Foundation complex open Mount Evelyn Christian School celebrated the official opening of its new Foundation Complex in March. The school is experiencing increasing demand and, to keep up with the enrolments, remodelled its existing two foundation classes and added a third. New outdoor undercover spaces were also developed. Member for Casey Tony Smith was in attendance, as were some of the school's long term prep and foundation teachers: Wally Thorpe, Liesje Wilson and Jan Ormrod. Past principal Martin Hanscamp was also there for the special occasion.

The primary choir was in full voice for the event, entertaining guests with songs in between a number of speeches. "We are excited about this new learning space and the opportunities it offers our young students," says Nicole Nyhouse, community relations officer at the school.

Open Days

Students’ achievements Education Week is an opportunity for to celebrate all the wonderful things that are happening at Belgrave South Primary School and the amazing achievements of its students, says principal Stuart Boyle. Science and Technology are an integral part of the learning program for students across the school. Students are currently exploring geology and profiling the local area with the soil and rock samples they have collected and analysed. Junior students are learning about habitats through the eyes of mini-beasts, senior students are developing their skills in computer aided design and modelling while Technology Student Leaders are experimenting with 3D printing. The school's Think Tank Teams challenge students in Mathematics with teams currently completing problem-solving challenges connected to algebra and geometry. The program extends their learning through exposure to advanced mathematics concepts. Mr Boyle says the school also hosts gifted and talented education programs for Science, Technology and the Language Arts. "Our students have been working on many new techniques through the art room with their work on display in the Gum Flower Gallery, our fantastic art gallery space," Mr Boyle says. "The gallery provides the opportunity to showcase the creativity of our students and

encourages them to see themselves as accomplished artists." A music studio anchors the school's performing arts program and is the perfect space for student choirs, rock bands and ensembles to rehearse and share their talent, the principal says. Students are participating in a filmmaking project that will see their film shown on the big screen at the Cameo theatre later this year. An extensive sports program encourages active participation and students regularly represent the school in interschool sport and zone and regional level competition. The student-run restaurant, Sophie's, links with an expanding kitchen garden program to engage students in learning that connects plot to plate. Students have been actively involved in the design and implementation of the program and their current learning is focussed on agriculture and horticulture specifically biodiversity, sustainability, permaculture and selfsufficiency. "Our students are learning how these essential areas intertwine to create a productive kitchen garden while promoting gardening as part of a healthy lifestyle all while providing fresh home-grown produce for our restaurant," Mr Boyle says. "We warmly welcome you to visit our school and take a tour." 12418305-DJ21-19

Cire serves up careers Helping create career pathways for our young people and equipping them with the skills and hands-on experiences they need is a key focus for Cire Training, one of the core services of Cire Services Inc. Through its Vocational Education Training (VET) program, Cire Training's approach is innovative yet practical and realistic. Students are encouraged to embrace the opportunities that abound in their beautiful Yarra Ranges 'backyard', an ever-popular tourist destination for food, wine and outdoor activities. As part of the VET program in VCE, students can undertake Certificate II in Kitchen Operations which provides an excellent stepping stone to career prospects in the hospitality industry in the region or much further afield. The course is delivered by Cire Training in conjunction with Upper Yarra Secondary College (UYSC). It is based at the Trade Training Centre commercial kitchen at UYSC which serves up career pathways for students from the Yarra Valley VET Cluster. Cire Training proactively negotiates catering jobs for students so they gain structured workplace experiences with paying customers. Cire school buses are used to help overcome local transport issues, particularly in the evenings. Recently, the aspiring chefs catered for a Yarra Ranges Linking Learning Dinner with great gusto, showcasing the wonderful array of produce from the region. Not only was the result truly mouth-watering, it ticked many boxes for students in terms of meeting VET requirements as well as inspiring hands-on creativity, collaboration and team work; skills development including numeracy, literacy, and kitchen operations/ catering; confidence building; and fostering connectedness and networks between the stu-

EDUCATION WEEK 2019

Looking towards future There was once a master wood carver, who was known throughout the lands for the strength of his craft. On the young apprentice's first day, he was asked by the master, "How do you carve a wooden spoon?" "Well," said the apprentice, "I decide the shape and size of the spoon, which I then mark on the wood. I then carve the wood into this shape until I have a spoon to do the job I need. Why? How do you carve a spoon?" After a short pause the master craftsman replied, "I listen to the wood. I hear what it has to tell me about becoming a spoon." "Wood doesn't speak." the apprentice laughed. "Perhaps not in words, but each piece of wood is different. How does the grain travel through the wood? Where do the natural knots lie? What type of wood is it - a soft or a hard wood?" the master asked. "Most importantly, how does that wood want to become a spoon? The wood and I work together in this way to uncover what it will become, rather than me only imposing my will upon it. It is in this way the wood can reach its full potential." Education today has the difficult task of preparing children and adolescents for a future that no one knows how it will look. So Little Yarra Steiner School asks: what are the qualities and capacities that will best serve this generation as they move forward into the world and how do we help them develop those qualities in themselves? How do we work with what children inherently bring, rather than only pushing them into what we think they should become? According to the school, this certainly doesn't mean letting children do only what they want, but in fact working with them in a very structured way that helps to develop those qualities that will stand them in good

stead - like resilience, persistence, creativity (in thought and action), empathy, a sense of social awareness and responsibility, to name a few. The school offers a broad program, rich in experience, across all subject areas. All Year 12

students participate in the VCE, some taking up the opportunity to undertake a year-long Independent Project of their choosing, where they focus on a particular area of interest to them.

OPEN DAY & SCHOOL TOURS

Little Yarra Steiner School alumni are positive about how Steiner Education influenced their lives: "I feel that Steiner education provided me with an environment where I felt supported as an individual. Opportunities such as the Year 12 Independent research project allowed me to follow what I loved and gain confidence in my own abilities. These things are influences in every part of my life." Jessie, graduated 2014. "The Year 12 project (e.g. planning and writing a thesis) helped prepare me for university workloads." Josh, graduated 2010. "The more people I meet with dyslexia the more I realise how lucky I am to have gone to a Steiner school. So many of those people beat themselves up over their spelling or slow reading or simply refuse to engage in those practices in public. Whereas, with my upbringing, I've learnt to just accept it as part of one of my many facets. I also think that is why it improved so much, because rather than dwelling on it I've learnt to work on my strengths and trust the rest will fall into place." Holly, graduated 2014. "Steiner education has given me a breadth of knowledge and enhanced my capacity for critical thinking, creativity and problem solving allowing me to readily grasp the opportunities presented to me." Hovig, graduated 2008. Little Yarra Steiner School is set to hold its High School Information Evening on 20th May at 7:00pm, where everyone is welcome to come along and hear more about what they do. Interested parents who would like to hear more about what Little Yarra Steiner School does can book in for a tour through the school's website, www.lyss.vic.edu.au/, or come to an information sessions.

Camping for all A Mount Evelyn camping program is in the running for a state disability award. The Mount Evelyn YMCA Access All Terrain Program is a finalist for the Initiative of the Year title at the Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards. YMCA Victoria delivers the program in partnership with Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Parks Victoria. The camping and outdoor adventure program helps people with physical disabilities increase their skills and confidence to be more active in all-terrain outdoor environments. "People with physical disabilities often experience barriers to participating in outdoors activities such as bushwalking and camping," the awards submission said. "The Access All Terrain program works with adults with a physical disability who are interested in camping under canvas and exploring Victoria's state and national parks. "The aim is that people with disabilities will participate in and benefit from the same outdoor activities as everyone else." The program includes specialist day and weekend-long camping programs delivered at YMCA-managed camps in Mount Evelyn and Camp Manyung in Mount Eliza, and Parks Victoria-managed parks in Wilson's Prom. Participants learn manual wheelchair skills to use in all-terrain outdoor environments and about specialised adaptive recreation equipment. They create a social network with others also interested in exploring the outdoors, and volunteer mentors and expert trainers are also people with disabilities. YMCA Victoria developed the Access All Terrain pilot model in late 2017 in partnership with DHHS and Parks Victoria and tested it in June last year. The pilot was a success and YMCA Victoria secured funding through a DHHS ILC Transition Grant to fully implement the program. YMCA Victoria held the first outdoor day

program at Camp Manyung in September last year with 17 participants. The first overnight, outdoor camp under canvas was also held at Camp Manyung in November last year, with six participants. Pre and post camp surveys revealed participants had improved confidence levels in setting up base with necessary equipment, sleeping out overnight in tents, cooking in the outdoors and manoeuvring their wheelchair in outdoor spaces, especially off-road. "Anecdotally, participants said the program gave them a sense of freedom; the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and natural light after too much exposure to artificial light; confidence to overcome challenges and face the unknown; pride in showing the world they 'can do stuff', and the opportunity to meet and socialise with people who had a similar lived experience," the award submission said. The outdoor camping experience at Wilson's Promontory in March this year is fully subscribed. Other local finalists include Lilydale women's deaf cricket advocate Melissa Hale and Yarra Ranges Council for the Inclusive Sport, Recreation or Open Space Infrastructure Award for the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail chicanes. The Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards celebrates the achievements of sportspeople with disability, the coaches, organisations, officials and volunteers who support them, and the inclusive sport and recreation sector across Victoria. Winners will be announced on Wednesday 22 May.

NEWS

IN BRIEF

Extending the eyes By Derek Schlennstedt A re-elected Morrison Government would contribute $125,000 towards extending the Monbulk CCTV security camera network to provide greater coverage of the Monbulk Recreation Reserve. Liberal Casey MP Tony Smith announced on 9 April that $125,000 would be used to expand the system in Monbulk, which is already linked to the local police station. “The Monbulk Recreation Reserve is behind the community centre and the primary schools, which are located on the town’s main street and currently have no CCTV coverage,” he said. “As the reserve is currently undergoing an upgrade, additional CCTV security cameras

will ensure that these important community assets can be better protected for the Monbulk community. "CCTV security cameras prevent and deter anti-social and criminal behaviour." Already underway is construction of the new community sports pavilion, an extended car park, and new sporting facilities near the primary school. The existing CCTV cameras were installed last year via the Safer Communities Programme as one of a number of networks in the Casey electorate. Monbulk Police Sergeant Luke Schroder said that since the cameras were installed, they had been extremely useful in policing the main street.

“It’s been absolutely fantastic and not only for incidents in Monbulk, but you can see traffic passing through Monbulk too,” he said. “We’ve captured road rage, collisions, graffiti and burglary and thefts. “We probably use it two to three times a week and save the footage.” Since construction on the new pavilion started at the recreation reserve, Sgt Schroder said there had been two break-ins. “We’ve had a couple of incidents there where someone has tried to break in and another incident where some kids damaged the door and got in there,” he said. “We have had a bit of anti-social behaviour around that area so it will be good to monitor that.”

Mount Evelyn fatal Police attended a fatal collision on LilydaleMonbulk Road in Mount Evelyn on 10 May. Police told the Mail that a man on foot was on the road near Hunter Road when a car struck him just after 6.30pm. The 41-year-old Wandin North man died at the scene. The driver of the vehicle - a 30-yearold woman with two young children on board - stopped at the scene and assisted police with their inquiries. Police told the Mail that the victim was wearing dark coloured clothing at the time and due to inclement weather conditions was hard to see. The circumstances of the collision are yet to be determined, but police urged people walking at night to use a torch or wear reflective clothing. Anyone with information or who might have witnessed the incident is urged to contact Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol on 9739 2300 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Car accidents investigated Police are investigating the cause of car accidents on Monbulk Road between McCarthy Road and Old Emerald Road. According to Monbulk Sergeant Luke Schroder, there have been at least five car accidents along the section of road in the past three months. Highway patrol, along with local police members, will undertake an investigation.

Keep an eye out Observant neighbours have assisted police in stopping a burglary. On Friday 10 May at 10am, police were called to a possible break-in on Flora Close in Cockatoo. They apprehended two thieves who forced entry to a home as a result of neighbours ringing triple-zero. Police charged the pair with burglary and they'll face court at a later date.

Road rage Traffic controllers setting up outside Emerald Secondary School were the target of an alleged road rage incident on 24 April. Emerald Police told the Mail that an Avonsleigh man in his forties abused and spat on the traffic controllers before assaulting one and damaging a sign. No injuries were sustained and thanks to members of the public who assisted police with inquiries, officers arrested the man and he'll face court at a later date.

Look for luxury cars The illuminated Vesak pandol.

Vesak shedding light on Buddhism Vesak is the most significant event on the Theravada Buddhist calendar. It commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha, the teacher of the noble path that devout disciples of Buddhism follow to cease all suffering. Vesak Day falls on the full moon day of the month May, which this year is Sunday 19 May. Mahamevnawa Buddhist Meditation Centre (MBMC) in Mount Evelyn will host a weeklong colourful Vesak festival to mark the triple

anniversary of the Supreme Buddha from 18 to 26 May. The centre welcomes all to join the celebrations from 6pm to 10pm on 18 and 19 May at 71 Monbulk Road, Mount Evelyn. Visitors will see the bright and colourful giant Vesak pandol - erected to depict the past lives of the Buddha - lit with thousands of lights, the rotating Vesak lantern and another set of colourful lanterns, along with a canopy of small lanterns.

READ THE BIBLE!

When a candle or oil lamp is lit or a lantern hung during Vesak, they symbolise Buddha's light of great wisdom. When Buddhists give something in charity on the day, they do so recalling the Buddha's perfection of giving, practiced through the long journey of births and deaths with the intention of gaining Enlightenment. All visitors to MBMC will be provided with refreshments, which will include Sri Lankan foods.

Yarra Ranges CIU is appealing for information following the raid, which occurred at a Sheffield Road address between the evening of Friday 3 May and early morning of Saturday 4 May. The house was unoccupied at the time. The thieves took a white Holden Maloo GTSR registered AQD761, a black Mercedes c63S sedan registered ALY200 and a white Tickford Mustang registered AQV760. The Mercedes was found crashed in Kellets Road, Rowville, about 8am on Sunday 5 May. Detectives released images of the two outstanding vehicles they wish to locate.

Working with residents It's a privilege to work with people, community groups, service organisations and local businesses to help deliver for our community. It's been fantastic to have thousands of residents so far participate in the Evelyn Community Survey, which makes sure I know about the issues that matter most to you. Among a number of key issues, you have voiced your concerns about the quality and safety of our local roads, and as your local representative I'll keep working to get the investment in our electorate that we deserve. One of my commitments to you is to advocate strongly for local road upgrades. Earlier this year the Coldstream community was finally successful in their campaign for funding which will ensure traffic lights at

the dangerous intersection of Killara Road and Maroondah Highway becomes a reality. A similar campaign is gaining momentum with the Seville East community. Safety upgrades are urgently needed on the dangerous stretch of Warburton Highway in

Seville East that includes Peters, Joyce, Sunnyside and Douthie roads. There has been at least 20 vehicle accidents involving injuries and one fatality recorded at this stretch since 2014, and locals have told me there are probably many more rear-end bumps that go unrecorded. I have listened to residents, police and CFA volunteers who have shared stories of vehicle crashes at this location, and the fears for the safety of school children when crossing from the bus stops either side. With the State Budget due at the end of this month, I've written to the State Government Minister for Roads and followed up by making a statement in the Victorian Parliament, seeking an assurance from the government that

funds will be allocated to make this stretch of road safer before another unnecessary tragedy. Tragically, there have been 114 lives lost on Victorian roads already this year, including an 85 per cent increase in deaths on country roads from this time last year. It's not fair for our community or the police, CFA or SES who have to attend. I pay tribute to the local residents who have volunteered to set up Seville East Traffic Safety Group, conducting a fantastic, well-attended public meeting where we kicked off the Parliamentary petition that I'm sponsoring. Anyone who supports the call for funding safety upgrades at Warburton Highway in Seville East can sign the petition at the Evelyn Electorate Office, 143 Main Street, Lilydale.

Have your say on plan

‘Littoral Wonder’ By Derek Schlennstedt The 2018 Dandenong Ranges Open Studios wrapped up on 10 May and it was Ches Mills, from Kallista who took out the People's Choice award. Working with Acrylic Ink, Charcoal and Gouache on paper and canvas, her art is described as vibrant colourful paintings that are inspired by her appreciation and wonder of the natural world. Her intricate art piece "Littoral Wonder" won the People's Choice Award and her unique art had people flocking to her studio over the Open Studio weekend. The Kallista painters work reflects her perspective of the natural world from which she draws her inspiration from. "Over the years I've had lots of motivation and inspiration for various motifs, but now it's the environment around me," she said. "Living in the Dandenongs it's just the natural beauty ... when we travel images lodge in my mind and then come out in the paintings." "The paintings are very intuitive they are not planned at all. I just keep working until I feel that its right." That connection with the environment around her is a driving force in her work, and is evident in her wining piece 'Littoral Wonder.' To meet the Open Studios theme of 'Alchemy,' Ms Mills said she focused on rock pools - an idea that came to her after a trip down the Great Ocean Road. "I've been doing a lot of work with rock pools and I love them as they remind me of miniature universes that are always changing" "We spent a week in Kennett River and I watched the rock pools and noticed that with every wave and shift of the ocean the rock pool was different; there was a new colour, shape and texture, and life revealed itself and I thought there is alchemy there."

By Derek Schlennstedt Belgrave locals are invited to help shape the design for Belgrave Station's new multi-deck car park, delivered by the Andrews Labor Government, with an online survey opening on 3 April. The upgraded car park will deliver an extra 470 spaces, improve pedestrian and disability access, as well as improving connections to the township and the iconic Puffing Billy tourist railway. Works will also improve the bus interchange and bicycle storage facilities, making it easier for people to get to and from the station. New lighting, CCTV and improved signage will make the station precinct safer and easier to access. The online survey, which is now live at www.victrack.com.au/belgrave, encourages locals to share their ideas on the look, feel and flow of the carpark. "These 470 extra spaces will see fewer cars clogging up neighbouring streets and more car spaces free in the town centre, which will revitalise the Belgrave shopping precinct," Mr Merlino said. "We will continue to work closely with Belgrave locals to make sure the design is in line with Belgrave's unique character and reflects the surrounding natural landscape." VicTrack staff will be at Belgrave Station regularly to invite people to have their say. Planning, design and community consultation will continue through 2019 and, subject to approvals, construction will commence in 2020.

Ches Mills, from Kallista took out the Open Studios People’s Choice award. Picture: CATHY RONALDS Having been a part of Open studios before, Ms Mills said she was overwhelmed to have received the award. "This is the first time I won the people's choice and I was very genuinely excite and quite overwhelmed," she said. "It's very humbling and really special for me, as it makes you feel like people are connecting and understanding what I was trying to say in that painting."

As for what Ms Mills is trying to convey in her painting is appreciation for the natural world. "Rather than doing protest paintings of dismay I'm hoping that I reflect the beauty of the world we live in and why it's so precious and that we need to do something to protect it and look after it." In second place came Jessie Yvette Journoud-Ryan and in third was Joy Serwylo.

IN BRIEF

A moveable feast By Derek Schlennstedt To celebrate Neighbourhood House week, 30 neighbourhood houses in Melbourne’s southeast are running a Moveable Feast from Friday 10 May to Saturday 18 May. The Yarra Ranges Council is home to 11 community neighbourhood houses, seven of which will be taking part in the event alonsgide more than 400 across Victoria. Coonara House in Ferntree Gully’s manager Leanne Fitzgerald said that although the centres did great work year-round, Neighbourhood House Week provided a real opportunity for them to showcase their great work and extend their reach to those in the community who might not yet be aware of what their local house had to offer. “Coonara Community House is doing a lunch and they’ll run a lunch that focuses on using the harvested food from their community garden and giving people a tasty fresh meal and an opportunity to meet new people,” she said. Ms Fitzgerald said that studies had shown that loneliness and feelings of disconnect were increasingly prevalent, and that she hoped anyone having those feelings could come to the Moveable Feast to enjoy a meal in a welcoming environment. “Neighbourhood and community houses work at the heart of their communities, offer-

Ms Fitzgerald said anyone was welcome. The Moveable Feast will officially start in the Yarra Ranges on 15 May with a breakfast at Yarra Junction Community House. A morning tea at Woori Yallock Community House will follow, then lunches at Seville Community House and Coonara Community House, an afternoon tea at Mount Evelyn Community House, and finally dinner at the Chirnside Park Community Hub. Selby Community House will host a morning tea on 17 May and Japara Community House will follow suit on 18 May.

Sassafras schools safer By Derek Schlennstedt The Andrews Labor Government is boosting safety for students, parents and teachers at two Sassafras schools with the installation of new electronic speed signs. Member for Monbulk James Merlino switched on the new speed signs at Sassafras Primary School on Friday 3 May making it easier for drivers to see the speed limit and slow down around the school. New electronic speed signs have also been newly installed at the prep-Year 12 Sherbrooke Community School.

Both schools are located on the popular Mt Dandenong Tourist Road which carries around 10,000 vehicles a day. “We’re making sure our Sassafras schools are safer for everyone during school drop-off and pick-up,” said Mr Merlino. “With the Dandenongs being such a popular tourist destination, these highly visible electronic signs will clearly identify school areas and warn drivers to slow down.” A 40kmh school speed zone is in place around both schools between 8am and 9.30am and 2.30pm and 4pm on school days.

The Freemasons Foundation Victoria has donated $5000 to the Eastern Health Foundation to purchase a vital signs monitor for the Angliss Hospital. At the monthly in February, the Blue Dandenongs Freemason Lodge made the decision to donate the money to a worthy cause in the community. John Di Donna told the mail that “Lodges throughout Victoria had been asked to nominate worthy causes and members had voted to award the money to their local hospital as almost every member has attended the Angliss

over the years.” “I’m 83-years-old and the average age in the lodge is 84, so there’s not one of us who hasn’t been to the Angliss,” he joked. The $5000 donated to the Angliss allowed the hospital to purchase a purchase a vital signs monitor, which can measure pulse oximetry, blood pressure, temperature, respiration and much more. Mr. Jason Smith, a Director of Eastern Health Foundation, attended the May meeting of the Blue Dandenongs Lodge at Belgrave to thank them for recommending this grant to the hospital. He also presented a Certificate to the Mas-

Yarra Ranges residents can save money on new composting equipment thanks to a rebate running until 30 June. The council is offering up to $40 back to residents who buy eligible items for home composting. “Some people might see composting as something a bit too difficult for them, or something that’s going to stink out their house, but that’s simply not the case,” Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said. “The reality is composting is easy and manageable when you’ve got the right equipment - such as an airtight Bokashi Bucket - and it reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill. “Food waste makes up nearly half of the contents of our rubbish bins, and composting easily turns that waste into something useful for your garden.” Cr Stevenson said there were composting options to suit all types of homes. “Compost bins suit homes with larger back yards, with a mix of food waste and garden clippings which can be mixed with dry materials, like fallen leaves or scrunched newspaper,” he said. “Worm farms, meanwhile, suit homes that have food waste but don’t have access to dry materials. “They need a bit more maintenance to make sure the worms are healthy, but they create a high-nitrogen fertiliser. “Bokashi Bins ferment food waste and are meant to be kept in the home, under a bench or in a cupboard - they’re airtight, so they shouldn’t smell, and they reduce food waste while also making a form of fertiliser.” All Yarra Ranges residents are eligible for the compost rebate, provided their items are new and the receipts are dated between 1 November last year and 30 June this year. Only one rebate is available per household. Visit one of the council’s community links or yarraranges.vic.gov.au/compostrebate.

BMX bandits and skating sensations are being asked for their feedback on the design of Cockatoo’s Alma Treloar Reserve’s BMX pump track and skate upgrades. The reserve is set to receive a $350,000 upgrade this year, which will include a new pump track and improvements to the existing skate park. Cardinia Shire Council adopted the masterplan in 2018 which included extensive engagement with the local community. Many community members believed the installation was of high priority. The upgrades are expected to commence in July with completion expected by the end of October. Community consultation for the design of the pump track and skate park will be held at Allan Bailey Hall, Alma Treloar Reserve in Cockatoo on Wednesday 22 May, with a drop in session from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and a community meeting workshop from 6pm to 8pm.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING... Battery swap Swap battery technology I suggest started way back in 2001 when the Philippines embarked on a program of replacing 3.5 million two stroke petrol tuk tuks from their streets. With help from the Asian world bank, 20 brand new tuk tuks where built in a large factory on the island of Cebu by Prozza a local company. These three wheelers are called Pecolo and the whole new venture was launched by President Aquino nearly 20 years ago. The Philippines taxi used one large battery possibly 20 to 25 kilograms which had to be lifted out of the taxi and slid into the recharging station and a fully charge battery placed back inside of the taxi, quite an effort. Laos has recently started a program to remove petrol tuk tuks from their roads using a company called JICA. Now more recently ACM, a German company, have developed a taxi with four swap batteries with financial assistance from the German government. These batteries weigh less than 10kg and can be readily removed and swapped. Now I have sent emails to most politicians with no success for this ground-breaking technology. Australia needs to get behind this new technology and support the introduction of swap battery technology for all electric vehicles. Most importantly, Australia needs to introduce legislation to ensure that a standard battery is rolled out throughout the country so it does not matter where you are, you will have the confidence that you can get recharged batteries for your car. One important aspect of battery swap technology is that the buyer of a new electric car does not have to buy a new battery.

That can be owned by a third person who has a battery swap facility in the main street. Batteries are expensive and could represent 10 to 20 percent of the cost of a new car, thus not buying the battery reduces the cost of a new car and encourages new start up business. Now with a federal election on the way, when you run into a local politician make sure you ask him or her if they support swap batteries for electric cars. Most won't know what you are talking about. And ask if they support a uniform design for swap so they can be distributed throughout Australia with confidence. Electric vehicles will be a big part of Australian culture in five to 10 years' time. Bruce Johnson, Silvan

Dangerous driving When will Belgrave police do something about the horrendous driving behaviour in and around Tecoma and Belgrave? I have spoken to an officer at Belgrave police with regards to the amount of drivers running stop signs at McNicol and Station, McNicol and Clifford and McNicol and Burwood. My request for action was basically fobbed off by the officer that 'our presence would have no effect (sic)'. I was almost wiped out today by a delivery van at McNicol and Clifford - one of the most dangerous intersections in the Dandenongs. When will we see definitive action and an actual police presence before someone is killed? It is only a matter of time - it is inevitable. The road toll is high enough! Please do something!

Uke can do it here By Derek Schlennstedt Websters dictionary defines a ukulele as a small guitar of Portuguese origin popularised in Hawaii in the 1880s and strung typically with four strings. Now that you have a bit of background knowledge on it, we think it's the ideal time to familiarise your ears with the magical sounds these devices can produce. What better way to do that than by attending this year's Hills Ukulele festival which run from 18-19 May. The Hills Ukulele Festival is back on at Emerald Primary School promoting all things ukulele. Festival Director, Dan MacEoin said the festival line-up features a diverse range of worldclass ukulele performers, ukulele groups and workshops. "This year, the Hills Ukulele Festival has 10 workshops, 8 Featured Artists, 18 community groups, 3 stages, 6 primary schools, 2 secondary schools, group strum-alongs, open mics and a raffle," Mr MacEoin said. "We have more and more bands and three stages running this year on the Sunday, but also free workshops for school teachers and students. "One aspect of the festival that sets it apart from other music events is that all Saturday workshop participants are welcomed to the main stage during the Gala Concert to play their workshop song with the featured artists ... how many music festivals have that level of inclusivity?" Mr MacEoin, who is also the music teacher at Emerald Primary School, is a strong advocate for the ukulele as a tool for teaching music theory. He said the ukulele was a great instrument for people to play and was becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages.

Additional information (ticketing, workshops and performers) can be found on their website www.ukulelefestival.com.au as well as their Facebook page Hills Ukulele Festival (HUF). "If you ever want to feel welcomed, show up to a ukulele event, you won't find a nicer bunch of people," Mr McEoin said.

Based on the 2016 video game of the same name, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is a cute yet often-heartbreaking fantasy comedy. In a world full of magical creatures called Pokemon, Tim Goodman (Justice Smith), a former Pokemon trainer, teams up with a plucky talking Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) to investigate a conspiracy concerning Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing father. No prior knowledge of Pokemon is required; in fact, Detective Pikachu is surprisingly grounded for a film about the exploits of a wisecracking electric mouse. Reynolds combines sensitive pathos with his trademark lightning-fast wit, and Smith is deeply engaging as a melancholic yet driven young man who is torn between finding his estranged father and letting go of his lonely past. Beyond the charming dynamic between Tim and Pikachu, the film has a vibrant setting, wonderfully expressive CGI for its creatures and an engrossing, well-paced plot. Tim and Pikachuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation and their budding friendship develop hand-in-hand, and the narrative delivers a steady trail of intriguing clues, features clever foreshadowing and builds toward some genuinely surprising twists. The action set-pieces are creatively-staged and achieve a slapstick feel while still maintaining a strong sense of peril. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is a whimsical but deeply moving and well-structured adventure. - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au

HOME FOCUS

A MUST-KNOW STORY ABOUT MAST GULLY A young first home buyer that has lived in the Dandenong Ranges for most of his life was inspecting a home that Ranges First National had for sale in Mast Gully Road, Upwey. The agent heard him chatting to his partner's family about the history of Mast Gully and thought about the significance of the name and area, then and now. What we now know as Upwey was once called Mast Gully. The trees in this location were known for being straight and long, perfect for a ship's mast. In 1850 the mast for the barque Admiral was cut there and a thriving timber industry was born. It would have been quite commonplace to see a dray (a truck or cart without sides) or a team of bullocks bringing timber to mill or in later years to load onto a train. It was many years later that the three Tullidge sisters bought a property in Mast Gully and in 1897 changed the name to Upwey - on the River Wey, in direct homage to a quaint English village. In 1900 a station was needed to service the new railway from Upper Ferntree Gully to Gembrook and the Upwey station opened. The local community then adopted the name and Upwey stands proud today. Today the early days are remembered with namesakes, Mast Gully Road and Mast Gully Creek. Upwey continues to attract people today. Buyers from all over the world come to live in this idyllic part of Melbourne and Mast Gully Road is one of the most soughtafter streets. Buyers love the close proximity to rail services, schools, shops and also the stunning valley views, nearby national parks and fresh air. First National Real Estate holds data

Concerns aplenty for Wandin team By Nick Creely The challenges for the Yarra Valley clubs venturing down to the wide expanses of the southeast in the inaugural season of AFL Outer East was always going to be interesting. But after a second-consecutive drubbing in the Premier Division, there are now genuine danger signs for Wandin if they can't find a way to be competitive in the south-east. After Beaconsfield torched the Dogs by 110-points in a three-goal team performance at Holm Park, Nick Adam's group were simply blown away by Cranbourne at Casey Fields on Saturday, 25.14 (164) to 3.11 (29). Remarkably, the Dogs have conceded 45 goals to six in these previous two matches, and have been unable to keep up on the larger grounds. In Saturday's clash, the Dogs actually kicked two opening term goals to just trail by fourpoints at quarter time, but the Eagles' speed, dare and ball-movement proved irresistible, booting 22 goals to one in the final three terms, with 9.7 to 0.1 coming in the final term alone. On yet another dirty day for the Dogs, Anthony Vella (five goals), Shaun Marusic (four goals), Mitch Tharle (four goals) were all dominant forward of centre, while Jordan Bertrand, Stuart Morrish and Glenn Osborne were in complete control across half-back. In other matches across the Premier Division, Narre Warren 21.14 (140) were too good for a much-improved Healesville 7.8 (50), a left-foot snap from Tim Gunn in the dying moments gave Berwick a 7.8 (50) to 6.12 (48) victory in 'The Battle of the Creek' over Beaconsfield, while Woori Yallock held off a competitive Olinda Ferny Creek, 11.8 (74) to 6.9 (45). Upwey Tecoma had the bye. In Division 1, Officer finally broke through for the much-needed win to kickstart their season, pulling away from Warburton Millgrove away from home, 16.17 (113) to 6.10 (46). It took until the second-term for the Kangaroos to assert their dominance over the Burras, increasing their eight-point quarter time lead to 34 at half-time after an unanswered fourgoal quarter. And finally, the Kangaroos were able to break the shackles and play the football that all from the outside knew they were capable of, kicking 10 goals to six in the second-half to

By Michael Clarke It was another wet morning for cross country for Yarra Ranges Athletics, this time at Morrison Reserve in Mount Evelyn on Saturday 11 May. Drizzle made the tireless set-up team’s task a bit less enjoyable, but all races were run without any rain. The ground underfoot was soft and wet, so any personal bests were definitely earned the hard way. The results have more than 100 finish times despite the conditions. The next cross country will take place on Saturday 18 May at Lillydale Lake. The club welcomes all athletes of any age or ability. For information on how to join or trial, photos, results and updated news, visit yarrarangesathletics.org.au or find the club on Facebook.

gain their first points of the season. Recruit Brent Moloney was in the goals with four next to his name, while Jayce Valentine, Harris Wassylko and Tyler Clark had a big say on proceedings. Elsewhere, Pakenham moved to 4-0 with a professional win against Mount Evelyn at home, 10.10 (70) to 5.12 (42), Monbulk also remain undefeated after taking care of Emerald in a 13.19 (97) to 6.12 (48) win at Chandler Reserve, while Doveton 9.20 (74) overcame a slow start to defeat Belgrave 8.10 (58). Division 2 action saw Gembrook Cockatoo pinch a thrilling win despite trailing for most of the day against Powelltown, 11.17 (83) to 10.9 (69). The Brookers trailed narrowly at every change and by just six-points at three quarter time despite having four more scoring shots, but saved their best for last.

Slamming on four-goals to one in the final term, the Brookers ran over the top to seal the four-points, with Colin Bastow, Brenton Jones and Darcy Williams extremely influential in the important moments. It moves the Brookers into sixth on the ladder with a 2-2 record, making the win all the more important. Elsewhere in Division 2, Alexandra were too strong for Yea, 17.11 (113) to 10.6 (66), Kinglake defeated Yarra Glen in a cracking 13.7 (85) to 9.9 (63) contest, and Seville dominated Thornton Eildon, 22.22 (144) to 4.8 (32). Yarra Junction had the bye. Looking ahead to this Saturday, and the whole league will take a week off as AFL Outer East venture up to Bendigo for their interleague clash. The squad is set to be formally announced this Thursday at the jumper presentation at Beaconsfield.

Mixed Mother’s Day fortunes for Hawks It was a round of Mother's Day matches as the Monbulk Junior Football Club Hawks battled away against Healesville on Sunday 12 May. Players worked hard with competitive team spirit making all mums proud. Under-9 Monbulk vs Healesville Awesome playing conditions produced an outstanding game by the under-9s. During the week the side practiced handballing while being attacked and playing on from a mark. This showed all through the match, with great hit-up marks and hand balls. Best: T. Burke, M.Gurpinar, T. Phyland, C.Cotter, L.McConchie, M.Fraser. Under-10 Monbulk vs Healesville The side was up against a strong opposition but was strong and competitive in the contest and worked hard to score a couple of goals in the last quarter. Best: N.

Round four of the AFL Outer East competition pitted Olinda Ferny Creek against Pakenham and Woori Yallock in netball. First up it was the 17 and under grade that took on Pakenham at Pakenham. It was a competitive game throughout with the young Swannies continually nipping at Pakenham's heels but never being able to get their nose in front on the scoreboard. Pakenham secured a six-goal victory. Ava Van Leemput, Adriana Hawkins, Hannah Pace and Ella Grigg were the best players for Olinda Ferny Creek. The rest of the day's action was at Olinda Recreation Reserve, where the hosts took on Woori Yallock across the four open grades. In D-grade, Olinda Ferny Creek recorded a strong 24-goal victory, with evergreen Michelle Tomlinson, Sarah Thornton and Emmalee Keegan among the best players. C-grade was a much closer contest throughout, but in the end it was Olinda Ferny Creek prevailing by nine goals. Katelyn Steven was best on court and wellsupported by Jess Horner and Samara Miller. B-grade was a solid performance by Olinda Ferny Creek, winning every quarter to run away with a 17-goal victory. Bron Simpson had another sensational game in defense, with Nic Millwood and Dana Portarianos also very good in the victory. In A-grade it was another powerful performance from the Olinda Ferny Creek girls, who eventually ran away with a 54-goal victory. Krista Tomlinson, Elly Stewart and Ashlee Howard were among the best players. The competition with take a break next Saturday with the Worksafe Championships on.
