Donkey death By Derek Schlennstedt A donkey owner in Wandin North has been left reeling after receiving the news that a baby donkey from her paddock may have been taken hours after birth and dumped over four kilometres away. On 25 August a mutilated baby donkey was found with one of its legs torn off and part of its torso missing at Glenbrae Equestrian Centre. The foal was found by caretaker Vinny Hungerford on the furthest paddock from the road around 5.30pm, and Vinny said the foal had clearly just been born, as it was yet to be affected by rigor mortis. Police believe it may have been an animal attack, but Haydi Kubrak said her donkey May was due to give birth that month and that it may have been taken from her property in Wandin North and dumped at Glenbrae. Haydi currently owns 10 donkeys and runs Shanessy Grove Irish Donkeys and Ponies For Hire. She said that when she heard a dead foal had been found, she did not realise it was May’s foal. “I received a message on the day that a baby donkey had been found at Glenbrae on 25 August but I didn’t put two and two together because my donkey had shown no signs of having her baby that day,” she said. Haydi returned home from work on the day the foal was found and said her donkey, May, was giving off milk, a sign that correlated to her having given birth. Following a vet check, it was confirmed that May had indeed produced an offspring. “We did an internal and there was no baby inside, then my Jack Russell came running up with an afterbirth in its mouth,” Haydi said. “The way she was acting was completely unlike a mother that had lost her baby, because she wasn’t grieving she was just looking for her baby.” Since then Haydi has been trying to find out the circumstances that led to the foal’s disappearance and said witnesses had come forward to tell her

Haydi’s donkeys are well-known in her neighbourhood and many come to see the donkeys, including children from Interchange who regularly find solace and comfort in patting the friendly animals. Since seeing the disturbing photos
of the foal, Haydi has been unable to sleep or eat and feels for May who has been longingly searching for her baby and said she had since had to take extra precautions so people were unable to pat them by the fenceline. “I’m shattered, absolutely heartbroken, I’ve cried for a week, had a headache, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep.” “People don’t understand this is my job, my life, I rescue donkeys from bad situations.”
“May has been really off her food, she’s really depressed, she just keeps looking, there’s no grieving ... she hasn’t been allowed to grieve, yet it’s just an endless look,” Haydi said. While a herd of donkeys is located behind Glenbrae, Ms Kubrak said she had contacted the owners and received confirmation that the foal was not one of theirs. Lilydale Police believe the donkey was killed in an animal attack, but
Haydi questioned the likelihood of a fox or dog being able to kill a foal and then drag it to Glenbrae, which is over three kilometres away. Haydi said the 4WD was seen on 25 August at 2pm and the foal was then found at 5.30pm the same day. Anyone with information is urged to contact Lilydale Police on 9729 2300 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The Hills Food Frontier (THFF) in Tecoma is at the forefront of a ‘food revolution’ in the Dandenong Ranges. THFF is a volunteer-based group that inspires, mobilises and equips the hills community to choose, grow, share and eat good food. Their latest project has just come to an end with the construction of a food forest. Using permaculture principles, the food forest has incorporated edible shrubs, companion plants and a diverse group of vegetables and fruits. “The Hills Food Frontier wants to make ugly places beautiful by growing food,” president, Shanti Mclaren said. Over the past year volunteers have been working hard to construct the sophisticated design which ensures the three by 15-metre section of garden is built as efficiently as possible. Michael Johnson, owner of The Basin Backyard helped the group to maximise usage of space. “It’s about making maximum use of the limited amount of space available so we can fit as many fruit trees as possible ... one of the best ways to do this is to have an espalier,” he said. “We put in six varieties of fruit and in the future with grafting we can turn six into 18. “At the moment it’s fantastic but in the future it’s going to be spectacular - the amount of produce that will come out of the limited space will be really impressive.” The addition of the organically grown food forest to the flame garden will help promote food secu-
rity in Tecoma and provide access to healthy free food and education for those who need it. The Hills Food Frontier also have a free food cupboard which is part of their Food is Free Tecoma program where the produce they get from the community garden goes towards the community and people who need it. “There are 700 people that are homeless in the Yarra Ranges,” Fay Webster who is part of the Tecoma Uniting Church said. The food forest is utilises the flame garden situated at the Tecoma Uniting Church and has grown over the years from a simple community garden to a fully-fledged food forest. Though, Ros Carter, a volunteer with the THFF, said there were still plans to make it bigger and better. “We grow all kinds of vegetables, spinach, lettuce and beetroot - any kind of vegies that we can grow really. “We’re going to work on the understorey; berries and that sort of things ... create a little microclimate as part of the flame garden.“ All the food grown is collected by the community or placed in the food cupboard. Cr Noel Cliff, Mayor of Yarra Ranges visited the finished flame food forest and commended the group on the gardens incredible transformation. “I am blown away with it; it’s absolutely wonderful what they are doing here.“ “That’s why the shire was happy to give them a grant because they deserve it, they are doing positive things,“ Cr Cliff said.

Low-cost housing scrapped By Derek Schlennstedt Mount Evelyn resident Tim Herlihy says he is being forced by the Yarra Ranges Council to abandon the low-cost accommodation housing which he provides for people at risk of homelessness. The council inspected the house late last year and issued Tim with a building compliance report that meant he had to renovate the share house to include disability access - something which he said was not necessary as they had never had any physically disabled residents. At a time where groups such as Holy Fools are advocating the need for more housing affordability in the Yarra Ranges, Tim said this latest response from council showed they were not serious about homelessness. “I’m disappointed in the state regulations and the council implementations of them, which means that a place like this cannot continue without an inordinate expense. “One of our residents was living in her car, and it took literally months until a room became available here and she could move in, and she did. “Here she had a solid base to get her life back together and was then able to move on and a lot of people have used Marshal Street to do that.” Following an inspection in early 2016, council determined that the share house was not compliant with building codes and was required to meet 1b compliance. 1b compliance states that any boarding house with a total area of all floors not exceeding 300 square metres, and in which no more than 12 persons are residents, is required to include disability access and also a range of other requirements. Following the inspection Mr Herlihy sought the advice of a builder who told him that the compliance would actually be classified as a class 3 as it was bigger than 300 square metres. A class 3 building compliance would require extensive renovations, which Tim said would cost over $100,000 and which he would be unable to pay. Six people currently reside at the share house but with the house due to shut down, they will have to move. Jocelyn Binding has lived there for 10 years and said there was no better low-cost, quality accommodation in the area.
From Left: Peter Stekelenburg, chair of Mt Evelyn Township Group, Roger Boness, president of Mt Evelyn RSL, Tim Herlihy, Jocelyn Binding and Darcie Reynolds all believe that the Marshall Street accommodation is one of a kind. “I won’t get another one like this ... I lived in one in Ferntree gully when I first shifted out of home, and that was terrible ... the man didn’t care who he got in ... the amount of alcohol and drugs was incredible, I just had to get out.” “I don’t want to go back into another boarding house because I won’t get another one like this, the people the landlord, the agent, they are all wonderful people.” Darcie Reynolds, property manager at Ray White Mt Evelyn, helps maintain the property and said this was a one of a kind sharehouse that was in very good condition. “This is the only property I have on my roll where people can live on $150 a week including bills,” she said, “It’s by no means a shack it’s managed by a company and there is a screening process of getting into this type of housing ... not one property we manage has similar price, set-up, and
location.” Following the inspection, council said it had received a complaint from Consumer Affairs in July 2016 about the house being illegally used as a share house due to it not complying with class 1b. Council said they also issued a building notice in June 2016, asking Mr Herlihy to show cause by 29 August 2016 as to why he should not revert the building back to a class 1a dwelling and why the occupation of the building as a class 1b boarding house should not be prohibited or obtain an occupancy permit for the change of use, but received no reply. “These requirements are to ensure that occupants in the house have a minimum level of health and safety and those boarding houses do not discriminate against people living with a disability who may wish to rent a room.” “Council supports the rights of residents to convert their
dwellings into boarding houses, so long as the buildings meet minimum health and safety
standards and they apply for the appropriate building permit and occupancy permit,” Ali Wastie

Mayor in Big Day Out with art of interaction From my
desk Noel Cliff
Yarra Ranges mayor/Streeton Ward
On Saturday, 7 October, I am inviting the community to a free Mayor’s Big Day Out event at Burrinja Cultural Centre in Upwey. From 10am-3pm, there will be art, activities, entertainment and
a community expo, showcasing the best of the Yarra Ranges and giving residents a chance to learn more about the area. The gallery will be open with artwork on display, performances will be held in the main theatre, and everything at the event will be accessible, enjoyable and interactive for people of all ages and abilities. Children will be well catered for, with a magician, children’s workshops and drumming activities available on the day, while adults can visit the community
expo to learn more about community groups that call the Yarra Ranges home. The Yarra Ranges will be on show throughout the day, with various teams from council present to explain their roles and what they do to make the community a better place to live, work and play in. Food will be available, with the Upwey CFA running a community sausage sizzle for a gold coin donation. This will be a show day for the community where they can
Briefly Hospital safety funding
enjoy free events and activities, while learning more about the Yarra Ranges, council’s role in the community and the many dedicated community groups we have here. I’d like to thank those community groups, the residents and council staff who have made this day out possible and encourage everyone from around the community to come along and see everything their municipality has to offer. I look forward to seeing you there.
Frontline workers at Angliss Hospital will be safer at work with the rollout of behaviour assessment rooms in its emergency departments. As part of the Victorian Government’s $40 million plan to prevent violence and aggression towards the health workforce, the initiative forms part of the government’s campaign against occupational violence. An estimated 95 per cent of healthcare workers have experienced physical or verbal attacks while doing their
jobs. Behavioural assessment rooms are separate areas, purpose-built for staff to better assess and manage patients who present to emergency departments exhibiting behaviours of concern. Monbulk MP James Merlino said all healthcare workers deserved to feel safe at work. “We will continue to roll out initiatives to promote the safety and well-being of our health workers and paramedics - those who take such great care of our community,” Mr Merlino said.

Making a real difference By Peter Douglas Minister for Women Michaelia Cash says an integrated, ‘wraparound’ service aimed at supporting victims of family violence is making a significant difference throughout the Yarra Ranges. As part of her visit to the Eastern Community Legal Centre in Healesville on Friday 8 September, Ms Cash, Casey MP Tony Smith and Evelyn candidate Bridget Vallence met with much of the team behind the SAGE initiative, which seeks to overcome barriers to services for women experiencing family violence. The model - an acronym for Support Advice Guidance Empowerment - was implemented just over two years ago and is a key component to the Turnbull Government’s multi-million dollar Women’s Safety Package. Ms Cash said it particularly helped those who were at risk of slipping through the cracks. “So many will pull out because (they say) ‘It’s a bad experience in court, I can’t go back’,” the Western Australia-based minister said. “But when you have a wraparound service and an advocate who is there to support you, it’s a very different outcome. “Because of this integrated service (and) because of the support of the wraparound services they are given, they will actually continue with the process.” Ms Cash said not only was she delighted to visit the centre, “but more than that, to hear the positive feedback on SAGE as part of the Women’s Safety Package”. Eastern Community Legal Centre chief executive officer, Michael Smith, agreed SAGE had assisted those at risk

Though the meeting’s upbeat tone was a far cry from only two years ago, when the centre was under threat of closure. Millions of dollars of government funding was in doubt, with the centre’s future in jeopardy. But, along with the support of Yarra Ranges Council, Mr Smith and fellow Liberal MP Jason Wood led the charge to secure funding, ending months of

Letters Uphold the right In relation to Casey MP Tony Smith’s opinion piece ‘Delivering on election promises’, (Mail, 15 August), may I ask Mr Smith why he believes this postal vote on marriage equality is ‘the right thing to do’? In my view, through his column he has stated why it is not ‘the right thing to do’, because due to this postal vote there will be more vile judgments made, and voiced, by religious leaders who are supposed to teach love. With teen suicide six times higher in the LGBTI community than the heterosexual community, we do not need to be told that we are ‘vile sinners, no better than Hitler’. Where is the Federal Government’s sense of responsibility for the well-being of this most vulnerable section of society? We know that parliament can change the wording of the marriage law to include all couples without wasting over $100 million to find out what we all already know - that the great majority of Australians (including Christians) are for marriage equality. You say that Australian’s are fundamentally decent. I agree, that is why we were among the first nations to allow women to vote; however, every major English speaking democracy apart from Australia has marriage equality. What has happened? Does this Federal Government practice ‘fundamental decency’? Not only is this postal vote unnecessary, it is criminal in my view. Rev. Susan Townsend, Tecoma.
Malcolm in the muddle Well, here we are, Malcolm Turnbull. Recently, you said you were going to be prime minister for a long time.
Then you followed that with how strong you are, getting through the start of same-sex marriage legislation. Pride comes before a fall: I feel as we hear that Barnaby Joyce is caught up in the dual citizen debacle. If that follows through, you have no majority - where to from there? There are always the cross-benchers? I know whose fault you think this is - it is that pesky Bill Shorten, isn’t it? But you lost 14 seats at the election. So, there you go; I await the next chapter. Val Butler, Cockatoo.
Not so safe In relation to the article ‘Road barriers plea’ (Mail, 29 August), can I first say that I am not against safety on the roads, but I think this crazy notion of putting barriers, either 'Armco’ style or wire, on every road bend is getting way out of hand. People live in, or move to, areas such as Cockatoo and Emerald for the visual amenity, which doesn’t just include their backyards. Surely people have some responsibility for their own well-being, which includes on the road, and no amount of 'nanny state’ infrastructure is going to prevent unfortunate accidents, such as the one referenced in that article. People only have to drive the highway out of Yea towards Mansfield to see the potential end result of trying to protect drivers from themselves. It’s interesting how so often VicRoads drop speed limits when they introduce these barriers, too, when surely if the road is safer, the speed limit could remain the same, or even be increased in some cases. Peter Minahan, Cockatoo.
The tulips are ready to blossom again this spring. 172553
Tulips spring in By Peter Douglas You know spring has truly sprung when the Tesselaar Tulip Festival is in full bloom and bursting with a kaleidoscope of colour. Although the star of the show is the more than 900,000 flowering tulips, showcasing 130 different varieties, there is so much more to see. Visitors can discover plenty of themed children’s events, live entertainment, market stalls; and delicious local food, beer and wine. Just some of the themed events include the Over the Rainbow Week (1821 September), where visitors can join Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion
as they journey through the magical land of Oz in twice daily performances. The Dutch weekend (22-24 September) will include Tukkers Clog Dancers, live bands, tempting Dutch foods, activities, games and market stalls. The Children’s Get Active week (25-28 September) kick starts the school holidays with Peppa Pig and her little brother, George, daily on the main stage. In addition, dance with Ruby Ray and the Funky Monkeys, participate in African drumming and hula hoop workshops, play with animals in the petting zoo or make a trip to a fairy hollow. Escape the everyday on the Food,
Wine and Jazz weekend (29 September and 1 October). Kids are encouraged to dress up as their favourite hero or character during the Children’s Superhero Week (2-5 October) with spot prizes given out every day. Come for the fun at the end of the festival on Irish Weekend (6-8 October). The Tesselaar Tulip Festival is open daily, from 9am to 5pm, during 14 September to 10 October at the Tesselaar Tulip Farm, 357 Monbulk Road, Silvan.

By Peter Douglas Yarra Ranges Council has publicly defended its consultation and engagement strategy in relation to the development of the Mount Evelyn Recreation Reserve Master Plan, which is set for a vote at council’s 12 September meeting at Montrose. After suggestions the plan, which will act as a guidance tool for proposed works at the site, could sound the death knell for a local Powerful Owl population, council issued a detailed media response, maintaining it has attempted to achieve a balance between protecting local wildlife and providing a benefit for the entire community. Long-time resident and Powerful Owl watcher, Clare Worsnop, has expressed to the ‘Mail’ her fears the local population may disappear in the next five to 10 years, due to human activity and if the works proceed, which includes plans to resurface the lower reserve and drain a floodplain. Ms Worsnop said the local Powerful Owl population was already under significant stress. “The noise level has increased with increased usage of the recreation reserve in recent years ... the football club trains from Tuesday through to Cr Tony Stevenson said council had considered the position of all Friday, then plays weekends and even stakeholders. 161817 night matches until 10am,” Ms Worsnop said.

Queensland Fruit Fly is now widespread in northern Victoria and is threatening Yarra Valley fruit production. The damage is hard to see at first...

vided by a senior zoologist from Biosis concerning owl species, especially Powerful Owls at the reserve. "This builds on the original Biosis Environmental Assessment 2016, which is included in appendix two of the master plan. "Council is very conscious of the potential impact of human activity on owl breeding and adopted the Powerful Owl Management Procedure in August 2015." Meanwhile, Chandler Ward councillor, Tony Stevenson, said the master plan showed how council had considered the needs of all stakeholders involved in the project and how the use of the site could be improved for the community, while continuing to coexist with the wildlife living at the reserve. “Council supports junior and female participation in all sports and we recognise the social, health and fitness benefits of organised sport for everyone,” Cr Stevenson said. “Family friendly clubs like Mount Evelyn create a healthier culture for players, spectators and the community. “We will continue to work with Melbourne Water to increase and pro-

tect vegetation quality along Olinda Creek through the east of the reserve to support the habitat for the Powerful Owls and another wildlife.” Cr Stevenson said recommendations in the report included investing in a study measuring the reproductive success of the owls compared to other published studies and limiting light spill into the forested area if replacement lighting goes ahead. He said the report also recommended that records from future birdmonitoring be submitted to a publicly accessible database such as BirdLife Australia. In addition, the media response highlighted some of the community engagement projects undertaken during the master plan’s development, noting: "Council has undertaken significant community engagement including a survey in early 2016, which helped shaped the draft Mount Evelyn Recreation Reserve Master Plan. "More than 200 submissions on the draft master plan collected during community consultation from December 2016 to February 2017 showed: 88 per cent of respondents said the plan struck the right balance between recreational and environmental needs and issues; 90 per cent of respondents said initiatives would improve walking, cycling and car access to the reserve; 89 per cent said the plan adequately provided for long-term recreational needs of the Mount Evelyn community. "A revised and final master plan has been developed based on this community engagement. "This will be presented at the 12 September council meeting at Montrose Town Centre."

Squad dominated
Wandin's Joel Garner in 2014 after representing Victoria. 126811 Picture: ROB CAREW
By Peter Douglas Eastern Ranges has dominated the TAC Cup Team of the Year for 2017, with five footballers from its Under 18s team last week named in the squad. The offering was the most of any club in the competition, with Geelong Falcons the nearest club with four representatives. Heading the list were Yarra Ranges players and highly touted AFL draft hopefuls Joel Garner (Wandin), Jaidyn Stephenson (Ferntree Gully) and Sam Hayes (Ferntree Gully). Garner was named in a back pocket, with Stephenson on a half-forward flank and Sam Hayes as the number one ruckman. Likely top 10 draftee Adam Cerra (Ring-
wood) and Dylan Moore (Heathmont) were the other Eastern Ranges players to make the team. The TAC Cup Team of the Year was announced on the count of the Morrish Medal, one of the competition’s highest individual honours. In the final leaderboard, top draft prospect Sam Hayes was the only Eastern Ranges’ player in the top 10 for the medal. The emerging ruckman finished in fifth spot with 14 votes, behind leader and Oakleigh Charger Jack Higgins on 22 votes. All of Hayes, Garner and Stephenson were recently invited for this year’s crucial AFL Draft Combine in Melbourne.
The trio will be among 83 players from Australia taking part in the event at Etihad Stadium from 3-6 October. The combine allows AFL clubs to gain a better look at the players’ physical and mental attributes. The trio have all been rated as strong chances of being drafted, with some draftwatchers predicting Stephenson and Hayes could go in the top 10, with Garner predicted as a late first-round or early second-round chance. The Eastern Ranges were due to clash against cross-town rival Dandenong Stingrays in an elimination final at Victoria Park, after the Ranges finished the home and away season in sixth position.
Woodn’t it be lovely The spring 2017 firewood collection season opened across Victoria on Friday 1 September. Yarra District Manager, Nigel Brennan, reminded the community that once again it will be legal to collect firewood in designated areas on public land until Thursday 30 November. But Mr Brennan says it’s best to check before you collect. “Some designated firewood collection areas may not open at the beginning of the spring 2017 firewood season for various reasons, including supply or accessibility due to wet conditions,” he said. Firewood collection is only permitted on public land during designated times of the year. Also, it is illegal to sell firewood collected on public land without an appropriate permit or licence, or to take more than the allowed amount. “You may collect up to two cubic metres of firewood per person, per day, and up to 16 cubic metres per household per year,” Mr Brennan said. More information and updates are available at www.ffm.vic.gov.au.
Let there be lights By Derek Schlennstedt NEW traffic lights will replace the roundabout at Mount Dandenong Tourist Road and Montrose Road to ease the flow of traffic. According to VicRoads, 1900 vehicles an hour use Canterbury Road in peak afternoon times, with most heading towards Mount Dandenong and the Yarra Valley. The new intersection will have traffic lights and will also comprise three lanes heading outbound, two lanes turning right from Canterbury road onto Mount Dandenong Tourist road, as well as left-turn slip lanes. VicRoads is currently in the design phase of this project and said in their information update on the project that ‘traffic volumes on Canterbury Road are so great that a roundabout is no longer an appropriate way to manage the intersection’.

Art proves a growing love By Derek Schlennstedt A dedicated group of Burrinja volunteers, The Hills Food Frontier (THFF) and garden enthusiasts led by Kate Schumann have developed a sensory garden full of colours, smells, textures and tastes which will open on 22 September. The garden has been a year in the making and the artists were inspired in 2016 to create it. Every week a special cohort of creatives meet at Burrinja for the Burrinja Arties art therapy group to look at what else they can add to the garden. Kate Schumann, instigator of the garden is an avid local gardener whose green thumb glows with her ability to share her joy of gardening. A long-time supporter of the Burrinja Arties Group, Kate had been researching the positive impacts of gardening on health and well-being, and noticed the sensory garden phenomenon in early 2016. “Being in a garden gives me a great sense of peace and connection. “I just couldn’t imagine not having the grounded feeling I get from being among plants.” “The Arties is a lovely group which this year has been making art, for them-selves and for the garden, with the theme of Mother Earth. “I love that through the garden they are getting that nourishing connection with nature and love that their artwork in the garden is finding con-
nections with the wider Burrinja community," Kate said. With the support of numerous working bees, plant donations, care from volunteers as well as community grants from Yarra Ranges Council and Burrinja, the Arties' sensory garden is now budding with the promise of a full summer bloom. The sensory garden has become the central focus of the Arties' creative development and has them making art from, with, and in the garden. These creative contributions to the sensory experience are evolving with clay tiles, painted trellises and mobiles making up just some of the garden design. As the seasons change, visitors to the sensory garden are invited to participate in different creative projects including a large circular weaving wheel, a ‘framed in the garden’ portrait project and a stone fairy house. “For the Burrinja Arties participants, who live in challenging circumstances, the garden offers a sense of belonging and place at Burrinja,” Arties co-ordinator Lynette Forrest, Master of Creative Arts Therapy, said. “As we harvest tomatoes, passionfruit and herbs, and pass them around the art table, the Arties are learning to taste, trust and experience variety and sensations through the seasons of the garden.” Members of the public are invited to come to the launch of the garden on 22 September from 10am-12noon.
The Arties working in the sensory garden which will be open to visitors on 22 September.
Creativity set to bloom By Derek Schlennstedt Budding creatives at Yarra Hills Secondary College are enjoying the opportunity to display their work alongside practising artists from across Australia. The community can view and buy artworks for sale at The Yarra Hills Community Art Show from Friday 15 to 17 September at the school’s Mount Evelyn campus. Students can also enter artworks created independently
outside of school hours in the artist section of the show. Some have received major awards and been commissioned to create further works. Visual Arts and Technology Co-ordinator Katya Barnes said the art show often launched students into a career within the arts industry. “This festival helps show the students how to become an artist within the community,” Ms Barnes said.
“We’ve had kids sell their work and they have had work commissioned.” Three school students had their work displayed at Linden Gate Gallery at Yarra Glen earlier this year. Everyone is invited to attend for a gold coin donation to the Lilydale Rotary Club. Yarra Hills Community Art Show will run from 15-17 September at Yarra Hills Secondary College.

Open to the the people, with plants A passionate Montrose plant collector is opening up their native garden, Warooka, on the weekend of 23 and 24 September. Adjoining the Dandenong Ranges National Park, the garden is nestled amid eucalypts, with the owner taming a steep site with native plants that spill over dry stone walls and winding plants. The property is just under one acre and was purchased in 1988. About 15 years ago, landscape designer Paul Thompson developed a design with a winding path and steps to make the steep front garden more accessible from the driveway. Today, there are beautifully linked pools that fit as if they were naturally formed between large rocks. For guests and garden enthusiasts, the owner will share their knowledge of the garden during guided walks at 11am and 2pm on each day. There are plenty of open, inviting
The less depressing Logan Logan Lucky (M) Starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig
Garden enthusiasts can take home some inspiration. 172508 spaces for visitors to sit and soak up the garden. Warooka is located at 17 Jubilee Road, Montrose. Entry is $8 (children under 18 are free; students $5). Available: refreshments, sales of native plants and a range of unusual and uncommon bulbs. Proceeds will go towards the Montrose CFA. For more information, and details on other open gardens, visit www.opengardensvictoria.org.au.
The owner will share their knowledge of the lovingly crafted garden. 172508
Logan Lucky sees director Steven Soderbergh return to familiar heist-related territory, but with a distinctly Southern twist. After being fired from his job, construction worker Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) hatches a plan with his bartender brother Clyde (Adam Driver) to rob the betting vault of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. They need an explosives expert, but he’s in jail. In Logan Lucky, acting and dialogue work front and centre to create a compelling and funny escapade. The performances are lively and moving, and Tatum and Driver have outstanding chemistry as adversarial yet loving brothers. Daniel Craig steals the show by
acting vastly against type, nailing the Carolina accent as Joe Bang, a wry incarcerated explosives expert. The dialogue crackles with down-to-earth wit, with many laugh-out-loud moments. The film derives some of its humour from its small-town redneck setting, but never in a condescending fashion; even the stereotypical yokel supporting characters have added dimensions of confidence and craftiness. Drawn in by such engaging character interplay, it’s gratifying to watch the brothers’ plan steadily come together, and Soderbergh generates both laughs and strong suspense from their risky heist. Complex yet accessible, funny and touching, Logan Lucky is one of the best and most unique heist films in a long time. - Seth Hynes

Healesville hits hard early By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Division 1 Seniors Semi-Final 1 Healesville 24.9(153) d Wandin 10.9(69) Healesville live to breathe another day and will take on Olinda Ferny Creek in the Preliminary Final next week, while Wandin’s season is all over. Wandin got the early lead in the first quarter, kicking 4.4 to 2.4, but that was the only time they led. Healesville piled on 9.2 to a single goal in the second term and the lead was now in Healesville’s favour by 38 points at half-time. Healesville slammed on another 9.3 to two behinds in the third quarter and it was well and truly game over. Wandin outscored Healesville in the last, kicking 5.3 to four goals but the damage was done and it was all over for Wandin. Healesville Goals: S. Gordon 9, R. Woodford 3, A. Davies 2, M. Jeffery 2, N. Aldridge 2, D. Anderson 2, S. Donkin 1, C. Warren 1, D. Plozza 1, J. Shaw 1 Best: S. Gordon, T. Costigan, M. Jeffery, P. Connell, B. Murphy, C. Warren. Wandin Goals: J. Smith 2, R.

Semi-Final 2 Woori Yallock 16.11(107) d Olinda Ferny Creek 12.7(79) Woori Yallock have justified their minor premiership status and have progressed straight into the Grand Final after accounting for Olinda Ferny Creek, which will now take on Healesville again next week in the Preliminary Final. Olinda Ferny Creek got the early break, kicking 5.1 to 3.3 in the first term and had a lead of 10 points. Woori Yallock bounced back in the second quarter with 4.3 to 2.1 and they snatched the lead at half-time by four points. Woori Yallock had most of the play in the third term and held Olinda to 1.1, but managed 4.3 themselves and their lead was now 24 points. It was a bit of a goal feast in the last but Woori Yallock maintained control with 5.2 to Olinda’s 4.4. Woori Yallock Goals: K. Busoli 6, B. Monkhorst 3, H. Smith 1, J. Williams 1, R. Allen 1, J. Matthews 1, Z. Monkhorst 1, S. Kennedy 1, B. Arnold 1. Best: K. Busoli, C. Smedley, R. Monkhorst, H. Smith, B. Monkhorst, B. Arnold. Olinda Ferny Creek Goals: J. Charge 4, M. Bonuda 3, D.

Division 1 Reserves Semi-Final 1 Wandin 3.12(30) d Mount Evelyn 4.3(27) In a low-scoring affair, Wandin have held on to take on Healesville next week in a Preliminary Final, while Mount Evelyn’s season has ended. Wandin got the early lead kicking only 1.4 but Mount Evelyn could only manage a single behind. Mount Evelyn rallied in the second term kicking two goals to Wandin’s 1.4 and the lead was seven points at half time to Wandin. The game tightened up even more in the third quarter with Wandin only managing four behinds to Mount Evelyn’s 1.1 and the margin was four points to Wandin. The last quarter was another low scoring 20 min-
utes with one goal apiece being kicked but Wandin snuck home by just three points. Wandin Best: T. Adamson, S. Berner, M. Shanks, C. Foley, N. Crossland, A. Wisby. Mount Evelyn Best: B. Maynard, R. Toughill, J. Arthur, L. Francis, M. Holly, J. Grimwood. Semi-Final 2 Reserves Olinda Ferny Creek 14.4(68) d Healesville 3.8(26) Olinda Ferny Creek have earned themselves a week’s break after winning today and are heading into a Grand Final. Healesville have another chance and will take on Wandin next week in a do or die game. Olinda Ferny Creek got the early advantage by six points at quarter time. They were impressive in the second quarter kicking 4.1 to just two behinds and their lead had blown out to 29 points. Olinda held Healesville goalless in the third term but kicked two goals and their lead was now 41 points. They really opened it up in the last kicking five goals to 1.3 and look forward to the break.

Pictured, from left, with ward councillor, Jake Keogh, are Knox Council staff members Chris Howie, Winchelle Chuson, Ron Crawford and Emil Turudia, Sergeant David Young and St Joseph's College Business Manager, Gerard Burke. 172512 - it’s downright dangerous. “With large numbers of students using this crossing on a daily basis, the potential for a tragic accident becomes all too clear. “Council’s school crossings team and traffic engineers have worked closely with St Joseph’s College to introduce safe traffic movement systems for students and parents. “This is in addition to the safety audit that council officers have conducted here today. “We need to get the message across that, at these locations in particular, drivers need to exercise appropriate care and restraint to ensure that they and everyone who uses our school crossings can get home safely.” For more information about school crossing safety, visit www. knox.vic.gov.au or contact council’s school crossings team on (03) 9298 8000.

After a recent series of escalating incidents in Ferntree Gully, Knox Council has issued a warning to drivers to respect the road rules in the vicinity of school crossings. Cr Jake Keogh said council was concerned about the safety of students and its supervisors at the Glenfern and Brenock Park Drive school crossings. “A recent near-miss at the Glenfern Road school crossing has put the issue of the safety of students and our school crossing supervisors firmly on the agenda,” Cr Keogh said. “This is serious - we haven’t had a tragedy on our hands yet - however, there are real concerns that unless people start heeding road rules around school crossings, then the unthinkable might just happen. “The Glenfern Road crossing is very busy, with a high volume of traffic during peak times, and it only takes one instance of reckless driving to endanger the safety of students and our supervisors. “School crossings exist for a reason and we need people to stop and think through the consequences of their actions - for the sake of 30 seconds you could ruin yours and someone else’s life.” Council has conducted a safety audit at the Glenfern Road and Brenock Park Drive crossings, with a view to implementing potential measures to improve safety at both locations. This includes advocacy to VicRoads for the potential installation of pedestrian traffic signals at both crossings. Cr Keogh said the Brenock Park Drive crossing is the busiest school crossing in Knox, with about 300400 students using the crossing during peak times (before and after school). “While the most recent and serious incident occurred at the Glenfern Road crossing, Brenock Park Drive has the highest number of drive-throughs of any crossing in Knox - about two per shift,” he said. “Brenock Park Drive is a wide road, with one lane in each direction, however, when faced with turning vehicles, as often occurs, many drivers are creating an extra lane in an attempt to get past. “This is not just illegal behaviour
