Push for war memorial support

1230175-CG23-16

The crash that killed Chloe Blackney,11, and Garry Theobold in 2014 may have been avoided had either of two factors identified as the cause of collision not been in play.

Mr Theobold, 50, from Yarra Junction, and his daughter’s friend, Chloe, from Launching Place, were killed at Kinglake in February, 2014, when their car was hit by a truck driven by Kinglake resident Wayne Kortholt.

Delivering her findings last week, Victorian Coroner Paresa Spanos identified the main causes of the crash as the speed at which Mr Kortholt was driving and the condition of the road.

Mr Theobold was driving his daughter Hayley, her best friend Chloe and his son Lachlan to Funfields in Whittlesea on Saturday, 15 February, to celebrate Hayley’s birthday when the tragedy happened.

Gary and Chloe, who was sitting behind him, died when the truck crossed into their path on the HealesvilleKinglake Road at 8.50am. Hayley and Lachlan on the passenger side were uninjured.

The finding comes from a two-day inquest conducted by Judge Spanos in September last year at which evidence was given by investigators from the Major Collision Unit, VicRoads and witnesses to the crash.

The court heard at that inquest that police did not bring criminal charges against Mr Kortholt as it was believed there would not be enough evidence to bring a conviction.

Among her conclusions, Judge Spanos found that Mr Theobold did not contribute to the collision which, she said, occurred in an 80km/h speed zone with 45km/h advisory and ‘Slippery When Wet’ signs.

Mr Kortholt was driving at 53.33km/h.

She said the road surface had significant differential skid resistance and was on VicRoads’ Roads in Poor Condition Register pending funding to rectify ‘a significant differential skid resistance identified in May 2012.

She found the response of VicRoads in putting up warning signs was reasonable and appropriate in view of funding cuts and competing needs.

The speed at which Mr Kortholt negotiated the left curve and was driving when the truck slid or stepped out, and the significant differential skid resistance between the left and right wheel paths travelled by the truck were the main causal factors, Judge Spanos said.

She said however “The evidence does not allow me to determine which of these factors was the primary cause of the collision, but does support a finding that absent (of) either factor the collision would probably not have occurred.”

Chloe’s family, dad Simon, mum Kylie, siblings Rhys, Holly and Brock, and Kylie’s parents John and Yvonne Stephens, were in court on Tuesday 11 July for the finding.

Mrs Blackney said they were shattered that no-one had been held accountable.

They had requested the Inquest in the hope of getting some justice for their daughter, and their friend.

“The Inquest was about getting a thorough investigation and what we were told from day one was that you couldn’t place more blame on the driver than what you could on the road.

“What my husband and I don’t understand is that advisory signs are meant for trucks and he was doing 53 on a corner that was 45.

“That road was substandard on a main road carrying trucks to the Western Ring Road and was substandard on a bend like that.”

She said the fact that the road had been repaired almost immediately after the crash added to the tragedy.

“If things had been different that accident would not have happened and we would not have lost our daughter.

“There needs to be a better system where when a road is identified (as being in need of repair) it’s fixed straight away, so things like this don’t happen and little kids don’t die.

In a digital dark age

State forest vandalism

Peter and Wendy White spent nearly four months without phone services.

“Endless amount of calls ... been on the phone every night sometimes, we just want to get a result, we don’t care who’s fault it is, we just want to get our landline and internet back,” he said.

“It’s just very frustrating when they are not telling us the truth.”

A mass NBN rollout across Warburton took place late last year, and it is believed that during the works a contractor damaged the copper services to the street.

Both NBN and Telstra have apologised for the inconvenience but neither confirmed or released any information regarding the problem and why it took so long to fix.

“Nbn would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused to the resident,” said Kasey Ellison, Corporate Affairs Advisor.

“Unfortunately an extended cable fault has affected the service... due to issues re-

Despite not having any phone services, both Ivan and Wendy have still received phone bills, which they said they will not be paying.

The internet service and phone connection has since been fixed.

Connected families to foster thriving kids

By Kath Gannaway Connecting families with services is key to ensuring Yarra Ranges will be a place where every child and young person will be able to thrive and actively participate in decision making, a meeting was told.

O’Shannassy Ward Councillor Jim Child made these observations during a meeting at Warburton on 27 June in response to council’s endorsement of The Let’s Talk about Warby Project Report.

A new governance group will be formed to help forge connections between Upper Yarra families and services in their area, based on the project, he told fellow councillors and a predominantly Upper Yarra gallery.

The Let’s Talk About Warby project ran from late 2015 into 2016, with an aim

of identifying vulnerable families in Warburton with young children, and helping connect them to services they need.

Over six months, council staff engaged with parents, carers and service providers at numerous events and street talks around Warburton and Reefton.

Yarra Ranges Council director of Social and Economic Development, Ali Wastie, said that consultation informed recommendations which council would use to improve connections and services in the area.

“Upper Yarra residents can often have difficulty accessing services, or might not know what’s available in the area around them,” Ms Wastie said.

“We will be using the recommendations from the project report to advocate for and facilitate ways to break these bar-

riers, such as transport improvements and increased in-home support for families.”

Other recommendations from the report include looking at how existing and planned infrastructure can be more family friendly, facilitating new events and programs and better distribution of information about services and activities.

The councillors voted unanimously to endorse the report and establish the Upper Yarra Governance Group to oversee the implementation of the recommendations.

Cr Child said the project gave council a detailed picture of the experiences of families and what they needed to help raise their children.

“While the majority of children growing up in the Upper Yarra are thriving and developing well, the available data and community feedback has identified that

the developmental outcomes for some are not as strong as we would wish,” he said.

“This project is a demonstration of council’s commitment to achieving the outcomes outlined in the Child and Youth Strategy, and I look forward to seeing actions emerge that make a positive difference to the lives of young children.”

Cr Fiona McAllister also spoke in favour of the report.

“We know from a number of projects we’ve run, and research supports that we need to invest in the first two to three years of children’s lives.

“I’m thrilled that this project is taking on a new life, and will continue on to improve outcomes for vulnerable children.”

Vandals ripped out metal gates in the Yarra State Forest at the entry points to Cemetery Fire Line and Justice Track in the Old Warburton area.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) said that vandals used a winch to damage the gates to the track which is closed to the public until the end of October.

In a Facebook post, DELWP said that the track is closed to keep motorists safe and to protect the integrity of soil during winter.

DELWP warned vandals that they could be charged with compromising access, safety for emergency services vehicles, and vandalism.

Anyone with information is urged to call DELWP on 136 186.

Train derailment The Lilydale train line was suspended around 1am on 17 July after train carriages derailed, causing havoc for commuters.

The 200-metre long maintenance train was carrying railway sleepers when four of its carriages derailed due to a switch fault.

The incident near the Lilydale station platform also blocked the Maroondah Highway for several hours forcing Metro Trains to provide buses for stranded passengers during the morning peak hour.

By Derek Schlennstedt How long could you cope without an internet or phone service? A day, perhaps a week, at most!

In today’s digital age, people rely more and more on these technological services for a multitude of things.

But, for several residents on Gibson’s Parade in Warburton, a world without either has become their reality, and since Easter they have been stuck with no phone or internet connection.

Wendy White, a resident on Gibson’s Parade spent the last four months stressed and worried, after her husband suffered a stroke and the need for phone services became vital - a fact she reiterated to her telco provider, Commander.

Despite getting a mobile phone to help with appointments, regular phone calls to the William Angliss Hospital where her husband Peter was being treated resulted in phone credit building up.

“Every day I had to go to the hospital because I couldn’t ring my husband ... it’s just been a joke,” Wendy said.

“His physio, occupational therapy doctors were all trying to make appointments, so it’s almost cost me $50 a day to buy credit.”

After endless hours on the phone, Wendy said she was given the run-around with a lack of information and no-one claiming responsibility, with NBN and Telstra constantly deflecting the blame on the other.

“We were constantly told all different stories, NBN blamed Telstra, Telstra blamed NBN,” she said.

Many other residents on the parade share similar stories, and Ivan Rosengreen, who lives a few doors down from Wendy, also commented on the lack of transparency and information from both NBN and Telstra.

He said that over the duration of the problem, they constantly received various dates when services would be fixed, which, he noted, never came to fruition.

Growing up can be a pain watch Jerome Higgins

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda

A couple of weeks ago, I became concerned when my four-year-old was complaining about a deep aching or throbbing pain in his lower leg, just below the inside of his knee, which was worse in the evening and even woke him up overnight.

There was no bruising or swelling, it wasn’t overly sensitive to touch and the area of pain was vague rather than specific.

My mind was racing to the worst possible outcomes and I started having flashbacks of radiology classes from university showing giant cell tumours of the femur (thigh) and other nasties causing radiating and non-specific leg pain, worse at night, in children.

And you’ll be pleased to know that I did Google these things on the spur of the moment, which manifested my anxieties further!

Come the morning, he was good as gold again, running around annoying his sisters, tackling the puppy and kicking the football at vases and other breakables inside the house.

And the pain hasn’t resurfaced since.

So can ‘growing pains’ affect a four-year-old and what causes this type of pain? ‘Growing pains’ is a poorly defined term.

Bone growth is slow and does not cause pain.

But growth spurts can increase tension on soft tissue (ligaments, muscles, cartilage) and even nerve tissue which is the likely cause of ‘growing pains’.

As physiotherapists, we typically see ‘grow-

ing pains’ in the eight to 12-year-old range.

Commonly, it is associated with an increase in sporting activity over a short period (e.g. resumption of sports after a break) or a change in training, intensity or even footwear.

And more often than not, ‘growing pains’ in this age group are directly linked to poor biomechanics in the lower kinetic chain - in layman’s terms this is seen as rolling in feet, knock-kneed gait or squatting, and weakness in the hips and pelvis.

So the underlying biomechanical weakness are actually exacerbated by the increase or change in sporting activity, and then further exacerbated by any sudden growth which stretches the soft tissue and nerve attachments.

It’s important to understand this, as it means that if there are underlying biomechanical causes that are not dealt with, they will continue to be a problem as the child is developing and into adulthood.

So how do you know it is not just ‘growing pains’: The pain continues throughout the day; The child has a fever, rash or loss of appetite; The joint/s around the site of pain is/are swollen and/or stiff (common site of juvenile arthritis is knees); Any swelling or tenderness locally; And what to do if it is growing pains: Massage, stretching, heat.

See a physio if: Pain persists after activity or worsens during sport/activity; The child’s feet, knees or hips roll in excessively (check on a single leg squat) And yes, ‘growing pains’ surprisingly can occur in three to five-years-olds (thanks Google), as well as eight to 12-year-olds!

Buses below par of early morning services · Provision and additional evening services on

By Kath Gannaway

Cire principal Tim Knowles making the road to education easier for Picture: ROB CAREW students. 163276

Wheels greased on road to education

By Kath Gannaway A new bus, on the road this week, will provide transport for young people from ‘down the line’ wanting to attend Cire Community School in Yarra Junction.

Cire Services at Yarra Junction caters for Years 7 to 12.

Cire currently provides a bus from Healesville and Badger Creek to the Yarra Junction campus to meet the increased interest that has come with the inclusion of Years 7, 8 and 9.

Expanding the service to Chirnside Park, Mooroolbark, Mount Evelyn and Lilydale will remove a barrier for students wanting to move away from mainstream schooling to the Cire model that caters to the needs of students who have disengaged from mainstream education.

Cire principal Tim Knowles said a lot of the younger kids didn't have the skills to use public transport and the new service would give that extra support, and options.

“We recognise that many of our students need an extra level of support in order to have a successful high school experience and are committed to providing theses extra services to our school community,” Mr Knowles said.

Transport is among a number of barriers not only to their education but to their ability to access professional health services.

In recognition of the complex issues impacting on young people’s ability to remain engaged in learning, the school’s wellbeing program creates links to wellbeing staff and community health professionals including doctors, psychologists, alcohol and drug counsellors and housing service workers.

The door-to-door bus services remove one of the fundamental barriers - getting to the school and home again.

For more information on the Cire Community School, and the school bus services, phone Cire Services on 1300 835 235.

The lack of footpath links and poor bus frequency may be contributing to Yarra Ranges residents not making the most of existing bus services.

These factors, along with the need for improved bus services linking the shire’s urban areas with the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges townships, have been earmarked as crucial for the municipality to thrive socially and economically.

Yarra Ranges Council and The Eastern Transport Coalition are pushing for better public transport services, and with Victorian State Elections 18 months away, Cr Jim Child told the Mail it’s time for residents to think about what public transport services they need.

Footpaths are an issue, he said, with the RACV identifying Yarra Ranges as having the highest number of low-use bus stops with no footpaths - 325 in 2016 - out of 14 outer metropolitan municipalities.

Yarra Ranges also has one of the largest amounts of high use bus stops with no footpaths - 19 in 2016.

An investment of $2.8m would be required to complete the missing links.

Cr Child pointed to Woori Yallock and Launching Place primary schools where footpath links have been put in and greatly increased the ability of children and parents to walk to those schools.

“We should be able to do that with bus stops as well,” he said.

Yarra Ranges deputy mayor Len Cox said investment was needed to meet the shortfall when it came to bus services, particularly access, frequency and hours of operation.

“Bus services should have regular frequencies that are easy for our community to understand and easy to access

weekdays and extension of services on Sunday to East Warburton for Route 683 (Warburton - Chirnside Park); Provide direct/express services from Healesville, Yarra Glen and Warburton to Lilydale; Upgrade of all bus route services to meet Minimum Service Levels in terms of frequency and hours of operation. This can include aligning services to have a regular frequency of every 30 minutes to make it easier for the public to understand and New route between Seville/Wandin via Mount Evelyn via Clegg Road to service local residents and the Evelyn Ridge Retirement Village.

The council is advocating the State Government on infrastructure gaps, identifying the following areas: A lack of service coverage to and from connecting urban with outer non-urban areas; Insufficient frequency of services, particularly in the outer, non-urban areas and during off-peak periods; Lack of weekend and evening services; Poor bus to bus and bus to rail connectivity; Lack of cross municipality bus routes and Lack of pedestrian access to bus stops.

Making bus stops compliant with the Disability and Discrimination Act (DDA) is also an issue with more than half of the 800-plus bus stops for public bus routes in Yarra Ranges well below acceptable standards.

What can residents do to improve transport?

“When it comes to election time, people need to ask the question of the candidates ... “What can you do for us in regards to public transport?”

Cr Jim Child advocating for better public transport for Yarra Valley residents. 170430 Picture: ROB CAREW in terms of infrastructure,” he said.

Chandler Ward Cr Tony Stevenson said Yarra Ranges needed more buses to connect with Lilydale railway station and buses to connect people with key employment areas like Kilsyth.

The council is supporting specific bus service improvements as part of The Eastern Transport Coalition’s (ETC) Commuters Count campaign: Provision of additional evening services on weekdays and additional services on Sunday for Route 685 (Healesville - Chirnside Park) Realign routes 671 and 672 away from Billanook Way and Yarra Ridge Drive along Black Springs Road, Chirnside Park, due to restrictions associated with existing road widths that will prevent access by new larger standard buses.* Provide bus services to the Kilsyth Industrial area; Realign route 676 to remove sections along Summit Road and Alexandra Road at Lilydale;

Free us from plastic bags When I was young (in the middle of last century!) plastic was a rare and wondrous thing.

Rare, because not many things seemed to be made of it: clear plastic ballpoint pens were new, even more desirable were colourful felt-tip Textas - though toys seemed to be mainly constructed from wood or metal.

Radios were often made of that early plastic Bakelite and, of course, vinyl records were taking over from fragile 78s.

Plastic was a wondrous new material because it represented another advance for manmade science.

It could exist as a hard, or a soft material and could be manufactured into just about any shape.

School lunches were still predominantly packed in waxed paper in brown paper bags, but Tupperware promised a fashionable way of storing food and keeping it fresh.

When you went to the grocer or greengrocer, however, you took a basket or string bag, bulk food might be dispensed from big glass jars or large tins into paper bags, and anything prepackaged came in glass bottles or jars, or steel cans.

Then came the earliest supermarkets that offered you empty boxes or strong brown paper carrier bags. But apart from dead pens and dried up Textas there was very little throwaway plastic. Plastic was for permanency, not disposability.

Leap forward to today and plastic is - literally - everywhere. It’s now used, for practical and durable purposes, in just about everything , but it’s also proliferating in annoying, unnecessary and, sadly, dangerous ways.

Almost all that we buy today is enclosed, sometimes in more than one layer of plastic with items then placed by eager shop assistants in several plastic bags.

Takeaway food is often in plastic containers, lollies and chips are no longer in cellophane but in crinkly plastic, soft drinks and water are in plastic bottles and coffee is in non-degradable plastic-lined paper cups - with plastic lids.

As the recent ABC series War On Waste showed, there seems no stopping this plastic waste which is choking our environment, accumulating in landfill, clogging rivers, concentrating in huge floating ‘islands’ in oceans, and being consumed by wildlife, like fish. And guess

who eats the fish!

Shoppers and shopkeepers alike can help create a ‘Plastic Bag Free Healesville’ by shopping with baskets, boxes or re-useable bags like the Boomerang Bags that eager volunteers have been making from recycled material, or Healesville-branded platypus logo calico bags will be available throughout the town.

So, when you get out of the car, remember your keys, your money, and your carry bags.

We can make a difference for our children and grandchildren.

David Johnston, Healesville.

Government departments will never request payment of a debt via gift card or pre-paid cards, nor would they ask to be paid into a personal bank account.

Protect yourself.

Don’t be pressured into making a decision.

Be suspicious of requests for money; be suspicious of unexpected emails or letters advising

you how to claim an inheritance or competition prize.

You can report scams to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission via their report a scam page on www.scamwatch.gov.au/ report-a-scam.

Radio gets poor reception Following on from the launch of digital TV some years ago, there continues to be substantial promotion of dab+ digital radio and the availability of hifi receivers and mobile radios continues to grow.

ABC radio is promoting their dab+ service every day.

But there continues to be questions surrounding the quality of reception, such as here in the Yarra Valley.

Why would somebody buy a dab+ radio only to find when they got it home that the reception was so poor, that they wasted their money?

OK, given that, can Mail newspaper readers provide feedback about who has dab+ receivers or radios, where they’re located and whether they’re getting satisfactory reception at their home.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who’s putting off going digital with their radio purchase because of doubts about signal quality here in the valley.

Rob Harley, Healesville.

Tune in to scammers I am dismayed that my office has been contacted by a number of vulnerable people who have fallen victim to scammers.

I want to remind everyone to be alert to scammers impersonating government departments demanding iTunes gift cards as a form of debt payment.

These gift cards are part of a new tactic being used by fraudsters.

I am most concerned that older Victorians are being led to believe this is a legitimate request.

Seniors to part with the darts

War memorial guest

By Kath Gannaway More than 70 people heard Dr Brendan Nelson AO talk on his role as director of the Australian War Memorial and of the importance of Australia’s Anzac heritage at Seville on Sunday 16 July.

Dr Nelson, a guest of Casey MP Tony Smith, spoke at Wild Cattle Creek Estate in support of the Seville War Memorial project.

Chair of the Seville War Memorial Committee Anthony McAleer said the event was a great success.

“Looking around, there were very few people in the room who were not moved by his talk,” he said.

Also on display were items associated with the Light Horse Charge at Beersheba 100 years ago this year.

There was tremendous interest in the flag that was draped over the coffin of Breaker Morant, and his dog tag, and an equally impressive collection of personal objects connected to Brigadier Sir Murray William James Bourchier, CMG, DSO, VC - the commanding officer of the 4th Light Horse Regiment during their famous charge at Beersheba.

Mr McAleer said $67,000 had been raised towards the $167,000 cost of the memorial.

“The money raised so far has incorporated design, engineers’ plans and the design including test and images of the eight panels.

“The proceeds of Sunday’s event will go towards the $100,000 construction costs,” he said.

Wandin and District Senior Citizens celebrated 41 years in June, and as part of the celebrations will give away various items to the community.

Among the items is a near-perfect dart board and a dart set.

Gwen Davies secretary at Wandin Senior Citizens said that the club began over 40 years ago for local farmers to commune and relax.

Since then the community has grown and so has the club which now has around 60 members.

Gwen always invites more to join and Ray Cooper the treasurer said that the club was welcoming and friendly.

“In the area, we have quite a few people that as they get older go into their units and don’t come out, they stay indoors and what they need is the encouragement to come out,” he said.

“Here they can make friends and go on trips - we go on four trips every year, to places like Phillip Island and Queenscliff.”

The club is also offering items including a dart board and dart set, a few bowls and a bowls mats.

Gwen said they would be perfect for a youth or community group.

“Darts board cupboard which you can put on the wall and there is a darts board inside it- so we’re giving these away for our 41st birthday, to move them on to other groups or people that would like them.”

If interested, call Gwen on 9780 2100.

A champion of life to the full OBITUARY

By Kath Gannaway Jeanne Wilcox was a champion for Australian wildlife.

For those who were fortunate to know and love her, she was more than that. Jeanne was a champion for life in all its glory - animals, people and the environment.

Jeanne had already lived a full life by the time the family moved to Yarra Ranges, opening an antique/second-hand shop in Monbulk in her fifties and then taking on a role of volunteer manager of the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Centre in Healesville in 2003.

For locals and the thousands of visitors who found their way through the magical green doors of the wildlife centre, Jeanne was the pint-sized lady with the welcoming smile and authentic belief in the purpose of the not-for-profit book and second-hand shop.

The eldest daughter of Leonard and Dorothy Bretherton, Jeanne Affra Bretherton was born on 10 August, 1944.

She was a good student and won a scholarship at high school, but chose instead to start work in a bank in Melbourne.

The offer of a lift to work from a young man named Pat Wilcox sparked a romance and the couple were married on 15 February, 1962.

Moving to Deniliquin, Jeanne and Pat worked on a sheep farm and welcomed their family. Michael was their first-born,

a year later came Christopher and a year after that Cathie.

On her 21st birthday, Jeanne had three littlies under three ... and a clothesline constantly full of nappies. After some respite from toddlerdom, Danny, their youngest, arrived eight years later.

Life was happy and spontaneous with music, dancing, partying and impromptu holidays all part and parcel of family life.

With two children still at home, Pat and Jeanne returned to Melbourne and opened a number of garden centres with Jeanne at the same time studying horticulture.

Sadly, Pat passed away in 1994.

Gathered at Le Pine Funerals in Healesville on 14 June, family and friends paid tribute and heard of Jeanne’s passion for life and her penchant for living in the moment.

She loved the colour red, eschewed rules and regulations, and didn’t take herself too seriously. She was a carer by nature, and was free with her warm laughter, and infectious giggle.

Co-manager of the wildlife centre and close friend of Jeanne, Peter Hannaford, paid tribute saying she quickly made a big impact on the charity.

They discovered a deep and mutual passion for saving Australian wildlife, and worked together tirelessly to raise money to set up wildlife reserves for endangered animals and birds.

Jeanne’s favourite was the red-tailed black cockatoo - but she loved them all.

Peter said the impact Jeanne had on the charity was not surprising. “She usu-

ally made a big impact on whatever she undertook,” he said.

“At five feet tall, people who didn’t know Jeanne could make the mistake of underestimating her,” he said recalling how, on just her second day as a volunteer at the shop, she challenged a dealer who tried to tell her what he would pay for certain items he’d collected around the store.

“Jeanne raised herself up an extra inch to five foot one and told the wouldbe-opportunist exactly what he was going to pay ...and why.

“He hurriedly paid the correct money and left somewhat shaken,” Peter said.

In her first year, the shop became a business and profits doubled.

“She loved the work and in many ways was the heart and soul of the shop,” Peter said.

He spoke with emotion of her warmth and flair, saying she always wore colourful, beautiful and artistic clothes.

An initiative of Jeanne’s was the “Dogs Welcome” sign.

“Dogs were especially welcome when Jeanne was at work,” Peter said, adding that dogs would drag their owners into the shop and search the shop for Jeanne if she wasn’t at the front desk.

“We at the wildlife centre found Jeanne to be a remarkable woman who had a fulfilled and wonderful life,” he said.

As much as Jeanne loved her work, family was her first priority, and her greatest love.

She was unstinting in her love for her

Dogs had a special place in Jeanne's heart.

children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nonetheless, family members said no-one got away with anything. If you were in trouble with mum, you knew it!

Jeanne suffered a stroke in 2016 and having said goodbye to her family, passed away on 6 June, 2017, at Maroondah Hospital.

Jeanne is survived by Michael, Christopher, Cathie and Danny and their partners, nine grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

The wildlife centre is looking to fund a new $500,000 wildlife reserve which will be named the Jeanne Wilcox Reserve, and contributions can be made at the shop.

Tax time: it’s never too late businesses with their taxes, keeping businesses running smoothly and effectively.

“Small business tax also can be sorted unlodged BAS can be very expensive the requirement to be registered can be reviewed. Obligation to prepare the BAS are time consuming and should be reviewed for necessity and efficiency saving you time and money,” Ms Labahn explained.

“Record keeping for small business is necessary with the new contractor reporting system in place meaning the ATO knows a lot more about your business than you think. So let us help you brush up your business and understand the best way forward.”

For parents on certain Centrelink payments however, Ms Labahn explained that it is critical that a tax return is done every year.

“As soon as someone goes one year (without putting in a return), they are in trouble. If they are on a child payment from Centrelink, they will be asked to repay any money they have received,” Ms Labahn said.

But most of all, catching up with tax returns, before the Australian Taxation Office catches up with you, brings enormous peace of mind.

“Most people who are in that situation really worry about it,” Ms Labahn said.

“They think they are going to be in big trouble, but, really, it never works out like that.”

Of course, there is some reason to worry. The tax man is busy ... but not ‘that’ busy.

Sooner, or later, the letter will come and, some people end up in court.

You haven’t put in a tax return or BAS for a year or two ... maybe even four or five!

You’re probably not the ‘only’ person in Australia who hasn’t, and, after all, the tax man is pretty busy.

He’ll probably never even notice! You don’t even want to think about the massive interest and penalties.

So, the best thing you can do is keep a low profile and put it off for another year!

Right?

Wrong!

Wrong, wrong ... and, according to Healesville tax accountant, Michelle Labahn - wrong again!

As the principal of Michelle Labahn and Associates in Healesville and MND Accounting in Brice Avenue, Mooroolbark, Ms Labahn is a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), and a member of the National Tax and Accountants Association (NTAA).

But Ms Labahn has good news and good advice for tax procrastinators.

First: You are not alone. “It happens to more people than you think,” she said.

Second: It’s never too late. Even with missing group certificates and other documents, it can be sorted - “quickly, easily and painlessly”.

Third: Penalties for individual returns, if any, are usually minimal.

“They usually work out to be very minimal and, if the person is a wage and salary earner, often there is a refund.

“If paperwork is incomplete, you can apply for a copy of your group certificate from previous employers, or from Centrelink, or you can do a statutory declaration.”

Ms Labahn also assists and helps small

HORSES AT HOME ON 40 ACRES LOCATED on a quiet, no-through road, this secluded country oasis offers peace, privacy and an escape from it all. Wake up to pristine views of the Yarra Valley and the peaceful sounds of birds chirping every day.

This equine heaven is within easy commuting distance of Pakenham, Lilydale and the nearby suburbs. It is a short distance to Gembrook which has several great restaurants and the recently re-opened pub.

The horses will be cosy sleeping in a fully insulated, purpose-built American barn with four stables (4m x 4m), a large lock-up tack room and a feed room.

There are multiple choices of riding destinations - whether riding on the fully fenced, Olympic-sized all-weather sand arena located just a short walk from the stable block, hack out along the beautiful riding trails of the Kirth Kiln National Park or take a leisurely ride through the mostly cleared 40 acres of property.

With plenty of shedding the property also has a large machinery shed measuring 24m x 6m which has eight bays, five bays of which are fully enclosed and lockable and another shed which is currently used for wood storage.

The property has several features that cater for a self-sustainable lifestyle. A 5kW solar system with battery storage can be used as a standalone or connected to the grid, keeping your power consumption to a minimum. Water will never be a problem with ample water available from four

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

22,500-litre water tanks and a bore pump.

FASTER SELLING HOMES SHOW INCREASED DEMAND The state’s property market continues to perform strongly with homes in regional Victoria taking a median of 55 days to sell in June - 11 days less than the same period last year.

New REIV data shows homes in multiple regional towns sold significantly faster in June with the median days on market falling by double-digits over the year.

A decline in the number of days a home takes to sell typically indicates increased buyer interest in a particular town or region.

In the year to 30 June, the private sale market in the tourist town of Hepburn Springs recorded one of the largest improvements with homes selling in a median of 38 days - 68 days faster than the same period last year.

Homes also sold faster in the coastal towns

of Barwon Heads and Cowes in a median of 45 and 69 days respectively, both down by 51 days on June 2016 figures.

Kerang in the state’s north also experienced significant improvements over the year with homes spending 77 days on market in June, 37.5 days less than the same month last year.

Increased buyer interest was also recorded in Wangaratta and Ocean Grove with homes selling 33 days faster than 2016 figures in a median of 36 and 49 days respectively.

Other regional towns experiencing improvements in their private sale markets include Drouin, down 29 days over the year to a median of 32 days on market; Clifton Springs, falling 26.5 days over the year to a median of 39 days on market; Bannockburn, down 26 days over the year to a median of 49 days; and Warragul, falling 25.5 days

over the year to a median of 29 days on market.

Meanwhile, the Geelong suburb of Waurn Ponds was one of the state’s best performing private sale markets in June with homes spending just 22 days on market 20 days less than the same period last year.

This was followed by Corio and Irymple where homes spent just 27 days on the market in June, down 15 and five days respectively on June 2016 figures.

Strong private sale markets were also evident in Lara, Belmont and East Geelong with homes in these areas selling in a median of 29 days.

Rock ‘n’ roll’s in the brew

By Kath Gannaway Home-grown Healesville band The Low Down Brew will be keeping the rock ‘n’ roll dream alive at the Fluid Lounge on Saturday 22 July.

The four-man band with Brodie Jamieson on vocals, Andrew Goodwin on bass guitar, Elton Pinkston on guitar and Brendan Prout on drums, will release Made Real, its first EP, as part of a fundraiser for the Creepy Monkey Studios.

The EP was recorded at the Chum Creek studios by John Zwart and Mick Youngberry with assistance from Paul Spears and Brice Margetts.

Funds raised will help build some much-needed facilities for the studio which provides a local avenue for local bands that want to take their music to the next level.

Brendan said the band members have been mates since their teens and have been in and out of the local music scene over the years.

“We got together in 2015

to keep the rock ‘n’ roll dream alive,” he said.

Inspired by Australian hard rock bands such as AC/DC, the band writes all its own material - lyrics and music.

The inspiration for the name came from a graffiti post on a wall that Brendan said struck a chord.

“When we started we thought we don’t want anything to be fake about the band.

I saw Made Real graffitied on a wall and thought that fits what we do, no back-up tapes, no make-up, no hair spray made real, from the heart.”

While the band is very much about keeping a dream alive, and having fun doing it, it’s also about putting out some serious music.

The Low Down Brew is at the Fluid Lounge in Healesville on Saturday 22 July.

Follow the band on Facebook or phone Brendan on 0432 414 927 - the boys are available for gigs!

The Low Down Brew - made real.

Community choir’s delivering masses of music Bold as brass

By Kath Gannaway

The 2017 Massed People’s Choir and Orchestra is waiting for calls from those who want to celebrate with music and song.

The annual event, which is hosted by the Warburton Seventh-Day Adventist community, provides excitement and spontaneity for people from all around Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and sometimes interstate, coming together to play incredible music.

Nyarne Darko is music director for the event and has conducted the orchestra for the past few years.

“We usually get between 50 and 60 people for the orchestra which is made up of people who are able to read music, can follow a conductor and who just want to play in an orchestra,” Nyarne said.

“The youngest musician we have had in the orchestra was four years old, and she played for the whole day.

“It is an amazing experience, standing up in front of these wonderful people, most of whom you don’t know, who have come from all around the place,

Join the orchestra or sing as part of the mass choir at Warburton. getting together and playing amazing music.”

The choir is open to anyone who would like to sing but also has a sound structure with experienced musicians leading the soprano, alto, tenor and bass parts.

“The congregation who want to be part of the choir are seated in their groups and can number up to 400, so it’s an amazing experience,” Nyarne said.

For the orchestra, there is a mix of amateur musicians and people who are professional musicians with the basic structure and music written in parts that is easy for everyone to play.

Practice sessions are held the night before and on the morning of the concert.

“It’s quite exciting - it just works,” Nyarne said.

traditional mixed with a few more modern hymns.

With the orchestra in front of her, and the choir behind, Nyarne said she has the best seat in the house, but there are 999 more seats in the Warburton SeventhDay Adventist Church and the doors are wide open to anyone who would like to experience a massed orchestra/ choir in action.

“We all love to sing, we all love to play music, and when people can be part of something they enjoy it so much more,” Nyarne said.

To find out more about joining the choir, phone Brian Way on 0409 002 270.

To be in the orchestra, phone Nyarne on 0410 641 192.

Advance notice is required for the orchestra.

The 2017 Masses People’s Choir and Orchestra concert is at the SeventhDay Adventist Church, 3490 Warburton Highway, Warburton, on Saturday 29 July.

The service is at 11am and the concert is at 3.30pm.

Though not an overt genre parody like much of writerdirector Edgar Wright’s work, Baby Driver is still a fun, superbly crafted crime thriller.

Gifted getaway driver Baby (Ansel Elgort) sees an opportunity to get out of the robbery business, but his employer Doc (Kevin Spacey) has other ideas.

Wright has crafted a taut, suspenseful yet very funny film with compelling, nuanced characters.

The film clearly establishes Baby’s abilities and his role in Doc’s enterprise, and frames its heist escapades around a touching, endearingly awkward romance between Baby and Debora (Lily James), a waitress at Baby’s favourite diner.

As increasingly violent job partners and his relationship with Debora compel Baby to leave getaway driving for good, the narrative balances Baby’s savant-like drive and resourcefulness with the strong sense of him being in way over his head.

It’s refreshing to see a mainstream film with such a

mature, morally grey outlook.

While Baby is a kind, sensitive protagonist, the film openly acknowledges how he is exposing Debora to the fallout from his criminal lifestyle, and even the villains have sympathetic moments.

The car chases are frenetic but clean and easy to follow, and the music and camerawork have a groovy, stylised timeless quality.

Though one of Wright’s lesser films - especially compared to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz - Baby Driver is still a thrilling, deeply moving experience.

Playing for their lives!

By Cameron Hutchison Round 12 is done and dusted for Division 1, while Division 2 have put Round 13 behind them.

The business-end of the season is approaching; and while some clubs will not be playing finals this year, some are certainly playing for their lives come September.

In Division 1 - Wandin, Healesville, Olinda and Woori Yallock should play finals.

The only thing that will change will be positions on the ladder.

Upwey-Tecoma is holding on to fifth spot and you would expect them to stay in the five, but Mount Evelyn is right on their heels.

In Division 2, Belgrave are clear favourites and will remain in top spot.

There is real jostling for the other spots and the prime ones are second and third that are held

by Seville and Powelltown.

In netball, Olinda are holding fast on top of the ladder with Wandin and Woori Yallock fighting it out for second spot.

Monbulk and Warburton share fourth spot with Mount Evelyn probably their only challenger sitting in sixth.

Division 2 has Belgrave clearly on top of the ladder and firm flag favourites.

Division 1 Seniors Football Round 12 Wandin 9.9(63) d Gembrook Cockatoo 7.7(49) Wandin sit atop the ladder but were not convincing in their win over a much-improved Gembrook. Wandin started fast with a 4.4 to one behind first quarter and it looked like it was going to be a long day for Gembrook. Gembrook rallied in the second term, outscoring Wandin by eight points and the margin was 19 points at half-time.

Gembrook continued in the third quarter, kicking 3.1 to 1.4 and they were within striking distance, only 10 points shy at three-quarter time. Wandin regrouped in the last and kicked two straight to 1.2 and the win was theirs but not the most convincing heading into the back end of the season.

Wandin Best: B. Chapman, H. Byrne, A. Young, B. Harvey, T. Merlino, P. Bruzzese.

Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: E. Tomlin (1 goal), L. Scott (1 goal), D. Leversha, D. Welsh, P. Gramc (2 goals), M. Wills.

Woori Yallock 14.10(94) d Monbulk 10.6(66) Woori Yallock share third spot with Healesville after a win over Monbulk. Monbulk are sitting seventh, now two-and-a-half wins out of the five and probably looking down the barrel at this stage. Woori Yallock got the jump in the first quarter and took a slim five point lead into the second quarter. They skipped away in the second term with 5.4 to 1.1 and the lead had blown out to 32 points at the main break. Monbulk fought back in the third quarter, outscoring Woori Yallock by 11 points, but the margin was still going to be tough to claw back. Woori Yallock finished the game with four goals to three in the last and earned the win by 28 points.

Woori Yallock Best: K. Thompson, J. Matthews (5 goals), L. Boontjes, A. Marsh (3 goals), C. Smedley (1 goal), K. Busoli (2 goals).

Monbulk Best: J. Major, B. Emmett, S. Williams (1 goal), S. McBride, M. Langworthy (5 goals), A. Smith.

Mount Evelyn 17.19(121) d Emerald 14.15(99) Mount Evelyn have kept their finals hopes alive and sit in sixth spot only one win out of the five after a come from behind win against Emerald on Saturday. Emerald started off well and took the early lead kicking 6.2 to 4.5 in the first quarter and had a handy nine-point lead. Mount Evelyn showed some grit in the second term and kicked 6.5 to 4.5 to turn things around at half time and hold a three point lead. From then on, Mount Evelyn played the footy that had been avoiding them all year, kicking five goals to twin in the third quarter and their lead was 19 points at three-

quarter time. Both sides kicked two goals in the last, but the win was sealed for Mount Evelyn.

Mount Evelyn Best: K. Jones (5 goals), J. Beamish, M. Martin (2 goals), T. Chalkley (4 goals), D. Kift (1 goal), J. Barden.

Emerald Best: S. Cocks, L. Sheppard (1 goal), B. Moloney (5 goals), D. Karacsonyi, H. Lang, B. Wilson.

Upwey Tecoma 29.13(187) d Warburton Millgrove 13.7(85) Upwey Tecoma are one game clear in fifth spot after a huge morale boosting win over Warburton by 102 points. Upwey got off to a cracking start kicking 7.5 to 3.1 and the lead was 22 points at quarter time. Upwey kicked another 7.6 to 4.1 in the second term and the game was all but over at half time. The lead had blown out to 51 points and Warburton was never going to come back from that sort of deficit. Upwey Tecoma kept up the pressure and kicked another seven goals in the third quarter holding Warburton goalless.

The last quarter was much of the same with an eight goal to six last quarter. Warburton certainly played some of their best footy in the last but it was all too late. Upwey were certainly consistent over four quarters of football and have probably hit their straps at the right time.

Upwey-Tecoma Best: L. Beacom, B. Oates, J. Hackett (5 goals), D. Waters (8 goals), H. Stanley (1 goal), B. Duncan.

Warburton-Millgrove Best: T. McKail (1 goal), J. Walker, L. Barnard (1 goal), B. Clinch, A. White, T. Marr.

Healesville 14.14(98) d Olinda Ferny Creek 3.16(34) The WorkSafe Game of the Month has seen Healesville jump to second on the ladder after a somewhat surprising result in a low-scoring game on Sunday. Scoring was low from both sides in the first quarter with Olinda holding a slim lead of one point after kicking 1.4 to 1.3. Healesville made the most of the second term and kicked away with 6.4 to two behinds, and went into the main break with a 37-point lead. Olinda could not find anything in the third quarter and played well below expectations kicking 1.4 to Healesville’s 4.2. The lead was now 53 points and the way Olinda was playing they were not coming back from this. Olinda’s indirect kicking in front of goal did not help their cause in the last term as Healesville kicked 4.5 to 1.6 to finish them off.

Division 2 Seniors Football Round 13 Belgrave 19.16(130) d Seville 13.16(94) Belgrave are clear leaders at the top of the ladder after their win over Seville on Saturday.

Belgrave kicked 4.6 to 2.6 in the first term and took a handy lead of 12 points into the second quarter. They extended that lead to 38 points at half time by kicking 5.5 to 1.3 and it was going to be tough work for Seville to bounce back. They rallied in the third term outscoring Belgrave by 19 points and reduced the margin to 19 points. It was a high-scoring last quarter with Belgrave kicking eight goals while Seville chimed in with five of their own but the day belonged to Belgrave.

Belgrave Best: T. Marks (6 goals), J. Schill (1 goal), T. Stubley (2 goals), J. McDermott, M. Brown (1 goal), D. Loosz.

Seville Best: N. O’Keefe (7 goals), L. Casini (1 goal), J. Nolan, P. Bailey, J. Wilson, B. Penwill.

Powelltown 17.12(114) d Alexandra 10.8(68) Powelltown are sitting one game clear of Yarra Glen in third position after a good win over fifth-placed Alexandra. Powelltown kicked 5.2 to 2.2 in the first term to take a lead of 18 points at quarter-time. Both sides kicked five goals in the second quarter and the game was still in Powelltown’s favour at half-time. Powelltown kicked

An on-song Belgrave asserted its authority over Seville. 170642 three goals to one in the third term and it was all Powelltown. Alexandra would need to play some extraordinary football if they were going to get back into this game. Another 4.6 to 2.1 last quarter in Powelltown’s favour sealed the result, and the Demons deserve their third place position on the ladder. Powelltown Best: J. Rohan, J. Walker, J. Moore, T. Hallmark, R. Johnson, B. Jackson.

Alexandra Best: R. Norris (2 goals), J. Brereton, J. Purcell, B. Woollard, L. Ragg, J. Elkington.

Yarra Junction 23.13(151) d Thornton Eildon 6.2(38) Yarra Junction has racked up their fourth win for the season after accounting for Thornton by 113 points. Yarra Junction held Thornton scoreless in the first term while they kicked 6.5 and had a commanding lead of 41 points at quartertime. Thornton came out and kicked three goals in the second quarter but Junction kicked another nine to put the game well and truly out of reach of Thornton. The third term was a reasonably tight contest with only seven goals being kicked but the lead at three-quarter time was 87 points. Yarra Junction held Thornton goalless in the last, kicking four themselves. The Eagles shared the load well with 12 goal kickers for the day.

Yarra Junction Best: T. Armstrong (2 goals), J. Taylor, J. Swinden (4 goals), A. Chandler (2 goals), T. Boxell (2 goals), R. Bombinski (3 goals).

Thornton-Eildon Best: B. Wratten (1 goal), T. Keating, J. Ashby, J. Strachan, D. Creed (2 goals), B. Musgrove.

Yarra Glen 16.19(115) d Yea 9.9(63) Yarra Glen is one-and-a-half games clear of Kinglake in fourth position after a win over Yea on Saturday. Yarra Glen started strong kicking 4.5 to 1.1 in the first term and took a lead of 22 points at quarter-time, and they looked like they were in for a big day. They managed to kick 3.5 to 2.4 in the second quarter and extend their lead to 29 points at half-time. Accuracy was plaguing them and the margin could have been insurmountable if they kicked straight. Yea came out full of run in the third term kicking 3.2 to a mere 1.5 to reduce the three-quarter time margin to only 20 points.

Yea fought hard in the last but it wasn’t until red time that Yarra Glen finally got their team game going. They kicked away with an eight goal quarter and ended up with a win by 52 points at the final siren.

Yarra Glen Best: J. Marks, J. Clare (2 goals), T. Russell, B. Binion (1 goal), B. Ashton (1 goal), C. Tait.

Woori Yallock 13.6(84) d Monbulk 7.6(48) Woori Yallock is sitting sixth after their win on Saturday and Monbulk are sitting half a game out of the eight. Woori Yallock got off to a fast start kicking four goals to 2.2 in the first term. They broke the game open in the second quarter with 4.2 to 3.1 and a lead of 17 points at half-time. An even third term only increased their margin to 18 points at three-quarter time. Woori Yallock kicked away in the last with three goals to zip in the last and a handy 36-point win.

AFL greats boost gates

By Effie Caloutas The Yarra Ranges community flocked to see AFL football legends Peter Knights and Brent Harvey speak at a special luncheon before the Worksafe Game of the Month between Healesville and Olinda at the Don Road Complex on Sunday 16 July.

Many local footy fans, umpires, and dignitaries were treated to a spread of food and drink by the Healesville Football Club, while listening to the Worksafe ambassadors speak before the blockbuster clash at 2.30pm.

In his first year as Worksafe Ambassador, North Melbourne champion Brent ‘Boomer’ Harvey said that spreading the message about work safety across local communities was crucial.

“Sending a really strong message to the community is an important thing, and the way they do it on the back of football that everybody loves I think is a great way of doing it,” he said.

“Spreading that message to be safe is a really important message for everybody.”

Hawthorn legend Peter Knights said it was important for Worksafe to spread a positive message across local footy and netball clubs.

“I think for Worksafe and AFL Vic Country to have this combination, this partnership, in a reference to farm safety is a wonderful message, a wonderful fit,” he said.

“The most important discipline when we talk about footy and netball or team sports is looking after one an-

The legends mixed in with the local community, posing with young kids and Worksafe cards to promote the ‘I will speak up about safety at work’ message.

The Worksafe ambassadors were also part of presenting giveaways to local footy fans at half-time including the post-match presentations where they presented the best on ground medal to Healesville captain Ashraf Davies.

Healesville Football Club presi-

dent Felix Fraraccio was overwhelmed by the occasion, and said that hosting the Worksafe Game of the Month was excellent for the footy club and the local community.

“To have Worksafe give us a game like this, clubs are always looking for the little bit extra, to get more people through the gates,” he said.

“Worksafe and all you people, we thank you enormously. This is great for our club, and our town.”

Healesville now sits in second position after their emphatic 64-point victory over Olinda Ferny Creek.

Motoring Mentors empower young A program supporting young people across the Yarra Ranges to obtain their driver’s licence has continued to attract support in the community, with local organisations sponsoring the L2P program.

The L2P program pairs volunteer mentors with young people who face significant barriers in gaining their 120 hours needed for their probationary licence.

Mooroolbark Community Bank, Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Banks and Anchor have provided support totalling almost $11,000 for the program’s coming year.

Yarra Ranges Council Mayor Noel Cliff said the L2P program was essential, helping young people to learn valuable driving skills from supportive mentors.

“Driving is one of the most frequent things

L2P mentors help to empower young people, develop their potential and build their resilience, and council is seeking volunteers to step up to the role.

Mentors must hold a full Victorian driver’s licence, undertake a police check, working with children’s check and a driver history check, undertake a VicRoads training program and be interested in helping young people in their community.

For more information about the L2P program, and to express interest in volunteering, visit www. yarraranges.vic.gov.au/community/youth/L2P.

that we do as adults, and can be one of the most dangerous,” Cr Cliff said.

“Many of us take for granted the safe driving skills we picked up while learning to drive, and, through L2P, young people are taught those valuable skills by their mentor, preparing them for the rest of their adult lives.

“Young people in the Yarra Ranges, including the Upper Yarra area, have limited transport options.

“Having a licence means being able to travel to work and to go out and enjoy themselves.”
