Getting to and from medical appointments can be a trying experience but living hundreds of kilometres away adds another layer of cost and stress. That’s when Angel Flight Australia volunteer pilot and Seville man, Bob Boyd warms up his aircraft and sets off from Coldstream to pick up patients from all corners of Victoria and get them to their appointments and back home again. Angel Flight Coordinator Julie Scott said that Bob has volunteered 52 free flights for country people. “He is a hero in our eyes and deserves recognition for his humble contribution,” she said. Bob Boyd, Director of Yarra Valley Flight Training at Coldstream, is indeed a humble man and in true volunteer spirit does not see what he does as being overly special, just a way of combining two loves, helping people and flying. “I got involved in 2010 from an interest in doing something other than flying training around the Yarra Valley,which I do a lot of,” he said. “It’s great to go flying to pick-up someone in need and get them to appointments in the city. So flying and also helping people is a double plus for me. “I have done Angel Flights to opposite ends of the state, to Mildura, Mallacoota, Orbost, Hamilton and lots of others. I land at Essendon or Moorabbin Airport and then an Angel Flight volunteer driver takes them on to their appointments. He has transported a young boy and his mother from Orbost to Melbourne a number of times where previously they had made the journey by car. “Because of the boy’s condition they had to stop halfway for him to rest and sleep and then finish the trip the next day. Now its an hour and a half on the Angel Flight which makes it much easier for both to cope with,” he said. “There are a lot of enjoyable moments, usually seeing the smiles on their faces and seeing these people we have to shift around the coun-

SOCIALLY SPEAKING... RE: Warburton Highway users are calling for a safety boost following a serious crash in Seville East. Let's face it, Warburton Highway is in no way a highway. At best it is a country road with zero features to ensure the safety of all that use it. The turnoff spots are very dangerous, there are no overtaking lanes, the approach to Seville is dangerous. Traffic is increasing every year and yet VicRoads is not interested. This 'highway' is the only major road in and out of the Upper Yarra region, it deserves attention. Ray Pederick, Via Facebook I think people just need to learn how to drive and pay bloody attention. It's not that hard to pay attention to what's going on around you and to drive like a normal person like for God sakes. Maybe we need IQ tests before anyone can learn to drive. Maybe lessons with an instructor need to be mandatory and who we allow to have a licence should be allot more strict! Shelby Graham, Via Facebook It's not the road it's the drivers! I travel it every day and daily am overtaken in the morning on double lines by abusive drivers who don't want to do the speed limit. Deborah Milton, Via Facebook Overtaking on the 'inside' is the biggest problem next to speeding on the highway.

It is so common people probably think it's legal. I have often paused behind turning vehicles only to have big four-wheel drives overtake myself and the turning vehicle by running onto the roadside dirt without reducing speed, without indicating, and spewing roadside dust everywhere. The person behind them often follows them or is blinded by the dust. It's an epidemic and police need to do more about it. Angela Jones, Via Facebook No more speed limit reductions, thanks! Following cars - pay attention, keep wellspaced. All cars 'going around' must indicate, they never do! This alerts the car following of what is about to happen, same car then indicates right and re-enters lane. Distance and the good old MANDATORY indicator, two little things often over looked by lazy drivers, often the cause! Ado Stu, Via Facebook A dedicated turning lane would be great, however with so many idiots speed along the Warburton Highway, I fear we would still see accidents. Not a day goes by that I don't see cars speeding when I'm out and about. It's pure idiocy and irresponsibility. So glad Sandy wasn't more seriously injured. Jennifer Hope, Via Facebook

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… I live around there and plenty of times while turning to Peters Road, cars have nearly gone up the back of me. I now watch, and if I see they aren't veering around me I beep ... my horn. Oh, and keep my wheels straight so if they do hit me, I don't get launched into incoming traffic. Jenifar Hathaway, Via Facebook You have got to be kidding. We do not need to lower the speed limit any more on any section of the Warby Highway. The accidents have nothing to do with the road, it is the useless drivers that are on the road. Unfortunately car accidents are a part of driving cars on the road, you will never stop all accidents. The only thing I would say would be the turning lane there sounds like a good idea. Jason Kilborn, Via Facebook Speed isn't the issue. Drop the speed and you will have similar accidents but they won't be 'as bad'. The cause is usually lack of attention, people not watching further than the nose of their car. My sister lives on Warby Highway just after the bend in Wandin (just after it returns to 70 kilometres an hour) and almost every time people almost run up the a*** of us, doesn't matter if we put our indicator on at the 70 sign or just after. Emma Warne, Via Facebook

LETTERS INSTA-PIC

Thanks going out to the 'good ones' It’s always nice to receive a reminder of the potential for human kindness. A motorist took to Facebook with a thankyou following a windfall in Mount Evelyn. “My card wouldn’t work so I went to my car to find my other card to pay for my fuel,” she explained. “A guy came up to my car and said he had paid for my fuel and to have a nice day. “If you’re reading this you’ve made my whole week and I can’t thank you enough! “Nice to know there is still good ones out there.”

Royal rumours straight from the museum Another story from the Warburton Walhalla Museum is from 1954 when Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stayed at the Board of Works Chalet in East Warburton. The story tells of the newlyweds getting into a flaming row that ended with the Prince calling the chauffeur to take him to a local pub, leaving Her Majesty behind. In the hit TV series The Crown, this rumoured tiff is depicted as happening in Africa but it seems that those who should know are pretty certain the scene is all about the not-sosmooth royal time in the Warburton hills.

Taken for a ride I am writing in response and agreement to letters form Donna and Damien in regards to the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination (WMBD). I feel it is a complete waste of money. Firstly the project was only meant to be $6 million and now it is over $10 million and growing. This was asked to Cr Jim Childs and not denied, however no locals or other valley residents seem to know this, only the biking community. My question is: how can this project get so much funding when council denies having any final drafts and plans? Money is being thrown into so much mountain biking which does not benefit everyone. As anyone who lives or has visited Warburton recently will tell you there is inadequate infrastructure, inadequate faculties and is full to capacity with tourists already without a multimillion dollar project. If you live in the Yarra Valley, how would you spend $10 million to make it better? I have found www.rethink-warburtonmountain-bike-destination.com it has information about the project and impacts from places already with these trails. Karen DH, Warburton

IN BRIEF Million-dollar damage bill

Black Spur crash By Derek Schlennstedt A lady in her sixties was flown to hospital following a two-car collision along the Black Spur. About 11.30am on Thursday 17 January, a Nissan Navara travelling towards Narbethong and a Toyota sedan travelling in the opposite direction collided on Maroondah Highway between Fernshaw and Dom Dom Saddle. The collision forced the sedan off the road and 10 metres down an embankment. Emergency services crews freed a man and two women from that car. An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said one person was airlifted to The Royal Melbourne Hospital and two others were taken by road ambulance to Maroondah and the Royal Melbourne Hospital. One of those patients - a man in his seventies - suffered back and chest injuries and was in a stable condition. Paramedics assessed a fourth person but they did not require any treatment. “There was a four-wheel drive still on the road, with one person - a male driver who wasn’t injured,” Healesville SES controller Phil Drew said. “Another car was down a steep embankment and three people, a male and two females, were injured and had to be extricated from the car...

A Nissan Navara and Toyota Sedan have collided along the Black Spur, between Fernshaw and Dom Dom Saddle.

“We had to use the Jaws of Life to take off the door.” Following the initial two-car collision, another vehicle went off the road and rolled about 700 metres away. It is believed the driver was trying to avoid traffic which had built up along the Black Spur. Garry from Camberwell was first on scene and told the Mail that he arrived to see smoke billowing from the Navara. “When we arrived we came around the corner and saw the Navara stuck in the middle of the road smoking,” he said.

“Our concern was obviously for the people involved but we actually didn’t realise there were two cars were involved as there was no evidence of the second car or the Navara driver. “We found out 30 seconds later that the Navara driver was actually down with the other vehicle which was down the embankment... you couldn’t see it from the road.“ The Black Spur was expected to re-open just after 3pm with emergency service crews working hard to clear oil and other debris from the road. Investigations into the cause of the crash are underway.

A Gruyere teen allegedly caused more than $1 million in damage in a string of break-ins over the past two years. Police allege he released about 25,000 litres of cider from a Gruyere distillery in October 2017, which killed fruit trees and damaged equipment. Yarra Ranges CIU Detective Senior Constable Andrew Austin said the offences dated back to 11 December 2016 and he would charge the 19-year-old on summons after arresting him on 19 December. In another incident, the teen allegedly stole an excavator and wheel loader from a construction site in Dixons Creek in 2017. Det Sen Const Austin said he rammed the vehicles into one another and drove one into a dam. He also alleged the teen stole a car from Chirnside Park and used it to damage fences, commentary boxes and the arena at Wandin Park in May last year.

Keep cars locked Police are warning car owners to keep their vehicles locked, after issuing a caution to a boy for attempted theft on 11 January. They said the 14-year-old, who was visiting from the Northern Territory, was testing door handles in the Wandin area on 9 January. He was allegedly disturbed during his search for coins and cigarettes.

Gulf station burglary

Reptiles come alive for exhibition

A 45-year-old Healesville man was arrested in Bairnsdale and charged in relation to a burglary at Gulf Station. Police charged the man burglary and vehicle theft and recovered all the property stolen except for one trailer. Between 7pm on 5 January and 10am on 6 January, police found a stolen vehicle dumped outside a home opposite Gulf Station, Yarra Glen. They allege the man stole gardening tools including a chainsaw and mower and broke into an unregistered white Mitsubishi ute with a silver tray which was used to tow two trailers - one which had a green John Deere mower on it.

By Michael Doran Opening in January at Hearth Gallery is an exhibition by Healesville aboriginal artist, Graham Patterson. Hearth Galleries Creative Director, Chris Joy said, "His works are vibrant shades of ochre depicting predominantly reptiles. "His style is often powerfully geometric with the reptiles often overlaid on one another or entwined. His work makes a significant statement about the importance of local Aboriginal art, and the significant cultural and historic links to Coranderrk." Graham Patterson is a Taungurung Yorta Yorta man who brings his love of native reptiles to life through his paintings. "I love painting goannas and snakes," he said. "I've lost track of my totem but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the snake or goanna, as my paintings flow when I paint them." "I've lived in Healesville all my life and I love painting to keep the culture alive and to paint the way I feel about being a Koorie person. If we didn't paint we would lose our culture and our stories." His connection to Coranderrk Station is through his great great grandmother, Lydia Briggs "She lived at the station and her daughter Lizzie Edmunds was my great grandmother," he said. "Lydia Briggs died in Maloga in 1885 after being told to leave Coranderrk and to leave her children behind. When she arrived in Maloga

How would this yard look at your place

A young copperhead snake decided to make its home at Yarra Glen Police Station on 17 January, much to the concern of wary police officers. The aptly named reptile decided to cosy up in the station’s garage, and Sergeant Richard Coulson had to call an off-duty police member who doubles as a snake handler to remove it. He said the 12-month-old snake was relocated from the garage after exhibiting aggressive behaviour. “We were worried about it getting up into the engine bay of the patrol vehicle,” he said. “We’re used to dealing with all sorts of hazards, but dealing with a snake is a bit of a different one.”

A time to be thankful This coming weekend our community will join together to enjoy Australia Day and to celebrate our great country. Australians celebrate in many different ways, but no matter where you are, Australia Day is a time when we acknowledge and reward volunteers for the work they do in our community. In the Yarra Valley we are so very lucky to have a host of volunteer organisations who make our community the special and treasured place it is to live in and I greatly appreciate the opportunity Australia Day gives me to thank our volunteers. Volunteers provide support and care for the elderly, they look after our beautiful natural environment through Landcare groups, they

The state of

affairs Cindy McLeish MP Member for Eildon are responsible for running our local junior and senior sporting clubs and at the times when the community is at its most vulnerable, our emergency services volunteers in the CFA and SES are there to protect us.

It is our emergency services volunteers who are particularly in our minds during these summer months, especially at a time when we are remembering the most devastating fires to ever tear through our communities. Earlier this month we marked 80 years since the 1939 Black Friday fires that wiped out much of the Upper Yarra Valley and Yarra Glen, leading to the formation of the CFA. While few people today remember those fires, I know our community will never forget Black Saturday and we will never forget those people who lost so much and those who were there for our community in its greatest time of need. Ten years ago a total of 153 people from the Eildon electorate perished defending their

homes or trying to escape the fires. Looking forward, our community continues to regrow but our lost friends and family members will continue to live on in our hearts and minds. Local commemoration events to be held over the coming weeks will provide an opportunity for those community members who wish to take part and reflect on the events of February 2009 in their own way. A State Commemoration event will be held on Monday 4 February at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, while Yarra Ranges Shire will host community event on Thursday 7 February at Mackenzie Reserve in Yarra Glen. All community members are welcome to attend both these events.

COMMUNITY DIARY Warby Summer Market The Warburton Summer Market is open every Friday until 8 March. It runs from 4.30pm until sunset at the Warburton Community Space, near the river on Thomas Avenue.

Norm needs you By Michael Doran In 2015, Norm Orr from Launching Place, was watching the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal on TV and in the list of country towns saw Warburton’s contribution shown as $0. This pained him so much that he set about launching his own fundraiser, the Triple-100 Bike Ride, which has now raised more than $30,000 for the hospital. “I called it the Triple-100 because we wanted to get 100 people to ride 100 kilometres and raise $100 each, so we could get a total of $10,000,” he said. “In the first year we got 85 riders, the second 47 and last year there were 76 but we still managed to raise $12,000. The only target we have not reached yet is the 100 riders and this is our focus this year, in addition to the $10,000 total. The event, supported by the Warburton Advancement League, was re-named the Eastern 80 and now there are two options to choose from. Both rides start at Warburton Station and follow the rail track to either Lilydale or Seville before returning to Warburton. “Our aims are the same but now there is an 80km and a 50km ride to give riders options. However there is no compulsion to ride those distances and people can ride to their own capabilities, we just want them to ride,” Norm said. Each year the ride selects an ambassador and this year is it Ian Burrows, formerly of Launching Place, who is someone with extensive first-hand experience of the Royal Children's Hospital. His mother Jane said Ian was 12 weeks old when he was first admitted and spent most of his first four and half years in the hospital. “He had major surgery for a very rare condition when he was four and he was in and out of the Royal Children's until he was around 13,” she said.

Leading the way on ride By Michael Doran

Three Generations, Keira (4), Bec (Mum) and Norma (Grand Dad). 189300 Registrations for the February 16 event are open at www.trybooking.com/YFVS with the option of making the $100 donation online or on the day of the event. Children aged 16 and under ride for free and every dollar raised goes directly to the Good Friday Appeal. “This is the year to get more than 100 riders involved so we need some new people coming along, making up a group and having a

great day on the Warburton Trail for a fantastic cause,” Norm said. For more information go the the event facebook page ‘Eastern 80’, email eastern80@hotmail.com or contact organiser Norm Orr on 0408 592504. The ride starts from the Warburton COG Bike Cafe at 42 Station Road, Warburton at 7am.

Ian Burrows, the 2019 Ambassador for the Eastern 80, was born at Lilydale and grew up in Launching Place, although he spent a large amount of his pre-teen years at the Royal Children's Hospital. “I am very proud to be the face of the ride,” he said. “It has been a phenomenal effort by Norm to get this off the ground and to raise so much money for such a wonderful cause, a cause that is very close to home for me.” “I don’t remember a lot from the very early days of being in the hospital but the overriding memory I do have is of a lot of really caring people. "I am very grateful for the care I got from all the staff and being treated by some of the best doctors in the world has made a huge difference to my life. “My family and Norm’s have been friends for ages and I have done the ride a few times already. "There are so many people who go out of their way to make this ride a success and to be the Ride Ambassador is something I am really happy to do.” After facing many health challenges in his early years, Ian has carved out a life where health and fitness play a big part. He is an AFL Boundary Umpire who has officiated in 274 AFL matches, including seven Grand Finals, commencing his career with the Yarra Valley Umpires Association in 2001. “Like Norm, I want to get more than 100 riders there so I’ve drafted some of my umpire mates to join in.”

Positive stomp on trail By Michael Doran The Warburton Trail Fest has added a new event for 2019, the 'Body Positive 4.5k Stomp' on Saturday 9 March. Organisers of the Stomp, Escaping Your Comfort Zone, describe it as a 'walk, skip, shuffle, jog, prance, strut or stomp' designed to encourage everyone out on the trail, regardless of fitness level, body shape or experience. It is open to everyone and will be deliberately non-timed and non-competitive with a team of volunteer trail-angels creating a party at the back so no-one can come last. Escaping Your Comfort Zone Director and event host, Richelle Olsen, said "It's about being part of something and enjoying the outdoors in an non-competitive, fun and inclusive way. We wanted to create an environment that's a comfortable space for people who feel that may not fit in with outdoor activity groups or events." Richelle started the group in 2016 and it has grown to more than 2000 members today. "I have always been adventurous and was encouraged to get out and do things. I was really sad that there were a lot of people who felt excluded from having great experiences because of their body shape or size. "I'm just an everyday woman, not overly fit but I love the outdoors and I want to inspire and support other plus-sized women to experience what I have. You don't need to be fit and it doesn't matter what size you are, all you need is a sense of adventure and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone." The Stomp is part of the wider Warburton Trail Fest which includes trail runs from 3 to 50 kilometres, a Lilo Derby down the river and plenty of off-river entertainment across the March long weekend. For all the details and to enter go to www. escapingyourcomfortzone.com and www.warburtontrailfest.com

LEAVE EARLY The reasons are black and white

There’s no questioning the facts. Bushfires can start quickly and threaten lives within minutes. When it comes to fire, what you need to do is black and white. Check Fire Danger Ratings in your district daily, and monitor conditions. Most bushfire deaths happen close to home, so on high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts, is always the safest option.

One fruit fly found A single male Queensland fruit fly (QFF) has been found Silvan. Agribusiness Yarra Valley QFF regional coordinator Bronwyn Koll said the discovery caused concern for commercial fruit and vegetable producers, and also residents with fruit and vegetables in their home gardens who have all been privileged to normally have fruit fly free production conditions. QFF is an invasive insect pest that causes fruit to turn rotten internally when infested with QFF larvae. "This pest is not welcome in the Yarra Valley - and community surveillance and action can help maintain a fruit fly free region," Ms Koll said. "The detection this summer is a reminder to us all that despite our history of being QFFfree, we are all required to remain vigilant if we are to help protect the Yarra Valley." She said produce grown in fruit fly free areas meant that growers could avoid chemical use, preserve the balance of beneficial insects in the production system, and avoid the expenses of having to apply fruit fly bait weekly or using netting. Fruit fly netting is an insect mesh that requires a structure built to hold the net up. Ms Koll said gardeners in northern Victoria had to install insect netting over their gardens after flowering time to allow pollination, to then protect the developing and ripening fruit from fruit fly damage. Northern Victorians are regularly trapping and baiting for QFF and some also have to permanently remove host plants. "This can all be avoided in the Yarra Valley if we take extremely good care of our fruit production in home gardens and commercial fruit growing areas right now," Ms Koll said. "Action needs to be taken to prevent any Queensland Fruit Fly populations establishing in the Yarra Valley."

A peach infect with QFF larvae. Picking ripe fruit and vegetables before they fall to the ground is a simple and effective preventative action, along with cleaning up any dropped fruit. Traps can be hung in trees to help monitor for any fruit fly activity. "Yarra Valley residents can help by ensuring they don't bring QFF infested fruit and vegetables into the Yarra Valley," Ms Koll said.

Power anger By Derek Schlennstedt Ausnet has defended its decision to go ahead with a planned outage in the Yarra Ranges despite a state wide total fire ban being declared. The electricity supplier went ahead with the planned power outage despite the highrisk fire area being vulnerable on a Total Fire Ban day. Power was off at 389 sites across townships such as Chirnside Park, Coldstream, Gruyere, Wandin and Seville from 8:30am until 2pm. Glen Monteith from Wandin said he was surprised to learn the outage would be going ahead, despite the fire danger rating. “We were given roughly two weeks’ notice and followed up with a text 48 hours beforehand,” he said. “When we checked yesterday, last night and this morning at 7am it didn’t have any details so we assumed it was cancelled but then bang on 8:30am, the power dropped out. “It’s concerning for us, as we live on a street with a lot of elderly people and quite a few new mother’s. “I know it’s a planned outage and that’s fine but in weather like this it should have been postponed.” An Ausnet spokesman said the maintenance was considered a critical safety issue and was carried out despite the hot weather to mitigate bushfire risk. “It was critical to have this work complete for the safety of the community, but we do understand how difficult it is to be without power today and do apologise for the inconvenience and thank customers for their patience while we do this critical work,” the spokesperson said. “This work does form part of the bushfire mitigation program which is best preparing the network for safety compliance.” Crews replaced three power poles and worked on high voltage cross-arms. Power was restored at 2pm.

Greyhound owners probably have a few more kilometres on their car than the average motorist. With only 13 race tracks across Victoria, most trainers cover many miles if they wish to race at Healesville's picturesque and unique straight track. Given that the club races regularly on Friday and Sunday, some trainers back up twice a week, week in, week out. One such trainer is Samantha Hooke. Having recently moved from Bendigo to the small township of Bushfield, 10 kilometres north of Warrnambool, Sam recently made the trip twice in seven days. Covering 1318km and spending close to 14 hours driving to and from the valley was well worthwhile as her greyhound, Spritely Bob, won on both occasions. With school holidays well underway, Sam was accompanied by her children Brianna, 11, and five-year-old Hunter and all three were

Samantha Hooke with her children Brianna and Hunter and their greyhound Spritely Bob. very excited with the result. As the school holidays draw to a close on the Australia Day long weekend, the Healesville Greyhound Association will race on Friday and Sunday plus a special meeting on Monday 28 January, the Australia Day Fun Day. There'll be free family entertainment, live music, food vans and great racing, and entry to the event is free.

AUSTRALIA DAY

A lamington worthy fest By Derek Schlennstedt The humble Aussie lamington, this fine Australian culinary icon that consists of sponge cake dipped in chocolate and liberally sprinkled with fine desiccated coconut is as an Australia Day treat. Like a good Victorian beer with the cricket, Lamingtons on Australia Day is an Australian ritual, and when you bite into the little squareshaped sponge cake it's easy to see why they are so popular. Exactly who whipped together the first reci-

pe is still up for debate, with both Toowoomba and Ipswich and New Zealand claiming to be the lamington's birthplace. Of course for all these so-called claims are stories of how this Australia icon came to be. One such story suggests Lamingtons were created through an accident at work by a maidservant to Lord Lamington, the thoroughlyBritish eighth Governor of Queensland. It tells the story of a maid who accidentally dropped sponge cake into some melted chocolate and, to avoid food waste and messy fingers when the cake was being eaten, it was

dipped in coconut - an error turned into a dessert that Lord Lamington from Brisbane loved. Another story suggests that Lord Lamington had unexpected guests but the cupboard was bare except for a stale sponge cake. The chef had to improvise and coated the cake in chocolate and rolled it in coconut to disguise its staleness. In any case, no matter who really invented it or where and when, today, it's one of Australia's national dishes, and in 2006, The National Trust of Queensland named it a "Heritage Icon" - there's even a National Lamington Day

every July 21 Though there may be an official date to eat a lamington I, like many others agree that a lamington should be enjoyed on any day but what better way to spend Australia Day than with a cheeky lamington on the side.

NEWS

Rodeo a hit By Michael Doran Yarra Valley Rodeo organiser, Jody Wilson, has proclaimed this years event as the best one ever, with a crowd estimated around 4500. "It gets better and better each year and we are seeing a lot more people coming out from Melbourne," she said. "The grandstand and ringside seating was completely sold out and it was a really family-friendly day, with lots for the kids to do. "There were riders from all over Australia and the surface was fantastic, we didn't have any injuries to riders, horses or the bulls. The riders love this rodeo and that's why we they keep coming back year after year. "Everyone had a great view from the big screen and the concert kept going until 11pm, with Mick from Rukus heading up a great night of entertainment for the crowd." The switch to Yarra Glen Racecourse has been a success and Ms Wilson said the rodeo will be back next year, bigger and better than ever. A group of animal liberationists staged a protest at the event to put across their point of view on rodeos and the wellbeing of the animals involved but did not disrupt the day.

Riders start young and get a huge applause from the crowd.

A ring assistant luckily avoided injury when the bull collected him.

Riders launch themselves from their galloping horses to bring down the steers

The Bucking Bronco contest is a crowd favourite.

A group of Animal Liberationists were protesting outside before the Rodeo started.

New art at Yering Station By Michael Doran Yering Station has been displaying artworks in its gallery since 1999 and each year gives around 10 artists the opportunity to showcase their work in the stunning surrounds of the winery and tasting rooms. Gallery director, Dr Ewen Jarvis said, "We are committed to exhibiting the work of both established and emerging Australian artists and we take applications throughout the year. Around October we sit down and select the artists who will have their work exhibited the following year. "We have the Main Gallery in the ground floor tasting room and also have a smaller space in the winery viewing area on the first floor. Generally we rotate exhibitions every four to six weeks and with the large numbers of visitors to the winery it gives the artists great exposure." Currently in the Main Gallery is 'Beneath the Surface' by Oliver Ashworth-Martin which runs until 17 February. A mix of drawings, prints and bronze casting, the works focus on seed pods depicted as multi-dimensional models in a variety of forms. The collection give a perspective into the inner-sanctum of the seed pod that presents

Yering Gallery Director, Dr Ewen Jarvis said "that when exposed in the artworks, the native seed pods resemble multi-dimensional models and as vessels they embody nature's ongoing cycles of renewal, growth and decay." In the winery viewing gallery is 'The Stillest Hour', a photographic collection showcasing Victoria's highland forests by Chris Taylor. "In my photography I seek to capture those

Such moments tell my own story and somehow express my efforts to better understand the forests," he said. "Through photography, I strive to create new connections enabling a heightened appreciation of our unique forest ecosystems,

which I hope will lead to more enlightened conservation outcomes." All commissions from sales associated with Yering Station's Arts Program are donated to The Leukaemia Auxiliary of the Royal Children's Hospital. More info at www.yering. com/visit-yering-station/art-gallery/

Glass is a riveting psychological thriller and another triumphant return to form for director M Knight Shyamalan. Super-strong vigilante David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and split-personality serial killer Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) are captured and brought to a mental institution, where the frail yet brilliant Elijah (Samuel L Jackson) secretly guides them into a comic book-style showdown. The sequel to both Unbreakable and Split, Glass is another taut, compelling film driven by ingenious surprises and outstanding performances. Willis conveys a gruff dignity while Jackson emanates a soft-spoken but deadly charisma. McAvoy once again demonstrates staggering range and primal energy as Kevin, and brings further depth to this composite character, as Kevin’s savage ‘Beast’ personality evokes fear and shame in several of Kevin’s other personalities. Sarah Paulson is laser-focused as Dr Ellie Staple, a psychiatrist determined to convince her patients that their abilities are not real. Elijah’s machinations are perversely satisfying, as he becomes a mentor to Kevin and uses his extraordinary cunning to become the supervillain he’d always dreamed of being. My favourite Shyamalan film is still (shock) The Village but Glass is still a great thriller.

'Horizons' is a new exhibition by Silvan artist, Tania Chanter, that is opening at The Memorial Hall in Healesville on Friday 1 February at 7pm. This is her first solo exhibition and comes just over a year since she first began her career as a painter. As she told The Mail last year, her first work was done as a family activity with her sons and the passion developed from there. "It's quite interesting, I had absolutely no idea I was going to get into art," she said. The initial enthusiasm came from watching 'The joy of painting' by Bob Ross on Youtube and she has since developed her own style, taking inspiration from the landscapes and surrounds of the Dandenongs and the Yarra Valley. "My feelings flow directly onto the canvas in an uninterrupted, intuitive flow; layers, textures and colours blend and evolve before me until some secret inner part of me feels satisfied. I don't question or reflect on the process as it takes shape, I simply let the emotions rule the head. Around my home, nature overwhelms the human environment." Her first showings were at Kallista Tea House in the Dandenongs and Round Birds cafe in Lilydale. The Memo is her first solo exhibition and she has been shortlisted for the 2019 Art Lovers Australia Prize, marking a year of progress in her new career.

Milestones for our RSLs By Casey Neill The Mount Evelyn and Lilydale RSL subbranches are celebrating notable milestones. The Lilydale sub-branch formed 100 years ago at a meeting in the Reading Room - now the Dame Nellie Melba Room - at the Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre. Mount Evelyn RSL secretary Anthony McAleer said most of those present on 15 January 1919 were ex-servicemen who had just returned from World War I. "Here they elected their first committee including their first president, James McNeill, who was a veteran of the Anglo-Boer War," he said. Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre Company chair Alan Burrows received a plaque from sub-branch secretary Chris Newell and president Don Parsons to mark the milestone on Tuesday 15 January. "We feel very proud because of the association with the RSL and the building," he said. The club is the longest running non-sporting club in Lilydale, and hosts about 10,000 people at its Anzac Day dawn service. The Mount Evelyn RSL sub-branch's charter was signed 50 years ago, on 23 January 1969. The club held a celebratory luncheon for club and community members on Sunday 20 January. Guests included Cr Tim Heenan, Mayor Tony Stevenson, Evelyn MP Bridgett Vallence and Casey MP Tony Smith. Ex-diggers from the Mount Evelyn area were members at Lilydale for more than 50 years. In August 1968, 10 ex-servicemen met in the Presbyterian hall and elected a provisional committee to organise the steps necessary to form their own sub-branch. The Victorian RSL headquarters approved

The club's first president was Harold Tarbath, an Englishman who had served in WWI with the AIF and was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal and French Medal of Honor. The first secretary was Arthur MortonWalker, another distinguished WWI veteran who won the Military Cross while serving with the British Army. He served the club as secretary until he retired in 1975, when he was then made the branch's first Life Member.

The ladies auxiliary was set up during the 1980s and remains an active group. The sub-branch built memorials to commemorate locals who served in war and the town's former avenue of honour during the same period. The group had been using the public hall, and secretary and treasurer John Urand said this became unsuitable. "No storage area and such, so we started looking at building our own room somewhere," he said. "In the meantime through general hard

In 1994 their quest for a permanent home led to meetings with the shire, who agreed to approve two thirds of the funding for an extension to the Senior Citizens building. In February 1996, the new Mount Evelyn RSL clubrooms officially opened. One of the first projects the club undertook once in its new home was a memorial garden that would carry the names of Mount Evelyn RSL members who had passed away. It was dedicated in December 1996 with 25 names. The original war memorial was moved to a new memorial garden at the top of Wray Crescent in 2003.

Mount Evelyn a real train By Chris Anderson After a cracking day of cricket across the Yarra Valley, followers of the competition's premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield have been left to wonder...can anyone challenge the Mount Evelyn freight train? The answer might come with which of the other teams can pick up the pace over the closing four rounds of the season. In a remarkable turn of fortunes, Seville now finds itself in third place on the ladder and in the thick of finals calculations with a comfortable victory over Healesville. Seville had been slowly piecing things together before Christmas, but a heavy defeat at the hands of Mount Evelyn placed its season in the balance at the Christmas break. Back-to-back wins post-season have seen them leap frog teams above them and given the team some huge confidence. Batting first, the Blues started cautiously through openers Caleb Frankovic and Liam McGookin against some excellent bowling from the Healesville attack. Although crawling to 0/18 off the first 10 overs, the stage had been set for the way the visitors would attack the game. Leigh Aitkins accelerated the scoring, but his wicket just after the drinks break left the innings teetering at 3/57. Healesville opening bowler Tom Dalley was rewarded with the opening two wickets, just reward for a patient effort up front. Up and coming star Liam Kay joined Tom Page (43) at the wicket and the pair put together a decisive partnership. Through Page's strokeplay, complimented with Kay's patience and some good running between the wickets, the pair patiently progressed the score via a well-made half-century partnership. Kay's eventual wicket caused a collapse of four wickets for six runs which threatened to derail the innings. Dermott Fry (3/36) had the Bloods quickly back in the contest as the home side looked at a quick finish to the innings. However, Seville was able to keep things moving forward, bat out their overs, and manage a tidy total of 8/155. A score of this size sets up an intriguing finish. Less than four an over can be more than manageable, but lack of partnerships can also make things extremely difficult. Seville turned to some steady hands to start

its bowling efforts, sensing a slowing of the pace could prove difficult to get away. Opening with Marcus Smith and Liam Kay (2/14) proved a masterstroke for the visitors as the innings lacked impetus early, and with four early wickets the Bloods would limp to 4/39 at the drinks break. Ash Hamer (37) did his best to kick-start the innings upon the resumption but it was as if the batsmen had left themselves with too much to do over the remainder of the innings. Andy Kay (3/13) emerged from his son's shadows to grab some of the spotlight as he and Mark Sandfort (2/17) wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip. Eventually the task was too great and Healesville were dismissed for a mediocre 88, handing Seville a crucial victory. Wandin also claimed crucial ground and a fairly considerable purchase of second place on the ladder as they held on for a memorable victory against Warburton-Millgrove in a classic contest. Wandin had surprised all with the quick adjustment to life in the fast lane after an impromptu elevation to DJ Strachan Shield earlier in the season seeing them score crucial points pre-Christmas. A disappointing loss to Seville upon resumption put a dent in their progress, but the quick bounce back they were after came to fruition. Wandin opened proceedings with the bat, and neither side could claim early ascendancy as the scoreboard would click over at a reasonable pace, but consistent wicket taking, particularly from the experienced hand of Cam Darwall (4/40) kept things in check. The batting of Wandin's experienced leadership has proved vital in their establishment in the top flight, and the efforts of Tim Thorne (42) and Bryce Edwards (54) would again prove vital in the Bulldog's fortunes with the bat. When the innings needed some grunt and skilful guidance, they provided it with an excellent 83-run partnership. Despite some late wicket taking from Stuart Thompson (3/27), Wandin was able to keep the scoreboard accumulating to see out its allotted overs, and post a more than competitive 7/182. It was a well-paced innings from start to finish with contributions right through. Wandin's bowling wasn't as reliable as its batting, so the challenge is still ahead for the Bulldogs on a notoriously-fast Wandin North Oval.

The Burras' innings started in similar fashion to their opponents. Jamie Oakley (2/25) kept things in check for the home side to see the visitors 3/39 inside the first 10 overs. Tyson Walker's gritty efforts at the top of the innings would be well complimented by the measured experience of Ben Lever, and the innings started to take shape with some promise for the Burras. The pair put on a timely 66-run partnership to give Warburton-Millgrove a real sense of hope. The fall of Walker and Lever in quick succession left the Burras a little short with the score left teetering at 5/111. As they have done with great success, Wandin turned to slow bowling maestro Andy Walker (3/41) to try and apply the brakes to the innings. With the required run rate starting to balloon, some lusty blows from the Burras' lower order pushed the game towards a classic conclusion. Regular wickets continued to dent the Burras' progress. With 12 runs to get off the final over and just one wicket in hand, a brilliant run-out from Rick Painter was the clincher for the home side. It held on for a momentous eight-run victory with just three balls to spare. In the final game of the round, Mount Evelyn again showed its considerable strength. Yarra Junction opted to put some scoreboard pressure on the home side with the decision to bat in great conditions. Some loose bowling accompanied by some brisk strokeplay, particularly from captain Kevin Bomford (30) put the Eagles at 0/41 after 10 overs. Sensing the need to change fortunes, Kane Jones injected himself and Gareth Fraser into the action and this effectively ended the contest. Jones and Fraser collected five wickets each in a brilliant display of skilful bowling and planning. Their efforts reduced the Eagles from a promising 0/43 to being dismissed for 67 runs. Despite Terry Ottrey snaring two late wickets with the finish line in sight, the Mounters strolled to an eight-wicket victory inside 20 overs. Jon Williams continued his promising season with a well-compiled 40 not out.

Veterans on the field of their dreams The Yarra Valley Veterans Cricket Club (YVVCC) over-60s played against Mornington Peninsula Veterans at Yarra Junction Oval on Sunday 13 January. The YVVCC formed seven years ago, initially with just an over-60s team to cater for the fast-growing interest all over Australia in older age group cricket. Now the Yarra Valley team also has an over50s side. Both age groups are performing well in their competitions, with players in both age groups having achieved Victorian and even Australian selection. Veterans Cricket Victoria president Greg Johnson, also a Yarra Valley player, said there were four over-60s teams in the state 12 years ago. "And over-50s and over-70s hadn't started," he said. "This year we have a total of 60 teams in Victoria and around 1000 members as well as national championships in the three age groups, and compete against international teams." The YVVCC is still in its early stages but is experiencing a lot of interest, with many explayers making a return to the game, some after many years of retirement. Players that used to be competing against each other in various YVCA teams are now playing alongside each other for YVV. "Vets cricket is proving to be a great way for 22 MAIL

An easy win for Brown By Ron Hottes Craig Brown returned a winning score that was as good as any result in recent months in Warburton Bowls Club's Wednesday 16 January competition. His +10 easily won the day. The runner-up, Andrew McMath had a +4, which was a good result itself. Therefore, the ball rundown only extended to +1. Nearest the pins went to President Hall on the third, CHB on the 10th and to Captain Cross, who just about owns the 15th! Paul Kennedy won the Twilight contest this week, with 21 solid points. But, he only just snuck-in as Steve Wyatt also had 21 but lost on a countback. Balls got down to 17. Nearest the pin winners were Clint Toohey on the first, Luke Patrick on the third and Grant Handasyde on the ninth. In the Saturday 19 January stableford, the A-grade voucher went to Peter Bell with a healthy 39 points. But, the best score on the day was accrued by Trevor Porter, with 41 impressive points to give him the B-grade voucher. The daily runner-up was Kempton Senior, ironically with the second-best score on the day of 40 points. Players who scored 36+ can claim a ball. The nearest the pins were won by Jason 'Kenno' Kennedy on the third, his dad PK on the fifth, Paul 'Snorcs' Long on the ninth, Dave Murch on the 12th and to Snorcs again on the 15th.
