well-known songs.

Bev McAllister, President of DRMC welcomed the band and speaking to the mail said it was great for the students to hear their stories and learn about the profound impact music can have to change lives.

Year 8 music student Lauren Brooks said the workshop was enlightening and she was amazed how each band member was selftaught and couldn't read music.

"I found it quite interesting and really enjoyed the music mixed with their storytelling as you often don't get to hear the musician's stories," Lauren said.

"It was also great to hear about the importance of music and its capacity to create change." .

Over the years the group has played on stage with Gurrumul Yunupingu and Tina Arena, gained an ardent fan as a sixth band member, and been shortlisted for major industry awards.

"We've done it for 14-15 years now and right forms the get go it wasn't about fame or money but engaging with the community through music and trying to create positive change wherever we went," Jeffrey said.

The Dandenong Ranges Music Council (DRMC) invited the band to talk to the Upwey High School music students about music, the challenges they faced as a band and their background.

The band also treated teachers, staff and students to a workshop on traditional indigenous music and even played some of their

Upwey high School was rocking on 16 November when Tiwi Island band, Bathurst to Melville (B2M) paid a visit.

But the visit was about more than just music, and the band, which is named after the two Tiwi islands north of Darwin educate young people about alcohol, drugs and depression.

For B2M educating the kids of the future through their music and encouraging people to make a change in their lives is just as important if not more important than performing their songs and the band makes sure to stop in at local schools while on tour.

The band's leader, Jeffrey 'Yellow' Simon said the founding goal of B2M was to make fun

music and share positive stories.

"We started this group in 2004, and the reason for this band forming was that the Tiwi Islands at the time had the highest suicide rate in the nation," he said.

"We're still very strong in our culture and didn't even have a word for suicide in our culture, so it was something new to us.

"We decided as a group to use music as a vehicle to pass on these positive messages and to break the cycle."

B2M's music fuses mainstream rhythm and blues with the traditional Tiwi language and the lyrics in their songs come from their life experiences growing up in an Aboriginal community and seeing first-hand the effects of drugs and alcohol on their own people 12340147-ACM08-17

IN BRIEF Ferntree Gully fatal

Tony is new mayor

A man died in a two-car crash in Ferntree Gully.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the Saturday 17 November fatal collision.

They believe a silver Mitsubishi sedan collided with a white Toyota Camry at the Burwood Highway and Glenfern Road intersection about 10.50pm.

The Mitsubishi's only occupant, a man who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene.

Paramedics took the Ferntree Gully man and woman who were in the Toyota to hospital with minor injuries.

By Casey Neill Tony Stevenson is the new Yarra Ranges Mayor.

The Chandler Ward representative was elected unopposed at a council meeting on Tuesday 13 November.

Cr Richard Higgins nominated Cr Stevenson for the role - the only nomination put forward.

“If Cr Higgins hadn’t nominated you, I most certainly would have,” outgoing mayor Len Cox said.

Cr Stevenson said it was the calibre of his colleagues that encouraged him to be a councillor and made him want to be mayor.

“We have a very functional, high-performing council,” he said.

He paid tribute to Cr Cox, who was elected to the Shire of Lillydale in 1982 and served two terms are president.

He became the first mayor of the Yarra Ranges and has since served another three terms.

Next year will be his 35th as a councillor.

“Cr Cox has been and continues to be an outstanding contributor to our community and to local government,” Cr Stevenson said.

“Oftentimes he’s as calm as a pussycat, but on the issues that matter he’s a lion.”

The new mayor thanked his wife of almost 25 years and their three children for their support.

“It’s not a great job being the spouse of a councillor,” he said.

“Being mayor is an honour but it’s also a demanding role.”

Cr Stevenson pledged to work hard in the role, listing appointing a new council CEO and building the new civic centre among the great-

Appeal for witnesses At 10:18am on October 30 a dark blue VX Holden Commodore sedan was seen travelling at speed on the wrong side of the road on Burwood Highway, between Fitzgerald St and Thomas St, Ferntree Gully.

The vehicle was weaving in and out of oncoming traffic, repeatedly losing control and sliding.

The vehicle then travelled onto the other side of Burwood Highway on east bound lanes, also on the wrong side of the road. It then turned into Westley St, heading north at speed.

This vehicle has caused a number of vehicles travelling west on Burwood Highway to take evasive action and Police are seeking witnesses or dash cam footage to assist with their enquiries.

Anyone with dash cam footage or information is urged to contact Senior Constable Brendel at Knox Highway Patrol on 9881 7900 if you have any information.

Richard Higgins will serve as Deputy Mayor.

“Our council’s moving from strength to

strength,” he said.

“I think it’s a great place to be at the moment.”

Police are aware of some recent incidents of exposure on train lines, in particular the Belgrave and Lilydale lines.

Police are investigating these incidents, but want to urge the public that if they are a victim of or are witness to an incident of this nature to immediately report it to police or Protective Services Officers.

Sherbrooke Family and Children's Centre will have saved more than $27,000 after 351 solar panels were installed in November 2017.

BELRAVE-HALLAM RD

More than 1000 solar panels have been installed on council facilities throughout the hills townships, delivering annual savings of more than $82,000.

Council's Carbon Management Program, now in its sixth year, is working to meet Council's 2020 emission reduction target.

A range of energy efficiency and solar projects delivered so far have resulted in greenhouse emissions across all Yarra Ranges Council operations declining every year for the past four years.

More than 4,000 solar panels will be installed throughout Yarra Ranges under the program by the end of June 2019.

So far, Council has installed more than 2,800 panels on 29 buildings, generating $225,000 in electricity bill savings per year and reducing annual greenhouse emissions by 1,277 tonnes.

One of those locations, Sherbrooke Family and Children's Centre, was already benefiting from choosing solar.

Cr Noel Cliff said investing in solar panels

provided homes and businesses with the opportunity to save money on electricity bills and reduce their carbon footprint.

"Sherbrooke Family and Children's Centre will have saved more than $27,000 after 351 panels were installed in November 2017," Cr Cliff said.

Cr Cliff said that $176,465 and 490 tonnes of Co2 were saved across the whole municipality last year and that so far the solar panels installed across Council facilities are able to power around 160 homes in the hills for a whole year.

To help others in the community reap these benefits, Council is offering Environmental Upgrade Agreements (EUAs) to businesses that own or lease commercial, non-residential buildings in Yarra Ranges.

Commercial tenants can also benefit from EUAs by contributing to the repayment of the loan in return for the savings they receive from the upgrade works.

Tackling sleep problems Sleeping difficulties in children can be highly stressful for kids and families.

Poor quality sleep can affect behaviour, immune function and general wellbeing.

Addressing the underlying cause(s) of a sleep disorder will go a long way to resolving the problem and help return a sense of wellbeing into the nest.

Sleep deprivation affects everyone, negatively.

It's associated with poor memory and attention and an increased the risk of anxiety, poor food choices and weight gain.

If your child is a poor sleeper it's understandable to be concerned.

However, if you take a holistic look at this issue you will find there is a lot that can help your child.

Here are some tips and points to consider to

Candles and orange light do not block melatonin production. Alternately, leaving the drapes open and letting the sun fade into darkness works well.

Keep room temperature no higher than 18.5 degrees as advocated by the US National Sleep Foundation. Our bodies have evolved to sleep better when things cool down.

Limit eating and caffeine beverages around bedtime. This can produce a rush of energy in some children, especially if sugar-containing foods are taken.

Look after gut health and assess for food intolerance and nutrient deficiency. In chronic conditions, reactivity to food can irritate and cause inflammation which may result in pain or discomfort. Functional abdominal pain and parasitic infection will affect sleep

patterns and nutrient deficiencies such as magnesium, taurine and GABA may be affecting your child's ability to relax. These concerns are common and should be examined by a qualified health professional.

Address any underlying emotional issues with a qualified practitioner such as anxiety and depression, as these can affect sleep behaviour in numerous ways. Great strategies to counter emotional stress along with flower essences and homoeopathic remedies can help to gently regulate your child's emotional equilibrium.

Poor quality sleep is stressful and can hinder your child's wellbeing.

A holistic approach considers a range of drivers that may be disrupting your child's sleep.

A well-considered approach that looks broadly at the issue can yield excellent outcomes.

Last-ditch race to the polls Monbulk's candidates are making a last-ditch bid for votes ahead of the Saturday 24 November State Election.

Labor incumbent James Merlino is unperturbed by the ballot paper draw that landed Labour DLP candidate Joshua James Norman first place. "After four years of record funding from the Andrews Labor Government, I don't think the community will have any trouble distinguishing between the parties on the ballot paper," he said.

In his last official duties as Education Minister before the government caretaker period came into effect, Mr Merlino announced $400,000 to improve facilities at the Sherbrooke Community School and $360,000 to replace static school signs on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, in Sassafras. Labor will invest $9.3 million for the final major stage of the Monbulk College's master plan, which includes a STEM and trades building and a home economics building.

Mr Merlino also announced that Box Hill

Institute would receive $800,000 to deliver the Skills First Reconnect program.

It will help to create pathways to accredited training for 100 students living in the Yarra Ranges, Knox, Whitehorse and Melbourne.

The Reconnect Program targets early school leavers and the long-term unemployed.

A Liberal Nationals Government will continue to provide for local Scout groups, including providing $40,000 towards a new secure storage shed at Ferny Creek Scout Hall. The grant will complement a full revamp of the hall being undertaken through local community fund-raising.

Liberal Candidate for Monbulk, John Schurink, said scout halls were often a hub used by many in the community.

"Scout halls are used by a wide range of community, social and school groups, with more than 20,000 scouts in Victoria."

"This investment will deliver a secure storage space for scouts to store their equipment."

Restrictions on burn-offs now in force

A magical mosaic

By Derek Schlennstedt The Selby Community House unveiled there colossal six month mosaic project on Saturday 17 November.

The 11 metres long mosaic took six months to complete and reflects the local environment and native flora and fauna, which inhabit Minak reserve situated next to the Community house.

Earlier this year the Community House organised the mosaic to be displayed in its Community Indigenous Bushfoods Garden, and invited community members both young and old to contribute.

Karl Williams, finance officer at the Community House said that Selby Primary School, the local church and disability groups contributed to the mosaic.

"It's been going for almost 6 months and while it's been overseen by Selby Community House, the mosaic has been broken into separate modules for individual community groups to contribute and create," Mr Williams said.

"Some of the principal groups have been Selby primary School, the local All Saints Church, and local disability groups.

"It's been wonderfully diverse and inclusive ... people of all ages whether artistic or not have played a part in this, and while the end product is a stunning work of art the real agenda of the community house was to bring community members together."

The Community House received funding through Council's 2018 Grants for Community, which Mr Williams said was essential to getting the project off the ground.

"Yarra Ranges Council generously funded the project but there have been hundreds of hours of volunteer work and many local suppliers donated tiles and grouting and material," he said.

"It's really given us this opportunity - we've put in a lot of in-kind hours and had a lot of

From left: Julie Dowe from Selby Primary School, mosaic artist Belinda Conibeer, Steve Hall from Selby Primary School, Andrea Williams from Selby Community House committee and Yarra Ranges councillor Mike Clarke. donations. These things put together have just created a magnificent project."

On the day of the unveiling a number of active environment groups were present who helped with the mosaic including Friend of Minak Reserve for which the Selby Community House has raised over 4000 dollars to assist the upgrading of the their walking track.

The Minak Reserve is included in the design and local artist Nikki Wellington ensured that the flore and faune that inhabit the reserve

were included in the mosaic.

"On the mosaic is lyrebird and vast array of other birdlife, wallabies, and insects and of course native flora," Mr William said.

Mr Williams said that the final product was a fantastic work of art that will remain on the walls of the Selby Community House for years to come.

"Nobody knew what the final product was going to look like and only now has it come together and the outcome has stunned everyone."

The Fire Danger Period is now in place in the Yarra Ranges.

CFA District 13 acting operations manager Tim Holland said the warmer and drier than average weather over winter and the recent months, as well as below average rainfall, meant residents needed to be prepared for the imminent fire season.

"Reducing the amount of available fuel around your property will help that if a fire does occur, it has less chance of taking hold and spreading," he said.

"While CFA and its partner agencies Parks Victoria, Forest Fire Management Victoria, and Emergency Management Victoria are doing everything we can to prepare for the bushfire season, we look to the community to use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fires."

During the Fire Danger Period (FDP) fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer.

The CFA's Bushfire Community Survey showed 52 per cent of respondents considered the bushfire risk to their home moderate, minor or non-existent.

A third said they would only leave when a fire threatened their town or suburb rather than the morning of or night before a day of extreme fire danger.

"If rainfall trends continue, this season will be in line with Victoria's driest seasons increasing the risk of bushfire," CFA acting chief officer Stephanie Rotarangi said.

"Exactly what are you going to do for you family, for your kids, your partner or parents, your loved ones, pets, other animals if a fire occurs and a fire truck may not be able to get there?"

LETTERS An election reminder Voters of Monbulk, remember on Saturday 24 November, a vote for James Merlino is a vote for Labor to destroy the CFA as we know it.

It is a vote for Labor to continue wasting our money on covering up their rorting and not be accountable as Daniel Andrews said he would be. It is a vote for more secretive government, not open as was promised in 2014.

It is a vote for ideological promises which will not happen for generations.

It is a vote for increased taxes and fees to pay for these 'promises'.

It is time for a new start in Victoria, not a continuing rabble and self-indulgent Labour Government.

Dennis Yeats, Tecoma

Hands off the CFA Victoria has many volunteer groups - charities, service clubs, sporting clubs, theatre groups.

All add to the fabric of our community.

None serve us better than the 55,000 CFA volunteers.

For decades, CFA volunteers have protected our lives and our properties.

They fight house fires and bushfires voluntarily, without pay.

Tragically, some of them die protecting us.

When major fires erupt outside their local area, they form strike teams and head off to the other side of Victoria or interstate to protect those in need.

We are better-protected for having this standing army of well-trained volunteers.

We could not afford to have such a large force of paid firefighters.

CFA volunteers give us greater protection at lower cost. It also gives Victoria surge-capacity.

When a large fire breaks out, massive resources are needed.

The standing army of CFA volunteers can be relied on to provide hundreds of firefighters

and scores of appliances within hours.

This could not be done with a professional force, as no government will ever employ sufficient full-time professional firefighters to give that capacity.

It can only be done through the volunteer structure of the CFA. Our system is envied across the world.

This capacity is now threatened by the Andrews Government's plan to break up the CFA. Black Saturday Royal Commissioner Bernard Teague and Jack Rush QC, who assisted him, have both publicly said this is wrong and dangerous.

Rush believes that it will cost lives.

Until now, every member for the Monbulk electorate has supported the CFA's volunteer base.

The current MP is the minister responsible for implementing the Andrews Government's dangerous and destructive policy.

As he lives in the Dandenongs, I cannot understand why he believes the government's policy is more important than the homes and lives of residents.

When you vote at this election, please support the volunteers and send the Labor Government a message. Hands off the CFA. Steve McArthur (Monbulk MP 1992-2002), Montrose

Climate change walk-out I write to congratulate the young Australians from local schools who are planning to go on strike on 30 November to join the Walk out for Climate Action.

They have a right to walk out to demand stronger action on climate change because they are the ones who will inherit the consequences of our inaction.

I hope the Federal Government pays close attention and dumps climate-damaging projects like the planned Adani mega mine.

Peter Cook, Clematis

Questioning education

Proving a point

How can Labor take the high moral ground on education?

James Merlino, the Member for Monbulk, didn't open his mouth to object when the former Brumby Labor Government was the first state government to triple TAFE fees and introduce HECs-style loan schemes in 2010.

He was a senior minister in the government at the time.

At the same time, Labor also introduced competition between TAFE institutions and private providers for the first time.

Again, James Merlino was silent.

Federally, Labor was then responsible for funding universities and in 2013 it was the Gillard Labor Government that cut funding for higher education by $2.8 billion dollars.

In 1992 the Swinburne University of Technology Act was created by the Liberals. Part of its purpose was "to improve access to university education in the Outer Eastern region" of Melbourne.

That was written into the act. In 2010, this act was changed by Labor and that section of the act was removed.

It was because of you, James Merlino, that higher education in the outer east was put at risk.

Because you allowed that to happen, Swinburne University was able to move core courses away from its Lilydale campus over a twoyear period before claiming that, because of low student numbers, it could no longer justify keeping that campus open.

At one stage of my career, as a tech school teacher, I was on the executive of the Technical Teacher's Union of Victoria (TTUV).

We must never forget that in the '80s the Labor government closed every tech school in Victoria and I reckon we lost a generation of apprentices as a result.

That's a pretty rotten record if you ask me.

Sophie Wajsman, Montrose

Thanks to Howard Hutchins (Relishing choice, 6 November).

You give a perfect illustration of the arrogance and misinformation I was questioning (Standing up for animals, 23 October).

Maybe have a look into so-called 'humane killings' and don't pay too much heed to good old Aussie culture.

A lamb will wag his tail when excited and come running when his name is called, somewhat like your precious pooch.

Liz Arnold, Emerald

Tank top season

By Derek Schlennstedt Come along to the Sassafras village green works info session on Saturday 24 November, 11.00am - 2.00pm to learn about the Sassafras Creek Stormwater Project.

Six specially designed underground stormwater tanks are to be installed at Sassafras Village Green to provide cleaner stormwater to Sassafras Creek and prevent erosion.

Construction is due to commence in early February next year and the project will take about eight weeks to complete, during which the Green will be closed.

There will be family activities at the info session, and Council officers will be there to show the plans and answer questions.

The underground tanks capture stormwater that flows off paved surfaces and roads during rain.

The tanks will hold and filter the stormwater before it is slowly released into Sassafras Creek.

Cr Noel Cliff said that stormwater run-off in developed steep areas causes asphalt to be washed into our waterways, eroding creek beds and banks.

"In more undeveloped areas, the rainwater ends up in the soil but in residential areas it ends up in the drain," Cr Cliff said.

"The run-off collects damaging pollutants such as chemicals, oils and heavy metals from cars and rubbish and ends up back in our waterways.

"Large amounts of stormwater entering the waterways lead to erosion of stream banks and this is what has been happening to the creek."

"The underground tanks will reduce the speed of stormwater flowing into the creeks, which will help reduce erosion in the creek," Cr Cliff said.

The tanks will filter contaminants in the

Sassafras Township Group member Jane Hollands with Cr Noel Cliff and other township group members. stormwater and remove litter, improving the water quality of the creek and stormwater runoff from Mount Dandenong Tourist Road will enter the tanks through underground pipes.

"Our waterways are important for biodiversity habitats and water catchments, as well as for their recreational value for locals and visitors," Mr Cliff said.

The project will involved the removal of the memorial path however council contractors have ensured the pavers in the memorial path created as part of the community recovery process following the 1997 Dandenong Ranges bushfires will be professionally removed, stored safely and reinstated following completion of the works.

Meet Cardinia Shire’s new mayor Port Ward Councillor Graeme Moore was elected Mayor of Cardinia Shire at Council's Annual Statutory Meeting on Monday 12 November.

Now in his third term as Councillor, Mayor Cr Moore was excited about the appointment and expressed his gratitude to their fellow Councillors for the vote of confidence.

It is the second time Cr Moore has been Mayor, having previously filled this role in 2013-14 and that of Deputy Mayor in 2014-15.

Cr Moore said he looked forward to leading the Council in the year ahead and working collaboratively to continue delivering on the Council Plan.

"I am thrilled to be leading this Council as Mayor over the next 12 months as we ramp up our delivery and work on projects we've been planning these past two years.

As an elected representative, a Councillor for Port Ward, I am very passionate about being a good leader, a listener and an strong advocate for the growing and changing needs of our community, and I will be bringing this passion to the role of Mayor," said Cr Moore.

In addition, Cardinia Shire's 2017-18 Mayor Cr Collin Ross was elected Deputy Mayor for 2018-19.

Mayor Cr Moore thanked Cr Collin Ross for his fulfilment of the role as Mayor over the past 12 months saying: "Our previous Mayor Cr Collin Ross's commitment to the role throughout the past year has been outstanding. I am looking forward to having his support as Deputy Mayor over the next year."

Volunteers wanted

The MS Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is seeking volunteers for a resident in Belgrave.

The MS Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is seeking volunteers for a resident in Belgrave.

The MS CVS provides volunteer visitors to residents in aged care homes or living in their own homes, who are socially isolated and whose quality of life would be improved by friendship and companionship.

"We require volunteers who would enjoy spending quality time with an older community member developing a genuine friendship and making a real difference in their quality of life," Esis Tawfik, Senior Manager at MS Connect said.

Volunteers visit their older friend at a mutually convenient time and volunteers

are required to be able to visit the recipients fortnightly for at least a 12-month commitment.

Ms Tawfik said the volunteering program is great for busy people who want to make a difference and for that the volunteer would be spending time with Burt - a retired farmer in Belgrave who enjoys going to cafes and watching the races.

"Burt, a retired farmer is one of our recipients who would benefit from a male volunteer visitor with clear English to visit on Fridays and Saturday in Belgrave South," she said.

"He enjoys following the horse races and

AFL Football and would love to share stories with a likeminded friend, who can also take him out for a drive to a local cafe."

Enquiries from people of all ages and gender, however, male volunteers are preferable.

MS has been an auspice of the Community Visitors Scheme since inception in 1991.

The recipients do not need to be people living with MS and this service is available to any resident in an aged care facility or a person living in their own home with a Homecare package that needs more companionship.

"We continue to engineer the event to ensure we have as many affordable price points offered by our participating benefactors to strike a balance between external food and stall vendors for our families.

"Our 'model' is to make everything we do is super affordable or free with the gate entry, and as a consequence we are blessed to raise funds."

The Philanthropic Collective have raised and given back to the community close to thirty thousand dollars in the events short history of two years and Mr Fillip-Gautier stressed that there day of celebration will always fall on a fixed date being the closest Saturday to Halloween.

"We want to embrace all the varied community events on offer and support each other's endeavours without programs overlapping," he said.

"We invite the community to join us again as we host a bigger and brighter Cultural Festival on Saturday 26 October, 2019."

The Philanthropic Collective would like to acknowledge the support of Ferny Creek Reserve Committee of Management, Police Crime Prevention Liaison Unit, Yarra Ranges Council, Bendigo Bank - Upwey, Ferny Creek CFA, Scouts and Tennis Club, Fletchers - Olinda, Cameo Belgrave and the offices of Jason Wood and James Merlino.

The Australian Government is funding opportunities for up to 300,000 apprenticeships and traineeships, to ensure workers have the right skills for the workforce.

Monbulk Bowling Club staff and patrons.

A warm and friendly club Come and enjoy what the Monbulk Bowling Club (MBC) has to offer the local community this Christmas.

Great food, good hospitality, welcoming staff, local entertainers and the great sport of bowls are just some of the features that are packaged together in this local community club.

With a warm and friendly atmosphere, the MBC bistro is perfect for catching up with friends, relaxing after a busy day or celebrating a special occasion with family and friends.

It’s also the perfect solution for when you don’t feel like cooking!

The menu has been spruced up for spring and summer with new feature dishes such as Thai beef salad served with Asian slaw and Hokkien noodles, perfect for the lovely spring and summer nights.

And why not finish it off with a chocolate and raspberry tart served with pear and anise ice cream?

The club says it ‘is proud to offer the best

bar prices in town, with an interesting and varied wine list.’ The MBC also offers regular “Wine of the Month” features.

Friday night is a night of entertainment at the Bistro with local artists entertaining patrons while they dine. Why not book a table for family and friends and enjoy a festive celebration? It’s a great way to relax into the weekends and support the local artists.

Barefoot bowls ramps up at this time of year at the club with ‘Night Owls’ on Thursday

nights. If lawn bowls sounds like something locals would like to try, friendly club members always welcome new bowlers.

The club can help new members get started with equipment and free coaching, or simply a casual night with some locals.

For all bookings and enquiries, call 9756 6183. To keep up to date with everything happening at the MBC, like and follow the club’s Facebook page ‘Monbulk Bowling Club and Bistro.’

ELMWOOD GRANGE COMPLETELY secluded on the hillside yet capturing the sun, Elmwood Grange is reminiscent of a French country house, cradled within stunning landscaped gardens set on more than two acres with views across the treetops to The Patch valley.

The rock-lined wall of the meandering driveway leads to a vista resonant of the south of France, with the residence sited to capture the magic of its terrain and setting.

A studio rests in the peak of the double garage, framing the expansive open flat coral stone entrance providing ample car accommodation for guests prior to entering the home’s gated forecourt.

Stepping inside, the elegance of the decor captures the characteristics of a French country farmhouse, incorporating architectural detailing with timber lintels over doorways and windows down to forged handles on doors and earthy tiled flooring.

The kitchen has a provincial feel with its gentle lines, soft colours, freestanding island bench and beautiful cabinetry with timber benches.

Elegant yet homely, rustic yet refined, the agent says traditional elements are beautifully married with modern appointments and excellent storage with the butlers’ pantry,

while the heightened ceiling draws the eye to the mezzanine walkway above.

The living spaces are framed by a series of French doors acting as a fluid extension of the home, integrating the pool and gardens into the house design.

A fireplace and decorative mantle are essential touches in the dining, while the relaxed living area is beautifully proportioned, offering a wall of bookcases and further wood fire.

The black iron and oak timber stairway leads to the upper level, while the chalky subdued colour palette defines landing areas and solid timber four-panel doors frame entrances to rooms.

Four bedrooms and three bathrooms define individuality, with beautiful stones combining with country timber vanities, French doors, soaker tub and stunning fixtures.

The master suite’s dramatic roofline and private balcony embrace the elevated aspect, private and peaceful, ensuring the interior is always connected to its surroundings.

Terraced European gardens, cellar, garden shed and attic storage solutions incorporate the French style and are integral to the house design.

Light and the garden are allowed to pass through the house, with the doors open guests can circulate freely between the court yard, poolside, flat lawn areas, house and an adjoining terrace with ease and with framed vistas as a backdrop.

Rendered walls in rustic tones accentuated by black iron detailing, classic ornamentation and abundant plantings create a relaxed space to unwind.

Elmwood Grange is a country escape in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges, with abundant birdlife close to the Olinda and Sassafras boutique villages, award-winning restaurants and is located only an hour from Melbourne.

Comprehensive appointments include: · 70,000 litre swimming pool with salt water chlorinator and Rheem electric pool/spa heater. · 4Kw, 17-panel solar panel system · Sony Home theatre with retractable screen and rear ceiling speakers in living room. · Electric curtains in the living room and upstairs master bedroom. Retractable awning on deck outside upstairs master bedroom with wind sensor. · Heated floor in the master bedroom ensuite with Bluetooth-enabled mirror including separate hot water system. · 45,000 litre fresh tank water on property. · Monitored home alarm system. ●

Your Favs from Growing Pains

Xavier Rudd talks Rochford event and his new album Storm Boy.

By Derek Schlennstedt Rounding out Growing Pains initiative’s incredible exhibition program, Your Favs brings together some of the public’s favourite artists from exhibitions across the year.

Self-described as a "sick creative network, offering exhibitions, workshops and events to help young artists get their art out there and learn how to be freak’n amazing", Growing Pains has held a number of unique exhibitions at Burrinja this year.

Comprised of works by Amy Daeche, Georgia Steele, Nadine Keegan, Sabrina Fraser, Stephanie Reynolds and Tara Denny, the aptly called Your Favs exhibition is just a small sample of the amazing young talent Growing Pains has worked with throughout 2018.

Print maker Georgia Steele whose work is featured in Your Favs explores the interaction between the Urban and Natural world, while Tara Denny’s clay sculpture is deeply personal and beautifully depicts how we are able to overcome trauma.

“Through the use of symbolism, metaphors in the medium collage open up the idea of moving from one place to another,” Ms Steele said about her work.

“My objects are in a state of pure suspense - they turn a blind eye to death itself and are unaffected by its decaying touch,” Ms Denny said.

Sabrina Fraser other artist featured in Your Favs uses acrylic paint and unusual materials such as cling wrap to create her work and said that her paintings are inspired by nature and fuelled further by her imagination.

“Each painting I work on emerges intuitively and rarely begins with an end result in mind.”

Bringing our attention to the plight of the Black Cockatoo, Amy Daeche’s lino prints and water colour’s treasure the connection be-

Rudd talks up Rochford

By Derek Schlennstedt Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd will be joining Rodriquez, Busby Marou, Pierce Brothers and Alice Skye at Rochford's Day on the Green.

The renowned singer-songwriter will be bringing his iconic tribal beat elements and folk arrangements to the Yarra Valley on Saturday 16 February and will no doubt be performing old hits, as well as new classics from his recently released album Storm Boy. As humble as he is talented, Rudd spoke to the Mail about how the journey which led to the new album Storm Boy, and spoke about how he looked forward to the Rochford performance.

He said Storm Boy was a collection of songs that he had just progressively worked on as a side project while touring.

"There was nothing planned about it," he said.

"I just had a bit of a side project while touring with the United Nations and put an album together.

"This album I was writing in the background and there was no real reason for it, just

how it all panned out."

It's been six years since Rudd's last solo release, the ARIA #2 and Gold Certified Spirit Bird, and a lot of things have happened in that time. His new album Storm Boy tracks that journey along the way.

"I am super excited to offer Storm Boy to the world ... it's been an amazing journey making this album, many magical collaborations with talented people and many stories to tell."

"Some of the tracks I've had tucked away under my wing for up to 10 years and I've waited for the right time to bring them to life.

"I feel like we captured some magic for sure."

Having already played with Rodriquez, and met Alice Skye, Busby Marou and the Pierce Brother's, Rudd said he was looking forward to the Rochford event.

Having only returned recently from a world tour, he said it was good to be back and touring the country he calls home.

"I love it ... when I leave home part of me doesn't come, so it's always good to get back and is the treat at the end of it all," he said.

"The Rochford event should be really fun."

Your Favs brings together some of the public’s favourite artists from exhibitions across the year including Stephanie Reynolds. tween these incredible creatures and helps to inspire responsibility in admiring, and effort in looking after our native bird species Stephanie Reynolds draws her inspiration from the artistic potential within the colour palettes around her as well as the connection between the mind and nature and Nadine Keegan creates her stained glass works with both recycled and new glass.

“Your Favs” opens Saturday November 17 at 1pm with refreshments and the exhibition runs from 17 November until 9 December.

It’s not so fantastic at all Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston and Jude Law Rated M Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has some charming elements smothered under a slack, confused plot.

The film has resplendent visual imagination and some enchanting moments of human compassion and animal awe. Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterston have endearing interplay as they rekindle their affection, and Jude Law conveys an affable gravitas as legendary wizard Albus Dumbledore.

But delving deeper, The Crimes of Grindelwald feels like a mortally muddled warm-up for future stories.

The film devotes much of its time to a pointless red-herring involving Credence (Ezra Miller), an angst-ridden magically-devastating boy. The second act wallows in exposition,

suggesting and then quickly ruling out a dark connection between Credence and Ministry of Magic agent Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz).

Leta's repressed grief over her past - while conveyed with pained grace by Kravitz - is just padding for the thin plot. The heroes are rarely placed in any real danger, and little is accomplished by the end, especially with regard to Credence's development: he isn't the arbitrary person the film implied he might be, but he's exactly the dangerous force we knew he was from the previous film.

David Yates is an otherwise competent filmmaker, but The Crimes of Grindelwald contains some shockingly amateurish scene direction - especially in the confusing climactic stand-off - and distracting shaky-cam.

The Crimes of Grindelwald is a intermittently charming but plodding and unfulfilling mess.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

It’s Tiger-time for Upwey

By Richard Millott Upwey Tecoma finished their assignment against the Magpies, registering their third win of the season.

Steve Moore claimed 4/37 to go through the Belgrave line-up.

Aaron Brunner was the shining light for the Pies, scoring 42 as the visitors reached 172 in reply to the Tigers' 8/272.

Johnson Park completed an ominous chase of Ferntree Gully to deny the Blues. Set 300 to win, the Sharks were off in chase, with Paul Wilkinson falling for 99, alongside Sam Shearer (78*) and Liyan DeSilva (62) seeing the Sharks across the line, finishing 4/303 to go a game clear in second place.

Knoxfield saw off the challenge from Knox

Gardens at Carrington Reserve.

Set 278 last week, Knox Gardens were off to a solid start with Adam Metherell scoring 63 to lead the way for the Falcons.

However, Zac Wilson saw that the Knights fought back with the ball, claiming 3/42 to help dismiss the visitors for 219.

Ferntree Gully Footballers remain in the top four despite defeat against the ladder-leading Bears.

The Basin set 8/333 last week, however it was the Griffens who had contributions early with Dobinson (76), Lachlan Storey (46) and Tharanga Lakshita (31) all making inroads on the target.

However Jake Sheriff (3/43) and Josh Lee (3/60) ensured the Basin remained undefeated, dismissing Footballers for 214.

Eildon Park chased Upper Ferntree Gully's 182, passing the target with three wickets in hand.

Cody Morris starred with 51, whilst Jarryd Roleff took 3/57 for the Kings, however the Panthers claimed the points.

In Decoite Shield, a spirited challenge from St Johns Tecoma fell frustratingly short of South Belgrave, dismissed for 313 chasing 332.

Jake Sali (66), Billy Sanger (64), Andrew Evans (45), Jarrod Parlby (37) and Luke Hands (30) all found their way on the scorecard for the Saints while for South, Cameron Smith was the destructor, snaring 5/54 to deny the Saints.

Mountain Gate is knocking on the door of the top four thanks to a home victory over Olinda.

The Gators reached 6/256 last week, with

Hawks in control with a consistent turn Another beautiful day for cricket saw the Monbulk firsts set about defending 305 against Rowville. Consistent breakthroughs were the order of the day, with no partnership reaching greater than 40 runs. The game was very much in Monbulk's keeping, with the score at 6/116 at tea.

Rowville dug deep to reach 199 but never really looked like challenging at any point in the innings.

The pick of the bowlers was Chris Martin with 3/29.

The twos never really got going in their battle with Rowville.

Set 198 last week and being 0/31 when play resumed, wickets steadily fell to leave Monbulk short at 153.

Brian Martin played a lone hand up top with 35, while Josh Spencer battled it out at the end to be 27*.

The thirds completed a crushing victory over Olinda, winning by five wickets and 180odd balls to spare.

Jason Dekkers was the start with 69* and 4/30.

The fours lost a nail-biter, going down by 10 runs to Belgrave.

Brayden Caldwell hit 100* in Monbulk's total of 9/287, but it wasn't enough to chase down Belgrave's 297.

In junior news, the under-16s had their first win of the season, getting over the line against Olinda.

Set 181 to win, Monbulk got the job done by a single run, finishing all-out for 182.

Jett Bolton was the star with the bat making 69, well-supported by Ollie Grujic with 20.

With the ball, Jake Mackay took 4/16 and Ollie Grujic was valuable with 3/26.

Will Copelin snaffled four catches behind the stumps.

The under-14s struggled to 67 in response to Ferntree Gully's 116.

Ethan Blenkiron was best with the bat making 26, while Alex McDonald 3/12 and Matt Abrahams 3/22 did the damage with the ball.

The under-13s also had a tough day at the office against Eildon Park, working against a

Making 4/105, Tim Rickard continued his good season with 32*, aptly supported by Jacob Defina with 18.

The under-12s got the chocolates against Upwey-Tecoma, making 7/108 with Charlie Hooper 23* the man with the bat.

The Fast 9s had a day out against Rowville, notching up 3/121 with runs to Kit Sutton 24*, Jed Fraser 20* and Ethan Knight 14*.

Monbulk bowled well to restrict Rowville to 5/51 with Bailey Pascoe and Lucas Hickingbotham taking a wicket.

The Super 7s also had a night to remember, making 4/157 against Olinda.

Mitch Holder continued his stellar season with 33* and Jasper Beer also retired on 31.

Olinda could only make 9/74 with Quintin Kelly taking 2/12.

Monbulk maintains undefeated record With Saturday pennant having a week off due to the Victorian Open, all attention turned to Tuesday's pennant games.

Monbulk 1 was undefeated and in the top position on the ladder when its members travelled to Croydon and found themselves playing on the grass green.

This match was close throughout the morning session and Monbulk led by just two shots at the lunch break.

After the break, Monbulk got out to a 10shot lead, but Croydon rallied and this lead was reduced over the last few ends.

Monbulk held on, winning by four shots, 61 to 57.

Richard Cooksons' rink won by five shots, 24 to 19.

Eric Markhams' rink won by three shots, 19

Eraj Wimalaratna had other ideas, taking 3/34 to ensure victory.

Monbulk kept Rowville at bay in their match, with their 305 too much for the Hawks.

Alex Walker (58) and Steve Oudshourn (30*) led the attack during the chase, but Chris Martin took 3/29 to keep Monbulk's pressure on towards the top of the ladder.

Likewise, Lysterfield secured the points over Knox Gardens, the Beavers collecting them after a successful chase of the Falcons' 192.

Nick McKay (62) and Daniel Forster-Jennings (31) showed the way with the willow for the Beavers to reach 6/195.

With the ball, Drew Withers claimed 4/68 for the Falcons.

Monbulk 2 played Boronia at home and was far too good on the quick surface, winning by 34 shots, 79 to 45.

Everitt Hargreaves' rink had a day out, winning by 19 shots, 29 to 10.

Eric Furbys' rink started well and led by 14 shots to nil after seven ends and eventually won by 11 shots, 25 to 14.

Peter Francis' rink trailed by eight shots after 13 ends and then put up an enormous effort to score 15 shots to three over the next eight ends to win by four shots, 25 to 21.

Monbulk 3 played away at Lilydale and came up with an excellent win by 15 shots, 70 to 55.

The village people, led by Mike Harris, had a

convincing win by 11 shots, 29 to 18.

Barry Adsheads' rink played some fine bowls to win by 10 shots, 26 to 16.

Don Barnetsons' rink found the going tough and went down by six shots.

Currently, Monbulk is enjoying a very good season with five out of six teams currently in the four.

Night Owls bowls started last Thursday and it was a terrific night.

It begins at 7.30pm, with competitors asked to dress casually and wear flat-soled shoes.

Two-day cricket finally arrived for the premier grades across the Yarra Valley, and the players didn’t disappoint.

Day one saw most games feature some dour batting against some disciplined bowling, something the game is always searching for.

In DJ Strachan Shield, Mount Evelyn holds the reins despite Healesville making them work hard for their rewards.

Healesville won the toss and elected to bat first, and got themselves into the contest with a dogged opening partnership from Brenton Damrow and Max Minney.

With the opening partnership broken, a glut of wickets fell in the lead-up to tea.

Kane Jones and Gareth Fraser showed their talents through the middle order, picking a whole through the top order, nullifying the foundations set.

From there the innings battled to find some momentum.

To Healesville’s credit, they didn’t throw their wickets away and were quite determined in their approach.

Dale Senior (45) continued his good form with the bat, and with some solid support from the lower order they pushed the score out to 121.

With an early close to the innings, Mount Evelyn took the opportunity to take some ground before stumps on day one, and they executed a telling blow.

Led by Jesse Fraser’s brisk 33, the home team finished on 1/53.

In RA Finger Trophy action, Mount Evelyn trumped their first-eleven counterparts as they secured first innings points in day one against Healesville.

Pat Heaphy (5/30) and Robbie Wilson (3/14) skittles the home side for 72, which was promptly passed before stumps, with the Mounters finishing at 1/81 and in an excellent position to chase outright points.

Yarra Ranges Athletics

By Jamie Strudley On Saturday 17 November, 33 Little Athletes from Yarra Ranges Athletics competed against the other clubs from the Eastern Metro Region at the Doncaster Athletics Track.

In an action-packed morning of competition, many of the club's younger athletes were competing in relays for the first time.

This didn't stop them qualifying for finals and vying for top positions in many races.

The afternoon saw the older athletes from the under-12 to under-14 groups competing, every runner raced hard to support their team mates.

Racing was in a range of formats, with 4x100m, 4x200m, the exciting medley events were a favourite.

The mixed gender races allowed more of the Yarra Ranges athletes to compete.

The club came away with one silver medal in the under-10 girls medley team, and three bronze medals in the under-9 girls 4x100m, under-9 mixed gender 4x200m and the under-10 mixed gender 4x100m.

Many teams qualified for finals and some very close fourth places for our teams after some fantastic running by all of our under-8 to under-14 year old age groups.

Teams now eagerly await the announcement of teams that have qualified to compete at the State Relay Championships to be held in December.

Brilliant conditions for athletics greeted athletes and officials from all across Victoria when they arrived at Morrison Reserve on Saturday afternoon for Round 6 of the Athletics Victoria Shield competition.

More than 500 athletes of all ages and abilities competed in graded events, and filled the track to race, jump and throw in a range of disciplines.

The highlight of the day was the first ever

Kai Gelastopoulos in his 400 metre run.

Pictures: ERIKA BEDYN

Several years of fund-raising and equipment improvements allowed for this fantastic achievement.

With past Commonwealth Games athlete Joel Pocklington in the field, a high-quality venue record has been established in both the men's (4.90m) and women's (3.55m) event.

He was joined by other Commonwealth Games representatives including long jump

silver medallist Brooke Stratton and heptathlete Celeste Mucci.

The Yarra Ranges Athletics club members supported their home round with high numbers of athletes and helpers to make the afternoon an all-round success.

Congratulations and welcome went to Amy Pearce who took the opportunity to run with the club's seniors for the first time, and was full of smiles during and after.

With strong performances across all grades,

the Yarra Ranges teams have maintained their season top of the ladder positions in the open men's and women's Division 2, and the under-18 men.

The under-18 women are holding in third, and under-14 women in finals qualifying second.

The weekly Little Athletics competition was held on Friday night.

Twilight athletics offers the opportunity for mums and dads to join in.

Not too many were keen this time to test themselves against their children ... maybe next time.

Next week the club will be back to regular Saturday morning athletics while the seniors compete in the Athletics Victoria Track Relays at Box Hill.

It's not too late to get involved in the Little Athletics or the senior competition with Athsvic.

Any interested athletes can contact the club via join@yarrarangesathletics.org.au.

MOTORING

Hybrid RAV4 on the way Toyota's new RAV4 will introduce two advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems.

The 2019 RAV4 line-up will include the first Toyota hybrid SUV available in Australia, featuring the option of a newly-developed electric AWD system.

A mechanical AWD system is also available in the new range, updated with Toyota's first dynamic torque vectoring system that apportions torque between the left and right rear wheels as well as between the front and rear axles.

Due in local dealerships during the second quarter of next year, the fifth-generation RAV4 will be offered with three new four-cylinder direct-injection engines - 2.0-litre petrol with front-wheel-drive (FWD), 2.5-litre hybrid (FWD or electric AWD) and 2.5-litre petrol (mechanical AWD).

The most powerful yet most fuel-efficient

was released in Australia the following year.

The arrival of the fifth-generation RAV4 will coincide with the model's 25th anniversary.

Rating rider clothing for motorcyclists "Motorcycle and scooter riders have very little protection other than their helmet and their clothing when involved in a crash," he said.

"There are plenty of options out there for safe and affordable protective clothing and MotoCAP makes it easier for riders to balance the sometimes conflicting needs of personal protection and comfort."

New findings from the TAC's 2017 Motorcycle Monitor showed most Victorian riders always wore protective gloves (80 per cent), a full face helmet (72 per cent), riding jacket (71 per cent) and boots (70 per cent).

However, only 47 per cent of respondents wore motorcycle riding pants all the time.

TAC research showed contusions, abrasions and lacerations were the second most common injuries sustained in on-road motorcycle crashes in Victoria, behind fractured limbs.

RACV vehicle engineering manager Michael Case said the protection star rating considered performance in abrasion resistance, seam strength and impact protection.

The comfort rating is based on how comfortable the clothing is for the Australian climate.

Victorian motorcycle and scooter riders will have online access to a world-first rating system for motorcycle clothing.

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC), VicRoads and RACV partnered with agencies across Australia and New Zealand to develop the Motorcycle Clothing Assessment Program - MotoCAP. The program will give riders more information when choosing what to wear when riding.

TAC senior road safety specialist David Young said the MotoCAP program would provide two separate star ratings on clothing - one for protection and one for comfort - via a new website.
