Bearing up well

By Romy Stephens An Upper Ferntree Gully woman has been spreading joy throughout her community, by planting teddy bears for children to hunt in a nearby park.

Tilly Esse said she first decided to create a teddy bear hunt in Kings Park because as a mother of three, she knew families would be struggling locked inside due to Covid-19 restrictions.

“I thought what a good idea just as a distraction for little ones because I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it would be to have little ones at home with nowhere to go,” she said.

After gathering the stuffed toys from the local op shop, which had temporarily closed

down due to Covid-19, Ms Esse started planting them.

Little did she know, the bear hunt would soon become a huge hit among locals.

“I think I had 48 that I put out and then everyday I was putting out three or four more because I could hear the kids counting them,” she said.

“I thought I’m going to trick them, I’m going to put some more out.

“I kept on putting more out and I was putting things like monkeys hanging over the trees and snakes siding through the bushes.”

Ms Esse has now planted 139 toys and said she noticed other people had also added their toys to the bear hunt.

The approval of a Planning Permit at Olinda Recreation Reserve will see two Mountain Ash trees removed and an additional netball court developed. 208322

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Trees still face the chop

By Romy Stephens An attempt to reverse a decision that approved tree removal at the Olinda Recreation Reserve has been unsuccessful.

At the Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 5 April, councillors approved a Planning Permit that sought to remove 11 trees, including two large Mountain Ash, to make way for a new netball court at the reserve.

At the 26 May Council meeting, Cr Cox put forward a rescission motion to have this Planning Permit approval revoked, however it was not carried.

Cr Cox said it wasn’t common to see a rescission motion, however he believed it was necessary in this case.

“Rescission motions don’t occur very often, in fact, I think this is the first one that this current Council has had, that’s in three-and-ahalf years,” he said.

“But they are something that councillors can use, and hopefully only carefully, when they believe councillors have made a mistake.

“Nobody likes rescission motions and I apologise for moving it last week but it is something that I believe Council has got wrong

and that Council needs to be given a chance to reverse the decision.”

Carolyn Ebdon, who also spoke at the initial Council meeting, spoke on behalf of Save the Dandenongs League in support of the rescission motion.

“The Save the Dandenongs League is very supportive of improvements to sporting facilities for the Olinda sporting community. However, we consider the plans for an extra netball court adjacent to the Olinda Mechanics Institute Hall should be put on hold until a better location can be found,” Ms Ebdon said.

“We would like to see the trees and other important vegetation surrounding the Olinda Mechanics Institute Hall saved.

“The best option we think would be to construct the new courts in an open area away from all the tall trees, such as on the golf course near the new oval, and this would provide immense public benefit.

“There would be more room there for other facilities or clubrooms to be added in the future.”

Olinda Ferny Creek Football Netball Club member Georgia Martin spoke against the rescission motion.

Ms Martin has lived in Olinda her entire life and has played netball for the club for over eight years.

She said the trees should be removed to improve safety and encourage equal opportunity.

“Women’s sport is just as important as men’s sport, the netball is just as important to the club’s success as the football and it’s a false economy to suggest otherwise,” she said.

“It is ridiculous that we have to fight for something that men’s teams are just given safety, facilities and respect.

“We are also one of the few grounds where you only need to turn your body to watch both sports. I strongly believe that the proximity of the courts to the ground is what fosters such a wonderful, inclusive culture.

“We don’t want our club culture jeopardized due to the distance between the rooms, football ground and our court being at a secondary location.”

Ultimately, the rescission motion was voted with five votes against and four votes in favour, meaning the Planning Permit approval will go ahead.

Hilltop Recreation Association president

Ben Selby-Hele said that the two new courts and cricket nets would provide safe, high quality spaces for players to train and play.

“Our netballers and cricketers absolutely deserve the best and having new courts and nets located close to our clubrooms and existing facilities, will provide just that,” he said.

“We’re delighted that on game days we can all enjoy our teams - women and men - playing at the same place, same time and being supported equally.”

Mr Selby-Hele said the association had raised $2000 towards planting more trees in the Olinda Precinct.

“We, like the majority of people that live in the hills, love the natural environment and the benefits of living amongst a tall forest,” he said.

“These two trees have made our netball court and cricket nets unsafe and, at times, unusable due to falling limbs, bark and leaves.

“We respect and value trees but we always have to be mindful of player and spectator safety, especially when we’ve had tree branches drop on to playing facilities with no notice.”

Drivers call for safer road

By Jessica Anstice When Harry Pestell heard that another person had died in a car crash on Bessie Creek Road in Gembrook, he could not sit back and wait for another victim.

In August of 2018, the Officer man lost his best friend, 19-year-old Jason Jayawardena, in a car accident on the windy dirt road.

The most recent fatality occurred on Wednesday 27 May when a man lost control of his vehicle on the road’s sharpest bend, crashing down an embankment.

Police investigators believe the man was travelling along Bessie Creek Road before the vehicle veered off and crashed down an embankment just after 4.30am. Emergency services arrived to discover the vehicle on its roof and on fire. The driver, who was on his own, died at the scene.

Mr Pestell decided enough was enough, and started an online petition in hopes to prevent more accidents from occurring along the Gembrook and Nar Nar Goon North road.

“I feel that something needs to be done about the speed limit - it is too high, especially at night time and when the weather conditions are poor, as well as wildlife presence,” he said.

“I believe the speed limit should be lowered to 80km/h since this road is unlit, has a large wildlife presence and has blind corners.

“I drive this road at least once a week to go and see the site where I lost my best friend and I have had multiple bad experiences driving on it avoiding wildlife such as wombats and kangaroos, even as recently as last night.”

While Cardinia Shire Council has secured funding to have the road sealed within the next two years, Mr Pestell believes that alone will not solve the issue at hand.

Just one day after launching the petition on Change.org, more than 50 people jumped on board by signing it in support of a speed limit reduction.

Officer resident and motorist, Blake Miller, who was also best mates with Jason Jayawardena, strongly supports the idea of having the speed limit reduced.

“That road is too fast unless it is perfect driving conditions - it is unsafe! I think the speed limit needs to be lowered to at least 80 or 70km/h,” Mr Miller said.

“I drive the road quite often as my friend’s mum lives down there and we go there all the time for dinner and we also go to the tree where we have photos of Jason where he crashed.

There are always cars going way too fast.

“The main reason we think the road’s speed limit should be lowered is to avoid any other lives being taken on that road. I drive at 80km/h regardless of the speed limit as 80km/h is more of a comfortable speed to go on a bumpy road like that.”

To sign the petition: https://www. change.org/p/vic-roads-lower-thespeed-limit-to-80-on-bessie-creekroad?recruiter=898371759&utm_ source=share_petition&utm_ medium=facebook&utm_campaign=psf_ combo_share_initial&utm_term=tap_basic_share&recruited_by_id=fe2a9150-b23a11e8-8141-efa92c39bbc1&utm_content=fht22419571-en-au%3Av10

‘Disgust’ at tourist influx

By Jed Lanyon Popular Yarra Ranges tourist destinations were closed by Parks Victoria and Victoria Police over the weekend due to concerns of severe overcrowding.

Warburton’s Redwood Forest, Ferntree Gully’s 1000 Steps and Sherbrooke’s Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens were closed, just weeks after reopening.

Police were called to the Redwood Foreston the weekend of 23-24 May as cars lined both sides of Cement Creek and Woods Point roads at the entrance of the forest after the 200 or so parking spaces were quickly filled.

Yarra Ranges councillor Jim Child described some of the behaviour in the forests as ‘disgusting’, while locals took to social media to vent about visitors who had left litter scattered in the area and in some cases toilet paper and faeces as there are no amenities in the area.

Yarra Ranges Council asked visitors to the region to avoid overcrowding at tourist attractions to help reduce the spread of Covid-19, while passing a motion to push for immediate action on road safety issues.

Council will now work with government authorities to investigate implementing ‘no stopping’ signage along Woods Point and Cement Creek roads, upgrading Cement Creek Road and installing toilets in the area.

Councillor Fiona McAllister said she was horrified at a video circulating on social media highlighting the busy roads into the forest, while calling for a quick response from Parks Victoria to remedy the situation.

Mr Child feared the issue may be repeated at the locations with the upcoming Queen’s birthday long weekend.

“Outside of the City of Melbourne, Yarra Ranges is the most visited tourist region in Victoria - and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of,” Mr Child said.

“But we’re asking visitors to be mindful of overcrowding during this time, when there are still risks of COVID-19 spreading through the community.

“The last thing we would want to see is outbreaks from hundreds of people visiting an area in the region, which could result in people’s health being at risk and restrictions being re-introduced by the State Government.

“If you’re planning a visit to the Yarra Ranges, please be flexible and willing to find a new spot to visit if you see a full carpark. Ensure you’re parked safely and away from busy roads and keep social distancing in mind whenever you’re around groups of people.

A Parks Victoria spokesperson said, “With physical distancing requirements still in place, people should use good judgment if a park is busy - such as by heading to a quieter alternative.”

“We will continue to work with Victoria Police and the Office of the Conservation Regulator to ensure people look after Victoria’s parks, keep each other safe, and follow essential physical distancing requirements.”

Due to the rapidly changing nature of the situation, Parks Victoria staff will monitor visitation rates with the possibility of further changes to park closures, pending advice from health authorities.

Warburton’s Redwood Forest was closed over the weekend.

Ashlee’s incredible fight

By Romy Stephens Olinda Ferny Creek Football Netball Club’s Ashlee Howard has quite the netball story.

From playing for Victoria’s most prestigious team, the Melbourne Vixens, to a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis at age 28 threatening her chances of ever playing again.

Growing up in a netball family meant Ashlee was exposed to the game at a young age. She began playing locally at age seven, before moving her way up the representative system.

In Grade 6, Ashlee was selected in the Victorian team for the first time and after that she never looked back, being selected again in Under 17s, 19s and 21s.

She also played in the Victorian Netball League for Boroondara Express and was then picked up by the Melbourne Vixens - known as Melbourne Kestrels at the time - at age 18.

“The last year of that Commonwealth Bank Trophy I was in the Kestrels playing with them and then it merged into the ANZ Championship so the Melbourne Vixens was formed,” Ashlee said.

“It was a big year in 2009 because the Vixens got into the grand final and won which was awesome just to be part of it.

“I was on the bench when Sharelle McMahon was in front of me so she was playing, fair enough.”

Despite 2009 being one of the best years in Ashlee’s career, it ended on a sour note.

“I was in the Aussie Under 21 team and it was World Youth Cup year...We were off to the Cook Islands,” Ashlee recalled.

“I was playing in the semi final and within the first three minutes of that I went down with my ACL, so I couldn’t play the rest of the tournament.”

It wasn’t until 2010 that Ashlee could return to the court. She did a stint in Perth playing with the West Coast Fever before returning home to the Vixens for her final season in 2012.

But returning from an ACL injury wasn’t the biggest challenge Ashlee has faced in her netball journey.

After finishing with the Vixens, Ashlee moved up to OFC Football Netball Club.

It was during a grand final against Wandin in 2016 that her life changed forever.

“It was neck and neck the whole game and we ended up losing the grand final by about one or two goals,” Ashlee said.

“After the game I said to mum, ‘my legs are really heavy and it was a real effort to play the 60 minutes of that game’.”

Ashlee returned to the club the next day for end of season celebrations, but she said her body still didn’t feel right.

“My right leg was a bit numb and I thought something’s weird, so I kept stretching and rolling,” she said.

“It was numbness in my right leg and then it had come to the bottom of my left leg as well.

“Then two or three days after the grand final pretty much from my hips down was numb.”

Two months later, Ashlee was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. “Progressive is where you are progressively getting worse and worse throughout your lifespan, relapsing is when you have a few relapses throughout your lifetime but hopefully you get out of that,” Ashlee explained.

“I’ve only had one big relapse and that was in 2016 but it lasted a while, it probably lasted about three or four months.”

After the worst of her symptoms calmed, Ashlee began rehab - determined to get back onto the netball court as soon as possible.

As much as the training side of things and building up fitness was extremely challenging, Ashlee said it was a battle with mental health that was her biggest roadblock.

“When someone’s in a relapse it’s more about their mental health rather than anything because you’re quite down about yourself,” she said.

“That’s important with people knowing about MS is yes, it’s physical but it’s also a lot inside their head. They can’t really comprehend sometimes what’s going on with their body.

“It’s taken a long time to get to a place where it’s now ok and I know what’s happening with my body.” mailcommunity.com.au

Former Melbourne Vixen Ashlee Howard is now thriving at the Olinda Ferny Creek Football Netball Club. 209135 Ashlee said the club culture at OFC Football and Netball Club was hugely influential in helping her get back on track.

“When I came back after dealing with this MS side of things my mental health was shocking and I’d come through the gates quite visibly sad, but I made myself come,” she said.

“The whole community was so supportive and came up and gave me a hug. You just know

everyone’s there for each other and it’s really important, this community, for the mental health side of things.”

Ashlee, who is now a personal trainer and netball coach, said her fitness and mental health is currently in a great place.

Despite Covid-19 restrictions, the club has still been running training sessions online every Thursday night, which Ashlee said had

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

been a huge success.

Ashlee will release her first fitness Ebook in July, which is an at home workout program with no equipment needed. More information can be found by visiting her social media page Ashlee Howard Bodyfit.

She also welcomed the arrival of her first baby earlier this year in January.

Know the support options The response from both state and government to supporting businesses through coronavirus has been both swift and fair and it is good to see a bipartisan approach to this being employed as well (something it would be good to see more of when “normal” times return too).

Although the financial measures have been well publicised, I thought I would summarise what is typically available for SMEs just in case you were not aware of these already: 1. Cash-flow Boost for Employers For the Jan-Mar quarter, the government is providing a cash boost for SMEs with a turnover of <$50M and Not-for-Profits of up to $50,000 with a minimum payment of $10,000 for those companies that employ staff. The intent is to cover costs whilst revenue is down and is based upon the BAS PAYG bill. A second tranche of up to $50,000 (minimum $10,000) is available in addition for the Jul-Sep quarter.

2. 50% Wage Subsidy for Apprentices and Trainees The government is keen to see that SMEs re-

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH tain apprentices and trainees and hence will pay 50% of the apprentices or trainees wage from 1st Jan through to 30th Sept up to a maximum of $7,000 per quarter for SMEs with less than 20 full-time staff.

3. JobKeeper Allowance A flat amount of $1,500 per fortnight will be paid for each eligible employee to businesses that have reduced turnover as compared to the equivalent period last year, regardless of how much they earn so that each employer should receive a minimum of $1500 per fortnight. This payment applies to full-time, part-

Time to get moving together As we count down the days until 22 June, let’s take a minute to explore what we have been missing for the last two months - group exercise classes! Goodbye my Zoom trainer, hello real people.

It’s a widely purported phenomenon that exercising in a group, on average, results in better physical outcomes than exercising alone, but perhaps what is surprising are the benefits to mental and emotional wellbeing.

The physical outcome benefits appear relatively straightforward.

There’s the increased compliance that comes with having the commitment of a class booked in, leading to greater consistency and motivation. Who wants to be the no-show or seen as a piker in a group of regulars?

Exercising with a group or partner will also on average increase the time spent and intensity of exercise, as people tend to push themselves a little more in a group situation.

Multiple studies have even found reduced pain perception of those who exercise together compared to those who exercise alone, allowing participants to push themselves harder and achieve better outcomes.

One study of rugby players found even that anaerobic performance improved after a synchronised warm-up routine due to this effect.

Having an expert guide the group allows for better technique, grading of exercises to an individual level and variation of exercises all important factors in improving motivation and physical outcomes.

Yet it goes deeper than this. We are social beasts after all, even the introverts amongst us.

And group exercise, much like team sport, can lead to improved confidence, self-esteem levels and mental wellbeing compared to exercising solo.

One study I came across even showed increased levels of self-reported calmness after

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda group exercise, although I personally can’t advocate this from my experience!

Anecdotally, our clients tell us that they have really benefited from the sense of belonging to a group with the unexpected joy of connections with others whom you may normally just walk on by.

Seeing others in your position, hearing their stories and sharing common goals provides a motivation to continue exercising beyond the realm of physical benefits.

So pull yourself out of your iso-comfort zone and get involved with some friends, colleagues or any random individuals and get exercising together.

Forced humour on the force Coffee and Kareem Starring Ed Helms, Terrence Little Gardenhigh and Betty Gilpin Rated MA15+ Good comedies are hard to review, as it’s difficult to explain why they’re funny without spoiling the humour. Conversely, reviewing a bad comedy is easy, as you can show why the humour doesn’t work and spare your readers.

Coffee and Kareem isn’t as bad (or morally contemptible) as last week’s The Wrong Missy, but it’s still a grating, unfunny comedy.

Police officer James Coffee (Ed Helms) reluctantly teams up with his girlfriend’s overbearing son Kareem (Terrence Little Gardenhigh) to foil a drug deal.

James and Kareem gradually come to re-

spect each other through shared adversity, but their bonding is undermined by Kareem’s spiteful, vulgar and obnoxious personality.

Drug dealer Orlando (RonReaco Lee) and his henchmen share some witty dialogue, and Betty Gilpin is clearly having fun as the overthe-top villain, but most of the humour is crude and mean-spirited. A long homophobic gag and a strained comedic acknowledgement of racial discrimination in the US police force stand out as particularly uncomfortable. The plot’s attempt at rising tension falls flat, the dirty cop twist is glaringly obvious, and the climax devolves into a trite Die Hard homage.

Blunt and wearisome, Coffee and Kareem is available for streaming on Netflix, but I wouldn’t advise it.

She’s bearing up very well From page 1 She has become so dedicated to the initiative, that she even makes an effort to keep the scattered bears dry.

“I go along and I dry the bears if it’s been raining,” she said.

“Every couple of days I go along and give their fur a rub and just clean them up.”

The hunt has also extended to her own home, with the planting of a giant Winnie the Pooh bear and miniature Piglet out the front that she keeps dry by putting an umbrella over when it rains.

But something that Ms Esse is most proud of is the signs she pinned up on a lamp post out the front of her house, which thanks workers on the frontline of the Covid-19 crisis.

The sign includes a thank you to workers such as nurses, medical staff, teachers, aged care staff, police and more.

It also has a sign underneath asking people to put a note in Ms Esse’s letterbox if there was anyone she had forgotten on the sign.

“It’s something that I think I wanted to do desperately, the sign was something I had to do,” Ms Esse said.

“I knew I had to do something to thank the medical staff and aged care facilities workers and postal workers.

“I got a letter from the postie on the back of an envelope that said ‘thank you for your appreciation, from your postie’.”

Ms Esse said it had been an “absolute delight” to receive such a positive community response to her initiatives.

She said that despite the pandemic being a tragedy, it was comforting to see people support each other during these difficult times.

“It’s a friendly community but everybody is always in a hurry driving their cars. Now everybody’s walking and we have time for each other, we care for each other,” she said.

“The one upside of the lockdown has been this delightful coming together of community, it’s just fabulous, I love it.”

Positive purpose

By Jed Lanyon

Healesville’s Grand Hotel has fitted out the pub’s exterior with several posters in a bid to lift community spirit.

Pedestrians and drivers passing the iconic hotel can easily spot the signage, which has been created by locals to share messages of support for those doing it tough.

Healesville resident and pub-goer Kersten Gentle said the idea came from her daughter Nikita, who pitched the idea to the business owners of the hotel.

“We recognised how community minded Lisa and Tom are and my daughter said, ‘why don’t we do some posters to brighten up the place as people are walking’ and the response from people has been amazing,” Ms Gentle said.

“This town has gone through a lot in the past and I know that if the community comes together now, we will make sure that everyone gets through this. And that’s what these posters are about; making sure that everyone comes through the other end of this pandemic.”

Business owner Lisa McKay-Campbell invites locals to design their own A2 posters to display across the pub as they enlist the services of Breen Printing to create their positive posters. Relatives of Ms McKay-Campbell, who were in Mallacoota at the time of the recent bushfires were involved in a similar feat paying respects to the nation’s firefighters.

The idea initially started as a home-schooling art class activity but is now open for people of all ages with time to spare in isolation.

“One of the biggest problems with the pandemic is the effect on people’s mental health, so if these posters can put a smile on someone’s face then the Grand is doing a good job ...

To me this is the perfect canvas for our town,” Ms Gentle said.

Ms McKay-Campbell said that some of her

The Grand Hotel is now operating a drivethrough takeaway meal service for locals looking for a restaurant quality meal without having to leave the comfort of their car.

“It’s something that we would never had or-

dinarily done ... It’s the only thing we can really do,” Ms McKay-Campbell said.

“You drive through the bottle shop and they pass it to you through the car window. You can literally come through in your pyjamas.”

As part of their takeaway menu, the hotel has also started cooking regular Sunday roasts for customers.

New location proposed

By Romy Stephens The decision on the proposed location for an Upwey Men’s Shed has been deferred, as Yarra Ranges Council looks to investigate another proposed site at its Upwey Depot.

The further investigation comes after a Special Committee made up of councillors heard submissions from the public, both for and against, the originally proposed site at 56 Griffiths Road, Upwey on 25 February.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Richard Higgins said there were numerous reasons why an alternative site was being investigated.

“After taking on board all the submissions made to the Special Committee, and looking at what would be required from a planning and zoning perspective at the 56 Griffiths Road, Upwey site, we thought it would be best to look at an alternative,” he said.

“As a result, we re-engaged with the Upwey Men’s Shed group to take another look at some locations that were previously discarded, with the Upwey Depot site on Glenfern Road now being the favourable option.

“Originally a lack of available space was the reason for previously overlooking the site, but if reconfigured, there could be a way to house the Upwey Men’s Shed within that compound.

“From here, the next step is to obtain a report on the suitability of the new proposed location, and then we’ll go from there.”

At a Council meeting on 26 May Charlotte Schraa spoke in favour of developing a men’s shed at the Council’s Upwey Depot.

Ms Schraa initially spoke against the proposed Griffiths Road site in front of the Special Committee.

“This time, I’m speaking in support of the recommendation put to Council. On behalf of Griffiths Road residents, I do encourage the council to consider the new location that has emerged for the Upwey Men’s Shed,” Ms Schraa said.

“The location has much to recommend it.

Out from home, the school gates re-open Normality returns to supermarkets

By Taylah Eastwell

After two months of empty classrooms and silent schoolyards, Victorian schools welcomed back about 257,000 students on 26 May as part of a staged return to classroom learning.

Students in Prep, Grade 1, Grade 2, VCE, VCAL and students at specialist schools were among the first to return to the classroom, with remaining year levels set to return by 9 June.

Education Minister James Merlino praised school communities for their efforts with remote learning during the pandemic.

“Remote learning hasn’t been easy, but I couldn’t be prouder of how our principals, teachers, support staff, students and families have responded to the challenge,” Mr Merlino said.

Mr Merlino recently announced a summit will be held in June to investigate what improvements can be made to the education system as a result of the remote learning experience.

For now, students from Grade 3 to Year 10 continue to learn from home, allowing the Chief Health Officer to monitor the effects of returning to school on the transmission of coronavirus in the community.

College Principal at Yarra Hills Secondary College Darren Trippett said the remote learning experience received fantastic feedback, but there was still a positive atmosphere inside the school gates upon return.

“It’s basically a new normal, the return is not to what it used to be like, “ Mr Trippett said.

At Yarra Hills, the ‘new normal’ involves strict hygiene practices and all classroom doors are left open to reduce contact with door handles. While every student must be outside during breaks to minimise congregation inside, there is no borrowing sports equipment for the time being. Even the once shared canteen sauce has been replaced, with individual sachets given to students to minimise contact.

“The students have actually been very reasonable and mature about distancing themmailcommunity.com.au

They’re doing really well,“ Mr Trippett said.“It’s a little bit more time consuming but we’re confident that the protocols we have in place make it a very safe environment.

Many schools are also implementing staggered drop-off and pick-ups to reduce the number of adults gathering inside school grounds at any one time.

Principal at Montrose Primary School Kylie Fisher said staggered start and end times have been a success. Students in Prep to Grade 2 arrive and finish 15 minutes earlier than usual school times, and when Grades 3-6 return they will arrive at 9am and finish at 3.30pm to reduce groups gathering inside the schoolyard.

“The return has been really successful. We sent out quite detailed information about return to school and what the procedures would be,” Ms Fisher said.

“The important part was making sure the return to school was exciting and enjoyable.

We had balloons and staff supporting students and the gate and encouraging parents to do a kiss and drop.

Montrose Primary School preps Eleanor, Flynn and Olivia were happy to return to school.

Parents are doing a ‘kiss and drop’ at two designated entry points, with students greeted by staff as they step foot off the school crossing.

“The kids have really stepped up and been resilient. They are so excited to be back seeing their friends and be back in their normal routines,” Ms Fisher said.

The end to altered supermarket shopping conditions due to Covid-19 is in sight, with Coles has announced the end to product restrictions.

From 27 May all product buying restrictions at Coles will be lifted so customers can buy unlimited items of products such as flour, pasta, rice, toilet paper, liquid soap and hand sanitiser.

It comes after product restrictions were put in place at the beginning of the pandemic, on up to 24 products due to panic buying and stripped supermarket shelves.

Antibacterial wipes and liquid soap are the final products to have buying limits removed.

A Coles spokesperson said the company hoped having no buying restrictions would make life easier for customers following what has been “a challenging time for many.”

“We would like to thank our customers for their ongoing patience and our team for their incredible work to help us reach a new normal in shopping,” the spokesperson said.

“We are also grateful to our suppliers and logistics partners who helped restock our shelves and the state and federal governments who helped us to get deliveries to stores as quickly as possible during the height of the crisis.

“It’s very important that we all continue to work together and follow government guidelines in store to maintain social distancing.

The safety of our team and customers remains our biggest focus as we continue to get through this together as a community.”

Customers can still only buy four tins of baby formula per transaction as this was in place prior to Covid-19.

NEWS Dietitian Sharon Natoli shares her tips to keep snacking on track this winter using Australian Eggs.

Supercharge your winter snacks With winter upon us, it’s important we are fueling our bodies with the right nutrients to help us focus, keep our immune system healthy and our energy levels high. Many people are also still working from home, and while it’s become a familiar routine for most, easy access to a full fridge when the weather gets colder can sometimes mean snacking more frequently, and on food we wouldn’t choose when in our normal work routine.

Australian Eggs has teamed up with Dietitian and Author Sharon Natoli, to share her tips on how to help manage your food intake and snacking through winter, including the snacks that can help supercharge your immune system. regularly: When it comes to eating, it · Eat helps to stay in a regular routine. Plan to eat

·

·

·

·

·

· ·

healthy snacks and meals around every 3-4 hours. Eating regularly helps manage hunger which in turn helps manage not only how much you eat, but the type of foods you choose. The hungrier you are, the more likely it is that you will eat more, eat quickly, and be less intentional about your choices.

Choose foods to boost your immunity: In the current environment and with winter approaching, choose foods that are high in immunity boosting nutrients, like protein, iron, selenium, vitamin A and vitamin D. Boiled eggs are great to keep in the fridge as a handy, natural ‘protein ball’ and contain good amounts of these key nutrients so are a great inclusion as a healthy snack. Vitamin C is also key to a strong immune system so choose fruit and vegetables to snack on, like vitamin C-rich red capsicum, kiwi fruit, citrus like oranges, grapefruit and mandarins, guava and strawberries.

Choose energy boosting snacks: A good way to get energy from your snacks is to combine foods that contain both carbohydrates, for the energy our brain needs to think, and protein or fibre, to have the energy last for longer.

Foods that provide B vitamins, iron and magnesium are also great choices. Try chopped egg on wholegrain crackers, nuts and fruit together, or a savoury muffin (for more ideas see the accompanying egg recipes).

Plan ahead: Just as you might plan your meals, it’s also useful to plan your snacks.

Write out a list of ideas that include both savoury and sweet options. Shop for these, or the ingredients you need to make them, and that way you will have choices readily available when you need them to satisfy your palate.

Cultivate a curious palate: By sticking to the usual suspects that we eat day in and day out, we can get bored and disinterested. To build joy into food and eating, each week aim to try something new to snack on. This also helps expand your palate, opening a whole new world of food experiences. If you have children who are fussy eaters, it’s a great way to model behaviours that also encourage them to be curious about food and explore new flavours.

Make it nourishing: A good question to ask yourself before you eat is ‘is this choice nourishing me?’. Make a decision to only eat foods that nourish you – whether that’s nourishing your body, mind or your soul. Create your own definition of what this means for you.

Share your intentions: Accountability empowers action so share your snacking intentions with others in your household. Take snack breaks together and use the experience to create connection and conversation.

Indulgence in smaller portions: Research shows there is a point of fatigue when it comes to the enjoyment of rich foods, for example, chocolate or cakes and biscuits. If we eat too much of these types of foods for example, there is a point where our experience turns from pleasurable to sickly and we stop enjoying them. To help prevent this, serve small portions of these types of foods.

Once you have finished eating, tune in to how your body is feeling and ask yourself if you feel satisfied. If so, move on with the rest of your day.

The mammoth project is being jointly funded with $1.45 million from Cardinia Shire Council and a further $1 million from the Federal Government’s Community Development Program.

With majority of the old club rooms now demolished, works are underway to build the new pavilion which will include unisex and universally accessible change rooms for players and umpires, accessible amenities with a lift to access the first floor, a gym and a first aid room.

There will also be more room for storage, a minor upgrade to the existing kitchen and social room and an upgrade to the spectator viewing lounge and timekeeper’s room.

Member for La Trobe Jason Wood said the redeveloped pavilion will provide a modern and inclusive space for the local sporting community to enjoy.

“Back in 2016 I committed the $1m to upgrade the very old and antiquated facilities, in actual fact they were the worst changing rooms in the area,” he said.

“It is great to see this project progress to construction and the Australian Government is proud to be able to support local sporting clubs with the upgraded facilities they desperately need. From the government perspective, what I’ve been really pushing for is to make sure work is underway now to keep people in jobs.

“The new pavilion will help Gembrook’s local football, netball and cricket clubs keep pace with increased participation and continue to meet sporting codes and standards.”

Cardinia Shire mayor Jeff Springfield said the project was a great example of collaborative efforts to improve much loved and well

“A collaborative effort between federal and local governments and our local Gembrook sporting clubs, this project will bring the reserve’s pavilion into the modern age and continue to serve the Gembrook community and their growing clubs well into the future,” Cr Springfield said.

After many years of advocating for the upgrade, Cr Leticia Wilmot is thrilled about the works having recently commenced.

“It will be great to get this club room done as the football club is important to Cockatoo and Gembrook - the facility is desperately needed by the two communities,” Cr Leticia Wilmot said.

“It’s a really strong club so it will be great to get them back into a nice, new and modernised facility.”

Cr Brett Owen has been lobbying for the upgrade since about 2012.

“Personally, I’ve been advocating for an upgrade here since 2012 and it’s great to see it finally happen,” he said.

The redevelopment will bring the pavilion up to the required standards for the respective sporting codes and provide universally accessible facilities to support greater participation in sport for females.

Gembrook Cockatoo Football Netball Club president Ross Hubbard said the construction of a new pavilion has come at a good time.

“The community is growing and so construction has come at the right time to facilitate the growth in the area,” Mr Hubbard said.

“Beforehand it was very small and not able to adequately cope with the amount of teams, players and volunteers that we have at the club. We probably had the worst rooms in the league.

“Because the club is growing we need a bigger building to compete with the other clubs.”

The club’s vice president, Marcus Adams, said the new asset will be “incredible” for the club and community.

“I’ve played here since I was a little kid and you get used to the rooms but the standard of rooms here compared to all of the other clubs has been pretty dismal,” Mr Adams said.

“It’s great for the development of the young fellas and young ladies within the club - football and netball.

“It’s just terrific for the community has a whole.”

The redevelopment will also provide a community space for the local community to access.

The upgraded pavilion will be used by the Gembrook Cockatoo Football Netball Club, theGembrook Cricket Club, as well as local community groups.

Cardinia Council will continue to work closely with the Gembrook Cockatoo Football Netball Club, Gembrook Recreation Reserve’s Section 86 Committee of Management and the Gembrook Cricket Club during the project.

Works have started onsite and are expected to be completed by February next year.

The existing netball courts at Gembrook Recreation Reserve have been completely replaced with professional and competition-level acrylic surfacing, in time for the next season.

Through its Capital Works program, Cardinia Shire Council spent $505,000 on the overall project, which will benefit the whole community.

Former Gembrook Cockatoo Football Netball Club netball coach Mickey U’Ren said she is thrilled about the new bright blue courts.

“I think it’s going to bring more people to the club, more players, and give that boost to the club that I think we’ve needed over this

time,” she said.

“Hopefully it brings some local players back as well.”

Not only has the club received two new courts, but new lighting, shelters and fencing has also been installed.

Cockatoo Football Netball Club vice president Marcus Adams is hoping the new courts, as well as the $2.5 million pavilion which is currently being constructed, will help boost participation in the area and attract new members.

“I think it will attract a number of people and players back to Gembrook,” Mr Adams added.

“It’s just terrific for the community.”

STUNNING FOUR BEDROOMS + STUDIO CONVENIENTLY located only five minutes drive to the Gembrook township, this stunningly renovated four bedroom home is a dream come true.

Set on almost two thirds of an acre, the home invites you onto the front timber deck with feature planter box, inferring a quality that continues throughout the entire home.

Stepping into the living area you are immediately struck by the dark feature wall and contrasting floating floor which gives the room an atmosphere of warmth, championed by the large wood heater in the corner, making those chilly evenings a delight. The addition of a split system air conditioner keeps you cool in the summer so the family is comfortable all year round.

The huge master bedroom, zoned away from the other bedrooms, has massive built in robes and equally large ensuite which is both functional and aesthetic.

The living room diverges into the equally striking kitchen, where the light dances around the room with white cupboards, stainless steel appliances and white bench tops with bold red splash back tiles that

achieve a gorgeous contrast.

The kitchen bench also serves as a breakfast bar into the adjoining dining area which is just as spacious and bright with a large window and double glass sliding doors.

The remaining bedrooms are all carpeted and robed and serviced by the main bathroom and separate toilet.

Accessed from both the meals area and living room, the river red timber entertaining deck is spacious and looks over the entire rear yard. The roof is insulated and has panels that allow the light to diffuse through without the heat.

Another attractive aspect of this property is the addition of a delightfully renovated bungalow which makes working from home not only easy, but enjoyable. Alternatively, use it as a teenagers retreat or home for aging parents.

There is a huge triple lock up garage with electric roller doors and enough room for a work shop and a cubby for the kids so everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are taken care of.

Finally, this home is cheap to run with a massive 4 kW solar unit!

This property is a real delight and feels like home. Make an inquiry to secure your inspection today!

BANKING WITH LOCALS IN TOUGH TIMES DANDENONG Ranges Community Bank Group Chairman John Waters is proud that the three branches under the group’s banner have remained open and serving their customers throughout what has been the most challenging of times.

“The managers and staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that we remain open during this difficult time,” Mr Waters said.

“It’s really ‘business as usual’ as far as banking is concerned at our branches in Upwey, Belgrave and Cockatoo, with the necessary social distancing of course.”

Senior Group Manager, Mike Fleming said there were a lot of people and businesses doing it tough, however there were also some businesses out there that are doing alright or planning what they intend to do once the restrictions are lifted.

“For instance, with the end of the financial year approaching, many businesses will want to take advantage of the Government’s incentives and should go to the ATO website and look up ‘instant asset write-off expansion’ which will give detailed information on what is eligible,” Mr Fleming said.

“We have some great rates at the moment and our staff are available to answer any questions. This is a good time to take an equipment finance loan out and plan for the future.

“Most of our staff live locally and are truly interested in our local businesses doing well along with the benefits that the bank can be bring to the area.

“We have just notched up $5.3 million in returns to our communities through sponsorships, grants, dividends and major projects. This is an achievement that we are all very proud of.” ● The DRCBG management team, from left, Bruce McConnell, Abigael Jamieson, Mike Fleming, Teresa Spruhan, Mick Spruhan.

SPORT

Support cash

Local clubs benefit Eildon MP Cindy McLeish announced the successful local sports clubs who secured funding as part of the latest round of VicHealth Active Club Grants.

Ms McLeish said, “Two clubs in the Upper Yarra, Woori Yallock Football Netball Club and Yarra Junction Bowling Club secured the VicHealth Active Club Grant - both with very different ideas.”

Woori Yallock Football Netball Club plans to introduce a new club social sport program for women, called Woori Ball.

This creative game is a combination of Australian rules, soccer, netball and touch football using a modified ground size and restricted contact. The club will also promote the This Girl Can Victoria campaign at their club as part of a state-wide movement to get more women active.

Yarra Junction Bowling Club is introducing a ‘Welcoming Women to Bowls’ program that will offer women’s-only days, encouraging women to learn new skills and become more active socially in the club.

“This is a great initiative to introduce to the community and offer more options to different levels of sporting capabilities and expand social circles.”

This round of Active Club Grants aims to provide and support a wide range of opportunities for women and girls to become active through sport.

The grants also support clubs to implement new social or modified sport programs that appeal to less active Victorians, including people living with disability and people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

“Although sporting activities are currently on hold, the news of funding is welcomed and something for these clubs and members to

Eildon MP Cindy McLeish at Yarra Junction Bowls Club. look forward to implementing when community sport returns.” Ms McLeish said.

President of the Yarra Junction Bowling Club, Ian MacGregor said, “We’re very excited to get the grant. It means we can buy equipment so ladies can join us, which is our prime objective at the moment. We’re very proud to be considered and to receive the grant.”

Woori Yallock Football Netball Club Trea-

surer, Sandra Allen said, “We greatly appreciate the funding initiatives that we’ve received.

The flow on effect of Woori Ball allows greater female involvement in traditionally male dominated areas and the grant will be of significant benefit in acquiring additional sporting equipment to further grow our modified game and create opportunities for more female involvement within our club.”

Community sporting clubs and associations can now apply for a share of $40 million in State Government grants dedicated to supporting grassroots players and volunteers.

From 25 May, 12,000 clubs and associations across Victoria can apply for support through the Community Sport Sector Short-term Survival Package.

The program has been designed to help with basic running costs and to support the return to play.

Eligible organisations will be able to apply for funding in four categories. These include up to $350,000 for large state sporting associations, up to $200,000 for smaller state sporting associations, regional sports assemblies and academies, and other state sport and recreational bodies, up to $15,000 for associations and leagues and up to $1,000 for individual clubs.

Community sport Minister Ros Spence also confirmed that $68 million from the Government’s $2.7 billion Building Works stimulus package would be allocated to fast-track sports infrastructure projects across the state.

“Community sport plays such a vital role in the lives and wellbeing of so many Victorians, and that’s why we are getting behind our clubs,” Ms Spence said.

“This is making it that little bit easier to pay the bills as we start to train again and move cautiously towards a return to the park.

“We will back projects that have the support of their community, will create jobs and provide real benefits.”

Applications for grants under the Victorian Community Sport Sector Short-term Survival Package will be accepted from 25 May until 15 June, or until the funding allocation is exhausted.
