By Marcus Hanley 24 November, 2018

With the State Election Day held the same day as the market, we were shuffled down Campbell Street to a new location on the grass of Waterloo Park, alongside the highway and service road. And it wasn‟t the best start for us with a very wet week with some needed rain, and a wet and cold morning to kickstart proceedings. We were just hoping the stallholders would turn up, let alone any customers!

But the stallholders arrived in anticipation, then the rain started to ease off… and the customers/voters slowly came out… and it ended up being a fantastic market! We had so many positive comments from shop owners, stallholders and customers about how good the market looked on the grass, and how many passers by didn‟t know there was even a market in Yarragon.

So what to do now? Well at this stage we‟ve agreed we want to host the December twilight market (December 14th from 4pm) on the grass as we feel this would attract a much bigger crowd. We could then hold it on the grass for the warmer months up until late April, then the cooler months head back to the Public Hall. So we‟re waiting to get confirmation from Baw Baw Council that this can go ahead and

we‟ll finalise planning for the coming twilight market and beyond. The January market would be on the Australia Day long weekend, so having it on the grass again would make sense as the town and passing traffic should be very busy.

So keep an eye out for our market signs and flyers around town over the coming weeks about our twilight market on Friday December 14th. It was a great festival atmosphere last year and again we‟ll have live music, free bouncy castle, appearance by Santa, face painting and great stalls with last minute Christmas specials.

Hope you can all make it and see us on the

grass! (STCA… )

RODIER ROAD

Daniel Palliet Rodier Daniel Rodier was born in Exeter, Devon, England on 23 March 1823 to James Palliet Rodier and Maria Cox.

He arrived in Hobart aboard the ―Mandarin‖ in June 1845, which was carrying 210 males. Daniel did two voyages on the whaler ―Nimrod‖ early in 1846. He then went to South Australia, landing in Port Adelaide in August, 1846. He made his way to Kapunda, the site of Australia’s first mine, which was mining copper. Copper was mined in Devon and Cornwall. During his time there he married Ellen Adams, also born in England, in Adelaide in July 1847. They, like many others, lived in a dug-out in the banks of a river. While there, three babies were born.

From 1853 the family slowly made their way towards the Ballarat area with babies born in several places along the way. They finally arrived in Ballarat in 1868. Their last three children were registered as being born in Ballarat. Of their thirteen children, only seven lived to adulthood. They were two daughters and five sons.

Two of Daniel’s brothers also arrived in Ballarat during this time. William (the elder) became the town mayor and Rodier Street near the Eureka Museum is named after him. His younger brother, John, was a prospector and railway carriage builder.

West Gippsland was opening up with the coming of the railway line. Daniel and Ellen, with their tree youngest sons and younger daughter were early

settlers in this area. At first they worked at felling the giant trees to clear the land for farming. In 1881 he was granted a slaughtering licence and he was also operating Waterloo’s (Yarragon) first butcher shop. The settlement at the time was on the foothills to the south. His Elector’s Right number was 39 in the Buln Buln Division, which was from Drouin to Moe.

He participated in community events and was appointed starter for a horse race between two at Morwell with the stake at £10. He also entered a horse in a handicap race at the Boxing Day races at the Buln Buln meeting. He wrote to the Warragul shire asking that the council assist in erecting a bridge across the Moe River at the boundary of Narracan Council. The township of Waterloo was surveyed for closer settlement in the early 1890s with people moving closer to the railway line.

About 1901, Daniel and Ellen moved with his two younger sons to the Chiltern area in Northern Victoria. He applied for the aged pension stating he worked as a carter with his horse and dray valued at £20 and his place of residence valued at just £10.

Their daughter, Helen, Mrs Dowton, brought them both back to Yarragon for their final years. Their son Alfred had also remained in Yarragon with his family.

Daniel died in the Warragul hospital on the 28th January, 1920, aged 97 years; and Ellen, his wife died in Yarragon two days later, 30th January, 1920, aged 90 years. It was the day after Daniel’s funeral. They had been married for 73 years. Both are buried in the Church of England section of the Yarragon cemetery.

They were my great grandparents

Christmas Giving Tree As Christmas approaches, it’s good to be able to share the love around. Christmas is a very difficult time of the year for many people across Gippsland. Anglicare is collecting presents for children in foster care and for individuals and families in financial need. Non perishable Christmas foodstuffs and decorations are also greatly appreciated. Gift cards for music or DVDs or clothing shops are very helpful for teenagers. Last year, our community was very generous with donations and these were greatly appreciated by the people who pack up parcels for needy people. We also collect unwrapped gifts and non-perishable Christmas food items at Sunday services until the second Sunday in December- the 9

th this year.

Once again, there is a giving tree set up at the Bendigo bank in Trafalgar. It’s a great way to share around a bit of Christmas joy with less fortunate people. Please don’t wrap presents as the social workers choose suitable gifts for their clients. Your contribution will really make someone’s Christmas special!

Kids Holiday program

This year again there will be games, music, craft, stories and a host of fun activities for primary school children at St Mark’s in Loch Street on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th January from 10am till 12 noon. This free program is sponsored by the Anglican church. All workers have their Working with Children checks and across the team we have all the other necessary qualifications. For a registration form please email [email protected] . Preschoolers are welcome if an adult accompanies them. The program will also run in Trafalgar 17th and 18th January and Thorpdale 22 and 23 January. Our regular afterschool program will continue in 2019 on Tuesday afternoons.

By Pat McPhie We had a very good gathering at our first meeting on 14th November. It was good to have a visit from 7 Lion members from the Trafalgar Lions Club. We had David Koshcade,

Graham McKenzie, Ian Bosma, Max Erbs, Bob Hoare, Leanne Anderson and Kevin Dewberry. Hope they all enjoyed their meal and their night out. We all did!

It’s good to talk to other Lions Club members as it can give us ideas for raising money in other ways.

If you are not a Lions member but live around here and have fund raising ideas for our club, please let one of our members know your ideas.

We were very pleased to have our Yarragon Kindergarten Teacher, Lee Sheehan, come along to thank us for the Buddy seat for the children who would like to sit on the seat and talk with other children, or their teachers.

We were also thanked for providing the kindergarten donation to help children have a good breakfast each day.

If anyone would like to create gardens at the Kindergarten, it would be appreciated, so that the children can learn how to look after their garden areas.

We had a wreath put alongside our Yarragon War Memorial on the 11th of November. It’s amazing so many people have had lost family members and still come to remember them, from World War 1, World War 2 and Vietnam.

I was born in 1943 and my 2 uncles returned home with gifts for me—a bracelet and hand made box which I still value. I was the first child of the family and both men told me how happy they were to see me happily running around to meet them when they got home. Next November 11th, we hope people may be able to attend our Yarragon’s War Memorial and pass on some stories about your families and friends, at war time.

Our big yearly effort for the sale of raffle tickets for Christmas will be drawn on the 12 December at St Jarlaths Catholic Church Hall in Rollo Street. If you have not yet purchased one of our tickets you can find sales being held on Dec. 6th at Woolworths, Warragul and Dec 8th at Bunnings Warragul. You may be able to buy Christmas cakes and puddings on these days.

We look forward to our senior members from around our town having a Christmas meal with us on 12th December, and hopefully some of them may win one of our raffle prizes on the night. Please turn up by 6 o’clock.

If you are hungry on 23rd December, we will be working at Bunnings, Warragul with a barbecue.

We would like to thank all the shop keepers in our area for supporting our Yarragon Lions Club Inc. Community Calendar for 2019. We will deliver them around town in the New Year.

We very much appreciate the great effort made by our Newsletter volunteers this year. Many thanks to Jen Lowe, Inge Mitchell and Christine Whiley.

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and we are always appreciative of those of you support us. Many thanks for that from all of us.

Hear the bells ringing! Christmas is traditionally about bells ringing and family get togethers. Often we might give a gift for a needy child. Maybe this year, we can think about the refugee kids on Nauru. Each Friday at noon the bells at St Mark‟s will be ringing, once for each child held in detention in Australia‟s jurisdiction. Sometimes it is hard to „see‟ injustice in our own culture because we just go along with what has become the familiar way of things. When this happens, people of a particular culture begin to believe that their norm is accepted across the developed world as a fair and reasonable way of behaviour. Although both our major political parties have promoted off shore detention for all people who have come as refugees by boat, the world

community has been amazed that Australia has broken the UNHCR (United Nations High Commission on Refugees) ruling that children should not be kept in detention during processing. As well as the UN and Amnesty International, this movement to allow these kids a chance at a normal life has a large list of Australian Ambassadors, including many distinguished doctors. (See kidsoffnauru.com). Anglican churches have been asked to participate in this bell ringing until all the children are released. I find it heartening that when the campaign began there were 120 kids in detention, there are now only 12. So when you hear the bells ringing, you will know that symbolically a voice is being raised for justice.

Anglican Christmas services Christmas Eve 6pm: Carols and Nativity St Mary‟s Trafalgar- kids come early if wanting to dress up for the play. Christmas Eve 9pm: Candle Lit Communion, St Mary‟s Trafalgar Christmas Day 9.30am: Holy Communion St Mark‟s Yarragon.

The Fire Danger Period FDP has begun at 1.00am on Monday nineteenth of November across the Baw Baw shire municipality. Yarragon Fire Brigade Captain, Ashley Smith, said: “vegetation has dried out considerably over the last few weeks and early indicators were pointing to a long and challenging fire

season ahead. It‟s still not too late to clean up your property if you haven‟t already done so, but the window for burning off has closed.” “Residents should take up the green waste collection service offered by their local councils when preparing their properties through clearing, mowing or slashing.” Captain Smith suggested. During the Fire Danger Period, all fires in the open air are banned without a permit, along with most activities with the potential to generate sparks, the Victorian Government and its agencies have declared that they will be taking a zero-tolerance approach to any fires resulting from people flouting the laws. Expect that any fires started to be fully investigated by police. “While local CFA brigades do everything they can to work with the community, we look to the residents to use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fires,” Captain Ashley Smith said. Residents can find information about what is and isn‟t permitted during the Fire Danger Period by visiting cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/can or by calling 1800 226 226. During the Fire Danger Period (FDP) fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer. The FDP is based on local conditions and takes into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. Fire Danger Period information:

A written permit is required to burn off grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation during the FDP. This permit may be issued by the Municipal Fire Prevention Officer or the CFA District Office. Please check with your municipality in the first instance.

Lighting a fire in the open without a permit is an offence and can bring a penalty of over $17,000 and/or 12 months imprisonment. Barbeques and fires for cooking and warmth do not require a

permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces (to view complete conditions visit cfa.vic.gov.au/can)

Use of incinerators, chainsaw/lawn mowers, welding/grinding equipment and vehicles that come in contact with vegetation and machinery with an internal combustion/heat engine is permitted provided conditions are followed.

Farmers can find legal guidelines and practical advice at cfa.vic.gov.au/farming – important especially for new farmers, bush block owners or hobby farmers.

A Total Fire Ban declaration means no fires can be lit for the declared district for that day unless there is a specific exemption or special permit issued. This applies irrespective of the Fire Restriction status for a given municipality. Further details at cfa.vic.gov.au/can

Christmas Festive Season Approaches

As has been our custom in past years Yarragon fire brigade will be holding the annual Santa run in the Yarragon township on the 14th of December in conjunction with the twilight market. The brigade will be assisting Santa in distributing lollies to the town‟s younger residents from the Yarragon‟s fire vehicles…so keep your eyes and ears open for the big red truck and that all familiar figure in red. Yarragon Fire Brigade would like to take the opportunity to thank the residents for their support throughout the year, in both fund raising efforts and for their diligence on fire safety in the community. All local brigades need the ongoing active participation of residents during the coming fire season, so…

Develop a plan for your family‟s sake , Prepare your property, Report any smoke

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Christmas From all Yarragon Fire Brigade Volunteers.

Trafalgar and Warragul Outdoor Swimming Pools.

Trafalgar pool will be open from December 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019., when the temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius. Pool is open from 3pm on school days, from 1pm on holidays. Warragul Outdoor pool will open from 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019 due to temperature control functionality. Pools may close prior to or during thunderstorm activity or in extreme weather conditions. All pools will be closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Entry Prices Trafalgar Warragul (includes access to all pools.) Pricing structure is varied and can be found in the 2018/19 budget. For opening hours see Council’s website, swimming.

At the November meeting of the Yarragon and District Community Association, Tong Ung, Baw Baw Shire Drainage Engineer, outlined the plans they have to improve drainage in Yarragon with maps of the present state, and the future plans for extra pipes and retardation basins. Much discussion followed with Brian Rankin pointing out suggested changes to those plans bringing in his extensive local knowledge. Some of these suggestions were taken on board by Tong Ung and will be followed up.

The Yarragon 2030 sub-committee met with the council representatives. From this the following were discussed: The Yarragon Community is changing rapidly. It was strongly recommended that we preserve the

“village feel” of Yarragon but how to do this as the town grows is to be resolved. One suggestion is that each subdivision has pockets of open space that allow for gatherings of people for passive recreation. This means that there need to be more parks in new developments.

The walking track should be extended along to Hazeldene Road with various through tracks along the way.

The main theme is that of supporting community of all ages and abilities.

A Community Hub, as part of the Old School site development, is central to this plan.

Australia Day celebrations were planned as outlined on Page 7.

Community Celebrates as WGAC officially reopens.

The West Gippsland Arts Centre was once again a hive of

activity and entertainment on Saturday 17 November when

the facility officially reopened with an exciting community

celebration.

Hundreds of community members came out on a perfect

spring day to join in the reopening festivities appropriately

themed ―Welcome Home‖.

Held alongside the Warragul Farmers Market and Arts

Market, the festival was alive with roving performers,

interactive theatre displays, song and dance performances

and guided facility tours for those keen to see the

redevelopment in detail.

Gunaikurnai Elder Mr Nicky Moffatt performed a smoking

ceremony before the official proceedings commenced.

Federal Member for McMillan Russell Broadbent MP

attended and spoke on behalf of the Federal Government’s

$4 million funding contribution.

Mayor of Baw Baw Shire Cr Mikaela Power spoke on

behalf of Baw Baw Shire Council before unveiling the

commemorative plaque. Councillors and Mr Broadbent

gathered for a ceremonial ribbon cutting to officially declare

the redeveloped facility reopen.

The celebrations were capped off by a free evening

performance by the Gippsland Symphony Orchestra in the

refurbished auditorium.

The $14.1 million

redevelopment is

the largest capital

works project ever

undertaken by

Baw Baw Shire

Council.

Among a huge scope of works for this project, the biggest

change has been the construction of a new balcony

increasing seating capacity from 490 to 750 – finally

accommodating the audience number first envisaged for

this facility when it was originally built over three decades

ago.

By Richard Polmear As we near the mid-point of the bowls Pennant season for both Mid-Week and Saturday Pennant we have now played 6 matches each. I reported last month that neither team had managed a win but we were hopeful of turning our season around. Sure enough both teams have managed to string together a couple of wins and both

have moved clear of the bottom. Hopefully we can keep up the momentum. At this stage there is nothing further to report on the potential upgrade of our Club Rooms. The plan is to bring our facilities up to modern standards and community expectations. We hope to make a formal submission to the Latrobe Valley Authority in the not too distant future for funding assistance. If you are interested in trying bowls there are 2 opportunities: Every 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursday of the month, from

October to March inclusive, we have Twilight Bowls. It involves playing a few ends, no experience is needed, followed by a 2 course meal. The price is $15 per person. For catering purposes names need to be on the list by 5pm the prior Tuesday. The list is located just inside the door or names can be rung through on the Club mobile 0490

831 283. Remember the deadline – 5pm the prior Tuesday. To participate in the bowling, names need to be in by 5pm on the day with play commencing about 5:30pm.

Each Wednesday from 1pm the Club holds practice at a cost of $5 for green fees.

The Twilight Bowls dates for December are 4th and 18th and in January the dates are 15th and 29th. All are welcome. Come along – give it a try, you‟ll have a good time if you join in. Finally the Yarragon Bowling Club would like to thank the Sponsors and donors who have already come on board for the 2018/19 season. In your future purchases please consider using the following suppliers and local supporters. Without their generosity we would not survive financially. As of 25th October the list of sponsors and supporters is:

Trafalgar and District Bendigo Bank Yarragon Automotive Yarragon Pharmacy Westfalia Warragul Dental (Paul White) Café Piccolo Trafalgar Tyre Service

If you have a business that would like to join our list of sponsors and supporters please ring the Club mobile 0490 831 283 and a representative will follow you up.
