Long-time Healesville resident Amanda Markin passed away on 4 September less than a year after being diagnosed with breast cancer and now a Healesville cafe is paying tribute to her life. Watts River Cafe and Store in main street Healesville has placed several portraits of Amanda along the wall of their restaurant to honour her memory in a project they call 'The Mandies'. Amanda was an artist and the portraits were each completed several months ago by members of her art group as a project to surprise her before she passed away. Amanda's husband Andrew Markin said, "When we got back and Mandie saw them all it was just a brilliant day ... It was pretty special." "We had them all up on the wall for her in the palliative care unit for her last couple of weeks. Mr Markin said that many of Amanda's family members and friends will take a portrait to remember her. He and Amanda's father, John Prior, visited the cafe and said they felt overwhelmed by seeing the artwork hanging from the walls. "Every time we come here (Healesville) it reminds me of when we came with Mandie. But to see the paintings on the wall here, it's just great," Mr Prior said. Amanda's close friend Heather Foks works at the Healesville cafe. "She actually cut my hair when I had breast cancer ten years ago ... She cut it short, shaved it off and then helped me buy a wig and all that. We were very close," she said. "For her to go on and be really positive for

the last six months of her life, right up until she passed, she was inspiring. "She just lived her life to the maximum for the last six months." Ms Foks said that customers have been blown away by the artwork. "I tell them the story of how she was diagnosed. It's really good for women to see it." Ms Foks said that she hopes it can also act as a reminder for women to check their own breasts. The Markin's operated what was originally a hairdressing salon out of their home up in the mountains of Healesville since 2001. In 2006, Amanda turned it into a beauty day spa and managed the Piaf Day Spa, which she named after French singer song-writer Edith Piaf. "She lived a life of passion and was probably slightly crazy ... And I think that touched a chord with Mandie," Mr Markin said. Mr Markin said he hopes that people who see the paintings inside the cafe are inspired to enjoy every bit of their life. "The candle that burns twice as bright only lasts half as long ... If you want to do something, do it. Don't wait. "She was a bright spark. Always theatrical, always dramatic, always colourful, always generous with her time for people. We are just devastated. "She was adamant she wasn't going to seek treatment. What she was going to do was use the time she had left to do the things she wanted to do. "She said, I'm not going to waste this little bit of goodness I've got left by sitting in hospital."

Fire evacuations tested By Jed Lanyon Residents from Powelltown, Gilderoy and Three Bridges townships will be taking part in a bushfire evacuation exercise with emergency services that will help prepare for how they will respond in times of an emergency. The simulated emergency event will provide an opportunity for residents and emergency management agencies to test their plans and procedures ahead of the upcoming bushfire season. The exercise will take place on Saturday 26 October between 2pm-6pm in coordination with Victoria Police, Emergency Management Victoria, Yarra Ranges Council and the CFA. Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Grainger said, "We've chosen that part of the world because it's an area that has experienced significant fires in the past. "We have a community that is very willing to engage in the process and they're a resilient community that is quite isolated with one road

in and one road out. "What we're keen to do is test our processes and our engagement with other agencies and with the communities as we head in to what we expect will be a really hot, dry, summer period. "We would like people to start thinking of what they would do in really dire circumstances." Mr Grainger said that it's important for the community to make plans to get out rather than stay and that emergency services may not always be available to help.

Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp compared any potential fire in the region to the recent bushfires in Paradise, California. "Paradise is situated similar to Powelltown, it's on a plateau and there are very few ways in and out of the town," he said. "They actually tested their traffic management plan only months before that particular fire. "Tragically, they lost more than 80 lives in that fire. But they're saying that because they had tested that plan, they saved many more lives. "It's so important that we test those plans. There are things we can control and then things we can't control ... We live and work with fire in Victoria, it's a part of our history and it will be a part of our future." Mr Crisp urged residents to consider their evacuation plans if they have to consider taking pets or livestock with them.

"It's important to be cleaning up around your property... Now is the time to be doing it." Mr Crisp, like Mr Grainger, urged residents not to rely on waiting for police to come knocking at the door to advise an emergency evacuation. "More than 80 personnel will be involved in this particular exercise ... When there are very few ways in and out, there is likely to be traffic congestion." Mr Crisp said that the evacuation will be filmed with the message applied to other communities. Victoria Police have said that Powelltown will not be closed as part of the evacuation exercise. The evacuation exercise will be followed by a community meeting at the Powelltown Football Ground to discuss the learnings from the day.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… INSTA-PIC

What a stink Danny Zemp was contacted by a reader about the pungent smell wafting from the Belgrave toilets, located next to Hot Gossip cafe and opposite Commonwealth Bank. Belgrave resident and Hot Gossip customer Andrew Bergen said that the toilets are in a bad shape and the smell is affecting customers who sit outside. “It’s our local hang out there, and if you’re out the front and at the tables out the front of hot gossip during the day, there’s a bit of a smell ... it’ll probable get worse once it heats up.” Mr Bergen said it was disappointing to see the only disabled accessible toilets in Belgrave in such a state, and felt for businesses surrounding the loo. “It’s pretty pungent and you can see locals and tourists shake their head and move on quickly.” “Quite sad as it’s a really nice little shopping area.” According to Yarra Ranges Council the toilet is cleaned daily.

IN BRIEF

Hay fire heroics By Jed Lanyon Many are aware of the hay fire incident last month where a truck transporting hay caught fire on the Maroondah Highway, but few know just how bad the incident could have been if it wasn’t for some quick thinking from two truckers. At 7.30am on 20 September, David Ayres was driving his Kenworth truck, transporting two trailers loaded with hay. He pulled over along the Maroondah Highway next to the BP petrol station thinking that he may have a flat tyre. Mr Ayres immediately put a callout on his CB radio asking for assistance from anyone in the area. Fortunately for Mr Ayres, fellow truckie Fred Reid had just finished delivering a load in Healesville and was on his way out of town. “He called up and asked if I could sneak around him to see what the trouble was,” Mr Reid said. “I came up behind David and he was in all sorts of bother. There was smoke coming out the middle of his B-double. “Being a load of hay, in town and next to a petrol station, I suggested let’s get it out of town before you lose the whole truck.” Mr Ayres then drove the truck about 1.5 kilometres out of Healesville, just past Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road where he and Mr Reid separated the two trailers and his prime mover to prevent the fire from spreading. “Literally seconds after we got the prime mover out from under the trailer, it just burst into flames,” Mr Reid said. “It was a big barbie. “We were standing probably 30 metres away and the heat was burning us, that’s how hot it was.” Without his assistance, Mr Reid believes Mr Ayres may have been left in a situation where his truck would have ignited in town, leaving him with no choice but to run for his own safety.

Local Wurundjeri women Jacqui Wandin and Aunty Kim Wandin were shortlisted for the Yering Station Sculpture Exhibition. The exhibition attracts a diversity of work from both recognised and emerging artists, including local artists and is a must see exhibition for sculpture lovers. Jacqui said that she was surprised to be shortlisted for the award and believes that she and Kim are the first Indigenous women to achieve the feat in the annual exhibition's 19th iteration. "It's never happened to me before, I felt really proud," Jacqui said. "I never set out to do a specific thing, it just came to me really. And that's why it was unique." Jacqui said that her sculpture was made from the root of a manna gum tree and that

Police arrested four people - two men and two women - at Lilydale Railway Station on 30 September over armed robbery. They allege the group conducted two separate armed robberies on the 29 and 30 September. They said the first incident occurred on Hutchinson Street, Lilydale and the second incident occurred the following day on Main Street, Lilydale just before the alleged offenders were arrested. The group will appear at the Ringwood Children's Court on 6 November. Police also arrested three people for armed robbery on 2 October. They allege the group approached a person on Hutchinson Street, Lilydale and demanded their clothing before going through the person's belongings. Police said the offenders assaulted two police officers as they were arrested the same day at the Lilydale Marketplace. The group will be on bail until they appear at the Ringwood Children's Court on 13 November.

Uber driver assault Picture: MICHAEL HARDINGE “Poor fella, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone what happened to him. “He’s a good young kid, he was pretty switched on and acted pretty fast. If he hadn’t have made that call, we couldn’t have worked together to do what we did.“Afterwards he told me, ‘I couldn’t have done it without you, I owe you a beer’. “Things could have been a lot worse and we were very lucky to have the outcome we had.” Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Officer Senior Constable Tom Juric agreed and praised the decision-making of both drivers to prevent the situation from worsening. Following an investigation into the incident, Mr Juric told the Mail that there weren’t any suspicious circumstances surrounding the fire.

He said that the fire was caused from friction through an upturned mudflap against the truck’s tyres. The smouldering tyre and mudflap was enough to ignite the hay. The incident caused the Maroondah Highway to be blocked for several hours as Healesville CFA captain Mr Bates said that his team were at the scene for over five hours and required the assistance of a front end loader from VicRoads to push the hay off the trailers. “We couldn’t get to the fire in between the bales, so VicRoads pushed the hay off the truck with a front end loader and we put it out as they pushed it off,” he said. Coldstream CFA Captain Sean Bethell said that 18 large bales of hay were lost to the fire.

"It's what I created through knowing my stories through my people."

Remembering the hawkers and Manufacturers of Exhibition Street. Alma Goss (nee Ellis) who grew up in Dixons Creek, recalled that initially he came on foot, carrying a pole over his shoulder with a heavy bundle tied at the end. It was covered with a white calico-like fabric. These bundles would be sent out for him to collect at strategic places on his route. He slept outdoors, or with permission, in someone's shed, but never in the house. Later, he had a dark-coloured wagon pulled

by a white horse. He then slept in his wagon and his horse was hobbled or placed in a paddock. As business prospered, he was able to obtain a high, covered wagon drawn by two horses, one behind the other. This wagon was colourful, with exotic landscapes, scrolls and other flourishes, painted on its sides. The harness of the horses was enhanced with tinkling bells. Yokum was well liked and respected among his clients, although very young children were often initially shy because of his exotic appearance. He was a tall man and wore a turban. Older children were entranced however, not only by the contents of his wagon, but sometimes by the food he cooked over his campfire which he happily shared with them, if they were game to have a taste. Yokum's trade was eventually superseded by motor transport and he returned to Mirpur in the late 1930s. Many other Indian hawkers remained in

Australia, becoming storekeepers and traders. Frank Ricardo took over the route, and expanded into other districts because he did the rounds in a Chevrolet truck. This was replaced in the 1960s with a red Bedford which had a customised body to transport and display his goods. Frank's visits were as full of wonder for young children as the carts of earlier times. Many will remember Frank unlocking the doors of the van and spruiking his wares - always making suggestions of what would suit each member of the family. And of course, there was always the small bags of boiled sweets that Frank handed out at Christmas time. He made many friends and over the years that he travelled he knew some families through two or three generations. Like the Indian hawkers before him he not only provided useful goods, but also carried news and messages and assisted individuals and families in a number of ways.

Before the days of motorised vehicles and shopping centres, people in country areas often depended on travelling salesman, or hawkers, for clothing and footwear, soft furnishings, haberdashery and other items. A hawker who travelled in the Yarra Glen district during the first thirty years of the twentieth century was known variously as Yokum, Okum or Gareeb. The latter is the name found in official documents, but he was known locally as Yokum. He was born in Mirpir, Punjab, India in 1879. Yokum came to Australia about 1900, working his passage on a ship. After leaving the ship in Melbourne he applied for a hawkers' licence. For the first twelve months he travelled between Melbourne and Bendigo, but he settled on a route that took him through the Yarra Glen, Mansfield and Yea areas. He obtained his stock from Denniston & Co, Wholesale Clothing Manufacturers of Flinders Lane Melbourne and S & M Taboor, Importers

School set to scale up By Jed Lanyon Lilydale High School is in the planning stage of constructing a new Zoology Learning Centre that will provide a huge boost to the school's Reptile Room program. Teacher and reptile-room coordinator Marcus Whitby said that when constructed, the new facility will be a better environment for the animals, an upgrade from the remodelled portable classroom that has housed the animals since 2001. "It'll be a massive improvement, especially for teaching and learning. But it's better for the animals too. Obviously a purpose-built building will be better insulated and a more stable environment," he said. "We're hoping to replicate what you see in the natural environment ... It's not just about the animal but the habitat, environment and ecosystems that they come from." The current plans for the facility are being constructed with the potential for the school to accommodate small crocodiles. "Yeah, we're looking at that at the moment. We're looking at designs; obviously there is an element of risk with those animals, so we'll have to design those sorts of enclosures well. "But there is definitely some potential there for some crocodiles in the future. "I pinch myself occasionally. It's sort of hard to believe that a really unique program that started with a few enclosures in the back of a portable classroom to now become a significant building and program of the school. "It certainly validates all of the hard work that the students and the staff have put into it ... It gives a lot of potential for the future. "The students work really hard day-in dayout, even giving up their holidays ... We're hoping and planning to make this zoo standard and industry standard enclosures." Mr Whitby said that the school's strong relationship with the Department of Environ-

Mr Whitby is hopeful that the building will be able to incorporate different bioregions that will house groups of animals from similar environments together. "Say if we have animals from north eastern Australia, we'll be able to keep them all together ... It will give the kids a better feel for where these animals come from." But it's not just the cold-blooded creatures that have been forced from their usual enclosures, as some of the teachers had to make way by moving out of one of their staffrooms to temporarily accommodate the reptiles throughout the construction period. The school is also set to construct a new administration office building, included in the project which is currently in the tender process. The project was designed by Harrison and White architecture firm. Lilydale High School received $5.8 million in funding under the state government's Lily-

They’re road-crash ready By Sarah Booth The Healesville SES unit has expanded their capability, with two members receiving their road crash rescue accreditation last month. Over several days, Healesville’s Lucy Aston and Dave Singleton attended a training course in Bangholme. They learnt to operate rescue tools and free people trapped in vehicles, before undergoing an assessment at the end. “We practiced it over and over again,” Ms Aston said. “It was physically tough ... but we all worked together as a team to achieve an excellent outcome.” For Ms Aston, the course was a reminder of the variety of experiences offered by the SES. “People think we just cut up trees, but we do tons of exciting stuff.” The type of incidents SES members respond to includes floods, storms, landslides, earthquakes and road accidents. She also lists the variety of leadership and training opportunities available for volunteers. Members can receive accreditation in a wide range of skills ranging from incident management and alpine search and rescue, to four-wheel driving and working at heights. Ms Aston joined the organisation two years ago, thinking it would be a chance to give back to the community and meet make new friends. But it wasn’t what she expected. “I didn’t think it would be this fun ... it’s exciting, it’s inclusive, it’s challenging”. “The teamwork aspect of it is really good the jobs that we go to can be really challenging - no job can ever be done by yourself,” she said. When asked who can join the SES, Ms Aston, who is responsible for local recruitment,

Dave Singleton and Lucy Aston are the newest members to receive their road crash accreditation at Healesville SES. had a simple answer. “Anyone.” “We don’t care what you do,” she said, adding that there are non-operational, administrative roles for people who do not want to turn out.

People often worry about their availability, but Ms Aston said that it doesn’t matter. “If you’re only available for one hour in the day, and we get a job in that hour, you’re an extra pair of hands we otherwise wouldn’t have had,” she said.

If you are interested in joining the SES, you can sign up at ses.vic.gov.au/volunteer or message the SES Healesville Unit on Facebook. Alternatively, head to 18 Argoon Road, Healesville on Mondays at 7:30pm to meet the unit in person.

Driving hard for a cure The fifth edition of FightMND’s Daniher’s Drive has exceeded all expectations by raising over $3.1 million towards the fight against Motor Neuron Disease (MND). In five years, Daniher’s Drive has raised nearly $11 million in vital funds that will be aimed at treatment for sufferers and to find a cure for the disease. The official announcement took place at the drive’s final event on Sunday 13 October at a breakfast at Mt Eliza, with over 320 participants and over 80 cars making the trip from Werribee. Brett Stanley along with three of his colleagues from Black and White Real Estate in Healesville took part in the drive, which travelled through Marysville and Healesville on Saturday 12 October. “This is my third year participating in Daniher’s Drive ... My involvement came about through a close friend who was one of the four in my car, losing his mother in law five years ago to the disease.

In times of crisis, you can give

“The great thing about this drive is the friendly participants all working together for the same purpose of raising funds to find cure for the disease. “The most enjoyable parts of the drive is the travelling and collecting funds from generous people in regional country towns, attending the evening fundraising benefits and the camaraderie and friendships made along the way with the other participants. Mr Stanley said that his team have already started planning the fundraising activities for next year’s drive. The team ‘Robyn’s Rollers’ raised over $6000 for the cause. MND affects the muscles that control speaking, breathing and swallowing by degeneration. The average lifespan is two years from diagnosis with only 10 per cent living longer than five years. More than 2000 people are currently diagnosed with MND in Australia, but there is no

Businesses urged to prepare for plastic bag ban the community has already embraced reusable bags and the state ban would further encourage business to find alternatives. "We've seen a significant shift in the last year, with major supermarkets phasing out their lightweight plastic bag use and the community embracing reusable bags," he said. "The State Government's ban on all singleuse lightweight bags is the next step in this, and we're encouraging our local businesses to prepare for the ban and look at what alternatives they can supply for their customers.

By Romy Stephens Yarra Ranges businesses are being urged to prepare for the upcoming statewide plastic bag ban. From 1 November, lightweight plastic bags with a thickness below 36 microns can no longer be given to customers, regardless of whether it is new or reused. The law applies to all retailers and suppliers including supermarkets, retail stores, fast food outlets and petrol stations. It also includes compostable, degradable and biodegradable plastic bags. Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said

tion to help business owners to navigate the ban." The State Government will work with the National Retailers Association (NRA) to help Victorian businesses prepare for the ban. The ban is part of numerous measures the State Government is conducting to reduce the impact of plastic pollution. Minister for energy, environment and climate change Lily D'Ambrosio said the ban will "help ensure Victoria has a clean and bright future." "The feedback on this one was clear. Victorians want to do more to protect the environ-

ment from the damage litter causes and are overwhelmingly supportive of banning singleuse plastic shopping bags," she said. The statewide ban follows a self-imposed ban, on providing free, lightweight plastic bags, from major supermarkets Coles and Woolworths last year. For more information on the banning of lightweight shopping bags visit www.environment.vic.gov.au/sustainability/plastic-pollution. Businesses seeking support or advice can also call the NRA toll-free Bag Ban Hotline 1800 817 723.

Immerse in art and nature By Romy Stephens This year, Friends of Wanderslore will join forces with Lilydale High School to bring the annual Wanderslore Sanctuary open day. The property will open to the public on 27 October and is set to feature an art exhibition from Lilydale High School students, in celebration of the schools centenary. It will also be a chance to acknowledge the person who made Wanderslore possible, Constance ‘Connie’ Coleman. Connie was an artist, poet and Lilydale High School teacher. She had a deep connection to the Upper Yarra Valley after inheriting a fishing shack in Launching Place, which soon became the nucleus of Wanderslore. Prior to her death in 1990 Connie saved her money and bought neighbouring properties, before gifting the entire 10-hectare space to the Victorian Conservation Trust (now Trust for Nature). Friends of Wanderslore’s conveyor of committee and management, Geoff Durham, said Connie’s wish to keep the Sanctuary preserved means it’s rarely open to the public. “Connie was very firm that she didn’t want it open to the public, it’s for the birds and the animals,” he said. “She didn’t want the public spoiling it. So we have the policy of only having one public open day a year.” Visitors that attend the open day will not only be able to enjoy the art display, but they can also attend guided or self-guided tours throughout the property. A range of animals can potentially be spotted, with the site hosting wallabies, wombats, echidna, antechinus, possum species, bats reptiles and a profusion of bird species. Vegetation types include Indigenous trees,

Visitors can also find the internationally recognised rare fungi, Tea-Tree Fingers, which drew the likes of international fungi experts to the site earlier this year. Trust for Natures Port Phillip and Westernport manager, Ben Cullen, said open day visitors can not only learn about the site’s history but also enjoy the beautiful nature on offer. “This is a great chance for the community to come along and see what’s in their own backyard and enjoy some of the natural values they live amoungst,” he said. The open day will take place behind the car park at the Home Hotel in Launching Place from 10am to 4pm. For more information, contact Linda Clarke on 5964 6543 or lin.neil@bigpond.com.

The sweet sounds of ukuleles descended on Emerald for this year’s Hills Ukulele Festival. The event ran at Emerald Primary School on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May and featured a diverse range of world-class ukulele performers, ukulele groups and workshops. Festival organiser and the school’s music teacher, Dan MacEoin, said all Saturday workshop participants were welcomed to the main stage during the gala concert on Sunday. “How many music festivals have that level of inclusivity?” he said. Photographer Greg Carrick was on-hand to capture some of the fun for the Mail. Visit mailcommunity.com.au for more.

ENROLMENTS AND OPEN DAYS

The school with big ideas Healesville Primary School is looking forward to exciting times ahead, with the appointment of its new school principal, Tracey RobertsonSmith. Ms Robertson-Smith has only recently started her new role and said she is settling in nicely. "This is one of the most exciting roles I have had in my teaching career," she said. "I have only been here a very short time but the enjoyment and job satisfaction I am experiencing is amazing." Healesville Primary is nestled at the base of the Eastern Ranges. It hosts vast grounds with many outdoor spaces for students and teachers to enjoy. Ms Robertson-Smith said the location makes for a brilliant teaching environment. "There are areas we can utilise to teach outside," she said. "To teach under the trees overlooking the hills is pretty spectacular." Those who wander around the school's grounds are surrounded by artwork that depicts what life is like in Healesville. There are also plenty of playgrounds for students to climb, slide and hang on. One major highlight is the recently developed sustainability hub and chicken coup. The coup was constructed by students from Healesville High School, who also built numerous vegetable gardens. Students can now grow vegetables and then cook them up in the school's well-equipped kitchen that is part of its Out of Hours Care building. The school's learning spaces are vibrant, bright and welcoming. Many of its classes have the luxury of a double room. This enables the creation of reading nooks

ENROLMENTS AND OPEN DAYS

Exploring independence Year 12 is a continuation of a student's learning journey, rather than the end of one. At Little Yarra Steiner School students have the opportunity to engage in one of two possible academic streams in their final year. One of these streams is VCE, where students receive an ATAR score. The other stream sees students embark on an independent project, while still receiving their VCE certificate. This allows them to independently explore an area of interest, which often blossoms into a passion and experience carrying through into lifelong learning. The project is multi-disciplinary in its scope and format and includes a range of artistic, technical, practical and academic elements enabling students to engage in self-directed learning with the support of a mentor and supervisor. This year, student Gabrielle designed and hand made a range of garments. She then developed a website model to sell the garments, having researched various online business models in the process. The website model was combined with a blog detailing Gabrielle's research into various controversial aspects of the fashion industry, like the development of 'fast fashion', the environmental impacts of the fashion industry, as well as the promotion of body image issues. Another student, Adam, wrote his own songs, put a band together, played live gigs and learnt the art of recording, mixing and editing music to create and launch an EP. Other examples included Evanna learning how to ride a horse and Kester learning to fly a light aircraft. They both then documented their experience and learnings. The students' final assessment, marked

Yarra Steiner School student Adam wrote his own songs as part of his independent project. by external university academics, is a public talk about their year, reflecting on discoveries about themselves, society and the world around them. Through this process, students experience striving, success and failure. They make mistakes, and these are seen by educators to be just as important as the successes, as they work towards building resilience and problem-solving skills.

It also provides the opportunity for growth within, as they take the time to reflect on their journey once it's over. The continuing development of such qualities helps students in their years beyond high school. If they choose to go into university, other further studies, apprenticeships, careers or travel, these lessons can carry through. Little Yarra Steiner School invites everyone

ENROLMENTS AND OPEN DAYS

Good career for learning The education and training industry is one of the top five sectors in the Yarra Ranges and is set to continue growing for years to come. According to ABS data, since 2006, there has been an increase in education and training jobs across the region. With the Victorian Government's multi-billion dollar investment into the Victorian education system, as well as last year's Lilydale and Upper Yarra Education plan dedicated to improving outcomes throughout the region, education support workers are in high demand. A job in education support offers more than just stable employment in a growth industry. It also offers generous leave entitlements, paid school holiday breaks and flexible working hours. Working in education and training is family-friendly and provides workers with fantastic work/life balance. It is an ideal field for parents looking to reskill or anyone wishing to re-enter the workforce after a career break. Education support workers play an active role in helping a diverse range of young people with varied needs, assisting in the classroom and supporting teaching staff. There are plenty of opportunities for workers to use their talents and abilities to help pupils flourish by developing education-based activities. Working in this field also provides the satisfaction of making a difference. Those involved help shape the minds of

future generations, by equipping them with the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to truly thrive in the modern world. Sitting side by side with students, hands-on and individualised support gives them fair, equitable access to education regardless of their background or unique circumstances. Workers are more than just a teaching aide, they are also an integral part of a student's mental health and wellbeing, building their resilience and self-confidence as they work to achieve their educational goals. Studying education support can help develop an understanding of individual learning styles, the ability to support students with additional needs and the skills required to work as part of a collaborative team. Studies in this field can also help participants learn how to identify and respond to young people at risk and to work with students from diverse cultural communities. For more information, contact Cire on 1300 835 235 or visit www.cire.org.au.

A straightforward choice Choosing the right primary school for a child doesn't have to be a difficult task. At Dixons Creek Primary School, students find themselves immersed in a close community situated amongst scenic surrounds. The school is committed to providing inclusive and child-centred education, with a focus on individual learning needs. The school is located amongst rolling hills and vineyards and has numerous outdoor spaces for students to play and learn in. Amongst the school grounds is a sports oval and basketball court, two playgrounds, a sandpit and numerous large shaded areas. Kids can also channel their inner-creativeness by exploring the pine forest. Here, students can work together to build cubbies and engage in creative and cooperative play. The school claims it has a dedicated team that works to cover all areas of the Victorian Curriculum, providing challenging and engaging activities. There are vegie gardens and outdoor learning areas for students to enjoy as well as specialist classes for all students in visual arts and Japanese. The school also encourages kids to keep active and healthy by offering weekly physical education classes such as swimming and sport. Meanwhile, students have numerous opportunities to participate in a variety of other sporting activities. All students participate in cooking and technology classes and have access to a well-stocked library and classroom reading resources. The primary school also runs literacy circle groups across the school and this year has expanded its robotics and programming across the school.

Maleficent: Missed moment Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning and Harris Dickinson Rated M The sequel to the 2014 original, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is an engaging, well-acted magical drama that underutilises its own main character. Powerful fairy sorceress Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) is torn between the fairy and human worlds as her human daughter Aurora (Elle Fanning) prepares to marry Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson). Fanning conveys effortless grace and nobility, and there are some engrossing parallels in Aurora and Maleficent's respective journeys, as they approach cultures that are both familiar and alien to them. Michelle Pfeiffer is Mistress of Evil's standout performer, playing Phillip's scheming mother Queen Ingrith with an elegant, mailcommunity.com.au

calculating menace. The film is well-paced, with Ingrith's nefarious plans and the fairies' desire for war steadily converging, and the final act is a harrowing battle sequence with a surprising amount of carnage for a Disney movie. Unfortunately, Maleficent is sidelined amid this compelling magical intrigue, with very little to do until the climax. Aurora and Phillip have scant chemistry, and the plot's links to the original Maleficent film (and the source Sleeping Beauty fairytale) are perfunctory and contrived. While much of the art direction is beautiful, the film has a very gloomy colour palette, and the action is jumbled and hard to follow. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil builds effectively to a thrilling climax, but has some flimsy connecting elements and and the title mistress ends up marginalised. - Seth Lukas Hynes

“It’s wonderful. One of our older actors is such an extraordinary talent. “She’s been doing it her entire life and we always learn a lot just by having her around. She sets a wonderful example.”

Cat Print Theatre Company presents their new play Men! playing at the Memo on 26 October and at the Warburton Arts Centre from 1-3 November. Play director Claire Bamford said, “It’s a dear little play about a bunch of ladies who go on strike from their husbands because they refuse to be drudges.” What will the husbands do to end the inconvenient stand off? The comedic play features an all-female cast and is set in a parlour in 1910 in the era of suffragettes. “The process of doing a play is always great fun. Everyone’s put so much hard work putting it together and now we’re looking forward to bringing it to an audience to enjoy and have a good laugh. “As a theatre company we try to do comedies as our default because we think life is tough and complicated and busy and stressful. “We like to give our audience something fun to do for a little while to have a mental break from it all.“ Cat Print Theatre Company will be providing complimentary drinks and supper before the play and advice show-goers to arrive early

Junior cricketer belts 100 By Anthony Sequeira Inconsistent bands of rain pestered cricketers across the Yarra Valley this week, with many games experiencing rain delays and most still coming away with a result. Healesville junior cricketer Cody Anderson secured his maiden century on the weekend, the only player in the association to score a 100 this round. Batting at nine, the under 14 reached three figures in just 58 balls. Senior T20 cricket saw Healesville defeat Gruyere in the Strachan Shield. Healesville Bowler Jordan Poynton delivered a double strike early on to dismiss both of Gruyere's openers. The Bloods kept things tight through the middle overs with Michael Jackson and Glen Poynton both proving effective and only Jared Carroll able to fluently strike the ball. Gruyere failed to gain momentum, eventu-

ally reaching 101 after 20 overs. Despite an early wicket, the Bloods were determined to chase down Gruyere's score and once they were set, never fell behind the required run rate. Gruyere kept its bowling tight at stages but lacked the Bloods' sustained pressure. Ben Wallace and Ash Hamer guided Healesville to a comfortable seven wicket win with five overs to spare. In the RA Finger Trophy, Wandin scored 170 from 20 overs to beat Yarra Junction. Batting first, the Bulldogs started strong, with Joel Galvin taking them to 50 within six overs. While other batsmen came and went, Yarra Junction's bowlers struggled to apply pressure to Gavin. He was eventually dismissed just shy of a deserved century as Wandin racked up 160. Lochie Thompson and Marcel Kocher got

Yarra Junction's run chase off to a rapid start, each striking multiple boundaries. A series of partnerships by Yarra Junction took some pressure off its run chase. Despite a tight spell from the Bulldog's Hamish Lamont, young Riley Foley and J.Nightingale chased down the score in the final over, winning the match. Meanwhile, Coldstream was too strong for Healesville, who offered little resistance and were bowled out for 75. Coldstream raced to the score in just 13 overs, with Brent Comben leading the group home with eight wickets in hand. A tightly fought contest between Launching Place and Warburton went down to the last ball and ended in a thrilling draw. Launching Place's Clint Sharman was a standout as he carried his bat through the innings and guided launching place to a respectable 5/129.

Warburton's top order started a rapid chase, cruising along at eight runs an over. But the Burras' momentum stalled with the introduction of Matt McConnell's spin. Shane Abblitt kept Warburtons score moving until his dismissal in the late stages of the match. Dane Cerveri was left with two runs to win off the last ball, but Launching Place keep him to one and the match ended in a tie. In one day grade, Mitchell Newell hit a half century to take Warburton to a seven wicket win over Coldstream. Poweltown hit 186 before rain ended the match against Yarra Glen, while Glenn Derix led Hoddles creek to a nine wicket win over Launching Place 2nd XI. Scott Fawdry (4/6) led Healesville to a win over Wandin and Yarra Junction enjoyed a narrow two wicket win against a resurgent Launching Place 3rds.

Local athletes shine in statewide competition By Jamie Strudley Yarra Ranges Athletics Club's Little Athletics enjoyed a "Bring a Friend" day with good numbers attending. The club's senior athletes arrived early to join their Little Athletics colleagues for a club photo. This saw the entire club get together and inspire each other to athletic success. The senior athletes hosted a round of the AVSL (Athletics Victoria Shield League), a statewide competition held at five different venues each weekend. Yarra Ranges Athletics seniors joined over 400 other athletes from throughout Victoria for the competition on home turf. Highlights of the day were in the 4x400m relays where the club won all four relays. The team finished second overall, against points scored by athletes at all five venues, the club's best result so far this season. Yet again, several club records were broken including the Open Men 4x400 record broken twice with the fastest time being 3.46.63 by Hayden Rooke, Patrick Keating, Camden Hewitson and Harrison Van Duuren. Other records to Ashleigh Rooke (W16 Discus 22.93m), Ashleigh Rooke, Mia Strudley, Madeline Laven, Ciara Willey (W16 4x400 Relay 4.27.45), Emerson Field (110m hurdle 12.50) and James Laven (M20 1500 4.14.6). Twelve of the club's athletes represented their school at the School Sport Victoria State Track and Field Championships. A total of 17 medals were won by Ashlin Walker (Bronze), Georgia Laven (2 Golds and 1 Bronze), Hayley Wilkins (Bronze), Indigo Linde (Bronze), Kiara Flavel (2 Golds), Lily Peacock (1 Gold and 2 Silver), Maddie Laven (2 Silver), Matisse Gardiner (Bronze) and Mia Strudley (2

Yarra Ranges Athletics Club's 1500m women's team. Silver and 1 Bronze). Sixteen club athletes will represent their school at the Victoria All Schools Track and Field Championships this weekend. The club wishes good luck to all athletes involved. Tickets are now available for the club's 50th anniversary celebration evening at Easter Golf Club.

There will not be any door sales for this event so visitors should buy tickets early. The club also has its 50th anniversary clothing range available, currently at a discounted rate thanks to sponsors. Next weekend is program three for little athletes. Warm up at 8.45am with the first event starting at 9.00am. This is a day of relay running representing the club against other Little Athletics clubs in

the Eastern region and will start to build teams for the region relays coming up next month. Registration is open for both Little Athletics (lavic.com.au) and the senior team via Athletics Victoria (athsvic.org.au). For information on training, how to join or trial, photos, results and updated news, visit the website at yarrarangesathletics.org.au or check it out on Facebook.

Cold weather canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop rally success as riders pony up By Anita Prowse Despite chilly conditions, the Upper Yarra Pony Club hosted a successful October rally at Wesburn Park on 20 October. Kids enjoyed learning in flat work showjumping, cross country jumping and mounted games classes with some new members forming friendships and others taking advantage of the club's 'come try' option. Working on proficiency certificates will be high on the club's agenda as it heads into next year and entering some team events at zone level competition for the chance to compete at state level is also a high priority. 'Come try' is available at every rally so visitors can pay a day membership without paying annual, upfront full membership. Bookings are essential and rallies are held on the third Sunday of every month, where spectators are welcome For more information on 'come try' options at the club contact Anita, 0409 953 345. 22 MAIL

Golfing gods are smiling By Ron Hottes The golfing gods can be fickle creatures. They give players grief for many golfing rounds, then suddenly allow a small window of opportunity. Ray 'Happy' Gilmore had a reason to be happy in the 16 October Stableford. His rare vein of form, resulted in him grabbing the daily winner's voucher with 38 points. Steuart Hawke has made a speedy recovery from surgery, to be the runner-up and exactly matching his handicap with 36 points.

Balls got down to 35 only. There were extra nearest the pins on offer this week. They were taken by Old Man River Hubbard for a second shot on the first, Mr Hawke (3rd), Noel Hyndman (9th) and President Hall (12th). The golfing gods were also kind to Roger Mataele in the 17 October twilight competition. In a welcome return to form, Roger became the club's second winner this season with 22 points in wet and windy conditions.

Jaqui Hall is also back, playing great golf again, and her 20 points were enough to snare the runner-up prize. Balls, on a difficult day, got down to 16. Nearest the pin winners were Clint Toohey (12th), Geoff Fall (15th) and Roger Mataele (17th second shot). Sat. Oct 19th: PAR: Life member Paul Kennedy sponsors the club's unique Little Claret Jug event, which was much appreciated by both the members and the Committee.

In a good-size field on 19 October, the A Grade cash-prize went to one of the club's many guests, Todd Parrot, with the best score of the day - a solid +3. President John Hall was the B Grade victor with a -2. The daily runner-up was Junior Kempton on -1, while balls extended to -3.
