In a development that surprised everyone, Ayla came through the fourhour operation with all limbs intact.

They were told she was left with enough muscle to perhaps be able to support her own weight and use her own legs again to walk.

“We were told it was quite amazing, that it has never happened with a child so young and with multiple limbs so severely impacted.

If it was to be a wheelchair, Ayla said she wanted a fast one; if it was prosthetics, she said she hoped they came in rainbow colours ... and with sparkles.

Ayla’s courage stunned not only her family and friends, but the 13-strong medical team who were working with her.

Paul said he kept in touch with daily Facebook posts and said that the family were amazed and strengthened by the positive messages and prayers.

by morning and Ayla began to stabilise and was brought out of the coma.

She now faced extensive surgery, postponed to the day after her 12th birthday, that very likely required the amputation of multiple limbs.

“The team of surgeons sat around her bedside, it was her birthday, and said we need to let you know that you may lose your legs,” Paul said.

“It was the most humbling thing for us all ... she thanked us and said ‘I just wanted to know’.”

Following further complications they were told to brace for the worst.

“As a dad I just put pleas out there on Facebook ... this is what we’re going through ... ” The response was as unexpected as it was overwhelming and heart-warming.

Paul said people from 11 countries opened their hearts, and their churches to pray for Ayla.

In a turn-around that stunned everyone, the major complication had eased

A WARBURTON dad has told of his family’s rollercoaster between heaven and hell as a rare infection threatened his daughter’s life, and her limbs.

Just over a week after contracting a bout of flu on 10 October, 12-yearold Ayla Tsoumbakos, found herself in Monash Children’s Hospital (MCH), diagnosed with necrotising myositis.

Over the past three weeks, as the family, dad Paul, mum Rachel, 14-year-old brother, Aidan, and Ayla, have come to terms with the fleshdestroying disease, they have been overwhelmed by a 21st-century mix of world-class medical response, prayer, facebook, community support, and Ayla’s own courage and resilience.

The disease is rare in young people and is hard to diagnose as it can mimic several other conditions.

Sitting by his daughter’s bedside at Monash Children’s Hospital on Friday, Paul told the Mail of the shock of Ayla’s sudden deterioration from a bout of flu to the shut-down of her internal organs, an induced coma and the very real threat of amputation of her lower legs.

Aidan was recovering from flu when Ayla came down with similar symptoms, leading them and their local doctor to believe it was also flu.

When it turned to excruciating stomach pain on the 19 October, they headed straight for hospital.

“Her lungs failed, her kidney failed, her heart failed and her liver also gave up for a bit. She was pretty much on machines just to keep her alive and put into an induced coma.

“It was absolutely heart-breaking to see our daughter in that condition.”

They could never have anticipated the next question - “Can we unzip your daughter ... so the skin doesn’t burst.”

They were told that expansion of the body was a critical factor, and in Ayla’s case it was complicated because all four limbs, arms and legs, were affected.

By KATH GANNAWAY WARBURTON Primary School’s oldest former student and the youngest Preppie took top honours at the school’s Springfest this year.

Dick Leith, 91, and fiveyear-old Torah Balding cut a special cake celebrating 140 years of state school education in the town.

The festival is also a major

fund-raiser for the school, and an opportunity to show what the school offers families, open the school to the wider community and community groups ... and have fun.

Faces in the crowd included Casey MP Tony Smith and Eildon MP Cindy McLeish and comedian and puppeteer, Sammi J who added his special brand of fun to the auction.

School principal Damian

Marley travelled through time to show how a headmaster of the 1870s might look, and donned his favourite bell bottoms to represent a 1970s principal.

“All round, it was a very successful day,” Mr Marley said.

“The rain held off, we had bigger numbers than last year, lots of great stalls and a great selection of food and activities.”

Fleming leads a critical plan

By KATH GANNAWAY THIRD generation nurseryman and horticulturist Wes Fleming will head up a committee tasked with establishing an action plan for the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve (YNCR).

Environment Minister Lisa Neville and Deputy Premier and Monbulk MP James Merlino announced the make up of the Yellingbo Conservation Area Co-ordinating Committee during a visit to Yellingbo on Wednesday 4 November.

The YNCR is home to the critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater and pivotal to the breeding program aimed at its survival in the wild.

Victoria’s other faunal emblem the Lowland Leadbeater’s Possum also critically endangered - is found within the reserve.

Establishment of the 13-member committee was one of several recommendations of the VEAC (Victorian Environmental Assessment Council) Yellingbo Investigation Report released in August 2013.

Minister Neville said the committee was crucial in ensuring coordinated action to help conserve and enhance the local biodiversity and habitat for threatened species.

Mr Fleming will bring together representatives of organisations including Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater, DELWP, Parks Victoria, Zoos Victoria - Healesville Sanctuary, Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority, Trust for Nature, Melbourne Water, and Yarra Ranges and Cardinia councils along with community representatives.

The Yellingbo investigation area is extensive, located between the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Ranges national parks. The towns of Yellingbo, Cockatoo, Monbulk, Em-

The reserve itself currently occupies around 600 hectares but is impacted by surrounding public and private land and waterways.

VEAC said several key elements of land management for biodiversity required significant co-ordinated involvement by parties already involved and identified pest, plant and animal control, threatened species recovery, revegetation, riparian land management and research and planning for the management of hydrology as key elements needing a coordinated approach.

It also recommended an ‘independent chairperson’, a role Mr Fleming has taken on board.

He said he sees his role as overseeing a co-ordinated approach to bringing the different groups together to make a difference.

“To me, it’s a very sensible way of

trying to maximise the bang for our buck,” he said.

The ‘buck’ is $3.2 million dollars from the State Government over four years to put VEAC’s recommendations into action and to establish the committee. $500,000 of that goes to Parks Victoria for secretariat support for the committee and implement recommendations including phasing out cattle grazing.

Describing himself as “a practical environmentalist, rather than an environmentalist”, Mr Fleming said that getting the balance right across such an extensive area was one of the big challenges.

He said part of that balancing act included the interests of growers in what was a very highly productive growing area and the management of water that is critical to those interests.

Cr Jim Child, represents Yarra Ranges Council.

Ayla pulls through, happily From page 1 “She has amazed all the teams involved,” Paul said.

Ayla’s rate of recovery continues to amaze, as does her spirit. Although not a religious person, Paul said he had found it hard not to say a word of thanks for all the prayers as he passes the hospital chapel each day.

The Warburton community, including Ayla’s school where she is school captain, has rallied to support the family with practical and financial support.

“A driving force for Ayla’s recovery is the people of Warburton,” Paul said.

“We can’t thank them enough.”

Ronald McDonald House has also proven a life-saver.

“Without them we would have been homeless,” Paul said.

He says Rachel has been his ‘rock’, and Aidan a source of strength and pride for them all.

“He has matured instantly,” he says, struggling to get the words out.

“He stands as tall as I do; I stand next to my son and look at him as a best friend.

“We are so proud of him.”

The Tsoumbakos family say they are indebted to Monash Children’s Hospital for their daughter’s life.

“Without them we wouldn’t have our daughter and sister,” said Paul, who wants to thank the team by raising funds that will help them help other children.

In brief Heavy equipment heist POLICE are on the hunt for thieves who made off with two tractors and a generator from a Yellingbo property last month.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said that between 2pm on 22 October and 6pm on 29 October, unknown persons broke into a shed on a Beenak Road, Yellingbo, property.

Det Sgt Barrow said a padlock was cut from the shed, where two tractors were then stolen.

One was a blue New Holland Boomer tractor, and the other was an orange Daedong tractor, both with buckets on the front.

Combined with a 7KPA generator, the stolen items are worth $50,000, and Det Sgt Barrow said a large vehicle, such as a truck, may have been used in the burglary.

“Based on the size of the items, it’s likely a large vehicle would have been used.”

“If anybody saw anybody around there that was suspicious, let us know.”

The property was not occupied at the time of the burglary.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report on www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Bandits flee POLICE are calling for witnesses after an attempted burglary at the Seville Football Ground last week.

Between 8.50am and 9.25am on Monday 2 November, unknown persons jemmied open a sliding window at the football ground’s pavilion on MonbulkSeville Road.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said the would-be burglars had no time to steal anything, as they triggered an alarm inside and fled the scene.

“Security arrived, but they had gone,” he said.

Nothing was stolen in the incident.

Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity, including people or vehicles at the football club, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report on www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Where there's smoke ...

POLICE are investigating a link between a spate of cigarette thefts around the Yarra Valley and a break-in at Coldstream IGA last week, and are calling on witnesses to come forward. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said that between 8pm on Wednesday 4 November and 7.55am the following day, unknown people forced open a rear roller door at the supermarket, off Killara Road.

Det Sgt Barrow said cash and $20,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen in the incident. He said police were investigating whether the theft was linked to a number of recent cigarette burglaries from businesses across the Yarra Valley.

On 28 June, cigarettes were stolen from the Yarra Glen IGA, and on 15 June, four businesses across the Yarra

3KW

Valley were broken into.

These burglaries followed others between March and April, where tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of cigarettes were stolen from service stations in Yarra Glen, Tecoma, Lilydale, Kilsyth and Eltham North.

“There is a possibility that it’s linked,” Det Sgt Barrow said.

“We’re looking into that at the moment.”

Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity or vehicles near the supermarket overnight on Wednesday is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report on www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Drugs charges A GRUYERE man has been remanded in custody to face court next week, after being arrested in a police raid in Mooroolbark last month.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said that about 6.30am on Thursday 29 October, police executed a search warrant at a Mooroolbark property.

He said a “quantity" of methamphetamine (ICE) was recovered at the property, and three people were arrested.

A 38-year-old Gruyere man was arrested and remanded in custody. He appeared at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Friday 6 November, and was remanded to appear again on 18 November.

The man is charged with possessing a drug of dependence, and property offences.

A 30-year-old Mooroolbark woman was charged with trafficking a drug of dependence and property offences, and was bailed to appear at court at a later date.

A 21-year-old man of no fixed place of abode was arrested on warrants.

Burglars clean up A VACUUM cleaner and a microwave have been stolen from a Lilydale property, in a strange burglary last month.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Pat Barrow said that between 4pm on 23 October and 11.50am on 27 October, unknown persons smashed a rear kitchen window at a Trafalgar Crescent property in Lilydale.

“They’ve caused a bit of damage inside the house, and they’ve stolen a Samsung microwave oven and a Dyson vacuum cleaner,” he said.

Det Sgt Barrow said police were confused about the motive of the burglars.

“None of this makes any sense,” he said.

“Why would you go through all of that effort to steal a vacuum cleaner and a microwave?

“You really couldn’t sell them for very much.”

He said the combined value of the items was $500, and that police were appealing for anyone who may have seen any suspicious behaviour to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report on www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Supporting our volunteers The state of

affairs Christine Fyffe MP Member for Evelyn

WHERE would we be without our volunteer firefighters who turn out day and night to house fires, bushfires, road accidents, chemical spills; being first responders delivering first aid and so much more.

Firemen are important to our community because they save lives.

It doesn’t matter whether a fireman is part of the regular brigades or volunteers.

A fire is a fire is a fire.

That means that any fireman, whether MFB or CFA, can come into contact with potentially toxic fumes on any call out.

Most houses contain plastic which, when on fire, release petrochemical fumes that are toxic.

When inhaled, and after an unknown amount of exposure, the health of a firefighter may be at risk.

The Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria, which represents volunteer CFA firefighters, has launched a campaign to encourage Victorian MPs to back them on securing proper compensation in cancer cases.

They have asked MPs of all persua-

sions to sign a pledge saying: “I will support CFA volunteers with cancer� and “I will vote for non-discriminatory Presumptive Legislation for ‘all’ Victorian Firefighters�.

On 29 October, I became the second Victorian MP to sign this pledge as it is my personal belief this is the right thing to do.

This action has been brought about by a need to ensure that legislation drafted does not discriminate against the men and women in our volunteer brigades who protect our communities.

Queensland stipulates in their legislation that a volunteer firefighter must have attended at least 150 exposure incidents to extinguish, control or pre-

vent the spread of a fire.

It appears that Premier Daniel Andrews wants to copy this flawed legislation.

The VFBV rightly argues the laws should not be based on the number of fires attended.

Setting a requirement as high as 150 exposures is likely to deny justice for many volunteer members who have come into contact with toxic substances.

Also, different people have different sensitivities.

Are we going to deny justice to someone who has been exposed to 149 fires just because it doesn’t fit the cookie cutter cut off?

Community Diary

There is sufficient evidence from both international and state commissioned studies to substantiate the level of risk our firefighters face when coming into contact with toxic substances.

We need to take it seriously.

Fire doesn’t discriminate between different brigades and legislation shouldn’t discriminate either.

Our volunteer firefighters in the CFA have other jobs.

They drop what they are doing day and night to protect us and our homes.

Why can’t we return the favour and apply the rules fairly so that our volunteer firefighters aren’t left facing the fight of their lives on their own?

Courses on right course

By JESSE GRAHAM THE VICTORIAN Government has poured cold water on rumours that students would have to pay to change their preferences for Box Hill Institute (BHI) next year, after the provider was announced for the former Swinburne campus.

BHI, along with Deakin University and William Angliss Institute, was announced as the provider for the former Swinburne campus by the government on 19 October.

The provider then released its course offering for 2016 on Wednes-

day 28 October, dubbing the campus the “Lilydale Lakeside Community Education Precinct”.

A number of certificates and diplomas will be available at the campus from first semester next year, including Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, a Diploma in Stage Make-Up and a Certificate IV in Business.

Bachelor of Early Childhood (Education and Care), Bachelor of Community Services and Bachelor of Biosecurity Science university courses are also available at the campus beginning next year.

But Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe raised the question of whether students would have to pay $98 to change their course preferences, and if the fee existed, whether the government would foot the bill.

A government spokesperson said that students would not have any costs to change their course preferences through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).

“The Liberal Party needs to stop scaremongering Lilydale locals by claiming they’ll have to pay to change their preference to study there,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said BHI would also be offering courses outside of VTAC, and students can apply directly.

BHI CEO Mr Gray said hospitality and tourism courses would be offered on site by William Angliss Institute.

“Courses in English as an additional language and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) will also be on offer, so that students can get the skills they need to pursue further study,” he said.

“We know that child care access can be a barrier for some parents, so we’ll also have child care places avail-

able to make it easier for students with young children to study at Lilydale Lakeside.”

Re-opening the campus following Swinburne’s closure in 2013 became a major policy platform for Victorian Labor in the lead-up to the 2014 State Election.

The campus will also host the Yarra Ranges Technical School, another election commitment, with Melba Support Services to remain on site.

Push for disabled taxi

By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S Social Enterprise Taxi, Beth, may have a sibling coming on board soon, as fund-raising continues to bring a wheelchair-accessible maxi-taxi to the Yarra Valley.

The group behind the Social Enterprise Taxi, Freedom by Design, is working on fundraisers and seeking donations to bring a maxi-taxi to the valley, with the group aiming to gather more than $30,000.

Freedom by Design board member and taxi driver, Jen Ashton, said that $47,000 had already been raised towards bringing a larger taxi, which could seat more people and was more accessible for people with disabilities, to the area.

Ms Ashton, along with coboard member Chris Plevko, told the Mail there was a clear

need for the maxi-taxi in the area.

“There’s never been one out here,” she said.

“We get a lot of groups, they catch maxis out from the city with the assumption that they can get one back - a lot of the feedback from the tourism businesses is that the taxi service in the past has been a major frustration.”

With an overall goal of $80,000, the group is working to secure more donations, raffling off the first Social Enterprise Taxi - the original Beth which has just been replaced by a newer car.

Ms Ashton explained that the original Beth, a stationwagon, was a former metropolitan taxi - cars are only allowed to be on the road for six years in the city, but can work for another year and a half in regional areas.

Jen Ashton in Beth, the social enterprise taxi. 146505 Beth has now been replaced with a larger car, Beth II, which Mr Plevko said would help with difficult-to-access areas around Healesville and the valley.

The goal with the Social Enterprise Taxi, Ms Ashton says, is that funds from the taxi will go to the charity, which assists people with autism and disabilities.

She said Freedom by Design would help to fill government

funding gaps.

Along with the raffle, run through Elamo Automotive at $10 a ticket, the group aims to set up a crowdfunding page to raise extra funds.

Ms Ashton said a grant from

the Taxi Services Commission required the new taxi to be on the road by February - just three months away.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 9 November 1935 Healesville’s Sunday Troubles LARGE vanloads of picnickers again journeyed to Healesville last Sunday, despite recent discouragement given them as unwanted visitors. The ire of the municipal authority was further aggravated by the invasion of a troupe of camels, whose owner advertised rides on Sunday afternoon, along with a display by a bucking mule.

Steps to prohibit the proceedings were nullified by the fact that there is nothing derogatory to camels in either the municipal by-laws or the list of police offences. Knowing this, the owner refused to hoove his animals, and did brisk business with the crowds of motor van visitors, the local authorities being powerless to intervene.

Healesville Amateur Cycling Club LOCAL interest in cycling is being revived with the formation of the Healesville Amateur Cycling Club, with the following officers - president: Mr I.

Precipitation just pitiful

By KATH GANNAWAY “PITIFUL" is how Warburton rainfall recorder, Keith Thomas, describes the area’s October precipitation.

“With Victoria having faced its hottest ever October, it’s not surprising that our rainfall at Warburton for October could only be described as pitiful,” Mr Thomas said.

His rain gauge was sad - only 46mm against the October average of 142.3mm and a yearly average to date of 930mm, far short of the average of 1115mm.

Alma Mitchell in Healesville recorded 46.7mm over seven rainy days compared with

85.5mm last year over 17 days, while Doug Armstrong in Hoddles Creek recorded just 44mm against 117mm in October 2014 and a JanuaryOctober tally of 907mm against 975 last year.

The long-term average is 116mm.

A correction to Hoddles Creek’s September tally is 70mm against 94mm last year, and January to September figures of 873mm against 858mm.

The news is not good for Melbourne’s storage dams either.

“Melbourne’s storage dams are falling at an alarming rate, now holding only 1,330,918 megalitres which equates to 73.4 percent of capacity,” Mr Thomas said.

Letters Hub snub a missed chance LOCALS in the Upper Yarra should be bitterly disappointed that the Andrews Labor Government has squandered yet another opportunity to boost much-needed jobs by supporting the Warburton Mountain Bike Hub project under its Interface Growth Fund.

The government’s announcement that it would preference a community hub at Belgrave in the Deputy Premier’s electorate over jobs and investment show Daniel Andrews cares more about politics than jobs in our region.

The project’s feasibility study - supported by the shire council, in partnership with Parks Victoria, Yarra Ranges Mountain Bikers, the

Warburton Valley Community Economic Development Association and the Previous Warburton Advancement League - shows that this project is a winner.

It is expected to inject an estimated $23 million into the local economy, creating 175 jobs.

An additional 130,000 new visitors are expected to be attracted to Warburton every year.

Businesses in the region need a boost.

The Interface Growth Fund provided an avenue for funding to complete this high-priority project, but the Premier and his minister have once again failed to put their support behind this shovel-ready project and local jobs.

Cheers to our volunteers

By KATH GANNAWAY IF you have ever raised a glass at Shedfest or the Yarra Valley Shortest Lunch in recent years, then raise a glass again ... this time to yourself.

Over the past 17 years the events staged by the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries Group have raised over $60,000 for local emergency services organisations.

Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries president Tim Cullen from Payne’s Rise Wines presented Seville CFA with a cheque for $5200, the proceeds of the 2015 Shortest Lunch at the brigade’s annual dinner this year.

CFA and SES units have benefited since 2008 when the first event was held and Mr Cullen said over that time $31,900 had been raised from

the Shortest Lunch and $31,500 from Shedfest.

“These events are good for us as smaller wineries in the valley,” Mr Cullen said.

“As operators we want to attract people to our individual cellar doors but we work on these two events as a group to promote the smaller wineries of the valley.

“They have proven themselves as successful long-term events and we enjoy putting them together and being able to support our local emergency service volunteers as part of that,” he said.

Seville CFA Captain David Clark thanked the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries Group and said the money would be put towards celebrations to mark the brigade’s 75th anniversary next November.

Close Encounters

AN EAST Timor teen received dignity-restoring surgery, and got the chance to meet his favourite furry friends at Healesville Sanctuary last week.

Heldericky (Ricky) Da Cruz Tolentino from East Timor was given the gift of a lifetime to have surgery on his right leg, and the opportunity to meet and feed some kangaroos at Healesville Sanctuary.

The 18-year-old hand fed the friendly kangaroos at Healesville Sanctuary on Thursday 5 November, just three weeks after having surgery on his right leg for a vascular malformation and atrophy in his right leg.

On 21 September, Ricky was brought to Melbourne from Lospalos, East Timor, by the Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) to receive his surgery aimed at allowing him to walk freely without pain.

Rotary Club of Healesville member Graeme Chester organised for Ricky to come to Melbourne for his much-needed surgery.

“Ricky has been walking with a limp ever since he was three, so to see him up and walking is remarkable,” he said.

At Healesville Sanctuary, Ricky was given the opportunity to have a magic moment with the kangaroos to get up-close

CHRISTMAS The finest of wines on estate ALL I WANT FOR

TOKAR Estate, situated in what can be called the ‘dress circle of The Yarra Valley’, has been part of the Yarra Valley fabric since 1995.

From land covered in tussock grass, thistles and snakes - to a beautiful vineyard covering over 30 acres, and well established gardens - this was 20 years in the making.

The vineyard now produces some of the Valley’s finest wines, winning gold medals and trophies in wine shows locally and regionally.

Tokar Estate’s 2014 Pinot Noir won three of the top trophies at the recent Yarra Valley Wine Show.

This was a great accomplishment for the whole team, while the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon won a gold medal at the prestigious Royal Melbourne wine show, being only one of five wineries to win gold and the only one from Victoria.

This makes it three years in a row for Tokar Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.

The restaurant continues to create amazing menus, which complement the wide range of wines available.

The new summer menu starts in December and will highlight those hazy days of summer, with mouth-watering dishes.

For those who wish to celebrate in a large group and want a more Christmas inspired menu, the chefs at Tokar Estate can accommodate your needs.

The restaurant specialises in intimate family gatherings, important corporate functions, fun lunches with friends or just a cosy meal for two.

The roses are in full bloom and their perfume fills the air; the vines are growing majestically every day.

The view from the deck stretches as far as the eye can see, making dining so much more pleasurable.

Tokar Estate is open every day for lunch and dinner on Saturday nights, with private functions and weddings by arrangements.

Visit Tokar Estate at 6 Maddens Lane, Coldstream.

CHRISTMAS Time for a tasty treat ALL I WANT FOR

WHETHER you’re a local or just passing through Healesville, you’ll never be disappointed with a visit to the Beechworth Bakery over the Christmas period.

The bakery has a long and proud history of serving high quality baked goods as well as supporting the local community.

Originally established in Beechworth, the Healesville bakery is one of six that are located in Victorian towns.

Now a Healesville icon, the bakery combines oldfashioned service with modern facilities, with pies, cakes and sweet treats for kids and adults to enjoy over the Christmas period.

Manager Kyle Bray says that customers are drawn to the personal touch provided by the employees.

“We offer great customer service and enthusiastic and friendly staff to cater for our customers’ needs,” she said.

Open seven days a week, from 6am to 6pm, the bakery is the perfect location on the Maroondah Highway in Healesville.

It caters for groups of all sizes and offers a huge car park, capable of holding anything from motorbikes to caravans.

While sitting outside, visitors to the bakery can enjoy great views of the mountains from the relaxing outdoor setting.

The grassed area allows visitors to take in the beautiful park bridge, as well as making for easy access to the park.

Inside, the bakery has a friendly and relaxing vibe, and a cool place to sit away from the summer heat.

It boasts an open-seating plan, plenty of tables, a play area for kids and couches for

the travel weary.

Kylie says the bakery sells a great range of products, including the classics that have made it so renowned in the area.

“We sell various pies, our famous bee stings and vanilla slice,” she said.

“We also have an established range of gluten-free products.

“We have something for all ages.

“For the kids, we have zoomers and shortbread biscuits.”

The bakery offers all-day breakfast, lunch, early dinner, vegetarian delights and catering for groups of all sizes.

For those after a pick-meup, barista-made or bottomless coffees are available, or just a hot chocolate to enjoy with the family.

Perhaps, it is the homemade touch that makes the pies so good, with pies proudly made by Beechworth Bakery employees.

Those spending more than $15 in store will go into the draw for daily prizes, as well as for the ultimate Christmas hamper, which will be drawn on 24 November.

The bakery is also taking pre-orders for Christmas products.

Among its many specialties is the bee sting - a sweet bun lightly spread with apricot jam, filed with the creamiest custard and topped with toffee almonds.

It has proved a must-try for the many visitors to the region, who have flagged the bakery as a good stopping point as they make their way to Eildon or the alpine area, or as they tour wine regions.

For more information, contact the bakery on 1300 233 784.

Barb Honan - Barb’s B&B AFTER more than 40 years in the hospitality industry, including 10 years as catering manager at Healesville Sanctuary, and another decade and a half at the Mountain Views.

Barb opened her bed and breakfast accommodation, Barb’s B&B, in November 2004.

She was looking for a new direction at that time and after talking with friends in the accommodation industry in Healesville came up with the idea for a B&B. “Having been in the industry and with a real love of meeting new people and keeping busy, it was the perfect solution.

“I became very enthusiastic and plans were soon in place for the modern, comfortable and wellfurbished B&B which I have enjoyed enormously,” she said.

Lindy Le Page is the Client Services Manager at AURRUM Healesville Aged Care, which serves the Yarra Valley community and neighbouring areas.

Sandy Hall has been involved in Real estate for over 18 years.

She is a local resident, an independent agent with a strong level of commitment to honesty and ethics not normally associated with the Real Estate industry.

Her enthusiasm and personal commitment to both the Vendors and Buyers is a testament to the fact that she has attended many conferences and courses of the years and has received a gold medal industry award as recognition of her ability and has countless testimonials from happy Vendors and buyers.

Sandy says ‘Now is a great time to sell having buyers and investors just waiting to purchase in most areas of the valley’.

Centrally located at 2874 Warburton Hwy Wesburn, pop in or phone 5967 2001 or 0402 260 364 to discuss all aspects of Real Estate.

Lindy has worked for many years in the Aged Care industry in Melbourne, and moved to the Yarra Valley 18 months ago. Prior to this, Lindy worked across many different fields with a broad range of experience in all facets of Administration and Sales.

Her role at AURRUM is a busy but satisfying one. She manages all enquiries from the public and health sector, and assists families with care and empathy during what can be a difficult and stressful time as they seek to navigate the complexities of aged care for their loved ones.

“Basically I try to make the process as simple as possible and guide families every step of the way.

I love my job. I get to show off our wonderful facility and the great work our staff do here. AURRUM took over ownership of this facility 18 months ago. I have watched it grow and develop over that time and been instrumental in helping to place residents here, taking our occupancy from 67% to now 98% “ Lindy has two grown children living in Melbourne. “Instead of my kids moving out of home – I moved out of home!!!”

Lindy prides herself on being available for the community should they have any questions about aged care and how it all works. “Anyone is welcome to contact me regardless of where they wish their loved one to be placed as many of our Yarra Valley baby boomers are placing parents all over Australia. I just see this as providing the community with a service not readily available elsewhere.”

Organising committee member David Johnston says the performers come from around Australia, including Adelaide’s The Yearlings, who will play at the Terminus on Saturday night.

He said the festival had grown since its first year as a day-long concert in Queens Park, and that this year’s event had items for ticketholders and those passing through the area.

“You won’t be able to avoid music of some sort, whether it’s a guy playing alto saxophone, or whether it’s the Grand Hotel and Pans on Fire will be performing there, under the balcony,”

Picture: CONTRIBUTED he said.

Mr Johnstone said the event had been ‘blossoming’ over its six years, and would continue to grow with the feedback from this year’s event.

“I think the trajectory, or the way we’re gradually blossoming is good, and obviously, having music in the RSL and the Terminus and The Memo has worked,” he said.

“If Saturday morning and Sunday morning, and Saturday night work, then obviously we’re not going to ditch them the following year.

“They’ll become the core, and the

core will get bigger.”

Ticket prices vary, with full weekend passes for $50, Saturday passes for $30, Saturday workshop passes from $10 and Sunday passes for $20, with discounts for concession holders.

The Saturday night bush dance is free, but bookings are essential.

Weekend of art, music and films

By JESSE GRAHAM A MUSIC festival with a difference will be held at Moora Moora Co-op later this month, with a weekend of art, films, music and workshops kicking off next weekend.

From Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November, the EarthArtBeat festival will be held at Moora Moora, on Mount Toolebewong near Healesville.

The festival will feature performances by Tek Tek Ensemble, Afrovival and the Oil Can Project and Babaganoush, among others, set over three days.

Event organiser and Moora Moora resident Chelsea McNab said the festival was also about showcasing artists and independent films, with a screening of Peter Charles Downey’s Surviving Earth on Saturday and art installations around the property through the weekend.

Talks and workshops will also be held over the weekend, with kids activities, painting and yoga, as well as

tours of the co-op.

Ms McNab said the event would also mark Moora Moora’s 41st birthday.

Though tickets to the festival cost $140, Ms McNab said the event was not for profit, with proceeds going to the co-op’s Community Development Fund, for a grants program for environmental groups.

“It costs because, it’s a not-forprofit event, but we’re also paying the artists,” she said.

Ms McNab, who also organises events for ECOSS in the Upper Yarra area, said the event was inspired by the Commonground Festival near Seymour, and that the two festivals would be run as a tag team, with one year on and one year off.

“The model just seemed to work, so we kept it the same,” Ms McNab said.

Entry to the EarthArtBeat festival is $140.

For more information on performers and artists, or to buy tickets, visit www.earthheart.org.au.

Moora Moora residents are inviting visitors to EarthArtBeat festival on the weekend of 20-22 November. 146432 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

It’s a fund-raiser with the lot

By JESSE GRAHAM BUDDING archers, car buffs, and valley visitors are being invited to the Lilydale Airport later this month for a special Pink Day fund-raising event.

On Saturday, 21 November, the Yering District Archers will be hosting their Pink Day fund-raising event at the Lilydale Airport in Yering.

Member, Jarrad Alston, said the event was organised to be a fund-raiser for the cancer support group, the Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink (YVLIP).

From 8am-2pm, the airport will be filled with archers, cars and bikes, live music, and a jumping castle for children, with all proceeds from the event going to YVLIP. Residents and visitors are encouraged to bring their own cars and bikes to display for the Car and Bike Show and Shine, Mr Alston said, though only pre-1985 cars with chrome bumpers are allowed to take part.

There are no restrictions on bike entries, and entry to the car and bike show is $5.

Budding archers will be able to try their hand at the sport over the morning, with sessions run from 9am-10am, and 10.30am-11.30am.

Crimson Peak: for sumptuous goths Crimson Peak Starring Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain Rated MA15+ for strong, bloody violence

Brother and sister Damon, 7, and Paige, 4, practice their archery at the Picture: ROB CAREW Lilydale Airport. 145392 After the archery sessions, Mr Alston said the Yering District Archers would be holding a tournament for visitors to watch, with prizes for the winners.

He said that about 60 archers from around the state would compete in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Mr Alston said part of the airport would feature market stalls with food and drinks, and children’s entertainment will be provided.

The Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink is a support group for women who are liv-

ing with cancer, or caring for someone with cancer, and run a respite home near Powelltown.

For more information about the Car and Bike Show and Shine part of the fund-raiser, call 0408 682 488.

For more information about the archery sessions, which cost $15, call 9739 4727.

The Pink Day fund-raising event will be held at Lilydale Airport, 13 McIntyre Lane, Yering. Entry is free, though gold coin donations are accepted.

CRIMSON Peak is a sumptuous, eerie gothic romance film by Mexican macabre master Guillermo del Toro.

In the late Victorian era, young author Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is romanced by the dashing inventor Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston). They swiftly marry, but Edith soon uncovers a dark secret about Sharpe and his home of Allerdale Hall.

The plot is slightly contrived, in that it wouldn’t have progressed if certain characters had disposed of or acted upon convenient information.

But if you can get past this clumsy set-up, Wasikowska’s somewhat flat leading performance and the scarcity of the ghosts (after their

prominence in the misleading trailers), Crimson Peak is a disquieting slow-burner about love and depravity among the living.

As with all of del Toro’s films, the art direction is staggering, full of rich colours, beautiful costumes and gruesomely grandiose imagery. The pacing moves steadily and maintains a deeply unnerving atmosphere of helplessness and distrust; the villains’ intentions are clear from the beginning, but they are still allowed an impressive level of nuance.

Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain (as Sharpe’s sister Lucille) steal the show, and Chastain (without spoiling anything) is terrifyingly driven and unhinged later in the film.

Though it falters in the story department, Crimson Peak thrills and chills with its vivid atmosphere and great performances.

A HOT AIR balloon festival that drew thousands of visitors to the Yarra Glen Racecourse last month could become a stand-alone event next year, after a ‘terrific’ inaugural year.

The Yarra Valley Balloon Festival (YVBF) kicked off after Cox Plate Day finished on Saturday, 24 October at the racecourse, illuminating the darkened grounds with 13 hot air balloons lighting up on the evening.

Skydiving displays and lanterns were also held at the racecourse, before a fireworks display filled the evening air, as more than 5000 visitors looked on.

In the morning, tethered hot air balloon rides were available for a gold coin donation, and the 13 balloons took to the skies for trips around the valley.

Yarra Valley Racing CEO Brett Shambrook said the event was a plan to test the waters for launching the event independently, citing the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, which attracts more than 100,000 visitors over 10 days.

“When we started with the idea of the balloon festival with Yarra Valley Marketing, we really wanted to dip our toes in the water with a view to seeing if ... we could turn it into a bigger event,” Mr Shambrook said.

“It was terrific - it exceeded all of our expectations, to be honest.”

The YVBF featured a photograph competition, where photographers were invited to upload their best photo from the weekend with the hashtag #YVBF15 and the best photos

The Yarra Valley Balloon Festival started with a night glow Picture: BARB HONAN of 13 balloons. 146586

Yarra Valley Racing CEO Brett Shambrook with Eildon MP Cindy McLeish at the Balloon Festival. 146586 Picture: BARB HONAN would be chosen for a $500 cash prize.

“It was enormous,” Mr Shambrook said.

“It was like a scene out of Storm Chasers, with the cars driving around the highway, trying to get the best photo.

“I think people came from far and wide to see it.”

The top 30 photos from the event are up on the Yarra Valley Racing Facebook page for a public vote.

Mr Shambrook said that, despite some issues with traffic

management - and wind ending the tethered balloon rides early - he was happy with the first event, and now discussions were set to begin for bringing the YVBF back for another year.

“We’ve got to sit down and talk about it with Yarra Valley Marketing - whether it’s involved in a race meeting next year, or if it’s a stand-alone event,” he said.

YARRA Glen Primary School had an afternoon of activities for the community on Thursday 29 October, hosting its latest annual twilight market.

The market is organised by students and staff as an initiative to teach students about commerce, business and handling money - and is a chance for the community to come and take part in activities as the end of the year draws closer.

In the lead-up to the event, Heartland Church Pastor Mike Baimbridge said the event aimed to bring the town together for “a couple of hours of community celebration", with hundreds expected to pass through the gates.

Mail photographer Rob Carew was at the event to capture the moments.

16 teams defy storm report

Bowd Bags a win: superb nett 64 in a show-stopper WEDNESDAY, 4 November: Stroke and M. McGrann ‘Bag-day’: winner: Pat Bowd with a superb Nett 64. The runner-up was Kevin Conway with 66. Balls went down to 72. The nearest the pins went to Mick-Eldridge (3rd), Ken Barratt (10th) and on the 15th, Ralph Logan. Twilight results: Kim Kennedy scored 19 points to win the day, with Paul Munro runner-up on 18. The ball rundown went to 17 only. The nearest the pins winners were Jason Kennedy (3rd), Ralph Logan (9th), and Ken Barratt on the 1st for the nearest 2nd shot.

Club-Championships: The most important board event began on Saturday 7 November. These are

competed for in three grades for the men, and 1 grade for the ladies. In each grade, there is a gross winner (score ‘off the stick’) and a nett winner (where the handicap is deducted). The following results are the daily ones where only two grades are listed. The results on Day 1 saw the following: A Grade was taken out by Peter Bell, with a terrific nett 68. B Grade was won by the ever-consistent Kevin Conway with a slashing nett 65. The balls went down to 73. The nearest the pins were Butch Hollis (3rd), Paul Mason (9th), Jon Cross (12th) and Dave Hatt (15th). The best gross round on the day was an excellent 70 by current club champion, Paul Mason.

Round 2 of the championships was held on Sunday 8 November: The following are the daily results: A Grade winner was David Hatt with a steady nett 70. B Grade went to Mike-Dobson, with the best nett score of the day; an impressive 67.

The balls went down to 73. Nearest the pins were David-Clinch (3rd), Mike Dobson (9th), Craig Brown (12th) and on the tricky 15th: Craig-Staggard. So, at the halfway stage of the championships, the Open (A Grade) is led by defending champion, Paul Mason. He has a commanding 13-stroke lead over previous multi-winner, AndrewWilliams, and will be hard to catch from there. In B Grade, Steuart

Hawke has a ‘handy’ 5-shot buffer from Andy-Lockey. (That looks like a two-horse race, but anything can happen in golf). In C Grade, young Steve-Noonan has shot 96 and 90 to be just 1 shot clear of winner, Mike-Dobson. Finally, the ladies are battling it out over 3 rounds, so after the first one, Meredith Nursey is showing her class by shooting an impressive 83 ‘off the stick’ for a slender 2-stroke lead over young tyro, Kim-Kennedy. Lynda Dickson and Dot Stephens are still well in the battle for nett honours. The next round will be held on Saturday (14) with the final round sorting out the winners by Saturday (21) November. Good luck to all.

Good luck to all the teams and a big welcome to all the first-time bowlers.

Eagles in strong position

By CHRIS ANDERSON SATURDAY saw some intriguing action on day one of Round 5 action across the Yarra Valley.

With the contest for ladder positions already heating up, neither bowlers nor batsmen gave an inch to secure valuable ground at the mid-point of all games.

Yarra Junction hosted Warburton-Millgrove and probably just took the honours on day one, despite the Burras showing some fight late.

The Eagles had the visitors on the ropes midway through their innings before some wise old heads navigated the Burras to a competitive position.

Gun bat David Lever (30) kept his team in it early as the Yarra Junction bowlers won the opening exchanges, and had the Burras on the ropes early at 5/50.

Sensing some good old-fashioned dour, and gritty batting was in need, the experienced trio of Mick Walker (48), Liam Barnard and Adam Humphrey (28*) stepped up to the plate and ensured that their side would not only see out the day, but would compile a total that would put them in the contest.

When all was said and done, the visitors were able to post 9/162.

The Yarra Junction bowlers put together another disciplined bowling performance, with all bowlers making a valuable contributions with Terry Ottrey (3/18) and Cam Spaulding (2/48) being the standouts.

One would suggest that Yarra Junction has the slight upper hand, and with explosive bats Cam Spaulding and Quinton Hodgkinson at the top of the order, if the Warburton-Millgrove bowlers let them off the leash early then the total could quickly look mediocre.

On the other hand, the Burras do possess a bowling line-up that has plenty of variety, and experience, that leaves day two of this contest well in the balance.

Seville hosted Mount Evelyn in a game between two of the youngest line-ups in the competition, and day one would have both teams pleased with their respective positions.

Asked to bat, Seville was quickly on the back foot courtesy of two early strikes from Brad Jones (3/36), and had some in the Seville camp hoping that a repeat of last week’s capitulation wasn’t on the cards.

A pair of fighting partnerships between youngster Liam McGookin (32), and the experienced pair of Scott Rackham and Andy Kay (48), put the home side back in the contest and in a position to attack towards the end of the day.

McGookin’s wicket after tea was a dint in proceedings, but a quickfire 38 from the unheralded Andy Di Pietro aided Kay in the pursuit of quick runs and some much needed momentum to their innings.

Unfortunately for the Blues, the wickets of the pair fell at a poor time, and the young tail couldn’t muster enough firepower to extend the score beyond 200.

When it was all said and done in the shadows of stumps, the home side was dismissed for a respectable 171.

For the Rovers, there were even contributions from all bowlers, with Gareth Fraser and Brad Jones doing their job well at either end of the day, and Jed Thompson kept things tight with his accurate spinners before tea.

This game is well-balanced and much will rely on momentum.

The start of day two will be crucial for both teams, because if either side can get the jump with wickets or runs, then they will hold all the aces.

In the final game of the round, the in-form Woori Yallock hosted Hoddles Creek and had a battle on their hands courtesy of a fighting innings from the Wombats.

Simon Young (3/42) gave the home side all the early momentum, but a brilliant rear guard fight back from recruit Michael Robinson (57) and Brenton Derix (51) gave the visitors plenty of momentum heading into the later part of their innings.

Unfortunately, as is so often the case in the Valley, neither batsmen could impose themselves on the contest by converting their half centuries into a big score.

In the end, this cost the Wombats a real chance to bat themselves into a position of supreme strength.

Michael Robinson of Hoddles Creek tries to get one through the fielders. 146627

Their final score of 195 is more than competitive; however, they may rue not scoring another 30 to 40 runs.

Spinner Ben Hayes ensured things were kept in check late in the day with tidy figures of 3/36.

Normally 195 would be viewed as a tough chase with the batting side needing to prove their skill and patience to chase it down; however, Woori Yallock have started the season ominously with the bat and have the talent and the depth to make a mockery of the total.

On the other hand, if Hoddles Creek can muster some early wickets, and exert some pressure on the Tigers, they may find some openings against a lower order that has had little to do this season.
