Henk shares life

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Junction resident Henk Boer is publishing an autobiography that will be launched at Milwarra Primary School hall on Saturday 22 June at 2pm.

Mr Boer's family arrived in Australia from Netherlands 69 years ago from May seeking a new life away from post-WWII Europe.

Mr Boer's book details his life story, which includes growing up in the 1930s and 1940s in Sappemeer, a small town 30 kilometres away from Nazi Germany's border.

"I started by looking at the history of the town where I lived called Sappemeer, which

translates to swamp lake," he said.

"My very early personal recollections are from the world wide depression and the second world war, which made a very big impact on me ... I had very little schooling as a result."

Mr Boer said that his family witnessed the realities and horrors of the bloodiest war in the history of mankind.

His school sat alongside a railway line that was used to transport thousands of Jews to concentration camps.

Despite Netherlands being liberated in 1945, the country faced difficulties rebuilding, while the potential threat of a Soviet invasion

was enough for the Boer family to travel by boat to Australia.

Mr Boer landed in Fremantle five weeks later, where he found work in a bakery just one day after landing in the new country.

His family eventually settled in Wandin where he met his wife Gwen and went on to own Warburton's first takeaway food store, a fish and chip shop called Boer Bros Food Wholesalers.

Mr Boer welcomes those interested to come along to his book launch in Millgrove, which he said will feature many elements of Dutch culture.

He hopes that readers can walk away with a strong sense of family values.

Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child will be in attendance to launch the book and pastor Andy Bennet from Mill Valley Church will be the MC for the day.

His autobiography features over 600 historical photographs which will be available on a DVD included with each purchase of the book.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

More light on lights The Yarra Valley has some dangerous intersections for drivers and pedestrians.

There are no cameras to record incidents with cars or pedestrians, only a camera for red light offences and fines.

Why does this do-nothing government and invisible premier consider fines more important than people?

Both Yarra Junction and Woori Yallock have T-section crossings, which at Yarra Junction means the cars are coming from two different

directions at pedestrians and you don't know if these morons will stop or not.

A camera would record any offence regarding pedestrians for possible court action.

I've had cars driven at me, been abused because I'm not an Olympic sprinter.

So could (Casey MP) Tony Smith or (Eildon MP) Cindy McLeish try to find some funds for the protection of pedestrians?

We hear too often about the death of pedestrians. I hope something can be done.

Women’s footy flashback The Upwey-Tecoma Football Netball Club shared a photo on its Facebook page from the 1940s showing a women’s football side well ahead of its time. One of the club’s life members, whose mother played in the team, said the Tigers fielded a ladies team circa 1947.

Today the club has two senior women’s teams and is a leader in female footy in the region.

Feline fables Reports have again emerged on Facebook of a large, leopard-sized black cat spotted in Olinda.

The ensuing conversation involved many others sharing their big cat sightings from across the Dandenongs and surrounds.

There were also many theories shared from American soldiers abandoning a big cat mascot in the forest during World War II, to “it’s a wallaby” and “it’s a feral cat”.

We’re not sure the mystery will ever be solved, but we do enjoy the debate.

A 21st with a twist Darcy Myring wanted to do a community service to celebrate his 21st birthday.

Yarra Ranges Council had a section along the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail in Mount Evelyn where it had recently removed woody weeds, ready for some new native trees.

So on Saturday 1 June, Darcy and a group of family and friends - including his grandmother - planted more than 250 natives, supported by the council’s bushland team.

The council gave thanks to Darcy and co on Facebook on World Environment Day.

Tromp mystery

Somebody loves winter! Tracy Dasler shared this snap she took at Mount Donna Buang. Follow @MailCommunity on Instagram for more local photos and tag us in your snaps from across the Yarra Ranges for a chance to see them in print.

The Mail team spotted an article on social media this week about a podcast episode on the Tromp family.

We immediately dived in for a refresh on the August 2016 mystery that started in Silvan.

Mark and Jacoba “Coby” Tromp and their

kids Riana, then 29, Mitchell, 25 and Ella, 22 left their home in a hurry and headed north by road.

The reason why is still unclear. The family slowly separated, with the kids heading back towards home and reporting their parents missing.

The PEDESTRIAN.TV team chats about the bizarre ordeal in season one, episode 11 of unsolved mysteries podcast All Aussie Mystery Hour.

Much of the discussion is around rare shared psychotic disorder folie àdeux.

We can’t help but wonder how the family is doing these days - it would be a hard road to recovery.

Bob Hawke slept here The State Memorial Service for former Prime Minister Bob Hawke on Friday 14 June reminded the Mail of the mark he made on Mountain Views Mail founding editor and part owner Mardie Lambert back in 1980.

An old edition of the Mountain Views Mail recalled Mr Hawke attending a dinner at local Ray Donkin’s home before a public meeting at Lilydale High School.

Mr Hawke was tired and suffering flu symptoms, the report said, so decided to take a half-hour’s rest before the meeting, where he’d speak on behalf of endorsed ALP Casey candidate Peter Watson.

Mardie had been promised a post-dinner interview and her heart sank when he headed for a bedroom to lie down.

But, the report said, he then popped his head out the door and told her “If you want to shoot a few questions at me you’ll have to do it in here!”

So Mardie sat on the edge of the bed and questioned the man who’d just retired as Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) president to campaign for the Wills electorate.

IN BRIEF

Another car crash

By Jed Lanyon A woman in her sixties was transported to Maroondah Hospital with minor upper body and ankle injuries following a car collision on the Warburton Highway in Seville East.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol said an SUV collided with another vehicle at 9am Wednesday 12 June, sending it across the other side of the highway, off the road and into a tree.

They believe the incident occured while a truck was trying to turn into a roadside property, causing traffic behind it to bank up.

Highway Patrol said it was fortunate that the truck had been turning and had prevented the flow of oncoming traffic from colliding with the car that had been pushed across the lane.

The Seville East Traffic Safety Group is made up of concerned community members who live near the stretch of road along the Warburton Highway in Seville East that has seen a number of car collisions recently.

Members of the group are advocating for the highway to be upgraded to have designated turning lanes at Douthie, Sunnyside and Stuart roads, as well as an island-protected turning lane at Peters Road.

A 54-year-old Woori Yallock man lost his life in a three car collision on 4 April, and then on 15 April a man fled the scene of a two-car collision at the same area.

A 31-year-old woman was flown to The Alfred hospital after a two-car collision on 10 June at Powelltown.

Warburton police told the Mail that about noon, a white people mover van travelling east along Yarra Junction-Noojee Road collided with a four-wheel drive travelling in the opposite direction.

The accident occurred about 5 kilometres east of Powelltown on a tight bend and police are still investigating the cause.

Both vehicles had four people in them at the time and emergency services had to extricate a 31-year-old woman from the van.

The woman suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries and was airlifted to hospital shortly after.

The other occupants were checked by paramedics and required no further treatment.

CFA, SES and ambulance crews attended the incident and the road was closed for an hour as crews worked to release the woman from the vehicle and clean up an oil spill.

Warburton Police are investigating the collision's cause and anyone who witnessed the incident should call the station on 5966 2006.

Fishtailing fail

The car was pushed off the highway in an accident.

One member of the group and Seville East resident Joel Supple said there had been well over 20 reported incidents between Woori Yal-

lock and Douthie Road since 2014.

Five of those incidents have occurred since January this year.

School’s harvest café a hit with the kids

By Jed Lanyon Warburton Primary School is dedicated to sustainable gardening practices, where students grow fruits, vegetables and herbs used to cook meals in their harvest cafe.

Kelly Frost is responsible for the school's sustainable garden program and said the harvest cafe operates under the motto 'sow, grow, eat, repeat'.

The school grounds feature a large veggie patch, herb gardens, composting and worm farms, and several trees that grow apples, oranges, lemons and mandarins and stone fruits.

School captain, Tom said he enjoys being able to cook and eat the things that he sees growing in the gardens.

"We made some gnocchi last week which was nice. We've had apple and rhubarb crumble at some stage too."

On Tuesday 11 June the students were cooking up damper with bush tomato and lemon myrtle dukkah with apple and pear chutney.

Other students were making apple and blueberry jam to be used for the school's breakfast club, while snacking on slices of dried apple made from a previous class.

In the class next door, students were busy painting signage to help highlight what is growing in each area of the school.

Outside, other students are working hard to shovel mulch into wheelbarrows to transport around the school, raking leaves and main-

Powelltown crash

A 20-year-old man will be without his vehicle for a month and will need to explain his actions to a Magistrate after Lilydale Police allegedly observed him fishtailing out of Industrial Park Drive onto Beresford Road, Lilydale, at 4.20pm on 11 June.

Police impounded his vehicle was impounded at a cost of $1017 and he will be summonsed to appear at the Ringwood Magistrates' Court on a date to be fixed.

D'oh! Seville arrest A 24-year-old Launching Place man was remanded in custody after allegedly doing doughnuts in a Hyundai Excel in the Seville Football Club precinct.

Police said the vehicle was displaying stolen number plates and they arrested the man on Thursday 13 June with support from the Air Wing and a number of ground units.

They also charged the man in relation to a series of criminal damage to vehicles in the Launching Place area on 22 May.

Community input needed for bushfire museum

Kelly Frost and Warburton Primary School students in the harvest café. taining the gardens.

But it's not just cooking and gardening for students as they are currently learning about the Irish Potato Famine and the historical aspects of foods.

"We try to connect it to our curriculum, so history is our focus right now so we're looking at how food has changed over time and the impact that food has had on the world," Ms Frost said.

The school is about to celebrate the upcoming citrus fruit season, and Ms Frost said the students were quick to learn the ways in which

Picture: JED LANYON

lemons can be added to a recipe.

"Initially they said 'we don't like lemons' and only knew it as the little piece of fruit you get on the side of your fish and chips," she said.

"They've soon worked out that lemons are pretty amazing and are underrated.

"If we don't grow it, then generally we don't use it. So we just look at what is growing well in our garden and then look at ways that we can use it.

"At the moment apples are pretty prolific and they are at their best, so we have a lot of apple recipes happening," Ms Frost said.

Victorians are invited to have their say on a new bushfire museum and education centre to raise awareness of the history, stories and lessons of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires, as well as other significant fires.

The state government is calling for input from bushfire-affected communities, as well as those involved in bushfire recovery and emergency management and First Peoples community members.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services Lisa Neville said, "This museum will help bring together the experiences, knowledge and stories of how fire has shaped our state and how it will continue to impact us for generations to come."

"We want to hear from all Victorians to help shape a new bushfire museum and education centre, because we want this to be a centre for everyone," she said.

The Victorian Bushfire Centre public consultation is open until 15 August, visit https:// engage.vic.gov.au/.

Grants for good ideas Every year, we at the council have the pleasure of being able to support community groups and artists across the Yarra Ranges to deliver projects, events and festivals through our Grants for Community program.

The Yarra Ranges is known for its vibrant community and culture, thanks to community-led events and festivals - those that are emerging as well as those well-established, such as the Warburton Film Festival, Belgrave Lantern Parade, and Celebrate Mooroolbark.

Community members involved in these events and festivals know that one of the hardest parts of getting a project off the ground is securing funding, getting certainty that it can all go ahead.

That's where the council's grants program comes in.

Community groups and creative individu-

als can apply for up to $10,000 to deliver projects across community development, festivals and events or arts and heritage, throughout the 2020 calendar year.

This is a platform for local groups, not-forprofit organisations and individuals to lead projects that identify and respond to the aspirations of the community.

We get a fantastic variety of applications each year for festivals, events and communitybased programs, and I'm proud that we were able to support many of these with $425,000 in funding this year.

It's always an extremely competitive program - sadly, we can't fund every one of the

great projects that our selection panel considers - but if you've got an idea for making your community a better place, the council wants to hear about it and help make it a reality.

Our Grants for Community Program is open for applications now and closes on 15 July.

We also have our Small Grants Program, which provides up to $1000 in funding or inkind support for activities that help bring about social inclusion, wellbeing and participation, or that foster community leadership and capacity-building.

Farming for future

By Jed Lanyon Farmers, landowners and community members heard about how climate change could impact them and the challenges ahead at the Farming Solutions for a Changing Climate event on 29 May. Soil scientist Dr Cassandra Schefe, local farming consultant Corey Watts, Gippsland sheep and cattle farmer Jenny O'Sullivan and permaculture co-originator David Holmgren spoke to around 250 people at The Memo in Healesville.

Mr Watts spoke about the ongoing risks of climate change and said the risks went beyond global temperature increase, which has risen roughly one degree and would continue in the future.

He said one of these risks was a downward trend in rainfall and greater volatility in extreme weather which included extreme rainfall events and heatwaves.

Dr Schefe spoke about the benefits of soil carbon and how carbon levels can be increased and maintained on farms.

Gippsland sheep and cattle farmer Ms O'Sullivan, spoke about personal experiences in improving both farm productivity and environmental values, and ways to improve onfarm income.

Permaculture co-originator Mr Holmgren spoke how his own property in Hepburn was designed to catch urban stormwater to create a highly productive property.

He also spoke about the increased bushfire risk in a changing climate and how whole farm planning can be used to help reduce climate risk and provide environmental benefits.

"Agriculture in the Yarra Ranges is already being affected by climate change. It's important we all explore ways to adapt and mitigate the risks of a changing climate," Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said.

"Unfortunately, as the climate warms and

dries and as extreme weather events become more common, our agricultural production will be at increasing risk."

Mysterious foam spotted in Yarra River

By Jed Lanyon If you have travelled through Warburton recently, you may have spotted a white foamy substance blanketing the Yarra River and gathering in corners along the river bank.

Some residents have their concerns about the bubble bath-like foam, believing it may be harmful to the river or those who come in contact with it.

The mystery foam had been spotted by nearby residents on several occasions over the last year, sometimes lasting for days at a time before being whisked down the river.

Melbourne Water's Team Leader Regional Services Steve Hosking has provided some clarification on the foam sightings.

"Occasionally there are outbreaks of foam on the Yarra River at Warburton and these can happen naturally depending on conditions at certain times," he said.

Mr Hosking said that acids can release from organic materials creating a substance on the water that when mixed with air creates foam.

"Alternately foam can be caused by man-

Residents are concerned the foam could be harmful to the river.

made pollutants getting into the waterway such as detergents."

"Generally the water quality in the Yarra River at Warburton is considered good and is monitored regularly against a range of parameters including nutrients, E. coli and metals," Mr Hosking said.

"Melbourne Water encourages industry and households to ensure that they are dis-

posing of any chemicals and waste products responsibly and not into the local drains and waterways.

"Any instances of pollution being discharged to the river should be reported to the Environmental Protection Agency."

Melbourne Water crews have been spotted at the site of the river a couple times over the past few weeks.

Yarra Ranges Councillors have agreed to reissue a timber harvesting permit for two private residences in Three Bridges.

Yarra Ranges Councillors moved the motion on Tuesday, 11 March for the permit to be renewed and brought up-to-date.

A representative speaking on behalf of the owners said that both the Mannagum and Blacksands properties in Three Bridges had been in ownership since they were sold by the crown and that both properties have been subject to timber production on more than one occasion over that time.

Originally the Mannagum property obtained a planning permit in 1986 to conduct logging and the Blacksands property obtained a permit in 1977.

Recently an application was made to confirm the existing use rights for timber harvesting.

A representative speaking on behalf of the owners at the council meeting said the timber produced would go to local timber mills while some would be exported.

The motion was supported by all Yarra Ranges Councillors except Tim Heenan.

The Martyrs bus strike that was planned for Thursday 13 June did not go ahead after 'positive discussions' held between the Transport Workers Union (TWU) members and Martyrs bus service.

Martyrs bus driver and TWU delegate Ray Corless told the Mail that the bus drivers have resolved to not proceed with the action planned for Thursday.

Martyrs bus drivers from the TWU had planned to walk out from the job for a second time in two weeks after unsuccessfully negotiating for a pay increase with Martyrs and Public Transport Victoria (PTV).

20 Martyrs bus drivers went on strike in Warburton on Tuesday 4 June causing disruptions to school buses and the 683 public bus service from Warburton to Chirnside Park.

A previous statement from the TWU said its Martyrs members voted to take protected industrial action following months of negotiations and 'after receiving the operator's latest sub-standard and insulting wage offer'.

The statement said members across the state were fighting for the surety of the Bus Industry Agreement claim of a 4 per cent wage and 1 per cent superannuation increase per year for the life of the three year agreement.

Martyrs are not the only Victorian bus operator to be negotiating wages this year as the TWU had already successfully secured the 2018 Bus Industry Agreement for over 3000 drivers for operators including CDC, Transdev, Dysons, McHarry's and Ventura, according to the TWU statement.

Work at Warburton

By Derek Schlennstedt Construction is set to begin on the Warburton Community Recreation Precinct after Yarra Ranges Councillors awarded the building contract to Warrandale Industries at the Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 11 June.

The aim of the project is to construct the Warburton Community Recreation Precinct to provide the public with a new recreational area complete with a water-play playground, footpaths and a gym.

The development of the Warburton Community Recreation Precinct has been years in the making and will provide the public with a new recreational area at 20 Woods Point Road, Warburton, adjacent to the Warburton Caravan Park.

Councillor Jim Child said he looked forward to seeing the transformation of the pool into a Water Play Park.

"Mr Mayor I'm going to look forward to walking down the main street of Warburton tomorrow," Councillor Child said.

"This is a project that's been in planning since the closing of Warburton pool in 2008 so you can see what a considerable journey we've been on.

"We've gone through an Extensive consultation process, we've sold a caravan park, we've had a project working group, a project reference group and we get to the stage now, after all that planning, that now we are here to approve the contract to actually build the Warburton Community Recreation Precinct.

"It's the water play facility, the playground, the open space, all those great things that are going to benefit the upper Yarra Community."

Wine vine survey There are 2533 hectares of vineyards in the Yarra Valley, a new survey has revealed.

The first National Vineyard Scan, funded by Wine Australia, found 146,128 hectares under vine across the country.

Consilium Technology used artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to provide vineyard data on five million hectares - replacing the old Australian Bureau of Statistics paperbased sector survey, last published in 2015.

There are 463,718 kilometres of vine rows - enough to wrap around the Earth 11 times including 9201 in the Yarra Valley.

"This scan provides the sector with a very good baseline for follow-up surveys that will be carried out over the next two years," Wine Australia CEO Andreas Clark said.

The vineyard locations have been mapped, providing information that could be used for emergency biosecurity responses.

Consilium Technology used Geospatial Artificial Intelligence for Agriculture (GAIA) to scan high-resolution satellite images of Australia's wine regions to identify exactly where and how many vine rows were planted.

GAIA will evolve over time and could ultimately be able to distinguish varieties in future.

In the short term, an interactive GAIA app will be launched at the Australia Wine Industry Technical Conference at the end of July to allow grape growers and winemakers to identify and annotate their own blocks.

Yarra Ranges Council has awarded a contract for the construction of the Warburton Recreation Precinct. WAL president and Steering Committee member, Jeff Gill, and Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child, at the site of the pool which will be demolished to make way for a waterplay area. 166834

Women are wanted

By Casey Neill Funding for mentoring is one measure being used to encourage more women into local government.

Local Government Minister Adem Somyurek announced $17,000 for the Australian Local Government Women's Association's (ALGWA) Mentoring Program at the recent Ministerial Women's Roundtable.

"Supporting more women into local government leadership positions is essential to ensure councils reflect the communities they serve," he said.

"Women only make up around 37 per cent of councillors and around 21 per cent of all CEOs in the local government sector - we need to do better and that's what this funding is all about."

The mentoring program will support 40 new local government women councillors throughout their first term on council by pairing them with skilled and experienced councillors and ex-councillors.

"A mentor system like this one will support the achievement of our targets for increased

female representation across local government and sets a positive example for all levels of government and the community," Minister for Women Gabrielle Williams said.

This investment followed a $50,000 commitment to the Victorian Local Governance Association's (VLGA) Local Women Leading Change initiative, which will support potential female candidates in the lead up to the 2020 local government elections.

VLGA CEO 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," she said.

"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."

In the Yarra Ranges, VLGA is working with

advocacy group Voices of Women (VoW), Cire Services Incorporated and the council to present The Journey Begins workshops.

Fiona McAllister is the only female representative in the nine-ward Yarra Ranges.

VoW president and small business owner Sue West said the group was delighted to be running the project for a second year, after attracting about 50 participants last year.

"We are really looking forward to meeting the women who are interested in becoming a candidate or supporting candidates," she said.

Ms West said the sessions would feature guest speakers who would insight into how local government worked, the role of a councillor and how to develop key skills needed to perform the role, as well as planning a campaign.

There are sessions coming up at Belgrave Community Hub on Thursday 20 June, Healesville Hospital on Thursday 18 July, Japara Living and Learning Centre in Kilsyth on Thursday 15 August.

Warm a heart this winter - donate now

By Jed Lanyon The ‘Warm a Heart this Winter’ appeal is back as Le Pine Funerals team up with Anglicare Victoria and ask locals to donate clothing and canned food to those who are sleeping rough this Winter.

Le Pine Funerals Administrative Arranger Jenny Smith welcomes people to donate items that can help others keep warm, such as clean blankets, beanies, scarfs, socks, gloves, jackets and sleeping bags.

Canned food items with at least six months to expiry date may also be donated.

“Last year our donations box was filled three times and delivered to Anglicare,” Ms Smith said.

“We’re really proud to associate ourselves with this cause.”

Le Pine Funerals offices across Victoria are drop-off points for the goods, which will then be passed on to Anglicare for distribution to those in need.

In the Yarra Valley, Le Pine Funerals has offices at Healesville, Lilydale and Croydon where goods can be donated in the boxes supplied.

Le Pine Funerals Healesville is at 102 Maroondah Highway Donations to the Warm a Heart this Winter appeal will be accepted throughout June.

Future waste plan ideas

By Casey Neill Yarra Ranges Council will look into alternatives for the shire's waste, with the landfill it uses close to capacity.

The Metropolitan Waste Resource Recovery Group (MWRRG) is working with more than 15 metropolitan councils to look at processing solutions for kerbside waste that is going to landfill.

At their Tuesday 28 May meeting, Yarra Ranges Councillors agreed to join the group's search for solutions for the future.

A plant to convert waste to energy is one possible solution.

"Where we take our rubbish has a lifespan of less than 10 years," Cr Jim Child said.

"Every piece of waste, landfill waste, leaves our municipality, and we have to pay for that.

"When this Hallam site ceases to function we're going to have a very serious problem.

"We will have to take our waste further, which will cost residents more."

"We have to start on this journey because we have to do something with our waste.

"A message that we have to put out to all our residents is that recycling at your home is the biggest thing that you can be doing now."

Cr Mike Clarke said this was a hallmark decision.

"We're moving away from landfill," he said.

"We just can't carry on like this.

"Landfills have been the cheap way to do it.

We've run out of spaces. There's no other option.

"This is going to be a new industrial processing opportunity."

He said a waste to energy plant would sort through recyclables then incinerate the others to make energy.

"It's the latest technology, I believe," he said.

"It's most appropriate that we line up straight away with other councils to start the evolution of this new direction."

Yarra Ranges Council collects and disposes of about 30,000 tonnes of household waste from landfill bins within the municipality annually through a regional landfill disposal contract with the MWRRG. This material is sent to the Suez Landfill in Hallam, which is projected to reach capacity in less than 10 years on current trends, at which time it would need to close.

Hallam is the last landfill in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Relishing the very best 'Compliments to the chef' is a phrase heard often inside Red Relish Cafe. The staff at Red Relish have a real passion for food, using only the freshest ingredients to achieve the best results.

"It's not enough to just get people through our door," Red Relish Cafe owner Sue Cordina said.

"We need to make sure our food is consistently great and provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere too - this is how our new customers become repeat customers.

"Our staff are committed to making sure our customers have a great dining experience every time they visit. What we are finding is that customers who visit on weekends as tourists are coming back as regulars - even if they have a two-hour drive to get here!"

Sue said that Red Relish is now also gaining a solid reputation for its catering.

"We are catering to several different functions weekly now," she said.

"Some functions may just be a cake or dessert; others want gourmet sandwich platters or hot food, sweets platters, sushi and fruit platters. All the feedback we are receiving is fantastic. Word of mouth is promoting our business for us."

Red Relish recently catered for a large photography project in the Redwood Forest for a leading Australian retail brand.

"This was a challenge, with many different dietary requirements for breakfast and lunch over three days," Sue said.

"Having a chef on board certainly makes a difference. Adam is fully qualified and his experience shines through in his food."

Red Relish can cater for lunches or office meetings, informal gatherings, baby showers, corporate functions and more.

Red Relish Cafe is open seven days a week.

"I hope that they will see their landscape differently and more creatively," she said.

"I hope it's reframed for them as not just a familiar river but something that is precious and important."

Ms Rogis said the Boronia dance school focuses on project based events.

"We look at dance as an art form or form of self-expression and ways to connect with community and place."

Dance ARC aims to develop strong, joyful, resilient dancers by providing high quality dance experiences in a disciplined and caring environment.

Their youth performance ensemble focuses on dance as an art form through which young people can express ideas and have a creative voice in the community.

By Jed Lanyon Dance ARC's youth performance ensemble took part in the Global Water Dances at Coronation Park, Healesville on Saturday 15 June.

The Global Water Dances are performed in 170 locations across the world and aims to inspire action and international collaboration for water issues through the universal language of dance.

Dance ARC artistic director Viv Rogis said, "The theme is dancing for safe and clean water everywhere. It's a very broad theme and they ask you to localise it.

"We chose to look at a local issue of our river ways, particularly because they are important to the helmeted honeyeaters."

WHYLD are looking forward to the Winter Warming after inclement weather forced last year's event to be cancelled.

Event coordinator Meryl Knoll said, "The forecast is indicating that the weather will be kinder to us this year.

"Our inaugural event was held in 2015 and since then the event has evolved slowly, but our core focus remains the same. It's all about bringing the community together."

One of the key features of the event is the fire show performance by local volunteers together with The Dreaming Space and Fireworks Dance Company.

Fire and warmth are the central themes for this community gathering around a bonfire with free activities for all ages including a magic show, circus play, badge making, performing stage and face painting WHYLD community group enlists the support of Hillcrest CFA to manage the parking and bonfire, Upper Yarra SES to provide shelter and light and Hoddles Creek Red Cross to provide hot food and drinks and a range of winter woollies for purchase.

The event will celebrate the shortest weekend of the year with a moving feast of entreesized meals, the perfect way to meander around the Yarra Valley's boutique wineries and savour great food, wine and music, without the hustle and bustle.

To take part in this progressive dining experience, diners pay at the first winery they visit, where they will receive a souvenir tasting glass.

This glass allows them to taste and enjoy the wines at all the participating wineries that they visit over the two days.

Diners can plan their weekend by following the menu options available at each of the wineries from appetisers through to dessert.

Guests can make a weekend of it by staying overnight and exploring more of the Yarra Valley, but will need to book ahead.

The net proceeds of the Shortest Lunch entry fee will go to a local community group.

Since 2009 the Shortest Lunch has raised more than $75,000 for local CFA brigades and SES. For more information email info@yarravalleysmallerwineries.com.au.

MIB facing internal strife

Movies at Healesville and Warburton

Thu

Shortest Lunch is set

MIB International excels in the chemistry of its actors and has some engaging narrative buildup, but it's lazy in other aspects.

Recruited into the alien regulatory agency Men In Black, plucky Molly (Tessa Thompson) is dispatched to resolve a new cosmic threat in London.

Thompson is a captivating lead, conveying quick wit and relaxed authority, and it's gratifying to watch Molly use her cleverness and persistence to solve her case and advance through the MIB organisation.

Thompson and Chris Hemsworth, as affable but washed-up Agent H, bounce off each other in fun ways, as their characters gradually bond and come to rely upon each other's strengths.

The narrative has effective foreshadowing involving a chance alien encounter from Molly's past, and manages some well-executed red herrings about certain apparent villains, both outside and within MIB. Unfortunately, the villains themselves are bland, the editing is choppy, jumping abruptly between scenes, and the action is static and uninspired.

The main conflicts are very detached, which stifles the suspense: Molly and H's struggle to protect a devastating weapon feels redundant when you consider that the main villain could have completed their plan at any time.

As with Dark Phoenix from last week, Men In Black: International is driven by strong performances and character writing, but the plot is flimsy and unfulfilling.

All of this is only an hour and a bit out from Melbourne, making it the perfect base to explore all that this area has to offer, including nearby snow attractions at Mount Donna Buang, the Warburton Rail Trail, plenty of local cafes and specialty shops and the Yarra River.

Cosy up close to home

Yarra Ranges help to save their sight

By Jed Lanyon The Fred Hollows Foundation has thanked the people of the Shire of Yarra Ranges, whose generosity helped deliver 929,106 eye operations and treatments in 2018.

The Yarra Ranges community donated over $554,000 throughout the 2018 financial year which helped The Fred Hollows Foundation train 59,207 eye surgeons, nurses, community health workers and teachers to continue Fred's legacy of restoring sight for the world's poorest people.

One of the patients who were helped as a result of the contributions was eight-year-old Samuel from rural Kenya, who had relied on his twin brother John his entire life.

A statement from the Fred Hollows Foundation said Samuel was one of more than 8000 children in Kenya who are needlessly blind and was among those who received sight-saving surgery thanks to the foundation.

Samuel and his twin brother John have been inseparable since birth. But there is one thing that always separated them in that Samuel couldn't see.

John always took care of Samuel. He led Samuel hand-in-hand as they walked to school each day and sat next to him in class to write notes so his brother wouldn't fall behind.

John would always pick Samuel up when he fell, pull him away from the fire when he got too close and helped him at school when he couldn't see the blackboard.

Gabi Hollows, founding director of The Fred Hollows Foundation, thanked the community for its support and encouraged people to give whatever they can to help keep

John carrying Samuel.

Fred's vision alive.

"I would like to thank each and every person who has helped us change the lives of many millions of the world's poorest people who are living with avoidable blindness," Ms Hollows said.

"There are still 36 million people in the world who are blind and four out of five of them don't need to be. Their blindness is preventable or treatable.

"Fred once said, 'The alternative is to do nothing and that's not an alternative'. So I hope people will help us continue Fred's inspiring work."

CEO of The Fred Hollows Foundation Ian

Wishart said the organisation's results demonstrate its commitment to creating long-term and sustainable solutions for those trapped in poverty by avoidable blindness.

"The number of people who are blind is set to triple over the next 30 years, so it is crucial we continue our sight-saving work," Mr Wishart said.

"One of the most effective ways to do this is by training local doctors, nurses, community workers and teachers in eye health, in the places where they are most needed, just as Fred did."

The State Government's tourism campaign Your Happy Space is urging Melburnians to cosy up to winter in regional Victoria - including the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley.

The push is to support tourism businesses and boosting regional jobs.

Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Martin Pakula on 12 June launched the winter campaign, which showcases the drama of winter landscapes, warming food and wine, scenic drives and cosy accommodation, all within easy reach for a short break.

"Forty per cent of our tourism workforce is outside Melbourne," Mr Pakula said.

"We're proud to be encouraging Victorians to get out and explore the state."

The Visit Victoria-led winter campaign was developed with input from industry and market research and will feature on television, radio, social media, digital platforms and outdoor advertising.

Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes said many regional communities relied on the money and time tourists spent in their communities. Visit Victoria chief executive Peter Bingeman said the state was the perfect winter playground.

"We have stunning natural landscapes, topquality wineries, exquisite regional dining and unique cosy accommodation right in our back yard - this campaign will remind Victorians of the happy space awaiting them in regional Victoria," he said.

The campaign is part of Visit Victoria's work to grow visitor spending to $36.5 billion by 2025 to create thousands of local jobs.

Since 2014-'15, Victoria's visitor economy has generated 22,400 jobs, with total visitor expenditure growing from $20.4 billion in 2014 to $28.7 billion last year.

Visit yourhappyspace.com.au for more information about the campaign.

Bloods turn the corner

By Nick Creely They're the kinds of wins that can set up a season.

Olinda Ferny Creek - who have had its fair share of struggles so far in 2019 - injected life into its season with a brave win against southeast rival Cranbourne at home on Saturday, 12.10 (82) to 10.6 (66).

And with a string of winnable games to come in AFL Outer East Premier - including Wandin, Upwey Tecoma and Healesville to come over the next month, have every opportunity to turn its now 2-5 record around.

The Bloods picked up its first real scalp against the Eagles on Saturday, in a see-sawing battle that saw the home side pull away with a terrific final term.

It was evenly fought first quarter, with the Eagles holding a slender four point lead - courtesy of its accuracy in front of goal - but the home side had an extra scoring shot and looked up for the challenge from the get go.

Finding more flair in its play across the second and third quarters, the Bloods managed to hold the visitors at bay - who were always going to keep challenging - to hold on to a precious lead heading into the final term.

With free disposals hard to win and a thirst for the contest from both sides desperate to clinch the points, it took a mighty effort late from the Bloods to kick away, in a win that keeps them in touch of a push towards the topfive in the back-end of the season.

All the more impressive were the fact that the Bloods did it without its biggest star - midfielder Marcus Hottes.

But in the champ's absence, others stood tall, with Callum Beattie continuing his fine form with a starring display, while the likes of Peter Gough and Kelsey Currie had an impact.

Still working his way into top form, James Charge played a fine game in just his third match of the season.

In a tough loss for the Eagles, Shaun Marusic was able to snag two majors to be a presence, while defenders Dillan Bass and Stuart

Morrish were important throughout the afternoon.

Daniel Gorringe, meanwhile, played a starring role for Wandin in another high-scoring affair at the Kennel, this time against Healesville, 25.12 (162) to 18.20 (128).

Incredibly, the winless Bloods had more scoring shots, but it was the ability for the Dogs to convert its chances that saw them walk away with the points.

Snaring nine goals in a best afield display, Gorringe - the former AFL ruckman - was in vintage touch, to take his tally to 22 for the season, and got valuable support from Justin Van Unen and Clinton Johnston, who each kicked five goals in a dynamic forward line masterclass.

But the visitors can hold their head high despite conceding 25 goals, enjoying more freedom and making the most of it, with Rodney Woodford and Max Donegan each filling their boots with four.

In the remaining matches across the round, Berwick did what was expected on the road against Upwey Tecoma, 25.13 (163) to 8.5 (53), while Narre Warren shook off a brave Woori Yallock, 19.12 (126) to 8.12 (60).

In Division 1 on Saturday, in what was the final weekend of the split round, Officer flexed its muscles in an impressive display against Emerald on the road, 22.15 (147) to 10.5 (65).

The Kangaroos dominated from the outset, kicking 18 goals to eight after quarter time to bank some percentage and put pressure on the top three.

Skipper Matthew Clarke - in the midst of a brilliant season - was in terrific touch with six goals, while emerging star Tyler Clark was once again best afield and 100 gamer James Waldon was once again excellent.

Pakenham, meanwhile, were a class above Warburton Millgrovr at home, 18.19 (127) to 6.8 (44).

In Division 2, Thornton Eildon stole a famous win against Yea, with a Shane Barrand

Emerald's Ethan Ford looks to get the ball moving forward. 194486 goal after the siren giving them a long awaited victory, 9.12 (66) to 9.9 (63).

In the remaining matches, Gembrook Cockatoo was unable to reel in Yarra Glen in a hard

Second time lucky for Healesville Green The Healesville Green team has won its second grand final in a row.

It won the Ferntree Gully and District Ladies Thursday Section 3 Grand Final against Heatherdale on Thursday 13 June at Healesville's Queens Park complex.

It was a fantastic final, the result being three sets each with Healesville Green win-

ning by seven points.

The winning team was Heather McClements, Heather Higgs, Sarah Johns, captain Jenny Parker, Kris Wenhuda, Judy Lefers and Michela Scully.

This was the team's second grand final win in a row.

The ladies won Section 4 last season, again

against Heatherdale who were also promoted to Section 3.

The pressure's on now for the hat trick.

Rained out

Yarra Ranges step out at Bundoora

By Casey Neill More than 3000 athletes from around Victoria converged on Bundoora Park, Bundoora, on Saturday 15 June for the Victorian All schools Cross Country Championshipa and Victorian Open Cross Country Championships.

Bundoora Park was in very good condition considering heavy rain in previous days, providing for a tough but competitive course.

Yarra Ranges Athletics had a number of outstanding results from the day, with the standouts being silver medals to Maddie Laven (under-15 girls) and Harry Norman (under-20 men).

Other top 10 finishes came from Kiara Flavel, Mia Strudley, Grace Muller and James Laven.

Kellie Emerson was the standout performer in the open women's 10 kilometre cross country with a sensational 30th place.

Yarra Ranges Athletics club results are: Under-14 girls 3km: Ciara Willey 77th 13.16 Under-15 girls 4km: Maddie Laven 2nd 14.12, Kiara Flavel 4th 14.20 Under-16 girls 4km: Mia Strudley 6th 14.4, Jemima Wilson 22nd 16.39 Under-15 boys 4km: Thomas Dellow 22nd 14.26 Under-16 boys 4km: Noah Wright 19th 13.26, Angus Norman 23rd 13.32, Lachlan Nicholls 78th 16.24 Under-18 girls 4km: Georgia Laven 12th 15.12, Zoe Sibley 17th 15.31 Under-18 boys 6km: Harrison Van Duuren 29th 21.47, Camden Hewitson 75th 26.27

This week’s crossword proudly sponsored by

The Heritage Family

Although a handful of hardy souls (read stubborn golfers who are unable to take sage advice from all and sundry) played in the Wednesday 12 June Warburton Golf Club competition, they became soaked - like the course - when the expected rains arrived.

It was deemed a no-competition day so there are no results. On Saturday 15 June, the weather gods treated players far more kindly.

A very healthy field of 50-plus tackled the much-drier course in the PAR contest. And, because of those improved conditions, scores were pretty impressive.

John Hall proved that his onerous presidential duties have had no effect on his golf game.

A solid +4 was enough to win John the Agrade voucher. Roger Mataele proved something, too - your golf game can vary drastically from one day to the next.

A Friday match, which Roger lost with his partner, was quickly forgotten as he blazed around Warburton, also with a +4 to grab the B-grade prize.

Balls went down all the way to -2. Nearest the pins went to Andrew McMath on the third, Captain Cross on the fifth, David Murch on the ninth, Sam Dennis on the 12th and Junior Kay on the 15th.

Carroll again

By Karl Hradsky Tom Carroll is having a great season with the Healesville Social Golf Club (HSGC).

He notched up another win on the weekend, scoring 37 stableford points.

Tom Bergin (28), a new-comer to our group, was second with 36 points while Wayne Fenner (17) came in third with 34. Tom Carrol also won two of the nearest to pins, the other winners being Greg Urquhart and Laurie Tormey.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A What is something people don't know about you?

I once tamed a wild sabre-toothed tiger.

How did you get involved with caring for such unique animals?

With a background in palaeontology, I knew a thing or two about the care that these wonderful creatures would need.

But they have been teaching me so much more every day.

For example, I had no idea that a woolly rhino would be so cantankerous towards me, yet be a snuggle pot with our other keeping staff.

What would your last meal be?

The one that I choke on most likely ... but if I had to choose, it would be a MEGA salad with heaps of olives ... I REALLLY love olives.

What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness?

I would love to witness the release of critically endangered animals back into the wild in sustainable numbers ... it may be too late for the beautiful beasts I look after now, but maybe the not so MEGA beasts of today still have a chance.

How did you end up working at Healesville Sanctuary?

I was a palaeontologist working at a museum in Queensland and when I heard that Healesville had found some remaining beasts I got on a plane and knocked on their door incessantly until they gave me my dream job! Tenacity paid off!

What is your favourite television show?

Easy peasy - David Attenborough's Museum Alive!

What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?

Dr Mary Schweitzer (discovered t-rex blood cells), Sarah Werning (palaeontologist), Mary Anning (fossil hunter), David Attenborough, Dr Jane Goodall and ... David Bowie (just to shake it up a bit).

with Darren, Healesville Sanctuary MegaBeast keeper

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Admitting that I once ate 1 kilogram of olives in one sitting.

What's the most rewarding part of your job?

Seeing the faces of our visitors, young and old, as they see these wonderful beasts in all their glory.

What's the worst part of your job?

Let's just say that the mammoths eat a LOT of food every day and eventually that food comes out in vast quantities ... and the smell would outlast extinction!

What was the first or best concert you attended?

First concert: Dorothy the Dinosaur LIVE in Concert. Best concert: Dorothy the Dinosaur LIVE in Concert - I have no words to describe it!

THREE … tips for winter driving

1

VicRoads recommends drivers check their tyre pressure, lights, fog lights and battery are working before heading off on long winter drives, putting anti-freeze in their radiator and packing an ice scraper and sunglasses for snow glare.

2

To avoid getting into trouble on the mountain, drivers should always fill up their fuel tank prior to entering alpine regions.

3

Drivers should check for black ice warnings on the VicTraffic website or app before heading off. Black ice generally forms at night time, in the early mornings or on sections of the roads that haven't been exposed to sunlight.

VicRoads recommended drivers delay their trip to avoid icy conditions, or allowing plenty of time and taking it slowly if they must drive.

MOTORING

Driving home winter road safety for the slippery season Other tips include checking tyre pressure; checking lights/fog lights and battery are working; putting anti-freeze in the radiator; and packing an ice scraper and sunglasses for snow glare.

To avoid getting into trouble on the mountain, VicRoads said drivers should always fill up their fuel tank prior to entering alpine regions.

Diesel vehicles should fill up with alpine diesel mix, which is available at service stations in the alpine area.

Before they head off, drivers should check for black ice warnings on traffic.vicroads.vic. gov.au or download the VicTraffic app.

Black ice generally forms at night time, in the early mornings or on sections of the roads that haven't been exposed to sunlight, like un-

der tree cover.

VicRoads recommended delaying a trip to avoid icy conditions.

If drivers must be on the road during those key danger times, they should allow plenty of time, slow down, be patient and use a car equipped with electronic stability control (ESC) if possible.

VicRoads said driving in snowy conditions required a lot of concentration and patience.

Drivers should stay calm if stuck in a long queue and always follow road signs and directions given by alpine resort staff - they are there for driver safety.

VicRoads has tips to help drivers stay safe on the roads this winter.

Fewer daylight hours mean more hazardous driving conditions.

Drivers planning trips to the snow should plan ahead and consider what they might encounter on the roads.

It's advisable to drive more cautiously on all roads during winter, safely navigating Victoria's alpine regions can involve coping with more extreme weather such as blizzards, fog and black ice.

When visiting any alpine resorts, VicRoads said drivers were required to always carry snow chains and fit them if directed by authorities.
