Persimmons are pure pleasure ONE of many beautiful things about persimmons is that they ripen at the same time as the tree erupts into its glorious autumn display of reds, oranges and yellows. They are the quintessential autumn fruit. Another, is that they are becoming more available either from the farmgate, or the supermarket shelf, making right now a great time to discover the natural sweetness either as a fresh fruit or in sweet or savoury recipes. Persimmons Australia has lots of tantalising recipes including the Lime Poached Persimmons with White Chocolate Mousse and the Persimmon Thai Beef Salad, a great introduction to this beautiful, but little known, fruit to Yarra Valley kitchens. Lime Poached Persimmons with White Chocolate Mousse What you need: 4 Sweet persimmons, peeled and sliced 1 lime, zest and juice, 1 knob of ginger, peeled, 1 star anise 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of water 200g white chocolate 3 eggs 200ml cream 1 tbsp of sugar 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 pinch of salt What to do: Add sugar to water, add ginger, star anise, lime juice and zest to create syrup for poaching and bring to the boil. Add persimmons slices to syrup, bring back to boil, turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Once cold place into the refrigerator. Place a saucepan half-filled with water

onto medium heat and place a heat-resistant glass bowl on top of the saucepan. Add chocolate to the bowl and slowly melt. Separate the egg whites and yolks in separate bowls. Add sugar and vanilla essence to the egg yolks and whisk until pale in colour. In a separate bowl, whip the cream. Whisk the egg whites, when almost stiff add salt. Remove the chocolate bowl from the saucepan and gradually add the egg yolk mixture, making it fairly firm. Gradually fold in the cream and then gently fold in the egg white. Place mixture into the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours or until mousse is firm. Place persimmons onto a plate, top with a generous dollop of white chocolate mousse and garnish with lime zest. Serving size: Serves 4 Cooking time: Less than 30 minutes
Brush beef with a little oil and barbecue, pan fry or grill until cooked to your liking, 2-3 minutes each side will be medium. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, slice thinly. In a large bowl gently toss all salad ingredients. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake until the sugar has dissolved. Combine beef with salad, drizzle with dressing, serve immediately. Serves 2 For more recipes and information visit www.persimmonsaustralia.com.au
Persimmon Thai Beef Salad What you need: Salad: 250gms fillet steak, trimmed 1 persimmon, peeled and julienned 1 cup coriander leaves 1 cup mint leaves 1/2 cup thai basil leaves 2 shallots, finely sliced 1 long red chilli, seeded and shredded Dressing: 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon caster sugar 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons fish sauce What to do:
Choosing the fruit Selection: Choose persimmons that are smooth, plump, glossy and wellrounded and with their calyx still attached. The fruit can range in colour from a pale orange to a deep red-orange, depending upon variety and stage of the season. Fruit with surface blemishes are fine to eat as flavour and eating quality is unaffected. Storing: After removing the leaves, prepare the persimmon by slicing the fruit or cutting it into quarters. Despite being firm to the touch, handle persimmons with care as the thin skin is delicate and bruises easily. Sweet persimmons that have gone soft are perfect for use in cooking but they must be handled gently. When ripe, persimmons should be stored on their own, out of the fridge.

It’s a feast for the eyes By KATH GANNAWAY RUSSELL Sebire’s family always had a persimmon tree on their property. They had a mulberry tree, walnut, camellia and lemon tree too. “All the old folks had these trees, but they never sold the persimmons then,” he said, weighing up a box of the brilliant burnt-orange fruit for Asian visitors from Melbourne who come up every year to pick and purchase the fruit from his Wandin property. Mr Sebire was the first in the valley to plant an orchard of the fruit which originated in China and has been grown in Southeast Asia for thousands of years. He was way ahead of his time, even on a national level. “I put them in 40 years ago when we first moved into the house, and that was on the first day of 1970,” he says. Persimmons Australia records the early ’80s as the time when the ‘exotic’ fruit was first grown on a commercial scale. His venture is not on a huge commercial scale, in fact he calls the block of fruit trees more of a ‘patch’ rather than an orchard. The idea to plant persimmons went back to his childhood when he says he used to pick them and sell them at the market. “The old folk used to eat them. A lot of people didn’t know them at all and a lot of people still don’t, or that they have to be dead right to eat them,” he said. “There are two types and the soft ones you have to eat when they are almost a jelly texture inside, while the other one is a harder texture.” Migrants have led the way in the growing demand for persimmons and they have always been happy to make their way to Wandin for an autumn treat.
Blinds
“Italian people have a liking for the soft variety and the hard variety is popular with Asian people,” Mr Sebire has observed over the years. Walking through the patch, Mr Sebire said it had not only been a good year for the fruit, but for the autumn leaves. “Some varieties colour up better than others. It depends on how the weather has been and it varies from year to year. It’s been a good year for colour,” he said. As a package, whether you’re picking and packing, or just driving past, the gloriously coloured Sebire persimmon patch is a feast for the eyes.

The Kalorama Chestnut Festival started as a ‘chestnut roast’ within the pre-school grounds at Mount Dandenong and has grown into a major event in the area through the collaboration of pre-school parents and the community. “We are living in an area that
has quite a lot of growth of the chestnut,” Ms King said. “There is a long rich history of selling chestnuts from the kindergarten, which has grown into a beast of its own with the festival.” The Kalorama Chestnut Festival is on Sunday 4 May from 10am to 4pm at Kalorama Reserve.

Leaves back to the soil By KATH GANNAWAY TURNING autumn leaves into a rich, beautiful soil additive is so much better than turning them into a layer of smoke - and it’s easy to do, even if you don’t have a lot of space. Fill two or three sturdy garbage bags with a mix of leaves and grass clippings, layering them until the bags are full. Toss in a handful of cow manure and mix it all up a bit. If you can get your hands on some comfrey, shred a couple of handfuls and mix it in to help with decomposition. Chopping up the leaves with a mower, or a leaf shredder also moves things along a bit quicker. Compress the leaves firmly and add half a bucket of water. Punch a few air holes in the bag with a screwdriver and tie the top firmly. Place the bags in an ‘out of sight’ spot in the yard and turn them every two months or so until spring when you will have a rich, crumbly, organic compost ready to add to your spring garden beds. Best of all, your neighbours will love the fact that you didn’t smoke them out last autumn!

LEAVES IN YOUR GUTTERS? Protect your home against fire and flooding Install AllClear Leafguard made from Colorbond® Steel There is a Colorbond® product on the market AllClear Leafguard that can save you all the hassles regarding leaves blocking your gutters and creating a fire hazard.

of only two or three events where police had been called when the FoI told a different story. Mr Cunningham said Dr James may not have had all the information but that changes had been made. In response to a question about Narconon’s ability to offer services to local addicts he said: “We are a charity and what we offer is a school program.” He said of the 27 students, two were local on scholarships. Pressed by Cr Jim Child on accreditation, Mr Cunningham conceded GODN was not regulated by any outside body. A number of councillors voiced their support for the service Narconon provides and its “good intentions” but said they still had concerns about the risk to the community and were disappointed with the three-page risk strategy presented to the council. Moving the recommendation to refuse a permit, Cr Child said the council was dealing with issues around risk, operations, community and public safety and amenity. He rejected the claim that Narconon was an education centre and said unacceptable safety risks were his main concern. “The risk management plan is not there - there is no accreditation, no regulation - this can’t be established in the urban surrounds of Warbuton,” he said. The council has resolved to work with GODN to establish a suitable location for the facility. Mr Merrigan told the Mail last week that no decision had been made as to whether to appeal against the council’s decision at VCAT.
Rosie’s cat-astrophe HEALESVILLE Sanctuary and other wildlife and animal welfare groups have welcomed the introduction of a 24-hour cat curfew by Yarra Ranges Council. Sanctuary vet nurse and keeper Ian Elton is at the coalface of cat attacks on native wildlife such as Rosie, a rosella grabbed from the jaws of a wandering cat and now looking at weeks of verterinary treatment and rehabilitation. Not everybody is happy with the move however with some cat owners branding the new regime cruel and unenforceable.

She said relying on local police and emergency services was not an adequate plan and that the FoI made it clear that ambulances were not allowed to go in to Narconon without a police escort, there could be delays of up to two hours delays for police with Warburton only a 16-hour station. Warburton police Sergeant Tom Wilkinson also spoke and said while Narconon addressed an important community need, the Green Gables location was not appropriate. He said the isolation at East Warburton had masked some of the problems. “A number of issues are resolved in the time it takes to walk down to the gate and that would not be available if they were close to town,” he said Simon Merrigan from Millar Merrigan represented the applicant and said increased security and changes in the way Narconon dealt with people wanting to leave the facility addressed many of the concerns of objectors. He said there were more than 40 Narconon facilities worldwide and, from his knowledge, none had the level of security proposed for Green Gables. GODN executive director Andrew Cunningham was called in to answer questions from councillors about staff qualifications to deal with violent behaviour, security, accreditation and accountability and direct benefits to the local community from Narconon. Cr Jason Callanan questioned the discrepancy between a statement made by Narconon’s Dr Nerida James at the previous council meeting where she said she knew

INFORMATION obtained under Freedom of Information legislation from Victoria Police has convinced Yarra Ranges councillors that Warburton township is not the place for a Narconon drug rehabilitation centre. At its meeting on Tuesday 11 March councillors refused a planning permit to pave the way for Get Off Drugs Naturally (GODN) to move its Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre in East Warburton to Green Gables in the heart of the town. The council deferred a decision on the application at its December meeting asking the applicant to present a comprehensive risk strategy after the Say No to Narconon objectors group and Warburton police raised concerns about community safety. Say No to Narconon spokeswoman Lindy Schneider spoke at Tuesday’s meeting presenting information provided to her group under a Freedom of Information request. Ms Schneider summarised the information detailing more than 33 incidents relating to violent and psychotic behaviours, alleged drug and alcohol use in as least six of the cases, property damage, threats to kill staff and physical assaults. “The FoI shows that the capacity Narconon has in applying their own procedures and policies cannot be relied on by the community,” she said. She said the planned increase in patient numbers should Narconon set up at Green Gables would be expected to further increase the incident rate, multiplying the risk to public safety.

Festival upholds heritage By KATH GANNAWAY THE second Coranderrk Festival at Healesville on Saturday raised awareness of Healesville’s Indigenous heritage another notch. The festival opened the former Coranderrk Aboriginal Station to the public for a day of music, history, storytelling, dance, art and simply being on the land. Organisers Brooke Wandin and sister
Jacqui said they were very happy with the day. “We believe the message we have been sending out about people learning about Coranderrk is being embraced with a lot more Healesville people at the festival this year, and we’re very pleased about that,” Jacqui said. She said a highlight was the amazing, quality music they were able to bring to Coranderrk.
Among the six-hour line-up were Healesville band Telecom Joe, Waak Waak Djungi with Sebastian Jorgensen, Bobby Bunnungurr and Sally Grice, and Coloured Stone.

APPRENTICESHIP and traineeship completion rates remain poor despite escalating costs. Last Wednesday the Victorian Auditor-General released a report into apprenticeship and traineeship completion and found the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) has seen no increase in the proportion of apprentices or trainees who complete their training. “As was the case in 2004, over a third of people who start an apprenticeship or traineeship do not complete it,” the report stated. “These are disappointing results given that there has been a 37 per cent increase - in real terms - in funding to apprenticeships and traineeships since 2004.” Yarra Valley Educational Precinct committee leader Bernard Dobson said factors such as travel time, condensed course times and students picking the wrong course to start with all affect the drop-out rates. “Students are being asked to complete a four-year course in three years - they are continually being asked to do more and more,” Mr Dobson said.
“I would like to see schools having a greater involvement in helping students in their higher education pathways. “VCAL starts in year 11 and 12 but I’d like to see something in year 9 and 10 for students to really explore options and to experience different trades before they decide.” Last week the Mail reported that the 2011 ABS Census data shows the Yarra Ranges highest education attainment of certificates is 7.2 per cent higher than Metro Australia and 0.3 per cent higher in advanced diploma attainments. Mr Dobson said with the closure of both the Swinburne Lilydale campus and Morrison’s means the outer east was now the most educationally underprivileged region in Melbourne in regards to postsecondary education. “Action is required from all political parties to ensure that this educational disadvantage is significantly reduced by ensuring that the Lilydale site is retained from university, vocational, and community education,” he said. “We call for innovative forms of higher education and training to be considered, including a variety of forms of co-operation between various educational institutions, industry groups and the community.”

Cat’s out of the bag By KATH GANNAWAY WILDLIFE protection and cat welfare groups have applauded new 24-hour cat containment laws across Yarra Ranges. But, as news spreads of the vote by Yarra Ranges Council to make it mandatory for cats to be kept on their owner’s property 24/7, the fur is flying on social media between wildlife advocates, cat owners who support the move, and cat owners who say it is unnecessary and unenforceable. The cat curfew was endorsed unanimously by Yarra Ranges councillors based on community consultation which identified concerns about cats allowed to wander. Those concerns were about environmental and amenity issues with the preference for a 24-hour curfew out-numbering a night-time curfew only by 135
to 91, with eight responses not in favour of any curfew. Healesville Sanctuary director Glen Holland said cat and dog attacks were the second highest cause of the thousands of animal injuries they saw every year. “Most cat and dog owners are responsible; people just need to be aware of the wildlife in their garden,” Mr Holland said. Sanctuary vet nurse and keeper Ian Elton is at the coal face of cat attack on wildlife and cites Rosie, a feisty rosella who is being treated after being saved from the jaws of a domestic cat, as a very good reason for the law he also applauds. “People say cats won’t hunt; well, they will, it’s their natural instinct and you can’t take that instinct out of the cat, but you can control what your cat does,” he said.
Michael Rodd of Cat Kingdom Enclosures in Wandin has been catering to cat-owners need to keep their cats on their property. He said the main reason people come to him is for the safety of their cats, concerned about road accidents and attack by other cats and dogs, or because of neighbourhood problems associated with their cats roaming. The Sherbrooke Lyrebird Survey Group is among the strongest supporters for the new rules saying cats are wreaking havoc on lyrebirds and other wildlife in Sherbrooke Forest and across Yarra Ranges national parks. Former National Park ranges and SLSG president John Lloyd said domestic and feral cats were responsible for killing not only birds but also reptiles and small marsupials. Yarra Ranges resident Anita
Walker contacted the Mail, saying she was excited that the councillors had had the courage to pass a much-needed law. While her main concern is wildlife, she said cat-owners should have the same responsibilities as other pet owners. “Every week, I see a notice about a cat that’s gone missing, so it’s not good for their safety and they are no different from dog owners in that they have an introduced species as a pet. “You wouldn’t let cattle, chooks, horses or dogs wander, so why should cats be any different.” When the Mail asked catowners for their views on our facebook page, many felt it was a cruel and unwarranted punishment on them and their cats, but the majority were in favour - even if they saw problems with putting it into practice.
Stacey May supported a night curfew, but said 24 hours was ridiculous and cruel. She predicted a huge increase in the number of cats dumped at animal shelters. A rise in rats and mice was another unintended consequence flagged by several cat-owners, the cost of runs, and others who work long hours and whose cats are outdoor types were concerned about how to change lifelong habits - theirs and their cats. Yarra Ranges Council has said it will start enforcing the new cat curfew in six months, allowing cat owners time to make the changes. They pointed out that the curfew applies to the owner’s property, not only their house. Information on how to confine cats is available at www. depi.vic.gov.au/pets/cats, and brochures are available at the council’s Community Links.
Bank helps school students to set their sails By KATH GANNAWAY KEEPING their kinder kids sun-smart hasn’t exactly been plain sailing for Warburton PreSchool. Parent Andrew Hunter said he thought that getting the money for the huge sails would be the difficult part but was thrilled, 18 months ago when the preschool was successful in getting a $10,000 grant from the Warburton Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank. Andrew said a company was engaged to make and install the sails, but the hitch came when the relevant permits were needed. “Being on Crown Land, leases had to be drawn up and that wasn’t such smooth sailing,” he said. “We were actually getting concerned that the bank would want their money back,” he said at a launch of the sails last month.
“We were thinking it was just going to be easier to strap umbrellas onto the kids’ backs, but it all came together and we were very fortunate also that the company stuck by their original quotes.” Andrew and other parents who were involved with the preschool at the start of the project came back to see the final result and say a big ‘thank you’ to the bank for sticking with them. Bank manager Darren Pennington said the bank’s aim was to put profits back into the community. “Without the support of people like you, the parents and kids, community banking would not exist,” he said. The bank has donated more than $36,000 in the pre-school since 2005 including money for water tanks, storage, blinds, a shed and for help with fundraising.

Arrest after smash rampage POLICE car windows were smashed, as were shop windows opposite the Lilydale police station and the petrol station next door was subject to an armed robbery in the early hours of Friday morning. A 35-year-old Millgrove man was apprehended and
charged with criminal damage after his crime spree around 3am. Detective Senior Sergeant Allan Price said the man used a brick to smash windows at the shops opposite the police station, before turning his attention to the police cars parked in
the street. “He used a brick to smash the windows of a police van and transit car,” Detective Sen Sgt Price said. “He then went on to commit an armed robbery wanting cigarettes, using the brick as a weapon.” The man will face court at a later date.
Labouring to uphold law THE Labour Day weekend was a success for the Yarra Ranges Traffic Management Unit (TMU). Sergeant John Morgan said the weekend brought excellent results, considering that the Yarra Ranges was classed as a high risk area. He said the Yarra Ranges, one
of the top 10 worst collision areas, was a major focus of road policing throughout the state. “We were able to enforce the law with the help of the Highway Patrol and we were happy to have a large number of preliminary breath tests, the most in the high risk areas,” he said.
Human skull find after fire A SUSPICIOUS fire in the Big River State Forest last month has led to the discovery of a human skull. The skull, which is being examined at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine to establish its identity, was found on Thursday in circumstances that Senior Detective Andrew Dunford from Alexandra Criminal Investigation Unit said could only be put down to chance. The Department of Primary Industry and Environment bulldozed a containment line around the fire which was on the Morris Track off the Marysville-Woods Point Road. Last week they called in a contractor to rehabilitate the area. “The contractor was down there with his excavator on Thursday pushing all the vegetation back into position to rehabilitate and prevent further erosion when he found the skull,” Sen Det Dunford said. “If that fire hadn’t occurred, DEPI wouldn’t have done the containment line, and we wouldn’t have found the skull.” He said no other skeletal remains were found in the area on the day, and declined to speculate further on any possible identitification. In response to the Mail’s question about a possible link to the disappearance of Melbourne man Warren Meyer on Dom Dom Saddle in 2008, he said it was not part of their investigation. “There were several teeth still intact which appear to have had dental work, so we should be able to establish an identity,” he said.

No matter what issue you are dealing with it is important to act as early as possible and seek professional advice. The first port of call should always be your veterinarian to rule out a physical or medical cause. Whether the problem is physical or emotional will determine if your pet needs veterinary or behavioural treatment and in some cases it may be a combination of both. Pets are supposed to be a pleasure not a chore but it is up to us as owners to set them up for success and help them to be the best they can be.

Many of the behaviours I mentioned before can be avoided or resolved if owners address them early. The longer they have been established the harder they will be to extinguish. Every issue will have its own unique trigger or cause and need to be treated on an individual basis. Of course there are some common problems such as thunder phobia, a very frustrating problem for the owner, not to mention the traumatic effect it has on the dog.

At Animal Aid we regularly see owners who are struggling to deal with problem behaviours that inevitably can be traced back to a fear-based response to a real or perceived threat. These can manifest in a variety of ways from inappropriate toileting, escapism, aggression, destructive behaviour, barking or a combination of some or all of the above.

Treehouse tumbling down By JESSE GRAHAM THE Magistrates’ Court ordered Toolangi’s Little Red Treehouse out of the forest in a hearing last week, after a DEPI campaign to find its owner came back empty-handed. Local environmentalists, representatives of the logging industry and the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) attended a hearing at the Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on 12 March for a ruling on the treehouse. It was ordered that the owner of the treehouse - who remains unidentified - must remove the structure in the 28 days following the order, or forfeit it to the Crown for disposal. Wednesday 9 April is the deadline for the treehouse’s removal. The hearing came as a result of a DEPI notice placed on the treehouse’s tree in December, demanding a licence, permit or other relevant permission for the treehouse’s existence. The matter was unresolved, and in February, DEPI applied to the courts to order the removal of the structure. Current treehouse resident, Harley Sanderson, said the mood at the camp and with all the people in the campaign had been one of disappointment since the decision was handed down. With 22 days left on the clock as of Tuesday 18 March, Mr Sanderson said that no formal decision had been made on whether to comply or notcomply with the order.
“If we weren’t go to by that (the deadline), we’d be breaking the law,” he said. “It’s a hard one - people have put so much time and effort into the campaign to save the Central Highlands, and the government just doesn’t care.” He criticised the decision made by the department to have the treehouse removed and said the group would “play it by ear” for the time being. DEPI’s regional Director for the Hume region, Peter Farrell, said the department had hoped to find a solution outside of the courts, but the owner of the treehouse had not come forward. He said the department could not condone “unlawful • Manicured gardens with a heated saltwater pool structures”, and that reasonable • Zoned reverse cycle air conditioning steps had been made to find • Manicured gardens with a heated saltwater pool the owners of the treehouse through notices and advertising in local media. “DEPI respects people’s right to enjoy the forest, however unlawful structures cannot be condoned. DEPI asks that people respect the fact that structures cannot be erected without a licence, lease or authority,” Mr Farrell said.

Dogs to roam unleashed By KATH GANNAWAY NEW off-lead areas will give dog-owners in Yarra Ranges more options to let their dogs off the leash. Four new off-lead areas were endorsed by the council at their 11 March meeting Coronation Park in Healesville and Margaret Lewis Reserve in Coldstream, Hull Road Drainage Reserve in Mooroolbark and Sunset Drive Reserve in Chirnside Park. Yarra Ranges now has 23 areas where dogs can be exercised off lead in a designated section of the park of reserve. Under the new regulations, there are also nine reserves where dogs and cats are prohibited altogether, or in part. Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister said increasing off-lead areas was part of council’s strategy to encourage responsible pet ownership. “By increasing the number of dog offlead areas, dog owners now have more options for places to safely exercise their dogs and be active themselves,” Cr McAllister said. The Draft Order was exhibited for public comment for 42 days during November and December last year. Submissions included the view that there were already enough accessible and well-used off-lead areas, that most dog owners are responsible in both controlling and cleaning up after their dogs, and suggestions for better signage to identify off-lead areas, dog poo bag dispensers, fenced-off areas for exercise and installation of dog agility equipment. Coronation Park in Healesville was nominated as the third most popular off-lead park although it was not an official off-lead area. Full details of the Yarra Ranges’ off-lead areas and regulations on their use can be obtained at Council Community Links and on the Yarra Ranges Council website www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au .

Opinion Pool’s road to nowhere IMAGINE this scenario - the only connecting road between Healesville and Woori Yallock is obviously in extremely poor condition. Large amounts of money are expended each year on patching it up. So it is decided that it will be closed, completely, for an indefinite time while reports are made and plans drawn up about possible future replacement by a new, improved road. This, in effect, is what John Anwin is suggesting for the Jack Hort Memorial Pool - a viable, if ageing, facility - to be allowed to close and for its users to wait for some new indoor pool to be built in Healesville, maybe, at some as yet unknown time. By John’s own admission, an update of the council’s Aquatic Facilities Plan has been coming for seven years and despite the fact that a new pool was “rated highly” and “discussed at length” two years ago, nothing has yet eventuated. Well, perhaps as he hopefully says, “should be” this month. Meanwhile the Hort Pool faithfully continues to adequately serve the large numbers and wide variety of its swimmers. If the council really believes that Healesville needs an indoor aquatic centre, then what’s wrong with them funding the one we have right now until such time as a new one might be built? David Johnston, Healesville.
Logging fells tourism LAST Monday (3 March) in Toolangi, 40 empty log trucks roared up Monda Track from Myers Creek Road during the day, then exited via Sylvia Creek Road, fully laden. The fact that Monday was a public holiday and both Monda Track and Sylvia Creek Road are tourist routes to popular attractions such as The Kalatha Giant, Wirrawilla Walk, Mount St Leonard Tower, the Myrtle Creek-Tanglefoot walking track - and that Monda Track is part of the Bicentennial National Trail - meant nothing to

Send your letters to: editor@yvnews.com.au VicForests, nor their contractors. The antagonism of this government agency towards the tourism industry was blatantly demonstrated by what occurred on Labour Day. Log trucks intimidate tourists and they know it. According to Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh in his letter to Steve Meacher of Toolangi dated 8 January 2014 the estimated number of people employed in the native forest logging industry in Victoria is 2300 (see Mountain Monthly, November 2013). Compare that to figures quoted by the Hon Louise Asher MP, whose Ministerial portfolio includes Tourism, Small Business, Employment and Trade, in a Media Release on 2 January 2014: “Tourism contributed $10.9 billion to regional Victoria and generated employment of 109,000 people in 2011-12” and “in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, tourism contributed $1.01 billion to the local economy (13.4 per cent of gross regional product) and generated employment for approximately 10,400 people.” Meantime VicForests and its contractors continue to hold the Toolangi community to ransom by their deliberate, outrageous assault against tourism. Lorraine Leech, Healesville.
‘Community’ is off course PERHAPS if Upper Yarra ’Community’ House had remained in touch with its original community roots it would not have encountered the financial problems reported on last week’s front page (Course Fee Loans, Mail, 11 March). Two pages later, the closure of Mount Evelyn’s Morrison House was reported (Hard Lessons From Closure). Over the years both these organisations have transformed themselves from small friendly community based groups into sprawling bureaucratic imitation TAFEs, fragmented into scattered premises extending out from their original communities and into Lilydale. Two recent encounters with Upper Yarra
’Community’ House have convinced me that the organisation has drifted a long way from its original community base. For example, the long running Improve Your Writing Skills classes were recently cancelled on very short notice both to the tutor and to enrollees, apparently because a new administrator decided to increase the minimum enrolment number established by previous staff. The fact that one enrollee was away from the valley with no internet capacity to enrol via the net and that another was preoccupied with the sudden illness and hospitalisation of her partner were not regarded as adequate grounds for any flexibility on the part of UY’C’H. To make matters even worse, these two potential enrollees weren’t advised of the course’s cancellation and their enrolment forms and fees were accepted by UY’C’H and later refunded when the enrollees discovered from another source that the course wasn’t proceeding. When I queried the reasons for the course cancellation, I was informed that the organisation is “a business”, which was news to me. If this is true, why is no ABN displayed on the organisation’s web page, which is also silent on its aims and objectives? When did the focus change from being a community house to a business and why then does its CEO refer to it as a “not for profit” in your front page report? Another example - UY’C’H has placed large posters in such places as the Community Health Centre in Yarra Junction offering in home services for elderly and disabled people but, in fact, charging commercial rates for garden maintenance and home cleaning. How is this a “service” and why is a community house masquerading as a “service” to people who, in many cases, would be eligible for subsidised services from the shire? Who owns this organisation anyway and to whom is it answerable? If it’s not the community then it’s time the word was removed from its title. Jude Power, Warburton.
Treehouse red letter day OVER the past five months, residents of Toolangi and the wider community have been inspired by the presence of an elegant structure called the Little Red Toolangi Tree House (LRTTH), perched 30 metres (100 foot) above ground, suspended from the sturdy limbs of a veteran mountain ash tree. The location on Yea Link Road, near the Yea River, is within a rare remnant of mixed-age, high conservation value forest, where lush rainforest hugs the river and mature mountain ash trees dominate the landscape. This area is home to rare native animals such as the Leadbeater’s possum (Victoria’s faunal emblem) and sooty owl. The LRTTH is a focal point for the conservation movement and symbolizes the courageous and creative efforts of environmentalists who are striving to protect native forests from VicForests clearfell logging operations. Several dedicated conservationists have occupied this lofty residence, the longest stay being three months. This has taken great courage and determination and has attracted public and media attention, even reaching international audiences. The LRTTH and supporters have taken on an educative role, and have also made strong connections with indigenous communities. They have also advocated the need for a great forests national park, as scientists call for effective protection of this beautiful mountainous region on Melbourne’s doorstep. The Mansfield Magistrates Court ruling on this day, 12 March 2014, that the LRTTH must come down within 28 days (following a summons by DEPI), marks a sad outcome for the concerned public and supporters. We gratefully acknowledge the inspirational role it has played in our fight to protect the ash forests, native animals surviving there, and the many benefits mature, complex forest ecosystems provide to the environment and associated communities. Bernie Mace, Toolangi.

On Saturday night the Healesville Fire Brigade under Captain Johnstone was called out to quell an outbreak of fire in Fernshaw Road at the rear of a property known as ‘Brockenhurst’ owned by Dr. Stephens. THE danger of inexperienced riders galloping horses on bitumen surfaced road was again emphasised at Healesville on Sunday. A party of young men who were holidaying here for the day rode horses at breakneck speed down the main street and a young man from Kensington sustained a fractured leg through his horse slipping on the smooth surfaces and throwing him to the roadway. The injured man was conveyed to the Melbourne Hospital.

School’s histor y opened up By KATH GANNAWAY THE story of Badger Creek State School No. 3309 is now an open book for visitors to Badger Creek. Two history boards launched on Friday 7 March, in the grounds of the original school building tell the story in words and pictures of the school’s history from when it was opened in Badger Creek in 1899 to the present day. The boards were an initiative of the 1940s/50s Ex-students Group who got together after a reunion in 2011 and worked with the Badger Creek Primary School (BCPS) and the BCOSB Committee of Management to research and design the boards. The grounds of the BCOSB
were packed with current and former students and teachers, and members of the 40s/50s group and the BCOSB committee. Special guests included Yarra Ranges mayor Fiona McAllister and local CFA captain Joshua Martin representing the many CFA members involved in the restoration and continued operation of the old school. The boards were launched by BCPS captains Milla and Tom, Mervyn Bullas representing the reunion group and Kevin Mason representing the BCOSB committee. Mr Bullas thanked the Grade 5 and 6 students and teachers who worked on the board and the Museum of Victoria for
making historic photographs available. He said the school was a very special place with wonderful memories for members of his group and a history that would be of interest to visitors to the area and the local community. BCOSB member Ray Frogley spoke of the fight to save the original school building and how it was dismantled, moved and restored for on-going community use as a Shire of Yarra Ranges facility. See more photos of the launch and former student Lynette Kennedy’s article ‘Badger Creek - The Place And The People’ online at mail.starcommunity.com.au

Sauces enter the fray By JESSE GRAHAM THE Yarra Valley is set to get saucy. A swathe of sauces will come forth for judging early next month, all aiming to have the best of the bunch, and there’s still time for residents to enter their home recipes. Yarra Valley Gateway Estate, Bella Vedere, Gladysdale Bakehouse and Cunliffe and Waters are searching for the best tomato sauce, relish, chutney or pasta sauce in the area. The four businesses have teamed up to run a sauce competition, which is calling on all residents to submit their best tomatobased sauce recipe to be judged by 6 April. Brett Stirling from Yarra Valley Gateway Estate said the competition came from a deep appreciation of sauces, and numerous stories of
secret home-cooked recipes. “So many people come and buy tomatoe sauces and tell us they use their grandma’s recipe ... and it’s amazing just how many stories are behind it,” he said. “There’s a story behind every sauce.” The competition has no entry cost, and a judges Caroline Gray (Cunliffe and Waters), Jason Rush (Gladysdale Bakehouse) and Gary Cooper (Belle Vedere) will be scoring each of the submitted sauces. The public will also get a chance to have their say, with a People’s Choice award being handed out after Judgement Day on Saturday 12 April. Residents can come down to taste-test the top 10 sauce entries and cast their vote on the day, with the judge’s awards and the People’s Choice Award announced at 5pm.
Mr Stirling said judges will be looking at the flavour, consistency and texture of the sauces, among other criteria. First prize in the contest is a cooking class with judge Gary Cooper at Bella Vedere, valued at $150, while second prize is a dinner for two at Rustik Restaurant at Gladysdale, valued at $130. The People’s Choice winner will be awarded a Yarra Valley gourmet food hamper, valued at $100.To enter, drop off 500ml of a tomato-based sauce, relish, chutney or pasta sauce to any of the four participating businesses by 5pm on Sunday 6 April. Entries must have a name, phone number, email address and product description on the jar, and have to have been made this season. For more information, visit Yarra Valley Gateway Estate’s Facebook page or call 9739 0568.

Hot stuff brings tears all round By MELISSA MEEHAN MELBOURNE’S Food and Wine Festival came to the Yarra Valley this month, with local producers keen to show off their produce. The Herb and Chilli Festival was held on Saturday and Sunday, with thousands of visitors keen to get a taste of the hot stuff. The new chilli chicken eating competition was a winner, with a number of contenders putting their hand up to take on the burning sauce.
Each of them devoured the chicken with tears streaming down every face, but a man named Gabi was able to finish first. Last weekend, Yarra Ranges producers were able to showcase the very best of the area as nine Malaysian chefs toured Victoria. Stopping for lunch at Thousand Candles winery in Wandin, the chefs were impressed with local trout, cheeses and beef - even hoping to secure a deal to have the produce at their
own high class restaurants. Herb and Chilli Festival organiser and member of Agribusiness Yarra Valley and chairman of Victorian Agribusiness Council Clive Larkman had his finger in both pies, and said he was especially proud that the Yarra Valley was able to be a part of the Food and Wine Festival. “We have so much to offer here in the Yarra Valley,” he said. “It’s wonderful to be able to showcase that.”

The Healesville AutumnFest will be held from 9am-3pm at Coronation Park on Saturday 22 March, with swathes of local produce, hand-made items and natural products on display. Permaculture Yarra Valley is organising the event and member Paul Judd said this year’s event will be in an expo-style, promoting sustainable living and local agriculture. “What we’re aiming to do is get people to buy local food, so that we reduce
the amount of food miles, or distance that food has to travel,” Mr Judd said. He said that numerous stalls at the festival will be displaying organic produce while some will showcase technologies, such as solar systems and an electric car will even make an appearance. “We’re trying to get people to think more about environmental products and food,” Mr Judd said.

With bees under threat around the world, the focus on honey bees will raise awareness of their plight and the potential consequences for everyone from home gardeners to local and global producers of food, flowers and other plants. “We really wanted to get the information out about how important bees are, how much we rely on them for our food needs and what a massive part of sustainability they are,” Chelsea said. “We wanted to celebrate the honey

Foot tapping tunes CLASSIC Celtic music will fill the halls of a local home for the beginning of a specially-formatted concert series which is set to start at the end of the month. Classically Celtic will be performing at Coomalie, 111 Badger Weir Road in Healesville on Sunday 30 March in a house-concert format that will bring visitors up close and personal with the music. The group’s trio is made up of Cathy Blake and her daughters, Kim and Michelle Doyle, all of whom will perform throughout the afternoon at the venue. The afternoon promises a variety of tunes, drawing on traditional Celtic music, with slow Scottish airs and foot-tapping Irish jigs bringing life and energy to the venue. Coomalie is owned by Cathy’s parents, Brian and Ursula Blake, both of whom have had a lifetime of musical passion and a house designed to maximise musical experience. Brian said the Classically Celtic concert will be the beginning of a six-month concert series, with a different group or performer demonstrating their skills every six weeks at the house. He said that the Concerts at Coomalie series are a chance to get young professional musicians in the spotlight, and give them some exposure to the public, while enjoying classical music. “Music is something you

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.
‘Think safety’, drivers urged
Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill has spoken out about the rise in the road toll.
ROAD safety police are calling on all Victorians to stop the carnage and slow down. At a press conference last week, Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said he urged all Victorians to be more conscious of their road safety. “We have had 58 people killed on our roads as compared to 44 at the same time last year,” he said. “We have had two quadruples, a triple fatality and a number of double fatalities. This is critical for all Victorians - everyone has a role to play.” It comes after the deaths of four members of the Beckett family last
month in Catani and the quadruple fatality in Burramboot on 9 March. “Everyone is responsible for the road toll - we are pleading with all Victorians to take care on the roads,” Mr Hill said. “Be mindful for your road safety. “Be mindful of the road rules and drive within the speed limits.” Mr Hill said the road toll fluctuated but it had been a particularly concerning month on the state’s roads. “The last time we had so many people killed in a short amount of time was in October 2012,” he said. “We need to turn this around. “Everyone needs to be conscious of their road safety. Far too many
people exceed the speed limit.” According to research, 20 per cent of road trauma is caused by low level speeding. Mr Hill said Victoria Police was committed to slowing everyone down. “We need to be conscious of the speed limits and the conditions we are travelling in,” he said. “It is an alarming trend and the Chief Commissioner is concerned - we need to stop the carnage on our roads. “As parents, we need to have conversations with our young kids and young adults that have driver’s licences.” Mr Hill said that it was important that parents spoke to their children about good driver behaviour.
Test blitz targets alcohol HEALESVILLE and Yarra Glen police were part of operation Harrid over the Labour Day long weekend breath-testing drivers travelling through Healesville on Monday. While the Healesville result was good with no positive bloodalcohol results recorded, across Yarra Ranges other results were not so positive. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol and local police across the region tested 5048 drivers with five drivers picked up for drink-driving. Police said to have anyone driving over the limit, and more than 300 other offences recorded was disappointing and only reinforces their commitment to strong and consistent policing of the region’s highways. 116794 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY

PADDLE IN FOR THE RIVER FRONTAGE IN an idyllic setting on approximately three acres, this combination brick and weatherboard home will take the new owners a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a large open plan kitchen, living and dining upstairs, with clear picture windows looking out to the surrounding mountains and dam in the back yard complete with waterlilies. Cathedral ceilings, open wood fire, split system and a formal dining area make this home comfortable, while maintaining an impressive feel. The deck has been built to allow the owners to enjoy the landscape and there is even a built-in barbecue making it ideal for entertaining. The upstairs master bedroom has a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom has extra storage/wardrobe space. Downstairs there are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a study or third
bedroom, big laundry, bathroom and a wood heater. The driveway goes past the dam and finishes at the huge shed that has power, water and a mezzanine floor with a ‘man cave’ set up that is mostly lined. The rear of the property reaches the river reserve and just beyond is the Little Yarra River, a beautiful spot to sit during summer under filtered sunlight. A sprinkler system is set up on the roof of the house and there is a shed, which is used in summer to help keep the house cool on warmer days. A property like this with so many features is hard to find, especially in a location like this. It is within a short drive to Yarra Junction township and both primary and secondary schools. This is ideal for someone looking for a tree change property that doesn’t require a huge amount of maintenance. The selling agent says an inspection will not disappoint.

Blues to defend title YARRA Valley Cricket Association finals kicked off this weekend after a season of intriguing results leading to a much-anticipated finals series. In all grades, final positions were only decided in the final round, so it was expected that the Semi Finals would be closely fought contests. In the competition’s premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, the old adage that form at the right time of the year is vitally important going into finals rang true as reigning premiers Seville face Yarra Junction in the Grand Final. Both sides have clearly been the best in the business since Christmas and thoroughly deserve their opportunity to take out the ultimate prize. Seville hosted Woori Yallock and made the most of winning the toss and batting. With mixed fortunes with the bat in the final two rounds of the home-and- away season, many wondered which Seville would turn up. Woori Yallock has the bowling attack to challenge the reigning champions and early signs were positive for the Tigers. However, the ship towards the Grand Final had already well and truly set sail. In RA Finger Trophy action, Healesville will meet Yarra Junction in an unlikely pairing as most had pencilled in another Healesville/Seville Grand Final battle. Yarra Junction pulled off the biggest upset of the Semi Final weekend as they stopped the powerful Seville line-up in their tracks - halting the Blues in their quest for a fourth consecutive premiership. Yarra Junction was able to restrict Seville to 9/170 in a fascinating battle between bat and ball on day one. Experienced trio Scott Luckhurst (41), Scott Troyhan (33 n.o.) and Garth Woodford (21) ensured the Blues would have a total to defend. However, the equally experienced Chris Fall (5/40) applied the brakes on the innings to have his Eagles well and truly in the race. Launching Place secured their place in the Grand Final with a commanding victory over Seville. Launch scored an impressive 298, on day one, on the back of a superb century by Cam Hoare. Well supported by Lennie Jenkins (42) and Andy Vandervlugt (46), Hoare had Launch on target for a massive score at 5/265 with 20 overs to play. A fight back from Craig Rackham (5/63) and Liam McGookin (3/21) ensured Seville did exceptionally well to restrict the score to under 300. The chase still proved too great for the Blues as run machine Hoare completed a remarkable individual game taking 7/33 and rolling Seville
Seville’s Scott Rackham tries for a single. Picture: GREG CARRICK 116874
Seville’s Lee Aitkins goes out LBW bowled by Jackson Wright (Woori Yallock). 116874 for 89 in the process. In the other Semi, Wandin completed an impressive victory on the road to Marysville. Batting first, Dave Marshall (85) and Jamie Oakley (58) continued their brilliant form with the bat leading the Bulldogs to 257. Marysville have been the in-form team in C Grade all season and one expected the Villains to give the total a shake on home soil. Leigh Fisher (70) has been a star with the bat all season, and at times in their chase, it looked as though he may drag his side to victory. His dismissal in sight of another century brought the challenge to an end as Oakley (4/40) and Brent Johnson (3/47) ensured the Bulldogs would feature in Grand Final action - dismissing the Villains for 165. Like the other grades, many had the top two teams in D Grade, Powelltown and Wandin, well ahead in the race to the Grand Final but after day one of action both semi-finals were well in the balance. Tony Spargo (72) and Lyle Roberts (40) did their best to thwart a formidable Powelltown attack led by Benny Dunne (5/41) and Stuart Thompson (3/44). Seville’s total of 184 had the game well poised however overnight rain and afternoon showers forced the abandonment of the second day’s play ending Seville’s brave fight for a place in the big dance. Wandin posted a tricky chase of 225 on day one of their contest against Yarra Junction with Dave Thorne (64) and Michael Haggar (37) leading the way for the Bulldogs. Youngster Jesse Cook (4/59) and the experienced David Flutter (2/19) kept thing in check with the ball and the value of their efforts became more evident as the second day’s play unfolded. Matt Mallick (99) fell agonisingly close to a much-deserved century, but with the support of Chris Stanes (41) the Eagles won an entertaining affair with three wickets in hand. In the One Day Grade, Silvan will play Yarra Glen in the season decider. Yarra Glen made short work of Wandin, bowling the Bulldogs out for 77 and then cruising to the total with the loss of only two wickets. Premiership favourites Silvan had a tougher
battle against Seville. Eventually, the Blues were bowled out for 160 cutting short their brave fight for a spot in the Grand Final.

Turbocharged evening
Coldstream players observe a minute’s silence. 116868 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY
By KATH GANNAWAY
Silvan and Coldstream made the most of playing to Picture: KATH GANNAWAY a huge crowd. 116868
THERE was only standing room at the Josh Matthews Memorial football practice match between Coldstream and Silvan on Wednesday 12 March. The biggest crowd in years gathered at the Coldstream oval for the ‘Turbo-charged’ evening match that raised $4500 for the Asthma Foundation. Coldstream player Josh, nicknamed Turbo, died last year from a sudden and unexpected asthma attack. He was 17. Both teams lined up for a minute’s silence before the games which
were played in two-quarter blocks of Under 19, Reserves and Seniors. Players Jarrod Healy and John Rafferty paid tribute to the former Under 19 captain, saying Josh had strived to be the best he could and wanted the best for his club since the day he pulled on the blue and white jumper in the Under 12s. “His attitude didn’t only make him a better player, a better person, but it made being around the club a better place,” Jarrod said. Organiser Stacey Adams thanked everyone who contributed, saying it was a great success and a great tribute to Josh.
Commanding Time, ridden by Luke Currie, comes in ahead of Hvasstan to win the Pictures: Bret Tholburt of Slickpix $60,000, 2014 Yarra Valley Cup. 116864
It’s a win, to be sure By KATH GANNAWAY LUKE Currie rode Commanding Time to a win in the Yarra Valley Jack Hirsch memorial Cup at Yarra Glen on Sunday. The race was dedicated to Jack Hirsch, who had been a respected member of the Yarra Glen community for more than 25 years and a successful breed-
er of thoroughbred horses at his Dixons Creek farm. Mr Hirsch died in August last year. Yarra Valley Racing Chief Executive Brett Shambrook said the club was very happy with the day, which was part of a vision to see the club back in its full glory as a fantastic racing and events venue.
