“And made a wine I always thought was impossible – a Shiraz Pinot Noir in the Yarra Valley. She was the very first to do it and it’s just a beautiful wine. A marriage made in heaven.” The James Halliday 2017 Wine Companion, which features all the award-winners and notes on more than 1300 Australian wines, was released on Thursday, 4 August.

The winery scored strongly in the Companion, with the Yarra Yering Carrodus Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, named after winery founder Dr Bailey Carrodus, receiving scores of 99/100. “She has done a fabulous job with what was her first full vintage. Just an amazing, amazing job,” Mr Halliday said.

comes in Ms Crowe’s 15th year in the industry, after starting out at Brokenwood Wines in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley. She came to the Yarra Valley after 12 years of working in the vineyards and then as a winemaker, and has been at the helm of Yarra Yering for the last three years. The process for making wines at the winery, she said, is intensive, with the

GRUYERE'S Sarah Crowe is the first woman to be named wine critic James Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year, with the Yarra Yering winemaker receiving the top honour in a ceremony on 3 August. Ms Crowe, 41, received the honour at a ceremony launching the 2017 Halliday Wine Companion, where top wines and winemakers from around the country are acknowledged with awards from the famed writer. This year’s awards mark the first time a woman has won the Winemaker of the Year Award, which Ms Crowe said was an “inspirational” moment. “First of all, winning it because of somebody respecting your work is a great personal achievement, and it’s an amazing achievement for everyone here at Yarra Yering – particularly the guys who work in the vineyard,” she said. “They work hard and deliver beautiful grapes – and I can’t make good wine if I don’t have good grapes. “But, for women in the industry as well, I guess it’s inspirational. Anything’s possible if you love what you do.” She said that women made up about “10 per cent” of the industry’s winemakers, and that she would like to see those numbers shift. “Often, when I do wine dinners and even last night (at the wine awards), you’d be surprised at how many women will come up to me and say, ‘It’s so refreshing to see a female winemaker. Are there any others?’ – it’s a bit of a novelty,” Ms Crowe said. “A lot of people don’t think about it, but it happens all the time. “I have a lot of amazing female winemaking friends and ... possibly because it is a male-dominated industry, I think we probably work harder to try and compensate and, I guess, to prove that we can hold our own a little bit.” The Winemaker of the Year Award

By KATH GANNAWAY STAGE two of the dismantling of the historic Woori Yallock bridge is scheduled to begin later this month. VicRoads Director of Operations, Michael Barker, thanked motorists last week for their cooperation during diversions as demolition of the main structure was carried out in June. The 90-year old bridge which went out of service in 2003 when it was replaced by a new bridge, was classified by the National Trust in 2011 as of historic, technical, social and aesthetic significance at a regional level. One of the most challenging aspects of the job was the removal of huge steel beams that were made in Great Britain and have stood the test of time.

Thanking VicRoads for the donation, he said they were one of a number of large organisations and companies, including Telstra and Ford Australia who were involved in volunteering and other aspects of supporting the railway. “Everybody seems to be behind the railway being rebuilt and we need, and are grateful for, all the help we can get with surplus materials,” Mr Whelan said. It is anticipated that work to complete the removal of the Woori Yallock bridge will take place around the end of August or early September and will once again require road and lane closures during daytime hours on the Healesville Kooweerup Road.

The beams will continue their contribution to bridging gaps in the ‘Mother Country’ as part of the Yarra Valley Railway (YVR). YVR Vice President, Brett Whelan said the donation was another great example of how the railway could utilise items that might be otherwise considered of no useful purpose. “We have very clear examples of the railway using beams that have come off old railway and road bridges,” Mr Whelan said. Five sections of bridge beams that have been fully restored by YVR volunteers will be lifted into place later this year at the Tarrawarra Abbey and Tarrawarra Estate bridges. Mr Whelan said beams that had been in place for 60, 70 or 80 years, if kept maintained

age of 694.3mm. In Hoddles Creek, Doug Armstrong recorded 132mm over 16 days compared with 136mm over 23 days in 2015. His January to July figures told a different story, with 719mm this year against 630mm in 2015. Average Hoddles Creek July rainfall since 1987 is 118mm. In Healesville, Alma Mitch-

ell recorded 81.5mm over 25 days in July compared with 98.6mm over the same number of days in July 2015. As at the end of the month, Mr Thomas said Melbourne’s storage dams were showings the effect of average or below average rainfall, currently holding 1,130,356 million litres, or 62.4 per cent of capacity.

Gifts keep giving By JESSE GRAHAM COMMUNITY groups from Healesville and its surrounds will be able to fund new projects, following thousands of dollars in donations from the Healesville Walk Shopping Centre. Healesville Walk centre manager Maree Abbott visited the area on Wednesday 27 July to present cheques to the Rotary Club of Healesville, the Badger Creek and District Men’s Shed and Share the Dignity, worth a total $6000. The money will fund a program to support locals affected by family violence through Rotary; a chair-lift for members of the Men’s Shed; and supplying hygiene products to vulnerable women through Share the Dignity. Healesville Walk’s marketing manager Melanie Brown told the Mail the amount given to the groups was decided by shoppers, with tokens given out with each visit to be put into one of three boxes, representing the groups. Rotary received the most tokens, and received $3000, while the Men’s Shed came second and received $2000 and Share the Dignity received $1000. “The community actually decided how the funds would be distributed,” Ms Brown said.

support the community. “I mean, $3000 is a drop in the ocean, but ... it gets it out there, gets people talking about it, and maybe people who may be a little timid about coming forward now know there’s somewhere they can go.” Men’s Shed president John Layton said the money would finish off fund-raising for a chair lift for members to access the mezzanine level of the shed once works are complet-

ed on a multi-purpose room. The Healesville Walk money will be added to funds the group had received from the RACV Healesville Country Club and the Lions Club of Healesville. Ms Brown said the $1000 for Share the Dignity will be used to buy hygiene products from Coles in Healesville, which will then be distributed to women living in vulnerable situations.

In it for the long run By JESSE GRAHAM A HEALESVILLE runner will be taking on a mammoth marathon to raise money for cancer research and support later this month, running 100 kilometres around the Tan Track in Melbourne. Heather Christie will be taking part in the Tan Ultra marathon, on Sunday 14 August, where runners will do laps of the Botanical Gardens’ Tan Track in legs of four, 12, 21, 42, 50 and 100 kilometres. Ms Christie, who runs the Healesville Fitness Centre with her sister, will be running the full 100km - some 26 laps of the track - in 12 hours. Though she has experience in running marathons in the past, Ms Christie said she had not taken part in running events since taking over the gym almost two years ago. “I just needed something to focus on, something to show people what you can do if you really want to, and to raise some funds for something as well,” Ms Christie said. Though one dollar from every entrant’s

fee will go towards CanTeen, Ms Christie has also sought donations for her run and raised more than $1000 towards a $1200 goal. She said she had been training for the Tan Ultra for the past 14 weeks, but that it would still be a “mental challenge”. Though her running mates from the gym were not taking part in the race with her, Ms Christie said she will be bringing a team of supporters to keep her running - and keep her from boredom - over the 12-hour run. “Each lap, they’re going to do something different to keep me entertained,” she said. Healesville’s Janet Bridgart, who told the Mail about Ms Christie’s run, said the race would be a “massive physical and mental effort” to help fund CanTeen. “Heather is an incredible athlete, passionate about this issue (and) training hard for this event,” she said. CanTeen provides counselling and support for young people living with cancer. For more information on the Tan Ultra,

Briefly Arrest over on-field assault

who may have had a similar experience to contact Healesville police on 5962 4422.

A MAN is set to face multiple assault charges over an alleged incident during the Wandin and Healesville senior football match on Saturday 23 July. Knox police Senior Constable Angelo Stylianou said a man had been arrested and questioned over an on-field incident which left Wandin Bulldogs player Robbie Ross, 29, in need of surgery. Ross suffered multiple facial fractures and severe concussion after allegedly being hit by another player. Sen Const Stylianou said the exact charges the man would face had not been determined yet, but he would receive a summons in the coming days. Police have launched an investigation and called for witnesses to the incident. AFL Yarra Ranges general manager Luke McCormick said even with charges being laid, the league would continue their external investigation. Mr McCormick said the player could request an adjournment before an incident headed to the tribunal, in the case where charges or legal proceedings were involved. No request from the player has been made. Ross had surgery on Friday 29 July, and Mr McCormick believed he was recovering well, with talk that he may return later this year. For the record, Wandin won the match by 50 points.

Woman hospitalised after pileup

Jog in pairs plea POLICE are asking joggers to be wary at night, after a 13-year-old girl was approached and followed by a man over the weekend. Leading Senior Constable Chris Hickey told the Mail that about 5.20pm on Saturday 6 August, the girl was jogging on Ryans Road near Margaret Road in Healesville, when a white sedan with faded paint passed her on the road. The car then made a U-turn and pulled up alongside the girl, with the driver telling the girl to get into the car. Leading Sen Const Hickey said the girl ignored the man and ran home, with the car following her before driving away - the girl’s family immediately contacted the police. He suggested that people should run in pairs at night, particularly when in remote locations, and change their running routine - or carry personal alarms for use in an emergency. There was no description of the man, except that he had an Australian accent, and Leading Sen Const Hickey urged anyone

Six face court after siege SIX men will be facing court after a siege in Mooroolbark last week, with one facing attempted murder charges over an aggravated burglary in Lilydale. At 9am on Wednesday 3 August, police executed a warrant in Mooroolbark, to arrest a 33-yearold man over an aggravated burglary in Lilydale last month. However, the man armed himself with a knife and refused to leave the Hayrick Lane property, resulting in a two-hour stand-off with police. The man, of no fixed place of abode, was then capsicum sprayed and tasered by police before being arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder and aggravated burglary, among other charges. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit Detective Acting Sergeant, Rod Newbery, said that five other people at the house were also arrested for unrelated matters. A 39-year-old Box Hill man was charged with burglary, theft and breaching bail conditions; a 29-year-old man of no fixed place of abode was charged with failing to answer bail and interviewed about outstanding warrants; a 29-year-old Mooroolbark man was charged with two counts of theft; a 28-year-old Kilsyth man was charged with obtaining property by deception and dealing in proceeds of crime; a 23-year-old Narre Warren man was charged and bailed, while a 35-year-old Collingwood man was released without charge. The man charged with attempted murder has not applied for bail, and has been remanded in custody to face court at a later date.

Newswoman’s passion for print By KATH GANNAWAY MARDI Lambert’s legacy to the Yarra Valley is in the pages of the newspaper she was instrumental in founding in 1979. Still read every week as the Mountain Views Mail and the Upper Yarra Mail, the Mountain Views Newspaper was her vision, her love and her life for 17 memorable years. As family, friends and community members gathered to celebrate Mardi’s life on 27 July at Heritage Funeral Home in Woori Yallock, there were tears, laughter and more than a few ‘wow!’ moments as friends and family, myself included, paid tribute to her trailblazing life. Marjorie Petering was born on Boxing Day 1929 to Tran Petering and Lilian Wyatt Petering and grew up with her younger brother Norman in Box Hill. She went to Mont Albert Central School and then to Camberwell Girls’ Grammar where she was an enthusiastic and clever student. Thanks to her life-long habit of never throwing anything out that remotely resembled paper, her story is well documented in everything from a high school project on Russia, sketches and magazine advertisements from her days in advertising, newspaper cuttings reflecting her interest in social justice, politics, world affairs and the quirky side of life in general. Mardi and Norman were members of the Marcian Players Theatre Group in their younger days and bundles of theatre, film and opera programs shed light on her life-long love of music, theatre, literature and art. In the late ’50s and early ’60s she worked in Melbourne’s exciting new world of advertising, starting at Myer where she wrote the ‘What’s New at Myer’ column in the Sun, and later with the trend-setting Paton Advertising Agency alongside the likes of Phillip Adams and Fred Schepsi. She went on to become Copy Chief and Creative Director with Nixon Compton Advertising. From 1962 to 1964 she travelled the world living and working in London, hitchhiking, railing, scootering and push-biking through Europe and sailing through the Suez Canal and exploring exotic places such as Cairo and Ceylon. Mardi and Norman bought a bushblock on the edge of Badger Weir and used it as a bush escape for family and friends until Mardi met and married Harrie in 1967. They built their dream home and in 1970 adopted son Tom and two years later a daughter, Liz. Most of all in terms of Mardi’s Healesville era, there are the pages of Mountain Views to draw on – including a faded copy of the first edition – 11 July 1979. It set the tone for the future focusing on local issues, local people, local businesses and local institutions. Then there are Mardi’s own words as a record of how the paper came about, how it progressed, and the many people who contributed in various roles over the years. It was a unique model with tremendous community support, including many volunteers, in the early days. “So many people were barracking for us,” Mardi said in the 10th birthday edition. “People were hugging me in the street, delighted to have a real community newspaper again.” In fact, Mardi’s reporting on Healesville matters started in the early ’70s when she took on her first assignment with Maroondah Associated Newspapers as Badger Creek correspondent for the Yarra Valley News. In a 1991 nomination for Lions Citizen of the Year Award by fellow newspaperman and historian Les Harsant, he said it was her ideal and her energy that powered the founding of the paper and noted that with two young children

On the job with Harrie in the later years of Mountain Views. there was an enormous sacrifice of family and personal life. “The editorial responsibility for a local newspaper meant working long hours, often seven days a week, with enormous pressure to meet the relentless deadlines and unbelievable demands on physical, emotional and intellectual energies.” In a letter to the Mail last week, Healesville resident and former Healesville Shire councillor Robyn Johnson summed up what it meant to a generation growing up in the Mardi era of Mountain Views. “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-20s 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,” she wrote. When six young people were killed in one horrible crash in 1984, she said Mardi’s reporting was written with compassion and care. “That was her trade mark, and it was very much her approach to life.” She reflected on various roles of Mountain Views from obituaries to verbatim council reports and tracking the progress of the town to local politics and shire amalgamation. Among all of that, she created the Big Noter Calendar which paid for the family summer holiday and thanks to two local women is still being produced each year for those die-hard fans who just couldn’t live without it. I worked with Mardi from 1985 to 1992 – the best of times and, in some ways, the worst. The paper struggled financially and it wasn’t your typical office – it was old school, old equipment, crazy hours, but there was a shared sense of purpose and pride in producing a much-loved

newspaper against the odds. There was also a sense of family. With mainly young mums making up the workforce when I started, it was very much a mix of after-school care and juggling and sharing work and family commitments. My overwhelming memory of those times is of laughter and friendship with Mardi as a mentor and friend, as well as a boss. She was an inspiration – generous, intelligent, funny, warm and loving. She was enormously resilient and exemplified what it means to value substance over style – content was always more important than looks and, paradoxically, actions always spoke louder than words. Daughter Liz and son Tom paid tribute to their mum with heartfelt recollections on growing up with Mardi in the Mountain Views era and a realisation as adults that their mum was indeed an amazing person. In an at times humorous tribute, Tom painted a picture that many would be familiar with – a frenetic lifestyle with no hidden agendas. “What you saw with mum was what you got and there were never any grudges,” he said. He spoke of holidays at the beach, hiding below window height as mum Mardi dropped them at school – unfurling hair rollers with one hand and sipping tea from the cup on the dash as she waved them off and headed for the office. On behalf of the Mail Newspaper Group, part owner Hartley Higgins sent a tribute from overseas saying Mardi would be remembered for her formative local reporting and passionate advocacy on behalf of the Healesville and Yarra Valley communities. “She and Harrie put the community first; they maintained the production of Mountain Views at times against the odds while committing personal resources to the paper to their own detriment,” he said.

Mardi Lambert. 26 December 1929 - 20 July 2016. “Mardi’s role not only chronicled Healesville’s news and opinions, some of which remain controversial; her years as editor have also left a faithful record of the region’s progress and history.” Perhaps the greatest tribute was the constant line of people looking over the four or five bound copies of Moun-

tain Views, including the first and last editions, at the service. Mardi succumbed to Alzheimer’s disease and spent her final years in the care of Monda Lodge and Holmwood Aged Care in Healesville where she passed away on 20 July 2016. She is survived by Tom, Liz and her much loved grandson, Xaine.

Staff concerns for ‘at risk’ Cire kids By KATH GANNAWAY

Tim Perrin, winemaker from Oakridge, is the top of his class. 157194 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Top marks for winemaker Tim By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS OAKRIDGE winery winemaker Tim Perrin has achieved top marks and named dux of the Advanced Wine Assessment Course (AWAC). The four-day intensive course prepares new wine show judges and further develops the skills of wine professionals. Mr Perrin said he was very glad he undertook the course, and learned a lot through these studies. “It has given me a greater appreciation for how I approach my wine making,” he said. “Completing the AWAC has been

one of the best exercises I have undertaken for sharpening up my own palate and has allowed me to look at wines with greater focus and precision.” Because of his top marks and performance during the course, Mr Perrin will have an associate judging position at the 2016 Royal Adelaide Wine Show. Oakridge chief winemaker David Bicknell said Mr Perrins was a great asset to the winery. “It is a great result for Tim and we look forward to him having a lasting contribution to our winemaking,” he said.

FORMER employees of Cire Services in Yarra Junction and Mount Evelyn have spoken out about their concerns for the welfare and future of ‘at risk’ students at the Cire Community School in the face of recent staff cuts. In a statement from Cire, however, Committee of Management President Ric Butler said the organisation’s sole concern was for the students’ welfare and advancement. Mr Butler said the recent changes had been carefully considered, designed and implemented to advance student outcomes. The redundancy of two full-time welfare workers and four support workers came after Upper Yarra Community House rebranded as ‘Cire’. The community school was established under UYCH to accommodate students who have not engaged with mainstream schooling. Teacher Andy Stuart resigned after the cuts saying the lack of support for teachers in the classroom made his job untenable. Mr Stuart said people had enrolled thinking they are getting critical welfare and teacher support. “That is no longer the case,” he said. “It’s a challenging environment and it seems counter-productive to pull out the staff who are essential to what the school aims to do.” Support worker Tony Aulich’s position was also made redundant. He has been involved for more than 20 years as a volunteer, paid worker and board member. “I am very much in touch with the heartbeat that the organisation had,” Mr Aulich said.

“It still has a lot of wonderful people working for it, but anyone on the staff will tell you that for a lot of these kids, just adjusting and readapting to a classroom setting is difficult, and it puts the teachers under a lot of strain. “They have to be very caring and patient, so for teachers to do that on their own, and not have welfare on hand to support kids who are dealing with a whole range of different issues in their lives, leaves the cupboard pretty bare.” Another employee who asked not to be named because of the possible impact on their future employment said she was devastated to be told with just a few days’ notice that her job as a student wellbeing officer at Mount Evelyn just didn’t exist anymore. She said the range of issues students faced, ranging from poor literacy, mental health and substance abuse to homelessness and pregnancy, made the welfare and support roles critical to helping them stay in education. “It was my job to work out what their actual needs are, hook into services and, if needed, take kids to those services,” she said. All three were critical of the lack of prior consultation on the changes, and short notice of the redundancies, saying there was no opportunity to prepare the students, or remaining teachers, for the impact of losing people that both groups had come to rely on. Cire declined to comment of a number of claims made by former employees and put to the organisation by the Mail. They included claims that there was no prior consultation or input into the changes, that Cire’s vision was for a ‘school of choice’ rather than a school of last resort – which they say it had been

for many, that the redundancies were financially motivated, that the current CEO had never visited classrooms at either campus, that the current management was out of touch and that there had been resignations from the board. The Independent Education Union has confirmed to the Mail that it took Cire to the Fair Work Commission over failure to comply with obligations under the award “to engage in meaningful consultation”. Mr Butler rejected concerns about the vision of the organisation, but did not comment on other matters raised citing ‘privacy of students and staff’. He said despite the structure and name change, the organisation’s vision and commitment to high quality education, with a focus on young people for whom mainstream education systems are not achieving outcomes, remained unchanged. “What we have done is ensure that our structure, processes and staff are all aligned to achieve our vision,” he said. He said the changes were based on a thorough review based on advice from people with expertise in working with young people like those enrolled at the school and added that a comprehensive transition process had been implemented to ensure that students, their families and staff were fully supported. Mr Butler said consultation with Fair Work and the Independent Education Union had concluded in a way that met all their obligations and that all legitimate entitlements had been paid. “Cire Services is committed to a thorough and rigorous recruitment process, hiring people with the qualifications and aptitude to align with the specific vacancy,” he said.

Letters True eco warriors I READ Dr Bob Rich’s letter on Green philosophy with interest. Political parties have done little to save the environment, probably because the electorate places the environment as the lowest priority. At the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Centre we place wildlife and the environment as our first, second and third priority. In 15 years we have established three reserves and three part reserves, paid for the planting of 100,000 trees, helped towards the setting up of an Orangutan Sanctuary plus much more. We are non-political and just do it. One million

people voted Green. Imagine if they all joined in the making of a Coalition to Save Wildlife. A very significant wildlife charity could be launched. Idealism, good intentions and voting Green will change nothing, action is needed. The environment is our individual responsibility. Recently we appealed for volunteers to help build the CSW but recruited only two new members. Never the less we are moving ahead. Our first initiative is to help the little Steiner School stage a musical evening at the Memo hall. Some $10 of the $15 ticket will go to the CSW and we will invite each ticket holder to consider the option of the money enlisting them as members. The Steiner School Orchestra ensemble will afterwards tour Hawaii to give performances

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 8 August 1936 In Case You Didn’t Know WITH a view to adding to the attractiveness of the sanctuary and making it an all-year-round show for overseas visitors to Australia, Mr Roberts, tourist association secretary mentioned the proposal submitted by him to the sanctuary committee. He requests that steps be taken to plant a variety of wattle trees in the sanctuary which would ensure a display of blossom at all periods of the year. Overseas tourists, said Mr Roberts, were always keen to see Australia’s national floral emblem and if Healesville could promise to show it to them it would be a fine attraction. In connection with the ‘Miss Australia 1937’ quest now being sponsored locally by the Healesville Tourist and Progress Association, arrangements have been made for a display to be placed in the window of Messrs Phillips and Sons. All intending entrants are advised to read the display sheet right through and ascertain the requirements of entry. It would seem that long-awaited action on the important matter of beautifying by tree planting the reserves adjacent to the local railway station is to be realised.

More Aboriginal jobs in shire call By JESSE GRAHAM

Peter van Breugel and dog Roxie are waiting on inspiration for the final panels. 157599

Picture: ROB CAREW

Histor y on the wall By KATH GANNAWAY WITH plans to officially launch the Warburton Train Station Mural Project in December, a call is going out for input into the final six panels. Among the 43 panels completed by local artist Peter van Breugel are landmark buildings such as the Sanitarium Weet-Bix factory, guesthouses and the old Martyrs bus depot. The timber industry, iconic Yarra River bridges and local identities also feature. Instigator of the project, Norm Orr, is now encouraging Warburton residents, past and present, to help complete the series.

“We’re looking for people to book a mural which should have something to do with Warburton and can be sponsored by a family or commemorated to someone,” he said. Mr van Breugel came on board with the project in 2012 with the first mural depicting the last train into Warburton on 1 August, 1965. “That got the attention to attract sponsors and also showed that the murals were going to be decent works,” he said. The initial murals were painted directly onto the concrete wall, but the later ones are on heavy cement sheet-

ing, completed in the more comfortable workspace of Mr van Breugel’s studio and then attached to the wall. Mr Orr said the launch would include the unveiling of the ‘crowning glory’ of the series, an honour board depicting 20 faces of people who have helped shape Warburton. A souvenir brochure featuring the murals and promoting Warburton will also be launched. Anyone who would like to be part of one of the town’s feature attractions, tracing the heritage, history and people of the town, can contact Mr Orr on 0408 592 504.

THE COUNCIL has defended its intake of Indigenous employees, following a speech at a recent meeting from Councillor Noel Cliff accusing the organisation of ‘tokenism’. Cr Cliff raised the issue as an Item through the Chair at Tuesday, 26 July’s Yarra Ranges Council meeting, criticising the council’s intake of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. He said the council hired an Indigenous person, but only for a 12-month traineeship that ended on 29 July. He said the council had previously spoken about employing four people from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background, and said not having a permanent role for the trainee was “cow manure”. “I would like to think that we might just, for once in my life here, actually provide positions formally permanent positions,” Cr Cliff said. “We’ve got reconciliation and I’ve found we love debating the glory of reconciliation and what we’re doing in that, but if we’re not providing these positions, I think it’s just a bit of claptrap – it’s just tokenism. “Put your money where your mouth is, and provide these positions.” Yarra Ranges Mayor Jason Callanan said the council currently had three employees who identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and that there was no goal or target to employ a specific number of Indigenous people at council. “We have developed a diver-

sity and inclusion policy which is planned to roll out to council employees during August/September,” Cr Callanan said. “This policy will outline council’s expectations and responsibilities regarding diversity and inclusion of all employees.” He said a steering committee would be formed to develop a diversity and inclusion strategy once the policy had been rolled out, with initiatives to address focus areas. “One of which will be supporting our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander employees, including recruitment strategies,” Cr Callanan said. “We presented the diversity and inclusion policy to the Indigenous Advisory Committee and received very positive feedback from them – we also incorporated their recommendations and have their endorsement.” The Yarra Ranges Council employs 891 people, amounting to 608 full-time equivalent roles. Cr Callanan said recruitment strategies had been implemented to encourage Indigenous candidates, and that an increase in applications and registrations from Indigenous people had occurred in the last six months. “Council acknowledges the challenges associated with achieving our employment targets and we are committed to increasing Indigenous employment and retaining Indigenous employees,” he said. “Council has a genuine and enduring commitment to the Yarra Ranges Aboriginal community and to reconciliation.”

To sit or stand - the health dilemma THERE is a new phenomenon hitting physio practices across the country, and you might be part of it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been using a standing desk at work my hurtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; phenomenon! OK maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exaggeration, but just like Nintendo thumb from years ago, and iPad neck from not long ago, we are seeing a burst of standing-related musculoskeletal and circulatory disorders related to prolonged standing in previously sitting workers. The research on using standing

Body

desks, rather than sitting all day, is mostly very positive. There are obvious benefits to improved metabolic rate, leading to reduced weight gain compared with sitting, less pressure on the lower back

and a whole range of loosely associated wellbeing improvements from mood to cholesterol. However, anecdotally, we have seen a rise in overuse type conditions of the hip, knee and ankle and exacerbations of circulatory issues such as varicose veins from this current office trend. When we walk for instance, our feet and lower limb movements have evolved to transfer weight economically across a range of joints, and the increased muscle use helps pump fluid throughout the body and back to the heart, thereby improving metabolic flow.

When we stand for prolonged periods, there is an increase in metabolic rate compared to sitting, but the musculoskeletal and circulatory benefits are vastly reduced if a worker stands with uneven weight-bearing (yes you, leaning on one leg!), stands with poor footwear or for long periods on hard surfaces, or stands for prolonged periods without movement. So, if you are experiencing discomfort with your standing desk, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up. Instead, try alternating postures every 30 minutes between sitting and

standing, or even better, walking. Do focus on improving your core and postural strength â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tell yourself to stand as tall as possible, activate your deep core muscles and position both feet firmly on the ground. Do wear supportive shoes and do stand on an anti-fatigue surface rather than a hard floor. And do seek treatment on stiff or sore hips and knees before they cause you to go back to sitting for good. Oh, and stop leaning on one leg when you stand!

Hoddles Creek Primary School proudly celebrated the centenary of its oldest building

The first time I entered the gates of Dixons Creek Primary School I was mesmerised by its beautiful setting. The winter sun shone through the pine forest and onto the landscaped garden beds. That was in 2002 and I continue to bask in all that a small rural school offers its community. In the past fourteen years the school has grown from 18 students to its current enrolment of 89 students

Previously, I was an Assistant Principal in a large West Gippsland school however I have a passion for small schools that developed from my time leading Loch Sport Primary School. I firmly believe that at Hoddles Creek Primary School we offer our students a unique and highly individualised education that ensures all students are academically challenged at their point of need.

I first came to the Yarra Valley 31 years ago as a very energetic and enthusiastic teacher. I have honed my skills in 7 Yarra Valley schools, 3 as Principal. At Seville we believe that all students should be encouraged to develop their individual personalities, interests and abilities so they attain positive self-esteem and self-confidence and become selfmotivated and independent life-long learners. We have extensive grounds for the children to run and play in. We have 2 basketball courts, a full oval, native gardens, our ‘Poet Tree’ that stands in pride of place displaying poems of our very talented students not to mention our super Buddy Bench. It is our aim to continue the growth and development of Seville Primary School. I extend a very warm welcome to all members of the school community. Please come and visit our school and find out what makes it such a wonderful place to be.

Anne Stenhouse Principal Pat Hillas - Principal I am proud of the long history I have with Wesburn Primary School. My eldest child commenced in Prep in 1984 and I have been strongly connected with the school since then as a school council president for 9 years, co-author of a literacy book, Learning Language Locally (utilizing the wonderful history and environment of the Upper Yarra Valley), teacher, and principal for 11 years. Throughout this time Wesburn has celebrated its centenary in 2004, survived threats of closure in the late 1980s as well as bushfires, upgraded facilities to provide a wonderful place for children to play and learn, developed an amazing educational team, and implemented programs such as the Kitchen Garden Program with Stephanie Alexander and the developmental curriculum in the early years, that meet the needs of all children. Our motto, We Learn for Life, epitomises the values we place on developing wellrounded students equipped for adult life. I have an open door policy and enjoy working closely with parents and children at school. My belief is that the children should be at the centre of all that we do. After 32 years at Wesburn I am still passionate about my wonderful school and the wider community.

Our school priorities are: mental health and wellbeing, the teaching of Mathematics, integration of Information and Communications Technologies throughout the curriculum, personal development and improving student engagement. Last year we registered as a ‘Kids Matter’ school and have appointed a chaplain to work in the school. We have comprehensive P-6 Sexual Education and Drug Education programs.

Little Yarra Steiner School’s 30 year development It’s been quite a journey through which the school has travelled since its earliest days back in 1986, where it started in a hall in Wesburn before moving to its picturesque location in Yarra Junction. It’s now a well established K-12 school retaining its community feel and beauty so characteristic of Steiner education. Whereas in the Kinder years, the space SSTEINER TEINER SSCHOOL CHOOL has the quality of stepping into a magical enchanting realm, in the High School 205 Little Yarra Road years, one senses the active engagement as Yarra Junction students strive to deepen insights into the tel. 5967 1953 world they inhabit. he management structure at the school is not one encoutered in more traditional settings, in that there is no principal role at the school, but rather a range of responsibilities held by diferent people. Jean-Michel David, the education administrator, mentions the importance of an active and strong collegiate of teachers who work together to deepen their understanding of the needs of each student within the context of the school.

www.lyss.vic.edu.au

Yarra Valley’s K-12 Independent Steiner School he school operates its own buses from East Warburton, Belgrave, Cockatoo, Mt Evelyn and Healesville, with most of the students coming from the local Yarra Valley. A number of families have moved into the Valley in order for their children to easily access the school. In some cases, part of the motivation has been the outstanding music and sciences ofered by the school, in other cases the community feel and the nature of the education itself. Educationally, the school uses the national Australian Steiner Curriculum framework to guide its teaching material in years 1-10, and in years 11 and 12 a selection of VCE subjects, in addition to a range of core lessons, are on ofer. Also of note is the possibility for year 12 students to undertake an independent project for which the school now has over a decade of experience, and is a leader nationally. he school will be having a general information evening focussing on years 1-8 on Tuesday the 16th of August at 7:30 pm.

Darren Trippett Since joining Yarra Hills Secondary College in 2012, College Principal Darren Trippett has overseen the largest transformation in the school’s 53 year history. Darren came to Yarra Hills with over 25 years’ experience, much of that in leadership at the acclaimed Vermont Secondary College. In 2007, Darren was individually recognised as a ‘High Performing Young Leader’ by Professor Brian Caldwell, former Dean of Education at the University of Melbourne, being chosen to represent Australia in the International Network for Educational Transformation, International Conference in Beijing, China. After initially assuming the Campus Principal role at the Mt Evelyn Campus, Darren soon moved into the position of College Principal, which he has held for the last three years. In his time at the helm, Yarra Hills has completed a $20 million rebuild of the Mooroolbark Campus, as well as significant improvements at Mt Evelyn. Along with this, a renewed focus on school values, aspirational goals and ground breaking online curriculum development has led to great interest in the school from the local community. Indicative Year 7 enrolments for 2017 are at the highest level since 2002, with similar demand for existing spots in other year levels. Darren says “I believe that we have a great deal to offer prospective families, and we are working hard to continue to improve in all areas to become the school of choice for the local community”. He says it is certainly challenging, but a very rewarding experience seeing the school transform under his guidance.

I’m proud to be Principal of our small school with a big heart! Over the last two years I have been leading Warburton Primary School on a journey to build our students’ resilience, independence and courage as learners. We are continuously improving a strong instructional model based on reading and writing workshops, and this year we are focused on re-developing our approach to the teaching of mathematics. Our teachers are professional learners and they know how important it is to grow relationships and nurture the whole child. I am a teaching Principal, working in the senior classroom one day per week, and teaching the new Digital Technologies curriculum to the whole school. Our new Kid-Friendly Kitchen is a fabulous facility, one which I was proud to assist our wonderful parents in making it a reality. Our highlights this year have been many, including our poetry publication, our launch of the new Junior School Council with its classroom Ambassadors, and our involvement in gathering ideas for the proposed Warburton Community Recreation Precinct.

Launching Place Primary School is situated in a residential estate in a semi-rural area and has 260 students. I was thrilled to be appointed as Principal in October 2013 and have enjoyed the strong sense of community that exists in the Upper Yarra region. The school maintains an excellent reputation in the wider community for its educational provision and close-knit, supportive school community. As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” I am very proud to say that at Launching Place Primary, we are a village of staff and parents that work together to support all our children. We consistently encourage students to become lifelong learners who value themselves, others and learning. We have an exceptional teaching and support staff that works tirelessly for the benefit of each and every student. We pride ourselves in being a place where our goal is to ensure we develop each child’s self-esteem as well as motivating them to achieve to their highest potential by providing a happy and challenging learning environment for all children. A highlight, since my arrival at Launching Place Primary, has been the implementation of ‘School-wide Positive Behaviour Support’. The focus on being a learner, being respectful and being safe underpin all that we do. We develop and explicitly teach appropriate and positive behaviours. Research has shown that the implementation of punishment, in the absence of other positive strategies, is ineffective. Introducing, modelling, and reinforcing positive social behaviour is an important step of a student’s educational experience. Teaching behavioural expectations and acknowledging students for following them is a more positive approach than waiting for misbehaviour to occur before responding. As a school we are committed to helping each individual student be the best that they can be to prepare them for an ever changing world.

MARKET SCENE All’s fare on country market day A Mail News Advertising Feature

IS THERE anything more relaxing than wandering around a country market and trying to find a bargain? There are many towns in the Yarra Ranges that take pride in hosting an incredible country market. Much time and effort goes on behind the scenes to make them a success. But it’s always worth it when there is an incredible buzz on market day on the weekend when people catch up with others while seeking out great produce, homemade items, a little fun and top bargains. Markets not only give an opportunity for stallholders to present their wares to the public, they area a great way to make community connections. They are an important part of a community, particularly in smaller towns, in fact it could be said that they are the heartbeat of the town. That’s simply because there is so much to see and do at a market, in addition to the wonderful atmosphere. They are so popular because, let’s face it, there is something special about taking home some fruit ‘n’ vegetables from the market and whipping up some culinary delights for everyone to enjoy. It’s a ‘foodies’ paradise, with many types of delights available from stalls, both the healthy and indulgent varieties.

Just imagine what recipes you could try out with all the fruit ‘n’ vegetables on offer.

After you’re finished looking for a bargain, settle in for a nice cuppa. And don’t forget the country market is a family affair. More times than not, there are activities for the children to enjoy, as well as the chance to pick up a special treat from the stalls. To top off a great day, well, we all know how good the tea and coffee can be from a country market.

To check out the times and dates of the region’s markets, the Mail’s Community Diary is a great place to start. Also, check out Yarra Ranges Shire website which often highlights many of the local markets as does visityarravalley.com.au and the Yarra Valley Markets page on Facebook.

Fresh produce is a feature at many country markets.

Saddle up with confidence

Thanks to the organisation, animals can find a happy place in the community again. 157697

More puppy love IF you’ve ever thought about lending a hand to help out our animal friends, now may be the time to stop thinking and take action. There is one local organisation that may give you the right pathway to giving our furry friends the helping-hand they need. The Inbetweeners Animal Rescue is a volunteer-run rescue organisation based in Melbourne, Australia. Focused solely on the wellbeing of animals, they are a notfor-profit organisation run by a

group of passionate, dedicated volunteers. The rescue was developed by a group of people with a strong passion for animal welfare. The Inbetweeners Animal Rescue is dedicated to taking in, rehabilitating and rehoming homeless and unwanted animals left in pounds and similar facilities. The rescue does not discriminate against age, breed or size when it comes to the animals they strive to help.

Their mission is to come to the aid of animals that have fallen between the gaps. With the help of volunteers, they aim to give these animals everything they need to find a happy and valued place in the community again. When it comes to the animals, they strive to help. Help them, help animals! For more information, email inbetweenersanimalrescue@ gmail.com. Alternatively, check out and ‘like’ their Facebook page.

THE Yarra Valley is filled with horse-lovers of all types. Janine Clarke teaches horsemanship classes locally and statewide to empower everyday people to become extraordinary with horses. It is about building a bond with a horse that is stronger than any lead rope. The study of Horse Psychology is fascinating and encompasses endless self-mastery resulting in becoming a horseman. It is actually more natural for people to better relate to dogs and cats. This is because these animals share similar traits to us humans. In the animal kingdom, we are predators; horses are prey animals and have a unique set of ‘self-preservation’ traits. These survival instincts can trigger oppositional behaviour that makes our domestic management or enjoyment of horses challenging. For example, float loading, worming, catching, riding, leading, washing, spooking, saddling, bridling, clipping, shoeing, bolting and rearing. Most people don’t realise the answers are within them to change these situations for the better. When we behave like a predator, usually unconsciously, this actually triggers this oppositional behaviour in our horses. When you become a horseman, you’re able to read all

A special bond exists between the rider and horse. 157770 horses with confidence. Frustration is replaced with fun, safety and achievement of personal goals, where anything is possible. In a small group setting, the workshops will focus on individual’s needs and goals.

Classes will begin on the ground, progressing and advancing your relationship with your horse; and creating more connection, relaxation and responsiveness. For more information, contact 0407 953 731.

Eddies and Patsys come out By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS WELL darlings, the Absolutely Fabulous Movie opened at Croydon Cinemas on Wednesday 3 August and a whole host of Eddies and Patsys turned out to watch the film. With bubbles and cocktails all round at George’s bar before and after the film, filmgoers celebrated the original Patsy and Eddie gracing the silver screen in truly Ab Fab Style. Croydon Cinemas general manager George Aleksiunas said it a great night for everyone involved. “Everyone had a really good time and based on what was said to me and comments on our Facebook page everyone had a great night,” he said. “We have had requests to stage more events like this because in Croydon there is nothing to do midweek.” Mr Aleksiunas said the event was such a huge success that they were looking to host more similar events in the future. The Mail was there to catch all the action of the Absolutely Fabulous premiere and you can view more photos from the night online at www.mailnewsgroup.com.au.

AUSTRALIAN military history will be on display at the Healesville Library until the end of the month, with a cabinet of Vietnam War memorabilia and artefacts erected to mark the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. Healesville’s Rod Wilson, who collects military artefacts, set up the Vietnam War display at the library, behind the Healesville Memorial Hall, at the start of the month. Combining items from Australian and Vietnamese soldiers, such as uniforms, helmets and badges, the exhibition was organised to mark the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. Though each of the pieces gives a glance back through time to the war, Mr Wilson said one of the standout items was an Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (ATTV) badge, given to him by a veteran and former Toolangi resident years ago. Mr Wilson said the AATTV was one of the longest-serving units in the Australian Army, running from 1962 to 1973 – its members received four Victoria Crosses during that time.

Rod Wilson with a patch worn by Cpl Greg Wilson in Vietnam in 1970-'72. 157592 Picture: ROB CAREW He said the exhibition also featured so-called Ho Chi Minh sandals – which were made from truck tyres. “The ever-resourceful Vietnamese, fighting the mighty American army, cut down truck tyres and made sandals out of them, with the inner tube’s strapping to hold them to your feet and underneath were the cut-out truck tyres,” Mr Wilson said. He said a North Vietnamese red scarf, given for bravery in combat, was also part of the exhibition, as well as rations and

a newspaper poster for the day the war ended. Mr Wilson said he picked up the newspaper poster from his newsagency when in January 1973, he was 15 years old. The Battle of Long Tan occurred on 18 August, 1966, in a rubber plantation near Long Tan in South Vietnam, with 108 Australian soldiers fighting against about 2000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. Despite being outnumbered, the Vietnamese forces retreated after being fought off. The exhibition will be in place at the Healesville Library, at 110 River Street, Healesville, until the end of August. The Yarra Valley and Outer Eastern Melbourne Vietnam Veterans Day will hold a march and service to mark the 50th anniversary at the Knox War Memorial at the Tim Neville Arboretum in Dorset Road, Ferntree Gully, from 10.45am on Sunday, 14 August. For more information about the exhibition, call 9800 6497. For more information about the service and march, call Aff Binnoore on 0409 365 210.

STAR Trek Beyond is a compelling and action-packed celebration of the show’s 50th anniversary. When the Enterprise is lured to a distant nebula and destroyed, the crew must fight for survival on a perilous planet and defeat the ruthless warlord Krall (Idris Elba). The best of the three re-booted Trek films, this series has finally gotten the formula right

under new director Justin Lin. For starters, Kirk (Chris Pine) is actually likeable in Beyond. Pine portrays a charismatic, humble leader, as opposed to the arrogant sociopath Kirk was in the 2009 Star Trek film. Beyond’s plot is sleek and efficient, with clear goals and obstacles, and is all the more suspenseful for its engaging, well-developed characters. Kirk’s moving friendship with Spock (Zachary Quinto) is subtly explored further, as is the adversarial bond between

Spock and Bones (Karl Urban), but Sofia Boutella steals the show as the feisty alien warrior Jaylah. The action scenes are fierce and visually stunning, but the film also recaptures the essence of the original TV series, with prominent themes of respect, strength in unity and the joys of technology and exploration. Funny, well-written and exhilarating, Star Trek Beyond is the Trek film we’ve deserved for years. – Seth Lukas Hynes

Water Act 1989 NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO ABOLISH THE WANDIN YALLOCK WATER SUPPLY PROTECTION AREA The Minister for Water gives notice under section 27 (4) (a) of the Water Act 1989 of the proposal to abolish the Wandin Yallock Water Supply Protection Area (WSPA). The development of a statutory management plan for the Wandin Yallock WSPA is no longer considered necessary as there is a cap on licence extractions, extractions are metered and there is a monitoring regime in place. The Wandin Yallock WSPA is currently managed by a local management plan and this is considered more appropriate as it provides a more ﬂexible, efﬁcient and effective way to clarify watersharing arrangements. The proposed action will see the Wandin Yallock WSPA becoming a groundwater management area and would allow for permanent transfers to occur. This proposal does not alter the permissible consumptive volume. The Wandin Yallock WSPA is currently fully allocated so no new groundwater licences can be issued. A map of the Wandin Yallock WSPA (reference LEGL./03-133) and the details of the permissible consumptive volume can be inspected at www.srw.com.au or during business hours at Southern Rural Water, 88 Johnson Street, Maffra. Submissions about the proposed abolition of the Wandin Yallock WSPA are invited. Any submissions should be lodged by 14 October 2016 and addressed: Proposed abolition of the Wandin Yallock Water Supply Protection Area, Attention: Chris Hughes Acting General Manager Groundwater & Rivers Southern Rural Water PO Box 153, Maffra, Victoria 3860

Upset wins and clouds By CAMERON HUTCHISON CLOUDY conditions but no rain had the competition turned upside down after some wins and losses over the weekend. Mount Evelyn bounced back from their loss, while Healesville endured a tough game against Emerald. Monbulk keep alive their finals hopes, while Upwey-Tecoma surprised Wandin with a two-point win and Olinda won in a low tight scoring game against Woori Yallock. Powelltown have made it tough for themselves, losing to Kinglake by four points after indirect kicking came back to bite. Alexandra share top spot with Kinglake after a solid win against Seville. Seville are still an outside chance to make the five. Yea now sit fifth after an impressive win against Yarra Glen which now find themselves sharing third spot with Gembrook-Cockatoo after they had a good win over Yarra Junction. Meanwhile, things heat up again next week when Olinda Ferny Creek play host to Healesville which will be a fight for top spot. Division 1 Seniors Football Mount Evelyn 12.17 (89) d Belgrave 9.16 (70) Mount Evelyn jumped out of the blocks with eight scoring shots to five and took a 13-point lead into quarter time. Indirect kicking caused headaches in the second, but were able to hold Belgrave to only two points while kicking 1.7 to increase their lead to to 24 points at the main break. Mount Evelyn were able to get their possession game going in the third, kicking 5.3 to 2.5 in the third to take a lead of 40 points into the last quarter. Belgrave mounted challenges to Mount Evelyn in the last quarter kicking 6.5 to 3.2, but left their run too late with Mount Evelyn securing a 19-point win. Mount Evelyn Best: G. Gosland, M. Sheehan, D. Kift, L. Francis, A. Chalkley, C. Carmody (2 goals) Belgrave Best: M. Puts, J. Brown (1 goal), P. Gough (1 goal), T. Marks, D. Bilston, E. Clasby Healesville 14.19 (103) d Emerald 11.7 (73) Healesville were never really challenged by Emerald but the Emerald camp would be reasonably happy with their performance on Saturday. Healesville started off brightly of the two teams kicking 2.6 to 1.1 to have an 11-point lead heading into the second quarter. Healesville had the ascendancy in the second quarter, kicking 7.3 to 2.1 to take a 44-point lead at half-time. Emerald outscored Healesville in the third, kicking 4.2 to 3.5 and 4.3 to 2.4 in the last quarter. However, despite outscoring the hosts in the second half, Healesville were able to secure a comfortable 30-point win over Emerald at the Don Road Complex on Saturday. Healesville Best: N. Mende, S. Gordon (2 goals), A. Davies (1 goal), B. Murphy, J. Nugent, S. Donkin Emerald Best: L. Joiner, B. Moloney (4 goals), L. Sheppard, N. Jansen (3 goals), A. Davy, M. Thomas

Monbulk 18.10 (118) d Warburton Millgrove 14.11 (95) Monbulk have kept their finals hopes alive with a good come-frombehind win on Saturday. Warburton were on fire in the first, kicking 6.4 to 3.2 to take a handy 20-point lead into the second quarter. Monbulk had a minor win in the second quarter, kicking 3.2 to 2.4 to reduce the margin to 16 points at halftime. Andrew White was causing problems for Monbulk up forward and would need to shuffle their defence around to be able to make a difference in the last half. Monbulk put out the challenge in the third, kicking 5.3 to 4.1 to keep chipping away at Warburton's lead with Warburton only holding a twogoal lead, heading into the last quarter. Monbulk continued to dominate the contest in the last quarter, kicking 7.3 to 2.2 to come away with a confidence boosting 23-point win. Monbulk Best: S. Gough (4 goals), S. Williams (2 goals), D. Werts (2 goals), L. Jurey, B. Emmett (1 goal), S. McBride (2 goals) Warburton-Millgrove Best: T. Marr, T. McKail, A. White (6 goals), J. Iacono, P. Sharp, J. Mullan Upwey-Tecoma 20.8.128 d Wandin 18.18.126 This was a game for forwards; and with Dan Waters kicking nine and Michael Fowkes bagging seven, the crowd was not disappointed. Ladder leaders Wandin were able to hold an 18-point lead at quarter time with Wandin continuing to dominate in the second, kicking 6.4 to 4.2 to enhance their lead to 32 points at the main break. Despite Wandin dominating the first half, Upwey-Tecoma found their way into the match in the third quarter kicking 7.1 to 1.4 to take a one-point lead heading into the last. It was a real shoot out in the last; however, the Tigers were able to hold, kicking six straight goals to Wandin’s 5.5 to secure a thrilling two-point win in one of the upsets of the season. Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Hackett (3 goals), I. Krijt (1 goal), K. Grenda, B. Duncan, D. Waters (9 goals), B. Oates (1 goal) Wandin Best: T. Merlino (1 goal), Jarrod Bayliss, M. Fowkes (7 goals), B. Chapman, J. Ladner, J. Myers (1 goal) Olinda Ferny Creek 11.12 (78) d Woori Yallock 7.9 (51) Olinda Ferny Creek hold top spot by percentage after their win over Woori Yallock on Saturday. The first quarter was a close contest, with both teams having the same amount of scoring shots. However, the visitors were able to take a five-point lead heading into the second quarter. Olinda held Woori Yallock goalless in the second while increasing their lead to 19 points heading into the main break. Despite being scoreless in the second quarter, Woori Yallock were able to find their kicking boots in the third, outscoring Olinda by kicking four straight to Olinda’s 3.1, but were unable to string back-to-back goals with the visitors kicking three goals to Woori’s one in the last to secure a

comfortable 27-point victory. Olinda-Ferny Creek Best: N. Keegan, M. Hottes, B. Walter (3 goals), J. Rankin, L. Hill, D. Wilson (1 goal) Woori Yallock Best: B. Monkhorst (4 goals), K. Thompson, H. Smith (1 goal), J. Adams, S. Kennedy, R. Smith (1 goal) Division 2 Seniors Football Alexandra 18.7 (115) d Seville 11.11(77) Alexandra have certainly had their finals hope firmly under their own control and a big win over Seville has put them in equal top spot with two rounds remaining. Alexandra started off where they left off last week, kicking 5.3 to 2.2 and took a handy lead of 19 points in to the second quarter. Alexandra continued to dominate in the second quarter with another fivegoal quarter, extending their lead to 36 points at half-time. Seville outscored Alexandra in the third, but it was not enough to have any impact on the final result with another four goals by Alexandra in the last quarter seeing them secure a comprehensive 38-point win. Alexandra Best: J. Purcell, B. Norris (5 goals), S. Steiner (1 goal), B. Woollard (1 goal), J. Steyger, C. Heaslip Seville Best: T. Groen, J. Neal (4 goals), J. Wathen, J. Pignataro (5 goals), J. Wilson Kinglake 19.13 (127) d Powelltown 16.27 (123) Powelltown have shattered any chance of playing finals after their close four-goal loss to Kinglake on Saturday. Kinglake dominated the first quarter, kicking 5.4 to 1.7 to hold a 21-point lead heading into the second quarter. Despite Kinglake dominating the first quarter, Powelltown were able to find the big sticks in the second kicking 5.4 to 4.4 to reduce the margin down to 15 points. Powelltown continued their second quarter form in the third, kicking 5.8 to 4.1 to reduce the margin down to two points. Powelltown at this stage had 30 scoring shots to 22 and should have been well and truly in front. It was all down to who was going to be the most efficient in front of goal in the last and, as the scoreline shows, it was not Powelltown, with Kinglake kicking 5.8 to 6.4 to see them secure a thrilling four-point win. Kinglake Best: B. Robinson (1 goal), A. Whelan, R. Mallison, E. Rob-

inson, L. Forsyth (6 goals), G. Hibberd (3 goals) Powelltown Best: G. Newing (3 goals), J. Ford, M. McLaughlin (4 goals), K. Larsen (1 goal), W. Dore, L. Middlemast Yea 15.19 (109) d Yarra Glen 11.9 (75) Yarra Glen have dropped to third on the ladder after a 109-75 loss to Yea on Saturday. The first quarter was a tight affair with both teams testing each other out with scores tied up at 3.4 apiece. Yarra Glen were able to get their running game going and the midfield was desperate to get the ball, kicking 5.3 to Yea’s 1.3 to give them a 24-point lead into the main break. Despite Yarra Glen dominating the second quarter, Yea were able to outscore Yarra Glen in the third, kicking 4.6 to 2.2 to reduce Yarra Glen’s lead to just seven points at three quarter time. Yea continued to dominate in the last, kicking 7.6-to-one goal to secure a comfortable 34-point win in the end. Yea Best: H. Jarvie (3 goals), R. Aldous, T. Butterworth, J. Flynn, P. Evans, B. Cunningham (2 goals) Yarra Glen Best: L. Hoffman, M. Ashton, K. Hudson, A. Smith, A. Moate (2 goals), J. Smith (4 goals) Gembrook-Cockatoo 15.17 (107) d Yarra Junction 9.11 (65) Gembrook have possibly put an end to Yarra Junction’s hope to play finals this season. Yarra Junction had all the play in the first quarter, kicking 5.3 to Gembrook’s 1.3 in the first quarter. Gembrook were able to get their game going in the second to bounce back with a 4.5 to 1.3 second quarter to reduce the main down to four points at half-time. After the half-time, Gembrook continued to dominate the contest and on the scoreboard kicking 10.9 to Yarra Junction’s 3.5 to come away with an impressive 42-point win. Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: C. Vernal (3 goals), T. Whytcross (1 goal), S. Richardson (1 goal), S. Nuutinen (3 goals), J. McLean-Brunton (2 goals), P. Gramc Yarra Junction Best: E. Wadsworth, B. Wragg, D. Lever (3 goals), F.

By JAMIE STRUDLEY YARRA Ranges Athletics athletes travelled to Anglesea for the annual Ekiden relays over the weekend. The term ‘Ekiden’ originated in Japan, although the concept of a long distance relay race is not unique to any country. The first Ekiden race was run over three days between the old Japanese capital of Kyoto and the modern capital of Tokyo, a distance of 508km, to celebrate the anniversary of the moving of the capital to Tokyo.

Motoring It’s all for the love of cars A HEALESVILLE mechanic has been recognised for his work, with manufacturer Bosch awarding his workshop as one of its best in the state, and country-wide. On Saturday, 23 July, Clint Rose Motors received the Victorian-Tasmanian Bosch Service Excellence Award at a ceremony in Melbourne. Mr Rose, the owner and namesake of the workshop, and fellow mechanic Ricky Lachowitz also received certificates from the Bosch Diagnostic Technician Program from the manufacturer on the night. “It was something that I wasn’t really striving towards, but everything that Bosch have sort of suggested to me in regards to my business, whether it’s through mechanical knowledge or business knowledge, I’ve taken on board and tried to implement it,” Mr Rose said. “I think that’s what happens along the way – you do that sort of thing, you step up through the ranks a bit and you get a nice reward for your efforts.”

The award was determined following an audit of the business and mystery shopper visits to the workshop, both of which have to result in high scores. The workshop was also the runner-up for the Australiawide award. Mr Rose told the Mail he got started in the industry when he was about 16 years old, commuting from Healesville to Surrey Hills and back each day for work, and that a love of cars had pushed him towards his career. “I’d always had a bit of an interest in cars as a kid, but it’s an industry that’s changing so quickly – the dynamics and the technology that’s coming into cars is phenomenal,” Mr Rose said. “From that point of view, it’s a very challenging industry to be in – but with the right equipment and the right support, you can work your way through it.” Mr Rose said the next five years would see dramatic change to the industry, including a greater shift to hybrid

and electric vehicles, as well as fully-automated vehicles in the coming five years. “Whether it’s full-electronics or the micro hybrids as they call them now, that’s definitely the way of the future,” he said. His advice to car enthusiasts interested in getting into the industry was to be patient, to be switched on and to not leave it too late, with workshops often taking in school-leavers from the age of 15-16. “You’ve got to have a lot of patience – you certainly need to be able to have some tolerance for working on cars. They’re not getting any easier to work on in that sense,” Mr Rose said. “And you’ve got to be pretty switched on for it, too, nowadays. It’s no longer an industry where you can blunder your way through. “The technicality and, in the future, the electronics that can go with it can be very dangerous if things aren’t done properly. “Mainly, it’s about the right attitude.”

Put road danger in the bin AUSTRALIA is on track this year to equal the number of pedestrian fatalities recorded last year, which grew for the third consecutive year. The Australian Road Safety Federation (ARSF) has extended an initiative it hopes will reverse the statistics. Yarra Ranges residents are being urged to help make streets safer by applying ‘life saving’ stickers to their garbage wheelie bins. The large stickers, which feature life-size images of children stepping towards the road and speed limit signs, are designed to provide a strong visual reminder to motorists. The images are based on research which found that signs that depicted motion resulted in faster reaction times and increased vigilance. Use of the stickers in other Australian states has seen over 5000 distributed and applied to wheelie bins nationally. So powerful is the campaign, some

councils are buying them in bulk to make available to residents. The ARSF now wants more residents in Victoria to get on board. ARSF chief executive officer, Russell White, said between January and May this year, 67 pedestrians were killed on Australian roads. “If trends continue, the number could reach or even exceed last year’s number of 165,” he said. “The ‘life saving’ sticker campaign provides a real-time reminder to motorists to reduce their speed. “If someone is exceeding the speed limit, we hope these stickers will prompt them to immediately slow down. “Even small changes in vehicle speed can have a dramatic impact on stopping distances.” Of the 67 pedestrians killed so far this year, seven were under 16 years of age. “We also know that the statistics

show fatalities are higher on weekdays when over 82 per cent of this year’s fatalities have been recorded,” Mr White said. “Victoria has recorded the second highest pedestrian fatality rate so far in 2016, accounting for over 25 per cent of deaths. “These are just the fatality rates. “There have been many more injured and even left with life-changing disabilities. “Our research tells us that for every fatality, there is between 20 and 30 injuries. “With the impact on families and friends, that’s thousands of lives shattered every year.” The Australian Road Safety Foundation launched the initiative in Queensland earlier this year as an education program. It makes the life-size stickers available for $10 each, plus postage. “We are also seeing councils and

‘Life saving’ stickers on wheelie bins may help to reverse damning statistics. 157333 corporate organisations purchasing the stickers in bulk to save their constituents or customers postage costs and encourage local use,” he said. Residents interested in purchasing a sticker for their bin can contact

the ARSF hotline on 1300 723 843 or email info@australianroadsafetyfoundation.com to arrange to purchase stickers. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/fatalityfreefriday.
