Warby cops win

By Michael Doran The new Warburton Police Station will be officially opened by Northern Victoria MLC, Jaclyn Symes, on Monday 29 October at 12pm.

The station is built on the same site as the old one but the best view in Warburton is about all the two stations will have in common.

The old building was variously described as 'out-dated, dilapidated, sub-par and not fit-for-purpose', prior to its demolition in late 2017.

Amid builders hurrying to finish off, Warburton Sergeant, Tom Wilkinson, said his team will be moving in on 24 October.

"I've been banging on for years to anyone who would listen that we needed a station like this," he said. "For a start, we are now accessible to everyone in the community with the ramp that's been put in."

"The station has the right space where we can deal with the public on sensitive matters and we have a very secure and safe custody area."

"Our biggest concern has always been around the security of our members and the new custody area gives us a facility built exactly for that purpose."

"There is a multi-purpose emergency management room that can be used to coordinate emergency or disaster responses across all of the agencies involved."

"It will have all the services and technology that is needed in an emergency and in a fire danger area like this that's vital."

One of the team working from the new station will be Leading Senior Constable Kevin Bishop. "Working in a safe and secure place is an important factor for police and the community who rely on our services and attend the station," he said. "The old building just couldn't provide that and this one can."

Police service levels will not be changing and Warburton will still be designated a '16hour station', with a team of five officers supporting Sergeant Wilkinson.

"The best way to access services in an emergency is always through triple zero. We work in tandem with Yarra Junction station

to shoot along so she and colleague, LSC Brett Hanscomb, could take off to an urgent call for they had just received.

Cindy McLeish has sent around a publicity spiel entitled "A real plan to KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE." This is directed at the apparent "law and order crisis" in Victoria. But has she and the Liberal Party not seen recent statistics showing that most crimes in Victoria have been falling in percentage terms? Accordingly, I assume this kind of publicity is simply meant to engender fear in the general population.

I would further ask what policies she has to: keep our community safe from the increasingly severe effects of anthropogenic climate change; from excessively high house prices aided by negative-gearing; from lowering education standards because of reduced government expenditure and handouts to the private school sector; and from public money being spent on compensation for planning debacles as happened down at Phillip Island.

I look forward to hearing what Ms McLeish has to say about these issues.

Final thanks We heard some complaints about the article: Now, HEAR this, (Mountain Views Mail, September 11). People were disappointed that it did not mention progress being made in the parish and in the town to right the wrongs of child sexual abuse, and to make children safe.

But all criticism was swept aside when it

was realised that Kath Gannaway had chosen this as the subject of her final article before retirement. Kath has been outspoken about this issue from the beginning, and very supportive of victims, and of the Lookout group.

At our meeting members voted to express appreciation for Kath's support and that of the newspaper, particularly in this fine gesture of a Page One tribute to those three. They are still the voice of the many who suffer in silence from abuse, in the parish or in other institutions or in their homes.

Thank you, Kath. Enjoy your retirement but we will miss you.

AFL success questioned The AFL really, is a brilliant success! However, the real, issue with that success is that it has not, respected its core base - the individual, loyal members of individual, AFL clubs (along with such a huge, percentage of Aussie Rules followers - Australia wide); resulting in a new generation of loyalty now, unfolding.

The AFL can be seen to have: a shallow corporate alliance; insincere international connections; deliberate relinquishment of historical context; and a desire to be a law unto themselves!

Which player wants to be a part of this?

When that question has been answered; you will, know your new fan base!

Going digital The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges will soon be home to at least 25 digital kiosks for visitors.

The State Government announced funding through its $2 million Regional Events and Innovation Fund (REIF).

The self-service kiosks will deliver tourist information through interactive touchscreens placed at the top-visited attractions and public spaces.

The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges received about 5.2 million domestic and international visitors who spent about $732 million in the year ending March 2018.

In 2016-17, tourism generated employment for about 6600 people in the region.

"These innovative Digital Visitor Information Kiosks will encourage even more visitors to explore the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges going forward - and that's great news for local jobs and businesses," Monbulk MP James Merlino said.

The Upper Ferntree Gully Visitor Information Centre closed in June 2017, making way for new digital kiosks.

The digital kiosks come after Yarra Ranges Tourism made the decision to close the visitor information centres at Healesville and Upper Ferntree Gully in June 2017.

That decision was made following a significant decrease in the number of walk-in visitor inquiries.

IN BRIEF

Oh deer in the hills

By Derek Schlennstedt Yarra Ranges Council was one of four outer eastern councils who wrote to premier Daniel Andrews to ask the government to tackle the burgeoning deer problem.

On Friday, 5 October Yarra Ranges Council, Manningham, Cardinia and Nillumbik Council all sent a letter pleading for the state government to help tackle the problem, which they argued was hurting agricultural businesses, and was putting lives at risk.

"As they encroach further into peri-urban and urban areas, pest deer pose a significant and growing risk to people's safety, to the environment and to agriculture," the letter states.

"With this encroachment, the more difficult and expensive pest deer control becomes."

"We are writing to seek State Government action and resources to manage pest deer in Melbourne's peri-urban areas, such as Manningham, Nillumbik, Cardinia and Yarra Ranges."

The letter stated that State government needs to declare deer as a pest, deliver an effective Victorian Deer Management Strategy (VDMS) and facilitate the reduction of the deer population, particularly in peri-urban areas.

Deer numbers have exploded in Victoria since the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires and the animals are increasingly invading Areas of the Yarra Ranges, causing car crashes and environmental damage.

The government released a draft deer management strategy in the past month, which includes opening up 90,000 hectares of the Alpine National Park to deer hunting.

Yarra Ranges Council Director of Environment and Engineering Mark Varmalis said that "their rapid population growth has turned them into a significant pest affecting the natural environment, the economy and people's safety particularly on roads."

"In the Yarra Ranges there is evidence of

Deer are classified as pests across most of Australia, except NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, where they are protected under each state's Wildlife Act to preserve deer as a resource for recreational hunting.

Mr Varmalis said that "declaring deer as a pest will assist in reducing their numbers and will alleviate the high economic loss they cause to agriculture, the environment and infrastructure."

Melbourne Water is reminding the community of the dangers of using homemade enclosed yabby traps in waterways following the death of a platypus in Millgrove.

The warning comes amid the shocking discovery of a dead platypus and Rakali (water rat) found in a trap at Millgrove along the Yarra River, in the last week of September.

Another empty homemade trap, with chicken wire was found only a few kilometres away at Big Pats Creek in Warburton.

Melbourne Water General Manager of Waterways and Land, Tim Wood, said the finding was devastating and that the nets could trap a number of air breathing animals.

"We're absolutely devastated to see that one of our most iconic animals continues to perish in these homemade nets," he said.

"While we know yabby fishing is a popular activity and these incidents are accidental, it's important that recreational fishers abide by

Members of the community are encouraged to contribute to the effective management and conservation of platypus through the platypusSPOT app.

Mr Wood said understanding the rate and distribution of a species was essential for effective management and conservation.

"Local knowledge is an invaluable source of information and we encourage the community to contribute their own data of platypus sightings in their areas. This information can be used to assess the status of platypuses and contribute to conservation strategies."

Recreational fishers with opera house nets can also swap there nets for wildlife friendly open-top lift nets for free at any one of 45 tackle stores throughout Victoria.

A ban will be imposed on opera house nets in all waters, both public and private, from 1 July 2019.

The bush is not a garden When working in the field, bushwhackers and ecologists are often working on sites that the public also have access to. It may be a bushland reserve such as Kalbar Reserve in Research, where the focus is to preserve the remnant vegetation, and in many cases protect rare plant species. Equally, it could be an area such as Fergusons Paddock, which has open space abutting a pocket of indigenous bushland. Locals often use these areas to walk their dogs, get some exercise or to just catch up with friends. Unsurprisingly, whilst working in the field, we meet inquisitive locals wanting to know what we are up to. During our engagements a question that regularly pops up is “Cleaning up the bush, are we?”

Naturally some locals are worried about the bushfire risk of dry material around lush vegetation. However, in many of the areas where

we get asked this question, the reserves are not close enough to housing whereby the removal of branches would make a difference.

Another theory that I have been pondering is if this question is rooted in the ideals of times gone by? It has been said that people, who can afford it, often like to live on hilltops overlooking bodies of water. Is this the subconscious mind reverting back to times where it was important to look out for potential extruders coming in from the water? Having sizeable

gaps between vegetation, like in a manicured garden, where humans can see clearly what they are looking at and what is on the other side might not be too dissimilar to the ‘living on a hill’ theory. The sub conscious mind may be saying ‘I can see potential enemies’.

However, for bushland ecosystems to function as they should, and therefore provide ecosystem services for humans, many elements must be present. One of these elements is nonliving trunks and branches that don’t exactly fit into the manicured garden mould.

When entire trees or branches full to the understory, they provide shelter for insects, mammals and reptiles. Reptiles control populations of insects, mammals disperse seeds, and many insects pollinate plants or eat unbeneficial insects that humans loathe - mosquitos and aphids, just to name a few. Even-

tually the carbon source from the dead tree material breaks down, providing nutrients and texture to hold and release nutrients for when other living plant matter is hungry or thirsty.

Dead trees that are still standing are contributing to a living ecosystem in many ways.

Insects break down the cellulose in bark, whilst birds such as Tree-creepers and Whitefaced honeyeaters scale trunks looking for insect food. Equally as important are the hollow branches in these dead trees as they provide homes for many species of parrots. Parrots are great pollinators of our indigenous eucalypt trees.

Of course, there are many more understory elements that contribute to a functioning ecosystem, each of which would be compromised by an Environmental Manager spending hours on a rake or leaf-blower.

Worker’s hut now a home

By Michael Doran The Upper Yarra Museum needed somewhere to store their fragile pieces and the Brown family had an original worker's hut they needed to move.

In a match made in heaven, the museum now has a climate-controlled archive building and the Brown family will see part of their family history live on.

"We desperately needed an archive facility and a strategy to protect our collection," said museum president, Tom O'Meara. "Having the facility was an aspiration for us but seemed highly unlikely until we got the call from the Browns."

On October 10, the hut was officially launched as The Stan Brown Archive Hut, in honour of the man who bought it for 10 pounds in 1958.

The two-man hut originally formed part of the workman's camp that housed workers building the Upper Yarra Reservoir in the 1950's.

Of a total workforce of 1,300, some 1,000 were housed on-site in huts of varying types for single men, families and management. A school, Upper Yarra Dam School was constructed in 1951, along with a kindergarten, post office and health clinic.

The huts were removed when the dam opened in 1957 and Stan Brown bought one, which he relocated to his Wesburn property. It stayed there until being moved to the museum in early 2018.

Stan's son, Howard, spoke at the launch about his early memories of the hut, which he used as a playroom. He said "like any country house all the locals wanted to be involved and the hut was riddled with possums, termites, wombats, rabbits and rats."

"Dad kept meticulous notes on everything in his diary and he would be delighted to know

Upper Yarra Museum President Tom O'Meara with Howard and Jenny Brown. that it is now being used as an historical archive for the Upper Yarra regions."

"On behalf of the family, Jen and I are truly delighted the museum accepted our offer of the hut and for its role in preserving the historic collections held here," he said.

Tom O'Meara said, "We rely on people thinking of us and it is heartbreaking when we learn of historic stuff ending up on the tip."

"This gift of the hut is very significant for us;

the collection is very valuable and is an asset for the Upper Yarra community and beyond."

"We will also use the hut as a place of research to help with the enquiries we receive from people researching their own personal history."

"We all feel much happier that the collection is being preserved and we appreciate the Brown's generosity and will make the most of the hut for many years to come," he said.

Designing Passions

By Michael Doran A chance sewing lesson booked four years ago has sparked an award winning passion for Yarra Junction's Chiara Thompson-Stokell.

"Mum booked a sewing lesson when I was 10 and I didn't know anything about making dresses," she said. "It all just clicked from day one and now it's my passion."

In last month's Royal Melbourne Show, Chiara won First Place in the Junior Competition - Formal Wear category, with a dress she designed and made.

The award winning dress was Chiara's first entry and is an example of the classic styles she is drawn to. "I like the cleaner colours and making elegant pieces," she said.

Asked about where she gets her inspirations

for designs, Chiara said "They just pop into my head, I draw it down and then go make it."

"I have made a couple of pieces for friends and really enjoy having a design, creating the dress and seeing it worn."

"Fashion is something I would really like to try and make a career in and that's what I want to study after secondary school.

Chiara works with mentor, Anneke Schagen, at Crumbz Craft in Healesville and finds the craft based environment a "fun place to learn in."

It seems that the combination of talent, mentoring and enthusiasm have set Chiara on the path to success in the world of fashion.

A path inspired by that surprise lesson mum, Janine, booked for her a few years back.

Grow free with Woori Primary gift cart

By Michael Doran Woori Yallock Primary School has a new community initiative, a Grow Free Cart, where everything is FREE! Assistant Principal, Flick Curnow said that the project is a great way for the students to learn about giving and taking from within their community.

"One of our parents came up with the idea to set up the cart and now it gets filled with goodies and emptied almost on a daily basis," she said.

"Our theme is that you don't have to put something in to take something out and we get all sorts put in there; fruit, vegies, jams, eggs and gardening materials."

"The cart was supplied and organised by our Parents Association and is tended to daily by school mums who have offered their time to do that."

"It's totally self-sustaining for the school as

Taylen, Serena, Ella, Flick and Bailey with the pumpkin. the parents do all the work. During the day we see some of the kids walk over to get a piece of fruit or something to snack on so it is part of school life already," she said.

Flick, a Seville resident who has been at the school for eight years, said "the cart is there to take what you need and give what you can, it's as simple as that and it works."

Cash for wine pitch A $2 million marketing campaign to attract more international visitors to Victoria's wine regions is set to start.

The Wine Victoria initiative received funding from the Federal Government's $50 million Export and Regional Wine Support Package, and another $1 million through Agriculture Victoria and wine sector partners.

"Wine Victoria's strategy will combine premium food and wine experiences with aquatic and coastal attractions, emphasising the state's natural beauty," Wine Australia CEO Andreas Clark said.

Wine Victoria executive officer Rachael Sweeney said the campaign would use the state's five pillar wine regions, including the Yarra Valley Culinary Tourism Destination.

The others are King Valley Prosecco Road, Pinot Coast, Rutherglen's Fortified Resurgence and Central Victoria's Diversity.

"We will leverage Victoria's existing competitive advantages, including high regional visitation and interest in natural assets," Ms Sweeney said.

"It's about developing specific identities across our regions that can be promoted through a range of channels, including State Government agencies and wine and tourism partners, such as Visit Victoria, Food and Wine Victoria, regional tourism boards and wine associations.

"The strategy will target the 2.8 million visitors already arriving in Melbourne ... it's a win for our wine sector.

"We will create exciting marketable tourism experiences that attract more people to the cellar door, as well as encouraging them to spend an extra night in our regions - it's a real value add for the state."

Living with chronic pain and illness

By Derek Schlennstedt Living with any chronic illness can be extremely traumatic; it is tough on your physical, mental, and emotional health and it affects the people around you.

Now, imagine living with more than one chronic illness?

Kirah Barber (23) from Healesville lives with three chronic illnesses and describes it is a fulltime job.

She regularly has to travel to other site to seek medical advice or use medical scanning facilities due to the lack of services and facilities available at Healesville Hospital.

"I'm not my illnesses, but that doesn't mean that I don't need to treat my illnesses like a full-time job because that's what they are too me right now," she said.

"I don't work or study because I have to frequently travel to services down-the-line at least once a week. " "For people where health is a full-time job whether it's themselves or their carer, it's just impractical to not have good services close by."

FribroMyalgia, Costochondritis and Endometriosis are all just a handful of the chronic illnesses Ms Barber has been burdened with since she was 16.

CARTOON

They require regular treatment and examination including MRI and CT scans.

As there are no MRI or CT facilities at Healesville Ms Barber is required to travel to Ringwood or Knox and relies on her mother to drive her due to an allergic reaction she gets from the scans.

"I have been diagnosed with Costochondritis which is inflammation of the rib cage and sternum fibro myalgia which is basically inflammation and pain everywhere, and then I also have endometriosis."

"It's definitely been frustrating."

"My mum has to take time off work to drive me to and form Knox, wait the half hour that the scan takes and so it's not only impacting me, but my family and how much they can earn, because they have to take time off to take me to scans, and take me to specialist appointments."

While Healesville Hospital does offer radiology, they currently have no CT or MRI facilities.

"At least they have X-ray facilities which I can get done at Healesville but they don't have an MRI or CT scanner," she said.

"We love living out here it's just the services aren't quite adequate."

Cire reaches out to Bali

By Michael Doran

FunFlight belted in and ready to go.

Yarra Junction's Heather Dryden extends Cire's reach to Bali.

PSPW founder.

"The foundation impacts so many lives," said Heather. "Without this sort of education and support these young people and their families would not advance in life."

Heather is happy to talk to anyone who would like more information on volunteering with PSPW, sponsoring a child or the work the group is doing.

Cire, one of the largest not-for-profits in the Yarra Ranges has locations at Yarra Junction and Mount Evelyn. The group can be contacted at www.cire.org.au

Every child can fly for fun

By Michael Doran Since 2007, hundreds of pilots from aero clubs across the country take to the sky to give sick and underprivileged children the ride of a lifetime.

On Sunday 28 October pilots from Lilydale Flying Club will be airborne and putting smiles on the faces of kids who face a range of challenges on the ground.

FunFlight has taken more than 9,000 children for a flight in a light aircraft and the registered charity's vision is that 'every child can fly'.

"The idea is to give the whole family a fun day of flying that takes their minds off their daily challenges," said David Loccisano of FunFlight. "For a lot of them this will be their first in an aeroplane."

FunFlight founder, Michael Verheem said

that there are few days like this. "It is truly amazing that everyone gives their time and effort freely and we can help bring such happiness to children who really need it," he said.

"The look on the faces of the children as they board the plane is heart-warming and when they touch down they just can't stop smiling."

"The day wouldn't be possible without the generosity of volunteer pilots, aero clubs, aviation organisations and sponsors. We have big dreams - we would like to double the number of children we reach if we had the capacity," he said.

Families that would like to be involved need to contact a local participating charity who can help find a nearby FunFlight event. All the details about that process and the day are at www.funflight.org 12402507-RA43-18

Yarra Ranges community organisation, Cire Services, has extended its reach northwards to Bali, thanks to the efforts of Heather Dryden of Yarra Junction.

Heather works with Cire's Reconnect/ Women's Warehouse and cooking programs but she took annual leave to volunteer with Peduli Sesama Philanthropic Work (PSPW) in Bali.

PSPW provides education, health services, house building projects and other support to locals experiencing economic disadvantage.

Whilst holidaying in Bali last year she visited an orphanage and came away determined to make a difference and 'do her bit' said daughter Jen Carlyon.

"Everyone is so appreciative of any support, they are happy and always give thanks even though they struggle through life," Heather said.

"It is so hard not to become emotional. I have had a lump in my throat a few times."

Cire, with the help of staff, raised $500 which Heather used to buy books and other school supplies, toiletries and food for the schools run by the foundation.

Whilst there she also dipped into her own savings to buy a wheelchair and bedding for two Balinese, bed-ridden from their harsh working lives.

Since 2010, PSPW has run a successful livein program training young people for the tourism industry. "We are so proud of our graduates who are able to help their families by going into good jobs," said Nyoman Sukadana,

Healesville’s first Random Acts of Kindness week is on its way.

Beechworth Bakery’s Kylie Bray said the idea for the project had been in her head for the past year or more.

“It’s to bring the businesses together and celebrate the great people in the town,” she said.

“We all know people who are more community-minded than most of us.

“People who don’t fly their own flag but just get in there and do what’s needed to help others, like chop an extra load of wood for the elderly lady down the road etcetera.

“Every community is better for having people like them.”

Ms Bray wants the Healesville business community to show those good Samaritans how much they’re appreciated.

The bakery is planning a month-long promotion, starting in October, asking people to nominate unsung heroes in the Healesville community – “people who not only deserve recognition but also a treat”.

There’ll be a daily winner from Monday 5 to Sunday 11 November.

“They’ll receive a fabulous pamper hamper made up of great treats and goods from local businesses to show the Healesville community’s appreciation.

“Whoever has nominated one of the winners will receive a $25 gift card from us.”

Ms Bray said a panel would choose the winners based on merit.

She said organisers would buy items from local businesses for the hampers, and encourage those businesses to make an equivalent donation.

Those businesses would be named in all promotions for the Random Acts of Kindness project, and their business card would go into the hamper.

Participating businesses will also receive nomination forms for customers to collect.

Art meets wine at Yering

By Michael Doran There is much to be admired in the work of skilled artisans and the Yarra Valley certainly has more than its share of artists of every imaginable persuasion.

The worlds of fine wine and art will again intersect when the 18th Annual Yarra Valley Arts / Yering Station Sculpture Exhibition and Awards opens on 28 October.

The event, a joint collaboration between Yarra Valley Arts and Yering Station, was first held in 2001 and is a part of the broader arts program that runs at Yering Station throughout the year.

Yering Station Art Gallery Curator, Dr. Ewen Jarvis, said the combination of art and wine is not something new.

"Art, in its many forms, and wine have had a close association dating back to the very early French vineyards," he said. "Marc Chagall said that 'great arts picks up where nature ends', and viticulture is all about nature."

"I believe this is the second longest running sculpture exhibition in Australia and we had around 80 entries this year."

"From that we have narrowed it down to 39 finalists whose work will be exhibited in the gardens and interiors of Yering Station, a stunning backdrop for works of this quality."

"In selecting a winner, we look for originality and freshness of ideas as well as a mastery of the medium the artist is working in. We receive entries in all forms of materials, such as metals, stone, plastics, light and paper."

Yering Station has been owned by Doug and Ann Rathbone since 1996 and it was the influence of Ann, an art lover, which led to the Art Gallery being created.

The sculpture exhibition takes a commission on all sales, the majority of which is donated to the Leukaemia Auxiliary Royal Children's Hospital.

Ben Fasham, Jewel de la Mer, stainless steel and bronze. (2017 Exhibition).

This charity has a close connection to the Rathbone family as son, Matthew, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1979.

The balance of commissions goes to Yarra Valley Arts, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the cultural lives of residents and visitors to the region.

The exhibition runs from 28 October to 9 December and all details can be found at www. yering.com/artgallery or from the gallery on 9730 0102.

DINING OUT

Red Relish an award winner Red Relish Cafe in Yarra Junction is renowned for its house-made pies and now has the Great Aussie Pie Competition medals to prove it.

Having a fully qualified chef on board like Adam Van Der Zwart means Red Relish produces excellent pies of many delicious flavours.

"Our pies are our biggest seller. The customers love them. We have people travelling from as far as Narre Warren just for our pies," Red Relish Cafe Owner Sue Cordina said.

"So, on the urging of our customers, we entered the 2018 Great Aussie Pie Competition."

However, having only been in business less than 12 months, Sue explained that the team at Red Relish Cafe had never heard of the Great Aussie Pie Competition, but after checking out the website, they thought, 'why not enter?'"As first-time entrants, we really weren't sure of what we were doing," Sue said.

"There was a lot of running around at the last minute, but we entered three of our bestselling pies. When the results came in we were ecstatic.

"Red relish Cafe were medal winners!

Our Chunky Beef pie won silver, our Creamy Chicken and Leek and Seeded Mustard won bronze and our Beef, Guinness and Green Peppercorn also won bronze.

"It was a wonderful reward for us, confirmation really, that our team's dedication to the quality of our food has been recognized."

For a great tasting pie, head on down to Red Relish Cafe which is located at 2/2465 Warburton Highway in Yarra Junction. They are open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch.

CFA open their doors

The mechanics of history displayed A Healesville exhibition is commemorating the town's mechanics institute.

The retrospective exhibition at Hearth Galleries, Shop 208 Maroondah Highway, Healesville, will run until 28 October.

Curator Christine Joy said mechanics institutes played a vital role in cultural and educational history.

She said many people got confused by the name, but mechanic meant artisan, craftsman or working man when they started 170 years ago.

"At a time when education was only for the privileged classes they were part of a vision for equal opportunity," she said.

"They were called free libraries because books were always available to the public, and some were on loan from the Melbourne Public Library and were delivered on horseback to Healesville in the beginning."

Healesville's mechanics institute opened in Church Street in 1892.

It was handed over in 1924 to the shire and the proceeds helped to buy the Memorial Hall.

The mechanics institute continued to operate in the Memorial Hall until 1975.

The National Trust listed Healesville's mechanics institute building for its considerable local historical and social interest.

It was over the years used as an auction room, boot-mender, doctors and dentist rooms, gymnasium and boxing, artists rooms and more.

By Michael Doran

Pam and Christine with an artwork depicting the mechanics institute, outside the now-restored Picture: ROB CAREW mechanics institute. 184757 In 1946, artists Elton Fox and Ivy Burton Fox used it as home and studio.

Ms Joy's mother, Pam Baragwanath, worked on restoring the building for two years, and opened it as a gallery and tea rooms in 1986.

Her first exhibition was a retrospective on the Fox family's works.

The current exhibition at Hearth Galleries features work from self-taught Barbara Beasley-Southgate, who paints mainly in pastels 12400350-ACM43-18

and oils these days.

She captures with true colour and clarity of vision her love of the Australian countryside.

Dorothy McVay is known and loved for her oils, and creates an imaginary world structured by the truths of nature's beauty.

Mark Phillips has spent the greater part of his life in the Yarra Valley.

He prefers to work directly from nature, mainly using oil paints or pastels.

Brigades across the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges will again open their doors to the public this year as part of the 2018 CFA Open Day program.

Tarryn Campbell, District 13 Community Education Coordinator, said, "A strong relationship between the community and emergency services is a crucial component in boosting safety and protecting life and property."

"It's a fantastic chance for our local community to meet the men and women who work hard to keep them safe from fire and help out in times of emergency."

Besides the chance to have a tour of the station and sit in a fire truck, there is the serious side of preparing for the arrival of this year's fire season.

The message from the CFA is that now is the time to prepare your family and home in the lead-up to summer and local brigades are a great source of advice and information.

"Open Days are the perfect opportunity for brigades to show the community what they do to keep everyone safe and to deliver valuable fire safety messages," Ms. Campbell said.

"For anyone who wants to find out how best to protect themselves, their family and their property from fire this summer a visit to an open day will give them everything they need."

It is also an opportune time to learn about volunteering with the CFA and how to become part of the team that protects the local community.

Open Days at Wesburn-Millgrove, Belgrave and Montrose will be on 21 October, followed

by Yellingbo, Gruyere and Chrinside Park on 28 October. Times and station details can be found at www.cfa.vic.gov.au/whatson

The excellent film has stars First Man Starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy Rated M In First Man, a historical drama about astronaut Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 Moon landing, Damien Chazelle (director of Whiplash and La-La Land) may have created the finest ever film about the Space Race.

First Man is a masterpiece of subtle character depth and storytelling efficiency.

The film is highly technical while still being accessible to general audiences, and compresses nearly a decade of arduous tests, setbacks and disasters into a swift, enthralling 138 minutes.

Ryan Gosling delivers his trademark subtle gravitas as Neil Armstrong, portraying a quiet, reserved man whose dedication to the Apollo program borders on obsession. Claire Foy is riveting as Neil's wife Janet, a woman of dignified melancholy who is frustrated by Neil's emotional distance and the extreme peril in

his space missions.

In framing the narrative around the tragic loss of Neil's daughter Karen to cancer, First Man elegantly compares the historic challenges in space exploration to the everyday rigours of raising a family.

The spaceflight sequences carry a balletic grace, but the claustrophobic interior settings and stark, booming sound design fill these sequences with terrifying awe.

Beautiful and unimaginably suspenseful, First Man achieves both grand spectacle and poignant intimacy better than almost any other film this year.

Wandin field of dreams

By Michael Doran Over two days, the 49th Wandin-Silvan Field Days again attracted large numbers of visitors and over 160 exhibitors. The pathways were crowded with organisers estimating attendance to be more than 4,500.

President of the organising committee, William Anker, said the show continued to attract new exhibitors, both locally and from interstate.

"We have had a lot of interest from new exhibitors, especially for the Lifestyle and Information Pavilion, a new feature for this year," he said.

"The pavilion has really helpful exhibits, like government departments, drones, spas right though to handmade soaps and homewares. About 20 percent of our exhibitors are here for the first time so demand for space is really healthy."

"Also we get a lot of help from the community and we are proud that we share the gate takings with the volunteers who provide the service," he said. "This year it is Silvan, Seville and Gruyere CFA and Wandin East Badminton Club."

Saturday is family day and it ranks highly on the annual list of things to do in the area. One family taking it all in were the Johnson's from Wandin and mum Sarah said "Will and Angus look forward to this day all year."

"This is a big day on the kid's calendar and they want to be here bang on 8.30am. It is a great community and family event that brings everyone together for a fun day," she said.

Whilst this year has been another great success, plans are now underway for the 50-year anniversary in 2019.

"It's amazing that a little event like this can be around for 50 years and we are really looking to making next year a special occasion," William Anker said.

The Pet Show had all sizes and shapes.

Plenty of interest at the Field Day.

Mount Evelyn’s good spin

By Chris Anderson Yarra Valley Cricket Association (YVCA) Round 1 13 October Brilliant condition greeted cricketers across the Yarra Valley in their return to a summer of cricket action.

This season sees a return to a more traditional structure with the competition’s top grade, DJ Strachan Shield, containing six teams battling it out over 10 one-day games and five two-day games.

The RA Finger Trophy now has a combination of 10 1st and 2nd XI teams battling it out over the same season structure.

In DJ Strachan Shield, defending champions Mount Evelyn made a positive start, recording a tidy seven-wicket victory at home over Yarra Glen.

Yarra Glen batted first and was put on the back foot early as openers David Brambilla and Dale Baertschiger crashed heavily, resulting in the run-out of Baertschiger and a heavy concussion to Brambilla, forcing him to sit out most of the remainder of the game.

Yarra Glen captain Andy Cowan (20) and Lachlan Crawford (34) teamed for a useful and steadying 52-run partnership, but with Cowan losing his wicket just before tea, the innings gradually lost its momentum.

Luke Jones (2/29) and Kane Jones (3/24) heaped the pressure on the River Pigs batsmen as their middle order couldn’t maintain the resistance and 7/85, when Crawford lost his wicket, the innings looked destined for an early finish.

The tail wagged with the assistance of some sloppy bowling and managed to push the total out to a useful 142.

Chad Witherdin chimed in with 3/24 to finish things off for the Mounters.

On a fast Mount Evelyn ground, the total looked a little light on.

Corey Parrant removed Andrew Giblin in the first over, giving Yarra Glen the perfect start.

New recruit John O’Donnell was then forced from the field after copping a blow to the head, leaving things a little wobbly at the top for the home team.

Consecutive half-century partnerships between Jon Williams and Kane Jones (24), then Williams and Jesse Fraser (33*) at quick pace ensured the wobble would be only temporary.

Williams’ half-century anchored a clinical reply as the Mounters passed the total in the 24th over and with seven wickets in hand.

Corey Parrant was the pick of the Yarra Glen bowlers with figures of 2/45.

Last season’s runners-up, Warburton-Millgrove, also started its 2018/19 campaign with a victory, hosting Healesville.

Healesville batted first and maintained enough momentum for much of the innings to post a competitive total of 9/159.

Stuart Thompson (3/25) and Noah Andrue-

za (2/44) kept things tight early for the Burras, while crucial contributions from Jayden Lawry (58) and Ash Hamer (36) ensured the Bloods would post a competitive total despite some coughing and spluttering due to regular wickets.

Young star Bailey Humphrey ensured there would be no late innings flurry, capturing impressive figures of 3/1 to keep the score manageable.

After losing captain Sean Humphrey early, Warburton-Millgrove was able to maintain its grip on the contest despite some good bowling from Healesville.

Contributions from Finn Saurine (21), Shane Abblitt (30) and Ben Lever (23) kept the Burras in front of the contest, but losing their wickets when in meant the Bloods were always only a step away from busting the contest wide open.

In close contests, experience is quite often the key, and Adam Humphrey kept a cool head guiding his team to victory on the back of a composed innings of 40 not-out.

Warburton-Millgrove was able to pass the total in the 37th over with four wickets in hand.

Dermott Fry (2/33) and Tom Dalley (2/36) were the pick of the Healesville bowlers.

In the final game of the round, Yarra Junction prevailed in a low-scoring arm-wrestle against Seville.

Seville batted first and was on the back foot from the outset with the fall of early wickets.

Contributions from Marcus Smith (27), Tyson McKenzie (39) and Tim Dwyer (23) gave the innings some depth, but when the whips were cracking through the final overs, they found themselves in the pavilion and the innings lacked a late order flourish.

At the end of 40 overs, Seville had posted 7/127 - a small total, but definitely defendable on a slow Yarra Junction ground.

Brad Nightingale led the Eagles’ attack with tidy figures of 4/22 which ultimately reined the Blues in.

In return, Yarra Junction found the going

just as difficult, as regular wickets continually stalled its progress.

Like Seville, the Eagles had useful contributors such as Josh Nightingale (33), Mark Mallick (32) and Marcel Kocher (27), but without any of them kicking on the Eagles’ innings was always on the fine edge of collapse.

Fine bowling from Matt Hadlum (3/48), Jesse Cook (2/20) and Tyson McKenzie (2/29) defended the total with a miserly control.

In a thrilling finish, and with batsmen running out, the Eagles posted a heart-stopping victory with just one wicket in hand.

With the season in its infancy, new participants are warmly welcomed.

Cricketers young and old looking for a game can head to playcricket.com.au to find out about local clubs and what they have to offer.

Umpires are always in high demand, and anyone interested in getting involved in the cut and thrust of the action, and getting paid for their efforts should email YVCA secretary Keith Thompson at keiththompson@bigpond. com.

Scores are dropping as the course hands over metres

By Ron Hottes The course is giving up many metres to every well-hit shot, so Warburton Golf Club scores are improving every week.

With 42 sensational points, Ken 'One-eye' Barratt snuck in for a well-deserved win in the Wednesday 10 October stableford competition.

Just behind him on 41 was Kevin Conway.

Balls went down to only 36.

The nearest the pin winners were John Robinson with a brilliant second shot on the first, CHB on the ninth and John Pote on the 15th.

Twilight has begun again, welcomed in by a field of 29 eager-beavers.

Neil Leckenby won, only on a countback, but with 23 impressive points.

He pipped Steve Patrick, whose score was boosted by an eagle on the difficult second, making for a two for six points.

Balls went to 18. Nearest the pins were 22 MAIL

Tuesday, 16 October, 2018

won by Robbo on the third, Andy Sweet on the ninth and a delightful second shot by Kim Kennedy on the first.

In the Saturday 13 October stableford, AGrade went to Steve Wyatt with 42 impressive points.

Alan 'AJ' Johnston collected the B-Grade voucher with an equally-impressive 42 points The runner-up title went to Lance Atwell with a none-too-shabby 41 points.

With all these great scores, balls only went down to 36.

Ellen Pollock is a visitor to the Warburton course on regular occasions.

A great mate of Kim Kennedy's and longtime golfing partner with Jon Cross, Ellen is a most impressive golfer, playing off a good golfer's handicap - of seven.

She must be good because she aced the most challenging Par-3 on our course - the fifth.

Fortunately, the group in front saw it roll

into the hole, leaving Ellen and her four in no doubt of the result.

Of course, she won the nearest the pin on that hole.

Other winners were Lee Patrick on the third, David Scott on the ninth, Junior Cross on the 12th and Luke Patrick on the 15th.

It warms the hearts of most golfers to see someone new to the game win their first daily comp.

It is even more pleasing when that person happens to be - your wife.

Vicki Hottes had her best stroke round EVER to snatch the voucher from two other low-scoring players in the Wednesday 3 October competition.

Vicki shot a sensational nett 64, (108 offthe-stick) to just pip Murchie, also on 64.

Mario De Vincentis can think himself unlucky, as he also had a 64 to finish third in the countback, only scoring one measly ball.

The ball rundown went to 68 - at least this

scribe got one of those.

Nearest the pins went to Ossie McClay on the third, 'Old Man River' Hubbard on the 10th and to Ms Nursey on the 12th.

On Saturday 6 October, Luke Patrick found out that hitting off early had its advantages.

He shot par for the course (a 69) to win the Medal and A-Grade with a superb nett 62.

B-Grade went to 'that old evergreen' Ralph Logan, with a very impressive nett 67.

Geoff Fall was the day's runner-up with a great 66.

Low scores meant that balls only got down to 70 - this scribe missed out with a 71.

Nearest the pins were won by Danny Fox on the third, Angus Smith on the fifth, Luke Patrick on the ninth, Neil-Leckenby on the 12th and Tex Van Der Kooi on the 15th.

The Captain's Trophy was played on the same day, and new member Leigh Creedy came out the winner. mailcommunity.com.au

Burras bowl a win away

Records, smiles and sunshine too

By Jamie Strudley Excellent conditions greeted Yarra Ranges Athletics Club athletes for the second round of the summer track and field season at Morrison Reserve.

With school holidays out of the way, athletes turned up in greater numbers across all age groups.

This week's program saw the return of the high jump, javelin and hurdle events for the first time this season.

It was also the round for the 1500m, the longest race in the junior season.

Highlights were the record-breaking run by under-14 girls athlete Kiara Flavel, taking more than 20 seconds off the old record to run a time of 5min 1sec, and the under-10 athletes tackling this distance for the first time.

A number of age groups got to compete in the sprint and long jump events once again, giving them an opportunity for an early season personal best, to set them on the pathway of improvement as the summer progresses.

Earlier in the week, several Yarra Ranges Athletics members competed for their school as part of the School Sports Victoria District Athletics championships.

The Yarra Ranges Athletics senior team competed at various venues across Victoria on Saturday in AV Shield competition.

Final team results are not available, however some very strong performances from all athletes will certainly result in some good team points.

Standout performances were a 20 second PB to Camden Hewitson on 2000m steeplechase, a sub-2 minute 800m for Harrison Van Duuren, and a new athlete competing for the first time, congratulations Richard.

Next week the seniors head to either Casey

Fields or Williamstown for round three of the AV Shield.

Sunday saw a few athletes compete in events at the Melbourne Marathon festival on what became a very hot day.

Graham Coutts didn't quite beat the sun in, running 3 hours 13 minutes for the 42.2km distance.

Max Savill-Bentley ran a solid race in the elite half-marathon recording 1 hour 22 minutes.

James Anderson (10km) and Seamus Dywer (5km) also put in some solid performances.

Athletes interested in competing can contact the club on join@yarrarangesathletics.org.au.
