Back to the future By Jodie Symonds SILVAN Primary School celebrated its 140th milestone on Friday, 18 November, and staff said the school’s values had not changed. Principal Damian Tirchett said students enjoyed a day of what school would have been like to attend over 100 years ago. “The students dressed up in 'olden-day’ clothes and attended school as if they would 100 or so years ago,” Mr Tirchett said. During the celebrations, there were a range of stalls, an ice-cream truck, a coffee van and a huge range of games and entertainment. Many of the buildings erected in the 1800s still stand today – including the teachers' residence building that has since been redesigned into a home economics room for students. In a document published for the centenary of Silvan Primary School - it stated that in October 1876, the school enrolled 22 students. This year, Silvan Primary School has enrolled 34 students. Integration aide support teacher Margaret Swankie ran the history table, where she showed visitors about what life was like for students and teachers back in the 1800s. Ms Swankie said over the past nine years she had worked for the school, the integrity had not changed. “We’ve only got a small amount of kids which I think is really good because they get more one-on-one

time, but our teachers are fantastic too,” Ms Swankie said. “We’re a very environmentally friendly school; and no matter what our principal Damian does, it is always for the students before anything else.” Meanwhile the school was recently awarded a $9600 grant to upgrade their 'frog bog’. Minister for Education James Merlino was not able to attend the 140th anniversary, due to last-minute commitments, but announced the new funding as part of the School Pride and Sports Fund. The frog bog was built in 1954 as a nature sanctuary and today gives Silvan Primary School students the opportunity to study environmental science and experience biodiversity and sustainability first-hand. The grant will allow new pathways to be built through the frog bog and seeds will be cultivated in the school’s hothouse and replanted. Students will create a photo diary of the frog bog to document its growth. Mr Merlino said the updated frog bog would provide a dynamic learning environment where students were engaged, stimulated and encouraged to be creative thinkers. “It provides a welcome break from the classroom and the new features will build pride in a great school that has been supporting local families for 140 years,” Mr Merlino said.

Dominating the Globe LILYDALE’S Nikki Eastmure (pictured) will represent Australia and compete for the title of Mrs Globe held in China next month. For Ms Eastmure, pageant life is about empowering women to embrace a healthy lifestyle. On Friday 28 October, Ms Eastmure placed runner-up in the Ms Australasia pageant, but due to the winner Laura Lydell not being able to compete in China, Ms Eastmure has taken her place. The 12 days of competition start on Sunday 11 December. Ms Eastmure hopes to inspire women to create healthier relationships with food, as well as raise awareness for the Butterfly Foundation. 161695

School turns 140 By Jodie Symonds SILVAN Primary School celebrated the school’s 140th birthday on Friday 18 November. Taking a step back in time, students and staff created an 1800s atmosphere. Principal Damian Tirchett said students enjoyed a day of what school would have been like to attend over 100 years ago. Past students attended and were taken on tours to see how the school had developed. During the celebrations, there were a range of stalls, an ice-cream truck, a coffee van and a huge range of games and entertainment. Home-made food was sold at the event as well as a sausage sizzle cooked by Mr Tirchett. Right: Specialist teacher Corinne Hughes tries her aim at scoring some winnings on the Coin Toss.

THE Monbulk Structure Plan community workshop on Thursday, 24 November, is a chance to find out more about the emerging directions of the plan project, according to Yarra Ranges Shire. Issues and opportunities for enhancing Monbulk have been compiled and will be presented to the community along with a draft vision and ideas for development and enhancement in the town. Community feedback will be sought on the options and ideas which will be fed into the Draft Structure Plan. The workshop will include a presentation of: Work undertaken to date; an overview of issues identified in Monbulk; opportunities for improvement on public land; ideas gathered for new development or re-use of vacant sites in the township; and a draft vision for the town and draft options for development or improvement works. Director of Social and Economic Development Ali Wastie said workshop attendees would be provided the opportunity to discuss their feedback on the ideas and options presented, as well as any other ideas in an open discussion. “The forum will be guided by questions from the project team, and all feedback received will inform the next stage of the project,” she said. The final Issues and Opportunities Paper will be provided in December based on feedback obtained at the workshop. Stage 3 of the project will involve preparing the draft structure plan report based on issues and opportunities work undertaken and feedback from the Monbulk community. This draft will be available for the community to review and provide feedback in March-April 2017 before being finalised. The project comprises four stages and will be completed in June 2017. The workshop will be held at the Monbulk Living and Learning Centre on Thursday, 24 November, from 6pm to 8pm. RSVP to Senior Strategic Planner Kris Hansen on 9294 6195 or email strategicplanning@yarraranges.vic.gov.au. A draft Issues and Opportunities Report has been prepared and is now available for public comment.

Member for Evelyn

Homemade gifts and warm wishes given with love and friendship mean far more than expensive store wrapped ones. I believe crimes of violence and terrible deeds that we see are far out-

weighed by the countless acts of compassion from neighbour to neighbour. Christmas brings a personal message to each one of us; from it we can draw inspiration and courage to overcome our challenges. My announcement that I will be retiring in 2018 at the next state election was an emotional one and I am grateful to receive so many messages of thanks and support. Helping individuals, small business and the community was, and still is, rewarding for me. Just because it’s Christmas we cannot ignore the need to be prepared for the fire season. We have had a very

Missing dog dead A LIVER-SPOTTED Dalmatian that has been missing for more than a month has been found dead in a mine shaft in Monbulk. Jenny Clark-Pearman, the owner and Dalmatian breeder of the brown and white dog ‘Georgia’, posted the news on Facebook on Friday 4 November. “It is with a very heavy heart that I let everyone Georgia, the liver know that after a phone spotted Dalmatian. call last night from a young man who, with his mate, came across a mine shaft that contains our beautiful Georgia,” Ms Clark-Pearman wrote. “I cannot imagine what she was doing in that part of Monbulk.” The Mail reported on Thursday 13 October that Ms Clark-Pearman had reported to Monbulk police that Georgia had been stolen. She said Georgia was a house dog and was let out to have a play in the front yard with the cat on Rankins Road, but only the cat returned to the house.

AS THIS is my last Mail column for the year I would like to begin by wishing everyone in the Valley a Merry Christmas and send my best wishes for 2017. May it be an enjoyable and relaxing time for everyone. If you are planning to drive, please take breaks - as the safety message says, “better to be late than dead on time.“ Christmas is a time to reflect on why we celebrate the birth of Christ and is a great opportunity to catch up with family and friends. The exchanging of gifts can create financial pressure; it truly is the thought that counts.

Hills Hub stutters again By Peter Douglas THE stop-starting Hills Hub project has stalled yet again, according to the consultation group entrusted with its development. The hub is highly anticipated within the community but has suffered numerous false starts over the past 12 months due to disagreements over the design. The three groups driving the project are the Hills Hub Advisory Committee, the Emerald Mechanics Institute Committee of Management (EMICOM), and Cardinia Shire. They have struggled to find common ground, in particular over whether to demolish the old hall and construct and new one. The advisory committee comprises the Emerald U3A, the Eastern Dandenong Ranges Project Group (EDRPG) and the Emerald Village Committee. The committee now says EMICOM

has refused to accept the outcome of the recent consultation process, labelling it flawed. The outcome of the consultation favoured demolishing of the old hall. EDRPG member Ian Robins said the latest setback was a huge blow for the community. “Enough is enough,” he said. “To date, all stakeholders in the hub project have tried to accommodate EMICOM’s concerns. But, now, to have them dispute the outcome of community consultation is the last straw.” Movement on the project had looked to improve significantly in late September, with the completion of the community survey that gauged community preferences regarding construction. Four scenarios were put to the community, with Scenario 4 gaining the most support (98 votes), which sup-

ported a ground-floor hall in the new facility. After consultation, an architect was expected to start work on a detailed design, with work slated to start during the first quarter of next year. However, after the latest development, the advisory group says they have written a joint letter to Minister for Industry, Energy and Resources, Lily D’Ambrosio, and requested an intervention. U3A member Mal Bowmaker said it was a last resort. “We are very disappointed to have to take this step,” he said. “But unless we get the project going again, we can see the design process being held up even more and inflation eating into the money set aside for the hub project. “We need EMICOM to be co-operative and to get the project moving again.”

Meanwhile, Emerald Village Committee member Dick Bartley said Cardinia Shire must shoulder some of the blame. “We have been very pleased with the patience and forbearance shown by Cardinia Shire to date,” he said. “However, we are concerned the shire will become frustrated ... and withdraw their funds. “If they do, we would also lose the (federal funds).” Council’s Team Leader Community Development, Tim Cooper, said he was hopeful a resolution could be reached soon. “This is a significant project that will enable community members to easily access a whole range of community and health services at the same location,” he said. “Council understands the frustration felt among those involved in the project, but is hopeful that a suitable

resolution will be achieved through co-operation, collaboration and compromise.” The hub development seeks to unite numerous community services under the one roof, including health and counselling services, an arts space, local tourism and more. The initiative has received multimillion dollar funding promises from federal and local government, as well as funds from the Eastern Dandenong Ranges Group and the Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group. In June last year, about 100 people attended an information session at the Emerald Hall precinct to provide feedback for the initative. Then Cardinia Shire mayor Leticia Wilmot was confident the hub would address important social, health and economic needs in the east-west corridor of the hills region.

New mayor is back again RANGES Ward’s Cr Brett Owen has been elected unanimously as mayor of Cardinia Shire. After filling the role in 2012, this is the second time Cr Owen will sit at the helm. Cr Owen said he was looking forward to working collaboratively with the new council, particularly on developing a unified vision and clear objectives. “I thank the people of the Ranges Ward who gave me great support,” Cr Owen said. Former mayor Cr Jodie Owen was elected as deputy. Pictured, centre, is Cr Owen with the newly elected Cardinia Shire Council. 161967

Comment by Peter Douglas OVER the years, I’ve lived in numerous parts of regional and rural Victoria. So, I guess it comes with, at least, some authority when I say that drivers in the Yarra Ranges are among the most impatient in Victoria. Daily, I drive the beautiful, yet winding and dangerous roads in the region due to my daily commute to work. And it never ceases to amaze me how many drivers either tailgate or overtake at dangerous speeds. In fact, this occurs with such regularity I can now pick out the specific vehicles of which I need to be aware. With this in mind, it may come as no surprise I was witness to an almost-horrific crash

recently in the region, one where the driver would consider themselves extremely lucky to have walked away. Not surprisingly, driver impatience was the cause. In ideal driving conditions, along a quiet stretch of road, the traffic had slowed considerably due to a slow-moving vehicle, with this vehicle slowing further as the driver indicated a right turn into a driveway. One driver saw this further slowing in traffic as a chance to overtake. So, coming from about seven deep in a pack of cars, the driver made their move. But, while travelling about 80km/h, the driver clipped the slow-moving, turning vehicle which they had not seen - and spun out of control at high speed. The damaged car eventually

crashed into a ditch. As a journalist, it should be instinct to grab a phone and take photos. But, as a concerned individual, who felt a duty of care, I grabbed my phone and prepared myself to ring triple-zero. Thankfully, the driver emerged from the car and indicated they were fine. Numerous drivers had also stopped and were prepared to offer assistance. I almost wasn’t going to write this, but a letter-writer who shares my exact concerns has inspired me. If nothing else, I wish to impress on readers the Yarra Ranges is full of blind-spots. When driving in the region, please ensure you give yourself plenty of time to react to the unseen.

I HAVE empathy for Lola Diaz’s “near misses” at her property in Belgrave (‘Cars keep dropping in’, Mail, 8 November). However, I think the problem is not so much dangerous roads, as dangerous drivers who do not take the time and patience necessary to traverse these roads. I have recently moved to the Ranges and I am appalled at the recklessness of drivers on these curvy roads. On 15 November, my letter appeared on the comments page in ‘The Age’, expressing my concerns.

Exceeding the speed limit and tailgating are driver behaviours I find a constant problem. And speeding cars crossing double lines into oncoming traffic are especially concerning. All these situations are exacerbated by wet conditions. Everyone needs to feel safe on the roads. The Ranges are a gorgeous place to live. More driver-awareness and responsibility towards others would enhance the overall enjoyment and quality of life in this beautiful part of the world, a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle that is so often part of city living. Anna Gdanski, Monbulk.

A sustained school effort By Jodie Symonds THE Patch Primary School has become a leading school in sustainability by winning the 2016 ResourceSmart Schools Award. In Victoria’s largest sustainability awards program, The Patch Primary School was recognised for their innovative sustainability projects. The award was presented on Friday 11 November at the Melbourne Museum, and State Member for Monbulk James Merlino attended The Patch Primary School on Wednesday 16 November to congratulate the school and students on their efforts. “It’s a fantastic achievement that The Patch Primary School can stand head and shoulders with Victoria’s best schools,” Mr Merlino said. Mr Merlino met with The Patch Primary School students Ruby, Gracie, Logan, Darcy and Ted, and Assistant Principal Michelle Rayner. “It’s great to be recognised for this award, because the students and teachers really have worked so hard,” Ms Rayner said. The Patch Primary School planted over 2000 indigenous plant species within the school. The plants extended wildlife corridors, connected earlier plantings to provide continu-

Clear woods please Wood By Peter Douglas

12331631-CG47-16

LA TROBE MP Jason Wood and Yarra Ranges Shire’s new mayor, Noel Cliff, were among the dignitaries present to celebrate a successful weed-reduction program. Over the past 12 months, members of the Community Weed Alliance of the Dandenongs (CWAD) have worked diligently to reduce a significant weed problem along the waterways of the Dandenongs. This has included at the Cuckoo Restaurant, which has worked collaboratively with CWAD. Along with Mr Wood and Cr Cliff, 12 members of CWAD enjoyed a buffet lunch at the Cuckoo Restaurant. Cuckoo Restaurant General Manager Emile Nicholas said they were appreciative of the efforts. “Over many months, come rain, hail or shine, this wonderful team presented at the Cuckoo and worked towards weed eradication,” she said. “From the outset, (we’ve) recognised the importance of protecting the fragile eco-environment.” Only one year earlier, CWAD Project Co-ordinator Jane Hollands contacted Ms Nicholas to discuss the issues of noxious weeds, specifically

Jason Wood, centre, with members of the Community Weed Alliance of the Dandenongs. 162018 the ivy that is taking over the native flora and fauna in the Dandenongs. Mr Nicholas then met with environment expert Darcy Duggan, who eventually coordinated the restaurant’s weedmanagement plan. Mr Duggan conducted an extensive survey, including GPS mapping, before producing an action plan. Meanwhile, Mr Wood thanked the Cuckoo Restaurant for allowing CWAD to help clear the weeds. “There are some very large

properties in the Dandenongs and this is a huge task for any property owner, and the Alliance,” Mr Wood said. CWAD regularly doorknocks and works with property owners along creeklines; as part of the containment strategy to stop the spread of ivy, sycamores and various weeds along streams. With the opportunity for further federal and local government funding assistance, CWAD said they had a five-year plan to realistically contain the spread of weeds.

YARRA Valley photographers Kim Wormald, Greg Carrick and Joy Phillips, come at their craft from very different perspectives, but fuse them together and you have a collection of works that are not only stunningly beautiful, but innovative, creative and exciting. ‘Fusion - Nature Through the Lens’ opened at Mont De Lancey Historic Homestead in Wandin on Saturday, 12 November. The artists have taken inspiration from the natural world around them. Kim is an award-winning, ethical bird photographer, producing pure images of birds in their natural habitat that highlight the detail of their plumage and personalities. Listed in the International Who’s Who of Nature Photographers, her images have

received multiple national and international awards. “I love the fine detail that can be savoured in high definition images,” Kim said. That detail is exemplified not only in the intricate feather patterns, but in details as fine as a glint in the eye or tiny hairs and a thread of saliva, gleaming in the light, between open beak of an eagle. Greg’s works are about transforming life photos into evocative memories. Many have found their genesis in the 2009 bushfires, others draw their inspiration from childhood experiences, such as bathing boxes along the beach. “It’s about capturing memories, looking back and creating a more one-dimensional work that reflects your memory of a place in time,” Greg said of those particular works. Joy combines both natural photography and manipulated

pieces to create artworks with a story. A number of the works in the Fusion exhibition are from her Kaleidescope series, creating an abstract image of colour and shape, often the unexpected and delightful product of happenstance. A photo of a tree branch taken at night becomes ‘Desert Portal’, a mushroom is inspiration for ‘Luminstool’, both evocative pieces with equally evocative and intriguing stories that invite you to create your own story around the images. All the works are framed and available for sale. The exhibition runs until Sunday, 11 December, Wednesday to Sunday between 10am and 4pm. Phone 5964 2088. Mail journalist/photographer, Kath Gannaway, had the privilege and pleasure of officially opening the exhibition.

They have a large deck from which you can hear the river flow by, the kookaburras laugh and the breeze blow through the 100-year-old oak tree that shades the deck.

They are very excited about all that this part of the world has to offer and would love to introduce themselves and show you around their beautiful 22-room accommodation property. The restaurant is open to the pubic Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for lunch and at all other times for group reservations and functions.

For dessert, there are individual Christmas puddings with ‘bloody shiraz gin’ ice cream. Also available is a Christmas barbecue menu, which includes a large range of mains and salads. On offer are teriyaki chicken kebabs, sticky pork ribs and much more. For dessert, why not try a summer berry and rhubarb crumble, or orange almond cake with whipped ricotta.

Dean’s emotional centur y By Ian Harley FTGDCA A DAY after attending his father’s funeral, Dean Palandri marked the occasion by hitting an emotion-filled century for St John’s Tecoma against Johnson Park in DeCoite Shield. As a sign of respect, the Sharks also wore black armbands for Mike Palandri, who passed away last week. The Sharks took two early wickets to have the Saints 2/6 when Palandri strode to the crease, joining Andrew Evans (55). Five partners and 71 overs later, Palandri completed his century in front of his mother and family. He was dismissed for 105 with the score on 219, before the Saints finished the day on 9/244. Liyan deSilva (4/33) and Ben Stallworthy (4/66) did the job for the Sharks, while Bryn Gaunt suffered a dental injury when completing a catch. In other DeCoite games, Lysterfield made 269 against South Belgrave with opposing skippers Nathan Walsh (68) and Aaron Suckling (5/89) imposing themselves on the game. FTG Footballers were dismissed for 165 by Knoxfield with Luke Scanlan claiming four wickets, while Olinda was bowled out for 178 by Rowville. In Norm Reeves Shield, Knoxfield hosted Upwey in a top-of-the-table clash. The Tigers batted the day to finish on 8/272. Darren Spence (87) and Quenten Wells (74) led the way with Cameron Wheeler (39) scoring some late runs. The Knights will have to bat all day to take the points in this game. Monbulk made a solid show, setting Knox Gardens 262. Uzair Alam (85) and Daniel Clarke (77) proved to be the best bats for the Hawks, while Zac Flintoff’s five wickets kept the Falcons in the game. Feathers will fly next week in pursuit of the six points. Monto Perera took four wickets as Eildon Park bowled The Basin out for 158. Jake Best (46) and Josh Lee (30) were the top scorers for the Bears on the day, although Eildon Park did not have it all their own way, finishing on 2/27. At HV Jones Reserve, Moun-

tain Gate made 160 against Ferntree Gully on the back of Clint Buckland’s 44 and Luke Bowyers 41. For the Blues, Bryce Galvin had his best return of the season taking 4/37 and Ryan Handley celebrated his return with three wickets. Leading into next week, Ferntree Gully is 0/34. Doug Oaten (80) stepped up for Belgrave, helping them to 9/244 against Upper Ferntree Gully at Belgrave Recreation Reserve. Rob Birnie’s four wickets was the best return for the Kings, which will be looking to redeem themselves after last week’s collapse.

Motoring Spend road dollars here rotting roads to be fixed, Daniel Andrews and his Labor Government continue to ignore our region,â&#x20AC;? Ms McLeish said. Ms McLeish said the Andrews Labor government would spend $1.8 billion to build what it calls â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new high quality roadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; throughout Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western suburbs.

All Revved Up

Great service keeps you going WITH decades of experience and a fantastic new premises at their disposal, the team at Valley Central Automotive have all your needs covered. Business partners Robert Sharp and Jason Rouget have joined forces to offer the region a great service. Robert is an award-winning, former franchisee of Ultra Tune in Lilydale and Chirnside Park; while Jason was the owner and operator of Wandin Motors. Their new location includes a fantastic new workshop and waiting area, while courtesy vehicles are on offer for their customers.

Together, the trusted operators pride themselves on offering professional services such as mechanical servicing, roadworthy testing, and tyres and wheel alignments. The local team isn’t afraid to go that extra mile to keep their customers satisfied, which is why they offer free pick-up and delivery within the local area (inquire about courtesy vehicles). Robert said both he and Jason had worked hard to build a trusted reputation in the Yarra Valley. “We have a strong history and focus on great customer

service,” he said. “We treat every car as if it was our mother’s vehicle. “We are honest and offer complete vehicle condition reports.” In addition to car servicing, they also offer fleet and light truck servicing. Opening hours are Monday to Friday between 8am and 5.30pm; with Saturday by appointment. Valley Central Automotive is located at (rear) 652 Warburton Highway, Seville. For more information, contact (03) 5964 2177.
