Mount Evelyn couple Ali and Lis hit television screens at 7.30pm, on Tuesday 12 June, on Channel Nine, taking a starring role in the new program 'Buying Blind'. After applying to join the show and signing on just six months ago, the couple agreed to put their ambitions to enter the housing market in the hands of three professionals - which is the 'hook' of the show. Although Lis admitted it had been a huge leap of faith, local audiences now had the opportunity to join them on their journey. "Although we felt very vulnerable at times, we can sit back now and see that it is all worth it," Lis said. "There were concerns about our budget and what it could deliver; it was hard, there were plenty of rollercoasters. "What you get with us is what you see on television. We're a busy family and have a lot to juggle." Lis said the Channel Nine crew had been extremely supportive throughout the process, helping them to navigate their first-time in be-

coming reality television stars. She said their application to join the show had come from genuine frustration at getting into the local housing market. Their ambition was to secure a property that was big enough for their family of five (they have three young girls) and was near to their children's school. "We had spent about one year going out to homes and looking for homes and looking online," Lis said. "We had contemplated buying an older home and renovating, but with three kids and work commitments it was just impossible. "Our family thought we were crazy, but we're all really happy with how it's turned out." 'Buying Blind' follows experts who work together on their quest to find and transform properties that satisfy each couple's dream. The experts include buyer's agent, Rich Harvey, interior designer Shayanna Blaze, and builder Marshall Keen.

Sensory garden growing By Kyra Gillespie Emerald Secondary College students have been busy creating unique artworks to help peers with learning difficulties. With the help of artist Jane Bennetts-Brown, and a generous State Government and Creative Learning grant, Year 10 and 12 VCAL students have been using recycled metal to create artwork for a sensory garden. Sensory gardens are popular with and beneficial to adolescents, especially those who have sensory processing issues, including autism and other disabilities. The pieces will play with the visual and auditory senses in a tactile way and be located around the inclusion and learning centre. Emerald Secondary College Wellbeing Leader, Felicity Wooden, said the students came up with the innovative idea. "The students have been creating something beautiful out of something people view as rubbish to explore the concept that beauty and value is in everything and everyone," Ms Wooden said. "These pieces will celebrate the diversity of our students, show beauty where it may not have originally be seen, and utilise nature to create movement and sound." Creating art out of items donated by the community, the students are learning to experiment with materials, create designs and expand their imagination. "This garden is designed with the purpose of stimulating the senses, which is achieved through plants and the use of materials that engage one's sense of sight, smell, touch, taste and sound," Ms Wooden said. "The sensory garden will be accessed as a calming place, somewhere the students can stimulate their senses in a relaxing and gentle way. They can get stimulation required by exploring their senses without feeling overwhelmed. "For students who are not on the spectrum, the garden will be used as an educational tool to learn about senses, they will be encouraged to interact with the garden through smell, taste and touch."

New classroom and centre proves a boon Feedback sought on garden site Students at Belgrave South Primary School will soon benefit from a new classroom and community centre. Monbulk MP and Minister for Education, James Merlino, on Friday 8 June announced Belgrave South Primary School will receive $200,000 to build the new, modern outdoor classroom and community centre. The Community House building will also be removed as part of the upgrade. The classroom is Stage 4 of the school's regeneration and will comprise a learning centre and community space focused on horticulture and biological science. The local Scout group will also have access to the new classroom and community centre for their activities. Mr Merlino said it was a fantastic development. "It's exciting to see Belgrave South Primary School get the funding it needs to give students and the local community access to absolutely top-notch learning facilities," he said. "This upgrade is about more than giving students the first-rate school facilities to learn in - it is about building community pride in a great lo-

Belgrave South Primary School will use the space to support classes on biodiversity, sustainability, permaculture and self-sufficiency, including a new harvest-to-table education program deliverd in partnership with local community groups.

The upgrade will also boost the school's hospitality program, with the school restaurant using produce grown by students in the surrounding gardens. The community will also be able to use the space for workshops, meetings and local projects.

Knox City Council is urging residents and ratepayers to make their views known on the future of the iconic Knox Community Gardens and Vineyard site in Boronia. Included as part of the strategic master plan for Lewis Park, the site is home to the Knox Community Gardens and a separate previously leased vineyard. Knox City Council Mayor, Cr John Mortimore, said the site has abundant but as-yet unrealised potential as a public space. Council has identified three proposed concept options for its future use. Consultation on the options via an online survey is open between 13 June and 12 July. Visit www.knox.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay.

Daring to dream pays off By Derek Schlennstedt Mount Evelyn student Fiona Spence has been honoured for her academic achievements and outstanding work ethic at the 2018 TAFE NSW Excellence Awards. Ms Spence studied a Diploma of Screen and Media after she took a break from fulltime work to raise her young family of four children. From 50,000 students, Ms Spence was one of nine selected and took out the student 2018 Creative and Innovation Award. Speaking to the 'Mail', she said it was a sur-

prise to receive the award. Ms Spence hoped that it would send a message to other women with families, that they don't have to give up on study or their dreams when raising a family. "For me it's a great achievement ... I wasn't able to finish my education so this is a really big thing for me," Ms Spence said. Ms Spence started her studies online in 2016, which offered her the flexibility to study at her own pace while raising four children and building her own marketing and design business testifystudio.com.

"I started with a Certificate IV and went past that and went onto the diploma program and I am looking to use that as pathway to university as mature age student,' she said. "I just want to remind women if they are thinking of studying there really is no barrier, as long as you put in the effort the rewards are far greater than you can imagine ... you're not just a mum to four kid you have so many things to offer. "Find where your strengths are and find a niche in your community." TAFE Digital General Manager, Megan Aitken, presented Ms Spence with the prestigious

Creative and Design Ideation Student of the Year Award at a gala ceremony at Turner Hall, Sydney, where she commended her for being a dedicated and hard-working student, and great role model for her family, friends and local community. "Ms Spence studied a Diploma of Screen and Media after she took a break from fulltime work to raise her young family," Ms Aitken said. "She has successfully established herself as a writer, online content producer, influencer and is a passionate advocate for further education as a mature aged student."

Searching for their lightbulb moment By Derek Schlennstedt A little nous is all that's required at this year's annual Mount Evelyn Ideas Night, which is taking place on Wednesday 27 June. Each year, the Mount Evelyn Township Group holds the night which offers the chance for community groups, local organisations and residents to unite, collaborate and discuss future changes. Tim Herlihy, treasurer of the Township Group, said it was about creating a dialogue for groups in the community to come together and chat about what they are doing, as well as putting forward ideas. "It's an opportunity for Mount Evelyn resi-

dents, traders, sporting clubs, scouts, the RSL, schools churches and various community groups to come together once a year and say what they are doing and what they plan to do," Mr Herlihy said. "Others can see what's happening and if they see something that's along the lines of what they are doing or already doing, they can form partnerships or have a conversation." The ideas nights, which was previously called planning night, is held annually and numerous successful projects have originated from previous meetings. "It's easy to forget how so many things in Mount Evelyn came to be," Mr Herlihy said.

"More recent initiatives such as the community garden, which is situated on the grounds of the Yarra Hills Secondary College, was one individual idea that has since taken off. "The Mount Evelyn improvement Committee was the one behind the original security cameras being implemented in Mount Evelyn ... that came out of previous meetings." The night is free and catered, though residents are urged to RSVP beforehand. The evening takes place from 5pm, on Thursday 27, June, at Yarra Hills Secondary Performing Arts Centre. For more information, and to RSVP, visit https://mtevelynideasnight2018.eventbrite. com.au.

Police warrant Police seized a car boot full of drugs and arrested a 44-year-old man after a warrant in Kilsyth on June 12. Uniform police from Knox, Boronia and Rowville executed a search warrant at a Lobosco Court address shortly before 12pm. A search of the address soon located a Holden Statesman parked at the back of the property with a boot full of a large amount of drugs including hundreds of pills. Police have seized speed, ecstasy, cannabis, prescription drugs and white powders suspected of being heroin, cocaine and amphetamine.

On Tuesday 5 June, several police units responded to a report of a stolen truck. After a short pursuit, police deployed 'Stop Sticks' on the corner of Monbulk-Seville Road and Link Road in Silvan, which brought the vehicle to a halt. A 17-year-old male and a 16-year-old female were arrested and later charged with theft of a motor car. Though, Belgrave members also identified a third suspect, a guinea pig, who tried to hide in a back pack, but couldn't get away. Sen Constable Claire Steven described it as "the prettiest, cutest and quickest suspect she has had to catch in her career".Highway Patrol report A 39 -year-old male driver was detected speeding at 130 km/h in a 100 km/h zone along Wellington Road, Menzies Creek. He was issued with a penalty notice for $436 and incurred four demerit points. His licence was suspended for one month. About 4.30pm on Friday 4 June, Knox Highway Patrol members observed the driver of a white Holden utility intentionally lose traction while accelerating heavily on Stud Rd, near Ferntree Gully Rd, in Scoresby. The 18-year-old male driver was intercepted and spoken to in relation to numerous offences. His vehicle was impounded on the spot for 30 days at a cost of $878. He will be charged on summons with driving whilst suspended, careless driving, improper use of a motor vehicle and breaching a licence condition.

NEWS Q&A with Sean Campbell, funeral conductor and arranger at Le Pine Funerals, Ferntree Gully

What is something people generally don’t know about you? I’ve arranged over 1000 funerals in nine and half years, but on personal note, I used to sell Tupperware when I was a stay-at-home dad. What event, past, present or future would you like to witness? The next Carlton premiership, which may be well into the future the way we’re going. What was the first, or the best film, you have seen? My favourite is the Shawshank Redemption. What is your favourite television show? Modern Family. What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? It would have to be my wife, my mum and dad ... I lost my dad and it’d be nice to have him back there; Bruce Springsteen, Billy Connolly and Julia Roberts. Which object that you’ve lost do you wish

you still had? It’s a beanie; I’m bald which you can see from the picture and I used to have a Rip Curl beanie which I had for 15 years and one day I left it on the train from the football and lost it. Since then, I’ve never found another one that I’ve been happy with. How do you handle the emotions of the job?

You certainly have to seek a fair bit of support from work colleagues and share a lot with them and talk with them a lot. Outside of work time, I appreciate a lot more the family time and limited time you have here. It can all change in the blink of an eye. What is the most difficult part of being a funeral director? Probably just when they hit close to home, services for young people and suicide. It does make you think how lucky you are and how unlucky you can be. By the same token, it’s incredibly rewarding to help people at such a time and get them through what can be a terrible time and also celebrate the life of their loved one and help them with their grief. What are you working on right now? We participate with a winter warmers appeal, so that is in conjunction with Anglicare, and we’re asking for donation of warm clothed coats, beanies and scarves they can be dropped off at the Ferntree Gully Le Pine office.

Ideas to boost the house By Peter Douglas Cash prizes are on offer for ideas that could help to revitalise the waning Cockatoo Neighbourhood House. After the much-loved community asset announced its closure in October last year, Cardinia Shire had promised to help stakeholders develop a new operating model to ensure programs and services could continue. An independent consultant, the Cockatoo community, council and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) are all behind the renewed drive. The first initiative has been to launch a feedback process, during which the brightest ideas could win entrants a voucher of $100 (first place), $50 (second place) or $25 (third place). Cardinia Shire Ranges Ward councillor, Cr Leticia Wilmot, said the agency partners recognise the importance of this service and are committed to working closely within the community on the revitalisation project. "As a Cockatoo community member myself, I can attest to how much our community values community programs and the Neighbourhood House is a very important asset for delivering these," Cr Willmot said. "Council and DHHS, with the support of ECHO Youth and Family Services, have ensured the facility remains open, so that essential programs and services continue to be delivered. "I would like to thank the community members who have been involved in keeping it afloat and encourage the broader community to get involved in this next exciting stage to revitalise this important service." A design reference group has been established, comprising community representatives and agency professionals - working alongside council, DHHS, and independent consultants Foresight Lane - to seek community input into the future operating model.

Annie White and Hanny Schoen last year expressed their fears for the Cockatoo Neighbourhood House. 168356 Picture: BONNY BURROWS

Ranges Ward councillors Jeff Springfield and Brett Owen have encouraged local community members to get involved and have their say. "Cockatoo, this is your chance to actually shape the future of a much-loved community asset - to really make it your own. All ideas, great or small, are valuable and will help in identifying how the neighbourhood house can become an active, vital community service for years to come," Cr Brett Owen said. The announcement comes after last No-

vember Cardinia Shire confirmed funding had ceased for the neighbourhood house. The shire annually funds the Cardinia Shire neighbourhood house cluster, which comprises eight neighbourhood houses around the municipality. Though, these neighbourhood houses are bound to meet the requirements of Cardinia Shire's 'funding and service agreement'. The shire contends that Cockatoo Neighbourhood House had failed to meet this agreement.

Courses were to continue to run for the remainder of last year and into early this year. Meanwhile, community members can have their say before 5pm on Friday 29 June and get more information at www.cardinia,vic.gov.au/ haveyoursay. Additionally, the most voted ideas submitted on the OurSay forum will be in with a chance to win one of three prizes at www.oursay.org/cardinia/neighbourhoodhouse-cockatoo.

LETTERS Whistleblowers are the bravest of the brave

Powering on in solar push A team of riders representing Dandenong Ranges Renewable Energy Association recently held its third 'Ride for Solar' to promote the merits of solar power and renewable energy. On the ride from Belgrave to Federation Square, the group advertised solar power's three benefits: It provides clean energy, cuts power bills and generates jobs. DRREA President, Peter Cook, said "it is

great to see local businesses installing large solar systems to reduce their power bills and to help the environment. For example, in Ferntree Gully, three businesses that deserve congratulations are Maxi Supermarket, Natures Organics and Tasty Trucks". "To us all, they are pioneers that have set a good example to their local community," Mr Cook said.

End trade for good

Due to the bravery of a whistleblower, who risked his job and life, '60 Minutes' were, once again, able to expose the brutality and horror of the live animal export trade. The very worst of the footage could not be shown. That was a few weeks ago now, but l think it is vital that we do not allow such treatment of our animals to go under the radar. There are double standards at play and huge profits are being made at the expense of gentle, voiceless animals. This profit (trade, economy or call it what you will) is 'blood' money. If we were to treat our domestic pets so appallingly, it would be deemed a criminal offence and warrant a prison sentence. Our government and live export industry must, therefore, be held to account. It only takes a few minutes to email a local MP, the Minister of Agriculture and/or the Minister for Trade. By voicing our strong objections to the live export trade, we are helping to support Animals Australia for the tireless work they are doing. As (regular 'Mail' letter-writer) Jenny Moxham said recently, there is no humane way of transporting thousands of animals on one ship to another country without inflicting pain, stress, suffering and always the inevitable death of many. I believe in justice and feel deeply for any innocent souls who become the victims of another's exploitation, abuse and indifference. The live export trade and all it represents is a sad reflection on our society today and on the morals behind such trading practices. It is archaic and has no place in our time. In fact, l hope it will soon be relegated to the history books and that tomorrow's children will be horrified to read at what we, as a 'peaceful' society, allowed to happen. Indifference is a killer. Please offer your support. Pauline Hosking, Monbulk

We must end the live expert trade, once and for all. Regardless of whether we choose to eat meat or not, it is impossible to ignore the cruelty and suffering inflicted on intelligent animals, due to this barbaric and archaic practice. Lambs wag their tails when excited, and sheep are capable of forming strong friendships, and learning their own name. Not so different from our beloved family pets. The momentum is building strongly; we all need to get behind this in any way we can. Liz Arnold, Emerald

History of the hills By Derek Schlennstedt A Yarra Ranges Council meeting on 5 June to determine the future of the old DRERS building saw numerous submissions put forward to retain and rejuvenate the site as an information centre. At the meeting, the significance of its historical value was highlighted. The building, which was built in 1920, acted as a Belgrave Grammar school, as well as a antenatal clinic in its formative years. Though, on March 10, 2018, Yarra Ranges Council gave public notice of its intention to sell the property located next to Book Barn in Belgrave. Inviting public submission until 13 April, council received nine written submissions, with eight of those objecting to the proposal to sell the property. Speaking to councillors on 5 June, Betty Marsden, representing the Save The Dandenongs League, urged them to reconsider the selling of the site in order "to keep some of the old Belgrave alive". "It's been there for nearly 90 years and reasonably attractive ... It's been used by the Grammar school first of all, which we were told Professor Manning Clarke's sister was supposed to have attended and there's very little of the old Belgrave still remaining. "The tin shed and Grammar school are all that's left of old Belgrave." While the site was nominated for consideration in a Heritage study in 2000, it was considered insufficiently significant to be included. The site is located within a Commercial 1 zoning and abuts Burwood Highway, causing concerns that it may be demolished upon being sold. Susan Heywood-Downward, President at Dandenong Ranges Historical Council, spoke at the meeting on the possibility of re-purpos-

A centre for excellence

Footballers from the Yarra Ranges and outer east will have a hub for education and development next year, with construction tenders for the Kilsyth Centre of Excellence out on the market. The $2.95 million Centre of Excellence, to be constructed at the Kilsyth Recreation Reserve, is a project being delivered by Yarra Ranges Council in partnership with the AFL, the Federal Government and State Government. When completed in late 2019, the centre will benefit all levels of Australian Rules, offering a home for education programs, coach and player development, an AFL Youth Girls Academy and an administrative base for AFL Yarra Ranges. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Dr Len Cox, said the project would be a boost for sport in the Yarra Ranges and a destination for aspiring football players in the area. "Learning to play football is a fantastic and memorable pastime for so many young men and women in the Yarra Ranges, one that's taken some of our residents to elite levels of Susan Heywood-Downard (left) and Marian Matta in front of the old Belgrave Grammar School which the sport, such as the AFL Women's League," Yarra Council amy sell. 181696 Cr Cox said.

Council footing bill again By Peter Douglas, Kath Gannaway For the second time in just over three months, Yarra Ranges Council has approved additional funding to balance a shortfall for a major project. In March, council approved more than $3 million in further funds for the Civic Centre redevelopment. Yarra Ranges Council, at its 12 June meeting, now has backed an additional $400,000 to continue the anticipated Monbulk Community Sports Pavilion project. The project went out to tender last year, with four companies all coming in above budget. Ultimately, in addition to its initial $1 million commitment, council will put up the additional $400,000, which will see Rodine Australia Pty Ltd construct the project for almost $3.5 million. Deputy Mayor, Cr Tony Stevenson, said council owed it to the community to see the project through to completion. "This project has been years in the planning; these things don't just happen overnight. There has been a lot of work by the community," Cr Stevenson said. "$200,000 has been raised by the community; the community has played a very important role." Cr Stevenson noted that in November, $1 million was confirmed through the Victorian Government's Growing Suburbs fund. He said all involved have tried to ensure a cost-effective project. "We have still reached a point where corners have had to be but, but the building has not been compromised," Cr Stevenson said. "It came as quite a shock to very experienced people involved (with council), who had never seen tenders come in so far above the budget ... the gap between the budget set and when it went out to tender. "I think we have to help Monbulk ... it

Cr Fiona McAllister has spoken out about a theme of projects coming in above budget. was a pretty good effort for Monbulk to raise $200,000. In the long-term, it will return to us." Speaking on behalf of the Monbulk and District Community Opportunities Workinggroup (MADCOW), President Aimee te Boekhorst said the project deserved council support. "The community project has been in the making for over seven years. It is a very needed and very welcome addition to our town," she said. "The whole Monbulk community has worked hard together to raise an incredible $200,000 towards the building and will also be contributing further in terms of fit-out. "This facility will not only support the football, netball and cricket club, it supports community events through its large function room

and commercial kitchen." Ms te Boekhorst said, once complete, the facility will support the development of girls', and eventually women's, football. "We have demonstrated the interest of usage by over 20 local groups. Since we started talking about this project, it has been a buzz in the town," she said. "This has been a journey for our town and we are just looking forward to bringing this change." Despite the positivity surrounding the project, councillors Fiona McAllister and Jim Child, although supporting the motion, questioned another project coming in above budget. Cr McAllister said she needed her objection to be heard, citing the Civic Centre shortfall. "This is the second time in as many months

an item asking for 10% over what it is budgeted for. It disturbs me greatly," Cr McAllister said. "We can justify it away, but we have a policy and we make decisions about how we spend money. "I think, this trend, we need to find a way where we don't have these projects coming back to us and asking for an additional 10%." Cr Child said he would be voting for the motion, too, but agreed with Cr McAllister. "We are in a space where construction costs are accelerating all the time, but I think when we go out to tender ... we probably have to look at this in a better way," Cr Child said. Cr McAllister, at council's Tuesday 27 March meeting, voted against the increase in budget for the Civic Centre works. At the time, she said the extra funds should be viewed in terms of how it could be used to help the community. "While I think, in the scheme of things, $2 to $3 million doesn't sound like much, but I think about the bang for our buck we get from investing back into our community," Cr McAllister said. Concerns about a Civic Centre blow-out were raised back in December 2017, with Cr Tim Heenan flagging that possibility. "I just hope it will be value for money and the community space and office space will serve its purpose well into the future," Cr Heenan said. Initial budget funding sources for Monbulk Community Sports Pavilion: Yarra Ranges Council - $1,000,411; Federal Government - The Community Development Grant Program ($600,000); State Government - Growing Suburbs Fund ($1,000,000); State Government - Community Sports Infrastructure Fund Election Commitments ($600,000); Monbulk Recreation Reserve Development Group ($200,000).

BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE

12391317-RA26-18

Ring Terry Miller direct for the the best best prices prices

With Winter Rains still to come, it’s time to catch it, order and build your concrete tank NOW!!!

Ph. 0260 267 021 Concrete tanks built correctly will last a life time! Terry Miller has been in the concrete tank building business for over 30 years. Being from country North East Victoria himself, Barnawartha, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems. Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because the tanks have 5-inch walls and a six-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30 mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. And after 28 days curing the strength of the concrete will be between 48 and 52 mpa. And each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength in the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tank are vibrated all around to ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000, 105,000 and 120,000 either with a silo roof, concrete top or open top tanks. The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, and this is particularly important in areas where there is high wind, or fire prone districts. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, homes can be kept cool and wet. Or if need be, the tank can be used as protection to keep cool from flames and radiant heat. Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it! So for all your water storage needs when you are thinking of installing your next tank, please call Terry for a quote on 1800 267 696 or check out our website, www.terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au. And in light of fire prone districts, we can highly recommend if you are considering your own on site water, choose a well constructed concrete water tank, as tin and plastic tanks will melt during fires!

ENTERTAINMENT

A passion for all to see By Derek Schlennstedt Silvan artist Tania Chanter is taking her first steps as a professional artist by exhibiting her paintings at various cafes around the hills. Relatively new to the art, Ms Chanter had never really taken to creative art, or painting and said she'd never considered herself very good at it. Though, it was only when she tried painting with her family that she found her new passion. "It's quite interesting, I had absolutely no idea I was going to get into art," she said. "I started when I was six and pretty much took a 43-year hiatus ... I never imagined I would get into It as I've never been any good at drawing. "One of my sons decided to do some painting, so we all got some painting gear, sat outside under an oak tree and started painting. "The boys finished one painting each, but I became completely obsessed and never stopped." The rest is history, as they say, and ever since Ms Chanter has been painting vigorously. Though she hasn't found her particular genre yet, she does find a lot of inspiration for her painting from the surrounding landscape in the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley. "At the moment, I am experimenting with a variety of landscapes, and floral items; generally some abstract landscapes, that's probably what I enjoy at the moment," she said. Since starting, she taken her first steps into exhibiting, with works exhibiting at Kallista Tea House from June to the end of July and Round Bird Can't Fly in Lilydale from July to August.

Artist Tania Chanter, form Silvan, with an array of her work which is being exhibited currently at Kallista tea House. Speaking about exhibiting, and the daunting task of taking her first professional steps in the industry, Ms Chanter had a message for others who might feel the same.

"What this has proved to me more than anything is that you can only limit yourself ... I had no idea I was going to paint or enjoy painting but everyone should try it," she said.

Patronage increase is a win for events By Derek Schlennstedt Yarra Ranges Council has unanimously supported a decision that will no longer see the Burrinja Cultural Centre patronage restricted to a maximum of 300 people. The decision will see the construction of 29 additional parking spaces, on top of the already 155 spaces, and the removal of 19 trees. Currently a permit set forth by Council in 2007 restricts the number of patrons able to use the auditorium to a maximum of 300; though, an exception allowed it to be increased to 400 for 15 events throughout the year. The condition also restricts the total number of people to the venue to 517. At the Council meeting on 12 June, councillors unanimously agreed to amend the current permit and allow an increase in patronage of

up to 400 people 64 times a year, and a total number of 615 people permitted on the site at one time. This, councillors deemed, was "an acceptable outcome and would enable the facility to properly cater to the needs of the community particularly local schools". Speaking to the 'Mail', Executive Director at Burrinja, Dr Ross Farnell, said the need to increase the patronage allowance grew out of a necessity to cater to local primary schools that regularly held events with patronage numbering over 500. "The Issue is primary schools usually have a high number of performers on one night and if you have a lot of performers in that limitation of 517 people we can only sell so many seats to parents," he said. "At the end of the day, we have a fantas-

tic community asset here, but for school and dance schools we have to tell them yes, you can but you can only use two thirds of it and for some that's not viable. "So they go elsewhere." Cr Mike Clarke said that many negotiations had taken place between Burrinja and residents to ensure that all concerns were addressed regarding overflow parking for large events. "There has been a lot of negotiations to get the balance right," Cr Clarke said. "It is a waste when there is a strong demand from the community to use the facility and we currently have to turn people away." Speaking to Council at the meeting, Mr Farnell advised that; "The majority of events will be existing events that will have the ability to increase seats sold".

And the lanterns light up to fill the night By Derek Schlennstedt The 12th annual Belgrave Lantern parade is just around the corner and you can be a part of all the action (Saturday 23 June). Each year, the festival has attracted thousands of people keen lighting the night. This year is no different, with the festival promising bigger and better lanterns then in previous years. The event is expected to bring 10,000 people or more to the Belgrave township and as you could imagine with an event of such magnitude a large amount or organising and help is required to ensure the parade runs smoothly. Lantern Co-ordinator, Renate Crowe, said the entire event hinges on the volunteers who do a variety of jobs in the lead-up to the event and during the festival. These jobs include carrying lanterns, directing traffic and helping put out signs and Renate said that often the volunteer get the best view of the parade. "It would be great to have some help," Renate said. 18 MAIL

Build your own lantern for the Belgrave Lantern festival which takes place on June 23. Pictures: DEREK SCHLENNSTEDT "On the night is probably where our greatest need is at the moment but we could also use some help putting up signs. "On the festival night we'll need some lanteneers to carry lanterns, especially some of our big stock lanterns such as the big cockatoo, with articulating wings. "One of the other jobs that is quite impor-

tant is being a martial down the centre of the road ... you help to guide people in the parade and you get the best seat in the house, we want people who do volunteer to also dress up with fairy lights and colour." People attending are also urged to take public transport if possible, and Renate said that those catching the train often transform the carriages into a mini festival. "It's funny sometime getting up to Belgrave on the train is often more fun than the actual parade ... the train is always chokkas full of kids, lanterns and it's like a little festival on the train," she said. Of course, with 10,000 people descending on Belgrave it's also important that rubbish is disposed of properly and if not then it is taken home with you. To register interest in becoming a volunteer, simply send a private message to the Belgrave Lantern Parade Facebook page, which is publicly accessible to anyone. Otherwise email celebrate@belgravelanterns.org.au.

"Don't be held back by your own fear, as you may find that you love it and can do it." To see more of her work, go to www. tania. chanter.com.

Secrets and pastry in film The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Starring Lily James and Michiel Huisman Rated PG Adapted from the novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society follows Juliet Ashton (Lily James), a writer who, in 1946, investigates the island of Guernsey, a British territory that fell under German occupation during the Second World War. The performances are excellent, James is a sensitive, deeply charismatic lead, and the film subverts its cozy small-island ambience with an intriguing mystery plot. In her research, Juliet uncovers scandalous secrets about the island's past under Nazi occupation. These revelations are steadily-paced and challenge our assumptions, casting the characters in new, morally grey lights and revealing compassion and prejudice in unexpected places. The film elegantly illustrates how good things can emerge from crisis and pain can last long after the conflict is over. My only issue with Guernsey concerns some unbalanced narrative threads. The literary society of the title, established as a ritual of comfort and private resistance by the islanders, serves as little more than a jumping-off point for the mystery story. Juliet develops a gratifying, trusting friendship with Dawsey Adams (Michiel Huisman), the society's founder, but their eventual romantic connection feels abrupt, and Juliet's running romance with Mark (Glen Powell), her American boyfriend, feels very disconnected from the plot. While its plot needed some trimming, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie society is still a charming drama with poignant depth.

SPORT

Tigers take top of table By Cameron Hutchison Round 8 was played in cold, slippery conditions; all teams and supporters had to dress for wintery conditions. There were some big winners and some surprise losers over the weekend. In Division 1, Upwey-Tecoma have taken over the mantel on top of the ladder with a one-game buffer, snapping at their heels are five sides only one-game shy in equal second spot. In Division 2, Yarra Glen are still undefeated on top, one-and-a-half games clear of the opposition. The Winners in senior football: Emerald, Healesville, Mount Evelyn, Upwey-Tecoma, Woori Yallock, Yarra Glen, Gembrook-Cockatoo, Seville and Yarra Junction. A Grade netball winners: Belgrave, Wandin, Monbulk Hawks, Warburton-Millgrove, Olinda-Ferny Creek, Yea, Kinglake and Yarra Junction. Division 1 Seniors Football Emerald 19.21.135 d Warburton Millgrove 8.7.55 Emerald secured their third win for the season after a big win over Warburton. They got off to a great start, kicking five goals to one in the first and had set the scene for the rest of the day. Warburton came back in the second, but the margin was still 32 points at half-time. Emerald were busy in front of goals in the third, with 12 scoring shots to three and now had an unbeatable lead of 45 points going into the last. They hit the scoreboard with 6.6 to 1.2 in the last to come home comfortable winners. Emerald Best: J. Rich (1 goal), J. Pedder (7 goals), N. Jansen (3 goals), C. Thomsen, A. Quirk (1 goal), G. McCarthy (4 goals) Warburton-Millgrove Best: T. McKail, M. Read, A. White (5 goals), S. Andueza, J. Lee, S. Noonan Healesville 11.21.87 d Monbulk 13.8.86 Healesville have pushed Monbulk back to seventh, while they now share second spot with four other teams but are sixth on percentage. Monbulk certainly started well, kicking 7.2 to 3.7 in the first and at home would have been happy with a 19-point lead at quarter time. Healesville turned it on in the second, holding Monbulk scoreless while they kicked 4.4 to now have the lead at half time by nine points. They extended that to 19 points at the final break and were looking like they were home. Monbulk took control in the last and gained the lead with a few minutes to go. Then, Healesville's Savage stepped in and snapped Healesville's only goal for the quarter, which was enough to give them a one-point win. Healesville Best: N. Mende, J. Savage (2 goals), M. Jeffery (3 goals), C. Adams, L. Daly, T. Costigan Monbulk Best: H. Gordic, C. Griffiths, S. Williams (2 goals), K. Fletcher (2 goals), P. Barge, J. Rak Mt Evelyn 10.12.72 d Olinda Ferny Creek 7.14.56 In the biggest upset of the day, Mount Evelyn found the form they have been looking for against Olinda on Saturday. Mt Evelyn are now level with Olinda on the ladder and are well in the hunt for the final five. The first quarter was a low-scoring affair and goals were hard to come by, but Mt Evelyn had the advantage by seven points. Olinda found the goals in the second, kicking 5.4 to 2.2 to swing it around and take the lead by 13 points going into half time. It was scrappy footy in the third, with only two goals being kicked but Olinda had a 14-point lead as they headed for home. Olinda went to sleep in the last and could only manage one behind while Mt Evelyn blitzed kicking 5.1 to storm home. Mt Evelyn Best: A. Gibbons, T. Scopel, J. Beamish (1 goal), C. Urquhart, B. Lord, M. Condello (2 goals) Olinda Ferny Creek Best: L. Hill, J. Rankin, O. Raszkiewicz, M. Hottes, R. Cottam-Starkey (1 goal), D. Noorda Upwey-Tecoma 20.13.133 d Wandin 9.12.66 Upwey Tecoma are ladder leaders after a polished performance against Wandin. Wandin got the early break kicking 5.3 to 3 straight in the first. Upwey-Tecoma came to play in the second, kicking 8.3 to 3.2 to go into half-time with a 16-point lead. They did not relax in the third and increased their lead to 38-points go22 MAIL

Healesville and Monbulk players were tough in the clinches early.

Woori Yallock dominated Belgrave for most of the afternoon. ing into the last. Wandin could only kick five behinds in the last, while Upwey blazed away with 5.6 to come home big winners. Upwey-Tecoma Best: L. Beacom, D. Waters (7 goals), S. Dawson (1 goal), B. Bantoft, B. Oates (1 goal), K. Grenda Wandin Best: P. Hodgett, H. Byrne (1 goal), J. Byrne, P. Bruzzese (1 goal), B. Harvey, D. Hirst (1 goal) Woori Yallock 17.24.126 d Belgrave 7.4.46 Woori Yallock are sitting in third after holding Belgrave to just 7 goals for the day. They got away early, kicking 5.8 to 1.1 in the first and it looked like a long day for the Magpies. The second quarter was an even 30 minutes, but Woori Yallock had a lead of 42 points at halftime. Woori Yallock had the ball on a string in the third, with 9 scoring shots to 2 and the game was over at three-quarter time. Woori Yallock put the pedal down in the last, kicking 6.3 to 3 straight to be big winners for the day. Woori Yallock Best: A. Marsh (4 goals), J. Matthews (5 goals), K. Thompson, M. Batten (1 goal), J. Smith, J. Adams Belgrave Best: M. Sproules, L. Sproules, H. Byron (1 goal), M. Brown (1 goal), C. Power, M. O'Callaghan Division 2 Seniors Football Yarra Glen 30.14.194 d Thornton Eildon 0.5.5 Yarra Glen have had a percentage boosting win and are still undefeated on top of the ladder. Thornton has been unlucky in their games this season but to their credit continue to fight out the full 120 minutes. Yarra Glen got off to a blinder kicking 10.3 in the first and a lead of 61 points at quarter time. They extended that lead to 105 points at the main break. The lead increased to 134 points at the last break and with a 9-goal last quarter. Yarra Glen Best: R. McDermott (11 goals), D. Hurley (3 goals), J. Clare (1 goal), W. Kristelly (5 goals), J. Donald, L. Telford (2 goals) Thornton Eildon Best: D. Creed, J. Scotland, J. Sloane, R. Andrews, T. Bail, K. Conboy

Gembrook-Cockatoo 8.10.58 d Yea 4.7.31 Gembrook Cockatoo sit fourth, while Yea have dropped to sixth-place after Saturday's result. Gembrook held Yea goalless in the first and had a lead of 19 points at quarter time. The lead extended to 28 points at half-time and Yea were still without any majors. Yea won the third quarter, kicking 3 goals to 2.3 but the margin did not reduce enough to really give them a chance. It was a tough last quarter with only 2 goals being kicked but it was Gembrook's win at the end of 120 minutes. Gembrook Best: T. Lockyer (2 goals), D. Leversha, M. Firrito, C. Bastow, D. South, D. Volta Yea Best: A. McCarthy, J. Ryan, A. McSpeerin, R. Aldous, D. O'Dwyer, N. Beattie Seville 10.21.81 d Kinglake 8.11.59 Seville are outright second on the ladder after a close encounter with the Lakers. Kinglake had the slimmest of leads at quarter time, but Seville were wasteful in front of goal. Kinglake still held the lead at half time by five points, but Seville had had 15 scoring shots to 10 and 12 of them were behinds. They regrouped in the third, kicking 4.6 to 3.2 to arrest the lead by 5 points at the final change. Kinglake could only manage 4 behinds in the last while Seville finally straightened up a bit and kicked 3.3 to come home winners by 22 points. Seville Best: P. Bailey, A. Wind, D. Groen, G. Fraser (1 goal), J. Digiandomenico, J. Neal (4 goals) Kinglake Best: M. McAllister (1 goal), J. Poecher, J. Orchard, B. White, J. Butterworth, J. Hamilton Yarra Junction 16.11.107 d Alexandra 5.8.38 Yarra Junction is sitting third on the ladder and has started to find some form heading into the business end of the season. They got the jump in the first, kicking 4.6 to 1 behind to really have control of this game at the quarter-time break. They piled on 6.2 to 1.3 in the second and went into the main break with a 58-point buffer. The pressure was maintained in the third, with another 6 goals and the lead

was now 93 points. Yarra Junction either ran out of steam or Alexandra got a second wind in the last as the Rebels finished with 4.1 to the Eagles' 1 behind. This is not the way the Eagles team, which are potentially playing in finals, wants to finish off. Luckily for the Eagles, as much as Alexandra tried the margin was too big. Yarra Junction Best: T. Fennell, T. Boxell (3 goals), A. Chandler, N. Walsh (1 goal), J. Holmes (2 goals), D. Brookes Alexandra Best: J. Daniel, J. Steyger (1 goal), C. Heaslip, S. Woollard, M. Whitbourn, B.

Dodge, duck, dip, dive By Derek Schlennstedt Australia has qualified for the second Dodgeball World Cup and Elliot Dawson from Ferntree Gully has been chosen to play. Over 25 countries competed to gain the 10 spots in the 2018 World Cup and the team, nicknamed the Dodgeroos, took out the men's and women's qualifiers at the 2017 Asian Dodgeball Championships held in Kuala Lumpur last year. Speaking to the Mail about the August World Cup in in Madison Square Gardens, New York, Elliot said he was optimistic about the Dodgeroos' chances. "I think we have a fair chance; we are hoping for a top four finish but on the day who knows," he said."We came third, last World Cup, two years ago, and the team has evolved a lot since then so I think we have a fair shot." The last and inaugural World Cup was held two years ago in England and this will be Elliot's second time representing Australia on the international stage, as he also played at the England World Cup. An avid cricketer and bowler in his previous life, Elliot said it was an easy and logical transition to Dodgeball, when he was injured while playing cricket five years ago. Since joining the team, he has become a regular and important member in the international team, as a left wing thrower whose role he described as "standing on the outside and doing most of the throwing". "The whole sport is based around throwing and I spent most of my life throwing for cricket so we switched it across to Dodgeball ... cricket teaches you all the mechanics of a good throw," he said. Since the last World Cup, the game itself has evolved, becoming faster, more tactile and quicker. The competition, both in Australia and internationally, has become better, too,

Australian Dodgeroos team member, Elliot Dawson will travel to New York to compete in the 2018 Dodgeball World Cup. 181870 Picture: ROB CAREW. and Elliot said that broken fingers were a regular occurrence. "People throw at 110km an hour and the courts are pretty tiny," Elliot said. "It's grown a lot tactically and is a lot faster now ... there's a number of different positions

which are more suited to stronger throwers or catchers, and there's tactics around controlling the ball." Twelve of the very finest players from Australia will travel to America in August to play in the World Cup with games lasting 30 minutes.

Ten countries will compete in the final including Australia, USA, Canada, Malaysia, England, Egypt, Austria, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Singapore. To find out more about the sport, or where you can watch the event, visit http://dodgeballfederationaustralia.com.au/.

Have your say on redspots For the first time, RACV has used state-of-theart technology to pinpoint Victoria's 10 most congested roads as part of its biennial Redspot survey. This year, the worst road sections have been revealed, using 14 million separate pieces of date fed constantly from sensors fitted to vehicles. This technology means the 2018 Redspot survey is the most accurate snapshot captured since the survey began in 1991, which, until now, has relied entirely on commuter feedback. The pressure-points revealed are across metro Melbourne and show the average speed drivers travel during peak and off-peak times. In several places, 60kmh zones have been slowed down to a crawl of 20kmh or less during commute peak times. RACV Mobility Advocacy Manager, Dave Jones, said the innovative software analyses the information to create an unprecedented view of Melbourne's traffic. "Melbourne's booming population has changed traffic patterns and now we're able to get a clearer picture of this by using high-tech information. The morning and afternoon peak times have actually expanded under the pressure of growing numbers of drivers," Mr Jones said. "It's no longer peak between 7.30am to 8.30am, and 5pm to 6pm. The morning peak now stretches an additional 90 minutes from 6.30am to 9am, and the afternoon peak runs from 3pm to 6.30pm, adding two-and-a-half hours at the end of the day. "Our analysis highlights the 10 most congested roads but we are keen to hear from commuters to tell us, which of these frustrate them the most," he said. Some of the congested roads have been

Feedback is being sought on our busiest roads. 181953 earmarked for improvements by the State Government. However, impending roadworks will continue to add to delays. Some are slow because they are vibrant shopping strips.

"What we learn from the survey will help us bring issues to the attention of decision-makers, so it's vital we hear from commuters about the problems directly," he said. From 2006-2016, the top Redspot issues identified by the RACV survey has led to govern-

ments spending around $1.2 billion to fix them. Drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, bus and tram users, along with pedestrians, are encouraged to have their say about the 10 most congested roads by visiting www.redspotsurvey.com.au by Monday 2 July.

Jones a starter for show

Just the classics at the famed Motorclassica event. 181886

1187559-RC24-15

Australia's own 1980 World Driver's Champion Alan Jones will celebrate 90 years of the Australian Grand Prix at this year's Motorclassica at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne on 12-14 October. Jones and his father, Stan, are the only father-son combination to have won the Australian Grand Prix in its nine-decade history. "Not enough Australians realise the significance of our Grand Prix event and its rich history," Motorclassica event director, Paul Mathers, said. "It's the second oldest in the world and has been won by some of the most significant racing drivers of the past 100 years, including the likes of our own Jack Brabham and Alan Jones. "I am delighted to be welcoming Alan Jones to Motorclassica and have no doubt his involvement will add real depth to our tribute to the Australian Grand Prix." Motorclassica is Australia's premier collector and classic car and motorcycle event, incorporating the Australian International Concours d'Elegance and - in contrast - the very latest contemporary sports and performance models from the prestige manufacturers. Among the special events planned for the 2018 event is a tribute to Australia's most historic motor race. To celebrate his then-recent win in the World Driver's Championship, Jones brought his title-winning Williams-Cosworth FW07 Formula 1 car to Melbourne's Calder track in November 1980 and dominated the Australian Grand Prix event. Some 21 years earlier, his father, Stan, drove a Maserati to victory in the very same event at Longford (Tasmania). "I am very proud of my achievements in winning the World Driver's Championship, of cours, but winning the Australian Grand Prix is right up there, too, because it's something my father also achieved, and that makes it very special to me," Alan Jones said. "Motorclassica's recognition of the event's importance and history is much appreciated, and I am looking forward to being a part of it and sharing my memories." Alan Jones will make regular appearances on the Motorclassica stage to talk about his father's 1959 Australian Grand Prix victory and his own success in 1980, and more broadly about his Formula 1 career. Motorclassica 2018's tribute to the world's second oldest Grand Prix event, which has run almost continuously since its inception on the closed dirt roads of Phillip Island, in 1928, will include a display of significant cars from those nine decades. Also celebrated at Motorclassica 2018 will be the fabulous cars of the Art Deco era, with a display of these most extravagant of automotive designs. "Motorclassica has always been about a celebration of the motoring lifestyle and we endeavour to broaden that every year to keep the show fresh and widen its appeal," Mr Mathers said. The 2018 Motorclassica tickets are on sale at www.motorclassica.com.au.

Classics rake in the cash An extremely rare GTHO Phase III has broken records, selling for just over $1 million at auction in Bathurst on Saturday 17 June. The rare Ford, once owned by Australian cricketer Jeff Thoson, sold at Lloyds Auctions. Bill Freeman, Head Auctioneer at Lloyds Classic Car Auctions, said the price achieved at auction was a first for Australia. "Now we have taken it into the seven digits, we expect to be inundated by Phase III owners and buyers, which is exciting for all classic car collectors and investors around Australia," Mr Freeman said. Back in 1971, this car could be bought brand new for just over $5000 and now has sold for over $1 million almost 50 years later. Ford wasn't the only Aussie Car to break records, an extremely rare Holden Torana SS A9X GMP&A car, one of only 33, sold for $500,000. "This car was an exciting find; it only has 14kms on it and has been kept in a bricked-up garage for more than 30 years in near brandnew condition," Mr Freeman said. "This sale shows that the buyer interest in Ford and Holden classics is continuing to grow after Australia's car manufacturing closed down continues."

The auction attracted substantial interest.

Million-dollar beauty. The GTHO Phase III broke records.

One of only 33 were made of this particular model of Holden Torana.

This Ford was a real head-turner.

Reversing technology is showing us the way forward New research shows that drivers can dramatically reduce the risk of being involved in a pedestrian crash by using technology such as reversing cameras and sensors. Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Luke Donnellan, last month joined researchers to discuss the potentially life-saving benefits of reversing technology. The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) study, supported by the Victorian Government, Transport Accident Commission (TAC), VicRoads and RACH has found that vehicles with a reversing camera are 41 per cent less likely to be involved in a backover crash. Vehicles with parking sensors are 31 per cent less likely to be involved in a back-over crash. The study considered 3172 pedestrian injuries in New Zealand and Australia's four largest states. While many new vehicles have sensors and cameras fitted as standard, older vehicles can mailcommunity.com.au

be easily retro-fitted with this technology to improve pedestrian safety. Mr Donnellan said this technology saves lives. "Having a rear-reversing camera and sensor installed in your car makes parking and reversing easier for drivers, but it could also save a life or prevent someone from being seriously injured," Mr Donnellan said. TAC Road Safety Lead Director, Samantha Cockfield, said new technologies are one of the initiatives that are helping to reduce deaths and serious injuries on Victoria's roads to zero. Getting safer vehicles onto Victorian roads is a key focus of the Labor Government's Towards Zero Roads Safety Strategy, a $1.3 billion investment to keep people safe on our roads. As part of Towards Zero, the Victorian Government is rolling out its Safer Vehicles and Technology package that will see all government vehicles required to be fitted with the best available safety features, and with a minimum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Reversing technology on modern vehicles is helping to save lives. Tuesday, 19 June, 2018
