Prime location

By Kath Gannaway The future use of a prime piece of Coldstream real estate is set to go before Yarra Ranges Council on Tuesday, 28 February.

The proposal is to establish an ‘eco village tourist park’ on the nearly 30-hectare site on Maroondah Highway, near the Melba Highway turn-off.

It would see 16 eco cabins, 96 caravan and recreational vehicle sites and 40 camping sites, along with other complementary facilties, established on the high-profile, green-wedge site.

The application by land-owner Rod Spurling was lodged with Yarra Ranges Council in August last year with submissions and petitions being lodged in both opposition to the plan, and in support of it.

Spokesperson for the Coldstream Caravan Park Opposition Group, Ken MacGowan, told the Mail last week that they would be presenting a strong case to council against the development.

Mr MacGowan said the group had grown to over 60 members.

He said the feeling among members was that a caravan/tourist park was not a bad idea, but that for a number of reasons, the proposed site was the wrong location.

He said a loss of visual amenity and of use of what he said was prime agricultural land, were among the group’s concerns.

“You can see it for miles around and it is not in keeping with what you would expect from the entrance to the Yarra Valley,” he said.

“We believe that land zoned for rural pursuits should not be turned into a caravan park.”

Other concerns were the effect on adjoining land-owners in terms of amenity for residential properties along the Station Street boundary, and for farmers and the potential for conflict over baiting, spraying, noise and fertiliser smells.

Mr MacGowan said the group also saw traffic congestion as a major problem with the proposal.

He said a great deal of time, money and effort had gone into developing a

The Coldstream site. 165119 plan for Coldstream that would stimulate population growth and make the area more viable for businesses, for the school and for sporting groups.

“They said they want families to come that will enrich the community, and to make housing more affordable so our young people can afford to stay and live here and a caravan park will not provide that,” he said.

Brett Spurling however said the eco park would improve the visual amenity, transforming a blank hill with the planting of 4500 trees.

“We believe we have something here that can be very successful, something the area needs and that will be

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM good for the local area,” Mr Spurling said.

Addressing some of the issues raised by those opposed to the plan, he said the tourist park was an allowed use under the green wedge zoning.

“It won’t add to the economy in terms of the school or the football club, but we have an independent report that has it generating between $1.2 million and $1.5 million to the Coldstream area with use of the local businesses such as the hairdresser, supermarket, doctor, brewery and other services.

“That is in addition to the site fees paid,” Mr Spurling said.

He said road congestion had been a problem for a long time, but that Vi-

cRoads had given the proposal a tick.

Mr Spurling said talk that the park would become a permanent residential park was unfounded.

“This is a tourist park, not a caravan park. The length of stay is no more than 30 days and I believe this is one of the things council wants written into the permit.

He said under the proposal, camping would be restricted to the summer months and used for grazing for the remainder of the year.

Mr McGowan said the group was unhappy at the lack of community consultation which he said involved notifying adjoining landowners and an

information day he described as “a bit of a fizzer”.

“Fifty-six people turned up, largely opposed to the idea, but there was no real consultation, it was just an information evening,” he said.

Several of the Yarra Ranges councillors did however visit the site last week at the invitation of the Coldstream Caravan Park Opposition Group.

Submissions can be made on the application up until the time it goes to council.

The application can be viewed on the Council website Search ‘YR2016/833” on eplanning.yarraranges. vic.gov.au.

Kids’ new path to literacy

Daniel, Terry Hill, Mason, Graeme Chester, Brayden and Nicolle Cairns Picture: JESSE GRAHAM at Haig Avenue Kindergarten. 164937

Pre-school students in Healesville and Badger Creek will have more exposure to numeracy and literacy before reaching primary school, following a $3500 Rotary Club donation.

A donation through the Rotary Club of Healesville and Rotary’s District 9810 to KinderLink in Badger Creek saw $3500 in numeracy and literacy equipment for Badger Creek, Queens Park and Haig Avenue pre-schools.

Speaking to the Mail on Wednesday, 15 February, Rotary’s Terry Hill said the money came through a grant to address numeracy and literacy in the area, a current focus for the organisation.

“We know this is a very low area for numeracy and literacy - the whole of the Yarra Valley is quite low ... so they need much, much more numeracy and literacy-type activities, to keep them up to or get them up to a standard,” he said.

With Rotarian Graeme Chester, the group liaised with KinderLink manager Jacinta Graham to organise equipment for the three pre-schools, including books, weights, dominoes and a see-saw, among other items.

“Mats were purchased to facilitate the children’s development, learning to sit co-operatively, spatial aware-

ness - it’s hard for the children to sit in a circle if they’re on a square mat, for example,” Ms Graham said.

She said Haig Avenue Pre-school would also have literacy bags - bags with letters on them, containing items whose name began with that letter.

“Exposing them to numeracy and literacy awakens those skills,” she said.

“School is about further developing them - pre-school is about playing and learning through play, and being exposed to letters, numbers, stories and promoting their development.

“So it’s a good start.”

Free airtime is well in play

By Jesse Graham It began as a unique way of marketing in the lead-up to the 2016 Federal Election, but Peter Charleton’s free jumping castle quickly turned into a community service.

Mr Charleton said he started loaning out his jumping castle in January, 2016, as a way of meeting people and starting conversations in the lead-up to the July election, where he was standing as an independent for Casey.

His first castle booking was held in Seville on 31 January, and the premise was simple Mr Charleton would set up and pack up the castle, chat to party organisers before the event, and be on his way.

Though the election passed without a win for Mr Charleton, he said that seeing the “joy and happiness” the service had brought made him decide to keep the service going.

“I don’t means test anyone,” he wrote in an email to the Mail.

“If someone wants to book the castle and it is available, I will do it.”

With only five cancellations due to bad weather, and weathering a car accident and equipment breakdowns, Mr Charleton marked his 100th castle loan on Saturday 18 February, at a seventh birthday party in Toolangi.

Seven-year-old Lucas and his friends shared the castle and posed for a photo with Mail photographer Greg Carrick.

Later in the day, Mr Charleton set up the castle for his children at his Dixons Creek home, their first use of the castle since the free service began over a year ago.

Though he has not charged any of the castle recipients, Mr Charleton said he had received thank you cards, a donation or two from families, as well as the odd box of chocolate or gift.

A Facebook page, set up for the castle, has amassed a following and, as of Monday 20 February, had 8893 likes.

Though the 42 year old said he would be keeping the service going as much as possible, he said he may look at sponsorship in the future.

For more information about the service, visit www.facebook.com/freejumpingcastles or call 0477 419 270.

Highway works set

By Jesse Graham Drivers will have to detour via the Maroondah Highway to get to Yarra Glen from Monday, 27 February to 10 March, with major road reconstruction works set to close the Melba Highway through Yering.

VicRoads announced on Wednesday, 15 February, that road works would take place between Cambus and St Huberts roads in two stages, starting at the end of the month.

From Monday, 27 February to Friday, 3 March, the section of the highway will be closed for 24 hours a day - from Monday, 6 March to 10 March, the road will be closed from 6am-6pm.

The road will be open to traffic on Saturday 4 and Sunday, 5 March.

People driving small vehicles are being asked to detour via Maroondah Highway and St Huberts Road to get

to Yarra Glen, while B Double trucks and heavy vehicles are being asked to detour by going to Healesville and up Healesville-Yarra Glen Road.

VicRoads’ director of operations, Michael Barker, said the works would see the removal and replacement of “weak pavement material near the Stringy Bark Creek bridge”.

“We recognise this is a popular tourist route and the road will be opened on the weekend between the first and second stage of works, with reduced speed limits, so people can easily access the Yarra Valley region,” Mr Barker said.

“Heavy vehicle operators are particularly encouraged to allow for more travel time as the detour route is extensive through Healesville.”

Mr Barker said the works would be dependent on weather.

French boy’s platypus visit fills the bill

By Jesse Graham

Man assaults lollipop lady Police have identified a man involved in a “disgusting” assault on a Healesville crossing supervisor earlier this month, where a woman was hit repeatedly.

Healesville police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said that on Tuesday, 14 February, about 8.35am, a man approached a crossing supervisor on St Leonards Road in Healesville.

The man “verbally abused” the supervisor, before knocking the hat off her head and hitting her on the head multiple times.

“Although she didn’t receive any injuries, she’s still very shaken up by the incident,” Sgt Thomson said.

He said the assault was “completely unacceptable”, and that police had identified the man involved in the assault, though officers had yet to interview him.

“From our point-of-view, it’s disgusting, and he’ll be interviewed and put before the courts to explain himself,” Sgt Thomson said.

One-way screws offered Healesville police are warning residents to be wary of number plate theft, after the front and rear plates were stolen from a car in a driveway last week.

Healesville police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said that between 7pm on Thursday, 16 February and 8pm the next day, the front and rear numberplates were stolen from a car parked at its owner's address, on Maroondah Highway, Healesville.

One-way security screws for various types of cars can be picked up from Lilydale police station during business hours.

Anyone with information about the theft is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to file a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

A Lilydale man will face court next month after being arrested for robbing a gym in town on Valentine’s Day. Police officers, posting on the Eyewatch - Yarra Ranges Police Service Area Facebook page, wrote that a 25-year-old man had been arrested after breaking into a gymnasium on Main Street, Lilydale, on the morning of Tuesday, 14 February.

The man is believed to have broken into the building, stealing drink bottles, merchandise and health food.

He was arrested a short distance away “after being seen on the roof of another premises”, the officers wrote.

The man has been remanded to face Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 8 March.

Thursday, 16 February was the culmination of a year and a half of campaigning for the family of Samuel StraubRaeis, when the 11-year-old French boy met his first platypus.

Samuel’s family visited Healesville Sanctuary on Thursday morning for a tour and a wade with Yami the platypus, following a fund-raising campaign that began in September, 2015.

The campaign was started by Samuel’s physiotherapist in France, as the wheelchair-bound 11-year-old suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy a rare disease that causes muscle weakness and results in a shorter life expectancy.

The goal of the campaign was simple - to get Samuel across to Australia to meet his favourite animal, the platypus.

Through donations from 116 people and organisations, 7960 euros (roughly $11,038 Australian dollars) was raised to get Samuel to Australia and to the sanctuary.

“Because the illness does not forget them, let’s help Samuel and his family to forget it a little, by leaving for a wonderful and unforgettable journey,” a translated post on the crowdfunding page read.

After the public platypus show at the sanctuary on the Thursday, Samuel and his father Thomas hopped into the platypus tank with keeper, Jessica Thomas, and Yami the platypus.

The pair was able to pat the platypus while Ms Thomas told them about the animal, while his mother, Magali, and sister, Elisa, looked on.

Following the wade, Ms Thomas brought a second platypus out for Elisa to pat before the family continued their

Stay healthy One of the best ways to keep healthy as we age, and to live longer, is to maintain our muscle mass.

I’m sure everyone over 60 can attest to the loss of strength as they age, but did you know that age-related muscle loss begins in our mid to late thirties?

It varies from person to person, due to a few other factors which I’ll get into in a minute, but you can almost guarantee that once you hit your forties, your muscle mass will continue to diminish by about five percent each decade until ... bang!

It starts accelerating at some point after 60, and for some people right on 60.

This naturally occurring phenomenon is called sarcopaenia.

It’s a bit like osteopaenia’s little brother in terms of public perception.

But in fact this muscle loss contributes to a far greater public health outcome than osteopaenia (the forerunner

to osteoporosis).

This is because maintaining muscle mass benefits not only your feeling of strength and being physically able, but also improves metabolism to reduce the risk of type two diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

It also helps to prevent falls and physical injuries as we age, which can often act as a catalyst to further reduced mobility and psychological well-being in the elderly.

So how can you resist this natural force helping to push you into the dust sooner than expected?

Strangely enough, by doing exactly what our old friend Barnaby Joyce said when a sugar tax was recently mooted - get

out and exercise more, and eat well (actually he said stop eating so much if you are fat but that’s possibly another article in itself).

But the magic tip is to start this ‘exercising and eating well’ fad early enough in life as to halt the acceleration of sarcopaenia.

Yes it’s never too late, but if you can up your exercise level in your mid to late 30s, at an age when most of us have stopped playing sport and begin to feel like there are not enough hours in the day to exercise, then you will give yourself the best chance at being healthy and more physically able later in life.

And back to my physio hat if you are beginning an exercise program from scratch, don’t let injuries and soreness slow you down.

Get some professional advice and core strengthening exercises from a professional to help you on your way.

Ross River virus: two detection

By Jesse Graham

Picture: ROB CAREW

Get ready to run!

By Kath Gannaway The countdown is on to one of Warburton’s most enduring community events, theWarburton Up and Running Fun Run on Sunday, 26 February.

Last year more than 700 people ran and walked in the event, which has become an annual pilgrimage for serious runners and for families and casual walkers just out to enjoy the atmosphere of the big run in the beautiful surrounds of Warburton.

Events include a 2km kids’ run, 5km walk, 5km run, 10km run and a half-marathon. The half-marathon competitors all receive a finisher’s medallion.

Organisers are aiming to break records both in terms of money raised and entries and there are lots of incentives behind that aim.

Yarra Valley tourism have come on board this year providing giveaways on the day and filming the course for promotion on their website.

There are accommodation prize packages from Oscars on the River, the RACV Country Club and Warburton Holiday Park and the Killara Wine team’s event based on total team mileage, not times, so every team has a chance to win prizes.

“This is a terrific motivator for a bunch of friends or work colleagues to enter one of the events,” said race director Lesley Grimes.

The event supports the CFA brigades and SES who Ms Grimes said do amazing work within the Upper

Yarra communities and who will be helping out on the day as volunteer marshals and in other roles, including the popular SES kids’ warm-up.

One of the great drawcards is the course itself. Running alongside the Yarra River and through towering Mountain Ash forests, it is rated as one of the most scenic runs in Australia.

Enter online, or on the day (cash only).

Two Healesville residents have been diagnosed with the mosquito-borne Ross River virus, which can result in year-long symptoms and treatment, according to a local doctor.

Get Well Clinic’s Dr Khoi Bui said on Wednesday, 15 February, that a 41-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man had been diagnosed with RRV in the last two days after blood samples were sent off for testing last week.

Dr Bui said he wasn’t aware of any other RRV diagnoses in the area in recent months, but that warm and wet weather provided perfect breeding conditions for mosquitos, which can carry the virus.

“It’s common in certain parts of Australia - it has been reported in Victoria ... but it hasn’t been reported in the Yarra Valley,” he said.

The two patients reported joint swelling and pain, fatigue and muscle aches - all symptoms of RRV, which can continue to display symptoms in some people for up to a year.

Infected people may also develop rashes, have enlarged lymph nodes and feel pins and needles on the soles of their feet or palms of their hands.

Symptoms can become apparent between three to 21 days after being exposed to the virus, which cannot be spread from person-to-person.

Dr Bui said there was no vaccine for the virus, and that only symptomatic treatment was available for people with the virus until they recovered.

He said that residents should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, such as wearing long clothing when outdoors, using insect repellents, avoiding light-coloured clothing when outside in the early evening and using indoor insecticide in bedrooms if mosquitos are an issue.

Finding mosquito breeding places - such as buckets, old tyres or containers outdoors with stagnant water in them and emptying them - can help reduce mosquito populations.

“Ross River virus is only rarely deadly, but it can take a long time for a patient to fully recover from infection,” Dr Bui said.

“We just want people to get the right information and to go see a doctor.”

The diagnoses have been reported to the State Government.

Diesel, tools theft probed

By Kath Gannaway Warragul police are investigating the theft of diesel fuel and tools from the Blue Vein logging coupe near Powelltown.

Contractors discovered the theft of around 1500 litres of diesel fuel and a swag of between 40 and 50 tools, esti-

mated to be worth $5000, when they arrived at the site on Tuesday, 7 February.

A quantity of fuel, which is highly flammable, was also drained onto the surrounding ground.

Detective Senior Constable Justine Prestidge said it was believed the theft took place sometime between Friday,

3 February and Tuesday, 7 February while the site was unattended.

Members of the Morwell Crime Scene Investigation Unit have also gathered evidence at the site.

Detectice Sen Const Prestidge said the coupe was accessible, being around five kilometres off the Powelltown-

Noojee Road, near the Ada Tree.

He said a person originally arrested over the theft had been exonerated, and police are following another avenue of inquiry.

VicForests general manager, Lachlan Spencer, said the theft and diesel contamination had left significant damage to the environment.

“We are working to clean up the 2000 litres of fuel that was dumped on the ground,” he told the Mail last week.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Warragul Police on 5622 7152, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au .

Bushfire arson awareness campaign launched

By Peter Douglas Crime Stoppers launched its bushfire arson awareness campaign in Lilydale Lake on Monday 13 February, urging locals to report unsafe behaviour.

Representatives from the CFA, Victoria Police, Parks Victoria and DEWLP were in attendance.

The campaign reminds people to be mindful that sometimes normal-seeming activities could result in bushfire arson.

Crime Stoppers Victoria Community manager, Chris Plumridge, said the community needed to stay vigilant.

“Both recklessly and deliberately lit fires are considered arson by law,” Mr Plumridge said.

“Whether it’s a campfire on a total fire ban day, or whether you’re grinding or welding and there’s a spark, reckless bushfire arson can still result in the same tragic consequences as deliberate arson.”

Superintendent Graeme Arthur echoed the call for residents to report what they know.

“Recklessly and deliberately lit fires affect the entire community, so it’s up to all of us to keep the community safe,” he said.

“As police, we can’t be everywhere, so that’s why we need the community’s support in reporting what they know, so that we can stop bushfire arson before it happens.”

If you see something, say something.

Call 1800 333 000.

Letters Aldi in focus I can declare I approve of Aldi coming into Healesville, but I am not sure that the article quoting from the Trumans really is important.

Yes, I agree the sign is too large, after all, no-one in town will not know that it is coming, and being built, so it wouldn’t matter if it had no sign.

Tourists are not coming to Healesville to see Aldi, and the huge sign outside Coles is not bigger?

As for the height, if that isn’t there, where will the office part, and the machinery go? If the problem is visual, there are trees as you approach to part disguise it, keep the removal to a minimum, and given time it will blend in, and probably look better than the Scout Hall before it.

It couldn’t possibly look worse than that eyesore on the east end of town, it is up to the shire to make sure that the colours and finishes are better than that is.

There are 66 parking spaces, and the original car park opposite, surely that is enough, you won’t be inside shopping for all that long anyway. The dock is placed in River Street, so

that there should be no disruption from heavy vehicles backing in, they don’t have to.

The plans online may not be an artist's impression, but it’s not difficult to see what’s what from the plans. Given time after it opens, no-one will care about the minor issues, they’ll only care about what’s on offer.

Steve Odell, Chum Creek.

Doctor Feelgood The DELWP-run meeting at Don Valley, held in December to discuss Haining Farm, was supposedly run to gather local ideas.

Yet, only speakers giving Yellingbo Conservation Area history and views were allowed to address the meeting.

Followed by the 'Feel Good Tables'!

These infamous tables are well-known in this timber industry area.

Why 'Feel Good'?

They are used when DELWP wants to get controversial legislation past the affected objectors.

The public sit around the tables and write down their ideas and go away feeling good that

they are being listened to.

Lo and behold, usually about one year later, it becomes legislation, with words like ‘after consulting the community’.

And yet there is no real change to the original proposal.

If DELWP is to continue as professional Crown land managers, why does it appear that they allow this green ideology culture within, just to override procedural fairness?

Daryl Cochrane, Yarra Junction.

Diesel fitter DEAR editor, I worry for the future of your movie reviewer, Seth Hynes.

His courage is undoubted but he should pick his targets better.

Vin Diesel is a nasty enemy to make.

What about Ruby Rose, also on the XXX team.

Her character is a creampuff compared to Xander Cage and she fights like a girl.

The reasons for making this mess of a film are, as you say, extremely vague.

Keep up the good work, Seth, I like the

cut of your jib.

Stanley R. Burgess, Healesville.

Truckload of thanks Regarding the log truck accident on Black Spur, Healesville, Thursday 5 January 2017.

We would sincerely like to thank members of the public, emergency services, friends and acquaintances for providing assistance, support and concern at the accident scene and ongoing thereafter.

Local police, tourists/travellers, friends/ family, and other services have been absolutely amazing.

The kindness displayed is a special attribute of the human spirit and we are extremely grateful to have wonderful people around us.

Luck was definitely on our side this day, apart from grazes, bruises and a few bumps, Colin got off lightly when you consider how badly damaged our rig was, which is easily replaced unlike a person's life and well-being.

We thank you all.

Colin and Anne Piergrosse, Castella.

Pages from the past The Healesville Guardian 20 February 1937 In Case You Didn’t Know Cr Mowle has begun reconditioning St Leonards Road which according to local report has given pleasure to a wide circle of friends. A large gang of men is said to be employed on the undertaking.

Upper Yarra Mail 23 February 1995 Youth Alcohol Project Launched Star of Blue Heelers John Woods officially launched the Youth Alcohol Community project incorporating the Youth Alcohol Working Party last Wednesday night at the Shire of Yarra Ranges, Upper Yarra District Office.

Youth alcohol misuse, Mr Woods

said, is a community problem that needs to be addressed by all sections of the community. If we are to create change within our society it must be a combined effort on behalf of the community.

Working Party to Evaluate Library Service Yarra Ranges Sire Council has formed a working party to evaluate the library service offered to residents throughout the municipality.

The working party consists of one community and one library management representative from each of the former shires, one regional library representative and the Chief Executive

Officer, Mr Eric Howard.

Are you prepared for grassfire?

If you live in a rural area surrounded by grasslands or paddocks, you could be at risk of grassire. Travelling at speeds of up to 25kph, grassires can quickly threaten lives and property. Reduce your risk, slash or mow grass to create fuel breaks around your home, and avoid using machinery near grass on hot, dry, windy days. The reasons why are black and white.

Volunteers build great bridges

By Jodie Symonds Yarra Valley Railway volunteers completed bridge works along the Tarrawarra Estate to Yarra Glen section on Tuesday 24 January.

Vice-president Brett Whelan said two bridges including the one on the Tarrawarra Estate site were the last to be completed.

Thanks to funding from Casey MP Tony Smith, he said a total of 16 bridges were redeveloped by the railway over the last couple of years.

“It’s an amazing effort considering it’s all been done by volunteers,” Mr Whelan said. “ ... about a hundred thousand hours went in with around 600 individual volunteers participating.”

Mr Whelan said the bridges were built using second hand bridge beams that came from VicRoads,

VLine and the Yarra Ranges Council to limit costs.

Work on the Tarrawarra Estate bridge started in late 2015, but Mr Whelan said due to the bridge being in a low lying area, wet weather conditions made the work difficult to complete.

“That was probably one of the hardest bridges,” he said.

“It’s good for it to be completed and the guys have done a fantastic job.”

Yarra Valley Railway plans to start work on the Tarrawarra station site and Yarra Glen station this year.

Mr Whelan said volunteers would work on the platforms at both sites, and once completed they would continue to get drainage and formation back together.

Lisa lights up violence-hit lives

By Jesse Graham

Lisa Malek, Emily Cusworth and Lindsay Frost at the Healesville RSL. 165005 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

The mastermind behind the Lions Den Op Shop’s mammoth Christmas light display has donated their prize money to charity, to help children and families touched by violence.

The lights display by Lions Den, which featured countless toys and lights across two large windows, earned it a secondplace prize in last year’s Deck the Heales-ville competition and a $500 cheque.

But at the Lions Club’s 15 February meeting at the Healesville RSL, the artist behind the elaborate display, Lisa Malek, donated the prize money to the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.

She said she wanted to sup-

port a charity that helped women or children who had been affected by violence.

“They’re both something I can relate to,” she told the Mail.

“The Alannah and Madeline Foundation was the best one to choose at the time.”

The foundation runs programs for families and children affected by violence and bullying, set up in memory of Alannah and Madeline Mikac, who were six and three years old when they were killed during the Port Arthur mass shooting in 1996.

The foundation has care programs for children who have witnessed or experienced violence, as well as prevention programs and cyber-safety programs.

Foundation representative Emily Cusworth said the organisation was “humbled” to receive the donation from Ms Malek.

“Especially coming from Lisa, when it’s something so personal and so close to her heart, it means a lot to us - as well as from the Healesville community, too, it’s really special,” she said.

Ms Malek said the display at the Lions Den took two nights to install, and about two months to plan and create.

Lions Club president Lindsay Frost told the Mail in January that the competition would be returning this year, with more details to be made available around October-November.

The Warburton Summer Produce Market has become a popular Friday night meeting place for locals and visitors.

The non-for-profit twilight market is all about growing and nutrition with bountiful supply of food for the body, mind and soul.

All it took was for a local grower to lament to the right person about the challenges of selling her produce locally over the summer months.

The challenge was taken up by local community member Kate Baker, and with the support of other keen locals, growers and Yarra Ranges Council, the seeds of what has become a successful venture for the town were sown.

“So many of us had said how much we would like to be able to buy local produce more easily and this idea for a market that combines gorgeous locally-grown and artisan produced foods, along with live ambient music, and other activities, was seen as a way of achieving that,” Kate said.

The plastic-bag-free market is held on the village green and along the rail trail near the COG Cafe each Friday evening from 4.30pm to sunset.

The first market was a sell-out and the number of sellers and diversity of goods has increased each week.

Among the great range of foods available are organic vegetables and fruit, free range eggs, honey, cheeses, coffee, breads, wine and cider, flowers, chocolate and sauces and preserves.

TOP TIPS WHEN LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT HOME LOAN When it comes to shopping for the perfect home loan, it pays to check out what is on offer in the local community first.

Borrowers deserve the personalised services that comes from someone in their community who knows them best.

From left, Dan Mathers, Carla Nobes and Adam Whitworth. 162724

Take a big picture perspective While there are many lending providers offering all kinds of attractive bonuses to get borrowers to take up their offers, it’s worth considering the big picture.

Would a home loan that could actually make a meaningful contribution to the local community be more important than ‘bells and whistle’ home loans that only have profit as an objective? What are the big picture priorities?

Look for a great relationship Taking the time to find the right lending manager can make all the difference.

They will be someone who a borrower feels comfortable with, one who can provide an ongoing service and personalised attention.

Being able to meet face-to-face when needed should be considered the standard for great service.

Use the lending manager as a resource Write down the most important questions before the first meeting.

No doubt there will be many more questions but a lending manager should be keen to guide borrowers through the process in the most streamlined way.

Ask for the best value added services and products on offer.

A great lending manager can also support everyday banking, business, insurance and other financial needs.

There may be significant advantages for a borrower to have one or more options combined into a package that is exclusively

designed for them and their needs.

The lending managers at Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches

can do all this and more.

The women with interest

By Kath Gannaway An artist, a writer and a photographer will take to the stage for the next Women of Interest lunch at Warburton on Wednesday, 8 March.

Event organisers, Anne O’Shaughnessy and Kerry Nichols, have once again drawn together a very special trio of remarkable Yarra Valley women under the banner “Women Working Creatively”.

The lunch falls on International Women’s Day, a time when women, and men, want to celebrate strong, interesting, creative women, and look for inspiration from them.

They may just have hit the jackpot with Belinda Rogers, Lindy Schneider and Kate Baker.

Belinda is a successful Yarra Valley artist who paints from a studio at the renowned artists’ colony, Monsalvat in Eltham.

Her work, which could be described as “watery and dreamy abstraction” has won numerous prizes and she has exhibited in Singapore and is currently preparing for a solo

exhibition in Los Angeles.

Belinda has followed her passion for painting since childhood and is a published poet, an acupuncturist and student of Zen philosophy which is reflected in her painting and poetry.

Lindy is a writer, freelance communications specialist and equine/arts therapist who has lived in Warburton for 15 years with her partner and two children.

Her creative writing life brings together her greatest loves and is inspired by the search for meaning and the desire to ‘elevate the feminine’.

A published author and award-winning script writer, she is currently working on the project ‘From This Place’ with Angela Rivas which explores the lives of women working in the arts.

Kate moved to Warburton from Sydney seven years ago, leaving a corporate career to follow her vocation as a photographic artist full-time.

A photographer who works primarily with black and white film, she has been a winner of

Artist Yhonnie Scarce at TarraWarra Museum of Art. 165058

Exhibition gives unsettling feel

By Jesse Graham

the Warburton Visage Portrait competition and exhibited internationally.

Kate’s book ‘Fridays at Oasis’, a series of portraits, was published in 2008 and she is currently working on a Yarra Valley based project ‘Seen and Heard - Boy to Man’.

The event will have an added spark this year with a panel format in which the event's organisers Anne and Kerry will interview the creative woman with opportunities also for the audience to pose questions.

Women of Interest - Women Working Creatively is at the Arts Centre in Warburton from noon to 3pm on Wednesday 8 March.

The program is supported

by Warburton/Yarra Junction Community Bank Branches (Bendigo Bank) and Yarra Ranges Council - so entry is by gold coin donation.

Participants are asked to contribute to a shared luncheon, and encouraged to invite a friend - or friends!

For further information phone Kerry Nichols on 0439 039 171.

Yhonnie Scarce: Hollowing Earth and an exhibition of Melbourne artist Louise Hearman’s work opened at the museum on Saturday, 18 February.

The latter exhibition fills the two main halls of TWMA, with the walls, usually white, painted a deep brown.

Curator Anna Davis said the colour was chosen by the artist to complement their work, which features portraits and landscape paintings with dark, mysterious and ominous themes.

When compared to previous exhibitions in the space, such as last year’s Biennial exhibition, the lighting in the space and the works combine to give an unsettling feeling to viewers - that, Ms Davis said, was the point.

“Originally, she was talking about it being like a cave, or having this mysterious, dark quality,” Ms Davis said.

“She spent a long time picking the exact colour which is called, actually, intuition, which is quite fitting.”

Though the exhibition fea-

tures more than 50 of Hearman’s works over the span of their career, Ms Davis said it was not a chronological walkthrough of their art, but a survey - the first major museum survey of the artist.

“We haven’t worked chronologically or tried to pick works from all different periods or anything like that,” she said.

“Instead, we worked intuitively and we made a decision in the beginning ... about the way that she worked, which was quite intuitive, and we decided to kind-of model the show on that.

“It’s all based on atmosphere, feeling, emotion, mood, that kind of thing.”

In the back hall of the museum, framed with a window looking out over vineyards and the valley, is Ms Scarce’s exhibition, which focuses on mining - particularly uranium mining - on Aboriginal land in South Australia.

Her works feature a number of blown-glass fruits, some bearing scorch marks and holes, all made of a faintly green uranium glass.

Ms Scarce, an Aboriginal woman of South Australia’s Kokatha and Nukunu people, was commissioned to make the pieces by TWMA director and curator Victo-

ria Lynn, for CLIMARTE’s Art+Climate=Change 2017 festival.

She said the pieces respond to the 25 underground and open-cut mines in South Australia, with “bush banana” fruits symbolising landscapes that are scarred or hollowed by mining.

“I want people to think of the desecration of land as well - there’s a lot of financial gain through this, but what are you left with?” she said.

“These pieces, on their own ... are very much like a landscape, too.

“But when they’re all together, it’s like this cluster of areas that have been affected - it changes as you walk around the table, it’s a three-dimensional landscape.”

She said the colour of the glass works change with the light coming through the window, whether at sunset or in the middle of the day - and that light would continue to change as summer gives way to autumn.

Combined with photographs of mining areas and nuclear bomb models on display near testing areas in South Australia, Ms Scarce said she hoped the pieces would make visitors think of the “sickness” that uranium could cause.

The Memo, Healesville

Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

Fifty Shades Darker feels like last month’s Passengers: a somewhat decent film poisoned by some extremely disquieting gender politics.

For what it’s worth, Fifty Shades Darker is considerably better than the previous film, Fifty Shades Of Grey.

Darker has sumptuous cinematography, some endearingly human moments, hot and artfully-shot sex scenes, and Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) have better chemistry this time round.

But all the stylishness in the world cannot detract from how toxic the core relationship is.

Christian continues to act in a very possessive and controlling manner toward Anastasia, intruding upon her personal and professional lives. The (admittedly fun and steamy) sex scenes are effectively used as placating justification for Christian’s treatment of her.

I’m reminded of Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire, in which longsuffering wife Stella Kowalski thinks that her husband Stanley’s sexual irresistibility excuses his inexcusable acts of domestic abuse.

The big difference is that A Streetcar Named Desire fully acknowledges Stanley as a disgusing wife-beating rapist. But Darker neither commits to or fully expunges the darkness in Christian’s character.

As such, the tender bonding and marriage proposal feel unearned after all the controlling behaviour and subtle emotional abuse.

The film is also slow and tedious, almost devoid of any lasting conflict.

It’s frankly disturbing how misogynistic Fifty Shades Darker ended up being.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

Bloods set for a thriller

By Chris Anderson In a round where the top teams met the bottom teams, it was the bowlers who enjoyed a day out in the Yarra Valley Cricket Association’s top grade, DJ Strachan Shield.

The in-form Warburton-Millgrove and Yarra Junction made short work Seville and Yarra Glen respectively, which look to be searching for the end of the season.

Healesville continued Woori Yallock’s woes, but didn’t escape unscathed.

Much was expected of Healesville this season, but the Bloods have endured a torrid season where little has gone right.

With only two rounds to go to make a statement, they chose a struggling Woori Yallock outfit to capitalise upon.

The Tigers haven’t won a game since Christmas.

After facing the other sides in the top four, they would’ve viewed their clash against the Bloods as a perfect opportunity to regain some form, and some much needed momentum going into the finals.

Healesville’s woes with the bat this season saw them elect to bowl upon winning the toss in a bid to put the pressure on the faltering Tigers.

The battle between bat and ball was dogged early with neither side giving an inch.

Young star Dermott Fry has threatened in recent seasons to establish himself as a genuine matchwinner; and upon breaking the opening partnership, he proceeded to take 7/47 to wear the Tigers into submission.

The visitors battled hard, but it was all in vain, as Fry, and his opening partner Chance Burridge (3/24), bowled magnificently, and virtually unchanged for the duration of the 59 overs bowled.

The batsmen had no answers for the discipline, control, and tireless effort of the pair, and consequently yielded for a disappointing 78.

A worrying sign for the reigning champs.

With little over a half hour, and 11 overs to bat, Healesville only had to see the day out unscathed, and set themselves for a small chase on day two.

At 0/16, and nearly seven overs ticked off, they looked set to get to stumps in a commanding position.

As has been the case for the Bloods all season, however, the wheels fell off.

In the space of 26 balls, the home side slipped to 5/17 courtesy of some fine bowling from Simon Young (3/11) and Ryan Smith (2/1) to turn this game on its head.

Next week is now set for a thrilling finish.

The Tigers will be desperate for a win to restore some confidence, and will rely on Young, and the spin of Smith and Morgan to get the necessary wickets.

With little left in the shed, Healesville will be relying on the experience of the inform Mark Minney to produce another quality innings to shepherd the tail to the target.

Warburton-Millgrove preyed on a vulnerable Seville in a commanding display with the ball.

The Burras sent the home side in and were met by some early resistance

from Matt Hadlum and Lachlan Corbett, but once the partnership was broken, the Blues succumbed to some brilliance from David and Daniel Lever.

The pair combined for an excellent spell of bowling where David’s control and accuracy saw Daniel’s spin and guile rewarded with the wickets.

In the end, the pair saw the Seville innings wrapped up in the space of 42 overs for a dismal 47.

Daniel Lever took the spoils snaring 6/15 off 14 overs, while David Lever could consider himself a little unlucky not to capture more than 2/17 off his 13 overs.

Despite losing Ben and David Lever relatively cheaply, an unbeaten stand of 41 between Liam Barnard and Sean Humphrey sees the Burras in complete control of this contest with the score on 2/72.

The Burras now have a week to think how they’ll approach day two.

With a top two position, and subsequently a home final, already assured, outright points aren’t vital in the grander scheme of things.

An early declaration would indicate a dash at outright points and a complete annihilation of their opponents, while they may elect to bat on in an opportunity to give their batting lineup some quality time at the crease in a perfect preparation for their assault on the premiership.

Either way, they have the whip handle.

They cannot be any more impressive with just two weeks away from finals.

In the final game of the round, Yarra Junction continued their impressive post-Christmas form with a complete display against Yarra Glen.

Yarra Glen won the toss and duly took the opportunity to bat in friendly conditions.

James Kelly and David Brambilla battled gamely against some quality bowling, but when Kelly fell in the 10th over to the bowling of Nick Bark, the wheel quickly turned in Yarra Junction’s favour.

Eagles captain Quinton Hodgkinson was quick to insert Cam Spaulding into the attack fresh from his masterful display against Seville last week, and his combination with Bark proved irresistible.

The pair bowled an extended spell, and heaped the pressure on their inexperienced opposition.

With his second consecutive six wicket haul, Spaulding is emerging as the Eagles ’X factor’ heading into the finals.

His 6/19 off 18.4 overs was well complimented by Bark’s 3/27 as the pair gave the Glen no relief to have them all out for 68.

After barely missing outright points last round, Yarra Junction quickly put themselves in position to have another crack next week.

With a distinct Kiwi flavour at the top of the order, Troy Hancock (73no) and Andy Taylor (51) combined for a blistering 91 run partnership to quickly surpass Yarra Glen’s small total.

Hodgkinson saw the day out with Hancock, as the Eagles reached 2/145 by stumps.

Once again, the ball is firmly in the visitors court.

Like Warburton-Millgrove, they are left with the decision to bat on with a view to giving their batsmen valuable time at the wicket, or press for outright points with an early declaration.

The pace at which they finished the day could mean they get an opportunity at both.

HEALESVILLE BOWLS Healesville 1 played Ashburton 2 at home on their synthetic green. Healesville, after being in a winning position and evenly-placed at the break, leading 45/42, were once again overpowered in the second half, with Ashburton proving too strong in the run home, going on to win by nine shots.

By Jamie Strudley The weather tried its best to disrupt Yarra Ranges Athletics club athletes at the Eastern Metro Region (EMR) Track and Field Championships, held at the Knox Athletic Club over the weekend.

Two days of heats, finals, laughter and tears, but an overwhelming sense of fun and enjoyment capped a great weekend of athletics.

Great to see athletes timing their fitness and preparation well to record many personal bests during the competition.

Proof that championships are not all about medals, much of the fun is supporting club members and doing your best, medals become the ‘icing on the cake’.

Athletes represented Yarra Ranges Athletics with too many PBs to count and a few medals.

The most outstanding effort was in the Under 11s Girls 800m where Kiara Flavel recorded a Victorian Best Performance of 2.23.13s.

The three new teams in the competition, although not knowing much about it at this stage, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Not only were the participants hungry for competition, they were also hungry for food as snags soon ran out.

Motoring Tonka grows to life sized Toyota is set to build a dream toy for grown-ups: a life-size Tonka truck based on Australia’s bestselling ute, the “unbreakable" Toyota HiLux. The Tonka-inspired Toyota HiLux monster truck - the brainchild of Toyota Australia’s inhouse designers - will soon become reality as a one-off, fully driveable concept car.

This trusted workhorse will be elevated to great heights by all-new underpinnings including custom suspension and massive wheels and tyres, transforming an already hugely capable off-roader into a prodigious rock climber.

Conceived as the ultimate off-road adventurer, the HiLux Tonka project illustrates the ongoing capabilities - and passion - of Toyota Australia’s product design team.

The eye-popping concept is based on the most

Toyota Australia's in-house designers are working on a one-off concept car. 164927 popular HiLux variant - the 4x4 HiLux SR5 double cab and its powerful, top-spec 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine.

To make sure your Toyota continues to run its best, it’s essential to keep your scheduled services up to-date.

Phone Glenn or Barry on

Phone 5962 4333

But that’s about where the similarities end. Almost every exterior HiLux surface will be beefed up as part of the Tonka metamorphosis.

The brawny HiLux body will be augmented with aggressive new bumpers, grille, tailgate, wheel-arches and door mouldings among other new components that reinforce its image as a tough-as-nails vehicle designed for off-road fun.

Of course, the attention-grabbing concept will be instantly recognisable to kids of all ages, thanks to in-your-face black-and-yellow Tonka livery.

Toyota Australia’s product design chief Nicolas Hogios said combining the tough and enduring DNA of the HiLux and Tonka brands was a natural fit.

“We expect the extreme style and capability of our re-imagined HiLux will capture the imagination of kids and adults alike," Mr Hogios said.

“HiLux is such a great canvas, and we really pushed the envelope by marrying our number-one seller with the Tonka brand," he said.

“The end result is so exciting because the HiLux Tonka really delivers the dream of every

Australian kid who ever wanted such a truck," he said.

The release of the concept sketch closely follows confirmation that in 2016 HiLux, sold here for 45 years, became the first ute to top the national sales ladder for a calendar year. It has been Australia’s best-selling 4x4 for the past 12 years in a row.

Toyota Australia’s designers are part of a product planning and development division that is responsible for ensuring the company’s vehicles are desirable for local customers and suitable for the tough Australian environment.

Last year Toyota and Tonka joined forces in Australia with a special-purpose HiLux SR5 double cab, which assumed duty as a pace car for the 2016-'17 Sydney Speedway season.

The expanded tie-up is significant as both brands celebrate milestones this year - 80 years since the foundation of Toyota Motor Corporation and the 70th anniversary of Tonka.

Toyota expects to reveal the fully driveable concept within months.

Drivers beat the heat

Motorists planning on driving in Victoria this summer should take a few minutes to ensure they understand the heightened bushfire risk across much of the state, RACV says.

After a wetter-than-average Spring across Victoria, there is a lot of vegetation that poses a significant bushfire risk across all areas of Victoria as the weather heats up.

RACV General Manager Motor Insurance Mark Geraghty urged people planning to drive in rural and regional Victoria to take steps to protect themselves.

Mr Geraghty said motorists should monitor weather conditions and be prepared to defer travel in high-risk bushfire areas on days of extreme

conditions.

“It is important to understand Victoria’s Fire Danger Ratings and consider what would be the trigger for you to cancel your plans or cut a trip short to return to a safer area,” he said.

“Motorists need to stay informed and be prepared to alter their plans.

“While it is safest to stay away from high-risk areas, if you have to travel it is critical to be aware of where Community Fire Refuges and Neighbourhood Safer Places - places of last resort - are located and how to seek shelter in a building or vehicle if you are caught in a bushfire.

“CFA is the expert authority and we urge everyone to make use of its resources,

particularly its website. You can also download the new, free VicEmergency app for smartphones and tablet computers that provides weather warnings and information about what to do during a fire.”

Being caught in a car during a bushfire is extremely dangerous, but there are some steps you can take as a motorist to protect yourself.

“Take 10 minutes to learn about how to increase your chance of survival if you are ever caught in a grass or bushfire,” Mr Geraghty said.

More information about how to prepare for and survive a bushfire is available from CFA online at cfa.vic. gov.au or by calling the VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.
