Vaughan first became interested in big cat research during his time at Australia Zoo, where he worked with Bengal and Sumatran tigers, and even hand-raised cubs. “I’m certainly not the only person in Australia that’s doing this, but I’m making it my mission to prove it once and for all,” he said. “That’s why I’m here. You’ve got to go where the sightings are and two sightings in a week is pretty damning.”

Finally, Vaughan advised if you ever encounter a big cat, just “stand your ground”. “Don’t run; that’s the worst thing you can do. With predators, that just ignites the little instinct in their brain to start chasing,” he said. “There’s not been a documented attack to date. But if you see one, stay calm,” he said.

But at the same time, if someone looks me in the eye and tells me ‘I’ve seen a big cat’, I give them the benefit of the doubt,” he said. “I believe about 30 per cent might be misidentification for feral cats. But a big feral cat only gets up to about 20 kilograms. These cats start at 60 to 70 kilograms.”

Vaughan believes completely there are big cats in Australia, and has different theories about how this may have occurred. “One theory is they are escaped US mascots from the World War II era, when around one million US servicemen passed through Australian ports during the war,” he said. Also, Vaughan said he’s spoken with a former circus owner “who admitted to me that they had plenty of accidents over the years”. To help his research, Vaughan -

The Yarra Ranges is one of the “hottest” locations in Australia right now for big cat sightings, according to a pre-eminent investigator. After recent inquiries in Perth and Illawarra, former Australia Zoo big cat handler Vaughan King has made a beeline for the Yarra Ranges, which he will call home for a few months, to follow up on a spike in reports. Vaughan’s efforts follow on from a young Kalorama couple who late last year reported seeing two big cats near Maroondah Reservoir, as well as two reported sightings last week in the Toolangi State Forest. He said it was easy to envisage how big cats could not only survive, but thrive in the Yarra Ranges, where there have been numerous sightings reported since 2000. Such cases include at Cockatoo, Montrose, Upwey, Mount Dandenong, Seville, Warburton, Yarra Junction and Healesville. “Just according to recent activity, I’d say this is one of the biggest hotspots right now. If you go by not just what’s on my website, but word of mouth and what’s reported on internet forums,” he said. “I firmly believe we have three species (in Australia); the leopard, jaguar and cougar. “I’ve been through the Toolangi forest before, it’s amazing. “And those three species, in particular two are the most adaptive. The cougar is found in deserts and jungles of South America; while the leopard is found Asia, in 75 different countries, and is very adaptive.” During his time in the Yarra Ranges, Vaughan will take time to talk with sources, set up ‘camera traps’ and search for scratchings, footprints, carcasses or other evidence of big cat populations. Stories of big cat sightings in the Yarra Ranges are far from a new phenomenon, with one theory existing that a Monbulk man who owned a miniature zoo about 30 years ago released his animals into the bush. But Vaughan said he was devoting

Myra made her centur y A Family Tribute One of Wesburn’s most colourful residents, Myra Healey, has passed away just a few months after celebrating her 100th birthday. Myra was born in the back of Bowring’s grocery shop in Wentworth NSW, on Friday 3 November, 1916, and spent much of her life living in North Melbourne. From an early age, Myra had a penchant for helping others and at age 11 collected 30 shillings for the Shrine of Remembrance building fund. This was the start of her lifelong journey helping others in need of financial and indeed emotional care. Myra went on to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars by arranging dances to provide ‘Comfort Funds’ for World War II troops serving abroad, parties for the DOXA Foundation to help build holiday camps for disadvantaged children, local schools and churches, down-and-outers and for Vietnam Veterans’ Association Memorial, of which she is an Honorary Member. Arriving in Wesburn with her husband, Barney, more
than 40 years ago, Myra quickly made her presence felt after joining the Upper Yarra Valley RSL, where she arranged Christmas, Anzac Day, St Patrick’s Day and other festive luncheons and events she could conjure up. At age 98, Myra was the oldest and longest-serving president of any Legacy group in Australia. She continued to breathe life into the club, staging her memorable theatre productions of Dimboola, and William and Kate’s Royal Wedding - good enough to tour regionally, she said! One of her proudest moments was the construction and installation of the Lest We Forget illuminated cross that is a permanent fixture at the club. To find the $12,000 to create the cross, Myra sought the services of entertainers Russell Morris and Colleen Hewett and placed a story in the ‘Herald Sun’ looking for someone to build the cross to her design. In 1996, Myra made her own decision to hand in her driving licence and part with her three-ton 1972 V8 Red
Myra loved to entertain. 167218 Rover car, citing that she did not want to take any chances that she might put herself or others at risk. In the same year, Myra was adamant that the RSL club have a new Legacy flag after the old flag was stolen 18 months earlier. Her dogged determination saw her wish realised, and the new flag was unveiled at a
special ceremony at the RSL club some months later. Recently, Myra, whose Wesburn home is named Lone Pine, bought a small pine tree that was grown from an original Gallipoli pine and planned to have it planted at her RSL club. Myra passed away on 4 April, 2017.

Council meets in the colonies, with 40 visitors Around 40 Yarra Ranges residents took advantage of Yarra Ranges Council’s first outreach council meeting held at The Memo in Healesville on 26 April. The majority, almost unanimously, were Healesville residents, and the theme of the agenda was unsurprisingly a little Healesville-centric. The Aldi supermarket application was the ‘drawcard’ event, but Ryrie Ward Councillor Fiona McAllister and Mayor Noel Cliff, whose initiative it is to run a number of council meetings in the ‘colonies’, gave the locals an opportunity to showcase their concerns, and their achievements. HICSA (Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association) Executive Officer, Anne Jenkins, started the meeting with an acknowledgement of Wurundjeri land and later gave a report on the work of the organisation. Questions related to two is-
sues that are prominent in the town - the Healesville Gateway or ‘old sawmill’ development and the prospects of an aquatic centre. In response to her question on conditions attached to the Gateway site, Mrs Annette Hill was assured that under a new application for a service station on the Healesville entrance the applicants are ‘committed to honouring all the conditions’. “This application is separate from the main development for procedural simplicity,� she was told. Graham Chester asked about progress on a new aquatic centre. He was told that two existing indoor and outdoor pools were reaching the end of their lives and that a review of council swimming pools was being undertaken. Discussions over coming months are expected to lead to completion of the council’s swimming pool plan. Concerns about the pro-

Conditional nod to Aldi development By Kath Gannaway Aldi Stores have been given the go ahead to build a new supermarket in Healesville, but with stringent conditions attached. Aldi will need to find a way to reduce the overall height of the building from 7.42metres to 7metres along the Maroondah Highway frontage and from 11.26metres to 9.6 metres along Church and River streets frontages. Other conditions introduced in an alternate motion by Cr Fiona McAllister at the Yarra Ranges Council meeting on Tuesday, 26 April, were around aesthetic finishes and landscaping. In all, there were 22 conditions attached, a number of them addressing issues raised at a community consultation meeting in February, and in written submissions by objectors. There were 13 formal objections to the proposed plan. Councillors heard from local residents Stuart and Elaine Truman, an architect, speaking on behalf of objectors. Ms Truman described the building as “absolutely massive” and said that on scale and height 65 per cent
of the proposed building exceeds the Design and Development Overlay on the site. They said a requirement for ‘active shop fronts’ was not met in the design with the front windows looking into an access ramp against a blank wall, and called for stronger graphics along the lines those featured on the Innocent Bystander and Giant Steps buildings. They called for the use of more natural materials to offset the high percentage of concrete , increased landscaping, and the continuation of Healesville’s iconic lamps along the front of the store. And, they warned that allowing Aldi to exceeding the maximum height recommendations could set a precedent in the town. Town Planner Colleen Peterson from Ratio Consultants represented Aldi and said the height of the building was a response to the slope of the land and functional imperatives such as refrigeration equipment and floor to ceiling heights in the store. “Aldi has a much smaller footprint (than other supermarkets) and the consequence of fitting in the supermarket and getting the required number of car parking spaces means the only place the plant and equip-
ment can go is on the roof,” she said. Responding to concerns about a lack of an active shop front, Ms Peterson said, “There will be pedestrians, sales packing activity ... there will be direct eye contact into the supermarket.” “These plans represent positive changes as a result of consultation and they represent a vibrant and attractive addition to the Healesville township,” she said. Cr Heenan said he was unhappy that the councillors were being asked to make decisions without access to all the plans and with no resolution of the opposing information being presented. “We are sitting here horse-trading about certain things, we have people answering questions from the gallery, and I’m not happy that we can’t look at plans that the town planner has in front of her,” he said. Crs Avery and Cox called for the matter to be deferred. Cr Avery said Aldi should have the opportunity to look at what was being proposed given “ ... these (conditions) have been sprung on them in the last 20 minutes.” Cr Cox said redesigning the application ‘on the run’ was not the answer.
“It appears that some of the objectors didn’t see the final plans until a few days ago, and that’s too brief a time for them to be able to comment on it.” Cr McAllister defended her motion saying, council had been looking at the Aldi application for many months and that there had been a lot of community interest and opportunities for community participation. “I’ve gone through these plans with a fine tooth comb and there are things that concern me,” she said. “Do I really want to have a building with those heights ... I don’t; but ultimately it’s the towers that are the sticking point and that’s why we’re reducing the height, so you don’t have 12 metre towers. Aldi is considering its options. An Aldi spokesperson told the Mail on Friday that they are looking forward to coming to Healesville, and said they were pleased the council had issued a notice of decision. “We will take planning conditions into consideration and determine the impact that these will have on our overall design. He said they would update the community as developments progressed.
Briefly Car roll in Yarra Glen On Wednesday 26 April, a vehicle travelling southbound along Melba Highway lost control and rolled onto its roof. Two adults and two children were in the car, and Emergency services said the situation might have ended much worse had the occupants not worn their seatbelts. The vehicle is believed to have lost control around 9am in the morning just outside Yarrawood Estate. Yarra Glen CFA, Dixons Creek CFA, SES services, Victoria Police, and Ambulance Victoria attended the crash scene. The occupants were assessed by the paramedics, but no injuries were reported. Yarra Glen CFA Captain Bill Boyd said it was lucky the occupants were wearing seatbelts as otherwise the situation could have been much worse. “Luckily, all occupants were wearing seatbelts and everyone involved in the incident was able to walk away which is always a good outcome,” Captain Boyd said.
Spate of car break-ins in Healesville A recent spate of cars break-ins along the southern end of Healesville has prompted a response from police. Lilydale Senior Detective Ian Brown urged residents to lock their cars and to take any expensive or significant items out of their vehicles if they are parked on the street. “They’ll drive past use a torch to look in the car; if there’s something there they stop and if the cars are open, then it just makes it easier for them to go undetected. “Don’t leave things on display for them to steal, and make sure to lock your vehicles,” Senior Detective Brown said. Various cars were broken into over the weekend, 28 April to 30 April and anyone with information should contact Lilydale police on 9739 2300.
Healing care, pain relief May 12 is internationally recognised as the day when the work of nurses is celebrated around the world and coincides with the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale - the founder of modern nursing. Each year the International Council of Nurses identifies a theme which in 2017 is; ‘Nurses: a voice to lead.’ One such voice that is certainly part of this theme is Sharon Matthews, Toolangi resident and nurse at Healesville Hospital. Sharon has worked at the hospital since 1995 and first started as a midwife. Since then, she has undertaken nursing jobs that have seen her travel across the state, but she has always come back to the community hospital that she loves. During the Healesville Hos-
pital's redevelopment, Sharon undertook nursing and midwifery roles across the country, in Darwin, Kununurra, Burnie in Tasmania, Kingaroy in Queensland and Mildura. Sharon told the Mail that working in so many different rural places was an incredible learning curve that improved her knowledge and skills, but said she still called Healesville Hospital home. “I love the sort of nursing that we do here, and I like actually working for the local community. I think we have a really good set-up and we do a great job of providing quality care to people, and there’s a great team atmosphere here, and it’s a really good place to work,” she said. While in Darwin and Kununurra, a lot of the cases she attended to were in relation to various tropical diseases that were extremely prevalent in the

temperate weather. The life of a nurse or midwife is constantly changing; they help people and see various different cases each day, and it is this aspect that Sharon said she loved, the changeable dynamic where, ‘no two days are the same.’ “You’re helping people and you have such a big impact on people’s lives, I like the mix of the caring and then the science, the knowing and the doing, and the fact that there’s so much variety - no two days are ever the same,” she said. As for why she returned to Healesville Hospital after travelling the state, Sharon simply states that Healesville is good for the soul “At the hospital, we can open the windows and have fresh air come in for the patients, and you can look out at the mountains ... it’s good for the soul.”

Crumbz, look at who's crafting for a cause ... Ivy and Olive, Shara Lambeth, Alison Boyd, Picture: ROB CAREW Katie Hooper, Scott Howard and Kay Trembath. 167486
Ladies loving a good yarn By Kath Gannaway Getting together to ‘yarn’ for fun is something Kay Trembath of Crumbz Craft in Healesville does every day, but once a year, she and her community of craftspeople put in a marathon effort for a chosen charity. This year it’s the Foster Care Association of Victoria (FCAV). The Crumbz craftspeople will be raising funds for FCAV’s foster carers with a sponsored Yarn-a-Thon throughout May, including a 31-hour overnight, non-stop Yarn-a-Thon at Crumbz on the Mother’s Day week-
end - 13 and 14 May. Crafters will be sponsored by the hour or by the item as they knit and crochet scarves, mitts and beanies. Kay said that over the years the group had got to know more about FCAV and the essential work it did to support carers of children at risk through the involvement of one of their regular customers, Katie Hooper, CEO of FCAV. “Katie herself provides emergency and respite foster care and often brings her children into the shop,” Kay said. “We’re really excited at the

Give us a hand, possum By Kath Gannaway Environment group, Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum, is calling on the Victorian Minister for the Environment to step in with urgent action to protect the future of the critically endangered faunal emblem. FLP president Steve Meacher said the failure to achieve a recovery plan under the Federal Government, along with the stalling of the Victorian Government’s taskforce aimed at getting consensus on supporting the possum and sustaining the timber industry, has forced their hand. Lawyers for Environmental Justice Australia sent a letter to Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio on 24 April on behalf of FLP requesting an interim conservation order to protect critical habitat of the possum. The letter cites the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1998 (Vic) as the means by which the order would be put in place. Mr Meacher said it was two years since the Federal Minister Greg Hunt announced he had accepted the Threatened Species Scientific Committee’s (TSSC) advice to uplist the possum to Critically Endangered. The Recovery Plan that the
TSSC recommended be updated called for a halt to timber harvesting in the montane ash forests of Central Highlands as the most effective way to prevent decline and rebuild the Leadbeater’s numbers. Mr Meacher said that plan, due mid last year, had not eventuated and that logging had continued. “Although we understand it was finalised in December, it has still not been released by the Federal Environment Minister, Josh Frydenberg, and so we’re calling on the Victorian Minister to take the action that is available to her under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act and put the order in place to protect critical habitat. “In these circumstances, Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum can no longer stand back and wait while the possum is logged out of existence,” he said. “With a significant area of critical habitat effectively protected, it will be possible to properly consider other complex issues facing the government in managing public forests, including maintaining the state’s timber industries and the creation of new economic opportunities for regional areas through declaration of a Great Forest National Park.”

Rotary’s saving lives By Kath Gannaway Everyone loves cheap insurance, and while in the usual sense Rotary clubs are not in the insurance game, they are happy to take on that role when it comes to the early detection of bowel cancer. Rotary clubs, in conjunction with local pharmacies, have been making Bowelscan bowel cancer screening tests available in their communities for a number of years and the program is again operating throughout May. At $10 for the Bowelscan testing kit, it is cheap life insurance. District organiser, Healesville Rotary Club member and former GP, Dr Ian Tinney, recommends a yearly scan to detect potential signs of cancer for everyone over 50 years of age. Over the years the tests have turned up positive results, leading people to seek further medical attention.

“There is no doubt early detection saves lives,” he said. Bowelscan is a self-testing kit using stool samples taken over four days and is available at pharmacies in Warburton, Yarra Junction, Woori Yallock, Wandin, Seville and Healesville, along with other pharmacies around Yarra Ranges. The good news is that the test is now much easier to do and there is no requirement to go on a special diet beforehand. Another change is that the kit is returned directly to the pathology organisation, so no need to take it in to the pharmacy. Call in to your local pharmacy during May to find out whether they are part of the Rotary Bowelscan program. For more information on bowel cancer, visit bowelcanceraustralia. org.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian, 1 May, 1937 In Case You Didn’t Know Anzac Day was fittingly observed at Healesville on Sunday when under the auspices of the local sub-branch RSSILA a commemorative service was held in the memorial hall in the morning at which hymns were sung. Appropriate addresses were given by Rev. McKissock of the Presbyterian Church, Mr McCraw of the Methodist Church and a Salvation Army Lieutenant. Many beautiful wreaths were laid before the Roll of Honor (sic) in the foyer while the flag and pennant ‘Lest We Forget’ were hung at half-mast from the flagpole.
The school committee and mothers’ club are arranging a fitting celebration of Coronation Day at the school. During the week the shire council has erected school safety signs on each approach to the school. Upper Yarra Mail, 4 May 1995 Commissioners take a walk in Warburton Yarra Ranges Shire Commissioners, Wal Elms and Christine Fyffe, and interim Parks and Gardens Manager, Jos Duivenvoorden, visited Warburton on Tuesday. The commissioners and Mr Duivenvoorden visited at the invitation of the Warburton Advancement League to inspect works undertaken by the league and in response to a request for help
in maintaining the beautiful Yarra River Walks. Farewell and so long Annie O’Keefe At a sprightly 83 years old, and after 75 years living in the district, well-known local Annie O’Keefe is moving to a new home. She lays claim to be the first student enrolled at the Launching Place Primary School back in the early 1920s. Her first job was in the original Launching Place Hotel which was a hotel, post office and general store. On any Saturday, Annie would sell 100 loaves of bread to the hungry locals. And the visitors they’d come in droves on the train and pitch tents on the banks of the Yarra to spend a couple of days fishing. - contributed by Ellena Biggs
Letters Could have been worse I comment in regards to Doseena Fergie’s statement, while accepting her Australia Day Award from Yarra Ranges Council (‘Mail’, 4 April). Ms Fergie was quoted in the article as saying, “I was reluctant to say ‘yes’, because January 26th is a day I consider to be invasion day. A day of survival for our people. Not a day of celebration”. I suggest it was, in hindsight, a day of celebration of our Indigenous people. My reasoning behind that comment is simple: it was totally predictable that some race of people were going to land on Australia and claim sovereignty. When one considers the Dutch, Spanish and French all landed on Australian shores - and later on the Japanese - I consider the Aboriginal people should appreciate more the fact the English landed and were the first to claim sovereignty. So, I ask Doseena, as I have asked other Indigenous people - without getting an answer - “What country of the aforementioned people would you have chosen over the English and the reason why?” On reading early history, Doseena, the average age of Aboriginal people was around 35 years and they also had massive problems in tribal disputes. The last three funerals of Aboriginal men I have attended were all over 70 years old. Raymond Donkin, Healesville.
Anzac thanks I would like to say a big ‘thankyou’ to the staff of the Old Bullock Dray Cafe Bar and Grill, Dr. I. Tinney, St John Ambulance crew and other medical staff for their help and support on Anzac Day in Healesville when my wife collapsed. I cannot thank you all enough. Darren Macdonald-Johnson, Badger Creek.

Help improve Yarra By Derek Schlennstedt This weekend on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 May a Yarra 4 Life program will see 20,000 local indigenous trees, shrubs and grasses planted at Corranderk. The planting is part of the Yarra4life program that focuses on creating and extending habitat for the helmeted honeyeater and Leadbeater’s possum. Tony D’Abbs organiser of the event said the importance of revegetating this area was paramount to the survival of endangered species such as the helmeted honeyeater and the Leadbeater’s possum. “It is very important because the habitat is limited and it’s disjointed, and so the initiative is to expand and also link the habitat,” and the sanctuary is the lead agency on the project. “We received funding to plant 20,000 indigenous trees and shrubs which will help extend and provide habitat for the helmeted honeyeater and the Leadbeater’s possum, and we’re not there to exploit the land but to work with the land,” Mr D’Abbs said. Everyone and anyone is welcome to come along on the day and get involved.
20,000 local indigenous trees, shrubs and grasses will be planted at Corranderk to help expand habitat for the Leadbeater's possum and helmeted honeyeater. 167811 The planting will take place on Saturday 6, and Sunday 7 May at Coranderrk, 19 Barak Lane, Healesville, begining at 9.30am and running until 3.30pm each day- attendees can choose how many hours they are able to do. There will be another opportunity to plant for
a cause on Sunday 21 May when Mount Toolbewong and District Landcare has its annual Mother’s Day Plant Out revegetating land along Badger Creek, just upstream from Healesville Sanctuary. RSVP to Karen at toolebewonglandcare@gmail.com.
Fire risk sits on the table for the day By Derek Schlennstedt Healesville and the surrounding communities are considered some of the highest bushfire risk communities in Victoria, and on 15 May, DELWP, CFA, Victoria Police and Yarra Ranges Council will be working together with communities to better plan and manage bushfires. The event will be a free discussion-based meeting which will include a visual demonstration of a simulated fire impacting into the Healesville area. The meeting will act as an opportunity for residents to view how a fire will impact on them and will be able to raise question and give feedback
about what aspects are important to them. Tammy Garrett, manager of community safety for CFA district 13, said the meeting would help residents as well as emergency services understand what was important to locals living in that area and any suggestions they might have. “Victoria Police, Yarra Ranges Council, DELWP, Parks Victoria we are all looking how we can co-ordinate our resources to reduce the fuel and risk within communities. “We can go to the best places to reduce fuel reduction, but are there certain locations where the communities want us to do those, are we hitting the mark? Is there something we are overlooking that we need to redirect our attention to?” she said.
Using the Phoenix rapid-fire model, a simulation will be presented on an average summer day, to view how the fire will move through the area, and which areas it will affect. “Fires can happen on any day, so we’re going to put a scenario on a more regular summer day of a fire occurring in Healesville area and watch it progress over the two-hour session,” Ms Garrett said said. The discussion-based scenario will be held on 15 May, with an afternoon session from 12.30pm to 3pm and an evening session from 6.30pm to 9pm. Refreshments will be available. For more information, contact Joy Harte on 5965 9923.
Positive response to survey on plan By Kath Gannaway A community survey attracting more than 1600 responses has informed Murrindindi’s Draft Council Plan for the next four years. Listening more to the community and making council easier to do business with are just two of the key messages in council’s new plan for its fouryear term, according to mayor Charlie Bisset. The Draft Council Plan 2017-2021, and 20172018 Draft Budget released last week follow what council described as an “extensive “Have Your Say” community survey”. “We are really excited so many people have taken the time to be a part of the conversation and provide their views about what they like about the Shire and what is needed to ensure our communities thrive,” said Cr Bisset. “This information has helped us develop a plan which we feel respects the values, needs and aspirations of our diverse communities across the shire, while ensuring we do the best with our limited resources,” she said. She said the plan was based on four priority areas - Our People, which focuses on strengthening community participation and involvement; Our Place, which focuses on enhancing the liveability of the shire; Our Prosperity which focuses on building economic opportunities and Our Promise which outlines council’s undertaking to be responsive and accountable to the community. “We know our community has had concerns about the level of rate increases in recent years and our Plan has been developed with a view to keeping future rate increases within reasonable limits.” The draft 2017/2018 Annual Budget is now on exhibition and includes an annual average rate increase of 2 per cent which is in line with the cap set on rate increases by the State Government. The plan, however, includes a temporary freeze on rate rises for commercial and industrial ratepayers in response to a focus on economic activity and business development. The draft Council Plan 2017-2021 and Annual Budget 2017-2018 are on public display and on the council website with comments requested by 1 June.

$20,000 from metal’s mettle By Kath Gannaway The Wandin Custom Car and Bike Show has once again punched above its weight, donating $20,000 to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. The Rotary Club of Wandin has run the show for the past couple of years, putting on six car shows at the Wandin East Recreation Reserve from October through to March. A highlight of this year’s series was the visit of motoring legends Dick Johnson and his son
Steve Johnson, along with local V8 Supercars driver Dale Wood. Wandin Rotary Club’s chair of the car show committee, Mark Southall said the show had attracted around 30,000 visits with some 4000 vehicles on display. The show is very much a community event with strong support from 18 sponsors whose contribution offsets the overheads of running the event, allowing Rotary to make such a significant donation to the Good Friday Appeal. Local community groups also benefit with Wandin CFA, St Mary’s School
from Mt Evelyn, Wandin Yallock and Wandin North primary schools providing a great choice of food and beverages at each show towards their fundraising efforts. “It was a very special feeling to ring the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal donations line with the exciting news that we were donating $20,000,” Mr Southall said. “We would like to sincerely thank all the exhibitors and spectators who made this possible.”

Hands are going up to HelpOUT By Kath Gannaway
I play the pokies a fair bit, but it’s not really a habit.
Yet ...
Help your community recover from disaster with HelpOUT. Yarra Ranges residents are being asked to put their hands up and help their communities in an emergency, by registering as a volunteer for HelpOUT, and Yarra Ranges Council is offering training. The year-round service run by Volunteering Victoria provides an opportunity for people to register and identify their skills and availability to help disaster-affected communities. Volunteers co-ordinated through HelpOUT assisted across the shire following the large storm in October last year. O’Shannassy Ward Councillor, Jim Child said having more volunteers at the ready would help communities to recover quickly from disasters, such as last year’s storm. Cr Child said recovering from a disaster could take a long time and a lot of hard work from people in the community. “This is something we saw first-hand last year. “So many people in our communities have skills that would be valuable in preventing or recovering from a disaster,” Cr Child said. Yarra Ranges Council is offering free training and support to people signing up to HelpOUT over National Volunteer Week - Monday 8 to Sunday 14 May - to help prepare them for the next emergency. Torches and handouts will also be available at Community Links during the week. Sign up now and help your community by visiting yarraranges.vic.gov.au/helpout or by calling 1300 368 333.

Warburton RSL will receive a $4000 grant from Labor Upper House Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes. The grant was announced as part of the Commemoration and Education Grant Program and provides funding for projects which honour or commemorate the service and sacrifice of veterans and educate Victorians about the contribution made by Australia's veterans in their service to the nation and the state. Ms Symes announced the Commemoration and Education Grant Program on 24 April. It is aimed at helping Warburton RSL provide Grade 6 primary school students from four local schools with study tours In previous years the Warburton RSL has run various programs with the local schools including trips to both the Vietnam memorial and the tank museum at Seymour. Ms Symes said it was important to commemorate and teach younger generations about Australia’s proud war history and commemorate veterans who fought in them. “Victoria has a proud wartime history, and it’s important that our younger generations learn about the brave men and women who served our country. “Victorians should commemorate the brave sacrifice of our servicemen and women every day and I am pleased that the Warburton RSL Subbranch has thought outside the square.”

Street parade for veterans By Kath Gannaway Hundreds of people defied a cold and wet Anzac Day across the Yarra Valley, gathering at dawn services in Yarra Junction, Healesville and Millgrove, and joining returned servicemen and women for the traditional marches and services at local cenotaphs. People lined the main streets in Marysville, Healesville, Warburton, Yarra Glen and Yarra Junction to applaud returned service personnel from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and Afghanistan who headed up the marches. Family members proudly wore the medals of family members, men and women, who served their country in the fields of war around the world. The Seville and Wandin communities paid their respects at the Wandin Rotary Club service at the Wandin Yallock Memorial. Community, emergency and sporting groups, along with students from almost every local school played a role in the honouring of local men and women who left, and who still leave, their small communities for military operations at home and abroad. On the day, and into the weekend just gone, local football clubs lined up for The Ode before heading out on to the ground for the Aussie Rules Anzac Day clashes that have become an integral part of the commemoration.

Every dental need covered From the little people right through to the grandparents, Yarra Valley Dental is a source of education, support and treatment for every dental need. Opening its doors in January 2017, Yarra Valley Dental consists of an intimate and experienced team, led by director Dr Kathleen Walsh. With over 20 years of general practice experience in the private and public sectors, Dr Walsh opened her Yarra Glen dentist after noticing a lack of dentistry facilities in her town. “After living here 15 years, I decided Yarra Glen really needed a local dentist as they have always had to travel,” Dr Walsh explained. “I felt that someone who had lived in the town was the best person for the job, so I took it on.” With interests including pain management, root canal therapy, as well as preventive and cosmetic dentistry, Dr Walsh admits that the process of treating a patient from first identifying their problem, through to sending the patient away comfortably, is what consistently keeps her engaged in the dentistry profession. “My staff and I strive to care for the whole person, not just their teeth. “We also focus on high quality treatment which comes from an accurate diagnosis. “Our aim is to give our patients treatment options and to quote for all treatment at the start,” Dr Walsh explained. “We empower the patient to make their own treatment decisions through education and advice and provide treatment that is efficient, cost effec-

EVERY HOME AN INVESTMENT INTO THE COMMUNITY BENDIGO Bank has been in the business of helping people buy their homes for more than 150 years, so even though purchasing and financing a home can be daunting, the managers and staff at your local Bendigo Community Bank Branch can help you with a comprehensive range of home loan options, competitive interest rates and all the advice you need to purchase your home. The Yarra Valley group of Bendigo Community Bank Branches at Healesville, Warburton, Yarra Junction, Woori Yallock and Wandin, have experienced managers who will go the extra mile to ensure that you find the loan that is right for you. Healesville manager Mark Trafford said getting a home loan right is about building a relationship. “Your home loan is likely to be the biggest investment decision you ever make, so it pays to look to a trusted financial partner for a home loan that will suit your needs now, and in the future,” Mr Trafford said. But, for Mark, who joined the Healesville Community Bank Branch in December, banking with a Bendigo Community Bank has benefits that go even further than the individual. “When you choose to be a Bendigo Bank customer you not only make a decision that benefits you, you make one that also benefits your community,” he said. “I’ve had the pleasure of attending some great community events sponsored by our bank branch here in Healesville and you get to see, and enjoy, first-hand the return to the local community that
Bendigo Bank, from left: Cheryl, Mark, Shelli and Rebecca. 167695 comes with that sort of community investment.” With every home or personal loan, every savings or investment account and every product or service Bendigo offers, part of the profits go back into the local
community to support local projects, groups and organisations. It’s not a new concept. It means that as a customer you not only benefit from a great range of competitive products and the
friendly service Bendigo Banks are so well known for, you also get a sense of satisfaction knowing your banking is contributing to your community. Drop into a local branch and
find out how a Bendigo Bank home loan can assist in achieving that all important goal of home ownership. There’s never been a better time to make the leap to home ownership.

Tears, tragedy, a triumph By Derek Schlennstedt Created 20 years ago and still relevant today, Yarra Valley residents have the opportunity to see a new adaptation of one of Australia’s most important plays “Seven Stages of Grieving”. Funny, devastatingly sad, and as relevant as ever, the play traverses the phases of Aboriginal history, inviting audiences to face hard truths, join hands and grieve together. Playing in Healesville at The Memo on 10 May, the Seven Stages of Grieving is a wise and powerful play that tells the story about the grief of Aboriginal people and the hope of reconciliation. The young and extremely talented Chenoa Deemal weaves poignant stories of different people from different mobs tear-streaked tales of tragedy go hand-inhand with jubilant celebrations of simple survival. The production tells the stories of seven different aspects of grief; encompassing family funerals, black displacement, the impact of European wars and other stories. A topic that many people can relate to, Chenoa said that grief was universal and something that everyone had experienced in some form.
“Grief is universal and so that’s what people can relate to, stories about family, about the character's father, those are things people can relate to and these types of grief are not just exclusive to Aboriginal people, everyone knows grief,” she said. Equal parts funny and sorrowful, the original script pennned by Wesley Enoch and Deborah Mailman, has been skilfully updated to reflect today’s political climate, including current political references to make it relevant to a contemporary audience. Design elements throughout the production include various paraphernalia that relate to Chenoa’s youth - coloured sand from her traditional land in Hopevale Queensland are part of the props used and tropical forest sound effects are reminiscent of the deep green rainforests of Cairns, where Jason Klarwein, the director is from. Chenoa hasn’t visited the Yarra Valley before, but said she looked forward to exploring the area. Seven Stages of Grieving will play at the Healesville Memo on 10 May, with performances starting at 11am and 7.30pm. Bookings on 1300 368 333.

Guardians lift their game Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2 (M) Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoey Saldana and Kurt Russell Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2 is an exhilarating ride with plenty of heart. When galactic hero Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finally meets his long-lost father, the god-like Celestial known as Ego (Kurt Russell), Peter and his motley crew discover a scheme that threatens countless planets throughout the galaxy. Volume 2 does a highly commendable job of recognising its predecessor’s weaknesses and overcoming them.
In the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, the crackling chemistry between the leads plays out against a weak, poorly-defined external conflict of a Kree warlord attacking the planet Xandar. But in Volume 2, writer-director James Gunn wisely builds much of the conflict from the engaging personal relationships. Volume 2 grounds its interplanetary drama with a very intimate, personal focus. The film’s myriad of character dynamics, including Peter’s growing bond with Ego, Peter mending things with his adoptive father Yondu (Michael Rooker) and Gamora’s (Zoe
Saldana) tense relationship with her estranged homicidal sister Nebula (Karen Gillan), all share the common stage of Ego’s planet and develop gratifying themes of respect and family. The irreverent humour is much cleverer this time around, and the visuals are stunningly rich and colourful. The only significant flaws are the contrived opening and the somewhat indistinct action scenes. With Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2, Marvel Studios has provided yet another sequel that surpasses the first film. - Seth Hynes

Round 3 full of surprises By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Round 3 had some surprise wins - and big wins in both football and netball. The winners in senior football: Mount Evelyn, Upwey-Tecoma, Olinda Ferny Creek, Wandin, Woori Yallock, Kinglake, Powelltown, Yarra Glen and Alexandra. A Grade Netball Winners: Mount Evelyn, Olinda Ferny Creek, Wandin, Warburton-Millgrove, Woori Yallock, Kinglake, Powelltown, Yarra Glen and Yarra Junction. Next week sees a top-of-the-table clash Woori Yallock and Olinda in Division 1 Football, while in Division 2 Yarra Glen and Yea will play for the Pride Cup on Sunday 7 May at Yarra Glen. A reminder that all senior football results are available on the new Resultsvault app. DIVISION 1 SENIORS FOOTBALL Mount Evelyn 17.11(113) d Emerald 12.11(83) Emerald played host to Mount Evelyn and suffered their first defeat while Mount Evelyn notched up their first win for the season. Mount Evelyn got off to a great start, kicking 4.6 to 0.2 and had a healthy lead of 28 points going into the second. Unfortunately for Emerald, Mount Evelyn had their kicking boots on in the second and kicked 8.3 to 3.3 to take a lead of 58 points into half-time. Emerald found it too hard to cover the spread of 10 goal-kickers from Mount Evelyn. They fought back in the last, holding Mount Evelyn goalless, but their six-goal run came too late and Mount Evelyn got home by 30 points. Mount Evelyn Best: A. Murray, J. Griffiths, A. Chalkley, B. Forbes, T. Chalkley (1 goal), C. Urquhart (2 goals). Emerald Best: L. Sheppard (1 goal), M. Dompietro (1 goal), P. White (1 goal), D. Volta, J. Bishop, B. Moloney (1 goal). Upwey-Tecoma 15.16(106) d Warburton Millgrove 7.14(56) Upwey have chalked up their first win at the expense of Warburton Millgrove, which now share the bottom of the ladder with Monbulk and Gembrook. Upwey-Tecoma got out to a 15-point lead at quarter time and were never headed. Both sides kicked four goals in the second and the lead was 17-points at half-time; and Upwey would have been feeling reasonably happy with their performance so far. Indirect kicking in the third, 3.7 to be exact, made the scoreboard look better for Warburton, but Upwey had full control of this game. Accuracy improved in the last and they kicked away with a 5.3 to 2.4 last quarter and a win by 50 points. Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Tailby, B. Duncan (1 goal), L. Hughes, L. O’Brien (1 goal), L. Burke (1 goal), D. Devers (1 goal). Warburton Millgrove Best: T. McKail, C. Reiffel, J. Walker (3 goals), L. Barnard, J. Mullan (1 goal), J. Blake. Olinda Ferny Creek 9.14(68) d Healesville 4.13(37) Healesville have dropped to fourth, while Olinda maintain their undefeated status in a lowscoring affair on Saturday. Olinda kicked 3.3 to 1.4 in the first and had a lead of 11 points at quarter time. Healesville could not get any forward play in the second and only managed to get three behinds to Olinda’s 3.5. The lead was starting to blow out and Healesville would need to show that fighting spirit, if they were going to come back in the third. Olinda’s defence played another amazing quarter of football, holding Healesville goalless again and took a comfortable lead of 39 points into the final term. Healesville showed some fightback in the last, kicking 3.2 to 1.6, but it was just junk time goals in the end. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: C. Beattie, J. Charge, K. Currie, L. Hill, L. Taylor (4 goals), M. Wright. Healesville Best: C. Adams, A. Davies, A. Fraraccio, T. Costigan, L. Daly, M. Anson. Wandin 31.20(206) d Gembrook-Cockatoo 5.10(40)
Healesville found the going tough against undefeated Olinda Ferny Creek. 167803 Wandin had a day out against Gembrook and never showed them any mercy all day. Gembrook started fine and Wandin only had a lead of 20-points at quarter time, but that is where any chance for Gembrook went by the wayside. Wandin kicked 9.4 to 0.3 in the second and, at the main break, had broken out to a 74-point halftime lead. The third quarter was even, with Gembrook kicking 2.5 to 3.6, but it all was one way in the last as Wandin just had a field day in front of goal, kicking 14 goals to 1 in the last to come away with a very big win. Wandin Best: S. Dwyer (13 goals), M. Polkinghorne (6 goals), R. Ross (2 goals), H. Dudink, N. Molnar (1 goal), B. Harvey (2 goals). Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: R. Wilson, D. Leversha, S. Martin, C. Bastow, B. Jones, J. Raymond. Woori Yallock 13.14(92) d Monbulk 8.8(56) Woori Yallock, like Olinda and Wandin, remain undefeated on top of the ladder and Monbulk are left still looking for that elusive first win for the season. Woori got away to an early lead and were never really challenged from then. Woori kicked five goals to one in the second and went to the major break with a 44-point lead. Monbulk bounced back in the third, outscoring Woori, kicking 2.5 to 1.3 and played some hard contested footy. But the lead was too great to chase down and Woori Yallock ended up winning by 36-points. Woori Yallock Best: R. Allen, J. Adams (1 goal), M. Batten, B. Arnold, H. Smith, M. Baxter. Monbulk Best: J. Williams, H. Gordic (2 goals), M. Langworthy (4 goals), R. Gilbert, J. Rak, L. Jurey. DIVISION 2 SENIORS FOOTBALL Kinglake 23.9(147) d Thornton Eildon 8.8(56) Kinglake has notched up its first win for the season after a big win over Thornton on Saturday. Kinglake had a massive nine-goal opening quarter and a lead of 33 points into the second. Accuracy in front of goal was paramount for Kinglake today and they did not disappoint. Another five-goal quarter and the lead had increased to 50 points at half-time. As much as Thornton tried, they could not penetrate the defences of Kinglake, while at the other end, Kinglake was relentless and kicked another four goals while Thornton could only manage one. Another fivegoal last quarter well and truly had the game signed, sealed and delivered. Kinglake Best: J. Crowe (4 goals), M. McAllister, T. Tesoriero (4 goals), Z. White (3 goals), J. Butterworth, H. Prest (1 goal). Thornton Eildon Best: T. Keating (1 goal), J. Dickson, D. Creed, K. Purtle (3 goals), S. Larkman (1 goal), Z. Vujasic. Powelltown 21.16(142) d Yea 13.9(87)
Powelltown share top spot on the ladder with Yarra Glen and Belgrave after a good win over Yea. It was an even first quarter with Powelltown taking the lead, kicking 5.4 to 3.4. Both sides kicked five goals in the second but the lead had increased to 14 points. Yea outscored Powelltown in the third, kicking four straight to Powelltown 3.3. Powelltown really swung into action in the last, kicking a matchwinning 7.3 to 1.3 to come home winners by 55 points. Powelltown Best: W. Dore, N. Moody (1 goal), G. Newing (4 goals), R. Goodinson, R. Johnson (1 goal), D. Rees (5 goals). Yea Best: S. Pearce (1 goal), A. Chisholm. X. O’Dwyer, A. McSpeerin (2 goals), E. Neilson, B. Bullen. Yarra Glen 16.17(113) d Seville 9.17(71) Yarra Glen got away with a good win, even though the lead was only five points at half-time. A 1.6 first quarter was something Seville did not need and Yarra Glen went into quarter time with a nine-point lead. Seville fought back in the second, kicking 4.4 to 2.2. Yarra Glen piled on 7.8 in the third to 2.5 and gave themselves plenty of breathing space going into the last. The last quarter was a tough 30 minutes, but Yarra Glen managed to kick 4.4 to 2.2 to increase the final margin to 42 points. Yarra Glen Best: A. Smith (1 goal), B. James (5 goals), C. Tait (1 goal), R. McDermott (2 goals), L. Telford (4 goals), S. Wintle. Seville Best: P. Bailey, T. Baker, J. Noble, A. Mammoliti, D. Groen, J. Neal. Alexandra 14.17(101) d Yarra Junction 12.7(79) Yarra Junction took on Alexandra on Saturday in a game that ended up being one of the closest contested games of the round. Alexandra got off to a good start; although, if they had of capitalised on their scoring shots, the margin would have blown out - 3.6 to 3.1 certainly kept the Eagles in the game at quarter time. The second quarter was an even contest, with Alexandra kicking 4.5, while Junction kicked 3.2. Alexandra were certainly doing Junction some favours and giving them every opportunity to win this game. Only 14-points down at half-time, it was game on. The third quarter made no inroads on the margin as both sides increased their score by 20 points. In the last, Alexandra again flirted with danger, kicking 4.4 to 3.2. They will need to straighten up in front of goals if they want to get close to any of the top teams this season. Alexandra Best: B. Norris (7 goals), L. Ragg, B. Cooper (1 goal), L. Heard (1 goal), M. Coombs, J. Rouget (2 goals). Yarra Junction Best: T. Wheeler (6 goals), L. McCombe (1 goal), J. Holmes, A.

The Heritage Family
WARBURTON GOLF WEDNEWSDAY Due to the extreme weather mid-week, there was no Wednesday competition. The proposed Anzac Day competition was also affected, as only six ‘hardy’ golfers braved the elements! But, going back to Monday, saw a fine day, where the Donna Buang Challenge was once again held. This is a long-standing competition between Warburton and Healesville RACV. John Lloyd brought an ‘army’ of 20-plus over to the enemy ‘patch’ to do battle. As often happens, the home side won the day. But a lot of fun was had by all!
Warburton’s average scoring was 31.7 points, which was enough to defeat the RACV crew and retain the unique trophy. SATURDAY Stableford: What a consistent player, Senior Cross is. He claimed A Grade with 38 wellcompiled points. Fine effort, Noel; and Junior - take note! B Grade was also won by a ‘senior’ Kempton. Wayne had the best score on the day with 39 impressive points. The day’s runner-up was Andrew McMath with 38 points, too. Balls went down to 34. NTP winners were Ken Barratt (3rd), Tim Mulhall (5th), Butch Hollis (9th), John Hall (12th), and to John Blanche on the ever-challenging 15th.

Motoring Shining the light Road Trauma Support Services Victoria (RTSSV) has planned a host of activities in the leadup to its ‘Shine a Light on Road Safety’ campaign this month. Now in its fourth year, the campaign aims to raise the awareness among motorists of road safety before Friday 12 May, when motorists will be asked to ‘turn on your headlights’ to shine a light on road safety. The Victorian Government and leading road safety agencies are among those which have lent support to the RTSSV initiative. Government buildings will be lit up throughout the campaign, encouraging motorists to turn on their headlights. Victorian Police Assistant Commissioner of Road Policing, Doug Fryer, has once again been announced as campaign ambassador. Numerous landmark city buildings will be illuminated during the campaign, includ-

ing the Melbourne Arts Centre Spire, Victorian State Library, Melbourne Town Hall, the Exhibition Building, Melbourne Star and Ballarat Town Hall. Major buildings in other state capitals will also be illuminated. A community walk on Sunday 7 May will kick off the week of activity, which will be held this year at Albert Park Lake. Corporate supporter of the event, Narva, believes the campaign is vitally important, spokesperson Jake Smith said. “The value of the work undertaken by RTSSV, with people affected by road trauma, is making a real difference to victims and the families of victims; and at the same time their education programs are changing attitudes of drivers,” he said. RTSSV is a not-for-profit organisation, contributing to the safety and well-being of road users.
