Vinyl flooring is a walkover Vinyl is a great choice for anyone who is looking for an affordable, easy-to-care-for solution. Knox Flooring Xtra specialises in the supply and installation of a wide range of vinyl in a variety of designs to suit any home or commercial space. As a national brand it has stores that can supply vinyl in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional areas. The products supplied and installed are affordable and
chosen for the company’s contemporary designs, technology and durability. Vinyl is great for those busy spaces that will require regular cleaning. It is easy to maintain, enabling people to spend more time using their floors and less time cleaning them. It is great for those high traffic areas that could cause wearing and stains on other flooring alternatives. Durable as well as resilient, this floor option has more give,
meaning it is more comfortable to stand on for long periods of time and is quieter. With the trend now to move away from floating floors, vinyl loose lay planks is not only durable, but 100 per cent waterproof so new floor will look amazing for many years to come.

Foam best to beat the leaves The Gutter Protector foam wedge gutter guard was first used in America about 15 years ago with great success. At that time, it was one of the most talked about products on American talk shows. It’s now also used widely throughout Europe and Canada, again with the
same great success. Finally, it is here in Australia, first introduced to Melbourne as Gutter Guard Melbourne and now supplying the whole of Australia as Gutter Protector Australia. The gutter guards are specialised filtering foam that has been used in
filtering water in all sorts of industries for many decades; it cannot absorb or hold water due to its specialised cell structure, and water just flows straight through gutter guard into your clean gutters, making it the best gutter guard available. Gutter guards contains a UV formula to prevent cell degradation from
the sun, a biocide formula to prevent the formation of mold, algae and the growth of seeds. It also contains a premium fire retardant which has been CSIRO tested to Australian Standard Flammability Test AS 1530-3-1999 - all these additives have been added in the mix of the foam during production, so are all
locked in throughout the product and will last for the lifespan of the foam. The foam wedge gutter guard's rain handling capacity is rated at 10 times the standard rainfall; this capacity is essential to be able to cope with large water flow coming down from your roof valleys, making Gutter Protector the perfect gutter guard system.

A plot for canny gardeners Have you ever thought about investing in a plot? A garden plot, that is! Community gardens are flourishing in the city and suburbs where house blocks are small and there’s often no room for the traditional vegie garden out the back ... or the front! While most households across the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges still have enough backyard to put in the odd garden bed and fruit tree or two, the increase in unit develop-
ment and dual-occupancy means that for some, the pleasure of growing and picking from your own garden bed is no longer feasible. But space is not the only reason to buy into a community garden. There are almost as many reasons for getting together with like-minded gardeners in a communal space, as there are weeds! Community gardens increase a sense of community ownership and stewardship, bring people of different
backgrounds and ages together, and make fresh, seasonal herbs, vegetables and fruit available at a low cost. Community gardening is a healthy, inexpensive activity for young, old and everyone in between allowing interaction between the generations in a socially meaningful and physically productive way. They promote shared knowledge, encourage sustainable, chemical-free food production, reduce food miles and the vegies just taste a whole lot better.
There are several community-run gardens dotted about Yarra Ranges communities and they welcome newcomers and volunteers.

Firing up for a warmer winter By Derek Schlennstedt Fire. The word resonates with residents throughout the Yarra Ranges and can bring back memories of Black Saturday and Ash Wednesday. Each year in spring, residents in fire-prone areas clean up their gardens and remove plants to reduce the risk of fire. But, just because you may live in a fire risk location, does not mean you have to sacrifice a bright and welcoming garden.
The Ash Wednesday Bushfire Education Centre (AWBEC) in Cockatoo has constructed an interactive fire-wise garden to prove not all fire-wise plants are dull and boring. “No plant is fireproof, and all will burn but some are more resistant to heat,” Graham Simpson, Chairperson at AWBEC, said. The new fire-wise garden is designed to help educate the community on how to implement a fire-wise garden and re-
duce loads. With pebbles offering much more resistance than flammable mulch and various small but bright plants, the fire-wise garden offers a perfect example of how to beautify and reduce fire risk around your property. “It’s to pick plants that don’t readily ignite, what this firewise garden does is that it has signs with a QR code, which will take you to the CFA website which can tell you if your plants at home have a low or
moderate fire risk,” he said. “These plants are all designed so they don’t touch each other, so the fire can’t jump to the next one.” All the plants at the AWBEC fall into the low to moderate fire
risk range and many are native indigenous plants, which are perfect for attracting wildlife and bird life to your backyard. Some of the plants include winter delight grevilleas, birthday candle banksias, bright and
colourful lily pillies, and succulent red kangaroo paw. Graham said it was not difficult to create a firewise garden and that anyone could do it with plants readily available and reasonable priced.

Chance to detox your home Disposing of unwanted and out-ofdate household chemicals in a safe way is difficult for many families and households. The Detox Your Home household chemical collection service this August gives the chance to get rid of common chemicals around the house, shed or garage without harming health or the environment. The next scheduled collection takes place at Lilydale on Saturday 26 August.
The site address and specific time to drop off unwanted chemicals (between 9am and 3pm) will be provided when registering by filling out an online form at detox.sustainability.vic. gov.au. Register to select a preferred time slot and avoid a long queue. Most people know that it’s simply not safe to throw chemical products out with regular rubbish collection.

nite, leak or mix with other chemicals. Pouring them down the drain is not a solution because the chemicals could pollute waterways, harming wildlife and vegetation, contaminating drinking water supply and making rivers and beaches unsafe for swimming. Detox Your Home is easy and it’s free. The collected items are recycled, ensuring they don’t end up in landfill.
Paint, household batteries and fluorescent lights - which are less toxic than household chemicals but also more common waste item - can be disposed of throughout the year at a permanent drop-off site. Detox Your Home, on the other hand, is a free service designed specifically to collect unwanted, highly toxic household chemicals. For a list of what can and can’t be dispose of, visit www.sustainability.

Smoke-free meals or street festivals. Venue owners have had two years to consider the changes to the Tobacco Act, and many are ready for them; however catering for those changes may prove more difficult than first anticipated. Healesville Hotel manager Heather Fraser supports the decision, and has had to re-arrange the beer garden to cater for the four-metre buffer zone change. “We’ve assessed where we can move our tables to, so we can still allow people to smoke and also still

There are no ifs or butts about it, the smoking ban that comes into effect in August will see smoking removed from outdoor dining areas. From 1 August, Victorian pubs and clubs will be required to adopt a fourmetre buffer zone, or install plastic walls to shield diners from smoking customers. If the separation requirements are not met, smoking will be banned from that outdoor area. The ban will also affect footpath dining, food fairs and other organised outdoor events, including community

announced Health Minister Jill Hennessy said the law was a step in the right direction and would help protect Victorians from the dangers of secondhand smoke. “The new ban aims to protect the community from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke, reduce the visibility of smokers and de-normalise smoking for young people, and support smokers to quit for good.” Around 13 percent of Victorians smoke, and according to HealthVic, more than 73 per cent of Victorians support the introduction of the ban.

Michelle Schiavello also supports the changes, but said it was difficult to rearrange their beer garden to accommodate for smokers and non-smokers. “We have to adjust the beer garden, so we’re going to have a planter box and then the four metres between the tables.” “It’s tricky, four metres is large and we don’t have that area to do that.” “I think we may end up with more people standing outside, and then the butts will end up on the street,” she said.

Possum’s uncertain future By Kath Gannaway A State Government report has delivered a mixed message on the viability of the critically endangered Leadbeater’s possum and the impact of 200-metre radius timber harvesting exclusion zones on the timber industry. The report by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) was undertaken by the department with contributions from VicForests on the costs to the timber industry and other data from the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council’s Fibre and Wood Supply assessment report. The report was triggered by a condition of the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group recommendations of 2013 which recommended the 200-metre radius. LPAG recommended that a review be undertaken after two years of intensive surveying, or once 200 new colonies had been verified in state forest available for timber harvesting. Both these occurred in June 2016. Key findings included that the review of the 200-metre Timber Harvesting Exclusion Zone was contribution to the conservation of the possum through the identification and protection of additional colonies that may previously been at risk from timber harvesting, but that the possum remains at a high risk of extinction until 2050-2070 until hollows develop in the 1939 regrowth. That prediction was based on a future scenario of 200 years without bushfire, the report found. “This is highly unlikely, but the figure is useful to demonstrate the relative effectiveness of protection of colonies from timber harvesting,” it said. It found that the effectiveness of THEZs contributed to achieving the LPAG aim of slowing the projected de-
cline in population numbers in Central Highlands so that there are sufficient individuals for the species to recover in the future. “However, the species remains at risk of extinction, especially when considering the likelihood of future bushfires,” the report said. There were a number of concerns around the security of suitable habitat in the future and the ongoing loss of hollow-bearing trees that reduces nesting habitat. On the impact on the timber industry, the report said the benefits to the possum from the THEZs had come at a cost to the timber industry. The direct impact it said was the reduction in the total area and volume of timber available for harvesting. “VicForests estimates that the THEZs established up until January 2017 will result in a loss of revenue from sawlog harvesting to 2030 of $17.77 million based on net present value. It said the THEZs had also created additional road costs with the additional costs for coupes on the current harvest plan estimated at $5.574 million. Further recommendations included a review of the THEZ to reduce indirect impacts on the timber industry while ensuring adequate protection for the possum; undertaking further field studies to improve knowledge of the possum with DELWP undertaking field surveys to identify LBP distribution and numbers across the Central Highlands, and VicForests continuing pre-harvest surveys in proposed coupes. DELWP should further develop species models as the basis for improved forest management planning and conservation management, the THEZs should be reviewed and other existing Special Protection Zones (SPZs) in the Central Highlands should also be
A lowland Leadbeater's possum which is part of a captive breeding program at Healesville Sanctuary. reviewed to optimise for timber availability, protection for Leadbeater’s possum, threatened species and other forest values. The Australian Forest Products Association has welcomed the report and called on the Victorian Government to ease the 200 metre THEZs and conduct a comprehensive population study of the possum. AFPA CEO Ross Hampton said the recommendations cast doubt over the accuracy of earlier population estimates and said further work was
required to provide more robust estimates. Chairman of Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum Steve Meacher, however, said the report was problematic. “Talking of the future and assuming there will be no bushfires, and that the 200 metre buffers are working is very questionable,” he said. He said one of the suggestions made for access through the identified buffer zones for road access to other coupes would render the buffers useless.
“They also claim that the buffers add to the formal reserve area but they are like little islands and if a colony of animals survives within that buffer, ultimately there is no-where for them to go. “Once they have clear-logged those buffers they would be completely isolated - they may survive six or so years before the colony was wiped out.” He said the group would provide an analysis of the review to the Minister for Environment, Lily D’Ambrosio.

Community goes solar By Kath Gannaway A number of Yarra Glen businesses will have the opportunity to go solar as part of the Yarra Glen community solar project. The group formed as a result of the Yarra Glen People’s Panel is now incorporated as Yarra Glenergy, and seeking business partnerships. The aim of Yarra Glenergy, a group made up of local residents, is to facilitate the construction and running of a community-led solar project in Yarra Glen. Yarra Glenergy representative Rebecca Johnston-Ryan said the group was now calling for Expressions of Interest to find suitable businesses to host solar panels, as part of the project. “We’re looking for business partners to work with us and help us take the next steps to make this project a reality,� Ms Johnston-Ryan said. The selected businesses will have a northfacing roof to optimise the ability of the solar panels and a reasonable daytime energy consumption that could be offset by the renewable power. Ms Johnston-Ryan said after the panels were installed, Yarra Glenergy would sell the electricity to the businesses and distribute a portion of the profits to local clubs and community groups. The remainder would then be used to fund further renewable energy projects. Ryrie Ward Councillor Fiona McAllister said the community had taken practical ownership of the solar project from the outset. “It’s been community-instigated, led and owned, and we’ve had enthusiastic people in Yarra Glen stepping up to take leadership roles,� Cr McAllister said. “The Yarra Glenergy project has the opportunity to see great, sustainable benefits to the community, and I look forward to seeing the results.� For more information email yarraglenergy@gmail.com or through their facebook page www.facebook.com/YarraGlenergy.

Truck’s slow-mo roll Police have not completely ruled out speed as a factor in a log truck roll over in Chum Creek on Saturday morning ... but say it’s more speed, not less, that was needed. Yarra Junction Police Sergeant Kevin Largue said a little more speed might have averted the slow-motion topple which saw the truck lose its load on the corner of the HealesvilleKinglake and Healesville Yarra Glen roads around 9.30am on Saturday, 22 July. “The truck’s stopped up at the intersection to give way to traffic and as he’s started to pull out the back wheels of the trailer fell into the culvert,� Sgt Largue said. “If he’d had momentum ... if he was moving, it would not have happened. “Because he’s stopped the back
of the trailer toppled and pulled the rest over.� The Yarra Valley driver had to kick out the passenger-side window to get out of the truck. Fortunately, he escaped injured, apart from a self-confessed dent to his pride after 30 years driving trucks. Traffic was diverted around the crash scene for several hours, and again, speed came into play. Sgt Largue said with flashing lights from CFA, SES and Police units lighting up the intersection, most people were observing the new slow to 40km/h rule. “I think it will probably take while for the message to filter through that you need to slow down in situations like this, but in the main most people are complying,� he said.
Company calls for vigilance The driver escaped unharmed - a good result. 170876
Yarra Valley Water is urging residents in the Yarra Ranges to remain vigilant and not grant access to people claiming to be from Yarra Valley Water without the correct identification. The notice comes as Yarra Valley Water has reported that it had received calls from members of the public regarding suspicious activity. “People claiming to be from Yarra Valley Water, in a branded vehicle have been accessing properties claiming to be reading the gas meter or to be checking other utilities such as phone lines,� Steve Lennox, general manager, Retail Services, said. “While we do have water meter readers in the community, they have correct identification and can demonstrate that they are our employees.� People who are concerned that someone is impersonating a member of Yarra Valley Water staff are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the police.
Council serious about keeping kids safe Inquiry into the Handling of Abuse by Religious and other Non-Government Organisations. Cr Cliff said the policy helped staff and volunteers to understand their responsibilities. “By formally adopting this policy, we can continue to improve the work we do and create a safer and more inclusive environment for children, and create the potential for a reduction in child abuse in the Yarra Ranges in the long term,� Cr Cliff said.

Yarra Ranges Council staff and volunteers are now better equipped to protect children in the event of abuse, according to mayor Noel Cliff. At its 27 June meeting, council endorsed the Safeguarding Children Policy, which aims to not only protect children, but to identify potential signs of abuse and better facilitate connections with support services. Yarra Ranges Council developed the policy in response to the Child Safe Standards, which was introduced in late 2015 as a result of the Government’s ‘Betrayal of Trust’

Real need for a check-up From my
desk Jim Child
Mayor, Yarra Ranges The importance of preventative health checks was brought home to me recently. After a check-up with my doctor, I was advised to take a precautionary colonoscopy after a bowel test came back negative. The doctor then delivered the news no-one wants to hear: I have bowel cancer.
Recently I underwent surgery to remove my tumour, which will be followed by chemotherapy treatment. My prognosis is good - the doctors were able to remove the tumour, and are confident the cancer has not spread. So things are looking positive. Others are perhaps not so lucky when receiving this news. This diagnosis has given me an opportunity to raise awareness about the prevalence of bowel cancer, and the importance of bowel cancer screening tests that are freely available for residents over 50 years of age. Bowel cancer is Australia’s second most common type of cancer. In Australia, 80 people die from bowel cancer every week, and around one in 10 men and one in 15 women are diagnosed with the disease by the
age of 85 every year. When I think about these statistics in the context of Yarra Ranges Council as an organisation, those numbers are alarming. And if you look around the Yarra Ranges community, chances are we all know of someone who has been impacted by this terrible disease. Bowel Cancer Australia says the bowel cancer screening test is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer. When identified early, 90 per cent of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated. The free bowel screening test could very well have saved my life - and it could save yours, too. I urge anyone in the Yarra Ranges who is over 50 years old to make the most of the free bowel screening test.
Information about how to access a free kit is available at www.cancerscreening.gov.au or by phoning 1800 118 868. And of course, regular check-ups at your doctor are also an important preventative measure for overall health. I have regularly practised annual health checks including blood pressure, cholesterol, prostate and other men’s health issues. It was while undergoing one of these checks that my GP recommended another test, which then alerted me to my current health issue. For more information about bowel cancer, I encourage you all to go to www.bowelcanceraustralia.org or www.cancer.org.au. Donations for research into bowel cancer can also be made through the Bowel Cancer Australia website.

Winter warmth for needy By Derek Schlennstedt In the Yarra Ranges, winter means bitterly cold temperatures, frost warnings and sometimes even snow. For the majority, the customary response is to curl up inside beside a roaring fire. However, many are not guaranteed this luxury, and in a first for the Yarra Ranges, Stable One, a not for profit organisation, and various Yarra Valley churches have banded together to help support the homeless over winter. This support takes form in food, warmth and a roof over their heads, and each night around 10 homeless individuals are given the opportunity to sleep in a safe space at one of the many churches in the region. The ground-breaking program specifically runs over the coldest months of the year, from 3 June until 1 September.
Jenny Willets, Stable One facilitator, said the initiative was aimed at offering safe and supportive accommodation for those experiencing, or at risk of homelessness in Lilydale and Mount Evelyn. “We have established partnerships with local churches, and are helping them to work together to run the shelter, using their building as venues and members as volunteers,” she said. “It offers a safe, caring community environment where guests receive an evening meal, the opportunity to socialise and enjoy community, a comfortable bed in the church halls, a light breakfast and support to link into other services and agencies.” Around 30 churches across the Yarra Ranges are involved including Mount Evelyn, Kilsyth, Lilydale, Yarra Glen and Wandin. Some 150 trained volunteers are involved in helping to make their stay as
comfortable as possible. Jenny noted that since its inception it had helped various homeless people onto their feet. “Since coming here, everything has started to go better in my life,” said one individual who had spent the night at the Lilydale Baptist Church. Trevor Ingamells said the program not only provided people with acommodation, but also was able to help people thrive, and commented on one person who since having a regular place to sleep was able to find a job. “Once he had somewhere to stay, he could build on that, it took some stress off and he was keen to work ... he now works three days a week and on those three days, he leaves early and goes to work,” he said. If you are experiencing homelessness and are from the Yarra Ranges area, call 1800 431 244.

Our firies join the fight in Canada By Kath Gannaway Two Yarra Valley firefighters have flown to Canada as part of the 53-member Australian contingent fighting wildfires in British Columbia. Healesville CFA fire behaviour analyst Tim McKern and DELWP helicopter co-ordinator John Carter, who works out of Woori Yallock and Powelltown offices are among Victorian forest fire staff from DELWP, CFA and Parks Victoria who left Australia on 18 July to help manager more than 140 out-of-control fires in the British Columbia province. The Mail spoke with Tim McKern as he headed out of Tullamarine for what could be a 42-day deployment. Leaving his wife, Nicole and two littlies

Caitlin and Tasman, he said his motivation for signing on went back to the Black Saturday fires in 2009 when he worked with American and Canadian firefighters who came to Victoria’s aid. “It was a really good experience to work with other people and share the skills and the fire knowledge,” Mr McKern said. “I see it as returning the favour ... repaying the commitment they made to Victoria back then.” While the type of forest fire may be different, Mr McKern said the process was essentially the same with analysing fuel types, weather patterns and other factors to determine where a fire might potentially end up. Mr Carter is familiar with the territory, having been part of the Australian contingent
fighting fires in Canada in 2015. Like Mr McKern, he told the Mail back then that although the vegetation was different, Canada and Australia worked under similar structures to combat forest fires. He said having worked with the Canadian fire-fighters in the Australian bushfire seasons of ’02-’03, ’06-07’ and ’09 the joint experience stood the Australian fire-fighters in good stead. Victoria’s Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the aim was to support Australia’s Canadian counterparts to bring the wildfires under control as quickly as possible. “We are proud of the relationship Australia has built with Canada over the past 15 years, and the support we can provide during their time of need,” he said.

Plastic not fantastic Since our start-up in 2000, the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Centre in Healesville has endeavoured to be a plastic bag free shop. We thank David Johnston and the other volunteers for their campaign to help create a plastic bag free Healesville. We have had our occasional opposition to not providing plastic bags, but now we would rather lose a sale than give out a plastic bag. It would be good to see how many shops can link to form a plastic bag free chain of shops. Recently I had the privilege of walking in the Yellingbo Reserve where ongoing efforts are being made to regenerate the environment. A helmeted honeyeater came to a nearby tree and I reflected on the sanity of the reserve in contrast to the insanity of the equivalent of a garbage truck of plastic being dumped each and every minute into the ocean.
In this third concert of the Five on Fridays series, join members of Orchestra Victoria’s brass section for a musical journey through its scintillating repertoire. Visitors will be able to join the musicians for a meet and greet after the performance. They will also be able to share their musical passion with a young companion.
Individually and collectively we are responsible for the environment and not just in our backyard. We have to choose between insanity and sanity, between pollution or regeneration. Peter Hannaford, Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Centre, Healesville.
More to be done The announcement by Coles and Woolworths to ban lightweight, single-use plastic shopping bags from July 2018 is a step in the right direction. Much, however, remains to be done by governments and consumers. To prevent plastics from entering our oceans, the Victorian Government should join with other states to implement a statewide ban on lightweight shopping bags and introduce a 10-cent refund system on plastic bottles and cans. Peter Cook, Clematis.

The new name has been made up from Millgrove, Warburton East and Yarra. Sponsor a book for your local library.

New Trout Farm at Powelltown Approved
An application for a trout farm with access from Little Yarra Road at Powelltown has been approved by council. The 17-hectare site has an abundant source of water from a dam fed by natural run-off and an existing diversion of Learmonth Creek. It is expected to attract up to 50 visitors a day at weekends. Healesville Guardian 31 July 1937 In Case You Didn’t Know At the council meeting the president, Cr Mowle paid tribute to the interest taken by Cr Johnston in the new bowling green. Cr Mowle said Cr Johnson had exercised a keen interest in the progress of the work and it was largely due to this that the construction has been carried out so satisfactorily.
The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new Presbyterian Church will take place on Saturday, 21 August at 3pm. The stone will be laid by Mr W.A. Bon of Melbourne, assisted by representatives of the Presbytery of Melbourne North. Three memorial windows have been donated. Alert to the menace to public safety caused by stock wandering on the highways and byways of Healesville, Cr Mowle on Monday sought to put an end to this evil by introducing a repealment and amendments to the existing shire by-laws which were deemed ineffective. Engagement - The engagement is announced of Betrice Majorie second eldest daughter of the late William Halliday of Powelltown and Mrs Naylor to Ronald George, only son of Mr and Mrs E.J. Anderson of Marysville, late of Yarra Junction.

Town of the ’40s By Kath Gannaway Helen Mann was just a toddler in the latter part of 1940s Yarra Glen. The Mann family lived in the heart of the town, next to the Shell garage, which in a previous life had been a peg factory. As secretary of the Yarra Glen and District Historical Society, Helen is busy delving into a decade that seesawed on the last five years of WW2, and the first five of the post-war era. The town had a population of around 350 and in spite of the war, or because of it, life went on. Helen said the racing club was still active, as was the hunt club. “At that time it was more women riding to the hunt than men. That’s how they kept it going,” Helen said. The Grand Hotel was heading into its sixth decade as a landmark on the hill, and in 1946 the football club was resurrected after going into recess in 1939 due to the war. Even then, there was a shortage of players and the numbers were boosted with players coming up from Coldstream. ‘The 1940s in Yarra Glen’ is the theme for the Society’s August meeting and they are inviting residents, former residents and descendants who lived in Yarra Glen at that time, along with ‘newcomers’ who would like to know what their town was like back then.
New tourism, art space By Kath Gannaway Marysville will have a new tourism and arts space, with the redevelopment of the former Maryville Rebuilding Advisory Centre. Murrundindi Council gave final approval in June for the new Marysville Tourism and Arts Centre, which aims to establish an exciting and vibrant space to support tourism and community under the one roof. The $1.05 million redevelopment will include the redesign of the visitor information facilities and the creation of theatre space with sliding walls and a removable stage to enable art exhibition, performance and a range of other uses. A multi-use community room, art workshop space, community meeting rooms, more storage space and a new entrance to the building are also included in the design. The approval was based on final redevelopment plans and an
agreement between the project partners - Marysville Triangle Business and Tourism Association, Marysville Cultural Community, Triangle Arts Group and Triangle Community Steelbands - to work collaboratively to establish and operate the new centre. The project has been made possible with funding from the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund, Regional Development Victoria and the Bendigo Bank and supports not only the redevelopment, but operations for the first five years to establish a financially sustainable way forward. Murrindindi Shire Council’s Community Services Portfolio Councillor Sandice McAulay said the groups had worked hard to develop the proposal. “I am so excited to see the dream of so many passionate people become a reality,” Cr McAulay said. Works are expected to start later this year and be completed in early 2018.

There are more than 1.5 million volunteers across Victoria, and a lot of them are making a difference in community groups and clubs across Yarra Ranges. The Victorian Government is providing an opportunity to say ‘thanks’ to volunteers as part of the Victorian Premier’s Volunteer Champions Awards, and reward the Volunteer of the Year with a $10,000 donation to the charity of their choice. Labor Upper House Member for Northern Victoria, Jac-
lyn Symes, says the prestigious awards will recognise up to 60 volunteers of different ages and cultural backgrounds, in the categories of leadership, impact, service, and teamwork. “These awards are just one of the ways that people in country Victoria can celebrate the selfless work of our volunteering community,” Ms Symes said. Award nominations close on 14 August at 5pm. To nominate a volunteer or for more information, visit: www. volunteer.vic.gov.au/awards

Don’t be a dummy with taxes “It sounds like a small thing, but we aren’t talking about small sums of money here. There are 13 million taxpayers, so if everyone over claims even $100 that adds up to a lot.” Ms Anderson said the ATO’s focus was on helping taxpayers get it right in the first instance, but the ATO was also on the lookout for red flags to find people who were doing the wrong thing. “The ATO scrutinises every return. We have the technology and experience to detect non-compliance and we are continuing to catch taxpayers who are deliberately doing the wrong thing.” Ms Anderson says there are three golden rules for taxpayers to remember to get it right. “One - you have to have spent the money yourself and can’t have been reimbursed, two - the claim must be directly related to earning your income, and three - you need a record to prove it.” The myDeductions tool in the ATO app can help make keeping records easier, and at tax time you can send your deductions to your tax agent or upload them directly to myTax. This year myDeductions is available to sole traders as well as individuals. The ATO also publishes a range of information on its website to help taxpayers figure out which of their expenses are deductible. “If you are using an agent, you can also talk to them to make sure the workrelated expenses that you claim are right,” Ms Anderson said.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is warning taxpayers to avoid incorrect claims for work-related expenses at tax time this year. Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson says the ATO is using real-time data to compare taxpayers with others in similar occupations and income brackets, to identify higher-than-expected claims related to expenses including vehicle, travel, internet and mobile phone, and self-education. “It is important to know what you’re eligible to claim before lodging your tax return and to make sure you don’t claim more than you’re entitled to,” Ms Anderson said. “Many taxpayers don’t have a good understanding of what deductions they can claim, and believe they can claim for items which they in fact can’t. Some taxpayers even think that you can make a standard claim of $300 without having spent the money. You don’t need receipts for claims up to $300 but you must have actually spent the money, and be able to show us how you worked out your deduction if asked.” Ms Anderson said that deductions for work uniforms were also a common trap for employees at tax time. “It’s a myth that you can claim everyday clothes - for example, black pants and a plain white shirt - even if you only wear them to work, and your employer says you have to. To legitimately claim your uniform, it needs be unique and distinctive, such as a uniform with your employer’s logo, or be specific to your occupation and not for everyday use, like chef’s pants or coloured safety vests.”

Looking focused Two films by award-winning Warburton director Peter Charles Downey will screen at Yarra Valley ECOSS documentary film night in Wesburn on Sunday 30 July at 7pm. Under the banner of Permculture of the Inner and Outer Landscape, Downey will present his first and latest documentaries - Anima Mundi (2011) and Esteem (2017). Anima Mundi explores permaculture, resource depletion, climate change and Gaia theory with David Holmgren (permaculture), Michael Reynolds (earthships), Vandana Shiva and others. The cathartic, vulnerable and intimate, Esteem explores eco-psy-
chology, deep ecology and social ecology with Prof Stuart Hill, John Seed, Subhana Barzaghi and Yarra Valley’s Aladdin Jones among others. There will be a warm fire and soup, bread and chai-tea available to purchase on the night. Seating is limited, so take along a cushion or sheepskin. DVDs of Downey’s four documentaries will be available for purchase and all monies raised go towards making future films with a message. The films are suitable for mature audiences and tickets are $15 and $13 concession. Phone 5967 2416.

Hills ride for literacy across seas Talk spiced with multi-culture By Kath Gannaway
By Kath Gannaway
If giving Cambodian children the chance to improve literacy and numeracy skills was as easy as riding a bike, everybody would do it! Right? That’s far from the full story, but it can be a part of the story for Yarra Ranges residents with the Children of Cambodia Foundation taking to the Warburton Trail on Sunday, 20 August for a fund-raising bike ride. The foundation, established in 2010, is a small charity that supports school children in rural northern Cambodia to attend school. Education is not compulsory in Cambodia. “It’s a desperately poor country, and the villages where we are operating are among the most impoverished,” said Geoff Shanks, deputy chairman of the foundation. “Many families simply cannot afford to send their children to school. They cannot cover the mandatory costs of purchasing school stationery and uniforms. “In addition, many children cannot get to school as they live beyond walking distance from their local school and do not have a bike.” Mr Shanks said providing the necessary items helped relieve the financial pressure on families, enabling their children to get to school. Library books, teaching aids, professional development for teachers and improving facilities make the school experience more rewarding. The foundation now supports 10 schools and around 3000 students, with 90 per cent of eligible children attending school.
Megan Wallens is another Upper Yarra woman with an interesting story to tell. She came to Warburton having had a varied career in nursing and clinical teaching, staff training and project management. Married young, she moved with her husband to many parts of Australia and worked on international aid development projects in Fiji, PNG and Inner Mongolia, making a life in each of these places. The story she will tell as part of the Women of Interest 2017 series at Yarra Junction Library on Saturday, 29 July, is informed by extensive travel, a deep interest in local cultures and their people and her creative post-retirement interests in gardening and writing. Her short stories have been published, and have won several awards. Having found a new home in Warburton, Megan became involved in local groups including the local Garden Club and friends of the Warburton Rail Trail.
The success of the program brings further challenges, and Mr Shanks said ongoing funding was critical. “The Seville event will be important in assisting with this challenge,” he said. There are three ride options of 18km, 34km and 51km- all starting and returning to Seville for lunch at the Carriage Cafe. The cost is $25 for adults with kids riding free. Bookings are essential through Trybooking. Inquiries to Geoff Shanks on 0400 012 133 or visit www.childrenofcambodia.com.au .
Evacuation a fractured epic Dunkirk Starring Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance and Tom Hardy Rated M By Seth Hynes Dunkirk, a true-story war epic about the massive Allied withdrawal during World War II, is as bold, ambitious and oblique as any of director Christopher Nolan’s other works. The film depicts the evacuation of the title beach from three interconnected perspectives: the evacuation of the soldiers themselves, taking place over the course of a week, a civilian yacht conscripted to aid in their rescue
during one day, and a Royal Air Force pilot protecting the civilian fleet over one hour. Dunkirk is a remarkable technical achievement with seamless effects and thrilling battle sequences. While the Dunkirk beach is framed as a vast purgatory of near-constant suffering and set-backs, the film derives much of its suspense from more claustrophobic settings, such as sinking ships or crashed planes. The film allows for heroic moments while never glamorising war, keeping the stress and desperation of the evacuation at the forefront.
Unfortunately, the film’s innovative structure is its biggest handicap. The narratives dovetail together effectively in the climax but the transitions between them can be jarring, and the way time is extruded and compressed throughout the film makes it hard to tell what is happening at what point. If events of heavy dramatic weight can be accomplished in a day or hour, the impact of the week-long struggle on the beach is diminished. Dunkirk is a film of phenomenal parts in an impressive but frustrating whole.

Season up for grabs By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Round 13 is done and dusted for Division 1, while Division 2 have put Round 14 behind them. In Division 1, the fight for the minor premiership is wide open with only four points separating the top four. In Division 2, it is really between Belgrave and Seville for the minor premiership, but a good backend to the season for Yarra Glen could see them challenging. In Division 1 netball, Olinda are holding fast on top of the ladder with now Woori Yallock and Wandin fighting it out for second spot, but they are all safe in the top three. In Division 2 netball, Belgrave are undefeated and clearly on top of the ladder and favourites for the minor and major premierships. Yarra Glen holds onto second spot with Yarra Junction and Yea fighting it out for third spot. Division 1 Seniors Football Upwey Tecoma 13.10(88) d Emerald 12.14(86) Upwey has all but secured themselves a spot in the top five with a closely fought game on Saturday. Upwey got the early jump kicking 4.4 to 2.1 in the first term and had a slender lead of 15 points. It was a goalkicking feast in the second quarter with 11 goals being kicked but Upwey still had the upper hand with a lead of 21 points at half-time. Emerald rallied in the third term kicking 3.6 to one straight to reduce the lead to only three points at three-quarter time. Emerald kicked 2.5 to 2.4 in the last and could only reduce the margin to two points at the final siren. A third quarter that saw Emerald have nine scoring shots to one came back to bite them in the end. Upwey-Tecoma Best: D. Waters (8 goals), J. Hackett, N. Beacom, S. Mitchell (2 goals), H. Stanley, L. Beacom. Emerald Best: L. Sheppard, P. White, J. Bishop (1 goal), D. Karacsonyi (1 goal), J. Pedder, S. Cocks. Healesville 16.12(108) d Mount Evelyn 6.8(44) Healesville are now sitting atop the ladder after possibly finishing Mount Evelyn’s chances to play in finals this year. The first quarter was tight with only two points separating the teams at quarter time. Healesville capitalised on the wind advantage in the second term kicking 4.6 to two goals to take a 20-point lead at half time. Mount Evelyn could not get the benefits of the wind in the third quarter and only managed to kick two goals to Healesville’s 3.2. The lead at three-quarter time was 28 points and the game was in the bag. Healesville really kicked away in the last holding Mount Evelyn goalless while they piled on six for themselves. Healesville Best: B. Murphy, N. Mende (1 goal), G. Schiavello, D. Anderson, L. Daly, S. Gordon (5 goals). Mt Evelyn Best: B. Doyle, D. Kift, J. Barden, D. Wootton, S. Martin (1 goal), A. Chalkley. Monbulk 16.12(108) d WarburtonMillgrove 15.9(99) Monbulk got home by the skin of their teeth on Saturday after a great effort by Warburton-Millgrove. Warburton came out with a purpose in the
Emerald's Brent Maloney flies high. 170885 first term and kicked 6.2 to 5.2 to take a surprising six-point lead at quarter time. Monbulk regrouped in the second quarter kicking 5.4 to 2.5 and the lead had swung in Monbulk’s favour by 11 points at half-time. Both sides kicked four goals in the third term and the momentum was still in Monbulk’s favour. Warburton staged a comeback in the last outscoring Monbulk by kicking 3.1 to 2.4, but the points finally went to Monbulk. Monbulk Best: B. Emmett (2 goals), J. Major, S. Williams (4 goals), S. McBride (2 goals), C. Tibb (1 goal), J. Rak (2 goals). Warburton-Millgrove Best: D. Brookes, T. McKail (2 goals), P. Hay, A. White (4 goals), S.Andueza, J. Lee (2 goals). Olinda Ferny Creek 12.17(89) d Gembrook Cockatoo 5.3(33) Olinda shares second spot on the ladder after a win over Gembrook on Saturday. Olinda started in fine form kicking 5.4 to one behind in the first term and earning a 33-point lead at quarter time. Gembrook held Olinda to only two goals in the second quarter and kicked two themselves but the lead was going to be tough to claw back. The third quarter was a battle of defences with Olinda only managing to kick one goal but they did hold Gembrook scoreless. The last quarter was freer flowing as Olinda kicked 4.6 to Gembrook’s 3.1 but the game was well and truly won. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: B. Walter (4 goals), D. Fitzgerald, M. Hottes, L. Hill, Jay Rankin (1 goal), Joshua Rankin (1 goal). Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: L. Scott, D. Welsh, R. Causer, L. Frazzetto (1 goal), J. Kruithof, D. Leversha. Woori Yallock 9.16(70) d Wandin 7.13(55) Woori Yallock has kept themselves in touch with the top three after a solid win over second-placed Wandin. The first quarter was tight with only two goals being kicked and a one-point lead to Wandin. Woori Yallock had most of the ball in the second term and kicked 3.6 to 1.1 to take a 16-point lead into the main break. Wandin had advantage
Picture: ROBYN KUYS
of any wind in the third quarter and kicked 2.5 to 3.1 but could not convert when it was needed. Inaccuracy was the order of the day as Woori Yallock kicked 2.5 to 3.2 in the last but managed to hang on and come away with a celebrated win. Woori Yallock Best: B. Arnold, K. Thompson, M. Wright, S. Kennedy, L. Boontjes, R. Allen (1 goal). Wandin Best: M. Polkinghorne (1 goal), P. Bruzzese (1 goal), H. Byrne (2 goal), J. Del Giudice, N. Molnar (2 goals), J. Ladner. Division 2 Seniors Football Alexandra 20.10(130) d Thornton Eildon 13.9(87) Alexandra’s finals hopes are still well and truly alive after a 43-point win on Saturday. Alexandra started up with five goals in the first term to three and had the jump on Thornton by 16 points at quarter time. Alexandra kicked five straight in the second quarter while Thornton kicked 4.4 and could have had a real impact if they were accurate in front of goal. Alexandra stepped it up in the third term with six goals to three and their lead had blown out to 38 points at three-quarter time. The scoring seesawed in the last with seven goals being kicked but the honours went to Alexandra at the final siren. Alexandra Best: B. Cooper (2 goals), M. Coombs, C. Tranter, S. Heveren, B. Woollard, B. Norris. Thornton-Eildon Best: B. Wratten (1 goal), J. Newton (5 goals), R. Chapman, J. Strachan, J. Ashby, D. Creed. Kinglake 9.16(70) d Powelltown 7.13(55) Kinglake share fifth spot with Alexandra and Powelltown have dropped down to fourth after a morale-boosting win by Kinglake on Saturday. Kinglake got the advantage in the first term and held a slim lead by five points at quarter-time. Powelltown regrouped and got their game going in the second quarter and kicked 4.2 to 1.5 to take the lead by 10 points at the main break. Kinglake played some good footy in the third term and if they were accurate in front of goal the margin could have been well and truly out of reach but
they recaptured the lead by 16 points at three-quarter time. Powelltown had run out of steam by the last and could not find the gear they needed to put this one away. Both sides only kicked one goal but it was Kinglake in the end. Kinglake Best: C. Arnott (2 goals), J. Butterworth, H. Prest, J. Crowe (1 goal), B. White (1 goal), M. McAllister. Powelltown Best: J. Rohan, J. Moore, P. Allen (1 goal), J. Walker, M. Lord, T. Hallmark. Seville 31.12(198) d Yea 5.7(37) Seville is now two wins clear of Yarra Glen in second spot and has firmed as the ones to challenge Belgrave during the finals. They started off in fine form kicking 5.2 to 1.1 in the first term and they looked like they were in for a big one. An eight goal second quarter and the writing was on the wall for Yea as Seville took a 68-point lead into half-time. They came out and kicked another six goals in the third term and the lead was now 75 points. They certainly put their foot down in the last and held Yea goalless but kicked an impressive 12 goals to finish off the game. Seville Best: L. Casini (1 goal), N. O’Keefe (9 goals), J. Neal (6 goals), D. Toohey (5 goals), J. Nolan (1 goal), A. Wind (1 goal). Yea Best: H. Jarvie (1 goal), R. Aldous (1 goal), A. Chisholm, Z. Pell, T. Butterworth, J. Ryan (1 goal). Belgrave 24.15(159) d Yarra Junction 13.12(90) Belgrave are one game clear on top of the ladder after squashing any chance for finals this year for Yarra Junction. The first quarter was an even tussle but Belgrave took a lead of 15 points into the second quarter. The second term was much of the same with Belgrave kicking 4.6 to 4.5 and the lead to Yarra Junction’s credit was only 16 points. It was a low scoring affair in the third quarter, Belgrave could only manage 2.3 to Junction’s 1.3 but they still had control of the game. The last quarter was a different story when Belgrave fired up and kicked 12.1 to 4.2 and the win was convincing at the final siren. Belgrave Best: L. Foreman (1 goal), R. Ferguson (6 goals), P. Gough, Y. Curtis, J. Brown (3 goals), J. McDermott. Yarra Junction Best: M. Sword, T. Sword, T. Boxell, J. Bombinski, P. Cubbin, A. Chandler (2 goals). Yarra Glen: Bye.
