eople living in the Yarra Ranges will have access to a completely refurbished health service from February 6 following the $8.8 million redevelopment of Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health. Eastern Health staff have EHHQ EXV\ SXWWLQJ WKH ÀQDO touches to the new facility, which will bring hospital and community health services under one roof. “This is a very exciting time for our staff and the local community. Further to the extensive range of acute and community health services currently available, the hospital
will provide a new, enlarged operating theatre, a new renal dialysis unit and a refurbished palliative care room with a courtyard – just to name a few of the key features,” Chief Executive, Adjunct Professor David Plunkett said. With community health services operating amid a construction zone for the past 12 months and hospital services temporarily relocated during the redevelopment, Adj Prof Plunkett thanked staff and the community for their patience. “I would like to sincerely thank our staff and the community for their contribution.
Without your willingness to embrace the changes over the past year, we would not have been able to complete this enormous project so quickly,” he said. “I trust it will be worth the wait when you are able to see the fantastic new facilities that will be available.” Eastern Health is planning to celebrate the completion of the redevelopment and the hospital’s 60th anniversary with a Community Open Day this Sunday, January 29 from 2pm. Free public tours of the new health service will be available throughout the afternoon. Bookings are essential. Visit www.trybooking.com/243766 or call 9091 8801 to book your place.
ealesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health’s transformation has been a collaborative effort between Eastern Health, the Victorian Government and the community. “We would like to thank the Victorian Government IRU WKHLU VLJQLÀFDQW contribution and continued support throughout the redevelopment,” Chief Executive, Adjunct Professor David Plunkett said.
“Our thanks also extend to Commercial Industrial Construction Group (CICG) and their contractors; project manager Johnstaff Projects; architect Bamford Architects; and our other project consultants for their great work on this project. The success of this redevelopment would also not have been possible without the valuable input from all members of the Healesville Redevelopment Liaison Group, our staff, volunteers and the community.” 12334020-KC4-17

Staf bring new skills to Healesville
H
ealesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health will welcome back staff who were temporarily redeployed during the redevelopment, bringing with them a wealth of experience from their time working at other Eastern Health sites. Karen Boyd, a radiographer who has worked at Healesville Hospital since 1986, moved to Maroondah Hospital’s Medical Imaging Department, which includes emergency scans.
“
The staff at Maroondah were extremely welcoming and it has really broadened my knowledge. I went from being the only radiographer at Healesville Hospital to being part of a huge medical imaging team. It was nice to work with people who know exactly what my job is about and understand the work I do.
”
– Karen Boyd
Eastern Health’s Primary Care GP Service, located at Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health, is now open after hours and on weekends and public holidays. As well as business hours, the service is available between 7pm and 10pm Monday to Friday and 12pm to 8pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. “We are thrilled to be able to offer this service for the community. We are currently looking at opportunities to further increase the availability of our GPs.

Phone 1300 793 622 or visit the clinic at 377 Maroondah Highway, Healesville.
Ward clerk Lee Fisher admits that while she was very nervous about her move to the Hospital in the Home service base, Eastern@Home in Ringwood East, she could not fault the experience.
“
It’s been positive in every way. It’s broadened my knowledge of the services that Eastern Health provides and I have learnt so many new things.

He said Don led by example and always had the team’s safety and welfare as his top priority. He described Don as an exceptional driver educator who taught many CFA members driver skills, especially the off-road skills he was renowned for. And, he was a generous mentor. “If you had the time, he had the coffee and would make himself available. CFA was his passion and his life,” Captain Sartori said.

Captain Sartori said CFA was his passion and his life and shared anecdotes of what was sometimes seen as Don’s unorthodox approach to CFA.

DON Bigham was farewelled on Thursday 19 January, as an elder statesman of the CFA and his beloved Gruyere community. Draped in the CFA flag, his coffin was carried on the shoulders of his friends and Gruyere Brigade colleagues to a shiny red fire engine and was both applauded and saluted as he passed by an outstanding guard of honour. Don died on 10 January 2017, as a result of a sudden heart attack. At 71, he had earned the ‘elder’ status, but as more than 1500 people farewelled the much-loved family man, CFA stalwart, ground-breaking farmer and friend, with laughter, tears and deep sadness, there was an overwhelming sense that he had been taken way before his time. His lifelong friend Kevin Spence said on behalf of many - “It’s been a great trip with Don all the way.” Sharing laugh-out-loud stories of their exploits growing up and living their entire lives in Gruyere he added, “It shouldn’t be Don ... he is still ‘Young Donny Bigham’.” Don’s wife of 49 years, Pat, daughters Andrea and Kerri sat at the front of the Heritage Chapel in Woori Yallock, surrounded by family and friends among a sea of CFA and other emergency services uniforms. Leading the service, CFA chaplain and family friend, Harley Kitchen, gave an overview of Don’s life. Born Donald David Bigham on 24 March, 1945, to Jim and Lill Bigham, he had a happy childhood growing up with two brothers, Ken and Alan, and a sister, Eunice, on the family farm at Gruyere. They epitomised the Aussie battler family. Don’s sense of community and strong work ethic were ingrained from an early age. The family was active in the Gruyere community with his father among the founding members of the Gruyere Fire Brigade. “Larger than life”, heard often on the day, encapsulated the qualities of a man who lived life to the full from care-free days shooting rabbits, playing football for Coldstream and driv-

A totally independent hardware store, Healesville Timber & Hardware remains a family owned business operating from 20 Hunter Rd Healesville. The new owners, Eric and Lucie Oude-Meilink, who have resided in Healesville for the past 15 years, are proud to continue providing the local area and surrounds with all their timber and hardware needs. Eric is no stranger to the building trade. For the past 30 years he has gained extensive knowledge in all facets of the industry.

As summer heats up, Badger Creek’s CFA volunteers have two important safety tips for the district. One of them involves residents measuring their driveways. Brigade Captain Joshua Martin said if fire threatened this summer, residents would need not only a plan of action, but also to ensure CFA access to their property. “Modern CFA tankers are 3 metres wide and 3.1 metres high,” Captain Martin said. “So, get the tape measure out and make sure we can easily get through your gate and past any obstructions. “It’s a few minutes’ work that will make a big difference. “CFA tankers are eight metres long, so having room for us to turn around is also important.” Meanwhile, the Badger Creek Fire Brigade is raising funds for an electrical generator which will keep power flowing to the station if mains supply fails. “Recent storms have caused power outages, and the brigade has begun working towards acquiring a 7.5kpa generator that will power our lights, two-way radios, computers, turnout system and the engine bay doors, even if the rest of the area is blacked out,” Captain Martin said. “The fire station is our command centre for local incidents and provides support to volun-

The Healesville Rotary Club has started the ball rolling with a welcome donation of $1000. Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) District 13 President Frank Whelan said Badger Creek Fire Brigade provided professional standards of emergency response all year round. “Badger Creek has 32 CFA volunteers, including eight women who are frontline firefighters,” Mr Whelan said.
Detectives from Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit are investigating a burglary at Coldstream Brewery earlier this month. Police have released images of the man who they have been told went to the brewery on the corner of Maroondah Highway and Killara Road at 4am on Tuesday 3 January.
The man had a ladder which he used to force open a second storey window. He then located two safes which he took with him, including a quantity of cash. The offender, described as having a thin build, a large nose and perceived to be of Caucasian appearance, was wearing a dark hooded jumper with the Nike logo on it.
Police want to talk with this man. 163933

In brief
Eric a cut above By Kath Gannaway Healesville butcher Eric Duff isn’t ready to completely hang up his apron, but after 60 years in the main street of Healesville, he does have a generational succession plan. Eric started an apprenticeship with Alex Christie who had a shop where K&B Butchers are now, and started his own business, The Beef Joint, about 13 years later after Alex passed on. He is by far the longest continuous serving retailer in Healesville, perhaps even in the Yarra Valley! The family, Eric and wife Val, son Ben who works full-time in the business, and grandsons, Cooper and Harrison, celebrated the milestone in December with a sausage sizzle outside the shop he moved into all those years ago. The initial attraction was the opportunity to ride the Christie horses, for fun and at the picnic races, which led to the offer of an apprenticeship. Looking to the future, Eric opted to do the longer Master Butcher apprenticeship which involved working in an abattoir and smallgoods

fresh meat industry. “They handed them the meat industry and after that live poultry, then fish and then rabbits,� Eric said. He remembers when shanks and lambs fry were cheap meats and attributes the popularity of cooking shows to motivating a new generation towards fresh produce and back to home cooking. The streetscape has also changed, along with Healesville. “When I first started, I had 50plus guest houses operating, so had to start at 3am to get all the meat cut and delivered so they had meat for breakfast. He was one of the first to do preprepared meals and Val comes in to do pies, quiches, pates and terrines while Ben recently went overseas to study smallgoods. Eric said he was semi-retired now and enjoying the luxury of a bit of time off. Looking at Cooper and Harrison turning sausages, it’s fair to say Eric is looking to keeping the Duff name firmly ensconced in Healesville’s main street for a long time to come.
Yarra Glen police are appealing for witnesses following a hit-run collision in Launching Place on Saturday 21 January at 6.40pm. Police said a vehicle turned in front of a motorcycle at the intersection of Parkinsons Road and Gembrook-Launching Place Road. The offender was driving a dark-coloured dual cab four-wheel drive, and left the scene with damage to the left rear. The motorcyclist was not seriously injured. Anyone with information is urged to contact Warburton police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Charged for burnouts A 19-year-old East Warburton man was charged with hoon driving offences on Saturday 21 January after police caught him doing burnouts along Warburton Highway in Wesburn. The man was driving a Holden utility in the early hours of the morning, and was summonsed to appear at the Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Drink driver hits tree A drunken driver had a lucky escape after the vehicle he was driving collided with a tree on Mackenzie King Drive in Millgrove at 9.50pm on Saturday 21 January. Warburton police said the 29-year-old male driver recorded a blood alcohol reading of .151 and was summonsed to appear at the Ringwood Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Adieu ‘Elder’ Don in the way he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but the way he stands in times of challenge and inconvenience,� she said. She spoke of his love of the CFA and community saying he was sensitive, passionate and proud of the family he had raised and the many kids he had helped over the years. She spoke of his ‘beloved Gruyere’ and his connection with place and land. “But his most admiration, love and pride was for Mum� Kerri said. She said it was a relationship of friendship, respect, love, support and perseverance. “Dad was like a ship without a compass when Mum was not at home,� she said. “Our parents were those who would On the farm, Don, right, with brothers Ken and Alan, kiss and cuddle in the kitchen ... spontane- sister Eunice and father Jim. 164118 ously dance around the kitchen.� Kerri said her dad was generous in giving of his spirit, time, knowledge and love and said the ultimate expression of his giving was his donation of a kidney to Andrea 10 years ago, giving her the opportunity to live a quality life. On his final resting place Don had made his intentions very clear. He wanted to be buried at Lilydale Memorial Park looking back over the Warramate Hills and keeping an eye on Gruyere. Which he was. And he had strong views on cremation. “He always said he had not fought the red bastard all his life to give in to it at the end,� Kerri said. RIP Don Bigham. As strike team leader. 164118

From front page “He wanted to make sure those people would come home safely. He said Don attended many of the major fires including 1962, ’68 and ’69 fires in the Dandenongs and Ash Wednesday in 1983, which he said had a huge impact on him. He went to the Sydney fires in 1994 and the Dandenongs fires in 1997, the Alpine area in 2003, was active in the Black Saturday fires of 2009, and went up north to the floods in 2010. “Everywhere Don went he made friends. He was always the first to put his hand up to help,� OM Renkin said. Don’s contribution to CFA was recognised with a 55-year service award, life membership of Gruyere Fire Brigade and the CFA and received the National Medal with three bars. There were moving tributes from Don’s great-nieces Tegan and Hannah who were a big part of his life. “Uncle Don was the best man in my life,� Tegan wrote. Hannah recalled how Don would always greet them singing. “You would make a cup of tea and he would go out for a five-minute job,� she said. “By the time his so-called five minute job was finished, it would be cold because we didn’t factor in that it was Gruyere time, not our time.� Kerri spoke of a man, husband and father who measured up to the highest standards. “The ultimate measure of a man is not

You can imagine that your microbiome is like a complex eco-system made up of many different species both symbiotic and pathogenic, many of which will be unique to you and your social group. Alterations in the gut microbiota in emerging evidence has been linked to brain and neurological function, psychiatric symptoms, obesity, diabetes,

irritable bowel syndrome and altered immune function, to list a few. This is referred as the gut-brainimmune axis. Your GIT is responsible for a diverse and well-orchestrated complex of functions such as nutrient absorption, production of vitamins and en-
zymes, neurotransmitter production and healthy brain chemical signalling and around 85 per cent of your immune function, just to name a few. Because the human microbiome plays a significant role in whole health, more attention should be directed towards it beyond simply re-inoculating the gut during and after antibiotic use. A good way to get started on this is to establish what shape your GIT is in. Tests nowadays, and there are numerous types from stool analysis, food intolerance testing and patient questionnaires can determine population numbers of good, bad and opportunistic gut flora, gut germ overgrowth, infectious pathogens, excess fermentation to name just a few.
This approach would play a central role in determining what your body needs as opposed to the one-size-fitsall approach. Diet certainly plays a significant role also. Refined foods such as sugar, caffeine and alcohol can have adverse effects on your gut microbiome, and will tend to feed the pathogenic species, so limit their consumption and keep your diet rich in whole foods, organic seasonal produce to reduce residues of pesticides and antibiotics and regular consumption of fermented foods will support your precious microbiome to thrive. Similarly, using natural-based household and body cleansers can help
avoid unnecessary collateral damage caused by harmful chemical cleaning agents. It may be worth noting that the FDA recently banned the use of antibacterial hand sanitisers due to health concerns and the evidence that most anti-bacterial chemicals are no better at cleaning hands than regular soap. If you’re suffering physical, mental/ emotional, immunological or metabolic health concerns, taking an individual approach to rebalancing your gut microbiome may yield great rewards. Consider it as a complementary and integrative approach to your whole health that will serve you well and enhance your overall wellbeing.

Home school changes a worr y By Kath Gannaway

Ms Wight said in relation to the requirement for approval before a child could be removed from school, the ability to withdraw a child from a negative situation as a matter of urgency was every parent’s right. “Requiring prior approval from bureaucrats with a vested interest in keeping children in school would allow the Education Department to qui-
etly limit home education unless it replicated its own model, which is just not plausible,” she said. The department spokesman said while most home school families did a good job, and the regulations had been working well, the aim should always be for improvement. “Requiring a learning plan from home schooling families and giving the VRQA powers to review a family’s arrangements for home schooling are sensible steps forward,” he said. “It ensures young people get the
education they deserve while still leaving home schooling families with considerable freedom. “There will be no requirement to provide home schooling in accordance with a specified curriculum, no mandatory home visits and registration will be ongoing rather than having to be renewed regularly as in some other states. Assessment will be done by education experts who have experience in different learning styles, including home schooling.”
THE
“In terms of timing - a detailed consultation paper was launched in December last year to allow enough time for an extended consultation period of 60 days - compared to the required 28. “This will enable the development of the final policy in time for the sunset date of June 2017,” he said. Ms Wight urged home school parents and parents of children in mainstream schooling to contact their local member of parliament to push for an extension of time.

Yarra Ranges home schooling parents have railed against proposed changes to regulations they say will result in less time teaching their children and may require children to stay in unsafe environments in mainstream schooling. The Victorian Government released Draft Education Regulations just days before Christmas which include changes that the Home Education network says have the potential to affect parents and their children and has accused the government of legislation by stealth. A spokesman for the Education Department has dismissed the claims saying the changes were being made as part of the Education and Training Reform Regulations, which were made in 2007 and which need to be reviewed after 10 years. Home educator Shona Archer said the timeframe allowed little time for concerned parents to contact their local members of parliament, or for media discussion over summer holidays. She said the draft was due to be ratified when parliament returned on 7 February. Some of the proposed changes include all new home educators to submit a plan for approval, children to remain in school until approval has been given to home school and all home educators to be reviewed on a random basis. Ms Archer voiced concern that the assessments would be done by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority staff, who she claims are inexperienced and not supportive of home education. Susan Wight, co-ordinator of the Home Education Network (HEN) which represents many home educators said there were a number of prob-

Letters Hard times are good Hard rubbish time is a chance to see what is available on the side of our streets. Some folks are very good and creative in the art of re-purposing stuff, so scavenger hunter is a derogatory and unkind term for a genuine re-purposer. To give a new lease of life to pieces of furniture and the like is surely to be encouraged. Neat freaks don’t like hard rubbish day, but, then again, the neat freaks are hard to please any day. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for hard rubbish day so make the most of this wonderful service while we still have it. Stanley R. Burgess, Healesville.

on what’s happening with police, council and other not so great things, but which has a fair share of good news stories as well. I particularly like reading about the young people who do well and contribute in so many ways and who seem to get little recognition in any other forum. The highlight however of my dose of mountain Views is, as a film buff, reading the weekly film review by Seth Hynes. What a talent. Mr Hynes' insight into the films he reviews, his descriptions and analysis and his quirky sense of humour have definitely eased the withdrawal of losing Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton off the ABC a couple of years ago. I particularly enjoyed the round-up of Mr Hynes' best and worst films of 2016 and found myself agreeing with some, and not so much with others, but nonetheless being swayed a little by his reasoning. Please pass on my thanks to Mr Hynes for his weekly dose of film analysis, a much-awaited part of my week. D. O’Sullivan, Yarra Glen.
Community members are invited to share their feedback on the design of the new public space, as part of Yarra Ranges Shire’s Civic Centre redevelopment. The shire’s community engagement team will run a series of ‘popup’ engagement sessions throughout the Yarra Ranges from 2 February to 11 March. Also, a survey will be available, in print and online, through the ‘Have Your Say’ section of www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au, where residents can provide feedback on what they would like to see as part of the new civic space. A full list of ‘pop-up’ engagement sessions is available at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au, as well as Council’s community links. Yarra Ranges Mayor Noel Cliff said the pop-up engagement sessions would also provide an opportunity for the community to view concept plans for the Civic Centre redevelopment. “Please come along to one of the sessions to be heard - I’m keen to hear your ideas on how you might use the

Rodeo fun rated high By Kath Gannaway Organisers have rated Yarra Valley Rodeo held on Saturday 21 January, at Healesville racecourse as a fantastic success. With numbers capped at under 5000 after an unexpected crowd of around 8000 proved unmanageable last year, Yarra Valley Rodeo Committee spokesman Tim Wilson said the committee had worked hard all year to put measures into place to ensure the enjoyment and safety of the rodeo crowd and the community. The event is run by a volunteer committee with proceeds going to local clubs and charities. Mr Wilson said grandstand seating gave people a great view, and the organisers involved the community more with local organisations providing the food stalls and the Yarra Ranges Football Netball League and some local clubs roped in. Extra traffic management and prior notice helped make the event a success. “We had a great night, good viewing, a fantastic crowd, music by popular local band Ruckus and everyone enjoying themselves. “We are learning ourselves, and it will only get better,” Mr Wilson said.

It's 100, by 100, by 100 By Kath Gannaway AFTER enduring seven months of chemo, eight-year-old Oliver (Ollie) Carr is as happy as any kid to be racing around on two wheels with his sister Amelia. Ollie, and kids like him, are the inspiration behind the Warburton Trail Triple Century which aims to have 100 bike riders, raising $100 to ride 100 kilometres to raise $10,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Ollie’s mum, Kylie grew up in the Upper Yarra and his grandmother Lynne Welsh knows first-hand the great job the Royal Children’s Hospital does. On Saturday, 18 February, Lynne will be one of many volunteers supporting the second Triple Century event, and no doubt Ollie will be very much in her thoughts. Oliver was diagnosed with a rare type of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in April last year and while he is now in remission on maintenance, Kylie said it has been a rough road for “the toughest boy I know”. “He had a lot of tests and has had to have chemo treatment and there have been some rough times, including a couple of relapses,” she said. Ollie’s ordeal plunged the whole family into a previously unknown world of oncologists, nurses, social workers, special-

ists, medical terms and treatments that were quite foreign to them, and of course, the uncertainty and pain that Ollie was going through. “There are hundreds of different types of chemo treatments that children have, different for every diagnosis; we had no idea about all that,” Kylie said. “We just can’t thank the Royal Children’s enough. The medical treatment, and the love and support has been amazing. “When you can see where the money is going, being poured into helping the kids, making their life just a bit more comfortable, and getting the treatment they need, it’s an amazing place.” Triple Century organiser, Norm Orr, said it was easy to be inspired by kids like Ollie. “Throughout this tough time Ollie is hardly ever without a
smile, and of course, he is only one of thousands of children given special treatment at the hospital annually,” he said. He said it was the kids who provided the incentive last year for the 85 riders who raised over $9000, and who he is hoping will lift the number to 100-plus this year to raise the $10,000 target. Registration and donations can be done via the warburtontriplecentury facebook. Local people and businesses got behind the ride last year and are coming on board again with the first contribution of a night at the luxurious Deloraine Homestead pledged for a raffle draw for riders, volunteers and donors. Riders, businesses and volunteers who want to be involved can go to the facebook page or phone Norm on 0408 592 504 for details.
One big roo subdued By Jesse Graham RESIDENTS are being warned to give kangaroos a wide berth if they enter properties over summer, after an all-day campaign to subdue a large roo on a Healesville street. At about 8am on Monday, 16 January, Michael Meinhold and Helen Calvert noticed a large kangaroo at the top of their driveway, in a small grassy patch on Symons Street. Though Ms Calvert did not see the kangaroo initially as she picked up the morning paper, she quickly realised and, when the kangaroo had not budged after 45 minutes, called wildlife rescuers. However, it wasn’t until 1.20pm that, with the help of Healesville Police, Healesville SES, residents and Healesville Sanctuary staff, the kangaroo was tranquilised, wrapped up and taken away to the sanctuary. “We thought we better do something - we were worried if it hopped off, it’d get onto the road or get hit by a car, or spook a driver or something like that,” Ms Calvert said. Symons Street runs adjacent to Church Street and Green Street, close to Healesville’s main street and shopping area. The tranquilising followed failed attempts to capture the animal in a net, and the sanctuary sent out staff with a dart gun. Healesville SES Controller, Geoff Stott, said in similar circumstances, it was best to leave the animals be and let them leave of their own accord. “If they got left alone, it

A ‘homely’ hospital feel By Jodie Symonds Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health is bigger and better than ever, and Eastern Health is inviting the public to check it out. An open day will be held on Sunday 29 January for community members to take a tour of the redeveloped Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health. The open day will also double as the hospital’s 60th anniversary. The new and improved building has state-of-the-art equipment, including six renal dialysis machines, surgical theatre rooms, after-hour GP care, paediatricians' rooms. For its indoor facilities and equipment, the building is every bit a hospital, the colour scheme and use of materials gives families a ‘homely’ feel. Director of nursing Yarra Ranges Eastern Health said the oranges, pinks and use of timber were designed to feel unlike a hospital. “The designer did a very good job we didn’t want just plain white walls,” Ms Hughes said. “The pinks and oranges in the paediatricians' rooms are more child-friendly.” Bookings for the open day are still available including noon, 12.15pm, 12.30pm, 12.45pm and 1pm. Healesville Hospital is the only hospital in the Yarra Valley, with Ringwood’s Maroondah Hospital being the closest. “It’s a hospital that is accessible for those in the Yarra Valley, and they won’t have to travel long distances to get the care they need,” Ms Hughes said. “Especially for those community members who need the dialysis machines, some of them need it regularly and it means they won’t have to travel.” For more information, or to book, visit www.trybooking.com/243766

Flick a butt and pay the price By Jodie Symonds The small act of flicking a cigarette butt out of the car could potentially cause a significant fire, says CFA Deputy Chief Officer Garry Cook. Mr Cook said roadside fires posed a significant danger to drivers not only from smoke, but also from flames or falling burning trees or branches, and there was a high potential for tragic consequences.
“Not only is this foolish, but it is a crime,” he said. “Fires can start anywhere and at any time. In Victoria, more than half of bushfires are deliberately lit or caused by reckless behaviour. “Recklessly caused fires are often viewed by the community as accidental, but in reality, the potential for injury, loss of life, property damage and drain on resources is the same as that caused by arson.”
While the CFA is undertaking their part in working to reduce long grass and fuel loads on roads, it’s asking the community to do its part. The Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) said cigarette butts made up about 50 per cent of rubbish. Report any behaviour of throwing cigarette butts out of the car to EPA Victoria on 1300 372 842.

Planning applications in the Yarra Ranges can be tracked online. 163952
Digital plan app-lications THE planning application process in the Yarra Ranges is about to enter the digital age. In an effort to increase productivity and reduce costs, the shire has introduced ePlanning Track, which allows live information on planning applications before council. The service allows the public to search for applications by address, suburb, application number or current advertising. Through this service, the shire has become one of the first Victorian local governments to allow live tracking of planning applications. Yarra Ranges Council Director of Social and Economic Development, Ali Wastie, said ePlanning would revolutionise the way planning services were delivered.
“The community will benefit from a faster turnaround of applications,” Ms Wastie said. “We will significantly reduce our environmental footprint by moving away from a heavily paper reliant way of working throughout 2017.” While presently the public can only track applications, later this year the shire will become the first local government in Victoria to offer track, lodge and inquire facilities. Inquire will allow the community to understand what development can and cannot go ahead on any specific property and can answer simple planning-related inquiries. Lodge will enable the community to lodge applications electronically using online payments and a customised check-
list, showing all the information they will need to provide. The shire estimates the initiative will save 600 reams of paper (equivalent to a 30m stack of A4 pages) and $10,000 in printing costs annually. In addition, the shire said benefits will include: Improved customer service; Faster processing and turnaround of applications; Sharing information more efficiently and transparently with customers. Customers can now access ePlanning online or by using the new computer terminals at all of the Yarra Ranges’ Community Links. Visit ePlanning Track at eplanning.yarraranges.vic.gov. au.

Change on the way for YCA By Derek Schlennstedt THE Victorian Government has announced changes to the implementation of the extended Yellingbo Conservation Area. The decision comes in response to community concerns over the revegetation and bushfire risk in the north east corner of the area, which includes Launching Place, Yarra Junction, Don Valley, Millgrove and Wesburn. In November last year, the Yarra Waterways Group released a report outlining their concerns. These included the potential bushfire risk from revegetation along the Yarra River.
Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’Ambrosio, said the changes would give greater surety to landholders. “We’ve carefully considered the concerns of landholders and are confident that by limiting the width of revegetation, we can better manage bushfire risk,” she said. “The changes have included the revegetation of a maximum of 10m on each side of a waterway and the prioritising of onground works to support bushfire and pest management. “The immediate funding of a priority pests and weeds program means we can tackle key areas of concern, while
longer-term management of pest species in the area is determined through the planning process.“Among the changes, revegetation will not occur within the north-east corner of the conservation area until the bushfire planning process is complete." The management of riparian licences will be issued on an individual basis for a maximum of 10 years to replace grazing licences. In coming months, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning will seek to partner with local landholders and interest groups, such as Landcare, to deliver the new program effectively.
THE Yarra Glen and District Living and Learning Centre was established in 1985 with the aim of providing a place for people to come together, in an atmosphere of equality, to share their skills and experiences and to enjoy companionship. Indeed, the centre has served the community well for more than 32 years, providing various health and wellness classes and facilitating skill development across the wider community through program initiatives. Social gatherings are also held regularly, which have proven to be very successful in ‘Keeping our Community Connected’, as have the children’s
activities held during the school holidays. As Debra Trail, the centre’s office and program manager, explained: “The breadth of what the centre has provided over the years has been about connectedness, health and social well-being, and, very importantly, friendships”. While January last year saw the centre introduce an expanded program offer, in January this year the centre entered into a new partnership with Yarra Ranges Council to oversee the facilitation of the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall and Community Reading Room. Through a dedicated team
of volunteers, community members now have increased access to library services. To view the term one program, visit www.yarraglen. com/livingandlearning, or a hard copy can be collected from: Community Reading Room, IGA, Masala Cafe, Newsagent, Post Office, Yarra Valley Gifts or Yummy You. The Yarra Glen and District Living and Learning Centre is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays - from 9am to 1pm.

Healesville: quite a spectacle The Spectacle Site in Healesville has all your back-to-school needs covered. The locally owned business has been operating optical stores for more than 15 years, and is a trusted name. Many people think that choosing glasses can be a daunting process, especially for kids. But don’t fear! Choosing glasses for children at The Spectacle Site is a quick and easy process, with a large range of frames for kids in-store. If they don’t have on display what you’re looking for, just ask the friendly staff and they’ll source what you need from one of the business' many suppliers. At The Spectacle Site, they use only the best Essilor lenses for all their prescription glasses. Children’s prescription glasses need to be built tough for an active lifestyle. Look for features such as flexible frames, super scratch resistant lenses and UV protectant coatings. Your child’s eyes are special. In the early years, vision helps them to find out about the world around them. Later, as they go through school, their eyesight lets them learn and discover. In fact, about 80 per cent of what is taught in schools is presented visually. Being able to see clearly is, therefore, incredibly important in your child’s overall development. Through regular eye examinations, and by following some simple

guidelines, you can help your child to achieve the best possible vision and prevent conditions that can lead to permanent vision impairment.

For a feast of fine films By Kath Gannaway Three films by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi will feature in the 2017 Healesville Mini Film Festival on Sunday, 5 February. The mini film festival, hosted by Yarra Ranges Film Society, is a unique concept that has in its short history proved successful in bringing significant and connected films by a single director to the screen. Society president, Keith Wade, said the three films on offer this year - About Elly, A Separation and The Salesman, are arguably Farhadi’s best so far. Mr Wade says Farhadi rates as a giant among contemporary film directors. “He possibly ranks alongside Alfred Hitchcock in terms of his influence on other directors of the time, but with quite a different genre,” he said. Farhadi’s work focuses on the lives of ordinary people in family situations under the stresses that can put pressure on the relationships. “It’s something we can all relate to,” Mr Wade said. “These are films of drama and psychological tension seeking a resolution.”
The final film, The Salesman, was shown at the 2016 Melbourne International Film Festival and as yet has not had a public release in Australia. Healesville is offering the first chance to see this film since the Melbourne International. Adding significantly to the enjoyment and understanding of the films, renowned film critic, Paul Harris from 3RRR Film Buffs Forecast, will introduce and offer comment on each film. Session times are 9.45am About Elly (Iran, 2009, PG) followed by the lunch break at 11.45am. A Separation (Iran, 2011, PG)starts at 1.10pm followed by The Salesman (Iran, 2016, rating to be advised) at 3.45pm. Tickets are available on the morning, but to be sure of a seat it’s wise to book on line at www.culturetracks.info or purchase tickets in advance at The Memo in Healesville or The Arts Centre in Warburton. Ticket prices are $33 for the three films, or $14.50 per film. For more information visit www.yarrarangesfilmsociety. com.au.
Pictured checking out the festival program with Keith Wade are Healesville Community (Bendigo) Bank director Sandra Picture: PETER DOUGLAS Schoffer and Yarra Ranges Council's Cr Fiona McAllister with daughter Lexie. 163962
An alternative milestone Born from a desire to explore alternative farming options and a need to establish a platform to showcase them, original owners Colin and Bev Stray opened the gates to the first Seymour Alternative Farming Expo in 1992. “The event has grown in every way but it’s always held its theme,” Mr Stray said. “It still has the opportunity for farmers to showcase alternative faming processes, but new things have been brought in such as building construction and design and building materials.” The expo now provides a mix of an old-fashioned agricultural show, expo and farmers’ field day.
“It has changed from an ‘alternative hippie’ to an ‘alternative innovative and educational’ event,” Ms Connick said. “The meaning of alternative now has a broader focus as farmers, especially small acreage farmers, are always on the lookout for the latest technologies, equipment, services, breeds, environmental solutions,” she said. The Seymour Alternative Farming Expo consistently attracts up to 500 exhibitors and over 20,000 visitors over the three days and is renowned as a unique farming expo that has something for everyone.

Land-Ho for La-La Land love La-La Land (M) Starring: Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling La-La Land has been taking the awards season by storm, and for good reason. Directed and written by Whiplash’s Damien Chazelle, La-La Land follows aspiring actress Mia (Emma Stone) and jazz pianist Seb (Ryan Gosling) as they fall in love and pursue their dreams. La-La Land is a charming tribute to the golden age of Hollywood, but is careful to avoid a rose-tinted view of moviemaking (or anything else). Mia and Seb both struggle to advance in their fields and have their talents recognised, and must weather hardships and compromise. While their process of coming together feels somewhat rushed, Stone and Gosling
have fantastic chemistry, and the film wisely depicts the inherent messiness of so many relationships. People can be insecure, selfish and capricious sometimes, and La-La Land never shies away from this, finally culminating in a gratifyingly mature, non-fairytale ending. The cinematography is vibrant and richly coloured, and the art direction has a magical, timeless quality to it. I don’t like jazz, but I still appreciated the film’s evident passion for the genre. The only weak link is the musical numbers. While the songs are lively and sweet, the lyrics are rather inane, and the dance choreography is stilted and lacking in energy. Ironically, La-La Land falls short in the musical department, but overall it’s a poignant and delightful experience. - Seth Lukas Hynes

The Seymour Alternative Farming Expo celebrates its 25th anniversary in February, marking a milestone for the event that is one of the most successful events of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Event co-ordinator, Liz Connick said the three-day expo, on 17, 18 and 19 February this year, had become firmly cemented on the farming calendar. “Farmers have had to reinvent themselves, their methods and their approaches and are constantly looking for new ideas to introduce to their businesses,” Ms Connick said. “Australians in general are known worldwide for being an innovative bunch and farming is no exception.”

Daring Eagles are soaring By Chris Anderson YVCA The time has come in the season when the whips start cracking and teams start jockeying for prime position in the run to finals. For some teams with finals all but assured, it’s about playing your best cricket and finding form at the right time. In the Yarra Valley’s top grade, DJ Strachan Shield, each game has its story in the shaping of the final ladder. Yarra Junction has been one of those sides camped in the middle of the ladder, and in recent rounds their form has almost locked themselves into the top four. A win in round 11 against Woori Yallock would not only all but secure a finals position, but another top three scalps would give them great confidence. Yarra Junction won the toss and, in a surprise, elected to bowl in great condition; and this proved to be a master stroke as the Eagles heaped the pressure on Woori Yallock from the opening over. Opening bowlers Quinton Hodgkinson and Nick Bark kept things tight; and the early prized wicket of Woori captain Ryan Smith had the visitors on the front foot early. Terry Ottrey and Hayden Wilson backed up their openers and with a wicket each; they had the Tigers on the ropes at 3/36. Simon Young joined Troy Murphy at the wicket and, in typical Young fashion, immediately put the pressure right back on the bowlers. In a whirlwind attack, Young quickly elevated the run rate and regained some parity in the battle between bat and ball. Murphy proved to be a useful ally, and the pair proceeded to put their side in a strong position heading into the tea interval. Murphy’s wicket to the hand of Cam Spaulding on the stroke of tea proved pivotal in the shape of the innings after a key 63-run partnership to leave things back on the edge at 4/99. The real turning point arrived soon after the resumption of play. With Young seemingly in total control, racing to an impressive half century, a critical error in running between wickets cost him his wicket on 63, and unnecessarily gave Yarra Junction back
the ascendancy of the contest at 5/119. Woori Yallock has struggled in the back half of their innings in recent times, and Bark (4/36) and Spaulding (2/32) pounced on the Tigers’ vulnerable tail. The innings fell away quickly as the home team captured 6 for 26 to dismiss Woori Yallock for a below par 145. The Eagles would’ve been well pleased with their effort getting off to a great start, weathering the middle order onslaught, holding their nerve, then, closing out the innings in clinical fashion. Woori Yallock would’ve backed itself to make early inroads into the Yarra Junction line-up considering their firepower; and, when they picked up Matthew Scott in the second over, things looked ominous for the visitors. Andrew Taylor made the most of his elevation in the order, and his stroke play kept the pressure on the Tigers, and ensured the scoreboard ticked over. His wicket in the shadows of stumps was essentially the only blight on a near perfect day for the Eagles, and with the score on 2/50, and their best batsmen still to come, they are certainly in front of this contest. Woori Yallock will rely heavily on their pace duo of Jackson Wright and Young if they are to force their way back into this contest; and early wickets on the second day would make things interesting. Yarra Junction, however, is finding form at the right time of the year, and some resolve from their incoming batsmen will serve them well if the side is to chase the small, yet tricky total. Mount Evelyn travelled to Seville in a key match-up for both teams. For Mount Evelyn, it is a matter of considering its position in their chase for some consistent form; and a home final, while Seville seems to be the only team in the running to uproot Yarra Junction from the top four. Upon seeing their oval covered in sand and effecting the scoring possibilities, Seville elected to bowl first in a bid to frustrate the visitors with some tight bowling. That proved to be the trend early in this contest. Both opening batsmen and bowlers danced about the ring without landing any huge blows upon their opposition. The bowlers kept it tight, while the
batsmen were unable to penetrate a well set field for the conditions. After the wicket of Daniel Giblin early, Daniel and Gareth Fraser consolidated the innings while fighting the urge to hit out as scoring proved to be difficult. The pair managed to slowly piece together a useful 39-run partnership, but when Daniel missed a straight one, and Brad Jones soon followed, Seville had itself well in the contest with the score on 3/67. Kane Jones joined Gareth Fraser at the wicket, and one sensed this would be a critical point in the game. Fraser found his scoring vibe, and Jones assisted with some controlled hitting. Just as he looked comfortable with proceedings, Fraser lost his wicket to a loose shot after posting his halfcentury. When Luke Jones followed soon after, the visitors were wobbling at 5/95. Another wicket before tea, and Seville had assumed control of the contest at 6/120 at the main break. With Kane Jones still at the wicket, it was imperative for the remainder of the Mounters batting line-up to stick with their captain as he was looking dangerous. A series of useful partnerships after tea allowed the wickets to remain intact while Jones counter attacked against some well executed bowling from the Blues. The visitors were able to push the total beyond 200, courtesy of a masterful century by Jones. His clean hitting and smart game play late in the innings were pivotal point for the visitors who had generally fumbled their way through the innings. Eventually, the home side held their nerve and were able to remove Jones’ partners inside the day’s play to finish the innings off for 214. A solid batting performance from Seville with plenty of patience and discipline considering the conditions could see the home team challenge the total, but the loss of two wickets before the close of play have left them with plenty of work to do. Mount Evelyn would consider itself ahead of the contest, considering their disciplined bowling line-up and the ability in the field, but a couple of good partnerships would quickly put the pressure on the visitors.
In the final contest of the round, Warburton-Millgrove flexed their collective muscles with the bat against Yarra Glen. The Burras have established themselves as the best team in the competition, and a lot of this has been based on their deep batting line-up. Not only is it littered with quality batsmen, but their ability to absorb an early innings wobble is impressive. There were certainly no wobbles in this innings as consistent partnerships across the 75 overs enabled the home team to construct an impressive total of 8/333. Just when you think a team can’t get any stronger, the Burras were able to recruit Sean Humphrey during the Christmas break, and he has made an immediate impact on his new club. Fitting nicely into the top-order, Humphrey controlled proceedings from the moment he took guard to the moment he raised his bat to celebrate an impressive century. Humphrey was well supported by Liam Barnard who has found some post-Christmas form with a confidence boosting 60; while contributions from Ben Lever (39), Tim McKail (38), Jake Neale (34) and Jason King (32no) ensured there were no lulls in this assault. Jimmy Lusk was again his team’s best bowler doing his best to resist with figures of 3/107, but the young Yarra Glen outfit battled to contain the competition leaders. The total would seem to be out of Yarra Glen’s reach, with much responsibility resting on the shoulders of inform top order batsmen Brendan Ricci and David Brambilla, along with the experience of Richard Ellisdon. On the flipside, the visitors will view this as an excellent opportunity to test their resolve and get an indication of their development this season in the top flight - regardless of the final result. Warburton-Millgrove will be eyeing a quick kill just to enhance their standing in the competition leading into the pointy end. DJ Strachan Shield Seville 2/8 v Mount Evelyn 214 (K. Jones 106no, G.

Motoring Pearson continues to impress YOUNGSTER Cameron Pearson has continued his rapid rise through the Late Model ranks with some impressive results in the 2016-'17 season.
He recently scored a second-place finish on Saturday 14 January in the Victorian Title at Wangaratta City Speedway. The Healesville driver, 17, achieved his best career-result to date since joining the class last season, when he managed to steer his brand-new Vic # 10 XR1 Rocket machine to a runner-up finish in the 30-lap Victorian Title-deciding feature race, behind Ben Nicastri. This result came off the back of a disappointing Victorian Title run last season at Alexandra Speedway, where Pearson blew an engine in the feature race while running third. Looking to make amends in this season’s running of the event, which doubled as the third round of the Victorian Series, Pearson progressed through the field in the first half of the feature race after starting seventh by virtue of his third, fourth and fifthplace finishes in his heat races earlier in the night. Having moved up to third by the middle stages, Pearson made a passing move on his team-mate Daniel Barton in traffic with three laps to go to claim the second spot, a position he managed to retain all the way through to the fall of the chequered flag. “To finish second in a state title be-

hind a driver of Ben’s calibre is a really encouraging result for us,” Pearson said. “It was also great to share the podium with my team-mate Daniel. “Both of our cars are very competitive, which is due to all of the hard work put in by our team, so I have to say a huge thankyou to them, along with all of our sponsors for their ongoing support.” Making his season debut at Sydney’s Valvoline Raceway (NSW), Pearson came away with a positive
outlook despite the feature race being cancelled due to rain, having won his second heat race of the night in a new and unfamiliar car. The following month at Rushworth Speedway, Pearson, who was the youngest driver nominated for the event, qualified on pole position for the feature race and was never headed, taking out the opening Victorian Series round, while round two of the Victorian Series at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway saw him finish 10th. Pearson’s team-mate Barton also has a successful speedway pedigree,

having previously raced Street Stocks. The former National Street Stock Champion, who recently stepped into Late Models, put in an impressive performance on Saturday night, continuing the team’s success by piloting Justin Pearson’s (Cameron’s dad) 2016 XR1 Rocket car to a third-place finish in the Victorian Title, after running second for the majority of the race. For their next outing, Pearson and Barton will head to Wahgunyah Speedway to contest their True Blue $1000 to win fourth Victorian Series round on 28 January, which will be run in

conjunction with the National Production Sedan Title, before visiting Swan Hill’s Sonic Speedway on 11 February for round five. The team will then travel to Premier Speedway where they will battle it out in the Australian Championship on 2425 February. “We’re in good form at the moment, so hopefully we can continue that form in coming weeks to score some more positive results and build towards a competitive showing at the Australian Title,” Pearson said.
