Steve Contarino and daughter Raina with team member Karen Wellsford ahead of this Saturday''s Walk With Me. 177842
Picture: Kath Gannaway.
Walking with me By Kath Gannaway 'Walk with Me', Sue Contarino's open invitation after being diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer in 2013, was taken up by hundreds of people who did just that with the first walk in 2016. Sue died last May, just a few months after the 2017 walk in February which she bravely completed, scooting along - literally, with a trademark smile on her face. It was an emotional day, and this year's Walk With Me, on Sunday, 25 February, will be a tough one for those closest to her, none more so than her husband Steve and eight-year-old daughter Raina. The invitation stands, thanks to the dedication of family and friends. Steve said right up until the day before she passed Sue was adamant she wanted Walk
With Me to continue. "As much as she could, she whispered into my ear 'everything is in place ... I've done all the work', she definitely wanted it to continue," he said as they prepare for the 42kilometre walk from Lilydale to Warburton along the rail trail. But it's not just about fulfilling a legacy, Sue didn't want the pain and tragedy of ovarian cancer to happen to anyone else. She was already in stage 3 when she was diagnosed in 2013. "If they could develop an early detection test, that would just about save every life; from what I understand, if you can get it at stage one or two, your chance of survival is really good," Steve said. Funds raised go to Ovarian Cancer Australia who support research, but importantly support women and families.
"They were pivotal with us when Sue was first diagnosed," Steve said. "They gave us the right information, suggested trials, they support you with all sorts of things." While there is an unqualified resolve to fulfil Sue's wishes, there's also an acceptance among those working on the Walk that the past nine months has been a time of grieving, pain and dealing with getting on with life as best you can. So, there are no expectations of numbers and no target. "It's the same walk, but we've simplified it a little," said Steve who added that fundamentally, it's about creating a movement. "It's not always about the money raised, it's about creating a movement, about creating awareness," he said. "It was a movement that brought such suc-
cess for breast cancer. If you create a movement you are going to save lives and financially it will look after itself. "Walk wouldn't happen without the people who support it. It's not just me, and not just Sue, all the committee, all the volunteers, the people who continue to turn up and walk, it's everyone." Walk With Me 2018 will set off at 6am from Lilydale Railway Station and participants can walk the full trail, or parts of it. What is important is that people register with a donation at www.walkwithme4oca. com. You can donate to teams or individuals, create your own team, or just make a donation as an individual. The motivation is important too ... "Noone should be diagnosed late, and no-one should lose their mum" - Steve Contarino.

Wright hits a proud goal By Peter Douglas Don Valley athlete Casey Wright has ticked off a major goal in making her Winter Olympics debut at PyeongChang, though she failed to qualify for the sprint classic quarter final. In what has been described as difficult conditions, Wright, 23, performed admirably in the qualifying race on Tuesday 13 February (local time), striving home in 3:49.80s to finish in 63rd position. The former Mount Lilydale Mercy College student finished outside the qualifying time of 3:25.80s, with Stina Nilsson from Sweden taking out first position in 3:08.74s. Wright's Australian teammates also put in a strong showing, with Jessica Yeaton finishing in 48th position and Aimee Watson in 58th position. Despite failing to qualify, Wright told the Australian Olympics Commission website she was proud of her efforts. "It was OK; it wasn't quite as fast as I wanted but I definitely gained a lot of experience skiing with all these amazing girls," Wright said. "It's pretty special to now be an Olympian. It's been at the top of my goal list for quite a few years now, so I'm stoked. I can put a big tick next to that one." European cross-country skiers traditionally dominate the gruelling sport, which was the case in the qualifying event, with the first three positions going to European competitors. To put Wright's efforts into perspective, at PyeongChang teammate Barbara Jezersek became only the fourth Australian cross-country skier to finish between 30 and 40 in an indi-

Wright's journey has been nothing short of incredible, after basing herself in Anchorage, Alaska, where she is working towards a degree in Health Science at the University of Alaska. For Watson and Yeaton, they will now compete with Jezersek in Day 6 of the competition in the women's 10km free event.
Be safe around roadworks Murrindindi Council is asking motorists to be patient, observe changed road conditions and think about the safety of workers on the shire's roads as they enter their busiest period for roadworks and construction. Murrindindi Shire Council's Infrastructure and Waste Portfolio Councillor Eric Lording said it was important that drivers respect changed traffic conditions when works are underway. "We know roadworks and delays when you are trying to get somewhere can be annoying. Our priority is to make our roads safer for everyone by ensuring our roads are well-maintained. Citing data from the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety in Queensland suggesting at least 50 deaths and 750 injuries occur to workers and the public in road worksite crashes in Australia every year, Cr Lording said it was important people recognize the safety of road crew undertaking works.

Keep an eye out for roadworks. 177883 "We need to ensure our roadworks crew, local community members themselves, get to go home safely to their families at night. I think everyone would agree that a few minutes' delay on the roads is a small price to pay for this," Cr Lording said.

Fatal crash on the Melba By Kath Gannaway Police investigations are continuing into a fatal crash on the Melba Highway at Dixons Creek on Friday, 16 February. The male driver of a ute travelling north (towards Kinglake) died at the scene as a result of a collision with a 4WD travelling in the opposite direction at around 5.45am. The male driver of the 4WD sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital for observation. Both men were the sole occupants of the vehicles involved. A semi-trailer, also travelling north, was involved in a minor crash when it clipped the ute as the crash unfolded. The driver was uninjured. CFA volunteers from Dixons Creek, Yarra Glen and Toolangi attended at the scene and with traffic control with the closure for several hours of the Melba Highway between Hargreaves Road and the Healesville-Kinglake Road. Senior Constable Bell from Mooroolbark Police confirmed that the crash happened on an 80k/ph stretch of the highway. "Until the investigation is complete we can't speculate on what happened," she said. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the collision is urged to contact Mooroolbark Police on 9725 9999, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au The death on Friday took the state road toll to 27, four more than at the same time last year. As of Sunday, 18 February, the road toll had risen to 30.

CoRE powering ahead in 2018 By Kath Gannaway Healesville CoRE (Community Renewable Energy) is powering ahead with a full program of events for CoRE members and the wider Healesville community aimed at sharing information on everything from solar hot water, heat pumps, electricity and batteries. The group which formed last year started 2018 with a workshop for members presented by Community Power Agency's Tom Nockolds and Franziska Mey. CoRE chair Jeff Barlow said the meeting, attended by 22 members, was a productive start to the year. "This was about capacity building for our group and gave people a much clearer idea about the different financial models that can be set up to provide finance for individuals and businesses in terms of solar panels, batteries and heat pumps.," Mr Barlow said. The program is a mix of similar capacity
building workshops for members, and community meetings aimed at providing information and a resource for the broader community. The first of these is on Saturday, 24 February on Solar Hot Water and Heat Pumps. Facilitated by local experts, the focus will be on what households, community groups and businesses need to know about solar hot water before committing to buy a system. The session is from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Two more two-hour community meetings are scheduled for Saturday, 28 April on Solar Electricity production and Storage and on Saturday, 26 May addressing Solar Energy for Landlords and Tenants - Income from Solar Production. Facilitated by local experts and Bjorn Sturmberg from SunTenants, this workshop aims to help tenants and landlords understand how newly developed technology can enable the landlord to sell power to the tenant so that both gain financially. In March CoRE members will have an op-

Double the VicRoads fun ings with local government and communities. Council will also call on VicRoads to provide more consultation around setting speed limits. Cr Stevenson said he could think of numerous examples that needed attention, particularly around areas where children frequent. "The Seville Water Play Park is surrounded by two significant roads. The Seville-Monbulk Road is 60kmh in one direction and 50kmh in the other direction," Cr Stevenson said. "This is something brought to the attention of VicRoads over 12 months ago and nothing has happened. Now, that is a disaster waiting to happen."
By Peter Douglas Yarra Ranges Council has unanimously slammed suggestions VicRoads should be split into urban and country divisions. After signing off on a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into VicRoads' management of country roads, council, at its Tuesday 13 February meeting, condemned the potential dismantling of the roads authority. Councillors Jim Child, Tony Stevenson, Tim Heenan and Fiona McAllister were particularly harsh on talk of the move, labelling it a waste of funds and potentially further jeopardising the maintenance of local roads. The suggestion of a split only came to Council's attention after staff became aware of the inquiry just one week before submissions closed on 15 January, despite submissions being called for in November last year. Cr McAllister said a VicRoads' divide would be disastrous for the Yarra Ranges. "The thought of a split sends absolute shivers up my spine. In terms of doubling the bureaucracy with an agency that's already struggling for cash to deliver the services that it needs to," Cr McAllister said. "I can just see a process that will take several years and suck up millions ... and it will end up a poorer result for us. "I just think this is a real critical issue. Roads come up on our agenda and, in every survey we do, it tops the pops every time in terms of community importance." VicRoads manages about one quarter of Yarra Ranges' 2300km of roads network, of which only 65km comprise unmade arterial roads. Yarra Ranges councillors and officers were entrusted with compiling a response for the inquiry, which seeks to measure the effectiveness of VicRoads, as well as its funding model. The response will help to shape how roads

Cr Fiona McAllister was one of many councillors to speak out against a VicRoads split. 159535 in the Yarra Ranges may be managed in the future. Cr Jim Child said Council officers have "hit the nail on the head" when preparing a response, which includes calls for better consultation with council and community. "VicRoads has to establish senior, management-level consultation with councils. This is something that used to happen in the past but that fell away," Cr Child said.
Regeneration Burns in Central Highlands VicForests, as part of Forest Fire Management Victoria, will commence planned regeneration burns in the Central Highlands in the coming weeks.
"VicRoads should have a program of annual consultation with council and also the community. "Our officers have a good rapport with VicRoads, but I think what we're trying to put forward to the inquiry is 'are they appropriately funded for the job'. The Yarra Ranges Council response also includes calls for increased funding levels and establishment of better mechanisms for deal-

through the market and continued on to enjoy a morning tea at the senior citizens hall over the road, which also had stalls. It seems to me that there is a natural flow which would be lost if there were buildings on that lawned area, and a boxed-in feeling, rather than the pleasant, open space that leads from one part of the market to the other, and further. One of the stall-holders was very concerned about the possible loss of the space and said that in some months it was quite a task to get a stall space as the market is so well supported with people wanting to sell their goods. As an outsider, but someone who visits more than occasionally as a tourist, I would urge people in Healesville to keep the space open and value what you have before it is gone. Once that land is built on, it can't be returned to the beautiful open space you have there now. Betty Merchant Ringwood

Mr Edwards said Council officers had been visiting schools during pick up and drop off times to talk about parking regulations and appropriate areas to park.

One of the re-occurring criticisms of the Labor Government has been a lack of community consultation on various projects. In an attempt to look like it is doing the right thing, the Government came up with a marketing ploy known as 'Engage Victoria'. Through this taxpayer-funded platform, the Government solicits community input under the guise of 'community consultation'. However, I have seen on several occasions where the community felt there was little 'consultation' and the Government-made decisions were contrary to local expectations. It is apparent the Government used this same engage-community ploy to further its agenda to shut down Haining Farm and return the area to bushland. It is a decision we know is unpopular with and concerning for residents in Don Valley and the surrounding Yarra Valley district. Therefore, it comes as no surprise the Min-

The vets at Healesville Sanctuary's Australian Wildlife Health Centre are celebrating the arrival of two new hatchlings, after saving a wounded pregnant turtle. In November, Lucia, a Common Longnecked Turtle was brought to the Australian Wildlife Health Centre after being rescued from a dog attack. The little turtle needed emergency surgery upon arrival and, once x-rayed, vets realised Lucia was pregnant with 13 little eggs - which would have to be removed for her own health."The strain of laying these eggs post-surgery would have meant that her injuries would struggle to heal" said Senior Veterinarian Leanne Wicker "so we performed an emergency caesarean and took on the job of incubating and hatching the eggs on behalf of mum." After waiting patiently for just over two months, Lucia's first two eggs hatched and mum and both bubs were released back into the wild two weeks ago in Garfield where they were found. On Thursday 15 February she was joined by two more babies. Australian Wildlife Health Centre vet nurse, Ellen Richmond, who has been caring for the new arrivals said it has been a rewarding experience saving and releasing the turtles back into the wild. "It's really rewarding to release these little ones back to the wild because we gave them a chance at life and ultimately that's why we are here."

Riders for a good cause By Kath Gannaway Great Divide Trail Riders Club (GDTRC) have made some impressive donations over the years and their latest is one that will make a huge difference for people dealing with cancer. The group has run four fund-raising rides in memory of Madison Mason, the daughter of club members Simon and Alison Mason. Ride For Madi commemorates Madison who had Rubenstein Taybi Syndrome and who sadly passed away at just 20 years of age in 2013. The GDTRC's fourth Ride For Madi raised $9000 which on Saturday, 3 February, was handed over to the Nicholas Timms Foundation in Healesville.
The Foundation, founded in memory of little Nicholas Timms, who passed away at 21-months old from a rare and aggressive malignant tumour. Nikki Hearne from GDTRC said the group wanted to help the Foundation which is developing a cancer retreat in Healesville. The ride was held over the Labour Day weekend in 2017 and was a huge success with more than 100 riders taking part and others joining the event as campers. "It was a great weekend and everyone who took part would be really happy to see this money going to such a good cause," Ms hearne said. She said the group were also very pleased to be supporting a local project.

Mont De Lancey turns 25 By Kath Gannaway There are the original pioneers of Wandin, and then there are the pioneers of the wonderful institution that is today's Mont De Lancey. Moira Burgi, Linda Chapman, Lance Sebire and Len Howell are four of Netta and Neville Lord's troupe of volunteers who 25 years ago took on the job of restoring the original homestead and gardens and transforming the outbuildings into the museum, restaurant and blacksmith's forge that visitors enjoy today. The Lords, now passed on, were the driving force behind the development of the historic precinct that opened to the public in 1993. Henry Sebire migrated from Guernsey in the 1860s and purchased the 80 acre property which he cleared and farmed, later building the brick homestead and moving his family from Collingwood to their new home. Generations of the Sebire family lived in the brick house until 1993 when the family donated a parcel of land to the Mont De Lancey Trust, still run by volunteers. Moira, Linda, Lance and Len are justifiably proud to have been part of what is a rare example of community pitching in and making something tremendous and enduring happen. "It came about because Neville and Netta, a granddaughter of Henry, wanted to have something to keep the heritage of the area alive," said Lance, also a grandchild of Henry. Lance smiles when asked about all the hard work that went into recreating Mont De Lancey. "We didn't know it was going to be as much hard work as it turned out to be," he said. "We all put in a lot of hours, but we were pleased to do it." "The house had fallen into bad disrepair and it took a long time to get it up to what you see now."
The kitchen building and gardens at Mont De Lancey. 176974
Mont De Lancey''s new-era pioneers (from left) Linda Chapman, Moira Lance Sebire, Moira Burgi and Len Howell. 176974 Picture: Rob Carew Linda, whose parents were Reg and Gwen Sebire, lived in the house before she married. "We had nine kids in the house which at that time had a laundry, bathroom and another room on the side," she recalled. Two of her brothers were mechanics and
the old tin shed, full of old car bodies, was transformed into the museum which houses collections of photos and artefacts of Wandin's pioneering families. The cow shed is now a restaurant, but had also been used as a sleep-out for orchard workers.
Moira is now 101 and recalls the early days when her father and mother battled away day to day to make a living. Her wedding photo is part of the collection. Having that history, and heritage preserved is clearly something she is pleased to have had a hand in. On Sunday, 4 March, they will meet with others who were part of the Mount De Lancey revival for the 25th anniversary which takes place between 10am and 1pm. Manager Jill sebire said they are looking forward to what will be a lovely reunion for those current day pioneers, and the chance for others to see just what has been achieved by a dedicated band of volunteers. A Twilight Festival will follow with market stalls, children's activities, live music, Devonshire teas and a licensed kiosk from 1pm to 7pm. Visit www.montdelancey.org.au , or phone 5964 2088 for more information.
Fashion fun from froaways By Kath Gannaway Always wanted to be a fashion designer? Well now's the time to dream big, start planning and get your entry in by 17 March for the Ecotopia Recycled Fashion Parade. The Parade is arguably the most popular part of the Ecotopia Earth Festival which will be held on Sunday, 25 March, at the Yarra Junction Parklands. There is plenty of opportunity to experiment with your creativity, no matter what your age, with three categories - Children (15 years and under) where the invitation to children and young people is to go crazy with creativity and enter as a solo act, with friends in a team, or as a classroom project. Trash Fash is all about extreme recycling, so get carried away with your trash and turn your unwanted 'stuff' into something spectacular. Chic Boutique is just that 'chic'. Parade your own stylish creation made from materials
upcycled from a previous life, or find a model to parade your masterpiece. The usual high standard, discerning judges have been booked, skilled not only in fashion and fun, but with an abundance of collective experience in good taste, design and irony. And, as always, the fabulously sophisticated fashionista, Hans (aka Simon Oats) will be MC for the event. There are great prizes to be won, but more importantly, the parade is a fun and fashionable way to spread the message about ethical clothes wearing - Recycle, Redress and Reclaim! For more information, visit http://www. ecoss.org.au/events/ecotopia-earth-festival2018-celebrating-cultural-diversity .

Murder on the Orient Express Sat 24-Feb 2:00 PM
Black Panther Starring Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright and Michael B Jordan Rated M A staggering work of Afro-futurism - the blending of African art and culture with science fiction aesthetics - Black Panther is a riveting, superbly-crafted adventure. In the hyper-advanced yet isolationist African nation of Wakanda, the newly-crowned King T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) must face multiple challenges to his leadership, both from outside the country and from his trusted associates. Black Panther has, at its heart, a simple story of T'challa trying to reclaim his throne from a usurper, but the enthralling plot explores themes of loyalty, hubris and responsibility, and features an ensemble cast suffused with nuance. Portraying an engagingly flawed hero, Bose-
man delivers effortless grace and a reckless pride, as T'challa is fixated on proving himself as a strong king. Letitia Wright is delightfully sassy as T'challa's genius sister Shuri, and Danai Gurira provides both stern focus and gruff levity as Okoye, a warrior woman fiercely loyal to the Wakandan throne - whoever has it. T'challa's grief and resolve, as he struggles under corruption and damning secrets in the land he loves, are palpable. Despite his cruel instincts, the villain, Eric 'Kilmonger' Stephens (Michael B Jordan) is still sympathetic due to his tragic past and his intent to alleviate the disenfranchisement so many black people still experience - and which Wakanda turned a blind eye to. Poignant, visually majestic and full of great characters, Black Panther is the best superhero film since Wonder Woman. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Finals combatantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; push By Chris Anderson Under clear blue skies, the Round 14 fixtures completed around the Yarra Valley. With finals a mere three weeks away, the make up of the combatants is all but locked away, while the jousting for home ground advantage for semi-finals is well under way. The experiment of cross-over games between the top division, DJ Strachan Shield, and the second tier, RA Finger Trophy, is becoming a distant memory as the teams focus is turned to a series of games within their respective divisions in the lead up to finals. In Strachan Shield, the Round 14 fixtures generally concluded in a predictable manner. Warburton-Millgrove look strong in their title defence as they blew past a mediocre Healesville score. Healesville struggled to make an impact on the scoreboard with the bat last week; and despite some fight, found themselves light on with a score of 10/117. Tom Daley removed the dangerous David Lever early, but a cracking innings from Sean Humphrey (67) set a tone for the remainder of the innings. An enterprising half century partnership with Liam Barnard was enough to quickly move the game in the Burras' favour; and despite a brief wobble through the middle order with three quick wickets, the damage had been done. Experienced duo Daniel Lever and Tim McKail ensured the reigning champs would secure victory by a comfortable six wickets, with nearly half their allotted overs in the bank. In a similar contest, a finals-bound Yarra Junction made short work of a dismal Seville outfit which are desperately seeking the end of the season. Seville were unable to match the consistency and discipline of the Yarra Junction bowling outfit last week, and were swiftly put away for a paltry total of 91. The Eagles made short work of the chase as Andy Wear led his team with a comfortable victory with an excellent innings of 83. Wear has been consistently building his form with the bat across the season and looks a threat to finals opponents, an X-factor to Yarra Junction's premiership chances. Matt Robinson (32) offered great support in the chase as the Eagles called it a day on 4/143 as Wear's run at a century came to an end. Young star Toby Spargo (2/8) ensured the Blues would take something out of the day, but his team never looked likely in this one sided affair. The disappointment of the round came when the best contest of the round, between Yarra Glen and Mount Evelyn, limped to a tame draw after the game lost just over an hour's play on day one. Mount Evelyn continued from an overnight score of 4/175 in search of quick runs to make an early declaration. The Mounters lost two wickets in the dash, but the hero of the innings was opener Daniel Giblin, who, after several missed opportunities this season, finally closed off a century in a faultless display. Chad Witherdin (26*) offered great support in lifting the total to 6/266 when a declaration was made. The declaration left Yarra Glen with a chase of 267 off 62 overs, if they were to taste victory. John O'Donnell left no one questioning whether the Riverpigs would look to chase the target as he made a blistering start to the innings. He ensured his team were on task with the necessary run rate as a series of strong cover drives and attacking pull shots had the Mount-
Daniel Giblin of Mount Evelyn notched up a well-made century. ers bowlers on the back foot from the beginning. With the score sitting at 1/80 at the lunch interval, the Riverpigs looked threatening. An excellent bowling partnership between Kane Jones (3/34) and Andrew Giblin not only reigned in the run rate, but secured the key wickets of O'Donnell, Brendan Ricci and Andy Cowan. The spell opened the door for the Mounters to attack a vulnerable Yarra Glen lower order, but they were up to the task. With victory looking less likely, Ed Saunders (61*) and Dale Baertschiger looked to steadily hold things together over the concluding stages to ensure their team would claim their share of the points. Saunders was particularly enterprising with strong strokeplay; and if the game had gone the distance, it would've been interesting to see if he could've led the rest of the batsman to a Yarra Glen victory. Had the umpires decided to return to the field five minutes earlier, this contest was destined to be a thrilling, high scoring contest between two finals bound teams, but instead fizzed out to a disappointing draw. Round 15 will hopefully erase some of this disappointment as it offers a trio of matches that are destined to be intriguing clashes. Mount Evelyn have sat atop the Strachan Shield ladder virtually all season, but the team to chase has still remained Warburton-Millgrove who have gradually closed the gap on the Mounters. Yarra Junction and Yarra Glen have the chance to prove which is the next cab off the rank as premiership contenders as they clash in an important fixture for form and confidence leading into finals. The final game sees Seville take on Healesville in a virtual last chance saloon for some success for two flagging teams looking for the finish line. In Finger Trophy action, Coldstream have locked away the status of 'team to beat' as they completed an impressive victory over Wandin. For the second round running, the Crocs produced a score in excess of 250 against a finals bound team, their closest challengers. This time it was a score of 7/251 against the Bulldogs. The chase was always going to be a challenging one, and that it proved as the Bulldogs failed to seriously challenge at any stage of their innings. Coldstream speedster Daniel Whelan (4/20) had Wandin on the back foot from the start, and Omar Yasin (2/21) was a valuable ally in the wicket taking department. Lachlan Sinnott (31) and Ron Jarratt (24) offered some resistance, but not nearly enough to seriously challenge the total. Hoddles Creek were the big winners of the weekend keeping their slim chances of finals
alive with an impressive victory against the second placed Woori Yallock. The Wombats cobbled together a useful 10/223 on day one, but this contest was far from over as Woori Yallock possess a top order capable of chasing a sizeable total. Their top order didn't fail with Cal Ferguson (59), Dean Worlley (41) and Mick Dwyer (40) all making significant contributions, but the story of the tale was the fact that neither of these players could kick on to a match-winning score exposing a thin tail. Worlley tried his best to keep things on track, but regular wickets always kept the target at arm's reach. An even display from the Hoddles Creek bowlers, led by Will Trotter (3/32) and Liam Rowe (2/32) kept their team in the contest, and eventually they took the honours in this arm wrestle, bowling the Tigers out for 196 clinching a moral boosting 27 run victory. The final game of the round saw Gruyere outplay Launching Place, all but securing their position in finals cricket, and a timely warning to the other finals aspirants that the defending champions aren't a spent force. Sitting at 4/56, chasing 77, club stalwarts Adrian Vassallo (82*) and Matt Tilney (82) ensured there would be no more wobbles in this chase, they then proceeded to put their team in a position to chase an outright victory. Significant half centuries to the pair pushed the team total out to 5/183 when a declaration was made. With pride on the line, Launching Place battled bravely to avoid the embarrassment of losing outright. Stuart Parker (31) did what he knows best digging in his heals, while Max Bradley (24*) continues to show maturity beyond his years as he ensured this team would safely avoid outright defeat when it started to look more likely as they day wore on. Eventually they held it together to finish on 7/107 avoiding disaster by three wickets. Despite not closing the deal, Gruyere's efforts with both bat and ball in this contest have them well set for a late season dash for back to back success after being in a slumber for most of the season.

Warburton golf results in a long-awaited win for scribe Wednesday 14 February: Stableford: Thank you to all the members who played on this day. Clearly, they had decided that 'yours truly' (Ron Hottes) deserved to have a win after being absent from the winner's stall for - too long! Even then, my 38 points, although satisfactory, was 'not' anywhere near as impressive as other recent winning scores. Still, a win's a win! The unfortunate (should have won, I'm told) mailcommunity.com.au
r/up on a c/back was Steuart Hawke, just one point behind on 37! Balls got down to 33 this week. The NTP winners were Mario DeVincentis (3rd), Shaun Nicholl (9th) and to Andy McMath (17th). Twilight: With only a few weeks left to the big shoot-out, competition was intense. Luke Patrick came out on top, with 21 impressive points. Luke only won on a c/back though, as Paul 'Mr Wandin' Long also matched that. Balls extended to 18. NTPs were won by Lance
Atwell (10th), 'Big-Daddy' Patrick (12th) and by Junior Patrick (Luke), on the 15th. Saturday 17 February: Stableford: Shane Campbell won A Grade with 41 points; the best individual score on the day. B Grade went to Barry Maltman, in a welcome return to form, with 39 points. P.K. was the unlucky golfer on the day, being r/up with a super-impressive 40 points (at least, he snared 3 balls!). The ball rundown went to 34. The N.T.P winners were 'Kenno' (3rd), big-hitting Meredith Nursey
(5th), Junior Kempton (9th), 'Mr Consistent' Leckenby (12th) 7 to Hatty on the ever-challenging 15th. And - there were 'no' eagles on the day! * The Match Committee would like to thank 'all' playing members over the past two weeks for their patience and understanding as the Hydro-Electric project impacts on the course. Rest assured, players, this will be over and done within the next week or two. Thank you again! Tuesday, 20 February, 2018

Healesville bowls results
Champs get the medals
Healesville No 1 side played 6th placed Ringwood 3 at home on their synthetic green, trying to consolidate a top 2 position on the ladder. At the interval, Healesville held a slender lead 44/33 only to have Ringwood draw level at 59/59. Healesville then finished strongly to have a comfortable win 88/63 and now sit in second place with two games to go. Healesville No.2 side, which remains well clear on top of the ladder, travelled to play Croydon No.5 at Croydon. They, again, had another good win 89/61 to consolidate top spot. The results for Saturday's Pennant played on 17 February.
By Jamie Strudley Tom Kelly Reserve in Doncaster East was the venue for the latest championship medal collection for Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes. The Easter Region Track & Field Championships provide athletes for all eastern region clubs to compete with other. An event where friendships and rivalries are created and PBs are more common than officials. Twenty eight Yarra Ranges Athletes competed over the two days in 76 separate events. Almost every event returned a PB, which is a fantastic result for a championship. Yarra Ranges athletes also achieved an amazing 17 medals on Day 1 and 11 on Day 2 including gold medals to Zoe Clarke, Georgia Laven, Maddie Laven, Tayleb Willis, Tiara Willis and Brayden Woolridge. None more special than the gold medals won by Brayden Woolridge and Georgia Laven. Brayden (shot put and discus) and Georgia (800m) have won their respective events in every year since they were in Under 9s. Brayden and Georgia are effectively unbeaten at region level for their entire Little Athletics career, an outstanding achievement. Next week the Under 14s to Under 20s athletes compete at the Victorian Junior Championships. The little athletics round will also be on Saturday with program three from 9am.

MOTORING
Calais added to history The National Museum of Australia has acquired one of the last vehicles to roll off the Holden production line before the Elizabeth factory closed on 20 October last year, marking the end of Australian-made car manufacturing. The National Museum is committed to collecting objects for the nation, which represent key elements for Australian society and culture. Holden unambiguously falls into this category as an iconic brand, which, for decades, has symbolised freedom and independence for millions of Australians. The Holden Calais, which on Wednesday 24 January joined the museum’s collection, is a four-door sedan manufactured at the General Motors Holden factory in Elizabeth, South Australia, on 13 October, 2017. The vehicle joins the museum’s historic Holden collection, which includes the 1946 Holden Prototype Car No.1, built by American and Australian engineers in Detroit, which became the definitive model for millions of Holden car. Essington Lewis’s 1948 48-215 model Holden (also known as the FX) is believed to be the first Holden sold commercially. It was delivered to industrialist Lewis (18811961) on the eve of 24 February, 1949, a day before the first Holdens were released for sale to the general public. National Museum director, Dr Mathew Trinca, said although it was sad to see the end of local car production, the museum was proud to include the vehicle as part of the story of car manufacturing in Australia. “This modern vehicle, which has an Australian-made 3.6l V6 engine and the latest technology, is the perfect bookend to the Museum’s
New Kia Stinger is a large sporting hatch with plenty of style. Holden collection, which spans over 70 years,” he said. “Built for Australian conditions, the robust and economical Holden family sedan captured the public imagination when they first rolled of the assembly line in 1948. Many saw this as evidence of national maturity, proof that Australia had escaped its pastoral beginnings and embraced the modern industrial age,” Dr Trinca said. By 1958, Holden sales accounted for over 40
per cent of total car sales in this country and one million had been sold by 1960. Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Mark Bernhard, said the Calais donated o the museum “celebrates the Holden manufacturing journey and the special place Commodore holds in the heart of many Australians”. “The pride, passion and quality of workmanship delivered by our people at Elizabeth has meant our last Australian-build cars, including this Calais, with its engine proudly
made by Holden at Fisherman’s Bend, and with hundreds of other component drawn from Australian automotive supplies, are the best and most technologically advanced vehicles ever made by Holden in Australia,” Mr Bernhard said. “There is no finer automobile to sit alongside the 1948 Holden prototype in the museum’s collection. We’re proud to make this donation to celebrate our manufacturing heritage.”
