AN ORPHANED swamp wallaby has been given a second chance at life after he was brought into Healesville Sanctuary’s Australian Wildlife Health Centre earlier this month. The sevenmonth-old wallaby was brought in on Saturday 15 August, and underwent surgery on a fractured leg - but his heart stopped while he was being roused from anaesthesia. But the vets at the sanctuary were able to bring the joey back, and named the trooper Rocky as a tribute to him making it through the ordeal.

PALLIATIVE care at Healesville Hospital will move down the line for 18 months as part of the hospital’s long-awaited redevelopment, with works beginning next month.

By 28 September, work will be well underway to redevelop the Healesville and District Hospital, after the funds were announced in late 2013 and added to earlier this year.

The $8.8 million redevelopment will bring renal dialysis to the hospital, as well as a new surgical theatre and updated patient amenities.

But key services, such as palliative care and x-ray, will be moved out of town for the duration of the development, meaning those nearing the end of their life may be located at Eastern Health hospitals in Ringwood, Box Hill, Ferntree Gully or Wantirna - all roughly an hour away from Healesville.

X-ray services will be located at Lilydale Radiology, which bulk-bills for pension and healthcare card holders, as well as other hospitals in the outer-east.

Save Healesville Hospital Action Group (SHHAG) chair Fiona McAllister said the group was “disappointed” that the services would not still be provided in town.

Acknowledging the difficulty of providing palliative care during the construction, Ms McAllister said the move would be still hard on families who did not have their own transport.

“Not everyone has access to transport,” she said.

“Imagine doing a three-hour trip each way, every day, when you’re also in the traumatic situation of losing a loved one it doesn’t even bear thinking about.”

“I know HICCI and others do the best they can to transport people up to Lily-

dale or Wantirna ... (but) it’s not going to be an easy 18 months for the community.”

Public transport from Healesville to any of Eastern Health’s other sites involves at least one bus and one train, though only the Angliss Hospital and Box Hill Hospital are located close to train stations.

Eastern Health’s Yarra Ranges chief of Clinical and Site Operations, Lisa Lynch said it was “unfortunate” that palliative care would not be provided in Healesville through the redevelopment, but defended the decision and said safety and comfort were factors.

“We understand the importance of providing a hospital environment that is free of dust, dirt and noise,” she said.

“We will work closely with patients and their families to find suitable alternative arrangements during this period - this may include our specialised inpatient unit in Wantirna.”

“We also have hospital-based palliative care consultation teams based at Maroondah Hospital, Box Hill Hospital and Angliss Hospital.”

When asked about the possibility of working with an aged-care provider in town to provide palliative care in town, an Eastern Health spokesperson said that nursing home palliative care was not the same as in an “acute hospital setting".

This was due to specialised services in hospitals, the spokesperson said, adding that Eastern Health would “work closely with patients and families to find accommodation and hospital-based care.”

Ms Lynch said that Yarra Valley Community Health and the GP clinic would continue to operate during the redevelopment, as will pathology, respiratory, cardiology and endocrinology outpatient services and antenatal and postnatal maternity services.

Ever y loss is felt keenly

By JESSE GRAHAM WHENEVER I drive through the Yarra Valley, I think of all the people who lost their lives in the places we pass every day.

Any main road you take into or through the valley, you can be sure that at some point in recent years, a person has died in a crash somewhere along the way.

On 19 April, an 18-year-old Cockatoo woman was killed on the Healesville Kooweerup Road near Yellingbo, after losing control on a sharp corner.

On that same road, on the corner of Toolebewong Road, a 76-year-old Healesville man was involved in a serious crash on Thursday 4 June and latter succumbed to his injuries.

A 20-metre stretch of the Maroondah Highway east from Maddens Lane has been the site of three deaths in two incidents in recent memory, the first being in October 2007, where two teenagers were killed when a car driven by a friend hit a tree.

The second, on Saturday 24 August in 2013, where a car turned out from Maddens Lane, only metres up the road, into the path of a four-wheel drive - an elderly Bulleen woman died at the scene.

On 25 September, 2008, an 18-yearold Healesville man and a Narre Warren man were killed in a two-car crash on Don Road, Healesville.

I remember that crash, as it happened on the night of my brother’s birthday, more-or-less outside of my house. My dad went outside to help emergency services crews, carrying fresh sheets and towels - they later came back soaked in blood.

Though more recently the Black Spur has been the site of fewer serious collisions than in previous years, driv-

A bouquet of flowers rests at the site of Sunday's fatal crash in Yarra Glen. 143154 ers such as Eugene Ong, a 20-year-old Wantirna South man, died when the car he was a passenger in hit a tree on 11 October, 2008.

A section of the Melba Highway nicknamed ‘The Slide’, which connects Dixons Creek to Kinglake and Toolangi, has been the site of numerous fatalities in the last five years, so much so that VicRoads dropped the speed limit leading up to the area.

A 17-year-old Healesville boy whom I went to primary school and high school with - died when he was thrown from a car on High Street, Healesville, on 16 December, 2009, just before Christmas.

Though I certainly wasn’t as close to him as others I knew were, everyone I knew was shaken in some way by his death, and I’m sure this had an impact on all of us in some way when we went

for our licences the next year.

And the latest - on Sunday 16 August, 16-year-old Cooper Ratten, a Ringwood boy and a Yarra Glen footballer, died en route to hospital after being thrown from a car that rolled on Glenview Road, in Yarra Glen.

When I drive on these roads, I can’t help but remember the photographs of twisted cars or of emergency services

crews rushing to help people involved - the images come to mind every time I pass the spaces which were once crash sites.

And I’d like to think that none of these people died in vain.

I’d like to think that, just as the death of our friend (subconsciously or otherwise) changed our attitudes towards driving, those who knew the people involved in all of these crashes took from their grief the message that life is important, and protecting it is immeasurably so.

The days, weeks and months following incidents like these are filled with uncertainty - why did this happen? Could it have been prevented?

- and bleakness, the hollow feeling in the pit of your stomach of being caught unawares and not getting a final goodbye.

But once the wounds have closed over and the feeling recedes, it’s important to remember the people who have been lost, and use their loss as a lesson - whether that lesson is about being safer on the roads, on refusing a lift with an intoxicated driver or not getting behind the wheel yourself when you’re not in a condition to drive.

In the midst of the senselessness, the noise and the graphic detail, it’s important to remember in better times those who have been lost, and to try and turn the grief into positive change.

That positive change can be as simple as easing a foot off of the accelerator in a dangerous area, or it can be a complete re-think on driving behaviour, but it’s all significant.

Before getting behind the wheel or into a car - think about whether you should, and about those who made the wrong choice when presented with the same situation.

It all counts.

Life can certainly bring its challenges.

No more projects

By JESSE GRAHAM COMMUNITY 3777 is no more.

The group officially wound up in a meeting on Monday 17 August, ending 15 years of work on projects in Healesville and its surrounds.

Chair of the now-closed group, Kath Holton, told the Mail after the meeting that C3777 “no longer exists.”

The group had announced in late July that it planned to finish up at the meeting, unless new people were to come on board and take up the reins.

Ms Holton said she and board

members Anne Jenkins and Jeanette McRae had been in contact with the Yarra Ranges Council and people from the area to talk about setting up a new group.

However, C3777, for all intents and purposes, had done its dash.

“They (the council) are keen to see some kind of group continue,” Ms Holton said.

“But we’re just really looking forward to a new generation of people coming together to do positive things for the township.

“I hope that the shire will keep involved and possibly facilitate

some workshop ... to support a new group coming into being that is more suited to the current needs of today.”

Ms Jenkins said there were “mixed feelings” about the end of the group, which had organised the 150th celebrations of Healseville last year, among many other projects, but that “the timing was right.”

“I think there’s opportunity now for something else to be set up to support the Healesville community,” she said.

“Moving forward, I think we’ve worked really well for a time, and,

with a lot of things, some things have to change so new things can happen.

“There was a bit of sadness, a bit of relief and some hope for the future.”

Sadly, Ms Jenkins said, only about eight people showed up to the final meeting, but attributed the poor attendance to the cold weather.

As for the group’s legacy, she said people could remember C3777 whenever they drove past Healesville’s “welcome” sign, or talked about the town’s gigantic Healesville 150th event last November.

Rocky’s now on the road to recovery

By JESSE GRAHAM AN ORPHANED swamp wallaby has become one of the latest residents at Healesville Sanctuary after being brought in for surgery on the weekend.

On Saturday, 15 August, the seven-month-old swamp wallaby was brought into the Sanctuary, orphaned and with a fractured leg.

After giving the wallaby, who they named Rocky, X-rays, veterinarians at the sanctuary’s Australian Wildlife Health Centre (AWHC) decided to operate on the animal, securing pins into the fractured leg with an external frame.

Vet nurse, Emmajane NewtonDinning, said that although the surgery went well, Rocky’s heart stopped when he was taken off of anaesthetic.

“When we turned the anaesthetic

gas off, he decided that was it and his heart stopped and he stopped breathing,” she said.

“I wasn’t in the surgery ... then I was brought in to help with CPR.” Ms Newton-Dinning said the wallaby pulled through the surgery, and that his name reflected his hardiness in coming through his injury.

“It’s a very prolonged recovery he’s still not out of the woods,” she said.

“He’s still effectively an intensive care patient.”

She said Rocky’s chest was “crackly”, which she said may have been a result of his injury or sustained during his death or CPR attempts.

Throughout his recovery, which is expected to take about six weeks, Rocky spends his nights at home with Ms Newton-Dinning, receiving

She said that he spent most of his time in a warm incubator box, as other wallabies at his age spend much of their time in their mother’s pouch.

After his leg is healed up, Rocky’s expected to become a permanent resident of the sanctuary.

Rocky is one of the 1500 patients that come through the doors of the AWHC each year.

Zoos Victoria recently finished its annual tax-time appeal for the AWHC, which collected $265,000 in donations - $65,000 more than the original goal.

In brief School burglary probed POLICE are appealing for information after a burglary last Monday at Yellingbo Primary School.

About 2am on Monday 17 August, police believe unknown persons forced their way into the school buildings on Healesville-Kooweerup Road in Yellingbo.

A DVD player, a guitar and a laptop were stolen from the school, which has been valued at more than $500.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Car break-ins up YARRA Ranges Police officers are reminding residents to lock their cars and keep valuables out-of-sight, as car break-ins continue across the board.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Acting Sergeant Mark Hodgson told the Mail that residents across the Yarra Ranges were continuing to leave cars unlocked, and that these cars were then being robbed as a result.

“People keep leaving their cars unlocked,” Det Sgt Hodgson said.

“It’s across the board, really.”

The solution was simple - when leaving a car, make sure it is locked, and any valuables are either taken out or stowed out of sight.

Det Sgt Hodgson said tradesworkers in particular were often hit by robbers, who make off with power tools and other expensive gear.

Car wash cash robbed POLICE have arrested a Ringwood man in relation to thefts from a Chirnside Park car wash last year.

On Wednesday 19 August, police executed warrants at a Ringwood address and arrested a 28-year-old man in relation to a series of thefts from car washes in the area.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit Detective Acting Sergeant Mark Hodgson said the man was alleged to have stolen coins from a Chirnside Park car wash in September last year.

It is believed that he used a vacuum cleaner to suck coins out of a machine.

The man was charged and bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 7 January 2016.

Kids’ BMX track is torn up

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE kids have been left with a mudpile for a BMX track until spring, after someone tore up the park area in a four-wheel-drive.

Healesville resident Stacey Kinsmore contacted the Mail to report that the BMX track on Don Road, next to the skate park, had been torn up by hoons.

Covered in gouges from wheels, possibly from a four-wheel-drive, the track and the grass surrounding it was looking worse-for-wear when this reporter visited the site on Thursday 13 August.

Ms Kinsmore said she noticed the damage when visiting the track with her children on Sunday 9 August, and reported it immediately to Healesville police.

She said it appeared the driver had driven a vehicle over the jumps at the track and did burnouts around the sur-

rounding grass, as well as driving on the nearby soccer field.

“It’s made a bit of damage,” she said.

“I’m sure they could still ride on there, but they’ve gone up and over you can see where they’ve come off of the road.

“It’s fairly bad - I don’t know if they’re going to have to re-do the jumps.”

The deep tyre marks, while mostly superficial, were filled with water in parts and scarred the whole track.

The track was left covered in deep gouges from tyres.

Healesville Police Acting Sergeant, Tim Stewart, said that police were “aware” of the damage, but that they had received no official reports.

“No one’s reported anything to us about it,” he said.

Sgt Stewart said that anyone with in-

formation regarding the damage could contact Healesville police on 5962 4422 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

He urged residents to call triple-zero immediately when in need of police assistance, or to report crimes that are underway.

Yarra Ranges Council’s director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis, said the site would cost about $1200 to fix and that repairs would have to take place during spring.

“We are extremely disappointed with the damage to the site, which will be difficult and costly to repair during winter when the ground is so wet," Mr Varmalis said.

“Repair works will involve topdressing and reseeding or rolling, and will take place during spring, subject to weather conditions and access to the site."

Extra attention for outside pets

By DEBRA BOLAND

Animal

THIS winter has been incredibly cold for the animals in our shelters, particularly the dogs which have experienced many nights below zero.

In comparison, our cats have it pretty good as they are housed in a climatecontrolled cattery.

So, as I sit on my couch and look at my dogs sleeping cosily on their beds bathed in the warm glow of my fire, I can’t help but think how very lucky they are.

Many pets are kept outside their

aid

Debra Boland whole life, which I think is such a shame, but it is the reality for the ones that do.

If you do insist on your pet sleeping outside, then you need to make sure that you provide them with everything they need to keep themselves warm

and protected from the elements.

This is a challenge that we face every winter, trying to keep our dogs warm.

The lucky ones are housed in a heated indoor area.

These include the very old, the very young and those recovering from surgery.

For the others, it’s up to our caring staff to rug them up and keep them as cosy as possible.

We do this by providing them with blankets, heat pads and tub beds to curl up in, as well as pyjamas and jumpers

if they will let us.

We are only able to do this because, like me, many other people are sitting at home thinking about them, too.

All of our bedding, dog coats and a large number of our heat pads are donated by caring people, and for that we a truly grateful.

Without their support, our dogs may not be as cosy as they could be.

At Animal Aid, we need bedding all year round but particularly in winter.

The never ending mountains of washing are a challenge not only to clean but more importantly to get dry.

By JESSE GRAHAM BETWEEN termite and water damage, a patchwork of buildings stuck together, and Yarra Ranges Council's main civic centre infrastructure from “the beginning of time” needs to be overhauled - and soon.

Councillors made a unanimous decision at their 11 August meeting to green light a feasibility study for the redevelopment of the Lilydale Civic Centre, at a cost of about $420,000.

Under the banner of the Flexible Future Project, two fully-costed plans mapping out the centre’s future are expected to be brought before council early next year.

In a tour of the current civic centre, Flexible Future Project director Scott Hodges described the current building as a “hodgepodge” of portables buildings and extensions connected to one another as they were needed.

“We found that the reality with this construction is that it was put together in such a hodgepodge way, without consistent, regular funding because we decided to sweat the asset - investing no more money in the building because we were hoping we’d get a new one,” he said.

In a media release, the council noted that the project was put on hold while it investigated whether it would be able to relocate to the former Swinburne campus in Lilydale.

With the plan to move to the campus falling through, Mr Hodges said the council had to assess the future of the current building, which had numerous issues including water damage, out-dated infrastructure, cracks in the walls, asbestos sheeting and repaired termite damage just to name a few.

During the tour, Mr Hodges pointed out numerous instances of cracks, of buildings shifting due to ageing, and of infrastructure such as an air-conditioning unit, located under the main area of the building.

Planning changes

He said the problem for council was that simple works to improve parts of the building then triggered a requirement for other improvements to bring areas up to current compliance standards.

“The sad part is ... we don’t use compliance as the major driver for the project,” he said.

“A lot of this is compliant with the standards of the time, but not compliant with modern-day standards.

“Compliance is a key element that makes a domino effect - for example, should we undertake some quite minimal refurbishment, i.e. fire systems and airconditioning, it then triggers further elements in the building.”

The idea for how the redeveloped building would look is still under consideration, but Mr Hodges said the aim was to salvage as much of the existing building as possible while keeping a low price tag.

He refused to speculate on the costs of any redevelopment, but said that, taking delays into account, the whole project might be completed in the coming four years if it was accepted by council.

Mr Hodges said the infrastructure in the building needs to be updated. We can see why. 143341

YARRA Ranges Council may rescind last week’s decision to abandon a planning scheme amendment on intensive animal husbandry.

In a councillor motion listed for Yarra Ranges Council meeting on Tuesday 25 August, Mayor Maria McCarthy will put forward a motion to rescind the decision made on 11 August to abandon Planning Scheme Amendment C146.

O’Shannassy Ward councillor Jim Child said he was very pleased Mayor McCarthy was revisiting the issue with council.

“I’m proud of our mayor to bring it back to council,” he said.

“She is doing a wonderful thing for the future of agriculture in the Yarra Ranges.”

The controversy surrounding amendment C146 is focused on the Happy Valley Piggery in Wandin North that was declared as using their land illegally by VCAT where their free range pig farm was declared intensive farming.

“We have a responsibility to follow through with C146 to actually do what we can to remove that intensive GWZ 1 2 3 and allow free range farms,” Mr Child said.

Cr McCarthy’s motion, should it be passed, asks the council to rescind the decision and request that the Planning Minister appoint an independent planning panel to

consider the potential amendment.

All 165 of the written submissions would be referred to the panel for its consideration.

Cr Child said the best outcome would be for written submissions to be submitted to an independent panel as this issue is was hotly contested during previous council meetings.

“It was a very hostile gallery last time,” she said.

“I’ve had calls from free ranges farmers to say there was no way they were going speak in front of the gallery.”

Cr Child said concerns about the amendment allowing broiler farms, intense piggeries and cattle feedlots were unfounded.

“The campaign against the removal of prohibition is a beat up of groups saying we are going to allow freed lots and broiler farms,” he said.

“We said the barring of feed lots etc. will remain. We want to allow people to do free range operations.”

Cr Child also said the number of objectors did not necessarily outweigh the number of supporters as council only received a 5.5 per cent response rate to the notification letters sent out to the community.

“This is another reason we should take this to a panel to get an independent recommendation,” he said.

Letters Council shows undue haste THE C146 Amendment was defeated at the Yarra Ranges Council meeting of 11 August, 2015; now unhappy with the democratic process, the council wants to move a motion to rescind this vote.

What is the point of going through the process only to find that within two weeks they wish to change their mind?

Their rush to have this heard on 25 August, 2015, shows undue haste and does not give adequate notice of their intentions to all the objectors - or is this the plan?

Shire planning cash grab I BELIEVE because of the aligning of rate increases to CPI next year, the Yarra Valley Shire is manufacturing another ‘cash grab’.

It seems the shire is endeavouring to create a precedent, requiring ratepayers to have a ‘planning permit’ for a shipping container on their property.

The number of containers within the shire, as storage areas, especially following the fires, will

WARBURTON MAIL 27 AUGUST 1965 Door is Shut on Railway Re-Opening "I have been led to believe that signalling equipment crossing signs and points have been removed from the Warburton Railway Line," Cr P. Mould announced at the Lilydale Council Meeting on Monday. This amounted to shutting the door on any possibility of re-opening the line in the future, he added.

Social Scene MR and Mrs Max Stormer were hosts at their Wesburn home on Saturday evening, held in aid of the Wesburn Tennis Club.

Mrs Stormer had her home beautifully decorated and she provided an attractive supper for the many guests.

Review of Property Values in Shire PRICES are stable for farms,

residential and allotments and acreage lots but particularly depressed for shop property in the main street of Warburton. This was stated today

by Upper Yarra Real Estate Agent, Mr H.J.B. Stewart. Mr Stewart said property within the shire had lately been difficult to sell quickly for cash.

An analysis of why shops are hard to let or sell indicates that working couples find the outside labour market more attractive, with its generous holiday allowances as against an uncertain nett return that would be available in a business to be established in some of the shops available.

Mr Stewart said he was of the opinion this district will never fold up. The huge stream of cars carrying visitors each weekend will keep the district to the fore.

give the council a massive ‘cash windfall’.

Unfortunately, the shire has a reputation as being obstructive and extremely slow issuing permits to ratepayers who are trying to get development going within the shire.

Imagine how this ‘cash grab’ and the influx of planning applications will further increase the time obtaining a ‘genuine permit’.

The shire ‘think tank’ would be better working out ways to trim some fat from the pay packets and numbers of staff in the executive and administration, rather than applying more costs on ratepayers. If they get this through, there will be no stopping them - what next?

Kevin Bush, Yarra Glen.

The relay is back

By JESSE GRAHAM THE RELAY for Life is coming back to Healesville in November, with a huge fund-raising goal set to help with cancer research and registration for runners opening.

The Yarra Ranges Relay for Life will be held from Saturday 7 November through to the Sunday morning at Healesville’s Don Road Sporting Complex.

Registration is now open for participants and teams to sign up, and Yarra Ranges chairperson Prue Northey is encouraging people to sign up and take part in the 18-hour event.

“Come have a campout,” she said.

“It’s a good social interaction, and it’s really great for people who have

been affected by cancer, to speak to people going through the same issue as them,” Ms Northey said.

She said the event was moved to Healesville after being held in Kalorama last year, in the hope of drawing more teams - this year, organisers are hoping for 1000 participants and have a fund-raising goal of about $90,000.

Moving the event will hopefully bring residents from the hills to the Healesville event, Ms Northey said.

She said she got involved five years ago, after a family friend died of cancer, and has been chairing the event for the last three years.

She said one of the benefit of the relay was that all of the funds raised went to the Cancer Council, not

one cancer’s research in particular.

Olinda resident Ingrid Meadows said that her team, The Pirates of the Cureabbean, would be coming down to the Healesville event.

She said that she felt the relay was a way to spread awareness of cancer, especially those who might feel “helpless” when a close person was affected by cancer.

“This is a way to A, raise money for the Cancer Council, B, to spread the word and C, to feel like you’re contributing in some way,” Ms Meadows said.

“By participating, you feel like you’re doing something.”

THE YARRA Valley has again punched above its weight with its wine, making up a third of the 100 wines recently announced as the state’s best.

On Tuesday, 18 August, the best 100 wines in the state were announced as part of the VIC100 Wine Awards, judged by Nick Stock and six others, who blind-tasted more than 500 wines for the event.

The Yarra Valley was one of the strongest-featured regions in the awards, with 33 wines from local wineries listed out of the 100 total - roughly one third of the entire list.

Mr Stock noted that the valley’s more contemporary wines, including some different-style varieties, made the list.

“It was terrific to see the contemporary edge of the Yarra Valley wines being recognised alongside the classic and legendary wines of Rutherglen,” he said.

Wine Yarra Valley CEO, Richard Howden, said the valley often did well when it came to awards and competition, whether it be the “usual suspects” of award-winning wines or newcomers.

“We think it’s fantastic,” he said.

“We’re obviously known as a premier wine region and certainly the wines that are out and about there getting these medals, they do punch above their weight, I think.

“Not only are there the bigger houses which are doing fantastic things, but also these really extreme, different wines - people are able to push into new areas, push boundaries with these new wines.”

Some of the boundary-pushing wines acknowledged in the awards were De Bortoli La Boheme range,

Leanne De Bortoli with three of the top 100 wines. 143316 Picture: ROB CAREW which Leanne De Bortoli said were inspired by Dame Nellie Melba.

“We have a range of red cabernet wines under the Melba label, and we wanted to put out some aromatic whites and other wines under a label that was complementary to Melba,” she said.

“Because each of the different wines are obviously aromatic, they’re not really your standard wines that you would expect from the valley.”

The awarded varieties were the Pinot Gris and Friends, the Syrah Gamay and the Pinot Noir Rose, all blends of different wines, to create “real food-type wines,” according to Ms De Bortoli.

The labels all feature intricate de-

tails, which Ms De Bortoli said attracted people to the wine - but the important part was what was within.

“Of course, as long as you can back it up with some pretty good stuff inside, then they keep coming back.”

Other wines in the list include those from Giant Steps and Innocent Bystander, Coombe Farm, Coldstream Hills, TarraWarra Estate, Seville Estate and Punt Road, among others.

All of the top 100 wines will be presented for tasting in Federation Square in Melbourne on Saturday, 5 September.

Is Installing Solar Really Worth It? Many people who are considering a solar system for their home or business don’t understand how it works, or exactly how it will save them money. Some people who already have solar fall into this category also.

Let me tell you how it works: Solar panels are installed to the roof and when exposed to light will make DC electricity (Direct Current) but our homes use AC (Alternating Current).

An inverter is installed on all solar systems. Its job is to extract as much DC electricity from the solar panels and convert it to AC electricity. This electricity is then fed to the main switchboard of your property and then distributed to any electricity devices on at the time. Any excess electricity produced flows up to the power lines and is consumed by other homes in the area. This type of system is called grid connected solar and doesn’t utilise any batteries. It is the most economical and cost-effective system to install.

How solar saves you money: You’re saving the most when you’re using the electricity as it’s being made by the solar system. The power is not passing through your electrical meter and is free. When the system produces excess power it is fed to the power lines and you’ll receive a small credit on your power bill.

When not enough solar power is being made, your power comes from the power lines as before. A well designed solar system should return 15% or more, of your investment per year.

What to consider: Firstly, how much power you use every day, what devices in your home are consuming the most power and whether or not there is anyone home during the day. A good solar company will look at these figures and recommend a size to suit your needs. When designing a system, consideration must be taken to the location of the inverter, the direction of the panels, shading, and whether it would be advantageous to have panels on multiple sides of your roof rather than just the one side.

What to look out for: Some companies like to sell you a large capacity inverter matched to a small amount of panels. This commonly misleads customers into thinking they are buying a high-capacity system. The capacity of the panels on the roof determines the capacity of the entire system. Inverters should always be closely matched with the total capacity of the panels. An oversized inverter will not run properly and the result will be less power produced from the system. Other companies will sell you a system over the phone with no idea of your needs and without inspecting your home, roof, or appropriate installation position.

Most importantly, research the product that is being sold to you. There are hundreds of solar panel and inverter brands, which are of poor quality. Also numerous companies and suppliers throughout Australia have gone out of business over recent years, leaving their customers with a void warranty.

About us: Oasis Air-conditioning and Solar is a family owned business and has been established for 25 years in the Yarra Valley. We provide free measure and quote, listen to your needs and answer any questions you may have. Being local we are here for you after installation, solving any problems that may arise. All systems sold come with a comprehensive owners manual with instructions, wiring diagrams, and compliance certificates. We also submit all paperwork promptly for you. We only use reputable products which come with a 10 year warranty.

Legend welcomed home

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS THE Warburton Arts Centre will welcome home an Australian music legend when Diana Trask graces the stage in September.

Diana Trask made great headway for female Australian artists to tackle the international stage and has led a varied and exciting life.

Ms Trask was the first Australian female to break into the US Music charts when she won a talent show on Channel Seven and then went on to

sing on ‘In Melbourne Tonight’.

Shortly after the American promoter Lee Gordon signed Ms Trask to tour Australia with ‘The Frank Sinatra Show’.

In 1959 Ms Trask opened at the Blue Angel Night Club in New York where Mitch Miller discovered her and a recording contract with CBS followed.

In 1960 she landed a regular singing spot on the US national television series ‘Sing Along with Mitch’ and

was signed to a three-year contract by NBC television.

In the late '60s, Ms Trask made the change from singing ballads to country songs and she later signed with independent Tennessee music label Dot Records.

Diana Trask was established as one of America’s top country singers after releasing many albums.

Ms Trask was the first woman to sing the national anthem at the AFL Grand Final in 1985 and was invited

again in 1996 for the 100 Years of AFL celebrations.

In recent years Ms Trask has studied natural medicine and graduated with honours as a master herbalist.

Her performance in Warburton may be the last chance for her hometown crowd to see her take the stage on last time.

Diana Trask will take to the stage on Sunday 20 September at 2pm at the Warburton Arts Centre.

For more information and to book tickets, please call 1300 368 333.

Artists join their forces Sherlock hits the stage

By JESSE GRAHAM

By JESSE GRAHAM

FOUR artists will come together this week to tell their stories as part of a new exhibition gracing the walls of Healesville’s Memorial Hall for the next month.

On Friday, 28 August, '4 Artists, 4 Stories' opens at the Memo, featuring about 60 works by artists Mim Kocher, Robyn Henchel, Max Grierson and Savaad Felich, With paintings, graphite drawings and sculptures, the artists’ different styles come through in their own mediums to tell stories and provide social commentary, according to Ms Kocher.

In an interview in the leadup to the opening, Ms Kocher said that some of her works are inspired by politics and current events, including her vase, titled When Are We Going to Get a Key? “I’ve got this vase, and it’s full of people, but there’s this vacant flat they’re looking to buy,” she said.

“The couple are clambering up the vase - the building - and up on top, it could be the owner of the whole apartment ... he’s standing up there, imposing, and he’s got this massive bunch of keys.”

THE OFTEN-told story of Sherlock Holmes receives a steampunk twist, as Yarra Valley-raised performers take to the stage in Mooroolbark next month.

Melbourne Steam Theatre will perform Sherlock Holmes: Era’s End on Saturday, 5 September, from 7pm at Mooroolbark Community Centre.

Era’s End re-imagines Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Scandal in Bohemia and The Final Problem, in a neo-Victorian, steampunk style, adapted by Steam Theatre director and former Upper Yarra resident, Jess Van Straalen.

Ms Van Straalen said that, although the character of Holmes was largely unchanged, the other actors in Era’s End were able to create and develop their characters' personalities themselves.

“Everyone else takes a really different take on all of our characters,” she said.

“I think it’s really good to give the actors something to do, really - something to make their own.

“I still guide them to what I’m after, and they have to have certain aspects to them, but the characters themselves and how they deliver them is completely up to them.”

She said the re-write of the

Artists Mim Kocher, Max Grierson and Robyn Henchel at the Memorial Hall, where their exhibition opens this Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Friday. 143439 The inspiration, she said, was the discussions on Joe Hockey’s controversial “get a good job” comments towards first home buyers earlier this year.

Ms Henchel, meanwhile, says she paints landscapes and things that she comes across in her day-to-day life, using acrylic paint and canvas.

Mr Grierson creates graphite drawings taking a new look at legends such as that of bushranger Ned Kelly, and Mr Felich is a sculpture artist using reclaimed materials and curator at Yering Station’s art gallery.

The theme of the exhibition, according to the artists,

is to provide four different ways of story-telling through the different works, mediums and styles.

“I think they link in the way that they all tell a story,” Ms Kocher said.

4 Artists, 4 Stories opens on Friday 28 August at Healesville’s Memo Hall, 235 Maroondah Highway, from 6-8pm.

TarraWarra Museum of Art curator Anthony Fitzpatrick will officially open the exhibition, which will run until 22 September.

The relationship between Holmes and Adler was more alluded to than spelt out in the original texts, Ms Van Straalen said, adding that it would be more apparent in the theatre performance.

“It’s more of a fan-theory, and I don’t want to completely destroy Conan Doyle’s work by changing it too much, but a lot of it alludes to the fact that there are relationships among the members - and I do play on that a bit,” she said.

Ms Van Straalen said the steampunk style was generally classified by Victorian-style

“It’s quite whacky, but it’s also quite dark, so it’s got a lot of really dark elements to it,” she said.

She said roughly 80 per cent of the small theatre group was made up of former or current Yarra Valley residents.

Tickets to Sherlock Holmes: Era’s End are $25 when purchased through the online presale, or $30 at the door.

FANTASTIC Four is, simply put, a weak set-up with an unsatisfying conclusion.

Four scientists teleport to a strange alternate dimension, and return to Earth with a diverse array of superpowers.

Fantastic Four has been getting torn apart by critics lately, but it’s hard to raise that much ire for it; it’s simply a boring, bland failure of a movie.

The actors have no chemistry together, the dialogue is incredibly heavy-handed

and the plot is full of ridiculous contrivances (not least of which being a 10-year-old Reed Richards inventing a teleporter in his garage using metal scraps and a chain of Nintendos).

Save for some morbidly intriguing body horror, the tone is unrelentingly grim and humourless (especially compared to the whimsical original Marvel comics) to the point of alienating the viewer.

Most of the effects are decent, but many (including the Human Torch’s flames and Richards’ stretching scenes)

stick out as lazy.

The film spends 90 minutes (almost the entire running time) simply gathering the Four together, with the heroes’ exploration of their powers and their employment by the US military as unexplored afterthoughts.

The film then culminates in a paltry, static action scene with the villain Dr Doom (Toby Kebbell), in which the stakes and Doom’s motivations are very poorly-defined.

Fantastic Four fails to fulfil for anybody, let alone fans of the source comics.

HEALESVILLE High School honoured the achievements of its sporting students last week, with awards handed out to its high achievers.

At a whole-school assembly on Tuesday, 18 August, students were called up to receive awards for the school’s athletics and cross-country events.

But before the medals were handed out, two guest speakers took the podium to hand out special awards.

The first awards went out to the school’s equestrian team, who took out a slew of ribbons at an interschool event in March.

Molly Hore, Ally Melville, Amy Bruton and Kira Hetherton all received jackets and saddle pads for their efforts, with Ms Hore receiving two lots of prizes after being crowned the individual champion for the event.

Victorian Equestrian Centre proponent, Ken Aldred, congratulated the girls for their efforts, and said that the centre was a “proving ground” for future equestrian stars.

“It’s been a great training ground, a great proving ground for riders over the last 20 years,” he said.

Yarra Ranges councillor Noel Cliff then called up 12-year-old Jayden Garvey to present the annual NAIDOC Indigenous Youth Sporting

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online.

Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print.

Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

Cr Cliff said the award was announced at the NAIDOC ball, held last month, but as Jayden was under 18, he was unable to attend at the licensed Dorset Gardens.

Jayden was selected for his award after showing “great potential and natural talent” since joining the Healesville under-9s team.

“It’s fair to say he found the discipline required challenging at times, putting him at odds with the umpires,” Cr Cliff said, reading the award citation.

“His love of the game, determination to succeed and the support he has received from the coaches and others at the club kept him turning up every week and he has developed into a reliable and valuable member of the team.”

Healesville footballer Jayden Garvey with his NAIDOC award and Yarra Ranges councillor Noel Cliff. 143323 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Cr Cliff said that Jayden would also be acknowledged for his sporting efforts in an upcoming Yarra Ranges Council meeting.

The high school’s sporting champions in the annual athletics and cross-country events then received medals for their efforts on the field.

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS FORMER Healesville Rotary Club president Allan Davidson and his wife Ruth are very grateful for the support they have received from the community to help provide disaster relief to communities in Nepal.

The money raised by Yarra Valley residents has gone directly to the Women’s Foundation Nepal (WFN) to provide essentials, such as food, water and sanitary product, and to fund recovery projects.

“We’ve had a wonderful response from people,” Ruth Davidson said.

“We have raised $23,000 so far and want to thank all the people and different clubs who have lent their support.”

Mr and Mrs Davidson have worked with WFN for about a decade, and are running the fund-raiser alongside the Rotary Club of Healesville, which has contributed $2000 to the cause.

Mrs Davidson said the response from the community had been outstanding, with individuals and local groups both donating to the cause.

“We had Rotary clubs such as Healesville, Croydon and Wandin donate money and we had the Yarra Glen Men’s Shed donate,” she said.

“We also had quite a few donations from anonymous people.”

WFN provides abused women and children with a safe place to live, medical, psychological and legal help and also teaches skills to assist them with finding fair work.

Though WFN’s offices and production centre in Boudhanath was untouched by the 25 April 7.8 magnitude earthquake, members of the organ-

Nepalese locals receiving bags of rice supplied by WFN. 142789 Picture: CONTRIBUTED isation have been killed, injured or made homeless, and the foundation’s organic farm and its livestock in Bhaktapur were destroyed.

When speaking to the Mail in May, Mr Davidson said they were committed to helping communities in Nepal recover from the devastating natural disaster.

“It’s got to be long-term - it’s going to be a number of years for people to get back on their feet,” Mr Davidson said.

In an email update from WFN, president of the organisation, Renu Sharma described how the donations from the Davidsons’ fund-raiser had helped local families.

“We have been able to provide food, blankets, clothes, and sanitary items for 17,000 families,” Ms Sharma said.

“We helped to build 71 schools and we distributed school uniforms for 33,162 students who are studying at public school and they could not go to school because they did not have any clothes to wear.”

Ms Sharma also thanks the Davidsons and all those who donated money to help support the more than 100 women that stay at the shelter.

“We cannot achieve this without your invaluable support ... it is really a lot for us,” she

said.

“Your support allows us to help so many people.

“We feel relief that we are surrounded by the caring and helpful people like you who have come forward unconditionally to help us.”

The Davidsons want everyone who has donated so far to know that their generosity has been very much appreciated by themselves and by WFN. “We want to thank everyone for their generosity,” Mrs Davidson said.

The WFN will continue using donations to provide metal roofs for public schools, uniforms, books, notebooks and other necessary materials to students and assisting pregnant women and new mothers.

The Davidsons said if people still wanted to donate, they were still accepting donations.

“There are still problems like landslides and things like that,” Mrs Davidson said.

Donations can be made to the bank account of A.P. and M.R. Davidson, WF Account, BSB 063856, account number 100 796 33, or by calling the Davidsons 0438 730 160.

To donate to the Red Cross’s Nepal Region Earthquake Appeal, visit www.redcross.org. au. All donations are tax deductable.

Old Dogs still have some bite

By JUDY ORREN WHILE they might be a little slower and less polished these days, last weekend the region’s top veterans showed they’ve still got what it takes.

Wandin shaped up against Emerald in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League veterans competition, with the Bulldogs shaking off a slow start to score an emphatic victory in the decider.

In the end, the older Bulldogs showed it is not just the club’s senior team which likes to dominate the competition.

The end result was Wandin 11.13.79 defeating Emerald 4.1.25.

Both teams got off to a slow start with a two-goal to one first quarter.

The victorious Bulldogs team set up the win in the second and third term. Pictures: GREG CARRICK 143437

Wandin turned on the afterburners in the second and kicked 4.4 and kept Emerald scoreless.

The Bulldogs kept up the pressure in the premiership quarter, kicking another 3.4 to 0 to take a grand final-winning lead of 59 points into the last quarter.

The Wandin backline was sensational all day and they never gave Emerald a real chance.

Emerald managed to kick 3.1 to 2.2 in the last to win the quarter, but Wandin had already started their celebrations.

Wandin best players: B. Upton, N. Fritsch (6 goals and best on ground medal winner), M. Ewart Emerald best players: A. Daff (1 goal), G. McKimmie, W. Jessop.

Brushing up for finals

By JUDY ORREN

another cut throat final.

Best: Seville - B. Penwill, M. Goff (2 goals), N. O’Keefe (1 goal) Powelltown - B. Walker, M. Lord (1 goal), G. Sheppard (4 goals)

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Warburton Millgrove 18.11 (119) d Belgrave 9.12 (66) WARBURTON has finished the season well with a big 53-point win over Belgrave. This clash started quite even with Warby leading by just two points at the first change, but Belgrave did waste their chances as they did have three more scoring shots but trailed on the scoreboard. The second quarter was where Warby really set their win up as they played direct no-nonsense football and scored 7 goals to 2 to race to a 32-point lead at the main break. The second half saw Warburton extend their lead as the game progressed, they booted 4 goals to 1 in the third and their lead had blown out to 52 points. The last term was an even one, with both sides booting four goals but this day certainly belonged to Warburton.

DIVISION 2 RESERVES Yarra Junction 7.12 (54) d Alexandra 7.9 (51) (qualifying final) Yarra Junction led at every change of this clash, but they certainly never had a stranglehold on the final result at any time throughout the four quarters. Junction led by just one goal at quarter time, by five points at half-time and by just eight points at the final change. With this game being such a low scoring affair, goals looked like they were going to be hard to come by in the final term and to a degree they were. Alexandra did all they could to snatch the lead, and they did outscore Junction 3 goals to 2, but it wasn’t to be enough as Yarra Junction was able to hold on to win by less than a kick. Yarra Junction will now take on Emerald next week for a spot in the Grand Final while Alex will get another chance as they play Gembrook Cockatoo.

Best: Warburton Millgrove - J. Iacono, S. Andrueza, B. Murphy Belgrave - B. Andric, E. Clasby (3 goals), P. Van Lambaart

Healesville 10.16 (76) d Woori Yallock 5.4 (34) Healesville has booked a double chance as they knocked of Woori Yallock by 38 points which means they will play Monbulk in their first final next week while Woori will now play in next week’s Elimination Final against Olinda. Healesville only booted five goals in the first half of this match but their defence was superb as they held Woori to just one major and kept them scoreless in the second term. The second half was an arm wrestle as goals were hard to come by, with both sides booting three goals in the third, but Healesville was well in control as they went to the final change with a 32-point advantage. The last quarter saw Healesville control the game and not give Woori any real avenues to mount a challenge.

They booted 2 goal to 1 to finish the day with a good victory, and will go into next week’s final with plenty of self-belief.

Best: Yarra Junction - M. Croaker (2 goals), J. Blackler (1 goal), J. Holden (1 goal) Alexandra - B. McDonald (1 goal), C. Jack, M. Coombs (1 goal)

Above: Tom Hinds (Wandin) steals a mark from Stuart Horner (Olinda Ferny Creek).

Best: Healesville - D. Anderson, D. Plozza, J. Nugent Woori Yallock - M. Lowe, H. Smith (1 goal), J. Coombs

Monbulk 22.13 (145) d Mount Evelyn 14.17 (101) This was a high scoring game and even though Mount Evelyn scored over 100 points and didn’t play bad, it was Monbulk that was just classier over the four quarters that gave them their 44-point victory. Monbulk started well, booting 7 goals to 3 in the first term to take a handy fourgoal lead into quarter time. The next two quarters were of high class play and the game went goal for goal for the majority of that time, by the last break Monbulk had stretched their lead but only out to 29 points which kept Mount Evelyn in the game somewhat.

Monbulk did finish the day off pretty well as they booted 6 last quarter goals to 3 to win well and will now take on Healesville in their first final next week while Mount Evelyn can look forward to pre-season and hopefully set themselves up for a successful 2016.

Best: Monbulk - M. Langworthy (5 goals), K. Gray, S. Williams (1 goal) Mount Evelyn - B. Cronkshaw (3 goals), S. Tesoriero, M. Martin (3 goals)

Upwey Tecoma 20.23 (143) d Yarra Glen 11.13 (79) Both sides were playing for pride as neither will take part in finals. Upwey started the cleaner,

Wandin 11.15 (81) d Monbulk 4.6 (30) booting 6 goals to 2 to lead by 23 points at the first change. The second term was a real battle as both defences got on top and there was no easy avenues to goal which only produced one goal apiece in this term. The third term did see the game open up as both teams started to spread, Upwey booted 5 goals to Yarra Glens 4 to lead by 33 points at the final change. Upwey really did get on top in the last as Yarra Glen looked to tire.

They booted 8 goals to 4 to run away with the game and win by a very convincing 64 points.

Gembrook Cockatoo 11.8 (74) d Kinglake 5.12 (42) (elimination final) Thanks to a great second half from Gembrook, they keep their finals dream alive while ending Kinglake’s. The first half of this game was a torrid tight affair, with Kinglake clinging on to a four-point lead at the main break.

The third quarter was where Gembrook set up their victory. Their defensive work was outstanding as they held Alex to just one behind while they booted four goals to go to the last change with a 22-point lead. The last quarter only saw two goals registered, but they both went the way of Gembrook as Kinglake was held goalless yet again ensuring a great 32-point victory to Gembrook who will now get to take on Alexandra next week in another last chance final.

Wandin 22.17 (149) d Olinda Ferny Creek 14.8 (92) Wandin has finished the home and away season on top of the ladder and undefeated after a 57-point win over Olinda. The first half of this game was a beauty. Wandin led by 14 points at the first change, but Olinda played great footy in the second term, scoring 6 goals to 3 and took a one-point lead into half-time. Wandin certainly showed why they are red hot favourites for the flag in the second half as they came out in the third term and attacked relentlessly. They booted 6.6 to Olinda’s 1.1 and all of a sudden Wandin was out to a 34-point lead at the final change.

Wandin finished the day off brilliantly as they booted 8 majors to 4 and will now have a week off, courtesy of finishing on top, while Olinda will take on Woori Yallock in an elimination final next week in what should be a great game.

Best: Wandin - M. Polkinghorne, R. Ross, M. Fowkes (4 goals) Olinda Ferny Creek - K. Currie, D. Noorda, D. Wilson (1 goal)

Division 2 seniors Kinglake 14.7 (91) d Thornton Eildon 9.13 (67) (Qualifying Final) For a final, this game started off a little unin-

spiring as there were only two majors scored in the first quarter which went the way of Kinglake, while Thornton could only scrounge two behinds.

The second term was a lot more exciting as the goals started to come. Kinglake looked the slicker side and it showed on the scoreboard as they booted 5 goals to 3 to lead by 23 points at the long break. The second half was a really good battle and Thornton certainly had their chances to get a lot closer than they did but they booted a very inaccurate 6.9 to Kinglake’s 7.4 to fall 24 points short, come final siren. In the end, Kinglake was just more polished and will now take on Emerald next week, with the winner of that clash heading through to the Grand Final, while Thornton will get another chance as they battle Seville in a door-die final.

Best: Kinglake - L. Arthurson (1 goal), T. Arnott, A. McLaren Thornton Eildon - B. Haden (2 goals), J. Herridge (1 goal), R. Chapman (1 goal)

Seville 17.9 (111) d Powelltown 13.10 (88) (elimination final) Seville lives to fight another day as they got over the line by 23 points, putting an end to Powelltown’s finals dreams. Seville was terrific in the first half as they denied Powelltown any real control with the ball. They scored 10 goals to 3 to take a handy 45-point lead into half-time. Powelltown had to rally if they were to stay in touch and that’s exactly what they did in the third. They took the game on and it paid dividends as they slammed on 7 goals to 1 to storm back into the contest and found themselves just seven points down at the final change. In the last quarter, Seville showed a real maturity as they didn’t panic as they held possession of the ball and slowly gained control back. They finished in fine form, booting 6 goals to 3 to record a good victory, and will now take on Thornton-Eildon next week in

Cross country ends on high

By JAMIE STRUDLEY SUNNY, warm conditions at Lillydale Lake on Saturday provided the perfect atmosphere for a fun end to the Yarra Ranges Athletics cross country season.

Mixed age relays enabled athletes to partner with fellow athletes to complete a 500, 1000 and 1500m leg.

Lots of fun was had by all athletes and spectators.

That was followed by a spec-

Talented young athletes Kiara, James and Georgia with their trophies.

WEDNESDAY 19 August: 4BBB: Winners were Lisa-King and David-Murch, who combined brilliantly for an impressive 43 points. Runner-up: Ian Garside and Trevor Porter (42). The ball run-down went to 37.

Nearest the pins were A.J. on the 9th, Ralph-Logan (15th) and Allan-Hubbard, second shot at the 17th. Saturday 22 August: stableford: In a successful return to the club, for an all-too-rare visit, the club’s most recent life member, Ron-Hanson, won A Grade.

All members present welcomed

Ron back, which clearly made him feel at home, allowing him to amass 37 points. Great to see you again, Ron. B Grade was won by CraigStaggard, with easily the best score on the day; a superb 42 points. Craig also snared the nearest the pins on the 3rd. Others were Eddie-Leonard (5th), the 9th went to the ‘evergreen’ AllanHubbard, 12th was regular guest Alphonse and the tricky 15th went to ‘tricky David’ Murch.
