Harvest of votes The Victorian Coalition Shadow Cabinet descended on Healesville on Monday 31 July, as part of its ongoing meetings with communities across rural and metropolitan Victoria. Community leaders and the Yarra Ranges Council executive and councillors were among the attendees. See full story page 2.

Garden’s got to go like a basement and it’s not working architecturally ... it’s a mishmash,” resident Shann O’Grady said. “Get rid of the rooftop and instead of it being an amenity issue on Healesville, people (apartment residents) can go out and use the public spaces, cafes and parks that are close by. “We’re not afraid of contemporary building, but we want quality building.” Business owner Tim Peel said if the application went through it could set a precedent that could be fatal for the town. “If you are going to bring something to the community that steps outside of boundaries to such an extent, you’re not listening enough,” he said. Gary Christie, another business owner, spoke up for the design, saying it appeared to be a good mix reflecting

other buildings on the main street. “I believe it would be a good look for the town,” he said. Mr Bird responded to what were at times brutal assessments of the design and scale of the building, saying it was a unique site with a substantial fall from the highway frontage to River Street at the rear which accounted for the above recommended height. He said there were a number of elements that were included specifically to reflect some of the town’s existing character buildings, but that he had commissioned a local artist to look at some aspects that he was also not happy with. Council planner Manjusha Pitty told the meeting the applicant had a week to advise council if he wanted to make changes in response to the concerns raised at the meeting.

“If that’s the case I will then assess those changes to sum up whether they are minor, or major changes,” she said. Major changes to the project could trigger starting the application process again, including formal advertising and consultation, potentially delaying the project for months and leaving open the possibility of new objections. She said if no major changes were made, the application would be assessed and a recommendation made for a decision by council. People who made a submission in writing would be notified, she said. Submissions can be made on the application up until the time a decision is made by council. The application can be viewed, and submissions made via yarraranges.vic. gov.au ePlanning.

‘Get rid of the roof garden’ was just one suggestion put to the developer of a $4.4million retail/apartment complex proposed for Healesville’s main street. The suggestion came from objectors to the development which, if approved, would see a four-storey building abutting the proposed Aldi store at Healesville’s west end, and running through from Maroondah Highway to River Street at the back. Owner/developer, Healesville resident Wayne Bird, was joined by Michael Hales a director of Miller Merrigan town planners, people who had made a submission to Yarra Ranges Council, Yarra Ranges Council’s major development team and Ryrie Ward Cr Fiona McAllister for a public consultation meeting on Thursday, 27 July at

The Memo Hall. Overwhelmingly, the proposed height of the building, at one point more than twice council’s Design and Development Overlay (DDO) recommended 7.5 metres, was the main concern of objectors. The design of the building also came under fire with a number of people describing it as a ‘mishmash’ of styles. Concerns were raised about removal of trees on River Street, car parking, signage, potential light and noise issues from the rooftop entertainment area, and the expanse of wall which would greet motorists coming into the town. “What I can see here is a lot of hard work and a lot of ideas, but the different elements are not matching up. “You have a '70s-style front and down the side something that just looks

Grassroots issues shape policy calls Yarra Valley community leaders enjoyed the chance to provide input on the policy direction of the Victorian Opposition on Monday 31 July. With State Elections due in November next year, the Shadow Cabinet took time out to descend on the Memo in Healesville for a special luncheon, with community leaders encouraged to network and ‘grab the ear’ of the ministers to highlight grassroots issues. Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Nationals Leader Peter Walsh were among the MPs to attend, with Eildon MP Cindy McLeish also making the most of the opportunity.

Representatives from local emergency services, Yarra Ranges Tourism, Yarra Ranges Council and the Eastern Community Legal Centre were among those to attend. Mr Guy told the guests the luncheon was part of the Opposition’s plan to grow Victoria through engaging with non-central Melbourne regions. “We’re here to talk with you, have those conversations on your patch. This is where good policy comes from,” Mr Guy said. “Too often in politics, Australians see politicians focus on the next 24 hours, maybe the next two to three years. We want to fundamentally change

that debate.” Mr Guy said the Opposition wanted to see more growth in outer-suburban and regional areas. “You can’t run a state with a two or even three-speed economy. So we want to start to grow all of Victoria,” he said. “What that means for a place like the Yarra Valley is making sure you’ve got the State Government working with local governments and local groups to champion local projects, local ideas and local industry. “So that not just yourselves, but your children and future generations, don’t have to leave here to get a good job. You don’t have

to leave your local community in order to succeed. “Indeed, you can be a magnet here for others to come and grow their business opportunities.” Mr Walsh agreed the luncheon would shape policy moving forward. “We’re currently going through the policy development process coming up to the election next November,” Mr Walsh said. “So it’s your chance to put forth the issues you think should be included in policy.” In addition to the luncheon, Mr Guy also took the opportunity to walk the main street of Healesville to speak with residents and business owners.

Di Moore is moving on after 40 years in Healesville.

Farewell to a town icon Picture: ROB CAREW

Young ’uns to thrive By Kath Gannaway Healesville should, and could, be a place where young people thrive ... but, it’s a whole village vision. A new and ambitious project, It takes A Town, aims to engage the broader community in identifying and delivering community development projects that will help young people, aged 10 to 25, to thrive. Yarra Ranges Council’s Community Development officer for the Healesville area, Jessica Adams, said a steering committee of local

community service providers was working on developing the project with council funding a series of fun, Co-design workshops to get the project started. The Foundation for Young People will facilitate the workshops with young people and some adult community members putting together a plan for consulting and involving local young people in the project, and presenting their thoughts and ideas to the community. “It can be tough for some young

people in the area because of lack of access to opportunities that could support them to reach their potential,� Ms Adams said. “There are limited opportunities to get work experience, to explore and develop their diverse talents and interests, to undertake training opportunities.� It Takes A Town will offer some valuable opportunities. “We are looking for young people who would like to make a difference in their community and

learn some skills along the way,� Ms Adams said, adding that it was also an opportunity for young people to build up their CV. The workshops (dinner included) are for 15 to 24-year-olds, and the first of four is on Thursday, 10 August, starting at 4.30pm at The Memo in Healesville. Registrations are essential - yarraranges.vic.gov.au/ittakesatown . For more information, phone Ms Adams on 0419 569 490 or email j.adams@yarraranges.vic.gov.au

In brief The Sheriff’s Office, multiple booze buses, Operational Response Unit and police from across Knox, Lilydale and Maroondah came together on Friday, 28 July for Operation Hallmark - a high visibility, high-profile pro-active response to crime detection and prevention. The operation saw police target drink driving, drug driving and fugitives wanted on outstanding warrants. On Saturday at 1.20am Yarra Valley Highway Patrol were conducting registration checks at the Healesville Shell petrol station and arrested a male from Glenburn who was driving a stolen vehicle. The vehicle was stolen in December, and it is believed the driver denied stealing it and told po-

lice he did not realise the car was stolen when he bought it in a car park deal. Yarra Valley Highway Patrol said he was released pending summons. Earlier on Friday at midnight Yarra Valley Highway Patrol and local police attended a car crash in Healesville on Lilydale Road outside the Terminus Hotel. The male driver side-swiped a tree and after accompanying police back to the station blew .203, but refused a drug test. The driver’s licence was immediately suspended, and he will appear in court at a later date on drink driving charges.

Kangaroo attack A preschool-aged boy has suffered facial injuries after he was attacked by a kangaroo in Yering.

Paramedics were called to an ‘animal incident’ at a training track in Victoria Road, Yering, at 7.54am on Sunday, an ambulance spokesperson said. Paramedics treated the boy for head lacerations and he was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a stable condition.

Stolen car On 24 July, a 2008 black Holden ute, bearing registration WLD-634 was stolen after the owner advertised the vehicle on Gumtree and a buyer came to test drive it. A male who pretended to be interested in the vehicle took it for a test drive on 24 July at 8pm, but never returned. Anyone with information about the vehicle is urged to contact Lilydale police on 9739 2300.

Former Healesville and Yarra Ranges councillor Di Moore is leaving Healesville, but not without an opportunity for the community she served for many years to wish her well. A community afternoon tea is being organised for Saturday, 12 August, at the Badger Creek Hall. The afternoon tea from 2pm to 4.30pm will provide an opportunity for friends, former colleagues, her tennis, choir and church buddies and other community members to catch up before she heads off to Ballarat to be closer to her daughters and their families. Di came to Healesville in 1977 and when Mountain Views newspaper started in 1979 she was an integral part of the team keeping the clerical side of the business in hand. She was instrumental in the visionary group that established the Healesville Adult Day Care Centre that ran outreach programs at the Badger Creek Hall and, in turn, set the seeds for Rivendell. Always an advocate, Di ran for Healesville Council in 1988 and represented the Badger Creek Ward until 1994 when commissioners took over as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great Amalgamationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. When elections for the new Yarra Ranges Council took place in 1997, Di was elected to represent the much larger Ryrie Ward. She retired in 2005 having represented the council on numerous boards including the Municipal Board of Victoria and Eastern Regional Libraries, later on the board of EACH, and served on many local community committees. Friends and former colleagues, Jeanette McRae and Kath Gannaway say they want to make sure Di doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slip away from her beloved Healesville without a well-deserved farewell. No RSVP required, but be sure to take along a plate to share. Tea and coffee are provided. For further information, phone 0407 308 316 or 0447 555 266.

Natural gas in full swing The state of

affairs Cindy McLeish MP Member for Eildon

Rollout of natural gas in Warburton is in full swing and I am very proud to see Warburton residents are beginning to take up connections as a result of the election commitment delivered by the State Coalition Government in 2014. To encourage households to take up

a connection, the first 500 customers are eligible for rebates to assist with the conversion and purchase of a new gas appliance. Multinet Gas will be running an information forum at the Warburton Mechanics Hall on 9 August from 7pm and I encourage locals to find out more about how the rollout can benefit their households. At around one third of the price of bottled gas, the new reticulated supply will go a long way to helping local households to survive this winter and the cost of electricity for those who use it for cooking and heating.

Of course, winter is a terrible time to come home and find your electricity has been cut off. For many people, they are now being forced to decide whether they want to keep the heating on or keep the refrigerator running. That’s a choice no-one should have to make; but unfortunately, more and more Victorians are facing this reality because energy prices are going through the roof. Victorians are finding it harder to pay their electricity bills with 53,565 customers on hardship programs with their electricity retailer during 2014-

’15, an increase of 250 per cent since 2010-’11 while disconnections increased by 44 per cent in this year’s March quarter. According to the ABS, electricity prices increased 7.7 per cent following the Andrews Labor Government’s sudden announcement that Hazelwood power station would shut down. Because of that decision, Victorian households will be hit with having to pay on average $300 more to keep the lights on this year. Victoria’s energy security is at great risk and according to Deloitte ‘Victoria and South Australia may need to

import energy at peak times (this summer) if intermittent generation (such as wind and solar) is unavailable’. This is an important issue for Yarra Valley residents in particular with households and businesses being faced with constant power outages in the Upper Yarra as the result of bushfire safety upgrades, and the entire region being shut down when storms decimated the network last October. Victoria was once home to affordable and reliable power, but we will soon be taken back to the dark ages with blackouts and unaffordable power prices if the situation does not change.

Safety for gliders By Derek Schlennstedt

12360021-DJ31-17

Lily D’Ambrosio, State Environment Minister for the Labor Government has announced that logging in Kings Coupe at Hermitage Creek in Toolangi State Forest will be temporarily halted because of vital greater glider habitat which may be in the area. The announcement comes a month after greater gliders were added to the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act and were recognised as a threatened species. On 24 July Ms D’Ambrosio announced in a Twitter post that “no harvesting in Kings Coupe, Toolangi Forest,” would occur, “until we ensure high quality habitat for greater glider is protected.” The Toolangi community and forest conservationists have welcomed the announcement but many aren’t convinced about its long-term legitimacy. “We welcome the announcement and it’s really good but it’s only a beginning,” chairman of the Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum Steve Meacher said. “What needs to happen is the coupe needs to be taken off the schedule permanently - anything less than that undermines the announcement she’s made.” “This is an opportunity for the Minister for the Environment to show that she is serious about protecting species that are threatened.” The coupe, located just off the Black Spur near Hermitage Creek is reported as having an extraordinary number of old hollow bearing trees which the gliders use for protection and as dens. They are able to glide for more than 100 metres horizontally. Steve Meacher said it was important

At the request of DELWP, VicForests has agreed that no harvesting operations will occur in Kings Coupe until DELWP is confident that high value habitat for the threatened Greater Glider within and adjacent to the coupe has been identified and will be protected from timber harvesting. Picture: Andy Caller that the entire coupe be protected from logging due to the gliders' capacity to travel long distances. “That entire coupe is high quality habitat for the animal,” Mr Meacher said. “The greater glider has the capacity to glide from tree to tree; it has a rea-

sonably large range.” Vic Forests' Lachlan Spencer, General Manager Stakeholders and Planning said that they were working with DELWP to review the habitat protection measures. “Timber harvesting operations have been suspended in Kings Coupe while

VicForests and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning review the planned habitat protection measures,” he said. “VicForests protects large hollow bearing trees as important habitat elements for the conservation of greater gliders and other tree dwelling species when planning all our operations.“

It’s a tower of strength By Kath Gannaway Steels Creek is on the verge of a communication revival. The communications tower funded by the Commonwealth Government as part of the Mobile Black Spot program instigated in 2014. The tower is expected to be activated in a couple of weeks. Steels Creek Community Association past president Allan Giffard has been involved with the drive to get Steels Creek on the Black Spot funding list from the start, and says while it has been a long process, it is a good outcome for the Steels Creek community. He said one of the most encouraging things as a community was that it was a collaboration between the local community, Yarra Ranges Council and the state and federal governments. “Tony was the driving force in ensuring everyone was on the same page to enable this to happen as quickly as possible,” he said. “We would have liked it sooner, but as a community we got the result we needed.” Mr Giffard said the 4G tower would provide peace of mind. “Certainly, safety is important, but so is peace of mind,” he said. “Knowing we now have communications available, that in itself is just as important as everything else.” Mr Smith said the new tower was a great outcome. “The new mobile tower is a great step forward for the Steels Creek community,” Mr Smith said. “I have worked with them for four years to get this outcome. “When the tower is switched on, the better coverage will help create a safer community, as well as benefitting local businesses and tourism.”

Eucalyptus seeds sown

Pages from the past YARRA VALLEY GUARDIAN MAIL 3 August, 1995 Home Prices Dropping Further in Yarra Valley Liberal candidate for McEwen, Fran Bailey said many Yarra Valley home prices had dropped around 10 per cent in the past year after already having fallen 10 since 1989. 40 per cent of homes in McEwen which stretches from Warburton to Seymour have a mortgage. This is the second highest number of home buyers of any regional federal electorate in Australia. Warburton Millgrove Football Club under-18 Warburton- Millgrove 7.14 56 defeated Olinda 5.6.36 Goals- Carl Frankish 2, Troy Dettman 2, Daniel de Witt 1, Simon Frankish 1, Brent Summers 1. Best Players- Troy Dettman (BOG) Brad Fraser, Simon Frankish, Terry Walker, Carl Frankish and Daniel Coleman. Seniors - Stuart Woods led the team out for his 100th senior game as the Burras were determined to hit back after last week’s disappointing result. However, Olinda played with greater desire and desperation and won 10.18.78 to Warburton Millgrove 9.5.59. Best players - Brendan Woods, Mark Tucker, Lynton Heffer, Gavin Findlay, Kristan Nyko, Jason Keslake, Ross Watson.

Snow seeding can provide a greater chance of survival. Mr Spender said the process replicated nature. “It is a survival of the fittest process whereby natural selection occurs and of the 200,000 seeds sown per hectare only

10,000 seedlings might germinate. “In another 50 to 60 years there will be around 300 trees per hectare left as part of the growing forest,” he said.

Winter, and a bit of snow cover has provided a key for reseeding of some of the more hardy species in harvested coupes across Victoria’s State forests. VicForests spreads hundreds of millions of eucalyptus seeds across the forests each year to regrow areas that have been harvested to supply wood to Victoria’s timber industry. Lachlan Spencer, VicForests general manager, Stakeholders and Planning said that helicopters aerially spread seeds over larger areas and smaller areas were sown by hand. Mr Spencer said GPS gave a higher chance of a successful regeneration but in areas smaller than five hectares it was more accurate to sow by hand. Coupes are burnt following harvesting to give the seeds the best possible chance to grow. “The burns mimic the process of nature and create a natural ash bed to germinate the seeds,” Mr Spencer said. “Some species, such as the Alpine Ash, are sown just before or in the snow as they require natural winter conditions in order to germinate,” he said. VicForests has 17 tonnes of seed in storage and just one kilogram of seed contains 250,000 potential trees. VicForests has spread about 377 million seeds across 2273 hectares this year.

Pain beneath the leaves By Derek Schlennstedt The Yarra Ranges is often considered a jewel of Victoria, with stunning fern gullies and green paddocks it’s a renowned tourist destination, but, beneath its untainted exterior lies a desperate need for crisis housing accommodation for homeless. On any given night, in the backstreets and parks of Lilydale, Neal Taylor, CEO of Holy Fools could point out the many locations where people have chosen to sleep - many of which would come as a surprise. To help raise awareness for the need of a drop-in centre in Lilydale, Billanook Ward Councillor, Tim Heenan, will for his 10th year brave the cold and frost, spending nine nights under the stars in a cardboard box. Accompanied by Neal Taylor and the Holy Fools, the sleepout will take place from 4-13 August, coinciding with National Homelessness week. By the end Cr Heenan will have spent 134 days altogether in Melba Park, Lilydale in

his cardboard box. Cr Heenan began sleeping out in 2008 and said he would continue to participate until people became informed. This year he is calling on the community to help find a site for Holy Fools to set up a drop-in centre which Lilydale is in dire need of. “A lot of stuff we do is all reactive, but if we really looked inside our hearts and heads we should be doing things more pro-actively,” Cr Heenan said. “We keep doing this because we haven’t got the ultimate.” “Holy Fools needs a drop-in centre, a factory space in Lilydale and we need someone to come forward.” “We can make a really big difference, Holy Fools just needs to get that little opportunity to go forward and then the whole community will benefit,” Cr Heenan said. Lilydale has long been a hub for homelessness and as more people move out from Melbourne pressure is mounting on

the need for a location where the homeless can go to wash, clean and store their belongings. Mr Taylor said he and Cr Heenan had seen the increase in the past three years with more people attending each year. “It never used to be as big as it has in the past three years,” Mr Taylor said. “It’s become evident, and has shown the need for the drop-in centre because during the event we get so many people who just come out of the woodwork they just appear.” The Yarra Ranges Homeless Winter Sleepout will include various activities and on 12 August from 6pm, Neal invites the public to join Holy Fools at Melba Park for a sleepout to experience a taste of homelessness. The official launch is on Monday, 7 August from 10.30am and will include guest speaker Father Bob Maguire. For more information about the activities and the event visit https://www.facebook.com/ homelessintheYV/

Cr Tim Heenan will mark over 130 nights spent sleeping in a cardboard box at Melba Park as he and Holy Fools CEO Neal Taylor raise awareness around homelessness. 171068 Picture: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT

The Grand lends a hand to Sandra By Derek Schlennstedt The Grand Hotel Healesville has once again offered a helping hand to a cherished member of the Healesville community. On 23 June, The Grand presented Sandra Donkin with $5000 which was raised by the hotel’s patrons and staff over several months to help ease her financial problems.

Since February, 2016 Sandra has faced a debilitating battle with breast cancer that has robbed her of her health and financial stability. The fund-raiser for Sandra started in April as part of a donation box which The Grand runs every month for a charity of their choice. Patrons are able to donate an amount of their choice to the do-

nation box and after announcing that the donations would go toward helping Sandra Donkin, Michelle Schiavello, owner of the Grand Hotel Healesville said the donation box filled up very quickly. Michelle said there was a big turnout for the presentation and that Sandra was overwhelmed with the best wishes. “It was a huge turnout, the whole

place was packed and everything went really well,” she said. “Sandra was absolutely overwhelmed, both she and her family came and they were so very grateful and overcome with thanks. “The money will hopefully give her some help with treatments and of course relieve her of some financial stress.”

Bob was larger than life OBITUARY By Derek Schlennstedt Bob Armstrong was a person larger than life. He was considered a renaissance man who spent his life devoted to the Wandin and Yarra Valley community he lived in. So say many of the people, who, on 22 July, farewelled this much-loved local character. Robert Keith Armstrong, known as ‘Bob’ all through his life, was born to Keith and Gwen Armstrong on 15 April 1930 in Newport and was followed in the family by younger brother Ian. His father, Keith, milled timber. So Bob grew up in the hills around Noojee, attending the local school and eventually moving to Caulfield Grammar Boarding School - which Robyne Melia, Bob’s daughter, said he disliked. “He hated boarding school, he always said that these schools gave him the hint of a life he couldn’t afford to have,” she said. But it was in his school years that there were inklings of Bob’s renaissance character, and during school he was an attentive listener keen on learning more about everything and anything. During his boarding school years he also used music as a means of solace and became a boy soprano in the choir, even featuring on ABC radio. “Dad’s time at boarding school set him apart from his family in some ways,” she said. He had a taste of what life could be, and not the means to attain it, but it gave him a voracious appetite for learning.” In January 1939, Bob caught a glimpse of his future career when he was just nine years old, experiencing the devastation of the Black Friday fires which burnt through the town of Noojee - the family only survived by submerging themselves in a creek, emerging only to breathe. Following school, he took up an apprenticeship at Land Rover and joined the Army Reserve in 1952, becoming a warrant officer and getting up to some humorous shenanigans which Robyne

Much-loved local Bob Armstrong and wife, Judy. 171113 said was a regular habit of his. “There’s a story that Dad found a band worn by permanent army of his rank - he was reserve and because no-one quite knew what he was they just saluted and obeyed.” “This is what he did all round - fudged the edges to get the required outcome,” Robyne said.

Soon after, he married Judy West and his family grew with the birth of a daughter Robyne and son Glenn. The family moved back to the Yarra Valley, settling in Wandin in 1960 and of course Bob joined the Wandin CFA. It was no surprise that Bob would become captain of Wandin CFA and be a key driver in devel-

oping the Road Accident Rescue response. Throughout his life, he strived to be the best in whatever it was he dedicated his life to and it was no different when he joined Wandin CFA in 1961, becoming captain eight years later in 1969. While there, Bob set up a legacy that would pave the future for what CFA would become. He saw a need in the future for the CFA to be a part of road rescue incidents and put all his time and effort into introducing this change. Being an experienced mechanic, he reconditioned many old trucks to utilise them as road rescue vehicles, even attaching his own number plates, which son Glenn said were “driven down Swanston Street leading a parade, in front of adoring policemen and officials one year”. In 1976, Bob and Ian Hunter travelled to America, undertaking a prestigious firefighters' course, where they were introduced to the jaws of life, which they promptly brought back to Australia where it was adopted by the CFA. Bob dedicated a life to helping others. He was officer in charge at the Ash Wednesday fires and he introduced the Road Accident Rescue unit to Wandin and the state because he saw the need for it in the future. Today, the Road Accident Rescue unit in Wandin is still used, and the same truck he reconditioned still attends incidents. Bob left an enduring legacy, not only in the CFA but to those who knew him. His dedication to friends and the wider community, and his infamous bending of the rules, made him an enduring and well-loved resident of the Yarra Ranges. Daughter Robyne Melia remembers her father as a generous and sweet-spirited person. “He would do anything for any of us. He would drop anything to come to my aid, or my friend’s or family’s aid," she said. “Or to the aid of strangers. “And he cried for those he couldn’t save.” Bob passed away in his sleep on Saturday 15 July.

Yarra Valley Dental was opened on 16 January by former local Dr Kathleen Walsh. The Mail put a few questions to Dr Walsh. Why did you choose to set up a dental practice in Yarra Glen? Well, after living here for 15 years (1998-2013), I decided that Yarra Glen really needed a local dentist as they have always had to travel! I felt that someone who had lived in the town was the best person for the job and so I took it on! What do you love most about the township of Yarra Glen? Well, my boyfriend at the time, Damien de Castella, lived here in 1998 and I was always coming out here to visit him. I loved the landscape and fresh air and the rural setting. He wooed me with the local wines and I was smitten. (He wasn’t bad either!) Little did I know that in six years’ time we would be married and living here with four kids under five years! You have worked in the Yarra Valley before, haven’t you? Yes, I worked at Healesville Dental Surgery from 2004-’08 and really enjoyed my time there, but left as we were re-locating our children to Donvale Christian College and I wanted to be close to the school. What are your favourite areas of dentistry? I really love to look after people in pain by diagnosing what’s wrong and then treating them so that they are comfortable again. That is really satisfying. I also love treating kids and my other favorite is root canal treatment - crazy, I know! What made you decide to become a dentist? I always wanted to do something med-

JUNE'S TOP PERFORMER THE latest REIV quarterly data shows multiple regional towns are now recording median house prices consistent with those in metropolitan Melbourne. In the three months to 30 June, the state’s most expensive towns were predominantly located on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. Barwon Heads recorded the state’s highest median house price in the June quarter at $946,000. The coastal town outperformed the metropolitan Melbourne median house price by more than $120,000. High house prices were also recorded in the Ballarat suburb of Lake Wendouree, which now has a median house price of $722,000

- $80,000 higher than the median house price in Melbourne’s outer suburbs. Geelong was another top performer in the June quarter with the regional city’s median house price topping $718,750. This is a record high for the suburb and follows solid growth over the year. Nearby Torquay also recorded its highest ever median house price in the June quarter, at $715,000. The Surf Coast town remains attractive to buyers, experiencing consistent price growth since September 2015. Houses in the Geelong suburb of Newtown were also some of the state’s most expensive with a

median of $710,000. Point Lonsdale on the Bellarine Peninsula also made the list of Victoria’s most expensive towns with a median house price of $675,000. Meanwhile, house prices in the commuter town of Gisborne are also on par with those in the city, recording a median of $670,000 in June. This is significantly higher than regional Victoria’s $385,000 median house price. Other towns with house prices higher than the statewide median include Highton ($618,750), Geelong West ($617,000) and Woodend ($612,500). While many of regional

Victoria’s top performing towns are located within commuting distance of Melbourne, the Federal Government’s $1.45billion commitment to rail infrastructure will drive future price growth in

areas further from the city. For more information on median house prices by town or region, visit reiv.com.au. JOSEPH WALTON PRESIDENT, REIV

Tessa’s art goes solo for exhibition By Kath Gannaway

Coldstream artist Tessa Hubble has won the opportunity for a solo exhibition at Yering Station Art Gallery. Tessa was awarded the prize for artwork exhibited as part of the YouthArt 2017 Exhibition which is currently running at Art At Lindengate in Yarra Glen. In March this year Tessa was awarded the Youth Art prize at the Yarra Glen Art Show giving her automatic entry into YouthArt 2017, setting the stage for a very successful year for the young artist. YouthArt began in 2014 as a way of supporting and encouraging the next generation of local artists.

Art at Lindengate director Reggie Clark said the award encouraged young, local artists to continue with their art. “It gives them an opportunity to exhibit and sell their quality works in a commercial setting in their community,” she said. Encouragement, Exhibition and People’s Choice prizes are offered and the gallery covers all associated costs for the six-week exhibition which includes promotion, launch and mentoring. “The young artists have a positive experience of exhibiting their work in a commercial setting which is still in a familiar environment,” Miss Clark said. “They are encouraged to think about how

their artwork will be displayed professionally and they can contribute to producing the invitation, posters, setting up the exhibition and provide ideas for the opening. “These experiences are a great first step into the art world,” she said. YouthArt is hosted by Art at Linden Gate and supported by Yarra Ranges Council, Yering Station Art Gallery, RACV Club and Yarra Valley Arts. Art at Lindengate is at 899 HealesvilleYarra Glen Road, Yarra Glen. Phone 9730 1861. The exhibition closes on Monday, 14 August.

Badger Creek Women's Choir - gigging at The Termi.

Night of the women set for Termi By Kath Gannaway A gig at the ‘Termi’, theTerminus Hotel in Healesville is something hundreds of local and visiting rock, blues and country bands have valued over the years, but a women’s choir is something new. On Saturday, 19 August, the Badger Creek Women’s Choir will take to the stage with a program of soul, Celtic, modern and traditional songs for their

first pub gig. The choir, now in its fifth year, is a 25-member group of women of all ages who meet at Badger Creek Primary School to sing, and laugh, and share the joy of music. They have played at many local venues and events including the Healesville Music Festival and Carols by Candlight. On the 19th, at the Termi, the gorgeous singing gals will rock the house with some cool

musicians including Angus Legg, Rohan Anderson and Jared Becker. From Patti Smith to Taylor Swift and Africa to Ireland, leader Jenny Legg said they were looking forward to delivering a night to enjoy and remember - and entry is free. Apart from the fabulous music, it will be an ordinary night at the Terminus, food and drinks available. Dinner bookings are recommended.

will get a great night of entertainment and fun, and an opportunity to help one of Healesville Rotary’s long-running humanitarian projects, the Milking Cow and Goat Project, if you go along to the 2017 Rotary Club of Healesville Trivia Night. The inaugural event was a huge hit last year when the school’s senior VCAL students took the reins to deliver a fantastic community event with great trivia, raffles, games and live auctions. All funds raised will go to Rotary’s Milking Cow and Goat Project which, under the

leadership of Rotarian Wilma Best, has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase cows and goats for some of the most impoverished villages in Kenya. The 2017 Trivia Night will be held on Thursday, 10 August at the Darron Honey Centre in Healesville. Entry is $10 per person with tables of up to 10 people. BYO food and drinks. To register your table, or donate raffle or auction prizes, contact Healesville High School on 5962 4088 or Healesville.hs@edumail.vic.gov.au

The Memo, Healesville

Q: What local service organisation is behind the life-saving Milking Cow and Goat Project for Africa? A: Healeville Rotary. Q: What entertaining and creative young people last year hosted a hugely successful trivia night in Healesville to support that project? A: Healesville High School’s senior VCAL students. You won’t get any points for knowing the answers to these not-so-trivial questions, but you

The Bye Bye Man is a recent horror movie that both critics and audiences have been tearing apart, but I found it to be a surprisingly solid film - or, more accurately, half of it is. The film follows college students Elliot (Douglas Smith), his girlfriend Sasha (Cressida Bonas) and best friend John (Lucien Laviscount) as they rent a spacious yet creepy property together. While settling in, they

learn of a demonic being named ’The Bye Bye Man’, whose very name marks you for death. The Bye Bye Man is a prime example of the old expression ’it gets better later’. In the first half, the acting is flat and wooden, and none of the characters speak or behave convincingly. The film has a generally eerie vibe, but many of the intended tense moments in this first half are overblown and predictable. But then The Bye Bye Man undergoes a huge escalation in quality.

The performances become more natural, and where the film previously dragged its feet with its own clever premise - of a name inducing insanity and condemning those who hear it to death - now the film throws Elliot down a compelling, graphic descent into madness, as he desperately tries to outwit a powerful evil, with a genuinely shocking twist. The Bye Bye Man is a pretty decent (if thoroughly illogical) schlocky horror movie once it gets its act together. - Seth Hynes

Ladder spots open By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Four rounds to go for Division 1 and the ladder positions are certainly open for sweeping changes. Sixteen points are up for grabs and there is only 14 points separating first and fifth. On form, you would think Upwey will stay in fifth place, but Healesville, Wandin, Woori Yallock and Olinda can easily change positions. With three rounds to go for Division 2, it looks like the top two positions are only up for grabs by Belgrave and Seville. However, positions third to sixth will be fought out between Yarra Glen, Powelltown, Alexandra and Kinglake. The one they all want is third, so look out Yarra Glen and Powelltown. Division 1 Seniors Football Round 14 Healesville 14.20(104) d Emerald 8.12(60) Healesville hold onto a two-point break on top of the ladder after a big win over eighth-placed Emerald. The first quarter was tight with Healesville kicking 3.9 to 3.1. They took complete control in the second term kicking five goals to one and claiming a lead of 30 points at half-time. They continued that form in the third quarter but inaccuracy was causing them problems with 6.9 to Emerald’s solitary three behinds. The last quarter was all Emerald kicking 4.4 while holding the competition leaders to zip but the game was won by Healesville in the third quarter. Healesville Best: N. Aldridge, G. Schiavello, N. Mende, R. Hay, D. Anderson, M. Jeffery. Goals: R. Hay 5, R. Woodford 2, D. Anderson 2, C. Warren 2, S. Gordon 1, D. Plozza 1, M. Jeffery 1. Emerald Best: L. Sheppard, M. Dompietro, S. Paull, C. Thomsen, J. Pedder, B. Moloney. Goals: B. Moloney 4, C. Porter 1, J. Bishop 1, J. Donders 1, J. Rich 1. Mount Evelyn 17.14(116) d Gembrook-Cockatoo 4.7(31) Mount Evelyn hold onto sixth place and still a chance to make the five after a solid performance against last-placed Gembrook-Cockatoo. Mount Evelyn had the game in the bag after the first quarter, booting 7.7 to two behinds and a healthy 47-point lead at quarter-time. Gembrook could only manage one behind in the second term while Mount Evelyn added to their score, kicking 3.2. Another consistent quarter in the third with a five-goal-to-one quarter and the three-quarter time break was 92 points. Gembrook played better in the last quarter, kicking 3.4 to 3.2. Mount Evelyn Best: J. Fellows, K. Jones, M. Condello, J. Barden, J. Yeomans, D. Watson. Goals: K. Jones 7, J. Yeomans 3, M. Condello 3, J. Fraser 1, M. Brierley 1, S. Martin 1, A. Chalkley 1. Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: B. Wareham, D. Welsh, G. Hartridge, C. Clarke, S. Martin, R. De Reus. Goals: P. Gramc 3, C. Clarke 1. Upwey-Tecoma 22.21(153) d Monbulk 13.10(88) Fifth-placed Upwey-Tecoma have made it tough now for seventh-placed Monbulk to really challenge for the final five after a 65-point win on Saturday. Both sides put on a goal kicking display in the first term with 15

goals being kicked but Upwey held a small lead of eight points at quarter time. Upwey broke loose in the second quarter, kicking 5.3 to 2.4 and claiming a lead of 25 points at half-time. Monbulk could not match it with them in the third term as Upwey continued their second-quarter form, kicking 5.8 to 1.1. The last quarter was much of the same with a four goal to three quarter and the game was in the bag. Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Hackett, K. O’Brien, D. Waters, H. Stanley, L. Beacom, I. Krijt. Goals: D. Waters 5, J. Hackett 5, K. Grenda 2, R. Van Hoorn 2, H. Stanley 2, S. Mitchell 2, B. Oates 1, C. Hayes 1, D. Devers 1, K. O’Brien 1. Monbulk Best: C. Sharpe, N. Sargent, B. Emmett, P. Barge, S. McBride, A. Smith. Goals: M. Langworthy 4, N. Sargent 3, B. Emmett 3, S. McBride 1, P. Barge 1, A. Smith 1. Wandin 10.23(83) d Warburton Millgrove 8.12(60) Wandin hold on to second spot on the ladder after tight game against ningth-placed Warburton. Warburton came out and stunned the more fancied Wandin by kicking 3.4 to 2.5 in the first term and held a surprising lead of five points at quarter-time. The tables turned in the second quarter and the margin could have been much worse if Wandin had their kicking boots on as they kicked 3.10 to one straight to switch the lead in their favour by 17 points at half-time. Accuracy improved in the third term with Wandin managing 3.3 to 2.3. The last quarter was all tied up with both sides kicking 2.5. Wandin Best: J. Ladner, M. O’’Donohue, D. Stephen, P. Bruzzese, B. Chapman, M. Polkinghorne. Goals: T. Merlino 3, R. Ross 3, D. Hirst 1, M. Shanks 1, D. Stephen 1, N. Molnar 1. Warburton-Millgrove Best: M. Robinson, D. Brookes, L. Barnard, L. Weir, D. Morris, S. Andueza. Goals: J. Lee 2, A. White 1, A. Maguire 1, L. Barnard 1, P. Hay 1, B. Clinch 1, T. Marr 1. Woori Yallock 10.22(82) d Olinda Ferny Creek 12.9(81) Woori Yallock have got home in a nail-biter and have a two-point break on Olinda and sit third on the ladder and only one game shy of top spot after Saturday’s game. Olinda took complete control of the conditions in the first term and kicked 5.6 to two behinds to hold a 34-point lead at quarter time. It was Woori Yallock’s turn in the second quarter and they piled on 6.6 to one behind to arrest the lead at the main break by seven points. Again, a flip in leaders at three-quarter time, with Olinda going into the final break with a 21-point lead after kicking 7.1 to 2.3. The last quarter was a cracker as Olinda battled the conditions and new that Woori Yallock was coming. Woori kicked 2.11 to just one behind and came home with a one-point win at the final siren. Woori Yallock Best: L. Boontjes, C. Smedley, S. Kennedy, R. Monkhorst, K. Thompson, J. Matthews. Goals: L. Boontjes 2, K. Thompson 2, M. Baxter 2, M. Batten 1, A. Marsh 1, R. Monkhorst 1, J. Matthews 1. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: J. Charge, M. Hottes, B. Walter, M. Wright, C. Horner, J. Rankin. Goals: C. Horner 4, B. Walter 4, J. Rankin 1, N. Broomhall 1, C. Brown 1, E. Greenall 1. Division 2 Seniors Football

All hands for the football during the Healesville versus Emerald match. Round 15 Alexandra 18.12(121) d Kinglake 7.8(50) Alexandra hangs on to fifth place while Kinglake are still in the hunt sitting sixth. Alexandra started quickly kicking 5.3 to one goal in the first term and had a lead by 27 points at quartertime. Kinglake outscored Alexandra in the second quarter, kicking 2.1 to 1.2 but the lead was still Alexandra’s by 21 points at half-time. Alexandra piled on the goals in the third term, with a sixgoal-to-one quarter and the lead was now 43 points. Another impressive six goals to two last quarter and the game was all over. Alexandra Best: B. Norris, R. Norris, B. Cooper, M. Coombs, S. Woollard, C. Tranter. Goals: B. Norris 7, R. Norris 3, J. Rouget 2, S. Hill 2, S. Heveren 1, C. Tranter 1, S. Woollard 1, B. Cooper 1.

Seville 15.11(101) d Powelltown 11.13(79) Seville have all but sewn up second spot on the ladder after a good win over fourth-placed Powelltown. Seville had control from the outset and kicked 5.2 to 2.3 to take a handy lead of 17 points into the second quarter. Powelltown fought back in the second term kicking 3.3 to 2.3 and reduced the margin to 11 points at the main break. Another good quarter by Powelltown in the third quarter and the margin was reduced to 10 points at three-quarter time. Seville regrouped in the last and managed to kick away with 6.3 to 4.3 and a 22-point win in the end. Seville Best: J. Nolan, C. Suban, M. Cecere, N. O’Keefe, J. Neal, L. O’Keefe. Goals: J.

Yarra Glen dominated in the third term booting 6.5 to 2.1 and the lead had swung back into Yarra Glen’s favour by nine points.

Just like spring thing It was like a spring morning at the Woods Point Gun Club’s July competition, though a tad cold. This didn’t stop Rob Bevis in AA Grade, Kaylene Estcourt and Daniel Chinn in AA Grade, Marty McLachlan in B Grade and Ronald Press in C Grade shooting 30/30 or 29/30 scores in the Eye Opener to share in the cash prizes. The main event was the 40 target Matlock Double Barrel Championship sponsored by Geoff Hill with gold or silver belt buckles for the trophies and meat trays as well totalling over $800 in value. These buckles are not available in Australia and were imported from the US by special order, while the meat trays, of course, were local. Competition was tense and the scores suffered but Mick Ward with the only perfect 40/40 took the main trophy outright. The AA Grade gold buckle was won by Andrew Estcourt from Warnambool Gun Club 39/40 from Rob Bevis 38/40 for a silver buckle. A Grade was taken by Daryl Ewert, 64/65 from Peter West 63/65 with the B Grade winner being Geoff Hill, 39/40, Marty McLachlan 2nd, 37/40. Shawn Wood took C Grade 36/40 followed by Dale Price, 36/44. Well done to all of the winners and special thanks to Geoff Hill for his generous sponsorship of the event. After a hearty hot lunch, The Matlock Double Rise Championship sponsored by Lyn and Rod Stewart of the Stewart Bus Company was next. Conditions were good but the targets were elusive with only four shooters breaking 20 or more targets of the 30 possible. Full bellies clearly slowed their reflexes.

Hawke takes it hard WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY STABLEFORD: The winner, on a difficult scoring day, was Steuart Hawke, with 34 points. Roger Mataele was runner-up on 33. Balls went down to 31. The NTP winners were Ian Garside 9th, Steuart 10th and to the ‘evergreen’ Ralph Logan 12th. SATURDAY Stableford: Liam Kay, one of the club's very promising juniors from the Warburton Golf Academy, had his first competition win on Saturday. He scored 37 excellent points to be a clear winner. Alan Johnston snared the runner-up prize with 35 - having been a career teacher, AJ would be quite happy to see that a junior pipped him for the daily prize! Balls went to 31 again. NTPs went to Kempton Senior 3rd, Steuart Hawke 5th, Hatty Senior 9th, Chris Connell 12th and to Ken Barratt 15th.

Winners and grinners. Pictured, from left are Dale Price, Rob Bevis, Andrew Estcourt, Mick Ward, Daniel Chinn, Daryl Ewert, Marty McLachlan, Geoff Hill, Peter West and, at front, Shawn Wood. Breaking away from working the club’s new computerised scoring system, Daniel Chinn won the event outright with 22/22 to take the championship sash.

Motoring Child car seats a worr y A trial to recycle child car seats is helping to save lives, through preventing the risks associated through ‘hand-me-down’ car seats. Child car seats provide a vital safety function. But when children outgrow their car seat, many families pass on or sell their disused restraints into another family, or throw them out. Sadly, both these options can have horrific ramifications, if the seats are unsafe for use. A car seat can be dangerous if it is worn out and no longer provides the same safety functions, or is less safe than newer models that meet modern standards. Meanwhile, estimates suggest more than 200,000 child car seats are disposed of annually, with most sent to a landfill. This figure is staggering, given at least 90 per cent of materials contained in a car seat are recyclable. This is why the RACV has developed a new trial, which offers parents a free and environmentally friendly option to drop off their disused car seat to be recycled.

By collecting and disassembling the car seats on-site, the program aims to save in excess of 900 tonnes of waste going to landfill. RACV Manager Road User Behaviour, Rebekah Smith, encouraged road-users to support the program. “RACV encourages families to recycle their used car seats to ensure our children travel safely on our roads and our environment is protected,” Ms Smith said. “Putting a child in a secondhand car seat can pose a great risk to the child’s safety. “This new program offers a responsible solution to dispose of potentially unsafe child car seats.” The free trail will runs until Wednesday 30 August. A collection site has been established at the Darebin Resource Recovery Centre, 30 Kurnai Avenue, Reservoir, Victoria. The following types of child car seats will be acceptable for disposal at the collection site: Rear facing seats and capsules; Forward facing seats; and Booster seats.

Million hybrids mark selling hybrid vehicle, with total sales approaching four million cars. These significant hybrid sales achievements align closely with the Toyota-sponsored 2017 National Tree Day, which took place on Sunday 30 July. Based on global TMC calculations, Toyota’s 80,000 hybrid cars have saved Australian motorists about 232 million litres of petrol and reduced CO2 emissions by 560 million kilograms. Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing, Tony Cramb, said Prius started a revolution that had resulted in hybrids becoming mainstream vehicles, with global sales topping one million a year. “When Prius arrived, the focus was on how hybrids could save fuel and reduce emissions both of which remain central to

their benefits,” Mr Cramb said. “Now, with the fourth-generation Prius and hybrid variants of Camry and Corolla, you can add driving enjoyment and greater emotional appeal to the mix.” Toyota regards hybrid technology as a core platform that will lead to more advanced solutions with low or zero tailpipe emissions. Hybrids achieve excellent fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions with virtually zero output of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) or particulate matter. Toyota’s hybrid cars drive like their petrol and diesel equivalent. The hybrid batter recharge itself while the car is being driven and offers the ability to operate on the electric power alone for short distance.

The hugely popular Toyota Prius. 171064

Toyota is set to sell its 80,000th hybrid vehicle in Australia - a milestone that occurs almost 20 years after the first Prius was launched in Japan. The local company’s hybrid sales counter started ticking in 2001, with the arrival in Australia of the first of four generations of the iconic Prius. Since then, Toyota has expanded its hybrid range to include Camry (2010), the Prius c city car, the seven-seat Prius v (both 2012) and Corolla (2016). Camry accounts for more than half of all Toyota hybrid sales in Australia, with a total of almost 45,000 sedans abeing driven out of dealerships since its launch in 2010. This makes Camry the topselling hybrid vehicle in Australia by far, followed by Prius with more than 20,000 sales. Prius is the world’s best-
