OAM for our Len By Derek Schlennstedt There are few people who have given as much back to the Yarra Ranges community as veteran Walling Ward Councillor Len Cox. The enduring Councillor of Yarra Ranges Council was elected to Lilydale Council in 1982 and, except for two years in exile during the amalgamation, has an unbroken record. That record has earned him the title of Yarra Ranges longest-serving Councillor, and to recognise that contribution he was honoured on Australia Day with an OAM for service to local government, and to the community of the Yarra Ranges.
Serving 35 years as a councillor, and being elected to mayor six times, Mr Cox is highly regarded in local government circles, and is remembered for guiding the Yarra Ranges through its worst disaster - the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. Reflecting on his long tenure at Council Mr Cox said he never intended to remain at local council for long. "I first got elected in 1982 with Lilydale Council and I actually ran that election only planning to stay three years ... I was never intending to stay any longer than that," he said. "I didn't like what Lilydale council had
been doing at the time and probably a little bit egotistical I thought I could make it better. "I was going to fix everything and leave ... I was very naïve then," he joked. While he conceded he may not have fixed 'everything', there is no question that Cr Cox has certainly given it his best shot, and there's a long list of successful projects that he's been at the helm of throughout his time at Council. Having always worked hard to incite positive change within the broader community he said he's passion has always been the conservation of the environment, and to help people. "It sounds a little bit presumptuous but
you have the ability to help people, and you've got the ability also to make things better for a whole community," he said. "I guess my driving force is I still enjoy helping people and I still get a lot of phone calls from residents, which I really like." Over 35 years, and his passion for the community has never wavered and although being in his early 80's there are no signs of slowing down. "My interest in community issues and local government has never waned and it might sound ridiculous but it's just as strong now after 35 years as it's ever been."

The editor’s desk Australia Day is a great opportunity to celebrate those who've made outstanding contributions to our communities.

Former Mayor Len Cox was among several Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) recipients in the shire. The Patch's Raoul Picot, Gruyere's Pat Bigham and former Yarra Ranges Citizen of the Year Doseena Fergie were the other local names to receive the honour.

It was interesting to hear reports of Victorian kids that were holidaying in Echuca enthusiastically crossing the border to Moama to put cans and bottles in the Reverse Cycle Vending Machine installed as part of the New South Wales container deposit system. This was yet more evidence that young Victorians will embrace a container deposit system and help keep cans and bottles out of both our landfills and our waterways. Let's hope Victoria soon follows the example of South Australia, the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Queensland so that all our young budding entrepreneurs have the same financial incentive to help keep Victoria beautiful. This is important because litter is not good look, especially in tourist hot spots like the Dandenongs and the Yarra Valley. P Cook, Clematis
Fishing isn't "fun" Daniel Phillips took this photo of a wallaby that regularly hops through Mail photographer Greg Carrick''s Mount Evelyn property. "We have noticed an increase in wallabies, kangaroos, wombats and echidnas around Mount Evelyn, and drivers need to be aware they frequently cross roads around the town," Greg said.

It's highly commendable to want to help people with special needs by providing activities for them (Fishing is therapy, 18 December) but fishing should not be one of those activities. Think what fishing entails. It entails tricking an inoffensive animal into swallowing a sharp barbed hook cunningly disguised as food. It involves dragging the terrified animal from its watery home - via the hook cutting ever deeper into its sensitive throat - into an atmosphere in which it cannot breathe. This is not a "wholesome" or "fun" activity. It's blatant animal cruelty! Jenny Moxham, Monbulk
Community values shine What an inspiring story 'Honk for humanity' (22 January). This local protest against our government's ongoing treatment of refugees and asylum seekers shows the importance of the old adage 'think global, act local'. The issue of security of our borders is not new. The issue of justice for people fleeing persecution in their country of origin is, unfortunately, also not new. These issues are shared by all nations and it is for all nations to address them with humanity and compassion. Our response to these issues can be nuanced, to achieve justice for people fleeing persecution and also to ensure the safety of our community here in Australia. The recent result of the state election in Victoria shows that the electorate overwhelmingly rejected the fear-mongering and outright lies ("people in Melbourne are too afraid to go out at night") of politicians desperate to retain power at any cost. Well the "cost" is our humanity and our community values. As your article implied, the community values of this community are to embrace diversity (wizard), creativity (music), multiculturalism (unique cafes) and international tourism (Puffing Billy). Long may we celebrate these values. Judith Taylor, Emerald

AUSTRALIA DAY
Robyn just plays her part By Casey Neill "I'm a very small part of a group." Robyn Speering, Yarra Ranges Council's Environmentalist of the Year, is every bit the typical humble award recipient. The Mount Evelyn resident almost immediately passes the credit for her Australia Day honour to the Mount Evelyn Environment Protection and Progress Association (MEEPPA). "It is a privilege and good for the group," she said when asked how she felt about the achievement. "It's recognition for the work that people have done over many, many years. "If you do a little bit it goes a long way." Ms Speering joined MEEPPA to "see what they were about" and found "good people, nice people". "I got involved possibly 10 years ago when they were fighting against Safeway," she said. "It's about being part of your community." She's also a member of Friends of the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct. Her award citation said she was known by other members and in the community for her honesty, integrity and her willingness to lend a hand whenever she could. "Robyn has been an asset to both MEEPPA and FOMEA as a knowledgeable and passion-
ate volunteer and as treasurer for both groups for many years," it said. "These groups are responsible for managing substantial grant funding for the benefit of the environment. "It's important for groups to be served by an experienced treasurer like Robyn." Ms Speering moved to Mount Evelyn about 20 years ago. "It's a special part of the Yarra Ranges," she said. "It's lovely to be able to live in that kind of environment." She said that up next for MEEPPA was installing a wooden carving depicting the area's native wildlife at the Mount Evelyn Recreation Reserve. The group is also working on a wildlife tracker with Melbourne Water. "A local business is providing a fauna database that the public is going to be able to access," Ms Speering said. "People who see local animals can log onto the database and record it. "It gives a more up to date and accurate record of what animals are around. "You just want people to be aware that 'this is what is in your local area and it's very special'. "It needs taking care of, because once it's gone you don't get it back."

Suds and snags for CFA Mount Evelyn Fire Brigade volunteers washed cars for cash on Australia Day. The fund-raiser at Mount Evelyn Fast Fuel has become a 26 January tradition, and also features a sausage sizzle. Donations will help the brigade to buy new equipment and help to protect the community.
Montrose's Betty Crittenden has been a dedicated Mount Evelyn RSL sub-branch member for more than 35 years. Yarra Ranges Council applauded her efforts with a certificate of recognition in its Australia Day awards. Ms Crittenden has organised dances, dinners and social activities for members, and hosted morning teas and fund-raising events, including selling Anzac tokens and pins and poppies. She has been active in assisting members in need of welfare and other assistance, and today serves as the sub-branch's treasurer. Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said Ms Crittenden had served her club tirelessly and passionately. "Betty has been proactive in assisting the club wherever it should need it," he said. "Every branch and club wants a Betty Crittenden whose ongoing commitment and hard work have not only stood the test of time, but have also assisted the sub-branch to remain viable and its members well looked after." Cr Stevenson said that both of Ms Crittenden's husbands had served in executive positions with the Mount Evelyn RSL and she had always been around to assist and support them in performing their roles. "She was part of the committee who deter-
Mayor Tony Stevenson with certificate recipient Betty Crittenden. mined that the sub-branch would be better placed by having their own RSL clubrooms instead of the shared facilities they had put up with for 20 years," he said. "She actively assisted with fund-raising for the new facility and ran trading tables and bingo that helped pay off the club's building loan eight years earlier than expected. "Her determination during those frantic years to reduce the branch's liability and debt
still resonates with members." Ms Crittenden was instrumental in setting up a Women's Auxiliary and served as its president for a record 22 years, until the group folded in 2012 due to dwindling membership. She was awarded a Life Membership of the RSL Women's Auxiliary in 2009 for her efforts and in 2013 received an RSL National Certificate of Merit with Gold Badge.

Pets and snakes don’t mix January has been a scorcher! While the higher temperatures can be uncomfortable for both humans and pets, summer can pose greater dangers than heat alone. Warmer weather means more active snakes, and reports of pets being affected by snakebite have risen greatly over recent months. Most snakes will try to avoid people and pets, but if they feel cornered and defensive they will often strike. Many pets will be fascinated by the snake’s movements and try to hunt them or play with them. The best way to combat the dangers that snakes pose to pets - and humans, too - is to modify behaviours and avoid them wherever possible. By keeping your back yard neat and tidy, clearing away undergrowth and other materials such as wood piles, and clearing brush,
Animal
aid Mark Menze Animal Aid CEO grass and shrubs from walk ways you will make your space less inviting to snakes. Any spilled food, birdseed or fruit, will increase the likelihood of rodents taking up residence in the area - the perfect food for snakes. Be particularly cautious where your pet is sniffing. It is best to keep your pet on lead when the
risk is highest, but if you do see a snake, retreat the way you came - snakes can have an incredible striking range. A pet that has suffered a snake bite may suddenly collapse, show signs of vomiting, trembling, salivation and excessive panting. Some symptoms can develop up to several hours later and may include paralysis, lethargy, wobbly legs, dilated pupils, difficulty breathing or blood-tinged urine. If your pet has been bitten, remember to stay calm. Call ahead and seek veterinary care for your pet immediately. Keep your pet calm, too, and limit their activity. Cold packs, ice, tourniquets, alcohol, bleeding the wound and trying to suck out venom should not be attempted - prioritise getting professional treatment.
Early treatment carries the best chance of a favourable outcome. If you even suspect your pet may have been bitten, please seek veterinary assistance immediately. Research your closest 24-hour clinic and check that they carry snake anti-venom as not all clinics do. The best thing you can do for your pet is to be prepared. Do your research, keep bandages on hand and avoid high-risk areas. If you would like any advice on snake safety, please contact our fantastic Animal Aid Veterinary team. They will be able to answer your questions and help keep your pet safe this summer. Call 8756 1300.

AUSTRALIA DAY
Lifetime of service By Casey Neill Ever been to the Monbulk Police Station? You have Trevor Ricketts to thank. The 86-year-old served as the town's Business and Traders Association president when the group lobbied for and succeeded in establishing the police station. Mr Ricketts counts it among his greatest achievements. He received the Yarra Ranges Council Mayor's Lifetime Achievement Award on Australia Day in recognition of this service and so much more. "He has been tirelessly and regularly involved in launching projects in his community and dedicated to helping others," his award citation said. "He's well-respected, trustworthy, fair and generous with his time. "He is an extraordinary community member, a leader and a mentor." Mr Ricketts moved to Australia from the UK in 1948 and was sponsored out to Monbulk. "The whole town was very welcoming," he said. Particularly welcoming were the parents of his future wife, Joan. After a year he moved to a flat in Hawthorn, and as a cheesemaker by trade manager a business in Doncaster. He'd return to Monbulk to visit Joan's family and soon started building his own home in the town. "I built the home myself on the weekend and holidays," Mr Ricketts said. It wasn't long before he immersed himself in the community. He became a Justice of the Peace in 1969, and got mains water connected to Monbulk
Our young achievers By Casey Neill
Monbulk stalwart Trevor Ricketts. Primary while president of the Monbulk Primary School Committee. Mr Ricketts is the Monbulk Rotary Club charter president, a past-president and life member of Monbulk Soccer Club and Monbulk Probus Club, and a Monbulk and District Senior Citizens Club trustee and public officer for more than 35 years. He was a Monbulk High School Committee treasurer, Lilydale Sewerage Authority Board
member, Monbulk Scouts Parents Committee president, and a member of the liaison committee between Sherbrooke and Lilydale Councils, providing community input for the shire amalgamation. "I don't do these things for reward or recognition," he said. Today he's the Monbulk and District Men's Shed vice president and said he'd "quietened down".
A trio of Lilydale students share this year's Yarra Ranges Council Young Citizen of the Year title. Amelie, Keely and Jean-Pascal received the Australia Day honour for renaming the Lilydale Cenotaph Area to the Ralph Goode Reserve, commemorating Ralph Goode for his significant contribution to the community. The former students and classmates at Lilydale Primary formed the idea in a small group at school. Keely said they did a lot of research, spurred on by the 100 years of Anzac. They reached out to Mr Goode's descendants, local history groups, the museum, the RSL, trader groups and the mayor. "It was nice to know what he did for the community," Amelie said. They then wrote an application to the council and had to speak at a meeting. "It was really exciting to know we were able to name something as big as that and make a change," Keely said. Mr Goode was a businessman and Lilydale resident, Lilydale's first volunteer in World War I and was made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his community work. "The project showed initiative and dedication from Amelie, Keely and Jean-Pascal in their advocacy and through their passion and perseverance, they have made a significant and permanent change in their community," their award citation said.
Ring Terry Miller direct for the the best best prices prices BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE 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 from Terry Miller Concrete Tanks has been in the concrete tank building business for nearly 30 years. Being from country Victoria himself, 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 our 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 of 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 (metal) 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 in 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, you will keep your home cool and wet. Or if need be, you can jump into the tank to keep cool and be protected 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 0419462814 or 0260267021 or check out our web site, www.terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au. Nearly three years ago, we suffered our own fire here, in Barnawartha, and we were lucky. But it made me realise how important good water storage is. We are in for a long, hot, dry summer, and fire restrictions are in. Having an ample supply of safely stored water is imperative. So why not contact Terry now about your water supply needs, BEFORE, the heat builds up and water scarce. There is nothing more refreshing than your own cool, clear, clean water!

Enigma of environment
Queensland Fruit Fly larvae in apple Photo: Bron Koll
By Derek Schlennstedt Year four Patch Primary student Jasper was awarded with a certificate of recognition at this year's Australia Day awards, recognising his strong passion for the environment. Since he was young Jasper has always had a passion for the environment and been at the forefront of getting his school and classmates to pursue environmentally friendly outcomes. He introduced his school to Zoos Victoria's Fighting Extinction Schools program, which helps to save endangered wildlife locally and around the world. Both he and his brother, Wilbur, presented the program to the school, emphasising that the program would fit well within the school's curriculum. The students agreed and, as a result, all year 3-4 students have participated in biodiversity programs, learning about the importance of habitat and how to reduce species loss. Along with other students, Jasper also assisted in organising a free dress day at his school, raising $500 through donations for the Healesville Sanctuary's Leadbeater's Possum project.

Monbulk resident Belinda Grooby has been recognised for her work in creating a safe space for young people to come together and work with their peers. At the Yarra Ranges Council Australia Day Awards on 26 January Ms Grooby received a Certificate of Recognition for her work in setting up Monbulk tribe Youth Group. The group gives young people a place where they feel respected and heard, and encourages them to express themselves equally without the fear of judgement. Ms Grooby said the group formed after trying to find a group in her area that could cater to her teenage daughter. "We launched in April and, since then, it's just taken off enormously," she said. "I wanted a safe space for my teenage daughter somewhere she can hang out, meet other people and really connect to other young people and be in a space that was designed for them. Ms Grooby told the Mail that she was ecstatic about the award, but conceded that she

wouldn't have been able to do half the work without the contribution and support of many locals. "It was just overwhelming and very humbling. To be recognised for the work that you do is really lovely but I have a huge group of people that are behind me and I couldn't do it without their support either." "Being in Monbulk where everyone is so incredibly supportive it just means I can do what I do." Since its inception the group has gone from strength to strength and in 2018 a Yarra Ranges Council grant bolstered the group's long-term future. Ms Grooby said that a new youth group aimed at 8-12-year-olds will be launched in February, and said that it has already garnered widespread interest. "We've been so successful and on 1 February we're launching Tribe Kids ... we've already got 20 plus registered and 40 more interested." "You go into these things thinking that you're going to make a difference to these children, but they're the ones that make a difference to you."

Heat stirs fire memories By Derek Schlennstedt Firefighters used the 22nd anniversary of the 1997 Dandenong Ranges bushfires to send a fire warning to the hills community. The fire on 21 January 1997 killed three people and destroyed 41 homes in Ferny Creek, Kalorama and Upwey. Spurred on by 40-plus degree dry heat and strong northerly winds, a number of fires burnt more than 400 hectares of the Dandenong Ranges. John Schauble, the Sassafras-Ferny Creek CFA president and lieutenant at the time of the fires, recalled the devastating event. “It was hot and windy day and reached temperatures which were pretty unusual in those
days, but what made it significant was it was very windy,” he said. “It was one of those days where if you’d lived up there, you knew it was of bushfire potential.” The fires started at Montrose and on the slopes below Kalorama during the morning and soon after more fires were reported at Mount Dandenong, Upwey and Ferny Creek. The police arson squad declared later that all but one of the fires was deliberately lit, though and no one was ever charged. Twenty-two years since the event and the memory of the devastating fires and impact on the local community is still as poignant and important as ever. With February the hottest summer month
and a 40-degree day ahead on Friday 25 January, Mr Schauble urged people to prepare and have their fire plans ready. “For me, this was a significant event as it was the first in more than 20 years that our community had been impacted and the first time anyone had died," he said. “There was a lot of hurt and you can still feel that pain 20 years later. “Here is the opportunity to reflect on the fact that we are in the middle of another bushfire season in the Dandenongs and the next six to eight weeks is usually the hottest period. “People need to think about bushfires in the summer and make plans accordingly... don’t leave it to the last minute.” Emerald Fire Brigade Captain Paul Yandle
took to Facebook to urge residents to plan and prepare, including for their pets. "You would have to be blind Freddie not to have noticed that the fuel loads in our local area have been drying out very rapidly in the last few weeks," he said. "Grasslands and particularly the forested areas are very dry and any fire that starts in those conditions will be difficult to control and very fast moving." Mr Yandle urged people not to leave it to the last minute to work out their plan for a hot day. "Keep an eye on the forecast and, importantly, the fire danger ratings and know what they mean," he said. "The safest option is to leave early in the morning or the night before."
Lysterfield Lake safe to swim in - now it’s official By Derek Schlennstedt Lysterfield Lake's water quality has improved and is now within safe levels for swimming, just in time for the long weekend. Parks Victoria confirmed on 24 January that testing at the lake had produced positive results, with swimming now deemed safe. Due to unsafe levels of bacteria in the popular swimming spot, the lake was temporarily closed from December onwards.
ON the Parks Victoria website it stated that "swimming was temporarily not recommended in Lysterfield Lake at Lysterfield Park as recent monitoring showed high bacterial readings in the lake." On 4 January, a resident posted in the Hills and Dandenong Facebook Page citing her concern after her family got sick from swimming in Lysterfield. Though, Parks Victoria has confirmed today that the lake is now safe to swim in.

$300,000 funding boost for 1000 steps car park A $300,000 funding boost for the 1000 Steps will ensure the longevity of the iconic fitness attraction in Ferntree Gully. The Federal Member for Aston, Hon Alan Tudge MP, announced on 23 January that the funding would go towards feasibility studies to improve car parking at the 1000 Steps, and construct a shared use bridge at the base of the track. The commitment will be delivered through the Community Development Grants Programme. The project will evaluate and design solu-
tions to address car parking availability around the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk (1000 Steps) and include design concepts and costs to deliver a new pedestrian and cycling shared path over Burwood Highway to link Belgrave to the Ringwood Rail trail. Mr Tudge said the much needed feasibility study will go a long way to ensuring the future accessibility of the track. "Everyone knows the 1000 Steps car park can be a nightmare at times," he said. "We need to find solutions to this problem and also finally link Belgrave to the Ringwood Rail Trail"
Pools and roundabouts Belgrave's pool and roundabout are both the subjects of petitions to the Yarra Ranges Council. Councillors received the petitions at their Tuesday 22 February meeting. The first requested that the council extend the swimming season at the Belgrave Outdoor Heated Pool until the end of March. The 83 signatories raised that the weather continued to be warm after the end of last season and requested access in the morning for lap swimmers and family access from 4pm until 7pm. mailcommunity.com.au
The second asked the council to upgrade the Belgrave roundabout to reflect the hills' character. Residents said the roundabout was aesthetically one of the worst in the hills and, with the many tourists that visited the area, needed to be upgraded. The petition contained 30 valid signatures. The council noted the petitions and referred them to the appropriate departments for consideration.
Lysterfield Lake has reopened for swimming.

VALENTINE'S DAY
Wendy in town for Valentine’s Celebrate Valentine's Day 2019 with Wendy Matthews at Mount Evelyn's iconic pub, York on Lilydale. As an artist, Wendy Matthews has an expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it. Her music is an unhurried journey of clean melodies, infectious energy and simple grace. In an age where uber-production techniques are thought to be hip and cynicism an attribute, Wendy has proven that commitment to beauty is still not only valid but applauded by the public ear. Wendy has an immense talent and capacity to capture and define a diverse range of styles in her music. She takes songs from every genre and makes them her own; from jazz to blues, from rock to gospel, from soul to outright infectious pop and then, of course, there are the beautiful ballads. Wendy is adept at reaching both frenetic youth and mature audiences alike. If older ears are captured by her soul and unfazed class, a more cynical youth is convinced by her disarming ease of delivery, wooed by a voice of stunning emotive capacity yet void of sentimentality.
Born in Montreal Canada, Wendy joined her first band and left home as a teenager, busking her way across the USA to Los Angeles where she met Glenn Shorrock who invited her to tour with him in Australia in 1982. Tickets to Wendy's show at the York on Lilydale are purchased as either 18+ general admission show only (standing ticket) for $38.80 or 18+ dinner and show (seated ticket) for $74.45. The York on Lilydale Resort presents some of the best live music, from local bands to the biggest and best names in the industry. All tickets are available from the venue, by phone or online via the Oztix website. York on Lilydale is located at the corner of York and Swansea Road in Mount Evelyn. For more information, phone 9736 4000 or visit www.yorkonlilydale.com.au.
Wendy Matthews will be playing at York on Lilydale this Valentine's Day.

CITY LIVING IN THE HILLS STRIKING, on-trend and absolutely captivating in architectural intelligence, the agent says this stunning, new contemporary residence will appeal to the most discerning buyer. On a near-flat acre parcel in a quiet location, this home is unique in design and beautifully contrasted by the integration of textures and colours in the stylish detailing. Internally, soaring ceilings reflect the abundant light that leads from the main entrance foyer to the open living areas which the agent says are oozing with style. Walls of glass - all double-glazed - define spaces yet extend the eye to invite nature's beauty inside. Flowing over two levels, the design has ensured functionality and privacy, the agent says, catering for the busy family with parents' master retreat located separately from the lower level bedrooms and kids' living zone. The open galley kitchen with concrete stone waterfall island bench and designer cabinetry integrates with the expansive living and meals, sassy with window splashbacks, butler's pantry and all the desired essentials. Pendant lights define the areas, while highlight windows and mellow oak tones in flooring connect the spaces. A large Regency fireplace set in a tiled
wall enhances the ambiance, the agent says, and also adds a decorative touch. Glass doors extend the living options outside to the sundrenched decking area, while sharp external walls protrude into the extensive native contemporary landscaping and grounds via extensive rock walls. The three bedrooms on the lower level all have fitted built-in robes and high accentuated ceilings square set with 2340mm doors and carpet, while a designer bathroom offers a freestanding bath with a backdrop of glass and a green garden aspect. All fixtures and fittings adding that touch of luxury, the agent says, and flow into the oversized laundry with storage. Lifestyle options place a third living/ cinema room or office off the foyer, with a guest powder room neatly completing a generous floor plan. The double garage with automatic door ensures secure parking with ample spaces for guests. This absolutely home has been detailed and decorated with precision and quality, the agent says, and hosts a feast of extras that only an inspection will reveal. It has the feeling of seclusion, yet is close to Cooks Corner and Kallista village, and schools. â—?

Mary: Queen of Scots Starring Saiorse Ronan, Margot Robbie and Jack Lowden Rated MA15+ Mary: Queen of Scots is an enthralling historical drama about two rival thrones. In 1561, the Catholic Mary Stuart (Saiorse Ronan) assumes the throne of a mostly-Protestant Scotland. Her cousin Elizabeth (Margot Robbie), the Protestant Queen of England, regards Mary as a threat to her reign, but forces within Mary's own court and family conspire to depose the Queen of Scots. Director Josie Rourke orchestrates a tragic, superbly-paced narrative. Deep characters weave a tapestry of loyalty and distrust, and the film firmly establishes several threads of dissent, such as religious strife, brotherly treason and Mary's husband Lord Darnley's (Jack Lowden) zealous desire for power. As Mary struggles to maintain her rule over Scotland and insists her blood-right as Elizabeth's successor, these conspiracies steadily culminate against her in heartbreaking ways. Ronan is captivating as Mary, conveying young wisdom and powerful confidence, which erodes but never fails, even as her power-base crumbles. Robbie is strong-willed but weary as Elizabeth, who faces resistance from her own court. Queen of Scots has beautiful cinematography, stunning historical accuracy and an elegant, majestic score by Max Richter, but the ending feels somewhat rushed, as the passage of time is too nebulous for Mary's ultimate fate - imprisonment and execution - to fully sink in. Mary: Queen of Scots fumbles slightly in its conclusion, but is still a sumptuous, extraordinarily suspenseful drama. - Seth Lukas Hynes
Let’s get Loonee showing. "The Loonee Tunes sound mixes ska, pop and mod influences, while their stage presentation is filled with energy and humour," Singer and ringmaster Adam Timms said. At the band's last gig at the Upwey-Belgrave RSL punters came in their multitudes and definitely got their money's worth. "The dance floor was packed throughout both sets," Mr Timms said. "It's really infectious music, and gets people up on stage dancing and jumping ... at the last gig the owners were concerned about the floor giving way." The self-described "Melbourne's Oldest Boy Band (with a girl)" will attempt to re-create the energy of their first show at the RSL and
By Derek Schlennstedt After some cracking shows in the last quarter of 2018, experienced entertainers Loonee Tunes are kicking off the year with a powerhouse event at Upwey-Belgrave RSL that will set the tone for the rest of the year. The RSL is close to the local bands roots, and what seemed like a fun idea - playing at the local - turned into a thumpingly successful event that saw punters dancing on tables and chairs, and management's collective heads spinning as they grappled with the scenes unfolding before them. The band has previously gathered a strong local following at the venue and in the past Loonee Tunes has consistently connected with the RSL crowd, filling the dance floor on every
the four-piece band is looking forward to build on their successful 2018. Loonee Tunes' pedigree extends back to 1982 in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne where - inspired by The Specials, Madness and The Selecter - a group of very young blokes got together and made a lot of good fun music. Those blokes are now a bit more mature, and since those early days have played all sorts of venues - large and small, formal and informal, cold and hot- hot being the preference. Loonee Tunes will play at Upwey-Belgrave RSL on 16 February from 8:30pm.

AUSTRALIA DAY
Big war on waste By Derek Schlennstedt People and groups in the Yarra Ranges are holding nothing back when it comes to the war on waste, especially when it comes to singleuse plastic bag. For the past four years, Healesville, Warburton and the Dandenong ranges have joined in an united front to ridding the Yarra Ranges of single-use plastic bags. Each town has formed a plastic bag free group, which at this year's Yarra Ranges Council Australia awards received the Community Group of the Year award. Inspired by similar projects in Warburton and Healesville, the Plastic Bag Free Dandenong Ranges group began in May 2016 to reduce the number of single-use plastics used by traders and resident in the Dandenongs. From its first small community meeting of about 30 people it has since grown in numbers and in passion, and since its inception has created over 1400 reusable boomerang bags. "We were just a group of us who are very involved and keen about looking after the forests and waterways of the Dandenong ranges," said group member Vicky Boyle. "We were very concerned about platypus numbers and the litter problem so we called a public meeting in Belgrave library ... following that we asked council to see if they could be make all the shire facilities plastic bag free which hasn't happened unfortunately, but we've been busy sewing bags ever since." Each Thursday the group gathers at Kallista Community House to sew the bags, which are made from entirely recyclable materials. Regular sewathons help to increase their visibility in the community and attract new members. From those small beginnings three years ago, their boomerang Bags have since exploded across the Dandenongs and can now be found all over the hills including, Upwey IGA, Belgrave Book Barn, Selby General Store, Kallista General Store, Sushi Express, Unwrapped Pantry and more. Ms Boyle said the bags were extremely pop-

She said the group was thrilled with the award and that it was lovely to be recognised. Unfortunately the duty of keeping the Dandenongs pristine is a full-time job and on the day of the awards (26 January) the Plastic Bag Free Dandenong Ranges group could not at-
tend as they busy sewing at the Belgrave Survival day event. "It's lovely because we are a little bit invisible - a lot of us sew at home or the Kallista Community House but as soon as we make the bags they go, we just can't keep up with them," Ms Boyle said. "It is nice that someone's noticing."
Belgrave Survival Day Belgrave Survival Day again provided an alternative way to mark 26 January. For the 12th year, the event celebrated the survival of indigenous culture on Australia Day. Borthwick Park and the surrounding streets overflowed with people and cars. Families picnicked by the main stage, watching indigenous performances and informative presentations, including a smoking ceremony. A small group of hills residents held the first Belgrave Survival Day on 26 January 2008. The event moved in 2011 to Borthwick Park and attracts up to 3000 attendees. The event's mission is to increase understanding of and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Organisers said the event was a living and breathing example of how the first peoples of this nation could be honoured and respected within a wider context of mutual respect and inclusivity.

Knox Australia Day winners Ferntree Gully Singer Andrea Cobbern was jointly awarded Citizen of the Year along with Johann Poppenbeck from Knox, as part of this year's Knox Australia Day awards. Involved in the music industry for over 30 years, Andrea is an incredibly gifted singer, vocal, music and performance coach and business woman. Her business, located in Ferntree Gully focuses on developing and encouraging local talent and works with young children through to adults from across the local area and surrounding districts/ A keen member of the Knox City Council Arts Advisory Committee Andrea has been a key visionary and organiser for performances at local Relay for Life Cancer Council fundraiser, Stringybark Festival, Knox Festival, amplified workshops and the Knox Factor Competition at Knox Carols which has provided significant opportunities to showcase Knox's local talent. Knox Council described her contribution to local music and the arts as 'not only enjoyed by the local community now but also leaving a legacy for a long time in the future of Australian arts.' Other award Winners included Johan Poppenbeck who shared Citizen of the year with Andrea Cobber. Johann received the award for his volunteering activities with the Knox Churches Soccer Club, where his Presidency of the Knox Churches Soccer Club significantly contributed to the club's recognition as a leading community sports group in Knox. Joel Porter received the Young Citizen of the Year award for his efforts to establish the 'Stop Bullying Now Foundation' and raise awareness for internet stalking. Lyn Shepherd was awarded Volunteer of the Year for her dedication to volunteer work and developing community sports and Shameela Essop was awarded local hero for her commitment to fostering intercultural relations in the municipality of Knox and beyond.

Yarra Ranges Life TV founder Patrick Boucher received a certificate of recognition in the Yarra Ranges Council Australia Day Awards. The council said that Mr Boucher and his team produced videos telling stories around the Yarra Ranges since 2017. The team regularly reports live from community events and produces videos recapping the week in news from other local publications, including the Mail. Yarra Ranges Life TV is a commercial operation, but the council said it delivered enormous social benefit by highlighting many of the underappreciated facets of life in the Yarra Ranges, and encouraging greater engagement from locals and visitors. "Patrick's dedication to telling the stories of people and groups across Yarra Ranges has resulted in countless videos being produced, supporting events and programs big and small," the council said. "He is appreciated and respected by council and the community." Tuesday, 29 January, 2019

An even battle
Monbulk wins all On Tuesday, Monbulk Bowling Club's top-ofthe-ladder number one side played at home against the fifth-placed Upwey/Tecoma. It was a tight contest from start to finish. Eric Markham's rink was six shots all on the fifth end, then managed to build up a small lead and hang on to win by just two shots, 17 shots to 15. Richard Cookson's team started slowly and managed to break level, eight shots all, by the ninth end. The Monbulk team built a four-shot lead but then Upwey took back the lead by the 17th end. It was then an exciting tussle, with the rink going into the final end at 18 shots all. The last end had a lot of tension and Cookson proved once again that he could come up with the pressure bowls when needed. Monbulk picked up one shot on that last end to win 19 shots to 18. Andrew Bell's team didn't give up the lead all day, but it was after the lunch break that the team really stormed ahead, picking up several multiples and only dropping two ends in the back half. Andrew also pulled off some spectacular conversions when the team needed him. Monbulk won the rink with a massive 28 shots to 10. Overall Monbulk won 64 shots to 43, winning all rinks - a strong win against a side that had been knocking on the door of a top-four position. Monbulk 2 played at home against Donvale who was sitting bottom of the ladder. All the Monbulk rinks led all day and had convincing wins. Graeme Goller's team picked up several multiples and went on to win 28 shots to 13. Peter Francis' team jumped at the start and built up 10 shots by the third end.
The team dropped a five on the eighth end then settled down to some steady bowling, building a winning score of 27 shots to 16. Eric Furby's team's had a huge season so far and this match was no exception, building strong heads, securing several multiples and not dropping any clangers. The team won 14 of the 21 ends and finished with an amazing win of 30 shots to nine. Overall, Monbulk won 85 shots to 38, winning all rinks and to be in the top three on the ladder. Monbulk 3 played away against Blackburn North, which were in a similar position on the ladder so it was expected to be a close contest. Mike Harris' rink was close all day. Scores were level at the halfway mark, then they snatched a couple of multiples and protected the losses to the minimum. The team won 19 shots to 14. Barry Adshead's rink was level at the half-

way mark, then Blackburn took the lead. Then Monbulk won 11 shots in five ends and hung on to win 20 shots to 16. Don Barnetson's team led all day. Monbulk had a couple of scares after dropping a four on the 15th end and a three on the 20th end to put Blackburn within two shots. But on the last end, Monbulk rallied to pick up a three and won the game 24 shots to 19. The overall win meant the team moved up to second position on the ladder and that each team had won all rinks completing a very successful day for the club. Night Owls bowls is in full swing on Thursday nights. The bowls start at 7.30 pm, with casual dress and flat soled shoes advised. Bowls can be provided and single players or teams can be accommodated. To take part, call 9756 6183, sign up in the foyer or just arrive at 7.15pm ready for action.
With three games left before finals, Monbulk Cricket Club was looking to have a big first day against Olinda to hold onto second spot on the ladder. Electing to bat first, Chris Martin made the early breakthroughs, snagging the first two wickets with patient bowling. Olinda was set on a big score when 2/75 after only 27 overs and their best bats settled at the crease. But in a big session before tea, Craig Broekhof bowled Tim Scott around his legs and Tom Gelbert was run out. At 4/140 at tea, Monbulk found some tight lines and restricted Olinda to 221 from their innings. The twos had a successful day in the field, bowling Olinda out early and knocking off some runs before the close of play. The two young guns Josh Spencer and Joel Wensley bowled brilliant opening spells, having Olinda 4/37 at drinks. Joel finished with 1/13 off eight and Josh 3/21 off 10.1. Rab Noonan bowled eight overs for 2/26 and junior Jett Bolton took 2/4 to help wrap things up. Olinda made 174 and the Hawks had 23 overs to bat before the close of play. With Aaron Gillard making 17* and Brian Martin out for 21, the Hawks finished on 2/50. The fours are well in the game against St Johns/Tecoma in what looks to be a run fest. St Johns/Tecoma finished on 2/140 off its 35 overs, while the Hawks are sitting on 4/145. In the runs were Brayden Caldwell (24), Ben Horlock (36) and Oldham (43*).

Mounters out
Finals race is on By Richard Millott Eildon Park’s finals credentials strengthened on Saturday, bowling Knoxfield out cheaply then scoring most of the required runs before stumps. Batting first, Knoxfield faced the hungry Panthers bowlers, with the visitors having the defending premiers 3/26 early in the piece. Adith Sundaresh was the only Knight to get a start as Monto Perera claimed 5/24 from 20 overs - including 12 maidens. Likewise, Nathan Caton-Robertson enjoyed the day with the ball in hand, with 3/24 to play a part in dismissing Knoxfield for 102 after 53 overs. With 22 overs of play still remaining, the Panthers set off in chase of the target, reaching 2/67 at stumps with Cody Morris on 36*. Jayden Turcinovic led the way for The Basin to assist in posting a healthy score against Upwey. Turcinovic’s 74 was the main defiance against the Tiger bowling, lead by Cam Wheeler with 5/78. Scott Vozzo (33) joined in to score runs as the Bears were dismissed late in the day for 222. Johnson Park’s finals hopes remain after reaching 8/268 against Upper Ferntree Gully. David Devenish led the way with 73, with support in Paul Wilkinson (69) and Steve Devenish (42) to help the Sharks into a strong position at the midway point. For the Kings, Jay Collee claimed 4/41 as re-
ward for his efforts with the ball. Belgrave continued its purple patch of form, with the Pie batsmen scoring 6/211 against Knox Gardens. Johnathon Levell reached 78 while alongside Andrew Hyland (54*) and Jordon King (31). Nav Singh led the way for the Falcon bowlers, ending the day with figures of 3/76.

In the Ferntree Gully Derby, the Blues had a number of starts to reach 191 against Ferntree Gully Footballers. Daniel Salan (36), Adrian Catalano (33) and Mark Teofilo (31) were all able to get their innings underway, in defiance to the Griffens’ Tharanga Lakshita who claimed 4/25. In Decoite Shield action, Daniel Cormack was the highlight for South Belgrave, hitting an unbeaten 138 to lead South to 232, with Cameron Smith also joining in with 39. With the ball, Adam Wild claimed 5/52 to show the way with for the Falcons, well assisted by Josh Curnow (3/33). Knox Gardens commence at 0/8 in chase next week. Lysterfield’s dominance was on display in its encounter with Mountain Gate, with Anthony Brolic (124*) reaching triple figures while Nathan Hicks (93) and Ryan Hicks (54) both hit half centuries to send the Beavers to 4/341 from their 80 overs. Olinda reached 221 against Monbulk with several contributors on the batting card for the Swans. Adrian Wiloughby (36), Andrew Bruce (35) and Tom Gelbert (34) all helped lift Olinda to a respectable target, despite the best efforts of Duncan Maher who claimed 3/56 for the Hawks. In its match against St Johns Tecoma, Rowville posted 259 on the board, thanks to Brett Gatehouse’s 70. Visit mailcommunity.com.au for FTGDCA's results in the VMCU Carnival.
In the Yarra Valley Cricket Association's premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, Seville made a statement to the rest of the competition against Mount Evelyn. Mount Evelyn sauntered to 2/262 in their one day fixture preceding Christmas, so when the toss fell their way the Mounters gleefully elected to bat. Seville has clearly done its homework since that day and completely changed its approach to bowling. Identifying that the slower bowlers around the competition have had the most success this season, they have recently turned to an unlikely opening bowling duo of Marcus Smith and Liam Kay. Smith offers some disciplined swing bowling where batsmen need to patiently navigate their way to scoring opportunities, while Kay is showing great development in his off-spin bowling, using his height and accuracy to test a batsman’s patience. In their previous encounter, the Mount Evelyn batsmen feasted on the ball coming onto the bat using the patience to their advantage, whereas they battled to stick it out against some great bowling by this pair. Kay patiently worked through Mount Evelyn’s formidable top order, bagging the first seven wickets of the contest. With some help of some good swing bowling from Mark Sandfort (2/19), Kay’s impressive figures of 7/44 led his team to dismiss Mount Evelyn for 113, clearly their worst performance with the bat this season and the first time the Mounters have been dismissed. When stumps were drawn, Seville sat at 3/32.

VicRoads says motorists who break down on the freeway should exit at the earliest opportunity. "Whether you've got a blown tyre, run out of fuel, or your car's making strange grinding noises, breaking down is frustrating," VicRoads said. "If you're on a freeway, it can also be extremely hazardous." Drivers who can't exit the freeway should find a safe spot to pull over - like an emergency lane. "Where there is no emergency lane, move as far to the left on the road as possible," VicRoads advises. "Make sure your vehicle can be seen by other drivers. "Turn on your hazard lights and activate your headlights." Pedestrians and freeway traffic are a dangerous combination, with potentially tragic consequences. "Only get out of your vehicle if it's safe to do so, making sure you check for traffic first," VicRoads said.
