Business land bid McLeish MP, also went in to bat for the organisation requesting the Minister for Planning Richard Wynne to “view the land on which YREC operates under the lens of exceptional circumstances”.

She said the original management agreement back in 2007 was between YREC and the then planning minister and added that the agreement had not changed.

Warburton, she said, had significant employment challenges, and it was important to acknowledge that there was a strong need for the site to continue, and the impact it could have on the community.

He said however that on the issue of rezoning, which would increase the value of the property, the planning minister had discretionary powers.

The recommendation opposed rezoning to Commercial 1 and expressed support for rezoning to Low Density Residential with an Environmental Audit Overlay.

The council’s planning department warned that if YREC was not on the site a new C1 Zoning would allow for a range of businesses which could result in a third commercial centre for Warburton and potentially allow for industries and warehousing that would, arguably, be inappropriate to the semirural setting.

Child said the threat to YREC followed a series of ‘mass exoduses” from the town including the hospital, three banks and the Sanitarium WeetBix factory.

“YREC was created, moved to Warburton and had this outcome where they could help people as a stepping stone to establishing their business,” Cr Child said.

“Over the last few years, the (YREC) board has gone ahead in leaps and bounds, and I think there is a bigger future here for YREC.” Cr Child said the council and their Economic Development team was strongly behind YREC and its goal to stay in Warburton.

Yarra Ranges Council has cleared the way for Warburton’s business incubator to make a bid for the land on which it has operated since 2001.

Yarra Ranges Enterprise Centre (YREC) is a not-for-profit organisation that has 20 small business tenants on the government-owned site at 21 Woods Point Road.

The State Government declared the land surplus to requirements last year, and plans to apply for rezoning from Public Use to Commercial 1, and sell it.

The council, at its meeting in Warburton on 27 June, 2017, voted to decline the first right of refusal on pur-

chasing the land and indicated it will oppose the rezoning.

YREC CEO Alison Fitzgerald welcomed the move saying with the first right of refusal completed, the organisation could present a business case to the State Government.

She told the meeting that YREC tenants spent $600,000 a year in the local community, making a significant contribution to the economy of the town.

YREC is calling on the government to apply the ‘exceptional circumstances’ provision to the sale to allow them to purchase the land at an affordable price, and continue to operate.

Community misses Carmel

By Wendy Williamson News of the unexpected death of wellknown Warburton resident Carmel Fox while on holidays overseas last month came as a shock to the Upper Yarra community.

At one time a teacher at Upper Yarra Secondary College, Carmel and her husband Harold ran Powelltown Sawmills, and Carmel was very community-minded and much loved.

Carmel was born at The Alfred hospital in 1948 and lived in Hawthorn until her parents built a new home in Beverley Street, Doncaster, among the apple orchards, using a war service loan.

She went to primary school at St Thomas’s Blackburn, followed by Our Lady of Sion College in Box Hill. She matriculated in 1966 with high enough marks to study law, but chose teaching instead as it had been her dream from a little girl to become a cooking teacher.

She was awarded a student teacher

scholarship to study at Larnook Teachers’ College in Armadale, and she bought herself a little car to drive herself to and from college.

In her first year of college, at a student teachers’ dance, Carmel met Harold Fox. As a project for her last year at college she made her own wedding dress and cake for their marriage in December 1969.

She started her teaching career at Yallourn High School in 1970. As well as teaching full-time, she and Harold owned and operated three hamburger shops and supplied lettuce and coleslaw to McDonalds when they first opened in Melbourne.

After selling the hamburger supply business, in 1975 Carmel, Harold and their young family, including Brenda and Adrian, moved to Warburton. In 1977 Cameron was born, and Carmel decided that a playgroup was needed for the children in her new community and so she helped to start a playgroup

Carmel Fox. 169116 which met at the East Warburton hall.

When Cameron started school Carmel returned to university to upgrade her teaching qualifications so that she could return to teaching. Once qualified she did relief teaching at many schools, some up to an hour’s drive away, such was her dedication to her profession.

In 1990 the family moved to Canberra for three years. Carmel continued to teach while Harold studied at Bible College. On the family’s return to Warburton, Carmel started teaching at Upper Yarra Secondary College. In 2002 she officially retired. However, for several years afterwards she was continually called upon to relieve teachers.

In 2005 Harold and Carmel joined the Warburton Presbyterian Church.

She served faithfully in many roles, including church treasurer. She was much loved by the congregation for her quiet and often hidden service and also her open and demonstrative encouragement and love.

About three years ago Carmel joined Harold at Powelltown Sawmills in the office. She became involved in the Powelltown community, working on everything from water security to bus transport, just as she had always helped out in any community in which she lived.

Carmel’s community involvement over the years included the Catholic primary school mothers’ catering group, the Powelltown community group, the Lions Club and much more.

At various times she was involved in the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Presbyterian Church and the Catholic Church. She taught at many schools including Upper Yarra Secondary College, Mount Evelyn Technical College and Ringwood Secondary College.

Carmel loved her netball. She was still playing at 60. She also loved to travel. Sadly, it was en route to a onemonth European holiday which was to include a cruise around the Mediterranean that she passed away on 20 May. She was 68.

She is remembered as a beautiful person, kind and generous, organised and compassionate, who was always ready to help others, someone who had time for everyone and the right words whatever the situation.

action, and to write a community plan and share it with people who can make it happen.

The process has already resulted in positive outcomes including bringing an awareness of Badger Creek as a community as reflected in feedback from one of the committee members who wrote: “Just the fact that we got together with the four facilities for this event gave the incentive for big clean-ups, amazing work at the old school with landscaping, a lovely clean-up of the hall and other buildings, meeting with community-like people, involving the school, and progress on the Roma Avenue park.”

Ms Pozzi thanked the council, saying without their encouragement and assistance the process would never have hap-

pened, but also recognised the work put in by the community and the BCCPP committee.

“We’re really grateful they chose Badger Creek for this process,” Ms Pozzi said.

She said the celebration brought a lot of people together, but was really just the start.

“We would like a few more people on the committee, and everyone is welcome to come along to our meetings,” Ms Pozzi said.

The next meeting is on Tuesday, 18 July, 4pm at the Badger Creek CFA meeting room.

The Badger Creek community came out in force on Sunday, 18 June, celebrating its unique character and community, and looking to its future.

The Badger Creek Community Celebration focused around the Badger Creek Hall, old school building, CFA station and the Men’s Shed, showcasing local organisations with music, information stands, free children’s activities, demonstrations and good food as part of the Badger Creek Community Planning Process (BCCPP).

Yarra Ranges Council initiated the BCCPP last year, facilitating the formation of a committee tasked with community planning.

BCCPP Chair Doris Pozzi said the event exceeded expectations with around 1000 people filtering through during the day and with many taking the opportunity to have a say on what they love about living in Badger Creek, and what they would like to see happen there.

She said the responses were consistent.

“What they love is the nature, the beautiful greenery and the country feel,” Ms Pozzi said.

“What they would really like to see is some footpaths and bike paths to enable people to get around safely.”

Yarra Ranges Council Community Development Officer, Jessica Adams, said working with the Badger Creek community was a positive experience.

“It’s a great bunch of generous, committed people who have heaps of good ideas for building on the strengths of Badger Creek and its community,” she said.

She said the next steps were to gather more ideas from community members, hold a community workshop to work out priority areas and community projects for

Voice of adoptees to be heard on national stage

By Kath Gannaway AN adoption Think Tank in Warburton in June aims to give a national voice to adoptees.

Attended by adult adoptees from around Australia, the first Adoptees Round Table Think Tank (ARTT) was co-ordinated by local adoptee William Hammersley who has for a number of years lobbied for changes to historic adoption practices.

A total of 25 adopted people from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT spent 2 to 4 June at Warburton Lodge, many meeting face to face for the first time with people they have shared their stories with on Facebook. They have been also sharing their hopes for the future.

The Think Tank was facilitated

by Dr Sara Murphy, a member of the Australian Psychological Society with an extensive background knowledge and understanding of attachment theory.

An intense agenda covered topics ranging from the use of language and traditional terms, the status of birth certificates, open adoption vs closed adoption, stewardship or adoption, and the use of DNA testing, media coverage of what is an under explored topic, and the need for guidelines, addressing the needs of a range of people involved in the adoption process and the establish-

ment of a national body.

Dr Catherine Lynch from the Australian Adoptee Rights Action Group joined the Think Tank online for the final session.

She spoke of the impact on the internet in bringing adoptees around the world together and the revelations that came out of that open discussion.

In a quote from the manual, Dr Lynch said “Adoptees live their lives trying to manage in a myriad different ways the debilitating lifelong impacts of premature maternal separation, that is, the loss of their mothers at or near to birth, as well as multiple identity disruptions and disconnection from family, kin and ancestry.�

Mr Hammersley said he was one of the people who found a voice on the internet. “We constantly have the problem of not being recognised and having our voices heard,� he said. “No-one wants to listen to us because we are telling a different story to the accepted story of adoption,� he said. “Yes, there are happy adoptees, but all suffer some problems. “Many don’t recognise those problems - the separation from the mother at birth and the trauma that instills in the child for the rest of their life.

William Hammersley. 170210. “They not only remove the child at birth, but change our identity; it is a core problem for adoptees.�

Mr Hammersley said a light-bulb moment at the ARTT was that adoptees wanted the right to be the person they were born as - to discharge their adoption with no fault. “We don’t want to have to blame adoptors, we don’t want to blame parents, we don’t want to

A working group will now work towards formalising a national body with a second Think Tank planned for Queensland. “We will elect a national body and work on projects to get our voices heard,� Mr Hammersley said.

“Recess, lunchtime and before school each day - we do a lot of training,� she said. “We have to train the body to get through this routine as it is continuous high intensity work for two minutes with no stopping at all.�

This year a team of Grade 3 girls and a team of Grade 4 girls will be going to the Nationals as well as a team of Grade 5 and 6 boys.

Of the boys that are going, Lachlan in Grade 5 is following in the footseteps of his brothers and sister and is the fourth sibling to go to the Nationals.

Ms Nyman was extremely proud of the dedication the students had shown in their training and mentioned that there was a culture surrounding the sport at the school. “There’s a bit of a culture at our school ... all the Preps walk outside doing star jumps and waiting for their turn,� she said. “I’m very proud of the kids, they’ve done a great job to get this far, and we are hoping to make our community proud when we are in Queensland.�

The competition is held at the Gold Coast convention centre on 5 August.

The mysterious black cat is back in the Yarra Ranges.

Operation Panther will see Maroondah and Knox Highway patrols support the Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol in conducting sustained traffic operations on the major roads in and out of the Yarra Ranges over the coming months.

The operation is launched in time for the school holidays when many families are leaving to go skiing or snowboarding at the snowfields.

Operation Panther will be specifically targeting speeding motorists but police will also be conducting vehicle safety checks, in addition to breath testing, and drug testing.

The primary focus of the operation is to ensure motorists using these major roads have a safe journey and arrive at their destination alive and well and Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol reiterate that risky behaviour on our roads not only jeopardises the safety of drivers but that of their passengers and other road users.

Warburton police are looking to the public to help stop illegal hunting that is occurring in the State Forest near Warburton.

On Sunday 2, July, at 8am a member of the public reported to police that hunting had occurred in the State Forest near the Reefton and McMahons Creek areas.

It is believed high-powered rifles were used to hunt deer in the State Forest and although Warburton police patrolled the area, they were unable to locate the reported hunters.

If caught hunting in State Forest exclusion zones, the offenders will face court on a number of charges and have their firearms seized, and license suspended.

Sergeant Tom Wilkinson from the Warburton police said it was worrying to see hunters in exclusion zones as it jeopardised the safety of people using those areas for recreational use. “Hunters have to consider their actions and ramifications, and possible harm to people, there is a clear reason why these exclusion zones exist,� he said. “It places the public at risk because these areas of State Forest are regularly used by other people for recreational activities such as bush walking and bike riding�. “It’s regulated for a reason and orientated around public safety.�

Sgt Wilkinson said that if people had concerns and notices tell-tale signs such as carcasses in the back of a car to take the registration and details of the car which can help police identify the hunters.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police on triple-zero or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential report to www. crimestoppersvic. com.au:

Illegal firearms Victoria Police is urging Victorians to do their part in ridding communities of illegal firearms and dangerous weapons to help support the nation-wide Firearm and Weapons Amnesty.

From 1 July, Victorians will have three months to surrender their unregistered and unwanted firearms, ammunition and weapons to licensed firearms dealers without fear of prosecution.

Anyone surrendering items during the amnesty is to surrender them to a licensed firearms dealer and not directly to local police.

Launching students at aerobics Nationals Launching Place Primary School has had a long and illustrious history of aerobics, and has on several occasions made it to the Nationals.

This year is no exception, and the school is sending three aerobic groups to compete in the Schoolaerobics Australian National Championships 2017 on the Gold Coast.

Teacher and coach Candice Nyman introduced aerobics nine years ago when she started at the school, as a lunchtime club, but it wasn’t long before teams were competing.

The Launching Place Primary School is the only school in the Upper Yarra area to offer the sport, and Ms Nyman said that since the program’s inception routines had become more difficult and intricate. “The routine is two minutes, but it’s two minutes of non-stop aerobic exercise with power moves- there’s lots of dynamic moves,� she said. “They get judged on synchronicity, showmanship technique and

Make the change Ecologist Michael Smith The term ‘weed’ has negative connotations, generally referring to unwanted plants appearing in backyard gardens from seed banks in the soil.

Dandelions and oxalis, for example, are commonly referred to as weeds because they compete for space and steal nutrients.

Although weeds can be minimised, they are here to stay. However, it is not all bad news. Depending on your per-

spective and lifestyle, there may be some benefits to common weeds found in Yarra Valley backyards.

Stinging nettle regularly pops its leaves up in winter vegetable plots. As a good source of iron, the leaves can be fed to your feathery chicken friends.

Although chickens might avoid whole nettle leaves, by drying and crunching them up, flakes can be mixed in with soft kitchen scraps, such as leftover mashed vegetables or porridge.

Weeds can be used to identify deficiencies in your soil or equally, to indicate healthy soils. It is best to use prevalent weed species as indicators for an accurate assumption.

The weed fat hen indicates fertile soil and can be substituted for spinach in your cooking.

On the other hand, dandelion is an indicator of acidic soil and the roots can be roasted to use as a coffee substitute.

Some weeds have bright flowers packed with pollen and nectar, which can supply food for a range of native insects found in Northern Melbourne.

Although the weeds should not replace native plants, they can be useful; especially in dry seasons, where vegie beds often get a drink from your hose but native areas don’t.

Dandelions and brassica weeds are a great example. I have witnessed native homalictus and cuckoo bees feeding on these plants. Micro-organisms and tiny animals like insects and worms roam around compost piles, releasing heat as a by-product of their composting activities.

Be aware of diabetes

By Derek Schlennstedt In the lead-up to National Diabetes Week, Eastern Health is urging people with or at risk of developing diabetes to seek professional assistance after rates of the condition continue to climb in the Yarra Ranges.

It is reported that 4.2 per cent of residents in the Yarra Ranges are registered as having diabetes - a statistic that Jennifer Williams, Diabetes Educator at Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health is concerned about “Diabetes is a serious condition. Between 2008 and 2013, it contributed to eight per cent of all deaths in the Yarra Ranges - a higher rate than deaths due to traffic accidents,” Ms Williams said.

Overall the 4.2 per cent statistic is lower than the state-wide average of 5.2 per cent, however the prevalence of diabetes has risen by 92 per cent between 2008 and 2017 in the hills and urban

area, including Upwey.

Menzies Creek and Selby have seen an 85 per cent increase, while the Patch, Lilydale, Mt Evelyn and Mooroolbark have all seen substantial increases since 2008.

Those who develop diabetes are three times more likely to suffer from kidney failure, and Eastern Health has reported that patient numbers of kidney failure have doubled in the past eight years.

Healesville Hospital has recently undergone a number of improvements including several new dialysis machines, but Ms Williams warns that prevention is better than a cure.

Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health’s Healthy Living and Diabetes team will be hosting free supermarket tours at Healesville Coles on Tuesday, 11 June, at 9.30am and 10.30am.

Local residents are also invited to attend a healthy morning tea on Friday,

Letters And soccer for all ‘Soccer on the Hill’ in Toolangi was a fantastic multicultural event and I am writing to thank everyone for their involvement and contributions: the Shire of Murrindindi, Anglicare, the Victorian Police, KOHA, and the Toolangi Castella District Community House. The wonderful Healesville Soccer Club and players ably demonstrated no sexism, no racism, no ageism - everybody played and had a great time!

The club embraced the whole concept and I hear they now plan to continue the friendlies with the city kids by taking a team down the line. Youth Resource Officer Chris McGeachan (Yarra, Victoria Police Fitzroy) regularly brings kids from the city to mix with kids from other schools in a week of fun and soccer at Teamsters’ Hill in Toolangi, so if you think your teenager would like to participate in the camps please phone him on 0414 181 438.

My thanks to ‘The Mail’ for covering this day which was almost two years in the planning; the online gallery photos show what a fun time we had up in the clouds.

Acclaimed vision On Sunday 18 June, Badger Creek celebrated its highly successful Community Day event enjoyed by a large number of family groups, individuals, locals and visitors.

Heart-warming congratulations to all those who had the vision to plan this let’s-meet-our- neighbours day, form a committee and find the time and energy required for the detailed organisation of venues and diverse activities.

They were rewarded with the total co-operation and interaction of local groups that allowed us all to share their confidence in our collective interests and abilities.

In the background, this achievement has been supported with subtle guidance by our Yarra Ranges Community Development officer for the Yarra Valley. The Badger Creek Primary School choir had a capacity audience completely entranced and set the high standard of fun, talent and vitality that lasted throughout the day at all the venues where there were continuing musical performances.

I believe the CFA had ‘their best day’ ever for community participation and the Men’s Shed have set up a community library. All the other activities and stalls, most of which were also volunteer community groups, enjoyed continuous interactions and much sharing of information and local awareness.

Bouquets to all who had this vision for their local community and achieved such a rich outcome for us all.

Appeals on Aldi

On an historic day in the Victorian Parliament, Aboriginal elders addressed the Legislative Assembly to explain their connection with the Yarra River. Photo by Jim McFarlane © The State of Victoria Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 2017 with permission of Wurundjeri council.

Elder Alice in the parliament

By Derek Schlennstedt Draped in traditional possum skin shawls and cloaks, Wurundjeri elders Alice Kolasa, Alan Wandin, Jacqui Wandin, Colin Hunter, Roy Jones and Gail Smith addressed an influential bill in the Victorian Parliament on 22 June.

Although Alice made history being the first Wurundjeri person to speak at parliament, that wasn’t the only history being made, and in an Australian first, the ‘Yarra River Protection (Wilip-gin Birrarung murron) Bill,’ is the first legislation ever to go before the Victorian Parliament with a dual Indigenous language title.

The bill identifies the Yarra

River and the many hundreds of parcels of public land it flows through as one living, integrated natural entity for protection and improvement.

That protection has been enshrined in the draft legislation which is co-titled and partly written in Woi-wurrung - assuring Traditional Owners formal custodianship of their land and a permanent voice in the governance and protection of the Yarra River.

The legislation creates an independent body called the Birrarung Council, two members of which must be nominated from the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council.

The Birrung Council will be

tasked with developing a strategic plan for the Yarra River and report annually on that plan to planning minister Richard Wynne.

In parliament, Wurundjeri Elder Alan Wandin from Healesville spoke of the obligation to protect Birrarung - the Yarra River - and maintain it for ‘generations to come.’

“Since our beginning, it has been known that we have an obligation to keep the Birrarung alive and healthy for all generations to come,” he said.

Jacqui Wandin, daughter of Alan was also in attendance, placing ochre and gumtree she plucked from a tree in Coranderrk onto the parliamentary table.

Ms Wandin spoke to the Mail about the historical importance of the event.

“It was very special for us . . . It was a moment where we were left a bit speechless,” she said.

“We were just thinking of the old people, my great-grandfather, Robert Wandin.”

We think about them and the fight that they put up ... they were the first people in Australia to fight for the land rights.”

“What I’m proud of is we are still trying to walk in the footsteps of our elders and trying to make it right.”

“I can’t explain the feeling, but it’s very overwhelming and emotional.”

Yarra Ranges Council will be defending their decision to grant a planning permit for an Aldi store in Healesville on two fronts with both objectors and the applicant appealing the decision at VCAT. Yarra Ranges Council’s director of Social and Economic development, Ali Wastie, confirmed last week that they have received two appeal notices from the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) in relation to the Aldi permit.

More than 20 conditions were attached to the planning permit when it was passed by the council on 26 April, a number addressing issues raised at a community consultation meeting in February, and in written submissions by objectors.

The main sticking point for Aldi was a requirement to reduce the overall height of the building from 7.42 metres to 7 metres at the front, and from 11.26 metres to 9.6 metres along the Church and River street frontages.

An Aldi spokesperson told the Mail at the time that they “ ... will take planning conditions into consideration and determine the impact that these will have on our overall design”.

Ms Wastie said Aldi stores had lodged an appeal with VCAT

in regard to permit conditions.

That appeal came hot on the heels of an objector appeal, seeking a review of the council’s decision. There were 13 formal objections to the proposed plan at the time it went before the Yarra Ranges councillors.

Concerns raised included scale and height of the building, lack of an ‘active shop front’ and issues around the type of building material and landscaping.

There was a warning that allowing Aldi to exceed the maximum height recommendations could set a precedent in the town.

Ms Wastie said council had requested that both matters be heard concurrently.

A practice day hearing will be held on 14 July, with a compulsory conference scheduled for 22 August.

The matter will be heard on 2 October.

Ms Wastie said VCAT had been provided with details of all objectors/submitters.

She said they could expect to be contacted by VCAT offering an opportunity to lodge a statement of grounds if they wished to become a party to the hearing.

The VCAT reference for the Aldi appeal is P1255/2017, and for the objector appeal, P1110/2017.

Roast with all trimmings

By Kath Gannaway There’s no downside to sitting down to a sumptuous roast dinner with family and friends on a cold winter’s day in July.

Make that old-school experience part of The Big Roast, raising funds for cystic fibrosis research, and the delicious pleasure is raised to a whole new level of satisfaction.

People all over Australia will be hosting a Big Roast at home and in their favourite restaurant throughout July thanks to Healesville parents Kirsty and Stephen Bowness who came up with the concept for The Big Roast as their children, Liam and Grace, have CF. With so many engaging ways to raise money for so many deserving causes, it was down to Grace, who at four years of age referred to her disease as ‘sixty-five roasters’ to inspire the Big Roast idea.

Grace’s attempt to say cystic fi-

brosis raised a smile back then, and it’s continuing to raise smiles and vital research dollars.

Over the past seven years, with amazing help from their local community and family and friends, Kirsty and Stephen have raised over $80,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust.

The couple is aiming high again this year.

“Fund-raising empowers all of us as it enables us to do something towards creating a positive future for those living with this condition,” Kirsty said.

The concept is simple - invite friends over for a roast in return for a donation, and pay it in via thebigroast.com.au.

Kirsty said restaurants keen to get involved can do the same, following the lead of Rob Dolan Wines in Warrandyte who are hosting a Sunday Big Roast on 30 July, with $20 from each ticket going to the

Family roast - Liam, mum Kirsty, Grace and dad Stephen.

Big Roast.

For full details of how to get involved, and host a Big Roast, go to

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian, 3 July 1937 In Case You Didn’t Know Mr L.U. Mumford, the Australorp breeder on Steele’s Road Healesville has been visited during the past few weeks by some of Victoria’s leading poultrymen and has sold stud stock from his wellknown flock to them.

On Thursday, 9 July, at 1pm sharp, a monster opening sale will be held at Healesville’s cattle sale yard and general market which is under new management.

Allan Brown, auctioneer and proprietor of the Croydon and Yarra Glen market has purchased the freehold of the Healesville market and is reconstructing it on up-to-date lines, which should make it a big asset to the Healesville district.

Obituary While visiting the Blue Mountains on a health trip, Cr E.R. Bisset of ‘The Gables’ Healesville died at Wentworth Falls on Tuesday.

The news came as a great shock to Healesville as Cr Bisset was a comparatively young man.

He will be greatly missed in council chambers.

He was also an active member of the Healesville Bowling Club.

Yarra Valley Guardian Mail, 6 July 1995 Family Support Gets Teeth The Shire of Yarra Ranges has demonstrated its commitment to family services by nominating a single agency to service the whole of the shire.

This means that the service provided by the former Shire of Sherbrooke will in the future be delivered by Yarra Valley Family Support Services.

Negotiations between the Yarra Ranges Shire and the Mission of St James and St John's Yarra Valley Family Services are expected to lead to an agreement which will strengthen the scope of the family support throughout the shire.

Diabetic program set up for life signed to educated individuals about diabetes and provide insight into management and treatment.

“For most diabetics, finding out that their sugar levels are elevated comes as a shock. There are serious consequences of not treating this disease that is known as a silent killer,” the Diabetic Health Clinic said.

“There is good news, however. If you have been diagnosed it gives you the opportunity to do something about the condition. Leaving type two diabetes untreated can lead to a large number of health issues.”

Described as an intense, life-changing three month program, the Diabetic Health Clinic’s Lifestyle program aims to provide a solid understanding of type two diabetes. Individuals will learn under what conditions sugar levels skyrocket, understand why certain foods elevate blood sugar levels and gain insight in relation to the latest medical research on type two diabetes.

Participants will also be guided through a

lifestyle change by an accredited results trained coach, as well as instructed on how to make healthy choices and reject unhealthy choices.

“By the end of the program you will have improved your health for life through a lifestyle change,” the Diabetic Health Clinic said.

“For most people this program means a remission of their condition.”

The DHC Lifestyle Program will be held at the Redwood Community Centre at 3505 Warburton Highway Warburton at 6.30pm on Monday, 3 July. For more information, or to register, visit www.diabetichealthclinic.org or call 0419 777 440.

The sound of liberty

By Derek Schlennstedt On Friday, the Liberty Family Church in Healesville will be filled with the voices of Ugandan children.

The 10-person children’s choir is part of the 100% Hope charity and will see the Ugandan children dance, sing and give stirring performances from their homeland.

Many of the children performing with the choir have endured a difficult start to life and have harrowing accounts of their early lives in Uganda.

The 100% Hope charity was established by a Queensland woman, Trishelle Sayuuni, nee Grady who has created a 12-hectare property in Uganda that now provides housing and education for hundreds of children at any one time.

Despite the complications of visiting Uganda - including being taken hostage on the first day of the school operation Trishelle has remained dedicated to giving impoverished, children a home and a childhood.

To help raise funds for the school, 100 per cent of the money received from the free choir performance goes to the charity.

Trishelle said they were aiming to raise enough for four fully-equipped girls’ homes, starting with homes for the 42 girls currently living in their class-

rooms.

“Many of our girls would have been child brides and already have babies by now if we had not rescued them,” Trishelle said.

“The need is overwhelming and it can become quite disheartening at times, but I try to focus on just helping one child at a time.”

Each $50,000 raised will provide a home for 16 girls and two house mothers.

Although Trishelle notes that Uganda is still a developing country with many problems, the choir let audiences experience the energy and joy of African culture, as well as an insight into their hardships.

“There’s so much joy in Uganda, even among the poverty, and we want to share that and inspire Australians,” Trishelle said.

“This is an incredible adventure for the choir, but they’re working so hard, because they know this is their chance to use their talents to help their 100% Hope brothers and sisters, now and into the future.”

Trishelle invites everyone to come and see the choir perform for free at Liberty Family Church, Old Lilydale Road, Healesville, Friday, 7 July, from 7pm onwards.

Follow the adventures of Mothball, as she is brought to life in a puppetry performance that captures all her charm and cheek.

Wombat is a classic

By Derek Schlennstedt

Ten Ugandan children came to Healesville and Australia for the first time to perform songs and dance from their homeland.

Exhibition keeps eye on the future

By Kendra Spencer Artwork produced by 81-year-old Daphne Mitchell is the latest exhibition at Warburton’s Water Wheel Gallery.

The exhibition is Daphne’s first in her 25 years of painting.

Gallery curator, Suyin Chan, said Daphne had never held a public exhibition and sale of her work before and it was therefore an exciting new experience for the octogenarian.

Titled “Here, Now and Tomorrow”, the exhibition showcases paintings that she has created over the past quarter century, clearly depicting the exploration of time and significant events throughout her years.

The work ranges from still life, to paintings of people in different places.

These paintings often consist of landscapes and scenes, including historically recognised areas such as Uluru, and Australian bushland.

Here, Now and Tomorrow is on exhibition until 12 July.

It’s a timeless classic about a mischievous wombat that causes all sorts of havoc for a couple of humans after she discovers that she can get delicious carrots from them.

Now, the naughtiest wombat in Australia will make her appearance in theatre, thanks to the incredible puppetry of Monkey Baa Theatre, who will bring to life the cheeky and hilarious wombat, Mothball.

The show is making its way to Healesville and Warburton in early July, and is sure to make audiences laugh.

Michael Cullen, a puppeteer and actor with the show said the performance did not differ from its book counterpart but included lovely live music.

“It’s about a mischievous, playful wombat called Mothball who gets bored of eating grass and discovers humans can be trained to give you carrots and oats.

“There will be a live cellist who is playing the emotions and story of the wombat, so when the wombat is angry there will be angry music - the cellist narrates the wombat.

“We wanted to keep it authentic, so the wombat doesn’t talk,” he said.

The performance is a delightful play that is just the right length (45 minutes) for its younger audience.

Narrated by cello and brought to life beautifully by Mothball’s incredible puppetry, all puppeteers studied the movements of wombats and have even met a few on their tour.

Diary of a wombat will play at the Healesville Memo on Wednesday, July 12, at 2pm and 6.30pm, and also at Warburton Arts Centre, on Friday 14 July, at 2pm and 6.30pm.

Diary of a Wombat is part of a wider school holidays based program including a How to Train Your Dragon orchestral performance, The Magic Flute Opera, and a Roald Dahl ‘The Witches’ performance - all showing at the Mooroolbark Library.

The Promise (M) Starring: Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, Christian Bale The Promise is a harrowing (if unbalanced) thriller about a relatively little-known tragedy in the early twentieth century.

In 1915 Turkey, an Armenian medical student (played by Oscar Isaac), a teacher (Charlotte Le Bon) and an American reporter (Christian Bale) become entangled in the Armenian genocide, a systematic campaign by the Ottoman government to eradicate its Armenian population.

Through solemn, natural

performances and non-explicit yet hard-hitting violence, The Promise unflinchingly depicts the cruelty human beings are capable of against any kind of other. Isaac and Bale’s characters (Mikhail and Christopher, respectively) drive themes of compassion and integrity, and the film maintains an exceedingly bleak atmosphere with a tinge of hope.

Unfortunately, a completely unnecessary love triangle between Mikhail, Christopher and Ana (Le Bon’s character) is the root of The Promise’s problems.

While Mikhail and Christopher’s mutual love for Ana was intended to present a common reason for them to persevere

through the madness, it does reduce Ana to an object (however kind and brave) of the male characters’ journeys, and serves to highlight how underwritten she is. Mikhail and Christopher both undergo strong character development, but Ana experiences very little.

Removing the love triangle (and Mikhail’s redundant betrothed fiance) would have streamlined the plot and rendered the emotional impact more punchy and less Hollywood-sentimental.

Shedding light on a littleknown tragedy, The Promise is an imperfect but gripping and important film.

Wandin sit on top of ladder

By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Round 11 was the first part of AFL Yarra Ranges’ Division 1 split round and some games brought some surprise results, while the favourites keep on rolling on.

Wandin now sit on top of the ladder, but Olinda play next Saturday and will be expected to share the top-of-thetable spot.

Healesville are clearly second, with Olinda in third.

Woori Yallock are safe in fourth with Upwey making up the final five.

Seville and Belgrave are now clear by two games on top of the Division 2 ladder.

Yarra Glen share third spot with Powelltown, while Alexandra make up the five with 24 points.

In the Under 18s, Emerald and Mount Evelyn are in top spot with Wandin one game behind in third.

Healesville holds onto fourth spot with Upwey in fifth.

The eight is then made up with Warburton, Woori Yallock and Gembrook.

Olinda holds onto top spot in A Grade Netball closely followed by Wandin and Woori Yallock.

Monbulk and Warburton make up the five.

Belgrave are clearly flag favourites in Division 2 and are clear by two games on the top of the ladder.

Yarra Glen is second with Yarra Junction, Powelltown and Yea making up the five.

Division 1 Seniors Football Emerald 14.13(97) d GembrookCockatoo 7.9(51) Emerald has notched up their fourth win for the season at the expense of Gembrook-Cockatoo. Emerald got out to a 12-point lead at quarter-time and was never really in doubt from then on.

They kicked 4.3 to 1.4 in the second quarter and had a comfortable lead of 29 points at half-time. Both sides kicked three goals in the third term but the margin increased to 31 points. Emerald kicked another four goals to two in the last quarter, meaning Gembrook are still left looking for their first win.

Emerald Best: J. Donders (2 goals), M. Thomas, P. White (1 goal), C. Thomsen, M. Dompietro, D. Karacsonyi (2 goals).

Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: L. Frazzetto, L. Scott (1 goal), M. Wills, D.Leversha, R. Causer (1 goal), R. Wilson.

Healesville 16.18(114) d Warburton-Millgrove 5.7(37) Healesville are sitting second after Saturday while Warburton hold onto ninth spot but are only one game from avoiding relegation. Warburton held Healesville to three goals in the first and the lead was only 15 points at quarter time. Healesville were struggling to kick majors in the second term, kicking 2.7 to 3.2, and were outscored by Warburton in the second quarter. However, the margin was still 14 points.

The third quarter was tight but Healesville won it by six points. The lead was only 20 points at half-time and Healesville were certainly not impressive, while Warburton were still hanging in.

Healesville finally got their game going in the last and romped away with a ten goal to one last quarter, with the margin blown out to 77 points at the final siren.

Seville versus Yarra Junction was a hard-fought affair in AFL Yarra Pictures: GREG CARRICK Ranges action. 170184 Healesville Best: D. Plozza, J. Shaw (3 goals), A. Davies (4 goals), D. Anderson, J. Nugent (2 goals), S. Donkin.

Warburton-Millgrove Best: T. Walker, T. Mavric, J. Lee, T. Marr, C. Morgan (1 goal), T. McKail.

Wandin 14.14(98) d Monbulk 9.15(69) Wandin have put themselves on top of the ladder after a solid win over Monbulk. They got off to a cracker of a start kicking 6.5 to 2.5 and had a game-winning lead of 24 points at quarter-time. Three goals each in the second quarter kept the margin to 25 points at half-time but Monbulk were struggling to find a way to break into Wandin’s running game. Monbulk outscored Wandin by three points in the third term but needed to be able to convert to make any inroads into their lead. Wandin finished the game off with three goals to two and secured a tough fought win in the end.

Wandin Best: J. Ladner (1 goal), N. Molnar (1 goal), S. Dwyer (6 goals), A. Young, J. Del Giudice, B. Chapman.

Monbulk Best: C. Tibb, C. Sharpe, B. Jennings-Allen, B. Emmett (2 goals), S. Van Seters.

Woori Yallock 17.15(117) d Mount Evelyn 4.8(32) Woori Yallock have dealt Mount Evelyn a tough blow and left them in sixth spot, one game behind fifth after a disappointing performance on Saturday. The first quarter was tight and Mount Evelyn was in the hunt as they were only seven points down at quarter time. Woori Yallock fired in the second term kicking 7.4 to two behinds and the writing was on the wall for Mount Evelyn at half-time with a 51-point deficit. Woori Yallock stopped in the third quarter and only kicked 2.2 to 1.3 but their lead was still 56 points turning for home. The last quarter was all Woori Yallock with six goals to two.

The wind may have been a factor but Woori Yallock certainly made the most of it when they had the opportunity.

Woori Yallock Best: B. Arnold, B. Monkhorst (7 goals), L. Boontjes, S. Kennedy, K. Thompson, M. Batten.

Mount Evelyn Best: M. Martin, D. Wootton, S. Martin, J. Barden, D. Kift, B. Doyle.

Olinda Ferny Creek play Upwey Tecoma Saturday, 8 July.

Division 2 Seniors Football Powelltown 19.18(132) d Thornton Eildon 9.8(62) Powelltown share third spot with Yarra Glen after a win over Thornton-Eildon on Saturday. Powelltown opened their account kicking eight goals to one in the first quarter, and the lead was 45 points at quarter-time.

Thornton held Powelltown to three goals and kicked two themselves but the margin was still 52 points at halftime. Powelltown fired up again in the third term with 5.6 to 1.3 and the game was all but over. Thornton kicked 5.2 to 3.5 in the last and showed some fight however the margin was well out of reach.

Powelltown Best: M. McLaughlin, N. Moody, J. Moore (3 goals), J. Walker, D. Roy (4 goals), M. McArthur (2 goals).

Thornton-Eildon Best: B. Wratten, J. Ashby (2 goals), R. Chapman (2 goals), J. Newton (1 goal), T. Keating (1 goal), D. King (3 goals).

Kinglake 13.7(85) d Yarra Glen 10.8(68) Kinglake have kept themselves in touch with the five and have handed Yarra Glen a wakeup call, dropping them to third place and two games away from the top contenders. Yarra Glen is also in danger of dropping to fourth in the coming weeks. Yarra Glen got the early break in the first term but only held a lead of three points going into the second quarter. The wind did play a part in this game and Kinglake had the slight advantage in the second, kicking six goals to four and a lead of 10 points going into the main break.

Kinglake kept up the pressure in the third term and held Yarra Glen to only one goal for the quarter, extending their lead to 19 points at three-quarter time. It was goal for goal in the last and when it looked like Yarra Glen were going to make a charge, Kinglake kicked back. The final margin was 17 points, and this match has opened the race for the final five.

Kinglake Best: M. Fitzclarence, J. Crowe (2 goals), M. McAllister (1 goal), B. White (2 goals), L. White (1 goal), J. Mende.

Yarra Glen Best: T. Russell, B. James (5 goals), K. Hudson (1 goal), G. Filsell, J. Baughan, M. Davies.

Seville 20.11(131) d Yarra Junction 10.5(65)

Ladies Day at Yarra Junction was a huge success. 170184 Seville is on top of the ladder by percentage after a complete domination of Yarra Junction on Saturday. Josh Neal had a day out kicking nine goals. The game was close in the first term with Seville only holding an eight-point lead at quarter-time. They kicked away in the second quarter with five goals to three and claimed a 22-point lead at half-time. The Blues put their foot down in the third term, kicking 7.4 to 1.2 and the lead had blown out to 60 points. It tightened up in the last with ten goals but Seville came out on top come the final siren.

Seville Best: J. Neal (9 goals), S. Senior (2 goals), J. Noble, J. Nolan (2 goals), M. Cecere (2 goals), A. Wind.

Yarra Junction Best: J. Swinden, L. McCombe (6 goals), T. Boxell, T. Armstrong, J. Saker, A. Ward.

Belgrave started in fine form kicking nine goals to three and the lead was already 39 points. A massive sevengoals-to-three second quarter meant that the lead was 73 points at half-time.

Belgrave held Yea goalless in the third term and kicked four themselves, the lead now an even 100 points at the final break. They did not let up there and kicked seven final quarter goals to two to stamp their authority on the competition.

Belgrave Best: T. Marks (7 goals), M. Brown (1 goal), P. Gough (4 goals), J. McDermott (1 goal), Y. Curtis (1 goal), J. Webb.

'Shot in the arm' for netball club

Alan wins at Warburton

Action in the Yarra Junction v Seville Ladies Day match.

170183

By Kath Gannaway Yarra Junction’s Ladies’ Day Netball competition took on a festive atmosphere on Saturday, 1 July, with Nova 100 Radio Station’s Casanova team on board to present a cheque for $1000.

The club’s A Grade captain, Amanda Finn, entered the netball club into the Local Champions competition run by Yarra Ranges Bendigo Community Banks in conjunction with Nova 100 Radio.

Club president, Tony Aulich, said the $1000 was a great shot in the arm for the netballers who work hard to fundraise for necessities such as uniforms and netballs.

“We have four teams and it was just a real thrill for everyone at the club to see Nova 100 and the Bendigo Community Banks getting together and making that presentation and putting a bit of a show on the day,” he said.

Mr Aulich said free coffee from the Nova barista, games, prizes and, of course the $1000 windfall, made it a real community event.

“We’re very grateful to the Bendigo Community Banks in Yarra Ranges for making that amount of money available to be won, and to “Our Finny” for entering the club in the competition.

WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY Stableford: With the weather gods looking down favourably, but the course playing ‘tough’, the golfing gods were clearly on the side of Alan Johnson. A.J accrued 36 points to win the day by six points. Runner-up, on a countback, was Ralph Logan with 30 points.

The balls only went down to 30. In a rare event, no NTPs were won on the 12th, 15th or 17th.

SATURDAY Stroke and Monthly Medal: A Grade was taken out by Ken White, with a Nett 70. Good work, Ken. But, the much sought after medal went to the B Grade winner, Timmy Mulhall, who shot an outstanding Nett 65. This was one of the best scores of the last few weeks on the course.

Great effort, Tim. The runner-up, and the winner of the meal voucher, was young Angus Smith, with a Nett 68 (Mum and Dad might ‘score’ that voucher Angus). The ball rundown extended to 74. NTP winners were Hatty Senior 3rd, Ken White 9th, Danny Fox 12th and to Crossy Senior 15th.

Motoring Cam is on the right track Healesville youngster Cameron Pearson attended the annual Late Model Racing Victoria presentation night at Deer Park Club on Saturday 24 June, receiving the winner’s trophy for the Victorian Club Championship for the 2016-’17 season.

Having finished second in last season’s Club Championship during his debut season in Late Models, the 18-year-old came into his own during his second season, steering his Vic number 10 Healesville Directional Drilling supported XR1 Rocket to three feature-race victories at Rushworth Speedway, Swan Hill’s Sonic Speedway and Wahgunyah Speedway (True Blue 1000).

Going up against some of Australia’s toughest Late Model competitors, Pearson also impressed in the Victorian Title at Wangaratta City Speedway back in January, where he managed to claim the runner-up spot behind South Australian Champion Ben Nicastri, going on to close the season with another pleasing second-place finish to the NSW Club Champion at Sydney’s Valvoline Raceway.

While it was a tight battle in the Club Championship points between Pearson and his HDD Racing teammate Daniel Barton, it was Pearson who managed to get the edge over Barton, with the pair achieving an impressive 1-2 finish for the team.

“It’s been a great season for us and to be able to come away with three feature-race wins, along with the Club Championship, particularly with Dan-

Cameron Pearson 1st (centre) with Mick Hetherinton 3rd (left) and Chevy Edwards 2nd (right).

Picture: INACTION PHOTOS iel coming home in second, is a great achievement,” Pearson said.

His dad, Justin, took out the 2014 and 2015 Club Championships.

“I’m really proud to have continued my dad’s legacy and it’s an amazing feeling to have joined him as a Victorian Club Champion. We learned a lot this season travelling to different tracks and going up against a number of different competitors, and this is something we’ll look to continue next season.”

Healesville rising star Cameron Pearson has taken all before him.

This week will see Pearson travel to America where he will spend the next seven weeks crewing for fellow Australian Late Model racer and current Australia number three Paul Stubber, who will be participating in the Hell Tour, which takes place throughout Indiana, where Pearson will be based, Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee, Missouri, Michigan and Ohio.

During his time in America, Pearson, who has also transported a Rocket chassis to Indiana, will attend the Donnie Moran Driving School, with the potential to compete in a race meeting at Brownstown Speedway in Indiana on 12 August, one day prior to his departure.

“I’m looking forward to my trip to America and I think it’s going to help

Picture: CRASHY'S PHOTOS me gain some invaluable knowledge and experience in terms of seeing how some of the best Late Model competitors in the world race,” Pearson said.

“The Donnie Moran Driving School will no doubt be hugely beneficial to me as a driver, so that will definitely be another highlight. I’m also excited to share this experience with my dad, who will be joining me in late July.”

Auto braking should be standard for our safety crashes, may be prevented with AEB. Even if crashes are not completely prevented, the reductions in speed may be sufficient to prevent death and serious injury.

RACV’s Manager of Vehicle Engineering, Michael Case, said AEB used radar, laser or camera sensors to detect potential crashes and apply the brakes to prevent, or reduce the severity of, a crash.

“We urge vehicle manufacturers to include the technology as standard on all models, as AEB is very effective in situations where there is poor visibility, a driver is distracted or has limited time to react to things like sudden braking of a car in front, or a child running onto the road after a ball,” Mr Case said.

“While there was a variation in performance, all of the systems provide a worthwhile safety benefit.

“AEB can make all the difference in stopping a fright turning into a blight.”

As well as providing a safety benefit, many insurers, including RACV, offer discounts for vehicles with autonomous emergency braking.

Vehicles with AEB as standard across the model range: Mazda passenger vehicles, including Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda6, CX-3, CX5, CX-9; Kia Optima sedan; Subaru Liberty; and Volkswagen Tiguan.

It is all too easy for drivers to collide with the car in front of them.

Up to 40 per cent of vehicle crashes could be prevented if all cars were fitted with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), according to the RACV. This is why RACV is calling on all vehicle manufacturers to fit autonomous emergency braking technology as standard equipment on all new vehicles.

With heavy congestion a common occurrence in Melbourne, and distraction an increasing issue in road safety, it is all too easy for drivers to collide with the car in front of them.

Just two seconds of distraction at 50km/h can add over 27 metres in distance travelled.

A 2014 RACV report revealed that, depending on the type of system fitted, 20-40 per cent of crashes, including fatal
