Two new electric vehicles have joined the Yarra Ranges Council fleet, as part of a trial to help Council reach its carbon emissions reduction target of 30 per cent by 2020. The Hyundai IONIQ electric vehicles will be powered by the solar panels on top of Council's offices, via recharging stations onsite and have been purchased by Council at a believed cost of $40,000 each Mayor Tony Stevenson said Council was

"Council has had hybrid electric vehicles in our fleet for some time now but investing in this new generation of fully electric vehicles for employees to drive will save us more money, encourage us to use renewable energy and further decrease our dependence on fossil fuels," Cr Stevenson said.

IN BRIEF
Quest for quilting By Derek Schlennstedt There's a unique quilting group in Monbulk helping to keep children around the world warm. The Monbulk group; Quilts for Orphans has been around for more than 15 years and started after members heard that orphans in India slept on the floor. They had a deeply-felt desire to do something about it, and now their quilts are sent all around the world. Group members volunteer their time and talent to make quilts which are sent to orphaned children in China, Indonesia, Rwanda and Thailand. To highlight the plight of children in other countries and to demonstrate the skills of quilting, the group is holding a quilting exhibition in Wandin on April 27. Member of the group Annette Stone said there would be workshops and activities that revolved around quilting and were suitable for all ages. Since the group's inception, the membership has grown to more than 25 women and over the span of 16 years the groups has created over 3000 quilts. Ms Stone encouraged everyone to come along to the exhibition and to join the group if they were interested or wanted to learn a new skill. "A lot of women do quilt but there are only so many quilts a woman can have in their house," she joked. "It's lovely to get together and still make quilts and know that it's going to a good cause. "It's really about having a bit of fun, enjoying our sewing and getting together and I think that's one of the things - you meet up with other women for a common cause and learn from each other as well. "I think we all enjoy working on something
Operation Nexus A Mount Evelyn man has lost his licence for the best part of a year after he was allegedly caught driving more than two times the legal alcohol limit on 20 Apri). Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers were conducting roadside breath tests on Maroondah Highway, Coldstream when they intercepted a green Land Rover Discovery about 9.55am. The 56-year-old driver tested positive to a preliminary breath test and was taken back to the police station for an evidentiary breath test, where he returned an alleged reading of 0.117 per cent. The man lost his licence for 11 months, and his vehicle was impounded at a cost of $1017.10. The man is expected to be charged on summons with drink-driving offences. The impound forms part of Operation Nexus, a five day high-visibility road policing operation over the Easter long weekend. The state-wide operation focused on country road users, speed, impaired drivers, seatbelts, on and off-road motorcycles, fatigue due to long distance travel, and driver distraction through mobile technology and navigation devices.

available for lunch.
A 29-year-old woman who was involved in a minor collision on Station Street, Ferntree Gully, allegedly returned a positive result for illicit drugs. Police said that following the crash on 15 April, officers found drugs in the vehicle. They charged the woman over the incident and she was remanded in custody. Her licence was cancelled and disqualified for six months at court.
Damage to shop
School’s poppy tribute for Anzac spirit
A vandal smashed three shop front windows in Belgrave, causing thousands of dollars in damage. Police said the incident occurred on Burwood Highway between 10pm on Thursday 18 April and 10am on Friday 19 April. They are seeking information about a single vandal. Anyone with information should call Belgrave Police Station on 9754 6677.
Poppies are an iconic tribute to the memory of fallen and returned service men and women. Billanook College in Mooroolbark will this year be commemorating the spirit of Anzac through a moving installation. The school partnered with Phillip Johnson, internationally renowned landscape designer and co-creator of the 5000 Poppies Project, to recognise and pay homage to the memory of the Anzacs. On Wednesday 24 April at its annual Anzac Day service, the college will ceremoniously unveil its outdoor poppy display by the banks of the college creek, designed by Phillip and installed by teams of Billanook students. "It's moving and re-affirming to see how a project such as this highlights the importance of community," principal Roger Oates said. "The significance of sharing intergenerational skills, family stories and dedications to those who made the ultimate sacrifice is immeasurable." The original target of 5000 poppies has been well and truly surpassed with more than
Police are continuing to appeal for public help to find Don Valley man Edward Fitzpatrick. The 42-year-old left Maroondah Hospital at 1.10pm on 9 April and was last seen a short time later near Ringwood East Railway Station. He has not been seen or made contact with family since. Edward was described as Caucasian in appearance and 183 centimetres tall with a thin build, tanned skin and thinning sandy-coloured hair. He is believed to be travelling on public transport. Police and family have concerns for his welfare due to medical conditions that require medication. He is known to frequent the Wandin, Seville, Yarra Junction and Ringwood areas. Anyone who sees Edward or has information on his whereabouts should call Ringwood Police Station on 9871 3000.
"It's really displaying what we do, telling people who we are and inviting people to contribute their quilts or come along to our gatherings and be a part of it," Ms Stone said.
Search for missing man
Billanook students work on poppies for the display. 10,000 poppies to feature. The college community has worked tirelessly to create the masterpiece. Weekly student and staff poppy workshops, assistance from current and past families, local knitting groups and even interstate donations have contributed.
Locals are invited to the unveiling of Billanook's Poppy Project and Anzac Day service on Wednesday 24 April at 12.10pm at Billanook College, 197 Cardigan Road, Mooroolbark. RSVP via www.billanook.vic.edu.au as light refreshments will be provided after the service.

Women on the home front By Tony Smith, Casey Mp Over the centenary of Anzac, many local primary school students have participated in my Anzac Essay competition. This year I chose the topic of Women on the Home Front. One hundred and eighty one students at 15 schools participated, and were judged by a committee of locals. The overall winner and those whose essays were judged highly commended will be announced tomorrow. I chose to focus on the role of women as we have previously, naturally, focussed on the 100th anniversary of each battle, and now is a good time to reflect on the significant role Australian women played back here in Australia during the war. On the home front women were critical to the war effort and their efforts transformed Australia for the better.
From my
desk Tony Smith MP
Federal Member for Casey The Red Cross was established in Australia just days after the outbreak of war. In Lilydale, Nellie Melba was elected the first president at a meeting at the Athenaeum Hall. Across the nation, women raised funds, produced supplies for the diggers and, critically, raised morale in the darkest days of a bloody war they feared would never end. They raised families, ran farms, lost husbands, sons, brothers, brothers-in-law and
cousins, and as they grieved they kept up the fight here in Australia to do all they could to bring about victory as soon as possible. The Governor-General’s wife, Lady Munro Ferguson, who established the Australian Red Cross transformed Government House here in Melbourne into a work and dispatch station for volunteer women. Their efforts fostered and solidified volunteerism in Australia, a spirit of service that continues to benefit us today. Prime Minister Billy Hughes was in England when the armistice was signed. On 13 November, Acting Prime Minister William Watt rose in the House of Representatives, then still sitting in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, and read a message from the King marking the end of hostilities. After praising the Anzacs, Watt delivered a moving tribute to the women of Australia and the “courage, fortitude and self-sacrifice” they
had displayed over the previous four years. They were, Watt said, “worthy mothers, wives and sisters of the great Anzac breed” deserving of recognition for “their splendid courage and work” as the fighting raged. It was a fine and fitting acknowledgment of the women who had served their country with quiet heroism during the war. It’s fitting a century on that we remember them.

How voting’s changed In the lead-up to the federal election, local historian Anthony McAleer shared some history about voting in the region 100 years ago. It turns out this little rural patch changed the shape of Australian politics. The electoral district was Flinders, not Casey, and in early 1918 a by-election was
SAT 27TH
called when member Sir William Irvine resigned to become Chief Justice of Victoria. “Political campaigning for the seat then
took place locally between candidates from the Labor and Nationalists Parties and, for the very first time in this district, from the Country Party,” Mr McAleer said. “This new party had been formed by various farmers’ unions to further rural interests and to get country folk a louder voice in parliament.” The district was considered rural so the Nationalists, then in government, were concerned the Country Party might split the conservative vote in the seat. “They were also very keen to get into parliament their candidate, Stanley Melbourne Bruce, a former officer in the British army who had been awarded the Military Cross at Gallipoli and had returned home to Melbourne after being wounded in the war,” Mr McAleer said. So the parties did a deal and the Country Party withdrew their candidate. In return, the Nationalist Government introduced the preferential voting system. Bruce won the seat - and became Prime Minister in 1923 - and preferential voting has
been in place ever since.

IN BRIEF
Parking plans trial By Derek Schlennstedt Yarra Ranges Council will be trialling new parking restrictions in the Belgrave area for the next three months. Following concerns raised by traders and community members last year, Council undertook a comprehensive assessment of parking restrictions in town. Parking occupancy and survey data was taken over seven days, assessing the needs of traders, residents, shoppers, visitors and rail commuters. The data revealed a high amount of all-day parking utilised by rail commuters in Belgrave, which meant there is reduced parking options for traders, residents, shoppers and visitors close to their destinations. To address this concern, Councillor Mike Clark said Council has installed parking restrictions between 7.30am-9.30am Monday to Friday in the Alexander Car park Lane Car park and Hayes Car park. Council has also installed three-hour parking restrictions between 9am-6pm Monday to Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturdays to one parking area. "We've taken 40 car spaces in the Alexander car park and converted 20 of them into three hour parks and another 20 are all-day parking but from 9:30am onwards, so there is a time restriction of one hour between 7:30am and 9:30am," he said. "In the Hayes car park 20 spaces have been allocated in the same arrangement, with one hour between 7:30am and 9:30am." Cr Clarke said the new restrictions will prevent rail commuters from using these parks before 8.30am, freeing up the parking spaces for other visitors to use all-day parking for other purposes. "This will allow shoppers and visitors to park spaces convenient to access businesses
Parking in Belgrave has long been a problem. 172101 in town," he said. The restrictions will be trialed for three months, and started from Friday, 12 April. Cr Clarke reminded residents that parking compliance officers will be very active over those three months to ensure that the new changes re adhered to. Residents and visitors will be able to share feedback throughout this period online at yrc.
vic.gov.au/belgraveparking. Traders and residents will also be sent a survey at the completion of the trial to gather feedback. Any parking changes will also be reviewed once additional car parking at Belgrave Railway Station is constructed by the State Government - a project currently in the planning stage.
Song tribute for fallen helps to remember By Derek Schlennstedt Anzac Day is a truly significant day on the Australian calendar, and one that Ferntree Gully musician Benny Allen believes people should remember and commemorate. The Ferntree Gully musician is marking the occasion with a new single, ‘We Will Remember,’ released on April 15. Speaking to the Mail the singer-songwriter said he wrote We Will Remember after a conversation with his children about the sacrifices made by those who serve on behalf of our nation. “I really believe that we are so fortunate to live here in Australia,” he said. “And a lot of the reasons we have the freedoms we do, is because of the sacrifices that have been made by those serving to protect our country. “The servicemen and women who fought to protect our country, in all of the conflicts we’ve been involved in - from World War I, right
Ferntree Gully musician Benny Allen is marking Anzac Day with a new single. through to those currently serving to protect the ideals that our country stands for.” We Will Remember captures the poignant story of war, in particular the hardship experienced by those who served on the front line,
during some of our country’s biggest wars. The song was recognised by the Tamworth Songwriter’s Association earlier this year at their annual awards night, and made it through to a finalist position in the hotly contested ANZAC Song of the Year category. All the proceeds from the song if bought on iTunes will go toward Guitars For Vets - a nonprofit organization that enhances the lives of ailing and injured military Veterans by providing them free guitars and music instruction. “I wanted to capture what I was feeling, after talking to my children about what has been sacrificed by other people on our behalf, and why we always need to remember,” Benny said. “The build into the chorus is something I’m particularly proud of - it’s really anthemic, and I can imagine singing it one day at the MCG on ANZAC Day, and having the crowd chanting it back - We Will Remember.” Benny will perform the song at Boronia RSL at the Anzac Day Service.
Input on mental health reform Yarra Ranges residents can share their lived experiences, views and ideas to improve Victoria's mental health system. On Wednesday 17 April, the Royal Commission into Victoria's mental health system opened an online portal to allow people to share written submission, images, audio or video content. The commission is seeking input from those living with mental illness, caring for a loved one, working in the sector or with a general interest in mental health. Contributions can be brief comments or longer, more formal submissions. The submission process takes users through a series of questions on reducing stigma and discrimination, preventing suicide, early intervention and how people access and experience treatment and support. The commission wants to create a future mental health system that meets the needs of all Victorians and every contribution will inform the Royal Commission's reports. The commission is also running community consultation sessions around rural, regional and metropolitan locations during April and May. Penny Armytage is leading the Royal Commission as chair with support from commissioners Professor Bernadette McSherry, Professor Allan Fels AO and Dr Alex Cockram. "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the way we deal with mental health in Victoria," she said. "Through the first consultation sessions, we have already experienced the genuine goodwill felt towards the Royal Commission and the incredible willingness of people to share their experiences and insights, even when this can bring up painful memories." The Royal Commission will deliver its interim report in November this year, with the final report delivered in October 2020. Formal submissions close on 5 July. Visit www.rcvmhs.vic.gov.au or call 1800 00 11 34 for more information.

Living in the Woods La Trobe MP Jason Wood was a strong supporter of Peter Dutton in his attempt to become Prime Minister. That attempt failed to install Dutton, but succeeded in the removal of Malcolm Turnbull, to the sorrow of many. In one of his most outrageous statements, Peter Dutton recently criticised a candidate in his own seat of Dickson for "using her disability" as an "excuse" for why she was not a resident in the electorate. He was later forced to apologise. I'm told Jason Wood lives in Olinda. If so, then what is his excuse for not living in the electorate of La Trobe? The redistribution was nearly a year ago. Doesn't La Trobe have a "posh" enough town for this Liberal? Judith Taylor, Emerald

No need for a scare One of the things most people love about the Dandenong Ranges is its beauty. At this time of the year, in particular, it's absolutely heavenly. So why would anyone want to deliberately
introduce ugliness to this beautiful place? It was bad enough looking at the ghastly, creepy faces on the front of last week's Ranges Trader Mail (Halloween on the move, 9 April) but then I read that at this year's Halloween on the Green there is to be a New-Orleans style procession, complete with vintage hearse, and day-of the dead stilt walkers. This is sheer horror! Isn't there enough ugliness and scariness in the world today without deliberately introducing it to our beautiful region? Jenny Moxham, Monbulk

Here, there, and all over Belgrave By Derek Schlennstedt The HERE ME youth arts project culminated on Saturday 13 April with a Flashmob taking over Belgrave. Local artist and secondary teacher DaniEla Kayler ran the HERE ME workshops, which invited young people aged 13-18 years old to share and interact with their community. The Here Me workshops included group discussions exploring ideas, drama-based activities, learning contact improvisation skills and checking out the public and hidden spaces of Belgrave. Checking out and inhabiting public spaces is exactly what they did, when on Saturday 13 April, Dani and her class of 10 took to the Belgrave streets. "It was great, unbelievable. The weather came to town and it couldn't have been any better," said Dani. "We had a great audience that met us near the train station and then from it gained a bit of momentum and we moved up to the side of the road near the pedestrian crossing. "It was just really joyful seeing people driving through Belgrave and at one point the lights turned green at the pedestrian crossing no one moved, no one honked ... It was amazing."

Fashion lining up for a good cause By Jed Lanyon The women of the Inner Wheel Club of Wandin will present their annual fashion parade at the Wandin North Hall on Friday 10 May at 7.30pm. For 20 years the Inner Wheel Club has raised funds for the national project to cord blood research. Jenny's Shoppe in Monbulk has supported the Wandin Inner Wheel Club by providing a great range of fashion wear for the parades over the many years. The contributions from the fashion parade have assisted in the national total of over two million dollars, which has led to 48 grants being awarded for research projects. Secretary of Wandin's Inner Wheel Club Pauline Barrett said she is looking forward to the annual event. "This is our twentieth year of doing the fashion parade ... I see it as a lot of hard and fun work for a good reward at the end. There is some satisfaction of knowing what we have achieved," she said.

Stormwater project win By Derek Schlennstedt Construction of the Sassafras Creek stormwater project has been completed in time for the Anzac Day event to be held on Village Green. The project which involved excavating and installing tanks four metres beneath the surface of the village green, will reduce significant erosion to the Sassafras Creek and pollution caused by stormwater and debris. The underground tanks will capture and retain stormwater before being slowly released to the creek. The tanks will temporarily hold up to 450kL of stormwater - the size of 2.5 standard household pools and filter pollution from the stormwater, removing litter and contaminants, further improving the water quality of the creek. Cr Noel Cliff said the new tanks and drainage would filter pollution and debris from the stormwater before water is slowly released into the creek, mimicking natural flows. "Reducing the water volume and flow rates will allow the Dandenong and Sherbrooke Amphipod, Dandenong Burrowing Crayfish and Slender Tree Fern to remain supported," Cr Cliff said. "I'd like to thank the Friends of Sassafras Creek group for raising the issue with Council, after noticing fast moving stormwater was wearing away the creek and forming a deep gully." Cr Noel said that pasture land and forests allowed rainwater to filter into the soil but in developed residential areas stormwater flowed directly into drains before entering the creeks. "Stormwater runoff often collects damaging pollutants such as chemicals, oils and heavy metals from cars and rubbish, and carries them directly into creeks and rivers, where they impact our iconic animals like platypus," Cr Cliff said. "The drainage systems allow large volumes of stormwater to flow directly to waterways. "While this is efficient it can lead to a negative environmental outcome. Erosion of stream banks is common and this is precisely what has been happening to Sassafras Creek." As part of the project the 1997 Bushfire Memorial Path has been reinstated. The project was co-funded by Council and Melbourne Water. The orange barrier fencing around the green will come down prior to the Anzac Day event and special event matting will be placed on the grassed area close to the memorial Additional grass seeding will be put down after the event.

VICTORIA’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM DESERVES ITS FAIR SHARE OF FEDERAL FUNDING Every Victorian deserves good health care close to home. That’s why the Victorian Government’s investing in new hospitals and local health services. But Canberra has cut $305 million from Victoria’s health system. This will put even more pressure on Victoria’s growing population. We just want our fair share.

ENTERTAINMENT
Acrobats and snapdragons By Derek Schlennstedt Roll up to the most fantastical showcase of colour, beauty and excitement at this year's Tesselaar KaBloom, Festival of Flowers. Held on Tesselaar's flower farm in Silvan, from 6-28 April, KaBloom is a brand new spectacle where circus arts and flowers collide. Step right up to see the world's first KaBloom circus spectacular where artists from Melbourne's own CircaNICA, the circus agency of the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA), perform a modern extravaganza every day - think contortionists amongst the marigolds, acrobats in the snapdragons and performing jugglers in the petunias. Fun for all the family, children can watch daily performances of the world renowned The
Dahlia Amaldev and Sangeeta Amaldev beside the floral arch. 192724
Circus Firemen, and the best part is children -16 and under- have free entry into the Festival every day. The infamous tractor train will be on continuous rotation around the flower fields where visitors are encouraged to make the most of the instagram worthy views whilst on board. Following in his grand-parents footsteps, fourth generation nurseryman, Paul Tesselaar said that he is thrilled to provide another opportunity for people to visit their well-known flower farm. "There is nothing quite like KaBloom anywhere else in Australia. World class circus arts combined with millions of flowers in bloom provides the perfect stage for an amazing day out."

The Puffing Billy Great Train Race is only a couple of weeks away.
Train race is on track 'Do you think a runner could beat Puffing Billy to Emerald Lake Park?' In 1980, a conversation just like this between Puffing Billy volunteers led to the Great Train Race, a run that is now one of the oldest and most iconic on the Melbourne running calendar. The 38th running of the event will take place on Sunday 5 May, with more than 3000 runners expected to take part. The first Great Train Race was organised in 1982 with 1600 competitors. 8 MAIL

Tuesday, 23 April, 2019
Since then 80,000 people have taken to the Dandenong Ranges to try to out-run Puffing Billy, who tends to chug into Lakeside Station in about 52 minutes. The race record stands at 42 minutes 27 seconds, clocked by Steve Kelly in 2015. Melissa Duncan broke the female record in 2018 with a time of 48 minutes 27 seconds. The Great Train Race is popular with runners due to the unique challenges it presents. While relatively short in length, the 13.5 kilometre course includes three hill climbs in the
first 10kms and a fast-paced downhill run for the final 3km to 4km. The Puffing Billy whistle echoes through the forests and gullies all the while, with runners never knowing if they are in front of the train. The event is a major fund-raiser for the notfor-profit railway, which operates under the steam of more than 600 volunteers. Visit www.greattrainrace.com.au for more information or to register for the race.
Based on the novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary is an initially-clunky but overall chilling and gruesome horror film. After moving to rural Maine, Louis Creed (Jason Clarke) discovers a secluded forest region that can raise the dead. Pet Sematary has a rocky start due to some very poor editing. The first act contains several jarring cuts that skip too much time and space, along with some awkward dialogue. But the film's technique stabilises, ironically, as the Creed family's situation grows more dire. Pet Sematary takes time to establish the forest's macabre qualities and the close, loving bonds within the Creed family. When tragedy strikes the Creeds, our emotional investment in this family makes the grieving Louis's use of the forest cemetery feel all the more plausible. Jete Laurence displays phenomenal range and conviction as Louis's daughter Ellie, portraying a clever, sweet girl and her snide, aggressive reanimated self. The plot's final act has a taut, unnerving escalation, as Louis is punished for his hubris and his family are hunted by manifestations of their repressed grief. Horror, as a genre, is almost unique in its capacity for presenting calm situations breaking down in logical but shocking ways, and Pet Sematary succeeds handsomely - or gruesomely - in this function. Despite an inept start, Pet Sematary is a visceral, well-paced horror film. - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au

CUSTOM-BUILT CLASSIC WITH PHENOMENAL VIEWS
POSITIONED with some of the most breathtaking vistas in Melbourne, the agent says, this Latitude 37 built home needs to be seen to be believed. Low maintenance and energy efficient, this 2018 HIA Awards finalist provides the perfect place to come home to and relax after a long day’s work. The open plan kitchen/dining includes 900mm pyrolytic (self-cleaning) oven, induction cooktop, Miele dishwasher, Quantum Quartz benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, walk-in pantry and under-cabinet lighting. The spacious lounge room has a Jetmaster gas log fire, reverse-cycle airconditioning, and large Airfusion ceiling fan. A central covered and heated alfresco area connects seamlessly to both living zones - the perfect place to entertain and watch the sun set, the agent says. The low-maintenance tiled, salt-chlorinated infinity edge pool, was creatively constructed and engineered by Neptune pools to be at the same level as the living areas. This ensures that the pool is central all year round when taking in the views of the city, Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges.
Four great-sized bedrooms include the master with panoramic outlook, his and hers walk-in-robes, and full ensuite with floor-toceiling tiling and dual vanity. There are two more bathrooms plus a powder room with floor-to-ceiling tiling, wall hung cabinetry and Quantum Quartz benchtops. The office nook has bespoke cabinetry, cleverly designed to hide printer, modems and leads, leaving the bench space clear of clutter. Other features include a smart laundry, remote controlled double garage plus plenty of extra off-street parking on the exposed aggregate concrete driveway, hydronic infloor slab heating, hydronic panel heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and gas log fire place. The agent says there are quality floor coverings, porcelain tiles with rectified edge and supreme plush carpet throughout, and classy window furnishings using superior weather-reflective fabric of the highest quality including Somfy automated blinds system that is remote and phone app operated. Lofty square set ceilings, tall doors and
wide corridors provide a sense of space, and double glazed windows and LED lighting meet a 6 Star energy rating. There's a four-point wireless security camera system, operated from phone app. The agent says the home is cleverly designed so that once the kids leave home the parents could live on one level if they chose to - a house for all stages of life. The professionally-designed garden from Natural Garden Scapes retains a large old fig tree and cleverly introduces a selection of native plants, large mud rock, Corten steel edging, granitic sand paths and integrated garden lighting. The agent says the garden design provides a beautiful low-maintenance outdoor area that compliments the design of the house, including a fire pit area with large rock and log seating. There's also a 5000 litre water tank. This property is located at the gateway to the Dandenong Ranges, with the 1000 Steps Kokoda Track and The Piggery Cafe within close proximity, yet commuting to Melbourne is easy via the Upwey or Upper Ferntree Gully railway stations. â—?

Walter caps off season By Steve Brown The Basin all-rounder Blake Walter capped off a fairy tale season when he was awarded the Jack Feaver Medal for the best and fairest cricketer in Reeves Shield in the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association. Walter polled 24 votes at the Thursday 18 April presentation night, eight ahead of his nearest rival, Knoxfield off-spinner Zac Wilson. In what can be described as a phenomenal year, Walter's list of achievements included winning the association batting average with 571 runs at 63, runner-up in the bowling average and scorer of the highest aggregate of runs (819) during a season including finals in the 71-year history of the FTGDCA. He also won the Stephen Lee Medal for the
best player in the grand final. In Decoite Shield, Lysterfield premiership skipper Nathan Hicks tied with Monbulk's Shane Cosstick for the Ron Lomax Medal. Both players polled 14 votes and were former team mates at Eildon Park. Cosstick added the Lomax Medal to his collection of two Feaver Medals, secured in 2007 and 2008. Other highlights of the awards night included Jayden Turcinovic accepting The Basin's first ever Reeves Shield premiership flag and Rowville's Darren Hill presented with his Over-50s Australian World Cup cap. Braden Taeuber from the Monbulk Cricket Club was awarded the Bob Parish Medal for the best under-21 player in the association.

Major equestrian park in Yarra Valley planned By Jed Lanyon Yarra Glen could soon be home to a multi-purpose equestrian centre that could transform the Yarra Valley into an equestrian hub. The Yarra Valley Equestrian Park (YVEP) body have presented plans to Yarra Ranges Council on Monday 8 April and are now hoping to secure funding from state and federal governments. The Yarra Glen and Lilydale Hunt Club have recently conducted an intensive study and recommended a design for a multipurpose equestrian centre at their property. The not for profit YVEP body was established with an agreement for a 30 year lease on the property subject to obtaining funding by October 2020. Acting chair of YVEP Geoff Sinclair said that the Yarra Valley is the fourth largest region for equestrian participation in Australia with nearly 4000 riders.
"Some people have to travel hundreds of kilometres to go and compete ... If we can create something in the Yarra Valley it means people can train, compete and learn locally." Mr Sinclair said that it would create more events for the sport as other equestrian centres in Tamworth, Elmore, Werribee and Boneo are booked out every week of the year. "Our sport is very multi-disciplined. There's an enormous amount of different disciplines within the sport that would utilise this facility." "It's one of those few sports where people keep going for a long time. It's a sport that lasts a lifetime for a lot of people," he said. Mr Sinclair believes the venue could have multiple purposes to serve the community such as hosting potential animal and cattle shows, four-wheel drive shows, events like Tough Mudder and would act as a retreat for people to bring horses and animals to safety

during bushfire season. But would all be dependent upon securing funding in time before the October 2020 deadline. "If we don't get the funding in that time then the agreement we have with the hunt club for exclusivity runs out and who knows what they will do then. We might lose it altogether," Mr Sinclair said. "We think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity." Construction costs for stage one include incorporating an all-weather arena, grassed arena, updated eventing course, new horse accommodation and improved traffic management, estimated at $5.106 million dollars. Stage two would include an indoor arena, improved horse, camping and visitor amenities and stage three would include an improved club and function space.
These stages are estimated to cost $5.288 million and $2.816 million respectively. YVEP is yet to receive funding at a local, state or federal level. Mr Sinclair implores those who have a strong interest in seeing the development of the Yarra Valley Equestrian Park to contact their local, state and federal members of government to show there is a strong demand for the project. "We have invested over $100,000 to prove that it would work financially, that it would be self-sustaining and that it would be a state of the art centre. "A lot of horsing people in the Yarra Valley would be very sad to see such a beautiful venue gone forever for our grandchildren and our great grandchildren," Mr Sinclair said.

Historic car racer in event By Jed Lanyon Historic car racer Laurie Bennett will defend his Phil Irving Trophy at the 43rd Historic Winton. The Yarra Ranges resident won the M and O category race in his Elfin 600B in 2018 and will be competing in Benalla again this year. The Historic Winton is Australia’s longest running, all-historic motor race meeting and will run from Friday 17 May to Sunday 19 May at Winton Motor Raceway near Benalla. Mr Bennett said he is looking forward to competing. “There are some pretty impressive names that appear on that trophy ... I’d be quite pleased if I could take it off again,” the Healesville man said. “It might be a bit more difficult this year...
I’ve won it three times now but not in successive years.” Over 400 historic racing cars, motorbikes and sidecars from the 1920s to the 1980s will battle it out for line honours as spectators revel in the races, competition paddock, trader market and huge heritage display of veteran and vintage vehicles. More than 2,000 display vehicles are expected to surround the race track on the weekend. Mr Bennett has previously raced in the same category as his son Nick Bennett. “It’s a bit of fun, I keep him under pretty strict control though, he’s not supposed to beat me,” Mr Bennett joked. “You’re probably more aware when its family out on the track with you, you pay a little more attention to what’s going around you.”
Laurie Bennett won the Phil Irving Trophy in 2018.

MOTORING
A new Kluger is coming Toyota has debuted a next-generation Kluger SUV with a bold, distinctive design and advances in safety, comfort, quality and reliability. The world premiere of the fourth-generation Kluger occurred at the New York International Auto Show. It has a sculpted new shape with a 60mm longer body, and 20-inch wheels available for the first time in a Toyota. Inside the three-row cabin are softer padded surfaces and a more tailored appearance. There's added cargo space and an extra 30mm slide for the second row of seats, increasing legroom in the third row. Improved aerodynamic efficiency enhances vehicle stability and results in a quieter cabin, and the versatile multimedia system has an available 12.3-inch touchscreen display, the largest in its class. Underpinning the fresh design is a robust new Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGAK) platform, 220kW V6 petrol engine, front and all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems and Toyota Safety Sense driver-assist technologies designed to help prevent collisions or to mitigate their impacts. Toyota Australia sales and marketing vice president Sean Hanley said the new-generation Kluger was even safer and more enjoyable for families, offering greater visual appeal, new convenience and peace-of-mind technologies, and increased driving refinement. "The new-generation model expands Kluger's role as a genuine crossover vehicle, offering the comfort, convenience and safety of a passenger car combined with the off-road ability of many traditional 4WD vehicles," he said. "Kluger's new platform and driver-assist technologies dial-up the fun-to-drive factor by making it even more agile on all road surfaces as well as being more surefooted with its ability in the bush." Blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert are available depending on the model grade. A reversing camera is standard. The all-new Kluger's mechanical AWD system can send up to 50 per cent of available torque to the rear wheels to counter wheel slip when necessary. Kluger's on-road and off-road performance and safety features also include hill-start assist and trailer sway control with AWD variants offering downhill assist control. In Australia, Kluger has passed 170,000 sales including record sales last year of 14,743 vehicles, making it the best-selling 2WD/AWD vehicle in the large SUV segment. The new-generation Kluger will be launched first in the United States where it is known as Highlander. Timing for its Australian introduction has not yet been determined.

ROAD CLOSURES - HOW IT AFFECTS YOU The following traffic management safety controls will occur on roads between Belgrave and Emerald Lake Park. This will affect the race route and surrounding roads between 7am and 1pm. Please note the race will start at 9am in Belgrave. This is 30 minutes earlier than previous years.
Great Train Race NOTICE TO LOCAL RESIDENTS PUFFING BILLY’S GREAT TRAIN RACE SUNDAY MAY 5, 2019 The race starts at 9am (30 minutes earlier than previous years).
Note: new race route through Emerald. A large number of traffic management personnel will once again join forces with local community groups and Puffing Billy volunteers to minimise disruption to local residents and businesses during Puffing Billy‘s Great Train Race. Now in its 38th year, the Great Train Race will attract 3,000 athletes along with their friends and family to the Dandenong Ranges. Local residents and businesses can expect an influx in traffic throughout the region, particularly between 7am-1pm on race day. A new running route through Emerald takes runners off-road through the township and utilises the Emerald to Cockatoo trail. Prior to race day, road side signs are placed along the route, that winds 13.5km from the start line in Belgrave to the finish line in Emerald Lake Park. Informative road closure/ traffic delay fliers have been distributed to local residents and businesses. Runners have always expressed their gratitude to the local community for their support on race day, and this event would not be possible without the generous assistance of each and every volunteer. You too can be a part of this unique event by stepping out to line the streets on race day, and cheer the runners on to the finish line.
