Villas knocked back By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Ranges Council has unanimously rejected a call from the owners of Burnham Beeches in Sherbrooke for a planning scheme amendment that would allow up to 80 hotel villas on the historic site. The villas would be sold as investment properties to raise funds to complete the overall development, the 11 August meeting heard. Owners Shannon Bennett and Adam Garrisson had requested that the council seek authorisation from the Minister for Planning to exhibit the amendment as the first step towards the second stage of their major redevelopment of the property. The proposed amendment would be a change to the current Special Use Zone and facilitate the three-stage master plan including the villas, restaurants, a brewery, spa, concert facilities, agriculture and, in the third stage, the restoration of the original Norris building as a hotel and function centre. While rejecting the application, the council called gave in-principle support for an amendment that would support the redevelopment of the Norris Building, but not one with “intense residential development� as proposed. Objectors to the proposal say the hotel villas proposed in stage two are an over-development of the site and a de facto residential development. But Mr Bennett and Mr Garrisson maintain they want to build 68 villas, not 80 indicated in the council notes, and said they would be strictly hotel accommodation with measures in place to ensure they were not used as owner dwellings. Betty Marsden, president of The Save the Dandenongs League, spoke against the proposal and was applauded several times as she obviously reflected the views of the majority of people who came off the mountain for the meeting. She said while stage one, spearheaded by The Piggery Cafe, seemed to be working well, stage two was the problem.
“It is an extremely large development, surrounded by Green Wedge, and is of the type of small-scale subdivision that would not be allowed in that area,� she said. “It is contrary to everything the council has worked for in the past 30 or 40 years,� she said, adding that it was contrary to the Regional Development Strategy and would set a bad precedent. Granted extra time to elaborate on “other concerns� Ms Marsden said the effect on the local environment, traffic and access issues and bushfire risk were all issues that needed to be addressed. “It’s a bit shallow ... sounds like a good idea at the time, but lacks detail,� she said. Ms Marsden also called for the
reinstatement of third party rights to object which were removed when the property was zoned ‘Special Use Major Tourism Development’ several years ago. “It’s not right that people aren’t informed, and have no right of appeal,� she said. Mr Bennett and Mr Garrisson defended both their right to call for an amendment, and the proposed villa development, rejecting claims that it was a residential development. Met with heckling and interruptions from some members of the gallery as they spoke of their vision for the site, the men said the stage two villa plan was an investment opportunity that would fund the Norris Building redevelopment. Mr Garrisson said the Norris hotel
proposal of 150 rooms wouldn’t work. “We have done a lot of analysis and the way to get the minimum bedroom capacity to make this a viable business is to create extra rooms by building the villas,� he said. Responding to questions from the councillors, Mr Garrisson said there were a number of mechanisms and restrictions attached to the sales that would ensure that the villas did not become permanent dwellings. Cr Mike Clarke moved the alternative motion which supported in principle an amendment that would support the redevelopment of the Norris Building, but not ‘intense residential development�. He said the crucial matter was the extensive nature of the development. “I believe the intention is genuine

and where I see the fundamental problem is in finishing Norris to a high standard,� he said. He said that, and how to fund it was the significant sticking point. Mr Bennett told the Mail last week that he believed the purpose of the meeting was lost. “We were there to seek authorisation to exhibit the amendment and to start the process of community consultation, but it got lost in the scaremongering of a small number of people,� he said. He said he agreed that more detail was required and said that would come at the planning stage. The Mail understands there is a community meeting to be held next week to further discuss the issue and Mr Bennett has indicated his willingness to attend.

By PETER DOUGLAS FORMER Upwey High School student Amy Page (nee Stewart) has been rewarded for her dedication, being named the 2015 Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) ‘Young Pharmacist of the Year’. Ms Page, who works in a GP clinic, received the award in recognition of her balance of academic, clinical and policy development. Presently, she is completing her PhD on de-prescribing. Ms Page said she was humbled to be the recipient.
“I am particularly grateful when looking at the exceptional pharmacists who are previous recipients of the award,” she said. “This award is a celebration of the teams I work with,” she said. “I’m lucky enough to have worked with passionate, strong teams. “I am privileged to work with amazing health care professionals who inspire me every day.” Ms Page said the award also acknowledged the influence
that other people had on her career. “In particular, my family are always supporting and encouraging,” she said. National President of PSA, Joe Demarte, said Ms Page was well-known in academic pharmacy circles as a progressive young pharmacist, whose opinions and insight were well beyond her years. “She is a very driven pharmacist who strives to improve the health outcomes of elderly patients and other at-risk groups,” he said.
Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online. Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

Everyone’s a winner! Hi, I’m Matthew Rooth and I am an A-Grade Electrician. I can change your old, tired, expensive “power-sucking” halogen downlights to power saving LED globes free of charge. LED globes have revolutionized energy efficient lighting. LED lights are super energy efficient, using approximately 85% less energy than halogen lighting – meaning significant savings on your power bills. There are so many benefits of using LED Globes; More Efficient / Longer Lasting – LEDs have a much longer lifespan than other types of lighting – lasting up to 45,000hrs. Durable - Since LEDs do not have a filament, they are not damaged under circumstances when a regular bulb maybe broken. Cool – These bulbs do not cause heat build-up. Cost Effective – again, 85% less energy than halogen, therefore you’re saving up to 85% on lighting costs. Best of all, the Environmental Benefits. As we become more aware of our impact on the environment, many of us are taking steps to ensure we do everything possible to protect our natural resources. This is a step in the right direction. Not only do LEDs last as much as 20 times longer than other lighting sources, and therefore don’t need to be replaced often (reduces the impact of manufacturing, packaging and shipping) but LEDs also are designed to provide more than a decade of near maintenancefree service. Less servicing also reduces environmental impact. LEDs consume significantly less energy than other lights running at a much lower wattage of electricity, which is up to 85% less energy than standard lighting systems therefore contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases. The high cost of LED globes are one reason most businesses or residents alike haven’t made the change over. This is where I come in. I am a licenced A-Grade Electrician and accredited Government Contractor, I will exchange your 50watt halogen downlight globes for 6 watt LED globes. You get compliance papers – and it’s free – with no strings attached. This initiative is apart of the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) scheme.

Fire-fighters beefed up received $30,000 contribution from CFA to buy a new tanker. The new tanker will assist the brigade to access fires they may not have been able to in the older equipment they are using currently. When announcing the grants Minister for Emergency Services Jane Garrett said the State Government was proud to support volunteers in the community. “Volunteers are the backbone of our community. They help protect the lives of more than 3.3 million Victorians and deserve our support,” she said.
By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS BELGRAVE CFA has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Victorian Government’s Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program. The grant is one of 202 grants totalling more than $7.1 million provided to CFA brigades across the state. Under the program, the government contributes $2 for every $1 contributed by local volunteer groups up to $100,000. The Belgrave CFA has raised $100,000 to go towards a new tanker through their annual art show and other fund-raising events and also
No animal panel review signatures of people opposed to the Amendment. Councillors voted 4-3 against the original motion which abandoned the amendment, but returned to the table for an addendum that would see the council write to the State Government Minister for Agriculture seeking that Yarra Ranges Council be consulted on a review currently underway on emerging animal husbandry practices. Council will also consider the status of any outcomes of the review of definitions relating to intensive animal husbandry. The amended motion was carried unanimously.
By KATH GANNAWAY Staff were forced to evacuate the building blaze in Monbulk.
YARRA Ranges Council has abandoned plans to put the proposed Amendment C146 on intensive animal husbandry to an independent planning panel. As reported in the Mail on 11 August, A VCAT decision that ruled it is the nutritional value of food brought onto properties to feed livestock, not the amount, marks farming operations as intensive. Amendment C146 was on public exhibition for more than two months earlier this year and attracted 165 written submissions, along with a formal petition of 181

Workers flee fire SEVERAL CFA crews from the Dandenong Ranges yesterday attended a blaze at a Monbulk panel beating business, with workers forced to evacuate the building. While the cause had not yet been determined, the fire, which is not believed
to be suspicious, was brought under control about 10am. All those working in the building evacuated the building safely. CFA District 13 Operations Officer Ian Cross said crews were called to the fire on Main Road around 9.50am. “We had crews internally
attacking the fire which quickly stopped the spread of the fire,” he said. “The building is heavily fire and smoke-damaged.” Crews from Mount Evelyn, Monbulk, Sassafras, Belgrave, Kallista and The Patch attended the incident.

Put equality to the people THE issue of same-sex marriage is one that has had a strong focus in our electorate in recent times. I am happy to say that we have had over 5000 responses so far to #LATROBEVOTES, and we’re still taking more responses each day. The #LATROBEVOTES survey really confirmed what I thought was the case. I privately had already changed my view since the last election for a number of reasons - but I had to know that
From my
desk Jason Wood MP
Federal Member for La Trobe
the majority of the electorate would support my change in view. I went to the last election opposed to same-sex marriage and it would have been unfair to the people of La
Trobe to change my conscience vote without that confirmation. #LATROBEVOTES has also had other benefits in that, by all reports, it is currently the largest survey of its kind Australia-wide. This meant that the results weighed in heavily when I spoke to the joint party room recently and I’ve got no doubt that the great response rate was a strong demonstration to the Prime Minister that individuals want to have their voice heard.
Many constituents have also asked me recently whether I would cross the floor if a vote on the matter were taken in parliament. I don’t think there will even be an opportunity to cross the floor on this matter, as a vote on the issue is unlikely to get to a vote in the House of Representatives. My preferred position on this issue, and even Marriage Equality Australia have now come out and acknowledged it too, is that the parliament work on a question to be put to the people in a
cross-party manner, and hold a plebiscite at the next election to let all Australians decide on the matter. The reason I don’t like the idea of a referendum is because you’ll find that referenda have the added requirement of a majority of voters in a majority of the states (i.e. at least four out of six states), thus making it more difficult to pass. I say we take this question to ‘all’ Australian people, just as I did with constituents of La Trobe and #LATROBEVOTES.
Letters Hopes in vain? LIKE many residents, I was recently filled with hope to see our Federal MP for La Trobe Jason Wood take interest in the important issue of marriage equality. Though his survey methods were questionable, as was the amount he would have spent on the direct mail-out to every home in the electorate, I appreciated that he acknowledged the importance of the issue and was willing to fairly represent the community’s wishes. Unsurprisingly, the #LaTrobeVotes results quickly began to represent the wider national trend of significant and widespread support for equal marriage. However, I know I’m not alone when I worry upon hearing Mr Wood publicly declare he would vote how the community wanted ‘if’ there was to

Which side of the fence? JASON Wood has used significant taxpayer funds to poll his constituents in La Trobe over the issue of same-sex marriage. The voters of La Trobe have supported samesex marriage in his polling. When you read this letter, Jason should have already defied the Prime Minister and crossed the floor of Federal Parliament on this issue. He is simply doing what the majority of his constituents expected him to do. A private member’s bill is expected to go before parliament on Tuesday, 18 August. If Jason did not not cross the floor, he would morally be compelled to immediately resign from parliament as he would have clearly stated that the potential damage to his pre-selection chances for the next election were more important to him than the will of the voters he claims to represent. Jason, I applaud you for having the courage to represent the majority of your constituents on this issue. But before you actually cash in and gain a few votes for the 2016 election, I, and many others, still want to know which side of the fence you personally sit on in regard to same-sex marriage. Sean Gothe, Belgrave.

be a free vote ... ‘if’. We now know the reality of that very ‘if’ with after six hours of robust debate the LNP party room voting against a free vote. Last week I got married - I was able to joyfully celebrate love and my relationship with my friends and family and I deeply want this for ‘all’ Australians. I know many La Trobe residents share my passion and deeply hope our federal MP is not on the wrong side of history. I have tried (and failed) several times to contact Mr Wood directly and have been barred from both his Twitter and Facebook pages after asking initial questions about equal marriage. So, here I am, asking it publicly in the local paper; Mr Wood, now we know there will not be a free vote for LNP members on marriage equality, will you cross the floor to accurately represent the community of which you serve? Amy Muratore, Upwey.
AT THE Yarra Ranges Council meeting on Tuesday, 11 August, I witnessed a terrible and undemocratic example of groupthink. A proposed Burnham Beeches planning scheme amendment to give the developers an opportunity to commence public feedback on their vision for the 23 hectares of land was rejected. Yet again they were asked by the council to provide more information, as they have ad nauseam for years. The usual suspects came out in force with their well-worn tactics of stifling any development in the Hills. From the leftist anti-development culture that pervades the council, to the noisy ‘not in my backyard’ crowd which shouts down anyone considering changing any part of ‘their’ Mount Dandenong. The Dandenong Ranges is a special place. But not only for those who live here but also to those who visit and would like to stay overnight. What Shannon Bennett and Adam Garrison are trying to do at Burnham Beeches is to provide a world-class aesthetic and environmentally sensitive tourism facility for everyone to enjoy. For goodness sake, let them get on with their vision before Chinese investors buy the property and build the 120-unit retirement village with the property’s existing permit.

PAVEMENT artist Ulla Taylor recently chalked up another masterpiece, this time in Kilvington Drive, Emerald. Taylor has a rather unique way of bringing a little cheer to the community, via her chalk art. Many of her popular works are three-dimensional, so the artworks seem to lift off the pavement. Mail photographer Rob Carew captured just some of her good work in the region. 142491
Rules may be written already THE CFA, a world’s best practice volunteer fire service, has been developed over 70 years. Volunteers donate $1 billion worth of time annually. So, to review this very complex organisation and get comment from the 55,000 volunteers, how much consultation time is needed to ensure everybody has a say in the future? Six months, a year, three months? This city-centric government has given the CFA volunteers four weeks to examine the service. Then, four weeks for the review to be delivered. Such a short timeframe might indicate the new rules are already written and the ‘review’ is just window-dressing. The terms of reference blatantly lean towards generating an outcome that is favourable to paid staff and their union, and dismissive of volunteers. David O’Byrne, the reviewer was, until May this year, national secretary of a large trade union. Prior to this and being voted from office, he was a Labor politician in Tasmania. Is there a connection between the many paid fire-fighters who, dressed in look-alike fire uniforms, swamped the marginal polling booths at last election to support Labor, and this unseemly rush to judgement by Minister Garrett? Of course not - after all, favours paid and owed don’t exist in Victorian politics.

Bishop debacle a distraction ONE does wonder why the Australian public was subjected to the Bronwyn Bishop debacle. She did the wrong thing; Tony Abbott, as her leader, should have ‘manned up’ and sacked her. But, no, it seems she had his backing; and while this played out, serious things were happening. We have weekend penalty rates being seriously looked at; to cut Sunday pay (Workchoices by any other name); then Tony tootles off to South Australia to announce a $40 billion shipping contract for that state. Well, he has to shore up three of the Liberal seats that could be lost at the next federal election. Just imagine, Christopher Pyne could go. I let this last one go through to the keeper, very remiss of me. It is Jason Wood’s same-sex marriage survey. I ask; is this the only electorate asked to do this? Has he done this on his own initiative? It is very unlikely the Coalition Party members will even get a conscience vote; I just wish that we could get back into the 21st century, before (Tony Abbott). Not too much to hope for, is it?

Wood changes same-sex stance By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS Museum president David Eaton addresses the audience upon accepting the accreditation.
Running Rabbits earn their stripes THE Running Rabbits Military Museum, operated by the UpweyBelgrave RSL, has been granted accreditation by Museums Australia (Victoria). It is the first RSL museum to be accredited through the organisation’s accreditation program. A formal presentation of the certificate, signed by the Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley, was made at the 2015 Victorian Museum Awards at the National Gallery of Victoria. To become accredited, museums spend two to three years developing procedures, policies and practice to meet recognised museum standards. Located in Upwey, the museum has worked hard to meet set criteria from the National Standards for Museums and Galleries. Rosemary Hanscombe, comanager of the Museum Accreditation Program at Museums Australia (Victoria), said it was a fantastic achievement. “We are delighted to recognise the commitment and hard work
shown by the team at Running Rabbits Military Museum,” she said. “Caring for our shared heritage is an important task, and by becoming accredited Running Rabbits Military Museum has proven to be a leading museum in Victoria.” The museum opened on Anzac Day in 2009 and is run by volunteers. Running Rabbits is named in dedication to those who fought so valiantly on the Kokoda Track. The museum’s collection contains weaponry, documents and equipment from the Boer War through both world wars, and right up to the present day. There are more than 2500 items of memorabilia, photographs and artefacts on display and a library of books and magazines available to visitors. The museum is focused on education for people of all ages and provides a space for visitors to understand the local impact of war.
FEDERAL MP for La Trobe Jason Wood has officially changed his stance to support same-sex marriage after having over 5000 voters in the electorate participate in a poll on the issue. Results from the #LATROBEVOTES survey as of 12 August showed 57.9 per cent of the 5429 respondents counted to date support changing the Marriage Act (1961) to allow same-sex marriage in Australia. Mr Wood previously said he supported a conscience vote on this issue, though his personal position on changing the Marriage Act was listed as undecided. “I have not publicly revealed until now that I have now changed my position on same-sex marriage,” he said in a written statement. “In the past, I opposed same-sex marriage, however for a number of reasons I now support same-sex marriage.” During the Coalition’s marathon debate on same-sex marriage last week, Mr Wood was one of the 33 Coalition MPs who voted in favour of a conscience vote in the party room. “My firm view is that there should be a free vote,” Mr Wood told The Mail. “That is what I argued for in the party room. To me this precedent has been set numerous in times in the past.” “Even under the Howard Government when we faced the question of stem cell research, we were afforded a conscience vote on that matter.” Despite the option for a conscience vote being denied to the party room, Mr Wood believes having a plebiscite on the
Results of Day 18 of the #LATROBEVOTES marriage equality survey. 143127 issue is the next best outcome. “Currently if a conscience vote were taken in the parliament, same-sex marriage would not pass both houses. This was made clear to me during our recent joint Coalition party room meeting,” he said. “If this were to happen there would be less of an opportunity to have samesex marriage legalised through a plebiscite in the future.” Following the debate, Education Minister Christopher Pyne accused Prime Minister Tony Abbott of ‘branch stacking’ the party room with members of the National Party to skew the results of the decision on a conscience vote. Mr Wood said he would have preferred that the Liberal Party had its own meeting separate from their Coalition counterparts.
“I agree with Christopher Pyne in that the Nationals are a very conservative party, I think it’s important to remember that the Nationals had their very own meeting on this issue, therefore I feel the Liberal Party should have been able to do the same.” Mr Wood has said the results of his electorate-wide survey to gauge the mood of his constituents was a defining factor in him changing his official stance on same-sex marriage. “The #LATROBEVOTES survey really confirmed what I thought was the case,” he said. “I privately had already changed my view since the last election for a number of reasons - but I had to know that the majority of the electorate would support my change in view.” “I went to the last election opposed to same-sex marriage and it would have been unfair to the people of La Trobe to change my conscience vote without that confirmation.” Mr Wood presented the results of the survey so far to the joint party room debate in an effort to demonstrate that the people of his electorate supported change to the Marriage Act. “#LATROBEVOTES has other benefits in that by all reports, it is currently the largest survey of its kind Australiawide,” he said. “This meant that the results weighed in heavily when I spoke to the joint party room and I’ve got no doubt that the great response rate was a strong demonstration to the Prime Minister that individuals want to have their voice heard.”

There’s a new Chiropractor in Town!!! Hi, I am Dr Fiona Tadich and I am very excited to be opening the doors to a new Chiropractic Practice here in Mt Evelyn. This is part of the Yarra Valley Innate Chiropractic group. My goal as a Chiropractor is to be able to help my own community to reach a new level of health and wellbeing.
The final test run before the big event - pictured, from left, Simone McPeake, Gemma Tripp, Elena Frawley, Casey Seymour and Rebecca Dingjan.
I still live here in Mt. Evelyn with my family; my husband a local paramedic, and my two beautiful children. My oldest daughter Kayla who attends the same primary school I did as a child (Mt. Evelyn. P.S). My mother also has been teaching at Mount Evelyn primary school for the past 18 years and my son Cooper who also attends a local kinder.
Using noodles
“Nothing inspires me more than seeing the way people begin to enjoy life again once they realise how good they can feel with chiropractic care,”
THE creativity and engineering skills of Mater Christi College girls have delivered another successful entry in the annual Amazing Spaghetti Machine Contest. The Engineering Department at the University of Melbourne hosts the competition, with the team of nine students from Belgrave improving on last year’s equal first finish. The students collected the two main prizes for this year, Contest Champions and Audience Choice Award. Teams of Year 10 students from around Victoria competed
My passion for Chiropractic care began when I first witnessed the benefits it had and continues to have on my family. This was evident when I first began to take my own daughter to a chiropractor. I knew that I wanted to be able to I create the same impact in the lives of the people in my hometown. With a previous background in remedial massage, I already understood the wholistic nature of health and the body’s overall function. I then went back to University and studied a further 5 years of Chiropractic; this has taught me the real understanding of how intricately our body systems are connected and what it means to be able to achieve true health. “Optimal health is a state of optimal well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. “ (World Health Organisation definition) My dream is to be able to be part of a flourishing community where everyone knows how amazing we are designed to feel. What’s the secret? There is no secret…. Our bodies are amazing! They are designed to be able to self-heal and self-regulate. They are designed to detect what’s going on, in and around it and respond to that environment in the way it knows how.
in the construction of imaginative machines. Spaghetti machines complete a simple task via a series of complex and entertaining steps. This year’s challenge was to build a machine that serves breakfast. The Mater Christi girls built an ingenious machine activated by the energy of light to start a plane propeller. Then - through a combination of perfectly aligned and synchronised actions of dominoes, marbles, a toy car, train, mouse traps and gravity - cereal is poured into a bowl. College principal Mary Fitz-
Gerald praised the girls’ efforts. “The whole activity is a bit like the machine itself,” she said. “Many singular actions combined to make an exciting learning experience for all for our future problem solvers. “It is a brilliant exercise in teamwork and creativity.” The team of young engineers from Year 10 included: Jemma Eastwood, Simone McPeake, Ellie Patten, Gemma Tripp, Elissa Tifere, Casey Seymour, Rebecca Dingjan, Elena Frawley, Ashlee Church. Physics teacher, Dr Zara Dennis, supported the students.
Control Your Power. Control Your Life
So what goes wrong??? There is so much impact from our world; impact that our bodies are not designed to know how to deal with, that the messages all get confused and muddled, and therefore we stop responding correctly to these messages.
How does a Chiropractor help??? Chiropractors look at the function of our Nervous System.
Why??? Our nervous system is the master control system of our body. It controls every muscle, cell, tissue and organ. If our brain cannot tell our body what to do, and our body cannot tell our brain what has gone wrong, we cannot heal and function as we are designed to. This leads to poor health, wellbeing and often pain.
So who do you know that could benefit from having a healthy spine and nervous system???? As a special introductory offer, we are offering 50% off all initial consultations for the months of August and September.

One woman steals the stage Drowning in Veronica Lake THE Healesville Memorial Hall hosted a performance of the outstanding one-woman play, Drowning in Veronica Lake, on 8 August. Produced by Flaxworks and written by Phil Ormsby, the play stars Alex Ellis (an awardwinning actress and Ormsby’s partner) as Veronica Lake, an iconic actress in the Golden Age of Hollywood. The play is a wryly comical look back at Lake’s legacy, as she recounts

her life story to us in a kind of purgatory (with the black stage evoking a void or afterlife). The play addresses Lake’s wide influence, including her glamour, sex appeal and widely-reported meltdowns. But great care is taken in maintaining our sympathy for her, as Lake is depicted as a public figure who delights in fame but is unable to handle the pressure and side-effects. The minimal staging (with an enormous gown and a cou-
ple of booze bottles as the only props) allows Ellis’s riveting performance to shine with no obstructions. Ellis brings to life this exuberant, tragic figure, shifting emotions on a dime, and she often engages humorously with the audience. A very respectful satire, Drowning in Veronica Lake is Ormsby’s fifth play, and Ellis was nominated for Best Performer at the Auckland Fringe Festival in 2011 for this play. - Seth Hynes

THE Montrose Town Centre will this month play host to Russia’s leading violinist as part of the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s calendar of events this month. The renowned chamber ensemble will perform its highly acclaimed ‘The Best of British’ show, which will star international director and violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky.

Also featuring in the orchestra will be talented Victorian violinist Madeleine Jevon. ‘The Best of British’ tour draws on a rich body of British compositions from the Baroque period through to the 20th century, combining much-loved music by Handel, Purcell, Holst and Britten with the exquisite violin concerto by Sir Andrzej Panufnik, a highly respected 20th-century composer and conductor who escaped communist-controlled Poland in the 1950s to make the UK his home. Described as a man whose performances are ‘brilliantly fi-

MOUNT Evelyn RSL lost one of its founding members with the passing of Bill Phillips last month. Mr Phillips led a fulfilled and extraordinary life that saw him serve in two wars and raise five children. Formally of Lilydale, Mr Phillips and his mates from the Lilydale RSL decided in 1967 to start their own RSL sub-branch in Mount Evelyn. Mr Phillips was presented with a lifetime membership award from the RSL in September last year in honour of all his hard work and dedication to the organisation. Mount Evelyn RSL secretary Anthony McAleer said Mr Phillips was an integral part of the RSL community in Mount Evelyn. “For a long time Bill was a stalwart of the Mount Evelyn RSL,” he said. “He was one of the people that were a big help when the club built their clubrooms and he was a big help fund-raising and things like that.” “Bill was always a friendly face around the club,” Mr McAleer said. Mr Phillips’ son Mark Phillips has fond memories of his father involving the family in his commitments to the RSL. “Especially on Anzac Day; all the family came to support dad on Anzac Days,” Mark Phillips said. “He led the march and organised it when we were children, it was always a really proud day for us.” A local boy through and through, Bill Phillips was born in Lilydale in 1927, the oldest boy of 11 children and attended St Pats School in Lilydale. Mr Phillips was just 15 years old when he enlisted to join his father in the military. “Dad was 15 but looked older.” “He got the enlistment papers and got his younger brother to forge their mother’s signature because she refused to sign them,” Mark said. “It’s hard to imagine in this day and age a 15-year-old going off to war in the thick of things,” said Mr McAleer. Mr Phillips served in New Guinea where he contracted dysentery and dengue fever and it was in the hospital that his real age was found out and he was sent back home. He enlisted again in 1945 at 18 years and served in the Korean War in 1950 at 22 years old. Mr Phillips held various jobs though his life, becoming an engine driver and a security guard on different occasions. Always keen on sports, Mr Phillips won the
Bill in his military days. 143075 Picture: CONTRIBUTED Australian Army lightweight boxing champion in 1947 and kept up a regime of weight and boxing training until we reached his early eighties. “He suffered ill-health all his life as a result of his war days but I thought dad was indestructible as a kid,” Mark said. “I wouldn’t have known anyone tougher than Dad was.” Described by Mark as a joker and a larrikin, Mr Phillips was quite a character in his younger years and maintained this in his later life. “It became quite evident,” Mark said. “He was very well loved at Tullamore in Montrose where he spent the last eight years of his life.” Despite his ailing health in his later years, Mr Phillips always had time for his family and for the RSL. “He and mum had 52 good years together and raised five children,” Mark said. “Dad didn’t speak a great deal about the wars but spoke about his mates from the wars," Mark said. “In later years with his health he couldn’t come up to the RSL as much as he would like,” Mr McAleer said. “He still received visitors from the RSL though.” Bill Phillips passed away on 14 July, at Knox Hospital shortly after turning 88 years old. “We are all immensely proud of what he achieved and he was very well loved,” Mark said.

Mixed bag for juniors MONBULK had four sides playing week 2 of the finals and finished with two wins and two losses. The Under 13s team is through to the grand final, while the Under 11s and Under 16s are through to the preliminary final. Under 11s faced the top side Mount Evelyn in a first versus second battle. Mount Evelyn got the jump and kicked the first two goals in the first half. Monbulk were contesting well, while Mount Evelyn were a little cleaner in possession and spread the ball much better than Monbulk. Monbulk fought hard in the second half, outscoring Mount Evelyn and holding them goalless. A late goal to Charlie Barge saw the Hawks go down by nine points. They have another chance next week to make it to the grand final in the preliminary final against Upwey Tecoma. Under 13s faced off against Emerald and played their way into the grand final with a commanding performance to win by 40 points. Coach Dave Sands was thrilled with the even spread across the ground and the team has earned its right to
Under 14s stars Laura Gillard and Laura McClelland (front) will finish their junior careers after playing more than 100 games for Monbulk. play for the premiership in two weeks. Great games by Grimes, Spencer and Beecroft, while some clever goals from Dennison and Woolridge highlighted the win. Under 14s went into the game against Gembrook-Cockatoo with full confidence. An even first quarter before Gembrook dominated the second quarter with a match-winning 3 goals 1 to 2 points. Monbulk then had to fight hard to
get back in the second half. Desperate efforts from the Monbulk players failed to win the day and Gembrook held on to a deserved 9-point win. A great learning season for the boys and girls under the tutelage of Peter Green. This marks the end of the junior football careers of the two Lauras, Laura Gillard and Laura McClelland. The coaches and their team members wished them all the best.
Under 16s came into week 2 of the finals after a nail-biting win the previous week. A real dour struggle for both teams in the first half saw Monbulk lead by two points against Wesburn. Monbulk then put in a great second half to kick 3 goals to 1 to win by 18 points. Travis Wills continued his stellar ‘hard at ball’ form and led the team to victory. A solid backline working well together and an even spread across the ground saw the Hawks through to the preliminary final. After the game, coach Chris Hughson implored the boys to maintain the work ethic and believe in the game plan and structures and be optimistic saying, who knows what may happen over the next two weeks.

Olinda has last laugh By DENNIS FULLER OLINDA Golf Club pipped Emerald Golf Club in the annual challenge between the two clubs, domiciled at Emerald, last Saturday in fine but slightly soggy conditions. Each club chose 10 of its best to play match-play to see who had the last laugh for the year. The members were paired up ready for the challenge under the grey skies with both teams confident of victory. In the end, it evolved that Olinda got across the line with five-and-a-half wins to Emerald’s four-and-a-half. Tim Venten beat Ross Martin 3/1, Lou Hermann defeated Dean Shannon 4/3, Alistair Hopkins defeated John Carvill 6/5, John Ellerbock defeated Phil Crossley 2 up, Anthony Crane defeated Jeff Marsh 7/5, Gary Kennaugh drew with Ian Scott while for Emerald, Peter Glasscock defeated Phil Chrimes 7/5, Peter Clowes defeated Michael Wiltshire 1 up, Ken Sumsion defeated Jeff Smith 1 up and Dave Aitken defeated Thor Elenius 5/3. Thus, it is Olinda which has the right to display the ‘last laugh’ trophy for Emerald to see for the next year. All are looking forward to next year where some scores will be settled or consolidated.

Bulldogs rule roost By JUDY ORREN DIVISION 1 SENIORS Wandin 20.11 (131) d Monbulk 12.8 (80) WANDIN remains undefeated after another good performance, this time a 51-point win over Monbulk. The first quarter was quite tight with Wandin leading by just eight points at the first change. Wandin only put on four goals in the second term, but they held Monbulk to just one major to take a 25-point lead into the main break. The second half was of pretty high quality, and Monbulk did give their all but Wandin was just a touch more classy going forward, and they made it count on the scoreboard. Wandin added another 11 goals to their total while Monbulk was by no means disgraced as they added seven goals to their total, but it was Wandin’s class that shone through that ultimately got them their victory. Wandin best players: J. Myers, R. Wilson (1 goal), H. Dudink (1 goal) Monbulk best players: N. Rowlands, C. Griffiths, J. Major
Warburton Millgrove 18.12 (120) d Upwey Tecoma 9.10 (64) The first half was a beauty as it went goal for goal and there was only two points separating the sides at half time, with Warburton holding the narrow lead. The third term was where Warburton got right on top as their running game was too much for Upwey to contain. Warburton slammed on 6 goals to 1 and by the last change they held a 30-point lead. Warburton continued its hard running in the last term and finished off in great style, booting 6 goals to 2 to win by 56 points in one of their best performances of the season. Warburton Millgrove best players: S. Andueza, S. Muir (5 goals), B. Murphy (1 goal) Upwey Tecoma best players: D. Sloane (5 goals), T. Robinson (1 goal), K. Grenda
Healesville 8.10 (58) d Olinda Ferny Creek 7.9 (51) This was one hell of a strange game, but it was Healesville that was able to hold on to win in a close one. Healesville started the game in great fashion booting five goals while holding Olinda to just one behind in the first term. Olinda bounced back in the second, scoring four goals while holding Healesville to just three points, and at the main break it was Healesville by seven points. The third term didn’t see a goal scored in what was a battle of the backlines, both sides could only manage four points apiece which saw Healesville maintain their seven-point buffer. The last quarter did open up a little as goals were scored by both sides, but it was Healesville that was able to answer any challenge Olinda threw their way, with both sides booting three goals which meant it was Healesville that saluted come final siren. Healesville best players: L. Barclay, A. Davies, N. Aldridge (1 goal) Olinda Ferny Creek best players: S. Horner (1 goal), T. Millwood (1 goal), D. Noorda
Woori Yallock 18.16 (124) d Mount Evelyn 8.13 (61) Woori was too good from start to finish as they put in a very good four-quarter performance that Mount Evelyn just couldn’t match. Woori only led by 14 points at the first change, but they really got their game up and going in the second quarter as they booted six goals while holding Mount Evelyn to just four behinds to take a 48-point lead into half time. The third quarter was pretty even and Mount Evelyn did match it with their opponents as both sides booted four goals, but Mount Evelyn just couldn’t reduce the deficit to be of any real threat. The last quarter did see Woori control the play as they booted an inaccurate 4.8 to 2.1 to come away with a pretty healthy 63-point victory.
Belgrave’s lead had only increased to 35 points by the final change. Belgrave finished this game in great fashion as Yarra Glen looked to run out of legs. Belgrave hammered home nine last quarter goals to Yarra Glen’s two to blow the margin right out and come away with a quality win, thanks to a quality last quarter. Belgrave best players: B. Collins (8 goals), N. Fisher, J. Pearce (1 goal) Yarra Glen best players: L. Telford (1 goal), D. Hurley (2 goals), J. Baughan
DIVISION 2 SENIORS Powelltown 16.10 (106) d Alexandra 9.13 (67) Powelltown has had a decent win against Alexandra as they prepare themselves for an elimination final against Seville next week. Powelltown had a terrific first half as they booted a very accurate 11.2 to 3.7 to lead by 43 points at the long break. The third term saw Alexandra show some real grit as they forced their way back into the contest with a 4-goal-to-1 term to trail by 28 points at the final change to still have a sneaky chance. Powelltown did steady in the last and although they didn’t dominate play, they were able to control the tempo. They booted 4 goals to 2 to win well and should go into next week’s final with confidence. Powelltown best players: M. McLaughlin (4 goals), J. Moore, S. Carter (2 goals) Alexandra best players: J. Steyger (1 goal), W. Goonan (3 goals), B. Cooper (3 goals)
Emerald 15.16 (106) d Kinglake 7.4 (46) Emerald looks set for a good finals campaign as they finish the home and away season on top of the ladder after a dominant performance over Kinglake who now finish third on the ladder. The first quarter was a real arm wrestle with neither team able to mount any real attack, with both sides only managing one goal for the quarter. The second term did open up and goals started to come, with Emerald having the better of the play scoring 6 goals to 4 to take a 16-point lead into half-time. The third quarter was another tight one, but Emerald was able to stretch their lead marginally out to 21 points at the final change. Emerald was great in the last quarter as they didn’t give Kinglake a sniff. They held Kinglake scoreless while they booted 5.9 and really should have won by more than the eventual 60-point margin. Emerald will now have a week’s rest, courtesy of finishing on top while Kinglake will take on Thornton Eildon next week in their first final. Emerald best players: R. Simpson (1 goal), D. Volta, L. McKenna Kinglake best players: A. McLaren, T. Arnott, J. Poecher
Thornton Eildon 17.9 (111) d Gembrook Cockatoo 7.14 (56) Thornton Eildon got back to some of their better form with a good 55-point victory over Gembrook. Thornton was very clinical in the first half, booting 9.3 and, although Gembrook had two more scoring shots, they trailed by 23 points as they booted 4.10. The third term was an even enough affair, but it was Thornton that stretched their lead ever so slightly out to 31 points at the fi-

Thornton finished the day well, booting 5 goals to 1 and will now go into next week’s final against Kinglake with some pretty good confidence. As for Gembrook, they will now look forward to a pre-season and hopefully come back bigger and better next season and take the next step to finals.
Mount Evelyn best players: R. Gillie, B. Forbes (1 goal), L. Callaghan
Thornton Eildon best players: R. Chapman (2 goals), J. Herridge (1 goal), L. Davison (5 goals) Gembrook Cockatoo best players: B. Fenton, J. Raymond, S. Richardson (4 goals)

Yarra Junction 14.12 (96) d Yea 10.7 (67) Yarra Junction has finished their season with a decent 29-point victory over Yea. Yarra Junction started off really well as they jumped Yea, booting 7 goals to 2 to grab a 30-point lead at the first change. The second term saw Yea play a more one-on-one contested game and the game did even up, both sides booted 2 goals for the term and Junction’s lead was 31 points at the main break. The second half was a reasonably even battle. Yarra Junction did get out to a 48-point lead at three-quarter time but Yea did show some good spirit in the last, booting 5 goals to 2 to reduce the margin. However, Yarra Junction was certainly the better side on the day and deserved what was a good victory. Yea best players: R. Aldous, D. Evans (3 goals), M. McCulloch
