Helper needs help

By MELISSA MEEHAN

Lest we forget

Errol Barbour knowhow to finish the house.”

With so many medical appointments and given her parents’ ailing health, Julie had to give up work to care for all three.

She still finds time to volunteer one day a week at a local nursing home.

With no money left in the bank to complete the house, and given the rising medical costs, Julie agreed that they needed help.

“We don’t like having to ask for help,” she said.

“But living in a caravan when Errol is as sick as he is, isn’t good for him.

“We don’t need money, but it would be wonderful if some local tradespeople could donate their time to help us out.”

Anyone who can donate some time should email editor@ yvnews.com.au or contact 9751 9300 and the Mail will pass on details to the Barbour family.

DIXONS Creek bugler Tom Steele, pictured, played The Last Post at Yarra Glen’s Anzac Day service last Friday, before a large crowd of gathered locals. Mr Steele’s bugling marked the official close to the town’s service, which took place in front of the Yarra Glen RSL and Memorial Hall, with hundreds of people from the Yarra Glen area and surrounds standing silent. Multi-coloured wreaths coated the foot of the town’s war memorial by the end of the service, which took place after a march by community members and veterans along Bell Street. Locals and passers-by all applauded the marchers as they made their way down the street to pay their respects to those who served the country in armed conflict.

DIAGNOSED with a terminal illness and living in a leaky caravan Errol Barbour still doesn’t feel comfortable asking for help.

For years he has lent a helping hand to those broken down on the side of the road, or farmers struggling to get their pipes working but now Errol is down on his luck and needs them to return the favour.

He is a familiar face in Wandin and his motorbike is remembered by many from his journeys along the Warburton Highway.

In September 2012 he was diagnosed with liver cancer and is currently undergoing his third radiation treatment.

If that isn’t bad enough, he and wife Julie can’t move into their dream home because they say a dispute with a tradesman has left them unable to pay for the house to be completed.

Too sick to speak to the Mail when we visited the Gruyere property he and Julie call home, Errol maintained his wariness to ask for help.

They bought the block of land next to Julie’s parents’ place so they could care for them, now all that stands is a blue metal frame where their house should be.

“The house was already in motion when he got sick,” Julie said.

“So there was no going back.”

They already had all the fittings and fixtures, but needed a slab when they ran into the dispute with the tradesman.

“Then we needed to pay someone to fix it and we were already on a tight budget,” she said.

“Once the slab was down, Errol, myself, my daughter and a few neighbours put up the frame.

“But Errol often isn’t well enough, and we don’t have the

Ward u-turn

By JESSE GRAHAM WARD funds are set to be banned state-wide following a governmental report that praised Yarra Ranges Council, and community groups may feel the impact.

Councillor Discretionary Funds (CDFs) will be prohibited under the Local Government Amendment (Governance and Conduct Bill) 2014, which is set to go through Parliament in the coming month.

Discretionary Funds - also called ward funds - are given by councillors to community groups and individuals at short notice.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Fiona McAllister said a ban would be felt by small groups that needed funds urgently.

She said few councils in Victoria made use of CDFs but that they had their uses in getting money to community causes - such as local sportspeople competing in elite-level competitions - quickly.

Bowel cancer: early detection RESIDENTS are being urged not to fall behind with regular bowel cancer screenings and to take advantage of a Rotary program running next month.

The Rotary clubs of Healesville and Upper Yarra will both be working in partnership with local pharmacies throughout May to offer a $10 bowelscan bowel cancer screening test.

The test kit is available at Warburton, Yarra Junction, Woori Yallock and Healesville pharmacies, and is a self-testing kit, which uses stool samples over four days.

Doctor and Rotary Club of Healesville member, Ian Tinney, said that all people, particularly those over the

age of 50, should get yearly scans to detect potential signs of cancer.

“Lives will be saved purely because of this (test),” Dr Tinney said.

The test aims to detect bowel cancer and colorectal polyps, and is returned by residents to pharmacies after being completed - results are then delivered shortly afterwards to the residents, freeof-charge.

Rotary Club of Upper Yarra member Paul Coleman said the tests turned up a positive result last year, though this ended up being a minor polyp and not a cancer diagnosis.

Mr Coleman said that the test offered “cheap insurance” and gave residents the chance for early detection of

a potentially life-threatening condition.

“It’s a good thing - early detection is the way to go,” he said.

“For the price of it, it’s cheap insurance.”

In its early stages, bowel cancer has no symptoms, and is only detectable by screening methods, though symptoms can later be apparent.

Residents can pick up the $10 tests from participating pharmacies in Healesville, Warburton, Yarra Junction and Woori Yallock.

For more information, call Healesville Rotary president Rae Church on 5962 5164.

by the Local Government Inspectorate in October last year which assessed discretionary fund policies in 32 councils which still used them.

The report singled out Yarra Ranges Council as one of seven councils that demonstrated good ward fund practice.

However, it said that CDF programs generally exposed councils to integrity and transparency risks.

Following the report, Murrindindi Shire Council chose to discontinue its CDF program.

The bill will also clarify roles, with new councillors required to complete an induction program and new offences added for unlawfully directing council staff.

The mayor will also have the ability to evict unruly councillors from meetings if they ignore warnings.

Yarra Ranges Council’s ward fund policies can be viewed at www.yarraranges. vic.gov.au.

Cr McAllister acknowledged that there was a need for transparency and accountability in the way that councils spend money, and said it was too early to assess the impact of the legislation.

“There’s strong support at council for quick-release funds for smaller community needs,” she said.

“If the bill goes through, we will look at how we can still provide for smaller needs while being compliant.”

Should the bill pass, all money being spent by the council will be considered for a formal resolution, rather than using discretionary processes, in an effort to make funding allocations more transparent and accountable.

The ban on CDF policies will not reduce funding available from councils but instead re-directs how they are allocated to community groups and individuals.

The bill follows a report

Healesville Guardian 28 April 1934 Healesville Links Up with League of Youth A FLUENT speaker with a great love of our nation Mr A.J. Swaby, State Superintendent of the League of Youth of Australia, addressed a representative gathering in the council chamber on Tuesday night. He outlined the aims and advantages of this valuable new organisation which is rapidly sweeping the country. The organisation was brought into being a short time back as the result of a leading article written for ‘The Age’ by Mr Ambrose Pratt.

Mr Pratt said that the League of Youth was primarily formed with the object of including in the heart of every true Australian a love and appreciation of the priceless assets of the Australian bush and a resolve for their preservation. The League of Youth stood for the creation of a natural spirit to guard our great assets of beauty. The first move to be made was to enlist sufficient local people to form groups and promote civic pride.

Cumberland Falls - Minister urges protection of Beauty Spot THERE is no more picturesque spot in Victoria than the Cumberland Valley with its meeting of the waters of the Cumberland and Cora Lynn Creeks, its beautiful falls and cascades, its ferns and bowers and giant native trees. Seven miles from Marysville it is a source of great pleasure to hundreds of visitors. But during the summer the flow of water through the valley has been greatly diminished.

Residents attribute this to the diversion of water for mining purposes, but the Mines Department considers it to be due to seasonal conditions. The local residents are so concerned that they have made representations to government.

To inspect the position himself, the Minister

of Mines and Works visited the locality on Monday and stated that he regarded the Cumberland as a very valuable asset and nothing should be done to destroy it.

Warburton Mail May 1 1964 Anzac Day March at Warburton DESPITE overcast skies and a strong wintery breeze, 50 members of the Warburton RSL assembled at the RSL Hall. They formed an impressive parade to the township memorial on Anzac Day. Round-Up MR and Mrs D. Broadway, who recently disposed of their bakery business at Warburton, paid a brief visit to the town on Monday.

Miss Jeanette Forsyth, a former Warburton lass who made fame on TV and her chaperone Mrs Rita Forsyth are certainly having a marvellous time on the first stages of their world tour, judging by the letter received by Mrs Grace Paucoe, Mrs Forsyth’s sister.

The Upper Yarra High School Parents’ and Citizens’ Association suggests there will be some great activities coming up - a dance in the Gladysdale Hall, a football match between Wesburn under-16 boys team and the High School followed by a dance in the Yarra Junction Hall at night.

The Football Shield is to be presented at the dance also ‘Miss Upper Yarra High School’ will be chosen.

A number of people have indicated the need of a Youth Fellowship for teenagers and young people. As a result young people are invited to attend an inaugural meeting of such a fellowship on Saturday 9 May at St Mary’s Hall, Warburton.

Members volunteered their time and muscle-power to collecting their batteries over the weekend.

Money raised from recycling the batteries was delivered back to the Men’s Shed, and Mr Miller said he would like to see the battery collection become a yearly event for the community.

He said residents and businesses that missed out on the collection can still have their batteries collected for recycling, by either calling 0427 171 486 or visiting www.yarraglen. com/mensshed and using the contact form.

Batteries can also be dropped off at the Yarra Glen Men’s Shed at the Cooper Pravilion, 16 Anzac Avenue, Yarra Glen.

YARRA Glen residents will be able to dispose of old car batteries as part of an inaugural campaign by the local Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed to help recycle old power packs.

Members of the Yarra Glen and District Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed ran a battery collection weekend on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 April, driving around the area to pick up depleted car, truck and tractor batteries.

Over the two days, around 500 batteries were collected and delivered to a local recycling business, and the group will be continuing to pick up batteries from areas they may have missed.

George Miller said there was a great response from the community over the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an overwhelming response, we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover the whole area,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took them to a metal recycling place, where they recycle the whole of the battery.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Miller said he brought the idea to the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed around a year ago, before it was officially up and running, and that all the members embraced the concept.

He said car, truck and tractor batteries could often be left piling up in sheds and on properties, due to the costs associated with taking them to be recycled.

EMERGENCY services crews are being hailed for rescuing an elderly man in Kinglake last week, after he disappeared for two days, sparking a man-hunt that involved crews from around the area.

On Monday 21 April, a 76-year-old Eaglemont man went missing from a family property in Kinglake.

Concerns were sparked for the man, who could only speak Italian and suffered from dementia, and emergency services quickly rallied to help track down the man.

Healesville SES members were called out with emergency services crews, sending along a four-person crew for the search on Monday, which turned up no results.

Additional members

were called upon to assist the following day, with SES members from areas as far as Northcote taking part in the search.

At around 11.30am on Wednesday, Victoria Police Air Wing spotted the man in steep terrain, before Search and Rescue came to his aid.

He was found just two kilometres from the property he went missing from.

Deputy Controller and media liaison officer with Healesville SES Geoff Stott said that the man was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very tiredâ&#x20AC;? after the ordeal, but was well and uninjured. He said all people involved in the search were thanked by the elderly man.

A Victoria Police spokesperson thanked everyone who provided information and assisted with the search.

and represented a moment frozen in time. The project was funded by the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund and the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, and created by the Triangle Arts Group with the assistance of members and volunteers.

A KANGAROO was released into the wild on the weekend, after suffering minor injuries when it became trapped in a Healesville pool.

The 45-kilogram male grey kangaroo, jumped the fence of a Fernbank Road property and ended up in a pool where it was stuck for over an hour on Thursday 24 April, before homeowner Jenny Low discovered it.

A Healesville Sanctuary spokesperson said the kangaroo might have been in the pool for a number of hours, as the owner was out, and Wildlife Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manfred Zabinskas rescued the animal with help from neighbours. Worries were raised about the animal possibly contracting pneumonia due to its long dip in the pool, and Sanctuary workers and Mr Zabinskas helped restore the kangarooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body temperature.

Hot water bottles, hair-dryers, wool blankets and heat-packs were used to help the kangaroo, who also had bleeding paws and damaged claws from trying to get out of the pool.

A Sanctuary spokesperson said the dunked and distressed kangaroo had been nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The animal was kept for two nights for observation, before being declared healthy and released back into the wild on Saturday 26 April.

A RECOVERY project that drew together more than 1000 helping hands was officially opened in an iconic Marysville location last week.

The 1000 Hands project was officially opened at Gallipoli Park in Marysville on Thursday 24 April

by Triangle Arts Group (TAG) president Lisa Nolte, Murrindindi mayor Margaret Rae and Minister for Bushfire Response, Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells.

The newly-completed project features over 1000 hands cast in concrete by community members, following the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009, on 780 concrete tiles.

The tiles, each weighing two kilograms, are all placed on low walls ringing the lake in Gallipoli Park and a newly-constructed amphitheatre area overlooking the water.

Ms Nolte said TAG organised the project as part of the recovery from the bushfires, which left the town and surrounding areas decimated over five years ago.

She said the group decided to gather hands from people in the community, whether they were locals, workers in the area, or people helping to assist the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebuilding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we really wanted people to feel with this project is that they had a part of it and they were a part

The 12-kilometre track from Healesville to Yarra Glen has been a long time coming for the Yarra Valley, and thanks to the funding from the Ab-

The Yarra Valley Railway promises to be one of the biggest boosts for our local economy in recent times. We only need to look over the Dandenongs at Puffing Billy to see how much of a positive impact tourist railways can have in a local area.

The Yarra Valley has a reputation as one of Melbourne’s best tourist destinations. However, too many visitors currently only come for the day to visit a few wineries, eat at a restaurant or perhaps watch a concert.

The railway will help to entice visi-

DURING the 2013 Federal Election campaign, I pledged that if elected, an Abbott Government would contribute $3.56 million to the Yarra Valley Railway.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I joined Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Jamie Briggs at Healesville railway station to sign the contracts, releasing $3.56 million to the Yarra Valley Railway project.

This is fantastic news for the region.

Also present to witness the signing in the old rail house was councillor Jim Child, who strongly and effectively promoted this project as mayor, as well

Olivia’s making news

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE Primary School student Olivia Marshall got to live a day as a reporter earlier this month, after she topped hundreds of others in an ABC competition.

Olivia, 10, entered 774 ABC Melbourne’s Kid Correspondent competition, where kids were asked to explain their favourite Dreamworks character she chose Mort the Lemur from Madagascar as her favourite.

After being selected as the winner of around 500 entries, Olivia worked with the radio station as a ‘Kid Correspondent’ to cover the opening of an exhibition at ACME in Melbourne on 10 April, focusing on the company and its animations.

She even got to cut the red ribbon with giant scissors to officially mark the opening.

Through covering the event, Olivia not only met Rafael Epstein and Red Symons, but famous actor and musician Tim Minchin and even got to interview Dreamworks’ CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg for a radio segment later that day.

Olivia told the Mail that the competition gave her some valuable experience and insight into the life of a reporter, and said it could be the path she takes later in life.

“After that, I thought I would not mind doing something like that (reporting), because I hadn’t really known what I want to be yet,” she said.

Her mum, Naomi Wilson, said that Olivia was “blown away” by the experience, and said the Grade 5 student was already a keen and prolific writer.

Inquir y chief to explain report

By KATH GANNAWAY

Healesville Primary School’s Olivia Marshall got a look into the life of a journalist earlier this month. 119351 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY “At the beginning, she didn’t have any idea about what being a journalist meant - by the end of the day, she was blown away by it all,” she said.

“She does really enjoy writ-

ing - she always has.

“It’s opened her eyes to the possibility of journalism.”

STATE Liberal MP Georgie Crozier will visit Healesville in May to provide a first-hand explanation of the findings and recommendations of the government’s inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations.

Ms Crozier chaired the historic inquiry which included submissions from Healesville victims of convicted Catholic paedophile priests David Daniel and Paul Pavlou.

The report was handed down in November 2013 and some of the recommendations have already been enacted.

Seymour MP and Liberal candidate for the new seat of Eildon Cindy McLeish organised the meeting on 12 May saying the report was of interest to people in Healesville.

Ms McLeish said strengthening the criminal law, making access to civil litigation easier for victims and establishing a new independent avenue for victims were just some of the key recommendations.

“I know this report is of interest to many in the Healesville and wider community, some of whom had the enormous courage to come forward with their own personal accounts,” she said.

“For this we can be very grateful as it strengthened the fabric and outcome of the inquiry.”

Ian Lawther and Pam Krstic are among Healesville residents connected with victims of Daniel and Pavlou who lobbied for the inquiry and for the Federal Government’s Royal Commission which is currently underway.

They have cautiously welcomed the public meeting, saying anything that gets people talking about the issue is a good thing.

Mr Lawther said he hoped people, especially those who don’t know what happened, and what needs to happen to protect children in the future, will take the time to attend.

“I hope people will go along and see what this was all about in the Healesville context and that they may gain a broader understanding of the issues,” he said.

Ms Krstic, who was a teacher at St Brigid’s Catholic School when both men were the parish priests, said while discussion was welcome, there needed to be support on hand when such a potentially traumatic topic is opened up for discussion.

“In a community where there has been abuse, you would

hope various community organisations that might be around to support people would be at the meeting,” she said.

“If the audience is ordinary people who just want to know, then you could maybe have a meeting without this sort of support but if there are victims, perhaps some who have not disclosed, parents of victims, or others who are affected, then you need to have strategies in place for information and for support,” she said.

Ms McLeish told the Mail on Monday that Ms Crozier was very aware of the sensitivities and the impact on individuals and communities and that there would be information available about support on the night.

The Healesville forum comes as the Federal Government’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is calling on survivors of child sexual abuse to come forward and share their stories.

The Parliamentary Child Abuse Inquiry Healesville Forum is on Monday 12 May at the Darron Honey Centre of the Healesville Uniting Church from 6.30pm to 8pm.

Further information is available from Ms McLeish’s office on 5799 2760.

Sheds can be even better APPLICATIONS are now open to improve existing Men’s Sheds across Victoria, with funding available to incorporated not-for-profit organisations and local councils.

Seymour MP Cindy McLeish announced on 3 April that grants of up to $30,000 had now been made available to help local communities redevelop and modify existing Men’s Sheds.

Ms McLeish has encouraged local community groups with existing Men’s Sheds to apply

Opinion

for the latest round of grants from the Victorian Coalition Government’s Strengthening Men’s Sheds initiative.

“Men’s Sheds have been shown to improve men’s health and well-being by involving men in activities that develop their skills and build social connections,” Ms McLeish said.

The grants can be utilised for refurbishments for expanding activities due to a growing need or community demand, modifications to increase disability access, or modifications to meet OHS standards.

“Applications that demon-

strate strong support from the community, through local council, neighbourhood house or local learning centre endorsement will certainly be considered favourably,” Ms McLeish said.

“The Coalition Government is a great supporter of the Men’s Shed movement, which plays a significant role in the lives of many Victorian men.”

The government has provided funding to build 41 new sheds and refurbish 36 others across the state.

Applications for grants close on Friday 27 June.

On board for better buses AS A frequent user of McKenzies buses travelling between Healesville and Lilydale I note that on week days there are 21 buses (19 local and two Eildon buses).

It is a good service, though it would be better if a bus met every train.

During the day and evening the Lilydale trains run every 30 minutes.

On Saturday the bus service is less frequent with 10 local buses and one Eildon bus, yet during the day the trains run every 20 minutes.

This bus service is barely satisfactory.

Sunday sees only five local buses and one Eildon bus for the whole day, yet again the trains run every 20 minutes.

This makes the train service very useful but the bus frequency is totally unacceptable.

If more trains are required during the day at weekends then far more weekend buses are needed too.

Research has shown that bus use increases during the day when buses run later into the evening. This is for the simple reason that people are willing to take the bus during the day because they are confident that they will get home in the evening.

Buses need to run later into the evening to give Healesville locals the same level of service

that is accorded to people living closer to Melbourne.

My observation is that the Healesville-Lilydale bus service is well patronised.

The McKenzies bus drivers are excellent and look after their passengers.

What we need, however, is a more frequent service.

Andrew Blair, Healesville.

Truckies’ disrespect IT WAS extremely disappointing that the noise of log trucks in the main street detracted from the solemnity of the Dawn Service on Anzac Day in Healesville.

Why is logging so important that it needs to continue so early in the morning on one of Australia’s most important and sacred days?

This shows a lack of respect and is very unAustralian.

Where is their Anzac spirit?

At the very least an apology needs to be made to the RSL and to those other local people who were showing reverence to fallen family members.

‘Lest We Forget’ Peter Broman, Healesville.

Tribute tradition kept alive

By JESSE GRAHAM HUNDREDS of community members and war veterans gathered to pay their respects to soldiers past and present at a number of Anzac Day services last Friday.

At 5.30am on Friday 25 April, hundreds descended on the Healesville RSL, braving near-zero temperatures to take part in the annual Dawn Service.

Master of Ceremonies Bob Burgess ran the early morning service, where Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister spoke about the importance of the Anzacs and their egalitarian values.

“Anzac Day is a time when Australians and New Zealanders all around the world take time to pay tribute to brave Australians who left their homes and families to fight for the values we hold dear - democracy, equality, liberty and fraternity,” she said.

Barely a complaint was heard about the cold, and the

crowd stood solemnly while Healesville High School captains Daniel Garth and Molly Brown read poems connected to World War I. Wreaths were laid at the RSL’s new cenotaph, which featured a memorial flame and two stone monoliths, before The Ode was read by Bob Gannaway, and John Stanhope played the Last Post on bugle.

Community members then planted poppies in front of the memorial and formed a line that wove through the venue to get a traditional gunfire breakfast, before the town’s Anzac Day march and service began at 10am.

Meanwhile, another march took place in Yarra Glen, where hundreds of veterans and community group members made their way down Bell Street, to the applause of locals who lined the sides of the street.

The marchers then joined many others in front of the Yarra Glen RSL and Memorial Hall for the official Anzac Day service, which was conducted

by Yarra Glen RSL president Ted Bowling.

Paul William Ray performed the emotional song, I Was Only Nineteen to the crowd, while students from Yarra Glen, Yering, Dixons Creek and Christmas Hills primary schools spoke about the significance of Anzac Day. The Anzac Day address was conducted by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN)’s Lieutenant Commander Adam Shortis, who praised all those who contributed to the Gallipoli campaign and who have served the country since.

Yarra Glen’s service finished with a recitation of The Ode by Mr Bowling, The Last Post played by Dixons Creek’s Tom Steele, a prayer of remembrance and the Yarra Glen Primary School Choir performing the national anthem.

One of the most poignant images from the day was of medal-emblazoned Bob Dowal, who saluted as Mr Steele played The Last Post and Reveille.

Ser vices honour fallen heroes

Veteran John Hoskin paid respects at Wandin Yallock. 119352

FROM dawn through to dusk, the sacrifice of men and women who bravely fought for their country over the past century was remembered at Anzac Day services along the Warburton Highway.

Hundreds gathered in the half light of dawn at Millgrove and Yarra Junction, in a ceremony that found its inspiration in the long-standing practice for soldiers on the battlefield to be alert at one of the most favoured times for an attack.

Services at cenotaphs at

Wandin Yallock, Yarra Junction and Warburton reflected today’s communities with schools, sporting and service clubs, Federal and State MPs, Yarra Ranges Council councillors, RSLs, Scouts, Guides and generations of families with and without immediate connections to their district’s servicemen and women, paying tribute.

In the afternoon, the annual Anzac Day Shield clash between Warburton and Healesville started with The Ode and finished as the sun set with Warburton claiming the 2014 shield.

Returned servicewoman Joy Milk headed the Warburton march in style in a classic Fairlane. 119352

Young people and families made up much of the huge attendance at Yarra Junction. 119352

Top violin concert

By JESSE GRAHAM CONCERTS at Coomalie will continue this weekend, with the second in a series of musical events taking place in a Healesville, house-concert format.

Rebecca and Hanna Galbraith will perform as a violin duo in a one-off concert at Coomalie in Badger Creek on Sunday 4 May. Starting at 2.30pm, the pair, who are both music captains at St Margaret’s in Brunswick, will be performing a number of internationally acclaimed pieces at the house concert.

From John Sebastian Bach’s Concerto for two violins, through to Spanish,

French, Hungarian and American pieces

by Sarasate, Massenet, Bartok and Gershwin, the duo will play a mix of versatile violin tunes.

Both performers have completed Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Diplomas, and Rebecca has her Licentiate.

Rebecca and Hanna are the second performing group in the Concerts at Coomalie series, which runs for six months and features a different group or performer playing their speciality at the house.

Coomalie owners Brian and Ursula Blake organised the series as a means to expose young professional musicians to

a wider audience and give them a platform, while opening their living space to the public to enjoy classical music.

Over 12 musicians will take part in the series before it concludes, and the first concert on 30 March saw a crowded venue, with 55 attendees - the capacity of Coomalie is around 60.

Entry to the concert on Sunday 4 May is $25 or $20 for pensioners and fulltime students.

Gillies exposes political foibles

Max Gillies. 119298_01

POLITICIANS such as Bob Hawke and Andrew Peacock couldn’t escape the razor wit of Max Gillies in the ’80s, and there’s no reason to presume the current crop of pollies are any less venerable - vulnerable!

Yarra Valley audiences will find out when Gillies, one of Australia’s best loved political satirists comes to Healesville in May with ‘Once Were Leaders - an Evening with Max Gillies’.

Gillies’ cutting edge insights into the foibles of political leaders had audiences both laughing and crying in hit shows such as The Gillies Report and No Country for Old PMs. The question he asks in 2014 is, Is Australia suffering a leadership drought?

And other big questions: there was a time when politicians could inspire us, but were they really any better than the current crop? Is it a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same?

Gillies discards the make-up and wigs in this show for a rich collection of pen-portraits and invites audiences, new and old, to join him at The Memo as he shares his memories of a life spent on the fringes of power-mining the archive for his favourite moments.

Once Were Leaders is on at The Memo in Healesville on Saturday 10 May. Phone 1300 368 333 to book.

Focus on the war effort of women

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE residents have less than a week to view a special display at the local library, which focuses on women’s involvement in major wars.

The display has been in place at the Healesville Library for the month of April, in the lead-up to Anzac Day, and features a number of uniforms, books and trinkets from the first and second world wars, along with those from Vietnam War. The historical display, put together by local Rod Wilson, demonstrates the involvement of women in all of the major wars, with real uniforms worn and

equipment used in the war on display.

Uniforms from the Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS), the Women’s Royal Australian Navy Service (WRANS), Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF), Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS), Volunteer Aid Detachment (VAD), Australian Women’s Land Army (AWLA) and Red Cross uniforms from the world wars are on display. The Red Cross uniform even comes accompanied with some of the kit that belonged to its owner, Staff Nurse Louisa Bicknell, who was the first nursing casualty for Australia in World War I. The AANS and VAD uniforms were worn by Australian ladies who served at

Gaza Ridge in Egypt during the Tobruk and El Alamein fighting - the hospital was responsible for all casualties from the frontlines in those campaigns.

The display was put up to tie-in with Anzac Day, and commemorates the work undertaken by women in a range of fields to assist in the war efforts. During World War II, 24,026 women served in the AWAS. The exhibition will be ending around Friday 2 May, giving residents a few more days to have a look before the historical pieces are taken down to make way for a new display.

Harmony for all ages at this year’s festival. 119299

Indigenous flavour adding to festival

By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON Harmony Festival 2014 will have a strong Indigenous element, a deeper focus on interfaith discussions of spiritual themes and a wide range of children’s activities.

The four-day festival will open on Friday16 May with an official Welcome to Country, film, yoga, art workshops, storytelling and the opening night concert.

The festival reflects the wonderful warmth with which the Warburton community embraces diverse cultural experiences and opens multiple windows of opportunity for others to share unique, beautiful and inspiring experiences.

Over the following three days, there will be interfaith discussions on harmony themes with leaders from the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Hindu faiths in attendance, community concerts, talks on topical issues led by religious elders, meditation sessions and forest and river walks.

Indigenous leaders including artists, writers and storytellers are part of a strong Indigenous base for the festival.

Other spiritual leaders and thinkers will bring their unique world views to the festival in diverse and thought-provoking ways.

Organising director Keith Simons said the inclusion of a deep

Indigenous foundation for the festival was exciting.

“Harmony Festival Indigenous arts is intended to directly engage festival audiences in arts activity, teaching and sharing historical and modern-day Indigenous perspectives in the visual arts, music and storytelling and exposing local residents and visitors to unique cultural experiences,” he said.

He said the approach taken to the Welcome to Country ceremony would “break the mould” with the way things such as the Welcome to Country ceremony are conducted and endeavour to create a richer and deeper experience for participants and audiences.

Ticketing for this year’s festival will also be more inclusive with day and weekend passes available for adults and children.

“At most times, multiple events will be running concurrently, so visitors will be able to choose which forum, film or workshop appeals to them most at any given time,” Mr Simons said.

The festival is inclusive, unique, dynamic and joyful with people and activities aimed at stimulating, inspiring and transforming participants.

WES Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel is a rare treat.

Ralph Fiennes stars as Gustave H, the concierge of the Grand Budapest Hotel.

When his elderly lover Madame D is murdered, Gustave clashes with her family over her will, and he and his lobby-boy protege Zero (Tony Revolori) enter a series of hijinks and escapades for the possession of a valuable painting bequeathed to Gustave.

Every moment of The Grand Budapest Hotel is a sensory and emotional delight.

Fiennes and Revolori both deserve Oscar nominations for Grand Budapest.

Gustave is a wonderful anti-hero; he may be vain and snobbish, but he emanates such an infectious passion and kindness even in the darkest circumstances.

Revolori is only 17, but the two stars already feel like kindred spirits, as they have remarkable chemistry as colleagues with deep, brotherly respect for each other.

Grand Budapest is a touching buddy picture, mystery film and whimsical caper all in one. The humour is clever and natural, making

great use of the extensive ensemble cast, and the pacing is brisk.

The opulent visual design, which sticks to exquisite miniatures and set design rather than CGI, is breathtaking.

So what if the plot is a little under-explained here and there? Grand Budapest is such a visually stunning, irresistibly charming and uplifting film that this hardly matters.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is almost impossible not to love.

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.

Hoons to the rescue

By MELISSA MEEHAN AN IDEA born in Lilydale could make the difference between life and death for someone injured in a car accident.

Last week Lilydale SES volunteers demonstrated how seized hoon cars will assist in Jaws of Life training for road accident rescues.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells and Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe attended the exercise which saw two abandoned hoon cars that have been seized by Victoria Police ripped apart by Lilydale SES Unit volunteers as they practised car crash rescues.

The idea is the brainchild of Lilydale SES volunteer and local paramedic Shaun Caulfield.

“I saw a story on the news about police being able to seize hoon cars,” he said.“And it seemed like a waste to have them squashed into scrap metal when the SES and CFA are scratching to get cars to train on.”

So Mr Caulfield put the idea to MP Christine Fyffe while she was visiting to have a look at a new truck.

“She seemed to like the idea and got on the phone straight away,” he said.

“It’s great for us because we are able to train on cars that we would normally be going out to.

“We used to rely on donations, and they were great, but the newer model cars have different metals and mechanics - so we’ll be better prepared.”

Lilydale SES had been to 1000 call-outs in the past decade and while there are fewer crashes each year, Mr Caulfield said being able to train was priceless.

He said that a few finer details were being worked out about who pays for the cars to be transported from the impound yards to the local emergency crews.

“At the end of the day these are what we need to train on,” he said.

Ms Fyffe said that she was thrilled that the minister was able to cut through the red tape quickly.

“One car can be three training sessions - knowing what to do could be the difference between life and death,” she said.

Police saturate roads

By KATH GANNAWAY

Lilydale SES crews led by Shaun Caulfield gave a demonstration on how they would use the former hoon cars.

Pictures: MELISSA MEEHAN “It’s a wonderful idea.”

Mr Wells said: “Last year, the Victorian Coalition Government was pleased to announce its support for a Victoria Police initiative that will see forfeited or abandoned hoon cars provided to CFA and SES for Jaws of Life training.

“For the first time, SES volunteers and CFA members will have access to an ongoing supply of cars that can be used to simulate the rescue of a person trapped in a car.

“Previously, these agencies had to rely on donations from wreckers or the local community and, while gratefully received, these vehicles were often not representative of the more modern types of vehicles that are encountered by road rescue crews.”

Hoons who refuse to pay their fines and impoundment costs at the expiry of the impoundment period will have their vehicle deemed abandoned and it will become the property of Victoria Police.

The Road Safety Act 1986 gives the Chief Commissioner of Police the authority to sell or otherwise dispose of a motor vehicle that is subject to a forfeiture order.

YARRA Ranges police are punching above their weight when it comes to enforcing safety on the roads, and that’s a situation Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol’s Sergeant John Morgan is pretty pleased with.

Yarra Ranges, with three major highways and hundreds of kilometres of mountain roads is loaded with ‘high risk’ areas not only for the thousands of tourists to the region, but for the day-to-day local drivers.

Over Easter into Anzac weekend, Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol and local police have been highly visible with the aim of keeping drivers on the right side of the road laws.

Not everyone was. All up, they detected 485 offences, nine for exceeding the prescribed concentration of alcohol - above the limit.

So far - as of Friday, it’s worked. No fatalities.

Yarra Ranges Police Service Area (PSA) is fifth in the state out of 54 PSAs when it comes to enforcement activity and second in terms of the number of preliminary breath tests that have been carried out.

“That’s a remarkable achievement when you consider some of these PSAs have three highway patrols where we have only one,” Sgt Morgan said.

“We’ve breath-tested 8153 people, second to Bendigo which did 8166 13 above us.”

Clearly, Bendigo is a heavyweight in the PSA stakes.

Other PSAs include Maroondah which breathtested 4021 people, and Knox, 3108.

It’s about having a presence and using it.

“All the guys had their rest days cancelled,” Sgt Morgan said. “We have four cars on the road and a motor bike, but it’s not just the Highway Patrol, it’s all the stations assisting in relation to traffic enforcement.”

In terms of the ultimate goal, Sgt Morgan said it was not just about ‘the toll’.

“We don’t just look at fatals. Whenever we do any of our intelligence, we don’t base it on fatals but on serious injury collisions and look at what can we do about that; what do we need to do.”

“Certainly, I’m happy with the effort Yarra Ranges is putting in to reducing serious injury collisions and fatalities,” he said.

“From our point of view, we want to be seen, want to be highly visible and, hopefully that’s going to lead to drivers being more compliant to road laws.”

Park hosts Easter fun

By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON Caravan Park was the epicentre of fun over Easter.

Hundreds of visitors poured in from all around Victoria joining park residents and other Warburton families for a great weekend of fun, games, music and lots of Easter eggs.

The wintry weather was dealt with with blazing of campfires and wood-fired pizza while, almost on cue, the sun broke through for the games and Easter egg hunt on the Saturday and was brilliant for Sunday’s open-air concert.

Warburton Primary School ran the sausage sizzle this year and bands included Yarra River Band and Ruckus with guest artists Wilbur Wilde and Peter Brocklehurst.

The annual event raises funds for community groups with proceeds from this year’s event going to support local sporting groups.

Park residents Charlene Hosemans, Annie McDiarmid and Diane Boscher came out winners in the adult section of the decorated Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY bike competition. 119296

Silver Friends plan for gold

By KATH GANNAWAY AS the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater (FoHH) approach 25 years in their ongoing efforts to save Victoria’s faunal (bird) emblem from extinction, the group is aiming, through a series of articles, to lift the profile of their work, celebrate their achievements and look ahead to the next 25 years ... and beyond.

It’s not surprising that this first article reflects on the beginning with a question.

“Who would have thought that the helmeted honeyeater would still be around today?”

Well, who would have, when in the early days of the recovery program, a computer model predicted that if nothing was done the bird would be extinct by 2000?

The enthusiasm and indomitable spirit of the people who started the Friends group on 23 May 1989 has had much to do with proving that prediction incorrect.

Thanks to FoHH founder Steve Craig, and many like-minded followers, the aims of preserving and improving the bird’s habitat have greatly contributed to ensuring the continued existence of the

critically endangered bird.

The helmeted honeyeater’s unique floodplain habitat, the Sedge-rich Eucalyptus camphora Swamp, once widespread in the Yarra Valley, is now found only in the Yellingbo area. It is now slowly being revegetated to provide more habitat for a rich diversity of indigenous species.

FoHH president Robert Anderson said the Friends had long emphasised that works restoring habitat for the helmeted honeyeater should also make a direct contribution towards the conservation of a number of other threatened species, including the endangered lowland Leadbeater’s Possum.

Teams of volunteers have worked in the nursery to grow over 140 different plant species for revegetation. Seed has been collected, fences have been erected, weeds have been eradicated (perhaps not totally), and revegetation plots have been established.

“The Friends have been blessed by having enthusiastic volunteers. It has been like a call to arms,” Mr Anderson said.

“Some volunteers have given 25 years of service while there are always

new folk who come in to help. The nursery is the hub of this operation and we are very proud of it. Nursery managers, both voluntary and paid, have been the reason it is so successful,” he said, adding “they deserve high praise.”

While habitat protection and enrichment have been carried out, the Friends have been able to educate the community.

It hasn’t all been plain sailing by a long way. Mr Anderson said lack of funding certainty, a long drought and extensive dieback in the Cockatoo Creek swamp had presented challenges that had required adaptability and innovative planning.

“Despite these challenges, we’re proud to say that after 25 years of effort, the helmeted honeyeater population is on the rebound,” Mr Anderson said.

He said there were now about 100 birds in the wild with impressive breeding outcomes at one site in the Yellingbo Reserve resulting in birds having to be relocated to avoid overcrowding.

“Who would have thought that would happen?” said Mr Anderson revisiting the opening question.

Anzac battlefields ROUND three played host to three very big YVMDFNL Anzac Day clashes.

Warburton Millgrove fought back to have a 42 point turnaround in the last to beat Healesville.

Upwey Tecoma was in control all day and comfortably accounted for Belgrave while up at Kinglake, Brendan Fevola fought admirably and kicked five goals for Kinglake but it wasn’t enough to account for the rampaging centre line of Yarra Glen.

Warburton Millgrove 14.13 (97) d Healesville 11.9 (75) Warburton got its first victory of the season after a stunning come from behind win to leave Healesville winless after three rounds.

The first half was an even contest with teams going goal for goal and it was Healesville that led by just four points at the main break.

The third quarter saw Healesville take control as it booted five goals to two and jumped out to a handy 20 point lead at the last break and looked set to record its first victory.

But Warby had other ideas and produced arguably its best quarter of footy for a couple of seasons as it all of a sudden found its run and Healesville players found themselves chasing tail.

Warby slammed on 7.7 for the term and held Healesville to just 1.1 to turn a 20 point three quarter time deficit into a remarkable 22 point victory.

Woori Yallock 24.13 (157) d Emerald 6.5 (41) Possibly the less said about this game the better, but that would be taking a fair bit away from Woori Yallock which was outstanding from quarter time onwards.

The lead was just two goals in Woori’s favour at quarter time but after that the day was all in its favour.

The team booted seven goals to two in the second to lead by 52 points at the half.

It then stretched that to 71 by the last change and then romped home with a nine goal to two last quarter to record a massive 116 point victory and show it is very much looking at going backto-back-to-back.

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Yarra Glen 28.20 (188) d Kinglake 5.9 (39) This was the big Anzac Day clash with big Brendan Fevola lining up for Kinglake and, unfortunately, the game turned out to be a bit of a fizzer as Yarra Glen dominated from start to finish.

Fevola did do a good job booting his team’s five goals but at the same time he was quite well held by a much disciplined Jason Ball who had the big job on him.

Yarra Glen had this game in its keeping from quarter time as it jumped out to a 32 point lead.

It then put the game way beyond doubt with a nine goal to one second term to race to an 83 point lead at half time.

The second half was more of the same with Yarra Glen finishing the day strong with a nine goal last term and looking as though it is going to be one tough side to beat this season.

Powelltown 13.12 (90) d Gembrook Cockatoo 10.10 (70) Powelltown remains undefeated after a gutsy 20 point win over Gembrook which is yet to break through for a win this season.

For three quarters this game was very tight and it was Gembrook that held a narrow lead for the best part of those three quarters.

However, it was Powelltown’s willingness and desperation late in the last quarter that saw it score five goals to one to win by what was a very impressive 20 points.

Powelltown takes on Seville next week which is also undefeated in what could be a season defining game for both sides.

Yarra Junction 13.13 (91) d Alexandra 7.6 (48) Yarra Junction got its first win of the season

Above: Warburton-Millgrove claimed the YVMDFL Anzac Day Division 1 Shield in the traditional clash with Healesville, coming away courageously in the final quarter to a 42 point win. The Burras were presented with the shield by Warburton RSL members Wayne Morgan, left, Jamie Thomas and Lindsay Fisher, right. 119346 Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY over what was a disappointing Alexandra.

Junction took control early with a seven goal to one first quarter and never looked threatened from there on.

In fact the scoreboard probably flattered Alex a little bit as Junction was a bit wayward as it could have blown the margin out a lot more if it was a little more efficient around the goal mouth.

Overall Junction will be rapt to win to get its season going while Alex will need to bounce back against Thornton Eildon next week.

UNDER 18s Healesville 11.20 (86) d Warburton Millgrove 2.4 (16) This was a pretty scrappy match but it was one that Healesville dominated throughout.

It held Warby scoreless in the first quarter while it managed 3.3.

Healesville stretched the lead out to seven goals by three quarter time.

The last quarter was a bit of a shocker for both sides.

Warby didn’t score while Healesville booted an incredibly inaccurate 3.10 which still saw it win, but it should have been by a lot greater margin.

Monbulk 26.15 (171) d Powelltown 0.0 Unfortunately sometimes there are games that one team is just dominant over another for the entirety of the four quarters and this was one such game.

Monbulk showed no mercy as it booted nine goals to nothing in the first quarter to set the tone for the day.

The second quarter saw better from Powelltown from a defensive point of view as it held Monbulk to three goals but it failed to score itself.

The second half was all Monbulk as they slammed on another 14 goals to win by 171 points and leave Powelltown scoreless in a game it would rather forget.

Healesville registers maiden win DIVISION 1 A GRADE NETBALL: Healesville 47 d Warburton Millgrove 45 HEALESVILLE got their first win of the season with a nail-biting, two-goal win over Warby. Healesville got off to a good start and led by seven goals at quarter time, but Warby hit back hard in the second with a 19 goal-to-10 quarter and hit the lead by two goals at half-time.The third quarter was goalfor-goal for the most part, but Healesville did manage to tie the scores at 36 all at the last change. There really didn’t deserve to be a loser here, but it was Healesville that managed to edge in front and hold on for what was a dramatic two-goal victory.

Upwey Tecoma 51 d Belgrave 37 After an even first quarter with teams tied at nine goals, it was Upwey that jumped away in the second with a lot quicker and more efficient ball movement which rewarded them with a 15 goal-to-six quarter and a 10-goal lead.The second half was an even contest, but every time Belgrave looked to be mounting a challenge, Upwey would answer the challenge and stem the tide as they eventually ran out winners by 14 goals in a very entertaining contest.

Woori Yallock 50 d Emerald 36 This was a very even contest up to half-time, with Woori leading by just two goals. The third quarter was where it was won as Woori found more avenues to goal, and scored 12 goals-tofive to go into the last quarter with a handy nine-goal lead. Woori continued their good form in the last quarter,

Warburton’s Olivia Rose Caneva holds off the Healesville defence of Anzac Day Medalist Chelsea Connell (left) and Bianca Grimshaw. Healesville won through by two goals 47 to 45 in a game that went down to the Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY final seconds. 119348

Healesville wing Maddison Hanlen looks for a pass in the final moments of the game. 119348 adding another 14 goals to their tally while Emerald scored nine which gives Woori their first victory of the season and Leaves Emerald to wait at least an-

other week to see if they can get theirs.

Mount Evelyn 49 d Monbulk 21 This was a very complete performance from Mount Evelyn as they never gave Monbulk a real look in.

Mount Evelyn got out to a nine-goal lead at quarter time and stretched that to 14 by the half.

The second half was more of the same as Mount Evelyn sustained their good form, adding another 22 goals to Monbulk’s eight to win by 28 goals in what was a very consistent four-quarter performance.

Wandin 56 d Olinda Ferny Creek 36 Wandin flew out of the blocks as they scored 16 goals in the first quarter and held Olinda to just four.

Wandin added another 15 goals in the second while Olinda had a bit more attack, adding nine but it was Wandin in control at the half with an 18-goal lead.

The second half was reasonably even but the margin was too big a hurdle for Olinda to overcome as Wandin eventually ran out 20-goal winners in what was a pretty good display from them.

DIVISION 2 A GRADE NETBALL: Yarra Glen 48 d Kinglake 22 Yarra Glen continued their good early season form with a complete fourquarter performance over Kinglake.

After an even first quarter with Yarra Glen leading by four goals they pretty much took control from there on. Yarra Glen added anther 37 goals in the last three quarters with some very quick and skillful movement while Kinglake could only manage another 15 through the ring which gave Yarra Glen a 26goal win and sees them undefeated after three rounds.

Yea 63 d Thornton Eildon 22 Yea had a comprehensive win over Thornton who just couldn’t find a way to score. Yea led by 19 goals at half time, they stretched their lead to 29 goals at the last change and from there it was just a matter how much they could win by. Yea added another 19 goals in the final stanza and held Thornton to just six to win by 41 goals in a very one-sided affair.

Yarra Junction 74 d Alexandra 21 This game was domination from Yarra Junction from start to finish.

In fact, they seemed to get better as the game went on.

Junction had an 11-goal lead at the first break and then shot that out to 24 goals by the half. Alexandra just didn’t have any answers as Yarra Junction continued on their merry way in the second half scoring another 39 goalsto-10 to win big and send a message out to all other teams that they are going to be one tough unit to beat.

Junior footballers kick off with an Anzac clash

By ANNE-MARIE EBBELS THIS weekend saw the kick-off of the Junior football season for 2014 with the traditional Anzac Day clash between Healesville and Yarra Glen.

The day kicked off with the U9s which saw an enthusiastic bunch of players take the field, many in their first game of football. The boys played great team football and their kicking and marking was fantastic.

The Under 10 followed in a tight low scoring affair. Healesville had a lot of the play, particularly in the first half, but were unable to convert into points on the board. The second half saw Yarra Glen score the only goal of the game.

The U12s were up against a tough opposition in Yarra Glen. The team played with spirit and determination, but was unable to prevail against a stronger opposition.

The U14s needed to win to keep Healesville in the hunt for the Anzac

Day Shield, the young Bloods worked very hard together and showed the training drills they have been working on in last few weeks have paid off.

There was some excellent run and carry and zone work put into play which helped the team cement their win with extra dedication shown for their injured captain.

The final game of the Anzac Day clash contested was the U16s, with pressure on both teams to determine who would take home the shield this year. The first quarter started pretty slow, with both teams scoring about the same. In the second quarter, Healesville managed seven minor scores and only one goal. The Healesville team pulled it together in the last half and applied pressure and ran the ball well to come out convincing winners in the end and ensure that the Anzac Day Shield was returned to Healesville for another 12 months.

In other games, the Youth Girls played their first home game for the

season against the Kew Rovers. The Redbacks let a fast running Kew take control of the game early and found it hard to get into the game, however to the girls’ credit, they never gave up and kept trying to the end.

The Healesville U11 team travelled to Monbulk for their first game of the season. The team had great start to the season with a hard fought, welldeserved victory on the back of some very good defensive work against a very determined Monbulk side.

The U13 started their season against Wandin, it was a tough game for the first round and the team continued to fight until the end.

Clarkes, Comport excel at cross country MARGARET LEWIS Reserve in Coldstream was the venue for round three of the Yarra Ranges Athletics Club cross country season.

A sensational morning and a classic cross country course greeted a large turnout of club members, family and friends.

The race of the day was the 1500 metres with Zac Clarke sneaking home ahead of Maddie Laven.

Other stand-out performances were from Charlotte Comport and Zoe Clarke in the 500 metres and a fascinating tussle in the three kilometres be-

tween Amy Veenendaal, Dave Laven, Amanda Laven and Craig Hewitson.

The clubs next event will be on Saturday 3 May at Morison Reserve, Mount Evelyn at 8.45am.
