Best in the Yarra Valley ... and best in Australia! The Middleton family’s pioneering Mount Mary Winery was named Winery of the Year at the annual Halliday Wine Companion Awards earlier this month. Second and third generation winemakers, David Middleton and son, Sam (pictured), accepted the award which they say is recognition not only of Mount Mary, but of the Yarra Valley as a premier wine-growing region of Australia.

Hero sister’s good call By Kath Gannaway
What do you like about living in the Yarra Valley? I've lived and worked in the valley all my life so I’m a touch spoilt. I love the clean air when riding along aqueduct and rail trail, motor cycle riding in the hills midweek on empty roads and the "slower" pace of life. 172132 Jeff Gill. Warburton.
Driving up from the suburbs each day it’s beautiful with the hills and wineries along the way. In the early morning I can see the sun rise every day, sometimes it’s foggy which can be beautiful too, and a few times I can see kangaroos. 172132 Shree Shegaonkar. Works Healesville.

Lilia Corbett, 13, was hailed for her ‘amazingness’ her bravery and her clear thinking in June this year when she was awarded a Junior Triple Zero Hero Award. Lilia rang triple-zero when her 17-year-old sister Georgia suffered a potentially lethal anaphylactic episode at their Yarra Glen home. The award was presented by the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA). Georgia suffers from a severe auto-immune disorder that causes anaphylaxis. She was bringing in the washing when she started to feel she couldn’t breathe. Lilia swung into action getting Georgia her EPI pen and calling the ambulance. “She was so brave ... everything that Daniel asked her, she was able to answer,” the girls’ mother Lee said. “I could hear Georgia in the background really struggling to breath, she was too sick to help in any way but Lilia was looking after her and answering all the questions.” No-one was more in awe of Lilia’s actions than Daniel Robotham, the ESTA call-taker at the other end of the triple-zero line. “It’s always quite scary when you can hear someone in the background struggling to breathe at the start of a call,” he said. “Hearing Lil’s voice, she was so calm and had the situation so under control already, my job was just to

Lilia added that the award was recognition for young people in general.
“It was nice for us kids to be seen as people who can do this stuff,” she said. “And that anyone can do it.” And Georgia? “The thing about little sisters ... they can amaze you, even if they’re younger than you,” she said.

Our top citizens By Kath Gannaway Hard-work, dedication, passion, a love of community and unerring commitment to making things happen were common traits of the Yarra Ranges Council’s Australia Day Award winners. Among those recognised was Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander woman Dr Doseena Fergie who was named Citizen of the Year in recognition of her dedication to ‘closing the gap’ in Yarra Ranges. Warburton environment defenders Ben and Ruth Aldridge were up there too, awarded the Ian De La Rue Community Leadership Award for their efforts in keeping the town free of rubbish for more than a decade, and for their outstanding leadership by example. Dr Fergie has been a leader within the local Indigenous community and a driving force behind the ongoing success of the Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA). Yarra Ranges mayor Noel Cliff said that as an active and respected Elder, Ms Fergie had helped to nurture many young emerging Indigenous leaders and that her leadership had provided the Healesville Aboriginal community with a welcoming, culturally affirming place that provided a central point of contact for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Mr and Mrs Aldridge have made a huge difference but say they feel they are just the tip of a very large volunteer iceberg in Warburton. “They are the people who make so many things around Warburton run,” he said.
Stories to inspire By Peter Douglas
Honoured on Australia Day, Ben and Ruth Aldridge and Dr Doseena Fergie. 164326 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY He said they are collecting 80 per cent less rubbish now than when they started. “That’s not because we preach about it, we’ve just done it and people have seen that and responded,” he said. That includes the skate park. “We went past most days of the
week and young people saw us and today you can go four or five days without picking up one piece of rubbish there,” he said. “If young people are given some leadership, given a good example, they will follow. “I’m convinced of that.” Chum Creek Primary School,
Coldstream strawberry farmer Sam Violi, Healesville school support volunteer Colin Pierrehumbert, and Tom Steele, a Dixons Creek CFA volunteer with decades of volunteer service in many other forums were also recognised as their community’s best in the 2017 Australia Day Awards.
Did you know? By Kath Gannaway What does the stately and imposing 19th century guest house have in common with a brassiere factory? Two things, both Gracedale House and the Hickory women’s wear were located in Healeville, and both had connections to one of the town’s prominent families, the Dowds. Patriach, Thomas J. Dowd (1884-1955) rented and later purchased Gracedale House in 1947, conducting a restaurant where nothing less than dressing for dinner was on the menu. The next generation of Dowds began making Hickory women’s wear, particularly bras, first in the former Palais building opposite the police station, before building a new factory in 1962 which is now the Liberty Family Church. They employed up to 70 local women before closing in the early 1980s.
Gracedale House was a landmark guest house opposite Maroondah Dam. Pictured Circa 1890. 172194
The Mail’s ‘Best of’ supplement is one of the most-loved features to prepare in the newsroom, because it’s the editorial team’s chance to sift through all the positive, incredible achievements and stories that circulate within the Yarra Valley. We love our community and we enjoy highlighting the achievements of the many inspiring individuals and organisations in the region that give back so much. The only tough part is trying to whittle down the list of candidates because, let’s face it, there are too many to mention in just one edition. For this year, though, there is definitely a theme of excellence and continuity with our stories highlighting the achievements of the longstanding Mount Mary Winery, and of youth with teen Triple-Zero Hero Leila Corbett and the outstanding Australian aerobics champions, Pink Warriors. There is also a sporting flavour, as we highlight the incredible rise in participation of women’s football throughout the Yarra Ranges. Fresh off the success of the inaugural AFL Women’s competition, player numbers and teams have ballooned over the past year. There is even a local trailblazer who has helped pave a path for young, aspiring female footballers - in Sarah D’Arcy. D’Arcy has lived out the dream of many, playing in front of 25,000 while wearing the black ‘n’ white stripes of Collingwood. Ask any of the locals what they love about living where they live, or working in the Yarra Valley (as we did) and almost invariably it’s about the breath-taking natural environment and the sense of community ... the people. So take your time to indulge in what we’ve prepared for you in this fantastic ‘Best of’ edition of the Mail. Peter Douglas, Editor

Family’s roots in tradition By Kath Gannaway There’s a lot of work involved in doing things the traditional way and for Mount Mary Winery in the Yarra Valley it’s a work ethic that’s proved itself over three generations. Mount Mary is owned and operated by the Middleton family. Dr David Middleton, who is the son of the late founders Dr John and Marli Middleton, his wife Victoria and their three children Claire, Sam and Hugh, are all involved with Mount Mary in varying capacities. Being named 2018 Winery of the Year in the Halliday Wine Companion, the industry benchmark for Australian wine, is recognition of both the romantic vision and the well-established practices on which Mount Mary was founded. “We don’t irrigate, we hand prune using the long cane pruning method, and we hand pick, and that definitely makes a difference for the fruit quality,” said David of the philosophy that holds true, that hands-on produces consistently excellent wines.

Pioneers of the ‘70s resurrgence of the Yarra Valley wine industry, Dr John and Marli Middleton. His parents planted the first vines on the Old Coldstream West Road vineyard in 1971 and they were in good company with the likes of Dr Bailey Carrodus from Yarra Yering, Reg Egan from Wantirna Estate, Guill de Pury from Yeringberg and Dr Peter McMahon from Seville Estate, pioneering the resurgence of the Yarra Valley as a premium wine-producing region. There was a romance in that renaissance era and David said for his father it was his love, particularly of the Burgundy region of France. “My father was taken with Burgundy, loved the region and was fascinated by the wines,” he said. “We were built on Cabernet, but the romance for him lay in Burgundy with the small holdings and family environment. “That was the vision he had in mind when he created Mount Mary and we would love to retain that configuration. “We don’t want to expand to volumes where we have to start to use bulk handling methods.” The family aspect is also on firm ground with son Sam as wine-maker, daughter Claire Podsiadly as business manager, and, with the birth of a first grandchild eight months ago, potentially a succession plan in place. “We’re saying the fourth generation of Mount Mary has begun,” David said, obviously pleased

at the possibility. While wine shows and medals have never been a priority for Mount Mary, David said they were proud and honoured to be chosen as Winery of the Year at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards night on 2 August. It’s a significant accolade; not only best winery in the Yarra Valley... best winery in Australia. “Well yes... in James’s mind it does,” David said a little hesitant to personally make such a big claim. “To receive this commendation from such a renowned and well-respected wine expert as James means a lot to us and gives us great confidence for the future,” he said. “James expressed his thoughts on why he decided to recognise Mount Mary in this way,” he said. “The key reasons were our history, family continuity, consistency, our future vision and the creation of our Marli Russell white and red wines made from seven varieties we began planting in 2008. “We have always felt we have a consistency and we have a loyal following but it’s nice to know someone else has been watching and enjoying what we are doing.” The 2008 varieties are traditionally grown in the Rhone Valley of France and David said their vision in planting the vines was to continue to ex-
plore the potential of the unique Mount Mary site to create new and exciting wines. Paying tribute at the awards night to the Mount Mary team, past and present, he said it was their efforts which enabled the winery to earn such an accolade. “It is great recognition of their dedication to building on my father, Dr John Middleton’s, legacy while also showing great leadership to adapt and change in this ever-evolving industry.” He said the award was also recognition of the Yarra Valley as a premier wine-growing region of Australia. “It is the region that has the magic,” he said. “It’s the Yarra Valley that has the ability to produce premier wines, something that was proven back in the 1800s that this area is terrific for growing Cabernet, so the magic is in the site and we are just trying to maximise what the site has to offer. “Our wines now have a reputation for being well made and for having a good cellar life as well. “One of the most pleasing things for us is that people will buy our wines when a baby is born and know they are going to open it on their 21st and it will be presentable.” Perhaps a 2015 Mount Mary Yarra Valley Pinor Noir? Mr Halliday’s choice for Best Pinot Noir.

Girls can tackle anything By Kath Gannaway
What is it you like about living in the Yarra Valley? I love the mountain surroundings and the peacefulness driving out from the city that sense of getting away from it all when you re going through the farms on the way to Healesville. It s a sense of leaving the busyness behind, then being free to create your own busyness according to what you want to do.
Alan Honeycombe. Healesville. 172132
What do think of cultural offerings in the Yarra Valley? I like that the Yarra Valley hosts a lot of plays and more independent and foreign films at The Memo in Healesville and The Mecca in Warburton. I like how there s a very widespread but collective vision for art in the Yarra Valley. We host a lot of talent and plays and I m very glad to see Seth Hynes. Healesville. 172132 that.
What is your favourite walk in the Yarra Valley? I walk mainly around my local area but you can t go past the Warby Trail. I enjoy the peace and quiet. It has a serenity about it. Love the views, fresh air and the birds.

The Yarra Valley has embraced Women’s football from grass roots to the very pinnacle of the game. Healesville footballer Sarah D’Arcy, a 25-year-old left-footer, ran out for Collingwood on Friday night, 3 February as part of the inaugural AFL Women’s League first round. An audience of 1.019 million people watched on free-to-air and pay TV. Sarah was an inspiration to the girls and women who answered the call of local clubs across Yarra Ranges who, for perhaps the first time ever, saw a very real future for women in the game. The Eastern Region Girls Football League is now home to U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18 girls teams following Eastern Football League and AFL Yarra Ranges partnering to provide opportunities for girls to get some skin in the game. AFL Yarra Ranges general manager Aaron Bailey said girls and women’s football had grown substantially this season from 36 sides to over 100, forecast to reach around 140 next season. Yarra Junction and Mount Evelyn have women’s teams in the South Eastern Competition. He said the level of interest and the growth was something they were not prepared for, but the partnership with Eastern Region was working well. “We got the structure right and were able to grow ... with AFL Women’s the interest sparked significantly,” Mr Bailey said. “If we can get teams in every age group, that’s where the Eastern Region partnership works really well in that it creates opportunities for AFL Yarra Ranges to grade girls and provide competition at their own level. “Our philosophy is that people will travel for the competition. “What’s really pleasing is the buy-in from all our clubs,” he said with more clubs indicating they will field girls’ teams next season. The girls are making their mark with outside the home and away games with 70 to 80 girls playing representative football including in the TAC Cup, seven girls in the under-18 Victorian Squad and three All Australians. Certainly, there was no way, nearly two decades ago when Sarah was part of the Healesville VicKick program that she could have envisaged those opportunities, or playing for the mighty Magpies before a crowd of 24,500 in a historymaking match. “It was crazy ... we couldn’t even hear our team-mates talking to us on the field,” Sarah said. “It didn’t feel like they were cheering for one team, it felt like they were cheering for all of us. “Just cheering for women’s footy.” In March Yarra Junction Football Club was typical of clubs throughout the Yarra Ranges building on the excitement and promise of the AFL experience. It’s a very different setting for players like Sarah Wilcox who is juggling early evening practice with feeding her two youngsters - and another she is looking after. The determination is the same though. “Anything’s possible,” she says when asked about the challenges of signing on with the fledg-

At 37 she was venturing into women’s football for the first time, having grown up in rugby country. In a couple of practices she has mastered kicking and handballing and is justifiably proud of that achievement. “If I was younger I would have loved this ... and I could have done it,” she said alluding to the opportunity for young women to make a real go at AFL. The opportunities are there now and girls and women in the Yarra Valley and across Yarra Ranges are making the most of them. Sarah D’Arcy believes the future of women’s

Issues such as development programs, pathways, player payments, different rules and just where women’s football fits in with the traditional AFL game, are all part of that process. “I’m just happy to be out there,” Sarah said.

BEST OF Launching Place's Gold-winning Pink Warriors team. From left are: Emily, Amarli, Chelsea, Paige, Ally, Chelsey and Taleisha.
Warriors get the gold By Kath Gannaway Launching Place Primary School’s Pink Warriors tapped into a rich vein of gold on the Gold Coast in August. The girls won gold the Primary Littlies competition at the Schoolaerobics National Championships. The school’s grade three girls ‘Disco Divas’ took out silver in the
Future Legends Competition and the Grade 5/6 boys ‘Kryptonite, won bronze in the All Boys Competition. The success in the 2017 championships is the result of years of hard work and dedication building on previous successes in a highly competitive sport. Eight of the school’s nine teams qualified at state level, with three of
those teams qualifying to compete against Australia’s best at national level. Teacher and aerobics program organiser Candice Nyman said the Pink Warriors win was a massive achievement. “The girls were really excited, because not only are you representing Launching Place, but you are
representing Victoria in the National Competition,” she said. “Our Pink Warriors team won the silver at National level last year, so it was fantastic to see them jump up a spot and win it this year.” Pink Warriors ... not only the best of the Yarra Valley, but the best on a national stage.

What do like about your part of the Yarra Valley? I like the whole Yarra Valley because you have the open spaces around you.

By Kath Gannaway One of the Yarra Valley’s prettiest and most secluded picnic spots, Donnelly’s Weir in Healesville, has a national claim to fame. Donnelly’s Weir marks the end (or from a Yarra Valley perspective, the start) of the Bicentennial National Trial, or the BNT. Originally known as the National Horse Trail, it is one of the longest multi-use, non-motorised, self-reliant trails in the world, stretching 5330 kilometres from Cooktown in Queensland to Healesville. The trail was actually officially opened by R.M. Williams CMG, on 16 October, 1988, at a spot a bit further up the mountain, on the Monda Track at Toolangi, although the plaque that marks the occasion is located at Donnelly’s. Victorian BNT co-ordinator, Jo Kasch from Narbethong, explained that Monda Track was chosen for the launch because Donnelly’s was too tight a space for the great numbers of people and horses attending.
What do you like about the Yarra Valley? The people and the scenery. It s not too far away from the city but still has that country feeling. The people are friendly and they look after each other. When someone is in need people come together to help. 172132 Nabih Barsoum. Lilydale. Works Wandin.

■ Last-minute VCAT agreement allows superstore to go ahead...
ALDI go-ahead By Kath Gannaway Construction of an ALDI supermarket in Healesville could start early next year following a marathon VCAT mediation meeting on Tuesday 22 August. Yarra Ranges Council faced a double-headed appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal with ALDI| appealing against the conditions attached to a permit granted in April, and objectors calling for a review of the council’s decision.
The main sticking point for ALDI was a requirement to reduce the overall height of the building from 7.42 metres to 7 metres at the front, and from 11.26 metres to 9.6 metres along the Church and River Street frontages. Concerns raised by objectors included the scale and height of the building and the lack of an ‘active shop front’. Yarra Ranges Council’s Director of Social and Economic Development Ali Wastie confirmed that agreement was
reached, and a planning permit would be issued. “The VCAT matters regarding the proposed ALDI supermarket in Healesville have been resolved, with a planning permit to be issued subject to variance agreed to by all parties, including ALDI, VicRoads, the objectors and council,” Ms Wastie said. She said the matter would not return to the council because a decision had already been made to issue a permit.
“The new permit with the agreed variations will be issued once the VCAT order is made,” she said. ALDI has welcomed the outcome saying it was “eager to bring their unique shopping experience to more Australians”. An ALDI spokesperson said the company had been pleased in April that the council had granted approval for the development of a Healesville store, but had lodged the VCAT appeal
in relation to a number of conditions which “required further clarification”. “At the mediation meeting on Tuesday 22 August, the parties were able to reach an agreement which resulted in the matter not being required to go to a full VCAT hearing,” he said. The Mail understands that some concessions were made to achieve a more active street frontage and to the configuration of the tower to address the height issue while meeting ALDI’s needs.

Amazing characters and curious incidents from Yarra Valley’s history come to life on the pages of a new book by talented writer Barry Watts. ‘Echoes from the mid-Yarra Valley: Bridging the Past and the Present’ pays tribute to wellknown and more obscure - but equally fascinating - Yarra Valley personalities down the years and events which have shaped this beautiful part of the world. Featured is a cavalcade of characters with connections to the Yarra Valley, from the Valley’s favourite songbird, soprano Dame Nellie Melba, to the Yarra Valley pioneer who engaged in a pistol duel at daybreak on the site of today’s Southern Cross railway station. Read about an Indian hawker by the name of Gareeb, a platypus called Winston (after the British Prime Minister), and much more. In 20 chapters, Watts reveals in a series of lively historical snapshots what these characters said and did, where they lived, and what survives today to remind us of their various contributions to the development of the Valley’s reputation for hospitality and creativity. The author was born and bred in the Yarra Valley and attended Yarra Glen State School and Lilydale High School before university and a career in advertising and publishing. He taught professional writing and editing for a dozen years before he retired, and has published six books. He now lives

It’s the right kind of signal By Kath Gannaway Steels Creek community is mobile, and connected. The Steels Creek mobile communications tower was officially launched on Saturday 21 August, by Federal Government Communications Minister Senator Mitch Fifield. Community members joined the minister, Casey MP Tony Smith, Telstra’s Acting Area General Manager for Eastern Victoria Wendy Duff and Yarra Ranges Council’s Ryrie Ward representative Cr Fiona McAllister for the launch. The tower, located on a high point on private property is funded under the government’s Mobile Blackspot Program to expand and improve 3G and 4G mobile coverage in rural and regional areas. Communication was a key issue following the Black Saturday bushfires in terms of how the breakdown in communication impacted on the Steels Creek community on that February day, and in the weeks, months and years following. Mr Fifield said the Coalition came into government in 2013 committed to fixing mobile black spots around the country and had invested $220 million in the program. “Since the day I became minister, Tony Smith has been in my ear to get the Steels Creek mobile tower build as quickly as possible,� he said.
Senator Mitch Fifield and Casey MP Tony Smith spoke at the Community Centre. 172267 from increased mobile phone reception thanks to the tower.� Ms Duff said Steels Creek is one of 577 black spot towers to be rolled out over the next couple of years. “It was really great to see so many of the community turn out,� she said. “The overarching feeling I got was of a community that is really strong in itself, really engaged with their community needs and wants and really excited to see the next stage of community life,� she said. She said speaking to community members reinforced that nearly nine years after the 2009 bushfires having 3G and 4G communications made them feel a lot safer. “But they also spoke about the future of the community,� Ms Duff said. “They spoke about the benfits of kids being able to study and of them being able to access information on a

cipient of the first mobile phone tower in the area funded by the program. “Now the tower is switched on, many residents who had little or no coverage are now connected,� he said. “Steels Creek is now a safer community for residents and tourists. Local businesses will also benefit greatly
nightly basis, so there is the security, and how they are moving forward as well.� Ms Duff said the location of the tower overlooking the majority of the community, and the community centre dealt with some of the tricky aspects of the topography of Steels Creek and would make a real difference to how Steels Creek residents led their lives. “Visitors to the area, which is obviously a great tourist location with all the wonderful wine and produce, will also benefit,� she said. Steels Creek Community Association past president Allan Giffard said the tower was a good outcome for the Steels Creek community. “One of the most encouraging things as a community was that it was a collaboration between the local community, Yarra Ranges Council and the State and Federal governments. “To enable that to happen you need someone to drive that and Tony (Smith) was the driving force in ensuring everyone was on the same page to enable this to happen as quickly as possible,� he said. He said access to 3G and 4G communication would provide peace of mind. “Certainly safety is important, but so is peace of mind,� he said. “Knowing we now have communications available, that in itself is just as important as everything else.�
Black Saturday planning deadlines In brief By Kath Gannaway Property owners in Murrindindi Shire planning to rebuild after the 2009 bushfires, have just one month to apply under Temporary Planning Provisions (TPP). The TPP process, implemented to streamline the planning processes after the fires for those whose homes had been badly damaged or destroyed, will close on 30 September. Anyone with a planning consent under the TPP, or who believes they are eligible but has not applied, is being urged to check what action needs to be taken before that deadline. Murrindindi Shire Council mayor Charlie Bisset said anyone intending to rebuild needed to find out what the TPP deadline meant for them. “I encourage you to get in touch with the council’s planning unit - they are there to help even if you are still undecided about rebuilding,� Cr Bisset said. He said landowners who
have permission to stay in temporary accommodation have a further year before that permission expires on 30 September 2018. Landowners were previously notified about the deadlines and were invited to attend dropin sessions held in July. “The details set out in that letter also appear on the council’s website, including an information sheet to help landowners work out if they need to take action,� he said. “These deadlines will affect you if you have not yet applied for a planning consent (but are eligible to do so), or if you have an expired planning consent. “It will also affect you if you have a current planning consent, but have not yet obtained a building permit, an occupancy permit or a certificate of occupancy.� He said the deadlines mark an important step in the recovery process for Murrindindi. Another change that could affect residents is an update
of the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) which the State Government is undertaking in partnership with the CFA. Cr Bisset said those changes included bushfire hazard mapping in the Planning Scheme. He said a large number of properties in Murrindindi Shire would be affected by the changes to the BMO, as the shire was located in an extreme bushfire area. Landowners of properties affected by the changes will be notified directly by DEWLP (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning) and by Murrindindi Council. “I urge everyone to think now about reviewing and updating their bushfire survival plan, think about the preparations that need to be made to reduce risk to their home and property, and consider whether their home and contents insurance is adequate,� Cr Bisset added. Landowners can contact the council’s planning unit for more information on 5772 0317.
Snow warning for visitors. Sunday 27 August brought with it freezing temperatures that saw around 20cms of snow fall on Mount Donna Buang. As residents and tourists flocked to the snow, traffic on the mountain came to a standstill and hundreds of people soon found that they were ill prepared for the snowy deluge. Police are reminding those travelling to the snow to be properly prepared. “On the weekend we received a lot of snow and had major traffic issues with cars sliding off the road, and people leaving their cars abandoned as far as three kilometres down from 10-mile car park,� Leading Senior Constable Silvia Jarvie said. Traffic was reportedly banked up to the rainforest walk, with people leaving their cars on the road and choosing to walk up to the snowfields. “It’s a warning that when you visit be appropriately dressed, have chains and take more care and, of course, only park in designated parking areas,� she said.
Firewood collection. The spring 2017 firewood collection season opens across Victoria on Friday 1 September. DELWP is reminding people that it will now be legal to collect firewood on public land but that some areas may not open until later. “We want to remind people that it will once
again be legal to collect firewood in designated areas on public land from 1 September until 30 November,� Yarra District Manager Nigel Brennan said “Some designated firewood collection areas may not open at the beginning of the spring 2017 firewood season for various reasons, including supply or accessibility due to wet conditions.� This season Port Phillip Region will have 17 designated firewood collection areas across state forest in the Yarra District, including areas where firewood has been incidentally produced from other operations such as hazardous tree works or planned burning. DELWP and Parks Victoria staff will be patrolling parks, forests and reserves to ensure people are doing the right thing. “Firewood collection is only permitted on public land during designated times of the year and from designated firewood collection areas. “It is illegal to sell firewood collected on public land without an appropriate permit or licence or to take more than the allowed amount.� Laws state that people may only collect up to two cubic metres of firewood per person per day, and up to 16 cubic metres per household per year. Under the Forest Act 1958, people who collect firewood outside designated firewood collection areas or a firewood collection season or take more than the maximum allowable amounts can face fines of $634, or a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment, a fine of up to $7928 or both if the matter proceeds to court.

Pens turned to wood perfection By Kath Gannaway When Ross Ward and Bob Talbot step up to the lathe, it would be easy to think they’ve been reshaping bits of wood all their lives. In fact, it’s a skill both men have learned since joining the Yarra Glen Men’s Shed about three years ago. Each week they spend some of their time at the shed transforming blocks of wood into the centre-piece of what evolve, with some manufactured fittings either end, into beautifully crafted ballpoint pens. Currently there are two models, the slimline and the bullet pen. The process starts with sourcing the wood, For the most part, it’s wood with a previous life and in some cases an interesting story to tell. Ross pulls out a length of timber that is destined to give some lucky pen owners a connection to a world-famous Yarra Valley identity. “This piece is a jarrah floor board from Coombe Cottage,” he said. To think the great Nellie Melba may once have walked, perhaps even barefoot, on that very board ... that’s something to write home about. Among the box of rectan-
gular blocks of wood waiting for their chance to shine are pieces cut from bridge timber from the Yarra Glen railway line. There is redgum, blackwood and some blocks of rare Osage orange wood that was donated to the shed from a tree that had died. Each block is precisely drilled through to take the Parker pen insert, then shaped and finished on the lathe with a special fine-grit polish and a finishing oil that brings out the unique qualities, colour and markings of each piece of timber. Once the insert is in place, the timber is topped and bottomed finishing the process of producing a high-quality, functional and marketable pen. Ross and Bob have been putting in a bit of overtime ahead of Father’s Day and, of course, the bullet pen is popular with anyone with affiliations with, or an interest in, the military. The pens are available at Healesville RSL and direct from the men’s shed which is open from 9am to 4pm weekdays at 16 Anzac Avenue, Yarra Glen.

How do you envisage our future? There are many concerns escalating out of control and driving humans to accept a life of poverty, illness, social inequality, cultural misunderstanding, and other uncertainties about life in the future. These are matters we can all play a part in changing. We can fight poverty, work to eradicate disease, strive to broker peace in war-torn countries, invest in research for cures, provide care for our aged, ensure education facilities for our children and theirs in the future and above all - make life easier to live. Rotary is strongly committed to these concerns and does all it can to provide assistance in early education, broadening future visions and education for youth, assisting care of our aged, homeless and mistreated. We believe working now for our community needs will serve better than lamenting our losses in years to come . . . we believe in Service above Self 12362426-LN35-17

By Derek Schlennstedt Mount Evelyn Christian College was one of four schools that on 23 August were recognised for their ROAR project. The ROAR program was launched in 2012 by Yarra Ranges Council and focuses on equipping Year 10 students with a broad range of leadership capabilities. The awards night saw the launch of a short documentary produced by one of the groups, in collaboration with Headspace, which addressed mental health in young people. Through the program, young people are provided with opportunities to upskill, engage in personal development and connect with their communities, thus empowering them to become competent and active leaders.
“ROAR leadership is a Year 10 leadership capacity program which is about building community connection, event planning, personal leadership growth and public speaking,” Graeme Mawson, Coordinator of Youth Development at Yarra Ranges Council said. “It’s about empowering the young people to lead youth led initiatives in their local community.” Healesville and Lilydale High School were also among the schools involved including Yarra Hills College. All had different projects and Healesville High School engaged in an environmental project planting trees at Coronation Park. For its project, Mount Evelyn Christian College highlighted the cultural diversity and the experience of refugees
from Myanmar. This involved translating signs around the school into Hakachin - the native language of people from Myanmar. The awards night recognised students’ projects and Graeme said it was the first time that students were presented with a youth pass - a recognition tool for non-formal and informal learning in youth projects. “It was a celebration for families to see what projects their children had been involved in and it was also about recognising the projects that the students had been involved with,” Graeme said. Despite five successful years of Yarra Ranges Council delivering the ROAR program across nine local secondary schools, the program is set to come to an end at the end of the year.

Choice and dignity I was furious to read Elisa Roper’s sanctimonious plea against the long overdue and seemingly very well-thought out legislation that, if passed, will allow the terminally ill to ask for a dignified medically supervised death with a range of protections that will prevent family members or others from exploiting this legislative change. Being of an age considered to be well into the ‘death zone’, I think I have the authority to express my own opinion on this legislation. This opinion has also been mediated by 20 Christmas Day visits to a Catholic hospice as a musician member of the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade’s Christmas Club entertainment troupe. The horror of those visits - the sights, the sounds, the smells, the expressions of sadness, fear and despair - stays with and me chills me on every recollection.
I also witnessed the bungled suicide of an immediate family member who came out of a coma three days later, only to eventually die a hideously undignified death in a nursing home. All that person wanted out of life was to be done with their unbearable suffering in their own way and at their chosen time, but they lacked the mental and medical competence to do so properly. Supporters of euthanasia, like myself, demand the right to a dignified ending in situations in which we, ourselves, deem that there is nothing to be gained by battling on with suffering and disability, when there is no hope of recovery and the possibility of eventually losing the ability to have any say in the matter. I am equally disgusted with the Libs for playing political games with the forthcoming vote on the euthanasia legislation by pledging a huge sum of money they don’t possess for palliative care. The issue is about choice, dignity and actual alleviation of suffering for those who will be en-
titled by law to exit with grace. Bring it on, please! John Whiteoak, Healesville.
She was our champion The tragic death of Fiona Richardson has robbed Australian women and children of a formidable, effective and much-loved advocate. EDVOS, the Eastern Domestic Violence Service, pays tribute to Fiona who died this week after a battle with cancer. Fiona was a champion for women and children. As the nation’s first Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, she helped deliver programs and resources that have brought stability and safety to thousands of vulnerable families. We took enormous encouragement from her personal support as we planned the EDVOS HaiR program, partnering with hairdressers to deliver family violence prevention and educa-
Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 28 August, 1937 In Case You Didn’t Know Messrs. A. G. Kay (Healesville) and E. [indecipherable] (Marysville) were among the speakers in a deputation from the Tourist House Association which waited on the Minister for Transport on Monday when assertions were made that the Victorian Government Tourist Bureau was hidden away from the public while competitive offices and those of shipping companies invited people to travel almost anywhere but in Victoria. The Minister was asked to have the bureau removed to Collins St. where it could meet opposition shoulder to shoulder and increase the popularity of travel in this State. The Government has stated the Minister realised that Victoria is a scenic resort without rival and is promoting the slogan, ‘See Victoria First’.
Right On Cue In the snooker semi-final this week Lilydale registered a comfortable win over Healesville, aggregating 428 points over Healesville 241. Lilydale will meet Warburton in the final. Holy Anniversary The 53rd anniversary of St John’s Church of England, Healesville will be celebrated by a tea followed by musical items on August 30th, at St John’s Hall. Yarra Valley Guardian Mail 31 August, 1995 Community Consultation Meetings Council has planned eight community consultation meetings for the year to June 1996. The Shire Chairman said, “Everyone in the Shire is welcome to attend any meeting, there is no structured agenda.”
tion.When we discussed the potential of this program going national, Fiona was pragmatic and supportive knowing the ideas she’d endorsed, resourced and encouraged would help families across the country. Fiona’s personal support had a big impact on me and our team. She was intelligent, compassionate and innovative. It is a shock to all of us and we are so incredibly saddened by her passing. We offer our sympathy and thoughts to her husband Stephen and their children and to her friends and colleagues. Fiona’s legacy is vast. She helped bring about a sea change in the way we deal with family violence and how we offer support to families to put them onto a better path for the future. Her very positive influence will continue to be felt in Victoria. Jenny Jackson, Executive Director, Eastern Family Violence Service.

Alison and Brenton trekked across East Timor to help raise funds for rheumatic heart Picture: Damo Liddy disease. 171623 12359410-KC31-17
East Timor Trek for heart target By Derek Schlennstedt A Healesville paramedic and her partner have walked coastto-coast across East Timor to raise awareness and funds for heart disease. Paramedic Alison Bowen and Brenton Jukes, a patient transport officer with Wilson Medic One, did the trek in August as members of a team made up of doctors and medics from around Australia. They raised more than $3000 toward the trek’s goal of $20,000 which will allow
the charity East Timor Hearts Fund to provide a young patient with life-saving heart surgery in Australia A skilled mountaineer and long-distance walker, Alison described this expedition as one of the toughest she had faced, walking for 10 hours a day with full packs in conditions that ranged from freezing on Mt Ramelau to hot and humid in the lowlands. “Australia is blessed with a first-class health care system but things are very different for our neighbours in Timor-Leste,
with children and young people suffering and dying prematurely from preventable and treatable conditions, such as rheumatic heart disease,” Alison said. “As a paramedic, it was quite confronting to see first-hand some of the significant health and social challenges facing TimorLeste, but I’m so glad to have had the opportunity, in a small way, to be part of the solution.” The trek raised nearly $17,000 of its $20,000 target. To donate to Alison and Brenton go to easttimorheartsfund. org.au and follow the links.

Stage full of horrors a thrill By Kath Gannaway Feeding plants on the traditional blood and bone takes on a whole new meaning with Healesville High School’s 2017 production of the sci-fi horror musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors’. The season opened at the school’s Ion Whykes Auditorium on Thursday night (24 August). The storyline of a plant that develops and thrives on a diet of human blood (with the odd bit of offal and bone thrown in), and pumped up with a 1960s pop/rock score, choreography and costume, delivered a high-energy musical with moments of endearing pathos, some great one-liners, loads of student talent and lots of fun. Several plot twists add anticipation to the horror and humour. Director Trent Morison said the 2017 production had come together after months of hard work by the cast and crew. “You never fail to blow me away with your passion for the theatre,” he said in a pre-show message to the cast and crew. “This passion directly

Cool but cruel, Jackson Marcon as evil dentist Orin Schrivello - swooning Nikita Aldridge as Ronnette and Madison McVay as Crystal. 172182 Mr Morison said she had been an integral part of the school’s productions over the years and an inspiration and mentor for students. Little Shop of Horrors is great family, feel-good entertainment and tickets are still available for the evening shows tonight (Friday) and Saturday, and the Sunday matinee. Book online up until 4pm each day for the Friday and Saturday shows, and up until 1pm on the Sunday. Tickets will be available at the door if not sold out. For information phone 5962 4088.
translates to the hard work and professionalism you have demonstrated over the past six months to produce what truly is an exceptional show,” he said. “Continue to create wonderful memories on or behind the stage, continue to dedicate yourselves to your passions and dreams and most importantly, continue to shine like the stars you are.” Members of the audience joined the cast and crew at the end of the show to perform a tribute song in memory of former teacher, Sue Contarino (Miss Tanner) who died earlier this year from ovarian cancer.

Taking frozen experiences to the chilling edge Inspired by travels to Antarctica and Iceland, artist Amanda Page’s exhibition Metamorphosis captures the immense power of an energy force capable of building enormous ice masses and glaciers over expanses of time. Metamorphosis is showing at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum until Sunday 17 September. With a focus on ice movement, tectonic plate shifts and glacial melt, Amanda explores the ephemeral processes that occur within nature through drawing, print making, photography and sculpture. Revealing and recording the natural processes of freezing and melting substances and the movement of materials between solid to liquid forms informs the works.
Amanda Page explores states of change through material transformations in Metamorphosis.

“I reference the sublime and the immense power of natural energy forces that create enormous ice masses and glaciers over expanses of time,” Amanda said of the process. “I’m influenced by the Land Art movement of the 1960s where artists present their relationship with the natural world by rearranging it, like Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty on the bank of a salt lake in Utah, and Chris Drury who used stenographs to record winds in Antarctica and correlate them to a human heart beat, and Cameron Robbins whose uses instruments to produce drawings of natural forces.” Yarra Ranges Regional Museum is at 33 Castella Street, Lilydale. It is open every day from 10am to 4pm.

The Memo, Healesville
“Ice is a transient and perishable material that references impermanence and instability,” Amanda said. Using ice as a metaphor for change, the works capture the transformational and durational qualities of ice as it changes state, reforming, disappearing over expanses of time to eventually become formless. Her works capture sea ice movement, tectonic plate shift, glaciers forming and glacial melt. A snowflake represents a melting iceberg, a frozen moment in time. A drop of water represents the whole ocean. One equals the sum of many parts. Fractal. Tessellated. Each snowflake is different from the next, but no two snowflakes are alike as their journey through time has been different.
Wind River is a harrowing thriller about grief and human savagery. When a young woman is found raped and murdered in the woods of the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, rookie FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) enlists the help of local tracker Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) to find the culprit. Directed by Taylor Sheridan, the writer of Hell or High Water and Sicario, Wind River maintains Sheridan’s
remarkable standard of taut, efficient storytelling and unrelentingly grim tone. The characters are complex and intriguing, and the performances are universally excellent. Olsen balances a plucky resolve with her character’s inexperience, and Renner conveys a sombre dignity as a compassionate loner with a sad past. The cinematography is starkly beautiful and the film’s style is reminiscent of a modern Western. Wind River is also a refreshingly simple murder mystery. The plot has a tense,
steady progression of clues and grave set-backs leading up to the explosive reveal. Through both quiet, poignant moments and bursts of extreme violence, the film unflinchingly confronts the snowy desolation of its setting, still-raw race relations in America and the horrific cruelty human beings are capable of. The only significant problem in Wind River is some distractingly shaky camerawork. Wind River is a devastatingly bleak watch, but a riveting and superbly-made film nevertheless. - Seth Hynes

Woori Yallock takes honours By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Division 1 Seniors Football Round 18 Woori Yallock 12.11(83) d Emerald 8.11(59) Woori Yallock is minor premiers after a solid performance over Emerald, which can now hang up their boots for 2017. Woori Yallock were accurate in front of goal in the first quarter, booting five straight. But Emerald should have been well in front after kicking 4.4. Woori Yallock kicked another 2.4 to 1.5 in the second term to increase their lead to only seven points at halftime. Woori Yallock had more of the ball in the third quarter but could not convert when needed and their lead was a handy 11 points at three-quarter time, but it was by no means a winning lead. They kicked away in the last with 4.3 to 2.2 and will have a rest next week. Woori Yallock Best: B. Arnold, J. Matthews, M. Lowe, J. Adams, R. Allen, S. Kennedy. Emerald Best: C. Thomsen, P. White, S. Anthony, D. Karacsonyi, L. Sheppard, M. Stephens. Warburton-Millgrove 16.16(112) d Gembrook-Cockatoo 11.7(73) Warburton and Gembrook’s seasons are over but their last game for the year was one for Warburton to celebrate. The Burras got out to an early lead, kicking 4.6 to 1.2 in the first term. They blitzed in front of goals in the second quarter with eight goals to two and went into the main break with a 55-point lead. They kicked another 2.5 to 2.2 in the third term as Gembrook held them well. Gembrook took control in the last kicking 5.2 to 1.1 but it was all too late come the final siren. Warburton-Millgrove Best: T. McKail, J. Lee, M. Robinson, L. Barnard, L. James. Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: R. Causer, L. Henzen, P. Gramc, D. Scott, B. Jones, S. Ponter. Monbulk 16.8(104) d Mount Evelyn 15.13(103) Monbulk have earned bragging rights over Mount Evelyn finishing in sixth spot after a one-point win over seventh-placed Mount Evelyn. Mount Evelyn got the early lead with a big seven goals to five first quarter. Monbulk fought back in the second term kicking four goals to two and the lead was only six points at the main break. Monbulk got their skates on in the third quarter and kicked 3.3 to only two behinds and the lead was Monbulk’s at three-quarter time by 13 points. Mount Evelyn rallied in the last with 6.2 to 4.2 but it was Monbulk that saluted the judge at the final siren. Monbulk Goals: M. Langworthy 3, N. Sargent 3, S. McBride 2, A. Banks 2, S. Williams 2, H. Emmett 1, P. Barge 1, J. Rak 1, J. Schille 1. Best: J. Major, A. Banks, A. Smith, C. Sharpe, S. Williams, L. HancockWolfe. Mount Evelyn Best: J. Barden, J. Beamish, M. Condello, D.

scoring first quarter. Upwey-Tecoma kicked 5.3 to 4.9 in the second term and took the lead by eight points at the main break. They booted another 5.4 to 3.3 in the third quarter and their lead was blown out to 21 points and Healesville were going to struggle to claw the lead back if they did not straighten up in front of goal. Healesville peppered the goals in the last with 3.8 to 3.4 and in total had 36 scoring shots to 33 but inaccuracy has cost them top spot and they will now face Olinda Ferny Creek next week. Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Hackett, D. Devers, H. Stanley, B. Duncan, L. Burke, S. Mitchell. Healesville Best: A. Davies, T. Costigan, M. Jeffery, L. Daly, N. Mende, A. Fraraccio.

Olinda held them to 2.2 in the second term while they kicked 6.1 and the game had swung around into Olinda’s favour by 17 points at half-time. The third quarter was a tight affair but Olinda were wasteful in front of goal kicking 1.8 to four behinds and Wandin were still in touch with a deficit of 27 points at

Division 2 Seniors Qualifying Final Yarra Glen 12.17(89) d Seville 5.13(43) Yarra Glen led from the outset in conditions that had all the four seasons. They got out to an early 22-point quarter time lead and never really looked like they were in trouble. They held Seville to only two behinds in the second quarter and kicked 2.3 to increase their lead to 35 points at half-time. Seville came out with more run in the third term but were inaccurate in front of goal, kicking 3.7 to 3.2; and inaccurate footy is bad footy. Yarra Glen had a touch of the yips in the last quarter, kicking 3.6 to 1.2 and the margin could have been a lot more. Yarra Glen will go on to play Belgrave in the second Semi-Final next week while Seville and Powelltown will battle it out for their last chance this season. Yarra Glen Best: J. Marks, B. Binion, C. Tait, B. Muurling, R. Gurney, B. Ashton. Seville Best: J. Nolan, M. Cecere, J. Neal, B. Penwill, K. Mullett, P. Bailey. Elimination Final Powelltown 6.16(52) d Alexandra 6.4(40) Powelltown has had a come from behind win to knock Alexandra out of the finals race and will take on Seville in the first semi-final next week. Alexandra got the early break in the first term, kicking 2.2 to 1.2. Powelltown held Alexandra goalless in the second quarter and kicked 1.5 to take the lead by three points at half-time. Alexandra kicked one goal in the third term but Powelltown were spraying the goals kicking 1.7 and had left the door open for Alexandra going into the last. Both sides booted three goals each in the last and the final margin was only 12 points at the final siren in Powelltown’s favour. Powelltown Best: J. Rohan, T. Hallmark, M. Lord, G. Newing, R. McCrimmon, D. Rees. Alexandra Best: D. Rouget, B. Cooper, S. Woollard, R. Norris, B. Norris, S. Hill.

Kevin Conway scores WARBURTON GOLF WEDNESDAY Stableford: With the weather improving and the course drying out, scores are consistently higher than a few weeks ago. A score of 38 points won the day for Kevin Conway, and Craig Brown scored 37 to land the runner-up prize. There were numerous scores of 36 and 35, meaning the ball count went no lower than 35. Alan Johnston snared the NTP (3rd) and Neil Leckerby, with a great tee shot, on the 15th. No-one could get on the challenging 17th for two, meaning an NTP went begging there. SATURDAY Canadian Foursomes: This is a paired event that relies on both players ‘playing their part’ in posting a good score. The best pair on this occasion were Hatty Senior and Junior Cross. They came in with a Nett 68.3. They just pipped the runner-up team of Ian Garside and Trevor Porter, with 68.5. Balls went down to Nett 72. The day’s NTPs were won by Steuart Hawke (3rd), Tony Bickley (5th), Alan Johnston (9th), PK (12th) and to Hatty Senior (15th).

Minister for Tourism and Major Events, John Eren announced that the famous Targa Florio would come to Healesville and Warburton for the very first time in its long history.
Spills, thrills through hills By Derek Schlennstedt
tralian Tribute race will see over 200 historical race cars including Ferraris unfold over four days, with two main races being run on the same route with the same rules and trials. One of those sections will include Healesville in it, and the classic vehicles will, on their fourth day, do a round trip from Healesville along the Reefton Spur and to Warburton before heading to Kinglake and then back towards Melbourne. The Targa Florio Australian Tribute classic car regularity race is open to cars from 1906 to 1976 that will compete at an average speed of max 50 km/h. Historically and before Formula 1 racing, the Targa Florio was the most difficult and challenging race for cars across the globe, attracting the interna-
tional racing car drivers and car manufacturers, such as Alfa Romeo, (FIAT) Abarth, Ferrari, Bugatti, Lancia, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. Today, the Targa Florio is not just the world’s most ancient road race that attracts an international following, but a tribute to classic cars and beautiful scenery for people to adore - this year from a Victorian stage. The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) CEO Eugene Arocca said the event would further boost Victoria’s status as a major supporter of the very best events in world motor sport. “As the national sporting body for four-wheeled motor sport, we are extremely proud to be associated with such an iconic, international motor sport event, and congratulate the event
organisers, Visit Victoria and the Victorian Government for hosting the Targa Florio on some of our most famous roads,” Mr Arocca said. “We can’t wait for this to get underway at the end of this year, and are looking forward to seeing yet another amazing motorsport event being held in Australia, on top of other memorable events such as Victoria’s own Formula One Australian Grand Prix and the Australian round of the World Rally Championship,” Mr Arocca added. To pay homage to the event’s heritage and format, the Australian Tribute will receive a “Made in Italy” theme, including culture and lifestyle intertwined with innovation, highlights and experiences that showcase Australia, and, of course, Victoria.

For the first time in its 101-year existence, the most historic and prestigious road race, the Targa Florio, will take place outside of Sicily and across Victoria, and will include in its route Healesville, Warburton and Marysville. Driving from San Remo, the vehicles are expected to arrive in Healesville on 2 December, and then will depart Healesville on 3 December, bound for Melbourne. On 11 August, at The Surf Coast Hotel in Torquay, Minister for Tourism and Major Events John Eren, in conjunction with Major Partner Visit Victoria, made the announcement and confirmed that Victoria had officially and exclusively secured a deal to the event’s hosting rights.
Mr Eren acknowledged the event as a significant opportunity to showcase Victoria and increase its position on the global classic and luxury car circuit. “The Targa Florio is a symbol for the passion of cars, luxury and adventure - and we’re delighted that the organisers have chosen Victoria to stage the first-ever race outside of Italy,” Mr Eren said. “These classic cars will travel to some of our most breathtaking destinations, breathing more life into regional communities across Victoria.” “Our love of sport and fast cars, coupled with our beautiful scenery and large Italian community, makes us the perfect host for such an occasion.” In the same manner as the famous Sicilian event, the Targa Florio Aus-
