Calls to hold fire Yarra Valley winemakers are urging local residents to hold off on their bonfires and burn offs for just a couple weeks as they fear an early end to a quiet Fire Danger Period (FDP) could spell disaster for their harvest. The CFA announced the FDP will end on 22 March, just 42 days after it was brought in. And as locals leap to light their bonfires and clean up their properties, winemakers sweat on losing a bountiful harvest. After a challenging year for the industry, which saw concerns of smoke taint from the 2020 summer bushfires, cellar doors closed to Covid lockdowns, trade issues with China and low yields, Wine Yarra Valley CEO Caroline Evans has asked locals to wait on their bonfires in a plea for community spirit. “Everybody loves a bonfire, we look forward
to them, but they can potentially damage this year’s crop if lit too soon,” she said. “We are asking our community to put off their burn offs and bonfires until May as it will really help the local wine industry after a really difficult vintage in 2020. Most of our wineries are owned by local families, and they employ so many of our friends and neighbours in the Yarra Valley.” Ms Evans explained that in just a couple of weeks of restrictions being lifted last year, 175 fires were registered and lit within the Shire of Yarra Ranges. That figure doesn’t include those that were lit illegally. Punt Road Wines general manager and winemaker Tim Shand explained the dangers of smoke taint. “It is a concern, we know from various experiences in 2009 and other years that bushfire smoke is a concern. The Australian Wine
Research Institute discovered nearby fuels that are burnt are significant in the taint picked up in grapes. Grapes are actively breathing in that smoke and depositing those compounds within the berries which are then expressed as off flavours in a finished wine.” Mr Shand also feared for those who would be burning off the wrong kinds of materials. “If people are burning off dodgy stuff on their piles or noxious vegetative material, those compounds could well end up in the crop with vines still out in the Valley. Mr Shand said he hoped to see more education around the issue and marketing campaigns stressing the importance of vineyards and wineries to the region and the impacts of burning off can play on their economic viability. A CFA spokesperson told Star Mail, “Fire Danger Periods are based on local conditions
and take into account fuel moistures, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. The decision to introduce and revoke Fire Danger Periods is based on the fire risk to our communities.” While the CFA and Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) consult with Wine Victoria when it comes to planned burns by the state, the wine industry does not have the same ability when it comes to local residents registering burns on their property. Ms Evans is hopeful and excited for a successful vintage for 2021. “The vintage itself is looking amazing, everyone’s thrilled with the quality of what has been picked so far and excited for the wines that will be vintage 2021. We’ve still got a lot of grapes out there and, because it’s been a little bit cooler, it will be about six weeks until we’ve got most of everything in.”

He was a mentor to many. “He was the eternal salesman. He was charming, it may take him three hours to sell a car but it was death by a thousand cuts.” Mr Henley read out the following anonymous messages of support during the service. “I’m so sorry to hear the news. Your dad always had time for me and made me feel so welcome when I started my journey in the Toyota family. but I’m certain his greatest success would have been his family.” Another read: “I still remember when I was new to the Toyota network and I had the pleasure of sharing the same table to a couple functions and he always made me feel so welcome and went out of his way to do so and I appreciated that so much.”
Friends and family came together to farewell Ian Pollock.

IN BRIEF
Crime on the rise By Jed Lanyon Crime in the Yarra Ranges jumped 3.4 per cent compared to the previous year according to the latest data from the Crime Statistics Agency (CSA). There were 6370 criminal incidents in the year to 31 December compared to 6163 in 2019. Lilydale led the way as the suburb worst impacted by crime recording 20.2 per cent of all Yarra Ranges crime with 1291, incidents up from 1196 the year prior. Lilydale was followed by Mooroolbark (830), Chirnside Park (551), Kilsyth (437), and Healesville (305), with Lilydale and Chirnside Park experiencing an increase in crime. Of the 6370 incidents, 40.2 per cent remained unsolved, while 26.5 per cent resulted in no charges being laid compared to 33.3 per cent where charges were laid. Public health and safety offences was the most common offence with 713 incidents compared to just one the year prior, thanks to Covid-19 related breaches under the Chief Medical Officer’s directions. The second most common offence was theft from a motor vehicle (664 incidents), criminal damage (504) and then breaches of family violence orders (499). Crime in the Yarra Ranges was most likely to occur in and around the home with the house, driveway/carport and the front yard making up three of the top five locations for incidents of crime. The second most common location for crime was streets/paths/laneways which saw
a 59.1 per cent increase year-to-year. Across the state, The number of criminal incidents recorded by Victoria Police in the year to 31 December 2020 was 403,689, up 0.3 per cent from 402,318 incidents recorded in the same period last year. The number of offences recorded by Victoria Police was 548,354. This is up 2.3 per cent from 535,952 offences recorded in the same period last year. CSA Chief Statistician Fiona Dowsley said, “changes in mobility and everyday activity during Covid-19 restrictions have influenced crime trends, with decreases recorded in steal from a retail store and other property related offences, while the introduction of new Covid-19-related offences have seen an increase in alleged offenders processed by Victoria Police. There has also been a reduction in the
number of recorded victims of crime.” In 2020 there were 37,505 offences recorded by police for breaches of Covid-19 Chief Health Officer Directions. These were recorded against 26,497 unique Covid-19 offenders, most of whom (92 per cent) received a Penalty Infringement Notice. One in five alleged offenders who breached the Chief Health Officer Directions breached these Directions on multiple occasions. The pandemic, resulting restrictions and changes in mobility and everyday life impacted on Victorian crime reported to police. There was an 8 per cent decrease in offences reported to police in the year ending December 2020 (from 538,454 to 497,704 offences 2020 excluding Covid-19 related offences). There was also a decline in the number of offences committed from March 2020, most notably for property and deception offences such as burglary/break and enter and theft and these crime trends had not returned to pre-pandemic levels. While the impact of offences committed during the pandemic was different for other crime types, there were increases in family violence related common assault and drug use and possession offences. Overall, there was a 9 per cent increase in family violence incidents reported to police in 2020. This study found that the actual average monthly numbers for family incidents were higher than forecasted and the numbers of current partner and parent/child relationships in family incidents was higher than forecasted.

Eastern Health experienced a cyber attack on Tuesday 16 March where many of their health IT systems were taken offline as a precaution as they sought to understand and clarify the situation. The health service, which operates across the Yarra Ranges is still experiencing significant impacts relating to the incident on Monday 22 March. An Eastern Health spokesperson said that patient safety had not been compromised. “Category 1 Elective Surgery will continue as planned. However, the incident has impacted our ability to undertake less urgent (Category 2 and 3 Elective Procedures) which will be postponed to a later date. “We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. We thank our staff, patients and their families for patience during this situation and we will keep them informed. “While we rectify the situation, our contact centre is receiving a large number of calls at the moment with callers experiencing long wait times. Check our website for information and if the situation is an emergency, please call 000,” the spokesperson said.

By Jed Lanyon Eildon MP Cindy McLeish has expressed her frustrations at the electronic speed limit signs outside Dixon’s Creek Primary School, which are still in operation as at 16 March, despite the closure of the school. Dixon’s Creek Primary School has been closed since the beginning of Term 1 this year and will not reopen this year due to lack of enrolments, but traffic outside the school is still being slowed to 60km/h in the morning and afternoon. Ms McLeish said she and other motorists who use the Melba Highway are “cranky” that the signs are still flashing. “I have written to the minister asking that the speed signs be disengaged. It is confusing for drivers and potentially unsafe,” she said. “We will be seeing how many, if any, drivers receive unwarranted fines. This is a quick, simple fix that shouldn’t have been overlooked to begin with.” A Department of Transport spokesperson told Star Mail the signs outside the school would be temporarily switched off and covered in the coming weeks while a long-term solution is determined.

Fire Restrictions CFA and the Forest Fire Management Vic have varied Fire Restrictions (Fire Danger Period and Prohibited Period respectively) for all private land within the municipalities listed below.
Popular outdoor dining areas for restaurants, pubs and cafes in the Yarra Ranges will continue through a COVIDSafe autumn as Minister for Local Government Shaun Leane announced Yarra Ranges Council will receive an additional $50,000 to expand outdoor dining and support local hospitality businesses. Council will use the funding to continue its successful outdoor dining program, including transforming car parks into parklets for local businesses and waived permit fees for outdoor dining expansions. The new funding is part of a $5 million extension to the $87.5 million Outdoor Eating and Entertainment Package released in September. “Victorians have loved the outdoor dining

Yarra Ranges Council used the funding to issue more than 90 permits for hospitality businesses and provide traffic barriers and webbing for outdoor dining areas.

GPs begin vaccine rollout By Taylah Eastwell A number of GPs across the Hills and the Yarra Valley will begin administering the Covid-19 vaccine from this week. More than six million Australians will become eligible for the first-round of the jab, with over 1000 GP’s across Victoria preparing to start vaccinations. Phase 1B of the rollout comes into effect from Monday 22 March, with those over 70, healthcare workers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over 55 the first in line for the jab. Younger adults with an underlying medical condition or disability and critical high-risk
workers such as defence, police, fire, emergency services and meat processors are also eligible. The news comes after a list of GP’s set to administer the vaccine was made public on Wednesday 17 March, sending GP’s into mayhem across the state as people tried to book in for their shot. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners President, Dr Price said the announcement was a huge step forward in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. “I know all GPs would want to be able to vaccinate their patients – this is what we do. Most Australians will get the AstraZeneca vaccine and many will want to be vaccinated by their usual GP, if they can. That makes sense
because most Australians go to their GP for their other vaccinations and many will do just that for their COVID-19 vaccine. Dr Price also reiterated calls for patients to treat general practice staff with courtesy and respect. “Once again, I urge patience and understanding from anyone contacting general practices in the first weeks of the rollout,” she said. “I appreciate that you want to have your vaccine appointment booked as soon as possible, but please remember that receptionists and administrative staff are doing their best in very trying circumstances. Many practices will already be going through their patient records to identify who is eligible and these practices
will reach out to their usual patients to book in an appointment.” The Star Mail attempted to contact several local GP clinics about the rollout but all declined to comment. Local clinics offering the Covid-19 vaccine from 22 March include: Sia Montrose - 10 Leith Road, Montrose. Churinga Medical Clinic Kilsyth – 465 Mt Dandenong Road, Kilsyth. Mooroolbark Superclinic – 108 Brice Avenue, Mooroolbark. Lilydale Medial Centre – 289 Main St, Lilydale. Commercial Road Medical Centre – 27 Commercial Road, Ferntree Gully.

Winemakers of tomorrow learn from the experts By Jed Lanyon After harvesting grapes from the school’s vineyard earlier this month, Upper Yarra Secondary College students got a glimpse behind the scenes of a winery to learn about the winemaking process. Yarrawood Estate partnered with the Yarra Junction high school and helped plant a miniature vineyard on the school grounds three years ago. Yarrawood Estate managing director Tim Schwaiger said, “Our winemaker Victor Nash is providing a tour and an introduction into the winemaking process. “We’re looking at every stage of the winemaking process from the intake, going through crush and destemmer, through to fermentation, pressing and then going into an oak barrel for fermentation.” Mr Schwaieger said he hoped the lesson would help the students maintain a connection with the fruit they harvested a fortnight ago at their school. The Upper Yarra students are studying a Certificate II in Wine Industry Operations elective and partnered with Box Hill Institute to deliver the program. One of the students taking part in the tour was Zach, who said he was “loving it”. “(We’re learning) about winery operations and the way our grapes have been fermented and turned into wine,” he said. The Year 12 student said he enjoyed tasting the non-alcoholic grape juice before it made its journey into a wine bottle.

Doc’s fifty year milestone By Jed Lanyon Healesville GP Dr Elroy Schroeder is celebrating his 50th year as a registered doctor in Australia and is nearing 50 years of practice in the Healesville area. Dr Schroeder migrated to Australia on 16 February 1971 from South Africa during Apartheid following the removal of the White Australia Policy. Two days later he registered with the Victorian Medical Board and began a short stint working in Murrayville in regional Victoria, before making his way to Healesville. Today, Dr Schroeder has tended to the medical needs of six generations of one Healesville family and five generations for another two local families and has had a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of Healesville residents. The Rotary Club of Healesville plans to honour Dr Schroeder’s achievement next month. Former colleague and Rotary vice president Ian Tinney had high praise for his longtime friend. “I joined the year after Elroy ... We got to know each other so well, as you could imagine in that time. He is a fantastic doctor. “A lot of GP’s are in it for the money or all sorts of things but Elroy was in it always for the people and he is an extraordinarily acute diagnostician and he was able to manage all sorts of situations very effectively.” Dr Schroeder explained his diagnostician skills came from a keen interest in detective work. “I’ve always liked the detective side of medicine. Finding out things and correcting them,” he said. “When I was a kid, the books I liked reading were Sherlock Holmes. He just used a lot of logic in observing what he sees and analysing it. “It’s that forensic side and the detective side that thrills me. You don’t get it everyday but
Dr Elroy Schroeder. when you do get it, it’s fun and it’s very fulfilling.” Another rotary member, Terry Hill, has a close connection to Dr Schroeder thanks to an important discovery. “I think his diagnostic ability makes him stand out amongst his peers,” Mr Hill said. “My wife went in there a few years ago now and she had a bit of a cough and a sore throat. Instead of just giving her something for her cough, he checked her heart and said, there’s something wrong. “Straight away he got her another consultation with another person and the other doctor said yep we’ve got to bring you in. She ended
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS up having open heart surgery. So she might not have been here if it wasn’t for Elroy’s ability to pick up something.” Dr Schroeder described these individual but crucial diagnoses as his favourite moments in his medical career. “About two or three times a year it happens where I’m really proud that I have saved a life.” It’s a similar case for Rotary President Michael Hardinge, who is equally thankful for Dr Schroeder for spotting a skin cancer on the face of his mother. “I think very few people have had such an immense and positive impact on the health,
wellbeing and community of Healesville as Elroy has,” Mr Hardinge said. “I think if you live in Healesville or know someone who lives in Healesville, chances are their life has been impacted in a positive way by Elroy’s work. “I know personally as well, he noticed a skin cancer on my mother’s face a number of years ago. And I do believe that if he didn’t notice that, she wouldn’t be here with us today. “He was literally just walking past her in the corridor and he picked that up, so he’s incredibly good at what he does.” Dr Schroeder considers himself “fortunate” to have never had a death while in the surgery room. “I find that most of the things where I intervene successfully just came from flying from the seat of my pants and just a natural feel,” he said. 50 years in medicine and performing a variety of roles has led to many unique stories for Dr Schroeder, including regularly tending to the gory wounds of hungover timber workers who would have accidents on Monday mornings, assisting local police with unexplained or criminal deaths and working for the Australian Defence Force in Malaysia. He soon plans to detail his stories in his memoirs. In his spare time, Dr Schroeder said he enjoys restoration projects, particularly on antiques, furniture and currently mechanical devices. “I like restoring things to the original state they were in ... In my day job I’m doing it with human beings but when I relax I’m doing it with mechanical devices,” he joked. The Rotary Club of Healesville will be celebrating Dr Schroeder’s career on Thursday 8 April at their regular meetings. Rotary invites members of the public to take part in-person and virtually through Facebook. For more information and to register for the event, visit: rotaryhealesville.org

THE LOWDOWN Q&A What is your karaoke song? Gangsters Paradise. Only because I can’t sing to save my life, so rapping seemed like a safer option! What something most people don’t know about you? That I can talk and sing without my mouth opening. I used to tell children it was a little man that lived inside me. They believed me for quite some time! I love seeing people’s reactions when I do this. It’s one of surprise, amazement & horror......!! What’s your favourite thing about working at The Patch Store? All the lovely, loyal, crazy customers and work crew. It’s such a nice cozy place where I think everyone feels welcomed. We all like to catch up & have a giggle. What is your favourite show on the tele ? Last one I got into was The Queen’s Gambit. She was such an interesting character. Loved the 70’s clothes and sets. What is your favourite movie? I’m not sure if it’s my favorite movie but I just have a great memory watching it. I was in Canada and friends had emailed me to go and see this film. Little Miss Sunshine. So I went off all by myself. It was the first time I’d been to a cinema alone. I laughed to myself so much uncontrollably. I was crying in the end too. I had to sit in the cinema and fix myself up before leaving!!! I loved that people knew it was my kind of film. But I was a bit sad that I couldn’t laugh hysterically with everyone! Which six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? The very missed Robin Hayne, Anthony Bou-

dain who would hopefully take us all to a crazy food location, Paulo Nutini for eye candy and some tunes, my Ma who’s always up for some food and fun. My grandparents and my partner. Skip the kids, they are too fussy! Last book you read? The Wife and The Widow. It’s a psychological mystery/thriller. Great twist in the end. I’m hanging for my Mum to finish it to discuss the twists. My sister told me to read it and I could not put it down. I read it in any little moment I could! If you could go anywhere for a holiday (if COVID was not an issue) where would you go?
I haven’t made it to Italy yet. That is somewhere I need to go. The food is what I’m most excited about. I’m sure the scenery would be lovely too. What is your favourite spot in the Dandenong Ranges or the Yarra Valley? The Patch store of course! And the lovely forest walks. We try to go once a weekend. I really enjoy the loop tracks in Ferny Creek and Olinda. 10. What is the best concert you have been to? I love music concerts. Again, I’m not sure it was my favorite artist but Michael Franti was really entertaining. He was pretty cool and came out in the audience and gave us all hugs! Not many rock stars get that involved anymore.

Yarra Ranges Council has a land area of 246,800 ha or 2,468 km2; and is larger than some countries including Singapore (725 km2;), Hong Kong (1,106 km2;) and Mauritius (2,040 km2). If you were to cover the Yarra Ranges map over the centre of Melbourne, the relocated boundary would intersect 26 other municipalities. Although the overlay only contains a very small area of Greater Geelong and Kingston if you were to shift the simulated boundary further north (so that it does not cover much of the bay) it would then include the majority of Hume, Nillumbik, and Whittlesea. Approximately 70 per cent of our population reside in approximately three percent of the total geographic area (based on the Urban Growth Boundary).

OPINION
Buildings on the move Buildings don’t always stay put. Mt Evelynites have a long tradition of moving their buildings around town, or importing them from elsewhere. The original ‘Grantully’ was a beautiful pre-fabricated timber house, thought to be the work of builder Peter Thompson of London. Banker Thomas Elder Boyd imported it in 1847, at a cost of £1,400. Called ‘Rosemount’, it stood at The Terrace, South Yarra. Mt Evelyn resident Fergus Scott bought the house about 1916 and re-erected it on the corner of Hereford and Bailey roads. The Scotts renamed it ‘Grantully’, and ran it as a guesthouse. Evelyn State School opened in 1910 in a portable building that dated from 1876 and was moved from South Wandin (Silvan) State

Mount Evelyn History Group editor School by bullock team. A two-room Bristol ‘pre-fab’ was brought from Melbourne University in 1951. Bishop’s Garage, which stood at the York/ Monbulk Road roundabout, was originally a house located on the corner of Louisa and
Irvine Streets. Mr James Low, who bought it in the 1920s, moved it to the site to serve as a greengrocer’s shop. The first Scout Hall was transported from the Upper Yarra Dam construction site in 1952. It is now the Venturers’ Den. The second hall consisted of a pair of ‘barracks’ relocated from Lilydale High School by Dr Hardy in the 1960s. The present Scout Hall was built over the top of them. John and Janet Taylor donated a weatherboard house which stood on Clegg Road to the Girl Guides. The house was moved to its present site in Wedderburn Crescent in 1992, and converted into a hall. We have two relocated churches. St Mark’s Church of England in Birmingham Road (now

Mythic cut
A few facts Daryl Cochrane’s dig at Warburton Environment’s Supreme Court litigation against VicForests (Star Mail, 16 March), needs to be called out. Here are a few facts: 1. VicForests themselves in a report to the FSC stated that the TOTAL number of direct jobs in the entire State of Victoria in the Native Forest Industry is 350 (115 of them are VicForests employees). 2. There is a transition plan ($120 million set aside by the State Government) for all workers in the native forest industry, these people’s jobs will not just ‘go’. 3. We court case highlights the industry’s historical destruction of a critically endangered long-lived understory plant- the Tree Geebung. This is one of the many species heading towards extinction in our state forests. Evidence shows that 85% of these trees that had been previously identified had been completely destroyed, 8% damaged and only 7% were intact after logging and burning. 4. As we experience heavy smoke in the valley, please be aware that a minimum 64% of the burning DELWP execute on behalf of VicForests in the name of ‘community safety’ are post logging burns spewing out industrial pollution. These burns are ignited with a napalm like substance called Flash 21 released from helicopters. 5. VicForests had a logging operational loss last financial year (at the taxpayers’ expense) of just under $20 million dollars. 6. The industry’s own statistics from 2018 state that 87% of all native forest logged in Victoria is for pulp, woodchips, pallets and sawdust. 7. Four peer reviewed studies from four different universities in the past six years have all found logging makes forests more flammable. We heartily agree with you Mr Cochrane, a council that meets the majority of the community’s needs is a climate and environmentally responsible one. Nic Fox, Vice- President Warburton Environment

a private home) was acquired from the Lilydale Church Trust. It was dismantled, moved to Mt Evelyn by bullock wagon, re-assembled and dedicated in 1924. The former Montrose Church of Christ, built in 1909, was moved here in 1985 and is now the chapel at Chateau Wyuna. The electric wires over Swansea Road had to be removed to give it headroom during transportation. Trams and railway carriages represent another type of mobile building. The guesthouse ‘The Outlook’ in Birmingham Road included a tram in its accommodation. A Mt Evelyn couple acquired a restored 1880s YZ railway carriage in 2001, for use as a bed and breakfast. The Garden Centre on York Road has a W-class Melbourne tram as a cafe.

Ratepayer rage
A man for all seasons
Yarra Ranges Council make the following claim on thier rideyarraranges website regarding their proposed mountain bike park. “A number of alignments in the proximity of Old Warburton have been altered to remove conflicts with roads and move trails further from residential areas“. The exact opposite is true. Of the extra 30km of trails just announced, most are in the Old Warburton area. Two proposed trails start opposite my front gate. This would result in an informal carpark at the end of my driveway just like the long suffering residents near the Redwoods forest have. Our council needs to stop telling us what a great job they are doing and start showing some consideration and respect for the ratepayers that pay their wages. Tanya Bowman, Old Warburton
I read Robert F Windsor’s letter to the Mail ( 9 March) with great interest. Although I never met Father Cerini, I am full of admiration for his life and work. As Robert said he was a man “For all seasons” and a vibrant community builder. Interestingly, on Sunday 14 March I was at a meeting at the Cerini Centre talking about its future - eg maybe a cultural centre focusing on the early childhood with perhaps a gallery component. The Cerini Centre (hidden but access off 5 Park Rd, Warburton) is looking for a community group or individual to lease or buy it from the Education Department (which now owns it). Currently it sits forlorn (in mothballs). Father Cerini has been an inspiration to me in my life and I would readily donate to a fund to erect a suitable plaque for his grave at Wesburn cemetery. A life worth remembering, a life worth celebrating. Ivor Wolstencroft, Warburton
Zack Snyder’s Justice League, also known as the ‘Snyder Cut’, is a film of almost mythic proportions: for years, fans clamoured for its release, while Warner Bros adamantly denied its existence. Now it’s finally out, and it’s both a vast improvement on Joss Whedon’s 2017 theatrical version and a strong film in its own right. Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck) gathers a team of superheroes to defend earth from the alien conqueror Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds). Despite its butt-numbing fourhour length, the Snyder Cut is much better-paced and more engaging than Whedon’s version, with the plot and characters given more time to breathe. The heroes are thoroughly fleshedout and share natural dialogue and authentic scenes of bonding as they face Steppenwolf’s world-ending threat. Steppenwolf himself is more formidable and has a new layer of nuance as an underling desperate to please his master and return home. The action sequences are tense, grisly and easy to follow. At last, Snyder shows a clear understanding of Batman and Superman (Henry Cavill): Batman is resourceful and noble, as opposed to his marauding borderline-sociopath persona in 2015’s Batman v Superman, and Superman’s healing process after his resurrection draws upon his small-town American upbringing and love for his family. Zack Snyder’s original vision for Justice League is thrilling, affecting and cohesive, in stark contrast to Whedon’s version and Snyder’s bleak earlier superhero movies, and is available for streaming on Foxtel and Binge. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Warburton bowls up win A wonderful finish for the Weekend Warburton 2 side as they won their Division 5 Section 4 Final. The Weekend Warburton 1 side can hold their heads high despite going down in their Division 1 Section 4 Semi Final. Meanwhile, the Midweek Warburton 1 side again won well to prepare them for the finals. Warburton 1 played the strong Mitcham 1 side in the Semi Final on Saturday 20 March. The last time these two sides played the Burras suffered a huge loss. However, they kept with Mitcham all throughout the game to only go down by 7 shots in an inspiring effort from everyone, 70 shots to 77. Rink scores were as follows: P. Woods 14/ 23; A. Donohue 19/ 20; P. Caneva 16/ 23 and J. Van Der Zweep 21/ 11. A credit to the club to continue to punch above their weight and be competitive in Division 1. The Warburton 2 side performed consistently across all rinks to record a strong win, 119 shots to 43, in the Semi Final at home against Monbulk 2. This win earned them a place in Sunday’s Sectional Final at Lilydale against Donvale 3. Rink scores were as follows: C. Gell 32/ 13; P. Summers 17/ 12; T. Heyward 33/ 12 and
G. Wynd 37/ 6. The Sectional Final was held in damp conditions, but the Burras quickly settled in and gained the advantage early. After the break they really put the foot down to win comfortably 89 shots to 58. This earns them the right to be promoted to Division 4 next season. Rink scores were as follows: G. Wynd 24/ 11; C. Gell 21/ 18; P. Summers 28/ 14 and T. Heyward 16/ 15. They now progress to the Divisional Finals series commencing next weekend. The Midweek Warburton 1 side played Yarra Glen 1 at home in the final round and won comfortably, 74 to 40. Rink scores were as follows: G. Walsh 20/ 16; P. Woods 30/ 12 and S. Lord 24/ 12. They finished on top of the ladder and will play Chirnside Park C.C. 1 at home in the Sectional Semi Final on Tuesday. If successful, they play in the Sectional Final on Thursday against the winner of the other Semi Final. Following the recent Greenlow Vote Count, congratulations to the following Most Valuable Player Award recipients: Warburton 1- Jason Van Der Zweep; Warburton 2 - Terry Heyward and Warburton 6-a-side Malcolm Paul. The
overall Pennant Player of the Year was awarded to Terry Heyward. The Burras Women’s Club Champion, Rayna Zunneberg, has achieved a place in the Final of the Eastern Region Champion of Champions Competition following her come from behind victory in the Semi Final on Friday night at Mooroolbark. Being 3 shots down, she scored 4 shots in the last end to win 25/ 24 in a thrilling finish. The Warburton Pink Day Barefoot Bowls Triples Tournament to be held on Sunday April 11 from 12pm, still has a few positions available for teams. This will be a female only event with all proceeds going towards the Breast Cancer Foundation. Beginners are encouraged to have a go as this is a wonderful opportunity to experience the game of bowls in a fun environment. Entries to be in by 31 March. $10 per player. Any interested people who are looking to take up the game of bowls are encouraged to contact the club accordingly on 0438 184 428, check out the club’s Facebook page or visit: www.warburtonbowls.bowls.com.au - Garry Lewis The Yarra Junction Bowling Club weekend
Feeling green on St Patrick’s Day By Ron Hottes A small field stepped out on St.Patrick’s Day to see how well they could cope with the greens! It appears that Paul Kennedy has some Irish blood in him as he won the day with a solid +2 to take home the winner’s voucher. Peter Bell scored one less win, (+1), to be declared the day’s runner-up. Balls got down to -1. And the lucky NTP winners were Steuart Hawke, (3rd), Mario De Vincentis, (9th), P.K. (12th), Garside Senior, (15th) and
“Belly” for a great 2nd shot on the 17th. It’s now only two weeks to the ultimate Twilight Shootout. So, Rob Hendy’s win this week has put him in the running for a spot in that Top 10. He blitzed it with 20 points, to steam into the Top 10 with just one round to go. P. O’Regan was the daily runner-up with 19 points, and the ball rundown got to 18 points only. NTP’s went to Shane-Campbell (3rd), P. O’Regan (6th) and Neil Leckenby (9th). The final Top 10 list will be published next week.

Surprisingly, balls extended to 33. The NTP winners were Michael Pinkster, (3rd), David Murch (9th), Kempton Junior, (12th) and Troy Murphy, (15th).

pennant side had earned an away semi-final and travelled to Mitcham to take on the second placed side on their home turf. Mitcham started strongly but as the Yarra Junction players became accustomed to the conditions they fought back well. There followed an absorbing see-sawing contest and with just one end to play, on the last rink to finish, scores were tied at 66 shots each. Agonisingly for Yarra Junction Mitcham pinched the last end, and the match, by two shots. The mid-week 12-a-side side also suffered a narrow loss on grass going down to a Mooroolbark side by 51 shots to 46. They did enough however to guarantee a home semi-final and will meet a side from Glen Waverley at Yarra Junction on Tuesday. They will be joined by the six-a-side side who had a last round bye and will meet Mitcham at home in their semi-final. Barefoot bowls at Yarra Junction has been a great success this season, but with the warm summer evening fading, this Friday will mark the final session. Many thanks to all the community members that have joined in to make Friday evenings so much fun. - Ian MacGregor
Ranges topple Tassie By Jed Lanyon The Eastern Ranges Under 19 Girls enjoyed an 11 point win over the first placed Tasmania Devils on Sunday 21 March. The win was made more impressive as it marked the Ranges’ third game in seven days with previous fixtures against the Northern Knights and Calder Cannons. Despite wet and muggy conditions the Ranges kicked accurately, scoring 6.1 for the day in a tough contest. The Ranges’ leadership group led the way as Bridget Deed, Isabelle Khoury, El Chaston, and Tilly Hardy all goaled. Alyssia Pisano kicked two and threatened to add more to an already impressive goal tally for the season. The Under 19 Girls will now aim to make it three wins in a row when they face Sandringham Dragons on Saturday 27 March in Kilsyth. Eastern Ranges: 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.1 - 37 Tasmania Devils: 2.0, 2.2, 2.2, 4.2 - 26 Eastern Ranges Goals Pisano 2, E. Chaston, M. Hardy, I Khoury, B. Deed Best R. O’Dwyer, B. Deed, J Livingstone, M Busch, M. Hardy, E. Chaston
