Take a hint from nature Note the neighbours Proximity is an important clue.

Is your plant surviving close to other plants, and are these neighbours the same species or different? This will tell you whether competition is an important health indicator, and provide you with a list of plants that will grow happily by its side.

For example, the ‘Love Creeper’ vine (Comesperma volubile) needs support to grow. It likes to climb up grasses such as Lepidosperma or the branches of Caseina.

You should also check for nearby trees and bushes to see if shelter or part shade is creating a microclimate for your plant.

ONE word springs to mind when thinking about last month’s weather - wild.

The heavy and erratic weather patterns brought plenty of wild rainy fronts and native wildflowers have begun to carpet the understories of grassy open woodlands.

Spring rains are a common occurrence, but the intensity and consistency of these rains has given wildflowers a jump start and increased the populations of certain species.

The natural occurrence of wildflower flushes has evolved so plant species thrive in different microhabitats.

For instance, at one site you may see Bulbine lilies growing on sloped depressions, where rain pools.

In the higher slopes where soils are more dry you can see Early Nancys; with more tolerant species like Dinaellas crossing over into a number of different environments.

You can get a ‘leg up’ in your own backyard by taking tips from your local wilderness reserves.

If you want to grow your wildflower patch through natural reseeding, or are just looking for some new and interesting species to cultivate, your local forests and reserves are a great source of information.

A Love Creeper vine, twining up a Lepidosperma grass. 159667 Go for a wander and see which wildflowers appeal most to you.

You unravel the mystery of their existence through a bit of detective work.

Is it getting though?

How is your chosen plant getting nutrients? Is there a lot of leaf

litter around the plant which will provide compost micronutrients?

Is the soil friable, allowing for easy filtration of water and nutrients or does the soil have more of a clay base? Finally, is there a gradient at play and could you imagine the soil having a high percentage of water during certain times of the year?

Find potential pollinators Insects are just as important to a plants reproduction as soil. Check your plant, as well as nearby species, water bodies and soil banks for potential pollinators. You will need to attract the same insects at home.

This might mean you need to plant species that correspond to different stages of the insect life cycle, from larvae to maturity, or keep high nectar source plants if you’re targeting bees and butterflies.

This might sound like a tricky undertaking but you don’t need to be a biologist to recreate a wild scene in your own backyard. Take lots of photos and show these to the helpful crew at your local indigenous nursery if you’re having trouble identifying species.

Bartering - back to the basics

By CASEY NEILL THE Jessops moved to Macclesfield to get back to basics.

They bought a rundown 15-acre farm riddled with jumping jack nests and fallen trees and over the past five years created a fresh food haven.

Melanie and Warwick and their sons Bailin, 8, and Ollie, 5, have six sheep in their paddocks - and four in the freezer.

“Having your own lamb you know where it’s coming from, what you’ve fed it,” Melanie said.

“We’ve got a mobile butcher now that comes around.

“We would like to eventually have a few less sheep and then have a cow and a calf.

“We’ll do a calf each year for our meat and just eliminate the supermarket really.”

They have a vegie garden, fruit trees and chooks for eggs, and a neighbourhood barter system adds to their fresh food haul.

“The lady down the road has bees and she’ll give us honey and then she’ll use our wood-splitter,” Melanie said.

There’s an organic pig farmer across the road.

“Warwick is a diesel mechanic so he helps her with maintenance and then she gives us pork,” she said.

“This year we’re trying to get pork from across the road to make our own Polish sausage and salami and cure our own meats as well, just to get back to what our grandparents used to do.”

Melanie grew up on a farm in Upper Beaconsfield and “didn’t have processed foods a lot”. She would visit her

grandmother’s Dandenong property where she grew fruit trees and “made everything”.

“You turn 18 and then you move out of home and then you eat all the things you shouldn’t eat,” she said.

“Then I fell pregnant with Bailin and it just got me thinking about stuff again, so I started reading books.”

She wanted to share her back-tobasics lifestyle so set her sights on a co-operative. She’s been running The Hills and Valleys Co-op with Emerald mum Alison Edwards for 18 months.

“Some people don’t have the land to be able to grow their own produce,” Melanie said.

“Having the co-op means everybody can access it, everybody can get good fruit and veg.

“We’ve just started doing dried goods as well.

“Alison and I, with other people as well, we run a canteen at the school twice a term and there’s no artificial colours or preservatives and we cater to all food allergies, so every kid in the school can have the opportunity to eat from the canteen.

“That, to me, is really important.

“Somebody might not like what we have but I don’t want anybody who can’t have what we have to offer.”

Melanie gets creative with her lunches, whipping up sushi or wraps using silverbeet leaves.

“Alison and I are discussing we’d like to do some cooking demonstrations because I always get asked about the lunches that I do for the boys,” she said.

“Sometimes people are wanting dif-

ferent ideas so they’re not having bread all the time.”

“On our Facebook page we’ll share recipes.

“It’s really become a passion for me, and nutrition and all of this.

“People are getting back to ‘the majority of the time we need to eat good, fresh food’.

“I think it’s the way to go. I think it’s the way forward.”

Melanie said the farm was “a lot of work”.

“You spend your weekends doing stuff on the property but we do enjoy that as well - we really enjoy it, otherwise we wouldn’t do it,” she said.

“I just want everybody to know that they can do this.

“We’re learning. You don’t have to know it all.”

Rachael's recipes A blaze of colour Cauliflower soup (serves 2-4) Ingredients: * One head of cauliflower * 3/4 cup of cream * 1/4 cup of water * Salt * Pepper * 50g of butter 1. Cut off the cauliflower florets (try to keep them the same size).

2. Place into a pot with cream, water, salt and pepper (I prefer white pepper, so you don’t get black specks through the soup).

3. Bring to the boil, then drop the heat to a simmer and cook until cauliflower is soft.

4. Once cooked, you can either use a stick-mixer or blender to make a smooth soup. Add the butter to give it a nice lift when blending (if using a blender, do not overfill because the mixture is hot).

5. Serve with warm crusty bread; alternatively, with croutons and a drizzle of olive oil.

Enjoy!

SPRING has sprung and this magnificent azalea has bloomed into blazing colour.

Azaleas and rhododendrons grow magnificently in the sometimes cold climate of the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley and thrive on the clean air and crisp spring weather this region is famous for. Hardy as well as beautiful, azaleas and rhododendrons grow best in partial shade so the forest coverings offered by the treescapes of the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges makes this an ideal spot for these gorgeous plants. This photograph captures the vibrant colour on offer to you and your garden at this time of year. It also shows the rich plant life you can find at the many and varied gardens in the area or

you can plant in your own. There is no shortage of opportunities to experience the wonderful plant life all around us at this time of year or you can get creative and bring the spring colour inside with some stunning house plants. Spring is often synonymous with life and as new life springs forth, so too can your home and garden ideas. 159663 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Bring your batteries back

By Jodie Symonds IF YOU'VE got a collection of used household batteries lying around at home, there is an easy way to dispose of them by visiting Bunnings Croydon.

As part of the Australian Battery Recycling Initiative, Bunnings Croydon developed the Batteryback program to responsibly dispose of old household batteries.

Batteries contain eco-toxic metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead. When leaked from the battery, they can contaminate soil and groundwater when disposed of in landfill.

Recycling batteries allows

Cauliflower soup. 159731

valuable non-renewable resources to be recovered, including lead and other materials.

These resources can then be used to create new batteries and other products including stainless steel pots and pans.

Bunnings Croydon Complex Manager, Shawn Adams said the local community could drop off used batteries in the Batteryback bin located at the front of the store.

“We encourage the local community to head in store and recycle their used household batteries - it’s very simple and can make a really positive impact on the environment,” Mr Adams said.

CEO of ABRI, Helen Lewis said the program had recycled over 85,000 kilograms of batteries, equivalent to over 3.7 million AA batteries, since the program’s establishment in 2009.

“Helping to reduce the thousands of tonnes of batteries which end up in landfill every year can be as simple as visiting your local Bunnings to recycle your old batteries,” Ms Lewis said.

Ensuring no ticks for your pets AS we approach the warmer months of September to April it is important that pet owners are on the lookout for symptoms of tick bites.

A new tick has made its way into town; the eastern paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus, has been reported at 32 postcodes in the Greater Melbourne Area and appears to be more deadly than the more common southern paralysis tick.

Local hot spots for the ticks have been reported but all residents of the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges should be aware of the new critter.

Eastern paralysis tick infestations have been reported in Chum Creek, Healesville, Silvan, Emerald and Toolangi so far this season.

Dr Adele Scannell, practice manager and lead veterinarian at Animal Aid in Coldstream, has some tips for pet owners to keep their furry friends safe from ticks this spring.

“Pet owners should always be aware of ticks which may be present on their dogs,” she said.

“There are two main types of ticks that need to be checked for (brown ticks and paralysis ticks) and they can sometimes look quite similar.”

Dr Scannell said there are many precautions owners can take to try to protect their animals from ticks.

“If you are worried about your pet getting a tick there are a variety of tick control products available that can be used,” she said.

“These include tick prevention collars, oral parasiticide tablets and topical parasiticide spot on treatments.”

It’s important pet owners know how to recognise and treat ticks on Pictures: MUSEUM VICTORIA their pets. 159786 Dr Scannell also gave some tips on how and when to check your animals for ticks.

“This involves parting the hair on longer haired animals and closely examining the skin for any signs of ticks or tick feeding cavities,” she said.

“Ticks feed on the blood of their hosts and will vary in size depending on how much they have fed and how engorged they are.

“Both brown and paralysis ticks look like a raised circular/oval area of brown or black tissue attached closely to the skin; they are differentiated by close examination of the distribution of legs around their bodies and head.”

If you find a tick on your animal, Dr Scannell said it’s important to know how to remove the tick correctly.

“A tick cannot simply be pulled off and instead it is important to remove

the tick in the correct manner by twisting the body and head to allow the entire tick to be removed,” she said.

“This can be facilitated by the use of special tick twisting tools.

“If one tick is identified on your pet it important to make sure your pet is thoroughly examined for any more ticks.”

While common brown ticks can carry blood-borne diseases that can be harmful to your animal and many of them are a serious concern, the symptoms of a paralysis tick should be recognised early to avoid long term damage to your pet.

“As the name implies a paralysis develops often starting from the back end but if left untreated, this tick paralysis can lead to paralysis of respiratory muscles and can be life threatening,” Dr Scannell said.

“There are other signs that can also be suggestive of tick paralysis including: vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, altered pupil size, change in voice (bark or meow), coughing and difficulty blinking.

“It is important that all pets who have suspected tick attachment are seen by a veterinarian for best advice and treatment.”

Watching the garden growing

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Into the Wild Garden and Landscape’s recent project in Kallista. 159804 Pictures: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS Kye recommends even experienced gardeners seek some professional input before tackling a project on this scale.

“For something on this scale, I recommend getting some advice, just because all gardens have their unique conditions,” he said.

“If you need some help even just coming up with a work plan that’s probably your best place to start.”

To get your garden looking just as good as the work done by Into the Wild Gardens, Kye has some great tips to get you started now for spring next year.

“You want to go around a look at

the bulbs that are coming up now,” he said.

“There are some amazing bulbs that require no maintenance whatsoever and the Dandenongs are the king capital of bulbs.

“Go out there and get some daffodils and jonquils, anything you like the look of that is coming out of the ground right now, wait until next autumn to stick them in the ground and then next spring they will come out.

“You can mass plant or use as borders or just little families in the lawn, you’ll have little highlights in the garden.”

1236415-EPJ30-16

INTO the Wild Garden and Landscape is a Kallista-based business with years of experience in what plants and flowers grow best in the Dandenong Ranges.

Business owner and operator Kye has shared some great advice on how to get your garden looking it’s best for spring and discussed a heritage garden in Kallista he has bought back to life.

Kye and the team at Into the Wild started the Kallista project about two years ago and it has blossomed into spring with magnificent colour.

“We started with liaising with the client on how they want to manage the garden,” Kye said.

“We picked the point in the season where the garden is doing the best and this one is really a spring flash of colour with high acid stuff that everyone will recognise like camellias, tree azaleas and special deciduous trees.”

“We planted things that really are popular in cottage gardens for thousands of years, it’s a really Asiatic English style garden.”

Kye said bringing an older garden back to life after it had been neglected for a long time was a lot of work.

“We did a lot of hard pruning and letting things come back through and grow and treating the soil properly because it had lost all its acid and lost nutrition in the ground after years and years of leaf litter on there,” he said.

“The real hassle on this side of the hill is fungus; it gets into the soil and things like azalea or any flowering plant will be really drained of all their nutrients.”

Let’s talk fire

By Jesse Graham WITH the fire season just around the corner, hundreds of Yarra Ranges residents will gather in Lilydale next week to talk about preparing, surviving, recovering from and living with bushfires.

The third annual Living with Bushfire Community Conference will be held at Box Hill Institute’s Lillydale Lakeside campus on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 October.

BHI’s Manager of Community Relationships Andrea Read said the event was in its third year, but that organisers had a clean slate when it came to organising the Yarra Ranges event.

She said the event covered all facets of living in a community with a high bushfire risk, particularly in the aftermath of 2009’s Black Saturday bushfires.

“It’s really just about sharing as much experience as we possibly can in this particular region,” Ms Read said.

“A lot of it is to get agency people understanding community, and the community understanding agency.”

Each day will have welcoming statements from dignitaries, followed by speeches from speakers, such as Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley, followed by Q&A panels and then four rooms of activities through the afternoon.

The rooms are split into themes of Personal, Place, Community and Workshops, and focus on aspects such as looking after country, resilience, preparing pets, emergency relief and engaging youth.

“There’s little things, like talk about bunkers - a lot of people have what they think is a safe bunker ... but a lot of the bunkers aren’t up to scratch,” Ms Read said.

“It’s about knowing what you’re actually going to do in the situation - and it’s more than sitting down and writing a fire plan.

“It’s about really engaging and knowing that these particular services will happen, or this is what’s actually going to occur, and am I safe in this particular area; if the worst case scenario happens, what do I do about it?”

She said the event wasn’t about telling “horror stories”, but rather talking about the unpredictability of fire, and how to live in bushfire-prone areas safely.

Visitors to the conference will walk away with “an understanding of their place in a bushfire scenario”, Ms Read said.

“And the skills to actually manage that, going into, during and after; that they know what measures they’ll need to take and if the worst case scenario happens, then they know that on the other side of it, they actually will be okay.”

Ms Read said speakers for the event, many of whom were experts in their field, had donated their time to make presentations.

“That’s the really good thing about it, is that the people who are presenting are doing it just because they believe this is an important issue,” she said.

For the first time in the event’s three years, a youth symposium was run before the conference with Year 9-12 students from Lilydale High School, Lilydale Heights, Cire Services and Doncaster Secondary College.

“It’s the first time it’s ever been done, looking at how the youth perceive this - we worked with Parks Victoria and the CFA closely on this particular project and it’s one that we’ve all said ‘We need to do this every year, regardless of the conference’,” Ms Read said.

“I remember walking in the room and one of the things on the board that one of the kids had written was, ‘Don’t have a teacher tell me, have someone

Box Hill Institute's Andrea Read, one of the organisers of the Living with Bushfire Community Conference to Picture: Rob Carew be held on 7-8 October. 159679 who actually experienced it tell me,’ they all sort of came out of it saying they had a much better understanding.”

The students in the symposium will present their experiences to the conference over the weekend.

Entry to the conference, which is sponsored by the CFA, the Depart-

Fund-raiser is going strong

feathers might

By Jesse Graham A BREAST cancer fund-raiser in its 11th year will see 150 people fill the rooms of Killara Estate next month, to continue a legacy of more than $130,000 raised for research.

Karen Webb has organised a fund-raiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation at Killara Estate, to be held on 11 October.

Ms Webb said this year’s event would be her 11th, with more than $135,000 raised so far - $27,000 of that from 2015’s fund-raiser alone - and

fly!

that the 150 seats for the event had sold out.

“We never set a goal because you never know what people’s finances are like,” she said.

“As much as I’d like to say ‘Let’s beat it’, you don’t have that guarantee ... I’m happy with any profit on the day.”

The day begins with bubbles and canapes on the verandah of the venue, before music, lunch, speakers, a raffle and a silent auction.

Ms Webb said that a fire pit, plants, hampers, a handmade quilt, wine, candles and vouch-

ers were all on offer on the day.

She said the event was usually attended by women of all ages, from businesses, community groups and from the valley more widely, and that men even occasionally attend the day.

The event has grown rapidly from a morning tea that raised $500 in its beginning, with tens of thousands of dollars being raised each year.

Money from the event goes to the NBCF to fund research for prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer and donations are welcomed on the day.

Jaimee’s hair-raising fun

By Jesse Graham A FORMER Healesville High School student has raised thousands of dollars for ovarian cancer research, with 50 supporters showing their support for a shave event earlier this month.

On Sunday, 18 September, 21-yearold Jaimee Petersen had her head shaved by family and friends as part of a fund-raiser for ovarian cancer research.

The event took place in honour of Ms Petersen’s former teacher, Sue Contarino, who was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer three years ago.

Ms Petersen underwent her shave at Mocha and Lime Cafe in Healesville with about 50 supporters, including Ms Contarino, and raised $4000 as of Thursday, 22 September.

“I’m feeling great,” she said.

“I wanted to reach $2000 - it’s been a good achievement for myself.”

Ms Contarino praised Ms Petersen at the event for giving up “pride and vanity” to support the cause of ovarian cancer.

“It’s very important to many young people how they look, and to give that up to support ovarian cancer is wonderful,” she said.

She said women should be aware of the “sneaky” symptoms of the disease, which can include tiredness, pain

around the ovary area and a bloated stomach.

“Often, when you go to a doctor, they are unwilling to push ahead with a pelvic scan or simple blood test,” Ms Contarino said.

Ms Petersen’s supporters took it in turns to cut off lengths of her hair, before hairdresser Kerry Young cleaned up the haircut.

She said the shorter cut was “definitely chilly”, but she felt good about supporting the cause.

“I guess, every time I’m looking at it, at the start was a bit of a shock but it’s for a great cause,” Ms Petersen said.

“I know what I’ve done is helping people that need it more than I do - my hair will grow back, and as long as I’m making a stand - or showing that I care - it makes me feel good.”

She said that she was in between studying to become a physical education teacher, a decision she said was inspired by having Ms Contarino as a PE teacher.

“She’s the main reason why I’m looking into it - she made me realise that’s what I want to be,” Ms Petersen said.

Donations to the fund-raiser can be made until 30 September through www.mycause.com.au, by searching “Jaimee Petersen” and clicking the link “Off come the locks”.

In brief Four females cause quite a ruckus POLICE are calling for witnesses after a confrontation between four women near Lilydale Train Station earlier this month.

Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Senior Constable Brigette De Chirico said that at about 6pm on Monday, 12 September, four women were involved in a confrontation across the road from the Olive Tree Shopping Centre.

No one was injured in the confrontation, which Det Sen Const De Chirico said may have been alcohol-related, but police are asking any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Man charged with petrol theft

Free vet check for teddy

A GRUYERE man will face court next month after being caught for numerous petrol drive-offs and number plate thefts.

Yarra Glen Police Sergeant Richard Coulson said the 25-year-old man was arrested on Sunday, 25 September, after three petrol drive-offs.

The first occurred on 16 August in Ringwood, where the man allegedly used stolen plates and drove away without paying for petrol.

HEALESVILLE Sanctuary is offering free vet checks for your child’s special cuddly teddy during the school holidays.

Kids can assist the Teddy Check Team to diagnose their teddy’s ail-

ments, bandage them up and give them special care while learning about the amazing animals at the sanctuary and how they are cared for there. Vet checks will be offered daily from 11am to 3pm at the Australian

Wildlife Health Centre.

Each patient will receive a Teddy Vet Check certificate for their brave teddy.

The second and third occurred at United Fuel in Yarra Glen on 20 and 28 August, with a different set of stolen plates used for the last theft.

The number plates were stolen from Croydon and Eltham, and Sgt Coulson said residents should get one-way anti-theft screws affixed to their number plates to avoid thefts.

The man has been charged and remanded to face Ringwood Magistrates’ Court next month.

Woman caught on CCTV A WANDIN North woman will be charged on summons after being caught stealing petrol with stolen number plates on her car, and is expected to front court.

Yarra Glen Police Sergeant Richard Coulson said the 22-year-old Wandin North woman is accused of stealing petrol from a service station in Knoxfield bearing stolen plates on her car in July.

She was arrested on 15 September, has been interviewed and will be charged on summons for theft, driving an unregistered motor vehicle, receiving proceeds of crime and committing offences while on bail.

Sgt Coulson said the increased quality of CCTV cameras at service stations had made it easier for police to identify thieves.

withdrawn by the State Government recently.

Neighbourhood Watch aims to improve the quality of life within a neighbourhood by minimising preventable crime and promoting closer community ties.

The program relies on the community, volunteers and the police working together in a partnership to achieve these aims. I have in the past chaired the AGM for the Mt Evelyn Neighbourhood Watch, and found them to be a great bunch of people who care about their community and the safety of others.

Under the former Coalition Government, we provided $600,000 to fund a full-time CEO and reinvigorate the Neighbourhood Watch program around the state. I am disappointed that the Andrews Governments has chosen to put volunteers last again in our community, just like we have seen with the CFA dispute and how volunteer CFA

out-of-control crime surge. Under this government, police stations are closing and frontline police numbers have been cut. Victorians should not have to live in fear, and such crimes should not be tolerated.

We need organisations like Neighbourhood Watch because they support our police efforts and promote a sense of community in our Valley. The police force needs this support to work effectively in protecting our safety at home and on the street. We should not see Neighbourhood Watch as a past-itsday program, but an integral part of our community safety and volunteer spirit.

Owners burnt by overlay

By Jesse Graham THOUSANDS of Yarra Ranges properties are expected be added to the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) by the Victorian Government, triggering more planning permits for owners wishing to build.

The Yarra Ranges Council has announced that more than 18,000 properties in the municipality are being considered to be added to the BMO, under a government proposal.

The BMO applies to properties that may be significantly affected in a

bushfire, and requires owners to plan out bushfire protection measures for developments as part of their application process.

The council released a fact-sheet on the potential changes on Thursday 22 September, but Acting CEO Troy Edwards said some details had yet to be announced.

“Future changes to the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) have been proposed by the State Government as a recommendation following the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal

Commission,” Mr Edwards said.

“Council has been provided with the proposed mapping, but the timing and proposed controls applying to township areas are unknown.”

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning’s website on the BMO lists a five-step process for owners who may be affected by the overlay - finding out if the BMO applies to the property, identifying how to apply for a permit, assessing the bushfire hazards, including bushfire protection measures in an application

and understanding how the council will assess the application.

The council said properties in Belgrave, Healesville, Lilydale, Mount Evelyn, Tecoma and Upwey were expected to be added to the BMO. Planning Minister Richard Wynne said the BMO came from recommendations from the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, and that many properties identified as a bushfire hazard had not been added to the BMO under the previous government.

“We are working with councils on

this, and property owners will be notified of any changes,” Mr Wynne said.

Mr Wynne said the changes to the BMO would take place next year, and that 16,000 properties would be added to the BMO alongside 15,000 already listed in the municipality.

He said the BMO would give clear rules for properties at risk from bushfires.

For more information about the BMO and planning applications, visit www.dtpli.vic.gov.au and visit the Planning page.

Lantern lake walk has spirit

By Jesse Graham YARRA Ranges residents are being asked to light up a lantern and walk around Lillydale Lake on Friday 30 September, to support people living with leukaemia and blood cancer.

The Lilydale Light the Night event will be held from 5pm to 7pm on the Friday afternoon, with a procession gathering at the lake’s community room, at the far car park, before walking the lake together.

Organiser Brian Hodgson said each attendee received a lantern with their $20 donation, which came in three colours - gold, to represent someone lost to blood cancer; white, representing survivors; and blue, to represent supporters.

He said that his sister-in-law had survived blood cancer and that he attended the Melbourne Light the Night event with her each year.

“This initially started off with thinking I could get a bus from Wandin for my colleagues - we

could bus ourselves into the city,” Mr Hodgson said.

“I thought, well, that’s ridiculous, it’s not that much work to run the event here - and it isn’t - so three years ago, we started the event.”

He said the first year saw 400 people gather lanterns and walk the lake, with 600 attendees last year, and Mr Hodgson said he hoped the numbers would increase this year, despite the poor weather.

With about $8000 received in donations by Friday 23 September, he’s hopeful the event will be able to raise $25,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation, to support people undergoing treatment for blood cancers.

“We’re a quarter of the way there, with a week to go - quite a few people come on the day, so we’ve got a pretty good chance of reaching our target,” Mr Hodgson said.

“But our principle purpose, it isn’t the raising of money - the prin-

ciple purpose is providing the environment and the experience.

“It’s a great event, and it’s a good fund-raiser, but it also has a bit of a spirit, because people come here for different reasons, but they’ve all had contact with the disease.”

He said the group would be able to watch the sun set over the hill in Lilydale from the community room at the lake, before embarking on the walk, which takes about 45 minutes.

Billanook College students, who helped to build the lanterns, will act as marshals along the path.

Leukamia Foundation campaigns and business development manager Meaghan Bush said that every $100 raised would cover the costs of giving a family emotional support immediately after a diagnosis, as well as an hour of blood cancer research.

Letters Uber powerful THE words disruptive and technology have definitely become synonymous with rideshare giant Uber.

As the majority of governments worldwide rewrite transport regulations to allow Uber to operate alongside the traditional taxi model, spare a thought for taxi licence owners in Melbourne, Australia.

The city recently crowned ‘The World’s Most Liveable City’ will in 2018 seize the assets (licences) of small business owners across the state.

If you own one licence you will receive $100,000 and for a second licence you will receive $50,000. For any additional licences, zero.

And this money will be paid in instalments over eight years. Licences were trading at over $500,000 in 2011. Many taxi licence owners will be financially ruined and already seven suicides have been attributed to this heartless Labor Government’s proposed compulsory acquisition of people’s assets.

The State Labor Premier Daniel Andrews and his Transport Minister Jacinta Allan have rolled out the red carpet and welcomed Uber with open arms, while at the same time subjecting law abiding small business owners to financial hardship, bankruptcy, immeasurable stress, worry and depression.

Andrews and Allan consider the compensation to be “fair and reasonable” - I think not.

Cairns discovery I AM so pleased to read that the Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre is set to re-open to the public.

In my 18 years driving for McKenzie's, I took many, many school groups to visit the centre and learn all about the forest environment.

Apart from the students, I learnt a lot about our forests and we always enjoyed a picnic lunch outside.

I hope the Mail do a photo spread when it is open, for those of us who have left the Yarra Valley.

I wish all the organisers great success for the future of the centre.?

George Field, Cairns.

Destructive break LAST year small businesses across the Valley were forced to endure the damaging impact of the decision by the Andrews Labor Government to declare two new public holidays.

We all love our days off and Victorians work hard to earn theirs. However, few people that I’ve spoken to believe that the same small businesses we rely on to provide the majority of jobs for our families and young people, should have

to pay such a heavy price for holidays we didn’t ask for.

At a time when jobs are becoming even more difficult to find and when many local businesses are already doing it tough, Daniel Andrews chose to impose two major new costs that will see many businesses in the Valley close their doors for the day. Employees will lose muchneeded shifts and significant damage will be inflicted on our Valley's and state's economy.

Last year the Andrews Government’s own assessment of its Grand Final Parade Public Holiday, carried out by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC), found it would cost Victoria as much as $898 million per year.

The PWC assessment confirmed that employment costs for the day were up by $286 million and that overall the costs of the holiday outweighed any benefit to the state.

The assessment also confirmed that the additional holidays impacted on local councils and hospitals, with services being cut and ratepayers and taxpayers being left to foot the bill.

I ask Daniel Andrews to listen to our small business owners and their employees in our Valley and to reverse this job-destroying decision.

Is War Inevitable? By Sir Philip Gibbs IT is an astonishing and dreadful thing that almost everybody I met on my last tour of Europe was convinced that a new war was inevitable.

Their only difference of opinion was whether it will happen before 10 years or after 10 years.

We are living in a fear-stricken world and this fear itself creates the greatest danger by causing the nations to arm against each other, although none of them, I am certain wants war.

A thousand times lately I have heard people say ‘The world has gone mad’. And that, of course is true. If one means by madness the inability to exercise intelligent control over one’s actions.

Change Your Life

The new biz

By Jesse Graham

Yarra Valley Business members Ross Stephens, Brett Whelan, Caroline Evans and Alex Lagerwey at Yarra Valley Picture: ROB CAREW Dairy. 159198 Yarra Valley, then they’re open to join us.

“And it just goes back to the core belief that the valley can be so much more than just a tourist destination - the tourist profile of the valley is such an important thing, but it can be so much more, and there’s plenty of example of other areas around Australia, where they have a really good mix of industry, tourism, farming, the whole mix.”

The goal for YVB, he said, was to help businesses “connect, grow and thrive”, and that the organisation could advocate on behalf of the valley’s businesses and help them to connect.

“For starters, the broader reach, the expanded knowledge that you can get from having the diversity of businesses, but

I’m a really strong believer that businesses within the same sector should really connect,” Mr Whelan said.

“For example, I’m sure that all hospitality businesses could gain benefit from one of the Yarra Valley Business members like RACV Country Club, and go for a tour, have a chat and spend half a day looking at how their systems work - that’s a successful enterprise and we can draw from that.

“We’ve got plenty of people that are more than willing to mentor and to connect startups.”

The launch of Yarra Valley Business will be held on Thursday, 20 October, from 6.30pm at Rochford Wines in Coldstream.

Ballot drawn for candidates

By Jesse Graham YARRA Ranges residents will soon go to the polls to choose councillors for the coming four years, with candidates nominated and the ballot drawn on Tuesday 20 September.

Candidates for the Yarra Ranges Council elections were announced at a ballot draw event at the Healesville Community Link on Tuesday afternoon, with 18 candidates, community members and supporters present.

Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) returning officer Peter Williams conducted the draw for the nine wards through a computer program.

He said the VEC had used the program, which randomly allocates a number for each candidate, for State Election ballot draws since 1999 and council elections since 2008.

Attendee Lawrence Mobsby asked whether he could appeal the decision to use the electronic ballot draw, in favour of a physical draw with numbered balls.

“If Tim Heenan gets top spot, I’ll challenge it straight away,” he said.

“You’re quite at liberty to go to the VEC in writing, and take it up with the powers that be there,” Mr Williams responded.

“It’s quite possible that the order of the candidates may not change.”

In Billanook, Maria McCarthy, Don Di Battista, Andrew Henley and Tim Heenan will run as candidates for councillor.

The three candidates for Chandler Ward are Tony Stevenson, Sue McMurdie and Geoff Pain - current councillor

A NEW advocacy group for businesses in the valley will launch next month, rising from the ashes of the recently-folded Healesville Chamber of Commerce.

Yarra Valley Business, a peak body formed by former chamber members, will launch on 20 October at Rochford Wines.

Chairman Brett Whelan said the organisation came about as part of “natural progression”, with the Healesville and Lilydale Chambers recently folding due to a lack of members.

At the final meeting of the Healesville Chamber, Mr Whelan told a group of nine people that the model for townshipbased chambers was “broken”, and that a whole-of-area approach was needed.

“You think about how the world is changing, it’s becoming much more regional,” he said.

“Even when people go out to restaurants, they’re using their smartphones ... using the internet, and no longer can businesses afford to think about the town next door being its competitor.”

Mr Whelan said YVB would work to “support and nurture all businesses” in the valley, and run alongside, not against, other business groups or chambers of commerce.

“We’ll be a lot broader,” Mr Whelan said.

“The catchment area isn’t defined by borders - if a business feels like it belongs in the

Sensory mats

By Jesse Graham SENSORY mats designed to help people living with intellectual disabilities relieve stress will be on display at Mont De Lancey next month, following an outpouring of community support.

An exhibition of more than 200 sensory mats will be held at Mont De Lancey Historic Homestead through October, organised by the Seville Community House.

Glenice Hopes from the community house said the sensory mats were designed to help people living with intellectual disabilities, or who are on the autism spectrum, and feature objects and textured fabrics that can be felt or played with to help with relaxation.

“They work as a calm-youdown, stress relief, anxiety relief sort of thing,” Ms Hopes said.

She said the community house asked residents to help make mats and donate them to the house, and that more than 200 were made and handed in.

“I worked in the aged care sector for many years, and prior to that, the disability sector, so I understand the need and the wonderful work that these sensory maps ... actually do,” she said.

“We were looking to do something as a community

“There’s actually flat mats with all sorts of things sewn on them, like buttons, zips ... there’s flat mats, there’s cushions ... there’s also woodwork boards for those that want it.”

Ms Hopes said Mont De Lancey donated their gallery space for the exhibition, and that special schools, nursing homes and residents were being invited to come out to the exhibition.

“What will happen is people are going to come ... and if anyone wants one, we take it off the wall and we give it to them,” she said.

The sensory mats will be free of charge, though Ms Hopes said donations were being accepted - as were further donations of sensory mats.

The exhibition opens on 1 October and runs until the end of the month at Mont De Lancey, 71 Wellington Road, Wandin North.

THE AUSTRALIAN Doctors Orchestra will perform a special fund-raising concert on 9 October at The Memo in Healesville to support the renovations of Healesville and District Hospital.

The orchestra will present The Lark, and funds raised will be forwarded to new equipment for the hospital.

Conducted by Warwick Stengards, The Lark will showcase the musical talents from The Australian Doctors Orchestra, a group of passionate clas-

sically trained medical professionals from across Australia.

One of the performers, violinist Dr Vivian Wu, is also a surgeon at Maroondah Hospital in Ringwood.

Dr Wu said she was delighted to be a part of the event.

“Healesville and District Hospital holds a very special place with the local community, and I’d encourage everyone to come along to the concert,” Dr Wu said.

“Not only will you be supporting a terrific fund-raising effort, but you’ll hear some great classical music as well.”

Eastern Health Foundation Director, Anne Gribbin said she was grateful for the Australian Doctors Orchestra support.

“We are humbled by their incredible generosity and look forward to what I’m sure will be a wonderful performance,” Ms Gribbin said.

The performance will begin at 2pm.

Tickets cost $35, $30 for concession, $15 for children and under five are free.

When Kevin went crazy Yoga Hosers (M) Starring: Lily-Rose Depp, Harley Quinn Smith and Johnny Depp HIPSTER auteur Kevin Smith has officially lost his mind with Yoga Hosers, the second film in his True North trilogy.

Two yoga-obsessed best friends, Colleen C (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen M (Harley Quinn Smith) find themselves fighting an army of tiny Nazis made out of bratwurst.

No, you’re not having a stroke. That is the plot of the movie.

I’m among the minority who really liked Kevin Smith’s previous film, Tusk. Though uneven, Tusk is well-written, intensely suspenseful and morbidly amusing. But Yoga Hosers (which takes place in the same universe and shares much of its cast with Tusk) is breathtakingly inept.

The pacing is in an unco-ordinated hurry to have not much happen. The characters are all flat and obnoxious, and the humour is drawn-out, forced and consists mainly of contrived pop-culture references and crude jabs at Canada.

Depp and Smith are mildly enjoyable to watch, mostly due to the actresses’ burgeoning charisma and the fun they’re clearly having, and yet their characters are vapid and irritating.

Dumb and silly can be fun - again, look at Deadpool - but not when the film has so little effort put into it.

'Hoser’ is a Canadian slang term for a foolish or uncultivated person, much like this movie.

WITH a strong background in agricultural lime and fertiliser spreading, Eddy’s Spreading Services was launched in 2003.

Servicing a large physical area ranging from Croydon and Montrose through to Alexandra and Buxton, and the Glenburn and Yea regions - owneroperator Darren Eddy provides his extensive expertise, knowledge and first-class computerised spreading equipment.

Specially made Scorpion spreader bins are fully equipped with electronic scales, further enhancing the spreading service on offer at Eddy’s.

The addition of a brand-new Euro-5 rated Mercedez-Benz four-wheel-drive truck provides excellent capabilities for covering varying terrains, as well as being environmentally friendly.

Darren said economy was a focus for the business.

“Farmers today are very aware of the economics of both product and application costs for all general products; fertiliser, lime and gypsum,” he said.

“The bottom line is that most farmers expect good quality product and great service from both the source supplier and the spreader driver.”

Eddy’s Spreading Service has been providing a good level of service for more than seven years, building a solid reputation for reliability and service.

The busiest time of the year is autumn, which, in terms of farming, begins early February, extending through until June.

During this time, hundreds of tonnes of products from source suppliers, Unimin Ltd (lime) and Incitec

Bloods claim 2016 flag

By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES - GRAND FINALS THE sun gods shone on Healesville in so many ways on Saturday.

The ground was in picture-perfect condition, the coffee was hot, the barbecue was fired up and the crowd was ready for the last football and netball games of the season for the Yarra Valley.

Netball started proceedings and Wandin had an amazing clean sweep of all five grades of netball.

The Under 18s footy result was as was expected, but Emerald did not let Mount Evelyn have it all their own way.

The reserves was probably also the result that was expected; and, in a low-scoring game, Olinda Ferny Creek held the cup high at the final siren.

The seniors’ game was a low-scoring affair but Healesville - to the surprise of some, especially Olinda Ferny Creek - is celebrating its first Division 1 senior premiership since 1988.

FOOTBALL Division 1 Seniors Healesville 8.6(54) d Olinda Ferny Creek 4.9(33) The conditions were windy on Saturday and favoured the greyhound track end of the ground. Healesville kicked that way in the first quarter and were able to get the jump on an Olinda Ferny Creek side that looked a little shell-shocked. The Bloods kicked four straight, while Olinda struggled to get the ball in their forward line, only managing to kick 1.2. Olinda had the wind in the second quarter, kicking 2.3, but was wasteful in front of goal as Healesville managed to kick 1.1 to go into the main break with an eight point lead. Healesville came out in the third quarter kicking 2.5 with Olinda managing just two behinds. Healesville’s defence in the third quarter was relentless and never gave Olinda a look in as Healesville held a 23-point lead in the last quarter. The pressure applied by both sides in the last was enormous.

Neither side gave an inch, and Olinda did manage 1.2 to Healesville’s one solitary goal, but it was not enough to dampen Healesville’s spirit as they run away with their first Division 1 seniors premiership since 1988.

Healesville Best: Tim Costigan (AFL VIC Country ‘Best on Ground’ Medal), D. Anderson (1 goal), J. Nugent. D. Plozza, M. Jeffery, L. Barclay.

Olinda Ferny Creek Best: K. Currie, O. Millwood, C. Horner, J. Rankin, M. Hottes, D. Rohrmann (1 goal).

Division 1 Reserves Olinda Ferny Creek 8.9(57) d Mount Evelyn 6.9(45) Olinda Ferny Creek were crowned premiers after their thrilling 12-point win on Saturday. Olinda started the better of the two teams in the first quarter, kicking a very untidy two goals to one behind to take an 18-point lead heading into the second quarter.

Mount Evelyn hit back in the second, outscoring Olinda, kicking 4.4 to three straight behinds with Olinda holding an eight-point lead at the main break.

Olinda managed to hold off Mount Evelyn in the third quarter, holding a seven-point lead heading into the last quarter. Olinda kicked 1.2 in the last quarter, keeping Mount Evelyn to only three behinds to come away with a thrilling win after been crowned minor premiers.

Healesville celebrate winning the 2016 seniors grand final. 159815 Olinda Ferny Creek Best: Tom Millwood (AFL Yarra Ranges ‘Best on Ground’ Medal), O. Raszkiewicz (2 goals), B. Schubert (4 goals), C. Darling, C. Brown (1 goal), R. Davis (1 goal).

Mount Evelyn Best: D. Broadway, M. McIlrath, S. Harrod, D. Hickey, J. Smith, J. Barden.

Under 18s Mount Evelyn 8.6(54) d Emerald 6.11(47) Mount Evelyn are 2016 Premiers after a game that most people thought was going to be a one-sided affair.

Mount Evelyn were able to get off to a quick start kicking 3.4 to one solitary goal in the first quarter to take a 16-point lead heading into the second quarter. Emerald stunned Mount Evelyn in the second quarter, kicking 2.6 to one goal, with four points separating the two sides at half-time. The third quarter was tight, but Mount Evelyn managed to extend their lead to 10 points going into the final quarter. The Bombers had their chances again in the last , having six scoring shots to three, but could not capitalise on their opportunities as Mount Evelyn came home with a tough seven-point win.

Mount Evelyn Best: Bayley Forbes (AFL VIC Country ‘Best on Ground’ Medal) (1 goal), M. Brierley (2 goals), L. Inaps, M. Gibbons, D. Watson, R. Farrow.

Emerald Best: B. Pepi, J. Volta, L. Sheppard, J. Thomas, B. Wilson, J. Pedder (3 goals).

Sam’s sighting it up

By Derek Schlennstedt

Three Bridges Enduro rider Daniel 'Chucky' Sanders won first place in the E3 class. 159642 Picture: JODIE SYMONDS

Dirtbike win

By Jodie Symonds DREAMS have come true for two Yarra Valley Enduro riders at the end of their championship season.

Three Bridges man Daniel ‘Chucky’ Sanders won the outright Yamaha Australian OffRoad Championship in Penshurst, Victoria and won the E3 class.

The 18-year-old young gun from Gladysdale, Lyndon Snodgrass started off slow but finished strongly in third place in the E3 and 12th place for the season.

Difficult conditions and torrential weather made the race difficult, but proved no match for Sanders and Snodgrass.

Sanders said he was con-

fident heading into this year’s season.

“I knew at the end of last year that I was in good form for a red-hot shot this year but the pressure wasn’t there at all and I just pushed through to be that number one rider,” Sanders said.

“I won every race but two this year due to torn ligaments in my ankle but it’s been great to push through, work hard and win.

“The goal was to win it.”

It was a fight for first place between Snodgrass and Sanders, but a small stop on one of the hills allowed Sanders to take the lead, finishing just seconds apart.

“Lyndon was behind me in second for two of the races only four seconds apart, and then the other riders were at least a min-

ute after us,” Sanders said.

“Lyndo placing third in the E3 class is a massive achievement.”

For Snodgrass, competing at an E3 level is a great achievement.

“It’s pretty awesome,” he said.

“Being only 18 I’m pretty happy with how I’ve been doing and I definitely hope to make a career out of it and I’ll keep training hard to hopefully do so.”

He said there’s only one major event for him to compete in this year at the Australian fourday Enduro in Mansfield in November.

Sanders will compete at the FIM International Six Days of Enduro in Spain between 11 and 16 October.

LOCAL Warburton Archer Sam Breeden will be taking aim at the World Field Archery Championships this week.

The 19-year-old has dedicated eight years to the sport and is now debuting in his first-ever World Field Archery Championships.

Held in Wagga Wagga, the championship attracts international competitors from America, New Zealand, Germany, England and many more.

Taking place over four days, competitors are faced with 28 targets per day and four arrows per target. Each target can vary in distance, ranging from 10 to 90 metres.

Sam, who was self-taught for the majority of his archery career, has begun to take a more serious approach to the sport and in preparation for WFAC has spent a year with a coach which he says has helped get rid of bad habits.

“I’ve taken two and half months to change my form to a better one - it’s hard to do but you have to persist at it,” he said.

Spurred on by his recent success in making the 10-man junior state team and the fourman senior state team that represent Victoria, Sam has begun a rigorous and demanding training schedule.

A regular week sees him training at least four days per week and can then include competitions on the weekend.

Warburton archer Sam Breeden, 19, will be taking aim at the World Field Archery Championships in Wagga Wagga.

Picture: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT “Patience, a lot of training and persistence are some of the most important attributes required for archery,” he said after a quick practice session on a Tuesday morning.

Shooting for several hours at every practice session, Sam will go through multiple quivers of arrows and says the key to archery is shot execution - being able to hit the target consistently.

“The biggest key is shot execution, how the arrow leaves the bow - to repeat that form every time and be consistent in hitting the target is very important,” he said.

Although he admits things don’t always go to plan, it’s important to keep a clear head

when things go wrong.

“Persisting when things go wrong - if the arrow doesn’t go where you want it to, you have to learn to forget about it, and not get frustrated and hung up on it, because if you do it will only affect your next shot,” he said.

Armed with his new Bowtech compound bow, Sam will join over 500 competitors who will descend on Wagga Wagga from September 26-30 as part of the World Field Archery Championships.

Sam hopes to compete in as many World Championships as possible and one day hopes to win the World Cup in archery.

Road Safety Education found education is paramount to lowering the youth road toll in Victoria. 159811

Education will save young

By Jodie Symonds

to more experienced drivers.

TAC said 22 per cent of drivers who lost their lives on Australian roads were between ages 18 and 25.

According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau ATBS, it was found they were at greater risk on the roads for reasons including: lack of experience, limited ability, underestimation of risks, deliberate risk-taking behaviours and use of alcohol and drugs.

CEO of Road Safety Education Limited, Terry Birss said government support for community road safety initiatives was absolutely vital.

“Governments need to lend a hand, but should only be supporting road

safety education programs which comply with their own guidelines- like RYDA. It should not be about entertainment but education,” Mr Birss said.

“The current economic cost and personal impact of road fatalities is simply unacceptable.

“Road safety education programs such as RYDA have the potential to deliver massive economic benefits to our society, in addition to reducing the personal impact of road trauma.

Minister for Federal Transport, Darren Chester, told a national road safety conference that road trauma was now a public health crisis in Australia.

He said it was concerning that Aus-

tralians had almost become accepting of deaths and serious injuries as a price we had to pay for a modern transport system.

“A program such as RYDA is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young drivers and their passengers at a crucial stage in their life,” Mr Chester said.

“What students learn at the program does not come from driving lessons or books ... it only comes from being part of an interactive and personalised road safety educational course.”

MORE than 350 fatalities involving youth and young adults between 18 and 25 years occured on Victorian roads, 11 of those were in the Yarra Ranges - but a Road Safety Education study showed education is paramount to lowering the road toll.

Out of the 11 deaths in the Yarra Ranges, four were from driving in the opposite direction, three ran off a straight road, and four ran off the road on a curve.

Of the deaths in the Yarra Ranges, the fatalities were between the ages of 16-25, eight males and three females.

A four-year study conducted by

Road Safety Education, investigated the social impacts of education on youth road trauma, and found education is a vital part in lowering the road toll.

The RSE is a not-for-profit organisation, which runs the Youth Road Safety Awareness Program RYDA in Australia and New Zealand, aimed at reducing trauma on our roads by educating senior high school students between ages 16-18.

The Transport Accident Commission TAC said young drivers in Victoria were almost four times more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious injury crash in their first year, compared
