Rewarding kindness of the community By Casey Neill Healesville's first Random Acts of Kindness week is on its way. Beechworth Bakery's Kylie Bray said the idea for the project had been in her head for the past year or more. "It's to bring the businesses together and celebrate the great people in the town," she said. "We all know people who are more community-minded than most of us. "People who don't fly their own flag but just get in there and do what's needed to help others, like chop an extra load of wood for the elderly lady down the road etcetera. "Every community is better for having people like them." Ms Bray wants the Healesville business community to show those good Samaritans how much they're appreciated. The bakery is planning a month-long promotion, starting in October, asking people to nominate unsung heroes in the Healesville community - "people who not only deserve recognition but also a treat". There'll be a daily winner from Monday 5 to Sunday 11 November. "They'll receive a fabulous pamper hamper made up of great treats and goods from local businesses to show the Healesville community's appreciation. "Whoever has nominated one of the winners will receive a $25 gift card from us." Ms Bray said a panel would choose the win-

Mail Covering the foothills of the Yarra Ranges & Murrindindi Shires

The editor’s desk If there’s a more picturesque drive to work than heading into the Yarra Valley along the Maroondah Highway, I’d like to see it. On my first day as editor at the Mail, back in July, the fog was just lifting from the valley. Sunshine was streaming down, bouncing off the light mist that hung in the air and making the dew on the grassy paddocks appear to glisten. Hot air balloons were bobbing above the mountains, sheep were taking in some breakfast, spectacular native birds were soaring overhead… I was driving into a tourism advertisement. But of course the valley has so much more to offer than just its sublime appearance. It’s a heart-warming place to spend time. The people who call the valley home are so passionate about their community and are constantly striving to make it an even better place. They support each other, they look for the best in every situation, and they find solutions where others complain about problems. For this Best of the Yarra Valley wrap, we searched through our editions from the past 12 months and selected just a handful of stories that highlight the area’s best qualities. I hope you enjoy the read, feel a sense of pride in your community and keep the stories coming. - Casey Neill

Did You Know? The ‘Bendy Bridge’ over Myrtle Creek between Don Valley and Healesville is thought to have been built around 1930, probably replacing an earlier World War I era bridge. The bridge is set on a tight curve on the Don Road and is of architectural, historical and scientific or technical significance to Victoria.

Moira on a mission At 102, Moira Burgi is on a mission to ensure that the pioneering women of Wandin are not forgotten as time passes. Wandin district's pioneering families are well documented through photographs, letters, official documents and other amazing collections of artefacts at Mont De Lancey Historic Homestead. Moira's reflections on what it meant to be a pioneer in the newly settled bushland out past Lillydale over 100 years ago, is viewed through her memories and admiration of her mother, Mary Lily Burgi. Looking out across the orchards from her kitchen table, she points past the nearby orchards. "Mum was born just over that hill," she says. Mary Lily's parents John and Margaret Kiernan owned land on the corner of Maddens Lane and Briarty Road in Gruyere. They had four children, including Mary Lily, Moira's mother and the first white girl born in Gruyere Mary Lily Kiernan would walk the two miles to the state school on the corner of Maddens Lane and Maroondah Highway. "If oxen came along and they could get a ride, that was heaven," she said. Moira recalls her mother talking of the teacher who used to come across the Yarra River in a boat from Tarrawarra to the little school house. She was undoubtedly another of the pioneering women of the late 1800s who influenced the lives of future generations, including Moira. Mary Thynne, Moira's grandmother was Irish and was in Australia for under a a year when she married Johann Burgi a Swiss immigrant in 1864. He became the first settler in Wandin, taking up selection on the corner of the now Burgi Hill and Victoria Roads in 1866. "Grandfather Burgi would walk to vineyards to work and stay overnight. They had 10 children and this was all just forest then," Moira said with a strong intonation of admiration in her voice. In 1910 Mary Lily Kiernan married Edmund Burgi, the eldest of three brothers who

had orchards in Wandin in the early 1900s. With three young children - Moira, her older brother Bernard and younger brother Edmund - they might have expected to live a happy and productive life together. Moira was only seven when her father, a Shire of Lillydale Councillor, died suddenly of a burst appendix, leaving Mary Lily a widow with three young children to support. "I wish I knew more," Moira said contemplating just how her mother managed. Her father hadn't made a will so the probate had to go to court. "As I understand it, the widow had to get the property but any money had to be put away until the children turned 21. "The youngest was five at the time; there was no pension, no help at all really, not even concession on rates," she said. "How mum fed us I don't know, but she did." The two boys went to Wandin Yallock State School but the decision was made that walking such a long way to the school would be too much for Moira so she boarded at Mount Lilydale Mercy College. Her mum would drive the horse and jinker down to Lilydale once a month and bring her home for the weekend.

Mary Lily was struggling to pay Moira's school fees and for a while it looked like she was going to have to leave at 14. "Mum really couldn't afford to keep me there but the college intervened and I went back for another year." At a time when help was needed on the orchard, that was a sacrifice. Moira's own career pathway is a credit to her and to her hard-working mother whose resilience and work-ethic was, although she says she didn't fully appreciate it at the time, an inspiration. At 15 Moira joined other family members working in the orchard picking cherries. "Mum continued to work in the orchard and it was very hard work," she said. "There were a lot of fruit-pickers and mum always did the baking to provide morning and afternoon tea." She recalls that during World War 2 the government wanted to enlist her in the Women's Land Army, but she was needed at home. By this time Edmund was away fighting and Bernard, who had a young family of his own, worked the orchard. Moira went on to become a mothercraft nurse working in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. She worked in the office of a school offering adult education in Kew and later worked for the doctors at the 'old clinic' in Lilydale as receptionist. Age is just a number, as Moira points out. "I read the death notices every day and see people 105, so I'm not the only one," she says. But she has had time to reflect more in recent years on the women in her family who faced and dealt with so many challenges, from isolation and hard physical work to lack of medical services and electricity. Looking at a photo of her beautiful and resilient mum, Moira reflects on her place in Wandin's history. "I look at this and keep thinking of what a pioneer she was," she says.

Milestones made By Kath Gannaway The Mail loves a milestone, and we know that our communities and our readers love to celebrate them too. They can be sporty, personal, historic ... and anything from one year to 130 years ... or more! Here are a few that we covered over the past 12 months. Seville Primary School marked 130 years when they celebrated on 12 November, and they did it with the opening of a time capsule dating back 30 years. Healesville Football Club Netball Club also marked 130 years in June, boasting that the Bloods had been around longer than the Collingwood Football Club. Our CFA brigades hold a special place in our communities and they also make sure that they mark the achievements of their founders and their members. Wesburn-Millgrove CFA marked 70 years in July and paid tribute to its volunteers for their years of service. Maureen Halit was surprised on 17 October when her Millgrove Resident Action Group friends and other community members forced her to down tools at her Millgrove Newsagency business for an hour or so for her 70th birthday party. In July, the Yarra Valley machinery Preservation Society got all steamed up about their journey, looking back on 30 years of cranking up the engines for shows, field days, fetes and other events all around Yarra Ranges. Yarra Valley Singers were in fine voice as they came together for another 30 year anniversary. The singers marked their milestone with a concert at The Memo in Healesville in August.

The historic homestead pays heritage to the district's pioneering families and heritage. On Monday, 23 October, the 1000th episode of Listening to Older Voices went to air on Yarra Valley FM 99.1 marking a 19-year history of the longest-running, uninterrupted interview program on community radio. An inspired and innovative program, it aimed to give a voice to the older residents of the Yarra Valley and now provides a public platform for the stories, views and older people across Melbourne. Celebrating these milestones brings communities together and provides an insight for current generations of where those communities have come from and who they are.

Young people today! By Kath Gannaway Young people are a force to be reckoned with in the Yarra Valley and two who stand out, among many others, are Healesville's Jayden Crozier and Warburton's Hannah Mahoney. Jayden told the Mail's Derek Schlennstedt that he always knew he wanted to be involved in International Relations and gaining a sixweek internship, at 21, with the United Nations was a huge step towards that goal. The internship in Switzerland placed Jayden at the Australian Permanent Mission to the United Nations for the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Jayden, who has Indigenous Australian heritage, grew up in Healesville and went to Healesville Primary and Healesville High schools. He is studying a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws, majoring in Politics and International Relations at Monash University. He said his Indigenous heritage was a pervading theme in his studies and he hopes to further learn and improve the rights of all Indigenous peoples around the world. Hannah Mahoney from Warburton is a young person whose leadership and involvement in community is an inspiration for others wanting to make a difference. Hannah, 17 and a VCE student at Upper Yarra Secondary College, is Yarra Ranges Council's citizen of the Year. Passionate about her community, social and animal welfare causes, Hannah has proven herself to be fearless in challenging stereotypes around race and gender over a number of years and through many volunteering roles. She is on the committee of Koha Community CafÂ¨Â¦, is a mentor of Koha volunteers and of primary school children at Redwood Community Centre, lobbied to adopt the Victorian Government's Safe Schools Program and took part in the Council's ROAR 2017 Youth Leadership Program. Her words of encouragement to other young people was "Find something you're passionate about and go for it".

What do you love most about where you live? The wide open spaces and the local community. Dan Board, Woori Yallock.

Jayden Crozier made it to the United Nations in Geneva. "It is about contributing to your community, realising that it is possible and that no matter how old you are there is always a way to do that," she said. Gladysdale Primary School's Carter Morrissey is another young leader whose resilience, energy and optimistic outlook on life made him an outstanding choice as school captain in February. Carter has overcome numerous operations to remove a giant birthmark that covered a large part of the right side of his head and face, starting at just 18 months old. Throughout his entire primary school years he has been ready and willing to take on responsibilities and has been a role model for others. In June the Mail reported on a partnership between film-maker 16-year-old Abigail van Bergeijk and equestrian Bridget Murphy, both from Healesville. Abi's film, made for the Focus on Ability Short Film Awards told the story of Bridget's lifetime of determination to overcome the physical challenges of Multiple Pterygium

Syndrome that severely restricts her movement, to become an accomplished dressage rider and an inspiration to others. Abi created, edited and produced the film. One the sporting field, Bayley Fritsch of Coldstream made his AFL debut with, Warburton Slalom champion Ryan Hughes was chosen to represent Australia in the New Zealand Nationals School Championships, Don Valley cross-country skiier Casey Wright made the Australian team for the Winter Olympics and nine Worawa Aboriginal College students umpired an AFL match at the MCG as part of the Dreamtime at The 'G' Indigenous Round. Showing they are prepared to take up the mantle of community service, Coldstream Primary School students formed the first school junior Rotary Club in Yarra Ranges under the auspice of Wandin Rotary and three young women from Yarra Junction, Teri Mcintyre, Robyn Wright and Isabella Andueza, took a stand for girls forming The Girls Movement aimed at empowering young girls. Young people these days ... . aren't they awesome!

Melbourne Water's female fire fighters made the Mail's front page in January as the fire season moved into the new year. Along with visiting American helicopter pilot Jennifer Bartley, the women Monique Williams, Teagan Morris, Lydia Wilson and Evelyn Wilson, all from Healesville, were among the eight casual female fire fighters wearing the distinctive green uniform of Melbourne Water's fire fighting crews involved in fire preparation and suppression work in the catchments. Jennifer, 30, an experienced water-bombing pilot from Ruidoso, New Mexico, arrived in the Yarra Valley in December armed with a strong record of fighting major wildfires from the skies in the US and looking forward to the challenge of aerial fire fighting in another country. She told the Mail she was lucky to get into the industry when she was relatively young, and to have been given the opportunity at around 22 years of age to get into aerial fire fighting. Melbourne Water Executive General Manager, Service Delivery, Charmaine Quick, said the addition of the outstanding American pilot was providing benefits for the rest of the team and a wonderful demonstration of the diverse roles available for women at Melbourne Water. "It's extremely encouraging that we are seeing an increase in the number of female applicants for both full time and seasonal fire fighting roles," Ms Quick said. For Monique, Teagan, Lydia and Evelyn a love of the outdoors was a common thread when we asked what attracted them to a job which is traditionally male dominated.

Top of the state By Casey Neill Launching Place Primary sent it largest-ever contingent to the Schoolaerobics National Championships. The school has competed nationally for the past 10 years but this time had 27 students in four teams successfully reach the competition - including Angus. The Grade 3 student was born with a deformed skeleton and doctors amputated one of his legs when he was very young. Bu the nine-year-old hasn't let having a bionic leg stop him from following his four siblings into aerobics. Teacher Candice Nyman has organised the Launching Place aerobics program since 2008. "This year the school aerobics introduced the gifted program," she said. "It's for anyone who has any disabilities. "Angus did aerobics last year with us, and he was just a part of the team. "When they introduced this we thought it would be a good opportunity for him." Ms Nyman taught a solo for the first time to give Angus a shot at an award in the new program. "He won it in Victoria," she said. "Now he's on his way to nationals." The nationals were held on Queensland's Gold Coast on Saturday 25 August. "Our school has gone for the past 10 years in a row," Ms Nyman said. "This is the most kids and teams we've ever had get through." Students at the school can participate in aerobics from Grade 3. "I just hope that they all go on stage and to their best," she said.

What do you love about the Yarra Valley? I moved to the Yarra Valley 30 years ago and fell in love with its beauty, serenity and the welcoming warmth of the local community. One of my favourite places to visit is Alowyn Gardens, a true gem here in the valley. Debbie Kavanagh, Yarra Glen.

Heading to nationals were, front, Oliver, Kaia, Lara, Lincoln, second row, Lachlan, Shae, Alexandra, Maleyah, Ruben, third row, Remmi, Esra, Summer, Amarli, Mea, Zara, fourth row, Tahlia, Paige, Angus, Emily, Chelsea, fifth row, Taya, Chelsea, Sienne, Ella, back row, Kasie, Taleisha and Cheyenne. "They've been training really hard so it would be nice to get medals and awards. "If they do their best performance anything could happen." Ms Nyman brought aerobics to Yarra Junction from her previous school. "When I came here our school didn't have any activities like that," she said. "It gave kids something to do at recess and lunch time." A huge proportion of the 230-pupil school takes part. "I think it's being part of a team and belonging to something, and also working towards something," she said. "Some of our kids are really flexible but it's something they've had to really work to achieve." There's also plenty of team work involved in ensuring the team's movements are synchronised.

Angus shows off his aerobics moves. 183652 "Our school, it's almost like a culture in the school," she said. "We have kids in Prep that come and watch at recess and lunch time." Dedication from Ms Nyman and fellow teachers Lara Mackie and Jacinta Kemp is a big part of their success. "We all give up our recesses and lunch times every day, and even before school," Ms Nyman said. "We'd love to see it in the high schools nearby so the kids can continue with it." We'll bring you the results as soon as they're available.

If someone was visiting the Yarra Valley what’s the one thing they can’t miss seeing. I always take people to along the Yarra at Healesville or Warburton or along the Toolangi Sculpture Trail. Jamee Cousens, Healesville.

A lifeline at last By Kath Gannaway The Bowness family of Healesville have been thrown a life-line with the listing of cystic fibrosis (CF) medication Orkambi on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme earlier this month. News that the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) had listed the drug after three previously unsuccessful attempts is life-changing for Stephen and Kirsty Bowness and children Liam, 11 and Grace, nine, who have CF. Kirsty and Stephen said they found it hard to describe their feelings at the news which follows a three year campaign. "It's been really hard for us to articulate what this means to us," Kirsty said. "For Stephen and I, this is the first time in 11 years, since Liam was born, that we have a very solid sense of hope for Liam and Grace, for their health and for their future," she says, pausing to take in what that actually means. "Even just voicing that makes me so emotional," she says. Liam and Grace are among 1200 Australians living with cystic fibrosis (CF) who need the drug which has been proven to be successful in improving lung function and increasing weight, resulting in fewer lung infections and less time in hospital. At a cost of more than $290,000 a year, Orkambi has been out of reach of most people, let alone a family with two children. The PBS approval will bring the cost down to around $40 a month, less for concession patients. The family mounted a strong local letterwriting campaign in May as fear grew that another knock-back could see the pharmaceutical company which manufactures the drug, Vertex, back out of Australia. The family's campaign for PBS listing follows years of fundraising for research through the Royal Children's CF Trust, including events well supported by their own Healesville community. Their 2017 PBS campaign included a letter by Liam to local MP Tony Smith that led to a

Once again, the drug failed to get the crucial go-ahead from the PBAC, and the family, and the wider CF community threw everything into this year's submissions. The process to get life-saving drugs listed on the PBS is enormously frustrating and while Kirsty acknowledges that for any family affected by a life-threatening condition the response will always come from an emotional perspective, the fact that drug companies can work so

hard to come up with a life-saving drug which is ultimately financially out of the reach of the vast majority of people is hard to fathom. What is abundantly clear is the goodwill of ordinary people, demonstrated in the response to the call out in May for people to make submissions to the PBAC. The children's school, St Brigid's, mounted a campaign of letters from students, teachers and families, and the broader Healesville community responded as well.

munity in Healesville, family and friends and that everyone did individual responses, I think that's what made a significant difference this time," Stephen said. "I feel like Healesville and our little corner of Australia made a lot of noise with all of our letters, media attention and all of the submissions, I feel we were definitely part of that and feel very proud and grateful," Kirsty added. The hope now is that the government will fast track access and that Orkambi will be available to Liam and Grace by October.

Timber transition By Kath Gannaway The group of six saw millers known as 'the G6' have put forward a proposal to transition to plantation timber. In an open letter to premier Daniel Andrews on 21 August, the group say the Bridging the Gap plan will secure the future of the state's timber industry and end the uncertainty they have been campaigning against for the six months. The plan seeks to remove Victoria's reliance on native forests by transitioning to plantation timber supply by 2040 and immediately abolish clear-fell logging of native forests coups larger than 20 hectares. The plan has come out of what the group says is uncertainty following the government's purchase of the Heyfield sawmill in 2017 which they claim has had a devastating effect on timber supply to other sawmills. The plan urges the Government to remove Victoria's reliance on native forests by accelerating plantations as the primary source of timber supply. "According to the Victorian Auditor-General's Office, we have approximately 27,000 hectares of unproductive land which could be made available for timber plantations today," a G6 spokesperson said.

"Just last year the government committed $110 million in funding for plantations in the Latrobe Valley. As yet nothing has eventuated. The Government needs to find suitable land for timber plantations and put seedlings in the ground." In an eight-point plan it calls on investment to enable better use of available resources and minimise waste and in state-owned plantations, revegetation of unproductive public and private land, legislation around Timber Supply Agreements, re-skilling assistance, exit packages, adoption of Forest Stewardship Council standards to improve the industry's social license to operate, including a ban on the export of unprocessed saw-logs and measures around the industry's role in bushfire areas. Friends of Leadbeaters Possum president, Steve Meacher, cautiously welcomed the plan but said the true test would be in the detail. "We welcome the recognition that there is a need to transition to plantations, but 2040 is far too far away," he said. "It is an urgent need not just from a conservation point of view but from the sustainability of the timber industry at all. "If they carry on as they are, the timber supply that they rely on is going to run out long before 2040." Mr Meacher said the plan seems to ignore

the fact that there are plantations already in existence which if brought on line should supply adequate timber for most of what the industry is wanting much sooner than 2040. "We need to look at a much shorter time line if we're to support this as an industry, and if native forests are to survive," he said. The plan comes also as Greens spokesperson for forests, Senator Samantha Dunn, spoke in Parliament on 23 August calling for an end to the controversial Wood Pulp Agreement Act. "For over 80 years this archaic piece of legislation has guaranteed Victoria's forests are logged, woodchipped and turned into paper at the Maryvale Pulp Mill," she said. "With species on the brink of extinction, entire ecosystems heading toward collapse it's time to take action. "It's time to end the destructive and damaging Wood Pulp Agreement Act." The G6 says also it's time to start thinking about doing more with less, acknowledging that native timber is a diminishing resource. "Small sawmills like those owned and operated by the 'G6' have an important role in providing jobs, supporting local communities and responsibly managing the future of our precious timber resources. That's what the Plan is all about," their spokesperson said.

Culture exchange is blowin’ in the wind By Casey Neill Lilydale police hosted a belated NAIDOC celebration, inspired by three Indigenous teens. Senior Sergeant Kevin Barrie said Victoria Police partnered with Skillinvest to give three students from Healesville's Worawa Aboriginal College work experience to earn administration qualifications. National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week runs each July and celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Sen Sgt Barrie wanted to hold a ceremony during the week, but the planning took time and the event finally took place at Lilydale Police Station on Tuesday 21 August. Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place members performed a welcome to country and a smoking ceremony. They said the lightly-scented white smoke that billowed from gum leaves held in a halftree stump basket would cleanse the body. Among the ceremony participants were Worawa students Kyema, 15, and Rochelle, 17. Rochelle has been working at Mooroolbark Police Station in recent months, and Kyema at Lilydale. "I do a lot of paperwork, filing and mail," Kyema said. "I've learnt how to communicate in the workplace. "I've learnt about computer skills and data."

IN BRIEF Hunt for home invaders Police are appealing for information following a home invasion in Lilydale. They said two men entered the Mitchell Road property about 11.15pm on Monday 13 August. A confrontation with the occupants followed, but the intruders left empty-handed and no one was injured. Police said the men were seen in the area before and after the incident in a dark-coloured four-door sedan. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.

Drug and weapons charges Police allegedly uncovered weapons and drugs after intercepting a speeding car in Launching Place. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Unit Commander Sergeant David McIlfatrick said officers detected a vehicle speeding at 98 kilometres an hour on the Warburton Highway at 9.10am on Monday 20 August. He said they stopped the unregistered vehicle and the 30-year-old driver, a Berwick man, refused to accompany them for a drug test. Sgt McIlfatrick said police searched the vehicle and found methamphetamine, GHB, a knife, a round of ammunition and an ice pipe. They arrested the man and took him to Lilydale Police Station, where they charged him over the alleged offences. He was bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates' Court at a later date. "It is disappointing that we continue to see drug-impaired drivers using Yarra Ranges roads and having little regard for the safety of others," Sgt McIlfatrick said. "Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol members will make every effort to detect and prosecute these offenders."

Three-car collision closes highway

Police Aboriginal Liaison Officer Jason Cockatoo with Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place’s Chris Hume. She said the internship would earn her a certificate three in business. "Also to get to know more about what the police force does for the community," she said. "It's a different perspective." Kyema said the ceremony was "a bit special". "They're really recognising our culture," she said. "It's really nice and generous." Rochelle wants to become a police officer, like her uncle.

"There aren't many Aboriginal police," she said. "My grandfather is really proud of me for getting the traineeship at Mooroolbark. "I would be proud of myself of keeping the community safe. "I would enjoy protecting people." She's enjoyed the insight into police life the internship has afforded her. "I didn't know the police officers. All I thought of them as was really scary and tough," she said. "They're really friendly."

A three-car crash closed the Waburton Highway for an hour on Monday 20 August. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Acting Sergeant Graeme Rust said one driver had to be cut free from his car due to his injuries. He said the collision occurred about 7pm in heavy east-bound traffic. "Keep your eyes on the road," he said. "Be aware of your surroundings and drive to the conditions."

Intruder hit, charged A Warburton man used a metal bar to send an intruder running from his home. Police said a man smashed a window to get inside the St Johns Road house about 4am on Saturday 18 August. The occupant woke up, hit the intruder with a metal bar and called triple-zero. Police arrested a 19-year-old Croydon man and charged him over the break-in.

What would your final meal be? Lasagne and lots of it. What event, past or present or future would you like to witness? The reunion of Silverchair. I haven't seen them live so if they reunite I'll be the first to get tickets. What is your favourite television show?

We've got about 100 foster families with Animal Aid and my wife and I are just one of them. What are you working on right now? The redevelopment of our veterinary clinic. At the moment the clinic has some old infrastruc-

ture as it's in an old building, which is far from ideal. And it's actually in another separate entrance to the property. What we have is the Elizabeth Walker Centre, which is an admin building constructed in 2010 and is quite modern. So what we've decided to do is re-purpose that building as a vet clinic. What keeps your passion for animals alive? Just seeing the good work that the Animal Aid people do every day and the lengths they go to helping animals and people in need. Their passion drives my passion. Which object that you've lost do you wish you still had? My wedding ring. Its somewhere buried in the sand on Eastern Beach, in Geelong. I took the family down to Eastern Beach for the day and

Fiona sued By Casey Neill A Yarra Ranges Councillor is calling for reforms to protect residents from legal action after her own day in court. Fiona McAllister faced Ringwood Magistrates' Court on Thursday 23 August, and was fined $2000 and ordered to pay the council's costs of $3000. The magistrate declined to record a conviction. "I'm very glad it's resolved but it's been horrific and I hope we can change things so no one else has to go through what I went through," Cr McAllister said. The council's social and economic development director Ali Wastie said the court action followed complaints from neighbours about Cr McAllister removing protected vegetation and placing two shipping containers on her three acre Healesville property without planning permits. "Council wanted a conviction against me which could have cost me my registration as a psychologist," Cr McAllister said. She said the council should only push for a conviction in certain circumstances, and felt it was inappropriate in her case. "I was devastated by that. I was astounded and devastated," she said. Cr McAllister said the council charged her with 10 offences, but withdrew six. "They were forced to withdraw the charges partly on my representation, partly under pressure from the magistrate," Cr McAllister said. "The council ... wanted me to be fined between $25,000 and $35,000, and also to pay $17,000 for a vegetation offset." She said the council needed "to be really clear to people about what the options are for them".

"The issue I had wasn't the fine. It was what they were requiring in terms of offsets," she said. "It emerged only in the past couple of months that I could have paid the fine and dealt with the offset question separately at VCAT. "People should be advised of things like that upfront. "I get calls regularly from people who are so distressed because they're caught in a process that they don't understand. "They're being treated like criminals and they really don't know what to do." Cr McAllister also wants the council's tree removal laws to change "to reflect community expectations and common sense". "My husband's subcontractor accidentally removed two small trees ... while removing a number of dead trees," she said. She said the trees were each about 5 metres high and 150 millimetres in diameter. She said the council claimed five trees were removed but couldn't produce any credible evidence to that effect, and that removing dead trees did not require a planning permit. Ms Wastie said it was important to note that the action related to Cr McAllister as a private citizen and land owner, not as an elected council representative of council. "The laws contained within the Planning and Environment Act apply to all residents and land owners equally," she said. "The process undertaken with Ms McAllister is consistent with the process undertaken with all other residents and land owners who carry out this type of work without a permit."

The concept of the nation state and sovereignty for which the diggers of the Anzac fought and died are now considered retro, divisive and out of step with those who worship at the altar of globalism. To proudly fly the Aussie flag in one's front yard is thought to be a bit eccentric and definitely not progressive. I have faith that the cultural pride of patriotic Australians will prevail against the neoMarxists who push victimhood and oppression in place of gratitude and counting our blessings. When you see the hateful mob violence of Antifa for example, it makes the fight for freedom of speech and freedom of expression more important than ever. Stanley R Burgess, Healesville.

Students speak out By Kath Gannaway The days when children were told to be seen and not heard is long gone as students taking part in the 2018 Rotary Club of Healesville Primary Schools' Speech Contest demonstrated. Students from Woori Yallock, Yarra Glen, Dixons Creek, Healesville, Badger Creek and Don Valley schools competed in the contest run in conjunction with public speaking organisation Toastmasters. The contest was held in the Ion Whykes Auditorium at Healesville High School on 8 August. Presenting speeches on topics including "If I could change one thing in the worlds it would be", "Do animals really think or do we only thing they do", "Ipods are antisocial", "The best scientific invention ever" and "The superpower I would like to be is ...", the students astounded the audience with well-structured, informative and entertaining speeches addressing topical issues including gender equality, homelessness, social media and homophobia. Toastmaster Marlene Sinclair said the program delivered in the schools built confidence. "I know each student has put a lot of work

Moving From Will to Form Held in the body, flung through the air, or drawn from the soil. What if art is action made solid? From throwing liquid bronze to whistling for three days straight, the TarraWarra Biennial 2018: From Will to Form considers how the wild, intangible forces that animate behaviour might be present within an artwork. For the sixth TarraWarra Biennial, 23 artists and one artist group from across Australia will present anarchic and persistent energies in a range of sculpture, painting, performance and film works. For some, 'will' is drawn from a relationship to country and earth, for others it is located in the depths of the psyche, while other works highlight the role of the body as both a conduit or concealer of willful forces. These manifestations include 19 new commissions, performance events and works that refigure the spaces of TarraWarra itself, including Bidjara artist Dale Harding's site-specific wall painting on the renowned 45-metre Vista Walk wall as well as new work from Vicki Couzens, Claire Lambe, Michelle Ussher, Mike Parr and Rob McLeish among many others. Established in 2006 as a platform for identifying new contemporary and cutting-edge work, the TarraWarra Biennial has become a major forum for artistic expression in Australia. From Will to Form is accompanied by a range of performances, artist talks and a comprehensive catalogue, providing audiences with a variety of contemporary art experiences. Performances and talks will take place in the gallery during the weekend of 3 August and exhibitions will run until November.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… Winter wonder Frosty the snowman - or Olaf, to younger generations - made a surprise appearance on the Mount Evelyn roundabout last week. Readers took to our Facebook page to credit "Rooster" for the icy handiwork, which spread smiles to everyone who passed it. Several said they spotted someone taking snow from the back of their ute in the early hours of Wednesday 22 August. Others labelled the stunt the "best thing ever" and said whoever was responsible "brought people a lot of joy today".

Poppy plan progress In July, the Mail revealed the Emerald RSL plan to cover the town and Puffing Billy in 10,000 red poppies this Remembrance Day. On Thursday 23 August the tally topped 8000. People from across the state have knitted,

felted and crocheted the symbolic flowers for the project to mark 100 years since World War I came to an end. The Emerald post office and RSL are accepting poppy donations. Call Sue Farr on 0418 685 942 or email peter.maloney@emeraldrsl.com.au to get involved.

Pick my project The Mail has been inundated with worthy Yarra Ranges candidates for Pick My Project funding. There are dozens of local projects - so many that we can't offer each one a story, and don't want to bias the public vote process by picking just a few to showcase. Instead we'd like to invite project leaders to share details in comments on a post pinned to the top of our Facebook page. Voting is open until 5pm on Monday 17 September at pickmyproject.vic.gov.au.

Paramedics pranked Police confirmed reports that Ambulance Victoria attended a Healesville address on 11 August after a man falsely claimed he was suffering from a heart attack. "Police did not attend the address at the time but are investigating the matter," a spokeswoman said. "No one has been charged over the incident." The Mail understands there were other 'prank' calls made to triple-zero requesting ambulance attendance in Healesville and surrounds during the same week. "We had our house door broken down at the business address on Saturday as there was no one home," one reader told the Mail. "This is a massive waste of resources."

CIRE COMMUNITY OPEN EVENING

Opportunities lining up Cire Community School has already started to plan for 2019 and the students are keen and eager to help. With Assistant Principal Graham Broderick at the helm, students have been busy working towards the re-development of an existing depot to utilise as a workshop to run woodwork and metalwork classes. Students Dylan, Bailey, Liam and Lachlan have worked hard over the last few weeks to begin the clean-up to make this initiative a part of the school's hands-on learning approach - and in effect, another classroom. The school's philosophy is to "learn by doing", which gives students an opportunity to gain practical skills whilst making learning fun. The existing facility located at the Cire Community Workshop Centre in Yarra Junction has had many uses over the years. The school is thrilled to now be utilising this space again for students to learn basic woodwork and metalwork skills that could add to their future VCAL studies and lead to an apprenticeship. "We have enjoyed working towards the new workshop and cleaning up," Year 9 student Dylan said. "(It's) good to see some tools and equipment we could use ... can't wait to get into it." Cire Community School focuses on what a student can achieve in a supportive and encouraging environment removing barriers to education. Smaller classes, dedicated teachers, additional classroom support and external experiences provide opportunities for personal development, growth and enjoyment. Flexible learning opportunities at Cire Community School focus on the individual student, their wellbeing and makeup part of the students customised learning plan. For more information about Cire Community School, call 1300 835 235 or visit www.cire.org.au.

ENTERTAINMENT

Who Am I? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s find out By Kath Gannaway Russell Cheek's career as a live performer was punctuated in the 90s with a surprising leap to spectacular heights on night-time television. "Who Am I", the theatrical encapsulation of a remarkable career written and performed by Cheek himself , and directed by Stephen Abbott (aka The Sandman), will come to The Memo Healesville in a matinee performance on Friday, 7 September, and to Burrinja in Upwey on Saturday night, 8 September. Having studied theatre at the Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris, Cheek has performed in and directed plays in Australia and overseas, created and directed Circus Oz's 2003-5 worldtouring show and appeared in the films 'Young Einstein' and 'Reckless Kelly'. That's just a snapshot of a career that comes to life in 75-minutes of an hilarious, compelling story of the dedication, perseverance and grit that proved invaluable as he put his plan in place to extricate himself from actor-penury as a contestant on the Australian quiz show Sale of the Century. It was a calculated plan after The Castanet Club. Cheek was a core member of the Club which enjoyed 10 years national and international acclaim in the '80s but which he muses was possibly ahead of its time. "I always had a really good general knowledge, even when I was a kid, dad taught me to read way before school age, and I always had a thirst for knowledge," he says of his second quiz show experience. He'd won a television quiz show when he was in Year 11 and when The Castanet Club wound up, the time was right for a grown-up attempt at quizdom! "I wanted to buy a place to live and thought

Russell Cheek is revealing in "Who Am I". if I hit the jackpot at the right time I could maybe do that," he said Training himself to be quick on the buzzer, and going in with the theatrical approach of playing in the spirit of the game - taking a few chances and buying from the gift shop when the chance came up, he didn't hold back.

In the style of Agatha Christie's famous Mouse Trap, how all that ended up for Cheek is revealed in the show. He describes "Who Am I", as a 'friendly show" which is revealing of himself - the culmination of forces and experiences in his life. Others describe Cheek as a master narrator

Aguirre, The Wrath of God is a 1972 West German drama directed by Werner Herzog, and was screened by the Yarra Ranges Film Society at the Healesville Memorial Hall on August 21. Klaus Kinski stars as Lope de Aguirre, a Spanish conquistador in 1650 who joins a doomed mission down the Amazon River, in search of the fabled golden city El Dorado. Aguirre: The Wrath of God is a masterpiece of bleak atmosphere and subtle characterisation. In a mesmerising slow-burn, Aguirre, The Wrath of God depicts a surreal, arduous journey into oblivion, as greed, hunger and madness consume the conquistadors. The film has majestic cinematography and a sombre electronic score by German band Popol Vuh, and Herzog makes clever use of contrast and iro-

ny, juxtaposing the lush jungle and an Indian slave's merry flute-playing with the growing misery of the conquistadors. Kinski is a scowling, indomitable force of will as Aguirre, and it's grimly compelling to watch him manipulate the people around him toward his ends. Aguirre, The Wrath of God isn't for everyone, but it's an enthralling classic of world cinema for those whose tastes match its slow, subtle, grim wavelength. The Yarra Ranges Film Society screens a classic, arthouse or foreign film every month at the Warburton and Healesville cinemas. - Seth Lukas Hynes

TWO HOMES, 80 ACRES AND RIVER FRONTAGE

IT doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much better than this! This property has been in the same family for more than 30 years and now offers a lucky new family a magnificent place to farm and live. The fertile land, magic views, Don and Yarra river frontage plus two residences makes this property one of the best in the Yarra Valley. The land is about 80 acres in size and is currently set up for running cattle and the odd horse, with six extra-large fully-fenced paddocks. Further improvements include three dams, a small creek, and ample shedding for machinery, vehicles and hay storage. The main house sits up from the road and absorbs some beautiful mountain views from the verandah and large timber windows. The floorplan incorporates a neat and tidy kitchen with modern appliances, a meals area, large lounge with wood heating and four good sized bedrooms with built-in robes. The impressive main bathroom is complete with a claw foot bath and there is a second bathroom off the laundry.

There is also a bungalow/studio next to the house which would be perfect for teenagers or an office. The second home is a three-bedroom miner-style cottage with a double garage. This is a great opportunity for two families to live on the same property but each have their own home and privacy. There is plenty of space for the kids to run, fish or look out for the local platypus and pumping rights from the Don River are an added bonus. There is a wildlife reserve next door and other neighboring properties can hardly be seen, creating a great feeling of privacy and seclusion. This whole package is only minutes from public transport, the main hub of Yarra Junction and the local convenience store and hotel are just down the road. To make a time to inspect this glorious property, please call our offices. For more information, text 45DALRY to 0488 824 379. â&#x2014;?

Healesville 1.0.6. AFL Yarra Ranges Girls Grand Finals will be played out at Yarra Glen on Sunday 2 August with Olinda Ferny Creek White versus Belgrave in the Under-12s, Yarra Glen versus Worawa in the Under-14s and Seville versus Upwey Tecoma in the Under-16s.

At Warburton Golf Club's Wednesday 22 August event, Paul Kennedy was the clear winner with a meritorious +3. Good shooting PK. Andy McMath was runner-up on square. Balls got to -1. The daily nearest the pin winners were Mario DeVincentis on the ninth, KemptonSenior on the 15th and to Ossie-McClay on the 17th. On Saturday August 25 was Canadian 4somes. Under sunny skies and on a much more player-friendly course, Peter Fox and Sam Dennis won the day with a very impressive 67.250 (Nett). Scoring 68.125, Sean Kennedy and Happy Gilmore snared the runner-up prize. The ball rundown was not available to this scribe, unfortunately! Nearest the pin winners were Andy-Lockey on the third, Happy on the fifth, PK on the ninth, Peter Fox on the 12th and Geoff Fall on the 15th. The doubles title, called the Singer/Walker trophy, is the most sought-after paired prize at the club. This year's winners were Andrew Williams and Ian Kempton. Willo is a multiple title-holder, but Kempton Junior is a first-time winner, and on the plus side put him one win ahead of his old man. In a tightly-contested final, over 18 fascinating holes, Willo and Junior defeated Jason 'Kenno' Kennedy and Paul 'Mr-Wandin' Long. My mail tells me that the winners combined brilliantly together, but that Mr Long kept his team in the hunt with some longrange putts. Well done to all four members - just making the final is a praiseworthy achievement.

12392086-RC27-18

The first round of Yarra Ranges AFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand finals was played out in brilliant weather at Gembrook on Sunday. More than 2000 spectators gathered to see the culmination of the 2018 season with a further estimated 2000 people viewing the games on Valley Vision live stream - a first for junior football. Junior Operations Co-ordinator Andy Gibbons said there was a good representation across the league with 13 of the 15 clubs represented in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matches and next Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grand final round. In the Under-16s the undefeated Monbulk 7.9.51 won out over Wesburn 3.3.21. Under-14 Green saw Upwey 6.2.38 defeat Wandin 4.3.27. Upwey had also come through the home and away games undefeated but had to earn their place in the grand final after losing a final.

Ward takes out top prize

All schools go for a run

By John Wood

By Jamie Strudley This year's Australia All Schools Cross Country Championships was held at Maleny Golf Club in the Sunshine Coast hinterland on the weekend of 25 and 26 August. The conditions were near-perfect for the five Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes selected to compete for Victoria at the championships. A very tough course - tougher than any course seen before for a national championahip - greeted more than 2000 athletes from throughout Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. The course rose 24 metres in the last 600 metres, providing a very challenging finish to a championship race. First up was the Yarra Ranges trio of Under-14 girls who raced over 3000 metres. Maddie Laven ran a spectacular race, powering up the hill to finish in fourth place, only a few strides away from a medal. Kiara Flavel finished in 15th place and Indigo Linde 24th in a field of 80 athletes. Maddie and Kiara were part of the silver medal-winning Victoria team. The next race was the Under -18 boys, racing over 6km, two laps of the tough 3km circuit. Harry Norman was always close to the lead pack, eventually finishing in 16th place. Harry was rewarded with a team silver medal and some outstandingly-sunburned legs. Georgia Laven completed the action for YRA athletes, running a superb race to finish 23rd in the Under-18 girls 4km race. Georgia will line up in this age group next year but with many of the athletes who finished

Congratulations to all YRA athletes who competed at the Wonderland Trail races in Halls Gap, especially to Harrison Van Duuren for a convincing win in the 8km trail race, backing up the next day to help Mum through the tough 20km race. Attention now returns to AV XCR with round nine on Sunday 2 September at Burnley. The fastest half marathon in Victoria promises to attract big fields and provide opportunities for fast times and PBs. It's a great warm-up for anyone planning to do the Melbourne Marathon. Entries are open to members and nonmembers at athsvic.org.au. YRA little athletes await the start of the summer track and field season in late September. The club welcomes all athletes of any age or ability. Visit yarrarangesathletics.org.au.

A frosty morning followed by a clear sunny but cool day greeted the competitors for the Woods Point Gun Club’s King of the Mountain Championship (KOM). Members blew the cobwebs out of their guns with the traditional Eye Opener. Troy Grimes and Mick Ward shared the AA-Grade cash while Allan Kidd, Brendan Grimes and Shane Callahan did the same in A-Grade. Robert Lay and Tom Apps were respectively sole recipients of the B and C-Grade money. The first of the KOM championships was 20 targets single barrel, one shot only allowed. A heavy shadow over the left of the shooting range ensured that no one shot a perfect 20/20 but Mick Ward returned 19/20 to don the sash. Ward also won the AA-Grade prize, 19/20, with Rob Bevis second on 18/20. Ken Skinner’s 18/20 and Peter West’s 17/20 were enough to win A-Grade first and second. Chuck Lay scratched in B-Grade just ahead of John Wood while the C-Grade honours went to Ron Press, 18/20, Tom Apps 17/20. New members Justin Broderick, Jodie Stockdale and Damon Geary all shot well for their first competition at Woods Point scoring 16/20, 13/20 and 14/20 respectively. Next was the 25 targets double barrel points decision KOM championship. Ward again showed his skill with a perfect 75/75 points to take his second championship sash for the day and AA-Grade prize again. Junior shooter Troy Grimes took AA-Grade second, 68/75. Troy’s father Brendan won the A-Grade

Lay again won B-Grade, 64/75, from Wood 54/75. New shooter Damon Geary took C-Grade 64/75 while Mansfield Junior, Sam Bell, shot a good 61/75 to take C-Grade second. For the last event, 25 targets handicap KOM championship, the shadows cleared but we still didn’t get a perfect 25/25 score. Daniel Chinn and Shane Callahan managed 24/25 each to go into a shoot off for the sash, Callahan winning 30/32 to Chinn’s 29/32. The third and fourth prize places required a shoot-off between Allan Kidd, Troy Grimes, Chris Climas, Brendan Grimes, Damon Geary and Sam Bell, with Geary eventually taking third, 32/34 from Grimes’ 32/35. Mick Ward’s final total of 116/120 ensured that he won the KOM High Gun sash. Jodie Stockdale won the Encouragement Award. Nest shoot is the Maori Creek Championships and the Jodie Poile Memorial on Sunday 23 September at 10am.

TRIP - The magistrate By Kath Gannaway

Magistrate Tim Walsh. 184574 young fellow; he made this one mistake your honour ... great family, great upbringing , plays local footy , he's in the local youth group ... that's all well and good, but someone's dead ... sorry! You're going to jail; that's all there is to it." Having your vehicle impounded is another possible consequence under hoon legislation and, again, there are no apologies for following through with an order. "When it gets forfeited, the Commissioner of Police decides whether to sell it or crush it. I think you're welcome to come along and watch your car get crushed." The "why the tough attitude" came next in an audience participation exercise that had a touch of theatre about it, but shared a personal

Picture: Kath Gannaway. story of his younger days in a Gippsland town that informs the attitude. "Are there two young blokes here who are brothers?" he asks. "Stand up. You with the long hair can you stand up for me too because you remind me of someone I knew when I was a young bloke. "Just the oldest brother stand up, the youngest one sit down." It's a very personal approach, from the Magistrate's point of view, and from that of the young people who take on the personas of people, some of them friends, he knew and who died in road crashes in the 80s. It's a powerful tool, naming each person and attributing their life to the person sitting next to you, or behind you, or in front of you.

1187559-RC24-15

"A driver's licence is a privilege; it's not a right". That one sentence might have given the packed Heritage funeral home a hint of where Magistrate Tim Walsh was heading. "You break the rules, you no longer have a licence." Mr Walsh was speaking to the 500 or so people at the 2018 Teenage Road Information Program (TRIP), most of them young people, and was the first magistrate to speak in the five years it's been running. With a target audience of 16 to 25 yearolds, and their parents, TRIP is a combined response by Yarra Valley emergency services CFA, SES, Police and Ambulance to the tragic loss of young lives on Yarra Ranges' roads. Other speakers on 1 August were Paramedic Jason Callanan, Detective Sgt Mark Amos from the Major Collision Investigation Unit, Gruyere CFA volunteer and Group Officer Andrea Bigham, and Sally Millar, the mother of Charlie Robertson who died in a crash at Launching Place on 10 April, 2015. Mr Walsh admitted he was surprised at the numbers saying he was asked by the court registrar to do a talk at a country town and was thinking perhaps 50 people. "I think it's a credit to the organisers , but more importantly I think it's a credit to all the parents here and to all of you as a community that we have such a big turn out." He laid down the rules under the heading of a "few brief points about the attitude of myself and my colleagues", and addressed some misconceptions about the leniency drivers might expect if they come before the courts. "If you're young, had a couple too many, you might think 'I'll lose my licence for six months if I get caught' Myth dispelled. "No, no, no. What the law says is that I must take your licence off you for a minimum of six months," he says. "If you're going too fast, doing burnouts or something we'll start talking about 12, 18, 24 months." His attitude to pleas that loss of licence means loss of a job, is a blunt "tell someone who cares". He adds "And we'll get to why very shortly." He had some statistics around the more serious consequences of motor vehicle crashes which are dealt with in the County Court. In the last six years, for people aged 25 or less, he said there were 104 offences of culpable and dangerous driving causing death or serious injury, and dangerous or negligent driving while being pursued by police, resulting in 62 people sentenced to jail. "You kill someone in a car crash, you're drunk or speeding, you don't get six months, you're going to jail." He said as a barrister he had both prosecuted and defended in culpable driving cases. "No one wins, everyone is a loser. They are the most tragic cases," he says. "Yes, he's a good decent hard-working

Understandable, even 30 years later, he doesn't want the names of all those people put in print. But the characteristics of the people, and the circumstances of their deaths resonate in any community and certainly across Yarra Ranges. "He'd been riding motor bikes since he was a kid - a good rider, going hard around a bend, lost it - bang, dead." "You there with the grey top. Stay standing up." He's a talented young local footballer; would've played AFL. "I think he was 19; the best country footballer I've ever seen," the Magistrate says. He was a passenger in a car that went into a tree. The driver went to jail for three years. "You'll do", he says pointing out another young 'bloke'. He's got a catchy nickname, just like so many of the young people who have died on our roads. "He was at the hamburger shop. He was, as the old blokes say, full as a state school. He'd had too much to drink, jumped in his car, took off, came over the hill, hit a white post. Bang. He came through the windscreen. Dead. "You stand up." "You stand up." You stand up." Someone with red hair. Someone in a hoody. A blondie. All up 18 people are named. It's brutally personal, and that's just what road trauma is. Each story is punctuated by a deep sigh. Lastly, there's one of his closest mates. It's 1980, they were 19, played football together. He's got a name and a story too. They had a few drinks together at the races and parted with 'alright mate, see you at footy training Tuesday night'. Tim (not yet a Magistrate) and some others got a taxi home. "I walk in, my father's white as a sheet. My father's the local police inspector. Sit down I want to talk to you." "What's wrong?" And, as policemen do, he delivers the incomprehensible. His best mate is dead. Driving from the races and crashed his car. "My old man said 'why did you let him drive?'. "I said, 'we left; I didn't think he had his car there'. "He said 'did you ask him?' "I've never forgiven myself for that. "He was one of me best friends." Scanning the room he says "Yes I'm hard in court. There's a reason I'm hard in court ... there's all these reasons I'm hard in court." And, an appeal. "I hope this somehow gets the message across to you, because I'm sick and tired of taking people's licences off them, taking their cars off them ... and picking up the newspaper on Monday morning and here's another young bloke, like you, dead as a door knocker.
