FIRE ACTION WEEK

7 - 14 October 2018 Stay informed

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to start planning for a long and hot summer ahead.

Low rainfall over winter has dried out much of the state and forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology of a dry and hot summer means that we need to prepare for an earlier and longer ire season.

Our dedicated emergency services are working with communities, businesses and local councils to reduce the risk for our state.

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe.

You can also ind out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Recent bushires – both here in Australia and overseas – remind us of the need to understand our own ire risk.

Planning and preparing for ire is a responsibility that belongs to everyone.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE READY THIS SUMMER. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now.

The reasons are black and white.

emergency.vic.gov.au Download the VicEmergency app mailcommunity.com.au

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days.

2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass.

3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home.

4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees.

5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres.

6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to).

7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Training for the fire front

By Derek Schlennstedt Upper Ferntree Gully CFA Captain Peter Smith knows the importance of training.

In 2009 while fighting a bushfire in Lysterfield, their truck was burnt out and they had to escape on foot. Without the years of experience and training it might have been a different story.

Nine years on and Upper Ferntree Gully CFA regularly train at Birdsland, and in preparation for the coming fire season have begun working with other CFA stations in cross-station-training days.

"Two weeks after black Saturday, we were down Abrahams track with Scoresby," Captain Smith said.

"The wind changed direction three times in 15 minutes and the flame height went from one metre to seven metres in about half a minute."

"We all got out unscathed but it's all from what we do here from the training and it was no different ... that's why we do all this training and take it so seriously."

Seven fire trucks from Upper Ferntree Gully, Belgrave, Boronia and Upwey took part in the training exercise on Saturday 7 October.

The combined training session saw CFA

volunteers from each station rotate and spend time with each different truck learning all the fine details.

"We go over the whole of the vehicle form the cabin right through," Capt Smith said.

"Include all the equipment and how it's used. The pumping and different ways of getting water into the truck."

"Every truck has its own niches and differences."

"It's very hard if you go away and get put on some strange truck."

In a serious bushfire, strike teams can be called upon to help fight fires in other parts of the state.

As a result a CFA station can lose a number of volunteers and also some of its trucks. Captain Smith said that this is a regular occurrence over summer and that by combining training with other CFA stations there are always people who can fill in.

"I can lose up to three trucks at a time or ten to nine guys to a strike team," he said.

"Through this training I can ring up Belgrave, Upwey or Boronia and ask for someone to help out and I know they've got people we've trained with, who can come in and help us out."

SUMMER SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY What we’re doing to reduce risk and improve network reliability AusNet Services is preparing for the summer season by completing an extensive maintenance and vegetation management program.

Working together to reduce risk – how you can help Predictions are for an early bushfire season this year. AusNet Services is conducting helicopter inspections to get a clear picture of how the landscape is looking, but we need your help.

If you have a private electric line, please ensure it is clear of vegetation to reduce bushfire risk. A registered electrician or certified tree clearer can help you clear your property of any unwanted vegetation.

During a bushfire you may experience interruptions to your electricity and/or gas supply, even if your property isn’t directly affected. For this reason your bushfire contingency plan should factor in possible loss of gas and electricity.

Now is the time to prepare for the summer ahead.

Seven fire trucks from Upper Ferntree Gully, Belgrave, Boronia and Upwey took part in the training exercise on Saturday 7 October.

They can save you in fire Wildfire Safety Bunkers Pty Ltd is committed to supplying and installing superior quality, fully engineered, government accredited, purpose-built bushfire bunkers.

Wildfire bunkers are rated to the highest current Australian Standard (BAL-FZ), Bushfire Attack Level - Flame Zone.

Each year in Australia, the weather seems to become more unpredictable, with higher than average winds and extreme temperatures.

Forecasts from the Climate Institute of Australia and the CSIRO predict that Australia will experience an increasing occurrence of wildfire events that threaten life and property.

The fire season will start earlier and last longer and will be more intense throughout the season’s length.

Residents who live in isolated areas of surrounding bushland are at high risk during the bushfire season and may wish to consider the installation of a bushfire shelter.

When situations change and the time to execute your evacuation plan has been cut short, a wildfire safety bunker could be a resident’s last option.

Anthony Tratt, owner and managing director of Wildfire Safety Bunkers, said it could be a smart option.

“We have been in the bushfire shelter business for many years now and our products have been welcomed by residents Australia wide,” he said.

“I believe the reasons our units have be-

A safety bunker could be a resident’s last option. 146331 come so popular is that they have been extensively tested and accredited by the government, they can be installed in a short amount of time, they can be landscaped into existing garden beds and embankments, and they are at an affordable price point.”

Safe gutters Unprotected and neglected gutters pose a risk to properties.

Stagnate water can lead to blocked and overflowing gutters and can cause soil waterlogging, thereby producing a risk of damage to the foundation of properties.

Clogged gutters may also become breeding and nesting spaces for flies, insects and birds.

Thankfully, CPR Gutter Protection can provide some peace of mind to homeowners and their families through the professional installation of high-quality gutter covers and mesh.

At CPR Gutter Protection, they are 100 percent committed to customer service. Their team of consultants and installers are fully trained and insured.

They install one of the most advanced gutter protection mesh systems in the market. A

maintenance-free system, it ensures protection from rodents and vermin, while increasing rainwater collection.

Manufactured and supplied in Australia, CPR's gutter guards won't burn or rust like galvanized steel. They have been independently tested by CSIRO and conform in accordance with W/AS3959-2009 for construction in bushfire prone areas, where ember proofing is a specific requirement. Their products, Ember Guard and Gutter Guard, have a BAL rating from 12.5 to 40 and are a must for regions of high fire danger.

The team at CPR Gutter Protection treat customer's problems like their own and are more than happy to come to the rescue.

75 years young for CFA

By Derek Schlennstedt It's difficult to believe that the Gembrook CFA has served the community for 75 years, but that's exactly what they've done and at the same time they have become an enduring part of the tightknit community.

The brigade is set to celebrate its 75th anniversary on Sunday, 28 October and will have a number of activities to mark the milestone.

Among the biggest drawcards is a variety of

early historical photos of the station.

The Mail spoke to members of 40 years, Brian Petrie, Steven Marriott and Chris Pearsall about the changes within the CFA and the history of the station. "This station was probably half the size of what it is now," Mr Petrie said.

"There are not many brigades that would be able to say they've built the station."

"Basically the whole station which has been built by us - by the members and a lot of the stuff

was donated." Over the course of 75 years Gembrook has stood as the last CFA station before Bunyip State Park, and has been the first to address many large fires - the most notable being Ash Wednesday.

"We're in a different situation to a lot of brigades as Gembrook is end of the line, once you get out from here it's all bush," Mr Pearsall said.

"You always remember Ash Wednesday ... we never stopped working for six weeks."

The 75th anniversary will remember all these important events and will open the station to the public. A special afternoon tea will also be held and all previous members have been invited back to join in the celebrations.

We've invited all old members and previous members and the general public."

"Just having an open day and afternoon tea to show people what we've done and what we have now and thank them for their support."

All patched up - and cashing up the Gembrook CFA

By Derek Schlennstedt Everything Patchwork and Quilting has patched up Gembrook CFA donating a hefty $6319 to Andrew Clark, Gembrook CFA Fire Captain at the brigade's October meeting.

The money was raised from the groups fifth Everything Patchwork and Quilting Market at Gembrook which was held on Saturday 1 September 2018.

Everything Patchwork and Quilting Market Committee member Glenise Gallagher said 'every cent raised went to the CFA'.

"This year was pretty special," she said "Last year, if you remember we had just under $5000, so for me life is made up of goals and this year my goal was to get over 5000 for you."

Most times I don't like to write cheques, but this is one cheque I do love to write ... this year I have for you $6319."

MS Gallagher said she was "chuffed" with this year's event's success, which had the biggest attendance ever and attracted 30 traders.

She said that traders had already booked in for next year's event and that so far the event has raised $19,871 all of which has been donated to Gembrook CFA. "Because it was so successful and because we love to help our local CFA we are holding another event next year on September 7, so be sure to lock it in," she said.

Gembrook CFA Fire Captain Andrew Clark said the brigade "greatly appreciated" the ongoing support of Everything Patchwork and Quilting.

Get properties bushfire ready

By Derek Schlennstedt Council is urging property owners to start preparing their properties for bush and grass fires ahead of the Fire Danger Period, with courtesy reminder letters to be sent out soon.

The Yarra Ranges is one of the highest risk bushfire areas in Victoria and it is the responsibility of property owners and Council to ensure the municipality is prepared for the bushfire season.

Courtesy letters will soon be sent to residents across the Yarra Ranges who received a Fire Prevention Notice last year, reminding them that it is the critical time to prepare properties for the upcoming fire season.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Len Cox, said that reducing the risk of bush and grass fires starting and spreading was everyone's responsibility.

"We live in a beautiful area, but we also happen to be in one of the most bushfire prone areas in the world," Cr Cox said.

"The climate, geography and vegetation in the Yarra Ranges mean we have the potential for serious fires each summer, and we're looking at an early start to the fire season.

"This is not only important to areas of the Yarra Valley such as Warburton, which has a high 6W MAIL

fire risk, but also our urban areas, where grassfires can easily start and spread.

"I encourage all of our residents to read about burning off in their area and how to best prepare their property to reduce their risk of a bush or grass fire spreading."

CFA's Manager of Community Safety for the North East Region, Tammy Garrett, said residents should always register their burn off with the ESTA on 1800 668 511 and check weather conditions before lighting a burn.

"Managing the bushfire risk is everyone's responsibility," she said.

"The more residents do to clean up their properties now, the more it will help the community should there be fires in the local environment.

"Clean your property and prepare now for the fire season. Don't leave it to the last minute when it may be too late."

Cr Cox encouraged residents to get on the front foot and prepare their properties early.

"Clearing any excess vegetation and ensuring your property is fire ready won't just prevent you receiving a Fire Prevention Notice or a fine, but it'll also give you peace of mind that you've done.

Smaller wineries give big to CFA

By Michael Doran A group of 25 Yarra Valley wineries, in conjunction with Woori Yallock Community Bank, has donated over $100,000 to local service groups since 2009.

This year $10,000 has been split between five Yarra Valley CFA brigades with the cheque presentation at Tokar Estate on 4 October.

At the handover, Daniel Tokar, President of the Smaller Wineries Association, said the money had been raised from the Yarra Valley Shortest Lunch and the Shedfest Wine Festival.

"Running these events allows our association to make the donations we do and is our way of giving back to the community we live and work in," Daniel Tokar said.

"It also helps to bring more visitors to the Yarra Valley and with 25 smaller wineries in our group that gives people a personal insight into how wines are made."

"This time we picked five local CFA stations, Badgers Creek, Coldstream, Dixons Creek, Healesville and Yarra Glen, and they will receive $2,000 each to spend as they see fit," Mr. Tokar said.

Liz Fletcher from the Badgers Creek brigade said fundraising is never an easy task and donations like these help to purchase more and updated equipment.

"For Badgers Creek we have very limited fundraising avenues, particularly given our location, so this is a big boost to our brigade," said Liz Fletcher.

"We are very grateful for the fundraising that the wineries and Bendigo Bank do for the mailcommunity.com.au

Belgrave's police and business community have welcomed a new network of CCTV cameras around the town.

Casey MP Tony Smith officially launched the system on Friday 5 October.

The cameras cover Belgrave main street, a number of public areas, and motorists travelling in and out of the town.

Police and local traders joined Mr Smith for the launch, which is part of a planned expansion of CCTV cameras across Yarra Ranges.

"I'm very pleased that the Belgrave cameras are up and running," he said.

"The field evidence on the existing camera network is very strong and shows that these cameras combat crime and they deter crime," Mr Smith said.

"For retailers there is a confidence with the

cameras that there and the fear is reduced that it's going to be trashed or graffitied."

"It gives a level of confidence for our retailers and then there customers."

Belgrave is the ninth town across the Yarra Ranges to receive the high-tech cameras.

Yarra Ranges Crime Prevention Officer, Leading Senior Constable Linda Hancock, has been working with the Belgrave community as part of the Yarra Ranges Safety Camera Network to get the best system available.

She told the Mail the cameras were situated to see the comings and goings around the town, but had a few extra investigative capabilities such as, facial recognition.

"We're able to very quickly with the new technology search for facial recognition, colours of vehicles and movement form location to location," she said.

IN BRIEF

Burnham Beeches gets green light

By Derek Schlennstedt Owners of Burnham Beeches Shannon Bennett and Adam Garrison have responded to the planning permit handed down last week.

A planning permit was granted by Minister for Planning Richard Wynne, who reiterated under strict conditions that 'every beech tree' along the road is to be preserved.

Under the permit the current owners, including celebrity chef Shannon Bennett, can start converting it into a 55-room hotel, restaurant and retail complex.

In a statement from Mr Bennett and Mr Garrison they said they were excited "to get the green light for our plans to bring the historic Burnham Beeches back to life with an environmentally sensitive, premium hospitality development."

"Burnham Beeches has great cultural significance for the Dandenong Ranges and we have worked hard in our plans to protect its heritage value. Now, we look forward to delivering exciting new opportunities in tourism and hospitality to the Dandenong Ranges."

"We are especially delighted to see the final plan will have no impact on the beech trees on Sherbrooke Road."

"From day one we have fought hard to keep the trees and we have invested heavily to ensure they will stay."

"We will soon announce a joint venture with the one of the world's most regarded prestige boutique hotel companies, specialising in community, environment, sustainability and understated luxury."

The planning permit allows for the development of a 55 room hotel, function centre, shop, brewery and two food and drink premises.

Thieves stole a bucket of coins from a Mooroolbark coin laundrette.

Yarra Ranges CIU detectives said they forced entry to the Manchester Road premises' back door, possibly using a grinder, overnight from 29 to 30 September.

Police said the bandits removed a CCTV recorder and took a bucket filled with about $300 in coins.

They caused about $5000 in damage.

Shed theft warning Yarra Ranges police are warning of a trend in thefts from garden sheds on farms.

Detective Sergeant Math Smithwick issued the warning following a report about the theft of a hedge trimmer from a Yarra Glen property sometime during July or August.

"If there's no forced entry it can take people a while to realise anything's missing," he said.

"It has been a problem in the past.

"It's starting to become one again."

Det Sgt Smithwick urged people to lock their sheds and secure any valuables.

Haining Farm hit again

The current owners of Burnham Beeches have responded to the planning permit handed down last week which allows for a 55-room hotel, restaurant and retail complex to be built.

Planning Minister Richard Wynne said that the project ticked all the boxes for the community.

"It's going to create local jobs and encourage tourism, making the region more attrac-

tive than ever," Mr Wynne said.

"Being on the Victorian Heritage Register means any development on the Burnham Beeches Estate will have to respect the character and the history that makes the site so special."

Poppies in praise of peace Mount Evelyn RSL and others across the state will soon be selling poppies for more than just remembrance.

RSL Victoria hopes to raise $3 million in this year’s Poppy Appeal, with 100 per cent of the proceeds to support current and former service men and women in need.

Remembrance Day this year marks 100 years since the guns fell silent on the Western Front to end The Great War. Poppies were among the first plants to bloom in the devastated battlefields of France and Belgium, and since 1921 they’ve been used in remembrance of those who fell during times of war.

Mount Evelyn RSL Sub-Branch president Roger Boness said the Poppy Appeal was an opportunity for Victorians to come together to reflect and remember in the lead up to Re-

Mooroolbark coin haul

membrance Day on 11 November.

“This year, not only will we have array of poppies to sell, but to commemorate the Centenary of the Armistice we have a $30 Centenary of Armistice Poppy,” he said.

“There will also be lovingly hand-made poppies this year, made by volunteers from around Victoria.

“This November wear a poppy with pride to say thank you for our dedicated service men and women, past and present.”

RSL Victoria president Rob Webster said it was important to remember the needs of younger veterans.

“Wearing a poppy is also how we can support them and thank them for their service,” he said.

“By wearing a poppy this November, not only are you acknowledging the service and

Thieves broke into Don Valley's Haining Farm and stole a wood splitter.

Yarra Ranges CIU detectives are investigating the theft, which occurred over night between 27 and 28 September.

They stole a wood-splitter.

The break-in followed another between 5pm on 31 August and 11am on 1 September.

Our wonderful locality It's spring in the Yarra Valley!

How lucky are we to live in such a beautiful part of Victoria?

With the days warming up we are enticed outside to not only deal with the many jobs that need doing in our gardens, but have the opportunity to enjoy an overabundance of things to see and do throughout this beautiful area.

The flowers that bloom in spring are a delight.

The colour and fragrances are a welcome assault on our senses after the gloom of winter.

Check out the Open Gardens Victoria website to find private gardens that are open to the public or take a drive through the magnificent Mount Dandenong area.

The state T of

affairs Christine Fyffe MP Member for Evelyn

The Visit Dandenong Ranges website gives you a wide range of places to visit, so make some plans.

For those of you that love to get amongst nature there are many wonderful walks in our area.

Lillydale Lake is right on our doorstep.

There is a lovely walk around the lake, a fabu-

lous playground for the kids and it has a dogfriendly park so all members of the family can go.

There are two designated dog off-lead areas, however dogs must be on a lead in all other areas of the park.

The historic Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail caters for all physical abilities with short walks to long bike rides.

If you're looking for a lovely picnic or barbecue spot try the Silvan Reservoir Park or the Dandenong Ranges National Park, which has many places to relax and unwind.

Cherries and berries are my favourite fruits and I always look forward to November and December when I get to eat these seasonal taste sensations once again.

With so many farms allowing you to pick your own fruit now, I urge you to visit one or more of them as there is nothing like eating farm-fresh produce.

Cooking and freezing fruit to use in the winter is quick and easy to do and prolongs the enjoyment of produce from a short growing season.

Our fabulous Yarra Valley boasts a wide range of fabulous wineries, local markets, seasonal festivals, open studios and delicious eateries.

The choice is yours.

With the warmer weather inviting us outside, don't just live in the Yarra Valley, take advantage of and enjoy everything our amazing Yarra Valley has to offer.

It’s just going swimmingly

By Derek Schlennstedt The Olinda Community Pool has secured extra funding through the Pick My Project program.

Member for Monbulk James Merlino announced on 3 October that the Olinda Community Pool Association will receive $174,050 to provide for a revitalised toddler pool, including new water features and a splash zone.

The upgraded toddler pool and splash zone will be accessible to all ages and all abilities and is the last part in the renewal of the pool.

The funding will upgrade the toddler pool, the shade sails, and build a splash zone for water play including jets and fountains.

Only last week Yarra Ranges Council awarded the Olinda Community Pool Association (OCPA) a contract to run the pool from this coming summer through to 2026.

Pick My Project organiser, James Edge said he was excited for the future of the pool following both of the announcements.

"We are really excited about the future," he said.

"We've received so much support from the community, council and state government."

He said the funds from the Pick My Project program would go towards revitalising and beautifying the toddler pool which has remained unchanged for decades "What we want to deliver is a fun and engaging area that has some modern water play, fountains and some really lively surroundings," he said.

"A little bit of beautification but also to bring the toddler area up to a modern day standard." obviously we are very pleased with the response that we got and want to thank everybody who voted for our project but what we think it highlights is just how important these small regional pools are in the eyes of the community."

Members of the Olinda Community Pool Association, Karina, Sacha, Duncan, Sue and Alanna with a host of local children celebrating the awarding of the Pick My Project funding for the Olinda Toddler Pool Renewal.

The Olinda Pool is just one of 25 projects across the Eastern Metropolitan Region that received funding.

The project received 243 votes with many people commenting on pools importance within the local community.

Through the $30 million Pick My Project initiative, Victorian residents aged 16 and over were given the opportunity to submit an idea for a project or program that made their community a better place to live.

More than 95,000 Victorians cast votes, with successful projects receiving grants of between

$20,000 and $200,000.

More than 230 projects across Melbourne and regional Victoria received funding through Pick My Project, with funding divided equally between Melbourne and regional Victoria based on the population of each of the six metropolitan and nine regional partnership areas.

Life’s little treasures

By Derek Schlennstedt Not particularly concerned, but unable to get rid of a worried feeling, Jacquie Smith from Monbulk drives to The Angliss hospital hoping for assurance everything is ok.

She’s 31 weeks pregnant - surely her baby can’t be arriving, she thinks.

“I had contractions on the early Saturday and by Sunday lunch time I went into the Angliss hospital,” she said.

“Alexcia was born three hours later.”

“It was my first birth and considering I had quite a good pregnancy up and till then it was a real shock ... I wasn’t expecting it at all.”

“It was quite scary especially for your first time - I was in denial until I saw her.”

Jacquie’s little girl, Alexcia, was born at only 31 weeks - nine weeks earlier than expected.

She balanced the scales at a meek 1.8kilograms.

Raising a premature baby has been an emotional rollercoaster for Jacquie, but her love for her daughter has never once wavered.

For the first seven weeks of her life Alexcia was in hospital. The hardest part Jacquie said was not being able to take her home.

“Not being able to bring her home was probably the hardest part.”

“You get up every morning and go in to hospital constantly and you’re on the phone to the hospital too and just seeing her go through her daily battles was really hard.”

“She was on a breathing ventilator for a few days and did quite well but she’s had some problems being able to breathe properly, as her lungs weren’t fully developed - we know

now she has chronic lung disease.”

More than 48,000 Australian babies are admitted into neonatal and special care units every year.

On October 28 the Smith family is taking part in an Australian charity event for Life’s Little Treasures Foundation Walk for Prems.

It aims to raise money for premature and sick babies who are immediately placed in neonatal intensive care.

In the past nine years the foundation has raised $1.4 million for sick and premature babies, and hopes to receive $300,000 in donations this year.

“Because I’ve been through the whole experience and didn’t really know much about how common it was until now and how much support you really do need when going through it, I wanted to give back.”

“It’s something that means a lot to me and to raise money for people to get that supportI’d love to be able to be a part of that.”

“Just being able to help in anyway is good.”

Schools plans for summer

By Derek Schlennstedt After Black Saturday the Dandenong's were identified as one of the most high-risk locations in Victoria.

One way to reduce that risk is planned burning and although the CFA and Forest Fire Management burn large swathes of land in the Dandenong Ranges every year, it's equally important to have a plan in place for a high fire risk day.

Principal Stacey Goodger at Sassafras Primary School knows just how important it is to have a fire plan.

According to Sassafras CFA Captain John Schurink, if a fire started in the Basin the school would only have 10-15 minutes to prepare, which is why on extreme days the students are relocated to Boronia West Primary School.

Ms Goodger said that the school upgraded its fire refuge last summer, but that after con-

sultation with parents and student, it was decided three years ago that on extreme days the school would relocate to a safer location.

"On extreme days we travel to Boronia West Primary school," she said.

"Students get dropped of there for the day and we run the school day at Boronia West."

She said that although they haven't had to put it into practice as there have been no extreme days since its integration, the school still engages in a practice every December.

"Towards the end of this term we have a practice day and will visit the school to practice so that parents will know what to do."

"It's just so everyone knows what happens and where the school is."

"For at least three years we've been organising this but luckily we haven't yet needed to go down there as we haven't had a extreme day since we've been doing it."

She said the students enjoy the practice

days as they get to make new friends and explore a new school.

"The students enjoy going down there and it's a totally different environment ... a different yard and different play equipment and they get to meet and make new friends."

In 1977 a fire lit in the Basin decimated the town of Ferny Creek and Captain Schurink said it that with the prevailing winds at the time it only took eight minutes to travel up the mountain.

Ms Goodger said that safety was paramount and that it was recognised by all student, staff and parents that the best place to be was off the mountain.

"On a day like Black Saturday we wouldn't have much time to even get into the fire refuge, so relocating the school is too make sure we're as safe as possible," she said.

"We're off the mountain and out of the fire danger area." "we do it to be as safe as possible."

Rebuild on the cards for Mount Evelyn’s cop shop

By Derek Schlennstedt An elected Liberal Nationals Government will provide $3.5 million to rebuild the Mount Evelyn Police Station.

Liberal Candidate for Mt Evelyn, Bridget Vallence said that for too long, local police have been working in a station that is rundown and does not meet the needs of modern law enforcement to help keep the community safe.

Currently police are stationed at Mount Evelyn eight hours a day for five days a week at a minimum.

The rebuilding of Mount Evelyn Police Station is part of the State Opposition Governments local community safety plan in the Yarra Ranges that includes the rebuild of Mon-

bulk Police Station and adequate resourcing to make sure Mooroolbark Police Station operates 24 hours a day.

According to Crime statistics since 2014 crimes against the person have increased from 42 to 63 and property and deception offences have also increased from 147 to 178.

"Our local police women and men deserve the vital resources they need to fight crime and protect our community," Ms Vallence said.

"My commitment to rebuild the Mount Evelyn Police Station, and upgrade safety lighting in the Wray Crescent car park, delivers the resources needed to keep our community safe."

Ms Vallence said that if elected a Liberal Nationals Government will also contribute $25,000

for lighting in the Wray Crescent car park (near the Warburton Rail Trail) to improve safety at night for residents, traders and tourists.

"If I am elected to represent Evelyn, I will continue working hard to ensure safety comes first for our local community."

The announcement on 4 September attracted traders and residents including, Graeme Northey, President of Mount Evelyn Football and Netball Club, who said he hoped that a new police station would also mean more police in the area.

"I think it important that we do have a more manned station because I'm the president of the football club and we have a lot of vandalism that goes on down there."

An elected Liberal Nationals Government will provide $3.5 million to rebuild the Mount Evelyn Police Station.

Art attack a riot of colour

By Derek Schlennstedt Vacant walls in Mooroolbark will soon be revitalised with colourful artworks, after the town received funding from the Pick My Project program.

The township secured $192,144 in funding and aims to reinvigorate the town with an array of art spread throughout the town.

Mooroolbark Traders and Community Group Inc. attracted over 240 votes for the project and as part of the project a mix of both commissioned pieces and works created in collaboration with the community will become part of the Mooroolbark streetscape.

The art will be accessible for visitors and residents to enjoy every day of the week, and Yolande Pickett- co-organiser said she was looking forward to brightening up the backstreets of Mooroolbark.

"To get funding for an entire project in one hit and know you can sit down and get stuck into the project without having to keep fundraising is massive," she said.

"We're absolutely thrilled."

A number of local artists will create works that take into account the concerns, needs and aspirations of the community.

Ms Pickett said the final project will include large-scale street art, trails of miniature artworks, playful gathering spaces and collaborative pavement art.

The next part will be big on consultation with the community, as it's really important we don't have artists coming in and putting their stamp on it," she said.

"There are a few different streams we'll follow," she said.

Jumping for joy is Yolande Pickett, Group front from left, Lucinda, Mandy Pickett (Yarra Art Ranges), Ben and Katie, Behind from left, Llyod Stott, Brett Clarke, Russell Bartlett, Geoff Earney (President of Traders Association) and Marion Stott. 185989 "We'll have some large scale work but then also create a trail of small artwork which people can hunt to find."

"There are a lot of ideas there and we hope to build an amazing collection all throughout the town."

"Mooroolbark is a fairly special community it just needs the look and needs to be revitalised a little bit."

A trigger of truth tells a tale of empire

By Derek Schlennstedt Two of Australia's unique artists, William Crighton and Gawurra will unite to present a remarkable set of music and social storytelling at Montrose Town Centre on 18 October.

Both artists are returning from Europe and USA tours and have been prominent in the music scene over the past year, with Crighton buoyed by the success of his fascinating selftitled debut album and the equally impressive follow-up EMPIRE captivating audiences with his live work.

Since his 2016 debut album, Ratja Yaliyali, Yolngu singer-songwriter Stanley Gawurra Gaykamangu's is hailed as a must see performer.

voice has won him four NIMA Awards and got him nominated for an ARIA. Apart from beautiful, visceral music, Gawurra and William Crighton share a love for the Australian landscape and far flung corners of this wide land.

William Crighton said it was that love for the Australia that saw them become friends and embark on a tour together.

"We met on the south coast at a gig, last year," he said.

"When I met him we had a connection of some sort and I really loved his music, and I suppose he saw something in mine."

The show will be acoustic based with ethereal soundscapes featuring throughout.

Distinctive story tellers, William Crighton and Gawurra both have unique and different sounds; though in the tour have united to

present remarkable music from two unique Australian perspectives.

"I've been lucky enough to spend some good quality time with Aboriginal Elders and Gawurra and whenever you are around someone like Gawurra you are forever learning and the cool thing is he is also forever learning," Will said.

"I suppose that's the nature of the whole experience, and that goes back into the show - we're learning as we're playing."

"Every show is different and a unique experience and expression of what we're feeling at that time."

Venom, a Spider-man spin-off, is a sloppy but entertaining superhero action film.

In a laboratory accident, disgraced investigative journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) merges with an alien organism named Venom, which gives him superhuman abilities.

The chemistry between Eddie and the Venom 'symbiote' (who originated in Marvel comics as a Spider-man antagonist) is the centrepiece of a scattershot but fun film.

Hardy portrays a witty, awkward protagonist, and Venom (voiced by Hardy) is honourable beyond his savage hunger. The two entities form an unlikely friendship, as Venom comes to like Eddie for his perseverance.

Venom utilises the title alien's insidious nature and body-morphing abilities for both disquieting moments of body horror and creatively-choreographed (if chaotically shot) action scenes.

Venom has engaging performances, exciting action and solid atmosphere, but the plot is rushed and unfocused.

Riz Ahmed has a charismatic presence as billionaire antagonist Carlton Drake, a cruel visionary, but Carlton's plan to bring more symbiote aliens to Earth is very nebulous. As an antagonistic force, the symbiote Carlton merges with is a complete afterthought, and the film detours several times into a pointless subplot showing how this symbiote reaches the US. The film also abandons its own rules, namely the symbiote's constant hunger and need for a compatible host, when dramatically convenient, thus diluting the tension in Eddie's 'condition'.

Venom is a poorly-structured but thoroughly entertaining B-movie.

HSV horsepower rules

By Derek Schlennstedt There will be a new breed of car driving around the Yarra Ranges now that Heritage Holden in Lilydale has become a HSV dealer.

They'll be showing their brand new line of performance vehicles including the Colorado Sportscat and the Silverado at the Wandin Silvan Field days.

For the past 16 years the heritage Holden team have attended the event, though Larry Morris from Heritage Holden Lilydale said this was the first year they would be displaying HSV vehicles.

"For the Last 16 years we've come to the Wandin Silvan Field days but this one will be different with our new line of vehicles," he said.

"It is pretty big news going forward."

"We will have new HSV products and it's pretty exciting to have the opportunity to sell some cars that haven't been seen around the Yarra Valley."

The types of cars Larry is talking about aren't your average ute.

Bold and undeniably dynamic, the new Colorado SportsCat is in a league of its own.

It's powered by a 2.8 litre double overhead cam 4-cylinder common-rail injection Duramax Turbo Diesel engine that offers 147kW of power and up to 500Nm of torque.

Couple this with some tasteful suspension modifications and it becomes an on-road weapon.

Also appearing next to the Colorado will be the granddaddy of Ute's; the Silverado imported directly from the US. Power, payload and towing capability are what the Silverado is famous for and all these attributes are reflected in the five-model 4x4

You can see the powerful Chevy Silverado at the Wandin Silvan Field days at the heritage Holden Marquee.

Crew Cab line-up, which will feature at the Wandin Silvan Field days.

These heavy-duty trucks perform as aggressively as they look and all five vehicles in this legendary range, share the same, uncompromising, powertrain. The Duramax 6.6L Turbo

Diesel V8 engine pumps out a maximum 332kW of power and 1,234Nm of torque and is mated to an Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission.

With 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and an automatic locking rear differential, the Chev-

rolet Silverado range redefines rugged.

Mr Morriss invited people to come to the Wandin Field days on Friday 12 October and Saturday 13 October where they can view these immense vehicles. You can find and see them at Holden heritage marquee.

WANDIN FIELD DAY

Zoom zoom in a boom Designed and developed locally, the New-Look BT-50 is purpose built for Australians looking for a tough ute that will tackle everything from the daily grind to off road adventures.

With major front-end design changes and added equipment across grades, this is the second and most comprehensive update to the Mazda BT-50 since its launch in 2011.

The New-Look BT-50 boasts a bold new bumper and grille to achieve a stronger road stance and you can take a look at it at this years Wandin-Silvan Field days. .

Sharpening up the bumper, the outer edges have been squared off to give the ute a lower visual centre of gravity and a more solid bearing on the road.

Strong, straight lines are carried through to new fog light surrounds and a large trapezoid lower air intake with skid plate, accented with mesh texture and a 3-dimensional insert for greater contrast.

The front-end changes are bolstered by equipment upgrades across the range, which includes an exciting first for Mazda, the introduction of Apple CarPlay® and Android

•฀฀Tank฀sizes฀from฀520฀litres-27,900฀litres •฀One฀Piece฀Moulds฀with •฀15฀year฀warranty฀on฀Tanks •฀฀Wombat฀water฀Carters฀&฀Troughs

Auto® across all grades.

The flagship GT will take another step up in class, offering more convenience and design differentiation as standard. The GT adds a chrome Sports Bar with integrated highmounted LED stop light, a heavy-duty tub liner to protect the tub and tailgate from scuffs and dents, tailgate central locking to safely secure gear in the tray and a single 12 volt auxiliary socket and light to aid visibility in the tub.

The XT will see the biggest changes with the addition of a Reverse Camera to improve rear vision and a 7-inch Alpine Infotainment

System to keep drivers connected to the world around them. Adding to the impressive package is an equally impressive starting price of just $28,990 Driveaway.

Every horticultural production property should have a suitable biosecurity procedure in place and register for a Property Identification Code (PIC) with Agriculture Victoria. the Box Hill Institute's Biosecurity Centre of Excellence.

The best way to stop the spread of fruit fly is to not bring fruit into the Yarra Valley from regions like QLD, NSW and northern Victoria where there are Queensland fruit fly populations.

All it takes is one hidden larvae in a piece of fruit and it can be hard to see the small 'sting' on the fruit.

Every horticultural production property should have a suitable biosecurity procedure in place and register for a Property Identification Code (PIC) with Agriculture Victoria.

Visit Bronwyn Koll, the Yarra Valley Regional Queensland Fruit Fly Coordinator, at the Wandin Silvan Field days for more commercial grower information and technical support.

Early detection can lead to effective early response for Queensland fruit fly eradication - fruit fly traps are available at bulk prices at agricultural resellers and online. Fruit fly traps should be placed in trees with foliage, about 1.5 metres high, where fruit flies like to "hang out".

Last season (summer and autumn 2018); Queensland fruit flies were detected in Yellingbo, East Warburton, Healesville, Seville, Wandin, Silvan and Coldstream.

Where "only flies in traps" were identified, investigations took place to try to find the source.

Where larvae were identified, landowners cleaned up the infested fruit and took eradication steps such as increased surveillance of fruit, fruit fly trapping and notifying neighbours - they even helped their neighbours clean up and remove any fruit that might have also been infested. They froze and solarised the fruit to kill the larvae.

Transporting infested fruit can cause new populations of fruit fly can establish in fruit fly free regions, causing devastation and destruction to commercial crops.

The fruit fly can hibernate through winter and spring in warm sheltered environments - like bushland, river edges, parks, sheds, gardens and residential homes.

Citrus trees are often a refuge for fruit flies over winter. If residents have any overwintering fruit fly from last season's detections, they can take action by trapping and baiting any remnant overwintering adults this spring.

The Yarra Valley could potentially host up to three fruit fly generations in a summer season if early detections are not addressed.

Fruit fly infested fruit needs to be treated with heat or extreme cold to kill the larvae.

Boiling or freezing solid are methods that anyone can do.

Currently, large volume disposal options include commercial waste removal, animal feed, deep burial (below one metre of compacted soil, drenching with insecticide, as well as long-term chilling and burning.

More sustainable chemical-free methods for commercial-scale fruit disposal of potentially infested fruit are being investigated by

SHOP LOCAL MONBULK

The ‘go-to’ for great fun With so many people finding fewer hours in an ever-increasing busy day, the Monbulk Bowling Club Bistro remains as the 'go-to' for great fun, exceptional food, award-winning customer service and outstanding community support.

And as general manager Denise Rutzou explained, the Monbulk Bowling Club is the venue to relax, catch up with friends and family and unwind from the pace of the day.

"The Monbulk Bowling Club Bistro is a respected and recognised food and beverage leader, winning the Customer Excellence Award for hospitality for the last four years," Denise said.

Management at the club have a simple aim - for everyone who walks through the doors to have a wonderful encounter and an enjoyable outing, with the experienced staff proudly focused on customer service.

"There's an exciting new menu about to be launched, with the head chef bringing his well-travelled global expertise and training to the Monbulk dining experience," Denise said.

"And Friday night you can get your boogie on! Dance or sing away with outstanding live and local entertainment as the club supports artists from around the region."

The Monbulk Bowling Club engages, promotes and supports the local community in many different, and sometimes discreet, ways.

It has generously handed out thousands of dollars in community grants for a host of local sporting and neighbourhood projects, and in a forward thinking move, has just installed a new generator. So now, when the lights go out, the club will still be there for all its customers!

And don't forget, for some real fun, get the crew to the club for a 'barefoot bowling' session, corporate bowls, social bowls or hardedged competition where everyone can get involved.

The Monbulk Bowling Club Bistro is an award winning, vibrant community hub located at 11 Moores Road, Monbulk. For more information, visit www.monbulkbowls.org or phone 9756 6183.

SPORT

Season begins at Monbulk

Smiles, friendship set up the season Yarra Ranges Athletics Club launched a new summer season of Track and Field at Morrison Reserve in Mt Evelyn on Saturday morning.

Little Athletics competitors turned up in large numbers, with a great mixture of new members on trial and experienced athletes returning for their 8th or 9th season.

The competition kicked off after all the athletes were gathered together in their age groups, to meet new friends and reacquaint with last years competitors.

With nervous excitement the U6 athletes began their athletics experience with the On Track skills development session hosted by coach Malcolm Duncan.

The older age groups began their season with a mixture of 100m sprints, long jump, shotput, discus and 800m races, with some age group changes this season, it was great to see the new friendships already being formed.

Across all the age groups, it was clear that our athletes were happy to be back at the track, shaking off any winter rustiness and demonstrating that they will be striving for new personal best performances all through the summer rounds.

The Yarra Ranges Athletics club was recently able to fund the purchase of new timing equipment, with the new streamlined electronic recording make for quicker processing of results, parents and athletes were able to review their results shortly after lunch.

We look forward to week 2 of competition when the athletes will complete the full version of Program 1, when hurdles, high jump and javelin get included in the event list for the first time this season.

The under eleven girls running in the 800 metres.

Not to be outdone, the Yarra Ranges Athletics senior athletes also competed in the afternoon at Casey Fields for the opening round of the Athletics Victoria Shield competition. In the first of 12 rounds, they began the journey with the aim of returning to the Shield finals to be held in February. The U18 men will be aiming to defend their Shield title, and the Open Mens and Womens teams aiming to step higher in the rankings.

With a wide range of event choices, athletes lined up against other club athletes of similar ability to create highly competitive heats throughout the afternoon.

It's not too late to get involved in either Little Athletics or the senior competition with Athsvic, any interested athletes can contact the club via e-mail join@yarrarangesathletics. org.au

Monbulk Bowls Club started the season well in Tuesday pennant with two wins and one loss.

Monbulk 1 had a big win over Mooroolbark by 58 shots, 101 to 43 at home.

Richard Cookson's rink had a huge win by 35 shots, 43 to 8.

Monbulk 2 were able to get the points against Heathmont by 9 shots.

Peter Francis' rink had a good win by 13 shots, Dick Coppin's rink won by a shot and Lorraine McLaren lost by 5 shots.

Monbulk 3 came up against a strong Bayswater away from home and lost by 43 shots.

Mike Harris' rink did a great job to win by one shot, but Everett Hargreaves and Barry Adshead went down by significant margins.

Round 2 of Tuesday pennant saw Monbulk 1 record a good win at Yarra Glen by 25 shots, 70 to 45. Richard Cookson's rink won by 12 shots, Andrew Bell's rink won by 9 shots and Eric Markham's rink got home by 4 shots.

Monbulk 2 staged a tough battle at Mooroolbark to go down by 5 shots.

The first round of Saturday pennant saw Monbulk 1 travel to Upwey Tecoma. Monbulk struggled throughout the day eventually losing by 61 shots - 49 to 110.

Eric Markham's rink stayed in front for most of the day but was overtaken on the last couple of ends.

Peter Francis and Case Broekhoff's rinks both had wins by 11 shots and 2 shots respectively.

The Ford Mustang Bullitt arrives in Australia to feature at the Motorclassica.

You can see the Bullitt

By Derek Schlennstedt

Visitors to Motorclassica will have the chance to win the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix 2019 experience door prize, which includes a three-day Grandstand pass for two people, a Paddock Tour and Pit Canopy session, valued at more than $5000.

Motorclassica is Australia's premier annual celebration of the collector and classic car and motorcycle lifestyle, showcasing many aspects of the enthusiast hobby and interest.

For the serious collectors, the Australian International Concours d'Elegance is a multiclass independently-judged contest that recognises the very best examples of rare, exotic and priceless vehicles.

There will also be a display of cars and motorcycles from the outrageous Art Deco era, from 1910 to 1940, and a celebration of 70 years of the legendary Harley-Davidson Panhead and 60 years of the Triumph Bonneville.

Motorclassica 2018 will pay tribute to the American muscle cars of the late '60s, the tiny, quirky automotive "fad" of Micro Cars, and an exhibition of significant Cadillac models.

In contrast, a select group of modern manufacturers will use the Event to display a mix of sports and performance models, several of them making their official Australian debuts.

2018 Motorclassica tickets are on sale now at www.motorclassica.com.au

1187559-RC24-15

Two of Australia's premier automotive events will combine forces next month to celebrate an important milestone.

Motorclassica and the Australian Grand Prix will mark the 90th anniversary of the race's first-ever running, with a special tribute display at Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building on 12-14 October.

Australia's most prestigious motor race, the Australian Grand Prix is the world's second oldest, having been staged for the very first time on the dusty public roads of Phillip Island in 1928.

"Australia's Grand Prix has such a rich and

interesting history, and its role in the development of the sport here has been significant, so we are delighted to be able to stage a special tribute to its 90 years of history," Motorclassica Event Director Paul Mathers said.

"In partnership with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, we are creating a display of important cars from throughout the event's nine decades of history, including the very first winner from 1928.

"We'll also have on hand Australia's own 1980 World Champion Alan Jones, who will share his memories of winning the race in 1980 and of his father's success in the same event in 1959."
