Anzacs stand firm

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS, RUSSELL BENNETT AND PETER DOUGLAS

Samuel and William Arrowsmith stood proudly at the Gembrook memorial to honour the Anzacs.

Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT

Also addressing the crowd was Max Cowie, who spoke of his grandfather and Monbulk war hero, James Cowie.

Max described his grandfather as a complex man, but one who thoroughly deserved the plaudits he received, including being awarded the Military Cross.

In Mount Evelyn, between 15002000 people came out to pay their respects, with local singer, Alex Borg, performing his own ode to the Anzacs – Midnight in the City.

The catafalque party of the 22nd Engineer Regiment stood guard at the

cenotaph while the ceremony took place, and residents, veterans and descendants of Gallipoli soldiers later marched to the RSL. Long before the crowd gathered on Saturday morning, a lone figure stood silent at Emerald’s Anzac Place – the statue of the unknown soldier.

By the time the service began, shortly after 5.30am, thousands of locals had lined the streets surrounding the RSL and Anzac Place. “Those sounds were the baptism of fire for not only the young Anzacs, but also the young Turkish defenders – it

was their first experience of war, and for so many it was their last,� said Emerald RSL president, and Vietnam veteran, Peter Maloney.

At the Cockatoo morning service, locals young and old marched step by step from the primary school down to the RSL. Cardinia Shire councillor Jodie Owen spoke at the intimate ceremony of the need to support today’s servicemen and women when they return home.

While they head overseas full of life, some return with injuries – either physical or mental.

Pastor Owen Prout led those in attendance in a rendition of the Lord’s Prayer, but added that often a soldier’s prayer would be so much shorter than that. Often just one word – help.

Massive crowds also turned out to Gembrook’s dawn and morning services at the memorial on the corner of Redwood and Pakenham roads, with a gunfire breakfast also held at the Gembrook Community Centre.

RAIN COULD not dampen the Anzac spirit at the dawn service and street march at the Upwey-Belgrave RSL. Proceedings were led by RSL president David Eaton, who gave a stirring rendition of The Ode. Mr Eaton estimated an attendance of about 4000, saying: “It was the largest turnout to a dawn service I can remember.�

State Member for Monbulk, James Merlino, was first to lay a wreath at the RSL’s memorial.

The wet was no match for the hundreds who participated in the march led by Upwey High School music students.

Veterans, current servicemen and women, emergency service groups, Scout groups and local townspeople all walked the street in a show of respect.

Meanwhile, at the Upper Ferny Creek Avenue of Honour, the atmosphere was electric due to the early morning mist.

President of the Dandenong Ranges RSL, Mr Peter Rickard, led proceedings for the dawn service, with guest speaker, Lieutenant Mile Glamcevski, explaining to the crowd his connection with Anzac Day. Lt Glamcevski spoke of his father’s involvement in conflict, as well as those who personified the Anzac spirit. “We cannot forget these men were not a contingent of professional soldiers,� he said, “But ordinary Australians who believed in protecting their loved ones.“ At Monbulk, a huge crowd lined the streets to witness the mid-morning Anzac march from the Mitre 10 store to the Monbulk RSL. Monbulk RSL president, Bill Ford, welcomed the community and the special guests, which included Vietnam veteran and Monbulk RSL vice-president, John Surridge; and Member for Monbulk, James Merlino.

Feds join fight for possums THE FIGHT to save the Leadbeater’s Possum is heading towards a tipping point according to the Federal Government, which last week listed the animal as being on the brink of extinction.

But timber industry representatives have said protection measures are doing enough for the animal, and warned of losses if the government closed down local logging.

On Wednesday 22 April, Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt announced that the status of the possum had been upgraded to critically endangered, following the release of a Threatened Species Scientific Committee report.

The report lists a “high likelihood” that the Yellingbo population of the possum, down to 40 animals, would go extinct in the next 100 years, and a 92 per cent chance of ecosystem collapse in Mountain Ash Forest populations by 2067.

It ends with a damning recommendation for the timber industry, that the most effective way to prevent population decline “is to cease timber harvesting within mountain ash forests of the Central Highlands.”

Mr Hunt said the animal would now receive “the highest level of protection under national environment law”, and that urgent action was needed in the next 12 months to halt declining population numbers.

He said he had written to his Vic-

torian Government counterpart, Environment Minister Lisa Neville, about updating the animal’s draft recovery plan and taking actions to address the upgraded status.

Listing the major threats to the animal as feral cats, fire and habitat loss through timber harvesting, Mr Hunt said the government would take action to eradicate feral cats around the country, as they are also a threat to many other endangered animals.

When asked about the possibility of creating a new national park, which has been long pushed-for by Australian National University Professor David Lindenmayer and environmental groups, Mr Hunt said the Federal Government was not against the proposal.

“It may well be something that the state chooses to do,” he said.

“As part of the Recovery Plan, that’s a question I’ll have to answer.

“We’re absolutely not opposed to it, and ... it may put more pressure on the state to do something like that.”

The Mail contacted Ms Neville’s office with questions about the State Government’s stance on the national park proposal - referred to as the Great Forest National Park (GFNP) by supporters - and what measures would be looked at to protect the possum.

A spokeswoman for Ms Neville said the government was implementing the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) recommendations endorsed by the previous government,

Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt and Threatened Species Commissioner Gregory Andrews with a Leadbeater’s Possum at Healesville Sanctuary, with keeper, Kathy. 138238 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM and would “support the establishment of an Industry Taskforce” to bring a “best practice approach”.

“It would involve government, industry and science working together to reach common ground on the issues facing the industry, such as job protection, economic activity and protection of our unique native flora, fauna and threatened species,” the spokeswoman said in a written statement.

But the LPAG recommendations, which came with an $11 commitment

from the government, were dismissed

by Prof Lindenmayer last year as not doing enough for the animal.

VicForests’ general manager of stakeholders and planning, Nathan Trushell, said the timber industry and the possum could co-exist, and that the industry had improved practices to protect the animal.

“We share everyone’s concern over the future of this important species and have listened to feedback from scientists and the community

about ways we can modify our operations in order to protect the possum,” Mr Trushell said.

“We recognised we needed to make changes to the way we operate since the 2009 fires and have been involved in implementing a range of measures which have reduced harvest levels and resulted in more than 20,000 hectares of potential habitat being set aside.”

Mr Trushell said that if a national park was established, thousands of jobs would be impacted and pressure would shift to developing nations for timber needs.

The Central Highlands population of the possum is estimated to be between 2500-10,000, according to the Scientific Committee report, and 45 per cent of the animal’s habitat was destroyed in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires.

At a press conference at Healesville Sanctuary on Thursday 23 April, Mr Hunt and Threatened Species Commissioner Gregory Andrews announced a Threatened Species Summit that would be held in Melbourne on 16 June.

Mr Hunt said that he hoped the Victorian Government would take a “strong stance” on the upgrading of the possum’s status, but did not want to speculate on its potential actions.

Community hub a coup for our health A NEW community hub planned for Belgrave will provide upgraded facilities with disability access to accommodate numerous community services under the one roof.

The Belgrave Community Hub will house services including the council’s maternal and child health, youth and aged and disability services.

It will also be home to community health service provider Inspiro and the Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief service.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Maria McCarthy said the hub would provide services that complemented those offered by GPs. “The Belgrave Community Hub is not about offering identical services to those provided by a GP,” Cr McCarthy said.

“While there is a good supply of GPs for residents in Belgrave and surrounding areas, the same can’t be said for a range of other allied health services.

“The community hub will help us respond to the high demand in the Belgrave area for allied health, family and children and dental services, as well as specialist services including social support for older people and people experiencing family violence.”

Cr McCarthy said the council and Inspiro were also keen to see mental health services, such as Headspace, provide outreach from the hub for young people experiencing mental health issues.

Visiting counselling services for victims of sexual assault or people experiencing financial hardship were also expected to operate from the hub.

“Currently, these types of services are not readily available in this area, and the public dental waiting list for people needing dentures is around three years.

“The new community hub will provide these important services and support networks to those who are most in need.”

Inspiro chief executive officer Karyn McPeake said the new health hub would also respond to the need for upgraded facilities to accommodate many community services that were operating out of unsuitable buildings.

“Many buildings currently used are difficult to access for elderly clients or people with disabilities, which can make it difficult to attract other community service providers to operate out of Belgrave,” Ms McPeake said.

“Everyone who visits us for services deserves to be treated in a comfortable

Mayor Maria McCarthy, Inspiro CEO Karyn McPeake and chairman of the Inspiro Board Stephen Potter looking over the plans for the building. and pleasant environment and the health hub is vital to improve and increase our services in the local area for a healthier community.”

Cr McCarthy said the Belgrave Community Hub had received tremendous support from people in the community.

“This is a very exciting project for

our community which we believe will support the wonderful work GPs provide in this area,” Cr McCarthy said.

“We look forward to meeting with local GPs to discuss this project further and look at how this facility can support their practices through its range of complementary services.”

Two men to front court over stolen machinery A LAUNCHING Place man and a Healesville man will face court later in the year after trucks and machinery were stolen from Boronia last week.

Knox Crime Investigation Unit Detective Senior Constable Kevin Morgan said that a truck, a bobcat, an excavator and a trailer were all stolen from Boronia on Monday 20 April.

Police recovered the trucks and machinery later in the day, and later executed a search warrant at a property in Launching Place.

A 45-year-old Healesville man has been charged with handling stolen goods and drug offences, while a 35-year-old Launching Place man has been charged with receiving stolen goods.

Both have been bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 26 August.

Animal

aid

Debra Boland

THIS year National Volunteer Week will be celebrated from 11-17 May. Every day around the country, people are giving of their time and skills to assist organisations that are trying to make a difference for their chosen cause.

At Animal Aid, we are so grateful to our volunteers.

Their contributions as board members, working at our Coldstream, Bairnsdale and Sale shelters, as well as our opportunity shops in Blackburn, Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance and Croydon South, play a huge part in why we are the organisation we are today.

In Australia, we are known to have a culture of giving, measured by our propensity to donate money, volunteer or simply provide help to someone who needs it whether they are known to us or not.

It is said that the three main reasons that people volunteer are: Self-serving - because they want to help/give

Social - to be part of something/a friend asked them to Belief - passion for the cause Other reasons are as basic and practical as seeing what a work place is like, volunteer experience looks good on your resume and to gain work experience.

Volunteering is a two-way street; charities reap the rewards of their participation while the volunteers gain a truckload of feel good perks along the way.

It brings people together and helps to foster social inclusion and provides opportunities to make new friends and gain new skills. Volunteers and donors are definitely the

lifeblood of Animal Aid and they help keep the shelter doors open for thousands of needy animals each year.

With around 450 active volunteers and a volunteer to staff ratio of 9:1, volunteers provide around 60,000 man hours to Animal Aid each year, a huge contribution.

They have such a positive impact every day. We acknowledge the commitment they have and appreciate their dedication and incredible generosity.

So whatever the reason people choose to volunteer, at Animal Aid we are truly grateful that they do, because we can’t do without them.

They’re two of the best

By PETER DOUGLAS LOCAL identities Peter Maloney and Sheila Hampson have been announced as this year’s Emerald Citizens of the Year.

As a testament to the pair’s fine work in the community, the judges could not separate the two winners.

In front of locals, families and friends during the PAVE Festival, at St Mark’s Church, the pair were presented with their awards.

The recipients received their awards from the Emerald Village Committee’s chairperson, Graham Dunstan, and Cardinia Shire (Ranges Ward) councillor, Brett Owen.

Mr Maloney has been an Emerald resident for almost 20 years and, during that time, has been heavily involved with the community.

He has worked with Puffing Billy Tourism, radio station 3MDR, the Emerald Village Committee and the local RSL club.

In 2013, Mr Maloney initiated the Anzac Walk project, which

came to fruition in March this year, when Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove, launched the Walk.

Mr Maloney has been described as having “huge community energy”, who initiates, inspires and is prepared to see projects through to completion.

Meanwhile, Ms Hampson has lived in Emerald since 1989 and has been a major contributor to the town.

She is involved in numerous organisations, such as Friends of Emerald Lake Park, the Emerald Tennis Club, Clean Up Australia Day, and the Shire Graffiti Reference Group.

Ms Hampson has been described as a highly regarded member of all the groups she works with.

Other nominees were Sharon Davies, Michelle Farram, Barry Harris, Vivienne Rogis and Penelope Swales.

The nominees were presented with certificates to acknowledge their contribution to the community.

Pictured with their awards are Peter Maloney and Sheila Hampson.

Anzac Avenue the work of dedicated team

By PETER MALONEY PRESIDENT, EMERALD RSL ON 11 MARCH the sun shone on Emerald.

The Emerald RSL and the Emerald community welcomed Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Cosgrove to officially open the Anzac Walk and Anzac Place.

These two additions, together with the Statue of the Unknown Soldier, formed part of the RSL’s contribution to the 2015 Centenary of Anzac celebration.

All three are, I believe, wonderful places for reflection on the history of Australians in conflict, but especially our own Emerald people who have been involved over time.

To ensure these projects happened on time required quite a few dedicated and talented men, and their input as volunteers should be acknowledged.

Firstly, Russ Nielsen who designed all parts of the project and liaised continually with the Governor-General’s department, Geoff Spring who managed the project and liaised with government departments regarding funding, Kevin Alexander our ‘council man’ who ensured all infrastructure happened efficiently and effectively.

Finally, the two men who ensured the opening ceremony happened as planned, Tony Shovelton and Matt Collopy from Puffing Billy.

We formed a formidable team.

And, of course, local sculptor Ronnie Sexton for her magnificent statue.

During the launch, Peter Maloney walks with Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove.

These men, together with the Emerald RSL Committee, Puffing Billy Railway and the people, schools, businesses and community groups of Emerald, who embraced the occasion by dressing in period costume, combined to make

this day one of the most memorable in the history of Emerald. Many photos of the day can be viewed at emeraldrsl.com.au.

It should be noted that this event could not have happened without the Shire of Cardinia.

Picture: PETER DOUGLAS Thank you to Garry McQuillan and his team.

This year will certainly be a year to remember.And I was a proud president of the Emerald RSL on that day Sir Peter came to town.

Emerald, take a bow.

Lenscape

Broken record hard to swallow IN KARL Williams’ letter (Macca’s Cash Hard To Swallow, Mail, 14 April), he forgot to mention he is one of the key anti-Macca’s protesters.

But, that aside, I’m certain that if the RSL had any concerns about a $500 donation, they would have refused it.

And donations from other terrible big businesses like Bunnings and Bendigo Bank also, of course.

What do you suggest, Karl?

McDonald’s close Ronald McDonald House and stop donating to local communities?

Karl’s mention of Anzacs, slouch hat and Upwey RSL is a sad reminder of the behaviour of the protest group to Upwey RSL last year.

If anyone wants some insight, Google ‘Toorak Times - Lest we Forget’ - it seems some people have forgotten - for an independent review from last Anzac Day. Macca’s is in Tecoma, and legally so.

Isn’t it time to get on with life and stop grieving?

Brian Hannan, Emerald.

End of days THE commemoration of Anzac Day is a wonderful tradition, a day each and every one should always remember.

Together with Australia Day, they are without doubt the two most important days on our nation’s calendar.

The same cannot be said for many of the other days designated as public holidays.

It is time the Queen’s Birthday, Melbourne Cup Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday and Easter Monday were dumped.

In addition, Easter Saturday and Sunday, as well as Grand Final eve, should never be considered again when setting public holidays.

The aforementioned days should be replaced by an additional week of annual leave and a new public holiday that can be used to inspire and motivate our youth.

I am sure many people would choose a week’s annual leave over a mishmash of days

IN ANOTHER wonderful addition for Lenscape in the Mail, Robyn Kuys from Emerald took this ripper at Emerald Lake Park during a weekend visit. According to Robyn, her grandchildren inspired this image.

“I love making characters for my grandchildren from our beautiful nature,” she said.

“The varied colours of the chestnuts were perfect.”

Workers could still remember the eight-hour day on Labour Day and followers of the Christian religion could still celebrate Christmas Day. Australia Day, Anzac Day and New Year’s Day obviously must be retained.

Our new day should be added to celebrate the life of a great scientist such as Charles Darwin, Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking or Australia’s own Howard Florey.

When is enough, enough I HAVE the strongest possible complaint about these protesters in Tecoma; this time overstepping the line.

They were recently holding out a puppet of Ronald McDonald hanging by the neck from a rope on a stick.

As a parent of a child whose life ended in this way, I find it totally obscene and disgraceful.

For me, and others who have been touched by such tragedy in their family, these people have shown themselves to be completely insensitive.

Without proper cause, they have been allowed to defile the area.

No more anti-Macca’s.

You are not welcome.

Michael Alexander, Belgrave.

East-West Link a priority investment DANIEL Andrews and Bill Shorten stand condemned for their opposition to the East

West Link and the loss of 7000 construction related jobs.

Bill Shorten’s opposition to this vital road and desertion of the people of the outer east and Yarra Valley is particularly galling - given he used to spruik the importance of the road for families, and jobs.

In a formal submission, while AWU Secretary, Bill Shorten said: “A new east-west link is a priority infrastructure investment and major project.”

Labor now has no major infrastructure projects ready to go in Victoria.

Their recklessness in cancelling the East West Link, with no shovel ready alternative, will have a major impact on jobs and business in Victoria.

The Australian Government continues to have $3 billion on the table for the construction of this critical road.

All set for a day of days PEOPLE in their thousands came out over the weekend for Anzac Day centenary commemorations, with dawn services, marches and daytime services receiving record attendances.

Through the Yarra Valley and Dandenongs, around the country and the world, people stopped to remember the soldiers who fought for their countries on 25 April 1915, and more recent conflicts over the last 100 years.

Ice action plan is needed now to stop the harm The state of

affairs James Merlino MP Member for Monbulk

THE scourge of ice has impacted countless communities across Victoria.

This is why I was pleased that our government recently announced Victoria’s Ice Action Plan – a landmark

$45.4 million effort to reduce the supply, demand and harm of ice within our communities.

This evil drug and those who distribute it have wreaked havoc throughout our state, targeting the most vulnerable within our society with this poison.

There is no doubt that action needed to be taken and our plan is an important step forward in our fight against this drug.

It includes an $18 million commit-

ment to expanding drug treatment and rehabilitation facilities that will help users get the help they desperately need.

Last week we also announced the establishment of a new Ice Help Line.

The 24/7 Help Line – 1800 ICE ADVICE (1800 423 238) directs users and families to vital treatment and support services and provides general information to the community about ice.

The Andrews Labor Government is committed to tackling this issue head-

on and this initiative stems from the work of the Ice Taskforce, established soon after we formed government last year.

Ice is ruining lives across our state; it’s highly addictive and has a terrible impact on the user’s mental and physical health.

Whether you live in the hills, suburban Melbourne or within regional or rural Victoria, the insidious nature of this drug has shown us that our community is just as vulnerable as any.

Wounded walk

By LARISSA KUZEFF THE Yarra Ranges region is being encouraged to dig deep and help out wounded, returned Australian soldiers.

Walking Wounded will be holding a fund-raising event at Queens Park Sound Shell on Saturday 1 August, at 2.30pm as part of its nationwide project, Traverse of Australia.

This project will see a team walk 65km per day for 65 days, followed by a kayak across Bass Strait, starting at Cape York in Queensland and finishing up at South East Cape in Tasmania.

The team is due to reach Healesville on 1 August. The charity aims to help veterans and families of soldiers who did not make it from war.

They help rebuild lives through meaningful employment, networking, counselling and mentoring programs.

Services suffer in silence

By JESSE GRAHAM

“

The journey will arguably be the greatest human endurance ever carried out…

Brian Freeman

Founder and chief executive officer, Brian Freeman, who is also a veteran, is inviting locals to get involved.

“During the traverse, we’ll travel through 89 cities and towns,” he said.

“Our support teams, fund-raisers and merchandise vehicles will visit and spend time in every city and town we pass through.

“At all larger towns and cities, we’re inviting people to join us for the final 20, 10, 5 or 2km run and/ or walk into town.”

Walking Wounded is aiming to raise $2 million, which will go towards suicide prevention and intervention, counselling and employment guidance. This will help returned Australian soldiers recover from physical and psychological impairment.

Mr Freeman said the project would test out those involved.

“The journey will arguably be the greatest human endurance ever carried out,” Mr Freeman said.

“Our aim is to make a grand and lasting difference to the lives of contemporary veterans while honouring those people who made the supreme sacrifice.”

The tribute to the Anzacs started at Mount Everest Base Camp on 2 April this year.

The Ice Action Plan makes it easier for those addicted and those close to them to get the help they need.

It’s time we stepped up in our fight against this evil drug within our community.

Our Ice Action Plan will help reverse the devastating impact of this drug.

I strongly encourage anyone who has been touched by this epidemic to call the help line and make sure that you have access to all available support.

Veteran and chief executive officer of Walking Wounded, Brian Freeman.

AN Upwey father is campaigning for the ADF to adapt its privacy laws to inform family members of suicide attempts, after losing his son three years ago.

Mark Addison, an Upwey resident currently based in Arizona, has been campaigning for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to include a waiver which would void Privacy Act protections in incidents of self-harm.

His campaign came after losing his son, Stuart Addison, to suicide on 22 February, 2012, while he was a serving member of the Royal Australian Navy.

After visiting his base after the funeral, Mr Addison said he found out that Stuart had made a previous attempt on his life and was undergoing treatment for mental illness - as his father and next-of-kin, Mr Addison was not informed.

Two of Stuart’s shipmates aboard HMAS Stirling also committed suicide after Stuart’s death.

Mr Addison’s demands are simple - for a waiver to be included in the ADF’s contracts of service that would allow immediate family members to be notified of suicide attempts or self-harm.

“My personal feeling of the ADF is that it’s a great organisation, and well into 90 per cent of their work is brilliant,” Mr Addison said.

“But there is a gremlin in the system, and they’ve got to beat it out.”

For Mr Addison, not being informed of Stuart’s mental illness meant not having the chance to be with his son when he needed help the most.

On the third anniversary of Stuart’s death, Mr Addison launched a Change.org petition to have the waiver introduced – after a report on the suicides on ABC’s 7.30 Report, the petition has over 76,000 supporters from around the world.

But so far, the ADF has refused the proposal, and told the Mail its measures were reviewed in 2013 and found to be adequate.

“Defence conducted a review of Health Information Practices in late 2013,” a spokesperson said in a written statement.

“The review reaffirmed that it is the member who determines who has access to their personal health information and recommended that there be no change to Defence policy or practice in third party disclosure.”

The spokesperson said there was a “comprehensive and multi-layered approach” to mental health and well-being in the ADF. “We have in place initiatives to reduce stigma and barriers to care, improve access to treatment and encourage Defence members and their families to seek help as early as possible,” they said.

After 1 July 2014, the Veterans and Veterans’ Families Counselling Service (VVCS) was expanded to pay for treatment of veterans diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, depression, alcohol and substance use disorders without needing to prove the condition was related to their ADF work.

But the spokesperson said the ADF would not comment on individual cases, such as Stuart Addison’s, and questions on whether confidentiality could have been broken by his counsellor.

If any content in this story has been distressing, or you or anyone you know may be at risk of self-harm or suicide, contact Lifeline Australia’s 24-hour crisis support line on 13 11 14.

Gallipoli poem a firm old favourite POPULAR letter-writer in the Mail over many years, Jerry Hughes of Mount Dandenong, has contributed the following poem about Gallipoli.

Mr Hughes suffered from a stroke in 2008 and lost his capacity to write letters or poetry, which was his passion.

He wrote this poem in 1995 and asked the Mail to publish his work, which has given him and his family great joy.

The poem is entitled ‘Gallipoli’ and reads as follows: ‘How we blooded youth for battle’ It came.

The command.

Take the hill.

But, Sir ... ?

No buts Captain, take the hill.

Sir, I must protest.

Captain, you’re facing A court-martial for insubordination.

Take the hill, now! *** Sparks, have you got the line To HQ fixed?

Not yet Captain, shouldn’t be long.

Sparks, every moment counts.

I’m doing my best, Sir. Sorry lad, I know you are.

Let me know the second.

The second Sir. *** Lieutenant Hadley?

Sir. Fixed bayonet charge.

Sir, we’ll be massacred!

Fixed bayonet charge,

LL DS E S IN W BL O N R E IO W ER T IN

Are they ready?

Ready, Sir. *** Oh, Christ, there it is!

Lead the charge with me?

I’m with you Captain. *** Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat.

They died with yells frozen in their throats.

Sir, I’ve reached HQ. They’re on the line.

Sir?

That’s the order Pass the word.

Yes, Sir! *** Sparks, how’s it going?

Nearly there, Sir. It better be soon.

Won’t be long Sir. *** Lieutenant?

Sir. We go with the flare.

Editorial

Think of the modern Anzacs ANZAC Day has deep significance for all Australians.

While experiences of the Anzac spirit may vary for each individual, every Australian surely can appreciate the symbolism, born of the sacrifices of those who serve.

At this time, it’s important to remember the Anzac spirit is not just a product of history, but one which is continually being shaped.

There are countless men and women serving in the Australian Defence Force, or who are recently returned veterans, who deserve our ongoing recognition.

Please, let’s not forget those who face daily challenges many of us could not fathom, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, or trying to rebuild one’s life or family after returning from overseas service.

It’s sometimes too easy for us to ignore what is going on throughout the globe.

However difficult it may be to fully understand the challenges that arise through modern conflict, we must still try.

Because it’s fact that since 2001 to July last year, the ADF has reported the deaths of 41 soldiers; while also reporting 26 Afghanistan veterans died by suicide between 2008 and 2012.

In 2010, one study reported that eight per cent of serving ADF personnel who had been deployed suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

We can all support them.

It is through upholding the foundation facets of our national character that we can continue to honour our Anzacs and grow this spirit stronger.

Anzac Day is a day to remember those who gave so much.

Even beyond this centenary event, we can continue to thank those who faced the worst of conditions, and the hardest of times, and those who gave everything for their country, for our Australia.

Sounds of the classics a filling feast

By JESSE GRAHAM THE sound of classical music will fill halls across the Yarra Ranges through the coming months, with the council teaming up with the Melbourne Recital Centre in a new program.

On Wednesday 22 April, the Yarra Ranges Council officially launched its new Classical Tracks program, under the banner of its yearly Culture Tracks calendar of events, at Montrose Town Hall.

In a partnership with the Melbourne Recital Centre, Classical Tracks features performers from Australia and abroad, showcasing music spanning centuries from the Renaissance through to more modern pieces.

The program will host classical ensembles at Burrinja Cultural Centre in Upwey, Healesville’s Memo Hall, Montrose Town Centre and Warburton’s Upper Yarra Arts Centre, starting on Sunday 14 June, with a performance by The Consort of Melbourne.

The Consort will perform Songs of Earth and Sky: The Italian a capella tradition at The Memo, and give a brief performance on the opening night to give attendees a taste of what is to come.

Melbourne Recital Centre’s director of Programming and Presenter Services, Kirsten Siddle, spoke at the event and said the group was excited to be curating the musical program.

“I think that this program that we’ve put together collaboratively is a feast of music by anyone’s reckoning,” she said.

“In curating the series, we really wanted to celebrate Australian stars alongside some international guests - we wanted to have a real breadth of genres and repertoire, combining repertoire you may know with, hopefully, some wonderful, revelatory experiences for you along the way.”

Yarra Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy paid tribute to the influence of classical music, and

Melbourne Recital Centre's Kirsten Siddle, Yarra Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy and the council's Manager of Arts, Culture and Heritage, Greg Box, at the Classical Tracks opening in Montrose. 138071 said the program was an exciting collaboration with the recital centre.

“Yarra Ranges is a place that values culture and our communities understand the profound and powerful influence that arts, culture and heritage have in shaping our lives,” she said.

“Classical music is integral for our cultural understanding, and, as with great art in other forms, the best classical music rewards concentrated and persisted attention - the more you listen to them, the more you hear and the greater the satisfaction.”

Renowned Canadian pianist Angela Cheng, world-leading guitar duo The Grigoryan Brothers and Australian duo Rebecca Chan and Kristian Chong are just some of the performances on the bill for the program, which will run until end August.

Antique boxes on display at museum A NEW exhibition was opened earlier this month by Cardinia Mayor Leticia Wilmot at Emerald Museum.

The attraction shows a wonderful private collection of rare antique boxes owned by local Kerry Champness.

These rare boxes covers dates from the 1850s through to the 1930s.

All wooden boxes are handmade and of durable woods including walnut, mahogany, cedar and Australian huon pine.

They first originated in Tunbridge Wells in England in the 1800s.

The boxes were very popular with the gentry for storage of personal items including writing materials, jewellery, needlework, perfumes, glove-boxes; anything of value that was needed when travelling.

They contain secret compartments and have areas for paper, inkbottles and pens and provide a sloped part for writing letters on.

Some have intricate designs and are lined with leather, silk, felt and ornate papers.

Pictured is just one of the many antique boxes on display at the exhibition.

This exhibition is a must see and will be on show until the end of next month.

Opening times at Emerald Museum are Wednesdays from 10am until 3pm, and Sunday afternoons from 1.30 until 4pm.

The museum is located at Nobelius Heritage Park, 5 Crichton Road, Emerald.

For more information, email enquiries@emeraldmuseum.org.au.

Music mania gets whiplashed Whiplash Starring J.K. Simmons, Miles Teller, Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist Rated M WHIPLASH is a harrowing drama about musical obsession and how intense personality can get away with almost anything.

Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller) is a jazz student who wants to become one of the all-time great drummers, and struggles to gain the approval of his tyrannical conductor Mr Fletcher (J.K. Simmons).

Teller throws everything he’s got into his role, but Simmons rightly steals the show (and won an Oscar) as Mr Fletcher, embodying with gusto a man of aggressive passion.

Fletcher may be one of cinema’s most perfectly realised anti-heroes: you hate him, yet find yourself strongly empathising with him in spite of yourself.

He is foul-mouthed, emotionally abusive and even violent, but works from an understandable position. He believes it is better to constantly push a prodigy to realise his potential, rather than praise him and risk him becom-

ing complacent and not improving. It’s a horrible perspective, but it’s disturbingly logical.

Andrew’s consuming desire to succeed, as he pushes his family and girlfriend away and literally bleeds for his art, and the visible toll of Fletcher’s methods, make Whiplash incredibly tense. The suspense is bolstered by tight, precise editing and a nuanced, insightful screenplay (both of which also won Oscars this year).

Set in New York’s competitive music scene, Whiplash is a sterling character study and as riveting as any thriller.

TV star commits to writers festival

By PETER DOUGLAS UK television star turned children’s author David Walliams is heading to the region next month as part of the Yarra Ranges Children’s Writers Festival.

In a major coup for the organisers, Walliams, who has been dubbed the new Roald Dahl, will discuss his stories and read from one of his best-selling books.

He will also be available afterwards

for book signing.

Walliams is perhaps best known as being one half of the comedy pairing with Matt Lucas on television show, Little Britain.

Organiser Melissa Chipp said Walliams was an incredible talent.

“Eddie Perfect will be interviewing him for about an hour and then book signings,” she said.

“It is a Wheeler Centre event that we are lucky enough to be hosting as part of our festival.”

The Stories Up High festival includes many author talks, exhibitions, puppet shows, readings and more.

The festival runs from 8 May to 23 May. For more information, visit www.storiesuphigh.com.au.

Gallipoli oaks help mark the occasion MACCLESFIELD Primary School helped remember the Anzacs last Friday through planting oak trees in its school grounds.

As part of the National Trust of Australia’s Gallipoli Oaks Project, the oaks were planted with great delight from students and teachers.

Emerald RSL representative Daryl Bristowe thanked students and families involved.

Meanwhile, principal John Chiswell said it was a great way

to remember those who sacrificed so much.

“We remember them and honour their memory during our Anzac ceremony,” he said.

“Students placed a poppy in the area surrounding the Gallipoli oak to create a carpet of poppies.”

The National Trust of Australia said that planting over 500 special Gallipoli oaks during the Anzac Centenary would create enduring, living memorials in all schools across Victoria.

Emerald Secondary College school captain Liam Fisher and RSL president Peter Maloney.

Students delve deep EMERALD Secondary College students last Friday commemorated the Anzac spirit, with these commemorations culminating in the opening of a special Anzac garden.

After a reflective school assembly, student leaders and Year 10 history students joined Emerald RSL president Peter Maloney to open the Anzac garden.

The Year 10 history students have been researching local soldiers who did not return from World War I. This research and the posters they have created have supported the Emerald RSL in their 100th anniversary commemorations.

The prime feature of the Anzac garden is a seedling that is a descendant of

the Lone Pine tree. During the ceremony, school captain Liam Fisher and Mr Maloney planted the seedling.

A commemorative plaque was also unveiled. The garden will provide a permanent link and reminder for students of the sacrifices made by Anzac and Allied soldiers at Gallipoli.

Emily and Kiernan from Macclesfield Primary sit among the poppies.

Decades of woollen quality THE Bendigo Woollen Mills celebrated 30 years of locally crafted yarns and patterns recently.

Owned by two local families, Bendigo Woollen Mills is now Australia’s largest handknitting and crafting yarn manufacturer.

They first opened their doors in 1984 before moving to their current Lansell Street location in 1988.

“It’s a pretty big achievement in this day and age, with all the manufacturing closing down in Victoria,” said product development team member Kris Taylor.

The mill produces about 100 tonnes of yarn a year and employs about 30 people.

The factory encompasses everything from a spinning room, twisting room, through to dye house, and washing and drying facilities.

Jen Harrison, now in her sixties, was the Bendigo Woollen Mills first customer.

“The range was just mind-blowing and the quality was absolutely excellent,” she said.

“It hasn’t changed to this day.

“I still have garments here that I’m still wearing today from the very first lot I ever knitted up from the Bendigo Woollen Mills.”

The mill’s yarn ranges from two-ply to 12 ply, using natural fibre blends and comes in 170 colours.

Most of the yarn is made from wool sourced from the NSW Highlands region, and the mill also produces yarns with other fibres, including alpaca, mohair, angora, silk and cotton.

The mill participates in the Bendigo Sheep show in July each year, which is “a really great time for all the fibre artists and everyone who comes to Bendigo - it’s a wonderful time of the year,” Kris said.

With a 24-hour online store, and the factory shop open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Fridays and 10am to 3pm Saturdays/public holidays, the Bendigo Woollen Mills offers knitters access to Australian-sourced wool at any time.

There are also many free knitting patterns available on their website at www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au.

The Bendigo Woollen Mills’ garments are only of the highest quality.

Six teams and top efforts in some trying conditions MONBULK had six teams playing this week at three different grounds, Healesville, Woori Yallock and at Olinda.

It was a cold and wet day for all the kids.

Great results across all grades and those watching were treated to some good play in trying conditions.

The under-9s played at Woori Yallock, with 26 players. All had fun at the Woori ground and showed some good signs in their first season.

The under-10s faced up to a competitive Olinda side and it was a real entertaining game for those watching in front of the impressive Olinda’s clubroom facilities.

The under-11s faced Healesville at Healesville and had a good win in a close game.

The under-12s against Olinda were impressive and with Taj Linde booting three goals and Natasha Decker being the team’s best were too strong for Olinda and recorded a fine 32-point win.

The under-14s battled hard against Olinda in the tough conditions as the day got later and colder.

Strong across the ground with the players teaming well and putting on the scoreboard for a fine 53-point win, this keeps the team near the leaders of the competition.

The under-16s had a great battle with Olinda that went down to the wire. With the lights on at Olinda, it was a close game all

day, with Olinda a goal up at three-quarter time. The Monbulk Hawks then had their best quarter to record a gutsy 11-point win.

An enthralling contest by both sides with Travis Wills the Monbulk Hawks best with his run from the centre a highlight.

Rivalr y dwarfed in Anzac clash

By RUSSELL BENNETT LOCAL footy rivalries simply don’t get much bigger than Emerald versus Gembrook Cockatoo.

There’s always something extra on the line, and on Sunday even more so - it was the first time the teams had clashed since 2013, but the game itself was dwarfed by the bigger occasion; the two clubs coming together to honour the Anzacs.

Hostilities resumed on the weekend, with both clubs back in Division 2 of the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League. Favourite sons put other allegiances and friendships aside for a game that seemed to mean more to the two clubs than just the four premiership points.

Hampton Park coach Matt O’Neil was back in his Brookers gear for the day, while Emerald Cricket Club captain-coach A.J. Walker returned to Chandler Reserve as an assistant coach for the Gembrook Cockatoo senior footy side, and Gembrook Cricket Club teammates Jarrad Donders (Emerald) and Riley Wilson (Gembrook Cockatoo) lined up on opposing teams as The Last Post played to a massive, yet eerily quiet, crowd.

WWII veteran and Emerald RSL lifemember Doug Livermore - the father of Emerald Football Club committeeman Steve, and grandfather of senior captain Matt - tossed a 1922 penny to start the clash and the Bombers got the early jump, leading by 10 points at quartertime.

While Brookers player-coach Craig Clarke was lion-hearted in the ruck, Bomber Daniel Ferry was just as strong on the spread and Ryan Simpson was

Brookers champion, and current Hampton Park coach, Matt O’Neil was back supporting his former club on Sunday.

Picture: COURTESY OF ROBYN KUYS just as dependable off half back.

Bombers coach Jason Bek implored his men to lower their eyes and be smarter in spotting up their targets in the second quarter to maximise their lead, but they took just a 13-point lead into the main break despite having 16 scoring shots to eight from the Brookers.

But Emerald roared out of the gates early in the third, with a long set-shot goal from Nick Jansen. Riley Wilson did an outstanding job all day on Bombers forward Justin Davis, but Davis still found a way of impacting the scoreboard regardless.

Daniel Ferry was one of Emerald’s standout performers against traditional rivals, Gembrook Cockatoo.

Pictures: JARROD POTTER Chris Vernal, Leigh Scott and Ricky Delphine all made their presence felt for the Brookers throughout a physical second half but Caillin Porter, Kalijah Asling, Mat Dompietro and Damien Volta had far too much in the tank as the Bombers won by 45 points - 12.17 (89) to 6.8 (44). Almost fittingly, it was Volta - a member of the Gembrook Cockatoo side that reached a string of Division 1 grand finals in recent years - who kicked the final goal of the game for the Bombers.

Emerald RSL president Peter Maloney presented Porter with the Anzac Medal for the best player on ground.

Gembrook Cockatoo’s James Hampton and Emerald’s Dale Karacsonyi put everything on the line in this contest on Sunday.

Big do, close games

By JUDY ORREN YVMDFNL ALL games were played in the true Anzac spirit on the weekend.

It saw some close games and some big wins.

Kinglake braved the fog and came away winners with Chris Tarrant kicking 5. Wandin A Grade scored a league record in its win over Woori Yallock. This week’s games see Mount Evelyn take on Healesville, while Belgrave could get a game clear of Olinda.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Yarra Glen 14.9 (93) d Mount Evelyn 11.16 (82) Yarra Glen has broken through for their first victory in first division, with a fantastic hardfought victory over Mount Evelyn.

Mount Evelyn started well and held Yarra Glen to just one goal in the first quarter, while they booted four majors to lead by 21 points at the first change.

The second quarter saw Yarra Glen play a more accountable game and even though they didn’t reduce the margin by much, they looked as though they were definitely getting back into the game as they went to half-time 17 points down.

Yarra Glen’s third quarter was superb. All of a sudden Mount Evelyn was chasing as Yarra Glen’s run and carry game came to the fore, Yarra Glen booted eight goals to three, giving them a 13-point lead at the last change. The last quarter was frantic, as Mount Evelyn challenged on a few occasions but Yarra Glen was able to answer and hold on to record a great first win in first division.

Yarra Glen best players: D. Hurley (3 goals), J. Baughan, B. Ashton, S. Turner (5 goals).

Mount Evelyn best players: C. Haworth, D. Kift, D. Wootton, D. Eliades (3 goals).

Healesville 15.23 (113) d Warburton Millgrove 12.5 (77) Healesville never really looked threatened in this game; the only thing that kept Warburton close was Healesville’s inaccuracy.

Healesville booted 9.10 to 6.3 in the first half to lead by 25 points, but just hadn’t quite put Warby away.

Healesville extended its lead in the third, with a five-goal to 3 quarter to grab a 40-point advantage. Healesville really should have run away in

the last but they booted 1.10 to 3.2 which actually flattered Warby as the final margin was only 36 points.

Healesville best players: C. Warren, A. Davies, J. Savage (3 goals).

Warburton Millgrove best players: I. Andueza, B. Murphy, A. Joyce (1 goal).

Belgrave 13.20.98 d Upwey Tecoma 9.18.72 Belgrave is right back on track with a 28-point victory over Upwey.

This game was tight up to half-time with scores level at the long break, even though Belgrave had five more scoring shots. The third quarter saw Belgrave control the play and should have really put the game away but they booted 4.9 to 2.3 to lead by 18 points and keep Upwey in the contest.

The last term saw Upwey pepper the goals.

If they took their opportunities, then the outcome could have been a lot different, but they scored 1.11 while Belgrave made the most of their chances, booting 4.1 to run out winners.

Belgrave best players: D. Collins, E. Clasby (1 goal), T. McNamara (1 goal).

Upwey best players: D. Waters (6 goals), B. Duncan, B. Hinton.

Wandin 17.19 (121) d Woori Yallock 8.10 (58) Wandin is looking the early front runner for the flag as they ran over last year’s premiers late in this game to run out comfortable 63-point victors. This game really did belong to Wandin from the outset and even though they weren’t at their best in the first half they still led this game by 21 points.

Wandin got up and going in the third quarter, and their pace across the ground started to worry Woori. They booted five goals to two in the third to stretch the margin to 39 points and then they added another six goals to two in the last to finish the day off in pretty good style.

Wandin best players: S. Dwyer (4 goals), J. Myers, M. Polkinghorne (1 goal). Woori Yallock best players: J. Adams, T. Gibson (3 goals), M. Baxter (1 goal).

Monbulk 12.8 (80) d Olinda Ferny Creek 8.7 (55) This game was a dire struggle with nothing

The footballers locked arms as the Anzac Day tributes took place. 138205_01 Picture: GREG CARRICK separating the sides for the first three quarters.

Monbulk led by just two points at the first break after both sides could only manage one goal apiece for the term.

The second quarter opened up a little, but it was an even quarter with three goals each being scored and Monbulk leading by just one point at the long break. The third quarter was once again an even contest as Monbulk went to the three-quarter time break with just a five-point advantage.

Monbulk was finally able to break the shackles in the last as they looked the fitter side as they finished with more run; they booted five goals to two to win by 25 points in what was a tough clash for three-and-a-half quarters.

Monbulk best players: S. Van Seters, K. Gray (1 goal), B. Emmett. Olinda Ferny Creek best players: J. Rankin (1 goal), D. Rohrmann, C. Horner (1 goal).

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Kinglake 23.8 (146) d Yea 5.8 (38) Seville 14.8 (92) d Alexandra 7.11 (53) Powelltown 11.10 (76) d Thornton Eildon 6.12 (48) Emerald 12.17 (89) d Gembrook Cockatoo 6.8 (44)
