Your future is their passion AT HEALESVILLE High School, your future is their passion, and, as such, they are excited to introduce their High Achievers Program.

Introduced in 2016, this program aims to provide a specialised and exciting opportunity for academic students.

All students at Healesville High School are challenged and guided to achieve their personal best. However, for students in this program, their academic growth is a key focus and they will work with like-minded peers to develop their ability to think critically, creatively, and to be inspired by learning.

This is a select-entry program, meaning all enrolled students will go through a specific entrance process.

Successful students will be placed in the same class. These students will have access to enrichment activities to develop their leadership qualities, their critical thinking skills and their passion and enthusiasm for learning. As they approach their senior years, they will have access to VCE-level studies ahead of time.

Yarra Ranges SDS is ‘back on the horse’ YARRA Ranges SDS is taking part in the Riding for The Disabled Association (RDA) horse riding program in Warrandyte again, after a 10-year break.

Students from the middle school are getting the opportunity to partake in the program on Wednesday afternoons.

Merilyn Dixon the teacher in charge is “delighted” with how the students have reacted positively to the challenge and increased their independence and confidence by riding with minimal assistance.

Small school feel, big opportunities YARRA Hills Secondary College is a multicampus state secondary school serving the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

The college has a Year 7 to 10 Mount Evelyn Campus, as well as a Mooroolbark Campus, which houses a Year 7 to 10 ‘junior school’ and a Year 11 and 12 ‘senior school’ on the same site.

Having recently completed a $20 million redevelopment on the Mooroolbark site, with further renovations at the Mt Evelyn Campus, the college has become a preferred destination for many local families.

Principal Darren Trippett has overseen this growth since joining the school in 2012 and considers the college now as a ‘transformational’ school.

“Over recent years we have been working hard to develop and promote our college values: Respect, Endeavour, Achievement and Pride,” he said.

“One of the things I noticed most when I first arrived at Yarra Hills was the lack of knowledge in the local community of the excellent programs we had in place.

“We have acclaimed co-curricular programs in instrumental music, performing arts, visual arts, sports and outdoor education.

“Being multi-campus also allows us to maintain smaller class environments in both of our junior school precincts, which then combine to feed into our senior school.”

With the larger numbers then available at senior school level (Years 11 and 12) they school is able to offer comprehensive VCE, VET and VCAL programs for their students.

This allows us to truly offer a ‘small school feel, with big school opportunities’.

Tours of both campuses are now available and can be booked through the general offices.

The college encourages mutual respect among teachers and students.

A new specialist Year 7 learning area with dedicated creative spaces designed to cater to all aspects of transition to the college and secondary education is also a highlight.

A master plan has been established to ensure that the college continues to provide a quality education in a modern environment.

In addition to a strong emphasis on traditional education, students of

Mount Lilydale Mercy College have every opportunity to experience personal growth and fulfilment.

From participating in leadership programs, to performing in annual play and musical productions, undertaking social justice activities such as assisting with the weekly soup van, to harvesting home-grown produce and representing the college in almost anything, including pursuits such as chess, debating, team sports, and weightlifting.

They’re living with change

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS WE LIVE with change - every moment, hour, day, year, every lifetime!

Rich and fun learning occurs at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Yarra Junction.

At St Joseph’s School, Yarra Junction the children have been striving to understand change.

They have identified the elements, types, impact and catalysts for change.

As they develop an understanding of our country’s changing history there is an appreciation that they are creating the history of the future and as such they can identify themselves as catalysts for change.

The senior children have researched the lives and events of pioneers in the colonies here.

They have turned their classrooms into the goldfields and have become the characters that succeeded or failed on the diggings.

They have grown to consider ways in which we change our home, town, country and world - for better or worse.

The school takes great pride in the environment and is involved in various environmental programs including Sus-

There are approximately two working bees per term in which families work around the school grounds to keep them maintained, so parental and family involvement is very important at St Joseph’s.

The school has a vibrant Visual and Performing Arts pro-

Teachers at St Joseph’s Yarra Junction are recognised as a strong Professional Learning Community, and continually contribute to the rich learning environment for contemporary learning in the 21st century.

School with a difference By a parent AS I walk into the kinder room at Little Yarra Steiner School, I am struck by the way in which the children play.

They are so completely absorbed in their game that they don’t even notice as I enter.

The days are getting colder and there is a wood fire burning in the corner.

I can smell the bread rolls the children have helped to make baking in the oven.

All the toys the children use are made out of natural materials - wood, cloth, stone and shells.

A cloth becomes a cape and a child becomes a king.

Another child enters, having sailed across the sea on his boat (wooden blocks stacked up on each side) and wants to enter the king’s castle ... and so the negotiations begin.

Playing is hard work.

As a parent of a young child, I had been searching for a style of education in those younger years, where the nature of the young child was honoured.

A place where he could be a child and experience all the learnings that come from that.

Where playing equals learning - learning to work with and respect other people, experiencing the world of his own imagination (the beginning of creative thought) and where there was a clear structure to his daily routine.

During those younger years, I watched him flourish in this environment, growing as a confident and happy child.

My child has since moved through to the primary school, where he has had the same teacher for the last three years.

This is a relationship based on a respect that goes both ways.

There is continuing growth of understanding of how each child works, who they are and how they can be best supported through the challenges they face, as they arise.

The work that he brings home is rich and varied, and his pride in sharing all that he has learnt is moving.

Who could have thought maths could be so interesting?

It is not only my child who is being educated, but I am also learning more about what goes on in the classroom through each term’s parent teacher meetings.

As different stages emerge for him, some challenging, some wondrous; I find that these are addressed through his daily experience at school.

This is an education that truly meets the needs of children as they grow and develop over time.

Looking towards the high school, I know that the foundation built in these early years will set him in good stead to springboard from into his secondary schooling.

I went to the high school information evening last week, where teachers spoke with such passion for their respective subject areas.

What struck me most was that although they each taught and were very knowledgeable their individual subjects, there was a sense of unity among the staff body; where teachers were all in

This is an education that truly meets the needs of children. 153813 constant communication about students and curriculum.

The curriculum is integrated across each year level, where teachers often spoke about making classes relevant and engaging.

How does maths live in the world?

Well, it seems that parabolas can be found everywhere! Nothing is left out, while there is clearly a broad academic program, this is well balanced through an extensive camps program, music and the arts.

Children, and indeed, humans are not just a mind, or a body, or our emotions - we are complex beings and it is refreshing to find a style of education that truly meets the needs of a child in all ways.

When schools talk about educating the ‘whole child’, it is clear to see that Little Yarra really lives it.

The students learn to work with and respect other people. 153813

Don’t wait to start learning

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS IF YOU’RE interested in getting started on some study, you don’t wait until 2017.

Box Hill Institute’s Lilydale Lakeside Campus is now accepting applications for courses starting in July.

Courses beginning mid-year are available in areas including apprenticeships, information, digital media and technology, animal studies, design, biosecurity, and training and assessment accreditations.

The former Swinburne University campus is located just off Melba Avenue, Lilydale and has been freshly refurbished and revitalised.

The campus was officially re-opened in February, bringing more much-needed TAFE opportunities back to the local community.

Jessica Caudwell started at Lakeside in February this year studying a Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care.

“I’d always loved children and I’d heard this course at Lakeside provided really good stepping stones to further studies down the track,” she said.

“I’m really happy I chose to come here because it’s local and right from the start it felt nice and welcoming.

“Everyone is smiling and friendly, it’s really well run and organised. It’s been really easy to build relationships and the teachers offer plenty of help and support. I’m very happy to be at Lakeside.”

With more than 70 courses being delivered this year, the campus offers a range of opportunities for people to build their skills and qualifications locally with a trusted and well-known TAFE. A partnership with Deakin University and William Angliss Institute has allowed Box Hill to provide a wider variety of study options on-site for students.

Government funded training scholarships are

Box Hill Institute’s Lilydale Lake Campus provides state-of-the-art learning facilties. 153869 available - even if you’ve previously claimed government study subsidies - meaning you could save thousands of dollars compared to studying with a private training provider.

The campus offers outstanding facilities in a stunning natural location high on the hill above Lillydale Lake.

Simulated workplace training environments provide unique hands-on learning opportunities

delivered by teachers who are also industry experts.

Small class sizes and practical applied learning provides students with the skills they need to be job-ready or go on to further study.

Lilydale Lakeside Campus is accessible by bus or a 10-minute walk from Lilydale train station and childcare is available on-site at the new Lakeside Children’s Centre.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED Free parking is also available for all students on campus.

A mid-year enrolment night will be held at the campus on Thursday 16 June from 3.30pm until 6.30pm. To register, to arrange another time to enrol or to find out more about the available courses, please call 1300 BOX HILL or visit boxhill.edu.au.

Life education to face challenges IN THIS rapidly changing and challenging world, children need life education programs that prepare them to face this new century with optimism, confidence, flexibility, resilience and independence.

Carnival is coming MARK Saturday, 22 October in your diaries, because a carnival is coming.

Healesville Primary School will be hosting a carnival later in the year, to celebrate the school’s 150th birthday.

Principal Cameron Heath and assistant principal Rebekah Clarke, pictured with Dylan Osmond and Chloe Lorgelly, said the students would be studying the history of the school and the town this year, and putting together performance pieces for the day.

They’ve asked former students to come forward with reports, stories and photographs from the school’s past, for historical displays. For the full story, turn to page 3. 153456 Picture: ROB CAREW

Nine months’ jail

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S former Chamber of Commerce president will appear in court for an appeal, after being sentenced to nine months’ jail on Wednesday, 4 May. Graham Taylor, 60, was handed four-month and nine-month jail sentences, to be served concurrently, after pleading guilty to 48 counts of fraud and deception.

He appeared in court on Wednesday for sentencing, after pleading guilty in a hearing on 6 April, bringing character references and community members for support.

Marysville’s Bruce Ackerman told the court about Taylor’s work in the community after the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires.

He said Taylor was “unselfish” in his work, running events for the Marysville Lions Club and Coldstream’s Ro-

chford Wines, often working into the next day to pack up.

“We often wondered if he ever slept,” Mr Ackerman said.

He said Taylor had put “time and effort ... into trying to rebuild our social and economic well-being” after the bushfires, and added that his crimes were “most out of character”.

But prosecuting officer Leading Senior Constable Bianca Smith crossexamined Mr Ackerman, and said the groups Taylor had worked for had also been the ones he had stolen money from.

“All these places he’s been doing good work for, he’s been stealing from, according to the current charges,” Leading Sen Const Smith said.

Leading Sen Const Smith noted that Taylor also had a previous conviction for fraud and deception, after keeping cash payments and using customers’ credit cards in 2006 to steal $17,800

from a conference centre where he was property manager.

His recent charges occurred between February 2014 and March 2015 - during that time, he stole money from people’s credit cards; stole money and wine from Rochford, where he worked; used credit cards falsely to purchase concert tickets and stole $1110 from the Healesville Chamber of Commerce, where he was president until his arrest in 2015.

He used credit cards 33 times for cash advances, and on one occasion stole wine from Rochford for a victim, to maintain the guise of having used their credit card legitimately.

Taylor also stole $2860 from the Marysville Lions Club, where he was president from 2013-’14, which was given to him to pay a contractor; he kept and spent the money.

The Mail reported last month that an agreement had been made between

Taylor and the club to repay the money, and that his 48 charges did not include one for the Lions club theft.

Taylor said that he had visited his GP, and that the “root cause” of his thefts was “an obsession with gambling”, and said that he was seeing a psychologist every fortnight for treatment of his depression.

He said he felt like he “couldn’t ask people” to supply character references, following reports of his pleading guilty last month.

Magistrate Jillian Crowe noted Taylor had provided a letter from his psychologist, and his latest character references, but made an order for restitution of the money and handed down a jail term.

“In these circumstances, you stole from your employer - you were a trusted employee, you were obviously a very valuable person in the community I accept that,” she said.

“You have been a good community member, in terms of assisting ... but you’ve also been very dishonest and ... ripped off those very organisations that you’ve been assisting.”

Taylor was sentenced to four months in jail for his theft charges, with nine months in jail for his deception charges, to be served concurrently.

Magistrate Crowe told Taylor that, if not for his guilty plea, he would have received six months for the theft charges, and a year for the deception charges.

Taylor was also ordered to repay $2400 to Rochford Wines; $10,959 to American Express; $2195 to the National Australia Bank (NAB); $2200 to ANZ; and $1674 to Westpac.

A Magistrates’ Court of Victoria spokesperson confirmed later that day that Taylor had lodged an appeal, and had been given appeal bail as a result.

THE Gladysdale Apple and Wine Festival is always a whole community effort, but this year’s event really put that commitment to the test.

The school was faced on festival day, Sunday 1 May, with no power, and it was touch and go for a while as to whether it would go ahead.

“We made the decision to go ahead as best we could and the whole community pulled together to make it work,” said teacher Belinda Jones.

“We borrowed generators from footy clubs, families and local businesses, and in the end had a great atmosphere with most of the stalls and food providers on board, the talent show and entertainment all went ahead - all generated by generators.”

“It just shows how our little community rocks and rolls out here at Gladysdale,” she added.

The school is still tallying up the proceeds of the day, but Ms Jones said it was another successful day all round.

Down memor y lane

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE Primary School families, past and present, are being asked to share their stories, photographs and reports from years gone by, with a 150th celebration slated for October.

The school will officially celebrate its 150th birthday in a carnival event on Saturday 22 October, with former and current students called on to visit and pay tribute to their alma mater.

Principal Cameron Heath and assistant principal Rebekah Clarke said Healesvillians should save the

date, and come along to celebrate as a town.

Ms Clarke said the students would be studying a unit through the year, where they learn about the history of the school and the town.

“The kids will have some kind of performance element, based on the theme they learn about, that they’ll be presenting on that carnival day,” she said.

Ms Clarke said that some families in town had several generations of children come through the school, like the Jensen family, who have had students at the school over

the last 80 years.

To mark the 150th, Ms Clarke said the school was looking for memorabilia from families that came through the school, including photos, records, or stories, for heritage displays.

“We really want to encourage people to come along and feel like they get to celebrate if they went here, even if it was a long time ago,” she said.

“There’s a lot of generations ... we certainly want to encourage people to feel like all of those generations can celebrate, not just the

students that are here now.”

Mr Heath said the students would perform on stage in the school hall at the carnival day, with rides available on the day, as well as stalls run by classes and external vendors.

“It’ll be like a big carnival feel, the majority based around that heritage, and the performances from each class,” he said.

Anyone who may have information or historical items to pass on to the school can call 5962 4053, email Healesville.ps@edumail.vic.gov. au, or visit the school office in View Street, Healesville.

In brief Police have concerns for missing man, Tej Chitnis.

Picture: VICTORIA POLICE

Search for Tej continues THE SEARCH for missing 22-year-old Tej Chitnis continued over the weekend, when family and friends came out to scour the area and raise awareness of their plight.

Mr Chitnis was last seen on Wednesday 27 April, when he left his Burwood East home in his silver 2005 VW Golf - registration number TTF-517.

He usually drives to Blackburn station, parks nearby and catches public transport to university, but he failed to return home at 4pm - his car has also not been seen since.

A family member told the Mail that his phone last pinged in the Healesville area after 11.30am on the Wednesday morning, and searchers made their way through the valley on Saturday 7 May. However, a post on the Help Find Tej Chitnis Facebook page said there were no new updates after the search, but added, “We will not give up!

We will find him!”

Healesville Leading Senior Constable Chris Hickey said Mr Chitnis was sighted heading through town on CCTV footage on the Wednesday, but added that there had been no sightings since.

He said Mr Chitnis’ bank accounts and phones had not been used since then.

Senior Sergeant Mick Jones told the Mail last week there were indications he had an affinity with Yarra Valley and Healesville.

“The movements of his vehicle have not been confirmed, but there may be some indication he has travelled through that area,” Sen Sgt Jones said.

“We’re extremely keen to locate his vehicle, or hear from anyone who may have seen Tej.” He asked people to keep an eye out and for anyone with information to contact triple-zero, Forest Hill police station on 8847 3636, or Healesville police on 5962 4422.

Cuppa for a cause

By JESSE GRAHAM A CUP of tea for a good cause will be on the menu on Thursday 26 May, with Healesville’s Lions Den Op Shop inviting residents and visitors in for a cuppa.

From 10am, the op shop will open its doors for visitors wanting a cup of tea, a scone or a muffin for the Biggest Morning Tea, in support

of the Cancer Council of Victoria.

Elaine Dossor at the op shop told the Mail that she and others from the shop were visiting businesses and taking orders for the day, but that people could walk in for a drink and a bite.

She said the shop would also be selling hand-crafted aprons, tea cosies and beanies on the day, all made by two local women, with all funds

going to the Cancer Council.

Despite having bad weather on the day in recent years, Ms Dossor said the event was always well-attended, with $1600 raised last year.

“Most days, people come in, even though the weather for the last two years have been very wet and cold,” she said.

“We’ll get the cups and the little muffins out to the offices for their

morning tea - it’s $3 for a cuppa and a muffin or a scone.”

A raffle for five hampers is also being run at the shop in the leadup to the event, with the winning tickets to be drawn on the Biggest Morning Tea day.

For more information, visit the op shop at 183 Maroondah Highway, Healesville, or www.biggestmorningtea.com.au.

POLICE are hunting a shrub thief who struck Yarra Glen earlier this month, making off with about 30 plants from a nature strip on Bell Street.

Overnight, between Thursday 5 and Friday 6 May, about 30 small plants were stolen from an area at the Bell Street pedestrian crossing in Yarra Glen.

Healesville police Leading Senior Constable Chris Hickey said the plants were “tiny little baby things”, taken from a seeded area at the crossing.

Anyone with information, or whose neighbour had a brand-new garden spring up overnight, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Five times legal limit A LILYDALE man had his car impounded for a month over the weekend, after police caught him driving nearly five times over the legal alcohol limit.

Yarra Ranges police posted on the Yarra Ranges Eyewatch Facebook page, saying the man was seen by police driving on the footpath in Main Street, Lilydale, shortly after midnight on Sunday, after leaving a take-away restaurant.

He then underwent a breath test, and was found to have an alleged blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.242 - nearly five times the 0.05 legal limit.

His licence was suspended for 12 months, and he will be summonsed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Challenging financial climate YARRA Ranges Council has been on a journey of finding ways to save money and looking for efficiencies in the way we work for a number of years.

We understand the cost pressures facing households and are committed to keeping rates as low as possible, while still carrying out important services and improving infrastructure.

The State Government has introduced rate capping to the Local Government Sector, with a rate cap of 2.5 per cent set for the 2016-'17 budget year.

Yarra Ranges Council is committed

From my

desk Jason Callahan

Yarra Ranges mayor/Chandler Ward

to meeting the 2016-'17 cap, and will not be applying for a variation.

While Local Government faces a challenging financial climate, increasing customer expectations and rapid change in the use of technology, we are

committed to implementing initiatives to provide best value to residents.

As well as the challenges of less rate revenue as a result of the State Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate capping, many of our other funding sources are diminishing too.

We are experiencing ongoing reductions in Federal and State Government recurrent and capital funding, while expectations of the services we provide continue to increase.

To counter this, we have been working to improve our internal processes, reviewing our internal services for ar-

eas of waste and duplication and tightening labour costs through innovation and new ways of working.

Through these processes, we are confident we can continue to provide the best value services and infrastructure for our community.

Despite the revenue constraints of the rate cap, councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016-'17 Budget will continue to deliver a broad range of infrastructure projects for our community, and will include $38.5 million of capital investment across a broad range of assets across our municipality.

Testing our patience

Healesville Driving School's Graham Bolton said that removing VicRoads services from community Picture: JESSE GRAHAM link buildings was a "disappointment". 153896 cil service,” she said.

“When the service review came up, and we realised the financial situation it was going to create, the decision was made.

“It’s not ideal at all - I would have hoped there would have been a way that they could continue their service.”

Council director of corporate services Troy Edwards said that it was “no longer financially viable” for council to provide services on behalf of VicRoads.

Healesville Driving School’s Lisa Barber and Graham Bolton said the change would cost young drivers and their families in the Yarra Ranges and Murrindindi council areas more time and money.

“I have quite a few (students)

coming from as far away as Alexandra, Buxton, Narbethong and Marysville - it will affect them as well, because we are their closest office,” Ms Barber said.

She said the drive test would also be more difficult for young drivers than in the valley, with the Mooroolbark test taking in the Five Ways roundabouts, as well as lane changes and merging.

“For me to bring up somebody for the test-related criteria that is specific for Mooroolbark, we have to drive there - so it’s going to take more lessons and longer drives,” she said.

“Those that are living in the Yarra Ranges are disadvantaged by having to move to Mooroolbark.”

Mr Zandegu said VicRoads

would “continue to work with the affected communities to ensure they have access to key services, including online, by person and in person at alternative customer service centres”.

“VicRoads has been working closely with Yarra Ranges Shire to minimise impacts to the community as a result of the closure,” he said.

Despite temporarily suspending licence testing in Healesville in April, Mr Zandegu said drive test appointments would be available in all three community links until 30 June.

The Mail contacted Yarra Ranges Council to ask how much hosting VicRoads in its community link buildings cost the organisation annually, but did not receive a response before deadline.

YOUNG drivers will have to travel into Mooroolbark for their licence testing from the end of June, after VicRoads announced it was pulling out of Yarra Ranges Council community links.

On Wednesday 4 May, VicRoads and the council announced that community links in Healesville, Yarra Junction and Monbulk would not provide VicRoads services after 30 June.

VicRoads acting director of registration and licensing services Serge Zandegu said that more places had been added to their Licence Testing Centre in Mooroolbark roughly half an hour’s drive from Healesville - to accommodate drivers from the valley and hills.

Getting to the testing centre will require people without a licence to catch a bus up the Warburton or Maroondah Highway, catch a citybound train to Mooroolbark, then walk to the centre - or hitch a ride with someone who can drive.

Those who need to use other services of VicRoads will have to travel to Burwood East, Dandenong or Heatherton - with a minimum travel time of 53 minutes each way from Healesville - or do so online.

Yarra Ranges councillor Fiona McAllister said that the presence of VicRoads in the council’s link buildings left council out of pocket - but that cutting the services “wasn’t an easy decision to make”.

“Ultimately, it’s a VicRoads service, so it puts us in a difficult situation - we don’t want to create a situation where people have to travel further, or there are costs or inconvenience, but, by the same token, it’s a VicRoads service, not a coun-

Yarra Valley’s Decision: LPG vs Natural Gas Do the math before deciding!

• The cost of converting gas appliances, according to Rinnai, is anywhere from $270 to $345 for EACH appliance.

• The natural gas supplier only runs the gas line from the main to the meter - everything after the meter is your responsibility and cost.

Your results will vary based on the available tariffs, your gas consumption and your cost to convert.

• Supply charges vary, with some national supplier tariffs starting ing from around $284 per year before any gas use, and this figure could be higher.

• Natural gas providers charge a daily supply charge, when you u multiply it by 365 days, it becomes a huge annual cost.

Healesville Guardian, 9 May 1936 In Case You Didn’t Know CR S.R. Mowle is convening a public meeting to be held in the council chamber next Friday night, 15 May. The committee appointed to investigate the proposal to establish a bush nursing hospital at Healesville will present their report and an address will be given by Professor Marshall Allen of the university.

To enable a definite decision to be made in the matter, it is essential that a good public response should be forthcoming.

Cr Mowle intends displaying the plan of the proposed hospital in Miss Collier’s window at an early date.

With the worthy object of aiding the Children’s Hospital, the Healesville Ladies’ Swimming Club will hold a Monster Ball in the Memorial Hall on Wednesday 13 May. There will be plenty of novelties and prizes and the festivities will be topped off with a tip-top supper.

Music will be provided by a fine band of instrumentalists.

Admission 2/6 for ladies and gents.

A consignment of poultry was sent from Healesville this week by Mr J.T. Cornish to the Dookie Agricultural College comprising 30 Australorp cockerels for the college breeding pens.

The government poultry expert from Dookie after inspecting the flocks said he had no hesitation in selecting Mr. Cornish’s birds and compli-

mented him on their quality and health.

Upper Yarra Mail, 12 May 1994 Hopes to re-open Yarra Junction Hospital hinge on members meeting HOPES to re-open Yarra Junction and District Hospital will centre on a meeting of members proposed to be held within a month.

The hospital closed last Friday following a resolution by the committee of management after the National Bank of Australia failed to agree with a plan to fund redundancy pays.

The Thompson Nursing Home Annexe remains open.

Shire votes to join Healesville UPPER Yarra Council has formally adopted a recommendation that it join with the Shire of Healesville and the rural part of the Lilydale Shire.

The motion by Crs Sandra Hutton and Paul French stated that “Council support the formation of a rural-based municipality comprising the existing areas of Healesville and Upper Yarra Shires along with the rural sector of Lilydale. This recommendation option provides for a rural Yarra Valley municipality, including Lilydale as the Major township.

The plan shows a diagonal line from Mount Evelyn to Wonga Park as the preferred included rural areas.

Opinion Shave sincerity ON BEHALF of the Leukaemia Foundation, I would like to thank the thousands of Victorians who did something extraordinary for the World’s Greatest Shave 2016 and shaved or coloured their hair.

Every week, 58 Victorians are diagnosed with a blood cancer or a related blood disorder.

As the Leukaemia Foundation receives no ongoing government funding, the support of the community will help meet the increasing demand for our support services.

Each year, the foundation supports thousands of people and their families by providing practical services at no cost. These services include: information, practical assistance, emotional support, transport and accommodation for regional families required to relocate closer to metropolitan treatment centres.

We also invest millions of dollars each year into vital research to improve treatments and find cures for blood cancer.

There is still time to sign up or make a donation at www.worldsgreatestshave. com Stephanie Hechenberger, General Manager Victoria Leukaemia Foundation.

Just stop it I BELIEVE that they should stop logging the Toolangi State Forest because logging cuts down homes that belong to endangered species like the Leadbeater’s Possum and the Helmeted Honeyeater.

The Leadbeater’s Possum lives in holes in large trees that take about 100 to 200 years to grow a big enough hole for the Leadbeater’s Possum to build a nest to breed in.

They shouldn’t cut down the trees because it ruins their habitat.

The Helmeted Honeyeater lives in dense vegetation and needs the reliable rainfall of the tall eucalyptus forest.

If they cut down the old trees, it won’t be dense and wet any more.

If they cut down the trees, there will be less oxygen and the people won’t be able to see the beautiful environment and there will be more global warming.

Please stop cutting down the Toolangi State Forest because it’s bad for the animals, environment and people.

Ivy Tucker (9 years old), The Patch.

Platinum promise SO THE shire Taj Mahal down in Lilydale is in need of a $28 million facelift; and it probably does need some maintenance and upgrading relating to safety issues.

This has certainly been an ongoing issue, since before this council’s term: when ratepayer anger was vented over the cost to fund; what was touted at the time by a former councillor as a proposed environmental six-star rating showpiece.

According to the report to council, there were two other options available, $18 million and $22.5 million, which would address the accommodation and safety-related issues.

But what the heck, let’s just borrow another $5.9 million and have the platinum option; it’s only ratepayer money.

While some forward planning is good, there is no guarantee the shire in its present form will exist into the future.

There may well be less need for large staff accommodation in Lilydale.

Now, this approval is for $5.9 million borrowed, plus $3.8 million from the renewal budget.

That makes $9.7 million, where is the other $19 million coming from?

Ah, yes, wasn’t that what all the anger was about last time this came up, wasn’t it borrowed also?

It should be noted, of course, this council approval was not a unanimous decision, with Cr Andrew Witlox absent and councillors McAllister, Cox and Cliff voting against it - perhaps the five councillors who voted to approve the expenditure aren’t intending to contest the next election anyway.

John Anwin, Healesville.

Trail plan to bring benefits

By JESSE GRAHAM

NEW

18 - 24th May

The trail will make its way down the railway reserve between Lilydale and Yarra Glen, before heading to Healesville and Warburton. 152419 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM ing community, the running community, the local community, visitors - it will be fantastic when we make it happen,” she said.

“I’d like to know where, anywhere else, something like this would be duplicated.”

Councillors unanimously voted to release the study, allocate $550,000 from unallocated money in the Capital Expenditure Program for detailed designs of the trail, and write to VicTrack requesting use of the Lilydale to Yarra Glen railway reserve.

The third stage, in the Coranderrk Aqueduct, will not be able to progress for five years, however, with the aqueduct still in use to transport drinking water from Sugarloaf Reservoir to Badger Weir.

With Melbourne Water set to

divert this water to Maroondah Reservoir in five years, the aqueduct will then be available for the trail.

Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan said the study would allow council to advocate for state and federal funding, and that he hoped parties would take notice of it during the upcoming federal election campaign.

“We all know this does draw a crowd - we’ve now done the work behind it,” he said.

“The generation of economic benefits and people coming into the area for tourism ... is going to be very exciting.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing where we’re going with this.”

A COLOSSAL trail connecting Yarra Glen and Healesville to the Warburton Trail is a step closer to reality, with the council putting out its plan for feedback.

On Tuesday 26 April, Yarra Ranges councillors unanimously voted to release its Yarra Valley Trail Feasibility Study to the public, for an eight-week consultation period.

The trail involves three stages, connecting Lilydale to Yarra Glen with a rail trail; connecting Yarra Glen to Healesville with a shared-use path; then connecting Healesville to Warburton via the Coranderrk Aqueduct Trail.

Once finished, the trail would make an 60 kilometre loop through the valley, starting and finishing in Lilydale.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $10.6 million, but council projects it will bring 210,040 visitors annually, with 222 new jobs and will generate $30 million as a result.

At the meeting, Ryrie Ward councillor Fiona McAllister said that a “huge amount of work” had gone into the feasibility study, with more than 1000 people commenting during the process.

“It has huge levels of community support, from the cycling community, to the walk-

A fresh approach to boarding GREG and Irene Adams have created a premier ‘home away from home’ boarding facility for your dogs and cats.

The newly renovated facility, which fully complies with the current code of practice, sits on 20 peaceful acres and has everything your pet desires while you are away.

After owning a very big kennel in Yarrambat for over 10 years, Greg and Irene feel that their boutique facility in Dixons Creek is the best option as your pet will receive that extra special individual attention.

Dogs have very roomy apartments with trampoline beds and an undercover run to themselves or they can share with another dog if you prefer.

They have two playtimes each day in the large grassed runs where they are free to just

roam around, sit in the sun or enjoy a game of fetch.

Every dog will be treated to a luxurious spa bath and blow dry on their last day.

Clipping is also available by a professional groomer, if desired by the owner.

Cats have their own individual tri-level suite with windows and an outside garden area where they can enjoy the beautiful vista across the valley while being very safe and secure.

Cats are given a daily brush and special diets are catered for, especially the extra fussy eaters.

Irene and Greg’s goal is to provide a luxurious, relaxing, clean, safe and enjoyable experience for your pet so that pet parents can relax knowing that their pets are living it up on their own holiday and that they

are being well cared for.

A pick-up and delivery service is also available in a specially designed van.

As Greg says; “It’s great when the pet runs from the house to the van and jumps in even before the owners have said their goodbyes”.

Inspections are welcome anytime during business hours from 8am to 5pm seven days a week.

Greg and Irene are proud of their facilities and feel an inspection is the best way for owners to feel comfortable about trusting someone else to care for their family member.

A Dogs Domain and Cats too are located at 2083 Melba Highway, Dixons Creek.

Hit and run car sought

By JESSE GRAHAM A DIXONS Creek couple is searching for answers after being “left for dead”, when their car was side-swiped on a hairpin corner just out of Yarra Glen.

At 6.35pm on Friday, 29 April, Karen Fossey was driving towards Christmas Hills on Yarra Glen-Eltham Road, when she came around a hairpin corner, just past Mount Wise Road.

Her husband, Ian Fossey, said their car was hit by another coming down the hill, after it failed to negotiate the corner in the wet.

Mr Fossey, who was not in the car at the time of the crash, said the other car side-swiped his wife’s car, causing extensive damage to the driver’s side door, panels and wheel, before driving away. Mrs Fosssey’s car was spun around on the road, and she managed to pull the car over, despite the damage, and called her husband and the police.

“She pulled around the corner, and she couldn’t go any further, and she just saw tail lights going off in the distance,” he said.

He arrived shortly afterwards, followed by Healesville Police officers - they made statements, and contacted their insurance company, but the other car disappeared.

Speaking to the Mail on Monday, 2 May, Mr Fossey said he hoped someone had spotted the car - believed to be white and extensively damaged on the driver’s side - or that the driver would hand themselves in.

“We don’t care so much about the car, it’s someone just driving off - they don’t know the circumstances,” he said. “My kids could have been in the back. It’s just so annoying that someone could leave someone for dead, basically.”

He said that he drove around Yarra Glen looking for the car, but found nothing.

Yarra Glen Police Sergeant, Richard Coulson, said the crash had a “significant impact” on the Fosseys' car, and that police were looking for people with information to come forward.

“The (other) vehicle would have sustained fairly significant damage,” Sgt Coulson said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

The Fosseys' car was heavily damaged in the crash, and the other Pictures: CONTRIBUTED car allegedly drove away. 153668

Tree’s fate in council court

By KATH GANNAWAY THE fate of a tree deemed ‘dangerous’ by Yarra Junction sporting groups will be decided by the nine Yarra Ranges councillors.

Cr Jim Child confirmed last week that he has lodged documents to take the matter out of the hands of the council officers after being advised they will refuse a planning application to remove the tree.

The Mail reported in March that three clubs using facilities adjacent to the gum tree at the Yarra Junction Reserve want the tree removed because it is dropping limbs.

As the tree is on council land, the council is required to apply to its own planning department for a permit to remove the tree which has been assessed by the council’s arborist as between low and moderate risk.

Cr Child said he called the matter in on the grounds of public safety.

“It’s the wrong type of tree for where it is and, irrespective of height it doesn’t provide shade,” he said.

“We should plant something there, but something appropriate.”

Yarra Junction Netball Club co-ordinator Charlene Booker said netball training had to be called off on a windy Tuesday night last week.

“The tree is right beside the court and we have to walk under it to get to the courts,” she said.

“So when it’s windy, we feel our players are at more risk.”

The cricket training nets are also adjacent to the tree.

The issue was raised after a limb fell on the seating area, fortunately no-one was in the area.

Cr Child warned then that he believed the council would “be in strife” if that had happened when it was being used with as many as 80 to 90 people in the area.

He told the Mail he had requested the matter be heard at the next council meeting on Tuesday 10 May, but has been advised it won’t be dealt with until June.

The federal election has now been announced.

All Australian citizens aged 18 years or over must be enrolled to vote now.

If you’ve recently turned 18, become an Australian citizen or changed your name or address, make sure you are enrolled.

Enrol or update your details online at www.aec.gov.au or pick up an enrolment form at any AEC office or post office and return it to the AEC before 8pm Monday 23 May.

Your vote will help shape Australia.

Bard’s classic adapted

By KATH GANNAWAY AS THE world celebrates the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, Mount Lilydale Mercy College’s VCE Theatre Studies class is staging an adaptation of the Bard’s classic comedy, ‘‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ that is anything but traditional.

‘Dream’ opens on Thursday 12 May. The college’s aim is to produce not just a high-quality performance, but to also maximise for students all aspects of the arts in an imaginative, fun and supportive environment.

Building on a 30-year tradition of musical and dramatic productions, the class of 16 students undertake roles in direction lighting, sound, set and costume design, make-up, publicity and production management.

Molly Mackinnon, who plays the love-struck ‘Helena’, said she had found producing a show to a high standard allowed for everyone’s creative ideas to be heard and used.

“I have found myself learning from other production members and the company, different ideas, themes, jokes - they all bring something extra to our table, it’s a very imaginative and creative environment to be in,” Molly said.

The set design portrays Ancient Athens in a modern design style.

“This contrasts the Greek obsession with form, elegance and symmetry; with the chaos, randomness and mystique of an enchanted Forest ... . where the characters find their true selves,” she added.

The script has been updated and renovated into modern-day English, but with care paid to retaining the lyrical beauty of the original phrasing.

There are the famous Lords, Lovers and Fairies, however, Molly said, one element of their reinterpretation was to portray the wannabe actor Mechanicals as ‘hipsters’, in a tribute to contextualising ‘Dream’ deep within the heart of Melbourne’s local culture.

Guided by teacher Mr Kamahl Russell, the students learn all theatrical and stagecraft elements of planning, developing and producing a scripted performance.

“These amazing kids have achieved something incredible,” Mr Russell said.

“Their humour, their ideas, their irony, their experiences of love and relationships are reflected in every line they deliver.”

‘Dream’ is opening on Thursday 12 May at Mount Lilydale Mercy College.

Tickets can be purchased through the school’s website, or at www.trybooking.com/LCYA

Mount Lilydale students Peter, Gina, Rylee, Amy, Candice, Shannon, Corey, Ashleigh, Molly and Jack, along with Montana, Greta, Alex, Casey and Bodhi (absent from the photo) make up the creative force behind A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Avengers 2.5 is so hot Captain America: Civil War Starring Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. Rated M

1227134-RC19-16

CAPTAIN America: Civil War is everything Batman v Superman, and even Avengers: Age of Ultron, should have been.

The Sokovia Accords, a UN-ratified act seeking to regulate superhero activity, splits the Avengers into two factions. Captain America (Chris Evans) wants heroes to continue acting independently, while Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) fights for government oversight.

The Russo brothers return from Captain America: The

Winter Soldier with a powerful, funny and superbly constructed ensemble piece.

The characters are deep and have fantastic chemistry, whether friend or foe, and their interactions have a refreshing sense of respect between adversaries. Captain America and Iron Man’s teams both have legitimate points and layers of moral grey in their respective causes, and their conflict places palpable strain on their friendships.

Civil War’s action is thrilling and wonderfully inventive, the pacing is impeccably tight, and the film successfully juggles a huge number of prominent characters. Civil

War introduces cool new heroes such as Spiderman (Tom Holland) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), and gives previously established characters engaging development and great moments, but never robs the spotlight from the core players of Captain America and Iron Man. Civil War also tackles compelling political themes while grounding the plot in a poignant, affecting personal story about Captain America’s old friend Bucky/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) As far as I’m concerned, this is the actual Avengers 2.

Wandin girls make histor y

By KATH GANNAWAY AFTER more than a century of football on the hallowed Wandin ground, girls are making their mark.

With women’s football making headway at the top levels of the game, Wandin has recruited a team that is showing great potential and unbridled enthusiasm on and off the ground.

Club Vice President, Randall Pye, said the club failed to get a team in the girls’ competition last year, having to withdraw with just three or four registered players.

“This year we had a couple of highly motivated girls who were so keen to get the team up and running that they recruited the whole team themselves,” he said.

When around 16 girls turned up for the information night pre-season, Pye said everyone at the club was not only shocked, but tremendously excited.

“The rest is history,” he said.

“After 100-plus years of existence Wandin Football Club has its first girls’ team, which is just fantastic.”

Pye said the team has also had great support from the local Wandin-Seville Community (Bendigo) Bank who sponsored a large portion of the team’s registration, making it accessible to the girls.

“The club is very appreciative of that support,” he said.

Joint coach, Tony Weeks, said girls’ football was really making headway with the EFL and AFL Yarra Ranges combining to create a competitive competition for the girls.

“The competitive spirit of the girls is amazing,” he said.

Asked if the girls are brave, he laughed.

Making history, the Wandin Girls’ Football Team with Wandin Seville Community Bank representative Graeme Johnson and co-coaches, Dave Picture: ROB CAREW Bull, left and Tony Weeks. 153671 “I really thought there would be a lot of squealing, but there’s none of that,” he said.

“Everyone is different, some go harder at it than others, but they are all really competitive and keen.”

He said three or four of the team had played Auskick or in junior football, and all had played netball or basketball bringing in skills that show through in their defending and positioning.

The challenges are mastering the drop punt, and a modified rule that rules out kicking off the ground aims to encourage more handling of the ball to

build those skills.

The girls are also not allowed to sling a player to the ground after a tackle – but there is no hesitation when it comes to tackling.

The tally so far is two wins to two losses, but there is no doubt, Weeks said, that the team is just getting stronger every week.

That capability is reflected in the fact that three players are represented in the Under 15 squad for interleague, a real boost for the club in its first year.

Wandin Football Club’s history has added a new and exciting chapter.

Garside bags a win WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY Stroke and M. McGrann ‘Bag day’: Winner on the day was the ever-consistent Ian Garside with a Nett 68.

Runner-up, with a 69 was the also consistent John Hall.

The ball run-down extended to 73. The NTPs were; on the 3rd, Ron Hottes, 2nd shot on the 10th, P.K. (nearly an eagle!) and Lynda Dickson with a superb tee-shot on the 12th.

SATURDAY Stroke and Monthly Medal: Jon Cross is in ‘hot’ form of late and he continued it yesterday with a Nett 70 to seal the Medal for May. But he did not win A Grade; that went to a visitor. Ben Leaver, a member at Yering-Meadows, shot a great Nett 68. B Grade went to Wayne Kempton, in a welcome return to form.

He had a Nett 72. The balls went down to 75. The NTPs were won by Sam Dennis 3rd, Tim Blanche 5th, Chris Fall 9th, Geoff Fall 12th and Danny Fox 15th.

The prestigious Captain’s Trophy for 2016 was also decided on the day; and guess who snared that award – Junior Cross.

He really is performing well.

Congratulations, Chins!

Phil Brock is tutoring would-be rally drivers in the skills of the sport. 153735

Sharpening up rally skills WOULD-BE competitors keen to test their skills at tarmac rallying can sign up for a new program being run by a man called Brock.

Phil ‘Split Pin’ Brock, youngest brother of the late touring car legend, Peter, has joined forces with Mountain Motorsports, organisers of the Australian Tarmac Rally Championship, to train would-be rally drivers in the skills of the sport.

Brock and business partner Steve Whyte will be ‘on duty’ at the next round of the series, the Lake Mountain Sprint at Marysville/Lake Mountain (28-29 May), with their team of driving instructors to work one-on-one with drivers entering the touring category of the rally.

Event director Peter Washington hopes the program will bring more people into the sport and introduce them to the possibility of competing at a higher level.

“Entrants who sign up for the touring category not only get a chance to enjoy their cars in a safe controlled environment, but they also get to improve their skills with tuition from some of the best in the business,” he said.

“All of us hope this program will be a training ground for future competitors, a low-cost entry into the sport and hopefully a pathway to bigger and better things.

“Many of our touring category entrants have come along initially to just put a toe in the water, and then decide

they will commit to going further, gaining their competition licence and buying a rally car.

“With Phil and Steve’s program, they can now get proper one-on-one tuition as they take part in our events, with instruction for drivers and codrivers.

“We hope the experience will be so enjoyable that they will decide to become regular competitors in the sport, whether that be in our tarmac rallies, or in other events.”

At the Lake Mountain Sprint, which is based at Marysville, Phil Brock’s role will be as host and tour leader to the touring category entrants.

He will lead the entrants through each stage, teaching them the correct

lines through the event route.

Phil and Steve and their team will take time with each individual driver, analysing their abilities and working with them to increase and enhance their skills in tarmac rallying and what it involves.

Touring competitors must be clothed in non-flammable clothing from neck to wrist and ankle but not necessarily a race-suit.

Driver and co-driver must wear helmets.

They can run a standard road-registered vehicle without a roll cage.

Limited entries are still available for the touring category in the Lake Mountain Sprint.

Entries are also available for the final two rounds of the 2016 series, the Snowy River Sprint (Lakes Entrance, 24-25 September) and the Great Tarmac Rally (Marysville, 10-11 December).

All ATRC events are also open to full tarmac-spec competition vehicles to contest the modern (modified), classic (pre-1982) and showroom classes.

Crews must wear full race-suits and helmets and be licensed by Australian Auto Sport Alliance (AASA).

Further information on this year’s events is available from event director Peter Washington (0418 337 955) or visit www.australiantarmacrally.com.

Bright Spark for small cars

The Spark brings a level of quality, comfort and charm well beyond its competitors. 153874 stability at highway speeds.”

MacLean noted there are plenty of modern conveniences.

“The Spark’s interior provides a few other surprise-and-delight factors with the large 7.0 inch touch screen a clear focal point,” he said.

“There’s also decent storage with a large binnacle at the base and two cupholders.

“The high-set driving position provides good vision through the expansive glasshouse.”

The Spark comes in numerous attractive offerings including the base LS, the CVT auto, the range-topping LT. To find out more about the Holden Spark, visit www.holden.com.au/.

TOP Australian motoring commentators have dubbed the new Holden Spark one of the best small cars on the market.

The 2016 Holden Spark, which has superseded the Holden Barina Spark, has been created to offer something for all drivers, including the tech-savvy.

Simply, the Spark is much more than just a budget friendly vehicle that is incredibly cheap to run.

Mike Costello from Caradvice.com. au said the argument for its ‘benchmark’ status was clear.

“Not only does this model lead the segment in the all-important area of in-car connectivity - it gets Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration on large screen as standard - but it gets localised Australian-developed steering and suspension to make it more liveable,” he said.

Costello said the Spark far outstripped others on the market.

“Key rivals are the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Micra and Suzuki Celerio, none of which match the equipment offerings of the new Spark, or come close to its engine outputs,” Costello said.

Meanwhile, Andrew MacLean from Drive.com.au said the Spark boasted much appeal.

“Having sampled the little five-door hatch for the first time ... the Spark brings a level of quality, comfort and charm well beyond its competitors,” he said.

“The Spark drives like a grownup car with a level of compliance and composure that is well beyond its rivals.

“The steering has a natural feel across the ratio with good on-centre
