Kangaroo fight By Taylah Eastwell An outpouring of care and concern by community members over the fate of a mob of kangaroos temporarily halted a planned roo cull at a Chirnside Park golf course. Heritage Golf and Country Club released a statement around 2pm on Tuesday 27 April informing neighbouring residents that a contractor had been hired to conduct a planned
shooting at the club that evening. “It is in their best interests not to be out after dark whilst shooting takes place,” the statement read. Outraged locals took to social media to express their frustration after being notified at the eleventh hour that the shooting would occur between 9pm and 3am that evening. A local group devoted to fighting for kanga-
roo rights at a Lilydale land development, Save the Kinley Kangas, was one of the first organisations called upon by anxious and horrified residents. Save the Kinley Kangas member Alyssa Wormald said 60 to 80 locals pulled together for a demonstration at the site that evening to prevent the cull going ahead. “We just said if you can get down there,
get down there and had people all around the property keeping an eye out and a big presence at the main entrance with signs and people in fluro just there as a support for the kangaroos,” Ms Wormald said. The cull didn’t go ahead on Tuesday evening, with police allegedly calling it off, but residents remain anxious. Continued page 3

Riding for a good cause By Jed Lanyon A Healesville resident who is taking part in a charity motorbike ride is calling on his town to get behind him ahead of his journey. For many years Cliff Overton has taken part in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, a global motorcycle event raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health programs on behalf of the Movember Foundation. “It’s a great social event. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has raised close to $30 million over the time it’s been running to support men’s health around the world. “I really enjoy it. We get 500 riders lined up at the exhibition buildings on a Sunday morning and a small team of who manage them throughout towns so they don’t get lost or spread out too far and then we all finish up at a pub or somewhere else and celebrate the ride. “When we have that group event, there’s nothing like getting there early in the morning, it gets really busy and you take a step back and see everyone dressed up and then there’s 500 beautiful bikes. And when everyone turns the key at the same time, 500 bikes kick into life and they all peel out and head into Melbourne. It’s just sensational.” Last year Mr Overton took part riding around the streets of Healesville, which was all that was allowed at the time due to Covid-19 restrictions. “You always hit up your mum, dad, brother or sister to chip in, but they’re getting a bit tired of me now. “Over Covid, I invested a lot of money into Healesville, because I couldn’t go anywhere else during lockdown. I spent a lot of money on beer

It’d be really nice to be Healesville’s sponsored rider. “It’s been great, Four Pillars Gin has already donated a gin and marmalade pack, which I will give to the highest donor. Monroes Burgers have donated two $50 vouchers and we’ll pick two randoms from all who donated and it’ll go to them.

Mr Overton said he aims to raise $1000 for the cause each year. He’ll be taking to the big ride on his new Kawasaki Z900RS. “I saved a bit of money last year working from home… I thought, it’s about time I treated myself. I’ve never owned a new machine, car or bike. It’s a beautiful machine and perfect for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.” Mr Overton considers himself lucky to live in Healesville as he has the best motorbike

Expo helps the Yarra Ranges get back to business The Yarra Valley Back to Business Expo will open its doors to the public for the first time on Friday 14 May. For decades now, visitors from around the world have come to the Yarra Valley to experience the beauty of our landscapes, the fresh produce of the ‘Yarra Valley food bowl’ and lifestyle. Now it’s time for Victorians to find out what the region has to offer and why it attracts visitors from across the globe. Following the darkest year for businesses worldwide, we’ve all realised the importance of shopping local, in supporting the local economy and sustaining local families. President Jason Olszewski is passionate about the work of the not-for-profit group, Yarra Valley Business, who are hosting the exhibition. “For me, there are lots of different reasons for carrying out the work that we do and in hosting the expo we achieve many of our goals,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to give back to the community, to provide local businesses with
exposure where marketing may not be their strong point, to meet like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere and for businesses to find the support to grow their business.” Director of participating business, AKTIVATE Yoga and Wellbeing, Tonia Corrone said “I’m so excited for this to be our first community event. We opened our business in November during the pandemic, so this is an awesome opportunity to connect with the community and other businesses. It’s like an Open Day to say, ‘Welcome back’ to the community, where people can contribute to local and small businesses.” Discover new Yarra Valley businesses, meet the business owners and have all your questions answered. There’ll be door prizes, expo offers and a range of engaging speakers, a petting zoo with Pinnacle Pets and the Point of View cafe will be open with great coffee and bites to eat.

IN BRIEF Illegal shooting
Travel bubble joy By Jed Lanyon The new Trans-Tasman travel bubble has allowed for quarantine-free visits between New Zealanders and Australians. For some it’s a chance for a much-needed holiday, while for Healesville couple Cathie and Tim, it’s an opportunity to meet their first newborn grandson. Seven-week old baby George was born in Christchurch on 17 March to parents Laura and Sam. Proud grandmother Cathie has been video calling the new parents each day, but said she is “ecstatic” to finally have the opportunity to head over and meet her grandson in person, flying out on 5 May. “We can’t wait to meet baby George,” she said, holding back the tears. She said baby George has red hair and looks exactly like his father, Sam. And that she’s looking forward to hugging her daughter and seeing her as a mum. “I was over there just before all this (Covid-19) happened. We had just stopped the flights from China when I flew back in to Melbourne Airport from New Zealand,” Cathie said. She considers herself lucky to have visited at the last opportunity just before international borders shut down. At the time she said landing back at Melbourne had a “different feeling” with the impending lockdown and border closures.
The long time between visits, meant that she missed Laura’s entire pregnancy. “I haven’t seen her pregnant and we’ve just talked on the phone for the last 12 months, so to actually see them will be amazing.” Cathie sympathises with families who have loved ones stranded overseas, particularly as international flights are cut off from India as the country struggles to handle a surge in Covid-19 cases. “My heart goes out to them. It’s nice to talk on the phone and have FaceTime, but it’s not the same as seeing them.” Cathie and Tim have been waiting patiently for their opportunity to travel. In previous months they didn’t meet the qualifications to travel to New Zealand, which prioritised New Zealand residents with dying or recently deceased relatives. The 14 day hotel quarantine meant that numbers were limited. “Until this bubble opened, we couldn’t get over there… It was quite strict and we didn’t qualify.” The new grandmother isn’t feeling overly concerned about the risk of getting stuck amid a pending outbreak between either country. She feels confident any lockdown would be contained to a matter of days as seen recently in Perth, Victoria and Auckland. “I wouldn’t mind, New Zealand can keep me!” she joked. “It’s just a risk we take now that we could go into another quick lockdown and
Yarra Glen Police are investigating a number of recent complaints of shooters discharging firearms on private properties in the Yarra Glen, Steels Creek and Dixons Creek areas without consent of the property owner. Sergeant Richard Coulson indicated that other than being illegal, the practice is for obvious reasons highly dangerous particularly when occurring at night. He stated that whilst identification of the offenders is often hard to establish, a number of the complainants have now installed hidden cameras in an effort to assist in identifying offenders. Sgt Coulson advised that any individuals identified committing such offences could expect to have their firearms confiscated, their shooters license suspended and face firearms related charges. Anyone with any information is requested to contact Crimestoppers or call Yarra Glen Police on 9730 1296.
Correction Star Mail’s Anzac Day coverage last week incorrectly identified Bob Gannaway as a Vietnam War veteran. Mr Gannaway is not a veteran, Vietnam or otherwise, and attended Healesville Primary School as a commemorations officer of Healesville RSL. Star Mail apologises for any confusion. Baby George will soon get to meet his grandparents when they travel to New Zealand. would then have to wait to get home… I don’t mind if I get locked into New Zealand, not getting over there would be worse for me.” Cathie said she’s looking forward to spending three weeks looking after the new parents by babysitting and cooking for them.
Protestors fight golf club kangaroo cull From page 1 “Residents love them and it is well known that kangaroos are at the course. There has been huge community anguish come out of it, It’s just absolutely tormenting the community because they love these kangas so much,” Ms Wormald said. “There is so much anxiety in the community that if we let up the pressure they are just going to come out and kill them. As an abundance of caution we are keeping eyes on the property until the manager comes and says he’s not going to kill them,” she said. A petition was also set up on 29 April, receiving over 1,000 electronic signatures in less than 24 hours. “It’s kicked off in a really big way. We really want to let the club know the kangaroos are a huge asset for them. They’re not doing damage, they are very welcome and residents love them so it has come as a huge shock that they were going to be slaughtered in this horrific way,” Ms Wormald said. One of the Heritage kangas, affectionately known as Big Al, has a special place in the hearts of locals who followed his recovery last year when a wildlife shelter nursed him for two months before releasing him back to the country club. “He’s the local celebrity. He had a hand injury and was nursed back to health by wild-
Kangaroos at Heritage Golf and Country Club. Picture: KATJA GUTWEIN life carers at Five Freedoms Animal Rescue and then released back to the site followed closely by the community, there’s even been a calendar made about him,” Ms Wormald explained. “They really are loved, it’s the most peaceful and serene place with lots of native birds, it really is special and its so sad that we are all expecting this horrible brutal killing to happen there. Heritage Golf and Country Club have been called out on social media, with past Facebook posts of pictures on the green posted using hashtags such as #nature-
lovers and #kangaroos. “Just the irony – it’s like having your cake and eating it too. To use them as a tourist attraction and part of what makes the club beautiful and appealing while on the other hand wanting to slaughter them for a few bucks and some pet food and skins. “We are hoping management will see it is a bad move and that they can really save face by turning around and saying look, we got this one wrong. Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick has been contacted by residents and said he is doing all he can, alongside the dedicated local community and wildlife carers, to stop the cull completely. “Our native wildlife deserves so much better than this. Cull permits and ‘harvest’ plans must be ended, and instead a focus put on non-lethal alternatives,” he shared on Facebook. Wildlife Victoria CEO, Lisa Palma, said Wildlife Victoria was working with local authorities and community members to try to stop the kangaroos from being killed. “We would welcome the opportunity to speak with Heritage Golf and Country Club Management. Wildlife Victoria would very much like to see this issue resolved quickly and positively so that the kangaroos are no longer under threat,“ she said.
Don Road fixup Keen-eyed residents of Don Road in Healesville may have noticed electronic roadside signs notifying locals of works set to take place in the area. Locals reported the signs to have changed dates and then promptly disappeared with no work taking place! Star Mail’s investigation concluded that about 200 metres of the road is set to be resurfaced. The works were again scheduled for 6 May, but will now be pushed back another week. A Department of Transport spokesperson told Star Mail that cooler and wet weather conditions had interfered in the ability to undertake the work, which will see 40 millimetres of the surface replaced with fresh asphalt.
Rainfall It’s been a dryer month compared to last year as Healesville resident Alma Mitchell recorded 75.6mm of rain across 12 days. For the month of April last year she recorded 168.9mm across 23 days as storms raged across the Yarra Ranges. Over in Coldstream, Peter Stuart recorded 62ml of rain, much lower than the 176ml he recorded last year, but still up from the 16.5ml and 18ml recorded in the years prior.
Three times the limit A 50 year old Yarra Glen male was intercepted by the Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Unit on 30 April when his vehicle flagged on the Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR) for having an expired vehicle registration. He failed a roadside breath test and underwent an evidentiary breath test back at Lilydale Police Station, where he returned a reading of 0.151. He will now face a date with a Magistrate in the near future. His licence was immediately suspended for a minimum of 12 months, his vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1280 and he received an infringement notice for driving an unregistered vehicle, which carries a fine of $826.

Petition for a skatepark “We chatted about the ideas of what we can do about the skatepark… He thought they were good ideas. “After my birthday I’m going to meet with the township group… I’m going to say about how many people have signed my petition and how I reckon we should get one (skatepark).” Millie’s mum Casey Elbourne said she is proud to see her daughter being active in her community. “We’re really proud of the effort and the steps she’s taken to see some changes in the community and I know she would really like and benefit from having one (skatepark) in place or something similar just to get them all outdoors. “I know she struggles to see her brother just sitting there while they’re (Millie and younger sister Khloe) out and about at the waterpark and the playground.

By Jed Lanyon Seven year old Seville resident Millie has launched a campaign to see a skatepark or BMX pump track constructed in Seville as an attraction for older children. Millie was inspired to create a petition after feeling like her older brother Zach (11) didn’t have anywhere to spend his free time. She explained that the Water Play Park and nearby playground cater for a younger audience. “My petition is to make a skate park in Seville for all the big kids,” she said. “It’s so I could practice all my tricks on my skateboard, roller skates and scooter and bike… Everything with wheels. “It’d be for Zach… I think he would benefit more.” The Birmingham Primary School student said having a skatepark locally would allow her to learn new tricks easier. So far her petition has gathered over 500 signatures (written and online) and she plans on taking it to Council when she reaches 1000.

Local love for Mother’s Day Classic cancer fundraiser Yarra Valley residents will once again come together on Mother’s Day to celebrate and honour those affected by breast cancer and raise vital funds for breast cancer research. Lilydale resident Kim Robin has been the event host of the Mother’s Day Classic in Lilydale for the past six years. The walk, run or jog takes place around Lillydale Lake starting at 8am on Sunday, May 9. Up to 1000 will don their pink attire and running shoes on Mother’s Day. There are
several waves people can take part in up to 10am. Kim became a supporter of the Mother’s Day Classic after her mum Maree was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. “I started doing the MDC in the city with my husband Daniel when mum was diagnosed and I wanted to do more, so we started a local event in Lilydale,” Kim explained. Kim’s mum Maree joined in the event at Lilydale. Sadly, she lost her battle in 2016. Kim has a group of loyal supporters who
help every year. “You can still register and join us on the day at Lilydale. The biggest thing is people coming together on the day and doing it for the cause. Getting active for breast cancer research can be a game-changer to the 55 Australian women who are diagnosed with breast cancer every day. The Mother’s Day Classic has donated almost $38 million over the past 24 years to fund 76 breast cancer research projects.
“Due to the ever-changing climate, we live in and the restrictions on public gatherings, participation numbers are capped at each location, so it is imperative that people book their spot and choose their MDC location of choice prior to Mother’s Day,” said Zara Lawless, Mother’s Day Classic CEO. Spots are filling fast for the Mother’s Day Classic local locations. Participants are encouraged to visit mothersdayclassic.com. au to register for the fun run/walk and book their spot to join others on Sunday, May 9.

A pavilion to bark about By Jed Lanyon The Doggies have a new kennel down at Wandin as the club held celebrations to mark the opening of the new first class sporting facility on Saturday 1 May. The project saw the demolition of the existing pavilion building and the construction of a new sporting pavilion that will optimise the use of the oval and provide a meeting and social space for the community as a whole. Wandin Football Netball Club life member and treasurer, Nick Crossland, said the new pavilion was “an unbelievable outcome.” “Not only for the Wandin Football Netball Club, but for the Wandin Community as a whole, for us to have a facility that, in my opinion, is unrivalled for the architectural design to the outcome and finished product, it’s an unbelievable outcome for the whole community.” “The clubrooms were absolutely well overdue for renewal and this project has been conservatively 12 to 15 years in the making. Some of the changes that have happened mean we’ve gone from one individual building with half change rooms, half social club to now having fully functioning change rooms that are independent of a social room.” Other changes include increased space in front of the pavilion to house what Mr Crossland described as “a hell of a lot more crowd” with a fully terraced space from the bottom of the south building to the top of the north building. New kitchen and bar facilities are welcomed changes as well as a full glass frontage view overlooking the ground.
The community celebrated the opening of Wandin’s new sports pavilion. “It gives an exceptional view of the playing surface,” Mr Crossland said. Yarra Ranges Council Mayor Fiona McAllister said, “Having a quality place to meet, train and play is so important for community sports. In 2021, our pavilions and sporting facilities have to be accessible for everyone in the community – whether you’re playing, spectating or holding an event in this space - no matter what your ability or gender. “This new pavilion is made for people of all genders and is fully compliant to Australian

disability standards – something we’re ensuring across all our pavilion redevelopments across Yarra Ranges. “The Wandin North Community Sporting Pavilion will be a permanent, modern home for sporting clubs in the area – a place where they can meet, train and grow into the future. A big thank you to the club and to our state and federal counterparts for all providing funding towards this wonderful new pavilion.” Casey MP Tony Smith praised the Wandin community for their dedication in helping
fundraise the project. “It was a fantastic day for the Wandin community. After many years of perseverance and passion, I was thrilled to share this special day with them,” he said. “All three levels of government contributed much needed funds but none of it would have happened without the fundraising and the volunteering from the Wandin community. This new first class facility caters for male and female sport and will also serve as an important community hub in the Yarra Valley.” The federal government also helped fund for new netball courts, which sit adjacent to the pavilion. Mr Crossland paid thanks to the community and all three levels of government for lending their support, as well as to the Wandin/Seville Community Bank, which provided the largest contribution to a project the organisation has embarked upon. “Two people in particular, from a club and community perspective, have driven this project for ten years. That’s Rob Bayliss, who is a life member. He’s been knocking down every door and when that door opened, he kept his foot inside there to get the outcome we needed. “The other is Randall Pye, an architect and designer who had an ability to influence the project… He had been pushing some pretty unique and striking ideas.” Wandin hosted Woori Yallock on the day. The Dogs’ reserves team enjoyed a 21 point win, while the seniors fell to the Tigers by 38 points.
Upgrade puts Lilydale school on a sustainable path New facilities were officially opened at Lilydale Heights College on Friday 30 April as part of the Lilydale District and Yarra Valley Education Plan. Six secondary schools will receive much needed upgrades under the $56.3 million project. Students and principals from each of the six schools, those being Lilydale High School, Upper Yarra Secondary College, Healesville High School, Mooroolbark College and Yarra Hills Secondary College, gathered to unveil the new facilities. Lilydale Heights College used its stage one funding to upgrade a building with the vision of being more sustainable. The new sustainable learning hub has been designed with recycled materials, exposed fixtures and solar panels, as well as a new community garden. Other areas that received improvements were the town square, canteen and staff room, along with a brand new gym. Education minister James Merlino and member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing,
visited the school for a tour of the new facilities. “The sustainability building, we were just marvelling at the design and everything [being] exposed and there to create a sense of curiosity and questioning of students that work through that,” Mr Merlino said. Mr Merlino congratulated the six school principals for their dedication to providing excellent education and support to students, both within their direct school community and outside of it. “New facilities do make a difference, in terms of how students feel about being at school, how easy it is to learn, how easy it is to teach,” he said. “You go in that sustainability building and you absolutely see through design and construction how easy it is for science teachers and other teachers to teach their subjects and engage their students.” Not only did Mr Merlio go to marvel at the new features at Lilydale Heights College but he announced a new four year Collaborative Indigenous Strategy which aims to make each of the six schools more culturally inclusive.

achieve the vision of the Marrung Education Plan and that’s a vision of schools celebrating the rich and thriving culture, knowledge and experience of First Nations people.” The strategy aims to increase Koorie student participation in school and get them to achieve a Year 12 certificate. Murrindindi told the story of Bunjil the Eagle and how he created earth. This is now depicted in the ground of the town square at Lilydale Heights College, celebrating Koorie heritage. “Murrindindi you were talking about the cultural history of this place, that prior to the work around the town square and the story that is told, students, families, teachers did not know about it and I just think that is so wonderful,” Mr Merlio said. Student representatives and a First Nations Advocate have been appointed at each school. Indigenous representatives from each of the schools were presented with a Coolamon which is a vessel that holds the culture and knowledge of the school communities and also a message stick, that gives permission to share that knowledge.

Bob’s double book launch By Jed Lanyon A Woori Yallock man has launched two books in his publishing debut and will soon be celebrating them with a book launch at Yarra Junction Library. Bob Menzies is celebrating the upcoming release of Benito’s Gold, a story of treasure, pirates and murder. His other release, Wouldn’t Be Dead For Quids, is a series of personal poems and stories of how Mr Menzies overcame mental health struggles following service in the Vietnam War. Mr Menzies details overcoming post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression and hopes that his book can provide insight for others following a similar path. Mr Menzies explains the history of how he came to write Benito’s Gold. “The idea came to me when I was 13 where I was going to school in Queenscliff, down on the bay. My brother found a 1622 gold coin on the beach,” he said. “The story going around then, still going around now and has been for 150 years, is that Benito the pirate buried his treasure around Queenscliff somewhere and people have been searching for it ever since then. “They can take away the facts that are written in the book and probably have a look for themselves… Hopefully they get out of it a good adventure story, a good murder mystery and a good treasure hunt.” Mr Menzies said he even spent time looking for Benito’s gold. “I’ve been out prospecting, I’ve done all that. I did it for two or three years with a mate of mine. Didn’t find anything. I found plenty of bullets, nails and horseshoes though.” He even recalls one time experiencing a “terrific read” on a metal detector out near Logan, only to dig two feet to find a two cent coin. “There’s gold to be found,” he said.
Author Bob Menzies. Mr Menzies described his novel as fiction based on fact, while Wouldn’t Be Dead For Quids follows a very different genre.
Picture: JED LANYON “Some years ago, I was a very successful businessman, I had my own company, all the trappings and everything.Then one day I just
hit a brick wall and I don’t know why, I just lost it all and gave it all away virtually.” Mr Menzies was entered into the psych ward of a hospital where he was diagnosed with PTSD and depression from serving in Vietnam. “All those years I didn’t know it, but my workaholic attitude was putting off memories from Vietnam. And when I worked as hard as I could and did as much as I could, I hit the wall. “While I was in Ward 17 I started writing poems about my experiences through life, so I wrote Wouldn’t Be Dead For Quids and that starts out as life before, during and after depression and it shows you that there’s a way out. “I hope they takeaway that even though there are dark times in life and there are lighter moments leaving up to that, the dark times aren’t the end of it. There is a way out and if you sit down and talk to people and let people help you. “If I could help one person who was suffering through this book, well I’ve done my job.” Mr Menzies had completed both books some years ago and was recently encouraged to publish them by his wife, Heather. He will be reading excerpts from both books at Yarra Junction Library as part of Eastern Regional Libraries’ Reconnect Festival. “I’m a bit nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before,” Mr Menzies said. He’s already looking ahead to his next books and is sticking with the theme of mystery and treasure hunting. Benito’s Gold features the first chapter of his next novel White Gold. “They’re all stories about gold in Australia that has gone missing… There’s heaps of them out there and people have just forgotten about them.” For more information about Mr Menzies’ book launch, visit: https://bit.ly/3aNlj35

20 goals for super boot By Jed Lanyon Some footy players are lucky enough to kick 20 goals in a season, for defenders, 20 goals might be a nice haul for a career in local footy. But Coldstream’s Darcy Fritsch pulled off a bag of 20 goals on Saturday 24 April in a monster game against Kilsyth. The Coldstream forward backed up an impressive five goal Round 1 performance by kicking six goals in the first half of the game, before piling on another 14 in the Cougars’ 171 point win in the 4th Division Seniors in the EFNL. “It was pretty amazing. I’m still coming to terms with it to be honest, it felt pretty good,” Fritsch said. “In the first half I kicked six, so I was pretty happy with that and thought I could try and get to 10, which is the most I’ve kicked.” Fritsch kicked another seven goals in the third quarter, smashing his previous personal best. “People started to muck around and starting shouting ‘you’ll get to 20’, I thought no way but it sort of kept coming.” Fritsch ended up passing the club’s record of 16 goals, amassing 20.4 mostly from set shots. Fritsch’s story went crazy on social media as he received a lot of media attention following his impressive game “The boys at the club are getting into me about it for all the media. I think I’ll cop a few fines on Thursday night. “Hopefully I can back it up with three or four goals,” he said.
Darcy Fritsch lining up for goal.
And he did just that as Coldstream faced Silvan on Saturday 1 May, where Fritsh kicked three in a 61 point win. Speaking prior to the game, Fritsch said he was a “little bit nervous” and felt a lot of pressure to follow up the incredible feat. Fritsch is the younger brother of Melbourne Demons star Bayley Fritsch. After outsourcing the rest of his teammates and the opposition combined, he went along to the MCG to watch his brother play in the Anzac Eve clash. “I called him on Saturday night after his game and he was really supportive. It gives me something to brag about because it’s something he’s never done.” Fritsch spent some time on the Casey Demons list in the VFL playing a practice match. Struggles with injuries saw him return to enjoying his footy at a local level close to home. He said while he’s focusing on his footy, he still aspires to play the game at a higher level and credits his current form to getting his body right after a big preseason. “It’s definitely sort of always been a dream of mine but was shut down a bit because of injuries. Having this year back at my home club, hopefully I can get some confidence behind me and we’ll see what happens next year.”

ADVERTORIAL
Confusion is film’s aim The Father Starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman Rated M
The Original Pride Cup is back in 2021 After the cancellation of the 2020 Pride Cup due to COVID, the Yarra Glen Football Netball Club is delighted to be able to hold the 7th Pride Cup on Saturday 8th May at the Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve. The Pride Cup is a celebration of diversity and inclusion in sport and was borne out of the club’s desire to support one of its players, Jason Ball. In 2012 Jason became the first person playing AFL football to come out as gay. This coincided with an AFL Players Association campaign to stop homophobia in sport.
This year VicHealth are sponsoring a luncheon at which they will be releasing the findings of a Monash University Research Study that highlights the benefits to clubs and communities that have conducted Pride Cup events.
From humble beginings at a local country footy club in 2014, the Pride Cup concept has grown. The AFL’s St.Kilda and Sydney play a Pride Game each year, the AFLW conducted a Pride Round and now many clubs all over Australia and across many sports hold Pride Cups. This support to the LGBTIQ community sends the message that everyone should feel safe to play and attend sports events.
The day will feature an U.17 girl’s football game between Yarra Glen and Healesville, starting at 10.15am. A feature of the Pride games are the unique Pride Jumpers the teams wear. A new initiative for 2021 will be the Yarra Glen netballers wearing Pride dresses.
On field, Yarra Glen will play 2019 preliminary finalists, Powelltown for the Senior Football Pride Cup and the A Grade Netball Pride Cup. In netball, Yarra Glen will be desperate to regain the Cup after losing to Seville in 2019.
The Father is a heartbreaking, masterfullydirected character drama starring one of the world’s greatest living actors. Anthony (Anthony Hopkins), an elderly man with dementia, is convinced he can look after himself, and his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) is at a loss on what to do with him. Director Florian Zeller draws us deep into Anthony’s decline through ingenious editing and casting choices. Anthony seems harmlessly addled at first, with an articulate, wilful nature, but grows more furtive and less talkative as his memory degrades. The narrative feels like endless permutations of the same day, with subtly-changing set design, events seemingly running out of order and characters changing actors from scene to scene and even between shots. This creates
a supremely disorienting effect, through which we and Anthony question reality and what we think we know of his situation. Hopkins’ measured, hard-hitting performance earned him his second Oscar, and Colman superbly conveys Anne’s weariness, resentment and dogged love for her ailing father. While the film mostly succeeds in leaving us as confused and distressed as Anthony, this effect is undermined somewhat by a handful of scenes outside of Anthony’s experience. Through these, we know objectively what Anne, her partner (Rufus Sewell) and the new carer Laura (Imogen Poots) look like. This creates a disconnect between us and Anthony, as our memories are more intact than his. The Father may not fully commit to its central narrative device, but it’s still a tour-de-force of acting, pathos and finely-constructed confusion. - Seth Lukas Hynes
SOCIALLY SPEAKING Seville East tourism development Seville East residents reacted to a planning application that could see farmers markets, hot air balloon rides, food festivals and more at 10 Douthie Road. Merrilv: May want to rethink the hot air balloons near the transmission lines! Tim: A medieval role playing event?! Hand me my codpiece and hold my lute! Cooooool! Maccas moves in: McDonald’s plans for two new restaurants in the Yarra Ranges sparked some commentary online, particularly for a move into Healesville. Megan: Lots of youth employment, great for kids who are studying. Virginia: I don’t buy the ‘Maccas creates jobs’ argument for a second. It’s shortsight-
ed. Thoughtful and intelligent development creates jobs and ongoing opportunities. Maccas is (an) easy and ugly option. Nancy: It will take away what little country town feeling Healesville has. Janine: There are ample McDonalds, ready and waiting to take your order. Please if you are travelling that way, go visit a local family business. They need your dollars more! Leoni: Healesville does not need to be ruined by these greedy fools. Rachel: Great for jobs! Lots of nimbys will get upset about this however it’s a great thing for economic development. People will always support small businesses but these places provide late night and early morning options for lots of people in our community and they support community groups too.
LETTERS Mac attack I understand we cannot stop this development. But as it is situated at the entrance to one of Victoria’s premier tourist attractions and gateway to the Black Spur, I do not see why a commercial enterprise should be allowed to dominate the first thing you see as tourists enter the town. There is no reason McDonald’s cannot be made to blend their restaurant to match the beauty of the area. This is not a unique request. In New Orleans both Burger King and Macca’s blend into their surroundings. No big signs, No large advertising. Winthrop, Washington is a western
town where Macca’s has a facade that looks like the old west, to enhance the attraction to the town. In Healesville Four Pillars Distillery is one of the first buildings you see and it adds to Healesville’s charm by complementing the look of our town. Commercial branding should not overrule local ambiance and detract from a beautiful aesthetic. It should be made to add to the community not detract from it. Thank you for considering our input as locals! Graeme Scott, Healesville

Schools open and close Throughout the history of European settlement in Australia are stories of little bush schools, many of which have disappeared entirely as populations changed and shifted. One such school closed in this district in February this year - the Dixons Creek State School. It was nearly 146 years old. The people of Dixons Creek first petitioned for a school in March 1873 and again in June 1874. The Education Department then purchased one acre from Thomas Bell, part of Section 19A in Burgoyne parish. and a shingleroofed wooden building 24 feet by 16 feet was built. The school opened on 12 June 1875. The building (pictured) was unlined and had no ceiling but small living quarters were attached for the teacher. It was on the side of a steep hill now known as Gulf Hill and cattle grazed around the building which was unfenced. The school recorded 22 pupils in the first year, including some children from Steels Creek who previously had to travel to Yarra Flats (now known as Yarra Glen). Attendances fluctuated due to illnesses such as typhoid which swept the district in 1878 and whooping cough in 1908. Weather was also a problem: the winter of 1878 was so wet that children were isolated on farms, and in March 1900 a bushfire swept the district. A report in the Healesville Guardian said the school had been “… in great danger, and had not the elder children worked with a will, the building must have been gone. Some of the outbuildings caught fire and were saved with difficulty.” In April 1916 the little school was moved to its current site at 1815 Melba Highway. Here new classrooms were added as numbers in-

Yarra Glen & District Living & Learning Centre History Group creased at certain periods during the next hundred years. During the first years of settlement in the Yarra Valley the stations of the early squatters were far apart. Children were taught at home, usually by their mother. John Dickson squatted near the junction of what is now Steels and Dixons Creeks in the early 1840s. By 1852 he and his wife Alice had five children and she was home-schooling them because the nearest school was about 15 miles (25 kms) away at Kangaroo Ground, established in April 1851 by Andrew Ross. After a visit from Ross, some of the Dickson children attended this school as boarders. When Dickson sold his Pre-emptive Right to Gulf Station to William Bell the Dickson family lived for 12 months at Kangaroo Ground and the children became day scholars at the school. In 1860 William Bell’s son (also William) married Mary Ann Little and they made their home at Gulf Station. The first of their eight children was born in 1861. In 1865 Grant’s Land Act opened Crown Land for selection in the areas now known as Christmas Hills, Steels
now called School Lane. The Church of England leased it to the Education Department for school purposes until a separate building was erected nearby in 1923. At one time this school had 35 pupils but by 1929 the numbers had dropped and the school finally closed. In October 1869 a school opened at Yering (SS no.1034) on land donated by David Watt and W. de Pury. At the time access was difficult for the 24 students because the building was 300 yards from the main road. A new block of land was subsequently purchased from the Joske brothers at the site of the present Yering school. It opened in 1877 and despite fluctuations in numbers over the years it continues to thrive as a small school. For a short period from 1880 until June 1905 a school operated at Yering West (SS no.2252). It was in a small wooden building whose location is unknown. Among the original 20 students were some of the McPherson children. They had to cross the Yarra River in a small rowing boat until a bridge, now known as Henley Bridge, was built. Steels Creek did not get a school building until 1886. By this time the children were travelling up to 5 or 6 miles to schools at Yarra Flats and Dixons Creek by foot or on horseback. The school house was opened on 25 June 1886 with Mr Edward Morris as head teacher. In June 1943 the building was destroyed by fire. Classes for the 24 students were conducted in the church building until a new school was erected in 1945. The school continued and celebrated its centenary before being one of many closed by the Kennett Government in 1992.

Looking
Creek and Yarra Glen and the resulting smaller properties brought more families to these areas, creating a demand for more schools: it was not uncommon for these families to have 8-10 children. In the early 1860s Richard Heales (after whom Healesville is named) had introduced a bill in Parliament which became the Act for the better maintenance and establishment of Common Schools in Victoria 1862. Heales was committed to social and moral improvement of the working classes and education for all children. The Act aimed to coordinate all the schools under one Board of Management. Half the cost of the buildings and furnishing was to be supplied by the local community. A school was established at Healesville in 1866 (SS no.849) and a one-room school building was erected at Yarra Flats (SS no.956) by the end of that year. As these towns prospered their schools became firmly established although relocated to different sites. The schools in more rural areas however have vanished. One of these was at Tarrawarra. It opened with 18 pupils on 9 April 1875 in a rented building, a bark hut on the corner of Long Gully Road and the Yarra Track (SS no.1505). John Reed was the first teacher from 1875 to 1879. In 1876 a portable wooden building was obtained which included a classroom plus two rooms for the teacher to reside in. Pupil numbers fluctuated to the extent that from 1886 until 1890 the vvteacher also worked part time at a school in Gruyere (SS no.1695). The Tarrawarra School was closed in 1892 but re-opened in 1900 in a building erected primarily to serve as a church. It was located at the northern end of the road

Hiring an office space has become the norm for many businesses and community groups. With the technology boom, some business owners have opted not to have a street address and work remotely, utilising services like Cire’s HubSpace when the need for an office or meeting room is required. The ‘room hire with a purpose’ model provides people and businesses within the Yarra Ranges the opportunity to take advantage of the diverse, purpose-built spaces at both hubs at Yarra Junction and Chirnside Park. “Cire’s HubSpace has been great for me as a sole trader. With a small child, it isn’t easy working from home and keeping work and family life separate. The hub is a great location for me and an economical solution to my needs. The cost of local desk rental is largely offset by savings in commuting…” said sole trader Richard Brown. You may find yourself wondering how, as a not-for-profit organisation, Cire’s Community Hubs can offer such a wide range of services. Funding from the local government and, of course, the neighbourhood house is vital to keep the organisation running, but the hubs also rely heavily on room hire. The revenue from both locations goes directly back into the community, providing Cire with the ability to create more programs, groups, and services to further empower and strengthen our community. “With the rise of micro-businesses in the Yarra Valley, we engaged with the community to provide professional working spaces at affordable prices. One of the many comments we hear is how helpful our team are; having someone there to assist with internet access and printing is peace of mind for our hirers,” said Community Coordinator Naomi Taylor. Services like HubSpace can take the stress out of holding events and celebrations. The

The connected battery energy storage system unveiled at Yarra Glen Memorial Hall.
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Ready for a crisis Yarra Glen’s Memorial Hall now boasts solar panels and battery storage allowing the venue to act as an emergency refuge centre and keep the lights on in times of crisis. The Evo Power battery system, installed by True Solar Time, was unveiled in front of Casey MP Tony Smith and Yarra Ranges Council Mayor Fiona McAllister on Thursday 22 April. Council’s sustainability officer and project manager Julian Guess said, “It’s about making some of our emergency relief and recovery centres more resilient, particularly in times when the halls are activated to provide relief and recovery measures. “If the hall was being used in the case of an emergency and there was no main power, this hall would still be able to operate.”
During Black Saturday, the Yarra Glen and Steels Creek areas were impacted by the bushfires. The hall was used to aid locals in need. “On Black Saturday, I think the lighting was still on, but if it (the bushfires) were closer, maybe there would have been no power here and the hall would have been almost useless,” Mr Guess said. “It has the ability to take solar power and the ability to convert that to DC power in the batteries… During the evenings when the sun isn’t shining, that power stored in the battery can be used for those essential circuits.” Yarra Ranges Council Mayor Fiona McAllister said she was “pretty bloody excited” to see the first connected battery energy storage system up and running on council property. She said the projects would free up more money for council to spend on other projects,

while supporting community groups. $70,000 in funding for the project was pledged by Mr Smith at the last federal election. “Of all the things that were pledged at the last election, I’m pretty sure no one else did anything like this,” he said. “There’s the certainty of the savings on power and emissions which are very important, but also the certainty that in a crisis and bushfire, you’ve got these solar resilient centres, where people know they can come. “I am pretty confident that a lot of my colleagues will copy me… That’d be really good if they do.” Identical projects are being put in place at Healesville’s Memo Hall and Yarra Junction’s Yarra Centre.

5G continues to be switched on across the Yarra Valley as new sites at Yarra Glen and Kinglake, joining Healesville, Millgrove and Launching Place in having access to Telstra’s 5G network. Telstra regional general manager Loretta Willaton said, “We’ve expanded Telstra 5G in Melbourne’s outer east with new sites switched on at Yarra Glen and Kinglake. “With Telstra 5G coverage across more parts of Melbourne’s outer east including Yarra Glen and Kinglake, customers with 5G devices can get faster download speeds and enjoy greater capacity during those busy periods on the mobile network. “We’re continually expanding our 5G network across Melbourne and Victoria, adding up to 60 new Telstra 5G sites to the network every week across the country. “With more than 3100 Telstra 5G sites across the country, more than 60 per cent of Australians now live where there’s Telstra 5G.” There are more than 3100 Telstra 5G sites now on-air across Australia, according to Telstra, who have made a commitment to roll out its 5G network to 75 per cent of the population by the end of June. Telstra 5G was switched on in Healesville in April last year. Then in January, many suburbs across the Dandenong Ranges became 5G ready. To utilise 5G, people will need a 5G enabled phone, 5G coverage and a 5G mobile plan. Phones will still revert to the next fastest technology, 4GX or 4G, if in an area where there is no 5G.

Ranges finals triumph By Jed Lanyon When the Eastern Ranges Under 19 Girls last faced the Northern Knights in March it was a low point in their season as they squandered a 25 point lead as the Knights came home strong and stole the lead late in a thriller. The two teams faced off again in an elimination final on Saturday 1 May where the Ranges exacted their revenge with a 28 point victory to put themselves into a NAB League preliminary final. The game was played in similarly hot conditions despite being the second month into autumn and instead of Eastern running away with an early lead, the game was deadlocked for an entire half with no goals coming in the second or third terms. A ten point Ranges lead at three quarter time wouldn’t have been enough to comfort the Eastern girls, who then came out firing in the final quarter, kicking three goals to put the
Eastern Ranges forward Georgia Wilson celebrating her fourth quarter goal. Picture: JED LANYON Knights away and dash their finals hopes. Alyssia Pisano starred once again kicking 3.3 from seven marks for the match as she outscored the opposition off her own boot. Following the game, she was presented with a medal as the Most Valuable Player in Vic Metro’s Under 17s squad.
Co-captain Bridget Deed put in an inspiring performance leading the game in many categories with 24 disposals, five inside-50s and four rebound-50s. Coach Travis Cloke spoke of his team’s finals win. “We talk about line in the sand type of moments in football careers all season and that game was for us against the Knights. We learnt so much as a team about how we want to shorten the ground and how we want to play a bit more of our football. “Probably since then for the last eight weeks it’s really been about our journey as a team and we’re definitely seeing now the rewards. It was some tough love, from a playing group, not from the coaching staff but from the players. They realised what they did right and wrong, so it’s just so enjoyable to see their growth as individuals.” Co-captain El Chaston said the loss to the Knights was a “turning point” in their season.
“We talked on Tuesday and Thursday about how much we’ve improved as a group. Last time we played Northern and got done, we saw that as a turning point in our season, we changed up our game style, went from being three individual units in a team to focusing on a team-first mentality and really working for each other and just celebrating each and everyone’s successes. “No matter who it is, we just get behind everyone and you can see it in the game, when we play we just have fun. It’s the best thing and it’s why we end up with results like today.” Eastern Ranges will now meet the Oakleigh Chargers in the Vic Metro preliminary final at Avalon Airport Oval, 10am on Saturday 8 May. Eastern Ranges: 2.3, 2.3, 2.6, 5.9 - 39 Northern Knights: 1.1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.5 - 11 Best: M. Busch, G. Walsh I. Khoury, B. Deed, A. Pisano, R. O’Dwyer Goals: A. Pisano 3, G. Wilson, R. O’Dwyer
Cross country season warms up with some fast times By Jamie Strudley Nearly 18 months to the day since the last round of Athletics Victora XCR in 2019, Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes welcomed back one of the favourite team events of the year. The opening round of XCR was once again at Jells Park for the cross country relays. Open age athletes completed two laps of the testing 3km circuit as it wound it’s way up and down the parklands of Jells Park. Junior athletes completed one lap each. Stars of the day were our U18 Womens team of Maddie Laven, Mia Strudley and Kiara Flavel winning their age group. The top mens and womens teams had good days finishing 2nd and 4th in their respective divisions, Fastest on the day were James Laven (19.21 for 6km) and Kellie Emerson (23.13 for 6km). Fastest on lappers were Maddie Laven (10.55) and Angus Norman (10.36). A big shout out to Tynan Mims, Thierry Lamarque, Ash Bennett, Mike Willey, Jamie
Pointon, Ky Harris, Bailey van Bert, Mitch Pointon, Ciara Willey and Zoe Clarke, 10 athletes who competed in their first XCR event for Yarra Ranges. Unofficial results are: Men Division 3 (5 x 6km) 2nd James Laven 19.21, Tynan Mims 19.59, Seamus Dwyer 20.22, Thierry Lamarque 23.03, Ash Bennett 22.11 Men Division 6 (4 x 6km) 3rd Paul Todd 24.03, Camden Hewitson 28.03, Mike Willey 27.06, Michael Clarke 23.11 Men Division 7 (4 x 6km) 5th Craig Hewitson 30.16, Bryan Ackerly 27.56, Jamie Pointon 28.46, Jamie Strudley 27.59 Men Division 7 (invite) (4 x 6km) 3rd James Anderson 24.40, Connor Thrall 24.40, Alexis Sketchley 29.34, Tegan Angel 25.22 Men Under 18 (3 x 3km) 11th Lachlan Nicholls 11.51, Ky Harris 11.13, Angus Norman 10.36 Men Under 16 (3 x 3km) 11th Bailey van Bert

Another deceptively challenging course that tested the fitness of a few athletes. Everyone seemed to enjoy the sunshine and the opportunity to post a marker for the PB choccie frogs next time. Next Saturday morning YRA will be at Elizabeth Bridge Reserve in Kilsyth. The club welcomes and encourages all athletes of any age or ability.

Williams produces something special By Tyler Lewis He had threatened in the opening two matches; something big was coming. Leigh Williams has certainly made an impressionable start to the Seville Football Club and one that has echoed across the Outer East Division One competition. The Eastern Football League legend booted 13 majors for the Blues in a thumping win over Belgrave. In the previous two rounds, Williams kicked four and four. But now, he has sent a message to the competition, politely reminding defenders he is going to be a handful. The Blues opened the match with a scintillating first term, kicking 11.6 to the Magpies 0.0. It didn’t get much easier on the eyes for the Magpies fans, as the Blues piled on 25 goals for the day in the 25.12 (162) to 2.2 (14) win. Nathan O’Keefe also bounced back with a handful, booting five. In just three rounds, O’Keefe and Williams are sitting first and second in the league goal kicking with 15 and 21 respectively. Mount Evelyn, meanwhile, has proven it won’t be an easy beat in the race for the Division 1 premiership, topping Officer 15.17 (107) to 11.12 (78). The Roos had just six majors to the final change, before slotting five in the fourth term, but the horse had already long bolted. The Rovers have claimed two scalps in as many weeks, keeping the twin towers of Seville quiet last week and now toppling fellow frontrunner Officer. 22 MAIL

Local golfers head north By Karl Hradsky
There was plenty to celebrate for Mt Evelyn in its big win over Officer. 235947 The Roos now slump to 1-2 ahead of its bye this week. Claiming big wins over top tiered sides is one thing, but smelling blood and pouncing on a side for a percentage boost is a telling sign of a powerful side; the match against Belgrave this week is bigger for the Rovers than it may appear on paper. A Taylor Joyce half a dozen has handed Monbulk a big win over Healesville. The Hawks kept the Bloods goalless in the opening half, while they added just three themselves in a low scoring affair. The Hawks kicked a further five goals to one in the second half, on its way to a 8.16 (64) to 1.5 (11) win. Joyce slotted six, while Tom Taylor was named best afield. Shaun Donkin kicked the solitary major for

the Bloods and Daniel Senior was judged the best for the losing side. Wayward kicking from Gembrook Cockatoo has prevented it from recording a large win against Berwick Springs. The Brookers had the troubles the Titans didn’t in front of goal, kicking 14.20 (104) to 12.4 (76). The Titans had a handy buffer at the main break, leading by three goals despite having less scoring shots. The Brookers overran the Titans in the second half, kicking 11 goals to five on its to collecting the four points. Ryan Ladd was crucial for the Titans, while Liam Henzen was impressive for the Brookers. A difficult loss to stomach for Berwick Springs fans, however the early signs are there for the new group to compete with the best for periods of time.
