Road rage shooting

By JESSE GRAHAM and KATH GANNAWAY A CASTELLA man is facing a number of serious charges after an alleged shooting in Healesville on Sunday night.

Police believe that, about 9pm on Sunday 25 October, a 44-year-old Castella man shot at a car driven by a 22-yearold Healesville woman who was accompanied by her 17-year-old brother.

It is believed that the man, in a four-wheel-drive, had been following the Healesville woman’s car, tailgating their vehicle and flashing his lights, before the shot was fired.

The Healesville driver’s brother turned to see a gun and yelled at his sister to duck before a shot was fired through the back window.

The pair managed to contact police, who then met them at the Healesville Walk Shopping Centre car park, where they arrested the 4WD driver when he arrived.

The two vehicles were then cordoned off as police investigated the incident.

Police say they believe the man was not known to either of the victims and have described the attack as bizarre and random.

Maroondah Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Leading Senior Constable Robyn Waite said although the man co-operated with police, he offered “no comment” when asked why he shot at the car.

“No reason was given nothing. No comment,” she said.

Det Leading Sen Const Waite said the pistol used in the shooting was unregistered, and the man was allegedly

drunk at the time of the incident.

“He’s being put before the court today (Monday 26 October) - it will be up to the court to decide whether he gets bail or not,” she said.

“Police are going to be opposing it.”

When asked whether she had heard of this kind of incident in the area before, Det Leading Sen Const Waite said there had been “nothing, luckily”.

The 4WD was not registered in the alleged shooter’s name, and is believed to have been borrowed from its owner.

On Monday 26 October, the Mail received video footage taken from Healesville’s Fluid Lounge’s security cameras, which show a fourwheel-drive flashing its lights at a car in front of it.

Police have not confirmed whether the video shows the two vehicles involved in the shooting.

Maroondah CIU Detective Leading Sen Const David Perryman, who spoke to Mail reporter Kath Gannaway, at the scene, said the Healesville woman and her brother were lucky not to be injured in the incident, but were extremely traumatised.

The man is charged with reckless conduct endangering life, possessing an unregistered handgun, using a loaded firearm in a populous place and driving under the influence of alcohol, among other charges.

Det Leading Sen Const Waite said police were still appealing for witnesses, and asked anyone who had information to contact Maroondah CIU on 9871 3061.

Fatalities etched in mind YARRA Glen CFA Captain Bill Boyd has been to many call-outs in his 25 years with the brigade, but some incidents resonate more than others. In an interview with the Mail last week, Capt Boyd said he had turned out to five fatalities in his time where he knew those involved personally - including the crash on Sunday 16 August, which claimed the life of 16-year-old Cooper Ratten. Though firefighters and emergency crews have support services in place after traumatic incidents, Capt Boyd’s concern is how to get the message of road safety out to the public, and how to convey the intensity of those incidents, which crews often remember with all five senses.

High spirits at fair

By KATH GANNAWAY ROVING minstrels, jousting knights, market stalls and lots of hearty tucker kept the 3000 or so visitors to Camelot Castle at Yellingbo in high spirits on Sunday.

The annual Medieval Village Fair was a huge success, bringing local and visiting families and community groups.

The event is auspiced by WHYLD and run by Yellingbo CFA, Camelot Castle and Woori Community House to give local families an affordable day out in spring.

The Punch & Judy show was a huge success again this year along with the free games organised by the Hoddles Creek CFA Junior volunteers.

Event spokesperson Sonja Mazar from Woori Community House said the fair was about giving back to the community and promoting community spirit and networking.

“It is great to see this event so well supported by local people and organisations,” she said.

Ms Mazar said the financial support for the event by the Woori Yallock Community (Bendigo) Bank was a great example of that support.

“They really have put back into the community to enable us to put on a low-cost family day and without their support it wouldn’t happen.

She saidYarra Valley FM radio station was another great supporter.

Donations made on the day will assist Yellingbo CFA.

THREE of Healesville’s proud workers were acknowledged by the Rotary Club of Healesville earlier this month, when the group handed out its Pride of Workmanship Awards.

The Rotary Club handed out its awards to Sara Daniels and the Mail’s own Jesse Graham, and a certificate of appreciation to Pam Druitt at Sanctuary House Resort Motel on Thursday, 15 October.

Ms Druitt received her certificate to mark 50 years of “outstanding service and personal committment" working as a pharmacy assistant in Healesville, while Ms Daniels was acknowledged for her “outstanding customer service and horticultural advice“ at the Black Spur Nursery and Florist.

Mr Graham received his award for “providing a voice for the community“ through the Mail News Group.

The awards were handed out by Rotarian, John Robinson, who praised each of the receipients before they in turn gave a short acceptance speech.

Down to fatal choice

In brief Fugitives spotted at Castella

Bright days for op shop workers

INTERSTATE fugitives, Gino and Mark Stocco, are believed to have made a brief trip into the Yarra Valley last week while on the run from police.

Victoria Police announced on Thursday 22 October, that the pair - who have been on the run for eight years - were spotted by police at 1am at a police checkpoint on the Melba Highway in Castella.

“The police unit began following the vehicle, which sped off at a fast rate of speed towards Glenburn,“ a police spokesperson said.

“A decision was made not to engage with the occupants of the vehicle and the sighting was radioed through to other units in the area."

Police from around the state gathered around Glenburn and Yea over the week, as police hunted the fugitives, who allegedly shot at police near Wagga Wagga on Friday 16 October.

Though police set up checkpoints around a search area that included Yarra Glen, Marysville and Kinglake, the fugitives are believed to be in the north east area of Victoria or near the border to New South Wales.

The pair are believed to be driving a stolen white Toyota Landcruiser four-wheel-drive, featuring a white bull-bar, white rims and a black snorkel.

Police believe they have registration plates reading ZUE632 (Victorian), YHS085 (Victorian), S415AZL (South Australian, and BV70WP (New South Wales). Anyone sighting the pair is asked to call triple-zero immediately and to not approach the men.

Spectacle Site break-in

AFTER setting up at the west end of Healesville in a new shop on 1 November 1995, the Lions Club of Healesville has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the community.

Lion’s Den Op-Shop member Bert Bresser said the shop had raised about $1.5 million in its 24 year history.

As of 1 November, the shop will have officially been at 183 Maroondah Highway, Healesville, for 20 years, having previously spent four years in another spot across the road.

Member Elaine Dossor said the Lions’ Den moved across the street on 16 October, though the lease began as of 1 November.

She said the shop was the brainchild of Lions member Roy Collins who took on the project and brought members along with him.

“And we haven’t looked back,” she said.

The op-shop sells books, clothing, records and homewares, among other items, and uses the proceeds for donations or for community projects.

Ms Dossor said building the Healesville Senior Citizens Hall was one of the Lions Club’s projects, as was the clock that sat by the intersection at the west-end of the town’s main street.

She said that 22 volunteers worked with Lions members to run the shop.

Helen Waixel said she volun-

cars and the people and ... I don’t think they fully understand what it’s like to hold someone’s hand when they’re dying.

“There may not be a lot we can do until the ambos get there, except hold their hand and tell them that it’s going to be OK. “I reckon if they did it once, they would never forget it and it would change their attitude to the way they behave and the way they drive.”

He said one key to the tragedies he had seen was that, at some point, a choice was made - whether it was a choice to get into a car with a friend who may not be ready to drive, the choice to get behind the wheel when over-tired, or to accelerate on a dangerous stretch of road.

Whether the choice is conscious or subconscious, the wrong one can yield “disastrous” consequences, and the incident can then ripple

through the community - as so many have in the Yarra Valley.

Though friends and families are often left shattered by these incidents, Capt Boyd said the problem in the aftermath was how to get the message of road safety through to everyone, not just those impacted.

“It’s awareness, the choices we make and the consequences of those choices - and how do you tell young people that think they’re bulletproof?“ he said.

He said the CFA and other emergency services all had peer-support and counselling - as well as welfare calls from nearby brigades - to help shaken members deal with traumatic incidents.

But tragedy and disaster is partand-parcel of the job, and it all takes its toll.

POSSIBLY-bespectacled burglars are being sought by police, after a break-in at Healesville’s Spectacle Site optometrist earlier this month.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said between noon on Saturday 17 October and 8am on Monday 19 October, a lever was used to force entry to the Maroondah Highway business’s front door.

The would-be burglars then went to the reception area of the store, ransacking cupboards and a cash-drawer, though police were not able to provide details of what was taken in the burglary.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Old prescriptions stolen POLICE are asking witnesses to come forward after a break-in at the Healesville Pharmacy last week.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said between 6pm on Wednesday 21 October and 9am the following day, unknown persons broke into a shed at the Maroondah Highway business.

Det Sgt Smithwick said a box containing old prescriptions was believed to be stolen in the incident.

Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

WHEN Yarra Glen CFA Captain Bill Boyd’s pager went off at 3am on Sunday 16 August with the details of a serious crash, he knew he would be seeing local faces among the wreckage.

Capt Boyd said that in his 25 years with the brigade, he had turned out to five fatal crashes involving local people he knew personally.

“You see where the address is and you think ‘it’s got to be local’ not too many people would go down those roads, if they didn’t know where they went,” he said.

But there was little information on hand until Capt Boyd and the CFA crew pulled up to the mangled remains of a Volkswagen Tiguan, sitting destroyed next to a vineyard on Glenview Road.

On that August morning,

16-year-old Cooper Ratten was killed when the stolen car, driven by a teenager believed to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol, lost control and left the road at high speed.

When the CFA turned up, they were some of the first on the scene.

“I didn’t recognise the kids, because I hadn’t seen them since they were very small,” Capt Boyd said.

“But one of my members recognised them straight away.“ Capt Boyd said each fatality resonates in a community, through family members, friends and the emergency services members who respond to the incident, and remember them with all five senses.

“Quite frankly, people talk about it in the street, but they don’t get the sense of smell, they don’t see it first-hand,” Capt Boyd said.

“They don’t get to touch the hot

Snakes and pets bad mix aid

Debra Boland

¡ Clean up spilled food, fruit and bird seed, which can attract rodents; ¡ When walking your pet, keep them on a leash; ¡ Steer your pet clear of long grasses,

bushes and rocks.

Snakes can strike across a distance equal to about half their body length.

If you see a snake, head back the

way you came.

Familiarise yourself with snakes that are common in your area.

In the event of a bite, identifying the type of snake may help with your pet’s treatment A snakebite rarely bleeds significantly and is notoriously hard to find.

If you find a dead snake in your garden, or have reason to believe your pet has been bitten, get your pet to the vet as soon as possible.

A pet that has suffered a snakebite initially may show signs of sudden collapse, vomiting, trembling, salivation and excessive panting.

It is possible that your dog may also appear normal.

Within about 30 minutes of being bitten, your pet may start to show symptoms of: Paralysis; Weakness; Wobbly legs; Dilated pupils; and Difficulty with breathing.

Animal Aid recommends the following if your pet has been bitten: Remember to stay calm; Keep your pet calm too through limiting their activity; If possible, keep the location of the bite below heart level; Seek veterinary care for your pet immediately;

AS THE weather warms up, Animal Aid is urging pet owners to take extra care not only when venturing outdoors with their pets, but also in their own backyards.

McCarthy out of mayoralty

By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy will not be seeking re-election when councillors meet for their mayoral election next month.

Cr McCarthy told the Mail that she would not contest the position of mayor at the 17 November special council meeting, where councillors elect the mayor and deputy mayor for the coming year.

“I’m looking forward to going back to being just the councillor, and my home will be happy,” she said, referencing a garden that had been neglected during her mayoral year.

“I’m not interested in being re-elected.”

Describing her time as mayor as a “big eye-opener”, Cr McCarthy said that her year in the mayor’s chair put her in contact with community groups and organisations outside of her own ward of Billanook.

She paid tribute to the groups around the Yarra Ranges, and said they and council, overall, had the same goal - to make the area the best they could.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s environment, history, community groups or service clubs, everybody’s there for the same purpose - they want to make Yarra Ranges a better place,” Cr McCarthy said.

A Yarra Ranges Council spokesperson said that Cr McCarthy had presented “at least” 50 formal speeches during her time as mayor, as well as a number of informal speeches.

Cr McCarthy said that she had lost much of her public speaking confidence in recent years, after experiencing medical issues, though some had been regained through her time with Wandin Toastmasters Club.

“Although I was a Toastmaster before and I had my own business, I was quite confident in my own space but I lost that,” she said.

“They’ve been very helpful - even sitting in the chair, it’s helped just to be confident speaking and using the microphone.

“It felt quite good to be in the chair yesterday (Tuesday 13 October).”

Cr McCarthy said no-one had yet put their hand up for the mayoral position, though nominations would be organised in the lead-up to the meeting.

Car park on the way

By KATH GANNAWAY WORK on a new $259,000 car park at Woori Yallock Primary School will start soon.

School captains Kassity Cairns and Orlando Russell joined Casey MP Tony Smith and Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child on Friday for a symbolic turning of the sod to set the project on its way.

It will take more than a shiny shovel to break decades of compacted soil, but the significance of the event was enough to bring a smile and a sigh of relief to principal Danny Hyndman, assistant principal Brendan Fitzpatrick and School Council president Kate Russell, who have advocated, waited and worked hard to get a new, safe car park for the school.

The car park will serve not only the school, but other groups in the community who use the school’s facilities after hours.

Mr Smith said it was an exciting day for everyone involved in getting the project up and running.

“I was very pleased to be able to promise at the last Federal Election that if our government was elected we would fund the project,” he said.

He recognised the role O’Shannassy Ward representative Cr Child had played as mayor at the time, saying he had advocated strongly and was instrumental, along with council’s director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Vermalis, in getting the council on board to deliver the project.

On the go – Danny Hyndman, Tony Smith, MP, Cr Jim Child and school captains Kassity Cairns and Orlando Russell launched the new car park project. 146031 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY “With work now underway, the Woori Yallock Primary School students, teachers, parents and wider community will soon see a safer car park area.”

Cr Child said Yarra Ranges Council had a reputation for getting projects shovel ready, and the Woori Yallock school car park was an example of that.

“This project is a great example of a partnership ap-

proach,” he said.

“The school lobbied for the car park, the Federal Government funded it and council will deliver it.

“It will significantly improve the traffic congestion, not only for the school community, but for residents in the local streets.”

Mr Hyndman thanked Mr Smith and Cr Child for their

strong advocacy on behalf of the school, and noted the work done by Ms Russell and Mr Fitzpatrick who, he said, had been the driving forces behind the school’s campaign to get a safer car park.

The project will extend and seal the existing gravel car park, provide a disabled parking space and new footpath connections.

Warning on fires - conditions similar to 1939

Letters

THERE has been a continuing downward trend in rainfall at Powelltown and East Warburton similar to that which preceded the disastrous 1939 fire season.

Mrs Harvey dies at 98 A WOMAN who came from England when she was 12 and settled in Warburton 40 years ago died at the age of 98 on Sunday.

Laura Jane Harvey, of Main Road, Warburton, was a foundation member of the Warburton Women’s Croquet Club, a past president of the Women’s National League until the war years when they transferred their activities to the Red Cross.

She was president of the CWA for many years and president of St Mary’s Guild for 12 years.

New hospital wing opened UPPER Yarra residents and official guests numbered about 170 at the official opening of the new nurses’ home annexe of the Yarra Junction Hospital on Sunday.

The new wing, which will accommodate five nurses, cost £10,500 to build and was financed on a Government Grant of £3 for every £1 raised locally.

The opening was performed by Miss E. Francis OBE, a superintendent of the Victorian Bush Nursing Association for some 34 years.

Healesville Guardian 26 October, 1935 Healesville Bowling and Croquet clubs UNDER somewhat threatening weather conditions, the official opening of the Healesville Bowling and Croquet clubs was performed on Wednesday afternoon by the Shire President Cr. Mowle.

The attendance was smaller than usual.

The council had lent a favourable ear to the club’s suggestion of extending the greens in place of the tennis courts.

It was decided that this move would prove an additional attraction to the district and attract a desirable class of visitor.

Unfortunately, at the present time some undesirables were making the town their rendezvous but steps would be taken to prevent this.

Healesville Football Club ON Friday night the Memorial Hall

was such a magnet of gaiety and colour that it attracted approximately 350 people, young and old to participate in the Healesville Football Club’s annual ball.

The tasteful decorations reflected very creditably on the ability of Mr. Bob Jenkins who supervised the arrangements.

The colour scheme harmonised artistically with red and white colours of the club and the supplementary hues of multi coloured balloons and streamers.

The doors were manned by Messrs H. Pollard, B. Moore and F. Riddle.

The ticket box was in the capable hand of the captain of the Healesville team, Mr. C. Sinclair.

Fuelling climate change LAST week the Minister for the Environment approved the controversial Adani coal mine.

Giving this mine the green light suggests it is OK for the environment.

Everyone knows that coal-powered climate change is already damaging a wide variety of environments around the world.

We also know that coal is a major source of air pollution and related health problems.

Environmentally, it is a no brainer that no new coal mines should be approved.

Exporting coal is also wrong morally.

It is unethical to sell a product that we know is damaging to the health of present and future generations.

The Adani mine is just short-term gain for long-term pain.

In south-east Australia, we will experience this pain directly through more droughts and hotter, drier summers and an increased number of extreme bushfire events.

Healesville draws last blood

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLIANS will no longer be able to donate blood in town, with the Red Cross’ mobile blood donation service visiting the town for the final time last week.

People lined up at the Healesville Senior Citizens Hall from 19-21 October for the final blood service in Healesville, following an announcement earlier this month that the service would be winding up.

Donors played musical chairs, going from a waiting area with forms, to talk to blood service staff, before hopping up on medical tables to donate blood and later having a drink and a bite to eat.

Toolangi resident Erica Stryk was one of the long-term visitors donating blood for the last time on Wednesday 21 October.

Ms Stryk said Wednesday’s donation was her 56th blood donation since she had turned 18.

When asked why she donated blood, she put it simply - “I’ve got it, and it’s no skin from my knees.”

“And it’s useful,” she added.

“It’s not a big deal - it’s a prick in the arm, and then you just lay there.”

She said she had known someone who had to receive a blood transfusion, though she was already a donor at the time.

“It helps to know that it’s made good use of,” she said.

State Donor Services manager Maureen Bower said over the last 13 years, enough blood had been donated through the Healesville service to be used for 27,000 patients But a blood service spokesperson said the mobile service, which had visited the town quarterly for 13 years, would no longer visit Healesville due to less demand for red blood cell donations.

“Currently, Australia’s demand for

Toolangi resident Erica Stryk donates blood in Healesville for the last time. 145969 plasma is at an all-time high, while demand for red cells - derived from whole blood donations - continues to fall,” the spokesperson said in a written statement.

“Medicinal science keeps find-

ing new ways to use plasma products, leading to this increase in demand, and we need to adjust what we collect to meet this growing need.”

“We hope our donors will understand this change is a reflection of

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

shifting demand, as hospitals change the way they use blood products to treat patients.”

The mobile service will still visit Lilydale quarterly, while donations can be made by appointment at the

Ringwood Donor Centre.

Each blood donation is said to save three lives. To make an appointment to donate blood, or to check to see if you are eligible, visit www.donateblood. com.au or call 13 14 95.

Scooped half the field

ADVERTISEMENT

By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Valley wines have again been recognised as a cut above the rest, taking out half of the trophies at this month’s Royal Melbourne Wine Awards.

The 2016 trophy winners were announced on Thursday, 15 October, with Innocent Bystander taking out the Trevor Mast Trophy for Best Shiraz with its Mea Culpa Syrah, 2014.

Coldstream Hills’ Reserve Chardonnay, 2014, received the Francois De Castella Trophy for Best Young White, while the Victorian Trophy for White Wines of Provenance went to TarraWarra Estate’s Chardonnay, 2014, 2008 and 2004.

Oakridge Wines’ Local Vineyard Series Barkala Ridge 2013 Chardonnay received the Douglas Seabrook Trophy for Best Single Vineyard Wine, and Yarra Valley wines were awarded 83 medals at the awards - 13 of which were gold, 27 silver and 46 bronze.

Innocent Bystander winemaker, Steve Flamsteed, said the trophy was one of the winery’s most prestigious to date.

“We’ve won a few competitions and a few trophies, but I think this is the most important, for shiraz particularly,” he said.

Mr Flamsteed, a winemaker for 36 years, said the namesake of the award was a guru in the

world of winemaking.

“The guy that the trophy is named after, Trevor Mast, is a bit of a guru of ours, certainly a guru of mine,” he said.

“He planted Shiraz in The Grampians, along with a bunch of other people, and began to make really perfumed, pretty shirazes, that still had plenty of body and plenty of weight, but had a whole other spectrum of flavour.

“We used to visit him when we were young students, because this wine was so incredibly made.”

Mr Flamsteed said the Mea Culpa Syrah 2014 was a “bright and peppery, and highly per-

✓ Female Friendly ✓ 1 Stop Service Shop ✓ Roadworthy Licensed ✓ Keep Your New Car Warranty ✓ Honest & Reliable ✓ FREE Loan Cars

fumed” wine, made in a single vineyard.

“It’s a single-vat wine, on a single vineyard parcel, on a single site, so it’s very unique,” he said.

He said that awards such as those in the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards helped to promote the Yarra Valley’s wineries to an international market.

“In Australia, there’re 22 million people, and you only have access to a certain proportion of that population,” he said.

“If you want to be a really successful winery, you have to also be looking outside Australia - the world is your market now.“

Lilydale Mechanical Centre LILYDALE Mechanical Centre is the only Automotive workshop in the Yarra Valley region that is solely owned and operated by a lady, Jenny Akker.

In fact, Jenny believes she is in the only female in Victoria with a Roadworthy Licence.

The business prides itself on offering an inviting, family friendly atmosphere that does not include any unexpected financial ‘surprises’ at the end of the service.

To facilitate this family friendly promise, the business caters for children in the waiting room and has free loan cars with car-seat fittings.

Jenny said quality service for the customer is the business’s priority.

“We have created an environment where ladies feel comfortable, a great centre for both males and females who have limited understanding of mechanical issues,” she said.

“Things are explained in layman’s terms.

“We never over-service and can be relied upon for honest assessments.”

If you have a good understanding of mechanical issues you will appreciate our expertise Jenny said Lilydale Mechanical Centre has a reception area, fully qualified mechanics and fully qualified gas fitters.

“All staff completed their apprenticeship with the business many years ago and continued to work here,” she said.

“They are conscientious staff who are concerned about vehicle safety and are expert in quick diagnosis.”

The business has a fully equipped workshop and can cater for any automotive need, including four-wheel-drive vehicles with their own 4x4 on site Dyno!

They are a VicRoads Licensed Roadworthy Centre, you can keep new car warranty as they are authorised to stamp handbooks and can install and service LPG on vehicles.

Jenny said the business’s expert diagnosis means lower labour costs and their use of quality products, including oils, filters, spark plugs and more ensures you get a top job.

But overall, it is about keeping the customer satisfied and their vehicle running in top condition.

“I understand how daunting it can be sometimes to take your car to the mechanics,” she said.

“But, rest assured, we will help ease any worries.”

Lilydale Mechanical Centre is located at 2/6 Industry Court, Lilydale.

Kinders get some cash

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS FOUR kindergartens in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges have received over $45,000 in funding grants from the State Government to improve their building and IT infrastructure.

State Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos said over 350 kindergartens would share in $2.6 million worth of grants to improve their services and facilities.

“These upgrades will create better playrooms, as well as giving our youngest Victorians access to technology that will form part of their education for years to come,” she said.

All Saints Preschool in Yarra Junction, the Woori Yallock Preschool, Marysville and District Kindergarten, and Talaskia Child Care Centre in Upper Ferntree Gully were awarded the grant money announced on Tuesday 13 October.

Kindergartens who have been awarded grant money have received up to $25,000 for minor expansion works, up to $10,000 for minor refurbishment works and up to $1500 in IT grants.

In a written statement, Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said these grants would improve early childhood education and lead to more effective learning.

“As a parent of two young chil-

dren, I know the importance parents place on our local kinders needing to be up to speed with the latest technology so our kids have opportunities to try different ways of learning,” she said.

These grants form part of the Labor Government’s $50 million investment in the early childhood sector through the building and upgrading of kindergartens and children’s centres across Victoria.

Letting it all hang out for possums

By JESSE GRAHAM OH POSSUM is right.

A group of four antilogging protesters gathered on Friday at Fernshaw picnic ground along the Black Spur for a cheeky demonstration.

The group gathered at about 11am and stood by the roadside, bearing signs promoting a proposal for a new national park and against logging in the area.

After observing a number of fully-laden logging trucks travelling towards Healesville, the group stripped off and covered themselves with their signs after noon, when hearing a heavy engine roaring around the corner.

However, the truck driver greeted by the naked (albeit covered) protesters was for Bark King, a Montrose-based mulch business.

The group cheered and laughed as the truck passed, before putting their clothes back on and gathering for lunch, while they waited for other protesters to arrive.

The national park proposal, the Great Forest National Park (GFNP), involves establishing a national park in the Central Highlands - a measure that would bring an end to logging in the Toolangi area, which is the home of the critically-endangered Leadbeater’s Possum.

The proposal is being fiercely debated between environmental groups and proponents of the timber industry, and the future of the possum is yet to be discussed by an industry taskforce being organised by the Victorian Government.

Police swoop

By KATH GANNAWAY POLICE from around the Yarra Valley swooped on an illegal burn-out fest in Hoddles Creek last week, impounding two vehicles and issuing defect notices and fines.

Police received numerous reports of as many as 100 cars gathered at Ship Rock Falls in Gembrook-Launching Place Road at around 9pm on Friday, 17 October, with several drivers doing burn-outs.

Senior Constable Rob Firns of Warburton Police said 10 police units responded to calls made to triple-zero by members of the public attempting to use the road.

“They reported multiple vehicles doing burnouts with other vehicles blocking the road, attempting to create a drag strip or burn-out pad on the road,” he said.

“Generally with these events, there are a minority of people engaging in the burnouts and a significant number there as onlookers.”

Sen Const Firns said it attracted people from all over eastern Melbourne, with many from the south east including areas such as Pakenham, Cranbourne and Narre Warren.

He said police, from past experience of similar events, responded with a targeted approach that involved a large number of police.

In this instance units from the Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol, Yarra Glen, Healesville, Warburton, Yarra Junction, Lilydale and Mooroolbark, and the Police Canine Unit were brought in.

Police observed one vehicle doing burnouts and vehicles were checked for roadworthiness.

“We identified two vehicles, one of which was impounded for hoon driving, second vehicle a repeat suspended driver who had his vehicle seized and impounded as well.

Sen Const Firns said no-one was identified as being intoxicated but said he believed the prompt police response prevented any escalation in behaviour.

“There are places people can go to engage in that sort of driving behaviour in a controlled environment,” he said.

“A public road is not one of those places.”

Anyone who witnesses anti-social or dangerous driving should immediately phone triple-zero to assist a prompt police response.

Festival has everything under the sun AS THE sun sets on Wandin on Friday, 27 November, Christmas festivities will be in full swing.

The retailers of Wandin Shopping Centre and community groups are once more hosting the annual Wandin Sunset Festival.

As always, they’re inviting local people of all ages to join in the fun and excitement.

If previous years are anything to go by, there will be lots to see, do, eat and enjoy.

So bring along your family and friends and have an amazingly fun time.

More than 60 market stalls will provide a great opportunity for guests to support local groups and businesses, as they work their way through their Christmas gift list.

To add to the entertainment, there will be local dance, martial arts and fitness demonstrations, which will be there to add to the great sense of community spirit and involvement.

Also during the evening, the CFA will be demonstrating the jaws of life on a vehicle.

There will be hot rods, chainsaw carving, raffles and fireworks.

For the kids, there will be a petting zoo, jumping castles, face painters, balloons, a bucking bull ride, craft activities, pony rides and, of course, the star of the show - Santa!

The festival will run from 5pm to 9pm.

Organisers hope to see all their local school families and families from in and around the Yarra Valley to be part of the community festival.

The event is proudly organised by Wandin Traders and Community Groups and sponsored by the Yarra Ranges Council.

There is plenty of time for guests near and far to get on board and support this event.

Make sure to mark it in your diary and head along to a fantastic community evening out.

School’s market forces

By JESSE GRAHAM

CWA Wanallock co-ordinators Bev Clark and Wanda McPherson and Group President of Yarra Valley CWA, Lorraine Hort, with show some of the Home Comforts to the Front Picture: KATH GANNAWAY exhibits. 145997

All the work of women

By KATH GANNAWAY THE work of more than 40 Country Women’s Association members, along with contributions from other community craft groups from around the Yarra Valley feature in Home Comforts to the Front, a patchwork and textile exhibition that opened at The Memo in Healesville on Friday night.

Presented by the CWA’s Wanallock Branch, it’s a WWI Centenary exhibition that looks at a very different aspect of the war, focusing on the work and the role of the women back home.

It’s a little-known story presented through contemporary pieces and treasured family WWI mementos.

Co-ordinator, Wanda McPherson, said thousands of

items of clothing, including socks and sheepskin vests were sent overseas on the troop ships.

The exhibition includes contemporary textiles and original hand-made items that were sent to husbands and family members to provide comfort while they were overseas.

Original WWI knitting patterns will be presented as well as reproductions of these items that demonstrate the skills of the artists.

Mrs McPherson said many of the exhibits have personal stories attached to them and added that researching and making the items had been an emotional undertaking for many of the women.

She said the exhibition was an eclectic collection that would appeal to people of different ages and interests.

YARRA Glen Primary School will host an evening of entertainment with its annual twilight market.

Heartland Church Senior Pastor Mike Baimbridge said the market, organised by students and staff, was an initiative by the school to teach students about commerce, business and handling money.

The students will run their own stalls at the market, selling goods and food to visitors, while community groups will run their own information stalls or activities.

Mr Baimbridge said Yarra Valley FM, HICCI (Healesville Interchurch Community Care), Yarra Glen police, Yarra Glen CFA, (Glen.) Youth Group and the Men’s Shed would all be at the market.

“The whole idea, I guess, is to bring those partners together as well as have a couple of hours of community celebration,” he said.

Food and beverages will be on sale on the evening and activities such as sack races may be on the cards although Mr Baimbridge said the final details were still being organised.

“A lot of exhibitions and events throughout the early part of this year have focused on the major role the men played and the conflict and I think now we can step back and reflect on the contributions women made,” she said.

The exhibition was funded by the Federal Government ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Program and was officially opened by Casey MP, Tony Smith.

Mrs McPherson thanked both the Federal Government and Yarra Ranges Council for supporting the project, which she said had enabled it to be presented as a free exhibition.

Home Comforts to the Front will be on show until Tuesday, 17 November. Visit www.culturetracks.info for more information.

Dying Girl’s slow death ME AND Earl and the Dying Girl is an acclaimed indie film with a big heart but a poor judge of character.

Withdrawn high-school senior and amateur filmmaker Greg (Thomas Mann) is pushed into a friendship with Rachel (Olivia Cooke), a classmate who has been diagnosed with leukaemia and finds himself caring about her far more than he ever expected.

I should have loved this movie. The performances are outstanding, the visual style is lush and the film is bursting with love for classic cinema, including frequent references to the great German director/artistic wacko Werner Herzog.

But Me and Etc. feels emotionally lukewarm due to a severe, foolish imbalance of its main characters.

Anti-heroes are an established and fascinating species of character, but Greg is so weaselly, sullen and unambitious that he becomes insufferable to watch.

Furthermore, he only de-

velops because other characters admonish or force him to, which deprives him of agency.

Rachel is a sweet character and her slow, inexorable death (and its toll on her self-image) is heartbreaking, but we see far too little of her to receive the full intended impact. Earl (Ronald Cyler) is also a fairly superficial presence in the overall plot.

With a truly terrible protagonist sinking what would have otherwise been a touching film, Me And Earl And The Dying Girl needs more of the dying girl and less of the “me”.

YARRA Valley residents and visitors from further afield flocked to the Healesville Railway Station over the weekend for the Healesville Heritage Festival.

The festival, which ran on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, saw vintage trucks, engines and cars fill the grounds at the station, taking visitors back in time with displays, exhibits and entertainment.

Steam machines weren’t the only thing on display, with interesting vintage vehicles on display, including Peter and Linda Dickenson’s pink tractor, painted for breast cancer awareness.

Being held at the railway station, visitors were also ferried to and fro up the railway line in the Yarra Valley Railway Walker Railmotor RM22 - which will run visitors along the line towards Yarra Glen when the line re-opens in coming years.

Mail photographer Greg Carrick stopped by the festival to capture the action.

FRIENDLY homes and animal lovers are being sought to help foster an influx of kittens being brought to Animal Aid over the Christmas period.

Animal Aid CEO Mark Menze said that staff and foster carers were rapidly preparing for “kitten season” - the time of year where people surrender or abandon a huge amount of cats and kittens to the shelter.

“They come in through various ways - public finds, people will find kittens and bring them in, or rangers will find kittens that have been dumped, or people surrender kittens when their cats have a litter,” Mr Menze said.

“Typically, they’re underweight - anything from a couple of weeks old or up.”

In the last financial year, Mr Menze said 18 guinea pigs, 31 rabbits, 71 cats and 611 kittens were fostered out through Animal Aid - with a total of 23,984 foster care days recorded in the year alone.

This is where foster carers come in.

Mr Menze said that foster carers took care of the kittens or other animals until they were between eight to ten weeks old,

Animal Aid's Tracy Menze and Megan Pritchard with kittens who need a loving foster home. 145774 Picture: ROB CAREW when they were assessed by a vet, de-sexed and put up for adoption.

“A lot of it is about socialisation for the animal - kittens want to play, cats want to roam, so being in someone’s home is the ideal environment, and they can get used to kids and other animals,” he said.

“I’m speaking first-hand, because my wife and I foster a lot of cats and kittens.”

In the lead-up to the season - which runs from November to June - Animal Aid will be running an information night at its Coldstream shelter from

6.30-8.30pm on Thursday, 29 October.

At the meeting, Animal Aid’s head vet, Dr Adele Scannell and shelter cattery manager, Lynne Bell, will speak about how to care for the animals and monitor their health, as well as other information about fostering.

“We have a few foster carers that might drop off over the course of the season, and so we need to regularly recruit and keep on top of it,” Mr Menze said.

To register interest in the information night, call Animal Aid on 9739 0300.

Moore shines for Stars YARRA Valley Ladies Cricket team played Pakenham Upper Toomuc last week, with the girls coming home with their second win for the season.

The Stars won the toss and elected to field, P.U.T. got off to a shaky start giving a few chances in the field.

However, the girls were unable to hold onto the catches as they had done the week before, seeing captain Downes and Caruana both making half centuries.

But once they did make the breakthrough, they were able to get through the order fairly convincingly.

An undefeated century

by Donna Moore finishing on 101 not out was the highlight of the day.

Donna opened the batting and carried her bat through to the end of the innings; her shot selection and experience showed in her approach as she built her innings.

She was also excellent with the ball, taking 3/20 off 10.

Best bowlers: Donna Moore 3/20 off 10, Marlee Wandin 3/42 off 8 Best batters: Donna Moore 101no, Caitlyn Parker 15, Marlee Wandin 12, Ebony Camilleri 6, Jessica Day 4 Next match against Frankson at Frankston.

The Under 10s team took to the field this week with seven girls playing some for the first time and some as young as five.

They played against Warburton and had their first win.

It was a fantastic night and all the players had an amazing time.

Great signs for the future.

Ladies of all ages, if you think cricket is a sport for you, then Yarra Valley Stars is the team to join.

They also have an Under 10s Girls team.

For further details, contact Leah Parker 0411 417 253.

Donna Moore finished the day on 101no, which was a highlight for the club.

Bloods are in box seat

By PETER DOUGLAS TWO-DAY cricket kicked off in the Yarra Valley last Saturday, and the batsmen brought their patience in a day of dogged cricket.

Healesville bounced back from the disappointment of last weekend’s dual losses, with a commanding batting performance against Hoddles Creek.

The battle before tea was one of patience from both sides, as the Bloods looked to establish a position from which they could attack.

Against some consistent bowling, the top order did an excellent job of keeping things intact; and with the score at 1/80 at the break, they had successfully negated the new ball and looked set to cash in.

Missing from the first couple of rounds, Adam Violi (72) and Brian Scanlon (59) proved their worth to this line-up as their experience and stroke play quickly had the score ballooning at a rapid rate.

Jeremy Derix (3/34) and Nick Lawlor (3/69) did their best to try and stem the flow, but the old adage of 'wickets in hand’ allowed some freedom in the batsmen coming to the crease.

When stumps were drawn, Healesville had built an imposing score of 8/269.

Hoddles Creek will have to bat well to reach the target and will rely on their established stars to carry the load.

Their top-order has begun the season well and they will be confident of chasing the total, if they can get themselves into the innings.

On the other hand, Healesville will be cock-ahoop after their best batting display in some time.

One would think they are in the box seat.

Warburton-Millgrove and Seville battled it out in a tough day’s cricket at Warburton.

The home side batted most of the day against some steady bowling from the Blues.

David Lever looked threatening early and raced to 38, but his dismissal stunted the Burras’ innings somewhat.

Generally regarded as a fringe player, Jeremy Lewis showed that he is ready to step up to A Grade after a run-making season in RA Finger Trophy last season.

His innings of 63 provided some much-needed backbone to an otherwise disappointing innings.

Warburton-Millgrove would be disappointed they could not capitalise on some solid starts; and although they reached a good score of 208, deep down they would’ve been hoping for more.

With an experienced bowling line-up, Warburton-Millgrove have themselves in front of this contest and they will be counting on some early strikes to put a young Seville batting line-up under pressure.

The batsmen on the other hand will know a good start, and some patient batting, will be key to giving the chase a real shake, and that the score is far from one that is impossible to chase.

In the final game of the round, Woori Yallock showed they are going to be a tough team to wear down as they took the honours on day one against Mount Evelyn.

Mount Evelyn opened the contest with the bat.

In a patient display on a slow ground, the Rovers did their best to set up a large total, but threw wickets away at crucial times, leaving them short of a significant score.

After a useful opening partnership, captain Damian Cupido (40) looked as if he was set for a big day, but with his wicket falling when set for the race to the finish, the Rovers innings lacked punch as the remaining batsmen were caught between caution of a collapse and adding vital runs to the score.

Chad Witherdin (21) and Jesse Fraser (29) added some healthy blow and the young tail held things together.

But the nagging, and disciplined, bowling of Dan Mock (5/46) and Ben Hayes (3/62) proved the difference in keeping the score under 200.

The Rovers would be happy in all but batting out the day, but they know that 172 is short of the mark.

Having said that, it is still a tricky total to chase.

If Mount Evelyn can return the favour with some patient bowling, and take consistent wickets, then it’s game on, but they will be aware that if they give this strong, and at times brutal, Woori Yallock batting line-up an inch, they could be in for a long day in the field.
