House de-funded

By Derek Schlennstedt Cardinia Shire has confirmed that funding has ceased for the Cockatoo Neighbourhood House, which announced its closure on Facebook in October.

The shire annually funds the Cardinia Shire neighbourhood house cluster which consists of eight neighbourhood houses around the municipality.

Though, these neighbourhood houses are bound contractually to meet the requirements of Cardinia Shire’s ‘funding and service agreement’.

The shire contends that Cockatoo Neighbourhood House had failed to meet this agreement.

“Cardinia Shire Council, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Community House Network have been providing support and working with the staff and the committee of management of the Cockatoo Neighbourhood House for over 12 months.”

Unfortunately, the Cockatoo Neighbourhood House has been unable to meet the ongoing requirements of the funding and service agreement, and therefore council was unable to allocate public funds to the committee of management for the 2017-’18 financial year,” general manager of community well-being at Cardinia Shire, Jenny Scicluna said.

Courses will continue to be run for the remainder of 2017 and into early 2018, but it is believed full-time and part-time staff at the neighbourhood house will cease work on 6 December.

“Council will work closely with DHHS and the local community to ensure essential programs can be delivered from the neighbourhood house location for the remainder of 2017 and into early 2018 as required,” Ms Scicluna said.

While there is no official closure date, it is also unclear as to what the neighbourhood house will be used for beyond 2018.

However, Cardinia Shire has said that the neighbourhood house would be ‘revitalised’, and thanked current staff and volunteers for their work.

“Council, DHHS and the Community House Network are committed to revitalising the Cockatoo Neighbourhood House, and will work closely with the local community to re-establish the neighbourhood house programs and activities in Cockatoo,” Ms Scicluna said.

The house has been approached for comment.

Mercy gets $2 million funds boost

The focus might be on metropolitan racing this week, but two Yarra Ranges’ ladies are showing country racing enthusiasts can mix it with the best.

Fashion judge Charlotte Hall, from Yarra Glen, and fashions on the field contestant Brooke Walter, from Mount Evelyn, have been turning heads amid the ever-popular Melbourne Spring Carnival.

Walter so much so that she took out first place in the coveted fashions on the field event at this year’s Cox Plate.

On a day where champion mare Winx stole the show, Walter wasn’t far behind, with the recent Bachelor of Oral Health graduate awarded the top prize.

Walter said she loved nothing more than a day out at the races.

“I won Miss Emirates at Flemington when I was just 14, and it’s kind of rolled on from there,” she said.

“Racing is a great social event, a great atmosphere and I enjoy it.”

Walter said there was no secret to her elevation to the dais, just that she was not fazed whether she followed fashion trends or not.

“You can never pick it, so I just try to wear what I’m confident in and what’s appropriate for the weather,” she said.

While Walter's racing star is seemingly on the rise, one already well-established is Charlotte Hall’s, who had the pleasure of judging on the day.

Hall comes from a racing family and lives close to the Yarra Glen Racecourse.

Her father is involved in the sport, with her great uncle racing royalty, after he trained Kiwi to the Melbourne Cup in 1983.

Hall agreed with Walter's sentiment that there is no right way to select an award-winning outfit.

“We’re seeing a lot more clashes of colour - a lot of pink and red clashes - which is exciting and much more fun for the judges. Black isn’t necessarily the new black,” she said.

Mount Lilydale Mercy College received a welcome $2 million funding boost on Friday 27 October, with former student and Monbulk MP present to make the announcement.

The Catholic co-educational college caters for students from Years 7 to 12, with the funds supporting the first stage of the school’s upgrade.

This will include a new VCE Learning Commons building, featuring a new senior library and two levels of general purpose classrooms.

Mr Merlino said the funding boost represented a major coup for the region.

“It was wonderful to return to my old school to announce this funding boost and chat to teachers and students about what it will mean for them,” he said.

“Mount Lilydale Mercy College has great teachers and a welcoming, inclusive environment, and I’m sure they will take full advantage of these improvements.”

The second stage of the project will involve the construction of a new three-level classroom block, staff offices and associated spaces.

The existing library will be refurbished to provide a new visual arts hub.

The new learning spaces will be of enormous benefit, because it allows students to move through Years 10 to 12 at their own pace.

The college is one of many Victorian schools benefiting from the Victorian Government’s $120 million Capital Funding Program for Non-government Schools.

Racing fashion stars

Charlotte Hall, left, is a regular at local and city race meets. 174724 “If it’s line-ball, it often comes down to the entrants themselves, and how they present themselves.”

Both racing enthusiasts praised the quality of local racing days and encouraged local support.

One of the biggest days on the Yarra Valley Racing calendar is the Yarra Valley Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday 7 November, as well as Oaks Day on Thursday 9 November.

Another is the highly anticipated Early Christmas Race Meet on Saturday, 25 November.

Hope for NDIS in rollout Yarra Ranges is the latest Victorian region to undergo change in how disability services are accessed, with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) rolling out in the area this month.

Though only in the initial stages, the NDIS, which came into effect on Wednesday 1 November, aims to provide a more personal, “face-toface” support service for residents living with a permanent disability.

NDIS providers in the Yarra Ranges have accepted there will be teething problems, particularly in the early months, but are confident the rollout will result in positive change.

One of the major benefits is the choice offered to service-users, who will now have a greater say in how their allocated funds are used.

Melba Support Services chief executive officer, Glenn Foard, said the NDIS would be worth the wait.

“We’ve campaigned for it ... we recognised the present system wasn’t working as well as it should, so we’re very excited by the rollout,” Mr Foard said.

“The NDIS gives more control to the individual, choice in how the funds allocated to them is used for their support. This is well overdue and will ensure individuals receive reasonable and necessary support. It represents a huge step forward.”

Mr Foard said Melba and NDIS registered providers in the Yarra Ranges had been busy preparing service-users for the change, with many information sessions being conducted.

He estimated it would take about six months for the initial transition phase to be completed.

“Many individuals will be developing and preparing their first plan. So spreading information is crucial in the early rollout phase,” he said.

“It will take a lot of work and time, but we are confident it will provide fundamental support.”

Mr Foard added there are already successful case studies within the Yarra Ranges, due to early rollout initiatives.

Jane Prentice, the Victorian Assistant Minister for Disability Services, said the roll-out of the NDIS in the Outer East region was an important

milestone for people with a disability, their families, carers and the broader local community.

“The NDIS will also generate jobs and local investment, which will ensure people with disability have the assistance they need to help them achieve their goals,” Mrs Prentice said.

“The NDIS is one of the largest social policy reforms in Australia’s history, it is already empowering more than 15,000 Victorians with disability, helping them to fulfil their goals and participate in community life.”

By July 2019, it is estimated that 105,000 Victorians will have transitioned to the scheme.

This includes 76,000 clients from the existing Victorian specialist disability and mainstream systems.

The number of people living with disability receiving support in the Outer East Melbourne (Knox, Maroondah and the Yarra Ranges) area is expected to grow from 5700 to 7700 by 2019.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is the independent agency responsible for implementing the NDIS.

Other local service providers include the Ferntree Gully-based Knoxbrooke.

Meanwhile, Yarra Ranges Council will not be an NDIS provider, but will continue to provide the Home and Community Care (HACC) program, which provides domestic assistance, personal care, respite care, meals on wheels and other services, while State Government funding continues.

For more information about HACC, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/hacc.

Visit www.ndis.gov.au or call 1800 800 110 to find out how people with disability, providers and the community can get NDIS ready, or call Latrobe Community Health on 1800 242 696.

Melba Support Services will be holding an NDIS information session at its Lilydale office (40-50 Melba Avenue, Lilydale) at 6pm on Thursday 16 November.

To register your interest in attending, or for more information, contact 9212 0100.

Yarra Ranges residents are encouraged to visit the NDIS website www.ndis.gov.au to find out how to get NDIS ready.

Solar power milestone celebrated

By Derek Schlennstedt Cardinia Shire has celebrated its 1000th solar panel in the municipality, nine years after it installed a 2kw solar electricity system at Emerald Library.

The 1000th panel, also placed at Emerald Library, is now part of 22.8kW system, contributing towards exceeding 250kW of installed capacity across 15 sites in the Cardinia Shire.

The shire has saved more than $70,000 per annum in energy costs on council buildings.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen said it was a great contribution, and he was proud to be mayor of a council so committed to reducing its carbon footprint.

“We, as a council, are aiming to achieve zero net emissions for council operations and a 36 per capita reduction in community emission by 2024,” Mr Owen said.

“Council has embraced solar electricity, and now we have currently 14 systems across 14 building across our shire.”

Mr Owen also harked back to the early days of solar, when in 2008 Emerald Library was the first building in the council area to receive a solar system - much due to the strong lobbying by Peter Cook, from the Dandenong Ranges Renewable Energy Association.

“Council’s first solar energy system was here, at the Emerald Library back in 2008 ... it is quite fitting that we are relaunching a new system and

celebrating the 1000th solar panel in Cardinia Shire,” Mr Owen said.

“The 1000th panel is right above us, and council now has more than 260kw in solar electricity systems at council sites.”

Overall, the solar systems are achieving an annual reduction in emission of 364 tonnes of carbon dioxide - the same emissions as produced by 91 average cars.

Peter Cook, who was heavily involved in getting the first system, said that since operating, the new solar system has accounted for about 53 per cent of the library’s power.

Emerald Library also received a TV unit that shows the percentage of power output which the new solar system produces.

P-plater’s ‘lucky’ tangle with tree

By Derek Schlennstedt A P-plater was “lucky to be alive“ said Emerald Acting Sergeant Marcus Coolen, following a serious crash this morning on Macclesfield Road.

About 6.30am a local Macclesfield male, lost control of his Toyota Hilux along Macclesfield Road before sliding down an embankment and colliding with a tree.

The driver was travelling towards Emerald, and police believe wet driving conditions may have been a factor in the resulting crash.

Macclesfield road was closed from Avon Road for two hours, with emergency services crews working to free the man from the wreckage.

“The driver was quite firmly trapped, and had to take the roof off ... took quite some time,” Macclesfield CFA captain Sharon Merritt said.

Ambulance Victoria reported the teenage male was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with no significant injuries.

Nostalgic feel to film

By Effie Caloutas Belgrave’s Cameo Theatre is set to host a local film release, with a special showing of ‘Comet Kids’ on Saturday 18 November.

The brainchild of Pakenham-based independent filmmaker Glenn Triggs, the family adventure film is based around six friends who find a piece of passing comet.

The period-based film is set in the characters’ quaint hometown in the 1950s.

Triggs said he hoped to pay homage to some classics through the film.

“We spent three years making this film and I believe it can sit on the same shelf as the films that inspired it in the first place, ‘The Goonies’ and ‘Stand by Me’.

“The film is full of emotion, laughs, danger, adventure and fun.”

The nostalgic feel of the film is enhanced by many blasts from the past, including appearances

from 1980s hit singer Marty Rhone, Reg Gorman from ‘The Sullivans’, and Tiriel Mora from ‘The Castle’.

Triggs, himself, has been praised for recreating the atmosphere, look and innocence of the 1950s.

In addition to the Cameo showing, ‘Comet Kids’ is set to be released in cinemas nationwide, but the film-maker said it was great to have it shown locally.

Triggs said he loved all aspects of making films.

“The last two features, ‘41’ and ‘Apocalyptic’, have been released worldwide and seen by millions of people,” he said.

“Film making ... tickles my creative brain like no other medium. From script-writing to editing, each step along the way brings challenges and excitement, as nothing slowly forms into something incredible.”

Actors within the film have also enjoyed the roles, including Rhone who plays Cliff, the villain in the film.

Rhone said he really liked the look of the film, after attending a cast and crew screening.

“Some great locations outside of Melbourne and in rural Victoria were chosen and the cinematography of Bernard Winter is exceptional and gives the film a great look,” he said.

Rhone said he enjoyed playing the villain, Cliff.

“I had a lot of fun playing the villain. It was my first film playing the bad guy and it allowed me to explore my dark side and provided more character personality options,” he said.

The film will be released on DVD through Pinnacle Film on Wednesday 20 December.

Remembrance Day services details in the hills

By Derek Schlennstedt RSL sub-branches throughout the Dandenong Ranges will conduct services on Remembrance Day - Saturday, 11 November.

Services honour all those who have died in war, but this year will especially reflect on significant anniversaries including the centenary of Beersheba in WW1 and the 75-year anniversaries of El Alamein and the Kokoda Campaign in WW2.

Beersheba was the scene of an historic charge by the 4th Light Horse Brigade on 31 October.

The Light Horsemen of the 4th and 12th Regiments charged the Turkish trenches in a surprise attack that carried them through the Turkish defences.

Vital water supplies were saved and over 1000 Turkish prisoners were taken.

El Alamein was one of the decisive battles of World War 2. The main battle was fought from

23 October to 5 November 1942 when the British Eighth Army, which included the Australian Ninth Division, launched a major offensive against German and Italian forces.

This year also marks the 75th anniversary of the Kokoda Campaign.

Remembrance Day is a day to pause and remember those who gave their lives and one way in which this will be honoured is by the laying of poppies and reciting of the poem “In Flanders Fields”.

Views on council upgrade

By Peter Douglas The Yarra Ranges community now has the chance to have its say on the proposed $28 million redevelopment of its council’s offices.

With advertising starting, written submissions to council are being sought regarding the upcoming Lilydale Civic Centre planning application.

The redevelopment proposal came after an extensive feasibility study conducted in 2015.

The then-council endorsed the study after plans to relocate to the former Swinburne site in Lilydale fell over.

The proposal aims to address the identified deficiencies of the building including an outdated design, a lack of disability access and an energy inefficient set-up due to a “patchwork” of buildings being used.

The infrastructure has been described as being from “the beginning of time”, with ongoing issues including termite and water damage.

Yarra Ranges chief executive officer, Glenn Patterson, has described the building as “substandard” and said a redeveloped civic centre would allow the council to meet its current and future needs.

“The project will provide the opportunity to

consolidate all employees on one site, removing the need for an externally leased premises,” Mr Patterson said when the feasibility study won council support in mid-2015.

For ratepayers to view the proposal, they first need to visit council’s ePlanning service at https://eplanning.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

After selecting the ‘Property’ search field and searching for ‘15 Anderson Street, Lilydale’ - residents can view the documents and follow prompts to make a submission.

Submissions are only permitted during the advertising period, which started on Thursday 26 October and finishes on Tuesday 21 November.

After the advertising period finishes, council will evaluate the submissions before making a final decision on the application at a future council meeting.

Earlier this year, council embarked on an extensive six-week community consultation process for the public space component of the Civic Centre Redevelopment.

Yarra Ranges Council said more than 1600 people gave face-to-face feedback.

To view the application directly, visit https:// goo.gl/3UDYkj (case sensitive).

Picture of compassion is recognised

Dandenong Ranges Steiner School student Dakota Rassavong was recognised for her compassion, integrity and kindness at a presentation ceremony for the Fred Hollows Humanity Awards in Melbourne on 26 October.

A national initiative of The Fred Hollows Foundation, the Humanity Award acknowledges Year 6 students who follow in Fred’s footsteps by demonstrating humanitarian values towards others.

Chair of The Fred Hollows Foundation and former Premier, John Brumby, presented students

with their certificates, noting that the students were an inspiration to others, despite being so young.

“These young Victorians have shown confidence, compassion and leadership within their schools and in the wider community,” Mr Brumby said.

“Their care and concern for those around them is an inspiration, not only to their peers, but to their teachers, parents and everyone they meet.”

Dakota was nominated by a staff member at her school, Wendy McMahon, for her incredible support of a school and orphanage

in Cambodia.

Dakota supported the school and orphanage by raising more than $150 through busking and saving coins at home.

“Dakota is extraordinarily aware of the suffering of others and how her effort and kindness can make a difference,” Ms McMahon said.

The Fred Hollows Humanity Award began in the ACT in 2012 before expanding into Victoria last year.

This year it became a truly national initiative with 420 children nominated across the country, including 81 students from Victoria.

Opinion Road in ruins

Perry held a Wurundjeri smoking ceremony with principal Jodie Doble at the opening of the new 'inclusion hub' at Emerald Secondary College.

Smoke of inclusion

By Derek Schlennstedt After two years of planning, students with a learning or physical disability will have a new inclusion building to work from at Emerald Secondary College.

The school held an official opening on Tuesday 31 October, with students, staff and community members taking part in a Wurundjeri smoking ceremony before taking a tour of the new inclusion building. Jodie Doble, principal of Emerald Secondary College said the new building was a testament to the hard work of students, parents and the local community.

“There is an African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child, and it certainly has taken the whole Emerald community to make sure we have got exactly what we want for our children and for their future,” she said at the opening.

Much of the landscaping surrounding the inclusion centre came from VCAL students whose final year project was to construct a garden area for students to enjoy.

Many of the tools and plants used for the space also came from local Emerald businesses, including Mitre 10 and Emerald co-op.

Inside, the building has several rooms including a sensory room, interview room, meeting room and a physio room run by Emerald Hills Physiotherapy.

“Inside we do have a sensory room, intervention rooms, small group meeting rooms, conference room, counselling room, and multi-purpose rooms that we can use for support programs as well as learning and education programs ... it really is a fabulous facility,” she said before taking staff and students on a tour.

Though the road to the facility's construction hasn’t been without its problems, and following James Merlino’s $1.5 million funding announcement in the 2015-'16 budget, there were worries from parents about the future layout.

The new inclusion hub was originally part of a funding promise by Mr Merlino which would replace old school portables where integration students took part in specialised education programs. Ms Doble said that the new building could not have been done without the help of local community groups and businesses.

“It certainly has taken the whole Emerald community to make sure we have got exactly what we want for our children and for their future,” she said.

“It’s an absolutely amazing facility and I’m very proud of the inclusion leader and all staff.”

I note with interest that (Yarra Ranges) Council has commenced widening works on the western end of Old Emerald Road, Monbulk (OER), from McAllister Road to Monbulk-Silvan Road.

As with the installation of new footpaths and extensive drainage works, these are for the benefit of those attending the new soccer centre.

As I see it, OER is currently divided into a ‘have’ section and a ‘have not’.

The ‘have’ section is a made road with drainage and culverts; it will now have further enhancements, with widening and new bitumen.

For those less fortunate ratepayers, the ‘have not’ section is a dangerous, unmade road.

Its deep gouges double as its drainage channels; they get deeper with each downpour and narrow the road even further. Driveway entrances are washed away, as there are no culverts.

Water lies across the road for weeks at a time after a downpour, creating more potholes.

During the recent few days of warmer weather, the ‘have not’ ratepayers choked in endless thick clouds of dust kicked up by the trucks and increased vehicle numbers now using the road.

It is difficult to choose between which is worse: the caking dust and legendary corrugations, or the terrible mud-filled potholes.

To heap upon the misery, the open speed limit of 100km/h - compared to 60km/h in the ‘have’ section - means that we must also dodge those drivers that take the open speed limit as a challenge or an invitation. It is a road notorious for accidents, including one fatal. You may ask why anyone would willingly drive along the ‘have not’ section, but it is now the route dictated by GPS and Google when travelling from Emerald and surrounds to the soccer centre, because it is the shortest and quickest route. Council has flatly refused to make ‘any’ improvements to the unmade section of OER; council previously indicated that if it were to, ratepayers would be hit with a special charge scheme of about $18,000 per house.

Why is there such inequality between ratepayers for two parts of the same road?

Say hello, goodbye

This one’s zombie-riffic

By Peter Douglas

Train to Busan (MA15+) Starring: Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi and Kim Su-an

Iconic musician John Pyke is preparing to play his final shows.

lian music landscape for more than a decade.

Over time, he’s become well-loved for his intricate storytelling, thoughtful folk pop arrangements and finely honed stage chops.

Pyke has released five studio albums, all of which have gained prestigious accolades and critical acclaim.

But Pyke doesn’t mince words, when saying he needs a rest after a hectic but rewarding period in his life.

“After I’ve wrapped up this year’s shows, both here and abroad, I’ve decided to go on hiatus from touring my own stuff for a while,” he said.

“The last dozen or so years of touring have been wild and hugely rewarding, and now I’m keen to dig in to some other creative projects.

“In the meantime, I can’t wait to play for you all for the rest of 2017.”

For more details, visit www.sookilounge.com. au

Train to Busan is a South Korean horror-thriller film following a group of people stuck on a moving train with a horde of the undead, as a zombie outbreak sweeps the nation.

Almost every aspect of Train to Busan is pitch-perfect, from the writing to the tension and carnage.

Train to Busan generates an intense feeling of unease from its first moments, and while it mostly takes place in well-lit train carriages, the film is deeply suspenseful due to the relentless savagery of the zombies and how attached we become to its characters.

Several of the main characters embody certain archetypes, including the workaholic father, the boorish husband and the selfish businessman, but all of them have engaging depth and distinctive personality beyond their basic templates, and they all change or grow in some tangible way.

Every plan or action, while charged with fear and desperation, feels logical, and the zombies operate on clear rules that the characters learn convincingly.

The film also makes a poignant statement on paranoia, and how crisis can degrade - or reaffirm - our humanity.

The violence is gory but not excessive, and the action scenes are superbly structured, with clear sense of landmarks and where every entity is coming from in each scene.

Train to Busan is a riveting, finely-crafted experience that further demonstrates what a powerhouse South Korea has become in the dark thriller genre.

One of Australia’s most exciting musicians, Josh Pyke, will soon bid farewell to the music scene through a series of performances, including at the Sooki Lounge on Friday 8 December.

Earlier this year, Pyke announced his 10 Years of Memories and Dust regional tour, alongside the news Pyke will hang up his guitar and go on hiatus from the end of 2017.

In what may be one of the last opportunities to see Pyke live, at least for the foreseeable future, he will perform one of his most popular releases in full, ‘Memories and Dust’.

While not completely signing off from creative duties, Pyke told the ‘Mail’ it was time to freshen up and follow new creative ventures.

“This tour feels right ... it’s like I’ve gone a full circle since the release of Memories and Dust,” Pyke said.

“I’m so grateful for the support I’ve had since I started, but now I’ve got a clear horizon ... I want to follow other creative outlets and that still takes time.”

Chiefly among these will be working with other musicians, both in a creative sense and a mentorship role.

In recent times, through his Josh Pyke Partnership organisation, he has helped mentor the likes of Gordi, who is presently impressing audiences nationwide.

“When I was coming through, I worked with John Butler, and I learned a lot from many along the way, too. Now I can give some of that back,” he said.

From his first appearance in Triple J’s Hottest 100 - with ‘Middle of the Hill’ coming in at No.19 in 2005 - to the 2017 release of his greatest hits album, Josh Pyke has been a part of the Austra-

Wandin unable to prevail

By Chris Anderson YARRA VALLEY CRICKET ASSOCIATION Despite cold conditions and persistent Friday night rains, cricket still surged forward across the Yarra Valley for another uninterrupted day of delightful cricket.

In the newly structured top grade, the league saw the third instalment of the Strachan Shield/ Finger Trophy crossover games.

With the untimely passing of Don Strachan, undoubtedly Yarra Valley Cricket Association royalty, it was great to see cricket played in great spirit, with some close results a feature.

Unfortunately, Wandin was unable to salute in tribute of their legend, but their spirit was certainly there as they found the going tough on the road against competition leaders Mount Evelyn.

Mount Evelyn batted first and from the outset they had the whip handle, courtesy of another fine opening partnership from emerging stars Jesse Fraser and Daniel Giblin.

Fraser was superb as the mainstay of the innings as he recorded a memorable maiden century.

His partners came and went, as they didn’t have the discipline to capitalise on a string of starts, but Fraser remained firm and dominated his team’s score of 252 with a brilliant 130.

The Wandin bowlers toiled hard, and despite the large score, their persistence netted the 10 wickets.

Young leg-spinner Jamie Elliott was the main wicket taker with 3/71.

The total was always going to be difficult to chase, and that it proved to be.

Some lusty blows from James Freeman on his way to a half century frustrated the home team, but with little sustained support from the other end the task proved too great.

With the medium pace bowlers having little success, spinner Jon Williams proved to be the game breaker with the tidy haul of 5/28 to finish the contest off and lead his team to a comprehensive 128-run victory.

Defending champions Warburton-Millgrove seem to be finding their feet again after some early season wobbles.

The Burras comfortably accounted for Gruyere in the battle of last season’s best with the Strachan Shield champs taking on the Finger Trophy premiers.

The gap between the two competitions has proven to be quite close; but at the top end, Gruyere found it tough to match Warburton-Millgrove’s depth.

Batting first, the Scorpion found it tough to build significant partnerships against a relentless Burras attack.

The Burras pose threats with both their pace and spin, and this again on show.

Experienced spinner Adam Humphrey rarely gives a batsman an inch and again he suffocated the opposition with 3/16, while David Lever’s control of the swinging ball make him a danger

for any opposition.

Eventually, an undermanned Gruyere succumbed for 81.

The chase proved to hold no fears for the Burras as they chased down the with the loss of only two wickets.

Sean Humphrey has proved to b a great acquisition for the Burras as he remained unbeaten on 45.

Next week sees an intriguing grand final rematch between the in-form Mount Evelyn and the dangerous Warburton-Millgrove.

A contest that both players and supporters will look forward to.

As has been the case in the other two crossover rounds, the Finger Trophy teams have proven the gap is narrow between the competitions with the second tier teams claiming a top tier scalp in each of the previous rounds.

This time it was Woori Yallock who proved that the departure of some big time players over the off season hasn’t dented their finals aspirations with a tight victory against Seville.

Batting first, the Tigers were able to post a reasonable total of 9/149 on the back of consistent contributions throughout their innings.

Experience at the top proved to be a guiding light as Cal Ferguson (51) and Mick Dwyer (24) gave their team a platform to build on.

Seville captain Matt Hadlum (3/29) was again his team’s best bowler as his wickets kept things in check for the visitors whilst he was well supported by Daniel Healy (2/22).

Seville gave the chase a fair shake and always had the score moving at the required rate, but regular wickets continually had them under the pump.

Without a significant partnership, the total wasn’t given sufficient chance to grow.

Ferguson capped off a great game capturing 4/29, and with the support of Adam Dunn (3/43), they were able to hold Seville at bay to record an important 25-run victory.

Yarra Glen tasted the bitterness of defeat for the first time this season last week, and a Round 5 meeting against in-form neighbours Coldstream set up an interesting contest.

Yarra Glen batted first, and led by captain David Brambilla’s impressive unbeaten 65, they were able to post a more than acceptable 6/146 at a venue notoriously hard to score quickly at.

Supported by Andy Cowan (37), Brambilla’s half century was the key to the River Pigs’ innings; it was challenged by an excellent spell of disciplined bowling from the evergreen Leam Doughty who netted 4/45.

The home team battled to spark their innings in return as Richard Ellisdon (3/21) matched Doughty’s tidy spell.

In the end, Doughty (35) played a line hand for the Crocs as limited contributions with both bat and ball from his teammates consigned them to a 28-run loss.

Perhaps a ‘what could’ve been’ moment for

Coldstream as they were close enough if good enough.

For Yarra Glen, their promising start to the season continues as they start to build a platform from which finals could be a real possibility in their second year back in the top tier.

Yarra Junction also played themselves back into the winners circle, but they did it the hard way against Hoddles Creek.

The Eagles batted first, and they stumbled along without any great certainty.

Pat Ford (34) and Andy Wear (26) offered some substance to the innings, but like their teammates they were unable to capitalise against some tidy Wombat bowlers.

Will Trotter has proven to be a trump card with the new ball with his consistent approach proving difficult for opponents.

His five wicket haul ensured the Eagles would find it difficult to kick away, and along with his team-mates, they were able to restrict the home side to a below par 120.

Unfortunately for the visitors, they found the going just as tough as their opposition.

Playing against his old side, Nick Bark (2/19) was able to tighten the screws on the Wombats, while Wear (2/11) was also miserly.

With no batsman scoring over 14, the Wombats were suffocated into submission by a gritty Eagles bowling outfit.

The Eagles will be well pleased with their fight and a Round 6 clash against Yarra Glen will give a good insight into how much each of these teams have improved.

For the Wombats, a missed opportunity to claim a Strachan Shield scalp.

In the final match-up, Healesville proved too strong for Launching Place.

Launching Place batted first and after Dermott Fry (3/15) made some early inroads into the batting line up, their innings gathered momentum courtesy of a combination of youth and experience.

Young-gun Max Bradley (30) is proving he is capable of standing up to the big boys with an impressive showing, whilst stalwart Stuart Parker (30) proved to be a valuable ally.

The pair put on a partnership of 71 before their team’s batting effort was quickly put into a tailspin when their innings as looking to blossom.

Scott Hamer (2/18) removed the pair, then a devastating hat-trick from James Shambrook (4/13) quickly saw the innings put to a halt closing at 115.

In recent weeks, Brenton Damrow and Scott Hamer have established a useful partnership at the top for the Bloods, and the combination again proved important in the run chase.

Hamer’s half century ensured the home team wouldn’t be challenged as they raced to a seven wicket victory in the 25th over.

Lochie Winter-Annette (2/18) gave the visitors something to cheer about with a couple of wickets, but his efforts were forlorn in defeat.

Monbulk have it their way, all right?

Monbulk hosted St John’s-Tecoma in a doubleheader Twenty20 match.

No other junior or senior matches were played this weekend due to the Melbourne Cup. The seconds won back-to-back games for the first time in a while.

Batting first, Monbulk made 5/148 from their 20 overs, thanks largely to a match-winning opening partnership between Aaron Bermingham and Matt Neal.

They then restricted St John’s to 5/121 with a great team performance with the ball and in the field, with Josh Rak the pick of the bowlers with 2/18 from his four overs.

The seniors remain undefeated after an exciting last-over win.

Chasing St John’s-Tecoma’s 6/159, Aaron Powell hit a six with a ball to spare to win the match.

Man of the match, Powelly, finished on 31 not out and took 3/22.

A 70-run opening stand between Brodie Emmett and Brian Martin set up the run chase.

All teams back on board next weekend with the trivia night the following weekend - Saturday 18 November. Book it in for a fun night.

Seniors, junior and Milo parents - friends and family - welcome. See website for more details.

Also book in for the whole family - The 10th Monbulk Fun Run on Sunday 26 November - 4km or 8km run/walk - starting at 9am at the Monbulk Cricket Ground.

Motoring Creativity in the concept Seven Toyota concept cars just unveiled reveal a dynamic future of desirable vehicles offering mobility for everyone, including cars that will drive themselves and alternative powertrains that rely on renewable energy.

The seven concepts confirm that future Toyota owners will be offered stylish vehicles including a sports car, a premium performance sedan, a flexible off-roader and innovative vehicles that can be operated regardless of a person’s driving ability.

Toyota’s show cars present a significant step towards sustainable mobility with fuel-cell and battery-electric powertrains as well as advances in Toyota’s existing hybrid and conventional engine technologies.

The concepts build on Toyota’s commitment, as worldwide partner of The Olympic Games and The Paralympic Games, to create an opportunity for people to challenge the impossible and defy their limitations.

The seven vehicles are: GR HV Sports Concept: A sports car with a racing-inspired hybrid powertrain.

Fine-Comfort Ride sedan and Sora concept bus: Fuel-cell vehicles.

Concept-i (four-seat sedan), Concept-i Ride (two-seat city car) and Concept-i Walk (for pedestrian areas): Battery-electric vehicles.

Tj Cruiser: A new type of off-roader combining an SUV and a van with petrol and hybrid options.

Future motorists looking for a fun open-top sports car with performance derived from Toyota’s latest motorsport-developed hybrid technologies will be tempted by Toyota’s GR HV Sports Concept.

High-performance motoring is also central to the Fine-Comfort Ride concept sedan which is designed for a 220km/h top speed, a sprint to

· · · ·

The Toyota GR HV Sports Concept. 174692 100km/h in just 5.4 seconds and a 1000-kilometre range on a single fill of hydrogen sourced from renewable energy.

This premium sedan and the Concept-i series of electric cars apply artificial intelligence to recognise emotions and estimate driver preferences, combined with automated driving technology for maximum safety.

In addition to the ground-breaking four-seat Concept-i, Toyota has revealed the two-seat Concept-i Ride that can accommodate anyone including wheelchair users and the elderly, plus the Concept-i Walk for use in areas frequented by pedestrians.

Toyota displays show it has not forgotten its off-road heritage with the breakthrough Tj

Cruiser that combines the flexibility of an SUV with the storage capacity of a van, powered by advanced hybrid or petrol engines.

The final concept is another fuel-cell vehicle, the Sora concept bus. A production version will go on sale next year, with more than 100 to be introduced ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Used cars can still be safe - check the guide Records from over 7.5 million vehicles involved in police-reported road crashes in Australia and New Zealand between 1987 and 2015 are analysed by Monash University’s Accident Research Centre, and given a one to five star safety rating.

“With most new cars of the past decade fitted with advanced safety features, we are now finally seeing more vehicles in the used car segment with crash avoidance systems,” said RACV manager of vehicle engineering, Michael Case.

A showcase feature of the Used Car Safety Ratings is the Safer Pick feature, which indicates the safest vehicle in their respective classes.

The vast majority of “Safer Pick” cars were manufactured from 2001 onwards, showing the benefits of newer vehicles in terms of safety equipment available.

“It is great to see that a few Safer Pick vehicles are available secondhand for under $10,000. This is a great outcome for young drivers, who are often on a budget and in many cases, tend to drive cars with less safety features - despite the fact that younger drivers are much more likely to be involved in a crash,” Mr Case said.

The data analysis which takes place for the Used Car Safety Ratings is rigorous, and a vehicle will not receive a rating until it has been involved in at least 100 crashes and at least 20 driver injuries.

“Picking the safest vehicle possible should be every driver’s first consideration, and our Used Car Safety Ratings gives buyers the information they need to make this decision,” Mr Case said.

Ensure your next used car meets up to safety standards.

Used cars can offer great value, particularly for those on low budgets who can’t afford showroom expenses.

But not all used cars are principally safe - in fact, a driver in the worst rated vehicle in this year’s Used Car Safety Ratings is 10 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than a driver in a vehicle in the safest category.

The good news is that there is at least one excellent safety performer awarded the full fivestar rating in every vehicle category in this year’s RACV Ratings, making it even easier for motorists to pick the safest car for their budget.

Each year, an alliance made up of governments, motoring clubs including RACV, and safety groups including TAC and VicRoads, gathers used car safety ratings, based on statistics collected from car crashes in Australia and New Zealand.
