The Upper Yarra Valley Historical Society is reeling from the sudden death of its president , Tom O'Meara. With this years showcase event, Crank Up, only days away, the team behind it are working feverishly to plug the huge gap that Tom's passing has left.

The volunteers organising the event are all determined to make this years Crank Up a success and said that it would be dedicated to the memory of Tom O'Meara, a devoted member

and friend for more than 10 years.

The group spoke as one in saying that the best way to honour Tom's memory and devotion was to make this Crank Up the biggest one ever and for as many locals as possible to attend the event Tom was very passionate about.

Crank Up is on the weekend of 6-7 April and this year marks its forty-third running, which last year drew more than 2,200 people.

All of the favourite attractions are back with a balance between the historical side and plenty of things to keep the kids involved, like the

Clinical Hypnotherapist Healesville www.quit-hypnosis.com

On behalf of the Healesville community I would like to thank the hard-working group of kids who took it upon themselves to clean and tidy the Watts River adjoining Coronation Park last Saturday morning (March 23rd).

This admirable initiative was instigated by Marleah who is a student at Chum Creek Primary School, and she was joined by many of her peers and their siblings as well as some other students from Healesville, Badger Creek and St. Brigids Primary Schools. The amount of rubbish they collected from the river and its surrounding area was startling!

These young people have displayed true community spirit and should be acknowledged for their environmental stewardship, initiative and diligence.

Well done, kids - I couldn't be more proud.

Mick Corr, Principal - Chum Creek Primary School.

A question of trust The local specialist for all your looring needs.

A large range of carpets and vinyls in stock.

Hang on! Hang on here a minute: is this Bill Shorten bloke for real when he, in effect, says to all Australians, "You can all, trust me with Australia's economy and border protection."

Is Bill Shorten, saying he won't change existing monetary/tax policies forcing interest rates up for business and workers alike (thus,

wiping out any wage rises; and many workers' jobs)? And a Shorten Govt won't alter Australia's proven border protection laws: resulting in again, more drowning's at sea (including so many, children); and many more illegal immigrants (throwing away passports, etc.) draining the everyday Aussie taxpayer for ever and a day?

Well now: Bill Shorten, is not only a man, who has changed his footy team but also his religion! So I ask how on Earth can you ever, trust a bloke who has not only changed his religion; but trust a bloke, who has also, changed his ... footy team!

Howard Hutchins, Chirnside Park

Gun control John Howard's gun buy-back was nothing more than a political stunt, like the economics of his Alice Springs to Darwin railway, it did not stack up. There are nearly as many guns in Australia now as in Howard's era and with the advent of computer 3D modelling any one can create a pistol/handgun. Jacinda Ardern would do well to restrict it to one handgun per household. Gun control is about the right mental approach not like America where buying a gun is like buying a packet of chips. In the country she could allow no more than 5 rifles / shotgun per household, and all weapons must be registered on a computer based register.

What is our future?

A Federal election is coming. The striking schoolchildren are right: for me, the only thing that matters is survival. This planet is in its 6th major extinction event. When we unravel the web of life, we also fall through the hole.

Other policy issues disappear in significance compared to this. The personalities of politicians are no more important than the personalities of the people who drive our buses and trains. As long as they do a competent and conscientious job, who cares?

The Coalition is a complete failure in environmental matters. Much as I like Tony Smith as a person, I shall put Libs last. The Federal Labor party is better, but not by much. For example, they still haven't ruled out Adani's disastrous coal mine.

Before the election, I ask your readers to study the environmental policies of all the parties. I have, which is why I'll be putting the Greens in number 1 place, and indeed why I became a member of the Greens.

It is worth remembering that we have a preferential voting system. Voting 1 for the Greens still allows you to put your preferred major party before the other.

Fact 3/1 Armstrong Grove Yarra Glen 3775

Yarra Ranges Council is encouraging Warburton residents to share their ideas for the future of the town to help create the Warburton Place Plan.

The place plan will be a document that will guide council's directions and actions in the area over the next 20 years, ensuring that the town's future matches the values and culture of the area.

O'Shannassy Ward Councillor, Jim Child, encouraged residents to share their thoughts

about what they love about the town and what they see for its future.

"Warburton is one of the Yarra Ranges' largest activity centres in the Yarra Valley region, with many passionate community groups and residents and a unique identity that sets it apart from other places," Cr Child said.

"There are some major projects happening in Warburton in the coming years, from the Warburton Recreation Precinct through to the Mountain Bike Destination.

"We want to make sure that as Warburton grows, it does so in a way that reflects the people who live, work and play here.

"Now, we want people to think about what Warburton will look like in 20 years, how the town will look and feel, what will be different and what they think should stay the same.

"We'll have staff at the Warburton Arts Centre from 10am-4pm on Thursdays in March and 10am-4pm on Tuesdays in April," Cr Child said.

IN BRIEF Roadworks

Ecotopia 2019 a hit

By Michael Doran Offering a kaleidoscope of activities, performers, healers and beautiful food, Ecotopia 2019 has again drawn hundreds of happy people from throughout the Yarra Valley and beyond.

Ecotopia Coordinator, Chelsea McNab said this years event is the biggest one so far. "It's fantastic, everything looks really well attended and the whole festival is really vibrant and alive," she said.

With a program of 16 events and a healing space offering massages, tarot readings and intuitive heart healing there was certainly something for everyone, no matter what the age or inclination.

Asked about the festivals success, Chelsea said its main attraction is that there are so many community groups involved and most of the things to do are free.

"I think involving people and showcasing not for profits in an affordable way makes it really accessible to families," she said. "There is so much for kids to get involved in with lots of workshops and giveaways."

A big attraction was the huge inflatable whale, the star attraction of 'The Whales Tale, a theatre piece put together to highlight the damage done to the environment by plastics in our waterways.

Other big hits were The Dreaming Space Circus, the didgeridoo workshop and The Valley's Got Talent performances.

"Thanks to our sponsors, it has been great to be able to offer all that for free and all the multicultural performances bring so much colour and vibrancy to the day," Chelsea added.

While this years event is barely over, planning for next year is already well underway and the rumour is it will be a 1920s theme, with all of Yarra Junction expected to dress up accordingly for the day.

The Whale Of A Tale focussed on waste disposal.

Yarra Ranges Council will be undertaking major road works on Macintyre Lane in Yering.

Council officer will be out there doing road pavement works for about eight weeks, starting on Sunday 24 March, and finishing late May with sealing.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane from 7:00am to 6:00pm most days, with traffic management in place.

Council have stated that there's going to be delays but urge driver to obey traffic controllers and roadworks speed limits while passing through.

To make sure the project is done as quickly as possible; workers will be working through the night and closing both lanes on MacIntyre Lane from Victoria Road to Melba Highway from 7pm-6am on Sunday 24, Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 March. The road will be open to one lane during the days.

Residents will still be able to get to and from their homes, but your best bet for avoiding delays if heading through the area will be to detour via Victoria Road and Coldstream West Road.

There are some illuminated boards out to let drivers know about the works - and written letters to nearby residents so they know what's coming up.

Badger Weir brake-in Between 8 and 12 March, portables being used by workers at Badger Weir were broken into and two laptops stolen.

Police are reminding people that badger Weir is still closed and no entry is allowed.

Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity is urged to contact Healesville Police on 5962 4422.

Unfathomable risk

Yarra Valley FM 99.1 covered the event.

Before 2pm on 9 march Yarra Glen police intercepted a vehicle performing a dangerous overtake in heavy traffic on the Yarra Glen Bypass.

A 50-year-old man subsequently returned a breath test reading of .155, over three times the legal limit.

Police were stunned to also find that the 50-year-old had three young children as passengers.

The man will face court for drink driving and overtaking when unsafe.

Yarra Glen Primary School finds harmony for students

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Glen Primary School celebrated both World Harmony Day and World Down Syndrome Day on Thursday 21 March.

The school encouraged students to dress up in the attire of another culture or wear the colour orange, recognised as the colour for World Harmony Day. Students also celebrated World Down Syndrome Day by wearing crazy and colourful socks.

The occasion was especially significant for one grade 1 student named Ben, who has Down syndrome.

Ben’s mother, Rebecca Holland spoke about the importance of celebrating World Down Syndrome Day. “This year is probably the first year that Ben has embraced the fact that he has Down syndrome,” she said.

“Other years he said ‘no I don’t have Down

syndrome’, So this year I know that in class when they spoke about celebrating World Down syndrome day, and Ben stood up and said ‘I have Down syndrome!’, so he’s actually taking it on.

“I think that he’s thinking about it much more positively this year and I think celebrating it at the school really helps as well ... It’s just a little bit of who he is and that’s how we try and approach it,” Ms Holland said.

Teacher and Wellbeing Coordinator Jessica Willison spoke about how the school is celebrating both causes.

“Two of our school values are inclusiveness and respect and that’s what World Harmony Day is all about.

“We want the kids to be understanding of other cultures; we want to teach them about respect and inclusiveness.

“There isn’t a whole lot of cultural diversity at this school so we really want them to understand that Australia is a multicultural country

and that we are accepting of others and their differences.

“With the dress-up component of the day, we’ve asked everyone to bring a gold coin donation and that money will go to Down Syndrome Australia.”

Students took part in special activities for the day, including making friendship bracelets for each other.

Ms Holland highlighted how supportive Yarra Glen Primary School had been throughout Ben’s time at the school.

“There was never any question about if he would be welcome at the school,” she said.

“I know some families have had a really challenging experience of having to convince their child to start (at other schools).

“There was no question from Yarra Glen, it was more around what they can do to support him and help him fit in rather than whether he could come,” Ms Holland said.

“It’s always been an easy journey.”

Healesville’s hops history Did you know that Healesville once had a thriving hops industry?

At its peak in the 1880s there were at least seven known commercial hop gardens and some smaller, probably non-commercial gardens.

It began at Coranderrk Aboriginal Station in 1872 when manager John Green introduced the crop as a part of his policy of self-sufficiency for the settlement, which had been established in 1863.

The enterprise started with planting 11 acres, extended by a further 10 acres in the late 1870s.

The operation involved not only clearing of land and the planting of crops but also cutting 26,000 ’hop poles’ and building an aqueduct, a kiln and a cooling house.

Coranderrk hops were renowned for their quality and won several notable prizes.

After he left Coranderrk in 1874, Mr Green owned a selection of 82.5 acres on Don Road between Fernshaw Road and the Grace Burn, with three acres under cultivation managed by his son John Junior.

He went on to developed his own ’some-

Hop fields in Healesville. what triangular-shaped’ hop garden on the banks of the Grace Burn near where Maroondah Retirement Village is today.

He had up to 10 acres under cultivation.

By 1889, 23 bins were in use with about 50

’hands’, 13 of whom were Chinese.

Steel’s hop garden was 11 acres on the Watts at the end of Wilson Street, and it was managed by John Joseph Wilson.

The kilns were on the south side of the Watts

and irrigated from a weir in Queens Park, using a pipe running down Wilson Street and across the river to the garden.

Anthony Gilyard hop garden was off the Fernshaw Road in the 1890s, in the area where Maroondah Dam was later built.

Brough Smyth’s hop garden had a plantation from 1882, managed by his son Arthur on land adjacent to John Green’s selection.

Other hop gardens were located in the district and one, at least, was located on Donnelly’s Weir Road on the property known as Maroondahville, owned by the Bancell family.

In the picking season, especially during March, local schools were closed in order that children could be involved.

Whole families took part, earning up to £1 a day.

Visitors came on special trains run from Melbourne to pick the crops and the harvesting was quite a social event, with people singing as they worked and enjoying the picnic atmosphere.

Throughout the 1890s a gradual decline in hop growing occurred in Healesville.

In the 1880s and ‘90s average beer consumption in Australia dropped, reducing demand for hops. The 1890s also saw drought, floods and infestation of red spider mite reducing quality.

The one notable exception was at Coranderrk where crops continued to be harvested until 1918. The heyday of Healesville hop growing had passed and it was no longer possible to see the fields of trailing vines gracefully clinging to each other, smothered in clusters of beautiful white flowers. Time and tastes had changed and the world moved on.

Investing in health

By Jed Lanyon The federal government will invest $4.5 million over three years to support the mental health of young Australians in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges.

The funding will help establish an integrated Youth Health Hub, which will include a headspace service, through the Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network.

The hub will bring together local existing services, making it easier for young people in the area to access vital mental health and general health services.

Minister for Health, Greg Hunt said that young people in the local area face many challenges and these new services will provide a significant boost of support.

"I want our young people to know they are not alone on their journey, and that headspace is there to deliver quality frontline support and coordinate the right interventions for people who are at risk," Mr Hunt said.

Around 560,000 Australian children and adolescents are estimated to have a mental illness and one in four young Australians aged 16 to 24 experience mental illness in any given year.

the funding at the Yarra Ranges Council and welcomed the establishment of a joint Youth Health Hub and headspace service.

"This announcement will help address the growing needs around youth mental health in our area where almost a third of the population is under 20 years old."

"A Youth Health Hub and headspace in Lilydale will deliver more health care resources for the Casey electorate and importantly, lead to improved service co-ordination."

"I will be working with Yarra Ranges Council and other community organisations to ensure a suitable site for the hub is found quickly," Mr Smith said.

Three schools in the Yarra Valley have been selected from over a thousand applicants to be a recipient of a Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant as part of the supermarkets' commitment to grow the next generation of environmental champions.

The Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants program aims to inspire students with handon projects focusing on sustainable food production, improving waste management practices and enhancing native habitats.

The program is being funded with proceeds from the sale of the Woolworths 'Bag for good'.

Woolworths will be providing up to half a million dollars in grants to more than 500 schools nationally during this first round of the program.

Woolworths Group Manager, Lorena Hutchings said; "We're so proud and excited to see the funds raised from our 'Bag for good' going directly into our local community through the Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants program.

"We are inspired by the students at schools across the region who are playing an active role in ensuring a greener future for our community and can't wait to see their project come to life.

"In partnership with our local customers, we can continue to empower this next generation of school students to work towards a more sustainable Australia."

To coincide with the announcement of the first Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants recipients, an interactive map has been uploaded to the Landcare Australia website, which will show in real time how schools nationwide are progressing with their activity.

The reusable Woolworths 'Bag for good' was launched on June 20 last year, when the supermarket removed single-use plastic shopping bags across all stores nationwide. The supermarket has since taken more than one billion single-use plastic bags out of circulation.

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.

Important safety information you should know Local residents and communities still need to ensure their Bushfire Plan is up to date and understood by everyone.

While AusNet Services and the Victorian Government believe these upgrades to the network will make a real difference in reducing the risk of bushfires, it is important to note that the technology, known as Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiter (REFCL), does not eliminate all risk of bushfires from powerlines.

Council’s female push

By Jed Lanyon Potential female candidates for the 2020 Yarra Ranges Council election and those who wish to support them are invited to participate in The Journey Begins workshops starting in April.

Advocacy group Voices of Women is working with the council, Cire Services Incorporated and the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) to encourage gender equity and balance among the Yarra Ranges Council councillors.

VoW president and small business owner Sue West said the group was delighted to be running the project for a second year.

"We are really looking forward to meeting the women who attend the launch on Thursday 21 March, who are interested in becoming a candidate or supporting candidates," Ms West said.

"The eight sessions following the launch will feature a range of guest speakers provid-

ing insight into how local government works, the role of a councillor and how to develop key skills needed to perform the role of a councillor, as well as planning ahead for your campaign."

Ms West said any women who were interested in local government were welcome to attend the launch and book into the sessions, even if they did not participate last year.

The 2018 workshops attracted about 50 participants and 80 per cent said they learnt something new about local government.

About half said they learnt something new about why it's important to have women represented on local councils.

VLGA Chief Executive Officer Kathryn Arndt said women across the state had a significant contribution to make to public life.

"Their connections to their community, their skills and unique perspectives mean they are rich with potential to be successful and savvy councillors," Ms Arndt said.

Along with VoW, the VLGA is here to connect women with the knowledge, skills and contacts to succeed as candidates for the October 2020 local government elections.

"Women make up more than 50 per cent of Victoria's population; they should make up more than just 38 per cent of local government councillors in Victoria.

"It is critical that we encourage women from a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and abilities to run for local government."

Mayor Tony Stevenson said VoW was doing a great job of engaging and supporting many women to take a more informed and active role in local democracy.

"I've supported VoW from the beginning," Cr Stevenson said.

"Greater female participation will ensure our communities and local government will be more rounded, relevant and representative."

It is an opportunity to learn how the owners, Dale and Martin, have established and manage their garden and how they use the produce to live off the land. Dale said they want to help and inspire people to take a similar approach to self-reliance through permaculture.

The fruits of their labours are everywhere, even extending to fruit wines, but it has come about through a lot of hard work and learning Martin said.

"It's a beautiful place to work and it is so quiet and peaceful it's a pleasure to come out into the garden," he said. "The workload is substantial but you just have to start somewhere, even somewhere small, with veggies and add from there. You just have to start."

Aurrum with solar power

By Michael Doran Aurrum Aged Care has become the latest Yarra Valley business to install a solar power system through the Environmental Upgrade Agreement program from Yarra Ranges council and the Sustainable Melbourne Fund.

Aurrum has installed over 300 solar panels producing 99 kilowatts of power and general manager Peter Cullen said this was a leap forward in ensuring the environmental sustainability of the facility.

"Aurrum are delighted to partner with the Council and Sustainable Melbourne to undertake this transformational project," he said.

"We are committed to continued investment in the community and local projects."

The Environmental Upgrade Agreement (EUA) program allows businesses or commercial property owners to finance environmental upgrades, such as solar power, and repay the loan through their council rates.

Yarra Ranges Councillor, Fiona McAllister said that Aurrum Aged Care was the third

Cr Fiona McAllister with Peter Cullen, Tamara Alexandrovsky and Philip Smith from Aurrum. 191533 businesses in the Yarra Valley to sign an EUA with the council.

"Last year we had fantastic success with

Four Pillars Gin Distillery installing a solar system which has dramatically reduced their reliance on the main grid.

"We're having some great conversations with businesses across Yarra Ranges who will be able to benefit from an EUA and it is expected that there will be a few more projects underway this year.

"As one of our larger aged care facilities on this side of the valley, offsetting power through solar panels will have a huge impact to their running costs and will reduce their environmental footprint."

Scott Bocskay, Chief Executive at the Sustainable Melbourne Fund, said that Victoria is the fastest growing EUA market in Australia.

"We are proud to work with these leading local businesses, such as Aurrum and Four Pillars, to demonstrate the broad application of EUAs to finance projects like rooftop mounted solar and batteries," he said.

"It's great to have councils like Yarra Ranges joining in to support the local business community."

Drinking a chardy for charity can help

By Jed Lanyon In February 2018, a group of vino-lovers came together to pick excess grapes donated by De Bortoli Rochford and Tarrawarra to create an exclusive drop that would be sold for charity.

Vinomofo's Homeless Grapes Project brought winemakers, growers, producers and families together to help create The Homeless Grapes Yarra Valley chardonnay.

The wine is now on sale on Vinomofo's website with all of the proceeds going directly to St Mary's House of Welcome, a frontline charity with an open door policy for those experiencing homelessness, or those living in

poverty in Melbourne.

Vinomofo said that the coming together of grapes from Tarrawarra, De Bortoli and Rochford creates a harmonious whole that seems to have amplified the best parts of each.

Justin Dry, Vinomofo's CEO and co-founder is looking forward to seeing Australians stock up on a delicious drop to back a good cause.

"The Homeless Grapes Project kicked off in Adelaide in 2015 and we've been looking forward to bringing it to Victoria ever since," he said.

"St Mary's House of Welcome is doing a lot of incredible work for Melburnians experiencing homelessness and to see so many people

donating their time to get this project off the ground in the Yarra Valley has been surreal."

"Last year our McLaren Vale shiraz made more than $59,000 for the Hutt Street Centre in Adelaide.

"That is truly life-changing stuff for hundreds of people who have been doing it really tough," Mr Dry said.

"Over the four years that we've been working on this project, we've donated more than $150,000 to local charities and we're not planning to stop any time soon."

Dog day fun in the sun

By Michael Doran The Healesville Rotary Club 'Dogs Day Out' was again a big hit for the local canine population on Sunday 18 March and despite the heat more than 200 people participated in the event.

Club community liaison manager, Ian Vine said that they believe the day will raise around $10,000 for distribution to local sporting clubs.

"Without our sponsors we couldn't make this happen and soon we will write to clubs in the area inviting them to submit an application for a donation," he said.

"This really is a dog's day out and people are really doing it for their pooch. When you see people there it's all about the dogs and the people, although they have a good time, are almost secondary," he said.

The pictures from the day certainly point to the dogs there all having a great day out.

This was the fourth year of the event and Ian said "It's is definitely on again next year."

Ladies lining up for BMX

By Jed Lanyon Lilydale BMX Club is encouraging girls and women to head to the track and try BMX racing for free in May. President Ian Henderson said the club wanted all schools, youth and community groups to know about the opportunity to try this fun and challenging sport.

"We are inviting females of all ages to come along and try BMX racing and hope that one or two of the sessions will be dedicated to female riders," he said.

"We're conscious of the fact many women from early on face different expectations and challenges based on social conditioning and subtle biases and may not initially consider BMX as a sport."

"Those who are more serious about pursuing it can sign up to undergo the license process and six group coaching sessions."

Yarra Ranges Council has provided the club with funding through its Grants for Community program to help increase the number of female riders participating in BMX racing.

Pro riders Phoebe and Julie, with Carly, Tarni, Zara, Ava. The sports pathway project starts with the RideIn2BMX Come and Try Day for groups on Saturday 4 May and is open to everyone.

Following the event, the club plans to offer a series of free group coaching sessions with riders' first mandatory four month license fully paid.

"It's a little known fact that you need a BMX license to train and compete in the sport, and only about 1500 Victorians have their license," Mr Henderson said.

"Most people think of BMX as the trick riding that you see in skate parks.

"However, BMX racing is all about negotiat-

ing dirt racetracks in a sprint with other riders.

It's fast-paced, energetic and fun."

Mr Henderson said the club was very family focused and it was still quite common to see parents and their children riding at the same events.

"Being a relatively small sport in Victoria, there is a lot of collaboration and support between clubs, and riders often make life-long friendships through the sport," Mr Henderson said.

"We have previously hosted coaching sessions aimed at bringing in non-riding female participants such as volunteers, mums and sisters to ride but we want to take this idea further and offer a development pathway program that builds skills and confidence among girls and women who are new to BMX." The club is seeking increased memberships for female riders of all ages and to see reoccurring memberships of active riders and more women competing at club, state and national competitions.

No burn-offs yet - restrictions are still on

By Michael Doran Despite summer coming to a close, the CFA wants to make sure the public remain aware that fire restrictions have not yet been lifted.

CFA District 13 Acting Operations Manager Tim Holland said there a number of large fires continuing to burn across the state, with some smaller fires keeping firefighters on fire grounds for weeks.

“Although we have experienced some cooler days during the beginning of March, this has not been accompanied by any meaningful rainfall and the landscape is still exception-

ally dry,” he said. “Under these conditions, the lighting of fires in the open places the community at considerable risk.”

The restrictions mean that no fires can be lit in the open air without a written permit from the CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer. The CFA says that conducting burn offs without a permit puts lives and property at risk and places a drain on stretched CFA volunteer resources.

Lighting a fire in the open air without a permit is an offence, and can bring a penalty of over $19,000 and/or 12 months imprisonment.

Permits will only be considered for specific

Mending all the bends The team at Maroondah Panel Service has been in the panel-beating business in Healesville for over 12 years.

During that time, they have developed a fine reputation for their quality work and friendly, professional customer service.

Their aim is to ensure all the cars, vans and trucks that arrive in their workshop are restored to their original condition.

Shane from Maroondah Panel Service said repairing a damaged vehicle could be a la-

bour-intensive process.

While there are many handy guides online about repairing a dent or a bingle yourself, in reality it’s not a job for amateurs - especially if you’re aiming for a perfect finish.

Remember, the resale value of your car depends on it looking as good as possible.

So even if you save a few dollars, in the end it could cost you getting a top price.

Shane said it was important to have a professional tend to the job.

After finishing trade school, Shane got an apprenticeship and has been a panel beater for 27 years.

ENTERTAINMENT

Students to sing at St Paul’s Cathedral

By Jed Lanyon Students and teachers from Little Yarra Steiner School will be performing St John Passion

by Johann Sebastian Bach at Melbourne's St Paul's Cathedral on Friday 5 April.

Music Coordinator Damien Callan said the students from the small country school do an excellent and polished performance of this complex and difficult work, and most importantly, they love it.

"A positive culture has grown amongst the students over the past 14 years and students regularly return after completing their VCE studies to be part of the performance, singing and playing in the orchestra," Mr Callan said.

"It started small with Year 11 and 12 students and teachers and has grown to a whole school involvement offering a gift to the community each year.

"Students learn about giving to the community at Easter and the joy that comes with it," he said.

"Melbourne is known as Australia's cultural capital offering a huge calendar of events.

"We want to give our country students a taste of the city and an experience that they will never forget.

"In return we believe we will offer the fruits of more than a decade's work of musical effort by students and teachers at Little Yarra Steiner School," Mr Callan said Each year, the high school students perform over an hour and a half of Bach's St John Passion.

"Bach spent 20 years refining this early Baroque work.

"Baroque is the music that teenagers would

Little Yarra Steiner School students performing. understand the least but St John Passion is somehow a bridge for students to enter into a deep experience of classical music.

"Initially the students didn't like it. It is a

difficult work to master, but it's grown over the years and each year the older students mentor the younger ones. It really brings them together," Mr Callan said.

"We encourage everyone to come and help us celebrate the diversity of creativity in the Yarra Ranges region and see our latest exhibitions," Ms Lynn said.

For her new solo exhibition Clearing, Katie West weaves the many threads of her practice together: natural dyeing, meditation and the creation of reading and listening spaces where the voices of Indigenous people dominate.

Opening at TarraWarra Museum of Art on 23 March 2019, Clearing continues Ms West's multisensory installations which call for a renewal of human connections with and within the natural environment.

The exhibition is comprised of floor to ceiling textile works, cushions and seating, all naturally dyed using plants collected from the local region, as well as key texts by Indigenous writers including Kerry Arabena, Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin and Bruce Pascoe.

It is a space to listen, read and converse, and ask ourselves: How do we relate to this country? How do we relate to the earth?

As Ms West described, "Clearing is a space to recall with our bodies that this is a world that emerges through reciprocity, the infinite instances of chemical exchange and dialogue between plants, animals, microbes, natural elements and phenomena.

"Naturally dyed fabrics carrying the colour and scent of country create an opening in a landscape and political climate where it is easy to forget our place in the complex systems that sustain life on this planet.

"This is the setting for meditation, reading, listening and conversation, where we can come together to consider a global outlook that is grounded in Wurundjeri country and the bioregion within which TarraWarra Museum of Art is situated," Ms West said.

Katie West: Clearing is on display at TarraWarra Museum of Art, 313 Healesville-Yarra Glen Road, Healesville, from 23 March - 19 May 2019.

Cold War is a sombre, elegant but unfocused Polish historical drama about Polish singer Zuzanna (Joanna Kulig) and her lover and producer Wiktor (Tomasz Kot) as they weather a turbulent relationship in an equally-turbulent mid-twentieth-century Europe.

Cold War draws powerfully upon parallels for Zuzanna's tragic journey.

In Eastern Europe, Zuzanna resents her forced participation in saccharine choral pieces about Stalin and Communism, but after escaping to Paris, she resents the inane lyrics and commercialisation in her new singing career, and Wiktor, who also fled Poland, becomes deceitful and controlling.

Brought to life with stark black-and-white cinematography, post-war Poland and Paris are dramatically different settings - Poland is rustic and austere but defined by lively folk

music, while Paris is affluent and literally jazzy - but wherever she goes, Zuzanna cannot escape exploitation.

Unfortunately, Wiktor has little function in the narrative, serving only as an intermittent lover and obstacle for Zuzanna, and the film has severe pacing problems.

Cold War is a languid, character-based journey full of pathos, but it abruptly jumps across years and countries at a time, leaving crucial context behind. Zuzanna's frustration and despair are palpable in a riveting central performance from Kulig, but these disorienting transitions - often shifting from oppression to relative freedom without explanation - sap the film of tension.

Cold War is a poignant, bleakly beautiful film, but the jarring cuts and sparse details render it a moderately frustrating watch.

Jessica’s platypus quest

By Casey Neill Dr Jessica Thomas couldn't find anyone to answer her questions about the platypus.

So the Healesville Sanctuary keeper decided to find the answers herself.

Dr Thomas graduated with a PhD in platypus biology in December last year.

The journey started with a hand-reared the monotreme named Millsom.

"When you start as a zookeeper you need to take whatever contracts are available," she said.

There was a vacancy on the platypus team at Healesville so she took it on thinking it'd "be alright".

She met Millsom.

"I thought he was the best thing I'd ever seen, from his appearance to his personality," she said, her face lighting up.

"The more questions I asked about them, the more I realised there weren't the answers.

"No one knew the answers to my questions.

"I realised that if I wanted to find answers I had to work out the answer for myself.

"Originally I went to the written scientific literature and had a look and got in contact with a few field researchers who'd be studying them out in the wild for most of their lives.

"They had some ideas but they didn't know about their breeding biology, which is one of the things we were working on here."

Some of the other keepers at the sanctuary shared some observations but nothing measured.

"Human perception can often not be the same as a measured result, but it was a starting point," Dr Thomas said.

"The keepers here, a lot of what they'd seen them doing was stuff field researchers had never seen in 40 years."

There was an untapped knowledge base at the zoo.

Dr Thomas said a lot of the newer staff had

Dr Jessica Thomas with the platypus that started it all, Millsome. university study behind them, but zoo keeping was traditionally a trade.

"So a lot of that information from a long time ago never got published. A lot of that information dies with the keepers," she said.

She spent six years researching and writing a 250-page thesis with a focus on platypus breeding.

"I studied every aspect of the breeding season that they go through," she said.

"Diet and food preference as it changed across the seasons, how much energy they needed ...

"I studied breeding interactions between males and females, how much time was spent in courtship, and mating behaviours.

"The most important thing I found was the females actually control the breeding encounters."

Dr Thomas explained that the males were bigger than the females, venomous and territorial.

"She has several different strategies to protect herself until she's ready to mate," she said.

"One is to reduce her activity, spending more time sleeping.

"She can change her sleeping pattern so she's awake during the day while the male is asleep.

"She also flight uses a flight response - she will leave the area. So having a large space for them is really important."

The female platypus uses courtship to assess the qualities she's looking for in a mate.

Dr Thomas discovered that to do this, they swam around in same pond without making contact.

"Only when they're ready to mate, the go in," she said.

"I answered a lot of questions about how these animals breed and what I need to look for in the breeding program.

"Some years they breed and some years they don't.

Employment V

"When they don't you don't know why.

"Perhaps I still don't know why, but I've got more ideas about what to do.

"All up I found that breeding, even for a year, for a female platypus is incredibly expensive for time and energy for them."

She has to eat a huge amount of food to control the breeding encounters, build a nest, feed her young milk and give them care.

Dr Thomas studied a wild Badger Creek population as well.

"The young hang around in mum's territory for one to two years, eating her food resources," she said.

"You breed slowly, invest a lot in the few offspring you have, and they're more likely to survive to be an adult, more likely to breed and pass on your genetics.

"Maybe that's why they don't breed every year - they're not supposed to."

She wants her research to help other zoos to improve their programs.

Dr Thomas always wanted to work with animals.

"I think like many young women I wanted to be a marine biologist," she said.

"Then I discovered that 98 per cent of marine biologists studied seaweed."

She had a quirky lecturer at the time - who ended up being PHD supervisor - who was fascinated by Australian animals.

"I became hooked on those," she said.

She said the zoo was keen to support more research.

"For the moment I'm doing more mindless jobs, like scraping algae, and enjoying spending a bit more time with the animals," she said.

She wants to look at how juveniles interact with their mother.

"It will influence how we manage the young that we breed here," she said.

Fun run in the rain

By Jamie Strudley In a busy weekend for the Yarra Ranges Athletics club, the junior athletes had one last chance to set a new personal best or compete in their favourite event in the last competition of the track and field season at Morrison Reserve.

Unfortunately the rain came and limited the range of events on offer, but it didn't stop the athletes racing hard in damp but still conditions, perfect for running fast.

In a taste of the coming change in seasons, the open age athletes lead the members on a cross country warm- up, before the club colours were tested in a tug-o-war, seeing the Jaguars win the duel of strength.

More traditional races and field events were run with great endeavour, some parents being challenged to race putting family pride on the line.

The highlight of the morning was the 100m handicap races.

Many athletes lined up multiple times to try and escape or chase depending on their mark.

The smiles and determination, not to mention the close finishes were memorable.

The Little Athletics members will gather

Participants in the 5km fun run.

Saturday 30 March for their end of season presentation day.

Sunday 24 March was Fun Run day. 800 runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters gathered at the Lilydale Lake parklands to participate in the Yarra Ranges Athletics with Spectrum Journeys Inc Fun Run 2019.

Entries were significantly higher than last year, creating a fantastic atmosphere for all involved.

From national standard athletes, to the very youngest attempting their first ever race, the event catered for everyone.

Spectacular bunch starts kicked off unique courses that explored the wonderful surrounds of the Lilydale Lake, all distances tackled the

'Hospital Hill' to overlook the surrounding area and be impressed by their efforts to reach the top.

Over distances of 2km, 5km and 10km, the participants supporting the fundraising event to assist the work being done in our local community by Yarra Ranges Athletics and Spectrum Journeys Inc. The 580 entrants, combined with the financial support by Max Brown Real Estate, Medical for Everybody and Kinley Estate, has delivered a fundraising result of over $10,000.

Kate Johnson of Spectrum Journeys Inc was ecstatic by this outcome saying, "Our state government funding is soon coming to an end, events like this allow our service to continue supporting families in the Yarra Ranges, and surrounding areas" The feedback from all involved was enthusiastic and positive, meaning the event will continue again in 2020.

The race leaders for the Sunday 24 March races were: Zoe Clarke 8m11s, Ky Harris 8m23s, Indigo Linde 22m13s, Mitchell Pointon 23m41s, Male James Laven 17m39s, Female Grace Muller 21m58s, Harry Norman 35m30s, and Lauren Starr 43m09s.

Back to back flags won

By Chris Anderson Mount Evelyn and Woori Yallock have completed back to back flags in DJ Strachan Shield and RA Finger Trophy respectively.

Both teams completed dominant seasons, and although challenged across the journey, mastered their opposition in comprehensive victories on the competition's biggest day.

For the competition's premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, it was left to Mount Evelyn were defending their title against Seville.

Early morning rain on the Saturday morning looked to curtail proceedings, but the skies cleared and a full day's play of intense cricket followed.

Mount Evelyn won the toss, and duly elected to bat, keen to brush off a mediocre finish to the season with the willow.

After great success with their opening bowling combination, Seville stuck with Marcus Smith and Liam Kay with the new ball in a bid to strangle the life out of the free scoring Mounters' bats.

For most part the strategy worked, and both Jesse Fraser and Andrew Giblin, although looking comfortable at the wicket, found scoring opportunities tough to come by.

The pair would hold their nerve, and inch by inch they would add to the tally which blossomed into a useful half century partnership.

The game was played at a frenetic pace, as the Seville slow bowling brigade whizzed through their overs trying to hustle the batsmen with some tight overs.

A staggering 55 overs would be bowled by afternoon tea, which had both teams scouring their rule books to work out their game plans as the game was evenly poised at 2/102.

Gareth Fraser and Jon Williams would combine for another useful half century partnership as the game ground to a crawl as the Seville outfit looked to reduce the amount of

overs they looked likely to bowl.

The pair would add some urgency to their scoring, and unfortunately for Williams, it would cost him his wicket when he was run out for 30.

Gareth Fraser would push on to a fine innings of 66 which would anchor the late assault.

This would be matched by the fine efforts of Andy Kay who would salute with a five wicket haul in another marathon stint with the ball that almost matched that of his son.

Mark Sandfort would prove to be a more than capable ally as he finished with excellent figures of 3/28.

Eventually Mount Evelyn would be dismissed in the shadows of stumps with the score on 203.

Both teams would've rated their chances on day two with neither side in a totally commanding position.

Seville would opt for their most experienced players at the top, with Andy Kay and Leigh Aitkins and the pair started with positive intent and soon saw the opening bowlers off.

Unfortunately for the Blues that is where the resistance ended.

Kane Jones and Gareth Fraser took the control with the ball and the game.

The pair would bowl unchanged for 31 overs to dismantle their opposition.

Jones was the chief destroyer taking a remarkable 8/7 in a devastating performance.

Fraser would be no less effective with the ball, and his 2/21 wasn't a true reflection of his efforts with the ball.

Mount Evelyn now completes back to back flags in the top grade from appearing in three consecutive deciders.

They were clearly the dominant side in Strachan Shield, and their victory was thoroughly deserved.

In RA Finger Trophy action, Woori Yallock was equally impressive in their title defence against Gruyere.

Woori Yallock batted first, and they were soon in control as the experienced pairing of Ryan Smith and Mick Dwyer took the early ascendency.

The pair would put together an impressive

This week’s crossword proudly sponsored by

The Heritage Family

180 run opening partnership that would almost put the contest to bed.

Gruyere stalwart, Matt Tilney, would finally break through removing Dwyer, and when Worlley and Smith followed soon after, the Scorpions swooped on a little opening.

Smith's brilliant century was something to behold as he made 127 runs off 154 deliveries rendering the Gruyere attack helpless.

Gruyere would fight back, but the early work of the openers, allowed the likes of Cal Ferguson, who scored a tidy 48 runs, the freedom to bat with little consequence.

The Tigers would lose wickets in the pursuit of an unassailable chase, but they would push their score to an imposing 9/267 when stumps were drawn.

Gruyere would make it tough for the Tigers early with Adam Waixel making an excellent half century.

Adam Dunn would collect early wickets (2/18), whilst Ryan Smith (4/23) and Cal Ferguson (3/63) would ensure the pressure would remain for the entire innings.

With the last four wickets falling without adding to the score, Gruyere succumbed for 123 a long way from their target of 267.

That makes it four flags in five years for the Tigers with two of those in the premier grade.

MOTORING

Pearson’s composure It was a cool, calm and collected approach that Cameron Pearson carried into the recent Australian Late Model Title at Sydney's Valvoline Raceway; an approach that ultimately allowed him to achieve his new mantle as Australia #2.

While he recently experienced a challenging run throughout the USA vs WA Invasion Tour over in Western Australia, the Healesvillebased racer refused to let his nerves or expectations get the better of him.

The opening night of competition was an almost flawless one for Pearson, who came out on top of his first heat race before backing up that result with a second-place finish in heat race two.

These results saw him qualify in pole position for the first of two preliminary feature races, which he then went on to lead for the entire distance to clinch his maiden Valvoline Raceway win.

Despite the fact that he was topping the points heading into the second night of competition after what had been a brilliant start to his Australian Title campaign, Pearson understood the importance of not getting ahead of himself, with another tough night of racing in store.

No doubt by virtue of his composure, the 19-year-old racer's campaign once again couldn't have gotten underway in a better way, winning his third and final heat race and pipping Callum Harper in the pole shuffle to earn the pole position start for the 40-lap Australian Title-deciding feature race.

While he was quick to take the lead off the starting line, remaining there for the opening five laps, Pearson committed to running the bottom of the track - a decision that initially proved costly as he slipped all the way back to seventh.

Managing to keep out of trouble during what had become a race of attrition, Pearson had made his way back up to second place with 12 laps remaining and it was there that he remained until greeting the chequered flag

Cameron Pearson's car in action. and securing a hard-fought runner-up finish.

"I'm absolutely stoked with second in an Australian Title feature race that had a little bit of everything," Pearson said.

"The team and I were in high spirits after our night one performance, but we made sure that we didn't psych ourselves out too much.

"We just broke down the event and took it one race at a time, which allowed us to focus

on the task at hand and it definitely all paid off," he said.

Pearson will no doubt be riding a wave of confidence heading into the remaining major events this season, which includes the NSW Title on March 9 back at Valvoline Raceway, followed by the Easternapolis on May 4 at Valvoline Raceway.

Well within contention for the Victorian

Late Model Club Championship, currently sitting second in the point standings just one point off the lead, Pearson also plans to contest the remaining Club Championship rounds.

"The whole team is really looking forward to the rest of the season and this Australian Title result has definitely given us some added drive as complete the rest of the season," Pearson said.

New Toyota HiAce reaches Australia in middle of year and safety that today’s motorists demand for private use.

“The semi-bonnet design makes it significantly easier and quicker to replace parts such as the oil and air filters, battery, and coolant."

The new HiAce range will come equipped with a reversing camera, up to nine airbags and the option for a digital rear-view mirror.

Toyota has increased the towing capacity to 1900kg, an increase of up to 500kg.

The HiAce range will be offered with two new engines, a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo charged diesel or a 3.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, both available with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

Toyota’s latest HiAce range will be its sixth generation, with the prior generation being released in Australia more than 15 years ago.

Toyota has revealed plans to release a newgeneration HiAce van and bus range in Australia in mid-2019.

The new HiAce van is expected to achieve a five-star safety rating and will boast advanced safety technologies including a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection.

Toyota Australia vice president of sales and marketing Sean Hanley said the new HiAce range would meet the safety, comfort and reliability needs of all driver types.

“All-new HiAce is the total solution for transporting cargo, tourists, workers and families,” Mr Hanley said.

“Beyond expanding the vehicle's core mission as capable, durable and reliable transport, it has now stepped up to deliver the comfort
