YARRA Ranges farmers have told their council they have no voice for their issues. A meeting held at Yarra Glen on 12 March raised concerns the farming community has with Yarra Ranges Council’s current Environment Strategy. The strategy is set to be replaced later this year and the council is calling for public submissions. The meeting was organised by owner of Hoogies Hardware, Peter England, and local farmer Brett Whelan to ensure that the interests of the shire’s agriculture and horticulture sector were not overlooked in the process. They thought the meeting necessary despite assurances from council representatives that they’re listening to the needs of the community and shaping their environmental strategies accordingly, The Yarra Glen meeting that saw voices raised in frustration as farmers put their concerns to Yarra Ranges Council’s environment manager David Harper and Mayor Fiona McAllister. Farmers outlined hardships caused by the current Environmental Strategy, which includes permits for taking down trees - even if they are diseased or dying. Other concerns were over the provision of services such as roads, as well as interacting with the council, Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water regarding rivers and waterways on properties. The overarching argument was a feeling of disconnection between the farming community and the council. “We just feel that you’re (Yarra Ranges Council) very urban, and we’re not,” one attendee said. Mr Whelan said farmers could be left feeling like they are on their own.
Hoddles Creek beef cattle farmer Matt Kerr told the Mail last week a common sense approach was needed. Mr Kerr urged farmers to look at what is proposed in the draft strategy and to have a say in shaping the regulations that will affect the viability of farming communities in the shire. The Kerr family runs Tibooburra Angus Stud and has vines and a truffle orchard on the 2000-acre property. Mr Kerr said his family wanted to keep the area as farming land and to do that, common sense needed to prevail. He said they had strong environmental values in their farming practices, including retaining bushland and shade trees for their cattle, and fencing off the creek and gullies to prevent damage to waterways. “We have to go through the same bureaucracy here to clear a tree as someone who wants to clear a tree from their property in Lilydale,” Mr Kerr said. Mr Harper said the meeting and further discussion with the community members was a good opportunity to hear the concerns, which would help to shape the new Environment Strategy. The draft will be available for public comment in around four months, he said. Issues including liveable communities, energy use and climate change, weeds and pests, fire, water and native plants and animals. Comments can be made by calling council on 1300 368 333, writing to PO Box 105 Lilydale, 3140, emailing mail@yarraranges.vic.gov. au, entering a form on the council’s website or taking part in an online forum at www.yarraranges.vic.gov. au. Submissions can be made until 29 March.

Retro lifestyles a real head-turner By KATH GANNAWAY THERE was plenty to catch the eye of retro-enthusiasts such as Terrie Hobday and Jacqui Joan at the Mountain District Car & Bike Show in Healesville on Sunday, 16 March. A 1952 reproduction Tear Drop Caravan and ’62 EJ Holden were a natural attraction among the more than 350 bikes and cars for the girls from Healesville’s popular Pin Up Room. Owners Graeme and Anne Green were part of the Lions Pride Holden Car Club display of around 25 cars from the Holden stable over the
past 50 years. The couple who said they get out on the road with their head-turning 50s60s car/caravan combination agreed that it is about sharing an appreciation of an era and a lifestyle. Although the threat of rain and a change of date kept numbers down at this year’s show, organisers Jacqueline and Greg Sheppard from Monbulk said they were very happy with the display. Other attractions that included live music, kids’ activities and community and commercial stalls were also a winner. “We had a great day, the cars, bikes and the people were
fantastic and are looking forward to the bit I like most of all, handing out the money made from the event,” Mrs Sheppard said. Proceeds this year will go to Bridge Builders, Healesville Rotary, Healesville Scouts, Ride to Conquer Cancer and Healesville Hospital who will use the funds towards the purchase of a fibroptic laryngoscope. Plans for next year’s show could include a swap-meet to add another dimension to the event, and organisers will also consider moving the event back to later in the month.

Heidi Savins and Robyn Hall and son Brodie were sandwiched between the Yarra Valley landscape of vineyards and rolling hills on their doorstep, and the impromptu, illegal tip on the highway. Although a number of people responding to the story on the Mail’s Facebook page have flagged high tip fees as the cause of increased dumping around the shire, residents Heidi Savins and Robyn Hall said it was no excuse. “You can’t blame tip fees on something like this. It’s just lazy and if everyone did this, all over the Yarra Valley would look like this,� he said. “I don’t go around doing this, and I don’t like our rates going up because of this sort of thing either,� she said.
Ms Hall said it was revolting. “It’s disgusting that someone would do this,� she said. “We live in this beautiful part of the world, looking out over vineyards and hills and then you get this. It’s just wrong.� Yarra Ranges Council’s Litter Investigation Officer went out to the site on 18 March and found evidence that has assisted in identifying people allegedly involved in the dumping. Andrew Paxton, YRC manager Planning, Building and Health, said infringements would be issued
once they had confirmed the offenders. “The site is located on a VicRoads road. VicRoads have confirmed they will be removing the rubbish today,� Mr Paxton said. Residents contacted by the Mail on Monday said the site remained a dump, but had been roped off with ‘No Dumping’ tape which it appeared had stemmed the flow of rubbish. VicRoads was unable to provide a response to the Mail’s questions on when the site would be cleared, and how much it would cost, before our deadline.

Building approval cuts into restriction YARRA Ranges Council has been told that tenements that restrict building on some blocks in the shire are ‘not easy to discover’. Kalorama resident Ken Stewart was caught out by the ‘undiscoverability’ of single blocks of land covered by tenement provisions brought in under the 1982 Upper Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges Strategy Plan. Mr Stewart was granted a permit to build on his Logan Avenue block after Yarra Ranges councillors went against the planning department report recommendation that Cr Len Cox said would have rendered

“STOP dumping! Pigs� summed up the response of Seville East residents to a dumping spree on their doorstep. The message was scrawled on a piece of furniture dumped along with truckloads of rubbish on the corner of Warburton Highway and the Old Warburton Road over the past month. Angry residents contacted Yarra Ranges Council as the heap grew from an abandoned television left on the prominent highway site on around the 20 February to a dumpfest of household rubbish, paperwork, carpet, car parts, toys, furniture, televisions and more - a lot of it recyclable. Barbara Pownall said the dumping started within a day or so of the council’s hard-rubbish collection in the Seville East estate. “The day after someone put a TV up there on the highway and something else was there the following day. “It just escalated from there and every time I went past, it was bigger and bigger,� she said, adding it was not Seville East residents, but people from outside the area taking advantage of the illegal dump to get rid of their rubbish. “This is just lazy ferals who either can’t afford to , or choose not to dispose of their own rubbish at the tip,� she said. “I find it deplorable that people would be so thoughtless and careless about what they are doing,� Mrs Pownall said. She said a number of residents had taken number plate details and passed them on to Yarra Ranges Council.

“Signs that the Coming of Christ is Near�
the block ‘useless’. Tenement provisions effectively saw small blocks of land consolidated in order to keep areas of the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges from being over developed. Mr Stewart said he had lived in the area for more than 40 years and bought the block, one of five blocks under the tenement, 14 years ago. He told the Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 11 March that he only discovered the tenement provision when he applied for a permit and had spent thousands of dollars in an effort to meet the requirements to build.
The report recommended the permit be refused on the basis that it didn’t meet two of the 10 test conditions, saying it could contribute to incremental erosion of the tenement ability to limit further development and that it was infill development. “While this may appear to be inequitable to the current owners, there are countless other landowners within this wider area who have had to comply with the control,� the report said. “Approving this application would be equally unfair.� In answer to a question from Cr Samantha Dunn on just how difficult it was for
prospective buyers to find out whether a block has a tenement attached, planning manager Andrew Paxton replied “in the current plan they are not overt�. He elaborated by saying they were not easy to discover, prompting Cr Cox’s suggestion “I think planners should, when they have a moment, have a look at this so people know what they have and what they don’t have when they are buying land.� Cr Jason Callanan, who brought the application to the council table, said he believed it met the provisions including green wedge, bushfire and erosion
management overlays and moved an alternative motion to approve the application. Cr Jim Child said going back to his days in the Shire of Upper Yarra, the tenements were a blessing. “We are bearing fruit from that now,� he said but added that he didn’t believe that Mr Stewart’s application would set a precedent. “We have to look at each one on its merits,� he said. Cr Samantha Dunn opposed it, saying it was unique to Yarra Ranges and came about to protect the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges. - Kath Gannaway

Rocky road
LAKE Yumbunga, an extremely fine expanse of mountain encircled water in Chum Creek Road, Healesville, 2 1/2 miles from the township was officially opened last Saturday afternoon. The lake has been constructed by Cr. Hodges on a large property owned by him in a natural depression at the food of a spur of the Great Dividing Range. The location is eminently picturesque and specially attractive facilities have been provided for swimming, boating and camping. The lake has a maximum depth of between 50 and 60 feet of pure mountain water and there are plenty of shallow stretches for non swimmers and children. The water has been obtained by damming Chum Creek which necessitated the erection, at considerable expense, of a rock and concrete wall and spillway. A large parking area is provided together with a spacious, lawn for dancing and pavilions for use by the public and the Yumbunga ladies’ and gents swimming clubs. There is a 50 foot diving tower with springboards at intermediate levels. Lake Yumbunga is a natural sanctuary for wild fowl and game and Cr. Hodges is taking steps to ensure the preservation of native fauna by proclaiming Yumbunga as a protective area. The platypus is very plentiful in the marshy confines of the lake. A large number of residents and metropolitan visitors was present for the opening.

The claws come out
Reserve set for birds, possums
By KATH GANNAWAY
By KATH GANNAWAY
CAT owners have taken to social media to launch a backlash against Yarra Ranges Council’s 24-hour cat curfew. The council recently voted to require cat owners to keep their cats on their property, prompting accolades from wildlife and cat protection groups, but also accusations ranging from cruelty to cats and their owners, to not being in touch with, or consulting with their ratepayers. But according to animal welfare organisation Animal Aid, which has publicly supported the move, it is about educating cat owners in the same way dog owners have had to be made to be accountable for their pets’ behaviour, and their safety. A petition launched by Montrose resident Peter Brewer on Change. Org and demanding that the council abolish the curfew has gained more than 1700 signatures in the past two weeks from Yarra Ranges cat owners and others from around the country. Mr Brewer questioned the practicality of the curfew, saying it was impossible to keep cats that had lived outdoor lives confined, and that people could not afford to build fences and enclosures to keep them on their properties. He said the biggest question was that only 234 people participated in the poll run by the council. “Why haven’t residents been informed that there was a poll?” he wrote in response to a post by Cr Andy Witlox, who wrote on the petition site that he not only agreed with some of the comments, but didn’t agree with the curfew. Cr Witlox was absent from the
FRIENDS of the Helmeted Honeyeater (FOHE) have welcomed State Government support for the Yellingbo reserve that is home to the state’s two faunal emblems, the Helmeted Honeyeater and the Leadbeater’s Possum. The government has agreed to 19 recommendations made by the Victorian Environment Assessment Council in a report on how the reserve should be managed. Under the recommendations, fragmented areas of habitat around Yellingbo will come together under a nearly 3000-hectare conservation area. FOHE spokesperson Bob Anderson said the government had virtually agreed to the final report, which included setting up a co-ordinating committee. He said the group had made submissions following the initial report and were happy with the changes made and the fact that the government had accepted most of the report. He said the report recognised the importance of the corridors and the need to protect them. “The important things were setting up the coordinating committee, to get the legislation needed to back up the recommendations, and to have a budget that is commensurate with the plan,” Mr Anderson said. “The report talks about how important the budget is and that it has to be appropriate (to the actions recommended) and we are looking forward to seeing that happen,” he said. One question that remains is the name of the reserve. The report talks about the Yellingbo Conservation Area, but there is support locally for a wider term that could incorporate the Yarra Valley into the name. With the area critical to the survival of two endangered state faunal emblems, one suggestion is State Emblems Park. What do Mail readers think? Is there a better name than Yellingbo Conservation Area? Let us know on the Mail Facebook page, email editor@yvnews.com.au, or write to The Editor, Mail Newspaper Group, PO Box 470, Healesville, 3777.

She said the consultation began in November 2013 and remained open for submissions until 11 March, when the decision was made. Many of the concerns voiced on the petition site are about the diffi-
culties and cost of containing cats. “People will say you can’t keep a cat in, but you can,” said Animal Aid spokesperson Debra Boland. “It will cost you money, but just like 15 years ago when dog owners had to come to grips with having to build fences to keep their dogs in, cat owners will find there are lots of options, and that their cats will adapt,” she said. “Basically what this is challenging is people’s attitudes to how you should own a cat, and that’s going to be the biggest hurdle.” She said for cats that were older and had not been contained there might be behavioural issues, but there were many containment systems available that did not require the cat to be kept in the
house 24 hours a day. “You can have an elaborate containment system, or you can cap your fence on an incline with wire or trellis.” She said other systems included a roller system used to keep possums out and a reverse guttering that was installed on the fence. “I would urge people to take the six months’ compliance time to look at how they can keep their cat on their property,” Ms Boland said. Further information on cat containment is available from Animal Aid, or from the Department of Environment and Primary Industry website www.depi.vic.gov.au/pets The petition website is www. change.org/en-AU/petitions

Opinion
Council off track GREAT job. Well done. It was great to see how the CFA, police, SES, DEPI and the water bombers worked together. Thank you. It was also disappointing to hear from a couple of the property owners who were burnt, that they are not allowed to have a boundary track around the properties, which made it impossible for the firemen to get near the fire early on. That’s another rule from the shire brain trust at Lilydale. Typical. John Rosser, Healesville.
Fight against complacency IN RESPONSE to Lyn Kennedy, (Industry of Delusion, Mail, 11 March) Bravo, Lyn! I couldn’t agree more. As a society, we have (collectively, if not always individually) become more affluent and as we have done so we have (collectively) also become more and more hedonistic and more and more complacent. The collective brains of a large number of people in our society have consequently turned to mash. For quite a long time now the culture of ‘me’ (first, last and in the middle) has been a growing phenomenon in our society. Even advertisements and the media, subtly and otherwise, proclaim that “we are worth it” and that it doesn’t matter if our methods are highly suspicious or involve ripping off even our friends. They infer that there is neither real existence of, nor need for moral standards and if you can get away with it you are actually clever and ‘street smart’ - not really dishonest. For many - of all ages (as, unfortunately, it is not just the young) - ‘thinking clearly’ has be-
come a dying art and compassion is a little comprehended and generally ill-regarded and almost dirty word. This has left us wide open to the mindless and heartless machinations of politicians who epitomise the totally self-focussed, self-serving, brainless twits that many of the rest of us are in danger of becoming. So it becomes OK to spend $2.5 million of taxpayers’ money on ‘consumable’ (read ‘disposable’) life boats, send asylum seekers off to a living hell on Manus Island, (out of sight and comfortably out of mind) dismantle advances in education, cut health funding and make those on social security spend half of what they get on transport costs to get to jobs in ridiculously remote areas. And the list goes on. The pollies cover the whole in innocuous sounding rhetoric and, as a society, we are far too absorbed with ’No 1’ to give it all so much as a second thought. “After all - we’re all right, Jack...” (And the second part of this goes without saying) And so ‘we fiddle while this country burns’ and the really sad part is that most people cannot even smell the smoke. If you’ve got a spare bat, Lyn, I’ll man the barricades with you. Those of us with a good working mind and a genuinely compassionate heart still intact need to do something. But I fear that the rot has almost gone too far and it is almost too late. Pamela McLay-Henderson, Warburton.
Roadblock revision OUR thanks to the firefighters for their sterling effort in controlling the bushfire in the Ryans Road area last Friday. No doubt their concerted and prompt action averted the heartbreak experienced by all too many home owners this past summer. However, more careful consideration needs to be given to the placement of roadblocks as we were dismayed to find the Kinglake-Yarra Glen Road closed at the railway line, preventing access from the town to our home and our designated Safer Place at the RACV Club. We have no problem with the road block at the Chum Creek store under the circumstances as that was closer to the fire but access should have been given to the RACV Club and to stockowners along the Yarra Glen Road to return

WE BELIEVE the tree house should be removed. We are the local contractors who are being illegally invaded by the illegal protestors who are part of the illegal Little Red Toolangi Treehouse (LRTT). We have a legal contract to harvest timber from the Central Highlands. We are not illegal contractors, we are not logging old growth forest and we are not logging Leadbeater’s Possum habitat. We have a legal right to enter our work site every day; we also have a legal right to be safe at our work place, just like every other worker in Australia. If I parked my car or tied myself to their workplace so they could not go to work I would be breaking the law and being a public nuisance. To build a tree house in your back yard everybody has to abide by the local law and get a permit - do they have a permit for the tree house? No. Are they allowed to camp at the tree house without a permit? No. So why should they be allowed to stay if they are not abiding by the law? What measures are taken for sanitation at the camping site? The LRTT is attracting illegal protesters who constantly put our workers and the truck drivers’ lives at risk. Since the tree house has been placed in Toolangi we have had more illegal protests at our coupe. We have had sabotage to our property. We have also experienced rocks and branches put all over the road, which is very dangerous for any tourist or worker that travels along the roads in the Toolangi State Forest. A driver is going to get seriously hurt if this continues. When illegal protesters enter our worksite, there is a cost to the taxpayers. Police, Search and Rescue and Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) staff have to attend to unlock these protesters. As for Lorraine Leach’s comment (Logging Fells Tourism, Mail, 18 March) about the 40 trucks that roared up the Monda, I am glad the trucks roared as all trucks do. As for the 40 loads, I don’t know where you got that figure from, we only did six that day and there is only one other contractor that is at full working capacity, between the two of us we could not possibly do 40 loads. I am sure you are aware, Lorraine, not everybody gets the public holiday off.
We are not holding the Toolangi community to ransom; we are just doing our legal job. My parents and friends live in Toolangi and they don’t feel the same as you. That is your opinion about some of the Toolangi community and not the opinion of the whole Toolangi community. Timber and tourism seems to be working quite well in the area, like it has done for over a century. Jeff and Cheryl Chalmers, Kinglake.

home to ensure their stock were prepared. Under an ember attack, horse rugs must be removed from horses as they are known to catch fire and internal gates opened to allow free movement and other stock may need to be moved to safer places. To ensure this was done, my daughter had to abandon her car at the railway road block and run towards home until a friend in a passing car on the opposite side of the roadblock kindly drove her home. It puzzles us that during the fire the Yarra Glen Road was open to traffic coming from the direction of Yarra Glen but not from Healesville. R. and S. Osborn, Healesville.
Cats’ inside story I READ with particular interest your recent story about the proposed 24-hour cat curfew. I took particular interest in Rosie the rosella. I’m 99 per cent sure this is the little rosella I found flapping around in my garden three weeks ago, unable to fly as all its tail feathers had been literally ripped out. After a visit to the vet I’m happy to see Rosie is recovering well at the sanctuary. I am keenly aware of the current debate about this curfew and as a previous cat owner and lover I will be happy if this law is passed. Every cat, no matter what their owners say, prowls, hunts and, fights (yes even if they are de-sexed, it’s called protecting one’s territory). Cats are very adaptable creatures and, if stimulated, can live happily inside, even if they have always been outside. Oh and by the way, those who say “I suppose we have to register them now?” - they’re already supposed to be. Carol Kerr, Badger Creek.
Timber and tourism work in harmony IN REPLY to Logging Fells Tourism (Mail, 18 March), I would like to correct the gross inaccuracies of your contributor Lorraine Leach. Ms Leach refers to “last Monday (3 March) 40 empty log trucks roared up Monda Track from Myers Creek Road during the day, then exited via Sylvia Creek Road, fully laden”. This is a ridiculous exaggeration as it would be impossible to transport 40 loads out of that area from the available coupes operating. Ms Leach then goes on to berate timber contractors for working on a public holiday and using roads provided by and maintained by the timber industry, which also provides open and available access to tourists and, more importantly, CFA fire trucks in times of bushfire. If it wasn’t for the timber industry there would not be access into these forests and we would have the absurd situation, as witnessed in national parks, where no-one gets access, the forest fuel loads grow out of control and then bushfire comes along and kills all the wildlife. She then refers to government agency VicForests and its “antagonism” towards the tourism industry “by what occurred on Labour Day. Log trucks intimidate tourists”. Where do you get your information from? These are access roads to timber industry work areas and any normal person understands that log trucks will be on the roads and, due to strict guidelines and care taken by truck drivers, no tourist ever need feel intimidated. Ms Leach then completely deteriorates into illogical banter, discussing the supposed comparisons of timber and tourism employment figures and contribution comparisons, and again accuses VicForests and its contractors of “outrageous assault against tourism”. Timber and tourism work side by side and have done so for well over a century in this region. The timber industry in this shire alone provides more than 800 direct jobs, that’s food on the table for more than 800 families who all support local business seven days a week. The tourism industry may well employ 10,000 approximately but latest research still shows most visitors in this region visit two days a week. Businesses and the entire local economy need to survive seven days a week. So, consequently, the relationship between these two fine industries works hand-in-hand to boost our local economy and keep family breadwinners in jobs. The timber industry provides open and accessible roads and this helps tourists to properly travel through our district. I’m sure most timber contractors probably would prefer to have the day off on public holidays but, unfortunately, the lost hours due to environmental terrorists sabotaging machinery (Logging Sabotage, Mail, 18 March) and illegally occupying worksites, means they probably need to make up time where they can. Timber and tourism enjoy a great, mutually beneficial, working relationship. To try and say otherwise is nonsense. Graham Taylor, Friends of Forestry.

Fire risk review hopes THE MAYOR has expressed her hopes for a more flexible version of the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) being developed. However, the lack of an immediate timeline for review and changes continues to leave landowners frustrated. Yarra Ranges Mayor Fiona McAllister met with Planning Minister Matthew Guy earlier this month and said she is “more optimistic” in regards to the controversial planning overlay. Cr McAllister said that she spoke about the issue from a local perspective and said that, while the BMO outlines acceptable bushfire risk for buildings, the overlay is interpreted as zero-risk. She said the minister seemed receptive to the ideas in the talks, including more flexibility and the possibility of building standards or alternatives - such as bunkers - to help landowners build. “It’s about allowing people to build safely with enough mechanisms to build safely,” she said. The BMO applies to land that may be significantly impacted by bushfires and requires new developments to have bushfire protection measures. However, these measures can be inconsistent with other planning overlays and legal requirements, as is the case with Healesville’s Danny Zemp, who cannot build on his land in Chum Creek.
Danny Zemp on his Chum Creek land, which will remain houseless with the BMO in its Picture: JESSE GRAHAM current state. 117182 Mr Zemp said that, while he had not lodged a formal application, enquiries to different bodies have told him that, in order to build a house on his land, he must remove all vegetation in a 40-metre radius from a proposed building. The catch is removing a large
number of the trees on his land is not possible, due to an Environmental Significance Overlay applying to the land, and, with the BMO over the land, building is also impossible. “I can see the funny side of it, but it’s frustratingly funny,” he said.
Mr Zemp said that he would not want to remove any of the trees in the first place, as they are part of the appeal to the area, and said that bushfire risk can never be eliminated, but rather, minimised. “It’s a matter of working with the environment, rather
than against it,” he said. He said that he would be open to building a bushfire bunker or shelter for his family and neighbours, and taking steps to minimise risk in planning, but that the BMO’s rigid regulation stops him from doing anything. Mr Zemp said that homeowners generally maintain their property and keep the area safe from fire risks, while empty blocks can remain unruly and overgrown, presenting a larger fire risk. Currently, his land has two enclosures for pet goats and building materials set aside, in case a change comes through and he can begin planning a home. “I was hoping that, by midyear, to get more of a green light, an ease off of the restrictions to make it more feasible,” Mr Zemp said. The overlay affects significant areas of the Yarra Ranges, including large portions of Chum Creek, huge swathes of the Warburton Highway’s towns and parts of Healesville and Badger Creek. The overlay was developed with recommendations from the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission and was introduced in November 2011. In December 2013, Mr Guy said a government review of the BMO would take place this year. The Mail reported on 25 February that the review of the BMO was expected to be complete before mid-year, but no official timeline has been set.
Shears reap cash A GROUNDSWELL of support has seen a Healesville World’s Greatest Shave duo rake in thousands to support families affected by cancer. Thyme Stanyer and Oskar Mills lost their locks on Saturday 15 March at an event at Healesville’s Grind N Groove, after running a heavy fund-raising campaign with a $2000 goal. The Mail reported on the pair’s campaign on 4 March, when they had around $700 towards their goal, with all of the funds raised going directly to the Leukaemia Foundation. Money is still being collected and contributed, but as of Thursday 20 March, the pair had smashed through their goal and raised more than $2800. Thyme said the event, which saw 150 people pass through the bar’s
doors throughout the night, was an example of the community support the pair had received. “It’s been really amazing - I was completely blown away,” she said. “It’s just hair - I get a chance to have my hair grow back, but these families may lose a member - if we can help to support them through that, Oskar Mills and Thyme Stanyer lopped off their locks for a good Picture: JESSE GRAHAM then that’s the least we can do,” she cause. 115956 said. Along with hosting the event, Grind N Groove donated $500 towards the team’s campaign after the evening. Donations can be made until June to the pair, or to the Leukaemia Foundation directly as part of the World’s Greatest Shave campaign.

Dams high in the dry FEBRUARY’S rainfall continued the downward trend set in January with poor rainfall across the Yarra Valley. Doug Armstrong in Hoddles Creek recorded 62mm over eight days compared to 80mm last year. His January/February tally was 90mm this year compared with 93 last year against an average February rainfall of 76mm. There was a dramatic drop in Healesville with Alma Mitchell recording 29.1mm on 6 days in February 2014 compared with 106.6mm on 10 days last year. Warburton’s Keith Thomas recorded February’s result of 46.5mm as very poor against the average of 69.5mm. His January/February tally was only 69.5mm against an average of 148.mm. The good news from Keith is that the storage dams are still in good shape holding 1,383,370m.ltr or 76.3 per cent of capacity. The January rainfall figures were Healesville 31.5mm, Hoddles Creek 28mm and Warburton 32.5mm. Storage dams were at 1,427.842m.ltr or 78.8 per cent capacity.

THE community came out for a day of gardenbased fun, food, music and family activities last weekend with Healesville’s Autumnfest drawing crowds down to Coronation Park. The festival, which was held from 9am3pm on Saturday 22 March, drew wandering crowds of locals and visitors to the park where a range of stalls gave tips on gardening, environmental care and sold homemade and organic wares. The aim of the event, which was organised by Permaculture Yarra Valley, was to promote sustainable living and local agriculture, along with encouraging people to buy local organic produce. Sustainable living and agriculture were at the forefront of the festival with a bright orange Talks Tent set up near the Healesville Community Garden, offering talks from community members about environmental issues. Healesville Environment Watch Incorporated (HEWI) member Steve Meacher spoke about climate change while Andrew Djurovich spoke about farmers’ markets and their purpose. Between talks, local musicians The Mountain Mob performed sets, with members Woody, Glynn and Karen providing entertainment for passers-by. Children were also well catered for at the event with plenty of colouring sheets and bubble wands at the Healesville Community Bank’s promotional tent, along with discussions about edible weeds and plants at other stalls. Community groups also shared the limelight, with the Healesville CFA and SES bringing down their fire trucks and talking about safety in floods and fires - a timely topic after last Friday’s fire in Healesville.

Diamond love forged in dance
VIC will stay put
By KATH GANNAWAY CHOOSING the right person in the first place is as good as any advice Ivan Ferguson has to offer on what makes for a long and happy marriage. Ivan and Joan Ferguson celebrated their diamond anniversary on Thursday with friends and some family members at Killara Estate Winery - about halfway between where they each grew up - Ivan in Woori Yallock and Miss Joan Gaudion in Wandin. On Sunday, the family came together for another celebration at Mont De Lancey in Wandin. Their families are pioneers of the valley with connections going back to the mid-1800s. Ivan and Joan first met on the bus to Higher Elementary School at Lilydale, but romance truly blossomed, at the Seville dance. Joan said she was about 20 then, loved to dance, and the Seville dance was where everyone went on a Saturday night. Ivan wasn’t a keen dancer, but he knew he didn’t have a chance if he couldn’t dance, so he took some lessons and won her heart. “Her dance card was always pretty full; she didn’t sit out too many dances,” he said. They were married at the Wandin Methodist Church in Wandin Yallock and they have lived in the same house on the Ferguson family dairy farm at Woori Yallock dairy farm since. With four children, Janet, Ann, John and Andrew, they were involved on school and sporting bodies and have remained active in the community over the years.

A CAMPAIGN to shift Healesville’s Visitor Information Centre (VIC) services to the Memorial Hall has been knocked down, with the service set to stay in its place until 2016. At the 12 March Healesville Chamber of Commerce meeting, Chamber president Graham Taylor said the Harker Street VIC location would be maintained over the next two years with the help of the community and the council, and its services are to be expanded. The announcement came after the Yarra Ranges Council knocked down a proposal by Yarra Ranges Tourism (YRT), the chamber and Yarra Valley Regional Tourism Association (YVRTA) to move the VIC services into the Memo Hall. The three groups penned a letter to Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister, urging her support. They outlined some of the benefits of a colocation, with one standout being an expected doubling of the VIC’s 35,000 annual visitors. However, Cr McAllister told the Mail that the Yarra Ranges Councilowned Memorial Hall was not an option. “Unfortunately, Memo Hall is not an option for the Visitor Information Centre, and is not fit for the
purpose that YRT has outlined in terms of growth and reducing financial pressures,” she said. Following a meeting between the council’s representatives and community members on 28 February, she said she despatched a letter, outlining the limitations of the location. Cr McAllister said the council would be keen to discuss how to improve the VIC experience at its current location on Harker Street, while also focusing on the longerterm direction of the service. Mr Taylor said the three groups would work to keep the VIC running in Harker Street and assess the feasibility of the site after 2016, when the Yarra Valley Railway is set to open between Healesville and Yarra Glen. He said that Yarra Ranges Tourism would be discussing the matter with the council. The proposal for the VIC to move comes after a feasibility study and a business case last year concluded that the current location for Healesville’s service was “suboptimal”. It was suggested to move the service into Healesville’s Community Link building, but this was opposed by many Chamber of Commerce members, who argued, at the time, that an increase in signage would be preferable to moving locations.

Fashion round-up Fragile recycling PHENOMENA by Warburton textile artist Beverly Mann is one of a collection of astounding garments in a unique exhibition at The Memo in Healesville. Fragile Couture showcases garments made from everyday and ‘upcycled’ materials by artists from the Yarra Ranges and central Australia. The exhibition reflects on how people consume and dis-
made from cashmere, merino wool, felted muslin, organza and gold thread. The garment highlights the beauty and feel of the natural fibres that she prefers to work with such as silk, wool, linen and cotton, transforming found objects into eco-friendly, biodegradable, wearable art. Entry to the Healesville Memorial Hall exhibition is free and it ends on Sunday 6 April.

Some of the main features are the Mediterranean-style courtyards and colonnaded terraces that link the house to the gardens. A walled garden provides scent throughout the year and close by is a box parterre. Some 450 roses undoubtedly star in a garden that has been to a large extent trial and survival.

THE women of the Inner Wheel Club of Wandin are teaming up once again with Monbulk fashion leaders to raise money for cord blood research. On Friday 11 April the club will present its annual fashion parade at the Wandin North Hall in conjunction with Jenny’s Shoppe and RJ Shoes. The parade has become an annual fashion pilgrimage for local women and other Inner Wheel club members and Wandin president Pauline Barrett said they are again expecting great support. “It’s great fun for a great cause,” she said. Secretary Anne Wettenhall said it is the 15th year of fundraising for cord blood research. “We, along with members of Inner Wheel across Australia, will be working toward our goal of $2 million and we are only about $40,000 short of that target,” she said. Ms Wettenhall said to date Inner Wheel had given 33 research grants to scientists working on various projects using cord blood.

Back-to-back premiers AFTER nearly six months of blood, sweat and tears, Seville confirmed their status as the powerhouse of the modern era as they secured a third premiership. Over the last four years, Seville has won three out of four premierships and they they accounted for Yarra Junction with a complete display with bat and ball in the DJ Strachan Shield Final. Seville did not hesitate to bat after winning the toss, and the early going was classic Grand Final cricket. Opening batsmen Scott Rackham and Adam Burns weathered an accurate and probing opening spell from Quentin Hodgkinson and Daniel Sharp. Just as the Blues saw off the opening pair, the introduction of experienced pairing Daniel Lever and Terry Ottrey quickly saw Seville slip to 2/49 and the door was slightly ajar for an Eagle assault. Sensing the importance of the moment, Seville premiership stars Leigh Aitkins and Tim Dwyer steadied the ship and guided their team to a strong position of 2/106 at tea. Dwyer was particularly savage against the bowling of Lever who generally has led the Eagles bowling attack with long, disciplined and economical spells of bowling. The pair had put on 76 runs before Ottrey claimed the wicket of Aitkins with the score on 125. Unperturbed by the loss of his partner, Dwyer forged on with the in-form Ranga Yasalal. Dwyer had structured his innings perfectly as he attacked when the innings was at its strongest while at the fall of Aitkins’ wicket he was able to steady the ship. Yasalal played a perfect supportive role to Dwyer. When approaching a much-deserved century, Dwyer’s scoring slowed, so it was Yasalal who forced the issue with some mighty blows - particularly off the bowling of Lever. With Dwyer (100) posting a majestical century and Yasalal (54) producing a brutal half century Seville had the Junction boys on their knees at 3/200 in the 61st over. Dwyer was dismissed shortly after bringing up three figures, and when he needed to kick on, Yasalal followed shortly after. This triggered a mini collapse as the Eagles forced their way back into the contest courtesy of an inspired spell of bowling from Terry Ottrey. Ottrey’s consistent line and length, forced the errors from the remaining Seville batsmen as they were intent on increasing the run rate. With figures of 6/45, Ottrey stemmed the bleeding somewhat and restricted Seville to 245, when a score in excess of 300 looked inevitable. So, with a chase of 246, Yarra Junction needed a solid start and got anything but that as Matt Tilney collected three early wickets to have the Eagles reeling at 3/25 and a long way

from the running. With consolidation needed, Daniel Lever joined Cam Spaulding, and the pair did their best against some probing bowling and managed to bat to tea to give the Eagles a chance at 3/67. The pair worked the score to 3/84, but with the required run rate ballooning out against some excellent sustained bowling from Tilney (5/64) and Ishara Amarasinghe (3/44). The chase failed as the Junction batsmen were dismissed regularly as their urgency increased. Both Lever and Spaulding (29) fell while trying to force the pace, and despite some valiant batting from Chippa Robertson and Pat Ford. The damage had been done as Seville secured back-to-back premierships dismissing the Eagles for 147. In a fitting ending, club legend Andy Kay polished off the final two wickets to send the Seville army into jubilant celebration. In RA Finger Trophy action, defending premiers Healesville also made it back-to-back premierships with a comprehensive display against Yarra Junction. Junction won the toss and asked Healesville to put a score on the board. The Bloods immediately put the pressure on the Junction bowlers despite losing their openers relatively early. Former A Grade captain, Stephen James, continued his good recent higher grade form with a brisk half-century. With the support of the ever improving Liam Daly, the pair had the Bloods on the brink of blowing the contest wide open. Even with the loss of James with the score on 108, the Bloods forged forward. Plugger Davern joined Daly, and the pair put together a quick fifty run partnership to have Healesville in the box seat at 3/163. The quick dismissals of Davern and Daly to the bowling of Daryl Chaproniere saw the game take an unexpected turn. In an inspired period of play, the Eagles captured 5/31, to have the Bloods teetering at 8/194 and in danger of folding for under 200. Finals cricket is the domain of experienced campaigners, and none are more seasoned than Bloods captain Allan Pearce. Pearce (37 n.o.), with the support of youngsters Dillon Kerr and Ryley Howard-Scales, led his side from the front and not only led his side to relative safety, but ensured they would compile a challenging total for the Eagles to chase. Eventually, Healesville was bowled out for 262 in the shadows of stumps. Graeme Le Brocq (4/43) and Mark Richards (3/59) led from the front for the Eagles with the ball. Despite the fall of two early wickets, the Eagles progressed their score to 2/39, and would have been confident of building a platform on which to attack the formidable total after tea. That’s where the fairy tale thoughts of an upset ended, and rather abruptly. After leading his team’s tail with the bat, Allan Pearce wound back the clock with the ball and rolled through the Eagles batting line-up like a hot knife through butter. With figures of 7/5, Pearce looked as if he would get a wicket with every ball. With great accuracy and swing both ways, the Junction batsmen had no answers and were dismissed for a dismal 50 runs. The best game of the weekend came in the C Grade Grand Final as Wandin pulled off a memorable win after an intriguing contest against Launching Place. The Bulldogs batted first and battled to give their innings momentum against some quality bowling, particularly from Launch stars Cam Hoare (3/30) and Lochie Winter-Annette (2/50). With plenty of starts, the Wandin batsmen had the opportunity to capitalise, but with no batsman scoring above 30, they would have been disap-
Healesville’s Dillon Kerr giving it all he has in RA Finger. 117361 Pictures: GREG CARRICK pointed not to score more than 170, but satisfied with a defendable score on the board. The Launching Place batting line-up has been one of the strongest in C Grade this season and a chase of 170 would have posed little fear. With Semi Final centurion Hoare (74) again at his best, and well supported by Stuart Parker (35), Launching Place looked well in control of the game. Unfortunately for Launch, warning signs were evident in their Semi Final win as their middle to lower order were unable to capitalise on an impregnable position. This week they were unable to guide their team to victory after their top order had put them in a commanding position. Jamie Oakley capped off a memorable finals series as his figures of 4/54 bowled Launch out for 154, and his side to a well-earned premiership. Premiership fancies Powelltown will be licking their wounds after capitulating in the D Grade Grand Final after dominating the home-and-away season, and day one of this contest. Powelltown stars Stuart Thompson (5/62) and Benny Dunne (3/32) once again showed the way with dominant displays of bowling to dismiss Yarra Junction for an under par 134 on day one. Someone forgot to tell young Eagles stars Brad Nightingale (5/27) and Jesse Cook (4/17) as they made a mockery of the underdog tag. The pair left everything on the field and rolled the unbackable favourites for 51. Asked to bat again in a vain attempt at a reverse outright result, the Eagles were not going to let this game slip to see out the day on 2/72 and a memorable premiership victory to lift the club’s spirits after tough losses in the top two grades. Yarra Glen were the first premiers of the season as they accounted for Silvan in the One Day Grade. Yarra Glen made short work of the Slugs strong batting line-up to bowl them out for a disappointing 96. In reply, they sauntered to victory with seven wickets in hand.

Four dreams come true YARRA Junction Cricket Club has pulled off its best season for decades with four teams making it through to the grand finals for the 2013/14 season. The atmosphere at the club on Thursday night was electric as the teams, officials and supporters came together for the final practice. The ‘dream result’ four flags was always going to be a tough ask and when the final wickets were taken on Sunday, the Eagles came away with one out of the four - their D Grade pulling off a
fantastic win against favourites Powelltown. Eagles president Rod Mortimer said the teams had proved themselves and were proud of their efforts with the A Grade working its way through the finals series from third place and the B, D and Under 14s coming through from fourth place on the ladder. “The boys have developed a real belief in themselves this year and to get four teams into the grand finals is a tremendous result for the players and the
club,” Mr Mortimer said. He said on Monday that while there was obvious disappointment in losing the A, B and Under 14s, there was plenty to build on. “The club is extremely proud of all of them,” he said. “In the thirds, 15-year-old Jesse Cook and 16-year-old Brad Nightingale took nine out of the 10 wickets and that really augers well for our future. “We’re already talking about next season.”

YARRA Valley Bowls Past Presidents’ Association is calling for more bowlers to get involved in a charity day for the SES. The annual charity day held on 14 February at the Lilydale Bowling Club raised $1000 for the State Emergency Service this year. The association aims to raise $1000 at each fund-raiser however due to low numbers this year it is urging the community to get involved. Association treasurer Ian Ross said the event is always an enjoyable day. “The SES does a fabulous job and I think they don’t get as much credit as they deserve.
Strokes to clear-cut win in 27 holes By RON HOTTES SATURDAY 15 March saw the time-honoured board event for Warburton Golf Club members, the Foursomes Championship, conducted over a gruelling 27 holes. Most members dream of winning this event, as it is the ultimate paired title, where the best combination always wins. In a stunning performance, ’Young-Gun’ Jon-Cross combined effortlessly with the very experi-
enced and five-time club champion Paul Mason to take no more than 113 strokes to complete the 27 holes. This allowed them to post a clear-cut win. No doubt, they will already be talking about teaming up again in 12 months’ time to defend this hardfought title. It was a super effort under such conditions. The nett event, for the four-
somes, was won by Alan Johnson and Andrew McMath who posted a net score of 101, shooting a gross score of 131, which proved enough to win them the Geoff-Reid trophy. Although of similar vintage, their golfing experience is vastly different. Alan is a hardened player when it comes to demanding events like this whereas Andrew has come to the game of golf only recently. Andrew held up his end of the
deal very well for most of the long journey but when he did get the wobbles the old campaigner came to the fore, soothing jangled nerves and hitting numerous recovery shots with great aplomb!! The Thursday Twilight Stableford winner was R. Logan (20 points), runner-up G. Handasyde (20 countback). Balls down to 18. Nearest The Pins were 1 R. Hendy, 3 P. Munro, 9 P. Kennedy with a hole-in-one.
“We think we’re doing a good job for the SES and we’re glad we can help them. “At the moment we take turns in raising funds for Healesville, Yarra Junction and Lilydale,” he said. “We aren’t one club, we are bowlers from clubs around the Yarra Valley and we don’t care what ages join,” Mr Ross said. Most of the club’s fund-raising is done through the Monster Raffle which is sponsored by numerous businesses. The association has raised $18,000 for the SES since being established in 1997. Next year the Yarra Valley Bowls Past Presidents Association will raise $1000 for Yarra Junction SES.
