Towers dialed in By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS
Casey MP Tony Smith and Regional Communications Minister Fiona Nash with members of the Mount Evelyn Community for the anouncment of Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS four new mobile towers in the Casey electorate. 154837 Yarra Ranges Mayor Jason Callanan said new phone towers in the area would help their local communities grow. “It’s exciting to see mobile phone coverage is being acknowledged as black spots are a big concern to us,” he said. “Not only on a safety level but also for economic development; we have a lot more home businesses that rely on an effective and reliable connection and this will let them prosper.” The exact location of the new mobile phone towers will not be announced until the tender process has
been completed and telecommunications companies have tested the area. Labor candidate for Casey, Hovig Melkonian said Labor supported the program but would extend it further under a Labor-led Federal Government. “We support Tony Smith’s announcement and support the funding of the black spot program but the Liberals have not gone far enough,” he said. “There are 10,800 identified black spots on the national network and less that five per cent have been funded under Turnbull.”

happening only during election time,” he said. Mr Melkonian also said a Mobile Black Spot program funded and managed by a Labor Government would see mobile phone towers built in places where there was the greatest need. “I understand the importance of reliable mobile coverage in a fire-prone areas like Casey; it’s of paramount importance to ensuring everyone’s safety,” he said. “We are committed to funding and improving the Mobile Black Spot Program on the basis of need.”

Mr Melkonian said the towers that had been funded and built under the Coalition Government’s program were skewed towards Coalition-held seats. “Labor is committed to enhancing the black spot program in Casey and I am disappointed in way it has been rolled,” he said. “Some 499 towers have been funded so far, 416 of them have been in Coalition electorates and only 21 of them have been switched on. “I don’t profess to know what’s going on exactly with how the Liberal Party are allocating funding but it does seem odd it’s not based on need, it’s

CASEY MP Tony Smith paid a visit to the Mount Evelyn football ground with Minister for Regional Communications Fiona Nash to announce funding for four new mobile phone base stations. Mr Smith and Ms Nash announced the funding for towers in Mount Evelyn, Chum Creek, Reefton, and Kalorama on Tuesday 24 May as a condition of a Coalition win in the upcoming federal election. The funding will make up round three of the Mobile Black Spot Program which has seen $160 million in previous rounds contributed by the Coalition Government to improve mobile phone coverage in regional areas. “We are here today to make an absolute commitment that a re-elected Turnbull Government will provide funding for four new towers,” Mr Smith said. “These towers will provide a big benefit for safety and a stronger local economy.” Ms Nash said while the Federal Government and telecommunication companies decided where the towers would go, they would be built to benefit local communities. “This round particularly focuses on difficult areas and areas that telcos may not consider commercially viable,” she said. “We are also making sure we are taking communities’ views in consultation about what priorities are in local areas.” The four towers announced will see telecommunication companies partner with government in the planning and building of towers in non-metro areas with poor mobile phone coverage. “We will put locations forward and invite telcos to be part of the partnership in what is effectively a tender process,” Ms Nash said. The projected round three of the Mobile Black Spot Program sets out locations for between 100 and 150 towers that will cover roughly 900 mobile coverage black spots. Local businesspeople and Yarra Ranges Council were in attendance at the announcement and spoke positively about the proposed funding.

Brothers in grief CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS reports on the tragic Dandenong Ranges deaths of two Casey mates and recalls how he lost his brother in similar circumstances. TWO good-natured Casey teenagers are dead, another is fighting for life in The Alfred after an horrific two-car crash in Kallista on 24 May. On one hand they are statistics of a 2016 road toll that refuses to buckle ‘Towards Zero’. It had soared to 122 by 26 May - 17 ahead of last year. To loved ones of Kristof Kollar, 19, and his mate Lazlo Nagy, 17, the toll is unimaginably crushing. The two died at the scene after the car they were travelling in crashed when it skidded on Monbulk Road near Grant’s Picnic Ground, collided into an oncoming 4WD and rolled down an embankment in the dark. Their passenger, Aaron Goldsmith, 18, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with critical head injuries. Out of the catastrophe, brothers of the two late teenagers posted a defiant photo, arms around each other, in front of the crash shrine. Oliver Kollar declared on Facebook that he and Isaac Nagy both grieved for their older brothers. “You and I lost a great deal. “They left here together so today my friend and for the rest of my life you are my brother.”
Earlier, Oliver delivered a mighty message via a media pack at the shrine for everyone to “cherish your family”. “Don’t be too manly to say ‘I love you’.” Tributes have poured onto social media for the pair, some of them from school friends from Gleneagles Secondary Collage, Hallam Senior College and Fountain Gate Secondary College. Kristof was described as “someone I could always count on” who helped the person who wrote the tribute to blend into their first days at a new school. His employer, Pretty’s Prime Cuts, posted that he was “such a lovely, wellmannered, all-round great kid”. Lazlo was praised as “one of the funniest and most caring blokes” who’d have jokes with the teacher in automotive class. Many are willing Aaron to pull through from life support. Endeavour Hills Hawks Junior Football Club has spread wings of support around Lazlo’s family, especially his mother and club life member Louisa Nagy. Club president Steve Navarra said
The shrine to the young men included memories of happier times. Aaron Goldsmith is fighting for his life in the The Alfred.
Friends and family created a roadside memorial to the victims. Lazlo, a former Hawks player and Hallam Senior College student, was a likeable, quiet boy who stayed out of trouble and had many friends at the club. The family was highly respected. Lazlo’s three brothers play for the Hawks and their mother was a generous contributor. “The family don’t deserve this. They are a wonderful family,” Mr Navarra said. The day after the crash, Mr Navarra was set to join club members and friends filling the Nagy home to cook meals and console the popular family. Senior Endeavour Hills team players were resolved to wear black armbands at last weekend’s game and the junior team was to do the same and pay a minute’s silence to Lazlo. An Endeavour Hills Hawks Junior Football club member, close to the Nagy family, said it was hard to find the words to say to the family. The cause of the crash is being investigated by the Major Collision Investigation Unit which will prepare a report for the coroner. “I have lost a brother in an eerily similar way.

My advice to these poor families, friends and loved ones is just be there for them. Don’t be scared to ask how they are doing even though they are obviously feeling crap. Even if you can’t say a word, your help and show of support is what counts. It won’t mend what’s unfixable but will mean the world to them.” - CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS

Raising the flag for history ROYAL Australian Navy personnel from HMAS Cerberus enjoyed a history lesson of a more interactive variety at the Mt Evelyn RSL on the afternoon of Tuesday 24 May. As part of a new education program, members within the Navy’s Personnel Support Unit toured the sub-branch and met with veterans. They also enjoyed some fine hospitality and a war poem that was penned and performed by Jim Brown. The initiative is designed to encourage a greater understanding of Australia’s war history, which the sub-branch was only too happy to facilitate.

How lucky can you be? of

Member for Monbulk
I FEEL very fortunate to be raising my family in the hills, an incredible area where we are surrounded by such unique, natural beauty. Whether it’s a drive through the Dandenong Ranges, a walk through one of our many stunning gardens, or a leisurely bike ride, this is truly a beautiful place to live. However, we cannot take this for granted and the government must stand with the local community to ensure our native flora and fauna is protected. This is why I was so pleased to recently announce that Victoria’s bird emblem, the Helmeted Honeyeater, will now have new habitat thanks to a $400,000 funding boost in the Budget. Helmeted Honeyeaters, native to Victoria, have been quietly making a comeback from nearextinction in Melbourne’s eastern outskirts through a decades-long program of initiatives to protect habitat and boost population numbers. Last year, the Andrews Labor Government released 18 captivebred birds into the wild, the largest such release in Victoria’s history, and also provided $175,000 for the Helmeted Honeyeater Recovery
Program. This program has been crucial in allowing the birds to fight back from near-extinction and is a major reason for the recent upswing in numbers, which are currently in excess of 150 and represent the biggest known population in decades. While celebrating this great news, we must acknowledge the hard work of volunteers, staff at the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP); and the efforts of organisations like Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater in ensuring that this wonderful species has a bright future. Our local environment was a big winner in the Budget, which also provided $248 million to increase our capacity to respond to bushfires, protect other threatened native species and help our communities tackle climate change. On top of this, there is also funding for targeted, high priority actions that will protect important local biodiversity sites by removing weeds and pests - this will be achieved in partnership with local government and other land managers. One thing that we can all agree on is that we must protect the unique natural environment that surrounds us, to ensure future generations can experience it as we do. The hills is undoubtedly one of Victoria’s most beautiful areas and we should all be very proud to call it home.

Senior Sergeant Greg Addis said that graffiti had been sprayed on buildings and even a Puffing Billy carriage in the Emerald and Cockatoo areas on the weekend of 21-22 May. He said that a number of different tags were used, and that anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Three vehicles stolen POLICE are looking for witnesses after three vehicles were stolen from a workshop in Lilydale, with tools still unaccounted for. Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Acting Sergeant Marc Hodgson said that between 20-23 May, unknown people cut a chain and padlock in a factory area of Hereford Road, Lilydale. The thieves then cut metal sheeting on an exterior wall of a workshop, before stealing three vehicles with tools in them. Det Sgt Hodgson said the vehicles had since been recovered, but hand tools and power tools from them have yet to be found. He said anyone who has more information, or who had been offered tools engraved with “Downer Group” or similar should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Billy keeps economy steaming By PETER DOUGLAS AS THE federal election race heats up, the funding promises are coming in thick and fast. Potentially, this could be a boon for the Dandenong Ranges, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull visiting Emerald Lake Park on Wednesday, 25 May, to announce a $20 million injection to boost tourism in the region. In a move that is designed to capitalise on a predicted Chinese tourist boom, the promise comprises $10 million to widen the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, $6.5 million to upgrade the Puffing Billy Railway, $2.5 million for the Ridge Walk and $1 million to extend the Emerald/Cockatoo trail to Gembrook. Along with Liberal colleague, La Trobe MP Jason Wood, Mr Turnbull fronted local and national media to announce the plan. After arriving on Puffing Billy, Mr Turnbull said the election promise would help to drive the economy. “We’re committing to a new discovery centre, upgrading the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, in addition to developing some walking trails,” Mr Turnbull said. “What all of this does is add to the strength of what is our largest services export ... tourism. “These are key elements in our national economic plan.” Mr Turnbull said the investment would help to create jobs. “Tourism is absolutely critical, we’re seeing really strong growth, nine per cent growth last year ... very strong growth out of China, last year we saw one million Chinese tourists,” he said. “And following Australia week in China, (where there was) an announcement that 2017 will be the year of China-Australia tourism ... you’ll see even stronger growth.
POWER WALK: From left are Jason Wood, Malcolm Turnbull, Yarra Ranges Mayor Jason Callinan, and Puffing Billy Railway chief executive officer, John Robinson. 154720 Pictures: PETER DOUGLAS “Puffing Billy alone has seen phenomenal growth, there should be over 415,000 passengers this year and that’s going to continue to grow. “All this grows jobs ... particularly in regional Australia.” The plan further sets in motion a major tourism proposal flagged by Mr Wood in April this year. Mr Wood unveiled a multi-million dollar proposal which centres on transforming Puffing Billy into a ‘mega tourism destination’. The proposal included the restora-

Mayor’s tag team plan By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS YARRA Ranges Mayor Jason Callanan is looking for two talented artists ages 12-25 to change how the mayor’s office looks. Cr Callanan is seeking local young artists to submit designs for murals to cover two of the walls in his office. “I want some cool art to be put on walls, to mix it up here in this office because it’s a bit plain,” he said. The two mural designs will need to cover one wall 1.8m wide by 2.4m high and another wall 2m wide by 2.4m high. While the design brief says the murals should reflect the Yarra Ranges, Cr Callanan is looking for more than just paintings of trees. “It’s up to the kids what they want to put up but I’m looking for something that’s edgy, that’s funky and that’s fun,” he said. “I want something that identifies young people of the shire and I want them to be imaginative in what they want to put up there.” The two artists who are picked to paint the murals will each receive a $100 Chirnside Park Shopping Centre voucher. The plan received some back-lash on social media with some local people upset established local artists were not chosen to paint the murals. Cr Callanan said running this competition was the best way to give all artists an equal opportunity to get the job. “We wanted to give people an equal chance rather than council just choosing two people to paint,” he said. “We could have gone away and just picked two artists to do it but there might be someone out there who might have something very different that we don’t know about. “We might even unearth a few young artists too who might not have considered doing something like this.” Entries for the mural competition will be accepted until Friday 17 June and the winning designs selected in the week starting Monday 20 June. Entries into the competition can be submitted online via www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Lists/ Latest-news/Mayors-Mural
Letters Fire reality check TO THOSE complaining about the Belgrave South CFA fuel-reduction burn-off, near BelgraveHallam Road, you need a reality check. As a family who lived at Belgrave South for 38 years, we loved the area and the wonderful community support. This was something that got us all through Ash Wednesday and, among others, the fire that destroyed one third of Upwey High School. If you lived through the devastation to our community on Ash Wednesday - or a few years later sat on your roof with a hose feeling inadequate as water bombers re-filled at Cardinia Dam and flew metres over your head to water bomb the fire that destroyed much of Ferny Creek and reached the Upwey township - you would understand; you live in one of the most dangerous bushfire areas in the world and you should be totally supporting the CFA efforts to keep you safe. There have been numerous years we experienced fires in the South Belgrave area, especially in the Wellington Road/Belgrave-Hallam Road area. Just because we may not have experienced a fire this year, or the past few years, it doesn’t mean the danger has gone away. When the bushfire hit the Belgrave area just a few years ago, there was absolute gridlock on all roads leading down to Upper Ferntree Gully; sometimes people never learn until it’s too late. This is not something that just happens to someone else. Chris Day, Upper Ferntree Gully.

I WRITE regarding (Yarra Ranges) Council plans to spend $28 million on the redevelopment of their offices. Back in 2013, Yarra Ranges Council was lining up to move to the old Swinburne site, which is now the home of Box Hill TAFE’s Lilydale campus. However, under duress from Labor’s Deputy Premier and Education Minister James Merlino, those plans were killed off for his selfish political reasons. Had council been able to move to the old Swinburne site, they could have done so for less than half of the estimated $28 million, leaving more money in the kitty for other worthwhile initiatives such as road maintenance and footpaths. Why do Labor’s decisions always end up costing taxpayers the Earth? Christine Fyffe, Member for Evelyn.

Weeds busted By PETER DOUGLAS
Burning off, like this fire in Wesburn, will not be allowed for those Picture: ROB CAREW in residential zones in June and July. 154477
Fire bans in June, July By JESSE GRAHAM YARRA Ranges residents will have to hold off with their burn-offs, with the council issuing a reminder that burning off is banned in residential zones over June and July. On Monday 23 May, the Yarra Ranges Council released a reminder that burning off is prohibited in residential bushland areas through June and July. Mayor Jason Callanan said the reason for the ban was because wood and organic material was wettest during these months, and would create “excessive smoke“ when burnt. “Burning wet material is prohibited under the local law,“ he said. “The law aims to strike a balance between burning off for fuel reduction purposes and reducing the impact of smoke on neighbours and the environment. “Residents across the whole

Those in rural zones will still be permitted to burn off, for fire prevention purposes - however, burning off is also not allowed on Sundays, Smog Alert Days and Total Fire Ban Days in this zone. For those in residential zones, the council suggested alternatives to burning, such as mulching, taking green waste to a waste transfer station or using a green waste bin.
NEVER underestimate the power of community people to make significant change. Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt emphasised this message when announcing more than $1 million funding for fuel reduction and revegetation projects across the Dandenong Ranges. Mr Hunt visited the region on Monday 23 May, to announce grants to 23 local groups, which included various landcare and friends groups, and environmental associations. One of the key funding announcements included $230,000 to StopPitt, which aims to help control the spread of pittosporum within the Dandenong Ranges. During his visit to Menzies Creek, Mr Hunt toured a study site which has been decimated by pittosporum. He used the opportunity to pay tribute to all groups committed to keeping the Dandenong Ranges beautiful. “Never underestimate the power of small community people to make lasting and significant changes,” he said. “What you have here in the Dandenongs is one of Australia’s great natural treasures and you know (the region) better than anyone; you are the custodians, the carers; you know about the challenges of ... all the different invasive species. “(Pittosporum) is the European carp or the crown of thorns in the hills.” Mr Hunt said the Dandenong Ranges deserved federal assistance, which would, in turn, help the helmeted honeyeater, the Leadbeater’s Possum and other threatened species. “The honeyeater and possum (are) magnificent native species, threatened and vulnerable,” he said. “We need to remove the threats and to
Jeff Walker provides further details on the pittosporum problem to MPs Picture: PETER DOUGLAS Greg Hunt and Jason Wood. 154629 encourage habitats that are going to encourage the recovery the species.” The Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority will deliver the grants under the Federal Government’s three-year, $3 million Dandenong Ranges Environmental and Bushfire Reduction programme. Mr Hunt also paid tribute to his colleague, La Trobe MP Jason Wood, who, he said, had advocated passionately for the funds. Mr Wood said the projects would improve life for many of the communities in the Dandenong Ranges including Sassafras, Emerald, Cockatoo, Belgrave, Gembrook, Clematis and Ferny Creek. “The Dandenong Ranges is a vital part of Victoria’s tourism industry with a thriving community,” he said. “These projects will help to protect that industry, while improving biodiversity and reducing the bushfire risk to visitors and residents,” Mr Wood said. Jeff Walker from StopPitt said the community shouldn’t underestimate the
destructive power of pittosporum. “Sweet pittosporum, or ‘Pitto’, is an invasive weed tree which prevents competition and totally destroys diversity - no orchids, no wildflowers, no other plants,” he said. “It will replace our eucalypts unless it is controlled.” Mr Walker said the StopPitt group emerged after a citizen science project with Grade 6 students from the Menzies Creek Primary School. This led to a research paper with Professor Ros Gleadow from Monash University. Professor Gleadow is the World Expert on pittosporum and predicted in the 1980s this situation would develop. In addition to the announcement, Mr Hunt made a re-election promise of $400,000 for two new Green Army projects in the Dandenong Ranges, with a focus on threatened species. This includes the Helmeted Honeyeater Habitat Restoration Project and Leadbeater’s Possum Project.

Awards bring out the best By RUSSELL BENNETT THE Rotary Club of Emerald and District held its Pride of Workmanship Awards at the Paradise Hotel in Clematis recently - thanking and paying tribute to those from a wide cross-section of the community for their contributions to the local area. Gembrook MP Brad Battin, Cardinia Shire Mayor Jodie Owen and Ranges Ward councillor Leticia Wilmott attended the presentation evening alongside a host of other guests including Rotary District 9810 governor David Tolstrup. They helped present a range of awards across the education, volunteering, community and business sectors. The McLeod Murphy Memorial Fund Annual Scholarship was also presented to local student Oscar Hulbert. The memorial fund provides scholarships in the form of cash grants to tertiary students from Emerald and the surrounding region who’re undertaking studies in medical-related fields. Each recipient of the award is presented with $2000 - $1000 for one year of study, and a further $1000 a year later if they continue down that path. Last year, Holly Latter was the recipient, and in 2016 she’s continuing in her third year of a Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Paramedicine at Australian Catholic University in Ballarat. This year’s new recipient of the McLeod Murphy Award is

People helping People Eview South East Real Estate Evelin Has lived most of her life in the Dandenong Ranges, starting in Belgrave South, she then lived in Monbulk, Cockatoo, Emerald and now in Mt Burnett. As her love for the hills was so strong, Evelin started her real estate career in 1997 in Lilydale and later joined her husband in their own Real Estate office Denny & Taylor Real Estate in Emerald Victoria which they sold in 2006. During her career she has listed and sold real estate from Ferntree Gully right through to Healesville and Yarra Junction, her main areas being Emerald, Cockatoo and surroundings. Between 2006 & 2011 a new adventure took place in rural NSW where Evelin worked as a property manager for a large mine and later in Social Housing NSW and managed an indigenous village. 4 years ago Evelin and her family returned to the Dandenong Ranges where she worked for a Franchise real Estate office in Emerald Vic, however not working for herself restricted her to put her own personal touches to her way of working with clients, When Evelin was introduced to the eview group, she was very impressed with the structure and culture. She expressed that “Having the opportunity to own and run my own business within the eview group company has given me the opportunity to work closely with each individual client and build an ongoing professional and personal relationship”. When quality of service counts, and for a friendly and compassionate attitude with a dose of empathy and hard work, you can rely on Evelin to deliver the result for the sale of your most valued asset. Evelin speaks fluent Dutch and some German which may help clients who are moving to Australia and might also be helpful to the elderly. Evelin and her husband have 7 children and thoroughly enjoy spending time with their 10 grandchildren and 2 dogs, one German Sheppard and a terrier.

Early years of Dylan By PETER DOUGLAS AFTER sell-out shows throughout the Yarra Ranges, it’s now Upwey’s turn to enjoy all that is incredible about singer-songwriter, Bob Dylan. The two-hour narrated rock ‘n’ roll show DYLANesque is set to rock the hills, while exploring the life and music of the renowned musician. The show spans from Dylan’s early years through to his evolution as a world-renowned artist. Musician Jeff Jenkins takes the lead role and said the show was way more than just playing some cool cover songs. “We’re not a tribute band, it’s more a theatre show because between the songs, I tell the audience stories about Dylan and what was going on in the world when he wrote some of his most famous songs,” he said. “And we love the fact that after each show, people come up to us and say ‘that was brilliant’ and ‘I had no idea that half those songs were ever written by Bob Dylan’.” Many of the ‘I didn’t know that’ moments come from the great collaborations Dylan had with his peers over many decades. The songs he penned were hits for everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Peter, Paul and Mary; and Manfred Mann. Jenkins said the show features more

The hand-picked band brings the legendary songs to life. 154827 than 30 of Dylan’s best-known hits, which receive great attention thanks to the talented musician and his line-up of hand-picked musicians. The band comprises Kim Farrell,
Mick Wenhuda, Andy King and Jim Moody. “I’ve cherry-picked four talented musicians to form the band and together we do the great man justice,” he said.
“We’ve played nine shows already, including The Corner Hotel in Richmond, which is a coup for any musicians to play such hallowed ground.” The next performance will be at
Burrinja’s Black Box theatre in Upwey on Friday, 17 June. For more details, visit dylanesque. com.au or for tickets, visit www.burrinja.org.au.
‘Mentals’ come to town Her name means art By PETER DOUGLAS HAVING blessed Australia’s stages, playlists, TV screens and awards nights for nearly 40 years, Mental As Anything will soon hit the Sooki Lounge in Belgrave. Boasting 12 albums between 1979 and 2009, the band’s contribution to the Australian music scene was formally recognised in 2009 with their induction into the ARIA Hall Of Fame. The art pop pioneers will perform at the Sooki Lounge on Thursday, 16 June, with their visit coinciding with the release of a new single and upcoming new material. The group recently announced the release of a new single ‘Shake off your Sandals’, which has been described as an instant pop classic with a distinct Mentals’ twist. The release is the first in what will be a regular suite of singles (one every five months). The performance also coincides with the lead-up to a re-issue of the Mentals’ most cherished albums (Get Wet, Cats and Dogs, Fundamental As Anything, Mouth To Mouth and Liar Liar Pants On Fire). The iconic releases are being reissued in a five-album set on Sunday, 11 December. Vocalist Greedy Smith said it was a fantastic time for the band. “We are pumped to release five of our most important studio albums in a five-CD set,” he said. “This coincides with our first ‘new’ recordings in many years. “In the studio with producer engineer Steve James, we will pump out a new single
THE name Chris Lawry is synonymous with fabulous art in the Dandenong Ranges. Lawry has been part of numerous Open Studios Weekends, the End of the Line Festival and exhibitions including the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale. Now, Lawry will present her new exhibition ‘ICONIC’. The free exhibition will take place from Saturday, 4 June, to Sunday, 3 July, at the Burrinja Cultural Centre. Taking inspiration from her mother’s paintings of icons, and featuring four local artists who have worked with iconic imagery, the exhibition features numerous different media. Lawry said this is a chance to work with her mother, Betty Lawry.
“My mother has loved painting icons for many years and I wanted the chance to exhibit with her, so I decided to organise an exhibition with a medieval theme,” she said. “Local artists Kirsten Laken, Marke Noke and I have had great fun creating works in our own mediums, but which have medieval subjects and styles that happily sit next to the icons.” Lawry described the works by each of the four artists as “familiar, yet fantastic”. The work includes paintings, stained glass, lino cut prints and photographic works; all inspired by the medieval era. Betty Lawry paints icons based on those images of Christian saints of Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Her versions of this age-old art-form are non-traditional, painted on archival paper and framed. Meanwhile, Laken works with stained glass. Her pieces have a clear relationship to the stained glass and leadlight church windows of the medieval era. Laken’s modern renditions of saints and monsters are created using traditional, century-old techniques which she splashes with colour for a contemporary take. The Burrinja Cultural Centre is located on the corner of Glenfern Rd and Mason Drive, Upwey. Entry is free. For more information, contact (03) 9754 8723 or email www.burrinja.org.au.
Apocalyptically mediocre X-Men: Apocalypse (M) Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence
Mental As Anything boast an almost unparalleled 20 ARIA Top 40 singles in Australia. 154799 every five months. “First cab off the rank is ‘Shake off your Sandals’.” Greedy said the band is proud of where this project is taking them. “We have toured continuously for 38 years and aren’t
stopping yet,” he said. “Bring it on.” Tickets are available at the venue or on www.moshtix.com. au. For more details, contact Sooki Lounge on (03) 9754 7567.
BRYAN Singer’s updated XMen series is just spinning its wheels with X-Men: Apocalypse. The re-awakening of El Sabah Nur (Oscar Isaac), the mythical first mutant, places the entire world in jeopardy, and the X-Men, led by telepath Professor X (James McAvoy) must band together once again to stop him. For all Isaac’s stolid gravitas, El Sabah Nur is a generic antagonist with vague worlddestroying motivations. The film wastes a lot of time show-
ing him recruiting his Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as most of these henchmen have negligible roles in the narrative. First Class was a politically-charged prequel and Days of Future Past was a universealtering revisionist adventure, but Apocalypse has comparatively little impact or consequence. Magneto (Michael Fassbender), El Sabah Nur’s favoured Horseman, is levelling entire cities with his magnetic powers, but this carnage feels very disconnected from the film’s constrained resolution. The action is exciting in the moment but unmemorable,
save for (once again) a wonderfully creative slow-motion centrepiece with Quicksilver (Evan Peters). But Apocalypse is still leagues better than Batman v Superman because of its strong performances and some great character development. The younger X-Men have very endearing personalities, and it’s gratifying to watch them work together as a team and fully realise their abilities. Placed against recent superhero classics and travesties, X-Men: Apocalypse is thoroughly mediocre, but still decently entertaining. - SETH LUKAS HYNES

THE Lilydale Historical Society has sadly said farewell to a stalwart member of their group with the passing of Margaret (Brenda) Crawshaw aged 84 years. Mrs Crawshaw led an extraordinary life since moving to Kalorama in 1956 with husband Steve and sons Robert and John. Mrs Crawshaw quickly became involved in her new local community, becoming a member of the Country Women’s Association and being active in the local school. It was in 1976 that Mrs
Crawshaw made an ascent into public life following the resignation of Keith Fraser from the then Shire of Lillydale. She stood for the bi-election six weeks before the ordinary elections were scheduled. She won in the scheduled election by only a handful of votes to become the first ever woman elected to the Shire of Lillydale in a contested election. Opposed by Len Cox in both elections, she claimed the seat with a larger majority than the time before. During her time as a councillor, Mrs Crawshaw was a fero-
cious advocate for the establishment of the Lilydale Library Service and worked tirelessly for the people of the shire. Mrs Crawshaw stayed an active member of the community after her time on council through the Lilydale Aged Care Council. She didn’t stop there either, after the death of her husband 25 years ago, Mrs Crawshaw joined the Ringwood War Widows and was president there for many years. A regular member of the Lilydale Historical Society, Mrs Crawshaw will be sorely missed by all members, friends and family.

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online. Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

Dancers Bev Houston, left, in orange, and Janelle Miller, in blue, before last year's Belgrave Lantern Parade. 154335
Lantern parade in Belgrave NOW is the time to start making your own lanterns to be a part of the 10th annual Belgrave Lantern Parade on Saturday, 18 June. Each year, the Lantern Parade brings together the community of the hills in a celebration of friendship and creativity. The Main Street is reclaimed for the people and thousands flock to take part in one of the best and biggest communitymade spectacles as hundreds of
lanterns line the main street, accompanied by drummers, dancers and performers. There is also a fabulous lineup of performers and events before and after the parade, including children’s Story Time in the Library after the parade, and Mount Burnett Observatory telescopes for some star gazing. In 2016, the Main Street will be closing half an hour earlier and there will be a Lantern Village, where people can enjoy
themselves before and after the parade at the top of Hayes Car Park. For those wanting to join the Lantern Making Workshop, there are many different workshops on weekends at Belgrave Library. For more details, visit www. belgravelanterns.org.au. Bookings are essential. To reserve your workshop place, contact the Belgrave Library on 9800 6489.

Olinda are flag favourites By CAMERON HUTCHISON FOUR seasons in one day was the order for Saturday. Fog at Olinda, sun at Monbulk, bit of rain elsewhere had punters with jackets on, sunglasses and heaters in cars going. Some of the football and netball would have either had you chilled to the bone or burning up with frustration. Olinda has now firmed as flag favourites with a resounding demolition of a weakened Woori Yallock side. Wandin and Healesville are just ticking along nicely. Alexandra upset Yea on the weekend, while Gembrook keep surprising some footy supporters. Four teams are now on 16 points in Division 2 as the battle for the minor positions on the ladder heats up. Wandin is starting to firm as a bit of a favourite in A Grade Netball but Olinda and Warburton are hot on their heels. Division 2 has Yarra Glen and Seville all tied up and they do not meet for the first time until Round 8. Watch this space! Division 1 Seniors Healesville 18.14.122 d Emerald 9.8.62 Healesville got off to a great start on Saturday, kicking 5.5 in the first to take a handy lead in to the second. Emerald just could not get the ball past the centre of the ground as Healesville kicked an amazing nine goals in the second to take an unbeatable lead 75 points into the main break. Emerald outscored Healesville in the second half, kicking 6.5 to 4.8 which shows that Emerald can match it but the damage was done in the second quarter. Healesville Best: N. Mende (1 goal), A. Hamer, J. Nugent, M. Fraraccio (4 goals), S. Donkin, P. MacFarlane (3 goals) Emerald Best: L. McKenna, M. Steer, J. Thomas (1 goal), Mat Dompietro, D. Murray, Michael Dompietro
Monbulk 19.9.123 d Warburton Millgrove 11.8.74 The Burras started off well and took a handy lead on nine points into the second.
Things evened up in the second, with Monbulk booting six goals to Warby’s four to give Monbulk a slim lead of two points at half time. The game see-sawed in the third, but Monbulk increased their lead to 16 points. The Burras were overrun in the last and unable to add any majors to their score, while Monbulk had the biggest quarter of the day, kicking six in the last to come away with a comfortable but not convincing win.
goal while they kicked seven, increasing their lead to 37 points at half-time. Joel Coombes was unstoppable up forward, kicking nine goals for the day. Wandin kicked another 13 goals in the second half, holding Upwey to only six. Daniel Waters kicked five for Upwey but it just was not Upwey’s day. Wandin Best: J. McInnes, Jack. Bayliss (1 goal), J. Coombes (9 goals), Jarrod Bayliss (3 goals), J. Glenn (1 goal), J. Taylor. Upwey-Tecoma Best: J. Hackett, B. Sheppard, S. Mitchell (1 goal), K. Townsend-Finlay (1 goal), D. Van Hoorn (2 goals), J. Barnard
Monbulk Best: S. McBride (2 goals), D. Ward (2 goals), C. Sharpe (2 goals), T. Gromer, T. Armstrong, B. Hicken Warburton Millgrove Best: P. Sharp, J. Iacono, L. Barnard (1 goal), T. Walker (1 goal), D. Brookes, I. Andueza
Belgrave 11.12.78 d Mount Evelyn 9.20.74 Belgrave have racked up their first win for the season against a Mount Evelyn side that will be wondering how they let this one get away. Simple answer - you need to kick more goals than behinds. A total of 9.20 for the day is obviously not a winning score. Belgrave came out and took control over the tempo of the game kicking 4.4 to 1.2. Belgrave’s pressure on Mount Evelyn was the difference all day. Even when Mount Evelyn hit the lead by 13 points late in the last quarter, it was this pressure which got them back in front and again the pressure on Mount Evelyn to kick a goal after the siren was too much; and a behind resulted as did Belgrave’s first win. Belgrave Best: T. Stubley (1 goal), J. Brown (1 goal), J. Pearce (2 goals), D. Bilston, P. Gough (1 goal), J. Webb Mount Evelyn Best: D. Matarazzo, L. Francis, R. Cowan, J. Thompson, D. Kift, B. Doyle
Olinda Ferny Creek 16.17.113 d Woori Yallock 3.11.29 Olinda has stamped their authority on the competition at this point with a comprehensive win over second place Woori Yallock on Saturday. A four goal to one first quarter seemed like a reasonable start by both sides, and it was only early. Spectators would have expected Woori to fire up in the second, but
Marcus Hottes has continued his interleague form, helping to build Olinda's premiership credentials. 154866 Olinda were full of run and Woori just had no answers for the drive out of the centre. Olinda kicked six goals in the second, while Woori only managed four behinds. Woori struggled all day hitting targets, which put the result out of Woori’s reach. Olinda kicked another seven goals in the second half to Woori Yallock’s solitary goal. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: C. Horner (3 goals), M. Mollica (2 goals), L. Taylor, C. Brown, M. Wright (1 goal), D. Noorda
Woori Yallock Best: J. Matthews (1 goal), J. Coombs, K. Busoli, H. Smith, K. Thompson, J. Adams
Wandin 24.16.160 d Upwey Tecoma 11.14.80 Wandin are starting to show why they were last year’s premiers by racking up another win on Saturday at the expense of Upwey. Wandin now sit third on the ladder by percentage. This game started off as an even affair, with both sides kicking four in the first. Wandin played possession football in the second and held Upwey to one

Hawks spread their wings MONBULK JUNIOR FOOTBALL MONBULK Junior Football Club was far and wide for Round 6, playing at five different venues. Under 9Bs played at Emerald and were missing three players from last week. Despite being undermanned, they played very well for the full four quarters. The highlights for the day were the defensive skills, talking and chasing, and pressure on the opposition which saved countless goals. A great team effort; no result recorded. Awards: B. Downey, E. Knight, D. English, W. Davidson-Tuck, C. Seamer.
Under 9As produced an amazing effort. There were plenty of goals, staying in positions and most importantly great teamwork; no result record. Awards: J. Harvie, Z. Gates, W. Hughson, O. Blandthorn, T. Bull, J. Burton.
Under 12Bs produced back-toback four quarter efforts, which was
the highlight this week. They played the wide open spaces of the Belgrave ground with great awareness. Result: Monbulk defeated Belgrave. Goals: J. Turpin 3, L. Smith 2, M. Blom, A. Bohun, T. Koelewyn, T. McBride, N. Rutherford. Awards: S. Niclasen, A. Bohun, J. Turpin, T. Rickard, J. Bateson.
The Under 14Bs’ second time up against Emerald after going down by a few goals the first time. They were able to turn it around and win by a few goals. They showed how hard they have been working on running for their teammates at training and it paid off with a good win. Result: Monbulk 10.7(67) d Emerald 5.2(32) Goals: L. Beecroft 2, C. Separovic 2, J. Niclasen 2, B. Sander, L. Fransen, T. Ford. Awards: T. Ford, H. Hemara, B. Lee-Wren, A. Green, M. Doe.
Under 10s had to fight back today
to overcome a strong opposition side. A wonderful effort by all players, who continue to improve every week; no result recorded. Awards: F. ThomasTatti, J. Koelewyn, C. Hooper, L. McDonald, J. Abraham. Under 12As were up against Yarra Glen - not knowing what to expect, they had a bit of a wake-up call. Even contest up to half-time and needing to get in first for the ball and in front. After half-time, the Hawks switched up a gear and played in front. A great team effort; well done. Result: Monbulk 7.6(48) d Yarra Glen 1.0(6) Goals: M. Abraham, M. Bateson, J. Davidson, J. Farmer, D. Komiazyk, C. Scheid, J. Turner. Awards: J. Davis, F. Russell, J. Bolton, W. Henderson, C. Scheid.
Under 14As - the game was played in great spirit with four of the inter-
league players playing for UpweyTecoma’s Under 14Bs side, ensuring a close contest. In terms of development, the players took a step forward in working together and sticking to team structures; no result recorded. Goals: T. Hepworth 3, J. McLachlan 2, T. Ford, L. Fransen, L. DeVisser. Awards: C. Dennison, T.J. Utting, L. DeVisser, O. Davis, J. McLachlan.
The Under 16s had a tough game against good opposition. The first half was good and they worked hard at the stoppages. In the third quarter, the boys didn’t work hard enough and Healesville got a good lead. They worked hard to finish the game, which was pleasing. Result: Monbulk 4.9(33) d Healesville 15.12(102) Goals: B. te Boekhorst, T. Taylor, D. Ross, S. Ross. Awards: A. Richards, Flea, T. Badgery, T. Taylor, D. Rak.

Yarra Ranges conquers the rain By JAMIE STRUDLEY BRAVING freezing temperatures, rain and less than ideal weather conditions, a small but dedicated and enthusiastic group of Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes ventured to Mountain Recreation Reserve in Cockatoo to join the Cockatoo Little Athletics Club for a unique round of cross country at an exciting new venue. Those who were brave enough to venture out on a morning where simply staying in bed was an extremely attractive preposition were treated to some classic cross country conditions; mud, puddles, obstacles, creek crossings, forest trails and, who could forget, hills. The course was challenging with undulating and hilly terrain, bountiful obstacles and wet and sloppy conditions underfoot. This - combined with a welcoming, friendly and relaxed atmosphere - ensured that the day was a success, with smiles beaming on all faces. Results: 500m, Lillianna Poot 3.32, Sam Laven 3.35, Blake Freer 4.02, Charlotte Spiteri 4.25, Madeline Cannon 4.26, Lily Clarke 4.31, Angus Comport 4.58, Laura Digregorio 4.58, Owen Poot 5.47, Regan Lougheed 7.07, 1000m, Mitchell Deckert 4.05, Zac Clarke 4.09, Zoe Clarke 4.59, Charlotte Comport 5.19, Kayla Cannon 5.19, William Spiteri 5.52, Eibhlin O’Connor 6.05, Willem Poot 6.07, Harvey Kane 6.14, Laura Digregorio 6.24, Clara Woods 6.30, Nicole Cannon 6.32, Sinead Willey 6.55, Charlotte Morgan 7.08, 1500m,Graham Begroth 5.46,Kiara Flavell 6.38,Tiarnach O’Connor 7.38,Tiara Willis 8.23,Harrison Cape 8.32,Zoe Freer 8.32,James

A fantastic achievement and one we hope is a step to bigger things. Next week Yarra Ranges will meet at Lillydale Lake for cross country, with proceedings beginning at 8.45am for a 9am start. Our senior team will be heading to Ballarat for Round 4 of XCR16. For results, news, photos and more, visit yarrarangesathletics.org.au or check out the Facebook page.

Motoring Haylee rides into the desert By KATH GANNAWAY LAUNCHING Place dirt-bike rider, Haylee Malan, will have a great fanbase behind her as she tackles one of the most gruelling rides in Australia in June. The 20-year-old is an integration aide at Yarra Junction Primary School and is studying to become a teacher. Her goal to complete the 452-kilometre desert race from Alice Springs to Finke and back is getting her some serious street-cred with the students and teachers. Promoted as ‘the most fun you can have with a helmet on’, and with a reputation as one of the most difficult off-road courses in one of the remote places in the world, the two-day Tatts Finke Desert Race is a multi-terrain event for bikes, cars, buggies and quads that attracts competitors from around the world. Haylee is no newcomer to dirt-bike riding, starting at a young age and coming from a family which revels in the sport. She rides competitively with the Motor Cycle Racing Club of Victoria, and in 2012 finished second in the Victorian Titles Open Women’s Class. The Finke isn’t her first big race - In 2012 and 2013 she completed the Hattah Desert Race - but it is the biggest. With her CRF250 bike primed for the race, she will line up in open section over the Queen’s Birthday weekend. She said she signed on for the Finke to challenge herself and fulfil a goal to compete in an event that demanded a lot.

Fuel misers roam the Earth TOYOTA’S hybrid vehicles have saved their owners 25 billion litres of petrol enough fuel, theoretically, for each of their cars to travel around the Earth ... and then some. The calculation was revealed by the world’s leading carmaker when it announced it has sold more than nine million Toyota and Lexus hybrid vehicles around the world, including more than 85,000 delivered in Australia. The latest milestone, achieved in April, comes as Toyota Australia prepares to introduce its newest hybrid, Corolla, early in the second half of this year. Toyota’s parent company in Japan has revealed that the total fuel saving from its nine million hybrids repre-
sents an average of more than 2770 litres per vehicle compared with driving petrol-only cars of similar size. The saving would provide enough fuel for each of those vehicles to travel at least 52,400km, or 1.3 times around the equator, based on a nominal average consumption of 5.3 litres per 100km. Three-quarters of the nine million hybrids use less than this amount of fuel. Instead of doing that, of course, Toyota’s hybrid owners have pocketed billions of dollars in savings. Toyota has also estimated its hybrid vehicles have resulted in approximately 67 million fewer tonnes of CO2 emissions than would have been emit-
ted by petrol-powered vehicles of similar size and driving performance. Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the extent to which hybrid vehicles had found homes in driveways around the world confirmed them as a mainstream option for motorists. “Toyota’s hybrid vehicles are renowned for their performance, reliability, durability and exceptionally low running costs as well as their contribution to the environment and to saving precious fossil fuels,” Mr Cramb said. Corolla hybrid hatch will be introduced as a well-specified single grade, expanding the local company’s Hybrid Synergy Drive offerings to a fifth model.
Toyota’s hybrid vehicles have saved their owners 25 billion litres of petrol. 154751
