Shift to hygiene

By Romy Stephens Local distilleries are keeping business going and the community hygienic by contributing to the production of hand sanitiser.

Amid the Covid-19 crisis, Healesville’s Four Pillars Gin and Seville’s Morgans Winery and Distillery have altered their focus by using additional spirits to produce sanitiser.

It comes as both have suffered from the impacts of Covid-19 and the country faces a shortage of hand sanitiser due to the virus.

Four Pillars has created two different hand sanitisers from the by-products of their gin distilling efforts - both in line with the World Health Organisation’s formula.

They initially created a sanitiser for healthcare workers, nurses and pharmacies before then creating a more aromatic product for household use.

Co-founder and distiller at Four Pillars Cameron MacKenzie said the idea has allowed them “to pivot the business” and keep staff in jobs.

“We’ve got about a three week backlog now of hand sanitiser to pack,” he said.

“We’ve got a bit of excess packaging that we’ve been able to repurpose.

“Also, all of our casual staff faced a bit of an unsure future. I would say we have about 4-5 weeks worth of work for them on full-time hours.

“At the moment there is a significant national shortage and I think we’re filling a tiny bit of that hole and at the same time keeping the lights on here.”

Morgans Winery and Distillery has also jumped on board the hand sanitiser production train after their local chemist approached them for help.

They initially sent additional alcohol to help with production, but are now making their own bottles.

“Our business had basically ground to a halt in terms of sales,” he said.

“It’s a good alternative and allows us to keep paying the bills... When one door closes another door opens.”

Mr Gunther added that with the winery also going through vintage, they have thought of another creative idea to keep business going.

“Rather than throwing out our grape pressings from our Rose making as compost, we are adding back water and fermenting them to create spirit, as sugar is getting harder to get,” Mr Gunther said.

Four Pillars’ Heads, Tails and Clean Hands is available from 1 April online and through the pop-up distillery shop in Healesville for $40 per litre. Individual purchases will be limited to five 1L bottles per order.

Morgans Winery and Distillery is selling 100ml spray bottles for $15 each with a limit of six per customer.

Larger quantities can be arranged for businesses or organisations.

Morgans Hand Sanitiser will be available at the cellar door from 11am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. It is expected to be made available for online purchase soon.

Hub of kindness

By Romy Stephens As stock-piling and stripped supermarket shelves continue amid the Covid-19 outbreak, a group of volunteers have come together to cook and deliver free meals for those in need across the Yarra Ranges.

The group has set up in the Chirnside Park Community Hub and since being established, have been inundated with support and donations from the community.

Cire Services’ Chrisi Reardon initiated the idea after seeing reports of people unable to get food and supplies due to panic buying.

She began batch cooking and posted on social media to connect with people in need.

“I was immediately overwhelmed by how many people needed help and also by how many people were so beautifully supportive,” she said.

“People were driving to the house just to pick up a bag and drive it from Kilsyth to Dandenong just because they wanted to make sure the food got to someone that needed it.”

But as the information about the initiative spread, the demand became too much for Ms Reardon to cater for on her own.

She sent an email to her manager at Cire Services and they organised for her to set up in the Chirnside Park Community Hub, which is run by Cire.

Since then, a group of community service students and other volunteers have also pitched in to help cook meals.

They have been cooking for people recovering from surgeries and sent straight into self-isolation, parents juggling hospital visits, the elderly, large families who are stretched too thin to stock-pile, those who are immunocomprimised, those who lack transport and

those with disability.

Community Hub manager Jenelle Strachan said the decision to open up their kitchen doors was a “no brainer.”

“It’s fantastic I mean we’re here to support the community and the fact that we can do something amazing and help people here is great,” she said.

Ms Reardon said she has been overwhelmed by the amount of community support since she first posted the idea online.

“We have a pensioner, 70 years old, disabled and desperately in need of some food but insisting on giving us some rice back in return that she has in her pantry because she wants to contribute in the way that she can,” she said.

“This was just me in my kitchen and it couldn’t have gone as far as it has if I didn’t have that support because I couldn’t have

done that by myself.

“I put this little post up and I’m still involved but I feel like the community has almost taken it over and made it theirs.

“People just want to be involved, they want to be part of it. From my experience people always want to help.”

Meanwhile Ms Strachan said the Community Hub will continue to support locals during the coronavirus crisis.

“Get involved, the community hubs will be open through this crisis until we’re told we have to close,” she said.

“We have a place for people to come so if they do want a little food hamper come in and see us.

“We have a computer so if they need to go online and can’t do that at libraries anymore they can do it here.”

Keeping cellar doors open

By Romy Stephens Yarra Valley wineries are thinking of different ways to provide the cellar door experience to locals amid the Covid-19 crisis.

Rochford Wines has completely transformed its cellar door and restaurant space into a boutique grocery store where customers can get all the necessities in a clean and respectful environment.

The Rochford Grocer opened on 25 March in a bid to not only service the community but also keep the business running.

Rochford Wines owner and CEO Helmut Konecsny said the main reason for the dramatic change was not for profit but rather “to keep people in jobs.”

“We have toilet paper, we have napkins, we have pretty much a little bit of everything,” he said.

“We have meat, we have, of course, wine and everything is for the people in the region.

“So please come and help us and we will help you.”

Rochford’s retail sales manager Sophia Demos said the business hoped to help the community in a time of great need.

“We felt we could be of service to the local community and also to our food suppliers who are not able to service restaurants anymore,” she said.

“So what we’ve done is we’ve extended an existing retail space and included grocery items, essential hygiene items, fruit and vegetables and pre-prepared meats from our kitchen.

“Consequently we’re a mini grocery store in the middle of the Yarra Valley.”

Meanwhile, Warrandyte’s Rob Dolan Wines is offering customers contactless wine pick up.

The winery’s Cellar Door to Car Boot initiative sees customers phone ahead, park at the cellar door, pop open their boot and wine will be hand delivered to their car.

Rochford Wines' Michael Matthews with items for sale. 207188 Rob Dolan said that despite it being a difficult time for the business, his team is staying positive and searching for new ways to keep cash flow ticking.

“You’ve got to lead from the front and try some original ideas,” he said.

“These initiatives that are coming through are fantastic.

“We want everybody to stay fit and healthy and well and use this time to do up the house,

do some painting and have a wine.”

Rochford’s grocery store is open daily 10am-8pm in the Rochford Cellar Door. The winery is also offering a takeaway and delivery menu.

For more information, visit www.rochfordwines.com.au.

In time of isolation they’re sharing the love for free

By Romy Stephens Olinda Tea House has donated hundreds of surgical face masks to essential services across the outer east, with numerous going to a local charity.

The restaurant donated 200 masks to The Philanthropic Collective after finding out the charity was in desperate need of them to add to its care boxes.

The Collective’s free care boxes are distributed to those in need across the Dandenong Ranges.

It is part of its Free Food Program which sees fresh food provided to school students, families and community members.

Over the past week, the program has seen 12 volunteers create 97 care boxes and conduct over 20 deliveries.

Olinda Tea House’s marketing and events

Olinda Tea House owner Tony Qian hands over face masks to Andrew Fillip-Gautier. manager Rosemary O’Reilly said the restaurant had an abundance of masks so it reached out to Casey MP Tony Smith in the hope to find

a local organisation in need.

She said Mr Smith then connected them with The Philanthropic Collective.

“It was great news to join the dots and meet an important need in the community,“ she said.

Founding member of The Philanthropic Collective Andrew Fillip-Gautier said the care boxes have supported about 428 people.

He said the 12 volunteers have been “moving vast quantities of produce at rapid turn arounds.”

“From families collecting food boxes from wheelbarrows in driveways, at front door steps to collection points at schools and home deliveries to seniors, the Collective are on the front foot,” he said.

Olinda Tea House also donated surgical face masks to an aged care facility in Kilsyth and to 50 individual families in need.

Chalk talk keeps the towns smiling

“We teach our children the importance of kindness and compassion so when we see our children enthusiastic and wanting to give back to the community, it makes us very proud parents,” Lisa said.

“The world is going through a dark time at the moment, and we thought we may be able to bring a little bit of lightness to someone’s day and smiles to people’s faces.”

The flowers were quickly snapped up by passerby’s and the act of kindness proved successful.

“We’ve had a constant stream of cars stopping, people walking by and collecting a bunch, and even neighbours taking flowers,” Lisa added.

“I also received a message from one of the mums from school with a photo of the flowers

Men’s sheds working together now online An online men’s shed has been launched to maintain social connection during a period where people are being encouraged to stay at home.

With Covid-19 forcing men’s sheds across the country to close, the Australian Men’s Sheds Association (AMSA) has launched the AMSA Shed Online.

AMSA executive officer David Helmers said the aim is to facilitate a space where people connect in the same way they do at the shed, over a cuppa and a laugh.

“Men’s sheds are an effective initiative because they connect people who would otherwise be socially isolated on a daily basis,” he said.

“Australians are becoming more and more physically isolated amidst the current coronavirus emergency. Right now we need to find ways to maintain our social connections,” he said.

According to AMSA, when it comes to older mailcommunity.com.au

Australians, the influence of social connectedness, or lack thereof, on mortality is comparable to well-known risk factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Governor-General David Hurley said “staying in touch and connected has never been more important.”

“The shed’s themselves may be temporarily closed as part of the response to Covid-19 but the mission of helping people stay connected does not change,” he said.

The original online shed platform The Shed Online was developed as a collaboration between AMSA and Beyond Blue in 2012. The platform attracted huge participation but was closed down due to lack of funding.

“We have used the original online shed platform as an inspiration to create a simple online space for Australian men to stay connected - as they would in a shed - at a time when community connection is increasingly difficult, but still vitally important to our health and wellbeing,” Mr Helmers said.

The program is being launched globally in partnership with the Irish Men’s Shed Association and the International Mens Shed Organisation.

This year’s Belgrave Lantern Parade will still go ahead, but has been reimagined due to Covid-19 restrictions.

In the past, the event has seen thousands of residents from the Dandenong Ranges and surrounds take to the streets of Belgrave to show off homemade lanterns and celebrate the winter solstice.

But with restrictions on public gatherings in force due to coronavirus, what was a parade will now be transformed into a large public art installation woven throughout the township.

Event coordinator Jeremy Angerson said the installation will be made possible through a collection of live streamed workshops facilitated by local artists.

“The commitment is to bring the glow of winter back to the community,” he said.

“What was a parade is now going to be transformed into a fairly large scale public art installation.

“A dedicated team of local artists will lead dozens of online lantern making workshops for the community, commencing in May.” These workshops will go for about 1-1.5 hours and run for just over a month.

They will be open for anyone to participate however lantern kits will be made available to the first 100 people that enrol.

The lantern installation will occur from 1419 June and then be switched on at 6pm 20 June to mark the Winter Solstice. The lanterns will then be left on for two weeks.

Mr Angerson said organisers have been working frantically to reinterpret and re-present the legacy of the Belgrave Lantern Parade, which has been running for about 15 years.

He said this year’s spectacle will take on a new, innovative, fresh and fit-for-purpose format. Families are encouraged to get involved in the lantern-making sessions, particularly while in isolation.

Information about the workshops and lantern kits will be provided though Yarra Ranges Council and Burrinja Cultural Centre over the coming weeks.

With many people stuck indoors and unable to socialise due to Covid-19, children across the eastern suburbs are working to keep spirits high.

Healesville’s Ruby, 10, has been leaving chalk messages and drawings on the footpath in her street to brighten the day of those who pass by.

Ruby’s mum, Jessica, said her daughter was inspired by the Rainbow Trail Australia movement where people spread messages of joy and hope through sticking rainbows in their windows.

Jessica said Ruby wanted to take it a step further by decorating the pavement.

“It started off as something to pass the time during isolation but after so many elderly shared how much it brightens their day to see them, she keeps replacing after the rain or when they have worn off,” she said.

“I think it’s a beautiful thing to do for the elderly in our community when there is currently so much sadness around the world.”

Ruby said she started drawing to make people feel happy and part of the community.

“I hope it makes them know that we are all in this together and they are not alone,” she said.

“The elderly in my street may not have families to be isolated with. No one should have to feel alone during this scary time.

“Stay safe, stay happy and try not to worry.”

Jessica said her daughter’s actions have left her feeling incredibly proud.

“It’s quite cute the impact that something so innocent has such a big impact on people,” she said.

“It does make me very proud of her, she does think of others which is very uncommon these days.”

Meanwhile, two siblings from Cockatoo brought a smile to the face of all who witnessed their generous act of kindness.

Eight-year-old Harper and five-year-old Arabelle decided to make free bunches of flowers for their community in the hope that their kind act would inspire others to also perform an act of kindness.

The flowers were positioned out the front of their property on Bailey Road with the message: “Help yourself to a bunch of flowers to brighten your home. All we ask is that you pay it forward and perform a random act of kindness to someone else and help spread the love.”

“We wanted to do something kind for people,” Arabelle said.

“We thought it would be nice to make people happy and brighten up their homes,” Harper added.

Their proud mother, Lisa, said the initiative came about after hearing stories of random

‘Dragging heels’ on deer

By Romy Stephens A Yellingbo conservation group is one of the latest to raise concerns about growing deer numbers across the Yarra Ranges.

Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater president Alan Clayton said about 10 kilometres of fencing has been installed at the Yellingbo Conservation Reserve to protect habitat and revegetation works from deer.

He said this type of fencing is three times more expensive than the standard farm fence.

“A combination of culling and fencing are being used to try to at least alleviate the damage that is being done to vegetation, waterways, wetlands and the breeding habitat of critically endangered species in the Yellingbo area,” he said.

The State Government is in the process of establishing a Deer Management Strategy, which is anticipated to be released this year.

A draft of the strategy was released for public consultation in October 2018 with 666 submissions received.

According to The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, a significant issue raised during the public consultation period was that the strategy needs greater emphasis and commitment to reducing the impacts of deer, and the final strategy is being prepared in line with that feedback.

But Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater said the government “has dragged its heels” in finalising the strategy.

“This strategy is extremely important to progressing control of our most destructive pest animal currently in the valley and the Dandenongs,” Mr Clayton said.

According to Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater both State and Federal Government programs have funded professional deer con-

trol in the past 12 months in the Yellingbo area and over 200 deer have been culled through these programs.

The group is now calling for more to be done including the declaration of deer as a pest species and statewide targets and monitoring with immediate action in high priority areas.

A spokesperson for DELWP said Parks Victoria undertakes deer control in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Yellingbo and Warramate Nature Conservation Reserves.

“Yarra Ranges Shire Council received funding from the Victorian Government under the Biodiversity Response Planning Fund to undertake deer control as part of its Birds 2 Butterfields Habitat Corridor Improvements project,” the spokesperson said.

“We’re working with the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions to develop a deer

Dramatic measures by State in dealing with Covid-19 Our community is currently facing an unprecedented health emergency the likes of which many of us have never seen.

As a government, we’re doing everything we can to prepare our state and our health system to help slow the spread of coronavirus.

Victoria’s health system will receive a massive $1.3 billion injection to quickly establish an extra 4,000 ICU beds as we respond to the coronavirus pandemic and protect Victorian lives.

The boost will secure the ICU equipment, staff and space we need to meet the expected surge in case load at the peak of the pandemic.

But even this won’t be enough unless Victorians do the right thing.

I know how tough it is at the moment as we

The state of

affairs James Merlino MP Member for Monbulk

live with restrictions in place - but we are all being asked to make sacrifices because it will save lives.

Currently there are only four reasons to leave your house. For food and supplies that you need. For exercise. For medical care and caregiving. And for work and education - if necessary.

As we deal with this health crisis, we know that for many Victorians this is an economic crisis as well.

That’s why we’ve created a $1.7 billion Economic Survival Package, with support for local businesses and local workers.

The National Cabinet has also agreed to a moratorium on evictions for the next six months for residential and commercial tenants who are experiencing financial distress due to the impact of coronavirus.

I encourage businesses in my electorate, and across Victoria, affected by coronavirus to contact the Business Victoria coronavirus hotline on 13 22 15.

I thank those Victorians who overwhelmingly are doing the right thing by staying at home - but we must keep at it to save lives.

Residents should check up on their more vulnerable neighbours and family members.

This is an extremely difficult time for the more isolated members of our community and we all must do our part to help them.

There are thousands of Victorians on the frontline fighting this pandemic. The rest of us have an important job to do too: Stay home. Protect our health system. Save lives.

If you suspect you may have coronavirus or have any queries, call the DHHS dedicated hotline on 1800 675 398.

Please also do not hesitate to contact my office if you need help in these unprecedented times on (03) 9754 5401 or at James.Merlino@ parliament.vic.gov.au.

Support package help Cardinia Shire Council has announced the first phase of its Community and Business Support Package: COVID-19.

The first phase of the package includes a range of support initiatives to help community and business to cope with the unprecedented effects of COVID-19.

Phase 1 support measures include fast tracking of approvals and compliance matters, temporary cessation of some fees and charges, a shop local campaign, business concierge services, and support for local contractors and rent relief options for those in Council properties.

Cardinia Shire Council has also launched its Coronavirus Online Help Hub, an online portal featuring links, fact sheets and videos on topics including support available for individuals and households, support available for businesses, what to do if you suspect you have the virus, how to protect yourself and others, family violence support and looking after your mental health.

The online help hub, accessed through Council’s website, is accompanied by a ‘call back’ option if community members would like a Council team member to contact them to assist in finding or understanding relevant support or information.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Councillor Jeff Springfield said “we know people are doing it tough and we are keen to help our community get through this together and to provide some relief to our businesses and local economy".

“I encourage anyone experiencing financial hardship to contact Council regarding your situation.

“As well as what we’re delivering in phase 1, we are also considering more support for our community and local households through our 2020–21 budget process.

“The further measures likely to be considered includes rate deferrals, and interest-free periods on outstanding rates and late payments. We look forward to bringing you more information on these in the coming days.”

Cr Springfield said Council was also actively working with the state and federal governments to strongly advocate for more ongoing support.

“Cardinia Shire Council is calling for greater community relief, recovery and support from all levels of government to complement the current commitments and responses govern-

“We are a resilient community, and phase 1 of the package and the new online help hub is intended to help you in what is a stressful and challenging time for everyone.

council’s dedicated team will return their call to assist in navigating the range of information available.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Cr Jeff Springfield said the online help hub provides the Cardinia Shire community a place to easily find key information and assistance relating to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

“These are indeed unusual times and Council recognises the normal stresses of everyday life may be amplified by the many changes we are all having to make at home, in the workplace, and socially. It can be confusing and overwhelming, and the situation is everchanging," Cr Springfield said.

“To help our community members easily navigate the enormous amount of information available and get the support they need in what may be a particularly stressful and challenging time, we have been working hard to develop this Coronavirus Online Help Hub. “It brings together a range of resources and ensures our community can access up-to-date and credible information and appropriate support services as the situation progresses.”

The Coronavirus Online Help Hub is available at www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/onlinehelphub and Council is continuing to regularly update it to best serve the many needs of our community at this time.

COVID-19 update A message from the Mayor “This is an unprecedented time and crisis facing our world, the effects of which are being hard felt by many in our local community. Cardinia Shire Council has taken a number of important steps to support our community and business through these challenging times.

“We are introducing a range of measures as part of Phase 1 of our Community and Business Support Package to help community and business cope with the unprecedented effects of COVID-19.

This is just the first step in supporting community and business.

We are also planning for further support as part of our draft 2020-21 budget process, including measures to be considered such as rate deferrals and interest-free periods for late payments and outstanding fees.

“We’ve also launched a comprehensive virtual relief centre. Our Coronavirus Online Help Hub can be accessed via our website and features a range of useful and helpful resources, please go online and have a look for yourself. Plus if you’re having trouble

finding the information you are after, you can call us or log an online request for a call back from one of our dedicated team members.

“We’re still delivering the essential services, and I encourage you to check our website for the latest updates in relation to any services or facilities impacted by current restrictions.

“We understand our community is disappointed that we have had to temporarily close our much-loved and highly utilised open spaces at Emerald Lake Park and Mount Cannibal.

These are popular areas that attract many people and are prone to gatherings, so we’ve made the difficult decision to close both reserves for the time to help ensure the health and safety of our community during this pandemic.

“Take care of yourselves and each other as we continue to navigate this difficult situation.”

Cr Jeff Springfield Mayor, Cardinia Shire Council

The AFL Outer East competition could look very different if the 2020 season gets underway. 198315

Picture: ROB CAREW

Outer East, re-imagined

By Russell Bennett AFL Outer East is ruling nothing out when it comes to what a condensed 2020 season could look like should football and netball return later this year.

Operationally, those including region general manager Aaron Bailey aren’t afraid to look outside the square if it means devising a plan that could see a return to the field and the court this year.

And they’re working with their clubs every step of the way.

For now, of course, there are much more pressing issues at play than the bounce of a ball as the world continues to come to grips with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bailey was also quick to emphasise that the health and wellbeing of the people involved in the AFL Outer East community are priority number one.

But the possibility remains that Australia’s favourite winter sports will return at some stage in 2020, and those at AFL Outer East head office are making sure they’re prepared in case that eventuates.

The Mail understands a discussion document has been drafted and sent out to all AFL Outer East clubs, with their responses due on 14 April.

In the document, AFL Outer East outlines a range of proposed structures for just what 2020 may look like.

Clearly, a return to play this year is anything but guaranteed, given the great unknown surrounding Covid-19.

But make no mistake - if AFL Outer East football and netball can return in a safe environment, it will.

It’s understood the mental health benefits for locals in clubland are a significant motivating factor behind the AFL Outer East’s detailed plan.

The competition has the ability to trade through 2020 without a season - given its strong financial position - meaning money won’t be a driving factor in the decision-making process.

18 MAIL

Tuesday, 7 April, 2020

That said, if a return to play does eventuate, it will only be in the case of each Outer East club’s financial viability.

The Mail understands that if the green light for resumption was given for 1 June, an AFL Outer East season could start on 20 or 27 June giving the clubs three to four weeks to prepare.

There could then be five weeks available all the way up until the end of October to push the season back, if required - given the cricket-free venues available at Healesville, Beaconsfield, Alexandra, and Outer East’s Kilsyth home base.

The preference is still to finish in September, but the aim is to have eight to 10-round seasons for each division - allowing for an even amount of home and away games.

It’s believed the Outer East season could potentially start as late as 1 August, if it comes to that.

Nothing is being ruled out at this stage even the possibility of an AFL-style 16-minute plus time-on system for each quarter of footy played, in case of a drastically-reduced preseason. There could even be a round-robin system for pre-season games the week before the season’s potential start - using venues with multiple grounds and courts.

Financially, there’s a significant push to lower operating costs for clubs - including the potential decrease in affiliation fees and salary caps.

It’s understood that a significant reduction in competition salary caps is part of the proposal, which mirrors the messaging at a statewide level.

Significantly, two different options have been proposed for the structure of the 2020 Outer East season - should it begin.

The first uses the current divisional model, with each club playing its divisional opponents once. The fixtures would provide an even number of games, with local derbies used for the extra games to balance out the calendar.

Under this model the season could start as late as 1 August, with the fixture subject to club consultation.

But the second proposed option is more out of left field.

It would involve Outer East clubs being split into conferences and this concept would almost certainly create added interest - given the local derbies and cut down in travel between clubs.

If crowd restrictions of, say, 500 people remain, there is a proposal to have football and netball played at alternate venues, but this concept would provide a home and away fixture and a full slate of premiers throughout the grades.

An intriguing by-product would be the development of the 2021 Premier division - based off the 2020 results.

There’d be a three-week, top four finals series with finals held in conferences, allowing for a wide range of clubs to host finals games.

The ‘home final’ concept - common in local cricket - would come into play in this model, with clubs with venues not suited to senior finals given the option of hosting women’s and veterans competition finals instead.

The conference model in ‘Option B’ is fascinating, and is based on travel, local rivalries, previous years’ performances, netball, the under-18s, junior netball, the state of the player transfer market, and a balance of venues being able to host major events.

Of course, the structure will be heavily-reviewed by the Outer East clubs and is obviously subject to change, with the draft proposal of conferences creating the following intriguing, mouth-watering divisions: Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Narre Warren, and Pakenham.

Healesville, Mount Evelyn, Seville, Wandin, and Woori Yallock.

Emerald, Olinda, Officer, Monbulk and Upwey Tecoma.

Belgrave, Berwick Springs, Gembrook Cockatoo, Powelltown, Warburton Millgrove and Yarra Junction.

Alexandra, Broadford, Kinglake, Yarra Glen, and Yea.

· · · · ·

Women’s football could use a five or six club divisional model across multiple divisions with the flexibility of having alternative fixture days - be it mid-week, Friday nights, Saturday nights, or Sundays.

There would be a top-four finals system, with the grand finals to be played in conjunction with the veterans’ competition.

The under-18 football and under-age netball would be graded, with the five to six club per division model utilised for a home and away season.

It would align with senior play as much as possible, and also have the flexibility of alternative fixture days if needed.

It’s thought that the veterans’ competition would include either seven or, potentially, five rounds, but it could also have the option of playing a grand final - paired with the women’s competition - between the top two sides.

Reserves football could potentially be shelved for 2020, depending on club feedback.

The option also exists to run a reserves competition featuring the clubs that could realistically field sides.

Delving further into the netball, the Mail understands a proposal exists to run a summer competition if the traditional winter footballnetball season couldn’t get underway.

The ‘Summer Blitz’ could be held over eight or nine weeks, with clubs competing in their current divisions.

Each week would consist of two rounds per club against opposing sides, with game times consisting of two halves.

While netball is traditionally graded each year based off clubs’ senior football performances, AFL Outer East has proposed a crossdivisional finals series in the Summer Blitz whereby the top four of each division could compete on one, blockbuster grand finale day.

When each passing day brings with it far more questions than answers for everyday Aussies, AFL Outer East moved to assure its clubs and people that football and netball will always be there for them when the Covid-19 pandemic has eased. mailcommunity.com.au

Community say on plan

Champs crowned

By Eric Markham The Monbulk Bowling Club singles championships attracted a good crowd and they were not disappointed with some excellent bowling.

The games are the first to 25 shots, no matter how many ends are played.

The women’s event found Karen Rice and Margaret O’Brien meeting in the final for the third time in a row with Karen having won on the last two occasions.

Karen started well and led by 13 shots by the eighth end. Margaret then began to find her range and made up some ground, but the lead she had given away proved the difference.

Karen won the match 25-10 and was crowned the women’s singles champion for the third year running.

In the men’s event, Richard Cookson, who had won the event at Monbulk previously, was up against Ivan Baric.

Ivan has won championships at other clubs, way back, but never at Monbulk.

Leading up to the event, the club wasn’t sure if Ivan could actually play. On Friday he had to go into hospital and have a stent put in.

He got out of hospital around midday on Saturday. Then he played in the final on Sunday.

Richard controlled the game early with some excellent draw bowling and led by seven shots, 13-6 after 14 ends. Ivan then won eight of the next 10 ends to level the scores at 16 all.

Richard continued to draw well, but Ivan played some excellent up shots to win the ends.

Ivan eventually won the game by 26-19 to win his first Monbulk singles championship in what was a fantastic effort given the health issues he had leading up to the match.

Yarra Ranges Council is encouraging the Montrose community to have its say on the draft Montrose Recreation Reserve Master Plan.

The draft master plan establishes a 10-year vision for the reserve and supports an infrastructure investment plan, in partnership with the community.

According to the council, community feedback was key in informing the draft master plan through workshops, pop-up interviews and an online survey.

Walling Ward Councillor Len Cox thanked the community for providing their vision and ideas for the future of the Montrose Recreation Reserve.

“It was great to see so many submissions from the community, we really rely on their feedback in piecing together a plan like this,” he said.

“We now want them to look over the draft Master Plan to make sure that we have the details and ideas correct, before we move to the next stage of it going to Council to be endorsed.”

Community members have until 12 April to provide feedback on the draft Master Plan, which can be done by visiting https://www. yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Council/Engage-Yarra-Ranges/Help-shape-the-future-of-Montrose-Recreation-Reserve.
