COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER No. 366 FEBRUARY 2020

A very enjoyable morning was had by all at the Yarragon Australia day celebrations, organized by the Yarragon and District Community Association.

With the Lions Club cooking delicious egg and bacon sandwiches, juice, yoghurt and tea and coffee available, a satisfying breakfast was provided.

Music by Dan and Grace was much appreciated.

Councilor Michael Leaney represented the Baw Baw Shire.

Margaret Young conducted the ceremony with President of YDCA, Roy Lindsay saying a few words, followed by Ashley Smith from the local Yarragon Fire Brigade.

Members from the fire brigade conducted the flag raising ceremony and later entertained the children with activities using the fire truck. The children were also able to take part in thong throwing and have an Australian “tattoo” applied if desired.

Thank you to all who organized the event and to all who attended.

By Marcus Hanley January 25th. A glorious morning greeted us for the Australia Day long weekend,

and we were expecting a busy crowd with plenty of traffic on the road heading away for the weekend. After the excitement of the Twilight market back in mid December (seems like ages ago!), we had more stalls than usual to help maintain some momentum heading into the new year. We ended up with nearly a full allotment of stalls, plus another 10 or so stalls inside the public hall. We also had a great local musician come along at the last minute to ply his trade at busking, and it was a great atmosphere under the trees with the background sounds of his guitar strumming a recent tune or a hit from the past. Our food staples were back in demand, with all the Hope Farm bread selling out, plus only a couple dozen free range eggs remaining. We had a new stall with Mandy and Dee raising money for the Good Friday Appeal by selling their handmade bags. They’ve been busy sewing

up a storm, and their commitment to raising money for the Royal Children’s Hospital is amazing. Many of you would already know of their efforts, and they are hoping to top their fundraising total from 2019 of over $26,000! Every little bit counts and they added to this year’s total at the market. Let’s help them beat that total! Our next market is on Saturday Feb 22

nd, and

we’ll be back out on the lawn and also at the hall. We’re taking advantage of the warm weather while we can. See you there!

Tuesday 25th February

Uniting Church Hall 10am - 12noon

Cost - $10

All profits will go to Swifts Creek Frontier Services for drought and fire relief in East Gippsland. Come along and enjoy a pan-

cake or two and stay for a cuppa and a chat. Everyone welcome.

Mahoneys Road

This road was named after John Patrick Mahony. (I

am not sure why the different spelling)

From The Dawning has this account:

“John Patrick Mahony was a leading figure in the emerging Yarragon District from 1895, when he first became a Narracan Shire Councillor for the West

Riding, until his death in 1923. Serving several terms as a representative for his Riding, he held the office of Shire President on three occasions - 1898, 1907

and 1916.

Prior to entering Council he helped his parents, James and Ann Mahony, run the Waterloo Hotel that then stood on the corner of the Princes Highway and

Campbell Steet, Yarragon. His father and mother, who died in 1893 and 1911 respectively, are buried in the Yarragon Cemetery.

John Patrick had one brother, Denis, who was a State

school teacher at Bendoc and later at Yulungah (north of Trafalgar); and a sister, Kathleen, who taught at Traralgon prior to resigning from the

Education Department and joining the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion at Sale. In later life Kathleen was well respected in the Warragul area as Mother Evangelist

at Our Lady of Sion convent.

In 1905 John Patrick married Julia Ann Arter and they later raised a family of six sons and two daughters. They lived for most of their married life

on their 250 acre dairy farm :Carrington”, situated three kilometres from Yarragon, beside Allambee Road. John Patrick also bred horses on his property,

many of which were sold to the British army as Indian Remounts. John Patrick Mahony was a thick-set man with a moustache and bald head and he was about 5 feet 10 inches tall. His family recollect him

dressed in suit, vest and boots, setting off to attend council meetings in his well kept buggy with gleaming harness and fine horse. On the way he

would discuss with any persons he met the important issues of the day, such as the use of road metal, the plans to improve swamp drainage and the

establishment of creameries. Little Wonder he was an acknowledge leader of the district.”

It appears that John Patrick Mahony did not live on Mahoneys Road but the Shire have named the road in

recognition of the contribution he mad to the Yarragon Community.

If anyone has further information on this story I would be very pleased to receive it.

Jen Lowe.

Hall Happenings You may have noticed some action at the hall lately. We have started on a safety upgrade, after having a compliance audit undertaken. With the help of a $5000- grant from the Baw Baw Shire Council we have made the following improve-ments to our hall to make it a safer space for the community.

Extra fire extinguishers Safety glass fitted to doors and windows around doors, and low windows. Emergency lighting to the stage and back stage rooms. Improved the downpipes near the men's toilet in an attempt to stop the leaking.

We are also awaiting the fitting of new fire retardant stage curtains. The Committee of Management would like to thank the Baw Baw Shire Council for providing us with the Minor Equipment Purchase Grant which has allowed us to proceed with the upgrade. We hope the community enjoy the improvements and continue to make use of our local hall. Lynette Vaughan Yarragon Public Hall Committee

The Victorian State Government and Energy company, Ovida, have shown their commitment to supporting local jobs, by employing locals, Gordon Hollands and Anthea Merson, to deliver the Solar Partnering Around Regional Communities program, SPARC Gippsland. Each of them brings a wealth of knowledge and networking from the area. The $15M initiative will support local businesses in saving money and gaining access to solar power, by funding solar power systems for commercial properties across Baw Baw, Latrobe, and Wellington Shires. SPARC is delivered in partnership with Allume Energy, Australian Energy Foundation (AEF), and RMIT University. Businesses in multi-tenanted buildings traditionally face the biggest hurdles to accessing solar energy, due to the barriers of installing on a shared roof space or not being the property owners. Participation in the SPARC Program removes these barriers, by facilitating installations and ensuring all parties are well informed and seeing benefits. The funding means that businesses can access cheaper electricity and save on their energy bills, at no upfront cost. Tenants can opt-in or opt-out of the program at any time, ensuring that participation is optional and beneficial. The fully funded solar power systems are available to the first 75 property owners that sign up. If you have financial interest in a commercial site or sites locally, contact

Anthea to find out how SPARC can benefit you and your tenants. Anthea will help you calculate estimated savings, as well navigate the technical requirements to get a system installed. Anthea.Merson@aef.com.au 0431 060 714 solar.ovida.com.au/sparc

Traralgon’s Gordon Hollonds and Newborough's Anthea Merson are working to drive down operating costs for local businesses.

The Inverloch Jazz Festival Fri. 6th – Monday 9th March The Inverloch Jazz Festival continues to thrive. For this year’s Festival two new music venues have been added to ca-ter for increased patronage and to provide even more choice for those who love their jazz. You can expect to hear the traditional jazz music of the 1920s and 1930s, the ‘Trad Jazz’, but there will also be mainstream jazz from the 1940s and 1950s, the ‘swing’ generated by the big bands of that era. Look out also for contemporary jazz that includes a wide range of jazz styles and sub-genres typically from the 1960s onwards. It can be characterised as more ‘free-style’ and less constrained by the stylistic rules of previous eras. And for those music enthusiasts whose passion is blues music, there will be plenty to interest you too. Tickets for the Festival are available online (invyjazz.com) and will also be available for purchase at the Ticketing Desk in the Community Hub for the duration of the Festival. The evening tickets are a new addition for 2020. Full weekend badge: $99, Friday Night Only: $35, A Saturday or Sunday day pass: $50, Saturday or Sunday Evening tickets (only available at the Ticketing Desk from 5pm each day): $25 The Festival commences with the Friday night Gala Concert featuring Gippsland’s only Cuban Big Band, the Boolar-ra Social Club. They are sure to get everyone up and dancing. Boolarra Social Club brings together members of world-class salsa and rumba bands to play Cuban/Latin music styles. They have played to sell-out shows in international ven-ues, country halls and national festivals. The infectious, vibrant, high octane music includes styles such as sultry bole-ros, upbeat mambos, salsa, Afro Cuban rumbas, traditional son, danzon and guajiras. Also featured on the Friday Night program is Inverloch’s own Streeton Court Big Band which plays the old classics to the more modern Buble numbers. Tickets $35 at the Ticketing Desk in the Community Hub.

President’s Report Roy Lindsay

A belated Happy New Year to everyone, but I’ll leave it to others to debate whether it is the start of a new decade or not ! On a more sombre note, our condolences and thoughts go out to long-time member Michael Fozard whose wife Ruth passed away suddenly in January. We start the ‘new YDCA year’ with our first meeting to be held at 7.00 p.m. on Tuesday February 11th at the Yarragon CFA Station. This first meeting is being held a week earlier than planned to allow us to discuss the latest application by Jasbe/BP to build a service station and truck stop at the site adjoining Hazeldean Road. All will be aware that their first attempt was rejected by Council and that decision was confirmed by VCAT. Revised initial plans are available for inspection at Council’s Drouin Offices and the meeting will discuss YDCA’s approach to this application. It is likely a vote (for Members only) will be taken

to establish YDCA’s next move in that regard. Backtracking slightly – the Wine, Cheese and Bowling night held just before Christmas was a success and contributed more than $800 towards costs incurred in retaining the former Primary School site for Community Use. Yarragon Lions very generously contributed a further $500 to the same cause – many thanks to Yarragon Lions. Thanks to all who helped organise, and those who attended – including Councillors Leaney and Power. Although YDCA has been ‘on holiday’ since end December, discussions have continued with Council in regard to tree replacement and improved parking. We have some ideas planned for 2020 but need more

Community involvement, so please join and/or become more involved in the future of your town.

Update on East Gippsland Bushfires While all seems quiet here in West Gippsland not the same can be said in East Gippsland and the North East. Conditions on the fire ground have become more favorable for fighting fires recently and good work has been done by all agencies in containing the worst of the outbreaks. The State’s resources are still being mustered to prevent further outbreaks when weather in the area becomes dangerous for fire. Many of our members in the CFA Baw Baw group have signaled their willingness to volunteer for multiple day strike teams and Yarragon Fire Brigade is no exception. Deployments are generally at short notice and from one to five days duration, with crews being flown or driven to staging areas in the region, then onto specific tasks in vehicles seconded from other towns in the State. This is a big commitment by both crews and their families whose lives still go on picking up the load without complaint. The communities both in the fires and those away from it all appreciate the effort and sacrifice to help and is probably why their generosity has been so forthcoming in fundraising and assisting where they can. Yarragon Fire Brigade would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks for your support and contributions. Although the grass on our patch is green, it will burn under the hot Summer conditions and is drying out all the time. We are still a long way from the end of the season and we need to be vigilant and report smoke in the area. DO NOT hesitate to ring to 000 to report smoke. Fire crews can only respond to the 000 emergency system. A rapid response is the key to keeping fires small with early extinguishment. Stay aware There are multiple resources available to the community to monitor the conditions. Some are as simple as going outside for a look and to smell the air.

Listen to your local radio and ABC Radio emergency broadcasts Download the weather app on BOM to see forecast, warnings and watch radar storm movements The Vic Emergency App, will show all emergency events in your area to help you identify events already

reported. Lightningmaps.org will show in real time where lightning strikes hit the landscape in your vicinity and

could prompt investigation. We can use these and other sources to stay aware of events around us and facilitate early reporting and quick response by emergency services. Stay Safe and Be Alert and our thanks again for your support. Yarragon Fire Brigade

Australia Day has a somewhat ambiguous character. We are grateful for the beauty and abundance of our land. We look around the natural beauty of our land- and we know deep in our hearts that we have some of the absolutely most stunning places in the world. We have local farmers who have made two or even three

cuts from their crops this season. A number of famers I have spoken to say they do not need all this hay so they are sending loads to farmers whose crops have failed through drought or fire. And we see the trucks loaded with hay heading eastwards. I love this generosity! The Aussie values like mateship and giving people a fair go have been so formative in our national character. We are privileged to be part of this nation which contributes to the health, welfare, peace and security of the world’s peoples. But we also remember the dispossession of our indigenous peoples, the mistreatment of minorities and the divisions in our society. This is not the plan that God has for people! St Paul talks about the need to overcome divisions in 1 Corinthians 1. Paul urges us to agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. If each one of us made a conscious effort to bridge the divisions in our spheres of influence, what a difference there would be!

Free green waste drop offs from January to March To help our community prepare and maintain their properties over the fire season, Baw Baw Shire Council is offering free green waste drop-offs from 18 January to 31 March 2020.

Following the success of the free green waste drop of days back in October last year, the offer is being extended once again to all residents – both home owners and tenants – this time for a much longer time period at all Council-operated transfer stations in Lardner, Neerim South, Trafalgar and Erica.

This new initiative is part of Council's commitment to community safety and bushfire season preparedness.

This offer is of particular importance to those living on larger or rural properties with excess growth and vegetation around their homes - over and above what can be disposed of in the regular fortnightly kerbside green waste bin collections.

Free offer conditions

• Each household is eligible to drop off up to three cubic metres of acceptable green waste free of charge.

• To cater for different trailer sizes, residents can either drop off three cubic metres at once, or smaller volumes over multiple drop offs.

• Green waste over three cubic metres will be charged at the normal rate.

• Bookings are not required, simply visit the transfer station during open hours and present proof of residency (such as driver’s license or rates notice).

• Green waste must be delivered in residential vehicles and trailers (commercial vehicles will be charged at the standard rate).

Green waste must be separated from other waste or it will be charged at the standard rate. Trafalgar Transfer Station is open Saturday, Sunday and Monday, 10 am to 4 pm.

COME AND JOIN US WHEN: Tuesdays 9:30am-11am [during school terms] WHERE: 25 Contin-gent St, Trafalgar St Marys Trafalgar Anglican Church WHAT: It is for young children, their parents and caregivers to join together for a fun interactive music session, then enjoy morning tea in a relaxed setting WHO: Pre-schoolers and their parents/caregivers COST: $5 per family/session Starting Date: Tuesday 4th Feb 2020 For more info contact: Josh 0458 327 915 joshy53hot-mail.com Sue 0409 757 170 trafalgarangli-can1@gmail.com

Detox your home of dangerous chemicals this February Baw Baw Shire residents are urged to dispose of highly toxic house-hold chemicals at the upcoming free and easy ‘Detox your home’ day.

‘Detox your home’ is a safe, free and easy-to-use service run by Sus-tainability Victoria to provide communities with a free, easy and safe place to dispose of common, highly toxic household chemicals.

This is a great opportunity to get rid of unwanted – and potentially dangerous – items like pesticides, detergents and weed killers.

Upcoming ‘Detox your home’ details

When: 9.00am to 2.00pm on Saturday 22 February Where: Latrobe City Council Corporate Headquarters, 141 Commer-cial Road, Morwell

It is not safe to throw chemical products out with regular rubbish collections as there are a number of dangers associated with this approach – the products could explode, ignite, leak or mix with oth-er chemicals.

They shouldn’t be poured down the drain either – they pollute our waterways, harm animals and vegetation, contaminate drinking wa-ter supply and make rivers and beaches unsafe for swimming. For more information of what is and is not accepted visit: www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/detoxyourhome

Get bushfire prepared with another water source

Gippsland Water is reminding the community not to rely solely on town water supply systems during an emergency this bushfire season. “Our system is designed to meet everyday drinking water needs,” managing director Sarah Cumming said. “While we have several back-up measures in place, supplies can be threatened if the system is placed under extreme load.” Ms Cumming said during a bushfire event a number of factors can put strain on a town’s water supply. “If every resident in a street is filling buckets or running hoses at the same time, this can lead to low water pressure. “CFA tankers may also need to tap into our supply to fight a fire, which can reduce the pressure of the water to the point that supply to customers may be interrupted. “That’s why we’re urging our customers to include another source of water in their fire plan.” If residents are planning to stay and defend their property the CFA recommends having at least 10,000 litres of water available as a separate water source at minimum. “While we urge customers to be prepared, we encourage all community members to follow the advice of the CFA, which is that it is safest to leave early,” Ms Cumming concluded.

Holiday program The annual kids’ holiday program was very successful in Yarragon again this year. Held on January 21st and 22nd, there were plenty of games, painting, water activities and different crafts to keep the younger members of the community happily en-gaged while a number local volunteers were pleased to be able to share their time and skills with a younger generation. Story time is always an important part of these

events. This year we heard about how children matter to Jesus who welcomed them rather than expect-ing them to be quiet! We also talked about storms in our lives and how we can deal with them. Jaffas after school program will con-tinue with similar activities again this year. We meet each Tuesday at St Mark’s in Loch Street during school term from 3.30-5.30pm. Afternoon tea is provided and registration forms are available from trafalgaranglican1@gmail.com or you can sign up on the day. All leaders have their WWC and the team has other necessary qualifications. A gold coin donation helps to cover the costs.
