Its one of our favourite annual events, a brilliant celebration of summertimerelaxation and funand no, its not Billy Prices birthday its Australia Day inFlowerdale.

Oz Day 2011 at the Flowerdale Recreation Reserve showed our community at

its very best with something for everyone.

There was something for those exceptional people who are true aussies inspirit, in attitude and in action with the awarding of the Flowerdale Citizen ofthe Year to Jeanette Kamar and Henry Kielbaska and the Flowerdale JuniorCitizen of the Year to 10 year old Skyler Hunter. And you could tell by the hugeresponse from the clapping, cheering, wolf-whistling audience that the AussieDay Committee had given credit to three of our best.

There was something for the sports lovers - no shortage of racket-wieldingtennis gurus bashing it out in the blazing sunshine in this valley.Congratulations to the 2011 Flowerdale Australia Day Round Robin

winners..

There was something for the hungry ones with celebrity chefs Wally Moore, Jaime Helmot, Mick Dunn and Marco Noblecooking lashings of onions to give the snags and hamburgers that real aussie bbqflavour. With yummy salads to crunch on and bread rolls soft enough for even the mostdelicate of dentures, Australia Day lunch was shared by all.

There was something for Australia with our flag being raised at midday by our muchloved Leanne Pleash, the singing of ourNational Anthem, and our community havingthe opportunity to meet Stephan RonamiwOAM who spoke warmth and encouragement tous all.

It was arguably the smallest ute muster inhistory, but our four flag-flying utes added a lotof colour and masses of patriotism to the day.

There was something for the family with eggand spoon races, sack races, gum-boot throwsand activities for kids of all ages, shapes andsizes. Surely a world record was broken whenthree year old Emily Hunter beat the rest of thefield in the gum boot throw. (It has beenreported that the medal she received for this

monumental achievement is amongst the topten, on her most treasured possessions list.)

Looking for a 3 bedroom house to rent inFlowerdale/Strath Creek area.

Contact Connie, Mob 0410935094

Letters To the EditorIt is with much sadness that we say goodbye to our HubCaptain, Leanne, who has absconded to Yea after beingwith us since the fires in 2009.

She has done so much to help us. Her efficiency isstaggering. The confidentiality, thoughtfulness andcompassion she has shown to our community will not everbe forgotten. She is truly a person who has walked besideus in our journey never making judgments, alwaysrespecting confidentiality and happy to throw herself bootsn all into Flowerdales huge line-up of community meetings,events and celebrations. We will miss her. Those of uswho know her, love her so much. This little poem is fromus at Flowerdale to our friend Leanne.

HUB CAPTAIN

When forms and mad bureaucracy are sending us beserk

When our feeble brains are scrambled with the strain ofpaperworkWhen every silly process drives us mad, we know we canJust walk up to the oblong box and dump it on Leanne.

Leanne is our Hub Captain. Shes the best in all the nation.She has our hub a-humming - a precision operation.She doesnt miss a trick. She gets things done. She doesnt

judge us.And sometimes, we admit, she is the only one wholl budgeus.

She journeys right besides us, often takes us by the hand,And when were tired or hit the wall, shell stop and help usstand.Her shoes, like ours, have seen some miles. The treads arewearing down.Yet somehow, shell find ways to turn black days to softerbrown.

We think its kinda cool, the way she wears her cloak tosnackOn juicy human blood, when she is hanging out with Drac. We like the way she wears her vampire outfit through thecity

And causes quite a stir. (We heard some scenes were not sopretty.)

And our Leanne, she loved the stage you bet your life shedidBecause at Circus Oz she was a human pyramid.!!Which leads us to suspect - our Leanne wishes that shewas

A vampire acrobat - the newest star of Circus Oz.

While other folk may think were mad, and for the loony binOur Leanne has a laugh with us, She simply fits right in.

She may live up in Highlands , an outsider. Shes an alien.!! But here in our green valley shes a true blue Flowerdalian.

RIP LES MCDONALDLes lost his battle with emphysema in the dawning hoursof Monday 31st January 2011. A resident of Old Spring

Valley Road , his home and all his possessions were de-stroyed on Monday February 9th 2009 as a result of thefires.

Les lived with his dog, Little Joe. He was a quiet andgentle man and he was fiercely independent. His techni-cal knowledge of alternative energy and computer sys-tems was a gift which he put into practice every day. He

had so many plans and projects in the pipeline, so manydreams and aspirations. We have lost his knowledge,but we will never lose our memory of him.

His friends in Flowerdale thank the beautiful ladies in theHome Care Services of Council, and the people fromMeals On Wheels, who supported Les. Their kindnessand understanding allowed him to remain with us inFlowerdale for much longer than would have otherwisebeen possible.

Rest In Peace, Les. We will always remember you.

Congratulations to Michael & Carol IezziOn becoming grandparents to Jax Benjamin Richesborn at 1.30am Australia Day. Weighing 3.7kg (8lb 2oz).

Thankyou to all my Flowerdalian Friends (you know whoyou are) for their love and support as we went through

another disaster, this time in Charlton with the floods.I know there were alot of calls and texts whilst we wereevacuated to Donald of which many I couldnt reply to, itwas very much appreciated the concern for our wellbeing.Unfortunately we werent so lucky this time round wehad about a 1 metre of water through our home so lostmost of our furniture.The town of Charlton is very similar to ours with approx.the same population and the most thing which standsout is the community spirit like ours, when somethinghappens in the town everyone supports one another.Must be why I call Charlton my home also.

Thankyou once again, John, Julie and Emilee

THANKYOUThankyou to the person who kindly cleaned up the busstop on Whittlesea-Yea Road (opposite Silver Creek Rd)before the children started back at school. Now thechildren can safely wait until their bus arrives withoutthe worry of snakes with overgrown weeds etc.Just another way our community gets things doneinstead of relying on government departments to dorequest.The parents of the children at Bus Stop

FEEDBACK WANTED ON FLOWERDALEAND KINGLAKE WEST TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS

Public transport users in Flowerdale and Kinglake West who have been travelling on the Tuesday and

Wednesday connector service are being asked for their feedback.

Councils Community and Customer Service portfolio spokesman Cr Cris Ruhr said the service connectedpassengers with the Mansfield/Southern Cross Station V/Line and the Kinglake -Whittlesea shuttle services.

The trial service is supported by the Murrindindi Shire Council -Transport Connections Program and wasstarted in August 2010 following community feedback that the service would be extremely beneficial toresidents in the Flowerdale and Kinglake West area, Cr Ruhr said.

Last year our survey indicated between 20-30 people a day wanted a bus to access social activities, medicalappointments and for shopping and they wanted access to such activities predominantly on Tuesdays andWednesdays.

The service also allows transport options for people to attend activities held in the Flowerdale Hall. It alsoprovides options for people attending kindergarten, maternal and child health nurse and activities being heldat the school.

Cr Ruhr said bus timetables for both services had been delivered to all households in the region and it wasimportant people flag down the driver while waiting at a bus stop.

With any trial, community feedback is essential, so we are asking users to provide their comments andfeedback on this service, Cr Ruhr said.

Comments will be taken up to 16 February and can be directed to Clive Clayton [email protected] . Alternatively people can send comments to Transport Connections POBox 138, Alexandra 3714.

Council endorses environment strategy

Enhancing Murrindindis natural environment while implementing programs to reduce the human impact onthe region are key features of Murrindindi Shire Councils adopted Environment Strategy 2011- 2015.

Council has formally endorsed the strategy that offers a coordinated action plan including time frame,priorities and financial estimates, which will achieve the key directions and objectives of the CouncilsEnvironment Policy 2008 and its municipal responsibilities under Victorian Law.

Mayor Peter Beales said the important document sets clear guidelines for supporting and enhancing theshires natural environment.

What has been pleasing has been the community input into creating this strategy, Cr Beales said.

One of the suggestions from the community has been the continued need to keep people informed,particularly landholders, of our programs and objectives and that has now been included in the strategy.

Cr Beales said the strategy covered six themes. They are natural environment, waterway and catchmentprotection, land management, resource use, waste management and a sustainable built environment.

Each theme has an implementation plan that will assist Council achieve environmentally responsible andsustainable outcomes for the shire, Cr Beales said.

Council has a budget allocation of $30,000 in the 2010/2011 budget to address the high priority actions ofthe first year of the strategy and we look forward to seeing the impacts now and into the future.

Council commits $10,000 to aid flood recovery

Murrindindi Shire Council has committed $10,000 to aid natural disaster recovery across Victoria, Queensland and NewSouth Wales.

The funds will be administered by a special Council committee comprising Mayor Peter Beales, CEO Margaret Abbey,Cr Bob Flowers and Cr Cris Ruhr.

Mayor Beales said the money would target projects both in the shire and in disaster affected areas.

We have had a number of requests from community groups across the shire seeking support in getting goods andequipment to Queensland and north west Victoria. This fund will allow Council to consider such requests and wherepossible assist those groups, Mayor Beales said.

Council has also requested that an audit take place of any surplus Council infrastructure with a view of offering suchitems to disaster areas if they are not required for further operations within the shire.

Cr Beales praised the commitment of residents and businesses who continue to dig so deep for those affected by thecountrys flood crisis.

We would encourage people to list events on our online Calendar of Events that are supporting the flood appeals.

Our website also recognises those businesses that have special offers or promotions that will contribute to the appeal.

People are encouraged to go to the Murrindindi Shire Council website at www.murrindindi.vic.gov.auand click on theflood appeal logo.

We would also encourage residents who want to donate directly to the Queensland Flood Appeal to do so at: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods, Cr Beales said.

Community organisations who require assistance in getting bulk goods to disaster areas are asked to contact Council at

[email protected].

While we expect a number of community inquiries we only have limited funds so there will be a selection process viathe committee, Cr Beales said.

We have already given support to transferring fodder from Alexandra to flood affected farming communities andproviding fuel funding to have a semi-trailer load of equipment sent from Kinglake to Grantham, Queensland.


Pet owners encouraged to attend Kinglake microchipping day

Pet owners who have yet to have their animals microchipped can do so at a special day at the Kinglake Service Centreon Saturday 19 March.

Murrindindi Shire Council in conjunction with Microchips Australia will provide a microchipping service at a discountedcost of $25 per animal and if required, council officers will also be on hand to assist with council registration.

Councils Planning and Environment spokesman Cr Bob Flowers encouraged pet owners to attend the session which isset down from 10am through to 2pm.

Microchipping is the most effective way to permanently identify your pets and this service is being offered at a signifi-cantly reduced price, Cr Flowers said.

I encourage pet owners to take advantage of this offer. Once your pet is microchipped, you have a much better chanceof having it returned if it goes missing.

As of 1 May 2007, the state government requires all newly registered animals to be microchipped. Failing to register ani-mals may result in fines exceeding $500.

Council is encouraging pet owners to register their interest. People can contact the Kinglake District Service Centre on(03) 5786 1522 to let staff know they will attend. A free sausage sizzle will be held on the day.

Further inquiries can be directed to Councils local laws department on 5772 0333.
