n Chocolaterie caught up in...
Freckles fiasco By Jed Lanyon
Nestle reached out to offer their support to ensure the name-change could be an easy process for the Yarra Glen Chocolaterie. “We are willing to work with Yarra Valley Chocolaterie to support them to transition in a way which minimises their cost and inconvenience,” a spokesperson from Nestle said. “It’s important for companies to protect their trademarks by preventing unauthorised use, as if they don’t, they can lose the right to their brand names forever. This is why when we became aware that Yarra Valley Chocolaterie was using our trademark, we asked them to stop using it.” The chocolaterie owner assured her loyal customers that they will be enjoying the same great product and that it’s just the name that will be changing. “Everyone loves our chocolate. The crispness of the hundreds-and-thousands as well as the tasty high quality tempered chocolate is a match made in heaven ... It’s a fun product with a bright and colourful nature to it. But even Ms Neeland admitted that she has struggled with the re-naming of the beloved round choc disk covered in hundredsand-thousands that she has come to know as a Freckle. “I think I’ll be calling them Freckles for the rest of my days,” she joked.

Yarra Valley Chocolaterie has become embroiled in a trademark dispute with Nestle over an iconic Australian lolly. The family owned business has been told to cease using the term ‘Freckles’ by the world’s biggest food company. Freckles, an Aussie favourite for confectionary, are small chocolate buds coated in hundreds-and-thousands. The sweet treat was created in 1955, with a registered trademark in place on the name Freckles by Nestle. Yarra Valley Chocolaterie owner Leanne Neeland told the Mail she was surprised to receive a letter from the food giant demanding them to stop using the F word on over 20 of their products. “We couldn’t believe that somebody could own a word like freckles, it’s such a universal word,” she said. “We had the option to fight Nestle or to concede and move forward. We went with the latter option rather than face hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of legal fees. “But we’re trying to find the positive out of it. We asked our wonderful customers for their opinions on new names.” The chocolaterie decided to rebrand their products as polka dots to avoid any legal troubles.

Gone but not forgotten By Jed Lanyon A small group of Yarra Valley residents came together to commemorate the one year anniversary of the official extinction of the Bramble Cay Melomys on Wednesday 19 February. The residents took part in a short march in Healesville accompanied by a minute's silence in their push to see the government establish a national memorial and museum to extinct and endangered wildlife species in Australia. The Bramble Cay Melomys was a small brown rodent that lived on Bramble Cay Island near Papua New Guinea. The animal is believed to be the first animal to suffer extinction following the effects of climate change as its lowly sand island home was inundated by ocean water. March organiser Pam Baragwanath said that there were three similar demonstrations taking place across Victoria and that she hopes it will be an annual tradition. "We want a memorial to record the names of these animals, because they're becoming extinct on our watch. We are responsible for their wellbeing and survival," she said. "We want a memorial so that we're aware that it doesn't keep on happening." The group created a small wooden coffin to honour the Bramble Cay Melomys, but put a knitted Leadbeater's possum inside as they fear they will soon be mourning the loss of Victoria's state animal emblem. "Again, another unique, endemic animal to this country, it's nowhere else in the world and it's nowhere else in this country. It's easy to foresee that they might end up in that coffin as well."

Parliament protest over Warby logging By Jed Lanyon Yarra Valley residents gathered at the steps of state parliament on Tuesday 18 February to protest about the impact of ongoing and proposed logging of forests surrounding Warburton and other areas of Victoria’s Central Highlands. The group expressed their concerns on the impact of logging on biodiversity, water quality and increased fire risk. Among the environmental groups featured members of the Yarra Valley Climate Choir, who performed several songs, while members of the Wurundjeri, Gunnai and Tuaungurung clans spoke to those in attendance. The group said that several MPs came out from question time to listen to their concerns. A statement from Protect the Unburnt read, “These forests are home to the threatened Warran (Greater Glider), Mook Mook (Sooty Owl), critically endangered Wollert (Leadbeater’s Possum) and many other totems. Mount Bride, which towers over the picturesque township of Warburton is under immediate threat. Vicforest’s plan to log an eastern slope will scar the landscape, disturb local residence water supply and increase the fire risk to the whole community.“
Yarra Valley residents recently held community meetings to voice their concerns regarding potential new logging coupes in Warburton. Upon contacting VicForests, the stateowned harvester released information regarding the proposed logging coupe. “VicForests is investigating the suitability of a coupe (Apu) in Warburton for harvest. As part of this process VicForests is consulting with the Warburton community and conducting surveys and studies of the area,” the report reads. VicForests will be hosting an open house event at the Art Centre, Warburton on 29 February 1pm. The event is designed to inform locals and hear their perspective, while providing an opportunity to address questions. To register, visit https://bit.ly/2T3J4do.
The crowd protested against logging coupes in Waburton and the Central Highlands.

A time of rare courage This summer, we have witnessed the devastation of bushfires in the Upper Murray and East Gippsland regions. The similarities to the 1939 Black Friday Bushfires, also a mass conflagration across the east and north east of Victoria 81 years ago, are striking. Many of our local Fire Brigades were formed not long after Black Friday, a result of the 1939 Royal Commission. Locally this fire season we have been fortunate. I pay tribute to, and thank, our courageous local volunteers of the Yarra Valley and Maroondah CFA Groups and the Lilydale SES Unit, who were away from family over New Year, deployed on strike teams into fire ravaged communities like Sarsfield, Swifts Creek, Mallacoota and Plenty Gorge. Members of the Yarra Ranges Police were
also deployed during the bushfires emergency to assist with evacuation of towns and campgrounds, and local timber industry workers used their expertise and equipment to clear roads and debris. There were amazing efforts locally too. I congratulate Coldstream, Lilydale and Gruyere CFA Brigades for coordinating a massive Fire Donation Appeal, and thanks to our
generous community and local businesses who donated new goods and hay bales, and provided the use of warehouses, sheds, forklifts and trucks. Over 100 volunteers helped sort and pack 780 pallets of goods, delivered with $20,000 of store vouchers, by Yarra Valley locals on their own trucks to communities in great need like Buchan and Corryong. Also, congratulations to Rotary Clubs of Lilydale and Wandin for donating proceeds raised from the Lilydale Craft and Produce Market and the Custom Car and Bike Shows respectively, to bushfire affected communities. It's initiatives like these that capture the very best of the Australian spirit. We now enter the recovery phase and help those rebuild what they have lost. I recently visited the bushfire affected towns of Corry-
ong, Cudgewa and Tallangatta to hear firsthand from locals. These communities are still coming to terms with the impacts of these bushfires and we must continue to offer them support. There will be many lessons learned from these events. The role of governments must be reviewed to help minimise the severity of bushfires, including managing and reducing fuels loads which was a key recommendation of the 2009 Black Saturday Royal Commission. There are likely to be some uncomfortable truths, but unless we face them, we will fail in our duty to keep people, property, livestock and wildlife safe. Again, thank you to everyone in our local community who has helped this fire season.

Wine Down, Pop Up Wine enthusiasts and lovers of unique getaway experiences will have the chance to sleep amongst the vines as part of a luxury pop-up to be delivered at three wineries across the state. Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula was at Federation Square on Tuesday 19 February for a sneak peek at one of the converted shipping containers which will be dropped into vineyards to help drive visitation in regional Victoria in the wake of the summer's bushfires. The Wine Down Pop Up project will see the luxury pods placed at Seville Estate from 28 February to 28 March as well as in the Mornington Peninsula and Rutherglen. Each winery will offer accommodation in two converted shipping containers plus a hot tub and special wine bar, accompanied by a virtual-reality experience to inspire travel to other wine regions in Victoria. The containers will be powered by solar generators, making Wine Down Pop Up a carbon neutral operation. In 2019, the project proved an overwhelm-
ing success with 95 per cent occupancy across three months at vineyard locations in the King Valley, Macedon and South Gippsland. Tourism is an important employer in regional Victoria, supporting more than 90,000 jobs. In the year ending September 2019, regional Victoria welcomed more than 60 million domestic and international visitors, who spent an estimated $11.5 billion. Visit Victoria chief executive Brendan McClements said, "Regional Victoria has attractions and accommodation for visitors of every description and this is a terrific temporary addition to our offerings." Visit Victoria has partnered with sustainable designers Contained to deliver Wine Down Pop Up for a second year, with bookings available at contained.com.au/hotel. "Now is the time to book your regional Victorian getaway, because a short stay really does go a long way," Mr Pakula said. "Wine Down Pop Up offers a unique experience and will help to support tourism businesses and workers from across the state."
Rotary assists in recovery By Jed Lanyon The Rotary Club of Lilydale has been busy raising funds in support of the bushfire appeal. The club's fundraising efforts across several weeks culminating in their monthly craft and produce market saw over $8000 raised to go directly to those affected by bushfires in East Gippsland. But their efforts date back further as Lilydale Rotary has spent the last 18 months contributing hay as part of their drought relief assistance, with those efforts ramped up following the devastating bushfires, seeing over 800 round bales of hay transported to farmers in need. Lilydale Rotary's Ron Haines said the club has a great working relationship with Buchan CFA and the East Gippsland community.
He has seen the destruction of the fires firsthand, having supported fire fighting efforts of local brigades. "It's very important to help. The devastation down there stretches for hundreds of miles. "They need our support and that's why we're supporting the Rotary Fire Relief Appeal. Mr Haines said that the money raised will contribute to vouchers for those in need to spend on items they require from local businesses. But he acknowledges the work is far from over as Rotary is still accepting donations of hay and pet food to transport to those in need. One Rotarian, Tony Brock, is heading across to East Gippsland to assist farmers in rebuilding fences.
"It just shows the community spirit we have ... I'd just like to say thanks to the landowners of the Yarra Valley who generously donated their hay but also contributing to transport costs. We couldn't have done it without them. Mr Haines said that in the last fortnight
alone, 66 hay bales had been donated and transported to drought and bushfire stricken farmers. For donations of hay, contact Ron Haines on 0412 252 344. For donations of pet food, contact Tanya Brock on 0410 535 744.

Cash for cans pledge By Jed Lanyon The state opposition has pledged a cash for containers scheme that will allow Victorians to cash-in by depositing their used containers. A container deposit scheme aims to encourage the use of recycling and the reduction of litter and landfill waste by allowing the community to collect and return their empty cans, bottles and other containers for a 10 cent refund.
LETTERS
The scheme complements the Liberals' Zero Waste to Landfill policy to end landfill by 2035 and create a new low emission, reliable energy source. The state opposition claims the scheme will be designed in consultation with industry, including manufacturers, retailers, and hospitality providers, to maximise community benefits. Victoria is currently the only state in Australia that does not have, or plans to implement a
container deposit scheme. Boomerang Alliance brought their campaign for a container deposit scheme to the Yarra Valley in December when they gave 10 cents to locals for each can they delivered, while allowing them to sign a petition voicing their support for the issue. The petition was then forwarded to Evelyn MP Bridget Vallence. "The Victorian Liberals are committed to
Zero Waste to Landfill by 2035. As part of that we'll deliver a cash for containers scheme," Ms Vallence said. "It'll help local schools, sports clubs and community groups to fundraise, and help to reduce litter and increase recycling." Opposition leader Michael O'Brien states, "Victorians have been calling for a cash for containers scheme for years. The Liberals have listened and an O'Brien-led Liberal government will deliver."

YREC back on top By Jed Lanyon In 2017, Yarra Ranges Enterprise Centre was saved from demise and is now thriving once again in supporting the small businesses of the Yarra Valley. YREC's future came under threat with the proposed government sell-off of the land it had occupied for 17 years. At the time the enterprise centre lost many of its occupants who held concerns about the long-term future of the organisation. "The state government rang in July 2016 and said 'we're selling this asset', being the property," YREC Executive Officer Alison Fitzgerald said. "We were maintaining it the best we could with the funds we had ... There was a period of 18 months where we did everything we could to try and let them know what this place was doing for the community." After months of uncertainty, the Minister for Planning called to open a dialogue around YREC purchasing the premises and a year later the sale went through. "Now we consider it our asset. We could finally do things like plan for the future," Ms Fitzgerald said. Executive officer and CEO Alison Fitzgerald said YREC is in great shape today, offering a competitive advantage and a professional environment as opposed to running a small business from home. "We got up to 96 per cent occupancy a couple months ago. It just so happens that there are a couple people looking to move out now." Those businesses moving on have outgrown the enterprise centre and are now prospering across the Yarra Ranges. Ms Fitzgerald said the organisation began as a 'business incubator' due to high rates of unemployment in the area and the recent closure of Warburton's Sanitarium factory.

"I had a corporate background and I could see the potential in how this should be working ... It needed a lot of work, it was quite run down and there weren't many tenants here.

Valley gets Vicious By Nick Creely Some of the great football and netball characters of the Yarra Valley and south east are set to once again come together for a wonderful cause with the Valley Vicious Rett Awareness Cup back for another year and set to be even more entertaining. On a night dedicated to banding together as a community with the purpose of fighting and raising funds for the devastating disease that is Rett Syndrome, Lee Lawrence is once again hoping for crowds to make their way out and support the cause, which will be held on

Saturday 29 February at Healesville Sporting Complex. "Last year we ended up raising around $20,000, and this year we're aiming higher, about $50,000, and that is achievable," Lee said. "Off the jump we've raised around $18,000, and I think we'll do it, but we'll see how we go. "We're just praying on good weather." Lee runs the popular Facebook page 'Valley Vicious Footy and Netball Banter', which he started when his daughter, Gypsy was diagnosed with Rett - a genetic brain disorder found almost exclusively in females and with a prevalence of one in about 15,000 females - all
with the aim of raising awareness and raising funds to find a cure. Infants and children with the disorder cease to acquire new skills and gradually lose previously acquired abilities, such as control of the hands and the ability to vocalize most sounds and words. Lee said while the disease is cruel and debilitating, Gypsy has never dropped her spirit and continues to smile no matter the circumstances. "She's been going really well - we do have to help her quite a lot with her eating now, but that's really the only noticeable thing of late," he said. "She's just always happy, and she's started school this year which is awesome. "So she's doing three days up at Kinglake and two days down at Mount Evelyn Special School. It knocks her around a little, but she's going really, really well." Lee said that Rett Syndrome Australia are doing everything they can to cure the disorder, and are confident that it will one day become a reality. "From what we here, they're very positive, they do believe that it'll be one of the brain disorders that'll be cured," he said. "They're grateful of what we give them, and they've assured me they will find a cure one day." The Facebook page has since attracted a cult following in the Valley, and next Saturday's event is set to be a monster day of sport, with a large crowd set to be treated to some excellent football and netball action. With the gates opening at 12pm, the All-Star netball clash will kick off at 2pm, before the Valley Vicious ladies games featuring all-stars from around the Valley against the Healesville ladies premiership team bounces the ball at 2.30pm. During half-time of the ladies game, there will be an Auskick game on the oval, as well as a range of activities for kids and adults across the game. The night's main event, the Valley Vicious All Stars versus the Valley Vicious Vets All Stars, will close out the day, with a range of speakers, including a band post-game, set to entertain the crowd. There will be a 'Big Splash to Beat Rett' as well as a Valley Vicious Electrics Super Booth competition that is sure to also keep fans engaged on the day. Lee said the introduction of the ladies game this season - as well as the football and netball matches was simply something that had to be done this time around. "Adding the girls' game is pretty much a nobrainer," he said. "Girls footy has kicked off massively, and adding the girls have been fantastic. "We've got all these group chats with all the teams and the energy the girls show and the way they promote has been fantastic." The day will cost $10 for entry, with kids under 16 getting in for free. For more info, search @valleyvicious on Facebook.
A bracelet has been handed in to Lilydale police station on 12 February. It is described as being similar to the brand Pandora and was located near a drinking fountain by the public toilets in main street Lilydale. Enquiries can be made with the property officer at Lilydale Police on 9739 2386.
Mooroolbark crash A woman was airlifted to hospital following a crash on Hull Road, Mooroolbark on Friday 21 February. Paramedics were called to the scene just before 6pm where the woman was trapped in the vehicle for some time. She was then flown by air ambulance helicopter to the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Stolen puppy Police are appealing for public assistance to locate a puppy that was allegedly stolen in Mooroolbark in January. It is alleged two men attended a Mooroolbark address on Monday 27 January to view two rottweiler puppies advertised for sale online. Once the men had possession of the puppies they ran from the address, dropping one of the puppies and fleeing the scene in a stolen car. Police have charged a 19-year-old Burnside Heights man with theft and he has been bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 17 June. Investigators have not located the stolen puppy and have released an image of the puppy in the hope someone knows of his whereabouts. Anyone who has information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www. crimestoppervic.com.au.
Drive safely Warburton police is urging drivers to be aware and alert after emergency services responded to a single vehicle accident along Woods Point Road on 16 February. Warburton sergeant Tom Wilkinson told the Mail that the driver had a learners permit. “It appears to be a judgment issue where they have ended up off the road ... We urge residents to drive within the scope of their capabilities.” The driver sustained minor injuries after the car rolled down an embankment, while the passenger sustained spinal injuries and was airlifted to hospital. “We need to be vigilant in respect to our driving, especially when we’re driving out in the bush.” The incident is being investigated to determine the cause. mailcommunity.com.au

Innovation leader By Taylah Eastwell Yarra Hills Secondary College is a multi-campus State Secondary School serving the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The college has a Year 7 to 10 Mt Evelyn Campus, as well as a Mooroolbark Campus, with the Mooroolbark Campus housing a Year 7 to 10 ’Junior School’ and a Year 11 and 12 ’Senior School’ on the same site. Current enrolment is roughly 875 students and has been rising steadily in recent years, with another large intake in 2020 of Year 7 students, as well as many new enrolments across all other year levels. College Principal Darren Trippett has overseen this growth since joining the school in 2012. While the school has been seen as a transformational school, it now leads the Outer East in many innovative and engaging initiatives. “One of the things I noticed most when I first arrived at Yarra Hills was the lack of knowledge in the local community of the excellent programs we had in place,“ he said. “We were recently part of a select group of schools across Victoria to participate in the Melbourne University U.M.N.O.S. program, involving internationally acclaimed Professor John Hattie. We again partner this year with Melbourne University in an exciting differentiation project,” Mr Trippett said. “We have also been acknowledged nationally for implementing our school-wide ’restorative practices’ model which helps students establish and maintain effective relationships and behaviour, and our Intercultural Awareness program was featured last year nationwide on SBS’s Insight program. “Since 2017 we have been a lead school for Respectful Relationships across the outer east,
Yarra Hills Secondary College are now offering tours of their Mount Evelyn and Mooroolbark campuses. assisting local primary schools with a variety of anti-bullying programs. Students of Yarra Hills also achieve successes in the school’s co-curricular programs in instrumental music, performing arts, visual arts - including the Yarra Hills Community Art Show -as well as sports and outdoor recreation.
A culture built on respect Healesville Primary School is focused on establishing a school and community culture that is built upon respect in 2020, with respect being one of the schools four core values. With a heavy investment into the development of teaching and learning planned for 2020, Healesville Primary School will continue to undertake extensive training in Departmental Initiatives of School Wide Positive Behaviours and Respectful Relationships (SWPBS). SWPBS is a framework that brings together school communities to develop positive, safe and supportive learning cultures. It assists schools to improve social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes for children and young people, giving teachers and students more time to focus on relationships and classroom instruction. Respectful Relationships is an initiative to support schools promote and model respect and equality. It also supports educators to teach our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence. At Healesville Primary, our staff are excited to lead the school in such a positive and important direction.
At Years 11 and 12, Yarra Hills proudly offers students the choice of a comprehensive VCE, VET or VCAL (school-based apprenticeship) program, enabling all students to be able to choose their own preferred pathway and develop their strengths and passions. Tours of both campuses are now available and can be booked through the general offices.

Healesville high achievers Healesville High School principal Allan Rennick and his staff, students at the school and their parents were absolutely delighted by the outstanding results achieved by the graduating class of 2019. Healesville is one of only two schools in the entire north eastern region of Victoria to have recorded an improved median study score in each of the past two years. According to Healesville High School, the excellent scores achieved by the students indicated consistency and excellence across the VCE group can be attributed to a collective focus on student learning outcomes throughout the school and their whole-school focus on literacy. The school’s commitment to offering a wide range of VCE subject choices, small class sizes and emphasis upon identifying each student’s individual learning needs are also said to have contributed to the high academic results attained by students. The mean English study score for the Healesville group last year was 29.91, placing the student’s results significantly above the state mean for English which is consistently around 28 across the state from year to year. In a statement released by the school, Healesville High School said that students deserve high praise for their approach to school and study and teachers and staff should feel incredibly proud of their own efforts and those of their students. Families were also congratulated for their support and guidance. The school is intent on celebrating their successes of last year and is committed to improving this level of achievement even further. Principal Mr Rennick and his staff are also bursting with pride over the achievements, efforts and attitudes of a group of 14 students and three staff members who spent 31 days at the end of last year trekking through India
Healesville High School students Keely Farrow, Isabella Susigan and Jessica Forbes. 202595 completing voluntary work. The group endured through difficult times, working together and supporting each other while demonstrating resilience, determination, persistence, compassion and care. An example of this compassion and care came when the tour returned to Australia mi-
nus one staff member who had to remain in India for an extra week due to requiring essential eye surgery. That staff member finally arrived in Australia in late December last year to find almost the entire touring party had returned to the airport and were waiting to greet him. Principal of Healesville High School Allan
Rennick said he was incredibly proud of the students for their approach to the entire trip. “It was quite moving to see so many students and their parents at the airport, showing how much they cared for, and appreciated our staff member. What a wonderfully close and caring community we have,” he said.

Purpose behind the lens Warburton photographer Lou Whelan is showcasing her first solo photography exhibition, The Impeded Stream, at the Waterwheel Gallery. The Impeded Stream opened on Saturday 15 February and Ms Whelan said she was nervous but excited to have her work on display and for the attention it would receive. "It was lovely. I was blown away by the response when it opened. I'm not that comfortable on the other end of the lens. I'm used to covering the stories of other people and being quite comfortable doing so." In 2017 Ms Whelan turned her previous passion for photography into a career when she decided to step aside from her job as a nurse. She described the journey from that point to now as one that makes her feel happy, relieved and a "little bit proud." "It came to a point where I had to give it away. And I thought what do I do with myself now?" The self-taught photographer shared the ti-
tle of the exhibition originates from an American poet, Wendell Berry, who questioned, 'what do you do when you've lost your purpose in life?'" "In the last couple years and in my life there have been impediments and obstructions in particular to my health and how I've navigated it ... In exploring an artistic career all of this has sort of become my materials and it influences my style." Ms Whelan said she was introduced to photography at a young age by her father who had created a makeshift dark room at their home. "That's where I really cut my teeth as a photographer. But you get told to go out and get a real job." She said her spark for photography was reignited when visiting Kate Baker's open studio, taking in the smells of the dark room chemicals. The Impeded Stream will be running until 3 March. For more information about Lou Whelan's work, visit www.therealwork.com. au.

Film takes journey Into The Jungle Into The Jungle is a unique and inspiring film about two Yarra Valley locals who headed into the depths of Papua New Guinea to save a rare and endangered species of tree kangaroo. Featuring guest appearances from Sir David Attenborough, Dr Jane Goodall and Professor Tim Flanagan, the film is a rich and remarkable story. Jim and Jean left the Yarra Valley in 2000 to pursue, what was at that point, simply a strong need to do something to save a species whose numbers were plummeting rapidly. The remote terrain, cultural barriers and lack of funding were just the start of the obstacles they had to overcome. Peter Hannaford and the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association (JESWA) gave an initial donation to Jean and Jim to help them get started in Papua New Guinea. It proved to be one of the best ways for the organisation to help. The relationship continues as Together For Wildlife, (the online continuation of JESWA) now support Jim and Jean's Tenkile Conservation Alliance, so it is fitting that they are celebrating their first birthday online by screening Into The Jungle in Healesville's Memo Hall on Sunday 1 March. The event will include a Welcome To Country performed by Shane Charles, speeches by Healesville Sanctuary director Ross Williamson and Peter Hannaford. Add in some local wine from Mac Forbes and chocolate from Loving Earth and you have everything you need for a magical Sunday afternoon in the valley. The event starts at 1.30pm, with the film at 2.45pm. For more information about Together For Wildlife, visit https://www.togetherforwildlife. org.au/.
Giant dogs big picnic Get together for a gigantic day of fun as the Giant Dogs Picnic Fun Day returns to Lillydale Lake on Sunday 19 April. This year will mark the sixth annual picnic day the, with many different giant dog breeds and their owners coming along to join in the fun and socialise with other giant dog owners. Last year the event attracted about 60 of the biggest doggos in the area as well as over 100 owners. "The aim of our day is to bring like minded giant dog owners together in a social setting and for members of the public to see and interact with giant dog breeds, demonstrating that large doesn't necessarily mean scary," Deb Clack of Newfoundland Club of Victoria said. The event will feature tips, demonstrations, classes as well as a CFA representative advising on the management of pets in high fire risk areas. The Giant Dogs Picnic Fun Day will take place from 10.30am to 2.30pm.

Midway a middling movie Directed by Roland Emmerich, Midway is a severely messy war film depicting a pivotal naval battle between US and Japanese forces during World War II. The performances are uniformly solid, the major characters are engaging and the period atmosphere is flawless. Midway is also a refreshingly mature war film, balancing the honour and camaraderie of war with the stress, fatigue and suffering. But after the taut, harrowing first act, which depicts the bombing of Pearl Harbour, the quality plummets rapidly. The second act drags its feet through dry intelligence gathering and social functions, even as it skips across months at a time. Toward the climax, certain characters even remailcommunity.com.au
turn to base off-screen, undercutting the urgency of their ordeal. The third act squanders its drama, introducing plot-points that hold little to no consequence within the plot, such as the damaged Yorktown aircraft carrier and reckless pilot Dick Best's (Ed Skrein) lung damage. The climactic battle has plenty of thrilling moments, but the overall sequence has subpar CGI and lacks tension due to its confusing layout and the often absurd resilience of the fighter pilot heroes (which is a cliche known as "plot armour"). Like Danger Close from last year, Midway is a well-acted, exciting war movie with a sloppy, erratic screenplay. - Seth Lukas Hynes

SPORT
Four centuries in a week By Anthony Sequeira Runs flowed in the Yarra Valley this week with four individuals striking centuries as Mick Walker, Clint, Sharman, Jake Neale and under 14's Cody Anderson all dining out on opposition bowling attacks. In the Strachan Shield Yarra Junction toppled Wandin to narrowly take top spot, with Yarra Junction's disciplined bowling attack hunting as a pack to take Wandin's wickets. Nick Lawlor and Kevin Bomford combined to take 4/4 to reduce Wandin to 5/31 early. As Bomford continued his spell he collected two more wickets to take the score to 7/57 and had Wandin absolutely reeling and seemingly with no answers. Number 9 Luke Chandler struck four big sixes to add some substance to the score as he attacked Rhys Matthews. Matthews eventually had him as Chandler was the last man out, leaving Yarra Junction chasing just 96. Wandin got off to the perfect start defending such a small total as Stuart Thompson removed Marcel Kocher and the dangerous Andrew Cowan to leave the eagles 2/9. On the third wicket, Nick Bark would not fall until the score read 73. Wandin bowled with discipline to hold Yarra Junction for 32 overs but in the end a lack of runs meant Wandin never had much to play with. One decent partnership is all it took for the Eagles to claim the game and take top spot with just one round left. Gruyere were chasing Healesville's overnight score of 212 but were in trouble early as Healesville's opening bowlers Jordan Poynton and Michael Jackson took two wickets each,
reducing the scorpions to 4/29. Mitch Hodgetts then took command of Gruyere's innings as he absorbed the pressure from the Healesville bowlers and tried to get the innings back on track despite resistance from Ron Morrison, Colin Pendry and Rowan Prouse. In the end the top order failures meant there was too much work to be done by the middle order, with Glen Poynton being joined by Jordan Poynton in removing the last four wickets for just 12 runs as Gruyere were wrapped up for 142. In raft blue Yarra Junction confidently chased Wandin's 123 from last week. After a couple of early wickets to the Wandin opener, Beau Hawkins came to the crease and dominantly hit the Bulldogs to all parts of the ground, hitting 75 of the 95 runs scored. When Hawkins departed it was a simple task for the Eagles middle order to chip off the last few runs required to record a win. Continuing from their precarious position from last week, Healesville went from 6/64 to all out for 73 as Daniel Vaux collected three wickets to set a very achievable chase for the Crocs. Steady wickets fell throughout the Coldstream chase and no batsman managed to set themselves for a decent innings. However, Coldstream still eased themselves five wickets down as they passed the Blood's score. Late wickets meant Coldstream were bundled out for 114, with Allan Pearce taking three wickets. In raft gold Yarra Valley stalwart Mick Walker pulled off a stunning century to drag War-
burton to a win against Woori Yallock. Warburton were struggling early as Woori Yallock held their catches to get the score to 4/26. From there, Walker had small partnerships with several batsmen through the middle order with no one really stamping their authority on the game as Woori Yallock continued to turn the screws with tight bowling. When the eighth wicket fell in the 35 over, Warburton were only 125. Walker showed his experience as he pummelled Tigers bowler's to put on a 65 run partnership where Tarkyn Nicolandos hit just one run. Walker took 16 off the final over of the innings to finish unbeaten on 100 not out. In reply Woori set themselves a solid foundation to chase the target with Mick Dwyer and Kieran Cantwell putting on 90 to leave the Tigers needing 70 in the last 12 overs. Tight bowling from the Burra's forced the Woori batsmen into mistakes. As the wickets fell the only thing keeping the Tigers in the game were the 33 wides from the Warburton bowlers. In the end the man of the moment Walker took the final two wickets in an over to leave Woori seven runs short. Marysville batted first against Launching Place with Travis Gleeson holding the top order together as he fell just short of a half century. The Launching Place bowlers kept the pressure on without truly penetrating the Marysville batting order, until Clint Sharman came on to take three wickets in quick succession. Rhys Hodgins and Chris Ronalds added substance to the score through the middle or-
der as they put on 70. Jordan Birnie cleaned up the tail with three wickets in an over to leave Launch chasing 168. Launch started well with the first wicket falling for 35 and the second at 81, with opener Clint Sharman still at the crease. Marysville bowled well in patches without putting any significant pressure on Launch to lift their scoring rate. After drinks Dave Falconer partnered Sharman and the pair polished off the last 60 runs required in seven overs, with Sharman bringing up his second century of the season as he finished unbeaten on 104. In One Day Grade the highlight was Powelltown's crushing win over Launching Place 2's. Batting first, the entire batting order contributed as they got to 9/162 in 35 overs. Captain Jake Neale returned to the crease after retiring on 50. Neale proceeded to crunch 63 runs from the next five overs to be the first batsman this season to hit a century in the One Day Grade. Neale finished 113 not out and Powelltown had set the daunting total of 229. Launching Place was in disarray as Powelltown tore through their batting order to bowl them out for 32 and record a 197 run win. In other games in One Day Grade Launching Place 3 had Adam Johnson hit 50 as they lost to Coldstream. P. Harris hit 53. Hoddles Creek bowled out Yarra Junction for 79 and chased that six wickets down, while Healesville were beaten by Hoddles Creek 2's who chased down 86.
Competitors near and far up and running Bowlers defy odds leading to finals fight Competitive runners, weekend joggers and social walkers all took their place at the starting line of the Warburton Up and Running event on Sunday 23 February. The event attracted runners from all over Melbourne as well as numbers from across Yarra Ranges with opportunities for all levels of ability to take part in the Kid's Dash, five kilometre walk/run, ten kilometre run and the half marathon. Participants ran alongside the clear waters of the Upper Yarra River as well as among towering Mountain Ash forest. Warburton Up and Running raises fund to be split between local CFA brigades as well as SES. Up and Running MC, Ron Hottes, said that the event had nearly 1000 entries prior to the big race day. "Many of these participants are weekend joggers, but sprinkled among them are serious amateur and semi-professional runners, using this event as a warm-up to more serious outings later this year."

Disappointing week for Burra’s battlers By Garry Lewis A very disappointing week for the Burras with only the Tuesday Midweek side getting up. The Warburton 1 Tuesday Midweek side maintained top position with a solid victory over their friends from Upwey Tecoma 1 at home. Fortunately, the threatening weather dodged them until the match finished, 68 to 39. Rink scores were G. Walsh 25/ 7; S. Lord 22/ 13 and R. McKail 21/ 19. They play Vermont South 2 away this week. The Warburton 1 Weekend team played Mulgrave 1 away in superb bowling conditions but struggled overall, going down 88 to 59. Rink scores were P. Woods 16/ 28; B. Woods 15/ 19; J. Brookes 14/ 17 and J. Van Der Zweep 14/ 24. 22 MAIL

They play Armadale 1 at home this week. Warburton 2 played a very strong Heathmont 5 side at home and went down 104 to 64. Rink scores were P. Summers 23/ 16; G. Wynd 10/ 44; S. Freestone 13/ 23 and C. Lord 18/ 21. They next play Cockatoo 1 at home. Warburton 3 six-a-side team played Glen Waverley 5 at home and went down 55 to 23. Rink scores were N. Caneva 14/ 31 and P. Lord 9/ 24. They play West Coburg 3 away this week. The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition was cancelled last week due to the threatening wet weather conditions. Greg Walsh & Shaun Lee assessing the situation in a recent game.
Life is good at Yarra Junction Bowling Club as finals approach. This week the Tuesday six-a-side team travelled to the suburbs to take on third placed Rosanna. Due to an unfortunate mix-up the Yarra Junction Eagles had to play one person short. However they managed to pull off a minor miracle by defeating Rosanna on their home green, with one rink winning by four shots and the other managing a hard fought draw with only two players. The fight for the last finals spot is heating up beautifully with Yarra Junction just nine points ahead of fifth placed Blackburn. The Yarra Junction Midweek 12-a-side team entertained a very polished, top of the table Blackburn side and despite fighting hard, suffered a twelve shot loss. This result means that the 12-a-side team will not play in finals this season. On Saturday, Yarra Junction hosted Eltham in what amounted to a top of the table clash, as third placed Eltham attempted to dislodge Yarra Junction from top spot. Unlike the last couple of weeks the conditions were perfect, the green was fast and the bowling of high standard. The match hung in the balance for much of the afternoon, until Yarra Junction ran out 23 shot winners, with a final score of 88-65. It is highly likely that the two teams will meet again in the finals in a few weeks. Thursday morning Social Bowls has been attracting a good turn out and is open to anyone interested in exploring the sport. Friday evening Barefoot Bowls is for fun with music, a bar, a sausage sizzle and good company. Contact the club for details. mailcommunity.com.au

Helping to close the gap By Jed Lanyon Closing the health gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians is a key priority for Eastern Health, whose annual family sports day will return to showcase some of the best Indigenous sporting talent in Melbourne's east. Eastern Health is putting the call out for more players, officials and support staff to get involved to help put together another great day for the seventh consecutive year. The Closing the Gap sports day will feature football and netball competitions as locals are invited to come along and cheer the teams on, enjoy Aboriginal dance, face painting, a petting zoo, running races, giveaways and much more. Eastern Health executive Shannon Wright said, "It's a wonderful opportunity for staff and the community to connect with respect, build relationships, and break down the barriers for those seeking healthcare in our community."
The annual Closing the Gap Family Sports Day will return for a seventh year. Following last year's event, Eastern Health's Aboriginal hospital liaison officer, Jo Voce told the Mail, "Our sports day is part of our broader commitment to closing the health gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-indigenous Australians,"
"Many people in our community find hospitals and health services daunting. Their fear can be a barrier to seeking healthcare," Ms Voce said. "Days like this show the community that doctors, nurses and other health profession-
als are real people. They are not scary, and they have a range of ways they can help improve your health in a really safe, welcoming environment." Eastern Health has a range of initiatives in place to help close the health gap, and have been working towards improving health outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community for a number of years. "We are very excited to be hosting this event for the seventh time which is shaping up to be a great day for everyone. It's a wonderful opportunity for staff and the community to connect with respect, build relationships, and break down the barriers for those seeking healthcare in our community". - Shannon Wight, Eastern Health Executive The closing the Gap Family Sports Day will take place on Sunday 1 March at Healesville's Don Road Sporting Complex from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

Weather woes, twilight title and remembering Ralph By Ron Hottes The Warburton Golf Club had to cancel their competition on Wednesday 19 February due to inclement weather condition and unplayable greens. With 24 hours making the world of difference, the twilight round went ahead with much kinder weather conditions at play. A good sized field of 30-odd took to the much improved course full of confidence. Andy Sweet's confidence was "sky-high" after posting a score of 24 impressive points. With only a handful of Thursdays left until the famous Shootout, that score leaves Andy in
good shape to be part of the lucky 10 survivors who will contest for the coveted Twilight title. The unlucky runner up was Jaqui Hall, who amassed 23 points - a total that would normally win on the night. As usual, balls descended to 18 but on a comeback there were 9 scores of 18 in the competition. Nearest the pin winners were Ossie McClay (3rd) Jason Kennedy (9th) and Steve-Wyatt for an excellent second shot on the sixth hole. The Ralph Logan Inaugural Trophy was played on Saturday 22 February in memory of Ralph, a popular long serving member of the club who was taken "way too soon" about a year ago.
Club members played with Ralph regularly and are thrilled that this day has been created in his name. Ralph's wife De sponsored the day, providing a lovely trophy and paying for the daily ball rundown. Ralph had won a Bisque-Par event years ago, winning the day with a stunning score of +10. With four shots left to use if needed, Ralph ended up using only one for his tenth win. It was therefore appropriate that the field played this unique competition to remember him by. The winner of the Ralph Logan trophy on the day was Kevin Kane, not with a +10 but with a none-to-shabby +6.

The Heritage Family
Kevin's win was very appropriate - being the long-serving member he is - he knew and played with Ralph over many years. A-Grade went to Lance "Gator" Atwell with a +4. The runner up was David Scott, with a +5. Everyone scored a ball, courtesy of Ralph's wife, De. Nearest the pin's went to A.J. (3rd), Shane Campbell ( 5th), Andy McMath (9th), SteveWyatt (12th) & to Clint Toohey (15th). There were 2 eagles: Ken White snared one on the 11th, and Allan "Old-Man-River" Hubbard scored one on the 13th. Well done, Gents!
