs for them. The network will work to raise awareness of adult literacy and reduce the stigma.
ACFE Board chair Rowena Allen said the grants would also strengthen the links between Learn Local organisations and their communities by helping to establish new partnerships for the benefit of learners. “There are 312 Learn Local organisations across Victoria that provides a range of courses in a community board setting, with specialised skills in engaging with people who have traditionally faced barriers to education,” she said. “These grants will help organisations better meet the needs of learners and also strengthen partnerships with other Learn Local organisations, local industry and training providers, benefiting the community.” For more information about Learn Local, visit www.learnlocal. org.au.
Closer look at the NDIS By JESSE GRAHAM AN INFORMATION session on the National Disability Insurance Scheme brought a full room of residents to the Healesville Memorial Hall last week to hear about how the scheme will impact them. Organised by disability services advocacy group, Healesville Connections, the NDIS information session and community forum filled out the Nan Francis room at the Memorial Hall on Thursday 18 June. Disability service provider, Yooralla, had representatives on the day to answer questions about the NDIS and how it would impact the lives of local people living with disabilities, as well as their families and carers. Eastern Health’s Janelle Arnold
said the questions that should be asked of locals during the NDIS rollout next year is what services do they access, and what services do they need to achieve their goals? “They want people to consider what services they’re already accessing, and what are their life goals and what do they think they need support doing, so they can meet their life goals,” she said. “Dream about what you want your life to look like, then consider what you need to have to get there. “That’s where NDIS has fallen down - where people haven’t come prepared with that when they’ve tried to go into the system, so they don’t get the full benefits.” Ms Arnold said the NDIS would cover people with a disability from
birth throughout their lives, though it has an access cut-off once a person is older than 65. Kathy Cameron, one of the drivers of the Healesville Connections group, said the NDIS would also do away with reviews of disability, meaning families would not have to prove the existence of a continuing disability. “The reviews that families are under are insulting,” she said. “We’re never going to be challenged again, that we’re freeloaders or something - it’s ghastly, it’s insulting.” Eastern Health, Eastern Access Community Health (EACH), Yarra Ranges Council and a number of other groups and organisations were represented at the meeting. Healesville Connections was es-

Moving with the times By JESSE GRAHAM AN ’80s Melbourne music icon will take to the stage in Montrose next month, performing his greatest hits, along with a few other tunes, in a special one-off show. Mick Thomas and the Roving Commission will perform at Montrose Town Centre on Thursday 23 July, and spoke to the Mail last week in the lead-up to the show. Mr Thomas said the audience at the Montrose can expect to hear songs from his days in Weddings Parties Anything, as well as a few more recent pieces. “If they keep their minds open, there might be something new, something they haven’t heard before,” he said. “I’m just happy to be out there playing again - it’s something you don’t do as much as you used to.”
Mr Thomas has been playing music for more than 25 years, in a number of different bands, including Weddings Parties Anything and his latest venture, Mick Thomas and the Roving Commission. When asked what inspired him to start playing music, Mr Thomas said that, for him, it was all he wanted to do. “I was from a reasonably educated background, and it certainly wasn’t because it was all I could do - it was all I wanted to do,” he said. “As a kid born in the 1960s, growing up in the ’60s and ’70s, when music was really at the forefront of pop culture, it was more than it was now - music is just one thing young people do now, but in the ’60s and ’70s, it was definitely the vanguard of popular culture.
“It was always, whether I admitted it to my parents or not, the thing that really got me excited.” Fast forward a few decades, Mr Thomas has a range of records released through different projects, and, along with Weddings’ Squeezebox Wally, has a “keen, small band” of four to perform at Montrose. “It’s a good band - we really like the line-up and like where we’re getting to, repertoire-wise,” Mr Thomas said. Mick Thomas and the Roving Commission will perform at Montrose Town Centre, 935 Mt Dandenong Tourist Road, from 8pm, on Thursday 23 July. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for concession holders. For more information, or to buy tickets, visit ach.yarraranges. vic.gov.au or call 1300 368 333.

Legendary rockers to hit stage By PETER DOUGLAS WHILE the line-up may have changed over the years, lead guitarist Rick Brewster says The Angels are as polished as ever. Ahead of their coming Mount Evelyn show, Brewster told the Mail their music is “still about two guitars, drums, bass and rock ‘n’ roll”. In recent years, the band has fought back from adversity after losing original front-man Doc Neeson and their bassist Chris Bailey in tragic circumstances. But with former Screaming Jets’ singer Dave Gleeson on the mic, they are still touring extensively and remain enormously popular, both in Australia and internationally. In fact, they’ve just returned from Europe, where Brewster said he was overwhelmed at the response. “We played shows in London, Paris and a major Swedish rock festival,” he said. “It went way past our expectations, we’re a very happy band. “The crowds knew all the words and every guitar solo.” The Angels first rose to prominence in the 1970s with a string of hit records, even managing to tour with icons AC/ DC.

Jurassic sequel’s entertaining Jurassic World Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’onofrio, Omar Sy Rated M for violence
The iconic band The Angels is heading for a show at Mount Evelyn. At the heart of the band has always been brothers Rick and John Brewster. The brothers both play guitar and contribute vocals, with Rick citing AC/ DC guitarist Angus Young as one of this biggest influences. “We played so many shows with Angus, I watched him every night,” he said. “I was also influenced by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, while my brother was influenced by (Bob) Dylan.” Brewster said the Mount Evelyn au-
dience can expect a mix of their old and new songs. “We can’t ignore our older songs because people love hearing them and we love playing them,” he said. Brewster said the band still enjoys writing music and he expects they will soon again head into the studio. The Angels will be playing at the York on Lilydale, Mount Evelyn, on Friday 17 July.

JURASSIC World is, in its own outlandish way, a worthy sequel to the groundbreaking original Jurassic Park. In the prehistoric theme park Jurassic World, geneticists engineer a new dinosaur to bring in more customers. But the creature soon breaks loose and wreaks havoc on the island. Jurassic World is a ferociously entertaining monster movie, but also has an appealing satirical feel unique to the franchise. The main characters are simplistic yet likeable, and Chris Pratt once again delivers his winning charismatic cockiness. The action is exciting and brutal, the film has many genuinely funny moments, the new dinosaur

(named Indominus Rex) is a terrifying creation and the effects are overall very realistic (though Jurassic purists will be disappointed at the lack of animatronics). A beneficial side-effect of the characters being basic is that the whole film has an amusing exaggerated feel, which helps the satire. With this film’s park being fully operational, World can more directly skewer corporate greed and excess. Where this goes too far is in Vic Hoskins (Vincent D’onofrio), the security officer who wants to militarise the park’s Velociraptors. This human villain is smarmy and overblown, when the film already has a great villain in the Indominus creature. Ultimately, Jurassic World isn’t as good (or smart) as the first Jurassic Park, but it doesn’t need to be, and it’s fine popcorn entertainment on its own. - Seth Hynes

Serving all community members BELGRAVE South Community House is certainly a busy place. Like many community houses regionally, it has children services, adult learning and halls for hire. But what makes this place extra special is they provide services for people with a disability, thus serving all members of the community. Unlike most disability organisations and agencies, their disability services are just one aspect. People who attend their programs share the space with all sorts of people. Those who are enrolled in disability service programs also have the opportunity to access many of the mainstream programs. Services include the extend program, which is a day service for adults and operates on weekdays, 9am to 3pm.
The extend program offers many programs within, which assists individuals to develop skills and have experiences that contribute to achieving individual goals in a group-based setting. Some programs are also attended by other services. The weekend extend program is a group-based recreational program. These camps and day activities provide opportunities for individuals to access the community and make new friends and connections, have new experiences, learn new skills and visit places and attractions. Weekend extend primarily operates on weekends with some activities being held in the evening and some on weekdays to take advantage of what the community has to offer. Activity locations vary, depending
on the activity. They also offer one-on-one support, with an emphasis on assisting people to get out and about. They also provide placement opportunities for tertiary students, with numerous students now employees. Their major annual event, which showcases the best of what they do, is the International Day of People with Disability celebration. This event is split into two parts. Last year’s event featured a barbecue, art, sporting games and live music at the centre, as well as a show at Belgrave’s Sooki Lounge, where bands with people with disabilities performed live on stage.

Community house has the lot By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS ESTABLISHED in 1976, Kallista Community House is a not for profit organisation providing lifelong learning and enrichment opportunities for all. Kallista Community House offers quality occasional childcare and facilitated playgroups, as well as a range of workshops and classes. The centre has a number of community-based goals that drive their childcare operations: They aim to provide children with opportunities, experiences and events which encourage physical, social and cognitive development; To support children to attain some independence, to provide each child with a program which is flexible, stimulating and responsive to the child’s individual needs and interests; and To provide a program which acknowledges, respects, and values the diversity of families. Kallista Community house playgroup and occasional childcare programs understands that for most children, this is often the first step away from home. Their program reflects the need to create opportunities for children to bond with adults outside the family and participate in activities to develop important life skills. A safe environment is provided to ensure skills can be developed at the child’s own pace. Kallista Community House offers two facilitated playgroup sessions each week, both in the childcare centre room and outdoor playground. Mondays are with Claire and Wednesdays are with Michelle, both caring and professional childcare experts. Childcare professionals Helen and Brynna run the occasional childcare and are qualified and dedicated to guiding the learning journey of each child. Children can have fun in safe environment, make new friends, and develop new skills through

Proprietor Rob Earney with a sample of their much-loved smallgoods. 140593 produces and sells under its own brand of Montrose Smokehouse. Montrose Meats specialises in high quality fresh meats, prepared meals and home-smoked smallgoods. On any given day, they offer in excess of 100 stock and specialty goods. Stock goods include standard cuts such as steaks and chops. Specialty goods include homemade smallgoods, sausages and some prepared meals.
Prepared meals are already cooked and ready to simply reheat. Montrose Meats has been operating since the 1920s, with Rob starting work there in 1970 and eventually buying the business in 1983. Rob was trained by a master butcher who had a strong background in smallgoods. Very few individuals have the double qualification of butcher and smallgoods maker. But the business prides itself not only on its wealth of experience, but its strong relationship
with its clients. The ‘main characters’ of the business are Chris and Moe, who have been working with Rob and Veronica for many years. The duo treats the business and the clients with the same passion as Rob and Veronica. Montrose Meats is located at 922 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Montrose.

Beating the breasts for helping out sur vivors By KATH GANNAWAY A MUSIC and movement program aimed at preventing lymphoedema and increasing well-being for women living with breast cancer will be launched this week. Facilitated by the Dandenong Ranges Music Council, the idea for the Breast Beaters program came from a friendship that developed between DRMC member and cancer survivor, Bev McAllister, and musician Jeannie Marsh during development of a DRMC youth music program. Bev speaks of the ‘new nor-
mal’ for women living with breast cancer which involves a regime of treatment and exercise. “I knew I would have to do exercises, but wanted to do what I did before,” Bev said. Before invariably included having fun and approaching exercise with a positive mindset. For Jeannie, the opportunity to work on a music and movement program was a practical way of helping her friend, and others. A pilot program has run in Yarra Ranges during the first half of the year with exciting results.
A DVD was made during the pilot sessions so women can implement the program in support groups, community houses, community choirs and in their own homes. The launch of the Breast Beaters DVD will be held at Lillydale Lake Community Room this Friday, 26 June from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. Anyone who would like attend the launch, or find out more about the Breast Beaters DVD is can contact Sue Clisby from DRMC on 9754 6566 or email drmc@drmc.org.au .

CARDINIA Shire Council adopted its 2015’16 budget at its meeting on Monday 15 June. The budget outlines a $30 million investment in new recreation facilities, road and footpath construction and other capital works across the municipality. Mayor Leticia Wilmot thanked residents for their feedback and said the public input had been valuable. “Council received nine submissions. All of the items raised in the submissions have been considered and a written response will be provided to address the matters raised,” she said.
Cr Wilmot said council had strived to deliver a sensible, balanced budget that met the needs of the community. Highlights of the Cardinia Shire capital works program include $1.5 million for the Emerald Community Hub and $1.1 million for the Emerald netball facility. The garbage charge across the shire will drop by more than $5 per household and the 5.5 per cent rate increase is 0.4 per cent lower than last year. The $50 rates rebate scheme for residents who receive Newstart Allowance from Centrelink will continue.

Scott of the great big cold By DENNIS FULLER WITH the thermometer hiding away at home in front of the fire, the members at Emerald Golf Club faced a start for the match play qualifying round with icicles hanging from their 7 irons. The pressure was on and Ian Scott (25) rose to the challenge to win overall on a countback from Peter Glasscock (13) after several stages of conjecture and puzzlement. Scott also won B Grade while Glasscock, as has become his habit lately, headed up the A Grade crowd. The only others within a bull’s roar were Graham White (16) and Leigh Morison (17) who both carded 72. Glasscock was nearest the pin on the 4th

and also picked up the pro pin shekels on the 18th. John Fisher was nearest on the 7th and 12th and Leigh Morison was nearest on the 13th. After tallying up the ladies’ cards, it emerged that Davina Aitken was the star with a strong win from Brianna McCoy and Brodie Reynolds tied for second place. On Wednesday when the fossils rolled in for Opulently Fashioned Golf (OFG) they found, to their collective delights, that it was a round of stableford. Leigh Morison (22) played a blinder to win with 44 points with Moss Fuller (27) next with 40 followed by Bobby Kennedy (21) with 37.

Belgrave triumph in thriller By JUDY ORREN DIVISION 1 SENIORS Belgrave 15.10 (100) d Woori Yallock 14.14 (98) BELGRAVE led this game all day, but had to fight off a fast-finishing Woori Yallock late in the game. Belgrave was good in the first half as they opened the day with a 6-goal-to-2 first quarter to lead by 25 points. Both sides booted four goals apiece in the second, and Woori did have more of the play, but wasted its chances as it trailed by 20 points at the half. In the third term, Woori once again had more of the play but a wasteful 3.5 to 2.2 still saw it in arrears by 11 points at the last change. The last quarter was a thriller. Woori was coming hard, and it scored five goals straight, but Belgrave had the answers as it slotted 3.3, which was enough for them to hold on to win by two points and move one game clear into fourth spot. Belgrave best players: J. Brown (2 goals), B. Dadswell (1 goal), D. Collins (1 goal) Woori Yallock best players: J. Adams (1 goal), M. Batten, M. Lowe. Olinda Ferny Creek 28.18 (156) d Warburton Millgrove 7.9 (51) Olinda was excellent from start to finish, and Warby just couldn’t match their dominant running game. Olinda got out to a six-goal lead by halftime. Warby was trying hard, but after the long break Olinda really upped their intensity. They booted 5 goals to just 4 behinds in the third to race to a 66-point advantage. They then kicked right away in the last with a 7-goal-to-1 term to win by 105 points and now sit one game clear in fifth spot. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: J. Wallis (1 goal), D. Wilson (1 goal), M. Mollica (7 goals) Warburton Millgrove best players: A. Joyce, L. Barnard, S. Andueza. Monbulk 21.19 (145) d Upwey Tecoma 14.16 (100) Monbulk did win quite comfortably in the end, but they certainly didn’t have it all their own way. Monbulk was certainly the better side in the first half as they got out to a 33-point lead, thanks to a 7-goal-to-3 second term. The third quarter was where Upwey really came back hard. They booted 5.3 while Monbulk kept Upwey in the contest with their inaccuracy, scoring 1.9 to see their lead reduced to just 19 points at the last change. The last term was a free flowing affair and both sides got plenty of the ball, but it was Monbulk that finished the day full of run, ramming home 8 goals to 3 to win by 45 points, which sees them now go one game clear in second spot. Monbulk best players: D. Ward (1 goal), S. Williams (1 goal), T. Armstrong Upwey Tecoma best players: D. Waters (5 goals) J. Waters (4 goals), S. Dawson (2 goals) Wandin 13.16 (94) d Healesville 9.11 (65) Wandin was given a semi-fright for the first time this season as they came up against a disciplined and accountable Healesville in the first half. Healesville led by eight points at the long break and Wandin had a battle on their hands. As good as Healesville was in the first half, they just couldn’t curtail Wandin’s run in the third as they booted 7 goals to 2 to grab a handy 26-point lead at the final break. The last term was a reasonably tight battle, with Wandin outscoring Healesville by just three points to win by 29 points and remain undefeated, two games clear on top of the ladder. Wandin best players: J. Taylor, R. Wilson (2 goals), M. Polkinghorne Healesville best players: D. Anderson, C. Warren (1 goal), L. Daly Mount Evelyn 15.21 (111) d Yarra Glen 15.11 (101) Mount Evelyn has pulled off a great comefrom-behind win to get over Yarra Glen. Yarra Glen was terrific in the first half as they booted 10 goals to 2 and led by 44 points at the main break, and it looked how far Yarra Glen. Mount Evelyn came out in the third and really took the game on. They were somewhat wasteful, booting 5.7 to 3.1, but they had reduced the margin to 26 points to put them in touch, going into the last term. Mount Evelyn’s last term was outstanding. They produced arguably their best quarter of the year as they slammed on 8 goals to Yarra Glen’s 2 to take the lead late in the game and come away with a memorable victory, leaving Yarra Glen wondering how they let this one get away. Mount Evelyn best players: R. Cowan (3 goals), B. Forbes (3 goals), G. Fraser (1 goal) Yarra Glen best players: J. Baughan, K. Hudson, B. James (1 goal). DIVISION 2 SENIORS Gembrook Cockatoo 9.9 (63) d Kinglake 7.12 (54) Gembrook now finds itself two games clear in fifth spot after a hard-fought win over Kinglake, which have now slipped to third spot after their third loss in a row. Even though the final margin
was only nine points, Gembrook held the lead at every change. They led by 11 points at the first break and by just eight at half-time. The third quarter was where Gembrook did kick ahead a little, they only slotted the three goals but they did hold Kinglake to just one major to go into three-quarter time with a 16-point lead. The last quarter was real struggle with both sides finding it hard to get through each other’s defence. Kinglake won the quarter 2 goals to 1, but Gembrook were able to control the ball when necessary and were able to hold on to win by nine points in what was a tough encounter. Gembrook Cockatoo’s best players: T. Scott, S. Martin, L. Scott (1 goal) Kinglake’s best players: J. Butterworth, J. Walker (1 goal), T. Arnott Thornton-Eildon 10.15 (75) d Seville 11.7 (73) Thornton now sits one game clear in second spot after their nail-biting two-point victory while Seville was left heart broken and find themselves two games out of the top five. This game was a topclass contest. It went goal for goal in the first half, and it was Thornton that had their nose in front by just eight points at the long break. The third term was a big struggle as both sides found it hard to score, as both defences were standing tall. Thornton scored 2 goals to 1 to increase their lead to 16 points by three-quarter time. Seville came out in the last and found some great running form that had been avoiding them all day. They finished strong, booting 5.1, while Thornton did have enough of the ball, but didn’t convert well enough to put a big gap on their opponents. They scored 2.5, which fortunately for them was enough to get over the line, come final siren in what a classic contest. Thornton-Eildon best players: R. Chapman (1 goal), J. Chapman, B. Kapakoulakis. Seville best players: L. Casini, C. Pahi (3 goals), R. Davis. Powelltown 17.16 (118) d Yarra Junction 14.9 (93) This was really a good game of footy that Powelltown had to work overtime to get the victory as they eventually pulled away late in the game. The first half was a goal-for-goal affair. Powelltown could have led by more than their eight-point lead at the half as they booted 7.11 to 7.3 and wasted a few chances. The third term was another even contest with both sides slotting four goals and Powelltown’s lead only increased to nine points at the last break. Powelltown showed in the last they are capable of competing with the teams at the top end, as they played a controlled, professional term to finish the day. They booted six goals and while Yarra Junction still gave it their all booting three goals, it was Powelltown that controlled the tempo to come away with a good 25-point victory. Powelltown best players: M. McArthur, N. Moody, G. Newing (6 goals) Yarra Junction best players: T. Cordwell, E. Wadsworth (1 goal), S. Danilovic (6 goals) Emerald 20.9 (129) d Yea 1.5 (11) Emerald was a class above Yea as they really taught them a football lesson. They shot out to a 50-point lead at half-time, booting nine goals while holding Yea to just one major. The second half was simply more of the same. Emerald dominated the play, they added another 11 goals to their total while unfortunately for Yea, they couldn’t add another goal to their score as they went down by 118 points in a game they would rather forget. Emerald sit one game clear on top of the ladder and have added to what was an already healthy percentage. Emerald best players: R. Simpson (2 goals), L. McKenna, A. Hellriegel (7 goals) Yea best players: D. Evans, J. Ryan, C. Evans. Alexandra: Bye UNDER 18s Healesville 25.14 (164) d Yarra Glen 2.5 (17) Healesville showed their class as they blew Yarra Glen away early with a 7-goal-to-1-behind first term to set the tone for the day. Healesville next three quarters were consistent as they booted six goals in each. Yarra Glen did battle hard, but could only snag two majors for the day as Healesville’s form was right on song. The final margin a big 147 points, which sees Healesville remain on top of the ladder with a huge percentage. Healesville best players: R. Hunter (4 goals), L. Oliver (1 goal), J. Parish-Donkin. Yarra Glen best players: L. Bourke, B. Hindaugh-Billington (1 goal), J. Clare. Belgrave 16.8 (104) d Woori Yallock 11.8 (74) This game was a real struggle in the first three quarters, with both sides finding it hard to score. Belgrave did lead at the final break by 19 points with a score-line of 6.3 (39) to 3.7 (25). The last quarter was a complete contrast to the first three as goals came thick and fast. Woori booted eight goals in the final term with B. Arnold doing his best to keep his side in the contest, finishing with eight goals to his name. However, Belgrave fared even
better in the last as they slotted 10 majors and had more avenues to goal which proved the difference in the end as they triumphed by 30 points. Belgrave best players: J. Muller (1 goal), L. Graeme, T. Somervaille Woori Yallock best players: B. Arnold (8 goals), B. Saxon, L. Amarant Olinda Ferny Creek 9.14 (68) d Warburton Millgrove 7.7 (49) Olinda was really good in the first half as they got out to a 35-point lead while holding Warburton to just two behinds. To Warburton’s credit, they came out in the second-half and made it a real contest. They booted 7 goals to 4 for the remainder of the clash, however, Olinda’s half-time lead was always going to be difficult to overcome and that proved to be the case as they walked off with a 19-point victory. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: B. Currie (1 goal), R. Cottam-Starkey, B. Mensa-Mauger Warburton Millgrove best players: D. Nippers, D. Bedggood, J. Blake (3 goals) Upwey Tecoma 17.15 (117) d Monbulk 5.3 (33) Upwey started off a bit slow, but once they got their run up and going, they looked great and Monbulk just couldn’t go with them. Upwey led by seven points at quarter time and stretched that to 28 by the half. The second half was where Upwey asserted their dominance. They booted 5 goals to 1 in the third and backed that up with a 6 goals to 2 final term to win by 84 points in convincing fashion. Upwey Tecoma best players: T. McKern (2 goals), B. Oates (2 goals), B. Stimac-Wuttke Monbulk best players: B. James, B. Redfern, C. Spooner. Wandin 17.10 (112) d Mount Evelyn 6.8 (44) Wandin got off to a flyer with a 7 goal to 2 behinds first term to set themselves up for the day. The second term was more of an even contest, but Wandin did stretch their lead as they went into half-time with 49 point advantage. The second half was a reasonable battle as Mount Evelyn did play a more accountable style but Wandin was still able to outscore them in the second half, booting 7 goals to 4 to win by a comfortable 68 points. Wandin best players: P. Hodgett (7 goals), L. Jones (1 goal), M. Sandfort (2 goals) Mount Evelyn best players: M. Oultram, D. Giblin, J. Thompson (2 goals) Emerald 20.13 (133) d Yea 4.3 (27) Emerald was way too good for Yea as they led from start to finish. Emerald wasn’t at their best in the first three quarters, but was still good enough to go into the last quarter with a 48-point lead. The last quarter saw Emerald produce some of their finest play, as they really turned it on. They finished the day in style, slamming on nine goals while holding Yea scoreless to win by 106 points, thanks to a brilliant last term. Emerald best players: R. Van Haren, K. Asling (2 goals), M. Nellen (2 goals) Yea best players: H. Jarvie, D. Howard, L. White (2 goals) Powelltown: Bye DIVISION 1 A GRADE NETBALL Belgrave 46 d Woori Yallock 37 Belgrave has finally tasted success after a few hard weeks on the court. They started well, with a 16-goals-to-9 first quarter and then stretched their lead out to 10 goals by the half. The third quarter saw Belgrave shoot 10 goals to 6 to get out to a handy 14-goal lead at the last change. Woori Yallock showed some real spunk in the last, and even thought they were never going to win this contest, they at least went down fighting. They won the quarter 13 goals to 8, but it was never going to be good enough as Belgrave walked off with a 9-goal win. Belgrave best players: Jessica Weisgerber (32 goals), Cassandra Lynch, Lauren Read Woori Yallock best players: Kimberley Williams, Claire Williams, Heidi Summers (20 goals) Yarra Glen 46 d Mount Evelyn 31 This was a great battle in the first half, with both teams giving their all with Mount Evelyn going into half-time with a three-goal lead. The third term saw Yarra Glen get right on top as their ball movement was superb. They scored 14 goals to 5 to grab a six-goal buffer at three-quarter time. The last term was a copy of the third, with Yarra Glen continuing to stretch their lead. Once again, it was a 14-goal-to-5 term, which saw Yarra Glen come away with a 15-goal victory, thanks to a brilliant second half. Yarra Glen best players: Peta Fay, Elizabeth Kay (13 goals), Prue Purdey Mount Evelyn best players: Elissa Dykstra (15 goals), Kate Youlten, Jessica Walker. Olinda Ferny Creek 69 d Warburton Millgrove 29 Warburton was competitive early in this game, but Olinda still led by four goals at quarter time. They got on a roll in the second term, scoring 15
goals to just 3 and their lead had blown out 16 goals at half-time. The second half was a similar story to the first. Olinda was just too skilled and despite Warburton’s best efforts, Olinda still added another 34 goals to 15 to win by 35 goals with a consistent four-quarter performance. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: Krista Tomlinson, Ashlee Howard (28 goals), Gretta Hankinson Warburton Millgrove best players: Bianca Daniels (15 goals), Karly Wappett, Kellie Davidson. Wandin 80 d Healesville 19 Wandin continue to dominate the competition, this time with a 61-goal victory over Healesville. Wandin was just way too skilful in the first half, as they shot out to a 27-goal lead. The second half was an even more dominant display as Wandin just kept getting better as the game went on. They added another 43 goals to Healesville’s 9 to run away with a substantial victory. Wandin best players: Melissa Martinov (29 goals), Ruby Tidd Healesville best players: Samantha Murty (14 goals), Chelsea Connell, Caitlyn Jeffress Monbulk Hawks: Bye DIVISION 2 A GRADE NETBALL Seville 54 d Thornton-Eildon 27 Seville was simply too strong for Thornton-Eildon as they had all the answers. Thornton-Eildon wasn’t terrible by any means as they did battle quite hard throughout, but Seville’s form was just a class above as they won by 27 goals in a pretty good allround performance. Seville best players: Mariah Scully, Riley Gentle, Morgan Wyatt Thornton-Eildon best players: Anita Keddell (18 goals), Melinda Sier, Alesha Davison Yarra Junction 46 d Powelltown 36 This was a really good clash, with both sides giving it everything in the first half. Yarra Junction had the edge, but it was only as they went into halftime with a three-goal lead. The third quarter was another even encounter, but it was Yarra Junction that was able to extend their lead to five goals at the final change. The last quarter was quite a low- scoring encounter, but it was Yarra Junction that scored 7 goals to just 2 to come away with what was a good and tough victory. Yarra Junction best players: Courtney Richards, Catherine Cook, Katelyn Betts (9 goals) Powelltown best players: Michelle Finlay, Demi Barber. Yea 42 d Emerald 41 This was a brilliant game that had big momentum swings throughout. Yea looked to be in control in the first half as they got out to a nine-goal lead at half time. Emerald came out in the third and turned this game around in a rush as they shot 13 goals while holding Yea to just 3, and at the last change it was Emerald leading by just one goal. The last quarter was a beauty as both sides went goal for goal, Yea shot 11 goals for the term to sneak ahead while Emerald scored nine, but it was Yea that triumphed by the slimmest of margins in what was an absolute classic. Yea best players: Lucy Marks, Amy Taylor, Sarah Hogan (31 goals) Emerald best players: Nicole Argoon, Lara Martin (19 goals), Megan Pearton (22 goals) Kinglake: Bye Alexandra: Bye
