Court talks ‘positive’
SEPTIC TANK
Ms Thompson said the shire had agreed to investigate numerous options to reduce the utility costs. The shire representatives are due to report back in the next few weeks. Mr Thompson said one of the most pleasing aspects of the meeting had been the acknowledgement in the difficulties associated with heating and cooling costs. “Everyone appreciates the unique design of this 1876 building, which has a large open space and 30-foot high cathedral ceilings, which means higher than usual energy costs,” she said. “With the shire, we are now exploring alternative options which we
will put to our members at our regular monthly meeting on Saturday, 6 February, which we hope will ensure our society can continue to call the Old Lilydale Court House home.” Initially, Director Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis, said in November 2014 council had endorsed a new leasing and licensing policy to establish a more equitable framework for all users of council’s facilities. He said findings had shown inconsistencies in leasing arrangements, including payment of utility costs. But the talks have come as a great relief for the society, with the present licence agreement due to expire next month.

If the group was to walk away from the site, there is great belief among the committee the society would continue but it would strike a hefty blow. Ms Thompson said this prospect had generated much community support. “The society has been overwhelmed by the groundswell of support we have received from individuals, historians, heritage groups, the Federation of Australian Historical Societies and the local media,” she said. “This support shows how much communities across the state value their history and the work of historical societies.”

LILYDALE Historical Society may yet continue to call the Old Lilydale Court House home. Despite the society speaking out over frustrations with a new licence agreement offered by Yarra Ranges Council, talks between the two parties seem to have been positive. Representatives met last Wednesday, 20 January, to discuss the agreement, which had included an annual fee increase from around $1300 to $3000. The historical society said they could not afford such a fee rise and would likely walk away from the site it
had called home for the past five years. They also argue the age of the building and its dimensions make it difficult to heat and cool efficiently. But Lilydale Historical Society President, Sue Thompson, said she was buoyed over last week’s talks. “Great strides have been made to resolving the ... continued use of the Old Lilydale Court House,” she said. “The Society’s committee spent two hours with council officers Bob Mason and Michelle Danks. “Issues with the licence agreement and its conditions were discussed at length and agreement reached on most items.”

Awards for the caring, bearing By JESSE GRAHAM A GROUP of inspirational Yarra Ranges residents will be recognised for their community work with Australia Day awards to be handed out this afternoon in Yarra Glen. Residents from around the shire will receive awards and certificates at 2pm on Tuesday 26 January, at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall, as part of the Yarra Ranges Council’s annual awards. One of the award recipients is Lilydale’s Julie Cuffe, who runs a fortnightly karaoke evening for people with disabilities. Run out of Mount Evelyn’s Lou’s Lounge, about 28 people from the Yarra Valley and beyond gather to sing, dance, and have a social night. “They socialise, and they start off where they might not even sing, or get up, or anything, or they’ve got behaviour problems,” Ms Cuffe said. “Eventually, even the ones with behaviour problems, they don’t do it with the music. “They all learn from it, they gain experience, and they’re in a place where they’re accepted.” Hills resident and The Patch Primary School student Jasmine Andrews will receive the Ken McIntosh Memorial Award for young environmental achievers, for her work at school. Jasmine told the Mail that, as part of her school’s Grub Club, she works out in the school’s gardens under the supervision of environment teacher Michelle Rayner. Her work at the school to improve and protect wildlife habitat saw the
school win the Best garden for Habitat award at the Victorian School Gardens Awards. She said her love of the environment was something she’d like to keep through the rest of her life. “I would love, even when I’m mum’s age, to still be out in the garden and doing things - to see things that need to be done, and to do things sustainably and live sustainably,” she said. Jasmine added that anyone can do their bit for the environment, whether it be through having a vegie patch or composting. Belgrave’s Jenny Saulwick will receive the Environmentalist of the Year award, honouring her work with environmental groups, such as the Community Weed Alliance of the Dandenongs (CWAD), Greens Victoria, as well as work with the council - including driving the creation of the Burrinja Cultural Centre. Yarra Junction’s Brendan Murphy will receive the council’s top award Citizen of the Year - at the ceremony, for his work in creating a video that went viral. The video urged men to prevent violence against women. It features young men from Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League (YVMDFNL) clubs, who say that men who commit violence against women - and their mates - should know better. Healesville’s Chenile Chandler, meanwhile, is set to receive the Young Citizen of the Year award, for sharing her Wurundejeri culture at Healesville High School - where she is one of the 2016 school captains - among other achievements.
Briefly Strange cafe break-in
Warburton’s Jeff Gill will be awarded the Ian Del La Rue Award for Community Leadership, for his work with the Warburton Advancement League, among other groups, over the past 15 years. Yarra Valley Chrome Bumpers will receive the Community Group of the Year award, for their efforts in raising more than $52,000 for the Lilydale CFA through monthly car meetings. Certificates will be handed out to Launching Place’s Connie Grogan, Yarra Glen’s Mike Baimbridge, Healesville’s Maggie and Geoff Daish, Yarra Junction’s Irene Stewart, Lilydale residents Julie Cuffe, Greg Morton and Julie Cuffe, Belgrave’s C. J. Dakis and Kathleen Snowball, and Olinda resident, John Faull. Mr Faull’s certificate acknowledges his work in campaigning for the re-opening of the Olinda Pool, which after two years was successful, with an opening in December. Ms Dakis and Ms Snowball’s certificates, meanwhile, commend the pair for initiating and running Belgrave’s End of the Line Festival. Yarra Ranges Mayor Jason Callanan said the awards recognised the contributions of residents and groups to better the area they lived in. “Australia Day is our opportunity to celebrate those who give so much to the community,” he said. “We are so lucky to have an abundance of people making the Yarra Ranges an even better place to live, work and visit.” For more photographs and interviews with the Australia Day Award winners, visit mail.starcommunity.com.au.
A STRANGE break-in at a cafe in Montrose has police calling for witnesses, with burglars using a power tool to smash through a door lock. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said between 5pm on Sunday 18 January and 6.45am the following day, unknown people forced their way into the Hummingbird Cafe on Mount Dandenong Road in Montrose. But Det Sgt Barrow said the thieves entered by using a drill on the lock - an unusual method of entry in burglaries. He said police were still unsure whether anything was stolen in the burglary, but were calling on anyone who saw suspicious behaviour or vehicles at the shop to come forward. “We’re looking for anyone who saw anyone at the premises or a vehicle at those times, that maybe looked out of place,” Det Sgt Barrow said. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Hunt for LED light thief A LIGHT-HANDED thief is being hunted by police, after stealing an LED strip light from a car in Lilydale last week. Between 1am and 2.05am on Thursday 21 January, two men are believed to have stolen an LED strip light from the front of a ute in Arwon Court in Lilydale. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said the light was valued at $150, and that a witness saw two men at the scene, one of whom got out of a ute and was seen entering a driveway. The men were seen in a dark-coloured ute with two metal toolboxes at the back. Anyone with information is

Valuable tools stolen POLICE are appealing for witnesses after more than $20,000 worth of tools were stolen from a business in Kilsyth last week. Between 4.30pm on Wednesday, 20 January, and 6am the next day, BRC Piling and Foundations on Canterbury Road, Kilsyth, was broken into. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said that tin snips or similar tools were used to cut corrugated iron to gain entry to the building. Once inside, thieves made off with more than $20,000 worth of tools, including a chainsaw, welders, socket sets and a truck jack. “They would have had to have a vehicle,” Det Sgt Barrow said. “The amount of it says either they had a ute or tradesman’s vehicle, or a trailer attached. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Truck fire POLICE were called to the Gembrook-Launching Place Raod at 5.25am on 24 January where a Hino truck was on fire. The fire was quickly extinguished by the CFA, but the cabin of the truck was completely destroyed. The truck was stolen from a business in Narre Warren along with a bobcat, the previous evening but the bobcat was not with the truck when it was located. Inquiries are still ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Cardinia Crime Investigation Unit or Crimestoppers.

Real heat is yet to come From my
desk Jason Callahan
Yarra Ranges mayor/Chandler Ward
JANUARY may almost be over, but the hot weather is likely to continue with some of our hottest days occurring in February each year. If you live in a fire risk area, chances are you will have already practised your fire plan.
It’s never too late in the season to review your plan. Make sure you and your family know what you’re going to do on a day of severe, extreme or code red fire risk. As you plan for an emergency, spare a thought for the vulnerable people in your community, such as the elderly or those with a disability and ensure they are included in a plan, too. It’s not just fires that can cause tragedy in summer, because heat can kill, too. During times of consistently hot weather, make sure you adjust your
behaviour – stay in cool places and drink plenty of water. Make sure you also keep an eye on your elderly relatives and neighbours during hot weather. As a paramedic, I have seen too many elderly people affected by the heat. Some I have attended to have too many clothes on, don’t drink water, don’t cool their home and are still outside doing gardening in the heat. You need to adjust your habits in the heat to survive. This week we celebrate Australia
Day and take the opportunity to recognise our local residents who have made a significant contribution to our community. We also welcome 55 new citizens who will take the oath on Australia Day. I’d like to congratulation the 2016 Yarra Ranges Australia Day Award recipients, who will be presented at a special ceremony at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall: Citizen of the Year – Brendan Murphy; Young Citizen of the Year – Chenile Chandler; Environmentalist of the Year – Jenny Saulwick; Ken McIntosh
Memorial Award (Young Environmental Achiever) – Jasmine Andrews; Ian Del La Rue Award for Community leadership – Jeff Gill; Community Group of the Year – Yarra Valley Chrome Bumpers; Mayor’s Lifetime Achievement Award – Catherine Carr. Certificates of recognition: Greg Morton – Lilydale; Connie Grogan - Launching Place; Jack Rose - Lilydale; C.J Dakis and Kathleen Snowball – Belgrave; Mike Bainbridge – Yarra Glen; John Faull – Olinda; Irene Stewart – Yarra Junction; Julie Cuffe – Lilydale; Maggie and Geoff Daish – Healesville.
RSL visit inspects care for veterans

MAIL reader Rob Bonici submitted this incredible image of the Silvan reservoir. Rob said he was inspired by the view. “I took this photograph looking over Silvan reservoir and towards the Yarra ranges from Olinda,” he said. “I used a telephoto lens because I didn’t want to include too many trees which would distract from the view and I wanted the mountains to appear closer.” The Mail is inviting all passionate shutterbugs to submit entries for our Lenscape section. Tell us the story behind the image or any techniques you may have tried. Email editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au. 149269
MONBULK RSL member Ted Beard recently visited Cockatoo Rise War Veterans’ Retreat at Bairnsdale. The facility is the only one of its type in Victoria and caters for the respite, rehabilitation and care of war veterans. The retreat provides a place where veterans and their partners can share time together and with mates in a safe, secure and peaceful environment. The museum at the retreat gets much interest from groups of school children and others. Mr Beard is seen looking at one-day ration packs and trying on a complete set of webbing used in the field in Afghanistan today. Fully loaded the webbing’s weight is about 46-50kgs. Mr Beard served with the Royal Australian Ordnance Corps from 1969 to 1971 and was posted to Vung Tau and Saigon, South Vietnam.

No appeal on wards plan
Cartoon
By PETER DOUGLAS YARRA Ranges Council will take no action against recommendations to establish multimember wards although councillors may continue to speak out on the matter. After preliminary investigations during August and September last year, the Victorian Electoral Commission released its final electoral review recommendation on 25 November 2015. It recommended a reduction of wards from nine to three, with three councillors representing each ward. In a statement to the Mail, Acting Director Corporate Services Jennifer Bednar said there would be no appeal from the shire. “Yarra Ranges Council will take no further action, as an organisation, on the multi-member ward structure,” she said. “This does not preclude individual councillors from conveying their thoughts/issues directly and on their own behalf. “The Minister (Victorian Minister for Local Government, Natalie Hutchins) is also yet to sign off on the proposed structure.” The statement comes as Mount Evelyn residents, ratepayers and the Mount Evelyn Environment Protection and
Progress Association (MEEPPA) voiced its concerns over both the recommendations and the VEC process. MEEPPA told the Mail it has formally appealed to Ms Hutchins over the recommendations because they believed the process was “flawed from day one”. Their main argument was the omission of Mount Evelyn from the VEC Initial Report at the start of the preliminary stages, an error that was later rectified. MEEPPA member Franc Smith said the initial omission caused great concern among the community. “That omission, if not detected, had the potential to disenfranchise the fourth largest town in the shire,” he said. Mr Smith insisted the group’s distress was as much about the process as the recommendation. “On the public submissions night, there was an option ‘D’ dropped at the 11th hour,” he said. “We’re extremely worried.” He believed many ratepayers have become disenfranchised. “We believe that we have amply demonstrated serious shortcomings in this Electoral Representation Review and the process was flawed from day one,” he said.
“After all, what we are talking about here is the democratic election of the third tier of government and the people’s right to a transparent democratic process, which we believe has been seriously compromised.” If Ms Hutchins signs off on the VEC recommendations, the three wards affected will be Chirnside, which takes in the urban areas of the municipality around Lilydale; O’Shannassy, which encompasses the Yarra Valley and Mount Evelyn; and Streeton, which covers the Dandenong Ranges. Mayor Jason Callanan last year expressed to the Mail his concerns with the recommendations. Cr Callanan said the change meant he would be now be seeking re-election with councillors Jim Child and Fiona McAllister in a ward that covered the entire Yarra Valley, about 22,000 square kilometres. “I honestly don’t know how it’s going to work, I really don’t,” he told the Mail at the time. However, Mr Smith said he was frustrated over the inaction from Yarra Ranges Council. “They’ve done nothing to educate the people,” he said. “If Mayor Callanan said it wouldn’t work, why then has nothing been done about it, not a thing.”

Keep the support a-rockin’ By PETER DOUGLAS ROCKBERRY Jam promoters are urging punters to support the rock event or risk losing it for good. Despite an encouraging turnout last year, the initiative is yet to turn a profit and a strong showing this year will be critical to its ongoing viability. The Jam is now in its third year and again features a host of Australian rock’s favourite heroes, with Shannon
Noll this year headlining much top talent. Also on the bill will be ‘90s music legends Pseudo Echo, along with the voices of Boom Crash Opera (Dale Ryder), the Choirboys (Mark Gable) and Taxi Ride (Jason Singh). AFL music-man Mike ‘Up there Cazaly’ Brady will also round off an impressive line-up. Silvan Football Club President,
Chris Maclagan, who is one of the driving forces behind the event, said the committee wanted to give this year’s event “a real crack”. “All the feedback we’ve had is positive, it’s been phenomenal, I’ve not heard not one negative thing about this event,” he said. “Financially, we’ve struggled a bit for the first year, come back a bit last year, but we really need to turn it
around, otherwise it becomes unviable.” Mr Maclagan said the committee believed a turnout of about 2000 people would be a pass-mark, while 2500 would be fantastic. Finances aside, music-goers have had nothing but praise for the event and it’s not hard to see why, with such an incredible line-up. “It’s a great day of Aussie rock,” Mr Maclagan said.
“There are other festivals at wineries around this area, but this is something different. “It’s close, great value for money and everyone has a great time.” Mr Maclagan encourages those interested to book their tickets online, which will make it more convenient for concert-goers on the day. For more information, visit www. rockberryjam.com.au.

Students’ studio art showcase By PETER DOUGLAS
Duo to hit the Who for folk-rock By PETER DOUGLAS AN EMERGING musical brotherhood will be soon on show for the folk-rock fans in the Yarra Ranges. After performing with some of the music world’s finest artists, including Bob Dylan and Nick Cave, Hills local Matt Walker is preparing to team up with his ‘musical brother’ Neil Murray. The pair will play a show at the Who Club in Warburton on Saturday, 13 February. Walker and Murray only met last year after a chance meeting at a Sydney gig, but since then formed a
close musical bond, which they are keen to share with local audiences. Walker said their musical styles just seemed to click. “We only crossed paths recently, just by chance, but I’d been a fan of Neil’s work for some time,” he said. “We performed together and just got a great vibe going. “His music traditionally has a great rhythm section that really drives the music, it seems to complement my work.” Walker said the collaboration had seen them push each other in new directions.
“Neil plays a Gretsch semiacoustic which is really distinctive. “He’s also been encouraging me to play more lap steel (guitar), which I haven’t done in many years.” The musicians will both play solo, as well as together, and are planning to treat audiences with some new collaborative material. Raised in the Hills, Walker knows the local music scene as well as anyone. He first picked up a guitar at age 14 and spent much of his musical formative years at the Selby Folk Club.
This passion soon evolved into 11 solo albums, countless shows and festivals, not to mention his work with acclaimed group, Lost Ragas. In the band, Walker plays guitar and shares vocal duties with Shane Reilly (pedal steel guitar), while Roger Bergodaz features on the bass guitar and Simon Burke on the drums. Walker said the Who Club’s renowned intimacy would provide an incredible experience for both the audience and musicians.
Two tales of the heart on screen The Revenant and Carol Rated MA15+ and M (respectively) WE’RE doubling up again this week, covering a gruelling historical drama on one hand and a beautifully tragic romance on the other. The Revenant is based on the true story of Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), an American frontiersman who is mauled by a bear and left for dead by his party, only
to crawl 200 miles in search of vengeance. The Revenant is bare-bones in its simplicity, but still riveting and phenomenally suspenseful, and anchored by a fiercely driven, largely silent performance by DiCaprio. Carol is a tender, heartbreakingly poignant film about a young photographer, Therese (Rooney Mara), who falls in love with a charismatic older woman named Carol (Cate Blanchett).
Carol has some of the most striking, subtly profound use of body language in years, and Blanchett and Mara have remarkable chemistry as two women gently yet passionately exploring their feelings for each other. Both films have staggering atmosphere and are, in their own way, about overcoming adversity. You can practically feel the frigid landscape and Glass’s agonised determination in The Revenant. As
the backdrop for the forbidden romance, Carol’s 1950s setting feels quaintly magical, but the film also distils the conservatism and intolerance of the time period down to an intimately personal scale, which increases our investment and boosts the tension. Both films hinge on their stellar performances, and are duly recognised at this year’s Oscars. – Seth Hynes
EMERGING local artists Amanda Lacy and Rosie Nash will enjoy the chance to exhibit their work at the upcoming VCE Creative Showcase. Now in its ninth year, the initiative includes work from Yarra Ranges secondary schools and will culminate with exhibitions at the Burrinja Cultural Centre, the Studio Gallery in Warburton and the Red Earth Gallery in Mooroolbark. The collection features works from the 2015 graduates of art and studio art. Development officer Amy Middleton is curating the exhibition after numerous visits to art classes at schools in the region. After meeting with the students and teachers, she observes the students’ portfolios as they develop. The result is an opening night in which the public, along with friends and families of the artists, can attend and celebrate. Monbulk College VCE student Amanda Lacy said she was excited to receive recognition for her hard work. “It’s been a long process. “It’s great to look back to see how far I’ve come since I first started,” she said. “This is something I’ve put a lot of work into, so it’s great to be recognised.” Amanda said she will present photograph prints, some of which have been manipulated digitally. She said her theme focuses on the subconscious and includes topics such as insomnia and nightmares. “This is a great initiative and I can’t wait for people to see my work,” she said. Opening nights for the exhibition are Red Earth Gallery on Thursday 4 February at 6pm, Burrinja Gallery on Friday 5 February at 7pm, and The Studio Gallery in Warburton on Saturday 6 February at 2pm.

The Minister for Planning has approved Amendment C161 to the Cardinia Planning Scheme. The Amendment comes into operation on the date this notice is published in the Government Gazette. The Amendment implements the findings of the ‘Cardinia Local Heritage Study Review Volumes 1, 2 and 3 – Sept 2015’ by applying the Heritage Overlay to sites identified as having heritage significance, correcting mapping anomalies, applying Schedule 7 to the Significance Landscape Overlay (SLO4) to 4 Edenmont Road, Emerald, and introduces relevant Incorporated and Reference documents.

Gators enjoy revival By STEVE BROWN BOTTOM teams Knox Gardens and Mt Gate fought it out at Windermere Reserve, with the winner gaining some temporary reprieve from relegation. Last week, the Knox Gardens Falcons set the Gators 217, and everything was going to plan with some early wickets, as the home side was struggling at 3/40. Marshall Bunting joined Dewayne Bowden at the crease, and the pair added 153 for the fourth wicket before Bunting was run out for 72 and Mt Gate had the ascendancy. When the game appeared all but over, off-spinner Dain Vernon (3/34) switched ends and had Bowden caught sweeping for 95. A slight panic went through the Mt Gate camp until Josh Lindner struck a boundary, giving the Gators the points by three wickets. After rain on Friday night, Ferntree Gully had little chance of chasing Belgrave’s 388. After the top-order failed, it was left to Shane Richardson and Peter Mannaert to push the score to 211. Michael Litterbach returned best figures with 3/38 for the Magpies which hold on to third position on the ladder with three games to play. Upwey Tecoma’s 251 proved a big test for home side Monbulk (106) in slow conditions and the Hawks succumbed to the medium pace of Steve Moore who claimed 4/21. The win not only gives the Tigers some breathing space from the bottom of the table, but actually places them one win outside the four. Eildon Park struck a minefield early in their innings against The Basin which compiled 236. The Panthers run-chase began in disastrous fashion as they slumped to
6/41 before Adrian Baltruschatis came to the rescue with a fighting 59. Tailenders Nathan Caton-Robertson and Adrian Brown added 58 for the last wicket to give the side some respectability before they were dismissed for 194. Knoxfield 8/298 continues to lead the finals race, easily accounting for Johnson Park who were dismissed for 114. The win reclaimed the Mark Paffett Shield, a local derby between the two clubs in honour of a champion. Mitchell Perry bagged 5/21 for the winners.

FOUR out of five wins went to the Monbulk Hawks on Saturday. Unfortunately, it was the first XI that was defeated by Upwey. The seconds defended their 249 with Chris Martin bowling beautifully. The thirds got their outright win on the back of Evan Binding’s double hat-trick and Liam Mackin’s century last week. The fourths won a high-scoring affair with Clayton Spooner making his highest score of 73 not out. The Under 16s also won, defeating The Basin. This is their sixth win and they sit second on the ladder. Unfortunately, all of the Friday night juniors were washed out, and this round will be replayed on Wednesday 10 February. 1st XI - Upwey Tecoma 251 (D. McKay 3/33, C.

Eagles dare, and final bound Morison
loves the par By DENNIS FULLER AT Emerald Golf Club last Saturday, it evolved the game was par, which was met with a mixture of horror and acclamation. The member who loves this format most, Leigh Morison (20), cheered loudest and then went out and showed why the enthusiasm. He finished with a +6 score to win overall and in B Grade by a street or at least a cul-desac. A Grade saw another runaway winner when Graham White (16) stepped up to the plate and gave the rest a damned good ‘donging’ with a +4 score. Of the great unwashed, it was John Carvill (17) who headed the field with +3, while John Keys (26) had +2 two while a swish of golfers - including Dennis Fuller, Peters Jones and Clowes and Philip Crossley - all scraped in with +1.
John Carvill was nearest the pin on the 7th and 13th, John Fisher the 12th while Ban Balfour played a glorious shot to pocket the pro pin rattle on the 18th. Josephine Krummenacher showed the other ladies a thing or two about playing par when she bolted home for the win in grand style. In second place was Petunia Glasscock, who was at least a well hit five iron behind. On Wednesday, when the Old and Frail golfers stumbled in for a game of stableford, it was Graeme Fergus (21) who scooped the pool with a massive 44 points. Jeff Marsh (21), who sneaked out his office for a day , was in second place with 42. Next Saturday is a big day as the annual general meeting will be held at 7.30am before play and this will be followed by the presentation of trophies to all those who were victorious in 2015.
OUTER East Eagles Under 16s Dowling Shield and Under 18s East Metro Girls have both secured spots in the Cricket Victoria State Championships grand final. The past two weeks has been filled with the crack of bat on ball across Victoria as 16 Regions from all corners of the state have competed to be the State Champions. Both boys and girls participated in three age groups, Under 14s, Under 16s and Under18s, playing a minimum of five games across the week on Premier through to club grounds. In more recent times, the likes of Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Aaron Finch, Meg Lanning, Jess Cameron and Julie Hunter have come through the pathway to represent Australia at the highest level. Throughout the respective competitions, it is expected to see the next generation of Victorian Bushrangers and VicSpirit who will come through the ranks to represent the state. After months of training and trials, the Championships are the culmination of many hour of tireless hard work, not only from the representatives, but also from the many coaches, administrators, scorers, umpires, officials and parents to reach this point. The Outer East Eagles have come through this year with great results, Under 18s Boys just missing in the live Quarter Finals, Under 16s and Under 14s girls both finishing fifth,
The Under 16s representative squad has secured a spot in the decider. 149307 nine wickets lost, three runs off two balls. The last ball wasn’t needed as Liam Dunning took to the bowler, sending the ball back over his head and running three with partner Nicholas McDonald. All players have contributed across the carnival and should feel very proud. The Under 18s East Metro girls is a combined team with the Inner East who play on the MCG, 7 February, game begins at 8am and entry is free. They also take on Country favourite Mallee Murray Heat, Brendan Walsh, from Ringwood Cricket Club is assistant coach along with Tim Reid from Box Hill CC and Rebecca Carter, who herself has paved her crick-
Under 14s Boys losing two very close matches. However, the take-aways have been enormous. And now to our two finalists, Under 16s ‘Dowling Shield’ boys who play Sunday, 31 January, at Geelong Cricket Ground taking on the undefeated Northern Rivers (Bendigo/Shepparton area) coached by Brendan Walsh, Jake Wigney and Jim Ahon who have led the boys professionally always with the philosophy that this competition is about making better cricketers and providing the players with the processes to be successful, which has clearly paid dividends. The semi-final at Yarra Valley Grammar came down to
et career through the pathways for the Inner East Emus. Maddie Wright showed her experience with both bat (84no and 73no) and ball (best 2/8) through this carnival, captaining the girls strategically and maturely. They played some high quality cricket across every game. The youngest member of the group, Tess Flintoff, who has also just returned from Brisbane captaining the 12 & Under School Girls team to a silver medal in the national competition, was elevated to the Under 18s. She batted in the top order confidently and contributed in each game.

Motoring Schools benefit from safety road signs
The toppled digger was pulled back on its tracks about 11.10am. 149272
Pictures: JESSE GRAHAM
Slip-slidin’ away By JESSE GRAHAM AN EXCAVATOR was looking worse-for-wear after slipping off the side of a truck on Friday morning in Healesville. About 10am on Friday 22 January, the excavator was being driven onto the back of a truck on Mt Riddell Road in Healesville, when it slipped off the wet surface. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers were called out to the scene shortly before 11am and the road briefly closed to traffic while the excavator was pulled back onto its tracks. Leading Senior Constable Chad Bullock said the wet surface on the back of the truck, with wet clay on the tread of the excavator, made it hard for the driver to manoeuvre the machine. “He was manoeuvring it slightly to get it on, and it just managed to slide off - maybe because of the camber of the road ... and dropped onto its side,” he said. “Everyone’s fine, nobody’s injured. “We’ll put it down to wet weather.” A towing company managed to get the machinery upright about 11.10am, looking bent in places, but overall intact. Healesville and the Yarra Valley were hit by rain earlier in the day, with more rain and potential thunderstorms in the evening.

THE Victorian Government has delivered on its commitment to improve road safety around three south-east Melbourne primary schools, with new electronic school speed signs being switched on for the first time this week. Sixteen new electronic signs have been installed at Mount Dandenong Primary School, The Patch Primary School and Selby Primary School and will flash 40kmh during school speed zone times from 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm. Mount Dandenong Primary School will receive a new school speed zone on the Tourist Road with four electronic signs to be operational during the school speed zone times - reducing the existing 60kmh speed limit to 40kmh. The Patch Primary School has many families that access the school via an entrance on The Patch Road, which is a 60kmh road that is not part of a timed school speed zone. From day one of the new school year, this section of road will be reduced to 40kmh during the school zone times with four flashing signs in operation. Four existing static school speed signs on Kallista-Emerald Road will be upgraded to electronic signs. Selby Primary School will also have four new electronic signs displaying the school speed zone on Belgrave-Gembrook Road from next week. Monbulk MP James Merlino said it was a great outcome. “We’ve made the roads around schools in Monbulk safer so that our kids come home safe and sound at the end of every school day,” Mr Merlino said. “The Andrews Labor Government is committed to ensuring the safety of local children at Mount Dandenong Primary, Patch Primary and Selby Primary. “We’re replacing existing static signs with flashing signs but we’ve also expanded and introduced new school zones where appropriate across these locations.” Electronic speed limit signs significantly increase driver awareness to lower speeds and prompts them to take extra care. “When school children are using footpaths close to the road, it’s important we lower the speeds during the school zone times,” he said.
