Testing times A new Coronavirus testing clinic has opened in Healesville, allowing anyone who has symptoms to be tested for the virus.

Eastern Health staff have been on site at Healesville Senior Citizens Hall testing locals daily. Eastern Health program director (specialty medicine and ambulatory care) Anne Mennen said over 230 local residents had attended the testing clinic in the first week.

“Healesville was selected as Eastern Health already provided a smaller service for Eastern Health’s GP clinic at the Healesville Hospital.

However, the site there was not suitable for a service expansion across seven days per week and longer days.

“We did want to ensure we continued to provide a local service in Healesville as there is no other local service.

“We are able to perform over 100 tests per day - so far we have provided up to 60 per day.

As no appointment is necessary, we are staffed to ensure over 100 per day can be offered, to ensure good access for everyone who turns up.”

Ms Mennen said anyone with Covid-19 or flu-like symptoms can come along to get tested. This may include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or a loss of sense of taste or smell.

The DHHS reported two Covid-19 cases in Healesville earlier this month. The cases were linked to staff members of two aged care homes.

All staff members and residents were tested following the initial cases and found no further trace of the virus.

The new testing site is open from 9.30am to 4pm seven days a week with no appointment necessary. Visitors are asked to bring a form of ID and a mask. Those who do not have a mask will be provided one upon entry to the hall.

From Thursday 23 July, Yarra Ranges residents will be required to wear a face covering when leaving home for one of the four reasons, following a concerning increase in coronavirus cases in recent days.

The State Government said those found not wearing face masks will be fined $200.

A statement from the Victorian Government explained reasons where wearing a face covering won’t be necessary.

“There will be some reasons not to wear a face covering. For example, those who have a medical reason, kids under 12 years of age, those who have a professional reason or if it’s just not practical, like when running - however you will still be expected to carry your face covering at all times to wear when you can.

“In our schools, that’ll mean teachers don’t have to wear a face covering while teaching but students attending for VCE, VCAL or for onsite supervision will, while everyone will be expected to wear one on the way to and from school.

The DHHS reported nine active coronavirus cases in the Yarra Ranges as at Monday 20 July, up from seven on Sunday.

$10m project a jobs boon Construction work has commenced on a modern training centre at Box Hill Institute’s Lilydale Lakeside Campus.

Minister for Training and Skills Gayle Tierney attended a virtual event on Wednesday 15 July to celebrate the sod turning, marking the start of construction on the $10.2 million Integrated Centre for Sustainable Construction Technologies.

The new centre will feature a modern industrial facility fitted with the latest technology needed to deliver cutting-edge carpentry, electrical and plumbing apprenticeship training.

This includes an emphasis on sustainable construction practices and technologies, providing students with industry-current skills and a clear pathway to the jobs of the future in the construction industry.

Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said, “This new centre means that students from Lilydale and surrounding areas can access local training for the jobs that will be needed as part of our recovery from the pandemic, and as our population continues to grow.”

The project will provide the region with a range of training opportunities and address key skills and training gaps in Melbourne’s outer east, according to the State Government.

The centre will include ultra-modern workshops, classrooms, material storage facilities, staff workplaces and general amenities.

“This centre will help give Victorians - particularly those hit hard by the pandemic - the skills they need to secure high-quality jobs,” Ms Tierney said.

The Integrated Centre for Sustainable Construction Technologies is expected to open in early 2021.

Birthday cheer for lake It was once a “wasteland” area and now 30 years on it has become one of the most popular parks in Melbourne’s east.

Lillydale Lake was a combined project between the Shire of Lillydale and Melbourne Water to stop the township of Lilydale flooding and provide community members with quality open space.

Walling Ward Councillor Len Cox said the lake opened on 7 July, 1990, after years of works to prepare the grounds.

“Though Melbourne Water built the lake, Council then had to build the parkland, because what you had here before was pretty much a wasteland,” Cr Cox said.

“It had been cleared, it was full of rubbish - including car bodies - with a creek running through it.

“It opened in 1990 and, without any doubt at all, it’s been the most popular project that Council’s ever done.

“If you came down here on a weekend when the weather is reasonable, you’ll find it’s packed with people - I think it’s the most popular outdoor spot in Yarra Ranges.”

Lillydale Lake was named after the Shire of Lillydale - not the town of Lilydale - and so has a double-l in its name.

Billanook Ward Councillor, Tim Heenan, said that extensive works had been carried out since the lake opened, to improve the look of the area, provide exercise opportunities and make the lake safe after dark.

“Lillydale Lake has grown enormously in its popularity over the last 30 years,” he said.

“The trees you see there were all planted - and there were many, many thousands of them.

“It’s become a fantastic asset for Lilydale.

The playground has always been a real treasure and recent inclusions are the dog off-lead course, full security lighting on the outside of the lake and an accessible water fountain for

Cr Len Cox and Coordinator of Urban Parks, Craig Stewart with some socially-distant cupcakes. people and dogs.

“What we have here is something that Lilydale people have been looking forward to for many years.”

Cr Heenan encouraged visitors to the lake to be mindful of social distancing and restrictions on outdoor gatherings during the return of Stage 3 Coronavirus restrictions.

“Please respect the situation we have at the moment - social distancing is paramount,” he said.

“We’re only allowed to be in small groups of two outdoors at the moment and while getting outdoors is great for exercise and mental health, please keep plenty of distance from others until the situation changes.”

Melba Ward Councillor, Terry Avery, said that families had been regularly visiting the lake for decades, returning as children grew up and became parents themselves.

“In thirty years, Lillydale Lake has become one of the most popular spots to visit in Yarra Ranges - we’re proud of the work that’s been

done here and look forward to seeing how this beloved area will grow and change in coming years,” Cr Avery said.

“We’ve had people who visited the lake as children come back with their own children and new families planting trees at the lake that they can come back and visit.

“I’m a regular visitor with my family, and I know that the community has already taken ownership of this place - I’m sure we’ll all keep it as a treasured place to go for the next 30 years.”

Workplace manslaughter is now a jailable offence.

As an employer, if a workplace death is caused by criminal negligence, you could face up to 25 years in jail, and fines up to $16.5 million. If you don’t take care of your employees at work, and make sure they can return home safe every day, we’ll make sure that you face the consequences.

Aged care clear of Covid

By Jed Lanyon and Romy Stephens Two Healesville aged care homes that recorded Covid-19 cases earlier this month have now successfully tested all residents and workers, with no further positive cases.

Both Aurrum Aged Care and Holmwood Aged Care were listed as having confirmed Covid-19 cases on 8 July.

Since then, 100 per cent of staff and residents have been tested at both sites, all returning negative results.

Holmwood Aged Care CEO Andrew Meek told Star Mail there was “no trace” of coronavirus at Holmwood following the tests of staff and residents.

“I am pleased to confirm that we have no further confirmed cases of Covid-19 with any of our residents or employees,” he said.

“A special thank you is warranted to the nurse who advised us as soon as she could of her positive test result. This enabled us to respond quickly and reduce the potential for possible further infections.”

Mr Meek said the Public Health Unit had reviewed the measures that Holmwood had in place and was complimentary about the controls that had been introduced since the start

of the pandemic in March.

Aurrum CEO Craig Rutherford said the Healesville aged care had been cleared by the Department of Health and Human Services to move out of lockdown on 18 July.

Mr Rutherford said the next stage for the

aged care would be active surveillance.

“This decision has been made by the Public Health Unit on the basis that all testing conducted for Covid has returned negative results and that we have not had any residents with respiratory illnesses at any time during the

precautionary lockdown period,” he said.

“Aurrum has assessed the need to reinstate Shelter in Place due to the increasing number of community acquired infections, we believe that this is the safest option at this time.

“Compassionate exemptions for end of life circumstances will continue to be reviewed on an individual basis including on a 24/7 basis.”

Mr Rutherford also said Aurrum team members and visitors were now required to wear face masks when entering aged care homes.

The relative of a resident at Aurrum Healesville, who did not want to be named, said they were very pleased with how quickly the aged care responded to the confirmed Covid-19 case.

The relative said their mum had been at the aged care facility for six years, and they felt Aurrum was “very safe.”

“Aurrum, I couldn’t fault them, I think they did everything they could,” the relative said.

“I was really impressed with how quickly they dealt with it, went into lockdown, got all the testing done and kept us up to date.

“I think that helps you process it and deal with it a lot better because you know what’s happening. Communication is the key with any relationship.”

Pokémon a Covid no-Go Two men playing Pokémon in Seville were among the list of Covid-19 related fines Victoria Police has issued over the past week.

Police said they intercepted two men in a vehicle parked in the carpark of a goods store in Seville on 13 July.

It’s alleged that when police asked the reason for them being out the men stated they were playing Pokémon which police said wasn’t a valid reason for being out.

Police said the men then changed their story but were unable to validate their claims and were then issued fines for breaching the Chief Health Officer directions.

Over the past 24 hours, police have issued

63 fines to individuals, with 21 of these fines issued at vehicle checkpoints.

Since Stage 3 restrictions were implemented on 8 July, police have issued 546 infringement notices and conducted over 100,000 checks. Other examples of fines issued recently included 10 people gathered for a party in Docklands and a man who refused to leave the dining area of a fast food store in Dandenong.

Police Minister Lisa Neville said it was concerning to see numerous fines being issued.

“There are examples of people deliberately flouting the rules and this is incredibly disappointing,” she said.

“We all need to work together to slow the spread of coronavirus and if you refuse to do that, you will face the consequences.”

Big Roast goes virtual

By Jed Lanyon The Bowness family’s annual ‘Big Roast’ fundraising lunch is set to go virtual with the help of Australian Survivor champion, Luke Toki and over 35 local businesses to help raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust (RCHCFRT).

Kristy and Stephen Bowness of Healesville were inspired to create the event when they

The Bowness family.

found out that their two children Liam (13) and Grace (12) were born with the incurable genetic condition.

The Bowness family stumbled upon the idea of ‘The Big Roast’ when Grace, who was four at the time said, ‘Sixty-five roasters’, mispronouncing the condition she shares with her brother.

The popular lunch, hosted by Rob Dolan Wines, will look a little different this year. Participants will enjoy a meal at home in solidarity with the immunocompromised community who will be in isolation until a COVID19 vaccine becomes available.

Rob Dolan explained why the Big Roast must go on.

“My wife Jude taught both children at primary school, and when we heard about their story, it was a no-brainer for us - we had to become involved. We’ve been hosting a lunch for three years running now at the winery, and didn’t want to let Covid-19 stop us - not when it’s made life even harder for those with CF, they need our support more than ever.”

“We’ve already seen locals and industry rally for the cause, with $2,475 worth of wine and spirits donated, the likes of Eastland donating a hot air balloon ride, and Warrandyte Community Bank Branch and Parkes Property signing on as corporate sponsors”, Mr Dolan said.

As well as hearing from Mr Toki, whose youngest child was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth, participants will get a glimpse into life with CF from the Bowness family, as well as their doctor, Professor Phil Robinson from the RCHCFRT. Ms Bowness said she finds it hard to articulate what this event means to her family.

“Ultimately this event contributes to the health and future of Liam and Grace and so many others out there living with CF, and for us, there is no greater gift”, she said.

“There is no limit to how many people can participate on the day and we’re excited to see Australians do what we do best, support one another through the good and the bad times,” Mr Dolan said.

This year’s Big Roast will take place on Sunday 26 July.

Don’t visit urges council Yarra Ranges Council is urging people planning a trip to its region during the lockdown period to reconsider their plans, in an effort to protect the health and wellbeing of local communities.

While Yarra Ranges has been included as a metropolitan council as part of the State Government’s recent lockdown orders, there are concerns that the restriction of travel for residents in Metropolitan Melbourne areas may result in an increase in visitation to popular recreation sites, including regional areas of the municipality.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Richard Higgins said while Council acknowledged the importance and appropriateness of the State Government’s lockdown actions, he was concerned about the entire municipality being considered a metropolitan area.

“While the rules and intention of restrictions is to stop the spread, the classification of all townships in Yarra Ranges as metropolitian Melbourne may be interpreted as supporting

visitation to the area by those in other parts of metropolitan Melbourne,” Cr Higgins said.

“Yarra Ranges is a destination Council, and while we would normally be encouraging people from other areas to come and experience the wonderful places our region has to offer, in the current environment we are urging people who do not live in Yarra Ranges to follow the lockdown requirements and stay at home.”

Cr Higgins said Council was also concerned more broadly around the classification which captured all townships in Yarra Ranges, including those which were more appropriately described as regional.

“While we do have a large urban population, the majority of our land mass covers regional areas, and our Covid-19 infection rates are very low compared with other parts of Metropolitan Melbourne,” he said.

Cr Higgins expressed grave concern for local businesses and the impact a metropolitan classification could have on their ability to stay afloat.

“The prolonged impact this is likely to have on mental health and wellbeing is significant, and we are seeking government assistance to provide much needed financial and psychological support for our communities.”

Cr Higgins encouraged the Yarra Ranges community to adhere to the lockdown restrictions currently in place to help slow the spread of Covid-19 infection over the coming weeks.

“Yarra Ranges is strong and vibrant community, and I’m sure everyone will be doing everything they can to play their part in stopping the spread of this virus.”

“Please remember there are only four reasons for you to leave your home: shopping for food and essential items, medical care and caregiving, exercise, and work or study if you can’t do it from home.

“If you do need to leave your house, please remember to take care of each other by practising good hygiene and physical distancing.

“I know we have a long six weeks ahead, but I’m confident we will all get through this.”

“We know many businesses had only just opened up again for table service, and had ordered plenty of food and other supplies to cater for advanced bookings that local people had made prior to this lockdown being announced,” he said.

“Council would welcome a conversation with the State Government in an effort to highlight the diverse mix of urban and regional areas within the Yarra ranges, and to illustrate the limitations of using local government areas as a tool to determine lockdown zones.

“We ask the State Government to use the statistics available on active cases and review its inclusion in stage 3 restrictions.”

Cr Higgins said the mental health and wellbeing of businesses and the community was a growing concern that was expected to amplify as a result of the lockdown period.

“Latest research is painting a grim picture for our local economy, with predictions of in excess of 6000 job losses and a 24 per cent fall in economic output,” he said.

The pause button is hit on highway road works

By Romy Stephens Road works along the Maroondah Highway have been put on hold for about three months due to cold and wet weather.

The State Government is currently upgrading the highway between Coldstream and Healesville, including adding turning lanes and lowering the speed limit.

Due to an absence of warm and dry weather, meaning the roads can’t set properly, a pause in work will take place from 20 June to September.

A State Government spokesperson said unexpected high rainfall was to blame for the pause.

“Major works to improve road safety along the Maroondah Highway between Coldstream and Healesville needed to be put on hold after unseasonably high levels of rain throughout the early months of the year impacted on the schedule,” the spokesperson said.

“The Department of Transport has undertaken a road safety audit - which is usual practice - to ensure the measures that are in place while works are paused meet road design and safety standards.

“We thank everyone for their patience and apologise for any inconvenience as we work to ensure a safer route along the Maroondah Highway.”

Temporary line markings to widen the lanes were completed earlier this month, enabling the speed limit to go up to 80 km/h on 10 July. This speed limit will remain in place while the works are on hold.

A 1.5km section of the highway near the Domaine Chandon Winery will have a 60 km/h speed limit to allow safe access to the winery during the suspension. According to the State Government, intersection upgrades

y

were almost complete with final sealing, line markings and installation of flexible safety barriers due to be undertaken when the weather improves.

Eildon MP Cindy McLeish said she had been contacted by numerous locals who vented their “disappointment and frustration” at the pause in works.

“The safety works have caused considerable angst in the local community. There was minimal consultation in the first place and now to be delayed half way through the project because of cold and wet conditions - as if this was a surprise for this time of year,” she said.

“Finally after much agitation line mark-

ings have been improved so it is less confusing for drivers.

“The speed limit is back to 80km/h except for one section where it drops to 60km/h.

This should have been done immediately once works were stopped. Locals have been booked due to the confusing signage and conditions.”

Yarra Ranges’ Ninja pack

By Romy Stephens The Yarra Ranges has proven itself to be quite the active shire, with three representatives in this year’s Australian Ninja Warrior coming from the region.

Healesville’s Daniel Mason will join Dee Thompson (Mt Evelyn) and Harry Cole (Monbulk) in the competition which airs later this month.

Daniel, also known as the Barefoot Ninja, is a well-known figure on the show, having finished second last year.

He is one of only 17 Ninjas to run in all four seasons and said he trained barefoot as it gave him better balance on the obstacles.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be on all four seasons now. The first one I just thought it seemed like a fun thing to do but I’ve been hooked ever since,” Daniel said.

“I train for it all year round and it’s a big part of my life now.

“The training and competing is really fun, it’s basically just a big kids playground...And you get to train with a whole lot of other people that think in the same way.”

Dee, a hairdresser from Mount Evelyn, said she got involved in the competition to inspire her three daughters.

“I wanted to show my girls that if you want to do something anything’s possible so put in the hard work and you can do it,” she said.

“I’m just grateful and happy that I got to have a go, it’s such a big process to even get on the show so I’m really proud of getting there.”

Harry said he decided to apply for the show after years of watching others compete. He said his regular job as an arborist would help give him an advantage.

“Watching it on TV, I always see it and think I could do that ... I saw the applications and thought I would love to give it a crack,” Harry said.

“Climbing pretty much everyday is part

A year of torment 365 Days Starring Anna-Maria Sieklucka and Michele Morrone Rated R18+

Subscribe to any of the

The Fifty Shades series received well-deserved criticism for glamourising emotional abuse, but 365 Days, in which Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) is kidnapped by Sicilian Mafia boss Massimo (Michele Morrone) and given one year to fall in love with him, is even more toxic.

Massimo is a cold, monstrous individual who repeatedly forces his will and body on Laura, and yet he is depicted as a suave hunk, and they inexplicably fall in love. This film celebrates vanity and aggression, relentlessly objectifies its female characters, and downplays the vital importance of consent.

On a more technical level, 365 Days has wooden performances and trite, terriblytranslated dialogue (the film is a Polish production, but performed mostly in English). The pacing is limp, and Laura’s heart condition, Massimo’s jealous former lover and the rival Mafia family either carry no

The cinematography is vibrant and the sex scenes are superficially steamy, but any eroticism is unearned, given the blatant coercion and emotional manipulation in Massimo and Laura’s relationship.

When Laura declares her love for Massimo toward the end of the film, like me you’ll probably shout a certain rude expression of outrage at the ceiling.

365 Days is a shallow, dull, poorly-acted and above all disgusting power fantasy. It’s available for streaming on Netflix, but this is extremely inadvisable.

Positive purpose

By Jed Lanyon

12443017-SG10-20

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.

If a fair assessment on the merits of solar power is to be made, one needs to have far more information than that given by Mr Marnock (Star Mail, 9 June).

For a start it would be helpful to know how many people live in his house, what his electricity bills were in the years prior to his solar panels being installed, what appliances run on electricity or gas and how he heats his house in winter.

We installed a solar system about 12 years ago when the feed in tariff was 60 cents a KWH, so we have done well out of it. Our house was entirely electric at the time - no gas available.

I am constantly in touch with family members, and others, who have since installed solar and now with the feed in tariff about 11 cents a KWH most question if their investment is worthwhile.

In addition, one has to consider the carbon footprint created in mining the materials for, and in the manufacture of the various components required for the system and also the energy required to recycle the panels and batteries at the end of their life.

Without the huge Government (Taxpayer) subsidies I believe it is not a viable proposition.

Licence checks in Healesville

By Romy Stephens Police attended Coles in Healesville on14 July to conduct licence checks and ensure only locals were shopping during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Healesville police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said the checks were done to help protect the local community and control the pandemic.

“We’re providing a proactive visible police presence in our high density community areas, supermarkets being one of these areas,” he said.

“We want the public to feel safe during these uncertain times.

“We are ensuring that members of the public are complying with the current Covid-19 restrictions that are in force.”

It is understood only a couple of people that came from the western suburbs were sent away and no fines were issued.

Sgt Thomson said as long as people were abiding by the Stage 3 restrictions, they would have nothing to worry about.

“You don’t need to carry ID to Coles, that’s not what it’s about. It’s about ensuring that you’re complying with the current Covid restrictions and that you’re minimising your travel to essential travel only,” he said.

“It’s not a case where you have to carry your licence at all times, it’s just a case that if you are not from the area then expect to be questioned as to why you’re here.

“If you’re local and you need to travel for one of the four reasons then you have nothing to worry about.”

Council calls for stimulus lifeline

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges Council is urging the Federal Government to extend its JobSeeker and JobKeeper programs past September, amidst growing concerns for the longer term social and economic impacts of COVID-19 on local communities.

A statement from Yarra Ranges Council said, “Whilst we welcome the Federal Government’s recent $2.5 billion announcement around investment in the JobTrainer stimulus program, and see the benefits for our community, particularly our young people, we still believe a tailored approach to JobKeeper and JobSeeker is required.”

Recent predictions of a -14 per cent contraction in the Yarra Ranges economy and concerns about future employment opportunities for young people were painting a grim picture, particularly given the second phase of Stage 3 lockdowns currently being experienced by the Melbourne metropolitan area and Mitchell Shire.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Richard Higgins said Council feared a devastating financial and social crisis for Yarra Ranges and other municipalities for the foreseeable future if the current economic stimulus measures did not continue.

“There’s no doubt the Federal Government’s stimulus packages including JobKeeper and JobSeeker have helped many businesses stay afloat and keep their staff employed, while also providing a lifeline to many other people who have found themselves unemployed as a result of the pandemic,” Cr Higgins said.

“In the grip of a second wave of the pandemic, and the subsequent six-week lockdown period we are currently experiencing it is going to be very difficult for many businesses and people to recover from this if the current financial stimulus packages do not continue.”

Branded Burgers and Bar owner Gina Braidner said she would like to see JobKeeper extended and evolve to fit the changing needs of businesses.

“This time around has been so much harder than the first time around. If JobKeeper were to end under this current climate, it would probably tip us under.

Ms Braidner explained that since the pandemic began, her labour costs have gone up due to losing JobKeeper eligible staff, replaced by employees who did not qualify for the scheme.

“I think it’s great, but this second time around, having lost some staff who were on (JobKeeper), it’s a lot tougher.”

Cr Higgins said Council had recently undertaken a number of studies and outreach activities to gain a better understanding of the short and long-term impacts of both Covid-19 and the associated lockdown restrictions.

“Some of the key findings of this work are startling, particularly the expected -14 per cent contraction in Yarra Ranges’ economy, and a forecast 20.5 per cent decrease in Yarra Ranges’ Gross Regional product, which equates to a loss of around $1.35 billion,” he said.

“Covid-19 is having a crippling effect on many industries especially those in tourism.

While typically we would welcome around 6.6

million visitors each year to the Yarra Ranges, we are not likely to see those numbers again for some time to come.”

Cr Higgins said Council also had significant concerns around future employment opportunities for the 17.6 per cent of young adults aged 15-24 currently engaged in the Yarra Ranges workforce.

“We recently undertook a survey of young adults that identified 49 per cent of respondents had lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19.”

“This information was collected before this second phase of Stage 3 lockdown restrictions.

Those results are likely to be much worse when we run that survey again later this year.”

“Council has been contacted by many people in our community needing support, ranging from business owners struggling to stay afloat, to people who, although once thriving, have suddenly found themselves in a vulnerable position.

“Increases in mental health issues, homelessness, family violence incidents, substance abuse and social isolation are a very sad but real predicament for our region.

“We urge the Federal Government to extend its JobSeeker and JobKeeper programs,” he said.

“To end those programs in September would be putting off the inevitable - to extend them would provide millions of people with greater certainty, hope and optimism during what has become an extraordinarily challenging time.”

Regional tourism funds help Thousands of accommodation providers across regional Victoria can now access funding to cover the cost of lost refunds during the coronavirus pandemic.

Applications for the State Government’s $40 million Regional Tourism Support Program opened on 13 July.

Eligible accommodation operators can claim up to $225 per night, for up to five nights, for every room cancelled due to the return of Stage 3 restrictions in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, provided the booking is refunded in full.

The Regional Tourism Support Program applies to regional accommodation providers receiving cancellations of bookings for the six weeks from the introduction of Stage 3 restrictions.

The funding is available to accommodation providers in the 11 Regional Tourism Board areas - involving 48 rural and regional councils plus numerous interface councils in the Yarra Ranges and Mornington Peninsula tourism regions.

“We know that our regional accommodation providers are doing it tough at a time when tourists would normally be making bookings that’s why we’re stepping in to provide much needed, immediate support,” Eastern Victoria MP Harriet Shing said.

“This is a critical opportunity for regional accommodation providers to recoup some of their losses - this fund is open now and we’re encouraging those affected to get in early.”

The fund is capped at $40 million and applications close at the end of Stage 3 restrictions.

Fly project proves fruitful

By Romy Stephens Strengthened efforts to keep the Yarra Valley free from the notorious Queensland Fruit Fly (QFF) have proven successful over the past five years.

Following the introduction of the State Government’s Managing Fruit Fly Action Plan in 2015, including a regional plan for the Yarra Valley, numerous interventions have been used to prevent the QFF’s spread locally.

Such interventions included the development of an area-wide surveillance grid for early detection, an educational unit for children, workshops for the public and emergency response assistance.

With the State Government recently announcing a further $1.72 million in funding for the final year of the plan, local fruit growers and QFF prevention coordinators have now turned their attention to what steps come next.

The Yarra Valley Fruit Fly regional coordinator, Bronwyn Koll, said it was vital that work towards keeping the Yarra Valley fruit fly free continued for years to come.

“I will be raising the profile of this invasive pest in the Yarra Valley. We want residents to firstly prevent it arriving here,” she said.

“We need residents to report anything suspicious, because we have proven that early detection and early response activities work in keeping the Yarra Valley fruit fly free. Being prepared is the best position we can be in.”

The QFF is a horticultural pest that lays its eggs in fruit and vegetables. The damaged produce rots inside while the eggs mature into larvae, making the product inedible and not suitable for selling.

The Yarra Valley is regarded as fruit fly free with only very few detections in the region.

But considering it is an important horticultural growing area, extensive efforts have been made to make sure it remained in the clear.

The State Government has allocated over $178,000 to Agribusiness Yarra Valley for the final year of the QFF management plan.

Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes said industry and regional groups would be involved in reviewing the future strategic direction of fruit fly management in the state.

“Biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility, and it’s been fantastic to see the work of groups in Sunraysia, the Goulburn Murray Valley and the Yarra Valley step up to manage Queensland fruit fly,” Ms Symes said.

“We know everyone working together is the most effective way to reduce the impact of Queensland fruit fly on our local produce, home gardens and Victoria’s horticulture industry.”

Ms Koll said that despite the Yarra Valley having few detections, a constant understanding of the fruit fly’s position in the area was needed to ensure effective management into the future.

“The Yarra Valley QFF project team will continue the work with the fruit industry, and the Local, State and National governments

Yarra Valley QFF Taskforce chairperson Adam Upton and Bronwyn Koll check new automated fruit fly traps.

“This funding extension from the State Government is only good for one more year.

“As well as delivering our on the ground

QFF-infested fruit. activities, we will also need to use the year to revisit how these essential activities are funded in future years.

“We will need to establish how to have contributions from everyone as we all bene-

fit, directly and indirectly by keeping the Yarra Valley fruit fly free.”

The winter of discontent When we experience dark wet days, long cold nights, on top of Covid-19, we can easily say; “That is enough to depress anyone”.

However, not long after being released from our first lockdown, there are those of us who live in certain postcodes, who are locked down again with the old restrictions. At least we can console ourselves with the thought, ‘well we did it before - we can do it again’. Can we?

For some Victorians who were, or still are locked down, in those high rise towers, many of whom have poor English and have come from war-torn zones, old fears are breeding news fears. I heard a spokesperson for them pleading to know what they had done wrong to be treated like this.

So how will we handle these dark times again, without falling for indulging in food, footy, movies and alcohol etc? These form some of the distractions I have written about in previous articles.

I suggest this time that we might look at this winter of discontent as a time for reflection and a time to do, or think of something differ-

ent and constructive.

You may well ask “what is there to look forward to?” and say “every time I set a goal or a date, the rug gets pulled out from under my plans”.

A lack of hope is a key in this questioning.

Hope represents something that is out front that we can work towards.

In light of the fear of the rug being pulled out again, I suggest we try setting smaller, realistic, or interim goals. Any of which may give us a little pleasure and a sense of achievement.

In terms of hope, you might be familiar with

Helen Steiner Rice’s poem This Too Will Pass.

The trouble is that with our western world mindset, we often have difficulty with waiting, silence, and sitting in what we can’t seem to fix - otherwise called ‘the mess’ or ‘un-resolve’.

I wonder if we could light up a positive path, with achieving some of those smaller goals, before we attempt to think a little deeper about bigger issues.

However, talking about bigger issues and ‘dreaming’ can be a helpful distraction in itself, and constructive.

As a counsellor, I often asked clients to answer the three big life questions: Who am I? Who are these people around me? And, where are we going?

The last one was interesting. “No”, I would say “I’m not talking about going to Bali for Christmas, but rather, where am I going in my life?”

Where are my partner and I going in our relationship?

a good time to explore these questions, with a partner if you have one, or just think about the first question if you are by yourself.

If you have a goal to build a small veggie garden for instance, that could throw light on our path.

God’s way/nature has a rhythm and a plan, with one season following another. Without autumn shedding leaves of former glory, new growth in spring can’t come.

Winter of course is a time of fallow - a time of rest - a time of preparation. Maybe then we might see the winter of discontent in a different light.

And finally, last and not least, a major weapon in our arsenal can be prayer.

Recently it was interesting to hear the Salvation Army’s Brendan Nottle’s answer to Neil Mitchel’s question on 3AW. “What do you intended to do that is most important to you during Covid -19, 2.0?

His answer was, “I am going to devote part of each day to fasting and praying”.

Festival a Victorian first

Fifty years ago this year, Launching Place was to lay claim to Victoria’s first ever music festival. This was only the second music festival to be held in Australia.

The festival was to be the starting point of large venue music shows for Victoria, after the success of the New South Wales Ourimbah’s Pilgrimage of Pop a few months earlier.

On the Easter long weekend of the 28-30 March 1970, camp fires dotted Coonara, a farm property, 8km north of Launching Place, on the Don Road as 1500 pop fans settled down Friday night for a weekend in sleeping bags, tents and cars. They were the beginning of an expected crowd of about 20,000 for the weekend.

On arrival patrons were directed to another farm’s paddock on the other side of the road for parking at a cost of one dollar. A slippery walk of 15 minutes took you to a caravan where six dollars gained you entry.

Launching Place Miracle was the promotional title for the event, which was to feature up to 20 music artists performing a wide variety of music.

Saturday morning the rains came and let up very little for the day. Chain, with Wendy Saddington, played an extended set between heavy showers, as did The Adderley Smith Blues Band. On the tickets Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Doug Parkinson, Max Merritt and the Meteors, and Spectrum were just some of the listed performers.

On Saturday evening the insistent crowd listened to more music and drank beer and settled down to a night of wind and rain. On Sunday morning the whole festival site was a quagmire of mud and wet people. The event was cancelled at 10am.

The people still left at the site were given free tickets to a special pop concert which the promoters said they would arrange. This turned out to be Launching Place Festival No 2, to be held on 31 December 1970 (New Years Eve), at the same venue.

The exodus from Launching Place was hampered by the fact that cars were parked in a nearby paddock and becoming one big bog hole slid to a tangled mess at the bottom of the hill. The assistance of some local tractor owners was greatly appreciated.

Launching Place’s The Miracle music festival poster.

In the time between the two events, the upcoming Australian band Spectrum penned Launching Place Part I, and Launching Place Part II to help promote the December festival.

Launching Place Part I was an instrumental, while Launching Place Part II had lyrics that were to be a satirical look at music festivals in general.

In the week before the event, the rains returned to Launching Place for a repeat performance, so the event was transferred to St Kilda and to be held in a tent borrowed from Ashton’s Circus.

When the St Kilda Council heard of this, it warned the organisers that it would call the police. Permission had been given to Ashtons to run only a circus and a special permit would be needed for a pop concert. The promoters withdrew and the event was not held.

Thus the Miracle festival was abandoned to become a distant memory by a select few.

Yarra Ranges Council has implemented a development contributions plan for the Chirnside Park Activity Centre to ensure that required community infrastructure is provided to meet the future needs of the activity centre.

A development contributions plan specifies the type of infrastructure to be provided, shows the calculation and apportionment of costs, and allows Council to collect development contribution levies. These levies are then used to provide the community infrastructure projects identified in the development contributions plan.

In accordance with the provisions detailed in the development contributions plan and Section 45.06 of the Yarra Ranges Planning Scheme, Council is required to publish indexed development contribution charges after 1 July each year.

These new indexed charges are detailed below and reflect development contributions applicable between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2021.

Sport grants kick goals Wandin Football and Netball Club and Coldstream’s Heathergene Calisthenics have benefited from the State Government’s $40 million community sport package.

The Government’s Community Sport Sector Covid-19 Survival Package will see both clubs receive grants of $1000 to help them support players and volunteers.

Heathergene Calisthenics has been operating for 21 years as a not-for-profit club dedicated to the development of calisthenics, a unique Australian artistic sport. Calisthenics is a team-based sport that involves a combination of dance, singing, ballet, apparatus and gymnastics.

Wandin Football and Netball Club announced in May that they would not be participating in the AFL Outer East’s senior football and netball divisions prior to the league’s announcement that the season would be scrapped.

The club sighted the significant hurdles being the health and wellbeing of players and staff, a strain placed on volunteers as well as the lack of infrastructure at their home ground due to construction upgrades taking place to their pavilion throughout the season.

The $1 million Federal Government project will see new change rooms for male and fe-

male players as well as being fully compliant with Australian disability standards for accessibility.

The idea of the 2020 season being pushed back later into the year did not favour the club as their oval is set to be redeveloped in August.

With the recent significant increase in coronavirus cases in Melbourne, and active cases in many regional communities, Victorians have been hit hard by restrictions and sport and active recreation clubs and associations are no exception.

Victoria’s Chief Health Officer has determined that Melbourne and Mitchell Shire resi-

Unusable stock donated to charity

By Romy Stephens The Lilydale and Yarra Valley Netball Association (LYVNA) has donated boxes of canteen stock to a local food bank after having to cancel its winter netball season.

After the second round of Covid-19 lockdowns in Melbourne prevented the commencement of community sport, the LYVNA was forced to cancel its season which was due to start this weekend.

Association president Simon Grimes said there was a huge amount of canteen stock that could not be used or sold due to it being close to its best before date.

Mr Grimes said that despite the loss of stock impacting the association financially, it was good to see it go to The Mustard Tree food bank in Lilydale.

“It’s definitely disappointing, there’s a lot of stock and a huge amount of money lost,” he said.

“It helps a little to know that it hasn’t been completely wasted but it’s still a disappointing thing to do, to watch all that stock not get used for what it was for.

“It’s a small positive out of what’s been a disaster year as far as netball.”

dents cannot participate in community sport competition, and in regional Victoria training must remain non-contact for adult competitions.

The Victorian Government said they will continue to work with the sport and recreation sector to explore recovery options and help clubs return to play when it is safe to do so.

Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said, “Heathergene Calisthenics and the Wandin Football Netball Club are an integral part of our community and this support will help them pay the bills and make an eventual return to play that little bit easier.”

Fine skies allow for a pleasant round

By Karl Hradsky

The Lilydale and Yarra Valley Netball Association was forced to cancel its winter season due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The LYVNA has donated large quantities of unusable canteen stock to a local food bank.

The association initially delayed its season in March before Covid-19 restrictions began to ease, allowing for a planned start date of 25 July.

However, with the Covid-19 crisis continuing in Victoria and more lockdowns introduced, the association has now cancelled the winter season.

Mr Grimes said if there was an opportunity to play some kind of competition at the end of the year it would be considered.

He said the association was also seeking financial support following the challenging year.

“We are applying for a grant application to get some support for the lost revenue and income this year but it won’t cover anything near what we’ve lost in revenue,” Mr Grimes said.

To keep up with the latest news from LYVNA, visit http://lyvna.vic.netball.com.au/, or follow the association on Facebook.

The weather, having improved somewhat over the past week, managed to dry out the fairways at Healesville Social Golf Club on Sunday.

So walking - as carts are now banned - was more pleasant. The greens were very fast, keeping the scoring down.

Laurie Tormey (14) was the winner this week scoring 34 stableford points.

Second was Tom Handasyde (28) with 32 points and third went to Peter Mathieson (10) with 29.

Nearest the pins were two each to Travis Carroll and Laurie Tormey.

The skins on the first hole was won by Ken Arnott, hitting the only par on that hole. Ken also won the secret holes competition. mailcommunity.com.au

BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE

12455203-FA32-20

Ring Terry Miller direct for the the best best prices prices

It’s time to catch it, order and build your concrete tank NOW!!!

Ph. 0419 462 814 Concrete tanks built correctly will last a life time!

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

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

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

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

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