Milkshake up the creek

By Jed Lanyon Pregnant cow Milkshake was freed from a Healesville creek twice in one day.

Several Yarra Ranges Council safety officers made their way down to the creek at 9.45am on Wednesday 20 February to try to free Milkshake.

The council officers were unable to guide the 800 kilograms behemoth after entering the water and securing her with a rope.

It’s believed that Milkshake was too tired and her muscles had seized after being exposed to the cold waters over a prolonged period.

After an hour and a half, the council officers and the cow’s owners brought a council ranger vehicle close enough to the creek to attach a harness to Milkshake and finally bring her to safety.

Nathan Shaw, one of the council safety officers involved, said the rescued cow was visibly shaking.

“It appeared that water was just below head level so our main priority was to get out there straight away,” he said.

“It took three attempts but we finally got her up on the bank.“ Milkshake had been freed, but the job was far from over as council staff received another phone call in the afternoon.

“About 2.45pm we got another phone call, and lo and behold it was the same cow stuck again in deeper waters,” Mr Shaw said.

Milkshake clearly didn’t learn a lesson from her first encounter with the creek.

“We saw some evidence that made it appear that the cow had slipped from the embankment,” he said.

Cookies and Cream watches on as Ronald Versteegh, Nathan Shaw, Brigitte Hoath try to rescue Milkshake.

Mr Shaw suggested that another cow, Cookies and Cream, could have accidentally nudged Milkshake and caused her to lose her footing.

“We made about another four attempts but every time we tried to pull her out the harness would slip under and it started to tip her, so we didn’t want that,“ he said.

“The cow appeared to have given up at certain stages.“ The harness secured around Milkshake snapped, causing the cow to slip into the water

and hinder the rescue efforts.

Finally, at 6.30pm, she’d had enough and with a little push decided to walk herself out of the creek.

Milkshake was unable to put weight on one of her back legs, but received a welcome lick from a distressed Cookies and Cream, who was waiting patiently for her rescue.

The cow’s owners took her far away from the creek to ensure her safety.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

LETTERS Twice the trouble Reading about the Liberal proposal for Maroondah Highway, Coldstream, it seems there will also be traffic lights at the Gateway estate entrance.

This would mean two sets of traffic lights 500 metres apart - what will that do for traffic flows in Maroondah Highway?

I very much doubt that traffic lights could be justified at this second location. The duplicated highway would only extend to Ingram Road, leaving a short section of single lane road and creating another merging area where we have all had many near-misses with idiots who have to pass you before the second lane runs out.

This was nothing but a political stunt by the Liberals and when pressed on the Jon Faine show, Alan Tudge MP finally admitted that the State Government had not been consulted about this and the other announcements of railway station car parks.

This is clearly pork barrelling by the Liberals to try to boost their support for the May federal election following the big swings against them in the eastern suburbs in the recent state election.

VicRoads is the state road authority that would be responsible for this proposal and I would think that if they had been consulted and agreed that traffic measures were required at the Gateway entrance, then a roundabout would be a far better solution.

Two sets of traffic lights so close together and a merge back to a short section of single lane road will do nothing to help commuters or weekend tourists travelling along Maroondah Highway.

Thank you DELWP for all your efforts on maintaining a healthy state forest and on employing such friendly and courteous staff so willing to help.

IN BRIEF

Logging protest

By Jed Lanyon Forest Conservation Victoria has held a peaceful protest to halt logging operations in Toolangi.

One protester was suspended 30 metres up on a tree platform on Wednesday 20 February, forcing VicForests to halt logging operations.

The blockade came after volunteer citizen scientists reported finding a critically endangered fish species in the area.

The barred galaxias is typically found in the upper headwaters of the Goulburn River and its distribution stream has declined by about 95 per cent, according to the Victorian action statement on the species.

Conservation group Wildlife of the Central Highlands (WOTCH) claimed that explosives were being used to clear land within 70 metres of the creek system of the barred galaxias, while an access track about 150 metres upstream from the fish had been bulldozed.

WOTCH spokeswoman Hayley Forster questioned why the process of recording

Protesters at the Toolangi forest. endangered species was left to community groups.

“The logging of the beautiful Castella forest block will undoubtedly place this newly recorded population of barred galaxias at great risk of localised extinction,“ she said.

“The government put so much time, money and effort into trying to save the species from extinction after the devastating 2009 Black Saturday fires, it would be such a shame to lose a population that’s only just been discovered.“ VicForests corporate affairs general manager, Alex Messina, said VicForests was carefully and sensitively planning the harvest of this coupe.

“We are undertaking roading activities, including minor blasting, in the Castella Quarry coupe including upgrading an existing road and crossing,“ he said.

“Vibration monitoring equipment in place have recorded no significant results.

“This coupe is also adjacent to a large quarry which regularly conducts blasting operations.

“A 30 metre buffer is in place on both sides of the stream to protect water quality following the detection of barred galaxias in the coupe.

“A buffer of this distance is compliant with relevant standards to protect barred galaxias during operations.“

Sue’s legacy keeps on walking

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding a firearms incident which is believed to have occurred in Mooroolbark on Sunday 24 February.

Officers were called to an address in Donne Court after reports that a firearm might have been discharged.

Members attended the address and detained four people.

A short time later a man attended a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.

Police are yet to ascertain how the man sustained his injuries or where the initial incident occurred.

The investigation is ongoing.

Graffiti Vandals graffitied the wall and rear fence at Seb’s Place in Yarra Glen after 11pm on 11 February.

The business is a new pizza restaurant in Bell Street.

Anyone with any information should call Sergeant Coulson at Yarra Glen Police on 9730 1296.

Rider warning Motorcycle fatalities have already more than tripled this year compared to the same time last year.

Of the 13 motorcycle fatalities on Victorian roads, six occurred in the east.

With warmer weather expected for much of the state over the next week, Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol urged motorcyclists to be careful and will increase its presence into March.

“Ride to the conditions, wear protective boots, gloves, pants, jacket and helmet, and know your limitations,” a statement said.

“We’ll be out in the hills with warmer weather ensuring everyone’s doing the right thing.”

By Michael Doran The Warburton Rail Trail was coloured teal on Sunday 24 February when more than 1200 walkers set out from Lilydale to Warburton in support of the early detection of ovarian cancer.

Sue Contarino, a former teacher at Healesville High School, was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2013 and when told she had only five years to live she dreamed that 'Walk with Me' would become her legacy.

The walk started in 2016 when Sue issued an open invitation on Facebook to anyone who wanted to join her and donate $20 to the cause.

At the time she said, "I'm hoping it's epic but it might not be, it might just be five people and I don't care, my aim is to raise awareness that it's there."

Sue completed the walk in the first two years before passing away in 2017. Husband Steve has fulfilled her wish to 'keep it going' and it is certainly 'epic' now, raising more than $166,000 in just three years.

Organising committee member, Jodie Winterton said raising awareness of ovarian cancer is equally as important as the money raised for research.

"Its building awareness and getting a movement happening," she said. "We want all women being aware of what we are doing and why we are doing it and the importance of research for early detection."

"It's really important for women to be aware of their bodies and to take notice if they think something is not right and get a diagnosis. Early detection is the key because it's a lot harder to find ovarian cancer in the body.

"We spend about six months organising the walk and getting things happening but after today's long walk it's time for a little break to put the feet up."

Wednesday 27 February is Teal Ribbon Day, a day to wear a teal ribbon to raise awareness

Fire warning

Every day in Australia, four women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and three will die

from the disease. It is the sixth most common cause of cancer death in Australian women and one in 80 women will develop ovarian cancer in her lifetime.

Donations for Walk with Me can be made to www.walkwithme4oca.com for another four weeks.

Following a brief cold snap, Yarra Ranges Fire Patrol has issued a warning to home owners who remove coals from their fire by dumping them onto their garden.

Over the past few weeks, Leading Senior Constable Peter Hamilton said the crew had attended a number of calls caused by smouldering coals.

“With the run of cooler weather people have been getting their open fires going," he said.

"What they normally do in winter is tip the coals onto the garden and so we’ve had a few fires started this way as the ground's still very dry.

“Last weekend we had two - one on the Friday and one on the Sunday, and then there was one at Silvan dam two weeks before that.

“A lot of them are just smouldering, but the two at Silvan dam smouldered for about a day, overnight.”

Sen Constable Hamilton also warned that fire restrictions were still in effect and would continue to be until 1 May. “The police and CFA are taking a zero tolerance response to illegally lit fires,” he said.

We live in a great place Thank you! As this is my first column as your new local State Member of Parliament, I would like to extend my gratitude to you all, the people of Evelyn, for placing your trust in me to represent you.

I will always honour that trust.

I will listen to you and work hard for you, locally in our community and at Parliament in Spring Street. You deserve nothing less.

We live in a magnificent part of Victoria.

In the growing outer eastern suburbs where families seek to fulfil their dreams and provide the best for their children, I've heard your concerns about infrastructure challenges in and around the Kinley estate; on your behalf I'll continually appeal to the government for investment and outcomes around this area.

I'm proud, through the election campaign,

State of

Affairs Bridget Vallence Evelyn MP

to have achieved bi-partisan commitments for so many worthwhile needs in our community, including Mooroolbark's soccer pavilion redevelopment, assistance for Spectrum Journeys autism service and, most proudly, significant upgrades to the deteriorated facilities at Mount Evelyn's Special Developmental School.

In the famous Yarra Valley where family

farming businesses have flourished for generations to produce some of the world's finest produce, agribusinesses have diversified and innovated, with many running successful tourism enterprises that contribute to our local economy and create jobs.

In this part of the electorate, there was immense community momentum behind the campaign for upgrades to the dangerous intersection at Maroondah Highway and Killara Road in Coldstream, and it's fantastic to see this will now be delivered with federal funding.

More than anything, what binds the people in Evelyn, from the suburbs to the farmlands and from generation to generation, is aspiration and a deep sense of community.

Community organisations are places of shared experience and voluntary commit-

ment, and I'll always back the volunteer.

As we come through another fire season, and earlier this month commemorating 10 years since the horrific 2009 Bushfires I again thank our local CFA Brigades and the SES for their dedication in keeping us safe.

Finally, I congratulate Mount Evelyn RSL and Lilydale RSL for recently celebrating the exceptional milestones of formation 50 and 100 years ago respectively.

Particularly, to RSL volunteers who play an important role in our community providing much needed welfare to members who may at times feel isolated or need a helping hand, thank you.

Organisations like these that epitomise the volunteer spirit essential to the future of communities like ours.

New look, same service

By Michael Doran Bus commuters will notice a very shiny, new white bus around town but may be puzzled by the Public Transport Victoria livery that adorns it. Those with sharper vision will see that the McKenzies name is still there, albeit in a much smaller size type.

The reason for the change is because it's a requirement of the new seven year contract between PTV and McKenzies that new buses carry the PTV livery. McKenzie's General Manager Brad Sanders is concerned that the new signage may confuse people.

"When the government started negotiations for the new contract last year there was a lot of talk about privatisation and compulsory acquisitions," he said. "We always said we wanted to stay owners of our business and that's what we have done.

"We have a contract that will enable us to keep our business at the end of the seven year contract but a condition is that all new vehicles carry PTV's livery.

the new contract so it's in the PTV livery. I am concerned that after last years article people might see the new bus and think we did sell the business but we are still privately owned, with the same services, just with a brand new bus.

"In the new contract I campaigned heavily to get an increase in services for this area but PTV said no. The timetables we are operating are the same ones we had 20 years ago and the whole demographics of Healesville have changed since then."

He said that more services are especially needed on weekends and yet there are still only five services on Sunday from Healesville to Lilydale, the same frequency as in the 1980s.

"We need to have direct services between Healesville and Lilydale, rather than having to go via Yarra Glen. If you get in a car to go to Lilydale you don't go to Yarra Glen to get to there but PTV expect the bus to go that way.

"I don't want to take services away from Yarra Glen and we could look at an interchange in Coldstream. The objective is to maximise Healesville to Lilydale services and give people more options."

Listeria outbreak strikes

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges Council is advising its Meals on Wheels clients to dispose of all meals received from the service since 13 January following a listeriosis death.

On Friday 22 February health authorities announced they’d closed commercial caterer I Cook Foods while they investigated after an elderly woman died in an eastern suburbs private hospital on 4 February.

She was diagnosed with listeriosis, an illness commonly associated with food contamination.

I Cook Foods of Dandenong South provided meals to the private hospital involved and also supplied Meals on Wheels, including to Yarra Ranges Council.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has not advised Yarra Ranges

Council of the exact location of the listeriosis report but it was not within the shire.

The council has contacted Meals on Wheels clients to advise them not to eat, and to throw out, any meals they have had delivered on 21 and 22 February, and clients who received meals prior to this are being contacted as a precaution.

The council will organise replacement meals for clients if needed, and will reimburse clients for any meals that need to be destroyed.

Meal deliveries were to resume on Monday.

Acting chief health officer Dr Brett Sutton said testing on multiple food product samples collected at I Cook Foods returned six positive samples for listeria.

He said I Cook Foods would not reopen until further testing and improvements were made.

DHHS contacted the facilities the company supplied, including private hospitals, aged

care centres and Meals on Wheels services, mostly in the eastern suburbs.

The company does not supply any public hospitals.

Ian Cook, i Cook Foods director, said his heart went out to the family of the woman who had died.

“We are working closely with the health authorities and our suppliers to determine how listeria may have been introduced to the ingredients we cook in our factory,” he said.

“The source of the listeria is yet to be determined, and the health department is still looking at which part of the food handling process was at fault.

“We’re a family business operating for more 30 years.

“We are horrified this has happened.

“We take our responsibility in the prepara-

tion and handling of food extremely seriously, and that is reflected in a report from the University of Melbourne to the Department of Health that found no contamination on any of our food handling or preparation areas or equipment.”

Listeria are a bacteria that can cause serious illness and in some cases death, particularly in vulnerable people.

Symptoms of listeriosis include muscle aches, fever, nausea and diarrhea.

In Australia each year about 150 people are hospitalised with listeriosis and about 15 people die.

People at greater risk from listeriosis include pregnant women, their unborn and newborn babies, the elderly and other people whose immune systems have been weakened by illness or drugs.

Melba backs commission

The rescued steer, back in the paddock.

Holy cow, that was one lucky moo-vement

By Casey Neill A Good Samaritan saved a Yarra Glen cow who was having a hard time moo-ving to dry land.

Julie Nixon and her husband Jon are keen to say a big thank-you to Damien from Coldstream who turned up at their place on Monday 18 February.

"It was about 8.30pm I guess. I was putting our chooks away," she said.

"A car drove into our driveway.

"Our property is at the very end of a deadend road and it's bordered by the Yarra River."

Damien told them he'd been walking his dog at the reserve across the river from their bottom paddock and saw a cow in the water.

"He's driven himself from the reserve all the way around to our property, which is a good 15-minute drive. He's come out of his way," she said.

It was starting to get dark but the Nixons went to investigate, and found a break in the

fence near a steep section of the river bank.

"My husband gave me all his clothes, his glasses and everything, and swam up the river to the right," Julie said.

"Then he spotted it in the river.

"When he first approached it, it was still quite feisty.

"The steer was just tired. It had probably been in there all day.

"It tried to get out but its back legs were still in the mud."

She drove the car down and shone the headlights onto the scene.

John was trying to encourage the 600 kilogram steer out to safety, hitting its rump.

Julie called neighbours Syd, Lisa and Amber Saunders and Dick Treneman for backup.

"They were about to get into bed," she said.

"They grabbed our tractor. We had a thick rope in our shed. They found that and headed down and found us.

"The three boys got behind this steer and it took three hours to get it out.

"They put the rope around its rump."

Its legs were stuck in the mud so they were worried about causing injury and had to move carefully.

"We persevered and we finally got him up, but then he was out of the water but plonked on the edge of the river," she said.

"We thought he could topple back in.

"We put the rope around him again and were about to encourage him up, but he stood up by himself and we walked him back along the fence."

The Nixons are grateful to Damien and want to pass on their thanks.

"He could have seen him and just left him," she said.

"It could have been there for a couple of days. We're very lucky he's ok.

"It restores your faith in human kindness."

Lilydale-based Melba Support Services has thrown its support behind a Royal Commission into the epidemic of violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect against people with disability.

Federal Parliament passed the long-awaited motion in support of the Royal Commission on Monday 18 February.

Melba CEO Glenn Foard condemned the neglect and abuse of people with disability.

“We must have zero tolerance for abuse and other violations of individuals’ rights,” he said.

“The commission will, I hope, provide a comprehensive and independent review into systemic issues of abuse.

“It will give a voice to many people with a disability, and a much-needed platform for these survivors to share their heartbreaking stories.

“To do its work well, the Commission must be appropriately-resourced and ensure that people with disability are supported to participate and tell their stories."

Despite the motion of a Royal Commission passing, People with Disability Australia CEO Therese Sands still had questions regarding its implementation.

“We are concerned that there was not a definite announcement or time frame to establish a Royal Commission, nor a commitment to look at the breadth of issues we have raised with the Federal Government over many years,” she said.

“We have fought for a standalone Royal Commission on this issue for decades and we are ready to work with the Federal Government to make the Royal Commission happen as soon as possible.”

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports that one in five Australians have a disability, equating to about 4.3 million people.

Support for CoRE

By Michael Doran Healesville Community Bank has furthered its support for the Healesville CoRE project to become a net-zero emission town by 2027.

On Thursday 14 February Community Bank Chairman Bruce Argyle presented Jeff Barlow, President of Healesville CoRE, with a donation of $500 in support of the groups work.

Jeff Barlow welcomed the donation, and a similar one from Permaculture Yarra Valley, that come on the eve of the launch of the Healesville CoRE Solar and Battery Offer on Monday 25 February.

"We have had a great response from people who will attend the public events but interest from local businesses for the business breakfast has been slow," he said. "We welcome the support from the bank and Permaculture Yarra Valley at this important stage in CoRE's development."

Bruce Argyle said that supporting Healesville to increase it's renewable energy project fits in well with the banks philosophies and practices in this area.

"In 2017 when we first heard about the concept of Healesville CoRE and the goal of becoming a net zero emissions town we felt strongly that this was something that was pretty important. We also believed that the community would be happy with us supporting the project.

"We made a commitment from board level down that we wanted to do everything we could reasonably do to support CoRE in their goal of making Healesville a net zero emissions town by 2027.

"At its heart, the bank is about community and if the community is saying loud and clear we need to be doing more in this space then we will. Renewable energy and climate change needs to be taken seriously and that's why we feel a strong commitment to do something about it.

Bruce Argyle presents Jeff Barlow with the donation to CoRE. 190406 "The Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank has supported the sustainable energy project in Warburton that is producing energy daily. So the two sustainable energy projects in the Upper Yarra Valley have both been supported by the community banks in their area."

The Community Bank offers special deals to assist residents and businesses with competitive loans for solar panels, batteries and solar hot water. There are also significant government grants that will be available to homeowners, landlords and tenants.

Just too sick

By Michael Doran With another school year underway, parents everywhere have to face the dilemma of when to keep sick children home from classes, be it for real or imagined ailments.

There was no such decision to be made 100 years ago when Victorian schools did not resume after the Christmas break due to the onset of the Spanish Flu epidemic.

The Age reported on 29 January 1919: "In ordinary circumstances State schools would resume on Monday next, but owing to the epidemic they will remain closed in the metropolitan area. Mr Lawson said the schools would be kept closed as long as there is considered to be any danger of infection."

Spanish Flu, which did not start in Spain, caused the death of between 50-100 million people worldwide, far more than the estimated 20 million killed in World War 1. In Australia deaths from Spanish Flu were more than 12,000 compared to the 60,000 Australians who died in the war.

When the outbreak hit Melbourne in December 1918, the border between Victoria and New South Wales was closed, public meetings of twenty or more people were prohibited, travel in long distance trains was restricted and loitering 'under the clocks' at Flinders Street station was strictly forbidden.

According to Yarra Valley historian, Anthony McAleer, the first local case recorded was the Lilydale Assistant Station Master in January 1919 and within a week another 13 cases were reported in the Shire.

Shire Health Officer Dr Arthur Syme arranged for free inoculation centres to be organised at Lilydale, Montrose, Wandin, Silvan and Monbulk with over 400 residents being inoculated and the new Elementary High School in Lilydale was altered to provide hospital accommodation.

Another 15 cases were reported in the district over the next month but with only one fatality, Miss Beatrice Leahy, the school was never used as a hospital.

Keep on recycling Yarra Ranges Council is urging residents to continue recycling, following recent reports of recycling plant closures.

Recycling provider SKM recently closed two recycling plants, meaning a number of councils in Victoria, including neighbouring Cardinia, have had to re-assess their recycling programs and make alternative plans.

Yarra Ranges Council uses VISY for its recycling collection and processing, and is confident that recyclables collected in the area will continue to be processed appropriately.

"VISY is continuing to receive and recycle material from Yarra Ranges, and the recent closure of SKM's two recycling plants will not have any impact on our area," a council statement said.

"This means that recyclables collected in

the area will not be diverted to landfill.

"We urge residents to continue separating their waste and recycling appropriately."

Cardinia Shire Council advised its residents that its recycling processor would temporarily cease accepting recyclable material at its processing facilities following a notice from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

"This is a temporary situation. Your recycling bin will continue to be collected from your kerbside as normal during this period," the council said in a statement on social media.

"Although in the short term, we're disappointed we need to divert recyclable materials to landfill while the processor responds to the order.

"No one wants recyclable material to go to landfill - but our priority must be to protect the health and safety of the community."

Ectopia needs new talent

By Michael Doran Red Faces was once the place to find your five minutes of fame but it has long since been consigned to the TV cutting room floor.

However the Ectopia Festival on Sunday 24 March in Yarra Junction is the place to be for anyone game enough to face the crowd and have their act judged by 'audience satisfaction'.

The event is called 'The Valley's Got Talent' and the only criteria the organisers have set is the act 'MUST compliment the environment'.

Which means performers need to promote our beautiful environment somehow in their act, because this is what Ectopia and ECOSS is all about.

Tha acts will be split into Under 12 and Over 12 with the scoring being done by three professional judges, who will be taking audience satisfaction into their deliberations.

Performances will be judged according to inventiveness and uniqueness, costume design and effort, promotion of the environment and talent.

Organisers have called for actors, singers, dancers, jugglers, instrument players and anyone with special talents to come and entertain the Ectopia crowd.

They are also encouraging diversity and creativity to go with the environmental theme.

So if you want to launch a career, have a laugh or get a sustainability message across email Mellie.allen@hotmail.com or phone on 0417 160 862 for the entry forms and all the details. Details on Ectopia Festival 2019 are at www.ecoss.org.au

By Derek Schlennstedt Yarra Ranges Council is supporting Wyndham Councils I Love Kinder Campaign which aims at lobbying the federal government to commit to recurrent kindergarten funding.

Families in the Yarra Ranges could be up to $2000 worse off if the federal government does not commit to its share of recurrent funding for four-year-old kindergarten.

That's the word from Yarra Ranges council, which is promoting the I Love Kinder campaign in a bid to pile on the pressure on the federal government to secure ongoing funding in the lead-up to the budget, which will be handed down on April 2.

Currently, the federal government has committed to funding five hours of kindergarten a week for every four-year-old until the end of 2019, with the state government funding the remaining 10 hours.

In recent years, the federal government has extended the funding on a year-by-year basis, leaving families and kindergarten providers in limbo.

James Collins, Director of Social and Economic Development said the government needed to commit to recurrent kindergarten funding to provide certainty for Yarra Ranges families.

"Council is supporting the I Love Kinder campaign to ensure Yarra Ranges children learn valuable social and academic skills to prepare them for an enjoyable transition to primary school," Mr Collins said.

"Council believes early childhood education should be affordable for young families and a commitment to funding from the Federal Government will provide financial certainty for them."

According to Yarra ranges Council statistics in the Yarra Rages alone, there is more than 1900 kids enrolled in 4-year-old kinder.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said the upcoming Federal Budget and 2019 election provided Councils and the community with the opportunity to advocate to the Federal Government to provide families with certainty.

"We know our communities love their kindergartens, which is why a heart is being used as the campaign symbol - as well as asking the Prime Minister to "have a heart," Cr Stevenson said.

"The election will be held before 18 May and this creates an immediate opportunity to build political pressure through a public campaign.

"Please sign the petition, which will be passed onto the Federal Government."

Member for Casey, Tony Smith told the Mail that he fully expected funding would be forthcoming.

"In 2019, $440 million of funding is being used to help fund kinders around Australia.

Our local kinders receive their share of this money via the State Government and Yarra Ranges Council," Mr Smith said.

"Knowing how important kinders are to young children, their families and the wider community, I fully expect that a national agreement will be finalised later this year, just like the last five annual agreements."

The shire said it was one of many affected and was working hard investigating all immediate alternative options as well as longterm solutions to manage recycling services to households.

Gembrook MP Brad Battin said blamed the State Government's 'lack of action' for the situation.

"The former Liberal State Government put in place a plan for recycling when this issue was foreseen back in 2013-2014, Labor intentionally chose to ignore it," he said.

"Whilst the Labor Government have today pointed the finger the Federal Government, the Andrews Government have $500 million sitting in their account to combat the issue which they choose to leave untouched.

"This money should be used for new initiatives and business to get in control of waste before it's too late."

New heights hit for Yarra Glen art

Acoustic Afternoons at the sanctuary

By Jed Lanyon

By Michael Doran Following the December call for entries, which have now closed, Yarra Glen Art Show Coordinator Bronwyn Ward said this years show is shaping up to be one of the best ever.

"Although we aim to promote the breadth of local artistic talent, we have also attracted entries from all over Greater Melbourne and beyond, making this a diverse and rich show," she said. "We will be showcasing a wide range of art works from drawings and paintings through to sculpture, glass and digital art.

"One of our aims this year has been to make this event engaging for all ages. We are really excited to have some interesting pieces in our youth award category, open to Shire residents aged 15-25.

"Our open call means entry was open to anyone of any ability and it is wonderful to hang works from emerging or hobby artists along with established artists from the region and beyond."

For anyone who finds an artwork they really like, all the works in the show will be for sale, with prices ranging from $50 for an unframed work to $1500 for an original painting or sculpture and buying original art from the event has many impacts.

"Firstly, it is great for the artist to receive recognition and sell their work and it provides the group with a commission to go towards the cost of running the next show. It also provides word of mouth exposure and support for both the artist and the show."

Healesville Sanctuary is hosting Acoustic Afternoons, featuring relaxing live music, fresh regional food and some of the best in local brews.

It ran on 23 and 24 February and will return on 2 and 3 March, the sanctuary is encouraging visitors to lay out a picnic blanket and unwind for a weekend of barbecue favourites and charcuterie.

A pop-up bar featuring regional beer, wine and cider as well as gin cocktails from local distillery Four Pillars will complement the food from Yarra Valley producers.

The adults can settle in for an afternoon of live acoustic music while the kids - and the young at heart - are entertained by giant lawn games, bubble games and plenty of animals.

Acoustic Afternoons is included free with all entry tickets to Healesville Sanctuary.

''A Tangled Tale'' by Olwyn Conrau is in the Yarra Glen Art Show 2019. 189997 To add to the festival atmosphere over the long weekend, there will be stilt walker performances up and down the Yarra Glen high street, as well as organised kids activities and demonstrations facilitated by some of the tal-

ented artists from the show.

The Opening Night is Friday 8 March from 6-8pm and across the long weekend from 10am to 4.30pm at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall.

The travelling artist You Won't Be Border-ed with this Scandi excursion

By Michael Doran

Border Starring Eva Melander and Eero Milonoff

In the tradition of sombre Scandinavian cinema, Border is a fantasy drama driven by powerful performances, intimate emotional insight and outstanding pacing.

Tina (Eva Melander), a border customs officer with a brutish appearance and the ability to smell fear, meets Vore (Eero Milonoff), a man with a similar appearance and past. The two form a relationship, through which Tina learns some strange facts about her identity.

Melander delivers a remarkable performance as Tina, conveying incredible intensity and nuance beneath such heavy prosthetics.

Milonoff plays Vore with gruff charisma, and while Vore becomes a supportive figure for Tina, the film still drops subtle hints of dark

motives beneath the surface.

Border has engrossing atmosphere and phenomenally tight structure. The film immerses us in Tina's melancholic lifestyle and lifelong feelings of isolation, but her relationship with Vore develops a morbid yet empowering tone, with the pair gaining a primal satisfaction from each other. Steadily escalating into the macabre, Border repeatedly challenges our assumptions in startling but rational ways, and the film cleverly weaves together seemingly-disparate plot-threads, including a child pornography ring that builds to a disturbing revelation.

Nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at this year's Oscars, Border is a confronting, uplifting and utterly unique supernatural drama.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

Melbourne based Craig Penny is exhibiting his latest works at Art at Linden Gate in Yarra Glen from Friday March 8. The artist, who travels the world to reflect its beauty in his 'plein air' watercolours, will be introducing his paintings of Greece, France and Cambodia in the showing.

Reggie Clark, manager of Art at Linden Gate says "We are thrilled to exhibit Craig's captivating work at the gallery. This is indeed a triumph for the Yarra Valley and we hope to attract his enormous following as well as new visitors to our corner of paradise near Melbourne."

Known internationally as 'The Travelling Artist', his many painting excursions include Cambodia, Greece, France, Japan, Norfolk Island, and Vietnam. In 2001, he had his first major solo exhibition and since then his work has been exhibited in galleries around the USA, the UK, Singapore, Cambodia and Australia, including the discerning Gallery Diamante in

California.

"I like to think that to paint a successful painting is not so much to have tamed the beast, rather to have been taken along for the ride and still being there at the end of the experience," Craig says.

Having taught both traditional drawing, illustration and digital drawing at Victoria University and Swinburne University respectively, Craig's first love of traditional methods has resulted in his specialising in watercolours, acrylic painting and illustration.

Born in Mildura, his family moved to the Western District of Victoria in 1970. The passion for art started at an early age, when ceramics and sculpture captivated his imagination and he constructed several wood-fired kilns to express his creativity further.

The exhibition runs until Monday 15 April at Linden Gate, 899 Healesville-Yarra Glen Road, Yarra Glen. For details, go to: www.artatlindengategallery.com.au

For lifelong learning For some people the thought of education may stir up memories of school and carry an association that can best be described as a turbulent race to the finish line with little desire of ever returning. However, Cire Services said learning in fact extended far beyond primary and secondary experiences and was embedded in various parts of people's lives.

Whether it is in the form of tertiary education such as university, attending public lectures, listening to podcasts or reading books, there are more opportunities than ever before to engage in learning. But what is lifelong learning? Why should people pursue it? And how does it actually benefit the individual and community?

Cire Services said lifelong learning was the continuous building of skills and knowledge during one's life and occurred through experiences people faced in their lifetime.

Lifelong learning takes place at all stages of the life cycle and should be life-wide, meaning that it emerges out of all life contexts such as the workplace, home or community.

There are various forms of learning.

Formal learning consists of learning that occurs in an organised and structured context; non-formal learning consists of learning embedded in planned activities that are not explicitly designated as learning; and informal learning is defined as learning resulting from daily life activities.

The benefits of lifelong learning are varied and far-reaching, according to Cire Services.

www.cire.org.au

From a societal perspective, lifelong learning has been attributed to a decrease in crime and encourages people to participate in community activities.

In 2017 The Economist called lifelong learning an "economic imperative" and emphasised the need for continuous acquisition of new skills throughout a person's career.

Furthermore, older learners can engage with the community and provide a valuable service that benefits others.

Lifelong learning also benefits health and wellbeing, Cire Services said.

Research has shown that continuous learning helps improve memory and that people with more education are less likely to have dementia at old age.

Engaging in courses, workshops and programs can help people to make new friends and establish valuable relationships which improve interpersonal skills and reduce social isolation.

The process of continuous learning can also enable people to put their lives into perspective by increasing their understanding of past successes and failures and know themselves better.

No matter a person's age, Cire Services said there was a benefit to engaging in lifelong learning in a variety of forms.

Learning and education does not have to stop after high school or tertiary education, and many short courses and workshops exist in the community which can enhance lifelong learning.

Lifelong learning also benefits health and wellbeing.

Students at Hoddles Creek Primary School

HOME FOCUS

DIVINE LOCATION WITH A GARDEN OASIS THIS much-loved property has been enjoyed and cherished by the one owner for many years, the agent says, but the time has now come to move on and happily pass on this exclusively-located home.

A delightful home all-round, the agent said, with breathtaking gardens and an array of established plants and trees, the true cottage garden just bursts with colour and has meandering paths here and there.

The home itself has room for everyone.

Upstairs there’s a renovated kitchen with much thought and consideration in the design, the agent said, with plenty of room, substantial cupboards and bench space, complete with a dishwasher, picture-perfect outlook and access onto the verandah.

Heading back inside on the top level, there’s a formal dining room, lounge room, generous

study, and renovated bathroom-come-laundry.

The main bedroom has built-in robes.

Two reverse-cycles throughout the home will keep the new owner comfortable all year round.

Downstairs is fabulous for larger families

or visiting guests, the agent said, even the opportunity for AirBnB with a separate entrance, bathroom, kitchen, walk-in pantry, generous dining area, lounge room, one bedroom and potentially another smaller bedroom.

The agent said this would be a soughtafter property given its unique location, close to the Warburton Golf Course, Aqueduct Trail, Warburton Rail Trail, across from the Yarra River and only a couple minutes from town. ●

Still on top

Flying at night

By Jed Lanyon New LED lighting has been installed at Lilydale Sports Oval in hopes of the venue hosting night matches and boosting player numbers for teams for Lilydale Football Club.

President Anthony Simmons said the teams would no longer be restricted to using only half the field when training at night.

“We can utilise the whole of the ground now that the lights will be of a decent standard and playing will be safer for everyone,” he said.

“It decreases the traffic on the small section that was illuminated before, meaning that there is less wear and tear across the ground."

Seniors player Brad Lowe said that at certain times last season, their field turned black due to being overused.

The new lights came at a time of need after a sharp increase in female participation.

“Our first female team formed about four years ago and we knew we needed to secure decent facilities including proper showers, which we did fund, in order to attract more players,” Mr Simmons said.

The club now fields four girls and women’s teams.

One Falcon, Zoe, said she found her love for footy after her friend invited her to training.

“Being able to kick a footy for the first time and then kicking and joining in with the boys at school made me love football a bit more,” she said.

“There is a really friendly and inviting environment that makes me want to keep coming back.

“It’s really fun."

The entire project is worth $205,000, with $25,000 coming from Lilydale Football Club, $70,000 from the State Government’s Sport and Recreation Victoria grant program and $110,000 from Yarra Ranges Council’s sports field renewal program.

Blues remain unbeaten

By Chris Anderson With two rounds remaining, the race for finals is still well and truly in full swing.

In brilliant conditions for batting, it was the bowlers who took the honours on day one of round fourteen action.

Disciplined slow bowling seemed to be the order of the day as the slower bowlers made the batsmen work extra hard for their runs.

Warburton-Millgrove elected to field first against competition leader Mt Evelyn with an eye on strangling their opposition on a painfully slow Mac Sparke Oval.

When Pat Heaphy was the man to fall, courtesy of a neat run out, the score crawled to 139.

Warburton-Millgrove will enter day two as rightful favourites to chase down the score.

Yarra Junction hosted Healesville in a key clash for both teams. Healesville needing to win their final two games if they are to be a chance to sneak into the top four.

Meanwhile, Yarra Junction has shown glimpses this season, but their inconsistencies, particularly with the bat, have proven

costly to the flow of their season.

Yarra Junction won the toss and elected to field taking some pressure of their faltering batting line up.

Dale Senior was in form, and was the mainstay of the innings contributing a fine half century. His wicket with the score in 5/105 would start to push the innings towards a quick close.

Right across the day, Healesville would look threatening, only to hand the advantage back to the Eagles through regular wickets.

A quick rear-guard action from Glen Poynton at the close of the innings pushed the score to 140 when the last wicket fell.

The Eagles were well serviced by all their bowlers as they put together another disciplined performance that left the Bloods searching for runs.

Like most games across the Yarra Valley this season, it was spin that would prove the most effective with Rhys Matthews 4/33 and Kevin Bomford 2/28 stifling things through the middle of the innings.

An early wrap up of the innings, gave Yarra Junction a tricky period of 14 overs to see out

the day. Despite losing night watchman Terry Ottrey, the Eagles took full advantage of the bonus overs, and closed the day on 1/41.

In the final game of the round, Seville hosted Wandin in a key clash in the race to secure a home final.

The unbeaten Blues bowled first in perfect batting conditions. Wandin simply had no answers to Seville's plans and their execution of those plans.

The Bulldogs would fight tooth and nail, but couldn't find the right balance between disciplined defence and attacking stroke play.

The Bulldogs had faltered with the bat for the second week running and were dismissed for a disappointing 68.

Seville did have to see out a few overs at the end of the day, and would reach relative safety at 1/15 when stumps were drawn.

Seville should comfortably reach this total and all but secure a home final with one round remaining.

For the Bulldogs, it's as much about pride as anything. They are still well in the frame for finals, and will need to build some confidence

if they are to prove themselves in the big stage.

Vaulting into comp

By Jamie Strudley The best athletics in Victoria gathered at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday 23 February for the AV Shield Final.

The AV Shield is a team based track and field competition where athletes score points for their team based on their performance in

events. Participation in the final is earned by winning the respective zone through the 12 rounds of regular competition.

Yarra Ranges Athletics had 3 teams qualify for the final, Men's Division 2, Women's Division 2 and Men's U18. This marked the first time that Yarra Ranges Athletics had athletes

participate in pole Vault.

Yarra Ranges Athletics eventually finished second in Open Men's and Open Women's and very close third in Men's U18. Standout performances came from Emerson Field with a club record Pole Vault and Erika Bedyn accumulating over 1700 points on her own.

Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes Max Savill-Bentley and Luke Hunter controlling their 1500 at AV Shield Final.

Three’s a crowd

By Ron Hottes Two Warburton Golf Club members had outstanding results on Wednesday 20 February.

Ian Garside shot for 70 for the sixth time in his career, winning with 42 points.

Neil Leckenby matched that impressive score but lost on a tight count back to finish as the runner-up.

As we close in on the pointy end of this twilight season, every point earned means so much in being part of the final shootout at the end of March.

President Hall's win this week will see him sneak into the top 10. And, he did it in style, with 23 impressive points. Danny Fox was the runner-up with 21.

Nearest to the pin went to Andy Sweet, Steve Noonan and to Neil Leckenby.

After holding the 2018-19 AGM on Saturday 23 February, the club sent out a healthy field to contest a fun-filled event.

The winning pair was actually a team of three due to a late arrival. So, Clint Toohey, Michael Danaher and Howard McDonald took home the vouchers, with a winning score of 57 and 1/3.

Paul Kennedy and Ken White were the runner-up pair with 58 and 2/5. Balls got down to 61 and 3/4.

The daily nearest to the pin winners were Geoff Ireson, Peter Fox, Martin Garthwaite, Andrew Williams and David Hatt.
