Robber burns CFA By JESSE GRAHAM POLICE are hunting a grinchy burglar who broke into the Dixons Creek Fire Station on Christmas Day and made off with the brigade’s projector. At around 12.10am on 25 December, someone broke into the station by forcing open the door on the new extension to the building. They made their way into the Melba Highway station and took an NEC projector worth around $1000. Dixons Creek CFA Captain Wayne Morrow said the projector, while insured, was bought with funds raised by the brigade and money donated by the community. He said he was disappointed that someone would steal from the brigade, let alone steal from them on Christmas Day. “All that equipment the brigade worked hard to earn - it’s brigade equipment, not CFA equipment,” he said. “It’s a very low act. “They tried to lift the TV, but didn’t get that. Fortunately, they didn’t take anything else.” Capt Morrow said the projector was used for training purposes at the station, and that the thief was likely disturbed by the security alarm before more items could be taken. The brigade posted about the robbery on Facebook on 26 December and the post was shared by 265 people, while others commented in support of the CFA - and in condemnation of the robber. “As you know our volunteers work hard to protect our community, and it is heart-breaking this has happened,” the post read. “To steal from volunteers who risk their own lives daily to help others is disgusting,” commented one person. The break-in coincided with another robbery at Homewood’s CFA station, where a man is believed to have broken in and stolen two chainsaws, a water pump and keys to a CFA vehicle, among other items.

Dixons Creek CFA Captain Wayne Morrow said it was a low act for someone to steal from the brigade on Christmas Day. 133156 Picture: ROB CAREW Police believe the man broke into the station three times between 23 and 26 December. Capt Morrow described the behaviour of breaking into CFA stations as

“pretty ordinary”, and asked anyone who might have seen suspicious behaviour to contact police. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit Detective Sergeant Mark

Smithwick said that anyone who saw suspicious activity at the station between 4pm on 24 December and 9am on Christmas Day should contact police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Lilydale CIU on 9739 2300, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

THE pen is mightier than the sword. In the case of Healesville cartoonist Danny Zemp, it’s the pencil that gets the message across. His response to the Charlie Hebdo killings in France by terrorists that sent shock waves around the world and raised not only the profile of the cartoon as a medium, but questions around free speech and the role of satire in mainstream publications, and on social media. Danny’s response was very much in tune with his philosophy - clear, thoughtful and powerful. No need to interpret. He told the Mail although he didn’t know any of the murdered Charlie Hebdo cartoonists and other staff, it was devastating, shocking and kind of personal. “It felt like part of a family have been attacked; cartoonists are a fairly close community,” he said. “It was interesting to read other people’s (cartoonists) blogs and comments on social media, hardly anyone was angry. It was more an overwhelming disappointment that they were attacked in such an extreme way for expressing their mind in a way we see it as communicating with others,” he said. Danny’s cartoon style, and his philosophy however is by no means as confronting, or offensive, and that’s a conscious and considered approach. He says the message is what’s important. “You want to make people laugh, but also to encourage them into conversation. We communicate with pictures and ideas. “A picture can speak more than 1000 words, so we can be quite powerful with what we depict, and I”m conscious of that fact and not trying to hurt or offend. “Satire can be quite offensive, Tony Abbott in budgie-smugglers, Julia Gillard with a big nose

Danny Zemp says a strong message can be sent without setting out to offend. 133155 Picture: ROB CAREW and bum - and it can be offensive, but in political cartoons it’s what stands out in caricature (that identifies the person). “Just drawing someone in a funny way, or highlighting characteristics, doesn’t mean that person is bad.” He cites The Chaser, Shaun Micaleff and Adam Hills with The Last Leg as examples in Australia where satire works, and could be seen as offensive to some people or groups. “Chaser are very critical about what is happening around them and it opens a different view about a current subject that may have been swept under the carpet. “Some of it is a bit crude, but that’s their way of getting the message across. Should we censor that ... probably not,” he says. He says a cartoon or television satire has to be clever, not just crude. “If it’s just out there to offend, I think people turn off. You can throw an offensive comment in if you can back it up with something funny and people will accept that.”

Crucial numbers By JESSE GRAHAM WHEN disaster strikes, every second counts, and a house that can’t be identified may not be easily accessible for emergency services. The Rotary Club of Healesville, in conjunction with local emergency services groups, will be selling specially-made house numbers at Healesville Walk Shopping Centre this weekend in an attempt to make houses more identifiable in an emergency. Rotarian David Lau said the group had been ap-

proached by emergency services groups including Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police about the issue, and has come up with a one-sizefits-all option. The specially-designed reflective house numbers are embedded onto a weatherproof, powder-coated metal shaft, with two lots of numbers facing left and right. Healesville police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said that police implored people to take the initiative and ensure their house was marked to ensure a quick response.

“Particularly with medical emergencies, every second counts,” Sgt Thomson said. “It’s not uncommon for an ambulance to miss a house, go down a no-through road, do a u-turn and you’re talking minutes - in the event of a heart attack, you’re looking at potential loss of life. “I think it’s great that they’ve (Rotary) put together an option for community members to buy which well and truly marks their property.” He said that it was im-

portant for people to ensure emergency services were informed during call-outs if houses were unmarked, or had a name instead or distinct features. The Rotary Club of Healesville reflective house number signs will be sold for $25 at Healesville Walk Shopping Centre this weekend, or can be organised by calling 5962 6550. Rotarians will be able to install the signs for aged or disabled pensioners at no extra cost.

Fake twenties are doing the rounds By KATH GANNAWAY COUNTERFEIT bank notes are again causing concern across the Yarra Valley with police repeating calls for people to check their money before it goes in the wallet. Warburton and Healesville police have had instances of fake notes in circulation over the Christmas/New Year period. The Mail reported last year that fake $50 and $20 notes were out there, and that businesses and individuals were being caught out. Senior Constable Tony Pagels of Warburton police said the notes were ‘good’, but there were giveaways if people checked them. The notes crumple and don’t spring back into shape as genuine notes do. Another give-away is that the see-through watermark is stuck on and in some cases is visibly ob-

vious, in others feels ‘stuck on’. In some cases, the notes are not perfectly cut. Features of genuine banknotes include that they are difficult to tear and have the Australian Coat of Arms visible when held up to the light. They also have specially-raised ink that can be felt by hand, as well as micro-printed words throughout the note and serial numbers will glow under UV Look for Senior Constable Tony Pagels shows the lights. differences in this aspect of Sen Const Pagels urged people different appearance of a crumpled fake note (on the left) and a genuine $20 note. 133158 the note. to check their notes, refuse to take Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY a note they are suspicious of and report any anomalies to the police People who believe they have get one they will turn their mind to or Crime Stoppers immediately. where they might have received it been given a counterfeit note are “The person who handed us this and any details they can provide to urged to store the note in an envenote said it was in his transactions lope, take note of relevant informafor the whole of the Saturday and help with our investigations.” tion, such as how they received the It is an offence to knowingly was unable to say who he had renote, and report the matter to either ceived it from,” he said. possess or pass on counterfeit Victoria Police or the Australian Federal Police. “We are hoping that if people banknotes in Australia.

means we can socialise them with other animals and when we need to know who we’ve got in hand, we scan them,” she said. “The blood test is to give us some normal values of what a normal mountain pygmy possum should look like.” She said the sanctuary had about 60 of the critically endangered possums - almost as much as found in some of their key habitat sites in the wild, such as Mount Buller. The animals are part of a captive breeding program, which aims to reduce the threat of the animal’s extinction. Despite being knocked out by general anaesthesia, all of the possums woke up within minutes and, while perhaps feeling a bit sore, seemed in good spirits.

HEALESVILLE police are investigating after three tractors were broken into, damaged and had fuel siphoned over the weekend. Police believe three John Deere tractors, which were parked on Don Road near the soccer oval, were broken into around 3am on Sunday 11 January. One of the tractors was started and was used to run over a street sign and knock over the power box for the soccer oval. Leading Senior Constable Chris Grasby said the ignition barrels on all three tractors were busted open and around 600 litres of diesel fuel was siphoned out of the tractors. The three tractors were being used by contractors for roadside grass slashing, and Leading Sen Const Grasby said the total damage was estimated at around $5000. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information are asked to contact Leading Sen Const Grasby at Healesville police on 5962 4422.

HEALESVILLE Sanctuary’s vets had a big job to do on some tiny animals last week, tagging a litter of 12-week-old mountain pygmy possums. Dr Jemima Amery-Gales was joined by vet nurse Emmajane Newton and senior keeper Paula Watson on Tuesday 13 January to microchip the four possums and take a blood sample from each of the animals. This is a routine procedure, only the animals themselves were smaller than the palm of a hand and the syringes themselves were longer than the animals they were being used on. Ms Watson said that the microchip was the same system as those put under the skin of dogs and cats. “They all look the same, so it

POLICE have arrested a 22-year-old man in relation to an attempted murder last month in Chirnside Park and are seeking witnesses to the crime. The incident occurred on the Maroondah Highway in Chirnside Park at 12.03pm on 14 December, and a Chirnside Park man has since been arrested and remanded in custody. Yarra Ranges CIU Detective Sergeant Mark Smithwick said police were appealing for witnesses, who may have observed a man behaving erratically around that time. Anyone with information can contact Lilydale police on 9739 2300.

Knitting nana changes tack By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S Enid Richards is proof that soldiering on gets results. Ms Richards, 86, threw in the towel on her knitting hobby after becoming a resident at Healesville’s Monda Lodge, due to arthritis in her hands. Not wanting to give up and watch television for entertainment, she instead picked up crochet needles and started a new hobby - since then, she has mastered the craft. Able to whip up a crochet-flower in less than 15 minutes, Ms Richards recently took out two second-place awards at November’s Lilydale Agricultural and Horticultural Show for two of her crochet rugs and a highly-commended award for her other work. She said she was “thrilled to bits” with the result, and that she was a newcomer to the show. “I’ve never put anything in the show before - not since I was at school, and that was only a drawing,” Ms Richards said. She told the Mail that she spends her time crocheting to avoid boredom, and has made rugs and flowers for many of her family and friends. “I just got bored sitting and watching television, so I started crocheting every night,” she said. “I just love doing it.” Her room at the Lodge is a patchwork of different crochet pieces, including a crochet-covered vase filled with crochet flowers, tea-cosies and rugs galore. Ms Richards said that she would often make three or four of her flowers before hopping into

After receiving her Lilydale Show awards, Ms Richards said she wanted to create another rug, and was looking at possibly entering the show again in 2015. “My hand is starting to scrunch up a bit,” she said. “(But) as long as I can hold a crochet needle, I’ll do it.”

Rainfall, on reflection By KATH GANNAWAY AS IS the pattern, rainfall on either side of the Yarra Valley reflected the varying landscapes. Doug Armstrong in Hoddles Creek recorded 97mm over 10 days in November compared to 118mm over the same number of days last year against an average November rainfall of 107mm. His January to November totals were1072mm compared to 1148 last year. For December the figures were 88mm compared with

99mm with a 12-month total of 1160mm a tad short of last year’s 1238mm. In Healesville, Alma Mitchell recorded 71.3mm over 11 days in November, almost spot-on with last year’s tally of 71.2mm over 15 days. In December, Alma’s rain gauge collected 58.1mm over 17 days compared with 78.3mm in 2013 over 14 days. The 12-month total was 905.4mm for 2014 compared to 792.6mm last year.

Warburton’s figures for December are also lower than the average with Keith Thomas recording only 95.5mm against the December average of 109.7mm. The total rainfall for the year at Warburton was 1205mm, considerably less than the average of 1343.3mm. Mr Thomas said despite the reduced rainfall Melbourne storage dams were in particularly good shape holding 1,451,729 million litres, which is 75.5 per cent of capacity.

The site for 10 units at Yarra Junction. 132322 developed appropriately. Both Cr Samantha Dunn and Cr Len Cox, however, called for the matter to be deferred saying there were too many unanswered questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no idea of the built form contemplated for this site,â&#x20AC;? Cr Dunn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighbourhood character is not about repeating bad decisions of the past,â&#x20AC;? she said in response to Cr Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comparison and praise of the existing adjoining unit development. Cr Cox said he had had not had sufficient time to adequately look over the conditions attached to the alternative recommendation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found the alternative recommendation when I got here

today, along with the associated conditions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am being asked to vote on something and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there is anyone around this table who knows the answer and our planners are still trying to work it out,â&#x20AC;? he said after asking for some detail on one of the conditions. Cr Wilcox supported the development saying there was the same development next door, only bigger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No-one has objected to this, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within 400 metres of the shops and with a footpath out the front,â&#x20AC;? he added. The motion was passed with councillors Child, Witlox, Callanan, McCarthy, McAllister and Avery voting in favour and Cox, Dunn and Cliff against.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 15 December 1934 Healesville Road Fatality THE Healesville community were greatly shocked by the death of Mr Frederick Reginald Vohalder. The deceased who conducted a motor carrying service between Healesville and Melbourne was killed as a result of his heavily laden motor truck overturning on the main road in the vicinity of the straw envelope facility in Yering. The deceased was one of the most highly respected citizens of Healesville. He was in the prime of life - a fine, stalwart young man - popular with all sections of the community.

The first impact following the shut-down of the railway line was felt at Warburton on Tuesday, when two railway families left the town. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harrison have shited to Holmsglen and Mr. and Mrs. W. Cavill to Mt Waverley. At the Mechanicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hall, Warburton last Friday night a near capacity crowd witnessed some exciting boxing bouts between junior boys from Upper Yarra Police and Citizens Youth Club and the Scouts from Yarra Junction. The final result was three wins to each club and six drawn decisions. In a letter to the Editor a car owner writes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;of the 273 homes (approx.) in the La La part of Warburton, 211 owners have motor cars (some two or even three) and they have no use for the railways. Of the buildings being erected all the materials are brought to Warburton by road transport, the nine shopkeepers receive 80 per cent of their goods by road. The hospital uses the railways for the cartage of about 10 per cent of its goods. The Sanitariam Health Food Company and Signs are the only factories that use the railways to any extent. No timber is sent by rail these days. Healesville Guardian 22 December 1934 Motor Cycle Fatality MR Albert A.

A NEW 10-lot subdivision is set to go ahead in Yarra Junction after Yarra Ranges councillors rejected a planning department recommendation to refuse the planning application. The officer report noted that the land at 35 Little Yarra Road was outside the designated residential consolidation area and was marked for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;incremental change onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shannassy Ward councillor Jim Child argued that the application fulfilled all the requirements and that there had been no objections. He said it was an ideal location for unit development being within a few minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walk of the township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have No 37 next door which is virtually the same as far as the site is concerned; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly the same size and on this site there are going to be two less homes. I believe this (motion) does very well address these things,â&#x20AC;? he said. Moving an alternative motion, he said there were 42 conditions attached which would address concerns of planners around issues that included the slope of the land, drainage issues and concerns that, without the requirement for a development plan, it could not be demonstrated that the lots could be

WARBURTON, and the Thomas families, have a lot to thank Margaret Whitley for. In 1948 she was working at Green Gables Guest House and invited her sister Edna over from Adelaide for a holiday. The rest is Warburton history. Edna packed up her job and moved to Warburton where shortly after she met the love of her life, a handsome young man named Keith Thomas. Edna was to become one of Warburton’s most loved and respected community workers and in 1996 was Yarra Ranges Shire Citizen of the Year. Keith and Edna married on 4 April, 1952, and raised their two sons Wayne and Chris and daughter Anne in the community they loved. In a beautiful tribute to his mother, Chris said her life could easily be summed up in two words ... family and community. “But it would be unfair to Mum to leave it at that,” he added. She wasn’t a ‘valley’ girl. The fourth of Joseph and Myrtle’s 12 children, she was born in Braeside on 13 February, 1926. Myrtle died in childbirth at just 42 when Edna was 17 and she took on the role of mum to her younger siblings. She was part of a close-knit family, but life was far from easy and she could recall working as a young child on her parents’ market garden growing flowers and vegetables before and after school, and going to market in Melbourne with her father in a horse and cart in the early hours of the morning. When her brother Cliff went off to war, in 1939, it was the girls and dad who kept the farm going - and it was hard work. She left home at 18 to join her sisters working at Russell Collins Restaurant in Melbourne, and later moved to Adelaide. Married life started in a rented “little old run-down place” in Brett Road. It wasn’t so different, Chris said, from the lives of many other women living in the country at that time.

Edna Thomas was a gift to Warburton that just kept on giving. 133157

In the parlance of the day, Chris said Keith was the breadwinner, Edna the homemaker. “How lucky we were,” he said. “A mother to kiss us and to wave us goodbye in the morning as we went off to school sitting in the back of Dad’s old green Vanguard ute, and to welcome us home in the afternoon with freshly made cakes, biscuits or scones.” Like many women of her era, Edna was also the glue that not only held the family together, but that held many aspects of community life together. She loved community life and had a naturally generous approach to being part of whatever was good for her family, and for her community. Reading through a long list of

associations, Chris started with the Warburton Ladies’ Bowling Club of which she was a foundation member in 1960 - and an active member more than 50 years on. She wasn’t one to stand back and see how things progressed. Edna was an original member of the fundraising group for the Senior Citizens’ Clubrooms in the 1960s, and of Meals on Wheels in 1974. Other affiliations were with the Lions Club of Upper Yarra, Blind Auxiliary, Red Cross, Warburton Theatre Group, Ladies Guild of the Presbyterian Church, Warburton Hospital, CWA, Scout and Cub groups, Warburton Tennis Club, Yarra Valley Roller Derby Club and Warburton Small Bore Rifle Club, Upper Yarra High School. In her later years, she added Up-

per Yarra Probus to her activities. Her contribution was immense whether it was as a volunteer driver, hospital visitor, providing floral arrangements, gardening, cooking for functions, cleaning, actively fund raising in various roles, or handing out how-to-vote cards, she was a hard-worker and a lovely person to have on the team. She was a passionate and loyal member of the local branch of the Liberal Party who believed in their philosophy and was loved, liked and respected by people at all levels of the party. Edna may have been surprised at the ‘Citizen of the Year’ honour, but for anyone who knew her, the surprise was perhaps that it hadn’t happened earlier! She was involved with many organisations for decades and, as Chris said, “never blew her own trumpet or crowed about any of it.” She was a great supporter of Keith, and the kids in their business operations and community and sporting interests - and anyone else who was on their teams. No-one at a Thomas office ever went short of biscuits for morning tea. A heart-valve operation 13 years ago was tackled in the same way as everything else - Edna just got on with the job of enjoying life, family, friends and community. Edna greatly enjoyed her seven grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren who loved her intensely as ‘Mumma’. As a wife, mother, mother-inlaw and grandmother, Edna was an inspiration and role model who will be remembered as amazing, peaceful, caring, loving and ... as Chris recalled, “almost without fault”. Her one and only fault, he said, was her unwillingness to relinquish her trademark cane basket. It want everywhere with her. Edna never went anywhere emptyhanded. “Now she is on her final journey, hopefully empty-handed this time and someone else will take care of her,” Chris said in a closing remark to a beautiful eulogy. Edna passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family on 27 July, 2014. Her passing is a great loss, and sadness, to her family and to the Warburton community.

I REFER to the recent announcement that the shire is headed to VCAT, following its decision to grant a permit for a mobile phone tower in Seville. This is not the first time recently that council has been criticised for making a planning decision that is not in line with community desires. While I in no way disagree with the community sentiment and have supported a similar fight in Healesville in the past, this whole process needs to be put in perspective - defending a case at VCAT does not come cheap. While the decision to approve this application does show that even though a council refusal would reflect community views, it would result in an unwinnable fight at VCAT and therefore not a good use of ratepayer money. Along with government approval for the installation of smart (electricity) meters, came a planning exemption for the erection of communication antenna poles to service this infrastructure. In the Healesville case this has resulted in a shared use pole for both services that is taller and therefore more highly visible, on Cornish Hill, than was originally proposed for the mobile phone pole and without any need for a planning permit. In making a decision, VCAT only considers the law and what the planning scheme will permit - if the use is permitted or exempt, it will be approved, irrespective of any emotional or community concerns, as we saw in the McDon-

Send your letters to: editor@yvnews.com.au ald’s Tecoma fight. Shire planners are responsible to take a detailed look at any deficiencies in our planning schemes, consult with the community and tighten up what is or isn’t permitted in the various areas. It is also up to the community to make their views known when planning scheme reviews are undertaken, not sit back and complain when something is done they don’t like. In the case of communication poles, when higher government decisions take away the authority of local government to represent community views, it is time that the MAV took this up with the other tiers of government. John Anwin, Healesville.

Well remembered HELLO to all at The Mail. Although I have not lived in the Yarra Valley for a few years I still get to read The Mail. Imagine my humbled surprise when I read that Melissa Meehan remembered me in her parting words on 16 December as former Editor of the Mail Newspaper Group. Melissa interviewed me several years ago regarding unwed mothers of the 1950s-1970s who had their babies taken against their will. I shed many tears that day relating all that happened to me and so many, many other mothers. I remember saying to her as we were talking that I just wanted someone to say “sorry” for

what was done to us. As this beautiful and so young then reporter left my home she turned to me on the stairs, looked up at me and said so sincerely “I am sorry.” Melissa you left a mark on my heart that day that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I wish you health and happiness always. I am unsure if you will print the following but I wanted to add that it is newspapers like The Mail and their reporting that aided in bringing about an apology from our then Prime Minister and supported by the opposition. The PM apologised to mothers “who were betrayed by a system that subjected you to manipulation, mistreatment and malpractice”. She also apologised for the “... coercion and brutality of practices that were unethical, dishonest and in many cases illegal.” And that “you were not legally or socially acknowledged as their (our children) mothers.” Many mothers (me included) are still fighting for justice for the physical and mental abuse we suffered and the unlawful abduction of our newborn babies (validated by a senate inquiry). We will never give up this fight as there are thousands and thousands of Victorian mothers who still do not have the courage to speak out about the unlawful removal of their babies that are counting on us to keep up this fight for their right to justice. Once again, so very sincerely, thankyou, thankyou. June Smith, Alexandra.

Underpaying growers picked By JESSE GRAHAM FAIR Work Australia has issued a stern warning to Yarra Valley strawberry growers after two farms were found underpaying their workers by thousands of dollars. The Fair Work Ombudsman announced last week that unannounced visits to six Yarra Valley strawberry farms found that 11 employers had not been fulfilling their requirements to employees. Ombudsman Natalie James said

that two employers had collectively underpaid 22 workers around $6000, while four had not kept proper records or issued pay-slips correctly. Out of the 11 employers, six were growers and five were contractors operating across the six farms. She said the underpayment occurred when one grower paid contractors a fee-per-worker roughly $2 an hour less than the minimum wage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The labour fee paid by the grower was clearly insufficient to enable the

contractor to pass on the correct wages and entitlements to employees,â&#x20AC;? Ms James said. The grower was made to back-pay $5746 to the 20 workers affected by the underpayment, and both employers were issued with letters of caution. Ms James said that other issues included pay-slips not being issued within one day of wages being paid, piece rates being paid without written agreements in place and Fair Work Information Statements not being provided to new workers.

Honeyeaters spread their wings

Three of the employers were issued with letters of caution for recordkeeping breaches, and one contractor remains under investigation, with the Ombudsman suspecting employee underpayments. Ms James said that some employers were not paying enough attention to their obligations to employees under federal law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lack of awareness of workplace laws can easily result in inadvertent underpayments or record-keeping obligations being overlooked, as has oc-

Robbed at knifepoint By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM

By KATH GANNAWAY THE sighting of Helmeted Honeyeaters outside their reserve at Yellingbo has supporters feeling a little selfcongratulatory. A number of the critically endangered birds have been observed in habitat near Yellingbo township, an area in which Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater president Robert Anderson says they were last recorded in the late 1970s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is clear evidence the Helmeted Honeyeater population is now growing and expanding,â&#x20AC;? Mr Anderson said. The Friends have double cause to celebrate, as the birds have occupied a revegetation site comprising trees and shrubs planted between four and 30 years ago. It is the first historical record of Helmeted Honeyeaters occupying revegetation according to Mr Anderson and

The critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater is spreading its wings. 67386 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY has prompted new confidence in the saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best time to plan a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is nowâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Anderson said the sightings were a great endorsement of a generation of effort by the local community and the Helmeted Honeyeater Recovery team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have long held that revegetation is important for linking and expanding habitat,

curred here,â&#x20AC;? she said. However, she said she was pleased that all businesses involved agreed to rectify the breaches. In coming years, the Fair Work Ombudsman plans to visit fruit and vegetable farms throughout the country, focusing on the entitlements for seasonal workers, and will be re-visiting inspected areas to ensure they comply with the laws. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/fairwork.gov.au.

POLICE are searching for a male offender after an armed hold-up in Lilydale two weeks ago. The man entered the Priceline Pharmacy on Main Street around 3pm on Wednesday 7 January. He approached a female staff member and produced a large knife, demanding she hand over cash from the register before fleeing the scene on foot.

and now we are beginning to see the results,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater extend our gratitude to the Healesvillebased Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association and the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority for their generous funding of recent land purchase and revegetation works conducted at the site,â&#x20AC;? Mr Anderson added.

The man is described as Caucasian and about 30 years of age. He is 180cm tall with a thin build, goatee beard and hair tied back in a ponytail. At the time of the incident, he was wearing blue jeans, a brown T-shirt and dark sunglasses. Anyone with information on the matter should immediately contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2401.

Police have released a CCTV image of the man involved in a Lilydale hold-up.

Animal emergency response By JESSE GRAHAM AN ANIMAL-loving grassroots group will be looking out for vulnerable residents - and their animals - in the valley this bushfire season with a volunteer emergency group being formed. The Walking Forward Disaster Relief Team is the brainchild of Panton Hill resident Jenna Kelley, and aims to provide protection to animals in a catastrophic emergency. Ms Kelley said that the team, once

properly established, would be a group of people who have various resources such as horse floats - and could step in to help evacuate animals in the event of a fire or other disaster. She said team volunteers would notify her of their availability, and they could be contacted at short notice during disasters to visit people who aren’t able to evacuate animals. Ms Kelley said she wanted to run the project at a grassroots level, and

get people to help others in their communities. “Basically, it’s from the need of people not being prepared to leave home before a disaster strikes,” she said. “We try to capture people in the area who are available to help on bad days, creating a database and ensuring people give us dates of when they’re available and what facilities they have. “If someone has an animal stuck on

a property and can’t leave, we can have someone with a float pick them up.” Ms Kelley said that this would be particularly important for horse owners in the valley, some of whom lost their pets in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires or afterwards as a result of horrific burns. Seven people have currently signed up for the team, with some located in Yarra Glen and Lilydale, and others littered around the state, and Ms Kelley said she was hoping to get more volun-

teers from across the valley. “We want as many people as possible, just to make sure we’ve got everything covered,” she said. “Even if people can help with reptiles and birds - not specifically just horses, but any animal that might need some help.” Anyone interested in joining the Walking Forward Disaster Relief Team can visit www.facebook.com/WFDRF for more details.

Don’t be a dill with fire By KATH GANNAWAY POLICE have issued a warning that rain does not equate to a burn-off permit. Warburton police had three callouts last week to people burning off illegally, despite signs and other publicity that the Fire Danger Period is in operation and fire restrictions are in place. The message was delivered strongly at the fire information evening in Warburton in December that the CFA and police are taking a zero-tolerance ap-

proach to enforcing fire restrictions. “People should know better, there has been plenty of advertising, and if they are unsure, they need to check with their local CFA or go online and find out what their obligations are,” Senior Constable Tony Pagels said last week. “With the hard-waste collection coming up there is a further opportunity to get rid of material people don’t want, or you can take it to the tip,” he said. Warburton Sergeant Tom

Wilkinson added that anyone responsible for a fire could also find themselves responsible for more than the offences relating to lighting the fire. “They are taking a big risk and if any fire results in more serious repercussions, they could find themselves facing serious criminal charges, for instance if the fire gets away,” he said. “Don’t be misguided by the weather conditions; they can change very quickly, even if it’s raining, the penalties are still there,” he said.

CFA’s century of service By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON CFA’s rich history went on show last week with the launch of the brigade’s 100th birthday exhibition. The Celebrating Community Firefighting Volunteers Exhibition honours members and families, past and present, who have served the Warburton and district community since 1915.

The history of the brigade is told in pictures and displays that include old radios, hose branches, firefighting equipment, paintings, uniforms, protective clothing, trophies and the competition wheel and hose. Photographs trace the history of the brigade from the iconic photo of the original bandstand which house the initial equipment, through portraits of captains, competi-

tions, fires and other events. Former members joined with the current crew and along with CFA officials and community members to cut a birthday cake to launch what will be a year-long celebration. The Celebrating Community Firefighting Volunteers Exhibition is on at the Arts Centre in Warburton until Tuesday 10 February.

COME rain, hail, shine ... or other disasters, Marysville has celebrated Australia Day in a big way. For almost two decades, the whole district has come together to mark the day in a way that acknowledges the cultural, historical and community life of the region ... and to have fun. The Lions Club of Marysville has hosted the Australia Day celebration since its beginnings with the parade through the main street featuring local residents, young and old, carrying the flags of their own, or their family’s birthplace. As people of all ages and nationalities wave the parade through with Australian flags, it’s a moving and joyful tribute to the many cultures that make up the district, and Australia. This year, on Monday 26 January, the activities will focus on the township area with the parade starting around 11am and finishing in the main street where the flag raising ceremony and Murrindindi Council awards will take place. Australia Day Ambassador Andrew Asten, who is also director of The Oaktree Foundation and Victorian finalist for the Young Australian of

Lion Delice Guscott in the Australia Day parade at Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY Marysville. 133176 the Year Award in 2010, will speak. The market will be operating, and there will be demonstrations and displays, a sausage sizzle and plenty of opportunity to explore the shops and cafes.

With the crystal-clear and ‘kid-safe’ Steavenson River running nearby and the exciting adventure playground nextdoor, Marysville is top of the list for celebrating Australia Day.

Australia is a wonderful country. Australia Day provides us with a great opportunity to recognise and celebrate the diversity our country offers.

By KATH GANNAWAY WHETHER it’s a formal event or a getaway with family and friends, there are some great places in the Yarra Valley to get together and make the most of the Australia Day long weekend. Reefton Rocs is on again at the Reefton Hotel in McMahon’s Creek with some great bands on stage from noon to midnight on Sunday 25 January. Fats Wah Wah, Smokey and The Bandits, 4tress, The Ridlers, Full Fat, MF Jones and Daisy West are on the bill for this year’s event which can be as laidback or energetic as you want. It’s a fun-filled day for the whole family with great music, market stalls, kids’ activities and fantastic food. The event supports the GR8 M8S Foundation. The Rotary Club of Wandin is another great community event which gets Australia Day, Monday 26 January, off to an early start with a breakfast at the impressive Wandin Hall. The atmosphere is fabulous and fun-filled as Rotary members are joined by the wider community to celebrate and recognise the achievements of local people.

AUSTRALIA DAY

Breakfast at Wandin is a huge event. Pictured at Australia Day 2014 are local author Michael Tricarico, guest speaker Paul Guerra and Rotarians David Gamble and Neil Tassell. 133179 Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY The Big Aussie Breakfast is delicious, and each year the Rotarians present an inspirational speaker. This year it’s Major-General Paul Stevens AO (retired) who has a long and varied career in the military and is a current member of the board of the Australian War Memorial. For more information on tickets and times, or to book, phone John Sanders on 0433 174 298 or 9737 9425 or email sanders. john@bigpond.com.

Why not take a day, or three, to get out and about in your own backyard, camping out at Upper Yarra Dam; visit an adventure playground with the kids, walk some of the fantastic bush tracks from Powelltown to Badger Weir or Toolangi, make a date for your own Australia Day breakfast, lunch or dinner at a winery or restaurant ... or just plan a barbecue with family and friends at home. There’s plenty to do over this weekend and it’s all about celebrating the day.

Blown away by the talent By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON musician, potter and photographer Jeff Wilmott has a lot to offer as a solo artist. But there’s excitement in numbers and as one of 20 artists taking part in the Upper Yarra Artisans’ Summer Art Show, Jeff said he is looking forward to being part of a “bigger picture” exhibition of local art. The Upper Yarra region is a rich stream of artisans who draw inspiration from the community and natural environment in which they live. It makes for a diverse exhibition including ceramics and painting to sculpture, woodcarving, textiles and more. One of Jeff’s particular talents is making and playing the little-known ocarina. He will be giving demonstrations of how he makes and plays the ocarina on Friday and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm during the exhibition, as well as demonstrating didgeridoo and gum leaf playing. He was experimenting with making flutes out of clay when a fellow artist, Sunny, now his wife, introduced him to a round alternative. It wasn’t an easy instrument to master in terms of getting the sound and shape right, but he was taken with the beautiful sound. “I kept trying and nearly gave up at first because it is a complex instrument to make,” he said. “I persevered and am still making them nearly 30 years later.” Jeff has recently returned to the pottery wheel and among his works on display, including tortoise-shaped ocarinas and

Survival is celebrated By JESSE GRAHAM RESIDENTS from all over the hills are being invited to come together next week to celebrate the survival of Indigenous culture and heritage at the annual Belgrave Survival Day. Held on Australia Day (Monday 26 January), Survival Day is a volunteer-organised event that will kick off at noon at Borthwick Park in Belgrave. Organiser Bonnie Zuidland told the Mail that the event aims to commemorate the area’s Indigenous culture and its survival two centuries after European arrival in 1788. With the event now in its eighth year, Ms Zuidland said Survival Day was looking bigger than ever, with 2004 Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan performing at the event. “They just get bigger and better each year - I’d say they’re pretty successful events,” she said “Considering it’s an event that’s been going for eight years, that’s a good sign.” Ms Donovan joins Aboriginal hip-hop artist Miss Hood, Melbourne soul-pop performer Chachi, Joe Geia, and Gnarnayarrahe Waitiarie, who will all perform live. Music is just one part of the afternoon event - a Welcome to Country and traditional smoking ceremony will be conducted by Wurundjeri Elder Uncle Bill

Story-telling, arts and crafts and demonstrations of the origins of Australian football are other key attractions at Survival Day, and the event will be hosted again by MC Leila Gurruwiwi of the Marngrook Footy Show. Author Jim Poulter will be one of the speakers at the event, and will run the football demonstration. The theme for this year’s event is Caring for Country, and Ms Zuidland said attendees

Colours rise for revolution Jeff Wilmott demonstrates one of his hand-crafted Picture: ROB CAREW ocarinas. 133159 photographs, he will have a selection of pots. “There is a great depth of artistic talent in the group, and the exhibition will reflect that,” he said. All the works will be for sale and with the exhibition open every day from 22 January to 11 February from 10am to 4pm,

there is plenty of opportunity for local people, and visitors, to enjoy the event. The Summer Art Show is at the Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton with the official launch on Thursday 22 January from 6pm to 7.30pm. For more information visit www.uyartisans.weebly.com.

THE Three Colours trilogy will visit the valley next month as part of the Healesville Mini Film Festival. The films, which are representative and named after the three colours of the French flag, each focus on one of the political ideals of the French Revolution: liberty, equality and fraternity. Though the films all tell a different story, they are connected at the end of the third film.

The films are the work of acclaimed Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski and were first released individually during 1993 and 1994. Each of the films has been rated highly by critics and audiences making them an excellent choice for the inaugural Healesville event. The festival will be held at The Memo, Healesville, on Sunday 1 February. Three Colours Blue will

A STERLING historical biopic, The Imitation Game brings needed attention to a wartime hero with a tragic yet fascinating life story. The film details the life of British mathematician Alan Turing and follows both his vital work in decoding Nazi transmissions in WWII and the persecution he suffered for his homosexuality. Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as Turing is a marvel of subtle intensity. Disappearing into his role,

Cumberbatch flawlessly conveys Turing’s profound social awkwardness and emotional opacity, but ensures that the man’s analytical passion and inner pain shine through at every moment. The narrative, which fluidly shifts throughout Turing’s life, is expertly paced and phenomenally tense. The urgency of cracking Germany’s fantastically complicated Enigma machine codes is stressed by the implied ticking clock of lives lost, and the difficulty of this operation is compounded by team in-fighting, impatient superiors and other obstacles. In its look at the Allies’ fran-

tic behind-the-scenes work (and Turing’s appalling treatment by the law for his “acts of indecency”), The Imitation Game is just as enthralling - if not more so - as any war film set in the heat of battle. An exquisitely-crafted period piece and a dramatic, heartwrenching character study, this film will surely be well-rewarded at the Oscars in February (and yet never once feels like Oscar bait). A latecomer to Australian screens, The Imitation Game is one of the best films of last year. - Seth Hynes

Moora Moora is turning 40 By DR BOB RICH WHILE Healesville was celebrating its 150th birthday in November, there was another significant gathering on Mt Toolebewong. The Moora Moora Co-operative has been there for 40 years. In 1974, it was an incredibly risky experiment. Twelve people put their money where their dreams were, and invested in land they couldn’t afford. They set up an intentional community, designed to show the way to a better life. Now, the co-operative has become an organically grown, thriving village. It is blessed with continuing interest from people of varying ages, including young families with kids. This is good, because the people who grew up there have turned out to be wonderful. Childhood at Moora Moora trained them to be self-reliant, adaptable, good at relating to people of all ages, assertive, responsible and ethical. Many of these young people took part in the birthday celebration. As an oldie, I had trouble recognising some of them, since I’d last seen them as teenagers, but common stories soon dissolved the gap. About 140 people took part in the celebrations.

The day involved great food including a ginormous 40th birthday cake, slide and DVD displays of history, games, a bonfire, and professional-level music at night provided by members. Tours of the interesting houses and other features were of particular interest to returning exmembers, and to the now-adult once-kids who could show the community off to their partners and children. Moora Moora is in the early stages of establishing a “sanctuary area,” which is to be a memorial for members and their loved ones who have died, and a place for quiet contemplation. There is a strong initiative to change Victorian law to allow burial on private land, as is the case in other states. Cremated ashes have already been used to commemorate those who have passed, but cremation is not an environmentally responsible solution, so the co-operative hopes to extend the practice to burials. This sanctuary area was launched with a touching ceremony during the 40th birthday celebrations. Many of the visitors stayed overnight and shared breakfast, ending a perfect gathering.

Brad’s Christmas gift WHAT a way to finish an eventful year! Meeting Father Christmas at the Wandin Sunset Festival was just part of a huge week for Bradley Bola. Bradley was back in Australia from Papua New Guinea for the third time to continue a series of operations sponsored by ROMAC (Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children). The 18-year-old suffers from a condition called Crouzon Syndrome which affects the growth of the skull and results in abnormal growth of the head and face. The complex and challenging operations, not available in PNG, began when he was just 18 months old with maxillofacial surgeon Associate Professor Andrew Heggie leading a team of doctors who donate their services. He returned for more surgery when he was 10 and on 7 November, had what is expected to be the second-last operation in the life-saving series. Wandin and Healesville Rotary Bradley, his mother Nelli and Wandin Rotarian Gavan McIntyre took an opportunity for some extra ‘wish’ clubs have taken Bradley under their power. 132540 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY broad wings to help make his latest

stay memorable. Apart from helping transport Bradley to medical appointments, Rotarians have accompanied him to a Melbourne Storm game and to Healesville Sanctuary. Wandin Rotarian Gavan McIntyre said Bradley was a likeable and clever young man who had made many friends in Melbourne during his visits. “He really is a great guy who has touched everybody’s hearts over the years,” he said. He has two brothers and a sister, along with his dad and mum, at home and wants to study to be a doctor. ROMAC has been in operation for over 25 years, with Rotarians in Australia and New Zealand volunteering their time and expertise to run the program. Many eminent Australian and New Zealand surgeons donate their services for the humanitarian program which has provided more than 350 children from more than 20 developing countries with urgent medical treatment, giving hope for the future.

Ever y donkey has its day By KATH GANNAWAY THE not-so-humble donkey was celebrated in spectacular style at Wesburn on Sunday. More than 2000 people attended the first ever Donkey Festival at Wesburn Park, organised by East Warburton donkey owner and advocate Linda Jay. Linda, representative for the Donkey Society of Victoria in Yarra Ranges, breeds miniature donkeys and has a rescue donkey. She said the interest leading up to the event had been a good indication of the numbers, but with perfect summer weather and great support in promoting the event, she was thrilled to see so many people gather to learn about, celebrate and have fun with donkeys, as well as raising funds for the Donkey Society’s rescue work, and for the Upper Yarra SES - who do rescue work of a different kind. She said donkeys had caught people’s imaginations for many reasons. “They are such charming creatures and have a beautiful nature, but at the same time they are not something you see every day. “They are a lovely animal to have if you have enough land, or to teach children to ride and people are rediscovering that, so they need to also find out how to care for them. “It was great to be able to put on a day to answer those people’s questions,” Linda said. There were lots of activities, including pinthe-tail-on-the-donkey, rides, stalls, music, demonstrations and competitions. Linda said a highlight of the day was seeing people showing their donkeys and taking part in the competitions. “There were people who have only ever had their donkey on their own property, so for many of those owners it was a first-time experience,” she said when asked about a personal highlight. “To see so many receive their first ribbon, I thought was fantastic.” Another highlight was that the success of the event meant valuable funds for the Donkey Society’s rescue work, and for the local SES. “The volunteers worked so hard all day and I am really glad it was also such a financial success for them because of all their hard work which contributed to making the event a success,” she said. She also thanked the Upper Yarra Community Enterprise which operates the Yarra Junction and Warburton Bendigo Community Banks. “They came on board to support the event and the sponsorship gave me the ability to make some of the extra activities happen which contributed enormously to the overall appeal and success of the festival,” she said.

Yarra Glen opens proudly By DI DAY YARRA GLEN BOWLS TO TAKE on the oldest club in the competition who has won the most Premier Division flags, sitting second on the ladder and beat them on home turf was an exhilarating start to the new year. Once again, the match came down to the wire with the last

bowl needed to clinch the win, and as it came into sit on the winning bowl, everyone erupted. Next week, Yarra Glen takes on archrivals Mentone on Friday under lights at Mentone and will help decide if Yarra Glen has what it takes to remain in Premier Division for another year. Saturday’s Division 4 team remains unbeatable with an easy win

of 115 - 41 over Box Hill RSL, the club went 50/50 with two wins from four matches on the weekend, Div 2 suffered their first loss in six rounds and Div 4 found Boronia’s grass a little hard to handle - both teams will bounce back this week as Yarra Glen looks ahead to the finals. Tuesday saw the Div 4 side washout however Div1 continued to be the

strength with a convincing win over Eastwood Golf 68-41. Over the break, many Yarra Glen members have been competing in regional competitions with the Men’s ‘Fours’ team of Paul Tirant, Nick Suttie, Matthew O’Brien and Troy Stafford takingout the title of Regional Champions. They now go onto Bendigo for the Champion of Champions

SCOREBOARD

Personal bests clocked YARRA Ranges Athletics members took part in the group’s annual Centre MultiDay last weekend, where young athletes competed in a number of events to rack up points. With each of the athletes’ performances generating points towards a total, the competition was fierce and a number of the competitors smashed their personal best-times and clocked in with quick times. Though the group may have been small due to the school holidays, the enthusiasm and noise of the athletes made the 17 January competition sound like a full house. Parent helpers took part in running the event, which is a useful lead-up to the state-wide multi competitions, which will be held on the weekend of 31 January. For more information, visit www.yarrarangesathletics.org.au.

Batsmen call the shots CRICKET across the Yarra Valley was hotly contested as the race for finals has begun in earnest. After months of torment from the bowlers, and their own frailties, it was the batsmen who bounced back with full force across all grades. In great batting conditions, the batsmen definitely made hay, while the sun shone. In DJ Strachan Shield, Yarra Junction bounced back from their disappointing collapse against Warburton-Millgrove with a moral boosting victory against association front-runners Seville. In the process, they have kept themselves in touch with the top four, and have proven their credentials in the premiership race despite the slip up last round. In a great game of cricket, befitting of a final itself, Seville batted first and in a similar innings to last week, it posted a competitive total of 7/158 on the back of another useful contribution from Ryan Akers (40). The Blues would’ve been fairly pleased with the total, and knowing the fragility of the Eagles batting line-up, knew they were only a few key wickets from victory. Things seemed to go to plan for the home side as they were able to extract the keys to Yarra Junction’s resistance with little expense, however a guiding knock of 50 from Matt Robinson steered the Eagles towards victory. With handy partnerships across the whole innings, the visitors were able to maintain the required run rate, and enough wickets in hand, to polish off the victory in the 39th over by two wickets. The victory was vital to Yarra Junction’s season, as a loss would’ve put them in danger of slipping behind the pack. Instead, they now find themselves in a big clash against Mount Evelyn where a win will see them back inside the top four. Meanwhile, although disappointed with the result, Seville will be keen to bounce back and reclaim top position in a massive clash against Warburton-Millgrove. Warburton-Millgrove will relish this challenge after claiming top billing with a comprehensive victory against Healesville. Before Christmas, results proved that batting was going to be the key factor in the race to the premiership, and if this is true to form, then the Burras are well ahead in this race. Once again they were able to compile an unchaseable score of 4/212 to effectively have this contest busted at the tea interval. Ben Lever (93) continued his ‘Indian Summer’ falling agonisingly short of his second century of the season, and his brilliant knock allowed the batsmen at the other end

to go about their business of compiling the imposing total. Healesville has had a tough season, and has used the opportunity to blood some of their talented youngsters in the top grade. As such they found the experience of slow bowlers Dan Lever (5/33) and Adam Humphrey (3/15) too much to overcome. Without any significant contributions, the Bloods’ innings faltered to fall 83 runs short of the target. With the top four, and finals, seemingly out of reach, Healesville will gear themselves up for a big game against fellow strugglers Hoddles Creek. Hoddles Creek will also be keen to bounce back as they were no match for the strength and power of a brutal Woori Yallock. The Tigers had the home side on the back foot from the word go, and despite some early wickets to Nick Bark (5/68) and Brenton Derix (2/29), the innings moved along at break-neck speed courtesy of firstly Dan Mock (43) who made the most of the early going, and later, a brilliant, and brutal, Simon Young century that put the score into unreachable territory at 232 all out. The Wombats have struggled in recent weeks with the

bat, and matching Woori Yallock’s run rate was going to prove difficult, and that it did despite dour resistance. In-form opening bowler, Jackson Wright (3/15) put the brakes on the innings early, while the probing spin of Ryan Smith (3/14) asked too many questions the batsmen couldn’t answer to round out a comprehensive 100-run victory. So with four rounds remaining, Round 11 promises to be the most important of them all, with all three games having great reward. For Seville and Warburton-Millgrove, it’s top of the ladder. For Mount Evelyn and Yarra Junction, it’s a place in the top four. For Healesville and Hoddles Creek, it’s pride. D.J. Strachan Shield
