Boundary wars By Peter Douglas, Derek Schlennstedt, Rowan Forster In what could prove an election-defining decision, the Australian Electoral Commission has announced a major shake-up of the Casey and La Trobe federal electorates. Under a draft proposal, released on Friday 6 April, the Casey electorate will shift further south-west and snap up La Trobe's hills-based communities, effectively aligning Casey's boundaries with the local government area of Yarra Ranges. While La Trobe will lose major townships including Belgrave, Upper Ferntree Gully and Lysterfield, incumbent MP Jason Wood will gain Pakenham and nearby satellite towns. The sweeping changes to electoral boundaries come with a federal election potentially only 12 months away. Traditionally, Casey is a safe Liberal stronghold, while La Trobe is marginal, with Jason Wood claiming a narrow victory from Labor's Simon Curtis in the 2016 election. Mr Wood, who grew up in hills area, reassured residents the changes would not affect his election promises. "In our Liberal Party submission, neither myself, nor the Liberal Party made an application that I lose the Dandenong Ranges ... Labor partly did, the Greens did, but I wasn't trying to get away from the hills," Mr Wood said. "To me, there's very much unfinished business on three projects I'm working on at the moment. "One is the Ridge Walk ... the other is the widening of the Mountain Highway ... I'm also right behind the performing arts centre in the Sherbrooke community school. "Those three big projects ... I want delivered." Mr Wood said until the redistribution draft is finalised, he would continue to work as if nothing had changed, though he has been in contact with Tony Smith. "With the redistribution, if it did end up going that way, I am working with Tony Smith, who would take those areas and who is very supportive of working with me on those three projects." Meanwhile, committee chair and electoral commissioner, Tom Rogers, said the redistribution of the McMillan and La Trobe electorates was required to allow space for Victoria's new seat, Fraser.
Casey MP Tony Smith will represent hills communities, under the proposed changes. 178408
La Trobe MP Jason Wood (right), pictured at a Belgrave Hub announcement, will no longer represent Belgrave. 173702 The La Trobe electorate is projected to have 116,587 voters by August next year, which exceeds the maximum number permitted by the Electoral Act. "The high population growth in Victoria, together with the dispersed spread of electors has resulted in the Redistribution Committee proposing significant change to Victoria's electoral division boundaries," he said. He said McMillan, too, was in danger from exceeding its maximum number of electors. "A number of consequential changes were made across the state to not only the numerical criteria but also align communities of in-
terest where possible," Mr Rogers said. Redrawn electoral boundaries have historically factored into election results, particularly when key towns and cities are removed. Russell Broadbent's capture of McMillan at the 2004 election is attributed by many to the boundary changes of January 2003, which saw traditionally Labor-voting cities Traralgon and Morwell removed from the seat. Meanwhile, in Victoria, a brand new federal electorate for western Melbourne, Fraser, is set to be established, taking the number of electorates from 37 to 38.
Anyone with an interest in these proposals can make a written submission to the Australian Electoral Commission at FedRedistribution-VIC@aec.gov.au by 6pm on Friday 4 May. All objections will be published on the AEC's website at www.aec.gov.au from Monday 7 March. Comments on objections can be lodged until 6pm on Friday 18 May and will also be published on the AEC website from Monday 21 May. A final determination of the boundaries and names of the electoral divisions will be published on Friday 13 July.

College upgrade go-ahead Students in Monbulk will have the modern classrooms and school facilities they need to get the great education they deserve, thanks to a major upgrade by the Victorian Government. Education Minister, and Monbulk MP, James Merlino on Monday 16 April announced Monbulk College will get $8.5 million in the Victorian Budget 2018-19 to deliver Stage 3 of its existing upgrade. This includes construction of new classrooms, new specialist arts and fabric spaces, and a new canteen and home economic building. The school oval will also be upgraded, including improvements to its surface and lighting that will enable Monbulk College to enter into community partnerships with organisations such as the Monbulk Football and Netball Club. Mr Merlino said it was fantastic news for the school and its students. "Every student deserves access to a great local school and we're getting on with the job of building better schools here in Monbulk, and right across Victoria," Mr Merlino said. "Monbulk College's upgrade will mean more students will have access to the great local classrooms and facilities they deserve." Work is already underway on Stages 1 and 2 of the upgrade, which includes building a new library and modern information, communication and technology learning spaces. The new funding comes on top of $10.5 million already provided to the schools for Stages 1 and 2 of its upgrade. Vincent Chrisp Architects designed the upgrade, with Lloyd Group constructing the building. Stages 1 and 2 are on track to be completed in 2019, with the new Stage 3 expected to be completed in 2020. In addition, Kallista Primary School students and parents will soon have a safer walk

The Victorian Government has committed to investing $80,000 to install four flashing electronic speed signs to alert drivers to the 40kmh speed limit during school times. The Victorian Budget 2018-19 will include $23.9 million to improve road safety around our schools, while also providing a massive boost to Victoria's School Crossing Supervisor Program. Kallista Primary School will be one of the first schools to benefit, with dozens more
school safety announcements to follow over the coming weeks. Mr Merlino said school crossing and speed zones make a massive difference. "That's why we're investing in this program to make sure that every child, parent and teacher is safe when travelling to and from school," he said. "The Kallista Primary School community has told us they need a safer school zone and we've listened, investing in the flashing electronic signs this school community needs." The Labor Government has announced

Driver evasion On 7 April at about 8:45am Monbulk police attempted to intercept a yellow sedan. The vehicle was seen travelling at a fast rate of speed on Warburton Highway, in Seville. When police attempted to pull-over the vehicle it evaded police, speeding up and driving dangerously. The pursuit was called-off due to the drivers dangerous driving and soon after the offending driver dumped the vehicle at a residential address in Launching Place. Police recovered the vehicle which was then towed for evidentiary value and fingerprinting. Anybody with information is urged contact Mick Aston at Monbulk Police station on 9756 6266.

Head-on collision
Speak up on smoke as rule changes loom By Kath Gannaway Permits are out ... chimneas are in as part of potential changes to the rules around burning off across Yarra Ranges shire. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Len Cox, said the draft law was a result of feedback from the community last year, through pop-up sessions, online advertising and a survey. "Throughout 2017, we held 14 public popups where residents could comment on what they liked and what they would like changed in our laws around burning off," Cr Cox said. mailcommunity.com.au
$18.9 million to continue the popular School Crossing Supervisor Program, which has been in operation for more than 40 years. There are more than 3000 crossing supervisors across the state - the highest number of any state or territory in Australia, with Victoria the only state with supervised crossings outside secondary schools. The package will allow the school crossing supervisor program to continue to run until 2019 under a co-funding model between the Victorian Government and local councils.
He said the draft law attempts to balance the need to burn for fire prevention purposes with the need to protect health by addressing issues around smoke. "We've tried to simplify the process of burning off for residents by no longer requiring permits, which will make it easier for residents to burn off," Cr Cox said. "We are also proposing new offences around creating offensive smoke or smoke hazards to help protect residents." A number of features of the current law are
proposed to remain, such as a total ban on open air burning in Urban areas. "Now we're asking for the community to have their say again and let us know if they think this draft law strikes the right balance for them," Cr Cox said. Residents can view the draft Open Air Burning Local Law and make a submission at yarraranges.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay, in writing to PO Box 105, Lilydale, over the phone by calling 1300 368 333 or by emailing mail@yarraranges. vic.gov.au until 4pm on Monday, 7 May.

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda When your health practitioner tells you that you ‘have a subluxed vertebra’, ‘a disc is out’, or that they are helping to ‘flush toxins’ by massaging, alarm bells should start ringing. The problem is the alternative health practitioner field is so littered with junk terms that it’s hard sometimes to separate the wheat from the chaff. Some practitioners who use these terms or concepts do so with the right intention - they may be trying to simplify their communication or explanation of the problem into a form that they think the patient can understand. Others, in my opinion, likely have no idea that these terms are in fact meaningless or have no basis in fact. In many cases, clinicians use these terms to alarm people into thinking they need more therapy than they truly might. In either case, I think it is unhelpful to both the practitioner and the patient when these terms are used, and we should all feel the need to call out bulldust when we see or hear it. But how can the lay person know when they
are being deceived by a health practitioner, either knowingly or unknowingly? Let’s go back a step and allow me to qualify my position on this. I am not trying to demonise specific alternative health disciplines. I firmly believe that a manual or health therapist must have some inherent level of intuition, compassion and ‘feel’ to be a good practitioner. These things can’t necessarily be easily taught or learnt, though they can be refined with education, experience and mentoring. But a great health practitioner has those qualities as well as an education based in fact, knowledge and reason. The science world calls this evidence based practice. This allows a health practitioner to assess and diagnose based on fact and experience, to give treatment based on evidence showing that these treatments work for a particular problem, and to know when to refer on when the problem is outside their scope of practice. Knowing the boundaries or limitations of practice is perhaps the greatest challenge to less educated health practitioners, or those for whom their knowledge is not entirely based on evidence. So remember when you see you health practitioner - ask questions, seek to understand your problem from a scientific or anatomical point of view and don’t be sold by junk terms.

Multi-level car park plan By Peter Douglas The much-maligned car parking in Belgrave has received a major boost, with the Victorian Government announcing a further 470 spaces will soon become available. The Andrews Government's plan is to construct a new multi-level car park at the Belgrave Train Station precinct, which will add to the 160 spaces already available. Along with Monbulk MP James Merlino, Premier Daniel Andrews and Transport Minister Jacinta Allan met at Belgrave Train Station on Tuesday 10 April to reveal a bold $60 million plan to deliver Melbourne an additional 2000 new and upgraded car park spaces. Key stations include Sandown Park, Epping, Craigieburn and Belgrave. Mr Andrews said car parking at Belgrave will be more than doubled. "There'll be about 470 (car spaces at Belgrave) added - that takes cars off of local streets, allows more people to park to go shopping," Mr Andrews said. "It's also great for safety as well, people not having to walk distances back to their cars. "We're getting this done. This is the biggest boost in train station car parking the state has ever seen. This takes it to a total of 5000 spaces since coming into office. "It's all about making sure that not only can you get a seat on the train, but you can get a car park at the train station." Labor colleague Jacinta Allan said the planned works at Belgrave would include safety upgrades such as lighting and CCTV, as well as improved cycling storage facilities. Deputy Premier James Merlino said the car park couldn't come quick enough for Belgrave. "This is a fantastic announcement for Belgrave. Local residents, the traders, Puffing Billy have been crying out for more car parks," he said. "This car park is full very, very early in the morning; you simply can't get a car park if you

"By adding these car parks, it will service the whole of the hills community, so they can get onto our wonderful transport network and explore Melbourne." The lack of car park spaces has long been a contentious issue in Belgrave. Traders have previously said it is impossible to run a business if their clients can't find a place to park. Belgrave's Sooki Lounge co-owners Suzanah Pozvek and Stephen Crombie shared this sentiment, with Mr Crombie hopeful the an-
nouncement would change the landscape for traders. "We've had the (parking) issue for about 20 years now, where you can't park in Belgrave. So, obviously you're not going to come to do your shopping, come to the caf¨¦'s, just enjoy Belgrave in general," Mr Crombie said. "So locals will now get their town back, the traders will be able to get the chance to trade. It's a win-win. "Belgrave is basically the infrastructure point of the hills, but in the past it hasn't been looked at that way. But now it's getting the attention it deserved."
Ms Pozvek said Belgrave was screaming out for more parks. "We've seen businesses come and go in very short periods of time because they cannot get trade and it's really sad. We desperately need it," she said. For more information, visit www.victrack. com.au/carparkupgrades. Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy said a Liberal National Government would provide $4 million for 150 extra railway station car parking spaces at Eltham, Montmorency and Greensborough railway stations, located on the Hurstbridge line.

Smart drain
No justification for 'rort'
By Peter Douglas Yarra Ranges Council is trialling newly developed 'smart drain' technology, which is designed to significantly reduce the likelihood of flooding from overflows within the municipality. In a first not just for the region, but Australia-wide, the trial has taken place in Fernhill Rd, Mount Evelyn. The technology uses sonar and camera sensors to monitor water-levels and flow-rates from within roadside stormwater drains. The smart drains initiative also uses software that provides a dashboard view of the data, which offers a real-time view of the drain infrastructure. The objective is to provide immediate alerts so blockages can be addressed before inundation occurs. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Len Cox, said the technology had huge potential within the flood-prone shire. "Many of our stormwater pits, especially those in flood-prone areas, could be checked daily or several times per day," Cr Cox said. "This technology informs us quickly that there is a blockage, so we can send someone there immediately and have it removed and cleaned before further flooding and complications arise. "We are proud to be trailing this in the Yarra Ranges as an Australian first and, if the results are positive, we hope it can be adopted throughout the municipality." Yarra Ranges Council faces numerous local flood-management and drainage challenges, with more than 4900 properties known to be at risk of flooding from waterways or underground drains. Adding to these challenges are long-term future pressures on the existing drainage system associated with urban consolidation and

an increase in rainfall intensity, with about 7% of properties within the Yarra Ranges Council being prone to flooding. Director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis, said the technology has been trialled in Fernhill Rd, Mount Evelyn, because this area has a variety of stormwater drainage pits. "The trial has taken place at 12 pit locations so far, with about 15,000 pits in roads throughout the Yarra Ranges," he said. "Council is about to extend the trial to test the technology in some gross pollutant traps. "Gross pollutant traps are large stormwater pits that collect debris such as plastic bottles and other matter and stop them from entering waterways."
I note Geoff Champion's letter 'Silver lining on red shirt rort' (Mail, 3 April) which suggests the Labor rorts of nearly $400,000 is justified. It is important that the community are aware the Victorian Labor Party rorted this money using tactics that in any other business you would be sacked. Twenty-one Victorian Labor Members of Parliament were involved in signing blank time-sheets for the Labor Party to pay Labor Party campaigners in other areas of the state usually marginal seats. To make matters worse, Daniel Andrews then spent up to $1 million of taxpayers' money to stop the investigation and refused to be interviewed. What is the Premier hiding? When the investigation was finalised, the Ombudsman stated these activities were an 'artifice' and were 'wrong'. Daniel Andrews failed in his key commitment to the Victorian people, with his statement; 'I will take responsibility for everything under the government I lead'. He continues to deny the fact his team rorted hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now telling Victorians all is OK. I am sorry, Mr Andrews, it is not OK. Brad Battin, Member for Gembrook
Kindness of strangers When I arrived at Kallista Market, parking spots were scarce. I spied one and was driving towards it when I noticed a man trying to attract my attention. He motioned to my car wheels and informed me that I had driven over the winged base of a fallen metal street sign and slashed both left tyres. Roadside Assist said a tow would arrive shortly. But I would be without my car for two days, to which I protested. In the meantime, the helpful man had gone to recruit a friend and, together, they jacked up the car and put the spare in place.
I cancelled the tow. I offered a reward but they dismissed that saying, "No! It's just life". Before the friend left, I gave him a big grateful hug and he departed. The helpful man (angel) drove me and the flat tyre to the tyre centre in Monbulk. We returned with a new one which he fitted to my car. This angel also got a big hug and I couldn't express my gratitude enough. I gave him my blessings and assured him I would pass on the good deed. It had happened to me once before when I first moved to Monbulk almost two years ago; that a kind woman in my neighbourhood I'd never met offered to drive me 30km when I was without my car and waiting for a cab which never arrived. Simple acts of kindness: how lucky was I that, in this world of busyness and rush, those strangers stopped and assisted another stranger in need in such a selfless way. Anna Gdanski, Monbulk
Fluoride a wasteful addition Yarra Valley Water has plans to add fluoride to the Dandenong Ranges' water supply and I, among many others, are horrified to learn this. For those who know little or nothing about fluoride - here's what it actually is folks - toxic waste. Yes, you heard me - toxic waste. 'Why would the government add this to our water supply?', I hear you ask. Well - these companies can't legally dispose of this toxic waste in the ocean or bury it, so they make a nice little deal with the government to dispose of it through people's drinking water! How nice for them. Look, I am no scientist - but ingesting toxic waste every day kind of seems like a bad idea, no matter what reason I'm given. Katherine Holmes, Emerald

'Hall-mark' of dedication By Derek Schlennstedt For 100 years, Upwey CFA has been serving the hills community. For 50 of those, Peter Hall has been right there to serve. From saving cats stuck up trees, responding to fires on Ash Wednesday, and even setting up a defensive drivers program for young drivers, Peter Hall has been an enduring member of the Upwey CFA brigade and hills community. Now at the age of 74, he is hanging up the overalls and becoming a non-operational member. Though, he jokes; "he'll still find something to do"."50 years ... it's a bloody long time," he said. "It's been interesting ... when I joined initially, I was going to put in 12 months, this was in my early 20s, I thought I'd do a bit for the community ... here I am 50 years later. "In those days, if there was a pair of overalls hanging on the peg that fitted you and no one else was using them, you'd put them on and jump on the truck and that was it and you didn't know where you were going. "I've got to the stage now where I'm getting a bit long in the tooth ... I don't think I'd be able to get up into a truck anymore."Joining the brigade in 1967, but only being officially recognised as a member in 1968, Mr Hall reflected upon the many memorable moments and close bonds formed. "I've made some fantastic friends and lost some fantastic friends from here too ... it's a big part of your life," he said. "The camaraderie is second to none ... I can only talk for the hills brigades but the member support was fantastic, and still is." That support and camaraderie came in many forms for Mr Hall though and it was especially true when both his sons, Travis and Anthony Hall, were sadly killed in a car crash
After 50 years at the Upwey brigade, beloved local and member Peter Hall is hanhing up the overalls. in Cockatoo in 1995. The months that followed he said were hell. Though he stepped back briefly from the position of first lieutenant, he never resigned. Twelve months later, the Anthony and Travis Hall Memorial Driver Education Fund was launched by prominent members of the Dandenong Ranges Brigades: Peter Hall, Graeme Legge, Bob Horner, Geoff Champion and Peter Marke. The fund was created in memory of Travis and Anthony Hall, and was designed to provide drivers from the hills with essential edu-
cation in car control. It's a legacy that has helped over 100 young drivers learn defensive driving skills. "I did back off for a little while, not for long, I felt if I chucked the towel in then, it's not what the boys would have wanted ... we went through hell but we were lucky in the people we knew," Mr Hall said. "This year is 20 years of the fund and we've roughly had over 100 put through ... one of them, a young man from Kallista, came around a bend in Monbulk and another car was on his side of the road ... he swerved and pulled over.
"He told me later that if he hadn't have used the skills he learnt from the drivers course, it would've been a fatal accident. "It means a lot to know that and gives you a little bit of a boost to know that some good has come out of it." Over 50 years, there are many memorable moments. And through the technology, response times and the way in which CFA now respond to incidents has changed, Mr Hall said the people and the community have remained much the same and are as welcoming as ever.
Much thought goes into planned burn operations By Derek Schlennstedt After Black Saturday, the Dandenongs were identified as one of the most high-risk locations to in Victoria. One way to reduce that risk is planned burning. Over the past week, large swathes of land in the Dandenong Ranges have been burnt as part of planned operations. With many more planned around the Yarra Ranges area, the Mail spoke with Forest Fire Management members about the extensive planning that goes into these burns and how important they are to reduce fire risk in the community. One of those burns, on 13 April, which burnt 6.8 hectares on Aurora Rise in Sassafras, has been years in planning and now that it's completed provides comfort for residents living in the area - especially Sassafras Primary School. "This burn was an asset protection plan ... it's a burn that's objective is to protect communities in this case largely the school and other assets in sassafras and Olinda," Mr Shane Vandenborn Senior FFM manager for Fuel Management said. This planned burn had been years in the making and was important due to the proximity of the burn to Sassafras Primary school which backed onto the planned site. Principal Cathy Jones said that although the school has a fire plan and relocates to Boronia Primary on severe or code red days, she feels much more comfortable going into next year's summer fire season. "You go up the back of this school and it's just bush," Ms Jones said. "While we're gradually increasing in what we do around the school ... clear the land and have our plans, if that's an extreme load of fuel at the back of the school then we can do all that we can, but we are still sitting ducks, unless you do those burns. "It certainly makes me a lot happier." Planning for these types of burns occurs at all levels, from checking weather patterns to ensuring tourists and locals know about the burn and what impact it may have on them. 8 MAIL

"We have a set of parameters we need to meet ... weather, wind, humidity and then the fuel," District Manager for FFM Stephanie Carr said. "We've been in contact with the regional tourism authority, local tourism authority, local council, post office, community centres, bus companies; it's trying to use the community networks to share the message." Mr Vanderborn said that he understands
smoke from the planned burns can cause some concern for resident but there is only a small window of opportunity to undertake this fire risk reducing burns. "You don't just need the conditions on the day, you need the conditions of several weeks of drying weather trend, fuels on the day to not have had rain on them the night before, wind and weather conditions on the day to be suitable and also the next three to four days to be
suitable so you're not having any surprises." "It's not just the day it's the weeks leading up to it and it's the next week after the burn, those opportunities don't come around too often, that's why this autumn period is very important," he said.

ANZAC DAY
12385341-RC17-18
Reflect on sacrifices By Brad Battin, MP Member for Gembrook ANZAC Day, the time we pause to remember the bravery, selflessness and sacrifices our service men and women made for our country. Last July I had the honour of attending the 30,750th 'Last Post' at The Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, Belgium. Following the opening of the Menin Gate Memorial in 1927, the citizens of Ypres wanted to express their thanks to all who had given their lives for Belgium's freedom. At 20:00 hours every evening the buglers from the Last Post Association close the road and sound the 'Last Post'. This ANZAC day will be the 31021st time the bugles sound the 'Last Post' at the walls of The Menin Gate; the memorial engraved with 6,180 names of missing Australian troops in Belgium. My visit fell just days before the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele. Over the 8 long weeks of battle in waterlogged conditions, 38,000 Australian troops lost their lives, thousands of kilometres away from their homes and families. Attending the last post on the Belgian Flanders where our ANZAC's had made the ultimate sacrifice 101 years ago was a very humbling experience and one I will never forget. This ANZAC Day I encourage you all to take a moment to pause and reflect on those before us who fought for the freedoms our na-
Gembrook MP Brad Battin pays his respects. 179902 tion hold today and time to thank our past and current serving service men and women who continue to protect our nation's future.

ANZAC DAY
Century of service, and their sacrifice By Derek Schlennstedt Marking 100 years since Australia's involvement in the First World War, the Anzac Centenary is a time to honour the service and sacrifice of our original ANZACs, and the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations throughout a Century of service. Emerald RSL Sub-branch Past President, Peter Maloney, said this year's day of remembrance would be significant for numerous reasons and he encouraged all to march at the Emerald Anzac Day commemorations. This year, community collaboration between the Emerald Men's Shed and the Emerald RSL will ensure all groups taking place in the march have their own signs, too. ""The RSL has taken the opportunity for Anzac Day to embrace the community and encourage the community groups to take part in the Anzac Day march ... it is essentially the only opportunity throughout the year where the town can come together as one," Mr Maloney said. "The Emerald Men's Shed members will be marching as a group in their new uniforms and they will also be assisting the RSL by making the placards with the signs printed by Gemsigns. "The boys at the shed will also be building a podium for the RSL officials to use at the Dawn and Morning services so all those attending to get a better view of proceedings."
Monbulk RSL will host a dawn service from 6am, followed by a gunfire breakfast. A march will form at the Monbulk Mitre 10 at 9:30am, with a service at 10am to follow. Emerald RSL will hold a dawn service from 5.30am, followed by a 10:30am march from the town's cenotaph before a 10.55am morning service. Mt Evelyn RSL will hold a Dawn Service from 5.45am at the War Memorial Park, followed by a Commemorative March to the clubrooms where a free community breakfast and refreshments will be provided. The Dandenong Ranges RSL will hold a dawn service at the Anzac Avenue of honour memorial at 6.30am, followed by a breakfast at Ferny Creek Scout Hall. A march will begin at Wallaby Avenue in Sassafras at 10.30am with service to follow. The Rotary Club of Wandin is hosting the Anzac Day Service at the Wandin cenotaph with a commemorative service taking place at 8.30am.
This year Emerald RSL and the Emerald Men's shed are encouraging all to march at the Emerald Anzac Day commemorations. The Anzac Day march will commence at 10am on Anzac Day outside the Commonwealth Bank in town central, finishing with the morning service at Anzac Place adjacent to the Emerald RSL. Throughout the day the RSL has also organised many events. The Dawn Service at 5.30am will again be synchronised with a salute from Puffing Billy
and Peter said he also hopes to organise a flyover form the Air Force Roulettes during the march after the salute at Cockatoo RSL. Everyone in Emerald is encouraged to march or at least line the Main Road in support. Any groups interested in joining the march can obtain a placard by contacting Peter Maloney on 0439 112 204.
Gembrook RSL will hold a dawn service at 6am at the cenotaph, followed by a gunfire breakfast and a march will begin at 10.45am. Upwey-Belgrave RSL will hold a dawn service from 6am in Upwey. A march will begin at 9.45am from Main Street followed by a 10am service. The Cockatoo RSL will hold a dawn service from 5:45am at the RSL clubrooms, followed by a gunfire breakfast. A main service will start at 10.00am.

Filling the learning gap 2017 saw the start of the Junior High School program at Cire Community School's Yarra Junction campus, taking the school from a senior secondary to a Year 7 to 12 school. The initiative has provided a missing link for the community and an important alternative program for students in the Yarra Ranges and beyond. Young people from Healesville, Chirnside Park, Lilydale, Emerald and Cockatoo now also have access to a complimentary bus service which links these communities to our Yarra Junction campus. The Cire Junior High School program has grown out of the school's successful existing VCAL program, with a strong emphasis on hands-on and applied learning.
The school provides students access to a flexible and supportive program that aims to fill student learning gaps, support individual needs, maintain school engagement and build a sense of community. Opportunities for young people to interact with their community and to take their learning outside of the classroom each week are important elements of the junior school program. The school has established a strong link with Yarra Valley ECOSS which has provided many opportunities for the development and refinement of applied learning activities. Year 7-9 students have engaged in a range of projects at ECOSS including es-
Cire Community School students Bridgette and Deanna.
tablishing a "frog bog", planting new vegetation, building rammed earth structures and experimenting with the construction of straw bale walls. Cire Community School's Year 9 program is developing and expanding in 2018 and is now operating from a renovated classroom in the old church at the Yarra Junction campus. The school has created a dedicated learning space and given ownership of the space to the Year 9 students. There is a big focus on cooking and applied learning in
the program, with the students currently running a canteen for the school from the registered kitchen. This year Cire is also partnering with a local vineyard to provide students with an opportunity to work towards attaining a Certificate I in Conservation and Land Management.

COMMUNITY HOUSE GUIDE
Caring flexible respite Since opening in 2005, Fernlea has supported hundreds of families to keep their loved ones at home and independent as long as possible when they become unwell. In fact, over that time, Fernlea has helped to enhance the quality of life for more than 800 families dealing with a life-limiting illness. So what makes Fernlea different? They are local, with strong connections and a commitment to that local community. Their services are holistic, person-centred and complement clinical palliative care. They work in partnership with and support the carer because they recognise the pressures that carers can face. Fernlea can provide a range of services to help when they're needed most. Fernlea has two-day respite centres in Emerald and Berwick where clients - who are called guests - can come for the day while giving their carer a break. Fernlea only takes a small number of guests each day, so they are able to provide the most attentive care and build meaningful and supportive relationships with the people they care for. Both centres provide a cosy, home-like environment where guests enjoy a chef-cooked morning tea and lunch, complementary therapies including Reiki and massage, time for social interaction, relaxation and tailored activities matched to abilities and interests (including excursions). Fernlea also offers an in-home care service, provided by qualified nursing and personal care staff in individual's homes, tailored to their care needs. Some of the services they can provide include medications management, wound care, showering, feeding and meal preparation, pal-

Through education and training, the Mountain District Learning Centre's (MDLC) Reconnect program is helping individuals attain and retain a job. As MDLC Manager Janet Claringbold explained, the program assists individuals in acquiring the skills needed to give them the best chance of filling job vacancies. "The findings from the Anglicare "Snapshot" survey in 2016 show that only 13 percent of all advertised jobs were at the entry level (which assumes year 10 education or equivalent)," Janet said. "The survey states that in a single month in that year there were 138,044 people registered as disadvantaged job seekers, in a total of 732,000 people unemployed. That is about six people in need of an entry-level job for every job advertised. "This information shows that additional education and training provide an advantage when trying to secure a job. It is important that people have the skills that employers are looking for in the jobs that are available now. "It is helpful to know which industries have skill shortages, so you can give yourself the best chance to be ready to fill the vacancies that are advertised." MDLC understand that it can be difficult to take up education or training once individuals have moved on from school. "For people who find themselves outside of employment and training the barriers to getting back into education through TAFE or at an RTO can be significant. It's easy to lose confidence in your ability to learn new skills," Janet said. "Some people have tried to undertake a course but have found it too difficult and are reluctant to try again.

ENTERTAINMENT
Straight from the harp By Derek Schlennstedt Cath Connelly, Anke Arkensteyn and Carla Whitley are skilled harpists who have focused on the art of therapeutic harp to bring peace to people who are in palliative care. Through harp therapy, they support patients physically, spiritually and emotionally to bring them to a more peaceful and calm state. Now, along with international harpist and director of the International Harp Therapy Program, Christina Tourin, they will bring their music and the soothing melody of the harp to the Tecoma Uniting Church on 28 April, for a special one-off performance. For the performance, Ms Tourin will be presenting an evening of harp music and information about the healing qualities of the harp. Ms Tourin will of course be accompanied by local hills harpers Cath Connelly, Anke Arkensteyn and Carla Whitley, who are also international players and have toured overseas. The performance, they said, while including aspects of what harp therapy, is will also include a range of genres, solos and also different instruments. "There'll be a variety, there's going to be solos, some duos playing too, and a combination of instruments because Carla has her flute ... there'll be Celtic and classical," Ms Connelly said. "Christina will talk a little bit about the effect of the harp as well," Ms Whitley said. That effect is of course the distinct and soothing sound that the harp produces, a sound which both Anke, Cath, Carla and Christine know can bring solace to those who are sick or in palliative care. Rather than prescribing drugs, harp therapy prescribes music to calm the soul and the person.
From left, Cath Connelly, Anke Arkesteyn and Carla Whiteley will play with Christina Tourin at the Tecoma Uniting Church. 179697 Often, the soothing instrument can help change an individual's state of mind if they are agitated or anxious, and for someone breathing heavily that difference is certainly noticed by the harpist who often sits by their bedside. "If you're playing with someone who is sick, the sound won't cure but it brings healing, brings an inner balance into that person's life, and a comfort and a calm, Ms Whitley said. "I've had situations where I've had people who are very restless and I just listen to
them, their sound and by reflecting that from the music I play they've been able to calm down."One person who I play for at the moment is on oxygen, and I can hear the oxygen machine settling down ... she's says to me it's the only thing that calms her down." While sometimes all that it needed for the harpist to calm an individual is to play a few notes in rhythm with their breathing, the performance will certainly show off their complete repertoire of the years of experience
Stalin: We will bury you
Orchid and the Crow’s Daniel Tobias reflects on his real life (and almost death) experience, which despite its macabre topic is comedy gold.
The Death of Stalin Starring Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale and Jeffrey Tambor Rated MA15+
A nutshell of Jewish-atheism and cancer By Derek Schlennstedt Daniel Tobias grew up in a Jewish-atheist household. In 2004, he found out he had stage-four testicular cancer and went searching for God. Any God. Enter Lance Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour de France and legendary cancer survivor. Reflecting on Daniel's real life experiences, The Orchid and The Crow is a solo performance: part storytelling, part cabaret, part theatre, featuring original songs from the award-winning writers of Die Roten Punkte. Segueing between rock, pop, and contemporary opera, Daniel effortlessly draws the mailcommunity.com.au
they've spent playing the harp. "At the concert, we're going to have a lovely big repertoire and show-off the harp," Ms Connelly said. The concert will take place at the Tecoma Uniting Church on 28 April at 7.30pm. Tickets are $20, $15 for concession, and supper will be served at the conclusion of the evening, with time for questions. For further information, email Carla at: whitcarand@gmail.com
audience into the inspiring tale of his almostdeath experience, and despite it's macabre topic, manages to keep them in hysterics. "In 2004 I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and I had to go through treatment so I was looking for some kind of way to get through it and someone handed me Lance Armstrong's book ... it wasn't about the bike," he joked. "So it started off me writing a show about my experience with cancer but it really became a show about faith, because without his book I don't know how I would've gotten through it." The tragicomedy aptly called the Orchid and the Crow — named after the Greek name for testicle, because of the shape of the orchid plant's bulb, and the symbol of death
in many cultures — picks like a magpie from every musical genre with Daniel performing a range of hilarious original songs. "There's I think seven original songs in there, and some of it is like 90s indie rock, there's also more cabaret theatre style songs some mellow acoustic and even an aria in Italian," he said. "My aim was to create a show that was a really fun night out, the last thing I would want to do, is sit in a dark room and listen to a really sad story." Orchid and the Crow will play at Burrinja on 27 April at 8pm, the Warburton Arts Centre on 28 April at 7:30pm, and Montrose Town Centre at 8pm.
The Death of Stalin is a darkly hilarious historical comedy-drama directed by master satirist Armando Iannucci. After Joseph Stalin (Adrian McLoughlin), the Supreme Leader of the Soviet Union, dies in 1953, his Politburo advisors scramble for power and influence in the new era, with the cunning Khruschchev (Steve Buscemi) and ruthless Beria (Simon Russell Beale) locking horns over control of the USSR. Iannucci has a gift for crafting dry laughout-loud humour around despicable people, usually in a governmental setting; he's arguably most famous for creating The Thick of It, a searing satire of British politics. For impact and brevity, The Death of Stalin fictionalises certain elements of the aftermath of Stalin's death, but the film really lays bare the self-deception, scheming and rampant ego in Soviet politics, while still being incredibly funny. The film is full of witty dialogue and largerthan-life performances, and the frequent humour is integrated organically into the plot. Khrushchev's plans progress in a compelling steady build, and the film maintains heavy tension both through nominal Premier Malenkov's (Jeffrey Tambor) vain incompetence and Beria's more sinister presence, especially with the latter having overseen Stalin's massive political purges. Confronting and funny in equal measure, The Death of Stalin is a brilliantly-written satire of political sadism.

SPORT
Anzac Day Footy By Kath Gannaway AFL Yarra Ranges action is set to kick off this weekend, with a host of matches to re-ignite old rivalries. Within the Dandenong Ranges, Belgrave will take on crosstown rivals Upwey-Tecoma in what should be a hard-fought match. While last year's premiers Olinda Ferny Creek will take on rival Monbulk. Meanwhile, the first round will take on an Anzac Day flavour, with plenty of activities planned when it comes to local football action. The Warburton-Millgrove vs Healesville Anzac Day match will be held at Yarra Junction on Wednesday, 25 April. The tradition will be celebrated throughout many local clubs, including AFL Yarra Ranges' clubs, Healesville and Warburton Australian Rules had been played at Healesville for around 30 years when Australia's first soldiers headed overseas to fight in WWI. With the Warburton Football Club starting up in 1906 and Millgrove in 1908, football was already part and parcel of community life in the Yarra Valley, and as in the VFL in Melbourne at the time, the exodus of fit, young men, had an impact. For the past 10 years, football has been part of the Anzac tradition in Yarra Valley with traditional rivals Healesville and WarburtonMillgrove players lining up to hear their local RSL representatives recite The Ode before they take to the ground to play for the honour of winning the Anzac Shield. Presidents of both clubs, Greg Hay at Healesville, and Rod Barnard at WarburtonMillgrove, leave no doubt that the relevance and reverence of the Anzac Day match is embraced by the clubs.
Club presidents Rod Barnard and Greg Hay with the Anzac Day perpetual shield. 179711 Picture: Rob Carew. Greg Hay said the match had become an unshakeable tradition - played always on the day - 25 April. "Our thought when it started nearly 10 years ago was that it was a great way to have two clubs that have longstanding histories of playing against each other honour the people who served for us," he said. "Personally, I think it's the most special day of the year, and not just in football, and I have no doubt that it is very special for the boys as well. They all want to play on that day." The Australian War Memorial records that the AFL considered suspending the season due to the onset of WW1, but the game went ahead and the season commenced on 24 April, 1915 - an ominous date as it turned out. Australians imported Aussie Rules to the battlefields as a means of escape and recreation. Lieutenant L.G. Short in a letter home in
1917 recalled the true nature of footy on the Front saying the playing field was within shell range. "Every inch of it has been won from the enemy by the hardest fighting, of which evidence lay all around," he wrote. " ... but it is certain that the game had given them fresh heart," he concluded, reflecting also that it had carried their thoughts back to the happy days of football back home. "And, it is in such happy thoughts and memories that we soldiers live," he wrote. Rod Barnard said Anzac Day for WarburtonMillgrove starts early with most of the club attending the Dawn Service in Millgrove. "That sets the tone for the day," he said. "It's an important match when we look at what the diggers went through, and it's also about supporting the RSLs. "There is always a good feeling around the club and between the two clubs. We have a good rapport, good respect for each other and that makes a big difference." He said there are a number of families around the area who have had family members serve, including his. His son Ben was in the army for nine years, including time in Iraq. "Now it's our chance to make sure this legacy lives on," he said. On the ground, spectators can expect a hard-fought game. "It's usually a fantastic battle between these two teams, and we're had wins and losses over time," he said. "It's an important clash and it brings out the best in everybody - players, supporters and the officials." The Warburton-Millgrove vs Healesville Anzac Day match will be held at Yarra Junction on Wednesday, 25 April.
Anyone for table tennis? No doubt the most active class, and the largest, table tennis remains one of the more popular activities offered by Emerald U3A. With players aged from 50 to 85, and meeting twice weekly at Cockatoo, it is just one of the many U3A classes operating in various venues around town. Emerald U3A is on the move, with its former home, Emerald's old fire station, being demolished and the Emerald Hub built. Thanks to goodwill and understanding, classes like painting, Italian, yoga, scrabble, patchwork, Australian History, to name a few, are enjoying the hospitality of St Joseph's Church Hall, the Evergreens. The table tennis group started in 2009 with only three people, playing on make-do tables at Gemco once a week. With increased interest and support from Cardinia Shire, it has grown to more than 30 and now meets twice a week. So, are you aged 50-plus, retired or semiretired and want to keep your brain and body active and develop new social networks? Do you have skills and experience you could share with others? Then come and join U3A Emerald. Volunteer tutors and course leaders offer a variety of programs, both physically and mentally stimulating, and there is bound to be something that sparks your interest.

Monbulk junior football results What a wet, wintery start to the footy season for the Monbulk Junior Football Club. Weather couldn't dampen any spirits with all teams playing with heart. Welcome to all new players and welcome back to the great game that is football! Under 9s A brilliant effort by all in tough conditions. Players were first to the ball in most contests and delivered it well to their team mates. First game demonstrated a strong group who will have a great year ahead. Extremely proud of all players today. A.Gray R Koelewyn A Sproat J Allder E Dawson Under 10s Great to be back watching these guys run around again. We have a good mixture of younger and second year players this year who mailcommunity.com.au
should all be taller and stronger than last year. Tough wet conditions saw a scrappy start to the season, overall our effort was solid in moving up and holding position. Looking forward to good things from the group this year. E.Knight. H.Brooks L.Hickingbotham R.Broadbent C.Seamer Under 11s The under 11s game was played in almost cyclonic conditions. Howling winds and pouring rain didn't dampen the spirit and effort of the players. Although we lost, everyone showed the spirit of the Monbulk Hawks. T.Higgins. C.Hooper. O.Blandthorn K.Sutton D.English Under 12s Wet and miserable conditions - meaning skill level was compromised, however our boys
appeared to relish the tough conditions in the latter part of the game. After a slow start the boys finished with plenty of heart to come out victors. T.Kostich-Angerson. L.MacDonald. T.Gethin-Davies. J.Defina. O.Huidobro Under 14 Blue The boys have had a terrific Pre-Season and it showed from the very first bounce. The structure that was established was adhered to throughout the game which showed terrific concentration. A Great Start. N.Taylor M.Rouget H.Strathairn C.McLean Under 14 Girls Our defensive tackling pressure was impressive as a group today. With new girls joining our squad from last year, to see them work hard for each other throughout the game was
pleasing. Once the group have the confidence and anticipate when to transfer and where to transfer the ball we will become an even stronger group to contend with. Well done today. I.Linde R.Kelly. J.Farmer J.Woodgate Under 16s The boys were good today in the wet conditions. They worked hard, followed instruction and were positive all day. Well done on a great effort. T.Taylor L.Beecroft. S.Farmer W.Fahey H.Fleming Under 18 Girls Great First Game. The girls gave a fantastic effort. Our first game players fitted in very well. We will work on our positioning ready for the next game. 1.

Members eye success The Lilydale Project reference group began meeting this year to influence and support the development of a long term township master plan for Lilydale. The plan will co-ordinate Council and community activities and focus on advocacy, infrastructure and attracting investment over the next 20 or more years. The group is made up of 24 community members and Council Officers who meet once a month. This approach was inspired by the success of the Yarra Glen People's Panel and their achievements. Potential members were selected through a random mail out to more than 800 Lilydale residents from the electoral role, inviting them to express interest in joining. The final group was selected by an independent panel based on a representative sample including age, gender, volunteer history and connection to Lilydale. Made up of a broad cross section of the Lilydale community, the group includes enthusiastic young people, wise elders, business owners, volunteers and people with disabilities. Director of Social and Economic Development Ali Wastie said Council recognised that ensuring Lilydale's potential was fulfilled as the gateway to the Yarra Valley would benefit the entire municipality. "The Lilydale Project Reference Group is a great way to harness this energy and to highlight opportunities for change in response to the community's expressed needs," Ms Wastie said. "Lilydale is under the State Government's spotlight given plans for the level crossing removal on the Maroondah Highway, Cave Hill quarry development, and investment in Box Hill Institute Lakeside Campus." Lilydale resident and architecture student Rebecca Andre said she joined the group to use her design skills to make Lilydale a better place to live for future generations. "It's been really good to get to know the others in the group. I'm working on developing some designs for the project," Ms Andre said.
The Lilydale Project reference group members (l-r): Steven Foggie, John Rodgers, Max Manning, Timothy Kaddis, Paula Baxter, Nigel Smith, Rebecca Andre and Helen Ruddell. 179866 "There has been scope for individuals to take up a portfolio and use their professional experience." So far the meetings have focused on the Lilydale Level Crossing Removal, affordable housing, Lilydale Quarry Redevelopment, community planning and discussion about the need for the Lilydale Bypass. Many people attended the Lilydale Summit in September last year to share their ideas. More than 80 per cent of attendees supported the following projects: New Olinda Creek pathways New pedestrian links and wayfinding Renewal of Lilydale Station precinct Castella Street upgrade
· · · ·
· New mixed-use medium density development pedestrian and civic spine from Melba · New Park to Lillydale Lake · Maroondah Highway and Main Street upgrade · New Market Square/Town Square More than 350 votes for projects were cast at the summit. Council is committed to getting further community feedback and refining the project ideas. Key themes emerging from more than 170 written comments were: respecting the character of Lilydale and its natural environment streetscape improvement
· · ·
· better connectivity for cars and people · more walking and street life for safety · Lilydale as a gateway to the Yarra Valley dual roles of Lilydale as convenience cen· the tre and major service centre new development comes with ad· ensuring equate parking views on the effectiveness of a Lily· differing dale bypass road The project reference group is discussing the progress of the capital works ideas in response to these themes from the summit.
