Can we fit in? By Derek Schlennstedt A big issue facing CFA brigades in rural areas is property access. Some gates are too small for tankers to fit through, and a truck must be able to turn around once in. At three metres wide, seven metres long and another three metres in height, it is clear to see why a fire truck is considered a heavy vehicle and why it requires 30 metres of space to turn around. That space to turn is paramount in an emergency, and if they can’t turn around they won’t be coming down your driveway. CFA captain at Montrose Rob Waters said that fire trucks would enter a property for a number of reasons including bushfire response. “On rural properties, depending on the locality of the house, we may enter the property ... it also depends on the fire and where it is,” Rob said. “The key point is that overheard branches need to be cleared and to make sure that if we have access we have enough to do so.”

At three metres wide, three metres high and seven metres long, can a fire truck enter your property? “If we’re going to enter a property, that’s one thing we always think about, we need to have an escape route ... we’ll also determine how we are going to exit if things do go pear shaped.” For house fires and even bushfires, Rob reiterated the importance of property owners keeping their house numbers clearly visible.

“Make sure your house number is visible, that’s very important,” he said. “Have your house clearly numbered on the side of street, time is crucial in some instances whether you’re going there for a house fire or bushfire of some sort, and it could take minutes to work out where you are, if we can’t see the house number.”

13 - 20 October 2017 They can save you Wildfire Safety Bunkers Pty Ltd is committed to supplying and installing superior quality, fully engineered, government accredited, purpose-built bushfire bunkers. Wildfire bunkers are rated to the highest current Australian Standard (BAL-FZ), Bushfire Attack Level - Flame Zone. Each year in Australia, the weather seems to become more unpredictable, with higher than average winds and extreme temperatures. Forecasts from the Climate Institute of Australia and the CSIRO predict that Australia will experience an increasing occurrence of wildfire events that threaten life and property. The fire season will start earlier and last longer and will be more intense throughout the season’s length. Residents who live in isolated areas of surrounding bushland are at high risk during the bushfire season and may wish to consider the installation of a bushfire shelter. When situations change and the time to execute your evacuation plan has been cut short, a wildfire safety bunker could be a resident’s last option. Anthony Tratt, owner and

A safety bunker could be a resident’s last option. 146331 managing director of Wildfire Safety Bunkers, said it could be a smart option. “We have been in the bushfire shelter business for many years now and our products have been welcomed by residents Australia wide,” he said. “I believe the reasons our units have become so popular is that they have been extensively tested and accredited by

the government, they can be installed in a short amount of time, they can be landscaped into existing garden beds and embankments, and they are at an affordable price point.” Wildfire has installed units in most areas where the ‘Mail’ newspapers are delivered.

Right fire hose counts Fire Hose Warehouse is based in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, but they deliver anywhere. It’s time to put together the elements required to defend your property from the summer heat or even a bushfire. You may not be able to rely on mains pressure water during a fire, so alternative water supply is crucial. Fire Hose Warehouse doesn’t sell pumps, but make sure yours is a quality Australian made one that won’t let you down. To choose a hose kit,

step out the distances required for the suction line as well as the delivery lines. Remember to look carefully at the fire nozzles. At the end of the day, these determine how much water is used, not the pump. Fire Hose Warehouse has the widest range of firefighting hose and hose kits. For something different, check out the ‘Scotty Water Wall’ on You Tube. Visit www.firehosewarehouse.com.au or call 9770 8886.

Just some of the selection in store.

Pet safety plan By Derek Schlennstedt When preparing your bushfire survival plan, you also need to plan and prepare for the safety of your pets. Although people may be able to get in the car and leave, often larger animals such as horses have to be left behind. How can owners ensure the survival of their big pets? Whether your horses are located at home or on an agistment property, you must plan and prepare for their safety. The CFA suggests that owners move their horses to a safer location before Severe, Extreme or Code Red fire danger days and remove all gear, including rugs. On Severe, Extreme or Code Red days, it is better to move your horses to a designated safer paddock or area. This could mean a large eaten out paddock or a series of smaller eaten out paddocks with the internal gates left open, as horses are more likely to escape the fire if they have room to move. A large sand manege can also provide protection, provided there are no buildings or vegetation close-by that could catch fire. A horse’s natural instinct is to run from danger including bushfire and they will quickly move to burnt ground to survive so it is important you do not lock your horses in a small area or stable. Finally, permanently identify your horses by microchipping or branding them. If your horse is difficult to catch, consider leaving a leather halter on with identification tags. Finally, CFA urges horse owners and livestock owners to register their property with a Property Identification Code (PIC) through the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR).

FIRE ACTION 13 - 20 October 2017 WEEK Putting out the fire Keep garden fire-wise Aiming to install high-performance sprinkler systems economically, expeditiously and with minimum disruption to the client, Blaze Control are Australian suppliers of fixed bushfire sprinkler systems and mobile bushfire sprinkler systems. As company owner Bill Hayes explained, the team at Blaze Control has spent countless hours developing comprehensive sprinkler systems to protect buildings of all styles, methods of construction and size. As trained firefighters, Blaze Control applies their training to continually improve on their products and can help advise their customers on property protection. “South Eastern Australia is recognised as having one of the highest bushfire risks anywhere in the world,” Bill said. “The periodic fires that devastate areas of the state and result in costly property damage and at times loss of life provided the impetus leading to the formation of Blaze Control. “The result of the combined efforts of a master plumber and a production engineer, both CFA firefighters, was to provide the best possible protection for the home owner from the rav-

The team at Blaze Control has spent countless hours developing comprehensive sprinkler systems to protect buildings of all styles, methods of construction and size. ages of bushfires.” Blaze Control adheres to all standards of plumbing, pumping, fire protection and engineering, and use durable materials along with resources from various authorities and companies involved in bushfire research. “We design and install the most comprehensive bushfire sprinkler system available anywhere,” Bill said.

“We also ensure our systems are as affordable as possible and we’re continuously developing, improving and upgrading our installation methods, equipment, product range and customer liaison with the aim to remain market leaders.” Blaze Control is located at 10 Gardiner Street in Lilydale.

Fire. The word resonates with residents throughout the Yarra Ranges and can bring back memories of Black Saturday and Ash Wednesday. Each year as summer approaches, residents in fireprone areas have to clean their gardens and remove plants to reduce the risk of fire. But, just because you may live in a fire risk location, does not mean you have to sacrifice a bright and welcoming garden. The Ash Wednesday Bushfire Education Centre (AWBEC) in Cockatoo has constructed an interactive fire-wise garden to prove not all fire-wise plants are dull and colourless. “No plant is fireproof, and all will burn but some are more resistant to heat,” Graham Simpson, chairperson at AWBEC, said. The new fire-wise garden is designed to help educate the community on how to implement a fire-wise garden and reduce loads. With pebbles offering much more resistance than flammable mulch and various small but bright plants, the fire-wise garden offers a perfect example of how to beautify and reduce fire risk around your property.

A new garden at AWBEC in Cockatoo shows Dandenong Ranges residents that fire-wise gardens can be colourful and inviting, and still reduce fire risk. “It’s to pick plants that don’t readily ignite - what this firewise garden does is that it has signs with a QR code, which will take you to the CFA website which can tell you if your plants at home have a low or moderate fire risk,” he said. “These plants are all designed so they don’t touch each other, so the fire can’t jump to the next one.” All the plants at the AWBEC fall into the low to moderate fire

risk range and many are native indigenous plants, which are perfect for attracting wildlife and birdlife to your backyard. Some of the plants include winter delight grevilleas, birthday candle banksias, bright and colourful lily pillies, and succulent red kangaroo paw. Graham said it was not difficult to create a firewise garden and that anyone could do it with plants readily available and reasonably priced.

Stop bushfire in its tracks!

Brigade scouting for volunteers By Bonny Burrows Upper Ferntree Gully Fire Brigade is seeking some fresh blood to join its “family”. The volunteer brigade nested at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges has a coverage area that is one of the most diverse in the state. “We’ve got two totally different areas to manage,” Captain Peter Smith said. “There’s Lysterfield with threestorey multi-million dollar houses and then there’s Upper Gully - there’s not much development here,” he said. With the National Park, which attracts 60,000 to 70,000 people a month, and one of the busiest maternity hospitals around - The Angliss - on its doorstep, the brigade is kept busy all year round. Its team of 36 firefighters and five non-operational members are swept off their feet, responding to an average of 150 call outs a year. These jobs not only comprise residential and bushfires but car crashes, flood control, and assistance to other emergency services. “We’ve all locals, so we’ve know the area inside and out. Our knowledge is used a lot (by others),” Mr Smith said. Being volunteers, UFTG CFA

Upper Ferntree Gully First Lieutenant Darren Johnson practises drills with daughter and rookie firefighter Amber Johnson. Picture: DARYN REDMAN members juggle their firefighter commitments with work and family. As a result, the brigade wants local residents with daytime availability to join its ranks. Mr Smith said this would appeal to

mums and dads with school-aged children or any part time, casual workers over the age of 16. “We have the most shortfall during the day as our members leave the area for work. So that 9am to 3 or 4pm timeslot is our hardest to fill,” he said.

“So anyone available during the day would be fantastic.” For those interested, there is no cost. All gear is provided and volunteers are put through a four to six month

training course prior to their first turnout. For those who join, Mr Smith said they could expect to join “a very friendly, inclusive brigade”. “Everyone knows each other, we all become an extensive of one another’s families,” he said. He said CFA was a great opportunity to learn new skills, develop confidence and give back to the community. While people may be nervous putting their hand up for the job, the proud captain said he was never one to pass judgement on someone walking through the doors for the first time. “I’ve seen my people grow from shy kids to confident men and women. The opportunities you have, you wouldn’t get in other organisations and groups, and it makes you a better person for it,” Mr Smith said. “I sit back smile, and think ‘geez, we’ve got some great people coming through’.” Upper Ferntree Gully Fire Brigade volunteers will be required to undergo a health check, and after the initial training, commit to a minimum of six hours a week of regular training, on Tuesdays and Sundays, along with turnouts. If you are interested in finding out more, phone Peter Smith on 0438 330 361.

Other issues, he said, were the impact on water security that the houses were out of character with rural development, the loss of a rural view from the restaurant and that dwellings were not visually compatible with a rural area. He told the council Amendment C148 should not be considered and urged them to rely on the previous VCAT decision. Mary-Anne Lowe who runs Restaurant Vines Helens Hill told the Mail she was disappointed with the result

and surprised in view of the Green Wedge zoning. “There has been no change to the planning scheme that I am aware of since it went to VCAT last time, so why had the council done a back-flip. “They have not even required an agricultural use on the property and it is really disappointing that the agriculture focus (of the Green Wedge) is just swept aside,” she said. She said in operating the restaurant there was live music and lights. Continued on Page 3

The right to farm vs the right to build were key elements in a debate which resulted in approval to build on three blocks of land adjoining Helen’s Hill Winery in Coldstream. The council, by a vote of five to two, approved three applications allowing the landowner, J. Frazer, to build houses on three separate lots at 10-12 Ingram Road. The blocks, which are in a Green Wedge Zone (Schedule 2) adjoin Helen’s Hill Winery to the south, prompt-

ing objections from winery owners Andrew and Robyn McIntosh and operator of Vines Restaurant at Helen’s Hill. Les Wilmott, speaking on behalf of the objectors referred the councillors to a previous VCAT decision in 2015 which rejected a similar application on the grounds that it would adversely affect their right to farm. He said farming practices required that machines operated for many months of the year at times, over a 24-hour period with lights, noise and

Funky factor y-themed art Visitors to Healesville High School’s art show later this month will be greeted with a funky, colourful mural providing a hint of what awaits. The old ‘core building’ has been rebranded as the ‘Art Factory’, and when students met with Healesville artist Paul Sonsie to come up with a design for a large-scale mural, it was the industrial, factory theme that inspired them. The school obtained funding from Healesville Bendigo Community Bank and Yarra Ranges Council for the project. Media teacher and project co-ordinator Stephanie Opasinis said they were thrilled with not only the result, but the process as well. “We put a call out to all the students, and it was a chance for kids who may not be into classroom art to get involved,” she said. Fifteen students worked with Paul, a former Healesville High School student who works in visual art, graphic design and urban murals. “For me, it’s about coming back to my old school and helping change the culture of it,” Paul said. “This is a bit of a dead zone in the school, so it is about activating this area ... adding some colour on walls that have not changed in 20 years.” “Everyone loves colour; it inspires the kids,

but it inspires everyone from the cleaners and office people to the teachers and visitors.” He praised the students who worked on the mural, saying they were committed to making a change in their school. “When you do a big project like this, it attracts people who are doing it because they want to, and they stay right to the end,” he said. The exhibition include all the visual arts such as painting, photography, film, media, textiles and clay, but it is also an interactive experience. “We have all this space, so we have put an emphasis on having interactive spaces,” Stephanie explained. “It’s about immersion in these different spaces where you have sound, lighting, you can put yourself in the picture. “More interaction means it’s not just a show for our students and their families, but that it opens it up to the wider community, kids, families ... everyone.” Paul and Stephanie expressed their appreciation for the support they have received for the mural project and art show. “You need organisations like the Bendigo Community Bank and the council to make these types of things happen,” Paul said. Stephanie said having Paul, as a former stu-

dent, made the connection particularly rewarding. “It’s good to have the support of these organisations in the community to enable us to link with the wider community, and to enable us to have people like Paul working and investing with these kids,” she said.

Healing Mass for abuse victims By Kath Gannaway A bronze plaque will be a permanent acknowledgement of the suffering of victims of sexual abuse in the Healesville parish. The ceremony of dedication will take place at the end of a Mass of Healing and Hope to be held by the parish community on Wednesday, 25 October, at St Brigid’s Catholic Church at 7pm. The plaque will replace ribbons that were placed in the church grounds as a statement of support for victims, after the manner of the Loud Fence movement that began in Ballarat a few years ago in response to abuse by Catholic priests in that region. Wording on the plaque will read: “In recognition of those who have suffered through betrayal of trust...”. Two Healesville priests have been convicted on child sexual abuse charges, David Daniel in 2000 and Paul Pavlou in 2009. The parish is inviting those who have been sexually abused by any priests in the parish, and others affected - families of victims, teachers and parish staff who tried to warn of the danger, and the people who support victims, to join the parish community in working to heal the hurt.

"We have been wanting to do this for a long time," parish pastoral associate Debbie Edwards said. “At last, we have the opportunity to make it happen.” The opportunity arose out of an initiative of the Lookout4Children group whose purpose is to support victims and promote an awareness of the issue in Healesville. “The group approached the parish with a proposal to hold an information forum, and a Mass of Healing was deemed to be more appropriate at this time,” a spokesperson for ‘Lookout’ explained. He said members worked with parish staff in a two-hour session planning the event. “The meeting recognised that people may not be able to come at short notice, but it is hoped there will be other similar events in the future with an accent on healing the hurt in the parish and in the whole town,” he said. The widespread scourge of child abuse has been revealed by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The final report of the commission will be released in December, and the ramifications are likely to be a topic of interest for many institutions in Healesville.

In brief Motorbikes to the forefront

Ribbons will be replaced by a plaque recognising those who have suffered through betrayal of trust. 173958 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY “The safety of children will only be secured through adequate protocols and constant vigilance,” Lookout4Children spokesperson said. Parish secretary, Paula Pearce, spoke at the planning meeting of current practices and protocols that go to developing a culture of alertness, and people attending the Mass will hear of changes in the culture of parish and school. Another speaker will outline the concerns of the Lookout group, especially the on-going needs of victims whose lives have been damaged or ruined by abuse.

Tick for housing as council agrees From front page “Does anyone think we’re not going to get noise complaints,” she proposed. Moving individual motions for each of the three lots, Cr Tim Heenan said he had given the matter a lot of thought, particularly in regard to the possible impact on amenity and cited historic instances of conflict between farming and residential interests in Coldstream. “I see no reason for this not to go ahead,” he said.

“I don’t believe in this case we are going to have the concerns that have been put forward as objections. “I understand what those are, we have dealt with so many aspects of this in many different ways and while I have always been sensitive in dealing with the right to farm we need to take so many more things into consideration here,” he said. “This proposal is considered to be consistent with the planning policies and as such approval is recommended,” he said.

He was supported by councillors Higgins, McAllister, Child and Avery, with Crs Cox and Cliff voting against the motions. Cr Cox argued that VCAT had made a decision on the same three blocks and that there was very little change in the current application. “There is a difference of about 20 metres further from the winery and that doesn’t seem to me to be a lot. “I have a problem with mixing urban residential and farming as you have conflicts,” he said.

Police in the Yarra Valley are putting motorcycle safety at the forefront of their minds for spring, which is traditionally when fair weather riders return after an extended break over winter. Operation Motosafe focuses on reducing injuries and fatal collisions and pays particular attention to the increased number of motorcycle riders during the spring months. In an effort to reduce unsafe driving practices by all motorists, the operation will also see an increased police presence throughout October and during the motorcycle Grand Prix on Sunday 22 October. Over the past five years during the month of October, the eastern region of Victoria has sadly seen 47 people killed on their roads. Of these 47 lives, 21 per cent were riders. Eastern Region Road Policing Inspector Stewart Westfield said even though motorcyclists were vulnerable road users, it was up to everyone on the roads to take care. “There’s no doubt that with the warmer weather upon us and with the Grand Prix coming up, we do see an increase in the number of riders coming through our area,” Insp Westfield said. “We all need to look after each other, no matter what mode of transport you’re in, stay within the speed limit and take regular breaks on long journeys.” Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol, Acting Sergeant David McIlfatrick shared Insp Westfield's views and urged riders to take care if they have taken a break from riding over winter, as their skills might have diminished in that time. “Now that the weather is getting better, more riders are getting to the hills ... some haven’t ridden for a while and it does take some time getting used to the bike again,” Sgt McIlfatrick said. “Motorbike collisions are down on the past few years, so we like to keep it that way.”

Putting puss on the record We’re concerned. Too many cats come through our shelter that have been well cared for, they have clearly been loved, but they have zero identification. We want everyone to recognise the importance of microchipping and registering their cats. In the outer eastern suburbs there is a staggering difference between the percentage of dogs that are microchipped and registered (90 per cent) and the percentage of cats (40 per cent). But it’s hard to be sure exactly why this is the case. Cats are independent creatures. This tendency helps cement the belief that our feline companions are able to fend for themselves. We don’t fret if they are out and about or don’t come home for a couple of days; yet we lose our minds if our dog

goes missing. Perhaps it’s this perceived independence of cats that accounts for our community’s reluctance to properly identify their feline friend. When your

pet is happily at home, it may not feel like a priority, but we assure you, when your cat has ventured away, you will be relieved that they were able to be identified and that you could be quickly contacted. When your animal is registered and microchipped and the details are up to date, the process of getting it back to your family is simple. We will call you and post you a letter in the mail to alert you that your furry family member is in our care. In some cases, when your pet is collected outside of your property the council rangers will bring them back to your home immediately. If your pet is properly identified you will not have to suffer the distress and heartache that comes with the knowledge that your cat is missing.

A lack of knowledge regarding the microchipping and registration process may also contribute to the problem. The data associated with your pet’s microchip, and registration is managed completely separately. This means when you change your phone number, move house or change animal ownership you will need to adjust both with the local council and the microchipping organisation. Adjusting your details on only their registration, or microchip is not adequate - one database does not impact the other. You may have an indoor cat or you may have a cat that doesn’t usually roam - but we implore you, please, take responsibility for your cats, register them, microchip them. You, your cat and our caring shelter staff will be happier for it.

Amazing work of vet nurses In any one day, patients on the ‘sick list’ at Healesville Sanctuary’s Australian Wildlife Health Centre can include a bearded dragon, feathertail glider, long-nosed potoroo, wedge-tailed eagle, orangebellied parrot, super parrot, juvenile powerful owl and a truckload of turtles. And, they are just some of the 1500 or so animals the sanctuary’s vet nurse team deals with each year. The team celebrated their chosen profession on Friday, 13 October, along with veterinary nurses everywhere, as part of National Vet Nurse Day, an initiative of the Veterinary Nurses Council of Australia. Senior Vet Nurse Jodi Sievwright heads the sanctuary team which includes Sarah Kaiser, Ellen Richmond, Kelly Wynn and Gerry Ross. Growing up in the country, Jodi said she always wanted to work with animals and got a foot in the door as a volunteer with the RSPCA. It’s not an easy profession to break into, and to be qualified in Australia entails a twoyear course with a prerequisite that you have worked in the industry. Jodi said while a love of animals was a given, there was a lot more to the job. “It’s a skill to be a vet nurse,” she said. “It’s not just about cuddling the animals, it is about common sense, recognising illness and applying all the

technical and practical skills you learn. “There are so many different species to learn about, and making the transition from small animals to wildlife is a whole new learning curve,” she said. Sanctuary director Ross Williamson welcomed National Vet Nurse Day as an opportunity to highlight the valuable role they play in caring for animals that are taken to the sanctuary after being found orphaned, injured or sick. “Our team’s number one goal is to see these animals released back into the wild, and they work very hard on a case by case basis to provide world-class care to our unique wildlife,” Mr Williamson said. “It’s hard not to be inspired by the work our expert team does every day, at the forefront of wildlife care and welfare, when you see them in action at the Australian Wildlife Health Centre.” Visitors to the sanctuary can see the vets and the vet nurses in action at all stages of an animal’s care in the innovative glass-walled hospital and learn more about the work they do at daily talks at 11am, 1.30pm and 3pm. Jodi said it was great to have a day dedicated to recognising their work, and vet nursing as a profession. “In some countries, it is not so well recognised and respected as it is here, so I feel very lucky to be working in Australia, and at Healesville Sanctuary,” she said.

Amazon is coming and Yarra Ranges’ small business owners are invited to learn how to utilise e-commerce ahead of its arrival in Australia. Nine local councils, including Yarra Ranges, have pooled resources to help local businesses get started with an E-Commerce Revolution Conference to be held on Friday, 27 October. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Noel Cliff said with Amazon coming to Australia they wanted to make sure local businesses could effectively market their products online. “People are looking for products online all the time, day and night, and businesses that aren’t online end up limiting their reach and their success,” he said. Yarra Ranges’ retail sector employs almost 4800 people and generates more than $526 million in the local economy each year. Keynote speaker, futurist and technology commentator Chris Riddell will be joined by representatives from Telstra, Australia Post and other industry leaders at the conference which will be held at the Manningham Civic Centre in Doncaster. To register visit yarraranges.vic.gov.au/ecommerce before 5pm on Friday, 20 October.

Moved by story I was truly moved by the story on Wendy and Terry Barnett “Rare dementia hits librarian” in the Mountain Views this week. Almost 30 years ago I lost my grandmother to a cancer that most people who get it today would survive, if diagnosed early. As Mr Barnett pointed out, this is down to the research that has come up with early detection and treatment, thanks to the millions of dollars spent on research. Now I am watching my mother suffer through the early stages of Alzheimer’s and although she is still able to function, seeing her lose her cognitive abilities, and witnessing the gradual changes in her, is terrifying. Knowing there is no cure, so no hope at this point, makes it hard to stay positive at times,

which we do for her sake. The comparison with the situation cancer research was at 30 years ago, made me think about the need to put pressure on those who can help put the sort of money that is needed, probably many millions of dollars, into research. Please God, we won’t have to wait 30 years for this to happen. Thank you to Wendy and Terry Barnett for their bravery in raising this important issue, and to the Mountain Views for bringing it to people's notice. If everyone who knows someone who is suffering from Alzheimer’s wrote to their local politicians, that would be many hundreds of thousands of people and may make a difference. My best wishes to the Barnett family. Maureen Fitzsimmons, Yarra Glen.

“The rangers said it was one of the worst he had ever seen,” Mr Quinn said. “Been here on 20 years never seen anything like that ... a lot of the property is bush, and I’ve never seen stray dogs here.” In August, two dogs of Husky appearance were also reported loose in Cockatoo by police. A police report on Cardinia Eyewatch stated that dogs entered a property on Boronia Crescent, where they then attacked a ‘victim’s goat before turning on the victim’. Local veterinary clinics around the Yarra Ranges also share similar stories of livestock

Seniors and the young are the target of an intergenerational health and well-being expo to be held at Yarra Glen Memorial Hall on Friday, 27 October. Yarra Glen and District Living and Learning Centre is hosting the ‘A Fun Way to Healthy Living and Good Health Expo’, supported by Yarra Ranges Council, to celebrate Seniors Month.

Yarra Ranges Council has revealed that so far for 2017 there have been 150 dog attacks in the Yarra Ranges municipality, which is down from 167 for the 2016 period. Though, so far for the year, there have been 87 rushes reported in the Yarra Ranges, in comparison to 76 in 2016. “Rush at" means the dog has approached a person within three metres in a menacing manner; this includes displaying aggressive behaviour such as snarling, growling and raising the hackles. Council director of Corporate Services Troy Edwards said that many of the dogs, which were identified, were euthanised following the incident. “Once the attack has been reported to council, it is council’s responsibility to investigate the matter,” he said. “A number of dogs have been euthanised voluntarily by their owner this year as the result of an attack.” On the Yarra Ranges Council website, it states that 97 per cent of prosecutions are for dog attacks on people or animals. In September, a dog attack on sheep in The Patch saw 22 killed. The owner, Peter Quinn, said Rangers who responded to the scene identified it as one of the worst they had seen in the Dandenong Ranges. Mr Quinn said it was likely that the dogs were domesticated as they had not returned the following night, and in his 20 years of living there, he had never seen or heard of wild dogs.

Histor y of our water world The 90th anniversary of the completion of Maroondah Dam is the focus of History Week celebrations at Healesville Library. History week is officially from 15 to 22 October but the library will marking the anniversary all month with displays from Melbourne Water in association with the Healesville and District Historical Society.

The historical society display charts the history, on illustrated boards, of the Maroondah Water Supply Scheme at Healesville from its early days as the Watts River Scheme to the current day when it is an integral part of Melbourne’s water supply. Accompanying this display is an exhibition assembled by Melbourne Water’s heritage staff featuring artefacts from the Maroondah Collec-

tion at Preston Reservoir. Items on display include books with early photos of Maroondah Reservoir, a pick from the 1930s, Board of Works signs from the old MMBW and a surprising variety of tourism merchandise such as teaspoons, bottle openers, ashtrays and postcards featuring pictures of the reservoir.

“Maroondah Reservoir was quite the place to go in the early years and visitors wanted souvenirs,” explained Melbourne Water archaeologist Penelope Spry, who assembled the exhibition with heritage manager Paul Balassone. In addition to the month-long exhibition, during History Week visitors to the library will be able to view historic footage of the construction of the dam.

When Normie Rowe shares his story on Yarra Valley FM 99.1 it will mark a milestone in the 19year history of the longest-running, uninterrupted interview program on community radio. Listen to Older Voices will go to air with its 1000th episode on Monday, 23 October, when the ’60s pop idol, entertainer and Vietnam veteran and advocate talks with presenter Rob Greaves about his remarkable life ... so far. Listen to Older Voices first went to air in 1988 as part of the Melba Community Support Program run by Steels Creek community worker Hannah Sky out of Healesville. It was an inspired and innovative program that aimed to give a voice to the older residents of the Yarra Valley. Under Uniting Wesley, which now runs the Melba Club, the program was expanded to provide a public platform for the stories, views and opinions of older people across Melbourne. Rob is only the third interviewer in the program’s impressive run, following in the footsteps of Des Ford and Jacey Hall. Hannah said enlisting the guidance of some of the valley’s most prominent elders, including Niall and Elaine Brennan, Werner Pelz, Ann van den Beukal, Harry Lacon and Elizabeth Marshall, all in their eighties and nineties, was an important initial step. “The funding was aimed at raising the profile of ageing and aged people and we decided very early in the piece that the best way to do that was to go with the life stories of ordinary people, and they were just so brilliant,” Hannah said. “The thing I treasure most, looking back, is that we had so many people who after their program had gone to air would say they felt they had been validated in their lives, that their lives mattered, that they were at the end of their lives and they had not wasted their time.” Jacey too has fond memories of interviews with ordinary locals with extraordinary stories to tell. Most of the people she interviewed in her five years as presenter were in their eighties and nineties and had lived through unprecedented changing social, economic and industrial times, including two world wars and the Depression years. Kit Cutting from Upper Yarra had one of the most remarkable stories. Jacey recalls that Kit’s parents were living in some remote part of the Victorian bush, living by day in the open and sleeping in a massive hollowed out tree at night while they built their house. “It was not until she was five that Kit saw any other human being than her mum and dad,” Jacey recalled. “When she was five a swaggie came along looking to make a bit of money. She couldn’t go to school up in the bush and it turned out he had been a professor of some sort, but with the Depression couldn’t get a job. “He stayed around and they paid him for over a year to teach her to read and write.” Jacey said every story fascinated and surprised her. Ron Howard from Big Pats Creek was a favourite “just because he was Ron,” she said. Others too numerous to mention come to mind. “I can honestly say I loved them all,” she said. Rob has been at the microphone for 13 years and says he is incredibly proud of all that Listen to Older Voices has been able to achieve. “This country is where it is today because of what everyday older Australians have done in their lives, and Listen to Older Voices provides a channel through which those stories can be told. “It is a powerful tool for promoting positive ageing,” he said. Indigenous elder, actor and member of the stolen generation, Jack Charles, stands out as one of the most fascinating and important people he has interviewed.

Jacey Hall took the stories of hundreds of the valley’s elders to the airwaves. 173659_05. “Everybody has a story and everybody’s story needs to be told, but Jack’s was particularly important because it was a story of someone who overcame significant challenges and used that experience to tackle a range of issues affecting his fellow Indigenous people. “His story resonated with a lot of listeners from culturally diverse backgrounds,” Rob said. Hannah is another of his memorable interviewees, telling her story to mark the program’s 500th episode. The program has made its mark over the years coming runner-up in the National Radio news, interviews and public affairs media award presented annually by Older People Speak Out and with 19 episodes held as part of the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra. While Yarra Valley Radio 99.1FM is the home radio station of Listen to Older Voices, 23 community radio stations regularly download it on satellite and it is heard around Australia on more than 30 stations over the years. Hannah, Rob and Jacey are in one voice when they say that the strength and the appeal of Listen to Older Voices is the people and their stories. “The most important part of Listening to Older Voices is that it is recognition for all those people who lived through all those things,” Jacey said. “Looking back, if we were smart enough, and had the opportunity to get it all down and sounding like a story, that’s really something for everyone.” Rob will continue the program, travelling across Melbourne armed with his portable recording equipment and battling everything from chiming cuckoo clocks to cable-chewing dogs. And, he says, listening is the key to a good interview. “One of the things I learnt early in the process is shut up and let the person talk,” he said. As with Jacey and Hannah, Rob said: “It’s been an honour”. “You don’t just get invited into people’s homes, you get invited into their lives.” To tune into the milestone 1000th episode with Normie Rowe, tune into YV FM 99.1 or via the podcast on the Toorak Times website.

REMEMBER THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN!

Never underestimate the power of the pub chook raffle to do good. A long-standing tradition of hotels, RSLs and sports clubs, the prizes have evolved in recent years and, according Craig Barnett, owner of the Yarra Glen Grand Hotel, the popularity of the fund-raiser is never in doubt. Craig introduced the tradition of the Friday night raffle to the Grand and says it is particularly well supported by the locals.

“When we get to around the $1000 mark, which is about every six to eight weeks, we donate the money to a local charity,” Craig said. “This year we have given to the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal and the Yarra Glen RSL, and today, we’re very happy to be able to hand over $1000 to the Yarra Glen Living and Learning Centre.” Living and Learning Centre manager Debra Traill said they were very thankful for the donation, which she said would

be well spent with the centre’s edible forest garden ready and waiting to be planted out. “It’s nice for people who support these fund-raising initiatives to know that their hardearned cash is going to something that will benefit the whole community,” Ms Traill said. She said that benefit would continue next year, with workshops aimed at upskilling community members to develop their own small gardens as a way of helping at a local level with future food security.

They had it the hardest By Kath Gannaway Life was tough for most people working in the timber industry around the Yarra Valley, but according to Robbie Heritage, the men dealing with the dregs of the operation, the pulp cutters and carters, had it the hardest. Robbie, speaks each year about an aspect of the timber industry at the annual Timber Workers Memorial Service, held at the Heritage and Heritage Pioneer Chapel at Woori Yallock. The service will be held on Saturday, 21 October at 11am, at the Heritage and Heritage Pioneer Chapel at Woori Yallock which is dedicated to the men, women and families whose lives were, and are, part of the industry. “I reckon the pulp cutters and carters got the worst deal in the whole process,” Robbie said. He said the pay rates were set by the sawmill

owners and there’s no doubt in his mind the pulp cutters did it harder than anyone else. “In those days, the end of the ‘50s and the early ‘70s we had blokes like Huey Snodgrass, Kevin Ford, Bo Commans, Charlie Martino and Pablo and Andueza, who are just some of the people who worked in the bush cutting the pulp timber into six and eight-foot lengths to be carted to Maryvale in Gippsland for paper,” he said. Charlie Martino was a young Italian lad who travelled from Box Hill to work in the bush. Huey Snodgrass was renowned for adapting his Studebaker with a 1943 Bren gun carrier to deal with the muddy conditions. In past years Robbie has paid tribute to some of the area’s timber families including the McConachies who worked out of the Powelltown region, the Sund family from Marysville and “old” Perc Isaac from East Warburton who he speaks of

with unfettered admiration. “Perc was a great axeman,” Robbie said, adding that during the Depression he rode his pushbike to Horsham to get work. “What a great man,” he said. “What great people, and they’re our people,” he said. He tells their stories in his own down-to-earth style - mostly uncensored, occasionally with a bit of controversy, always with humour, admiration and love for the ‘great people’. The Timber Memorial Service is open to the community, with a special invitation to anyone who has connections to the timber industry families past and present. Heritage and Heritage is at 1416 Healesville Kooweerup Road, Woori Yallock. For more details email info@heritagefunerals. com.au , or call 5964 6500.

A stirring Russian piece By Kath Gannaway Shostakovich’s string quartet No 8 in C minor Op 110, is the hero piece of the next Five on Fridays concert series at The Memo in Healesville on Friday, 20 October. It’s a serious piece of music, written by the Russian composer in Dresden, Germany in 1960 and described as one of the most profound and personal of musical statements by a master of 20th century music. Orchestra Victoria’s Waratah String Quartet - Yi Wang, Tomomi Brennan, Jason Bunn and Melissa Chominsky will present the piece as part of the ‘Music and Politics: Shostakovich Speaks’ concert. Concertmaster and violinist Yi Wang describes the piece as ‘remarkable’ and said the quartet is looking forward to playing it in the intimate space of The Memo.

He points out that it is performed more frequently than Shostakovich’s other 14 quartets put together. Shostakovich wasn’t personally in a good place when he wrote No 8 and Wang says there is some contradiction about his intentions when he was writing it. “It’s titled for the victims of the fascists and the Nazis but during that time in Dresden he was being pressured by the Russian government who felt he was against Stalin,” he explains. Concerts were cancelled and a lot of his pieces were forbidden to be played, leading him to be in a very dark place mentally. He believes the piece can be both a reflection of the political and the personal man. It’s a heavy piece, but Wang says music doesn’t have to be cheerful. “It can make us think about feelings

and emotions,” he said. “Shostakovich wrote it with such intensity and people everywhere have different stories and can reflect in their own life how they feel about this piece. “In a way, it is easy to understand,” he says. “If you listen to it you can feel the brutality of war, but you can also feel the sorrow from his heart and all the emotions.” The program represents the masterpiece quartets written in three different centuries. Franz Joseph Haydn’s Opus 77 No 1, written in 1799 - one of the Austrian composer’s most famous pieces, and Czech composer Anton in Dvorak’s American Quarter, written around 1893, provide lighter, more uplifting counter pieces. Wang said the connection between musicians and audience is what makes the smaller venue concerts special, and

whether classical or pop, a live performance is completely different to hearing music on a CD or on radio. “The audience can feel the body language, can feel the expression or mood the musicians want to present and can easily relate to it,” he says. And he believes it is the same for the musicians who he said can see the facial expressions, read the body language and communication between audience members and feel a connection. For many people the regional concerts are the first introduction to live classical music and each piece will be introduced. “We talk about what they meant to the composer, what they mean to us and what they meant to the era in which they were written so people can use their own imagination to understand the music,” he says. Tickets are $26, $22 concession and

It’s elegance all over On Saturday 28 October, the stunningly elegant Projekt 3488 in Warburton will host The Celestial Cabaret, a convergence of some of Melbourne and the Yarra Valley’s finest musicians in a night of jazz, sublime musicianship and a selection of some of the greatest songs of the 20th Century. The program includes Stardust Jazz Quartet, playing music from jazz luminaries such as Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis,

Death was never this fun on the same morning. Rothe delivers a powerful central performance, conveying sassy wit, driven tenacity and an affecting melancholy deep beneath. It’s gratifying to watch Tree, who is initially quite an unlikeable protagonist, use the constant repeats of her day to examine her troubled life and steadily become a better person. The tense, cohesive plot contains several motifs that are established early on and culminate in satisfying ways, and even has some well-executed

red-herrings. The film and Tree herself both have ample fun with the freedom in her ever-repeating day, but the severity of her situation is always clear, emphasised through disturbing death scenes and a clever ticking-clock element, wherein Tree becomes weaker with every death and 'resurrection’. Scary, poignant and amusing, Happy Death Day is a fun diversion to bring in the Halloween season. - Seth Hynes

The rare patch of bush is very much a hidden treasure with the landscape varying from the drier ridge to the damp, lush fern gullies and, particularly at this time of year, vibrant green mosses. Ground orchids and other wildflowers come out in spring including spectacular displays of pink heath, the Victorian floral emblem. There are almost 100 bird species in the reserve along with wallabies, wombats, possums and native rats. The once a year open day provides an opportunity for

locals and visitors to discover, or rediscover, the remarkable remnant of bushland that gives an insight into what much of Launching Place might have been like for the early settlers. The Friends put on a sausage sizzle and refreshments, there will be a raffle, guided and selfguided walks and an exhibition of artworks by local artists.

For lovers of local history, and lovers of the bush, Wanderslore Sanctuary at Launching Place has plenty to offer. On Sunday, 22 October, Wanderslore will be open to the public, its once a year opportunity to reveal the little-known treasure to the world. The historic 1920s subdivision was saved from development, and from a planned highway, by teacher and artist Constance Coleman. Miss Coleman inherited a block in the bushland subdivision behind the Home Hotel and over time bought up adjoining blocks, 22 in all, to create a haven for native birds, animals and plants. As senior mistress at Lilydale High for 25 years, she lived in the cottage that her father William Rowland Coleman built as a holiday house from which to enjoy his fishing expeditions, and painted in her studio, a former railway building. Miss Coleman gifted the property to Trust for Nature and it is curated by a Trust for Nature committee of management and Friends of Wanderslore who have over the past three decades worked on clearing the bush of weeds and returning it

Duke Ellington and Chet Baker followed by the Dead Divas Celestial Cabaret. Featuring the glorious voices of Jodie Walker and Caroline Dickason, and backed by the Heavenly Kingdom Combo, they present the music of Judy Garland, Etta James, Nina Simone, Cilla Black, Sarah Vaughan, Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin. The evening will be topped off by local acoustic trouba-

This Saturday night Alexandra and District Speedway Club kicks off its new season with the popular high powered Late Model Sedans leading the show, with all the local club classes supporting the visitors. Late Model Sedan racing is growing and Alexandra members have a lot to do with that growth with former club juniors Cameron Pearson, Chevy Edwards and Brock Edwards moving into the class and are quite possibly the future of the class as far as front runners is concerned. Pearson would enter this weekend at Alexandra as one of the favourites with wins in features already under his belt. Tim McPherson and James Cornfoot are another two Alexandra racers keen to win or place at their home track, McPherson in particular making a name for himself as the tip-in king at the big and fast Alexandra venue. Challenges will come from Graham Forte travelling down from just over the Victoria-NSW border, Mat D’Annunzio from the Canberra club, Warren White Jr also from north of the border and Kristin Vermeulen from New Zealand. Add to that a Late Model Sedan rookie George Napier who has plenty of experience in speedway and nominations so far are strong. Action supporting the visiting late models includes all club classes as the chase for season points gets underway. Sports Sedans, Victorian Speedway Council Junior Sedans, Speedway Sedans Australia Junior Sedans, Street Stocks and Standard Saloons complete the show. Drivers among the Sports Sedan field to watch include Dale Smith,

�� Connecting people with local sport…

One impressive win By Chris Anderson Another cracking day greeted cricketers in the Yarra Valley over the weekend. With the lower and junior grades kicking of their season, there was action aplenty for local cricketers. This week’s fixture saw the teams in the top two grades, DJ Strachan Shield and RA Finger Trophy, pitted against teams in their respective divisions. In DJ Strachan Shield, Yarra Glen continued their perfect start to the season with a comprehensive victory against Seville. In the first year back in the top flight last season, the Glen showed glimpses of their capabilities, but the consistency and talent of their opponents saw them miss finals action. With an off-season to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, they have started the new season in style, giving them great confidence. Seville opened the game with the bat and found themselves under constant pressure, despite a solid innings from new coach Ranga Yasalal (49). Jimmy Lusk (5/32) has definitely highlighted the improvement in this young Yarra Glen side as the legspinner added a five-wicket haul to add to his four Round 1 wickets making him the competition’s in form bowler. He was again well assisted by opening bowler Dean Barker (3/26) who had the Blues under immediate pressure. The pair managed to bowl the visitors out for a moderate total of 102. The most impressive aspect of the home side’s victory was the assured nature of the chase as they managed to attain the target with little problem. Openers David Brambilla (52*) and Andy Cowan (34) continued their early season form; and with some assured experience at the top of the order, the visitors found creating vital chances difficult. In the end, they were powerless to stop Yarra Glen recording their second victory by an impressive nine wickets. The big winners of the Strachan Shield games would have to be Yarra Junction as they upset reigning champs Warburton-Millgrove. The Eagles lost a few of their best in the off-season, and many asked how they would cover the losses. So far, they have done so with an all-round team approach. The Burras opened the game with the bat; and despite missing some of their key batsmen, would’ve been confident in their batting depth to cover the losses and post a defendable total. They did manage to bat out their overs, but the Eagles bowlers proved that they are going to be a difficult proposition this season.

With consistent contributors across the board, highlighted by contributions from Brad Nightingale (3/1) and Nick Lawlor (2/24), the Eagles squeezed the visitors and restricted them to a modest 110. Chasing a total of 110 against the competition’s best could prove to be a tricky proposition; however, the home side navigated their way with aplomb. Despite losing three wickets along the way, the Eagles were able to put together a series of useful partnerships that would allow them to reach their target. Andy Taylor (39) was once again his team’s main contributor as he gave the home team the best start possible, while English import Andy Wear (22) and club stalwart Matt Hammond (24*) ensured this golden opportunity would not slip. For the Burras, they had their opportunities, but defending a small total, they needed a run of wickets that they just couldn’t produce. In the final Strachan Shield game, Mount Evelyn continued Healesville’s early season woes with clinical victory against the Bloods. Healesville elected to bat first, and from the outset found the going tough. Veterans Chris Anderson (2/19) and Brad Jones got the ball rolling for the visitors, and Healesville just couldn’t keep up. Chad Witherdin (3/19) and Gareth Fraser (2/12) ensured the pressure would be maintained as they closed out the Bloods innings for a disappointing 83. It could’ve been a darn sight worse had it not been for a fighting innings from Brenton Damrow (45*) who bravely carried his bat for the entire innings as he watched his partners continually fall by the wayside. Although not exactly polished in their chase, the Rovers managed to keep their heads and secured a comfortable seven-wicket win. The pillar of the chase as stand in captain Gareth Fraser (40) who completed a tidy all-round effort to lead his team to victory. On the RA Finger Trophy side of things, Wandin continued their exciting start to the season. After enduring a tough 2016-‘17 season, the Bulldogs have certainly shown that they are willing to tackle the new structure gusto. After brushing aside Healesville in the first week, the Bulldogs followed up by taking the scalp of last season’s premiers, Gruyere. The Scorpions opened the contest with the bat and found it tough to develop a crucial partnership of substance. Gruyere captain Jared Carroll (59) did his best to ensure his team was building to a decent total; however, he struggled to find partners to join him for the journey.

Tim Thorne (3/17) and Ethan Alderman (2/10) tightened the screws on the Scorpions batsmen and restricted them to a manageable 107. In reply, Gruyere had their chances press for victory; however, the total always looked slightly short. Ricky Painter (44) followed up on his first-round half century with another solid innings adding a little assurance at the top of the Bulldogs’ chase. With Painter keeping things on track, the visitors claimed another impressive victory, this time by five wickets. After electing to step back from the top flight this season, Woori Yallock won a tight contest against Coldstream. Going into the season, these two sides would’ve ranked amongst the competition’s favourites, so this early season clash would be a good early indicator of where these sides stood. Woori Yallock batted first and proved they still have some A Grade talent among their ranks. For some time, Mick Dwyer (58) has proven himself as one of the Association’s most reliable openers. With the departure of some of their gun bats over the winter, the spotlight is well and truly set on their remaining experience. Dwyer held things together at the top of the order with a fine half century, while he was ably supported by Cal Ferguson (35) and Paul Broussard (26) at the other end. Through consistent partnerships, the Tigers were able to post a solid 4/158. Coldstream have been a front runner in Finger Trophy over the past few seasons, and they would’ve relished the opportunity to pit their talents against a similar ranked team. The Crocs had their moments in the chase, a solid opening partnership, contributions from their experienced batsmen, but what the chase lacked was a partnership or individual innings that would take the game away from the Tigers. Dean Oliffe (25), Paul Harris (22), and Nathan Taylor (35) gave the Crocs every chance at the top, but with none of them able to make a significant contribution, the chase was always a little off the pace. Wickets to Dennis Dunn (3/17) and Stephen Morgan (3/49) heaped the pressure on the Crocs as they were unable to bridge the gap, eventually falling a mere 13 runs short. The final RA Finger Trophy clash produced the highest scoring and closest contest of the round. Hoddles Creek hosted Launching Place in the tight tussle. The home side elected to bat first and captain Luke Hetherington (61) gave his team the best possible start at the top of the order.

The Wombats attacked from the outset and capitalised on the small confines of the Hoddles Creek Reserve. Hetherington was supported by some useful top order contributions, and Simon McLachlan (51*) ensured the innings would lose no momentum with a blistering finish. When the books were tallied, the Wombats had posted a sizeable 7/201. Not to be outdone by their neighbours, Launching Place made a fair fist of the chase. Anchored by an impressive unbeaten 82 from Andrew Van Der Vlught, and a series of strong partnerships, the visitors found themselves up to their eyeballs in this contest. With the run rate always about the mark, this contest was destined for a thrilling finish. In the end, despite only capturing four wickets, the home side were able to keep their nerve, and keep things tight with the ball to secure and exciting eight-run victory.

Motoring Don’t park it, rent it out From last month, RACV members can make money from their under-used vehicles and also rent a wide range of quality vehicles at reasonable prices. RACV has partnered with DriveMyCar, Australia’s largest peer-topeer car rental marketplace, to connect owners of under-used vehicles with those who temporarily require a vehicle but want to avoid the prices charged by traditional car rental companies. RACV has come a long way in 114 years, from its traditional roots as an automobile club to one that is making new forms of transport easier to access for Victorians by embracing the sharing economy. This partnership with DriveMyCar opens up the peer-to-peer car sharing platform to more Victorians and advances RACV’s strategy of enabling all Victorians to consider alternative transport options beyond the conventional use of their own car. A report from the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) found that the average car is parked at home 80 per cent of the time, parked elsewhere 16 per cent of the time and on the move only four per cent of the time. Consider these statistics with the overall average cost of running a vehicle estimated by RACV at $207.84 per week, and that a car sitting in the driveway is very likely not earning its keep. RACV and DriveMyCar have creat-

The sharing economy is extending to the car rental sector. ed a trusted marketplace where owners can list their under-utilised vehicles, and renters can search for and book a vehicle. RACV DriveMyCar offers rental periods from seven to 365 days and is up to 50 per cent cheaper than

traditional car rental companies. To book a car through RACV DriveMyCar, a stringent verification process which includes driver’s license verification and a credit check is completed to ensure owners have full confidence

when renting out their car. All vehicles rented through RACV DriveMyCar are covered by insurance and RACV’s 24/7 emergency roadside assistance. Phil Turnbull, RACV’s executive general manager of motoring and mobility says the organisation is evolving to meet an increasing range of commuter needs. “Our 2.1 million member-base covers a huge cross-section of the population who use a variety of transport modes in their everyday life and we recognise that Victorians want greater flexibility when it comes to how they commute,” Mr Turnbull said. “RACV’s partnership with DriveMyCar allows Victorians to adjust the way they use a car to better serve their needs. It might be that your household only uses one car, while the second is sitting almost unused. For renters, it means cheaper access to a greater range of vehicles for the period that you actually require one, without the expenses that come with ownership.” RACV DriveMyCar already has over 150 registered owners in Victoria looking to make money from vehicles which would otherwise be sitting idle in their garage. It is the first time in the club’s history that RACV members have the opportunity to generate an income through one of its services. Chris Noone, CEO of DriveMyCar,

said; “We’re delighted to announce the launch of our partnership with RACV. The sharing economy is part of a wider trend of people thinking differently about everything from cars to caravans. Victorians want to take advantage of these new services, while also dealing with the providers they’ve trusted for years. Our partnership with RACV ensures they are able to do this.” For Neil Newbegin, peer-to-peer car sharing makes economic sense. Renting out his otherwise dormant 2012 Holden Commodore has given Mr Newbegin an opportunity to make money on a car he wants to keep but seldom uses. “I like knowing that my car is making money for me when I’m not using it. I own two cars and often use public transport to get around. I’m reluctant to sell my second car as I enjoy having a choice in what I drive so it’s the perfect solution,” Mr Newbegin said. For a limited time, owners who list their car on RACV DriveMyCar are eligible for a ‘welcome bonus’ upon the first rental of their vehicle. New customers will receive free RACV personal membership. For more information and to calculate how much money you can make from your under-utilised vehicle or to rent a vehicle, go to www.racv.com.au/ drivemycar.

Toyota has the power

12348896-PB16-17

Toyota Motor Corporation has formed a joint venture with Mazda Motor Corporation and Denso Corporation to develop basic structural technologies for electric vehicles (EVs) with a view to reducing costs and lead times. The three companies are establishing a new company that will develop a diverse range of models, from mini-vehicles to passenger vehicles, SUVs and light trucks to ensure flexible and rapid response to market trends. Called the EV Common Architecture Spirit Co. Ltd, the new company will be owned 90 per cent by Toyota while Mazda and Denso will each have stakes of five per cent. Toyota, Japan’s largest vehicle manufacturer, said the joint technological development project would ensure efficient development processes, and take advantage of existing production facilities. It would allow Toyota and Mazda to create appealing EVs that embody the unique identities of each brand and avoid the commoditisation of EVs. Toyota says new regulations that mandate a certain proportion of electric vehicle sales are beginning to emerge as countries adopt increasingly stringent policies to help reduce greenhouse gases. It said complying with these environmental regulations, while ensuring sustainable growth, required the development of a wide range of powertrains and technologies. “We regard electric vehicles (EVs) as a key technological

Toyota is leading a new electric vehicle joint venture. field in this process alongside fuel-cell vehicles," Toyota said. “With EVs yet to find widespread market acceptance, the huge investments and time required to cover all markets and vehicle segments is a pressing issue for individual automakers when responding to the widely varying demand for vehicles around the world. “The new company aims to innovate the development process by combining the strengths of each company, including Mazda’s bundled product planning and prowess in computer modelling-based development, Denso’s electronics technologies, and the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform."

Verification of component installation and vehicle performance realised by the characteristics achieved in item 1). 3. Examination of the optimum concept for each car classification with regard to each component and each type of vehicle realized by achieving items 1) and 2). It will initially have about 40 employees including selected engineers from the three companies.
