EMERGENCY services were put on high alert last week when a sudden dump of snow on Mount Donna Buang created mayhem on the summit.

The initial call-out at around 3.45pm on Wednesday, 9 July, raised fears for the worst.

SES member Russell Wulf said they were on their way up the mountain when an update came through that one car with children on board was teetering on the edge of the embankment.

Fortunately, they arrived to find everyone safe, but far from out of the woods.

Up to six other cars were either bogged after sliding into a ditch on the high side of the road between the summit and the 10-Mile carpark or unable to be driven on the slippery road.

Other families were trapped on the summit unable to drive down because of the conditions.

In the six-hour ordeal that followed, CFA, police, SES, paramedics, Parks Victoria and Yarra Valley Towing and Eagle Towing worked in freezing conditions to keep the families safe and get the cars off the mountain.

Yellingbo CFA set up a welfare station at the 10-Mile car park while the CFA, police and SES shuttled the families down the mountain to waiting blankets, warm drinks and lollies.

“It was a massive job and the way the emergency services worked together was like a jigsaw that came into place,” Mr Wulf said.

“It wasn’t just a few vehicles off the road, we had to drive up and down from the summit to break up the ice and get the vehicles down to the car park, and get the car up from the embankment.”

A special bobcat winch was brought up by Eagle Towing to pull the car out.

Warburton CFA captain Hazel Clothier also praised the combined ef-

ALL the drivers involved in last week’s crash on Mount Donna Buang came through the ordeal safe and sound.

Sadly, they didn’t make it through the event warmly, with frosty families stuck at the summit of the mountain for hours while emergency services worked to clear the roads.

The crash took place at around 3.45pm on Wednesday, 9 July, and involved about six cars that had slid off of the road.

It wasn’t until later in the evening when the snow and ice was cleared from the road, and the weary mountain-goers were allowed to return to safe - and warm - ground.

Police and tow truck drivers even took care of the weary driver’s cars, and drove them down to Warburton to save the impacted drivers the stress.

Warburton CFA Captain Hazel Clothier also praised the combined effort, saying it was a great example of everyone working together in a highly organised way to achieve a very challenging objective.

State steps in on Swinburne uni site

By JESSE GRAHAM THE GOVERNMENT will be stepping in to help find a future for Lilydaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Swinburne site, after a callout for a new provider proved fruitless.

Swinburne University of Technology announced on Friday 11 July that none of the submissions received through its Expression of Interest (EoI) process were suitable for the site.

The university called for submissions domestically and internationally from 26 February to 10 April for potential buyers or lessees for the former campus.

After assessing each submission on the criteria of whether it was committed to continuing education at the site and keeping its education zoning, Swinburne came up with no results. â&#x20AC;&#x153; ... It was concluded that none of the submissions was capable of acceptance as they did not meet the overall evaluation criteria,â&#x20AC;? a Swinburne representative said.

Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe said the decision was commercial, but that the government would now step in to help determine the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coalition Government will now work with Swinburne University to assess options for the Lilydale site,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The campus has been the centre of many debates and discussions since it was announced the doors would close, with a group quickly forming to protest the decision.

Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews recently announced that, if Labor won Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state election, it would re-open the campus for higher education by any means necessary.

This included compulsorily re-acquiring the campus from any buyers, if the land was sold off before the election.

Ms Fyffe criticised the announcement, however, and said it would have been a disincentive for anyone expressing interest in the site.

“The boys both work in sports and recreational based professions and live and breathe the outdoors having been on many adventures such as this one in the past.

“Our families want to stress how experienced and prepared Martie and Daniel were for this trip, keenly aware of both risks and the unpredictable nature the outdoors offer.”

Mr and Mrs Kerr said the men’s knowledge of Mt Bogong and the surrounds, combined with their equipment and experience, adds to the frustration of dealing with

their disappearance.

The two experienced back country snowboarders signed the trip intention book at Camp Creek on Wednesday 9 July indicating that they intended to stay at Mitchell Hut and then camp on Eskdale spur, and return on Saturday.

A group of walkers came across the men’s campsite on Sunday morning around 6am and found an empty tent containing sleeping bags and other equipment.

Police are continuing the search for Mr Buckland.

YARRA Ranges Council’s decision to grant a planning permit to Telstra for a 40-metre communications tower in Millgrove is being challenged at VCAT. Millgrove resident Sheila Goodwin has lodged an Application for Review with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal on a number of grounds including that there is a Heritage Overlay on the sawmill site at 3045 Warburton Highway, and that the siting of the pole will degrade the centre of the township and disrupt views through to the surrounding mountains.

Yarra Ranges Council approved the application in March, voting against the recommendation of its planning department.

The permit provides for the 40-metre monopole, headframe and antennas, an equipment shelter and security fencing.

Ms Goodwin, one of a number of objectors to the proposal, lodged her application to VCAT on 14 April.

Telstra has appointed lawyers Ashurst Australia to represent it at VCAT and said it is committed to providing new mobile telecommunications infrastructure that is necessary to satisfy the increasing demand for services.

“The proposed mobile base station site at Millgrove was chosen by Telstra as it best meets the objectives of providing customers’ high quality Telstra Next G mobile voice, video and wireless broadband coverage while taking into account environmental and visual impacts of the facility,” a Telstra spokesman said.

No date has been set at this stage for the hearing.

Countdown to roll off

Briefly Hockey stick charges WARBURTON police are calling for witnesses to a road rage incident on the Warburton Highway on 30 June to contact them.

Police say the passenger in a car driving along the highway between Millgrove and Wesburn leaned out the window and hit another car with a hockey stick as they passed it.

A 19-year-old Millgrove man and a 20-yearold Warburton man have been charged with reckless conduct and numerous other charges.

The incident happened about 2.30pm.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Warburton police on 5966 2006 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

WARBURTON skaters are counting the days to when they will be rolling on their own skatepark.

Work begun on the longawaited skate park during the school holidays following two years of planning and the recent finalisation of the design.

The $180,000 project was funded by the council and was a recommendation of its Skate and BMX Strategy.

The project was driven by a group of local young people and community groups who

formed the Warburton Skate Park Group.

Brandon Abella, Barney Reilly, Angus Meede and Finn Peri-Collier had a chance to look over the earthworks and said they were happy to see the project on its way.

“I guess there’s a sense of relief,” said Brandon who has been working on the project from the start.

“Everyone involved has really contributed pretty heavily to getting this started and it’s also thanks to Su Yin (Chan), Karen (Swankie) and the shire,” he said.

THE body of a snowboarder reported missing on Mt Bogong on the weekend has been found, while police continue to search for a missing Yarra Junction man.

Victoria Police released the tragic news that searchers had located a body under snow about 10.30am yesterday, Monday 14 July.

At 4.20pm, the man was identified as Daniel Kerr, 32, who went missing from the Mount Bogong area on Saturday with Yarra Junction man Martie Buckland.

As of late Monday afternoon Mr Buckland remained missing in the area, though police were continuing their search.

The pair were reported missing after failing to return from a snowboarding trip in the area for a family function on Saturday 12 July.

Mr Kerr’s parents, Marg and Phill Kerr, said they were devastated by the news and are trying to deal with the situation the best they can.

“Martie and Daniel have been great friends since Year 7 and met at secondary school,” they said.

Heat is on for desexing Animal

Having your pets desexed is a small price to pay...

aid

Debra Boland By desexing your pets they: - Are less prone to wander and fight and therefore less likely to get lost or injured or display territorial behaviour such as cats spraying indoors; - Are likely to live longer and healthier lives; - Have a reduced risk of diseases related to the reproductive organs such as testicular and prostate cancer in males, and cystic ovaries, acute uterine

infections and mammary tumours in females; - Desexing eliminates ‘heat’ cycles in females and eliminates the unwanted attentions of entire males looking for a mate. Consequently, this also decreases the number of stray and feral animals.

There are a number of misconceptions associated with desexing dogs and cats which need to be corrected.

Pets don’t have to get fat after de-

sexing - poor diet and lack of exercise contribute weight gain, not desexing.

It is not better for females to have one litter before desexing, this will actually increase the risk of mammary cancer.

Dogs and cats do not have any concept of sexual identity or ego so desexing will not change their basic personality and male pets won’t feel less ‘manly’.

Every day Animal Aid experiences first-hand the tragedy of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies in pets.

Desexing is the only way we are going to address the extreme imbalance of adoptable pets to available homes.

Having your pets desexed is a small price to pay to avoid unwanted puppies and kittens and the huge financial and emotional strain they will place on our shelter.

Animal Aid’s message is clear - if you don’t have the capacity or resources to guarantee the resulting offspring’s optimum health and a loving new home then you should do everything to avoid letting it happen in the first place - desex your pets!

To encourage pet owners who might be uncertain about desexing their pets, or not, Animal Aid in Coldstream is offering a 30 per cent discount on desexing for the whole of July.

We want to educate pet owners about the importance of desexing and the number of physical and emotional benefits for the pet and owner alike.

Diabetes is on the rise

By JESSE GRAHAM A HEALTHCARE worker has warned community members to be wary of diabetes risk factors, after a dramatic rise in diagnoses in the Yarra Ranges.

Eastern Health announced on 2 July that the number of people with diabetes in the Yarra Ranges had risen by 180 per cent over a decade from 20032013.

Diabetes educator Jenny Williams said that Type 2 diabetes was the most prevalent form of the condition, making up around 90 per cent of all diabetes cases.

Despite the rising diabetes figures, Ms Williams said she felt that not many people in the community were utilising services, such as those offered

by Yarra Valley Community Health.

“It’s really scary - it also means a lot of people out there are at high risk and are not doing anything about it,” she said.

She said that diet and lifestyle - including alcohol consumption - were two important factors when it came to risk of Type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, high blood fats and cholesterol were all warnings for the condition.

Ms Williams said many people had fears about seeing a doctor to determine if they had diabetes, but added that if they did not seek help when they had the condition, they could be putting themselves at risk.

She said that untreated dia-

Many myths and misunderstandings still surround diabetes, and Ms Williams said that one of these was the belief that Type 2 diabetes can be cured - it can’t.

“Once you develop Type 2, it won’t go away,” she said.

“You can reduce the symptoms and control it, but it doesn’t go.”

To allay any concerns, Ms Williams is urging anyone who believes they may be at risk of developing diabetes to see their GP for a check-up.

Eastern Health’s Yarra Valley Community Health runs a Healthy Living and Diabetes Program to offer support for people living with, or at risk of developing, Type 2 diabetes.

She is a model girlfriend

By REBECCA BILLS SHE could be Australia’s next modelling superstar.

And at the age of 13, Taylah Rogers, from Yarra Junction, was named one of six Victorian state finalists for the 2014 Girlfriend Rimmel London model search earlier this month.

Taylah said having parents that are professional photographers definitely sparked her interest in the industry.

“I have always been around modelling,” she said.

“I tend to model for them once a week and then for other organisationS every now and then.”

Taylah, who has just turned 13, said it had been hard to be noticed by modelling agencies due to her age.

“Usually you have to be 13 years old before you can even enter any type of modelling competition, so I’m so stoked to be finally getting out there,” she said.

Proud mother Carolyn Rogers said the whole family is still in shock that Taylah is a state finalist.

“Seven hundred and thirty girls were there on the day and you just think there is no hope but obviously they saw something in her that they thought was special,” she said.

The Girlfriend Model search was also the platform that kick started former Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr.

“I look up to Miranda Kerr she’s my idol,” Taylah said.

“She also started when she was 13 and she is now so big everywhere - hopefully I can do

grams in the valley since, but there is always another generation of drivers about to hit the road.

Personal stories, such as that told by Daniel van der Hoek from Wandin, were the reality check they talk about.

Daniel was less than three months away from sitting his VCE exams in September 2005 when he ploughed into a truck and, as he put it “sheared off the side of my car and the right hand side of my body”.

TRIP is designed to be a

the same,” Taylah said.

Girlfriend editor Sarah Tarca said the search is one of the longest running and most prestigious model searches in the country.

It has launched the career of many Australian supermodels including Samantha Harris, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Catherine McNeil and Alyssa Sutherland.

“Girlfriend and Rimmel London, along with Chic Management, are looking for our next modelling superstar,” she said.

“The winner will receive a two year contract with Chic Management and the opportunity to meet with Next Model Management in one of their six overseas locations.

“They will also fly to Sydney for the finalist shoot, winners shoot and also win every girls dream - a year’s supply of Rimmel London make-up.”

Taylah hopes that she will be selected as a national finalist by the judges so she can fly to Sydney and hopefully be named winner.

Letters means, of course, that people with solar, wind or hydro power will be able to store power for the times the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow. I believe we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be left behind by the rest of the world when these energy resources are available forever and for free.

Crisis denied

Thanks, of course I WOULD like to say a big thank you to our council and Upper Yarra Community Enterprises who supported a recent kitchen-garden course for adults.

Their community grants have resulted in the renovation of two community garden areas which were set aside for growing fruit and vegetables on behalf of Koha Community Cafe.

While students had the benefit of learning from a qualified horticultural TAFE tutor, they then volunteered time and effort to help in the garden or kitchen at the cafe.

This is on-going, with positive outcomes for the volunteers as well as the community groups involved.

By funding this scheme the council and Up-

Judith Thoma, Facilitator - What’s to Eat Kitchen Garden Course, Warburton.

Top news team MELISSA Meehan and the team at The Mail can rightly be proud of all the awards obtained at the Community Newspapers of Australia (CNA) awards this past week.

We are very fortunate in the Yarra Valley and Warburton Valley to have such excellent coverage of community events and issues.

This is only possible as a result of the dedication and capabilities of the staff who are regularly out and about, covering a huge range of community events, often from early in the morning to late at night.

Particular congratulations must go to Kath Gannaway for her Best Feature Story award.

Given recent coverage I am sure local Jesse Graham will be lining up for an award in the not too distant future.

Customised Attic Design

ONE Of the most important and significant legacies we can leave for our children, grandchildren and future residents of Healesville is to make the town self-sufficient in power.

The Yarra Valley has an abundance of wind at most times of the year so wind power is an excellent part of this.

Water courses from the surrounding hills lend themselves to a simple yet efficient hydroelectric system. And, as many people have already realised, installing solar panels reduces the cost of electricity to their homes and businesses. When you combine all these with the rapidly developing technology in the efficiency of batteries for power storage, the solution becomes more feasible daily. All around the world towns and small cities are realising that it can be done.

Our capital city, Canberra, will be completely powered by solar power within five years.

Considering the amount of sunshine we have in the valley, it is cause for concern when comparing ourselves with, for example towns in Germany, that we have only 3 per cent powered by solar and German towns have over 60 per cent powered by solar. The Tesla corporation, renowned for its innovative approach to electric cars and battery expertise, has released to the world all the knowhow on battery design. This

MINISTER Smith would like us to believe that the recommendations of the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) and $11 million will be enough to protect our state’s faunal emblem from extinction (Save Possum Plea, Mail, 8 July 2014). They won’t.

The main finding of the LPAG was that the proposal for a Great Forests National Park with new prescriptions (proposed by Professor David Lindenmayer of ANU) was clearly identified as the option, “that was considered most likely to have the greatest benefit to the species.

“The model suggests that the Lindenmayer et al. prescriptions option (which includes establishment of a Great Forests National Park), offers the best chance of recovery for the species.”

Unfortunately, this option was not included in the group’s recommendations because it was excluded by the terms of reference.

The 13 accepted recommendations are largely cosmetic and are likely to make little or no difference to the future of our critically endangered possum, which will still be driven into extinction by industrial logging of its habitat.

This is apparently being done to protect just 485 jobs, including contractors. The $11 million would be much better spent providing retraining and exit packages for those workers and investing in the many profitable opportunities that a Great Forest National Park would bring to our communities.

YARRA Valley Community Medical Clinic is certainly not “in crisis” as reported in the Mountain Views Mail on 8 July 2014.

As we stated in our response to the Mountain Views Mail, which, disappointingly, went unpublished, patients can be reassured that Yarra Valley Community Medical Clinic is operating as normal. The clinic is being well managed, staffed appropriately and this includes the same level of GP services being maintained that patients are used to.

Yarra Valley Community Medical Clinic staff provide an excellent service for the community and it should be noted that the clinic is the only GP service in the Yarra Valley that routinely bulkbills all patients.

Eastern Health values the contribution by the GPs and staff at the clinic in providing this important service to the community.

Furthermore, our $7.8 million redevelopment of Healesville and District Hospital and Yarra Valley Community Health, which is now underway, will include a refurbished clinic that will ensure GP services are retained and provide expanded services to improve access for the community.

Eastern Health is committed to keeping the community informed about the redevelopment.

Members of the community can find out more by contacting Eastern Health’s Manager of Consumer Participation and Patient Experience on 5969 9951 or email healesvillefeedback@ easternhealth.org.au.

Protesters’ bare cheek exposed

By JESSE GRAHAM PASSIONATE protesters braved a cold morning in the Toolangi State Forest last week and wore naught but masks as part of a silent anti-logging protest.

Logging body, VicForests, however, has said it is taking measures to protect a newly-logged coupe under dispute.

Four protesters took part in a naked demonstration at around 10am on Tuesday 8 July on the side of Sylvia Creek Road.

According to the participants, the purpose of the action was not to disrupt work, block the road or lock onto machinery, but to try and send a message.

“Just as they are naked and defenceless, so too is the forest,” a statement from the group read.

“Just as we need to create a culture that protects women’s bodies from male violence, we need to create a culture based on conservation of nature.”

The participants wore nothing but masks, but covered their fronts with a sign, which read “Naked for the mother”.

The words “Great Forest National Park” were spelt out in individual signs along the ground before them, and the Knitting Nannas of Toolangi were seated nearby, knitting as the demonstration took place.

The group said the timing of the demonstration was to coincide with harvesting beginning at ‘Rusty’ coupe, which sits about two kilometres into the forest.

They said they believed the harvesting of the coupe was taking place before the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) recommendations came into effect.

A group of anti-logging demonstrators took part in a naked protest last Picture: JESSE GRAHAM week in the Toolangi State Forest. 123815 Under the recommendations, which were accepted by the government, logging must take place at least 200 metres from old growth trees that could contain the endangered possum.

However, VicForests’ Stakeholder and Planning General Manager Nathan Trushell said the buffer zone would be enforced in the coupe.

He said that a Leadbeater’s Possum was detected in a tree in 1988 by the Australian National University, and that the monitoring area in the coupe boundary would not be harvested The site would also have a 50-metre

buffer zone from logging.

Mr Trushell said the rest of the coupe did not meet the pre-harvest criteria of being a Leadbeater’s Possum habitat zone, but that the group would use its new logging model for it, anyway.

“Despite not meeting the criteria as habitat for Leadbeater’s Possum, the area is being harvested in line with the new Regrowth Retention Harvesting model that VicForests brought into effect on 1 July this year,” he said.

The protesters said they were aiming to increase activity in the lead-up to the State Election in November.

THE Lilydale High School portable building that caught alight earlier this month has been demolished.

Last week, crews worked for three days to demolish the building that formerly housed the reptiles used in the school’s Zoo Keeper Program.

Built in 2002, the reptile enclosure was home to more than 100 snakes, lizards, frogs and turtles.

The blaze was extinguished within 20 minutes, however emergency services said the portable was estimated to have suffered $80,000 damage and would need to be replaced.

Parents and students have rallied together to raise the funds needed to get the program back to its former glory, with a hope to raise between $50,000 and $60,000.

Reptile Co-ordinator Marcus Whitby said the students were absolutely devastated about the fire, but were staying positive.

“The students involved in the program will play a huge part in the re-build of the lost enclosures,” he said.

“The new portable should be in by the weekend and power and water set up in the week after that, but it will take some time to build enclosures.”

Mr Whitby, who said he started the program to aid in his biology classes, built the program from scratch.

“I just want to say a huge thankyou to the community for their support of the program,” he said.

“The encouragement that this

$

1499 kg

program needs to continue has made me realise just how important it is for anyone who has been a part of it.

“This program has been running for 12 years and for many of the students it is the thing that has gotten them through school.”

Katrina Papadopoulos, mother of Kurt who moved to the school for the program, described it as invaluable.

“The opportunities this program has offered my son are second to none,” she said.

“With his involvement in the program he has been asked to talk at universities and VET conferences about all he has learnt, and I really believe it is the thing that has kept him and so many others at school.

“Each day since the blaze there has been around 30 kids down here helping, ranging from Year 7 to 12 - it’s amazing to see them rallying together and sacrificing their school holidays to be involved.”

Ms Papadopoulos and a band of parents have set up the Friends of the Lilydale High Reptiles Fund to raise the money to ensure the program continues to positively impact the lives of students at the school.

“We have also set up a Go Fund Me page at www.gofundme. com/bbap68 and Facebook Page called ‘Friends of the Lilydale High Reptile Room’ to make it easier to get in touch with us.”

Even at this late date the opportunity is still open for the Aborigines Protection Board to become active in this duty.

Letters to the editor from Ethel Shaw, Healesville 1/7/1934 THERE is nothing mournful about the lovely piece of marble erected in memory of the last Aboriginal of the Yarra Tribe - a man who was conspicuous for his great and beneficial influence over his fellow tribesmen as well as being a link with the foundation of Melbourne. He was at the famous interview Batman held with the Yarra Tribe. He was then a boy of 13 or 14 ‘holding’ as he said ‘onto his father’s head’.

KEEP HEALESVILLE SELECT

John and Annette Hasan have been inspired to help conquer cancer. 123809.

HEALESviLLE’S most valuable attribute is its reputation for rusticity and peaceful charm. Those of us who would like to see it turned into a resort like those at the seaside are overlooking the fact that they are defeating their own ends.

Healesville wants to attract the wealthy and leisured class of tourist and to do this it must keep itself select and be not cheapened by noisy crowds such as are found at the seaside where carnivals and suchlike attract them.

Healeville’s peacefulness has always been our district’s bait for the better and more moneyed class of visitors. The other class are mostly noisy day trippers and are catered for at places like Chelsea and Mordialloc and we don’t want them here.

In awe of their surgical skills

By KATH GANNAWAY IT’S three years since John Hasan had life-saving cancer surgery.

As life returns to normal for the Wandin strawberry grower, he and his wife, Annette, still speak in awe of the skill of the Melbourne medical team that pulled it off.

The experience that has led to the Wandin community getting behind an ongoing fund-raising effort, which has so far raised more than $55,000, started with a shock diagnosis of a rare and aggressive facial tumour in 2011.

John was being treated for sinus problems, but felt there was more to it.

Something didn’t feel right with his teeth either, and a trip to the dentist set alarm bells ringing.

X-rays showed no bone mass in his teeth. A follow-up CT scan revealed a huge and complex tumour affecting his palette, gums and teeth.

Annette has vivid memories of walking into a room at The Alfred hospital where surgeon Mr Brent Uren had gathered maxillofacial specialists including plastic surgeon Charles Baillieu and Dr Ian Hewson, head of the hospital’s dental clinic.

“We walked into this huge room, and to see so many people there discussing

John’s cancer and what approach they should take was both surreal and overwhelming,” Annette recalls.

“We knew John was in for something quite remarkable.”

Mr Uren had told them the surgery presented a challenge; not an operation a lone surgeon would tackle, he said.

The 18-hour operation that followed involved removing the tumour, which had impacted on veins, taking bone, muscle and skin from John’s leg and inserting titanium plates to rebuild his palette and jawline.

“There were probably 20 people involved in the actual operation and with back up around 50 or 60,” said John, who counts himself lucky to have recovered so well.

“Their two biggest concerns were losing an eye, and, because I also had a tracheotomy, losing my voice.

“In terms of my physical and mental recovery, it would have been huge,” he added.

Annette said they remained in awe of the skill and dedication that had delivered such an excellent outcome.

“We can’t say how grateful we are to have these wonderful people who do this work and who are passionate about it.

It’s not until you go through something

like this that you fully appreciate what they do.”

Their appreciation has inspired a fund-raising drive by family members over the past three years that has seen the Wandin/Seville (Bendigo) Community Bank come on board, along with huge support from the wider community.

Their team ‘Ride Like You Stole It’ is participating for the third year in the Ride to Conquer Cancer on 25 and 26 October for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Tickets are selling for a trivia night at Lilydale on 30 August to support the team. Donations of goods for the trivia night auction would also be appreciated and can be left at the bank for Jan Ockwell, a director with the Community Bank and a Ride Like You Stole It team member, who is helping with fund-raising.

The bank is also planning an Over50s Debutante Ball and would like to hear from anyone who would like to take part.

Donations can be made in person at the bank, by direct debit to 633 000 149545881 or on line at www.conquercancer.org.au For further information, email Annette or John at jhasan15@bigpond.net.au or Jan on 0414 987 615 or email janstan2@bigpond.com.

Dogged by winter chills

By JODIE SYMONDS A SEVILLE resident has been helping Animal Aid dogs fight the winter chill.

Jess Johnstone has knitted jumpers and collected blankets to keep dogs up for adoption warm in the freezing outside temperatures.

The former volunteer for Animal Aid in Coldstream said she wanted to help the dogs out.

“I used to be a volunteer but due to university commitments I had to stop so I thought why not contribute in a different way?” Ms Johnstone said.

Ms Johnstone has formed a group of people who knit jumpers and cater for the various sizes of dogs.

She said although she had only started the donations recently, she had received great feedback from both Animal Aid and social media.

“I get wool donated but anything else would be greatly appreciated,” she said.

Doing it for the Dogs on Facebook was created by Ms Johnstone to help make donations more accessible.

Shelter Spokesperson at Animal

Aid, Deb Boland said Ms Johnstone was doing great things for the dogs.

“We will do anything to make the dogs more comfortable,” Ms Boland said.

“Every dog needs a different size or fit, so it’s wonderful what Jess is doing.”

Realising he had a very sick patient Dr Fabb phoned Mr Bill Shalders for oxygen and within minutes the ambulance was out the front of the surgery.

Then followed a chain of events that saved Philp’s life. Dr Fabb made an incision between the ribs, inserted his hand and massaged the heart.

Knowing that fibrillation had set in, Dr Fabb got in touch with the warburton Hospital asking for assistance.

The nearest machine was located at the Box Hill and District Hospital and arrangements were quickly made to have the defibrillator made ready for the patient.

YARRA JUNCTION’S NEW GOSPEL CHAPEL THE Yarra Junction gospel Chapel will be officially opened on Saturday 18 July at 4pm and 7pm.

Hall tale told

By KATH GANNAWAY

Picture: ROB CAREW

Welcome for sons of sea ON Friday 4 June 1920, 150 sailors from HMS Renown arrived by ‘special train’ at 11am.

They were met at the station by an escort of returned soldiers, and following their arrival, the Marshal (Mr J. Christie) marched through the town to the corner of Nicholson and Green streets, where they were dismissed and taken to various houses for dinner.

Although the weather was ‘wet and miserable’ in the forenoon, it cleared somewhat after midday, and those who attended the park, had an enjoyable outing.

During the afternoon, addresses were given by the president of the shire and Mr W. H. Everard MLA, and responded to by Warrant Officer Robinson.

Cr Hodges said, “Sons of the sea, on behalf of the Shire of Healesville, and the residents, I desire to extend a hearty welcome to you on your first visit to Healesville.

“I’m sorry the time is so short that you will not have the opportunity of seeing the beauty spots of the district which competent experts say are equal to anywhere in the world.”

Mr W. H. Everard said, “You are the navy boys, not of England, but of the British Empire.

We all appreciate the visit from you - the boys of the British fleet who spent so many anxious days in the North Sea. “When you go back, tell your folk you came to the land of freedom, where there was room for millions of people.”

Healesville, in its 150th year, will again host navy personnel at the Healesville Heritage Festival in November, as part of its special year.

So many exciting things to look forward to in this special birthday year.

The Steering Committee.

(With thanks to Healesville and Yarra Glen Guardian edition Saturday 12 June 1920)

Wet, wet, wet

By KATH GANNAWAY JUNE was wet. And the Mail’s rainfall recorders have the figures to prove it.

“To say ‘the rains came’ in June would be the understatement of the month,” Keith Thomas from Warburton said. He recorded 201.5mm against the June average of 118.9mm.

“With the excessive rain in June, we are now up to our annual average, with 585mm being recorded while the average is 577.6mm.

In Hoddles Creek, Doug Armstrong recorded 193mm over 21 days compared to 172mm last year over 16 days. His January to June figures are 536mm for 2014 against 490mm for 2013. The average June figure is 128mm.

Alma Mitchell recorded 111.0mm over 25 days in June considerably up on last year’s 71.8mm over 20 days.

It’s all good news for summer gardens, according to Mr Thomas with Melbourne’s storage dams holding 1,303,765m.ltr - 71.9 per cent of capacity.

Matthew Holmes is on his way to telling the Ben Hall story. 121747

WARBURTON filmmaker Matthew Holmes will make The Legend of Ben Hall - an Australian Bushranger film.

Holmes raised $78,241 with a Kickstarter funding campaign, reaching the $75,000 target with four days to go to the 7 July cut-off.

Holmes said he was keeping a close eye on the Kickstarter barometer and got a huge surprise when it suddenly kicked over the magic figure with a $6500 pledge from an Emerald investor.

The bulk investment came on the top of hundreds of pledges with anyone wanting a slice of Holmes’ vision able to invest from as little as $20.

The 30-minute film will focus on

the final days of the infamous Australian bushranger and outlaw who Holmes says has a great story to tell.

As writer, director and producer, Holmes has a huge personal investment in the film, the future of which depended on Kickstarter success.

“It was a bit scary there for a while, but I’m very fortunate that we have some very generous people who have got behind the project,” he said.

The Legend of Ben Hall is set to start filming in mid-August with some filming near Kyneton and some in New South Wales.

“We’re launching into pre-production now, so we are casting all the roles, building costumes, props and sets,” he said.

Mozart move OPERA returns to Marysville on Saturday 26 July, with Opera Australia’s Indiana Jonesinspired The Magic Flute.

The much-loved opera will retain the music and storyline of Mozart’s original, but director/designer team Michael Gow and Robert Kemp have transformed the setting to make it fresh, fun and designed to entertain people of all ages.

The cast includes 12 principal artists from Opera Australia, plus a live touring orchestra of nine under the baton of conductors Simon Kenway and Paul Fitzsimon.

Gow and Kemp describe The Magic Flute as a timeless story of a hero in search of adventure.

“It’s a sort of classic quest, really,” says Gow. “We have a young man who wants to find enlightenment and true love. But he’s got it all the wrong way around, and has to deal with his own ego. So much of this opera is about letting go of what you want, and finding a way to meet people halfway.”

Unlike traditional productions, however, theirs is full of

Elizabeth O’Callaghan and Kristof Kaczmarek performing at the opening of The Suicide of Solitude at Rochford Winery.

Indiana Opera – cast members Andrew Moran as Papageno, Hannah Dahlenburg as 1st Lady, Nicholas Jones as Tamino, Emma Castelli as 2nd Lady and Anna Yun as Picture: ALBERT COMPER 3rd Lady. 123729 references to movies such as The Mummy and Indiana Jones.

Artistic director, Lyndon Terracini, is on a mission to make people fall in love with opera.

“I think audiences are going to really enjoy this new touring production of The Magic Flute. It’s funny, it’s original and it’s unexpected,” he said of

the production. The Marysville and District Lions Club is presenting the event, including a two-course dinner, at the magnificent Marysville Community Centre.

All proceeds support local projects. For further information, phone 5963 4567 or visit www.marysvilletourism.com/ ozopera.

Jersey boys don’t fly Jersey Boys Starring: John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Vincent Piazza, Christopher Walken.

Rated M for frequent coarse language IT’S a shame when such a cheerful band gets such a bland biopic.

Adapted from the Tony award-winning musical play, Jersey Boys tells the story of the iconic ’60s rock band Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, charting their whirlwind success, internal disputes and run-ins with the mob.

The performances are top-

notch, and the central cast delivers a pretty perfect recreation of the signature sound of the Four Seasons.

Of course, your enjoyment of the film will depend, in part, on whether you like that sound. If you’re a baby boomer with a nostalgic affection for motown music, then you may like Jersey Boys. But if you’re from a younger generation, chances are you won’t like the music and so may not find much to invest yourself in.

But whatever your taste, an intriguing film can be made out of any subject. Regrettably, Jersey Boys generally

’S NE IE R U V LBOT MOES E M BES RIC P

croydon

fails to engage. It’s a rather flat, staid and tedious film with toothless drama and not enough focus on Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), the band’s lead singer and ostensible main character.

The main actors also deliver a lot of awkward soliloquies in which they address the audience to talk about events. These moments carry an out-of-place documentary feel and break the illusion.

If you love Four Seasons, then give Jersey Boys a try, but the slack story and pacing will likely leave you disappointed.

Gripping rooftop tragifarce

By JESSE GRAHAM SUICIDE, deception and love are just some of the key themes running behind Exit Theatre’s latest production, which is being performed in Healesville in coming weeks.

The Suicide of Solitude, a Ukrainian tragedy-comedy

by Neda Nejdana, opened at Rochford Winery last Friday 11 July.

Kristof Kaczmarek and Elizabeth O’Callaghan play the two leading parts - He and She - in the play, which is set on a rooftop at night.

The two meet in an odd fashion - She is standing on the ledge, contemplating throwing herself off, when He appears and urges her to reconsider.

However, their discussions after their meeting are full of deception, emotion and comedic banter, as emotions run high between the pair.

Watching the unfolding events on the roof are two cats, played by Dawid Kaczmarek and Suhasini Seelin, who are waiting for a friend and intrigued by the backand-forth from the others.

Around 30 people attended the opening night at the winery, and silence filled the air, interrupted only by laughter, while He and She dashed across the stage, deep in argument.

The play is described as a “tragifarce” in 13 steps, with one intermission and one jump, and the story takes sev-

eral wild and strange turns before one final twist.

The Suicide of Solitude will be performed at Rochford Winery on Fridays and Saturdays from 7.30pm, and on Sundays from 5pm until 3 August.

Two matinee performances will also be held on Saturday 19 and 26 July and 2 August from 2pm.

Tickets are $30, $25 for concession-holders and $20 for students, and bookings of more than five can get a discounted ticket price of $25.

For more information on the play, or to book tickets for a performance, visit www.theatreexit.wix.com/theatre-exit, or call Beata Kaczmarek on 0431 975 755.

Kristof and Elizabeth face off in The Suicide of Solitude.

This milestone is growing with changing times

By KATH GANNAWAY HEALESVILLE Environment Watch Inc (HEWI) marked a growing milestone on 20 June, celebrating 25 years of revegetation work on Healesville waterways.

The planting days along the Grace Burn, Watts River and Wirrup Yaluk have involved hundreds of volunteers working in conjunction with organisations including Yarra Ranges Council, Melbourne Water and TAFE, Healesville High School, St Brigid’s and Healesville Primary students.

Healesville Primary School students, employees of Kilsyth company Cummins Filtration - now regular contributors, members of Yarra Ranges Council’s Bushland Team, Melbourne Water, the Mt Toolebewong and District Landcare Group and, of course, the dedicated HEWI members who have led the project, were joined by Yarra Ranges Mayor Fiona McAllister who presented certificates recognising their contribution.

“We certainly appreciate you being part of this project and hope you come back to Healesville frequently to watch your plants grow,” Cr McAllister said to the Cummins crew.

Dean Patch from Cummins said the company encouraged employees to take part in community projects.

“It’s good to put back into the community and it’s a bit of team-building as well,” he said.

Thanking the current batch of Healesville Primary School students, Cr McAllister said the school had been involved for longer than any of them

Community, government and corporate ‘planters’ came together to celebrate a planting landmark. 123715 had been alive. The school has been involved since 2001.

Since 2000 the Healesville Primary students have planted

Ms Bond said there would be a sign

placed on the Grace Burn this year to acknowledge the ongoing commitment to ensuring the protection of platypus and native fish habitat in Healesville.

Term time

Demon deliver y MILLWARRA Primary School’s Millgrove campus was bedevilled

by Demons during Education Week last term... but all for a good cause.

The school runs the Melbourne Football Club’s Read Like A Demon literacy program and Demon supporter and teacher Skye Clarke said the students had really embraced the program, despite there being few Melbourne supporters at the schools.

Melbourne players visited participating schools with James Frawley, Max King, Jack Fitzpatrick and Shannon Byrnes making their mark

at the Millgrove campus where students read with the players, did quizzes, did a Q and A, got autographs and had a kick.

The school had one Demons supporter, Ollie, and by the end of the day he was joined by his little sister Iyla and older brother Rowan.

Millwarra will keep on with the football theme this term with its grade five and six students heading down to AAMI Park and the MCG in July to watch Melbourne train, meet the players and tour the grounds.

The students experienced sport from a different perspective taking to wheelchairs to play basketball with John who was paralysed from the waist down following an indus-

The WheelTalk School Awareness Program visits thousands of students each year raising disability awareness, promoting a healthy lifestyle, encouraging students to think about diversity, acceptance and disability sports and giving a greater understanding of the issues facing people with a disability.

YARRA Glen Primary School has been programmed for creativity, motivation and fun in its second term.

Its Little Picassos Art program for threeyear-olds provides an opportunity for children in the community to get to know each other and have lots of fun socialising and being creative.

It also familiarises the littlies with the school to ensure a smooth transition to school life.

Community projects have included the prep courtyard beautification, another creative collaboration with Preppies, teachers and families pitching in.

Prep and Grade 1 students started PMP (Perceptual Motor Program), an exciting physical education program with lots of additional benefits.

And the Prep to Grade 2 students and teachers got into investigative mode creating a fantastic Investigations Room.

Based on the Kathy Walker inquiry and investigations approach, the children are guided through activities with the investigative approach promoted through teacher guidance and scaffolded activities.

Grade 5 and 6 students got motivated with the Motov8 program promoting selfawareness and, in turn, self-assuredness.

BOARDING CATTERY

Giving pets their due care

Cats

By BESS ZEWDIE

in Clover

1139356-GG24-14

PET owners of cats, dogs, horses or hamsters or any other creatures will encounter the same dilemma at one point in time.

The common issue is whether they could provide the attention and care the pets deserve, amid a busy lifestyle and vacations?

This is how Debbie Everson came up with the idea for Paws ‘N’ More Pet Service, a Woori Yallock home-based business that provides luxury cat boarding, reliable pet and stock minding, dog walking and dog training.

An avid animal lover since childhood, Debbie has had a lifetime of experience with all types of animals. With a Certificate 3 in Dog Training under her belt, she is now taking her passion and turning it into a business.

“Each and every one of my clients’ animals will get that extra special care and love, while my clients enjoy their holidays,” she said.

“A lot of problem behaviour in dogs arises from boredom, and sometimes our busy lives don’t allow us to walk our dogs often enough.

“I offer a 40-minute walk or play for just $20, which can sometimes make all the difference to a dog stuck in the backyard all day.”

Debbie’s luxury cat boarding service provides her clients’ feline companions with a familiar and comfortable environment.

• Large indoor walk in suites with own private outdoor area.

• Individual care & attention.

• Pick up service available.

EXCLUSIVELY FOR CATS

We will feed/water all your animals while you are away.

Debbie Everson from Paws ‘N’ More offers a complete pet service. 123712 “The boarding is done from inside our home, giving that homeaway-from-home feel, helping your cat settle in for their stay,” she said.

Paws ‘N’ More aims to provide complete and competent care services to the community, which will also include dog grooming and

bathing services in the near future.

For more information phone Debbie on 0433 381 659 or email debbie@paws-n-more.com.au .

Three-way tie at top YVMDFNL Wrap, Round 12 FOUR seasons in one day made the conditions tough for footballers and netballers alike on Saturday in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Community Bank Football Netball League.

Second-placed Upwey Tecoma were toppled by ninth-placed Belgrave leaving a three-way tie at the top of the ladder in Division 1 with another three clubs one game adrift.

Seville are sitting one game clear on top of the ladder in Division 2 with Thornton Eildon making up the five clear by one game. Netball sees Upwey holding a one-game advantage on top while Yarra Glen has a six-point buffer in Division 2.

Division 1 Seniors Seville 6.11 (47) d Powelltown 5.10(40) SEVILLE has certainly sewed up a top two spot as they now sit one game clear on top after beating Powelltown who are now four games off top spot in third place.

This game was close all day and was a real arm wrestle in heavy conditions.

The first half went goal for goal, and at the main break it was Seville by just one point.

The third quarter was a real slog and neither side created too many scoring opportunities, but Seville did manage to score the only major for the term and at three-quarter time they held on to a seven-point advantage.

The last quarter saw both teams give everything and both sides scoring 1.1 for the term which saw Seville hold on to win narrowly in what was a very low scoring but epic contest.

Seville best players: M. Callinan, L. Aitkins, C. Penwill.

Powelltown best players: M. Hayhurst, M. McArthur, L. Walker.

Yarra Glen 14.6 (90) d Yarra Junction 7.12 (54) YARRA Glen sits three games clear in second spot after a reasonably convincing performance over Yarra Junction.

Yarra Glen looked sharper early and even though Junction did have their chances, it was Yarra Glen’s finishing that saw them out to a 33-point lead at half time.

Yarra Junction came out hard in the third and made it a real one-onone contest and got right back into the game, narrowing the margin to a manageable 19 points at the final stanza.

Yarra Glen showed their class in the last as they looked the fitter and faster side, finishing with a five goal-to-two

Ben Collins soaring like a Magpie.

123835

Tough conditions at Upwey. 123835 quarter and come away with a very workmanlike six-goal victory.

Yarra Glen best players: M. Ashton, J. Baughan (1 goal), J. Marks.

Yarra Junction best players: M. Brown, M. Sword, L. Cove.

Kinglake: Bye. Under 18s: Healesville 13.7(85) d Woori Yallock 2.6(18) FOR the first quarter it looked as though the undefeated Healesville was going to have a real battle on its hands as scores were tied at 2.1(13) each.

However, Healesville kicked into action in the second, slamming home six goals to just one point and all of a sudden their lead was 38 points at half time.

The third term was really a nonevent with both sides only scoring two behinds.

Healesville finished the day in style with a five-goal last term while Woori only added two behinds which saw Healesville win with relative ease.

Healesville best players: B. Clark (1 goal), J. Savage (2 goals), J. Clark.

Woori Yallock best players: M. Wells, T. Kear, B. Arnold (2 goals).

Upwey Tecoma 9.7(61) d Belgrave 1.7(13) UPWEY pretty much played this game on their own terms, their defence was first rate and Belgrave just couldn’t find a way through.

Belgrave had only managed five behinds up to three quarter time while Upwey had booted 6.3 which gave them a 34-point three quarter time advantage.

Upwey finished the day in fine touch with a three-goal term while Belgrave did at least slot their first major to take a little something out of the game.

Upwey Tecoma best players: M. Waterman, N. Waterman (2 goals), D. Torrance.

Belgrave best players: N. Schill, J. Cumming, J. Webb.

Olinda Ferny Creek 7.11(53) d Warburton Millgrove 3.3(21) AT HALF time, Olinda looked like they were heading for a 10-goal plus win as they held a 31-point lead and had also held Warby to just three behinds.

Warby hit back in the third with a three-goal quarter and held Olinda to just one behind and the margin was reduced to just 19 points.

The last quarter saw Olinda control the play not allowing Warby to go forward, with Olinda booting 2.6 to finish the day while unfortunately for Warby they didn’t trouble the scorers in the last.

Olinda Ferny Creek best players: R. Cottam-Starkey, J. Prato (1 goal), C. Horner (1 goal).

Warburton Millgrove best players:

J. Lee (1 goal), M. Kocher (2 goals), J. McIntosh. Division 1 A Grade Netball: Upwey Tecoma 61 d Belgrave 58 UPWEY remain undefeated but not before being given one heck of a fright

by Belgrave.

Belgrave started extremely well and troubled Upwey with their quick ball movement and at quarter time Belgrave held a five-goal lead.

Upwey slowed the tempo in the second and started to control their play more which got them back into the game and by half time scores were tied at 29 apiece.

Upwey looked more controlled in the third and they took their chances giving them a five-goal buffer at the last break.

The last quarter was a good one, with Belgrave doing their utmost to get over the line but Upwey was able to answer most challenges and hold on to win by three goals in what was a great encounter.

Upwey Tecoma best players: K. Tomlinson, M. Kennerley (39 goals), J. Lingard (22 goals).

Belgrave best players: T. Jois, C. Timms (34 goals), A. Jeffery.

Division 2 A Grade Yarra Glen 41 d Yarra Junction 28 YARRA Glen is taking all before them as they have now won 10 on the trot and are yet to be beaten.

Veterans cricket is set to take shape

By KATH GANNAWAY THE Yarra Valley Cricket Association is calling on cricketers between 40 and 60 to pad up for a new Yarra Valley team.

The association is moving away from individual club teams and calling on players from across the YVCA district to band together to keep veterans’ cricket alive in a new competition.

The association is looking for expressions of interest from players who

would like to be part of Over 40s and Over 50s teams playing in the Ringwood District Cricket Association (RDCA) Masters competition, and the Over 60s team which will play in the Victorian Over Sixties Cricket Association (VOSCA).

Graeme Le Brocq said a committee, with the support of the YVCA, had been formed to drive the new approach to veterans’ cricket. He said they hoped that given it was not aligned with a particular club it would

attract support from past and current older players who would come together to play under the Yarra Valley banner.

Mr Le Brocq said the proposal provided an opportunity for current and past players and their friends, men or women, to continue to enjoy the game in a competition that was fun, skilful and not too demanding.

The season would comprise seven home-and-away games every second Sunday, plus finals, with a long

Christmas break.

It’s a format that makes the game accessible to a wider pool of potential players.

The Yarra Valley Veterans are looking for expressions of interest by the end of August.

For more information on the Over 40s/50s competition, phone Mr LeBrocq on 0407 811 813 or email glebrocq@aapt.net.au, and for Over 60s, Bill Dobson on 0419 588 708 or email billdob@bigpond.net.au.

They never really dominated in this game, but it was just a solid four-quarter performance where they increased their lead at every change.

And even though Junction didn’t play a bad game they never looked to be a threat over a team that is dominant all over the court and frankly looks unstoppable right at this minute.

Yarra Glen best players: E. Kay (11 goals), G. Taylor (28 goals), S. Moate.

Yarra Junction best players: C. Richards, A. Finn (16 goals), J. Allen.

Seville 57 d Powelltown 28 SEVILLE was simply way too good for Powelltown as their ball movement was quick and clean with very limited mistakes. Seville had a handy 12-goal lead at halftime, but it was their second half that was quite good viewing as they shot 33 goals-to-16 and showed that they are a real Premiership threat and are going to take some beating.

Seville best players: Z. Abbruzzese (30 goals), A. Hardy, S. Bell.

Powelltown best players: L. Sandy, D. Barber, N. Armstrong.

Christie HEALESVILLE always knew it was going to be a difficult task facing the talented, well drilled Emerald team.

THE boys showed great endeavour and gave 100 per cent effort for the first three quarters restricting Emerald to only four goals each quarter.

However, in the last quarter when it had run out of legs and rotations on the bench Emerald managed to run away with the game.

Thanks to the two under 14 boys who had the courage to help out Healesville.

Awards: J. Johnson, J. Wood, S. Franz, M. Sissins, F. Steel, C. Agnew GREAT game by Healesville Under 9 boys. Good tackling pressure all over the ground which resulted in a lot of possession.

Team work and sportsmanship was outstanding.

Rough weather tests the brave at heart

By LESLEY RUNDLE DURING a week of inclement weather, the Thursday nine holers were reluctant to travel to the golf course and chose instead to stay at home.

However there were some golfers who bravely battled the rain, sleet and chilly wind on Saturday to play in the scheduled competition.

Two pairs played the third round of the individual match play event with Steve Kreuger playing John Norfolk and Brendan Kreuger playing Steve Coker.

Steve Kreuger beat John 1 up and Brendan beat Steve Coker 4 and 3.

So the final of the individual match play will

be a family affair with Mount Evelyn residents and members Steve Kreuger playing his son Brendan.

Those who were no longer in the individual match play played a stableford round.

The winner was Gail Leigh (11) with 33 points followed by Healesville resident and member Mark Bambery (26) with 28 points.

The nearest the pins were won by Ming Kuan and Gail Leigh.

Next Saturday the men will play a stableford round for the third round of the Barton Cup and the ladies will play round four of the Silver Spoon.

Hopefully there will be good golfing next week in better weather.
