EDUCATION WEEK 20-26 MAY 2018

Steiner Education offers a wide array of educational experiences.

Love of learning the key The foremost aim of Steiner education is to instill in each student a love of learning, to encourage them to ask questions in order to develop their own ideas and to cultivate a healthy respect for themselves, others and the world in which they live.

Education Administrator at Little Yarra Steiner School John Stewart explained that there are over fifty Steiner Schools in Australia and over a thousand in sixty countries around the globe.

"Steiner schools work on giving each child the tools to develop themselves so that they will succeed at whatever they choose in life," Mr Stewart said.

"Students are offered a wide array of educational experiences in addition to academic subjects, such as outdoor education camps, singing and instrumental music, drama, hard and soft handcrafts, movement and art, to name a few.

"The breadth of Steiner education ensures a well-rounded, comprehensive skills and knowledge base."

Integral to the Steiner approach is recognising that each child develops and learns in their

own way and at their own pace.

"Also, each child learns for the joy of it, the excitement of unlocking the secrets of the world," Mr Stewart said.

"Steiner schools place a lot of emphasis on equipping children with a robust sense of self-worth, and each student knows that their teachers consider them a valued individual."

All children ideally keep the same teacher for their entire primary schooling, which builds a close bond between teacher and student. This bond and subsequent deep level of understanding of each child's strengths and challenges ensures that every child receives the educational support they need to achieve their personal best.

The Little Yarra Steiner School provides a highly regarded and effective program in the beautiful environment of the Yarra Valley. The school holds regular community celebrations and events, such as the annual Fair and Open day.

Interested parents are warmly encouraged to look up the school's web page, follow them on Facebook or call 5967 1953 to arrange a tour.

EDUCATION WEEK 20-26 MAY 2018

It’s simply a great school The release of Gonski 2 report has unleashed a large number of reports, commentary and opinions.

Critical responses point out that "Gonski fix puts basics at risk" (The Weekend Australian, May 5) with one describing the Gonski report as a "hidden danger" for education.

The reality is that staff in great schools are already managing these complexities and defining a balance that works for students.

There are three journeys through school that will position a child for success in their adult life.

The first is the development of personality and character; the definition of values, moral and ethical frameworks and boundaries.

These are the foundations of how we define ourselves as an individual.

This journey is heavily defined and influenced by parents, with the school, a positive and supportive influence.

The second journey is the traditional academic journey, where a strong knowledge base is developed with a special literacy and numeracy focus.

This knowledge-centred learning remains critically important despite the common argument that you can look anything up online.

Young people have access to unlimited online information and must use a knowledge base that remains in the early stages of development as a means of discernment and deci-

sion making, separating fact from fiction.

They need adult help.

The third journey through school is the development of the skills and attitudes commonly called General Capabilities. These cannot be taught, learned, developed, practised or refined in a content free zone.

The manner in which these skills are learned and exhibited differs, dependent upon the discipline in which they are practised.

Creativity practised in Science is different to that practised in Visual Arts. A strong and solid knowledge base remains an important component of school education.

The skills of the third journey are sometimes called the Four C's: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication.

They are called people skills or soft skills and the development of strong skills in these areas combined with the attributes from the other two journeys creates a person who thrives in the adult world.

Great teachers connect with students, building positive relationships; they explicitly and positively influence and shape students; they model good thinking skills and provoke student thinking. Great teachers position their students for success in their short and long term future.

Proud history of service Yarra Hills Secondary College is a multi-campus State Secondary School serving the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

The college has a Year 7 to 10 Mt Evelyn Campus, as well as a Mooroolbark Campus, which houses a Year 7 to 10 'Junior School' and a Year 11 and 12 'Senior School' on the same site.

Current enrolment is roughly 850 students and has been rising steadily in recent years, with the 2018 Year 7 intake being the largest since 2003.

College Principal Darren Trippett has overseen this growth since joining the school in 2012 and considers the college now 'transformational' school.

"One of the things I noticed most when I first arrived at Yarra Hills was the lack of knowledge in the local community of the excellent programs we had in place," he said.

"We are currently one of a select group of schools across Victoria to have been successfully selected in the Melbourne University U.M.N.O.S. program, involving internationally acclaimed Professor John Hattie.

"We have also recently been acknowledged nationally for implementing our school-wide 'restorative practices' model which helps students establish and maintain effective relationships and behaviour.

"In 2017 we were selected as a Lead School for Respectful Relationships across the outer east, assisting local primary schools with a variety of anti-bullying programs.

"We also have acclaimed co-curricular programs in instrumental music, performing arts, visual arts (including the Yarra Hills Commu-

Yarra Hills Secondary College aspire to be the school of choice for all children in the local community. nity Art Show), sports and outdoor education."

At Years 11 and 12, Yarra Hills proudly offers students the choice of a comprehensive VCE,

VET or VCAL (school-based apprenticeship) program, enabling all students to be able to choose their own preferred pathway and de-

velop their strengths and passions.

Tours of both campuses are now available and can be booked through the general offices.

EDUCATION WEEK 20-26 MAY 2018

Celebrating students Throughout Education Week, Cire Services celebrates the strengths and achievements of students who participate in government-funded programs.

Manager of Education and Training at Cire Services Anna-Louise Allen believes that by focussing on the role of education in providing a pathway to employment, students' chances of employment are much higher.

"Whether it is Structured Workplace Learning experience for VET (Vocational Education and Training) in the VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) and VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) students, a schoolbased new apprenticeship or a work placement as part of an accredited training program; the value of undertaking a placement in the workplace cannot be overstated," Ms Allen said.

Cire students Megan and Vicky are graduates from the Certificate III in Individual Support and were recently attending their final class.

The Certificate III in Individual Support is the required qualification for working in Aged Care and In Home Care.

Ms Allen explained that a trainer visits the students to observe them applying their skills and to conduct a final assessment.

"All students have been offered work once they complete their certificate," Ms Allen said.

"Two of the graduates are already working in the kitchen within an Aged Care facility, however, once they have obtained their

qualification, they will have the opportunity to move to the role of Personal Care Assistant (PCA) within the facility."

Megan and Vicky were both thrilled with their experience with Cire Services.

"Nicole is a great trainer and demonstrates what we need to do using the equipment," Megan said.

"Then it's our turn so we get to practice with her guidance."

Vicky also agreed.

"I never thought I would go back to school, but I am glad I did it. I am more confident now; even my spelling has improved," she said.

"I feel more confident and I don't want to stop learning. I want to get a job, but down the track I would like to do a Certificate IV in Aging Support."

MS vs Everest

By Derek Schlennstedt

At the age of 13, Bobby Bajram was the youngest person in Australia to be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Now with the help of Trees Adventure in Belgrave he is ready to tackle Mount Everest. yas ... all the courses at Trees Adventure really help with my balance, and the climbing wall helps with my strength and climbing techniques," he said.

Having already climbed Mount Kaala Patthar.and Mera Peak - two of the highest mountains in the world - Bobby is acutely aware of the risk and the risk of a relapse.

"These relapses are extremely painful and can vary from "from not being able to walk, to not being able to see, to half of my body being

paralysed," Bobby said.

When asked about his secret to dealing with the pain, his response was laughter.

"I don't take any medication; I just lock it in the back of my brain, and carry on with a smile."

Bobby will attempt the trek to the top of Mt Everest on 10 April, 2019.

Belgrave's Trees Adventure has become a training base for a bold bid to tackle Mt Everest.

Bobby Barjam, 51, is no ordinary adventure seeker, rather, he he is trying to achieve a goal he set 38 years ago after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Even though Bobby lives in near constant pain - not that you would ever know - he is intent on pushing his body to the limit, in order to inspire others.

Bobby said he was focused entirely on achieving this goal.

"When I was 13, I was diagnosed with MS, I was in the St Mary's ward St Vincent's Hospital ... I was, and am, the youngest person in Australia to be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis," Bobby said.

"At that time, my legs weren't working and my eyes went haywire on me, but I said to myself one day I'm going to climb to the top of the world and see the blue sky ... 38 years later I'm doing it."

Bound to a wheelchair, and partially blind at times, many might resign themselves to a quieter life.

Bobby is not that person.

Rather, his story is that of an ordinary man with an extraordinary outlook on life - to never give up hope.

"What I try to say to people is everybody has their own Everest's ... whether it's running a marathon or losing weight, and that's the whole point to why I'm doing it; I'm doing it to raise millions for people with MS and to say have a go and do your best," he said.

"It's very important for me to make an example of my disability and disadvantage and show that it doesn't stop me from doing things ... you can do whatever you want to do if you put your mind to it."

Bobby has certainly put his mind and body to the test and these days he has the fitness of an elite athlete.

That fitness is thanks to a brutal training regime, which sees him climbing the 1000 Steps 15 times in one go, or training 4-5 times a week at Fitness First and at the Trees Adventure Glen Harrow Park in Belgrave.

He said that training at Trees Adventure - Glen Harrow Park reflects the balance and strength required for the terrain of Everest.

"It's very similar to climbing in the Himala-

IN BRIEF

CFA spirit on show

By Derek Schlennstedt Upper Ferntree Gully CFA First Lieutenant, Darren Johnson, is one of few VIctorians selected as a finalist in the inaugural Spirit of CFA Awards.

The awards were created to recognise the outstanding dedication and extraordinary lengths CFA people go to in helping one another and the community.

That dedication has been recognised in Mr Johnson's innovative design on how fire blankets are stored in CFA fire trucks, which helps to protect his fellow volunteers.

He said the design was created after members from the station were caught in their truck during the 2009 bushfires,

They had to use the woolen blankets to protect themselves from the flames.

"What I was nominated for was a blanket retention and deployment system," Mr Johnson said.

"The blankets in the truck are the fire-fighters' last line of defence if you get caught in a burn-over ... if you can't escape, you go back to the truck as the last point of refuge, and on the truck are curtains and a water spray system and the last line of defence is the big woolen blanket.

"We had three members caught in a burnover in 2009, and from the stories i heard they had difficulties in getting the blankets out ... I came up with a system of attaching them easily with an easy release mechanism.

"They're stored behind the back seats in the cabin and not readily accessible especially for the front seat crew.

"There's five in a tanker, and the guys in the back can reach their blankets but the guys in the front are relying on the guys in the back to give them a blanket ... the system I've done is put them in the front of the truck above their heads, too."

The Spirit of CFA awards recognise outstanding achievements and contributions made by CFA staff and volunteers to CFA, local communities and Victoria.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can contact the Upper Ferntree Gully CFA on 0438 330 361.

Winter warning, after fire engulfs home

By Derek Schlennstedt As the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, residents in the Yarra Ranges will begin to turn on the heaters and start their fireplaces.

Mount Evelyn CFA is reminding residents to take the necessary precautions to mitigate the chances of a house fire.

After a house fire in Mount Evelyn on 28 April, Mount Evelyn CFA Captain, Rick Ventrella, said though investigations have not identified the cause of the fire, it still acted as a timely reminder for residents to check their heating systems and clean out the fire place or flue.

"This week it will be getting colder, people will start the heater or fire, but the important question is have they done their pre-checks," Captain Ventrella said.

"People need to think about whether the Coonara or chimney have been cleaned and cleaned properly, even the ducting heating should be cleaned ... over summer we get a lot of wind and dust stirs up so we get a lot of things inside your ducting which could cause fires.

"The bars on heaters, and drying clothes to close to them can cause fires ... it's just about being a little mindful and careful."

The house fire that occurred on Marcus Street in Mount Evelyn was sadly a sign of things to come, according Mr Ventrella, who said that over winter there was usually a spike in house fires.

"We will probably go to a chimney fire at some stage this year, as we average one or two over the winter," he said.

House fires aren't the only call-outs that see an increase over winter, with car accidents also

making up a large percentage of the jobs they attend.

Mr Ventrella said that while it was important for residents to prepare their heaters and fire places for winter, so, too, was it important for residents to make sure their cars were roadworthy.

"As we come into the winter months we talk about all the precautions we take with our heaters and blankets, but it's also a timely reminder that as winter approaches and weather conditions change, so too do the road conditions change," he said.

"Check your tires, and drive to the conditions ... we've had a very dry summer and April so the roads will get slippery quite quickly.

"Drive within your means and within the conditions of the road because when the rain comes the roads will get very slippery."

Theft of motor car and possession of ice About 6.40pm on 9 April, Olinda Police responded to a call for a car that had gone down the embankment in Upper Coonara Rd, Olinda.

When Olinda Police checked the vehicle, they established the driver had left the scene and the car was identified as a Jeep which had been stolen from Cranbourne and also had false plates attached.

The female driver had been seen earlier driving off the road and had been assisted by a local resident after the accident.

The vehicle was recovered and towed to Bayswater, though while the tow truck driver was driving down Mountain Highway he noticed he was being followed.

As a result, the driver has stopped and been approached by the female driver of the Jeep and two males.

He proceeded to call police and all three individuals were arrested and conveyed back to Boronia Police Station and interviewed.

The female driver, a 22-year-old from Rowville, was charged with theft of motor car, fraudulent use of license plates, disqualified driving, careless driving, and possession of the drug ice.

The female was bailed to the Ringwood Magistrates Court.

Police would like to hear from anyone who saw a red Jeep driving erratically on the evening of 9 April in the Kallista area.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Olinda Police station on (03) 9751 1241.

Car crash spurs warning After a car crash in Sassafras, Olinda Police Sergeant, Andrew Herdman, is urging drivers to slow down and drive to the conditions.

On 5 April, Olinda police responded to a car which had gone off the road on Mt Dandenong Tourist Road.

A 19-year-old female from Mooroolbark was travelling south on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road towards Sassafras with a male friend.

The driver has lost control around a lefthand bend opposite the Rostrevor house and skidded over an embankment opposite the primary school.

The female driver was still in the vehicle when emergency services arrived and was assisted by CFA members and checked by the ambulance, but was uninjured.

The vehicle was lifted back onto the road and towed away.

Sgt Andrew Herdman at Olinda Police station said the incident was a reminder for drivers to "take extra care with the onset of winter, and to always drive to the conditions".

Theft from vehicles

A house fire in Mount Evelyn, on 28 April, completely enveloped the two storey house and has the CFA reminding residents to check their heaters and fire places.

We are getting it done Recently, we handed down our fourth budget and it was a big one for our community.

There was funding for the Belgrave Train Station Car Park and for Stage 2 of the Olinda Precinct upgrade but particularly close to my heart was the biggest boost in school funding in our community’s history.

There was $50 million across the Yarra Ranges to upgrade six secondary schools.

This is an unprecedented investment in our community.

Lilydale High School, Lilydale Heights College, Upper Yarra Secondary College, Monbulk College, Upwey College and Mooroolbark College all received substantial funding for signifi-

cant upgrades.

Three of these schools took part in the Lilydale and Upper Yarra Education Plan and worked together with each project reflecting their community’s priorities.

The record school infrastructure invest-

ment across the Yarra Ranges also includes upgrades at Montrose Primary School, Don Valley Primary School, Hoddles Creek Primary School, Launching Place Primary School, and deliver a new campus of The Alpine School at Don Valley.

This is part of the biggest school funding boost in our state’s history.

Never before has a state government put the emphasis on education that we have.

Many people ask me why we are funding education to the level that we are.

The answer is very simple.

Because nothing is more important than our kids’ future.

Creek probe ‘needed’ Member for Eastern Metropolitan Region, Samantha Dunn is calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to assist in a citizen-lead investigation into the Dandenong Creek.

The creek, which has its headwaters near Olinda within the Dandenong Ranges National Park, feeds into wetlands and supports numerous aquatic and avian species.

Ms Dunn said First Friends of Dandenong Creek have become so concerned about ongoing pollution events they are using people power to trace the source.

“Six of these events have been identified so far this year and they’re increasing in frequency,” she said.

“It’s infuriating that the citizens of Bayswater and surrounds are left to investigate illegal dumping of chemicals, when we have a government agency whose main purpose is to do exactly this.”

Bank says thanks to graffiti police

By Derek Schlennstedt The Upwey Community Bank branch has spoken out after a wave of graffiti on buildings in the Upwey-Tecoma and Belgrave area over the Easter weekend.

During the Easter weekend, 200 tags were removed from around these towns.

John Waters, Chairman of the Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group, has thanked Belgrave Police in allegedly identifying the responsible people.

"We would like to thank Belgrave Police for their efforts in finding those responsible," Mr Waters said.

"It is only when people are held accountable for their actions that they can then realise the impact they have had.

"It is hoped that the more people apprehended for wilful public defacement and charged for these offences, the less this will be an issue in our society."

That issue is recurrent in Upwey.

The Upwey Community Bank supports a local, husband and wife duo, who come each weekend to remove graffiti from the township.

Mr Waters said it was extremely disappointing to find the amount of graffiti around the Upwey township after the Easter weekend.

He said it costs business and the community to remove it.

"We sponsor a graffiti clean-up car; we pay for that and a husband and wife do it every weekend," Mr Waters said.

"They come through every week and do a fantastic job ... they cleaned up most of the

Flu jabs set for children Knox Council is this month running dedicated free flu sessions for children for the benefit of the wider community.

Children receiving the flu vaccine for the first time require two doses, with at least one month in between.

Parents of young children aged between six months and less than five years are being encouraged to take advantage of the program, which is on offer through Knox City Council Immunisation Services.

"Last year's flu season was particularly severe and, in partnership with the State Government, we're expanding our immunisation program to provide our community, including our newest and most vulnerable citizens, with access to the latest flu vaccine," Mayor John Mortimore said.

The free flu sessions are by appointment only.

"There is significant cost to businesses when they must spend money cleaning up after these events."

"In the bank's case, it reduces the amount of money available to give to community groups through its sponsorship programs.

"For other businesses, big and small, it will

affect their bottom-line and potentially their viability."

Sergeant Paul Phillips at Belgrave Police said the consequences for graffiti offenders were serious.

"We treat it quite seriously ... graffiti is a criminal offence and offenders caught doing it will be charged and sent to court,," he said.

Get knocking The Salvation Army is calling on Yarra Ranges' community groups, sporting clubs, workplaces, families and individuals to get involved in its annual Red Shield Appeal doorknock.

Over the weekend of 26-27 May, the goal is to raise more than $7.5 million.

Captain Ashley Proctor, of the Salvation Army Mooroolbark, said the Salvos are aiming to gain 70,000 volunteers nationally.

"Volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do.

They are our largest workforce, which enables the continued success and improvement of our vital social programs," he said.

"These programs include emergency housing for people in crisis, drug and alcohol re-

habs, financial counselling services, as well as a host of social programs.

"We all have the opportunity to be beacons of hope for others."

Captain Proctor said every donation to the Red Shield Appeal can make a meaningful difference.

To volunteer for this year's appeal, please call 13 72 58 or register at salvos.org.au.

LETTERS Billy juggernaut tough to stop Recently, I attended a public consultation session regarding the proposed Puffing Billy Discovery Centre at Emerald Lake Park.

I came away feeling that the Puffing Bill Society have won, again!

Cardinia Shire proposes to "donate" the car park on the eastern side of the park near the Lakeside Station to this development.

The 60 car parking spaces, two motor bike spaces and a long bus parking bay will be reduced to five in this area, presumably for use by Puffing Billy staff.

New parking areas will be developed well up into the bush on the terraced areas where the caravan park used to be many years ago - a fair walk for older visitors down a steep hill.

The proposed centre is a very long zig-zag structure across the whole of the area and taking in the only shelter on that side of the railway line.

It will incorporate a train viewing area (with only one or two trains a day past this point to

Gembrook it will incorporate a train viewing area (with only one or two trains a day past this point to Gembrook it should be a long wait between viewings), a new caf run by the society (what happens to the existing caf operators?) and a museum display of railway type exhibits.

Do we really need another museum when a very good one exists within walking distance and the proceeds of this year's train race is going towards development of the Menzies Creek Train Museum as well?

As far as I know, the main reason for people to come to the Puffing Billy is to ride through the beautiful eastern Dandenongs on a steam train, not for all this peripheral stuff.

I also have concerns about the probable increase in bus traffic by poorly qualified overseas drivers on the Emerald Lake Road which also concerns residents on that road.

I know, as a walker I have had to jump off the road on more than one occasion or be run down!

The society has already taken over the Emerald Water Board offices in Kings Road and the old police station in Kilvington Drive recently, both

as their offices.

Now the council are going to give even more to this private organisation by allowing development in our park.

I know that this letter will not do a scrap of good; the whole project is 'a fait acccompli', but I am not the only one with concerns about it.

Carl Stemp, Emerald

Victoria should be reducing fluoridation of water supplies, not increasing it.

Roads mission

By Derek Schlennstedt The Cockatoo 21st Century Roads Action Group (CRAG21) has taken on the task of addressing what they say is 49.3kms of unsealed roads in and around the township Cockatoo.

They have called on Cardinia Shire to address this problem, stating that it has been 12 years since an unsealed road in Cockatoo was constructed and sealed.

Due to the ongoing issues, a group of concerned residents have formed the Cockatoo 21st Century Roads Action Group known as CRAG21.

"The residents of Cockatoo have for too

long endured the poor conditions of unsealed roads, inadequate or non-existent drainage and few footpaths," spokesperson Colin Wales said.

In 2016, a council-sponsored impact study showed that roads were the top concern for local residents.

A recent survey of Cockatoo locals conducted by CRAG21 indicated that 89 per cent of the respondents were dissatisfied with the condition of the town's unsealed roads.

CRAG21 believes a plan to construct priority roads in Cockatoo is urgently needed.

"The Cardinia Shire Council is unable to fund the basic infrastructure required; there-

fore, we believe it is time for the council to seek state government assistance to address the situation," Mr Wales said.

"Dust and badly maintained roads are a powerful deterrent to many residents, who wish to walk, cycle and play in their local neighbourhood.

"Vehicle damage and undue tyre wear are other aspects of the undesirable and unsustainable situation."

The group is holding a public meeting at 7.15pm on Tuesday 15 May at the Allan Bailey Hall (Scout Hall) in Cockatoo, where attendees will be able to vote for options relating to road improvements.

Net gain for platypus

By Derek Schlennstedt Australia's most unusual mammal, the platypus has received protection from killer opera house nets, which ensnare large numbers of platypus each year.

The Andrews Labor Government announced that from 1 July 2019, opera house nets will be banned in all public and private waters throughout Victoria, with reforms that will benefit native animals that live in and around waterways including platypus and turtles.

Minister for Agriculture Jaala Pulford said opera house nets in Victoria will be phased out with new open top lift nets now more readily available to replace them.

"Opera house nets have been placing our platypus populations at risk and so it's time for us to embrace different fishing gear that will catch just as many yabbies without impacting our precious wildlife," Ms Pulford said.

Up until now, many fishers purchased opera house nets to target yabbies unaware they couldn't be used in public waters in Victoria.

The nets trap and prevent air breathing animals, like platypus, from escaping.

In January a platypus drowned after it became trapped in an opera house net in the Wandin-Yallock Creek and was found by a local boy near the Seville Recreation Reserve.

The change to open top lift nets can be used in both public and private waters and are proven to be effective yabby catchers.

As part of the changes, a one-for-one tradein is planned, whereby fishers can trade in their old opera house nets for free 'wildlife friendly' open top lift nets.

Trials have indicated that wildlife friendly gear such as open top lift nets and hoop nets can actually catch more yabbies than opera

house nets when fished actively.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority will work with the fishing tackle sector, anglers and environmental groups on an awareness campaign around 'wildlife friendly' yabby gear leading up to 1 July next year.

It is currently illegal to use opera house nets in, on or near Victorian public waters, and DELWP is working with several authorities to extend this ban to all waterways in Victoria.

Under the Wildlife Act 1975 there are various penalties associated with taking or being in possession of protected wildlife or using prohibited equipment which is up to a maximum of $38,0562, and/or 24 months imprisonment.

For more information about the change to open top lift nets visit www.vfa.vic.gov.au/yabbyfishing.

Monbulk MP James Merlino has confirmed new facilities will be built at the Olinda Precinct as part of a major $2.95 million upgrade to the former Olinda Golf Course.

Included in the Victorian Budget 2018-19, the funds secure the next stage of the Olinda Precinct, so it can continue to be transformed into public parkland.

This will further progress the 34ha of community parkland including: lighting for the sports oval, walking trails, picnic facilities and upgraded entry and car parking.

Mr Merlino said the project is a once-in-ageneration opportunity.

"This transformation of the former golf course will deliver benefits for both active and passive recreation, right across the 34 hectares of parkland. It is truly exciting," he said.

"The Olinda Ferny Creek Football Netball Club have been crying out for an additional netball court and lights on the new oval, so they can cater for junior demand.

"This funding will make a real difference for local netballers, cricketers, footballers and the community, who will be able to better use the facility."

As part of the funding, $850,000 will provide an additional netball court, new cricket nets and other upgrades.

Each year, Shitbox Rally raises more than $1 million for Cancer Council research.

This year, the teams are hoping to break last year's record of $1.67 million and they're well on their way with more than $1.4 million already generated.

While the organiser, James Freeman (who lost his mother and father to cancer in quick succession), is thrilled that the rally has raised millions of dollars, it's the evident human spirit that impresses him, he said.

"Shitbox Rally exudes a strong message that

we're fighting for them, too."

No-one can quite comprehend the personal battle a cancer-sufferer goes through - physically, emotionally and spiritually.

But, for the past nine years, James has chosen to fight, along with thousands of other people who have been affected by this disease.

Yarra Ranges' adventurers are doing their bit to fight cancer with teams from Toolangi to Menzies Creek - and places in between - taking part in the 2018 Shitbox Rally.

The Rally will see more than 550 participants driving from Brisbane to Darwin from 19 to 25 May to raise money for the Cancer Council With an impressive $1.4 million raised so far, the goal is $1.7 million.

Shitbox Rally is a seven-day battle that's equally physical and emotional, with drivers tackling 3800 bone-jarring kilometres across some of Australia's most unforgiving roads ... in cars (aka shitboxes), which must be valued at $1000 or less.

Some make it; some don't.

Paul Van De Ven and Bradley Van De Ven, 'BradanDad', from Toolangi are back for a second rally in their 2000 AU Falcon Wagon. The pair took to the outback last year in memory of Healesville identity and friend Bryce Crow who died from cancer in 2014 .

Waltz along to the music It's time to celebrate waltz music from the classical to the modern European era.

Dandenong Ranges Orchestra will perform famous waltzes from Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Johann Strauss Jr, among others, in Valse.

Orchestra music librarian Anne Elizabeth sources the music for the 35 piece orchestra, made up of Yarra Ranges locals with some musicians coming as far as Burwood, Glen Waverley and Croydon.

"Valse is the European term for waltz and it's quite a popular and classical European

genre of music," Ms Elizabeth said.

"We perform an average of four concerts per year with a Christmas concert each December.

"After the retirement of our previous conductor who led the orchestra as a hobby, we needed to find funding to pay a professional conductor to lead the orchestra into the future.

"We were successful in being awarded a small grant from Yarra Ranges Council to make this happen."

Ms Elizabeth said the concert was dedicated to former actor David Greenaway, a leading

light in the community arts sector, who was instrumental in realising the Emerald Community Theatre rebuild.

The performance will take place at 7.30pm on Saturday 19 May at The Gem Community Arts Centre Emerald.

Their next concert at Tecoma Uniting Church on 24 August will feature Beethoven's Violin Concerto with a guest soloist who is a music teacher and former orchestra member.

Herd of Rhinos bringing grungy blues to the masses

By Kath Gannaway

Smoke Stack Rhino in action.

12388018-CG21-18

Smoke Stack Rhino are back at Herd Bar in Healesville on Saturday, 19 May, with the fourpiece line up set to deliver a great night of what lead vocals Ash King describes as "grungy blues".

With Ash on vocals and guitar, Jeremy Berg on drums, vocalist Dave Sirianni and bass player Shane Andison, the Herd is the perfect venue for the band's unique blend of blues rock.

The group formed in 2013 around the idea of 'bringing the blues to the moshpit', combining the emotion of Chicago/Delta blues with the raw audacity of early 90s grunge to deliver a performance that is a knock out on stage and powerful on record.

As a live audience experience the group has solidified its reputation as an audience favourite on the festival circuit including appearances at Arockalypse Music Festival, Icy Creek Music Festival, Bendigo Blues & Roots Festival and playing the official 2016 Mojo Burning Festival after-party.

The Herd gig comes as part of a solid start to 2018 with appearances at Waterfront Festival in Frankston and Bruthen Blues and Arts Festival in February, Red Energy Rock the Turf in Canberra in March, Cherry Bar in Melbourne in April, and the Meltdown Festival 2018 just gone.

Ash King says the band is looking forward to returning to Herd.

"We did a gig there last year and it was just really good fun," he said.

"People just like to go there and get loose, have a good time, which is why we wanted to play there again. We had such a great time."

For Ash, who has been on the music scene in the Yarra Valley for a while now, and as host of the open mic at Herd Bar every second week, it's familiar territory.

Hotel Sorrento

By Derek Schlennstedt Hannie Rayson's award-winning play will feature at Burrinja on May 25.

Hotel Sorrento tells the story of three sisters who grew up together in the seaside town, Sorrento.

Hilary lives in the family home with her father and 16 year-old son.

Pippa, a business woman, is visiting from New York and Meg, a successful writer, returns from England.

When the three sisters are reunited after 10 years apart they again feel the constraints of family life.

A semi-autobiographical book written by middle sister and expat Meg triggers the familial tensions and dramas that eventuate.

Hannie Rayson's well-loved Hotel Sorrento, which premiered onstage in 1991 and

was made into a feature film in 1995, explores some immediately identifiable terrain for many audiences.

It taps into the theme of Australian identity, and is a potent tale of family, loyalty, the importance of blood ties and collective memory - whether true or false.

Be drawn into 'Hotel Sorrento's 'enthralling story of a family in crisis, pulled together after a long period apart.

A mood of melancholy and strong sense of place engulf a family whose members are all forced into reassessing themselves, their past and their affections before facing an unknown future.

Ducks broken for clubs

By Cameron Hutchison Round 4 was played in cold damp conditions for footy and netball, with the sun breaking through on some occasions.

There were some teams that broke their duck for the season and some upsets along the way.

The winners in senior football: Woori Yallock, Warburton-Millgrove, Mount Evelyn, Olinda Ferny Creek, Wandin, Powelltown, Yarra Junction, Yarra Glen and Seville.

A Grade netball winners: Wandin, Olinda Ferny Creek, Monbulk, Belgrave, Woori Yallock, Yarra Junction, Yea, Powelltown and Yarra Glen.

For those who also have an interest in the reserves footy, the winners were: Woori Yallock, Monbulk, Belgrave, Upwey-Tecoma, Wandin, Kinglake, Thornton Eildon, Yarra Glen and Yea. Division 1 Seniors Football Woori Yallock 14.12.96 d Emerald 7.11.53 Woori Yallock share top spot with Olinda and Wandin but sit second on percentage after defeating Emerald. Woori Yallock put their stamp on the game in the first, kicking 5.2 to 5 behinds. Emerald outscored Woori in the second, kicking 2.3 to 1.3, but the margin at half time was 21 points and was going to be tough to claw back. Emerald could only manage one behind in the third and Woori Yallock were a bit wasteful kicking 2.5, but the margin had increased, and Woori had the game in their control. It was a goal feast in the last with 11 goals being kicked but it was all Woori Yallock at the end of the day.

Woori Yallock Best: K. Thompson (1 goal), L. Boontjes, M. Lowe, B. Monkhorst (6 goals), B. McDonald (4 goals), R. Monkhorst Emerald Best: P. White, J. Castricum (1 goal), J. Webb, B. Wood, S. Kelleher, R. Goonan Warburton-Millgrove 11.15.81 d Monbulk 6.13.49 Warburton-Millgrove have broken the duck and notched up their first win for the season at the expense of Monbulk. The first quarter was a low-scoring affair with only five points separating them at quarter time. Monbulk kicked 2.4 to 1.5 in the second to even everything up at half-time. Warburton kicked into gear in the third, with 4.3 to Monbulk's 1.1 to take a lead at the final change of 20 points. Monbulk struggled all day to have much impact on the scoreboard and could only kick 2.3 in the last to Warburton's 4.3 which gave the Burra's a much needed 4-points. Having not beaten Monbulk at Monbulk in 16 years, this was well and truly a great win by Warby!

Warburton Millgrove Best: T. Marr, M. Wappett (1 goal), N. Dodd, T. McKail, L. Spaulding, S. Harvey (2 goals) Monbulk Best: J. Major, C. Tibb (1 goal), N. McPherson, J. Rak, N. Sargent, S. Williams Mt Evelyn 25.11.161 d Belgrave 8.12.60 Mount Evelyn have dished out a 101-point loss to Belgrave and now sit fifth on the ladder by percentage while Belgrave sit 10th. The first quarter was tight and there wasn't that much in it on the scoreboard. Mount Evelyn had 7 scoring shots to 3 but the lead was only 14 points. Mount Evelyn picked it up in the second and kicked 8 goals straight to 2.5 to have a commanding lead of 45 points at half-time.

The third quarter tightened up, Mount Evelyn kicked 3.6 to Belgrave's 2.5, but Mount Evelyn never looked in trouble. The game blew open in the last with an impressive 9 goal to 1 last quarter to really seal the deal. Robbie Hartfield turned back the clock and was unstoppable up forward.

Mount Evelyn Best: R. Hartfield (11 goals), D. Matarazzo (4 goals), A. Chalkley, K. Vanbeek (3 goals), L. Inaps, L. Francis Belgrave Best: P. Gough, C. Power (1 goal), T. Stubley, M. Johnson (1 goal), L. Sproules, L. Toole (1 goal) Olinda Ferny Creek 13.13.91 d UpweyTecoma 7.11.53 Olinda Ferny Creek sit on top by percentage only and have pushed Upwey down to fourth, but only by percentage also. Olinda got off to the better start kicking 4.3 to 2.2 to go into the second with a 13-point lead. They held Upwey goalless in the second and kicked 3.3 themselves to take a lead of 27 points into half-time. The third quarter was kick for kick.

Emerald tried their hardest to stick with a tough Woori Yallock outfit. 180805 Even though Olinda had 8 scoring shots to 4, the margin had only increased to 31 points. It was going to be tough for Upwey to come back in the last as Olinda did what they had to do kicking 3.2 to 2.1 to get the points.

Olinda Ferny Creek Best: L. Hill (1 goal), D. Wilson (2 goals), M. Hottes (1 goal), C. Beattie, D. Troutman, S. Atkinson Upwey-Tecoma Best: W. Duncan, B. Oates, S. Waters (1 goal), L. Beacom (2 goals), S. Dawson, P. Broecker Wandin 20.21.141 d Healesville 10.9.69 Wandin are third on the ladder by percentage only after a convincing win by 72 points over sixth placed Healesville. Wandin started off well kicking 4.6 to 2.1 to take a lead of 17 points into the second quarter, but on their small ground that can be made up very quickly. The second quarter had both sides kicking 5 goals but Wandin were wasteful in front of goal kicking 9 behinds and as we all know if they had converted some of these it really would have shut the door. The third quarter saw Wandin kick 4.5 to 3 straight and their lead was 32 points at the last break. Healesville could not get anything going in the last as Wandin stormed away with 7.3 to just 5 behinds to register a big win.

Wandin Best: P. Bruzzese, R. Ross (3 goals), S. Wettenhall (4 goals), J. Van Unen (7 goals), R. Heasley, D. Barton Healesville Best: J. Nugent (1 goal), D. Plozza, R. Clarke (1 goal), A. Hamer (3 goals), N. Mende, T. Costigan Division 2 Seniors Football Powelltown 26.17.173 d Thornton Eildon 5.5.35 Powelltown have registered their first win for the season after a 23-goal win over Thornton. Powelltown got off to a flying start kicking 6.6 to just 2 behinds to have a commanding lead of 40 points at quarter time. Thornton

could only manage 1 goal in the second quarter while Powelltown added another 7 to have a lead of 80 points at half-time. The game was all over by then and unfortunately for Thornton is was going to be Powelltown by how much. Another 6 goals in the third quarter by Powelltown was impressive and they finished it off with 7 goals to 2 in the last.

Powelltown Best: T. Robinson (2 goals), B. Wratten (3 goals), N. Moody, R. McCrimmon (4 goals), R. Briggs (4 goals), J. Bruhn (1 goal) Thornton-Eildon Best: W. Cody, G. Savage, B.

Monbulk Rangers Under 12s Sapphires were grinning after their first victory of the season. 180790

First win is sweet Excited mothers cheered from the sidelines at Monbulk Soccer Centre as the Monbulk Rangers Under 12s Sapphires celebrated their first win and first goal in the FFV competition, defeating Collingwood City FC 1-0 at home on Mother's Day. The team was steered to victory by calm captaincy from Sarah Gass.

The only goal of the match was scored in the first half when Alice Hunt kicked strongly to net one in the corner.

Player of the match was keeper Emerson Varga who kept an attacking Collingwood scoreless, ably assisted by a strong back line that ensured

Cross country for all

By Jamie Strudley

the opposition could not get behind them.

Coach Natalie Doolan in her first season said she was very proud of her young FFV team.

"We all started as a completely new team this year and the girls have really come together. I'm proud of every player - they all had an impact and showed great development in a short time," Natalie said.

Monbulk Rangers is gearing up for a visit from coaches of the premiership-winning Melbourne Victory Club on Tuesday, along with the Victory's Premiership trophy from the Grand Final two weeks ago.

Yarra Ranges Athletics holds weekly cross country events every Saturday morning, open to any and all.

Last weekend, the events were held on the rolling hills of Margaret Lewis Reserve in Coldsteam.

ALL REVVED UP

Make them your choice One of Emerald's oldest and most trusted businesses, JL Automatics and Manual Repairs was established in 1979 and has been servicing the area for the past 38 years.

John Ligtermoet, proprietor and manager, set up his business as a young man and has watched Emerald transform from a small town to a vibrant and busy village.

Similarly, the needs of the local drivers and their vehicles have gone through major changes in technology over time and John has felt it has always been paramount to keep up with the advancements, tools and knowledge.

"Our focus is providing a reliable, overall service to vehicles as well as offering spare parts," John explained.

"And because we have been operating in the Emerald area (for over three decades), we have been able to watch the growth of the population and cater to the growing needs and advancements in technology."

Since its establishment, JL Automatics has built up an impressive range of services and is now considered the one-stop repair and service shop for all vehicle needs.

The workshop provides a wealth of experience in dealing with automatic transmission repairs and services and also carries out general service and tunes on all makes and models, brake inspections and repairs, air-conditioning, manual gearboxes, power steering, EFI diagnosis and injector cleaning.

JL Automatics and Manual Repairs also specialise in roadworthy certificates and tyres and all work is guaranteed. JL Automatics is located next to Emerald Primary School on Heroes Avenue and is open from 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. Phone 5968 5052 for more information.
