Life in the hot seat THE Mount Evelyn CFA recently gave a demonstration on how they deal with LPG fires. In such incidents, firefighters approach with their hoses on, with the water acting as a shield so they can approach the gas bottles and turn them off. The result was a spectacular show for the enthusiastic audience, many of whom had turned out for Mount Evelynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent Community Bonfire night.

NOVEMBER 1-8, 2015

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead. Fire Action Week is your opportunity to better understand the fire risk in your area, so talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and get prepared. Last summer we saw fire conditions ease slightly in some areas of the state. While this was a welcome reprieve for many Victorians, the challenge now is to put fire planning back on the agenda. This is particularly important given summer forecasts indicate

above normal fire potential in many parts of the state. You don’t have to live in the country to be at risk. Fires can occur where suburbs meet the bush, or in urban areas where houses have grassland, bushland, or parkland around them. This week is your opportunity to revisit your fire planning with the following actions: • Know where to check Fire Danger Ratings daily over summer • Have your emergency kit ready to go, and make sure you have a plan for pets or livestock

• Stay informed about warnings and updates • Know where you will go, what route to take, and have a back up if there’s already a fire in the area. If you have recently moved into a high-risk area, make sure you understand how to prepare yourself and your property. Talk to your local community and CFA brigade to make sure you are equipped with the information you need. Remember, it is up to you to understand your risk and keep informed. Leaving a high-risk bushfire area early remains the safest option.

For more information on how to get prepared for summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au, or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line (VBIL) on 1800 240 667. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, contact the VBIL via the National Relay Service on 1800 555 677.

THE HON DANIEL ANDREWS MP Premier of Victoria

Your opportunity to prepare for fire FIRE Action Week, 1-8 November, is Victoria’s annual fire planning and preparation week. Emergency Management Commissioner, Craig Lapsley, said the week was a great chance for Victorians to understand the risk where they live and put plans in place to stay safe during the summer months. “Right now, forecasts show that there is potential for a long, hot, dry summer in Victoria,” Mr Lapsley said. “Fire Action Week is a great time to increase your understanding of the fire risk where you live, prepare your property, and talk to your family and friends about what you’ll do if a fire starts.” Mr Lapsley said that making informed decisions about what to do before a fire started was vital to stay safe during the summer. “Now is the best time to understand your fire risk and get prepared,

not when a fire starts,” Mr Lapsley said. “This week, talk to your family, friends and to your neighbours about the fire risk where you live and make plans for what you’ll do on hot, dry, windy days. “Make sure you know where to check Fire Danger Ratings. “Over summer, you’ll need to check the ratings daily to understand your fire risk. “If the Fire Danger Rating is Severe, Extreme or Code Red, you’re risking your life if you don’t take action.” In the lead-up to summer, CFA brigades around the state are getting out and about in their community to talk about preparing for fire. You can check cfa. vic.gov.au/events for information on what’s happening in your local area. For more information on how to get prepared for summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au.

SPRING RAINS ARE COMING ORDER YOUR TANK NOW

Prepare now for summer storms WITH hot weather already here, electricity distributor AusNet Services is urging property owners to clear vegetation from private powerlines to reduce the likelihood of summer storms causing power outages. AusNet Services’ Regional Customer and Community Manager, Leesa Penaluna, said that despite the company’s large vegetation management program, keeping powerlines clear was a responsibility shared between electricity businesses and community members. Residents need to keep vegetation on their property clear of their service cable or private electric lines. “We spend more than $40 million on our annual vegetation management program inspecting and then clearing about 135,000 trees from 50,000 kilometres of powerlines throughout our network to ensure safe and reliable supply of electricity to customers,” Mrs Penaluna said. “Importantly, property owners also have a responsibility to keep vegetation clear from their service cable or private electric lines supplying their property. “Summer storms bring strong winds and heavy rains, so now is a good time to clear vegetation and reduce the potential for property damage and power outages. “Under no circumstances should property owners attempt to climb a power pole or prune vegetation near a powerline.

“Please contact a suitably trained and experienced contractor to carry out the clearing work.” To help you manage summer storms and possible power outages, AusNet Services suggests you: Have emergency contact details easily available; Have a fully charged torch with fresh batteries and a battery-operated radio; Ensure mobile phones are fully charged; If your garbage door is electric, ensure you know how to open it manually; Have a back-up pump if you rely on mains electricity for your water supply; Time permitting, turn your fridge and freezer to a cooler setting to maintain food freshness. During or after a storm, property owners are encouraged to report threatening trees or damaged powerlines to AusNet Services’ 24-hour faults hotline on 13 17 99. “When property owners provide accurate and timely information, we are able to pinpoint threatening tree locations and damaged powerlines and send crews directly to those locations,” she added. AusNet Services advise people to keep well away of fallen powerlines at all times and report it immediately to the 24-hour faults hotline. Further information is also available on AusNet Services’ website at www.ausnetservices.com.au.

Video fire fight By KATH GANNAWAY A NEW fire awareness video produced by Warburton Emergency Planning Group is just one initiative that aims to ensure that Warburton residents are well prepared for the coming fire season. WEPG spokesperson Kevin Bargar, said the film was one of a number of initiatives the group had been working on over the past year and was available on the group’s websitewww.warburtonemergency.org.au. The film, Warburton Bushfire Preparedness and Awareness, is produced locally by the group in collaboration with film-maker, Peter Downey. It aims to present information that addresses the unique local bushfire situation for Warburton residents, highlights the need for people to be prepared and enforces the CFA message ‘Leave and

Live’. A meeting hosted by the group at Warburton CFA on Thursday last week brought together representatives of all the players involved in bushfire and emergency services ahead of this bushfire season with the aim of planning for community responses to emergency scenarios and providing the very best information and strategies for the Warburton communities. Mr Bargar said the meeting was attended by representatives across the board including Victoria Police, Parks Victoria, DELWP, CFA, Yarra Ranges Council, SES, Warburton Valley CEDA (tourism and economic development group) along with WEPG members. “This meeting was a continuation of previous discussions aimed at trying to provide people with technical information about what to expect and what to do in the case of a bushfire,” he said.

“It addressed aspects unique and germane to Warburton that people need to think about.” Some of the issues the group is working on include the need for a repeater tower on Mount Victoria to ensure access to the ABC warnings and updates and the provision of a fire rating sign for Warburton. Two meetings have been scheduled, the first a Fire Danger Period Information Night on Wednesday, 25 November at the Warburton fire station. The second, on Saturday, 5 December will be a Bushfire Planning Session at the East Warburton Fire Refuge. Details of both these meetings and a future Bushfire Scenario Meeting proposed for January will be available on the Warburton CFA facebook page.

Protection options for peak You gotta know where to go summer season fire safety By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

MANY residents in rural areas are recognising that in a bushfire situation, help from a rural fire brigade or even from neighbours is no guarantee. So, protecting a property is increasingly a matter of looking after the protection of your own assets. Most firefighting authorities like the CFA recommend the preparation of a personal fire plan including the appropriate materials, especially if there is a decision to stay with the property. Many property owners will have a water source available in the form of a swimming pool, rainwater tanks, water courses, dams or similar reserves. In this instance, a Blaze Control Pump Kit - utilising a Davey Firefighter engine powered pump with an inlet and outlet hose kit - represents a relatively inexpensive investment. This set-up will usually afford the means to extinguish embers, spot fires or even burning vegetation, particularly after a fire-front has passed. The next step up in protection is to install a permanent, custom-designed reticulated sprinkler system which will provide a spray of water that is able to cover and protect all vulnerable points of a building.

The system usually affords the means to extinguish embers, spot fires or even burning vegetation. This includes walls, windows, decks, roof, skylights, under floor areas, gas bottles and even the rainwater tanks (because these are likely to be constructed of plastic and are at risk of damage or loss of their contents). Lilydale based company Blaze Control Sprinkler Bushfire Systems has installed building protection systems throughout Australia, includ-

ing homes and public buildings like schools, halls and community centres, and even a winery building. Blaze Control draws on the 40-plus years of bushfire experience of its founder Bill Hayes, who is both a licensed plumber and a CFA volunteer.

KNOWING where your nearest community safe place is could save your life during a catastrophic bushfire event. A community safer place is a designated open area away from vegetation and tested for radiant heat levels that members of a community can utilise to escape a bushfire as a last resort measure. It is always the best practise to have a fire plan in place, leave early and distance yourself and your family from the danger of a bushfire. If a fire plan does unfortunately fail, heading to your nearest community safer place could be the only way to save lives. While these places should only be used as a last resort in retreating from the fire front, being aware of where you can go if you have no other options is crucial to a well-rounded fire emergency plan. Below is a complete list of the community safer places in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges so members of the community can familiarise themselves with their closest one.

Keep your property clear

Thinking first SOME of the most problematic bushfires this season will be caused by ordinary people going about their business, according to detectives from the Victoria Police Arson and Explosives squad. Activities such as anglegrinding, operating farming machinery, disposing of cigarette butts, and leaving campfires unattended have the potential to become out of control fires that destroy lives and communities. Detective Inspector Michael Roberts said many people didn’t realise that during high fire danger periods these activities could easily spark a fire. “These activities can be considered criminal offences which we take very seriously and carry severe penalties,” Det Insp Roberts said. “The reality is that a fire, whether recklessly or accidentally lit, has the very real potential to damage property, to injure and to kill. “This season, we’re asking people to be mindful of the consequences of their actions. “For example, re-think the need to operate machinery on a high fire danger day, dispose of cigarettes appropriately and in a safe manner, and extinguish your campfire properly if leaving the campsite. “Know the restrictions and be accountable to them. “You don’t want your ac-

By PETER DOUGLAS THE CFA may need to access your property at any time, any day. You never know when you may need them, or they may need you. So it’s important to consider the ease with which tankers and firefighting crews can navigate around your house, particularly if you have a large property, in the event of an emergency. This point was never clearer than after a recent incident in Wesburn, where CFA crews found access particularly difficult and could have easily resulted in a tragedy. Twelve CFA firetrucks attended a Wesburn house in the early hours of Thursday, 15 October; and on arrival, firefighters found the house fully alight and a man trapped inside. The man was eventually taken via ambulance to Maroondah Hospital with minor burns, while the house, a shed and four cars were destroyed in the fire. Though a terrible incident, it could’ve been much worse, with CFA firefighters battling poor access and heavy fuelloads around the property, including numerous gas bottles which were exploding. Brian Halit from MilgroveWesburn CFA was on the scene and said residents simply must ensure clear access. “The man had accumulated lots of possessions that were stored on the property, causing access to the fire to be difficult

Activities such as angle-grinding or improperly disposing of cigarette butts could destroy lives. tions resulting in homes destroyed or lives lost.” Last year, police charged 39 people for deliberately lighting a bushfire, a number that has been increasing over the past three years. Seven people were also charged for recklessly causing a bushfire. “It’s a combination of better police investigation and a zero tolerance approach,” Det Insp Roberts said. “The charge for recklessly or intentionally causing a bushfire is up to 15 years’ imprisonment, while lighting a fire on a total fire ban day carries a penalty of $35,000 and up to two years’ jail.” Police have reactivated Op-

eration Firesetter, a detection and prevention operation focused on high-risk bushfire arson locations and times. “We’ll be monitoring persons of interest with the aim to reduce the occurrence and impact of suspicious activity during the high-risk period,” Detective Inspector Roberts said. “But we’re asking the community for help. “People who commit bushfire arson are not always strangers, they often live and work in local communities. “If you see smoke or fire, call triple zero (000). “If you see something suspicious or know something, report it to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

Fortunately, in this case, the firefighters stood up to the challenge. District 13 Operations Officer, Dom Tomkins, praised their efforts in difficult circumstances. “Firefighters did a great job rescuing the man inside, considering the challenges with the fire fight,” he said.

Ready for hot time By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Glen CFA Captain, Bill Boyd, is asking residents to get ready for a hot and dry fire season, as fire brigades prepare for potential Code Red days. Capt Boyd, speaking with the Mail last month, said that crews were preparing for “a hot one”, following hot weather early in October and a taste of the coming season with the runaway Lancefield fire. “I was over in Lancefield last week, and certainly the bush is drying out,” he said. “We’re all feeling that it’s going to be an early season and a long season - El Nino is coming down and we’ve been warned it’s going to be a hot one.” To mark that early start, Capt Boyd said crews were in pre-season preparation, honing their skills and practicing, to ensure they were ready when the worst of the season hit. The worst may be on the cards, he said, with talk of potential Code Red days coming up when the summer heat peaks. According to the CFA, a Fire Danger Rating (FDR) of Code Red indicates the worst conditions for bush and grass fires. “Homes are not designed or constructed to withstand fires in these conditions,” the CFA’s website reads. “The safest place to be is away from high risk bushfire areas.”

Are you ready for this bushfire season? Pump it MUCH evidence about bushfire preparedness indicates the importance of having an enginepowered pump for both asset protection as well as post-fire front management of burning fences or remnant vegetation, as well as other structures including buildings. Davey Water Products manufactures their world-famous Firefighter pump ends in Melbourne and fit them to quality petrol engines from Honda and Briggs and Stratton, or diesel engines from Yanmar. While having made a relatively modest investment in a Davey Firefighter pump set, it is important that property owners engage in some simple and regular management and maintenance practices. Among these, Davey Water Products Market Development Manager, Ashley White, said users must: Know the machine; Practice your fire plan; and Ensure the fuel isn’t stale.

· · · Yarra Glen CFA Captain, Bill Boyd. 145867 The CFA website recommends that residents leave the night before or early on the day of a Code Red rating, and to avoid forested or heavily-grassed areas. Code Red days are advertised four days in advance, and the CFA website said residents should know their triggers to leave, and make decisions about when to leave, where to go, how to get there, when to return and what to do if they cannot leave.

Capt Boyd said the Yarra Ranges was in a similar state leading up to this year’s season as it was last year, but that growth and drying out could pose a higher risk. “Now’s the time for people to get property works happening,” he said. “Service your water pumps make sure they work. “Get your fire plan in order, get all your secure documents somewhere - get a grab-bag made up,

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM so you can get it and grab it when you’ve got to.” He said residents should also ensure that driveways are accessible for fire trucks, which are three metres wide, three metres tall and eight metres long, and that water sources, such as dams or water tanks, are accessible for fire-fighters.

A trusted name in safety WILDFIRE Safety Bunkers Pty Ltd are committed to supplying and installing superior quality, fully engineered, government accredited, purpose-built bushfire bunkers. Wildfire bunkers are rated to the highest current Australian Standard (BAL-FZ), Bushfire Attack Level Flame Zone. Each year in Australia, the weather seems to become more unpredictable with higher than average winds and extreme temperatures. Forecasts from the Climate Institute of Australia and the CSIRO predict that Australia will experience an increasing occurrence of wildfire events that threaten life and property.

The fire season will start earlier and last longer and will be more intense throughout the season’s length. Residents who live in isolated areas and areas of surrounding bushland are at high risk during the bushfire season and may wish to consider the installation of a bushfire shelter. When situations change and the time to execute your evacuation plan has been cut short, a Wildfire Safety Bunker could be a resident’s last option. Anthony Tratt, owner and Managing Director of Wildfire Safety Bunkers, said it could be a smart option. “We have been in the bushfire

shelter business for many years now and our products have been welcomed by residents Australia wide,” he said. “I believe the reasons our units have become so popular is that they have been extensively tested and accredited by the government, they can be installed in a short amount of time, they can be landscaped into existing garden beds and embankments, and they are at an affordable price point.” Wildfire has installed units in most areas the Mail newspapers are delivered. So, for a free no-obligation quotation, call Wildfire today on 1800 559 859.

A safety bunker could be a resident’s last option.

Bunkers a considered investment By PETER DOUGLAS THOSE considering investing in a personal fire bunker need to ask themselves the right questions and do their own homework, according to CSIRO scientist Justin Leonard. Leonard addressed an attentive crowd of more than 100 at a community information session, hosted by the Olinda CFA at the Olinda Hall on Wednesday, 21 October. The scientist has devoted countless hours to researching not only the safety and efficacy of fire bunkers, but also gathering statistics from the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires. Olinda Brigade Community Safety Co-ordinator, Elissa Jans, who helped to co-ordinate the event, said the safety-conscious audience responded positively. “Justin’s address covered many topical issues surrounding bunkers,” she said. “These included where to build them, when to enter them and who should consider investing in one. “People need to consider the psychology behind it, the confined spaces, whether they could cope. “There are many questions you need to ask yourself, as well as a need to conduct your own research.” Ms Jans said one of the key messages of the night was that bunkers should not be included in your fire plan, but simply another tool that homeowners could consider. Bunkers are not recommended as a replacement for traditional bushfire preparation. Leonard also helped to clear up

CSIRO scientist Justin Leonard addresses the crowd during his talk on personal fire bunkers. issues around rules, which can get confusing due to many variations in federal, state and local government regulations. Some of the questions the information session sought to address included how long would the air last, what really happened inside and when should occupants come out? Ms Jans said it wasn’t merely a case of plonking a bunker on your property. “It’s important they are not located anywhere near vegetation, or near trees that may burn and branches may fall and block entry,” she said. “Ventilation and the potential for

psychological impact should be a strong consideration.” Ms Jans said it was also important there were no combustible items near bunkers, such as chemicals or vehicles. But she said the main message of the night was to stay informed and do your own research. For more information, visit www. cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/privatebushfire-shelters-or-bunkers/ Tips on personal fire bunkers: The 2009 Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission recognised that a well-designed and constructed bunker might provide a temporary place of refuge during the passage

of the fire-front; however, extreme caution should be taken in the use of bushfire bunkers as part of a household’s fire plan. If you are considering a private bushfire bunker, ensure you deal only with suppliers or manufacturers whose products have been rigorously tested and meet the building regulations and safety standards outlined below. Leaving entry into the bunker until the last possible minute will unnecessarily put your life at risk. (Fire bunkers) must satisfy performance standards and building permit conditions.

Take the safety summer pledge CFA is encouraging all Victorians to take the Fire Safety Pledge this summer. More than 3000 pledges have been made at TheFireSafetyPledge.com.au since the competition opened on Thursday, 8 October. By completing the online declaration, Victorians not only make a commitment to their own fire safety, but can also support their nominated CFA brigades. To take the pledge, members of the public simply select the fire safety actions they plan to take to better prepare for the threat of fire this summer. General actions people can opt to take range from checking the local Fire Danger Rating each day, searching for information and warnings about fires on hot days, or talking with friends and family about fire risks. People are also required to make a pledge about actions they plan to take around the home, such as testing smoke alarms monthly and changing smoke alarms batteries each year. CFA is also asking participants to select a local brigade they wish to support, placing that brigade in a pool to win one of three $1000 cash prizes. The money will be used by CFA volunteers and staff to purchase additional equipment to help protect lives and property. Winning brigades will be chosen from three categories: the brigade with the highest total number of pledges, the brigade with the highest number of pledges per capita, and the brigade with the highest number of pledges in a town with a population of less than 100 people. Members of the public could also win one of five $200 Bunnings vouchers as an added incentive to join the cause. CFA hopes the Pledge will increase awareness of the risk of fire. Entries close Thursday, 3 December. For more information, and to view progress on the Brigade Leader Board, visit thefiresafetypledge.com.au.

Jean’s a winner By KATH GANNAWAY DON Valley conservationist, Jean Thomas, is among winners of the 2015 Telstra Business Women Awards. Some 13 years ago Jean left her comfortable lifestyle in the Yarra Valley and embarked on the challenge of a lifetime to protect an unknown tree kangaroo in Papua New Guinea. On 20 October, at Crown Casino in Melbourne, she received the Purpose and Social Enterprise Award for her work with the Tenkile Conservation Alliance (TCA), a non-government organisation that has worked in Papua New Guinea since 2001. Under the direction of Jean and husband Jim Thomas as Australian directors, the TCA has implemented projects aimed at ensuring the preservation of the Tenkile Tree Kangaroo, including research, conservation, water and sanitation projects and sustainable livelihood projects. Fifty villages and around 12,000 people have benefited from the projects. They arrived in the Torricelli Mountain Ranges, Jim as project manager and Jean as education officer, at a time when the Tenkile numbers were down to 100 and a hunting moratorium in tatters. Jean said when a massive increase in tourism to the area, in expectation of the moratorium, didn’t eventuate, the hunting resumed. Their approach was to drop all those expectations and offer choice - “If you keep hunting, you won’t have the Tenkile.” “We didn’t want to make it wrong after thousands of years of tradition, but the reality was that in five years there would be none left.” Using her background in education, she created and implemented multiple education programs, all delivered in the local ‘tok pisin’ (Pidgin English) language. This empowered local village elders and led to the mobilisation of important changes, including the construction of toilets in each village. Installation of 350 water tanks saw women and girls as the major benefactors. Before the tanks they spent hours each day walking long distances and carting water back to the villages. Jean said these two actions, as part of an integrated approach, have had a major impact on the health of the local people.

Jean Thomas accepts her Telstra Business Women Award. 146289 Ultimately, the Tenkile and four other species endemic to the Torricelli Mountain Ranges have also reaped the benefits. While Jean’s single motto has been ‘never give up’, she paid credit to the local people. “I have learnt much from the local people, their culture and customs, a new language and in the process gained extraordinary insights that have allowed our various projects to grow and develop,” she said. Jean said while she did not consider herself as a businesswoman, the award was an acknowledgement of women who worked in the not for profit sector.

“I do not have an MBA, legal, financial or marketing team to help me do this work. I’ve had to learn everything myself and simply use my commonsense,” she said in her acceptance speech. She told the Mail she believed the awards were valuable recognition for women. “There is still an attitude that as a woman you can’t handle that kind of pressure, or maybe you’re not psychologically fit enough to do that sort of thing,” she said. “I have shown women can be brave and bold and put yourself at risk to do that sort of work.” Jean also paid tribute to the strong women mentors in her life, starting with her grandmother,

Joyce Groat, who died just recently. “She was probably the first person who helped build my conservation values by the way she lived her life,” she said. She said TCA board member Patricia Caswell had been a great support and mentor, along with her mother, businesswoman, Susan McDermott and stepmother, former Mountain Views Mail and Upper Yarra Mail editor, Veronica Groat. Jean is now eagerly awaiting the release of a documentary about the Tenkile project. Featuring one of her heroes, Sir David Attenborough, ‘Into the Jungle’ (www.intothejungle. org) is set for worldwide release next year.

School campaigns for new signs By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS STATE MP Cindy McLeish paid a visit to Woori Yallock Primary School to help them have electronic 40km/h signs installed out the front of the school. The school has been campaigning to have the flashing signs installed along the Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road for many years. The state-wide guideline for a school speed zone to have electronic signs installed is 20,000 vehicles a day need to use the road. At the time of last testing by VicRoads moment, approximately 2500 vehicles are using this section of Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road per day. VicRoads have stated the road is not busy enough to warrant the installation of the electronic signs and instead installed larger static speed signs as a compromise. “The new signs were installed in mid-sepetmber but have made no observable change in behaviour from divers who continue to speed through the 40 zone,” School Council President Kate Russell said. Cindy McLeish picked up petitions and mail outs from the school with 200+ signatures from people in the community asking for the flashing signs on 16 October and has taken them to parliament for consideration.

‘A great breach of trust’ By KATH GANNAWAY

Kate Russell and Cindy McLeish are hoping the petition and mail-outs prove ti parliament 146265 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS the community want these signs

A 72-YEAR-OLD Healesville man was jailed earlier this week for sexual offences going back more than 40 years. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Judge Richard Maidment in the County Court on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 October. He was appealing a 20-month sentence imposed in May this year in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in relation to five charges of indecent assault to which he had pleaded guilty, and one that he had pleaded not guilty to, but on which he was also convicted. The court heard the maximum penalty available to the court was five-years imprisonment. Defence lawyer Julie Condon had also argued strongly for a community corrections order, citing the age and ill-health of the offender, along with his remorse and prospects for rehabilitation, as relevant considerations. “Prison is going to be more of a burden at his age,” she said. Handing down his sentence, Judge Maidment said the court was duty bound to impose a cus-

todial sentence and that nothing other than an immediate term of imprisonment was required for crimes of such a serious nature. “These were a great breach of trust,” he said. “The effect of such conduct on the victims in these circumstances is profound, as evidenced by the victim impact statements. “These are offences which, although they took place a long time ago, continue to have an effect and almost certainly will continue to have an effect (on the victims) for the rest of their lives.” Judge Maidment said the court was duty bound, even in cases of such vintage, to impose a sentence that not only denounced and punished the offender and the conduct, but that had a broader deterrent effect. He said he regarded a Community Corrections Order as being inadequate to meet sentencing requirements in view of the serious nature of the offences. He imposed a sentence of 17 months imprisonment with a non-parole period of 10 months and ordered that the offender be placed on the sex offenders register as a serious sex offender.

In brief Mt Donna Buang hoon caught

The War Memorial at Wandin Yallock has stood on clear land for more than Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS 90 years 146163

Council urged to back land purchase By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS MEMBERS of Community Organisations around Wandin are concerned about the future of a plot of land around a war memorial traditionally used to host memorial services. The Wandin and District Historical Museum Society, the Rotary Club of Wandin, the Wandin Country Women’s Association (CWA) and Mount Evelyn RSL are worried by the upcoming sale of the two acres of land. According to the Mount Evelyn RSL, the plot of land has been used for RSL memorial services and parking for the CWA for nearly ninety years, despite being privately owned. A member of the Wandin CWA said there has been a long-standing agreement with the current land owners that the CWA and RSL can utilise the plot. The Rotary Club of Wandin organise Anzac Day services each year at the memorial which have grown in popularity. Anthony McAleer of the Mount Evelyn RSL said there are concerns the land will be used for development leaving no room for parking or memorial services.

Beware of phone scammers A MILLGROVE man will face court next year after being arrested for numerous deception charges, linked to an interstate phone scam. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation

Police blitz over long week-end POLICE will be taking to the valley over Melbourne Cup Day to enforce road rules as part of Operation Furlong, with officers encouraging drivers to take it easy over the long weekend.

Warburton Police Sergeant, Tom Wilkinson, said that police would be out on the roads on Tuesday, 3 November for the end of Operation Furlong, which runs over the Cup Day long weekend. The aim of the operation, Sgt Wilkinson said, is to raise awareness of road safety, and target those who are doing the wrong thing. Sgt Wilkinson said police would be running breath-tests as part of the operation. “We’re out and about - we become more prominent during the public holidays because there’s more people traffic and we’re trying to get people from and to home safely,” he said. “We thank those persons who are obviously conscientious but we are trying to weed out those who are not supportive of road safety.”

Car impounded in Hoddles Creek A ST ALBANS man has some explaining to do after having his girlfriend’s mother’s car impounded in Hoddles Creek. Yarra Glen Police Sergeant Richard Coulson told the Mail that at about 11pm on Friday, 16 October, a 20-year-old St Albans man was intercepted by police in Hoddles Creek. The man was found to be driving while suspended, after having his licence suspended in court on Monday, 12 October. The man’s car was impounded for 30 days, and Sgt Coulson said the driver could expect to pay $1281 to retrieve the car. To add insult to injury, Sgt Coulson said the car that was impounded belonged to the driver’s girlfriend’s mother. Sgt Coulson said the man is expected to be charged on summons for driving while suspended.

“When we have a memorial services at Wandin it draws such large crowds and crowds keep getting larger,” he said. “We need to use the land around the memorial to cater for it.” “It’s just a paddock that the owners have allowed us to put chairs on so people can be involved and have safe access to the site.” Members from these groups have asked Yarra Ranges Shire Council to purchase the land to allow continued community use. Director Environment and Engineering for the council Mark Varmalis said the black of land is not considered appropriate for council purchase. “Council uses its Recreation and Open Space Strategy to guide its decisions around the purchase of land and to determine where public open space is required,” Mr Varmalis said. “The strategy does not identify this area for the purchase of land for either open space or car parking.” Members of the CWA are planning to petition the council to reconsider this decision not to purchase or acquire the land.

A KILSYTH man has lost his car for 30 days after being caught doing burnouts up Mt Donna Buang over the weekend. Warburton Police Sergeant Tom Wilkinson said police caught the 20-year-old Kilsyth man driving a “newer model” Holden Commodore near the 10 Mile Carpark on Mt Donna Buang at about 10.30pm on Sunday, 1 November. Sgt Wilkinson said the man’s car was impounded for 30 days under the hoon legislation and that the man would front Ringwood Magistrates’ Court next year to face charges of improper use of motor car, among others. He said that dangerous driving on Donna Buang Road was a “regular issue” for police, with a driver coming off of the road recently. Sgt Wilkinson said police would be increasing their patrols up the mountain to catch those like the Kilsyth man in the act. “We’re always doing it when we can,” he said. “It’s obviously not an issue of raising revenue - it’s an issue of saving lives.” He said burnouts and dangerous driving weren’t just damaging to the car, but that drivers could also be in danger if they left the road and hit a tree. “There are many scenarios,” Sgt Wilkinson said. “It’s not unusual for cars to catch fire, either.”

Unit (CIU) Detective Senior Constable Rod Newbery said police executed a search warrant at a Millgrove property on 13 October and arrested a 43-year-old Millgrove man. Det Sen Const Newbery said police believe the man was part of a syndicate who called elderly people pretending to be from Centrelink and asking for bank details. “They set up fake internet banking accounts and basically siphoned money out of the account until the old person becomes aware of it,” he said. He said the syndicate was operating interstate, and that the man was charged with “many” counts of deception and bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court next year - with further charges to come. Det Sen Const Newbery said that anyone who believes they may have been contacted by the syndicate, or who may have given out their bank details over the phone, should contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2300. He warned elderly residents to be wary of people calling and asking for bank details, and said not to give out details over the phone and to contact Centrelink if suspicious about a caller. “It may be pretty legitimate,” Det Sen Const Newbery said. “If you think they are suss, call Centrelink back and ask if they’ve asked to contact you. “It’s the same as any sort of scam - if they’re asking for banking details, it’s probably something wrong.”

New year NBN works are set for Yarra Valley By JESSE GRAHAM TIMELINES have been set for the Yarra Valley to receive NBN coverage, with construction set to commence in major towns next year. On Friday, 23 October, Casey MP Tony Smith announced estimated construction times for the National Broadband Network (NBN) across the Yarra Valley. Areas such as East Warburton, Warburton, Millgrove, Wesburn and Yarra Junction will have NBN construction begin as of January, 2016. Other towns along the Warburton Highway, such as Launching Place, Woori Yallock and Seville East, will have construction begin in the third quarter (July-September) of next year, while works will begin in Seville and Wandin North in the second half of 2016. Works in Healesville, Chum Creek and Badger Creek will begin in the second quarter (April-June) next year, while Yarra Glenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction will start in July-September. Coldstream and Lilydale will have their NBN works begin in the second half of the year. All of the aforementioned

towns will have Fibre-to-theNode (FTTN) technology, where fibre-optic cables will be installed to nodes, with copper wiring then carrying signals to homes. Don Valley East, Gruyere South, Hoddles Creek South, Seville East, Steels Creek East and Woori Yallock South, meanwhile, will have fixed wireless services, with FTTN in the surrounding areas, with construction to begin from January-March 2017. Earlier this month, the Mail spoke to Wildeye ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rocco Smit about the FTTN technology, which he said wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drastically improve internet speeds, due to relying on copper wiring to homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To take fibre to the node is like putting a Formula One engine in a passenger vehicle yes you can do it but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sensible and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go much further,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Removing politics from the whole scenario, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using copper-based technology, it will reach its capacity.â&#x20AC;? Mr Smith said NBN Co would make â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantial useâ&#x20AC;? of FTTN technology, but added that the company is also required to build the network

New housing estates, where copper wiring does not exist, may receive Fibre-to-thePremises (FTTP), where fibreoptic cables carry high speeds directly to a home, rather than to the node. He said the NBN Corporate Plan listed a full-FTTP NBN as not being completed until 20262028, and would cost â&#x20AC;&#x153;between $20 to $30 billion moreâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents of Casey shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait over a decade for fast broadband and under our approach they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Smith said FTTN trials in New South Wales showed download speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) - about 12 megabytes per second - and upload speeds of 30Mbps about four megabytes per second - at distances of more than 500 metres from a node.

New plaques of honour

Healesville Walk welcomes.....

By KATH GANNAWAY SEVEN World War I veterans have been commemorated with the unveiling of plaques at Upper Yarra Cemetery on Sunday 25 October. The soldiers, residents of the Upper Yarra, survived the war but it was discovered earlier this year, lay in unmarked graves. In a simple and moving ceremony, each of the stories of George H. Acton, Albert C. Bell, Sidney Connell, William E. Howard (Smith), James B. Maginn, Colin Sutherland and his son Colin Arthur Sutherland were read. The plaques were funded by Upper Yarra RSL. Family members of three of the soldiers placed a sprig of rosemary on each plaque. Powelltown resident Nola Adams said although she didn’t know her grandfather, Albert Bell, the family remembered him through stories told over the years. “It meant a lot to the family, and will be there for future generations,” she said. “Without the RSL, it would not have been done.” Cemetery Trust chairman Debbie De Laps said the decision to formally recognise the seven soldiers came as a result of the ‘Saluting WWI Serviceman Tour’ in the lead-up to An-

The event recognised 26 WWI servicemen interred or memorialised at the cemetery. Ms De Laps said the Cemetery Trust knew that the men were buried in the cemetery, but did not know where. “I think it’s really important from a Trust point of view to

recognise these men, and make sure that they are able to be visited,” she said. Displays of photographs and other memorabilia by Bob Sutherland, Florence Elliott and Kevin Ford added a further dimension to the service. “It was very moving,“ Ms De Laps said.

Here’s your chance to win one of six double passes to see CATS the Musical opening in Melbourne at the Regent Theatre from Friday December 18 2015.

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.

CATS is quite simply a phenomenon. Featuring a fantastical oversized set, a superb score, inspired choreography and mischievous costumes, CATS is a brilliant song and dance spectacular not to be missed. Each double pass is valued at $239.80 and is for the Friday December 18 performance @ 8pm.

STUDENTS at Millwarra Primary School were part of a choir of more than half a million singers on Thursday. Across Australia, 2100 schools took part in ‘Music Count Us In’, celebrating the benefits of music education in Australian schools. Tuning into a live telecast from the Sydney’s Taronga Zoo, the East Warburton and Millgrove students and teachers gathered at 12.30pm to sing ‘Gold’, written by singer Marcia Hines in collaboration with four students from different parts of the country. In the lead-up to the big sing, Ms Hines said, the message they had wanted to impart through the song was to “always hold on to the child inside you”. Millwarra teacher, Grace Barnard, said ‘Gold’ was personal to each child, conveying that they were all wonderful in some way. She said being part of “Music Count Us In” had been a great experience for students from Prep right through to Grade 6. “They love coming together and singing together and love making up the actions to the song as well,” she said.

TOOLANGI’S Knitting Nannas have gone to police after allegedly being bullied by VicForest contractors and receiving a barrage of abuse on Facebook. A member of the Knitting Nannas of Toolangi (KNOT), who asked not to be named, said the group had been inundated with abusive Facebook messages after posting about a VicForests contractor allegedly driving dangerously. On the KNOT Facebook page, the group posted a photo of a truck, which the group said was travelling along Sylvia Creek Road and sent “a young child running frightened for his life and covering us all in dust”, when the group was by the roadside on the corner of Myers Creek Road. The member said that protimber industry Facebook users took to the thread with abusive and threatening comments. “I was the person monitoring the page ... and spent most of the day fielding abusive, insulting and threatening comments,” they said. “It did continue a little bit, until I put up a note saying we take screenshots and said trolling will not be tolerated.” One of the comments posted a photograph of a large log, on the back of a logging truck in East Gippsland, with the words “hug this” spray painted onto its base. The post appears to be a reference to ‘tree huggers’, one of the terms used against anti-logging protesters and environmentalists.

The photo has been re-posted numerous times on social media by environmentalists, with the hashtag #Hugthis. Other media outlets estimated the tree to be about 100 years old. “It’s clear that it offended a lot of people, not just us,” the KNOT member said. They said the group contacted police about the incident, but Kinglake Police Leading Senior Constable (LSC) Roger Wood said no registration number for the vehicle was provided. He said residents wanting to report dangerous driving should take note of registration numbers, and that video or photographic evidence was “the best evidence we can have”. VicForests general manager of Stakeholders and Planning Nathan Trushell said the organisation was “aware” of the photograph, and apologised for any offence it caused. “We don’t condone this type of behaviour and we are following up with the contractor concerned to address this issue,” Mr Trushell said. “Our contractors are very responsible in the way they conduct themselves, but this was a clear error in judgement from the individual involved,” he said. Mr Trushell said the tree was between two metres in diameter, and while it was “larger than average”, the size of tree was “not uncommon”. “Trees of this size, and much larger, are well represented in extensive parks and reserves system as well as in State forest areas,” he said.

Awards for young leaders By KATH GANNAWAY FIVE remarkable young people were recognised last week by Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Banks for their contribution to the Upper Yarra community. Aleksei Bondarenko-Edwards, Harley Lubeck, Rebecca LunsdenKeys, Hannah Mahoney and Steven Sanders were announced as 2015 Ian De La Rue Youth Initiative Award recipients at the Upper Yarra Community Enterprise AGM on Wednesday night. UYCE chairman, Peter Kimberley, said the calibre of nominations this year made it impossible to single out one recipient. Presenting the award certificates and a cheque for $1000, Mr Kimberley described the diverse group of young people as leaders in their communities and thanked them for the opportunities they create for others. A common theme of each nomination was connection to community passion for the activity they are involved in and a desire to make a difference. Aleksei Bondarenko-Edwards, 24, was recognised as “a local champion for affordable health and wellbeing”. “Through his work at the Yarra Centre, he has created positive networks with community health practitioners, and mental health support networks and runs programs to enable with young adults in the local community,” his nominator, Lesley Grimes said. His marketing and social media skills have provided new perspectives in connecting his community. She said Aleksei is “ ...motivated to be inclusive of people from culturally diverse backgrounds and responsive to the needs of those experiencing disadvantage. Harley Lubeck, 19, was nominated by Tony Aulich from Yarra Junction Football Netball Club. He said when adversity struck, Harley had risen to the challenge. He returned to school and is in Year

He was active in the Warburton Skatepark initiative and recently co-organised a fund-raiser for War Veterans. Mr Aulich said Harley was a role model to other young men and his ‘right-hand man’ at the football club, taking on a raft of responsibilities after the death earlier this year of club stalwart, Peter Wadsworth. “Harley has stepped up and has continued the type of work that Peter did putting up his hand for anything that’s asked,” he said..

“He has never missed a night, or a day, and is reliability and initiative personified. “He shows other youth they can do it.” Rebecca Lumsden-Keys, 22, was nominated by Sarah Ward-Brumhead, UYCE’s newest director. Rebecca is a director of MISFIT Theatre where as part of her promotions role she encourages young, atrisk people and youth of all abilities to participate. “She has profiled the stories of more than 140 young people through the group’s facebook page encourag-

ing a deeper level of understanding and providing a voice to youth in the valley,” Ms Ward-Brumhead said. Rebecca, a young mother, involved with River Valley Church, co-organiser of Warburton Carols by Candlelight, co-owner of a photography business and student at Deakin University. “She has a passion for youth empowerment and works hard to create a better future for young people in the Upper Yarra Valley.” Hannah Mahoney, 15, and Junior School Captain at Upper Yarra Secondary College, was described by her nominator, Kate Barrett, as considerate

and passionate in her commitment to help and motivate others. She volunteers at the Koha Community Cafe, Redwood Kids Resilience Building Program, the local school and Warburton’s community gardens. “She understands that one person can make a difference,” Ms Barrett said. She recently offered ‘free hugs’ in Melbourne to spread the message of kindness. “Her dedication and kindness has made a lasting impact on the Redwood Mentoring program and its kids,” she sid. Steven Sanders, 24, was nominated by Barry McDonald of Powelltown Football Club. He said when the club needed an Under 18 coach this year, Steven stepped up as a leader. He said that through his patience and determination, he created a culture of hard work and a challenging yet safe environment for the players who all look up to him. Despite not winning a game all year, they had remained committed and connected, he said. “Steve always leads with the values of honesty, respect and integrity. “Without Steve’s drive, commitment and passion for his players, there would be 20 young men without a football team.” Mr Kimberley said the Youth Initiative Award was key to inspiring young people in the area to do something in their community that matters towards their collective future. ‘Our young people hold the key to engaging other young people, and also have the opportunity to build strong platforms now that will enhance their prospects and future accomplishments,” he said. “I know we will look to these young people with confidence as leaders in our community and without them many projects today would simply not exist.”

School kids surprise birthday girl Sharon By JESSE GRAHAM

Healesville Primary School crossing supervisor Sharon Stephens with flowers she received from a student for her 60th birthday on Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Friday. 146309

IT WAS a birthday to remember for Healesville Primary School crossing supervisor, Sharon Stephens, who celebrated her 60th birthday with every school student bursting into song. When Ms Stephens arrived at work on Friday, 30 October, she was greeted by banners reading “Happy 60th Birthday”, complete with balloons hung from the gates at the school on View Street. “I got the shock of my life when I came out here this morning,” she said. As students were dropped off at school and walked across the crossing, many greeted her with birthday wishes and some were shouted from the school

buses as they passed. One student, along with her mother, handed Ms Stephens some roses, tied together with ribbons. But the real surprise came at 8.52am, when the school bell went and children started pouring out of the gate in their dozens, flooding into the area behind the crossing. Once every student in the school was gathered behind her, they broke into two choruses of Happy Birthday, cheering at the end of each. Ms Stephens said that she had been volunteering at the school for 32 years, with 20 of those years spent on the crossing.

Her other years involved helping out with reading, swimming, office work or in the kitchen. She said former students she had worked with had come back to the school with their own children, and that she’s often recognised down the street though some students referred to her as “Lolli” for Lollipop Lady. “Even in the supermarket, everywhere I go, it’s ‘Hi, Lolli!’,” she said. Ms Stephens said she would continue to volunteer at the school, and said the children’s friendly faces were the best part of the job. “I love it. I absolutely love it - the kids, they keep me young,” she said.

REVISIONAL bariatric surgery is performed to repair or alter one of the various types of surgery done for weight loss. This is often required to improve weight loss outcomes and a persons’ quality of life. With increasing numbers of surgical procedures performed for the treatment of morbid obesity, the need to revise and/or repair these operations is on the rise. The two operations that were widely performed for the treatment of morbid obesity and associated with a high rate of revision are gastric stapling and gastric band. The gastric sleeve and gastric bypass are the next stage in treatment for these patients. Careful assessment and consideration is essential in the decision between the patient, the GP and the surgeon.

Warburton wins it WARBURTON BOWLS OVERCAST and windy weather welcomed the bowlers for the Saturday Pennant games. Warburton 1 played home against Ferntree Gully and won 92 to 63 after a tight tussle throughout the afternoon. Rink scores were as follows: P. Caneva 29/ 16; B. Woods 26/ 13; J. Brookes 19/ 14 and A. Donohue 18/ 20. Jeremy Brookes played a great firstup game for the club. Warburton 2 played Glen Waverley away on beautiful grass and made amends for last week’s disappointing

result by winning 99 to 51. Rink scores: G. Wynd 21/ 13; S. Mahoney 25/ 16; S. Caneva 40/ 4 and S. Freestone 13/ 18. Shane Caneva’s rink was outstanding in an overall great team performance from everyone. The club welcomed Chris Lord for his first Pennant game for the club. Warburton 3 played away at Chadstone on grass and lost by one point, 40 to 41. Rink scores: C. Kercher 20/ 20 and R. Newing 20/ 21. Warburton 4 (Division 8 Section 6) unfortunately had to forfeit. The Tuesday Pennant side played at

home against Lilydale and won 56 to 54 despite losing two rinks. Rink scores: Rayna Zunneberg 14/ 27; Rod Zunneberg 26/ 10 and S. Freestone 16/ 17. They followed up by playing Ringwood away on Thursday (in lieu of Cup Day) but went down 41 to 75. Rink scores: Rayna Zunneberg 18/ 19; Rod Zunneberg 7/ 31 and S. Freestone 16/ 25. The Second Annual Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition was a wonderful day last Sunday week with the team of Garry and Gwenda, and Adams and Pat Hillas, the ‘winners’.

Ralph Logan sweeps the greens WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY, 28 October, Stableford: Winner was Ralph Logan with a stunning 44 points. With a handicap of 23, this means Ralph shot 81 ‘off the stick’. Runner-up: Rex Ryan with 41. The ball rundown went to 35. N.T.P’s on the day went to Butch Hollis (3rd), John Hall (12th) and P.K. on the 17th. Twilight Stableford: Winner: Kerry Slater with 25 points accumulated over nine holes; a great effort. Runner-up:

Gerry Hadfield with 22. Balls went down to 17. The N.T.P’s went to Shane Campbell 10th, Kim Kennedy 12th, and Gerry Hadfield 15th. Gerry is our oldest ‘active member’ and has been almost our most consistent in recent months. Saturday, 31 October: Stableford: A Grade winner was Meredith Nursey, with another terrific round of 38 points. But, Meredith did ‘not’ have the best round of the day. That honour went to

the B Grade winner Roger Mataele, with 41 points. Well done, Roger. Balls went down to 32. The N.T.P’s went to Geoff Ireson 3rd, Sean Kennedy 5th, P.K. 9th and Geoff Fall 15th. The much-valued Medal of Medallists was played yesterday. The winner of this Board event was Tony Bickley, who played a very steady round to shoot 76 ‘off the stick’ for a Nett 70, which was good enough to beat the other seven medallists. Well done, Tony. A good example to set for your cadets.

Good win to Yarra Glen YARRA GLEN BOWLS DIVISION 1 came home with a seven-shot win over Ivanhoe this week, which sees the team win their second game for the season. With 2 rinks up, 1 drawn and 1 down, the team put in a mighty effort to maintain the lead; they fought off a comeback from Ivanhoe to win 79 (15) to 70 (3). The next match will be against Lilydale which is turning out to be a friendly rivalry against last year’s coach Troy Stafford. Lilydale have only lost 1 game with Yarra Glen 2 wins 4 losses so will be an interesting and passionate tussle. It is really encouraging to see Yarra Glen being represented by three teams twice a week; all players have worked extremely hard and have enjoyed the challenges. The club’s future is very bright, so why don’t you come along and see for yourself? The midweekers played two games last week, both Tuesday and Thursday due to the Melbourne Cup rolling into town. There will be no bowls next weekend due to the Victorian Open, a weeklong event taking place in Shepparton where some of the finest bowlers will be on display vying for Victorian titles and Australian recognition, so a well-

deserved break for everyone this week. ROUND 5/6 Midweek Division 1 - Section 4 Open: Round 5 - Heathmont 60 d Yarra Glen 50. Round 6 - Yarra Glen 52 def by Mooroolbark 62. Player of the Week: Jenny Tirant/Nick Suttie. Next round travel to Warburton. Midweek Division 3 - Section 4 Open: Round 5 - Healesville 67 d Yarra Glen 61. Round 6 - Yarra Glen 63 d Lilydale 49.

Aces finish off good work By CHRIS ANDERSON CRICKETERS across the Yarra Valley woke to the sound of pouring rain, thunder and lightning, and could’ve been forgiven for thinking this day of cricket was done. This wasn’t to be the case as the rain eased and play started on time. The unpredictable nature of the weather was offset by the predictable nature of the play as the games in DJ Strachan Shield were clinched by the teams holding all the aces after day one. Hoddles Creek’s unbeaten run came to an abrupt halt as they were unable to chase Healesville’s total of 8/269. From the word go, the Wombats were on the back foot as young star Dermott Fry (4/35) clinched two wickets in the first over, then proceeded to put the Hoddles Creek batting line up well and truly on the back foot. With the assistance of his opening partner Luke Zanatta (2/25) and their slow bowling brigade, Healesville never gave Hoddles Creek a sniff. Regular wickets saw the innings wrapped up at 138, a massive 131 runs shy of the total. Simon McLachlan (40) and Will Trotter (27) did their best to put some respectability in to the total late in the piece; however, that was the only thing that could be achieved after their experienced top order collapsed. Healesville now has the break, and after the comprehensive victory, and a levelling of the win/loss ledger, the Bloods can move on with confidence that they can make a difference this season. Even though it was the first taste of defeat for the Wombats, the nature of the loss would be disappointing as they need to back up against a red hot Woori Yallock. Woori Yallock remains the only undefeated team this season as they put on a clinical display over two days against Mount Evelyn. The Tigers made light work of the Mount Evelyn’s total of 172, as they absorbed the best the Rovers could muster. Openers Ryan Smith and Mick Dwyer absorbed some good bowling, particularly a fiery opening burst from Damian Cupido, but also managed to tick the score over at a reasonable rate. With an opening partnership of 103, the pair had put their team in an impregnable position as they were able to dictate the tempo of the innings. Despite some excellent bowling from young left-arm off-spinner Jed Thompson (2/59), and the wicket of Dwyer, the scoring rate was as such that Ryan Smith, and new partner Luke Smith, could nudge the ball around and cruise to the target. Two late wickets gave some joy to a Mount Evelyn side that had battled hard, but the day belonged to Smith as he clinched his maiden A Grade century in a masterful display by himself and his team as they passed the target with seven wickets in hand, and 15 overs to spare. After clinching the title last season, Woori Yallock has done nothing to dispel the fact they are the team to beat this season. They will look to keep the ball rolling against Hoddles Creek, while a stumbling Mount Evelyn faces a battle of two of the youngest teams in the Valley as they face an equally struggling Seville. Seville was no match for the experience and skill of Warburton-

Millgrove as it was put to the sword on day two. Chasing the challenging total of 208, this contest was done and dusted early as the Burra’s star opening bowler David Lever (6/40) smashed through the Blues top order, then brother Daniel’s (4/10) off-spin ripped through the tail to see the visitors tucked away for 63. Eyeing off an easy kill and some outright points, the home side asked Seville to bat again, but as is so often the case, the Blues mustered better resistance, and pride, in the second innings to safely navigate the remainder of the day to finish at 2/89. Blues stalwart Andy Kay (35n.o.) wasn’t going to allow his club to be embarrassed, as his inexperienced teammates supported him in the cause. Seville will now look to a solid week on the track as they will view next week’s clash against Mount Evelyn as an opportunity to break their run of outs, while WarburtonMillgrove will hope to build on their momentum, and continue to grow their stakes in the premiership race, as they face a Yarra Junction team that could just about throw them anything.
