Going the distanceBy JESSE GRAHAM
LYMPHOEDEMA patients in the Yarra Ranges will have to travel to Ringwood East or beyond for treatment, after Eastern Health closed down all related services last month.
Eastern Health ceased its services on Friday 12 February for lymphoedema, a condition where parts of the body swell up, which were offered at Yarra Ranges Health in Lilydale, Angliss Hospi-tal and Box Hill Hospital.
A letter to patients, passed on anonymously to the Mail, dated 1 February, said that the or-ganisation had “a responsibility to live within our means” and would be ceasing its services less than two weeks later.
The letter also listed other providers of treat-ment for the condition, such as Eastern Access Community Health (EACH) in Ringwood East, Mercy Hospital in Heidelberg or Moorabbin’s Monash Health.
Coldstream’s Judy Sturt, a member of cancer support group Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink (YV-LiP), is living with lymphoedema in her arm, and wears a compression sleeve to reduce swelling.
Ms Sturt, who had received treatment from Eastern Health, said the closure of services made treatment less acceptable for those living in the Yarra Valley, particularly those who were unable to transport themselves.
“Now they’re telling us, now they’re closing down, that we have to go to Monash,” she said.
“Can you imagine people going from Warbur-ton to Monash for a massage?
“It’s going to make a huge impact.”
Lymphoedema can cause swelling in any part of the body, but often affects arms and legs, and people who have undergone surgery and radio-therapy for cancer are susceptible to developing it.
It occurs when the lymphatic system is dam-aged, and fluid and proteins can build up and cause swelling - which also carries a risk of in-fection.
The Eastern Health lymphoedema services were announced in May 2010 by the Victorian Government, who said at the time that the organi-sation “responded to the need” for the service, by establishing clinics in Ferntree Gully, Box Hill and Lilydale.
Chief nursing officer David Plunkett said at the time that having the services meant “patients are able to visit a local service, avoiding the need to travel further and incur related out-of-pocket expenses”.
Treatment includes physical therapy, com-
pression bandages, exercises, medication, laser
therapy and massage, and those at high risk of
developing the condition can receive preventative
care.
Ms Sturt said that living with lymphoedema
was difficult in summer, because she had to keep
her body temperature low, and that the treatment
massages helped reduce the symptoms, such as
heavy feelings under her arm.
“The lymphoedema massages are a specific
way of doing massage, because of the lymphatic
drainage,” she said.
Ms Sturt said YVLiP would be writing to East-ern Health CEO Alan Lilly about the closure of the service, and that the organisation would like to offer the service in the future, if it sets up a headquarters.
The Mail contacted Eastern Health about the
announcement, and Chief of Clinical and Site
Operations in Yarra Ranges, Lisa Lynch, con-
firmed that the service was finished “following a
comprehensive review”.
Quoting the 1 February letter verbatim, Ms
Lynch said the organisation had to ensure Eastern Health’s “level of care is sustainable now and in the future”.
“This means Eastern Health may make chang-es to services depending on demand,” she said.
She said that public and private organisations were “already” providing lymphoedema services, and that a Transitional Lymphoedema Case Man-ager had been appointed, one a day week from 12 February to 18 March.
Ms Lynch said the case manager was inform-ing patients of other services in the region and “providing linkages to an appropriate service”.
Judy Sturt lives with lymphoedema, services for which have just been cut from Eastern Health providers. 150755 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

Every dog had its dayBy KATH GANNAWAY
IF THERE was a really difficult category for the judges in the inauguaral Rotary Club of Heales-ville Dog’s Day Out on Sunday, it had to be ‘Best Smile’ ... followed closely by ‘Waggiest Tail’.
It seemed every dog just knew it was their day ... and you couldn’t wipe the smiles from their faces - or their owners.
Two rings ran throughout the day at the Don Road Sporting Complex, along with feature events including Flyball and dog handling skills by the Healesville and District Dog Club and the Grand Parade, led by Leonberger, Phoenix.
Rotary president Lesley Plumpton said the day was a great success and a really happy day.
One of the aims of the day was to allow the many people in and around Healesville who own dogs to show they are proud owners of man’s best friend.
They were all there; companion dogs, guard-ians, work-mates, pets, guides and the entertain-ers. Many of them were rescue dogs.
“Whatever role they fill in our lives, this is a day we recognise the part they play as our friends,” Ms Plumpton said.
The 18-event schedule ensured there was a place for everyone (and his/her dog), starting with Best Junior Handler and including fun events such as Gentle Giant, Best Golden Oldie, Shini-est Coat, Prettiest Pooch, Longest Ears ... etc!
Winner of the Best Rescue Dog, Lyn Mullens from Dixons Creek was thrilled with Ruby’s win.
Lyn was burnt out on Black Saturday and Ruby is very much part of her life.
“It is really quite an emotional thing,” she said. “She was quite traumatised when I got her, and very thin.
“I think she has rescued me as much as I have rescued her,” she added.
It was just one of many stories people shared about the roles dogs play in their lives.
Ms Plumpton said a 2017 Dog’s Day Out is a certainty.
The Flyball was frantic, flying fun. 151211

Wonder machine set for poolBy KATH GANNAWAY
THERE’S good evidence to say that the best outcome for victims of a sudden cardiac arrest is to have their attack close to a defibrillator.
In the case of former Healesville Swimming Club member, Andrew Moore, having an attack in November at the Croydon Outdoor Pool proved a lucky break.
He was swimming when he had a cardiac arrest. The fourth attempt with the pool’s defibrillator got his heart go-ing again.
It also spurred Ross Ilsley, manager of the Jack Hort Memorial Indoor Pool where Andrew, now 38, was a regular swimmer, to start a serious push for a defibrillator for the pool.
He said the response was overwhelm-ing.
“It was something that we had want-ed to get for some time, but never had the money,” he said.
“We know that early defibrillation in-creases the chances of survival and ide-ally most public places would have one.
“As well as a lot of young people, we have a lot of older people who use our pool, so that was the logic behind getting serious about getting one here.”
Mr Ilsley said he wrote a couple of letters and spoke to a couple of people and the fund-raising just took off.
Within just a couple of weeks with a number of private donations from pool users and through the Gentle Exercise Group, Healesville High School, The Rotary Club of Healesville and Heales-
ville Community Bank Branch of Ben-digo Bank, $3700 was raised.
The pool now has the defibrillator, paediatric pads and a training defibrilla-tor to ensure that all staff know how to use it.
A special cabinet will ensure it is in a prominent and protected place to en-sure that if it is needed, no time will be wasted.
Mr Moore, a husband and father, said it was fantastic to hear that people had been so willing to give.
He swims a couple of times a week and his cardiac arrest came out of the blue.
“Having the defibrillator there made such a difference to my life,” Mr Moore said.
“The more pools or public areas that have them, the better.”
Mr Ilsley said he was extremely grateful to everyone who donated so generously to get such a vital piece of equipment.

Speedster nabbed A LAUNCHING Place man is fac-ing court and a heavy fine after be-ing caught travelling at more than 60km/h over the speed limit last week in Yering.
At 9.10pm on Thursday 3 March, Yarra Glen police intercepted a 22-year-old Launching Place man, who was driving along the Melba Highway in Yering at 132km/h.
The posted speed limit is 70km/h, and when police spoke to the driver, it came to light that the driver was unlicensed.
Yarra Glen Police Sergeant, Richard Coulson, said the driver told police he wasn’t unlicensed - his licence had only expired a month before.
“He had a whole lot of attitude,” Sgt Coulson said.
The man’s car was impounded for 30 days under hoon laws, and will cost $997 to be retrieved.
He will be summonsed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Drug bust out of blueHEALESVILLE police officers made an unexpected drug bust over the weekend, spotting six marijuana plants while executing an unrelated warrant on Sunday night.
Leading Senior Constable Chris Hickey told the Mail that, about 9.30pm on Sunday 6 March, police attended a property at Wallace Pa-rade in Healesville with the Family Violence unit.
He said that police were there for a warrant for an intervention order, but found six marijuana plants in the back yard while there.
After getting permission from the property owner, the plants were confiscated, and a 32-year-old Healesville woman was charged as a result.
Leading Swen Const Hickey said the woman was expected to front court later in the year.
Cash stacked in bookYARRA Glen police officers are trying to track down the owner of a book, donated to an op shop with an envelope full of money left in the back.
Sergeant Richard Coulson told the Mail that on 5 January a resident came in to hand in an envelope full of cash, which was in the back of a book purchased from an op shop.
He said that police had contacted the shop, but had been unable to lo-cate the book’s previous owner.
The money was in a “distinctive-ly marked” envelope, and Sgt Coul-son said the owner would be able to identify the exact amount of cash, and the markings on the envelope.
Anyone thinking they may have misplaced a wad of cash can contact Yarra Glen police on 9730 1296.
Truck hits boom gatesPOLICE are looking for a teenage
boy and a woman who may have witnessed a logging truck driving through Lilydale’s boom gates last week.
On Thursday 3 March, about 3.40pm, the truck is believed to have hit the gates at the Maroondah Highway level crossing, and contin-ued driving through.
Victoria Police issued a release on Sunday 6 March, saying the driv-er of the truck had been identified, but that police were asking for wit-nesses to come forward.
A teenage boy and a female pe-destrian are believed to have been in the vicinity of the incident.
Anyone who saw the crash, or who has any information, is asked to call Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol on 9734 2402.
Aggravated burglary
charges laidA HEALESVILLE man will front court in August after being arrested last week in regards to an aggravat-ed burglary last month.
Yarra Ranges Crime Investiga-tion Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Melanie Woods, said that at 9am on Friday 4 March, police execut-ed a warrant in Currawong Road, Healesville.
A 40-year-old Healesville man was arrested and charged in regards to an aggravated burglary that oc-curred in Thomas Road, Heales-ville, on 16 February.
The man will appear at Ring-wood Magistrates’ Court on 22 Au-gust.
Keep rego plates
safe pleaPOLICE officers are warning car owners to keep their registration plates safe, with thefts increasing around the Yarra Ranges.
Yarra Ranges Crime Investiga-tion Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Melanie Woods said registration plate thefts were “creeping up” in the area, and police were asking owners to secure their plates.
Det Sgt Woods said that po-lice stations, such as Lilydale, had one-way, anti-theft, number plate screws.
School gym break-inPOLICE are appealing for witnesses to a burglary at the Wandin Yallock Primary School late last month, and asking for anyone with information to come forward.
Between 4pm on Friday 26 Feb-ruary and 7.30pm on Sunday 28 February, unknown people forced their way into the school gymna-sium on Beenak Road in Wandin North.
Yarra Ranges Crime Investiga-tion Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Melanie Woods said the burglars en-tered the canteen, where they stole food items and caused damage to the school.
Briefly
Roll play is onBy JESSE GRAHAM
PRIMARY school students in the Yarra Valley will be able to learn bike skills before hitting the road, with a new track in Healesville opened last week.
On Friday 4 March, a new curcuit, Roll Play, was opened in Healesville’s Queens Park by the Yarra Ranges Coun-cil and community members, some of whom brought their bikes out to have a ride.
The path criss-crosses the grassy area near the Queens Park Kindergarten and the Healesville Tennis Club, featuring intersecting paths, safety signs and a roundabout for children to use.
Ryrie ward councillor Fiona McAl-lister met with the Mail ahead of the opening, and said that VicRoads Motor-cycle Advisory Group member Heather Ellis helped make the track a reality.
Ms Ellis, who took her children, Ash-ton, Morgan and Ethan, for a ride on the new track, said there previously had been no “practical initiatives” for teach-ing road rules and safety to children.
“So I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we had traffic training tracks, like I rode on
when I was a child?’,” she said.
After launching a petition, which gained more than 300 signatures, the council took up and funded the proposal.
By the time of the launch, the path boasted humps, winding areas and inter-secting paths, with signs reading “give
way”, a barbecue and open spaces for families to sit.
At the event, councillor Jim Child gave the track a try personally, along with plenty of kids.
Cr McAllister said the track would help primary school-aged children learn

Delivering on election pledges
I WAS excited to visit numerous sport-ing clubs across the Casey electorate over the past few weeks to announce important funding as part of the Turn-bull Government’s Stronger Commu-nities Program.
This program provides funding for small-scale local infrastructure proj-
ects, ranging from $5000 to $20,000, which are matched at least dollar for dollar.
Following consultation with my committee of local representatives, projects that encouraged female and youth participation in sport were suc-cessfully recommended as priorities.
As a result, netball courts in Pow-elltown, Yarra Junction, Woori Yallock, Seville, Monbulk and Montrose will undergo court resurfacing or receive new shelters, while the Yarra Glen Tennis Club will have new Hot Shots courts for junior players.
Yarra Glen, Powelltown, Yarra Junction, Seville, and Monbulk will
each receive $18,000 of Federal Gov-ernment funding.
Woori Yallock will receive $20,000, and Montrose will receive $14,660.
Thanks to my committee - Brett Whelan, Toni Madden, Caroline Ev-ans, and Blake Hadlow - for their help in recommending these priority local projects.
Thanks also to Yarra Ranges Coun-cil, which will provide a matched con-tribution towards these projects.
Since my last update, it has been great to deliver on more of my election commitments, including another new school car park, two more Green Army projects and more CCTV cameras.
Woori Yallock Primary School stu-dents, parents, and teachers now have a new and safe $259,000 car park, which will be of benefit to the school and the wider Woori Yallock community.
This project completes my election pledge to deliver new car parks for Launching Place Primary School and Woori Yallock Primary School.
Last month, I joined both the Mon-bulk and Healesville Green Army teams for their graduations, following the completion of their works across Baynes Park Reserve and Frank Irvine Reserve in Monbulk, and Maroondah Reservoir Park in Healesville.
It was great to also launch the third
CCTV camera network that I pledged at the last election.
We officially switched on the cam-eras in Healesville in December, which were strongly welcomed by the local traders, residents and police.
These cameras are in addition to those that have already been launched in Lilydale and Yarra Junction.
Finally, I was also pleased to rec-ognise the hard work of our volunteers at the Casey Community Volunteer Awards late last year.
I look forward to working with you to make even more of a difference in our local community this year.

Lacuna in container lawBy JESSE GRAHAM
A YARRA Glen man has called on Yar-ra Ranges to simplify laws about ship-ping containers, after being forced to remove one of the two on his property.
Joe Balog contacted the Mail after a long back-and-forth between himself and council regarding two shipping containers and retaining walls on his Yarra Glen property.
He said the containers were sup-plied to him under the Adopt-a-Container program, which provided 12-month temporary storage via ship-ping containers, post-Black Saturday.
In June 2014, the council issued a Building Notice to Mr Balog, asking him to show why the containers should not be removed and the ground re-turned to its original state - a Building Order was then issued, with extensions made until May 2015.
By August 2015, one of the con-tainers had been removed, with a plan-ning permit application submitted for the other to be used as a shed.
But Mr Balog described the rules as “ridiculous”, due to the containers be-ing “removable objects”, and claimed that other councils had “no require-ments for building permits” for con-tainers.
Ryrie ward councillor, Fiona McAl-lister, said she empathised with Mr Balog and that the rules needed to be clearer about what was required of landowners using containers.
“It’s a solid structure, and his were provided to him post-bushfires for stor-age, so it’s been a really stressful and frustrating situation for him,” she said.
“I would really rather see that we just have some common-sense guide-lines about if you’re using them for storage.”
Yarra Ranges Council’s director of
Social and Economic Development Ali Wastie said that, after Black Saturday, land owners were able to have “tempo-rary storage buildings” under planning scheme exemptions, but that shipping containers were otherwise subject to “normal permit requirements”.
Ms Wastie said the matter would not be pursued through the court, and that Mr Balog’s consultant building surveyor was providing certification
for the remaining container.
The Mail contacted council's sur-rounding Yarra Ranges, and asked what requirements, if any, are needed to use shipping containers for storage.
Cardinia Shire Council’s acting De-velopment and Compliance manager, Owen Hardidge, said that building per-mits might be required if a container was being “used as, or resembles, a building”.
“The Relevant Building Surveyor (RBS) is required to classify the type of building the shipping containers most closely resembles, and then en-sure that the building design complies with the relevant provisions,” Mr Har-didge said.
A Murrindindi Shire Council spokesperson said residents required local law permits to use shipping con-tainers for storage, but that these per-
mits were temporary.
“In some instances, a planning per-
mit may be required,” the spokesper-
son said.

Message in the postIN 1999, hundreds of Healesville residents gathered to protest the Healesville Post Office’s move from its spot on Nicholson Street (Ma-roondah Highway), to the Heales-ville Walk Shopping Centre.
Holding signs reading “Heales-ville Post Office, the heart of Healesville for 122 years” and “Who wants accessible post box-es?”, the residents lobbied - unsuc-cessfully - against the move.
The result saw the post office moved to the walk, but the owners of the newsagency set up as an Aus-tralia Post agency to keep business in the main street.

A rubbish time I COULDN’T agree more with Ralph Henderson on moving the timing of hard rubbish to a non-tourist friendly period.
For the last 15 years I have operated small private winery tours around the Yarra Valley - I
was one of the original operators. Because I cater for small groups in a sedan I have close contact with my clients.
On every occasion the hard garbage is out, I have to explain and apologise to overseas tour-ists that these ugly piles of rubbish are not a reflection of an untidy local community. The re-action is usually one of relief and amusement.
While I support the service offered by coun-cil, I also consider that it could be managed bet-ter in the timing sense. By far my busiest tourist period is from December to May, when the Yarra Valley is at its prettiest. Old TVs, bikes and com-puters do not add a lot to our region. A more suitable time needs to be considered.
Geoff Cooper,Evergreen Winery Tours.

Lack of rain a painBy KATH GANNAWAY
RAIN, rain, stay away ... and it did, for most of summer.
In Healesville, Alma Mitch-ell’s rain gauge recorded 64.4mm over eight days in December compared with 58.1mm over 17 days in 2014, marking 2015 as the driest year since 1997.
January saw 90.6mm over 13 days compared with 31.5mm in 2015 over 6 days and February, was driest of all with 16.4mm over nine days compared with 59.4mm in 2015 over five days.
Doug Armstrong in Hoddles Creek recorded 59mm over 10 days in December compared with 88mm over 14 days in 2014, 109mm over 16 days in January compared with 59mm over 11 days in 2015 and for February, 27mm compared with 78 last year. The average long-term av-erage for February is 74mm.
Warburton rainfall recorder, Keith Thomas described Decem-ber’s figures as ‘abysmal’ and went a step further by saying that was a complete understatement.
He recorded 50.5mm against the December average of 109.7mm. The 2015 average was just 1035.5mm, far short of the average of 1341.7mm.
At that point, Melbourne’s water storages were at 69.5 per cent, and falling sharply.
January saw some good rainfall with 113mm against the monthly average of 78.7 and February was “a miserable 15mm” under 20 per cent of the average of 69.5mm.
The dams at the end of Febru-ary were down to 64.8 per cent of capacity.
Feat of the fleet feetBy JESSE GRAHAM
A TEACHER’S walk down the War-burton Trail to raise money for ovarian cancer research has raised more than $10,000, after masses of friends and residents came out in support.
At 6am on Sunday, 28 February, Sue Contarino set off from the Lilydale Train Station on an all-day walk down the Warburton Trail.
When she arrived to begin the 39-ki-lometre trek, Ms Contarino was met with about 80 friends and supporters, who joined in - some staying for stages of the walk, others following the entire way through.
“It was unbelievable,” she said.
“From the original five, estimated, family and maybe 10 friends, it just blew out to way beyond expectation.”
More walkers joined Ms Contarino on the walk, organised to raise money and awareness for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, at Mount Ev-elyn’s Cog Bike Cafe, which opened early for the event.
By the time the walk ended later that day, Ms Contarino said about 150 peo-ple had walked with her at some point.
She said the end of the day, as they came into Warburton, was an “emo-tional” experience, accompanied by her husband and daughter.
Healesville High School co-workers, Nic Skewes and Gayle Shelley, joined the walk, as well as Wonga Park Primary School principal, Julie Crawford, who raised $1000 for the campaign.
That donation alone doubled the original fund-raising goal of $500 - but with donations of $400 from the high school, $2500 from a pharmacy and nu-merous individual donations, the event raised about $11,500 for the foundation.
Ms Contarino said she would be meeting with the CEO of the foundation
this week, to personally hand over the cheques and donated money, and con-firmed another walk would take place in February next year.
She told the Mail that she was diag-nosed with stage three ovarian cancer in November 2013 - after six months of treatment, and eight months of good health, she experienced a reoccurrence in April 2015, and underwent another six months of treatment.
Though the disease is terminal, Ms Contarino said she’d almost passed the “critical phase” since the reoccurrence,
and that she wanted to help raise money for research in the hope that treatments and early screening tests may become more available for women.
She attributed her success in walking the trail to “prior preparation”, such as taping her feet and preparing snacks and drinks to keep her hydrated - as well as the camaraderie between the walkers.
“It was just fabulous - I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout,” she said.

Tears for
the landBy JESSE GRAHAM
A ONE-off performance of Corand-errk: We Will Show the Country, set on the former station’s land in Healesville, brought tears to the eyes of audience members - and the event’s organisers.
On Sunday, 21 February, almost 600 people gathered on the land of the former Aboriginal Station for the per-formance of Cordanerrk, organised by sisters Jacqui Wandin and Brooke Col-lins.
The play uses text verbatim from an 1881 parliamentary inquiry into Cor-anderrk, where its residents convinced the inquiry that they could manage the land without oversight.
The land was managed, success-fully, from 1863 to 1924, when laws forcing so-called “half-castes” to leave the land forced its closure.
Ms Collins told the Mail that the performance, which featured Jack Charles playing the role of Wurundjeri elder William Barak, was “amazing”.
“What was most significant was we had just shy of 600 people, and for most of the performance, you could have heard a pin drop,” she said.
Hosting the performance on Cor-anderrk land came about after Ms Col-lins and Ms Wandin saw the produc-tion in the city, and began the process of organising a show in Healesville.
Ms Collins said the result was “ex-tra touches” from the performers, such as pointing out areas on the land and the town of Healesville during their speeches.
“It was lovely,” she said.
“I have to admit, I got up on stage afterwards, and I planned to be all very professional, but I just bawled my eyes out, and I think there were a few oth-ers’ tears as well.”
She said she had received feedback on social media from attendees, some of whom said they hadn’t stopped thinking about the production for days afterwards.
Ms Collins, Ms Wandin, the cast members and co-writer Giordano Nan-ni also held a q-and-a on stage, fielding audience questions and comments.
Reflecting on William Barak’s fa-mous quote, “We will show the coun-try that it will work”, which is used in the title of the performance, Ms Col-lins said the sentiment was still impor-tant today.
“It’s just that it’s bizarre that that comment is still so relevant today,” she said.
“He was obviously so far ahead of his time that it was crazy - but maybe it also highlights that a whole lot of things haven’t changed.
“That comment ... that’s important to us, and guides us with what we do on the property.”
She said that the Wandoon Estate Aboriginal Corporation was working to landscape and improve some of the original Coranderrk grounds under a project called Dill ba din Biik, mean-ing “protect ground”.
The group received a $108,000 Na-tional Landcare Program grant in No-vember last year from the Federal Gov-
ernment and Casey MP, Tony Smith.
“We need to give Coranderrk some TLC - she’s very degraded,” Ms Col-lins said.
“So we’re going to start with fenc-
ing and revegetation and see where it takes us.”
As for a follow-up performance of Coranderrk: We Will Show the Coun-try, Ms Collins said the production was
organised to be a one-time-only event - but left the possibility open for another.
“It was always intended to be a one-off, but, I suppose, never say never,” she said.

Firewood up for grabsRESIDENTS will be able to collect firewood from DELWP land until the middle of the year, with the annual Autumn Firewood Collection Season opening last week.
On Tuesday 1 March, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) opened its autumn collection season allowing resi-dents to get firewood from des-ignated spots.
Maps were made available at the start of the month on the DELWP website pointing out collection areas across the state, including in Toolangi, Marys-ville and numerous areas in the Yarra State Forest.
Two cubic metres of fire-wood can be taken per person, per day, with a limit of 16 cubic metres of wood per household to be collected in a financial year.
DELWP Operations man-ager in the Grampians Region Rachaele May said that those collecting firewood should keep others in mind and not take too much.
“Some households rely on firewood for winter energy, so consider others when taking wood,” she said.
Ms May said the collection areas helped to protect cultural-ly and environmentally signifi-
cant areas and noted that felling any trees for firewood is illegal.
DELWP and Parks Victoria will patrol forests, parks and re-serves to enforce firewood col-lection rules.
Wood collected during au-tumn may have to be stored for 12 months because it may be green when collected.
Some firewood collection
areas may only be accessible
for four-wheel-drives and in dry
conditions.
For more information, visit
www.delwp.vic.gov.au/fire-
wood or call 136 186.
The collection period ends
on Thursday 30 June.

Back on track with impressive timingBy KATH GANNAWAY
IT HAPPENS to the best of mo-tor sport racers - a spill in the crucial early stages of a race.
When Upper Yarra Second-ary College’s Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) junior team faced just that scenario in the early stages of the first round of the 2016 Victorian HPV Series at Casey Fields two weeks ago, they persisted, got back on the track, and notched up some im-pressive lap times.
The school has run the HPV program since 2013, initially as an elective but now it is an extra-curricular activity which teacher and team leader, Ka-tie Feagan, says is a statement about the commitment the team has to the project.
It also says something about the commitment of the parents, with races held on weekends.
More than 100 school teams competed in the first round, hosted by the Casey Cardinia Cycling and HPV Club on 27 February.
The challenge tests the in-genuity, teamwork and physical fitness of the competitors, while promoting sustainable energy practices.
The students said although they bought the vehicle - of-ficially known as a recumbent trike - they designed the livery and regularly maintain and im-prove the vehicle.
Student Ashlee Shotter said it was a great challenge.
“When I first joined the HPV team, I wasn’t sure if it was for me,” she said.
“But once I went to my first race, I knew I would continue with it because it was so much fun.”
Team-mate Riley Foy
agreed. “HPV racing is a great challenge, where you have to push yourself physically and be really determined,” he said.
The next meeting is at Knox in April, and the school is hop-ing to have a senior team com-pete at this event.

Dragons have landed!CHIDREN love to read fantasy!
At St Joseph’s School in
Yarra Junction the children are
encouraged to read widely.
Each year, the senior chil-
dren participate in the Mel-
bourne Writers’ Festival.
They were ‘so’ lucky to hear
Emily Rodda talk of her own
reading and of the numerous
books she has authored such as
the Deltora Quest series about
dragons.
The children won the dragon
illustration that Marc McBride
created while they watched, and
they love Emily’s books.
There are several multi-
coloured dragon eggs in the
school library garden that are
waiting to hatch...
At St Joseph’s Primary School in Yarra Junction, the students love to read anything in the fantasy genre. 151101

MOUNT LILYDALE MERCY COLLEGE
CELEBRATING 120 YEARS OF EDUCATION
In 2016 Mount Lilydale Mercy College celebrates 120 years of educating young men and women in the Mercy tradition.
Our foundress, Catherine McAuley, had no wish to found an order as she believed she could work more freely outside religious life. Catherine, however, was given permission to found a new type of order “The Walking Nuns”. They were allowed to leave their convent to walk the streets and minister to those in need. They looked after the poor, the sick and the ignorant – founded homes for girls, began schools, visited the sick and gave hospitality to all.
Today Mount Lilydale Mercy College is a Catholic Coeducational College. Catherine’s work has continued since our beginning on Monday 20 January 1896 when 46 students were enrolled. Our College now has an enrolment of 1480 students and our talented and caring staff continue to model Catherine’s work in helping our students achieve educational excellence and personal fulfilment as individuals, learners, members of the community, leaders and

citizens. Our College offers a dynamic learning environment where students are encouraged and inspired to follow their dreams.
Top speakers at collegeDURING the early part of term one, Mount Lilydale Mercy College was fortunate to
have two world-renowned speakers visit the college and present to staff and students.MOIRA KELLY AOMOIRA Kelly AO visited Mount Lilydale Mercy College at the be-ginning of February to speak with Year 12 students before their annual retreat program.
She shared with them her life story of caring for children and making a difference.
Moira spent many years living overseas and caring for sick and needy children and their families in countries such as India, South Af-rica, Romania, Bosnia and Albania.
She was inspired by her mentor and hero, Mother Teresa, and her aim was to bring at least two needy children a year to Australia for med-ical operations, for schooling and to experience the love, compassion and generosity that permeate her home always.
Moira continues to bring two children a year to Australia through the Moira Kelly Creating Hope Foundation for treatment and is cur-rently providing accommodation for 14 children at her home in Kilmore.
Moira’s humanitarian work has been recognised and acknowledged by several awards over the years and in 2001 she was awarded an Order of Australia.
Moria Kelly: a remarkable Mer-cy woman - a modern day saint!
Moira was accompanied by Em-manuel and Shahd.
Students were mesmerised dur-
ing a performance by Emmanuel.
He told the audience to live their dreams and never give up, no matter what the circumstances.
HUGH VAN CUYLENBURG - THE RESILENCE PROJECT (‘Helping young Australians to be mentally healthy’)
Hugh, who is a sought after speaker and has facilitated programs to over 220 schools Australia wide, visited the college in February as part
of the Year 7 ‘Stepping Up’ Program.
Hugh’s background is in educa-tion as a primary school teacher and he spent one year in India volunteer-ing and living at an underprivileged school in the Himalayas.
It is here he discovered ‘resil-ience’ in its purest form.
He shared his incredible story with Year 7 students and emphasised the value of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness.
Hugh spoke to the students about
his experiences teaching in India
and the journey that led him to un-
derstand that practicing the three
key principles of gratitude, empathy
and mindfulness can help to main-
tain good mental health.
Hugh was a very engaging and
humorous speaker and he left the
students feeling positive about their
future. The guest speakers shared their stories with the students. 151068

A blow-by-blow of road traumaBy JESSE GRAHAM
YOUNG drivers will be able to hear about road trauma from those who wit-ness it first-hand in a forum later this month which aims to give realistic ad-vice for getting behind the wheel.
Teenagers will pack into Mount Lilydale Mercy College’s audito-rium, on Wednesday 23 March, for a road safety forum, being organised by Roadwhyz Victoria, along with Casey MP Tony Smith.
Roadwhyz Victoria director, para-medic and Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan said it give young adults a blow-by-blow account of what hap-pened in a road crash, from those who responded to them.
“As a paramedic, I’ll stand up and explain to them the science of road trauma - what happens when you sud-denly stop,” he said.
“We talk about the science ... and understand what happens inside your body and what goes through a para-medic’s or doctor’s mind when some-one’s been involved in road trauma.”
From there, a nurse will talk the at-tendees through the emergency room and what happens to road crash arriv-als.
“We’ll show them the tools, we’ll hand them around - this is what goes into your chest, this is what goes down your throat, and give them an under-standing ... about what happens behind those curtains,” Cr Callanan said.
A Highway Patrol officer will then talk about policing the roads and talk through call-outs he has attended, and how police track down people posting hoon videos on social media.
Cr Callanan said the event will not be a lecture to young people, scolding them for bad behaviour, but rather an attempt to put safe driving decisions into their hands.
“I say to them, ‘I’m not here to tell you off, I’m not here to point a finger at you and say ‘you’re doing the wrong thing’, we all know you’re going to go out there and experiment, but here’s what can happen if things go wrong’,” he said.
“We don’t just put up crashes and pictures of dead bodies and say, ‘This is what happens when you speed, deal with it’ - I’ll explain why are they the highest risk, how can they recognise those situations.”
Cr Callanan and Mr Smith said the
forum came about after a number of serious fatalities in the area last year involving young people, in Mount Evelyn, Yarra Glen and Avonsleigh.
Mr Smith will MC the evening, and said that hearing from emergency ser-vices members would help to drive the message home.
“It’s not me telling them, or a teach-er telling them ... it’s not an opinion - it’s fact,” he said.
The night will focus on the most at-risk groups on the road - 18 to 25 year olds, and those about to hit the roads for the first time, and ‘high risk’ driver behaviours.
Cr Callanan said that high risk be-haviour wasn’t limited to speeding or drinking and driving, but can be using a mobile phone while driving, or just driving while fatigued.
He said that road trauma extended further than people killed on the roads,
but also those who spend months in in-tensive care and spend the rest of their lives disabled as a result of crashes.
An example of this, he said, was a two-door sedan with eight people in-side crashing - all of the occupants sur-vived, but the driver, who was on her learner’s permit, is now cared for in a nursing home.
“Although we harp on about the road toll, we don’t explain that it’s four-or-five-fold with serious injuries,” he said.
“Unfortunately, a bigger burden on our health system, our emergency ser-vices and our health services alike are those that stay in ICU and have per-manent disability for the rest of their lives.”
Attendees at the event will also have the chance to look at displays before and after the presentation, and Cr Cal-lanan said the presenters would try and
give tips and skills for when involved in or being at the scene of a crash.
“We don’t just give them memories, we also try and give them a skill they can take away - CPR practice, or what to do at a crash if you come across one,” he said.
“What can you do to potentially save a life? A lot of people want to
help, but they don’t know what to do, and they keep driving.”
The event will begin at 5.30pm for a 6pm start at Mount Lilydale Mercy College, on Wednesday 23 March, and attendance is free.

Horses on
the recordBy JESSE GRAHAM
A CFA volunteer has set up an Australia-wide network for residents to protect their hors-es during the bushfire season, connecting owners with equip-ment in emergencies.
Panton Hill CFA member, Jenna Kelley, has established the National Equine Database, a website that aims to link property owners and horse and animal owners, to provide tem-porary housing during emer-gencies.
The way the website works is that people with equipment and room to house animals post on the website, and animal owners can reach out and make plans to meet up on mutually-agreed days of high fire risk.
“It’s based on the Fire Dan-ger Rating index, and people have their own self-triggers to evacuate their animals,” she said.
“So my trigger is a Severe day - my horse goes the night before.
“Once the danger, for me, has passed, I’ll go collect him.”
Ms Kelley said that residents from Avonsleigh, Kooweerup and Lang Lang had signed up, but that she hoped the network would be utilised by people from the Yarra Valley, Dande-nong Ranges and surrounds.
She said the database would help residents to become more conscious of fire risk, and to act when emergencies struck before hearing from emergency services, such as the CFA.
“In this way, we’re putting the responsibility back on the animal owners, and teaching them how to respond,” Ms Kel-ley said.
“They’re making their own decisions - they’re not waiting for someone to tell them what to do.”
She said the two parties would make arrangements privately about the timing of evacuating animals, as well as providing food.
The Mail last year reported Ms Kelley’s plans for the web-site, and she said the idea came about during her work at Aus-tralia’s Emergency Manage-ment Institute.
She said that she raised the idea with Emergency Services Commissioner, Craig Laps-ley, who told her “You need to make it happen”.
Since then, she said she had been contacted by the Shire of Murray Council in Western Australia about the website, and that the group running the site would be looking for fund-ing to run free talks for com-munities.
For more information about the National Equine Database, visit www.tepscon.community.
The National Equine Database is the brainchild of Panton Hill CFA volunteer, Jenna Kelley. 144108 Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Time to dance‘DANCE HERE!’ It’s not an instruction ... it’s an invitation!
For the first time in Victoria, Yarra Ranges Shire is set to cele-brate the art, fitness and pleasure of dancing with a month-long dance-fest called Dance Here!
With more than 30 events on offer from 15 March to 15 April, dance enthusiasts will
have the opportunity to show-
case their love and creative flair
for dance.
Dance Here! will offer a
mix of ‘pop up’ dance interven-
tions in public places and open
spaces which will be peppered
around the shire urging the in-
ner dancer in people of all ages
to step out and have a go.
From ballroom, swing and
Latin, to hip hop and contem-
porary, a number of local dance
artists will host the events and
will ensure that everyone can
experience the freedom and joy
of dance.

Rocky road to silver screenHAIL, CAESAR! AND GODS OF EGYPT Rated PG and M
THE YEAR has gotten off to a slightly rocky start with these two high-profile block-busters.
Hail, Caesar!, the latest comedy-drama by the Coen Brothers, is a grandiose but jumbled tribute to the 1950s golden age of Hollywood.
Capitol Studios head of production Ed Mannix (Josh Brolin) works overtime to keep his studio in order after his lead actor Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) is kid-napped by communists.
Hail, Caesar! has flaw-less period style, entertaining
characters, plenty of amus-ing moments and several elaborate, marvellous musical numbers.
But the film lacks mo-mentum, with little tension or character development be-yond Mannix, and a narrative that really fizzles out by the end.
Alex Proyas’ Gods of Egypt is 2016’s first big train-wreck, but it’s not totally ir-redeemable.
When the god Set (Gerard Butler) usurps the Egyptian throne, his nephew Horus (Nikoja Coster-Waldau) teams up with a plucky mortal to liberate his people.
The action is exciting and
well-choreographed, the art direction is staggering, and Coster-Waldau has a sardonic charm as Horus (and is really Kurt Russell-ing it up with his eye patch).
Unfortunately, Gods of Egypt has lacklustre CGI and abysmal greenscreening, and the plot is atrociously writ-ten. The gods’ powers, the rules of the afterlife and the driving conflict itself are so poorly defined that it’s almost impossible to engage with the film.
But what other movie has a constipated-looking Geof-frey Rush firing lasers at a sandworm from Dune?

Sanders tops all six sprintsBy RUSSELL COLVIN
THREE Bridges 21-year-old, Daniel ‘Chucky’ Sanders, got his Victorian Off-Road Championship off to the best start last weekend at the opening round of the 2016 VORC at Rawson.
Sanders was untouchable aboard his KTM? Off-Road Team KTM 30O-EXC machine in all six sprints, which proved to be a dry and dusty day.
His fastest lap time was set on his third run, after he stopped the clock with a 7min39.713sec. His overall time was 46min20.356, 43sec faster than second place rider, Chris Davey.
“It’s a great way to get the sea-son underway, that’s for sure,” said Sanders, who is gunning for his third straight VORC Pro championship.
“While it was nice to get the overall
win today, it was also a good chance to try and few new different setup chang-es on the KTM 300-EXC, which are really working quite well.”
“Everything just seemed to be on par today, and it’s a nice feeling when you are able to push at 100 per cent and things just seem to ‘flow’ nicely.”
Sanders maintained that the bike felt really good to ride, as he was able to stick to it anywhere on the track which has given him a huge confidence boost, heading into the curtain raiser Austra-lian Off-Road Championship (AORC) round at Kilkivan in Queensland in two weeks’ time.
“Today has given me a good little confidence boost that I needed as we head into the opening round of the AORC. This year’s AORC series I be-lieve will be one of the toughest years
to win the championship as everyone wants to win the number one plate now that my former teammate Toby Price has departed from the series. Every bit of testing, seat time and little edge I can get over my rivals will be crucial.”
For the time being, ‘Chucky’ will get back into training in preparation for the upcoming AORC season.
“I’ll be hitting the track and getting as much fitness training in before the AORC opener. I’m quietly confident I have done enough pre-season training over the off-season to where I will be at my peak come race time against the best in the business.”
To keep up to date with Sander’s racing throughout 2016, you can fol-low his race page on Facebook face-book.com/Daniel-Sanders

Battle for memorial cupBy VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS
SEVILLE and Wandin football/netball played for the Seville War Memorial Cup at Seville Reserve on Sunday 6 March, as part of a fund-raising fam-ily day for the Memorial fund-raising campaign.
The match was a strongly contested pre-sea-son ‘friendly’ between the neighbouring clubs as part of a full day of family activities includ-ing kids sporting and social activities, food and drink stalls, a raffle and silent auction. Mail pho-tographer Greg Carrick was there to catch all the action.

Raynor reigns and looks to Olympics berthBy RON HOTTES
LAST Sunday 28 February, more than 1000 run-ners/walkers and their supporters descended on Warburton to compete in a selection of events that catered for all ages and abilities. The won-derful sponsors provided cash prizes and tro-phies to the winners.
Those winners were as follows:
The demanding half-marathon saw the first male over the line, being Benjamin Ashkettle in a sharp time of 1:17.48s.
Only 11 minutes later, the first female come through in 1:28.42s.
The very fit lady in question was Erchana Murray-Bartlett.
The 10km was won by Matthew Clarke (51:59s), while the female winner was Charlotte Bassett with a very fast 36:57s.
In the 5km race, the male winner was Jack Raynor (16.31s) and the female winner was Jes-se Mayne (18.21s).
An interesting side-note to the Raynor vic-tory is that on Saturday, 5 March, he competed in the World Track Meet, in Melbourne, in the 5km and won with a fast 13.58s, which would qualify him for the Olympics.
The 5km walk saw perennial winner, Jim Berrington, take out the event again, in a time of 30.43s.
Kylie Evans won the female trophy with a great time of 39.01s.
In the final event, the Kid’s Dash, the male winner was Safin Clark (7.13s) while Grace Robinson won the female trophy in 8.17s.
Meanwhile, the organising committee would like to thank ‘all’ the sponsors, the huge number of volunteers and the competitors for making the event a huge success. Also, a special mention to Chris Thomas, who acted as official presenter under difficult personal circumstances; and to the irreplaceable Sue and David Hoffman who are retiring from the committee as foundation mem-bers (after 14 years). See you all in 2017.
On their marks: Competitors in the fun run prepare for the gruelling test. 151193
Sport
Tail-end surprises deliverFOR the Yarra Valley’s premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, the home and away season didn’t fail to deliver some surprises.
For those watching closely, the competition has delivered a remark-able conclusion.
The match with the most hinging on it was that between Healesville and Yarra Junction.
Yarra Junction had to win to secure their finals berth, or they would relin-quish their position to Mount Evelyn, which had secured a final-round win courtesy of the bye.
Also, Healesville’s position in the four could also vary depending on the result.
Healesville batted first and had the best of the early proceedings, cour-tesy of a steady opening partnership between Brandon D’Amore (25) and Aaron Violi (22).
With a good mix of aggression from Violi, and cautious defence from D’Amore, the Bloods set a foundation from which their innings could flour-ish.
Yarra Junction’s captain Quinton Hodgkinson (3/24) brought it upon himself to change his side's fortunes and with a couple of breakthroughs.
The Hamer brothers, Ash and Scott, managed to edge their side to 3/90 with 10 overs remaining.
It was experience on the bowling side that shone through, however, as Kevin Bomford (3/17) was asked to restrict the onslaught with his probing mix of slow bowling, and turned it into an onslaught of his own.
In the space of eight eventful overs, the home side went from looking at a score beyond 150 to being out for a disappointing 107.
Yarra Junction had their destiny in their own hands and made the early go-ing look fairly comfortable.
The Eagles batting fortunes have fallen on their top order, with the ex-plosive brilliance of Cam Spaulding and Quinton Hodgkinson being well balanced by the measured batting of Marcus Hottes.
Spaulding (30) and Hottes (32) en-sured there would be no early innings wobbles as they kept their wickets in-tact while keeping the scoreboard tick-ing over.
Their 60-run opening partnership laid the perfect foundation for the visi-tors’ chase and had almost broken the Bloods’ back.
Despite losing the pair within sight of victory, Hodgkinson ensured that their progress wouldn’t be halted, and at 2/94, the Eagles only had some mop-ping up to do before they could cele-brate a return to finals action.
What followed could hardly be be-lieved.
In a disaster for the Eagles, Hodg-kinson was run out and panic set in.
Healesville opener Dermott Fry (2/19) was brought back into the at-tack for one last fling, and his quick dismissals of Matt Scott and Pat Ford breathed new life into the contest.
Ash Hamer has had a brilliant run of late with the bat, but his return to the Yarra Valley was that of an expe-rienced bowler, and his skill with the ball in his hand came to the fore.
After toiling hard for eight overs with only the wicket of Spaulding as reward, the Bloods skipper turned the game on its head in the space of three balls.
Bowling fast, and at the stumps, the Eagles tail had no answers as Hamer captured a remarkable hat-trick and left the season in the balance for the visitors.
The Eagles were able to survive the rest of Hamer’s final over, leaving Yarra Junction 10 runs to get with only one wicket in hand.
Healesville looked as if they had muffed a golden chance to clinch the contest when they spilled an opportu-nity in slips, but an accurate delivery from Chance Burridge (2/25) disturbed Lachie Dempster’s woodwork and sent the Healesville team into delirious cel-ebration of a most remarkable five-run victory.
The victory wasn’t enough to im-prove Healesville’s position on the lad-der, as they remained third after War-burton-Millgrove did what they had to do against Hoddles Creek.
Batting first, Hoddles Creek were put under the microscope early from an excellent opening spell from David Lever (5/22).
Lever found his rhythm early, and his wickets against an experienced Wombats top order had his team in the box seat from the beginning.
With their cause slipping quick-ly, Will Trotter (45) and Matt Jones (23no) were able to stem the flow of wickets, and then proceeded to add some respectability to the scoreboard.
After managing to keep their in-nings intact, the home side were able to post a respectable 8/139.
After Lever’s explosive opening, the Burra’s bowlers shared the spoils in a consistent team performance.
Hoddles Creek’s total always looked a little light on against the deep Warburton-Millgrove batting line-up, but early strikes to Michael Robinson (2/14) and Dave Chesney gave the Wombats some hope.
This was squashed quickly by a brilliant knock from Tim McKail.
At the end of the day, McKail’s masterful innings of 72 not out quickly rendered this contest over as the home side couldn’t create enough wicket tak-ing opportunities.
Eventually, Warburton-Millgrove cruised to a seven-wicket victory and ensured they would clinch a home semi-final.
In the final game of the round, Woori Yallock dusted off some cob-webs after spending the past two weeks on the sidelines, with a comfort-able victory over a dogged Seville.
Woori Yallock batted first; and as has been the case so often this season, they again flexed their collective mus-cle in a well-paced innings.
Dan Mock (77no), the batting star from last year’s finals campaign, sent an ominous warning to the other finals participants with yet another classy un-beaten half-century.
The most impressive part of the Woori Yallock innings is that at 4/170 at the close of the innings, they would’ve been well set for a massive total had this been a two-day game.
Up-and-coming medium-pace bowler, Ron Sandfort (2/38), was the pick of the Seville bowlers, who bat-tled against the tide.
The youthful exuberance of Tom Page (42) combined well with the pa-tient experience of Andy Kay (27), and with useful contributions from others, the home side was able to push their side to 135 before eventually being bowled out.
Mock completed an all-round dom-inant display, snaring figures of 4/18 with the ball enhancing his claims for individual honours at the end of the season.
He was well supported by the ev-er-reliable Simon Young (2/21) as the Tigers bowling unit combined for yet another comprehensive display.
So, after an enthralling conclusion to the season, there will be a pair of in-teresting semi-finals.
Woori Yallock hosts Mount Evelyn in a contest where the Tigers take de-served favouritism.
The other contest shapes as an absolute classic between Warburton-Millgrove and Healesville.

Warburton golf resultsWEDNESDAY, 2 March: Stroke and M. McGrann ‘Bag-day’: Winner, with a sensational Nett 64, was the ever-consistent David Murch. The unlucky runner-up, with a 65, was the ‘hot-Cross’ Noel. Balls went down to 70 only. Nearest the pins went to Dot Stephens (3rd), Tony Bickley (9th) and on the 17th, Dave Murch.
Thursday-Twilight: John Hall won the night with an impres-sive 21 points. The runner-up, on a countback with 20 points was Gary Ward. Balls only went down to 19. The N.T.P. winners were Tony Bickley (11th) and Mitch Hatt on the 12th and 15th. Gary Ward had an eagle on the 14th. Well
done, Gary.
Saturday, 5 March: Stroke and Monthly Medal: A Grade went to Dave ‘walk-on’ Waters, with a great Nett 64. B Grade winner was Craig Staggard, also with a 64; but this was good enough for Craig to win the medal on a countback. The old veteran, Kevin Kane, was runner-up
with a 65; his best effort in a long
time. The ball rundown only got to
69, the lowest limit for many weeks.
The all-important NTPs went to
Gary Ward (3rd), Tony Bickley
(5th), Ron Hottes (9th and 12th) and

Burras downed in ding-dong finalsTHE Saturday Pennant finals se-ries started in hot conditions on the weekend with mixed results for the Burras.
Warburton 1 played Blackburn at home in a tight contest and won 75 to 63 to set up the final against Fern-tree Gully on Sunday at Moorool-bark.
Rink scores were: P. Woods 26/14; P. Caneva 14/21; B.Woods 18/13 and J. Brooks 17/15.
On Sunday, both sides were de-termined to win the right to be pro-moted up to Division 1, and Ferntree Gully took the early lead before the Burras pegged them back to be in front at the break.
However, Ferntree Gully really applied the pressure in the second
half to create a handy lead.
They fought back to within 10 shots before the ‘Gully’ once again pulled away to record a comprehen-sive victory 83 to 67.
Rink scores were: P. Woods 21/ 18; P. Caneva 10/ 22; B. Woods 15/ 25 and J. Brooks 21/ 18.
Once again, full credit to the side for reaching the final.
Warburton 2, following seven straight victories after the Christmas break to make the final four, entered the finals full of confidence.
However, they played a hot Lily-dale team away, and despite not giv-ing up, they were outclassed 46 to 99.
Rink scores were as follows: G. Wynd 5/34; S. Mahoney 12/22; M.
Brennan 12/20 and P. McConachy 17/23.
Warburton 3 in their first season played Dandenong RSL away, and put up a great team effort to just go down 40 to 48.
C. Kercher’s rink was down ear-ly, but they fought their way back to lead by three shots before going down by three shots at the last end: 20 / 23. R. Newing’s rink was also well down early but came back to go down by only 5 shots: 20/ 25.
Congratulations to all team members for displaying great team spirit.
The Tuesday Pennant side played Mooroolbark away, needing to win to make the finals, but unfortunately lost 45 to 67.
Rink scores were: R. McKail 14/
24; G. Walsh 11/ 22 and R. Zunne-
berg 20/ 21.

Peak collision periodRACV has urged students to be alert and ensure their ve-hicles are adequately insured as they head back to univer-sity during a peak car colli-sion period.
New RACV Insurance claims data for the past five financial years reveals that March and May record the highest number of vehicle collisions.
RACV General Manager Insurance, Paul Northey, said RACV claims figures highlighted that most acci-dents happened after noon, peaking between 4pm and 5pm.
“Young drivers are most at risk as soon as they obtain a probationary licence,” Mr Northey said.
“In the first year of driv-ing, their risk of crashing is three times higher than an experienced driver.
“As well as concentrat-ing on their own driving, all motorists must anticipate the
actions others on the road.
“Our claims data shows that the other party was at fault in 31 per cent of colli-sion claims in 2015, while 39 per cent were caused by the insured.”
On average, RACV pro-cesses more than 75,000 col-lision claims each year.
The value of claims has been steadily rising and in 2015 repairs or replacements cost almost $370 million, 15 per cent higher than in 2011.
The Melbourne City Council area recorded the highest number of collisions last year with 4885 claims, followed by Brimbank City Council (4163 claims) and Monash City Council (3482 claims).
Mr Northey said unin-sured motorists involved in an accident potentially faced costly repairs to their vehicle and liability for any damage and caused to other vehicles or property.
SUV perfect fit for marketTOYOTA Australia is set to enter the fastest-growing segment of the local market with the daringly styled C-HR compact crossover vehicle.
The company’s newest SUV is slated for an early 2017 arrival in local dealerships after a much-anticipated world premiere of the production model at this year’s Geneva motor show.
Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the eye-catch-ing C-HR will be the company’s first entrant in the highly compet-itive small SUV category, which has almost tripled in size during the past four years.
“C-HR will expand Toyota’s market appeal with its stunning design and superb driving perfor-mance - with powerful low-end torque and outstanding handling and agility - all while delivering impressive fuel economy,“ Mr Cramb said.
An all-new platform, devel-oped as part of Toyota’s New Generation Architecture phi-losophy, delivers sharp driving dynamics supported by a highly rigid body structure and low cen-tre of gravity.
A new-generation 1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-charged petrol engine fitted to Australian variants generates impressive ac-celeration and responsiveness.
The 85kW four-cylinder direct-injection engine is char-acterised by abundant torque at low engine and vehicle speeds, achieving its peak of 185Nm at just 1500rpm and maintaining it all the way to 4000rpm*.
Strong low-end torque en-ables the driver to achieve in-tended dynamic performance at the same time as Toyota’s latest combustion and other engine technologies ensure excellent fuel efficiency.
Locally, the five-door C-HR
will be available in 2WD and AWD configurations with six-speed manual and continuously variable automatic transmissions.
The C-HR will be well equipped with advanced safety specification including standard autonomous braking and revers-ing camera.
Marginally longer and wider
than a Corolla hatch, the C-HR employs the higher ride height of an SUV and benefits from a lon-ger wheelbase.
Toyota sells more SUVs in Australia than any other brand and last year set a new local re-cord by selling 59,412 of these popular vehicles, often purchased as alternatives to passenger cars.
Toyota's new release is aimed at the small SUV market. 150995
MotoringPeter’s just Mad for MaxBy KATH GANNAWAY
PETER Axford’s first car was an XB Falcon coupe.
He bought it at 18 and it was the first tentative step towards fulfilling a dream he’d had since he was a 10-year-old Mad Max fan.
He wanted the Interceptor.
Reality got in the way and as a young Yarra Valley tradie establishing a landscaping business, his would-be Interceptor was sacrificed for a work-horse - the tradie’s ute.
It wasn’t until 13 years ago, with the business on the go, that he resurrected the dream and bought his ’74 XB.
It wasn’t beautiful, but it was black.
The Interceptor is integral to the cult following Mad Max has garnered over the past 40 years.
Film-makers Byron Kennedy and George Miller began pre-production on Mad Max in 1976 and were looking for a high-powered, evil-looking Aus-tralian car to play the role of the black police Interceptor.
The transformation from street car to the Interceptor that took on a sinister presence of its own in Mad Max (1979) and the sequel, Mad Max 2 (1981), is
part of Australia’s film history.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome followed in 1985 and 30 years down the track Mad Max Fury Road was re-leased last year.
Peter bought the car over the internet.
“It was pretty run-down, a bad-looking thing really, but I’d loved Mad Max since I was a kid and my whole life plan was to get one of these cars,” he said.
“It was just something I had to do.”
He took it back to the base and had it resprayed before fitting the full Mad Max body kit.
The 671 blower on the bonnet, the flares, nose cones and, the Scott injec-tor hat were shaped from the original moulds.
The fascination continues inside with an original overhead CB radio on the console.
A 460 Big Block engine provides the grunt that Mad Max fans expect when the bonnet goes up.
But, for Peter is not just about liv-ing the dream, it’s about sharing the dream.
The car is a star attraction at local car shows, rallies and charity events
and is one of around 30 movie cars, in-cluding the Starsky and Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard and Herbie, that cruise to-gether to raise money for charity.
Their next big outing will be in the Moomba Parade on Monday, 14 March, as part of the movie trio - Mad Max, the '60s Batmobile and the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future.
Peter says one of his most memo-rable gigs has been as the lead car at a funeral of a Mad Max fan.
He died just three months after they met at the hospital where he was being treated.
“The family rang me and asked if I could drive in the procession,” Peter says.
“I was leading the procession with the coffin carriage behind me with all the family.
“It felt so good to be able to do that, because that’s what he wanted.”
The car is also the mascot for Yarra Valley FM 99.1 where Peter, his partner, Cas, and a third member of the crew, The Tone Ranger, present a radio show every Thursday night from 7pm to 9pm.
While Peter’s approach is to just park the car and let people appreciate as fel-
low fans, he is also happy to share his passion for the Mad Max phenomenon.
He can talk the movies and can make a convincing case as to why Mad Max 1 and 2 are his favourites, has had dinner with George Miller and has a glovebox full of autographs of the ac-tors and stuntmen.
Fury Road is not a favourite (“too Hollywood”), but it has reignited the Mad Max passion for a whole new gen-eration of fans, and, from Peter’s experi-ence, that’s the stuff dreams are made of.
Autographs from Mad Max actors and stuntmen on the glovebox. 151044
