Art of risk-taking By Jodie Symonds MOUNT Evelyn is getting ready for a big weekend on 28-30 October, as the township will come alive with the HillsceneLIVE festival. The festival encourages artists who take “juicy” risks, ask big questions, and make bold statements with their work. HillsceneLIVE is a supportive program for artists to hone and nurture their craft. It will cover live art and performance, including: theatre, dance, sound, art, cabaret, spoken word, live art and, work that doesn’t fit into those categories. In its fifth festival since 2014, the summer HillsceneLIVE will feature 25 events including dance, theatre, sound art, interventions and more. It is an electric and eclectic festival, supporting some of Victoria’s most challenging and talented artists. Some of the highlights include Rachel Jones’ 24 hour durational theatre performance, which explores anxiety. It will also feature Dani-Ela Kayler’s poetic dance-theatre piece, using leaves as a metaphor for the hardship of leaving. A social inclusion dinner, festival hub, workshops, a series of critical conversations and panel discussion will also be on offer. The social inclusion dinner is HillsceneLive 100,and will serve up a gourmet dinner to 100 people for free. It offers free access to festival activities, and features an exhibition of Eliza Philip’s most recent work. There will also be a dance workshop on Saturday, which embodies the art - and it is designed for dancers, theatre makers and artists of all abilities. Since 2014, the program has continued to excite audiences, develop artists and showcase experimental artists among the hills. HillsceneLIVE Festival Director, Gareth Hart said this is a festival not to be missed. “2016 is by far our biggest and boldest to date, with the festival expanding to a full three day program,” Mr Hart said.

emerging and experimental arts sector of Victoria, which is one of the most thriving and pulsating creative communities in the country.” He said this year’s theme was mapping immediacy, which asked artists
to consider their work and themselves within a contemporary social space. “Every artist has tackled this theme differently, and in wonderful and wild ways,” Mr Hart said. The festival will be held at multiple
venues in Mt Evelyn, and addresses will be given upon booking. Tickets cost $25 a one-day pass, or $40 for a two-day pass. To book or for more information, visit www.hillscenelive.com

Some of us, as we grow older, are becoming more sentimental while some of us are quite the opposite. At Tecoma Jewellery Exchange, there is room for both. Mark is an old fashioned Jeweller with over 30 years of experience in jewellery making and restoration. In his workshop he loves showing his customers the process of creating individual pieces of jewellery, either in silver or gold. He guides you in creating a piece of family heirloom as unique as you are, done by yourself. Starting with melting the gold, rolling, forging, filing, cutting, soldering and polishing to the final ‘WOW’! - that’s right, in the end it’s not important how much but the WOW! So come over and let Mark take care of your treasures. When quality and personal satisfaction matter, not many jewellers can match Tecoma Jewellery Exchange. You may also want to exchange your unwanted precious metals, clocks or watches for cash. Tecoma Jewellery Exchange is open from Tuesday to Friday from 9.30 am till 5.30 pm but you can book a private session at any other time.
THE Kids Fun Run with Thomas Engine event has been postponed due to flooding around the Gembrook Station. Event co-ordinators have said, sadly, Thomas doesn’t have any flippers or a snorkel and he doesn’t want any of his friends to fall over, get wet or muddy. They have assured those who have already registered that their registration will be automatically transferred to a new date once it is known.
The event had been scheduled to be held on Sunday, 9 October, where children aged between 3 and 12 could have raced the iconic locomotive. A new date is expected to be announced shortly. The fun will include the run for kids, showbags for runners, train rides on Thomas, market stalls, a petting zoo, jumping castles, a Thomas hunt, food and more. As well as being a great day, the event is also an annual fundraiser organised by the Rotary Club of Emerald and District.
This year, registration fees go towards helping to support the Cerebral Palsy Education Centre (CPEC), which is the only centre of its kind in Australia that specialises in supporting children with cerebral palsy. Meanwhile, Victoria SES is reminding residents in the Yarra Ranges to remain vigilant as minor flooding continues to hit the region, warning river levels may reach the tops of banks or flow over into low-lying areas. They also warn local roads may be closed and low bridges may be underwater.

Pilgrimage nearing end By Peter Douglas THREE Dandenong Ranges friends have reached the closing stages of their epic Spanish pilgrimage, which aims to raise awareness about the impacts of mental illness. With a 13 October finish now within reach, Cheryl McInness of Belgrave, Kym Murphy of Kalorama and Tony Whyte of Monbulk recently reached the Santiago, Spain, stage of their participation in this year’s El Camino de Santiago. The recent milestone marks a major achievement in their 884km journey from the French Pyrenees to the north-west of Spain. During their adventure, the trio have encountered sweltering autumn days, occasional strong winds and rain, weary and blistered feet, and early morning starts. Walking at a pace of four kilometres per hour, with a few rest stops for coffee and tapas, Cheryl, Kym and Tony cover anywhere from 20km to 30km per day. In her blog about the adventure, Kym told of the challenges they had encountered. “The Camino has a way of
bringing people and situations when you least expect it,” she said. “Often, they are to answer a request, no matter how long ago it was made, or to hold up the mirror, to teach you something. “There may be a synchronicity, a random act of kindness from a stranger, or something that addresses a fear or activates you in some way.” Though, she said it was the special experiences that made it all worthwhile. “When we were in Torres del Rio, an elderly Spanish lady sat next to me at a cafe and sang while tapping her walking stick on the ground to create the beat,” she said. “My heart filled with so much gratitude and joy, I almost cried. “It is these things that make the Camino so special.” Cheryl, Kym and Tony plan to finish the Camino Santiago de Compostela on or near 13 October, during Mental Health Week. Their efforts are also on behalf of Wellways Australia, a not-for-profit mental health and disability support organisation, and the ‘1 Million Steps for
Mental Health’ event. Tony met Cheryl and Kym on the Camino in 2014, when they were embarking on their first one. They became good friends, having a common love of the Dandenong Ranges. For the trio, the desire to walk the Camino again is about promoting a better understanding of mental illness. Ms McInness said the trio felt extremely motivated to complete the journey. “We each know, from personal experience in our own family, about the impacts of mental illness,” she said. “We also know what a difference the right kinds of support can make.” Ms McInness has two adult sons, one of whom has a mental illness. “I am grateful for the quality of life he has, and for the intelligent and beautiful human being that he is,” she said.

STICKERS have been distributed throughout the Yarra Ranges to encourage those going through tough times, to seek help instead of feeling isolated. The Need to Chat sticker campaign was developed as part of Mental Health Week on 9 to 15 October, by Yarra Ranges Council’s Youth Reference Group. The campaign aims to tackle, and raise awareness for depression and anxiety, two of the top issues facing young people across Australia today. Stickers will appear in various locations including: Mooroolbark, Yarra Junction, Healesville, Belgrave and in languages such as English, Chin Haka, Chin Zomi and Karen. Reference group member Tiffany Kuiper, of Lilydale, said the campaign also let people know that if they were feeling down, not to be ashamed. “There is a lot of stigma around mental illness, and we hope these stickers will help people feel more at ease,” Ms Kuiper said. The sticker depicts a young person stuck in a black hole, showing that there is a way out no matter how alone some peo-

The Family on film
Crime is up 24 per cent
By Peter Douglas
By Jodie Symonds and Peter Douglas
THE Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is delighted to be presenting four of its most exciting films at the Cameo Theatre in Belgrave on Friday, 14 October. In a first for the region, MIFF has included the popular Belgrave attraction as part of its regional tour, with the MIFF Travelling Showcase aiming to support both international and Australian-made works. MIFF Artistic Director, Michelle Carey, told the ‘Mail’ she expected the films would generate plenty of interest locally. “You can go to a multiplex at any time, but to see this at a historic site such as the Cameo is a unique experience,” she said. “Two out of the four films are documentaries ... most are uplifting in their own way.” Included at the Belgrave tour are ‘The Death and Life of Otto Bloom’, ‘Ella’ and ‘Long Way North’. But one which will be of particular interest includes a film that brings to life a dark passage in the history of Ferny Creek. The documentary ‘The Family’ turned the heads of film critics after its debut at the MIFF and will feature at Belgrave. The feature-length film focuses on the sect known as The Fam-
SEVERAL alarming incidents over the past week have occurred as crime statistics in the Yarra Ranges showed an overall increase of 24 per cent over the 2016 financial year. Over this period, Crime Statistics Victoria revealed there had been 8803 offences in the Yarra Ranges local government area, up from 7089 in the 2015 financial year, with increases in all major offence divisions. This included drug offences (up 28.7 per cent), property and deception offences (+ 15.4 per cent), and public order and security offences (plus 33.3 per cent). One of the more alarming individual trends was an increase in offences of arson, with 135 cases, an increase of 77.6 per cent. The statistics were released after a spate of disturbing cases in the Yarra Ranges. These included a Lilydale man, 23, and a woman, 22, who were charged at midnight on Wednesday, 5 October, over the possession of drugs and knives. Also, a Lilydale man, 42, was arrested shortly after 12am on Tuesday, 4 October, for causing damage to students’ cars parked outside of Mount Lilydale Mercy College. Meanwhile, Mooroolbark police located a disorientated man, 23, running naked through the main street of Lilydale, about 5.30pm, on Wednesday 5 October. State Member for Eastern Victoria Region, and Shadow Victoria Police Minister, Ed O’Donohue, said there were not enough first-response police officers available. “The Yarra Ranges has seen a 24 per cent jump in crime, while police numbers have been slashed by almost five per cent,” Mr O’Donohue said. “(Victorian Premier) Daniel Andrews needs to give police the resources needed to re-open all the police stations that have been forced to cut their hours and put more police on the streets. “That means fewer police to attend urgent call-outs for home invasions, carjackings and family violence.” Meanwhile, State Member for Eildon, Cindy McLeish, said Victorians were getting sick and tired of waking to yet another story about criminals running rampant in their towns, due to police cuts. “Make no mistake, these crime statistics are the result of Daniel Andrews’ cuts to police, closing of police stations, and weakening of bail laws,” she said. Offences across the Yarra Ranges LGA: Belgrave: 241 to 327 (up 35.6 per cent); Mount Evelyn: 288 to 446 (up 54.8 per cent); Emerald: 263 to 188 (down 28 per cent); Ferntree Gully: 1519 to 1582 (up 4.1 per cent); Warburton: 113 to 145 (up 28.3 per cent); Healesville: 388 to 409 (up 5.4 per cent); Yarra Junction: 136 to 137 (up 0.7 per cent); Seville: 83 to 148 (up 78 per cent); Wandin: 18 to 55 (up 205 per cent); Coldstream: 115 to 87 (down 24.3 per cent); Marysville: 8 to 28 (up 250 per cent); Yarra Glen: 75 to 105 (up 40 per cent); Lilydale: 1320 to 1861 (up 40.9 per cent); Cockatoo: 216 to 233 (up 5.4 per cent).

Ms Carey said there were international representatives in the industry who were taking real notice of this film. “We weren’t sure how it was going to be received, but it’s being talked about,” she said. “It’s moving and emotional, but is also a story of resilience.
“Many of those affected, including one of the lead investigators, were present at the film, in what was a truly moving moment. “The first screening was incredible. “There was a standing ovation and it was a real drop-dead moving moment.” Meanwhile, ‘Ella’ showcases the personal journey of the Australian Ballet’s first Indigenous dancer, Ella Havelka.
‘The Death and Life of Otto Bloom’ features acclaimed actor Rachel Ward (‘The Thorn Birds’), her daughter Matilda Brown and Xavier Samuel (the ‘Twilight’ series); while ‘Long Way North’ is described as a beautifully animated film suitable for all ages and audiences.

Walk wait is over By Peter Douglas AFTER more than two years in the making, the Mount Dandenong and District Historical Society is set to launch the anticipated Olinda Heritage Walk on Saturday, 15 October. Designed to offer a snapshot of village life in the early 1900s, the walk features 13 plaques and a large information board, which aim to highlight sites of historical significance. The project focuses on the Olinda Village settlement pre-1915 and has received enormous support from local businesses and organisations. Historical Society member Wendy Britt said the work to get the project to launch stage was well worth the effort. “What we’re trying to communicate to people is there were early pioneers here, but it was in the early 1900s, before the Great Depression, the character really started to develop,” she said. “The government opened up 10acre blocks to try to get life happening in Olinda. “Not all those settlers were successful in growing things, but many stores took hold.
“Olinda became a hub ... with butchers and blacksmiths.” The Historical Society says the actual township of Olinda had its beginnings in 1895, when the first lots in the Olinda Township Reserve were offered for auction. In a short space of time, the Olinda township grew to include a variety of businesses and services supporting the community. There were coach services introduced to the township; firstly, horse and buggy, then motorised, which provided transport for locals and visitors. Ms Britt said the project aimed to help people reflect. “The plaques are set in close proximity to where these historical sites were believed to be - to give a sense of what the Olinda village would’ve looked like,” she said. To aid in the experience, Neil Johnson, president of the society, said a booklet to complement the walk had been produced, with support from several local traders. “We believe that both locals and visitors alike will enjoy learning about the story of the historic Olinda Village,” he said.

Pictured from left are Geoff Parton, Cheryl Donald, Judy Ischia (from Mangana), Wendy Britt, Patricia Hogan and Wendy Wicks. 160253 Picture: ROB CAREW In addition, there will be a large sign at Mangana in the main street, which will give a comprehensive guide. One of the major supporters of the heritage walk has been Yarra Ranges councillor, Noel Cliff, who helped to secure funding for the project. Cr Cliff owned a shop in Olinda for more than 20 years and has a strong affinity with the region. He said it was important to recognise the township’s past. “Things change in towns and people always say, ‘We’ll keep in with the scheme of things’, but it’s rubbish, it’s never exactly the same,” he said.
“This is a great idea, marking out and reflecting on what has been here before.” Cr Cliff paid tribute to the behind-the-scenes work of Pat Hogan from the historical society, whom he said had a wealth of knowledge when it came to the area. He said there had been a huge swell of support for this project and thanked all those who had contributed. The Olinda Heritage Walk will be launched at the Olinda Hall on Saturday, 15 October. Displays will be on show from 1.30pm to 3.30pm, with the official launch taking place at 2pm.

A daily ritual By Jodie Symonds SASSAFRAS resident Colin Batt and his four-year-old Labrador Emma have been delighting Sassafras shop owners on their morning daily walks. The pair walks through the town at about 10.30am during rain, hail or shine - and greets customers and shopkeepers along the main street. Mr Batt has quite a following, with shopkeepers waiting out the front of their businesses to say hello to him and Emma. He said walking through the town was a mix of socialising and exercise. “I do like to keep fit, but we’re only doing a small walk today because of the weather,” Mr Batt said. “It’s good for her (Emma) because she gets a walk and gets to say hello to everybody. “She’s very spoilt though, some people feed her.” He said he had always loved
Labradors, because they were kind and obedient. “Emma is my sixth Labrador and she’s a very good dog,” Mr Batt said. “She loves attention, though. I could be 50 feet away from someone and she’ll just plonk her bottom down and not move until she gets to say hello to that person and gets a pat.” Manager at Creswick Natural Fibres in Sassafras, Lyn Gubbins said she loved seeing Mr Batt and Emma walk past her shop every day. “He just makes me so happy,” Ms Gubbins said. “I love to give Emma a pat every morning and it just brightens your day. “Emma is such a gorgeous dog.” Ms Gubbins said Mr Batt was a lovely man. “He’s around the same age as my dad, and he is just so friendly and he really does make you smile every morning,” Ms Gubbins said.

THE residents of Cardinia have important decisions to make in the next few weeks about their representatives for the next four years. Congratulations to the Upper Beaconsfield Association for conducting a Meet the Candidates for Ranges Ward. It was enlightening and demonstrated the contrasts between candidates. Seven of the nine candidates presented - two current councillors, three former councillors and two first-time candidates. Ranges Ward has been very well served over the past four years by representatives who understand community consultation, listen and think before making decisions. While Cr Baxter has decided not to recontest, Leticia Wilmot and Brett Owen deserve continued support. One of the former councillors wants to separate from Cardinia, but has not undertaken the most elementary analysis of the viability of the idea, or if it would get the required State Government support. A better approach would be to forget about running for council at this time and do the required work. Building takes much more skill than demolishing and Cardinia needs people who want to build the future. The other two former councillors want to return to the past. How can we forget that they led the decision of previous council, without quality consultation, to buy the land of a private club for about $4 million and lease it back for 50 years at $1 per annum. The benefits to ratepayers have been minimal, if any. There are important differences between representation and good community consultation. The first-time candidates who presented were David Phillips and Shoheli Sunjida. They both presented well and demonstrated their capacity to listen and consult. Neither has much experience of local government, but if elected are likely to develop their
knowledge of local government very quickly. We all want good representation. Now is our chance to set the direction for the next four years. We can go forward with people who want to build the future, or go back to the past. Ian Robins, Cockatoo.

Give you a tip MY PARTNER and I were going for a jog in Sherbrooke forest on Friday, 30 September (AFL Grand Final day public holiday). We don’t usually park at Grants Picnic Ground, due to it being busy on weekends and public holidays. However, it wasn’t too busy when we drove past and decided to enter. We were shocked as we drove in and the first thing you could see were rubbish bins overflowing, directly in front of the cafe. The picnic ground had no less than four coaches and tourists walking around. Being locals, we felt very embarrassed. This is the first thing overseas visitors see when they arrive at our beautiful forest. Surely a busy cafe and gift shop could use a dumpster-style bin and store it off to the side. I really think more of an effort could be made. Luke James, Belgrave.
Need more time WHILE I believe that Mr (Paul) O’Halloran’s assessment of the impact of the proposed C148 Amendment (‘Call for more time’, ‘Mail’, 4 October) is somewhat astray, I believe he is absolutely correct in arguing for more time. The process and supporting ‘information’ pack for this amendment is confused and unclear and provides both incoherent and insufficient information on the nature of the change. I am particularly concerned at the rather ‘siloed’ approach taken to the engagement of ‘Ecology Australia’ to undertake a native vegetation inventory (which is the basis of the changes proposed in the C148 Amendment) without any consideration of the bushfire modelling being undertaken by the Department of Environment, Land and Water and Planning, or the collective emergency services, nor any of the other complex strategic overlays necessary to ensure a sound and sustainable strategic planning approach to securing the economic, social and environmental fundamentals for the future of the communities of the Shire of Yarra Ranges. The work of ‘Ecology Australia’ in mapping remnant and valuable native vegetation and habitat is invaluable, but not when it is considered in isolation. I believe it is very telling that a review of the candidates for local government in my own ward of Stretton sees no candidate willing to speak against some of the more extreme environmental views which truly underpin the C148 agenda. Intelligent, clear-thinking people with a commitment to a truly 'sustainable future’ for the Shire of Yarra Ranges have had neither the time nor the appropriate background information to be providing clear and considered input into the C148 process, but one suspects that that was
Stay on Watch I AM not happy with the (Victorian) Government’s cuts to the Neighbourhood Watch Program. Neighbourhood Watch is a community-based crime prevention program that assists communities in the Yarra Ranges to work together and keep residents safe. The timing is a blow for Neighbourhood Watch Week, which started 3 October. Daniel Andrews and Police Minister Lisa Neville have slashed funding for Neighbourhood Watch, leaving it with only a part-time acting CEO and a part-time administration person. The former full-time CEO, Gill Metz, was forced to resign after funding was withdrawn by the State Government recently. Neighbourhood Watch aims to improve the quality of life within a neighbourhood by minimising preventable crime and promoting closer community ties. 12321525-PB36-16

The program relies on the community, volunteers and the police working together in a partnership to achieve these aims. I have in the past chaired the AGM for the Mount Evelyn Neighbourhood Watch and found them to be a great bunch of people who care about their community and others safety. We need organisations like Neighbourhood Watch because they support our police efforts and promote a sense of community. The police force needs this support to work effectively in protecting our safety at home and on the street. We should not see Neighbourhood Watch as a past its day program but an integral part of our community safety and volunteer spirit. Christine Fyffe, State Member for Evelyn.
It still burns HAVING been a CFA volunteer for 45 years, I share Rob Pitcher’s attachment to the CFA (‘Face fire facts’, ‘Mail’, 4 October, 2016). However, I am greatly concerned that the VFBV (Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria) has been stirring up community concern for purely Liberal Party political purposes. They have grossly misrepresented parts of the EBA. Firstly, it would be appropriate for Rob to quote from the latest, now agreed, version of the EBA. Note that seven are to be dispatched (only at integrated stations) and will be turned back if not required. Many clauses (that affect paid firefighters only) require UFU (United Firefighters Union) consultation, but do ‘not’ give the UFU any power to veto. A volunteer caller to talkback radio from a small brigade in the Otways said that "None of this EBA stuff affects us in anyway. We couldn’t care less. The VFBA does not represent our views". I suggest that Gembrook brigade would be similar. Geoff Champion, Mount Dandenong.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2016 - YARRA RANGES
Tim Heenan.
Andrew Henley.
Maria McCarthy.
Tony Stevenson.
Geoff Pain.
Sue McMurdie.
TIM HEENAN Mount Evelyn Billanook Ward Why are you running to be a councillor on Yarra Ranges Council? I retain the passion from when I was councillor for seven years. I believe there is so much more I can do for the Lilydale and Mount Evelyn communities. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? Stopping the waste of $28 million on the shire offices Have a review of why rates are so high Review how the council spend your money Better upkeep of roads and assets. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? They need a community person who speaks their language and has the commitment to stand up to the bureaucracy in the council. I have proven my value before, and will do so again.
ANDREW HENLEY Billanook Ward Why are you running to be a councillor on Yarra Ranges Council? I am a local resident who is concerned about the impact of political donations on our democracy. I am standing for a more transparent and accountable council. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? Ensuring that council funds are used efficiently to ensure that support services and council facilities always improve. We should be able to enjoy the lifestyle that attracted us to this great municipality without suffering constant rate rises. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? I am a young father who understands the importance of council services to families in the Yarra Ranges. I am determined to see a change from the “business as usual“ approach of our old councillors.
MARIA MCCARTHY Lilydale Billanook Why are you running to be a councillor on Yarra Ranges Council? As the current, first time councillor, I learnt a new term, “The Bell Curve” of learning. I have discovered over the last four years that my ‘Bell Curve’ is still curving up as there has been so much to learn in Local Government. Hence, I would like to do another term to now put into practice what I have learnt over the last four years. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? The issues that are most important for me in this election is that the boundary lines have changed for Billanook. If I am successful at becoming re-elected, my issue will be to maintain and build my relationships with all the volunteer community groups and residents who now fall under Billanook Ward. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? I will continue to focus on lowering costs and delivering services. I will effectively advocate addressing issues that are raised with me.
TONY STEVENSON Chandler Ward Why are you running to be a councillor on Yarra Ranges Council? I am committed to ensuring Yarra Ranges remains a fantastic place to live, work and play. I have the time and energy to work hard to protect our natural beauty and way of living, strengthen our communities and push council to deliver better services and value for money. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? The biggest issue is ensuring council delivers a fair go for ALL the diverse communities right across Chandler Ward. You can’t play favourites. Council must be more consultative and transparent, and be focused on delivering the necessary services cost-effectively. An effective council will keep downward pressure on rates. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? My promise is simple: I will be an active, hard working, independent and committed voice for you. I have 20 years of senior management experience in an ASX200 company. I have the skills and experience to work with everyone in the community and all parts of council.
DR GEOFF PAIN Monbulk Chandler Why are you running to be a councillor on Yarra Ranges Council? A ratepayer in the area for 33 years, I now have the time and energy to devote to representing my fellow citizens. I was prompted by the wasteful 5:4 decision to spend $28 million on refurbishment of the council office, and if elected will try to reverse it. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? We need more local government action on sustainability, global overheating, poverty, homelessness, disengaged vulnerable youth, jobs, feral pests, threatened species protection, aged care, ambulance, bus transport, dental and medical services, better footpaths and nature trails, lower and fairer rates, encouragement for small business, more recycling and lower tip charges. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? Living in Chandler Ward, have visited all 420 streets, available seven days per week for community. Political experience will help us get a fair go for Chandler and the shire from State and Federal governments. Qualifications in science, management, economics, strategy and innovation will complement skills of other team members.
SUE MCMURDIE Seville Chandler Why are you running to be a councillor on Yarra Ranges Council? Running for a position on council is a natural progression of my long community involvement. I have the ability to actively represent, not just the residents of Chandler Ward, but also residents across the Yarra Ranges shire. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? The most important issue for me is “Community First”. The need for a local councillor who will be accessible, available and responsive to all residents, advocating strongly for all sections of the community. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? A vote for Sue McMurdie will elect a strong, compassionate and caring women that will work well as part of a team of councillors doing the very best for all residents. I have the energy, passion and the time to do the job.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2016 - YARRA RANGES
MIKE CLARKE Lyster Ward Ferny Creek Why are you running to be a councillor with Yarra Ranges Council? I would like to continue to be involved with the whole community to help and resolve issues to make lives easier and better and continue the unfinished activities I have undertaken in the last 18 months that I’ve been on council. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? Improving road maintenance standards, getting Special Charge Schemes to be affordable and acceptable to residents wanting roads sealed, advocating for a new bus transport system throughout the Dandenongs and surrounds that supports public transport needs, tourist needs, promotes eco-tourism, supports an evacuation plan in emergency situations, with overall outcomes of reducing traffic congestion and parking pressures. A high priority is to protect our environment by removing weeds, replanting and restoring damaged areas, appropriate fuel reduction, encouraging energy saving technologies, renewable energy sources and dealing with climate change and emergency planning.
KRISTOPHER RECKE Tecoma Why are you running to be a councillor with Yarra Ranges Council? I’m running on three points - I want some more transparent councillors - we need to hold our councillors; Many people don’t know who our current councillor is, and that’s an issue they need resolved - they don’t know who to turn to and I want to change that; I also believe that the council needs to be held more accountable for some of our major planning decisions. I think we need to promote sustainable development in the Dandenong Ranges, especially around the townships of Belgrave and Tecoma. It brings money in and has a flow on effect. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? One thing that I’ve found when speaking to a lot of people is that we’ve got a brilliant musical community that’s received next to no support from local council. One of the things I’d be pushing for us to get a council-sponsored platform for local artists, to sort-of get exposure and provide contact details and help them get that first step out there, in the style of Triple J Unearthed - why not have a Yarra Ranges Unearthed.
CATHERINE KEIL Olinda Why are you running to be a councillor with Yarra Ranges Council? I am running for council elect because I’m passionate about our community and protecting our unique environment. I will bring a strong focus on biodiversity, community networking, accountable rates expenditure and I will pursue solutions and outcomes to address local concerns, for example, air quality and safety on our local roads. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? There are many answers that come to mind regarding important issues in this election, however a couple stand out, the quality of community living and the environment around us. I believe we have a precious and delicate hills environment. The need to protect our wildlife and address the invasive weeds issue. It’s time to give the community a stronger voice.
Editor’s note: Two more candidates - Lisa Di Battista and Len Cox - will appear next week. Another candidate, Jaclyn Strutton, has not yet responded.
DAVID FRANCIS Streeton Ward Olinda Why are you running to be a Councillor with Yarra Ranges Council? It’s time the community has someone with energy who will listen to their issues and followup on solutions. I am ethical and honest and I have experience as an environmental engineer giving high level advice to councils and water and energy authorities to increase their efficiency. I will hold the council accountable to deliver the services our community needs. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? I love living in the Yarra Ranges and I want to see more of the services expected in the city to be available here too. More council rates need to go toward supporting: action on homelessness, senior citizens, footpaths, parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities, waterways, weed management and protecting our unique environment, local tourism businesses, bike tracks, sealing high usage gravel roads, lobbying the State Government for better public transport services, and solar and other renewables.
NOEL CLIFF Macclesfield Why are you running to be a councillor with Yarra Ranges Council? Because I feel I’ve got the skills, now, that I can contribute to what people want. It’s about people for me - providing for what people need in their dayto-day lives. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? It’s trying to keep costs down for the average person. Things are a bit tough in the economy and I think the trick is to make sure we won’t put any more stress on their lives through finances and charges. And keeping the services they want, keep them up to date, so they don’t have that extra stress during this time of their lives. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? I’d like to think that my past track record, I hope, represents some examples of how good I’ve done and admittedly, there’ve been some spots where I could improve, but overall I think I’ve done a pretty damn good job of looking after people during my time with council.
BILL BRINDLE Tecoma Why are you running to be a councillor with Yarra Ranges Council? I am running because I feel that our side of the mountain is neglected by what is patently a Lilydale centric local government. This has been the case since the old Shire of Sherbrooke disappeared. What issues are most important to you, in terms of this election? Strengthening community through the active support of our volunteers, targeting wasteful spending and the hubris which allows $28 million to be spent on new council buildings whilst our services are reduced. Reinforcing the fact that council is meant to serve the community. A fact they seem to have forgotten. Why should your ward’s residents vote for you? Because I am willing to fight for better services. Just as importantly, I am willing to fight for a culture which not only responds to the wishes of our electors, but also acts on their behalf.

THE name says it all - a little mad, magical and brilliantly bizarre! A unique party venue, the Cuckoo Restaurant brings people together to share the best celebrations in life. It's Oktoberfest time again at the Cuckoo, so grab your mates and your best Bavarian costume and Oktoberfest with the best you could even win a prize. It’s a brilliant Bavarian time all year round at the Cuckoo, but in October they go all out to really celebrate their roots. This year you can not only indulge in the buffet they are famous for, but you can also “Design a Dog”. What’s that, you ask? For the first time, the Cuckoo will be having a barbecue outside where you can design your own mini Bavarian hot dog.
Grab your roll, choose your bratwurst or kransky and add whatever toppings you can squash, squeeze or pour into your Designer Dog! But there’s a catch - you have to wear a Bavarian bib to get your hot dog. Yes, seriously, a bib is your pass to the free barbecue. Leave room for dessert, though, because they are setting up an amazing pretzel paradise. Alongside the usual array of cakes and pastries will be a mountain of freshly baked soft dough pretzels with a choice of four decadent dipping sauces (chocolate, caramel, berry coulis and sour cherry). Yum! You’ll be in heaven. Wandering minstrels will add to the festivity inside and out; so while you enjoy a refreshing German beer in the
beer garden, you won’t miss out on the live music. Not into beer? Then try one of their delicious blue and white cocktails, designed to represent the colours of the Bavarian flag. The traditional Bavarian floor show will of course be a part of every session with some schunkelling, yodelling, cowbell ringing and evening slap dance. So plan to step out of your everyday mad, sit back and soak up the magic that is the Cuckoo for this Oktoberfest: Friday 21 to Sunday, 23 October. The Cuckoo Restaurant is located at 508 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Olinda. For more details, contact (03) 9751 1003 or visit www. cuckoorestaurant.com.au.

Agro products and services UNDER the enthusiastic guidance of newly appointed president, William Anker, the organising committee of the Wandin-Silvan Field Days is busily planning and preparing this year’s event, in anticipation of building upon past successes. Now in its 47th year, they look forward to welcoming exhibitors and visitors from across the country to this significant local community event. The Wandin-Silvan Field Days continues as a not-for-profit organisation, operated and run by a committee of local volunteers, some of whom have a history of involvement, dating back to the first event. The Field Days foster community involvement, with local schools and community groups providing catering and other services as their major fundraising opportunity. The 2016 Wandin-Silvan Field Days will again provide an opportunity for exhibitors to present a diverse range of horticultural, agricultural and lifestyle products and services; as well as information and demonstrations, directly to patrons. They actively encourage the participation of relevant exhibitors who are able to support our theme. From general farm machinery, light industrial equipment, motor vehicles and motor bikes through to irrigation equipment, water tanks, pest and weed control, fertilisers, chemicals, and fruit packaging and labelling ... the opportunities are endless! Of particular note this year: Students from Mount Lilydale Mercy College’s young farmers club will
There is plenty to see and do for all guests at the field days. 160357 showcase their skills, demonstrating a range of fencing equipment from Rural Fence and Trade. The students will also be running a pet show on the Saturday, which is open for children under the age of 18 to enter their own animal. Animals will feature strongly this year - with pony rides for the children, and displays of Galloway cattle - along with therapy chickens in aged care/ child care. Black Snake Productions - featuring an educational and informative inter-active display and talks from their snake pit - with Taipans, brown snakes,
tiger snakes, death adders, pythons, lizards, a croc and more on show in the snake pit; with reptiles to handle for the public between talks. The popular ‘general interest’ marquee section features local regional products and demonstrations of cottage industries. The Yarra Valley Machinery Preservation Society attracts enthusiasts in its own right, with a working presentation and display of machinery of yesteryear. Great cash prizes totalling $750 have been provided by the Wandin Seville Community Bank branch, and

Mad Max has grunt to burn MAD Max, the twin supercharged burn-out machine, will make a rare appearance at the Wandin Silvan Field Days this year. The V12 Detroit engine was taken out of a massive tugboat and used initially as a dynotester. Mad Max’s creator, Peter Humphris, decided the beast of a machine would make a formidable burn-out vehicle. So, inspired by the 1980s movie with Mel Gibson, Peter designed a simple, yet incredibly tough machine that would withstand any conditions and do one of the biggest burn-outs known to mankind. Mad Max will be part of the 600 Engineering display at the Field Days and kids can have their photo taken while sitting on the death-defying machine. They can experience the excitement when its earth-shaking V-12 engine starts revving.
Pictured is the Mad Max burn-out vehicle, which was inspired by the film of the same name. 160356

Wired up with all your needs RURAL Fence and Trade started trading in the Yarra Valley in January 2010. In 2011, they moved to their Coldstream location and have been distributing quality farm fencing and rural products out of this branch for more than five years. With product demand, comes growth. So, Rural Fence and Trade Whittlesea opened in May 2016. Shaun Halit (owner) is aware the ingredient to a successful business is to have the best staff. Their staff has many years’ experience and listens to your needs. Secondly, it’s imperative to offer a quality product at a competitive price. Shaun understands that there is no use telling “good” fencing contractors and serious farmers what they need; they understand the industry and the proof is clearly in the price, service and the quality. Shaun is aware that landowners embrace being introduced to new and evolving ranges of fencing product. The team is aware that after a big day on the tools, a quality product creates piece of mind. Shaun and the team say the branches at Coldstream and Whittlesea are all about supporting land and acreage owners. They welcome a visit to discuss your needs and showcase the quality of their product. It’s an Aussie made fence with a top-class, world-renowned wire. Their doors are wide open for hobby farmers, equine enthusiasts and - if
The team offers only quality, trusted products. 160359
From left are Jarrad (Whittlesea manager), Shaun, Mei Larn, Peter (Coldstream manager) and Damien. 160359 you need a good honest fencing contractor - they can refer the best in the Valley. Shaun says that when looking for a
good farm fence contractor, you need to be careful. “Your fence contractor is like your mechanic - once you have found a
good one, keep him,” he said. “Finding the good one is easy, call us and we will create the introduction to the best contractors that you can rely
on for years to come.” Their product range varies, albeit the heart beats around rural fencing items. Heavy black steel posts, hot dipped gal posts, pine posts, hinge joint and ringlock fence wire, plain wire, barb wire, farm gates, horse gates, hard wood rails, horse wire, fencing tools, and electric fencing is stocked up and ready to go. They specialise in equine fencing options. Both locations offer exceptional freight rates to anywhere in Victoria, or you can drive in and pick up. Find them at this year’s Wandin Silvan field days. Previously, they have won best stand award during three of their fours. If you want to save a buck, make sure you visit their stand at site HH. They are located at 611 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream; or their new site on the corner of Forest and Beech Street, Whittlesea.

Experts in aquarium trade FISH and Feather not only keeps a huge variety of tropical, cold water and now salt water - fish, but they can help you to keep them thriving in an aquarium that is looking fantastic, with clear water and a healthy eco system. They are getting many people coming in lately who have been “everywhere” and yet have been given so much poor advice that they have just about given up on keeping fish all together. Their aquarium is constantly green or smelly; they are losing fish frequently, their fish have undiagnosed diseases, ulcers, parasites or they are having huge problems with maintaining water quality. There are too many untrained staff members or “friends that own a test kit“ giving out advice, when they really do not understand the water quality parameters properly. There are a lot of products on the market that will actually hide or disguise a water issue, rather than get to the bottom of the problem. If someone is testing your water for you and cannot answer three simple questions, they should not be testing your water! It’s that simple. A. What is Kh, how is it used in my aquarium? B. What ph level is the right level for my species fish? C. What is the correct gh level for my species of fish? For marines, is your place of choice testing your magnesium and calcium levels?
Aquatics manager Chris Rout. 160375 Take up our offer of dropping in a test, just 100ml in a clean container. Label your test with your phone number, the species of fish (if known)
Picture: SALLY FRENCH and the size of your aquarium. They will then test your water and call you to discuss your results. This will be a drop-off and call-
back service to help you get to the bottom of the issues. This service is ‘free’ and will be running for the month of October.
Fish and Feather are located at 243245 Colchester Road, Kilsyth South. For more details, visit www.fishandfeather.com.au/or contact 9761 4410.

YOUR OWN PIECE OF HISTORY THIS beautiful, original Emerald home ‘Gleneagles’ was built in the 1920s with details of the Arts and Crafts period of that time, such as wood panelling and leadlight windows.

There are four bedrooms, the main is on the first floor with a gorgeous ensuite and huge retreat with feature stone fireplace,
which opens onto the lower balcony; a magnificent spot to have your morning coffee taking in the sun. The further three bedrooms are upstairs, as is the family room which opens onto a balcony overlooking the golf course, and there is also a beautifully renovated bathroom. The modern kitchen with Travertine floor has ample storage and flows through to the dining room with gorgeous feature windows. Add to this mains gas hydronic heating, mains water, three open fireplaces, polished Baltic floors and high ceilings.

Miss Peregrine’s School For Peculiar Children (M) Starring: Eva Green, Samuel L. Jackson and Asa Butterfield
better film, but Miss Peregrine’s is far more representative of Burton’s eccentric, Gothic style, and contains far more effort than much of Burton’s work over the past decade. Miss Peregrine’s is full of charming, well-developed characters, whose diverse abilities all factor into the funny, thrilling climax. The film is visually lush, drawing you deep into its macabre world, and the narrative blends science fiction and fantasy together very smoothly. Eva Green is captivating as ever in the title role, the school’s prim, powerful headmistress,
and Samuel L. Jackson is one of the year’s best, most terrifying villains as Mr Barron, the witty, self-satisfied leader of the Wight antagonists. The only major problems with Miss Peregrine’s are how flat Butterfield is as a lead actor, and how woefully muddled the rules regarding the school timeloops and the Hollow monsters are. Overall, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is an engaging, visually stunning and highly entertaining comeback for Tim Burton. - Seth Lukas Hynes

THERE’S no such thing as sibling rivalry when it comes to making killer tunes, according to Stonefield guitarist Hannah Findlay. Stonefield - which includes sisters Amy (vocals, drums), Hannah (guitar), Sarah (keyboard) and Holly (bass) - have just released their second album and will perform at Belgrave’s Sooki Lounge, on Sunday 16 October. Despite ‘“jamming” together since their early teens, and
developing into a renowned allsister act, Findlay says it simply feels natural for the siblings to play music together. Hannah told the Mail they wouldn’t have it any other way. “It sounds lame but we’re still each other’s best friend,” she said. “We occasionally have fights but we just move on with it pretty quickly.” The band first rose to prominence after winning Triple J’s Unearthed High competition in 2010, which propelled them to

Star batsman Daniel Mock will be sorely missed at Woori Yallock. 151849
Rain delays start to season By Chris Anderson YARRA VALLEY CRICKET ASSOCIATION for cricketers FRUSTRATIONS around the Yarra Valley as significant early spring rains put a halt to ground preparations for the upcoming cricket season. The large amount of unprepared grounds across the Yarra Ranges Council forced an early cancellation of the first round of cricket for the Yarra Valley Cricket Association and their neighbouring associations. The 2016-'17 season shapes as an intriguing one in the YVCA’s top two grades, DJ Strachan Shield and RA Finger Trophy, after both competitions experienced an extremely competitive and close fought season in 2015-'16. Woori Yallock will be the team to chase in DJ Strachan Shield as they seek a hat-trick of premierships in the top grade. The loss of reigning THR Drummond Medallist, and the competition’s leading batsman and bowler, Daniel Mock, will leave a considerable hole within their line-up. But the form of the likes of Ryan Smith, Simon Young, Jackson Wright and Ben Hayes at the peak of their powers, and a side full of consistent performers, still puts them at the head of the pack.
Hot on their heels will be the teams they conquered in the past two seasons, Healesville and Warburton-Millgrove. The Bloods rode a wave of great form post Christmas last season, which led them to a competitive showing in the grand final. The Bloods will be hoping they’ll be led well by Ash Hamer, whose form late last season drove the Bloods’ charge. Healesville have recruited some disciplined, experienced cricketers over recent seasons and, in addition to their developing youngsters, there is no reason why they won’t be around the mark this season. Warburton-Millgrove probably boast the most experienced team in the top flight and they will rely on this experience to expose their opposition, particularly in the challenging two-day format. Led by the talented Lever brothers - David, Daniel and Ben - the trio will be well supported by the likes of Liam Barnard in their quest to reach the pinnacle once again. Mount Evelyn and Yarra Junction fought it out to make finals last season and both teams will be keen to take the next step. Mount Evelyn regains the services of Kane Jones. His partnership with Gareth Fraser
will be crucial for both middle-order runs and match-winning wickets. The Rovers have a raft of talented teens searching for consistency. If a few of these can back up the efforts of Jones and Fraser, then they could surprise. Yarra Junction could prove to be the big movers in 2016-'17 as last season would’ve stung the Eagles. With Quinton Hodgkinson and Cam Spaulding atop their batting order, the Eagles can boast an explosive force early in their innings. Marcus Hottes proved a valuable foil for the pair last season as he rarely failed in keeping things together early. The keys for the Eagles are getting enough wickets and some late order runs to complement their stars. Rounding out the field of starters for DJ Strachan Shield are Seville and Yarra Glen. Seville were exposed last year with the loss of many key premiership heroes, but the young side weren’t disgraced as they put vital time into their youngsters. Matt Hadlum is a force with the ball. With several handy players with the ball, the Blues were able to restrict their opponents to chaseable totals, but their biggest challenge came with
making enough runs. All eyes will be on Yarra Glen as they rise back to the premier competition after over a decade in the lower grades. They have been quietly going about their business developing and building an impressive array of young talent and may surprise a few if they are underestimated. With former Victorian Bushranger Brendan Ricci at the helm, and with the experience of John Orren with the ball, then anything could happen with the competition’s ‘New Kids on the Block’. With a late finish to the football season, cricket has struggled to find some front page space. All clubs across the Yarra Valley are looking for keen cricketers of all ages and abilities. Season 2016-17 saw the introduction of Under 10s cricket, which proved quite popular on a Friday evening, while most clubs are looking to fill their ranks in the Under 12s, Under 14s and Under 16s ranks. Several clubs within the Yarra Valley also offer the entry-level program for beginning cricketers, Milo ‘In2Cricket’, which is aimed out our 5-8 year old cricketers which most clubs kick off in early November. There are many options for the se-
nior cricketers of all ages and abilities also; from the top grades to the social friendly lower grades and one-day grades to suit most cricketers. What better way to spend some father-son time, than to share a game of cricket on a Saturday afternoon. To keep everyone catered for, the Yarra Valley have established teams in the Over 40s, Over 50s and Over 60s, which opens the possibility for cricketers to return to the game they love, or an opportunity to start a childhood dream of playing cricket. Mount Evelyn Cricket Club also offers Over 40s and Over 60s teams. If playing isn’t your scene, there are plenty of other options including umpiring. The YVCA Umpires Association is always looking for more members to help assist in the running of the games on a Saturday. A great way to earn some money while staying involved in a great game. If you, or a member of your family, is interested in taking up the game of cricket, please contact the following, and you will be directed to your nearest club: Seniors - Chris Anderson (yvcascores@gmail.com), Juniors - Brent Watts (bwatts@stagsf.com), Veterans - Graeme Le Brocq (glebrocq@aapt. net.au), Umpires - Harry Marsh (topcat3765@gmail.com)

A win to Steve in the sun By Dennis Fuller EMERALD GOLF THE first round of the three-round championship was played at Emerald Golf Club with the ‘big shiny’ warming the cockles of the golfers’ hearts. With his chipper singing beautiful music, it was Steve Town (13) who showed the way to those lagging behind with his 81 off the beater, which translated into a leading nett score of 68.
Unfortunately for his championship aspirations, he will be away basking in northern sun next week and will be unable to push for his first win. Of those in his wake, it was left to Allan Ecclestone (24) to show the way for gross 93 and a nett 69. This put him at the head of the B Grade crew and looking a whole lot like a winner. In A Grade, Peter Glasscock (13) was next with a gross 84, while Ross
Martin (13) ever the challenger with 85 and a swish of golfer on 87 including Ken Hill, Dean Shannon and Peter Clowes. In B Grade, Ben Balfour and Philip Crossley both had a gross 98 Broc Reynolds, returning from a break, scored poorly but dominated the nearest the pins. He was nearest on the 12th, 13th and the pro pin 18th. Glasscock was nearest on the 4th
37 points to create a joint winners’ mash. Graeme Fergus, Bob Kennedy, John Keys, Neil Whiteside and Ian Scott all managed 37 points. Moss Fuller was just outside this crush when he managed 36 points, while Geraldine Wright headed the ladies’ line-up. Next week will sort out the championship a little with challenges to come and go in a whisper during the round.
and Balfour the 7th. In the ladies’ events, it seems that Brodie Reynolds has the A Grade title under control while the ever consistent Brianna McCoy has the B Grade medal almost locked away. On Wednesday, when the Old and Faded Golfers (OFG) staggered in for a stableford event, the leaders’ scoreboard become so crowded it nearly fell over. A whole bunch of ‘crusties’ scored

Kids brave the wet MORE than 100 people ignored the wet conditions to barrack for their local primary school teams in the inaugural Parish Cup at Monbulk Rangers Soccer Club last month. A combined team of St Thomas More’s Belgrave and St Paul’s Monbulk played against St Mary’s Mount Evelyn in the junior and senior divisions, with the combined schools emerging victorious in both grades
after some tough competition. The Parish Cup was the brainwave of Belgrave Parish Council chairman, Andrew Price, who wanted to encourage closer ties between the schools. Eleven students from St Paul’s Monbulk were members of the championship winning Monbulk Rangers Under 10s and Under 11s teams in this season’s Victorian Churches Football Association league.
Players from the combined team of St Paul's Monbulk and St Thomas More's Belgrave test themselves against the skill of St Mary's Mt Evelyn in the junior division of the inaugural Parish Cup. 160308
UPWEY-TECOMA BOWLS THE 2016-’17 pennant season kicked off on Saturday for Upwey-Tecoma’s three teams and saw some great results for the club. The Division 3 side had a great win in their new higher division, while the Division 6 side narrowly went down, also playing in their new higher division. Unfortunately, the Division 1 side lost to a stronger Burwood District side, but will look to bounce back next week at home. Division 1 Burwood District (1) 84/17 d Upwey-Tecoma (1) 61/1. Division 3 Upwey-Tecoma (2) 80/15 d Camberwell Central (1) 73/3. Division 6 Hampton Park (3) 83/14 d Upwey-Tecoma (3) 76/4. New players and members are always welcome and keep an eye out for the barefoot bowling season, which starts soon. Go Tigers.

Motoring Blaze your own trail time THE new Holden Trailblazer is set to become the 4x4 SUV of choice for even more families, with an array of upgrades to technology, drivability, design and safety. Previously known as Colorado 7, the new Trailblazer has received a new name and a new design to match, providing customers with premium styling and a range of high-tech features, complemented by a refined and comfortable driving experience, without sacrificing its off-road credentials. Holden’s Executive Director of Sales, Peter Keley, said with its significant engineering, feature and design upgrades, combined with competitive pricing, Trailblazer would shake up the 4x4 SUV market. “The new Trailblazer blends premium styling with impressive in-car technology, both in terms of connectivity and active safety features,” Mr Keley said. “The 2017 Trailblazer looks great and drives better than ever. “To be able to add all of the content we have without adding significantly to the price is a real win for our customers. “We’re also focused on providing support and peace of mind for our customers throughout the life of their vehicle with our lifetime capped price service program and our Australianbased customer care.” Despite a long list of technology introductions and design upgrades, the
2017 Trailblazer pricing remains largely unchanged from its predecessor. Trailblazer’s exterior styling enhancements include signature LED daytime running lamps combined with chrome accents, complementing a stylish front fascia and more muscular bonnet design. A redesigned interior includes premium heated leather seats with contrast stitching, fresh new dash and updated centre console design. Additionally, Trailblazer boasts a new eight-inch colour touch screen, with the latest Holden MyLink infotainment system and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, designed for seamless integration with the driver. Adding to interior cabin comfort, remote vehicle start allows Trailblazer to reach a comfortable cabin temperature before passengers climb in. The technology offering is further bolstered with rear park assist and reversing cameras standard across the range, while the top of the range LTZ steps it up again with front park assist and forward collision alert. Awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating, Trailblazer offers an array of active and passive safety features including additional driver’s knee airbag, hill start assist, trailer sway control and hill descent control. Side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert are added to LTZ models. Engineered for everyday adventures Developed in collaboration between
The Holden Trailblazer is set to turn heads. 160171 Holden and GM Brazil and alongside the acclaimed 2017 Holden Colorado, Trailblazer blends 4x4 capability with refined and confident on-road performance. Holden’s Lead Dynamics Engineer, Rob Trubiani, said customers’ lifestyles were central to the engineering objectives for the new Trailblazer. “Trailblazer is such a versatile car, used for anything from weekday grocery runs to weekend 4x4 driving adventures, so we had to ensure it per-
formed in a variety of situations and terrains,” Mr Trubiani said. The extensive engineering improvements include a revised steering calibration, co-developed between Holden and Brazilian engineers providing a more precise steering feel thanks to a faster steering rack ratio and less turns lock-to-lock. Other key developments in Trailblazer’s chassis include a revised set of engine, transmission and body mounts to provide a more refined and
composed ride, in addition to a new final drive ratio (only in Australia) on manual transmission Trailblazer which will improve drive quality, particularly while towing. Driver confidence is furthered with the variable steering efforts in Trailblazer’s electric power steering system, allowing it to handle more nimbly and drive like a car. The 2017 Holden Trailblazer will be on sale at Holden dealers nationwide from early this month.
Moto-vated Mason brings it home Mason said he was overjoyed by his two victories. “I’m very happy winning both titles,” he said. “I was just happy winning one title, but winning two titles just tops it off. “In the 250cc 13-u15 class, I won the first three finals and in the fourth final I had a bit of a crash, which knocked me around a bit, but I got back to fourth place in that one. “My Motorex KTM Factory Junior Racing team-mate Rhys Budd and I were just two points apart. “I was in the lead going into the last race. “I knew I had to win so I went out, tried my best and I won the championship in that class. “In the 125dd 13-u15 class, we had over 40 riders, and I qualified third in
the two heats. “In the first final, I just tried to ride my best and I got third in that one. I knew I had to win the last two to win the championship so I just went out and tried to do my best and I did and got the championship.” The Riverland Motorcycle Club hosted hundreds of riders and their families during seven days of competition and had to contend with tumultuous weather conditions which halted the competition when a massive storm hit South Australia on Wednesday, 28 September. “On Wednesday night, we got a lot of rain so the track got too wet and we had Thursday off,” he said. “On Friday, we got to ride again, and the more riding we did the better the track got.
“The track was awesome all week really, as was the competition. “Both Budd and Duffy were flying.” Mason would like to thank his Mum and Dad, KTM Australia, Dunlop Tyres, Moto Oils, Alltech Suspension, and all of his other sponsors who made attending the 2016 KTM AJMXC possible. Mason plans to compete in next year’s Victorian Junior Motocross Championships, the Rising Star Rookies in the MX Nationals, and the Australian Junior Motocross Championships that will take place in Horsham next year. You can follow Mason throughout his season via his official Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/mason.semmens.

HODDLES Creek champion Mason Semmens impressively claimed two national titles at last week’s 2016 KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championships in Renmark, South Australia, from 24 September to 1 October. During a week of intense and exciting competition, Mason not only claimed one but two national championships in the 100-125cc 13-u15 years class and the 128-150cc/200-250cc 13u15 years class. The 15-year-old won the hotly-contested 125cc 13-u15 year class by five points over Rhys Budd from NSW and Regan Duffy from Western Australia. The results were mirrored in the 250cc 13-u15 year class, with Mason winning by five points again over Budd in second place and Duffy in third place.

All Revved Up
Good and dirty By Dean Thompson THIS Saturday night, 15 October, motorsport fans are set to head through the Black Spur and into the Murrindindi Shire on their way to the Alexandra and District Speedway Club. There, race fans will watch fast and furious dirt track action at the venue that will this season hold two of the biggest Victorian titles of the season: the Street Stocks and the Standard Saloons on the speedway proper, plus the popular and entertaining Crash and Bash Victorian title through the dirt circuit dog leg section of the track. Early entries for the first event of the season suggest a couple of Standard Saloon competitors from the states North East are heading into the venue to get early runs into their engines and some track time at the title venue, while some new competitors to Street Stocks have entered in order to get laps under the belt early in the season. Alexandra Club members Nick Chrystie, Jason Meakins, Allan Poole and Tegan Bullard will need to bring their best form to compete with Corowa racer Brendan Eames, who last season had a great qualifying run at the Victorian title and Wangaratta’s Andrew Robl who can win against strong competition and is searching for consistency this season and a strong title result at Alexandra later in the year. Lenny Bates and Debbie Jones lead the local members in the Street Stocks with Bates a serious contender for a number of big race results this season fresh off a trip to Western Australia where he started his season. The ever-popular national division Junior Sedans for 10-year-olds up to 17 years of age once again looks set to have a large field on most occasions this season. Beveridge youngster Caleb Lincoln, Ricky Cornwall, Tim Gorski from Epping, Kilmore racer Courtney Meakins and Kasey Garlick are among the strong contenders. Sports Sedans feature race cars with race tyres and powerfully modified race engines; the field
