■ Baiting program using common insecticide mooted...
Waging wasp war By KATH GANNAWAY A COMMERCIALLY available insecticide could hold the key to controlling, and possibly eradicating European wasps across Yarra Ranges according to a Belgrave beekeeper. Marcus Deuchar called for a council-led, community-assisted volunteer baiting program using Fipronil, a poison currently approved for use against termites and in topical flea treatments for pets. He issued a dire warning, telling the Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 23 June there was less than two months to get a scheme into action with hundreds of queen wasps likely to have survived the winter and ready to set up new nests. “We need to plan ahead, so the community will be ready before the onslaught,” Mr Deuchar said. “And, more than anything, we need our local government to be a willing participant and key organiser on behalf of its communities.” European wasps were at plague proportions over the summer season with Yarra Ranges Council spending 10 times its annual budget in attempts to control the pest in its parks and reserves. Householders are responsible for wasp control on private property. “As an amateur beekeeper, I noticed that wasps were massacring our bees, and had driven our hives close to the point of colony collapse,” Mr Deuchar said. He said other members of the Coonara bee group reported the same issues and councillors nodded in agreement when he said the wasps were having a devastating effect on people’s lives and ability to work in and enjoy the outdoors over summer. He said the feral wasps were also a threat to native bees and other slowmoving insects in the wild.
Beekeeper Marcus Deuchar with his son Bodhi and the wasp trap he is advocating council adopt. 140965 With traditional baiting stations, and destroying 16 local nests having no effect on the wasp infestation, Mr Deuchar trialled a program using Fipronil baits that was approved for use by Wine Tasmania in 2014. The wasps take the poison back to the nest where they die and are, in turn, cannibalised by other wasps and fed to the young, multiplying the effect. The program requires administering a precise dose of poison and a strict baiting regime involving pre-baiting to establish a feeding pattern, monitoring wasp activity and delivering the poisoned bait in a station designed to restrict access by other wildlife.
Mr Deuchar said the program had effectively eradicated wasps from his property and a farm in Silvan where he implemented the program. Yarra Ranges Council would need to apply for and operate the permit for use of the poison, Mr Deuchar told the meeting. Under his proposal, council would issue baits to householders and other community organisations engaged in the trial after a training session. Participating householders and ‘friends of’ groups would take charge of feeding, baiting and monitoring wasp numbers.

His proposal would also involve working with Parks Victoria to allow baits to be placed on Crown Land. By utilising other community organisations to produce the baiting stations and engaging householders to implement the program, Mr Deuchar said he believed it would be possible to largely eradicate the European wasp population from many areas within Yarra Ranges for minimal cost to council and very limited use of council staff resources. In answer to Cr Terry Avery’s question on the number of baiting stations required, Mr Deuchar said 10 stations
per square kilometre would have a major impact. Asked about the effect on other species, he said it would be minimal. “No other insect is going to go near a baiting station while wasps are around,” he said. Council’s environment team has been tasked with investigating the proposal, including the role of the community, with a report due back to council by early August.

Myna capture mooted By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS YARRA Ranges Councillor Andrew Witlox has introduced a proposal for a capture and disposal program to control the Indian myna population in the shire. The Chirnside Ward councillor introduced the motion at a council meeting on 23 July. Max Caithness, committee member Yarra Indian Myna Action Group (YIMAG) said this decision was a positive move for the control of the pest species. “This is a good step forward in the control of Indian mynas. Bayside and Casey councils already have some formalised control of Indian mynas,” he said.
“Eventually, there will be a lot more councils that sit up and take notice.” The details of the program will be based off a similar program run by Cardinia Shire Council that was introduced at the beginning of June this year. Indian mynas are an introduced and aggressive bird that threaten native species that cause damage to buildings, and have been known to damage to fruit and grain crops. “The damage caused by these birds can be significant,” Mr Caithness said. “Vineyards can be damaged as they eat the fruit off the vines. They attack native birds too, driving rosellas away from their nests, attacking blue
wrens and tearing nests of pied magpie larks apart.” The pest birds are native to the Indian sub-continent and were introduced to Australian market gardens in the 1860s to control insects. Later they were introduced to Cairns and other places in far north Queensland to control insects in cane fields. The birds are now prevalent and endemic across the east coast of Australia. Yarra Ranges residents will be encouraged to build their own traps in workshops supported by council. Euthanasia of the birds must be conducted using RSPCA approved methods such as, cervical dislocation (breaking the neck) or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Crash stimulants take toll By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS EASTERN Melbourne has seen a spike in people caught driving under the influence of illicit drugs. Acting Inspector for Eastern Division to Tasking and Coordination Steve Rosewarne said the trends in drugdriving were worrying. This division oversees various aspects of police units, including highway patrol, to combat the increase in drug- related crimes. “We see an increase in the amount of people who are detected drug-driving,” Insp Rosewarne said. “A high percentage of those caught driving under the influence of drugs record methamphetamine in their system, including ice.” Insp Rosewarne said more police officers were being trained in administering roadside drug tests, and people using drugs and driving would be caught. “We will be expanding roadside drug testing operations and they will be a more consistent part of road safety across the whole of the state,” Insp Rosewarne said. Highway Patrol members from Knox and Maroondah conducted Operation Snookered recently which detected 18 drink and nine drug drivers on one night. Transport Accident Commission (TAC) chief executive officer Janet Dore said people who drove under the influence of drugs were a danger to the community. “Every year, people die and are seriously injured on Victorian roads as
Roadside drug testing is becoming more consistent with Victoria Police. 141054 a result of people who take drugs and drive,” she said. According to the TAC, fatality statistics from the past five years show that around 37 per cent of drivers and riders killed on Victorian roads had alcohol, illicit or prescription drugs in their system, or a combination
of all of these. The TAC is currently running a campaign to educate drivers that all Victoria Police booze buses are also equipped to test drivers for illegal drugs. The campaign was updated last
Mikado - much ado By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS YARRA Ranges Council has voted not to proceed with the construction of a sealed surface on Mikado Road in Mount Evelyn. Proposed as a special charge scheme, partly funded by the affected land owners, to resurface the dirt road next to Morrison Reserve, the proposal was voted down during a council meeting on 23 June. The benefit/cost ratio to the council for this project was considered too low for the council to commit to funding. Due to only eight properties making up 11.5 property
units along the road, the council would end up coughing up 68 per cent of the $661,300 total cost to construct a new road surface. Mayor Maria McCarthy said she was hoping for a different outcome for Mikado Road. “I’m disappointed council isn’t going forward with it, but I understand why,” she said. “There are not many residents on the road, but it gets a lot of public traffic that causes issues for the residents.” Cr McCarthy said the main issue was that Google Maps gives Mikado Road priority as an entrance into Morrison Reserve. “Council offices have been
working with Google Maps to change the route that they give to get to the reserve,” she said. Council is trailing a new type of road surface called GATT developed by building and construction product manufacturer Boral. GATT is being trialled on a number of roads in the Billanook ward over the next two years. “This is an exciting new piece of road engineering,” Cr McCarthy said. “Depending on the success of this trial, we are looking forward to trying this on other roads with Mikado Road being a prime candidate.”
Drug crimes double By JESSE GRAHAM DRUG crimes in the Yarra Ranges have doubled in the last year, according to the latest police statistics, released last month. Statistics released through the Crime Statistics Agency Victoria on 18 June show a dramatic rise in drug offences being recorded in the Yarra Ranges Police Service Area (PSA). Between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015, 86 drug dealing or trafficking offences were recorded by police in the Yarra Ranges - more than double the 41 offences recorded in the year before. Charges for cultivating or manufacturing drugs rose from 25 offences to 64, while drug use and possession charges rose from 310 to 347 charges between the two time periods.
Family violence offences were also on the rise in the last year, with 1378 individual incidents in the Yarra Ranges alone between April and March, 88 more than the previous year. Recorded incidences of family violence have been rising continuously over the years - in the 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011 time period, only 825 offences were recorded. Year by year, almost 100 additional incidences have been recorded, including a jump from 947 to 1112 between 2011-’12 and 2012-’13. Police have often cited the increase in offences as better reporting from victims to police, due to increased confidence. The Mail attempted to contact Yarra Ranges Acting Inspector, Paul van Gemert, about the statistics, but received no response.
Sexual offences, homicide and assault charges all fell compared to last year’s statistics, but crimes such as abduction, stalking, harassment and threatening behaviour and beaches of orders were all on the rise. Weapons and explosives offences also had a slight increase in the last year, with 227 charges laid, compared to 210 in the previous year. Robbery, blackmail, arson, burglary and deception charges fell, with 18 fewer counts of arson and 166 fewer counts of burglary in this year’s statistics. A number of drug raids have taken place in the Yarra Ranges in recent months, including four previously-reported search warrants executed in Healesville. However, as these raids occurred outside of the statistics timeframe, they are not recorded in the results.

year to target the rising use of methamphetamines after 2013 saw Victoria experience its worst year for deaths involving drivers and riders with stimulant in their system. TAC statistics show that in 2013 14.9 per cent of drivers and riders killed on the road had a stimulant, such
as ice or other amphetamines, in their system. “As well putting themselves and others in the community at risk of death or serious injury, people who drive on drugs need to be aware that they will be caught and the consequences can be serious,” Ms Dore said.
Briefly Tech-savvy burglar A TECHED-UP burglar is being sought by police after a laptop, tablet computers and game consoles were stolen from an Upwey home last week.

Police consider theft charges A MAN will face charges for two incidents in Belgrave that occurred earlier this year, after being interviewed last week. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said a 37-year-old Lara man was interviewed last week in relation to a theft from an Old Reservoir Road property in Belgrave, which occurred in February this year.

Mr Merlino said the approach would include the use of a specialist survey and was based on research, linking strong resilience to improved academic outcomes. Based on the findings of each survey, schools will be supported in the development of evidencebased approaches. Tailored professional learning opportunities will also be available to teaching staff. Mr Merlino congratulated the Montrose-based school on taking the initiative. “There is extensive research proving that higher resilience leads to better educational and social outcomes so targeted, grassroots projects such as these are vital for helping our students achieve their best at school,” he said.

WE HAVE MOVED. ADVERTISEMENT
Youth cover from the car By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS UPWEY resident Lorraine Marsh has decided to donate her unused car to youth homelessness prevention charity, Kids Under Cover. Ms Marsh has worked in the welfare sector for over 20 years, and says donating her unused Peugeot Hatch is a natural conclusion for her. “I’ve seen the good work done by so many in the welfare sector, and so this donation has a lot of personal significance,” she said. Established in 1989, Kids Under Cover is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preventing youth homelessness though practical measures. Since 2006, more than 5200 people have donated their old vehicles with 100 per cent of the money raised from the resale of the vehicles donated to Kids Under Cover. Kids Under Cover supports
vulnerable young people between the ages of 12 and 25 by providing solutions to avoid homelessness. They provide one or two bedroom studios at the homes of families or carers to keep young people connected in a healthy home environment; they also provide scholarships to ensure ongoing engagement with education and offer positive role models by linking young people to mentors. Kids Under Cover CEO Jo Swift is grateful to Lorraine for taking the time to donate her redundant vehicle. “Kids Under Cover is focused on early intervention to tackle youth homelessness through practical measures,” she said. “From an economic point of view, independent evaluations show that for every dollar invested in the work of Kids Under Cover, on average $3.30 is saved in the form of reduced
health and justice costs.” There is more than just an economical benefit that comes from a vehicle donation to Kids Under Cover. “Most importantly, a young person is no longer at risk of becoming homeless, and is now living in secure and stable accommodation,” Ms Swift said. Ms Marsh said the benefits young people gained from charities like Kids Under Cover were really important for the development of at-risk youth. “Work like that conducted by Kids Under Cover helps a young person learn independent living skills, it helps them develop a history of taking care of a space they can call their own,” she said “I know that this is one of the best ways to help a young person in the care system, by helping them learn self sufficiency.”
Public bins to be replaced IN response to a recent review, Cardinia Shire Council is now replacing numerous litter and recycling bins in public places including parks, reserves and streets. The change is taking place in preparation for waste contractor J.J Richards taking over the responsibility of emptying and maintaining these bins from tomorrow (1 July). This service is currently provided by council. As a result of the review, all 40 or 60-litre open-top bins in public places will be replaced with 120-litre and 240-litre
‘wheelie’ bins, and some may be relocated or removed according to how frequently they are used. Mayor Leticia Wilmot said the changes would help to further improve Cardinia Shire’s litter and recycling collection service in public places. “Council is confident our new contractors will provide an excellent service,” Cr Wilmot said. “Replacing the 40 or 60-litre open-top bins with wheelie bins makes sense because they are much quicker and safer for contractors to empty.
“Council is also using this opportunity to adjust the location of bins to better meet the community’s waste disposal needs. “Bins will be installed where they are needed most and removed from locations where they are not required.” Council will continue to monitor and assess the impact of these changes and invites feedback from community members. To provide feedback, or for further information, contact council’s Waste Management team on 1300 787 624 or mail@ cardinia.vic.gov.au.

will be closed over the winter period,” he said. “It won’t be legal for people to collect firewood on public land until the start of the Spring Firewood Collection Season.” The public will be able to start collecting firewood again from designated firewood collection areas from 1 September. DELWP and Parks Victoria
staff will be patrolling parks, forests and reserves during winter to ensure people are doing the right thing. For more details, visit www. delwp.vic.gov.au/parks-forestsand-crown-land/firewood. Any information about the illegal removal of firewood for sale can be reported to DELWP on 136 186 and quote Operation Chainsaw.
Over one century ago, Charles Health emigrated from England to Australia and started a stonemason business in South Melbourne. Today, Malcolm Heath continues in Charles Heath’s footsteps as a fourth-generation stonemason, in his new premises at Boronia, formerly of Box Hill and Lilydale. Malcolm can still remember the days when the trade used horse and cart, although he was only a small boy at the time. At age 11, he started learning the trade. Then, at age 16, he joined his father as an apprentice stonemason. Stonemasonry has come a long way since Charles Heath started his business more than 100 years ago, especially the tools and technology. Malcom says every day is different, every day throws new challenges and this is something he enjoys. Dealing with grieving families is not easy, but something the business takes in their stride. Heath Memorials takes pride in its extensive range of traditional memorials erected throughout Melbourne and surrounding cemeteries, including the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula. Unlike many of their competitors, they still manufacture most of their memorials in the factory, using both local and imported stone. They are of the firm belief that the quality of Australian stone is far better than most of the imported Chinese and Indian granites, so they try their best to promote Australian granites. In recent times, they completed works for the
Victoria Police Restoration Committee, in which they restored the graves of slain police officers, as well as marked the graves of unmarked police officers across Victoria. They also won the tender to erect and build the niche walls at the Ferntree Gully Cemetery, which are made from Australian granite. The project was built on time, and on budget, while up against overseas companies which only use granite from China or India. Investing in new, up-to-date equipment is a must, so they can compete with their competitors in the manufacturing of stone. They have also taken on two new apprentices this year, which is exciting not only for them, but the business. When dealing with the business, you are talking directly to the manufacturer and not a third party. Their consultants are highly trained and have full understanding of their client’s needs. Heath Memorials take pride in their reputation for giving personal service and attention to quality and detail. This is the case, whether it is for a small home pet memorial, full monument, headstone and base, additional lettering or the renovation or an existing memorial. The business invites anyone to their new premises, located at 18 Kalman Drive, Boronia, to discuss their needs.

Editorial
Bring down the oak IN MCBRIDE Street, Cockatoo, there dwells an oak tree adjacent to the op-shop. Every autumn, the said tree does two things it drops leaves and acorns. Both are dangerous to the good citizens of Cockatoo. The acorns drop on the pavement and on the cars parked in the car park in Southern Health Care. The leaves are treacherous when the opshop ladies have to take out the garbage and the acorns block the drains. About four years ago, a young mum carrying a small baby slipped and fell - it could have been serious. I willingly confess I am not a greenie, so I think that this tree should come down, instead of chopping off a limb here and there. It doesn’t address the problem. I urge the council to seriously look into this problem. Val Butler Cockatoo.
Issue very intense WELL done and thank you for printing Marilyn’s (Comerford, ‘Mail’, June 16) very important letter, I agree with Marilyn in total. There is a quantum leap from genuine free range and free range factory farming. Once the genie is let out of the bottle, the factory farming lobby will run riot. In a free range factory farm, they use the words: our chickens are free to roam, very few chicks in there, very short life, can leave the shed as they need to be inside the shed for three weeks to grow feathers as they are born without feathers. So this leaves them two to four weeks if they are lucky just to breathe fresh air, most do not. Many consumers are unaware when they purchase so-called free range chicken they are buying five to seven-week-old chicks that have been genetically crossed with a turkey to make them grow much faster so they get on the dinner plates much quicker, so the factory farmers can make more money. The general public need to unite against this amendment and stop it from happening. John and Sue Clark, Yellingbo.
Phone footage is producers’ delight THE big trouble with chequebook journalism is that many audiences still believe TV news stories without questioning their validity. There’s no question that, for more critical audiences, programs such as ‘Today Tonight’ and ‘A Current Affair’ can deliver an enjoyable, almost cathartic experience. In fact, there aren’t many of us who haven’t shared a giggle at others’ misfortunes or personal flaws. But where such light-hearted journalism crosses the line is when it leads to great personal distress. This could well be the case after ‘A Current Affair’ last week aired a segment featuring the Croydon Cinemas. The segment centred around a verbal outburst from a staff member, who refused entry for an elderly couple. This incident was captured on a mobile phone and obtained by ‘A Current Affair’. While not commenting on this particular incident or segment, it’s important for viewers to consider the role of the citizen journalist and their present relationship with TV news producers. Thanks to mobile phones, nearly every citizen today is their own personal news crew, which evidently is becoming a great thing if you’re into chequebook journalism. This higher availability of controversial footage is making it more tempting for producers to skew the story in whichever direction they please, without delving into the story at all. Also, for viewers of today’s media, it’s important to consider that those who supply such footage may have financial motivations. Potential recent examples of news-profiteering include an incident with AFL star Chris Judd, who was targeted while enjoying a bite of lunch; or Hawthorn coach, Alistair Clarkson, who was filmed in a physical confrontation with an opposition fan. More and more our private lives are becoming public, which is great for TV producers. Please consider this possibility when enjoying your favourite current affairs show.

Community at the heart By PETER DOUGLAS SELBY Community House is this month celebrating its 40th anniversary in style, thanks to a little support from new Selby General Store owner Kevin Zhang. As part of his commitment to helping out the local community, Mr Zhang had 15 Tshirts printed with ‘I (heart)
Selby’ on the front. Members of the community house have been proudly wearing the T-shirts during this month for the anniversary. Community House manager Tracy van Vloten said it was a wonderful gesture and one that highlighted “neighbours helping neighbours” within the Selby region.
In addition to the community house’s milestone, the Selby General Store is also preparing to celebrate its 90th anniversary. Mr Zhang said it was a great achievement for a local icon. On his recent big move in becoming the store owner, Mr Zhang said he was simply looking forward to becoming more involved in the community.
Quiz fund-raiser for SES EMERALD SES is well on its way to a much-needed vehicle upgrade, thanks to a recent trivia night where $2000 was raised. Brunch on McBride Cafe in Cockatoo was the proud winner of the event held at Emerald RSL recently. A capacity crowd enjoyed the evening, which was the first time Emerald SES has hosted such a fund-raiser. Controller Ben Owen hailed it a huge success. “This is a fantastic way to raise funds for our unit and have a great laugh along the way,” he said.
“Emerald SES has a great deal of goodwill in the community, and has a huge list of supporters to thank.” Seven rounds of questions sorted out the 11 teams, with participants from Emerald SES, Emerald CFA and community supporters, while local MP Brad Battin fielded a strong side. But despite the strong opposition, the Cockatoo team of Elise and Paul Turnedge, Helen Verheij, Paul Seal; Scott, Gail and Hannah Jury; and Julie and Geoff Grove, stole the night for Brunch on McBride Cafe. Meanwhile, the Vibe Gym
is once again running its annual ‘RPM’ marathon to raise funds for the Emerald Unit. On Sunday 26 July, to coincide with the finish of the actual Tour de France, participants are invited to join the peloton and take part in five ‘RPM’ classes in four hours. As well as raising funds, it is a great way to improve fitness. Cost is $10 for gym members or $20 for non-members. Ride with the Tour de France in the background and prizes will be awarded throughout the day. To book your bike, call 5968 2398.

Future hub will have it all that will give residents access to health services, educational and skills-based learning and local business information in one place. “This facility is a significant project that will greatly benefit the Hills community for many years to come,” Cardinia mayor Leticia Wilmot said.
By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS CARDINIA Shire Council had a substantial turnout for two information and feedback sessions on the future development of the Hills Hub in the Emerald Hall precinct. The Hills Hub project is designed to be an integrated community facility
About 100 people attended the information and feedback sessions at the Emerald Hall precinct on Wednesday 24 June. Cardinia Shire Council’s community strengthening team leader Tim Cooper said the mood and feedback received through the information sessions was generally positive.
The council will be creating a database to collate feedback and capture major themes raised during the sessions. The project will cost $5.7 million in total, with council providing $3.95 million of the total spend. The remaining cost will be shared
Firies shake loose the footy funds By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS MEMBERS of CFA groups from across the Yarra Valley were at the MCG over the weekend fund-raising for their respective brigades. The members of the brigades were out the front of the Hawthorn versus Essendon blockbuster shaking their buckets for donations. There were four CFA organisations in attendance including Yellingbo, Macclesfield and Seville CFA as well as members of junior brigades from all over the Yarra Valley. About $7000 was raised on Sunday that was split between the four CFA groups. Macclesfield was raising money
to replace a brigade-owned tanker. “The tanker we have at the moment is not four-wheel drive and it doesn’t hold much water,” Macclesfield's Captain Sharon Merritt said. “We have to get most of our water from dams and without a 4WD tanker we can’t access dams.” Yellingbo was raising money to maintain and replace equipment as well. “We need to replace a support vehicle,” Yellingbo’s Captain Paul Spinks said. Captain Spinks also said the members of the junior brigades were planning to put a large majority of their donations together to help a village in Cambodia to assist disabled children.

AN INTERIM parliamentary report into the CFA’s Fiskville training facility has vowed to provide answers and justice for those affected. Parliamentary inquiry committee chairwoman Bronwyn Halfpenny MP said a conscious decision had been made to hear first up from firefighters and others affected by practices at Fiskville. The next stage of the hearings will have government departments, agencies and other organisations presenting to the inquiry. In the face of the release of the interim report yesterday, 23 June, United Firefighters Union secretary Peter Marshall and Country Fire Authority CEO Michael Wootten have each released statements flagging that there is still very much more to come. Fiskville was closed on 26 March this year following evidence of water contamination, and after a long and active campaign by the United Firefighters Union to see issues around the use of dangerous materials addressed. Over 450 submissions were received. In an executive summary of the report, the inquiry committee said it was an opportunity to highlight some of the evidence received so far from individuals who had trained there, and from others who have worked and lived near Fiskville. It identified a number of key themes including the high level of concern among witnesses about cancer and possible health impacts and concern also that those affected should achieve a sense of justice. Mr Wootten acknowledged that the CFA had rightly been under the microscope as part of the inquiry. He said, while not on the frontline, CFA management was equally committed to the protection of people’s lives and property, including CFA members. He said all CFA facilities were now subject to a rigorous safety regime of improved governance, independent oversight and ongoing monitoring of the health of impacted CFA members. The committee’s final report is due by 1 December. Read the full interim report, including recommendations, at bitly.com/FiskvilleReport

THE Dandenong Ranges Music Council’s (DRMC) Attitude program will be giving the story of Snow White a new twist this July. ‘Snow White and the 7 Amazing Personalities’ is a pantomime-style production that includes people of all abilities. The DRMC Attitude program has been responding to the community need for arts programs for people with disabilities since 1999. Off the back of the successful ‘Pirates with Attitude’ production from last year, DRMC Attitude program is this year retelling the classic story of Snow White. “It’s designed to blur the lines between people with a disability and people without a disability and to make it an entertaining and enjoyable experience for everyone,” said DRMC arts administrator Sue Clisby. “Essentially it’s the same story line but it’s re-interpreted,” Ms Clisby said. “We will feature some of the classic songs but we have more contemporary arrangements as well.” Some of the people with disabilities were given the chance

Stunning work from the inside Inside Out (PG) Starring: Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Richard Kind, Bill Hader INSIDE Out, Pixar’s latest release, is a stunning work of moving, insightful drama and vibrant visual imagination. Within the mind of a happy little girl named Riley, there are five personified emotions that run her day-to-day thoughts. But when Riley’s family relocation to San Francisco coincides with a disaster separating Joy (the boss, voiced by Amy Poehler) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) from the mind Head-
quarters, Riley’s life and feelings start to go downhill. Inside Out is one of the most wonderfully surreal and visually inventive family movies ever made. The film is brimming with colourful, thrilling setpieces woven into a beautifully poignant journey of acceptance and self-discovery. The characters are also extraordinarily well-written. Fear, Anger and Disgust (left at the helm in Joy and Sadness’s absence) are fun and nuanced beyond their necessarily onenote characterisation, and Joy and Sadness both have engaging, profoundly touching arcs.
Sadness gradually gains more self-confidence, and Joy comes to realise that sadness is a necessary emotion in life. The portrayal of Riley’s childhood depression and emotional instability feels heartbreakingly real, and will resonate with viewers of any age. The film also contains plenty of clever humour for the kids and some fantastic witty symbolism (representing different parts of the brain and psyche) for the adults. Inside Out is a masterpiece from the comeback kings of family animation. - Seth Hynes

THE MAGIC OF EDNA WALLING
IDYLLIC LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY
Encouraged by her mother, Edna Walling studied at the Burnley School of Horticulture, gaining her Certiicate in December 1917. She then began work as a gardener around Melbourne, and when asked by an architect to plan a garden she jumped at the opportunity. Stone walls, pergolas, stairs, parterres, colonnades and pools - in this particular case a freeform reinforced concrete pool, which was one of the irst built in Australia. She always found space for wild (unstructured) sections as is the case here at Terri Hi Hi, (as the property was originally known) 95 years on and we now enjoy a picturesque patchwork of more than 4.3 acres. Stunning character WB home has the Easterly sun and the views which can be taken in from the lounge and dining room and all 4 bedrms.
Privately situated down a pretty country lane lined with beautiful deciduous trees that will delight as they relect the changing seasons, is one of the most desirable estates in the Dandenong Ranges. The lat 3.5 acres approx. is abundant with giant rhododendrons, maples, and chestnuts, whilst the stone-edged pathways that meander around the breathtaking magnolia in the home garden indicate a heritage going back more than 100 years. Truly a garden that would take decades to replicate, it is the perfect setting in which to establish your dream hills home. The existing partially renovated country cottage (the original part of which possibly dates back to the early1900s), has plenty of potential with high ceilings, French doors, dual ireplaces and a loorplan allowing for 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 spacious living areas.

THE head of Zoos Victoria has spoken out publicly against VicForests’ logging operations in the Central Highlands, saying a new national park is the best way forward. Zoos Victoria CEO Jenny Gray expressed a number of criticisms of the logging body in a letter on 21 January this year, released by the organisation earlier this month. In the letter, which was a submission to VicForests’ Draft Forest Management Plan and Draft High Conservation Value Strategy, Ms Gray lists the body’s current forest management processes as “inadequate to protect the Leadbeater’s Possum from extinction.” Underneath this, she wrote that the Great Forest National Park proposal is the “most important conservation action” for the possum, which was recently revised to critically endangered. The letter also addresses the current state of the old growth forests in the Central Highlands, which she said only made up one per cent of the total forest area. Ms Gray wrote that a “clear strategy” should be in place to expand old growth to 30 per cent of the forest in the future, among other suggestions. In an interview with the Mail, Ms Gray said that VicForests requested input from Zoos Victoria on their draft documents, which led to her letter. She said her opinion on the
A lowland Leadbeater's Possum in captivity at Healesville Sanctuary, photographed last year. 141100 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM GFNP came from modelling from the Arthur Rylah Institute, undertaken as part of the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) discussions last year. Ms Gray said the modelling showed the GFNP as having “the greatest benefit” for the animal, but said even that would not guarantee protection from extinction. She said, if Zoos Victoria was called to a round-table discussion such as those suggested by Environment Minister Lisa Neville, the group would have the position of “maximising return” for the possum. “The terms of reference would be really important, and we would participate and look at what the science tells us against the terms of reference of the round table,” she said.
“We are always looking for what maximises the return for the animal ... and the model indicated that (the GFNP) would give the best outcome to the animal.” The Mail submitted a number of questions about Ms Gray’s concerns to VicForests, including whether her recommendations would be adopted by the organisation. VicForests’ general manager of Stakeholders and Planning, Nathan Trushell, said Ms Gray’s letter was “one of many” submissions into the documents. “We have acknowledged all submissions made and are still considering all feedback received,” Mr Trushell said. “We plan to release the updated documents later this year.”

White-out By DENNIS FULLER A CALM, overcast and coolish day greeted the members at Emerald Golf Club last Saturday for a mixture of stableford and match play championship rounds. Graham White (16) set out early with a will to win, and the breeze followed him home to victory. His 37 points headed up the A Grade assembly and everybody else as well. B Grade went down to the wire, or at least to the countback table where brows were furrowed with concentration and fairness. It came to pass that David Aitken (27) got the gong when his back nine held scores better than those carded by Dean Shannon (17). Both had 35 points. The course was a little on the slow side and the scoring of the rest echoed that feeling with average to pathetic scores carded. Ross Martin was nearest the pin on the 4th, Peter Glasscock
the 7th, John Fisher managed the daily double on the 12th and 13th, while John Carvill played a splendid shot to pocket the pro pin goodies on the 18th. That sweet swinging Brianna McCoy once again trumped the rest of the ladies with a solid win from Benita Balfour. Three games in the club’s match play championship were played. Leigh Morison beat Philip Crossley 3/2, Ken Hill beat John Carvill 4/3 while Ross Martin downed Ken Sumsion 2/1 with all winners progressing to the next round. Wednesday’s Opulently Fashioned GOLF (OFG) was a stableford event with bonuses on self-nominated holes. The scoring was high with Philip Crossley (22) scooping the pool with 51 points from Dave O’Donnell (37) on 49. Next in line were Ken Hill (12) on 47 and Bobby Kennedy (22) 46. Next Saturday players contend for the July VGA monthly medal.
Entertaining, hard-fought clashes rule day for Monbulk SIX of the Monbulk teams ventured to the picturesque town of Healesville to take on the under-9s, under-10s, under-11s, under12s, under-14s and under-16s, while trying to dodge the very tempting nearby bakeries. The under-9s shook the sleep from their eyes and entertained those watching. Coach Aldridge was enthusiastic about the kids’ game, their willingness to share possession and really work together as a cohesive unit. A long first season hasn’t dampened their willingness to learn and develop. The under-10s came up against a determined Healesville side that really wanted the ball and were first to the contest. One of the most difficult opponents for the team this season gave Monbulk a lot to work on during training and the final games of the season. The team can now recharge the batteries over the holidays and prepare for next game. The under-11s were slow out of the blocks, with Healesville kicking the first two goals. After quarter time, Monbulk hit its straps and kicked seven goals to one to come home with an impressive win. The slow start showed the team why they need
to be switched on from the start. The under-12s battled hard, but were given a football lesson from the top-of-thetable Healesville. Although not reflective on the scoreboard, Monbulk battled hard and can take many positives from the game and know what they need to do to better match such a quality opponent next time. The under-14s continued on their merry way against Healesville. It was a scrappy affair, with Monbulk having to work through a tight Healesville defence. The team stayed focused and worked through the maze, and a good eight-goal second half saw the team come away with a 11-goal win. The under-16s were up against a side that was higher on the ladder and had a good battle all day. A strong Monbulk firsthalf set up the win, with both teams evenly matched for the second half. Monbulk is now seeing the hard work at training over the past couple of weeks pay off. UNDER 9 No score kept. Awards: Jason Abraham, Charlie Hooper, Riley Bentley, Hamish Dickinson, Jaxson Aldridge. UNDER 10 No score kept.

Upwey well Watered By JUDY ORREN DIVISION 1 SENIORS Upwey 18.18 (126) d Mount Evelyn 11.18 (84) BOTH teams were very wayward in the first half as they just couldn’t split the big sticks on a regular basis. Upwey did have more of the play as they led by 20 points going into half-time, with the scoreline at 6.11 (47) to 3.9 (27). The second half was a bit of a goal feast, with 20 majors being scored, but it was Upwey that used the ball a lot cleaner as they kept stretching their lead. They added 12 goals to 8 to win by 42 points. Upwey’s Daniel Waters was superb as he finished with 10 goals after a clear best on ground performance. Upwey Tecoma best players: D. Waters (10 goals), B. Hinton, T. Robinson (2 goals) Mount Evelyn best players: S. Martin (3 goals), C. Urquhart, M. Condello (3 goals) Olinda Ferny Creek 17.10 (112) d Belgrave 10.6 (67) A great opening term was had between these two sides as they went goal for goal, with Belgrave going to the first break with a narrow fivepoint lead. Olinda’s work rate was superb in the second quarter and Belgrave struggled to match them. Olinda added 6 goals to 1 and led by a handy 26 points at half-time. The third quarter was an even contest, with both sides booting three goals, but Olinda maintained their half-time lead. The last term saw Olinda’s fitness prove too good for Belgrave as they ran away with the game, booting 4 goals to 1 to win by an impressive 45 points. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: D. Noorda, D. Wilson (1 goal), L. Meadows (1 goal) Belgrave best players: B. Dadswell (3 goals), D. Collins, T. Stubley Wandin 28.13 (181) d Warburton Millgrove 6.11 (47) Wandin yet again showed their class as they completely outplayed Warburton from the outset. Wandin led by 24 points at quarter time and then raced to a 58-point lead by the half after a 7 goal to 2 second term. The second half was completely dominated by Wandin as they booted 4 goals to 1 in the third. They then finished off the day with a brilliant last quarter where they slammed on 11 goals to 1 to win by a massive 134 points. Wandin best players: R. Wilson, R. Ross (3 goals), J. Bayliss (2 goals) Warburton Millgrove best players: L. Barnard (2 goals), B. Clinch, A. Joyce (2 goals) Monbulk 14.14 (98) d Woori Yallock 12.13 (85) Monbulk is setting themselves up for a good finals assault after a terrific, hard-fought win over Woori Yallock. A very even start saw scores level at quarter time, but it was Woori Yallock in the second term that looked to be using the ball better, as they booted 6 goals to 4 to go to the main break with a two-goal buffer. The third quarter saw Monbulk winning a lot more of the one-onone contests as they slowly got the game back on their terms. They booted 4 goals to 1 and at threequarter time they held a nine-point lead. The last quarter was a good battle, but Monbulk had the answers to any challenges that Woori threw their way. They finished the day with a 3-goal-to-2 quarter to win by 13 points in what was a great four-quarter battle. Monbulk best players: S. Williams (1 goal), M. Langworthy (6 goals), K. Gray (1 goal) Woori Yallock best players: S. Kennedy, M. Batten, D. Ryan (1 goal) Healesville 22.14 (146) d Yarra Glen 6.10 (46) Healesville started a little slow, and only led this game by 15 points at quarter-time; however, after that it was all one-way traffic as they ran right over the top of a disappointing Yarra Glen. Healesville slammed on 8 goals to 1 in the second term and went to the long break with a sizeable 51-point lead. The second half was more of the same as Healesville booted 5 goals to 2 in the third and finished the game off well with a 6 goal to 1 final term to win an even 100 points, in what was a good display of football. Healesville best players: M. Anson, G. Mason (3 goals), D. Anderson (1 goal) Yarra Glen best players: R. Gurney (1 goal), C. Moate, M. Attard (3 goals). DIVISION 2 SENIORS Yea 11.7 (73) d Alexandra 8.11 (59) Yea best players: D. Craig, D. Evans, S. Martin (1 goal) Emerald 17.17 (119) d Powelltown 13.6 (84)
Upwey and Mount Evelyn players hit the contest hard, however, Upwey proved too strong on the day. 141090 Emerald may have won by 35 points, but they had to work hard for their victory. Emerald always looked the better side as they got out to a 30-point lead by half-time. Powelltown did give it their all in the second half, but Emerald had all the answers. The remainder of the game was a very even and tough battle, but Powelltown just couldn’t string goals together to put any real pressure on Emerald’s lead. Emerald remains one game clear on top of the ladder, and are looking good to remain there as they have quite a superior percentage to all other sides as well. Emerald best players: C. Porter (1 goal), D. Isaacson, C. Thomson. Powelltown best players: P. Allen, J. Walker, K. Larsen. Kinglake 15.10 (100) d Yarra Junction 9.5.59 Kinglake is back on the winners’ list, thanks to a good first half in this clash. They led by eight points at quarter time, but then really got their game up and going in the second term, booting 8 goals to 1 to lead by 49 points by the half. The second half was actually a really good battle and Yarra Junction took it right up to Kinglake. They, in fact, outscored them 7 goals to 5 in the second half, but Kinglake’s second-quarter dominance proved to be the difference come final siren. Kinglake best players: A. McLaren, T. ThoneKain (1 goal), L. Arthurson (2 goals) Yarra Junction best players: J. Delaney (2 goals), C. Spalding (1 goal), J. Black Seville 14.10 (94) d Gembrook Cockatoo 9.12 (66) This was a pretty good four-quarter performance from Seville who held Gembrook at bay all day. Seville led by just two goals at quarter and half-time, but they pulled away somewhat in the third with a 5 goal to 3 quarter to lead by 25 points at the last break. The last quarter was a decent contest, but as hard as Gembrook put in it was Seville with all the answers. They booted 4 goals to 3 to finish the day with a 28-point victory which sees them in sixth spot and just one game behind Gembrook in 5th. Seville best players: L. Casini, M. Goff,
