â– Childcare and some courses to survive
Brave new world By REBECCA BILLS AND KATH GANNAWAY UPPER Yarra Community House (UYCH) has stepped up to plug the dwindling hole of vocation and postsecondary education in the area. After the announced closure of Morrison House in March, UYCH is now set to enter into a lease with the Shire of Yarra Ranges in respect of the land located at 20 Old Hereford Road, Mount Evelyn. UYCH CEO Sally Brennan said there was a misconception that UYCH was taking over Morrisons. “We are absolutely not,� she said. “Morrisons is a community based organisation that had very diverse offerings that they had developed over many years. “UYCH is taking on the business of the Registered Training Organisation
in some courses including VCAL and the children’s services - but not all.� Director Environment and Engineering Mark Varmalis said the proposed lease between council and UYCH related to the site itself, whereby council provided a means of supporting groups including UYCH to deliver the community services. “We understand it is UYCH’s intention to continue many of the programs previously delivered by Morrisons, subject to the ongoing viability of the programs and UYCH’s ability to continue to attract state and federal funding,� he said. “Council has been working in partnership with UYCH and the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development to ensure the ongoing delivery of the childcare services currently operating from the Old Hereford Road site.�
Ms Brennan said they were entering into a lease with council to preserve the services that were currently being delivered from the Mount Evelyn site. “We are committed to retaining the staff we need,� she said. “In the children’s centre it is really important for kids to have the same workers, and it is important for students who develop relationships with their trainers,� she said. Mr Varmalis said since the announced closure of Morrisons, council had received interest from other parties in taking over delivery of programs from the site. “UYCH was able to demonstrate a capacity to deliver similar services from the site and attract funding from government agencies to deliver community education programs,� he said. Ex-Morrisons board member Paula Herlihy said on Wednesday 16 April
the board signed over the company to administration. “Now it is in the hands of a firm called Grant Thornton until the lease is handed over. The company is often used by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development they have assisted in a similar closure for a Gippsland group in the past,� she said. “I have no position at Morrisons as of this sign-over - we no longer have any power or any say. “At the end of the day, we wanted the best for everybody.� Partner at Grant Thornton Australia Andrew Hewitt said childcare and before and after school programs were to commence at the Old Hereford Road property under UYCH on Tuesday 22 April. “My understanding is that UYCH has obtained from council the rights to
occupy the premises,� he said. “I’ve seen correspondence that there is a period of time that council needs to execute a new lease, however they can provide the property under a given right. “We will continue to be the administrator of Morrison House until all their affairs have been tied up.� Mr Varmalis said under the Local Government Act, council was required to advertise its intent to enter into a lease agreement at least four weeks prior to the agreement taking effect. “This process also provides an opportunity for the community to make a submission on the proposed lease,� he said. “Council has indicated its intention to commence the lease with UYCH on 1 June, 2014.�

Lilydale eyes an icon LILYDALE will welcome a new icon in 2015 with the announcement of a $90,000 grant to support a new public artwork for the Castella Street precinct. Minister for the Arts Heidi Victoria said the work, which has been supported through the Victorian Public Sculpture Fund, will be inspired by the collections held at the nearby Yarra Ranges Regional Museum. “The Yarra Ranges boasts a rich and nationally significant history; from the Indigenous experience at Coranderrk, to the region’s role in Australian agriculture and the legacy of the great Dame Nellie Melba,” Ms Victoria said. “This history is showcased beautifully by the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum and this new sculpture will also bring the story of the area to life, extending it beyond the museum’s walls and into the great outdoors.” Ms Victoria said the Victorian Public Sculpture Fund aimed to get more people involved in the arts by placing contemporary artworks at the centre of community life. “Public artworks are more than just an ornament, they play a powerful role in community life by encouraging discussion, providing inspiration and representing the stories of the community in new and dynamic ways to audiences of all ages,” Ms Victoria said.

She’s the best mum By ANEEKA SIMONIS BEING a mother is a hard job. But what makes Ferny Creek’s Samantha Jackel so special is her own journey, coming from a broken home herself, to now providing a safe and solid foundation for others. She was last week named Victoria’s Barnardos Mother of the Year 2014. Samantha was applauded by Barnardos Australia’s Manish Amin who presented her with the prestigious award on 8 April at The Department of Health Services in Melbourne. “Samantha epitomises what these awards are all about and we are pleased to recognise her amazing gift for caring and nurturing our next generation,” she said. Samantha is the mother of five teenagers, aged 14-18. But her care and support doesn’t stop there. In her early twenties, Samantha and her husband saved then teenager Beverly from living on the streets while raising her four children under the age of three. Beverly said she wouldn’t be the person she was today without Samantha’s generosity, love and guidance over the years. When asked about what made her stand out from the crowd, Samantha seemed a little taken aback. “That’s a tough question,” she said “I didn’t even know I was nominated until I got a call four weeks ago. “I guess that the judges saw that I, myself came from an abusive background and how I’ve turned it around and broken the cycle, by being able to provide a safe place for others.” Channelling her experience for the greater good, Samantha has written a book about her life, “My Purple Pants” which has helped inspire strength in countless young victims.

Picture: GREG CARRICK She is also an international public speaker and has helped to raise over one million dollars spent on housing for orphans in Uganda over the past five years. On advice for other mums Samantha said, “Your past doesn’t say who you are. No matter how you’ve been mothered yourself, you can turn that around and be the best mother.” “It doesn’t define you; it releases

you to be the best that you can be. When your past doesn’t define you, you don’t judge on circumstances, you see hope in them,” she said. Viv Armstrong and Sandra Kelly were also commended as Victorian finalists for the annual award. Samantha will be joining state finalists in Sydney for the three-day Barnardos Mother of the Year 2014 ceremony.

Hot early Easter bake-off By REBECCA BILLS EASTER came early at Melba Support Services with a special hamper presentation last Monday. Disability Services and Reform Minister Mary Wooldridge alongside Member for Evelyn Christine Fyffe were both presented with an Easter hamper from Melba’s Able Bake House during a discussion on Melba’s success in creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Melba’s CEO Glenn Foard said the importance of the Able Bake House is that sort of employment for their clients. “Each week for more than two years, people with significant disabilities have been working at the Able Bake House baking, packaging, selling and delivering products for the local community,” he said. “The products speak for themselves and demonstrate how people with significant disabilities can contribute productively to their community.”

Mr Craig said despite the
closure of Morrison on the Park Café he is determined to find more work in the community. Ms Fyffe said Melba’s mission ‘Individuals with disability leading everyday lives’ shows the importance of supporting people with disabilities to achieve their personal goals.
“Melba reduce barriers for their clients and help them to live and work within their communities,” she said. “It can make a huge difference to someone’s life to be recognised and accepted as a valued and contributing member of their community.” Ms Fyffe said the dedicated staff and volunteers at Melba display their philosophy that all people are created equal and have a fundamental right to be respected and valued for who they are. “I have been a supporter of Melba for many years and have always admired their work,” she said. “They do an incredible amount of good work with limited resources and always have the best interests of their clients at heart. “They see the person and their abilities rather than their disabilities.” Anyone interested in purchasing an Able Bake House hamper can visit www.melbasupport.com.au/the_able_ bakehouse or call Kerry Kift on 0413 719 474.

THE Anzac Day Dawn Service in Mount Evelyn will be extra special this year, with awardees of the National Emergency Medal to head the Anzac march. Leading the march is usually an honour only reserved for veterans, however in a one-off event over 40 awardees, given the medal for the role they played in the 2009 Black Saturday Fires, have been asked to lead the march. Mount Evelyn RSL President Roger Boness said there were a lot of voluntary organisation that serviced the community however the difference between the ‘run-of-the-mill’ volunteer groups and the medal recipients was that they put their lives on the line for the well-being of locals. “That means a lot to us,” he said. “We know and we see the horrific television footage of the fire and the devastation, the pain and the loss that occurred. “We know that our people were out there in amongst it all in remote areas doing what they are trained to do and that really gives us a feeling of comfort and a sense of responsibility.” Awardee recipient and Mount Evelyn RSL Vice-President Jim Hurley said the award was given to those who spent a prolonged period of time on the fire ground. The 2014 Mount Evelyn Anzac Day Dawn Service is on Friday 25 April at 6am commencing at the Mount Evelyn War Memorial Park - Corner Wray Crescent and Birmingham Road. The service will be followed by the march from the War Memorial Park to the RSL Hall for a free community breakfast and the unveiling of new names on the Mount Evelyn Honour Board.

PREMIER Denis Napthine inspected the progress of replacing bare wire powerlines in Montrose last Monday to reduce bushfire risk in the Dandenong Ranges. A total of 23 kilometres of high voltage powerlines is being replaced as a result of the Victorian Coalition Government’s $750 million Powerline Bushfire Safety Program. The Premier alongside Minister for Energy and Resources Russell Northe, Liberal Eastern Victoria Region MP Andrew Ronalds and Monbulk candidate Mark Verschuur met with workers to discuss the progress in reducing bushfire risk. Dr Napthine said he was impressed by the works making the Dandenong Ranges safer and commended SP AusNet for their diligent work. “We are getting on with the job protecting Victorians from bushfires with stage one of the works in the Dandenong Ranges now reaching completion,” he said. “By placing lines underground or using insulated cable we can reduce the risk of bushfires.” Dr Napthine said this current stage was one of the largest components of the project that involved replacing bare wire high voltage lines
with underground cabling and required directional boring at a depth of one metre or greater under roads and other infrastructure. He said with the undergrounding of these lines now complete, aerial bundling of a further 9.35 kilometres of powerlines could now take place with work scheduled to finish halfway through the year. Mr Vershuur said as a local living in the area with his family he welcomed the major powerline works. “Cutting the bushfire risk in and around the Dandenong Ranges area is a priority for our community,” he said. SP AusNet External Relations Manager Jonathon Geddes said the company was pleased to be working with the government to deliver the Powerline Bushfire Safety Program which complements their ongoing programs to mitigate bushfire risk. SP AusNet manages a $7 billion electricity and gas network that services more than 1.2 million customers in south-east Australia. Mr Northe said the aerial bundling would be the first to take place in Victoria under the Powerline Bushfire Safety Program. He said the program was one of the most significant programs in protecting Victorian lives, infrastructure, environment and indus-

Tracking expenses, priority spending HAVING difficulty making ends meet? With the rising costs of housing, unemployment, underemployment, the casualisation of the workforce, increasing cost of utilities and other cost of living pressures impacting on a broader cross section of the community, it is not uncommon that more and more people are experiencing difficulty making ends meet. Waiting lists for financial counselling are growing and complex case work is increasing, creating a situation whereby financial counsellors find they are unable to work with

consumers on their budget and money management issues. Below are three steps a person can take to address their finances. Step 1: Keeping track of your expenses. It is critical that you know where every single cent is going. Keep a re-
cord of everything you spend including the monthly rent, utility bills, groceries, coffee, etc.. Write it down on paper or use your smart phone to keep a record of your spending. Step 2: Prioritised and adjust your spending. Once you have a record or list of all your spending, you need to priorities them. Make a column of expenses that are ‘needs’, ‘wants’ and ‘can live without’. Rent, food, medication, and utilities should be in the ‘needs’ column. The objective of this exercise is to reduce your spending for the ‘wants’ and ‘can live without’
column. Making small adjustments to your spending every day, you’ll find it will become second nature. Step 3: Seeking help early. Don’t wait for debts to become unmanageable. Contact a financial counsellor to discuss your options. There are six budget services across the Outer Eastern Regions of Melbourne that can assist you with budgeting. Contact EACH Financial Counselling Intake Line on 9871 1817 to learn more. We are a free and confidential service. Yath Yoeun is a financial counsellor at EACH.

A tough old night, possum By JESSE GRAHAM IT was an evening of high emotions and raised voices at the Yarra Ranges Community Cabinet last week. Premier Denis Napthine and his ministers assembled at Upwey’s Burrinja Cultural Centre at 5.30pm on Monday 14 April for the meeting, which saw the centre’s room quickly reach capacity. Representatives of numerous local groups and Yarra Ranges councillors were all in attendance, and members of the community were able to pose questions or make statements to the ministers. The first question came from Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum member Steve Meacher, who immediately criticised the government’s release of the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) report and recommendations. Numerous other questions and statements followed in a similar vein,
with many residents yelling their sentiments on the matter to the amassed ministers as they made their responses. Minister for Climate Change and Environment Ryan Smith and Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh both said the report and the government’s response was a “big step forward” in protecting the endangered animal. However, questions persisted throughout the evening, attacking the government on its stance towards the timber industry, with raised voices often interrupting both questions and answers. Former Yarra Ranges Mayor Tim Heenan also took the microphone at the event, and asked about the progress of Warburton’s Natural Gas project, which he said was promised before the last state election. Dr Napthine responded to Mr Heenan and said the government was re-tendering the process of getting gas to the town, due to a lack of interest in
its initial tendering of the project. Healesville resident Robyn Johnson also put her thoughts to the ministers, asking about the potential of realigning regional boundaries, which currently place the Yarra Ranges in the Melbourne Metropolitan area. Dr Napthine said the government had been in discussion with the Yarra Ranges Council to assess how to reclassify the area, so that initiatives such as the Regional Growth Fund would be available to residents. The issue of Tecoma McDonald’s and TAFE funding in the area were both dominant issues at the Community Cabinet meeting, and many questioners took aim at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) over the McDonald’s decision. However, Planning Minister Matthew Guy and Attorney-General Robert Clark both defended the VCAT decision, and said that the body was merely working within the confines of the law.
Questioners asked the government about the possibility of removing VCAT from the equation, and having planning decisions rest solely with the council, but Mr Guy said this could cut both ways. “If you removed the appeal mechanism, you could find it comes back to backfire, if the council makes a decision that is completely inappropriate,” he said. Mr Clark suggested that, to prevent situations like Tecoma McDonald’s, planning schemes had to be altered, as they were this week with the introduction of C126. C126 is an amendment to the Yarra Ranges Planning Scheme that discourages drive-through facilities in some areas of the Dandenongs. However, many members of the audience did not accept Mr Clark’s answer, and yelled over the top of him, accusing him of hiding behind the former government and saying the change was too late.
Meanwhile, TAFE questions were deflected by Ferntree Gully MP Nick Wakeling, who said that funding had increased under the Coalition and that more students were studying in fields guaranteed to get jobs. The final question of the evening came from Yarra Ranges Councillor Noel Cliff, who asked for an update on the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO), which he said left people “stuffed”. Dr Napthine and Mr Guy both responded, and said that commonsense should be applied to the BMO, and that some resolution to the current situation was expected to be seen in May. The meeting ended half an hour over-time, at 7.30pm, and the ministers were ushered out of the building by police officers, with community members staying behind to talk about the evening and their respective community groups.
Get political on buses, say movers and shakers By JESSE GRAHAM PUBLIC transport could be on the agenda for the upcoming state election, with the council and service providers saying they want to see more buses passing through. With the election seven months away, the Yarra Valley’s two main bus providers, Martyrs and McKenzie’s Tourist Services, told the Mail they would like to make public transport an election issue. McKenzie’s General Manager Brad Sanders said currently there were only five bus services running to Healesville from Lilydale and back on Sundays. He said that, with normal weekday services finishing up at 7.55pm, he
would like to see not only more buses on weekends, but more late-night services into the town. “When it (bus services) was initially put in 20 years ago, the Yarra Valley was not what it is today,” Mr Sanders said. “With tourists, wineries and attractions in the areas, there’s a lack of adequate services on the weekends.” Martyrs’ General Manager Bryan Sultana echoed Mr Sanders’ comments and said that services on weekends could fall short of fully servicing the public, with East Warburton services not running on Sundays. Both managers said they would like to see increased frequency of buses both
in off-peak times, late-night periods and on weekends, to help assist those dependent on buses and to relieve congestion on highways. Currently, the latest services running on both the Healesville and Warburton routes leave at about 9.25pm on Fridays and Saturdays, with 7.55pm for McKenzies and 8.40pm for Martyrs the latest services on weekdays. Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister said that improving public transport services was a key priority for the council, and that she had raised the issue to the Premier and his ministers as part of the Community Cabinet visit last week. “We met with local state politicians last week and that was one of our major advocacy issues,” Cr McAllister said.
“I fully support any other community advocacy efforts to get that on the agenda and to try and get some results out of the election.” What do you think about the current state of public transport in the Yarra Valley? Do you feel that services on weekends and in the evenings are adequate, or would you like to see more? Would public transport improvements affect your vote in this year’s election? Write a letter to the editor to PO Box 470, Healesville, 3777 or to editor@yvnews.com.au with your thoughts.

Goodies in the Cabinet RECENTLY Premier Denis Napthine brought his Cabinet team to the Yarra Ranges. Cabinet met the mayor and CEO of the Yarra Ranges Shire, attended a number of local events and then met in Upwey for a community forum. The visit provided an opportunity for residents to discuss local matters with ministers and share their views on the future of their community. The Napthine Government is delivering better services in the Yarra Ranges region. We are improving health facilities with a $7.8 million expansion of the Healesville Hospital. The project will build a new operating theatre and renal dialysis unit and expand the community health centre. Now local residents can
access additional surgical procedures across a number of specialties. Work is to begin on another major road safety project on the Warburton Highway at Launching Place. Between Lester Street and Don Road we will spend $3.4 million to address the issue of run-off-road crashes. This will involve the installation of wire rope and guard fence barriers and road widening between Allsops Road and Lusatia Park Road. This work is part of an overall $6 million road safety improvement program across the Yarra Ranges. As part of the Napthine Government’s $750 million Powerline Bushfire Safety Program, a total of 23 kilometres of high voltage power lines will be placed underground or protected with insulated cable across the Dandenong Ranges. Millgrove is to get a new CFA fire station and a
community fire refuge. Local communities will enjoy improved protection from bushfires as a result. I am pleased to be part of the Napthine Government team that is providing the services that the growing community of the Yarra Ranges needs. Cindy McLeish MP, State Liberal Member of Parliament.

Warburton Mail April 24 1964 Premier of Victoria Opposes tapping Big River to Augment City Water Supply THE Premier (Mr Henry Bolte) has stated that he would not allow one drop of water to be taken from the north of the divide to augment Melbourne’s water supplies. He said this would apply even if such a plan were recommended by the State Parliamentary Public Works Committee. Mr Bolte’s surprise statement could force Melbourne to pay more for
its future water supplies. It would also force the board to seek an alternative source of supply such as a dam of the Yarra at Warburton. Property sales THERE was an attendance of approximately 70 people at the auction of a small property at Wesburn. Selling under instructions from the estate of the late Mrs. A Turner, the property sold at 450 pounds cash to Mr. G. Hall of Yarra Junction. H.J.B.

By JESSE GRAHAM A HEALESVILLE couple whose viral proposal video hit screens worldwide tied the knot recently, in a day that contrasted their hit video. Adrian and Libbi Gardiner were married on Sunday 8 March at Healesville’s Hedgend Maze, around eight months after their proposal video went viral. The video depicted Adrian, who had broken his back, down on bended knee waiting for Libbi to see him outside of her newly-opened hairdressing salon, Mugshot Hair. However, Libbi, who had been busy setting up the shop, pulled the newspaper from the windows and carried on with her day, not seeing her struggling husband-to-be outside. Adrian soon caught Libbi’s attention, however, and the video, which was posted on the salon’s Facebook page, received thousands of views and even screened on an American morning television show. Adrian said that their wedding day, unlike the time around the pro-
Libbi and Adrian Gardiner at their wedding in Healesville last month. 118452 Picture: MATTHEW TAITE posal, was “cruisy” and relaxed, with the day going off without a hitch. Though there were no dramatic events or last-minute calamities standing out from the big day, the couple will still have a memorable story to tell from their proposal alone.

On Monday they walked halfway up Mt Riddell and back, while on Tuesday they tramped to Maroondah Dam in the morning and then did the trip to the sanctuary on Shanks’ pony in the afternoon. Public meeting A PUBLIC meeting will be held in the council chamber on 24 April for the purpose of meeting Mr. A.J. Swaby, State Superintendent of the League of Youth of Australia. Mr Swaby will explain the aims and objectives of this very valuable movement which caters especially for the preservation of all Australian national characteristics. All citizens are strongly urged to attend.

and inform your friends and neighbours to do the same before 1 May. If we don’t stop this move by council, our tip will be gone for ever. This whole proposal is shrouded in secrecy, due to the council evoking “confidentiality” which prevents ratepayers from finding out what the real reason behind this move is. This is supported by what information is available, indicating that Healesville has more customers in two days than Wesburn has in seven days. Why then would you want to close Healesville, unless there is another agenda? Please send in your objections. John Rosser, Convener, Healesville Action Group.

John’s legacy lives on By KATH GANNAWAY SISTERS Val Christie and Judith Thomas will be at services on either side of the Yarra Valley on Anzac Day, but their thoughts will be on one person, their dad, John Valentine McDonald. It’s an emotional time each year for the two remaining children of John McDonald’s five post-war children, Val from Healesville and Judith from Seville. Their memories, of course, are of a returned soldier who settled on 401 acres in Badger Creek after the war, built the family home and was the first caretaker at Coranderrk Weir, now Badger Weir. But they have photos, postcards and stories retold to the McDonald children, Jack, Kathleen, Frank, and the two girls, as they were growing up. Much of his war experience, documented in an essay written some years ago as a school project by Frank’s daughter Kelly McDonald, is based on those conversations. It’s a reminder of the sacrifice made by so many. “Dad was injured three times,” Val said. “Every Anzac Day, I read it and I can’t help but cry. It reminds me of what he went through, and even after all this time, you still miss him.” The photos show a young, single man from Launching Place, well known and liked as the son of Valentine McDonald and his wife Annie Catherine, a pioneering family of the district. His sweetheart and later wife, Alice Martin, was the daughter of another well-known family, John and Alice Susan Martin from Yarra Junction.
Val Christie and Judith Thomas with a treasured photo of John Valentine McDonald. 118936 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Postcards between the two, often just one or two lines, declare their love, but there is nothing of the brutality, pain and horror of John’s war experience. He was 25 when he joined up on 15 June 1915, a strapping man of 6-foot 2-inches. His enlistment form shows he had been a member of the Launching Place Rifle Club for four years. He was put into the 24th Battalion A.I.F, number 1929. “His experiences at war were ordinary for the time and yet extraordinary for any man to have to endure,” Kelly wrote.
They include the story of Arab hairdresser Acki-Bjelke who was put before the firing squad in Egypt and of ‘Darky Sneezby’ who was everyone’s envy after receiving a ‘blighty’ (minor wound) which sent him from Lone Pine back to recover in Britain. His death from blood poisoning from the ‘blighty’ was a shattering experience and another example of the horrors of war. He survived the role of a grenadier - a bomber who hurled grenades at the enemy - at Poziers, and the day-to-day exposure to death in the trenches and on the frontline. But he didn’t escape injury. His first injury was at Gallipoli on 21 December 1915 and he was wounded again at Poziers on 17 October, 1916. A shot to the head at the Second Battle of Bullecourt on 16 June 1917, put an end to his active service. It was an horrific wound, shot behind the right ear with the bullet exiting through his mouth, leading the stretcher bearer to list him as ‘Killed in Action’. It was early dawn, and it was only later in the day he was seen to move and taken for medical attention. Returning to Launching Place, John joined the 24th Battalion Association and looked forward to Anzac Day each year when he met up with friends, including from surrounding towns including Marysville, Narbethong, Alexandra and Healesville. John was 69 when he died in 1959. Judith and Val say he was one of the lucky ones. Returning to marry his sweetheart and make a good life, not entirely without the legacy of war, but loving, productive and unlike thousands of his generation, long.

Saxton puzzle solved By KATH GANNAWAY THE mystery of World War I soldier Reuben Saxton has come full circle. For years, Mount Evelyn RSL has had a plaque with his name on it which they believed was from the Mount Evelyn Avenue of Honour but there was no one by that name on the Mount Evelyn WWI lists. There was, however, a Reuben Saxton from Gilderoy in the national military records. “We couldn’t understand why it looked different to the only other plaque from the Mount Evelyn Avenue of Honour,” said Mount Evelyn RSL president Roger Boness, who last month repatriated the plaque to the Upper Yarra Historical Society for safe keeping and possible inclusion in their military collection. The discovery couldn’t have come at a better time for the UYHS as their plans with Upper Yarra RSL proceed for the replanting of a memorial avenue of trees for the Anzac

Centenary. The original memorial trees were at the Yarra Junction Sports Ground near the memorial gates and featured individual picket fence guards with plaques presumed to be engraved with the names of the World War I fallen. Reuben Saxton was killed in action at Cape Helles on Gallipoli in 1915. The Saxton plaque is the only one known to be in existence. In an ironic twist, local military historian, Bob Sutherland, told the story at the presentation of how he had found the Saxton plaque when he was just starting out on his military research. He gave it to a Yarra Junction woman as a more appropriate custodian, explaining that he didn’t recognise the significance of the plaque at the time. How it came to be donated to Mount Evelyn RSL is still a mystery. The plan now is to replant the memorial trees along the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail.

Festival stays good to the core By KATH GANNAWAY WHO would have thought 30 years ago that a festival with the humble apple at its core would be such a success?

The festival on Sunday, 4 May, celebrates the 30th anniversary of this fantastic community festival and with everything apple from apple pies and fritters to the popular toffee apples and cider, the apple is far from humble. There is plenty of live entertainment, children’s entertainment and activities, raffles, a wood chop, market stalls, the Valley’s Got Talent show, fabulous food and wine and more. The event is held in the grounds of the Gladysdale Primary School just five kilometres from Yarra Junction along Little Yarra Road on the way to Powelltown and starts at 10am. THREE lucky kids with an eye for colour will receive a framed copy of their winning entry in the Gladysdale Apple and Wine Festival colouring competition, along with some other great prizes. Age groups are 5-7, 8-10 and 11-12. To enter, colour in the fantastic posted created by Amber, post it to Festival Competition, Gladysdale Primary School, Little Yarra Road, Gladysdale, 3797, or deliver it to the school.

Healesville
Celebrates
40 years green By JESSE GRAHAM WITH the town celebrating 150 years of existence, Healesville’s Black Spur Nursery is celebrating a milestone of its own, with its 40th anniversary on none other than Anzac Day. Annette and John Stanhope opened their nursery on 25 April 1974, at a former hardware store owned by local resident Ray Donkin. The couple leased the site initially, later purchasing the store, and Annette and John said that, like the hardware store becoming a nursery, the make-up of Healesville had changed over their four-decade stint. “We’ve seen a lot of changes in Healesville - it wasn’t a tourist town when we first came here,” John said. “When we first came here, the only place you could get a coffee was the Bellbird Restaurant - which is now Church and Main.” Now, the pair said coffee shops line the streets, with even the nursery café offering a cuppa to its visitors. Annette said that she felt the business’ defining feature over the last four decades had been the freshness of their plants, which she attributed to John’s work around the clock. “A lot of nurseries you go into, they (the plants) look very tired,” she said. “But John works constantly on keeping the stock looking fresh - at the end of a long, long summer, it’s green.” John still has a pile of old photo-

After inflation, their first-day takings would be equivalent today to around $240.
Though they will begin their 40th year at the store officially on Anzac Day, the pair said that celebrations would take place in spring, to coincide with the finishing of a “re-vamping” of the grounds.
1864 - 2014 Town notches up 150 HAS your local community, school or business group, got a plan to celebrate Healesville’s 150th Birthday this year? Working towards a huge fortnight in November, and with many celebratory events being held during the year, the Steering Committee is keen to hear from anyone who wants to run an event, create a 150th memory, or even tell us what their fondest memories of Healesville are. If your local community groups are ‘kicking around’ ideas, but seemingly taking ‘too much time’ to put things into action, contact us to help get the ‘ball rolling’. One of the key events in this 150th year is the Healesville Heritage Festival. The HHF committee has been meeting fortnightly and keeps adding great attractions to their Festival on 8 and 9 November. The Festival will be a tribute to our timber industry, all things ‘steam’, transport through the ages, and iconic events that have made Healesville the great town it is today. With the ‘re-introduction’ of steam trains coming in 2016/17, and the magnificent restoration of the railway line from Yarra Glen, set to provide a major tourist attraction, the HHF Committee have managed to track down the last ‘station master’ to wave a train out of Healesville, when the train line sadly closed down some
decades ago. He will have many stories to tell, and the HHF committee is actively seeking other older residents/ex-residents of Healesville, to come along to the festival and share their stories of days gone by. If you know someone that ‘spins a good yarn’ , let the Steering Committee know and it will be passed on to the HHF. The HHF will also have some of Australia’s greatest ‘axemen’ competing in the Festival Woodchop, and part of the events format will be a Victoria versus Tasmania ‘Axemen’s Challenge’. A team from Tassie will be over for the event, and with both states having ‘bragging rights’ with former and current ‘world champions’ in their midst, it will be a must see. The Steering Committee
Healesville looking back on French’s Laundry By RAY DONKIN A PHOTOGRAPH in the Mountain Views of former employees of French’s Laundry, after it burnt down (in 2012), brought back many memories of my association with the laundry and my life in Healesville. Many years ago the late Mr Irvine French offered me the job to supply wood to fuel the boiler which provided the steam for the laundry. I did this for many years loading the timber by hand three loads per day at 3 pounds 50 shillings per load. Mr French would be at the laundry at first light to stoke up the boiler. The late Keith Pomeroy offered me the waste timbers from his sawmill at Thomas Road and both Mr French and Mr Pomeroy would call upon me when they were short staffed to help out. Also around that time I was riding racehorses for Lorenzo McKenzie from McKenzie Buses who offered me on very generous terms a block of land, where I opened a Building and Garden Supplies. Later on I was able to help John Stanhope establish his nursery on the same block of land, which is still there today known as the Black Spur Nursery. At that time in Healesville if you were a bit leftish the tag ‘Commo’ (Communist) was soon attached to you. The politics of Mr French, Mr McKenzie and Mr Pomeroy would have been vastly different to mine and yet you could say the generosity of these three men helped me take the first step on a long march to establishing Healesville Building Supplies. Around the ’50s and ’60s in Healesville most of the women worked at French’s Laundry, the telephone exchange, Dowd’s Lingerie factory or one of the many large guest houses. Most of the men worked in the timber industry, at the many sawmills and in the forest.

Kneeling (from left) John Hart, Bill Thompson, Jack Hort, Jeannie Thorpe, Joy Anderson and Barbara Mason. 84474 There always seemed to be plenty of work. You could leave one job on Friday and start a new one on Monday; so different from today and the forest appears to me to be just the same now as it was 60 years ago. I still remember seeing Mrs Dowd in her Rolls Royce being chauffeur driven from Melbourne to her beautiful home near Maroondah Dam. The home is still occupied by one of the Dowd family today. The Dowd’s also owned the Gracedale Guest House from where, as a contribution to the war effort, they produced clothes for the Australian Soldiers. Later on they changed the guest house to a hotel called Maroondah Lake Hotel which later on burnt down.
Healesville was a small town but there was a strong camaraderie amongst the people. Few of us were wealthy but houses were cheap. My first home cost 90 pounds and 100 pounds to shift to River Street. It’s hard to believe that when the steam train pulled in at the station there would be eight taxis with drivers, of which I was one, touting for business. That same steam train some years before had been our transport to secondary schools. I well remember my travelling companions Norma Parish (Hort), Bill Hort and others from Yarra Glen. We would leave at seven and be home at seven. It was a real bonus if we hitched a ride with one of the returning timber trucks.
If Norma was with us we would allow her to sit in the cabin with the driver. We were gentlemen in those days. Healesville had some characters back in the ’50s and ’60s. Tubby Dennehy (Senior) would hold your attention for an hour telling jokes, Colin Stevens (Champ) the most fanatical Healesville football supporter, who at times we would hide in the car boot to get him into the away games grounds for free. Then there was Henry Saunders and Roy Buzza (Junior) motoring around in Henry’s 1928 roofless Chevy, with poor brakes which ended up one time in the front window of Jordan’s hardware shop (now Reece’s). Henry also had his little dog which did tricks. Henry would keep us drink-
ers at the Grand Hotel entertained and if Henry ever got into a scuffle the dog would jump up and bite the offender on the legs. Jack Nolan the town’s painter whose boisterous laugh would wake the dead was another of those characters. Lionel Saunders who lived many years as the caretaker at the fire station, was known as Gouty for his consistent gout complaint as he limped along on his walking stick. And, last but not forgotten, the two men who lived for some time in a hollowed out white gum at the River Street and Green Street intersection. What a great pity no photos appeared of these men to be revisited for historical purposes, such as our town’s 150th birthday. In conclusion, I have to say, I have travelled throughout Australia from Cooktown Cape York to Exmouth to Albany to Kalgoorlie and you won’t find a better place than the Yarra Valley.

Leadbeater’s Possum champion Pam Miskin will be remembered as a passionate conservationist. 118985
Possum’s best mate By KATH GANNAWAY PAM Miskin was an intelligent warrior for the Leadbeater’s Possum. The passionate conservationist and teacher whose work to save the Victorian faunal emblem from extinction included her role as a founding member and president of Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum, will be inducted into Victorian Zoos Hall of Fame in June. Pam, who lived with husband Trevor at Wesburn, died in January this year from the cancer she had battled for the past decade. She will be the second inductee, and the second former Healesville Sanctuary employee, to be acknowledged for their outstanding contribution to wildlife as part of the Zoos Victoria organisation. The anniversary of the re-discovery of the presumed extinct possum in 1961 by naturalist Eric Wilkinson brought friends, family and colleagues together on Sunday, 6 April at Cambar-

ville to erect a plaque in Pam’s honour. Sarah Blair, Friends founder and immediate past president of the group said Pam was working at Healesville Sanctuary when they met. She said Pam had a very good understanding of the possum and their captive requirements, and an organised way of working that appealed to her. “Pam brought this amazing knowledge which I didn’t have and we complemented each other,” she said, adding that they lobbied and got the Leadbeater’s Recovery Team together again. “Pam built up a very strong education program, went to a lot of schools talking about Leadbeater’s Possum and threatened animal conservation,” Ms Blair said. She spoke of her initiative with establishing and raising money for the nest box program. She said she was a great support as vice-president, before taking on the
role last year as president. “I always admired Pam’s courage. She had incredible courage as a campaigner and was the person who would get out there with her Leadbeater’s Tshirt, her possum hat and buttons and approach people, asking them had they heard about the possum and the threats to its survival,” she said. “Whenever we went to presentations for the media, or government, the first hand that would go up was Pam’s to ask the tricky questions and to get the answers out there in the public.” Trevor Miskin and Pam’s sister
spoke of her commitment and courage as she dealt with the personal challenges of the aggressive cancer, and political and commercial interests which threatened the survival of the possum that had become such a huge part of her life. Trevor said the plaque would have made Pam extremely happy. “Pam really was the genuine article. She did a lot of things for a lot of people, but she did them because she believed they were right and just and necessary,” he said. “Regarding the Leadbeater’s Pos-
sum, Pam was always courageous,” he said with emotion. “As in all her struggles ... she was courageous. She always believed in its ultimate success,” he said. He will represent Pam at the Zoos Victoria Hall of Fame ceremony in June. A Zoos Victoria spokesperson said the award recognised Pam’s outstanding contribution in particular to education and engaging young people in conservation issues, and for her work with the Leadbeater’s Possum.

BASED on Veronica Roth’s novel, Divergent is a surprisingly solid, engaging (if confused) film. In a future where humanity is divided into five factions, Beatrice (Shailene Woodley) learns that she doesn’t fit into a single category. She must hide within the brave Dauntless faction as the society’s rulers target those who don’t conform with the system. Logistically, the world of Divergent doesn’t make much sense. The film emphasises the dangers of conformity, but giving characters the choice
to choose a different faction from their test results undermines this theme. The factions represent aspects of human personality but hardly any person is only smart, only brave and so on, so Beatrice’s secret of being divergent (or multi-skilled) isn’t very remarkable. But get past the poorlyconceived world and Divergent is highly entertaining. Divergent feels like a teenage Full Metal Jacket meets Inception, with gruelling training sequences and nifty, surreal mind games. Beatrice has a compelling journey of proving her courage in Daunt-
less and learning to beat the system, so the film still does a decent job of engaging with youth anxieties of fitting in and being yourself. Her relationship with senior member Four (Theo James) is satisfying, developing through gradual trust and respect. The action is simple but tense and there is some amazing camerawork. Though thematically muddled, Divergence is well acted, exciting and even moving, with sympathetic characters and strong personal drama. By SETH HYNES

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.
$6m safety upgrade By JESSE GRAHAM SAFETY improvements are beginning in Launching Place, with millions of dollars being spent on measures to reduce serious injuries and prevent road deaths. As part of a $6 million overhaul to road safety in the Yarra Ranges, works along the Warburton Highway between Lester Street and Don Road in Launching Place will take place in the near future. Visiting the scene of roadworks
along the Warburton Highway near Lilydale as part of the Premier’s visit to the Yarra Valley, Assistant Treasurer Gordon Rich-Phillips and Minister for Roads Terry Mulder discussed the works. The Launching Place works will see 1.4 kilometres of wire rope safety barriers, 400 metres of guard fencing and the widening of a stretch of the highway between Allsops Road and Lusatia Park Road. Mr Rich-Phillips and Mr Mulder
were joined by VicRoads regional director Adam Maguire, Seymour MP and Eildon candidate Cindy McLeish, Gembrook MP Brad Battin, and Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe to talk about the works. Mr Rich-Phillips said the works along the Warburton Highway and those recently started along the Maroondah Highway in Healesville were part of the Safer Road Infrastructure Program (SRIP). The SRIP targets high-risk, road-
accident locations and aims to install roundabouts, barriers and run-off road preventative measures, including wide shoulders, wire barriers and rumble strips. Mr Rich-Phillips said there had been 48 fewer serious injuries on roads in the Yarra Ranges area since 2010, and attributed the reduction in part to road safety works. “These projects go a long way to ensuring that everyone travelling on roads within the Yarra Ranges is doing
so in the safest environment possible,” he said. Ms McLeish said the SRIP contributed to record-low road tolls recorded in recent years, and that works such as those in the Yarra Ranges meant that Victoria would remain a “world leader” in road safety. For more information, visit www. roadsafety.vic.gov.au. For information on road works and possible delays, visit traffic.vicroads. vic.gov.au.
Holiday blitz YARRA RANGES TMU set up in Coldstream on Thursday as a reminder to motorists that police would be in force over the weekend. The operation, along the Maroondah Highway and back roads in the Yarra Ranges, sent a strong message to drivers to stay safe, not drink and drive and obey road rules. Picture: ROB CAREW

Pride for all on the Ball By KATH GANNAWAY IN 2012, Yarra Glen footballer Jason Ball was understandably apprehensive when he came out as a gay footballer. “I thought Yarra Glen, being a small regional town, was the last place I would find support, but I was wrong,” he told the Mail the week after playing in the Second Division grand final. On 3 May, another small Yarra Valley town will show its support for Ball’s campaign to tackle homophobia in the sport when the Yarra Junction Eagles meet Yarra Glen Thunder in the inaugural Pride Cup. It’s a match that is set to establish a new precedent for inclusion in sport for the lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual and intersex (LGBTI) communities, and it’s significant that, with the backing of the AFL, the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Netball League is setting the pace. Ball, now 26, has played up through the junior ranks at Yarra Glen and has proved his ability on and off the field. He’s spoken openly about his own experiences and feelings after accepting he was gay, and of the support of his teammates and the Yarra Glen Football Club, and the change in the club culture as positive recog-
nition that homophobia has no place in the sport. Coaches of both teams spoke out last week in support of the Pride Cup as a commitment to the stand that there is no place for homophobia in their clubs or in the sport. “Our team has always been united in supporting Jason and in making our club open to all,” Yarra Glen coach Dean de Munk said. “The Pride Cup shows that in our sport it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, what matters is your courage and sacrifice for one another on the field.” Eagles coach Simon Caldwell said the clubs were united in the cause off the field, but warned there would be no concessions on the field. “Our teams are traditional rivals and we are going to be giving it our all for the Pride Cup match,” he said. For Ball, it’s never been any other way. The Thunder will be aiming to ensure that the inaugural Pride Cup has pride of place in the Yarra Glen clubrooms. That said, there’s a deeper goal to the game in the face of alarming mental health and suicide statistics associated with LGBTI Australians and Ball says the Pride Cup is a step in the right direction.
“The support that has been received for the Pride Cup from both teams, the AFL, the league and the local community has completely blown me away,” he said. “To me, it shows that communities in rural and regional Australia can rally together and show support for gay and lesbian people in their communities and my hope is that events like these can be replicated across the country.” Yarra Ranges Council is hosting the inaugural Pride Cup and mayor Fiona McAllister said it was a tremendous initiative to help promote inclusion in the sporting community. “We also congratulate Jason for his bravery in standing up to homophobia in our society, and raising awareness about the impact it has on human rights and mental health,” she said. YVMDFNL CEO Stephen Walter also spoke out saying the Pride Cup was another move towards making sport a safe and welcoming environment for all and an initiative the League was fully supportive of. The Yarra Glen oval will be painted with rainbows at the 50 metre lines for the game. The senior football and AGrade netball teams will start their Pride Cup matches at 2.10pm and 1.15pm respectively.

RIDERS from 18 pony clubs took part in the Healesville Pony Club Dressage Day on Saturday 12 April. After a week of rain, the skies cleared for the riders who were showing in grades three to five competition.
While jumping events were cancelled there was still plenty of action throughout the day as beginner riders through to experienced performers took their horses through the dressage routines before the judges. The picturesque Healesville Pony Club grounds and the opportunity for a school
holiday competition attracted riders from Seville, Yarra Glen, St Andrews, Kangaroo Ground, Hurstbridge, Mooroolbark, Seymour, Lilydale, Wyena, Kinglake, Alexandra and Mount Evelyn, Mansfield, Donvale and Templestowe, Upper Yarra and Macclesfield, as well as local riders.
Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Tori Sharp and Jasper wait for their turn in the Grade 5 test.

Perfect for a paddle By KATH GANNAWAY TRIPLE canoe/kayak Olympian Warwick Draper started late in paddle sports at 15. “We aim to get the kids involved much earlier than that,” he said after completing a term with Launching Place Primary School students as part of the Active After Schools program. The canoe classroom is the pool at the Yarra Centre and while it’s tight, the kids involved in the program are loving the opportunity to learn a very different sport from an elite coach. Draper is working in the Active After Schools program through Canoeing
Victoria as well as running a pilot Paddle Power Award program at Lillydale Lake. While Launching Place was chosen for the AAS program, Draper has also been out to other schools in the area talking about his experiences as a three-time Olympic competitor in Canoe Slalem and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and being active. Paddle Power, targeting 10 to 14 year olds, is about introducing and developing pathways into the sport. “Lillydale Lake is the perfect introduction to the sport where they can learn about manouvering and about safety,” Draper said. He sees the Yarra Valley with Lilly-
dale Lake and the Yarra River running through as the ideal training and playground for the paddle sports. As the kids get older and gain more skills, Draper says the river is a natural progression. “We would hope to develop a canoe club at Lillydale Lake to take them from beginner to more advanced and then for those who are interested, to paddling on the river,” he said. “With the Yarra right on the doorstep, it’s a perfect, complementary scenario of lake and river.” The Active After Schools program will continue next term, and, hopefully, Draper says, more throughout the year.
