College wins out on lease

By Jed Lanyon

Melissa Handbury in the Coldstream Primary school. 188703 "Student numbers will start at 12 and expand to 24 in 2022," Ms Handbury said.

Ms Handbury emphasised that the creation of a specialist school alongside Coldstream Primary School and the kinder would be the first of its kind for the Yarra Ranges and invite better quality teachers to the area.

Councillor Fiona McAllister voiced her support for the autism specialist school and spoke about its clear need within the community.

"The need is clear and I think we would be particularly proud to have a school that would support children with autism spectrum disorder ... I am confident that there is strong community support," she said.

Yarra Ranges Councillors voted unanimously to approve a lease for Lyrebird College at the Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 26 February.

Founder of Lyrebird College Melissa Handbury said the school was hoping to have planning approval by June and to open in 2020.

"Our school is very excited to be a part of the educational precinct. And being next to the Primary School and the kinder gives a wraparound service, not only to the children within the precinct but to the greater community," Ms Handbury said.

As part of the approved council recommendation the 2500 square metre land at part 12 Kelso St, Coldstream will be leased for an initial five year term, with the option for another four year additional term.

The council set a 24 metre buffer between the school and neighbouring residents, revising the initial site of 4000 square metres.

At the meeting two Coldstream residents made objections to the recommendation and said the close proximity to their property would create noise and traffic problems.

"It's really busy with parents driving through to the school," said Anthony Wallace, whose house will share a fence with the school.

"The car park is quite small now with the kindergarten, the community and the primary school, to put additional cars and buses in there ... It's quite dangerous now."

In a presentation to Council Ms Handbury swept aside the concerns of residents and said the high teacher to staff ratio would create a quieter school environment and that Lyrebird College would consider adjusting the hours of its operation to minimise the impact on current traffic conditions.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

LETTERS DELWP ignores ministers’ promises RE: The DELWP 10 Year Draft Plan January 2019 Theme 4 - Bushfire Risk in the Yellingbo Conservation Area.

This plan is a summary of the concerns and comments raised at the three information sessions held by DELWP. I attended the Yarra Junction session on 25 August 2018.

I was there for the whole session and I witnessed the concern surrounding the bushfire risk in the Upper Yarra Valley.

In this plan it states - "The YCA Bushfire Risk Management Plan was based on expert input and computer modelling and therefore it was not appropriate to elicit input from the community on the Plan ... There is no scope to modify the Bushfire Risk Management Plan."

Draft or final statement?

Minister Lily D'Ambrosio in a media release 23 November 2016 states: "A community led process to assess and manage bushfire risk in the Yellingbo Conservation Area will begin next month ... The planning process will be led by the local community."

In the same release Deputy Premier James Merlino was quoted as saying: "In order for this bushfire risk assessment to be effective it must be underpinned by the local knowledge and the expertise of landowners and the community."

The DELWP inspired plan laughs at both ministers and their promise to the community.

Where will this fiasco end - when we all live in a five square unit in the middle of Melbourne?

Warratina goes on show

By Michael Doran Warratina Lavender Farm has been a part of the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show since its inception 23 years ago and will be there once again in 2019 from Wednesday 27 to Sunday 31 March.

Having such a long presence at the largest horticultural show in the Southern Hemisphere is a great way for owner Annemarie Manders to showcase the Yarra Valley, with more than 130,000 visitors in 2018.

Annemarie said that it was a big decision for her to attend the first time in 1995 but since then Warratina has won seven bronze awards for their displays.

"I was already going to markets to show my lavender and I thought I would stick my neck out and try a big show," she said. "Along the way I have learnt so much about how to display my products, what people were interested in seeing and what they enjoy.

"It is always a great pleasure to be at this show and to interact with people of gardening interests. A lot of visitors are surprised to learn about the products we make from the edible lavender.

"The edible plant is very different and has a lot less natural camphor in it and I educate them on how to use it. People are becoming much more adventurous in their eating habits and tasting a lavender scone or ice-cream is a real treat."

This year, the display will include an extensive array of lavender plants and products, made from both edible and non-edible lavender. Warratina's diverse product range en-

IN BRIEF Fire threat

Following a passion

Lightning strikes on 1 March contributed to a number of fires in the Yarra Ranges National Park and the Yarra State Forest.

Reports from Community, fire lookout towers and aircraft reconnaissance confirmed that three bushfires were burning on Sunday 3 March.

On Sunday 3 March Warburton CFA confirmed that there were three fires burning in the area.

As of Sunday 3 March Fire 53. Mt Boobyalla walking track has been contained to 0.53 hectare blaze and crews were patrolling this fire on Sunday.

As of Sunday 3 March Fire 54 O'Shannasy catchment road 16 fire was is 1.3 hectares. A water bombing helicopter was supporting ground crews.

As of Sunday 3 March 51 Cambarville road 4 fir was 122 hectares and is located in steep heavily forested Armstrong water catchment.

Heavy Machinery including dozers and excavators have been working to build control lines to limit the fires spread. A water bombing helicopter was supporting ground crews.

It is expected over the coming days smoke will be visible from nearby communities and roads.

Fire fighting vehicles, machinery and aircraft are operating in the area.

As of 4 March Vic Emergency stated that there is currently no threat to you, but you should stay informed and monitor conditions.

By Michael Doran Yarra Junction locals may recognise Karen Viggers as their former vet but may not know that she is an internationally acclaimed author, selling more than 800,000 copies of her books in France alone.

She returned to the Yarra Junction Library on Monday 25 February to talk about growing up in the Yarra Valley and her latest book, The Orchardist's Daughter.

Karen said she wanted to be a writer in high school but was put-off by a family member who said 'there is no money in that'. So she become a veterinarian and it was during a stint in Antarctica where her love of writing was rekindled.

"I was here in Yarra Junction for about a year before I met my husband, David Lindenmayer, over a leadbeater possum, and I went to Canberra with him. I moved for the love of a man, if it was love of a place I would have stayed here."

"I am great lover of the outdoors and that comes from growing up here. I got my first horse when I was 11 and I grew up riding through the hills and forests of the valley.

"We're really fortunate in Australia to have so many places that are relatively untouched that we can still escape to. Part of my purpose for writing is to remind Australians about what we have."

Before heading to Antarctica she visited Bruny Island and it was there that her love of Tasmania began. "Because of my background as a vet I have a passion for wildlife and a fascination with wilderness. In my new book the Tasmanian devils and wedge-tail eagles are symbols of freedom that are central to the storylines."

The Orchardist's Daughter is her fourth novel and follows The Stranding, The Lightkeeper's Wife and The Grass Castle. Her books have been translated into French, Italian, Nor-

Karen Viggers with Maria Mithen of Yarra Junction Library. 191033 wegian, Slovenian and Spanish.

"A best seller in Australia will sell around 30,000 copies but in France The Lightkeeper's Wife sold 100,000 in first month and more than 800,000 have been bought there. The French love rural landscapes, farmers, small towns and nuanced characters."

After the presentation she spoke about the importance of books in childhood development. "Reading books together with an older person is how children learn about language, about ideas and words and develop a passion

How to help

for books themselves.

"There is a lot of peace to be found in reading, a lot of headspace to think about issues whereas on social media it happens without thinking. Reading introduces different perspectives on the world to kids and that's so very important.

"An easy way to get kids involved is to play audio books in the car instead of having their screens in front of them. Every library has a range of fantastic audio books available so that's what parents can do."

Sanctuary decides Cadbury not so sweet

By Jed Lanyon Healesville Sanctuary will no longer sell Cadbury or Natural Confectionary Company products.

Zoos Victoria vows to take a stand for wildlife under threat from manufacturers that refuse to come clean on the origins of the palm oil in their products.

The crackdown comes after an audit by Zoos Victoria on all food products sold at Healesville Sanctuary, Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo to ensure that parent companies are using, or committed to sourcing, only the highest standard of wildlifefriendly sustainable palm oil within the next four years.

Zoos Victoria said that all product suppliers, including Cadbury's and Natural Confectionery's parent company Mondelez, were given time to comply with the sourcing standards of Zoos Victoria's Palm Oil Policy. Those that haven't complied have been removed

from the shelves.

Zoos Victoria CEO Dr Jenny Gray expects a groundswell of public support for the organisation's new social media campaign #LabelPalmOilAlready.

"Consumer research shows that 95 per cent of Australians want clear mandatory labelling of palm oil, so they can make an informed decision on what they consume," Dr Gray said.

"It's pretty simple, we all just want to know

what is in the products we consume and how the use of these ingredients affects the habitat of the precious wildlife we care about."

Zoos Victoria states that the rapid expansion of palm oil production is associated with the destruction of habitat for some of the world's most vulnerable species, including orang-utans, tigers, elephants and gibbons.

Dr Gray said there was still so much confusion about sustainable and unsustainable palm oil, which could be resolved through mandatory labelling of product ingredients, including the removal of the umbrella term 'vegetable oil'.

"The Victorian Government supported mandatory labelling as a priority back in 2016, and yet we are still waiting for the Australian Government and other states to make the change. The wildlife under threat from deforestation for palm oil plantations can't wait any longer," Dr Gray said.

How would this yard look at your place

?

As the Victorian bushfire emergency continues, Red Cross is encouraging affected communities to access a range of advice and resources from its website to help cope with the psychologically taxing threat caused by the fires.

With 19 blazes burning across the south east, teams of trained Red Cross emergency services teams are on the ground helping those affected.

Damien Moloney from Red Cross Emergency Services Victoria said, "Crisis events like the fires in Victoria can be very distressing and it's normal to feel upset, anxious or overwhelmed.

Stress caused by such events can impact all aspects of your life and may continue for a long time. This is a normal response to an abnormal experience."

"Red Cross emergency services teams are in place as needed, and we're geared up to support those who need help as the fires continue," said Mr Moloney.

Early banks in Yarra Glen Banks established agencies in Yarra Flats in the mid-1880s when the population swelled due to the building of the aqueduct and the railway.

Two of our historic buildings are legacies of this development.

The Commercial Bank opened at Yarra Flats on 4 January 1886, in temporary premises rented from the blacksmith, Frank Farvis, and Charles Harbord Watt (1861-1947) was appointed manager.

William Farrell, then licensee of the Yarra Flats Hotel, recognised a business opportunity and erected a brick building opposite his hotel.

It was completed in July 1886 and Farrell leased it to the bank, which later bought it in 1894.

The building, now a private residence, still stands on the corner of Armstrong Grove and Bell Street.

The Colonial Bank opened its branch in

Looking

back Helen Mann

Yarra Glen and District Historical Society secretary February 1886 under the management of Mr O’Shannessey.

It was housed in a weatherboard building owned by the storekeeper Philip Kiernan near the corner of King and Bell streets.

Kiernan sold the property in 1887 and ironically it was purchased by the Commercial Bank.

The Colonial Bank thenceforth leased its

premises from its rival until July 1890.

By this time William Herbert had erected a substantial two-storey building on the corner of Bell Street and Herbert Lane which the Colonial Bank then moved into.

Business gradually declined in Yarra Glen after the completion of the railway and aqueduct building projects.

No bank managers are listed in the trade directories between 1895 and 1900 and details are sparse for the early twentieth century.

The Sands and McDougall Directory advertises an agency at Yarra Glen in 1900 and also in 1915.

Alfred E Priestley was the manager of the Commercial Bank during the early 1890s until the bank transferred its operations to the Lilydale branch in 1892.

The building has been a private residence ever since; notably the home of the local doc-

tor, Dr Henry Vogler, from 1906 until 1930.

In the 1930s the National Bank operated an agency in the former Colonial Bank building, opening only on Thursdays.

This service closed in 1941.

In the 1960s the State Savings Bank operated from this building.

Keith Rodwell was manager, followed by Mr RW McSweeney in 1971.

The State Savings Bank erected a new building on the corner of Bell and King Streets in 1972.

The Commonwealth Bank acquired the ailing State Savings Bank of Victoria in 1991 and has maintained its own branch in this building ever since.

The Bank of Melbourne opened premises on the opposite side of Bell Street about 1990.

It was replaced by the Bendigo Bank about 10 years later and this bank continues today.

Diabetes scheme funded

By Jed Lanyon Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) will fund a multidisciplinary type 2 diabetes service in partnership with Inspiro: Community Health Service.

The Integrated Diabetes Education and Assessment Service (IDEAS) which will be situated in Lilydale was chosen to meet the needs of people living in the Yarra Ranges, as it has one of the highest rates of preventable hospital admissions for type 2 diabetes in east and north-east Melbourne.

Federal Member for Casey, Tony Smith spoke about the importance of this program.

"In the Yarra Ranges we see high numbers of people admitted to hospital due to complications from Type 2 Diabetes.

"This service works to directly address this by treating people in a community setting, often closer to home with a care team they can

EMPHN CEO, Robin Whyte, said IDEAS Lilydale aims to provide greater local access

to services for people who are living with and managing their diabetes.

"The specialised care team at IDEAS aims

to prevent people's symptoms worsening and requiring hospitalisation by providing effective management and treatment," she said.

The service is delivered by Carrington Health, Inspiro, Eastern Health, EACH and Access Health and Community.

In 2016-17, in the Yarra Ranges area there were 223 potentially preventable diabetes related hospitalisations.

Ninety-five per cent of people referred to by their GP for Type 2 Diabetes to Eastern Health Specialist Diabetes Clinics are now having their diabetes managed closer to home at an IDEAS clinic, like the Inspiro IDEAS clinic in Lilydale.

To find out more about IDEAS Lilydale, call 9738 8801. A GP referral is needed. The service is based at Inspiro: Community Health Service, 17 Clarke St, Lilydale, and operates on a Wednesday afternoon.

College making a difference with a huge leap of faith

By Michael Doran UPPER YARRA SECONDARY COLLEGE In 2014, Upper Yarra Secondary College took a huge leap of faith when its first group of students set off on a humanitarian trip to a small village in Cambodia, under the auspices of the Rotary Club World of Difference program.

Leading the trip was teacher Bronwen Foley and in December 2018 she returned for the third time on a journey that began at a conference.

"I was at a VCAL teachers conference and went to a workshop presented by Bronwyn Stephens from World Of Difference," she said.

"There was also another speaker, a teacher from Echuca, who had taken his VCAL class

over to Cambodia on the WOD program.

"This is the most powerful thing we have done in teaching and we had never been able to give our students experiences like this before. In 2018 we went back into schools were we had worked previously to build on projects we started on previous trips."

A big issue in the villages is sanitation and a lot of the work is around improving it, work the students undertake side by side with their Cambodian counterparts.

"To help the Cambodians with education is very important but they cant get that if they are sick and not going to school. We focus on sanitation because we believe that is something we can do that will directly impact their educational outcomes.

Dogs

"The students may see it as helping disadvantaged people but the personal growth they are getting out it far outweighs the hard work they are putting in. As well as paying for their trip, students and their families are heavily involved in raising the funds for the humanitarian projects."

The trip is a mix of humanitarian work and cultural experiences, exposing the students to the genocide of the Pol Pot regime in the 1970s but also the beauty of Angkor Wat. "These trips give our students something they can not only feel really good about but the school itself can also feel really proud of. Were making global citizens here in Yarra Junction, look at where we live and look at what we have achieved."

WE’RE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF TESTING NEW SAFETY TECHNOLOGY IN THE AREA

One map to rule them all

As part of the Victorian Government’s Powerline Bushfire Safety Program, AusNet Services is installing leading edge technology to reduce the risk of powerline related bushfires in your area.

You may experience power outages while we test the new safety technology

Important safety information you should know

As we start to install and test the technology, you may experience interruptions to your electricity supply. Planned outages are necessary to carry out the work safely.

Local residents and communities still need to ensure their Bushfire Plan is up to date and understood by everyone.

However, you may also experience the occasional unplanned outage as we integrate leading edge technology into the network for the first time. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience while we implement this important safety initiative.

We will do everything we can to make sure that any disruption is minimised.

One map to rule them all, one map to find them.

One map to bring them all, and in the Yarra Ranges bind them.

The map looks like something ripped from the pages of a Tolkien book: pyramidal mountains like sharp teeth, forests of glyph-like trees, hand-inked names and even a dragon or two.

But instead of Middle Earth, Brunswick cartographer Adam Mattinson is charting The Yarra Ranges shire, and it looks not unlike the shire from the Lord of The Rings.

Mr Mattinson creates in depth and complex maps and also likes Lord of The Rings. So, in August 2017 he decided to bring the two together.

"I'm definitely a fan of the Lord of The Rings and Tolkien's books, and one of the things that captured my imagination reading them was the maps, so I thought I'd recreate that for our own little backyard," he said.

"I grew up in Mount Evelyn, and went to school in Mount Evelyn, and I feel like the area and landscape of the region lends itself to the Lord of The Rings-esque map."

Covering the entirety of the Yarra Ranges Shire, the map extends from Marysville all the way down to Ferntree Gully and across to Gembrook.

I Started drawing in my home town of Mount Evelyn, continued it out to Wandin and Seville, and Lilydale, and because the shire is in the Lord of The Rings I thought I might as well include the entire Yarra Ranges Shire.

Having since moved to Brunswick, Mr Mattinson said making the map has brought back his love for the area.

Adam Mattinson and a Map of the Yarra Ranges which is reminiscent of Lord of The Rings.

Mr Mattinson is creating a map of the Yarra Ranges Shire in the style of Lord of The Rings "In making the map, you remember all these areas you visited as a kid."

"Recently I've been working on things around The Patch and Macclesfield and it really is a nice area and rekindles that interest and love for the region."

Each town, mountain range and lake is featured in the unique map and in Mr Mattinson's world Puffing Billy is identified as a fire breathing dragon.

You can keep track of the map and its progress by visiting Mr Mattinson's Facebook at "Adam Mattinson Maps."

A celebration of international day

By Jed Lanyon Warburton based photographer Suzanne Phoenix curates her annual International Women's Day photography project on 8 March at The Alderman in Brunswick East.

For the eighth consecutive year Ms Phoenix will bring together a diverse group of women who inspire her world to take their portrait while posing them the question, 'What does International Women's Day mean to you?'

The portraits of the participants will be pasted up as street art on a Melbourne wall on 7 March in preparation for International Women's Day on the following day.

From bronze World Boxing Championships medallist Kristy Harris, to writer and comedian Justine Sless, to musician and artist Rosie Lane and many more will all feature on the wall along with their response to what International Women's Day means to them.

Suzanne Phoenix shared a bit about what

this project means to her.

"It's important to understand that people's images are going out into the world, I think it has huge benefits for someone to feel like they have been seen and feel heard. "(It's about) acknowledging the hard work that has happened but also being conscious that there is a long way to go," she said.

"Photography has given me the opportunity to meet great people and be in some crazy situations.

"My goal is to take beautiful photos of people no matter how the world may view their aesthetic.

"The by line is just the tip of the iceberg, but the story to get to there is a long one," she said.

Ms Phoenix spoke about how the project has evolved over the course of eight years.

"Over the years it has been different, at first (it was) mostly women I was working with and those volunteering in the area. I had exhausted

my friends list," she said.

While Ms Phoenix wants to continue to interview women at a community level, she also wants to host women who have significant influence in society for her project.

Last year's edition of 'What does International Women's Day mean to me?' saw former president of the Australian Human Rights Commission Gillian Triggs get involved.

Ms Phoenix says Ms Triggs understood that she has a profile and the importance of using it to empower others through the project.

Ms Phoenix hosts beginner photography classes at Cire Community Workskills Centre in Yarra Junction.

"The results are just so amazing. The change in how they (the students) see things from beginning to end is amazing and it's great to be able to facilitate that and watch people grow."

The 'What does International Women's Day mean to me?' portraits will go up on 7 March and can be found at the rear of 219 Smith St, Fitzroy.

Rosie Lane will be a participant in the 2019 edition of the photography project.

Rocking the Memo with Petty and Stevens’ sounds

By Michael Doran

Petty Thievz bringing back the 70s. chord with audiences and Ron's heartfelt expression set the scene for an intimate musical journey.

"This will be a multi-sensory performance

Velvet Touch, Buzzing Tension Velvet Buzzsaw Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo and Toni Collette Rated MA15+ The latest film from writer-director Dan Gilroy, Velvet Buzzsaw is an innovative, darkly amusing horror film that brings the ghost and slasher genres into the cut-throat context of the art world.

After an art dealer's assistant uncovers a wealth of paintings by deceased, tormented artist Vetril Dease, a dark power strikes out with strange visions and grisly accidents against anyone profiting from these disturbing paintings.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo, who both starred in Gilroy's 2014 directorial debut Nightcrawler, anchor the film with engagingly unlikeable performances.

Russo is cunning and coldly charismatic as high-powered art dealer Rhodora, and mailcommunity.com.au

Gyllenhaal plays superficially sweet yet immensely vain art critic Morf.

The paranormal rules of Velvet Buzzsaw's world are clearly-established from the onset: a vengeful artist's spirit is attacking the main characters through his paintings.

You would think this explicit set-up would negate the tension, but Velvet Buzzsaw generates a sense of grim anticipation, a trait it shares with the slasher genre, as Morf's mental state deteriorates and you wait in expectant dread for each character to be picked off.

Unfortunately, the pacing is erratic: certain sub-plots involving a successful graffiti artist (Daveed Diggs) and a burnt-out painter (John Malkovich), and even Dease's own violent history, are shown too sparsely to carry much impact.

While slightly disjointed, Velvet Buzzsaw is a stylish and unnerving supernatural thriller, and is available for streaming on Netflix.

Ron Vincent is Cat Stevens at The Memo. and all of your senses will be assaulted," says Stuart Fenton. "We have an incredible audio visual video show on a huge screen to go with some fantastic music."

The Memo in Healesville has seen many different performing styles and two more will hit the stage on Saturday 23 March. The audience can sit, sing or stomp along to the sounds of Tom Petty and Cat Stevens and either relive their youth or find out what music was like way back in the 70s.

Stuart Fenton, who lives in Healesville, heads up Petty Thievz, a Melbourne based Tom Petty Tribute Band bringing the very best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to Australian stages.

As seasoned musicians, Petty Thievz keep true to the original sounds of the legendary Tom Petty while adding their own dash and flair to a set list that spans four decades and includes iconic hits such as Free Fallin, Refugee, I Won't Back Down and Running Down A Dream, just to name a few.

Tom Petty propelled himself into rock immortality as the consummate live performer and achieved world-wide record sales in excess of 80 million albums.

Ron Vincent masterfully pays tribute to Cat Stevens in an internationally acclaimed performance. His hauntingly beautiful vocals and performance style translates on stage to an authentic and entertaining show.

BANNER - HERB & CHILLI FESTIVAL 2019

The Yarra Valley’s spice

Logan from California found the tequila chilli shots a bit too much at last year''s event.

Welcome to Australia, Logan! test spring roll and dim sims and Australia's leading hot sauce companies will also be on site.

And for the sweet tooth, there are handmade chocolates, desserts and fresh fruit ice creams available. It is also a chance to stock up the pantry with an amazing range of sauces, herbs, spices, rubs, blends, relishes and chutneys - not to mention some unusual snacks like salami, jerky, pate and Turkish delight.

The 2019 Herb and Chilli Festival will take place on 16 to 17 March from 10am to 5pm at 125 Quayle Road in Wandin.

For more information and tickets, visit www.herbchillifestival.com.au.

The Koper family of Narre Warren loved the Mexican atmosphere at the 2018 festival.

Crowds flock to the festival.

12412709-DJ11-19

The Yarra Valley Herb and Chilli Festival started in 2012 as a local celebration of the taste and health benefits of using herbs and chillis.

The festival was started by Clive and Di Larkman as a way to promote their range of herbs, chillis and other edibles grown under the Renaissance Herbs' brand.

They are true foodies and have a great love of food, wine and everything related. They also have a passion for doing things right from day one and making sure that they always deliver a product above expectations.

They wanted their festival to be a fun, family event at which everyone involved has an amazing time and are pleased to be there.

"The festival has become a must-attend part of the food and wine scene in Melbourne," Clive said.

"It is a two-day celebration of how we use herbs and chillis in our daily lives through the presentation of food and drinks, sauces, plants and cultural gear associated with those cuisines that focus on spice and flavour.

"There will be a food court with dishes from 15 plus cuisines, four stages: lectures, cooking demonstrations, relaxed music and cultural dance and bands. Also, the Australian Chilli Cook-off is on each day. The competition stage has the Hellfire Chicken Wing Challenge, 'Tequila Shot and Holler' and the Captain Chilli eating competition. Each year we add a new competition like this year's addition of 'Chilli Snag Eating'."

The festival is a family event so entry for under 14s is free and there is a kid's area with jumping castles, face painting, pony rides and an animal farm (which are also all free).

A range of boutique and craft breweries, local wine, excellent coffee and the world's hot-

NEWS

Healesville author - again!

By Jed Lanyon Multiple award-winning Healesville based author Dr Bob Rich recently published his 18th book.

"From Depression to Contentment: a selftherapy guide" provides a step-by-step manual for improving the everyday life for those suffering with depression.

Dr Rich, now retired, has qualifications in counselling psychology, and ran a psychological counselling practice for 22 years.

Dr Rich believes that if depression was mainly a matter of heredity, it wouldn't be a growing problem. The fact of its rapid increase points the finger at society, not the individual.

"A major reason for dread, despair and unhappiness for many people is that they accurately see environmental disaster looming," he said.

"For an even larger number, this knowledge is there, but suppressed, denied or unacknowledged."

Dr Rich recommends this book to anybody suffering from depression, or has loved ones that suffer from depression or people working in the mental health field who might learn from him.

"Typically people who read my books come to think of me as their friend, I don't want to be some arrogant guide telling someone what to do," he said.

"This is the path I walked, it worked for me.

Apply it conscientiously and see how it works for you.

"I want to make a difference. I'm not so much interested in selling books, as having people read my work. I want to help make this planet at least a survivable place," Dr Rich said.

Dr Rich responds to those in need via email on his blog 'Bobbing Around'.

More information regarding Dr Rich's new book can be found on his blog. 'From Depression to Contentment: a self-therapy guide' was released in February in hard copy, and the electronic copy will be out soon.

SPORT

Fires threat delays play With bushfires threatening communities in the Upper Yarra region, the YVCA Executive took the side of caution and decided to abandoned Saturday afternoon's play.

The decision added extra intrigue going into the final round of the season, especially in the competition's top grade, DJ Strachan Shield.

Mount Evelyn locked away top position on the ladder some time ago, and the competition's leaders have been treading water waiting for the finals to arrive.

Although brilliant with the bat for most of the season, Mount Evelyn have stumbled in recent weeks, and will be looking to the final round to recapture some much needed form.

With the ball however, they have rarely missed a beat and teams have struggled to post significant totals all season. Their final round opponent will be Wandin.

Wandin have all of a sudden found themselves in a bit of a tight squeeze. After an elevation to the top grade after a month of cricket, the Bulldogs soon found their feet courtesy of some excellent batting, backed up by some steady bowling.

With points retained from their efforts in RA Finger Trophy, they looked settled in the top four at Christmas. Since Christmas, it has gone sour.

Their polish with the bat has deserted them and it has lead to sub par totals that have been chased down with ease.

They now find themselves in the middle of a log jam for finals positions. A loss next week could see them miss finals, whilst a win could secure a home final.

Seville's fortunes have been in stark contrast to Wandin's. The Blues remain undefeated since Christmas, and look the most likely to clinch a home final and to challenge Mt Evelyn's reign as premiers.

Their rise to prominence has been on the back of a change in strategy with the ball which has been most fruitful.

After Mount Evelyn dismantled their bowlers in the game before Christmas, the Blues looked to take the pace off the bowling, and leave it with the batsmen to force the pace.

Their final round clash with Yarra Junction looks to be a cracker and a precursor to what we can expect come finals time.

Although camped in fourth place, Yarra Junction could easily catapult themselves into a home final and a leg up in the semi final should they win this clash comfortably.

In RA Finger Trophy action, the top four is now settled.

The field are once again chasing Woori Yallock who are striving for back to back premierships in the grade.

The Tigers are a strong outfit built around a talented top order. Hot on their heels are a host of challengers. Seville have been the front runners for most of the journey, but recent tight losses have pegged them back a little.

Gruyere and Mt Evelyn round out the top four, and both teams have proven over the journey that they can match it with the best and certainly have the talent to take out the title.

Road deaths are down

With about 1500 kilometres of barriers rolled out, thousands of barrier hits recorded across the state, and a steep reduction in deaths on high-speed regional roads in 2018, the TAC said this infrastructure was reducing the severity of crashes and saving lives.

Of the 106 people killed on metropolitan roads in 2018, 32 were pedestrians.

Overall, 38 pedestrians died across Victoria

last year, an increase on the 31 who died in 2017.

These deaths mainly occurred in built-up areas.

Seven cyclists lost their lives in Victorian road crashes last year, down from 12 deaths in 2017, and five of those fatalities happened on metropolitan roads.

The State Government is investing in infrastructure that keeps cyclists and pedestrians

Victoria recorded its lowest number of road deaths since records began.

But the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) said 214 lives lost on the state’s roads in 2018 was still 214 too many.

Roads, Road Safety and the TAC Minister Jaala Pulford on 1 January joined representatives from the TAC, VicRoads and Victoria Police to reflect on road trauma in Victoria last year.

“Any reduction in the number of people dying on our roads is welcome but the fact remains that hundreds of Victorian families will start 2019 without loved ones - we have to do more,” she said.

The road toll was 45 fewer than in 2017 and 29 fewer than the previous record low of 243 in 2013.

The State Government’s $1.4-billion fouryear Towards Zero Action Plan reached the half way mark last year.

It aims to reduce the number of lives lost on Victorian roads to fewer than 200 by 2020.

“While this result indicates that Victoria is moving in the right direction with our approach to road safety, it is of no comfort to the families and friends of the people who died on our roads last year,” Ms Pulford said.

One of the most notable trends from the past year was the reduction in the deaths on high-speed regional roads.

Regional roads claimed the most lives in 2017, with 156 deaths.

That number dropped to 108 in 2018.

However, country people are still overrepresented in road deaths and that’s why the State Government is continuing to invest in road safety infrastructure on the state’s highest-risk roads, including the rollout of flexible safety barriers.

BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE It’s time to catch it, order and build your concrete tank NOW!!!

12404514-RA46-18

Ring Terry Miller direct for the the best best prices prices

Ph. 0260 267 021 Concrete tanks built correctly will last a life time!

Terry Miller from Terry Miller Concrete Tanks has been in the concrete tank building business for nearly 30 years. Being from country Victoria himself, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems.

Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because our tanks have 5-inch walls and a six-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30 mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. And after 28 days of curing the strength of the concrete will be between 48 and 52 mpa. And each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength in the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tank are vibrated all around to ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000, 105,000 and 120,000 either with a silo (metal) roof, concrete top or open top tanks.

The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, and this is particularly important in areas where there is high wind, or in fire prone districts. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, you will keep your home cool and wet. Or if need be, you can jump into the tank to keep cool and be protected from flames and radiant heat.

Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it! So for all your water storage needs when you are thinking of installing your next tank, please call Terry for a quote on 0419462814 or 0260267021 or check out our web site, www.terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au.

Nearly three years ago, we suffered our own fire here, in Barnawartha, and we were lucky. But it made me realise how important good water storage is. We are in for a long, hot, dry summer, and fire restrictions are in. Having an ample supply of safely stored water is imperative. So why not contact Terry now about your water supply needs, BEFORE, the heat builds up and water scarce. There is nothing more refreshing than your own cool, clear, clean water!
