■ Uncertain future for Cerini Community Centre...

Icon in balance

By KATH GANNAWAY THE future of the Warburton Cerini Community Centre is in limbo after the committee managing it handed it back to the Victorian Education Department at the end of June.

Ownership of the building is complicated with the department, the Roman Catholic Trusts Corporation and Yarra Ranges Council all having an interest in the land on which the centre sits, or abuts it.

The circular building was built by Father Charles Cerini in 1952 to provide a Catholic school for Upper Yarra students.

It closed in 1992 when the new St Joseph’s School was built in Yarra Junction in 1992.

It has been used as a community centre, and for eight years, until recently, by Upper Yarra Community House for its VCAL and Step Ahead program students.

Committee of Management spokesperson Peter Summers said while the ageing committee was disappointed at having to close the centre after 23 years, circumstances left them with little option.

He said a group of Warburton parishioners who wanted to keep the building as a memorial to Fr Cerini were able to keep the building after paying a deposit to the Education Department.

“The closure has come about as a result of problems with obtaining titles to the land and failure to gain government permission to correct the sewerage system,” Mr Summers wrote in a letter to the Mail announcing the closure.

The centre is in Park Road, Warburton, and abuts the Warburton Primary School.

The Mail’s efforts to establish who owns what land, were also ‘complicated’.

He said no decision had been made on the future of the building, but that if it were no longer required for educational purposes, it had to be sold.

“The cost of transferring the land on which the building sits would be

substantial, as it would need to cover legal costs, subdivision costs and acquiring the council roadway,” he said.

A Yarra Ranges Council spokesperson said the council owned less than 25 per cent of the land, and that the closure was an issue for the Education Department and the Catholic Church, as its land was “not going to impact on the building.“ The spokesperson did not say whether they had any interest in the fu-

ture of the centre, or whether it had any local historical significance.

A spokesman for the Catholic Archdiocese confirmed that the Parish of Upper Yarra Valley owns vacant land within the vicinity of the Cerini Centre, but not abutting it.

An unsealed road that is registered as a public road, is owned by the local parish.

Yarra Ranges Council representa-

tive for Warburton area Cr Jim Child said while the building had strong sentimental value within the district because of Fr Cerini, it was the Warburton Cerini Community Group’s decision to make.

In response to the possibility of a new committee being established to resurrect the vision of community ownership, Cr Child said that lay with the Warburton community.

“The value of the place is there, and it is appreciated, but in the end you have to get people on board to do that task,” he said.

Fr Cerini’s vision created a building that was ahead of its time, circular with classrooms and ancillary rooms built around a central hall.

It was unique also in that it was built with the help of community members of all faiths who finally saw the popular priest’s vision become reality in 1958 when the school officially opened.

Fr Cerini hit the headlines of Melbourne papers in 1966 when he campaigned for the right of Yarra Junction students to use the government school bus.

For two years, Fr Cerini, the parish priest, drove the school bus to Yarra Junction every day to collect students that lived too far away from the school to walk.

When the priest could no longer drive the bus to collect Yarra Junction students, and with the government refusing to allow them to use the local service, he walked the school’s 35 children to and from Warburton in protest.

After 13 days, students were able to travel to school on the bus.

Pine tree arson probed

By JESSE GRAHAM POLICE are calling for witnesses to come forward after an alleged arson attack on a tree in Warburton over the weekend.

At 4pm on Sunday 19 July, passers-by noticed a man trying to light a fire under a large pine tree in Dammans Road, Warburton.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Senior Constable Ian Brown said the man was seen carrying sticks and bark, placing it at the base of the tree, and setting it alight.

A couple passing by saw the male and spoke to him at the time, and Det Sen Const Brown said the man told the couple the tree was “not indigenous” and a “pest”.

He said the flames reached about

eight metres high, but were quickly extinguished by the CFA, who responded after calls from witnesses.

Det Sen Const Brown said anyone who might have witnessed any suspicious behaviour, or who saw the man light the fire, should contact police or Crime Stoppers.

“It was a very public sort of area, especially on a Sunday afternoon, right by the Yarra River,” he said.

“There could have been a number of people that would have seen that.”

He said the man would have been at the scene of the crime for “at least 20 minutes” while he gathered materials for the fire.

The ex-captain of Warburton Fire Brigade also saw the man at the scene and spoke to him at the time, according to Det Sen Const Brown.

The man has been described as

aged about 30-40 years old, Australian and Caucasian, with light hair sticking out underneath a black beanie, with a scabby or acne-scarred face and was about six feet tall.

Police have released a facial image of the man they would like to speak to in relation to the fire.

Det Sen Const Brown said the tree involved in the fire was “scarred” but would live.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2300.

In last week’s edition of the Mail, a report on this arson attack listed the road as “Damons Road”. This is incorrect, and the correct spelling of the road is “Dammans Road”. The Mail apologises for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Police would like to speak to a man fitting this description over an alleged arson attack in Warburton.

Seven decades of service marked

By KATH GANNAWAY AS A survivor of Gallipoli and the Western Front in WWI, Warburton auctioneer Herbert Thomas, knew what awaited the returned service men and women of WWII. After being demobilised in Melbourne after the war, Herbert Ernest Bennett Thomas took a trip to Warburton.

He loved the place, and three months later returned with his wife to commence a new life, and a new real estate and auction business.

Speaking at the Warburton RSL’s 70th anniversary dinner on Friday 17 July, his nephew Keith Thomas said it was not at all surprising that in 1945 his uncle saw the need for the development of a local sub-branch of what was then the Returned Soldiers, Sailors and Airmens Association - now the RSL. HEB, who died in 1963, was elected first president, and Keith is also a past president.

The small timber RSL building on the banks of the Yarra River was packed for the lunch to celebrate 70 years of service to returned service men and women, and to the wider community.

Guest speaker, RSL state vice-president Major George Logan RFD, spoke of the events and circumstances that led to the formation of the RSSAA in the wake of WWI. Quoting newspaper articles of the 1939-'45 war era,

START TODAY from as little as *

$2000!

he touched on the economy, rationing, the baby boom, six-o’clock closing of pubs, and the changes that the war meant for women.

On a more serious note, Major Logan said the horrors of war impacted on the entire population.

“They impacted in ways that were absolutely appalling, and the RSL, in no small way, helped the Diggers and their families, to cope with the tragedies of war,” he said.

“We neither knew nor accepted that the experiences of war continued to impact upon our lives.”

He said conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are now better understood.

“What was not known then was just what it was, or how it would remain with us over many years.”

He said over the years the RSL has been able to help veterans and their families through tough times.

“You all, better than me, understand just what role this Warburton RSL, through their members, played in those tough times and for this you would all be very, very proud,” he said.

“You have done a great job, and this nation is proud of you.”

Warburton RSL president, Jamie Thomas, said the subbranch was pleased to be reviving the foundation lunch, which he said would become an annual event.

Briefly Nursery trashed and burgled POLICE are appealing for witnesses after the Wandin Valley Nursery was trashed and burgled over the weekend, closing down the business for a busy trading day.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said between 5pm on Saturday 25 July and 9am the following day, thieves broke into the Wandin Valley Nursery on the Warburton Highway.

Det Sgt Barrow said the thieves cut a hole in the nursery’s perimeter fence to get onto the property before smashing a window in the office building.

A safe, containing a quantity of cash, was then stolen from the property, which was trashed in the robbery.

“It looks like the thieves have pulled some things apart, looking for whatever they were looking for - which I assume is cash,” he said.

“There’s a little bit of damage to the property.”

The safe was later found near Silvan Reservoir, and Det Sgt Barrow said a light coloured Ford sedan was spotted in the driveway of the nursery at the time of the break-in.

A staff member at the nursery, posting on a Facebook noticeboard, said the nursery was closed to the public on the Sunday after the burglary.

They said the safe, which was bolted into a cupboard, contained a Surface 3 Pro tablet computer, the business’s cash register float and charity donations.

Anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity, or the light-coloured sedan, is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, www. crimestoppersvic.com.au or Lilydale CIU on 9739 2300.

Watch your surface call WARBURTON police officers are asking drivers to be careful on icy and wet roads, after cars slipped off the road on Mount Donna Buang on the weekend.

Leading Senior Constable Tony Pagels said over the weekend a couple of cars slipped off the side of Mount Donna Buang Road above the Ten Mile Carpark area.

He said it was important that drivers were aware of the conditions on the road - whether it was water, snow or ice - and to prepare before driving up the mountain.

“For those people travelling up this way, be more mindful of the inclement weather and ice section of the road that can cause a hazard,” Leading Sen Const Pagels said.

“Anyone venturing above the snow-line is advised to take appropriate equipment for their car and conditions.”

Though snow chains weren’t compulsory, Leading Sen Const Pagels said it was recommended to use them when travelling past the rainforest gallery area towards the summit of Donna Buang.

Car drives away with caravan

POLICE are searching for a caravan that was stolen from Wandin North last week, and are appealing for witnesses after a car was spotted at the scene of the crime.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said about midnight between Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 July, a Jayco Flamingo caravan was stolen from a Beenak Road property in Wandin North.

The caravan is described as white with black trim around the bottom, and was expandable. Its value is estimated at $23,000.

Det Sgt Barrow said that a light-coloured vehicle was seen driving away with the caravan attached, and has asked for anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Lyrebird on Show Community member Mathew Moxey and Father Arsenio Tuazon cut the 125th birhday cake. 142060 Picture: LYN FRANCIS, DIVA FOR A DAY Fr Arsenio and community member Mathew Moxey then cut the cake, which Mr Roper said commemorated the “strong spirit of teamwork� between priests and people in the parish.

As a mission church, Mr Roper said a priest would travel from Heidelberg by horseback in the church’s early days.

The church has been in regular use since its opening, both by parishioners and for weddings and funerals, and had been restored in the past after congregations raised money to maintain the building. “We’ve been trying to keep it in working order,� Mr Roper said.

A community Mass is held at 7pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the church, while Rosary prayers take place on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at 6.45pm, followed by a meal.

The church is at 20 Sayle Street, Yarra Glen.

YARRA Glen community members came together earlier this month to celebrate 125 years of faith at the Saint Aloysius Church, with 100 people attending the event.

The 125th anniversary of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication on Sunday, 19 July, was a milestone event for the building and its users, according to parishioner, Phillip Roper.

Mr Roper told the Mail that about 100 community members, including priests, and churchusers who have since moved away, attended the event and were led in prayer by parish priest Father Arsenio Tuazon.

TarraWarra Abbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dom David Tomlins and former parish priest, Reverend Greg Bourke, joined Fr Arsenio in Mass, which was also attended by Yarra Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a big barbecue afterward, and people hanging around for a few hours,â&#x20AC;? Mr Roper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went really well.â&#x20AC;?

He said the sun came out in the afternoon of the celebration, warming up the visitors after a cold weekend, and a booklet was shared with the attendees, with stories from the history of the church since 1890.

Coldstream’s got plans

By JESSE GRAHAM COLDSTREAM residents are working away on projects to improve, beautify and grow their town, with a councilrun draft structure plan set to be released in coming months.

Discussions have been taking place in the Coldstream community about how to improve the town, in a series of meetings since 2013, organised by the Yarra Ranges Council.

Now, the council has finished its consultation period on its Issues and Opportunities Paper, which will inform the town’s draft structure plan, expected to be released in October by Hansen Partnership.

But while the official document is being worked on, residents continue to gather to try and improve their town, such as in the recently-formed group, Coldstream Voice.

President, Liz Howell, said the group was where residents could bring all of their ideas together and organise projects or report to council on suggested works.

One of these projects was applying for funding to expand the town’s playground to include new equipment, which is being constructed in the near future.

But not all of the group’s works are about infrastructure - some are simply

about the little touches that will draw people into the town.

“We did a community arts program ... we designed and painted 30 flags, which will be flown whenever there is a community event alongside the highway,” Ms Howell said.

“We’ll have 30 flags in beautiful, vibrant colours - when you’re driving down the highway, you’ll say ‘Hey, there’s something happening in Coldstream today’.”

Ms Howell said each success would give the group more momentum to get others involved.

“I think we’re actually getting somewhere,” she said.

“As we achieve things, like the flags and the playground, it will encourage people to get on board.”

One of the bigger projects for the town is the Melba Connection Project, which is being run by the Yarra Ranges Council in partnership with Coldstream Voice.

Yarra Ranges Council Community and Cultural Development Officer, Santha Press, said the project aimed to link the three areas of Coldstream - the Gateway shopping Centre, the central area of town and Coombe Cottage at the Healesville-end of town - by a path.

Currently, the areas are not connected by pathways, and the Connec-

tion Project’s path aims to showcase the history of the town and its link with Dame Nellie Melba with art, horticulture and installations.

“Coombe is very supportive on this and has lots of ideas, and we’re definitely wanting to start a conversation with traders and businesses in the area about how everyone can work together to realise this vision,” Ms Press said.

“It’s very much in its formative stages and people are very welcome to join in.”

To get involved with the Melba Connection Project, call Yarra Ranges Council on 1300 368 333 and ask for Kym Murphy.

Fitting memorial for Seville

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS A COMMITTEE of Seville locals is seeking help from townspeople to decide what should be included as part of the town’s new commemorative war memorial.

The group responsible for planning and implementing this project includes representatives from the Seville Township Committee, Seville local businesses, the Seville Primary School and the Lilydale and Mount Evelyn RSL clubs.

The memorial for Seville is currently being designed and constructed

by SMAQ Design Collaborations, the same team that designed the Vietnam Veterans Commemorative Walk in Seymour.

The memorial is designed as much as a modern art piece as well as a commemoration for all those from Seville that have sacrificed in wartime.

Each panel of the memorial will be 4.5 metres high and made of glass so visitors will be able to walk inside and reflect on the servicemen and women from the local community.

It will be a central meeting place for members of the local area as well

as a place for reflection and remembrance.

While the more structural basis of the memorial has been decided on, the images and text to go on the memorial are still unknown.

The war memorial committee is seeking community involvement to decide on what should be included.

The committee is hosting a community consultation workshop where members of the community can bring along postcards, letters, photos or stories relating to Seville servicepeople from any and all wars.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, 4 August at 7pm in the Wandin Bendigo Bank boardroom.

Gulf Station best left AFTER reading the article in the paper regarding the relocation of an old derelict church from Healesville to the Gulf Station at Yarra Glen, I couldn’t believe it.

The church, which has no historical connection to the working farm that the Gulf Station is, will require a considerable amount of money spent to get it into good enough condition for it to be used for anything at all.

To use it for weddings, or the like, would mean a new toilet block because there is only one toilet situated in the centre of the station and would not be the ideal location for public use.

The fact of having members of the public roaming around the station unsupervised could be dangerous and cause untold damage.

The volunteers that work there now

Lenscape Lenscape DURING winter, the Yarra Valley is often blanketed in thick fog through the nights and into the mornings. On Thursday, 23 July, Mail reporter VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS snapped this photo of a balloon landing near the Maroondah Highway in Coldstream, and stopped to capture the moment.

could not be expected to give their time more than they do.

Will it also mean that the volunteers would be expected to clean these facilities?

I suggest this church be located somewhere in Healesville where it would have more meaning and keeping with the history of the church.

Keep the Gulf Station as it is; it’s a beautiful area and would be devastating if changed.

Gillian Evans, Mount Evelyn.

Church will get care SO PLEASED to read the historic Mission Church now has a home where it will receive the tender loving care it deserves.

Gulf Station is an amazing place and an ideal location.

To think that it came close to being just demolished makes me angry.

Just because something is old,

doesn’t mean it is no further use.

More respect for oldies please.

Stanley Burgess, Healesville.

Captain’s call IN RELATION to La Trobe MP Jason Wood’s announcement of a marriage equality survey (‘Mail’, Tuesday, 14 July), I wonder if our representative in Canberra really believes the ‘Captain’ of ‘team Australia’ will allow him, or the electors he represents, to actually vote in accord with the result of a survey.

Does he believe he will be allowed a conscience vote?

If he is, with his ‘Captain’s’ consent, of course, allowed a conscience vote, will he vote in accord with his conscience or the result of the survey?

He probably thought a survey was a good idea at the time but it might turn out to be a ‘Catch 22’.

They were charged with having, on 18 July breaking into and entering the home of Rebecca Jeffries Newgrove Road and stole sundry articles valued at 30/-.

The articles included towels, gloves, a torch, razor and a metal pencil.

Mrs Jeffries, a widow, said some of the items were old keepsakes and very valuable. She had given no authority to anyone to enter her home and remove them.

Warburton Mail July 30, 1965 Wesburn to Gain Control of Reserve

NOW that it has appeared in the Victorian Government Gazette, the Upper Yarra Shire Council has been appointed as the ground management committee of the Wesburn Recreation Reserve the way is clear for the Wesburn Advancement League to take control.

With the formation of the Wesburn Advancement League last November, the various ground management and hall and recreational management committees agreed to hand over control of their responsibilities to the Shire Council.

The council agreed that once it had the official control of the ground it would delegate this control back to the advancement league.

Hospital’s Goal is 1000 pounds.

AN appeal for 1000 pounds will be made by the committee of the Upper Yarra Bush Nursing Hospital during August to enable then to open their new nurses wing debt free.

No appeal for the direct giving to the hospital has been made for two years and the committee is confident of generous support from local people.

Mining For Gold at Hoddles Creek MEMBERS of the Hoddles Creek Progress Association have called a special meeting tonight to discuss an application to the mines department, concerning mining along Hoddles Creek. The mining interests plan to spend an estimated 2000 pounds drilling for gold, tin, lead and copper. The area concerned is Hoddles Creek from Yarra Junction with Yarra River extending upstream six miles by one mile wide.

Suitable Site THE Shire Council has asked the Health Department if a Victorian Railway property in Warburton would be acceptable as a site for an Elderly Citizens Club building.

DESPITE attempts by some to quash opposing views, it is pleasing to see that reasonable arguments against the redefinition of marriage are being heard.

The marriage booklet from the Catholic Bishops of Australia is one, and I am grateful that this was distributed via my daughter’s school.

If you wish to uphold marriage, then it is important that those who represent us in parliament (for example, Labor MP Rob Mitchell) hear your view.

If you are of the opposite opinion, or are unsure, challenge yourself to consider all the arguments.

It is not so simple as insisting that ‘love is love’, or that it will not affect you.

Read what Liberal Senator Eric Abetz and others have to say.

It is getting close to the time when parliament will be considering this issue.

Sitting on the fence and staying silent is not an option.

New signs of the times Manning the Shed

By JESSE GRAHAM UPPER Yarra residents young and old came together earlier last week for the unveiling of a new sign for Yarra Junction’s Ben’s Shed, designed and made by teenagers.

At noon on Friday 24 July, community members, Yarra Ranges Council representatives and Ben’s Shed members gathered at the shed on the Warburton Highway in Yarra Junction for the opening of the sign.

Reading “Yarra Junction’s Men’s Community Shed Ben’s Shed Inc. (2008), the sign features wood-like lettering that was designed and created by students at Yarra Valley Community School, in a project organised by the council.

It all started at the school, when Yarra Valley artist Brad Colling and the team from Yarra Ranges Youth Services worked with the students to discuss the difference between street art and graffiti.

Mr Colling then worked with the students on printing and creating artwork, and got the project underway to make Ben’s Shed a new sign.

O’Shannassy Ward councillor Jim Child officially opened the sign and commended the students and everyone involved for their “absolutely amazing” work.

“I’m so pleased and proud to be involved in this occasion today and to actually see this outcome and to launch this today is just absolutely amazing, and I thank each and every one of you for being involved,” Cr Child said.

Mr Colling said the aim of

“We thought ‘we want to do a mural, but how can we get as many benefits out of it as we can?’,” he said.

“We can just do a painting wherever, or we can link the young people with their community and this is a great outcome.”

YVCS student Takysha Gammon and her teacher Kelly Charman then spoke to the crowd at the opening about the

work she and her fellow students did in the class, learning about graffiti and how to create the art piece.

Ben’s Shed president Leigh Hardy said the new sign finished off the shed’s recently completed wall, which replaced one damaged in a car crash earlier this year.

Yarra Ranges Council Youth Services’ Graffiti Safety officer Julie Hanman, who was the master of ceremonies at the event, thanked the community members, before Ben’s Shed treasurer Kate Kite handed out certificates to those involved.

MEN around Healesville - your shed awaits.

The Badger Creek Men’s Shed, whose new $30,000 headquarters was recently finished at the rear of the Badger Creek CFA building, is seeking new men to come on board.

President John Layton said the shed was currently made up of about 14 members, and that the organisation had not previously advertised for new members due to their cramped space.

However, a more expansive shed, worth more than $30,000, has been constructed at the Men’s Shed site, opposite the Badger Creek Primary School.

Though the final touches are still being put on the building, such as balustrading on the stairs, the shed now boasts woodworking and metalworking tools, and space for plenty of members to use them.

The shed, ultimately, has given the group a new lease on life - all that’s needed now is new members to pick up those tools and put them to good use.

Mr Layton said an extra incentive for prospective members was that the new shed had two floors - the first was filled with machines, tools and workspaces. But the second floor of the shed is bare, and Mr Layton said he wanted to get more members on board before deciding what would go in the space.

“At this stage, a lot of the guys haven’t thought about it, because they’ve been so involved in getting it all functional,” he said.

“We have room up there - we could have carpet bowls, we could have table tennis, we can have a reading room or they can have a TV. “But I don’t know what they want, so I don’t want to make any firm decisions at this stage ... until we’ve got a reasonable amount of guys, to see what they want to do.”

The $30,000 funding for the shed came from the former-Victorian Government, and was announced on 29 October last year by Eildon MP Cindy McLeish.

Then-president Brad Hampton said the members of the shed had to raise $15,000 in kind to receive the grant, and managed to do so in a matter of weeks.

STIHL CHAINSAWS E R F AR GE

Mr Hampton said at the time that the goal of the shed would be to help fund the CFA through projects and fund-raising - Mr Layton said that was still the goal of the shed, as soon as it got some fresh blood.

He said the group did not have any age requirements for membership.

And yes, according to the Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA), women are welcome at Men’s Sheds.

The Men’s Shed and AMSA were established to give men a place to go, to help reduce social isolation and to create an environment where friendships can be established and conversations about health, physical and mental, can take place.

The main concern the sheds address is that men are less inclined to talk about their feelings and emotions, or to take an interest in their health and well-being - having a close community in the sheds can help to open up those discussions.

Mr Layton said that, although numbers were lower in Badger Creek compared to larger sheds, such as Yarra Glen, he had made close connections with the members.

“By having the Men’s Shed here, I’ve met a lot more people from up around here,” he said.

“You go somewhere, and you see them, and they say g’day.

“We’ve made some fairly close friends here.”

To express interest in joining the shed, visit the Badger Creek Men’s Shed at 358 Badger Creek Road, near the back of the Badger Creek Hall, on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 9.30am-4pm.

THE Wesburn-Millgrove Fire Brigade is holding their fourth annual ‘Red Hot Fireman’s Ball’ this August to raise funds for the brigade.

The event is a chance for members of the local community and the fire brigade to raise money and have a great night out.

The annual fund-raising event will be held at the Sam Knott Hotel in Wesburn, and all are invited to attend.

The money raised will go towards supporting the Wesburn-Millgrove Fire Brigade by purchasing equipment and other necessities that are required by the brigade.

“The money will be used for purchasing things as the need arises for

them,” Sheridan Ireland said.

While the event is a fund-raiser for the brigade, it is also an opportunity for members of the brigade, their families and the public to get together socially and get to know one another.

The ball has been made possible through donations from local businesses, and there will be auctions

and raffles held on the night.

“It has been a really successful event in the past, and we are looking forward to another great night,” Mr Halit said.

Tickets are still available for purchase at $25 per person from the Sam Knott Hotel or by contacting event organiser Sheridan Ireland on 0437 896 552.

MELBOURNE’S BEST MOVIE PRICES

ANT-MAN is an excellent culmination to Phase Two of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a systems engineer and cyber-burglar recently released from prison, is given an advanced suit that allows him to shrink in size but increase in strength.

Ant-Man is this year’s su-

perior Marvel movie (Avengers: Age of Ultron was entertaining but edited to pieces).

Normally a comedic actor, Paul Rudd is a charming and affable action lead, and has great chemistry with Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly.

The film achieves a healthy balance of humour and pathos, with moving themes of respect and commitment, and the plot is skilfully structured, with fun set-up and clear objectives.

Since the action (for the most part) takes place under our noses, Ant-Man has fantastic, vibrant imagery of the world at tiny scales, and the awesome choreography employs ingenious use of Scott’s size-changing abilities.

Like a literal miniature of Marvel’s successful movie formula, Ant-Man is a very entertaining film with heart, thrills and consistent storytelling.

Preparation key to hitting slopes

By PETER DOUGLAS FOR some during winter, staying indoors rugged up and watching the television can be the way to while away the cooler months.

For others, there is nothing more exciting than hitting the alpine regions, either for play or merely to experience the wonder of Mother Nature.

But snow-goers planning to visit popular destinations such as Mount Donna Buang, or even further afield such as Mount Buller, Mount Hotham or Falls Creek, preparation is key to ensuring a safe return.

That’s not only on the slopes, but on the roads, too.

Drivers are reminded that alpine driving is safe, provided time is taken to prepare for the trip.

TAC road safety manager Liz Waller said there were many initiatives promoting safe alpine driving this winter, particularly among younger drivers.

For example, she said Vanessa Bute from the TAC would be at Mount Buller to promote safe driving practices.

“Buller is a perfect fit for Vanessa where young people love to go for a good time on the mountain,” Ms Waller said.

“We know young people are more likely to be involved in road trauma and, given the additional hazards involved with driving in the snow and wet and slippery conditions, it’s important that young people hitting the slopes keep safety in mind.”

Vanessa will be parked at the Horse Hill chairlift from 7.30am to 11am and 3.30pm to 6pm each Saturday and Sunday until 9 August.

Ms Waller encouraged anyone visiting Buller this winter to adapt their driving to suit the conditions and gave the following safety tips: Drive slowly on ice and snow to retain traction.

Braking should be gentle and not left to the last second.

Use an even pressure on the accelerator to lessen the chances of wheel spin and loss of control.

Use lower gears than normal to reduce speed and assist in keeping good traction.

If necessary, give way to vehicles going up the mountain as they have more difficulty in starting again if stopped.

Always carry chains and ensure they are fitted correctly when required.

Ensure your vehicle has roadworthy tyres.

More locally, Mount Donna Buang continues to remain a good drive up the mountain, where the summit turns into snow play.

But please note, the mountain can be extremely busy during the snow season, so delays may be encountered.

Also, Donna Buang Road may close at any stage if conditions become hazardous, or if the summit car parks are full.

· · ·

Driving to the alps can be safe, but preparation is advised.

· · · ·

Drivers need to be aware of the hazards.

Back in 2014, there were multiple crashes on the road to Mount Donna Buang.

Setting example starts early PARENTS of primary school children continue to be the focus of a campaign to save young lives on Victorian roads.

Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Luke Donnellan, earlier this year introduced the Transport Accident Commission’s ‘Parental Role Modelling’ campaign, highlighting the role parents play in shaping the driving behaviour of their children.

The campaign aims to reduce road trauma among drivers aged 18 to 25, who only make up 12 per cent of drivers in Victoria yet account for around one in five deaths.

It follows international research linking the driving style of parents with that of their children in their first year on their P-plates.

Actions like speeding or talking on the phone while driving are things children might pick up from the back seat without parents being aware.

This is the first time the TAC has directly targeted parents of primary school children in order to reduce road trauma, with parents of children aged 5 to 12 the primary audience.

The campaign highlights the Andrews Labor Government’s commitment to improve safety for young drivers with its Road Safety Starts Early plan.

The Labor Government’s plan includes building the world’s first dedicated road safety education complex - the Crash and Trauma Education Centre - and free defensive driver training for all Year 10 students.

Meanwhile, motorcyclists also continue to be encouraged to ‘travel happy’, as part of a recent awareness campaign to address road rage.

VicRoads’ Director of Vehicle and Road Use Policy James Holgate said unhappy road users were more likely to be aggressive and lack compassion for others.

“This can lead to frustration and anger which can lead to risky behaviour,” he said.

In a recent survey of 1000 road users conducted by VicRoads, 84 per cent of motorcyclists felt the behaviour of others on the road impacted their mood.

Mr Holgate said drivers and motorcyclists alike needed to be aware of each other’s safety when sharing the road.

“Other road users should be mind-

“Just because you don’t see a motorcyclist doesn’t mean one isn’t nearby, so use your indicators when changing lanes.

The survey results indicated that motorcyclists would be happier on the road if other users would keep an eye out for them when changing

Changing times at Holmwood RENOWNED for its safe, comfortable and caring environment, 2015 has been a big year for Holmwood Aged Care.

While its residents have continued to enjoy their carefree, country-like lifestyle, a new management team has been implemented and has some big surprises in store for the local community.

Rob Wylie, one of the new business owners - and a local resident, having lived in the Yarra Valley area for 29 years - couldn’t hide his enthusiasm while describing the plans to develop the home into a larger residency thanks to an upcoming modern extension.

The plans for the extensions are being developed by Smith + Tracey Architects in preparation for submission to the local council for approval.

“For so long, a relaxed country feel has epitomised Holmwood Aged Care, and we have no intent of doing anything to diminish that,” Mr Wylie said.

Rob went on to detail how the extension would allow for more residents to enjoy Holmwood Aged Care, while allowing the home to cater for pressing demands from potential new residents such as more bedrooms with their Rob Wylie says there are big plans in store at Holmwood Aged Care. own dedicated ensuite.

Sensor y garden heals

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS GILLIAN’S Rainbow Bridge project broke ground on their newest activity for children facing difficulties in life last week.

The project is a farm-based learning and healing program for children facing difficulties in life and school groups to experience opportunities they may not have in their day-to-day lives.

The most recent activity for the Gillian’s Rainbow Bridge is the planting and cultivation of a sensory and edible garden for the children to build and maintain.

Yarra Ranges councillor Fiona McAllister helped to plant the first tree, a mulberry tree, in the garden area.

Gillian’s Rainbow Bridge was set up in memory of Gillian Conrad, who was a veterinary nurse who had a dream of helping children facing difficulties and abused animals heal and develop together.

She was known for comforting and supporting clients of the veterinary practice when their beloved pets were put to sleep, including sending them a poem called Rainbow Bridge.

Gillian died suddenly of an asthma attack when she was 31 years old

Healesville Primary School representatives from local community groups, Cr Fiona McAllister and Annette Conrad with animals from the farm as part of Gillian's Rainbow Bridge. 142174 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS in February, 2012, but her mother Annette Conrad has carried on her beloved daughter’s dream.

The project is designed to give children from single parent families, children who have a disabled parent or parent with a mental illness, children who have experienced bullying or have a lack of confidence, and any young person who may not have the opportunities their peers have to experience something new and gain new skills and friends.

The Healesville farm had an open day of sorts last week to invite prospective sponsors, project managers and council members to get an understanding of what the project offers.

“A relaxed atmosphere is so im-

portant here,” Ms Conrad said.

“There is no pressure on the children here and they are invited to be as involved as they like,” she said.

“We find they want to get in there and help out because it’s new and fun for them.”

Cr McAllister had a tour of the farm to see what the project is about and to discuss possible funding options with Ms Conrad.

“This is the first time the council has had an introduction to the project,” Cr McAllister said.

“I think the council would be happy to support this project into the future.”

Most of the animals at the farm are rescue animals that may have

also had a tough start in life and one of the main aims of the project is for children and animals to form a bond with one another.

“It’s about co-healing where the children and the animals learn from and connect with each other,” Ms Conrad said.

Noah has been attending the project for about seven weeks and really enjoys the time he gets to spend on the farm.

“My favourite thing about the farm is being with the animals,” Noah said.

“I can see when they are stressed and I’m pretty good at managing the animals.”

When asked about his favourite animal at the farm, Noah said he liked all of them but there were a few standouts for him.

“I love Rosie the pony,” he said.

“She’s easy to handle and pretty calm but I also like the calves too.”

The program mainly caters to 6 to 12-year-olds and is mostly funded by grants from charities and community groups, donations from businesses and individuals as well as fund-raising.

“We understand it’s difficult for everyone and we don’t expect money from anyone, but we never say no to any donation,” Ms Conrad said.

Making of a mimic A FREE event at The Memo in Healesville this Friday night promises a unique look at one of the region’s most sensational birds - and much more.

The quirky and iconic superb lyrebird is the inspiration behind a performance and exhibition of dance, photography and sound in a new collaboration by leading local artists.

Dances with Lyrebirds draws upon the sensory experience of the forest, lyrebird encounters and mythologies to respond to this unique bird through the various interpretations.

“The program of community events offers the opportunity to engage with and be inspired by this

wondrous creature in our midst,” Warburton photographer Kate Baker said.

Ms Baker, along with dancer Gretel Taylor and sound artist Anthony Magen, are the creators of the event.

The exhibition opening will feature Mandy Nicholson and Djirri Djirri Dance Group performing the Wurundjeri Lyrebird (Buln Buln) dance, a performance by Gretel Taylor, Jacqui Rutten and Myfanwy Alderson.

The exhibition opening is on Friday 31 July, at 6pm with performances at 6.20pm, sponsored by Healesville Community (Bendigo) Bank.

Dances With Lyrebirds opens on 31 July.

Matt and Ruth Gallace of the Matilda's group are planning to ramp up their interest in frozen berries.

Frozen berries in the pipeline

By PETER DOUGLAS YELLINGBO-BASED property Sunny Ridge will play a central role in a development aimed at entering the frozen berry market on a commercial scale.

The Matilda’s group has launched the initiative, after a recent national scare during which 24 people contracted Hepatitis A, believed to be from eating contaminated frozen berries that were imported.

The group’s overall aim is for Australia to have its first 100 per cent locally grown frozen berries.

The Yellingbo property will house purposebuilt equipment designed to process and package the berries, with the fruit being sourced from land throughout Victoria, NSW and Queensland.

Matilda’s co-founders, Matt and Ruth Gallace, said the business had now secured distributors in every state.

“We have had to start this entirely from scratch,” Ruth said.

“That has meant having machinery purpose built and designed, and creating a factory from the ground up.

“The decision has meant things have taken much longer, much like an architectural house build.”

Ruth said they were proud that the group had chosen to take no short-cuts in establishing the operation.

Standout performances were medals to Kiara Flavel (1st), Georgia Laven (1st), James Laven (1st), Maddie Laven (2nd) and Ruby Dixon (3rd).

The Under 13s Boys team also finished second in the teams event.

Congratulations and thank you to all of Yarra Ranges Athletics who came to spectate, compete or help out to ensure another successful day of cross country action.

Snow no barrier for Ewert IT was cold, cold and snowy for the Matlock Championships at the Woods Point Gun Club, but the conditions didn’t stop Trevor Ewert from winning the Double Rise Eye Opener outright.

Shooting conditions were fair but at times falling snow made the targets difficult to see.

The first of the championships, sponsored by the Stewart Bus Company, was a 15 pair Double Rise, two targets thrown simultaneously, only two shots allowed.

Phillip Desmond put together the best score of 20/30 to take the sash and the AA grade prize ahead of Trevor Ewert 15/30.

In A Grade Daryl Ewert’s 17/30 was enough for the win followed by Tom Apps.

Peter West took B Grade with Daniel Chinn 2nd while in C Grade Ron Press with a great 17/30 was the winner from Steven Bedggood.

The Main event was 60 targets Deauville Triples sponsored by Bushies Bakery of Glengarry, a two shooter team, four shots in total, three targets to shoot.

Chinn and Bedggood, two C Grade shooters, pulled out all stops to take the win with 47/60 followed

by Daryl Ewert and David Frazer in 2nd place, 45/60.

This was Daniel Chinn’s first clay target Championship Sash.

Ron Press teamed with Peter West for 3rd place 44/60 while John Winters and Trevor Ewert claimed 4th, 43/60.

A 20-target Continental championship sponsored by Mansfield High Country Parts 4X4 finished the day.

Daryl Ewert shot a perfect 20/20 to take the sash and A Grade.

The AA grade winners were Phillip Desmond 19/20 and Trevor Ewert 18/20.

A Grade 2nd was Tom Apps with B Grade taken on the chin by Chinn, 17/24 from West 16/24.

Press and Bedggood fought out C Grade again with Press in the ascendency, 16/21 from Bedggood, 15/21.

Considering the conditions, the scores in this event were pretty good.

The High Gun sash was sponsored by Mansfield Motorcycles, Mowers and Chainsaws and presented to Daryl Ewert with 85/110.

Lots of hot tucker from Bushies Bakery, a chicken curry and a roaring pot belly stove tempered the freezing conditions.

The next shoot is the Maori Creek Championships on Sunday 23 August, at 10.30am.

Hard work starting to pay off LAST home games for the season in the penultimate round, the Under 12s Girls and Under 11s took on Mount Evelyn, while the Under 9s Woori Yallock, the Under 10s, 12s, 14s and 16s teams hosted Seville.

The Under 9s were back playing after a three week break with consecutive byes.

The team was all fired up and very keen to play.

The players have developed some excellent ball handling skills and both team showed how much they have learnt this year and are starting to create a lot of space on the field.

It’s really pleasing to the see the Under 10s continue to develop their skills and team cohesion.

The team put together numerous excellent team plays and were unselfish in front of goal and kicked 13 majors in muddy conditions.

The Under 11s took on the top side in Mount Evelyn, which got away to a quick start.

The Healesville team dug deep to keep the Mount Evelyn team scoreless in the second quarter and went into the half time break trailing by only two points.

This, unfortunately, fired up the opposition team and they came out hard

in the third quarter and made it very hard for Healesville to score for the rest of the game.

The Mount Evelyn team ran away with the game.

The Under 12s opened with a ripping first quarter against Seville.

Into the wind, the Under 12s scored six goals through unselfish, team-oriented play that really busted open the game.

The conditions deteriorated through the second term, and the combination of Seville’s increased effort and intensity, and a little lack of direction from the team, resulted in a squared quarter.

Lots of positional changes in the second half gave the team the opportunity to work together differently and to their credit, they worked those changes well.

A very solid four points.

The Under 12s Girls played Mount Evelyn in a tight first quarter and went into the break with scores level.

Mount Evelyn soon put extra pressure on that the Healesville team struggled to contain.

Mount Evelyn were eventual winners by 36 points, but Healesville managed to keep them scoreless in the final quarter and showed how much they

have improved from the last time the two teams met.

The Under 14s had an outstanding game against Seville and the opportunity was taken to try players in different positions during the game.

Some of the Under 14s forwards found themselves in unfamiliar territory in the backline and the backline relished their opportunities to score goals when moved to the forward line.

It was fantastic to see the players perform in unfamiliar positions.

The Under 16s played their final home and away game for the season with a bye scheduled for Round 15.

The weather started to close in and provide an additional challenge for the players.

Healesville got out to a strong start and continued to keep the pressure on the Seville side and limiting their scoring opportunities.

The U16s team now turns their preparation to the finals series in two weeks.

Heading for finals FINALS time is looming.

One more round to go for the Dandenong Ranges Juniors.

The veterans played their last round on Sunday and finals will start for them on Sunday 9 August.

Congratulations to Croydon North for finishing minor premiers.

The minor premiership looks all sewn up by Wandin in Division 1, while the reserves is still hotly contested between four clubs.

Healesville and Upwey Tecoma are likely to face up in the Under 18s big dance.

Division 2 seniors is a toss-up between Emerald and Thornton Eildon, while in the reserves it is clearly Emerald.

Netball sees Wandin and Olinda Ferny Creek fighting it out for top spot and it might come down to the last round.

A Grade Division 2 minor premiership belongs to Seville, which holds a healthy advantage, sitting on top of the ladder.

But, finals are different games, as we all know.

The Auskickers form a guard of honour as Mount Evelyn seniors take to the field.

DIVISION 1 SENIORS Healesville 22.18(150) d Upwey Tecoma 6.12(48) Healesville was brilliant in the first half as they piled on 8 goals to 2 in the first quarter and then backed that up with a 6 goal to just 1 point second term to race to a 78-point lead at the main break. Upwey did show a bit of fight in the third quarter and outscored Healesville 3 goals to 1, but Healesville showed their class in the final term, booting 7 goals to 1 to run out 102-point victors after a dominant performance for the majority of the game.

Healesville best players: R. Woodford (5 goals), A. Davies, A. Miller Upwey Tecoma best players: N. Wale-Buxton, S. Dawson (1 goal), B. Duncan

Woori Yallock 15.26(116) d Yarra Glen 1.8(14) Woori should have had this game completely wrapped up at quarter time but they booted 1.12 to just 1 point keeping Yarra Glen in touch.

Woori did break away in the second as they completely controlled the play. They booted 5 goals to 2 points and went to half-time with a 49-point advantage. Woori continued to dominate in the third, booting 4.7 to no score and their lead was out to 80 points. Yarra Glen did eventually kick a goal in the last quarter, but unfortunately it was their only major for the day as Woori added another 5 goals to their total to win by what was an easy 102 points.

Woori Yallock best players: H. Smith, J. Coombs, C. Smedley Yarra Glen best players: D. Hurley, J. Baughan, B. Ashton

Monbulk 16.17 (113) d Warburton Millgrove 10.6(66) Monbulk had a really solid first half, which set up their victory. They booted 5 goals to 1 in the opening term and added another 5 goals to 2 in the second to jump out to a 42-point lead at half-time. The second half was actually a good contest as Warby played a more accountable brand of football making Monbulk work for every possession. Warby booted 7.1 to Monbulk’s 6.12 in the second half, and in reality Monbulk should have won by a greater margin, but was wasteful in the last term booting 3.8. But they were certainly the better side and deserved their 47-point win.

Monbulk best players: J. Anderson (2 goals), M. Langworthy (4 goals), S. Williams (3 goals) Warburton Millgrove best players: J. Iacono (1 goal), T. Walker, D. Brookes

Olinda Ferny Creek 11.15.81 d Mount Evelyn 11.6.72 Olinda may have led this game all day, but Mount Evelyn certainly gave them bit of a fright late in the game. Olinda led by 26 points at the long break after an 8.10 to 5.2 first half and did look in control. Mount Evelyn did reduce the margin in the third quarter to 22 points after they outscored Olinda 3 goal to 2 to keep them within striking distance. The last term saw Mount Evelyn once again reduce the margin as they held Olinda to just 1 goal while they booted 3. Unfortunately for Mount Evelyn, time beat them, which saw Olinda celebrate a 9-point win in what was a very good contested game.

Olinda Ferny Creek best players: D. Noorda, N. Syme (1 goal), M. Mollica (2 goals) Mount Evelyn best players: J. Gardam (3 goals), D. Kift (3 goals), S. Martin

Wandin 19.26 (140) d Belgrave 7.7(49) Another dominant performance from league leaders Wandin as they handed Belgrave a 91-point belting.

Wandin controlled play early and booted 9 first half goals to 3, but should have had a greater lead as they also booted 12 behinds. Wandin was once again wasteful in the third as they booted 10 behinds. They did, however, also kick 6 goals to go with that while Belgrave slotted three and Wandin’s lead was out to 74 points at the last change. The last term was a bit of a slog, but Wandin still outscored Belgrave 4 goals to 1 to win easily once again.

Wandin best players: R. Ross, J. Taylor, M. Polkinghorne (1 goal) Belgrave best players: B. Dadswell (1 goal), P. Gough, D. Collins (3 goals)

Garratt McDonald (Olinda Ferny Creek) targets the ball in the Pictures: GREG CARRICK pack. 142272 DIVISION 2 SENIORS Seville 13.9 (87) d Alexandra 10.7(67) Alexandra started off well in the first quarter booting 5 goals straight to Seville’s 3 to grab a 12-point lead at the first change and give Seville plenty to think about. Seville was a lot more accountable in the second term and defensively was excellent.

They kept Alexandra to just four behinds while they added 5.3 to go into half-time with a 17-point lead. The second half was a very even contest and went goal for goal but Seville was able to hold off any challenge that Alexandra threw their way and was able to hold on to win by 20 points in what was a hotly contested battle.

Seville best players: K. Mullett (1 goal), L. Aitkens, A. Wind

Emerald 17.22(124) d Yarra Junction 2.2(14) Emerald was just way too good for a Junction side that struggled to match their dominant running power.

Emerald led by 29 points at the first change and stretched that to 45 points at the main break. Emerald really put their foot down in the third as they hammered on eight goals while Junction scored 1 goal which was their first for the day. Emerald’s lead was 91 points at three-quarter time. The last quarter still saw Emerald control the play but they did finish with an inaccurate 3.7 to 1 goal in the final term, but, nevertheless, they won in a canter by 110 points.

Emerald best players: M. Dompietro (1 goal), D. Karacsonyi, P. White Yarra Junction best players: C. Spaulding, E. Wadsworth, T. Cordwell (1 goal)

Kinglake 17.11(113) d Thornton Eildon 9.10(64) Kinglake has bounced back to some of its best form with a 49-point win over the in-form Thornton Ei-

ldon. Kinglake started the day full of run as they booted 7 first quarter goals to 2 to lead by 31 points at quarter time. Thornton Eildon did bounce back hard in the second term and played direct football that paid dividends on the scoreboard as they kicked 5 goals to 1, which saw Kinglake lead by just 4 points at the main break. The second half really did belong to Kinglake. They won the majority of the one on one contests and had Thornton Eildon chasing tail. Kinglake booted 4 goals to 1 in the third to lead by 25 points at the final change and then finished off in great style with a 5-goal-to-1 last term to come away with a great victory and bounce back into top form.

Kinglake best players: T. Thone-Kain (1 goal), A. Whelan, J. Nixon (5 goals) Thornton Eildon best players: Z. King (1 goal), R. Chapman, B. Musgrove

Gembrook Cockatoo 9.7(61) d Yea 4.6(30) This wasn’t the prettiest game to witness as it was quite low scoring, with a total of just 13 goals scored for the day with seven of those goals coming in the first term. Gembrook led by eight points at the first break after a 4.2-to-3.0 first quarter. There was only one goal scored in the second term, but that did go the way of Gembrook and their lead was out to 18 points at the main break. The second half was a battle but Gembrook was the team that did control the tempo of the match. They booted 2 goals to 1 in the third and then added another 2 goals to just 1 point in the last to come away with a 31-point win in a game that didn’t have a lot of highlights but Gembrook won’t be too concerned about that as they’ll happily take the victory Gembrook Cockatoo best players: R. Causer (3 goals), R. Pepi, C. Vernal Yea best players: J. Marasco, E. Neilson, P. Evans (2 goals)

By KATH GANNAWAY HEALESVILLE’S footballers will don pink jumpers for the club’s annual football and netball breast cancer round.

The match against Monbulk at Don Road this Saturday will see the club’s footballers, netballers and supporters raise funds for the McGrath Foundation and the Breast Cancer Network of Australia.

The day will combine the special ‘Pink’ match with their president’s lunch for sponsors and Life Members.

Club vice-president Kym Estcourt said there would be plenty on offer for spectators, as well as many opportunities to support two great organisations.

The club will put on a high tea, while the half-time entertainment will see a whole new generation of ‘Bloods’ on the ground for the Auskick grid game.

The pink jumpers worn by the players will go under the hammer at day’s end.

Kym said the pink round was part of the club’s annual program, but it was the first time the footballers would run onto the ground in the symbolic pink.

The McGrath Foundation is one of Australia’s leading breast cancer support organisations, with over 33,000 Australian families supported by over 100

Healesville players, including Ashraf Davies and Nelson Aldridge (back), Tim Costigan, Casey Adams and Dylan Anderson, will harness the power of pink for Saturday McGrath breast care nurses nationally in the last six years.

“We usually raise about $1500, but we wanted to raise

more so we can make an even more significant donation to each organisation,” Kym said.

The club is hoping the wider

Healesville community will get behind the club and help make Saturday’s round a huge success.

Gates open at 10am for net-

ball and the Under 18s football match, followed by the reserves, with the seniors kicking off at 2pm.
