Indigenous Elder and Healesville resident Aunty Dot Peters has been recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) as part of the Queen's Birthday 2019 honours for her significant service to the Indigenous community of Victoria. Aunty Dot said she was surprised when she heard she earned the achievement. "I don't do anything to get glory out of it. I do it because I am interested in the community," Aunty Dot said. Aunty Dot said she was happy to see the work of Indigenous people be recognised at a national level. From 1980 to 1991 Aunty Dot worked as an Aboriginal Educator at Healesville Primary School, educating students about Indigenous culture and showing them how to weave baskets. "It was good to talk to the children, but even now I still have some of them talking to me in the streets as young men," she said. "I taught them about Aboriginal issues and they had remembered what I said to them, so I think that's terrific. "My grandmother taught me how to make baskets ... I like to share what I know about our community and about our people," she said. Aunty Dot shared a story about her grandmother and her links to the family of famous bushranger Ned Kelly. "When they were on the reserves, my grandmother was up near Alexandra. "And the police would come down and try to take the kids away, and when Ned Kelly's mum would see them coming, she used to hide the kids away in their house. Aunty Dot said she has always had a soft spot for the Kelly family. "They were very good to the Aboriginal people." "I like to tell people that story because they had a hard time in the community with the police, the Kelly's. Aunty Dot said that she loved the community spirit of Healesville, the town she grew up in. "When we had got the word that dad had died, at the time mum owed the butcher and the grocer money and they told her to forget about it. "That's what Healesville was like in those days."

IN BRIEF The round-up Queens Park damaged
Service of Steele By Jed Lanyon Dixons Creek resident and Mount Evelyn RSL life member Tom Steele has received the Anzac of the Year Award for his extensive community work over the years, including playing the bugle at countless Anzac services across the Yarra Ranges. "I was shocked, I didn’t believe it," he said. “It means a great deal to me, I’m very humbled by it.” Anzac of the Year Awards are made annually by the RSL to an individual or a group in each state/territory to recognise the efforts and achievements of up to seven Australians who have given service to their fellow Australians and to the community in a positive, selfless and compassionate manner. Mr Steele served as a member of the Victorian Police Force for 38 years rising to the rank of Senior Sergeant, served in the Citizens Militia Force and volunteered with Dixons Creek CFA for 28 years. He performed in the Police Band, was involved in local sports as a football umpire and
cricket player and played the Last Post at war cemeteries across Europe. “I know that a lot of people come to the services and listening to the Last Post is what they like to hear and it stirs the memory,” Mr Steele said. “For me, I try to do the absolute best job I can do, not only for the people who come, but to honour the soldiers who didn’t come home.” Local military historian and chair of the Seville War Memorial Committee Anthony McAleer said, “Every district needs a Tom Steele - a person who is always prepared to assist and volunteer in their community in any way they know will benefit it. “Over the decades he has displayed an almost tireless effort in anything he has been involved in and has worked hard in numerous ways that has helped and positively affected so many individuals and groups, especially in the Shire of Yarra Ranges,” Mr McAleer said. Mr Steele thanked Mr McAleer and Mount Evelyn RSL President Roger Boness for nominating him for the award.
Only days after the Queens Park play space re-opened on 15 May, vandals caused about $8000 damage to the play equipment. Healesville Acting Sergeant Tim Stewart said the bandits cut through ropes and part of the deck netting and cut down newly-planted trees. He said it was extremely disappointing, considering the playground had only opened weeks before and urged anyone with information to call Healesville Police Station on 5962 4422.
Bottle from Bordeaux Thieves stole a $1000 bottle of wine from the Barrique wine store in Healesville. Police said a man aged in his forites entered the shop at 4pm on 4 June and allegedly left with the bottle without paying for it. Anyone with information should call Healesville Police Station on 5962 4422.

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Glen's Sticks and Hooks social craft group donated over 50 knitted items to homeless support group Healesville Inter-Church Community Inc (HICCI) on Tuesday 4 June. The group meets at the Yarra Glen Living and Learning Centre and use donated wool to craft 30 beanies, 9 blankets, 7 scarves, 3 pairs of children's socks, 2 dolls and a jumper for those living rough in the colder months. Manager of the centre Debra Traill said it warms her heart every time this group meets. "Their enthusiasm to take wool and craft it into a warm blanket, beanie or scarf made with love is just wonderful and it's great to know that their handcrafted goodies will now go to those less fortunate." Craft group member Jill Sheffield said she enjoys the companionship of the group and the ability to help those in need. "The contributions are coming from all over the community. Anybody who hears that we're creating for people in need, are offering us yarn. "So it's all come with love from the community," she said. Executive officer for HICCI Alison Gommers was thankful for the donation from the craft group. "This is huge, especially for people coming in at this time of year when we're all a bit dark, dreary and cold. "That cuddly, nice and warm feeling for some people will make a big difference," she said. Not all Sticks and Hooks members were present for the handover, but still donated their time to craft the clothing.

Dude, where’s my car? A Healesville duo is on drug charges after their hire car was towed from a clearway in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, on Monday 3 June. Car hire company staff arrived at the depot to collect the vehicle on Wednesday 5 June but allegedly noticed a strong smell of marijuana inside. When the pair that hired the car also showed up to the depot, the police were called to the scene. The officers allegedly seized cash and drugs from the vehicle and drivers, including what's believed to be methylamphetamine, heroin, ketamine and cannabis. They arrested a 24-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, both from Healesville, at the scene. They charged the pair with possessing and trafficking drugs of dependence and they will appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Aerial ropeway flew free ‘Good heavens - what is that?’ may well have been the reaction of visitors to Healesville in the 1920s - and there were many of them during those years. People were intrigued by the contraption 300 feet (about 87 metres) above their heads, and dominating the Healesville skyline for six years. The aerial ropeway - for that’s what it was - travelled from Healesville Railway Station to the Maroondah Dam construction site, a distance of 2 and a half miles (4 kilometres). The journey took 45 minutes for each of the 84 buckets carrying sand or cement, being driven by a steam plant at the headworks. The aerial ropeway worked for eight hours and 45 minutes a day and always kept to a strict schedule. The timetable had been arranged with such
mathematical precision throughout the day, year in, year out. Forty-two loaded buckets on their way to the dam kept pace with an equal number of empty ones descending for their next load. Three hundred feet (87m) separated each bucket and they travelled at 3 miles per hour.
Over the course of the operation, 508,180 bags of cement, as well as many tons of sand, were safely transported mid-air to the construction site. For six years the aerial ropeway - sometimes mistakenly referred to as the ‘flying fox’ - operated without a single accident despite the buckets travelling over houses and electric lighting lines. Despite local stories circulated over the years, there is no credible evidence that adventurous local youths used to ‘hitch a ride’ in the buckets. However, one late member of the Historical Society, whose father was an overseer with the Country Roads Board, recalled that she and her sisters were sometimes allowed to ride on the ‘flying fox’, as she called it. She described it as ‘an exciting ride, cross-

Calls to halt hoons By Jed Lanyon State Member for Eildon Cindy McLeish is calling for action to stop hooning on Mount Donna Buang. Speaking in the Victorian parliament Ms McLeish called on the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to work with all government agencies to provide a solution to stop hooning on Mount Donna Buang. "Hooning and car racing activity at night on Mount Donna Buang causes considerable damage to the road and car park, places strain on the resources of various government agencies and distresses locals. "There are large numbers of vehicles involved in this hooning, which is a year-round activity, particularly on Friday and Satur-
day nights late and into the early hours," Ms McLeish said. "It is a beautiful spot, and it is a great destination in summer and winter. But sadly the late-night racing activity is now a considerable problem, and it has been a discussion point locally for quite some time. "The activity appears to be quite organised. I am informed that typically there are 10 to 20 cars at a time, but recently one of the locals counted 24 cars taking part in this activity," she said. "They rev their engines as they drive up and down the mountain. The 10 mile car park is a large open area and is intended obviously as a car park for tourists, but it is being used for burnouts and drifting.
"It is now littered with shredded tyres, and you can see the burnt rubber," Ms McLeish said. Ms McLeish's calls come following complaints from concerned residents and an onsite meeting between residents and government agencies to address the issue. "I attended a strategy meeting in March this year with a number of interested stakeholders, including people from the police and VicRoads, business owners, the Warburton Advancement League, local users and the council." "An added complexity is that this car park is managed by Parks Victoria. So we have got the VicRoads road, we have got car parks managed by Parks Victoria and also within this is the role of enforcement, with the police," Ms McLeish said.
Yarra Valley Trail works underway By Jed Lanyon Construction is now in progress for the first stages of the Yarra Valley Trail, which will connect Yarra Glen and Healesville to Lilydale and the Lilydale-Warburton Rail Trail. Major works are getting underway on the first stages of the Yarra Valley Trail, a project that will connect Yarra Glen and Healesville to Lilydale and Works for the first part of stage one are taking place to connect a 7.5 kilometre portion from Lilydale to Yering along the former rail corridor. Ryrie Ward Councillor Fiona McAllister said that Coldstream residents would see works happening along the rail line. "We're very excited that work is getting underway on this project and that later this year, riders will be able to see the first stretch between Lilydale and Yering," Cr McAllister said. "The first stage of the trail follows the alignment of the former railway line between Lilydale and Yarra Glen that operated for almost 100 years - this will be a view of the valley that most people won't have had access to for nearly 40 years. "We've been working with the Yarra Valley Railway to make sure the trail works alongside their goal of opening a tourist rail line between Healesville and Yarra Glen - this includes developing shared visitor facilities at Yarra Glen Station to service all kinds of visitors that come past. "When this project is finished, residents will be able to get out and about in a different way with rarely-seen views of the Yarra Valley just a walk or a bike ride away. "We expect it'll bring tens of thousands of visitors into the Yarra Valley, who will visit businesses, stay and eat locally and get to enjoy the beautiful surrounds that we're lucky enough to see every day," Cr McAllister said. The remaining part of stage one will then connect Yering to Yarra Glen and will feature new and repaired bridges to replace the heritage rail bridges destroyed in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires along with a new bridge
Diabetes trial call Yarra Ranges residents with type two diabetes could take part in a new treatment trial. Eastern Health and Monash University are testing a newly-approved treatment for type two diabetics as a preventative measure for cardiovascular disease. Researchers are seeking participants for the clinical trial for Liraglutide. The trial will evaluate the new anti-diabetic medication's affects in potentially reducing cardiovascular disease in type two diabetic patients. "Patients with type two diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease," principal investigator Associate Professor Anthony Dear said. "The overall objective is to reduce cardiovascular disease, in the form of heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease." The trial came about following animal and clinical studies suggesting the new medication might prevent cardiovascular disease. "We have a great opportunity for people with type two diabetes to help us identify if this treatment can protect against the development of cardiovascular disease, by participating in the clinical trial," Mr Dear said. People aged 35 to 80 years old with type two diabetes who do not take insulin, aspirin or any other blood thinning medications and do not have a history of heart attack, stroke or peripheral vascular disease are encouraged to apply. The study will last six months and include eight visits to the university clinic in Box Hill. Travel expenses will be reimbursed. Call study co-ordinator Vanessa James on 9194 7573 or email Vanessa.James@monash. edu for more information or to apply.
Toolangi has dinner plan
The Yarra Valley Trail will connect to the existing Warburton Trail. over the Yarra River. Construction of this stage is expected to start in March 2020. Yarra Ranges Council said that these bridges will keep the existing character of their original counterparts, retaining as much of the existing structure as possible and reinforcing them to make them safe for trail use. Stage two of the trail will connect Yarra Glen to Healesville, while the third stage will con-
nect Healesville to the Warburton Trail, joining the two major trails in a loop. The Yarra Valley Trail's first stage has been funded with $3.5 million from the state government, $2.5 million from the federal government's Regional Growth Fund and $2.5 million from Yarra Ranges Council.

Over soup and scones, the crowd heard from Badger Creek resident Doris Pozzi on the experience of community planning in Badger Creek and what they had achieved as a result. Attendees also participated in a number of brainstorming activities about what the Toolangi-Castella community needs to thrive and how those ideas might be brought to life. Murrindindi Shire Mayor Sandice McAulay said it was great to see so many Toolangi-Castella community members on such a cold and wet night.

Local author shares tale By Jed Lanyon Local author Catherine Moolenschot returned to Yarra Junction Library on Monday 3 June to speak about the process of writing Jim's Book, a biography on Jim's Mowing founder Jim Penman. Ms Moolenschot interviewed over 100 people involved in Jim's life, many having different views and recollections of moments from his journey. "It was difficult , it's very hard when you bounce between different accounts of what happened and different opinions on what should have happened, while trying to dig deep to find out what actually happened. Ms Moolenschot explained the challenge of being asked personally by Jim to write his biography to then have to uncover stories and details of his life that sometimes depicted Jim in a poor light. "You have to go to the hard places, you have to ask the hard questions and ultimately that is where the juice and the interesting stuff comes out," she said. "I think it's a little scary following all the threads to a story because Jim isn't a perfect person at all and the book really does highlight his flaws and how some people have been really hurt by some of the things he has done. "Obviously it highlights the good as well, but finding all of that out was a job and it wasn't always easy." Ms Moolenschot grew up in Yarra Junction and said it was great to be back at the library to tell her story. "It was so special to be back, this was literally my library. This is where I went every week or more, so it was very special to come back
and share the journey of my writing." Ms Moolenschot spoke to a few students who attended, including one from Little Yarra Steiner School, where she was a former pupil. The 24-year-old author, ghost-writer and TEDx speaker gave students some one-on-one advice about their writing. "There was a student from Little Yarra who was thinking about writing a book for her year eight project, so she shared a lot of questions about that and it was really beautiful," she said. Ms Moolenschot wrote her first book at the age of 13 as a school project in year eight and has now published three books to date. "There was a grade six student from Healesville as well and she came prepared with a whole lot of questions, she even had a question from her friend who was at school. "She also brought a printed out short story that she had written that I got to read ... I was really touched, it was nice. "It's so exciting that they want to write and I just hope that maybe the fact that I've managed to build a career out of writing will inspire them to know that it's something that they can do too," Ms Moolenschot said. Ms Moolenschot said she is currently working on writing her next novel. The Surprising Story of Jim's Mowing is available for purchase from Booktopia.

CFA reform passes By Casey Neill The contentious Fire Services Reform bill passed its first hurdle "at record pace". Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) said the proposed legislation avoided scrutiny when it passed the Legislative Assembly (Lower House) on 6 June. The State Government put forward the legislation on Wednesday 29 May, and it will now head to the Legislative Council (Upper House). It will shake up Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) boundaries for the first time since the 1950s to reflect population growth, and will introduce provide presumptive rights to cancer compensation for career and volunteer firefighters. VFBV CEO Adam Barnett said CFA volunteers were particularly angry with repeated misrepresentations and falsehoods that CFA was not providing world-class service to urban communities. "No credible evidence has been provided to
back those claims - and worse, the proposed changes add no additional capacity to the system," he said. "Changing logos on trucks, uniforms and payslips does not modernise or improve community safety. "The proposed Bill actually takes us backwards pre-CFA - reverting to a model similar to what existed at the time of the disastrous 1938'39 Black Friday fires. "Back then there was The Bush Fire Brigades and the Country Fire Brigades operating across regional and rural Victoria as two distinct fire services, together with the Forests Commission. "These two services operated with inconsistent equipment, different operational doctrine, different chains of command and inconsistent equipment; and that cost lives." Mr Barnett said the CFA was established to fix the problem of multiple services competing across the same geographic areas.
He said the bill would create a patchwork of boundaries where two fire services would cohabitate, with different training, equipment, operational doctrine, command structures and accountabilities. Eildon MP Cindy McLeish, speaking in the Victorian Parliament, labelled the government's attempt to pass the bill in the Lower House within three days as a disgrace. "Not only does it show a lack of respect for the process and the parliamentary system but it also shows a lack of respect for those that are impacted by this bill," she said. CFA acting CEO/CO Gavin Freeman said the reforms were a great opportunity to improve fire services to the whole community. The new model will not come into effect until mid-2020, which will mean no change for the 2019-'20 fire season. An implementation monitor will oversee the reforms and Fire Rescue Victoria and the CFA operations for 10 years.
Wheel stops to prevent car accidents By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges Council will install rubber wheel stops across several parking bays on Bell Street in Yarra Glen after two cars mounted the kerb causing damage to store fronts within 12 days last month. Council has informed traders that 12 wheel stops will be installed between the property frontages of 27 and 43 Bell Street within the next few weeks. The wheel stops come after an elderly driver crashed their car into the storefront of a Yarra Glen fish and chip shop on 15 May, just 12 days after another elderly driver took out a pole outside the Bottle-O on 3 May.
Police believed the accidents were a result of drivers attempting to park their car while putting their foot on the accelerator instead of the brake. The owner of the Bottle-O said that prior to the second accident at the fish and chip shop, he made a request to council to have bollards placed along the path to help prevent further incidents. He said that it's 'pretty good news' to see that council have responded to his request and that he hopes that the wheel stops will prevent or minimise future incidents along the storefronts. Kat Cheong, traffic and transport engineer
for council said, "Yarra Ranges Council has a continuing commitment to improve road safety within the municipality. "Our traffic and transport team have recently investigated the on-street parking along Bell Street, Yarra Glen and have identified a history of traffic accidents occurring due to drivers mounting the kerb onto the footpath." Nobody was inside Highside Fish and Chips Cafe at the time of the incident, as the business had decided to close early for the day. "We were lucky that we weren't there ... We had pulled the pin on the day early at 11am, so we were meant to be there," business owner Peter Hagianis said.

NEWS
Pat’s brush with fame There’s not much in the world of racing that fazes Pat Lalor. He was as unflappable and personable as he was uncompromising in his 18 years as Victorian racing’s top cop, earning the nickname the Smiling Hangman. But a phone call to his Pakenham home a couple of months ago did come as quite a shock. It was to inform the retired Victorian Racing Club (VRC) chief steward that he was to be inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame, alongside the likes of jockey Hugh Bowman, who piloted champion mare Winx to her record-breaking run of 33 straight wins. “I am very humbled and honoured,” Pat said. “I couldn’t believe it when I got the phone call. I thought there would be a lot of others ahead of me for that kind of honour. “Being inducted on the same night as Hugh Bowman is a big thing. He is the best jockey in Australia at the moment.” Pat becomes only the second steward to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, following the late Alan Bell. Inducted in 2017, Alan Bell was also VRC chief steward in the 1940s and ‘50s. A former amateur rider and trainer, he was renowned as being “strict but fair” and had an ability to stop trouble before it started. That almost mirrors Pat’s credentials and reputation. Growing up as one of 10 children in Healesville, Pat also started as an amateur rider. He learned to ride when he was 12 with the help of Rob Christie, a local butcher living at the back of the Lalor property who trained a few horses on the side. A young Pat finished third in his first three race starts at Queenscliff on a track carved into the middle of the golf course. His first win was on Trebla (Albert spelt backwards) at Alexandra and he went on to win another two races on that horse after it was renamed Barry John. Over his decade-long riding career he landed 41 wins from 163 rides - and he also dabbled in training for a few years before starting as club steward at the Healesville Amateur Racing Club. Pat had completed a carpentry apprenticeship and was working at the Melbourne Board of Works when an invitation came from Bill Betts to join the stewards’ panel in the north east of Victoria in a professional capacity. He jumped at the opportunity. By 1963, the bush telegraph was trumpeting the virtues of the promising young steward and Pat was invited to join the Melbourne panel by its then chief Frank Bullock. “I was a bit reluctant,” he recalled. “I didn’t

know if I would make the grade.” Frank took the young steward under his wing and within six years he was acting as the deputy chief steward. When Jim Ahern, a well-known Pakenham racing identity, retired as the VRC’s chief steward in March 1980, Pat took the reins and served in that position until his retirement in September 1996. Integrity was a family trait. While Pat was VRC chairman, his brother Gerard was a boss of the Victorian harness racing stewards’ panel while another sibling, Adrian (dec), was president of the Victorian Police Association. Des Gleeson, who was Pat’s deputy for 17 years and then took the reins when he retired, welcomed news of his induction into the Hall of Fame. “It is fantastic for Pat to be recognised, but it’s also fantastic for stewarding to see him honoured in that manner,” he told Matt Stewart on an interview with RSN’s Racing Pulse. “It is thoroughly earned. Pat was a wonderful steward and when I started in 1972 Pat gave great assistance to me.” Des said race reading was critical in being a steward and that there was no better reader of a race than Pat, putting it down to the fact that
turning around its fortunes and it is now as healthy as it has been. Pat and partner Yvonne Blackwood, a former long-time chief executive of the Cranbourne Turf Club who now sits on the Pakenham Racing Club committee, had a cattle property for years on Dore Road in Nar Nar Goon. They have now sold that property for Melbourne Cup winning jockey and former leading trainer Pat Hyland and are living out their retirement in Pakenham. When the Mail turned up for a chat about the Hall of Fame honour, the coffee was brewing and the Herald-Sun form guide and a copy of the Winning Post racing newspaper were strewn alongside the plate of home-made slices on the kitchen table. Pat and Yvonne and their great mates Frances and Hank Knaap are regulars at the races and three of them have been known to have a bet or three - and a syndicate quaddie of a Saturday. Pat always abstains. “If you ever see me have a bet, you had better to get on it,” he was once heard to remark, sporting a big smile.
he was a rider in his early years. “He was a real horseman, who had a great eye for a race,” he said. Des said the Lalor method would be prevention rather than cure and it was not unusual for him to tap someone on the shoulder, bring them into the stewards’ room and suggest that they “never do it again”. “His edict was that if you can prevent something from happening you can save a lot of work,” Des said of his mentor. He added that Pat was always in control and had respect of people in the industry, with his skills sought around the world. “Pat’s reputation around the world was at the highest level,” Des said. “He was known to be hard but fair and a terrific person away from the races. We became great friends.” Since retiring, Pat has served on the committee of the Cranbourne Turf Club and also the Victorian Country Racing Council. He also returned to his roots to chair the Healesville Amateur Racing Club in a time of need. The club was struggling financially, so Pat agreed to head a committee that set about

Dark Phoenix features some of the best character writing in the long, rocky X-Men film series but falls short of its predecessors in the action department. After absorbing an otherworldly force, powerful mutant Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) confronts the hidden demons of her past. Dark Phoenix is an engrossing character drama full of sensitive pathos, but the rest is perfunctory. The first two acts are tragic and tightlypaced, steadily delivering damning details that force the X-Men apart. Jean and benevolent franchise mainstay Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) attain newfound moral nuance, with Charles revealed as increasingly egotistical and disrespectful of boundaries, while Jean, who unleashes her grief and resentment through her new powers,
lashes out from a legitimate sense of betrayal by Charles. Dark Phoenix has a well-acted, deeplyaffecting narrative framework about broken trust and all-consuming anger but the rest of the film is lightweight and unfocused. The supporting characters plainly describe their motivations, but change them far too quickly. Members of the alien race courting Jean for the energy inside her are bland, extraneous villains. The small-scale action highlights Jean's emotional turmoil but it's also visually uninteresting. The action climax is tense and contains dynamic choreography, but it's severely unoriginal, being at least the fourth sequence in the X-Men series to take place on a train or other long moving vehicle. A compelling character piece, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is still a stumbling conclusion to the rebooted X-Men series. - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au

Here’s cheers to wildlife Healesville Sanctuary couldn't have asked for better winter weather for its Wine and Wildlife event. Sunny skies greeted visitors on Saturday and Sunday 8 and 9 June, and a soggy start cleared up on Monday 10 June. The sanctuary teamed up with Yarra Valley food and wine providers for a gourmet event set within a short stroll of some of Australia's cutest creatures. Guests stayed cosy - and toasted marshmallows - around open fires, enjoyed live music and tasted local food and beverages. All ticket proceeds will help Zoos Victoria to save the endangered Tasmanian devil from extinction.

There is change in the air By Nick Creely AFL Outer East is set to shun the traditional relegation process in 2020, with region head office confirming it is going to make a raft of changes as it searches to fast track the structure for its Outer East football and netball competition moving forward. It is understood that clubs will be provided the opportunity to apply to move down a division in 2020, even if they do not finish last in 2019. Premiership teams and teams placing last will follow the relegation promotion system, however it means that next year, Outer East - rather than implementing the traditional one up, one down model - will see plenty of movement occurring between divisions, a process region general manager Aaron Bailey explained will require a "whole club consideration". "As we get any indications of clubs looking to move down, which we will do in Premier and Division 1, we will seek indications from clubs who wish to move into higher divisions. This may see increased movement in 2019 than we traditionally see," he said. "We will continue to look at our competition structure, however at this stage nine, nine and eight is preferable for 2020. "Being a new structure - and the Division 1 and 2 being really good competitions - the Premier Division at the moment is not as competitive as we'd like, and this will allow clubs to have some control of their own destiny, and able to identify where the best fit is to build a long and sustainable program at their club. "This allows clubs to speak to their players, coaches, sponsors and members and set clear direction for next year and beyond. Movement up from divisions below will be confirmed once we have a clear indication of club preferences in the division above. "Clubs who are at the bottom end of divisions, but believe that division is best fit for them, now can put the steps into place to be successful in that division and start building for the next three to five years." Bailey added that there has already been some initial discussion about next year, and its understood that several clubs have already indicated its preferences. "Clubs have spoken to us (already) about their best fit for 2020, so the conversations have certainly started, but the formalities will be a four to six week process, and once we know who wants to go down, we'll be able to outline to all clubs the promotion and relega-
There is set to be plenty of movement between divisions in the Outer East in 2020. 193860 Picture: ROB CAREW tion model for 2019. "We expect there will be increased movement this year." But as for some north-east clubs competing in Division 2, Bailey said that for the long-term future in the region, there is still some work to do to find the best solution. "We are working with AFL Goldfields and AFL Goulburn Murray to find the best structure for football in that region, which will be finalised over the next six months. We will work with those clubs to identify the best structure for football in the Murrindindi Region," he said. "There is work being done in regard to whether there can be a standalone league, and that'll be out of that region, and if not, what will be the best long term fit for each club. "We want these clubs to be sustainable, have increased opportunities to play finals, and compete every year - we need to look at how to do that, so we'll work with all those clubs individually. "This is a consultative approach with them, they'll be part of the process - our preference is to create a standalone league where they can
compete across the central Goulburn, northeast region. "What we want to do, is make sure they are sustainable, that they have pathways, and they have the opportunity to have success, and playing finals. "We're hoping to have an answer on that by the end of the year." Bailey said that AFL Outer East expects to deliver all aspects of the 'Future Direction of football and netball' document by 2021, with the current priority to provide three senior divisions, where clubs find their level in senior football, netball and under-18 football. But being meticulous, and ensuring they don't do damage to any club by placing them in a division they can't be successful in, is vitally important moving forward. "Our key is to get the structure right, and to get all the clubs in the right divisions - if we go one up, one down, we don't want a club languishing at the bottom where they're not suited. That could do long-term damage," he said. "We're seeking feedback on clubs on their current position and what level will provide each club the best chance of building strong,
vibrant football netball structures. "But for us, our future direction is set, we are where want to be as a competition, a divisional model in Casey, Yarra Ranges and Cardinia. That allows growth and entry points for new clubs and sustainability within the existing clubs. "We need to be flexible, listen to clubs and move clubs around more than what we would normally do to find the model that works. "Once clubs tell us where they want to be, we will start to move towards that and its on clubs to build and grow within that." Another major change set to come in as of next year is in the under-18 football model, with the potential for senior sides to not be competing in the same division as their pathway sides. "We are currently seeking feedback for clubs on their preferred model with underage football moving forward," Bailey said. "Creating competitive underage competitions is a high priority for us. The model used by the EFL and Geelong, where teams are graded, is one we are keen to implement. "The structure for the under-18s will hopefully come out by the end of June this year for 2020, and that may see some changes to the traditional under 18 model of the past. "Under age football and netball continue to be key areas in our restructure." As for new clubs set to enter AFL Outer East in the future, Bailey said that ensuring the region gets its structure right was the priority for the time being. But he also indicated that Berwick Springs was tracking along well, and is not too far away from being a senior club. "Berwick Springs have done a really good job in developing under 18's and netball, and by 2021 they will be a senior club. We are hopeful that as early as 2020 they will enter a side(s) at senior level," he said. "But we're keen to work with new clubs, and Berwick Springs is a very good start. It is crucial we develop more clubs in the Casey Cardinia region and we will continue to have conversations with clubs, particularly in the South East Juniors around becoming senior clubs. As our competition structure finalises over the next two years, opportunities for existing clubs to join the Outer East competition may emerge. "In the short term, our focus is on getting the structure right. We are confident that as that happens, more opportunities for clubs will develop."
Pressure comes to the fore By Nick Creely Pressure, pressure, pressure, and more pressure. That's what faced both Monbulk and Doveton during a gruelling, relentless game of football in AFL Outer East Division 1 on Saturday. The undefeated Hawks rode the wave of mounting opposition momentum and some wayward kicking at goal to keep its undefeated start to the season alive, 7.16 (58) to 7.8 (50). In a game filled with those little moments - whether being a crucial shepherd, crunching tackle or lunging spoil out of danger - the Hawks, in the end, had the answers, but it was an almighty scare from a Doves unit filled with plenty of pluck. The Doves managed to get off to the perfect start away from home, and with the ground baked in sunshine, forward James Gascard slotted the opening major with an arrowstraight shot at goal. But the home side picked up the pieces quickly and began to assert control in every area of the game, except its ability to convert on the scoreboard. Peppering the goals, and using the ball superbly going forward, the Hawks' forward could only muster up six straight behinds, before the Doves once again found the goals in a major well and truly against the tide. After seven behinds, the Hawks finally con20 MAIL

verted one of their many chances in front of goal to cut the margin to just 13 points at quarter time. The physicality of the contest truly came to the fore in the second term with disposals and free space almost impossible to find, but the Hawks were coming hard and starting to utilise its class around the footy to find targets moving forward. But holding firm - through the likes of Lachie Batten, who was playing a blinder - the Doves managed to hold the home side somewhat, and despite only registering one behind for the term, went in with scores level and plenty to play for. As the game wore on, the Hawks slowly got the scoreboard talking, and surged home after trailing by 10 at the final break to snag three late majors to take the points in one of the matches of the season. Big man Johnathon Hevern was simply sublime all across the ground for the Hawks, with Glenn Strachan and Shane Williams (two goals) all providing big moments, while for the Doves, James Gascard was dangerous in the air to finish with two goals, while Matthew Boyd and Lachie Batten picked up plenty of the footy. In the other Division 1 matches in this split round, Mount Evelyn flexed its muscles to gain some valuable percentage against Belgrave, 24.23 (167) to 8.7 (55). In the Premier Division, Woori Yallock's
It was a highly contested game of football down at Monbulk on Saturday. dominant second-half set up a 16-point win against Upwey Tecoma, 14.16 (100) to 12.12 (84). Upwey got off to a barnstorming six-goal first term to be leading by 19 at the first break and eventually 11 at half-time, but the visitors eventually got the game on their terms, scoring eight goals to three after half-time to win comfortably.

IN BRIEF Close win for De Vincentis
Cross country fun
On a heavy course, after so much precipitation, the scores in the Wednesday 5 June Warburton Golf Club stroke and M McGrann bag day contest were not as low as in recent weeks. Mario De Vincentis qualified for the bag play-off with a solid nett 68, but he only claimed it after a very close countback. Allan 'Old Man River' Hubbard also shot a 68, and he had to be content with the runnerup prize. Both of these good golfers were clearly ahead of the pack, which resulted in the ball rundown getting to 73. Nearest the pin winners were Mario on the third, Peter Ingamelles on the 10th and on the devilish 12th, Ken Barratt hit a superb tee-shot. In the Saturday 8 June 4-BBB Stableford, a terrific paired effort was achieved by Sam Dennis and Danny Fox, who combined to rack up 70 points in total. This only just won the day, as President Hall and Secretary Barratt were hot on their heels. Their combined effort saw them accumulate 69 points to just miss out. They had to be content with the runner-up position. Balls were paid out to any pair who could score 65 points or better. The nearest the pin prizes on the day went to Alan Johnston on the third and Roger Mataele on the fifth.

MOTORING
The new HiAce in debut Toyota has launched a new HiAce van range that it says delivers vast improvements in driver comfort, performance, safety and functionality - with the same expansive carrying capacity as its predecessor. The first new HiAce in 15 years has been completely redesigned with a new semi-bonneted configuration. It's designed to meet the needs of commercial, private, corporate and fleet buyers. Sitting on a substantially longer and wider all-new platform, the new HiAce combines efficient new turbodiesel and V6 petrol engines, the latest suite of Toyota Safety Sense features, and a redesigned cabin with improved ergonomics. There'll be nine variants in the new model, with van versions available in long wheelbase (LWB) and super long wheelbase (SLWB) with a choice of new turbodiesel and petrol engines, manual (LWB-only) or automatic transmissions, and two-seat or five-seat capacity. Toyota's sales and marketing vice president, Sean Hanley, said every aspect of the new HiAce had been designed to appeal to owners who often spent long days behind the wheel. "We focused on making the new-generation vehicle an even better tool of trade through an all-new semi-bonneted design, increased performance, a quiet cabin, smooth ride and improved handling and agility," he said. "Its impressive carrying capacity is even more flexible and user-friendly with increased internal width, and increased height on LWB versions. He said dual sliding side doors on the SLWB variants could take a standard Australian pallet. "We are also providing HiAce customers with the same high level of safety as found in
our passenger cars and SUVs with a full suite of advanced Toyota Safety Sense technologies," Mr Hanley said. Priced from $38,6401, the HiAce range kicks off with the LWB van with the option of a 207kW 3.5-litre V6 petrol or 130kW 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine and sixspeed manual or automatic transmission. The new V6 petrol engine provides a huge increase in power and torque compared to the previous model's four-cylinder unit, with peak power boosted by 89kW while peak torque is increased by 108Nm to 351Nm. Although total capacity for the new turbodiesel engine has been slightly reduced, it too
offers more peak power and torque with an increase of up to 30kW and up to 150Nm compared with its 3.0-litre predecessor. At the same time, official combined cycle fuel consumption for turbodiesel variants has been cut by up to 8.7 per cent - thanks in part to a new stop/start system - with the manual LWB turbodiesel van variant returning a figure of just 7.5l/100km2. Toyota is also offering a LWB crew van that adds a second row of seats, enabling it to carry up to four passengers and driver, and is available exclusively with the turbodiesel engine driving the rear wheels through the six-speed automatic transmission.
For carrying passengers rather than cargo, the new HiAce line-up also includes the 12seat Commuter model that is available in two grades, both powered by the turbodiesel/automatic transmission powertrain. The Commuter GL is a small bus that offers prestige features including power sliding side door, front and rear air conditioning, six rear USB charge outlets, eight reading lights, premium upholstery and 16-inch alloy wheels. With the new semi-bonneted design, Toyota has been able to move the engine forward ahead of the front axle and seats, providing easier access to the engine bay, improved safety and greater stability and ride comfort. The LWB variants are 570mm longer and SLWB versions 535mm longer than the previous generation models. All models feature height-adjustable driver's seat, tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel with controls for the audio, infotainment and cruise control systems, manual air conditioning and extensive storage areas with big front door bins and 1.5-litre bottle holders. The HiAce features the latest generation multimedia system with a large seven-inch touchscreen display. Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance features include a pre-collision safety system with pedestrian and daytime cyclist detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, road sign assist (certain speed signs only) and auto high beam. Further standard safety features include cruise control, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors and up to nine airbags depending on the model.
Safe driving plea goes out Victorian drivers are urged to slow down and adapt to changing conditions, with winter increasing risk levels on the state's roads. Roads, Road Safety and TAC Minister Jaala Pulford joined representatives from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and VicRoads to call on Victorian motorists to be safe on the roads this winter. "It has been a heartbreaking year on our roads and with winter upon us ... we really need all Victorian road users to take extra care and look out for each other," she said. One hundred and forty people have lost their lives on Victorian roads this year, compared with 88 at the same time last year. Last year, 45 people died during winter, compared with 61 in 2017.
Wintry conditions magnify the dangers of driving, particularly on country Victorian roads, with black ice, fog, mist, rain, wind and land slips all potential hazards. Motorists are being urged to slow down and drive to the conditions, plan their journeys well in advance, and make safe decisions, including avoiding fatigue, drink and drug driving and distractions. People traveling in and around the alpine region, or making the journey home, should plan ahead and allow plenty of time to get to their destination safely. Drivers should ensure their tyres are in good condition, they get plenty of rest before their journey, they brake gently, they turn their lights on - even during the day - and reduce their speed in fog, mist or slippery conditions.
