“I really enjoy the horticulture course at ECOSS. It’s fun,” VCAL student Britt said. “We enjoy working with Peter our teacher.”

The decision to pursue a career in children’s services has been a motivator for a number of our VCAL students to undertake Certificate III Early Childhood Education and Care qualification with Cire Training. Students have the opportunity to complete their studies and also gain practical placement experiences within Cire’s two on-site children’s centres.

“I am enjoying the early childhood course - I find it easy to learn because I like what I’m doing,” VCAL student Nicky said.

“I like learning about activities that we can do with the kids who we will be working with in the future.”

Cire Community School delivers quality education, well-being and personal development programs to our students which are hands-on, engaging and relevant. Each class is well supported, resourced and caters for students’ individual learning needs.

In partnership with Cire Training, Cire Community School offers vocational training to students completing the Cire Community School VCAL program.

Statistics have proven that vocational training in schools leads to better engagement and employment rates for those who choose not to go on to higher education after leaving school.

Cire Community School’s VCAL programs are designed to provide young people with a pathway to gain a recognised senior secondary qualification, with an emphasis on providing the support and flexibility that many students require to succeed. This year Cire Community School has strengthened the relationship with Cire Training to provide students access to quality training programs catered to their interests.

“I enjoy the practical work. Collecting seeds in the bush was really enjoyable,” VCAL student Bridgette said. “We learnt a lot about identification of native plant species.”

A partnership between Yarra Valley ECOSS, Cire Community School and Cire Training also provides students with an opportunity to complete a Certificate II in Horticulture in an authentic, hands-on learning environment. Cire students are gaining valuable skills and

Struck by the way they play

By A Parent As I walk into the kinder room at Little Yarra Steiner School, I am struck by the way in which the children play.

They are so completely absorbed in their game that they don’t even notice as I enter.

The days are getting colder and there is a wood fire burning in the corner.

I can smell the bread rolls the children have helped to make baking in the oven.

All the toys the children use are made out of natural materials - wood, cloth, stone and shells.

A cloth becomes a cape and a child becomes a king.

Another child enters, having sailed across the sea on his boat (wooden blocks stacked up on each side) and wants to enter the king’s castle ... and so the negotiations begin.

Playing is hard work.

As a parent of a young child I had been searching for a style of education in those younger years, where the nature of the young child was honoured.

A place where he could be a child and experience all the learnings that come from that.

Where playing equals learning - learning to work with and respect other people, experiencing the world of his own imagination (the beginning of creative thought) and where there was a clear structure to his daily routine.

During those younger years, I watched him flourish in this environment, growing as a confident and happy child.

My child has since moved through to the primary school, where he has had the same teacher for the last three years.

This is a relationship based on a respect that goes both ways.

There is continuing growth of understanding of how each child works, who they are and how they can be best supported through the challenges they face, as they arise.

The work that he brings home is rich and varied, and his pride in sharing all that he has learnt is moving.

Who could have thought maths could be so interesting?

It is not only my child who is being educated, but I, also am learning more about what goes on in the classroom through the termly parent teacher meetings.

As different stages emerge for him, some challenging, some wondrous, I find that these are addressed through his daily experience at school. This is an education that truly meets the needs of children as they grow and develop over time.

Looking towards the high school, I know that the foundation built in these early years will set him in good stead to springboard from into his secondary schooling.

I went to the high school information evening, where teachers spoke with such

Little Yarra Steiner School offers an education that meets the needs of children. passion for their respective subject areas.

What struck me most was that although they each taught and were very knowledgeable their individual subjects, there was a sense of unity among the staff body, where teachers were all in constant communication about students and curriculum.

The curriculum is integrated across each year level, where teachers often spoke about making classes relevant and engaging.

How does maths live in the world? Well it seems that parabolas can be found everywhere! Nothing is left out - while there is clearly a broad academic program, this is well balanced through an extensive camps program, music and the arts.

Children, and indeed, humans are not just a mind, or a body, or our emotions - we are complex beings and it is refreshing to find a style of education that truly meets the needs of a child in all ways.

When schools talk about educating the ‘whole child’ it is clear to see that Little Yarra really lives it.

Handpicked for hall honour Healesville High School is celebrating four of its music students who have been given the prestigious honour of playing to welcome guests at the annual NEVR Youth Concert at Hamer Hall.

Taylah Chipperfield, Eliza Hoiles, Amber Holland and Alec Petersen perform as a sax ensemble and they are all delighted to be given this opportunity.

The NEVR Youth Concert is an annual event that showcases the exceptional quality of musicians in north-east Victorian schools.

Being selected as a welcoming act demonstrates not only the dedication and talent of these students, but also the strength of the instrumental program at Healesville High School.

In addition to the sax ensemble’s appearance at Hamer Hall, eight other Healesville students will also play on stage as part of a joint orchestra with students from a number of other schools.

Members of staff at Healesville High School are exceptionally proud of their instrumental program which is highly regarded within the north-east region.

Under the expert guidance of Amanda Morrison, 60 students form part of the Rookie and Legends Bands.

They attend weekly lessons and band rehearsals and, as school captain, Nikita Aldridge remarks, “every person who starts music is welcomed into a warm and family-like atmosphere”.

Being part of such a program helps students to feel connected and to develop relationships with students from all year levels.

Students perform at community events, attend tours and perform in the annual Work in Progress concert and the Reach for the Stars concert.

The instrumental music program is one example of the opportunities available to students at Healesville High School.

The school says that Taylah, Eliza, Amber and Alec are fine exemplars of the dedicated and talented students who are involved in the instrumental music program.

Yarra Hills Secondary College is a multi-campus state secondary school serving the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

The college has a Year 7 to 10 Mt Evelyn Campus, as well as a Mooroolbark Campus which houses a Year 7 to 10 junior school and a Year 11 and 12 senior school on the same site. Having recently completed a redevelopment on the Mooroolbark site, with further renovations at the Mt Evelyn Campus, the college has become a preferred destination for many local families.

With a current enrolment of around 850 students, Yarra Hills Secondary College’s numbers have been rising steadily in recent years, with the 2017 year seven intake being the largest since 2003.

College Principal Darren Trippett has overseen this growth since joining the school in 2012 and considers the college now as a ‘transformational’ school.

“One of the things I noticed most when I first arrived at Yarra Hills was the lack of knowledge in the local community of the excellent programs we had in place,” Principal Trippett said.

“We are currently one of a select group of schools across Victoria to have been successfully selected in the Melbourne University UMNOS program, involving internationally ac-

Grandmother Joanne Huxley recently emailed the TAFE, thanking them for altering her granddaughter’s life.

“Please thank everyone for their help, persistence and support that made it possible for my grand-daughter to join the Reconnect program at the Lilydale Lakeside campus,” Joanne wrote.

“It has changed her life!”

Kids are catalysts for change We live with change - every moment, hour, day, year, every lifetime!

Rich and fun learning occurs at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Yarra Junction.

At St Joseph’s School, Yarra Junction the children have been striving to understand change.

They have identified the elements, types, impact and catalysts for change.

As they develop an understanding of our country’s changing history there is an appreciation that they are creating the history of the future and as such they can identify themselves as catalysts for change.

The senior children have researched the lives and events of pioneers in the colonies here.

They have turned their classrooms into the goldfields and have become the characters that succeeded or failed on the diggings.

They have grown to consider ways in which we change our home, town, country and world for better or worse.

The school takes great pride in the environment and is involved in various environmental programs including sustainability, Water Watch and National Tree Planting Day. There are approximately two working bees per term in which families work around the school grounds to keep them maintained, so parental and family involvement is very important at St Joseph’s.

The school has a vibrant visual and performing arts program, which includes a biennial production and regular performances in and outside the local community.

Teachers at St Joseph’s Yarra Junction are recognised as a strong professional learning community, and continually contribute to the rich learning environment for contemporary learning in the 21st century.

Fighter farewelled

By Kath Gannaway Hundreds of people filled the chapel at the Victoria Police Academy on the morning of Wednesday 10 May to pay tribute and farewell Sue Contarino.

A teacher at Healesville High School, who grew up in Launching Place, Sue was an amazing woman long before she made headlines as a campaigner for ovarian cancer awareness and research.

The many ways she had touched the lives of so many people was no secret among those who knew her, but the full reach of her living legacy of faith, hope and love was shared even more generously through the tributes of family, colleagues, friends and former students.

Sue died on Wednesday, 3 May, four years after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Many of those attending had supported her and walked with her on her Walk With Me campaign in February 2016 and 2017.

“She is doing this for others, to fight for others so they don’t have to go through what she has been through,” Reverend Maria BrandStarkey said.

Sue Contarino - a smile to melt hearts and make a difference. 168208

Sue’s husband, Steve Cade Contarino, father David Tanner and sister Nikki Johnson spoke bravely, sharing stories of her life growing up in Launching Place, school at Yarra Junction Primary, her passion for ballet and teaching, travels around the world, and the special relationships they shared with the woman in their lives.

David described a “serene simplicity” and spoke of her boundless passions and interests from ballet to bushwalking and her many years of teaching which he said provided her with friends everywhere.

Nikki shared childhood memories and shared experiences of joy, grief and challenge as “an epic blockbuster”.

Steve spoke of the love of his life and the courageous and loving mother of their daughter Raina Grace with tenderness, admiration and sadness.

He said she was well known for her ‘faith, hope and love’ teaching.

“She taught with love and grace through the syllabus, imparting self respect, moral courage, risk-taking, hard work and perseverance.”

Former students Caitlin and Chelsea Connell also spoke of Sue as an inspirational and rare teacher.

They said ‘Miss Tanner’ wasn’t typical, not the most prepared teacher, or the most ‘by the book’.

“It was never difficult to get her to deviate from the standard curriculum,” Chelsea said.

“Miss, can we work outside in the sun?” “Miss, can we go river walking?” “Miss, can we go liloing?”

The answer ... always “Yes”.

“Miss, can we field a hockey team?”

“But none of you play hockey!

Oh all right, it’s good to try new things.”

“For every goss sesh about who liked who, there was a talk about self-worth and self-respect.

“For every chat about girl fights there was a lesson about treating people right,” they said.

They said Ms Tanner always encouraged students to take chances and push through their comfort zone.

They thanked her for “your unwavering belief in your students”, “being the trusted teacher”, “having the hard conversations”, and “seeing the importance in setting us up for life as adults”.

Friends and family gathered at the Victoria Police Academy chapel, Glen Waverley, to farewell Sue Contarino, who was known to hundreds of students as Ms Tanner. 168208

THE RIGHT CHOICES – SECURING BETTER DAYS AHEAD This Budget is the next stage in the Coalition Government’s economic plan, building on commitments from the 2016-17 Budget and the 2016 election.

A generation of Australians has grown up without ever having known a recession, with the nation now in its 26th consecutive year of economic growth.

In recent years the growth has been hard won and not all Australians have shared in the growth. Many others remain frustrated.

Wage growth has been slow, additional hours have been hard to

come by, and small business owners have gone without to keep their businesses open and their employees in jobs.

This is putting increased pressure on Australians and their families but there are clear signs that the economy is moving towards better days.

This Budget is about making those right choices, to secure the better days ahead. And the choices we have made are clear.

A star goes out

By Peter Douglas and Kath Gannaway ‘I’ll look for you at night when the Gembrook stars are out’ posts grieving dad The Gembrook community is in mourning this week after news that the daughter of a local family, Erin Elphinstone, 27, had died in a car crash at Cockatoo.

On Wednesday 10 May, through Erin’s Facebook page, her family advised that she was missing and appealed for information.

Tragically, on Friday 12 May, police officers on foot pa-

trol discovered her car 40 metres down an embankment on the Belgrave-Gembrook Road.

Leading Senior Constable Peter Bast of Cardinia Highway Patrol confirmed the news that Erin had passed away.

Ldg Sen Const Bast said it was believed the car had clipped the side of the road about 11pm on Wednesday 10 May before overcorrecting and going over an embankment.

Erin was the sole occupant of the vehicle and police said she died at the scene.

The family later posted the news on her Facebook page,

with the family asking for “privacy at this time�, but thanking friends and family for their “kind words and prayers�. “It was clear that Erin had amazing friends and was dearly loved. We will miss her,� the post concluded.

Erin’s father, Garry, later posted a small tribute to his daughter on his own Facebook page. “RIP beautiful and adventurous Erin Elphinstone. You’ll leave a hole in so many lives but none bigger than mine. My little Ezza, gone too soon. I’ll look for you at night when the Gem-

brook stars are out. I’ll love and miss you forever,� the post read.

Erin, a student at Swinburne University, had also been a model with V8 Supercars.

She had dined out in the city on Wednesday night with her best friend and a fellow model.

Erin’s family expected her to be home about 10pm, but grew worried after she failed to arrive and was not answering her phone.

Police had searched the area on Thursday 11 May but had initially failed to locate her vehicle because it was under thick bush.

Briefly Copper theft A 38-year-old Millgrove man has been arrested on 11 May 2017 in relation to the theft of copper from Millgrove.

On 5 May, 2017 at 1am, CCTV at the Yarra Ranges Transfer Station captured two males suspected in the theft of copper from the station.

Police are still investigating the theft of copper wire to identify the second male. As a result of the CCTV footage being posted on the Facebook-Yarra Ranges Eyewatch, a member of the public contacted the police and provided the name of a possible suspect which led to a search warrant and the arrest of the offender.

The man will face Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Inquiries are still being made in relation to the identity of the second male and anyone with information is asked to contact Warburton police on 5966 2006.

Police from the Eastern Region Crime Unit recently made arrests in conjunction with a spate of burglaries throughout the Yarra Ranges including the Yarra Centre and Travel Junction in Yarra Junction in April, and the Sky High in Mount Dandenong in March.

Detective Sergeant Mick Duke from Yarra Ranges Criminal Investigation Unit (CIU) said a 34-year-old Berwick man was remanded in custody in relation to 18 commercial burglary charges.

A 23-year-old Endeavour Hills man and a 25-year-old Broadmeadows man also face 18 charges, and were bailed.

Police are looking for a fourth male in relation to the same burglaries.

The four are believed to be responsible for a series of burglaries at larger commercial businesses and at Gardiners Run Golf Course in Lilydale and golf courses in other municipalities.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Lilydale CIU on 9739 2401, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au .

recent weeks.

Three properties on Don Road were hit overnight on Tuesday 9 May, with a wallet, an iPod and jewellery among the items stolen.

The same household was targeted a couple of days later with the thieves returning to rifle through two cars on the property.

Most of the thefts have occurred along Badger Creek and Don Roads and in nearby Newgrove Road with police saying the offenders are targeting unlocked vehicles and tools in utility trays.

Police say it is possible the actual number of offences could be higher with some people not contacting police and others phoning in but not wanting to follow through with an official report.

Detective Sergeant Mick Duke from Yarra Ranges Criminal Investigation Unit (CIU) said the high incidence of theft was disturbing but also issued a word of advice cautioning people to stop making it easy for thieves. “Don’t invite the crooks to steal from you,� he said.

He said with opportunistic thefts such as those in Healesville, the offenders would steal from a car or shed if they found it unlocked. “Most times, they’ll go elsewhere if they find vehicles or buildings locked,� he said. “If you have gates, lock them; if you have locks on your doors, lock them; if you have car locks, lock them.�

Leading Senior Constables Don Taylor and Rina Smit from the Yarra Ranges Crime Desk were in Healesville on Thursday gathering evidence from one of the Don Road crime scenes.

Leading Sen Const Taylor reiterated the ‘lock it’ warning, but also urged parents to be more aware of what their kids are doing. “If they’re going out late at night, check on where they are and what they’re doing. “It’s not always easy, but working out what your kids are doing and getting it sorted early is the best outcome,� he said.

In what police say are unrelated burglaries, thieves broke into three businesses and attempted to break into another in Yarra Glen on Monday, 8 May. A bakery and cafe at the Yarra Glen shopping complex and a bakery in Bell Street were broken into between 10pm and 11pm with the offender targeting cash registers.

An attempt on another main street cafe was unsuccessful.

A potentially life-saving correction; in our story “Rotary Saving Lives” on 2 May, we said that $10 for a Bowelscan testing kit was cheap life insurance. Well, it should have been $15 ... but that’s still good odds when you’re talking early detection of bowel cancer. Bowelscan testing kits are available from pharmacies across Yarra Ranges during May.

Letters Powering Men's Shed I don’t know all the details behind the proposal to close the Men’s Shed in the business incubator at Warburton, but I can’t help thinking that keeping the incubator open would be a far better use of Bendigo Bank’s money than funding a hydro project.

Men’s Sheds are a valuable community resource, providing support and companionship for men who might otherwise be isolated and lonely, while at the same time helping to repair and recycle goods that might otherwise be thrown away.

Moreover, the incubator provides accommodation for small businesses trying to get established, and is a meeting place for various community groups. Such organisations are part of the ‘glue’ that holds communities together.

On the other hand, the hydro project is a futile, feel-good gesture.

It will do nothing to foster community cohesion.

It will not be a ‘model’ for other communities to follow, since very few have suitable terrain and permanent, fast-flowing creeks.

It will not close one power station.

It will do nothing to reduce Victoria’s dependence on coal-fired electricity.

Indeed, with the proposed changes to the feed-in tariff it appears that it won’t even generate a return that’s much better than a bank deposit, by the time taxes, charges, maintenance and running costs are factored in; that is, assuming the scheme is eligible for the tariff.

If the bank really wants to help Warburton, I would like to see it buy the incubator and keep the Men’s Shed open.

Come on Bendigo Bank, how about it?

Janet Sowden, Wesburn.

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO BE GREAT.

BEING GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO IS ONLY A GOOD START IN BUSINESS. THE NEXT STEP IS CONVINCING CUSTOMERS. Too many small businesses lack sales because their marketing lacks impact.

YARRA RANGES

I note that The Mail continues to receive amusing communications from Mr Ray Donkin regarding his various hobby horses. In the latest (2 May) he railed against a speech by Doseena Fergie on acceptance of her Australia Day award.

He was right onto one of his favourite topics 'the Aboriginal problem’, as his grandmother no doubt used to say. Clearly Ray has real trouble in reading history - and even more trouble in understanding it.

With his usual blithe assurance he dismisses several thousand years of human history and takes the year 1788 as the beginning of civilisation in this land of ours. He suggests that his reasoning is simple. With this statement one must agree - his reasoning is so simple as to be absurd and his approach to the question he raises is truly hilarious. He considers that 'the Aboriginal people should appreciate the fact that the English landed and were the first to claim sovereignty’. He takes it for granted that 'invasion’ was a natural expectation and that the Aboriginal people have done well out of the situation in which they found themselves.

He asks Doseena if she would have preferred to have been invaded by the Dutch, the Spanish or the French!

Perhaps Ray might be prepared to answer a similar question. Would he prefer to have his home invaded by the Bandidos, the Comancheros or some other bikie gang? Say why and how you would respond. To make things a bit easier we could have multi-choice answers like: a) None of the above (Correct); b) They are dangerous and I would fight them (Bad strategy); or c) This is a very silly question (Correct).

Might one suggest that Ray widens the scope of his reading and takes some lessons in logic.

Budget big on capital works

By Peter Douglas

Yarra Ranges Council Youth Leadership and Engagement officer Maria McLoughlin and Community Development trainee, Shenae Voce take part in the H30 challenge. 168140

Say ‘no’ to sugary drinks Yarra Ranges Council is urging residents to trade in the sugary drinks for water.

Residents of all ages are being asked to take on a month without sugary drinks as part of VicHealth’s H30 challenge.

The challenge invites people to sign up at h30challenge.com. au/lga/yarraranges and nominate a 30-day period where they will pledge to drink water instead of sugary drinks, soft drinks, sports drinks or fruit juices.

Yarra Ranges Council received a VicHealth grant to promote the H30 Challenge to residents and visitors, and will be placing promotional materials in Community Links and council buildings across the municipality.

VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter welcomed council’s involvement in the H30 Challenge, and said swapping sugary drinks for water could reduce the risk of weight gain, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

“The H30 Challenge costs nothing and could make a big impact on your life,” she said.

“A regular 600ml bottle of soft drink contains about 16 teaspoons of sugar and there are around 11 teaspoons of sugar in a sports drink.

“You wouldn’t put this much sugar in your morning coffee yet many people are unknowingly consuming such high amounts on a daily basis.

“With nearly two-thirds of Victorians currently overweight or obese, reducing intake of excess kilojoules through sugary

drinks is one way to promote a healthier diet and improve health, prevent tooth decay and save money.”

The World Health Organisation recommends daily intake of sugar to be less than 10 per cent of daily energy intake about 50 grams or 12 teaspoons.

Flavoured water is discouraged as part of the challenge, with some 500ml vitamin drinks containing up to six teaspoons of sugar.

Residents signing up can collect a free H30 water bottle at Community Links in Healesville, Monbulk and Yarra Junction.

“We’re kind of going back to first principals and starting to rebuild and redesign the way we provide our services,” he said.

Corporate services director Troy Edwards said this year’s draft budget had taken into consideration some 3000 responses from community consultation.

“From school kids to older residents, they’ve been providing feedback about what they saw as the value of the Yarra Ranges,” he said.

“We see that on the Council Plan - things like playgrounds for parks, footpaths, drains ... those flavours came out in the capital program as well.”

Mayor Noel Cliff said the new Council Plan and draft budget were produced with the community in mind, in line with a recently developed Vision and Values Statement.

“We gathered almost 3000 responses from community members and used their feedback to make a statement that recognises the importance of community connections, vibrant culture, accessible services and protecting the natural environment,” he said.

The draft budget was released to the community for consultation on Thursday 11 May, with the consultation period ending Thursday 8 June.

Yarra Ranges Council has unleashed the largest capital works program this council has ever delivered, according to chief executive officer, Glenn Patterson.

In what promises to be a boon for the region, a $57.54 million capital works commitment, with $11.2 million carried forward from the 2016/17 financial year, is being billed as one that will maintain and improve the region’s world-class open spaces.

In unveiling the 2017/18 draft Budget, along with the Council Plan and Long Term Financial Plan, Mr Patterson said this year’s editions balanced the demands of operating in a rate-capped environment, with the need to deliver a strong capital works program.

Among the major projects set for a boost include the Belgrave Multi-Purpose Health Hub ($1.5 million), a new playground in Queens Park in Healesville ($306,000) and $4.4 million for the first stages of the $28 million civic centre redevelopment.

Mr Patterson told the ‘Mail’ he believed the draft budget was not only exciting for the region, but was fiscally responsible.

“When it comes to our longterm financial indicators ...

we’ve got a setting in the Financial Plan to make sure that’s in the low-risk category,” he said.

“Even with taking on the office redevelopment project and other major projects, it still stays in the low-risk category and I think that’s really important.

“Delivered in full, this will be the largest capital works program this council has delivered; and that increases in the following year, and starts to back off after that.”

Mr Patterson said the draft budget had been created around operating within a rate cap of two per cent.

“We do that in a number of ways - we manage our labour costs very closely and we’ve conducted an in-depth service review,” he said.

“We’ve chopped out over $1 million in direct costs over the last 12 months from service reviews.

“Sometimes we look at different options, so it might be us continuing to provide the service, but just using better technology, or better processes.

“Sometimes it’s about partnering with others, or outsourcing.”

Mr Patterson cited examples such as council moving away from directly providing family and youth counselling services, and family day care services.

Medals galore at CFA AGM

By Kath Gannaway The Country Fire Authority (CFA) recognised the contribution of Yarra Junction CFA’s volunteers at the brigade’s AGM on 19 April.

Eight members received CFA service awards in recognition of the time and dedication they have dedicated to the CFA and to the Yarra Junction community with that contribution ranging from five years to 55 years’ service.

Yarra Junction Captain Kate Lamb proudly introduced her members to District 13 Operations manager David Renkin who presented the medals and certificates, and to Operations officer Colin Brown.

The recipients were Frank Colverson - 55 year medal; Barry Teklenburg - 35 year medal; Catherine Branson and Jason Duck - 20 year medals; Justin Hall - 15 year medal; Alex Maurici - 10 year medal and Steve Spoor - 5 year certificate.

District 13 Operations Officer Colin Brown, Captain Kate Lamb, Firefighter Justin Hall, 4th Lieutenant Jason Duck, 1st Lieutenant Barry Teklenburg, Member Catherine Branson, Firefighter Frank Colverson, Communications coordinator Alex Maurici, 3rd Lieutenant Steve Spoor, Community Safety co-ordinator Ted Shalders, District 13 Operations manager Dave Renkin.

Coaching to run that business prudently

I play the pokies a fair bit, but it’s not really a habit.

Yet ...

Great businesses are forged during tough times.

That’s the opinion of Star News Group Business Excellence Seminar guest speaker and national business commentator Damian Morgan.

Mr Morgan will exchange ideas with some of Cardinia, Casey and Greater Dandenong business leaders during a series of free seminars he will be holding across the region in June.

He will host seminars in Dandenong (Tuesday 20 June), Pakenham (Thursday 22 June) and Narre Warren (Friday 23 June).

While he has a positive attitude to business success during economic slumps, Mr Morgan isn’t afraid to be blunt when giving advice.

“The truth is there are some boom-time businesses that will only work in a boom,“ he said.

“Great businesses that are well planned and developed are sustainable - they can thrive in any conditions.“ Mr Morgan is a former creative writer and business journalist with an MBA, and is also a regular media commentator.

He has a passion for helping small and medium-sized businesses grow.

“I am a small business owner myself,“ he said.

“My great passion is helping small businesses beat corporate - we are generally better.“ One pitfall for many small business owners was a lack of self -promotion, Mr Morgan said.

“So many small businesses are very good at what they do, but they don’t make the profit they should make because, in many cases, they don’t promote themselves well,“ he said.

“It’s one of the things corporate (businesses) do really well. Small businesses are typically better. We care more, but we are often the best kept secrets in town.“ All 50-minute sessions are free with various seminar times available. Bookings are essential.

On Saturday 6 May, Yarra Glen CFA travelled to Trida Fire Brigade Station in Gippsland to drop off a truckload of donations from the Yarra Glen community to assist dairy farmers with living expenses.

The ‘food for farmers’ collection was launched in February by the Yarra Glen CFA and was aimed at donating items and food to dairy farmers in Gippsland, who had been affected by the closure of National Dairy Products in November last year.

Donating hundreds of nonperishable foodstuffs and toiletries, and dry food for their pets, the Yarra Glen community rose to the challenge.

Louise Higgins, community safety co-ordinator for Yarra Glen CFA said it was an incredible turn-out of donations and thanked the community for their help.

“Local bakeries took in donations, the pre-school took in donations, the community really pulled together to donate and help another community.”

She hoped that the donations would help farmers who had been affected by the low pricing of milk.

“Just giving them a bit of a helping hand - living is not cheap, especially if you have a

57 ACRES WITH VIEWS THIS special and uniquely different home sitting high on a hill to take in breathtaking views - is a fusion of a contemporary and modern exterior melded with a beautiful interior featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, timber walls and large windows which create a warm and comfortable feel and the sense of bringing the outside in.

Also capturing the stunning outlook are recent additions to the east and west of the home which provide a fabulous entertainment area at the rear (7m x 4m approx) and a four-car carport to the front which might offer potential for an area that could be enclosed to create more bedrooms or living space if required, subject to approvals.

Additional features such as double-glazed windows, insulation, a wood heater, a reverse-cycle split-system, a bathroom with an ensuite effect to the main bedroom, a

powder room with second toilet, external roller shutters on some windows - plus a sunroom allowing extra light to flow through - all combine to make this home a wonderful country retreat for permanent or occasional living.

Town water, tank water, three dams and a seasonal watercourse are such an asset to this rural property which is almost all pasture and ideal for a mixture of grazing and hay cutting. Shedding is always important so having two sheds of about 6m x 9m and 9m x 11m offers scope to store machinery and other treasures. With outcrops of majestic granite boulders scattered throughout the 23.28ha property, wildlife that visits regularly and Buxton Peak as a backdrop, this spectacular property is only just a few minutes drive to Buxton township.

The Proposed Healesville Mandarin Tourism Project on approx 101 acres.

Once upon a time a visionary sourced this prime piece of property situated at the gateway to the town of Healesville in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Concept plans were prepared and the approx 101 acres of land rezoned to Special Use Zone Schedule 2 to encourage the development of a tourist precinct. The original concept plans allowed for hotel/motel accommodation and self contained villas, convention facilities including meeting rooms, restaurant and chapel, Chinese landscaped gardens and associated facilities including shops and car parking. The picturesque land has sweeping views to nearby mountain ranges, a large dam, cleared and undulating paddocks. Conveniently located with 2 road frontages, handy to township, wineries and Healesville Sanctuary.

They’ve got plenty to show

By Derek Schlennstedt The 'Fashion and Funk Parade’ is taking place this Saturday, 20 May, and much like its name suggests, is sure to provide a marvellous array of fashion with plenty of funk to go with it.

The parade is raising funds for the Healesville SES and Healesville Living and Learning Centre, and the East End Op Shop will be donating their services to dress the models.

The fabulous models will be joined by members of the SES and will be strutting their stuff, while rocking to music.

The East End Op Shop, over three decades old, has supported Healesville living and learning centre by holding various fund-raising events in past, but this year is the first time a fashion parade has been run.

Dianne Anderson, who helped organise the event said that all donations would be going towards the SES and Healesville Living and Learning centre, both iconic organisations in Healesville.

“Both the Healesville living and learning centre and the SES are icons of Healesville and deserve all the support they can get,” she said.

“They are two brilliant organisations who do so much for the Healesville community and we need to get behind them.”

A true for the community, by the community fashion parade, all seven models including a young fouryear-old model, who will be accompanied by her mother, are from the Healesville area.

“It’s for the locals, we are a local op shop, it’s the local SES, there’s local models, and it’s the local living and learning centre, who are volun-

teering their time to raise funds for an amazing cause,” said Dianne.

Each model will be dressed in the finest clothing from East End Op Shop, which will also be available to purchase on the day.

An interactive show that’s sure to delight, audiences will be treated to an unforgettable afternoon filled with prizes, fashion, and a delicious afternoon tea with gourmet food.

“Come along to have a good laugh, there’s delicious gourmet food, a bit of pizzazz, some generous prizes from Healesville retailers, and the clothes from East End Op Shop can be bought for very reasonable prices,” Dianne said.

The event takes place on Saturday, 20 May at the Healesville senior citizens' hall.

Tickets are $20 and can be bought by calling 5962 5982.

Models Melanye Searle, Roger Treen and Rosemary Franklin will strut their stuff at the Fashion and Funk Parade on Saturday. 168282 Picture: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT

They’re all bad girls Easiest morning tea ever

By Kath Gannaway

By Kath Gannaway Presenting the Victorian premiere of ‘Bad Girls - The Musical’ was always going to be a challenge, but for director, Rain Jones, and the Catprint cast and crew, it’s a challenge they’ve met head-on.

The musical adaptation of the British award-winning television drama is set in an English prison and tells the story of the battle between the new and the old guard - literally.

It follows the love story between inmates Helen and Nikki, the prison hierarchy and has a made-for-musical riot scene.

“It’s a 15-plus show with a bit of everything,” Rain said just a week out from the opening performance at The Memo in Healesville on Saturday, 20 May. “It has drama, music, lots of humour ... it’s a bit of a reality check, a bit of a shock, it raises issues ... it’s a mixed bag and some of the content may be quite challenging if people have had to deal with similar issues,” she said.

For the cast which ranges from 21 to 70-something, and

Bad Girls (and boys) (from left) Robert Trott (governor), Rosemarie Griggs (prisoner), Siobhan Hedderman (prisoner), Susan Casey (guard), Jordana Hurrell (Prisoner), Peta McMillan Kelly (prisoner), Rain Jones (director) and Claire Bamford (producer). 168071 Picture: ROB CAREW the crew, including producer Claire Bamford and choreographer Julie Wright, the show is an opportunity to explore and hone the great range of talents and present a show which has substance, humour and fun.

Bad Girls - The Musical is presented by Catprint, Warburton Theatre Productions

and Valley Productions at The Memo on 20 and 21 May and at Warburton Arts Centre on 27 and 28 May. To book visit www.culturetracks.info or call into the venues.

Chest-bursting with admiration

Thu 18 May - Wed 24 May

The Memo, Healesville

It’s never been easier for Healesvillians, and visitors, to take part in the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser.

Healesville Lions Club members are continuing their four-year tradition of holding an ‘all-day’ tea at the Lions Den Op Shop in the main street on Thursday, 25 May, but for those who can’t take time away from their shop or office, they also do a Devonshire tea and muffin run.

Jan Oakley and Lynn Kohler play a major role in the event knitting hats, beanies and tea cosies, and mounting the window displays that feature the best of tea-related items that come into the shop during the year.

Jan said she and Lynn, along with everyone involved, had at some point in their lives lost someone special to them to cancer and that all their volunteers got involved on the day.

“It’s an event that has grown every year and gets better every year,” Jan said.

Dining in the Den is from 10am with sandwiches, scones,

This may be a controversial verdict, but Alien Covenant may be the best film in the Alien franchise.

Serving as a sequel to Ridley Scott’s lacklustre 2012 film Prometheus, Alien: Covenant follows a crew of astronauts on a long colonisation mission in deep space.

When they find a world seemingly ideal for settlement, their detour instead becomes a fight for survival against deadly organisms.

With Life, Get Out, Julie

Ducournau’s Raw and now this, 2017 has been a really good year so far for gripping, well-paced horror films.

Covenant has engaging, very believable characters, whom the first act spends much of its time acquainting us with.

Upon their arrival on the new planet, the lush yet murky atmosphere (with sprinklings of Gothic horror) draws you in further, and the dire helplessness of their situation escalates steadily and rationally until the grisly carnage bursts forth.

Covenant provides some fascinating insight into the origins of the xenomorph,

Swiss artist H.R. Giger’s iconic monster from Scott’s 1979 original Alien film, and the narrative has some mindblowing twists.

Katherine Waterston is a sensitive yet bold heroine, and Michael Fassbender delivers an engrossing double-act as Walter, the dutiful android aboard the Covenant vessel, and David, the unhinged android 'survivor’ of the Prometheus mission.

Blending Alien’s oppressive eeriness with Aliens’s action flair, Alien Covenant is a shockingly good instalment with great characters and superb suspense.

Yarra Ranges in top form

By Cameron Hutchison The Yarra Ranges hosted Gippsland at the Woori Yallock Football Ground on Saturday.

The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and a great crowd was in attendance to witness some high standards in football and netball. The AFL Yarra Ranges were coming up against a formidable foe in the Gippsland League who had defeated them twice in the past five years.

The AFL Yarra Ranges put in a good performance last year and were looking to improve on that again this year; and with coach Danny Ryan assembling the best players from the competition, the signs were promising.

Brett Fisher had control of the Under 18s boys who were pumped, primed and ready to go.

While Sarah Hogan and Rachael Hickey took the netball coaching reins once again, with new-look AFL Yarra Ranges netball teams.

This year, unfortunately, the Open side lost their first game since netball has been included in

the Community Championships.

But both the Under 17s and Open teams look to make amends in the Netball Association Championships in June.

With the senior footballers prevailing, next year is looking like a road trip to Bendigo.

SENIORS FOOTBALL Yarra Ranges 16.15(111) d Gippsland League 6.15(51) What a day for football and today was the day that the AFL Yarra Ranges needed to step up and make a mark on their future in the Worksafe Community Championships. Over the past years, they have seesawed in and around the 10th to 14th position on the rankings and desperately needed a win against a big scalp.

Ben Monkhorst got the day off to a great start kicking the first goal within a minute. There were five other goalkickers in the first quarter: Nathan O’Keefe, Marcus Hottes, Matt Polkinghorne, Scott Dwyer and Charles Warren. Gippsland could only manage two for the quarter because of the great work in the defensive line of Kelsie Currie, Jack No-

INVITATION TO ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

UPPER YARRA VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

lan, Michael Batten and Bradley Harvey. Yarra had a handy lead of 22 points at quarter time and were well and truly in the driver’s seat. A 4.6 to 1.3 second quarter saw the Yarra Ranges extend their lead at the main break to 43 points and the half-time score could have been a lot bigger but for accuracy.

Danny Ryan went into the break with nothing but praise for his charges. Dwyer, Smith, Savage and Busoli were the goal kickers in the second. Yarra Ranges never really gave Gippsland a look in as their run-and-carry players were exceptional on the day and the three-quarter time break had been extended to 45 points with the aid of goals form Monkhorst, Davies and Adams.

The final quarter and Gippsland were held to only one goal, mainly due again to the backline of Yarra Ranges and it was impressive to watch. Another three goals to O’Keefe, Smith and Polkinghorne and the final margin was 60 points and the biggest win in AFL Yarra Ranges/YVMDFNL history had been achieved.

(The Upper Yarra Valley Historical Society manages the Upper Yarra Museum, promotes Upper Yarra history, conducts research, organises school groups and welcomes tours and visitors.)

THURSDAY, May 25 7.30 pm Yarra Junction Fire Station Community Room 37 Yarra St Yarra Junction GUEST SPEAKER: Anthony McAleer, Secretary, Mt.Evelyn RSL, Military Historian, author (including ‘Monash’s Militia Camp’, ‘A Stretcher Bearer’s War’ as well as the stories of local heroes, George Ingram VC, MM and Bill Scurry DCM,MC).

Topic - Bill Scurry - The Man Who Got Them Safely off Gallipoli On December 8th, 1915 there were 38,500 Australian troops occupying trenches on Gallipoli, facing a larger Turkish force of some 80,000. Twelve days later they had all been evacuated from the Peninsula without the loss of a man and without the enemy knowing. How they did this was helped in no small way by an ingenious invention created by twenty year old Lance-Corporal Bill Scurry, a self-firing rifle with a primitive timer that would convince the Turkish soldiers that the Anzacs were still in their trenches shooting at them when in fact they had long gone. But this is only a small part of the fascinating story of Bill Scurry, who later came to live in the Yarra Valley as a soldier settler.

The AGM will be followed by supper and a meeting of the new Committee.

Gippsland kicked three and took a small lead of three points into quarter time. Yarra Ranges outscored Gippsland in the second, with goals from Billy Batten and Bradley Pepi and it was game on as scores were all tied up at the main break 29 points a-piece. Yarra Ranges came out and looked a bit slow in the third and let Gippsland get the jump on them, kicking 5.3 to 1.2 and that one goal came from Braden Wood. Gippsland had a lead of 25 points going into the last quarter and it was going to be hard to chase down as the momentum had certainly swung their way.

Gippsland were brilliant in the last, kicking 3.1 to 5 behinds as they denied Yarra Ranges any chance of getting their hands on the ball and in the end, came away with a very convincing win by 39 points.

Yarra Ranges Goal Kickers: Billy Batten (Mt Evelyn - 1 goal),

Luke Inaps (Mount Evelyn - 1 goal), Bradley Pepi (Emerald - 1 goal), Braden Wood (Emerald - 1 goal), Mitchell Leeds (Warburton Millgrove - 1 goal).

NETBALL OPEN Gippsland League 69 d Yarra Ranges 42 Yarra Ranges were defending an undefeated record in the Community Championships and would have gone into this year’s game as favourites. The first quarter started as everyone would have expected, fast and a goal feast. Lauren Bennet (Belgrave) shot nine goals in the first, Tess Linkins (Olinda FC) shot five, but Gippsland defenders in Courtney Garth (Morwell) and Allison Petrou (Traralgon) made it tough for them. Gippsland goallers had the height advantage and shot 15 to take a lead of one goal at quarter time. The second quarter saw much of the same, fast ball movement and intercepts were the order of the day.

Tess Linkins took the lead in the second, shooting 11 goals while Ramayer Gourley (Traralgon) shot 10 for Gippsland and they increased their lead to 2 goals at the main break. Gippsland came out inspired in the third and really had Yarra’s defenders under enormous pressure as they shot 20 goals to eight to take a commanding lead into the last. Yarra just had nothing to answer the dominance of Gippsland in the last as they piled on another 20 goals to seven to come away with a big win by 27 goals.

Yarra Ranges Goal Shooters: Tess Linkins (Olinda FC - 22 goals), Lauren Bennett (Belgrave - 17 goals), Peri Stewart (Olinda FC - 2 goals).

Yarra Ranges Best: Krista Tomlinson (Olinda FC - AFL VIC Best on Court Medal), Alana Osborne (Olinda FC), Tess Linkins (Olinda FC).

Gippsland Goal Shooters: Ramayer Gourley (Traralgon - 41 goals), Stacie Gardiner (Drouin - 28 goals).

Gippsland Best: Stacey O’Brien (Traralgon - AFL VIC Best on Court Medal), Courtney Garth (Morwell), Kym Diston (Drouin).

17 AND UNDER Gippsland 30 d Yarra Ranges 18 Yarra Ranges Under 17 team was a chance for the young talent of the Valley to play in a competition that has the best players in the state. The game started out with an even encounter with both sides making mistakes and missing shots on goal. Gippsland was held together under the ring

by Chelsea Livingstone (Traralgon) who shot the entire score for them in the first, while Sophie Hennessey (Wandin) was the main target for the Yarra Ranges.

Gippsland took a slim two-goal lead into the first break. Leyla Berry (Maffra) shot five in the second while Madeline Hargrave (Woori Yallock) shot three, but the lead had extended to four goals at half-time.

The game was in the balance but Gippsland came out and played a tight defensive third term, shooting nine goals to two.

Their defenders in Emmerson Connolly (Maffra), April Bethune (Drouin), Lily Van Berkel (Traralgon) and their centre Emma Allman (Maffra) were everywhere. Mia Sudomirski (Woori Yallock) was tight in defence all day with the assistance of Bethany Cross (Wandin).

The lead had blown out to 11 goals at three-quarter time and it was going to take a supercharged effort to claw that back. The last quarter was tight all round and Yarra Ranges could not make any inroads to the Gippsland lead and ended up going down by 12 goals.

Yarra Ranges Goal Shooters: Sophie Hennessy (Wandin - 9 goals), Madeline Hargrave (Woori Yallock - 8 goals), Nikki Watts (Yea - 1 goal) Yarra Ranges Best: Mia Sudomirski (Woori Yallock - AFL VIC Best on Court Medal), Bethany Cross (Wandin), Madison Rouget (Wandin).

Gippsland Goal Shooters: Leyla Berry (Maffra - 11 goals), Renee Barry (Bairnsdale - 10 goals), Traxareq Hanratty (Traralgon - 9 goals) Gippsland Best: April Bethune (Drouin - AFL VIC Best on Court Medal), Emmerson Connolley (Maffra), Emma Allman (Maffra).

Banking on a golden shot

By John Wood Each year in April, the Woods Point Gun Club recognises the wonderful support of the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank Branches by holding the Community Bank Gold Cup competitions.

With an excellent turnout, this was definitely a shoot to remember.

The fun started with the Single Barrel Eye Opener where Phillip Desmond - AA, 10/10, Trevor Ewert - A, 9/10, Phillip Woods - B, 8/10 and Peter Lang and Steven Bedggood - C, 9/10, all claimed their share of the cash prize.

The main event was 60 mixed targets, comprising 15 targets each of single barrel, double barrel, double barrel points decision and continental; a varied and enjoyable mix.

A potential score of 90 was the goal.

Mid-80s scores were coming in thick and fast until Mick Ward posted 87 and became the shooter to beat; Don Rhodes, Phillip Desmond and Trevor Newman all returned 86/90 but to no avail.

Mick Ward won the Gold Community Cup outright, 87/90.

After the shoot-offs, the grade winners and place-getters were: AA Grade - Ward 87/90, Desmond 98/102. A Grade - Rhodes 88/90, Daniel Chinn 94/102.

In B Grade, Phillip Woods took the sash 83/90 from Geoff Hill, 81/90.

C was a hard-fought win for Ron Press 100/114 from Bedggood 98/114.

Junior shooter Patrick Kirley took the Junior prize 76/90.

In conjunction with the Commu-

To complete the day there was the Community Bank 20-target handicap event.

Trevor Ewert was the only perfect 20/20 score to win the sash and a metre added to his handicap as well.

After a short shoot-off, John Winters took second place 22/23 from David Frazer 3rd, 21/23 and Ron Press 4th, 19/21.

The Community Bank High Gun

This week’s crossword proudly sponsored by

The Heritage Family

resulted in a shoot-off between Rhodes and Newman, with Rhodes winning 140/150 from Newman 139/150.

It was a very successful day with fair, cool weather, great prizes and trophies, good tucker and lots of noise and laughter.

Thankyou to the Warburton and

Yarra Junction Community Bank branches for your strong support of our club.

The club’s next shoot is the Howqua River Championships on Sunday 28 May, starting at 10.30am.
