Treasured gifts By Romy Stephens Members of the Mt Evelyn RSL were left feeling “pleasantly surprised” after recently being gifted numerous rare World War I objects by a local family. The objects, donated by Glennis Ellis and her children, Rob and Vicki, included numerous items that belonged to Private Robert Ellis. Robert’s son and Glennis’ husband, Russell, kept the items for years before Russell passed away on Anzac Day last year. Glennis said the family decided to give the “treasured” objects to the Mt Evelyn RSL so they would be appreciated by the public and looked after for years to come. “There are quite a lot of returned soldiers up here from all of the wars and they might be interested in it,” she said. “We thought we’ll do this while we can and let people appreciate it.” The objects donated included an original sketch drawn by Private Robert Ellis, while he was serving as a 19-year-old in France with the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). Also donated were two pencil sketches drawn by a German prisoner of war and an original RSL badge with only two figures (a soldier and a sailor) - nowadays the badge has four figures. Local military historian Anthony McAleer said the items were “fascinating and quite rare.” “The drawing of the shelled out church in Proyart gives you some insight into the destruction that took place in the village, that was the scene of some heavy fighting in 1918,” he said. “The portraits by the German prisoner of war are very rare, I’ve never seen anything like this, and it is quite amazing that the family was able to preserve them.” Mt Evelyn RSL president Roger Boness said the items would be proudly added to the RSL’s collection.

But the whole committee was there, I felt really important,” she said. “I came home and my husband’s ashes are

in a box and I patted the box. “I just would like to thank the RSL properly for being so excited about having these things. I didn’t expect it but apparently it means a fair bit to them.” Robert Ellis was born in 1899 and grew up in South Melbourne before enlisting in the AIF at age 18. After his training he was sent overseas as a reinforcement for the 6th Battalion. He arrived in England on 14 November 1918 and was stationed in France that same year. Robert returned to Australia on 25 September 1919 and after the war he turned his talent for drawing into a career as a signwriter. He died in 1957.

Hot spot ‘wrong’: Mayor By Mitchell Clarke Isolating the entire Cardinia Shire as a Covid hot spot has brought “a lot of confusion and uncertainty” and was wrong, according to mayor Jeff Springfield. Cardinia Shire Council mayor Jeff Springfield welcomed an announcement by Premier Daniel Andrews on Thursday 25 June which identified Pakenham as a high risk suburb. “In my opinion, it was wrong to label the entire local government area as a hotspot from the start,” he said. “It’s not specific enough to address the problem that we’re trying to work towards. I’ve been talking about the wide brush stroke of Cardinia since Monday morning. “We do have an issue of Covid-19 within the community but we need to focus on where these transmissions are occurring, so to nominate an entire LGA is like searching for a needle in a haystick and we really needed to be specific.” Pakenham will be targeted in the State Government’s suburban testing blitz, after recording high rates of recent community trans-

mission, as well as the risk of undetected coronavirus circulating the community. Cr Springfield said the targeted testing and information program for areas with increased community transmission would provide further information for local residents and businesses. “Council will work closely with health authorities to support residents and businesses within any area in which additional testing and community engagement is undertaken,” he said. “Council’s message remains clear - the top priority is health and safety. We urge our community to follow the health guidelines, undertake testing, and help slow the spread for the health and safety of our community.” The mayor added that the clarity in information would be welcomed by Cardinia Shire residents, particularly those living in townships with no recorded cases. “There has been a lot of confusion and uncertainty because we haven’t had specific enough information to our residents,” Cr Springfield explained.

The announcement has also been welcomed by the Eastern Dandenong Ranges Association (EDRA), which promotes business and tourism in the region. EDRA chairman Garry McGough said labelling the entire shire as a no go one zone would take away about 75 percent of the weekend trade in small towns. “If Gembrook or Emerald was listed as a hot spot, you simply wouldn’t get a soul up here,” Mr McGough said. “Weekends attract people to come up to the area in their cars and on their bikes ... so this certainly wouldn’t have been good for our small businesses, who are already struggling.” David Farrelly, who created the Cardinia customer awareness network (CAN), said the label had potentially hurt local businesses even further. Cardinia CAN - which was born in the age of Covid-19 - now has 1000 members sharing information about local businesses and shops across Cardinia. “It’s created a boost in consumer confidence because more people have been able to

get the items they need and want,” Mr Farrelly explained. “Both Ben McDonald from A Guide to Cardinia, and Michelle Green from Eat Drink Cardinia have both been doing an amazing job in similar promotions of local business, shops and produce. “Our community will be so much better off in its economic recovery and growth of employment if more people just did a little more shopping locally, and specifically with small business and independent local shops.“ Mr Farrelly is concerned that struggling businesses, especially those based in traditional tourist locations, will now face another set back. “I think the entire community is understandably disappointed in the recent political targeting of Cardinia Shire in relation to Covid infections,” Mr Farrelly said. “The infections are isolated to Pakenham, as the Premier confirmed, which leaves the rest of our huge Shire unaffected by infection, but still obstructed by government restrictions and rhetoric.”

The final bell rings for Lee By Romy Stephens

Menzies Creek Primary School business manager Lee Jenkins has retired after 20 years in the Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS role. 210359

Menzies Creek Primary School has bid farewell to one of its finest, with the school’s business manager of two decades retiring on 26 June. Lee Jenkins has been a vital part of the primary school’s community for the past 20 years. She began when the school was much smaller, hosting 145 students. “The buildings weren’t as extensive and there was less staff. This school has been able to grow, but still retain a small community feel,” she said. “There were no after school care programs or kindergartens. We did have a canteen, which was run by volunteers. “Over the years I have seen the buildings and grounds improving with caring maintenance, mostly achieved by our popular working bees which always combined to create family community days at our school.” Ms Jenkins’ education journey started when she decided on a career change, after having worked from home as her kids went through high school. With a background in finance, she began volunteering at the local Kallista Primary School. Within a month, she was offered paid work. Ms Jenkins got her first job as a business manager at Chandler Primary School, despite having no experience in business management, before moving to Eumemmerring Secondary College. Once a job opening came up at Menzies Creek, she said it was a perfect opportunity to work closer to her home in The Patch. And since starting at the school, she has never looked back. “I have always felt extremely proud of our

school staff, their passion for going above and beyond for their students,” Ms Jenkins said. “I was also quite proud of being called ‘the face of the school’, which was over my first 15 years at Menzies when I ran admin and reception on my own. “I will miss seeing and interacting with the children of all ages and all the wonderful parents, especially the mums who have shared their lives with me - be it a happy event or a sad one.” It took about 12 months for Ms Jenkins to make the tough decision to retire. She said she hoped to now spend more time with her three children and seven grandchildren, and also do some travelling around Australia when the Covid-19 pandemic calmed down. Ms Jenkins may now be looking forward to retirement, but said she would never forget her wonderful memories from Menzies Creek Primary. “It is my second family. I have shared new babies coming into our school community, then commencing school, graduating from Grade 6 and returning as young adults to visit our school,” she said. “Sharing happy times and tragedies of this community has added greatly to my life. “Not to mention staff weddings and sharing in the exciting times of their babies being born. “I have been in a position to never be taken for granted and have been made to feel a valuable member of this school community.”

Units are ‘groundbreaking’ By Romy Stephens A new specialist accommodation building in Mount Evelyn is expected to change the way future housing models are delivered for people with disabilities. The Snowball Avenue building was launched by Housing Minister Richard Wynne on 17 June. It provides five fully accessible and independent units that will be staffed 24 hours a day. The building was developed through a partnership between non-for-profit organisations Anchor and Melba Support Services as well as Active Housing and Hooke Architecture. Melba Support Services CEO Glenn Foard said the building would not only help five residents live better lives, but also inspire change within the disability accommodation model. “As confident as I am that it will lead to great lives for those five individuals, I’m equally confident it can actually change the way that we think about providing housing and support to people with a disability,” he said. “It’s actually providing people with options and choices that haven’t existed previously, to live in your own home with the necessary 24/7 support as required. “It’s actually going to change that way that future housing models are delivered for people with disabilities and that’s why it’s really exciting to be part of.” The building’s architect, Geoff Hooke, said this was one of the finest disability accommodation buildings his company had designed. “This is groundbreaking from our perspective because it’s five independent living units all under one roof with a staff sleepover 24/7,” he said. “Every unit has its own kitchen, this kitchen is a fully equipped kitchen. They have their own washing machines and drying machines

ed to make the very best of the beautiful site that we have here. “I hope that in the future we might be able to do something similar in another area with our wonderful partners.” Meanwhile Mr Wynne praised the efforts of Anchor, Melba Support Services and Active Housing. “The housing model is a great example of how the market is changing to respond directly to the changing needs of people. Residents here will have the support, privacy and spaces they need to live a life that they value,” he said. “The design of the new homes reflects the

rights of people with a disability to have homes that respond to their individual needs and preferences. “It allows for privacy and dignity which of course is incredibly important for people’s empowerment.” Active Housing will be the Specialist Disability Accommodation provider and tenancy manager for the five people that live at the Snowball Avenue building. Melba Support Services will be the service provider and staff the premises 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while Anchor will remain as the landlord.

Giving best of care Valley,” Karina said. Hayley and Kailea set up a GoFundMe page, which helped raise $204 in just a few weeks. “It’s exciting, you check it and see the money has gone up and it’s nice to see,” Kailea said. The pair said they were motivated after the class sat down together to learn about the Stable One success story of James, a man who had been living in his car in Chirnside Park. “It gave us motivation because he’s a local to our area. Everyone goes to Chirnside Park, so we wanted to help give so that less people are in that situation,” Kailea said. Fellow students Mon and Skye believe it’s important to have new clothing donated rather than second-hand clothes so that someone can have the joy of opening a new item or ripping off a label, something they say can easily be taken for granted. Stable One Yarra Ranges is a charity made up of several local churches, who assist the homeless community in the area with temporary supported accommodation. Over the last three years they have supported 90 people in need. For more information about Stable One, visit https://stableone.org. To contribute to Cire’s GoFundMe, visit https://gf.me/u/x8rmix

By Jed Lanyon A group of students from Cire Community School’s beauty class have been busy collecting donations and funds for those in need in the Yarra Valley community. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the group of young women had been learning how to perform manicures, while then visiting aged care facilities to volunteer those services to elderly residents. “We take those manicures into areas that will help people’s self esteem... The girls chat away to them, they paint and file their nails and will give them hand massages,” said Megan Small, lead teacher at Cire Community School. But as they could no longer visit the residents who are in the highest risk category for the coronavirus, the beauty class has turned their attention to helping the homeless through community organisation Stable One. The students set up an online fundraiser while collecting an enormous amount of items for donation including handbags, shoes, backpacks, new clothing and more. “The program here at Cire is an amazing program for people who haven’t thrived in mainstream schools,” Ms Small said.

Fatal crash Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding a fatal collision in Gembrook after a Cranbourne woman died as a result of the Saturday 20 June incident. Investigators believe a Honda Jazz was travelling along Gembrook Road about 12.50pm. Police allege the driver lost control of the Honda which crossed onto the wrong side of the road and collided with a Holden station wagon. The driver of the Holden, a 60-yearold man from Cranbourne, and his passenger, a 55-year-old woman from Cranbourne, were taken to hospital with serious injuries where the woman later died. The driver of the Honda, a 20-yearold woman from Narre Warren, and a passenger, a 17-year-old woman from Berwick, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Budget focus on recovery By Romy Stephens Yarra Ranges Council has released its budget for the next 12 months, with a major focus towards helping the municipality recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. With the draft budget now open for community consultation, the Star Mail has prepared a rundown of some important changes featured within the 2020-21 budget. Rates will increase, but there will also be a rate credit A major point of debate within this budget was the implementation of a two per cent rate increase alongside a Covid-19 Rates Relief Assistance Credit. This would see rates increase by two per cent, in line with the State Government’s rate cap, but also, $3.3 million invested to refund the rate increase back to ratepayers. At the 23 June Council meeting, Cr Jim Child said this initiative would allow the council to continue to invest in services, programs and building works while supporting people who are doing it tough during the pandemic. “While we are increasing rates at two per cent this year in line with the State Government rate cap, we will be giving ratepayers a Covid-19 rates relief assistance credit for any increase in their general rates from last year,” he said. “To put that simply, this means that you won’t pay any more in general rates than you did last year and somehow, households will even pay less.” However Cr Fiona McAllister said for her “the sticking point remains a rate increase.” “I appreciate we’re seeking to counter that with a rebate in the next financial year and whilst I strongly support that initiative and think it was a very creative and appropriate option to consider, ultimately, in my view it applies a double rate increase the following year, or has the capacity to do that,” she said. “We have massive unemployment, a global pandemic, a massive economic downturn and it’s unprecedented. “To think that our residents and our community will be ready for an increase of four per cent next year doesn’t sit right with me.” It is understood that if ratepayers were provided a zero rate increase, the council’s total revenue would still remain the same. This means that when that revenue is split across all ratepayers some would still see an increase in rates, while others would see a decrease based on the movement of their property value. Mayor Richard Higgins said the rate option proposed ensured “not one ratepayer pays another cent more than they paid last year.” “I take on board what Councillor McAllister said, that next year it may amount to four per cent. We don’t know what the rate increase (will be) next year, there may not be a rate increase next year and that will only make it a two per cent, we don’t know,” he said. “If we actually use the method that Coun-

Helping businesses get back on their feet. cillor McAllister says and go to zero, there will be people in the community that will have to pay more in their rates compared to last year and I’m not prepared to see that happen. “I’d rather set it up so that nobody pays more at this stage and we’ll deal with next year when we actually know what is happening with Covid-19.” A new $4 million Covid recovery fund A major feature of the revised budget is a dedicated Covid-19 Community Recovery Fund of over $4 million to provide specific assistance to targeted groups, businesses and activities. Consultation is still taking place to understand where this money should be directed, however, it is understood it could potentially help those renting or in public housing. Cr Tony Stevenson said it’s expected more information on this recovery fund would come to light over the next month. “We’re working with officers and gathering feedback from community members as to how to best deploy those funds to help people through this recovery phase and help them get back on track,” he said. Capital Works investment The budget has proposed an allocation of over $75 million to capital works projects including

roads, drainage, footpaths, community facilities, off street car parks, parks and open spaces and buildings. It’s expected the capital works would allow for the continued development of high quality infrastructure and the creation of employment opportunities. Expansion of hardship policy The council has expanded its rates financial hardship eligibility, so any ratepayer in Yarra Ranges can apply for assistance, through a payment plan or deferring their rates payments, for up to a year. Some things will remain the same Yarra Ranges Council has allocated over $90 million to ensure the ongoing delivery of its over 120 services to the municipality. Council has also made a decision to hold some fees and charges at 2019-20 levels to ease the burden on the community due to Covid-19. Waste charge will increase The current focus on Covid-19 may have seen many forget about the Victorian waste crisis that plagued headlines last year. The effects of this will now hit close to home, with a five per cent increase on waste collection charges proposed.

Supporting local business Yarra Ranges Council will continue providing funds to support local business through its Be Kind Yarra Ranges campaign. The council has also changed its procurement process, so staff arranging quotes for services must get a quote from a local provider wherever possible. An important note Something that rate payers should be aware of is how the formal process of property valuations might impact their rate bill this year. According to Yarra Ranges Council, property valuations are strictly done on 1 January, meaning this year’s rates notices would be based on pre-Covid property values. The Council stressed that not much can be done about the mechanism used for property valuation, but any impact in valuations through the coronavirus pandemic is expected to be captured in next year’s rates. Submissions on the budget close at midnight 22 July, with a Delegated Committee of Council to hear submissions at a public meeting on 28 July.

Firewood collection season closes, fines now apply This year’s autumn Firewood Collection Season will close across the state at midnight, 30 June. Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) chief fire officer Chris Hardman said there will be penalties for those who fail to follow firewood collection rules from 1 July. “Under Victorian legislation, firewood can only be collected during the firewood collection seasons,” he said. “Limits are in place to prevent households stockpiling large volumes of firewood from public land and denying others a supply.” The firewood collection seasons are autumn, 1 March-30 June, and spring, 1 September-30 November. Any information the community may have about the illegal removal of firewood for sale can be reported to DELWP on 136 186. Concession card holders who rely only on buying firewood for home heating may be eligible for the non-mains energy concession.

Victorians on low incomes (both concession card and non-concession card holders) who rely on buying firewood and have experienced

unexpected financial hardship may also be eligible to apply for the non-mains utility relief grant of up to $650 to help with firewood costs.

A person may apply for the grant if they have an amount owing for a previous firewood purchase, or if they will not be able to afford their next firewood purchase. Information on eligibility for the NonMains Utility Relief Grant Scheme can be found at: https://services.dhhs.vic.gov.au/ utility-relief-grant-scheme-non-mains For more information on available financial assistance, community members should phone the concessions information line on 1800 658 521. FFMVic supports domestic firewood provision through the creation of firewood collection areas on public land and a list of these areas can be found at www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood During the designated collection periods an individual can collect a maximum of two cubic metres of firewood in a day and may collect up to 16 cubic metres per household per financial year. FFMVic is urging those who collect firewood before the season ends to be considerate, use common sense, follow physical distancing requirements and stay safe. mailcommunity.com.au

Community recovery key in Council Budget Council has outlined its projects and goals to help guide community recovery from COVID-19 in its annual Budget and Council Action Plan for 2020-21. The draft 2020-21 Council Budget, Council Plan and LongTerm Financial Plan (2020-21 to 2029-30) are now open for community consultation until midnight, Wednesday, 22 July. The budget has been developed around supporting the community to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic with a number of signiicant measures introduced to assist all community members, including assisting property owners with rates. While rates will increase at two per cent, in line with the State Government rate cap, we will be giving ratepayers a COVID-19 Rates Relief Assistance Credit for any increase in their general rates from last year.

The draft 2020-21 Budget includes spending on a range of services including:

$3.9 million for libraries $2.0 million for public pool maintenance $7.7 million for aged and disability services $3.9 million for immunisations and Maternal and Child Health services.

In the Capital Works Program, Council will spend:

$13.6 million on roads $3.1 million on footpaths $1.1 million on drainage $21.9 million on community facilities.

Community members are encouraged to read through the documents and share their thoughts on our website.

Put simply, this means you won’t pay any more in general rates than you did last year, and some households will pay less.

Submissions on the budget documents close at midnight on Wednesday, 22 July, with a Delegated Committee of Council to hear submissions at a public meeting on 28 July 2020.

By increasing our rates and issuing a credit, Council can continue to invest in services, programs and building works to beneit the community in the long-term, while supporting community members doing it tough this year.

Any submitter can nominate themselves or another person to speak to their submission at the meeting if they choose. The budget will then be revised to capture any feedback, before returning to Council before the end of August.

The draft budget also features a dedicated COVID-19 Community Recovery Fund of more than $4 million which will be used to help the community get back on track.

For more information, visit yrc.vic.gov.au/budget2020 to have your say.

In addition to focusing on providing relief to the community due to COVID-19, this budget will also continue to deliver on the 120+ services and initiatives that are contained in the 2017-2021 Council Plan.

Covid cash for connecting By Romy Stephens Community Houses in the Dandenong Ranges have received a funding boost from Cardinia Shire Council amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Cockatoo Community House, Emerald Community House and Emerald Centre for Hope and Outreach (ECHO) were listed among groups that received funding under the $1.6 million Community and Business Coronavirus Support Package. Cockatoo Community House coordinator Gabby Higgins said part of the funding would go towards continuing a community newsletter that had restarted during the pandemic. “With the need to share information in response to Covid-19, there seemed to be a real urgency to get the word out and connect people that may be less connected via phone and via the internet,” she said. “The first issue was printed with the support of the RSL and then we got the grant funding so that will support some of the costs of printing and distributing with the aim to come out every month. “It’s another way of creating connection within the community.” Ms Higgins said funding would also go towards providing additional food for its Food is Free program. The council’s Community and Business Coronavirus Support Package allowed eligible organisations to apply for a Community Connections Grant (up to $2000) and Community Relief Provider Support Grant (up to $5000). Emerald and Cockatoo Community Houses received both grants, while ECHO received the Community Connection Grant. Cardinia Shire Mayor Jeff Springfield congratulated the successful grant recipients and thanked them for their continued service to the community. “We are so grateful for the continued ser-

For more information and to apply for funding, visit www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/covid19grants.

Positive purpose By Jed Lanyon

Healesville’s Grand Hotel has fitted out the pub’s exterior with several posters in a bid to lift community spirit. Pedestrians and drivers passing the iconic hotel can easily spot the signage, which has been created by locals to share messages of support for those doing it tough. Healesville resident and pub-goer Kersten Gentle said the idea came from her daughter Nikita, who pitched the idea to the business owners of the hotel. “We recognised how community minded Lisa and Tom are and my daughter said, ‘why don’t we do some posters to brighten up the place as people are walking’ and the response from people has been amazing,” Ms Gentle said. “This town has gone through a lot in the past and I know that if the community comes together now, we will make sure that everyone gets through this. And that’s what these posters are about; making sure that everyone comes through the other end of this pandemic.” Business owner Lisa McKay-Campbell invites locals to design their own A2 posters to display across the pub as they enlist the services of Breen Printing to create their positive posters. Relatives of Ms McKay-Campbell, who were in Mallacoota at the time of the recent bushfires were involved in a similar feat paying respects to the nation’s firefighters. The idea initially started as a home-schooling art class activity but is now open for people of all ages with time to spare in isolation. “One of the biggest problems with the pandemic is the effect on people’s mental health, so if these posters can put a smile on someone’s face then the Grand is doing a good job ... To me this is the perfect canvas for our town,” Ms Gentle said. Ms McKay-Campbell said that some of her

The Grand Hotel is now operating a drivethrough takeaway meal service for locals looking for a restaurant quality meal without having to leave the comfort of their car. “It’s something that we would never had or-

dinarily done ... It’s the only thing we can really do,” Ms McKay-Campbell said. “You drive through the bottle shop and they pass it to you through the car window. You can literally come through in your pyjamas.” As part of their takeaway menu, the hotel has also started cooking regular Sunday roasts for customers.

We have cleared our catteries multiple times and have been able to spend more time providing the individual care and rehabilitation to the dogs who need it most. In an incredible gesture of support, our community has risen to the challenge and offered their homes to animals in need, building and strengthening our foster care community.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is an irrepressibly charming and surprisingly poignant comedy musical following Icelandic musicians Lars (Will Ferrell) and Sigrit (Rachel McAdams) as they compete in Eurovision against all odds. Ferrell and McAdams have delightful chemistry as a sweet, close couple driven apart by ambition. The plot deftly balances the external conflict of Lars and Sigrit striving to win Eurovision with the internal conflict of Lars getting his priorities straight and Sigrit wishing for more out of life, and features some engaging subplots involving Lars’ disapproving father, Sigrit’s handsome Russian friend Alexander (Dan Stevens) and the elves of Icelandic mythology. The Story of Fire Saga has quirky characters

and vibrant art direction captured through steady, documentary-like camerawork. This film will be a treat for Eurovision fans, as it has cameos from numerous past contestants, and several of the rousing musical numbers reference famous past performances, including a fun riff on infamous Finnish metal band Lordi playing in full demon makeup in the 2006 contest. I don’t normally enjoy musicals, but this film’s musical numbers are necessarily organic to the plot, and I was grinning from ear to ear by the end. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is a joyful, touching and well-structured tribute to the gaudy excess of Eurovision, and is available for streaming on Netflix. - Seth Lukas Hynes

After a big month of running, George Dyer now hopes to complete his 100th marathon at the Melbourne Marathon later this year. 210344

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

George’s ‘crazy adventure’ By Romy Stephens As the month of June comes to an end, so too does one of the most eventful four weeks of George Dyer’s life. Over 11 days this month, George has run over 560km to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. He took on a 100km run at Knox Athletics Track on 7 June and recently completed a ‘Great Train Run’, which saw him run the entire length of the metropolitan train network. The effort was inspired by the early passing of George’s mother, at age 60, from breast cancer. George decided to dedicate the month of June to fundraising, with his two daughters, Ashley and Taylor, who dyed their hair pink. “With mum passing away from breast cancer 27 years ago, we’ve done bits and pieces of fundraising. The Cancer Council, the Mother’s Day Classic, all those sorts of things over the years,” George said. “This is the first time we fully immersed ourselves in the whole thing.” Since beginning the campaign, the Ferntree Gully-based family has raised a staggering amount of money, sitting just under $12,500. But George said along the way, the journey became so much more than the dollars raised. “We started to see in ourselves that it wasn’t just about raising money it was about getting awareness out there,” George said. “When people first saw the concept that I was going to run 10 days and 467kms on all the train lines they would think I’m mad and they started praising me. “But I wanted to point out to people that it wasn’t about me, I was doing something for a cause.” That cause was helping achieve zero deaths to breast cancer by 2030 and ultimately, a cure. George also said he wanted to emphasise the message to get checked for breast cancer early, something he said his mother had failed to do. “Early diagnosis is the key at the moment until they find a cure,” George explained. “Trying to get out the message that, whether you’re male or female - because we had somebody who donated who said he was a survivor of male breast cancer - if you can at any stage, any doubts get straight off and get tested.” Upon reflecting on the effort, George said it was “therapeutic” and brought back many memories of his mum. mailcommunity.com.au

“I still can’t believe that I ran for 11 days in the middle of winter in Melbourne and didn’t get rained on,” he said. “Somebody took care of the weather, I assume it must have been her.” He also said it was an uplifting experience thanks to the outpour of support and stories from others. “It was a crazy adventure, totally different, that most people don’t think of doing,” George said. “We found it very rewarding but very humbling because you hear so many stories. Even on day one I bumped into a Councillor over in Hobsons Bay and she had her own personal battle with breast cancer.

Some more runs for breast cancer are also on the table, with running the country train lines and from Melbourne to Sydney both possible options. But for now, George is happily reflecting on his family’s efforts over the past month. “It’s been a journey, it’s been an experience for us. It’s really taken us to different places than we thought we were going to go,” he said. “We actually do feel like we’ve made a little difference. Hopefully somewhere, somebody has seen this and has decided to go and get themselves checked and maybe save their life. “We’ll never know, but we hope that maybe we’ve made a difference, somewhere along the line.”

“I felt privileged in that they wanted to talk about it and I felt like I was actually doing something for them in that sense.” Having completed 97 marathons, George said he now hoped to complete his 100th at the Melbourne Marathon later this year - permitting Covid-19 restrictions would allow for it. But that’s not all the avid runner has in his sights. “I’ve got some more plans, some more craziness down the track,” George said. “I want to do marathons in 50 states in America, I’ve got 23 states to go. “I think I’ve done 17 countries, I want to do 50 countries.”

‘Ridiculous’ panic buying By Jed Lanyon Common sense has gone out the window once more as some Victorians have reduced themselves to panic buying from supermarkets amidst a spike in Coronavirus cases. Coles and Woolworths have already started the process of applying purchase limits on certain stock nationwide as customers flocked for the toilet paper and other basic items again. Prime Minister Scott Morrison once again called for calm in Australia’s supermarkets, calling the renewed panic buying ‘ridiculous’. “I’m sure it will pass as it did last time and there’s no need for it and I think today it’s important to reassure people the outbreak doesn’t mean there’s a problem. The response to that outbreak is strong which means Australians can have confidence.” Mr Morrison’s comments resemble those he spoke in March when he strongly condemned panic buying habits as ‘un-Australian’. “Stop hoarding. I can’t be more blunt about it. Stop it. It’s not sensible, it is not helpful. And I have got to say it is one of the most disappointing things I have seen in Australian behaviour in response to this crisis.” Coles Group CEO Steven Cain said the

health and safety of customers and team members remains Coles’ top priority. “Following discussion with the Federal and Victorian governments as well as other retailers, Coles is implementing temporary purchase limits for our Victorian supermarkets to help us manage demand for key staple items,” he said. “We ask that customers continue to shop normally so that everyone can have access to the food and groceries they need.” Mr Cain said Coles team members were working hard to provide a safe shopping environment and keep shelves stocked for customers. “We ask that customers continue to treat our team with respect and understanding and follow any requests or signs in store to keep a safe distance.”

The supermarket shelves emptied in Healesville again.

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GREAT

Fitness has a new vibe Emerald based business Vibe Health and Fitness reopened after a three-month forced closure on 22 June. Owner Tiffany Smith said the whole team and the community had been very excited for this day. “My team has worked very hard to implement new safety and hygiene measures during the closure,” Tiffany said. “With just half a days’ notice on 22 March that we had to close at midday the 23rd, it was a big shock to the system. “Vibe Health and Fitness is like a church for those not necessarily religious and I felt so bad when people were crying at the front door at midday on the 23rd March. “Whilst we lost 100 per cent of our income for three months, we realised it was not the money that mattered during Covid-19, it was missing the relationships that our community fitness centre has built.” Tiffany said they had prepared themselves for the day but it was still very difficult. “We loaned out some equipment to members and started recording classes for members,” she explained. “Vibe Health and Fitness has a strong following from ‘seniors’ and we felt it very important to keep them engaged online and not isolated. “We did not charge for any online classes just wanted to keep the community moving. We were fortunate enough to be able to put seven staff on JobKeeper payments, and whilst tough for us personally for a short time it was a great incentive from the government. “During the forced closure we have done a lot of maintenance, repainted and recarpeted, which all the staff helped with,” Tiffany said. “It

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deﬁnitely the best part of my job.” No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

AFL Outer East is targeting a senior football season start on 1 August with one division. 197752

The return to play is near By Nick Creely AFL Outer East will forge forward with its plans to get a 2020 season underway, with the league confirming it will proceed with a Saturday, 1 August start for senior football and netball. After extensive consultation with the senior clubs, there is set to be one senior/reserves football division in 2020, with Premier, Division 1 and Division 2 not going ahead as per usual. AFL Outer East has confirmed - after a club presidents meeting on Saturday in Kilsyth, as well as the club meeting on 23 June - that there are enough confirmed clubs to make up a single division despite a raft of clubs opting out of the season over the weekend over concerns of managing crowds, volunteer strain and community health. In its ’Guiding Principles for a Return to Football And Netball’ document previously sent to clubs, AFL Outer East stated that participation this season is voluntary, and clubs will not be penalised if they opt to sit out the season due to Covid-19, while it will also offer modified participation and club fee structures. The league will announce which clubs will make up the division this Friday, 3 July, with the understanding that there is likely to be a mixture of clubs from across the competition competing this season. The proposed season structure - which was announced back on 5 June - is unlikely to change, with a top-four, even home-and-away games, and a three-week finals series with neutral venues removed, but the league will publicly announce more on this on Friday, inmailcommunity.com.au

cluding providing fixtures once team submissions are entered. Clubs that have already publicly announced they won’t be fielding senior football teams in 2020 include: Beaconsfield, Doveton, Cranbourne, Kinglake and Gembrook Cockatoo, while the Mail understands other league powerhouses won’t feature at senior level in 2020 and instead focus on junior sport. AFL Outer East’s commercial and operations manager Cam Hutchinson praised the clubs for how they’ve handled a difficult situation, and said that they will continue to work with clubs as they continue to launch towards a season start. “It’s been really positive - we had a meeting on Tuesday with our clubs, and we’ve spent the best part of the last four days communicating with the clubs and seeing where they were at, and each club has made a good, informed decision” he told the Mail. “And they’ve all made an informed decision about whether they think they’ll play or not - (on Saturday) we met with clubs interested in playing, and put a few options up, looked at seniors only with extended squads, looked at under-21s, but the group of clubs we’ve got together are confident they’ve got really good numbers to have seniors and reserves. “All of the clubs have come together with their committee, players, coaches, and worked out what was best for their club which is great - we’ve made the decision to not hold on to the season, but we wanted the clubs to really drive that. “But we wanted to listen, and we feel we’ve got a good outcome. We’ve done everything in

a really united way, no one has broken away it’s been a really positive outcome for our competition.” Netball is also locked in for a season start on 1 August and won’t be impacted by whichever way the senior football season pans out, with the structure for the 2020 campaign set to be confirmed once team submissions are entered to the league. Like senior footy, it is optional for netball teams to take part in the season. In terms of the women’s football and vets football competitions, both are locked in for a return, with the women’s league set to start on 1 August, while the vets’ start date will be confirmed after consultation with clubs. Under-18s football - which will be played under a divisional model - as well as junior football and netball is locked in to begin on the weekend of 25 and 26 July. Hutchinson said the position of AFL Outer East hasn’t wavered throughout the entire process. “Outer East’s position the entire time has been that if the guidelines and the protocols from the government provide the opportunity to play, and we have a strong willingness to play, we’ll continue to work towards playing until it isn’t possible anymore,” he said. “As a region we have been proactive, constructive and positive and it is terrific that all clubs have come to considered and informed positions, that is best for them and their community. “(And now) we’re sitting here at the end of June with eight to ten clubs really keen to play, so we’ll work towards that.” AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria crucially

released their much-anticipated Return to Play protocols and Return to Community Netball Guidelines throughout the week, which don’t mention any specific crowd limits - seen as the biggest factor when it comes to a season start - with attendance at community football matches “strictly compliant with government directions and restrictions”, while spectators should be in groups of no more than 10 people in open, outdoor venues and must adhere to the 1.5 metre social distancing. With a handful of clubs within AFL Outer East coming under current Covid-19 ‘hotspots’ and a current spike of cases in the state, Hutchinson said that the league will continue to work hard with those clubs concerned who are set to compete this season despite the concerns around the impact it could have on game day. “AFL Outer East is working with local councils regarding local Covid-19 ‘hotspots’ and will continue to work diligently with those clubs who are impacted by these developments in their local area,” he said. “Moving forward we will monitor all information from AFL Victoria, Netball Victoria and government agencies and will assess at key junctures as we approach our start dates. “We’ll need some luck obviously over the next two weeks anyway - with this spike, they’re doing a mass testing and we’re confident they’ll rein it back in. “We continue to urge all Outer East participants to practice good hygiene and adhere to all government and AFL Victoria guidelines to help reduce the spread of Covid-19 in our community.” Tuesday, 30 June, 2020

Kick-start grants for sport By Jessica Anstice Yarra Ranges and Cardinia athletes are set to have more opportunities as local sporting clubs share in $10,741 of State Government grants. The grants are a part of the government’s Active Club Grant funding to deliver new sports programs. With junior sport competitions kicking off and non-contact sport resuming for adults as Covid-19 restrictions ease, many residents are wanting to stay healthy and get active again. Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said the funding would enable local sport clubs to provide more opportunities for Cardinia and Yarra Ranges residents to improve their health through playing sport. “This funding will make it even easier for Cardinia and Yarra Ranges residents to get active and reconnect with others in their community while keeping safe from coronavirus,” she said. “Local clubs and associations play an important role in our community. I’m encouraging Cardinia and Yarra Ranges residents to support their local club and give sport a go. “Playing sport is great for our physical and mental health. Joining a sports club is also a great way to get involved with your community, have fun and make new friends.” VicHealth CEO Sandro Demaio said Active Club Grants will support sporting clubs to encourage locals to enjoy better health through community sport. “As our daily lives and routines continue to change, it’s vital we continue to be physically active and socially connected, and joining a local sports club is a great place to start,” Dr Demaio said. “We know sports clubs are the heart and

$3000 to introduce three new female teams for junior girls aged under 10 to under 18. This will complement the first team introduced in the 2019 season.Emerald’s Monarch Calisthenics College will receive $2000 to offer programs and teams for children aged three to 17 years, for a community that has never had a calisthenics club. Cockatoo and District Bowls Club will receive $2864 to introduce Barefoot Bowls twilight events to increase the participation of young people and women, developing their

skills in a semi-competitive and entry-level program. Gippsland Storm State League Netball Club in Pakenham will receive $2,877.50 to introduce development clinics to increase fitness and netball skills of females aged 14 to 20 years old, and minimise the numbers of girls that are dropping out of the sport.
