Targeting tourism By Mitchell Clarke A tourism campaign promoting the Cardinia Shire towns of Emerald, Gembrook and Cockatoo will be needed to attract people back to the region post pandemic, Gembrook MP Brad Battin said. The quiet towns at the top of the shire weren’t spared from the State Government’s six week shutdown targeting metropolitan Melbourne. The move has left local businesses and tourist attractions facing yet another period of hardship and uncertainty. Liberal MP Brad Battin said it was time authorities begun planning a way out of the crisis - to ensure businesses reliant on tourism could survive the economic rut. “This government has a responsibility they locked us down - so they need to make sure they have the money to reinvigorate our area and support as many local businesses as possible,” Mr Battin said. “Why on earth are places like Emerald, Cockatoo and Gembrook locked down when they’ve had no active cases at the time this has run? “We’re hearing from local people and businesses who are going to feel the pinch from this. They’ve already spent four to five weeks in lockdown, so another six weeks is going to have an absolutely detrimental impact.” Eastern Dandenong Ranges Association (EDRA) chair Garry McGough said as difficult as it was locking down the region, it was a necessary move. “They’ve fought their way through the first tough lockdown and here we are again. Economically, this has put us right on the back foot again,” Mr McGough said. “This is a very serious virus and it’s just unfortunate we have to go into lockdown. I sympathise with the business owners but we

have to look at both sides of the equation. If we weren’t locked down, it’d be open slather.” EDRA vice-chair Lynne Trensky estimated over 30 percent of business in the region is tourism driven. “We are experiencing strong growth in the hospitality and retail sector in Emerald, Cockatoo and Gembrook, and it is hard to determine the long-term effect this will have on business even without the pandemic we are currently facing,” Ms Trensky said. “We are fortunate to have a strong, loyal and connected community that has been support-

RON AND ANDREW KING

55 Years after opening, Ronald King Mensland in Lilydale is closing the door. Mr Ron King, in 1965 made a brave move to lay everything on the line to go out on his own and open a Menswear store. Over the past 55years Ronald Kings has consistently held a great range of fashion and classic styles for every menswear clothing need. Ronald Kings has witnessed many changes and styles in the retail market along with the many changes in Main Street Lilydale. It has been over 20 years since the Matches Surfwear arm of the business was opened and with the top Surf Brands, this gave Lilydale a huge boost to what is available for the young shoppers. With this strange period that society is currently going through due to COVID-19 the Lilydale store has continued to focus on quality, service and style and has great selection to choose from. But time has come, with the end of the lease looming, Ron’s son Andrew has decided to concentrate more on their Croydon store. Andrew has worked between the two stores since 1971 and owned the business since 1995 and says the legacy his father “of good old fashioned service” has stood the test of time. Many long-time customers are always asking of Ron’s welfare, and Ron (nearly 92) can be seen most mornings still doing the deliveries between Croydon and Lilydale. Andrew says that Ron has never lost interest in the business and keeps him on his toes but understands that all things must come to an end. The King Family are ever grateful to wonderful staff that have worked at the Lilydale store over the many years, along with the loads of loyal customers that have shopped with them. Andrew assures us that it is business as usual for a long time to come at their Croydon store but thinks it’s time for him to smell the roses. So if you want to come to pick up some great savings in Menswear and Surfwear at their end of lease clearance, don’t miss out. See the full page advertisement in this paper.

Emerald Men’s Shed president Russell Jolley and Peter Maloney with a pen pal letterbox.

Search is on for pen pals By Romy Stephens Elderly residents within the Dandenong Ranges are being encouraged to get involved in a pen pal initiative with local primary school students. The Hills Hub has teamed up with the Emerald Village Association and Emerald Primary School to have students and elderly residents swap letters during the second round of Covid-19 lockdowns. The initiative will see an older person in the hills matched with a Grade 5 student from Emerald Primary to exchange letters over six months, writing one letter per month. Emerald Village Association’s Peter Maloney said it will be great for participants to get back to “old fashioned letter writing” during a time when it’s needed most. “It’s an old fashioned idea which we are modernising a little bit and putting it into the context of the environment that we’re living in today,” he said. “Getting back to the basics of writing and using their imagination, writing stories about what’s happening around their life.” About 75 students from Emerald Primary School have already signed up to be involved, and the search is now on for a similar number of residents from the hills. Funding from Cardinia Shire Council will help supply stationary and postage stamps, while the Emerald Men’s Shed contributed letter boxes for students and the local post office will help with distribution. “It’s going to be quite the community project,” Mr Maloney said. “This is just another positive way to spend some time and get to know one another through letter writing.” An afternoon tea will be held at the Hills Hub towards the end of the project to introduce pen pals and celebrate the program. “We’re going to invite the whole lot of them, including the teachers and students, into the hub to meet each other for the first time and put a name to a face,” Mr Maloney said. “It may end up developing a lifelong relationship, who knows.”

We’re back in lockdown By Romy Stephens Yarra Ranges Shire joined other metropolitan Melbourne regions and Mitchell Shire in another Covid-19 lockdown period, commencing last week. Premier Daniel Andrews announced that Stage 3 restrictions would be reinforced for six weeks across these regions, starting midnight 8 July. The announcement came after Victoria recorded a further 191 cases of Covid-19 on 7 July, with 37 cases linked to outbreaks and 154 under investigation at the time. The state’s highest single-day increase since the pandemic began was then recorded on 10 July with 288 confirmed cases. “It’s clear we are on the cusp of our second wave and we cannot let this virus cut through our communities,” Mr Andrews said. “For six weeks, and if you live in these areas, there’ll be only four reasons to leave your home. “Shopping for food and essential items. Care and caregiving. Daily exercise. Work and study - if you can’t do it from home.” The shires of Yarra Ranges, Cardinia, Nillumbik and Knox were listed as regions included within the metropolitan Melbourne areas in lockdown. On 13 July Yarra Ranges recorded four active Covid-19 cases (31 in total), Cardinia and Nil-

coming weeks,” the statement said. “Police will be intercepting vehicles at random to ensure they are complying with the Stage 3 restrictions. Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology will also be used at these sites.” Police said that over the weekend, several motorists were stopped in regions such as Yarra Junction and Coldstream due to licencing and registration offences. The lockdown has also forced local restaurants and cafes to return to takeaway and delivery services only, beauty and personal services to close, entertainment and cultural venues to close and local sport to stop. All Year 11 and Year 12 students in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire have returned to school for Term 3 as planned, along with special schools. However, daily temperature checks have been introduced for students, with the State Government providing more than 14,000 noncontact infrared thermometers. For students Prep to Year 10, school holidays have been extended by one week, with remote and flexible learning to recommence from next week. Victorians living in metro Melbourne and Mitchell Shire are also being recommended to wear face masks when leaving their home and social distancing is not possible.

Aged care concern By Jed Lanyon and Romy Stephens Two aged care homes in Healesville are undergoing contact tracing following positive Coronavirus tests by staff members. Both Aurrum Aged Care and Holmwood Aged Care were listed as having confirmed Covid-19 cases on 8 July. The Department of Health and Human Services clarified the two incidents were not linked to the same person. “If the same person worked at the two (aged care facilities), they would have been listed together ... These are two distinct cases,” a spokesperson from the DHHS said. Holmwood Aged Care told the Star Mail that they were advised a nurse had tested positive to Covid-19 on 7 July and that the nurse had last worked at the location on 26 June. Holmwood confirmed that the nurse also worked for a neighbouring aged care home. Holmwood Aged Care CEO Andrew Meek told Star Mail that all residents and staff were tested for the virus following the initial positive case and was pleased that no further trace of the virus was found. “We have been preparing for what occurred last week since early March. Despite all the preparation it was a highly confronting situation,” Mr Meek said. “There needs to be recognition for our team, who despite the potential dangers, volunteered to work extra hours and shifts to care for the residents. Our residents were incredibly understanding. We received many messages of support from relatives and the local community. This helped to maintain our spirits. “A special thank you is warranted to the nurse who advised us as soon as she could of her positive test result. This enabled us to respond quickly and reduce the potential for possible further infections.” It is understood the Aurrum staff member was asymptomatic but got tested for Covid-19, as a precaution, before advising Aurrum of the positive test, also on 7 July. A relative of an Aurrum Healesville resident, who did not want to be named, said their dad visited their grandmother on 8 July but wasn’t told of the confirmed Covid-19 case. “He went up this morning and he was just presented with the normal access that they’ve

Picture: ROMY STEPHENS been displaying symptoms of the illness when they were last in contact with any other team member or resident at Aurrum Healesville,” he said. “We are currently working with the Vic Public Health Unit and the Federal Department of Health and Human Services who have advised there is no further action required at this time. “I can confirm that Aurrum has always maintained strict Covid-safe practices including temperature checking of all persons - team and visitors - and broader Covid screening for everyone who attends at Aurrum Healesville.” Mr Rutherford said the aged care would continue to take precautions such as observing residents’ blood pressure, temperature and pulse. It is understood the worker has gone into isolation and there are currently no respiratory illnesses on-site at Aurrum Healesville.

Lilydale Police is investigating the disappearance of a well known and much loved sheep-dog in Yering. Michael Apostoladis told Star Mail he last saw his Maremma sheep-dog, Sheepis, when he took him for a walk. Investigators have since been told Sheepis disappeared from his paddock on Melba Highway between 30 June and 2 July. Mr Apostoladis said there had been no update on the whereabouts of Sheepis, who he fears was stolen. “You get the odd sighting of dogs but it’s not him ... He has no reason to leave his paddock, he’s been there for 12 years now. “I’d like to have him back. He looks after the land and he can get very anxious.” Mr Apostoladis said he had spent hours searching for Sheepis and that he was “ecstatic” to learn about a large following on social media, who lent their support. Mr Apostoladis said other recent reports on social media of sheep-dogs going missing sounded “a bit suspicious” to him. “Apparently they are worth a bit of money ... Some people can take them to look after their own flocks.” Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at ww.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

The Victorian Government announced $20 million in funding will go towards upgrading several regional roads across Victoria, but Evelyn MP Bridget Vallence said it’s “a slap in the face” for Yarra Ranges residents, who won’t see any of their roads upgraded under the new program. New Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Ben Carroll announced the funding will upgrade safety at twenty precincts across regional Victoria under the ‘Safe Travel in Local Streets’ program that will work with councils and communities to improve high-risk local roads. Geelong, Bendigo, Warrnambool, Portland, Port Fairy, Mildura, Shepparton, Mooroopna, Traralgon, Morwell, Moe, Warragul, Drouin and Sale are all set to benefit from the funding. The safety upgrades include building new roundabouts, traffic islands, bicycle lanes, speed humps, raised intersections, pedestrian crossings and is expected to be completed by mid-2021. “This new program is part of our strong investment into reducing road trauma across regional Victoria - and is about making sure we improve safety across the entire network, including council roads,” Mr Carroll said. But Ms Vallence, who has been advocating for safety upgrades to several local roads, said the Yarra Valley is being ignored. “It’s outrageous that not one cent of the $20 million in new road funding has been allocated to improving the safety of any roads in the Yarra Ranges. Not one cent,” said Ms Vallence. “I’ve been pleading with the Roads Minister, on behalf of the community, for years and years for urgent roads funding, particularly for the Warburton Highway, Maroondah High-

Cardinia’s nine new Wards By Mitchell Clarke The boundaries of Cardinia Shire Council’s nine new wards - which will be represented by just one councillor - have been publicly released. A representation review by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) recommended the council operated under three wards with three councillors - but the commencement of the Local Government Act 2020 meant the electoral structure will be shifted to single councillor wards. Currently the shire is divided into three wards - Central Ward with four councillors, Port Ward with two and Ranges Ward with three councillors. From the next general council election in October this year, the new wards will be: Ranges Ward: Gembrook, Cockatoo, Emerald and Avonsleigh. Beacon Hills Ward: Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield Upper and Pakenham Upper. Bunyip Ward: Nar Nar Goon North, Maryknoll, Tonimbuk, Tynong, Garfield and Bunyip. Westernport Ward: Nar Nar Goon, Officer South, Cardinia, Dalmore, Kooweerup, Bayles, Caldermeade, Lang Lang, Catani, Yannathan and Heath Hill. Pakenham Hills Ward: parts of Pakenham. Toomuc Ward: parts of Pakenham. Officer Ward: Officer. Central Ward: parts of Pakenham. Henty Ward: parts of Pakenham. To determine each ward name, Cardinia Shire Council worked alongside local historical groups to ensure each ward reflected their area. Current Central Ward councillor Michael Schilling said the decision to move to single councillor wards had both positive and negative attributes.

· · · · · · · · ·

He said there were a few schools of thought on the concept, with some believing it could increase individual councillor accountability, whereas others fear it could decrease diversity of representation. “I think it will certainly increase individual councillor accountability, and in some respects, make for a more predictable workload as each councillor will be accountable to their own ward,” Cr Schilling said. “Single councillor wards will certainly be challenging in our more rural areas, with a single councillor having a large physical area to travel across and represent. In terms of the growth corridor, it’s hard to say. “Another potential downside to the new structure is the lack of collaboration between councillors, resulting in a lack of broader council advocacy.” Deputy mayor and Port Ward councillor Graeme Moore said he believed councillors will be held to account under the new boundary system. “It’s going to make councillors accountable for their own ward area,” Cr Moore said. “If you’ve got four councillors, two of three people might be picking up the slack for the others, so this will help ensure every councillor is active in their community.” Cardinia Residents and Ratepayers Association president Gloria O’Connor believed the single wards would largely benefit the community. “I am inclined to think that considering the urban tight population growth areas and the limited development - as yet - in the rural locations, the proposed single councillor wards are likely to be more satisfactory and efficient,” Ms O’Connor said. Voters must confirm they are enrolled on either the State electoral roll or their council roll before 4.00 pm on Friday 28 August 2020.

Positive purpose By Jed Lanyon

12443017-SG10-20

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

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.

A ‘health hub’ for youth By Romy Stephens A new health hub for young people is set to open in Lilydale next month.The Integrated Youth Health Hub (IYHH) will provide young people throughout the Yarra Ranges - as well as their families and carers - access to free or low cost health care and social services. It will be run by numerous organisations including Inspiro Community Health Service, Oonah Health and Community Services Aboriginal Corporation, Eastern Community Legal Centre, Anchor and Cire. The Knox headspace satellite in Lilydale will also work in collaboration with the hub. Casey MP Tony Smith said the new hub will provide vital services for the entire eastern community. “The Lilydale-based hub, along with a separately funded headspace satellite service, will deliver vital health and support services for young people aged between 12 and 25 living in the outer east, the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges,” he said. “Having fought for improved youth health services, it’s great to know the hub and headspace satellite service will soon get underway and be making a difference in people’s lives.” The Federal Government will provide $4.5 million in funding over three years for the hub. Young people and their families will be able to access a range of health and wellbeing activities, mental, physical and sexual health services (including access to a general practitioner), alcohol and drug services and social services such as housing and legal assistance. A Youth Reference Group will oversee how services are delivered and evaluate hub activities. Oonah CEO Anne Jenkin said embracing and supporting young people and celebrating culture was key to the organisation’s identity.

Yarra Ranges youth ambassadors celebrate the funding announcement of the Integrated Youth Health Hub in March last year. “We’re pleased to be bringing that expertise and approach into the hub development with our partners,” she said. Eastern Community Legal Centre CEO Michael Smith said young people need to feel they

belong and can trust the services they access. “Once they have that, they usually don’t want to retell their story to lots of different professionals,” he said. “The hub gives us a real opportunity to

wrap health and other supports around them, with confidentiality and care.” The hub will be located in Lilydale with outreach services in Belgrave, Healesville and Yarra Junction.

“Please continue to follow the state guidelines and stay at home for the health and safety of yourself, your loved ones and the wider community. “Council is following and supporting state health requirements, and we express our sincere gratitude to all of the health and support teams working so hard in the best interests of our community. “We are also grateful for all community members who have been tested, and to everyone who continues to do the right thing by following the guidelines that are in place. “Please continue to take care of yourselves and each other.” Cr Jeff Springfield Mayor, Cardinia Shire Council

The survey will be done by helicopter using a thermal imaging camera and take place towards the end of July.

Aerial survey to map deer impacts By Mitchell Clarke The Cardinia Deer Management Coalition (CDMC) will conduct an aerial survey of the Cardinia Creek catchment as part of an investigation into the local deer population. The coalition - which was formed in 2018 and is made up of concerned landowners - was successful in obtaining $22,000 from a Federal Government environment wellbeing grant. The funding is set to go towards conducting an aerial survey of the Cardinia Creek catchment - which encompasses a fairly large area including the areas of Cardinia Reservoir, Narre Warren East and Pakenham Upper. CDMC president Mike Hall said deer numbers have increased exponentially to the point of destruction to the environment. He said their presence also caused serious financial hardship to farmers and were an ever-increasing threat on the road. “We would like to be able to help the local landowners better in their efforts to control deer and save their farm incomes and the environment,” Mr Hall explained. “This survey may give the first accurate data on the size of the problem we face in Cardinia Creek catchment and give us our first indication of the size of the response required to give our environment a fighting chance.” The survey will be done by helicopter using a thermal imaging camera and take place towards the end of July. CDMC will use the data gained by the survey to establish the number and location of deer with the aim of developing a more strategic and better targeted response to the deer problem.

Mr Hall said it could potentially also identify dogs, wombats, cats and potentially even koalas. “This is the first survey of this kind in Victoria using the latest high technology equipment and experts in this field to survey deer in a peri-urban and rural area,” Mr Hall added. “The CDMC will be sharing all this information openly to encourage and support a better collaboration against the environmental and financial destruction being caused by deer in our landscape. “Many local councils and government authorities have expressed an interest in the methods being used to see if this technique may be expanded into their area.”

Environmental pilot program powers on Or, subscribe NOW for your FREE Digital edition!

The success of a pilot program that helps businesses improve energy efficiency and lower operating costs is set to continue. The extension of the two-year Environmental Upgrade Agreement Program was approved at a Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 23 June. The program also generates local employment and allows any tenants leasing the property to contribute to the upgrade costs and share in the benefits with the property owner. Yarra Ranges mayor Richard Higgins said the program had become even more important now for local business empower-

ment, in a time of economic uncertainty and change due to Covid-19. “The pilot program has been a great success and we’re incredibly excited to see this continue into the future,” he said. “At a time where we know that many of our local businesses are hurting, this program allows us to continue to stimulate investment to help reduce their operating costs, improve the value of the business and reduce the impact on the environment.” So far there have been six businesses that have installed solar power and energy efficiency measures as part of the Environmental Upgrades Program within Yarra Ranges.

“Environmental Upgrade Agreements are essentially competitive loans that the owner of a property can apply for, which then Council and the Sustainable Australia Fund voluntarily enter into,” Cr Higgins said. “Now with confirmation that the program will be continuing, we’ll be assisting many more of our local businesses to access the program.” Further details of the Environmental Upgrade Program can be accessed from either Yarra Ranges Council or Sustainable Australia Fund websites or by contacting the council’s sustainability team on 1300 368 333.

Getting through it again Feels a bit like Groundhog Day doesn’t it? Cases of Covid-19 have risen again and the Yarra Ranges, along with all of metropolitan Melbourne, is now in six weeks of Stage 3 lockdown. Yet I know how caring our community is and that together we can cultivate the resilience to ride this out. There will be challenges ahead that may affect our health and wellbeing, and these may compound in the presence of social isolation. So let’s look at some ways that might help. Many of us feel immense gratitude living in the Yarra Valley. Our daily walk allows us the freedom to breathe sweet smelling air filtered through the forests that surround our towns. A stark contrast to those less fortunate stuck inside high rise concrete buildings. And yet, it can be stressful for many. Prolonged mental agitation will flare up any

key pillar of good health and it’s absence can increase our risk to a range of health conditions. So it’s more important than ever to call family and friends, arrange regular Facetime chats and use social media constructively. Here are three more simple ways to fortify your physical and mental resilience and help make the best of a difficult situation. Learn to relax and connect to your breath: Take up meditation, Tai Chi or yoga. Purposely slow down and spend time in nature. These techniques will help harmonise your hypothalamus and reduce excess cortisol production from your adrenal glands. Seek out an experienced online teacher or class and commit to a course to really reap the benefits. Turn your attention to eating as well as you can. A balanced, well rounded whole food diet will help immensely. You may need to consult

a professional if you have unique needs or a pre-existing health condition. The research will agree the positive effect on your gut microbiome will flow on to your mental wellbeing too. Exercise, with a friend if you can. Suitable exercise is like the glue that holds it all together. We were born to move and even if it’s just a 20 minute walk after lunch or stretching between tasks, exercise helps connect you with your body and can alleviate both physical and mental tension, allowing greater freedom in both. There is no single right way but a general rule is you should feel better after exercise not worse. No one knows how this remarkable situation will pan out but it’s important to care for ourselves and be kind and considerate toward others in thought and deed. Take care and be well.

Kookaburras sit on the one tree branch Emerald’s Geoff Sands captured a flock of kookaburras on his 20 acre black of land last week. “Not often that you see five kookaburras sitting on one branch, all together,” Mr Sands said. “They only sat together for a very short time before moving on. In my opinion it was a fluke photograph.” “The two, four and five kookaburras photographs were all taken at the same time period.”

OPINION Red Energy woes I am a long time resident of the Dandenongs and a firm supporter of renewable solar energy. I first installed photovoltaics upon my then residence some 13 years ago. Recently, I relocated to my current Monbulk address and installed a new solar array upon our home. I have been a loyal customer of Red Energy for years, principally because of their acclaimed environmental credentials as being fully owned by Snowy Hydro. How wrong I was! Soon after my installation of solar panels, I was informed that the price of power I purchased from Red Energy was to soar from 29.777 cents per kwh to 39.82 cents per kwh - a surge in power costs of 33.727 per cent, simply because, at considerable personal cost, in the interests of the planet, I had installed solar energy. To add insult to injury, in a recent letter dated 18 June, Red Energy further informed me that any power exported from my new solar array was to incur a price reduction from 12 cents per kwh to a mere 10.2 cents per kwh, a decline of 15 per cent. I sought an explanation from Red Energy’s Customer Manager, Lucy Aston, author of this letter in vain. I was not permitted to speak with her as she was shielded from contact with mailcommunity.com.au

Red Energy’s customers by some functionary. During this time of great suffering caused by Covid-19, Australians are dying, hundreds of thousands have lost their businesses, millions have become unemployed, and nearly 400,000 Melbournians are in lockdown. How does Red Energy respond to this enormous calamity? It raises prices of power retailed and miserly reduces prices paid for renewable energy purchased, simply because it can. Red Energy immediately lost my business. Furthermore, friends I discovered to be Red Energy customers have been persuaded to seek alternative energy retailers. My personal searches have led me to a power retailer who is more than competitive in prices for both power and gas and who will purchase my solar power exported to the grid for 14 cents per kwh, an increase of 15 per cent on my old Red Energy purchase price and 30 per cent more than Red Energy’s new solar buy back price. If you are a solar producer or even just purchase power or gas from Red Energy, examine alternative energy retailers and their prices. Loyalty, inertia and complacency regarding power and gas retailers you deal with will cost you significantly. Roger Willsher, Monbulk.

Oh deer! I read the Star Mail’s great article ‘Deer danger in Dandenongs’ published by Derek Schlennstedt, on 31 January. I had an encounter on 3 July with two deer going up Belle View Track above Upper Ferntree Gully Station. The mother and young deer were 3-4 metres away on the side of the track and didn’t really seem overly bothered by me walking by. As with most of the wildlife in the area! I am a 5ft4in (162cm) woman who normally exercises going up the 1000 Steps, but due to Covid I’m having to find other tracks. I have in the past encountered kangaroos on tracks above Ferntree Gully Station and Forest Road and felt a little threatened since I was on my own. I guess that’s why I like the 1000 Steps so much because there is safety in numbers! I just wanted to share my experience and concern about safety around deer if their numbers grow and they become more conditioned to close contact with humans. Gabrielle Knights, Vermont South.

Seven years too long As we approach the anniversary of Kevin Rudd’s statement that no person who came by boat will ever be able to settle in Australia, let us remember that there are still 512 people

who arrived by boat after July 2013, in locked detention across Australia. As well as these 512, there are hundreds in community detention, unable to work or study and hundreds waiting to be processed on temporary limited visas. Can we believe that our government has found no solution to the problem that leaves hundreds without hope, separated from family and friends, often sick and traumatized by many years in detention, offshore as well as in Australia? Many have been subjected to violence and have seen friends injured and even killed. The government’s only solution has been to encourage some refugees to take up the offer to go to America, several hundred have gone to uncertain freedom there. All of these people fled from war and persecution, they have committed no crime, but many remain locked away with no hope of an end in sight. The process seems to have no logic or plan and has meant that some people who arrived by boat after July 2013, have temporary visas, while some are in community detention and some are in locked detention. We need a safe and humanitarian outcome for all those still without freedom and in limbo.

Product limits back

War of the Worlds Starring Gabriel Byrne and Lea Drucker SBS, Thursdays, MA15+

By Romy Stephens Coles and Woolworths have reintroduced purchase limits on certain products, following a surge in demand after the announcement of further Covid-19 lockdowns. Premier Daniel Andrews announced on 7 July that metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire would enter another Stage 3 lockdown period from midnight 8 July. Yarra Ranges and Cardinia were among impacted municipalities. As a result of the lockdowns, Woolworths said in a statement it would reinstate limits of two items per customer on 27 product categories across Victorian stores. “The move follows a surge in demand across Victoria overnight and will help ensure more customers have fair access to fresh food and essentials at Woolworths,” the statement said. “All Woolworths supermarkets in Victoria will remain open throughout the next six weeks of stage three restrictions just as they did earlier this year. “We have more than enough stock flowing from our distribution centres into stores to support all our customers’ food and grocery needs. We encourage our customers to continue shopping as they usually would.” Coles also implemented limits on 20 product categories, but only for people living within the Melbourne metropolitan area and Mitchell Shire. Coles chief executive Steven Cain said while it was disappointing to reinstate purchase limits, it was an important measure to help manage demand.

Warring well

Shelves at Healesville Coles were recently stripped once again due to Covid-19 panic buying. “Our thoughts are with the many Victorians who will now be required to isolate at home, and we will continue to work with the state government to provide whatever assistance they need,” he said. “To help provide a safer shopping experience in our stores, we would ask that customers continue to treat our team members with respect, observe social distancing in stores,

make use of the sanitising stations at the entrance, and plan their visit so they can be ‘speedy shoppers’. “For customers who would prefer to shop online, we have contactless Click&Collect, while customers opting for home delivery will have their groceries delivered to their front door.”

War of the Worlds is an eight-part miniseries that reimagines H.G. Wells’ classic sci-fi novel in modern-day Europe, and follows several families struggling to regroup after an alien attack. The mini-series is slow to get going, but tense and compelling once it gets into gear. The first episode has several dry moments and jarring cuts, and this adaptation suffers from too many characters, which stretches the viewer’s attention. However, the rest of the episode has an effective escalation of suspense, as trepidation over an alien signal grows into fear of an imminent attack, then erupts into urban chaos as people scramble for cover. The episode concludes with an arresting shot of a silent, devastated world. Despite its present-day setting, War of the Worlds closely follows the major plot-points of the novel, including the alien crafts being mistaken for meteors, their massacre of mankind, the exodus from London and the protagonist journeying alone to reunite with his wife. The second episode is bleaker, more focused and better-paced, concentrating on discreet groups for longer. Intrigue, hard choices and desperation develop within each family, and the narrative masterfully builds dread toward the alien forces by presenting them as a little-seen but deadly force. - Seth Lukas Hynes

RUSTIC ART DECO CHARM OFFERED for sale after more than a decade is this outstanding cottage, right in the heart of Gembrook, where you can walk to shops, schools, restaurants and public transport within minutes. Set on approximately quarter of an acre, the home was originally built in 1940 and has since been respectfully extended and updated to include modern comforts while reverently preserving the period charm. From the moment you see the rustic picket fence, the home draws you in, onto the brick path, to the covered timber deck with wrought iron balustrade and past the chimney to the front door. Still captivated by the lovingly maintained original features on the outside of the home, you step into the foyer and are impressed by the styling and characteristics of another time. The dark architraves and oversized skirting boards compliment the original timber floors which feature throughout the home.

Two bedrooms are set off the formal lounge, separated by a small foyer. Both bedrooms enthral with tasteful styling, original windows, 11 foot ceilings, ceiling

roses, ornate cornices and walk in robes. On the opposing side of the lounge is the informal, open plan living, dining and kitchen. In keeping with the original style of the home, single tilt windows adorn the walls to provide natural light, and the dark cabinetry of the kitchen perfectly complements the timber bench tops and floors. There is an additional third bedroom off the second living area, also with walk-in robe and stunning feature wall that expertly balances contemporary expression and period charm. The open laundry separates the toilet from the bathroom which has been restored with a large shower and modern vanity.

Single tilt windows with roller blinds, classic colour scheme and gorgeous, black, claw foot bath triumphantly complete the room. Downstairs takes you to the rear foyer which leads to the huge, undercover entertaining deck with more than enough room to relax and entertain. The deck is bordered by timber palings and staircase in keeping with the character of the home. The rear yard is private and fully fenced with plenty of room for the kids to play.

There won’t be junior or senior footy or netball played in the AFL Outer East region in 2020. 198311

Picture: ROB CAREW

Outer East season is over By Russell Bennett Following last week’s Victorian State Government announcement that all metropolitan local government areas - including the Yarra Ranges, Cardinia, and Casey - would return to Level 3 restrictions and a lockdown for the next six weeks, AFL Outer East cancelled all its football and netball competitions for 2020. In a statement released by AFL Outer East chairman Tony Mitchell and region general manager Aaron Bailey, it was made clear that the region has a responsibility to its community, clubs, and participants “to provide clarity in such uncertain times, to prioritise health and safety in our community, and to minimise the significant burden and stress on our volunteer network”. Mitchell and Bailey continued: “We understand that we will have many disappointed footballers, netballers, coaches, and community following this news. “The staff and commission of AFL Outer East share this disappointment. As a community we are passionate about football, netball, our clubs, and competition, but we face an unprecedented situation, beyond any of our control.

“Our position has been throughout this process that we would exhaust every avenue to return to football and netball this year, until a return was no longer possible. We feel we have done this, however with no guarantee of a return post lock down, continuing to hold off for a return would be irresponsible on our behalf and unfair on our community.” The Mail recently reported on the Outer East’s decision to cancel its senior football season, and last Tuesday’s State Government announcement of a return to a Stage 3 lockdown for the next six weeks left it with no choice but to pull the pin on the rest of its competitions. Community sport is not allowed under Stage 3 rules. Looking ahead to 2021, AFL Outer East is keen on ensuring that participants in “transition” age groups can enjoy their final year with their team mates and clubs, before moving into Saturday, open-age football. Therefore, Mitchell and Bailey announced that AFL Outer East has transitioned to odd age core age groups - under-9s, 11s, 13s, 15s, 17s, and 19s - from 2021. “This move will see our football and netball

age groups align, as well as enable us to have all participants in development/talent age groups playing in the same age groups moving forward,” the statement read. In regards to player registrations, AFL Outer East is offering two options for participants who’ve already paid their registration fees for season 2020 - a refund of the fee to the participant, or the player registration fee being provided to the club. The process of refunding registration fees will begin in August, once all fees and completed registrations have been audited and confirmed. According to AFL Outer East, “Netball Victoria have advised that they will be making a decision on their process for VNAs over the next few months”. AFL Outer East has announced it will be working with all clubs over the coming months to provide support and guidance through such a challenging period - adding that a particular focus will be on ensuring that the region’s volunteers and committees are well-supported. Outer East also announced it will look to provide development programs for football,

netball, and umpiring through the spring and summer. “We will utilise the lockdown period to develop programs, events, and days for our junior participants to participate in, and engage with through the off-season,” the statement read. AFL Outer East thanked all its clubs, volunteers, officials, umpires, players, sponsors, commercial partners, and the broader community for its support and cooperation through such unprecedented times. “We are immensely proud of the way our clubs, community and staff have met this challenge head on,” Mitchell said. “Though disappointed there will be no football or netball in 2020, we now shift our focus to returning bigger and better in season 2021. “Please stay safe and we urge all associated with our respective communities to heed the advice and regulations in place by order of the State Government. “We all have a role to play in ensuring that our community remains safe and healthy and that we can all return to football and netball in season 2021.”

Restrictions hit grassroots: All junior sport cancelled By Nick Creely The Eastern Football Netball League - in conjunction with the Northern Football Netball League, Essendon District Football League, Western Region Football League and South East Juniors - has cancelled all junior football and netball competitions for the 2020 season. Following the State Government announcement of a return to Stage 3 restrictions in Metropolitan Melbourne for six weeks, all the leagues collectively decided that cancelling all competitions in 2020 was the only viable option. In a joint statement, the leagues said that the health and wellbeing of the community was at the forefront, and based off the current situation facing Melbourne that community sport was simply not possible. “The common view was that cancelling mailcommunity.com.au

all competitions for the 2020 season was the only viable decision in the best interest of all clubs, participants, and the wider community,“ the statement read. “All leagues and their member clubs have a clear obligation to prioritise the health and safety of all participants and their families during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as a duty to minimise the burden on all club volunteers during this unprecedented time. “The leagues are committed to working closely with their member clubs, AFL Victoria, and Netball Victoria to manage the associated issues related to the cancellation of all 2020 competitions and working towards a return to play next season. “We wish to take this opportunity to thank all clubs, players, parents, volunteers, officials, umpires and league partners for their patience, support and understanding throughout these challenging times.

“Please stay safe and we urge all associated with our respective communities to heed the advice and regulations in place by order of the State Government. “We all have a role to play in ensuring our community remains safe and healthy and that we can all return to football and netball next season.“ Head of AFL south eastern Victoria, Richard Black, said that while the decision would be disappointing for many, a reduction of Covid-19 cases in Victoria was clearly the number-one priority. “Whilst we are disappointed to cancel junior football this year, the health and wellbeing of the community has always been our top priority”, he said. “Covid-19 has presented a very unique set of circumstances and we need to ensure that our participants and volunteers emerge from this pandemic in a healthy state.

“We look forward to working with our clubs to create a safe and healthy environment for all members and volunteers as we put plans in place for 2021.” AFL South East chief operating officer Shaun Connell thanked all junior clubs for the important role they have played throughout the challenging Covid-19 journey. “The last few months have been unprecedented in terms of managing community sport and I would like to thank the leaders of our clubs for being engaged in the process,” Connell said. “All clubs understand the associated challenges and impact that Covid-19 has had and were very open and balanced with their views. Both AFLSE and the clubs have a clear obligation to protect participants, volunteers, officials, umpires, supporters, and their families during these times.” Tuesday, 14 July, 2020
