Old is new again By Michael Doran In the first week of December, Healesville will step back in time when restored Christmas decorations return to their rightful place along the main street. Getting them there has been a long and winding road and is the result of a joint project between Healesville’s Rotary and Lions clubs. The decorative Christmas wreaths, originally owned by the Healesville Shire, have been gathering dust for more than some years in a local shed. Life-long Healesville resident Cheryl Chippindall saw a Facebook post asking for help in moving them and she ended up with all 25 at her place. “I remember seeing them as a kid and I wanted my grandchildren to see them back in the town,” she said. Cheryl's husband Robert said she was "obsessed" with the decorations, an assertion she readily agreed with. “Without any decorations there is no real Christmas spirit in Healesville anymore,” she said. “Like it or not, Healesville is a tourist town and we need to give people a reason to come up here. "It’s important for the town and the people to have something like this to identify with." Healesville Rotary Club is steering the refurbishment project and secretary Don Fitzgerald said this was the first stage in a plan to run other themes throughout the year. “We have been talking about a winter wonderland theme as another way of promoting the town,” he said. “We found a guy who specialises in this type of work and he has already done one, which looks brand new," he said of the restorations. "He has agreed to do the other 24 in time for hanging in December. “Rotary and Lions are covering most of the cost of refurbishment but we have a shortfall. "I have approached local traders about helping us and so far the response has been good." Yarra Ranges Council is supporting the

Don, Cheryl and Robert with the before and after decorations. project by taking care of the installation and demounting of the decorations. “The wreaths are designed to fit exactly on the antique posts on the street and we had a very helpful response from the coun-

cil,” Don added. In a quirk of fate, Cheryl found the business to do the restoration by accident but it turned out to have a real connection to the project. “The decorations were actually made by

the late father of the person who is doing them up now, which was a surprise to both of us,” she said. Don is appealing to anyone who would like to contribute to contact him on 0428 537 846.

Ladies gathered at the Lilydale RSL on Monday 17 September to accept thanks for knitting, crocheting and felting 5000-plus poppies. They'll be planted in the garden surrounding the cenotaph in the Main Street ready for Remembrance Day on 11 November, 100 years from the end of World War I. Judith Shiel will also make a poppy wreath featuring names of the Lilydale soldiers who died in WWI, to be displayed at the Lilydale RSL.

LETTERS Aus Day should stay Our Prime Minister is on a winner by backing Australia Day on 26 January. His attitude to the self-flagellating local councils who take a wishy-washy appeasement stance when it comes to PC activists is also to be admired and applauded. During NAIDOC week all Australians are made welcome at the party. For a lot of folks it is a highlight of the year, full of cultural art and dance, food and festivity. What a blessing it is to be Australian. Stanley R Burgess, Healesville.

Upper Yarra secession call The Shire of Yarra Ranges is failing the ratepayers and residents of the Upper Yarra. Schemes like the Yellingbo Conservation Area project, the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve Master Plan, the Waterways scheme and the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Project, are aggravating more and more locals. Some of these schemes will only benefit Melbourne tourists, not us. But our rates are paying for them. The shire will not listen to our views. One councillor is not enough. The only way forward is to re-establish the Shire of Upper Yarra! Three wards and nine local councillors will 2 MAIL

Pissoir Plaza? Not for Healesville! Healesville residents rely on this very important road in our town - a road that lets us avoid the Maroondah Highway 'choke'. Tourism is welcome but too much pressure is already on the town's infrastructure. Those living to the north of the highway use Green Street for access to schools, doctors, dentists, and a direct exit from town at the Lalors Road intersection. Those south of the highway use it for direct access to carparks for the Memo, the senior citizens club and Coles. The lights make it safe for motorists and pedestrians. The altered paving also slows traffic. Finally, a 'plaza' next to the toilets is unpleasant for those inside and out. Events like Dogs Day Out and other celebrations are more than catered for by our wonderful parks. Hands off Green Street, the only northsouth cross-road that works effectively.

NEWS

IN BRIEF

No change on road By Casey Neill A "dangerous" Healesville intersection will stay as it is, says VicRoads. On 11 September the Mail reported that more than 400 people had signed a petition asking Yarra Ranges Council to look at traffic and pedestrian safety at the Maroondah Highway, Badger Creek Road and Wilson Street junction, to see if signalisation or a roundabout could be introduced. Habituel overlooks the intersection and manager Simon Hall said he'd witnessed "cars taking off at high speeds, and pedestrians taking risks crossing the road". Eildon MP Cindy McLeish encouraged local residents to make their voices heard about the intersection. She spoke about the issue in Parliament, calling on Roads and Road Safety Minister Luke Donnellan to investigate potential safety upgrades. But on 26 September Ms McLeish said the

State Government had confirmed it would not make any change. She said Mr Donnellan said during debate that he would accept advice from VicRoads. "There has been a big response from Healesville locals who know the danger this intersection poses to different users," Ms McLeish said. "Despite my best attempts to bring the community's concerns to his attention, the Minister seems to have no interest in working with our community to develop a solution. "It's typical of a Minister who makes decisions from an office in Melbourne and doesn't understand the realities of driving in our rural towns. "If a Liberal Government is elected this November, I will be committed to ensuring that VicRoads works with our community to find a solution." VicRoads movement and safety manager Sasha Yarwood said: "We've carried out a com-

prehensive safety review of the Maroondah Highway and Badger Creek Road intersection and found that the infrastructure already in place is appropriate for the road conditions." Mr Yarwood said the review took place in October last year. This included an on-site inspection, a geometric assessment, consultation with police and a crash data review, which revealed no casualty crashes at the location in the most recent five-year period. The assessment concluded that the intersection was in a low-speed environment and was clearly marked. It found there was appropriate infrastructure in place to balance the safety needs of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, including a pedestrian refuge with fencing on Badger Creek Road and separate bicycle lanes along Maroondah Highway. Mr Yarwood said VicRoads would continue to monitor the location and consider safety improvements if needed in the future.

Yering arrows support returned soldiers By Michael Doran Anyone wanting to give archery a try and help veterans at the same time should head to the Yering District Archers on Saturday 20 October. The Yering District Archers holds an annual charity event and this year is partnering with the Aussie Veterans Op-Shop in Boronia. The shop is a not-for-profit that supports the Australian Peacekeeper and Peacemaker Veteran’s Association (APPVA). It is a day for both beginners and experienced archers alike. All the equipment will be provided and budding Robin Hoods of any age will be welcomed. Yering District Archers secretary Amanda Barkway said the group had raised more than $8000 for charities over the past four years from fund-raising days. “Every year we look to support a charity that is near and dear to our heart,” Ms Barkway said. “One of our members has served overseas and that was how the connection to the veterans op-shop came about.” APPVA is a veteran’s organisation that provides comfort and assistance with welfare and entitlements for Australian Defence Force vet-

Sophie, 12, fires an arrow with Amanda Picture: ROB CAREW Barkway. 185564 erans and their families. Aussie Veterans Op-Shop volunteer John McNeill worked with Yering District Archers to organise the fund-raiser. “All the proceeds of the Veterans Op-Shop go to help veterans and their families, many of whom are on the higher end of the disability spectrum,” he said. “The access to welfare entitlements is an ongoing concern for many veterans and we of-

ten get involved at the point when the government has said no to their claims.“ The Aussie Veterans Coffee Co is a venture Mr McNeill started last year to provide employment opportunities for injured veterans. “The coffee business has grown from just online to doing farmer’s markets, a coffee van and we are about to open our first coffee shop,” he said. “My goal is to raise enough money to create a health and wellness centre for vets.” Australia’s peacekeeping involvement stretches back to 1947 and more than 66,000 veterans have contributed. More recent service has been in Somalia, Rwanda, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. Yering District Archers is at 13 McIntyre Lane, Yering, and the fund-raiser will run from 10am to 11am. Ms Barkway said: “There is always an emphasis on having a fun day for all the family and we thrive on everyone feeling welcome.” There will be a barbecue and drinks on sale with the proceeds also going to the Aussie Veterans Op-Shop, which is in the Boronia Mall and can be contacted on 9761 0468.

Repairs on the way at Badger Weir area

12401225-DJ41-18

Parks Victoria will start $1.2 million in repair work at the Badger Weir picnic area this month. They appointed contractor Harris HMC for the five-month project, expected to be completed in March. Works will include reconstruction and repairs to picnic tables, barbecues, park benches, drinking fountains, fences and gates, roads and bridges and a new toilet block.

On 19 September, the Mail reported that the picnic ground was still closed awaiting repairs, two years after storms tore through the site. Parks Victoria said on 1 October that the site's reopening was delayed after the first tender process received no submissions. A second tender process run recently successfully identified and appointed a contractor.

"We understand the community's frustration as the picnic area has been closed longer than expected and we apologise for the disruption this has caused," Parks Victoria chief operating officer Simon Talbot said. "The good news is that work will begin soon and we look forward to welcoming the Victorian community back to Bader Weir next year."

Speedsters caught Yarra Glen police are urging drivers to slow down after catching two people driving at over 100km/h in an 80 zone along Healesville-Yarra Glen Road. On 29 September, police intercepted a motorbike rider who was allegedly travelling at 120km/h in an 80 zone and performed a wheelie. The 35-year-old Hillside man received a $604 fine and six demerit points and police suspended his licence for six months. Only five minutes after intercepting the motorcyclist, Sergeant Richard Coulson said officers caught another speedster. Police intercepted a 64-year-old Traralgon woman who was allegedly travelling at 110km/h in the 80 zone. Police issued a $443 dollar fine and four demerit points, and suspended her license for six months.

Sinking to a new low Thieves plugged the sinks and turned on the taps as they made off with a TV from a Seville East home. Yarra Ranges CIU is investigating the breakin at a Glen Valley Crescent property between 10am and 5pm on Tuesday 25 September. Police don’t know how the thieves entered the house, but think it could have been through a sliding door. They caused about $3000 in damage, including the theft.

Antique theft Police are investigating a $2000 theft from HCP Antique Emporium in Healesville. Thieves broke into the Badger Creek Road store between 5pm on 19 September and 9am on 20 September. They forced a rear door to gain entry and stole Royal Doulton figurines and souvenirs.

Parked cars targeted Thieves broke into three cars parked on Middleton Drive, Woori Yallock, between 7pm on Wednesday 19 September and 8am the following morning. Yarra Ranges CIU detectives said they stole a laptop computer from one, plus purses, personal papers and cards.

Damage to property A 6pm on Sunday, 30 September a number of youths allegedly caused damage at the Healesville Primary School. Healesville police said that a number of youths were seen walking into the school grounds and soon after reports of smashing glass were made. Police attended and found five windows had been smashed on a number of different school buildings.

Council sheds raided Thieves stole computer and radio equipment from the Yarra Ranges Council headquarters in Lilydale. Yarra Ranges CIU officers said they cut chains to enter five sheds on the Anderson Street site between 5pm on Friday 21 September and 8am on Monday 24 September. The break-in followed another at the council’s Nelson Road depot on 30 August, where thieves broke into vehicles and stole thousands of dollars in garden maintenance tools. Police are investigating whether the two are linked.

We need the Police back in our Yarra Valley schools! The Police in Schools program will help school children in Evelyn gain respect for Police, the law and our community and work towards breaking the cycle of youth crime before it begins. The Police in Schools program will allow everyone in the school community to seek help with a range of policing issues, including the scourge of family violence.

Tapping into our tourism By Casey Neill Yarra Valley businesses that tap into tourism will gather to share knowledge and boost growth. The Tourism Network Yarra Valley (TNYV) annual conference will run from 8.30am on Wednesday 10 October at Worawa Aboriginal College in Healesville. TNYV committee member Ed McGettigan joined the association after reading in the Mail about a conference it was holding four years ago. "We try and get all our members and try to get new members to come along," he said.

Mr McGettigan said the group was populated by people who ran accommodation, restauranteurs, publicans, garden centres ... "Any people who feel they benefit from tourism," he said. The conference will include three presentations, plus workshops and networking, and aims to support TNYV members to manage and grow their businesses. Alva Hemming from Go Beyond Melbourne will speak about the initiative and what's in it for tourism businesses in the Yarra valley. The second speaker will be Jules Brooke from Handle Your Own PR, who'll cover how

small businesses with limited staff and budgets can get their story and products out there. Lynette Coulston from iT and Coffee will follow up her presentation at last year's conference with developments in the world of information technology in the past year. The conference MC will be Helen Wood from TMS Consulting. The association started in the early 1920s as the Healesville Tourism and Progress Association. In recognising the need to look beyond the Healesville area, it became the Yarra Valley Regional Tourism Association in 1986.

More recently it adopted the TNYV trading name, and its primary functions are to act on behalf of its members, to ensure sustainable growth in the Yarra Valley's tourism industry, and to develop and maintain co-operative working relationships with major organisations promoting the region. Conference tickets are $85 for TNYV members and $120 for non-members. Visit www.tourismnetworkyarravalley.com. au for more information.

Opera heard in the valley The dramatic Handmaid's Tale opera, which preceded the worldwide TV phenomenon, will have its Australian premiere in the Yarra Valley. It will be part of the inaugural Yarra Valley Opera Festival, which will run for 10 days from 12 October. It's Australia's only opera festival. The internationally-acclaimed cast for The Handmaid's Tale includes American vocal powerhouse Sarah Heltzel as the stuck-in-servitude and main protagonist, Offred. Soprano and runner-up on ABC's Operatunity Oz, Emily Burke, will star alongside her as terrifying re-education maestro, Aunt Lydia. The Royal Danish Opera commissioned the adaption of Margaret Atwood novel The Handmaid's Tale, and it premiered in 2009. "This piece is extraordinary - memorable, chilling and hauntingly beautiful," festival director Linda Thompson said. The festival will be set within the farmyard grounds of a historic Yarra Valley homestead.

It promises a world-class, international and uniquely-Australian celebration of opera's power to tell compelling stories. Ms Thompson said audiences could relax with a country picnic before enjoying a cocktail and taking their seats in the intimate theatre marquee. Opera Australia principal conductor, Brian Castles-Onion, will lead a performance of The Elixir of Love in English with Gertrude Opera Young Artists' emerging talent. "Elixir of Love, performed in such an incredibly unique atmosphere, allows attendees to experience the full gamut of human emotions in an intimate performance, with stories bought to life through voice, movement and music," he said. The Yarra Valley Opera Festival will run from 12 to 21 October at Olinda Yarra in Yering and various satellite locations. Visit www.yarravalleyoperafestival.com.au for more information or to book.

Wandin Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Hodgson organised the Thursday 27 September Light the Night event to support the Leukaemia Foundation.

Mr Hodgson said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over many years we have shared many Light the Night walks together and enjoyed the company of others each with their own journeys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One outcome of the night is that we raise money to change lives.â&#x20AC;?

MATERNITY PUSH

Birthing desert is ‘unjust’ By Casey Neill “All women have the right to access continuity of carer and birth in their community.” That’s what it boils down to for Yarra Valley Midwives team Robyn Partington and Lisa Wraith. “This is known as Gold Standard Midwifery care and is recommended by the World Health Organisation and supported by current research.” They started their Healesville-based service because other birthing options for women living in the Yarra Ranges were disappearing. The Yarra Ranges area encompasses about 2500 square kilometres and for women living in the Yarra Ranges, the closest maternity hospital is either the Angliss in Upper Ferntree Gully or Box Hill Hospital. “In this day and age for women to have to travel excessive distances to access maternity care is an outrage when it was available locally for over 50 years,” Ms Partington said. “The reasoning for removing Healesville’s maternity services does not make sense, there are always new families moving into the area.” “We have two reasons why we would love Healesville Hospital maternity back and running. “One of them is so women who access private midwifery care can have continuity of carer in their home community if they prefer to birth in a hospital.

“Two, Yarra Valley Midwives require an access licence agreement - which we have already have with Monash Health - with Eastern Health for us to provide this service at Healesville Hospital. “This means we could provide antenatal care, labour and birth care as a woman’s primary carer in Healesville Hospital and discharge her home with six weeks of postnatal care. “Presently this is not an option.” A recommendation from the Inquiry into Perinatal Services released in June was that the State Government should examine expanding midwifery-led continuity of care programs in the public health system. The Northern Hospital successfully trialled allowing private midwives to admit women. “We’d like to have that option available for

local women that are low-risk,” Ms Partington said. She said women using the public health system didn’t always see the same midwife for each appointment. “Gold standard is continuity of carer,” Ms Partington said. “Presently that’s not available to any woman in the Yarra Ranges.” If they access private midwifery, they receive a Medicare rebate if they give birth in a hospital but not if they give birth at home. “Medicare could subsidise women at home, just to take the weight off some of the public hospitals,” she said. But Eastern Health allowing private midwives to admit women to their hospitals would also remedy this discrepancy. Ms Partington said returning maternity services to Healesville would improve the chances that a woman would have continuity of carer. “Because it could employ local midwives that are here that have to travel down the line to gain employment,” she said. “They would at least have a small pool of midwives that they would probably meet. “Employment for local midwives is really important, too.” She said Yarra Ranges women had to travel for antenatal appointments as well as the birth itself. This counts on them having access to transport, money for parking, time to spare

and help if they have other children. “Some women are low income and they can’t afford to take the time out of the day,” she said. Circumstances could force some women would miss these appointments. “Demand on the public hospitals is extremely high and if you do miss an appointment it poses a greater safety risk for mother and baby,” she said. Other risks surround travel times to the Angliss and Box Hill. Ms Partington said muscle memory could kick in with a second or third birth. “You don’t know how quick that baby’s going to be,” she said. “It can be quite swift. “Women are presently more at risk of having a baby born before arrival (BBA) either in an ambulance or their own car on the side of the road or at home with an unplanned homebirth.” Ms Partington said the area’s Aboriginal community provided another reason to return maternity services to Healesville. “Indigenous women have a right to birth on country and not be forced to leave their local community,” she said. “Birthing on country and accessing antenatal and postnatal maternity services in their community, will assist in accessing and attending antenatal appointments. “Aboriginal women deserve gold standard midwifery care.”

Maternity push is put well and truly on the agenda By Casey Neill "Come and join the fight." That was the message from Save Healesville Hospital Action Group (SHHAG) member and Yarra Ranges Councillor Fiona McAllister. SHHAG will hold a community meeting at The Memo in Healesville from 7pm this Thursday 4 October. Maternity services will be one item on the agenda. "It's really important to have as many voices in the room as we can," Cr McAllister said. "It won't just be us talking at people, it will be a conversation." The Mail last week announced we'd joined in SHHAG's push for birthing services to return to Healesville Hospital. Cr McAllister said there was "no logical reason why low-risk births can't happen locally". She said she understood if high-risk births could not be safely accommodated. "That's not the majority of births," she said. "We already still have one obstetric GP locally. We're confident with the right push we could get another.

"We have a midwife service locally who could do it immediately at the hospital." SHHAG spokeswoman Jane Judd gave birth to two children at Healesville Hospital, in 1989 and 1992, and her grandson was born there in 2000. Ms Judd said Eastern Health ceased maternity services at the hospital on 1 October 2012 without community consultation, for several reasons. "The local GP obstetric workforce declined and we could not replace them," she said. Ms Judd said policy changes made it progressively more difficult to deliver at Healesville, including a ban on inductions. "All this in spite of an enviable track record of safety as evidenced by low mortality and morbidity statistics for mothers and babies," she said. "The number of women birthing from the local postcode areas was steadily increasing at the time they chose to close down access to maternity care services. "All these women now had to travel to Box Hill or the Angliss. "Born before arrival (BBA) stats have inevi-

tably increased." Ms Judd said having a baby was a big deal. "Women are at their most vulnerable, they need to feel safe and cared for and birthing close to home helps with their sense of connectedness," she said. "Women need local accessible delivery options, with family and friends within reach, where they are not anxious about getting to a hospital to deliver. "The Shire of Yarra Ranges is a birthing desert. "There is nowhere you can birth in over 2447 kilometres. "The only choices now for public birthing are Box Hill Hospital and the Angliss, who deliver 5000 babies a year. "That's more than 14 babies a day, if they are evenly spread. "Any wonder it feels like a conveyer belt like experience for some. "Let's not mention access to car parking or cost." Ms Judd said maternity required a skilled workforce, "one we had but has since evaporated".

But options for reinstating birthing services include sending senior obstetric registrars from Box Hill Hospital to Healesville. "Obstetric GPs and midwives could support this model by caring for women in the antenatal and postnatal period," Ms Judd said. "Alternatively, Eastern Health could re-engage obstetric GPs and local GPs in general." A third option would be to allow private midwives the option for their patients to deliver at Healesville.

Running flat out for Rio By Michael Doran Ryan Fowler only took up running in April, but he's now running from Melbourne to Sydney to raise money for children’s palliative care. He is passing through the Yarra Valley on the way and is asking for the district’s help. In November last year, Ryan and his wife Karen took their 17-month-old son Rio to hospital to get a bad dose of gastro checked out. Within a few hours their world was turned upside down and changed forever. “We went from thinking it was gastro to be told that he may not make it through the night," Ryan said. "The doctors told us their focus was getting through the next six hours. “We thought it was just gastro but we found ourselves saying goodbye.” Rio’s condition rapidly deteriorated and in little more than a month he had survived five major operations, including two amputations and heart and kidney failure, only for the family to learn his illness was terminal. “Close to Christmas they told us they didn’t think there was anything else they could do for Rio,” Ryan said. “We were told it was a condition so rare that doctors believe he was potentially the first child in the world to contract it. “Rio would look into my eyes and all I could think was 'are you sure he is dying?'” The family learned of Bear Cottage, a children’s hospice in Manly, New South Wales, and were lucky enough to find a space. “Rio spent his last days in the garden playing with his sister Remi, in a caring place with his family by his side," Ryan said. "I just want other families to have that, too." There are only three children’s hospices in Australia, with just 24 beds available nationally. Ryan and Karen want to change that and have set up a registered charity, Rio’s Legacy, with the aim of raising money for children’s palliative care and building more children’s hospices.

"He didn't need much to be smiling," Ryan said. “Each year we will do a Rio’s Challenge on 1 October as a way of raising awareness of what we are trying to achieve,” Ryan said. “We will change it every year to get people involved and talking about a subject that they normally don’t want to talk about.” The inaugural charity challenge, Rio’s Run, will see Ryan running from Melbourne to Sydney, beginning on 1 October and finishing on 26 October. The second day will end at Tarrawarra, with an overnight stop in Healesville on 2 October. “Rio’s Legacy is a fully-fledged charity and we are really proud of what we have achieved already, but there is so much more to do,” Ryan said. Visit www.rioslegacy.org.au for more information.

Rio loved being outside, like here with mum Karen at the beach.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A What is something people don't know about you? A lot of people don't know me from my first name. What was your most memorable moment? When my son Tom was born. What would your last meal be? Fish and chips, because that's what I have when I go out. What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness? The building of the pyramids would be something I would like to see. I would have liked to witness the first meeting of the club in 1888, so I could inform them of what they needed to put in place to make my job easier as club historian in the future. What is your favourite television show? Heartbeat and the local footy show. What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? Sir Weary Dunlop. I can't think of five others. What has been your most embarrassing moment? There are too many embarrassing moments to list. What was the first or best concert you've attended? David Gates and Bread. What has been your highlight as a local historian of the Healesville Football Club? A sense of belonging is important to a community body. What is your biggest weakness as an individual?

His Eminence Zimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;g Rinpoche blessing a very attentive attendee.

Animal blessing at the lake Lillydale Lake will host a Buddhist animal blessing day for the first time. The Sunday 28 October event will be the 10th annual animal blessing for Nalandra Buddhist Institute's spiritual director His Eminence Zimo'g Rinpoche. World Animal Day inspired the ceremony, which is dedicated to the well-being of all animals past, present and future. All pets attending will receive blessing cords, blessed water and food. Animals unable to attend or who are deceased are not forgotten. Their loved ones can bring photographs and provide their name at registration. "My father has now turned 100 but I intend to take him," Susie Howard told the Mail. "Last year we were blessed with lovely weather and my father loves animals. "I don't think he really understood the ceremony but being in an open setting, the sun spilling through the branches of the trees, seeing the dogs and being able to stroke some of them - and at the end he said to one of the ormailcommunity.com.au

ganisers he felt he was in heaven. "There just seems to be an amazing energy, which I think he must have picked up." Ms Howard said it was a special moment in time. "It gives such happiness knowing your beloved pet, past or present, is at the centre of this spiritual blessing," she said. "One year, a beautiful silver-back gorilla had passed away at Melbourne Zoo and a former employee placed his photo high on a tree trunk and he seemed to be peering down at all of us in that commanding way that they have." Registration will start at 10.30am, with the blessing ceremony to follow at 11am and a picnic lunch from 12.30pm. Entry is via 435 Swansea Road. Guests can follow the path to the lake and keep an eye out for Tibetan prayer flags. Attendance is by donation, with all proceeds to not-for-profit agency Animal Aid, which provides foster care and adoption services.

While the Yarra Ranges is one of the most beautiful places to live, some residents face a number of health and wellbeing issues. According to Cire's Manager of Education and Training, Anna-Louise Allen, key health issues in the Yarra Ranges include diabetes and obesity, poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, poor mental health, alcohol consumption and smoking. Ms Allen also believes that the cost of housing, transport and food have a particularly heavy impact on disadvantaged households across the Yarra Ranges. "Cire Services is keen to support vulnerable residents of the Yarra Ranges through community programs, short courses and training," Ms Allen said. "Through its Community House, supported playgroups and training programs, Cire Services engages with people of all ages including children, young people, adults and retirees." Cire's latest program, Blokes on Board, is led by Community Development Officer Aladdin Jones. The program aims to strengthen connections with vulnerable men throughout the Yarra Ranges. Aladdin is based at Cire Community House in Yarra Junction (2463 Warburton Highway). He has a background in family therapy, counselling and education and is keen to support initiatives for men and dads in the Yarra Ranges. Over the past 15 years, Aladdin has been working with boys, men and families, supporting men's health, relationships and compassionate communication. Cire's Blokes on Board program will include workshops and social evenings for men of the Yarra Ranges.

A classic stitch-up By Derek Schlennstedt There’s a unique quilting group in Monbulk helping to keep children around the world warm. Quilts for Orphans has been around for more than 10 years and started after members heard that orphans in India slept on the floor. They had a deeply-felt desire to do something about it. Group members volunteer their time and talent to make quilts which are sent to orphaned children in India, China, Indonesia, Afghanistan and other places where they are needed. To highlight the plight of children in other countries and to demonstrate the skills of quilting, the group is holding a quilting festival. “This year, because we haven’t been able to have it at the usual location, we’re having it at Mont De Lancey,” member Annette Stone said. “We’ve extended the time and completely changed the format. “We’re going to have a maker marathon which is a 'ready set go' and see how much we can sew in the day.” Ms Stone said there would be workshops and activities that revolved around quilting and were suitable for all ages. Since the group's inception, the membership has grown to more than 20 women. Over the span of 10 years they have created 3000 quilts which have been gifted to those in need. Ms Stone said Mont De Lancey was a great location for the festival as quilting fit with the theme of lost arts. She encouraged everyone to come along and to join the group if they were interested or

Film goes far Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill and Rooney Mara Rated M Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot is an endearing yet scattershot biopic about John Callahan, a quadriplegic who becomes a popular newspaper cartoonist while grappling with alcoholism. Phoenix portrays John with wry humour and understated pathos, and John undergoes a gratifying journey of personal growth, assisted by tough-love Alcoholics Anonymous coach Donnie (Jonah Hill) and his friendships with quirky fellow AA members. A major sub-plot involves John slowly taking command of his life by forgiving the people who wronged him (including himself). The film progresses slowly, but this immerses us in John's big struggles and little triumphs, and the pacing gains momentum as John attains greater perspective and inner strength. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot is a sensitive drama about a man healing from his past and discarding bad habits, but we gain little sense of John's growth as an artist. Save for him sketching his estranged birth mother, to whom John feels lingering resentment for having abandoned him, his newfound artistic drive essentially appears out of nowhere. Within the enjoyably loose pacing, the film's structure is overcomplicated, using at least three separate events as framing-device springboards for exploring John's past. This makes it difficult to pin down when (or for how long) the film's events happened. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot is a poignant, uplifting film despite its clunky structure and strangely incomplete view of its fascinating subject's life. - Seth Lukas Hynes

HOME FOCUS

YARRA VALLEY LIFESTYLE PLUS INCOME TOO SET on a smidge under 25 acres, this perfectly-positioned Yarra Valley property offers a multitude of options and opportunities. Just over an hour out from Melbourne, Kaldour Farm features a solid, generouslysized four-bedroom, two-bathroom country homestead with full verandahs and a private orchard. There’s room for everyone with two huge living areas (one of which features a big open fire), a spacious country kitchen with quality fittings, along with stunning beech floors, ducted heating (natural gas connected) and wood heating, too. The central hallway, with access from the carport with accommodation for six cars, means the new owner won't get wet bringing the shopping in on a rainy day. It’s the little things that make a difference. And the carport has been built so that the new owner could extend under the roofline if they required a bit more room. Now, the farm side of things. Fertile soils have produced flowers for many years and the impressive infrastructure in place allows for plenty of scope for future flora-culture or agricultural ventures. Features include: A drive-through shed, about 20 metres by 13m with concrete floor, power, natural gas available, and a 7.2m by 3.6m cool room, tractor bays and additional storage. Spring-fed dam, 20 meg rights, new pump, with irrigation consisting of underground main lines along all headlands throughout the property.

About 4000 square metres undercover, multi-span times 22 igloos, a further 11 single span igloos with natural gas heating that require some maintenance. There are so many possibilities here - a Yarra Valley hobby farm, or the new buyer

could enjoy the two acres adjacent to the house and lease the farm, or they could utilise the almost 8 acres of cleared land beyond the dam, with its own access, for agistment for additional income. Perhaps they could also stock the dam

with fish and cool down with a swim after a hot day on the land. The property is in an incredible location with all the hard work done already. For more information SMS 25TEESES to 0488 824 379. ●

Ride to remember By Michael Doran For the past five years, the Jones family has been the driving force behind the annual Ride to Remember - Yarra Valley bike ride. Sisters Kylie and Kirsty organise the event in memory of their mother Anne Jones, a Healesville Primary School staff member who lost her life to dementia. The family has lived in Healesville for more than 40 years and father Bryn is involved in the Healesville Historical Society. “Coming up to the first anniversary of mum’s passing we wanted to mark the occasion with something positive that would honour her life,“ Kylie told the Mail. They came up with the idea of the annual bike ride and the fund-raiser. “Like a lot of families, we had no experience of dementia until our mum developed it,” Kylie said. “Dementia Australia gave us a lot of support so we wanted to find a way to help them in return.“ This year the ride is on Sunday 18 November and again travels along the Warburton Rail Trail. The organisers have planned the day so all ages and fitness levels can take part, ranging from the full 55 kilometre ride from Wandin to Warburton and return, to no ride at all and just enjoying the gourmet barbecue lunch by the Yarra in Warburton. The timetable is set so riders can join in along the route at Woori Yallock, Yarra Junction and Wandin. With Australia’s aging population, the scourge of dementia is touching the lives of more and more loved ones and families. Dementia Australia estimates that more than 425,000 Australians live with the disease and about 1.2 million more are involved in caring for them. With about 250 people joining the dementia

By Michael Doran

Riders on the 2017 Ride to Remember Yarra Valley. population each day, Dementia Australia said that by 2056 almost one million Australians would be living with the debilitating disease. With three in 10 people aged over 85 and one in 10 over 65 coping with dementia, the need to find a cure is critical and fund-raising is vital to those efforts. The Yarra Valley lunch will be sponsored and every registration and donation dollar will go directly to Dementia Australia to support families living with the still incurable condition. The event has raised more than $30,000 since inception and organisers hope to add another $5000 this year. Individuals, families and teams can enter at www.ridetorememberyarravalley.com.

With another dangerous fire season approaching, the State Government announced a $29.9 million boost for aerial firefighting resources. This will upgrade existing aircraft, expand water-bombing capability and increase water capacity. “In the Yarra Valley, our helicopters will again be located at Maroondah Reservoir, Olinda and Moorabbin,” CFA District 13 operations manager David Renkin said. “We are well supported by the heavy bombers at Moorabbin and Essendon and the other aircraft strategically placed around the state." A suite of 49 aircraft can be deployed during disasters, including two air-tankers of 15,000 litre capacity and two air-cranes of 7500 litres. The firefighting fleet is a mix of fire-bombing helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, with the remaining aircraft providing supervision and intelligence-gathering support. In a first for Australia, two aviation firebombing providers based in Victoria have been approved to conduct night-time operations this summer season, after completing successful trials earlier in the year. The CFA also announced a doubling of personnel trained to reload the firefighting aircraft. There are now more than 120 personnel who have completed bomber reloading training, which includes ‘hot loading’ - refuelling aircraft with water, foam or retardant while the aircraft is still running. “The majority of those doing the training are older members who have gotten to the point where they’re not keen to be on the back of trucks,” CFA wildfire instructor Graeme Briggs said. “It’s great they want to keep helping out and it’s extremely important as well. "It turns 20 minutes into two minutes in terms of changing over, and on the fire ground that’s everything."

Wandin goes five for five By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES DIVISION 1 GRAND FINALS FOOTBALL SENIORS Wandin 16.11.107 d Woori Yallock 9.16.70 Wandin beat minor premiers Woori Yallock in front of a record crowd at Yarra Glen on Friday 28 September. Wandin got off to a good start, kicking 4.2, but Woori Yallock was hot on their tail with 2.3. Wandin outplayed and outran Woori in the second quarter, holding them to just 1.5 while they took advantage of the breeze and kicked 3.5 to take a lead of 25 points into half time. Woori Yallock could not inflict any damage on the scoreboard in the third as Wandin ran all over them, kicking 4.1 while Woori Yallock was only allowed to put on three behinds. The margin at three-quarter time was 47 points and the last quarter was a goal feast, with 11 kicked. Woori Yallock got a few of them early to reduce the margin until Wandin found the big sticks again to seal the deal. Wandin - Best: R. Ross (Best on Ground Medallist), P. Bruzzese, R. Heasley, B. Foley, H. Byrne, B. Harvey. Goals: J. Van Unen 6, H. Byrne 2, P. Hodgett 2, B. Harvey, J. Ladner, D. Hirst, T. Merlino, S. Wettenhall, D. Barton. Woori Yallock - Best: R. Monkhorst, L. Boontjes, K.

RESERVES Mount Evelyn 10.12.72 d Olinda Ferny Creek 11.4.70 Mount Evelyn came from fifth spot to knock off the more-fancied Olinda Ferny Creek by two points. It was deja vu for Olinda as they lost by two points in the 2017 Grand Final. Olinda got off to a great start, kicking 3.2 to 1.5 to take a lead of nine points into the second quarter and the early signs were that Olinda was more in control. Mount Evelyn came back at them in the second, kicking 2.2 to 1.1 to reduce the lead to just two points at half time. The third quarter was tough contested footy with both sides making the use of the wide-open spaces. The margin at three quarter time was Olinda by three points. Mount Evelyn had the ball on a string but was making hard work of it with its inaccuracy in front of goal but in the end, they prevailed and gave their supporters something to cheer about coming home with a heart stopping two-point win. Mount Evelyn - Best: L. Doidge, S. Martin, B. Klaas-Henry, B. Cronkshaw, B. Maynard, J. Yeomans. Goals: L. Doidge 4, R. Fooks, M. Gibbons, B. Klaas-Henry, S. Martin, L. Fooks, A. Condello.

UNDER-18S Gembrook Cockatoo 12.7.79 d Healesville 6.8.44 Gembrook Cockatoo took home its first Under-18 Premiership after accounting for Healesville on Friday 28 September. Gembrook started well, kicking 3.3 to two goals to have a lead of nine points at quarter time. The second quarter was low-scoring with only two goals kicked, but Healesville had reduced the margin to eight points at the main break. Gembrook came out a different team in the third and took control of the game kicking 5.1 to 2.2 to have a very handy lead of 25 points as they went into the last. Healesville was left wanting in the last and could just not get the run it needed to try and peg back the lead. Gembrook ran out winners by a very convincing 33 points. Coach Steve Manning made special mention of the fire that destroyed the Gembrook pub on Monday 24 September. Gembrook Cockatoo - Best: H. Snoxell (Best on Ground Medallist), J. Burchill, M.

The first quarter was tight and Belgrave had a lead of one goal at quarter time. Olinda shot 20 goals in the second and Peri Stewart was on fire, shooting 15 of them as Olinda went into the half-time break with a nine-goal lead. The contest tightened up in the third, but Olinda did increase its lead to 13 goals at threequarter time. Belgrave came home with a late charge, shooting 16 goals to 10, but the margin was too big to chase down. Olinda Ferny Creek - Best: B. Smith (Best on Court Medallist), P. Stewart, A. Howard.

The bowls are back

Low scores ahead By Ron Hottes The Warburton Golf Club course is finally giving up some very good scores to members. As it dries out, and players get some decent run, a score of +10 in the 4BBB PAR format in the Wednesday 26 September competition means that low scores are about to occur frequently. Allan-Hubbard and Steuart Hawke have won their share of 4BBB comps, so it was no surprise that they were the victors on this day. Tex Van Der Kooi and Neil Leckenby were right behind on +9 to snare the runner-up prize. Balls only went down to +8. The daily nearest the pins went to Steve Wyatt on the ninth, Ms Nursey on the 15th and Andy Lockey for a smart second shot on the 17th. On Saturday 29 September, the Eagle landed at the MCG but a Hawke did the same in the stableford competition at Warburton Golf Club. The Steuart-variety soared for a win by accumulating 44 unbelievable points, braining all of the field. Playing to a handicap of 14, this means that Steuart shot mid-70s off the stick. The runner-up, with an equally impressive total of 42 points, was Darren Wyatt. Is he now clearly better than the old-man? This writer thinks so, as he also achieved the rare distinction of grabbing not one, not two, but three nearest the pins, on the third, fifth and ninth. Fortunately, there were two other nearest the pins to win. David Scott grabbed the one on the 12th and Captain Cross the 15th. Players who scored 35 points up, they can claim a ball.

By Garry Lewis The Warburton Bowls Club is looking forward to another enjoyable and successful pennant season. Saturday pennant starts on Saturday 6 October with Warburton 1 playing Ferntree Gully 1 away in Division 1 Section 3. With several players stepping up to the top team, the club is encouraged by the positive form in the recent practice matches. Warburton 2 steps up to the challenge of Division 3 Section 5 following its premiership success in Division 4 last season. The side will play Boronia 1 at home. Warburton 3 (6-a-side Section 4) plays Box Hill RSL 4 away. With a few new players joining, the club is hopeful of fielding a team each week. New and beginning players are still encouraged to join the small but friendly club. Coaching is available from qualified coaches. The mid-week Tuesday pennant competition (Division 2 Section 4) started last week with Warburton 1 playing Lilydale 2 at home. The Burras started, well winning all rinks, 76 to 29. Rink scores were as follows: G. Walsh 22/11; S. Lord 26/8 and R. Zunneberg 28/ 10. Social bowls continues on Mondays from about noon. New and beginning players are most welcome. The popular Wednesday night barefoot bowls competition starts on Wednesday 31 October.
