Bird book is top class By Romy Stephens A local photographer is offering families the chance to observe and learn about birds in their backyards while in isolation. Selby’s Kathie Thomas has lived in the Dandenong Ranges for over 10 years and is a keen nature photographer. She released Words on Birds earlier this year and said it would be a great book to help educate children and entertain families stuck at home. “Initially I thought it might be for my grandchildren but when I shared photos of the first print copy on the Hills and Dandenongs Facebook group, many people were interested and wanted to order copies for their children or grandchildren,” she said. “With our current restrictions it is good to hear and see that families are learning together about our local birdlife in their own gardens and reserves close by.
Kathie Thomas with her book, Words on Birds.
“At the back of the book is a table so that the children can record what bird they’ve seen, where and when.” Mrs Thomas said she began creating the book in February while unwell (not Covid-19 related) and needing to keep her mind focused on something else. “I must have been thinking on birds and my grandchildren when the thought came to me to write a book for children,” she said. “I gradually went through my photos and started sorting them into alphabetical order by bird’s name - started with over 50 birds but knocked it down to just 40 and began writing what I knew about them, and researching to confirm my thoughts were factual.” It’s been over 10 years since the grandmother of eight has published a book and this is her first aimed towards children.

Wine will be fine By Romy Stephens A Yarra Valley wine body is confident the region’s industry will remain strong, despite concerns a large percentage of Australia’s wineries could be lost due to Covid-19. In an ABC report on 17 April, the wine industry’s peak national body, Australian Grape and Wine, warned coronavirus could wipe out about 30 per cent of wineries across the country. Wine Yarra Valley president and Hoddles Creek Estate owner Franco D’Anna said that figure was “highly speculative”. “There might be an impact where people
can’t go forward or don’t have the income,” he said. “We’re lucky with government support, with JobKeeper, it will help a lot of small businesses survive. “To put a figure on how many businesses are going to go broke, we don’t know what their financial position is so it’s really hard to say.” Mr D’Anna acknowledged that local wineries were suffering as a result of the pandemic, but said he was confident the industry would bounce back. “What people don’t understand is, going on reports, wine retail is up between 30 and
40 per cent,” he said. “In one way, one door shuts but it’s an opportunity for some of our businesses to look at other ways to get more penetration into the market. “I think we’re in a great position to get over this. “I wouldn’t call our industry fragile, it’s been thriving over the past five years.” Numerous wineries across the Yarra Valley have been forced to close their cellar doors, rely on online sales and think of new ways to do business since the Covid-19 outbreak began.

Desks join study fold By Romy Stephens
Police said the male driver intentionally drove through the roundabout, before returning and doing further damage.
Roundabout ruined By Romy Stephens A driver that destroyed a community garden bed on the main roundabout in Monbulk has been identified and charged. Police said the male driver intentionally drove through the roundabout, in a white 4WD ute, about 1.50am on 18 April, then returned 15 minutes later and did further damage. The roundabout garden bed was organised by the township group and installed by students from Monbulk College in October last year. Sergeant Luke Schroder from Monbulk Police said the driver was identified through his number plate and CCTV footage, after initially evading police. “The driver basically just drove up intentionally onto the roundabout did a big burnout

tempted to intercept him ... There was no pursuit but he evaded the police.” On 21 April a 32-year-old Monbulk man was charged with the damage and other traffic offences, including driving while disqualified, and had his vehicle impounded for 30 days. He is expected to appear in court later this year. Sgt Schroder said plans to restore the garden bed were already underway. “I know there was a lot of anger in the community because the roundabout was finally looking good,” he said. “A couple of local community members have offered to come in and do some work and we’ve had plants donated already. “Anything we plant now is going to die over winter, so we might not replant straight away but we will tidy up.”
Guardrails to help prevent next tragedy By Jessica Anstice A guardrail will be installed along Paternoster Road in Emerald to prevent further loss of control and head-on crashes. After several serious car accidents along the Emerald road, Cardinia Shire Council identified it as a high priority for road safety improvements. The council was successful in obtaining $364,000 in funding for this project under the Federal Blackspot program. About one kilometre of VicRoads approved guardrail will be installed in various sections along Paternoster Road, between Bailey Road and Beaconsfield-Emerald Road. The major Cardinia Council road, which links Emerald and Mount Burnett, sees an average of more than 5000 vehicles per day and has a long history of serious collisions. Further to the east the road flattens, but still curves along the hilltop, which is lined with
A Melbourne business that was founded as a result of Covid-19 has donated a desk to every student at Heritage College Knox. Handy Desk was born after designers Jonathan Lawson and his brother Luke joined forces to create a simple desk for their children to use while learning remotely during the coronavirus pandemic. But the desk design they came up with was quite unique. “My wife came to me and said I need four desks and I said I’m not putting together four desks with an allen key,” Jonathan said. “Me and my family of four kids were having to home school so we, myself and my brother Luke, had the idea of doing this Handy Desk. “My brother said why don’t we do cardboard desks.” With both siblings already working for design consultancy Kube, taking the desk from an idea to an actual item was not difficult. And once word was out about the Handy Desk, it’s popularity skyrocketed. “People love it. We just started delivering from Monday because we had a massive backlog of orders,” Jonathan said. Jonathan said he decided to donate a desk to every student at The Basin’s Heritage College Knox to give back to the school that has supported his own family. “A couple of my kids go there and we love the school. It’s an awesome community down there we just thought it’s a great way of giving back,” he said. School principal Ross Melles said the desks will be very valuable as it’s important students have an isolated space they can use while learning remotely. “I’ve been quite constant in making the point with parents and kids that they need to be setting aside times in their week,” he said. “They need to be setting aside space, times when they relax, times when they work. “The desk enhances that by giving them a surface which literally depicts that idea of setting aside somewhere they can work.” The desk is made from cardboard, is 100 per cent recyclable, comes in a flat pack and is cost effective at $45.

Personal touch to Anzac By Romy Stephens and Russell Bennett An Anzac Day like never before was experienced on 25 April. Despite public dawn services and marches being cancelled due to Covid-19, local residents and RSLs conducted their own private services. Numerous residents stood out on their front lawn at 6am with candles and Anzac Day displays to commemorate the event. Meanwhile, a Wesburn family created a large Anzac Day mural in their hallway. Kathryn Barley said she decided to paint the mural with her daughters, Charlotte, Gracie, Matilda and Brimyn, to help make the day “just as special“ as always. The daughters outlined their own figures on the wall to create the silhouette of four soldiers. “I got to thinking we need to do something special, something that the girls will remember, a project we can treasure forever,” Ms Barley said. “Covid-19 is written in our hearts now, no matter how badly we want it to go away, we will never be able to forget this time.” The usual sea of faces was nowhere to be seen as dawn broke at Emerald on Saturday morning. Instead, some residents from nearby streets made their way out to the end of their driveways to pay their respects as The Last Post was played. Emerald RSL figurehead Peter Maloney led a condensed, yet still moving service while those around Anzac Place adhered to the physical distancing restrictions put in place. “We’ve just got to keep soldiering on,” he said, poignantly at one stage just prior to the service. “For those friends of Emerald who are out

Police tributes flow By Romy Stephens Tributes have flown across the Yarra Ranges in response to the tragic police incident that saw four officers killed in Kew. Local police stations, fire brigades and RSLs are among those who have flown flags at half mast today (23 April). It comes after four on-duty police officers were killed in a multi-vehicle collision on the Eastern Freeway near Chandler Highway just after 5.30pm on 22 April. Emerald police Sergeant Dave Calkin said his station, along with the whole of Cardinia Po-
lice, was "devastated about what's happened." He said the station had received overwhelming support and is providing support for members. "As a Sergeant at Emerald, I would like to thank the community who are showing their support," he said. "We are getting flowers and gifts at the police station...We are getting a lot of support from the community. "We've already spoken to members who are on duty. One thing Victoria Police is very good at is support, that's where we come together as family."
Mr Calkin said he expected most police stations across the state would fly flags at half mast in response to the tragic event. The investigation into the exact cause of the collision remains ongoing. Police have located the driver of a Porsche believed to be involved in the fatal collision. A male truck driver has also been taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Anyone who witnessed the incident or with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Yarra Ranges Council is pleased that short term accommodation providers, such as Airbnb, have changed their policy to not allow hosts to promote their premises in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic. The council wrote to the Federal and State governments on 7 April asking that they direct short term accommodation providers to stop the promotion of self-isolation packages. The council said the promotion of packages posed a risk to the community and the healthcare system, and didn't support the current direction from State and Federal Governments to 'stay at home'. Yarra Ranges Mayor Richard Higgins said there were only four reasons for people leave their homes under the current restrictions. "The only reasons that people should be moving around right now are for work and education, medical care, shopping for essentials or for physical exercise," he said. "Advertisements promoting unnecessary movement throughout Yarra Ranges have caused high levels of anxiety and anger amongst our residents who live near popular short term rentals. "Enabling this kind of activity confuses and undermines government messaging." Anyone concerned about people or businesses breaking the current lockdown rules should phone the Department of Health and Human Services hotline, on 1800 675 398.
Thank you to the essential workers for their incredible efforts during these unprecedented times. I thank those in the community who overwhelmingly are doing the right thing by staying at home. I know it is difficult, but we must keep at it to save lives.

Boost to the system Some doctors say you can’t increase your immunity. Here’s what we know strengthens the immune system. So, you’re mum at home and informed enough to know that you and your kids are unlikely to die from coronavirus but stress levels are high and uncertainty hangs in the air. It’s also been tricky to get out and exercise with your normal routine since you have now become a homeschooling parent. The big question is, how do I increase my body’s vitality and what the heck do I do if I get Covid-19? Firstly, let’s remember that your body has adapted to cope with a plethora of viruses, bacteria, and microbes that live on and in your body. Your immune system is well-equipped to fight infection and outcomes are better the more healthy your are. There are lots of well-researched herbs and nutrients that can reduce the severity and duration of colds and flu. Coronaviruses are common and have been around for a long time. At-risk groups include
Healthy
living Tim Howden
Paediatric Naturopath – Healesville those who have pre-existing conditions or are immune-compromised. So let’s take a look at what you can do. Your innate, T-cell mediated and adaptive immune response is dependent on an array of micro, macro, and contingent nutrients to function optimally. Any deficiency will compromise your immune response and ability to fight infection. Signs and symptoms of nutritional deficiencies should be assessed by a professional trained in Nutritional Medicine. In addition to healthy stores, endogenous production of nutrients in the large bowel is vital for healthy immune function.
This is why digestive problems can result in nutrient malabsorption and compromised immunity. If your stress levels are high, sleep is affected or exercise regime out the window, this will affect immunity making you more susceptible to cold, flu and other illness. In terms of boosting immunity there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Individual needs must be considered. And what to do if you get Covid-19 or another type of flu? Seek professional advice, isolate, monitor and convalesce. There are some excellent, well-researched herbs that can arrest inflammation, increase antioxidant levels and target viral replication. Symptoms should be treated vigorously and vulnerable organs and systems supported appropriately in order to avoid ‘post-viral’ fatigue conditions. I see this often and it’s extremely debilitating. It can be avoided and treated using adaptogenic and tonifying herbs. Now is a vital time to support your physical and mental wellbeing with caring, integrative, personalised natural medicine.

Financial help at hand TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH The response from both state and government to supporting businesses through coronavirus has been both swift and fair and it is good to see a bipartisan approach to this being employed as well (something it would be good to see more of when “normal” times return too). Although the financial measures have been well publicised, I thought I would summarise what is typically available for SMEs just in case you were not aware of these already: 1. Cash-flow Boost for Employers For the Jan-Mar quarter, the government is providing a cash boost for SMEs with a turnover of less than $50M and Not-for-Profits of up to $50,000 with a minimum payment of $10,000 for those companies that employ staff. The intent is to cover costs whilst revenue is down and is based upon the BAS PAYG bill. A second tranche of up to $50,000 (minimum $10,000) is available in addition for the Jul-Sep quarter. 2. 50 per cent Wage Subsidy for Apprentices and Trainees The government is keen to see that SMEs retain apprentices and trainees and hence will pay 50% of the apprentice’s or trainee’s wage from 1 Jan through to 30 Sept up to a maximum of $7,000 per quarter for SMEs with less than 20 full-time staff. 3. JobKeeper Allowance A flat amount of $1,500 per fortnight will be paid for each eligible employee to businesses that have reduced turnover as compared to the equivalent period last year, regardless of how much they earn so that each employer should receive a minimum of $1500 per fortnight. This payment applies to full-time, parttime and casual staff (provided they have been employed for minimum of 12 months as at 1/3/20) and sole traders and will be paid (and backdated) in May. 4. Instant Asset Write-off Increase The instant asset write-off has been increased from $30K to $150K for businesses with a turnover up to $500M for this financial year. It is expected to revert to previous levels effective 1 st July 2020. The intent is to encourage businesses to continue to invest and will enable SMEs to reduce tax liability. 5. Business Loan Guarantee and Repayment Deferral The Federal Government will guarantee 50 per cent of new (unsecured) loans issued by eligible lenders to SMEs with up to $50M turnover up to a maximum of $250K per borrower. Loans may be for up to three years, with an initial six-month repayment holiday and at minimal interest rates. Well worth using to pay off credit card debt and any other high interest loans you have.

Sharing words of wisdom By Romy Stephens The inaugural Yarra Valley Writers Festival will showcase a range of talent next month. While the event couldn't take place in traditional format, the virtual festival will see leading authors present from across the country, discussing topics such as climate, environment, family and writing. Among that list of talent is local author and PhD candidate Eliza Henry-Jones. Eliza lives on a quintessential farm in Silvan where she mainly writes young adult fiction while studying. "I used to work in the drug and alcohol sector. I have qualification in psychology and grief, loss counselling," she said. "My PhD is examining the relationship between trauma and landscape and how human trauma finds form in the landscape. "I did an honours year in creative writing literature and examining relations between bushfire trauma and fiction." Eliza has also written numerous novels, all of which revolve around the themes of grief and trauma. Her debut novel, In the Quiet, is a moving and uplifting piece about love, grief and the heartache of letting go. In 2017, she published Ache which tells the story of a girl who's life was ripped apart after being impacted by a bushfire. Eliza said her interest in bushfires, particularly, came from having her family live in fireprone regions. "My family have always lived in rural areas and I remember watching the fires in '97 being very close to my family's house," she said. "Even though I lived in the suburbs I was always very mindful of bushfires." Eliza said she is looking forward to discussing her experience with writing at the upcoming festival, particularly considering it is based

JobKeeper is a big help. Now, let’s help each other! Dear readers, The federal government has implemented the largest ever business support package in our nation’s history. It’s a big help. If JobKeeper helps you and your family, the best thing you can do to help yourself and other local families is SHOP LOCAL! Buying locally has an amazingly positive multiplier effect on the local community because your money keeps being reinvested by other local businesses and employees. It works like this. When you spend money (think JobKeeper, JobSeeker or other) you have a choice – you can either spend with a locally-owned business or with businesses owned outside the local area, via the internet or with multinationals. When you shop from out of town, your money leaves the local community and never returns. Gone, forever. But when you SHOP LOCAL, your money will be spent again – and again – and if we all do it, again - and again… in our LOCAL COMMUNITY. This is how we help our community stay strong. Let’s help each other with the government’s help from JobKeeper. For 110 years, the Star News Group has been proudly locally owned and we’re 100% committed to doing everything we can to support our local community. Please stay safe, and shop local.
Regards,
Paul Thomas Managing Director

KNOW YOUR LOCAL TRADESPERSON
Masters of upholstery Mount Evelyn Upholstery specialises in antique restoration, recovery and repairs for all types of furniture. Skilled upholsterer Luke Wilson prides himself on his workmanship. After more than 30 years in the industry, he has developed a long list of satisfied customers. The business services all kinds of furniture, including lounge suites, dining chairs, recliners, ottomans, bedheads, footstools and sofa beds. For the valued clients, there are thousands of quality fabrics from which to choose. Luke said he gained great satisfaction from completing a job and seeing the smile on his customers' face. Due to his many years of experience, and the time and level of care it took to complete many of his projects, the upholsterer said there was no feeling quite like seeing the completed project. He said that knowing you had used your own hands, and your hard-earned skills, to bring a smile to a person's day was what kept him in the business. "It's fantastic when furniture is restored to its former glory," he said. "Or to bring an old piece alive with a more modern look." With so much experience and so many projects under his belt, Luke is only too happy to offer advice and suggestions to his clients. Luke said his finished, refurbished works often became the centrepieces of many homes. On some occasions, these pieces could have sentimental value for families, which was why the time and effort was all worth the result. So, if there is a special piece that needs repairing or restoration, feel free to give Luke a call.

Eric Furby and Graeme Goller present a cheque for $3000 to Dave Grewcock from Monbulk Fire Brigade.
Geoff Petersen and Lloyd Iccarino.
Regional nod for Monbulk By Eric Markham During this season’s Eastern Regional Championships in March two Monbulk Bowls Club members were successful. Terry Wright playing in the novices event reached the final. After working his way through the early rounds he met fellow Monbulk bowler Darren Ward in the quarter final. In a close contest Terry prevailed 21-17. Terry then won the semi-final by three shots and came up against Lars Swart from Mulgrave
Country Club. The match was played at Mulgrave which gave Lars an advantage and he started the better of the two. Terry then found his rhythm and in a close contest just went down by three shots to be the runner-up in this regional final. Geoff Petersen had a great run in the men’s singles and reached the final eight. Geoff defeated Cameron Laird from Lilydale 25-22, then Ross Kelton from Mooroolbark 25-18. He then played John Dixon from Croydon and in a cliffhanger won 25-24.
Geoff then came up against Lloyd Iaccarino from Vermont South. The game see-sawed for the first half. Then Lloyd picked up a multiple to take the lead. Geoff re-focussed and managed to win a few ends, taking the scores to 22 shots all, in a game where the winner is the first to 25. Then it all came down to the last end. Lloyd put in a couple of close draw bowls. Geoff tried to knock them away but just missed. It was Lloyd’s match. It was a pressure match and the spectators had to acknowledge the high
standard of play from both bowlers. Lloyd subsequently went on to become the Regional Champion. Monbulk Bowling Club also conducted a special fundraiser on 27 January to help the Monbulk CFA after the horrific fire season. The funds came from bowlers who paid their fee of $10 which included a barbecue lunch, as well as the money from the wrong bias box which amounted to just over $200. The Monbulk Board then agreed to top up the funds to $3000.
