■ Premier Daniel Andrews firm on family violence...

No more excuses’

By KATH GANNAWAY THE Royal Commission into Family Violence released Wednesday 30 March has delivered a raft of 227 recommendations to the Victorian Government.

Premier Daniel Andrews responded with a broad commitment to implement every one of the recommendations and said work was already underway on recommendations around risk management and information sharing.

“There can be no more excuses,” he said.

“Our work begins today to overhaul our broken family violence system from the bottom up.”

The commission’s recommendations that call for new approaches cover a number of key areas including the establishment of support and safety hubs in local communities to make it easier for victims to find help and access a greater range of services.

Other recommendations are for: Victims’ safety being forefront over ‘privacy issues’ with a Central Information Point to funnel information about perpetrators to the hubs.

An immediate funding boost to services that support victims and families with additional resources for Aboriginal community initiatives, and with a dedicated funding stream for preventing family violence.

Expanded investigative capacity for police and more specialist family violence courts that can deal simultaneously with criminal, civil and family law matters.

Stronger perpetrator programs and increased monitoring and oversight by agencies.

Family violence training for all key workforces, including in hospitals and schools.

Among these recommendations, two address the recurring and underlying issues that the Mail touched on in its six-week ‘Stop the Violence Campaign’ in 2011.

They are a lack of accommodation for victims, which effectively stops them leaving a violent situation, and the need to address the cause of family violence from an early age.

The commission’s recommendations call for a ‘blitz’ to rehouse women and children forced to leave their homes which would be supported with expanded individual funding packages.

AFTER 23 years of guiding visitors down the paths at Healesville Sanctuary, Rae and Jean Church are calling it a day. The couple, who started volunteering at the tourist destination in March 1993, recently finished up as volunteer guides and visited on Friday 1 April, for a feeding session with kangaroos - one of their favourite animals. The pair then sat down with the Mail for a chat about their 46 combined years of volunteering and some of the famous faces that have made their way through the sanctuary’s gates, including the late David Bowie.

Sanctuar y’s guiding light

By JESSE GRAHAM WITH 46 combined years of volunteering - and all of the stories that go with it - under their belts, Rae and Jean Church have finished up as guides at the Healesville Sanctuary.

The couple started volunteering at the sanctuary in March 1993, after finishing up as teachers around the Yarra Valley.

As Healesville residents, Rae told the Mail that they signed up for a few different reasons.

“One, because we wanted to give something back,” he said.

“Two, we loved the sanctuary, and three ... is a little bit personal - we felt we needed people in our lives.”

“We’re people-orientated after 35 years of teaching, you can’t suddenly stop and sort-of do nothing,” Jean added.

An average day would see them arrive at about 9.30am, have a cup of tea with the other guides, then head out to the front gate to pick up people who needed directions, or to run tours with groups around the venue.

But from their many different visitors, including the princess of Sweden, tennis player Steffi Graff (“she nearly walked my bloody legs off,” Rae said, with a laugh), and even David

Jean and Rae Church have retired from being Healesville Sanctuary volunteers, after 23 years of work. 152348 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Bowie, their time volunteering had been anything but average.

“He (David Bowie) was very pleasant,” Rae said.

“But the most pleasant of the group was ... the girl out of England - she was just delightful, she was organising him and everybody else.

“They had lunch down in

there, brought in by some flash company, so we had to get the food in and kick everybody else out - the security guard down there wasn’t worth his money, so I did all of the security stuff.”

Jean said there had been a “dramatic change” at the sanctuary in their time as volunteers, with new directors heading in new directions over the years.

“As soon as we get a new director in, he has different ideas that he develops,” she said.

“Our job hasn’t changed at all - we still do tours and talk to people, but, certainly, the scenery has changed and the emphasis has changed on conservation.”

The couple, who at the age of 78 have been married for 56 years, finished at the sanctuary in late March, and will be farewelled by staff later in the month.

On Friday 1 April, Rae and Jean visited the Kangaroo Island Red Kangaroos, Rae’s favourite animal, for a feeding, a pat, and plenty of photographs.

They said that, as life-members of the sanctuary, they’ll be back to visit often.

“Oh yes, we always will (visit),” Rae said.

“We always have, even before we volunteered here, and we always will, because it’s one of my favourite places.”

SES scouting for members

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE residents with spare time and a passion for helping others are being urged to put on the orange jumpsuit and join their local SES. The SES unit announced late in February that it was looking for new volunteer recruits to come on board, to bolster numbers of active and associate members ahead of a busy year.

Unit spokesperson, Maria Lastra, said that active members would assist the unit for road accident rescues, animal rescues, land searches and working to help people during emergencies, such as floods.

Associate members, meanwhile, might help with fund-raising, community education, administration or running Driver Reviver stations, or vehicle and tool maintenance.

“They can just be associate members, or people who want to help out in the office,” she said.

“Everything’s an option it’s not a forced role of any kind, it’s all what they’re comfortable with.”

Ms Lastra said the unit was made up entirely of volunteers, and that members could complete nationally accredited courses in, for things such as Undertake Land Search Rescue, Undertake Road Crash Rescue, Chainsaw Operator, Map and Navigation, among others.

“People assume we just do

An example of a recent rescue was on 16 February, when the unit was called out to rescue a sheep stuck in a dam on a property, after it was found stuck belly-up, with its snout barely above the water.

After five people tried to pull the sheep out, the crew used a four-wheel-drive winching system and harnesses to pull the animal to safety.

Other jobs can be helping to remove trees, such as one that recently fell onto the Yarra Valley Railway line, stopping the railmotor from reach-

ing the Tarrawarra Tunnel.

Ms Lastra said the unit had 30 members currently, with 20 active members - and that a goal had been set to double the number of members.

People of all ages are able to sign up, with people aged from 18 to into their eighties currently in the unit.

The unit’s active members are required to attend Monday night training sessions, to keep their skills up-to-date.

To sign up for the SES, call 5962 4452, visit www.ses.vic. gov.au/volunteer or visit the Healesville depot on Argoon Road on Monday evenings.

Cheers to Outlaws

By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Valley cheerleaders have been crowned as the best in their level, smashing the competition at the NCA All Star Cheerleading Nationals in Texas earlier this year.

From 19-21 February, Bayswater’s Outlaws All Stars competed at the American championship in Dallas along with 25,000 other cheerleaders in 1200 teams.

The Outlaws All Stars Sheriffs team consisted of 19 students, aged 12-18, and won the championship in the Level 3 Small Senior B division.

Their win, with a final score of 95.94, earned them a spot at an invite-only competition, The Summit, in Florida at the end of April.

Healesville’s Kirilly Galletti and Yarra Glen’s Lara Towning, both 14, were part of the winning team, which Kirilly’s mum, Susan Crossland, said was the first NCA All Star Cheerleading Nationals win by an Australian team.

“This is a history-breaking moment for cheerleading in Australia,” Ms Crossland said.

“It’s been a very proud moment for all of us, as parents, to see their hard

work and dedication being rewarded.”

She said Kirilly and Lara had both been doing cheerleading for five years and that the team was in the USA for two weeks all-up, with a rigorous training schedule leading up to the competition.

Now that the team has been invited to The Summit, she said the cheerleaders were training three times a week to prepare, and were excited about heading back overseas.

“She (Kirilly)’s excited, nervous... but very excited to be going back and trying again,” Ms Crossland said.

“It’s the best of the best for America.”

Ms Crossland said the cheerleaders and their families were also fund-raising for the competition, which runs from 30 April to 1 May, and had set up a crowdfunding page.

The GoFundMe page, www.gofundme.com/australiansheriffs, aims to raise $60,000 to cover the costs of travel and accommodation for the competition.

As of Wednesday 30 March, $2100 had been donated by 26 people.

Hospital facelift on track

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE Hospital is on track to re-open early next year, with works underway to redevelop and rebuild the site by early 2017.

Tradies and construction workers are currently working at the Healesville and District Hospital site on Maroondah Highway, as part of the hospital’s $8.8 million redevelopment, announced in 2013.

On Thursday 17 March, the Mail toured the construction site with Eastern Health representatives, including manager of Capital Projects, Mark Hoffman.

Nearly every room in the hospital had been cleared of its contents, with walls and roofs removed to make way for upgrades.

Work had begun to each of the pa-

tient rooms to add ensuites, with small rooms jutting out from the originals, and Mr Hoffman said this was an improvement on the communal bathroom from the old hospital site.

He said the rooms would be a mix of single and double-bed rooms, with a total of 13 - formerly, some rooms held as many as four beds.

The old entrance to the hospital, meanwhile, has been completely demolished to make way for a “one-stop shop” entrance, which will allow for easier access to the different areas, including the Yarra Valley Community Health buildings at the rear of the site.

“Where there were different services, different entrances, now it’s a onestop shop,” Mr Hoffman said.

“It’s a lot better. Services are linked ... which, I think, has been needed

over the years.

“I think the developments, for the community, the clients and patients, are a fantastic improvement.”

The old oak tree at the front of the hospital and the lemon tree at the back have been shielded from the works, with a fence erected around the latter to protect it during renovation.

CICG (Commercial Industrial Construction Grouo) is overseeing the works at the hospital, and representative, Jaco Korff, told the Mail that some local contractors were involved in the works.

Mr Hoffman said the former surgical theatre was being into a gym, while a larger “theatre complex” was being established nearby.

The new theatre in the making had a concrete slab with wooden frames, and was notably larger than the former

Honda CRV were travelling towards Healesville on Myers Creek Road.

Leading Sen Const Argus said both Mercedes tried to overtake the Honda at the same time and crashed into each other in front of the Honda, which then crashed into the back of one of the cars.

He said the Honda driver had waved to the Mercedes drivers, to warn them to back off, but the drivers had inter-

preted the wave as a signal to overtake.

“They thought she was waving them past,” he said.

“There was a bit of confusion.”

He said the drivers involved came away with minor injuries - “scratches and general soreness” - and that none were taken to hospital.

Leading Sen Const Argus said two of the cars - the Mercedes wagon and the Honda - were likely to be written

The new theatre will have six renal dialysis chairs and the new entrance as the main features of the redevelopment, which will be completed in early 2017.

off from the crash, and that no charges had been laid on any of the drivers.

“We were unable to say who was at fault - it was definitely one of the two Mercedes drivers, (but) we don’t know who went first,” he said.

“There was a reasonable straight stretch of road, there was no issue with either vehicle overtaking at that time they just both decided to do it at the same time.”

‘No more excuses’ From front page Investment in future generations would come from expanded respectful relationships education in schools.

Julia Blackburn, Yarra Valley Community Health’s Family health Promotion worker at the time, identified a culture of gender inequality as underpinning violence against women, but, in line with the commission’s recommendation, saw education as a conduit for change.

“Violence against women is preventable because it’s a behaviour, not a disease,” she told the Mail.

“It’s important to not always focus on the end result (of abuse and violence against women) but to invest in the ‘why’,” she said.

A lack of available, safe and affordable housing was another issue identified as critical to empowering women to leave a violent relationship.

The Victorian Council of Social Service said at the time that an alarming jump in family violence reflected in police statistics was exacerbated by a lack of housing options for vulnerable women and children.

Commissioner Marcia Neave says in the report that the current response to family violence largely assumes that women will leave their home when family violence occurs.

“For those who must leave, homelessness and housing systems cannot guarantee a safe place to stay, or a permanent home that is affordable,” she said.

“For those who remain at home, monitoring of the perpetrator is inadequate.”

The recommended accommodation ‘blitz’ is one of the 227 recommendations that the government has committed to.

Signing off on the 2011 campaign, the Mail spoke of the hope that it would not only raise issues that affected so many families in Yarra Ranges but “bring the issue out of the shadows and give victims a voice”.

"We hoped also for tangible outcomes," she said.

Minister for Prevention of Family Violence Fiona Richardson said on Wednesday that the Royal Commission Report “will change everything”.

“We want to create a new system that helps prevent violence and gives victims and survivors the support they need.

“We need lasting generational reform that changes attitudes and behaviours,” Ms Richardson said.

An independent Family Violence Agency will be set up to hold government to account.

The Mail will look at the report in terms of police, courts, services and housing in Yarra Ranges over the next four weeks.

The commission’s report is available at www.vic.gov.au/familyviolenceresponse

ROB BENNETT AND SONS

YOUR digestive system is arguably your most important organ and it affects your well-being in many important ways.

For example, did you know your gut influences how you cope with stress, affects your mood and determines if you are prone to allergies or frequent infections?

Over 2000 years ago Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, stated - “All disease begins in the gut”.

This truism is as relevant today.

So if wellbeing is what you desire, then looking after your gut is essential.

It’s a complex world inside your digestive system with microflora out numbering human cells 10:1.

That’s right, your body is made up of more beneficial foreign cells

than human; we are a diverse ecosystem.

These tiny microbes play an important role and help our bodies in numerous ways.

They produce vitamins that we don’t have the genes to make, break down our food to extract nutrients we need to survive, teach our immune systems how to recognise dangerous invaders and even produce helpful anti-inflammatory compounds that fight off other disease-causing microbes.

Keeping your digestion healthy can help depression and anxiety, reduce your tendencies to allergies, and infections, stabilise your weight and help you manage stress better.

The bottom line is all chronic disease will benefit from a robust a well-balanced digestive system.

It seems that Hippocrates was way ahead of his time.

If you want to be happier, enhance your immune system or have a more comfortable digestive system free from bloating and pain then look after your gut.

Here are some tips you can use to strengthen your digestion:

1. Strengthen your digestion by eating whole foods, with variety and colour. Make sure you eat a minimum of 15 different foods every day making them all colours of the rainbow will give you the best chance that you are covering most essential nutrients. Whole food is high in fibre which in the number one food source for your lower bowel and protective against bowel cancers.

Whole food should be 90 per cent of your diet. These are vegetables, whole grains, meats, fish and legumes.

2. Don’t over-eat and chew your food thoroughly. Over-eating confuses your gut and can result in things becoming sluggish. The slower you eat, the more well sated you will feel. Smaller portions as in tapas and Japanese eating styles work well. This will give your gut time to breakdown your food, extract the nutrient and pass it on to the rest of you. Remember, 80 per cent of digestion occurs in your mouth so it pays to slow down.

3. Stop harming your body by taking unnecessary antibiotics and fever medications, your GP may be

able to help you with this. The research is very clear that these can contribute to health conditions like leaky gut, intestinal dysbiosis and poor immunity. It is also a myth that self prescribed and non-therapeutic supplements these are harm free. A large review in 2009 found that up to 25 per cent of over the counter supplements and vitamins contained illegal or banned substances. If you feel you may benefit from supplementation then consult a qualified health professional who can guide you according to your needs and ensure you are not causing harm.

4. Get moving - Your digestion will improve if you exercise. This balances your nervous system and will leave your body feeling more relaxed. Your gut will digest food and absorb more effectively if you exercise.

Your digestive system is a complex, diverse and magical ecosystem that deserves to be well cared for.

Plans push to boost towns

By KATH GANNAWAY A COMMITTEE tasked with revitalising the Powelltown, Three Bridges and Gilderoy townships has released a draft plan for comment.

The Little Yarra Valley (LYV) Community Committee has been working on the project for almost two years, gathering ideas and looking at the needs and aspirations of the LYV communities.

About 500 people live in the district.

LYV committee member Vanessa McDonald said the draft had been distributed to residents and that copies would be available at the Powelltown Community Market on Sunday 10 April.

Committee members will also be there on the day to discuss the plan and ideas.

“We want to get the draft out as broadly as possible so people can look at what we have so far and make any suggestions they would

like to finalise the draft,” Ms McDonald said.

Some of the proposals include better road signage to direct people to the area, selfguided walks, including a Town Walk into History which could include interpretive signage around landmarks such as the historic church and hall and the old school.

“We are looking also at more activities such as markets, social events and more community use of the hall, as well as local community needs such as better transport options,” Ms McDonald said.

“We have school buses to the high school and to Gladysdale Primary School, but no other public transport.

“If you don’t have a car, there are not very many ways at all out this way of getting around.”

The draft plan is also available on littleyarravalleycommunity facebook, or by emailing thelittleyarravalley@gmail.com.

A walking tour of historic sites, such as Powelltown's interdenominational church, is part of the Picture: ROB CAREW draft plan. 145985

It’s confirmed: sanctuary snakes on the move HEALESVILLE Sanctuary will be downsizing its venomous snakes display to two animals, and moving them out of its Reptile House in the near future.

But Director, Glen Holland, has moved to dismiss rumours of the display closing altogether, after an online petition was launched to stop the move.

Woori Yallock man, John Marsh, recently launched an online, titled, ‘Healesville Sanctuary are removing the Venomous Snake display, we need to stop this!’

He wrote on the petition page that the display was to be removed, and said the display should grow, rather than leave the sanctuary.

“Native snakes are part of the environment, and as such should be part of the displays at the sanctuary,” the petition read.

As of Thursday, 31 March, 244 people had signed the petition, out of a goal of 500.

Healesville Sanctuary director, Glen Holland, said that venomous snakes would still be displayed at the sanctuary, with the Eastern Tiger Snake and Lowland Copperhead to be displayed at the Australian Wildlife Health Centre.

“These are the ones we see most commonly around Victoria, and want to engage our visitors to better understand how to live with them in the wild,” Mr Holland said.

Four other venomous snakes currently at the sanctuary will be rehomed to other Australian zoos, and some enclosures still in the Reptile House, where the snakes are currently housed, will be made bigger.

Mr Holland said non-venomous snakes would still be on display at the sanctuary, and said that moving the animals to the hospital would help people to understand their relationship with them.

“We see many injured venomous snakes each year at our Australian Wildlife Health Centre, and most of these injuries are caused directly or indirectly by humans,” he said.

“So it makes sense that we move our venomous snakes to the Health Centre at the sanctuary - this means out

vet staff can talk directly to our visitors about threats to venomous snake welfare in the wild.”

Mr Holland said the sanctuary was organising a new exhibit, Nightlife, focusing on nocturnal Australian mammals - the reduction in venomous snakes, he said, would give keepers more time to get the exhibit underway.

But Mr Marsh said he had a source that said the move to the hospital was not going to happen, and that all of the venomous snakes would be removed completely.

He said he thought the display should not be downsized at all.

“It’s hugely important, I think,” Mr Marsh said.

“We’ve got the deadliest snakes in

“They want to see the koalas, they want to see the kangaroos, but the snakes and the reptile life is just as important in my opinion.”

The Mail contacted the sanctuary a second time with Mr Marsh’s concerns, but Mr Holland said the rumour about closing the display was “simply not true”.

“It isn’t, and never has been, our intention,” he said.

Mr Holland said there was not a set timeline for the move to the AWHC. “Designing world-class exhibits always takes time, and we never rush anything like this,” he said.

Healesville Guardian 4 April 1936 Yarra Glen a Record Show THE Yarra Glen Annual Show held on Saturday last was one of the most successful since its inception.

The continued dry weather was reflected in the comparatively small display of fruit and vegetables.

The experiment of holding the show at the weekend was certainly justified by the extra attendance. The gate takings constituted a record and exceeded last year’s by nearly 25 pounds.

Another successful innovation was the staging of the country dog championships under the Kennel Control Club. The entries were very good for Yarra Glen’s initial year of promoting this section, the entrant including many prize-taking dogs at the leading shows in the state. Elaborate preparations were made for the judging. A miniature arena was roped off and the judging was an all-day task.

The horse and cattle sections were well up to the usual high standard, while the competition in the ring events was as keen as ever.

The skillful horsewomanship displayed by the lady riders was a feature of the various equestrian events, which kept the spectators enthralled all the afternoon.

Railway Fares The reduced railway fares between Healesville and Melbourne brought into operation in March are to be continued during April. Mr Pithie (Station Master) reports a sub-

house numbers was “a simple thing that can make such a difference� in an emergency. “We want to get to you as quickly as possible, and having your home clearly marked with a number makes a massive difference,� Mr Forder said. “Some houses don’t have letterboxes that display street numbers. It would be so helpful if those homes ensured they had their number somewhere that is easily read. “Wherever possible, send someone outside to wave us down and take us directly to where the patient is, and also lock up any pets before paramedics arrive.�

The post, with the numbers of the property, cost $30, and can be ordered by calling Bruce on 5962 5755.

Mr MacDonald said Rotarians were able to install the posts for pensioners or people living with a disability at no extra cost.

1217966-LN08-16

REMOTE and rural properties in the Yarra Valley will be easier to find for emergency services, with the Rotary Club of Healesville rolling out its initiative for reflective house numbers.

The Rotary Club is now selling reflective property number posts around town, in a push with emergency services to make more homes identifiable when disaster strikes.

Rotarian, Don MacDonald, said that samples of the posts could be seen at the Lions Den Op Shop, the Healesville Community Link, Black Spur Nursery and Healesville Stockfeeds.

He said the posts were made to order, and featured reflective house numbers that could be seen by traffic in both directions and by vehicles at night.

The Mail reported last year that the club had been approached by emergency services groups, including Ambulance Victoria and Victoria

Police, about being unable to identify unmarked properties, particularly in the less built-up areas of towns. “Being able to quickly locate property in an emergency may mean the difference between life and death,� Mr MacDonald said. “Help emergency services to help you.�

Healesville Police Leading Senior Constable, Chris Hickey, said not being able to find houses easily was “a big bugbear� for police officers. “I say to people, when I go to their address, whether it’s in a suburban street or one of our more rural addresses, ‘We had trouble finding your address’,� he said. “Police, predominantly, won’t be saving your life - but definitely the ambulance, you want them there without them driving up and down the street.�

Ambulance Victoria acting Healesville team manager, Tony Forder, said having easy-to-see

Orrs raising Warby image

By KATH GANNAWAY THE Yarra Valley did its bit for the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal with fund-raisers and doorknocks contributing to the record $17,445,624.38 total on Good Friday.

Warburton’s profile was heightened this year with a $9,035.50 contribution from the Triple100 cycle event held in February along the Warburton Trail, along with $2,777.70 from the Warburton CFA doorknock.

Hillcrest CFA volunteers were also out in force in Woori Yallock and Launching Place raising more than $3750.

Healesville and Badger Creek brigade members had their best year ever, collecting a record $18,208.30.

Mr Orr and his family put Warburton in the limelight early in the day, presenting a cheque during the Good Friday Appeal telethon and thanking all the riders and supporters who took part.

“We hope they will all be back next year to try to better their times and help us hit the $10,000 mark,” he said.

Healesville CFA Captain Graeme Bates said the brigade had been in the 16,000s before, but to reach over $18,000 was a fantastic result.

“It was an absolutely magic

Warburton CFA secretary/ treasurer Chris Nicholson said with new members they had more people doorknocking and a generous response from locals and tourists who swell the population over Easter.

“They are always very supportive of the Appeal,” he said.

Sam Livesay, who organised Hillcrest’s campaign, and whose two-year-old son, Hunter, was a patient at the children’s hospital within weeks of his birth, simply said ‘thank you’ to everyone who donated.

“Our doorknock was interrupted with a couple of fires, so we didn’t get to Don Valley, but we’ll catch up next year,” she said.

She said a highlight for members was taking the money into the Appeal headquarters.

“You don’t know how much you’ve raised and it’s great to get that total.

“People are really generous,” she said.

Rural and regional Appeal collectors raised an incredible $3,605,876 and the Yarra Valley CFA volunteers were among thousands around the state who raised a record $1,763,267.45.

Hills get cranked up

By KATH GANNAWAY THE heritage and history of the Upper Yarra was showcased on the weekend (2 and 3 April), in another successful Crank Up at the Upper Yarra Museum in Yarra Junction.

More than 1000 people visited the annual event, including lots of families, for what Upper Yarra Valley Historical Society treasurer, John Sykes, said was a very successful, family-oriented weekend.

The museum precinct with the old railway station at its heart, showcased vintage steam and stationary engines, vintage commercial vehicles, chainsaw carving, haybaling and blacksmithing.

There were demonstrations and displays by groups including VicForests and the Maroondah Gem Club, along with the excellent collections of photo-

graphs and other artefacts held by the society.

The Upper Yarra Museum is open on Wednesdays and Sundays or by appointment for tours.

It will be open also as part of the Ecotopia Festival on Sunday, 10 April, providing another opportunity to catch up on the fascinating heritage of the Upper Yarra.

Listen to your ears on hearing WITH more than half of Australians aged over 60 suffering from hearing loss, Australian Hearing encourages the local community to make hearing health a priority.

Kids getting Motor vated

By KATH GANNAWAY WE’RE all in this together, was the overwhelming message from Healesville Community Branch of Bendigo Bank, Healesville High School and Healesville Football Club in terms of safety of Healesville’s young people on the roads.

VCAL students from Healesville High School will have the chance to drive a real car and use state-of-the art simulators of part of the Bendigo Bank’s Greenlight Drivers Program which will be delivered by driver education provider Motorvation Mobile later this month through a sponsorship with the Healesville Community Bank.

Young drivers are the most at-risk group of drivers with the 16 to 25 year age group injured or killed on the roads at more than three times the rate of others.

Jennie Hill, Training Manager with Motorvation, said the program was about changing driver behaviour and attitudes.

“We do that using a range of practical driving, the simulators and discussion sessions to just make the students think more about what they’re doing when they are driving.

“We try to teach things they wouldn’t learn anywhere else.”

Healesville High Students and Under 18 footballers Lachie Mills (17) and CJ Fulford (16) are a good fit for the program.

Lachie is doing a VCAL apprenticeship with Healesville Diagnostic and CJ is also looking to work in the motor industry, hoping to get an apprenticeship in panel and spray painting.

Asked about the daunting statistics and inherent risk associated with young drivers, both say it’s not something they focus on when thinking about getting their licence.

“I’ve really only had positive thoughts about it ... I’m counting down the days,” Lachie said, but acknowledged complacency could be a risk factor.

“I’m always in and out of cars at work and the more you view something, the more you get used to it and perhaps it seems less dangerous.

“I guess that could be one of the most dangerous things,” he said.

CJ is still thinking about getting his Learners and says setting rules and not

Healesville Community Bank enlisted the support of the football club to enable the full program, including behind the wheel experience, to be delivered.

Club president, Felix Fraraccio, said the club was happy to provide the venue and support the school and the kids.

He said football clubs across the league felt the effect last year of young

people who lost their lives on the roads.

“I think last year was a wake up call to young people, and it was scary for parents too,” he said.

“Seeing so many kids at one of the funerals, visibly shaken by what had happened, was hard.

“This is a very timely course with the start of the footy season about to kick off.”

Community Bank manager, Wilma Gibson, has a child at the school and has taught two sons to drive.

“It can be a harrowing experience

because they think they already know everything.

“To have someone outside of the parents delivering messages around peer pressure, drinking and driving and the fact that they are behind the wheel of a deadly weapon, is an enormous benefit and something that as a bank we feel is a perfect fit with the aspirations of our customers, shareholders board and staff.”

Healesville High School VCAL co-ordinator, Gabby Plunkett, said the school had worked with Motorvation before and seen the results.

“As a community, young people and road deaths and injury has been a massive issue, and without relevant training it will continue to be,” she said.

“Developing more awareness and understanding of what’s around you, road conditions and what to do is critical.

Ms Plunkett said it was great to link in with other community groups such as the bank and football club.

“We all have the same interests in mind with our young people. We all care and it’s better to work together to achieve these goals.”

Here’s cheers to the valley beers

By KATH GANNAWAY SOME of the best beer and cider produced in the Yarra Valley will feature as part of the inaugural Yarra Valley Beer and Cider Festival at Lilydale on Saturday, 9 April.

The Rotary Club of Wandin is behind the move to showcase beer and cider as the number of brewers - both in the valley and further afield - grows to meet a growing appreciation and demand for fine boutique varieties.

Rotary president, Ray Barrett, said the club is working with passionate community beer and cider lovers to bring the festival to the valley.

“We have engaged this group of younger people from a wide range of expertise who have put in a great amount of skills and dedication, working alongside the Rotarians to pull together an event that we believe will be a great success,” Mr Barrett said.

He said while the Yarra Val-

Eighteen months after the Battle of Metropolis, masked vigilante Batman/Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) resolves to eliminate Superman (Henry Cavill), perceiving him as a threat to the entire human race.

THE hurt of victims of the Catholic Church’s denial and cover up of abuse has been as keenly experienced in Healesville, as it has in many places around the world.

Spotlight, a film dramatising the true story of the team of investigative journalists at The Boston Globe who exposed the extent of child abuse by Catholic clergy and the ways that it was systematically covered up over many years, will resonate with many in the Healesville community.

The film will be shown at Healesville and Warburton in April and the families of Healesville victims of clergy abuse, and others in the community, are being encouraged to see the film.

Local support group, Lookout, say members are conscious of the hurt felt widely through the town as a result of the actions of Fr David Daniel and Fr Paul Pavlou, and the Church’s response.

Spokesperson for the group, Tony Lawless, said people who have seen the film say the experience helps in the healing process.

“A great hurt for victims in Healesville has come from denial by the church, the refusal to believe victims when they have

Superman is another instance of Snyder’s style suffocating nearly everything else.

Affleck allays the naysayers with an effective, brooding performance as Batman/ Wayne.

His climactic fight with Superman is glorious, Gal Gadot has an energetic (if shoehorned-in) debut as Wonder Woman and the film’s more austere, philosophical moments, which address the consequences of superbeings acting with unchecked authority, are very engaging.

But the rest of the film is dour and unfocused. The first act is stuffed with poorlyexplained, dragging sub-plots

involving Senate hearings and Middle East skirmishes. The characters are one-dimensional with inconsistent motivations, the pacing is extremely slow and choppily-edited, and there is too much sequel-teasing at the expense of plot.

On top of being witheringly obnoxious, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), the primary antagonist, is thinly-written to the point of being redundant, serving only to create Doomsday, the lame final villain.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has some great elements interspersed amid waves of angsty emptiness.

Ian Lawther said it is a film Healesville is fortunate to have at this time.

“As one of the whistle blowers in this parish, I would encourage all parents and grandparents to watch this movie for the safety of all our children and grandchildren,” he said.

“The film describes the efforts of journalists at the Boston Globe to get the truth of clergy sexual abuse in that city out in the daylight.

“It puts our experience in perspective as part of a worldwide tragedy, and the failute of the Catholic Church to protect Children from abusive clergy,” he added.

Mr Lawless said Lookout can help anyone who needs to access suitable support agencies.

He said it is not only the individual who sufferers, but the whole family and community.

“The film ‘Spotlight’ will help the Healesville community to be open-hearted and compassionate with survivors,” he said.

Spotlight will show at The Memo in Healesville on 14, 17 and 20 April and at Warburton Art Centre on 8, 13, 15, 16 and 19 April.

Mock is no shock

By CHRIS ANDERSON THE year of the Tiger continued at the Yarra Valley Cricket Association’s recent presentation night.

After securing back-to-back premierships in the premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, Woori Yallock players picked up many individual honours.

Former captain Daniel Mock was the toast of the town, as his season of skill and consistency was rewarded with the YVCA’s highest individual honour for the most outstanding player, the THR Drummond Medal.

In an exciting count, Mock (21 votes) held off the competition’s other stellar performers Warburton-Millgrove’s David Lever (20 votes) and Healesville captain Ash Hamer (17 votes).

Mock’s consistent all-round season netted 375 runs at 125, and 25 wickets at 8.48, helping him clinch both the DJ Strachan Shield batting and bowling trophies.

Teammate Ryan Smith claimed the Harry Emerson Memorial Award for the best player of the DJ Strachan Shield Final on the back of a matchwinning half century, along with some useful overs of leg-spin.

Meanwhile, Seville’s Roger Oates was rewarded for an outstanding season, taking out the VJ Haag Medal for the best cricketer in the second-tier RA Finger trophy competition.

For many seasons, Oates has long been a consistent performer.

After leading his team to premierships, and finishing in the top few in this award over many seasons, Oates finally got his just desserts.

Coldstream captain Ben Walsh, who was consistent with both bat and ball, was recognised for his excellent season as he came in a close second.

For the junior competition, Mount Evelyn’s Alex Brisbane-Flynn was judged the season’s most outstanding performer in the YVCA, clinching the

Keith Thompson Medal.

Brisbane-Flynn’s outstanding performances crossed all competitions he competed in, taking out the YVCA Under 16s Batting Aggregate, scored an unbeaten century in the RA Finger Trophy, made his DJ Strachan Shield debut, and showed his wares on the representative stage starring in the YVCA Under 16s team during the VMCU Carnival in January.

Female star Caitlyn Parker is a cricketer going places, as she clinched the Di Day Medal as the YVCA’s most outstanding female cricketer of the season.

Caitlyn’s development has been staggering and this season among adult competition in the VWCA One Day Competition.

Caitlyn scored an impressive 262 runs, claimed 18 wickets and, to top it off, took six catches.

Jason wins the Shootout

Clubs set to take pride KINGLAKE and Yarra Glen will show their support for diversity and inclusion in sport as they battle for the third annual Pride Cup on Saturday 16 April.

The Yarra Valley Mountain District Football and Netball League match between the 2015 finalists Kinglake and the undefeated Pride Cup champions, Yarra Glen, will be played at the Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve.

Pride Cup celebrates diversity and inclusion in sport for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI).

Now in its third year, the concept recently won a VicHealth award for promoting health through sport and has inspired the St Kilda and Sydney Swans football clubs to start a national Pride Cup. Teams that participate in the Pride Cup receive diversity and inclusion training before the event by Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria, with support

from Yarra Ranges Council, AFL and Netball Victoria.

A luncheon for league coaches will further spread the message of inclusion with speakers including Victoria’s Gender and Sexuality Commissioner, Rowena Allen; and openly gay Channel Nine News presenter, Peter Hitchener.

Pride Cup organiser Jason Ball says the concept and event was important in continuing to spread the importance of diversity and inclusion at grassroots level.

“Many young people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex self-select themselves out of sports like AFL and netball because they don’t believe they are supportive or inclusive environments,” he said.

“The Pride Cup is not just a show of support for the LGBTI community.

“It is about educating our clubs, our coaches and our players about the diver-

The third Pride Cup will include numerous football and netball games, ending with the senior football match at 2.10pm and the presentation of the Pride Cup at 4.30pm.

WARBURTON GOLF TWILIGHT SHOOTOUT - After nearly six months of regular twilight competition, the 2016 Shootout came down to the top 10. Unfortunately, this became the top nine as one of the players, Gary Ward, was unable to participate on the night.

The nine who did were Lynda and Malcolm Dickson, Stan Slusarek, Ossie McClay, Shane Campbell, Gerry Hadfield, Steuart Hawke, John Hall and Jason Kennedy.

Jason was the eventual winner, landing a near-perfect tee shot on the par-3 ninth to within 2m to defeat the runner-up, John Hall.

The organisers would like to thank Jason Daly, from the House of Golf, for his invaluable sponsorship.

The club would also like to thank John Hall for running a faultless competition throughout the spring, summer and autumn. All those in-

volved are looking forward to October, when it will all start again!

WEDNESDAY Stableford - Winner on the day was Jon Cross, with 39 well-compiled points. The runner-up was Johannes Pote with 37. The balls went down to 33. The N.T.Ps went to Meredith on the 9th, John Hall on the 10th and Pat Bowd (15th).

LILYDALE Squash Club’s Courtney Scholtz has secured her first national title at the 2016 Australian Junior Squash Open in Devonport.

With five wins from five matches, Scholtz finished on top of the standings to take out the Girls Under 11s national title on the weekend of 26-27 March.

Even after her undefeated run in Tasmania, the rising star, 10, said she had to overcome nerves and tough opposition.

“It’s really exciting, I was shocked and I wasn’t expecting it,” she said.

“It was tough, there were heaps of really hard matches.

“When I was going to play my matches, I couldn’t feel my legs.

“There were a lot of people watching, so I just pretended that it was just me and my opponent ... and that helped me.”

The youngster had a large group of supporters, some of whom had travelled further than just across Bass Strait.

This included her grandparents, who were visiting from South Africa, along with her parents and her coach, Paul Price.

Price is a former British Open finalist and world No.4.

“I’ve been training with Paul for about eight months,” she said.

“We’ve been doing all the basic drills and things relating to fitness and nutrition.”

Scholtz said she had aspirations of competing at an elite senior level.

“If it ever comes into it, I’d love to play squash in the Olympics,” she said.

“But if it doesn’t, I would want to be a part of the British Open.”

Motoring Shepparding the wheels

By KATH GANNAWAY JACQUELINE and Greg Sheppard are hoping their 10th Mountain District Car and Bike Show on Sunday 10 April will push their contribution to local organisations to the $100,000 mark.

The show which annually sees crowds flock to the Don Road Sporting Complex in Healesville attracts between 500 to 800 cars and bikes.

Driven by the Sheppards’ love of wheels and people, the show has raised $85,000 for local organisations and charities to date.

Asked about the highlights, Jacqueline said it was handing over the cheques.

“It’s so rewarding just being able to give money back into the community to buy equipment that is desperately needed, but not government funded,” she said.

Groups that have benefited over the years include Healesville Hospital, Scouts and Rotary Club, Bridge Builders in Lilydale and Car26 in Monbulk.

There have also been sleeping bags for the homeless, a mattress for a boy with brittle bones disease and a vital signs monitor for the Day Oncology Unit at Lilydale last year.

For the car and bike owners, and the enthusiasts and families who come each year to enjoy the eclectic mix of hot rods, classics and customs, it’s a great day out for a good cause.

Jump ‘n’ Jive and The Infernos will be on stage, there will be free entertainment for the kids and a 10th anniversary cake around 1.30pm just before the trophy presentations.

While the year-long organisation is handled primarily by Jacqui and Greg, they rely on volunteers on the day to make the show the success it has become.

Anyone who can help out on the day, even for an hour or two, will be enthusiastically welcomed.

Phone Jacqueline or Greg on 9737 9660, 0412 938 040 or email info@classiccruzin. com.au .

Jacqueline and Greg Sheppard are the drivers behind the popular Mountain District Car and Bike Show. 143585

Late Models speedway entries from all over

By KATH GANNAWAY ALEXANDRA Speedway is gearing up for the Victorian State Championship for Late Models on Saturday 9 April.

Cars from all over Australia will be represented in the 22-strong field hoping to come away with the Healesville Directional Drilling 2016 Victorian Late Model Championship trophy.

Conducted by Late Model Racing

Victoria (LMRV), the competition will see drivers vying for valuable points in the three rounds of heats that will ultimately determine the starting position in the final.

LMRV secretary Lisa Edwards said the top eight score qualifiers for the big 30 lap feature would battle it out in a top-eight pole shuffle to determine starting positions in the final.

“The pole shuffle will put on some

“Brock, Chevy and Cameron are the youngest competitors and at 20, 19 and 17 respectively, they are out to have a crack at winning their first Victorian Championship,” Ms Edwards said.

She said the Pearson Racing Team was encouraging the locals to get behind them.

“It’s not very often Justin and Cameron get to showcase the Late Models so close to home.”

fast and close quarters racing,” Ms Edwards said.

In what is one of the most elite and professional sedan classes in speedway, she said the Victorian drivers would all be keen to have the Victoria #1 within their home state after previous winners hailed from interstate.

Eildon brothers Brock and Chevy Edwards and father and son team, Justin and Cameron Pearson from Healesville are among the contenders.

After what promises to be an exciting championship, with machines capable of reaching speeds of up to 160km on the bigger tracks such as Alexandra Speedway, LMRV is inviting fans down to the pits to meet the drivers, look over the cars and get photos of the kids in the cars.

Racing starts at 5pm. Visit www. latemodelracingvictoria.com.au for further details.
