A Lilydale CFA volunteer is leading a dog food donation drive to support drought-stricken farmers. "I saw a photo of a working dog and he was just skin and bones," Tanya Brock told the Mail. "If the farmers can't afford to feed themselves, they can't afford to feed their working dogs." So Ms Brock put out the word via email, Facebook and in person that she'd started the Dogs in Need project and was collecting bags of food. "The drought is ongoing so this project will be ongoing," she said. "It's one less thing they need to worry about." Lilydale Rotary president Ron Haines connected Ms Brock with Buchan CFA captain Peter White through his son, who lives in Chirnside Park. Mr White will co-ordinate the food's distribution in East Gippsland. He'll also hand over hand-knitted jumpers for baby lambs, which the Tudor Village ladies committee made. "They can be used to help baby lambs that have been born premature due to drought conditions," Mr Haines said. This latest aid effort followed Rotarians and Yarra Valley farmers sending 120 hay bales to drought-affected farmers in East Gippsland. The Mail reported on 21 August that the Rotary Club of Lilydale was sending 78 bales of hay to Bairnsdale plus $6000 in grain and fuel vouchers. Mr Haines said that with help from the Rotary Club of Healesville and Yarra Valley farmers, that number had grown to 120 bales. "The Rotary Club of Lilydale has also donated a further $6000 for grain and fuel vouchers, with several transport companies donating their trucks for transportation of the hay - this has been a huge saving," he said. The Rotary Club of Bairnsdale was co-ordinating the donations, which reached farmers in Orbost, Buchan, Marlo, Cabbage Tree and Orbost. Donors can drop off dog food to the Lilydale Fire Station at 300 Main Street, Lilydale, from 9am to noon on Sundays or 7pm to 9.30pm on Mondays. Call Mr Haines on 0412 252 344 for more information.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...
IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…
Covering the Dandenongs in the Yarra Ranges & Cardinia Shires
The editor’s desk It's a sad day when the thought of biting into a ripe, juicy strawberry invokes feelings of fear. Farmers fearing for their livelihoods is another heart-breaking consequence of a foolish and selfish decision. It's been less than two weeks since authorities first revealed that consumers had found sewing needles inside strawberries from Queensland stocked in supermarkets across the country on 13 September. It's been a tumultuous period for growers and shoppers alike. Copycats heightened the fear with isolated "pranks" on strawberries and other fruits, and false reports hampered police efforts to find the culprits. Local strawberry farmers met in the Yarra Valley to share their fears about the season ahead. Their fruit is ripe for the picking and due to hit supermarkets and greengrocers in coming weeks. But will anybody buy them? Will the supermarkets even stock them? Only time will tell. I wonder whether the "pranksters" considered the consequences of their actions - whether they intentionally set out to cause mass panic and cripple an industry, or a small-time lark (albeit a sick one) got out of control. Either way, our strawberry growers need to see light at the end of the tunnel. The public support for them spreading over social has surely been a good confidence boost and hopefully that support continues at the check-out. It will be interesting to see whether there'll be any long-term effects once the dust settles. Will we be cutting up fruit for fear of needles forever more? - Casey Neill

Linda House from Healesville took this snap at Maroondah Dam during stormy winter weather. "I was with my daughter Jasmin and we wanted a short, sharp bit of exercise. I noticed the amazing heavy rainy cloud hanging over the water as we were crossing the dam wall. It looked spectacular and atmospheric above a streak of blue sky. The waters below were whipped by the wind. It was cold and my daughter wanted to keep moving and not waste time taking photos, so I only managed to sneak in a few."

Homeless hotspots map By Derek Schlennstedt The Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) has released a homelessness heat map which has revealed the number of people sleeping rough in the Yarra Ranges. But charities fear the reality is worse than the figures. The interactive map, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data, breaks down the types of homelessness experienced in electorates across Victoria into sleeping rough; crisis accommodation; couch surfing; boarding house; and severely-crowded dwellings. The numbers, based on the latest Census figures, showed that that while many people did “sleep rough“ in Melbourne, those in the outer suburbs usually faced other, less visible, forms of homelessness. In the Evelyn electorate, 136 individuals identified as homeless, with 43 per cent of them
identified as living in crisis accommodation. Another 23.5 per cent were in severelycrowded dwellings and 20 percent were couch surfing. Only seven per cent identified as sleeping rough. The Monbulk electorate painted a similar picture, with 41 percent of homeless people couch surfing and 32 per cent in crowded dwellings. According to the statistics, 11 percent were sleeping rough. Yarra Ranges charity Holy Fools feeds and supports homeless people and CEO Neal Taylor said he was concerned that the situation was worse than the statistics showed. “I think it paints a broad stroke of what’s happening but I don’t think it’s incredibly accurate,” he said. “Even though the Census did its best to equip people, including myself, to help homeless peo-
ple to be counted and get their input into the census, there were still lots of people missed. “I think it’s a lot worse than that.” Mr Fools said he was unsurprised that more people were couch surfing than sleeping rough. “I suppose the ratio wasn’t very surprising we’ve already said that rough sleepers are not the primary groups out here,” he said. Homelessness support service Anchor's chief executive, Heidi Tucker, also spoke to the Mail about the situation in the Yarra Ranges. "For me, the overcrowding is just as alarming, as in those environments people are subject to assault, abuse," she said. “I think the numbers themselves, it doesn’t really show you the whole picture. “What we know about couch surfing is they can have a big fight with the people they are staying with and they’ll have to go down to the
Mooroolbark’s $4m winner A Mooroolbark woman's heart was still racing after a $4 million TattsLotto division one win. She told Tatts officials that she'd pay her children's mortgages with the $4,115,786.02 prize from the Saturday 22 September draw. "I was in bed and at about four o'clock in the morning," she said. "I heard a little tingle on the iPad and I thought 'oh that could be an email from TattsLotto with a win, I'll have to check in the morning'. "I forgot all about it until the afternoon. I opened the email and it said I had won but it did not tell me how much. "I looked up the winning numbers and I got my ticket out to check and tick, tick, tick - I had six numbers in a row! "I couldn't believe it. Then the heart started really racing." The mother and grandmother, who wished to stay anonymous, bought her 12-game QuickPick entry at Mooroolbark Lotto Centre. "I had been playing TattsLotto for ages with my husband and even after he passed away I kept playing our numbers," she said. "I'm fortunate that I own my own house and I am very comfortable, but my kids struggle and work really hard to pay their mortgages. "To be able to see their faces when I told them I will pay their mortgages for them - well, it put a smile on my face. "We are going to do a holiday as a family too! We will all go away together. "The kids even told me 'Mum, that's it, you are getting a new car. I don't care what you say, you need a new car' so I suppose I'll get one of those, too." Mooroolbark Lotto Centre owner Wendy Chen took over the shop three months ago. "And we've already sold two division one winning entries," she said.
oval and sleep there that night. “There are a lot of people circling in and out of homeless.” The Council to Homeless Persons released the map in the lead-up to State Election in November and is lobbying for a committment to 3000 new social housing properties per year for 10 years. The organisation’s policy manager Kate Colvin said half of the new properties must be one or two bedrooms to address the “critical shortage“ of homes for single people. Mr Taylor and Ms Tucker shared that sentiment, and said there was a clear need for crisis accommodation in the Yarra Ranges. “There’s virtually none,” Mr Taylor said. Ms Tucker said: “There’s certainly no refuge or crisis accommodation, so if we have people in the valley we generally have to use caravan parks or motels."

Ivory and rhino horn ban This week the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement released a report recommending a national ban on the sale of ivory and rhino horn - something I have been working towards since 2016. I congratulate the chair, Craig Kelly, for his magnificent work, Senator Lisa Singh for her great work and local resident Donalea Patman from For the Love of Wildlife. One elephant is killed every 15 minutes for its ivory and a rhino every eight hours for its horn. Experts predict both could be extinct in the wild within 10 years if the rate of poaching continues. In 2016 alone 35,000 were killed. Every several hours a rhino is killed and there are only 35,000 left in the world. Australia can play a key role in this.
From my
desk Jason Wood MP
Federal Member for La Trobe
How? We can take on the poachers. The poachers are making money from killing these noble, beautiful creatures. The nation of Australia could take the sophistication and value away from this activity by implementing a complete domestic ban on the trade of elephant ivory and rhino horn. This would do so much to send the message
across the world that Australia is doing its bit to protect elephants and rhinos. When you feel powerless and like there’s nothing you can do to create change, working with a local Member of Parliament can make real in-roads on issues you’re passionate about. That’s the advice from local resident, Ms Patman, founder of the wildlife charity For the Love of Wildlife, who teamed up with me to ensure Australia plays its role in saving some of Africa’s most iconic species from extinction. I have seen shocking footage of rhinos being killed for their horn and I was disgusted to hear we are still selling both horn and ivory in Australia. I’m thankful that Donalea raised this with me. She has raised enormous support from the
local community and we can ensure Australia plays its role in ending the poaching crisis by closing our trade. Patman first began working with me in 2014 to address the plight of Africa’s lions. Just 18 months later, Australia became the first country in the world to ban the import of lion trophies and body parts in response to the barbaric canned hunting industry - a practice where tame, hand-reared lions are shot in enclosed areas and many Australian volunteers and tourists are duped believing they are hand-rearing orphaned lions, but a supply chain for this unscrupulous industry. A ban on domestic trade will see Australia join a global response to help protect elephants and rhinos.

Sea of red to launch over-50s festival By Michael Doran Most over-50s will remember the Beatles song, Magical Mystery Tour, so it’s a fitting theme for the launch of this year’s Yarra Ranges Over Fifties Festival. “This year marks the 36th year we celebrate the contribution of our senior residents as the wise elders, active volunteers, carers, mentors, experienced employees and civic citizens” Yarra Ranges Mayor Len Cox said. “This month-long program offers a variety of community experiences offering wellbeing, cultural, creative, sporting, social and educational events.” The starting event is the Magical Mystery Afternoon Tea on Thursday 4 October, from 2pm to 4pm at Yering Meadows Golf Club. The $10 tickets can be bought at www.yarraranges/seniorsevent. Everyone is encouraged to wear something
red - whatever item it may be - with red being a symbol of the energy, celebration and enthusiasm the festival is promoting. “We appreciate and acknowledge the immeasurable benefit that the over-fifties contribute to our community,” Cr Cox said. There are many energetic seniors in the Yarra Valley and one such couple is Bryce and Anne Francis. These two are life-long friends who got together later in life, 32 years ago. “We still pinch ourselves about how lucky we are to have found each other and how good it has been to be together,” Ms Francis said. “It was destiny that we got to meet.” Despite a partial leg amputation four years ago, 91-year-old Mr Francis hits the gym three times a week, plays the organ, has written a book and a website on card game 500, and gets around on his motor scooter. Two other Yarra Ranges seniors still learn-
ing are Sue Clisby and Janet Turpie-Johnstone. Ms Clisby returned to study at age 50 to earn a diploma in arts management. She has now developed a program called Through My Eyes, which helps children, particularly those affected by trauma, to tell their story as part of a healing process. Ms Turpie-Johnstone, an indigenous elder, is helping to heal family violence and promote strong and resilient families. She is completing her PhD, comparing the indigenous knowing of the land and the colonial attitude of taming the land. Yarra Ranges Council produced a festival booklet with all the month’s activities and events laid out, which is available from the website. It also includes discount vouchers from 39 local businesses. “There are more businesses than ever before offering great discounts to our senior resi-
Bryce and Anne show activity is good for you. dents as an acknowledgement of the economic contribution you make,” Cr Cox said. In October there are more than 2000 activities across Victoria as part of the Victorian Seniors Festival and with free public transport available from 7 to 14 October, getting around is easy.

Strawberry simple By Michael Doran Strawberries are in the news for all the wrong reasons at the moment but there is a simple message from one of the Yarra Valley’s most experienced growers. “Buy them, wash them, cut them and eat them,” Victorian Strawberry Growers Association president John Calle said. At a growers meeting in Seville on Wednesday 19 September, State Opposition Leader Matthew Guy offered his support to Yarra Valley strawberry farmers and pledged a bi-partisan approach to the crisis facing the industry. “I intend to introduce a new offence in the Crimes Act, carrying a mandatory three-year minimum jail term for anyone caught contaminating your fruit," he said. "We will also support the current government in putting together assistance packages for the industry and give the communities of
the Yarra Valley a bi-partisan approach." Around 40 growers attended the crisis meeting and with their crop due to go to market next month their message was a simple one of “keep eating strawberries but dice them up”. Two local Liberal Party candidates, John Schurink for Monbulk and Bridget Vallence for Evelyn, were also at the meeting and offered their support to the growers. “The strawberry industry is a big part of our local economy, producing world-class fruit for both domestic and export markets,” Ms Vallence said. Mr Calle, from Wandin North, has been involved in Yarra Valley berries for more than 35 years. He said one of the problems was finding out where the contamination was happening in the supply chain. “It’s not just about the growers putting met-
al detectors in to fix it,” he said. “I don’t know what is going to happen with all this needle stuff and don’t want to give the publicity to the copy-cats out there.” Another Yarra Valley stalwart is Coldstream’s Sam Violi, who has been growing strawberries for almost four decades. “We are four to five weeks away from our season, so right now we are hoping the culprits are caught before then,” he said. “We will have sweet delicious strawberries in a few weeks. “It is worrying for the growers, particularly as many are small family concerns, who will have crops ready for picking soon but have this stuff hanging over their heads. “There is a lot of talk about bio-security and putting metal detectors in, but maybe that’s an issue at the store level, not the growers." Maroondah group officer Ken Reed with secretary Judith Coles and some of the items for sale. 185314 Picture: ROB CAREW
Station readies for grand sale The Mount Evelyn CFA is stocked with bargains galore. Donated household items will all be up for sale at the York Road station on Saturday 13 October. It's the brigade's major fund-raiser and they need all the support they can get. Eagle-eyed shoppers can browse through the collection from 7am to 3pm.
Crime’s on the decline around here Crime is down 7.8 per cent in the Yarra Ranges, according to latest figures. The Crime Statistics Agency on Thursday 20 September released the Victorian recorded crime statistics for the year ending 30 June. In the Yarra Ranges, the number of offences recorded during the 12 months dropped from 8538 to 7868, or by 7.8 per cent. There were 4968.7 offences recorded per 100,000 population, down from 5438.8 during the year prior. State-wide, the number of offences dropped by 4.9 per cent and the offence rate declined 7 per cent. Burglaries dropped 16.4 per cent and theft 8.5 per cent. In the Yarra Ranges, the decrease in burglaries was more than 26 per cent, and the drop in thefts was more than 17 per cent, from 2576 to 2120. Drug use and possession was down to 389 offences from 541 the previous year, a 28 per cent decrease. Property damage offences in the Yarra Ranges increased 15 per cent in the 12 months to 30 June compared to the year prior, against the Victoria-wide 4 per cent drop. But 794 recorded offences was still well below 913 in the year to 30 June 2016 and 1196 in 2009. In the Yarra Ranges, arson offences increased from 75 to 138, but there was a similar increase from 2015 (79) to 2016 (138).

Halloween in hills By Lindy Schneider and Derek Schlennstedt Goblins, ghouls and ghosts are invited to "show off their scary" at the second annual "Halloween on The Green" event in Ferny Creek on Saturday 27 October. Hosted by The Philanthropic Collective, a not-for-profit charitable association that supports schools and students to make the world a better and fairer place, the event is a spooky opportunity for the community to dress up in their scariest costumes and enjoy some ghastly fun together. The Collective, along with its many working partnerships, Community supporters and sponsors have been working all year to bring back the showcase of wondrous free activities. Event director Andrew Filip-Gautier said favourites like the dunking machine will return and that the Best Dressed competition will be offering prizes of $1000 for the winning couple and $500 for the winning child. Mr Filip-Gautier said that unlike last year, this year's Halloween on the Green will also focus on the historical significance of Halloween. "This year we have been blessed to have the talents of local make-up artist Melissa Ryan from Monbulk share her creative talents by transforming many of our local business identities, politician's and school principals as part of our advertising" said Mr Fillip-Gautier. "Our focus has also been on providing some of the rich history of Halloween through various religions and cultures, from all Saints day to the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead." A highlight this year will be the age appropriate 9D mobile cinema that combines a 3D movie with motion seats and special effects that simulate actions in the movie. The day will include a range of free children's activities, live bands, storytelling, carni-

Event director, Andrew Filip-Gautier and Yarra Ranges Council Mayor, Len Cox dressing up for Halloween on the Green val and pony rides, and stilt walkers. Children are invited to participate in a Trick or Treat Trail and there will be a range of food vendors and stalls on site. Organisers of the event have been encouraged by the community's reaction to last year's event as it meets the need for "a safe option for trick or treating" and is a way of developing a uniquely Australian version of Halloween.
Halloween on the Green will be held at the Ferny Creek Reserve on 27 October. Entry is $6 per person, though Children under 3-years-old are free. Funds raised on the day will be donated to several schools in the area. For more information and tickets www.halloweenonthegreen.com.au or stay up to date on Facebook.
The Belgrave and District Kennel Club held its 50th anniversary All Breeds Championship Show on Saturday 15 September. Close to 1000 pure-bred dogs and their owners attended the event at the State Dog Centre in Skye and enjoyed a great day, despite the inclement spring weather. Belgrave and District Kennel Club president Katherine Whiteley said that unique 50th anniversary prizes were made for the milestone. “For our special 50th anniversary show we had a special commemoration cake, rosettes, and commemorative prizes to give to all our winners,” she said. “We went to a lot of effort to provide a bit more for them than usual to recognise the anniversary.” The event also helped raise funds for the Belgrave Fire Brigade. The Belgrave and District Kennel Club, a Dogs Victoria affiliate, has a long association with the brigade, donating funds from its show every year since the 1970s to support the crew and recognise the important work it does to protect the Dandenong Ranges community.

Burn while you can The burn-off window is closing at the fire season looms. CFA chief officer Steve Warrington highlighted the need to prepare properties ahead of an earlier, longer and, in some parts, more severe fire season than normal. "Across the state, we are witnessing low levels of rainfall and a build-up of fuel loads on the ground," he said. "These are conditions that could lead to a bad fire season. "The best way to defend your homes is to prepare before the fire danger period begins. "This includes cleaning up your gardens, your gutters and removing flammable waste from your yards. "Many property owners dispose of this waste with a burn-off, but consider alternative methods such as mulching, chipping or taking green waste to a transfer station."
Mr Warrington said residents who wished to conduct burn-offs on their private properties needed to follow some basic rules. "Check weather conditions, monitor the wind, and follow local council laws and regulations," he said. "Before lighting up, register your burn-off." Mr Warrington advised leaving a three metre fire break around the fire, free from flammable materials, and also highlighted the importance of communication. "It is important that as well as registering your burn-offs, you notify your neighbours that they may see smoke," he said. "False alarms take CFA crews away from real emergencies, can increase the risk to the community and can be very frustrating for our crews, many of whom are volunteers. "By registering your burn-off, any reports of smoke or fire will be cross-checked with
the burn-off register to avoid unnecessary response of fire services." Landowners can register their burn-off with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) by calling 1800 668 511 or emailing burnoffs@esta.vic.gov.au. "When conducting burn-offs, remain alert and always have resources on hand to extinguish the fire," Mr Warrington said. "Check the weather, winds must be light and temperatures low. "Make sure you have sufficient water on hand at all times and fully extinguish the burn once completed. "Escaped burn-offs or those not conducted properly will result in you being liable for the consequences."
Arthritis can strike anybody at any age
The Victorian Greens have announced Amy Gregorovich as their candidate for Gembrook.
By Derek Schlennstedt

While most Australians might know an older adult living with osteoarthritis, many might not know that arthritis can strike at any age even in childhood. For Emerald resident Naomi Creek that’s exactly what happened. At 12-years-old she woke up to find she couldn’t stand. “I had had a number of sore joints for a few years before that,” she said. “It was unusual for me to have problems with my joints because I was really active and flexible and did lots of sport. “Initially the doctor though it was growing pains...it would come and go but started getting more frequent, and one day I pretty much couldn’t get out bed and couldn’t stand up.” That’s when she knew something was seriously wrong, and after a week in hospital and numerous tests, Naomi, now 48, was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). She has since become national co-ordinator of CreakyJoints Australia, an organisation and go-to source for Australian arthritis patients and their families who are seeking education, support, advocacy and patient-centred research. According to statistics released form CreakyJoints Australia, JRA affects about 1-2 per cent of the population, or about 450,000 Australians. Ahead of World Arthritis Day on 12 October, Naomi urged others to see their doctor if they experienced the main symptoms of inflammatory arthritis. “There are about five general ones,” she said. “Stiffness of joints, inflammation and tenderness at the joint, and pretty much fatigue
Greens pick uni student as Gembrook candidate By Kyra Gillespie
Emerald resident Naomi Creek was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age 12 and in the lead-up to World Arthritis Day is reminding people that it can strike at any age and to look out for the symptoms. - a lot of people get that. “The inflammation process really impacts a lot of the body's power and can create extreme fatigue.” She said that early diagnosis was crucial in helping to reduce the deterioration of joints later in life. “It’s vital that Australians - even young, healthy, and active ones - act swiftly if they show prolonged symptoms of these diseases," she said.
“Today, it’s rare for anyone to have undergone double knee and hip replacements by the age of 25, as I did. “Most people diagnosed with JRA today will not need to fear that outcome because advanced treatments, such as biologics, can manage arthritis symptoms and reduce the risk for permanent joint damage and disability if the disease is caught and treated early.“ To find out more about World Arthritis Day visit creakyjoints.org.
A course for confidence and leadership By Michael Doran Women with Disabilities Victoria is running a free six-day leadership program for young women with disabilities in Montrose and calling for applications. Two Yarra Ranges women, Lucy Ryan and Megan Dunne Risley, took part in the program earlier this year. Ms Ryan, who lives with multiple sclerosis, was unable to continue working and wanted to build her confidence to help with volunteering activities. “I volunteer for the MS Society and the CFA, which requires me to get out and ask people for money and I felt quite out of my comfort zone in doing that,” she said. “My friend recommended I do the course and it’s helped me get my confidence back.” Ms Dunne Risely has struggled with being social, so it was the chance to learn new skills and be part of a social group that motivated her to do the program. “When I was growing up and talking to new people and starting a conversation, I wouldn’t know what to say," she said. mailcommunity.com.au
"I was shy and cautious of who I mixed with. "Since finishing the course I have done a total 180." Both Ms Ryan and Ms Dunne Risely have emerged from the program with increased confidence, new skills and the energy to want to change the lives of other young women with disabilities. “The program was very well structured and put together in such a caring way," Ms Ryan said. "I’m sharing more on Facebook to advocate for people with disabilities to access services like transport. It’s a big issue. Ms Dunne Risely wants to get involved in events and sharing ideas about what kind changes needed to provide more opportunities for people with a disability. “It’s important that we voice our opinions and be more outspoken,” she said. WDV's community inclusion and women's empowerment program manager, Nadia Mattiazzo, said the program was successful because it was tailored to what the participants wanted to achieve.
“We only have 12 in the group because we don’t want it to be too daunting and we want to bring each person along at their own pace," she said. “We accept them, we then write the program around them and give them time to take it all in. “These young women face all the usual barriers in life but living with a disability just adds a whole new layer. "They often experience isolation and to see them graduate and speak about their growth is a very emotional time." The program, supported by the Yarra Ranges and Knox councils and other community organisations, is open to women aged 15 to 25 with a disability who live, study, work or spend time in Knox or the Yarra Ranges. An information session will be held from 4pm to 5pm on Wednesday 3 October at Montrose Town Centre. Registration is via Bridget Jolly at WDV on bridget.jolley@wdv.org.au or 9286 7813.
A university student currently earning her undergraduate degree has been announced as the Greens candidate for Gembrook in the upcoming state election. Amy Gregorovich studies Arts and Science at Monash University, majoring in Environmental Science and Human Geography, with a specialisation in ecology and conservation. Through her passion for the environment, the Pakenham local believes she has what it takes to take to Spring Street as an official Member of Parliament. "I'm a passionate advocate for protecting our natural environments, biodiversity and allowing our community to enjoy everything that nature has to offer," Amy said. "Throughout training as a scientist, it's become clear as time progresses that community engagement in decision making is very important." The young political hopeful works at the Pakenham library and has recently taken part in the Cardinia Shire Youth Council Program. "As the Greens candidate for Gembrook, an electorate experiencing rapid growth, I will be campaigning on issues that matter to our local community - that for too long have been ignored by the major parties. "Major parties are putting what we love about Victoria under pressure: our transport is congested, housing is unaffordable, energy prices are skyrocketing, and our environment is suffering. "Greens have a plan to put the public first and make our communities more liveable, by investing in world-class public transport, clean renewable energy, affordable housing and bringing public assets back into public hands. "It's time for an MP who puts our community first, not the big end of town." Greens Lead Candidate for Eastern Victoria Tom Cummings said his "thrilled" to be joined by Amy Gregorovich in the upcoming state election. "I am thrilled to be joined by Amy Gregorovich as our candidate for Gembrook in this year's state election," Mr Cummings said. "Eastern Victoria has been ignored by the old parties for far too long; we need people like Amy who can stand up for what really matters, and who are focused on a better, cleaner, healthier future for us all."

SHEDFEST 2018
Sheds and cellar doors The continual growth and success of the annual Shedfest event has led to its expansion across the entire Yarra Valley. The participating wineries stretch along the Maroondah Highway to Healesville and the Melba Highway to Yarra Glen. YVWA president Daniel Tokar said the event had established itself as an integral destination event for the industry. “We are a supportive network of boutique wineries that produce some of Victoria’s finest wines,” he said. “Shedfest is a great way to explore a number of our cellar offerings, discover unique releases, prepare for Christmas with cellar door savings and enjoy spring at its finest.”
Mr Tokar also said that as an organisation, YVSWA had raised more than $70,000 for community groups including local CFA and SES projects. Visitors can design their day by winery or by food offerings across 12 wineries. Entry to the Yarra Valley Shedfest Wine Festival is $15 and includes a souvenir glass for tastings at all the participating wineries, with additional options for food packages and bottle combinations. Some of the proceeds from the sale of the glass will go to a local community group. For more information regarding travel options, a map of the event and participating wineries, visit www.shedfest.com.au.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN
Strap in for a wild ride
Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is a destination for the whole family. The circuit also has a variety of animals which roam the course, and guests should be sure to keep an eye out for the beautiful peacocks wandering around the tranquil watered gardens. Adrenalin junkies can embark on three heart stopping hot-laps in a race prepared vehicle. The circuit’s resident race car driver will take g-force hugging turns that defy gravity. There’s no better time than spring to visit the circuit with nothing but blue bird days expected.
By Derek Schlennstedt With more than 100 animals, from lions, monkeys and alligators, to kangaroos, wallabies and wombats, there is plenty for animal-lovers to enjoy at Mansfield Zoo. Visitors can have fun meeting the animals or even camp overnight if they dare. The zoo features a large menagerie of animals from across Australia and around the world, including two rare white lions, two tawny lions, monkeys (capuchins, marmosets, rhesus and bonnet), deer, camels, bison, alligator, wombats and much more. The zoo keeper feeding tour is a great time to see the majestic animals and the four lions are fed at 1.30pm each weekend and Victorian holiday, followed by feeding of the meerkat mob. Guests can also feed animals by hand while they wander the expansive grounds with sambar, fallow deer and kangaroos roaming alongside them, along with guinea fowl and peacocks. A small spade is provided to feed the more gregarious animals, like the camels, who will run off with it if they can. Visitors can bring a picnic lunch or use the free barbeques and spend a day relaxing. For the more adventurous, there’s nothing like trying to sleep to the sound of a lion’s roar. Overnight campers are welcome from 1 September to 31 May each season, but need to book a spot. They can bring their own gear and set up for a camping trip with a difference and take the opportunity to roam the zoo after-hours. The Mansfield Zoo is open every day except Christmas Day from 10am to 6pm (10pm on New Year’s Eve).
At Mansfield Zoo you can feed the cute Meerkat Mob all year round.

Whether it’s getting a taste for some high octane racing or spending a day out with the family, the Philip Island Grand Prix Circuit is filled with activities to suit everyone. The circuit plays host to a range of fast-fuelled vehicles that have plenty of power and in between the big international events, there is still plenty to offer. With a go kart track that is more than 750 metres long and is based on the replica of the 4.445km world-famous Phillip Island circuit, guests can replicate races between mates and push out a series of hot laps to set the fastest time. Best of all there are karts for the little ones, and new matching tandem karts have been equipped with duel controls so the kids don’t miss out and can participate in the full interactive karting experience. The circuit is steeped in a long and rich history and is famous as Australia’s only Moto GP track. Recently the circuit secured a private collection of 24 grand prix-winning motorcycles from the famous Italian marques, Aprilia and Cagiva. The two-wheeled treasures are permanently installed as the star exhibit in the History of Motorsport Display at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit Visitor Centre. With slot cars and racing simulators, there are also plenty of inside activities to do should an icy wind blow in from Bass Strait.

RARE CHANCE FOR FERNHILL VISITORS can meander up the sealed driveway through the imposing electric gated entrance, lined by a stunning rock wall and natural rainforest, to the extensive car accommodation and shedding. Just a hint of the Tudor-styled residence that sits predominantly on the mountain side above can be seen. Loved by the one family for 60 years, this is a rare opportunity to purchase this exceptional hills property offering the most incredible architectural splendour adorned with timber embellishments and craftsmanship that will capture hearts and transport buyers to another world. The striking framework accentuates the formidable roofline and turret of this entertainer’s residence, providing a statement in design and a lasting impression, resonating with friends and family who have visited over the years. Internally, captivating oregon trusses and beams in the lounging room are prominent with an exceptionally fitted bar that forms the talking point of many a gathering. The classic kitchen is elevated and adorned in fiddle back redgum handcrafted timber cabinetry, fitted with quality appliances, perfect for the chef of the family. Solid arched doors connect an intriguing floor plan off a central sitting area to an amazing formal dining room with stunning bay window, while panelling guides the eye to the guest bedroom, then into the leadlight stairwell showcasing a solid blackwood staircase, wood-turned balustrade and newels.
This leads to the master suite, grand in proportions and unique in design. A central void frames a handmade timber lantern while diamond leadlight windows allow nature to be appreciated. A full ensuite, double vanity and spa plus robes aplenty complete the opulent decor and a retreat or possible third bedroom sits adjacent. Every room offers individual detailing and character. Situated on more than 3 acres of land, privacy is assured. Externally, buggy-width pathways pass a bluestone cellar, while a waterwheel encourages water to flow down the garden to ponds and a calming waterfall through the front garden…and also runs the spit! A Tudor barn provides a large work area and storage, with studio, teenager's retreat or fourth bedroom in the loft. The track continues to guide up past more than 600 camellias providing foliage for florists, and trees - 20 chestnut, 10 walnut, six macadamia nut, four hazelnut, three oak truffle, 18 fig and eight maya lemon, for income options. Bedrock is an entertainer’s oasis under a pergola of entangled kiwi fruit vines, the ultimate picnic area to escape and totally relax. Views across the chestnut grove to Kallista and Sherbrook are simply surreal. The timeless elegance and imposing Tudor influences prevail in every structure on this unique property, fondly named Fernhill. ●

RILEY’S A REAL WINNER - IT’S OFFICIAL AS soon as Riley Nicholas entered the real estate industry, people were impressed not only by his confidence and excellent communication, but his exemplary customer service standards. Riley was granted the title of senior sales consultant/auctioneer after winning the Ron Hudson Rising Star of the Year award at the Barry Plant Emerald Awards Night held on 13 September, a true testament to his hard work, passion and enthusiasm. Nominees must have started in sales with the Barry Plant Group between 1 January 2017 and 1 January this year, and served at least six months but no more than 18 months up to 30 June. They could have no more than 12 months’ real estate experience prior to joining the group, but may have worked as a PA for longer period. The winner is based on submissions received from franchisees. Sales results are considered a major factor for judging this award, but the criteria also included commitment to quality customer service; initiative and innovation; continuous improvement; career and professional goals and objectives; and client testimonials. Riley won against five other finalists. Justin Barrot mentored Riley when he started at the Barry Plant Emerald office. He won the same award many years ago and has gone on to be one of the consistently top performing sales agents in the Barry Plant group. Riley has been a real estate agent in his own right for just over 12 months, during which time he has also qualified as an auctioneer.

ENTERTAINMENT
Kav keeping it real By Casey Neill Kav Temperley is "stepping out of the shadow of this thing that is Eskimo Joe" and touring his debut solo album. The singer-songwriter and front-man will release All Your Devotion on 28 September will bring it to Belgrave on Friday 12 October. "I'm used to having a band behind me and then having my bandmates," he said. "We have a chemistry on-stage and it's less nerve-wracking." He said a full band wasn't really the right vibe for the new tracks. "With an acoustic guitar it just feels right," he said. "It's quite a raw thing to do. "It allows me to tell the stories behind the songs." Kav has always written songs autobiographically, then work-shopped them with the band. "It becomes a little bit less personal, even though it starts at a very personal place," he said. This time around, he'd stepped away from the Eskis for a breather and his marriage had broken down. "I kind of stepped out into the world and all these defining parts of myself didn't exist anymore," he said. "I ended up meeting the love of my life and she became my creative partner in all of this." He started writing "straight-forward songs about love and seduction". "That was part of the process of putting myself back together," he said. "This was the real place I needed to write from. "I didn't think about the fact I had to present this to the rest of the world."
Kav Temperley is hitting the road solo. He's been playing Parlour shows in the lead-up to the tour and album release. "They're like really well-organised house concerts," he said. When he hits the road, he'll be asking audiences what they want to hear. "I will play brand new songs that people may have only just heard," he said. "But the other thing is: I'm there for everyone's listening pleasure. "I'll probably do way stripped back really mellow versions of Eskimo Joe songs." He played his solo songs to Eskimo Joe band mates Stuart MacLeod and Joel Quartermain before anyone else. "They were really great and really sup-
portive," he said. "I think they felt invested because they were the first guys to hear it." During the writing and recording process he was listening to music with "really gentle, mellow sounds" like Neil Young's Harvest and Lou Reed's Transformer. He aimed for an early-70s singer song-writer sound, "but it feels like it was put out yesterday". "The most amazing thing about music is there's songs that came out yesterday that you can be inspired by and discover for the first time, and there's song from 40 years ago you can discover for the first time," he said. Kav recorded most of the album himself in his "little jam room in Fremantle" with additions from a few friends who stopped by for a glass of wine. "Sometimes I had really particular visions for sounds and melodies," he said. "Sometimes I just played around with it to see what happened." He worked with two producers to bed down the final sound, John Castle and Pip Norman. "When you go to make a solo record for the first time it's like being a kid in a candy store you just want to hit all the flavours," he said. "I found my favourite flavours and stuck with them. "Pip was quite particular. John would chuck things down really fast. "That created these different dimensions. "When we sewed it altogether it sounded like one cohesive record, which was lucky." Kav will play Sooki Lounge in Belgrave on Friday 12 October. Tickets are available from www.kavtemperley. com.au, www.oztix.com.au or 1300 762 545.
Entertaining, simple plan A Simple Favour Starring Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively and Henry Golding Rated M A Simple Favour is a darkly funny psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig and based on the novel by Darcey Bell. Single mother and vlogger Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) launches an investigation into the disappearance of her best friend Emily (Blake Lively). A Simple Favour begins with an odd-couple friendship, but quickly develops into a compelling, twisted mystery narrative with outstanding character development. Kendrick and Lively have extraordinary chemistry, and the film's opening act derives endearingly awkward humour from how different their characters are: Stephanie is lively yet meek, and Emily is brash and confident. The film smoothly establishes Emily's identity and relationships, then proceeds to subvert this foundation in cunning ways. It's satisfying to watch Stephanie's investigation embolden her, making her much more confident and decisive as she navigates damning secrets from Emily's past. Through a series of shocking, well-paced revelations, the film consistently challenges our assumptions about Emily and her life, and culminates in a riveting battle of wits. Teeming with dark wit and driven by powerful performances and an ingenious mystery plot, A Simple Favour is one of the year's best thrillers. - By Seth Lukas Hynes

Eagles soar to a victory AFL YARRA RANGES Football DIVISION 1 SENIORS Preliminary final Woori Yallock 18.10.118 d Healesville 14.14.98 Woori Yallock will take on Wandin in the Division 1 Grand Final on Friday 28 September. Woori Yallock started fiercely, kicking 7.5 to 1.1 in the first. They had a six goal to four second quarter to be in the lead by 52 points at half time. Healesville regrouped in the third and won it by 10 points to reduce the margin to 24 points at the last change. Healesville also won the last quarter, but needed to be accurate in front of goal. They kicked themselves out of it with 4.5. Woori Yallock best: C. French, R. Allen, J. Matthews (4 goals), R. Monkhorst, S. Kennedy, M. Lowe. Healesville best: N. Mende, A. Fraraccio, J. Roe-Duggan (4 goals), L. Barclay, D. Anderson (2 goals), S. Donkin. DIVISION 1 RESERVES Preliminary final Mount Evelyn 8.14.62 d Upwey Tecoma 8.3.51 Mount Evelyn will take on Olinda Ferny Creek in the Grand Final. Mount Evelyn best: R. Fooks (1 goal), B.

DIVISION 2 SENIORS Grand final Yarra Junction 20.17.137 d Seville 6.5.41 Seville finished minor premiers but Yarra Junction beat the side two weeks ago. These two had never met in a Grand Final. Seville's last second division premiership was in 1995 when they beat Kinglake, and Yarra Junction won their last title in 1990 when they beat Belgrave. Since 1990, Seville has been runners-up three times and Yarra Junction four. Some punters tipped Yarra Junction, but most would have tipped Seville. It was apparent that the better-rested team was going to prevail. Yarra Junction got off to a blinder in the first, kicking 5.5 to 3.1. Tyson Wheeler was a handful for Seville. The Eagles sapped all the energy from Seville in the second, piling on 6.5 to 1.2 to have a 49-point lead at the major break. Seville looked stunned and completely outclassed. The third quarter was quiet in comparison. The Eagles had full control and were heading for home with a very handy 59-point lead. Yarra Junction started the party early in the last and kicked 7.2 to 1.1 - more than Seville had scored all day. Yarra Junction broke a 28-year drought with the win. Yarra Junction best: T. Armstrong (Best on Ground Medallist), J. Holmes (1 goal), C. Hoare (1 goal), T. Wheeler (5 goals), M. Sword, K. Robb (2 goals). DIVISION 2 RESERVES Grand final Seville 13.8.86 d Gembrook Cockatoo 4.5.29 Seville best: J. Young (Best on Ground Medallist and 3 goals), C. Trainor (1 goal), K. Mullett, J. Strachan, R. Djohan.

NETBALL DIVISION 1 A-GRADE Preliminary final Olinda Ferny Creek 55 d Woori Yallock 47 Olinda Ferny Creek will go for back-to-back flags next week after coming from behind to get the win over Woori Yallock. Woori Yallock got the early lead by two goals. It was 13 goals each in the second and no one gave an inch. Olinda Ferny Creek got some much-needed turnovers to take the lead by one goal at the last change. They managed to get control of the game in the last. Olinda Ferny Creek best: K. Tomlinson, P. Stewart (47 goals), B. Smith. Woori Yallock best: E. Allwell, A. Newham, A. Stranger. B-GRADE Preliminary final Woori Yallock 46 d Olinda Ferny Creek 45 Woori Yallock best: H. Summers (37 goals), K.

Brooker looks back Matt O’Neil is a Brooker, through and through. He’s seen the highs and lows of the Gembrook Football Netball Club over the journey, having played well over 350 games in its iconic green strip. He spoke to RUSSELL BENNETT about his career in footy over a beer or two. Russell Bennett: When did you first get involved with the footy club, Matty, and how? Matt O’Neil: We moved to Cockatoo from Brighton the year before Ash Wednesday and I went to the primary school and wanted to play footy somewhere. All the Cockatoo boys played at Gembrook, so that was it. That was my first year, and I never looked back from that. Mum used to take me back in those days - Dad was always busy working and supporting the family. Mum would drive my mates and I up to footy training and she was team manager and played a huge role initially in my footy development. RB: What is it about the club that just makes people gravitate towards it? I know everyone says their club is special, but there’s something about the Brookers that’s different ... MO: You recruit players over the years and try to get them to stick around but I think the guys at Gembrook really do tend to stay - they don’t just play one or two years. They play five, six or seven and it becomes their home club. In the ‘90s it was a real blokes club - drinking froffies mainly - and probably when Steve Goodie came along he changed the perception of the culture and there was a massive push to be a real family club. If you’re not doing that as a club, you’re not a great choice for guys with families. RB: You’ve played 370-odd games at Gembrook. It’s been a hell of a ride there ... MO: Well I had one year at Beaconsfield too. After we won the flag (at Gembrook) in 2000 and I was captain of the club I wanted to get away from the club for a little bit because I knew I wanted to get into coaching at Gembrook. I made the choice to go to Beaconsfield where
Blacky (Scott Black) was playing. I did the whole pre-season and started playing in the ones but I got a job that took me overseas to Malaysia and I was flying in and out of the country so it didn’t pan out. I’d land back in Melbourne on the Saturday morning and go straight to the game and play and it just couldn’t work at that level of footy. I decided to head back to Gembrook mid-season and play out the year there. Beaconsfield won the flag, so I probably missed out on one. RB: What sort of an impact have Michael Firrito and Tarkyn Lockyer had on this Gembrook group? MO: Tarks has been super for the club. Between him and Spud (Firrito) they’re both just great blokes. Tarks has trained quite a few times and he’ll get up there at 5pm and put his gear on and go out with the under-14 girls and have a run around. Then he’ll go and do a bit with the 16s and 18s, and then train with the seniors. For what he puts in around the club, it’s just an honour to have him there and to learn from him. He’s talking about next year, so if we can keep him next year as well it’ll be fantastic. When it comes to ‘Spud’ - I’d always had contact with Mick. If he had a bad run of form and got dropped (from the Kangaroos) I’d always flick him a message just to support him, and if I saw him at a function we’d have a beer, but he’s just a genuinely good bloke and he loves the club. He’s there for the right reasons too, where a lot of blokes are at clubs for the money. Just to see him at training and the way he does things, he talks to every player on the list - there’s no stigma of him being an ex-AFL player at all. That’s what makes him such a good bloke.
Matt O'Neil shortly after playing his 350th senior game for his beloved Brookers. RB: Looking ahead to next year in the new competition - you won’t be coach of the Brookers? MO: I’m going to step down - I just think the timing
is right. I’m not saying I’ll never do it again though - I won’t close the door. I’ll still be involved though in a footy manager’s role or something like that around the club. I love it there.

Toolangi rally run and won By Michael Doran The Rally Championship and the Victorian Club Rally Series were held in the Toolangi forest on Sunday 16 September. The predicted rain and heavy weather held off to give a great day of racing for the 79 starters and spectators alike. “The course was a bit wet in the morning but it dried out for the afternoon run and we recorded some good times," event director Craig Jarvie said. "All aspects of the event ran smoothly and we had hundreds of spectators around the course so it was a good day for all." In the championship section, overall winners were Arron Windus and Daniel Brkic in a Subaru WRX STi, a car borrowed from New South Wales for the event and driven by the pair for the first time.
In the two-wheel drive category, Brendan Reeves and Ben Searcy took the chequered flag, driving Jarvie's Holden Commodore. “Looking at the Victorian Championship Series leaderboard, Matt Lee has certainly increased his chances by finishing third on Sunday," Jarvie said. "Another great drive was in the Hyundai Excel class with 17-year-old Josh Born taking the prize, an excellent effort against a field of experienced rally drivers." Aiden Peart and Stuart Armstrong took out the club rally series in their Datsun 260Z. “The Toolangi Forest course proved a good test for the racers, everybody enjoyed the day and it was great to see how many spectators came out,” Jarvie said.
