Serrat’s top drop By JESSE GRAHAM IT WAS a family side-project that propelled Serrat winery’s Tom and Nadege Carson to Australia-wide acclaim, winning one of the top awards at last week’s Wine Companion Awards. Serrat’s 2014 Shiraz Viognier was given the Wine of the Year award at the ceremony on Tuesday 28 July at the Melbourne Museum, scoring a nearperfect 99 from acclaimed wine critic James Halliday. Mr Carson, who has made wine in the Yarra Valley since 1992, said he was “astounded” to receive the award for the wine, which, he said, was a good fit for the valley. Shiraz Viognier, he explained, is made using 95 per cent red wine grapes, with a small amount of white wine fermented in it. “It’s a wine that I’ve always loved, always thought was well-suited to the valley,” Mr Carson said. “We’ve been very honoured - I never imagined our place could produce something like that.” Serrat is a family side-project for Tom and Nadege, who is a fifth generation French winemaker. The pair first planted vines on the property near Yarra Glen in 2001, and hand-make the wines on-site, with the help of Kate Thurgood. The winery itself is on seven acres, but has a high density of vines - four times as many as in regular vineyards, which is typical in France. “It’s called ‘close planted’ in Australia - in France, it’s just normal,” Mr Carson said. “The vines are much smaller, the crop load per vine is smaller, it’s more labour intensive ... but we think it produces the best out of the site. “Each vine produces less than a bottle of wine - it’s a concentration of the fruit, and less fruit on each plant means you get more flavour, more concentration in the wine.” Serrat’s win for the valley was complemented by another win, this one

Award winners David Bicknell and Tom Carson at Serrat winery in Yarra Glen. 142426 for the Best New Winery, which was awarded to Gladysdale’s Bicknell FC, giving the Yarra Valley two of the six top awards. Describing the vineyard as a “labour of love”, Mr Bicknell said he felt “smug” about winning the award, and attributed the winery’s success to patience - and good wine. “I guess, perhaps the reason it’s come to the attention of the big man

is that we haven’t hurried to put the wines out on the market,” Mr Bicknell said. “We haven’t rushed at it - we’ve been making wine under the Bicknell FC label for about four years, but it wasn’t until last year that we put any wine into the market.” Mr Bicknell said the adage of ‘find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life’ rang true when it

came to making wines, most of the time at least. “Well, it’s a product that people love - they truly, deeply love it - which is why you get people stupid enough to spend their entire weekends doing what they do for the rest of the week,” he said. The Best Pinot Noir varietal award at the awards night was given to the 2013 Mount Mary Yarra Valley Pinot

Noir, which achieved 98 points, while the Shiraz award went to Serrat’s 2014 Shiraz Viognier. For the awards and the associated Halliday Wine Companion 2016, 8863 bottles of wine were tasted - some 398,835 millilitres or 6.5 bathtubs full of wine.

RSL hosts Vietnam day By KATH GANNAWAY THE Yarra Valley Vietnam Veterans’ Day commemoration is being hosted this year by Upper Yarra RSL. The event, now in its 11th year, provides an opportunity for veterans, their families, and members of the broader Yarra Ranges community to come together to recognise the contribution and sacrifice of the men and women who fought in the ‘conflict’ to Australia’s north. Upper Yarra RSL welfare officer, and one of the organisers of this year’s event, Dennis Reeves, said while the official title of the Vietnam experience, as an undeclared war, remained the Vietnam conflict, it was every bit as much a war as the First World War Australia is commemorating, 100 years on this year. Live artillery and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are just two of the experiences shared by the first Anzacs and their counterparts who fought from 1962 to 1972 in Vietnam. Their desire to never see another war in which Australian lives would be lost is another. On both counts that has been a failed dream with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Comradeship is another. Mr Reeves said the Yarra Valley commemoration was initiated because many veterans couldn’t attend the Vietnam Veterans Day service held on the anniversary of Long Tan, 18 August, each year in Melbourne. “This local event gives an opportunity for them to get together in recognition of their mates, and for the community to also show their appreciation and support,” he said. This year’s guest speaker will be Senior VicePresident of the Victorian State Branch of the RSL, Vietnam veteran, Robert Webster. The march will assemble at 10.30am at the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve and proceed down Park Road to the cenotaph for the service and wreath laying.

WARBURTON HIGHWAY IN YARRA JUNCTION.

STUDENTS from four Yarra Valley primary schools will battle it out in a speech competition, enlisting their best linguistic skills to take out the gold medal. Students from Woori Yallock, Badger Creek, Dixons Creek and Healesville Primary Schools will take the stage at Healesville High School’s Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday (5 August) for the third annual Rotary Primary School Speech Contest. Each school will have three representatives - 12 in total making a three-minute speech

on one of 20 topics, conveying a point, telling a story or providing a unique perspective on an idea. Toastmasters representatives will judge the students’ speeches through the evening, with medals to be handed out to the top three orators. The event is organised by the Rotary Club of Healesville, and Rotarian David Lau said the schools have shown strong support for the event. “All the schools are keen to participate,” he said. “We have great, great support from the primary schools.” This year is the third year running for the contest, and the

last two have each seen turnouts of nearly 100 residents, family members and school representatives. Woori Yallock Primary School took out first place last year, with Dixons Creek winning in 2013, and each winning school will have its name etched onto a perpetual trophy. The Rotary Primary Schools Speech Contest will begin at 6.30pm on Wednesday, 5 August at Healesville High School’s Performing Arts Centre, on Camerons Road in Healesville. Refreshments and food will be served once the contest finishes, at about 8.15pm.

Sea of lights to adorn lake By JESSE GRAHAM A FESTIVAL to light up Yarra Glen’s small lake is coming, and residents are being invited to take part and make their own floating lantern. The Yarra Glen Festival of Light this winter will be held at Yarra Glen’s lake, in front of the IGA supermarket, from 5.30pm on Saturday 22 August. Organised by the Community Fun Projects Group, with help from the Yarra Glen Living and Learning Centre, residents will be able to make and release their own floating lantern onto the lake as the sun sets.

According to the group, the aim of the event is to bring the community together for a winter event, combining the work of residents, artists and groups in Yarra Glen. The lanterns will be similar to Chinese floating lanterns, with jars filled with candles floating on wooden boards across the lake. With enough attendees and enough candles, the entire lake could be lit up with individually designed lanterns until the lights flicker out, making the area an ephemeral artwork. Living and Learning Centre office and program co-ordinator

Debra Traill told the Mail that the festival had widespread support from Yarra Glen’s community groups, with the Chamber of Commerce throwing its support behind the idea. The Yarra Glen Festival of Light Facebook page also noted that businesses have donated materials for the night, including drums for fire pits and tissue paper for the lanterns. In preparation for the event, the Living and Learning Centre is holding a lantern making workshop on Saturday 15 August from 4pm-6pm, with the help of local

artist, Elisabeth Bromley. Residents can come along and create their own lantern to release on the night, and the organising group is looking for donations of glass jars and materials, which can be donated to the Living and Learning Centre, Hargreaves Hill and Melba Lodge. For more information on the festival, visit www.facebook.com/ yarraglenwinterlights or www.yarraglenwinterlights.com.au. Sign-up sheets for the workshop can be found at the Reading Room at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall, or in the Facebook event on the page.

In brief

Area’s appeal hits the airwaves By JESSE GRAHAM THE TOURISM appeal of Marysville was broadcast around the state last month, with 3AW radio hosts broadcasting their shows from the rooms of the Vibe Hotel. Ross Stevenson and John Burns of Breakfast with Ross and John travelled through the Yarra Valley and up the Black Spur to Marysville on Thursday 23 July, to prepare for broadcasts on the following two days. The pair and their entourage, including Kate Stevenson from A Moveable Feast, set up at the Vibe Hotel on Thursday morning, before an interview about their stay in the town. Mr Stevenson and Mr Burns said it was their first time coming to the town, and that their trip was inspired after Ms Stevenson (of no relation) took a trip up to the mountain and told her colleagues about it. But the show’s broadcast from the town over the weekend doubled as a push for visitors to come to the

town, and the group said it was being led on a tour around the town and nearby Lake Mountain to see all the area’s sights. “Obviously, what we’ve heard about Marysville to date, in the last few years, has been more about sad things, and coming back and seeing how amazing everything looked,” Ms Stevenson said. “We’ve read a lot about the Vibe and the work that went into that, so it’s good to have a good news story.” Mr Burns said he was “amazed” about the re-growth on the burnt trees surrounding the town that have re-grown, but still bear blackened trunks. The two shows broadcast from the town were Breakfast with Ross and John from 5.30am-8.30am on Friday 24 July and A Moveable Feast with Ross and Kate from 11am-noon on Saturday 25 July. When asked about the shows, Mr Stevenson said they were hoping to hear from residents coming down to the live broadcast, about

their experiences and history in the town. Murrindindi Shire Council mayor Margaret Rae will also be appearing on the show. “We’ve just invited anyone who’s in the area to come and say hello tomorrow morning,” Mr Stevenson said. “I’m very taken with the poster in the foyer of the Vibe that says ‘tallest trees in the British Empire’ - and that was when the British Empire was somewhat larger than it is today. “We’d like to know about the history from some of the people that come in tomorrow morning.” As an incentive to get visitors to the broadcast, the hotel was offering a free breakfast of an egg and bacon muffin and a coffee on Friday morning from 7am-8.30am and on Saturday morning from 11amnoon.

Theft from vehicles up

POLICE are hunting for a white Nissan Navara ute that was stolen from a Healesville car yard last week. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said between 3pm on Tuesday 28 July and 8.45am the following day, the ute was stolen from a car yard on Maroondah Highway in Healesville. Det Sgt Barrow said the yard was closed for business at the time of the theft, and that, when staff returned to the yard, the gates to the yard were on the road. “It looks like the offenders have broken in, stolen the car and driven through the gates,” he said. The car, a 2005 model valued at $12,000, had no registration plates on at the time of the theft, but had a distinctive, custom-made steel full length roof rack and steel bullbar. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

DRIVERS are being warned to be wary of their cars after an increase in thefts around the Chirnside Park Shopping Centre car park. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said since 15 July police had reported an increase in theft of motor vehicles and theft from motor vehicles incidents around the shopping centre. Det Sgt Barrow asked drivers to be mindful of their cars and to report suspicious activity, such as people loitering around the car park. “And don’t keep your valuables in your car and lock your cars,” he said.

Bollards go missing WARBURTON police are searching for three specially made bollards, which were stolen from Thomas Avenue recently. Senior Constable Tony Pagels told the Mail that three bollards were stolen from Thomas Avenue in Warburton. The bollards were ornate, steel bollards with internal lights and images of native birds and animals, and were worth $2000 apiece - four were installed, and three of those have been stolen. “They are so distinctive, someone will see them somewhere and hopefully dob them in,” Sen Const Pagels said. The bollards, installed in 2010, have a fish, a lyrebird, an owl and a possum on them - though it is not known which three were stolen. The bollards were concreted into the ground, so removing them would have taken a grinder or other machinery to cut the steel from its ballast. Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity or who has information on the stolen bollards is asked to call Warburton police on 5966 2006 or to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Due place for top trainees By TONY SMITH IN 2009, I initiated the Casey Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Awards to recognise, reward and encourage careers in local trades and small business. I am excited to announce that nominations have now opened for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards, and we are searching for Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best apprentice or trainee. I have long believed that we should be doing all we can to encourage and value excellence in our apprentices and trainees, so it is important we recognise their achievements where possible. The apprentices and trainees of today will help form the backbone of our

small business and local economy into the future. There were more than 1700 apprentices in training in the electorate of Casey in 2014. There are hundreds more trainees gaining crucial work experience in a

broad range of areas such as hospitality, construction, automotive, manufacturing and agriculture. The awards are judged by an independent panel of prominent local business leaders, chaired by Phil Munday of Phil Mundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Panel Works. I was pleased to host more than 100 people for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards. It was the biggest awards ceremony to date. We had an outstanding group of young apprentices and trainees from a broad range of specialties. Following weeks of deliberation, Mikayla Paulet, a hairdressing apprentice at Natural Chique Hair and Make-

up in Mount Evelyn, was selected by the judges as the winner of the 2014 Casey Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Awards. She was given the award for her professionalism, passion, dedication, and her can-do attitude. It is a true testament to the high calibre of entrants last year that we had two runners-up for the award. Cameron Bisschop, an automotive apprentice at Rock Hard Motors in Silvan, and Natacha De Barba, an apprentice chef at TarraWarra Estate in Yarra Glen, were both awarded as runners-up for their hard work. I would like to take this opportu-

nity to congratulate last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner, runners-up, finalists, and entrants once again. I would also like to thank their nominators and employers, because without them these awards would be very difficult to run. Nominations for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Awards close on 21 August. I encourage you to nominate an outstanding local apprentice or trainee. Forms are available on my website at www.tonysmithmp.com Alternatively, you can call my office on 9727 0799 and we can send you a hard copy.

week, where they would not have a chance to go to a seaside summer camp,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good chance to do that.â&#x20AC;? The remainder of the money will go to veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; welfare funds - one through the Yarra Glen branch, and another that can be accessed by RSLs around the state. Mr Bartosh said the fund helped veterans, widows, and their families, when in need of financial assistance for transport or bills. He thanked Mr Barnett for the donation, and said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unexpectedâ&#x20AC;?, but a welcome surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had this kind of money otherwise - we have really not a lot of ways that we get money within the sub-branch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just like to thank Craig, the Grand and especially the patrons of the Grand for their Friday night raffle that made this possible.â&#x20AC;? The donation is the latest in a series of donations made by the hotel, which raises money during its Friday night meat raffles and members draw, with the funds donated to community groups when the pool of raised money reaches $1000. Previous recipients include the Yarra Glen CFA and Yarra Glen Primary School. The raffles are held between 6-7pm on Friday nights.

Good riddance to bad bags By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON’S campaign to go plastic bag free got a shot in the arm last week with around 100 people turning up for the official launch by community group ‘Plastic Bag Free Warburton’. The event, held on Wednesday 29 July at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre, included screening of the award-winning documentary ‘Bag it’, and a Q&A panel session as part of a grassroots campaign to get business, community and government on board to make Warburton the first town in Yarra Ranges to achieve ‘PBF’ status. Spokesperson Michelle Fisher said the event was an outstanding success with lots of questions asked and answered and a great sense that there was a strong community will to achieve their goal. Speakers included Robert Skehan from Plastic Bag Free Torquay, Yarra Ranges Council’s O’Shannassy Ward representative, Cr Jim Childs and owner of Warburton IGA, Shane Wyles. Mr Skehan, who has been working with the Torquay group, said the night was inspirational. “That collaboration between council, with Jim Child there, and Shane (from IGA) and the community so well representated, indicates that they are certainly moving in the right direction,” he said. “It needs equal effort from all three to make it work, but I think with those three pillars, this is not only achievable, but achievable in a short time frame.” Mr Skehan said he believed Warburton was the right place, and the right time, to achieve success with transitioning to a plastic bag-free town. Shane Wyles was also very positive, but said it needed to be community driven. “It’s about educating and increasing awareness and support,” he said. “There are a whole lot of ways we

Michelle Fisher and volunteer Marie Lumsden-Keys show how it's done - plastic bag free - at Warburton Handmade. 142572 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY can assist and support this, but the groundswell has to come from the community and we will support it. “It needs to be community driven, but supported by commerce and by local government.”

Ms Fisher said the PBFW would continue the momentum with plans for a number of initiatives to raise awareness and gather support. “We will be working with Upper Yarra Landcare who will be taking the idea into the primary school and talk-

ing to the children,” she said. A Bag Exhibition at the Waterwheel Gallery and a ‘Big Sew’ where people can bring along their sewing machines and ‘sew like mad’ making all types of functional and creative bags is also on the agenda.

Electoral review of shire: make yourself heard By JESSE GRAHAM THE VICTORIAN Electoral Commission (VEC) will be reviewing the electoral representation of the Yarra Ranges Shire, and is asking residents to have their say. The VEC announced on Wednesday 29 July that it would be accepting public submissions while running a review of the electoral structure of the shire, beginning on 5 August. The review was announced “to ensure that it provides fair and equitable representation for all voters”, and will assess whether the current number of

councillors is adequate; whether the municipality should be unsubdivided - where councillors are elected from the whole municipality, rather than in wards; and, if subdivided, how the wards will be named, divided and the number of councillors per ward. VEC Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately said public submissions were “a vital part of the review process” and provided “valuable local knowledge and perspectives.” Submissions will be accepted until 5pm Wednesday 2 September, and a preliminary report will be released on Wednesday 30 September.

After that, residents will have roughly a month to make submissions in response to the report, with a deadline of 5pm on Wednesday 28 October. By 25 November, the final report will be released, containing the VEC’s recommendations for the Local Government Minister which, if accepted, will come into force for council’s October 2016 election. The Mail contacted Yarra Ranges Council about the review, and was told by manager of Corporate Affairs Jennifer Bednar that the VEC would be reviewing more than 20 other

WINTER DEAL

councils along with Yarra Ranges. “The Local Government Act 1989 requires the VEC to conduct electoral representation reviews before every third council election, approximately every 12 years, and Yarra Ranges is due for review,” Ms Bednar said. “Representation reviews are a key mechanism to ensure that all voters in our municipality have their concerns and interests fairly and equitably represented. “The first review paper will not be released by the VEC until 5 August, which is the Guide for Submissions,

until then it is too early for council to comment.” Three information sessions on the review will be held, with one on Monday 10 August at the Yarra Ranges Council offices at 15 Anderson Street, Lilydale, another on Wednesday 12 August at Healesville’s Memorial Hall, and one on Thursday 13 August at the Monbulk Community Link. All of the sessions will begin at 7pm. For more information, visit vec. vic.gov.au, email yarraranges.review@VEC.vic.gov.au or call 131 832.

Letters Mission's message WHAT did the Healesville Mission Church represent? Was it meaningful at all in the scheme of things? A historic building is far more than the materials that form its structure. Old buildings hold historical memories, lessons learnt and obstacles overcome, they convey messages and generate enlightenment about times past. A humble building is sometimes more meaningful than grand monuments because it can represent the grass roots of the community, their aspirations and concern for their fellow humans. Seen simply as an old building, the Mission Church could also have been valued for its intrinsic worth and social value, what it informed us of the early local settlers. The building already had important historic significance in Healesville as one of the two oldest buildings still in existence, the other being a police lock-up. It was a modest building, a shelter, erected in the 1860s, by a dedicated and caring section of the Healesville community with their unselfish aspirations to provide a church, but not just a church for a chosen few, a special church, one of only two in Victoria, because it was built as a non-denominational church. This is of great importance at a time when Australia needs to look urgently at the things that bind us together rather than the focussing on the differences that divide. Social value is also obvious because the building is a monument to the exceptional pioneer who organised it, John Green, the father figure of Healesville whose lay-ministry was wide, his ministry extended to anyone who needed it. He, with his wife Mary, were managers of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station whose wise counsel and sympathetic intelligence has been widely recorded and applauded. He enabled the displaced Indigenous community substantive and sympathetic care and security during his term of office. John Green also organised the first meeting in 1886 in the Mission Church to successfully initiate another piece of necessary infrastructure for the community, the Mechanics’ Institute and Free Library. The long list of donors to the project were recorded and placed in the minutes on a blue sheet taken possibly from an account book. The notion of social value is not an abstract

one, it speaks to the heart of every community and their sense of values. Important old buildings provide a unique connection to place, an essential reference point that says who we are and that we value the contribution of people who came before us. The pioneers whose legacy and intent we can acknowledge as gestures of their goodwill and beneficence to the Healesville community. When important landmarks and places of significance like the mission church are lost to a community there can be a kind of grieving and sense of loss because there can be nothing to replace the heritage values contained therein, in particular what John Green had in mind when he organised the building of it. One thing we may be sure of, he wanted to provide a place of succour, equality and comfort for the struggling new settlement no matter who they were. With John Green at the helm of his caring ministry, the two heritage buildings - the church and the institute - along with the legendary Coranderrk history represent unique social value for the local community and something of which Healesville can be proud. While it is regrettable that the building was not retained in its place of origin, it is excellent news that at least someone cared about it. It is hoped that the Mission Church has a future in Yarra Glen where it will be cared for and preserved as it deserves. And that its unique contribution to the early life in Healesville will be remembered and maybe at last, celebrated. Pam Baragwanath, Mechanics’ Institute Researcher.

Sad day for region THE Mission Church in Healesville was listed on the Shire Heritage database in 2000. It was seen to be socially significant for the people of Healesville as a past gathering place for worship and community events. Its place is in Healesville. To move it to another site not only destroys the building’s significance, but brings the whole Heritage Overlay policy of the shire into question. To relocate the church at Gulf Station, a site with the highest heritage classification in the state, and rebuild it among the farm buildings to be used for wedding ceremonies, and hope it will generate some profits for the National Trust of Victoria, is not only an insult to the integrity of Gulf Station, but a plan based on vain hope. It is disturbing that Heritage Victoria is allow-

ing the National Trust of Victoria to proceed with this relocation, all in the name of financial gain. Heritage must now be financially viable to survive. A sad day. Kevin Heeley, Yarra Glen and District Historical Society.

Nation dragging its feet IN response to James Nolet’s letter (‘Mail’, 28 July), I wonder who is trying to quash debate about equality of the sexes re: marriage. I am almost positive it is the right wing and ultra conservative faction in the Liberal National Party - Abetz, Abbott et al. A few facts. 1. “Gayness” is not a lifestyle choice as it is genetic: Proven. 2. I’d imagine that it would not be fun to be gay in that there are still the remnants of the macho bashing of minorities by ignorant, and up until now; even now; one would not discuss your sexuality in public unless you were heterosexual (or maybe get assaulted or vilified). 3. “Aversion therapy” to cure homosexuals of their illness has been a feature of Christianity, and most religions, virtually since time began. Note that “aversion” therapy, born of the early psychiatric movement, does not work. 4. Strength has always been the force and forge in shaping cultures; i.e. males, and it has been decreed up until the middle 20th Century and later, that gay behaviour is abhorrent. And who have shaped cultures? 5. And what about equality? 6. The issue of children: If it involves IVF or surrogacy, every potential parent would be surely investigated. The primacy of children is paramount in Australia’s culture. A final word. Australia will be eventually dragged kicking and yelling into the 21st century with regards to climate change, renewable energy and treatment of minorities. So far, we are dragging our feet in relation to social mores. Graham Answerth, Healesville.

I WISH to add my own experience to the raw and factual medical reporting about the national bowel cancer screening program (‘Mountain Views Mail’, 7 July). My GP says, “the only sure way to find out is by having a colonoscopy”. I had mine in May 2015; some small haemorrhoids were removed. Painless, quick and comfortable. Resident, have you had your bowels medically examined? Noel Buchanan, Yarra Glen.

REFERRING to Ray Donkin’s letter (21 July), regarding the management of Central

‘clock’, which helped pull some 650 passengers up from Lilydale. Squabble over Control of Wesburn Reserve THE Wesburn Advancement League and the Warburton and Upper Yarra Go-Kart Club have come to grips over the management of the Wesburn Reserve. The main cause of the dispute seems to hinge on the intention of the advancement league to charge parking fees for cars attending go-kart meetings at the track on the reserve. In a letter to the council, go-kart club secretary, Mr M. Kendall outlined the feeling of his committee which was the club was not getting a fair deal out of the proposed agreement between the council and the league. Alternative Option THERE is a very strong body of opinion within the shire definitely opposed to the demolition of the present brick hall and are asking the shire to hold a public poll. - Contributed by Ellena Biggs

THE proposal for a development at Healesville’s former sawmill site, at the entrance to town, has divided residents. On one side, some have argued that the proposal will bring jobs, growth and economic benefits for the town. On the other side, others have said the development is not suitable for the town, opens the door for fast food chains and is in the wrong place. The development was green-lit by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after being voted down by Yarra Ranges councillors in 2013, but it looks like the application will again come before council, potentially with dramatic changes. Healesville cartoonist, Danny Zemp, has submitted his take on the proposal. What’s yours?

The proceeds on the occasion is to be shared by the school and the Healesville Football Club. A benefit social was held at Narbethong recently to aid Mr W. Barry, who was injured in an accident. At this function away up over the Black’s Spur, the surprising sum of 15 pounds was raised, which is as good a return - or in some cases better - than could have been achieved at Healesville. Warburton Mail 6 August 1965 A Big Day for Warburton STATION Master Mr Tom Brent who retired today, after 46 years of service with the Victorian Railways - 36 of them in the Yarra Valley - had a big day on Sunday. He had the sad task of supervising the last train out of Warburton station and putting the final seal on the 64-year-old line and also celebrated his 62nd birthday. Some of his many friends in the district wished him well. At the station was one of the oldest engines, a D3-639 with mileage of 1,262,000 miles on its

Highlands forestry. Obviously this was written from first-hand knowledge, devoid of ideology and political rhetoric, and laid out the facts surrounding this issue. Like many such matters facing us now, often the facts have been lost or distorted over time and recent generations have been quick to jump on the current bandwagon for whatever reason, without necessarily being in possession of the facts of what has occurred in the past. Unfortunately the generation with this firsthand knowledge of what has happened in and around Healesville over the long past years is becoming thin on the ground, which has opened the door to the dissemination of misinformation. If there is to be serious and credible discussion on this and other related subjects, let it be based on actual fact, not on ideological or political expediency. John Anwin, Healesville.

Online aid to find foal By JESSE GRAHAM CARA the missing foal has been returned to her anxious owner, following a massive response from members of the public. The missing foal was returned on Friday 24 July, after an online campaign to find Cara began following her disappearance on Wednesday 8 July. Her distressed owner Kate Paton reported her missing after the horse did not answer her calls, and feared she had run away or been taken. Ms Paton said she had contacted police about the disappearance, but was told by officers that they could not help her. “This has been one of the disillusioning things - when you need help, to find you can’t get it,” she said. Contacting neighbours, residents and media outlets in the following weeks, Ms Paton’s calls sparked a massive online response, with posts about the missing foal being shared hundreds of times over on social media sites. Ms Paton told the Mail the whole ordeal had been “a really bad situation”, but was glad to see Cara back home, safe and sound. Without divulging too many details, Ms Paton said the horse had been taken from her property and later returned. Declining to comment further on the nature of Cara’s disappearance,

Ms Paton praised the “incredible” response online, and thanked everyone who helped to spread the word and

continue the search. “The main thing is the people that have been helping me - and I want to

thank everyone,” she said. “It was incredible, the people that set up Facebook sites and everything

trying to find her, and she’s just a little nine-month-old - she’s not a thoroughbred or anything, she’s just a little foal. “It was really special when people came to see her last weekend.” What was more special, Ms Paton said, was the reunion between Cara and her foster mother, another horse on her property. “When I finally led her up to her yard, and her foster mother - a mare that a friend of mine gave me to teach her to be a horse, because Cara thinks she’s a human - the reunion between them both was beautiful.” After nearly three weeks missing from home, Cara was excited to be home, running around with her friends. The Mail contacted Victoria Police’s Media Department in regards to Ms Paton’s claims, and asked whether police were able to get involved in missing animal cases. A spokesperson for Victoria Police told the Mail “where there isn’t a criminal aspect to the matter, police will not be tasked to search for missing pets such as dogs, cats or horses.“ “Certainly, if people have a missing animal, they can contact police and if it is sighted while out on patrol or in the course of other police duties, we can make relevant inquiries,“ the spokesperson said.

Last train loses head of steam By KATH GANNAWAY THE 50-year anniversary of the last train into Warburton on Saturday went without fanfare, but railway historian Ken Coram, says it wasn’t so 50 years ago. The special train run by the Australian Railway Historical Society from Flinders Street to Warburton - and return - on 1 August 1965, was a formal ‘goodbye’, the regular passenger train service having closed on 13 December 1964. Mr Coram said the last train ran with two engines and 13 carriages and aroused a lot of sentimental interest along the way. One report recalls ... “There were many tearful faces among the large crowds who farewelled the last train, especially as the ARHS Special steamed out of Warburton to the tunes of ‘Will Ye Nay Come Back Again” and Auld Lang Syne” played by the local brass band amid the deafening sound of exploding detonators.” There were numerous stops along the way for photographers to get the perfect shot, and at Millgrove where the train picked up councillors from the shire of Upper Yarra. The anniversary has sparked some

nostalgia also on the Friends of the Lilydale to Warburton Railtrail Brett Pullyblank recalling at seven watching the train go past. Michael Gibney said as kids they would catch the train from Croydon to go fishing in the Woori Yallock Creek. “We used to walk over the hills from the Killara siding. In later years, it was replaced by a diesel motor-rail,” he posted. Chris Thomas simply said “I was there”.

Arthur's one lucky joey ARTHUR the koala joey is expected to make a full recovery, after surgery last week at the Healesville Sanctuary on his broken leg. The joey was brought into the sanctuary by two Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) officers on Wednesday (29 July), after they were flagged down by a member of the public near Powelltown. Vets at the sanctuary determined the koala was likely hit by a car, which also broke his arm, and scheduled surgery for the next day to fix Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broken femur. But during the surgery, which started at about noon, Doctor Franciscus Sheelings noticed that the bone had shattered more than anticipated, making the procedure more difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was more complex than I thought it was going to be,â&#x20AC;&#x153; Dr Sheelings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a large crack extending down the length of the leg, which needed to be stabilised, in addition to the large fracture we have seen on the x-ray.â&#x20AC;? Though the mood at the Australian Wildlife Health Centre (AWHC) was grim when the discovery was made - as it could potentially hinder efforts to fix the leg - a thumbs-up from Doctor Meg Curnick soon appeared to let members of the public watching know the surgery was back on track. Shortly after 1.30pm, Arthur was brought out of anaesthesia, his leg wired and stitched up and his broken arm splinted. Dr Curnick told media before the operation that it would take between four to six weeks for Arthur to recover, with vets later assessing whether he could be released. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be with us for a while,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to make an assessment as to whether we can be absolutely sure that his welfare will be fine if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back in the wild - if not, sometimes what happens is we keep them in our collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do everything we can to ensure he has a really good future, either way.â&#x20AC;?

Lyrebird dancing is mesmerising By KATH GANNAWAY THE launch of the final stage of Dances with Lyrebirds at The Memo in Healesville on Friday night was, in a word, ‘superb’. Mystical, mesmerising, captivating and entertaining. Yes, all the words that spring to mind when you encounter a lyrebird in the wild, would work equally well. Drawing on the sensory experience of the forest, lyrebird encounters and mythologies, artists Kate Baker, Gretel Taylor and Anthony Magen have put together Dances with Lyrebirds depicting the unique forest-dweller through dance, photography and sound. Throughout June and July, the project has included the photography exhibition at Burrinja in Upwey, a Soundwalk led by Anthony at Badger Weir and a presentation by the Sherbrooke Lyrebird Study Group on Lyrebird ecology and folklore. A dance created by the Indigenous Djirri Djirri Dance Group to honour Bulen-bulen (the lyrebird) was a sensational introduction to the exhibition, along with Jackie Rutten’s vocalisation and violin by Myfanwy Alderson. Gretel Taylor’s dance, performed in the exhibition space, surrounded by Kate Baker’s photography, was a rare, magical experience that brought the quirky and flamboyant characteristics of the lyrebird to life. The project is funded by the Shire of Yarra Ranges and Healesville Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank. The Dances with Lyrebirds photographic exhibition is on display at The Memo, Healesville, until Wednesday 26 August.

Walking Wounded founder Brian Freeman trekked into the town on Saturday as part of an Australia-wide crusade to raise awareness and funds for veterans.

Feet first into charity trek effort By PETER DOUGLAS HEALESVILLE had the chance to dig deep for returned, wounded Australian veterans over the weekend. Walking Wounded founder Brian Freeman, who is a veteran, trekked into the town on Saturday as part of an Australia-wide crusade to raise awareness and funds for veterans. Mr Freeman visited the Maroondah Dam in the afternoon, as party of an 89 city and town itenerary that takes in some of the nation’s most challenging terrain. The stop-off was just one of many during the 65-day campaign, during which Brian works on average 65km per day. This also includes kayaking across Bass Strait. Mr Freeman is due to finish his walk on 21 August. Picture: GREG CARRICK

Bellydancing the Gypsy way By KATH GANNAWAY THE story behind the latest exhibition at the Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton is as rich and colourful as the exhibition itself. “Gypsy Trails to Warburton” revisits Zaar Bellydance, a troupe of Upper Yarra women who embraced a tribal style of dance that has its roots in the Gypsy dance traditions of the Middle East with classical Indian, Flamenco and modern dance influences. For around 15 years, the women, including Lindy Schneider who has worked with gallery co-ordinator Suyin Chan to curate the exhibition, were integral players in the cultural events of the region, and beyond. Bringing the striking and exotic costumes into the light once again has been an emotional journey for Lindy who, as a new-comer to Warburton, was captivated by her first encounter with the troupe. “I was standing in front of Earth Bazaar and watching Zade (Mackenzie), Bianca (Rich) and Ange (Flynn) and I was just so moved by seeing these amazing women,” she said. She joined the troupe that also included Sophie Corbett and Karin Ricketts. “The dance form appealed because it is about capturing the strength and beauty of the female form, and is something that is accessible to any woman,” Lindy said. “Despite body shape or height, you can step into it and feel wonderful and strong. “It wasn’t flighty ... it has

Zaar Bellydance performed at local festivals and private functions as well as for charity events including Melbourne City Mission and Collingwood Children’s Farm. A performance that lasted just a 20 or 30 minutes could take hours to prepare for - and that doesn’t take into account the countless hours spent making costumes, gathering fabric and the adornments that bring them to life.

The troupe, from left, Ange Flynn, Karin Ricketts, Bianca Rich, Sophie Corbett, Lindy Schneider and Zade Mackenzie. 142537 All the costumes have been handmade by the women who have collected ancient textiles, coins, trinkets and artefacts from around the world to create unique pieces of art that reflect their individual personalities. “We would make costumes together and there was almost a craft circle feel to it,” Lindy said as the finishing touches were put to the exhibition on Friday.

“Someone would find a piece of fabric and would be so excited to share it with the others.” Changes in the women’s circumstances saw the Zaar Bellydance era come to an end, but the friendships have endured, and are celebrated in the exhibition with amazing photographs. The exhibition at The Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton is on until 19 August.

A STRIKING, sultry and honest play is set for the stage at Healesville’s Memo Hall on Saturday, and the Mail has two double passes to give away for the show. Drowning in Veronica Lake will be performed at the Memo from 7.30pm on Saturday 8 August. Alex Ellis plays Veronica Lake, a colossal Hollywood star in the 1940s who was smart, sexy and typecast as a femme fatale from an early age. She polarised the industry, with people either loving or hating her, became the benchmark for self-destructive celebrities. Set 40 years later, Drowning in Veronica Lake focuses on the show’s namesake wrestling with her stardom, alcohol, men and her steady decline towards obscurity.

Written by Phil Ormsby, the play attempts to shine a light on celebrity, tragedy and isolation in the context of those who are in the limelight, in front of millions of watching eyes. The Mail has two double passes to give away to the show, each valued at $44. To be in the draw, go to the Mail News Group Facebook page at http://on.fb.me/1L9Hawf (case sensitive) and like, share and comment on the relevant post. Winners will be drawn at 5pm on Thursday 6 August. Good luck! Drowning in Veronica Lake was also performed at Burrinja on Saturday 1 August.

THE second film to be adapted from a John Green novel, Paper Towns isn’t as solid as last year’s The Fault In Our Stars, but it’s still an enjoyable effort. Quentin (Nat Wolff), a straight-laced straight-A high school student, has had a crush on the more rebellious Margo (Cara Delevingne) since they were kids. But when Margo runs away one day, Quentin

resolves to find her and tell her how he really feels. The thing is - Margo isn’t worth it. She’s a pushy, vindictive hipster who only speaks in lofty platitudes. Delevingne’s performance is somewhat flat, and the film hits a low when she’s on-screen. But that’s the point. Quentin is pursuing the myth of his cool, perfect soul-mate, and in this film, the journey is more important than the destination. Paper Towns develops from an engaging mystery film into a charming road-trip movie. Wolff and his co-stars play off

each other beautifully, and the humour is very natural. The film maintains a warm, earnest energy during the trip, and it’s uplifting to watch Quentin become more adventurous and have one last hurrah with his friends before college. Paper Towns is a funny and touching little film that compels its younger viewers to seriously think about what (or who) they want in life. If only the focal point (Margo) was a more interesting character. - SETH HYNES

Regular checks needed IF YOU are on immunosuppressant medication, you are at increased risk of skin cancer. Quite a lot of people need to take long-term immunosuppressant medicines such as Cyclosporin or corticosteroids. People who have chronic rheumatological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus, for example. People who have had kidney, heart or lung transplants are another example. These very necessary medicines unfortunately have the side-effect of increasing the risk of skin cancers on the sun-exposed skin. It is thus recommended people on these medications have a routine skin check every six to 12 months and report any changing or rapidly growing skin lesion to the doctor promptly. Meanwhile, Sun Patrol clinic is reminding all those in the commu-

nity to undergo regular checks, with a full skin check appointment taking only 20 minutes. Sun Patrol clinic provides an accurate and thorough medical examination of the whole skin surface for signs of skin cancer. Our doctors are fully trained and experienced in the technique of dermoscopy (looking at the skin surface under 20-30 times magnification under high illumination for more accurate diagnosis of skin cancer). They are also qualified in dermal imaging and when appropriate will take pictures of any suspicious lesions for later follow-up and comparison. A brand-new, state of the art computerised, high-resolution dermoscopy and image storage system will be used. Sun Patrol is located at 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. For more information, contact 9769 3358 or email sunpatrolscc@ gmail.com.

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.

They're oldies but goodies By KATH GANNAWAY OLDER drivers get a bad wrap, but an ongoing study by Monash University shows that as drivers age, they are taking the privilege seriously. The baby boomer generation has more access to vehicles - cars and bikes - than any before them and are more reliant on this personal form of transport. Ozcandrive, a five-year collaborative study, led by the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC), is the first to evaluate and track drivers as they age, both in clinical environments and out on the road. It’s the first to combine extensive data detailing every single car journey, with comprehensive health and medical analysis. Over 300 drivers aged 75 and over in Australia and over 900 drivers aged 70 and over in Canada, have taken part in the study, allowing researchers to install a data recording device in their vehicle. Experts say the study will provide vital information on how older drivers change over time, how driving patterns change and how declining health and functional ability can impact on driving. Ozcandrive Lead Investigator, Associate Professor Jude Charlton from MUARC said the research was of national and international relevance. “This study is generating a rich volume of data which will provide invaluable insights about older drivers to inform policy for the safe mobility of older people,” Associate Professor Charlton said. Project Chief Investigator, Dr Sjaan Koppel from MUARC, said the reason it was important to study this generation of older people was because they have had more access to vehicle use than any other generation. “This generation is extremely active, they drive frequently and are very reliant on their cars,” she said. “If we’re going to get prepared for the baby boomer population who will be even more active as they age, it’s important that as a society we understand these people and support them,” Dr Koppel said. The end of the fifth year of data collection was marked in July with a

Abel and Ann Buissink of Healesville are part of the older and wiser driver generation. 142517 celebration involving study participants, project partners and guests and included a keynote presentation by the project lead investigators describing early findings. The event also launched the next phase of the project, Ozcandrive II, as a result of funding from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), and continued support from Eastern Health and the Ozcandrive partners. Associate Professor Charlton said the study had clearly shown that older

drivers took the health and safety of themselves and others very seriously. “We have found that older drivers are really aware that they are getting older, so they change their patterns to accommodate their health and changes in functional abilities. “For the first time, the data from participants’ in-car recording device is confirming what drivers tell us: that is, as they age, they are driving relatively less frequently at night and during busy times to keep themselves

safe,” she said. The broad aims of the project are to reduce vehicle-related injuries and death and improve the quality of life of older drivers by extending their safe mobility. “The study will ultimately lead to safer roads for all through the development of innovative management strategies for older drivers, including a simple, objective screening tool to assist clinicians to identify at-risk older drivers who may be unsafe,” Associate

Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Professor Charlton said. Ozcandrive is funded by a $1.8 million Linkage Project Grant from the Australian Research Council (ARC), with MUARC working in partnership with La Trobe University, VicRoads, the Victorian Government Department of Justice and Victoria Police, the Transport Accident Commission, New Zealand Transport Agency Community Road Safety Fund, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and Eastern Health.

Acquire a taste for oral health DENTAL Health Week is a community-based awareness campaign that aims to teach Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health. Each year, Dental Week focuses on a new theme; this year’s being ‘Sports and Oral Health’. The 2015 campaign is set to urge Australians who are involved with sports to have a discussion with their dentist around the impact their involvement may have on their oral health, and ways to prevent sports-related dental trauma. Three main issues that will be the topic of conversation this year will include: mouthguard awareness, dental trauma/tooth first aid, sports hydration, dental caries and erosion. With more and more Australian children getting active and joining sporting clubs, it is important for parents to educate them on dental care from an early age. Many clinics throughout Australia jump on board for Dental Week by decorating their practices, giving talks and hosting discussions at local schools, businesses and sporting clubs. Meanwhile, to assist clubs and schools to deliver the highest level of safety to their members and students, the Australian Dental Association, in-conjunction with Sports Medicine Australia, has created a mouthguard policy. The benefits of good oral health shouldn’t be underestimated. The policy is intended to be used by clubs and schools as a template for implementing a schools promote mouthguard awareness and Step 2: We’d love to see a photo of your strict ‘No Mouthguard, No Play’ policy, with- injury prevention. team/club showing off their new ‘No Mouthout exception.

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.

Drivers need slick skills By PETER DOUGLAS FOR some during winter, staying indoors, rugged up and watching the television can be the way to while away the cooler months. For others, there is nothing more exciting than hitting the alpine regions, either for play or merely to experience the wonder of Mother Nature. But snow-goers planning to visit popular destinations such as Mount Donna Buang, or even further afield such as Mount Buller, Mount Hotham or Falls Creek, preparation is key to ensuring a safe return. That’s not only on the slopes, but on the roads, too. Drivers are reminded that alpine driving is safe, provided time is taking to prepare for the trip. TAC road safety manager, Liz Waller, said there were many initiatives promoting safe alpine-driving this winter, particularly among younger drivers. For example, she said Vanessa Bute from the TAC would be at Mount Buller to promote safe driving practices. “Buller is a perfect fit for Vanessa where young people love to go for a good time on the mountain,“ Ms Waller said. “We know young people are more likely to be involved in road trauma and, given the additional hazards involved with driving in the snow and wet and slippery conditions, it’s important that young people hitting the slopes keep safety in mind.“ Vanessa will be parked at the Horse Hill chairlift 7.30am-11am and 3.30pm-6pm each Saturday and Sunday until 9 August. Ms Waller encouraged anyone visiting Buller this winter to adapt their driving to suit the conditions and gave the following safety tips: Drive slowly on ice and snow to retain traction; Braking should be gentle and not left to the last second; Use an even pressure on the accelerator to lessen the chances of wheel spin and loss of control; Use lower gears than normal to reduce speed and assist in keeping good traction; If necessary, give way to vehicles going up the mountain as they have

· · · · ·

During winter in 2014, about six cars came off the road in icy conditions on the road to Mt Donna Buang. more difficulty in starting again if stopped; Always carry chains and ensure they are fitted correctly when required; Ensure your vehicle has roadworthy tyres. More locally, Mount Donna Buang continues to remain a good drive up the mountain, where the summit turns into snow play. But please note, the mountain can be extremely busy during the snow season, so delays may be encountered. Also, Donna Buang Road may close at any stage if conditions become hazardous, or if the summit car parks are full.

· ·

Drivers need to prepare accordingly if they’re to travel on snow roads.

ANOTHER week and another snide letter about Yarra Glen is published (Little Detroit?, 21 July). Local businesses and community groups consistently find themselves targets of glib mockery. Personally, I enjoy the shopping experience in Yarra Glen. I appreciate the dedication of local traders and their support of the local community. I am in awe of the devotion of groups who care for the well-being of the people in this area, including the Op Shop, HICCI, the Living and Learning Centre, kinder and play groups, etc. What would happen if more people expressed this care? What if our grumps turned into compassionate citizens? I suspect that many of the ‘problems’ of our township would be addressed with kindness and competence instead of angst. Practical support is a challenge for both our Chamber of Commerce and our resident grumps. Elissa Roper, Yarra Glen.

CHRISTINE Fyffe’s “call to action” (‘Mail’, 7 July) on climate change is framed in the classic Liberal Party doctrine of focussing on ‘personal responsibility’, while minimising the role of government. It is this ideology that is symptomatic of why Australia is rapidly becoming an international pariah over climate change under the Abbott Government. Sure, those individuals with a green conscience and thousands of dollars can buy the

solar panels, green power and water tanks that Christine suggests. And it’s true such actions are not “dependent on government signing global treaties”, but letting individuals decide their own level of commitment to tackling climate change is not only unfair, the last 20 years have proven we are incapable of achieving it. Only with strong leadership and co-ordination from government can we spread the burden of this task equitably and at sufficient scale to bring Australia back in line with what the majority of the world is already doing. It is government incentives, regulations, building codes, fuel levies, product performance standards and pollution controls that alter business behaviour, products and services. It is government incentives that have driven the take up of renewables and electric vehicles overseas. It is investment in public transport and bike paths. It was government prices on carbon pollution that was effectively shifting our electricity generation from coal to renewables before its removal. It is the government mandated Renewable Energy Target that is driving clean energy in this country and it is through targets set by governments around the world that allows all countries to undertake meaningful action because we know everyone else is doing their share of the lifting as well. So you ask; “what are you, the reader, going to do now to take action on climate change”? Vote for a party who is taking the issue seriously, that’s what. David Blair, Healesville.

It’s a ‘yes’ from most

IN the ‘Mail’ (21 July), Cait Hoogenbosch - in having a shot at Lyn Kennedy, claiming she was comparing apples to oranges - certainly doesn’t let the facts get in the way of a good story. In attempting to discredit multiculturalism, she claims that multiculturalism is a plan devised at the Frankfurt School of social theory by communists with the intent to destroy Western civilisation. This is a conspiracy theory promoted by the extremist right wing Tea Party and attempts to draw a link between critical theory from the Frankfurt School and multiculturalism. A very long bow, indeed. Anyone can check out the Tea Party related websites to see just how extreme some of their thinking is. It is classic misrepresentation and the scapegoating of cultural minorities for problems that have diverse causes. Ms Hoogenbosch also takes a swipe at “legitimate, elected governments (that) cede the people’s power to bureaucracies” with the shire and the United Nations getting the treatment. Unfortunately the rant is ill-informed at best but is at least consistent in handling the truth carelessly. But to the real issue: that of refugees and Australia’s immigration policy. In the worst refugee crisis since World War II, Australia’s response stands out for all the wrong reasons. We now hide behind the politically convenient and socially acceptable justification of preventing deaths at sea. This justification can be legitimately held but equally can conveniently cloak bigotry and racial, cultural and religious intolerance. At the same time, the far greater life-threatening persecution that legitimate refugees have fled from their countries of origin is conveniently ignored. No-one has an easy fix but understanding, tolerance and compassion should be cornerstones in Australia’s efforts. Sadly, our efforts in recent times do not reflect well on us as a society. Geoff Corcoran, Yarra Junction.

THE MAIL’S straw poll into same-sex marriage has wound up after receiving 100 replies in the space of two weeks. The poll came after the announcement that La Trobe MP Jason Wood was surveying his electorate on same-sex marriage to determine his representations to Parliament on the matter. Casey MP Tony Smith ruled

out following suit, and indicated that he would not support changing the Marriage Act to allow same-sex couples to marry. The poll asked “Based on what you know at this point in time, would you support or oppose allowing same-sex couples to marry in Australia?” The survey was capped at 100 responses, as per the limi-

tations of the website provider, and resulted in 82 respondents indicating their support for allowing same-sex marriage. The other 18 respondents said they would oppose allowing the couples to marry - no respondents were undecided. The Mail thanks all members of the public who took the time to answer the brief survey.

Healesville tennis results

Athletes running on YARRA Ranges Athletics athletes competed in round seven of the Athletics Victoria XCR15 season on Saturday at the demanding Brimbank Park. The event was the 123rd running of the Victorian 10-mile cross-country championships, held every year since 1892. The course included the imposing climb up ‘Col de Brimbank’ made much easier by the cacophony of cow bells, vuvuzelas and other noises from spectators lining the course. As is expected by all clubs throughout Victoria, the Yarra Ranges Athletics team loudly supported their fellow clubmates, especially when they needed it most. Standout performance of the day was a convincing win by Ruby Dixon in the under-14 girls 4km race. The win sealed a dominant season for Ruby, who also claimed the overall under-14 girls season title, a great effort by Ruby in one of the

The club’s only other medallist from the day was James Laven in the under-16 boys 6km, finishing third, enough for James to secure the overall under-16 boys XCR15 title. Special mention also to our club athletes making their individual debuts at an AV XCR event, well done

to Jordan Brown (open men), Maddie Laven (under-14 girls) and Mia Strudley (under-14 girls). The remainder of the club competed at the Cockatoo Hills Challenge on a very testing, wet course. The club turned out in force again to retain the Hills Challenge team trophy. Check out the website for results and photos. Further afield, club athletes Lucas Taylor and Lee Taylor competed in the Victorian Road Walking Championships. Both athletes recording excellent performances, Lucas claiming third place in the under-20 men’s 10km and Lee finishing sixth in the under-16 girls 5km. Next week is a fun day/obstacle course challenge at Margaret Lewis Reserve from 8.45am. Come dressed in your finest superstar or superhero costume for a fun, challenging and exciting morning of cross-country.

Healesville juniors: it’s a mixed bag IN the final home and away games for the season, the Healesville juniors were spread out across the Valley. Under 9s, 10s and 12s travelled to Belgrave, the Under 11s to Monbulk, Under 14s to Seville and the Under 12s Girls to Ferntree Gully. The Under 10s finished the season well, with another outstanding performance, showcasing how much the players have learnt over the season. The Under 11s took on Emerald at Monbulk and finished off the game with a threegoal final quarter, but, unfortunately, their opposition had a winning lead going into the final quarter. The players have showed great improvement over the season and should be proud of their efforts. Yarra Glen hosted Healesville Under 12s at Belgrave, and it was a genuine contest from the outset. Very blustery conditions made for hard work, and the intent was desperate and strong from both teams. The Healesville team had periods of play that put the score on the board against a determined opposition, but it didn’t come easily. A great team effort to be undefeated during the home and away season ... now for the finals. The Under 12s Girls played the top team,

Ferntree Gully; the girls struggled to contain the taller and stronger opposition, but it was pleasing to see the effort and improvement from the girls over the season. The Under 14s got out to a quick start with the five goals to none in the first quarter. Yarra Glen held the Healesville team in the second quarter to one goal while kicking three of their own. The Healesville team came out firing after the half-time break to score a match-winning lead in the third quarter. Next week, the finals commence, with the Healesville juniors having four teams competing - Under 11s, 12s, 16s and Under 12s Girls.

Grooming new set of Bloods By KATH GANNAWAY THE future of the Healesville Bloods went on show as halftime entertainment at Healesville Football Netball Club’s Breast Cancer fund-raiser on Saturday, and it’s looking good. The verdict from the sidelines was that the club can look forward to a bright future with equal measures of enthusiasm and skill on display in bucketloads.

Tough conditions afield WELL winter has arrived. Every game this weekend was played in tough conditions. Wet weather footy this year has not really been seen by many players and Saturday was their first real taste. Mount Evelyn’s win over Belgrave saves the relegation race. The final 5 for Division 1 looks set; the only thing left to see is who can grab that elusive second chance. Fourth and fifth spot in Division 2 is still anyone’s. A bye to Gembrook this week may see them jump Seville if they can’t get over Kinglake. Musical chairs all around. DIVISION 1 SENIORS Mount Evelyn 16.12 (108) d Belgrave 11.16 (82)

Mount Evelyn now look safe from relegation after recoding a great 26-point win over Belgrave. Belgrave started off very well and looked to be in control as they booted 6 goals to 2 in the opening term to lead by 27 points at quarter time. Mount Evelyn looked inspired in the second quarter as their running game was first class and all of a sudden Belgrave looked slow, Mount Evelyn scored seven goals for the term while holding Belgrave to just four behinds to go into half-time with an 11-point lead. The 2nd half was certainly a good battle. Then, the last quarter saw both sides kick three goals which was enough to see Mount Evelyn salute at the final siren and record arguably their best win of the year. Mount Evelyn best players: R. Cowan (2 goals), M. Martin (4 goals), J. Gardam Belgrave best players: T. Stubley (1 goal), D. Collins (2 goals), D. Bilston (2 goals) Healesville 13.13 (91) d Monbulk 10.10 (70)

Healesville pulled off a great victory over second-placed Monbulk after a dominant first half. Healesville looked the hungrier side from the outset as they won the contested ball and hit every contest hard. They booted 10 goals to 4 in the first half, six of those goals coming in the second term while holding Monbulk to just one major in that same term. Healesville’s lead at half-time was a very handy 35 points. Healesville may have only booted two goals in the final quarter, but they held Monbulk to just one major to record a great win as they head towards finals. Healesville best players: A. Davies (2 goals), H. Prest (1 goal), B. Nicholls (1 goal) Monbulk best players: T. Gromer, J. Major, K. Gray (3 goals) Olinda Ferny Creek 11.13 (79) d Upwey Tecoma 11.12 (78)

Olinda was given one hell of a

fright as they had to come from behind to win by a solitary point over Upwey. Olinda started off well with a 3-goal-to-1 opening term to lead by 14 points, but Upwey’s second quarter was superb as they denied Olinda’s run and slotted 7 goals to 1, and at the main break Upwey held a five-point advantage. Olinda had to dig deep in the last with some risks paying off. They booted 4 goals to 2 to hit the lead late in the game and was able to hold on to taste victory at the final siren. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: K. Currie, G. Stevens, D. Rohrmann (2 goals) Upwey Tecoma best players: K. Grenda (1 goal), L. Beacom, B. Sheppard (1 goal) Wandin 36.14 (239) d Yarra Glen 2.5 (17)

Wandin completely destroyed Yarra Glen in a performance that was first rate for them and embarrassing for their opponents. Wandin booted 18 goals in the first half with 11 of them coming in the second quarter as they raced to a 106-point lead at half-time. The second half didn’t get any better for Yarra Glen as Wandin continued their dominance. Wandin best players: M. Polkinghorne (2 goals), K. Talevski (11 goals), J. Taylor (1 goal) Yarra Glen best players: D. Hurley (1 goal), R. Gurney (1 goal), J. Baughan Woori Yallock 9.12 (66) d Warburton Millgrove 7.8 (50)

Woori Yallock had to fight off a very determined Warburton to eventually prevail by 16 points. The first quarter was a goal-for-goal affair, with both sides slotting three goals and Woori leading by just one point at the first change. Woori did pull away slightly in the second, scoring 3 goals to 1 and at the main break their lead was a narrow 15 points. The second half was a torrid battle as neither team found any real ascendancy. Every time Warburton looked to challenge, Woori Yallock had the answers to keep their lead. Both sides scored three goals apiece in the second half which saw Woori run out winners in what wasn’t a pretty game but still a pretty good contest.

5.2 (32) apiece at the main break. The last term was a similar one to the third for Gembrook as they once again had their chances but only scored five points while Yarra Junction booted 1.2 to come away with a very impressive victory. Gembrook Cockatoo best players: L. Frazzetto, C. Vernal, J. Raymond Emerald 8.10 (58) d Thornton Eildon 4.13 (37)

Emerald has dealt Thornton Eildon their second loss on the trot winning by 21 points in a low-scoring encounter. There was only two goals scored in the first term, but they both went the way of Emerald while Thornton Eildon could only manage three behinds. The second quarter opened up a little as both teams spread more around the ground and goals did come a bit more freely; it was an even quarter with both sides booting three goals and Emerald going to the main break with a 17-point advantage. There was only three goals scored in the second half, but it was Emerald that had the better of it adding 2.5 to 1.7 to come away with a very handy victory and a psychological advantage as these sides could meet in finals. Emerald best players: S. Paull, R. Simpson, D. Volta Thornton Eildon best players: R. Chapman, J. Herridge, M. Gower Seville 6.8 (44) d Powelltown 5.10 (40)

Seville has moved to fifth spot on the ladder after upsetting Powelltown to the tune of just four points. This was a very low scoring affair that Powelltown led at every change but the not the final siren. Powelltown led by 13 points at quarter time after a 3- goal-to-1 opening term where they did have the majority of the play. Seville’s defence was superb in the last quarter as they stifled Powelltown’s attack holding them to just three points while Seville added 2.2 to hit the front late in the game and was able to hold on to win and keep their finals dream well and truly alive.

Woori Yallock best players: K. Busoli, M. Baxter (2 goals), J. Matthews (1 goal) Warburton Millgrove best players: T. Walker, B. Winzer, D. Brookes

Seville best players: N. O’Keefe, D. Groen, B. Abbruzzese (2 goals) Powelltown best players: D. Hadjer, M. McLaughlin, M. Lord Yea: Bye

Yarra Junction has pulled off somewhat of an upset with a stirring 23-point victory over Gembrook. The first half was a great battle and you couldn’t pick a winner at halftime as scores were all tied up at

Healesville’s Jordan Shaw and Monbulk’s Jarrod Major contest the ball in the first quarter of what proved to be a spectacular win for the Bloods who were hosting the Pink Round to raise funds for Australian Breast Cancer Network and the McGrath Foundation.
