Kelley-Page Kelly and her husband Jamie bought a 12-acre property in Victoria Road, Gruyere, in 2012. Ms Kelly told the Tuesday 28 August Yarra Ranges Council meeting that the rural retreat had two dwellings, "perfect for the future of our family". "We were thrilled at the prospect of my parents to be able to retire with us in the privacy of their own cottage, but close enough to enjoy our four children, farm animals and lovely environment," she said. "The previous owner Gale Thornton was kind enough to supply us with the relevant stamped council authorised plans for an extension to one of the dwellings carried out in 1996. "We also received various receipts and a building permit for the above-mentioned works. "On that permit it clearly states that the property has two dwellings. "To us as purchasers, we didn't need to question any of the legalities regarding the two dwellings as it was evident that the council were already aware." But in December 2016, the Kellys applied for a planning permit for renovations and found out the council had no record of two houses on the land. The land was zoned green wedge in 2002, and this allows only one dwelling to be built on the property after that date. They had to apply for a certificate of compliance and prove the house had been there beforehand. Council officers recommended refusing the permit, citing "lack of evidence for continuous use across 15 years". "The evidence provided by the applicant is

heavily reliant on the statutory declarations to bridge the time period back to 13 December 2001," the report said. "During this time period the applicant has not been able to provide any hard evidence that specifically refers to the second dwelling in dispute. "There is essentially no strong evidence which demonstrates continuous use of the second dwelling during the relevant time period." Ms Kelly said she submitted statutory declarations from previous occupants, electricity bills showing separate meters at each dwelling, a building permit nominating two dwellings on the site plan, receipts and invoices from the previous owner for works to the dwellings and old photos. "The old owner gave me copies of receipts from septic cleanouts and termite reports," she said. "We had so much documentation." Cr Fiona McAllister agreed and successfully moved that the council instead approve the permit. "We have clear evidence in front of us tonight that it was built as a dwelling and exists as a dwelling," she said. "We need to be very confident before we take away someone's private property rights." She said common sense and the evidence should prevail. "They sought to do the right thing and have ended up caught up in an incredibly difficult and stressful situation," she said. Cr Terry Avery said he visited the property and the homes had clearly been there - and used - for a long time. "Are we trying to retrospectively make them comply to something that when it was built, was non-existent?" he asked.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

Covering the foothills of the Yarra Ranges & Murrindindi Shires

The editor’s desk Our nation's leadership feels like a running joke that's passed its use-by date. We're now up to six Prime Minister switches in eight years. If you're struggling to name them all - let alone remember them in order - I'm sure you're not alone. (For the record, John Howard lost to Kevin Rudd at the 2007 election. Julia Gillard successfully challenged Rudd for the leadership in 2010. Rudd reclaimed the position in 2013 but lost the election to Tony Abbott later that year. Abbott lost a leadership challenge to Malcolm Turnbull in 2015, and he lost to Scott Morrison last month.) Like the state-level political sniping I wrote about back in July, this in-fighting and power-grabbing is causing voters to tune out. The round-the-clock coverage on our television screens isn't helping. A new titbit of gossip becomes an hours-long discussion in a bid to find a new angle and keep the story ticking along. Reporters appear to be grasping at straws, desperate for a fresh take while they wait for some genuine news to emerge. Politicians are at pains to stress their "full support" for whoever's at the helm, before bringing out the knife days later. How can voters believe anything they say? Politicians at all levels are being tarnished, as Yarra Ranges Councillor Tony Stevenson pointed out at last week's council meeting. Our representatives in Canberra need to get on with the job of actually representing their constituents, and not their own aspirations and allegiances. - Casey Neill

LETTERS INSTA-PIC Praise for TRIP Congratulations to Magistrate Tim Walsh for your story in the Mail written by Kath Gannaway on Tuesday 28 August. This story should be compulsory reading for all teenager students, at all schools. Geoff Sands, Emerald.

Daffodil Day thank-you I wish to thank all the people of Healesville who supported the recent Daffodil Day Appeal on 24 August. The two stalls located in the Main Street and at The Walk raised $5,155.85 towards a cancer-free future. Many of us have been affected personally by cancer, and it was humbling listening to persons who are travelling this difficult journey, and for their carers who support loved ones, and share the pain. We also rejoiced with those in the community who have recovered from cancer. My sincere thank-you to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves, and their time, to sell daffodils and merchandise. Beth Honeycombe, Daffodil Day Co-ordinator, Healesville.

$4.4m in fire wake The wellbeing of people in communities affected by the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, and the emergency service and others involved, will be a priority as government bodies and communities plan to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the life-changing event. The Victorian government today (Monday, 3 September) announced $4.4 million dollars in funding to support anniversary activities in the more than 78 Victorian communities directly impacted saying communities would have a voice in how that anniversary is observed. The funding will support a state memorial service and a grants program for local community commemoration and creative arts projects. A range of mental health and psychological services and support will also be provided throughout the commemoration period. "These catastrophic events still impact on many of our communities today and it is important we allow those communities to commemorate this anniversary in their own way," Minister for Emergency Services, James Merlino said. "Remembering these tragic events is important so we can honour those who died, those who lost their homes and were displaced, and the people who prevented further loss and destruction." The CFA joined the government and other key stakeholders at the launch and welcomed the focus on the wellbeing of communities and emergency services personnel who were directly impacted. CFA Chief Officer Steve Warrington said the CFA had commenced discussions with impacted brigades and communities to provide support as they prepare for what he described as a significant anniversary.

Former Premier John Brumby will head the Advisory Group. He spoke with students and bushfire survivors at Healesville High School in the week after the fires. 184847 "As we approach 10 years since those deadly bushfires, CFA has our people and the communities we serve at the core of our commemoration planning. "Our priority is to ensure CFA people have the support they need," Chief Officer Warrington said. He said while it was important to note that while the 2019 anniversary was a significant date of remembrance for the entire state, it will be challenging for those involved both on Black Saturday, and in the aftermath. The Honourable Linda Dessau AC, Governor of Victoria, has been appointed as the Patron for the state's commemorations of the anniversary and in that role will visit bushfireaffected communities to hear about their challenges and help mark their achievements in recovery. An advisory panel, chaired by former Premier John Brumby and including former

Deputy Premier and Minister for Police and emergency Services Pat McNamara, Ms Susan Pascoe AM and Mr Ben Hubbard has been created. The panel will provide advice to the Government on anniversary planning to ensure the needs of impacted communities, as well as the broader Victorian public, are met. Additional resources have been made available for support throughout the anniversary period, including for schools and emergency personnel. "We look forward to working closely with bushfire-affected communities and local government over the next six months to ensure the commemoration of this time reflects the community's wishes," Mr Merlino said. Visit vic.gov.au/2009-bushfires for more information about the ten-year anniversary including grants programs, and details of the State Memorial Service.

Olympic athlete calls Don Valley home By Lindy Schneider Cross country skier Casey Wright, from Don Valley, has taken a short break from her training and studies in Alaska to visit family and friends in the Yarra Valley. She competed in her first Winter Olympics in two events as part of the Australian ski team in PyeongChang, South Korea, in February. At 23 years of age, she is completing a degree in sports science at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and anticipates graduating in May next year. Casey spends more than 700 hours a year in training and completes many four-hour plus training sessions to build a solid fitness base. She enjoys cross training and whether at home in Don Valley or in Alaska, she can be found outdoors mountain biking, trail running, mountain running and road cycling. “I grew up training in these mountains and love being back among the gum trees,” she said. “My parents are both outdoor education teachers so I’ve skied and enjoyed the out-

Casey Wright. doors since I was a child.” While on her break in the Yarra Valley she has taken time to speak to children at Don Valley, Yarra Junction and Woori Yallock primary schools. She shared stories of life as an Olympic cross country skier and encouraged children

to chase their dreams. “Cross country skiing is not a high profile sport in Australia,” she said. “There’s not a huge amount of support for the sport, so reaching a top level is an achievement in itself.” Casey will return to Alaska to prepare for the northern hemisphere winter and competitive season. She will compete with the University of Alaska Ski team in the Rocky Mountains Intercollegiate Ski Association (RMISA), which allows her to develop at “the front end of the pack as a competitive skier” against high-end teams from Denver, Colorado and Utah. “It’s a great step toward racing full time in Europe one day,” she said. Her sights are now firmly set on Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Casey finished 63rd in the Ladies’ Sprint Classic and 81st in the 10km Free in PyeongChang. “I’m determined. I’ve found what I love to do and I give 110 per cent,” she said.

IN BRIEF Bike theft investigation Healesville Police are investigating thefts from rural properties, including the theft of two mountain bikes. Between 1 and 29 August thieves broke into a locked shed at the rear of property in Chalet Road, Badger Creek, and made off with an Apollo Shoreline worth $500 and a specialised grey and green Rockhopper mountain bike worth $1500. The Apollo has been found, but police are still keen to locate the other bike. In another theft at a property on Healesville-Kooweerup Road, between 4.15pm on 29 August and 6.50am on 30 August, thieves forced entry into a shed and stole a brushcutter. Sergeant Stewart Thomson said investigations were also continuing into recent burglaries in Healesville where thieves broke into two businesses and stole cigarettes. “These were between 3.55am and 4.05am in the morning, a time that there are a few cars about, but early enough not to be noticed,” he said. “We’re asking people to be vigilant if they are around at that time of the morning and see anything - cars or people - that seems suspicious, to get details and pass them on to police." Anyone with information about any of the above thefts should call Healesville Police on 5962 4422 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Speedsters caught Yarra Glen police caught two speedsters within 15 minutes of one another. On 25 August, a 46-year-old Pakenham man had his license suspended for six months after he was allegedly caught doing 102kmh in a 60 zone. Police allegedly detected the man speeding along Healesville-Yarra Glen Road, Yarra Glen. They issued him with six demerit points and a $604 fine. Only 15 minutes later, police detected yet another speedster travelling along the same stretch of road at 95kmh. The 41-year-old Sunbury man had his license suspended for one month and received four demerit points and a $524 fine.

Excavator stolen Police said thieves stole a five-tonne Hitachi excavator valued at $60,000 between 3am and noon on 24 August from a home in Hutchinson’s Road, Yarra Glen. Yarra Glen Sergeant Richard Coulson said that "given the weight of the excavator, a truck or large heavy-duty trailer would have been used in the theft". He urged anyone with information to contact Yarra Glen Police on 9730 1296.

Keeping your pets safe At Animal Aid we know that the best way to keep your pets happy, healthy and safe is to ensure they are secured in your property. We regularly encounter members of the community who believe that cats who aren't able to roam freely outdoors aren't content and don't live fulfilled lives. This is simply untrue. Many indoor cats enjoy longer, healthier, stress-free lives when compared to their outdoor cat counterparts. It must also be noted that many local councils require your cat to be confined to your property at all times or during the evening and night. Outdoor cats can have territory disputes with other cats which increases the likelihood

Animal

aid Mark Menze Animal Aid CEO of contracting feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) among other serious diseases. Fleas, ticks, ringworm, injuries, some cancers, exposure to poisons and traffic accidents

can all be easily avoided by keeping your cat safely contained on your property. Young cats and kittens generally adapt very well to an indoor lifestyle. Some adult cats may initially be uncomfortable with the change but by providing an enriching environment that allows your cat to play and explore, you will give your cat the best chance of a happy, healthy and safe life. Depending on your property, cat proofing your fence could be a great option to give your cat outside access. There are a number of changes you can make to your fences that will prevent your cat fleeing, but be sure to trim overhanging trees and shrubs and remove objects from the fence line that could be used as escape routes.

If altering your fence isn't an option for you, an 'attached enclosure' could make for an ideal solution. This enclosure would give your cat access to its favourite spots whilst retaining the ability to retreat inside via a window or cat door, to escape the weather or any potential threats. This can be constructed from a light frame covered by netting or purchased ready-made. Do ensure your cat is microchipped and registered with your details up to date - if by chance your cat does escape the Animal Aid team will be able to quickly get in contact and get your precious puss home. Call the Animal Aid Cattery team on 8756 1300 with any questions.

Parks Victoria, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), and the Haining Farm Implementation Working Group are holding a drop-in information session on Saturday, 8 September, to provide for community input into future improvements planned for Haining Farm. The session will provide updates on the current works and the opportunity to provide feedback on detailed designs for proposed future. There will also be tours of the works that are currently underway to construct wetlands in the north-west of the farm. Parks Victoria Executive Director Melbourne, Craig Stubbings, encouraged people to have a say. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a new public space and it’s important that the community helps to shape the future of Haining Farm for the long-term benefit of the local community and future generations,� he said. “We would like to encourage the community to make the most of the opportunity and get involved and let us know your thoughts on visitor facilities, the Woodland buffer and also any community ideas about the types of community activities in the reserve longer term.� The drop in session will be from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday, 8 September at Haining Farm, Don Road, Don Valley. Those unable to attend can view the concept plans and provide feedback online until the submission period closes on the 14 September, 2018. The Haining Farm Concept Plan was released by DELWP and Parks Victoria in September 2017.

Speed plant By Michael Doran Yarra Ranges Landcare Network is hosting a novel way of combining two passions - looking after the environment and meeting that someone special. Landcare for Singles organiser Anne Fitzpatrick from Yarra Ranges Landcare Network described the event as ‘speed planting’ or ‘do you plant here often?’ It will run from 10am to 2.30pm on Sunday 16 September at Coronation Park in Healesville. “The day is about having fun, meeting new people and getting down and dirty while enhancing the Watts River environment,” Ms Fitzpatrick said. “Even if you don’t meet your match, at least you will feel fantastic for having done something for your local environment.” She revealed that she met her own partner of three years at a Landcare for Singles event, so

anything was possible on that front. On the planting front, there will be help for novices, and speed planting with a new partner and a new plant every eight minutes will ensure a steady stream of new people to meet. After the environment has been taken care of, a free lunch is promised with the chance to mingle and perhaps tend to the matters of the heart. Ms Fitzpatrick told the Mail that women usually showed up in greater numbers, but she hoped that adding a gumboot tossing activity would encourage more men to get involved. Partnering on the event is Yarra Ranges Council and Organic Fusions. Registration is required for catering purposes at www.yarrarangeslandcare.org.au or on Facebook. Plants, food and company are provided. Participants just need to bring wet-weather gear, a hat, sturdy footwear, water and optimism.

Heidi was in second place on 1600 Facebook likes and jumped up by 700 to hold her edge after the Mail shared her story. Her colourful entry showed what recyclable items were used to make the furniture and a creative image of her friends enjoying the setting.

Reduce your power bills A power for good in the right hands! Hi-five for Heidi Sharp whose school holiday project will see her and her Yarra Junction Primary School friends sitting pretty on a new outdoor furniture setting.

Energy expert Tim Forcey shared a tip with the Dandenong Ranges Renewable Energy Association for coping in a cold snap. Pump up the heat and save, was his advice. “As reported by the University of Melbourne and others, heating with a reverse-cycle air con-

ditioner can be far cheaper than heating with gas,” he said. “A reverse-cycle air-conditioner is a heat pump that is able to collect free heat from the air outside your home. That is why it can be the cheapest heating option.“

Spill’s flow-on effect Yarra Ranges Councillor Tony Stevenson gave politicians in Canberra a serve at the Tuesday 28 August council meeting, following the Liberal Party leadership spill. He said the leadership changes from both sides of politics over the past 10 years “doesn’t reflect well on this nation”. “It does diminish the way people see the value of elected officials such as ourselves,” he said. “We’ve got a very special set of people here.

“The councillors I have the honour of serving with have a completely different attitude when it comes to their community.”

Asked and answered Lillydale Lake, Shire of Lillydale, Lilydale the suburb ... ever wondered about the difference in spelling? A poster on a local Facebook noticeboard did, and other members were able to offer up an explanation. The Mail checked it out and found the same answer. The suburb was originally named after Melba Highway resident Lilly de Castella, and the second ‘L’ fell away some years later. Why the lake and shire held onto it - that’s still unclear.

Licensed to look around By Kath Gannaway An 2015 application for an exploration licence over a significant area of land around Badger Creek has been granted to Caulfield-based company Nugget and Stone Pty Ltd. The original area was advertised as approximately 44 square kilometres, located two kilometres south of Healesville however, Healesville Sanctuary has been excised from the licence. The Healesville Action Group which made a submission when the application was advertised three years ago received notification of the approval last week with details of the scope of the licence which confirmed that the licensee intends to explore for gold. HAG president John Anwin said while there

were some puzzling aspects to the permit there were also some very stringent conditions and it does not confer any right to start mining activities. "The reality is, with all the conditions, it's hard to imagine that it would come to anything," he said. A spokesperson for Earth Resources Regulation said under a the exploration licence Nugget and Stone Pty Ltd are permitted to undertake low-impact activities such as mapping, soil sampling and analysis of existing data, in the defined area. "The licence area does not include the Healesville Sanctuary or come within 100 metres of the site," he said. "An additional work plan would need to be approved should any drilling be required in

the future," he said. Under the conditions outlined in the letter to HAG, the licence holder must obtain consent from the owner of occupier of land to enter their land, or enter into a compensation agreement with them for any loss or damage. They must also comply with a number of conditions around risk to the environment and property, providing a bond, consultation with the community and obtain a separate mining or prospecting licence before any mining can occur. The Department advised that exploration licences are generally issued for five years, with the option to renew the licence usually for a further five years. A full minerals exploration program typically takes up to five years or longer with, at

best, one in 300 exploration licences proceeding to a mining operation. Land-owners in Badger Creek and Healesville whose properties come under the exploration licence may find some reassurance in the information provided by the Department that if a significant deposit is found and a mining licence applied for, the process for approval to mine is "very rigorous" and takes years! It would also involve "extensive consultation with communities" and members of the public have the right to lodge objections and make submissions. The licence application is EL006005 - Nugget and Stone Pty Ltd. For more information visit http:// earthresources.vic.gov.au/earth-resourcesregulation .

Hay to help out in the east By Casey Neill Rotarians and Yarra Valley farmers have now sent 120 hay bales to drought-affected farmers in East Gippsland. The Mail reported on 21 August that the Rotary Club of Lilydale was sending 78 bales of hay to Bairnsdale plus $6000 in grain and fuel vouchers. President Ron Haines said that with help from the Rotary Club of Healesville and Yarra Valley farmers, that number had grown to 120 bales. "The Rotary Club of Lilydale has also donated a further $6000 for grain and fuel vouchers, with several transport companies donating their trucks for transportation of the hay - this has been a huge saving." The Rotary Club of Bairnsdale is co-ordi-

nating the donations, which have reached farmers in Orbost, Buchan, Marlo, Cabbage Tree and Orbost. Mr Haines received a report from Bairnsdale Rotary secretary Gillian Reeve that the donation had been warmly received. "As Gillian stated, the extent of the drought cannot be underestimated as some farmers have now run out of feed and they now see some of the cows walking away from their calves due to lack of feed," he said. "Farmers are dealing with no feed, cattle starving, drought conditions, and the mental health issues that all go along with this." Call Mr Haines on 0412 252 344 to support the relief effort. "Every dollar we receive goes directly to the farmers in East Gippsland," he said.

Farmers collect the donated hay in Bairnsdale.

Rev - a gift to Healesville Rev Dipaloko came to Healesville 20 years ago as a refugee and became a loved and respected part of community life. He valued the freedom of expression that Australia offered, and the sense of community that Healesville offered. Long-time friend Kath Holton’s tribute recognises a beautiful and remarkable man. Rev ‘William’ Dipaloko was born in the small village of Kyoak, Myanmar on 1 March, 1942. Sometime later, the village was burnt down by communist insurgents, and then his mother died; by the age of six he was an orphan. His grandfather placed him in a Buddhist Monastery where Rev grew up with the Monks and the daily chores and rituals of a Monastic life. He learnt Buddhism; he studied the teachings and mantras of The Buddha, learnt to meditate and eventually ordained as a Monk himself. But life in the Monastery was sheltered and he had little knowledge of the wider world so at the age of 19, without telling anyone, he disrobed and “ran away” to experience life in the outside world. Embracing his new-found freedom, he returned to his love of learning, he went back to school and matriculated, before enrolling in the Institute of Medicine in Rangoon. He studied there for seven years, graduating with a Bachelor of Medicine and a Bachelor of Surgery and spent the next seven years practicing as a Doctor. During these years he married and had a family. He divorced and in 1983, after much contemplation he returned to the life of a Buddhist Monk. In 1992 in honour of his skills and work in Buddhist Literature, the Government offered him the title “The Greatest Buddhist Teacher” but he was affectionately known as “Doctor Monk.” In 1993 at the request of the Burmese foundation of Western Australia, the Burmese Government and the Buddhist Council of Burma,

he was sponsored to go to Perth to teach Buddhism in a Burmese Temple. When the military junta seized power. It was no longer safe for Rev to return home, he had lost the support of the Government and the Buddhist community. Finally, in 1997 he was granted political asylum and made his way to Victoria. He enrolled in Holmesglen TAFE and gained his Certificate in English & Vocational Studies, then taught Buddhism there. He made the difficult decision to disrobe and become a Lay Buddhist and moved to Healesville in 1998. People began to call him Rev, so he officially changed his name to Rev Dipaloko. He quickly immersed himself in the life of our community teaching Buddhism and computers at the U3A, he became an Australian Citizen on Australia Day in 1999, and attended every ANZAC and Remembrance Day ceremony. He was well known as a kind, generous, thoughtful soul who never passed up an opportunity to help others, never judged others and treated all he met with respect and compassion. He had a wonderful sense of humour. Black Saturday, was a huge turning point for Rev. Until then he had always dreamed in his native tongue, Burmese, but after the fires he began to dream in English. On a deeply subconscious level, he had come to understand that Healesville was his home and where he wanted to remain. In 2016, Rev was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. His life took on a renewed purpose; he said he thanked his cancer for reminding him that he was going to die and that Buddhism was his purpose in life. He returned to the practices of a Monk. He gave up all worldly pursuits and pursued the Vipassana - to end the cycle of old age, sickness, death and rebirth. Rev said he wanted this life to be his last.

Rev was pleased to be counted as an Australian citizen in the 2016 Census. 184826 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY He underwent chemo therapy but said it clouded his brain and, importantly, he couldn’t mediate. So, he stopped having treatment, saying he was not afraid to die. For two years his Buddhist practices sustained him.

Rev passed away peacefully on 18 July 2018. Rev’s ashes have been scattered in the sea; he said: “It doesn’t matter if it’s in the bay, the sea, the ocean, or a river, it is all joined up, all is one.”

TRIP - the mother’s story By Kath Gannaway "The picture you see on the screen is the very one we used for his service". The 500 or so people at the 2018 Teenage Road Information Program (TRIP), most of them young people, were looking at a treasured photo of Charlie Robertson. His mum, Sally Millar, was the final speaker on the night and once again was bravely standing at the front of the room at Heritage & Heritage Funerals in Woori Yallock. "The last time I stood up here the room was full, overflowing," she said. "It was the 23rd of April, 2015, and I was up here farewelling my son. It was his funeral." Charlie, 21, was the passenger, along with five other people in a 4WD that crashed and rolled on 10 April, 2015. The group had been at a local pub celebrating a mate's birthday and decided to continue the party at a house in Hoddles Creek. The car was overloaded and apparently none was wearing seatbelts. "Charlie has been brought up to wear his seat belt. I thought it was a given," she said. All the details around the crash came out in horrific detail in the County Court in 2017. The graphic details of Charlie's death, the injuries and life-long effects of the other passengers, and the prison sentence for the driver who was over the limit and entered the fatal bend on Milners Road, Launching Place, faster than the advisory speed. Sally was doing a sleepover shift at work when she took a call in the early hours of the morning from a young girl asking if she had heard from Charlie. She started to make calls. "No-one could give me a concrete answer. "Charlie would not answer. "The police said they would call back, no-one could tell me where he was.

Charlie Robertson died in a car crash in 2015. "Yes, there had been an accident. "Yes, Charlie may have been involved" and the dialogue went on. Charlie's sister Jacci has been out with friends and was stopped at the road block. She didn't know as she sat waiting that her brother lay dead on the road just ahead of her. Sally spoke of every emotion, every physical response - shrieking, crying, breaking, and demanding to know why the police were lying to her. She told of the pain to telling Jacci, Charlie's father, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends and workmates. "The reality became a hell ride of unimagina-

ble loss and surviving each impossible moment. "It still seems unbelievable, unbearable and I often feel I am only one breath away from breaking completely; but I don't, " she said. She spoke of the 'what ifs' and 'whys'. She has been told the crash took only four seconds to unfold from entering the bend to the car coming to rest on its roof. "I think it started sooner than that," she said. "It's just that none of those kids were paying attention and none of them saw it coming. "I often wonder at just what point did the likelihood of the crash become inevitable; was it when the driver entered the corner, probably too fast? When the driver lost control, when they all

piled in, overloaded, no seat belts and the driver over the limit? "Was it when the driver decided to have the drink that took him over the limit?" she asks. "When they all had that one drink that affected them so they stopped thinking about their safety? "Was it when the driver ignored suggestions he was over the limit?" She takes some deep breaths and asks the question no parent ever wants to contemplate, and which will never go away. "I also often wonder when, or if, Charlie ever realised he was in deep trouble and things were not going to be OK." "I'll never know - but every time, the one thing I come back to is the decisions those kids made - each and every one contributing to the tragedy. "It never had to happen. It needn't have happened," she says imagining what it could have been - laughing about the near miss and how the driver nearly lost it on the way. "This time they paid deeply ... we all did," Sally says softening her voice and adding that none of them meant any harm. She paid tribute to her beautiful boy and explains the daisy tattoo on her arm which reminds her of how quickly the seemingly simplest trip can become an irreversible tragedy and the need for constant vigilance as a driver. "It reminds me of my beautiful, lost boy and how the crash changed my life forever." TRIP is a combined response by Yarra Valley emergency services - CFA, SES, Police and Ambulance to the tragic loss of young lives on Yarra Ranges' roads. Other speakers on 1 August were Paramedic Jason Callanan, Detective Sgt Mark Amos from the Major Collision Investigation Unit, Gruyere CFA volunteer and Group Officer Andrea Bigham, and Magistrate Tim Walsh.

Team members Yvonne, Julie, Nigel, Julia and Shannan. 184702

Growing future gardeners For over 42 years, the Black Spur Nursery has been supporting Healesville's cottage and commercial gardeners. Current owner and manager, Yvonne Van Cuylenberg, has a passion for plants and gardening and wants to see this get passed on to the next generation of gardeners in Healesville. In fact, Yvonne has a unique and friendly offer for local primary school age children in Healesville. "When mum and dad come in and make a purchase, (children) will be given a plant for their very own to plant and really get them started on the road to becoming great gardeners themselves," Yvonne said.

Onsite, Black Spur Nursery have the services of trained horticulturist, Nigel, who is on hand to help out with questions about starting and maintaining a healthy garden. And staff member Julie Sharp, who has a diploma of horticulture and landscape design, is always ready to chat and pass her knowledge onto customers. "Julie has been with the nursery for 17 years and over that time has picked up an encyclopaedic knowledge of the various issues that can confront the gardener and what possible solutions may be," Yvonne said. Team member Shannon is also on hand to advise and show customers the full range of

mulches, garden rockery and pebbles as well. "Onsite there is a full range of plants right from seedlings and bulbs to advanced trees, hedging and screening trees in a wide variety of sizes and shapes," Yvonne said. "A complete range of pesticides and fertilizers is available (organic and inorganic), along with confident advice as to the best usage of these items with regards to their safety for both pets and people alike." The team will also be able to guide customers through the massive range of tomato varieties on stock for the cottage gardener "With a well-stocked gift shop and onsite

Interflora florist, this means that you can pick up a gift for someone special or a personally tailored flower arrangement for that special event or celebration," Yvonne said. "When you visit make sure you check out the onsite nursery cafe which has great food, great coffee and a tasty local made menu made from local ingredients. "It's an old saying but very true in the case of Black Spur Nursery; 'do yourself a favour and get in and catch up with an old friend and see what's new.'"

Food for body and soul too By Kath Gannaway

Up Country Band - Graham Chasemore on drums with (from left)Graham Phillpot, Rob Veereveld, Leo Dalton, Patrick Wallis and Roger Nash. 184717 Picture: Rob Carew.

Country bands jam By Kath Gannaway The Upwey Country Music Club returns to Healesville on Sunday, 16 September, for the Annual Healesville SES Fundraiser Show. The show has been a great crowd-pleaser for almost a decade, and raised valuable funds for the Healesville State Emergency Service. The UCMC house band, Up Country Band, will lead a program of artists including The Reflections, Pott Luck, The James Gang, Harmonics, Grandsons Of The Pioneers, Leanne Le Frantz and Movin' On for a packed afternoon of country music.

Band member Graham Chasemore said the event is a favourite with the UCMC band and with other country music performers. "We go to the RSL in Healesville every year with continuous music from 12.30pm to 5pm which includes classic country, some bluegrass and some folk; it really depends on the artists who come along on the day," Graham said. As the event has cemented itself in the local country music circuit, the audience has grown in popularity with Yarra Ranges country music enthusiasts as well as drawing keen fans from the suburbs.

Graham said the club enjoys the opportunity to help local organisations such as the SES doing shows on a regular basis for other emergency services, at nursing homes and at other charity fundraisers. The Upwey Country Music Club meets on the first Sunday of the month at the Ferntree Gully Girl Guides Hall in Underwood Road. Entry to the Annual SES Fundraiser Show is $5 with the opportunity to help raise even more dollars for the SES with lots of raffles during the afternoon. The RSL bistro will be open for meals. Phone 5962 5017 to book.

Local musician Peter Brocklehurst will share his story and his amazing voice at a fundraising dinner for HICCI (Healesville InterChurch Care Inc.) on Friday, 14 September. His story is as compelling as his voice. In the midst of an extremely abusive childhood, Peter discovered the music of Mario Lanza, igniting his passion for singing. He had his first paid singing performance at 12 years of age but was an angry young man and fell into a life of addiction to mask his despair and sadness. His journey through finding and losing his Christian faith and being 'discovered' as an exceptional and gifted singer as he worked as a cobbler in Hawthorn, is worthy of a book. In fact, his story was told in his autobiography 'Finding my Voice' and on Australian Story. He has released two CDs, sung in prestigious venues, including a standing ovation performance at the Sydney Opera House. With a two-course menu enhanced with a sumptuous serving of inspiration in the hands of Peter Brocklehurst, HICCI's special dinner is a classic combination of food for body and soul. The dinner is at St Brigid's hall in Healesville and an RSVP is required by 10 September. Phone the HICCI office on 5911 6000 or email hicci@hicci.org.au .

Harp and guitar duo set to perform By Alice Rennison Harp and guitar playing duo, Michael Johnson and Evripides Evripidou, will perform in Yarra Junction in September.The concert is titled Breathe after the duo's album, which was seven years in the making. The songs take influence from Ireland, Spain, Cyprus, Greece and Middle Eastern. Mr Johnson has been playing the harp for 38 years. "Before playing the harp I was a rock and roll musician," he said. "When I started playing the harp it was a match made in heaven." Mr Johnson is a resident harpist and composer at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. "My music is inspired by nature," he said. "I have been working in music and meditation for 21 years." Mr Johnson and Mr Evripidou have per-

Asians’ crazy good time

Movies at Healesville and Warburton The Memo, Healesville

Foundation in Yarra Junction on Sunday 9 September. Tickets are $25. Visit www.michaeljohnson.com.au for more information.

Crazy Rich Asians is an energetic and uplifting film about love's resilience in a daunting new culture. Chinese-American economics professor Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) travels with her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding) to Singapore to meet Nick's family, who - unbeknownst to her - are the wealthiest family in Singapore. Rachel must prove herself to Nick's affluent social circle, especially to Nick's sceptical mother Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh). Wu and Golding have warm, natural chemistry together, and Yeoh delivers a performance of remarkable dignity and nuance. While Eleanor is ostensibly the film's primary antagonist, as she disapproves of Rachel

for being a foreign commoner, she doesn't reject her out of malice. Eleanor is a staunch traditionalist who believes that Rachel isn't strong enough to satisfy Nick or be part of such a powerful family. Featuring vibrant cinematography, opulent art direction and soaring music, Crazy Rich Asians is a dazzling celebration of Asian culture. The film has plenty of funny moments derived from culture shock and bombastic side characters, but never veers into stereotypes. Rachel and Nick are deeply devoted to each other, but the film maintains strong personal tension through the obstacles pushing against their love: family disapproval, harassment and the heavy expectations Nick must face as the heir to his family empire. Crazy Rich Asians is an endearing and deeply-moving romantic drama. - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au

FOUR-BEDROOM FAMILY HOME THIS family home set on a huge block of more than a third of an acre (1495 square metres) should tick all the boxes on that list! There are four spacious bedrooms, the master with ensuite and walk-in robe. Two living areas will be a winner for the family – well-positioned at either end of the house. A dining area and a super-large kitchen with an abundance of bench and cupboard space, and the bonus of new appliances, will be a delight for the family chef! Creature comforts are taken care of with a huge wood fire and a split-system for yearround comfort. Step outside and you will find a fullyfenced huge back yard – loads of space for the kids and pets - a double lock-up garage with power and concrete floor, lovely mountain views and verandahs to sit for a morning cuppa and to enjoy the bird life. It’s only a two-minute walk to the iconic Yarra rail trail and minutes’ walk to the Main Street of Yarra Junction without getting puffed! It’s a perfect package for the family! ●

Girls’ grand performance By Kath Gannaway Seville, Yarra Glen and Belgrave have a premiership cup to add to their club’s cabinet following the Eastern Region Girls - Yarra Division grand finals played on Sunday at Yarra Glen. Seville 3.5.23 defeated Upwey-Tecoma 2.5.17 in the Under-16s, Yarra Glen-Coldstream 6.4.40 defeated Worawa 5.0.30 in the Under-14s and Belgrave 0.8.8 defeated Olinda Ferny Creek 1.0.6 in the Under-12s. Female talent and competition co-ordinator for the Eastern Region, Jessie Mulholland, said the exciting round of grand final matches was played out in perfect football weather at the Yarra Glen oval. “There was a great atmosphere around the ground with great support for each match and plenty of warm, sunshine,” she said. The opportunity to play football in a grand

final atmosphere is something that is increasingly on the agenda of girls throughout Yarra Ranges. “We started with 89 teams last year and that’s climbed to around 130 this year,” Ms Mulholland said. “A lot of our teams have come up virtually at the last minute and we’re putting teams together with girls who have never played but who have really embraced football at team level to create an exciting environment for female football.” Next Sunday 9 September will see the last of the women’s grand final matches played out at the Lilydale Oval with two divisions playing for their respective premiership cups in the Deakin Uni Senior Women’s 2018 finale to what has been a great season of women’s football. In Division 1, Mount Evelyn will play Vermont and in Division 2 Donvale will play Blackburn.

JetStream - Yarra Glen and Coldstream - claimed the flag in the Under 14s.

Wandin's Brad Harvey leaps high. Picture: ROBYN KUYS There was no wind to speak of, but it seemed like the scoring end was the Pony Club end of the ground, so Yarra Glen was still in with a chance. Yarra Junction soon put pay to that idea, holding Yarra Glen to just one behind in the last while they kicked a very handy 6.4. Yarra Junction best: M. Sword, T. Armstrong, B. Clark, T. Wheeler (5 goals), C. Hoare, D. Brookes. Yarra Glen best: B. Ashton, A. Smith, R. D’Argent, T. Russell, J. Marks, G. Filsell.

They extended that to 19 points at half-time and looked in control. Both sides kicked 4.4 in the third. Gembrook peppered the goals in the last, kicking 2.8 to Alexandra’s 3.1 to come away with a not so convincing win. Gembrook Cockatoo best: D. Scott, M. Firrito (2 goals), D. Welsh, A. Mitchell, A.

Oh happy day for Kev

Athletes notch up some stellar sums

By Ron Hottes The "old man" of the Warburton Golf Club, Kevin-Kane, wound back the clock to show a clean pair of heels to the rest of the field with a superb 40 points in the Wednesday 29 August stableford competition. Kevin had been struggling recently with a "dodgy knee" but this result showed he was far from a "spent force". Steve Wyatt continued his good form on the comeback trail to snare runner-up with 36 solid points. Balls down to 33. Nearest the pin winners were Ian Garside with a super second shot on the first, Captain Cross on the third and 'Old-Man-River' Hubbard on the 12th. In Saturday 1 September, Ray 'Happy' Gilmore grabbed another M/Medal for the trophy cabinet by winning A-Grade with a fantastic Nett 65. It's becoming all too mundane for this popular member! Steve Wyatt won the runner-up prize with a 69 nett, continuing his red-hot form. Balls extended to 74, indicating that the course was not a lot easier to play even with some improved conditions. The nearest the pin's went to Darren Wyatt on the third, Sam Dennis on the 9th, Paul 'Mr Wandin' Long on the 12th, and Happy on the 15th to round off his medal-winning day.

By Jamie Strudley Some stellar results were had by a small team of Yarra Ranges Athletes at the Athletics Victoria XCR18 Burnley Half Marathon on the weekend of 1 September. The day was cool, clear and still - perfect conditions for fast times - and the team took advantage of this. First off were the juniors in the 5 kilometre. Stand-out results were Kiara Flavel's second in the girls under-14 and Harry Norman's second in the mens under-18 and third place overall. Several of the juniors recorded personal best times, including Max Savill-Bentley who came agonisingly close to a sub-17 with 17.01. The open athletes competed over four laps of the 5km course.
