Comfort cook away the chill AROUND the Yarra Ranges, as the long, cold days are in full swing, residents are putting away the salad bowls and opting for warmer winter foods. And Dairy Australia has some great tips and tricks to ensure food this winter keeps you warm and satisfied. Dairy Australia’s Food communications manager Amanda Menegazzo said with the change of season it is time for people to get inspired in the kitchen. “Swap your salad spinner for your slow cooker, update your shopping list to make the most of seasonal produce and get set for a winter of Specials on Carpet End of Roll Room Sizes

nostalgic, warm-me-up comfort dishes,” she said. “There is something about dairy that makes it particularly warm and comforting during the colder months. “As we edge towards shorter days and lower temperatures every home cook needs some new ideas to help add some extra oomph to the family menu,” Amanda said. With this in mind, Ms Menegazzo has created a new collection of delicious winter dishes from The Dairy Kitchen that will inspire, tempt and satisfy. One extra special winter dish on the menu is a sweet potato, capsicum and red lentil soup which is wholesome, fresh and full of flavour that will warm on coldest of days, and there’s a delicious, rich chocolate pudding - great comfort food on a cold day. She said shoppers should put away the salad dressing and add a large tub of Greek yogurt to their weekly shop as this calcium-rich superfood adds a silky smooth texture and tangy bite to soups, curries, casseroles and slow-cooked stews.

KEEPING back-yard chooks is on the rise but, along with the benefits, there are pitfalls for the unwary. More than 40 people attended a workshop in April run by Healesville Community Garden aimed at promoting sustainable poultry keeping. It was a coup to have Tasmanian guru of sustainable poultry keeping, Paul Healy, deliver his first workshop on the mainland said local poultry enthusiast Lee Andre who has had chooks for 40 years and initiated the workshop. Lee first read an article by Paul on natural worming about five years ago and finally got to attend one of his workshops - by organising the Healesville event as a fund-raiser for the community garden. Among her family of four chooks are two of the rare purebred Barnevelder variety. The birds came to Australia in the early 1900s and Paul is now the only pure-bred breeder of the heirloom beauties. The workshop covered everything from housing and nutrition to the various characteristics of different varieties, egg-laying capabilities and dealing with lice, mites and scaly legs.
Laying down the laws LEE Andre has some great advice for anyone planning on setting up a chook run, or wanting to make their chook house a happier place for ‘the girls’. Check with the local council on the number of chooks allowed, and whether that includes a rooster. Four is a good number for a quarter-acre block. Make sure the hen-house and run are fox-proof. Buy chooks from a reputable breeder. Start off with a good, basic layer. Feed every day with a layer’s mash - 100grams per bird, and supplement with grain each day. Never feed mouldy food scraps or breads - it can be fatal. Always have clean water available in ‘untippable’ containers.
· · · · · · · ·
· Provide shaded areas, and a draught-free henhouse in winter. · Plant ‘greens’ in the chook run, such as silver· · · · ·
beet, wheat grass, and oregano. Catnip is good in the nesting boxes, along with marigolds and marjoram which are good for stimulating laying. Mint in food and nest-boxes is an effective insecticide. Nasturtiums are good for laying and also an insecticide and wormer. Oregano combats infections. Dogs and chooks should never be left unsupervised together. Recommended website - greenharvest.com.au.

Mike Morrison, Lee Andre, Paul Healy and Dale Prentice with Paul’s heirloom chooks at the April workshop. 121346 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY There were lots of tips garnered from years of experience, such as always use stainless steel buckets for food and water, never feed chooks mouldy scraps, or raw potato, and chooks don’t fare well on a 100 per cent vegetarian diet! Watermelon is a great pickup for chooks that are suffering heat stress. And, that was just a tiny
sample of the wealth of information shared with enthusiasts from all over Victoria. “It was just stunning to have Paul over here and we will be holding more workshops towards the end of the year,” Lee said. Anyone interested in attending future workshops can contact Lee at leecandre@gmail. com or phone 0434 214 352.

Culture of celebration By REBECCA BILLS LAST month students at Montrose Primary School celebrated Chinese culture with a whole school celebration. Chinese teacher Hua Yao said the day commenced with a traditional Chinese dance performance followed by a dragon parade with a dragon made by students during their art classes over the past term. This was followed by a parade by the students and five workshops including traditional Indonesian dancing and martial arts. “In the Chinese program we try to provide many options for the student to experience Chinese culture,� she said. “Last year we had an Asian day where students learnt to use chopsticks and Chinese calligraphy and this year we focused on cultural elements, not just in China, but other Asian countries as well. “Parents also attended the parade with everyone in attendance enjoying the atmosphere.� Ms Yao said the Chinese program at the school commenced last year with a great response from students and parents.

“Improved confidence is already apparent through the increased reporting of family violence and increased referrals of people in need to support agencies,� Insp McKinney said. A divisional family violence unit is currently operating in the Yarra Ranges to target the issue and provide guidance to those in need. On a number of other key crime issues, the two PSAs had a divide between their results, with contrasting rises and falls for certain offences. Drug offences dropped 4 per cent in Cardinia across the time period, but rose 6.7 per cent in the Yarra Ranges in the same time. Meanwhile, property damage dropped 11 per cent in the Yarra Ranges, but jumped 18 per cent in Cardinia. Thefts from motor vehicles rose 9.3 per cent across both PSAs, with theft

both areas, and while the Cardinia PSA recorded a dramatic drop in road fatalities from nine in the 2012 calendar year down to one in 2013 - an increase of deaths was seen in the Yarra Ranges. In the 2013 calendar year, eight people died on Yarra Ranges roads, up from five the year before. Insp McKinney said that young and elderly drivers were the most vulnerable road users, and said one of the key risks for road fatalities or serious injuries was distraction or speeding. Insp Wallace echoed these comments and encouraged drivers to play their part in road safety by respecting other road users and following the road rules.

offences rising from 548 to 599 in Cardinia and from 560 to 612 in the Yarra Ranges. Both officers said that thieves target motor vehicles opportunistically, and urged drivers to take care to lock vehicles and leave valuables out of sight. “It was evident during the reporting process that victims were leaving vehicles unlocked in garages, driveways and on residential streets,� Insp McKinney said. “Most of the damage and vehicle related crimes are opportunistic,� Insp Wallace said. “The local community can play a major part in reducing these offences from occurring by removing valuables and ensuring vehicles are locked and secured at all times, preferably off the street in a garage or driveway.� Road policing was a major issue for

CRIME statistics have skyrocketed in the Cardinia area, according to the latest statistics, but key crimes, such as family violence, remain higher in the Yarra Ranges. The latest round of Victoria Police statistics were released on Wednesday 28 May and outlined a rise in crime for both Police Service Areas (PSAs) between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014 compared to the same time in the previous year. In the Yarra Ranges, total crime rates rose from 6144 to 6569 offences – a rise of 6.9 per cent – while in Cardinia, statistics jumped 22 per cent, from 4984 to 6080 offences over the 12 months. However, Cardinia Inspector Rob Wallace said the dramatic rise in of-
fences recorded was due to improved police presence on the streets. “In simple terms, local police have detected hundreds of extra offenders for offences such as the possession of weapons, anti-social behaviour and similar,� he said. “It is also an indication that local policing strategies to ensure police are in the right areas at the right times are having an impact.� Family violence assaults rose in both PSAs over the time period, with a 20 per cent rise in the Yarra Ranges and a 7 per cent rise in Cardinia. Yarra Ranges Inspector Colin McKinney said that the jump in statistics can be attributed to more confidence in the community in reporting cases to police. “Yarra Ranges (police) will continue to focus on family violence.

graphs of the Healesville district, some of which have not been displayed publicly before. Mr Mackenzie said he chose 19 June as the date for the launch at the RACV Country Club because it is the 150th anniversary of the death of Healesville namesake, Victorian Premier Richard Heales. H&DHS president Kevin Mason said the society was extremely grateful to Mr Mackenzie and to the bank for its collaboration on a project that would add significantly to their already large photographic collection. Community Bank chairman Gary Slater commended Mr Mackenzie on his generosity and said the bank was thrilled to be once again supporting the Healesville Historical Society. “We have had a relationship with the society from day one and that continues with our community investment in this project,� Mr Slater said. The collection will be progressively displayed in the bank from Tuesday 24 June until the end of November. The launch will take place at Healesville RACV Country Club at 6.30pm on Thursday 19 June with an open invitation to community members to attend.
HEALESVILLE RSL’s walls received a new addition last week from a generous member, with a large piece contributing to the venue’s historical displays. The piece features four panels of paintings of Australian Victoria Cross recipients, with a picture of the fabled medal in the centre. Affiliate member Grahame Poulter said that he came across the piece in Chirnside and thought its rightful place would be adorning the walls of his local RSL. “I saw it at a shop down at Chirnside Park saw that and some other military memorabilia, and purchased it then and there on the spot,� Mr Poulter said. “It would be great to have it up on the wall, with all of the refurbishments done here.� The Victoria Cross has special significance
among military honours, being the top recognition for gallantry in the armed forces. The Victoria Cross is only awarded for the “most conspicuous bravery�, or with acts of valour, self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty. RSL president Brian Luscombe said he was grateful for the donation of the piece, which will hang beside paintings of Australian soldiers at the venue, near military history displays. “It’s terrific - when Grahame first told me, I thought ‘Crikey!’� he said. Mr Luscombe said that he was proud of Mr Poulter for showing support to his local RSL, and that it was heartening to see people still involved in supporting the venue. “I’m very happy he’s done it.� The Victoria Cross recipients on the piece include Corporal Benjamin Roberts-Smith, Warrant Officer Class 2 Keith Payne, Corporal Mark Donaldson and Corporal Daniel Keighran.

MOUNT Evelyn residents attended the Mount Evelyn Community Meeting last Wednesday to discuss the future of the town. Mount Evelyn Environment Protection and Progress Association (MEEPPA) president Tim Heenan said there was a multitude of ideas discussed and he was pleased that 46 people turned out to the event. “We had all those questions answered that were needed to be answered and there is now an understanding of what’s going on with the empty buildings along Wray Crescent,” he said. Mr Heenan said one of the resounding messages from the night was to utilise the community link building like it was used five years ago. “To help promote tourism in the area we would like to see it filled with brochures and information about where you can go in the area there was even suggestions in making the area RV (recreational vehicle) friendly,” he said.
Despite initial reports that Yarra Ranges Council CEO Glenn Patterson and Billanook Ward councillor Maria McCarthy would be there, neither attended on the night. Cr McCarthy said that, given the operational nature of the content of the meeting, it was appropriate for officers to represent the council. “I look forward to working with the community and focus on how we will implement the actions out of the Mount Evelyn Community Plan that is coming before Council Forum in June,” she said. The Director of Social and Economic Development and executive officer of Property Maintenance Services Ali Wastie represented the council at the meeting. Ms Wastie said there was great energy and ideas from the community about the types of programs and services that could be provided by the Community Houses Association of the Outer Easter Suburbs and other community groups. She said it was fantastic to see a range of peo-

ple attending the meeting, including representatives from U3A, METIC, the Chamber of Commerce and people with an interest in promoting tourism in Mount Evelyn. The meeting also introduced the Mount Evelyn Community House which is currently in the set-up phase. Cr McCarthy said two neighbourhood houses for the Mount Evelyn community can only be a positive thing. “We have 11 neighbourhood houses in the Yarra Ranges and many have a presence in more than one area,” she said. “All neighbourhood houses are supported through the Neighbourhood House Network that council supports and the houses have a strong history in working together to complement one another. “Upper Yarra Community House are looking forward to seeing a permanent neighbourhood house established in Mount Evelyn.”

As part of the 2014 Victorian Education Excellence Awards, 14 winners over 14 categories were presented with professional development and research grants worth between $10,000 and $50,000 to honour and support the state’s best educators. Mr Spence was given the award for his work establishing meTV - a first in-school based daily television show with a focus on social and behavioural upskilling as well as teaching everyday skills. “We have taught kids to climb stairs that they couldn’t, to speak and even go to the toilet from them viewing the program,” he said. All students have a fair chance of starring in the show with a rotational system in place, enabling students to engage in a very hands-on way. Mr Spence said he was now working with other SDS schools across the state to set up similar television studio setups on a budget to ensure all students across the board have access. “We have set up a website where other schools can use our videos, subscribe and also upload their own, so we can all utilise each other’s work - we even have schools in Canada using them,” he said. “The students love it and are really benefitting from it.” Vice-principal Janet Taylor
THREE apple computers were stolen from a school in David Hill Road, Monbulk, last week. Police are asking for witnesses to come forward.

Police number EMERALD police have a new number. Phone 5954 0200 to speak to local police but in case of an emergency phone triple-zero.
Shed vandalised GRAFFITI vandals have once again damaged the Cockatoo Men’s Shed, community complex and childcare centre. Police say they believe the graffiti happened on Saturday night and are calling on witnesses to contact 5954 0200.
“It was fantastic to hear and see from the children themselves about how their teachers and principals are having such a positive impact on their lives,” Mr Dixon said. Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell said it was the dedication and passion of people working in our schools that inspired young minds to explore new possibilities, set ambitious goals, and prepare for new and exciting learning experiences. “Each story of education excellence highlighted among the 41 finalists is not only a personal triumph in a particular school or early learning service - it also inspires colleagues across the education sector,” she said. Check out the work of Mount Evelyn SDS students and teachers meTV at metveducation.com.au/meTV/.
said the whole school was extremely proud of Mr Spence’s achievements but the big winners were the students and the incredible development they had seen in them. “It’s incredibly satisfying to see children who have multiple impairments participating in the program at a skill level we never expected alongside their peers,” she said. “It really has blown us away.” Minister for Education Martin Dixon said these awards honour the remarkable people working in our schools who bring out the very best in our children. The ceremony also included ‘Thank a Teacher’ sketches, video footage and written tributes to the finalists by students, parents and colleagues.
Lock up or lose out UPWEY residents are yet again being reminded to lock their cars, even if parked in the driveway. The recent reminder comes as a dozen cars were broken into over the weekend with property and cash being stolen. Anyone with information is asked to contact Belgrave police on 9754 6677.

Your opinions sought on budget OVER the past few weeks, each level of government has handed down their budget for the 2014 to 2015 financial year. Premier Denis Napthine and State Treasurer Michael O’Brien handed down the Victorian Budget, which I am pleased to say has included many investments that will benefit the Yarra Ranges. Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey have delivered their first Federal Budget and along with 78 other local councils, Yarra Ranges Council delivered its draft budget and council plan, which

is currently open to public submission. While the media is abuzz with the budget announcements of the State and Federal Governments which will be debated in Parliament over the coming weeks, I would encourage ratepayers to look at their council’s budget also.
Each year councils conduct consultation with residents and other stakeholders to seek their views about budget options for the coming year and beyond. This process includes a 28-day public consultation, submission period and opportunity to present to the council. This is your opportunity to tell your council which services you think should be a priority and what infrastructure needs to be maintained, improved, replaced or constructed. The Coalition Government’s fourth State Budget has a great emphasis on creating improved infrastructure for
Victoria’s future. There is record investment in roads, public transport, health and education, all of which leads to better employment opportunities for the Yarra Ranges. Our changes to public transport will greatly benefit so many local residents by helping to reduce the cost of living through fairer and cheaper ticketing. Anyone who travels from Lilydale to the city each day for work or to study will benefit from more cash in their pocket. From the beginning of 2015, casual transport users will notice savings of

Boost for concerts By JESSE GRAHAM ROCHFORD Wines’ A Day on the Green concerts will be allowed to have unlimited patron numbers, with restricted parking, following a planning scheme amendment passed last week. The amendment, which allows concerts to be held without planning permits, uncapped patron limits and a 3000-vehicle parking limit, was passed at last week’s Yarra Ranges Council meeting. Provided that Planning Minister Matthew Guy signs off on the changes, concerts such as the A Day on the Green concert series will be allowed to take place without applying to council for permission yearly. Former Yarra Ranges councillor Jeanette McRae spoke at the coun-
cil meeting against the amendment, and said she did not support the uncapped patron limit. Ms McRae noted that the planning scheme amendment, which has been developed for the last two years, was originally advertised with a capacity limit of 10,000. She also said she wanted more public notification of the concert dates, so people that need to use the highway can plan to avoid it on the evening of concerts. Yarra Ranges director of Planning, Building and Health, Andrew Paxton, said while the original application was for a 10,000 patron limit, the council resolved for an uncapped limit for a public panel hearing earlier this year. James Goulding from SJB Planning represented Rochford at the
meeting, and said that the current system of using high-visibility lit signs one week from the concert was ample. However, he said Rochford would be willing to enter into discussions on how to better notify the community and that the venue’s Event Management Plan could be adjusted on this matter. Mr Goulding said traffic from the concerts would be mitigated by encouraging Lilydale-bound vehicles to head down Hill Road, rather than the highway, and by proposing an exit to be made via the property’s western boundary. He said due to the previous patron limit, the venue had been unable to book Bruce Springsteen for his recent A Day on the Green tour, and that the changes would benefit
the community. Mayor Fiona McAllister moved for the amendment to be approved and passed on to the minister, and the motion was passed in a vote. Cr McAllister said while driving along the highway on the night of a concert was “bloody annoying”, she believed the amendment’s restriction on parking might resolve some traffic issues. She said Rochford’s history of consulting with the community, along with the venue’s event management plan, would help to resolve any issues that arise in future. Councillor Jim Child declared an indirect conflict of interest in the item, as he had submitted on the matter before being elected to council, and was not present for the discussion or vote.
Goldsmiths mark milestone of 70 years By KATH GANNAWAY IVAN and Olive Goldsmith shared delightful, beautiful, romantic memories of a lifetime together when they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at Warburton on 21 May. It included their first date, a stroll and a kiss on a moonlit night under the pine trees above the channel, and their first photo together at Healesville Sanctuary. It was 1938 and Olive was 15 and Ivan 17. They met at Signs Publishing Company after Ivan’s father brought the family down from Sydney to work at Signs and Ivan took on a printing apprenticeship. They were engaged on Olive’s birthday, 30 November when she
Ivan and Olive Goldsmith, married for a wonderful 70 years, friends for even longer. 120999_01
Picture: KATH GANNAWAY was 19 and he 21, but had to wait for Ivan to get leave from service with the 10th Field Ambulance in WWII before they could marry. They wrote to each other every day during the war as Olive squirrelled
away ration coupons for whenever the big day might arrive. It came with just 10 days’ notice they were married in the chapel at the Sanitarium Health Foods factory and celebrated with a reception at the Masonic Hall over the road. Honeymoon photos at Apollo Bay showed a young couple very much in love. “At that time, we reckoned we knew each other and everything was going to work out,” Ivan said as they stepped up to cut their anniversary cake. “I remember I started off my speech by saying, ‘on behalf of me and my wife’ and everybody roared laughing.” It brought a round of applause
from friends and family who were celebrating with them at the Redwood Centre in Warburton. Shared values and interests, including family and faith, photography, holidays, sport, travel, gardening, work and more currently Probus, have kept them close. A photograph taken on Anzac Day shows them holding hands - just like they would have on their first moonlit night. “They have always walked hand in hand together,” their daughter Merilyn said. Their son Colin also spoke lovingly, saying they had been best friends for 75 years, in quality and quantity. “You don’t often see one without the other,” he said.
Council says no to racism By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Ranges councillors united against the Federal Government’s proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act in their recent meeting, saying the amendments water down protection from racism. At the council’s 27 May meeting, Mayor Fiona McAllister proposed a motion that the council reject the Federal Government’s proposed amendments, and to write to all federal ministers on the matter. The amendment to the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 was proposed by Federal AttorneyGeneral George Brandis earlier this year, and has been under heavy debate since. The changes aim to repeal sections 18B, 18C, 18D and 18E of the act, which protect residents from behaviour likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate them on the basis of their race, colour, national or ethnic origin. Under the amendment, these sections could be replaced with a single section which would make it unlawful to do an act likely to “vilify or intimidate” a person in public, under the same basis. Cr McAllister said the legislation currently protected all ethnicities from being discriminated against, and that the changes would dilute the protection currently given to residents, including the Indigenous population. The motion states that the proposed amendments should only be considered if they “genuinely strengthen legal protection against racial vilification,” but that, in this case, they do not. All of the councillors supported the motion, though many said that, with the closing of the consultation on the amendment on 30 April, it could be a gesture of little effect. However, Cr McAllister said the opposition to the amendments sent a message to the Yarra Ranges community, the wider community and politicians. “I don’t think we always should wade in on federal issues, but some we absolutely have to - I think these (changes) are not negotiable in relation to basic human rights,” she said. The council will write to all federal ministers and Yarra Ranges federal MPs, stating the council’s position on the matter.

Free to walk I AM delighted to see the footpath being constructed on Haig Avenue, Healesville. I hope that the installation of the path will encourage carers of young children to walk with them from home to the nearby schools and other children’s services close by. There are many reasons why children no longer walk very much, but the benefits of walking are mammoth to a child’s development. Walking promotes a strong erect gait, which many children today don’t have. Walking and skipping along helps a child to feel confident in their bodies. They may see a great straight gutter edge to balance along, a metal pole to run towards and jump up and swing around on, or a metal horizontal beam just perfect for flipping over. Walking also enhances children’s gross and fine motor co-ordination by sending electrical impulses to both the left and right hemispheres of the brain, switching on different areas of the brain which are important for effective learning, listening, retaining and recalling information. So take a little time to walk to school, kinder or childcare with your little ones. Turn off the telly and the car, leave your iPod and turn off your phone, leave home early and spend quality time walking in this beautiful town of ours. Point out the great big trees, golden and red in autumn, blossoms in spring, wattle in winter and experience our season’s different weathers in our great outdoors! This is the best head start you can give your child for their day and their life and it’s free! Catherine Nolan, Early childhood educator
Banking on coal I AM not an ANZ Bank customer, but if I were, I’d have moved my account from there in any case, on 2 May. This is because the ANZ Bank is a major investor in the coal ports projects that will certainly wreck the Great Barrier Reef. News was made around the world last year when a recording station in Hawaii recorded four parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere. The pre-industrial level was 2.8. It has been calculated that 3.5 is the maximum that will avert disaster.
This year, the average has been consistently above 4.0 ppm. What was an incredible record is now what we have on an ongoing basis. Therefore, it is essential to change from coal and other carbon-intensive sources of fuel to alternatives. Here in Victoria, the effects of climate change are: more severe and dangerous bushfires, and longer and more severe droughts. What in recent years has been an exceptionally wet year was drier than usual 20 years ago. So, I am glad that local businesses are looking to move their business from the ANZ. Unfortunately, the Commonwealth and National banks also have major investments in the killer coal projects. The good news is that the Bendigo Bank does not. Bob Rich, Healesville
Plants pinched TO THE greedy, selfish person who dug up the maiden-hair ferns in the little fernery on the north side of the River Walk in Warburton: We have been developing this fernery for the enjoyment of the whole community, not to provide free plants for people who are too mean to spend a few dollars at one of the local nurseries. Those ferns had been carefully hand-watered through the long, hot summer and were just starting to establish themselves. Shame on you. Janet Sowden, Warburton
Narconon fight LAST week, 300 objectors from our community received notification that Narconon has lodged an appeal with VCAT against the unanimous decision made by the Shire of Yarra Ranges to refuse a planning application for Narconon’s proposed move to Green Gables, Warburton. You can familiarise yourself with the reasons for council’s rejection of this application by reading the Freedom Of Information (FOI) summary, the prepared statement delivered to council by Say No To Narconon, and council’s detailed reports. These documents can be found on the website www.saynotonarconon.org along with many other references that will be of interest.
Jim Henderson, a Healesville icon THIS 150th Birthday year for Healesville is not just a chance to celebrate, but an opportunity to recognise and pay tribute to some of the unique characters of our town. One such character was Jim (J.A.) Henderson. Jim came to Healesville in 1946 after returning from Hitler’s War, which he spent in Egypt, Tobruk, Italy and England. He was in charge of Air Defence in Egypt for two years. During his time in the Australian Light Horse, Jim recalled in his war diary, “I was the section horse holder. “As I was the best rifle shot in the troop, it had seemed inappropriate, but I was vaguely grateful the others had given me a less dangerous part in my first battle. How wrong I was. “Only a fool or a suicide would elect to let his fellows lie hugging the ground, while he sat, a target, among the churning bunch of frantic horses.” ‘We had ridden right through the enemy position. The small arms section continued for half an hour till dusk fell. “Our job was finished. We had turned their flank. The Turks were leaving Beersheba.” Jim had already filled a lifetime with action at two wars, lost everything in the Depression, and a home and business burnt out in the 1939 fires. However, he managed to buy some land next to Maroondah Dam, and went on to develop a holiday park and the ‘famous’ kiosk, which was a thriving business and was reputed to be the ‘biggest seller of ice cream in the state, in the ’50s and ’60s. As well as hard work, he liked to write, and had humorous pieces published by The Age and The Morning Post. His book of poems, ‘The World So Wide’ was published. This paradoxically, was largely war poems glorifying peace. “Platypoems” from Healesville, written in 1947, was signature to his wit, and his love of Healesville;

“Where the hills come down to Healesville, There are birds and beasts galore There are Wallabanggaroosters, And the Hot-Cross Bunyips roar. But the world sat up and wondered, at the what and where and why, Of the Platypus-puss-pusses, (Or is it platypi?). There are wombats in the gullies, There’s a dingbat, For a pound. The porcupines are willing, to piggyback him round. And kookaburras laughing Oh, laughing fit to die, at the funny platypusses, (I mean the platypi). – Platypoems from Healesville – by J.

Our concerns and issues with Narconon’s proposal for Green Gables are significantly greater now than in March. We encourage people of the community of Warburton, and anyone concerned with the practices of Narconon, to submit an objection (Statement of Grounds) to VCAT. This is now a new process and no prior objections will be included in VCAT’s assessment unless we submit again individually and directly to the VCAT office. The cover sheet and guidelines for preparing an objection are on our website, together with sample letters for you to follow and all the details you will need. There is no cost associated with lodging an objection. You do not need to have been one of the original group of objectors to lodge your concerns with VCAT - in fact we anticipate that given the damaging information that was revealed through FOI requests regarding the safety threats to our community that many more members of our community will now have reason to lodge an objection. We do not object to appropriately accredited and monitored drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in the area; the proposed site is an inappropriate location for the relocation of Narconon, who are not accountable to any health or government organisations. The Say No To Narconon team, together with all objectors, will continue to represent the best interests of the Warburton community and give statements at VCAT proceedings. Our intention is to vigorously oppose the application for Green Gables and to fully support the Shire of Yarra Ranges whose decision last March was made with fairness and due consideration of the issues and amenity of this community. Once again Narconon have evidenced an unacceptable disregard for the people in this community and the decisions of our local council. Objections should be received at VCAT prior to 18 June 2014. For updates join our mailing list by sending an email to Help@SayNoNarcononWarburton. org and visit our website. For assistance please contact our hotline on 0422 152 536. Your questions are welcome.

Rocked by closure AFTER hearing of the closure of our ANZ Bank here in Healesville, we, like many other customers, are totally devastated! We have been dealing with our wonderful branch for the last 37 years, in which time the staff and services have been second to none. And now the big nobs, who just look at their computers and have no idea what customer service is, and all the help we need at our branch here in Healesville, expect us to go to Lilydale! The personal touch is just so lovely. One instance for us was when my mum passed away and Wendy took her lunchtime and came to her service - I’m more than positive that would not happen elsewhere. Closing Healesville is just a joke. We will be changing banks. Jill and David Robins, Healesville
Diana’s helpers TO EVERYONE who has donated to the ‘please help Diana fund’, thankyou very much for all your support. I can’t believe such a mean and senseless act of vandalism could have such a joyful outcome in the end. What a great community we have in the Yarra Valley because of all you good people in it; it’s people like you that give a community its heart (something this world could always do with more of). I can’t begin to express how grateful I am, because words just don’t express the depth of my gratitude. None of this would have been possible without Jackie Robinson, who arranged the whole thing. Thank you Jackie - thank you from the bottom of my heart. And I want to mention Judy and Grant Morris, (UYSC chaplain). Thank you so much Grant and Judy for arranging the community car for me to use and the guy in Woori Yallock, who has kindly allowed me to use his car until the rego runs out. I hope that all the kindness you’ve shown me comes back to you all tenfold. Diana Underwood, Three Bridges
Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 26 May 1934 Healesville’s Early Days Mr. Phillipe is proudly a true Healesville-ite. He was born and educated here and comes of pioneer stock. The famous beauty spot, Donnelly’s Creek, was named after his late mother’s first husband who resided there with the family on what is now known as Wallder’s slaughter yards. Aboriginals roamed the Healesville bush in those far off days some 70 years ago and young Henry’s mother often told him how they called at the bark hut for tea and sugar. The only medical aid available then was rendered by the late Mr. John Green of Green’s Hill who later took charge of the aboriginal station at its inception. Mr. Phillipe’s father, the late W.H. Phillipe was one of the first to pack goods across the ‘spur to the gold diggings at Wood’s Point and was also one of the first brickmakers and bricklayers at Healesville. The kilns were situated at the junction of Lilydale and Crowley’s Road. A Nifty Night at Narbethong The Narbethong School has been re-opened after being closed for three years. To celebrate the event and to raise funds for use in connection with the school a very enjoyable social was held in the Narbethong Hall last Friday night. The dancing festivities were held under real old-time conditions which greatly increased the fun. Hurricane lamps provided the illuminations while the ‘King’s Table’ was lit by the feeble glimmer of a candlestick stuck in a bottle. Music was supplied by Mrs. Burton’s orchestra. Marysville residents were well represented and about 40 made the trip from Healesville. World Publicity for Healesville Within the next few weeks, a leading cinematographer will visit
the district and obtain a talking picture of the beauty spots together with the animals in the Sir Colin Mackenzie Sanctuary. The picture will be screened throughout the world at the famous Roxy Theatre in New York, on the Empress luxury liners that sail between New York and England and on the Matson liners sailing between America and Australia. Warburton Mail 29 May 1964 Lilydale defeated Millgrove In the match of the day last Saturday, last year’s premiers, Millgrove, were given a football lesson in an incident-packed game on the Lilydale Oval. At one stage, the ‘Dale were playing so well that the umpire thought they had 19 men on the ground and amidst heckling from the crowd, he lined them up for a count. The final score was Lilydale 16.12 (108) to Millgrove 8.6 (54). Round Up Lovely sunny days attracted a large influx of visitors to Warburton over the school holidays and shopkeepers, in particular, were more than grateful for the increased patronage. On Monday night, the weather broke and with the change came the first taste of winter. Snow fell on Mt Donna Buang. Mail That ‘old bugbear’ the late delivery of morning mail to towns en route to Warburton is again under revision. The Warburton Advancement League is making representations to the Post Master - General’s Department for an earlier am delivery service. Mrs. Bill Howard of Warburton appeared on Channel 9’s ‘It Could Be You’ on Tuesday. Betty was really cool and calm and for her TV debut she collected an electric jug. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Royce Ottrey of Warburton. Maree Jane are the names chosen for their latest addition to the family circle. A new X-ray plant is at present being installed at the Warburotn Hospital and will be in operation next week. The unit, the very latest, is of
German construction and will fulfil any requirements in the field of -ray. Warburton Mail June 5 1964 New Shire Hall for Upper Yarra Upper Yarra Shire Council has been toying with the idea to either rebuild or renovate and enlarge the old Shire Hall at Yarra Junction for many ears, but so far nothing has been done. Now at last a move is afoot and something could eventuate. McMahon’s Creek Hotel Broken Into Thieves broke into the McMahon’s Creek Hotel on Tuesday night and stole a TV, bottled spirits and cigarettes valued at approximately £150. The licensee, Mr. Bill Innes discovered the loss next morning. The thieves were evidently well informed as they must have known that Mr. Innes had lost his watch dog only recently. Round Up The Department of Crown Lands and Survey has asked the Upper Yarra Shire Council for its opinion on the application lodged by Mr. R.J. Ramsay for a permit to remove sand on a royalty basis from the bed of the Little Yarra River from the Warburton railway line at Yarra Junction to the township of Powelltown. The council did not take long to reach a decision - they were strongly opposed to any proposal to dredge the Little Yarra River. At last, Yarra Junction is getting somewhere with the proposal to build a bowling green. Naturally raising the necessary finance has been the holdup, but this may no longer be a problem as on Tuesday night the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve Co-operative Society was formed with the view of raising sufficient money to build the green and also develop an area of council owned land adjoining the recreation reserve into a caravan and camping park. Two thousand five hundred shares costing £ 1 will be offered. – Contributed by Ellena Biggs

AS COLD AS ICE
Ser vices not straightforward By KATH GANNAWAY TRYING to get a handle on what services are available in Yarra Ranges for drug users and for families affected by drug use is not simple or conclusive. The Mail’s plan to print a comprehensive list of the services available town by town has proven problematic. The timing is out with a ‘recommissioning’ by the government of services across the state putting the whole sector in a state of flux. Basically the services are up for tender, with a push for larger consortiums. In the meantime some services are no longer available. “Are you talking about right now, or after the ‘recommissioning’ ... because after the recommissioning, nobody re-
ally knows what services will be available, or if they will be centralised, outreach or some other model,” is how one provider put it. EACH (Eastern Access Community Health), Anglicare, Inspiro Health and Yarra Valley Community Health (Eastern Health) are among the main players in providing drug and alcohol counselling and rehabilitation services in Yarra Ranges. Larger providers are seeing the ‘revamping of the sector’ in a more positive light pointing out that the existing service provision is hard to navigate and that people in need of multiple services can fall through the gaps. Smaller providers such as the Maroondah Addictions Recovery Program
(MARP) have pulled out of the race as an independent and merged under larger umbrellas. The conversations “off the record” reveal other concerns - such as no methodone program in Healesville. Anyone needing that service must go to Wandin or Lilydale. “The community still has very punitive views which often means chemists, and even GPs don’t want to offer a service that is seen as bad for business, or for their staff,” one provider told the Mail. Rehabilitation is another problem with long waiting lists, and according to one provider, closing off waiting lists, for residential treatment. A spokesman for the Minister for
Mental Health and Community Services Mary Wooldridge told the Mail the outcome of the recommissioning for drug and alcohol services would be announced in the near future. There are services still running in Healesville, Yarra Junction, Belgrave and Lilydale. The ‘help line’ numbers published in last week’s Mail remain the best at this stage. Direct Line 1800 888 236 is a 24/7 first response information and referral help line for users and others impacted by drug use. SURE (Substance Use Recovery Eastern) 1300 007 873 offers counselling for ICE and other addictions. Business hours.
What is it? ICE and crystal meth are street names for crystal methamphetamine – a very powerful amphetamine. It looks a little like sheets of glass or ice and people smoke, snort or inject it. It’s also called meth, crystal, shabu and glass.
Dance with the devil By REBECCA BILLS “IT’S LIKE you are two different people – the devil and you.” This is how former ice user Jason (not his real name) describes his experience with the drug. “And I can say now that the last thing I would ever do is get back on the ice,” he said. “Your brain would be that wired for days after that you don’t feel human. “It’s the devil’s drug, that’s what people are calling it, it really is f**king people.” The 24-year-old said it got to the stage where he could not even go for a night out without a pipe. “You go to a cubicle and have a burn then go back out – it’s just like going to the toilets and snorting some coke,” he said. “The motion is addictive, so is the high.” However this is not a drug that is just circling the nightclub industry, young teenagers are getting their hands on it too. “There is a big problem, I’ve seen kids as young as 15 on the drug, in saying that I first tried it when I was 16,” he said. “Depending on your friendship group, there is a lot of pressure, and I would say it has become part of the social culture in this area to at least try it and it is very easy to get your hands on.” Jason said ice prices had decreased over the last few years, making it more accessible. “You would be paying, depending on how good the quality was, between $800 to $1000 a gram, but now it’s around $400 to $500 a gram,” he said. When asked where people get the money to feed the addiction he said “you tell me”. “That’s where crime does come into it – stealing generally from their family and friends as they just need that hit,” he said. “I know people that would rather spend their last $100 on a few points of ice than go to the supermarket and have food for the week. “They just want more and more and more, it’s sad.” He said although he only dabbled in the drug, his brother was an addict for about five years. “It was really getting the better of him these last few years though,” he said. “He could even start to see the changes, he wasn’t liking it, he wasn’t happy. “For him to cut it out of his life he had to cut out the people that were still doing it, and that still hurts him.” Jason said he watched as the drug took hold of his older brother, a man he looked up to, and the distress that caused him personally. “He became very moody, and relied on the drug to get him to work,” he said. “It wasn’t a good sight, he would stay up for three to four days at a time then sleep for two days straight – it was very upsetting. “And I guess for young people wanting to try ice you can’t really stop them, but at the end of the day I can say from experience it is no good.”
Ice effects SHORT TERM: INCREASED heart rate and breathing, hypertension, circulatory and heart problems. It increases libido, so users are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour resulting in an increased risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Seeing the pain up close By JESSE GRAHAM STORIES about the damage that ice can cause are often told by police, medical officers and paramedics, who have seen first-hand the destruction and chaos that the drug can bring. But much of the sentiments about the drug’s destructive capabilities have been echoed by James (not his real name), a resident in the outer east who has previously used the drug. James, who is in his twenties, told the Mail that, when he had used crystal methamphetamine (ice), the experience left him feeling dirty, underwhelmed and “highly strung”.
“It felt dirty – it didn’t feel like a nice experience,” he said. He said that, while on the drug, it was easy to lose track of entire days, and that coming down from the drug was a “horrendous” experience that could last anywhere up to three days. James said he felt that experience alone was a deterrent from continuing to use the drug, but that he had also seen people “completely destroyed” by long-term ice use. “It’s very rapid in that it quickly affects your mind,” he said. “They had almost developed full-on paranoia – they thought their friends were talking about them when they left the room.
“And as you come down, the paranoia gets more intense, and more intense, and more intense.” These sentiments were echoed by Turning Point clinical director Doctor Matt Frei, who told the Mail last week the drug was associated with sleepless nights, paranoia and violent behaviour. Other emergency services workers have said that violent rages are common for ice users, with stories of users with seemingly the strength of 10 men, and OC foam having no effect on quelling violent rages. James said that, after experiencing the drug first-hand and seeing the damage it could so easily bring, a brush with ice was not something he wanted to repeat.
LONG TERM: OVER time, ice literally ages people. Injecting it causes scarring, abscesses, vein damage and increases the risk of blood-borne pathogens. Heavy users suffer damaged teeth, skin lesions, malnutrition, reduced lung function and general aches, pains and cramping. Aside from the risk of stroke, it has also been shown to affect mental health and cognitive function – ice addicts suffer paranoia, hallucinations, memory loss, sleep deprivation and psychosis.
How ice changed her man By MELISSA MEEHAN WHEN Rachel first met him, he was a charming and energetic guy vying for her affection. They dated for a few months, and while she took no notice of the signs, they were there. Months after she broke off the relationship, friends said they heard he was on crystal methamphetamine (ice) and it all started to make sense. “Looking back, I think I was a little blind,” Rachel said. “He never slept, and could be awake all night but when he did
sleep, he would stay in bed for days.” She thought nothing of it back then, but added to his obsessive tendencies, she no longer felt comfortable when alone with him. “He became so obsessive about me, and who I spoke to,” she said. “It was similar to jealousy, but just a lot more full-on. “He would turn up at my house late at night, text message me throughout the day and call at all hours.” While he was never physically
violent towards Rachel, she remembers feeling increasingly scared of him and unsure of what he would do next. “He became very aggressive, not physically – but he would punch his fist through walls,” she said. Now, Rachel can’t believe she was in a relationship with an ice user. “I see all these ice-related murders on the TV and think, that could have been me,” she said. “He was never that violent, but with this drug, you never know what they will do next.”
How they smell What does a meth lab smell like? Meth labs can smell like cat urine, rotten eggs, sewer gas, ether, wet diapers, paint thinners, paint removers, adhesives, cleaning fluids, vinegar, pickled foods, cattle feedlots, and fertilisers.

Partners for recovery As the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater celebrates its 25th birthday, environmental co-ordinator James Frazer looks at the value of partnerships.

Great Forest on horizon By KATH GANNAWAY A DISCUSSION on the proposal to create the Great Forest National Park across Central Highlands is the focus of an International Environment Day meeting in Warburton on Thursday 5 June. The meeting, organised by Warburton Environment and hosted by local comedian Michael Veitch, will be held at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre from 7pm to 9.30pm.
The Great Forest National Park is a vision championed by Dr David Lindenmeyer, the world authority on Leadbeater’s Possum, who has called for the establishment of the park as a measure to protect the highly endangered possum from extinction. The meeting will address issues including how the park would boost tourism and economic sustainability for Warburton and the Central Highlands.
Warburton Environment spokesperson Karina Doughty encouraged all members of the community go along to hear about what is proposed, and to have the opportunity to put questions to the guest speakers. There will be live classical music from 7pm and supper at 8pm. Assistance is available for transport and with childcare. For more information visit www.facebook.com/WarburtonEnvironment or phone 0416 181 171.
PARTNERSHIPS have been the key to a successful helmeted honeyeater recovery program. Over the past 25 years, the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater has developed longstanding partnerships with many other groups and organisations which share an interest in the plight of our state bird emblem. These partnerships range from schools and community organisations to government agencies. Fostering a close working relationship with government agencies has been particularly important. Partnering with government agencies has allowed us to build our capacity through grants and shared programs but the reciprocity also goes both ways we have been able to step in and provide crucial volunteer support when resourcing shortfalls are identified. We’ve also been able to provide a strong voice to lobby for improved resourcing of helmeted honeyeater recovery. When the Friends group formed in 1989 its members were not required to work in the reserve because there was a dedicated works crew. As this resourcing was taken away in the 1990s, the Friends members stepped in to undertake habitat planting and source funds for works. This soon evolved into a partnership approach, with ongoing meetings to ensure all stakeholders were prioritising works as part of a wider shared

vision. Representatives of the Friends group also sit on the Helmeted Honeyeater Recovery Team to assist with recovery planning and ensure a community voice is heard. This year, the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater acknowledge a very special partner, the Healesville-based Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association. This organisation has done much to support helmeted honeyeater conservation, including the purchase of land for addition to the reserve. This relationship continues as the Friends group has recent-
ly received a generous revegetation grant from JESWA in conjunction with the Yarra4Life program. We are confident JESWA will see a great return on its investment.

Assaults on the rise By JESSE GRAHAM FAMILY violence, assault, thefts and drug offences are all on the rise in the Yarra Ranges, but police have said they’re making headway with crime, despite rising statistics. Victoria Police published its latest crime statistics for Police Service Areas (PSAs) on Wednesday 28 May, comparing crimes recorded between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2013 with the same time in the previous year. Overall crime rose 6.9 per cent between the two time periods, and key crime issues were family violence (rising 20 per cent), assaults excluding family violence (rising 32.8 per cent), and general drug offences, which rose 6.7 per cent. Yarra Ranges Inspector Colin McKinney said that thefts from mo-
tor vehicles rose from 560 incidents in the 2012-2013 period to 612, due to people leaving their cars unlocked. “It was evident during the reporting process that victims were leaving vehicles unlocked in garages, driveways and on residential streets,” Insp McKinney said. “Items of value are also still being left in vehicles visible to offenders, making it a crime of opportunity.” He said that the rise in family violence cases, which went up from 352 cases in 2012-2013 to 424 in the following year, could be attributed to more confidence in reporting incidents to the police. “Yarra Ranges (police) will continue to focus on family violence,” Insp McKinney said.
“Improved confidence is already apparent through the increased reporting of family violence and increased referral of people in need to support agencies.” A divisional family violence unit is currently operating in the Yarra Ranges to target the issue and provide guidance to those in need. Residential burglaries dropped 13.5 per cent over the time period, with 416 recorded for the 20132014 period - down from 481 in the year before - though Insp McKinney warned residents not to be complacent. “Police have been making some good in-roads into reducing residential burglaries over the last two months, however we must continue to be aware of home and personal security,” he said. “School and industrial burglar-
ies continue to be a challenge and we will work with our partners and stakeholders to continue to reduce this crime. Insp McKinney said on-going patrols and investigations would continue to reduce the number of burglaries. Road trauma was another big issue for police under the new statistics, with road fatalities and serious injuries rising between the 2012 and 2013 calendar years. Serious injuries rose from 482 to 547 in this time, a rise of 13.5 per cent, while fatalities on the roads rose from five in 2012 to eight in 2013.

Frank account of history By KATH GANNAWAY FRANK Colverson’s book ‘Being Frank’, a personal perspective on a life-time in Yarra Junction released last year has sparked an even more ambitious project, which is well on its way. Frank is part of a team of six local people working on the Yarra Junction History Book Project that aims to publish a history of Yarra Junction in words and pictures from Aboriginal times to the present day. The years 2014 and 2015 have been earmarked for research and to commence writing, with plans to release the book in 2016. The team anticipates that a Back To Yarra Junction at the Upper Yarra Historical Museum on 16 November will be an opportunity to add to
the already substantial collection of photographs, recollections, personal anecdotes, documents and other memorabilia. “We are going right back to Aboriginal times, the early explorers, in particular Robert Hoddle and his exploration up the Yarra (River) and around this area,” Frank said. “We will work through land selection and the beginning of the township, the early industries and infrastructure, talk about the people and the social life, the effects of the Depression and world wars, the timber strike and celebrities who have been connected with the town.” Yarra Ranges Council’s O’Shannassy Ward councillor Jim Child is on the committee, and says the project is already bringing the

Coupe change concerns By JESSE GRAHAM VICFORESTS has moved to calm concerns about a Toolangi coupe that was removed from its Timber Release Plan (TRP) - only to be added in under a different name. The coupe, which was named 297-505-0003, was removed under the logging body’s latest TRP, but added back in under the name 297-5210001 with the same boundary. Concerns were expressed by Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum member Steve Meacher who said the coupe is currently home to the endangered species. In a letter to the Leadbeater’s possum group, Mr Meacher said the only change to the coupe was the address. However, VicForests general manager of Stakeholder and Planning Nathan Trushell said that the re-submission of the coupe was correcting an administrative error. “It was simply the case that this coupe’s boundary was incorrectly mapped and needed to be amended,” he said. “The administrative process to correct this mapping error required the coupe to be removed from the TRP, and then re-added. “This resulted in a new coupe identification number and new boundary.” Mr Trushell said that all coupes listed in the TRP will be harvested in line with the recentlyreleased Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) recommendations. One of the key recommendations was the doubling of the current logging buffer zones when a possum colony is identified to 200 metres. Mr Meacher, along with world expert on the Leadbeater’s possum David Lindenmayer, said the buffer zone would not provide enough protection for colonies to flourish in the long term. The TRP outlines 28 new logging coupes in Toolangi, 13 in Powelltown, 22 in Noojee and 30 in Marysville. VicForests’ TRP is open for public consultation until Friday 6 June.

Salvaging hospital
Vibes of fine wine By ANEEKA SIMONIS
By JESSE GRAHAM THE Healesville Hospital campaign is nearing its next stage, and community members are being urged to help give the group a leg-up with a fund-raiser later this month. The fund-raising event will be held at White Rabbit Brewery on Wednesday 25 June, where 100 people will be able to wine (or, in this case, beer) and dine to help the Save Healesville Hospital Action Group (SHHAG). Profits raised from the evening’s pizza sales, donations and a raffle will go towards an independent business case study for the Healesville Hospital. The case study will be run over a 2030 day period, and will assess whether the hospital would be better off continuing under Eastern Health or as an independent rural hospital. SHHAG member and White Rabbit employee Angela McSweeney said the group was trying to raise as much money as possible before the end of the month. “We need to get the first stage started before the end of June,” she said. “We have a little bit of money in the bank, but we want to raise the rest.”
LOVERS of Cuban percussion and the fine wines of the Yarra Valley will not have to wait for the annual Cuban Jazz festival to shake and dance like a Sambasita dancer. The Rochford Winery is putting on a winter music festival, Vineyard Vibes, which will promise the same vibe as the much-anticipated Cuban Jazz festival, yet with a warming twist. Starting at 6pm on Saturday 28 June, guests will leave the cold bite of winter at the doorstep as they party to the bongos by the fire indoors. Serving hot mulled wine and a roast dinner, the event will showcase Cuban band, Clavemania along with exotic, hip-shaking dancers’ centre of stage. House DJs will also shake the Rochford walls for a night to remember. If you get in early, tickets for the Vineyard Vibes festival are just $60 which also includes one roast dinner, a glass of wine and a partystarting flashing cocktail glass. For inner-city Melburnians, they can get the same package along with a return trip on the Wine Quest bus
Angela McSweeney is urging the community to come along to the Save Healesville Hospital Action Group (SHHAG) fund-raiser and help the campaign. 121220 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM Ms McSweeney said there had been strong community support, particularly through the donation of items to be raffled off. First prize in the raffle is a Global Ballooning flight, valued at $600, second prize is a night’s stay at Balgownie Estate in Yarra Glen, third prize is a $200 travel voucher from Yarra Valley travel, while fourth prize is a wine pack and fifth prize is a $100 voucher for Innocent Bystander in Healesville.
Ms McSweeney said the group was still in contact with local businesses in regards raffle prizes, so they might be subject to change. She said tickets for the raffle were $2, and winners would be drawn at the fund-raising event and then contacted. Entry to the fund-raiser at White Rabbit Brewery is $20 per person, and spaces are limited to 100. For more information, call 5962 6516.

Mutant power rules By SETH HYNES X-MEN: Days of Future Past is an intelligent, poignant and thoroughly exciting follow-up to 2011’s celebrated X-Men: First Class. Days of Future Past is a partial reboot of the franchise, and involves Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) being sent back in time to 1973, where he must prevent Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from assassinating scientist Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), whose death will lead to an oppressive future of mutant genocide. After First Class, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender once again deliver excellent performances of subtle conviction as Charles Xavier and Magneto respectively, old friends who are torn apart by differing ideologies, yet forced to work together for the good of all mutants. The moving, quietly tragic personal drama
MELBOURNE’S CHEAPEST MOVIE PRICES
with Xavier and Magneto works effectively with the broader time travel assassination plot to form an enthralling narrative about change. The film questions whether time or human identity can truly be altered, and suggests that changing human minds may be the harder task. But beyond the film’s contemplative core, Bryan Singer is still a virtuoso action director: the fast-paced fights are inventively brutal, the stunts are very creative and Quicksilver’s (Evan Peters) hilariously cool slow-time action sequence will have you cheering. It’s just a pity that Wolverine, who sets the plot in motion, is the least interesting character. Among this year’s comic book movies, XMen: Days of Future Past may be the smartest, most polished and powerfully emotional one yet. Overall, an exceptional entry.

LOVINGLY maintained and featuring superb gardens and views, this three-bedroom brick home is in a prime location. The selling agent says it is rare for houses that back onto the Warburton golf course to become available so would-be buyers need to be quick to inspect this neat home. The L-shaped lounge/dining area is great for entertaining guests and family, while the kitchen/meals area is functional and spacious. The master bedroom is of generous proportions and includes a private ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Other extras include two split systems and electric heating. The new owners will be able to enjoy the outdoors all year by relaxing undercover or by pulling up a chair in the paved, sunny position and pondering on their next game of golf. The concrete drive leads to a double carport and there is a garden shed to store the clubs. It is close to the Yarra River, shops and transport.

A Little bit about me:
Eve is a gentle and cuddly smooch would love nothing more than to have a bed or a couch to sleep on! Due to her white skin, she would need to be an inside only cat but we don’t think she will mind! Her perfect household would be one where she can get lots of love, and she would be good with older children.
Marcus is a big, bold boy and is such a delight to have around the Cattery. He loves exploring his surroundings and you’ll most likely find him wandering around smooching up to staff and volunteers. He would be great for most households and he would prefer older children.
Lovable Lucy is sharp as a tack, she is always looking for the next adventure that you can go on together. She is looking for an active family that has the time to give her plenty of exercise and stimulation, and show her that there is a place for high speed fun and a time to relax.
Blaize is in great shape for his age, he finds everything in life to be one big game, that may even extend to doing what he’s told. He is very set in his ways and will need someone who is pretty dog savvy to not let this clever cookie take the lead.

Ivy
Breed: Jack Russell Mix Sex: Male Age: 7 Years
Breed: DSH Sex: Female Age: 5 Years Colour: Grey Tabby
Colour: Tri Colour
A Little bit about me: Curly had an old fracture in his pelvis and was experiencing constant tenderness in his hips. Since he has been he has had hip surgery and recovered very well and is now up for adoption. Curly has had a tough life up until now, please consider adopting Curly and give him the love he has so sadly missed out on. Sponsored by . . .
A Little About Me: Penny is a very friendly cat and has a really lovely personality. She is happiest when she is being treated to lots of cuddles and pats. She is fine with other cats and although she hasn\’t ventured too far from her pen here at the shelter, we feel that she is confident enough to adjust to most household situations.
Breed: Kelpie X Staffy Sex: Male Age: 8 months Colour: Black & Tan A Little About Me: Clive lives life to the full and doesn’t waste a second of the day, always wanting to be part of the action. He is only young and he certainly has a lot to learn but he has the smarts to gain a lot of new skills. This little chap may test the novice dog owner but he will be a breeze for someone who is an experienced canine companion.
Breed: DSH Sex: Female Age: 1 Year Colour: Black Tortoiseshell
A Little About Me: Ivy has been with us for some time now but this easy-going young cat with much love to give. She is a typical torti in many ways; she\’s independent and likes things on her own terms. With her friendly nature and low maintenance personality, Ivy would suit most households.

Wandin starts to get its season back on track
YVMDFNL First Division Seniors Wandin 17.12 (114) d Healesville 11.15 (81) WANDIN got its season back on track to a degree with a good win over a Healesville side that has shown good form over the previous weeks. The game started evenly with Wandin holding a two point lead at quarter time and then extending that lead to 18 points at the half on the back of a six goal to three quarter time. Wandin continued its good form in the third, scoring another six goal quarter but Healesville stayed in touch booting four goals. Healesville had some run in the third but the game was put on hold for 25 minutes due to an injury and its momentum was lost. Wandin took a 28-point lead into the last. The last quarter was not a pretty affair but Healesville just could not eat into Wandin’s lead to be a threat, Wandin winning the quarter by just five points but, more importantly, the game by 33. Best Wandin: R. Wilson (3), R. Ross, K. Talevski (4). Healesville: J. Mende, L. Barclay, B. Miller (1). Woori Yallock 21.12 (138) d Warburton Millgrove 12.6 (78) WOORI Yallock bounced back after last week’s loss with an emphatic 50 point win over Warby. Woori started in fine form with great direct play booting 7.1 to 2.4 to grab a handy 27 point lead at the first break. The second term was an even contest but Woori’s early accuracy left it as it booted 3.6 in the second to Warby’s four straight which kept the margin at 27 points at half time. Any chance of a comeback from Warby was quickly put to rest in the third as Woori ran over the top of it with a great seven goal quarter while Woori held Warby to just one and all of a sudden the margin was blown out to 11 goals at three quarter time. To Warby’s credit it did outscore Woori five goals to four in the last but Woori was just too good early in this game and never gave Warby any real chance. Best Woori Yallock: B. Monkhorst (6), J. Adams (1), M. Bonuda (2). Warburton Millgrove: G. Newing, M. Wappett (2), J. Iacono. Second Division Seniors Seville 25.20 (170) d Kinglake 5.5 (35) AFTER a reasonably competitive first quarter this game was all Seville, it held a six goal lead at half time. But that was actually flattering to Kinglake as Seville did waste a lot of opportunities and its margin should have been greater. Seville certainly straightened up in the second half as it did what it pleased scoring a very accurate 18.6 with Kane Jones having a field day finishing with 12 majors. Kinglake could only manage anoth-
er two goals in the second half. Seville now sits second on the ladder and only percentage off top spot - it has a chance to take top spot if it can knock off Yarra Glen next week in what should be a great encounter. Best Seville: L. Nash (2), K. Jones (12), C. Penwill (3). Kinglake: M. Robertson (1), J. Butterworth, B. Brown. Powelltown 23.19 (157) d Yarra Glen 13.7 (85) POWELLTOWN played its best game of the year as it not only beat what was the undefeated Yarra Glen, it also delivered a football lesson. From the outset Powelltown was outstanding. It led by 27 points at quarter time but the margin should have been greater as it peppered the goals scoring 5.9 to two goals. Powelltown stretched its lead to 38 points at half time and it was going to be a real test to see if Yarra Glen could come back. Powelltown put any comeback beyond doubt in the third as it made Yarra Glen look second rate as it slammed on 10 third quarter goals to four and the margin was a huge 79 points at the last change. Yarra Glen did outscore Powelly by seven points in the last but that didn’t worry Powelltown as it proved it is going to be one hard team to beat when it is at its best while Yarra Glen will need to regroup quickly as it takes on second placed Seville next week in a battle for top spot. Best Powelltown: R. Sandy, B. McDonald (2), L. Tindal. Yarra Glen: D. Hurley (2), R. Gurney (1), D. Watt. Yarra Junction 16.12 (108) d Gembrook Cockatoo 14.10 (94) THIS game started at a frenetic pace with 14 goals scored in the first quarter. It was Junction that held sway at the first change by 14 points, booting 8.3 to 6.1. The second quarter belonged to Gembrook as it slotted through six majors and held Junction to just one behind and Gembrook all of a sudden held a 22-point, half-time lead. The third term was a reverse of the second as Gemrook didn’t score a major and Junction booted four goals - which was enough to give it a four point three quarter time lead. Both sides had eight shots on goal in the last but it was Junction that rammed home its opportunities scoring four last quarter goals to two to win by a hard fought 14 points. Best Gembrook Cockatoo: L. McCombe (6), C. Birch, M. Daly. Alexandra 15.14 (104) d Yea 12.13 (85) ALEX is now starting to get its season going after a tough win over a determined Yea. Alex held a 13-point lead at the first break after a five goal to three in the first term.

Yea had a great second quarter and looked the better side as it scored seven majors to Alex’s four and at half time it was Yea by four points. Alex showed good composure in the third and it may have only kicked the four goals but it held Yea to just one in a very controlled quarter to go the three quarter time break with a handy 22 point lead. The last term was relatively even but Alex never looked too threatened as it held off any serge that Yea tried to muster to eventually win by 19 points. Best Alexandra: S. Kidd, L. Ware, A. Cowlishaw (3). Yea: D. Evans, N. Simpson (1), E. Neilson. Thornton Eildon: Bye Under 18s Wandin 24.25 (169) d Powelltown 2.1 (13) WANDIN won this game comfortably but wouldn’t have been too happy with its conversion because it should have posted more goals. Powelltown did battle hard but it was just outplayed by a classier well drilled unit. Wandin’s second half was very good as it did straighten up, booting 16.11 to eventually win by a huge margin. Best Wandin: A. Molluso (1), C. Shalevski (6), S. Kirk. Powelltown: R. Gribble (1), D. Thomas, B. MacDonald. Woori Yallock 12.9 (81) d Seville 5.3 (33) WOORI keeps its season alive with a good win over a Seville side that did battle hard the entire four quarters.
Yarra Junction’s Matt Sword tackles Gembrook’s Brad Porter in Saturday’s Division Two match that saw the Eagles down the Brookers in a second-half comeback by 14 points. 121457 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Woori never really dominated any part of the game but it just had the edge on Seville over the entirety of the match outscoring it by a couple of goals each quarter which eventually turned into a very nice eight goal victory. Best Woori Yallock: D. Benson, M. Debono (2), G. Annowsky (1). Seville: J. Wathen, J. Hardie (1), A. Whitelaw. Healesville 17.20 (122) d Yea 8.7 (55) HEALESVILLE continues to be the team to beat as it remains undefeated after a comprehensive victory over Yea.
It started strong with a six goal to one first quarter to set the day up. Yea did show a bit in the second matching it with Healesville and, in fact, outscored it by two points but after that it was pretty much Healesville’s day. The Bloods booted eight second half goals to three to win by 67 points which probably should have been a bit more but for some inaccuracy. Best Healesville: B. Coon, R. Johnson, J. Edmonds. Yea: R. Aldous, A. Buchanan (1), K. Spagnolo (1).

Riding high in Argentina By JODIE SYMONDS HE’S grown up kicking up dirt and riding high in the mountains, and now Three Bridges resident Daniel Sanders will make his way to Argentina to show what he’s made of. Known to his friends as Chucky, Sanders will compete in the International Six Day Enduro (ISDE) race in the Olympics equivalent of motorbike riding. The 19-year-old will be one of 13 Australian male and female riders travelling to Argentina. “It’s going to be very intense,” Sanders said. “We will be riding long days and will have to do all the maintenance
on the bikes on our own with no assistance. “It’s my first six day, so we will head over about a week and a half before the race to get over jet lag and walk all of the race tracks then test our bikes before we compete.” He won the opportunity to compete in Argentina after he placed in the top 10 riders in Australia for his age division. The Australian team was announced two weeks ago at the halfway point of the Victorian and Australian Championships. “I knew that I would be in the team with my results this year. If you finish in the top 10 overall consistently, you
“I learnt everything off him; he still trains me.” Being up against the best riders in the world and travelling are great perks for doing something that he loves. “Everybody around me are really supportive of my goals, my loose group of friends cheer me on, most of them I train with, and encourage me to do better,” Sanders said. However, it wasn’t all wins, Sanders’ has encountered injuries from the dangerous sport. “I’ve broken both collarbones and almost every finger,” Sanders said. ”You have to know your limits and not push too hard to avoid mistakes which can cause injuries.”
have a good chance,” Sanders said. He began riding at eight years old, and said it was the love for the dangerous sport that has kept him going. “The adrenaline that goes through the body when you’re about to race, and riding is amazing,” Sanders said. “Then when you win races, you just want to improve your previous race time.” His love of motocross started by following in the footsteps of his motorbike crazy father and then grew when he joined a local riding club. “Dad bought me a bike when I was eight and taught me how to ride,” he said.
And the sky’s the limit, Sanders plans to be one of the top riders in Australia and the world. “The goal is to be at the top of the sport,” Sanders said. “This means you have to be training every day. “To do that, I have to be on a factory team that pay you to win which is a full time job.” Mr Sanders said training for big events involved riding continuously and doing cardio work to increase stamina levels. The championship in Argentina, held in November, will be Sanders’ second overseas competition for motorbike riding.

OVERCAST and rain-laden clouds greeted the competitors at the Woods Point Gun Club’s Howqua River Championships. The grey clouds stayed all day, however luckily the rain stayed away. Trevor Ewert, Wayne Neil, Phillip Desmond and Mitch Dunnachie started the day well by shooting 30/30 to share the cash prize in the 10-target Eye Opener. The first of the championships was a 20-target Double Barrel event. Chris Figgins, Trevor Ewert, Phillip Desmond, Tom Apps and Laurie Poile went into the shoot off for the sash with perfect scores of 20/20 each. After another 77 targets, Desmond won the championship sash, 97/97 from Ewert 96/97. Desmond and Ewert also won the AA Grade first and second prizes. In A Grade, Apps with 52/52 won from Poile 51/52. B Grade was an outright win for Phil McDonough, 19/20, with Wayne Neil second 31/33 after a shoot off with Daryl Ewert, John Butters, John Nelson and Robert Lay. Ron Press’s 18/20 was enough to win C Grade with Peter Shahin second, 19/22 after another shoot off. The main event was the 80-target Deauville Quadruples, four targets, a team of two shooters with a total of four shots only allowed.
