ARE you a potential member of an Emerald Camera Club? A group of camera enthusiasts believes there are enough interested shutterbugs in the region to warrant starting a club in the area. But first, they will be holding a meeting on Thursday, 12 May, to determine if this is the case. They will be meeting at 7.30pm at Emerald U3A House, 4022 Main Street, Emerald. All are welcome.

SHADOW Minister for Emergency Services and member for Gembrook Brad Battin has slammed the State Budget for a lack of funding for SES units. “As far as I’ve seen, there is zero funding for any SES in the capital funding. “The SES is a statutory authority like the CFA and it is vital government works with that statutory body to give them the correct funding to ensure the safety of the volunteers at these stations,” he said. Mr Battin said the poor condition of the Emerald SES unit’s shed was evidence that there needed to be more funding for SES units everywhere. “There are SES units all over the state and there are many that need money but there’s not many that turn out 1000 times a year and this is a big issue here,” he said. Emerald SES is one of the busiest units in the state and has been waiting on funding for an upgrade for their facilities for three years. Ben Owen from Emerald SES said he was disappointed another State Budget had gone by without any funding to upgrade their outdated unit shed. “Prior to last state election the last government pledged funding for new station but we have seen no funding with this government,” he said. “We have been operating out of this shed for over 30 years with one or two little attachments to fit a new truck but it is very outdated and very restricted for space. “Members have to carry their uniforms in their cars because we have no space to hang them on the walls, we’ve got a portable toilet, no showering facilities, no heating. "It is just a shed and it’s not big enough for trucks and vehicles for

us to do what we need to do.” Emerald SES has been forced to share space with the Cockatoo CFA for one of their rescue trucks because they don’t have the space to store it. “We are very lucky the CFA were able to assist us but it just proves our shed does not meet our needs,” he said. The local CFA also donates money brought in through their op-shop to help Emerald SES with purchasing new uniforms and safety equipment. “We’ve got a local CFA who gives their op-shop money to us because the CFA decided we needed the money and were more desperate for it,” Mr Owen said. “We have to buy our own gloves and glasses, these things aren’t provided by the state.” While Emerald SES are based in the Gembrook electorate, Mr Owen said they serviced roughly 80 per cent of the Monbulk electorate, the seat of deputy premier James Merlino. “I’ll be continuing to push for this funding,” Mr Battin said. “We have one petition going already and we are starting up another one to get more of the community involved, not just in our electorate but we’ll be calling on James Merlino’s electorate as well because the SES services his electorate.” “If you can’t train people properly, how can you expect them to work properly at their job? That’s going to have a negative impact on the community. “Now it’s up to Daniel Andrews and James Merlino to fund the funding for a station like this,” he said. Current State Minister for Emergency Services Jane Garrett has been contacted for comment.

Rain no bar to race MOTHER Nature couldn’t stop the nearly 3000 runners who turned out to see whether they could beat Puffing Billy in a race through the Dandenong Ranges on Sunday 1 May. The 35th Puffing Billy Great Train Race, over a distance of 13.5km, proved to be another challenge this year. Local resident Craig Appleby from Cockatoo crossed the line to win the event in 43.39s. Appleby won the race in 2014 and came second last year. He said he was keen to taste victory again. “I really enjoyed competing in the Great Train Race and appreciated the support from the local community for this event,” he said.

“I will continue to run in the Great Train Race until I can no longer run.” The first female to cross the line was Tarli Bird from Echuca who finished in 49.04s. This is the second year running she has been the female winner. Meanwhile, Puffing Billy crossed the line in 56.20s, which was almost five minutes slower than last year. The slower time was possibly due to the wet weather conditions. Through the event, the Puffing Billy Preservation Society successfully raised around $95,000. The funds will go towards completing the museum at Menzies Creek. A full list of winners is available on www.puffingbilly.com.au.

SES faces up to wind By JESSE GRAHAM IT WAS a busy weekend for Emerald SES, with strong winds knocking trees down and taking down power lines in the hills. Emerald SES controller Ben Owen said the unit was called out at 3.45am for its first request for assistance on Sunday 1 May, with about three crews

on the road all day, helping to clear storm damage. Mr Owen said that trees came down over power lines, roads and driveways during the storm, with the unit receiving more than 40 call-outs over the day. “Most of our requests for assistance were for trees down - trees down on power lines or on roads,” he said.

“We were lucky this time - we had a very mild amount of building damage.” He said that power remains out in areas, including Cockatoo’s main street, and that the unit was preparing for more strong winds on Tuesday 3 May. “The complex thing about tomorrow (Tuesday) is with our volunteer

work team, most people are back at work,” he said. “Sunday was ideal, in some context, because some people were home and able to respond.” Mr Owen said the SES experienced two to three large storms in the year, and that the year had been largely quiet before the storm hit overnight on Saturday.

Dragged under car downhill By JESSE GRAHAM A FERNTREE Gully man was airlifted to hospital on the weekend after being caught under an out-ofcontrol car on a rural property in Cockatoo. At 4.45pm on Sunday 1 May, the 30-year-old man was helping a friend at the Cockatoo property to tow a bogged car on a steep hill, when the towing rope snapped. Emerald police Senior Constable Craig Harvey said the car slid down the hill, which was about 100 metres long, and the man tried to climb out of the car. “He got caught in the car door, went under the car, got dragged down the bottom and came to rest in thick bushland at the bottom of the hill,” he said. Emerald police, SES and paramedics were joined by CFA crews from Cockatoo, Pakenham and Monbulk, as well as Dandenong’s high angle rescue team, to rescue the man. “He had to be carried out by hand,” Sen Const Harvey said. Emerald SES controller Ben Owen said the man was carried by emergency services crews to a waiting helicopter, and he was flown to The Alfred hospital. Sen Const Harvey said the man had non-life threatening injuries, but was suspected to have a punctured lung.

A BELGRAVE woman had an early morning fright on Monday 2 May, after waking to find a thief in her bedroom, scaring them off. Belgrave Police Sergeant Mick Hall said that at 4.20am, a 45-yearold woman woke to find a thief in her room, stealing jewellery and other items. Sgt Hall said the woman screamed, and the thief, believed to be a man, threw an item at the woman before fleeing - leaving behind his bag and the items he was trying to steal. He said the man was believed to have entered through an unlocked door, and ran out of the front door before driving away. “A suspect has been nominated,” Sgt Hall said. “We are looking for anyone who heard something.” Anyone who may have witnessed the man fleeing, or the vehicle he got into, or who has any information, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

POLICE are seeking the help of the public to recover a stolen Subaru wagon, which was taken from a Silvan property over the weekend. On Saturday 30 April, a house in Queens Road, Silvan, was broken into, where keys for a white Subaru wagon were stolen - as well as the car they belonged to. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Melanie Woods said the thief might have been disturbed, but the car appears to have been targeted by the thief. Anyone with information, or who may have seen any suspicious behaviour, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Honouring all Anzacs desk Tony Smith MP

Federal Member for Casey

OVER the past fortnight, our community has come together to remember, reflect and revere the Anzacs of the First World War, and all who have followed proudly in their footsteps in Australia’s subsequent conflicts. We did so at special school Anzac services, at community pre-Anzac Day services, and in huge numbers on Anzac Day itself where we looked back a century. Later in the year, we will have the chance to focus on the feats of the Vietnam veterans half a century ago. Vietnam Veterans Day on 18 August will mark 50 years since the battle of Long Tan. While the Vietnam conflict lasted many years, the battle of Long Tan epitomised the character and courage of those serving our nation. In a rubber plantation about 5km east of the Nui Dat base, Australian soldiers of D Company 6RAR struck a large company of Vietcong while on a patrol of the area. In heavy rain, just over 100 Australian soldiers turned away more than 2500 Vietcong, all the time risking being overrun and running out of ammunition. It is a battle worthy of pride of place

in Australian history, a battle which embodied the guts and determination of the original Diggers. They fought against the odds in a country and terrain unfamiliar to them. In all the battles of the Vietnam War, our Diggers expected to face the fury of their foes. But what they didn’t expect to face was condemnation from large numbers of fellow Australians on their return home. It wasn’t just the abuse they received from some that hurt. The quiet indifference of many other Australians to their service cut deep as well. Those who served in Vietnam were the first generation of Australian servicemen not to receive the grateful thanks of our nation. Yes, it was an unpopular war, but it does not matter whether the conflict is one of consensus or controversy. The decision to enter into combat was not made by them, but by the government of the day. Fifty years on we must resolve never to treat returned service men and women in that way again. In August, it will be a time to again say thank you and it will also be a wonderful opportunity to tell their individual stories of service. On Anzac Day, I was pleased to announce a grant to the Mount Evelyn RSL to produce a book on Vietnam Veterans of the Yarra Valley, which will allow our local community to do just that.

Ms Rees said she felt inspired. “I went for a drive in the local ranges over the weekend, seeking early autumn colours which are coming through beautifully and should be even more stunning over the next few weeks. This was shot with my DSLR camera with a 24105mm lens, ISO 400, F4 at 1/250th of a second”. Ms Rees said she hoped to inspire others to get outside and enjoy the beautiful parks and gardens in the Dandenong Ranges.

Condemned to rebuild By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Ranges Council may have a new, fully-refurbished $28 million office by 2020, with councillors endorsing the first stages of a “complete redevelopment” at a recent meeting. On Tuesday 26 April, Yarra Ranges councillors voted to endorse a complete redevelopment of the council’s Anderson Street offices, which are currently in a state of disrepair. The councillors also voted to approve funding and borrowing to undertake the complete redevelopment, which would see the offices completely refurbished, with another two-level building constructed and old portable buildings removed. In a media tour of the council offices before the council meeting, project director Scott Hodges showed examples of the building in a state of disrepair, with water damage, out-dated systems and asbestos sheeting - which, after termite damage in recent years, saved CEO Glenn Patterson from falling through the floor of his office. “You have a three-stage sub-floor, which is one, two, then your timber floorboards, then asbestos tiles on top - all of that had been eaten below,” Mr Hodges said. “Luckily, that gave the integrity that he didn’t fall through his floor.” He said the office buildings did not have safety switches, or temperature control from hot water taps, meaning employees were at risk of electrocution or scalding, and that steel beams supporting the structure had not been fire-protected. “If they melt, the whole house of cards falls down,” he said. The problem that the council faces is that a single repair triggers a domino-effect of urgent works across the whole building. “We don’t have safety switches, we can’t add to our boards - they are out of date, they have asbestos, they have insufficient capacity to support any upgrade,” he said. “Therefore, if you replace the electrics, or if you’re trying to replace the air-conditioning which is well past its use-by date - you would need to upgrade your electrical boards. “If you upgrade your electrical boards, you

Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan looks at loose wires in an underground area of the council building, where air for the air-conditioning Picture: JESSE GRAHAM system is drawn in. 153408 also need to do your fire systems ... so you start to get this percentage trigger, that pushes us over the 25 or 50 per cent in the building code, which means you’ve got to upgrade the full building.” Mr Hodges said that council was required to make their buildings compliant, and that the minimum cost of getting the current building up to scratch was $6.5 million - before GST. But Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan said that would be a “band-aid” solution, with the cost of the full $28 million rebuild to be faced by council again in coming years.

A feasibility study was green-lit by council in August last year, with an estimated cost of $420,000 - the final document cost council $117,000, with the remainder of the money to be used on the rest of the project. Mr Hodges said that, if approved, the council aimed to have the project finished by 2020, moving staff around as the building was gutted and refurbished in stages. Addressing concerns about the cost of the refurbishment, Mr Hodges said the works would be “modest and humble,” and the resulting building

would last for the coming 60 years. “It’s never going to be a good time to bring this up, ever ... we’re just going to have to bite the bullet,” Cr Callanan said. At the meeting, Cr Callanan moved an alternate recommendation, which will see the feasibility study released to the public on the council’s website, and at its offices and community link offices. Reports will be presented to the council for town planning in early 2017, with the project set to go to tender in late 2017.

One of the pitfalls of driving By JESSE GRAHAM IF YOU think you’re having a bad day, spare a thought for this poor driver, who flipped their ute in Emerald on Tuesday morning 26 April. Mail photographer Greg Carrick spotted the flipped car on Beaconsfield-Emerald Road.

He said the vehicle pulled off of the road, dropped a wheel into a drainage pit, and flipped at low speed. Mr Carrick said the driver received a minor head injury in the crash, but insisted he was fine. “This was just a bad day,” the driver said.

IT AFFECTS us all. A bipartisan Senate Inquiry report into marine plastic pollution was released on Wednesday, 20 April. This is relevant to all Australians (including Dandenong Ranges residents) because the Senate Inquiry confirmed it is a very serious situation including a ‘looming health crisis’ from contamination of seafood. Australians for Refunds on Cans and Bottles (based in Clematis) welcomes the senate committee's call for all states to have container deposit schemes by 2020; banning plastic bags and an immediate ban on microbeads. This report is a wake-up call for the Victorian Government. It can either do nothing, which will please the big drink companies, or it can help fix this problem and give Victoria a container deposit system. Peter Cook, Clematis.

Well, we tried EMERALD residents may recall that some five years ago, a petition signed by about 400 people was presented to Cardinia Shire Council, calling for additional retirement facilities in Emerald. This need had been identified in the Cardinia Council’s ward plan for Emerald, which had been eventually finalised to general community satisfaction. A site, very close to the township, was put forward and negotiations between the shire’s planning section and local developers commenced. Needless to say, complications, objections and constant changes to the original concept mostly originated by our local public servants caused delay after delay. Plans had to be constantly re-drawn and other changes all meant extra time and money. Despite this, the developers persisted and, one gathers, a final design was approved by council. Because of green belt and other regulatory factors, the project was then put before the State Government for approval. The Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne MP, has, one hears, vetoed the project on account of the bushfire prone nature of the area. End of story? One gathers the developers have given up on the five-year battle on our behalf and who could blame them? To those residents who signed the petition, to the community groups and local traders who helped to distribute it, one can only say, well, we tried. But in the end, as is often the case, our elected representatives and the bureaucrats managed to stuff it up as usual. John Dudley, Emerald.

One for the mothers MOTHERS’ Day is typically a day when mothers are treated with love and respect but, sadly, not all mums. Mother pigs in body-hugging metal crates are forced to churn out litter after litter, yet never permitted to touch or nurture their babies. Dairy cow mothers are forced to give birth each year, only to have their beloved babies torn from their side and killed within days of birth. Chicken mothers aren’t even permitted to see their beautiful babies, which is, perhaps, just as well. How would they feel seeing their adorable boy chicks minced up alive, their girls having their tiny beaks agonisingly severed with red hot blades and those raised for meat crippled and in pain when only weeks old? Isn’t it time for all mothers to take a stand against this heartless and unjustifiable abuse of their non-human counterparts? Ending this cruel exploitation is as easy as refusing to support these ruthless industries with our consumer dollars. Jenny Moxham, Monbulk.

Who comes first?

THE CFA is being torn apart and James Merlino (Victorian Deputy Premier and Member for Monbulk) is sitting silently on his backside. Have you been gagged again, James? Surely you are not intimated by (Victorian Premier) Daniel Andrews? You are the local member for an area that covers a bushfire zone. Have you forgotten that your loyalty is owed to the people who reside in your electorate? Who comes first Jimmy, the CFA and the safety of your constituents, or the Premier’s mates?

Exhibition stage for historic hotel redevelopment By PETER DOUGLAS THE Burnham Beeches redevelopment has now reached exhibition stage, thanks largely to developers scrapping plans for 80 villas to be constructed on the site. At Yarra Ranges Council’s meeting on Tuesday 26 April, council passed a revised planning scheme amendment, which will enable celebrity chef Shannon Bennett and co-developer Adam Garrison the chance to reach stage two of their redevelopment plans. This includes the refurbishment of the much-loved, historic mansion. The redevelopment has come under close scrutiny from various community groups and nearby residents, most notably over the original proposal which included building villas. The villas were to be sold as investment properties to raise funds for the overall development. However, council unanimously rejected that proposal in August last year. In supporting the revised proposal, Mr Garrison said he and Mr Bennett wanted to see the project flourish. “We’ve worked very hard to try and rejig our proposal,” he said. “As you’d be aware, the property has been vacant and derelict for over 25 years ... it will not work to renovate the building as a hotel unless there are other activities. “One cafe cannot support the operation.” Co-developer Mr Bennett acknowledged there were issues to be addressed during the exhibition stage. “With such an exciting development, there’s always going to be issues, we’re here to work through it,” he said. “It’s an exciting development to come because there’s nothing like this in Victoria. “This building deserves to be re-

These include concerns about traffic management, parking, caps on patrons, and potential risks during high-

fire danger days. Speaking on behalf of various groups, including the Save the Dandenongs League, Betty Marsden said much work lay ahead. “We think this is a better application than the last one, we do feel it’s a better development,” she said. “We’re not happy with the removal of caps on number of patrons ... we feel that it’s too open-ended. “We haven’t had information about the traffic, there are numerous things (to which) we don’t know the answer. “Parking out in Sherbrooke Road, it’s been absolute chaos there on a few occasions.” Burnham Beeches Preservation

Group secretary Kathryn Nauta said the potential impact on locals was huge. “There are concerns about possible traffic gridlock in Sherbrooke Road, as well as fire safety issues and many other questions,” she said. “There’s broad support for the visionary makeover of the site, but if the developers are genuine about preserving its history and heritage, and taking local people forward with them, then they need to start talking to us.” Meanwhile, Cr Noel Cliff said the exhibition stage now presented the chance to get this redevelopment moving in the right direction. “If we do not do something about it, one day we’re going to be told it’s gone

too far and it’s got to be bulldozed,” he said. “We are not approving tonight ... we’re not giving any permits tonight ... it’s going up for exhibition. “We can start to assess what the problems are with parking, which are gigantic ... there are issues, whether they’re tied to Burnham Beeches, or tied to next door, or a combination ... it’s a chance to hear from the residents.” This sentiment won support from Cr Len Cox, who said the present proposal was streets ahead in terms of previous proposals. “I can remember at least four developers previous to the current owners and they (their proposals) weren’t acceptable,” he said.

War history display funds DANDENONG Ranges residents will soon have another space in which they can show their support for Australia’s veterans. A wartime memorabilia display is set for construction after Dandenong Ranges RSL received $2940 to help commemorate the sacrifice of veterans. Monbulk MP James Merlino was on hand to make the announcement on Friday, 22 May. Mr Merlino said Australia’s servicemen and women deserved what would be a fitting tribute. “The Monbulk electorate has a proud wartime history and it’s important we give our veterans that did us proud the fitting support and tribute they deserve,” he said. Pictured is president of the Dandenong Ranges RSL, Bob Richards, with Mr Merlino. 153281

Students all honour a Rat By PETER DOUGLAS BELGRAVE Heights Christian School honoured the Anzacs on Wednesday, 27 April, through a special visit from Rat of Tobruk, Jack Caple. The Rats of Tobruk nickname was bestowed on soldiers who fought in the siege of Tobruk during World War II. Mr Caple is the great-grandfather of a student at the school, Emily Chudasko, who is this year in Prep. For the special occasion, about 850 attended the whole-school event, which included students,

teachers, parents and community members. Mr Caple spoke to the guests about his experiences in the war, as well as bringing in some mementoes such as his helmet, water canteen and food container. Principal Andy Callow said he was delighted with how many students wanted to meet Mr Caple after the service and thank him for attending. Service organiser Mrs Joy McGrath ensured the service was dignified, succinct and moving, with her efforts earning special praise from the school.

LUXURY ON FOUR ACRES SOPHISTICATED elegance from the moment you enter this stunning architecturally designed Seidler residence defined by professionally landscaped grounds and sheer quality that takes this property to a level of its own. Privately set on over four acres in picturesque Olinda/Mt Dandenong and bathed in sunlight, the grounds offer elevation yet rolling open lawn areas sweeping down to the Olinda Creek bordering the property and home to wallabies, lyre birds and deer. Entering the main residence, the solid chestnut timber floors lead into the imposing main living room and striking high ceilings with double glazed picture windows framing garden views and inviting the light in.

A minimal decor draws the eye outside to the stone paving and glass balustrading, and the infinity pool and casual decking surround. A designer kitchen has sleek black stone bench tops and Blum fitted cabinetry detailing the Gaggenau and Miele appliances. The butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantry conceals the workings and clever floor plan design ensures the hub of the home is central to the east and west wing. Wired for sound throughout and decorated for true movie indulgence, the cinema room will please any member of the family with full screen visual and smart wiring technology, even independent refrigerated cooling for comfort control.

There are three double bedrooms and a sitting room, a stylish guest bathroom with spa, and internal access from the three-car garage. The high ceilings and neutral colour palette combines with sumptuous carpets in the bedrooms of the west wing accentuating the quality fixtures and fittings throughout. A Chemise Philippe open fire/slow combustion with sandstone surround is the centrepiece of the formal lounge ideally placed as a parents retreat in the east wing and which leads to an impressive home office walled in shelving.

Kids and cops the winner By JESSE GRAHAM AND VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS EDUCATION has come out as the big winner in the new state budget. The 2016-17 budget outlined a $13.3 million investment in the region’s schools and an undisclosed amount of cash for a new technical school at the closed Swinburne Lilydale campus. The continued development and upgrades to Emerald Secondary College will see another $1.2 million invested in the school over 2016-17 financial year. Monbulk College will also see existing upgrades continue to the coming fiscal year with another $1.2 million invested in the school. The Basin Primary School will also have buildings modernised and new facilities added to accommodate The Basin Community House. The primary school will receive $55,000 over 2016-17 and a further $1.5 million until the expected finish of the project in 2018-19. In the Yarra Valley, $1.7 million in funding will go towards works at the Yarra Junction Primary School following a pre-election announcement by Labor of $2 million. Sewer growth in Sherbrooke will receive $3 million, delivering much needed waste management services to properties in the Dandenongs. The upgrade to the Angliss Hospital intensive care and short stay units has been allocated $2.8 million towards the $20 million project. Healesville Hospital’s redevelopment, mean-

Principal Jodie Doble with State MP James Merlino and Paul Woods from Stone and Wood Consultants discussed the development of a new integration center at the school, which Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS will be funded under the coming Budget. 146336 while, will receive $4.3 million for continuing works ahead of its completion in 2017. Warburton police will get a new home as part of the $9.7 million being spent on the state’s police stations. The Yarra Ranges will also receive some of the $33.4 million for weed and pest management

across the state as well as money to protect the Leadbeater’s possum and helmeted honeyeater. Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas said the technical schools initiative “will enable thousands of our young people to receive a modern technical element to their secondary education”. “Working with cutting edge technology,

they’ll gain industry experience while pursuing their interests and developing their talents.” The Government has also set a goal of 2.49 million annual visitors to Melbourne and Werribee Zoos, along with Healesville Sanctuary - an increase of 100,000 visitors from last year’s goal. Money was not allocated in the budget for a new CFA station for Healesville, which Opposition leader Matthew Guy and Eildon MP Cindy McLeish recently lobbied the government for. Family violence services will be improved, with the government committing $572 million to the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Family Violence. Mr Pallas said that extra housing, more family counselling services and prevention efforts would give women and children fleeing abusive relationships more options. “While these and other measures in the package will support current victims of family violence, our ultimate task is to stop it from happening in the first place,” he said. Small businesses will pay less tax, with the government increasing the payroll tax threshold from $550,000 to $650,000 over the coming four years. Level crossing removals will continue, with $636 million allocated over the coming financial year, though a timeline has yet to be announced for the Lilydale level crossing removal.

See ‘Purple Rain’

Giveaway to see Streep as Florence

Cartoon by Danny Zemp. 153386

CAMEO cinemas in Belgrave will be hosting a one night only screening of ‘Purple Rain’ in honour of the passing of musical icon Prince. The 1984 film showcases Prince in the lead role of the story of a young rock musician known as ‘The Kid’ as he uses his music to escape from his troublesome family life. The Kid spends all his time performing at the First Avenue nightclub with his band, The Revolution but when hell breaks loose both at the club and at home, The Kid discovers his only refuge is in music. It is through this escapism that The Kid becomes inspired to write the film’s famous title song, ‘Purple Rain.’ The Cameo Theatre will bring Prince to the silver screen on Friday 6 May in a special screening for fans of the late musician to party like it’s 1999. Expect tears, expect dancing and most of all expect the ground-breaking music Prince was known for. Tickets for this special event are available to be purchased from www.cameocinemas.com.au or for more details call 9754 7844.

Bowling club awards night LAST week, Monbulk Bowling Club held its annual presentation night. Members and friends enjoyed a very delicious dinner in the bistro. They then acknowledged the winners of the club championships and the successful bowling side that played in the Saturday Division 7 competition. Monbulk had six sides in the metropolitan pennant competitions this season. Five of them reached the finals, which was a great result, though only one side came away with a grand final pennant. Victorian Deputy Premier, James Merlino, was on hand to

present medals to the Pennant winners and to also present the club with a new Victorian flag. Mr Merlino spoke briefly about his high regard for the Monbulk area. Winners of the Monbulk Bowling Club Championship events were: Lorna Murphy and Jenny Holmes (Ladies Pairs); Bruce Cameron and Peter Coulson (Men’s Pairs); Doreen Edwards and Peter Koomen (Mixed Pairs); Karen Rice (Open Minor Championship); Richard Cookson (Open President’s Handicap); Eric Markham (Open Proportional Handicap); Karen Rice (Encouragement Award); Alan Hamilton (Club-

man of the Year); Jenny Holmes (Ladies Singles Champion); Andrew Bell (Men’s Singles Champion). Meanwhile, Casey MP Tony Smith also visited the club recently. Mr Smith was responding to a request from the club for a new Australian flag. And he didn’t let the club down. Mr Smith spoke briefly to the crowd of more than 60 bowlers about his previous visits to the bowling club. He promised to come more often in the future. With a new flag, the club will look fresher and brighter than ever for the coming season.

The resurgent junior club is looking forward to a prosperous season. 153487

THERE is a strong, positive vibe around the Belgrave Junior Football Club. In 2015, the Belgrave Junior Football Club only had one team competing, the under 10s. They were a young group and worked hard all year to represent the club. This year Belgrave has recruited well and managed three teams; due to the hard work and dedication from the players, coaches, parents and committee. The club has an under 10s

team coached by Mick McGuinness (last year’s coach), Under 12s coached by Glenn Underwood and they proudly have their first-ever girls team, coached by Andy McGuinness. The club has pushed hard to get a girls' team because they want to empower girls in the community and help develop self-esteem, confidence and skills in these girls and, of course, want them to have fun. On Wednesday, 13 April, the club had its jumper presentation night, with the clubrooms full of new and old families.

The club also has its Auskick kids which participate on Friday nights from 5.30pm6.30pm, where all kids from age five and upwards are welcome to join. Kids and families being a part of a local sporting club is such a positive thing. They make life-long friendships, gain confidence, develop self-esteem, as well as being active through training and games. Any children who want to join, email belgravejfc@yahoo. com.au.

Woori shows footy prowess ROUND 3 saw some blustery and damp conditions, with some surprise results. Olinda well and truly accounted for Wandin. Grand final blues maybe? Mount Evelyn had a win but with really poor kicking efficiency. Woori Yallock, have they become early flag favourites? Seville in a tight one over Kinglake, while Yarra Glen got over their bogey in a good tussle, and Yea has the tiger started to roar? DIVISION 1 SENIORS FOOTBALL WARBURTON MILLGROVE 13.14(92) D BELGRAVE 7.15 (57)

This game has given Warburton breathing space over Belgrave and Emerald. Warburton started well, but could have had a much bigger lead if they weren’t wasteful in front of goal. Still, a handy 12-point lead at quarter time. Belgrave failed to worry the goal umpires much in the second, and the lead increased to 25. Warburton came out in the third and put the result to rest by kicking 5.3 to 0.5. Scott Muir was again a formidable target up forward. Belgrave need to regroup as they come up against the Hawks next week. Warburton Millgrove Best: S. Andueza, S. Muir (7 goals), L. Barnard (2 goals), P. Sharp, T. McKail, T. Marr Belgrave Best: J. Pearce, T. Stubley (2 goals), R. Matthews (1 goal), M. Johnson, C. Power (1 goal), J. Brown (1 goal) MOUNT EVELYN 9.21(75) D EMERALD 9.14(68)

Mount Evelyn managed to sneak a win on Saturday. Poor kicking is poor football and both teams seem to have got the yips. The Rovers led by 22 points at quarter time, but it should have been a lot more, 10 scoring shots to three means you should make the opposition pay. The second quarter saw it all tied up at the main break. Emerald showed what it can do if you kick straight - 6.1 to 2.3. Mount Evelyn was still wayward in the third, kicking 2.7 to 2.3 and had a slender lead of four points. Both sides were scrappy in the last and it was a battle of the fittest. The difference was 2.4 to 1.7 for Emerald. Goal-kicking practice during the week for both? Mount Evelyn Best: J. Fraser (1 goal), R. Cowan, L. Francis, T. Denham, K. Jones (1 goal), J. Thompson Emerald Best: C. Thomsen, D. Karacsonyi, M. Steer, D. Murray, C. Porter (2 goals), N. Jansen (2 goals) HEALESVILLE 13.10(88) D MONBULK 12.12(84)

Healesville had a handy win over Monbulk. It was far from impressive or convincing, but a win is a win. Monbulk outscored Healesville in the last half which should be a bit concerning as the faster running sides will make you pay. Healesville had a lead of 14 points at the main break, and increased that to 27 at three-quarter time. Monbulk kicked 5.6 to 2.1 in the last and should have made Healesville pay the consequences for poor defence, but they could not get the score on the board. Healesville Best: I. Vallejo, N. Mende (1 goal), L. Daly, S. Donkin, J. Shaw, P. MacFarlane (2 goals) Monbulk Best: C. Griffiths, J. Mohr (1 goal), D. McClelland, S. Williams (1 goal), J. Major, D. Ward (1 goal) OLINDA FERNY CREEK 14.13(97) D WANDIN 3.12(30)

Wandin were coming off a huge win over Emerald and Olinda a hard fought win over Monbulk. All I can say is ‘wow’. Consistency is a big thing if footy, and Wandin are not displaying any of that coming off an undefeated season last year. Olinda on the other hand set up their season nicely. Wandin was held to three goals for the day, which is rare. Indirect kicking again was the order of the day, but Olinda were more direct in the second, kicking 7.2 to 1.4 to take a commanding lead of 40 points into the main break. The stalwarts at Olinda would have been buoyed to see Blake Walter return to the Bloods and kicking handy five for the day. Olinda now share top spot with Woori while Wandin sits seventh and come up against Healesville next week. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: D. Wilson, R. Wilson (2 goals), K. Currie, L. Hill, B.

Woori Yallock share top spot with Olinda after a very convincing win over Upwey. Barry

McDonald has his boys ticking away nicely. Yet again a bit hit and miss in front of goals, but the conditions were a bit blustery, but with that being said it was a high-scoring game in comparison to some others over the weekend. Ben Monkhorst is proving to cause problems for opposition back men. Woori took a handy lead of 13 points into the first break and were never headed. Woori should have won by a lot more, but another solid performance all round. Woori Yallock are well drilled and full of running and between them and Olinda, should I declare it now? Are they grand final contenders? Bring on Round 6. Woori Yallock Best: K. Thompson (2 goals), B. Monkhorst (8 goals), S. Kennedy, J. Matthews (4 goals), J. Williams, M. Baxter (4 goals) Upwey-Tecoma Best: N. Waterman, S. Mitchell (4 goals), B. Sheppard, L. O’Brien, D. Waters (5 goals), J. Hackett DIVISION 2 SENIORS FOOTBALL YARRA JUNCTION 13.14 (92) D ALEXANDRA 11.18(84)

Yarra Junction came out and got the jump on Alexandra, kicking 4.7 to 2.2. They should have been further in front but sprayed it a bit in front of goals. Alexandra had a good second quarter, kicking 4.4 to 2.4 and reduced the lead to only five points at the major break. Alexandra let themselves down in the third by kicking 2.8 and by rights should have been in front, but still trailed by five points. Yarra Junction were more disciplined in the last, and kicked 4.1 to 3.4 and came away with a well-earned win. Yarra Junction Best: E. Wadsworth (1 goal), T. Hancock (2 goals), D. Cope (1 goal), D.

under the ring. Belgrave managed to claw back the deficit in the second, but were still six goals down. A big last quarter by Alice McKenna saw a good win to Warburton.

Kinglake travelled to Seville on Saturday and came up against a side like them that had not registered a win yet. Warburton came out inspired, kicking 3.8 to 2.1. The lead should have been more but not sure if this was skill or wind affected, a handy lead nonetheless into the second quarter. Kinglake kicked a bit wayward in the second, 1.5 to 2.1, which did not help reduce the Warburton lead. The lead did not change by much in the third, and it was just a hard battle for either side to really get hold of this game. Warburton, however, had done enough and came away with their first win for the season.

Mt Evelyn and Emerald were chasing their first win for the season. Mt Evelyn with the assistance of Sarah Graffen took a commanding 17-goal lead into the second. It was always going to be hard work for Emerald from here. Christa Vagg shot 12 goals in the third and helped put the result to bed. Mt Evelyn Best: Sarah Graffen (37 goals), Jessica Walker, Jessica Lowe Emerald Best: Megan Pearton (7 goals), Sally Rush, Rebecca Sayers HEALESVILLE 38 D MONBULK HAWKS 34

This game started off close and never really changed all day. Three lead changes kept everybody on their toes. Monbulk took a slim lead at the first break. A 10-goal to 8 second quarter saw Healesville steal back the lead at half time. A-10 goal quarter by Tahlia Northey helped Monbulk take a three-goal lead into the last. The defence of Healesville stood up in the last, and with Kylie Miller shooting 10 goals up the other end Healesville came away with a hard-fought four-goal win.

Seville notched up their first win for the season, beating a fighting Kinglake side. Dean Cecere and Josh Nixon were focal points up forward for their respective sides. Seville took a 12-point lead into the first. Both sides peppered the goals in the second, Kinglake kicked 5.4 to reduce the Seville lead to four points at the major break. Seville increased that lead out to 16 points at three-quarter time, and it looked like they were home comfortably. Kinglake rallied in the last and held Seville to 1.2 while they managed 3.2, but it was just not enough at the final siren. Seville Best: N. O’Keefe, T. Groen, D. Cecere (6 goals)

Mount Evelyn sits third on the ladder after a convincing win over Emerald. Emerald just had no answers to hold Mount Evelyn’s running brigade. Mount Evelyn had 11 goal kickers for the day and that in anyone’s language is hard to defend. A 4.5 to 0.0 for Mount Evelyn set up the day and they were never in danger. Mount Evelyn held Emerald goalless until the last, but Emerald battled on and celebrated their goals deservedly. MOUNT EVELYN BEST: T. BRILL (1 GOAL), D. NICHOLAS (1 GOAL), J. BEAMISH, L. INAPS, R. FARROW (1 GOAL) EMERALD BEST: R. HALL, B. PEPI, M. THOMAS, K. JORDANHILL, B. WOOD (1 GOAL), B. WILSON Upwey-Tecoma 18.18(126) d Woori Yallock-Powelltown 3.2(20)

Upwey share the top of the ladder with Wandin after a 106-point win over Woori Yallock-Powelltown. Upwey started off slowly, only kicking 3.3 to 1.0 in the first. They kicked into gear after that and kicked 3.7 in the 2nd to 0.1. A big third quarter, kicking 8.5 gave them a lead of 91 points into the last. Woori Yallock-Powelltown showed courage and continued to challenge and will take it up to Emerald next week. Upwey Tecoma Best: L. Hughes (3 goals), B. Raru, B. Watson, C. Stimac-Wuttke (1 goal), B. Mercer, N. Vandelaak (6 goals)

The rematch of the 2015 Grand Final did not disappoint. All tied up at 13 goals apiece and not an inch was given by either side. Olinda got a few turnovers in the second which gave them a two-goal lead at half-time. The tables were turned in the third, Mel Martinov and Tess Linkins both being strong under the ring shooting 12 and 11 goals respectively. Wandin managed to get a break in the last and came away with a hard fought eight-goal win.

Yarra Glen got away to a good start on Saturday. The wind certainly played a part in this game and made the conditions challenging for both sides. A score of 3.6 to 1.1 was a handy start and was wind assisted for Yarra Glen in the first. Powelltown took full advantage of it in the second, kicking 4.4 to 1.2 to take a small three-point lead in the third. It was all tied up after the third at 54 points apiece. The weather turned in the last and the wind dropped, so it was going to be a battle of skill in the last. Yarra Glen had all the running and kicked 5.2 to 2.5 to come away with a good win. Yarra Glen Best: C. Tait, L. Telford (3 goals), M. Ashton, B. Dewacht (3 goals), M. Gordon (1 goal), J. Smith Powelltown Best: Jonnie Walker (3 goals), T. Hallmark, J. Moore, G. Newing (2 goals), M. McArthur, Jason Walker (1 goal) Yea 24.13 (157) d Thornton Eildon 4.4 (28) Another battle of the towns was on show on Saturday and Yea did not disappoint their supporters. Ten goal-kickers for the day made it hard for Thornton to defend against as the scoreline shows. Yea kicked 5.5 to 1.3 in the first to have a handy 24-point lead. Yea continued to pepper the goals, kicking another five goals to one in the second. A nine-goal quarter in the third well and truly sewed it up for Yea, taking a huge lead of 114 points into the last. Yea did not take it easy in the last, kicking another five goals to two. Yea take on Powelltown next week. Yea need to make their mark by winning on the road. Yea Best: H. Jarvie (4 goals), J. Ivill, D. O’Dwyer (2 goals), P. Kiss (4 goals), M. Ivill (2 goals), A.

A battle for top of the table and it did not disappoint. Yarra Glen came out with an impressive 4.1 to 1.0 and looked like they had all the running. Wandin hit back in the second, kicking 4.3 to 0.1 taking a seven-point lead at half time. Yarra Glen had more of the ball in the third, but wasted shots in front of goal by playing individual football instead of team football. Was a six-point lead going to be enough? Wandin came out and showed what run and carry means, kicking 4.3 and keeping Yarra Glen scoreless. Bit of work on the track this week for the Yarra Glen boys to regroup. Wandin Best: J. Byrne (2 goals), R. Say, M. Sandfort, L. Whitchell, D. Hirst, A. Marsh (3 goals) Yarra Glen Best: J. Hull, L. Smith, J. Clare (3 goals), P. Moors, S. Duncan, B.

Clowes tops the list By DENNIS FULLER

The start of the 2km cross country race over the weekend. 153614 Mia Harris 8.32, James Davidson 8.35, Darcy Petrov 8.36, Katyn Russell 8.42, Zoe Freer 8.56 PB, Jake Russell 9.19 PB, Jayden Menzes 9.30, Erika Bedyn 9.31, Sarah Kerr 9.39, Laura Digregorio 9.40, Annabella Tyquin 9.46 PB, Abbey Bartlett 9.54 PB, Tahlia Murden 10.39 PB, Penelope Portlock 10.42, Cassandra Lennon 11.53. Last weekend, two members, Georgia Laven and Tayleb Willis, competed for the club and Victoria at the Australian Little Athletics Championships, held in Adelaide. Georgia was one of the stars of the championships, taking out gold in both the 400m and 800m, while Tayleb achieved some exceptional performances in the 80m hurdles and the 4x100m relay.

The club AGM is on Wednesday, 4 May from 7.30pm at the Morrison Reserve clubrooms. The club needs a big turnout of members to ensure the club continues to be well run, friendly and fun. Next week, the club is at Lillydale Lake from 8.45am. All welcome, gold coin entry. The Athletics Victoria members will be at Wandin Park for Round 2 of the XCR16 season. Entries close noon on Wednesday, 4 May. The club is running the canteen at this round and urgently need helpers from noon on Saturday. For more details, visit yarrarangesathletics.org.au.

EMERALD GOLF LAST Saturday at Emerald Golf Club, ex-servicemen were invited to pit their golfing skills against their peers. It turns out that Peter Clowes (16) had no golfing peers as he cruised to an easy win with 40 points to win the plaudits and the wooden cannon made from the wood of an old piano which was significantly made in 1916. Bobby Kennedy (20) came in next with 33 points followed by Peter Clarke (15) on 32 while Terry Bull (23) and Mike Banger (28) both managed 28. Of the civvies, it was left to captain Dean Shannon to star when his 35 points was too good for the mob. Dennis Fuller (15) came in next with 33 while Philip Crossley (18), Sepp Krummenacher (21) and Pete Glasscock (15) all managed 31 points.

Ross Martin was nearest the pin on the 4th and the 12th, John Carvill the 7th, Philip Crossley the 13th and Peter Glasscock pocketed the pro pin cash on the 18th. Wednesday’s Overly Floppy Golf (OFG) was a stableford event with the proviso that, on each par three, one putt must be performed with the opposite hand. Many furrowed brows and much language uncivil. In the end, it was Philip Crossley who starred with 38 points from Moss Fuller 36 and Mick Petrie 33 with the rest somewhere south of these numbers. The handicap pennant team travelled to Burnley to try to take some points while playing away. They did that in style and romped home for a great 5/3 win to put themselves in the early running for a finals berth. Next Saturday members compete for the May VGL Monthly Medal.

Motoring Sanders calling the shots By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Ranges Enduro champion Daniel Sanders was able to maintain his position at the top of the Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) despite injury. The 21-year-old, from Three Bridges, was competing in round five and six at Murray Bridge in South Australia on 23-24 April, when he injured his left ankle during Saturday’s fifth round. He managed to win the first sprint, with a time of 9min05.278, but unfortunately crashed in the second heat after he got his foot caught, resulting in an injured left ankle. “I’m not too sure what injury I have done, but my left leg is quite weak,” Sanders explained after the second sprint. “I can’t put too much pressure on it, so today will be all about damage limitation and bring home as many points for the championship as I can.” Sanders, who has been victorious in the opening four rounds of the 2016 AORC season, did exactly that and brought his KTM 300EXC machine home in fifth place with a total time of 1hr 05:27.964 overall and third in the E3 class. “The plan was to get through the day and score some solid points for the championship, which we have done,” said Sanders at the conclusion of the day. “It was lucky that I did pull a good lead in the first sprint which did kind of save the day. We’ll recover up for tomorrow and hopefully salvage some more points.” Round six on Sunday and once again it was all about ‘bringing home the bacon’ for the 2014 Under 19s champion. Riding through the pain, Sanders again finished in a solid fifth place outright, with a time of 42min 36.257, while in the E3 he finished second to Husqvarna’s Lachlan Stanford by 29.403 seconds. Sanders did, however, lose a bit of time in the first test in the morning after he hit the deck twice and also came off in the last test. “If I didn’t crash in the last test, I could have opened some guy’s eyes, but that’s racing,” Sanders said at the end of the day, “You have to take the good with the bad sometimes.” “Today, my foot was pretty sore. However, thankfully the track was a bit more flowed a bit more, which was better for me.”

Tough as nails - despite injury, Sanders marched on to score two fifth Picture: RUSSELL COLVIN Deus Images place finishes. 153650 The KTM factory rider did label the day as a “confident booster” as he was racing injured, and couldn’t really turn left as well as he could; it was good to get away with a top five finish and a second in the E3 class. “To get the results today in the condition, it has been a big confident boost for sure. We have a few months off now until the next two rounds in Victoria, so I’ll get back to full fitness and hopefully finish the championship off strong and try and win this championship for myself, the team and all the sponsors.”

“I have to give the 2016 ?KTM? Australia Off-Road Team a massive shout out, as once again they really do work super hard and supply me one of the best bikes out there - couldn’t do it without them.”? The AORC now heads to Hedley in Victoria on the second last weekend of July. Sanders carries a healthy 14-point advantage in the outright championship, while in the E3 class, Stanford has slashed his title lead to just four points.

Sanders tops the AORC outright championship heading into Hedley at the end of July with a 14-point margin and a four-point lead in the E3 class. Picture: RUSSELL COLVIN Deus Images
