Pride wins respect By JESSE GRAHAM THREE years on from the first Pride Cup match in Yarra Glen, Yarra Ranges AFL general manager Luke McCormick thinks attitudes towards the LGBTI community are shifting in players and spectators alike. Mr McCormick joined speakers including St Kilda Football Club CEO Matt Finnis, Yarra Glen footballer Jason Ball and Stand Up Events’ Angie Greene for a forum about addressing homophobia in sport on Wednesday 11 May. The meeting saw about 40 people representing senior football clubs from around the Yarra Ranges discuss the next steps for spreading the message of inclusion for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) community in sport. One of these steps, Mr McCormick said, was having discussions with club members with “old attitudes and ideals” - though he said an attitude change had already begun for club members and spectators. “Things are still happening - we’ve still got people doing the wrong thing and crossing the line, in relation to abuse and inappropriate comments, which is the thing that hurts people the most,” he said. “Realistically, the inappropriate comments really do hurt people and turn people away. “What’s happening is people are calling those people out, and that’s the change that’s already begun - in the past, people would just sit by and let those things happen.” He said that footy club changerooms across the Yarra Ranges would feature posters designed by the Yarra Ranges Council and the Rainbow Network with pictures from the Pride Cup, emblazoned with “We barrack for equality” and “We stand for equality”. On a national level, Mr McCormick said that St Kilda and the Sydney Swans would face off in an AFL pride match in August - a direct result of the Pride Cup in Yarra Glen. “It’s massive,” he said. “That game is off the back of our Pride Cup game, and they’re trying to basically spread the message we’ve begun in Yarra Ranges to an AFL round.” Council’s recreation inclusion officer Jacinda Erich said the forum’s speakers had a “broad spectrum of experiences” - giving those who had not been part of the discussions before
Mayor Jason Callanan and Luke McCormick with posters promoting LGBTI inclusion in sport 154479 “a solid foundation”. She said the Pride Cup, the posters and the discussions at the forum were part of educating people in the community about the experiences of LGBTI people in relation to sport, to generate change in the long-term. “I think that education and the long-term change happens more slowly, but you have to start somewhere with this stuff,” Ms Erich said. “I think Yarra Glen have been on the journey now for three years, and it certainly helped hav-
ing the momentum of that happening every year.” She said the message of acceptance and inclusion was spreading, with junior football and netball clubs featured at this year’s Pride Cup for the first time - and 11 organisations providing about $50,000 in kind. Both Mr McCormick and Ms Erich said they would have liked a better attendance at the forum from football teams, but Mr McCormick said he hoped the teams that were in attendance would help spread the word to other clubs, players, and spectators.

“The culture’s changing - people are calling others out, and we’re really hoping that those that were there on that night spread that message across the league,” he said. “Bystander behaviour is really important and trying to develop to build capacity in the community to have the courage to say - and it doesn’t have to be aggressive - ‘It’s not alright to say that around here’,” Ms Erich said. “You can kind-of say as a collective, ‘Our club doesn’t support that’, or ‘We don’t talk to each other like that around here’.”

Altitude shift for foster care By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S Jeremy Shub will abseil more than 100 metres on the weekend, climbing down 27 storeys to raise money for children in foster care. Mr Shub will be taking part in Anglicare Victoria’s Altitude Shift, an abseiling event to raise money for their foster care programs, on the last weekend of May. On Friday 27 and Saturday 28 May, participants will abseil down Melbourne’s St James Building, a total drop of 113 metres. Mr Shub, an Anglicare employee, entered the event with co-workers Damien Litchfield and Amanda Exley, and said he signed up for two reasons. “One, I think it’s a great cause,” he said. “I work with foster kids and I work with some workers who are supporting foster kids, and I work with parents who have foster kids - these kids have really hard lives, they’ve been bruised and damaged
by people around them ... and I would love them to be supported, and cared for, and nurtured, and able to grow and heal.” He said the other reason was that the climb sounded like an adventure. “I love abseiling, and I like to do things I haven’t done before,” he said. He said the money raised through the event would support children living in foster care, who “have been dealt a bad hand”, and could start conversations among families about becoming foster carers. “I’d love it if we could shine some light, and send some care and love to these young people,” Mr Shub said. Altitude Shift participants pay $150 to register for the event, and must fund-raise $850 to secure their spot in the abseil. For more information, visit www.altitudeshift. org.au - to donate to Mr Shub’s fund-raiser, search his name in the “sponsor a friend” section of the website.

Business runs by the (good) book By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S shoe repair shop has received one of the Rotary Club’s highest honours, being awarded for its ethical and moral standards by the club last month. Peter and Viviana from HeelsVille Shoe Repairs and Birkenstock Sales were awarded the Ron Goding Excellence Award from the Rotary Club of Healesville on 7 April. The award is presented each year to a business or organisation that the club considers to “adhere to the highest standards in business ethics and moral standards”. The award is named after the late Ron Goding, a charter member and past president of the club, who represented the high standards businesses are awarded for currently. Peter and Viviana received the award, a perpetual trophy and a painting by artist Denise Smith. Jamie Clemente, a grandson of Mr Goding, presented them with the award. Peter told the Mail that he and Viviana were “blown away” with the award.
“We just think it’s a reflection on what we’ve tried to do here, which is just be straight with people,” he said. “It’s very humbling,” Viviana said. Peter said the couple had come to town three and a half years ago, and, as Christians, had followed their faith here. “We just basically prayed and asked God to show us where he wanted us,” he said. Coming with $300 to their name, Peter and Viviana took to the building at the western end of town - and the townsfolk - immediately. “When we came to the town, we fell in love with it,” he said. “The people are contagious. “It was like putting your foot in a gumboot full of warm sago.” Since then, he said the shop had done a good trade in shoes and shoe repairs. “We’ve probably had two people in the whole time that have been unreasonable, but the majority of people in this town are just brilliant,” Peter said.

Three nabbed over stolen ute A HEALESVILLE man was set to face court yesterday, Monday 23 May, after allegedly stealing a ute and trying to evade police over the weekend. Shortly before 4pm on Sunday 22 May, police attempted to pull over a white ute being driven through Healesville by a 21-year-old Healesville man, accompanied by a 25-year-old Healesville man and a 24-year-old Coldstream woman. Healesville Sergeant Stewart Thomson said the ute had been stolen, and the driver “took off”, losing police around the Mount Riddell Road area. He said police conducted a search, before finding the ute on Monda Avenue - the driver then allegedly drove at police, before losing control of the car and crashing into a tree. All three occupants then tried to flee - two of the three were arrested on the spot, with the third found nearby an hour later. Sgt Thomson said the 21-year-old Healesville man was charged with theft of motor car, conduct endangering life, multiple counts of burglary and driving offences. He was remanded to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Monday 23 May. The 25-year-old Healesville man and the 24-year-old Coldstream woman were charged with theft of a motor vehicle and committing an indictable offence while on bail. Both were bailed to appear in court in November.

What it means to help out Animal
aid Mark Menze Animal Aid CEO
AS ANOTHER financial year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on all that we have achieved in 12 months as an animal welfare agency. Contrary to common perception, we are not just the local pound in Cold-
stream. Each and every day of the year we support people and animals in need that come through our doors. Animal Aid is not a small organisation; nor are we the biggest. In the last 12 months we have provided the highest level of care to 6,025 stray, lost, abandoned, seized or surrendered animals. As an open door shelter we never turn away an animal or person in need. We will do everything in our power to reunite an animal with its rightful owner or assist an animal to be ready
for adoption into a safe and loving home. We do this regardless of financial or space constraints that may exist at the time. We’re often asked how someone could surrender their pet. There are many reasons. The owner may be ill or elderly and can no longer care for their pet; the animal may be at risk from harm by another person; they may be relocating interstate or overseas, be homeless or have financial pressures, or the pet may have poor social behaviour.
Community Diary
Millgrove market WHEN there’s a fifth Sunday in the month, Millgrove springs to life with a fantastic community market organised by the Millgrove Residents’ Action Group. Stalls include plants and seedlings, arts and crafts, bric-a-brac, antiques, jams and chutneys and a sausage sizzle run by the local CFA with all proceeds going back into local community projects. The market, on Sunday, 29 May, runs from 8am to 2pm in the middle of town. To book a stall or for more information, phone Maureen on 5966 5806.
Our role is not to judge but to support people who are considering surrendering and to provide options that may enable them to keep the animal. Here is a snapshot of the past 12 months demonstrating the enormity of what we do: 1166 special welfare surgeries undertaken by our veterinary team; 25,000 days of foster care to support an animal in preparation for adoption; 1196 animals de-sexed; 1397 microchips implanted;
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
veterinary consults and vacci¡ 9530 nations; and days of emergency accommo¡ 1223 dation for pets at risk. All achieved with limited financial resources. Animal Aid employs the equivalent of 38 full-time staff, but in the past year 749 volunteers worked 72,000 hours to support the animals in our care. Thankyou to all who support our work.

Pest bailed to avoid jail By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A HEALESVILLE “serial pest” who has been charged over multiple offences including petrol drive-offs, car theft, dangerous driving and excessive speeding has been granted bail. Jake Macey, 22, faced Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 16 May after being arrested in Pakenham over an alleged petrol drive-off in an unregistered car that morning. Police told the court that Macey, who made admissions, was on bail at
the time over four police briefs to be heard at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court in September and October. The Ringwood matters included theft of a car, number plates and petrol around the Healesville, Lilydale and Yarra Junction areas, as well as speeding and failing to obey police. Magistrate Barry Schultz was told on 16 May that there were a further three matters involving failing to appear on bail, driving and theft charges still to be processed by police.
Mr Schultz said it would not be fair to keep Macey in custody for months, given he was unlikely to receive more than a community-corrections order. “It seems to me he’s 22 years old and being a serial pest as much as anything else. “It would be contrary to the interests of justice to have him in custody till (September and October). “It’s a matter of looking at the conditions of bail.” As part of his bail, Macey was or-
dered to live with a close relative in Healesville, required to report to police three times a week and was subject to a night curfew. Macey asked Mr Schultz if the curfew applied to weekends. Mr Schultz replied: “Absolutely it does. You may not like that but you have got a choice of remaining in custody if you wish. “This is the last time he’ll get bail. Given the series of offending... he’s got to realise it’s got to stop.”
Macey was allowed to continue driving as part of his bail conditions, in order to get to his pallet-packing job. “Public transport in Healesville not flash,” Mr Schultz noted. Healesville police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said the Yarra Valley offences dated back to mid-to-late April, and that Macey was due to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 13 September. Macey was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 9 June.
Helpful new friends found in the blackberries By KATH GANNAWAY A NEED to get a few blackberries under control has introduced Yarra Junction resident Fred Hawker to a group of young people who took on the job ... and much more. Fred, a returned serviceman and Upper Yarra RSL member, has been staunchly independent all his life, but at nearly 90, and with a big garden to look after, he admits that keeping the garden in check is a challenge. He was both happy and amazed, he said, to see members of Upper Yarra Secondary College’s Year 9 and 10 Leadership Group on his doorstep on Wednesday (18 May) with garden tools, gloves and a ‘can do’ attitude to match. The school has formed a partnership with Upper Yarra RSL to run their homecare program for older community members who need a bit of help. “The goal of the program is to expose our young people to community service and the value that has in their own lives as well as those they are helping,” Junior School Leader, Mitchell Gray said. “A big part of the program is also keeping the older residents in touch with their community and
having some friendly faces around them; in this case, it’s teenage faces.” In the first term, the students do classroom work including communication, organisation and reporting. For most of the students, gardening is not something they readily put their hand up to do at home, but working as a team and seeing just what a difference their efforts mean to people like Mr Hawker, is reinforcing one of the textbook messages. “When we had Geoff Smith out from the RSL in term one, he talked about the role of volunteering as being much more about what you get than what you give,” said co-assistant principal, Michael Schultz. “These kids absolutely get that now,” he said. Student Carla Zekas said she actually did do gardening at home, but her main motivation for being part of the Homecare Group was that she just liked to help. She said she was happy to help anyone in need. “That Mr Hawker served this country is such a good thing and I want to help people like him and return the favour, but I am really keen to help anyone who needs help,” she said.

Yarra Valley’s Decision: LPG vs Natural Gas Do the math before deciding! • Natural gas providers charge a daily supply charge, when you multiply it by 365 days, it becomes a huge annual cost. • Supply charges vary, with some national supplier tariffs starting from around $284 per year before any gas use, and this figure could be higher. • The cost of converting gas appliances, according to Rinnai, is anywhere from $270 to $345 for EACH appliance.
Your results will vary based on the available tariffs, your gas consumption and your cost to convert. The following web page may assist you in your decision making
elgas.com.au/yarra-valley Alternatively, give one of our friendly staff members a call should you have any other questions.

Cat passion IT’S A GOOD time of the year to get the fires cranking, with wet weather making for the perfect opportunity to curl up by the fireplace inside. As one Wesburn resident knows, it’s also a good time of the year to be burning off excess green waste, with the Fire Danger Period well in the past. All burn-offs should be registered with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) on 1800 668 511, and should comply with Yarra Ranges Council’s burning off rules, which can be found at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.
I BROKE the head off my beautiful, sentimental glass cat ornament and was very, very upset. I took it to Tim at Silversmist Studio in Healesville who said it would be difficult to repair, and very expensive. I didn’t care. This cat has sentimental value! I am thrilled to bits that he could repair it and only charged me half of what he said the cost would be. I am giving him the other half of the quote for cancer research, which I know he is passionate about. Beryl Adams, Healesville.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian, 23 May 1936 OBVIOUS futility characterised the public meeting convened by the shire president in the council chamber last Friday night, to make further investigations into the ambitious proposal to establish a bush nursing hospital at Healesville. Only 40 locals attended, heartily discouraging an outcome, which in itself bespokes severe criticism of Healesville’s accustomed lethargy and lack of spontaneity when a question so important came up for review. It might also be recorded that many who attended the preliminary meeting some time back were conspicuous by their absence. It led to the question of whether they deem the whole scheme to ambitious. The Bush Nursing Hospital Association’s committee inspected sites for the hospital in McGretton’s, Lilydale, Lalor’s, Crowley’s and Mt Leonard roads. A visit was made to Nurse Tonge’s but it was suggested that were there was
CHARTERS & TOURS LOCAL & INTERSTATE
only one site that was suitable - Crowley’s Road. And if Healesville were going to build a hospital it should be built of brick, an edifice which would be something to be proud of. A building that would possess all modern facilities and be installed for nurses and surgeons and with no such impediments as narrow passage and doorways. Cr Kay strongly advocated a brick building. He mentioned that he would be prepared to donate 100 pounds to the proposal providing the building be of brick. The site selected on Crowley’s road, favoured by Cr Kay is an ideal, picturesque spot. Upper Yarra Mail, 26 May 1994 Upper Yarra Secondary College Grant THE Upper Yarra Secondary College community is celebrating after receiving word about its $150,000 government grant for improvement and upgrading works. The funds will be used to upgrade and extend the hockey fields playing area and facilities and to develop a levelled asphalted playing surface be-
tween the school’s tennis courts and the re-sited hockey ground. Part of the fund will be spent on constructing a screened waste collection and removal site. Business Training Park THE Valley of Vision, together with the Upper Yarra Community House, proposes to develop a Business Training Park with Federal Government money channelled through DEET. The project will provide training and work experience with a view to creating employment in a range of activities such as viticulture, fruit growing, horticulture, valve-adding to timber, arts and crafts. Ian Bruce and Ian Laing of Valley Vision and Sally Bennan of the Community House, spoke at a recent council meeting and convinced councillors that they should make available land and building adjoining the waste transfer station in Old Warburton Road for the project. - Contributed by Ellena Biggs

THERE is a federal election coming. You owe it to yourself to make an informed vote: to use your power in your best interest. All the publicity is about people, but actually, it’s policies that count, not politicians. I don’t care about a bus driver’s personality, only the safety and reliability of his driving. The same is true for politics. The Liberal Party has just updated its policies, which you can inspect at www.liberal.org. au/our-policies. Labor’s new set of policies are at www.100positivepolicies.org.au. The third force is the Greens. They also have a well thought-out, comprehensive range of policies. greens.org.au/policy. So, you can plan your vote, based on what’s important to you. If you want a humane society based on compassion and decency, look at asylum seeker policies. The Greens have a workable proposition that avoids the cruelty and illegality of the other two. If you want politics free from the scandals of big money, check out the Greens. If you want a future, made possible by keeping coal in the ground, forget the hype but look at policies. Thanks to preferential voting, you can lodge a protest vote by giving 1 to Greens candidate Dr Elissa Sutherland, then your second preference to the major party you least disapprove of. Sincerely, Dr Bob Rich, Healesville.

Ski in to help them out
Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen with Labor candidate for Casey Hovig Melkonian and his Picture: JESSE GRAHAM supporters at Lilydale Marketplace. 154434
Shadow drops in By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS FEDERAL Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen visited Lilydale Marketplace on Wednesday, 18 May, to support Casey Labor candidate Hovig Melkonian. During a meet-and-greet with local businesses owners, Mr Bowen spoke about his support for Mr Melkonian and how a Labor government would support the Casey electorate. “Hovig invited me to come out,” Mr Bowen said. “I have come to know Hovig since he has been the candidate and he is very enthusiastic and energetic. “When we have someone who is as keen to represent their area as much as Hovig is, I’m keen to help him out.” Mr Bowen said a Labor win for Casey would see improvements delivered to the area, particularly in schools. “A Labor budget would be not spending $50 billion on a corporate tax cut but spending 37 billion dollars on schools,” Mr Bowen said. “This would benefit Casey terms of its education; I know TAFE has been a big issue here and the first step in a quality education is good quality schools.
NEW
“We have underfunded schools in Australia and in Casey and Labor will fix it.” Mr Bowen also said he supported the Coalition’s small business tax cut, but with conditions. “We support the small business tax cut to bring small business tax to 27.5 per cent and that will see small business grow," he said. “What we don’t support is tax cuts for big business at the expense of support for small business or education.” Mr Melkonian said he appreciated Mr Bowen’s visit and the support for him as candidate. “We feel good about the campaign,” Mr Melkonian said. “We have been campaigning here for over 10 months - we’ve made lots of phone calls and thousands of door-knocks.“ Mr Melkonian and Mr Bowen said a Labor victory in Casey was a real possibility and that they were working hard to achieve it. “We are very confident of how we will go in Casey and think we will get a good result,” Mr Melkonian said. Current Casey MP Tony Smith won the 2013 Federal Election for the seat with a margin of 14.4 per cent over then-Labor candidate, Cathy Farrell.
KEEN skiers are being sought by Lake Mountain to take up volunteer roles in its ski patrol, providing first-aid and advice to visitors - and getting to see plenty of snow. The Lake Mountain Ski Patrol (LMSP) has begun its annual volunteer recruitment drive, seeking patrollers over the age of 18 who are fit, competent cross-country skiers with a level two first aid qualification. The LMSP will hold a training weekend on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 June, getting interested volunteers up to speed on the snow season at the resort. LMSP captain, Millgrove Outdoor Education Centre manager, Tim Hatten said the patrol members monitored areas for risks, provided first aid and advice to visitors, and assisted in searches when they occurred. But he said the members also get to spend time with like-minded people, providing an “in-
valuable” service to the 100,000 visitors expected over the season. “And, of course, we work in a beautiful environment and have the chance to ski the trails and chat with other skiers and snow players who are out on the snow and having fun.” He said some patrollers had been involved for more than 20 years, and had plenty of knowledge and experience to share with new recruits. “I can’t over-emphasise the value of volunteering, whether in the LMSP or any other community organisation,” he said. “The sense of satisfaction gained from helping out, for no other reason than the desire to be of assistance, is priceless.” Those interested in signing up to the ski patrol can learn more at www.lakemountainskipatrol. org or call secretary Catherine Sutton on 0403 146 378, or email ccrsutton@gmail.com.

RAINFALL is still down in Healesville with Alma Mitchell recording 61.8mm over nine days in April compared with 74.4mm over 16 days at the same time last year. In Hoddles Creek, Doug Armstrong recorded 69mm over nine days compared with 115mm over 15 days in April 2015. His January to April tally was 283mm for 2016 compared with 312mm in 2015 against a longterm average for April of 93mm.
Words of wisdom heard By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Valley Toastmaster clubs played host to Jim Kokocki, international president of the organisation last week, and introduced him to a Valleywide audience through Yarra Valley FM 99.1. Mr Kokocki, an entrepreneur and business consultant, is in Australia as guest speaker at the District 73 Toastmasters Convention which was held in Adelaide on the weekend 20-22 May. Toastmasters was founded in 1924 with the aim of teaching public speaking and leadership, and the four Yarra Valley clubs, Healesville, Wan-
din, CFA District 13 and Lilydale are among more than 15,400 clubs in more than 130 countries world-wide. Healesville member and past club president Kim Harris joined fellow Healesville member and Yarra Valley FM 99.1 presenter Cora Zon at the Woori Yallock studio on Thursday 19 May, to talk Toastmasters, business, communication and music. In terms of tools for a successful business, Mr Kokocki said there were four steps which could be summed up in the acronym AIDA - Attention; Interest; Desire and Action. “You need to grab their attention, interest them in how your product or
service can help them, create a desire for what you are offering and persuade them to take action such as buying or visiting your website,” he said. He said while the business environment had changed over time, the foundational skills of communication and leadership remained solid. Responding to a question on building communication skills, he said the key was to find an opportunity to practise and deliver your message. “Knowledge can come from a lot of places, such as reading a book, but it is not sufficient,” he said. “You need a place to practise and you need feedback from a mentor or
DRESS-UP, FUN-RAISE
as part of a group to point you in the direction of where you may be very strong, or where you need development.” Ms Harris said it was a wonderful opportunity provided for Mr Kokocki to share his insights and experience with a large audience. “What it has illuminated for me is that we have this world-wide organisation and this huge team in Toastmasters, so it really opened my eyes to the idea that we need ways of working more collaboratively, but also that we are doing this together, and not doing this alone. “It’s definitely a privilege for our
(Toastmasters) area, and for this community because a lot of what he was talking about was finding a place where you can learn skills and then take those skills out into the world, and that we need low cost ways of doing that as well.” Mr Kokocki said he took great pride in the thousands of clubs around the world. “I’m proud of the efforts of local club members who provide an environment in which members can become more confident to develop their communication skills and leadership skills,” he said.

Indigenous celebration By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Ranges residents are being called on to learn about and celebrate Aboriginal culture and history early next month, with the council hosting a Reconciliation Week event in Healesville. The council’s event, From Racism Towards Cultural Pride and Safety, will be held at Healesville’s Memo Hall from 10am-1pm on Thursday, 9 June. Speakers Professor Kerry Arabena, Richard Frankland and Anne Barton will discuss white privilege and its impacts, as well as celebrating cultural pride and living with cultural safety. Mr Detez said that Ms Barton was the great granddaughter of Sir Edmund Barton - Australia’s first Prime Minister, and one of the architects of the White Australia policies. He said Ms Barton would discuss white privilege - privileges in society that benefitted white people more than non-white people from similar backgrounds - and the impact it had on modern Australia, while Prof Arabena would discuss cultural approaches to improving Aboriginal health and well-being. Mr Frankland, a Gunitjmara man and singer-songwriter, will discuss cultural safety, and the idea of a society free from racism. Prof Arabena has a Doctorate in Human Ecology, and is chair of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Equity Unit at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health and is a descendant of the Meriam people of the Torres Strait. Last year’s event at the Memo drew residents, community group representatives and Aboriginal elders, discussing the state of reconciliation and the concept of “Indigenous ways of knowing” - a term Mr Detez described as “stuff based on connection”.
Cars cop a spray in overnight attack By KATH GANNAWAY
Garry Detez, Barb Dobson and Sara Renout from Yarra Ranges Council, Inspiro and HICSA. 154404 Picture: ROB CAREW “You’re connected to all that is, rather than the western way of knowing you’re separate from all that is,” he said. “Once you start to understand the connections you have to your natural environment, that’s when the notions of family, kinship and country come into that space, when you can connect to all that is and bringing that into the organisations around their power structures.” This year’s event is being organised
by the council, in conjunction with Inspiro and Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA). Mr Detez said he hoped Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals from the Yarra Ranges would attend the event - particularly those who may not know much about reconciliation, racism and Aboriginal culture. “That’s the main reason why we’re putting this sort of stuff on - to provide
some deeper insights into a lot of the issues that are affecting our society today,” he said. “We’re really interested in moving past this concept of racism, to a community where all cultures are valued, acknowledged and recognised.” For more information, or to RSVP to the event, email g.detez@yarraranges. vic.gov.au, or call 9294 6462.
A NUMBER of car owners in Eileen Grove, Woori Yallock, were shocked to find their cars had been targeted by vandals overnight Wednesday 18 May. As many as five or six cars were spray painted, causing thousands of dollars of damage. Resident, Jason Bald, said a friend’s car was among those damaged in what appears to be a random attack. “We walked out this morning to see spray paint all over the neighbours cars, all up the road there were cars spray painted with obscenities,” he said. He said his friend, who was heading interstate later in the day, was devastated. “It’s his first car and he is really shattered,” he said. “We think it happened about midnight and are hoping that we will be able to get some information from CCTV footage in the street.” Mr Bald and other victims have gone on social media, posting photos of the damaged cars, and with another resident saying her car had been broken into with what looked like an attempt to steal it. Yarra Junction police are keen to hear from anyone with information about the attacks. Phone 5967 1104 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Small packages By JESSE GRAHAM GETTING Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland under the same roof isn’t something that usually occurs in Healesville. But for the next month, visitors to the Healesville Library will get just that, with the Victorian Association of Miniature Enthusiasts (VAME) showing off their work. VAME members Jane Bullock and Karen Barnes visited the library on Tuesday 17 May, to put the finishing touches on a new exhibit, showcasing members’ works in creating miniature worlds. Scenes from Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland, as well as houses, objects and street scenes fill the shelves of the exhibition, all meticulously hand-made to scale. One piece, depicting Harry first getting sent his letters to Hogwarts, is made within a book, with a detailed replica of Harry’s cupboard underneath the stairs. Ms Barnes said the group met regularly in Mount Waverley, with members coming from the Yarra Valley and around the state to work on pieces, share tips and information, and take part in workshops. “The good thing about the workshops we do is you actually go home most times, and I’d say about 95 per cent of the time, with a completed article,” she said. “While you’re waiting for one piece to dry, you’re painting another piece - while that’s drying, you’re going back to the first piece - it’s like a little production line." Pointing out different pieces in the cabinet, Ms Barnes said miniaturists use scal-

The exhibition, she said, was to promote VAME to the wider community, as well as the Miniatures and Dollhouse Fair and Exhibition on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July at the Mount Waverley Community Centre. The exhibition will be on display until the end of June. For more information about VAME, visit www.vame.org.au - to see the exhibition, visit the Healesville Library in the Community Link building on River Street.

AN EXCITING exhibition of works from 19 young people from the Yarra Valley opened on Saturday 21 May at the The Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton. Curator, Suyin Chan, said the exhibition, ‘The Yarts of the Valley’, is a collection of mostly first-time exhibitors. “The collection represents a lively mix of styles and mediums from Manga, spray paint, murals, clay, and reproductions to photographs, acrylics, pencil, fineline pens and watercolour,” Ms Chan said. Students from Upper Yarra
Secondary College, Little Yarra Steiner School and the Yarra Valley Community School are represented in this diverse exhibition, as well as a few first year university students, and one senior primary school student. “This exhibition is well worth a visit to see what amazing young talent we have in the area,” Ms Chan said. The Yarts of the Valley is open until 8 June at The Waterwheel Centre, Main Street, Warburton. The centre and the gallery are open every day from 10am to 4pm.
Angry Birds doesn’t quite deliver The Angry Birds Movie Starring Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Danny McBride Rated PG THE video game arguably least deserving of a film adaptation has just gotten one, and it’s nothing special. Based on Rovio’s popular handheld game, The Angry Birds Movie follows Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), a belligerent fowl in a mostly peaceful community of birds. When an invading force of pigs steals the birds’ eggs, Red rallies the town to rescue the eggs. A case could be made
that Angry Birds is straightforward, energetic and has really fluid, colourful and expressive animation, all of which should keep your kids entertained. But beyond these minor positives, Angry Birds is a simplistic, disposable and rather irritating children’s movie. The characters are all one-note, and Red is a thoroughly unlikeable protagonist. The plot has very little suspense or momentum, and feels contrived whenever it tries to make sense out of the source game’s rules, especially when you consider that the birds (in their siege on the pig city) are
technically war criminals and the pigs would-be child murderers. The humour is also very poor, consisting mostly of puerile gags, uninspired references and some meanspirited slapstick in the beginning. Angry Birds is an adequate diversion, but Frozen, Big Hero 6, Zootopia and multiple Pixar movies (most notably Inside Out) have proved that kids are smarter than this. The Angry Birds Movie is a lacklustre example among both children’s movies and video game movies. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Yarra Ranges are champs THE Yarra Ranges hosted Mornington Peninsula at Healesville Football Ground on Saturday for the 2016 WorkSafe Community Championships. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and everybody was geared up to witness some high standards in football and netball. The Yarra Ranges were coming off a disappointing performance in 2015 and were looking at making amends. Coming up against an unknown quantity in Mornington Peninsula Nepean was always going to make it an interesting contest. Coaches Danny Ryan and Simon Blackney had their boys prepared while Sarah Hogan and Rachael Hickey were looking at showing just how strong the Yarra Ranges Netball competition is and they did not disappoint.
FOOTBALL SENIOR Yarra Ranges 13.8(86) d Mornington Peninsula Nepean FL(2) 12.4(76) Yarra Ranges started the day off with a blast, kicking with a slight breeze to the dog track end of the ground. Rodney Woodford (Healesville) kicked 3 in the first and it looked like it might be all one way traffic. Mornington fought back late in the quarter, kicking three themselves and it was all square at quarter time. The challenge was on. Jordy Williams (Woori Yallock) and Justin Myers (Wandin) were the driving force through the centre, while Damon Kift (Mount Evelyn) was working hard across the backline. It was goal for goal in the second and Yarra went into the major break with a 1-point lead. Words from the coach at half-time was to be smart. Play tempo footy, know when to slow the ball down and hold onto it. Look for our opportunities. That is just what they did in the third, taking advantage of the breeze and held Mornington goalless while kicking 3. Ben Monkhorst (Woori Yallock), Robbie Hartfield (Mount Evelyn) and Marcus Hottes (Olinda) started to make their presence felt. Mornington made a run in the last, kicking 5 goals to 3, but just could not get around the defence of Bart Wallace (Alexandra) and James Marasco (Yea). Matt Polkinghorne (Wandin) played a captain’s role and lead by example all day. Yarra Ranges Best: Justin Myers (Wandin; AFL Vic Best on Ground Medallist), Jordan Williams (Woori Yallock), Damon Kift (Mount Evelyn), Marcus Hottes (Olinda Ferny Creek), Nicholas Mende (Healesville), Matthew Polkinghorne (Wandin). Mornington Peninsula Best: Ryan Marks-Logan (Frankston Bombers; AFL Vic Best on Ground Medallist), Ethan Rahilly (Tyabb), Adrian Speedy (Somerville) Jonah Siverson (Red Hill), Rowan Hogenbirk (Somerville), Blake Harkness (Langwarrin).
UNDER 19s Mornington Peninsula Nepean FL(2) 16.20(116) d Yarra Ranges 7.11(53) Mornington Peninsula Nepean dominated this game from the first bounce, kicking 5.7 to nil in the first. Yarra Ranges fought hard all day, but it was never going to be easy to claw back the lead that Mornington had. Mornington played a well-drilled possession game of football and Yarra were always chasing.
Justin Myers (Wandin) wins Best on Ground. 154593
Ben Monkhorst (Woori Yallock) kept his eye during this tackle for a Pictures: GREG CARRICK mark 154593 Nelson Aldridge (Healesville) was a strong option up forward but the boys just could not break through the defences of Mornington to get the ball to him. Riley Aldous (Yea), Austin Smith (Yarra Glen) and Travis Gromer (Monbulk) ran all day. The lead at halftime was 30 points. Yarra came out and regrouped in the second half and kicked 5 goals, but Mornington maintained the pressure and kicked 10 goals themselves. Mornington Peninsula Best: Tanner Bishop (Rosebud; AFL Vic Best on Ground Medallist), Tom Stoffles (Rosebud), Sean Downie (Rosebud), Chad Harris (Sorrento), Tom Roberts (Somerville), Hamish McShane (Red Hill). Yarra Ranges Best: Drew Benson (Woori Yallock; AFL Vic Best on Ground Medallist), Nelson Aldridge (Healesville), Riley Aldous (Yea), Travis Gromer (Monbulk), Matthew Brierley (Mount Evelyn), Austin Smith (Yarra Glen).
NETBALL OPEN Yarra Ranges 63 d Mornington Peninsula 36 Yarra Ranges went into this year’s interleague defending their reputation as one of the premier netball competitions in the state. They certainly did no damage to it beating Mornington Peninsula by 30 goals. The game started at a frenetic pace with Yarra Ranges shooting 14 goals to 11. Ash Howard (Olinda) started off with a 9 goal first quarter. Krista Tomlinson was as always a force to be reckoned with in the centre, while the trio of Kaitlyn Black (Mount Evelyn), Ty Coppinger (Wandin) and Tamara Luke (Olinda) were a real mountain
to try and shoot over. Another 17 goals in the second to 8 saw a lead of 12 goals at halftime. The final straw was the 18-goal third quarter that really put the result to rest. Yarra Ranges Best: Krista Tomlinson (Olinda Ferny Creek; AFL Vic Best on Court Medallist), Ash Howard (Olinda Ferny Creek - 30 goals), Kaitlyn Black (Mount Evelyn). Mornington Peninsula Best: Sarah Duncan (Rye; AFL Vic Best on Court Medallist), Alana McDonald (Devon Meadows), Dionne Douglas (Crib Point).
Robert Hartfield (Mount Evelyn) scores a goal with this kick. 154593
UNDER 17s Yarra Ranges 49 d Mornington Peninsula 24 The girls came out full of running. They got the jump from the outset with Emerson Woods (Warburton Millgrove) and Holly McInerney (Wandin) setting the scene under the ring. Ciara Lumsden (Wandin) was a goer all day. A seven-goal lead at the first break set up the match. Holly McInerney was amazing under the ring, shooting nine and 10 goals in the second and third quarters, while the defence stood tall led by Emelie AinslieAitkens (Wandin), Alanna Lennie (Wandin) and Stephanie Durant (Warburton Millgrove). The final quarter was the biggest scoring quarter, with Yarra shooting 16 to Mornington 5. A well-deserved win to the girls. Yarra Ranges Best: Ciara Lumsden (Wandin; AFL Vic Best on Court Medallist), Holly McInerney (Wandin - 34 goals), Charlotte Sparkes (Wandin). Mornington Peninsula Best: Isabella Shannon (Red Hill; AFL Vic Best on Court Medallist), Eliza McGuigan (Rye), Shannon Young (Rosebud).

Great day for gun Phillip THE weather for the Woods Point Gun Club’s Tear Gully Championships was fine but cool with a good attendance and keen competition. To clear the cobwebs out of the barrels, shooters started with a 10 target Eye Opener with Daryl Ewert, Phillip Desmond, Trevor Ewert, John Wood and Josh Cleeland all sharing the cash pool. The first of the championships was the Tear Gully 40 target Double Barrel. No one managed the magical 40/40 but Phillip Desmond claimed the championship sash, 44/45, after a short shoot off with Laurie Poile. Desmond took the AA Grade prize as well. Ken Skinner was second in AA, 43/45. Trevor Ewert claimed A Grade, 56/59, with Daniel Chinn in second place, 55/59. Poile took B Grade 39/40, Peter West the runner-up, 35/40, while in C Grade Marty McLachlan took the honours with a great 37/40 from Peter Shahin, 37/43. After lunch the shooters assembled for the 20 target TAG Handicap with only Peter West returning a perfect 20/20 to
take the Championship sash. Chuck Lay, Ken Skinner and Rob Bevis fought for the minor places with Lay second, 31/33, then Bevis, 30/33 and Skinner, 21/23. The day finished with the TAG Auto and Driven Championship and was won outright by Trevor Ewert, 26/30. Desmond’s 25/30 was enough to secure second place with David Frazer and Geoff Hill shooting off for third and fourth. Hill finished third, 30/40 and Frazer fourth, 27/40. Desmond took the overall High Gun sash with an excellent 82/90 to finish a successful day. Anne Skinner prepared a great lunch and afternoon tea that Bushies Bakery added to with a large array of pies and cakes. Sponsors for the day were Box and Tania Taylor of the Woods Point Commercial Hotel and Trevor Ewert of Bushies Bakery, Glengarry. Next shoot is the Howqua River Championships on Sunday, 26 June, at 10.30am.

Long wins are on a par WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY PAR - The daily winner was Paul Long with a creditable +2. His ‘vacation golfingpartner’, Jason Kennedy, was runner-up on +2. (Paul won on a countback). The balls went down to -2. The NTPs for the day were won by Allan Hubbard 3rd, Mike Dobson 9th and 2nd shot on the 17th to Lynda Dickson (again!). SATURDAY Foursomes-Championships - The much-coveted foursomes championships was played over 27 gruelling
holes, with an outright pairs title and a nett title to win. The defending champions, Paul Mason and Jon Cross were out to win it again. And, they did! Both players were believed to have played great golf for the entire 27 holes, to come in with a superb 103, ‘off the stick’. This is par for 27 holes, so clearly there were some birdies mixed in with some bogies. They won with a healthy winning margin, which pleased Junior greatly! Congratulations to both title winners, as their
names will be posted on the honour boards soon. The equally important nett title went to two gentlemen who have been mentioned before in this column. Jason Kennedy and Paul Long combined really well to come in with a nett score of 104.5. (Holidays must agree with the both of them). Any pair who scored 113 or lower succeeded in getting into the ball rundown. The NTPs were won by Sam Dennis 3rd, Mase 5th, Allan Hubbard 9th, and CHB on the 12th.

A dirty business By JAMIE STRUDLEY
Bryan Ackerly digging in deep at Cruden Farm. 154562
ATHLETICS Victoria’s XCR series turned its attention to Cruden Farm, Langwarrin, for Heritage Round on Saturday. A fantastic day and sensational venue provided for some excellent running over a very fun - but challenging - course. Standout performances came from Georgia Laven, emphatically winning the Under 16 Girls 6km race, with new member Annabel Luxford finishing in 24th place in a star-studded Open Women’s 8km and the Open Women finishing 10 athletes - this is a great sign that the club is attracting new athletes of all ages and abilities. Individual results: M14 4km, Zachariah Clarke 10th 15.55, James Love 11th 16.24, Taj Linde 12th 16.38; M16 6km, Harrison Van Duuren 14th 21.17, Camden Hewitson 32nd 25.32, Ryan Thrall 35th 28.14; M18 8km, James Laven 13th 29.15, Connor Thrall 15th 29.31, Mitchell Mullens 27th 32.49; MOPEN 16km, Mathieu Dore 83rd 59.24, Caleb McInnes 107th 1.01.23, Michael Clarke 144th 1.04.11,Stephen Blair 158th 1.05.00, Bryan Ackerly 169th 1.06.14, David Seeds 214th 1.09.31, David

Our Saturday morning, cross-country had slightly fewer numbers, in part due the brisk conditions and the senior athletes competing elsewhere. Still plenty of PBs and choccie frogs to keep everyone smiling. Next week, the club is a guest of the Cockatoo Little Athletics Club, competing at the renowned cross country course at Cockatoo Recreation Reserve, Mountain Road, Cockatoo.
