Let there be lights By Casey Neill A $20 million project will bring two sets of traffic lights to Coldstream and duplicate part of the Maroondah Highway. Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a $121 million investment in congestion-busting infrastructure on Thursday 7 February. Casey MP Tony Smith visited Coldstream on Friday to celebrate the Coldstream project with locals who've been campaigning for change. "Maroondah Highway is the key gateway to the Yarra Valley," he said. "When completed, the project will not only reduce congestion and improve safety for local residents and businesses, but also for those who commute from Yarra Glen and Healesville each day, and for the millions of tourists who drive through Coldstream to visit the Yarra Valley." Mr Smith said he'd worked closely with Yarra Ranges Council to devise the "state-ofthe-art fix" for safety and congestion concerns, particularly the council's environment and engineering director Mark Varmalis. "With the material Mark's put together I've been able to argue very strongly with government ministers that this is a priority," he said. The duplication will extend from the Melba Highway to Ingram Road. The traffic lights will be installed at the Killara Road-Station Street intersection and the Gateway estate entrance. "The road will be safer. Everyone will benefit," Mr Smith said. He thanked the locals who gathered at Killara Road on Friday for putting their voice to the issue. He said consultation and planning would start in the near future. Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson kept his words to Mr Smith short and sweet. "Thank-you for listening. Thank-you for acting," he said. He said Ryrie Ward councillor Fiona McAllister had been a pleasant but persistent voice on the topic. "It has been a long conversation," she confirmed.
Advocates for change to this Coldstream stretch of the Maroondah Highway welcome a cash boost. She said exiting Killara Road or Station Street on a weekend could take up to 20 minutes, and said Coldstream Fire Brigade - located on Killara Road - had been a strong voice alongside traders and residents. Evelyn MP Bridget Vallence said during last year's election campaign that a Liberal State Government would fund the project. She said she couldn't get a pledge across the line from the Labor State Government. Local Malcolm Rickarby said the announcement was fabulous.
"But this is not the worst bottleneck in the district," he said. He and several other locals said the duplication should extend to the Warburton Highway. Coldstream CFA captain Sean Bethell said he was extremely pleased that the project was actually going ahead. "It's going to help the brigade and the community to get access in and out of these streets," he said. He said vehicles waiting to turn right onto Maroondah Highway clogged the network, so often
resorted to turning left and performing U-turns. "With this happening between the Melba Highway and Ingram Road, I hope the State Government will fund the rest to Warburton Highway," he said. "It would be nice to have it all the way to the Warburton Highway." Coldstream Voice's Kevin Ryan collected thousands of signatures on a petition that was presented to State Parliament last year. He said 17,000 vehicles used the stretch every day.

Geoff Sands took this great shot of eastern grey kangaroos play-fighting in his Emerald back yard. He was about 50 metres away from their tousle, which only lasted about five minutes. Geoff has seen up to nine roos on his 20-acre property at one time but this was the first time he’d seen them fight.

LETTERS I am a resident of Toolangi and I am writing to express my deepest concern with the continuing practice of clear fell logging. For several years now I have been advocating for the protection of our iconic forests in a Great Forest National Park. Readers of this newspaper and community members of our local townships are being impacted by this practice. 'How?' you might ask. Logging increases fire severity. There is peer-reviewed science that supports this in the papers of Wilson, Philip Zylstra and Chris Taylor, David Lindenmeyer and Michael McCarthy as well as Emeritus Professor Michael Feller (Chum Creek resident). Despite it now being the 10-year anniversary of Black Saturday the government is continuing to clear fell log forests adjacent to rural communities. For example, up the end of Exton's road, Kinglake and soon to be started three areas known as The Castella Coupes. These abut a 400 acre privately owned forest with a trust for nature overlay on it. This parcel of land in Castella is only kilometres from a family-run horse riding business, farms and private homes and is northwest of the townships of Castella and Toolangi. This is completely unacceptable given that our communities have been through Black Saturday, which took so many lives. I urge the government to err on the side of caution even if they don't agree with the overwhelming science that concludes that logging increases fire severity. Surely minimising the risk to human life far
outweighs the need to cut down our native forest to produce 86.4 per cent pulp. In these coupes there has also been found an extensive population of the endangered greater gliders which, despite their fragile survival, still have not been given an action statement for their protection some 18 months after being declared endangered. In Castella there is also an endangered species of fish called barred galaxias in the planned clear fell. Once the forest protection is gone these animals will lose their homes and most probably will not survive. It would seem a lot more sensible to me to preserve the forest and preserve life for all of us, for the future. Gayle Cole, Eltham
Black Saturday ant Ants. Those tiny black buggers. Argentine ants. They drive me crazy. They're everywhere. Inside and out. I know that rain will deter them somewhat. Can calm them down a bit. It's been desperately dry here for yonks. I used to know not to expect the goddesses to weep on any day when there was heaps of dew at dawn. Years ago. Not any more. The dew is on strike. What's going on? Climate change is thumbing its nose at us. What to do? Search me. The ants are after me. I'm now a paranoid old crone. Granny
would be stroking me lovingly. Talcum powder surrounds the pet food bowl. Ants won't walk over talc. (There's your trivia for today.) The plug stays religiously in the sinkhole even when there are no dishes. I know not to leave out a single speck of anything edible. Put the lot in the fridge instantly. An ant will even sticky-beak where my scrupulously spotless finger has tenuously opened the fridge. There's something delicious about human skin. Jesus wept. What a hopeless battle. Wipe. Soak. Scrub. I'm a boring old so-and-so. No fun at all to visit. Of course you're yawning. You won't stay for a drink. You've got to escape. This any bush telegraph is relentless. A lone ant scout will investigate any pristine surface. Smiling. Grinning. Raucous laughter. It licks its lips. It calls in the army. Instant invasion. Tribal hordes. Magnetic ant fingers gleefully stick to pristine vertical smooth surfaces. No worries. Gravity doesn't drag them down. The place can be clean enough for a real estate ad. Little black buggers follow in army rows. Slurping curiously. Up and down they play. Lone rangers break away to investigate elsewhere. Bloody hell! A single dude appreciates where I turned the page in any old book. Read it months ago. Still tastes great to the odd bookworm ant. Another finds a hollow to curl up in for an exhausted snooze. OK. The shower screen is just right for a gang of 'em. Help.

It's 10 years since the Black Saturday fires engulfed us all. I battled here for 16 hours. The tractor laboured down to the dry-asa-bone vineyard dam eight times through the night. Its glass and metal had melted but the engine still wanted to play. Thank goddesses. We lusted after any water from the sad puddles. Prayed for another one. Dispiriting drought. Overwhelming adrenaline meant I had no human emotions. No fear. I was a powerless little black ant. The Garden Fairy, Steels Creek.

Black Saturday 10 years on Reflecting together Special commemorative edition
By Casey Neill Hundreds of people gathered in Yarra Glen's McKenzie Reserve to mark 10 years since Black Saturday struck the town and so many others. Yarra Ranges Council hosted the commemorative service for its residents on Thursday 7 February. The threat of lightning and rain forced the crowd inside the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall. Mayor Tony Stevenson apologised for the cramped conditions, but said the strong turnout was indicative of the community's strength. He acknowledged the emergency services to enthusiastic applause, as well as the people who lost their lives in the fires and those who chose not to attend. "I think it's important to acknowledge those not in the room," he said. Dixon's Creek Primary School students spoke about their award-winning Firestick project. They worked with Wurundjeri elders to understand the role of fire in the Australian environment.
Mary Clavero from Anglicare and Jodie Bowker from EACH helped Raelene Gill after she lost her house on Black Saturday. 189868 "We've learnt that not all fires are bad, which was quite a relief to some of us after Black Saturday," one student said. They also spoke at the state service for Black Saturday held on Monday 4 February. Councillor Len Cox was mayor in February 2009. "It doesn't seem like 10 years to me," he said.
He said it made him proud to see the community come together in the aftermath. "That's what needs to be remembered," he said. "They reckon disaster brings out the best in people and in many ways it does, you know." Cr Fiona McAllister said the community remembered "with love, joy and deep sadness those who are no longer with us". She said many people affected by the Black Saturday fires still spoke about their lives in terms of before and after the event. "For them, a line was drawn," she said. "I think it's about healing and finding a new rhythm of healing. "You've found a new normal." Cr McAllister also acknowledged the SES and CFA. "I give huge thanks not only for what they did on that day, but what they continue to do and what they're haunted by," she said. The Badger Creek Women's Choir performed.
The accidental author tells quite a tale By Michael Doran Melanie Harris-Brady barely escaped the Kinglake fires on Black Saturday and didn't talk about it for nine and a half years. Then, for reasons she is not entirely sure of, she sat down and in the space of a few hours thousands of words poured out that formed the basis for her recently published book, 'Ten Years On.' "I got sick of feeling grumpy all the time so thought I would start a blog about what I had been through," she said. "I started at 10pm with a bottle of wine and some chocolate and by 2.30am I had 8000 words written and the bottle was empty. "I had bottled so much up over all those years that when it all was in front of me it was quite cathartic and it felt good to release all of those emotions." There were more than 2100 homes destroyed on Black Saturday and Melanie's home, which she shared with daughter Keeley and family dog Max, disappeared in minutes as she drove for her life to escape the inferno engulfing her street. It was in the midst of this panic stricken drive that she remembered Max had been left behind and turned the car around to head back. "There was a convoy of cars coming towards me and one of them blocked me and forced me to turn back and get out of there. "My first husband and Keeley's dad, Adam, died of cystic fibrosis in 2007 and he had given me Max as a present. The guilt was worse than losing the house and the grief was unbearable, it took years before I was able to say his name out loud. "We loved living in Kinglake but after the

fires I wanted to get off the mountain. Keeley said no; she wanted to gome home to where her friends were and her memories came from. "I placed a self-imposed media ban on anything to do with the fires. I didn't want to know, see, hear or relive anything about that day and I haven't spoken about it much at all until now." After the fires author, Arnold Zable, went to Kinglake to talk with people and record their stories on a CD. Melanie locked hers away, waiting for the day Keeley would come and ask her "Mum, what happened that day?" "Many people have heard bits of the story but Arnold was the only one who was given the whole insight into what happened on the day from beginning to end." What sets Melanie apart from the thousands of others who were displaced or affected by the fires is that she has put everything about
that day and its aftermath, both physically and emotionally, on public display in her book. "I think it was just too bottled up and didn't fit with where I am today and I had shielded Keeley to protect her. After reading it she said she had no idea what I had been through and that was when I thought I had done my job as her mum. "I reached out to Arnold Zabe during the writing and he said that writing is an act of expression and expression literally means 'getting it out'. What I have discovered over the years is that in getting it out we begin to work it out." Melanie found love again, is married to Anthony and Keeley has a brother, Oscar to share the new house they built on the Kinglake block. For ten years she turned to her grandmother's jam and chutney recipes for therapy and makes loads of passata every seventh of February.
IN BRIEF Fatal crash in Castella Police are investigating a single vehicle fatal crash in Castella on 5 February. The 38-year-old male, and only occupant, died at the scene. It is believed the car has struck a tree on Gordons Bridge Road just after 11.30pm. This brings the road toll up to 31, compared to 22 this time last year and police are urging all road users to put safety first. "We all know that speed and impairment are among the biggest killers on our roads, so it's astounding to see so many motorists exceeding the speed limit or driving after drinking or using drugs," Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said. "Last year saw a record low number of lives lost in Victoria, with 214, but the tragic start to 2019 shows that we can't afford to be complacent." Any witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact senior constable Aaron Walton at Kilmore Police on 5782 1211. Alternative you can also contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
Grace period over Children's safety when being picked up and dropped off at school is everyone's responsibility, says Yarra Ranges Council. Primary and secondary students across the shire are now back at school so school zone speed restrictions are again in place. Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson encouraged everyone to do their bit and make sure the year got off to a safe start. "Watch out for children walking to and from school and always observe the speed limit - especially during school pick up and drop off time," he said. "Council's crossing supervisors will be helping to guide children and families on their walks to and from school, but everyone can do their bit to help make sure our kids get some safely. "Safety can be as simple as getting your kids in and out by the kerbside door at drop-offs and pick- ups so they're clear of traffic, supervising children near traffic, walking or cycling to school with them, and driving carefully." Cr Stevenson said council officers had been visiting schools at the start and end of the day to talk to parents about parking regulations and appropriate areas to park. "Parking in appropriate spots and using the right pick up and drop off zones has a big impact on safety for kids and other pedestrians," he said. "School visitors should get familiar with parking regulations at their school and the best place to drop off and pick up kids - if you're unsure, have a chat to your school. "We have a grace period for the first two weeks of the school year so we can get to know families, help them find the best way to navigate the sometimes-stressful pick up and drop off times and give them an easy start to the year." The grace period was to end on Monday 11 February.

Cut chronic stress to heal perience but nowadays many people are dealing with chronic stressors, at work, at home, at school and with 24/7 living. The body gets stuck in sympathetic overdrive which results in negative health effects - inflammation, acidosis, digestive complaints, malabsorption, hypertension, brain fog, depression and anxiety as well as low-
ered immune response. This makes your body a perfect environment for a serious disease to take hold. However, there is a lot you can do to influence and modulate that response. Adjusting your internal environment will allow your body to invite back health and wellness. It's also important to be gentle on yourself, knowing that with chronic stress can come despondency and lethargy. Seek out a health professional that can help you map out a detailed and comprehensive holistic plan. Here are some tips to get you started: Be proactive and responsible for the direction of your health. Change your diet, ensuring it is 95 per cent nutrient dense with an emphasis on plantbased whole foods and avoid unnecessary stimulants like caffeine, alcohol, sugar and energy drinks.
Identify and correct any nutritional deficiencies or malabsorption issues. Release suppressed emotions (psychotherapy and counselling). Increase positive emotions and thought patterns. Relaxation techniques like meditation and yoga. Intentional daily exercise improves quality of sleep and help release nervous energy. If you think chronic stress is affecting your health, it might be a wonderful opportunity to employ some gentle and effective strategies to rebalance and reawaken your body's innate ability to heal. If you are unsure of how to begin or what changes you need, consult a qualified health professional for a personally-tailored approach.

Chronic stress is a major factor that inhibits the body's natural ability to repair and selfheal. All chronic illness is affected to some degree by sympathetic (nervous system) dominance which results in physical, emotional and chemical stress to your body. By nourishing and supporting the nervous system with a holistic approach it is possible to shift the body back into a state of balance that is perfectly adept to heal. Understanding how your body is designed to adapt to stress can be helpful. An acute stressor, for example being chased by a dog, will activate your body's fight or flight response, mobilising energy to your muscles, increasing your heart rate and respiratory output. The adrenal glands produce adrenaline and noradrenaline, and cortisol levels rise. This response is perfect for a short-lived ex-

Safer together in summer By Michael Doran In a timely reminder that summer and bushfire season has a long way to go, Healesville Community Bushfire Group is holding its next meeting on 20 February and invites anyone interested in bushfire awareness to come along. Living in an area that is at extreme risk of bushfire means that residents of townships like Badger Creek, Chum Creek and Healesville need to be bushfire fire aware and connected in order to better prepare for, respond to and recover when a bushfire occurs.
DELWP officer and Chum Creek resident, Joy Harte is a Community Partnerships Support Officer for Yarra District. "Having lived in Chum creek for 44 years I have a personal interest in bushfire preparedness in the area," she said. "Our aim is to empower communities to be actively involved in decision making that directly affects their community." The Healesville Community Bushfire Group consists of both community and fire agency members and comes together to complement existing programs and initiatives already being undertaken by fire agencies, as well as explor-
ing and implementing new initiatives where appropriate. So far, the group has organised a successful event called 'Living with Fire' that saw 200 locals learn from CSIRO scientist Justin Leonard about the vulnerability of houses during bushfires and the best way of increasing the chances of a house still standing after a bushfire by householder improvements to the house and the immediate surrounds. Other current and potential actions that are being considered by the group include a fuel management plan for Chum Creek, a commu-
nity networking event and working with traders about planning, should a bushfire impact the township. "We encourage any residents from the greater Healesville area to join us and share their knowledge and ideas about Living with Fire in our area," Ms Harte said. The next meeting is on Wednesday 20 February at the Darron Honey Centre, 286 Maroondah Hwy Healesville from 7-9pm. All are welcome and for more information contact Joy on 5965 9923 or email joy.harte@delwp.vic.gov. au

Its an old saying but a very true one “You don’t know what you’ve got till its gone”. For the last few years what was an icon of the Yarra Valley the “Sam Knott Hotel” closed and left quite a void in the social fabric of the upper yarra valley. With love and elbow grease this iconic venue has risen back to life resurrecting its original name, the “Warburton Hotel”. New owners Andrew and Naree have recently taken up the challenge in this historic venue that the locals have been enjoying since 1863, and plan to continue with the hallmarks of all great watering holes - cold beer, and great meals at great prices in a friendly atmosphere. So, if you want a great dining experience with all your old pub favourites as well as modern cuisine, get in and check out the Menu and bring along friends and family for a truly enjoyable lunch or night out from the bistro, bar or Alfresco beer garden. Meals are available every day of the week from 12 noon till 8.30pm, and the spacious, well-appointed bistro is perfect for large groups, functions, birthdays and weddings, and showcases the original brickwork and rustic charm of yesteryear with a modern twist. Come in and meet the new team at the “Warburton Hotel” and see why this grand old hotel is back, and back to stay. Tuesday, 12 February, 2019

The Black Spur was closed in both directions on Wednesday 6 February after a truck rolled down an embankment near Fernshaw. Emergency services were called to the scene about 9.25am and two heavy haulage vehicles had to remove the prime mover. The driver was uninjured, Lilydale Highway Patrol Leading Senior Constable Chad Bullock said. “The driver has come around a right-hand bend and claims that another truck was coming in the opposite direction,“ he said. "As this road is quite tight he has come around the bend and his trailer has dropped off to the left and has pulled the truck down with it. “Not claiming anyone is at fault here except perhaps the width of the road.” The truck is believed to have been carrying turf products.

ENTERTAINMENT
Teen talent time By Michael Doran Exams are well behind most students but four Upper Yarra teenagers are about to put their work on display and face the music in a very public way. They have been working on the organisation and production of 'Tender Tonalities and Mysterious Melodies', the launch event for the 2019 River Folk Festival. The four, Adam, Ollie, Safin and Tali, make up the Upper Yarra Youth Events Team, and will be putting into practice what they have learnt from a 'Youth Events Management' program. Coordinator Sam Watson says the group has been working together since December and that there has been nothing theoretical about what they have been doing. "We received a grant from Yarra Ranges Council last year to do a program called 'Youth Events Management and Music Mentoring' and we did the mentoring part during the 2018 River Folk Festival. "We paired up three young musicians to spend time with and be mentored by professional performers who were playing at the festival. These three got to play a set onstage, which was a great way for them to get the feel of live performing. "The events management part was put together on the basis of the students learning and then doing as the five weeks progressed. They have worked on everything related to getting this event organised, including funding, sponsorship, artistic programming, insurances, risk management and all the technical aspects. It is all their own work and they will be running the event on the night. Featuring will be award-winning international songstress Dana Sipos from Canada and Melbourne folk duo, Charm of Finches. A collection of young, local talent will be presented under the banner of Upper Yarra Emerging Artist Showcase and making their debut will be local trio Amarelo, comprising siblings Jayda,
Sir Elton John.
Elton’s last Yarra Valley show is set
Jayda, Safin and Tali are Amarelo. 190057 Tali and Safin. Tali and Safin are part of the event organising team and Tali designed the colourful flyer promoting the night. Jayda Holman won the Year 7- 8 category in the Australian Children's Music Foundation
National Songwriting Competition in 2018 and with her siblings performs in the family band, 'Woody's World'. The event is on Saturday 16 February from 6-10pm at St. Mary's Church in Warburton. Tickets at the door are Adult $25, Concession $15 and Under 18 free.
Ella’s flying solo at Gaytimes Festival By Casey Neill Ella Hooper is headed for Marysville's Gaytimes Festival. The Killing Heidi front woman told the Mail that attendees at the two-day queer extravaganza could expect a selection of her solo tracks. "It's time for Ella. I keep them separate," she said when asked if any Killing Heidi tunes would make the set list. "It's a slightly different vibe. "It's still high-energy. It's definitely something fans of Killing Heidi do like." She said crowds could expect "colourful retro rock" with Fleetwood Mac and Divinyls vibes. "It's a good show. I've got a smoking-hot band," Ella said.
"We throw in a few covers as well." Gaytimes' return to Lake Mountain from 15 to 17 February marks its fourth iteration. "I'm stoked to be there. I've got some really good friends on the line-up," Ella said. "That demographic has always been really into my music. "I've grown up in a really forward-thinking, liberal household and had many gay friends and neighbours. "I see myself as an ally, even though I'm not gay myself." Gaytimes will also feature yoga, workshops, fun and games, camping, glamping, cocktail bars, speciality coffee, food trucks and more and it's BYO. When Ella spoke to the Mail, she was on the Gold Coast and days away from finding out if she'd be headed for Israel to represent Austra-

lia at Eurovision. The public vote was to take place on 9 February "It is very different for me," she said. "SBS tapped me on the shoulder and said 'we have an amazing song, we want a rock chick, we want a powerful woman to get up and do her rocking thing'." She's singing Data Dust, written by 24-yearold composer Alice Chance. Ella said singing someone else's song was definitely adjustment, but had an element of fun. "You can play a role a bit more. It stretches you in a different way," she said. "It makes you more of a performer. "I do really love the lyrics though. I wouldn't have sung it if I didn't back the song."
Sir Elton John is returning to the Yarra Valley for one of his final ever shows in Australia. He'll play A Day on the Green at Rochford on Friday 21 January next year as part of the 15-date Australian leg of his global Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. "Elton's continuing love affair with Australia knows no bounds, proven by this farewell tour, and the breadth and depth of the itinerary, showing his commitment to his many Australian fans," promoter Michael Chugg said. "On his very last tour, he wanted to return to some of his favourite cities, while also playing for fans in a couple of never-before-visited locations." Sir Elton John said: "I always love coming back to Australia. Ever since my first visit in 1971 it has held a very special place in my heart." Audiences will experience a rare glimpse into Elton's life and the deeply personal meaning behind some of his greatest hits through images and videos from his 50-year career displayed throughout the show. Longstanding band members will join him. Drummer Nigel Olsson was part of Elton's original three-piece band in 1970, and musical director and guitarist Davey Johnstone first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band a year later. Ray Cooper and John Mahon will be on percussion, Matt Bissonette will play bass, and Kim Bullard will be on keyboards. Elton has played 4000-plus shows in more than 80 countries since his career started in 1969, including 196 shows to more than 1.5 million people in Australia. "I'm ecstatic and humbled to continue to play for audiences across the globe," he said. "I plan to bring to my final tour the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for decades. "It's the most produced and fantastic show I've ever done. I want to go out with a bang." Presale tickets go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 13 February. Visit www.adayonthegreen.com.au.
Engrossing journey for all
Movies at Healesville and Warburton

Picture: GREG GORMAN
On The Basis Of Sex is an enthralling, superbly-crafted biopic about the early career of lawyer and US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones). Director Mimi Leder deftly merges internal and external conflict for a tense, engrossing narrative. Ginsburg’s 1970 landmark first case, which concerns inconsistencies in caregiver tax deduction, may prove her as a lawyer, but also sets a powerful precedent for further challenging gender discrimination and ensuring equal treatment for American women. Ginsburg’s intellect and passion for justice shine brightly through a dignified, bold performance from Jones, but she faces constant mockery, underestimation and open misogy-
ny within her male-dominated field, and even from friends and allies. With the personal and universal stakes of this case clearly-established, these obstacles render the film intensely suspenseful. On The Basis Of Sex has steady camerawork (which is becoming a rarity these days), subtle lighting and rich, authentic atmosphere. The film also features a gratifying subplot between Ginsburg and her headstrong daughter Jane (Caitlin Spaney) as they both teach each other new perspectives on activism and justice. The intro, slowly revealing Ginsburg amid a sea of men entering Harvard and the bravado song 10,000 Men of Harvard, succinctly and wordlessly establishes her pride, dedication to come and the masculine culture she will confront. On The Basis Of Sex is a personal journey with an epic, historic scope, and a film of staggering tension and artistic focus. - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au
Black Saturday
10 years on
Special commemorative edition
An eye on disaster By Casey Neill CFA firefighter and photographer Keith Pakenham has been reflecting on the 2009 bushfires - not just Black Saturday. Fires were already burning at Churchill and Callignee in the Gippsland area when the devastating blazes started on 7 February, he said. That’s where the famous image of the koala drinking from a firefighter’s water bottle came from. “It was not the Black Saturday fires,” he said. “We had fires all over Victoria for weeks.” On Black Saturday itself Keith started his day in the Labertouche area. “I could hear the radio squawking all day long,” he said. “It wasn’t just where you were that was burning. “It was Victoria that was well alight. “Rather than a bushfire, it really was a fire storm.” Later in the day he fought a grass fire that took hold in Narre Warren South and destroyed several houses. Post-Black Saturday, a bushfire took hold in Birdsland Reserve in Belgrave Heights, destroyed Upper Ferntree Gully Fire Brigade’s near-new truck and almost claimed the lives of three firefighters. “They got caught in the wind change that carried through there,” Keith said.
CFA firefighter and photographer Keith Pakenham. “That had massive potential of taking out all the houses down there.” The CFA veteran said he saw “an incredible outpouring of community” during this dark period. Businesses offered goods and services free of charge and individuals made donations and volunteered support. “You do see the good that can come from these disasters,” he said. Keith said the potential for losing lives to bushfire was increasing as more people established homes in the bush. “Unless you’ve actually been directly in amongst a fire, people can’t understand how quick it comes, the noise, the disorientation your body gets because of the thick smoke and the strong wind,” he said. “Your eyes are burning and stinging.
“The smoke is so thick you’re choking and coughing. “People get disoriented on the roads they’ve driven on a thousand times. “That’s when the panic sets in. “You can’t wait until that last second and flee. You need to make a plan.” He urged people living in bush areas to clear vegetation and wood from around their property for the summer, put sprinklers on their roof and clear a path for emergency vehicle access. “Make sure you’re aware of what’s going on outside,” he said. “If you think you smell something burning, do something about it as early as you possibly can. “If we had people knocking on doors telling you to leave, who’s fighting the fires?” He said heavily populated areas like the Dandenongs were a real worry. “We can’t remove every tree and all the undergrowth to make it safer because then it would be a bald mountain,” he said. “Because it’s so hilly and there’s only a few roads around the outside ... “Once a fire takes a hold, every man and his dog will get on the phones and take out the power in the area.” He urged people to print a map out and leave it in their car, rather than relying on map apps being available to guide them to safety.
Lessons learnt from resilience that day By Monique Kellett On 8 February 2009 I woke up to my mobile phone vibrating beside my head. It was my news editor calling and, blearyeyed, I could see she had tried to call twice before. I answered the phone and repeated back the firm instructions she had just given me, trying to muster as much professionalism and coherence as I could into my first words of the day. “Fire. Yarra Valley. Take camera. Notepad. Interview everyone. Got it.” In the car, the bushfire was all over the radio. After each news bulletin the news presenter stated very clearly not to go to the area and that “rubberneckers will be prosecuted”. Now fully awake, the realisation I was driving towards an active bushfire armed only with a camera and notepad was starting to sink in. I decided to call my news editor back. “You’re not rubbernecking, you’re working. Go!” It was a nice try. Being the only person at an emergency who wasn’t there to help had always been my least favourite part of being a journalist. I sucked up my survival instincts in favour of work ethic and continued on towards Warburton.
Swenrick
A plucky 22-year-old, I had started working in Healesville on the Upper Yarra Mail the year before. The weeks after that initial phone call were hectic. We would interview one person for a story, ask what they'd heard and the chain of stories would continue. I followed stories that broke my heart, took my breath away and some that were too horrible to print. I still think about the parents of Gareth Jones Roberts Junior and how proud they were of their loyal son who went out to get petrol for their generators and never came home. Then there were children of Chum Creek Primary School who would get spooked if a car drove too fast along the dirt road alongside the school. The dust blowing in through the school yard was too close a resemblance to bushfire smoke. Or their letters of thanks to firefighters and makeshift, hand-drawn school sign to replace the one destroyed by the fire. I remember the resilience of Russell Clements who lost his iconic 1953 FX Holden, The GAP Mobile, and his adamancy at rebuilding it. Then there were all the people who risked their own lives to save wildlife, loved ones and strangers.
Like most other people in the area, we kept going with life. Some days a veil of smoke settled along Maroondah Highway and it was a reminder that the bushfire was still very much active and threatening Healesville. I would write with one ear on the radio and two hands on the keyboard. My parents were fielding calls from worried family in the Netherlands who thought the whole of Victoria was on fire. The world was watching on television what the people I met were living or coming to terms with. They showed me how to survive in danger and how to keep going after tragedy. It felt like everyone let out a collective sigh of relief when autumn brought a cool change and the fires were declared under control on 14 March. Throughout all of it I kept thinking: “It’s 2009, how has this happened?” Natural disasters were something I expected to commemorate, not live through. How, with our communication technology and firefighting resources were we still being beaten by Mother Nature? Working in Healesville taught me how to be a ‘real’ journalist, but more importantly the residents I met and their resilience taught me how to be a better person.
Front-row to the trauma By Jade Glenn I was a 20-year-old cadet for the Mail's sister paper, the Pakenham Gazette, when I found myself in Healesville on 8 February 2009 covering the immediate aftermath of the Black Saturday bushfires. The day before I had been laying low in my suburban house, blinds drawn against the blistering sun. I knew about the fires because my mum, who lives in Healesville, had been fighting ember attacks at the property she worked at. I was worried, but had no idea about the extent of it. We had been covering the Bunyip Ridge Fire for a while - days? weeks? I don't recall - and so fire seemed a summer companion, ebbing and flowing with the changing weather conditions. I was born after Ash Wednesday. I had no idea. I was naive. We woke on Sunday to the realisation that something catastrophic had happened. Communities were irrevocably changed. My editor Garry Howe called and asked what I was doing and I told him I was going to Healesville - I don't know if that's where he wanted me to go but that's where I felt I needed to be. I had lived in Healesville and Dixons Creek for years and wanted to know what had happened, and wanted to see my family. Armed with a notepad and a camera, I drove up the mountain. I spoke to several people, including current Yarra Ranges Citizen of the Year Lesley Porter, whose photo I took ended up being the front page of the next week's paper. I was young and I am sure my stories were pretty average. I tried to report with sensitivity but don't know if I achieved it. There was nothing at university that prepared me for being front-row to people's trauma - I suppose nothing really can. Since then, I have read the Royal Commission report several times. Each loss as devastating as the next; people going about their lives, doing ordinary things, killed in an instant of unimaginable terror. I'm sure what is not in the report could fill several more volumes. Black Saturday changed the fabric of many communities, and many people. It changed government policies, and the way we respond to emergencies. Fire will always be a reality in Victoria. Now I know it is a reality to never be underestimated. If only there was another way for each generation to learn that lesson.

RENEWABLES HEALESVILLE
Healesville’s core helping Passionate community energy group, Healesville CoRE (Healesville Community Renewable Energy Inc.) is set to launch an exciting, cooperative solar and battery buying program for the Healesville community. Two residential community information sessions and a business breakfast information session will be held on 25 and 26 February 2019. Already 19% of buildings in the Healesville area support solar panels - representing 3.3MW of combined generation capacity. Healesville CoRE is determined to boost this number to support their journey towards zero carbon by 2027. The Healesville CoRE team maintains that renewable energy offers a powerful tool to help draw down energy prices, invigorate the local economy and reduce carbon emissions. Efforts are very much focussed on affordability, helping people reduce their energy demand, as well as having access to competitive prices. "This program will give Healesville residents the opportunity to buy high-quality solar technology from a trusted source," Healesville CoRE convenor Jeff Barlow said. "We're thrilled to partner with Mondo, experts in mini-grids, to assist in facilitating the program. Mondo's 'Ubi', a smart energy monitoring and management device, will unlock the potential for energy sharing in the future, will give us the ability to track our renewable energy targets and help each property get the most out of their energy system. We're excited to kick off the next major step of our renewable energy journey." Utilising local solar installation professionals, the solar and battery program launches on 25 February (daytime and evening session available), with a business breakfast the following morning for all local businesses.
The Healesville CoRE team maintains that renewable energy offers a powerful tool to help draw down energy prices, invigorate the local economy and reduce carbon emissions. These sessions will describe the broader view to create a localised mini-grid and will outline the vision of Healesville CoRE. At the session, residents and businesses can request an onsite
inspection to consider the best tailored options. Detailed quotes will then be offered which will bring together options and savings for the owner.
To find out more about the program, visit www.healesvillecore.org.au/solar-buy or email the Healesville CoRE team at contact@healesvillecore.org.au.

WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT? SITTING on a corner block in a picturesque rural area is this 9 acre property. The agent said it would make the ideal hobby farm, with plenty to offer outside and high-end features inside, and that the country-style home looks deceiving. The four-bedroom solar-powered home has living and dining areas with cathedral ceilings and a completely renovated kitchen with quality appliances and stone benchtops. The family bathroom and laundry have been renovated, meaning all the new owner will need to do is move straight in, the agent said. A wood fire will keep the new owners cosy in winter and there's also ducted heating and cooling. The wow factor has to be the new inground pool, the agent said, which is solar heated. The home is surrounded by a wrap-around verandah that overlooks the property. Divided into nine paddocks, there is also a chook pen, cattle ramp and yard, hay shed, dog run, two stables, an established vegetable garden and two dams with a pump.
Parking for cars and machinery is secure in the huge 18 metres by 7.5m garage with workshop. A renovated home on acreage with a picture perfect rural outlook can be hard to find, the agent said. For more information SMS 5FARM to 0488 824 379. â—?

Race for the finals By Chris Anderson Morning rains put a dampener on proceeding for cricketers across the Yarra Valley last weekend, with many games delayed, interrupted or abandoned without a ball being bowled. In the Yarra Valley Cricket Association's DJ Strachan Shield, for the games that got a start it was the bowlers who took the honours on day one. Traditional rivals Healesville and Seville faced off in a crucial battle in the race for finals. Seville's form reversal since Christmas has been quite remarkable. The visitors were asked to bat in tricky conditions. Bowlers Dermott Fry and Jordan Poynton had a tidy opening spell, with Poynton capturing two early wickets. Seville captain Leigh Aitkins joined young opener Liam Kay at the wicket, and the pair repaired some of the early damage. The pair started to get the scoreboard ticking over and pushed the score to 2/40 before Dale Senior swung the game back in Healesville's favour. Coming off a match-winning display with the ball last round, Senior (3/44) was back at it this weekend with three quick wickets, rapidly reducing the visitors to 5/55. When Poynton (3/33) returned to capture his third wicket, Seville found itself in quite a deep hole at 6/63. Andy Kay's role in the team has been to mentor the youngsters while taking a back seat to their prodigious talent. But for the second week in a row his coolness with bat in hand was vital. Kay (45) combined with the tail for a series of important partnerships to not only extend the innings to its full allotment of overs, but record a fairly decent total of 171. Daniel Healy and Marcus Smith were his chief allies. Healesville star Ash Hamer kept things in check over the final stages of the innings, taking three crucial wickets. Mount Evelyn lowered their colours for the
first time for the season last round so were keen to atone against a Yarra Junction team that has struggled for consistency. Mount Evelyn won the toss and chose to bat first. O'Donnell fell early and, despite a short resurgence, Jesse Fraser and Andrew Giblin quickly followed him to the sheds. The Mounters were 3/22. Daniel Fraser joined captain Kane Jones at the wicket for a well-measured partnership. Jones scored a run-a-ball 60 while Fraser was the patient support act. The pair pushed the total beyond 100 and extended the innings beyond the tea interval. But they fell in quick succession, sparking a devastating collapse as Kevin Bomford (3/16) and Caleb Hrabe (2/16) cut a swathe through the Mount Evelyn middle to lower order. A spell of five wickets for 12 runs quickly reduced the innings to a poorly 8/113. Chad Witherdin (33 not out) stepped up to stem the carnage with some late partnerships, the score 9/141 at stumps. Only 45 overs were bowled due to rain, leaving the contest wide open. The final game of the round between Wandin and Warburton-Millgrove was a complete wash-out. It will now revert to a one-day contest next weekend. DJ STRACHAN SHIELD Healesville vs Seville 10/171 (A. Kay 45, M. Smith 16*, J. Poynton 3/33, A. Hamer 3/39, D. Senior 3/44) Mount Evelyn 9/141 (K.

Hubbard's only getting better On a day when the Warburton Golf Club course was giving up yardage and therefore low scores were common, the grand old campaigner of the club's Wednesday set came out on top. Allan Hubbard qualified for the bag play-off later in the year, with a bogey-free nett 66 in the Wednesday 6 February stroke competition. Hubbard is a living example often used to refer to good wine - he gets better with age. Craig Brown can consider himself unlucky as he snared the runner-up prize also with a nett 66. Balls extended to 71 and the nearest the pin winners were Hubbard on the third, Ian Garside on the 10th and Kevin Conway on the 15th. The Patrick clan was to the fore again in this week's Twilight results, this time with Adam accruing 22 points. This was helped by not one but two eagles, on the 11th and 14th. The runner-up was Andrew Gill with a point total of 20. Balls went down to 18 only. Nearest the pin winners were Ash Hall on the 12th, Tony Bickley on the 15th and Clint Toohey on the 17th. In the Saturday 9 February Stableford contest, more good scores were the order of the day. Ossie McClay scored 43 points to easily win B-grade and the day. Word has it that McClay shot a par-34 on the front nine, for 27 superb points. A-grade went to President John Hall with 40 points, also an impressive score. The daily runner-up was Captain Noel Cross with 37 points. Balls got down to 34. These nearest the pin winners can collect a ball: Kevin Conway on the third, Peter Fox on the fifth, Adam Patrick on the ninth, Michael Pinkster on the 12th and J Martin on the 15th.

The new Toyota GR Supra.
New Supra debuts working extensively on the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife and surrounding roads in Germany in order to achieve the most agile, stable and rewarding handling. Further testing was also carried out on roads around the world, including in Australia with chief engineer Tetsuya Tada. To be certain that the car delivered on its promise, Toyota president Akio Toyoda put it to the test at the Nurburgring in his role as a master driver before giving it the final green light. Mr Toyoda said he had developed his craft as a master driver by spending countless hours driving an old Supra at the Nurburgring. “Even though Toyota had no plans to make a new Supra, just like a lot of other diehard Supra fans around the world, I secretly wanted to make it happen,“ he said. “The new GR Supra was born through testing at Nurburgring and I can honestly say that it is a car that is fun to drive and better than ever.“ In Australia, new Toyota GR Supra will launch in late 2019 with about 300 cars available in the first 12 months. All vehicles will be built in Graz, Austria.

The all-new Toyota GR Supra made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It’s the fifth generation of the sports car and the first global GR model to be produced by Toyota GAZOO Racing. The new Toyota GR Supra builds on the heritage of Toyota’s past Supra generations and the 2000GT sports car with its classic layout of a front-mounted, straight-six engine driving the rear wheels. Toyota says driving enthusiasts can look forward to an exhilarating blend of power, agility and precision handling, achieved thanks to the car’s combination of a short wheelbase and wide track, light weight, low centre of gravity and highly rigid body. The 3.0-litre engine benefits from a twinscroll turbocharger and produces 250kW and 500Nm of torque. Coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission, Toyota says it’s characterised by smooth and powerful acceleration, with large amounts of torque available across the full range of engine speeds. Toyota GAZOO Racing was instrumental in honing the new sports car’s performance,
