Mount Evelyn resident Monika Hoefer is helping people to get the most out of life through assistance dogs.

She's a trainer with Dogs for Life, which head trainer Yariv Ben-Yosef started.

He came to Australia about seven years ago and set up the organisation to train dogs to meet therapeutic goals. He has almost 30 years' experience in the field.

The pooches form lasting partnerships that improve quality of life, enhance independence and facilitate increased participation in society.

"People come to us from all over the world," Mr Ben-Yosef said.

He said the task the dog would need to perform determined the training time required.

Detector dogs for epilepsy need an intensive two-year training course, then another year of training with their patient.

Guide dogs need three years of training, autism dogs 18 months to two years, and dementia dogs five years.

Dogs for Life also works with the defence department on dogs for service men and women with post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Every dog's got different instincts," Mr Ben-Yosef explained.

He said Collies were great for patients with Alzheimer's because they had great memories.

Golden retrievers can pick up on the molecular changes associated with diabetes.

Jack russells can help young children with autism.

Mr Ben-Yosef uses only female dogs, because the males have a natural desire to become dominant, and works with the highest quality breeders.

Dogs for Life is National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognised but dog recipients often need to fund-raise for the $35,000 average cost to get a dog and a two-year support program.

When the Mail spoke to Ms Hoefer she was working with a lagotto named Holly.

She was speaking with local MPs after a bus drove straight past her because she had a dog with her.

She works on educating people about the important role the dogs are playing and the exceptions afforded to service dogs.

Ms Hoefer runs schools programs and

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

LETTERS Declaration's a statement of hope It disturbs me that the Ranges Trader Mail would print a letter from a person identified by a single name - Antony, Belgrave (Not in our interest, 19 February).

I would be less concerned if the name was, say, Kylie or Elvis or perhaps Madonna, persons readily and easily identifiable by a single name. But - Antony?

However, despite my concerns, I cannot allow the misinformation contained in that letter to pass unremarked.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (not the Universal Declaration of Rights, as asserted by Antony) needs no 'divine mandate' and is not 'just a political document'.

In fact, it's not a political document at all, but a statement of hope.

It was conceived following the end of the Second World War and it enshrined the hopes of civilised nations that the atrocities therein committed would never again occur.

It is worth noting that Australia's own HV Evatt, fondly referred to as Doc, was hugely instrumental in the framing of the declaration and in its adoption by the United Nations in 1948.

Contrary to Antony's claim, the United Nations is not 'a thoroughly suspect organisation' but a place where nations can and do attempt to work out the conflicts that naturally arise from the fact that seven billion people inhabit this planet and we need to find ways of co-existing in peace.

With reference to Article 14, Antony makes the not uncommon mistake of confusing asylum seekers with refugees.

Article 14 refers to a right to seek asylum.

Refugees and asylum seekers are in fact separate classes of people.

It is up to our government to decide who is and who is not a refugee and/or an asylum seeker.

Different rights attach to these classifications.

The fact of the current situation is that our

government has delayed to the point of inertia in making the necessary enquiries to determine what exactly the status is of those people currently held in detention both here in Australia and in the off-shore detention centres of Manus Island and Nauru.

As the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied.

IN BRIEF

Listeria outbreak

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges Council is advising its Meals on Wheels clients to dispose of all meals received from the service since 13 January following a listeriosis death.

On Friday 22 February health authorities announced they’d closed commercial caterer I Cook Foods while they investigated after an elderly woman died in an eastern suburbs private hospital on 4 February.

She was diagnosed with listeriosis, an illness commonly associated with food contamination.

I Cook Foods of Dandenong South provided meals to the private hospital involved and also supplied Meals on Wheels, including to Yarra Ranges Council.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has not advised Yarra Ranges Council of the exact location of the listeriosis report but it was not within the shire.

The council has contacted Meals on Wheels clients to advise them not to eat, and to throw out, any meals they have had delivered on 21 and 22 February, and clients who received meals prior to this are being contacted as a precaution.

The council will organise replacement meals for clients if needed, and will reimburse

clients for any meals that need to be destroyed.

Meal deliveries were to resume on Monday.

Acting chief health officer Dr Brett Sutton said testing on multiple food product samples collected at I Cook Foods returned six positive samples for listeria.

He said I Cook Foods would not reopen until further testing and improvements were made.

DHHS contacted the facilities the company supplied, including private hospitals, aged care centres and Meals on Wheels services, mostly in the eastern suburbs.

The company does not supply any public hospitals.

Ian Cook, i Cook Foods director, said his heart went out to the family of the woman who had died.

“We are working closely with the health authorities and our suppliers to determine how listeria may have been introduced to the ingredients we cook in our factory,” he said.

“The source of the listeria is yet to be determined, and the health department is still looking at which part of the food handling process was at fault.

“We’re a family business operating for more 30 years.

“We are horrified this has happened.

“We take our responsibility in the prepara-

tion and handling of food extremely seriously, and that is reflected in a report from the University of Melbourne to the Department of Health that found no contamination on any of our food handling or preparation areas or equipment.”

Listeria are a bacteria that can cause serious illness and in some cases death, particularly in vulnerable people.

Symptoms of listeriosis include muscle aches, fever, nausea and diarrhea.

In Australia each year about 150 people are hospitalised with listeriosis and about 15 people die.

People at greater risk from listeriosis include pregnant women, their unborn and newborn babies, the elderly and other people whose immune systems have been weakened by illness or drugs.

Eating foods contaminated with listeria is the most common way of contracting the illness.

The bacteria are common in the environment and can contaminate different types of food.

Listeria is tolerant to low temperatures so it can grow in food even if it is stored in the refrigerator.

There have been two cases of listeriosis so far this year, compared to nine for the same period in 2018. Victoria had 27 cases of listeriosis for the 2018 calendar year.

Falcons flying at night under LED light

By Jed Lanyon New LED lighting has been installed at Lilydale Sports Oval in hopes of the venue hosting night matches and boosting player numbers for teams for Lilydale Football Club.

President Anthony Simmons said the teams would no longer be restricted to using only half the field when training at night.

“We can utilise the whole of the ground now that the lights will be of a decent standard and playing will be safer for everyone,” he said.

“It decreases the traffic on the small section that was illuminated before, meaning that there is less wear and tear across the ground."

Seniors player Brad Lowe said that at certain times last season, their field turned black due to being overused.

The new lights came at a time of need after a sharp increase in female participation.

“Our first female team formed about four years ago and we knew we needed to secure decent facilities including proper showers, which we did fund, in order to attract more players,” Mr Simmons said.

The club now fields four girls and women’s teams.

One Falcon, Zoe, said she found her love for footy after her friend invited her to training.

“Being able to kick a footy for the first time and then kicking and joining in with the boys at school made me love football a bit more,” she said.

Lilydale players Jordan Potts, Brad Lowe, club president Anthony Simmons, Lachy Wilson, Sophie, Brylee, Zoe, Sophie, Millie and Tahlia.

“There is a really friendly and inviting environment that makes me want to keep coming back.

“It’s really fun."

The entire project is worth $205,000, with

$25,000 coming from Lilydale Football Club, $70,000 from the State Government’s Sport and Recreation Victoria grant program and $110,000 from Yarra Ranges Council’s sports field renewal program.

Crop sitter jailed A cannabis crop sitter who was living in Australia illegally has been jailed after police seized more than 112 kilograms of the plant at two Ferntree Gully drug houses.

The 24-year-old man was sentenced to 16 months in prison and will be deported to the US upon his release after he pleaded guilty to cultivation of a narcotic plant in a commercial quantity, and possessing a false document at the County Court on 7 February.

Ride with care Motorcycle fatalities have already more than tripled this year compared to the same time last year.

Of the 13 motorcycle fatalities on Victorian roads this year, six occurred in eastern Victoria.

With warmer weather expected for much of the state over the next week, police are urging motorcyclists to be careful.

Riders should ride to the conditions, wear protective boots, gloves, pants, jacket and helmet, and know their limitations.

Too sick for school

By Michael Doran With another school year underway, parents everywhere have to face the dilemma of when to keep sick children home from classes, be it for real or imagined ailments.

There was no such decision to be made 100 years ago when Victorian schools did not resume after the Christmas break due to the onset of the Spanish Flu epidemic.

The Age reported on 29 January 1919: "In ordinary circumstances State schools would resume on Monday next, but owing to the epidemic they will remain closed in the metropolitan area. Mr Lawson said the schools would be kept closed as long as there is considered to be any danger of infection."

Spanish Flu, which did not start in Spain, caused the death of between 50-100 million people worldwide, far more than the estimated 20 million killed in World War 1. In Australia deaths from Spanish Flu were more than 12,000 compared to the 60,000 Australians who died in the war.

When the outbreak hit Melbourne in December 1918, the border between Victoria and New South Wales was closed, public meetings of twenty or more people were prohibited, travel in long distance trains was restricted and loitering 'under the clocks' at Flinders Street station was strictly forbidden.

According to Yarra Valley historian, Anthony McAleer, the first local case recorded was the Lilydale Assistant Station Master in January 1919 and within a week another 13 cases were reported in the Shire.

Shire Health Officer Dr Arthur Syme arranged for free inoculation centres to be organised at Lilydale, Montrose, Wandin, Silvan and Monbulk with over 400 residents being inoculated and the new Elementary High School in Lilydale was altered to provide hospital accommodation.

Another 15 cases were reported in the district over the next month but with only one fatality, Miss Beatrice Leahy, the school was never used as a hospital.

We live in a great place Thank you! As this is my first column as your new local State Member of Parliament, I would like to extend my gratitude to you all, the people of Evelyn, for placing your trust in me to represent you.

I will always honour that trust.

I will listen to you and work hard for you, locally in our community and at Parliament in Spring Street. You deserve nothing less.

We live in a magnificent part of Victoria.

In the growing outer eastern suburbs where families seek to fulfil their dreams and provide the best for their children, I've heard your concerns about infrastructure challenges in and around the Kinley estate; on your behalf I'll continually appeal to the government for investment and outcomes around this area.

I'm proud, through the election campaign,

State of

Affairs Bridget Vallence Evelyn MP

to have achieved bi-partisan commitments for so many worthwhile needs in our community, including Mooroolbark's soccer pavilion redevelopment, assistance for Spectrum Journeys autism service and, most proudly, significant upgrades to the deteriorated facilities at Mount Evelyn's Special Developmental School.

In the famous Yarra Valley where family

farming businesses have flourished for generations to produce some of the world's finest produce, agribusinesses have diversified and innovated, with many running successful tourism enterprises that contribute to our local economy and create jobs.

In this part of the electorate, there was immense community momentum behind the campaign for upgrades to the dangerous intersection at Maroondah Highway and Killara Road in Coldstream, and it's fantastic to see this will now be delivered with federal funding.

More than anything, what binds the people in Evelyn, from the suburbs to the farmlands and from generation to generation, is aspiration and a deep sense of community.

Community organisations are places of shared experience and voluntary commit-

ment, and I'll always back the volunteer.

As we come through another fire season, and earlier this month commemorating 10 years since the horrific 2009 Bushfires I again thank our local CFA Brigades and the SES for their dedication in keeping us safe.

Finally, I congratulate Mount Evelyn RSL and Lilydale RSL for recently celebrating the exceptional milestones of formation 50 and 100 years ago respectively.

Particularly, to RSL volunteers who play an important role in our community providing much needed welfare to members who may at times feel isolated or need a helping hand, thank you.

Organisations like these that epitomise the volunteer spirit essential to the future of communities like ours.

Keep calm on recycling

By Casey Neill Yarra Ranges Council is urging residents to continue recycling, following recent reports of recycling plant closures.

Recycling provider SKM recently closed two recycling plants, meaning a number of councils in Victoria, including neighbouring Cardinia, have had to re-assess their recycling programs and make alternative plans.

Yarra Ranges Council uses VISY for its recycling collection and processing, and is confident that recyclables collected in the area will continue to be processed appropriately.

"VISY is continuing to receive and recycle

material from Yarra Ranges, and the recent closure of SKM's two recycling plants will not have any impact on our area," a council statement said.

"This means that recyclables collected in the area will not be diverted to landfill.

"We urge residents to continue separating their waste and recycling appropriately."

Cardinia Shire Council advised its residents that its recycling processor would temporarily cease accepting recyclable material at its processing facilities following a notice from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

"This is a temporary situation. Your recycling bin will continue to be collected from

your kerbside as normal during this period," the council said in a statement on social media.

"Although in the short term, we're disappointed we need to divert recyclable materials to landfill while the processor responds to the order.

"No one wants recyclable material to go to landfill - but our priority must be to protect the health and safety of the community."

The shire said it was one of many affected and was working hard investigating all immediate alternative options as well as longterm solutions to manage recycling services to households.

Gembrook MP Brad Battin said blamed the State Government's 'lack of action' for the situation.

"The former Liberal State Government put in place a plan for recycling when this issue was foreseen back in 2013-2014, Labor intentionally chose to ignore it," he said.

"Whilst the Labor Government have today pointed the finger the Federal Government, the Andrews Government have $500 million sitting in their account to combat the issue which they choose to leave untouched.

"This money should be used for new initiatives and business to get in control of waste before it's too late."

Selby tennis celebrates new kitchen and bathroom facilities upgrade through the 2018 Capital Development Grant Program.

Former club member Lyster Ward Cr Mike Clarke said the project would deliver long term benefits for the club and wider community.

"These grants allow clubs to improve facilities for everyone in the community to take part in sport and recreation facilities," Cr Clarke said.

"We want to maintain and upgrade the existing buildings so the clubs can continue to attract more team members and continue their success."

The Capital Development Grant Program provides financial assistance to not-for-profit organisations to improve sport and recreation infrastructure, so the community can keep active and participate in sport.

Secretary Kim Jones, members Daniel, Sue Burley, Julia Peeters, and Selby Tennis Club president Anthony Sanders 12411096-FA10-19

Selby Tennis Club members and local businesses have pitched in to complete upgrades to their kitchen and bathroom made possible by funding from Council's Capital Development Grants program.

Selby Tennis Club President Anthony Sanders said the upgrades had made a difference to the club, especially with the club growth in recent years.

"The old kitchen was run very rundown with cupboards falling off hinges, the oven door not shutting properly and the hot water service not operating very safely," he said.

"We have installed new carpet where previously we had slippery ceramic tiles which made walking on them quite tricky after bringing in dust from the courts.

"It would have been impossible for the club to financially support these renovations without the support of Council.

"We have also had some great support from local businesses and club members."

Battle of the billy carts

By Derek Schlennstedt The 13th annual Upwey Billy Cart Races raced down the main road of Upwey on Sunday 24 February.

About 1200 people turned out to watch the action and like other years, many incredible carts were presented on the day, with some great results enjoyed.

Co-organiser Peter Van Santen said it was a great day and thanked volunteers for their help in organising and holding the event.

“It’s all thanks to the Shire of Yarra Ranges, the Upwey Community Bank Branch of Ben-

digo Bank and of course our 80 volunteers who were working a variety of capacities, before, after and during the race,” Mr Van Santen said.

“Without them we couldn’t hold it.

“It was a great day and ended up having 102 races.”

For the first time Belgrave Police also attended the event, making sure that the speedsters didn’t exceed the speed limit.

“We had the police come and one of them used a speed gun and clocked 35km/h - the kids loved it, of course.”

Mail photographer Greg Carrick was on hand to capture all the action.

The action was thick and fast at the mid point of the course.

Darren Redman put on a good show for the Upper Ferntree Gully CFA entry.

Harry (12) of Emerald advances to the next heat with his win.

Leading Senior Constable Melinda Bailey-Taylor clocked the speedsters, with numerous cars all topping out at 36km/h.

Raising money for the CFA, one stitch at a time Quilting aficionados will flock to Monbulk in March, hoping to snag some crafty goodies and raise funds for the local CFA. The Monbulk Quilt Show is the biggest fundraising event for the local CFA each year and has become a favourite on quilters’ calendars across Victoria.

Last year the show raised $6000, with more than 400 people attending.

Mrs Martin’s Quilt Shop owner and event organiser Karen Martin, who was approached by the CFA to run the popular event many years ago, said she was only too happy to help with the worthy cause and invited residents to come along and support their local CFA. “I run a quilt show for the CFA every year and I have run that for I think 13 years,” she said.

“It’s a big day like a carnival, It’s bloody brilliant.

“This year we’ve got 10 or 12 trade tables within the hub and outside.

“CWA come and take a stand and sell and run a cake store all the money they raise goes to the fire brigade too.

“We have no expenses at all, everything we have is through donations and it all goes towards the CFA.” A major drawcard for the show are the showbags –filled with all sorts of crafty items donated by suppliers –which are presented to the first 100 people through the doors.

Ms Martin said the whole town had come together to celebrate the event with quilts hanging from the eaves of shops.

Entry to the show costs $5 and it is located at The Living and Learning Centre at Monbulk on Saturday, March 2, from 9.30am to 3:30pm.

Council backing kinders

By Derek Schlennstedt Yarra Ranges Council is supporting Wyndham Councils I Love Kinder Campaign which aims at lobbying the federal government to commit to recurrent kindergarten funding.

Families in the Yarra Ranges could be up to $2000 worse off if the federal government does not commit to its share of recurrent funding for four-year-old kindergarten.

That's the word from Yarra Ranges council, which is promoting the I Love Kinder campaign in a bid to pile on the pressure on the federal government to secure ongoing funding in the lead-up to the budget, which will be handed down on April 2.

Currently, the federal government has committed to funding five hours of kindergarten a

week for every four-year-old until the end of 2019, with the state government funding the remaining 10 hours.

In recent years, the federal government has extended the funding on a year-by-year basis, leaving families and kindergarten providers in limbo.

James Collins, Director of Social and Economic Development said the government needed to commit to recurrent kindergarten funding to provide certainty for Yarra Ranges families.

"Council is supporting the I Love Kinder campaign to ensure Yarra Ranges children learn valuable social and academic skills to prepare them for an enjoyable transition to primary school," Mr Collins said.

"Council believes early childhood educa-

tion should be affordable for young families and a commitment to funding from the Federal Government will provide financial certainty for them."

According to Yarra ranges Council statistics in the Yarra Rages alone, there is more than 1900 kids enrolled in 4-year-old kinder.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson said the upcoming Federal Budget and 2019 election provided Councils and the community with the opportunity to advocate to the Federal Government to provide families with certainty.

"We know our communities love their kindergartens, which is why a heart is being used as the campaign symbol - as well as asking the Prime Minister to "have a heart," Cr Stevenson said.

"The election will be held before 18 May

and this creates an immediate opportunity to build political pressure through a public campaign.

"Please sign the petition, which will be passed onto the Federal Government."

Member for Casey, Tony Smith told the Mail that he fully expected funding would be forthcoming.

"In 2019, $440 million of funding is being used to help fund kinders around Australia.

Our local kinders receive their share of this money via the State Government and Yarra Ranges Council," Mr Smith said.

"Knowing how important kinders are to young children, their families and the wider community, I fully expect that a national agreement will be finalised later this year, just like the last five annual agreements."

Meet CFA’s first Duke of Edinburgh recipients

By Derek Schlennstedt Amberliah Duffy and Tegan Hutchinson from Kalorama-Mt Dandenong brigade are the first Duke of Edinburgh (DoE) award recipients to complete their program through CFA. The internationally-recognised program, being piloted in District 13, acknowledges young people for their participation, community engagement and personal achievements.

The program is open to 14-24-year-olds, regardless of their background, and includes Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.

Participants are required to complete four sections at each level: Voluntary Service, Skill, Physical Recreation and Adventurous Journey.

Both Amberliah (16) and Tegan (20) completed their bronze award, and Amberliah will now undertake her silver level.

Amberliah, who has been in the CFA five

years, said completing the Duke Of Edinburgh was an amazing opportunity and she encouraged other young members to take up the opportunity.

"It was really great to be able to complete the DOE as part of my CFA experience," she said.

"One of the best parts was helping my junior leaders to run the junior brigade and training nights, and also helping with the planning of brigade activities. I also spent five days in Canberra learning about current-day politics and Australia's wartime history."

Tegan, who joined the brigade to gain new skills, meet people and challenge herself, said participating in the DOE program was an adventure and a constructive way to give back to the community.

"I loved that it was a challenge, something different where I had to take the initiative and tailor my experience to my likes and interest,

"My Adventurous Journey was particularly special. I spent a week on a houseboat in Echuca, learning how to steer and park the boat, operate the generator and other appliances, read

maps, and navigate the waterways."

The brigade's Junior Brigade Coordinator Gavin McNamara initiated the pilot with CFA's Volunteer Sustainability Team and said the program recognises that the who have completed it are going to be a more active members of their community.

"I was working with cadets undertaking their DOE through my role through the Australian Army Cadets, and decided to ask if juniors had the ability to sign-up to complete their DOE award through CFA," he said.

"Those who undertake the DOE Award will often continue their award activities after they finish the program. This is not only beneficial to the member, but also the community as a whole."

In addition to offering the DOE Award, CFA is also trailing the Compass Award within the District.

FERNY CREEK HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Growing a community The Ferny Creek Horticultural Society aims to promote and encourage the study, practice and development of horticulture while bringing together members of the community.

Established in 1932, the group was originally known as the Ferny Creek and Sherbrooke Horticultural Society. Their early shows were staged within the Ferny Creek Reserve Pavilion.

In 1956, plans were made to acquire land for the society's present site; however, it was not until November 1957 that the lands department advised that four acres of land would be set aside for an ornamental garden under the control of Ferny Creek.

"Incidentally the word 'Sherbrooke' was dropped in 1952," Ferny Creek Horticultural Society President Rex Shields said.

"Money was set aside for the purchase of plants to start the new garden. By 1965 the Department of Crown Land approved the extension of the garden by six and a half acres on the old tip site which was known as 'The Quarry Reserve.' This gave the society 10 plus acres of garden. The deal was finalised in 1967.

"Construction of the Horticultural Hall commenced in March 1969 thus finally giving the society a home of its own. As of now, the society is still in a very strong position holding three very successful shows a year, as well as a plant collector's sale and garden expo during March each year."

The Ferny Creek Horticultural Society is a self-funded volunteer organisation which is constituted to promote horticulture, bring into close association members of the community having a common interest in horticulture and provide and operate facilities for these purposes.

Other than at show times, the society holds a general meeting at the Hall at 2pm every sec-

The Ferny Creek Horticultural Society is a self-funded volunteer organisation which is constituted to promote horticulture. ond Saturday afternoon.

"A guest speaker is usually in attendance and the society endeavours to obtain a variety of speakers on a range of various plant groups," Mr Shields said.

"Sometimes one of the society's own members will give a talk, often about a visit to overseas gardens. We also encourage members to bring along something for show and tell at the meetings. Gardeners are always enthused

about plants grown by others.

"There is always a very nice afternoon tea to be had after the meetings - this also gives members a chance to have a chat and welcome newcomers to the society."

Flower shows are held three times each year, once in autumn (April) and twice in spring (September and late October).

The members support all the society's activities and funds raised go towards mainte-

nance of the garden and machinery, purchase of equipment and general infrastructure.

Working bees are held each Monday and Thursday mornings between 9am and noon, with a break for morning tea.

A newsletter is published several times a year and membership fees are low. For more information about the society, go to www.fchs. org.au.

OPEN DAYS AND SPECIAL EVENTS

For lifelong learning For some people the thought of education may stir up memories of school and carry an association that can best be described as a turbulent race to the finish line with little desire of ever returning. However, Cire Services said learning in fact extended far beyond primary and secondary experiences and was embedded in various parts of people's lives.

Whether it is in the form of tertiary education such as university, attending public lectures, listening to podcasts or reading books, there are more opportunities than ever before to engage in learning. But what is lifelong learning? Why should people pursue it? And how does it actually benefit the individual and community?

Cire Services said lifelong learning was the continuous building of skills and knowledge during one's life and occurred through experiences people faced in their lifetime.

Lifelong learning takes place at all stages of the life cycle and should be life-wide, meaning that it emerges out of all life contexts such as the workplace, home or community.

There are various forms of learning.

Formal learning consists of learning that occurs in an organised and structured context; non-formal learning consists of learning embedded in planned activities that are not explicitly designated as learning; and informal learning is defined as learning resulting from daily life activities.

The benefits of lifelong learning are varied and far-reaching, according to Cire Services.

www.cire.org.au

From a societal perspective, lifelong learning has been attributed to a decrease in crime and encourages people to participate in community activities.

In 2017 The Economist called lifelong learning an "economic imperative" and emphasised the need for continuous acquisition of new skills throughout a person's career.

Furthermore, older learners can engage with the community and provide a valuable service that benefits others.

Lifelong learning also benefits health and wellbeing, Cire Services said.

Research has shown that continuous learning helps improve memory and that people with more education are less likely to have dementia at old age.

Engaging in courses, workshops and programs can help people to make new friends and establish valuable relationships which improve interpersonal skills and reduce social isolation.

The process of continuous learning can also enable people to put their lives into perspective by increasing their understanding of past successes and failures and know themselves better.

No matter a person's age, Cire Services said there was a benefit to engaging in lifelong learning in a variety of forms.

Learning and education does not have to stop after high school or tertiary education, and many short courses and workshops exist in the community which can enhance lifelong learning.

Lifelong learning also benefits health and wellbeing.

St Paul's Primary School held its biennial country fair on Saturday 16 February.

School principal Michael Watt said "it was a smashing day which followed many months of preparation".

"The 2019 country fair offered all the trademarks of a magnificent festival with beautiful weather and a carnival-like atmosphere," he said.

"The children enjoyed a great selection of rides to keep them entertained and an amazing array of delicious foods were on offer. The stage featured a terrific afternoon of entertainment, a range of stalls were set up, silent auctions were held and raffles were won!"

Mr Watt said that "many people from the community worked together to make it a resounding success". He said the country fair was a whole community effort.

"There were contributions from individuals who prepped, managed and assisted on stalls, as well as involvement from many who assisted with set-up, overnight security and pack up," Mr Watt said.

"A positive vibe created by those who entertained on the stage throughout the afternoon, discreet efforts of many behind the scenes, the generosity of all our sponsors, the presence of so many families - both past, present and future and a general excitement that was created by everyone's positive attitude."

Major sponsors included Monbulk and District Bendigo Bank, MRE Property Marketing, Murphy's Mitre 10 Monbulk, PLM Financial, Lynx Property Improvements, The Watering Hole Tavern, Bell Real Estate and Dandenong Ranges Electrical.

Close finish for all

By Richard Millot Seven teams entered the final round of the Norm Reeves Shield season with the hopes of playing finals.

Minor premiers The Basin showed no signs of slowing down, defeating Knoxfield for their 11th win of the season.

The Bears lost just one wicket while cruising to victory with a final score of 1/152 Knoxfield's loss increased the significance of the match between Ferntree Gully Footballers and Eildon Park with the winner receiving the double chance finals matchup against The Basin.

The Panthers ended play at 8/209. The Griffens response was stifled by early wickets as the Panthers held them to 4/24 in the early proceedings. The Griffens lower order steadied their performance for the day but ultimately could only muster 8/157 as a reply.

The Bears will now host the Panthers in a

home qualifying final.

As the Griffens ended their season on 42 points, this left the door open for Upwey, who had the simple finals equation of 'win and be in'. While their opponents Johnson Park needed a win and a significant percentage boost in order to advance through to finals.

Upwey's Quinten Wells lead the way with 47 runs supported well from Julian Whetstone with 35 to get the Tigers to 169 as Coby Law claimed 4/28 for the Sharks. Steve Devenish answered the call of the Sharks, his 50 leading the way to a last-round win to finish 5/170.

Despite the win, Johnson Park misses out on playing finals on percentage, finishing seventh on 42 points.

Knox Gardens' finals aspirations also involved the requirement to win and gain percentage, with the Falcons playing host to Ferntree Gully. Batting first, the Falcons hit 7/190 from their overs with Joe Morsello reaching 54, despite Jake Evans claiming 3/36 for the Blues.

Ferntree Gully required one run per ball in the final ten overs setting up an exciting end to the season. A runout in the final over with just 4 runs required for victory left the Blues at 187.

Despite the win, the Falcons came up short on knocking the Griffens out of fourth place, missing out by 0.07%.

Knoxfield will play the Ferntree Gully Footballers in an Elimination Final.

PROVISIONAL LADDER - NORM REEVES SHIELD The Basin - 66pts, 1.87% Eildon Park - 48pts, 1.23% Knoxfield - 48pts, 1.13% Ferntree Gully Footballers - 42pts, 1.35% Knox Gardens - 42pts, 1.28% Upwey - 42pts, 1.00% Johnson Park - 42pts, 0.91% Belgrave - 12pts, 0.68% Upper Ferntree Gully - 12pts, 0.61% Ferntree Gully - 6pts, 0.60%

making 30 and Matt Abrahams on 39*.

The under 13's took on St. Johns Tecoma/ Belgrave and strategically bowled first. Wickets were shared amongst Abel Teese 1/9, Jacob Defina 1/6, Joel Prys and Will Tyquin 1/13, with the Saints making 5/105. There were stars aplenty with the bat, with Tim Rickard 36*, Lucas McIntosh 21* and Todd Mackay 19 all making runs, steering the total to 3/126.

The Fast 9's went down to the Footballers in a good all round effort, especially in the field with good catching by Kit Sutton, Lucas Hickingbotham and Jed Fraser. With the bat Ethan Knight 26*and Lucas Hickingbotham 18* made the runs to get the score to 6/111. Jed Fraser (2/6) and Bailey Pascoe (2/11) tried hard with the ball however the Footballers made 6/111.

The Super 7s lost to Eildon Park in a close tussle. The Hawks made 6/119 with Jasper Beer making 12 runs. Jasper was also everywhere in

the field, getting 3 run outs and 2 stumpings.

Micah Hodgkinson took 2/7 in a great display, but Eildon Park was able to make 7/125.

By Chris Anderson With two rounds remaining, the race for finals is still well and truly in full swing.

In brilliant conditions for batting, it was the bowlers who took the honours on day one of round 14 action.

Disciplined slow bowling seemed to be the order of the day as the slower bowlers made the batsmen work extra hard for their runs.

Warburton-Millgrove elected to field first against competition leader Mount Evelyn with an eye on strangling their opposition on a painfully slow Mac Sparke Oval.

When Pat Heaphy was the man to fall, courtesy of a neat run out, the score crawled to 139.

Warburton-Millgrove will enter day two as rightful favourites to chase down the score.

Yarra Junction hosted Healesville in a key clash for both teams. Healesville needing to win their final two games if they are to be a chance to sneak into the top four.

Meanwhile, Yarra Junction has shown glimpses this season, but their inconsistencies, particularly with the bat, have proven costly to the flow of their season.

Yarra Junction won the toss and elected to field taking some pressure of their faltering batting line up.

Dale Senior was in form, and was the mainstay of the innings contributing a fine half century. His wicket with the score in 5/105 would start to push the innings towards a quick close.

Right across the day, Healesville would look threatening, only to hand the advantage back to the Eagles through regular wickets.

A quick rear-guard action from Glen Poynton at the close of the innings pushed the score to 140 when the last wicket fell.

The Eagles were well serviced by all their bowlers as they put together another disciplined performance that left the Bloods searching for runs.

Like most games across the Yarra Valley this season, it was spin that would prove the most effective with Rhys Matthews 4/33 and Kevin Bomford 2/28 stifling things through the middle of the innings.

An early wrap up of the innings, gave Yarra Junction a tricky period of 14 overs to see out the day. Despite losing night watchman Terry Ottrey, the Eagles took full advantage of the bonus overs, and closed the day on 1/41.

In the final game of the round, Seville hosted Wandin in a key clash in the race to secure a home final.

The unbeaten Blues bowled first in perfect batting conditions. Wandin simply had no answers to Seville’s plans and their execution of those plans.

The Bulldogs would fight tooth and nail, but couldn’t find the right balance between disciplined defence and attacking stroke play.

The Bulldogs had faltered with the bat for the second week running and were dismissed for a disappointing 68.

1187559-RC24-15

Monbulk travelled to Rowville for the final game of the home and away season. Rowville needed to win to confirm their spot for the finals. Monbulk bowled first and made early inroads to have their opposition 2/36 with wickets to Braden Taeuber and Duncan Maher. A 110 run partnership followed at four an over, before Craig Broekhof spun his magic to claim four wickets in a three over stretch. Rowville finished their 40 overs at 8/188. The Hawks chase got off to an excellent start and with 100 runs needed off 90 balls the game was in the balance. Opener Aaron Bermingham finally fell with the score at 107 for a well-made 42, and Jason Fraser also got a start of 16 before going out at 4/149. The equation was now 35 off 42, but the last six wickets were lost for just 12 runs, and the Hawks went down for 10/161.

The 3's took on Knox Gardens and batted first. Constant wickets fell throughout the innings, with several players making double figures, with the score eventually landing at 9/114 off the 35 overs. Knox Gardens batsmen didn't fare much better, being bowled out for 100. The 3rds have made the finals and will playoff next week for a spot in the grand final.

The 4's headed to Belgrave to play their final home and away game for the season.

Bowling first, after an early wicket to Brayden Horlock, Belgrave pushed the score to 4/145.

They didn't lose another wicket from there, finishing their 35 overs on 220. Monbulk's innings was full of action, with the score quickly at 3/49. With few players registering double figures, the Hawks lost finishing up 7/131.

The under 14's had a cracker of a start to their two day game managing to hold Belgrave to a measly 58, with Kayle Dharmadasa taking a bag of 5/4. In reply the young Hawks were well placed at 3/129 with Camden McLean

Blues remain unbeaten

Lilydale hosted Monbulk 1 on Tuesday 19 February, Graeme Coller's rink was the standout performance for Monbulk still wasn't enough as Lilydale claimed a 66-51 victory.
