Ring reunites WHEN Yarra Ranges Councillor Maria McCarthy found a wedding ring while renovating her house almost a decade ago, she was determined to find the hand it belonged to.

The ring, it turned out, had been missing since 1968, and it was seven years before the owners - Delwyn and Graeme Ellis - crossed paths.

Delwyn, Graeme and Cr McCarthy all sat down last week to talk to the Mail about the miracle find and how the ring found its way back onto the right hand earlier this month.

Graeme, then a carpenter, said he lost the ring after taking it off in the house, which he had helped build in Lilydale.

It wasn’t until Cr McCarthy and her husband were renovating their house in 2007 that the ring resurfaced behind the cabinets.

Cr McCarthy said that, before the ring was found, she had a strange dream about finding rubies in the wall behind some cabinets in her ensuite.

Lo and behold, the removal of the cabinet resulted in not rubies, but gold.

She said that she had heard the former owners of the house were still in the area, and felt compelled to hold onto the ring until she found them.

“I don’t know why, but I had to keep it,” she said.

“It wasn’t mine to melt.”

“I knew that, one day, I’d find these people, but I didn’t know how I’d find them.”

Delwyn and Cr McCar-

thy crossed paths through their association with the Rotary Club of Lilydale, but it wasn’t until a mutual friend visited the house and mentioned it to Ms Ellis that the coin - and the ring - dropped.

Coincidentally, Cr McCarthy had retrieved the ring from her drawers the night before finding out the owner’s identity.

“When I was cleaning my drawer, looking for it the night before, I was thinking “I have to find these people - these people must be somewhere,” she said.

After being missing for around 46 years, the ring was finally returned on Thursday 3 July.

Delwyn and Graeme said the missing ring had become a joke within their circle of family and friends in the years since it disappeared, and that they were happy to have it back.

“It’s great - our kids think that it’s wonderful,” she said.

Due to Graeme’s carpentry work and the risk posed by wearing jewellery, he never ended up replacing the ring, but, since retiring, is happy to wear it again.

The return of the ring was interrupted on the very night it was returned, when the pair went to get fish and chips before heading back to their Healesville home.

Delwyn said that, after getting to the shop, the ring had disappeared once again.

After thoroughly sifting through the contents of their car, the ring was found again, and now sits comfortably on Graeme’s hand.

Pay cut claims and counter-claims hit

By KATH GANNAWAY EASTERN Health CEO Alan Lilly has rejected claims that clinicians at the Yarra Valley Community Medical Service (GP clinic) have been asked to take pay cuts.

Mr Lilly told the Mail last week that he was unaware of any issues related to problems at the clinic prior to the Mail asking for a response to issues on Friday morning (18 July).

The Mail reported on 8 July that the clinic was in crisis following the shock resignation of Dr Murray Barson which, under a contract renewal, would effectively see him take what amounted to a 20 per cent pay cut.

Eastern Health responded to that article with a letter from program director Michele Goding saying there was no crisis, that the clinic was staffed ‘appropriately’ and operating as normal.

Ms Goding did not comment on reports of income reductions.

Dr Ken Tate, a colleague at

the GP clinic, told 150 people at the Save Healesville Hospital Action Group community meeting on Wednesday night (16 July) that Dr Barson was indeed facing a reduction in his contract percentage – effectively a pay cut – confirming information that the Mail had received from other Eastern Health employees or contractors over the past few weeks.

Dr Tate said the clinic was very busy and was making a considerable profit for Eastern Health.

He spoke highly of Dr Barson and his commitment to the clinic and its patients.

“For whatever reason, Eastern Health has decided they want to take more money out of Murray Barson,” he said.

He spoke of re-arrangements of contracts that would reduce the income of another doctor at the clinic and said “ ... the clinic is a very unhappy place right now”.

Seymour MP and Liberal Party

candidate for the new Eildon Electorate, Cindy McLeish, was at the SHHAG meeting.

She told the Mail that evening that she had raised the issue with Mr Lilly following the meeting and expected that someone from Eastern Health would be visiting the clinic to investigate the concerns raised.

“I thought it was pretty serious for him to speak out like that,” she said.

“People don’t stand up and speak as openly as he did about a problem without there being something to it.”

She said because a locum had been put in to replace Dr Barson, Eastern Health may not have regarded the situation as “a crisis”.

In response to the alleged ‘pay cuts’, Ms McLeish said while she did not know enough about the model used and the way consultations were charged for, it was up to Eastern Health.

“It’s their business; essentially they operate as a business, and they

have a right to do that,” she said.

Both Mr Lilly and Ms McLeish said the matters raised in the Mail, and at the meeting would be looked into by Eastern Health.

Mr Lilly said with the clinic being the only routinely bulk-billing clinic in the area, Eastern Health was providing a service that was well and truly beyond what a community health service should provide.

“I think having locum doctors is standard practice and think it’s better that we can provide a service with a locum until we can employ our own doctors,” he said.

He said the payment to doctors was complex and that Eastern Health did not comment on individual contracts.

“I can categorically assure you however, to suggest that doctors have been asked to take a 20 per cent pay cut is untrue and misleading,” he said.

HEALESVILLE’S Mechanics Institute building has an interesting and well-documented history.

The question now is what does the future hold for the building that, having been saved once from demolition, is again in desperate need of a saviour.

The 122-year-old building, one of only three remaining historic public buildings in Healesville, will be auctioned on 2 August.

Retired teacher-librarian Pam Firth (now Baragwanath) was its first saviour. She bought the dilapidated Church Street building in 1984 and with, literally, ‘blood, sweat and tears’ - along with a significant financial investment, restored the building and reopened it as The Old Mechanics’ Gallery and Tea Room in 1986.

By the time its centenary came around in 1992, it included being Recorded by the National Trust, assessed by the Upper Yarra Valley Dandenong Ranges Authority as an excellent example of regional historical significance, and listed on the National Estate by the Australian Heritage Commission.

Back in Healesville last week for the 30th birthday celebrations of the Healesville & District Historical Society, of which she was a founding member, Ms Baragwanath said she was happy and relieved to learn that the building was up for sale, after languishing for a number of years.

“It’s happened at a good time,” she said.

The building is not yet beyond repair, but undoubtedly needs money spent on it.

“The building is an icon - part of a great movement (Mechanics’ Institute and Free Library) that was the basis for TAFE and our municipal library system we have today,” Ms Baragwanath said.

“If we can’t save a building that’s over 100 years old, what does that say about how we value our heritage.”

Healesville Historian Bryn Jones, who was also pleased to see the building on the market, said he hoped that it would be given a new lease on life. He was a guest speaker in 1992 when Ms Firth launched a book celebrating the centenary of the original Institute and 100 years of Library Service to the Healesville Community.

In terms of historic public buildings, he said the Mechanics’ Institute, the railway station and the court house were the only remaining examples of early public buildings in the town.

“It would be wonderful as Healesville celebrates its 150th year, to see this building preserved for future generations,” he said.

In 1984 when it was advertised by S. Hoogenbosch and Associates, it was described as “a venerable” building and promoted as “an ideal opportunity for an imaginative purchaser”.

The building will be auctioned by Mark Gunther of First National Real Estate at noon on Saturday 2 August.

It remains ‘venerable’ ... and the hope is it will find an imaginative purchaser ready to grasp another ‘ideal opportunity’.

Footy legend takes stage

By REBECCA BILLS BARASSI The Stage Show is coming to The Memo next month.

Written by Sherbrooke local Tee O’Neill, she said the play was based on the iconic Australian footballer, coach, motivator and father of modern football Ron Barassi.

Best described as a story of passion and courage, of success and failure, Ms O’Neill said the story started in World War II when Barassi’s champion footballer father is tragically killed in Libya.

“You really feel the ghost of his father throughout the performance,” she said.

“It follows the development of young Ron under the care and mentorship of legendary coach Norm Smith, and as he develops into ‘the father of modern football’.”

Ever driven to challenge himself and to live up to the impossible memory of his father, Barassi makes the transition from champion player to the game’s most ferocious, unstoppable super coach, achieving the status of legend along the way.

Ms O’Neill said she remembered being at a match where Barassi was coaching and was enthralled by the way he encouraged his team to succeed through sheer passion and genuine love for the game.

Ms O’Neill grew up playing football as a child in the late 70s but was stopped when she was 13 as the coaches did not think she was big enough to play against the ‘boys’.

“Football really broke my heart,” she said.

“I turned my back on the game for a while, but it was during that same time that Barassi was coming into his own and so many of father’s friends and my father remember how unstoppable he was.

“And while his football success knew no bounds, his marriage, business and old Melbourne club were crumbling.”

Presented by Jager Productions, Barassi has watched and approved the authenticity of the play.

“Barassi did see the show and it was one of the most nerve wrecking things as a writer,” Ms O’Neill said.

“He said on Neil Mitchell the following day that it was 96 per cent accurate - I will never know what the four per cent of inaccuracies are, but I’m so happy with that number.

“I had met with him before I started writing the performance to get permission, but it still didn’t make it any less scary.”

Barassi: The Stage Show will be performed at The Memo on Saturday 2 August at 8pm.

Tickets are $34, $30 for concession and $28 for Jarmbi.

Martie made his mark on Saturday 12 July after heading out on the Wednesday to snowboard in the Mount Bogong area.

Mr Kerr’s body was found on the Monday.

Inspector Dave Ryan from Victoria Police said Mr Buckland’s body was found under about a metre-anda-half of snow about 60 metres up the hill from where his friend was found.

He said it was a tragic end to what had been a long and protracted search and a lot of time of uncertainty for Mr Buckland’s family.

Caulfield Grammar principal Reverend Andrew Syme in a notification to parents last week said

YARRA Junction teacher Martie Buckland is being remembered for his leadership and passion for teaching in the ‘outdoor classroom’.

The worst fears of his family, friends and colleagues were realised when searchers found his body, buried under snow around 10.30am on Tuesday 15 July.

Mr Buckland was a teacher at Caulfield Grammar’s Yarra Junction Campus, husband to Sally, a teacher at Birmingham Primary School in Mount Evelyn, and father of young son, Thomas.

Mr Buckland and his close friend Daniel Kerr were reported missing

emotions were extremely raw and painful.

He said the news of Mr Buckland’s death had confirmed their worst fears.

Mr Buckland has worked at the Yarra Junction campus as a specialist Outdoor Education teacher for nearly seven years and Rev Syme said he was a highly respected and much-loved member of the small and close-knit team there.

“He was an incredibly positive person with a wonderful zest for life and had a significant impact on the many students he came into contact with,” he said.

He said both men were experi-

enced in backcountry snowboarding, snow camping and bushwalking and were well equipped with extensive knowledge and experience of the Mount Bogong region.

“As a community, we will be supporting Martie’s wife, his son and family, together with his colleagues at Yarra Junction Campus throughout this difficult time,” he said.

He said counselling services were available to students and their families at the school.

The Mail extends its sympathy to both families and to Mr Buckland’s Yarra Junction friends and colleagues.

Hair salon cuts back for big move

By REBECCA BILLS IT’S Mount Evelyn’s longest serving business and next Saturday is Egon Kuelanck’s last day of business in the town.

Egon’s Hair Shop has been a much loved business within the community for 35 years but due to family moving to Western Australia, Egon and his wife Lydia have decided to sell up and make the move across this great desert land.

Growing up in Germany, the couple moved to Switzerland on an 18 month working visa and Egon worked for one of the biggest hairdressing companies.

As the visa was coming to an end the couple said they did not want to return to Germany so applied for visas to Canada and Australia.

“The Australian papers came back first so we arrived in Melbourne with one suitcase on 14 September 1973,” Egon said.

Lydia said the couple moved to Mount Evelyn in 1975 as they loved the hills and it reminded

Egon and Lydia are saying goodbye to Mount Evelyn.

FRIENDS of the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct (FoMEA) members have vowed to fight plans for bike tracks through environmentally significant areas.

Councillors will consider six options for mountain bike tracks through the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Reserve at tonight’s (Tuesday) Yarra Ranges Council meeting.

Three options suggest re-opening the upper and lower trails in the reserve, which were closed in 2012 due to environmental risks posed by users, including bike riders.

them of their home country.

Shortly after Egon set up his hairdressing shop in Wray Crescent and a few years later built their family home on York Road with a shop underneath.

“I believe I am the longest serving trader in Mount Evelyn and that makes me feel old,” he said.

In 2000, Egon became the founding director of the Mount Evelyn Community Bank.

Founder of the Mount Evelyn Community Bank Allan Price said he thinks it is fantastic that Lydia and Egon came as migrants not even able to speak the language and it turns out he is the longest serving trader.

“Not only was he the director of the bank he was part of the traders’ group and the Mount Evelyn Township Improvement Committee,” he said.

“He was never just a shop owner in the town but an active member of the community.”

Egon and Lydia said they will always love Mount Evelyn and never thought they would leave but they need to be with their family.

“It is hard to say goodbye but we want to say thank you for the many years of support,” he said.

“This is not good-bye, it is just until next time we meet.”

Yarra Ranges Mountain Bikers (YRMTB) has called for the council to review its decision to close the trails because of the increase in demand for challenging trails linking two biking hubs in the Yarra Ranges.

The Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Reserve links the Silvan Reservoir to the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail and mountain biking areas in Warburton.

Councillors are due to be told that any option to re-open the upper or lower tracks posed significant environmental risks to the area.

The section of the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Reserve is ranked the

third most significant area environmentally out of the council’s list of 140 bushland reserves.

FoMEA has maintained and improved the aqueduct area for the past 24 years after members campaigned to stop the sale of land, and the group remains opposed to opening either track.

Compromise may be possible, as a fifth option appears to weigh up both parties’ interests and suggests a reconfiguration of the main aqueduct trail to allow a more bikerfriendly environment.

The option also includes the possibility of constructing a separate

mountain bike trail in the aqueduct itself, with a suggestion of creating a trail via boardwalks.

According to the council, both groups were reported to see merit in the fifth option, as it provided for a more challenging biking environment, without re-opening the closed tracks.

If an option is chosen that includes opening the upper or lower track, the council report recommends doing so on a trial basis, to record the environmental impact.

Main street attack A CALLOUS unprovoked attack in Belgrave’s main street is being investigated by police after a woman was punched and head-butted on Wednesday 16 July at 5.30pm.

Leading Senior Constable Georgie Cooper said that the victim was walking along the main street towards Belgrave Hallam Road when she was attacked by a woman aged in her late teens.

“While the victim received no serious injuries, she has bruising and lacerations to her face.”

She said the attacker left the scene with two people who weren’t involved in the attack.

“We are very interested to hear from witnesses and we’re going through CCTV footage now,” Ldg Sen Const Cooper said.

Seasons good for the soul point Graeme Dawson Co-ordinator, Focal Point

end date but others linger.

So how do we handle these dark times; pills, alcohol, denial, days off work, hibernation, or comfort food by the fire?

All of these can help but I suggest that we might look at this winter of dis-

content as a time for reflection and a time to do something constructive.

In our Western world mindset, we have difficulty with waiting, silence and sitting in what we can’t seem to fix - otherwise called ‘the mess’ or ‘unresolved’.

I wonder what it would look like if we could see being laid aside from the main stream of life, due to these experiences, as an opportunity to think about the direction of our lives and think a little deeper about the bigger issues.

Sometimes the rhythms of our lives

get out of sync, but most times they come and go like the seasons.

We may also see these seasons as linear - progressive stages of life that we move through.

Our weather seasons move in rotation - they follow each other in an order that is necessary for the life cycle.

Without the autumn shedding of leaves, the new growth of spring can’t come.

That growth needs spring rain, and we need summer to kill off winter germs and bring the sunlight and long days to sustain the new growth and fruit.

Winter, of course, is a time of fallow - a time of rest - a time of preparation. Maybe we could learn from the way the seasons work.

Then we might see winter of discontent as a time to rest and reflect and from which we can draw something constructive.

After all, our creator emphasised the need for us to rest at least one day a week - he made us, so he knows what works best.

True, and all of these experiences can add up to mild depression.

Counsellors call it situational depression which, in essence, is what humans go through as life.

The most common to all of us, though, are losses; through death, loss of relationships and dreams, to name just a few big ones.

The effect of these is seen in the way we grieve; some of them have an

Pledge on parks

By JESSE GRAHAM A NEW national park covering the Toolangi region has not been ruled out of Labor’s table for the coming State Election.

However, Eildon Candidate, Sally Brennan, said the issues around the proposal weren’t simple, and that she’d be meeting with relevant groups.

Labor’s policy statement for November’s State Election in Victoria is replete with references to the possibility of creating new national parks.

“Labor will ... investigate developing new national parks to protect Victoria’s threatened species, unique vegetation including unique grasslands,” the policy read.

Eildon candidate Sally Brennan said that no final decision had been made at this point in her election campaign on the Great Forest National Park (GFNP) proposal.

She said the proposal was the topic of much broader discussion, but that it was still up in the air.

“One of the things that I’m doing is informing myself around all of those issues and, as a result of that, I’ve been spending some time with environmental groups and I’m also going out with VicForests as their guest, to have a look at the way things are done in Toolangi,” Ms Brennan said.

She said the GFNP proposal originally put forward by Professor David Lindenmayer last year - was

the catalyst for discussions on the way the government dealt with the environment.

However, she said that the endangered Leadbeater’s Possum was not the only issue of importance in discussions on the forests, with people working in the industry, other industries and other Indigenous animals also to be considered.

“I think that any and every means should be taken to ensure that our native species are safe - we can’t afford to lose any more native species,” she said. “(The GFNP) is a great opportunity to start seriously thinking through what our priorities are ... but the issues aren’t simple.”

VicForests recently confirmed that the recommendations from the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) report earlier this year are being implemented into its practices.

These practices include retention harvesting - as opposed to clear-felling - in 50 per cent of the ash forests in the possum’s range, and 200-metre buffer zones around Leadbeater’s Possum colonies.

The Victorian Liberal Party does not currently have a general list of policies in regards to the state election on 29 November or on national parks specifically.

Seymour MP and Liberal candidate for Eildon, Cindy McLeish was contacted, but did not respond by deadline.

Wiping out the wine bug

By JESSE GRAHAM A RECENTLY announced research project will put a wine bug in its crosshairs, with hundreds of thousands of dollars being spent to stop the spread of the pest through the valley.

On 10 July, the Victorian Government announced a two- year research project to protect the Australian wine industry from phylloxera.

Phylloxera, a bug that lives in grapevines and can kill the plant, is currently present in a number of vineyards around the Yarra Valley, spanning from Lilydale through to Dixons Creek, Healesville and Gruyere.

The research project, which is worth $580,000, is funded equally by the Victorian Government and the Australian Grape and Wine Authority (AGWA).

Researchers will attempt to identify the best disinfestation techniques, and strengthening methods of

containing phylloxera.

Wine Yarra Valley CEO Richard Howden said he was happy to hear about the new research project, as the pest was difficult to remove once it entered a vineyard.

He said that the bug could be combatted with resistant vines being planted, or by removing infested vines, but that few other ways were known to remove the pest.

Because of this, Mr Howden said that winemakers in the Yarra Valley had stringent procedures to stop the bug spreading into new areas.

“The key is not to transfer it,” he said.”

“We have appropriate phylloxera management protocols in place to limit or stop the spread of phylloxera,” Methods to contain the bug include thorough cleaning of all equipment and clothing brought into vineyards, and

controls on moving grapevine materials, which may contain the bug.

Mr Howden said that phylloxera infestations had no impact on the quality of wines produced, but could have a financial impact on winegrowers, who had to replace infested vines.

“It’s something we need to be aware of, and something we need to help manage, but it’s not an immediate, devastating issue,” he said.

The project will be run by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI), and will be led by principal research scientist and phylloxera authority, Dr Kevin Powell.

Mr Howden said that Dr Powell had visited the Yarra Valley recently to run a seminar on the pest, and talk about its containment.

Students are a cut above

By JESSE GRAHAM STUDENTS will be taking to the stage next month as part of Healesville High School’s new production of Hairspray, and are pulling out all stops for the performance.

The production, which opens on Wednesday 27 August, has been the subject of a rigorous training schedule for the students, who donated their time on the school holidays for six days of rehearsals.

Performing Arts Centre manager Troy Jansen said the students had been tirelessly preparing for the show since March, and that almost 50 students were taking part.

Hairspray is a romantic comedy that focuses on Tracey Turnblad, a dancer in the 1960s, who is launched to stardom and campaigns for integration in the show she performs on.

“The moment we mentioned the name Hairpsray last year, it’s taken off like wildfire,” Mr Jansen said.

Mr Jansen said the cast had been practicing three days a week since March, with extra days on school holidays, and that he was proud of the effort students had been putting in.

Students will also be running sound, lighting, graphics and technical support throughout the performance.

In a new addition to the school’s production schedule, local band Exploded View will be playing music live to accompany the performances.

Mr Jansen said Exploded View’s participation in the show was an example of the widespread community support the school received with its productions.

“We always do really well with the community support - we couldn’t pull off what we do on our budget alone,” he said.

“It pretty much saves us – without the community, we couldn’t do it.”

Hairspray will be performed daily from Wednesday 27 August to Saturday 30 August, with shows from 7.30pm and an extra 2pm matinee performance on the Saturday.

Letters Left shocked AFTER attending the SHHAG (Save Healesville Hospital Action Group) community meeting in the Memorial Hall at Healesville last night (Wednesday, 16 July) my reaction is threefold - outrage, pride, and shame.

Outrage at the duplicity of Eastern Health when presenting misleading information to the community about the future of our hospital.

Shocked and disgusted, at the tactics used to prevent the dedicated doctors and their practice manager from revealing the facts about conditions for their contract renewals.

Proud to be part of a community served by such professional, passionate, efficient and dedicated people, who won’t be gagged through intimidation tactics.

Shamed, that I have attended only one SHAGG meeting. I ‘meant’ to go and rationalised my absence (who would miss one lone person?)

These amazing people are representing us. How can our presence not be important?

As our representatives they need community input and support.

We owe them our presence at meetings to validate their efforts, to encourage and reinvigorate them, and to keep up the momentum.

Their unpaid efforts are for us, and for future generations.

Alison J. Baker, Healesville.

TAFE shambles I FIND it interesting that Christine Fyffe blames the failure to attract an interested TAFE provider to the Swinburne Lilydale site on the Labor Party.

That none of the expressions of interest for the Swinburne site actually fitted the criteria required is an indictment on the shambles this government’s savage cuts have left the TAFE system in.

Daniel Andrews opted to show some leadership on this issue when the ALP told the community that this site would remain for education, something the Liberals have failed to do since Swinburne told students they could no longer provide this service due to the current climate in post-secondary education in this state.

Is it any wonder that a provider cannot be attracted to the site when some courses have been reduced from $8 a student contact hour down to $2?

Had an EOI come in that fitted this requirement, then there would have been no problem.

The ALP only had a problem if a non-education provider secured the site and this still remains the case.

We firmly believe the families of the outer east deserve access to quality post-secondary education and that’s what they will receive if Labor is elected on 29 November.

Peter Harris, ALP Candidate for Evelyn.

Hospital built by wood THE True origin and foundation of the Healesville Hospital was helped along by the timber industry.

Every timber worker in the 1950s throughout the entire Healesville Shire had their weekly wages garnisheed for a long period of time, the period can be found in the archives of the timber industry.

Every worker was involved including the tree-fallers in the forests, the log truck drivers, the bulldozer drivers, the mill workers, the timber truck drivers who delivered the loads of timber around the district to the shipping wharves in Melbourne.

My dad, John (Bill) Collis was a mill worker and gratefully gave to the cause to have the Healesville Hospital built.

I have made the effort to support the elderly and all the new mums and dads and children in all their health care and welfare in the future.

May my correspondence encourage and inspire others to express their thoughts and feelings all in all.

Colin Collis, Healesville.

Doctor’s orders I WAS very sad to hear of Dr Murray Barson’s sudden departure from the Yarra Valley Community Medical Service and I am very worried at the prospect of losing more of our valued doctors.

One year ago after attending another clinic for three months, seeing four doctors who were unable to diagnose my very painful illness, I decided to change clinics.

I attended Yarra Valley Community Medical Service where Dr Prathana KC took the time to give me a thorough examination.

Dr Prathana then consulted with Dr Tait and Dr Barson, resulting in a correct diagnosis and later confirmed by biopsy. They sent me straight to hospital, who said I arrived just in time for my sight to be saved.

I am forever grateful for the skillful care, kindness and patience of these fully dedicated doctors and pray that Eastern Health will realize how valuable they are.

Kathleen McKay, Healesville.

Bouncing back BASKETBALL everywhere including our local association the UYBA Upper Yarra Basketball Association has been on a low for some time now.

Certainly in Yarra Junction the halcyon days of well over 100 teams are well gone.

With the recent success of Aussie players in the USA, it’s time to try and lift the game up again.

One way of doing this is to attend the AGM of the UYBA this Wednesday 23 July at 7.30pm at the Yarra Centre.

People eligible to attend and vote include players, parents of players, coaches, referees (need to sign members applications available from UYBA basketball desk).

If anybody wants to be involved and make a difference please get to the AGM so that basketball can be bouncing up again in the Upper Yarra.

Norman Orr, Launching Place.

Track to trouble I AGREE with Ray Donkin’s sentiments regarding the Healesville Tourist Railway.

Puffing Billy is by far a better train trip compared to a short train ride to Yarra Glen and back.

Puffing Billy enjoys wide community support but still requires public money to keep it running, presumably that would be the case for a Yarra valley train.

A rail trail would attract more tourists and locals of all ages, walkers, push bikers and horse riders, especially if the Warburton Rail Trail was linked up to Healesville.

It would benefit more people and would not require large amounts of public money to maintain the trail.

It would be fantastic to see a rail trail from Lilydale to Yarra Glen.

That land will never be used for anything else, shame to see it not being utilised.

I’ll be watching with interest, the progress of the tourist train.

Olga Szymiczek, Healesville.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 21 July, 1934 Film star at Healesville LAST Saturday Caesar, the wonder Alsatian dog film star came to Healesville and made an actual appearance with the talkie, ‘Trailing the killer’ in which he played the leading role.

Caesar proved to be one of the most interesting visitors we have had. He was accompanied by his owner and trainer, Mr Bert Tonks.

Caesar appeared on stage just prior to the screening of his picture. He gave a remarkable display of canine sagacity and worked by silent commands from his master. Mr Tonks explained that before the advent of talkies, dog stars such as Rin-Tin-Tin and Strongheart acted their parts in films by vocal commands.

The coming of the sensitive microphone however, changes this, as vocal commands would be recorded. Caesar was the only dog movie star who was trained to act by ‘sign language’.

Caesar ‘talked’ (barked), ran, walked, lay down, feigned a limp, imitated a kangaroo and did may other things by silent command.

Robbery at Healesville WILLIAMSON’S drapery store was again broken into during the early hours of Friday morning. About 2am the police were notified that something of a suspicious nature was going on in the main street and their promptitude in rushing to the spot evidently interrupted the thieves before they could make a getaway.

Most of the goods were recovered, having been strewn along the street in the course of a hurried exit.

Prized fire yarns

Scam inheritance

By JESSE GRAHAM IT’S not every day that you receive a letter saying you’re the recipient of $10 million dollars.

It’s even less often that such letters arrive that are legitimate.

Healesville’s Greg Chapman said that he received a letter on Wednesday 25 June, allegedly from TD Canada Trust, informing him of a $10.7 million (US dollar) inheritance that awaited him.

The inheritance, according to the letter-writer, had been sitting for around 10 years without being claimed, and, if Mr Chapman didn’t act, would be forfeited.

Mr Chapman said that he believed the letter was designed to provoke the reader to react quickly to claim the alleged inheritance, and be caught in the scam.

He said the content of the letter was also very vague, while being riddled with grammatical errors, and that the contact for the letter had provided a personal email account - not a business account - for contact.

“I believe the next step would be them asking me for my bank account,” he said.

Mr Chapman said the timing of the letter was interesting, as one of his Facebook friends had their accounts hacked a week prior - Mr Chap-

man said his postal address was available on that account.

He said that he wanted to raise awareness of the letter, in case other people had received similar letters recently.

“Some people might grab at something like this,” he said.

“I just want to make people aware.”

TD Canada Trust Representative, Jennifer Co, responded to the Mail and confirmed that the letter was not from the company.

“TD Canada Trust has not and will not send letters or messages to customers such as the one you received, or messages requesting confidential banking information,” she said.

The government’s ScamWatch website has a section dedicated to fake inheritance letters, and offers a number of warning signs for people to watch out for.

The website recommends never giving out credit card or online account details, or copies of personal documents, and avoiding any arrangement regarding money transfers.

For more information, visit www.scamwatch. gov.au or call 1300 795 995.

The Mail attempted to contact TD Canada Trust about the scam letter, but the organisation did not respond by deadline.

NOMINATIONS have opened for the 2014 Fire Awareness Awards.

The awards recognise the work done by people and communities to protect their people and their ‘patches’ from fire.

With the threat of fire constant in Yarra Ranges in the form of both bushfire and house fires, Victoria’s fire agencies are encouraging people to share their stories that reflect the hard work that goes into protecting homes, businesses, people and communities.

MFB Chief Officer Peter Rau said every year people across the state go above and beyond to develop fire safety programs, projects, products and designs that help keep people safe.

“The Fire Awareness Awards are a fantastic way for Victoria’s fire services to acknowledge their hard work, dedication and innovative spirit that underpins our sense of community in both the city and country,” Mr Rau said.

He said judges were keen to recognise projects that successfully reduce the number or impact of fires in Victoria. Successful projects can be at a local, regional or state wide scale and can come from volunteers, community groups and professionals.

The awards are supported by long term sponsor RACV who provide a $10,000 award that recognises excellence in fire safety. The fire services also provide three $2000 incentive grants to encourage further development of projects or programs.

The RACV Insurance Award for Excellence is presented to the most outstanding fire project from all categories.

RACV general manager of Insurance, Paul Northey, said RACV had a long history of supporting the Fire Awareness Awards and fire affected communities, and was proud to be associated with the fire awareness program.

“The Awards program and the Excellence Awards is a fantastic opportunity to recognise the invaluable work people do to protect their homes and communities” Mr Northey said.

Entries for the 2014 Fire Awareness Awards open on 30 June and close on 30 September 2014.

Recipients will be announced at a presentation evening on 4 December.

Street jumper’s cute

By JODIE SYMONDS TAKING street art to a new level, Healesville’s main street has been brightened up with yarn bombing.

Designers Kay Trembath and Alison Boyd from Healesville craft store Crumbz said they decorated the lamp-post in front of their store in colourful yarn to brighten up the town.

Yarn bombing has been described as graffiti using yarn to cover all sorts of public structures such as poles, trees and statues using different colours or designs.

The colourful creation outside Crumbz was actually described by a young local girl as a “pole jumper”.

Crumbz owner, Kay, said the animals at the top of the design were added to represent Australian culture in the town.

“The design took half an hour to come up with, then a couple of months to knit,” she said.

She said the response had been overwhelming with people giving lots of positive feedback.

“We have so many people coming into the shop to say how much they like it,” she said.

“It has got the community together - people come down here to look at it, which is really great,” she said.

She said the team of five that created the pole yarn bomb had considered extending the idea across the town.

Cafes and shops around Healesville have expressed the idea to decorate a pole outside each store in a design that represents their business in the near future.

The club, incorporated earlier this year, runs the Wandin Custom Car and Bike Show that draws as many as 700 machines to Wandin each month from October through to March.

On Tuesday 15 July, the club made a donation of $3585 to Melba Support Services in Mount Evelyn ... and that’s just a start.

The event organised by Cindy Redden-Vitale has grown from its beginnings as a small display of cars at the Wandin Shopping Centre car park five years ago, to an astoundingly successful show that has the Wandin Recreation Reserve filled to overflowing with bikes, cars and trucks on the third Wednesday night for six months of the year.

A NEW wildlife rescue service is stepping up to help native wildlife in the Upper Yarra region.

The Upper Yarra Wildlife Rescue Network was established earlier this year to improve the chances of survival for injured, orphaned and sick wildlife.

The group of five volunteers came together after it was recognised that there was a need to improve the response rate, and times, when animals were found in need of help.

“The response was not always timely and some animals were slipping through the cracks,” said UYWRN secretary Sue Kimberley.

The team operates a rescue and transport service and have a shelter where animals can be rehabilitated, as well as work with other carers in the area.

If treatment is required, the animals are taken to Healesville Sanctuary or to local vets who donate their services for wildlife.

A quick response can make the difference between life and death for injured animals, or for pouch young who can often be saved if found in time, even if the mother doesn’t survive.

Ms Kimberley said wildlife rescue required training and knowledge.

As a first step, she said, people should phone a wildlife service if they found an animal that needed help.

Having a list of phone numbers handy, in the phone, or the glove box, can save time, and lives.

“We are keen for people to ring us in the local area and we have a network here of people who can go and support each other in the rescue,” she said.

The group secured a sponsorship from the Warburton/Yarra Junction (Bendigo) Community Bank and has been active in responding to calls, and promoting the group.

Volunteers are needed to do rescue and transport work after training.

There are other opportunities to be involved, ranging from administration and fund-raising to promotion and making pouches.

For more information, call in at the Warburton Bakery where the UYWRN team meets for coffee and a chat at 9am each Saturday, or visit them on facebook.

The rescue hotline is 0427 088 121.

Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times.

Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012.

To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.

Tuesday, 22 July, 2014 Page 9

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total.

Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim.

Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year.

Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service.

These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment.

The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers.

This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

A rooftop tragifarce Hughes’ humour was his first gig at the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala in 1999, and recalled that he hit a nerve with a three-minute routine focused on fish and chips.

Despite more than a decade on the airwaves and five years on television, Hughes said that nothing quite compares to having a captive audience before him.

For the attendees at his Pakenham show, Hughes simply said: “They can look forward to a good time”, and that he felt in top form for the event.

Dave Hughes’ show begins at 7.30pm on Thursday 11 September at the Memo Hall in Healesville. Tickets are $44.90.

By JESSE GRAHAM EXIT Theatre’s latest production is rolling on until next month, and the Mail has three double passes to give away to Friday night’s show.

The Suicide of Solitude, a “tragifarce” production, is currently being performed by the local theatre troupe at Rochford Winery in Healesville.

Set on a rooftop in the middle of the night, the main characters - He and She (played by Kristof Kaczmarek and Elizabeth O’Callaghan - meet after She stands on the ledge of the roof, and contemplates ending her life.

The two discuss suicide, love, deception and a range of other subjects, as the audience slowly watches their stories develop and their backgrounds come into the light.

The pair are watched by two cats, played by Dawid Kaczmarek and Suhasini Seelin, who also contemplate the motives of the characters and speculate on what is yet to occur.

All is not how it seems, however, and there is a final twist and a jump - that many won’t see coming.

RENOWNED comedian Dave Hughes will be making his way down to perform in Healesville in September.

Well-known for his work with Nova Melbourne and The Project, Hughes will be hitting the stage to perform stand-up comedy at Healesville’s Memo Hall on 11 September as part of his Pointless tour.

He said he was aiming to make 2014 a year dedicated to stand-up comedy and that he was looking forward to the Healesville show. Hughes said that a lot of his material for the tour came from life experience - particularly the experience of having kids aged under five.

AUGUST and September are blockbuster months for The Memo in Healesville.

It starts with national treasure, pianist David Helfgott on Friday 8 August. His passionate musical interpretations and triumphant personal story has inspired audiences around the world. The Oscar-winning film of his life made him one of the world’s most recognisable classical musicians.

From standing ovations at

Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall to sold-out concerts at the Sydney Opera House, Helfgott will perform at The Memo.

And, for something completely different - Just the Ticket on Friday 22 August. A funny, heartwarming play about Susan’s midlife adventure. Susan sips, slurps and tumbles her way through a hilarious journey of rediscovery as she retraces the steps of a holiday she took years ago with friends.

September brings The Harbin-

“The... joy of that is in the show quite a bit,” he said.

“The kids get a good run they’re stars in their own right.

They’re paying for their own education.”

No stranger to the stand-up stage, Hughes has performed repeatedly at the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival.

He said that one of the favourite moments in his career

Classical genius at work at Memo

Dave Hughes will be coming down to Healesville to perform as part of his latest tour in September.

ger. Nominated for a Matilda for best mainstage production, The Harbinger is an enchanting adult fairytale by Queensland’s inimitable Dead Puppet Society.

“The Harbinger is beautiful, haunting and touches the rim of the extraordinary” is how a review in The Australian sums up this very special offering at The Memo on Saturday 20 September.

Book at www.culturetracks. info on phone 1300 368 333.

CRITICS and audiences are rightly going bananas over this phenomenal sequel to 2011’s Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

In a post-apocalyptic future caused by a viral pandemic, a society of intelligent apes, led by Caesar (Andy Serkis), makes contact with a surviving human settlement.

This uneasy meeting esca-

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

lates into war, as members of both sides scheme to strike out against the other.

For a film with a mostly primate cast, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes is brimming with humanity. The CGI for the apes is incredibly lifelike and expressive, and the apes are some of the most detailed, nuanced and tenderlyobserved film characters in years.

The intelligent, compelling plot features themes of diplomacy and prejudice, as Caesar and the human “ambassador” Malcolm (Jason Clarke) struggle to trust each other and maintain the peace against

intense fear and distrust from both sides. The complex villains - man and ape - are ruthless but motivated by a need to survive, and so make a grim level of sense.

The action is also amazing.

It’s wild but very cleanly-shot and easy to follow, and explosively showcases the strength and ferocity that apes possess.

One stand-out sequence has chimps wielding machineguns on horseback. Enough said.

Believe the hype about this being one of the best sequels ever : Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes is outstanding.

INTO THE HALLS OF HISTORY THIS is an excellent opportunity to purchase a piece of Healesville history and bring the Healesville Mechanics’ Institute back to its former glory.

It is situated just off the main street of Healesville at the west end of town within easy walk to hotels, cafés and restaurants in the heart of the busy Yarra Valley tourism region.

It has potential for accommodation, restaurant/café or art gallery.

Mark Gunther First National would love to see the new owners take the time to care and bring the building back to its former glory.

In her book Healesville Mechanics’ Institute and Free Library 1892-1992, Pamela E Firth said the property was “an excellent

example of a 19th century mechanics’ institute and free library”.

“It has a long and intimate association with the development of Healesville township.

“It is of an interesting architectural style and construction which is unique to the region and had been well restored to near its original condition.

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

“Built in 1892 by France and Wilson, 274 Swan Street, Richmond and Healesville.

Alexander Rodgers (Architect), shire engineer at the time.

“A large hall was added to the rear in 1903.”

The selling agent said a copy of the book may be viewed at The Healesville Historical Society.

Teenagers take reality trip

By KATH GANNAWAY YOUNG people, particularly men 18 to 25, are over represented in road crash deaths.

But too many young women are also killed on the roads.

It’s that age group that the Yarra Valley Emergency Services TRIP (Teenage Road Information Program) is aimed at.

The program is designed to be hard-hitting and is delivered by the people who attend the crash scenes - police, paramedics, CFA and SES volunteers.

They know first-hand the devastation caused and make no apologies for presenting the ‘reality check’ that they hope will save lives.

These programs, not always under the TRIP banner, have been delivered over the past five or so years across the valley, and the aim is always the same, to drive home the message that life is precious and even young people have a responsibility for their own, and for others’ safety.

More disturbing than the graphic images of true-life crash scenes are the heart-breaking stories of loss - not always death.

“With head or spinal injuries your life changes,” one group of young people was told after a chilling video of a man their own age, walking like a robot, shaping his words with a slow, determined drawl, a sad contrast to the beforevideo of him running and laughing down a beach.

His ‘wrong choice’ in getting into a car after a year 12 party meant he would spend the rest of his life in and out of hospital and dependent on his parents and carers.

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

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

He lost his best mate and he was

airlifted to hospital with major injuries.

He was in rehab for months and his injuries meant he had to give up a promising basketball career.

“I can’t imagine the hurt I caused,” he said, of the 1am call his mother received telling her he had been in a serious accident.

Six months later the police were on his door talking about a possible 15 years in jail over drink driving charges.

“I bawled my eyes out,” he said.

“I didn’t know what to do.”

It’s not all about shocking people. There is practical advice and strategies.

The combination of lack of concentration and lack of common sense is a killer.

Alcohol and drugs, fatigue, over confidence, peer pressure and distractions all play a role and the phone is the biggest distraction.

Turn it off.

“Don’t put up with speeding, or encourage it. If you’re in that situation, just say slow down, I’m going to puke”. It’s a plan.

It seems obvious but making the right choices, and that can mean not being the most popular member of the group, is where it starts.

The response to these nights has been satisfyingly overwhelming.

More than 340 young people and family members turned up at Heritage Funeral Homes in Woori Yallock for the first Teenage Road Information Program (TRIP) and there were more than 250 people at the next one.

There is always another generation of drivers about to hit the road, and this TRIP is for them.

The organisers would like to fill the Heritage Funeral Home again no coffins this time around.

They are urging young people who are on the roads, or about to be, and their families, to set aside Wednesday 13 August at 7pm for this potentially life-saving TRIP. Inquiries to yarra.valley.trip@ gmail.com or visit the Facebook page Yarra Valley TRIP.

The TRIP program is delivered by the people who are at the crash scenes 124179

Some big choices

By JODIE SYMONDS CHOOSING a school for your child is a big undertaking.

Whether it’s taking those first exciting steps into primary school, or perhaps the more tentative transition into secondary school, a bit of homework, including some ‘excursions’ before making that decision is a wise investment in your child’s education.

Many schools, both state and private, will have open days and orientation days over the next few months.

The Victorian Education Department recommends that parents and students looking to enrol attend school tours and information sessions as a first step to selecting the right school for a child. “Exploring your options early will give you time to visit different schools, attend information sessions and find a school that meets your child’s needs and aspiration,� the department recommends.

Information or documents you will be asked to provide include evidence of your child’s date of birth, contact details of the parent or guardian, along with health and welfare information.

Throughout Yarra Ranges, most primary schools work in with local pre-schools, and likewise secondary schools with primary schools, to provide ori-

Writers take note

By KATH GANNAWAY

Writer’s Notebook.

“The Writer’s Notebook is the central part of our independent writer’s workshop,” said principal Damian Marley.

“It’s a place where the students form ideas, practice their writing skills and work on their revision.

“After building a bank of writing portions, we then choose to expand them into fully-fledged pieces of writing,” he said.

WARBURTON Primary School is building a community of writers, where ‘old-school’ tools and new ideas come together beautifully.

After receiving literacy funding with three other local schools, Warburton has engaged a literacy consultant to develop teacher capacity in establishing classroom writing communities, centred on the use of the

Mr Marley said the classroom teachers also keep their own Writer’s Notebooks.

“I teach the five-six class on Wednesdays and as I do a lot of writing at home, my Notebook gives me an opportunity to model myself as a writer,” he said.

“My students witness me forming ideas, making mistakes and revising my work.

“It’s an authentic approach to the teaching of literacy.”

Grandpa hangs in there

By KATH GANNAWAY AT 58, Powelltown footballer Peter McConachy admits to struggling with a bit of soreness on occasion.

But an impressive hip-and-shoulder in the last quarter of his milestone 550th game for the club on Saturday, showed he’s still in there when it comes to one of the many skills he’s known for - giving it a red-hot go.

“I’ve always played competitively, it’s the way I’ve played all my football and it’s about leading by example,” he said after playing in the Reserves against a manned-up Yea side on Saturday.

Things haven’t changed all that much on the ground. It’s still grassroots football with the mud and the ups and downs of building teams and getting players and supporters who do it for the club.

He started at nine with Powelltown, wearing No 15, and has been a champion, winning club awards including Under 14 Best and Fairest in 1970.

A highlight of Saturday’s milestone game was meeting up with his

Under14 coach, Lloyd Lacey.

“To have him here on the day for me to play my 550th was pretty unique,” he said.

He added six Seniors and Reserves best and fairests, came runner-up numerous times and in 1984 was league runner-up. Highlights include premierships in 1982, ’89 when he was also club president, and 1996 when he also won League best and fairest.

He loves the game as much as he does the club and is passionate about developing the sort of culture that he has enjoyed and which he says is what keeps players at the club.

He has the respect of the younger players and there’s no doubt they look up to him as a mentor, and as a player who earns his place in the team every week, does the training and supports the club.

“If you look at our seniors now, we have about six or seven who have played right through our Under 18s.

It gives you a good depth of local players and they are the ones who stick around and support the club,” he said.

And, as he told the players, it’s not about playing half a game, or expecting to win if you don’t put in the hard yards at training.

Neither is it all about winning.

“I played in six grand finals, won three and lost three and played a lot of years where we would get beaten by 20 goals. So I’ve had successes and down times.

“If you can nurture the kids properly and take them through the rough times, you build a culture so when you are winning games it is a better feeling,” he said.

“If you go into a high profile side and win everything all the time, that feeling is not the same.”

He puts his fitness down to working in the bush in the logging industry, and keeping moving.

There is no talk of retirement.

“I still love it, still enjoying playing,” he said.

“You’re a long time retired. My theory is if you keep moving, keep active, you don’t rust up.

“I’ve no intentions of retiring.

While I’m still playing a reasonable standard of football, I’ll keep going.”

Proud grandfather, Peter “Maccas” McConachy ran out for his 550th game carrying grandson Kai and with Alex, Molly and Saxon by his side and Charlotte, Jax, Flynn and Lara watching with other family members from the sidelines. 124231 Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY

In the thick of it, McConachy shows his competitive spirit. 124231

Warby battled hard in the third to give it a sneaky chance.

The last quarter was an arm wrestle, both sides scoring 2 goals which saw Olinda record not a pretty win but a win nonetheless.

Awards: J. Johnson, J. Wood, S. Franz, M. Sissins, F. Steel, C. Agnew.

It was a great game by the boys. Good tackling pressure all over the ground which resulted in a lot of possession in our half. Team work and sportsmen ship was outstanding. Well done team.

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

The boys showed great endeavour and gave 100 per cent effort for the first three quarters restricting Emerald to only 4 goals each quarter.

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

Family ties bind

By JAMIE STRUDLEY THE Yarra Ranges Athletics Club showed off its true family values on the weekend, in the process regaining the Knox Open Day Club Champion trophy.

Sixty-three club athletes of all ages cheered, supported and cared for each other and competed with the goal of team success at the Knox Open Day, held on a damp Norton Park cross country circuit.

Knox Open Day is one of only two events on the cross country calendar where we get to compete as a club at an ex-

ternal event, the other being the upcoming Cockatoo Hills Challenge on 9 August. The ability to compete alongside mum and dad or son and daughter is an element of athletics often forgotten. The athletes certainly enjoyed the opportunity this weekend.

The club is exceptionally fortunate to have such a strong family culture throughout the club, making it a very enjoyable experience every time the club gets together.

That strong sense of family, much admired by rival clubs, was no more evident than the
