Eildon MP Cindy McLeish and Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child are among those who have called upon the State Government to reopen the unused Warburton Private Hospital. The call comes as pressure continues to mount on health services amid the Covid-19 crisis. On 3 April, Victoria had 1,085 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with 18 of those in the Yarra Ranges. Ms McLeish said she proposed the option to the Minister for Health after being contacted by many locals who supported the idea. “I have been contacted by many people, more so recently, wanting to see the hospital reopen, particularly because the nearest hospital services are 50kms away,” she said. “Locals would love to see the hospital repurposed and again offer health services to residents as part of the state’s public health system and to support the local community.” The hospital has sat idle for over a decade but remains well maintained and was recently upgraded. It had previously been used as a wellness centre, rehabilitation clinic and obstetrics service. “The hospital would be ideal for aged care or rehabilitation services for vulnerable patients or distance them from Covid-19,” Ms McLeish said. “We need to make use of the resources around us. This hospital could greatly benefit the community and help ease current hospital demand.” Meanwhile, O’Shannassy Ward Councillor Jim Child agreed that it was an ideal time to reopen the facility. “As the Covid-19 situation worsens, there is a possibility of a shortage of facilities to house
to re-open the Warburton Private Hospital, with his petition receiving over 2200 signatures. He said if the hospital was reopened it would help meet the needs of the surrounding growing population and save local residents about an hour travelling along the narrow Warburton Highway to get to Maroondah Hospital. He also said it was an ideal time considering the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s a great resource in the community sitting there idling,” Mr Nankivell said. “How can you say as a health organisation that you’re doing everything you can to flatten the curve when you’ve got hospitals sitting there idling?,” he said. The State Government recently announced it would inject $1.3 billion into the health system to quickly establish an extra 4,000 ICU beds in response to the coronavirus pandemic. A spokesperson said the government is “preparing for all contingencies.” “We know that once Victoria hits its peak of the coronavirus pandemic, we will need more staff and beds than ever before to manage the significant increase in patients,” the government spokesperson said. “The Department of Health and Human Services is commissioning new and old buildings, as well as looking at a range of settings that could be used to create extra capacity if it’s needed. “If Victorians stay at home and protect the health system, we hopefully won’t need all this extra capacity and we’ll save lives.” Retired healthcare specialists have been called upon to return to work while the State Government is continuing to talk to smaller private hospitals and day procedure centres about extra capacity they can provide during the peak of the pandemic.

Dearest damage By Jed Lanyon The growing invasion of wild deer continues to plague Yarra Valley wineries, costing businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and preventative measures, but a strategy to deal with the issue could still be months away. Eildon MP Cindy McLeish told Star Mail she has been frustrated at the lack of response and action taken by the state government in releasing a deer management strategy, which is now a year overdue. Ms McLeish said that the Minister for Agriculture reported to her stating the final deer management strategy would not be released until later this year. “I have complaints constantly from locals who are fed up with their crops, vineyards and gardens being destroyed,” she said. “Even worse are reports of illegal hunting. Residents can hear gun shots close by, spot light torches being shone into their homes and often find headless carcasses left by the road.” Wine Yarra Valley president and local winemaker Franco D’Anna said re-classifying the destructive animal as a pest, would be a great start to tackling the issue. “They really need to change the legislation ... They’re not native and the desecration to the bushland is unbelievable. “Unless they are declared as a pest it’s going to be hard to keep their numbers under control.” Mr D’Anna fears deer numbers will spiral as estimates state that the current Victorian deer population of one million could explode to 2.5 million in just five years. “20 years ago you wouldn’t see one deer, now it’s like every night you’ll see them,” he said. “The deer can do up to $100,000 in damages in just one night. Once they eat the crop it’s gone. And there’s not a lot of ways to stop them

Franco D'Anna has 1.9 metre fencing along his vineyard to protect the area from deer. 206652 unless there are shooters out every night.” Mr D’Anna said that illegal hunters were also a big concern across the Yarra Ranges as he had experienced hunters shooting from their vehicles, while a horse on a neighbouring property had been killed, being mistaken for a deer. To address the issue, Mr D’Anna opted to erect 1.9 metre high cyclone fencing around the 270 hectare vineyard at Hoddles Creek Estate as a preventative measure. He said the costs to secure the property with fencing exceeded $200,000. “It’s a massive cost tho the industry and it’s only going to get worse.”
Australian Deer Association executive officer, Barry Howlett expressed his concerns to Ms McLeish. “Increasing deer numbers in Victoria are impacting agriculture and biodiversity in the region,” he said. “We need a well-considered plan that takes into consideration the views of everyone in the community.” “We have been waiting over 12 months for a practical framework that identifies actions based on the greatest needs.” A Victorian government spokesperson said they are developing a Deer Management Strategy that will provide a clear and coordinated
approach to deer management in Victoria. It is being developed between the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions in response to several factors, including the rapid increase in wild deer numbers across the state. "Swift action has been taken to control deer following the bushfires earlier this year, which has been aimed at reducing their impact and spread following the fires," the spokesperson said. "Release of the final Victorian Deer Management Strategy will be later this year.”

Distillers’ sanitiser shift By Romy Stephens Local distilleries are keeping business going and the community hygienic by contributing to the production of hand sanitiser. Amid the Covid-19 crisis, Healesville’s Four Pillars Gin and Seville’s Morgans Winery and Distillery have altered their focus by using additional spirits to produce sanitiser. It comes as both have suffered from the impacts of Covid-19 and the country faces a shortage of hand sanitiser due to the virus. Four Pillars has created two different hand sanitisers from the by-products of their gin distilling efforts - both in line with the World Health Organisation’s formula. They initially created a sanitiser for healthcare workers, nurses and pharmacies before then creating a more aromatic product for household use. Co-founder and distiller at Four Pillars Cameron MacKenzie said the idea has allowed them “to pivot the business” and keep staff in jobs. “We’ve got about a three week backlog now of hand sanitiser to pack,” he said. “We’ve got a bit of excess packaging that we’ve been able to repurpose. “Also, all of our casual staff faced a bit of an unsure future. I would say we have about 4-5 weeks worth of work for them on full-time hours. “At the moment there is a significant national shortage and I think we’re filling a tiny bit of that hole and at the same time keeping the lights on here.” Morgans Winery and Distillery has also jumped on board the hand sanitiser production train after their local chemist approached them for help. They initially sent additional alcohol to help with production, but are now making their own bottles.

Cameron MacKenzie with Four Pillars' new hand sanitiser. 207207 Owner Simon Gunther said they have been forced to be creative during these tough times. “Our business had basically ground to a halt in terms of sales,” he said. “It’s a good alternative and allows us to keep paying the bills... When one door closes another door opens.” Mr Gunther added that with the winery also going through vintage, they have thought of another creative idea to keep business going. “Rather than throwing out our grape pressings from our Ros¨¦ making as compost, we are adding back water and fermenting them to create spirit, as sugar is getting harder to get,” Mr Gunther said.

Four Pillars’ Heads, Tails and Clean Hands is available from 1 April online and through the pop-up distillery shop in Healesville for $40 per litre. Individual purchases will be limited to five 1L bottles per order. Morgans Winery and Distillery is selling 100ml spray bottles for $15 each with a limit of six per customer. Larger quantities can be arranged for businesses or organisations. Morgans Hand Sanitiser will be available at the cellar door from 11am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. It is expected to be made available for online purchase soon.

Council adapts to crisis Yarra Ranges Council has made significant changes to the way it will run during the coronavirus crisis. At a Special Council Meeting on 31 March, councillors voted to delegate authority to the CEO should there be a situation in which council meetings cannot take place. This would see the CEO able to make decisions that would otherwise be made by the council, if further lockdowns and tighter restrictions prevent councillors meeting in person. Currently, the Local Government Act requires councillors to be physically present at council meetings. Yarra Ranges Mayor Richard Higgins said in a statement that without intervention from the State Government, council needed to ensure business continuity could be maintained. “We are currently involved in some advocacy work as part of the Eastern Region Group of Councils (ERG) calling on the State Government to change these requirements so
that councillors can meet remotely via online methods,” he said. “Similar changes have been made by the State Government of New South Wales. “Last night’s decision, while certainly an unprecedented one, was essential to ensure we can continue to support our community through the current disruption and uncertainty.” Changes to council meetings will also take place during the coronavirus outbreak with meetings occurring monthly rather than fortnightly. Council meetings will continue to be livestreamed. Cr Higgins also announced that he wrote to the Premier to ask that businesses including local butchers, bakers, greengrocers, other small food providers and plant nurseries be defined as essential services, to ensure they can remain open should further lockdown measures be introduced.
Yarra Ranges mayor Richard Higgins. “Yarra Ranges Council understands the significant impacts this pandemic is having on families, businesses and individuals who have lost their jobs, and we have been contacted by a number of people concerned about their ability to pay rates,” Cr Higgins said.
“In response to this, we are developing some very specific relief measures. Later this week I will be announcing the first of a number of measures that we will be developing over the coming weeks to help relieve some of the pain many of you are experiencing.”

Helping the cellar doors remain open By Romy Stephens Yarra Valley wineries are thinking of different ways to provide the cellar door experience to locals amid the Covid-19 crisis. Rochford Wines has completely transformed its cellar door and restaurant space into a boutique grocery store where customers can get all the necessities in a clean and respectful environment. The Rochford Grocer opened on 25 March in a bid to not only service the community but also keep the business running. Rochford Wines owner and CEO Helmut Konecsny said the main reason for the dramatic change was not for profit but rather “to keep people in jobs.” “We have toilet paper, we have napkins, we have pretty much a little bit of everything,” he said. “We have meat, we have, of course, wine and everything is for the people in the region. “So please come and help us and we will help you.” Rochford’s retail sales manager Sophia Demos said the business hoped to help the community in a time of great need. “We felt we could be of service to the local community and also to our food suppliers who are not able to service restaurants anymore,” she said. “So what we’ve done is we’ve extended an existing retail space and included grocery items, essential hygiene items, fruit and vegetables and pre-prepared meats from our kitchen. “Consequently we’re a mini grocery store in the middle of the Yarra Valley.” Meanwhile, Warrandyte’s Rob Dolan Wines is offering customers contactless wine pick up. The winery’s Cellar Door to Car Boot initiative sees customers phone ahead, park at the cellar door, pop open their boot and wine will be hand delivered to their car. Rob Dolan said that despite it being a difficult time for the business, his team is staying positive and searching for new ways to keep

The Yarra Glen Art Show will no longer run after its committee unanimously agreed to finish the event for good. At a special committee meeting on 21 February at the Yarra Glen Living and Learning Centre, it was resolved to suspend planning for the next show (scheduled for Labour Day weekend next year) and wind up the Yarra Glen Art Show Inc. at the end of June. Since the first show in 2002 where 60 works of art were displayed, the event has grown into a major arts event in the Yarra Valley, particularly in Yarra Glen. Recent shows have attracted over 500 entries and have handled turnovers of well over $30,000. President of the Yarra Glen Art Show Sharon Rowell said managing the event has been a very significant administrative task for the volunteer committee and the coordinator. "Over the years the show has received funding and support from the Yarra Ranges Council, the Steels Creek Community Centre, many traders in Yarra Glen and hundreds of volunteers from the wider community," she said. "To all those who have supported us over the years we are deeply thankful and we strongly believe that the show has played a significant role in supporting local artists and generally raised the awareness of art in the Yarra Valley." For more information on the history of the Yarra Glen Art Show go to www.steelscreek.vic. au or www.yarraglenartshow.com.au.
More popular parks closed by Covid-19 Parks Victoria has closed an additional five high-visitation sites, including the Redwood Forest in East Warburton, to help slow the spread of Covid-19. The Redwood Forest visitor site in the Yarra Ranges National Park, Sugarloaf Reservoir Park, Werribee Gorge State Park, You Yangs Regional Park and Yan Yean Reservoir Park have all been closed. This has been done as a measure to ensure effective physical distancing and to protect the health of staff and visitors.
These locations are in addition to a number of already closed sites, including the Twelve Apostles Visitor Centre and lookouts and the 1000 steps in the Dandenong Ranges, plus all campgrounds, playgrounds, BBQ facilities, water drinking fountains, picnic shelters and tables, rotundas, toilets and viewing platforms on Parks Victoria-managed land. Other parks remain accessible for exercise if physical distancing requirements are strictly followed. Due to the rapidly changing nature of the
situation, Parks Victoria staff will monitor visitation rates with the possibility of further changes to park closures, pending advice from health authorities. Parks Victoria will continue to ensure business continuity and supporting urgent recovery efforts in bushfire affected communities, firefighting of active fires and ongoing critical work to protect parks from pests, threats and weeds.

‘Dragging heels’ on deer By Romy Stephens A Yellingbo conservation group is one of the latest to raise concerns about growing deer numbers across the Yarra Ranges. Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater president Alan Clayton said about 10 kilometres of fencing has been installed at the Yellingbo Conservation Reserve to protect habitat and revegetation works from deer. He said this type of fencing is three times more expensive than the standard farm fence. "A combination of culling and fencing are being used to try to at least alleviate the damage that is being done to vegetation, waterways, wetlands and the breeding habitat of critically endangered species in the Yellingbo area," he said. The State Government is in the process of establishing a Deer Management Strategy, which is anticipated to be released this year. A draft of the strategy was released for pub-
lic consultation in October 2018 with 666 submissions received. According to The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, a significant issue raised during the public consultation period was that the strategy needs greater emphasis and commitment to reducing the impacts of deer, and the final strategy is being prepared in line with that feedback. But Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater said the government "has dragged its heels" in finalising the strategy. "This strategy is extremely important to progressing control of our most destructive pest animal currently in the valley and the Dandenongs," Mr Clayton said. According to Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater both State and Federal Government programs have funded professional deer control in the past 12 months in the Yellingbo area and over 200 deer have been culled through these programs.
The group is now calling for more to be done including the declaration of deer as a pest species and statewide targets and monitoring with immediate action in high priority areas. A spokesperson for DELWP said Parks Victoria undertakes deer control in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Yellingbo and Warramate Nature Conservation Reserves. "Yarra Ranges Shire Council received funding from the Victorian Government under the Biodiversity Response Planning Fund to undertake deer control as part of its Birds 2 Butterfields Habitat Corridor Improvements project," the spokesperson said. "We're working with the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions to develop a deer management strategy that addresses issues raised by the community which is expected to be released later this year."

enough shooters to deal with the problem. The focus should be on eradication not maintaining a game resource because there is little chance of running out of deer to hunt. NSW has a TAFE training program for game harvesters. This kind of program could create job opportunities here. We are heading into winter when the presence and deer damage at lower elevations increases. Already they have been sighted in late summer in areas like Chum Creek. What can be done in the interim before a Deer Management Strategy and hopefully a funded strategy is in place? Landowners are reminded that they have the right to kill deer that are causing damage
on their properties. There are restrictions on the size of the property where culling can take place and on smaller properties a public place permit should be applied for to kill deer. In this case a professional hunter should be used. The Yarra Ranges Shire has produced an information brochure on ’Deer Management for Landowners’ which is useful to obtain. The realities are that at the moment landowners individually or in groups have to organize a professional hunter for culling in their area or probably after corona restrictions have lifted, form a highly effective program like the one set up by the Cardinia Deer Management Coalition or those organized by the Middle Yarra or Bunyip Landcare groups.
At the moment to protect your gardens, revegetation programs or commercial crops, the best option is about 2 metre high fencing. Electric fencing is not an effective deer deterrent. While the restrictions due to coronavirus can limit our actions, it is important to keep lobbying for a properly funded deer management strategy and make some effort to reduce the deer population. We don’t want to be overwhelmed trying to control a population double in size what exists now. Evelyn Feller, Chum Creek.
OPINION More deer control Thanks to the Star Mail and Jed Lanyon for keeping the feral deer issue in public awareness. I certainly acknowledge that the capacity and resources of the government to deal with the problem has been severely strained by the impact of the bushfires and now the coronavirus. Two important steps toward reducing the over a million feral deer population in our state are declaring deer a pest and completing the Deer Management Strategy. However completing the strategy is not a panacea. There must be funding and training of

Kids draw out the smiles By Romy Stephens and Mitchell Clarke With many people stuck indoors and unable to socialise due to Covid-19, children across the eastern suburbs are working to keep spirits high. Healesville's Ruby, 10, has been leaving chalk messages and drawings on the footpath in her street to brighten the day of those who pass by. Ruby's mum, Jessica, said her daughter was inspired by the Rainbow Trail Australia movement where people spread messages of joy and hope through sticking rainbows in their windows. Jessica said Ruby wanted to take it a step further by decorating the pavement. "It started off as something to pass the time during isolation but after so many elderly shared how much it brightens their day to see them, she keeps replacing after the rain or when they have worn off," she said. "I think it's a beautiful thing to do for the elderly in our community when there is currently so much sadness around the world." Ruby said she started drawing to make people feel happy and part of the community. "I hope it makes them know that we are all in this together and they are not alone," she said. "The elderly in my street may not have families to be isolated with. No one should have to feel alone during this scary time. "Stay safe, stay happy and try not to worry." Jessica said her daughter's actions have left her feeling incredibly proud.

"It's quite cute the impact that something so innocent has such a big impact on people," she said. "It does make me very proud of her, she does think of others which is very uncommon these days." Meanwhile, two siblings from Cockatoo brought a smile to the face of all who wit-
nessed their generous act of kindness. Eight-year-old Harper and five-year-old Arabelle decided to make free bunches of flowers for their community in the hope that their kind act would inspire others to also perform an act of kindness. The flowers were positioned out the front of their property on Bailey Road with the mes-
sage: "Help yourself to a bunch of flowers to brighten your home. All we ask is that you pay it forward and perform a random act of kindness to someone else and help spread the love." "We wanted to do something kind for people," Arabelle said. "We thought it would be nice to make people happy and brighten up their homes," Harper added. Their proud mother, Lisa, said the initiative came about after hearing stories of random acts of kindness happening around Australia. "We teach our children the importance of kindness and compassion so when we see our children enthusiastic and wanting to give back to the community, it makes us very proud parents," Lisa said. "The world is going through a dark time at the moment, and we thought we may be able to bring a little bit of lightness to someone's day and smiles to people's faces." The flowers were quickly snapped up by passerby's and the act of kindness proved successful. "We've had a constant stream of cars stopping, people walking by and collecting a bunch, and even neighbours taking flowers," Lisa added. "I also received a message from one of the mums from school with a photo of the flowers on her kitchen bench and this message 'They have really brightened up our home. Just what we needed'."
Bins collected during Covid-19, but position’s important Residents are being encouraged to make their wheelie bins as accessible as possible on collection days, with kerbside bin collection changing to minimise the potential spread of Covid-19. Yarra Ranges Council Mayor Richard Higgins said that waste collections would continue, but the way some bins are collected will be altered during the Covid-19 situation. “Our contractor collects thousands of bins every day and we’ve previously been able to grab some wheelie bins by hand if they couldn’t be reached by the automatic arm such as when cars are parked in front of bins,” Cr Higgins said. “However, we’re doing everything we can to reduce any possible risk of transmitting Covid-19 and that means we can’t collect bins by hand and bins we can’t reach with the automatic arm will have to be left behind. “We’re asking our residents to work with us on this and to avoid parking in front of bins on collection days. “If you’re a resident and know your bin gets parked in front of often, putting your bins at the base of your driveway is a good way to ensure we can reach it. “For people looking for a park - if you see a wheelie bin on the kerb, please give it plenty of room so we can get to it easily.”
Cr Higgins said he wanted to reassure community members that waste collection would continue in the municipality. “Rest assured that bins are still being collected, recycling is being processed and green waste is being turned into mulch for farms and community open space,” he said. Vulnerable residents with special collection agreements - such as having bins collected from a specific area - will not have any changes to their agreements. Cr Higgins reminded residents to not park in truck turnaround areas, such as the end of courts or truck turnarounds, on collection days. “Our trucks require a significant amount of space to turn around and navigate some of our narrow streets,” he said. “These turnarounds give them the ability to easily get through some tight areas - without them, trucks would have to reverse up to one kilometre at slow speed, with reduced visibility and a reverse alarm that no-one wants to hear first thing in the morning. “If you can avoid it, please don’t park in front of bins or in truck turnarounds.” For more information about Council services and Covid-19, visit www.yarraranges.vic. gov.au/Council/Coronavirus-Updates.

A challenging time for all As a community, we need to adjust to the new restrictions and implementations made by the government, abide by physical distancing and practise good hygiene procedures.
This is a difficult and challenging time for us all. I will continue to support and update you. cindy.mcleish@parliament.vic.gov.au.
CARTOON lessly to supply people with medical attention, answer questions and keep the community afloat. I know the situation can be stressful at times, however we need to remember we are a strong community, we are supported, and we will treat each other with respect always. We are all trying our best. As a state, we saw our schools shut their doors a week early and move to new types of learning at home. Term Two will begin on Wednesday 15th April. At this stage we are not sure whether students will be heading back to school or learning from home. The Victorian Chief Health Officer will advise on whether the transition to be flexible and remote learning and support should commence on the first student day of Term 2 closer to the time. During the holidays, schools are working hard to put learning systems in place, if schools do turn to flexible and remote learning for Term 2. Learning measures will be offered to all Victorian students and for those without internet access or a computer, 4G sim cards, hard copies of homework and devices may be supplied by the schools, depending on their access. The Government is keenly aware that learning from home may not be an option for all children and I would expect appropriate measures be put in place, so they are not disadvantaged. If you have difficulties, please let me know.

In the face of Covid-19, our local communities are experiencing social and economic changes that have altered life dramatically for us. Businesses are temporarily closing their doors, our leisure activities and socialising are curtailed, and people are staying home. This is undoubtably a challenging time for us all and puts pressure on the economy, families and the community as a whole. Restrictions have been put in place to reduce the spread of coronavirus and save lives and livelihoods. Please listen to them, abide by them and stay safe. Recently, parliament directed my office to close to public walk ins, however my team and I are still operating and will continue to offer support to you and answer any questions you may have. The situation is dynamic, and information is constantly updated. It can be difficult to keep on top of it, however I endeavour to update you with the most recent information and supply any facts I can in regard to businesses and social restrictions, government financial support for businesses and individuals, schooling and more. Supporting local business is crucial in keeping our community functioning during this challenging time. The Yarra Ranges is built on supplying freshly farmed produce, quality eateries, entertainment and booming tourism. While our food producers are still supplying wonderful produce, our eateries and tourism industry are struggling. I encourage you to buy from local cafes and stores when possible. Cafes that are able to, are supplying takeaway options. The staff at your local supermarkets are working around the clock to supply services and goods to the community.

AFL Outer East is ruling nothing out when it comes to what a condensed 2020 season could look like should football and netball return later this year. Operationally, those including region general manager Aaron Bailey aren’t afraid to look outside the square if it means devising a plan that could see a return to the field and the court this year. And they’re working with their clubs every step of the way. For now, of course, there are much more pressing issues at play than the bounce of a ball as the world continues to come to grips with the Covid-19 pandemic. Bailey was also quick to emphasise that the health and wellbeing of the people involved in the AFL Outer East community are priority number one. But the possibility remains that Australia’s favourite winter sports will return at some stage in 2020, and those at AFL Outer East head office are making sure they’re prepared in case that eventuates. The Mail understands a discussion document has been drafted and sent out to all AFL Outer East clubs, with their responses due on 14 April. In the document, AFL Outer East outlines a range of proposed structures for just what 2020 may look like. Clearly, a return to play this year is anything but guaranteed, given the great unknown surrounding Covid-19. But make no mistake - if AFL Outer East football and netball can return in a safe environment, it will. It’s understood the mental health benefits for locals in clubland are a significant motivating factor behind the AFL Outer East’s detailed plan. The competition has the ability to trade through 2020 without a season - given its strong financial position - meaning money won’t be a driving factor in the decision-making process. That said, if a return to play does eventuate, it will only be in the case of each Outer East club’s financial viability. The Mail understands that if the green light for resumption was given for 1 June, an AFL Outer East season could start on 20 or 27 June giving the clubs three to four weeks to prepare. There could then be five weeks available all the way up until the end of October to push the season back, if required - given the cricket-free venues available at Healesville, Beaconsfield, Alexandra, and Outer East’s Kilsyth home base. The preference is still to finish in September, but the aim is to have eight to 10-round seasons for each division - allowing for an even amount of home and away games. It’s believed the Outer East season could potentially start as late as 1 August, if it comes to that. Nothing is being ruled out at this stage - even the possibility of an AFL-style 16-minute plus time-on system for each quarter of footy played, in case of a drastically-reduced pre-season. There could even be a round-robin system for pre-season games the week before the season’s potential start - using venues with multiple grounds and courts. Financially, there’s a significant push to lower operating costs for clubs - including the potential decrease in affiliation fees and salary caps. It’s understood that a significant reduction in competition salary caps is part of the proposal, which mirrors the messaging at a statewide level. Significantly, two different options have been proposed for the structure of the 2020 Outer East season - should it begin. The first uses the current divisional model, with each club playing its divisional opponents once. The fixtures would provide an even number of games, with local derbies used for the extra games to balance out the calendar. Under this model the season could start as late as 1 August, with the fixture subject to club consultation. But the second proposed option is more out of left field. It would involve Outer East clubs being split into conferences and this concept would almost certainly create added interest - given the local derbies and cut down in travel between clubs. If crowd restrictions of, say, 500 people remain, there is a proposal to have football and netball played at alternate venues, but this
The AFL Outer East competition could look very different if the 2020 season gets underway. 198315 Picture: ROB CAREW concept would provide a home and away fixture and a full slate of premiers throughout the grades. An intriguing by-product would be the development of the 2021 Premier division - based off the 2020 results. There’d be a three-week, top four finals series with finals held in conferences, allowing for a wide range of clubs to host finals games. The ‘home final’ concept - common in local cricket - would come into play in this model, with clubs with venues not suited to senior finals given the option of hosting women’s and veterans competition finals instead. The conference model in ‘Option B’ is fascinating, and is based on travel, local rivalries, previous years’ performances, netball, the under-18s, junior netball, the state of the player transfer market, and a balance of venues being able to host major events. Of course, the structure will be heavily-reviewed by the Outer East clubs and is obviously subject to change, with the draft proposal of conferences creating the following intriguing, mouth-watering divisions: Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Narre Warren, and Pakenham. Healesville, Mount Evelyn, Seville, Wandin, and Woori Yallock. Emerald, Olinda, Officer, Monbulk and Upwey Tecoma. Belgrave, Berwick Springs, Gembrook Cockatoo, Powelltown, Warburton Millgrove and Yarra Junction. Alexandra, Broadford, Kinglake, Yarra Glen, and Yea. Women’s football could use a five or six club divisional model across multiple divisions with the flexibility of having alternative fixture days - be it mid-week, Friday nights, Saturday nights, or Sundays. There would be a top-four finals system, with the grand finals to be played in conjunction with the veterans’ competition. The under-18 football and under-age netball would be graded, with the five to six club per division model utilised for a home and away season. It would align with senior play as much as possible, and also have the flexibility of alternative fixture days if needed. It’s thought that the veterans’ competition would include either seven or, potentially, five rounds, but it could also have the option of playing a grand final - paired with the women’s competition - between the top two sides. Reserves football could potentially be shelved for 2020, depending on club feedback. The option also exists to run a reserves competition featuring the clubs that could realistically field sides. Delving further into the netball, the Mail understands a proposal exists to run a summer competition if the traditional winter footballnetball season couldn’t get underway. The ‘Summer Blitz’ could be held over eight or nine weeks, with clubs competing in their current divisions. Each week would consist of two rounds per club against opposing sides, with game times consisting of two halves. While netball is traditionally graded each year based off clubs’ senior football performances, AFL Outer East has proposed a crossdivisional finals series in the Summer Blitz whereby the top four of each division could compete on one, blockbuster grand finale day. When each passing day brings with it far more questions than answers for everyday Aussies, AFL Outer East moved to assure its clubs and people that football and netball will always be there for them when the Covid-19 pandemic has eased.

Black Spur works There will be no halts to tree removal works along the Black Spur during the school holidays due to the Covid-19 pandemic. VicRoads had initially planned to stop works along the road during the holiday period but said it is now important to continue and complete essential works for the safety of those who use the road. Since starting on 16 March, VicRoads has safely removed 34 trees along the Black Spur with 64 still to come out, and an additional 28 needing to have large branches pruned. These tree removals followed a series of
serious incidents including a fatality, and is considered essential, given an arborist assessment identified that these trees needed to be removed as soon as possible. With a range of restrictions now put in place to limit the spread of Covid-19 and save lives, the agency is looking to press on with tree removal works while it still can. The revised program means the Black Spur will be closed between 9.30am-3.30pm on the following days: Monday 30 March - Wednesday 1 April Monday 6 April - Thursday 9 April
· ·
· Monday 13 April - Thursday 16 April · Monday 20 April - Thursday 23 April · Monday 27 April - Thursday 30 April VicRoads will provide an update of how the works are progressing in two weeks. While the road has been closed for tree removal, work has also begun on motorcycle safety improvements including the extension of a safety barrier at a high-risk location near Dom Dom Saddle. For more information, visit the VicRoads www.vicroads.vic.gov.au and go to Planning and Projects.
Speedster tears up the Healesville track Henessey Venom took the opportunity to show his speed at Healesville’s greyhound track on 30 March. The greyhound won the race in a time of 19.51 and now has 21 wins from 45 starts. Henessey Venom’s Grantville trainer, Kerry Houlahan, said she couldn’t be happier with the result. “I’ve got about 13 greyhounds in work and 30 in the kennels and Henessey Venom is probably at the top of the tree,” she said. Ms Houlahan also enjoyed success with So Much Mojo taking 1st place in a time of 17.11 and youngster Majestic Mojo coming in 3rd. Greyhound racing is one of the few sports that is still ongoing throughout the state. Healesville’s greyhound track continues to race on alternate Monday, as well as every Friday and Sunday. Greyhound Racing Victoria’s Greyhound Racing Integrity Unit (GRIU) has initiated numerous changes in line with social distancing protocols to help combat the spread of Covid-19.

Horse Girl a galloping success Horse Girl Starring Alison Brie, Debbie Ryan and John Reynolds Rated MA15+ Horse Girl is a well-paced, confronting psychological drama co-written by and starring Alison Brie. Sarah (Brie), an introverted young woman, begins to suspect she’s a clone or an alien abductee after a series of strange occurrences. The film’s first act subtly plays with tone, delivering deadpan humour and slightly stylised characters. This mildly Lynchian sense of unreality makes Sarah’s theories about cloning and aliens feel more plausible. The narrative steadily develops Sarah’s suspicions through eerie clues, such as sleepwalking, lost time and bizarre dreams. Sarah’s mental state deteriorates as her obsession deepens, and her family history of mental illness both amplifies our sympathy toward her and challenges our belief in her story. Horse Girl is a harrowing depiction of mental illness, driven by a staggering performance from Brie, but the ending is strikingly optimistic. Not only is the ending an elegant, surreal collage of the film’s narrative and visual elements, but it carries a powerful note of ambiguity: either Sarah’s beliefs are vindicated, or she withdraws into a comforting delusion. Charming and disquieting, Horse Girl is an enthralling character drama, and is available for streaming on Netflix. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Cricket season at an end By Anthony Sequeira Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Yarra Valley Cricket Association season was cut short, meaning the table topping teams would be crowned premiers and the presentation night would have to be reduced to a simple email. But worry not as it matters less that you got there than it matters how you got there and as far as premiers go the Yarra Valley saw some dominant teams this season. In Strachan Shield the Yarra Junction Eagles lifted the flag as the best team in the Yarra Valley. Hot on the heels of Wandin up to the Christmas break, Yarra Junction put on an unbeaten run that saw it catapult into top spot and end up a game clear of the Bulldogs. Yarra Junction’s depth in both batting and bowling meant there was always another challenge for the opposition and the side thoroughly deserves to be named as the cream of the crop in the Yarra Valley this season. Following in the lead of their 1st XI the Eagles also lift the RAFT 2-day flag. The Nightingale brothers led the way with bat and ball but a complete team allowed Yarra Junction to finish well clear at the top of the ladder as they found answers to every challenge thrown at them this season. Meanwhile, in the most closely contested of the grades, it was Warburton-Millgrove that was crowned premiers as it found a way to take top spot in the dying stages of the home and away season. Led by the experience of Mick Walker, Warburton’s young side did enough when needed to claim the all important top spot come the end of the season. The young players wearing premiership medals will no doubt become local legends in
their own way in years to come. In one-day grade, Hoddles Creek’s unbeaten season rightfully ended with being crowned premiers as no side managed to come close to its dominance this season. It bowled out its nearest rivals, Poweltown, for 87 early in the year and Yarra Glen for 49 to show that as a batting heavy side, even its bowlers were a class above. In the Yarra Valley’s team of the year this season, every DJSS team was represented in the squad of 12. The YVCA team of the year is as follows: Adam Waixel-Gruyere 220 runs @22, 7 wickets Joshua Bromiley-Wandin 304 runs @33.78 Andrew Cowan-Yarra junction 325 runs @40.63 Tim Thorne-Wandin 500runs @83.33 Ash Hamer-Healesville 431 runs @35.92 9 wickets Matt Tilney-Gruyere 219 runs @21.9 23 wickets @ 14.43 Nick Bark-Yarra junction 211 runs @26.38 10

Cowan to claim top spot. VJ Haag medal - Brad Nightingale, 21 votes. After a quiet start to the season Nightingale dominated the middle of the season with two five wicket hauls and plenty of wickets in between to be crowned the RAFT best player. He chased down David Marshall in the last two rounds as well as the chasing pack of Carl Dikschei, Ray Turner and brother Josh Nightingale. In the RAFT 1-day grade the best player medal went to Jordan Birnie, 26 votes. A hard hitting all-rounder, Birnie hit the second most runs in the grade while also taking 14 wickets showing his all-round talent. Four best on ground performances were enough to see him beat Josh Sharpe and teammate Clint Sharman. Senior averages for this season are: DJSS Batting: Tim Thorne, Wandin 500 runs @83.33 Bowling: Kevin Bomford Yarra junction 24 wickets @10.29 RAFT Blue Batting: Ray Turner Yarra Junction 308 runs @61.6 Bowling: Scott Fawdry Healesville 23 wickets @9.09 RAFT Gold Batting: Stuart Parker launching place 342 runs @68.40 Bowling: Adam Dunn Woori Yallock 24 wickets @15.21 One day grade Batting: Paul Osborne Yarra Junction 319 runs @159.50 Bowling: Darcy Andrel poweltown 18 wickets @9.94
