A delegation of international parliamentarians joined Casey MP Tony Smith on a tour of Birmingham Primary School on 22 November. It came after the school won this year's Dr Lawrie Shears Excellence in Global Teaching and Learning Award at the Victorian Education Excellence Awards. Parliamentarians from Brunei, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Cambodia took part in the annual delegation which visited Melbourne, the electorate of Casey and Canberra. Birmingham Primary School principal Trish Enzinger said it was great to be selected to represent government schools. "We were able to showcase our global studies program, our student exchange program and our CIS membership," she said. "The kids loved it and acquitted themselves really well. "I'm very proud to be the only school in Australia that they're visiting. It's a real honour, we took it really seriously and we're very proud of what we do." Parliamentary exchanges with the ten Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries are a tradition for the Australian Parliament's international program. As part of the visit to Birmingham, students hosted a tour of the school and presented visitors with an Australian flag and a school magazine. Mr Smith said the delegation experienced a unique perspective of Australian life through it's visit to the electorate of Casey. "It's been a pleasure to host them here in our local community where they can see our part of the world and have the opportunity to meet with local school leaders, the Mayor and Council staff, and some business and community leaders," he said. "Birmingham Primary School has a strong international focus so they were able to see part of the global studies class but also see first-hand a vibrant primary school in a wonderful Australian Environment with parkland and bushland. It's very different from innercity schools." After winning the Education Excellence Award, Birmingham Primary School will also receive a $25,000 grant which it plans to put towards professional learning.

The world, by marathon By Derek Schlennstedt Over the past seven years, Louise Edwards from Upper Ferntree Gully has competed in over 15 marathons from all around the world. The Ferny Creek Cub scouts leader has covered thousands of kilometres in organised events across six continents, overcoming the extreme heat of the outback and bitter cold of the Himalayas. On 13 December, Louise will compete in her most challenging marathon to date - the Antarctica ice marathon. Once completed she will join a select group of women who have completed 7 Marathons on 7 Continents. While a marathon can be taxing enough, there are extra challenges to doing one in a place like Antarctica, the least of which is the need for very specific clothing. "In extreme cold its extremely important to regulate body temperature," she said. "You don't want to overheat, but you don't want to get to cold and if you start to sweat too much it will freeze and you can get into a lot of trouble then." "You have to wear a thermal layer, a middle layer and an outer shell, so you can take a layer off or put one on depending on the temperature." "If it's windy you get wind chill and in terms of your hands you have to take three pairs of gloves - a thermal inner glove, a mid-layer glove and then an outer mitten and same with your feet." Speaking to the Mail, Ms Edwards said a desire to travel the world and run marathons lured her into the world of marathon running. "It's been a love of travel and then being able to combine that with the running and the marathons." "Marathons are a little bit different but it's just been that combination really, and then the

added incentive of coupling up with the charity that I'm supporting." That charity raises money for a medical centre in Nepal. In 2012 Louise and her friend Cathy competed in the world's highest race the Everest Marathon - running and raising funds for Sanjiwani Public Health Mission, a community based medical clinic in the village of Ghandruk, Nepal. Villagers in Nepal face everyday challenges brought upon by the remoteness and harshness of their environment. Sanjiwani Clinic provides medical treatment for a community who would otherwise be forced to travel long distances to obtain health and medical services. Louise talks about villagers in Nepal facing everyday challenges due to the remoteness and harshness of their Nepalese environment. "Sanjiwani Clinic provides medical and dental treatment for the community who would otherwise be forced to travel long distances, often days, to obtain basic health and medical services." "Funds raised and donations keep the clinic operating. We employ local trained medical staff who provide a much needed health service, operate the only laboratory service in the district and run a number of health education programs to improve community health," she said. To donate visit https://www.givenow.com. au/sanjiwaniicemarathon Ms Edwards will compete in the Antarctic Ice Marathon on 13 December and while there will be no cheering crowds or penguins (it's too far south) to support her, she will have the love and support from the 6000 strong community in Nepal and hopefully the scouting community in Ferny Creek.

On 13 December, Louise will compete in her most challenging marathon to date - the Antarctica Ice marathon.

Students and staff with the finished mural. 201197

The art of culture By Romy Stephens A cultural group at Yarra Hills Secondary College's Mount Evelyn campus have recently finished a 10-month Indigenous mural project. Students involved presented their completed artwork at a school assembly on 28 November. Year 9 student Nathan Murray said the project was a big team effort between teachers and students. "We began the planning of the mural in term one this year," he said.

"We brainstormed ideas, sketched and drew up our ideas, prepped the board and sketched our designs onto the board, and then we began tiling." The mural aimed to express the cultural significance of Bunjil the Eagle and the Rainbow Serpent. It also featured a meeting place, kangaroo tracks a boomerang and each of the students' hands. The school's creative art therapist, Kirsten Sampson, said the project has helped provide recognition of the Indigenous community

at the school. She said it also helped bring students together. "It's been lovely because I think they've got to know each other. They're all different year levels so that's been great," she said. "They've got something they're very proud of and it looks fantastic. "It's been their work and all their ideas." Yarra Hills Secondary College's Mooroolbark campus also has a group of Burmese students working on a similar mural to present to the college.

Grade six Macclesfield student Clara Woods has presented a moving exhibition at her school highlighting the problem of inequality in Australia and the world. Her grade has been working on the theme "Sharing the planet" - an inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution. Speaking to the Mail Clara began a website that discusses the topic and said she was prompted to tackle the issue after her friend began identifying as trans and she recognised the adversity her friend faced following the decision . "I do have one friend their, who is Trans, and she's had a hard time from people around her and I'm not sure, but it did change my mind to whether I wanted to approach this topic." "I think we should all be equal no matter where we come from, what gender we are and who we are." "We need to change lives stand up and spread our voices, and let people know how we feel."

A swim-pressive summer By Derek Schlennstedt Olinda Community Pool officially opened for the 2019-20 Summer Season on 30 November, unveiling their new Toddler Pool and splash zone. The pool has been under construction since early this year after Member for Monbulk James Merlino announced in October 2018 that the Olinda Community Pool Association would receive $174,050 as part of the Pick My Project initiative. That funding has gone toward upgrade the toddler pool, buying the shade sails, and building a splash zone for water play, including jets and fountains. Olinda Community Pool Former President, James Edge said the pool is virtually unrecognisable, and prior to the construction the toddler pool had remained unchanged for decades. "We have really upgraded the area surrounding the existing toddler pool to include really fun features aimed at our youngest visi-

tors and their families," Mr Edge said. "There's now water spray features, some interactive tactile based play areas, plus a new and improve shade sail, and seating area for parents and and the biggest feature is a new iconic water slide." "What's been built is this big wooden structure - not unlike a tepee - and the kids can climb up inside it and then come out the other side in a water slide ... It's really amazing, and really going to change the whole vibe of the place." Mr Edge paid particular tribute to Director of RB Landscapes and local resident Richard Bellemo, who designed the area, as well as current Olinda Community Pool President Duncan Brown. "There's a lot of thanks that need to be given to the project's biggest contributor Duncan brown who is the president of the Olinda Community Pool association and of course Richard who designed it. " "We had huge support from all the contrac-

"It truly has been a community effort in terms of all the organisations and individuals who combined to ensure that the pool would

be ready by December 1, and it's turned out to be a fantastic success." The pool is currently offering early bird family passes which are only in the first two weeks of the season.

The forecast is clear - warm, dry season is on its way pole," he said. "This really refers to having cooler than normal waters off Indonesia and that tends to reduce the amount of moisture coming into the atmosphere. "It also tends to park big high-pressure systems over Victoria and reduce the fronts that come through and reduce the cloudiness over the summer period. "The other big influence we're looking at is a negative southern annular mode or SAM. "That tends to push weather systems a bit further north during the summer well at least until December or rather through until January." Dr Watkins said the outlook was an im-

portant reminder for communities to be alert to the potential severe weather risks over the coming months. "We've already seen significant bushfire activity during spring, and the outlook for drier and warmer than average conditions will maintain that heightened risk over the coming months. "This outlook also means the risk of heatwaves is increased, so it's important the community stays up to date with the latest information and advice from authorities For more information on Australia's severe weather risks, visit bom.gov.au/knowyourweather.

Similar to the rest of Victoria, the Yarra Ranges can expect a warm, dry summer ahead according to the latest Bureau of Meteorology outlook. The summer outlook, released on 28 November, shows there's a high chance Victoria will experience warmer than normal daytime temperatures and lower than normal rainfall over the next three months. The outlook for the Yarra Ranges is similar to the rest of the state. The region faces an unlikely, 30 to 35 per cent chance of exceeding the median rainfall

between December and February, which is 186mm at Yarra Glen. When it comes to the maximum - or daytime - temperatures, there is a likely, 75 to 80 per cent chance of exceeding the median of 25.8 degrees. However, there could be some relief for residents during nighttime, with a 50 to 60 per cent chance of exceeding median minimum temperatures. Bureau manager of long-range forecasting Dr Andrew Watkins said the warmer, drier summer across the state is influenced by two main factors. "The first is a positive Indian Ocean Di-

DIY to the rescue By Michael Doran For some time, Parks Victoria have said the Badger Weir Picnic Ground is scheduled to reopen to the public in March and the dedicated members of the Badger Creek Community Planning Group (BCCPG) are taking matters into their own hands to try to make that happen. A group of 20 are spending Saturday 23 March putting the finishing touches to the Picnic Ground area in readiness to reopen and Doris Pozzi from the BCCPG said that they are responding to a request from Parks Victoria to lend a hand. "They asked us to organise a group of 20 to help with the last stages of getting the park ready," she said. "Parks Victoria (PV) have done all of the big infrastructure work and we are mulching the garden beds, doing some pruning and cleaning up because that is not part of their budget allocation." "We formed a relationship with PV and when their local person came out and talked to our group we found out why it was taking longer than we thought it would. One of the reasons was because they wanted to get more money to make some improvements that were not part of the repair work funding." Doris said the community is incredibly enthusiastic to get this done and when the group posted that the park was opening in early 2019 their facebook page had 2000 likes, shares and comments, a clear indicator of the affection the community has for the park. "There is something a bit special about this park and its closure has been a huge issue for a lot of people, many have been quite upset about it," she said. "I think it made it hard for local people to have a place to take their kids and go for picnics and evening walks as this place is visited constantly in the summer. "For everybody, the degree of contact with the park very high and it's not like a day trip to the botanical gardens. It's almost like an extension of their backyard and for most that's how they see it, they expect to come here whenever they want to." According to Doris, the closure would have been smoother if Parks Victoria had under-

Doris Pozzi on the left with Lucy, Ros, Kevin, Marion and Arthur at Badger Weir Park. 191673 stood the depth of feeling locals have for the park. "Really, all they needed to do was just com-

municate with us a bit more and I think if they had it would not have been as upsetting to the community as it has been."

On Wednesday 20 March Parks Victoria said in a statement "that it is not in a position to comment at this time."

The Dandenong Ranges has been selected as the first battleground in a CSIRO-led fight to save rainforests across Australia from a devastating weed known as Wandering Trad. Local community groups have been battling this invasion for many years and it was an excited group that gathered in Emerald on Friday 23 March to hear the good news. The CSIRO has been involved in research on Wandering Trad biocontrol since 2014 and field biologist Dr Ben Gooden is coordinating the rollout of the biocontrol program across Australia. He said that highly targeted and tested biocontrol agents are a more environmentally sustainable option than other available tools. "Currently, the only tools available to the community and local councils against the weed are hand-pulling and chemical herbicides, which only bring short-term control and have the unintended consequence of killing native plants and disrupting complex rainforest ecosystems." Speaking at the announcement, Member for La Trobe, Jason Wood, said that without the work of the community groups getting to this point would not have been possible. "It's great to come along and be involved in the announcement considering how many years it has taken us to get here," he said. "For me this is one of those days I didn't think would ever come." "Over the last five or six years I have pushed the federal government to put in over $6m supporting environment groups for weed control in the area and that's made a huge difference, but it needs science to come in and support that." "The scientists at the CSIRO are so passionate and their tenacity is amazing," he said. "Their attitude is that if you give us the funding we will dedicate our heart and souls to find the solution." Bill Incoll is a committee member of the Community Weed Alliance of the Dandenongs and said he had been looking forward to this day for years.

Before the Fire Danger Period commences residents conducting burn-offs on private property still need to check weather conditions, monitor the wind, follow local Council laws and register burn-offs. To register a burn-off call 1800 668 511 or email burnoffs@esta.vic.gov.au. For more information about the Fire Danger Period visit cfa.vic.gov.au.

ing agencies are "into firefighting mode now." "We're not quite into summer yet but already the conditions have shown that there are fires around," he said. "We've had quite a strong supporting role in NSW from all the agencies in Victoria for the last few weeks. "Then just last week we had a band of lightning across the state which started a number of fires in the north and the east of the state." The CFA has not officially declared the Fire

Yarra Ranges residents have just over two weeks left to prepare properties before the Fire Danger Period comes into effect at 1am on 16 December. From this date, residents cannot light a fire in the open air without a permit from the CFA or compliance with certain requirements. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Richard Higgins, encouraged residents to continue clearing their properties. "The Fire Danger Period officially marks the start of the fire season in Yarra Ranges, but we know from recent events that the risk of fire doesn't wait," he said. "Fallen tree debris, grass, twigs and excess vegetation can dry out and become very flammable in the event of a bush or grass fire, so it's important to clear up what you can before the fire season begins properly. "Check the Council website for details about burning off in your area before the Fire Danger Period and remember that burning off isn't the only way you can prepare; use a fortnightly green waste bin or take excess green waste to the tip." Despite the Fire Danger Period commencing in a couple of weeks, the eastern suburbs have already experienced severe fire conditions over the past month. On 21 November a Watch and Act notice was issued for a bushfire on Rankins Road, Monbulk with two aircraft called in to battle the blaze. Forest Fire Management Victoria's regional manager, Dan White, said the state's firefight-

Cockatoo Ready2Go held a community BBQ last month that addressed the risk of bushfire and how we can all assist vulnerable residents. The free barbecue acted as an informative learning experience that examined the Ready2Go group and how they support people that need assistance prior to an extreme event such as fire and flood and storm. With the high fire danger season fast approaching, the event was a timely opportunity to talk about prevention and safety pertaining to heat health, which can be particular dangerous for vulnerable people in the community. Attendees included participants and volunteers of the program and local members of the community from the Gembrook and Cockatoo CFA stations and other local Community groups. The Ready2Go program is an important process that assists vulnerable residents to build friendships and become more connected to their community and other support services, while ensuring they are safe during high risk conditions. Ready2Go enhances the village atmosphere by providing a valuable opportunity for communities to assist their vulnerable residents to build connections and relationships, with the potential to access support services, so that they can move to safer places prior to predicted weather events that pose risks to them. If you are looking for more information on Ready2Go, contact 0407 824 323.

The Natural Healing Centre uses a system called NAET, which offers relief to those suffering chronic sinus, streaming nose and eyes, headaches, gut issues and more. The NAET system uses traditional Chinese medicine principles of acupressure points while holding the substance of intolerance. The small intestine is where the body absorbs goodness such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids (protein foods), antioxidants and essential oils (such as plant oils and fish oils) from everyday food. Therefore, keeping the small intestine in good health is essential for the bodies overall health and wellbeing. A large range of treatment options are available at the Natural Healing Centre such as homeopathic medicines, herbal supplements, practitioner only vitamins and minerals, lymphatic drainage, spinal manipulation, bowen therapy, remedial massage, acupressure and cranio-sacral therapy.

PRIME DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY PROPERTY development never looked more promising than it does in this prime position. Supremely located near Ferntree Plaza, Upper Ferntree Gully Train Station, and the Angliss Hospital, this is an ideal investment presenting plenty of potential. With Commercial 1 zoning, this large corner block with two street frontages is now ready for renovation or multi-level redevelopment (Subject To Council Approval) to capitalise on this sensational location. Recently home to the Ferntree Gully Paediatric Clinic for many years, this address has enjoyed a long history as a successful business but is now being offered with vacant possession. The original weatherboard with spacious reception is ripe for reimagining, while the large block with ample off street parking is the perfect backdrop for a potential new development. If you are considering residing in the current building further clarification and permission would need to be sought from the local council (ie Subject To Council Approval). With restaurants, shopping, transport, and Dandenong Ranges National Park on your doorstep, this is a smart choice for savvy investors. A quick inspection is recommended. â&#x2014;?

“We would like to encourage anyone in the area who has an interest in photography to come to one of our meetings. Members are happy to share their expertise and knowledge and it’s a great place to meet people with the same interest.” At the presentation director Shane Miller from the Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group congratulated the winners on their outstanding photos. “These calendars are given to all of our shareholders and our customers.

Frozen, yes, but fresh Frozen 2 Starring Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell Rated PG A family-friendly but refreshingly mature fantasy adventure, Frozen 2 is an outstanding sequel to the 2014 original. Summoned by an ethereal voice, Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) and her sister Anna (Kristen Bell) must venture from their kingdom of Arendelle to right an ancient wrong. Frozen 2 has strong forward momentum and efficient structure, with the mysteries of Arendelle's past steadily unfolding as the heroes' journey progresses. The sequel expands the world of the original in clever and heartbreaking ways, and Elsa and Anna's evolving relationship, as their loyalty is tested, adds to the suspense. In a franchise that respects the intellect of its child viewers, Frozen 2 continues the first

film's admirable focus on subversion and mature themes. The sequel powerfully illustrates the difference between antagonist and villain: the forces opposing Elsa and Anna are unpredictable and even mischievous, and motivated by deep grievances from the past, but are never cruel or evil. Where the first film was about independence and the dangers of falling blindly into love, the sequel explores themes of imperialism and working with nature instead of taming or exploiting it. The musical numbers and action sequences are exciting and dynamic, except for Elsa's strangely static centrepiece number, which feels too much like a Eurovision performance. Frozen 2 is the most polished, uplifting and thematically bold of this year's legion of Disney movies - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au

SPORT

‘Super six’ lead Reeves By Richard Millott Six teams are level at the top of Norm Reeves Shield, separated only on percentage, after an action-packed Round 5 in the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association on Saturday. Knoxfield jumped from third on the ladder to top spot after a dominant display with the ball against the undefeated Lysterfield. Set a mammoth 341 last week, the Beavers were in early trouble as Josh Lindner ran rampant against the top order. The young tear-away ended the day with figures of 6/36 from his consecutive 20 overs as the match was ended just prior to tea, Lysterfield dismissed for 92. The Knights gained 0.39 per cent from the result to jump ahead, while the result has seen Lysterfield drop from second to sixth place ahead of the local derby next week against Eildon Park. Belgrave suffered its first blemish of the campaign against reigning premiers, The Basin. Belgrave set 205 last week, which was championed from the Bears' opening pairing as Scott Vozzo (36) and Blake Walter went after the target. Walter was boundary-happy, hitting 12 fours and a six as part of his 74 to take the Bears to 7/207 with 10 overs to spare. The Bears now sit third behind the Pies, having closed the percentage gap. Eildon Park saw off Ferntree Gully Footballers, dismissing the visitors for 201 to win by over 100 runs. The 313 target set by the Panthers last week proved too much despite the efforts of Lachlan Storey (41), Radhik Gooneratne (36) and Nick Bogar (32).

Jarrod Hicks took 5/57 from 21.5 overs, combining well with Zac Clark who snared 3/50. The Panthers have hit form over the past month to sit inside the top four prior to summer. Knox Gardens claimed the points against Upper Ferntree Gully at Kings Park, while Upwey opened its account for the season after defeating Johnson Park.

In Decoite Shield, St Johns Tecoma shored up its spot in second place following a comprehensive win against Olinda. Chasing 321 from last week, the Bloods were soundly defeated as Tafadzwa Kamungozi shone brightest with 42. For the Saints, Aaron Grenda claimed 4/39 from the top of the bowling sheet to help dismiss the visitors for 174. Ferntree Gully remain clear of the pack in

Decoite Shield after a successful chase against Rowville. Set 139 to claim the points, the Blues held wickets in hand while ticking the required runs, with Josh Henry (69) and Daniel Salan (56) notching half-centuries to help bank the points. In other games, Monbulk secured a tough win against Knox Gardens while South Belgrave entered the top four after a successful chase against Mountain Gate.

Sunny weather brings out the best in athletes By Jamie Strudley Yarra Ranges Athletics (YRA) athletes were in full flight in sunny conditions on Saturday.
