Two Warburton families have been left devastated after a house fire on Waterloo Avenue spread quickly to a neighbouring house.

The fire was described as being the worst structure fire in the Warburton area in a decade, and 14 fire services attended the scene.

After evacuating the house Nina immediately ran to the neighbours to alert them of the fire.

The family of four has since begun to look to the future and although they have shared “lots of tears” Lily said the response from the community and family and friends had been overwhelming.

“We’re all pretty numb and still processing, it’s surreal.”

“We’ve had lots of tears, but we’re okay, the response from the community has been amazing, we’ve been quite overwhelmed from the response ... Monday morning we already had a bag of clothes for us ... It’s been incredible.”

The Hellicars only moved to Warburton two year ago, an area in which the family had always wanted to live.

“We’ve wanted to live here forever,” Lily said.

There is a donations account for the Hellicars to help the family with immediate necessities.

The account details with Warburton Bendigo Community Bank are BSB number: 633 000 and account number: 153 265 822.

A GoFundMe campaign has also been started to help Nina and the neighbouring ThompsonStokkel family who also lost their house and contents.

“My mum’s partner, Ben, was awake, and screaming for everyone to get out, the smoke alarm was going off, we were all asleep,” Nina’s daughter, Lily Hellicar said.

The fast growing fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire house within minutes - with the Hellicars only having time to grab the bare essentials.

Lily (21) said, she and her sister Rosie (13) awoke to a cloud of smoke and had little time to react.

“There was smoke everywhere ... we were all still half asleep, I couldn’t really comprehend what was happening,” Lily said.

“I ran a sheet under the shower upstairs, and I didn’t make it downstairs before the fire grew, it was that fast.”

It’s hard to convey the meaning of home - it’s a place of sanctuary, of irreplaceable memories, and is often built by the heart rather than the hands.

Yarra Valley residents are all too aware of the devastating impact that fires can have on individuals and a community, and so our thoughts go out to anyone who loses a house; whether through bushfire or house fire we come together to help those in need.

Warburton’s Hellicar and Thompson-Stokkell families were left devastated on 1 October after a fire started just after midnight and destroyed both houses.

The fire was believed to have

been electrical and began in the Hellicars before spreading quickly through to the neighbour’s house.

Warburton CFA captain Hazel Crozier, described the fire as the “most significant structure fire our brigade has seen in over a decade.”

“As we arrived, the house was fully involved, it was obviously a very intense fire and spread rapidly throughout that building and then impacted into the next door neighbour’s house,” she said.

“You could see the glow as we were driving there ... a huge glow across the sky,” For the Hellicars, the only warning they had was the blaring sound of the smoke alarm and the yells from Nina’s partner Ben who was awake at the time.

Wine lovers have their fill

By Kath Gannaway Family-owned smaller wineries of the Yarra Valley opened their sheds, barrel rooms and cellar doors on the weekend welcoming locals and visitors to enjoy the wine, food, music on offer as part of the 16th Yarra Valley Shedfest Festival.

Perfect weather enticed wine lovers, families and social groups into the valley to meet the winemakers, enjoy fabulous

local produce, music and games, and take in stunning views across the valley.

Originally, a showcase event for the Warburton Highway wineries, Shedfest this year spread its wings to wineries along the Maroondah Highway and in between, providing an opportunity for longtime Shedfest visitors to discover even more of the valley’s charming wineries and vineyards.

Proceeds from the weekend will add to the more than $30,000 raised to date for local community groups.

The event is hosted by Smaller Wineries Yarra Valley that are now looking forward to their annual celebration of the Winter Solstice with the Shortest Lunch Wine Festival on 24 and 25 June.

Blacksmiths from as far away as New South Wales were among the 14 craftsmen manning the forges at the 13th Yarra Valley Blacksmiths Expo at Mont De Lancey Historic Homestead in Wandin on the weekend.

More than 400 people attended the event which organiser, Oskar Huecherig said was getting bigger each year.

The forge at Mont De Lancey is a drawcard at any time, but during the annual expo it’s the centre of attention with 14 blacksmiths working on hot metal using tools to hammer, bend and cut as they produce sculptures, tools, agricultural implements, decorative items, and cooking utensils in true pioneering fashion.

Families enjoyed the free fun day which included medieval re-enactments, an art exhibition and painting workshops, stalls, wood turning demonstrations and the opportunity to picnic in the magnificent grounds around the homestead.

Events coming up at Mont De Lancey are the annual Wandin Yallock Primary School Art Exhibition from 18 October to 1 November and the iconic Wandin Draught Horse and Old Time Festival on the weekend of 25 and 26 November.

Big cake bake helps out charity

By Kath Gannaway Hoddles Creek Red Cross members are old hands at their own style of ‘Big Cake Bake’ doing regular bake-ups for their monthly stall.

The group holds a stall on the first Saturday of each month in the Launch Fresh car park at Launching Place to support Red Cross projects, and the home-made cakes are always a big seller.

Proceeds from Saturday’s stall will go to the Red Cross ‘Big Cake Bake’ fund-raiser which is running throughout October and encouraging Australians everywhere to bake for a good cause.

In its sixth year, Big Cake Bake ambassador Rowie Dillon is encouraging bakers to embrace, in particular, gluten-free baking as they join thousands of others in bake-offs and afternoon teas around the nation.

“Having friends who are gluten or dairy free isn’t a hassle anymore as you can make something absolutely delicious with a little know-how and experimenting. That means more people can bake, and be spoiled with some treats, all for a good cause,” Ms Dillon said.

Registrations are now open to take part in Big Cake Bake which culminates in a national celebration on Friday 27 October. Events can be held anytime throughout October.

An extensive recipe collection is available online (bigbakecake.org.au) to inspire an expected 12,000 people who will don their aprons, and get together with friends, family and colleagues, to bake and raise funds for Australian Red Cross and its vital everyday work.

Register at bigcakebake.org.au for tips and support to help you plan a bake-off or afternoon tea for the Red Cross.

Ruth Aldridge and Jim Brown rehearse their roles as Queen Tush and King Splosh in The Glugs of Gosh. 172551 Picture: ROB CAREW

Parody stands centur y test of its timelessness Political machinations, politicians kowtowing to public opinion, lobbyists, corporate greed, right and left wing extremists, stupid policies ... politics today ay!

Actually, it’s a scenario that is timeless - at least 100 years old if C. J. Dennis’ ‘The Glugs of Gosh’ is an indication.

The famous Toolangi poet regarded the “The Glugs of Gosh” as among the best works he ever wrote when it was published in 1917 ... and many lovers of Australian poetry agree with him, according to C. J. Dennis Society secretary and poet Jim Brown.

Members of the C.J. Dennis Society will celebrate the centenary of ‘The Glugs of Gosh’ as part of the C. J. Dennis Poetry Festival with a special performance on Saturday night, 21 Octo-

ber at Dennis’ former home, the scenic “Singing Gardens” at Toolangi.

Dennis had written “The Sentimental Bloke” and “The Moods of Ginger Mick” before writing “The Glugs of Gosh”.

Mr Brown, who will play King Splosh in the festival performance, believes The Glugs of Gosh is probably the most insightful parody of modern politics and just as relevant today as it was a hundred years ago.

“The dynamics of politicians blown back and forth by public opinion, lobbyists, corporate greed, right and left wing extremists, and stupid policies can be clearly recognised, and really, nothing has changed,” he said.

The Glugs of Gosh performance is just one of many events taking place at the Singing Gardens over the weekend of 20 and 21 October, including an awards presentation to winners of various national poetry competitions and perfor-

mances by some great Australian poets.

In conjunction with the festival, the Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre is screening two versions of The Sentimental Bloke - Raymond Longford’s 1919 silent film and Frank Thring’s pioneering 1932 “talkie” with a script by Dennis himself.

Mr Brown said the society was grateful for the support of the public, and sponsorship of Yarra Ranges Community Bank Branches of Bendigo Bank.

“By supporting this, C.J. Dennis Festival, the Bendigo community branches have again demonstrated they are proud to support local volunteer organisations and worthwhile events that make where we live a better place,” he said.

Briefly Cop station on the way Warburton police may be geographically challenged with the temporary move to Yarra Junction as they await a new police station, but their focus remains on their Warburton and district community.

Leading Senior Constable Tony Pagels said the Warburton crew are doing their best to maintain a high level of police presence and contact within their response zone.

“The best way for anyone who needs us is still a call to triple-zero,” he said.

The Warburton phone number has been redirected to Yarra Junction police station, or a messaging service if the station is unattended.

By Effie Caloutas Yarra Valley FM is holding a fund-raising trivia night on Saturday 14 October from 7pm at Mt Evelyn RSL. There will be silent auctions, games, entertainment, prizes and giveaways with all proceeds going to the station.

The night will be held by two of Yarra Valley’s presenters, Neil Bull and Robert Jordan.

Ex-committee member Robert Jordan, who does two shows a week on the radio station, says that it’s important to raise as much as they can.

“We are hoping to raise $2000 on the night,” he said.

“If we don’t raise much, we end up using old microphones and chairs that are worn out.”

Community Connection Coordinator Greg Carrick said it should be an entertaining night for all guests.

“It will be a fun time for all involved,” he said.

“It will be a great time for people to put the presenters’ voices to the faces,” he said.

With prizes donated by business in the Yarra Valley, Mr Carrick said he hoped the station could get much-needed funds for the general costs of the station.

More join fire overlay plan

By Peter Douglas A further 18,000 properties in the Yarra Ranges are now included in an expanded Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO), with updated mapping coming into effect on Tuesday 3 October.

Eight years in the making, the Victorian Government has unveiled the finalised mapping of the BMO, which now includes many areas traditionally considered more suburban in the shire, such as Healesville, Belgrave and Upwey-Tecoma.

An estimated 40,000 properties shire-wide are now included in the BMO, which will mean new developments or buildings will need to meet higher specifications.

The BMO is a planning control applied to land with the potential to be affected by bushfire.

The expanded BMO does not require any changes to be made to existing homes, though home owners are still being encouraged to take steps to make their property safer.

Yarra Ranges Council is now in the process of informing ratepayers through a combination of direct mail, advertising and digital communications.

Strategic Planning Project Manager, Claudette Fahy, told the ‘Mail’ the BMO would help to create more fire-resistant communities.

“The good news side is that ultimately it makes our communities more fire resistant and more resilient because - bottom line - you have to build to a higher standard,” Ms Fahy said.

“But that only affects new buildings, so there is no need to retrofit existing buildings to make them more fire resilient.

“So if your property just came into the BMO - and you’re not planning to build anything - you’ve just got another planning control attached to the property.”

Ms Faye said the BMO formed part of an important response to the Black Saturday bushfires, with the BMO a result of recommendations from the 2009 Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission.

“The Royal Commission was very concerned with people not becoming complacent about bushfires because when it happens we’re all on top of it, but now we’re here eight years down the track,” she said.

“The CFA is always banging on about being

prepared and they’re right.”

Director of Social and Economic Development, Ali Wastie, said the BMO was introduced to the planning scheme to make new or extended homes safer and more bushfire resilient.

“If the BMO applies, a planning permit will be required to subdivide the land, build a new house or significantly extend an existing house,” Ms Wastie said.

“Other types of buildings may also need a planning permit.”

The new mapping has been developed in partnership with the CFA and CSIO. The BMO identifies areas subject to high fire risk and requires planning permission for building and works associated with: *Dwellings (house, apartment, mobile home, houseboat or substantial structure); *Dependent person’s unit (granny flat or moveable buildings); *Education centre (kindergarten, preschool, school or training centre); *Leisure or recreation; *Retail or other uses.

Landowners can check if land is covered by the BMO using the Victorian Government’s ‘Planning Maps online tool’.

Suburbs affected by changes to the BMO mapping in Yarra Ranges: Badger Creek, Belgrave, Belgrave South, Coldstream, Dixon Creek, Don Valley, Gladysdale, Gruyere, Healesville, Hoddles Creek, Kallista, Kilsyth, Launching Place, Lilydale, Lysterfield, Macclesfield, Menzies Creek, Millgrove, Monbulk, Montrose, Mooroolbark, Mount Evelyn, Narre Warren East, Olinda, Selby, Seville, Seville East, Silvan, Steels Creek, Tarrawarra, Tecoma, The Patch, Upper Ferntree Gully, Upwey, Wandin East, Wandin North, Wesburn, Woori Yallock, Yarra Glen, Yarra Junction, Yellingbo and Yering.

In conjunction to the expanded overlay, two schedules have been introduced in some areas to help streamline applications for single dwellings or extensions.

For further information on the BMO, visit www.planning.vic.gov.au/bmo.

The very best of care

Letters Sergeant’s salute

By Effie Caloutas

I come from a long line of battlers - back to the first Sergeant at Arms in 1192, chosen to restore order in King James the Second’s court.

SINCE then they have continued worldwide in parliaments (even ours), congresses and royal courts.

We are devoted generally to helping out - not destroying our Mother Earth.

Instead, if we work with nature to farm and manufacture bamboo socks and pillows, and affordable houses, we could help save civilisation.

Hopefully, commonsense will prevail.

So, we need seniors and retirees devoted to kids and future generations to get politically involved - regardless of politics.

J.A. Sargeant, Healesville.

Chum Creek Child Care educator Lorraine ’Jane’ Thomas was announced as the regional winner in the 2017 Excellence in Family Day Care on 29 August.

Registered with Murrindindi FDC, Jane is one of over 21,000 family day care educators playing a vital role in the lives of 120,680 families around the country.

Ms Thomas says that there are huge benefits to Family Day Care.

“Family Day Care allows for lots of one-onone time with children and provides a more family orientated atmosphere,” she said.

“Family care provides a more peaceful surrounding and the ability to be able to adjust the

program to the needs of the children.”

Ms Thomas says that winning the award hopefully shows the local community how Family Day care can be a great benefit to families across the country.

“Winning the award hopefully shows the local community how Family Day Care can be such a benefit,” she said.

“How the providers have a very high standard and on a more personal note, it is so good to have the families of the children I care for, happy with the service I provide.”

Family Day Care Australia’s Excellence in Family Day Care Awards acknowledges incredible work done by family day care educators since 2011.

Pages from the past Yarra Valley Guardian Mail 12 October, 1995 Healesville and District Hospital becomes the Yarra Ranges Health Service On Monday 9 October the Healesville and District Hospital took on the new title of the Yarra Ranges Health Service.

The new name is a better reflection of the changing nature of the care offered at Healesville Hospital, but in no way reduces the services available to the community.

Obituary Well-known Warburton identity Ralph Wardley passed away at his daughter’s East Warburton home on Thursday 5 October at the age of 92.

Motorbikes will be the focus of police attention on the roads during October with Operation Motosafe.

Motorbikes to the fore vulnerable road users, it was up to everyone on the roads to take care. “There’s no doubt that with the warmer weather upon us and with the Grand Prix coming up we do see an increase in the number of riders coming through our area,� Insp Westfield said. “We all need to look after each other, no matter what mode of transport you’re in, stay within the speed limit and take regular breaks on long journeys.�

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol, Acting Sergeant David McIlfatrick shared Insp Westfields views and urged riders to take care if they have taken a break from riding over winter, as their skills might have diminished in that time. “Now that the weather is getting better, more riders are getting to the hills ... some haven’t ridden for a while and it does take some time getting used to the bike again,� Sgt McIlfatrick said. “Motorbike collisions are down on the past few years, so we like to keep it that way.�

Police in the Yarra Valley are putting motorcycle safety at the forefront of their minds for spring, which is traditionally when fair weather riders return after an extended break over winter.

Operation Motosafe focuses on reducing injuries and fatal collisions and pays particular attention to the increased number of motorcycle riders during the spring months.

In an effort to reduce unsafe driving practices by all motorists, the operation will also see an increased police presence throughout October and coincide with the motorcycle Grand Prix on Sunday 22 October.

Over the past five years during the month of October, the eastern region of Victoria has sadly seen 47 people killed on their roads.

Of these 47 lives, 21 per cent were riders.

Eastern Region Road Policing Inspector Stewart Westfield said even though motorcyclists were

A mental challenge

By Kath Gannaway Yarra Ranges Shire has the second highest rate of high or very high levels of psychological distress - 20 per cent of residents - in metropolitan Melbourne.

In an alarming disconnect however, the shire also has the lowest level of mental health services in the Eastern Metropolitan Region.

Yarra Ranges Council CEO, Glenn Patterson, said the mental health and well-being of all Yarra Ranges residents, visitors and employees was a key factor in council’s decisions and programs.

The Department of Health estimates that annual productivity losses attributable to mental illness range from $10-15 billion.

Ahead of Mental Health Week - 8 to 14 October - people working within the council spoke out about how good mental health impacted their work with the community.

Inspiro counsellor, Saba Balasooriya, said good mental health was about being emotionally, socially and psychologically well to function with day-to-day activities.

“It means having the supports, strategies and self-care to get through the tougher days and to celebrate the positives ones,” she said.

Inspiro runs youth and family counselling for young people aged 12-25 in Lilydale, Tecoma, Healesville and Yarra Junction on behalf of council.

“We often help young people talk through struggles they may face in their life by assisting them with problem solving, decision making, identifying strategies and building resilience, which all contribute to good mental health,” Ms Balasooriya said.

Yarra Ranges’ human resources business partner, Kelly Ward.

Yarra Ranges’ human resources business partner, Kelly Ward, said council’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Policy made a commitment to enhancing and supporting positive mental health and well-being for all employees, councillors, volunteers, contractors and visitors.

“I encourage all employees who are not feeling right and have concerns about their own mental health to speak with our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider or their GP,” Ms Ward said.

“Mentally healthy workplaces are more productive, and workplace policies should promote and support positive mental health.”

For Yarra Ranges Council’s Museum Program Director, Patrick Watt, good mental health is about freedom.

He said people could often be “trapped” by mental illness in their day-to-day lives.

“Good mental health is freedom - freedom to do anything, go anywhere and enjoy life,” he said.

“Bad mental health is the dog at your heel, the chip on your shoulder and the dark cloud hanging overhead.”

He said visiting venues such as the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum in Lilydale and learning more about

art and history could help to foster a positive mindset.

“Exhibitions can offer us entry points into amazing creativity and research, and that can often inspire, ignite and provoke,” he said.

“If you are enjoying an exhibition in a gallery, you must be out and about - and that has to be good.”

Mr Patterson said the council had made mental health a priority through council’s Mental Health and Well-being Policy, the Health and Well-being Strategy for the municipality and by partnering with organisations such as Inspiro to ensure our residents could access services close to home.

“We want the Yarra Ranges to be a vibrant place for people to live, work and visit. If we can support our residents and employees to have good mental health and well-being, that goes a long way to making that happen,” he said.

“Whether it’s Mental Health Week or any other day of the year, it’s important to be aware of how you’re feeling and to reach out to friends, family or co-workers if things aren’t all right.”

The Yarra River at Big Peninsula Tunnel out of Warburton.

Tales of the river Yarra Ranges residents’ stories about the Yarra River could inform Melbourne Water’s management of the iconic waterway for years to come.

Melbourne Water is engaging with residents to develop a shared community vision for the Yarra River, following the Yarra River Protection (Willip-gin Birrarung murron) Bill passing parliament in September.

Their consultation asks residents to share their stories about the Yarra River and will inform the Yarra Strategic Plan, which sets a vision for the river and its surrounds for the next 50 years.

Representatives will be gathering stories at a pop-up information stand at the Wandin Silvan Field Days event on Friday 13 October and at a number of Yarra Stories community forums.

The first forum will be held at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre in Warburton on Saturday, 14 October and in Healesville at the Healesville Scout Hall on Sunday, 15 October, both from 11am to 4pm.

Stories will also be gathered from 15 to 22 October at the Healesville Library’s History Week events.

O’Shannassy Ward Councillor, Jim Child, encouraged residents to share their stories about the Yarra and to give their feedback to Melbourne Water in person or online.

“Your thoughts, stories and feedback will help to form Melbourne Water’s vision for the Yarra River for decades to come,” Cr Child said.

“The Yarra River is an integral part of the valley and towns like Warburton. It’s important that residents who live with this incredible piece of nature get to have their say.”

Melbourne Water’s second round of engagement will follow in the New Year.

Rare dementia hits librarian

By Kath Gannaway “All dementias end up in the same place.”

There is no cure, there is very little known about the causes, and there is nowhere near enough money being put into research to find the answers, according to Healesville resident Terry Barnett.

Terry’s wife Wendy was 57 when she was diagnosed with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a rarer form of dementia, seven years ago.

PCA is an unusual variant of Alzheimer’s disease, starting at the back of the brain where the posterior cortical lobes which process visual function are located.

“The eyes are healthy and see normally, but the brain doesn’t process what the eyes see,” Terry explained.

“The first things you lose are spatial awareness and judgement, and very early on you lose reading and writing function.”

As the disease progresses, it affects other areas of the brain including memory, the symptom most commonly associated with Alzheimers.

“In some ways, this (PCA) is worse because you lose your physical abilities early on; you may go to sit down and miss the chair, pick up a cup and tip it, you can’t pick up a knife and fork, but you retain a greater level of awareness that gives you insight into what the disease is about.

“You know what’s happening in the early stages and that can be an advan-

tage, but it can also be a disadvantage because you are aware of what’s happening.

“That (awareness) can lead to depression, and we’re lucky that Wendy has not experienced that,” Terry said.

The loss of reading and writing function is significant for Wendy who worked as a senior librarian, running libraries at schools in Wangaratta and at Mercy College in Lilydale until the couple took early retirement in 2011 as part of their life plan to make the most of the years ahead.

Wendy’s situation highlights the indiscriminate nature of dementia and the need for research in to what causes dementia diseases, and to find a cure.

With an ageing population, more and more people are diagnosed with Alzheimers and other forms of dementia, but it is not an ‘old person’s disease’, and while a lot is said about lifestyle and keeping your brain active, there are no guarantees.

Wendy led a very healthy life, was highly intelligent, worked her brain all her life.

There is a touching admiration in Terry’s voice when he says she was near the top of her year in New South Wales when she did her VCE and highly regarded for her work as senior librarian.

“She did a lot of alpine walking, ate healthily, kept her brain active; it didn’t stop her getting it,” he says.

Wendy is in the end stage of the disease and for the past year has been in

care in Healesville.

During Dementia Awareness Month in September, Alzheimers Victoria’s focus was on elevating awareness of dementia and the impact it has on people living with the disease, and on their carers and families.

The Barnett family’s experience, sadly, is not unusual.

Wendy and Terry have three adult children with partners and four grandchildren with another on the way.

Life as they planned it has been turned on its head.

Wendy was diagnosed in the same year they took early retirement. Terry closed the wine consultancy he had established after their move to the Yarra Valley - something to keep his lifelong involvement in the wine industry alive as they enjoyed their new-found retirement freedom - and cared for Wendy at home for the first six years.

Their eldest daughter moved from Canberra to be close, and their other daughter donated $6000 to PCA research from donations in lieu of wedding gifts.

Apart from all the changes and unfulfilled dreams, nothing can describe the heart-ache of seeing their wife, mum and nanna living with the disease, and dying from it.

The Barnetts have made the most of their time by travelling to Europe in the winter up until two years ago and travelling locally as Wendy’s condition worsened.

Raising awareness of PCA, which often goes undiagnosed, and cam-

Wendy and Terry Barnett - living with PCA and calling for funding for Picture: WENDY WILLIAMSON Alzheimers research. 173700 paigning for increased funding for research is the only way forward, according to Terry who says Alzheimers is where cancer was 30 years ago.

“When I was young, if you heard of someone with cancer, there was no hope; now at least we have hope, and in many cases people can recover,” he said.

“Alzheimers is still a disease of no hope and no development in terms of

a cure.

“You see a lot of things in the media, but we’re at least 10 years away of having any chance (of a cure).

“Any drugs we have only treat the symptoms, they don’t cure it, nor do they prevent it, nor do anything for the cause of the disease.

“And, look out, on the week-

end we’re pulling out all the stops,” Ms Bray said.

“We’ll have a live kids show called Woody’s World featuring puppets, singing, friends and stories for a highly interactive morning for parents, grandparents and kids not to be missed.

“There’ll also be face painting, balloon art, live music, and my staff are all excited because they get to dress up as Alice in Wonderland characters.

Baked fresh using the finest ingredients and traditional recipes, Beechworth Bakery’s huge range of hand-made products proudly retain their old world charm.

“We like to keep it real and simple!” Ms Bray said.

“We pride ourselves on making all our products in the traditional way - by hand, with dedication and love.

The 2017 Wandin-Silvan Field Days will again provide an opportunity for exhibitors to present a diverse range of horticultural, agricultural and lifestyle products and services, as well as information and demonstrations, directly to patrons.

There’s something for everyone at the Wandin-Silvan Field Days!

Better than ever in the field Under the keen guidance of President William Anker, the organising committee of the Wandin-Silvan Field Days is busily planning and preparing this year’s event in anticipation of building upon the successes of the past.

Now in its 48th year, the committee is looking forward to welcoming exhibitors and visitors from across the country to this significant local community event.

The Wandin-Silvan Field Days continues as a not-for-profit organisation, operated and run by a committee of local volunteers, some of whom have a history dating back to the first event. The field days foster community

involvement, with local schools and community groups providing catering and other services as their major fundraising opportunity.

The 2017 Wandin-Silvan Field Days will again provide an opportunity for exhibitors to present a diverse range of horticultural, agricultural and lifestyle products and services, as well as information and demonstrations, directly to patrons.

Highlights of this year’s event will include an educational and informative interactive display and talks from Black Snake Productions, a pet show run by students from Mount Lilydale Mercy College, the popular ‘gen-

eral interest’ marquee section, which features local regional products and demonstrations of cottage industries, as well as the Yarra Valley Machinery Preservation Society who will give a working presentation and display of machinery of yesteryear.

Great cash prizes totalling $750 will also be up for grabs, having been provided by the Wandin Seville Community Bank for the fifth annual photographic competition.

Additionally, Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority (in collaboration with Melbourne Water), Ribbons of Green (Yarra Ranges Council), Agribusiness

Yarra Valley, Yarra Ranges Landcare Network and Queensland Fruit Fly Awareness will also be working together in a collaborative effort to combine for a display that addresses land management concepts.

“Our committee understands the importance of farming in Victoria, and in particular that of the greater Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, and we are very proud to maintain the tradition of being able to present this major regional event,” William said.

The committee actively encourages the participation of relevant exhibitors who are able to support the WandinSilvan Field Days theme. From general

farm machinery, light industrial equipment, motor vehicles and motorbikes through to irrigation equipment, water tanks, pest and weed control, fertilisers, chemicals, and fruit packaging and labelling ... right through to gumboots and secateurs’, there’s something for everyone at the Wandin-Silvan Field Days.

Wandin-Silvan Horticultural and Farm Machinery Field Days will run from Friday 13 October 8.30am to 5pm and Saturday 14 October 8.30am to 4pm at the Wandin East Reserve (corner of Monbulk-Seville and Parker Roads, Wandin East). Entry is $15 (Under 15 free). For more information, visit www.

Power and the safety supreme

Safer Quads will appear at the Wandin Silvan Field Days with their exciting Mini Quad Truck (MQT).

1900mm X 1400mm tray which has drop-down sides for easier loading along with a brush bar to protect the front of the vehicle along with a tow bar at the rear,” Mr Cook said.

“Mechanically, the MQT is

equipped with 2WD, 4WD, rear difflock, hi/lo ratio and its easily accessible engine compartment makes servicing a breeze.

“If you’re concerned about workplace safety for your employees or

family or just looking for a reliable farm workhorse that is safer, more comfortable and more economical than traditional ATV/ RTVs that provides you with greater work flexibility, then this little “go anywhere vehicle”

is worth consideration.”

Wandin Silvan Field Days will take place on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 October at the Wandin East Recreation Reserve. Safer Quads will be located on site F8.

12367369-ACM41-17

Having launched a new all-terrain vehicle (ATV) into the Australian market, Safer Quads will appear at the Wandin Silvan Field Days with their exciting Mini Quad Truck (MQT).

Importer and distributor Colin Cook said the business ‘Safer Quads’, who pride themselves on safety, have brought these vehicles to Australia following the vehicle’s safety record overseas.

“Our vision is to offer Australian primary producers a safer alternative to what’s currently on offer,” Mr Cook said. “(We’ve had) over 20 years of success in New Zealand and 4000 sales - zero fatalities and zero injuries have been recorded.

“This Japanese manufactured vehicle is modified in New Zealand for farming conditions and is approved by VicRoads for conditional registration.”

As Colin explained, the Mini Quad Truck’s three benefits include safety, comfort and economy.

“The safety features include a fully enclosed cab, airbag, seatbelts, laminated safety glass windscreen, wide track and long wheelbase,” Mr Cook said.

In regards to comfort, Mr. Cook said that the driver and passenger are protected from the elements with the integrated cab which features both heating and air-conditioning; making the vehicle safer and more comfortable to drive without the hassle of wearing a mandatory helmet.

“Functionality - the MQT is built to work with a 500kg payload on the

The destination for new and used trucks, and for all of your parts and service needs.

What makes something precious?

When does something become precious for not so obvious reasons?

These are the questions that Healesville artist Ali Griffin and goldsmith Tim Peel are asking in their collaborative exhibition featuring at The Memo in Healesville.

In a society where money is more important than ever, the aptly titled exhibition ‘Precious’ focuses on discovering what makes an item special to its owner.

“It’s the whole conversation about what’s precious and what’s important to you ... we want people to think about what they find precious,” Ali said.

“We’re looking to really start a conversation, engage people to think about what is precious to them,” Tim said.

The collaboration between the two Healesville artists has seen two different esoteric concepts come together, and despite their differences in background, the two complement each other wonderfully.

Connection to memory and the values placed upon seemingly valueless objects are the concepts informing Healesville Ali Griffin’s work.

In juxtaposition this concept is

challenged by collaborating with Tim, a goldsmith who usually works with priceless materials.

Though priceless materials often take on a sentimentality of their own and they are often attached to a signifcant memory, which Tim has explored in his work.

“The objects that we place memories in can be utterly valueless but they hold memories and valuable memories to that individual, and so they became extremely valuable and more than that, they become irreplaceable,” Tim said.

This too also complements Ali’s work who has utilised charcoal in her jewellery along with melted bottles, from the Black Saturday

fires in which she lost her home.

Through the palette of black, charcoal, and gold leaf laced sparingly though it, Ali explores the potential of the “stuff” around us, of loss, of renewal, of what is truly precious.

“It’s a collaboration of ideas, that these things suddenly became precious to me, melted bottles ... there wasn’t anything precious about them before, but once they were melted they took on a different meaning and connection to me,” Ali said.

Precious will be held at The Memo in Healesville until 21 November with the opening taking place on 13 September at 6pm.

Blade is still sharper than ever even after all these long decades

Thu 12 Oct - Wed 18 Oct

The Memo, Healesville

Tim Peel and Ali Griffin have collaborated on an exhibition that discusses and explores what people consider to be precious to them.

Thirty years after the events of the original Blade Runner, replicants - a race of bioengineered slaves - are still banned on Earth, and Agent K (Ryan Gosling) works as a blade runner, which involves tracking and killing rogue replicants. K’s latest case of a missing person may hold dire ramifications for human society.

Directed by the extraordinary Denis Villeneuve (of Sicario and Arrival), Blade Runner 2049 is the best kind of sequel, in that it tells its own story by building upon the original film’s plot, rather than retreading or contradicting the past.

The plot is clear and streamlined, yet suffused with character depth and intriguing

themes. While the primary conflict concerns a heated search for an individual who could up-end the entire world order, the profoundly moving narrative is driven by introspection, as several characters explore their own identities and their sense of humanity.

2049 may have one of the best-handled twists in cinema history. The film establishes a status quo very early on, then steadily challenges and subverts it, with every mind-blowing revelation feeling rational and spaced out well so that we can find our bearings.

Not only does Blade Runner 2049 transcend the original, with a more compelling protagonist, richer themes and a narrative with stronger forward momentum, but it may be the best film of the year so far.

Cricket off in style

By Chris Anderson With the winter months tucked away for another year, improving weather around the Valley ensured the grounds had recovered adequately from a hectic football season, and with sunny skies greeting our eager cricketers, Round 1 action began in style last weekend.

This season sees a different structure of the Yarra Valley Cricket Association’s top two grades.

Six teams - Warburton-Millgrove, Mount Evelyn, Yarra Junction, Healesville, Seville and Yarra Glen - will battle it out for the competition’s premier title, the DJ Strachan Shield, while Woori Yallock, Coldstream, Gruyere, Hoddles Creek, Wandin and Launching Place will vie for the RA Finger Trophy.

The biggest difference in the structure is that the two competitions will essentially share the same fixture with the team crossing over for six one-day games across the 16-game season.

Round 1 saw the first of these cross over rounds occur in perfect playing conditions; and despite the games pitting the teams in the top bracket, against those a tier down, not all results went as expected.

The team which probably relished the opportunity to put their skills against the competition’s best was Wandin after a trying year in RA Finger trophy last season, raced out of the blocks with an impressive victory against Healesville.

After being asked to bat, Wandin shook off a nervous start, losing an early wicket, and assumed an early ascendancy in their batting courtesy of 123-run, second wicket partnership between Ricky Painter (50) and James Freeman (81).

Freeman assumed the role of aggressor, and with an innings littered with 15 boundaries; he contributed 81 impressive runs to the partnership, setting a cracking pace for the Bulldogs.

His wicket fell approaching the drinks break, and an opportunity loomed for the Bloods; however, the steady hand of Painter ensured Tim Thorne (30) could assuredly assume his place in another impressive partnership.

The work the top three had contributed allowed the remaining Bulldog batsmen to flourish in the pursuit of late innings runs, and they managed to push the score to an impressive 6/229 after their allotted 40 overs.

The Bloods have their work cut out for them in the chase; and, unfortunately for them, their scorecard had that familiar early season rust about it.

Plenty of promising starts, but nothing substantial.

Although not ripping through Healesville line-up, Wandin ensured regular wickets had the Bloods consistently behind the eight ball.

Jamie Elliott (4/31) was the pick of the Wandin bowlers in an impressive group effort.

In the end, the Bloods succumbed to the large chase, and regular wickets, to be bowled out for 133, handing the Bulldogs an important 96-run victory.

Coldstream proved to be the other big winners of the round, being the second RA Finger Trophy team to trump their more fancied opponent.

The Crocs won a classic low-scoring encounter at ‘The Swamp’ against Seville.

The home team batted first, and as is the case at Coldstream, especially early in the season, the batsmen found run scoring hard work.

Seville possess a hard-working and consistent bowling line up, and led by their captain Matt Hadlum (3/35), and with useful contributions from Mark Prcotor (4/20) and Mark Sandfort (2/26), the visitors were able to restrict the Crocs to 106.

Crocs captain Dean Oliffe (32) did his best to keep things on track at the top of the order, while exciting youngster Daniel Whelan (32*) ensured their was a little bit of beef added late in the innings.

As much as the Crocs found it difficult to score in their innings, Seville also had their difficulties.

Jake McIness (30) worked manfully at the top of the order for the Blues; however a disciplined, and experienced spell of bowling from Leam Doughty (5/18) kept things in check for Crocs as Seville just couldn’t establish the match-winning partnership.

The longer the innings travelled, the more it became clear that the game was set for an enthralling finish.

Cameron Laycock (3/37) and Daniel Whelan (2/10) ensured Doughty’s spell of bowling wouldn’t go to waste, and with Seville just two runs short of matching Coldstream’s total, the home side eeked out the final wicket to record a memorable victory.

The remaining games in the round fell in favour of the Strachan Shield teams, not that any of the Finger Trophy teams were disgraced, and from these games the lower ranked sides will gain valuable learning experiences into how to bridge the gap.

Warburton-Millgrove ensured their title defence would start on a positive note with a clinical victory over Woori Yallock at Warburton.

The Burras batted first and showed that they will be again a tough proposition for opposition to bowl to its a lengthy batting line-up.

Although it wasn’t a stellar performance with the bat, with no player reaching a half century, but consistent partnerships, and contributions from Ben Lever (43), Tim McKail (40), Liam Barnard (37) and Sean Humphrey (32), ensured a gritty total of 9/189 on the board would be tough to choose for the Tigers.

Despite their move back to Finger Trophy, Jackson Wright (3/30) is still amongst the competition’s best bowlers, and if others can chime in, they may my trouble quite a few teams.

Woori Yallock made a gritty account for the season in response to the large total, but they never managed the scoring rate that would seriously challenge the total.

By the time Stephen Morgan (44*) added some lusty blows to the equation late in the piece, the game had been done and dusted for some time.

Slow bowling has been a key to success in recent seasons, and experienced duo Daniel Lever (3/18) and Adam Humphrey (2/12) turned the screws on the Tiger’s and suffocated them into submission.

With full credit for batting out their overs, the visitors still found them-

selves 69 runs short of their opposition’s total hen trumps were drawn.

The other champions out to defend their title this season are the 2016-‘17 RA Finger Trophy premiers, Gruyere.

Their season kicked off with an intriguing match-up against Yarra Glen.

Yarra Glen took the leap of faith last season to test themselves against the competition’s best; and despite struggling to record victories, they certainly proved that they weren’t out of their depth in the big league.

So this game would point to an early indication of just how big the gap is between the two competitions.

Batting first, it was the Glen’s experienced top order of David Brambilla (54), John O’Donnell (47) and Andy Cowan (30) that ensured that the home team would reach a respectable 5/168 when their allotted overs ended.

Gruyere gave themselves every chance of chasing the total down, but regular wickets, and a required run rate increasing steadily, they couldn’t keep up with the pace, and found themselves 33 runs in arrears when the end came.

Mount Evelyn also began their season in style with a comprehensive victory at Hoddles Creek.

The Rovers didn’t hesitate in batting first, and made the most of friendly conditions.

The opening pairing of Jesse Fraser (70) and Daniel Giblin (82) elevated the visitors from the word go as a 147run opening partnership kicked their season off in style.

Although neither of the pair posted a century, the damage had been done, and Gareth Fraser (48*) ensured the total would be healthy one guiding his team to 3/228.

Against a consistent attack, led by captain Kane Jones (5/16), the Wombats were never really in the hunt, despite some brazen stroke play from Will Trotter (36).

In the end, Hoddles Creek were outclassed to the tune of 121 runs.

In the final game of the round, Yarra Junction were too strong for Launching Place.

Launch batted first, and found the

going tough against the new ball pairing of Nick Bark (3/24) and Jesse Cook (2/15).

Launch stalwart Stuart Parker made sure his team weren’t to be disgraced with the bat, and his fighting half century at least gave his team a total to defend, albeit a small one at 110.

Inadequate it proved to be as the Eagles cruised to the total with the loss of only one wicket.

Andy Taylor was the pick of the batsmen with and impressive early season half century.

Motoring Buick speedster on show

By Kath Gannaway

Car with a past ... and a future - Rob Holland's beautifully restored 1928 Holden Buick on show at Motorclassica. told me the car was marked as never to be registered again.

“It had a reputation, nicknamed ‘the moonlight speedster’ because the guy used to do a run every time there was a full moon.

“If the cops chased him, he would turn off the lights and because of the jet black paint job, they couldn’t see him.”

The car’s clandestine career was no secret in the industry, and Rob said that in 1932 Chevrolet in Australia brought out a ‘commemorative’ car called the Moonlight Speedster.

“It was produced in low numbers, and I think they got into a bit of trouble for their efforts,” he said.

Not surprisingly, as police were still

being dogged by the original which operated all through the alcohol wars until 1964.

When police eventually got hold of the car, they bulldozed it into a local creek, and as Rob says, put ****loads of dirt on it.

“It was less than a foot high when I bought it as part of a $200 deal, and it came home in a 6x4 trailer in pieces,” he said.

Rebuilding the car was a 12-year commitment, and it was a family effort with sons Jarrah and Storm working with Rob on the car and wife Judy backing his passion through every latenight session in the back shed and with every signing of a cheque.

“At the end of the day, you can’t do

something like this without your family, they are the ones who give you the inspiration,” Rob said.

He said everything was rebuilt, reconditioned or remade.

“Ninety per cent of the car is original parts from when it raced in Brooklands, the rest of it is manufactured to original specifications.

The process was gruelling. Twelve months spent on the wheels alone, stripping down six wheels and making 64 spokes for each of them from scratch.

Parts had to be carved from wood to be recast as a one-off before being filed, polished and chromed.

Once he started, Rob says he had no

choice but to keep going.

“You can’t walk up Mount Everest, get halfway and turn around ... you’d be gutted for the rest of your life,” he said.

“I’m glad I did it, and it’s fantastic that this car is a survivor.”

The beautiful 1928 Buick Speedster is a tribute car in every respect - to Holden’s place in Australia’s car industry, to Rob and his family ... and even to its colourful, ratbag history.

Only in Australia!

Motorclassica is on at the Exhibition Buildings in Melbourne from 13 to 15 October.

When Rob Holland was told by an auctioneer that the car he wanted to buy was a two for one deal, or no deal, and that the other car had been buried in a creek, his response was “that should be fine”.

Turned out the car, crushed beyond recognition under tons of dirt and ravaged by years as part of a make-shift dam wall, was not just fine, it was the find of the century.

What he had was the remains of a unique 1928 Buick speedster with a rip-roaring story to tell.

Rob, a Healesville car collector and restorer spent 12 years from around 2000 rebuilding the brilliant red sixwheel equipped, boat-tail speedster classic which this week will go on show at Motorclassica - The Australian International Concours d’Elegance and Classic Motor Show -in Melbourne’s Royal Exhibition Buildings.

In its second appearance at Motorclassica, it will represent the 1920s era in a tribute showcase to five decades of Australian-made Holden cars.
