October 2015 on the introduction of two new defibrillators being placed around Seville and Wandin. After hearing about the Wandin defibrillators, Mr Welsh said it made sense to make them available in Mt Evelyn. “It’s really about raising awareness - because if people don’t know where they are they can’t use them,” he said. He said there hadn’t been any specific cases he knew of that made the cardiac arrest awareness closer to home, but said it was good for the community. Mr Welsh said at a defibrillator train-

“It has instructions and tells you what to do as you’re helping the victim - whether to step back or do something else. “It’s quite unbelievable.” He said the first thing to do before accessing the defibrillator was to call triple-zero. “Basically any person can use them,” Mr Welsh said. “They may not be confident, but they can use them - it’s very userfriendly.” For more information, visit www. nhw.com.au/Eastern-Region/YarraRanges/Local-Areas

ing day in February, he was told some alarming statistics by the instructor. “The man who conducted the training said without early defibrillation, only about five per cent of people in cardiac arrest will pull through,” Mr Welsh said. “But it rises to 70 per cent with the use of a defibrillator.” If someone is in cardiac arrest, Mr Welsh said a person could simply look at the poster and see they need to go to either the pharmacy or the IGA to access the defibrillators. “From then, they take the defibrillator to the victim,” Mr Welsh said.

POSTERS have been placed throughout Mt Evelyn trader windows to display the whereabouts of defibrillators for cardiac arrest emergencies. As part of Mt Evelyn Neighbourhood Watch Week on 3-9 October, posters will be distributed in shop windows in Mount Evelyn. The posters are bright green with a red heart in the centre, followed by instructions on where to locate the defibrillators. The two External Automated Defibrillators are located at the Mt Evelyn

Pharmacy, and the Mt Evelyn IGA. Chairman of the Mt Evelyn Neighbourhood Watch Committee, Geoff Welsh said putting posters around town was important when someone was in need of help while in cardiac arrest. “If someone needs help, having them (the defibrillators) is one thing, but knowing where to go is another,” Mr Welsh said. “How else would you know where they are otherwise?” Mr Welsh said the committee had been working on the posters for the past six months.

Scoop on new staff BORN and bred in the Yarra Valley, budding young journalist Jodie Symonds has taken on a journalist role at the Mail News Group. Ms Symonds will now report for the Ranges Trader, Ferntree Gully Belgrave and Mount Evelyn Mail newspapers. The very talented Victoria StoneMeadows has left the Mail News Group to work for the Star News Group in Pakenham. “I’m very excited to take on this role, as I have completed my Bachelor of Journalism degree at La Trobe University in Bundoora a short time ago,” Ms Symonds said. “In December, I moved to Shepparton to work for an agricultural newspaper called the Country News, which gave me a lot of knowledge I hope will assist my role here at the Mail. Throughout her university degree, she attended one day a week of work experience at the Mail News Group to get her foot in the door in this tough industry. “In my spare time, I enjoy bushwalking with my family and playing with my blue heeler, Winnie,” the 21-year-old said.

Theatre space is popping up By Jesse Graham AN OLD warehouse in Lilydale is being transformed into an art space for the month, with a hills artist hosting free theatre performances and an art exhibition. Cockatoo resident Gareth Hart has organised a Pop-Up Theatre space in Lilydale, re-purposing an old warehouse space to host artists and performers throughout October. On Saturday, 1 October, the space hosted Dave Thomson, who presented a performance installation with light and sound, exploring power, loss and hate using projections, surround sound and lighting. On 8 October, Justine Walsh and Thomas Webster will present spoken word poetry and a saxophone performance, while on 15 October, Viv Rogis will perform a projection and dance installation. The next week, Melbourne Steam Theatre will present their own production of Alice in Wonderland and from 1-15 October, Amy Middleton will present a mixed media exhibition in the space. However, until residents sign up for tickets to the events, the warehouse location remains a secret. Mr Hart, one of the organisers of hillsceneLIVE Festival, said the pop-up theatre was part of a new trend of “activating alternative unused space’ with art and installations, which came out of the Renew Newcastle festival in Newcastle, New South Wales. He said the event, which is supported by the Yarra Ranges Council, would also showcase the work of artists who live in the Yarra Ranges. “They’re not traditional - nobody’s doing a piece of Shakespeare,” Mr Hart said. “They’re kind of one really incredible, special element about why we all live out this way, the community is really strong. “There’s such an incredible quality of artists living out here.” Mr Hart said that if the event is a success, he’ll look at organising more in the future. All of the events for the Lilydale Pop-Up Theatre are free. For more information, visit www. hillscenelive.com/lilydale-pop-up-theatre.

Poppies to remember By Jodie Symonds MOUNT Evelyn Sub Branch and RSL Appeals organisers are gearing up for the annual Poppy Appeal. It comes as a timely reminder to remember this November. From late October, thousands of the much-loved, iconic red poppy will be sold to raise funds for current and former servicemen and women in need. Mount Evelyn Sub Branch is

ready for this year’s Poppy Appeal, with a group of volunteers committed to making the appeal a great success. President of Mount Evelyn Sub Branch, Roger Boness said it is the volunteers’ commitment time and time again, making the Poppy Appeal a great success. “Our community continues to come together to support the Poppy Appeal in the lead-up to Remembrance Day,” Mr Boness said.

“It is humbling to see the wave of support and enthusiasm by the locals who support the Poppy Appeal in so many ways.” RSL Victoria Appeals Manager, Peter Smith said not only did buying and wearing a poppy show respect for Australia’s fallen heroes, but it helped raise vital funds to assist past and present servicemen and women and their dependents in times of need. Poppies were among the first

croydon

plants to bloom in the devastated battlefields of France and Belgium, and since 1921 they have been used in remembrance of those who fell during times of war. Poppies can be purchased from Woolworths, Officeworks, and RSL Sub-Branch or from volunteer collectors in your local community from late October. To date, visit www.poppyappeal. com.au

Beware of headaches Body

watch Jerome Higgins

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda

HEADACHE is one of the most common illnesses in Australia, with around 15 per cent of us taking painkillers for a headache at any given time. Because headaches are so common, most people think they are a normal part of life. However, a persistent headache is a sign that something is wrong. The continual use of pain medication to combat headaches is akin to removing the warning light that alerts you to a problem in your car! Medication doesn’t solve your headache; it simply offers a shortterm solution to dull the pain. Tension headaches and migraine are the most common forms of headache and cluster headaches are most rare. Other types of headache include sinus headache, rebound headache and exertion headache. Headaches can result due to a variety of reasons including stress, poor posture, accidents, medications, environmental factors such as strong odours and pollution and dietary irregularities. Perhaps one of the most overlooked causes of migraine and tension headache is due to nerve ir-

ritation in the upper neck caused by poorly functioning spinal joints - cervicogenic headaches. Since the nerves of the upper neck supply areas of the scalp and face, irritation to these nerves can and does often lead to headache. Cervicogenic headaches can easily be distinguished from other types of headache by a physiotherapist, and treatment to relief symptoms is usually extremely effective and fast. By carefully restoring proper movement to the spinal joints of the neck, your physiotherapist is able to significantly reduce the presence of nerve irritation and muscle tension helping to alleviate the cause of your headaches. Commonly, people with cervicogenic headache often have weakened postural muscles through their upper back and shoulder blade region, which is akin to weakened ‘core’ muscles in the lower abdomen in people with low back pain. Additionally, many headache sufferers will have increased tension through jaw and temporal muscles of the skull, which are easily assessed and treated. Your physio can then teach you exercises to improve the endurance and strength of your postural muscles, or stretches to relieve tight muscles, which will help to prevent headaches in the future. Sometimes this preventative stage can take much longer than the relief treatment itself, as your body needs to re-learn good postures and you in turn become more aware of how you are moving, sitting or standing.

Olive branch to landowners By Jesse Graham DELWP has extended an olive branch to Yarra Valley landowners, addressing the concerns of an advocacy group in a meeting in Woori Yallock last week. On Wednesday 28 September, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) staff met with nine members of the Yarra Waterways Group to discuss the Yellingbo Conservation Area. The reserve covers 51,000 hectares and encompasses waterways from Healesville and the Dandneong Ranges, stretching as far as Sassafras and Emerald. The Waterways group was established to express concerns of landowners who were affected by the change, such as those who would have their licences over Crown land ended. The Mail reported earlier this year that DELWP had advised some land-

owners that their licences over Crown land would end on 30 June, though this deadline was extended. Chairman Rick Houlihan said the meeting addressed many of the group’s concerns, particularly those about fire management and the acquisition of freehold land. “We’ve got a commitment from the department that there will be no compulsory acquisition of any freehold land in this process,” Mr Houlihan said. “A lot of people have been a bit worried that the department was going to say, ‘We want to get our corridor, we want some more land’.” He said communication would also be improved, and that people involved would receive personally addressed letters, rather than generic ones. “It’ll sort-of appease a lot of people’s worries,” Mr Houlihan said. DELWP Port Phillip Regional direc-

tor Kelly Crosthwaite said that 45 licences due to be phased out were cancelled as of 30 September, but that DELWP would undertake “no compliance activity for the next sixth months”, as new arrangements are found. “At the meeting DELWP acknowledged that there needs to be a more practical approach to the implementation of the new area, and that DELWP needs to improve its communication with impacted landowners,” Ms Crosthwaite said. “It was acknowledged that improvements have been made already.” Ms Crosthwaite said that DELWP would be inviting community members to “lead the development of strategic plans” for the management of the area next year. “The plans will address bushfire risk, biodiversity value and water quality, weeds and pest animal management, and recreational use,” she said.

Pets left homeless By Peter Douglas

Eastern Brown snakes will become active during the warmer months. 159971

Picture: JAROD LYON (DELWP)

Joe Blakes are on the make THE arrival of spring weather means that everyone is wanting to get out of doors, at the same time as Victoria’s snakes are starting to become more active. With this in mind, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has issued a reminder to communities to stay vigilant. Senior DELWP scientist Nick Clemann said throughout Victoria at this time of year, snakes were emerging from winter hibernation to get some sun, and to look for food and a mate. “Spring means many people want to get out and do things like walking dogs, cycling, bush-walking, enjoying parks and gardening so, depending on where they live and walk, they are likely to see a snake,” Mr Clemann said.

“Snakes are more common in areas around the urban fringe or in rural areas, but they do turn up surprisingly close to cities and towns, especially around watercourses and in parkland.” “Closer to the Victorian coast the most frequently encountered snakes are Tiger Snakes and Lowland Copperheads, while in the drier areas, Eastern Brown Snakes are common and Redbellied Black Snakes are also encountered.” “All four species are dangerously venomous, but it is rare for them to bite people.” If you live in an area with snakes, please remember: If you see a snake - keep calm and try to move yourself, anyone with you

and your pets away from the snake; touch or attempt to capture or · Never hurt snakes - instead call DELWP on

· · ·

136 186 for further advice, or call a licensed snake catcher; Have a spring clean - clean up around the house and cut lawns regularly snakes are attracted to shelter such as piles of rocks and timber, sheets of metal, or building materials; Undertake first aid training, ensure your first aid kit contains several compression bandages, and if someone is bitten, call triple-zero immediately; Snakes are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975. It is illegal to capture, kill or harm them. Bites can occur when people try to kill snakes.

AFTER recent RSPCA Victoria statistics pointed to the Yarra Ranges as being a hot spot for animal cruelty, further data has revealed 52 animals have been surrendered in the region over the past financial year. Of all Local Government Areas in Victoria, the 25 dogs, 22 cats and five kittens that were surrendered in the Yarra Ranges ranked 17th in the State. Earlier statistics ranked the Yarra Ranges fourth for the number of reports of animal cruelty. Although, with 41 animals being abandoned within the Yarra Ranges over this period, the fact 52 animals have been surrendered is a preferred outcome, according to the RSPCA. RSPCA CEO, Dr Liz Walker, said more than two-thirds of the 3627 dogs and cats surrendered to RSPCA Victoria in 2015-'16 came in because of their owner’s circumstances, rather than issues with the animal’s health or behaviour. Dr Walker said this new analysis busted the myth that rescue pets were ‘damaged goods’. “Just 9.5 per cent of owners who brought their dogs and cats to us for re-homing said that problem behaviours - such as barking, aggression, destructiveness, chasing or inappropriate toileting - were the reason,” Dr Walker said. “A further 1.2 per cent said that animals' health was the main reason for the surrender.”

By contrast, human circumstances were the driving force behind 2780 animal surrenders (67.2 per cent). Dr Walker said it’s a reminder to aspiring pet owners to consider the adoption option. “People’s lives and circumstances can change quickly, often for reasons beyond their control,” Dr Walker said. “It’s important that we understand that these things are beyond the control of the animals in our lives, too but they have an impact.” Meanwhile, Catherine Grayson, from Harmony Reins Animal Haven, recently reminded pet owners to consider their options carefully, if they were having difficulty caring for their pets. “Don’t ever think there isn’t an option, simply do your research and there are people out there who will help you,” she said. “There is always someone who will put up their hand to help you out.” Some of the statistics in the new findings included: About 7.9 per cent (287) of the dogs and cats surrendered last financial year in Victoria came from breeders or those involved in the greyhound racing industry; A further 4.7 per cent were brought to RSPCA Victoria by Good Samaritans who had either found them abandoned, or rescued them from neglect; and One in 10 people bringing dogs or cats for surrender declined to give a reason.

AUSTRALIA'S accomplishments in solar power and renewable energy past, present and future could be made totally pointless if the Federal Government approves the giant Adani coal mine in Queensland. If approved, it will be the biggest coal mine in the southern hemisphere and it will release 4.6 billion tonnes of climate pollution. We need strong leadership from our politicians on this issue to ensure future generations have a chance of living in a safe climate. Peter Cook, Dandenong Ranges Renewable Energy Association, Clematis.

the initial round of community consultation, four scenarios for an Emerald Hub were presented for public input. And the results are in. It would appear that at last the community is to witness the start of concrete planning and a date set for work to commence. Being president of the recently formed Hills Photographic Society, the Emerald camera club, I felt that at last Emerald would get a modern multi-use facility with state of the art features, which the camera club is eager to share. But is my excitement premature? According to the article, out of a total 235 respondents, 160, in varying degrees, voted for the hall to be demolished and a similar, if not larger space created to replace it. Only 75 were in favour of scenario No.1, the only plan that would retain the existing hall. In other words 68 per cent of respondents would like to see a ‘new hall’ built, as part of the hub and only 32 per cent want the existing hall retained. That’s a straightforward positive outcome of a totally democratic process in my book. However, rumours abound that suggest my excitement may be somewhat premature. I hope I am wrong. Let’s ensure a minority vote does not overshadow the majority. Let’s ensure that a final plan incorporating the preferred features of scenarios 2, 3 and 4 ensues and Emerald gets its promised community hub. It will be a facility to serve the needs not just of the present population, but those who come after us for many years into the future. So, if you want the hub we voted for, jump on the phone and ask the (Yarra Ranges) Council about the current state of play. After all the goodwill that we’ve seen, and the hours upon hours of volunteer time put into the process by community representatives, it would be a miscarriage of justice if the process was sabotaged. Paul Bianco, Hills Photographic Society.

Hub of concern

Spike in crime

AS ONE who participated in the recent Hub survey, I read with great interest the article ‘Hub on the Move’ (‘Mail’, 27 September). After a protracted period of delay, following

IN THE last few weeks, my office has had a dramatic increase in emails and calls regarding crime and community safety in Casey and Cardinia.

Face fire facts

Don’t net a bird

THE emotion shown by CFA volunteers (including myself) in response to the proposed Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) between the CFA and United Firefighters Union (UFU) is entirely understandable, given the EBA would fundamentally change the nature and effectiveness of a proud community safety organisation. The Country Fire Authority Act 1958 specifies that the CFA is a volunteer-based organisation. Over 97 per cent of CFA firefighters are volunteers who pursue trained, unpaid firefighting careers. The UFU (only established in 1990) represents the tiny minority of firefighters who follow firefighting as a paid career. In his letter, I am puzzled Geoff Champion (‘Champion of the UFU, ‘Mail’, 6 September) missed almost 50 clauses requiring UFU consent before CFA actions could be undertaken. UFU approval would be required to vary or do anything that “affects the work of career staff” (clause 45.1), including changes to clothing, equipment, technology or appliances (clause 90). Under clause 45.13, career firefighters would refuse to commence work until seven career staff were on scene, and (clause 36.4) paid firefighters would report only to other paid staff. Under clause 45.15, volunteers could not ride in the same vehicle as paid firefighters without career staff approval. These clauses treat volunteers as secondclass firefighters, regardless of their level of experience or local knowledge. The EBA is driven by the (Victorian) Premier’s (Daniel Andrews) desire to reward an ALP-affiliated union for actively supporting his election campaign. Former Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett was forced to resign and the CFA board was sacked for refusing to follow the dictatorial demands of the Premier. A union representing the private interests of three per cent of CFA firefighters should not be given a veto over any CFA decision. The UFU exists to further the pay and working conditions of its members, not to promote community safety or maximise the effectiveness of emergency services operations. Rob Pitcher, Gembrook.

WE'RE told that an alarming number of waterbirds at Emerald Lake have needed rescuing after becoming entangled in discarded fishing line. The entangled birds, which evaded capture or were not spotted, would have died horrible deaths (‘Birds line of death’, Mail, 20 September). Cardinia Shire’s Kevin Alexander said “this is very distressing and unnecessary". And he’s right. But there’s a simple solution. Ban fishing at the Emerald Lake. This beautiful park should be a sanctuary for all wildlife, not just birds. According to Dr Donald Broom, Professor of Animal Welfare at Cambridge University, “The scientific literature is quite clear. Anatomically, physiologically and biologically, the pain system in fish is virtually the same as in birds and mammals ... ” If it’s cruel to inflict suffering on birds, how can it not be cruel to inflict suffering on fish? Isn’t it time we all opened our eyes to cruelty of this so-called ‘sport?’ Jenny Moxham, Monbulk.

Coal in a hole

Air Conditioning & Radiators

With population growth and crime increasing about 12 per cent across the state, residents have a right to be concerned. This increase is not normal. The Andrews Labor Government has failed to act. In NSW, the crime rate is falling, while in Victoria police numbers are falling. There are actions the government can take to protect you and your family: * Increase police numbers; * Reintroduce the Liberals' tougher bail laws; * Support the Liberals' Car Jacking Bill; * Support the Liberals' No Body, No Parole Bill; and * Recommit the funding cut to Neighbourhood Watch. As long as Daniel Andrews fails to acknowledge there is a growing crime problem, he will fail to act. Casey and Cardinia families deserve a government that cares, listens and acts. Daniel Andrews and his local MPs have failed. Brad Battin, Member for Gembrook.

Our champion Lamby ONE of Monbulk’s most dedicated grassroots footy volunteers has been declared a Champion of the Code. Monbulk MP James Merlino nominated Danny Lamb, who is the Kilsyth Football Club Junior President, for an award at a special reception at Government House to pay tribute to the hard-working volunteers who make local footy tick. Mr Lamb was to join fellow Champions of the Code from all over Victoria to watch the 2016 AFL Grand Final Parade, before taking in the NAB AFL Under-18 All Stars Match at Punt Road Oval, and then lunch at one of the Grand Final pop-up restaurants. Mr Merlino said volunteers were the backbone of grassroots footy clubs. “We love our footy in Monbulk, and it’s people like Danny Lamb who make the game the great experience it is.”

Attitudes to tinnitus count THE ringing noise people experience in their ears after going to a concert or listening to loud music can be described as tinnitus. In some cases, tinnitus is only temporary and goes away given time. Yet for others, the ringing noise is constant and interferes with their ability to concentrate or hear actual sound. The majority of us will experience tinnitus at some point. It is not usually the presence of the tinnitus that is an issue, but rather how an individual thinks and feels about it. When tinnitus becomes problematic, sufferers often associate it with feelings of fear and anxiety leading to stress and frustration. Tinnitus can be caused by several factors, such as age-related hearing loss, exposure to loud noise or earwax blockage. You are not alone. Even though you might feel like you are the only one with tinnitus, you are not. In fact, many celebrities have suffered from tinnitus, too.

How do I manage tinnitus? Australian Hearing clinicians are experienced at providing a structured rehabilitation program and treatment pathway for people who suffer from tinnitus. Other helpful tips: Avoid silence. Keeping your ears busy with background noise, such as the television or radio, can help your brain focus on those sounds, instead of the ringing noise. Keep calm and relaxed. Tinnitus can be triggered by stress and tiredness, so activities like a massage or yoga can offer relief. Check your medications. Some medications can cause or worsen tinnitus, so it’s essential to tell your family doctor if you’re experiencing symptoms. Take special care with medications for arthritis, anti-depressants, rheumatic diseases and some antibiotics. Limit your caffeine. Consuming caffeine can temporarily worsen tinnitus for some people. So, what next? The first step is to identify what is causing tinnitus and, if necessary, take a hearing test.

· ·

Given the many options available to tinnitus sufferers, no-one should be told that ‘nothing can be done’ and we encourage all sufferers to contact Australian Hearing to book a consultation or for further information. Australian Hearing Croydon is running a tinnitus information session on Friday, 14 October; for those interested in finding out more information. Please contact (03) 9237 4100 to reserve your space today. If you are unable to attend the information sessions, please arrange a time to meet with audiologists at a time convenient. Australian Hearing is the nation’s leading hearing specialist and largest provider of government-funded hearing services. They are here to help all Australians manage their hearing health, ensuring that they stay connected with the world around them. Australian Hearing is located at 138-148 Main Street, Croydon; and 9 Castella Street, Lilydale. Call on (03) 9237 4100 or visit www.hearing.com.au.

Their feet just can’t be beat OUR feet and legs are vital for mobility, and if you suffer from foot, knee or leg pain it can limit the daily activities you enjoy. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Wantirna is one of Australia’s largest and most experienced musculoskeletal podiatry practices. The experts at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics said the most common concerns include knee pain, injuries and arthritis, heel, shin or forefoot pain, ankle and achilles concerns. You can be assured you will get to see a friendly and helpful professional, who is highly qualified to take care of your needs. Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, and it is important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics said traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases. “Foot and leg problems left

untreated tend to get worse, however most concerns can be addressed relatively easily and effectively with appropriate treatment,” experts at the Foot and Leg Pain Clinic said. “We’ll help you take a comprehensive approach to your healing and look past your surface symptoms to find the exact causes of your foot and leg problems.” Foot and Leg Pain Clinics take a holistic approach to healing, and look past your surface symptoms to find the cause of your foot and leg problems. “We can achieve the best possible outcomes for your overall health and healing,” they said. Don’t put up with the pain any longer, contact the Foot and Leg Pain Clinics to diagnose and treat it to get you out and enjoying everyday activities again. If you need assistance with foot or leg pain, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have 23 convenient clinic locations across Melbourne, including Wantirna.

What’s on the menu at Aurrum? FOOD Ambassador for Aurrum in Healesville, Karen Martini has developed some exciting new dishes for Aurrum’s aged-care residents. Ms Martini conducted a master class on Monday 26 September, with the head chef and kitchen team at Aurrum Healesville in Victoria. The team was trained on the preparation of the new menu items, which will be introduced at all Aurrum homes over the coming weeks. About 12 residents were then given the opportunity to sample some of the dieticianapproved dishes, including crispy potato rosti with horseradish, roast chicken noodle soup, roman semolina gnocchi, and apple and blackberry crumble. The dishes were well received by residents. Aurrum Chairman David Di Pilla said food is critical to residents’ satisfaction and enjoyment. “Meal times are often the highlight of the day for our residents - so it’s important that we offer interesting, tasty and wholesome meals,” Mr Di Pilla said. “The new selection of Karen Martini designed menu options combined with our broader menu will create a truly nutritious and gourmet food experience for our residents.” Aurrum aged care facilities have lush surroundings, and individualised care in a friendly and secure environment. You can guarantee at Aurrum, your family member will receive the highest quality of care, provided by highly trained and specialised staff, committed to provide exceptional clinical care. Aurrum provides 24-hour, seven days a week nursing care and also have a specialist cognitive and memory support unit. Their nutritious, home-style meals are freshly prepared in consultation with their head dietician and cooked on-site by an expe-

rienced team of chefs. Aurrum’s operating model is built on a philosophy of delivering clinical care excellence to residents while offering premium quality accommodation, lifestyle and dining experiences. For more information or inquiries, visit aurum.com.au or call 5962 6628.

Just some of the many delicious dishes.

WE’D LOVE YOUR SUPPORT - MICK HAS MOVED! After more than 10 years of selling real estate, it only seemed natural that the next step was for Mick Dolphin to run and manage his own real estate business. So Mick and his wife, Meaghan, can proudly say they have taken ownership of Ranges First National Real Estate which has been in its current location since 1973. We are really excited that we can join such a great established business with the most experienced agents in the hills! It will be ‘business as usual’ for Mick as he continues to sell houses in his current area of expertise from Menzies Creek through Emerald, Cockatoo, Macclesfield, Monbulk and Gembrook whilst Grant, Jim, Jan and Aidan will continue to do as they have always done offering great service in Belgrave and surrounding suburbs. We will be looking at expanding our rentals division as well - so if you are looking for a great deal with your rental property please give the office or Mick a call! As a celebration of new ownership, we are offering $250 towards ANY home improvements to anyone that lists and sells their home or recommends us to someone that subsequently lists and sells their home with Ranges First National from now until Christmas.

Can you run as fast as Thomas? By Peter Douglas THOMAS the Tank Engine is renowned for being friendly, but not so much for his speed. Though, this Sunday, 9 October, children aged between 3 and 12 can find out if they can run faster than the iconic locomotive. The Kids Fun Run with Thomas the Tank Engine is set to be held at Gembrook Station.

The fun will include the run for kids, showbags for runners, train rides on Thomas, market stalls, a petting zoo, jumping castles, a Thomas hunt, food and much more. As well as being a great day, the event is also an annual fundraiser organised by the Rotary Club of Emerald and District. This year, registration fees go towards helping to support the Cerebral Palsy Education

Centre (CPEC), which is the only centre of its kind in Australia that specialises in supporting children with cerebral palsy. So, join in the fun while supporting this worthy cause. Registration is $20 per child, with train rides on Thomas just $5. To register, visit www.kidsfunrunwiththomas.org.au.

Just one of the many inspiring sites at the Rhododendron Gardens. 159970

Spring into these gardens PARKS Victoria is encouraging garden-lovers to make the most of springtime in the Dandenong Ranges. Seven spectacular gardens are managed by Parks Victoria, with each featuring a distinctive gardening focus, set among the picturesque hills and views. The parks include the National Rhododendron Garden (Olinda), George Tindale Garden (Sherbrooke), Pirianda Garden (Olinda), Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden (Sherbrooke), William Ricketts Sanctuary (Mount Dandenong), R.J. Hamer Arboretum (Olinda) and the Mount Dandenong Arboretum (Mount Dandenong). Most gardens offer free entry and are open daily. Parks Victoria Area Chief Ranger, Helen Woodlock, said the gardens were a favourite destination among local, interstate and international visitors. “Visitors come from far and wide to see spectacular floral displays and the incredible setting of our gardens here in the Dandenong Ranges,” she said. “We know from research that time spent in parks is good for our physical, mental, social and spiritual health.

The children simply love trying to beat Thomas the Tank Engine. 159973

Storks’ promise delivered Storks (G) Starring Andy Samberg, Katie Crown and Kelsey Grammar STORKS is a surprisingly excellent animated comedy with a unique premise. Cornerstone, a corporation run by storks, once delivered babies, but is now a conventional postal service. When an engineering mishap creates the first baby in almost two decades, ambitious stork Junior (Andy Samberg) and plucky orphan employee Tulip (Katie Crown)

resolve to deliver this baby to its parents. Sausage Party is a fun vulgar time, but Storks is a much more wholesome and purposeful animated movie. Stork’s characters are all complex and endearing, with satisfying personal journeys and many heartwarming moments. The film subtly tackles loaded themes of respect, responsibility and parenthood while remaining laugh-out-loud funny, and the plot moves at a

rapid-fire pace while still being smooth and coherent. I found Storks to be superior to The Lego Movie, Warner Animation Group’s previous feature film, as the humour is more sophisticated and the jokes land far more reliably. Storks also isn’t afraid to get a little dark, but always to a degree young children can handle. Storks is a much-maligned animated movie that is more than worth your time. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Jean’s life of community OBITUARY LEAVING their new house in South Box Hill, and arriving at Yellingbo in March 1967 with their three children, Neville - as a farmer/electrical contractor, and Jean as a housewife - settled into the new community. Jean and Neville Sargeant quickly became involved in the community. Jean joined the Yellingbo Primary School Committee and served on that committee while all their children attended. She was nominated twice by the school for citizenship of the year to the Upper Yarra Shire for involvement on the committee for a long time, as well as dedication to teaching children to play tennis. Jean and Neville were both interested in playing tennis, so they became involved in the formation of the Yellingbo Tennis Club. This meant building new courts on land donated by the Parslow family. This was achieved with other members of the community who were interested in participating. Jean held various positions from secretary, to president, treasurer, tennis coach, grounds person - for 45 years. Also, she carried out maintenance until she was forced to retire because of her illness 18 months ago, but still managed her duties as Secretary Treasurer. Jean received a life membership from the former Upper Yarra District Tennis Association for involvement in the committee and promoting the game of tennis. Jean was also involved with the Yellingbo Progress Association, as a committee member and parttime secretary to Neville who was the official secretary/treasurer. Jean was member of the Yellingbo Rural Fire Brigade and held office as secretary for a short period of time and assisting Neville in his duties for 47 years. Neville was involved with the Woori Yallock junior and senior football club. Jean followed suit, as their son played junior and senior football, with Jean helping out at junior games and then involved in running the senior canteen for eight years. In her spare time, she would help with counter meals and social club fund-raising, organising a special training night and dinner with Tom Hafey. She was presented with a life membership for her tireless work for the club. Jean was involved with daughters Mandy and Bronwyn in their netball games at Woori Yallock, and Pony Club at Seville, spending many hours of transportation to different venues.

Jean was very interested in gardening and flowers, being a florist of course. In the early '90s, she became interested in growing lavender on the couple’s five-acre property at 40 Centre Road, Yellingbo. After harvesting the lavender, she would dry it in bunches and strip it to make dried lavender for the products she wanted to sell at the markets, which created great interest. She was often known as ‘lucyslavender’, or the ‘lavender lady’. In 1995, the Australian Lavender Growers’ Association was formed and Jean was a foundation member. She continued to be involved in this new industry, being appointed to the board as treasurer and handling their new venture in establishing Talga products trade-marked as the Sentimental Collection. In 2011, Jean was nominated as president and held this official position until the present time. She was rewarded with her tireless work over 20 years with the life membership presented to her at the 2015, 20-year conference at Ballarat - where it all started. She continued her hard work and interest in Talga, when she became sick until near the end. Jean was a partner with Neville in their electrical contracting and oil heating business, providing the necessary book-keeping for him. As they owned a shop in the Gainsborough Building Main Street, Warburton, Jean would attend during school hours to be on-hand to answer any inquiries about the supply and installation of oil heaters, as they were on display in the shop. This venture at this building was not only to promote their business, but rebuild a section that was marked for demolition by the Health Department, which meant the whole building would be demolished and this would be a loss of an historical landmark in Warburton. As they sold the building in 1985, it was continually restored, with added improvements by the new owners and still stands as a landmark. Jean was well-known to many people in the Yarra Valley for her pleasant personality. She enjoyed a chat and was always willing to start up a conversation with anyone involved in her or their common interests. Jean had a passion for doing things and loved caring for her family. Her hobbies including cooking, sewing and needlework, gardening, flower arrangements, and writing in her diary each day. She was a devoted and loving mother to her children. She was a credit as a volunteer to the local and Australian community. Jean passed away on 17 August, 2016.

Jean Sargeant led an active life within her beloved community. 160011

Vote is in the mail - well, mostly

Cr Terry Avery's Melba Ward will be uncontested at this year's election. 68599

THE Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) has reminded that voters should check the mail for their ballot packs for the Yarra Ranges Shire Council elections from later this week. Returning Officer for the elections, Peter Williams, is encouraging people to vote as early as possible. With the whole election being conducted by post, it’s incredibly important voters complete and re-

turn their ballot material as soon as possible to make sure their vote counts,” he said. Ballot papers must be posted or hand-delivered to the election office by 6pm on Friday, 21 October, or they cannot be counted. Voters who haven’t received their ballot pack by Wednesday, 12 October, should call 1300 589 389 during business hours to arrange a replacement. Candidates who have nominated

to stand for election are listed in the ballot packs and at vec.vic.gov.au/ YarraRangesElection/Candidates. Where provided by candidates, a photo and statement will be included. Voters can also view candidates’ answers to the candidate questionnaire online. Voting is compulsory for voters who were on the state roll for this election at 4pm on Friday, 26 August, 2016.

State-enrolled voters who don’t vote may be fined. Voters aged 70 years or older and council-enrolled voters are encouraged to vote, but will not be fined if they don’t vote. At the close of nominations, Melba Ward was uncontested. There will be no voting in this ward. An uncontested election leaflet will be mailed to affected voters instead of a ballot pack.

Stor y of the wet and dr y By Dennis Fuller AT Emerald Golf Club last Saturday morning, it was wet and dry. It was dry between the raindrops and wet under them, and as there were more raindrops that dry bits, all got wet when they set out to play three-man Ambrose. Steve Town, Peter Glasscock and Ross Martin, with a collective handicap of 6.5, turned in a masterly performance with their score of nett 57.5. All played well, but Glasscock’s hole in one on the 4th gave the score a real kick along.

Ken Sumsion, Peter Clowes and Dean Shannon came in next with 61 while Leigh Morison, Philip Crossley and John Keys came in next with 65 and a bit. Needless to say, it was Glasscock's nearest the pin on the 4th, Keys on the 7th, John Fisher, the 12th, Glasscock the 13th, Steve Town the pro pin, and just to prove that it was his day, Glasscock creamed a ripper down the 9th for the longest drive. On Wednesday when the OFG crew rolled in, it was announced that it was a stableford round, but because it was grand final week, each player was al-

lowed a free kick at the ball on every green. Because of this the scores were slightly north of high, John Piggott, who devised the game, made the most of it with a staggering 54 points to win. John Keys, who should kick for Australia, came in next with 53 while the rest continue to stub their toes in the grass and cry in disappointment. Next Saturday is the first round of the three-round club championship. There has been a certain amount of bragging about winning and an equal amount of laughing at those claims.
