Crash court sequel By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS, KATH GANNAWAY AND JESSE GRAHAM A BADGER Creek man has been remanded to face court in November, after a head-on crash between a car and a motorbike in Coldstream on Thursday, 28 July. Guy Anthony Barry, 36, appeared before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 29 July, charged with negligently causing serious injury and dangerous driving causing serious injury after hitting a motorbike on the Maroondah Highway the day before.
No application for bail was made, and Barry is expected to front court again on 4 November. Police believe Barry’s Nissan Murano wagon crossed onto the wrong side of the highway at 11.30am and hit a Ducati motorbike, ridden by a 45-year-old Ringwood man, near Hill Road in Coldstream. The motorbike rider suffered lifethreatening injuries in the crash, including upper-body and leg injuries, and was taken to The Alfred hospital by air ambulance.
Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) Detective Senior Constable Matthew Hunt said on Monday, 1 August, that the rider remained in a “serious condition” at The Alfred. Barry was arrested at the scene of the crash and interviewed by MCIU officers before being charged – the MCIU then closed the road after 5pm on Thursday to carry out a reconstruction of the crash. MCIU Detective Sergeant Mark Patrick told the Mail that Barry was visibly upset and distressed about the situation at the scene of the crash.
The westbound lane of the Maroondah Highway, which had motorbike parts strewn around 50 metres, was closed after the crash as police carried out their investigations. MCIU officers have spoken to three witnesses to the crash, but have asked for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Healesville police are also looking for witnesses to a crash in Yarra Glen last week, where a driver fled the scene. At about 5pm on Wednesday, 27
July, two cars crashed at the intersection of Eltham-Yarra Glen Road and Steels Creek Road. Leading Senior Constable Cliff Argus said a 26-year-old Lilydale man, who was driving one of the cars involved, fled the scene, and was located by police on Melba Highway a short time later, testing positive to alcohol. Neither driver is believed to have suffered serious injuries. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call Healesville police on 5962 4422.

Our Bob, who achieved a lot “HE has achieved so much in his life”. That pivotal observation of Yarra Junction’s Bob Finch by CFA chaplain Harley Kitchen, was, as he said himself, a huge understatement. Mr Kitchen led a celebration of Bob’s life at Heritage Funerals in Woori Yallock on Tuesday, 12 July. Bob died suddenly at 73 years of age on 2 July, leaving his family and the many friends and associates he had made in his decade or so in the Upper Yarra in shock, and in sadness. For many who knew Bob only in the last period of his life, mainly through his involvement with Ben’s Shed, the Yarra Junction men’s shed, and during his time in a wheelchair, his story was indeed a revelation. “He has achieved so much through his life ... overcoming obstacles and powering on, so many times,” was the full observation. He had a rough start to life. Born Robert Raymond Finch on 18 October, 1942, in Ararat, he was Robert and Laurel Finch’s first child. His limbs had not fully formed, he had no lower limbs, one leg ending just below his knee and the other around mid-calf. His right arm ended at his elbow. Doctors operated to separate and define four fingers and a thumb - and boy, did Bob make good use of that handiwork! Bob’s parents treated him as any

ing ace and double amputee, Douglas Bader, was to meet his hero when he came to Australia. Another surprise revelation was Bob’s interest in musical theatre, performing in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and assisting at local eisteddfods where he met his first wife, Elsa (Rose) Pagenstecher. Rose and Bob married in 1964 and had three children - Conrad, who sadly died at birth, and Jane and Anni. After Bob and Rose separated in 1978, Bob joined Parents without Partners in Sunbury where he made many friends, and met his second wife, Ingrid. They married in 1981 the family grew to five children with Ingrid’s three young children Jason, Racheal and Pieter. Bob’s community work continued when they moved to Mt Eliza with Bob becoming Scout leader at Frankston’s disabled Scout group in the early '80s and president of the Carrum Junior Football Club. Ingrid and Bob moved to Launching Place in 1998, where he had a workshop in his home shed and taught local unemployed teenagers new skills in woodworking. That led him to working with a local committee on establishing Ben’s Shed. Rob Barber spoke on behalf of the Men’s Shed, again sharing some funny and poignant anecdotes. “A lot of the programs we have at the shed are down to Bob’s persistence and his wanting to get involved with the groups,” he said.

For Bob Finch, life was like riding a bike. 157480 productive including working in local council and the fuel industry, among other areas. Wherever the Finch family lived, Bob was involved in community from the Jaycees in Kyabram to the local gun club in Mildura and, in the Yarra Valley the Upper Yarra SES was included in that dedication to community. Bob was grandfather to 10 grandchildren and there were moving tributes on their behalf from Chelsea and Brooke and a piece on cello by grandnephew, Daniel. Mr Barber spoke of suggestions of a memorial to Bob. “I think the memorial is going to be the Shed, and the longevity of the programs,” he said. “That will be a memorial to Bob.”

He singled out the mentoring program run with several schools in the area which had brought hundreds of young people into contact with older mentors, and taught them woodworking skills. “He got to know his community and what the community wanted,” he said. “Bob looked at the areas of community that needed special help, and worked on them.” Another tribute came from Albert Grulke on behalf of the Warburton RSL where Bob was an affiliate member. He said Bob was a tireless worker and respected and admired member. “He worked in the background but he was always there and I could always rely on him. “Bob was never one to cry ‘poor me’, he just got on with it,” he said.

other young boy growing up. A photo slide show of Bob throughout his early and later family life, presented a pictorial celebration of resilience, determination and normality. At three he was fitted with a peg leg and at eight received his first pair of artificial legs. He went to school, walked, ran, rode a bike, swam and when he was old enough, rode motorbikes and, with modifications drove cars and trucks. His younger brother Alan paid tribute in a message from London, saying that growing up together taught him a lot about courage and resilience. He said Bob would tackle anything from flying to snorkelling off South Bondi, and defying anyone who didn’t believe that he could actually run on his artificial legs. His anecdotes had the ‘audience’ in bursts of laughter. Alan wrote that after damaging his leg at school one day, he was carted off in a wheelbarrow. “He said, with a grin, that he was the only kid who could break a leg and be back at school the same afternoon,” Alan recalled. Bottle collections for the YMCA was another memory. “Bob would always volunteer to go into the places with dogs. His attitude was - if they bite me it’s going to hurt them, not me,” he said. They were just a couple of many very believable anecdotes. A major highlight for Bob as a teenager who was crazy about aeroplanes and a great admirer of WW2 RAF fly1233106-ACM26-16

Fireys safer with new tanker truck By JESSE GRAHAM DIXONS Creek CFA will be betterequipped for hard-to-reach fires and will have a safer crew after its new tanker was commissioned and handed over on 24 July. CFA District 13 operations manager Dave Renkin visited the CFA station on Sunday 24 July to officially commission the tanker, which will replace the brigade’s 13-year-old, twowheel drive tanker. Captain Wayne Morrow said the brigade received the $360,000 tanker through the Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program (VESEP), with the brigade contributing $80,000 towards the vehicle. That money, he said, was raised through sausage sizzles, running car parking at events, and donations from businesses, residents and visitors over the years. “What I would like to stress ... is thanks to the local businesses and their patrons, our brigade members for their contribution, and obviously the Lion’s club,” Capt Morrow said. He said the new tanker was 4WD capable, making fighting fires in difficult terrain easier, and had safety features such as “full-crew protection”, which was made mandatory since the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. “With this one, we have all the crew inside – the crew doesn’t travel on the back, like they used to in the past,” he said.
A WOORI Yallock man will serve a community corrections order after a horrific rollover crash near Woori Yallock last year. Matthew Beech, 22, fronted the Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 29 July, to answer charges for a crash on Healesville-Kooweerup Road on 23 May 2015. About 10.45pm, Beech lost control of the car he was driving with a passenger, rolling the car onto its roof and landing in a water-filled culvert. The passenger was able to free himself, but as the car filled up he had to hold Beech’s head above water to stop him from drowning. Beech was taken to The Alfred hospital, and a blood sample at 2am the next day returned a blood alcohol content result of 0.183 - a forensic test determined that the blood alcohol content at the time of the crash would have been between 0.216 - 0.250, more than four times the legal limit. Magistrate Marc Sargent noted Beech’s lack of prior convictions for drink driving, agreeing to have the man assessed for a community corrections order. “It sounds like you’re lucky to be here with us today,” Mr Sargent said. “As a young person, there’s no doubt it’s well settled that jail is a last resort.”
Nabbed with cannabis POLICE are searching for information after a stolen car was found burnt out by the side of the road in Coldstream over the weekend. On Saturday 30 July, a Subaru Impreza was found burnt out in Ingram Road in Coldstream. Belgrave police Sergeant Carolyn Sunderland said the vehicle was found to have been stolen from a Narre Warren shopping centre in September last year. A 25-year-old Wandin North man has received a caution from police after being caught in possession of cannabis in Silvan in July. At 5pm on Sunday 24 July, the man was stopped by police at the rear of the Silvan football oval and found to be in possession of cannabis. Monbulk police Sergeant Mark Knight said the man received a caution as a result.
Telstra van raided
Dixons Creek CFA members with their new truck, which was officially handed over on Sunday, 24 July. 157274 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM “It’s a lot safer for the crew, a lot more comfortable, especially on the cold nights. It’s just a better equipped vehicle.” Mr Renkin said the brigade’s VESEP application was accepted due
to the lack of 4WD capable tankers at the station. “The support of this was clearly around the brigade’s need for a 4WD up through the area,” he said.
“It’s great to see them getting success in it – they’re a great little brigade, and I’m sure they’re going to get great benefit out of it in years to come. “It’s a great thing for them and the community.”
POLICE are searching for witnesses after a Telstra van was broken into at the back of a Healesville property late last month, with thieves making off with thousands of dollars’ worth of tools. Healesville police Leading Senior Constable Jarrod Rollason said the van was parked inside a locked fenced area at the rear of a Maroondah Highway property for two weeks, leading up to 1 August. Sometime in those two weeks, police believe thieves scaled the fence and broke into the van, stealing $8000 worth of telecommunications tools. Anyone who might have seen any suspicious behaviour is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cancer champion’s award By JESSE GRAHAM AN OVARIAN cancer champion who raised thousands for charity earlier this year has had her work recognised with a surprise $10,000 award from BankVic. Former Healesville High School teacher Sue Contarino was awarded the $10,000 Community Hero Award at a specially-held school assembly at Wonga Park Primary School, on Tuesday 12 July. Her award was presented by BankVic CEO Stephen Capello at the assembly, which was attended by Victoria Police Eastern Region Assistant Commissioner Rick Nugent, Ovarian Cancer Australia’s director of fund-raising Katrina Parker, and Ms Contarino’s friends and family. Mr Capello said her award followed Ms Contarino’s Walk with Me event, where a group of walkers took on the 42 kilometre Warburton Trail to raise money for ovarian cancer research. “Not only did Sue raise $12,500 but she stunned doctors and her family and friends by walking the event herself,” he said. Ms Contarino’s husband Steve nominated her for the award, and she was chosen from a short-list of 12 finalists who were assessed on how they displayed generosity and courage. She told the Mail the award assembly was a surprise, and that she didn’t realise the event was in her honour until she was on the stage. “It was an absolute shock to find that my husband had organised this assembly at my daughter’s school,” she said. “I was in tears, shaking, the knees went, the whole thing. It was incredible. “Even when they were doing their talk ... I hadn’t noticed the cheque because my eyes were all teary - he said, ‘What are you going to do with your $10,000?’ then I nearly fell apart.” Ms Contarino, who was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer in 2013,

SCHOOLS, charities and community groups in the Yarra Valley are thousands of dollars better off, after the Lions Club of Healesville’s annual changeover and disbursements dinner last week. On Wednesday, 27 July, about 100 people gathered at the Yarra Glen Racecourse for the annual evening, which sees awards and funds handed out to groups in Healesville, Yarra Glen and their surrounds. Outgoing Lions president, Lesley Grigg, spoke on the evening before handing over the reins to new president Lindsay Frost, and thanked the volunteers at the Lions Den op shop for their fund-raising efforts for the club. “They manage to turn other people’s unwanted goods to gold,” she said. “Without this tireless work we would not be able to offer a night like this, where we disburse funds to our worthy community organisations - we thank these volunteers unreservedly for their unstinting work on behalf of the Lions club and their community.” Ms Grigg noted the success of the Deck the Heales competition, where shopfronts in the town were decorated with elaborate, illuminated Christmas displays. The competition was run with the Rotary Club of Healesville, the Healesville Chamber of Commerce and the Yarra Ranges Council. “We were enchanted with the
quality of the displays - a great gift to the town for the festive season,” Ms Grigg said, adding that work had begun on this year’s event. Healesville, Badger Creek, Dixons Creek, Toolangi, Yarra Glen, Yering and Woori Yallock Primary Schools all received $1000 from the club on the night, while Healesville High School received $2000. Badger Creek, Haig Avenue, Queens Park and Yarra Glen preschools received $1000 each, as did Badger Creek, Dixons Creek and Toolangi’s CFAs and Healesville’s SES. Yarra Glen CFA received $2000, Healesville’s Girl Guides received $500 and Yarra Glen’s Girl Guides received $800; Healesville Interchurch Community Care Incorporated (HICCI) received $2000, while Melba Support Services and Healesville’s Scouts received $1000 apiece. Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association received $400, while Badger Creek and District Men’s Shed and the Yarra Glen Festival of Light each received $1000. Brian Gibbs, Ray Frogley and Jolanda Rich were announced as recipients of the club’s Community Service Awards on the night, paying tribute to their contributions to the Healesville and Badger Creek areas. In the 2015-'16 financial year the Lions Club of Healesville donated $44,204 to different causes, charities and community groups.
Yarra Valley’s Decision: LPG vs Natural Gas Do the math before deciding!
• Supply charges vary, with some national supplier tariffs starting ing 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. • The natural gas supplier only runs the gas line from the main to the meter - everything after the meter is your responsibility and cost. 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

• Natural gas providers charge a daily supply charge, when you u multiply it by 365 days, it becomes a huge annual cost. ,3.(: 3;+

Letters Hub hubbub IT HAS been proposed to close all council hub buildings on Saturday from 23 July without any community consultation. After reporting the closure of VicRoads facilities last month, I knew this was not the last of it. Soon they will be closing hubs through the shire. There is a misperception the hubs are only for collecting rates, but they should have a wider emphasis than this. Plus books will no longer be able to sourced on weekends. My take is that hubs with books should be open to 2pm on Saturdays, similar to City of Knox facilities. Obviously the number-crunchers are in control. Monbulk has just lost one of its major industries with possibly 100 jobs lost from the town; VicRoads has gone, so where does this leave Monbulk? In a hole. I am not going to talk about the town dying like Mr Coleman did recently, predicting more shop closures. We all should be positive. If council is serious about saving costs then they may need to look at closing Upwey’s facility, which is only a shopfront with no books available.
Council needs to do some lateral thinking and at a public meeting tell the people what it has come up with. Bruce Johnson, Silvan.
IGA deserted IN REGARDS to the ‘forced’ closure of Seville’s local IGA store. This store has been the backbone of our town for so many, many years; and the store that would even go to such service levels as getting in stocks of items requested by we locals that they normally do not carry! I am a proud member of the Save Seville Group, which strived to stop the elimination of this IGA supermarket and sat next to Barry Entwistle at the (Yarra Ranges) Council meeting that caused the closing of the store. The elimination commenced when Cr (Terry) Avery cast his vote in favour of Woolworths opening in Seville directly opposite the IGA supermarket and, as Barry Entwistle has stated, the final straw was when then mayor, Cr Fiona McAllister, granted permission to BWS to open a store next to Woolworths.
This obviously gave the green light for the issue of yet another liquor licence (I was at that council meeting also). I am finding it hard to understand why Cr McAllister, having the casting vote also, and after giving numerous reasons for ‘not’ granting yet another liquor licence for our area, called for a show of hands to grant a licence and was the first one to raise her hand in favour ... goodbye IGA! Bill Wellington, Save Seville Group.
Oh yes it is IN REPLY to Steve Meacher’s letter ‘Not so sustainable’ (Mail, Tuesday, 26 July). The draft Localised Planning Statement supports sustainable forestry. Mr Meacher, how on Earth does that pervert (Yarra Ranges) Council policy? It’s not only Cr (Jim) Child’s claim that the timber industry is sustainable; the State Government also recognises the timber industry as sustainable. Mr Meacher seems to have a problem appreciating that the timber industry is tightly con-
Pages from the past Healesville Guardian, 1 August 1936 In Case You Didn’t Know THE proposed erection of a new residence for the caretaker in the park seems a piece of projected municipal extravaganza. Why should this gentleman be cuddled any more than other shire employees? Where is the necessity for the caretaker to live on the job? He has fixed hours of duty – or should have and when knock-off time comes he might just as well be living in a house of his own outside the park, the same as anyone else. The whole thing seems extraordinary, especially in view of the fact that it has just about been found impossible to erect a hospital, even of the most modest dimensions. Yet here is a proposal to build a brand-new building at the ratepayers' expense so that one of the council employees will be given a better roof over his head.

som at present and from the soles of its feet to the bald spot on its head. Healesville is aglow with love of country. Moreover, Healesville, as has been often noted, is always a ‘sure thing’ for something new. It cottons on any new proposal with the same intensity of delight as a child cottons on to a new toy – and often regrettably. At the present juncture Healesville is enamoured of bright uniforms. For the past month or so there have been rumours of the formation locally of a brand new band of warriors, calling themselves the Legion of Frontiersmen and matters were brought to a sense of realisation one day last week when Mr Vernon Batt was seen in a splendid new regalia and to make his way to the railway station. Rumours and apprehension ran as to whether the Japanese had entered Northern Australia.
Upper Yarra Mail August 4 1994 Yarra Centre Project Manager Appointed. FOLLOWING submissions from 18 applicants, the Shire of Upper Yarra has appointed Civil and Civic as project managers for the detailed design and construction of the Yarra Centre. “Civil and Civic has an impressive record in managing projects similar to the Yarra Centre including the City of Springvale Leisure Centre and Xavier College Recreation Centre,” says Deputy Shire Engineer, Peter Cownley.

trolled under the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Act 2004, the Conservation Forests and Lands Act 1987 and no fewer than six other Acts of the Victorian Parliament. I suggest that Mr Meacher checks the terms of reference for Premier Daniel Andrews’ Forest Industry Taskforce, which clearly states that the taskforce will provide to the Victorian Government recommendations about how best to ensure that Victoria conserves high value ecological assets, maintains healthy forests and builds and maintains a vibrant world-leading forest, fibre and wood products industry, based on securing fibre and wood supplies including from native forests. I would suggest that Mr Meacher attends council meetings to gain a greater appreciation of matters discussed in the chamber instead of “quote picking” from the local media. Mayor Jason Callanan did say: “The industry was already working as a sustainable industry with a view to the future”. No mindless empty rhetoric here, what Cr Child said at the council meeting is the truth. Jacqui Commans, Friends of Forestry.

Education on ice comes to town
By JESSE GRAHAM By KATH GANNAWAY
Riverbanks and community use of the Yarra River are part of the Picture: KATH GANNAWAY discussions, which finish on 5 August. 156582 the discussion paper’s summary reads. “A number of investigations have also been commissioned to inform the Yarra MAC’s deliberations.” A DELWP spokesperson told the Mail that “all local councils involved in the Yarra River Protection Program Project Reference Group”, including Yarra Ranges Council, were informed of the launch and sent promotional material to disseminate to communities. “The community workshops are part of this broader engagement program,” the spokesperson said. “They offer a forum for people who prefer to share their views in person - in addition to these engagement opportunities, members of the community may also

had a tendency (to do drugs) are cropping up. We are seeing people who are cleanskins, never been in trouble before, doing very serious assaults,” he said. “We’re seeing otherwise stable people - married, a job, young children, a mortgage - the whole deal and both are addicted to ice and falling apart at the seams.” Other police tell the same story, and there’s a level of concern not only about the growing burden of ice crime on their work, but on what it means for the people whose lives are affected, as users, colleagues, family ... friends. They said one reason the general public was not aware of what was happening was that the stereotypical portrait of users as skinny 18-year-olds with sores all over their face is not typical. They talk of tradesmen in their late thirties and forties, uni students, and professionals; people in all socio-economic groups. On the roads, too, ice use is a growing problem with the TAC saying the effects of ice are impairment to drive safely not only while under the effect of the substance, but also when coming down in the days after taking it, which they say can last up to six days. BreakThrough sessions are free, but booking is essential. For information and to register, visit www.turningpoint.org.au/education/breakthrough . The Healesville BreakThrough session is Community Meeting Room, (at the Library) 110 River Street, Healesville, from 5pm to 8pm.

submit a written submission.” When asked if the consultation period would be extended, the spokesperson said the Ministerial Advisory Council was “committed to delivering its final report by early September”. “This is to allow appropriate legislation to be prepared within this term of government,” they said. To read the discussion paper, or to make a submission, visit haveyoursay.delwp.vic.gov.au/protecting-the-yarra-river. To register for the workshop at The Memo, 235 Maroondah Highway, Healesville, call 8392 5500 or email yarra.river@delwp.vic.gov.au. The workshop will run from 6-8pm on Thursday, 4 August.
IN 2015, police told the Mail that ice was an increasing problem in the Yarra Valley and behind a lot of the offending, including family violence. They called on the community to stand up and help them beat the problem. Turning Point, part of Eastern Health and affiliated with Monash University, is bringing the ice education program ‘BreakThrough: Ice education for families, to Healesville on Wednesday 10 August. BreakThrough aims to address the stigma and shame that prevents families from seeking help and promotes connections between people who share a similar experience. The program will cover key issues including how to identify if family members are using ice; how to seek treatment and how families can support these decisions. It will also look at the relationship between drug use and mental health. The message from police last year was alarming, and it’s getting worse. Sergeant Kevin Largue from Yarra Junction stated last year “Ice is an increasing problem, and it’s in every part of society, not just down in the suburbs.” He said they saw it in the family violence call-outs, and added they knew it was a factor because they were told it was by the people they were dealing with in those situations. “People who would not have

A YARRA Ranges councillor has criticised DELWP for its consultation on the Yarra River’s future, with a workshop to be held in Healesville on Thursday one day before submissions close. O’Shannassy Ward Councillor Jim Child raised the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning’s Protecting the Yarra River (Birrarung) project at the council meeting’s Items Through the Chair on Tuesday, 26 July. Cr Child said that, although the discussion paper was released for consultation on 1 July, a listening post was not held in Warburton until 30 July, with a workshop to be held in Healesville on 4 August - the day before submissions close. He said that environmental groups had been made aware of the consultation, but that the wider community, including himself as the ward councillor, had not been notified. “Environmental Justice Australia and Yarra Riverkeepers (Association) and environment groups appear to be all over this, but not the general community,” he said. “If we’re looking at the whole length of the Yarra corridor, how many landholders is this going to affect?” The Yarra River Protection Ministerial Advisory Committee (Yarra MAC) developed the discussion paper on behalf of the Victorian Government, and the consultation asks residents to comment on what parts of the Yarra River they would like to see protected or improved, to develop a vision for the river’s future. The discussion paper also raises the prospect of a new management model for the river and its surrounding environment, as well as legislation to formally protect the river. “The Yarra MAC will consider all feedback and prepare a summary report,”

Holy Fools CEO Neal Taylor at Lilydale’s Melba Park, where the week of events will take place. 157198 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Awareness Walks on Tuesday 2 August at 2.30pm and Saturday 6 August at noon, where a group will walk around Lilydale, pointing out areas that people on the streets use for shelter. “It’ll surprise a lot of people ... I think people will be quite surprised at some of the places people have chosen to sleep, just for their own safety,” Mr Taylor said. He said that Mr Heenan’s annual sleepout usually drew a number of people who were experiencing homelessness, because of the safety of being around other people. Each weeknight from 5pm, the Yarra Ranges Housing Action Group will hold Fireside Talks, discussing about family issues and homelessness with someone related to each topic. Though this year marks the eighth annual sleepout, Mr Taylor said homelessness remained largely “hidden”, due to the size of the Yarra Ranges and the many places people sought for shelter away from main streets. He encouraged anyone inter-

HOMELESSNESS in the Yarra Ranges will be at the forefront during a week-long series of events this week, culminating in a public sleep-out in Lilydale. From Friday 29 July to Sunday 7 August, Holy Fools will run the Yarra Ranges Homeless Winter Sleepout in Lilydale’s Melba Park. The event is an extension of the annual sleepout that former mayor Tim Heenan takes part in every year, to highlight homelessness in the Yarra Ranges. Mr Heenan will be sleeping in a cardboard box throughout the week, which coincides with national Homelessness Prevention Week, and events will be run each day at the David Wilkinson Pavilion nearby with a public sleepout scheduled for Saturday 6 August. Holy Fools CEO Neal Taylor said the public sleepout area would be fenced off, with portable toilets, tea and coffee and volunteers on-hand to talk about homelessness and related issues in the area. “It’s not even close to the reality of being homeless, but we want ... just to encourage people to feel the severity of what it would feel like to sleep in the cold, give up their bed for the night,” he said. The week was officially launched from 11am on Monday 1 August at the pavilion, with Mr Taylor, Mr Heenan, Anchor CEO Heidi Tucker, Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan and youth advocate Laura Johns speaking and lunch provided by Tasty Az. The issue of homelessness will be further highlighted in

ested in the public sleepout to come to Melba Park from 6pm on Saturday 6 August, bringing tents, cardboard, or “whatever they need to survive”. Cr Callanan said it was important to acknowledge that homelessness was an issue facing residents in the area, not just in the city. “People experiencing homelessness do not want our sympathy; they need our support and assistance in accessing services that can make a difference in their daily lives,” he said. “As a community we need to look not only at the issue of homelessness, but also the root causes and symptoms so that we can work together to create change.” Participation in the public sleepout is a $5 donation, which will fund Holy Fools’ projects, such as their weekly Street Angels lunch at the park in Lilydale and in Yarra Junction.

Mostly toasty By KATH GANNAWAY BREE Lowden was the toast of Upper Yarra Secondary College (UYSC) on Wednesday, 27 July. Bree was showered with streamers as she picked the 20,000th toastie from a stack of steaming cheese and tomato toasties prepared by volunteers from the River Valley Church (RVC) as part of the UYSC chaplaincy. The RVC volunteers have been greeting students off the morning buses each Wednesday for three years with a warm smile and a warm toasted sandwich – between 120 and 150 of them, in fact. Students Daniel Chambers and Robert Jones met the chaplaincy volunteers at 8.15am to help set up the ‘toastie 20,000’
Brekky@theBuses, working on a production line transforming multiple loaves of bread into breakfast for the students. Daniel and Robert have been volunteering all this year as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award community work. Regular toastie recipient, Jack Collette said, like many others, he didn’t eat breakfast on Wednesdays. “Thanks for the toasties and for giving up your time in the morning to feed us,” was his message on behalf of the students. Warburton/Yarra Junction Bendigo Community Bank director, Sally Brennan, was also on the 20,000th toastie team. She said the bank had been pleased to sponsor the program from day one and congratulated the River Valley Church and
UYSC chaplaincy for making it happen each week. “This is grass-roots, handson support that the bank is delighted to be involved in,” Ms Brennan said. “It’s on the ground, really practical, really local and it’s really important.” UYSC Principal, Scott Tully, also thanked the River Valley Church and congratulated them saying 20,000 toasties was an amazing effort. “Our students really look forward to getting their toasties every Wednesday morning, more so in the cold winter months, when they are especially grateful to have something warm to eat when they get to school,” Mr Tully said. “We hope to see Brekky@ theBuses continuing for a very long time to come.”

9727 1914 My name is Monica O’Malley and I have been part of the dental industry for 24 years. Your New Dentist is a family friendly dental practice committed to personalised care and positive dental experiences for all ages. This year Dental Health Week is focusing on ‘ Women and Dental Health’ and the significant way that hormones can impact a woman’s oral health, an especially important topic is the significant impact that various life stages have on the health of their teeth and gums. 54% of women believe that pregnancy has no effect on their dental health while one in five don’t think you need to take any extra oral health care during this time.
At Designer Orthodontics, our specialist orthodontists Dr Robert Schwartz & Dr Devin Ong, provide personalised orthodontic care utilising the latest tech-niques including InvisalignTM, DamonTM & In-OvationTM ceramic (clear) or metal braces.
Life events like pregnancy, puberty and menopause, as well as menstruation, dramatically affect the state of a woman’s dental health. Throughout the course of Dental Health Week, we encourage all women to take a more proactive and preventive approach to their dental health as they’re educated on the ways their teeth, gums and mouth are affected during each of the pivotal phases of their life. I proudly challenge conventional stereotypes and I will positively revolutionise the way in which you think about, engage with and experience dental care.

OFTEN in modern, romantic relationships, there is a sense that when we meet ‘the one’ that we have found the panacea for all our woes. That together, we can approach the world with confidence and a sense that all will be well from now on. However, the reality is often that rather than being happier together, one or both partners are dragging down the relationship. And this compromises the fundamental basis of the partnership. It’s important as part of a couple that we understand that happiness starts with the individual. We must take responsibility for finding our own meaning and purpose in life and not just relying on our partner to fulfil all our needs. When we feel good about ourselves, we are adding value to the relationship and to the happiness and well-being of our partner.

AUSTRALIAN film buffs will have the chance to see three films from the 1930s at the Healesville Library, with a miniature film festival being held over three weeks. The library, on River Street near Coles, will be screening three musical films, The Hayseeds, His Royal Highness and A Ticket in Tatts, on Monday 15, 22 and 29 August. Team leader Sharon Waller said the event came about after a silent film screening for the

Highness is about a man who is knocked unconscious and dreams about being the King of Betonia; A Ticket in Tatts, meanwhile, is a comedy about a stableboy who befriends a racehorse who is the favourite to win the Melbourne Cup. Ms Waller said she hoped to get at least 20 people along to each screening, and that entry to all three films was $10. For more information or to book, visit the library at the Healesville Community Link at 110 River Street, Healesville, or call 9800 6497.

SO far, we’ve had two Batman movies this year; it’s a shame that neither is very good. In Batman: The Killing Joke, the Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum and sets in motion a diabolical plan to show how just one bad day can turn anyone insane. Adapted from Alan Moore’s iconic graphic novel, and given a one-night-only cinema run on 24 July before its home media release on 2 August, The Killing Joke ended up underwhelm-
ing and tedious. It’s great to see franchise mainstays Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill return as Batman and the Joker (respectively), but their characters are thinlywritten and one-note, and the dialogue is very heavy-handed in presenting the film’s themes of madness and self-control. The controversial, tacked-on prologue develops Batgirl (Tara Strong), Batman’s protege, in a rather superficial, sexualised way. While the backgrounds contain a beautiful synergy of hand-drawn animation and CGI, the character animation is
extremely stiff, even in the fight scenes. Numerous flashbacks show the tragic circumstances (his wife dying and a disfiguring chemical accident) that turned a mild-mannered comedian into the psychopathic Joker, but the film doesn’t spend enough time on Joker’s past for us to fully invest ourselves in it. As such, his ‘bad day’ feels oddly innocuous. For a superior animated Batman experience, watch The Dark Knight Returns or play the Arkham video games. -SETH LUKAS HYNES

Blast keeps scores down By JOHN WOOD WINTER’S icy blast greeted the shooters at the Woods Point Gun Club for the Matlock Championships, but many still arrived early on the Sunday morning, 24 July. Scores weren’t going to be high. The new system for the Eye Opener is working well with Rob Bevis and Mick Ward winning AA Grade; with Trevor Ewert A Grade, Josh Cleeland B Grade and David Frazer and Ron Press sharing the C Grade cash. The first event, 15 Pair Double Rise sponsored by the Stewart Bus Company, saw Bevis, 25/30, taking the Sash outright. In the Grades, Bevis won the AA Grade prize with Ward 2nd, 24/30. Dave Hoon won A Grade, 23/40 from Daniel Chinn, 22/40. Cleeland took B Grade, 22/30 with Peter West 2nd, 19/30, while Frazer was successful in C Grade and Eddy Poole at his first competition shoot, 31/50 beat Ron Press for C Grade 2nd. The main event was a 60-target Deauville Triples sponsored by Daniel and Jodie Poile. Teams of two shooters with three targets to shoot at, with only four shots total. Interesting and fun! Light drizzle and dark skies made the targets difficult but the husband and wife team of Daniel and Kirstin Chinn returned a great 53/60 to take the twin sashes, especially as this was only Kirsten’s second competition shoot. After a shoot-off, the team of Phillip Desmond/Tom Apps was 2nd, 63/75 from Trevor Ewert/Garry Ewert, 3rd 62/75. Fourth place was Rob Bevis/Mick Ward, 63/75 after shooting off against
Pictured, from left, are Peter West (Upper Yarra shooters), Rob Bevis, Kirsten Chinn and Daniel Chinn. 157354 Steve Bedggood and Peter West, 62/75. The day finished with a 20-target Continental Championship sponsored by Mansfield High Country Parts 4X4. Peter West shot the only perfect score of the day with 20/20 to wear the championship sash.
AA Grade winners were Bevis, 37/38 and Desmond 36/38. Daniel Chin took A Grade 18/20 from Tom Apps, 19/22, while West won B Grade 20/20, Josh Cleeland 2nd, 18/20.
Garry Ewert left his best for last to take C Grade, 19/20 from Steve Bedggood, 18/20. The Overall High Gun was well won by Rob Bevis 94/110 from Mick Ward, 93/110.
The next shoot is a team shoot at Mansfield Gun Club on Sunday, 21 August, 10.30am, followed by the Maori Creel Championships at Woods Point on Sunday, 28 August, at 10.30am. Call in and see what clay target shooting is all about.
Letters Tribute to Mardie I, ALONG with many Healesville residents was saddened by the news of Mardie’s death via the Mountain Views Mail FB page last week. I’m sure you’d be aware, without Mardie and her husband Harrie, there wouldn’t have been the Mountain Views newspaper, which in turn the Star News Group wouldn’t have the MVM newspaper today. As a teenager I remember reading the sporting pages only because you’d want to see who you knew in the local footy team (The Bloods) who had played well and scored goals, if you didn’t attend the game. During my late teens and early twenties the sporting section again was something I didn’t miss reading, because Healesville had its own female softball team, of which I was a member. After only two years we won our premiership! I still have the newspaper articles. As life went by there wasn’t a week that you didn’t pick up a copy of the paper. No matter what age, there was always something of interest in our local paper. Whether it was the sporting pages from my younger years, or during my early to mid-twenties seeing photos of friends’ weddings, a few years later the focus would be on the 'Hello Possums’ section of the paper; where nearly every birth from the Healesville Hospital was announced along with a photo of mum and babe. Unfortunately the bad news had to be reported too; from bushfires to local deaths. To read about older local identities was always sad, but seemed OK because they’d lived full and happy lives.
There were, tragically, too many young lives lost on the roads. The most tragic and horrific was the night five of my best school friends were killed by another friend from our schooling days. They all lost their lives in what was one of Victoria's first multiple road fatalities from drinkdriving. Mardie’s reporting of this horrific part of Healesville’s history was written with compassion and care. From the reporting of such deaths, there was always an obituary written by the MV inclusive of family and friends’ stories. News businesses also received a great write-up under the 'New Faces’ banner. As I got older and my interests changed so did my interest in other items of news in local politics, from council decisions to local elections; because as a home owner they affected me and I was quite interested in what was going on. There was a time of residents’ frustration of how things were done, so much so the Healesville and Residents and Ratepayers Association was formed. From being a member and wanting to be a part of change, I eventually put myself up to be elected as a local councillor and was successful. Other big news stories in Healesville were when the Healesville Waterworks Trust was replaced by the MMBW, the closing of the Healesville Railway Station and train line to Lilydale. The 'Healesville Streetscape Plan’, a huge renovation of the main street, from ageing paths and trees of poor health to what you see today, as well as the end of the Shire of Healesville and the amalgamation of others to the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
My letter may seem like a compacted version of a few decades of Healesville’s history. All of this and much, much more has forever been preserved in print, archived by our historical society. This has only occurred because of Mardie and Harrie’s dedication and commitment to their community newspaper. It eventually cost them everything (literally). I can only speak personally of Healesville, but, I’m sure every person who’s not only lived in Healesville, but the surrounding areas covered by the paper over the years had an occasion or article published in the MV that included them or their family. I’d like to make a formal request for the Star News Group to publish a 'special edition’ or a 'wrap’ about Mardie and Harrie’s commitment to producing a truly local community newspaper. I think as a community we at least owe her that as a final 'thankyou’ that we should have said while she/they were here. Robyn Johnson, Healesville.
The real need FROM watching the recent Four Corners program concerning the treatment of inmates at a Darwin detention centre, it was obvious the majority were Aboriginal. This was an exposure thanks to the ABC that should shock and disgust all Australians. Jailing people and brutalising them will achieve nothing positive; all we will achieve is releasing youths into society with bitter and antisocial feelings. I have always held the view “do the crime, do the time”, irrespective of race, religion or colour.
What needs to be done? My opinion is that improved education is the only way up for these youths from the poorer socio-economic families. Governments should direct as much effort and finance into this policy, in time this will save taxpayers money. Where will the money come from? I can only express views I have held for over 26 years. I clearly remember writing to Mountain Views stating less money for projects for urban Aboriginals and redirection of funds to projects for the remote Aboriginals. Having travelled throughout Australia on four occasions, I can assure readers remote Aboriginals’ needs are far greater than the part-Aboriginal living in Yarra Ranges Shire. How the urban Aboriginals can continue to put their hand out for more taxpayers’ assistance without any thought for the Aboriginals in the northern part of Australia, to me, is incomprehensible. No doubt they have never been there. While there have been millions of dollars invested in projects for a small number of partAboriginals, I ask what benefit has it been to the relevant towns and the people? I suggest none. The old Army School in Healesville has been a disaster; Galeena Beek at Badger Creek, a disaster, the old Forest Commission on Maroondah Highway, a disaster, and the last time I viewed Coranderrk station while visiting the cemetery, it appeared they were growing blackberry crops. Finally, how thankful we are to have the ABC to expose such atrocious acts by prison officers. Ray Donkin, Healesville.

Finals race is heating up By CAMERON HUTCHISON WINDY conditions played havoc with some games on the weekend. Olinda Ferny Creek and Healesville are battling it out in second and third position. Monbulk have a realistic chance to make the finals; and no more than next week when they take on WarburtonMillgrove, while fifth-place UpweyTecoma have to play ladder leaders Wandin. Division 2 is extremely tight, with all games next week affecting the ladder. Alexandra take on Seville which are playing for their season, but, likewise, Alexandra are flying and want to stay in the top three. It is probably Powelltown’s last chance and must get a win over Kinglake to keep their finals hopes alive. Yarra Glen need to come off the bye in good form as they host Yea, and can Yarra Junction be a thorn in the side of Gembrook three weeks out from finals. Division 1 Seniors Football Olinda Ferny Creek 15.19 (109) d Emerald 10.6 (66) Olinda hold onto second spot after a solid performance against Emerald on Saturday. Emerald started off really well, kicking five goals-to-four in the first and taking a five-point lead into the second quarter. Olinda were a bit shell-shocked; and even though they outscored Emerald in the second quarter, they only took a four-point lead into half-time. Olinda lifted a notch in the third, kicking 2.5 to 1.1 and 5.6 to 1.1 in the last quarter to win by 43 points. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: D. Rohrmann (3 goals), M. Hottes, N. Broomhall (3 goals), D. Wilson (1 goal), B. Shaw, N. Keegan (2 goals) Emerald Best: M. Steer, L. McKenna (1 goal), C. Thomsen, P. White (1 goal), D. Volta, C. Jones (3 goals) Woori Yallock 22.13 (145) d Warburton Millgrove 2.3 (15) Warburton had a dirty day out when they could only manage two goals against a rampaging Woori Yallock. Woori Yallock are only one game from second spot and are finding form when it counts. Warburton have had a season of ups and downs, and this is one of the downers. They failed to kick a goal in the first while Woori Yallock put their stamp on the game with an impressive 7.2. Warburton were never going to make up the difference as they had no one that could match it with Marcus Baxter (8 goals) or Ben Monkhorst (5 goals). Woori led at half-time by 59 points and extended that lead to 85 points at three quarter time as Woori run out 130-point winners. Woori Yallock Best: M. Lowe (1 goal), M. Baxter (8 goals), B. Mc Donald, J. Adams (1 goal), B. Monkhorst (5 goals), M. Batten Warburton Millgrove Best: T. Walker, T. McKail, L. James, P. Sharp, J. Mullan, T. Marr Monbulk 19.13 (127) d Upwey Tecoma 12.14 (86) Monbulk have kept their finals hopes alive with a confidence boosting win over fifth-placed Upwey-Tecoma. With Upwey playing Wandin and Monbulk playing Warburton next week, it should be game on for fifth spot for the last three rounds. Monbulk got the early break in the first by kicking 5.6 to 2.3, with another six goals-to-five in the second having them, going into the main break with a 12-point advantage. Michael Langworthy was causing issues for Upwey up forward, while
Daniel Ward proved a good foil for him. Monbulk came out and piled on seven goals-to-two to put the game out of Upwey’s reach in the third quarter. The last quarter was pretty much keepings off for the whole 30 minutes with the hosts securing an impressive 41-point win. Monbulk Best: C. Sharpe (2 goals), M. Langworthy (6 goals), J. Mohr (1 goal), J. Rak, P. Berge (1 goal), S. Williams (1 goal) Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Hackett (2 goals), I. Krijt, T. Robinson (2 goals), B. Oates, J. Hevern, B. Sheppard (2 goals) Healesville 17.16 (118) d Mount Evelyn 13.11 (89) This game was looming to be a long day for Mount Evelyn, but they managed to almost kick their entire score from last week in the first quarter. Healesville had nine scoring shotsto-three in the first, but were a bit wasteful and only took a 16-point lead into the second quarter. Mount Evelyn certainly had something to prove after last week, and took Healesville by complete surprise in the second with good teamwork and direct avenues to goal. They kicked 6.3 to 3.5 to even the ledger at half time. Robbie Hartfield and Simon Gordon were proving to be major targets for the respective sides. Mount Evelyn really did some soul searching at half-time as they came out and continued the type of play they displayed in the second quarter, outscoring Healesville by six points to take a lead into the last. The question was: ‘Could they maintain it?’ The last quarter was a bit of a seesaw game for the first 15 minutes, but then Healesville’s young brigade kicked into gear, helping them kick six goals-to-nil in the last to secure a 29-point win. Healesville Best: S. Gordon (6 goals), A. Hamer (1 goal), N. Mende, B. Murphy, A. Davies (2 goals), C. Warren Mount Evelyn Best: R. Cowan (2 goal), R. Hartfield (5 goals), L. Francis, G. Gosland, D. Kift, S. Martin Wandin 14.11 (95) d Belgrave 12.18 (90) Many would not have tipped such a close game especially at the Kennel. These two battled it out all day, with Belgrave leading for most of the day. Wandin had the slimmest of leads at quarter time but the only time they held the lead was at final siren time. Belgrave were wasteful in front of goal in the second, kicking 3.7 to 3.2. Their lead could have been possibly uncatchable if they had kicked straight. They extended their lead to eight points at three quarter time, but again were not capitalising on their forward 50 entries kicking 4.6 to 4.2. However, Wandin were finally able to get it going through the aid of Scott Dwyer in the last, kicking 4.3-to-2.2 to secure a thrilling five-point win. Wandin Best: M. Fowkes, J. Glenn (4 goals), J. Myers (1 goal), M. Shanks (1 goal), S. Dwyer (5 goals), J. Ladner Belgrave Best: R. Matthews, J. Brown, T. Stubley (3 goals), P. Gough (1 goal), J. Pearce, B. Fitzgerald (1 goal) Division 2 Seniors Football Powelltown 11.13 (79) d Gembrook Cockatoo 10.8 (68) Powelltown continue on their hunt for finals by taking the scalp of Gembrook on Saturday. They are now sitting equal fifth and have been very good over the last couple of weeks. Gembrook have dropped to fourth, with only one game away from top spot.
Olinda Ferny Creek did the job against Emerald over the weekend. 157474 Picture: JAY TRACY
Gembrook hit the scoreboard in the first, taking a 12-point lead at quartertime. Powelltown swung into gear in the second, kicking 4.4-to-2.4 to even the score at 5.7 each at half-time. However, Gembrook were able to hold them scoreless in the third, putting four goals on the board in the third quarter to lead by 24 points at threequarter time. Despite the 24-point lead heading into the third quarter, Powelltown were able to dig deep in the last, kicking 6.6to-1.1 to come away with an 11-point win. Powelltown Best: Jason Walker, J. Moore, N. Moody (1 goal), Jonnie Walker (1 goal), G. Newing, S. Sanders Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: A. Shipp (4 goals), C. Vernal, S. Martin, P. Gramc (3 goals), M. Maddison, A. Mitchell Kinglake 19.22 (136) d Thornton Eildon 5.7 (37) Another tough day at the office for Thornton on Saturday. They were held scoreless in the first, while Kinglake piled on 9.8 to take a 62-point lead into the second quarter. Thornton fought back in the second, kicking 3.2 to 2.3 to outscore Kinglake. Robert Mallison and Luke Forsyth were certainly making it difficult for Thornton to defend with Kinglake kicking 6.7 in the third with Kinglake to defeat Thornton Eildon by 99 points. Kinglake Best: R. Mallison (6 goals), A. Whelan (1 goal), E. Robinson (1 goal), B. Robinson (1 goal), J. Harward, L. Forsyth (5 goals) Thornton Eildon Best: J. Strachan, A. Reddan (1 goal), Z. King, B. Musgrove, R. Andrews (1 goal), J. Mitchell Yarra Junction 17.16 (118) d Seville 11.12 (78) Yarra Junction have pushed Seville down to sixth on the ladder and only hanging on slimly to a final five berth. Seville had a 20-point lead into the second quarter after kicking six goals to two in the first. Scoring shots were the same, but Yarra Junction wasted their opportunities. Seville stopped in their tracks in the second while the Eagles kicked 6.3 to take a slim lead of four points into the main break. Yarra Junction really turned it on
after the half-time break, kicking 9.8 to get a win of 40 points. Yarra Junction Best: W. Robertson (1 goal), J. Black, B. Wragg, E. Wadsworth, T. Wheeler (5 goals), T. Hancock (1 goal) Seville Best: J. Neal (2 goals), J. Bourke-Finn, L. O’Keefe, A. Wind, A. Mammoliti, G. Teunissen Alexandra 8.6 (54) d Yea 6.10 (46) Alexandra have jumped to equal top of the ladder, but sit third on percentage after a big win over Yea. Yea sit fifth and in a very precarious position. Alexandra continued on their good form from last week, kicking four straight in the first to Yea’s three behinds. Alexandra looked on from the outset and Yea had no answers. They did manage to keep Alexandra to 1.5 to their one goal in the second, but it was not enough to make any inroads to Alexandra’s time. They outscored them in the third, kicking 2.3-to one-goal, but the lead was still 17 points at three- quarter time. Alexandra again was outscored in the last quarter by 10 points, but the damage was done early and Alexandra hung on to secure an eight-point win. Alexandra Best: S. Heveren, J. Purcell, S.

Tex day all the way WEDNESDAY, 27 July: Stableford: On a drying course, scoring has become a little easier. Taking full advantage of the improved conditions, Tex Van Der Kooi accumulated 39 impressive points to win the day. The runner-up to Tex was ‘Mr Consistent’, Steuart Hawke, with 35. The balls only went to 34. The nearest the pins on the day went to Alan Johnston (3rd), Mick Eldridge (12th) and Allan Hubbard (17th).
Saturday, 30 July: PAR: If you win the competition on a PAR day, you know you have played well! It is most golfers’ least favourite regular competition. So, it needs to be recorded here that Andy Lockey is one of the most regular par winners. He has done it again on Saturday, with a well-constructed +2, which means Andy has played 2 better than his handicap of 12. Good work, Andy!
Runner-up to Andy was Warren ‘Butch’ Hollis who also scored a +2, but lost on a countback. The balls extended to -1. Finally, the nearest the pins for the day were won by Ossie McClay (3rd), Ben Leavey (5th), Wayne ‘Kempo’ Kempton (9th) and Ray ‘Happy’ Gilmore, who snared both the 12th and the 15th; a fine effort as they are both tough Par 3s!

Cross countr y By JAMIE STRUDLEY YARRA Ranges Athletics annual Handicap Cross Country was held in Coldstream on Saturday morning. The clear skies betrayed the very soft ground from the rain during the week, but that didn’t stop runners from racing hard. The unique racing format saw runners given a starting time based on their performances from races during the season. Club handicappers worked hard to give all athletes the chance to be first across the finish-line. The early starters ran strongly to try and hold off the fast finishing back markers, who had a rare chance to chase the field. The rotunda on the hill in Margaret Lewis Reserve was a popular spot for spectators to watch the races unfold and to provide the customary enthusiastic cheers for all runners. Event place getters were: Under 6s Girls 500m: 1st Charlotte Spiteri, 2nd Maddie Cannon, 3rd Sinead Willey Under 6s Boys 500m: 1st Sam Laven, 2nd Mathew Tartaglia Under 7 and 8s Girls 1000m: 1st Kaylah Cannon, 2nd Stephanie Van Bemmel, 3rd Zoe Clarke Under 7 and 8s Boys 1000m: 1st Harvey Kane, 2nd Anthony Targtalia, 3rd William Spiteri Under 9 and10s Girls 1500m: 1st Ciara Willey, 2nd Cassie Lennon, 3rd Annabelle Tyquin Under 9 and10s Boys 1500m:

Motoring Get your (old) motors runnin’ By KATH GANNAWAY IF THE romance of vintage cars makes your heart miss a beat, and the thrill of the racetrack gets your motor running, Rob Roy Historic Hill Climb is the place to be on Sunday, 14 August. See real vintage cars, with not necessarily vintage drivers, pitting their horsepower and skill against each other on the course that for more than 80 years has thrilled car and motor bike enthusiasts alike. The Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC) will host the second round of the Triple Cup Challenge in what promises to be a spectacular event on one of the most picturesque tracks in Victoria. Rob Roy started out as Clintons Pleasure Grounds in the early '20s where Mac Clinton’s Shetland pony rides were one of the favourite attractions. At the time of construction, Rob Roy was one of only three bitumensurfaced, purpose-built hill climbs in the world, along with Shelsley Walsh and Prescott in the UK. Its origins go back to 1935 when representatives of the then Light Car Club of Australia inspected the property with a view to establishing a suitable value for hill climb meetings. The track commences on a slight incline, proceeds through a sharp right turn, which originally passed a rusty iron shed - its memory is perpetuated
in the name Tin Shed Corner. It follows down a slight incline to a level stretch along the top of an embankment holding back a half-acre dam, then rears up a one-in-three gradient. The track then winds its way uphill through a series of left turns to the finish line. Start to finish, it’s a thrilling 695 metres. The first meeting was run on 1 February 1937, and the track was fully bitumenised in 1939. Over the years nine Australian Hill Climb Championships have been held there. Outright and class record holders who have raced there over the years include eight Australian Grand Prix winners and one Triple F1 World Champion in Jack Brabham. The track fell into disuse after the 1962 bushfires ravaged the area and in 1992 was brought back into operation by the MG Car Club. Following the ‘Return to Rob Roy” Historic Meeting in 1993 the track has gone from strength to strength. The VSCC Rob Roy Hill Climb coming up is an all pre-war event of fascinating and unique machines that provide a great opportunity to look and talk to the creators, owners and drivers of these exciting vehicles. Celebrating the 20th year that Vintage Sports Club have organised this
Daniel Zampatti with an MG P Type which won both the Australian and the Victor Centenary Grand Prix Picture: ROB CAREW events in 1935. 156781 event in this unique facility, VSCC secretary, Mark Zampatti, said it was a fabulous day out. “It’s a race against time and against your class,” he said. “The different classes depend on the cars’ characteristics making for some great racing.” He said for the spectators, it is also a spectacular event and a great day out.
“You have the chance to walk among the cars when they’re not on the hill, there are display cars, food, soft drinks and it’s a great day, even for those who are not avid car enthusiasts,” Mr Zampatti said. Rob Roy Hill Climb is on Clinton’s Road at Christmas Hills (Melway Ref 264 K7). Gates open at 8am with competition starting at 11.30am and a children’s billy cart race at 1pm.
Entry for spectators is $15 per car for two people, with $5 charge for additional passengers. It is a dog-free event. For more information contact Daniel Zampatti on 0407 544 627 or Mark Burns on 0417 002 892, or visit www. vintagesportscarclub.org.au.
