Thank you so very much.

The Community of Yarragon have done it again!

By Dee Wheller, Lisa Harvey & Bec It was a really proud moment announcing that our community had raised $21,884.10 for the 2017 Good Friday Appeal. This brings our total raised (in 3 years) for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal to $43,129.25. Imagine what that kind of money does for the Children’s Hospital. It could go towards a lifesaving piece of equipment or help towards much needed research and our wonderful community will help that happen with these funds. Fundraising events were held throughout the year with an Auction held in August and a Thermomix Raffle which was held just before Christmas. Funds were also raised through our recent Monster Raffle Night hosted by Chris & Renee Kemp at the Yarragon Hotel, collection tins in local businesses, door knocking by some of our wonderful community members and an Easter Treasure Hunt enjoyed by 65 children at the Market St Park. (All Easter Eggs were kindly donated by local businesses and again, the generosity of our community)

A few others jumped on board too to help with the fundraising; De’Koda Hair & Beauty held a raffle which raised $890 Café’ Piccolo donated $1.00 for every drink made on Good Friday and raised $379 The Yarragon Lions Club held a raffle and raised $500 The Yarragon Craft & Produce Market

donated $1000 IGA Trafalgar had a visit from a tin shaking Easter

Bunny raising $1155 You & Mia Fitness Trafalgar donated the mornings

takings and donated $255 As a thank you, businesses were thanked and

promoted through our Facebook and Instagram page as well as on the night of the Monster Raffle. We would like to thank everyone who got involved this year whether through selling or buying raffle tickets, donating and door knocking. You’re all wonderful.

It doesn’t stop for us now that the Appeal is all done. We have already began discussing ideas as to how we will raise funds for the 2018 Appeal. We would love for you or your business to become involved. We need your help fundraising ideas for

the next 12 months.

Please get in contact with us through our Facebook Page. (Community of Yarragon Good Friday Appeal) We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Considerations for the old Yarragon Primary School Site

At the meeting of the Yarragon and District Community Association on April 19th, there was much discussion about the future of the Yarragon Primary School’s old site.

There have been various groups meeting to discuss this topic and there are various people working on ideas.

The site is being prepared for sale and will go to auction.

The Victorian Government has now published the advertisement below so that members of the community may have input into the zoning of the site.

Therefore the Yarragon and District Community Association is calling an extraordinary meeting for all members of the community to voice ideas and put in a recommendation from the general community’s viewpoint of how the land should be zoned.

Yarragon Craft and Produce Market Saturday April 22nd 2017

By Marcus Padley

It was great to be able to source some Hope Farm Bread for our April ‘ANZAC Day’ market, with Ian willingly taking on the extra items to sell. The bread sold out early, and so we are expanding the order for next month, and will aim to build up sales each month of the delicious locally baked sourdough bread. The range of sourdough and other baked goods included the 2 types of Casalinga, Vollkorn, Spicy Fruit, Farmers Rye, plus the very popular Date Scones. We’ll have more of all of these freshly baked breads next market. If there is another type of bread they bake that you think would sell well, please let Ian know, and we’ll aim to stock it the following month. Unfortunately, our new veggie guy Paul, called us on Friday afternoon feeling very sick and apologetic that he wouldn’t be able to make the market. These things do happen occasionally, and although the fresh vegetable stand (and free range eggs) was sorely missed, he’ll be back next month to make up for it. Paul and family pick their vegetables the day before a market, so they are about as fresh as you can get! With Mother’s Day approaching, many of the jewellery, arts and craft stalls had a great day. There are some amazing locally made items up for sale at each of our markets, with a gift for any occasion! We look forward to seeing you at our next market on Saturday May 27th.

YARRAGON LIONS CLUB

By Pat McPhie

Thanks to the people who have left

their no longer used eye glasses in our boxes around

Yarragon. Remember to keep your postage stamps for us

so we can help children who have difficulty in walking.

Thanks for coming along to our Fashion Parade at the

Yarragon Bowls Club on 22nd. April. Hope you all

enjoyed yourselves, meeting up with other friends on the

day.

Thanks to our Lions Guys and Gals for participating in

the Parade and many thanks to the people who came

along to help us with catering, floral decorations, ticket

sales and extra fashion models. A big thank you to

Shirley Gibson for setting up this day for us by

persuading a Yarragon Shop, Shoe a Licious, to provide

their garments for the parade. We thank Shoe a Licious

for helping us to raise more funds for our community.

I missed the first half of the Fashion Parade as I travelled

to the Longwarry Lions Club to help sponsor two of our

Yarragon students be presented with their “Children of

Courage” awards. Georgia McDonald-Flegg and Lachlan

McWhinney, Grade 5 students, were presented with a

medallion, a framed certificate and a Lions bear to

encourage them to continue with their good efforts at

school. The event was held in the Longwarry Public Hall

so the games set up for the children to enjoy were

weather proof.

After a party lunch, the children from our Lions Zone

Clubs were awarded with the 3 items to help them

remember this special day. “Children of Courage” was

new to our Club but now that we understand more about

it, we can look forward to helping inspire children to do

the best they can with next year‟s presentation.

Developing resilient children I think we all want our children and grandchildren to become thoughtful, caring and resilient, able to „bounce back‟ from difficulties. Teaching children to become relsilient enables them to grow up feeling secure in themselves. They learn to take action, make positive life choices and do positive things for other people too. They can think critically about the world surrounding them and express their thoughts and feelings in caring ways. Very importantly, they learn that they are not the centre of the universe, but that they do matter as much as others. As a teacher, in my ministry and in my work in the community I have watched many children develop and my experience tells me different children often need to be supported in slightly different ways. Sometimes we think it‟s kinder to protect children from the pain of failing but avoiding dealing with failure can make them feel helpless and angry at themselves later on. Everyone knows that we can learn from our mistakes but dealing with failure is easier said than done! The key is learning to deal with it in a healthy way. We can model so our children learn that being compassionate to themselves and realistic about what is needed to fix a problem will help them grow. Kids who learn to turn failure from a „reason to quit‟ to an „opportunity to grow‟, realise they can overcome setbacks and achieve things on their own. We need to coach our kids so that their resilience skills grow.

REFLECTIONS By Rev Sue Jacka

THE FOZIDOGGIES By Lisa Barden

Jessica is a well deserving retiree. Part of her reward for a lifetime of hard work on the farm is her regular visits to Fozigobble cafe. She receives lots of kisses and hugs as she is a very sweet and much loved VIP member of our Fozidog family.

On the morning of Sunday 9th April we had a sudden downpour of really heavy rain. My crazy sister, who was visiting from Queensland had gone for a run, up Hazeldean Road, along Murray Road, down Loch Street and along Rodier Road back to our place. I couldn't even go and look for her when the cloudburst happened, not knowing which way she was headed. A lovely lady in a white car stopped and offered her a lift. My sister declined (she said she couldn't get in and saturate the car!) but she has asked me to say Thank you to whoever this very kind person was. So Thank you, Good Samaritan. Your gesture was very much appreciated. Judy Potter


Gearing up for Yarragon Book Fair By Gill Cooper The 2017 Yarragon Book Fair promises to be a real page-turner for book lovers everywhere. This annual fund-raiser on 8-9 July helps Yarragon and Darnum-Ellinbank Fire Brigade volunteers to purchase vital equipment and vehicles to better serve their local communities. Yarragon Fire Brigade Secretary Geoff Conway said Brigade volunteers have been working hard in recent months gathering and sorting a huge stockpile of books to suit every reader. “We‟re really gearing up now. Donations by local residents as well as charity groups from right across Eastern Victoria are helping to ensure amazing quality at a fraction of „new' book prices. Paperbacks are $1, hard covers $2.50 and children's books are $5 for a bag or box. “This is the 14th year of the Yarragon Book Fair and we‟ve got a seriously good collection of fresh titles for this year stacking up in storage for our winter sale,” he said. “However there‟s always room for good quality books, particularly the ever popular children‟s books which sell like hotcakes, if people have extras they wish to contribute now.” Mr Conway said all book donors and the regular crowds of visitors to Yarragon who attend and supported the Book Fair with purchases and donations were greatly appreciated.

“This fund-raiser has been a massive contributor to our brigades and the success of local volunteer fire-fighters in protecting life and properties across the region,” he said. “Our CFA volunteer fire-fighters train and build their knowledge week-in week-out to allow them to safely respond to bushfire, building structure fires and road rescue incidents. Brigade members and other locals also commit to fund-raising activities to improve the equipment and support to fire-fighters. This includes communications equipment and training room gear, office refurbishments, uniform items and vehicles.” “During the past seven years both brigades have run the Book Fair together, they‟ve raised a total of around $100,000. We‟ve been averaging about $18,000 in recent years, peaking at $22,000 in 2014. “This year we are hoping to fund improvements in fire-fighting equipment and training aids. So we are seeking support from people coming from far and wide to help make our 2017 Yarragon Book Fair the biggest and best ever,” Mr Conway said. “We urge everyone to mark the weekend of 8-9 July on their calendars for a trip to Yarragon, make sure they catch this fun event at Yarragon Community Hall, and help spread the word.” “With all new stock at great prices, they can grab a bargain for every member of the family with paperbacks and hard covers of every genre on sale across the weekend.

Doors open on Saturday 8 July at 9am and the fair will run across the weekend until 4pm on Sunday 9 July 2017. The Yarragon Public Hall is in Campbell Street, 50 metres from the Princess Highway and an easy stroll to the shops, cafes and galleries in Yarragon Village, just past Warragul. For more information or to donate books to the CFA Yarragon Book Fair, please call Michael O‟Toole on 0438 342 670, Geoff Conway on 0418 318 900 or email [email protected]

Local volunteers at Yarragon and Darnum-Ellinbank Fire Brigades are busy gearing up and sorting books being donated for the coming 2017 Yarragon Book Fair on 8-9 July.

The steam engine that is doing this trip is A2 986, which was one of 185 similar designed engines built by the Victorian Railways from 1907 to 1921.A2 986 was built in 1915 at the Newport workshops and worked passenger trains throughout the state until finally being withdrawn in December 1963. She was bought by the Warragul Rotary Club and placed on display at Warragul in 1971. Steamrail recognised the historical importance this engine contributed to the people of Victoria and so negotiated the swapping of the engine in 1986. A2 986 was taken back to the steamrail workshop at Newport (where she had been built) . Restoration started in 1996 and over 20 years she was completely dismantled and rebuilt to what you see today.

Volunteering showcased at Farm

World

This year the Baw Baw Volunteer Managers network promoted

a stand at Farm World, with support from Baw Baw Shire

Council.

In the lead-up to National Volunteer Week in May, visitors had

the chance to come along to the stand and find out about great

volunteering opportunities in local communities.

Volunteering Victoria is supporting volunteer managers in Baw

Baw to in turn support regional volunteers in their work.

Through the Baw Baw Volunteer Managers network,

Volunteering Victoria facilitates communication and

collaboration between volunteer-involving organisations (VIOs)

in the region.

The Baw Baw Volunteer Managers network has over sixty

member organisations. These organisations manage many

hundreds of volunteers, who perform work which is diverse,

valuable and sometimes surprising.

Rosemary Joiner from Volunteering Victoria said ―From

hospitals and aged care homes, to neighbourhood houses,

shire councils and community groups, volunteers are

performing all sorts of roles which add immeasurable value to

our communities. Celebrating National Volunteer Week is a

great way to recognise that amazing work.‖

Farm World ran between Thursday 30th March and Sunday

2nd April at Lardner Park. In that time, the network’s stand

received hundreds of visitors. It was a great opportunity to

showcase the organisations and their volunteering

opportunities, and to promote and celebrate volunteering in our

local communities.

To find out more about volunteering in your community, visit

www.volunteeringvictoria.org.au or call (03) 8327 8500.

During the cooler months many markets close down but the Trafalgar Arts Market, a new venture held by the Baw Baw Arts Alliance, is going to continue through the winter in the Trafalgar Public Hall, Contingent Street. Run on the 1st Saturday of each month, the next Trafalgar Arts Market is Saturday, May 6th from 9 am to 1 pm. The market is not only the place to purchase some wonderful local artwork but also a venue where you can enjoy live musical performances at no cost to you. From 9.30am onwards a number of musical artists perform for an hour each. At the May market there will be entertainment from Aria Clark, a vocalist, Maddie Rose Husyman, singer and songwriter and Mollimor, a high energy Celtic band. Mollimor have been active in Gippsland for a couple of decades, evolving from a group of friends getting together for a social event, originally known as the Molly Maguires, to the current line-up who have been together over a decade, producing a rich and varied sound. The band’s repertoire ranges from traditional to contemporary music from all parts of the Celtic world. For further information see contact Wendy Hitchins on 0407 710 180 or [email protected] A second new venture of the Baw Baw Arts Alliance is the free artist’s demonstration on the last Sunday of the month at the Station Gallery, Yarragon, between 1pm and 3pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to see an artist at work, ask questions about their work, tools and techniques. Local painter and printer, Bob Hickman, recently demonstrated the age-old method of woodblock engraving and printing. On the last Sunday of May, textile artist, Marlene Ogden, will demonstrate her felting skills. A third new venture for the Baw Baw Arts Alliance is a joint exhibition with the Warragul Camera Club at the Warragul Railway Station ‘Tea Rooms’. The exhibition is timed to coincide with the arrival of the steam train, Spirit of Warragul, on Saturday, May 13. This exciting exhibition of photography and paintings is from May 10 to 18. On Sunday, May 21, the Warragul Camera Club will open its 44th National Photographic Exhibition at the Warragul Downtowner at 2.00pm. This exhibition links with the Spirit of Warragul steam train because it has a category of photos devoted to the subject of trains. Expect a wonderful range of expertly taken

photos in a number of other categories from photographers around Australia, displayed from May 19 to 22. To find out more go to www.warragulnational.org May is a busy one for many in the Gippsland art world when a programme of workshops and exhibitions during Creative Gippsland takes place. Workshops at the Artspaces, Trafalgar Railway Station in Encaustic: wax on board, metal etching (conducted by Kay Lancahire), a wonderful Kids Play Date and Memory Mosaics are just some of the offerings from the Baw Baw Arts Alliance. Colour My World is to be an exhibition of members’ work at the Station Gallery, Yarragon, as part of Creative Gippsland. To find out more go to

Yarragon Fire Brigade

Take care with burn-offs!

It‟s already been a busy autumn for Yarragon Fire Brigade members with several incidents and unattended burn-offs on private property causing significant concern to firefighters. Burning Off restrictions were recently lifted in the Baw Baw Shire but we urge local residents not to become complacent about the local fire risk now that summer danger period is officially over. All property owners planning to burn across autumn or winter are reminded fuel moisture conditions can vary greatly across the area, so the dangers of grassfire and bushfire are still very much with us. Consider the build up of fuel loads on your land – including grass, leaf litter and branches and how you plan to manage the potential risk of your burn-off getting away. Even after rain, it only requires a couple of decent drying days to increase the bushfire risk again. There remains serious potential for a planned burn-off or large heaps on your land to spread, send embers across a fenceline and start other fires that can quickly get out of control. So do keep a close eye on weather and wind conditions and notify fire authorities when you intend to burn-off at your property.

All burn-offs must be registered. This helps

prevent unnecessary callouts for volunteer fire-

fighters, as well as concern for your neighbours!

All it takes is a quick call to 1800 668 511 and

your details are put into the system. You can find

out more about how to prepare here:http://

www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/burning-off/

Always consider the worst case scenario and how

fire behaves – running rapidly up nearby hillsides

and threatening life and property, including

haystacks, shedding or your own home and family.

If you are unsure of how best to manage your

planned burn-off, please seek local advice first.

Heeding the call

Our brigade volunteers have attended a total of 16 callouts to various incidents reported during April so far. These mainly involve out of control burn-offs, grassfire and smoke alarm callouts as well as supporting other emergency services in response to motor vehicle accidents. Continued next page

http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/burning-off/

http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/burning-off/


(Yarragon Fire Brigade continued) The types of incidents local volunteers attended in recent weeks included a gas leak at a home in Thomas Weston Court, Yarragon, grass and scrub fire at Roberts Road, as well as support for Trafalgar and Darnum-Ellinbank crews.

Besides responding to regular fire and rescue callouts, our brigade volunteers also make a significant commitment to more than 3000 training hours each year. Currently two courses are running concurrently at the station on Monday nights – wildfire minimum skills training for new recruits and the more advanced structural fire-fighting training course. Minimum skills is a basic requirement for all volunteers and includes practical elements such as building familiarity with all fire-fighting equipment and our tankers, handling fire hoses and branches (nozzles), practising emergency burn-over drills, learning about bushfire behaviour basic safety procedures, developing skills and building a strong sense of teamwork working within different crews. The more advanced structural fire-fighting training is a CFA course being run at Yarragon and also offered to Trafalgar Fire Brigade crew members. Training together helps all volunteers when working closely together on the ground responding to building fires. Key elements of this course include fire behaviour in building structures and the increased dangers these fires present fire-fighters. Volunteers are learning about flashovers, backdraughts, combustion, flammability and fuels, fire gas explosions, signs of structural failure, observing/assessing fire conditions and choosing fire suppression tactics. Both courses demand a strong level of commitment by all our volunteers to gain the prerequisite knowledge and skills to deploy to fire and rescue incidents and help others. The CFA always need more dedicated volunteers to

assist in local communities, so if anyone would like

to join the Yarragon Fire Brigade, please contact

Secretary Geoff Conway on 0418 318 900.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT IN

YARRAGON

How great is this for an example of the benefits of living in a small country town? On Good Friday, as I drove past the Yarragon Post Office (LPO) I noticed the two proprietors, Mary and Mark, who were supposed to be on a well earned break, walking in and out of the Post Office with bundles in their arms. I called out and said "I thought you were on holiday". The response was: "Wait - there's a parcel for you". Some parcels had obviously arrived late on the Thursday, past closing time. These two wonderful people were concerned that some parcels may have been Easter gifts, and they were preparing to drive around and deliver them, just to make sure no one missed out on Easter presents. How's that for community spirit? Sadly, it is lacking in so many places nowadays. Now I hope Mary and Mark are having a wonderful relaxing time before returning to work next week. Judy Potter
