Coming out of ‘Lockdown’

As the Corona Virus restrictions gradually ease, it is helpful to prepare ourselves inwardly for the coming changes. We are warned that we cannot just snap back to the world as we once knew it. We have already experienced some relief as we are now allowed to visit friends and have small group gatherings. But for many, this is also accompanied by fear for themselves and their loved ones. The fear of a second wave of COVID 19 is both healthy (let’s not become cavalier about risks) and yet debilitating for some people. It is wise to be cautious in an informed way; the clusters of the travelling public are once again visiting the streets of Yarragon, especially on the weekends. Groups are more evident since they cannot linger in cafes. Some locals have told me that they are avoiding the shops on weekends. Being sure that we prepare mentally and spiritually is helpful. Facts like it’s less likely to catch COVID19 by simply passing by groups of outdoor shoppers help alleviate fear. On a spiritual/emotional level, recognising that fear is a normal, helpful human response can overcome low level anxiety. A positive, caring attitude helps both ourselves and others. Giving that sunny smile or a cheery ‘Hello’ will brighten someone else’s day, as well as lifting our own spirits. Choosing a flexible attitude helps us adapt to the constant changes which are likely in the near future. God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change; Courage to change the things you can; And wisdom to know the difference.

REFLECTIONS By Rev Sue Jacka

JUNE 2020 Yarragon Community Newsletter- Page 3

President’s Report Roy Lindsay

While carrying out research on the proposed Service Station in Yarragon, a very interesting case came to light which fills us with confidence - In May 2019 a Planning application was made to Pyrenees Council for a ‘Highway Service Centre’ on 4.2 acres of a 71 acre site in a Farming Zone near Beaufort on the Western Highway between Ararat and Ballarat. The application included a ‘service station’ and 2 fast food outlets, one of which had a drive-through facility. Sound familiar so far ? Pyrenees Councillors rejected the application on several grounds, including

“..does not comply with Cl 5.07 Farming Zone” “does not support State Planning Policy objectives and strategies relating to the protection of valued

open rural landscapes, land use and amenity “not supported by local policy objectives and strategies” “…it will not improve the landscape qualities….” “incompatibility between the proposed development and the use of the surrounding land” “The non-agricultural use will cause a permanent loss of agricultural land”

The applicant then amended the plans by deleting the 2 fast food outlets, replacing them with “a café facility with indoor and outdoor seating and the sale of convenience goods” (also sounding familiar) and took the matter to VCAT. In January of this year, after only a 1 day hearing, VCAT upheld Council’s decision and no permit was granted. The reason for the applicant amending the proposal by removing the 2 fast food outlets is not known, but the timing suggests the applicant may have realised the VCAT decision WE in Yarragon & Baw Baw Shire Council achieved in July 2019 would be used as a precedent and their initial proposal would have no chance of success. To learn the amended proposal – almost identical to the proposal now in front of Baw Baw Shire Council - was also rejected by VCAT fills me with confidence that should the Yarragon proposal again go to VCAT, Baw Baw Shire and the majority of the Yarragon Community will WIN, and within 1 day and at considerably less cost than on the previous occasion. We appreciate BBSC incurred significant costs at our last VCAT appearance, as did the Yarragon Community who raised many thousands of dollars to fund our technical representation, but one last push and we’ll be successful again. At time of writing, the level of support - by way of objections to the proposed Service Station - is excellent, despite restrictions caused by Covid-19 restrictions and the lack of tourists. By the time the issue reaches the Council Meeting (date TBA) we will be well-represented with a sound case for Councillors’ consideration. Other matters currently ‘on the boil’, and under discussion with Council are – Short-term and long-term planning of the former Primary School site Completion of the Yarragon Walking Track (Southern end of Loch Street) Possible funding for the proposed ‘Yarragon, Past Present & Future’ expo Parking Tree replacement With restrictions being lifted gradually, it is hoped we may be able to hold our Monthly meeting, as usual in June or July. Members will be notified in due course.

In remembering some of the old stalwarts of Yarragon who have passed away in recent years, we now honour one of Yarragon’s most remarkable and inspiring

women – Irene Knight. Irene passed away on 5 March 2019 at the age of 93. Born and raised in Nilma, she rode her bicycle to attend Warragul High School and worked at different jobs in Warragul, learning many skills, before moving to Yarragon on marrying local Lawrie Knight in 1944. For the next 70+ years she devoted herself to the community as well as raising 3 children and running a 10 acre farmlet at the end of Loch Street with her husband who because of polio as a child used a stick to help him walk and later a wheelchair but he is well remembered for getting around town in a ride-on mower. Irene was involved in just about every organisation in Yarragon and served on some

20 clubs -

The Blind Auxiliary, Bowling Club, Cemetery Trust, Cricket Club, Uniting Church Guild, Anglican Church Guild,

Football Club, Hall Committee, Infant Welfare Centre, Marching Girls, Red Cross, Seniors Club, State School

Mothers Club, Tennis Club, Youth Group and the Lions Club.....and that was just in Yarragon! She was not just a

member but usually held executive positions.

She also contributed to and was part of the Trafalgar Probus Club, Warragul Seniors Club, Trafalgar Seniors Club and

the Nilma Hall Committee.

Irene’s contributions have included holding an annual garden party and produce stall each year for 20 years to

raise funds for the Yarragon Blind Auxiliary. In 1957 when the Yarragon Marching Girls was established she was a

driver and chaperone for the girls, taking them to marching parades all over Melbourne and Gippsland.

She was a great cook and donated large amounts of cooking over the years. With others in the Church Guilds, her cooking and organisational skills helped raise funds over many, many decades by catering for the many weddings, dinners, funerals, balls and other community functions held in the town. She specialised in sponges, apple & rhubarb pies and jams for ALL the street stalls in Yarragon for decades and this was done on a wood stove in the early years, testing the temperature simply by feeling the oven heat with her hand. In the 50s, 60s & 70s there were street stalls every Saturday and one midweek too. She ran the Football Club canteen for decades and the Yarragon Football Club made Irene a life member in recognition of her unstinting service and cooking to raise funds for many decades from 1962. One is staggered by her energy, enthusiasm and hard work. She milked cows, worked their farm, helped her

husband sort the scrap metal he collected to supplement the family income, did housekeeping for other families,

worked at the Thursday Warragul Market selling fruit & vegetables for decades, and Moore’s Chook Farm for 10

years and somehow found time to sew fancywork and dress making. She could turn her hand to just about anything

mechanical and would often help Lawrie fix vehicles.

Irene always had a commonsense approach to life with a can-do attitude. Fair and honest she was never

backward in coming forward and definitely let people know where she stood on matters but she was always there to

help others and was a 2nd mum to many others in their time of need.

In 1999 Irene was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for services rendered by the Yarragon Lions

Club. In 2001 she was awarded Citizen of the Year on Australia Day by the Baw Baw Shire.

Despite some health setbacks which included by-pass operations in both legs and shingles she continued undaunted and well into her 70s she was still picking up the other ladies to take them to play cards at Nilma. In 2003 at the age of 78 she had her right leg amputated due to vascular problems. This did not stop her or slow her down. She was back driving after 3 months having had the pedals converted and was still serving on 7 local committees and clubs. When not out and about she knitted and crocheted numerous rugs sent to Alice Springs among other places, to help those in need. What a woman! Such a full life and so inspirational and selfless giving and doing for others. She is survived by her daughter Elaine, sons Graham and Leslie, 9 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, all of whom she cherished and knitted or crocheted a rug for and who all dearly loved her.

Thank you Tini Cook and Elaine Knight for this article.

The Yarragon Bowling Club Board is excited to announce that they have secured a funding grant from the Latrobe Valley Authority to upgrade our Clubrooms at our Shady Creek Road facility. We are also financially supported by Trafalgar and District Bendigo Bank to complete the project.Our immediate past President, Rus-sell Weekley, was instrumental in securing these grants with the assistance of Phil Drummond of Trafalgar and District Bendigo Bank. The project is expected to be a benefit to the broader Yarragon Community allow-ing Clubs and individuals to hire our upgraded and updated rooms and enjoy the very best lawn bowls green in West Gippsland.

Due to COVID-19 we are yet to hold our Annual General Meeting, however the Club has managed to elect a new Board (via email and postal voting) to see this project through. The new Board Executive comprising President Kevin McLaren, Vice President Kevin Arnold, Treasurer Ross McDermott and Secretary Richard Polmear has been meeting with the designer and the builder to finalise the design and cost. If all goes to plan, we hope to shortly announce the decision to proceed. The new Board would like to acknowledge all of the hard work of Russell Weekley and the previous Board to ensure a wonderful facility that can be enjoyed by our local community.

Community engagement extended for Warragul Parking Study Community consultation for the Warragul Parking Study has been extended to Wednesday 10 June to accommodate three redesigned online-only community workshops and allow more time for the community to have their say.

The original consultation period was set to take place from 27 February to 30 April and involve four face-to-face community workshops at the Warragul Goods Shed.

Given the current COVID-19 social distancing requirements, Council has extended the consultation period and moved the community workshops to an online-only format.

Online workshops

Three online community workshops will now be held:

Workshop 1: Monday 1 June from 6.30 – 8.00pm

Workshop 2: Tuesday 2 June from 3.30 – 5.00pm

Workshop 3: Monday 8 June from 6.30 – 8.00pm

These online workshops are open to all community members and will be a great platform to openly discuss the key options up for consideration regarding parking in the Warragul CBD. There will be plenty of time for questions and a chance to provide feedback too.

Registrations are essential and can be made online via the Eventbrite website (links above).

The workshops are being held to complement the 22-questions survey currently open to all residents. The survey and community workshops form the first stage of the five-stage consultation process.

Have your say

For full details about the Warragul Parking Study or to provide your feedback via the online/print-copy survey, please visit www.bawbawshire.vic.gov.au/WarragulParkingStudy

This consultation opportunity has been extended until Wednesday 10 June 2020.

Next steps

Following the consultation period, Council Officers will consolidate all feedback collected. An update will be provided to the community on the outcomes.

To ensure fair and adequate representation of various community views and input, an independent panel will also be recruited. The panel will comprise of a representative cross section of the community and assist to provide recommendations to Council about parking in Warragul. Registration for the panel will be open in early June. Following appointment, Council officers will work with the panel to deliberate recommendations for parking in Warragul, including a potential funding model.

A final recommendation will be presented to Council for decision at a Council meeting to be held in September 2020.

Have your say on draft Weed Management Strategy The purpose of this strategy is to describe the vision, goals and priorities for the management of weeds within Baw Baw Shire from 2020 to 2025.

The primary focus of the draft strategy is goal setting for collaborative action on weed control in bushland reserves and rural roadsides. The draft strategy adopts a biosecurity approach, which employs risk management principles to determine appropriate weed management actions.

The threats and associated costs of weed invasion are numerous, with impacts seen in natural landscapes, agricultural land, waterways and urban environments. The Australian Weeds Strategy 2017-27 recognises that the extent, persistence and impacts of weeds presents an on-going challenge that requires a continual and coordinated response.

The draft strategy adopts a risk assessment approach to weed management, where actions are prioritised based on the ecological values of a site and the risk that weeds pose to those values. This approach is used by several municipal Councils and varies from past approaches that were typically species-based.

Key themes within the draft strategy focus on preventing new weeds arising, while strategically allocating resources to mitigate those that already exist. The themes also recognise the need to work in a collaborative manner and the significance of community involvement in managing weeds throughout the landscape.

Have your say

Feedback is now being sought from land managers, service delivery agencies and community members involved in, or interested in, the management of weeds.

Full details including a link to the feedback survey are now available at www.bawbawshire.vic.gov.au/HaveYourSay

This consultation opportunity is open until 5.00pm on Friday 26 June 2020.

Following the consultation period, Council Officers will consolidate feedback and consider all submissions to assist in making further recommendations to Council. The strategy sits under the Environmental Sustainability Strategy 2018-22 and aligns with the objectives of the Council Plan.

Incidents in the Early Days of Yarragon By George Murray 1932

George Murray wrote many articles for papers around 1932 outlining incidents as he re-called them from the early days of settlement. These two seem quite appropriate to be

repeated this year.

Getting Rid of the Big Fires

Most of the residents of West Gippsland now (because the system is still in use, though on a much smaller scale than formerly) that the burn being over, and should the scrub be entirely consumed by the fire which often occurred on the hills, but seldom on the flats) that the sowing of the grass seed was next in order. Following that a site for hut or a house had to be found. It was impossible to grub an area large enough to avoid the danger of a tree falling on the house proposed to be built.

In one instance near Yarragon a contract for this purpose was let at $25 per acre. After working for a considerable time the contractors threw up the job as unpayable. The logs that they had cut up into lengths were rolled into Camp Creek and lay there from 1878 till 1898, when they were burnt in the great fire which took place in the latter Year. But few of us were able to afford so expensive a means of making our houses safe. The smaller ones, from three to five in diameter, were cut down by axemen on the ground but those 12 to 15 feet in diameter (as springers were not in use) had to have a rough sort of a platform built up against them. I have seen a tree cut down in this way. A platform on each side of the tree and two men on each platform —two right hand axemen and two left hand. It took the four men a day to cut the tree down.

A tree that size was uncommon, but there were some of greater diameter. Came across one when we were with the surveyors, who were running the line on the Southern boundary of my block. The chain was put round it by the men. It just met 66 feet in circumference, 22 feet in diameter, at about four feet from the ground.

It looked as though a beautiful forest had been sacrificed to grow a few acres of grass, but especially on the flats a great number of these trees were in an advanced state of decay. The Bungaree splitters liked to see the white ants in them – “The little wood men” they called them, The white ants were a sign the tree had reached maturity, and was ready for the splitter. and there were very few that weren’t attacked by white ants.

[I have no doubt that it was necessary to make some law in reference to the careless lighting of fires, but to deprive the farmer of West Gippsland of so useful an aid is absurd, says the writer. To say that a fire is not to be lit till after the 31st of March is to say, in most years, no fire is to be lit at all. Take this year, for instance; if one wanted to burn cut scrub on the flats one would have to pour kerosene over it.]

The Burn

In my last contribution I described how the selector of the early days dealt with the timber and the scrub which covered the land he had selected. When cut down it covered the surface to a depth of from four to ten feet. It was usually cut during the winter months and burnt on a favourable in February.

There was no law then making it a criminal offence to light scrub and the system adopted was this: the selector whose scrub was ready to burn, let the surrounding neighbours know that he would light it on a certain day, they all collected on the scene of the fire and each one was allotted a certain area to watch and so expert did they become that the fire on nearly every occasion was confined to cut scrub.

After the law made it criminal to light a fire, the scrub burnt, but no one but the person who lit it knew who it was. If the fire did its work and did no harm that person became a public benefactor, if damage was done, he became an undetected criminal. The law making it criminal to burn scrub added enormously to the cost of clearing the land. After that law was made, scrub was cut but no one knew when it was to be lit, the whole atmosphere was one of distrust and danger. It was to the advantage of everyone that it should be cut and burnt; yet it was criminal to light it.

Yarragon Fire Brigade Silence Is Deadly Where there is smoke there is fire. Now that the summer fire season has well and truly passed, we need to focus on the approaching winter season and the risks that come with trying to keep warm. As the saying goes “where there is smoke there is fire” which is why smoke detectors are so important in preparing our homes for the risk of fire. This month we will focus on fire prevention in the home with emphasis on Smoke Alarms. A few chilling statistics from CFA responses There have been over 17,000 residential fires in the last ten years. 4250 of these started in the bedrooms 3910 started in living areas 2550 started in kitchens 400 people where either killed or seriously injured These figures do not include the MFB area of Melbourne ONLY WORKING SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES While it is law that all new constructions from 1997 must have 240v mains hard wired smoke alarms with battery backup, there are a lot of homes built prior, that have only battery-operated alarms. It is imperative that we regularly check the batteries and replace where necessary. Whilst hard wired alarms generally do not require maintenance, they still have a backup battery that will need to be checked. A simple monthly check to test the viability of our alarm’s battery can be done by pushing the test button with a broom handle. If the battery is working, it should give off a loud high-pitched screech. In some conditions when the battery is getting low the alarm may give off a periodical beep which signals time for battery replacement. Lithium batteries can also be installed and should last ten years, whilst 9-volt batteries should be replaced annually. In any case ALL smoke detectors should be replaced very ten years regardless of type.

The national building code requires that we have an alarm in the living room and outside bedrooms. Studies carried out by fire agencies and research organizations in Australia show that we should have more interconnected alarms in our houses. The CFA now recommends that smoke alarms be installed in all bedrooms and all living rooms and that they are all interconnected. Stand-alone alarms and hard-wired alarms sound if smoke is detected in the area it is installed only. Occupants in more remote rooms may not hear the alarm if asleep or otherwise distracted by music, tv, computers etc. Interconnected alarms will all sound once smoke has been detected in any location. Fire in a confined space or room can take hold very quickly and early detection is critical to saving lives. Research has shown that an average sized room can be fully engulfed in five to eight minutes and a fire of this nature cannot be extinguished with a garden hose or home fire extinguisher. A common assumption is that the occupants will have time to discover and extinguish the fire before it gets hold. Houses are filled with flammable materials, many of which contain synthetic components (eg nylon) including, floor coverings, drapes, furniture etc. and, once alight, give off toxic gases and create explosive mixtures that fuel the fire. Smoke and fumes can quickly spread to other parts of the house and overcome sleeping persons without awakening them. Even with protective equipment like breathing apparatus and fire-resistant clothing these are formidable environments that are very hot, toxic and dark…definitely not a place be. So, your fire plan should be to evacuate the building and call 000 immediately. This is why WORKING SMOKE ALARMS are so important. For your own safety check your alarm today. Stay safe, stay alert Yarragon Fire Brigade
