Service of Steele By Jed Lanyon Dixons Creek resident and Mount Evelyn RSL life member Tom Steele has received the Anzac of the Year Award for his extensive community work over the years, including playing the bugle at countless Anzac services across the Yarra Ranges. "I was shocked, I didn’t believe it," he said. “It means a great deal to me, I’m very humbled by it.” Anzac of the Year Awards are made annually by the RSL to an individual or a group in each state/territory to recognise the efforts and achievements of up to seven Australians who have given service to their fellow Australians and to the community in a positive, selfless and compassionate manner. Mr Steele served as a member of the Victorian Police Force for 38 years rising to the rank of Senior Sergeant, served in the Citizens Militia Force and volunteered with Dixons Creek CFA for 28 years. He performed in the Police Band, was involved in local sports as a football umpire and cricket player and played the Last Post at war cemeteries across Europe. “I know that a lot of people come to the services and listening to the Last Post is what they like to hear and it stirs the memory,” Mr Steele said. “For me, I try to do the absolute best job I can do, not only for the people who come, but to honour the soldiers who didn’t come home.” Local military historian and chair of the Seville War Memorial Committee Anthony McAleer said, “Every district needs a Tom Steele - a person who is always prepared to assist and volunteer in their community in any way they know will benefit it. “Over the decades he has displayed an almost tireless effort in anything he has been involved in and has worked hard in numerous ways that has helped and positively affected so many individuals and groups, especially in the Shire of Yarra Ranges,” Mr McAleer said. Mr Steele thanked Mr McAleer and Mount Evelyn RSL President Roger Boness for nominating him for the award.

By Derek Schlennstedt Now is the time to start making your own lanterns to be a part of the 13th annual Belgrave Lantern Parade on Saturday, 22 June. Each year, Belgrave Main Street is reclaimed by the people with thousands flocking to take part in one of the best and biggest communitymade spectacles. Lantern crew member, Renate Crow said this year's festival will continue to build on that community spirit and said many older lanterns will be making a comeback. "The enthusiasm for the Lantern Festival is quite magnetic and it makes people happy," she said, "Even though it's dark and cold, there's this glow on the town and on the faces of the people. "We'll have many of our old favourites; the lyrebird and powerful owls and the owl and pussycat." In its 13 years, the festival has become a firm fixture of the hills calendar and while aspects of the event have changed, Renate said their still remains enduring lanterns from the very first year. "Mr Radiance will be coming out who is the first original lantern ... it's magnificently painted and a beautiful happy face." "A lot of hours go into maintaining Mr Radiance and the older lanterns, but we've always got new ones coming in." For those wanting to make their own lanterns, workshops are taking place in the leadup to the event and the last unbooked workshop is on 15 June. Don't despair if you can't attend though, as Ms Crow said there are all sorts of creative lanterns that can be made from items around the house.

"You can use sticks from then garden or bamboo stakes, then some grease proof paper and diluted PVA glue to cover it." "Make sure there's candle space, or you can use battery lights too. "Milk bottles and yoghurt containers are really cool ones too ... you can do anything just get creative with what you have at home." This year there's also the chance to become involved in the festival. The entire festival is community run and and Ms Crow told the Mail that volunteers were a vital role in ensuring the event runs smoothly.

Volunteer jobs can include; carrying lan-

terns, parade guide and helping with signage and there are also opportunities to help with building the lanterns.

Entries for the annual Woorilla Poetry awards close in just a few weeks and this year organisers are hopeful that more young people will enter and showcase their creativity. The national competition draws thousands of entries from around Australia, and has been running since the 1980's. Organiser and co-founder Maria Millers encouraged accomplished and aspiring poets all over Australia to be involved in the 2019 competition by submitting their work by June 30. Ms Miller particularly urged younger people to enter, even if they had no prior experience with poetry. "The Australian poetry writing scene is becoming more dynamic and exciting and what is happening is that there seems to be a reaching out for a new sense of identity, in all its wonderful diversity," she said. "New voices are emerging as people realise that poetry is a powerful form of self - expression, now freed from the rigid rules of the past

- after all, some of the best lyricists, rappers and performers today are really poets." "Since each one of us has had different life experiences poetry is a wonderful way to show your unique perspective on life and the things that often we can't express verbally turn out to be very beautiful on a piece of paper. "The PAVE Woorilla Poetry Prize for 2019 allows you to do just that, whether your poetry is about pig farming, frustrations of work or public transport; the wonder of some aspect of nature; hope for a better world or the celebration of love in all its forms. Every subject is up to be explored in poetry." Deadline for submissions close midnight June 30 with the awards presentation scheduled for 2pm, August 25 at the Gem Theatre in Emerald. The top prize for the Open Section is $1000 with the runner-up receiving $250. The Youth Section winner will be awarded $200 and the runner-up $50. Entries to the open section are $10 each or 3 for $25, and entry to the youth section (12-18) is free. mailcommunity.com.au

IN BRIEF

Yard crash course By Casey Neill Peter Smith is no stranger to car crashes. The Upper Ferntree Gully Fire Brigade Captain has attended plenty over his years with the CFA. But he never expected one in his own front yard. Mr Smith heard one loud bang and then a second about 7.30pm on Sunday 19 May. He stepped out his front door to investigate and saw the car that had been parked opposite his Albert Street home shunted about nine metres up the road and onto the nature strip. He wondered where the car that had done the damage was, and turned to return inside for his torch and captain’s portable radio. There he spotted the car, wedged between his house and front fence. “It had missed the gas main by 15 millimetres,” he said. “I’ve opened the passenger door and I’ve said ’are you alright mate?’. Mr Smith said the response was less than

complimentary, so he responded by jamming a wheelie bin between the fence and the driver’s door and waited for police. Officers attended and called in a critical incident response team (CIRT). Mr Smith said it took three hours to clear the scene and transport the driver to a hospital. “Our street is the main access point to the Angliss Hospital emergency,” he said. “Our house had to be totally evacuated.” Not referring to this specific incident, Mr Smith urged Dandenong Ranges residents to be alert to what was going on in their neighbourhood. He said local CFA crews were generally first on-scene to car crashes and too often encountered drug-affected drivers. “People have got to be aware that this is in every street,” he said. “I feel for my guys.” In one incident, Mr Smith said a father ran his drug-affected son off the road to stop him

from travelling any further. He said the son had a machete in the car with him. “It got called in as a car accident,” he said. “It’s a scourge that’s happening.” A Victoria Police spokesperson said that making sure people were safe and felt safe was top priority. “Police are committed to reducing the harm caused by drugs in the community,” they said. “That is why we relentlessly investigate and pursue the traffickers and dealers who are profiting from this trade. “If members of the public do witness any criminal or anti-social behaviour, or are concerned for their safety, we urge them to contact triple-zero for an immediate police attendance.” With any information about someone who is manufacturing or dealing drugs, the spokesperson urged people to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an anonymous report at www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Noel’s health knock shows some heart By Casey Neill A routine medical check-up landed Yarra Ranges Councillor Noel Cliff in an operating theatre. The Streeton Ward representative is recovering from open heart surgery, staying with long-time colleague Cr Len Cox. Cr Cliff told the Mail he hadn't been feeling well so his doctor sent him to Box Hill Hospital for a heart test. It was supposed to be a day procedure, but when he ready to go home the doctor told him he wasn't going anywhere. "He said 'we can't let you go'," Cr Cliff said. He asked for a few weeks to get his farm and other business in order, but was told in no uncertain terms that this was not possible. Heading into surgery was pretty nervewracking. "I used to work in a meat packing shed, years and years ago," he said. "The first thing it reminded me of? That. "They took a vein from my wrist to my elbow out and used that to repair the damaged stuff in my heart. "My heart was clogged up, basically." He was released from hospital a few days later, to stay with Cr Cox who "didn't bat an eyelid" and immediately offered to help. "He's a good mate," Cr Cliff said. "I'm told I can't drive my car for 16 weeks. "I'm like a caged up lion at the moment. "I've got a fabulous lot of friends who are acting as chauffeurs for me. "As good as that is, it's not the same. "I'm relying one everyone else, which goes against my grain a bit. "I like to help others."

Monbulk police allegedly found a cannabis crop growing in a Monbulk garage when executing a warrant on Tuesday 4 June. Police said they located 11 large plants, a large bag of dried cannabis and an electrical bypass. They charged a 58-year-old man with cultivating and possessing cannabis and he'll face court at a later date.

Councillor Noel Cliff in 2017, during a term as Yarra Ranges Mayor. 170631 He said the support he'd received had been "really quite gobsmacking". "The guys at the office have taken over all my stuff," he said.

He said his constituents could pop into the Upwey Community Link for help during his recovery, or call Yarra Ranges Council. "They can still get things done," he said.

Police for the second time shut down a massage parlour that was surreptitiously offering more than just massages. Monbulk Sergeant Luke Schroder told the Mail that the business was acting illegally and was given notice to vacate. He said it was unlikely that they would return as this time the property manager was under strict instructions. Sgt Schroder also reiterated that there were no concerns about the Monbulk Massage Centre, which is located opposite the police station. “We have no concerns whatsoever about Monbulk Massage Centre,” he said.

A man was shot after three men forced their way into his home in Emerald during the early hours of this morning, 10 June. Police and emergency services responded to reports of an aggravated burglary and shooting in Emerald about 4.30am. Investigators have been told three men forced their way into a property on Cornish Road. One of the men, described as Caucasian in appearance shot the male occupant of the house in the leg. The three men fled the scene on foot to a nearby vehicle that was seen in the same street west of the victim's house. Two other people who were home at the time were not physically injured. It is believed the parties involved are known to each other. The 53-year-old Emerald man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined and the investigation remains ongoing.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

Lilydale War Memorial The war memorial was erected on the then Memorial Oval in the 1920s by the community and the shire to remember those men and women who served our country from the North-Western Riding. The monument was officially unveiled on 19 May 1922 by His Excellency, the Earl of Stradbroke, Governor of Victoria in the presence of the largest concourse of people which has ever assembled in the streets of Lilydale. The memorial was elected to remember those local residents who gave their lives in the Great War. When the memorial was first erected it had a soldier statue on top of it.

"A very large crowd gathered in Lilydale's Main Street on Sunday to take part in the Anzac Commemorative Service and to witness

the unveiling of the new war memorial. "The monument, recently redesigned, now bears the names of the men from the North and West Riding of the Shire of Lillydale, who paid the supreme sacrifice in both world wars. "The resemblance to a flaming torch replaces the old statue at the top of the column and when illuminated at night time will be an even more fitting tribute to those who gave so much for freedom." Speaking at the unveiling, Colonel TP Cook said the monument is in "the centre of the district from which they hailed ... There will be many returned soldiers and the general public

who will notice it - and noticing it - will think upon its significance and so recollecting, remember what the men did for them." A memorial wall has now been added which carries the names of local citizens who served in other conflicts - Malaya, Vietnam, Borneo, United Nations Peace Keeping Force and the Victorian Mounted Rifles. More information about the War Memorial, other places, events or people is available at www.lilydalehistorical.com.au or by emailing info@lilydalehistorical.com.au.

Opposed to pokies

Container deposit support

Monbulk Bowling Club is proposing a 33 per cent increase in poker machines. Now this is ridiculous for a small country town. I thought the club was on council land, but no it is owned privately. I thought bowling clubs were community facilities by the community for the community, but I was wrong. Pokies suck dry community spare cash just like a vacuum cleaner. Some may say they are parasitic. Now what the hell is going on with this socalled club when Woolworths shareholders are wanting the company to get out of pokies as it is not a good look, yet Monbulk Bowling Club is going in the opposite direction? Many people in Monbulk already suffer from losses at the pokies in Monbulk, do we want more people to suffer? Bruce Johnson, Silvan

On World Environment Day, on 3 June, community groups from around Victoria were busy saying 'yes to CDS'. This was because Victoria desperately needs a container deposit system (CDS) like they have had in South Australia since the late 1970s. Only then will our community groups, sporting clubs and charities have the opportunity to 'turn trash into cash' and begin making serious money from cans and bottles just like the scouts do in South Australia. Also, only then will we get cans and bottles out of our waterways, off our roadsides and out of all public places. Community groups and individuals that would like to participate in Say Yes to CDS can email pcook@wildcoast.net.au or go to www.50m.org.au. Peter Cook, Clematis

LETTERS Wood must unite, not divide Your article 'Wood will make good on pledges' lists the bag of largesse the re-elected Jason Wood brings to his electorate of La Trobe: road works (some many years into the future), new mobile base station, money to sporting clubs and a new dedicated children's department for Casey Hospital. But it is in his elevated role as the new Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs that I question whether he is the right choice for this sensitive and most important position. Sometime before the election I received in my letterbox a pitch black envelope with a graphic of a hooded person, not clearly identifiable as to ethnicity but highly suggestive of someone who was black. Emblazoned across the front were the words 'Do you feel safe at home?' Inside was a questionnaire to fill in and send back with my concerns. This to me was clearly a blatant and insen-

sitive exercise in push-polling and dog whistling, aimed at making sure that safety was upmost in people's minds before the anticipated election. This tone continued throughout his election campaigning with a huge billboard outside the polling booth where I voted, again employing emotive use of language (violent thugs and criminals) and playing on people's fears. Every person wants to be safe but disturbing racial rhetoric is divisive, ignores the true statistics about crime, avoids facing up to issues such as violence towards women, and is not the way to achieve community cohesion and wellbeing. I hope that Jason Wood will prove me wrong and will make another pledge: to work towards uniting the community, while celebrating its wonderful diversity. Maria Millers, Emerald

Change for better ing light of the recent developments on their way to the Dandenong Ranges. "We live in a unique environment and once it's gone it's gone for good," she said The meeting edified residents about developments that have already been approved or are in the process of being approved. Both the Monbulk apartment development and Belgrave Motors development were described in the meeting as inappropriate and many attendees raised their concerns about the unique leafy environment in the Dandenong's being threatened by these developments. "These sorts of developments in country towns are just terrible planning," said one Selby resident. "We moved here 20 years ago because it was not the suburbs and we wanted to get

away from the suburbs but if you're putting the same architecture in and those big scale developments then we turn what is still a little oasis just an hours drive from Melbourne into another suburb," said a Tecoma resident. "Communities are being sacrificed at the altar of these developments." The New Belgrave Motors Development is described as stretching 120 metres along Monbulk Road and is set to include a supermarket, childcare centre, shops, offices and a two-level parking station. Council is also currently assessing an application for the development of shops and 21 apartments, with associated vegetation removal, for 22-26 Main Road, Monbulk.

By Derek Schlennstedt When you buy a house and move to a new neighbourhood in a new community, you want to make sure that the neighbourhood stays that way. Everything changes, of course and you just need to look at your grandparents' photos of their 1967 Ford in the driveway, and you can see that the neighbourhood you live in will eventually have a different feel. But, we all want to live in a neighbourhood that will change for the better, right? This was the question posed to over 20 Dandenong Ranges' residents at the Public Forum on Development in the Dandenong Ranges, which was held on 4 June at the Selby Community House. Tecoma Village Action Group President Barbara Williams presented the evening mak-

Calvin pays homage to the Paperman By Garry Howe An artistic gesture to a “true gentleman” and life mentor earned Gembrook artist Calvin Osborne a prize on debut at this year’s Art Show Pakenham. Fellow Gembrook artist was pleased to win the top prize at the show. Mr Osborne’s ink drawing Paperman, of former Star News Group director and managing director Ian Thomas, was judged the best exhibit by an artist depicting the Cardinia Shire. “I wanted to pay respect to one of my mentors in life,” Calvin said. “Ian gave me my first job, which led to my whole career. “He is one of the hardest workers I have

come across - doing every job - and is a true gentleman and a great bloke.” Mr Osborne, who now works for Yarra Trams, has dabbled in various art mediums his whole life as a hobby but had never entered an art show before. The centenary edition of the Mail News Group’s sister paper, the Pakenham Gazette, in 2017 inspired him to produce the winning piece. He used an old front page produced with that paper and various stories within it touching on the contribution of Ian, his wife Dorothy and their son Paul, the current managing director of Star News Group and the Mail, as a backdrop. “Essentially it’s ink on paper, which is ap-

propriate, and I wanted to keep it black and white and make it a bit scribbly and messy,” Calvin said. The judges loved it, remarking that it had “a strong graphic line of a newspaper background, iconic of black and white use… with strong reference to local and earlier times”. Ms Jarvis only weeks ago was a contender in the famed Archibald Prize for a portrait of rapper Motley. The piece that won her the Gold Medal as best in show at Pakenham depicted a participant in a lion dance in Springvale, inspired by her passion to capture a visual history of the region.

Dawn survey keeps tabs on our lyrebirds By Derek Schlennstedt Fairy tales don’t come much happier than the story of the lyrebirds of Sherbrooke Forest one of the most rousing successes in recent conservation history. That success is attributed to the Sherbrooke Lyrebird Survey Group who has been monitoring their numbers for the past 60 years. Long-time Sherbrooke Lyrebird Survey Group member and convenor Alex Maisey explained that the survey dates offer residents a chance to explore Sherbrooke Forest and see lyrebirds in their natural environment. “We try to meet at 6am and get everyone out to site by 7am,” he said. “You get to listen to the bird’s first call. They sleep up in the tops of the mountain ash and each male in their territory sings their first song and that’s what we are listening to. “Each lyrebird has its own whistle song, it’s mailcommunity.com.au

a really loud lyrebird specific call and that’s the one you hear first, but then it’s interspersed with the mimicry - whip birds and rosellas. “It is quite intrepid, you’re out there at 6am and it's dark - in the tall mountain ash forest - and you don’t know what you’ll see, hear or find.” Volunteers are allocated to teams and, armed with compasses, watches, pens and paper, each team ventures by torchlight into the darkness to await the first calls of their quarry. The survey has shown great success and over the past 20 years the population has more than doubled. Together with Parks Victoria and local wildlife groups, the Sherbrooke Lyrebird Survey Group has brought the bird back from the brink. Recently assistance has come from the Wettenhall Environment Trust, which donated 20 cameras to the group.

Mr Maisey said these cameras would help to monitor the nest success of breeding lyrebirds and understand the threats they faced. Most notably the cameras will also help to keep tabs on the introduced samba deer, which now pose the greatest threat to the birds. “We’re interested to know from the group’s point of view what’s causing failures in nests and which predators are causing nest failure,” he said. “Are these feral or native predators and we’ve never been able to record that information very accurately but this gives us an opportunity to monitor a huge number of nests.” The surveys are held on 22 June, 6 July and 20 July at Grants Picnic Ground Shelter, meeting at 6am sharp. Following the survey breakfast is provided and anyone interested can email Mr Maisey at alexmaisey@hotmail.com.

Cash is coming after promises Some state election campaign promises from Monbulk MP James Merlino are coming to fruition in this year's budget. Monbulk Primary School will receive $7.1 million in the 2019-'20 budget for a new library, Grade 5 and 6 building and two competition-grade outdoor netball courts, which the Monbulk Football Netball Club will use after school hours. Upwey High School will receive $2.7 million to transform tired facilities, adding to the $24 million the State Government has already provided for upgrades. The budget will deliver $935,000 towards planning and early work ahead of upgrades at Monbulk College, the first step in delivering the final major stage of the school's masterplan. This will include new home economics and STEM and trades buildings. The Mail reported last week that Yarra Ranges Special Developmental School would receive $3.45 million for new, architecturallydesigned learning spaces. Mr Merlino also highlighted a $10.2 million investment for a construction centre at Box Hill Institute's Lilydale campus. The budget included $81.6 million for a 120-bed aged care facility at Wantirna Health, and $4.6 million to start planning the next stage of the Angliss Hospital expansion at Upper Ferntree Gully. The project to upgrade Pinks Reserve in Kilsyth received $10.5 million and up to 450 car parking spaces will be delivered at Mooroolbark Station, with works incorporated into the Manchester Road Level Crossing Removal. Lastly, $1 million will help to recreate the Australian Garden exhibit at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden. This was the first and only Australian garden exhibit to win the Best in Show Gold Medal at the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show, in 2013.

Diabetes trial call Yarra Ranges residents with type two diabetes could take part in a new treatment trial. Eastern Health and Monash University are testing a newly-approved treatment for type two diabetics as a preventative measure for cardiovascular disease. Researchers are seeking participants for the clinical trial for Liraglutide. The trial will evaluate the new anti-diabetic medication's affects in potentially reducing cardiovascular disease in type two diabetic patients. "Patients with type two diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease," principal investigator Associate Professor Anthony Dear said. "The overall objective is to reduce cardiovascular disease, in the form of heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease." The trial came about following animal and clinical studies suggesting the new medication might prevent cardiovascular disease. "We have a great opportunity for people with type two diabetes to help us identify if this treatment can protect against the development of cardiovascular disease, by participating in the clinical trial," Mr Dear said. People aged 35 to 80 years old with type two diabetes who do not take insulin, aspirin or any other blood thinning medications and do not have a history of heart attack, stroke or peripheral vascular disease are encouraged to apply. The study will last six months and include eight visits to the university clinic in Box Hill. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.

CFA reform under fire By Casey Neill The contentious Fire Services Reform bill passed its first hurdle "at record pace". Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) said the proposed legislation avoided scrutiny when it passed the Legislative Assembly (Lower House) on 6 June. The State Government put forward the legislation on Wednesday 29 May, and it will now head to the Legislative Council (Upper House). It will shake up Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) boundaries for the first time since the 1950s to reflect population growth, and will introduce provide presumptive rights to cancer compensation for career and volunteer firefighters.

VFBV CEO Adam Barnett said CFA volunteers were particularly angry with repeated misrepresentations and falsehoods that CFA was not providing world-class service to urban communities. "No credible evidence has been provided to back those claims - and worse, the proposed changes add no additional capacity to the system," he said. "Changing logos on trucks, uniforms and payslips does not modernise or improve community safety. "The proposed Bill actually takes us backwards pre-CFA - reverting to a model similar to what existed at the time of the disastrous 1938'39 Black Friday fires. "Back then there was The Bush Fire Brigades

and the Country Fire Brigades operating across regional and rural Victoria as two distinct fire services, together with the Forests Commission. "These two services operated with inconsistent equipment, different operational doctrine, different chains of command and inconsistent equipment; and that cost lives." Mr Barnett said the CFA was established to fix the problem of multiple services competing across the same geographic areas. He said the bill would create a patchwork of boundaries where two fire services would cohabitate, with different training, equipment, operational doctrine, command structures and accountabilities. Eildon MP Cindy McLeish, speaking in the

Digging in in for National Tree Day By Derek Schlennstedt Monbulk Primary School is gearing up to be the first school in the Dandenong Ranges area to achieve a five-star environmental status certified by Sustainability Victoria. To reach that fifth star the school is participating for their first time in the annual National Tree Day Program on 26 July, and helping the school to get there is National Tree Day Ambassador and local tree guru, (OAM) Wes Fleming, owner of Fleming's Nurseries and alumni student of the school. Mr Fleming is working with the school to build a vegetation plan that, if approved, will take the four star school to five. Mr Fleming said the schools environmental values strongly aligned with Fleming's own values and passion for ensuring Australia is a treed and green urban environment. "We need trees and plants in our life," he said. "Research has shown consistently that people that are unwell recover faster when they have visual or actual access to parks and gardens, we are less violent as a society when surrounded by plants, we feel better and our mental wellness improves with plants." "Exposing young people to the importance of horticulture and the environment at Primary level reinforces the value of plants that these children will carry for life." If the school reaches five stars it will be one of 31 other primary schools around Victoria that have the five-star sustainable school status. Monbulk Primary School Principal, Estelle Alder told the Mail that the Schools National Tree Day is not just about planting trees but is also an education process for children, who learn the importance of vegetation and canopy cover in Australia. "Our school has a wonderful connection to the community, and we are delighted to use this opportunity to further develop our student's understanding of sustainability and our environment, whilst partnering with our community," she said. "This is a great opportunity for hands on

Renae Lansdell, Sustainability Coordinator for Monbulk Primary School said Monbulk Primary students conducted a Biodiversity audit at the school earlier this year, and found that the school grounds were in need of far more

native plants, trees and shrubs. "Being a part of National Tree Day will not only get all the students in our school involved in making Monbulk a more beautiful place, they will also be helping the school to reach its goal of five stars for sustainability."

Planting some gems at Emerald Quarry Tucked away on the hill, near the corner of Emerald-Monbulk Road and Kallista-Emerald Road, is an old quarry site and a haven for the endemic Emerald star bush. Johns Hill Landcare worked with Cardinia Shire Council and the neighbouring community during National Volunteer Week to revegetate the historic Bob James Emerald Quarry Reserve. About 30 volunteers went to the 6.4 hectare bushland reserve on Sunday 19 May to take part in the community tree planting session and enjoyed an afternoon tea. They planted 550 indigenous plants into about 2600 cubic metres of soil at the base of the old quarry. The council manages the reserve, which is home to one of the largest populations of the Emerald star bush, which is threatened with extinction. The species is found only in the region from Selby to Emerald and Monbulk. A National Tree Day event will be held at Pepisland in Emerald on Sunday 28 July from 10am to 1pm.

Victorian Parliament, labelled the government's attempt to pass the bill in the Lower House within three days as a disgrace. "Not only does it show a lack of respect for the process and the parliamentary system but it also shows a lack of respect for those that are impacted by this bill," she said. CFA acting CEO/CO Gavin Freeman said the reforms were a great opportunity to improve fire services to the whole community. The new model will not come into effect until mid-2020, which will mean no change for the 2019-'20 fire season. An implementation monitor will oversee the reforms and Fire Rescue Victoria and the CFA operations for 10 years.

La Trobe MP and new federal assistant minister Jason Wood is not exactly flavor-of-themonth in African community circles. But he has earned the loyal support of Berwick refugee and masters student Jafri Katagara, who arrived in Australia after his mother and father died in Uganda. To many it would be an unlikely friendship between Mr Katagara and the newly-appointed assistant customs, multicultural affairs and community safety minister. For Mr Katagara, their bond has been lifechanging. “We don’t agree with everything. We’ve had a few arguments but he’s not racist the way people think," he says. “He’s helped me more than any other person in this country." He says he does argue with his “mentor” about the tone of his campaign against “African youth gangs”. Mr Wood’s Facebook posts and recent interviews have raised the ire and distrust of African communities, along with his call to deport “foreign-born thugs”. “I tell Jason that crime is committed by all groups of people,” Mr Katagara says. “I was against using the term ‘African gang’. I told him to use ‘youth gang’ or ‘youth crime’. “I told him it affects the entire African community.” Mr Katagara argues to Mr Wood that most young migrants and young Africans are “lawabiding in this country”. “There is only a tiny, tiny group of young boys not doing the right thing," he says. “(Mr Wood) was a former police officer, he is tough on crime and he calls a spade a spade. “He believes if he doesn’t call the problem the way it is, how is it going to be resolved? “I told him it’s very good you’re fighting crime but for me, don’t racialise crime.“ Mr Katagara was an unemployed anti-racism campaigner when he first arrived at Mr Wood’s office to explain “what was happening in African communities”. He’d told of how he spent 500 hours in English language classes, volunteered at South East Links in Springvale, applied fruitlessly for hundreds of jobs, and he’d been kicked out of Monash University because he could no longer afford to pay course fees. To his eternal gratitude, Mr Wood stepped in, giving him work at his office to better understand unemployment issues. The MP fought for Mr Katagara to be re-enrolled at university. He says Mr Wood personally rang employers to help “young Africans” get a job. He invited Mr Wood to his graduation ceremony, after completing his business degree. He is now studying a Masters of Social Work. “Many Africans don’t find people to mentor them. They end up getting lost and heading in a wrong direction," he said. “I wish all Africans could get a mentor like Jason Wood. “Because of the way I know him, I think he’ll be a great minister especially for the multicultural community.” Tuesday, 11 June, 2019

The sweet sounds of ukuleles descended on Emerald for this year’s Hills Ukulele Festival. The event ran at Emerald Primary School on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May and featured a diverse range of world-class ukulele performers, ukulele groups and workshops. Festival organiser and the school’s music teacher, Dan MacEoin, said all Saturday workshop participants were welcomed to the main stage during the gala concert on Sunday. “How many music festivals have that level of inclusivity?” he said. Photographer Greg Carrick was on-hand to capture some of the fun for the Mail. Visit mailcommunity.com.au for more.

SUNSET RIDGE POISED in arguably the finest position in the Ridge Road precinct of Kallista, the agent says, and located at the end of a stone-framed entrance and flat meandering driveway, this grand estate offers the ultimate lifestyle. More than four acres of hills and flat, park-like Australian native and European plantings, a full-sized tennis court and paddock for animals are just a sample of the inclusions this private property offers. Quality and attention to detail exudes from the moment buyers enter this residence, the agent says. It includes about 40 squares of living incorporating five bedrooms - or four and a study, four living zones, and two bathrooms, with verandahs framing front entrances and a full length decking area to take in the views over the orchard to Cardinia and beyond. A turret filters light via a central atrium into the foyer and to the expansive lounge, freshly painted in neutral tones with soaring timber ceilings, spacious and ideal for entertaining, the agent says, with an open fire and adjoining dining placed to appreciate the views. The master wing incorporates a shared ensuite and walk-in robe with an additional storage room off the hall. Spotted gum flooring has been renewed and flows through the living and meals, connecting to the third and fourth bedroom wing and expansive great room with vaulted ceilings, separate entry and cellar/storage room. The kitchen is the central hub of the home, classic in timber cabinetry yet

functional to cook the produce from the array of fruit trees including figs, native finger lime, mandarins, avocado, apricot, peach and plum - with the property's own bees to assist in pollinating. The vegie garden ensures almost yearround enjoyment while the resident goats occupy the paddock. A dog run and cat enclosure for the animals are just another addition for the pets. The agent says this is an amazing,

manageable lifestyle property. Externally, the functionality continues with a double garage and ample parking. Quality absolutely radiates from this residence, the agent says, and the location is sublime, with a friendly neighbourhood and easy access to all the great places in the Yarra Valley or to commute to the city of Melbourne, either by car or by train. The country feel of this hills property is often sought, rarely found, the agent says. â&#x2014;?

There is change in the air By Nick Creely AFL Outer East is set to shun the traditional relegation process in 2020, with region head office confirming it is going to make a raft of changes as it searches to fast track the structure for its Outer East football and netball competition moving forward. It is understood that clubs will be provided the opportunity to apply to move down a division in 2020, even if they do not finish last in 2019. Premiership teams and teams placing last will follow the relegation promotion system, however it means that next year, Outer East - rather than implementing the traditional one up, one down model - will see plenty of movement occurring between divisions, a process region general manager Aaron Bailey explained will require a "whole club consideration". "As we get any indications of clubs looking to move down, which we will do in Premier and Division 1, we will seek indications from clubs who wish to move into higher divisions. This may see increased movement in 2019 than we traditionally see," he said. "We will continue to look at our competition structure, however at this stage nine, nine and eight is preferable for 2020. "Being a new structure - and the Division 1 and 2 being really good competitions - the Premier Division at the moment is not as competitive as we'd like, and this will allow clubs to have some control of their own destiny, and able to identify where the best fit is to build a long and sustainable program at their club. "This allows clubs to speak to their players, coaches, sponsors and members and set clear direction for next year and beyond. Movement up from divisions below will be confirmed once we have a clear indication of club prefer-

ences in the division above. "Clubs who are at the bottom end of divisions, but believe that division is best fit for them, now can put the steps into place to be successful in that division and start building for the next three to five years." Bailey added that there has already been some initial discussion about next year, and its understood that several clubs have already indicated its preferences. "Clubs have spoken to us (already) about their best fit for 2020, so the conversations have certainly started, but the formalities will be a four to six week process, and once we know who wants to go down, we'll be able to outline to all clubs the promotion and relegation model for 2019. "We expect there will be increased movement this year." But as for some north-east clubs competing in Division 2, Bailey said that for the long-term future in the region, there is still some work to do to find the best solution. "We are working with AFL Goldfields and AFL Goulburn Murray to find the best structure for football in that region, which will be finalised over the next six months. We will work with those clubs to identify the best structure for football in the Murrindindi Region," he said. "There is work being done in regard to whether there can be a standalone league, and that'll be out of that region, and if not, what will be the best long term fit for each club. "We want these clubs to be sustainable, have increased opportunities to play finals, and compete every year - we need to look at how to do that, so we'll work with all those clubs individually. "This is a consultative approach with them, they'll be part of the process - our preference

is to create a standalone league where they can compete across the central Goulburn, northeast region. "What we want to do, is make sure they are sustainable, that they have pathways, and they have the opportunity to have success, and playing finals. "We're hoping to have an answer on that by the end of the year." Bailey said that AFL Outer East expects to deliver all aspects of the 'Future Direction of football and netball' document by 2021, with the current priority to provide three senior divisions, where clubs find their level in senior football, netball and under-18 football. But being meticulous, and ensuring they don't do damage to any club by placing them in a division they can't be successful in, is vitally important moving forward. "Our key is to get the structure right, and to get all the clubs in the right divisions - if we go one up, one down, we don't want a club languishing at the bottom where they're not suited. That could do long-term damage," he said. "We're seeking feedback on clubs on their current position and what level will provide each club the best chance of building strong, vibrant football netball structures. "But for us, our future direction is set, we are where want to be as a competition, a divisional model in Casey, Yarra Ranges and Cardinia. That allows growth and entry points for new clubs and sustainability within the existing clubs. "We need to be flexible, listen to clubs and move clubs around more than what we would normally do to find the model that works. "Once clubs tell us where they want to be, we will start to move towards that and its on clubs to build and grow within that." Another major change set to come in as of

Pressure comes to the fore

National BMX champs

By Nick Creely Pressure, pressure, pressure, and more pressure. That's what faced both Monbulk and Doveton during a gruelling, relentless game of football in AFL Outer East Division 1 on Saturday. The undefeated Hawks rode the wave of mounting opposition momentum and some wayward kicking at goal to keep its undefeated start to the season alive, 7.16 (58) to 7.8 (50). In a game filled with those little moments - whether being a crucial shepherd, crunching tackle or lunging spoil out of danger - the Hawks, in the end, had the answers, but it was an almighty scare from a Doves unit filled with plenty of pluck. The Doves managed to get off to the perfect start away from home, and with the ground baked in sunshine, forward James Gascard slotted the opening major with an arrowstraight shot at goal. But the home side picked up the pieces quickly and began to assert control in every area of the game, except its ability to convert on the scoreboard. Peppering the goals, and using the ball superbly going forward, the Hawks' forward could only muster up six straight behinds, before the Doves once again found the goals in a major well and truly against the tide. After seven behinds, the Hawks finally converted one of their many chances in front of goal to cut the margin to just 13 points at quarter time. The physicality of the contest truly came to the fore in the second term with disposals and free space almost impossible to find, but the Hawks were coming hard and starting to utilise its class around the footy to find targets moving forward. But holding firm - through the likes of Lachie Batten, who was playing a blinder - the Doves managed to hold the home side somewhat, and despite only registering one behind for the term, went in with scores level and plenty to play for. As the game wore on, the Hawks slowly got 22 MAIL

next year is in the under-18 football model, with the potential for senior sides to not be competing in the same division as their pathway sides. "We are currently seeking feedback for clubs on their preferred model with underage football moving forward," Bailey said. "Creating competitive underage competitions is a high priority for us. The model used by the EFL and Geelong, where teams are graded, is one we are keen to implement. "The structure for the under-18s will hopefully come out by the end of June this year for 2020, and that may see some changes to the traditional under 18 model of the past. "Under age football and netball continue to be key areas in our restructure." As for new clubs set to enter AFL Outer East in the future, Bailey said that ensuring the region gets its structure right was the priority for the time being. But he also indicated that Berwick Springs was tracking along well, and is not too far away from being a senior club. "Berwick Springs have done a really good job in developing under 18's and netball, and by 2021 they will be a senior club. We are hopeful that as early as 2020 they will enter a side(s) at senior level," he said. "But we're keen to work with new clubs, and Berwick Springs is a very good start. It is crucial we develop more clubs in the Casey Cardinia region and we will continue to have conversations with clubs, particularly in the South East Juniors around becoming senior clubs. As our competition structure finalises over the next two years, opportunities for existing clubs to join the Outer East competition may emerge. "In the short term, our focus is on getting the structure right. We are confident that as that happens, more opportunities for clubs will develop."

OFC A-grade effort Olinda Ferny Creek travelled to Edwin Flack Reserve to take on Berwick in Premier Division Netball on Saturday 8 June. With the 17 and under team having a bye, D-grade was the opening game. Berwick was top of the table with Olinda Ferny Creek sitting in fifth position. Berwick was far too strong, winning every quarter to run out a 28-goal winner (46 to 18) and prove why it's the team to beat. Adriana Hawkins, Mary Taylor and Keely Butler battled hard for the Swannies. C-grade was a fascinating contest between two evenly matched sides. The contest was close all game, with Olinda Ferny Creek leading by two goals at quarter time and maintaining that lead at half time. The lead stretched out to six goals at three quarter time but Berwick had a late rally in the last quarter, drawing within one goal. The Swannies held on to run out two-goal victors, 32 to 30. Maddy Smith and Kate Mikulandra both played well in defence, with Ella Grigg fighting hard in the mid-court. Olinda Ferny Creek's B-grade retained top spot on the ladder with an eight-goal victory over the Wickers, 48 to 40. The girls were consistent throughout the game winning every quarter against a tenacious opponent. The girls remain undefeated this season. Jane Batey, Ash Cartlidge and Rhi Pendleton were among the best players for Olinda Ferny Creek. A-grade saw the top-placed Olinda Ferny Creek take on a Berwick side desperate to keep in touch with the top five. Berwick really took it up to the Bloods in the first half and the game was in the balance at half time. The second half was all Olinda Ferny Creek
