The Upwey-Belgrave RSL Sub-Branch will continue on until at least the end of this year, after a strong show of support from the Dandenong Ranges community.

In January this year, the ‘Mail’ reported the subbranch was on the brink of closing its doors after this year’s Anzac Day services on Tuesday 25 April.

But support from local MPs Edward O’Donohue, Jason Wood and James Merlino - in addition to assistance from the Healesville RSL Sub-Branch - has shored up the immediate future of the RSL. The revamped bistro has proved a master-stroke, with the community getting right behind the initiative.

The not-for-profit entity had been battling to remain viable as an organisation.

The management was in real danger of being turned over to head body, RSL House, which could have meant an introduction of poker machines.

Sub-branch president, David Eaton, said the response had been encouraging.

“The bistro has been going great guns since opening and it’s now looking like we’ll stay open until at least the end of the year, staving off the threat of poker machines,” he said.

“The bistro has been going crazy since the story was published; we’re not out of the woods but in a much more positive spot.”

Mr Eaton said the Healesville RSL support, in particular, had been the catalyst for the turnaround, with their guidance.

He said Mr Wood, Mr Merlino and Mr O’Donohue had all personally committed

their support.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Noel Cliff, put up his hand to work behind the bar on occasion.

Earlier this year, treasurer Beth Quilty put an Anzac Day deadline on a decision for the sub-branch.

“We get more than 3000 people here on Anzac Day every year, but that can be the only day we see many,” she said.

Mr Eaton is hoping this year’s Anzac Day activities will help the recovery effort gain further momentum.

The dawn service will be conducted at 6am, with the main service at 10am.

The march will be held at 9.30am, with step-off at 9.45am at Main and Mahoney streets in Upwey.

Meanwhile, the SubBranch will be one of 285 across Victoria which is taking part in the 2017 Anzac Appeal.

Mr Eaton encouraged the community to give generously.

“Our RSL volunteers, from all walks of life, are ready to offer a variety of Anzac Appeal badges, including a special badge to commemorate the last great charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba in 1917,” he said.

“It is a wonderful time for our community to come together and pay respects to our past and present servicemen and women.”

Funds from the Anzac Appeal go to a variety of services and programs for veterans.

Anzac Appeal badges are also available at Woolworths and Officeworks.

You can also donate online at www.anzacappeal. com.au.

Union ‘calls’ ’em all

By Derek Schlennstedt The Monbulk state electorate was part of a targeted campaign that saw three marginal Labor seats in Victoria receive over 150,000 robocalls.

In a new campaign to keep the Heyfield timber mill open, voters in the electorates of Monbulk, Mordialloc, and Narre Warren received unsolicited robocalls from the CFMEU on Monday night, 10 April.

The phone calls urged residents to contact their local member and to ask them to help support the Heyfield timber mill.

Deputy Premier and Monbulk MP James Merlino was one of the three targeted by the CFMEU robocalls which told voters that the Victorian Government could save the mill by increasing its allocation of timber and that local MP James Merlino had ‘done nothing’ to help save the mill.

The robocalls, presented listeners with a pre-recorded message from a worker at the Heyfield mill who was asking residents to contact their local member, to help save his job and town.

“Our mill needs more timber supply and only the Victorian Government can fix the problem.

“So far, James Merlino, your local member has done nothing, and I mean nothing. Like so many politicians, he’s big on words and nowhere to be found when we need him.

“Please help me save my job and our town,” states the pre-recorded audio message.

Of the 150,000 calls it is alleged that around 50,000 were made to the Monbulk electorate.

Last month Australian Sustainable Hardwoods said it had to shut the mill down after the most recent timber allocation from Vic forests of 200,000 cu-

bic metres over three years was deemed too low for operation.

A spokesperson for CFMEU said that the people working at Heyfield were currently in limbo and did not know what their future held, and the campaign acted to help put pressure on the government to make a decision.

“People around Heyfield are hurting due to uncertainty around their future and their lives.”

“The purpose has been to get local voters to put pressure on MPs and the government.”

Only marginal seats were targeted with Deputy Premier James Merlino holding the Monbulk seat by five per cent.

A spokesperson for CFMEU said that issues were more likely to be raised and heard in marginal seats.

“The intention is to ensure the government hears the message, and in mar-

ginal seats the issues are more in focus and likely to be heard.”

“There’s been enough discussion and now it’s time for the government to make a decision.”

To keep the mill open would require a sustainable source of timber and suggestions have been made by the CFMEU to reduce the buffer around the lead beaters possum which would reportedly release around 10,000ha of commercial forest for logging.

A statement attributable to a spokesperson for Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford stated that the government would continue to explore options to sell the mill.

“The government believes that the Heyfield mill has a future and is continuing to engage with ASH and worker representatives to facilitate the sale of the mill to a new operator to save local jobs,” the spokesman said.

Helping to make Nathan’s Mission Possible

By Derek Schlennstedt

From left, host of the fund-raiser, Melinda Wright, Nathan Forsyth, mum Eli Collcutt and stepfather Andy Collcutt. 165944 raiser was something that we could add support to and help with and you see the result, Nathan had a great night and over 300 people attended, it was great,” he said.

Feel Good Events certainly lived up to their name and provided a feel good event with the school hall transformed into an incredible display of green.

Feel Good did all the decorations, lighting and had various backdrops to suit the theme of ‘mission possible,’ the colour green was also highlighted throughout the theme - Nathan’s favourite colour.

Mum Eli said she couldn’t thank

Feel Good enough for the work they put in and is grateful for all their help.

“Feel good were just amazing to come on board and donate their time and their services, they themed it all for us, Nathan’s favourite colour is green so they themed it with lots of green and green lights.”

They were just absolutely incredible and fantastic - I’m just so appreciative for their support.

“They went over and above,” she said.

The fundraiser was a success and raised over $15,000, which will help

to fulfil Nathan’s dream to ride a giant roller-coaster at Magic Mountain Six Flags amusement park in California.

Eli thanked everyone who donated, including Ferntree Gully Toyota who made a charitable contribution of $1000.

“From my family, we would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts,” she said.

“We now can look forward to taking Nathan on a well-deserved break to create new memories and hopefully put the last three years behind us as a distant memory.”

A 26-year-old Belgrave South man is lucky to be alive after he drove his 4WD Mitsubishi Challenger off the carriageway on Selby-Aura Road and rolled 30 metres down a hill. 167299

Lucky escape for local driver A 26-year-old Belgrave South man has careened off a 5 metre embankment and rolled his car 30 metres down a residents paddock in Menzies Creek.

The case is currently being investigated by police with the cause believed to be alcohol related.

At the start of the Easter long weekend on 13 April, at 9.30pm, a 4WD Mitsubishi Challenger has driven off the carriageway on Selby-Aura Road and rolled down an embankment into a local resident’s paddock.

Senior Sergeant Carolyn Hill at Emerald Police station said it was a miracle the man wasn’t killed.

“It was extraordinary that he wasn’t killed and that he didn’t kill anyone else.”

“It’s very disappointing that people are still risking their lives and other people’s by drink driving,” Sen Const Hill said.

Local residents heard the crash and assisted emergency services in freeing the man who was trapped in the vehicle.

It’s alleged that the man was thrown from his front seat and was found in the back seat with his leg pinned under the vehicle.

A local resident who was first on scene at the crash, helped to jack up the car in order to free the man’s leg.

Ambulance Victoria has reported that the man sustained head and leg injuries and was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition.

Five emergency service vehicles attended the scene including four CFA trucks, an ambulance and a police vehicle.

Sen Const Hill urged people to be safe when travelling home from their Easter holidays.

“Take your time, pull over and take breaks so you’re not fatigued, make sure you’re driving to the conditions and pay attention,” she said.

Feel Good Events in Ferntree Gully have helped make Berwick teen Nathan Forsyth’s Mission Possible by lending their decoration talents to help at a fundraising night.

Nathan, 15, has been battling osteosarcoma for three years and his dream to ride a giant rollercoaster is close to coming true.

First diagnosed with bone cancer in his femur and undergoing surgery to have 20cm of his growth plate removed, Nathan has since undergone more surgeries to correct the length of his leg before it was discovered the cancer had metastasized in his lungs, and he had half of one of his lungs removed.

In December last year, it was found his cancer had come back and it was then that sister Melinda, mum Eli, and Nathan’s Aunty Ibi Monaghan decided to reach out to the community to help make Nathan’s life more comfortable and grant his wish of riding a giant roller coaster.

The family held a fundraiser at Nathan’s school in Berwick on Saturday 25 March, and Feel Good events in Ferntree Gully graciously donated their time and services to help decorate and theme the school hall.

Marcus Prentice, owner of Feel Good Events said that while they receive a lot of requests from charities, they are only able to respond to a few, and that while it’s hard to choose, Nathan’s fundraiser struck a chord with him.

“As a parent, who has two teenage girls, I couldn’t imagine anything worse and really wanted to help and support the event.”

“We like to give back to the community, and help people, Nathan’s fund-

About Christmas time, I predicted Malcolm (Turnbull) would be gone by Easter.

Well, look, it hasn’t happened.

This year, Easter is close to when the Federal Budget is read; that is my excuse.

I hear today that the findings of the running of the election last year were not good.

One of the people running it has already fallen on his sword; pretty bad when they turned a 14-seat majority into one - as usual, it seems it is Labor’s fault.

I have to mention, a few weeks ago when Malcolm went into Parliament all guns firing, so to speak (well, Bill Shorten was a sycophant… on and on he went), the Coalition members were cheering, laughing and banging on the tables.

But did it do any good?

Think back to 1993 to the Paul Keating speech; John Hewson was the leader of the opposition.

Think of Julia’s misogyny speech, that shook up Tony Abbott; they are still talked about.

But, Malcolm, it soon fizzled out.

I doubt if anybody will remember the date.

Sadly, Malcolm, you promised so much and delivered very little.

Val Butler, Cockatoo.

Victoria’s justice system stands at a crossroads.

Crime on our streets, in our homes and local businesses, is rising sharply in Evelyn and across Victoria.

It is more than statistics; it is the terrible personal experiences that people share with me every day.

Everyone has the right to feel safe at home, in the workplace and in the community.

This is why I back the Liberal Nationals policy announcement to tackle violent re-offending: to introduce mandatory jail terms for criminals found guilty of a second violent offence, having been found guilty of a prior serious violent offence.

For too long, the Andrews Government has led a soft on crime approach.

Enough is enough.

Keeping our communities safe should be the number one priority for any government.

It’s time to make Victoria safe again.

Bridget Vallence, Liberal candidate for Evelyn.

THREE years on and they’re still not ‘burger-ing off’.

The No Maccas in the Hills campaigners continued their fight against the international fast food giant on Friday 7 April, the date that marks three years since their campaign started.

Despite objections, McDonald’s was allowed to build a restaurant in Tecoma in 2014 and passionate locals have continued to voice their concern.

Many still meet every Friday from 9am out the front of Tecoma McDonald’s to show their passion remains as strong as ever.

Group member Prue Licht re-

called the disappointment felt over the VCAT decision at the time.

“In 2013, the March in March was attended by thousands of hills residents who walked from the Cameo in Belgrave to Tecoma to show their objection,” she said.

“But McDonald’s ignored the clear opposition by council and the community, and applied for the cases to be decided by VCAT. “Despite hundreds of written objections, VCAT ruled the store could be built.”

Ms Licht said the campaign ultimately received international recognition and became synonymous with communities seeking the right to decide about local-level issues.

What happens to the pets?

By Derek Schlennstedt While most people associate Easter with holidays and chocolate eggs, those luxuries couldn’t be further from the minds of animal shelters around Victoria.

Many shelters will be preparing themselves to be inundated with abandoned ’Easter’ bunnies, which they are left to deal with after the cutenessfactor fades and owners realise the responsibilities of keeping a pet.

Pet stores throughout Victoria traditionally report a significant increase in the selling of domestic rabbits during the Easter period.

In the weeks and months following, many of these rabbits may find themselves at the Rabbit Run-away Orphanage in Olinda, where they will be looked after.

Though, not all will make it there, with many being abandoned.

Judi Inglis, owner of the orphanage, said that each Easter the orphanage sees an influx of rabbits.

Last year they received a call only two weeks after Easter from people wanting to get rid of their recently bought bunny.

Judi said that people need to recognise that rabbits are pets that require responsibility and that - unlike the general consensus - rabbits aren’t an ‘easy pet’.

“If you’re going to consider a rabbit as a pet, consider it as a pet and not as an Easter present or a way to placate the kids,” she said.

“Learn about the animal before purchase, find out if that animal is going to suit your lifestyle and is the best pet for your family.

“Rabbits are a prey animal and are not good with children under eight, they’re not as interactive as a dog.”

Judi Inglis at Rabbit Run-away orphanage in Olinda urges people to buy a chocolate rabbit rather than a real one this Easter.

Meanwhile, Judi is unsure if she will be able to take many of the rabbits that will be brought to them after the Easter holidays.

The Rabbit Orphanage is facing continuous vet bills for the upkeep and requirements of their rabbits.

Judi says that if they aren’t able to reach their GofundMe goal, they will be unable to continue to take rabbits.

The orphanage is the only non-kill rabbit rescue in Victoria and currently has over 150 temporary foster homes

54-58 Durham Road, Kilsyth Phone: 9728 3587 Email info@japarahouse.com.au

for their rabbits.

Vet bills are hampering the orphanage’s efforts to care for their bunnies, with some requiring treatment such as the removal of cancerous lumps, cysts, and various important dental work.

A fluffy black and white bunny called Toby required ongoing veterinary work after an abscess on his cheek began pressing on his brain, causing regular seizures.

The six-year-old rabbit required extensive surgery to remove the abscess

and then had to remain at animal emergency for four days, all of this adding to the mountain of veterinary bills.

The orphanage is completely run by volunteers, who are asking the surrounding community for donations so they can continue to accept and help rabbits that are abandoned.

Judi welcomes people to visit the orphanage over the Easter weekend, where visitors can learn about what is required to look after a bunny and meet some of the rabbits.

167234

The orphanage is open over the weekend and on Easter Monday from 1pm until 4pm.

“We are full of Easter bunnies here; so if you’re considering rabbits for Easter, then perhaps come up and make that the Easter treat instead,” Judi said.

Rabbit Run-Away Orphanage is located at 19 Stanley Street, Olinda, You can donate money to help the orphanage at https://www.gofundme. com/special-needs-rabbits-vet-bills.

Dig deep for returned soldiers The Emerald RSL Sub-Branch is calling on the community to support its efforts to raise vital funds for Australia’s heroes.

The local RSL’s annual Anzac Appeal has begun in earnest, with volunteers all geared up to sell thousands of badges across the region.

On offer will be a variety of Anzac Appeal badges, including a special badge to commemorate the last great charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba in 1917.

Emerald sub-branch president

Peter Maloney said the appeal continued to gather momentum.

“All our dedicated volunteers, often veterans, are determined to get into the community and not only sell Anzac Appeal badges, but to share their stories and experiences.

“It is a wonderful time for our community to come together and pay respects to our past and present servicemen and women.”

Meanwhile, RSL Victoria’s appeals manager Peter Smith said the

funds enabled the delivery of muchneeded assistance to those men and women who have served our country.

“Funds from the Anzac Appeal go to a variety of services and programs for veterans who need help and is tailored to their needs and circumstances,” he said.

“It can include assistance such as medical bills, emergency home repairs, food vouchers and relief from social isolation.

“Providing premium welfare ser-

vices is a top priority for RSL Victoria.”

Mr Smith said each RSL subbranch in Victoria played a vital role within their community and for many veterans.

You can purchase an Anzac Appeal badge from your local RSL sub-branch or outside the Emerald Village Newsagency.

Anzac Appeal badges are also available at Woolworths.

You can also donate online at www.anzacappeal.com.au

This Anzac Day I hope we all take the time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of so many brave Australians.

It is a day when we acknowledge the sacrifices of generations of our countrymen and women and a time when we give thanks to all those Australians who served and fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Their legacy has helped shape our national identity and should never be forgotten.

Emerald’s 21st century clinic Emerald Medical Centre celebrated the opening of its new extensions on Saturday 8 April.

It was a celebration of the multiple roles this iconic centre plays in the hills community.

Dr George Somers said: “Over the past 60 years, Emerald Medical Centre has supported the eastern half of the La Trobe federal electorate. I am grateful to Jason Wood MP for his support over the years and for helping to open the centre”.

They are proud that we can now offer an everexpanding, comprehensive list of health services to the people of Emerald and districts.

In addition to their eight GPs and four nurses, they have a large and increasing team of allied health professionals and are developing a variety of visiting medical specialists.

They invite their patients to nominate specialists that they would like them to recruit.

Emerald Medical Centre has had a long and distinguished relationship with the emergency services in the hills. They were actively involved during the Ash Wednesday fires, the fires of 1997 and Black Saturday.

They helped form the Emerald Emergency Planning Group, and are an active member and over a dozen emergency vehicles showed their support for our efforts by attending the opening.

Dr Somers thanked Commissioner Craig Lapsley, of Emergency Management Victoria, for joining the local emergency services teams and helping to open the centre.

“Our next project is to develop comprehensive and co-ordinated care management,” Dr Somers said.

“We are developing a team-based approach to health care in which your GPs and nurses work closely with a broad in-house allied health team and range of visiting specialists, managed by experienced care co-ordinators.

“We aim to deliver the health needs of our community locally, with minimum external travel and disruption to the lives of our patients and their carers.”

Cricketers named as reps

By Peter Douglas Reigning Jack Feaver Medal winner, Cameron Wheeler, heads a list of three cricketers from the Ferntree Gully District Cricket Association to win representative honours for their 2016/17 season.

The Upwey-Tecoma paceman, 21, joins fellow league talents Cody Morris and wicketkeeper Clint Buckland to be named in the Victorian Country Cricket League Region 8 (South East Country) Team of the Year.

The players were selected from the premier division within their association.

From these nominations, selectors choose a Victorian Country Team of the Year from across the state.

Wheeler enjoyed a stunning year, with the young tyro claiming 42 wickets at 11, while also chipping in with 148 runs at an average of a tick over 14 runs.

The nomination has capped off a brilliant season, during which he was the winner of the bowling average for the Reeves Shield and won the league medal by a record 10 votes, after polling in 10 out of 12 matches.

Meanwhile, neighbouring Yarra Valley Cricket Association was also heav-

ily represented in the team, with league stand-outs Simon Young, David Lever and Kane Jones also making the cut.

Lever, in particular, enjoyed an outstanding year, celebrating a premiership with Warburton-Millgrove, in addition to taking out the THR Drummond Medal, the highest individual honour in the association.

He amassed 454 runs and 49 wickets throughout the season.

Kane Jones was also included in the Yarra Valley’s ‘Team of the Year’, with the brilliant Mount Evelyn batsman widely acknowledged as one of the league’s finest.

In the representative squad, captain-coach of the premiership-winning Kooweerup, Mark Cooper, was named as skipper.

VCCL Region 8 Team of the Year 2016/17: Mark Cooper (captain) WGCA; Cody Morris FTGDCA; Daniel Warwick MPCA: Chris Brittain (vice captain) MPCA; Kane Jones YVCA; Clint Buckland (wicketkeeper) FTGDCA; David Lever YVCA; Justin Grant MPCA; Simon Young YVCA; Tom Tyrrell WGCA; Cameron Wheeler FTGDCA; Dwayne Doig WGCA.
