End of eagle era By Kath Gannaway Jess, Healesville Sanctuary's majestic Wedgetailed Eagle has soared for the last time. A remarkable bird who called the Sanctuary home for more than 40 years, he was one of the oldest Wedge-tailed Eagles in captivity in the world and lived well beyond average life expectancy. Over the years he had captured the hearts of millions of people who saw him fly in the Bird of Prey and Spirits of the Sky presentations, of the Sanctuary staff and volunteers, and in particular of the keepers who worked so closely with him over the decades. He became famous as one of the Sanctuary's most iconic residents, featuring on a postage stamp and in the film Healing and on Wolf Blass wine bottle labels. He was the symbolic embodiment of Bunjil the Eagle whose story is told by Wurrundjeri Elder Murrundindi at the beginning of each Spirit of the Sky presentation. Murrindindi was joined by Sanctuary Director Ross Williamson and staff members on Friday, 20 July, for an Indigenous farewell ceremony in the Coranderrk bushland. Standing beneath tall gums, in a sacred place, it was an emotional tribute to an old friend. Murrundindi performed a smoking ceremony and invited the keepers to place a blossom of wattle. "This will give him safe journey to the spirit land," he said speaking of the special he had in his heart for Jess. "He is very special to me; he is the creator of our land and of our people," he said. Retired keeper Kevin Mason worked with Jess from the day he arrived at the Sanctuary as a young bird. He said he was raised from an eaglet by Graham Carkeek who worked at the Sanctuary in David Fleay's time and who reared him initially at his home. When it became illegal to keep raptors, more than 40 years ago, Mr Carkeek took him to the Sanctuary. Kevin was the main raptor keeper, along with Tom Wynne at that time.

A recent photo of Jess with keeper James Goodridge. 183189 "I looked after him for five or six days a week and the bonding was so strong I couldn't believe it," he said. "He would give his eagle call to you of a morning when he saw you coming, it was his 'good morning ... good to see you' sort of thing. "You could go into the enclosure and he would flop on your chest, groom your hair and nibble your ears and talk to you all the time." Kevin said eagles mate for life and there were many instances which highlighted the strong bond they form. "You started to think animals really have feelings and that you are not just looking after an animal, but you have to start thinking like

an animal and understand their behaviour in the wild," he said. "As humans, we seem to think it's just us, but it certainly is not, with animals too, especially those that bond for a long time, there are feelings and a deep connection." Keeper Jason Bell described Jess as an incredibly trustworthy bird, with a particular soft spot for those he engaged with regularly. "Jess displayed genuine affection for his keepers and there was something quite exceptional about seeing a formidable bird of prey seek out his keeper for a chin scratch or a back rub," he said. Kevin also paid tribute to Jess's role as an ambassador, including his role as the awe-

inspiring go-to for hundreds of world-famous visitors to the Sanctuary. Jason said Jess worked right up to the end, passing away shortly after another spectacular presentation on Thursday, 12 July. A spokesperson for the Sanctuary said Jess had given staff, volunteers and visitors a sense of wonder for more than 40 years. "He will be deeply missed after passing away last week of aged-related causes, but we take comfort in the long and rich life Jess lived in our care."

A Woori Yallock local heard sirens on Tuesday 17 July and gave us a call. They suspected a car crash - there were lots of sirens - but wondered if we knew exactly what was happening. Within a few minute we'd spoken with CFA and Ambulance Victoria and used our Facebook page to advise people to avoid the Warburton Highway scene. We went to the scene, knowing that someone had been trapped in one of the vehicles involved but not knowing what we'd witness. We took photographs, mindful not to identify the cars involved or capture any injured parties at their most vulnerable. Later that day and over the course of the following day, once the dust had settled, we spoke again with emergency services to paint a fuller picture of what happened. We walk a constant tightrope as we try to keep the community informed while protecting people's privacy. If we say too much, our readers are understandably concerned about invading private moments. If we say too little, the community calls out for more details or speculates, sometimes spreading misinformation. In this case we were lucky, too, that an alert community member thought to seek information from a reliable source their local newspaper. Social media has made it possible for individuals and groups to communicate directly but that information is unchecked. So reach out to us. We want to start and participate in conversations for the community's benefit. - Casey Neill

SWING MAN COMES TO THE MONTROSE TOWN CENTRE… WIN TICKETS! Comedian Damian Callinan is returning with a new show about taking (mid)life by the horns - Swing Man. He set himself one goal to achieve before he turned 50: learn to swing dance! Result: he owns professional dance shoes but still can’t swing dance. As far as unfulfilled life goals go, it’s no modern-day tragedy, but when you selectively narrow your life goals down to one thing and you don’t do it, it’s time for revision. What else has Damo left off his list of

goals? Can he meet his revised target of learning to swing dance by 51? Are his dance shoes tax deductible? The Mail News Group is offering two double tickets for Swing Man at the Montrose Town Centre on Thursday 9 August at 8pm. To enter, visit mailcommunity.com.au/ competitions.

Pipeline not in plan By Kath Gannaway Yarra Ranges Council and local growers will continue to look for funding opportunities for the Coldstream Recycled Water Pipeline following notification that the project failed to get funding under the Federal Government's National Water Infrastructure Program. The Council, Casey MP Tony Smith and Agribusiness Yarra Valley had advocated strongly for the pipeline which was first mooted 15 years ago as a way of providing water security primarily in the Coldstream and Gruyere areas. The pipeline scheme would supply recycled water from Yarra Valley Water's plant at Lilydale through a 20km pipeline at a cost of approximately $6 million to twenty growers that are leading employers in the region from the

strawberry and wine grape industries. Cr Jim Child said while the announcement that the project had not been successful was disappointing, all the research and work that had gone into developing the feasibility study and lobbing would not be wasted. "We have all that there and will be looking for (funding) opportunities in the future," he said. Cr Child said water security for the Yarra Valley was very important. "Especially around that area where the pipeline will be, there are limited ways growers can access water. There are farm dams, and some have pumping rights from the Yarra, but it's still not sufficient and we need some way of maintaining that integrity at times when water

is needed." Cr Child said the other important aspect of the proposal was the 18,000 megalitres of bclass, treated water that goes into the Olinda Creek and on to the Yarra River from the Lilydale waste water plant. "If we can divert that towards Coldstream and Gruyere to go into those off stream dams to be stored for use when it is needed, you have a much better outcome," he said. Agribusiness Yarra Valley Chair Clive Larkman said the pipeline was about planning for the future. "It seems stupid to have perfectly good water going down the river," he said. He said Agribusiness would keep advocating for the project.

What duffers By Kath Gannaway Criminals preying on farmers will have more police to answer to if the Liberal Government is elected in November according to State Liberal Member for Eildon Cindy McLeish. Ms McLeish announced last week that a Liberal Government would establish a new Livestock and Rural Crime Squad to specialise in dealing with rural crime including farm and livestock theft. "Stock theft is becoming a huge business for criminals and its hurting hard working families on the land," Ms McLeish said. "That's why a Liberal Government will take action on farm and livestock thefts to help protect local businesses." The proposed Livestock and Rural Crime Squad would be based throughout regional Victoria with Victoria Police informing the final operational structure of the specialist unit. Ms McLeish said the program would include the creation of 20 new specialist rural crime investigators, boosting currently dedicated rural crime police numbers by 40 per cent. She said the 20 new investigation positions would merge with the existing Livestock and Farm Crime Specialist Group and the 48 Agricultural Liaison Officers (AGLOs) to create the new Livestock and Rural Crime Squad. Ms McLeish claimed stock theft had risen by 40% in 2017 and that between April 2017 and March 2018 there had been 232 instances of 'Burglary/Break and Enter' and 'Theft' offences recorded where livestock were stolen. "Just 10 of these crimes resulted in an arrest or summons," she said. "A Liberal Government will send a strong message to potential criminals that if they are thinking about farm and livestock theft you will get caught and you will get punished." Labor Police Minister Lisa Neville responded, saying "There are already more than 70 specialist Agricultural Liaison Officers who work hand-in-hand with the crime intelligence units to prevent and solve crime."

Police are seeking information relating to an incident along Maroondah Highway, Healesville where a driver attempted a burnout and lost control.

Burnout ends in Queens Park By Derek Schlennstedt Healesville police are seeking footage and information regarding a car that drove down the embankment at Queens Park on 20 July. Police report that at 11:30am on 20 July, a male driving a blue Ford Falcon XR6 attempted a burnout along Maroondah Highway, and has lost control ending up down the embank-

ment at Queen's park just past the turn-off to Badger Creek Road. The vehicle was travelling through Healesville towards Beechworth Bakery, and following the crash the driver has left the scene. Police are still investigating and anyone with information or dash cam footage is urged to contact Healesville Police on 5962 4422

A Lilydale affordable housing project received a $200,000 boost. On Wednesday 18 July, the Housing, Disability and Ageing Minister Martin Foley announced the Social Housing Investment Planning (SHIP) grant. The State Government cash will help Yarra Ranges Council to further plan a development pegged for 67-69 Anderson Street. Neal Taylor from charity Holy Fools said the news was fantastic and the need for affordable housing was "huge". He said about 400 people were homeless in the area. "There are others stuck in transition housing or living in bad conditions because there's nowhere for them to go," he said. "We need affordable housing desperately, not only for the homeless we've got but a number of other people living on the razor's edge of homelessness." The council's social and economic development director, Ali Wastie, said the land was surplus to the council's needs and near transport, the town's activity centre, education and job opportunities. "Community feedback raised suggestions about parking, a reduction in the number of units and ensuring the proposal would add value to the Lilydale community," she said. Ms Wastie said the SHIP grant would allow the council to consider the viability of a smaller development, undertake detailed studies into parking and traffic, develop more detailed plans, seek expressions of interest from a suitable housing association or provider, and engage further with the community.

On Saturday 21 July at 6.25pm, Lilydale divisional van members responded to reports from concerned members of the public and attended the intersection of Maroondah Hwy and Victoria Rd, Lilydale. A 52-year-old male driver subsequently accompanied police members to a police station where he returned an evidentiary breath test reading of 0.188. The man’s licence was immediately suspended and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1,017. He will be charged on summons in relation to drink-driving. When his licence is restored, he will have to fit an alcohol interlock to any car he drives.

Backs can spell trouble Will my disc ever heal? If you’ve ever had, or currently have, a disc injury to your lower back, you will understand why physiotherapists are often asked this question. There are two main mechanisms by which discs can create pain: annular injury and protrusion/extrusion. Annular injuries are typically degenerative in nature, though can also be the result of trauma. Prior to the 1950s the tiny nerves that supply the outer fibres of the disc (annulus) had never been seen, thus the disc itself was thought to be insensitive to pain. We now know that the disc can be a source of pain, that this pain is poorly localised due to an

When an extruded or protruded lower back disc comes into contact with the descending spinal nerves, unrelenting and often severe pain into the legs, as well as sensory changes and muscle weakness, can occur. And there is a common misconception that if material from a disc is pressing against nerve tissue then it never heals. Fake news. The natural process of the human body to clean up the extruded material from the disc is called resorption and the pace at which this occurs can vary between individuals. Resorption rate is affected by genetics, systemic health, smoking and the continuance of aggravating postures or activities.

The most hopeful part about this information is that surgery to remove the disc material is no longer indicated as an early treatment measure in most cases, as we know that the material will resorb over time. Surgery should be urgently considered for a disc extrusion or protrusion if there is a change in bowel or bladder function (incontinence or retention) or numbness in the saddle area. Otherwise, surgery is indicated only if progressive weakness of leg muscles is occurring and numbness is evident in the skin of the leg; and/or the pain is not manageable with conservative care.

IN BRIEF

TRIP is a life-saver By Kath Gannaway It's no co-incidence that the TRIP (Teenage Road Information Program) is held at Heritage & Heritage Funerals in Woori Yallock. Many, hopefully most, of the young people who attend TRIP each year will not have attended the funeral of a friend or relative killed on the road. The sad thing is that too many will have, and those in the local emergency services will also have played a role. The combined Yarra Valley emergency services - CFA, SES, Police and Ambulance - will present the fifth TRIP on Wednesday, 1 August, and the target audience is 16 to 25 year-olds and their parents. Hillcrest CFA Captain Fiona Burns and Warburton Police Sergeant Tom Wilkinson are on the committee which dedicates months of planning to the program. Capt Burns said although TRIP is primarily aimed at changing teenage driving behaviour, most adults walk away reassessing their own driving behaviour. "The program gives an in-depth insight into what happens to road crash victims and the aftermath from injuries and fatalities," Capt Burns said. "It is designed to be a hard hitting presentation by the very people who attend the crash scene and know first-hand the devastation caused." The program addresses identified risks of alcohol, drugs, speed, inexperience, distraction and peer group pressure and provides information and example of how to change behaviour. Speakers provide real life personal examples of the short and long term effects of road trauma. Addressing concerns about the graphic nature of the program, Capt Burns said the program is not about traumatising or scaring young people.

TRIP members (from left) Sgt Tom Wilkinson (Warburton Police), Andrea Bigham (Gruyere CFA), Cameron McDonald (SES), Amanda Gibson (Bendigo Bank Worri Yallock), Jackie Butler (Wandin Seville Bendigo Bank), Fiona Burns (Hillcrest CFA), Gayle Burgi (AFL Yarra Ranges) and Frank Cummane (Ambulance Victoria Area Manager).183098 "It's not blood, guts and gore - they can see that on a video game. It is confronting but living with the trauma of a road crash is more confronting. "We want it to be thought provoking. We want them to have conversations with family, friends and mates and to help their mates out and make the right decisions." Sgt Wilkinson said the growth of TRIP shows there is a need and an appetite for it in the Yarra Valley. The first TRIP was held in 2011. "Our expectation for the first TRIP was if we had 50 turn up we would be over the moon," he said.

"We had 300 people turn up and more than 500 people last year. "These numbers show that the community has concerns, are passionate about saving the lives of our local young people and are embracing this," he said. TRIP is sponsored by the Wandin/Seville and Woori Yallock Community Bank Branches of Bendigo Bank. The 2018 Yarra Valley Emergency Services TRIP will be held on Wednesday, 1 August starting at 6.30pm at Heritage & Heritage Funerals in Healesville Kooweerup Road, Woori Yallock.

New loos for Dixons Creek A new disability-accessible toilet will be available for Dixons Creek residents and visitors following construction works to be completed next month. Yarra Ranges Council is building the loos at the Dixons Creek Reserve to replace the current block. There'll be an accessible toilet with baby change table, two unisex ambulant toilets and one standard unisex toilet. Mayor Len Cox said it wasn't just open spaces to walk a dog or equipment for kids to pay on that made parks great. "It's also about having high quality and accessible facilities, which this project will help provide," he said. "This new toilet block will be better for managing vandalism and graffiti, more accessible for people living with disability and better quality for Dixons Creek's residents and visitors." The building will be made with Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and materials used in the construction will make removing any graffiti easier. Construction works started on 19 July with demolition of the old toilets, and are expected to be completed by mid-August. During construction, public toilets are located at Yarra Glen's McKenzie Reserve on the corner of Anzac Avenue and Bell Street.

Power outages across the Valley More than 1,200 houses were without power on Thursday 19 July due to unplanned power outages from Dixons Creek through to Coldstream and Healesville. Ausnet’s outage tracker showed 872 houses affected in Yarra Glen, with 222 in Dixons Creek, seven in Steels Creek, 33 in Yering, 37 in Coldstream, 45 in Tarrawarra and 43 in Healesville. The cause of the outages was under investigation with estimated restoration times between 8pm and 10.30pm. An Ausnet spokesperson told the Mail power was being progressively being switched back on.

LETTERS Station's a 'monstrosity' I read with interest the description of the new Warburton Police Station currently under construction. What a shame that such a monstrosity of a building was allowed to be built on the most prominent site in Warburton. The new police station detracts from the historical character of nearby buildings, and the main street. I do not deny that the local police deserve better accommodation and working conditions than they have had in the past, but do they really need the best north-facing views in town? The elongated grey brick facade, perched on the top of a hill is reminiscent of 'bluestone college' Coburg! The dominance of the new police station sends a very strong message that you have entered a law enforcement town. Wouldn't it be better to greet visitors with a warm welcome that encourages them to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings? There are a number of alternative locations along the Warburton Highway where the police station could have been sited to allow easy access by and to the community. This is a missed opportunity that will only be rectified by a Heritage Overlay Area being applied to the main street of Warburton - similar to the success story of Maldon in Central Victoria. Otherwise we will continue to have buildings that destroy the historical charm and character of the town and scar the streetscape forever. Roslyn Bodin, Warburton.

Hotton's Haining account 'accurate' Sue Hotton's 'Horner gets the nod' on 3 July is

an accurate account of the ongoing Haining saga. Government records and reports detailing the gift of Haining Farm, backed up by press releases from the Premier's office outweigh Kate Warne's childhood recollection of an event which occurred in 1974. As many in the community are aware, the Haining Farm Working Group was a direct result of the Yarra Waterways Group involvement with DELWP back in 2016, we were not prepared to support the original Greening Australia Plan for Haining Farm without any public consultation, repeating the 2013 flawed VEAC investigation. DELWP's Kelly Crosthwaite agreed, and the working group was formed with YWG involvement. YWG membership is diverse, many members do not have Crown River Reserves adjacent to their properties, most never had grazing licences, but the majority who are fortunate to have stream frontages look after this land, we take our role us "custodians" very seriously, likewise any potential increase in bushfire risk. When I purchased my property in Don Valley in 1960, the river frontage was hidden by huge crops of blackberries. Hundreds of hours later the pure beauty of the crown frontage is now exposed. Fortunately my neighbours also maintain their frontages, unlike Kate Warne's blackberry-infested property downstream. The opinions of the serving CFA captains on the bushfire assessment is well-known within the CFA, and had Kate Warne's membership of the CFA not been terminated, she would be aware of their concerns. Many people in Don Valley and the surrounding towns have great difficulty in accepting the advice that the planting of 315,000 trees and shrubs will not increase the regions bushfire risk. Susan Hotton does not need to be a member of the Haining working group to express

her opinion on this important issue. Rick Houlihan, Don Valley.

It wood be good Recently CIRE Community House in Yarra Junction had a free wood pick-up beside Yarra Junction Museum. Great idea, but it was only advertised on social media on the Cire website. There were no signs up anywhere to inform those members of the community without phones, computers or laptops and not everyone views the Cire website.

Even if they do have the ability to view it, the NBN in places has limited coverage in the Yarra Valley and as for mobile phones, there are still many black spots in the valley. For the benefit of all members of the community, signs would also be a good way to inform people without phones or computers. Also, many people cannot afford to be techsavvy in the valley and their welfare is as important as any other people with the ability to access the internet and other technology. So, in short, more signs please!! Bruce Kilby, Woori Yallock.

Positively life-saving By Kath Gannaway When someone walks up to Neil Milton and asks “what’s that all about?” or tells him “I really need to read that today,” it’s opening a conversation that the Healesville father-of-three says we need a lot more of. Neil started Positive T-Shirts in 2016 and it’s the messages on each T-shirt or hoodie that prompts that response. He was in between jobs and says he had always wanted to start a clothing brand. “There was so much negative messaging on people’s clothing, I wanted to change the game. “I started the Positive brand in the hope we could change the statistics around youth suicide, bring a positive spin on clothing and get people taking about youth suicide,” said Neil, who has worked with young people for 16 years. In that time he has seen the devastation to families, friends and the community from youth suicide. When he was 20 he witnessed someone end their life. It had a life-changing impact. The messages are simple, from Beautiful and I’m Yours to more compelling messages including Don’t Lose Hope, Love Your Life, Anything is Possible and Embrace Life. A new T-shirt with Talk Out Loud, just released, is in memory of a young man who suicided last year in the Maroondah area. Neil said each garment had a story attached in the hope of inspiring people, and getting them talking. “I’ve been wearing my street clothes and people come up and say ‘I really need to read that today’. “They’ll ask ‘Don’t Lose Hope ... what’s that about? “They begin a conversation - ‘my son

passed away’ or ‘someone in my school did’, or they’ll say ‘to be honest I’m really struggling, I need some help’. “It opens up the conversation; woven into the fabric of every piece of cloth is the opportunity to start a conversation about youth suicide,” he said. The statistics are chilling, and Neil said the suicide rate in Yarra Ranges and Maroondah was high. Nationally, suicide rates for 15 to 24-yearolds are the highest in 10 years. A third of all deaths of young men are due to suicide; twice as many 15 to 19-year-old women died by suicide than in 2005; 41,000 young people aged 12 to 17 have made a suicide attempt; and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, LGBTIQ, and seriously mentally ill youth are at high risk. Profits from the sale of Positive garments, which include baby rompers to T-shirts and hoodies, go to youth suicide prevention organisation In2Life. “I want people to choose my brand, not just because it looks great, but because of the cause,” Neil said. “If we can get more people wearing these products, more people talking about the messages, about suicide, maybe we could save some lives.” Visit www.positivetshirts.com.au for the Positive story, the garment lines and to order. Healesville Junior Football Club, where Neil is a committee member, will have a speaker from In2Life address each team at the club’s final home match for the season on Sunday 29 July.

Lilydale arrests in drug raid Police executed a warrant in Lilydale as part of a long-running investigation into alleged drug-trafficking in licensed venues. Melbourne Divisional Response Unit detectives executed search warrants about 5am on Tuesday 17 July in Lilydale, Wantirna and Northcote. They arrested four men and seized drugs, including cocaine, as well as cash. Detective Inspector Stephen Cooper said there was no room for illicit drug trading within the community. "We know the impact illicit drugs can and do have within our society, particularly on our most vulnerable," Det Insp Cooper said. "There is zero tolerance for this type of behaviour and individuals who feel they are above the law. "We will continue focusing our efforts on detecting and stopping those who choose to bring these harmful substances into our streets and licensed venues to ultimately minimise the damage they cause." Two men arrested at the Lilydale address, aged 29 and 30, were assisting police with their inquiries. Police charged the two men arrested at the Northcote address, aged 27 and 30, with trafficking cocaine and possessing cocaine and proceeds of crime. They were bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 6 September.

Their 70 wonderful years By Kath Gannaway For Healesville couple Cliff and Nance Mclaine shared interests and a beautiful family have contributed to 70 wonderful years of marriage. The couple, Cliff 92 and Nance, 91, met when he was 18 and she 17 at a dance at Box Hill Town Hall and were married on 17 July, 1948. They have been dancing ever since - both ballroom and line dancing. Shared interests including tennis, bowling, water-skiing, caravanning around Australia, travelling the world, and of course their family. Cliff and Nance lived in Toolangi for most of their married life, raising their daughters Sheryl and Jennifer, and welcoming over the years a beautiful tribe of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Speaking at a family celebration on 15 July, Sheryl said they could not have had a happier childhood or better parents. "Our home was filled with love, happiness and fun," she said. She said her parents worked hard to provide everything they needed but said life on the farm was very tough at times. "If the potato crop failed we would have no money that season. Even though we didn't have electricity until I was about 15, we were very comfortable. "Mum and dad would always have a warm and cosy home," she said recalling playing Chinese checkers and sitting in front of the fire, Cliff knitting his own work jumpers and both of them doing embroidery. Cliff and Nance received messages from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Governor

Most important of all were the wishes of family and friends at their anniversary lunch. Sheryl said they are all so proud of Cliff and Nance.

70 wonderful years for Cliff and Nance.

Kim was recognised as someone who is generous in sharing her culture as an artist and through schools, cultural days and community events.

THREE ‌ things to keep in mind when burning off

1

The Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) warned that household or farm waste such as silage wrap, chemical containers or old tyres wouldn't burn properly and would produce large amounts of smoke. These items should instead be sent to a properly-managed landfill or recycler.

2

Fallen trees or other natural wood being burnt should be as dry as possible and not freshly cut, to keep down the volume of smoke. Timber that has been used in a building, furniture or other manufactured product must not be burnt.

3

The EPA said anyone burning off should pay attention to the weather, making sure they minimise the impact of smoke on neighbouring properties and have sufficient water ready to extinguish the fire if conditions change or the smoke gets out of hand.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

Students in waste war Don Valley Primary students have declared a War on Waste. Teacher Kate Weston said they were fascinated by the fact that plastic take 500 or more year to biodegrade. They took inspiration from the ABC television series of the same name and declared their own War on Waste. Pairs of students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 came up with sustainability projects and are now completing them. Ms Weston said the entire school - all 39 pupils - brought more than 2000 grey plastic supermarket bags in for recycling. "We will walk around our local area, Don Valley, and down to the local creek to collect as much rubbish as we can, preventing it from blowing into waterways and the ocean," she said. "We have printed our very own, limitededition reusable calico bags for our school community to use, to replace plastic bags. "One of our parents, Brad from YV Signs, donated his time and resources to help us print them." The school has revamped its bins to encourage recycling and added a compost system. "Some of our students have written news-

The plastic bags for recycling. letter articles to educate our parents and families about how to recycle at home," Ms Weston said. She said students were determined to eliminate plastic wrap, and heard from the mum of a past student about reusable Agreena Wraps. "We will also investigate how to make bees wax wraps to replace plastic wrap," she said. "Another two students held a No Waste Wednesday, where students and teachers brought food to school without packaging."

Healesville last week lost Maurie Gray and Rev Dipaloko, two men who loved their community and who earned the admiration and respect of many in it. Maurie was a true gentleman and Healesville’s favourite butcher for more than 30 years. A charter member of the Lions Club of Healesville, he had been a member for 57 years. Maurie passed away, age 87, after a long illness on Saturday 14 July with his family by his side. A service was held on Monday 23 July. Rev came to Healesville more than 15 years ago as a political refugee from Burma and made it his home. He embraced any opportunity to play a role in the democracy he valued as an Australian, regularly attended ceremonies such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, rallies and other events that needed a voice for a cause he believed in. Rev passed away, aged 76, on 18 July. Details of a memorial service will be announced once finalised. The Mail will pay tribute to Maurie and Rev in the coming weeks.

Well, now it seems it has finally been picked up and alas is no longer there to greet those who drive into Healesville.

Damian transforms into a swing dancer from the USA deep-south and a French dance specialist. "I'm so used to performing on my own it's like muscle memory," he said.

By Casey Neill Comedian Damian Callinan is dancing his way around Australia and swinging by Montrose on the way. "I've been a full-time comedian and performer for just over 20 years now but prior to that I was a school teacher, so I was in the one room all day every day," he said. "I now probably spend about four months of the year on the road." He was last in Montrose about five years ago, he told the Mail. "I think I was actually there with my show The Merger, which is the story of a country footy club that recruits refugees," he said. Two days after Montrose show the film adaption of the show will premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The Merger was a one-man show where Da-

thought it was a normal thing. "We'd talk in accents over the dinner table. "Later on I realised not everyone got their dad to read to them, and not everyone talks in accents." Dancing has also come naturally to Damian. "I did previously do a show called Cave to the Rave," he said. "It's more about the sociology of the dance floor and culminates with a story about me dancing at a party in the Dandenong Ranges. "I'd never learnt how to partner dance. "I was at a bar in Paris and my wife and I were sitting there and all of a sudden the band changed music. "Swing dancers appeared out of nowhere." He felt admiration and jealousy so sought out lessons when he returned home.

The details sat on the fridge for two years, untouched. "That became the journey of the show," he said. "I learnt the dance and wrote the show at the same time." Dancer Genevieve will join him on stage. "Everything in the show is based slightly on reality but it's kind of an elaborate storytelling," Damian said. He said the part where he's abducted by swing-dancing aliens sets the scene for audiences to not believe a word of the show. "Most of it is kind of real, except for that aspect," he said. Swing Man is on at Montrose Town Centre from 8pm on Thursday 9 August. Visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au for tickets.

"This year we'll have the dinner in the hall first and lantern walk will come later," Sam said. "It will be a bit darker and the lanterns can really shine, and then we'll head back to the hall for desert and tea and more live music." Sam said that the generous support of Bendigo Community Bank Warburton and Yarra Junction, along with Yarra Ranges Council, meant the festival was a free community event and there was an open invitation to all members of the Upper Yarra and Yarra Ranges communities to join in the wonderful winterwarming happenings. To make the most of the festival, remember to rug up (really rug up) because magical as it is in Warburton in winter, it's best enjoyed at this time of the year with warm hands, warm feet and, of course, a warm heart!

By Kath Gannaway Celebrating winter is one of the things Warburton does best and The River of Light Winter Festival is just one of the events that gets locals stepping away from the fireside to enjoy the season.

Jack, captured by Ross Coulter.

Greatest of horror films

Movies at Healesville and Warburton The Memo, Healesville

Artist Ross Coulter says a photograph is always lacking. "It can never capture the entirety of a person's life," he said. "But maybe it's a starting point of a conversation." He's hoping his Corporate Portraits exhibition at Warburton Arts Centre will start plenty. The display is a homecoming for Coulter, who grew up in Millgrove. "When I was a young person I didn't really know so much about art or photography," he said. "I left Millgrove and came to study in Melbourne and developed my art practice over a number of years. "This was about reconnecting to the community "It was a homecoming, connecting people with my art practice." Coulter captured locals in corporate-style headshots. "I'm interested in those people that don't necessarily get them," he said. "It highlights an absence in a form of representation and a form of photography. "The corporate portrait is often considered a standard type of photograph. "I was curious about the people that were missing from that form of representation or putting people through that process because inevitably something else occurs. "The personality of the sitter is greater than the format of the photograph. "What we see presented is not so much the corporate image of the Upper Yarra Valley but the community of the Upper Yarra Valley." Corporate Portraits is on display at Warburton Arts Centre until Tuesday 7 August.

Hereditary, the feature debut of Ari Aster, is the best horror film since The Witch, and possibly the perfect supernatural possession film. After the death of her mother Ellen, miniaturist artist Annie Graham (Toni Collette) begins to suspect that a malevolent spirit is tormenting her family. Jump-scares are an oft-derided scare technique in horror movies; they aren't inherently bad, but they can be a cheap way to elicit fear in the audience. Hereditary has only one single jump-scare in the entire running time, and this alone speaks to Aster's vast confidence and skill as a fledgling horror craftsman. Aster focuses on riveting performances, oppressive atmosphere and vice-like tension.

Anchored by a stoic, heartbreaking performance from Collette, Hereditary starkly explores the alienating effects of grief and the stigma mental illness can carry. A steady drip of grim intrigue and macabre imagery ramps up the suspense to unbearable levels, and the narrative contains some masterful foreshadowing and shocking twists. Comparing Hereditary to similar films, The Exorcist is a great, foundational horror film in the demonic possession sub-genre, but does have a dragging, unnecessary prologue, and chilling Australian masterpiece The Babadook has a somewhat implausibly happy ending. Hereditary is a taut, totally consistent and consistently horrifying experience.

2 homes, 2 sets of rent, loads of options! What a ripper opportunity this one is! Two homes, 2 sets of rent and both with an upside for putting your own touch on. Perched just above the Little Yarra River, in a very picturesque location the homes both have their own private yards and have their own character and charm. The front house has 2 bedrooms, lovely hardwood looring, a big timber kitchen, wood heating and a spacious bathroom and is currently periodically rented for $220 PW. The rear house has 1 bedroom, timber kitchen, and has been externally re-vamped and is also periodically rented for $180 PW. Both homes are in need of some updating, and will come up a treat with a little TLC. Ideal for someone to live in the front and rent the back for a bit of help with the mortgage, or alternatively an ideal set up for relatives to live on the same block in separate homes…..or just buy it as an investment and rent out both!

Shooters beat chill By John Wood On arrival at the Woods Point Gun Club on Saturday 21 July, the temperature was one degree. By the start of the Matlock Championships on Sunday it was a balmy six degrees, no rain but overcast. Not much snow was about and it was quite summery actually, but the conditions ensured that none of the 29 shooters who rolled up shot a perfect score in any event on the day. They started with a five pair double rise eye opener - two targets released simultaneously, only one shot allowed at each target. Five shooters shared the cash prizes: Allan Kidd and Andrew Brady in AA grade, 8/10; Ken Skinner in A grade, 8/10; and Shawn Wood in B grade, 9/10. Tom Apps claimed C grade with 7/10. In the first of the championships,15 pair double rise, Mick Ward returned to the clubhouse with 26/30 to claim the sash outright and AA grade prize as well. Trevor Ewert shot off with Daniel Chinn for AA grade second with Ewert winning, 32/40. A grade was a clear win for Ken Skinner, 24/30, with Jim West second, 22/30, while Peter Lang cleaned up B grade, 21/30, followed by Shawn Wood, 25/40, after a shoot-off with Chuck Lay. Kirsten Chinn’s 21/30 was enough to win C grade from Tom Apps 20/30. The main event was a 30 target medley championship. The championship trophies were gold and silver belt buckles purchased from the USA and quite unique in Australia. Megan Boast was one target from a perfect score and her 49/50 was enough to take the overall trophy outright. Trevor Ewert, Mitch Dunnachie and An-

Chuck Lay, Mitch Dunnachie, Andrew Brady, Mick Ward, Allan Kidd and Kirsten Chinn. drew Brady went into a shoot-off for AA grade with Dunnachie winning the grade buckle, 106/108, from Brady second, 105/108. A grade was a clear win for Allan Kidd, 46/50, with Marty McLaughlin having to fight off David Frazer and Jim West to take second place, 69/75. Chuck Lay won the B grade buckle outright, 45/50, Shawn Wood second, 41/50. Kirsten Chinn was thrilled to receive the C grade buckle after scoring 39/50 while Tom Apps went into a shoot-off with new junior member Mitchell Russell to take second place prize, 60/75. The day finished with a 20 target continental championship and shot points decision with three points for a first shot hit and two points for a second shot hit. Missing both shots earned zero points. Andrew Brady shot a great 59/60 to take the championship sash, Robert Bevis second, 56/60. Troy Grimes, Jim West, Phillip Desmond and Ken Skinner went into a shoot-off for the minor places with Grimes eventually taking third place, 79/84, Skinner fourth, 78/84. The overall high gun was won by Andrew

Megan Boast with sponsor Geoff Hill, who was absent due to a hand operation.

Warburton Golf's competition on Wednesday 18 July was a four-ball better ball stableford - a strange name for an event played by a team of two. The best score of the pair went on the card to be totalled at the end of the round. The winners were Noel Hyndman and Alan Johnston, who combined to score 45 stableford points. Alan thanked Noel for "carrying" him for most of the day. Noel claimed it was his first win in five years. Runners-up were Stan Slusarek and Kevin Conway with 44 stableford points. Players who scored 40 points or more won a ball in the ball run down. Nearest the pin went to Kevin Conway on the 9th, Ray 'Happy' Gilmore on the 12th and Trevor 'It's only an Irish mist' for his second shot on the 11th. The Saturday 21 July event was stableford. Tex Van der Kooi won on a countback from Dave Scott, who continued his hot streak but was pipped at the post. Both players had 37 points. Balls went down to 34. Nearest the pins saw 'Happy' Gilmore have a good day again, winning both the third and the fifth. Andy McMath won on the ninth, Harry Baxter on the difficult 12th and Danny Fox on the 15th. Bill Dunn made a long-awaited return on Sunday after recuperating from an illness. The boys had missed Bill's 'burgers and bangers' and, whilst they won't be seeing any of them for a while, everyone was pleased that Bill was back on deck again.

Fight for the final five By Cameron Hutchison The Yarra Ranges competition has now split, with Division 1 playing Round 12 and Division 2 playing Round 13. Division 1 had no upset winners and the ladder has spread out slightly, but the fight is on in earnest for positions three to five, with four clubs sharing third spot. Division 2 probably has its top three but the final order is still anyone's guess. Four clubs are left fighting for the last two spots, so the last five rounds are going to be important. Division 1 Seniors Football Monbulk 15.15.105 d Emerald 12.11.83 Monbulk is in seventh spot and still an outside chance to make it into the five after a big come-from-behind win. Emerald got the early lead by 10 points at quarter time. They piled on five goals to two in the second and went into them main beak leading by 27 points. Emerald came out flat in the third and could only add three behinds to their score but allowed Monbulk to kick 5.5 to have the lead by five points at the last change. Emerald picked up the pace in the last, but it was all too late. Monbulk best: A. Beck (2 goals), S. Williams, D. Werts, K. Fletcher (3 goals), S. McBride (3 goals), N. McPherson (1 goal). Emerald best: J. Pedder (3 goals), J. Rich (1 goal), L. Sheppard (2 goals), Michael. Dompietro, Matthew Dompietro, J. Bishop.

Olinda got off to a sharp start, kicking 6.3 to 4.4 in the first. Healesville clawed their way back in the second and were only 10 points behind at half time. The third quarter was even and Healesville were well and truly in it, only trailing by 11 points at the last change. It was a bit of a goal feast in the last with nine goals being kicked in all, but Olinda managed to hold their advantage and come away with the win. Olinda Ferny Creek best: L. Taylor (3 goals), M. Hottes, D. Noorda, J. Rankin (3 goals), N. Keegan (2 goals), M. Wright (2 goals). Healesville best: R. Clarke (2 goals), J. McGrath (2 goals), J. Nugent, D. Iacuone, J. Roe-Duggan (1 goal), S. Donkin. Upwey Tecoma 16.15.111 d Mount Evelyn 9.13.67 Upwey sits in third on percentage after a win, with four other clubs nipping at their heels. The first quarter, as predicted, was tight with Upwey having a slim lead of two points at quarter time. Kicking five goals to two in the second quarter had their lead extend out to 15 points to the main break. Upwey came out and continued in the same from as they played in the second and had a lead of 29 points at three quarter time. Mount Evelyn is now sixth and two wins out of the five. Upwey Tecoma best: B. Oates (1 goal), W. Duncan, K. Grenda (3 goals), D. Bell (1 goal), L. Van Mourik, J. Waters (2 goals). Mount Evelyn best: T. Chalkley, R. Fooks, C. Urquhart, A. Gibbons, D.

Both sides kicked four goals in the second and Warburton hung onto a five-point lead at the main break.

MOTORING

Stay safe driving to snow Extreme weather and poor light can make driving dangerous in the winter months. VicRoads said drivers needed to adjust the way they drove, including maintaining a safe distance to the car in front. It takes twice as much distance to stop in the rain. VicRoads said drivers should turn headlights on but in fog or snowy conditions, use fog lights instead of setting headlights on high beam. Drivers who don't have fog lights can use their hazard lights with headlights on low beam. Motorists should avoid large puddles and unnecessary travel in heavy rain. VicRoads said driving in snowy conditions required a lot of concentration and patience. The authority advised drivers to stay calm if they were stuck in a long queue and to always follow road signs and directions by resort staff. Before drivers head to the snow, they should check road conditions through VicRoads online, ensure their car battery is in good condition and that their air-conditioning system is working properly. Anti-freeze is recommended in radiators, and drivers should pack sunglasses for snow glare. Diesel vehicles should fill up with alpine diesel mix, which is available at service stations in the alpine area. Once on the road, drivers should keep two hands on the wheel and steady pressure on the accelerator, brake with steady pressure and avoid braking when cornering. VicRoads said drivers should fit chains to their tyres when advised or if the road looks icy, and engage low gear when driving down a mountain.

Snow chains should be applied only to driving wheels. Drivers should practice fitting chains before their trip, and only fit them to driving wheels. They should fit chains at fitting bays on level ground and if chains fall off or loosen when a vehicle is in motion, drivers should stop and check for damage before re-fitting. "Carry a torch, plastic garbage bag and gloves to make fitting easier," VicRoads advised. Drivers who hit ice should remain calm and apply the brakes gently to slowly regain traction. "You cannot see black ice. Black ice generally forms at night time, in the early mornings or on sections of the roads that haven't been exposed to sunlight, like under tree cover," VicRoads said. Drivers can check for black ice warnings by

Drivers need to prepare before heading to the snow. visiting VicTraffic or downloading the VicTraffic app. "If you hit black ice, you will have little or no control over your vehicle," VicRoads said. "Until you clear the patch of ice, use the accelerator, brakes and steering as little as possible. "Avoid accelerating, braking hard or turning the steering wheel quickly. "If you try to struggle against the ice by

braking hard or steering in the opposite direction, you increase the risk of spinning out." At night, VicRoads advises to use only lowbeam lights as high beams do not work in high-mist areas. "If you can't see, pull over, put on your hazard lights and keep your engine running," the authority said. VicRoads said drivers should put up their wiper blades when parked to avoid them freezing to the windscreen.
