To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin – Healesville is a place for everyone and everything, everything is in its place…

– Brett Whelan

“

I like everything about Healesville – it’s surrounded by beautiful mountains and forests and wineries, which is fantastic, and it’s quite easy to get to Melbourne…

– Kristof Kaczmarek

“

I would say my favourite thing is the duality between culture and small town living…

– Jesse Wilkinson

“

No matter where I am, I’m always more than happy to come home to Healesville…

“

– Molly Ilsley

“

After working in metropolitan Melbourne throughout my career, I love the sense of community at Healesville High School and in the town generally…

– Healesville High School Principal George Perini

My favourite thing about Healesville has to be Beechworth Bakery. We built a straw bale house just out of town at the end of last year, so we spent plenty of time travelling back and forth for coffees and baked goods. I also love the artsy vibe of the community. It’s the perfect place for artists and musicians to combine and it’s a great place to raise a family…

– Levi McGrath

150 faces of Healesville Celebration of a town THIS week we celebrate the people of Healesville as the town warms up for its 150th year in November.

The idea is to get a timestamp of the town as it is today – so that maybe in another 150 years people can look back on it and see how the town may have changed.

People were chosen at random, down the street or at events where our reporters were out and about.

That’s the great thing about this town – there’s a mixture of people from all walks of life, and opinions.

We don’t profess it to cover all groups, but we believe it’s a great cross-section of people who live, work or play in town and make Healesville what it is today.

This is just one of our special editions that celebrate all things Healesville. Keep an eye out for other projects throughout the year.

Melissa Meehan, Editor.

It’s a sleepy town, but there’s always wonderful things happening. We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else - we absolutely love it…

– Fiona McAllister, Mayor, Yarra Ranges Council

I’ve been in Healesville since 1965. It’s not the same place. We’re not a country town, and they’ve put that down to progress, but the town has to expand, and it’s a great little town.

There’s really nothing I like better than the town…

– Brian Luscombe

Contributors: Jesse Graham, Kath Gannaway, Melissa Meehan, Aneeka Simonis, Jodie Symonds

It’s about the sense of community here and the viability of our recreational areas, places like Badger Weir, Maroondah Dam and particularly Donnelly’s Weir which is more tranquil. I love the fact that we can even see some of the Melbourne plays up here and that we have a local cinema…

– Sharolyn Devitt

I guess the natural environment.

There’s clean water and creeks, there’s tall trees.

It’s beautiful.

And I think it’d be the community and the people here - there are a lot of really nice people…

I think Healesville is the most beautiful place in the country in autumn, particularly with the way the trees change colour. I think it’s amazing…

I just love mixing with people, and I appreciate how they support me…

I’ve lived here pretty much all my life; it’s a good community, a good place ...

I like it…

Mocha & Lime is a cozy Cafe, with fresh homemade, yummy food. We are so proud of what we have accomplished in four short years and couldn’t have done it without the people of Healesville. Kaz, Frankie and Heather would like to thank all the wonderful locals who have supported us and helped us grow into the hub we are today.

Having the opportunity to share an exciting exhibition program (at TarraWarra Museum of Art), featuring both contemporary art and the museum’s public collection, both with visitors and the people who live in this area is a great privilege. I love the spectacular landscape of the Yarra Valley, and our changing exhibitions reflect the changing seasons outside the museum…

– Victoria Lynn

Even though Healesville is expanding, quite a strong community still exists. I actually like to watch the clouds that roll in and that we’re surrounded by this amazing, ever-changing environment…

– Camilla Tadich

In 1952 Healesville was a thriving timber town with some guest houses still operating. There was employment in government bodies such as the SEC and Telecom etc. There was plenty of social life with ballroom dancing and pictures and a local theatrical society, HATS. Healesville is still a great town to live in because it is a country town at heart…

I worked as a telephonist at the Healesville telephone exchange (PMG) and it was great fun, the girls were marvellous. You weren’t allowed to be a telephonist if you were married.

I love driving into or out of Healesville on a rainy night, and how the streetlights look when blurred by the water on the windscreen. The town’s full of beautiful places and moments, if you just look for them. I think, after living here for so long, it’s hard to notice them because they become commonplace, but they’re always there…

YARRA Junction Primary School will get its $2 million upgrade if a Labor government is elected in November.

Shadow Education Minister and Deputy Leader of the Opposition James Merlino visited the school last week with Eildon candidate Sally Brennan to announce the commitment.

The announcement comes after the school council mounted a campaign earlier this year to get funding for new buildings when its arts building was condemned by the Education Department and other problems with old buildings were identified.

Mr Merlino and Ms Brennan congratulated the school on its persistence and commitment.

“Well done on the campaign and for not accepting what is a second rate solution of portables to replace classrooms and re-blocking and quick fixes,” Mr Merlino said.

“The commitment we’re making today is that if we get elected in 129 days, the Labor Government will give $2 million to the school for permanent buildings.

“That would really finish the school with the BER (classrooms provided by the Federal Government under the Building Education Revolution) and the facilities provided by yourself,” he said.

School Council president Brian Westlake said the $2 million would get the school up to the standard it should be.

“It will give us the properly heated and cooled classrooms that we need, a purpose-built art room and free up our library,” he said.

“This is the result of a campaign that showed that parents would not accept the rubbish that’s been thrown at them over this last decade.”

Parent Emma Harrison said the school needed and deserved to be brought up to an acceptable standard.

“We’ve had nothing from the State Government in terms of funding since 1986. We’re a growing community and just because the school is not crumbling down around us doesn’t mean we don’t need work done here, or that we aren’t deserving of funding,” she said.

“Because we are a school community that helps itself, we have been disadvantaged.”

Anyone with information should contact Leading Senior Constable Tony Pagels at Warburton police on 5966 2006, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

FOUR firearms and a gun safe were stolen from a Gladysdale property on 18 July.

Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said the gun safe, which was bolted to the floor, was the target of the thieves.

He said that once the safe was removed, it was then taken to a nearby orchard where entry to the safe was gained.

“This acts as a reminder for gun owners to ensure they have their weapons properly secured,” he said.

Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information regarding the theft.

Taking some great steps to even greater heights Project facilitators Sioux Dollman, Sandy Peeters and Aileen Wright were inspired by international community mosaic projects such as the San Francisco 16th Avenue Tiled Steps project and the Puernto Alto Urban Mosaic project in Chile to create a new piece of Warburton history.

The women collaborated on the design and have shared their artistic and technical skills with the community to create the panels which, when attached to the rises of the 26 steps, form an overall picture from street level.

Ms Dollman said there had been great interest from locals and visitors as the project had come to life in the main street.

With more than 300 people involved in making the panels, the official launch, details of which will be announced shortly, is expected to be a huge community celebration.

The project is funded by Yarra Ranges Council and the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank® branches.of Bendigo Bank.

DIESEL fuel has been syphoned from a number of businesses in the industrial area of Healesville.

Police are investigating the fuel thefts after fuel was stolen from petrol tanks of trucks over the weekend of Friday 19 and Monday 21 July.

THE owner of a distinctive fourmonth-old lamb stolen from Yarra Junction on 13 July is calling on the thieves to return him.

The lamb, named Panda because of his unusual half black/half white patched markings, was part of a group of six purebred Damara sheep kept on a property on the corner of Settlement and Corduroy roads.

Owner Lyn (who asked that her surname be withheld) said Panda was part of an overall flock of 60 sheep that they bred to sell as pets.

“They are an African breed that are particularly placid, hardy, never need shearing, are great grass-eaters and make really great companions,” Lyn said.

Having checked out the flock on the Saturday night, she said she was devastated when she discovered the next morning that the lamb who had very much become a family favourite, was missing.

The group was in a small paddock alongside Settlement Road with the thieves shorting the electric fence to get into the paddock.

“You could see that they had chased the sheep into a corner to grab him and then possibly handed him over the fence to someone else,” Lyn said.

She said it was unfortunate timing that the two German Shepherd dogs that roam the property were not in the paddocks on that particular night.

Because of his stunning mark-

trauma and future disadvantage.

In response to the findings of the 2010 Protecting Victoria’s Vulnerable Children Inquiry, the Coalition Government has launched the new Vulnerable Children Action Plan.

For the first time there is now a whole of government strategy to en-

sure we act earlier when children are vulnerable, intervene to prevent abuse and neglect and improve the lives of children in statutory care.

Better co-ordination and integration will improve families’ access to important services like maternal and child health care and early childhood education. Stronger partnerships across all agencies and targeting programs and services will support and engage vulnerable young people including those in foster care and residential care.

The action plan also focuses on keeping vulnerable young people engaged in education and training.

Enabling young people to under-

take further education and training and giving them the skills and confidence they need to secure work can be a powerful means of breaking the cycle of disadvantage.

Locally a new trial is being conducted in Yarra Ranges to streamline antenatal and early years services to ensure children and families benefit from seamless care.

The Streamlining antenatal-4 services project is led by DEECD and involves both DHS and the Department of Health. The project consists of two parts. Part one of the project, finalised in spring this year aimed to collect data on the efficiency of current services,

STRONG communities such as ours value and cherish our most precious resource, our children.

We strive to nurture, protect and encourage each one to achieve their potential.

However for some, this is not always the reality.

How we look after our vulnerable children has been a cause of concern for many in our community including myself.

We have all recognised that the Victorian community needed to find new ways to safeguard the interests and futures of children and young people who were likely to continue to face danger,

As I get older I want to have choice and control

to identify gaps and overlaps in these services and to identify the evidence behind streamlining these services.

Local government is an important player in streamlining as we all work together to improve the lives and futures of our vulnerable young children.

Teachers and allied health professionals can often be the first to recognise vulnerability and trauma that a young person may be suffering.

Extra training and resources will support our highly skilled and talented professionals here in the Yarra Valley who are committed to providing supportive environments to our young people.

Crossings to close

By JESSE GRAHAM UNDER-USED school crossings face the chop under a Yarra Ranges Council review announced last week.

However councillors said at their 22 July meeting that children’s safety would remain paramount and there would need to be strong reasons to close a crossing The type of road, the number of passing vehicles and pedestrians using the crossings will all be considered as part of the review, which is about “ensuring efficiencies� in costs.

At the meeting, councillor Len Cox said he was hesitant about the review and said he would want to see some strong arguments before any school crossings were closed.

“Crossings are there for a very good reason to protect our children,� he said. “I’m happy for this to go through, but I certainly suggest we need to be very careful about closing down school crossings that are being used.�

Cr Cox’s sentiments were echoed by a number of councillors who said they would need to see evidence that crossings weren’t being used before they supported a closure.

Mayor Fiona McAllister said that, with a fatality and a serious injury occurring at a school crossing in Healesville in recent years, she would also need to see strong evidence before approving any closures.

However, the council has since said it will not compromise on pedestrian safety and that cross-

Water cash will flow

By KATH GANNAWAY FARMERS and orchardists may be able to tap into a creative way to get back a little of the hard-earned money they spend on water.

Southern Rural Water and Melbourne Water are looking for Yarra Valley entries for the 2014 Rural Water Awards - and, apart from the kudos of being recognised for innovative water use, there are cash incentives.

The awards seek to recognise rural water licence holders who are doing clever things with water on their properties to improve water savings or productivity.

The four-award categories include groundwater users, surface water users (rivers or dams), irrigation district water users as well as community or education groups.

In the Yarra Valley, Melbourne Water manages surface water licences, and Southern Rural Water manages groundwater licences.

The awards are organised by Victoria’s water corporations with rural customers, in partnership with the Victorian Farmers’ Federation, the Victorian Water Industry Association and the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.

Regional category winners will receive $500 in cash and will go in the running to win the state award of $2000 in cash for their respective category.

Entries for the awards close at 4pm on 31 August. Nomination forms can be downloaded at vicwater.org.au or via project coordinator April Jenkins on 9639 8868.

ing supervisors, communities and stakeholders will be consulted through the review.

Yarra Ranges Deputy Mayor Maria McCarthy said after the meeting that school crossings programs are partly funded by VicRoads, and funding is determined by the number of pedestrians using them.

Cr McCarthy said the review will identify crossings that no longer meet funding requirements and that new crossings could be added if the demand is identified. “Council is looking forward to seeing the outcomes of the review, before determining a way forward,� she said.

For more information on the review, call Yarra Ranges Council on 1300 368 333.

Writers in the valley AUTHORS will be flocking to the Yarra Ranges next autumn, when a Dandenong Ranges writing festival comes down from the hills and into the valley.

On Monday 28 July, Autumn Authors Festival chairperson Mary Mason announced that the Autumn Authors writers’ festival will be coming to the Yarra Valley next year.

The expansion of the festival, which was run across the Dandenong Ranges last year, was made possible by sponsorships, including $4000 from Healesville’s RACV Country Club.

Though next year’s festival

is still in its preliminary planning stages, Ms Mason said the event would be run for three weeks in May 2015, and will feature well-known writers and local authors.

Festival organiser Melissa Chipp said the community had already given strong support for the festival’s return, after an absence this year. “We’re really happy that the RACV is coming on board to support it,� she said. “It shows the trust that the community has in the festival, that such a great organisation is supporting it.�

One of the drawcard events, a writing competition for school children, will be held in next

DON’T MISS THE

year’s festival, for students across the entire Yarra Ranges municipality.

Ms Mason said the organisers were in discussions with the Wheeler Centre about holding a keynote event for the festival, and finding authors to come to the Yarra Ranges. “We’re hoping to get some fairly well-known people to come to most places, but we haven’t got any confirmations yet,� she said. “We’re hoping to involve local writers, and we might have an open mic session.�

The website for the festival, www.autumnauthors.com, will be launched with more details and confirmed events next year.

Pages from the past

Never forgotten FROM that day on, day and night you shall not be forgotten, for souls were lost and hearts were broken. Sorry for the kids that saw the sight before them as their hearts jumped out of their mouths. They stared frozen in horror as bodies were falling out of the sky. That image from that day will live in their heads for the rest of their lives. Dedicated to all the passengers aboard the plane that had been shot down.

J’Den Ellery, Grade 5, Healesville Primary School.

Motions come out THE Save Healesville Hospital Action Group has been asked to share with the community the three motions referred to (Mail, page one, ‘Strong Medicine’ 22 July).

Three motions were passed unanimously.

1. That we the community call on the Minister of Health to release the data now so the independent community funded business case can be completed.

2.That we the community call on Eastern Health to release the plans for the redevelopment to the general public seeking input and feedback within a month, at an agreed venue and that the community views are clearly included in the final plans.

3. That we the community call on all candidates in the upcoming state election for their support in completing the business case and then implementing the recommendations of the business case should they be elected.

A further motion from the floor was that all parties acknowledge that SHHAG is the legitimate voice of community and acts for the community. This too was passed unanimously by the 150 in attendance on a wet, cold winter’s night.

We were directed to write to the Minister to express our concern about the treatment of the GPs and demand the release of the data and the refurbishment plans. We have asked that questions be asked in parliament about the refusal to release the data to complete the Independent Alternative Business Case which includes a range of options and governance models. A detailed written request for financial and activity data has been requested in writing multiple times.

To date it is disappointing to have to report that not one of our many letters to the Minister

David Davis has received a written acknowledgement, let alone a response to the content. We have written again as requested by our community.

I hope we have good news to report soon.

Let your voice be heard. A petition to be presented to parliament by Cindy McLeish will be circulating soon. We are awaiting her advice on the format required.

Jane Judd, Acting Chair, Save Healesville Hospital Action Group.

Unhealthy environment I AM very concerned with the comments from Eastern Health CEO, Mr Alan Lilly as reported (Mail, 22 July).

Mr Lilly’s assertions that he was unaware of any problems at the clinic until contacted by the Mail, makes me wonder who is acting for EH in dealing with the staff, that has resulted in the departure of two doctors and two top-level administration staff.

Michele Goding’s comment that the clinic is “staffed appropriately” makes me wonder what is “appropriate” and Mr Lilly’s comment that the clinic was providing well and truly beyond what a community health service should provide. I wonder what part of “community” Mr Lilly doesn’t understand.

This would seem to indicate that EH is not familiar with, or listening to this “rural community”. There is a greater interaction, social connection and sense of belonging between our hospital staff, mostly local and this community, than is found in large suburban hospitals.

The assertions of staff harassment are totally unacceptable in the workplace and must be independently investigated and the necessary action taken. An internal investigation by their employer may not uncover the underlying problems due to staff being intimidated by their employer.

Should not the Minister of Health David Davis be taking an interest in the accusations of bullying and harassment of hospital and medical staff by the EH bureaucracy as a part of his ministerial responsibility. A healthy and happy workplace leads to better outcomes for patients and staff.

Arthur Harford, Healesville Action Group.

Warburton Mail July 24 1964 Opening of the New Gospel Chapel ON Friday night and Saturday morning, there was much activity at the new Gospel Chapel in Yarra Junction as final touches were made to the building in preparation for the official opening on Saturday afternoon.

A large crowd arrived for the opening and the police were kept busy directing the many cars that brought people from distant places such as Melbourne, Warragul, Nambrok, Frankston, Dandenong and other localities.

Benwrrin Now a Church Centre ‘ENJOY a holiday and aid a missionary’ is the motto of the committee running the new Benwrrin Inter-denominational Centre at Yarra Junction.

The former guest house was previously managed for 13 years by Mr and Mrs H.W. McDonald and family who have moved to a farm in Lowes Road.

Jeanette and Karen McDonald will be managing the centre which will cater for private guest house parties and social functions as from 3 August.

Milkman Spots Early Morning Fire THE alertness of an early morning milkman at Warburton on Monday prevented what could have been a disastrous fire at the home of Mr and Mrs Alan Story next door to the Alpine Retreat Hotel.

The milkman, Mr Ted Noy, saw the fire burning from the opposite side of the river just after 3am and decided to investigate even though he first thought it was only a stump burning. The fact that it was raining fairly heavily at the time aroused his suspicions that something was wrong.

Both Warburton fire brigades and the SEC were quick to answer the fire siren.

Round Up TWO parlour coaches slid off the edge of Donna Buang Road between Cement Creek and the turntable. The buses, carrying a total of 66 passengers, came to a rest on a perilous angle. The Warburton Motors Tow Truck with Mr Ted Chisholm in charge was called to the scene but the job of hauling the heavy vehicles back on to the roadway was beyond the limitations of the local tow

DISTRICT Billiards Association - A pleasant evening was spent in the Healesville Mechanics’ Institute when the Dr Phillips Shield and cups were presented to the local institute team which won the premiership in the Lilydale District Association.

The winner of the Mechanics’ Institute Centenary tournament (Mr A. Newton) was presented with an eight-day clock and the runner-up (Mr W.P. Douglas) with a handsome vase. In the consolation tournament the winner (Mr. G. Becker) received an order for one pound and the runnerup (Dr S.H. Phillips) a fountain pen.

Friend of the Aborigines BILLY Russell, one of the well-known residents at the Coranderrk settlement at Healesville, has received the following letter from Mrs Annie F. Bon, whose interest is well-known.

‘It gave me very great pleasure to meet you in the shire hall, Healesville, at the unveiling of Barak’s Memorial. It was very thoughtful of the president to give you an invitation and kind of him to bring you to speak to me, for owing to failing sight it is very difficult for me to recognise people even if they are very near to me. I should have loved to have had a long talk with you but time did not permit and I write to show you that I do not forget you.’

Tourist Mountain Roads A GRANT of 20,000 pounds from underemployment relief funds to the Public Works Department was approved by Cabinet on Monday for the construction of tourist mountain roads in the Grampians, Warburton, Narbethong, Mt Buller and Wilson’s Promontory districts. Work will be provided for a large number of men for several months.

Cabinet had decided to introduce legislation this session to establish the toll gate system on these roads so that they could be maintained and improved from time to time. Last year the government granted a substantial amount from relief funds for a similar purpose and one of the roads then dealt with was that to Mt Donna Buang, which has become popular as a winter sports resort.

Late authority on Aussie birds OBITUARY Kenneth Nigel Graham Simpson 1938 - 2014 A GOLDEN whistler seen at a railway station when he was a schoolboy first drew Ken Simpson’s attention to the beauty of Australian birds.

He was already an enthusiastic student of the natural world, but that golden bird set him on a journey which would eventually lead to eight editions of the well-known Simpson and Day ‘Field Guide to the Birds of Australia’, and a lifetime of travelling, lecturing and writing about birds and their habitats.

Ken was educated at University High School, the University of Melbourne and the ANU Canberra. He worked for a variety of institutions including the Austin Hospital, the School of Geology, University of Melbourne, and CSIRO Division of Wildlife Research.

In 1965-66, Ken was part of a CSIRO scientific expedition to Macquarie Island, where he grew very fond of the wekas, brown flightless birds that have a feisty and inquisitive personality. He once built a short flight of steps to the door of a hut, using a mixture which included stale flour.

The steps were promptly eaten by the wekas. Ken’s official duties included the study and photography of royal penguins and the four species of albatross at the island. His interest in seabirds later led to the 1972 publication

of his first book ‘Birds in Bass Strait’, which contained glimpses of his wellknown sense of humour dotted among the factual descriptions. In his final years, he returned again to seabirds, making contact with wildlife carers all along the south coast as he collected records of crested penguins, rare visitors to Australian waters.

From 1967-70, the National Museum of Victoria employed Ken as a Field Officer engaged in Aboriginal archaeology, vertebrate fossil excavation and wildlife surveys along the Murray River between Robinvale and Renmark (in the area of the proposed but never built Chowilla Dam). In 1970, Ken moved to Monash University Zoology Department, working on vertebrate fossil material (mostly fish and marsupials) in south-east Australia. In 1974, Monash awarded him an honorary Master of Science, based on his publications and public lecturing. His final position before retirement in 1992 was as lecturer in geology, ecology and practical environmental science to primary teachers at Deakin University.

Teaching people about natural history was Ken’s passion. In one year, he gave 30 talks to bird lovers, conservation groups, Country Women’s Association, Rotary, Scouts, Parks technical staff, and “anyone who would listen”.

He had joined RAOU (now Birdlife Australia) in 1958, the Royal Society of Victoria in 1967, and supported many other regional bird and field naturalist groups. Over the years he published hundreds of short wildlife observations, describing his life’s work

as “research and reporting of natural history, especially palaeontology and ornithology”. For 12 years he served on a Victorian Evaluation Panel of the Australian Heritage Commission. In 1996 he was awarded the Australian Natural History Medallion “for furthering interest and knowledge in Australian Natural History”.

Ken moved to the Yarra Valley in the early ’90s, an area already familiar to him through excursions of the Bird Observers Club, which he had joined in 1951, at the age of 13. In the 1960s, Ken worked with the Swift Survey, spending many hours counting the swifts that flew over the Don Gap, and in later years he never failed to search the sky for the storm clouds which might herald their arrival.

An enthusiast like Ken never really retired. In 1998 he co-authored with Zoe Wilson a book intended for beginners, ‘Birdwatching in Australia and New Zealand’. He continually revised his Field Guide in the light of new research and the final (eighth) edition was published in 2010. He was a strong supporter of the Yarra Junction Library and could often be found there, surrounded by papers and books, but always willing to chat about the local birdlife. He continued to lead bird walks along the Warburton Trail and around the Yarra Valley until his health failed him.

Ken passed away on 9 July 2014, survived by his brother Peter, his four daughters Catherine, Joanne, Helen and Elizabeth, and his long-time partner, Zoe.

Senior’s horror off-road crash

By KATH GANNWAY AN 81-YEAR-OLD Yarra Glen woman has survived an astounding crash on the Yarra Glen-Healesville Road at Tarrawarra around 3.45pm on Friday.

The woman lost control of the vehicle on a bend, went over the embankment, taking out a huge tree stump on the way through, before hitting a lamp post and bouncing back against a fence.

The woman was still conscious as SES volunteers and paramedics removed her from the car and, with the help of CFA volunteers, stretchered her up the steep embankment to an ambulance.

Leading Senior Constable Gra-

ham Ruse of Yarra Ranges Traffic Control said the car did a full 360 degree spin as it left the road.

Leading Sen Const Rust said Healesville police were investigating the crash and would be including the age of the woman as a possible contributing factor in trying to establish the circumstances.

“There could be any number of reasons in a situation where you have the driver going down a hill into a left-hand bend, hit the brakes, and unless you have traction control and can drive through with the braking, the force is going to push you straight ahead, and in this case, off the edge,” he said.

The woman was taken to Maroondah Hospital.

Winter jump starts WINTER isn’t just the time for sickness, scarves and hail - it’s also the time of the year that car batteries are most likely to go flat.

According to Budget Direct Roadside Assistance, over the last six years, 48 per cent of calls made to the company in winter were for flat batteries.

Callouts for flat batteries increased by 26 per cent on average throughout autumn and winter, according to the six years of data, released on 16 July.

According to Battery Council International, a fully-charged battery has 100 per cent of its power available in 27 degree temperature, but only two thirds power available when temperatures reach freezing point.

During winter, oils can thicken in the cold weather, so batteries need to work harder to keep a car going.

A Budget Direct representative said that parking a car inside a garage can help to prevent a battery from going flat, or not working in cold weather.

They said a survey conducted last year with 1436 people showed that 47 per cent of respondents didn’t feel comfortable jump-starting their own car, while 66 per cent of respondents would call for assistance.

Only 13 per cent of respondents said they would try to fix the problem themselves.

To jump-start a car, first ensure that the car with a flat battery is turned off, with its headlights off.

Using either a portable power pack or another car, use jumper leads to connect the red lead to the positive battery terminal on the flat battery and the black cord to the negative terminal of the good battery.

The other end of the black cord should be attached to a metal earthing point, such as a bolt or bracket, away from the battery.

Turn on the working car or power pack, and try starting the car with a flat battery after around two minutes.

If the car turns on, remove the leads in the opposite order, and drive for around 30 minutes to charge the battery.

Rego fines are rising

By JESSE GRAHAM POLICE have warned drivers to be wary of unregistered driving, with fines rising earlier this month and potential impacts on TAC claims.

As of 1 July, the penalty for driving unregistered rose to $738, but Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Leading Senior Constable Graeme Rust said that not paying rego fees could have more drastic impacts.

“If you’re involved in an accident and you forgot the pay the rego, that’s where you can have a big issue,” Leading Sen Const Rust said.

“They (the Traffic Accident Com-

mission) may refuse to approve your claim,” he said.

The TAC pays compensation to people injured, or families of a person killed in accidents on Victorian roads, or interstate if the person is a Victorian resident.

A Traffic Accident Charge is part of the registration renewal that VicRoads sends, and provides insurance if the vehicle’s owner is involved in a crash.

However, benefits for loss-of-earnings aren’t available to the owner of an unregistered vehicle if they’re the driver or passenger in the car in an accident.

private land are also exempt from benefits if they are involved in an accident with the car, whether they are a driver, passenger or pedestrian.

“The TAC component ... doesn’t come into play because the car is unregistered,” Leading Sen Const Rust said.

“Your private insurance could also lapse because one of the conditions is that your private insurance provider usually requires the car to be currently registered,” he said.

With unregistered driving fines totalling about the same amount as an annual registration fee, Leading Sen Const Rust said that vehicle owners

should just pay their rego when it is due.

He said the onus is on drivers to ensure their car has current registration, and to ensure that VicRoads is notified as soon as the owner has changed their address.

“The onus is on the owner to ensure that their vehicle is registered and roadworthy,” he said.

“If you’re driving unregistered, you’re liable for a penalty.”

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, 29 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.

Sense of self out of place of chaos

By ANEEKA SIMONIS THE Basin Theatre Group is ready to wow audiences with a former Broadway production set to grace its stage.

The Other Place, written

by American playwright Sharr White, is a tale about relationships, chaos, loss and human resolve which made its successful debut at the renowned theatre in 2011.

The main character is a middle-aged woman with a highly successful career as a scientist but her life comes crashing down as things start to go awry.

Director Barry O’Neill said the storyline absorbs audience members, forcing them to relate and question how they would work through sim-

ilar situations in their lives.

“It makes audience think what happens when you are at the top of your profession and things go wrong,” he said.

Of the play, White said the script plants difficult ideas about family life and understanding one’s sense of self.

“It’s about the smartest woman on earth who discovers nothing she knows is true,” he said.

The Basin’s production company is the first Australian non-professional group to premiere the 70-minute dramatic piece.

It makes up the third season for The Basin Theatre Production’s 60th anniversary, following the Quartet and The Diary of Anne Frank which

ran earlier this year.

The cast and crew have been rehearsing for the past six weeks ahead of their debut on 15 August.

The season will run from 15 August to 6 September with matinees on 17, 21 and 24 of August.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for members and $20 for people who book in groups of 10 or more.

Audiences will be provided with light refreshments throughout the production as well as get the opportunity to meet with the cast after the show.

To book, go to www.thebasintheatre.org.au or make a phone booking between 7pm and 9pm on 1300 784 668.

Consummate flop Sex Tape Starring: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Rob Corddry, Ellie Kemper Rated MA15+ for strong sex scenes, sexual references, coarse language and drug use SEX Tape is one big, throbbing empty void of a comedy.

Married couple Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) decide to film a sex-tape after a long dry spell, but Jay accidentally uploads their sextape to the Cloud, where all their friends and family risk seeing it.

Sex Tape somehow both underestimates and overestimates its audience.

the physical.

The laboured humour is too tame for the cheeky premise and the shallow dialogue is irritating.

Much of the run-time is also a contrived fetch quest with huge plot-holes from all the technology misunderstandings as Jay and Annie race to contain the sex-tape leak.

I’m no prude, but Sex Tape is glaringly superficial, dumb and corny.

If you stayed home and made your own kinky video, it would probably be a lot more entertaining and worthwhile than this film.

HEALING LAST WEEKS

WHEN the Artrageous Painters of Warburton decided it was time to launch their biggest ever exhibition, they went into it with an “anything is pozible’ attitude.

Speaking on behalf of the group, which has painted together for about 10 years, Kate Collins said The Upper Yarra Valley Art Show will be open to all artists and there is an opportunity for everyone to be involved.

The group went live on the crowdfunding site Pozible with the aim of raising $4000 and with 29 days to go on Friday they were well on their way with $1343 pledged.

The cut-off time is 4.06pm on 23 August.

The show will be held in a beautiful space at the Alpine Hotel from 3 to 12 October.

It will take in two weekends including the Upper Yarra Garden Club’s Open Garden weekend which attracts huge crowds to the district.

The funds will be used to promote the event and for practical items such as a hanging system for the various rooms, screens and prize money.

Artrageous artists Kate Collins, Chris Dimmock, Sue Slusarek and, painting, Penny Murphy, are engaging new technology to promote traditional art. 124537 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY For those who donate money there are rewards such as original art cards, original paintings, even a portrait of a chosen per-

son or pet.

Cultural connection collection DISCOVER the weird and wonderful at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum in August.

Uncovered: The Yarra Ranges Collection, is a new, temporary exhibition that will connect residents to local stories and the history of the region through Yarra Ranges Regional Museum’s significant collection.

The exhibition opens at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum on Saturday 2 August.

The exhibition features previously unseen objects from the museum’s collection including weird, wonderful and important objects that make up Yarra

Ranges’ history.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Fiona McAllister said the exhibition will allow residents and visitors to experience and interact with the region’s history and stories to better understand its cultural identity.

“I hope that when you come away from Uncovered, you’ve experienced something special.

“The rich history of this area is being collected and presented, it is something all residents can feel proud of,” Cr McAllister said.

Upstairs, visitors can step into the shoes of a museum

worker and learn how to collect, catalogue, preserve and display objects with items from the handling collection.

“It’s not all about looking at objects,” Cr McAllister said.

“You can interact with them, touch the handling collection and arrange it for yourself.

Uncovered: The Yarra Ranges Collection will show at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum, 3537 Castella Street, Lilydale.

The exhibition opens Saturday 2 August and runs to 2 November and entry is free.

Studies show that most married couples have a lot more sex than the film suggests.

The film also assumes of its older audience an ignorance of technology that, in this hyperconnected world, largely isn’t the case any more.

Apple - which this film feels like blatant advertising for - even released a statement saying that the premise is impossible.

Segel and Diaz have decent chemistry but no characterisation to back it up.

We never get to know them as people beyond their obsession with sex or learn why they love each other beyond

HEALESVILLE

ENJOY the breathtaking views from this spacious family home while relaxing on the huge covered deck.

THE five bedrooms (ensuite and walk-through robe to master) can cater for the larger family or guests wanting to stay and enjoy the scenery.

There is gas ducted heating throughout, as well as a cosy Coonara wood heater for those cold winter days, while the generous downstairs area is ideal for teenagers to retreat to or even potential dependent accommodation.

The backyard is large and usable with room for chooks or pets whilst being quite private and secure. And what a prime location being close to cafes, shops and town facilities. Homes coming on the market in this location are rare so don’t hesitate or you’ll be too late.

AGM

Fox control – Lake Eildon National Park, Rubicon State forest, Cathedral Range State Park, Marysville State forest, Yarra Ranges National Park and Toolangi State forest The Department of Environment and Primary Industries and Parks Victoria are committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks, reserves and state forests across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy, the Department of Environment and Primary Industries is continuing to lay buried baits containing sodium luroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes.

Baiting commenced Monday 13th January 2014 and will continue until Friday 19th December 2014.

Baits have been laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the above mentioned forests and parks, and within the vicinity of townships Eildon, Rubicon, Taggerty, Buxton, Marysville, Narbethong, Healesville, Warburton and Toolangi.

1080 poison signs have been posted throughout the baited areas and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named areas are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under efective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.

Further details may be obtained by contacting Emily Borton at the Department of Environment and Primary Industries at Alexandra on (03) 5772 0200. www.depi.vic.gov.au Customer Service Centre 136 186

Four push for the front YVMDFNL Wrap 26 July WHAT another week of football and netball in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Community Bank Football Netball League.

Division 1 has four teams sitting equal on top of the ladder - Wandin, Monbulk Upwey Tecoma and Olinda Ferny Creek.

Division 2 has Seville one game clear of Yarra Glen but all that could change next week.

Netball sees Upwey Tecoma one game clear of Wandin and Yarra Glen six points clear of Seville.

The games next week have a lot riding on them as Wandin takes on Upwey Tecoma while Seville takes on Yarra Glen in both football and netball.

SENIORS DIVISION 1 Healesville 11.9 (75) d Mount Evelyn 10.9 (69) This was an outstanding battle from start to finish with the lead never getting beyond six points for the majority of the game. The first quarter was goal for goal and Healesville held a narrow two-point advantage at the first break.

The second long break saw a onegoal advantage.

The second at three quarter time were all tied and the scene was set for a great last quarter.

There weren’t a lot of goals kicked in the last term but it was Healesville that kicked the critical goal that gave the team the all-important lead and it was able to hold on to it until the final siren to record a fantastic victory and put a dent in Mount Evelyn’s finals aspirations.

Warburton Millgrove 10.16 (76) d Belgrave 3.10 (28) Warburton was terrific in its win over Belgrave holding its opponents to just one goal after quarter time. Warby held just a one-goal lead at the first change but it was all its game after that.

They stretched that lead to 17 points at half time and then held Belgrave goalless in the second half to run away with the game and win by a resounding 48 points in what was a dominating display despite the low scoring.

Upwey Tecoma 8.8 (56) d Woori Yallock 7.12 (54) This was the Grand Final replay from last season and this time the result was reversed as Upwey was able to hold on to win a great encounter that was in the balance throughout the four quarters.

State champions THE Yarra Ranges Athletics competed at the State Little Athletics Cross Country Championships held on a tough course at Bundoora Park on Saturday. Twenty-six club athletes took the opportunity to compete against the best athletes in the state with outstanding results from all of them.

A sensational 5th place at the World Junior Athletics Championships by past club athlete Zak Patterson was the final piece of motivation required to bring out the competitive spirit in our future athletics stars. The highlight of the day was the third place team medal for our Under 15 girl’s team of Molly

Dixon, Amy Veenendaal and Tammarah Brown.

This event will be the last event the girls can compete in as little athletes, a team medal was a fitting reward for their efforts over the past few years.

Other medals went to Kiara Flavel (1st U8 Girls), Madeline Laven (3rd U9 Girls), Georgia Laven (1st U11 Girls), Lily Peacock (2nd U12 Girls), James Laven (2nd U14 Boys) and our U13 Girls team of Lily Thompson, Lee Taylor and Rickylee Brown (3rd). Well done also to the other competing athletes. The club is extremely proud of all its members and their efforts throughout the

Scoreboard

day both in competing and supporting. Many of the fields had over 60 competitors making competition very tough.

Next week is the club Cross Country Championships at Morrison’s Reserve, Mount Evelyn.

Events kick off at 8.45am for what is sure to be a great morning of cross country.

Everyone is welcome, all you need is your runners, the barbecue will be on, too. Go to www.yarrarangesathletics.org.au for more information on upcoming events, especially the Cockatoo Hills Challenge, and full results from the weekend.

Under 15 placegetters Molly, Tammarah and Amy.

The ladies winner was Heather Jenkins (26) with 35 points followed by Gail Leigh (11) with 31 points.
