Each time he goes out to break previous speed records, there is always the uncertainty of how the vehicle will responds to the increase in speed.

record was 153mph and that was a 454 Monaro so we beat it with a panel van," he said. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Mr Lacey said he'll keep pushing 'the flying brick' to see what it can really do. "Everyone thinks it's a brick, which it is to a point but it's not as bad a brick as it looks," he said. "I'm certainly not gonna quit now, we'll see how fast we can get a panel van to really go."

"In a panel van, it feels fast and it is fast but it's stable ... .at 170 mile per hour it just sits there," he said. Much of the work on the car has been of Mr Lacey's own design, and there's isn't much of the original XF left, though he concedes it's taken a bit of doing and a few pay cheques. "We've done a lot to it; ported the engine, bigger cams, head work, put the gun scoop on ... it's taken eight years of work and just one or

Alan Lacey and Australia’s fastest salt racing panel van.
12377078-CG04-18
The Ford Motor Company has a long and distinguished history of breaking records. The words Mustang, GT40 and Shelby immediately bring to the mind images of sleek, V8 powered speed machines born to do one thing - win. The Ford XF panel van is known more for its practicality than such excitement. Though, Alan Lacey's 1989 XF Panel Van is anything but that. With a 408 cubic inch Ford Cleveland V8 running on vapour injected LPG and producing around 650 plus horse power, Mr Lacey's panel van holds the title of Australia's fastest salt racing panel van. On 15 March, at the Dry Lake Racers Australia Land Speed Records, held at Lake Gairdner, South Australia, Mr Lacey and his self-built panel van nicknamed 'the flying brick' reached a speed of 283.5km/h. Getting to that speed he said has been an eight-year journey. "I started the salt lake racing in 2010 ... we went over first in 2009 to have a look after we watched the movie the world's fastest Indian," Mr Lacey said. Unlike his hero Burt Munroe, Mr Lacey chose four wheels over two and what better car to get him that record than his trusty XF. "Well I had the XF panel van and it was a work truck ... it was just sitting in the factory and I thought let's see what we can do with it. "We took it over the first year in 2010 and did 128mph (205km/h) and thought that was alright; we'll see if we can do faster." From there began an annual cycle where each year he would make his pilgrimage to Lake Gairdner constantly chasing faster and faster speeds. In 2018, Mr Lacey broke his own personal record and was only 17kms off 300km/h. "Last year we did 152mph, but that's the only one we did ... we went all the way for one run and broke it - blew a hole in the piston." "This year we ran 176.177mph which is 283km/h so 17km/h off 300, and that's the next goal then the next goal after that is 200 mile an hour ... but that's going to take a lot of horsepower." So what does 283kph feel like in a panel van? Well Mr Lacey succinctly told the Mail 'fast'.

Pilot lucky in crash A pilot has made a narrow escape after his light plane over-shot the runway at Lilydale Airport in Yering on Saturday 24 March. The privately owned Cessna aircraft landed long on the runway before crashing into an embankment, with the pilot, 63, emerging uninjured from the crash. The plane partially blocked MacIntyre Lane at Yering, with the road closed for some time while a crane was used to transport the aircraft to a nearby hangar. Yarra Glen and Coldstream CFA brigades were among the first on the scene, with fuel leaking from the right-hand wing of the plane. Police and paramedics also attended. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau will investigate the accident.

A collaboration between EPIC Project, Foothills Community Care Community Casseroles program and local Belgrave Heights cafe Wild Wood Kitchen will see fresh produce brought from the paddock to the plate for those in need. The trio of groups have teamed up to help provide fresh produce to all who need it in the Dandenong Ranges. A mix of vegetables are plucked straight from EPIC's garden, situated at the rear of the George Tindale Memorial Garden in Sherbrooke. The produce is then brought to Chris Wilding, owner at Wild Woods Kitchen who then creates a delicious meal that is donated to the Community Casserole program. Cheryle Foster, a Volunteer at EPIC Project said the collaboration was about providing a fair share of food for all, especially for those who need it. "The ethics of permaculture on which we are based, is care of the earth, care of the peo-
ple and a fair share for all," Ms Foster said. "This is our opportunity to both care for people but also fair share, so we're sharing the goods that are coming out of the garden and because it's a voluntary based garden, it's not for any one individual ... it's a garden where the produce goes to the community particularly those in need." "These are opportunities where we can get that level of fresh food out to people in the community who might not necessarily have the opportunity of getting it anywhere else." EPIC is a voluntary organisation with all food being shared within the community to those in need. The collaboration is in its infancy though EPIC has already delivered two loads of vegetables. The first delivery was a large bundle of Zucchinis, which Chris said were perfect for a Persian zucchini soup. "We had a big amount of zucchinis which we made a Persian zucchini soup with and we portioned that out to Community Casseroles,"
Mr Wilding said. "That works really well for them because they know its local product and we can keep it vegan and make sure it gets past all those major food intolerances." Community Casseroles run regular community cook ups in the Dandenong Ranges and cook and freeze meals to share with those in our community who have had sudden changes in their lives and could do with a little kindness in the form of a home cooked meal. A home cooked meal is exactly what those individuals are getting, with a nutritious, organic, home cooked meal provided by EPIC and Mr Wilding. Stephen Barrington CEO of the Foothills Community Care group who run the Community Casseroles program said that the need for fresh produce was always increasing. "For us it is about providing nutritious meals for people ... a lot of people particularly those who are isolated and disconnected don't have access to fresh food and vegetables, so having this is great."

Fire neglect
‘Young-looking’ booze ban plan Yarra Ranges will roll out an alcohol supply monitoring program to help curb underage drinking and encourage better health and wellbeing for young people. The Communities that Care program involves getting young people aged 18-22 who look underage attempting to purchase alcohol from bottleshops without a valid ID. Program coordinator at EACH, Deborah Cocks, said research showed that in a sample of bottle shops in the Yarra Ranges, only 40 per cent asked young people for ID. "We want managers of alcohol outlets to be very clear in their feedback to staff," Ms Cocks said. "We encourage licensees and managers to discuss with their staff the fact that, when you sell alcohol to teenagers, you're failing in your job. "As part of this program, letters go to all licensees and managers, either congratulating them for not selling alcohol to a young person without ID, or reminding them of the law and best practice in the service of alcohol." The program has been implemented in Knox through Communities that Care Knox, auspiced by EACH, and will be rolled out to the
Yarra Ranges through 2018. Research shows that young people are more likely to develop social, cognitive and emotional issues if they use alcohol before turning 18. The younger this drinking starts, the more likely they are to have impaired brain development and alcohol problems later in life. Yarra Ranges Council Mayor, Cr Len Cox, said it was important that families and friends lend a hand to discourage underage drinking. "In our Health and Wellbeing Strategy 201721, one of our goals is ensuring that people who do drink alcohol do so in moderation and safety," Cr Cox said. "The research clearly shows that underage drinking simply isn't safe and can lead to negative consequences down the track. "Drinking alcohol is ingrained in Australian culture, events and advertising, but it's important that we build a healthy attitude towards drinking. The best way to do that is by talking to your friends and family about the harm that alcohol can have." Australian Government research from 2014 showed that about 68 per cent of teenagers between the ages of 12-17 reported drinking alcohol. When asked how they sourced the alco-
Community Safety Coordinator at Mt Evelyn Fire Brigade, Luke Roy
hol, 80 per cent reported getting it from three sources - their parents or home, friends and acquaintances or by purchasing it themselves. "To reinforce the messages of program, we encourage parents to discuss alcohol use with their children and really support them by setting clear rules and guidelines about not drinking alcohol until they are 18 years old," Ms Cocks said. "Parents sometimes fear that if they don't allow drinking at home, their children may then use alcohol behind their backs, but research shows that families with rules about not using alcohol results in lower rates of underage drinking. "In contrast, in families where parents allow moderate drinking, children are more likely to rebel and partake in more heavy and harmful alcohol use. "We need parents to support children at home and in our community by uniting on this issue." Read more about the Communities that Care program at https://goo.gl/F2axWc or call EACH on 1300 00 3224.
Excitement as Fritsch, Stephenson debut By Peter Douglas The Coldstream and Ferntree Gully football clubs were abuzz with excitement over the weekend of 24-25 March as two local products made their AFL debuts. After both enjoying strong preseasons, Melbourne forward Bayley Fritsch (Coldstream) and Magpie Jaidyn Stephenson (Ferntree Gully) both acquitted themselves well in their first outings for their respective clubs, although both are yet to taste their first victory. Fritsch's path to the AFL was far from a traditional one, after being drafted as a matureage recruit in 2017 after impressing with the Casey VFL side. He fought back from injury worries to compile a stunning season, where he amassed 42 goals. The exciting forward's goal sense was on show in his debut, where he kicked one goal and looked lively in his match. Unfortunately, the Demons endured an agonising three-point defeat to the star-studded Geelong side. Stephenson proved to be one of very few shining lights on an otherwise tough night for Collingwood, where they lost by 34 points to an impressive Hawthorn. Stephenson showed his renowned pace and skill, as well as plenty of poise for a debutant.
The declared Fire Danger Period is nothing new in the state of Victoria, however many residents throughout the Dandenong Ranges and parts of the Yarra Valley either ignore, neglect or are unaware of their responsibilities about burning off and fire safety. Since the declaration of the Fire Danger Period in this district, Police across the Yarra Ranges have attended more than 60 fires. The majority are residents burning off in the yard. 50 of these fires will be prosecuted through the courts for open air burning during the fire danger period. Leading Senior Constable Peter Hamilton of the Fire Patrol Unit, states "Yarra Ranges Police monitor and respond to most fires during the restrictions, and the current penalties include fines up to $19028.40, up to 12 months jail time, or both." Mt Evelyn Fire Brigade Captain Rick Ventrella commented that too many people underestimate the potential that fires have this time of year, and that the risk extends beyond summer. "We've had hardly any rain since January. Residents of Yarra Ranges need to appreciate where they live and do the right thing. "The other disappointment about people burning off anytime during the year, is the lack of available water to extinguish a fire if needed ... no hoses connected or they don't reach the location of the fire, or not in attendance and wind often takes it away and causes problems", he said. Fire restrictions in Central region were formally declared on 18th December and continue to run through until May 1, 2018 unless varied by a subsequent declaration. The dates vary each year according to the vegetation condition and predicted risks. People wishing to understand more about what types of fires and activities are permitted during the fire danger period should get the latest information from CFA's website - www.cfa.vic.gov.au/ warnings-restrictions/can/
Anzac appeal
Joel Garner has been impressing Port Adelaide hierarchy with his leadership. 126811 The young wingman racked up 16 disposals and won plenty of praise for his first-up performance. Meanwhile, fellow Yarra Ranges' 2017 draftees - Same Hayes (Ferntree Gully) and Joel

Caught up in report By Peter Douglas Dandenong Ranges' representatives and MPs Shaun Leane and James Merlino have been embroiled in an ombudsman's report into claims of misuse of taxpayer funds. Ombudsman Deborah Glass on Wednesday 21 March released the lengthy investigation into claims electorate officers for Labor MPs, who the Parliament employ, were diverted to campaign for the Labor Party before the 2014 state election. In total, the report stated almost $388,000 in taxpayer funds had been used while deploying full-time field organisers in the lead-up to the election. Monbulk MP James Merlino, and Member for Eastern Metropolitan Region Shaun Leane, both came under heavy fire from local Liberal Party members. Gembrook MP Brad Battin and Member for Eastern Victoria Region, Edward O'Donohue, were among those to speak out after the report's release. Mr Battin likened the report's outcome to theft. "If any person in Victoria got caught stealing money from their employer, they would be sacked. It's a shame that Daniel Andrews does not hold his government to the same standard," Mr Battin said. Mr O'Donohue expressed the same sentiment. "If Victorian workers are found to have rorted from their employers, they would be forced to pay back the money and resign," he said. "Why should it be any different for James Merlino?" Opposition attorney-general, John Pesutto, said James Merlino must apologise for the $21,148 his office used to fund the 2014 election campaign. In response, Mr Merlino told the Mail : The Victorian Ombudsman has tabled her report into matters concerning the 2014 election campaign, he said.
Deputy Premier James Merlino with Shaun Leane. 179135 In her observations, the Ombudsman notes that the Members of Parliament involved in the staff pooling arrangements acted in good faith and derived little or no personal benefit from the use of parliamentary funds in this way. She makes no recommendations that action be taken against anyone involved in these arrangements. Mr Merlino said the Government accepts the Ombudsman s view that there are competing interpretations of the relationship between Section 30 of the Parliamentary Administration Act 2005 and the Members Guide, and that any confusion should be resolved swiftly. In the interests of public confidence, the Premier requested that the State Secretary of the Victorian Branch of the Australian Labor Party
reimburse, in full, funds expended through the staff pooling arrangements, he said. The Ombudsman recommends that the Parliament consider giving greater clarity to the role of electorate office staff and improve transparency around the expenditure of MP allowances. The Government is already taking a number of steps to make the Parliamentary allowance system for MPs more transparent and accountable something the previous Liberal Government refused to do. We support all of the Ombudsman s recommendations and will ensure the Parliament is provided with all the support required to implement them.
Drain of pain By Peter Douglas Cardinia Shire Council has announced the enactment of a temporary traffic management plan at Emerald Lake Park. Recently, council has sought to address issues with the functioning of the overflow drain at the popular destination, which it's feared could be impacting the main access road to the Puffing Billy Station car park. To safeguard the condition of the road, and to ensure safety of the road-users and visitors to the area, council said they have taken immediate action. They are planning on liaising with stakeholders and erecting appropriate signage on the site. In addition, the water level of Emerald Lake Park will be lowered over the weekend to reduce risk to the infrastructure, and we are currently working closely with stakeholders to determine suitable workarounds for car parking and facility access in the immediate term. Although access to the lower car park will be unaffected, the access road to the station car park has been temporarily closed to traffic, with detours in place. Puffing Billy will be operating as normal; however, parking capacity will be reduced due to the temporary closure of the station car park. Council will be obtaining specialist assistance to investigate the extent of the issue and will continue to communicate with the local community and stakeholders as the issue progresses.

A group of La Trobe residents had a sit in outside Jason Wood's Berwick office on Thursday (March 8) to express their concerns about the proposed Adani coal mine. They think there are many reasons why this mine should not proceed. Firstly, being the biggest coal mine in the Southern hemisphere it will make global warming worse. It will also exacerbate the global warming related problems afflicting the Great Barrier Reef and put at risk many tourism jobs in coastal North Queensland. The farmland surrounding the mine will also be affected due to the mines unlimited access to ground water. The huge mine will also irreparably damage the land of the traditional owners. All up, the risks far outweigh any benefits including the 1500 promised jobs. If the public money to be invested on rail access to the mine were instead invested in renewable energy that would create as many if not more jobs. Our message for Jason Wood and the government is don't gamble with our future by doing things which we know will definitely make global warming worse. Secondly, this mine should not be funded in any way including by the governments Export Finance & Insurance Corporation or EFIC. Peter Cook, Clematis

FOCUS ON … PAVE FESTIVAL 2018
It’s the fest with the best This year's theme for Emerald's Performing and Visual Arts Festival (PAVE) is inspired by the ABC series War on Waste. Participating artists and performers from all arts genres have been encouraged to consider how the phrase 'rejuvenate, rediscover and rethink' might relate to their respective artistic endeavours. Artists participating in PAVE 2018 have been inspired to create innovative clothing, music and utility objects by rejuvenating and re-purposing ideas and material. Families can also create a scarecrow from recycled materials at the library, enjoy an up-cycled fashion expo, or browse craft-stall wares on Funfest day. The theme also extends into the perennial PAVE dance workshops/performance pieces, and more generally relates to the history and lives of icons of stage, screen and stereo. The PAVE 2018 cover artwork was commissioned to reflect the festival's theme. Local artist Martha Silver Breninger of Healing Spirit Creations is recognised for her distinctive two dimensional-works, as well as her enchanting felted creations, and has done an exceptional job creating the artwork. To wrap up FunFest day on Sunday 8 April, a short opening ceremony at Emerald Community House Hall will take place from 6pm. Complimentary wine and cheese will be available to enjoy as well as entertaining snippets from contributing PAVE artists. So take time-out to leaf through the comprehensive program and discover what PAVE has on offer over eight exciting days around Emerald. PAVE Festival runs from 8 to 15 April. To find out more, visit www.pave.org.au.

“The first time we walked into Olinda Cellars, we weren’t expecting very much. But daaaaamn were we proven wrong. The range in here is as good or better than the best boutique cellars in the CBD. You could spend a happy 30 minutes just working your way through the craft tinnies (some of which we’d never even SEEN before). They also have a fantastic selection of local and imported whisky, gin, rum, vodka and wine (label and cleanskin). Olinda Cellars also broker their own collection of rare and vintage wine - so if you’re in the market for something special, get chatting to the staff behind the counter.”

The architectural success of this residence is also due to its stunning landscaped gardens with dry creek beds, two ponds, and native plantings set to a backdrop of woodland that meets Rich Creek. Equally impressive is the six-car garage, canning studio with self-contained bath, and an enormous under-house cellar. Simply divine inside and out, inspection will impress. â—?

Treasure to eggs-cite By Peter Douglas Emerald Lake Park will again hold its annual Easter treasure hunt on Sunday 1 April, with many eager children expected to take up the challenge. The park's free treasure hunt is held between 11am and 3pm, with participants encouraged to pick up an activity sheet, which is available on the day from the cafe, the model railway, the Lakeside Station or the Environment Centre. The activity sheet will set a series of challenges, which will invite the 'explorers' to discover some of the special attractions and activities of the park. Children of all ages, big and small, can hop to it and hung for eggs; while parents might even like to pack a little picnic and enjoy a family day out. Who knows, you may even catch a special glimpse of a local icon, Puffing Billy. The long weekend may also be a great time to discover, or re-discover, all the great items and fun activities available to the willing. Among these include paddle boat rides, model railway display, caf¨¦, free barbecue facilities, walking tracks and a seasonal wading pool. Meanwhile, the Environment Centre offers a live aquatic display, information of flora and fauna, and information on the park. For more details, contact 1300 787 624 or email mail@cardinia.vic.gov.au.

Dance your way out of this The Dancer Starring Soko, Lily-Rose Depp and Mélanie Thierry Rated M
Hunting for Easter eggs can be a great way to enjoy family time. 179206
Make your Easter a great one. 179206
The Dancer is a masterful portrait of artistic passion and obsession stuck inside a loose, scattershot plot, and was screened by the Yarra Ranges Film Society at the Healesville Memorial Hall on March 20. French actor and singer Soko has a magnetic screen presence as groundbreaking American dancer Loie Fuller, and it's deeply engrossing to watch this dedicated woman realise her performing dreams through maverick creativity and sheer force of will. Director St¨¦phanie Di Giusto directs Loie's majestic, unearthly dances almost like action sequences, with dynamic movements, dramatic music and intense, raw emotion. Unfortunately, the compelling visuals and powerful central performance are offset by a
scattershot narrative and some questionable stylistic choices. While The Dancer generates plenty of obstacles for Loie to overcome, including cynical financial backers, intense jealousy and the severe strain her dancing inflicts upon her body, the film conveys a very vague sense of time. It's impossible to tell whether the film's events took place across months or years, especially with the abrupt editing, and this saps Loie's exploits of tension. Loie's turbulent relationship with younger dancer Isadora Duncan (Lily-Rose Depp) does further the film's theme of control, but otherwise this sub-plot doesn't go anywhere. The Dancer has outstanding character insight and mesmerising visuals within a clunky, poorly-paced narrative The Yarra Ranges Film Society screens an acclaimed arthouse or foreign film every month at the Warburton and Healesville cinemas. -Seth Lukas Hynes

It’s Mounters’ shield By Chris Anderson Although rain nearly made a mockery of the Yarra Valley Cricket Association, skies opened enough on Saturday to ensure there was enough play to create some exciting cricket on Sunday 25 March. When the dust settled on a hectic weekend of cricket, it was Mount Evelyn and Woori Yallock which emerged as the toast of the town as they respectively lifted the DJ Strachan Shield and RA Finger Trophy. In the competition's top grade, DJ Strachan Shield, the grand final saw a match-up between the competition's best two teams. Split by only run rate at the end of the home and away season, Warburton-Millgrove and Mount Evelyn seemed destined to reach the final game, a rematch of last season's finale. After biding their time for much of Saturday afternoon, the weather broke, conditions improved, and a start was reached at 4.30pm, two hours to get a healthy amount of cricket played. The toss was almost irrelevant as the Burras, being the highest placed team, were keen for a bat to control the tempo of the game, while Mount Evelyn were forced to make the running, and bowling their opponents became imperative for a chance at forcing a victory. Veteran Chris Anderson found some early fortune with the wicket of David Lever caught at fine leg after a powerful pull shot. Sean Humphrey and Liam Barnard were the mainstays, and platform providers, the last time these two teams met, and it was looking as though both were setting themselves for a similar effort.

Mount Evelyn turned the tables in season 2017-18, defeating Warburton-Millgrove and taking the shield. 179199 Picture: GREG CARRICK Mounters. A change of bowlers did the trick for Mount Evelyn as their captain, Kane Jones, was able to induce an edge from Barnard to snuff out the partnership at 2/41. Ben Lever, the hero of the Burras' semi-final win, joined Humphrey at the wicket, and soon re-engaged in the engrossing battle between bat and ball. Both continued to bat patiently, capitalising on the rare bad ball provided. Inch by inch they pushed the score onwards, while taking away valuable time from their opponents. With the day seemingly progressing towards safe ground for the Burras, Jones played his trump card, proven wicket taker, Chad Witherdin. In his first over, Witherdin was able to produce a brace of wickets that removed the stubborn Humphrey for 35, followed by the captain Daniel Lever. From 2/73, the score soon became 5/78 as Jones was also able to remove Noah Andueza before the day was out. With conditions more favourable on Sunday, the 35 overs remaining, a lot rested on
how the remaining Burras' bats would approach the remainder of the innings. A lot rested on the experience and strokeplay of the likes of Ben Lever, Tim McKail, Carl Morgan and Adam Humphrey. Witherdin removed Lever with a direct hit from backward square leg and things looked up for the Mounters. Witherdin and Kane Jones continued from where they left off on the Saturday, and, despite having to bowl nearly 20 overs, they were able to remove the final four batsman with some excellent bowling. Witherdin finished with 4/11, while Jones captured 4/35 as they restricted WarburtonMillgrove to 103. By taking time and overs out of the equation, it was just about passing the score for the Mounters. The Giblin father-and-son duo, Daniel and Andrew, gave the chase a great footing as they navigated their team to tea. Regular wickets seemed to plague the chase, with spinners Daniel Lever (3/36) and Adam Humphrey (2/13) seemingly keeping their team in it; however, 103 wasn't enough, and the Mounters, led by Kane Jones (41 not out) got the job done with four wickets in hand.

Rangers grab first-up win A bumper crowd turned out to the Monbulk Regional Soccer Facility to see the season opener between Monbulk Rangers and Skye United, with both teams vying for promotion in the 2018 Men's State League 3 South East. Frantic action in the first half saw Monbulk scoreless at half-time, but two second-half goals - from Arash Sadeghi and Geordie Scott saw the home side run away with a 2-1 victory. The team continued their form from the end of 2017, extending their unbeaten run to nine in a row, and will travel to play Brighton away in their next fixture. The Monbulk Reserves were not so lucky, losing 2-0 to Skye. The club's newest Football Federation Victoria (FFV) team, the U12 Raptors, enthusiastically escorted the seniors onto the pitch. Monbulk Rangers is a rarity in having both senior and junior teams in its 600-strong player membership. Junior coordinator Ewa Wallis says the aim is to have a clear pathway from junior to senior ranks to give players continuity and strengthen the club. "If young players can aspire to come up through the ranks and play in the Monbulk Rangers' senior men's and women's teams, in games like we saw tonight, the future of the club will be assured," she said. "In turn, we encourage the seniors to attend training sessions to assist with skills and tips for the juniors." Monbulk Rangers juniors have also been invited to halftime action at AAMI Stadium between A-League games, through the club's affiliation with both Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City.

Knights celebrate again By Steve Brown Good players perform in big games. And this season's Reeves Shield final was no exception as Knoxfield batsmen Tom Boxell and Jack Taylor struck centuries to close out The Basin, giving the Knights their third premiership in a row. The Basin bowlers had no answer to Boxell (100) or Taylor (127), as the pair added 148 for the fifth wicket and ultimately an unbeatable total of 8/356 at the close of day one. Taylor showed why he was selected in the Victorian Country team as his innings consisted of only 84 balls with 11 boundaries and 9 sixes. The Basin's run chase at one point was on track at 3/150. However, once leading run-maker Scott Vozzo departed for 82, the Bears' dream of their first premiership was over, dismissed for 267 in the 73rd over. Josh Lindner took three wickets, following up on his six-wicket haul in the preliminary final while Taylor was awarded the Stephen Lee Medal for best afield. In one of the great grand finals, Footballers claimed the Decoite Shield after holding out a gallant Lysterfield in dramatic scenes on the last ball of the day. On day one, Footballers elected to bat and a boil-over seemed likely when they stumbled to 5/66 before Tharanga Lakshita and Radhik Gooneratne pushed the score to 160 when Lakshita fell first ball after drinks for 60. Gooneratne gave terrific support with 64 as the 'Ballers' were dismissed in the 74th over for a defendable 205. Former Sri Lankan international fast bowler Lakshita produced a marathon performance, reducing The Beavers to 7/107 and a possible early finish. However, the talented Anthony Brolic was

Game over: The close-knit Knoxfield players claim a hat-trick of premierships. 179113 untroubled with wickets falling all around him, until he gained support from Steve Kennedy and Brad Paull which saw Lysterfield back in the contest requiring 17 runs to win at a run a ball with just one wicket in hand. Lakshita commenced the final over to Brolic with eight wickets to his name as the Beavers required seven runs for the flag. The experienced Sri Lankan delivered a brilliant final over leaving Brolic (89*) stranded at the bowlers end with a boundary required to win from the last ball. Tailender, Tim Chivers could manage only a single, giving the Griffins a two-run victory and the Shield.

MOTORING
Building blocks of an icon The full-size Lego replica of the all-new Toyota Camry debuts tomorrow at the Brickman Awesome exhibition in Melbourne. Comprising more than 500,000 Lego bricks, the Toyota Camry replica weighs two tonnes, an astonishing 0.4 tonnes more than the working car. The replica features signature details of the Toyota Camry, such as Toyota logos on the alloy wheels, hybrid lettering, working headlights, indicators and brake lights. "We're so excited to introduce the all-new Toyota Camry in a fun and interactive environment to Melbournians," said Toyota Australia chief designer Nicholas Hogios. "It's amazing to see how quickly the car was put together in such a streamlined approach - much like our own design process locally in Australia. "The dedication and time that has been put into this one-of-a-kind project really meshes with Toyota's dedication to the quality, durability and reliability of our respective products. "It also provides us a fun platform to showcase the stylish Camry designed in a different and interactive way." The Lego Camry was designed by Ryan 'The Brickman' McNaught, the only Lego certified professional in the southern hemisphere and one of only 14 in the world. Ryan said he was excited about his creation. "It's taken over two months to build and comprises more than 500,000 bricks, but I'm really pleased with the outcome and can't wait to see what everyone else thinks of it! I'm delighted we have partnered with Toyota and I've had this opportunity to build my first full-scale Lego car." The high-quality replica took 900 hours to assemble over eight weeks, more than 40 times
The Lego vehicle features the signature details of the Camry. 178986_01 longer than Toyota takes to make a single car - which includes stamping panels, welding, painting, assembly and inspections.
The Lego Toyota Camry is on display at the Brickman Awesome exhibition in Melbourne Museum Plaza until Sunday 29 April.

Easter Saturday sees the return of the Alexandra & District Speedway Club to action, with the running of the Victorian Sports Sedan title and the Standard Saloon Valley Legends Classic headlining the racing along with support from all the local club classes. Alexandra & District Speedway Club continues to be the destination for race drivers from Melbourne's eastern and north-eastern suburbs, as well as our local Yarra and Murrindindi shire competitors, and numerous drivers from those areas will be keen to keep the Victorian title number one mantle within the area, as Jamie Paull the defending champion comes to Alexandra to defend. Steve Kershaw is one Alexandra member from his home town of Healesville keen to put on a good showing. "There will be some great competition coming from out town to do their best to take the win; however, Alexandra have to toughest
group of competitors in the class to defeat at the moment. Very strong local competition, we figure in the top five regularly so we believe we are in with a chance for this title, I've set my sights on a podium result," Kershaw said. Paull the defending champion had a race win recently at Wangaratta after a long rebuild of his car. After ending last season with a crash at the same venue, he is primed to compete strongly at Alexandra as are the Miller brothers, Damien and Brendan. Damien has held the Victorian title before while Brendan has the speed and the ability to do so and comes back to racing after a short break. Leigh Bourke from Geelong, Nathan Fawns also from Geelong, Shane Kruger who won at Ballarat recently, Dale Morrison, Dale Smith and Jack Van Bremen all from the home club Alexandra should figure in the results.

BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE With Winter Rains still to come, it’s Time To catch it, order and build your concrete tank NOW!!!
Ph. 1800 267 696 Concrete tanks built correctly will last a life time! Terry Miller has been in the concrete tank building business for over 30 years. Being from country North East Victoria himself, Barnawartha, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems. Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because the tanks have 5-inch walls and a six-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30 mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. And after 28 days curing the strength of the concrete will be between 48 and 52 mpa. And each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength in the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tank are vibrated all around to ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000, 105,000 and 120,000 either with a silo roof, concrete top or open top tanks. The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, and this is particularly important in areas where there is high wind, or fire prone districts. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, homes can be kept cool and wet. Or if need be, the tank can be used as protection to keep cool from flames and radiant heat. Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it! So for all your water storage needs when you are thinking of installing your next tank, please call Terry for a quote on 1800 267 696 or check out our website, www.terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au. And in light of fire prone districts, we can highly recommend if you are considering your own on site water, choose a well constructed concrete water tank, as tin and plastic tanks will melt during fires!
