“That also takes up backyard space and I don’t think screens will be big enough to make it look good,” she said.

“I’m the one that has to live here and look at it every day.”

Mr Craig said the location of the portables was chosen due to sound planning principles and allowing easy access to other school facilities.

Questions concerning the chosen area and whether the area is restricted by bushfire regulations were put to Mr Craig, but he failed to respond by deadline.

Ms Belyus said she was willing to compromise with the Education Department.

Victorian Education Department spokesperson Simon Craig said staff had made plans to work with Ms Belyus three weeks ago to explore options such as planting on the shared fence line.

Ms Belyus said planting trees or building screening wouldn’t be enough to cover the six windows over her property because the portables are built on stilts.

“I worry because I’m in a bushfire area, I can’t just put up trees,” she said.

IT’S not just a house, it’s a home.

Mount Evelyn resident Annette Belyus has raised concern over a set of portables that have been built along her back fence, and says she’s getting no answers about her situation.

But an Education Department spokesman said it would work with Ms Belyus to find a suitable solution.

Ms Belyus said she was not notified of plans by the Mount Evelyn Special Development School to have the portables backing onto the entire width of her property.

Despite sending numerous letters, she has received no answers and she has likened her situation to that of the characters in The Castle.

The issue has left Ms Belyus with no privacy and she also believes the portables, built in January, have devalued her home. Although the portables are not in use yet, she is worried about a dozen or more eyeballs on her backyard when school begins.

Ms Belyus said she already felt uncomfortable when workers were in full view of her putting the washing on the line.

“I can see them from the waist up and it’s very confronting when you see someone saying ‘hello’ as you’re putting your underwear and things on the line,” Ms Belyus said.

Since voicing her concerns on social media, Ms Belyus has come under fire from others who believe she has an issue with disabled children.

“The students having disabilities isn’t my issue.

“It comes down to the fact that I worked hard for my home - it’s absolutely ridiculous,” she said.

“I wouldn’t have a problem if it were to be a playground. I understand, I’ve lived behind a school for the past 20 years.

“There is a difference between hearing school kids playing and them seeing right onto my property.”

Cave Hill mapped out

By MELISSA MEEHAN PLANS for the first stage of the transformation of the Lilydale Quarry have been submitted to Yarra Ranges Council.

Sibelco Australia has asked the council to back the re-zoning of land adjacent to Hull Road to allow the development of more than 147 new homes to proceed.

Sibelco Australia’s Group development manager, Graeme Woodruff, said plans for the site, known as Cave Hill, had been informed by two rounds of community consultation, and local residents would have an opportunity to tell the council over the coming weeks if Sibelco

had got it right.

“The community’s views have been thoroughly considered and we are confident they will be happy with what has been proposed,” Mr Woodruff said.

“However, we are checking in once more to ensure we haven’t missed anything and invite the community to view the final master plan over the next four weeks.”

The community and interested groups are encouraged to view the final plans and provide feedback via written submissions between until Sunday 4 May. Submissions will be presented to the council to guide their consideration of the re-zoning application.

“Following the second round of consultation in November and December last year, we refined various aspects of the master plan, particularly for the first stage,” Mr Woodruff said.

“We have had further meetings with the immediate neighbours around the eastern boundary of Stage one to discuss how the shared path around the perimeter of the site can be designed to optimise both privacy and security. We have also reviewed the lot sizes and proposed density of the site,” he said.

Stage one is located in the southern part of the quarry site, partly bordered by Hull Road and the railway line.

The master plan also proposes open space, low and medium density housing, and a new landscaped shared path for cyclists and pedestrians.

The Lilydale Quarry is nearing the end of its economic life, with the last limestone scheduled to be removed in 2014.

Places Victoria general manager Metropolitan and Regional Renewal Joanne Wandel said the additional community information sessions over the next month would provide an opportunity for people to view the amended plans and learn more about the project.

Draft Master Plan Sibelco Australia is working with Places Victoria, Yarra Ranges Council and the community to prepare a long term master plan for the Lilydale Quarry.

The Plan Cave Hill Draft Master Plan describes how the land will be used in the future, reflecting a vision created in partnership with the community.

From Monday 7 April to Sunday 4 May 2014, Sibelco Australia is consulting with the community and interested groups to obtain feedback on Cave Hill Estate – Stage 1 (previously referred to as ‘Area A’), the first piece of land to be developed located on the southern end of the site.

The refined master plan for stage 1 proposes a new residential development that will provide for dwelling diversity, open space and landscaped areas for cyclists and pedestrians.

THE YARRA Ranges Council is still searching for a new operator for Morrisons Café - as the popular restaurant closed its doors on Tuesday.

Sharing the building with the Station House Reading Room, the café’s closure means the reading room will close from 14 April to 1 May before reopening on reduced hours until a new cafe operator is found.

The short closure will enable Eastern Regional Libraries to set up systems to continue the delivery of Reading Room services.

Yarra Ranges Councillor Maria McCarthy said popular programs such as Storytime would continue to be offered at the Station House from 1 May 2014.

“When the Reading Room reopens, it will initially be open three hours per day, Monday to Tuesday, 10am-4pm and Wednesday to Friday 2.30pm-5.30pm.

“We are calling for expressions of interest for a new operator to run the cafe in collaboration with the Reading Room and other activities at the Station House,” Cr McCarthy said.

Since Morrisons’ announcement to discontinue operations, the council has been working closely with Morrisons, the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, the Mount Evelyn Men’s Shed and other providers to secure ongoing services in and around Mount Evelyn.

Councillor McCarthy said the council was committed to limiting the disruption of services in Mount Evelyn and minimising the impact on the community.

“I’m very pleased to say we’ve been working in partnership with the Upper Yarra Community House and have been successful in securing the ongoing delivery of childcare services, VCAL and community training programs,” Cr McCarthy said.

GIVING back is something that comes naturally for Mount Evelyn couple Jeff and Annette Bird.

Some 18 months ago, Mr Bird was diagnosed with bowel cancer and the family saw that the trauma waiting room at the hospital was in need of an upgrade.

Mr Bird’s daughter Kaylene Hager said the family wanted to help fund the upgrade of the trauma waiting room and make it bright and comforting.

“My Dad has been going through bowel cancer for the last 18 months and now is suffering lung cancer,” she said.

“We have never raised money to pay for his bills, but we are looking to help all the other families out there.

“Our salon, Shear Obsession, has been raising money for The Alfred hospital for several months to do up the waiting room.”

Mrs Bird said almost six years ago the couple first sat in the trauma waiting room after a close friend’s son met with a car accident.

“We were going to a specialist appointment for Jeff some years later, and I said to him “you think someone would have done something about that area after all these years”,” she said.

Mr Bird said after that comment they had a discussion together and decided that they would be the someone and do something about finding out how to makeover the area.

“We were put in contact with the Alfred Foundation and a meeting was arranged for us to bring forth our ideas,” he said.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 14 April 1934 Lilydale District Cricket Association BY securing a First Innings victory over Healesville, Lilydale have earned the right to meet Seville in the final match to decide the premiership.

J. J. Mayer Cup MR. J. J. Maher of the Herald and the Sporting Globe who is spending his annual leave with his wife and children at Healesville is a keen supporter of the Healesville Cricket Club. With a desire to foster good play among Healesville players and to further simulate interest in the game he has offered a cup to be given to the best and fairest this season. It will be known as the J. J. Mayer Cup and a committee of three will be appointed to adjudicate.

A Bright Night at Healesville ‘THE best show yet’ was the popular verdict from the best house yet at the conclusion of the community singing and vaudeville session, held in Memorial Hall on Thursday night.

The entertainment was arranged as usual by Mrs. W.E. Sharp who has already gained distinction as a concert promoter.

The visiting artists included an old pal in ‘little Bonnie Rankin’, Mr. Alan Barry, a young lady tap dancer from Colac and Mr. Jack Stewart, comedian and entertainer whose tap dancing on roller skates was one of the star items. Juggling and ventriloquism were also included in Mr. Stewart’s talents.

Warburton Mail April 17 1964 Obituary ARTHUR John Howe passed away peacefully at his home at Big Pat’s Creek on April 9th at the age of 78 years.

Connecting people and communities MVM

The deceased was Big Pat’s Creek’s oldest identity having lived there for the past 40 years after moving out from Millgrove.

HE worked at various timber mills in the Upper Yarra and it was only three years ago that he ‘laid down’ his tools to live quietly in retirement.

His wife Phoebe Ellen, now takes over as the Creek’s oldest resident.

Warburton Court of Petty Sessions A BULLDOZER operator who stole a box of tools which he later pawned and two 44 gallon drums from his employer was convicted and fined £10 on each of the two charges and larceny.

Garbage Collection Service THE garbage collection service introduced to the Shire of Upper Yarra last year has already achieved its objective and is functioning smoothly. Ratepayers should take note that the annual charge of £2 is for one refuse bin per household per week, many residents are not complying with his clause in the by-laws, leaving out as many as three and four containers for the contractor, Mr. E. J. Betts, to remove.

Extra services must be applied for through the shire office and will be charged pro rata.

Footpath?

A FEW more weeks and you won’t be able to see let alone walk along the sealed section of the footpath between the Mail Office (now Sassy Soaps) and Gerrish Motors’ Garage in Warburton’s main street. Blackberries and other brambles are more than half way across the path and as stockings are an expensive item these days quite a few women have had a reason to curse the council for its neglect. In addition, the footpath is very much an eyesore and a poor advertisement for a town which prides itself as a tourist resort.

Time to step up on buses

By CASEY NEILL USING taxis as a ‘quasi bus service’ was one suggestion to beat the Yarra Ranges’ transport woes at a regional transport forum last week.

It took O’Shannassy Ward councillor Jim Child two hours to drive to the Eastern Transport Coalition’s (ETC) Commuters Count Transport Summit at Springvale Reserve on 9 April.

“It would have taken three to four hours on public transport,” he said.

“So I’ve blown the whole day coming here.”

Cr Child said the region’s bus ser-

vices were inadequate.

“We’ve got to be able to entice people out of their cars,” he said.

RACV roads and traffic manager Dave Jones suggested regional councils could work with taxi companies to run a set route at a set price each day, a ‘quasi bus service’.

RACV public policy general manager Brian Negus said buses were the forgotten transport mode and needed more attention.

Urban planner Professor Roz Hansen agreed, and suggested offering bus services in three levels - local, rail link

and longer journeys - to improve usability and patronage.

“And we need to give buses priority on arterial roads,” she said.

Prof Hansen said the Public Transport Victoria website did not even show a bus network map.

“I think that reflects how we treat buses in our system,” she said.

ETC chairman and Knox councillor Peter Lockwood said one reason people didn’t take buses was they didn’t “want to go on tour, just from one suburb to the next”.

But he said Myki had stopped buses

being delayed by people buying tickets.

“It makes the buses more efficient,” he said.

Cr Lockwood said politicians would do what was popular, and urged people to keep pushing the public transport message.

Plans to lower fares for Zone 2 travellers was another hot topic at the forum, which about 60 people attended.

The State Government - regardless of the election result in November will cap maximum daily fares at the Zone 1 rate across Melbourne’s public transport network from 1 January.

Cr Lockwood said the move would increase patronage but cut revenue by $100 million.

“I’d rather see better services than cheaper services,” he said.

Prof Hansen said she would “much rather see that money going into public transport”.

She also scoffed at last week’s announcement that V/Line passengers would receive free wi-fi, and said she was worried about government priorities.

“This isn’t going to solve some pretty fundamental problems,” Prof Hansen said.

Timber Towns forum finds common ground

By HARTLEY HIGGINS THE question and answer session at the recent Timber Towns Victoria AGM provided surprising agreement between State Government and Opposition representatives on much of Victorian forests policy and infrastructure.

Responding to questions on funding for timber communities’ roads, bridges and logistics, recent legislation dealing with illegal protestors in working coups, and jobs, there was surprising agreement in many of the answers given.

Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Gary Blackwood and the Shadow Minister for Agriculture Jacinta Allan found little to disagree on in fielding questions from shire councillors, industry representatives and Friends of Forestry.

With the state election scheduled later this year, Ms Allan was asked about Labor policies and its support of the regional forest industry.

She responded that Labor had supported the recent forestry legislation and understood the issues of timber roads, transport and local jobs.

There was also agreement between the government and Opposition on government fulfilment policies that support locally produced copy paper.

Yarra Ranges Shire councillor Jim Child questioned, following the new legislation, why there were delays by authorities to remove protestors in the Healesville area. Mr Blackwood said that DEPI officers needed training and this was now happening.

“We have strengthened the laws but understand concerns (regarding delays),” he said.

The Minister for Agriculture and Forestry Peter Walsh in opening the meeting said the industry comprised 380 businesses, employed 21,700 people and contributed $1.78 billion turnover annually.

Mr Walsh referred to a number of recent investment decisions including

those in Western Victoria that demonstrated confidence in the industry. Vic Forests had stabilised its operations and had paid down part of its loan debt to Treasury.

Mr Walsh said the government’s Sustainable Forestry Act 2014 now provided penalties for offenders who illegally disrupted forestry harvesting, which increased safety parameters for forestry workers and protesters.

“We are committed to this industry as evidenced by our actions”, he said.

Timber Towns president Jan Vonarx, from the Alpine Shire, presented the annual report covering funding issues for timber roads and bridges and referred to the Timber Industry Road Evaluation Study (TIRES report) used for recording and ranking of timber-impacted roads.

This identified the gap in costs by shires in maintaining major timber roads in various shires at $96.7 million but resulted in only an additional $4.5 million of State funding to timber impacted roads.

Send your letters to: editor@yvnews.com.au

EVERY now and again words will jump off a page and engage the emotions.

Last Tuesday 8 April, the Mail published a letter by activist John Flynn. A blow-in from not sure where, but he is NOT a local and he does not contribute in any way to the local community.

John Flynn wrote a letter that should never have passed the editor’s desk, but it did. It not only insulted the Indigenous community by calling them ’blacks who did nothing with the land but flog it’, but also the whole of Healesville’s past and current timber industry workers. People who over the past 150 years and every day today contribute to the communities they live and work in. A legal, sustainable and heavily regulated industry that employs hundreds of people throughout the processes.

John Flynn wrote a letter that was so demeaning to so many, it warrants the condemnation of all it has offended. John Flynn states we ’line our pockets with ill-gotten gains and give nothing back but bloated egos, boasting we are the heroes of Australia’. Guess what Flynny? We are the heroes. We are the builders and guardians of these communities. We are the givers of this land. We take nothing for granted, we contribute.

You disgust me John Flynn. You disgust my family, my friends and being of Indigenous heritage on my family’s side and my husband’s family, you disgust us all.

My letter does not convey even a part of my contempt toward you. To label people involved in the timber industry as rapists and pillagers brings your intellect into question. And if you need help fitting in there are groups out there that could assist you, but fit in somewhere else.

You do not fit in here John Flynn. We are local community-based, hard-working people. We own our houses. We school our children, shop for our families and utilise the businesses that have been built on the timber industry. You do not fit in John Flynn. You and your masses of unwashed and uneducated masses need to head back from whence you came and give something back to the taxpaying people who support you.

You disgust me. I hope that not only the timber industry workers and the businesses that the industry workers support in this town, but also the Indigenous communities realise that you do not belong here.

Jacqui Commans, Friends of Forestry.

Log off logging IN REPLY to We Are Here Legally, and Timber and Tourism Work in Harmony (Mail, 25 March).

Clearfelling our native forests might be legal but that doesn’t make it right!

It is morally wrong to continue to destroy these irreplaceable native forests and convert them to mono culture plantations that do not provide us with clean air, water, climate control, carbon sequestration and habitat for threatened species.

The claim that ’timber and tourism work in harmony’ is absurd.

Just how far is The Mail prepared to go in letting people rant?

I would have thought The Mail would have been prepared to draw the line at this sort of contemptible rubbish.

John Flynn is not a local person, he is best remembered for the disruption he caused to our local timber industry in the last couple of years when he set up an illegal camp on the side of the road in Toolangi and was eventually moved on by council.

He is not a peaceful protester and his disgraceful letter highlights that.

His comments about the local Indigenous community, his appalling slanderous remarks about honest timber families earning a living in what is known widely as the most sustainable industry in Australia, all indicate fault by The Mail in allowing this letter to be printed.

It was utterly disgraceful!

Margaret Robin, Millgrove.

History moves on IN colonialist days Indigenous people were called blacks.

Obviously you do not realise we have moved forward since then. We are no longer called blacks and quite rightly so. I am an Indigenous Elder and I take offence at your remark.

The people you were inferring to are honest hardworking people doing a legal and sustainable job who, unlike yourself, pay their taxes, are law abiding and treat people with respect even you.

You are not a local to this area so you would have no idea how important a part the timber industry has played in the history of Healesville and still does to this day.

And the Indigenous people were very much a big part of this history, working in all facets of the timber industry.

Martha Chandler, Healesville.

Redirect the wood industry JEFF and Cheryl Chalmers’s claim in their opinion piece (We Are Here Legally, 25 March) that they are logging legally and that they “are not logging Leadbeater’s possum habitat”.

In the absence of a nuanced reading of the laws governing logging operations in Victoria’s state forests, the reader, even here in the Yarra Ranges, may be forgiven for thinking that it is illegal to log Leadbeater’s possum habitat.

But this is not the case.

In fact, there is no black letter legal prescription to prevent logging contractors from bulldozing a tree that contains a Leadbeater’s possum colony within it. That is the reality of the paucity of threatened species legislation in Victoria.

This fact is not controversial and is admitted by the logging agency VicForests.

Mr Chalmers, along with a handful of other contractors, has been logging in mountain ash forests across the Central Highlands, including within the Toolangi State Forest.

These forests are inhabited by the endangered Leadbeater’s possum.

Neither Chalmers Logging nor VicForests search their logging coupes for the presence of Leadbeater’s possum prior to logging and the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) does not require them to do so.

Again, these are not disputed facts.

What there are some legal prescriptions for is the ad-hoc protection of “potential” habitat.

But this is where Leadbeater’s possums are not “actually” known to occur. Basically, this is the protection of a specific configuration of forest where there are 13 “hollow-bearing trees” within a three hectare patch.

That might sound simple enough but there are two complications.

Firstly, while this forest configuration once comprised the bulk of the Central Highlands forests it is now in short supply.

Secondly, there is still serious disagreement over how to apply the “potential habitat” prescription.

VicForests and DEPI interpret this prescription so exclusively to only include the oldest of trees that are almost at the end of their life.

This practice does not allow for the replacement of these same old trees across the landscape and hollow-dependant species such as the Leadbeater’s possum, greater gliders and the sooty owl are being left without forest suitable for nesting and feeding.

The Fauna and Flora Research Collective, of which I am a surveyor, has been documenting both the “actual” presence of Leadbeater’s possum individuals and Leadbeater’s possum “potential habitat” within VicForests logging coupes across the Central Highlands since 2012.

The results of our investigations can be found on our website: faunaandfloraresearchcollective.wordpress.com/the-species/leadbeaters-possum/ When VicForests current logging schedule is completed in 2016 more than half of the mountain ash forests of the Toolangi State Forest will have been clear-fell logged since 1960.

What remains of these once magnificent forests is now fragmented and degraded and in need of an urgent reprieve from further deterioration.

The proposal for the Great Forest National Park will help provide the breathing space needed to see the tall forests across all of the Central Highlands grow old once again.

And to this end, I look forward to the day when the money spent by the Victorian Government in maintaining the native forest logging industry is redirected towards transitioning logging contractors like Mr Chalmers into establishing and tending plantation wood sources to supply the limited timber needs of our region and not the infinite desires of the pulp and export oriented wood chip sector.

Andrew Lincoln, Toolangi.

TOURIST SERVICES PTY LTD Proudly publicsince since1927 1927 Proudlyserving serving the the public

While walking in these forests, I have spoken to many tourists who are appalled by logging, frightened by log trucks and say that they will never return.

I have been run off the road often enough to limit my walking to times when I am less likely to encounter trucks, but this is difficult when trucks often operate around the clock.

I watched in disgust on 28 April 2010 as a stationary driver started up his fully laden truck and forced a van of six Liberal politicians backwards along Monda Track for 150 metres with his bull-bar two metres in front of the van and his horn blaring, then screaming “Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here?” as he finally passed what he clearly thought was a van of tourists. Although at the time Mary Wooldridge shook uncontrollably and Matthew Guy, Martin Dixon and Gary Blackwood expressed dismay at what they experienced on the Bicentennial National Trail, our complaints to police went nowhere.

Yes, there were 40 truck journeys up Monda Track on Labour Day - local residents stopped counting at 40 in daylight, then endured roaring log traffic throughout the night along Chum Creek and Myers Creek Roads.

Bad luck for the B and B guests.

If Mr Taylor is genuine in his concern for the local economy, why does he oppose the Toolangi Zipline that would create 45 permanent full-time jobs and bring 30,000 visitors annually to Toolangi, with flow-on economic benefits to Healesville, Yarra Glen and Kinglake?

Why does he oppose the proposal for a Great Forest National Park in the Central Highlands that would transform the region into a mecca for increasingly popular eco-tourism?

It is curious, indeed, to deny figures quoted by the Hon Louise Asher MP, Minister for Tourism, Small Business, Employment and Trade and to conjure up unsubstantiated figures in support of a destructive industry that is a parasite of both our environment and our economy.

Perhaps respected Sydney Morning Herald Economics Editor Ross Gittins puts it best in his recent Business Day article on 29 March.

Speaking about industry assistance he writes: “Get this: outside manufacturing, the most heavily assisted goods industry relative to the size of its contribution to the economy is forestry and logging on 7.2 per cent.

“We pay a huge price to destroy our native forests.”

It’s time the native forest logging industry switched to the plantation industry that now provides over 80 per cent of all forestry jobs and products - and allowed our native forests to recover and our regional economy to prosper.

The Great Forest National Park can’t come soon enough for this bushwalker.

Lorraine Leach, Healesville.

Beyond words

WE have had many requests from community members and visitors wanting to know about Healesville’s beginnings, as we celebrate this 150th.

Our Indigenous community have played an important part in our history, with Healesville and surrounds forming an important part of Aboriginal history.

From 1863 until its forced closure in 1924, Coranderrk Aboriginal Station was a successful Aboriginal enterprise that sold wheat, hops and crafts to the growing market of Melbourne.

The Healesville Sanctuary now occupies part of the original Coranderrk Station.

Healesville continues to have a strong Aboriginal community, made up of local traditional owners and those whose traditional lands are elsewhere.

In 1864 the site for Healesville was surveyed and the first land sales took place in 1865.

Healesville is known for its deep roots in the timber industry and has always been

recognised as one of Victoria’s key ‘timber towns’.

The arrival of the railway in 1889 from Yarra Glen boosted the development of local industry, and saw the growth of local tourist guest houses.

Healesville became recognised as a tourist destination, and has thrived ever since on the back of each of these local industries.

Maroondah Dam was built from ‘blood, sweat and tears’, as the need for water storage for Melbourne became critical, and the extraordinary building process of the ‘great dam wall’, with buckets of

concrete travelling up a zipline from the railway high up to the wall construction, is folklore which will be told this year in a project being worked on by the Healesville Lions Club.

What are your stories about Healesville’s history?

Did you know Healesville once played host to a huge contingent of American sailors visiting Melbourne?

What is the Australian Army’s connection to Healesville?

Many of these episodes in our proud history will be told during the course of this year, and many will be ‘highlighted’ in the Heritage Festival and street parade in November.

The army and navy will be telling their stories, Victoria Police will have historical vehicles on display, and Melbourne Water will display ‘history in the making’ with an exhibition depicting the construction of Maroondah Dam! Exciting times ahead!

Two wombats on the road in Beachs Lane, Dixons Creek, with a caution sign directly in front of them.

Wallies kill wombats

By JESSE GRAHAM A DIXONS Creek couple are calling for calm on the roads, after a late-right driver ignored caution signs and left a trail of dead wombats along a residential road.

Sue Forrester and Bill Molyneux awoke on Friday 4 April to a grim find along Beachs Lane two dead male wombats, strewn across the road just metres from each other.

Both bodies, one with a mouth still full of the grass it was grazing, sat on the road directly in front of a sign urging drivers to be cautious of crossing wombats.

Mr Molyneux said that he wasn’t sure who had killed the animals, but said that Ms Forrester had been up at 3am that morning, and heard a driver

roaring along the small dirt road.

About 15 minutes later, there was another loud roar as a vehicle came down the road in the opposite direction.

In the morning, they were alerted to the two wombats’ bodies by a neighbour, and later buried them.

Mr Molyneux said that there were no brake marks or tyre indentations on the road that would suggest someone had tried to avoid hitting the animals, and that drivers often travelled too quickly on the unsealed road.

“Some people seem to use country roads as if they’re racetracks,” he said.

He says the road, which has numerous bends and is often frequented by animals, has a

“continuing problem” of people speeding or driving dangerously.

About a year ago, Ms Forrester was alerted to a particularly tragic wombat killing along the same stretch of road a mother and her tiny joey were found dead by the roadside.

Mr Molyneux urged drivers to take care when driving at night or driving along dirt roads, to avoid hitting an animal or causing an accident.

“Just drive within the limits or below,” he said.

“Be aware that you’re driving through the bush - animals are out there feeding at night.

“If you drop 10 kilometres an hour, you’re going to do far less damage and have far more chances to respond in a change in conditions.”

HELPING address mental health issues at a local level may seem a daunting task, but behind the walls of the purple church in Yarra Junction, that’s just what’s happening.

Non-profit organisation CAMHA runs mental health support programs through Eastern Access Community Health (EACH), but there are others, like retiree Neva Chan-Algie who in turn support them.

Neva is one of just three volunteers at the CAMHA opportunity shop that runs out of the former church’s main hall and is in desperate need of more people-power.

The magnificent stained glass windows send light streaming into the building, creating a pleasant place for CAMHA team-leader Alli Greenwood and the volunteers to work and a welcoming shopping space.

Racks of clothing, shoes and accessories are the mainstay of the shop, but there is also the opportunity to purchase beautifully crafted jewellery and art made by CAMHA clients.

This month is Neva’s oneyear anniversary as a volunteer.

She said having retired she needed something to do, but added working in the shop was something that not only benefitted the CAMHA clients and customers, but was a great retail training opportunity for people of any age in customer service, display and handling money.

The shop is currently open three days a week - Tuesday, Thursday and Friday - from 10am to 4pm, but needs more volunteers to ensure it contin-

“We really need six volunteers to work either a half-day, or a full day, and we are always looking for donations of good, saleable clothing,” Alli said.

Proceeds from the shop sup-

Please, please lock up

By JESSE GRAHAM POLICE are warning residents to take security seriously in the lead-up to Easter and to deter opportunistic burglars from gaining easy entry with simple steps.

Victoria Police are urging home-owners to take commonsense action to deter burglars, after 8000 state-wide residential burglaries in the 2012-’13 financial year involved unlocked doors or windows.

In another 385 cases, burglars were able to enter homes with a key.

Commander Doug Fryer said that police were ‘fed up’ with the staggering statistics, and asked residents to take simple actions, such as locking doors and windows when not at home.

“Locking your windows and doors might seem like common sense steps, but our statistics show that not everyone is taking them,” he said.

“It’s frustrating that police have to respond to these incidents, many of which would possibly have been prevented.”

However, Yarra Ranges Inspector Paul Rosenblum said that progress had been made with burglaries, with a 26.6 per cent drop in residential burglaries in the area between 2012 and 2013.

The number of burglaries dropped from 545 in 2012 to 400 in 2013.

“Yarra Ranges (police) continue to focus on reducing the incidence of residential and commercial burglary,” he said.

“Significant effort has taken

place to ensure timely and accurate information is provided to police to target these crimes.

We have as a result seen a reduction in residential burglary.”

Steps that residents can take to deter burglars include installing deadlocks on external doors and windows, cutting overhanging branches near the house that could obscure burglars and informing neighbours when leaving the house unattended for days.

Commander Fryer said that, with many people heading away for the Easter weekend, it was a timely reminder for residents to bulk up their safety measures.

MARCH was sparse according to Warburton rainfall recorder Keith Thomas who measured only 41mm in his gauge compared to the average of 87.5mm.

Figures for the first quarter were 130mm against the average of 235.7mm.

Centenary Cuckoo flies high

By REBECCA BILLS

HISTORY will be made when the five millionth customer walks through the doors of the Cuckoo Restaurant to win a trip for two to Germany.

The customer is expected to walk through the doors midMay and will be dazzled by the sound of cow bells and yodelling to celebrate the all expenses paid trip.

Marketing manager Judy Bitterman said all the staff at the restaurant were ecstatic about the giveaway which would mark a huge milestone.

“We all are extremely excited here at the Cuckoo,” she said.

“We have never done anything like this before and it’s something that has never happened in the hills before.”

Not only is the Cuckoo celebrating the upcoming five millionth customer, it is celebrating 100 years on the site.

Ms Bitterman said the building that housed the Cuckoo was built in 1914 and was originally called the Quamby.

“In 1958 the Quamby was

HE is a brave little man with a zest for life.

However, eight-year-old Oscar Groves-Berry, dubbed Oscar the Brave, was diagnosed with the incurable Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) the day before his seventh birthday.

The disease is the most aggressive form of Muscular Dystrophy causing muscles to break down, leading to progressive difficulty with walking and general mobility that will lead to complete muscle failure including his heart and lungs.

With his ninth birthday coming up on 24 April, the family has had to make a considerable number of changes including renovating their bathroom and re-doing their drive-way since the diagnosis.

Parents Vicki and Andrew said it was not easy, but they just did what they had to do as soon he was permanently bound to a wheelchair.

“When we were initially told of his condition, it was absolutely gut wrenching - it was awful,” Mrs Groves-Berry said.

“We’ve answered all his questions as he asks them as honestly as possible,” he said.

“Unfortunately, his appearance has changed so much because of the medication, some of his friends have asked questions.”

The disease affects one in 3500 boys, is genetic and has no cure.

The family is now in desperate need of a suitable vehicle with hydraulics to accommodate an electric wheelchair - this will play an essential part in enabling Oscar to attend medical appointments, the Children’s Hospital, weekly therapy,

Evans and Johansson have excellent chemistry as loyal, professional friends, and also work well with newcomer Anthony Mackie as Falcon, a cool and well-developed wingman. The action is amazing, with powerful choreography and very creative stunts.

The Winter Soldier is an enigmatic, chilling figure, and veteran actor Robert Redford is surprisingly great playing against type as the other main villain.

Intelligent and compelling, The Winter Soldier is even better than the first Captain America film.

quite a dark, serious comicbook film, but not grim and humourless like Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

The Winter Soldier is effectively an action-packed political thriller about corruption and the ethics of surveillance and counter-terrorism.

The film is superbly-paced and incredibly suspenseful.

The drama carries a strong sense of shock and betrayal, as characters that are loved are under constant threat and a formerly heroic group in the Marvel universe is revealed as poisoned by conspirators.

Treehouse drama ends

By JESSE GRAHAM TOOLANGI’S Little Red Treehouse has been taken down.

The Little Red Toolangi Treehouse (LRTT) was voluntarily removed from the Toolangi State Forest around 6 April, just ahead of the court-imposed deadline for the structure’s removal.

A post on the LRTT’s Facebook page on 6 April indicated that the structure, which hung 29.6 metres above the floor of the forest since November, was taken down.

“In the lead-up to the court date (9 April), we have decided to take the TreeHouse down because we have always been a

non-confrontational space,” the post read.

“We are deciding what will happen to the fate of our now iconic symbol of resistance and care for forests.”

Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) District Manager for Murrindindi, John Steer, said that DEPI officers confirmed the voluntary removal of the LRTT last week.

“On routine patrols on Monday 7 April, our officers confirmed the voluntary removal of the tree house,” he said.

“We are pleased the owners of the treehouse have come forward and co-operated with its

order to be removed.”

The deadline for the treehouse’s removal was 9 April if it had not been removed, the structure would have been forfeited to the Crown for disposal.

The order for the treehouse’s removal was given by the Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on 12 March, after an unresolved demand for a licence or permit by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI).

DEPI had placed a notice on the treehouse, demanding the owner of the structure to come forward - the matter was unresolved, and DEPI applied to the courts in February to have the LRTT removed.

Passion for education adventure

By KATH GANNAWAY STUDENTS at Upper Yarra Community House’s Redwood and Cerini campuses are linked into an education adventure shared by students in 130 countries around the world.

At a special presentation in March, the students heard of the challenges they would encounter this year as they work towards a Duke of Edinburgh Award.

The Award is open to people between 14 and 25 and is based around individual interests and passions. Emma Myers outlined the program saying “ ... it’s about getting out of your comfort zone”.

The four components relate to physical activity, skills, community service and exploration. “It’s up to you what activities you choose and what goals you set,” Ms Myers said.

“It is called an award, but it’s non-competitive, it is your own individual challenge.”

Lesley Porter from The Goodlife Farm in Chum Creek spoke of the community service the students can tap into through the work they are involved with at the farm.

Suzi Hyland from UYCH said there were more than 20 students in the program with those under 14 doing the

equivalent Compass Program.

She said the students were involved in designing the program and had embraced it.

Lindy Schneider announced a $7500 Upper Yarra Community Enterprise sponsorship of the program’s adventure activities and camps.

Cave Hill mapped out for first stage

Transport cuts bring a fare go

PLANS for the first stage of the transformation of the Lilydale Quarry have been submitted to Yarra Ranges Council.

Sibelco Australia has asked the council to back the re-zoning of land adjacent to Hull Road to allow the development of more than 147 new homes to proceed.

Sibelco Australia’s Group development manager, Graeme Woodruff, said plans for the site, known as Cave Hill, had been informed by two rounds of community consultation, and local residents would have an opportunity to tell the council over the coming weeks if Sibelco had got it right.

“The community’s views have been thoroughly considered and we are confident they will be happy with what has been proposed,” Mr Woodruff said.

“However, we are checking in once more to ensure we haven’t missed anything and invite the community to view the final master plan over the next four weeks.”

By JESSE GRAHAM STUDENTS will benefit from cuts to public transport fares in the coming year, with around $5 a day set to fall for some transport users in the Yarra Ranges.

As of 1 January 2015, the public transport system will shift, with Zone 2 being abolished and prices for daily travel becoming uniform across regional and metropolitan areas.

Zone 2 currently covers the entire public transport system within the Yarra Ranges, on buses and trains, and a trip through the two zones can significantly increase a fare.

Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe said the change to the system would mean that anyone travelling from the Yarra Ranges into the city with a full-fare Myki would be set to save around $5.

The current Zone 1 and 2 full fare price for a whole day is $12.12, while a daily fare in Zone 1 alone is $7.16.

She said the changes would provide significant savings for families and those who took public transport frequently.

Healesville resident and William Angliss Institute student Renee Matthews said she was currently spending around $36 on public transport each week, taking the train three days a week.

Under the changed system, Ms Matthews will be saving around $15 a week on transport costs, and she said this

Healesville’s Renee Matthews said that reducing public transport fares Picture: JESSE GRAHAM would help students get around. 118405 would have a positive impact on students.

“I think it’s really good for students in particular, who are working less and have to spend more time going in and out of the city to study,” she said.

“It makes public transport more accessible, so everyone can afford it.”

The reduction of fares, which includes a provision for free tram transport

in the CBD, will cost $100 million a year, according to government estimates.

The Coalition announced the change on 26 March, but the Opposition said, due to the funding being allocated in the coming budget, that they would also be backing the change.

cember last year, we refined various aspects of the master plan, particularly for the first stage,” Mr Woodruff said.

“We have had further meetings with the immediate neighbours around the eastern boundary of Stage one to discuss how the shared path around the perimeter of the site can be designed to optimise both privacy and security. We have also reviewed the lot sizes and proposed density of the site,” he said.

Stage one is located in the southern part of the quarry site, partly bordered by Hull Road and the railway line.

The master plan also proposes open space, low and medium density housing, and a new landscaped shared path for cyclists and pedestrians.

The Lilydale Quarry is nearing the end of its economic life, with the last limestone scheduled to be removed in 2014.

Places Victoria general manager Metropolitan and Regional Renewal Joanne Wandel said the additional community information sessions over the next month would provide an opportunity for people to view the amended plans and learn more about the project.

Handcraft help

By JESSE GRAHAM RESIDENTS are being asked to pick up their sewing needles and craft supplies and help raise money for a good cause, with two Healesville residents campaigning to help kids in Cambodia.

A craft day will be held at the Old Badger Creek School building on Badger Creek Road on 26 April from 10am-3pm, and residents are being urged to come along with their craft of choice.

The purpose of the day will be to help raise money for wheelchairs and a medical worker for the Safe Haven Medical Outreach in Cambodia - a campaign taken up by Ruth Woods and Kerrie Meehan from Healesville.

Ms Woods said the Safe Haven

Medical Outreach serviced Siem Reap, a rural area of Cambodia, where children often did not receive medical attention, due to the location’s remoteness.

“Some of these children are severely disabled,” she said “They might have cystic fibrosis, or something dire and quite lifethreatening.”

After meeting with the charity group Wheelchairs for Kids, Ms Woods and Ms Meehan decided they would help raise enough funds for 10 wheelchairs and a medical worker for the outreach for a year.

Their fund-raising goal is $8000, and Ms Woods said the craft day would be a great occasion to help others while enjoying a networking and craft day.

“We’re providing a space for people to come and talk, and we’ll be talking about the program,” she said.

The craft day costs $25 to enter, which includes morning tea and lunch.

Visitors are asked to bring their own crafts to work on, and bookings are essential.

To book for the craft day event, call Ruth Woods on 0409 396 281.

Another fund-raising event will be held on 2 May at Olinda’s Cuckoo Restaurant, which offers a fourcourse smorgasbord meal for $60.

For more information, call Russell on 0414 600 721.

HISTORY can be a serious business, but Peter Preuss says there’s a place in history for a more light-hearted approach.

The Woori Yallock teacher, vigneron and lover of local history looks at folklores and the origins of place names in his book ‘Healesville - What’s in a Name?’.

It’s a celebration of 150 years of Healesville’s places and people, with significant references to the region’s Indigenous history as seen in the naming of rivers, roads, townships and other landmarks in and around Healesville and beyond.

That it comes with a disclaimer is a nod to the “real historians” Peter says have let him know, kindly of course, that some of his notes are ‘questionable’.

“Never ever use the notes that follow as a reliable source of information,” he writes in an introduction to the book that reflects the author’s often quirky take on the subject.

What the book does is tell a compelling story and whet the appetite for more information on some of the little-known origins of the names that people see every day on everything from signposts to the mail in their letterbox.

Some are indisputable. Healesville for instance, is named after Richard Heales, Premier of Victoria between 1860 and 1861, and somewhat ironically, a denunciator of the ‘demon drink’.

“What would Heales think of the town with so many bars and pubs that bears his name and is surrounded by vineyards,” Peter said of the man who will feature prominently in this year’s 150th celebrations.

Just which Mary Marysville was named after is disputable. Peter provides three versions of events - one more speculative than the others!

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.

Young drivers won’t wake up to dangers YOUNG drivers are in denial about the road dangers right under their noses, according to research released this week as part of National Youth Week.

In a survey of young people between 16 and 24, results showed young drivers were less likely than older drivers to identify factors inside the car, such as talking on the phone, texting, drug driving, speeding and being distracted by passengers as safety hazards for a probationary driver compared to external factors - other drivers.

Drink-driving was the exception with younger people rating the danger from drink-driving as a higher risk than older drivers.

Genevieve Henderson, a vehicle accident lawyer with legal firm Slater and Gordon, said the firm researched 2000 young people.

“These internal factors included talking on a phone while driving 25 per cent of young people ranked this as the biggest danger facing Pplaters compared to 40 per cent of all ages - their own speeding (22 per cent versus 29 per cent) and distracting passengers (14 per cent versus 17 per cent).

“Younger people also tended to underestimate the dangers to Pplaters of drug driving (26 per cent, compared to 28 per cent of all Australians) and texting while driving (44 per cent versus 47 per cent).

“These results showed that young people are still grappling with emerging issues like mobile phone use and driving while drugged, and that our relevant road safety campaign messages or even the risks of penalties are yet to sink in,” she said.

Ms Henderson said younger respondents were more likely than older Australians to think some of the biggest risks to P-platers were outside the car.

“For example they ranked drivers who hoon (31 per cent versus 28 per cent), other motorists driving dangerously (9 per cent versus 6 per cent) and being a victim of road rage

Roads are most slippery when the first bit of rain hits.

A word of advice Inside - not a problem! 118557

The problem is outside. 118557 by another driver (7 per cent versus 3 per cent) higher than the respondents of other ages,” Ms Henderson said.

“What our findings suggest is that young people may be lacking self-awareness about their own actions behind the wheel, with many

of them believing that driving dangers are external to them and that other motorists are to blame.

“The sad fact is that Australia’s young drivers are over-represented in serious road crash statistics. They make up just 14 per cent of all licence holders, but are involved in about 25 per cent of serious incidents.

“While drivers of any age should look carefully at their behaviour on the roads, the sense of invincibility assumed by some young drivers, coupled with their limited experience, can be a dangerous mix.

“It is clear that young drivers benefit from support and education, particularly from an early age, to minimise their risky behaviours.

The divergence in relation to drink driving was an example. Ms said 54 per cent of all Australians rated drink driving as the number one danger to P-Platers, but the 1624 age group put it at 63 per cent.

“This could be proof that our younger generations are heeding long-running warnings around drink driving, warnings which they would have been exposed to throughout their entire life.”

Easter is one of the most deadly times on the roads and it’s just around the corner.

Here’s some of the Facebook Feedback the Mail got to our question “What’s the best piece of advice anyone’s given you on driving?”

Stoffels: Our twin daughters are on · Pam their learners and they’ve just finished getting 120 hours each and we are teaching them to drive to the conditions and you never know what’s coming around the next corner. Slow down, think and give other drivers some space.

Carrick: You don’t own the road, calm · Greg down and take it easy.

Jodie Harris: Stay at least three seconds · behind the car in front of you! You can check it using a tree or pole anything on the side of the road.

Rhodes: Leave early when you · Catharine are well rested, have regular stops, be patient. Be aware that other drivers will not always be as courteous as they should be.

Above all, drive to stay alive.

Wells: Never put yourself behind the · Julie wheel tired.

Bunny chocolate give-away KIDS will have an Easter treat this weekend, with the Easter Bunny visiting Healesville’s main street to give away chocolate and an egg hunt being held.

At 11am on Saturday 19 April, the Easter Bunny will patrol Healesville’s main street, giving away eggs to kids and passers-by throughout the morning.

At noon, the bunny will hop along to the Healesville Railway Station’s playground area for a special egg hunt, where kids can search the grassy areas and play equipment for sweet treats.

Healesville Chamber of Commerce organised the Easter Bunny’s appearance and Lisa Hennessy said

the bunny’s visit was a first-time event.

She encouraged residents and visitors alike to join in on the Easter celebrations.

Ms Hennessy said she hoped that having the much-fabled Easter Bunny visit would bring Healesville residents and those from further afield through the main street to see the town while enjoying some chocolate.

A barbecue will also be held at the train station and train rides will be available on the day.

The Easter egg hunt will be free of charge to all taking part.

Bryce Gellert, Tyra Donkin, Abby Gellert, Kalyn Donkin, Maya Donkin, Bailey Hennessy, Ellie Hennessy and Liam Gellert are excited about the Easter egg hunt on Saturday. 118605 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

CAR-LOVERS will have a reason to stay in the Yarra Valley over the Easter weekend, as a classic car club is set to bring its rides to Rochford.

On Easter Sunday, 20 April, about 40 classic Jensen cars will be on display at the Healesville winery, as the Jensen Car Club of Australia runs its yearly rally through the valley.

From 9.30am-noon, the cars will be parked and available for the public to take a peek, and club member Dudley Proudfoot said he’s excited to bring his cars down for the weekend.

“We hold a rally in a different part of the country every year,” he said.

“This year is Victoria’s turn, so we thought ‘where better to have it than the Yarra Valley?’”

Mr Proudfoot, who currently owns two Jensen Interceptors, said one of his favourite parts of driving in the area is travelling up the Black Spur from Healesville towards Marysville.

“It’s just beautiful, the winding roads, and it’s just so peaceful out here.”

He said that, when he lived in England, he had always dreamed of owning an Interceptor, which he said were expensive and a symbol of being rich and famous.

“I’ve owned three since!” he said.

A range of other Jensen models are expected at the rally, and the

Gemma Mahoney, 19, Quinn Marsh-Trombelli, 17, Sarah Bamford, 16, and Gemma Osmond, 18, launched The Big Picture at Upper Yarra Arts Centre in Warburton on Saturday 5 April as part of National Youth Week 2014.

The exhibition of almost 100 photographs and mixed-media works is an eclectic mix that reflects the individual styles and talents of the artists.

It also reflects their vision and appreciation of ‘the bigger picture’ in relation to the planet, its people and natural environment.

Gemma Osmond visited Kenya and Uganda in 2012 with 11 other young people and the proceeds of the sales of her work will go to Familia Moja Children’s Home in Kenya where their current campaign is to build a bakery.

Sarah is heading to Cambodia in November as part of World Challenge and will be spending time helping with house and drain building.

Her works will help fund works in Cambodia. Quinn will donate all the money from the sale of his photographs to the World Wildlife Fund.

“Nature, in all its various forms, whether it be plant or animal, are integral to our survival on this planet which gives so freely the inspiration to artists like me who are looking for it,” he said of his choice on where to ‘make and impact’.

Gemma Mahoney said she was moved by an article in the Mail in which Steels Creek woman Pam Verhoeven called for funds to help

her friend in Uganda who is working with St Isaac’s Training Centre caring for orphaned children.

Her art will help fund the purchase of land and stock.

“I am very taken by the idea of empowering people to become sustainable and self-sufficient, while offering so much to the community and orphaned children,” she said.

Claire Bamford from Catprint said the theme of Youth Week, ‘Our Voice. Our Impact’, hit a chord.

“Each of these young people has an individual voice, styles and tech-

niques, and in their art generally, but their impact is on a global scale because they are all raising money for international causes,” she said.

Seymour MP Cindy McLeish congratulated the artists who received a $2000 grant under the State Government’s National Youth Week funding.

“National Youth Week is a great opportunity to celebrate the enormous contribution that young people make to the Warburton community,” she said.

The exhibition and sale of works will run until the end of April.

Artists maintain their perspective LESS than a week remains for residents to see fresh artwork by local artists with Art at Linden Gate’s current exhibition coming to an end after Easter.

Fresh Perspectives, a painting exhibition featuring work from local artists Peter Black and Maria Fernandez, will end on Monday 21 April, giving residents the chance to stop by over Easter.

Gallery director Reggie Clark said that visitors to the exhibition can expect to see abstract works with vivid colours, and urged residents to come along and see the art before it is gone.

She said the pair paint locally at Myers Creek and their paintings’ abstract style took interpretation, but was easy on the eyes.

“There’s a lot to see,” she said. “(The paintings) are full of movement, life and inspiration - a fresh perspective on things.”

Ms Clark said that Ms Fernandez was relatively new at her craft, while Mr Black was more experienced.

She said they utilised different mediums canvas and paper, respectively.

She said all the paintings adorning the walls are available for sale, so visitors can appreciate the works on the gallery’s walls, before taking it home to hang on theirs.

Art at Linden Gate is located at 899 Healesville-Yarra Glen Road and is open from 10am-5pm from Friday to Monday, and Wednesdays for the school holidays.

For more information, call 9730 1861.

Line up for literature

By JESSE GRAHAM A BOOK bazaar will be coming to Yarra Glen early next month to raise money for local schools and community groups with items on sale for every literary taste.

The bazaar will be taking place at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall from 10am-4pm on Sunday 4 May, with local schools and community groups running stalls.

All money raised through the event will go to these groups, and Dixons Creek Primary School principal Sharon Walker said the money from

the school’s sales will go towards new books and setting up a new library room.

Ms Walker said the school had received books for the bazaar from all around the state, and that the stall would have more than 400 to sell at the event.

She said the school was raising money to match an $8500 grant the school had received for its library development and books.

With the school’s population rapidly increasing and mobile library services no longer available to most stu-

dents, Ms Walker said having new books and a new library was important.

The Yarra Glen Book Bazaar will also have DVDs and CDs on sale, and free children’s workshops will be run on the day, including puppet making, book making and story time.

Devonshire tea and a sausage sizzle will also be available for visitors.

For more information, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au

Dixons Creek Primary School students Tameka Fossey and Oscar Aquilina are looking forward to the Book Bazaar in Yarra Glen. 118576 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

MOVIES Action-packed political thriller mourless like Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

The Winter Soldier is effectively an action-packed political thriller about corruption and the ethics of surveillance and counter-terrorism.

The film is superbly-paced and incredibly suspenseful.

The drama carries a strong sense of shock and betrayal, as characters that are loved are under constant threat and a formerly heroic group in the Marvel universe is revealed as poisoned by conspirators.

But the film still achieves moral ambiguity, as it considers the balance needed between freedom and security.

Evans and Johansson have

excellent chemistry as loyal, professional friends, and also work well with newcomer Anthony Mackie as Falcon, a cool and well-developed wingman. The action is amazing, with powerful choreography and very creative stunts.

The Winter Soldier is an enigmatic, chilling figure, and veteran actor Robert Redford is surprisingly great playing against type as the other main villain.

Intelligent and compelling, The Winter Soldier is even better than the first Captain America film.

CAPTAIN America: The Winter Soldier is another outstanding entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

When global intelligence agency SHIELD is compromised from the inside, Steve Rogers (aka Captain America, played by Chris Evans) and his partner Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) are branded fugitives by their own organisation.

Unable to trust anyone, they are also trailed by a mysterious assassin called the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).

The Winter Soldier is quite a dark, serious comic-book film, but not grim and hu-

I STRONGLY oppose the council’s very shortsighted decision to close the Healesville tip, which will result in a massively increased amount of rubbish dumped on roadsides and in the bush.

A lot of rubbish already gets dumped near where I live, presenting an eyesore for residents and tourists, a hazard for native wildlife and a pollutant for our water supply.

No one appears to take any responsibility for cleaning this up since it remains where it was dumped, year in year out.

Without a local tip, the costs and inconvenience of disposing of rubbish legally will increase and the illegal option will become by far the easier and cheaper alternative for many.

I am not optimistic that the money saved by council will be redirected into clearing dumped rubbish.

Aline Scott-Maxwell, Healesville.

Dump this madness I HAVE lived on a property adjacent to the water catchment in Donna Buang Road, Panton’s Gap, for 37 years now and have been appalled time and time again by the human pigs who drive up the Don Road from Healesville to dump their disgusting rubbish over the side of Donna Buang Road into the water catchment or, if the catchment gates are locked, onto my property or else onto other nearby private forest properties.

I often take my truck and remove this rubbish myself so I don’t have to look at it when I go for a pleasant walk along Donna Buang Road, since the road or water authorities seem to have no interest in removing it, despite it sometimes being rotting animal flesh, asbestos as so forth (which I will not remove).

The moronic mentality of these dumpers is witnessed in, for example, the fact that they often leave their names and address in what they dump and this particular load even included an address book, which I have been tempted to hand to the police.

The point that I want to make is that the rubbish frequently appears when the tip is closed and so it does not take too much effort to work out where these miscreants - and probably many others who have never dumped before - will head for with loaded trailers if there is no tip at all in Healesville.

The losers will be water consumers, the natural environment, scenic tourism, local business and those of us who live in the ‘dumping grounds’ and, furthermore, the shire and other authorities who will be hounded to death by the likes of myself to do something about the deluge of dumping that will occur with no tip.

The proposal to close our tip is madness.

John Whiteoak, Pantons Gap.

Tip for rubbish plans CLOSE the tip?

It may supposedly save the (Yarra Ranges) Council $900,000 on paper, but it will cost the rest of us in numerous ways which town-based planners don’t seem to grasp.

The tip is a service to the community and given that we don’t get tip ‘passes’ any more when we pay our considerable shire rates, we should at least still be able to choose to go to the local tip when needed.

If there isn’t a tip within reasonable distance, guess where the trailer of rubbish goes?

Drive out to numerous dirt roads, our state forest tracks and back country roads in our shire and there you will see dumped rubbish, building rubble and garden weeds.

This problem will only increase when the tip closes. And, do we get something to replace the closed tip?

Perhaps four hard rubbish collections per year?

N. Lithgow, Healesville.

Questions need to be answered LIKE your journalist Jesse Graham, I also attended the meeting on 26 March organised by the Yarra Ranges shire to consider Healesville’s future.

I must say I was disappointed in the way the meeting agenda proceeded.

I make a few points.

Why, at ratepayers’ cost, was it necessary for the shire to pay for facilitators to run the meeting, surely we have a councillor with the expertise to chair a public meeting.

One thing all councillors should be able to do is chair a public meeting, it is one thing all councillors should educate themselves in doing.

I went along expecting the public to be given the opportunity to rise and express their opinion on the various issues as set out in a circulated agenda for example tourism, industry, housing development, environment, commercial development etc.

A limited time could have been allocated for each item, instead we were directed to sit at any

of the eight tables.

It reminded me of my primary school days when we played musical chairs as people moved from table to table.

This was clearly a ploy to dissipate the peoples’ power and curtail their democratic right to verbally express an opinion.

My own particular interest was to create more small industry in Healesville, to alleviate the need for the many people who have to travel out of Healesville in the early hours seeking work.

Small businesses are still the greatest employers in Australia.

I personally believe it is time that the Healesville Action Group consider forming a ratepayer organisation so ratepayers could collectively express strong views about issues affecting Healesville and also consider candidates.

Some of the issues they could bring to public debate would be to scale back the size of our current shire, propose the amalgamation of the old Healesville Shire with the old Upper Yarra Shire.

Mansfield Shire asked for a review and were successful in returning to their old boundaries.

They could also ask why was it necessary to have two parking inspectors in Healesville when my enquiries show no evidence of any organization requesting their attendance or could it be just a revenue raising exercise?

They could also ask why out of $100 million of house rate revenue, $50 million is spent on salaries, it would be rare for any business to spend 50 per cent of their revenue on salaries.

(Council annual report 2012/2013).

As a long-time resident, business person and former councillor (Healesville Shire) it is time, I believe, for all residents of Healesville and Upper Yarra to consider whether it is practical and efficient for our shire to stretch from the Black Spur to Kilsyth?

Ray Donkin, Healesville.

Giving with one hand...

IT IS with interest that I read the recent letter by the Member for Seymour celebrating the introduction of the Apprenticeship Travel Allowance Scheme which entitles apprentices who travel more than 100 kilometres to apply for up to $200 per year to help with their travel, meals and accommodation costs.

The Member for Seymour refuses to disclose that while introducing this scheme, her Coalition government abolished the previous Apprenticeship Accommodation Allowance.

The Napthine government’s new scheme is a poor substitute and, in fact, represents an 80 per cent cut for many apprentices who need to attend multiple training sessions per year away from home. Apprentices and TAFEs are being hit from all sides under the Napthine government.

This is yet another cut from a government which has shamefully slashed $1.2 billion over four years from TAFE in Victoria.

These cuts are the worst in Victoria’s history and has seen campuses close, courses being cut, over 2400 jobs lost and students hit with massive fee rises.

With youth unemployment at 17.5 per cent in Victoria’s north-east, including Seymour, the last thing our region needs is yet more cuts to apprenticeship support.

Apprentices are working hard to get the skills they need for future jobs in our region, but with this latest cut from the Napthine government, many apprentices from country areas will be struggling to access their training at all.

Sally Brennan, ALP candidate for Eildon.

No tick for current MP AS a new resident in the Lilydale area, I am very disappointed in the response of our local state member of Parliament to Daniel Andrews’s pledge to re-open Lilydale TAFE. I have been speaking to a lot of people in Coldstream and Lilydale, and every one of those people have expressed their concern about youth employment in our area.

The best way to address youth unemployment is to make sure young people have the skills they need to secure long-term work.

Why would you dismiss a plan to re-open the TAFE that served the area so well, not only as an education tool, but also as an immediate employer in the area (cleaners, bus drivers, shop attendants etc.).

I certainly know who I’ll be voting for at the next election and it won’t be the current member of parliament.

Lorie Werner, Coldstream.

All my love I WOULD like the people of Healesville to know how much I appreciate the good wishes I have received since being hit by a car recently.

I am slowly recovering but it’s a long process so thanks again. It’s because of times like this I love Healesville.

Joyce Rodway, Healesville.

Teen’s rigorous ride

By REBECCA BILLS THERE are not many 15-year-olds that would willingly leave home around 4am to begin a day of training.

But for young cyclist and Lilydale High Student Kelland O’Brian it is just second nature.

Continuing a winning spree at cycling track events around the state, O’Brian has his sights firmly set on the upcoming 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

Last month, O’Brian won gold at the oldest bicycle track race, the 2014 Austral Wheel Race which took him to the Junior State Criterium Championships where he placed fourth in the Junior Male under 17s.

“Dad got me into cycling at the start and then I’ve just moved my way through each different style of racing,” O’Brian said.

O’Brian said racing at the Austral Wheel Race was amazing and it was great to race in front of a big Melbourne crowd.

“A lot of really famous riders were riding there as well, and it was really awesome getting to race on the track and watch riders who have been in the Olympics and Commonwealth Games do there thing,” he said.

With the summer season of track riding coming to an end, O’Brian is now gearing up for the

winter season of road riding.

O’Brian’s mother Sandy O’Brian said he had adapted well to the rigours of balancing training and schooling.

“The school has been really supportive,” she said.

“He misses a little bit of school as he travels to Spotswood twice a week.

“Kel leaves home between 4am and 4.30am on those days to train with the Malaysian Cycling team’s strength coach Martin Girvan which means he doesn’t arrive at school until 9.30am on a good day, but he is doing very well.”

Ms O’Brian said to have watched her son achieve all he had within an 18-month period has been phenomenal.

“He loves it, he is really committed and I’m really proud of the way he encourages younger riders,” she said.

“He has a bit of an interesting road to get to the Commonwealth Games as that is not really a direct route, but he is certainly looking towards being a national representative at some point - there is still a long road ahead of him.

“The whole family is on board and he certainly has the potential to getting there, its just a matter of him continuing to love it along the way.”

Cricket prodigy’s glory

Sprint end to term

By KATH GANNAWAY STUDENTS from seven Yarra Valley schools came together to finish the first term at the Healesville District Annual Athletics Carnival at Don Road Sporting Complex.

St Brigid’s, Toolangi, Chum Creek Christmas Hills, Healesville, Dixons Creek and Badger Creek competed in athletics including sprints, discus, jumps and long-distance running with the winners qualifying for a place in the Division carnival later in the year.

Reece Smith set the pace for Healesville Primary School.

YARRA Junction’s young gun Quinton Hodgkinson is the toast of the Yarra Valley Cricket Association after securing the Association’s top individual honour, the THR Drummond Medal, awarded to the season’s best player in the premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield.

Hodgkinson topped off a remarkable post-Christmas run for the Eagles which saw their top three grades playoff in Grand Final action. Hodgkinson is a prodigious young talent who showed glimpses of his emerging skills in recent seasons, particularly with the ball in hand. This season has seen him emerge as a significant contributor with the bat also as he transformed himself from lower order basher to a reliable top order batsman.

During a turbulent period in the Eagles season heading into the midseason break, Hodgkinson, well supported by the reliable Dan Lever (equal third in the count) and the dynamic Cam Spaulding (top10), held firm and took his game to another level to lead his side to an unlikely Grand Final berth.

With 16 votes, the star held off a fast finishing Danny Adams (Coldstream) whose remarkable run with the bat post Christmas saw him finish one vote off the pace and saw him collect the honour of the DJ Strachan Shield batting average (643 runs at 49.46).

Three time Drummond Medallist Kane Jones (Mount Evelyn) tied with Lever in third place another vote adrift.

Healesville recruit Dylan Moore proved a valuable bowling option for the Bloods as he took out the bowling honours with 26 wickets at 10.36.

In a night for the competition’s young stars, Mount Evelyn’s emerging batting star Daniel Fraser collected the John Lane Memorial Trophy for the YVCA’s best player in VCCL Country Week.

To cap off a memorable season for the youngster, he was awarded a position in the YVCA Team of the Year.

Fraser was joined by Jones (captain), Lever, Spaulding, Adams (vice captain), Geoff Stock (Healesville), Daniel Mock (Woori Yallock), Andy Kay (Seville), Tim Dwyer (Seville), Ishara Amerasinghe (Seville), Matthew Stark (Coldstream) and Jarrod Bayliss (Coldstream).

To top off a changing of the guard, Launching Place’s leg spinning wonder kid Lochie Winter-Annette completed a fantastic season picking up the Keith Thompson Medal for the YVCA’s most outstanding achievement by a junior cricketer. This award was given on the back of an outstanding season in C Grade where the youngster helped his team into the grand final while collecting the C Grade bowling average with 31 wickets at 11.32.

Not to be outdone by the young bucks, Woori Yallock stalwart Julian

Smith took out his second VJ Haag Medal for the season’s best player in RA Finger Trophy. Smith showed all his experience and value to his young team as they returned to finals action after a disastrous 2012/13 season that saw the club forfeit the grade on numerous occasions. Smith finished on 11 votes, one clear of Seville’s experienced campaigners Roger Oates and Garth Woodford, his Woori Yallock team-mate Chris Webb, and Yarra Glen speedster David Wallace.

Clarke steals cross countr y YARRA RANGES Athletics held round two of the cross country season on Saturday morning at Lillydale Lake.

A large enthusiastic group of athletes enjoyed a run around a new course through the lake parklands.

Highlights of the day were the multiple efforts of Michael Clarke, acting as hare for two races including an exceptionally fast 2000 metres, and then ran a fast finishing third in the 3000 metres.

Others included Maddie Laven turning the tables on Zac Clarke over 1500 metres, a dominant run from Kiara Flavell in the 1000 metres, and some solid runs from Alex Van

Duuren, Ella and Lily Trevorrow and Ben Grimes.
