"Hairdressing has never been a passion but I've certainly had a good 43 years of working in the industry." Tributes to Mr Rayment have already poured in with the Sherbrooke Foothills Historical Society paying homage to the salon and the man behind it. "Andrew has been an active local community member since his schoolboy days when he went to Belgrave South State School and then Upwey High," they said on a Facebook post.

"Volunteering with Puffing Billy and executive roles with the Belgrave Trader Association, Andrew has been tireless in his efforts to improve conditions in Belgrave." In a departing message Mr Rayment thanked everyone for their contribution and kindness. "I will miss Belgrave and the many clients I have had the privilege of getting to know over my 43 years working at Mountain View Hairdressing," he said. "You will probably never know how much your conversations have meant to me and shaped who I am."

After countless washes, cuts and blow-drys, Andrew Rayment owner of Mountain View hairdressing is hanging up the scissors. He has been shampooing, cutting and styling the locks of Dandenong Ranges residents since 1976 and the popular figure has become an integral member of the Belgrave community, with his service extending to the local traders' association and Puffing Billy. Speaking to the Mail, Mr Rayment said he never had much ambition to become a hairdresser. "My dad and I came in there to get our haircut and the owner at the time had only opened the business less than a year before that," he said. "He said to me, 'I need an apprentice to replace my other one, would you be interested?'" "I'd never even considered hairdressing and back then it was barbering and men's hairdressing and I nearly laughed at him." "He and my parents talked me into it though." Mr Rayment has been there ever since, and he eventually bought the business. Though, after 43 years Mr Rayment said it was time to move on and left the quaint salon in Belgrave for the very last time on Thursday, 28 February. He said he was looking forward to the new chapter in his life but was sad to leave behind his clients. "I'm going to miss it," he said. "I've certainly got an affinity with Belgrave and I guess that's the thing that's kept me here. "It's been very good in that way as I've got to know a lot of people over a lot of years and
SOCIALLY SPEAKING...
LETTERS Hard garbage Yarra Ranges Council garbage collection is a mess because it is not co-ordinated with rubbish everywhere. If overseas visitors visited the shire they would be shocked with the mess. Surely it would be more sensible to allocate certain weeks to specific areas eg Monbulk and Silvan as one area and so forth. The crap around the area does not look good for weeks on end. Bruce Johnson, Silvan

Yes, the very worst of the horrendous corrugations that we have been living with were smoothed over. Come on council. Don't you think it is about time that you stopped lying to residents and started treating ALL ratepayers equally and fairly? M. Rice, Monbulk

Old road, old troubles I write again about this road. Late last year I visited the Monbulk Hub to ask the council staff of any planned works on the already made section of Old Emerald Road. As there had been surveyors along the road I thought that works must be planned. I was assured that nothing was in the planning pipeline and besides, council did not have any money at all, not a cent to spend on that road. (A story consistent with what residents of the dirt section have been told by council for years now - there is no money for this road, none at all.) Well surprise, Santa must have left a huge wad of cash in the council stocking because come the new year, work started on the already made section of this road. There are newly-completed extensive drainage works from the soccer centre to Glenview Road and the road is being widened prior to being resurfaced. All at no cost to those ratepayers on this section of the road. Yes, it's the gold plate with cake, whipped cream and a cherry on top service. But for those of us on the dirt section, we shouldn't feel aggrieved. Council flicked us a crumb by way of a grade.

David Keys was a member of Monbulk Christian Fellowship for 35 years and it’s pastor for the last 22 years so it is not unexpected that his passing has left a shadow over the fellowship. Fellowship member Iris Schuurmans thanked the local community for their condolences. “To the community of Monbulk and surrounding areas, we send a most sincere thankyou for the love and support that has been extended to us with the sudden passing on the 19th November 2018 of our beloved Pastor David Keys,” she said. “We all have missed his presence and contribution so much and whilst our grief is still a little raw we have been so blessed by the many contacts made by so many gracious folk to extend condolences to us all.” “David’s Memorial Service was standing room only as so many folk from the past de-
cades came to show their respect and honour the man that had spoken into their lives over all those years. His impact has been profound and many found his manner reassuring and the grace he extended was sometimes challenging but always true and comforting. The fellowship has announced that they have inducted Bruce and Lynne Laird to the pastoral role from February 10th. “Bruce and David were colleagues together and have shared many ministry times together. Bruce and Lynne have a long record of pastoral ministry focused on the growth of individuals,” Iris said. Monbulk Christian Fellowship Church is located at 84B Old Emerald Road, Monbulk and welcome anyone who might like to visit services at 10.00am on Sunday Mornings. Bruce is available to chat with anyone, whether or not you attend the fellowship, on Tuesdays at the Church Building and looks forward to being an active part of the Monbulk Community.

One map to rule them all By Derek Schlennstedt One map to rule them all, one map to find them. One map to bring them all, and in the Yarra Ranges bind them. The map looks like something ripped from the pages of a Tolkien book: pyramidal mountains like sharp teeth, forests of glyph-like trees, hand-inked names and even a dragon or two. But instead of Middle Earth, Brunswick cartographer Adam Mattinson is charting The Yarra Ranges shire, and it looks not unlike the shire from the Lord of The Rings. Mr Mattinson creates in depth and complex maps and also likes Lord of The Rings. So, in August 2017 he decided to bring the two together. "I'm definitely a fan of the Lord of The Rings and Tolkien's books, and one of the things that captured my imagination reading them was the maps, so I thought I'd recreate that for our own little backyard," he said. "I grew up in Mount Evelyn, and went to school in Mount Evelyn, and I feel like the area and landscape of the region lends itself to the Lord of The Rings-esque map." Covering the entirety of the Yarra Ranges Shire, the map extends from Marysville all
Mr Mattinson is creating a map of the Yarra Ranges Shire in the style of Lord of The Rings the way down to Ferntree Gully and across to Gembrook. I Started drawing in my home town of Mount Evelyn, continued it out to Wandin and Seville, and Lilydale, and because the shire is in the Lord of The Rings I thought I might as well include the entire Yarra Ranges Shire. Having since moved to Brunswick, Mr Mattinson said making the map has brought back his love for the area. "In making the map, you remember all these areas you visited as a kid." "Recently I've been working on things around The Patch and Macclesfield and it really is a nice area and rekindles that interest and love for the region."
Pick up for the platypus By Derek Schlennstedt We all leave traces of our presence behind as we move through our environment. Our skin cells, hair, saliva, or blood persist in places we have been. DNA can be taken from these cells to identify us, just like in crime shows. Animals are no exception - they leave DNA behind as they swim, crawl, and walk through their various habitats, and just like the criminals who inevitably leave behind traces of their DNA, so too do Platypuses leave behind their evidence. Tania Preston is one of the people whose duty it is to track these mammals and on Clean Up Australia Day, was collecting samples from Monbulk Creek and also held a clean-up event to ensure the future of these unique and shy creatures in the area. "We know that from previous surveys of platypus in Monbulk Creek that they're actually quite locally endangered ... these are the last platypus that live in the whole Dandenong catchment," Melbourne Water Waterwatch coordinator Tiana Preston said. "They used to be found in other parts of the catchment but have sinces receded, so Melbourne water is doing a lot of work to try and improve the habitat in that area and try and keep the existing population we have." Tania said that the few remaining platypus in the Dandenong Catchment are at risk of being entangled in rubbish. "Anything in the street goes into the near-

A shared passion for producing the finest quality lilies in Australia has seen Rob and Mariske de Wit in Silvan build a multi-million dollar vertically integrated company that produces up to six million stems of specialist lilies and Dutch iris annually. The pair was part of a select few Victorian farmers who were nominated for the 2018 Farmer of The Year Awards. Speaking to the Mail, Rob de Wit said passion, innovation and a fair dose of Dutch courage led to the success of their business. “Me and my wife grew the business from 1999 onwards,” Mr de Wit said. “I grew up on a bulb farm in Holland and my dad was a bulb grower ... I decided to come down to Australia backpacking and liked it so much that I decided to set up shop. “We started small, with nothing really- just growing flowers from seed and after one or two years we started growing lilies and iris.” In a little over 20 years, the de Wits have transformed that small family flower-growing business into a multi-million dollar flower producer that sells wholesale flowers to premium markets in Melbourne and interstate. The pair was nominated for the Farmer of the Year Awards, with particular emphasis on their continuous innovation in the industry.

"I didn't start off with the idea of selling it but if it sparks that imagination within people and shared interest then that's kind of a cool bonus." You can keep track of the map and its progress by visiting Mr Mattinson's Facebook at "Adam Mattinson Maps."

The old Monbulk township When the depression of the 1890s followed the collapse of the land boom, Village Settlements for subsistence farming were seen as one way of addressing the problem of massive unemployment. The Dandenong Forest Village Settlement was cut out from the forest reserve and opened for selection in 10 acre blocks. The township of Monbulk was so named because it was the largest settlement in the new Parish of Monbulk. Although Monbulk opened for selection in 1893, the area was used for many years before then by timber getters and gold fossickers. The post office opened on 19 May 1898. The original town of Monbulk was opposite the primary school and for many years had just three shops to serve its residents.
Looking
back Jill A’Vard
Monbulk Historical Society president There was Nation’s General Store, the post office and store run by sisters Annie and Sarah Siddle, and the drapery store which also sold confectionery. The store owners’ residences were behind their shops.
In 1900 Jane Nation opened the general store in Monbulk while her husband Robert ran Nation’s Coaches, a carrying business and coach service between Monbulk and the train station in Belgrave. His son Will later operated the service that continued at least until World War I. Mr and Mrs A. E. Hopton and their two daughters, Marg and Bess, ran the store from 1921 when the town was still without electricity and the water supply came from household tanks. The Methodist Church land was purchased for £13.2.5 ($24) in 1903 and the building completed soon after by volunteers. Mr and Mrs Williams bought the drapery shop opposite the Mechanics’ Institute Hall in 1914 and later sold it to Miss Fowler and Miss Bray in 1925.
Confectionery on one side and haberdashery on the other satisfied both mothers and children. Mr and Mrs Hefford opened a garage and milk bar opposite the end of David Hill Road in about 1950. Dave Lane opened his garage and taxi service next door to where the panel shop is now. The Monbulk Primary School started life in 1897 as The Dandenong Forest Village Settlement State School but was renamed Monbulk State School in 1899. The small school building and nearby hall burnt down in the 1913 bushfire so classes were held in the Methodist Church across the road until the school was rebuilt on the same site on the corner of Main Street and David Hill Road.

Life-saving gifts By Derek Schlennstedt Seventeen community groups and organisations around the Dandenong Ranges are now armed with defibrillators. The Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group launched its Defibrillator Sponsorship program in 2018 and presented the Cardiac Science G5 Automatic External Defibrillator machines to the 17 groups on 25 February. These units along with the units gifted to chemists in Upwey and Belgrave last year bring the total of the defibrillator sponsorship program to $52,500. According to new research in January 2019, more lives than ever are being saved by defibrillators in public areas. The latest Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry (VACAR) Annual Report shows
that 82 people were shocked using a publicly accessible defibrillator in 2017-2018 - two more than the previous year and the most on record. The Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group Chairman John Waters said it was great to offer these life saving devices to so many groups in the community. "These units are provided so that in the case of an emergency they are close at hand and can be used if an ambulance is too far away," he said. "We hope they are never used, but are pleased that there are now 17 additional AED's in our community should the need arise." Each group receiving an AED will also be given face to face training by Defib for Life. Gembrook Riding Club, St Thomas Mores Parish, Ash Wednesday Bushfire Education
Centre, Tecoma Primary School, Upwey South Primary School, Metropolitan Traffic Education Centre, Belgrave Men's Shed, Dandenong Ranges RSL Sub Branch, Upwey Township Group, 1st Upwey Scout Group, Upwey Tecoma Community Recreational and Sporting Hub, Lysterfield Primary School, Kallista-The Patch Fire Brigade, Kalorama-Mt Dandenong CFA, Emerald CFA, Emerald SES and Olinda Rural Fire Brigade all received an AED. "This is a great outcome for our communities and another example of how the community's banking business produces great benefits," Senior Group Manager Mike Fleming said. "Our three branches in Upwey, Belgrave and Cockatoo all have community groups represented in tonight's presentation and this is an outstanding effort ."
Community input into bushfire planning By Derek Schlennstedt Land and fire management agencies are calling on the public to help inform strategic bushfire management planning for high bushfire risk communities in Melbourne's east, including the Yarra Ranges. Strategic bushfire management planning is a multi-agency process that addresses the risks posed by bushfires on both public and private land. It uses the latest science and technology and draws on community values that need protecting. Forest Fire Management Victoria Regional Manager Forest and Fire Planning Damien Taylor said that so far communities in the Dandenong Ranges, the mountain foothills, and further afield have told FFM that the most
important things to protect include; "human life, private property, the natural environment, human health and well-being, infrastructure, regional economies and cultural heritage." "We've heard that communities in eastern Melbourne want better support for landowners to undertake bushfire mitigation activities, and that they want education and information about bushfire risk," he said. "We now need community input into bushfire management strategies to help us strike the right balance. "This feedback will inform our bushfire management strategies and guide future work such as fuel management, targeted community engagement, and prioritisation of government resources."

Graffiti gripe Strong moves are afoot to address the ongoing issue of tagging and graffiti in the Hills. A combination of street art, police presence and a forthcoming public forum aims to engender a more positive approach to those wielding spray cans. This public forum will be held in Selby and will feature powerful street art taken from recent travels in the Middle East. During his travels forum organizer Karl Williams fund that wherever he encountered street art with profound political and social meaning there was practically no evidence of vandalism or mindless tagging. "It seems that youth in the Middle East are forced to grow up quickly and become politicised, and one of their means for self-expression is the spray can" said Mr. Williams. "They turn to street art because they're pushing hard to change the system. But in the Hills there are obviously a lot of apolitical kids without much to say for themselves, sad to say. "To get them passionately engaged in building a better world isn't going to be easy, but it may be the best long term solution." The Belgrave Traders Association will also be represented at the forum, as they themselves have been addressing the tagging problem with a number of creative approaches. "In recent years we've been funding youth teams to beautify the town centre with striking murals" said Traders president Kean Flanagan. "Belgrave is now enjoying a reputation for its innovative street art, especially with environmental themes, and if the art is seen to be high quality, then it's respected by taggers and left alone." Selby Community House organises four public forums a year, and the house has a vested interest in its own forthcoming forum. "Street Art vs. Graffiti" will be held at the house on Wednesday March 13, starting at 7pm. All are welcome not only to attend, but to voice their opinion. A gold coin is requested to cover costs.

New music horizons seen By Derek Schlennstedt If you ever have the urge to make music but never had lessons as a kid — or gave it up due to time constraints — don't despair because the Dandenong Ranges New Horizons Band helps adults learn or re-learn a musical instrument in a fun social environment. It doesn't matter how old you are, you can learn to play an instrument and have fun at the same time. As part of an annual weekend workshop in March the New Horizons Concert Band is opening its doors to the public for a unique chance to see them perform a range of songs. Conductor Brian Hogg, said members of New Horizons come from all walks of life with some having never played an instrument
Brian Hogg and the Dandenong Ranges New Horizons Band. 190647 while others being retired music professionals. "This is our eleventh year with this group, started in primarily for adults who wanted to play but never did, or people that played left instruments and then came back." "At the moment we've got 30 people in the band at all levels of experience.
"We have one person who played in one of the military bands and another who played professionally for years and he is probably our oldest member at 98 and still playing. "There's a real range of experience levels in the group, and as a band we play stuff that suit us as an ensemble and something that everybody can play." Every year the ensemble hold a major workshop and over a period three days are taught a range of songs which they then play in front of an audience of family and friends. "On the Thursday they will get some music for the first time and then on the Saturday they are expected to play it," Mr Hogg said. "It's a fairly short lead time to learn four or five new pieces ... it's about being able to demonstrate to themselves and family and
friend that this is what we've done in the last few days."

Splish, splash, doggos are taking a bath By Derek Schlennstedt As dog owners it is your civic duty to spend your public Labour Day holiday by taking your special pupperino to a pool paddling puppy extravaganza at Belgrave. Yep, you read that correctly. The brilliant folks at the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool are once again holding their annual puppy pool party which means your floofy child can splash around to their hearts content for one whole hour. On the last day of the season without a load pesky swimmers to get in their way the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool - which is normally reserved exclusively for humans - gives dogs the opportunity to have full use of the pool to perfect their doggy paddle before it closes for winter. The event will be held on 11 March at the
Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool from 6-7pm. The date may change however so keep updated by visiting the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool Facebook page.

WE’RE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF TESTING NEW SAFETY TECHNOLOGY IN THE AREA As part of the Victorian Government’s Powerline Bushfire Safety Program, AusNet Services is installing leading edge technology to reduce the risk of powerline related bushfires in your area. You may experience power outages while we test the new safety technology As we start to install and test the technology, you may experience interruptions to your electricity supply. Planned outages are necessary to carry out the work safely. However, you may also experience the occasional unplanned outage as we integrate leading edge technology into the network for the first time. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience while we implement this important safety initiative.
We will do everything we can to make sure that any disruption is minimised.
Important safety information you should know Local residents and communities still need to ensure their Bushfire Plan is up to date and understood by everyone. While AusNet Services and the Victorian Government believe these upgrades to the network will make a real difference in reducing the risk of bushfires, it is important to note that the technology, known as Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiter (REFCL), does not eliminate all risk of bushfires from powerlines.

RSL’s solid ground By Derek Schlennstedt Upwey locals will be able to enjoy a new and improved parking area when visiting the Upwey-Belgrave RSL, following the completion of $100,000 worth of upgrades. Member for Monbulk James Merlino MP officially opened the renovated parking facilities on 1 March, which were funded through the Veterans Major Capital Works Grant Program. Rainfall had eroded much of the carpark's paving, making it hazardous for RSL visitors and staff and the funding was used to make the surface safe and improve access. "Upwey-Belgrave RSL has been doing wonderful work to engage veterans and the local community, and hopefully the new carpark will make it easier for them to get even more people into the RSL," Mr Merlino said. "It will go a long way to encouraging even more guests and members to the Upwey-Belgrave RSL, where they can enjoy a meal and good company. The Upwey-Belgrave RSL committee, including President David Eaton and Secretary Mark Addison, have been working hard to build up the membership and financial sustainability of the RSL. The upgraded parking facilities will support these plans. The Veterans Capital Works Major Program is a new initiative announced in the 2018/19 Victorian Budget. Details about a second round of grant funding for the Veterans Major Capital Works Grant Program and the Veterans Minor Capital Works Grant Program will be announced soon. Interested organisations should contact the DPC grants hotline on 1300 366 356

Cancer fight By Jed Lanyon Several Yarra Ranges medical centres are taking part a world-first clinical trial in hopes of finding the most effective strategies for preventing cervical cancer. Mount Evelyn Medical Surgery and Selby Family Medical Clinic are among the participants in the Compass Trial by VCS Foundation and Cancer Council NSW. It's Australia's largest ever clinical trial, but the goal is to recruit 8000 more women aged 25 to 38 to take part. Results from the first phase of the trial supported major changes to the National Cervical Screening Program in 2017. Participating general practitioner Dr Anita Munoz of Midtown Medical Clinic in Melbourne said she was honoured to contribute to the data that would ultimately improve screening processes here and around the world. “This trial is a powerful example of women helping other women,” she said. “If we can confirm the best way of screening using the HPV test, the Compass Trial will completely change the direction of how we screen and prevent cervical cancer globally. “The Compass Trial is a remarkable Australian medical milestone and I’d encourage all eligible women and practitioners to become a part of scientific history." VCS Foundation is hoping to have 82,303 participants take part. It's currently available at more than 570 practices. Eligible women who are interested in helping are encouraged to call the Compass hotline on 1800 611 635 to find their nearest participating practice and make an appointment to sign up.

By Derek Schlennstedt Are you feeling thirsty? Well, you're in luck because that thirst will soon be quenched by Thirsty Merc who are coming to town and playing at Sooki lounge on 10 March. The band is best known for its song Summer Time which is the theme song for the television programme Bondi Rescue. Thirsty Merc formed in Sydney in 2002, and independently released their latest album Shifting Gears back in 2015. They are best known for songs like 'Someday, Someday', '20 Good Reasons' and (of course) 'In The Summertime', all of which will be played at the Belgrave venue, said the bands frontman Rai Thistlethwayte. Though, he noted that this gig would be different to the previous times they've played there and said it would be a more intimate and

acoustic experience. "This one is going to be a three piece show, so it'll be a little more intimate," he said. "It'll be a little more showcasing the songs and musicality of the players ... we've found doing some of these gigs harks back to the acoustic albums." Of course, the audience can also expect that classic rock atmosphere which Thirsty Merc are known for. "You can expect the same thing from any Thirsty Merc show - a lot of singing along and a lot of love in the room, and there will be a lot of tunes that are really the same sort of stuff that we've been doing since 2002." "Really looking forward to it ... it's always a really healthy crowd and good vibe and it's just one of the great gigs on the circuit."

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GREAT
Feeling better naturally Through good communication, knowledge and an approach of getting to the cause of problems, the Natural Healing Centre in Ferny Creek has been helping people to regain their health and vitality for over 35 years. Through physical and emotional problemsolving, increased education and tailoring individual programs for clients, the Natural Healing Centre believes that good health is a condition that can be achieved and is well worth having. "Our approach is simple and our methods are effective. We adopt specific programs designed for the individual," Natural Healing Centre manager Connie Curato said. "Our methods encourage the body to activate its own inherent ability to heal itself. We stock a variety of practitioner-only supplements and do-TERRA oils that our practitioners can recommend." The Natural Healing Centre is unique in that all complementary therapies practitioners are multi-disciplinary. As such, patients can usually get all the complementary therapies treatments needed from one practitioner. However, should patients require a more specialised aspect of care, then it is quick and easy to be referred in-house. "Some of the areas we specialise in are stress and anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, neck and back pain, liver and kidneys conditions, skin conditions as well as thyroid problems," Connie said. "We adopt treatments such as homeopathy, massage therapies, iridology, nutritional and herbal medicine, non-invasive anti-ageing treatments and many more." Current practitioners at Ferny Creek's Natural Healing Centre include naturopaths Ner-

HERB & CHILLI FESTIVAL 2019
The Yarra Valley’s spice
Logan from California found the tequila chilli shots a bit too much at last year's event. Welcome to Australia, Logan! test spring roll and dim sims and Australia's leading hot sauce companies will also be on site. And for the sweet tooth, there are handmade chocolates, desserts and fresh fruit ice creams available. It is also a chance to stock up the pantry with an amazing range of sauces, herbs, spices, rubs, blends, relishes and chutneys - not to mention some unusual snacks like salami, jerky, pate and Turkish delight. The 2019 Herb and Chilli Festival will take place on 16 to 17 March from 10am to 5pm at 125 Quayle Road in Wandin. For more information and tickets, visit www.herbchillifestival.com.au.
The Koper family of Narre Warren loved the Mexican atmosphere at the 2018 festival.
Crowds flock to the festival.
12412709-DJ11-19
The Yarra Valley Herb and Chilli Festival started in 2012 as a local celebration of the taste and health benefits of using herbs and chillis. The festival was started by Clive and Di Larkman as a way to promote their range of herbs, chillis and other edibles grown under the Renaissance Herbs' brand. They are true foodies and have a great love of food, wine and everything related. They also have a passion for doing things right from day one and making sure that they always deliver a product above expectations. They wanted their festival to be a fun, family event at which everyone involved has an amazing time and are pleased to be there. "The festival has become a must-attend part of the food and wine scene in Melbourne," Clive said. "It is a two-day celebration of how we use herbs and chillis in our daily lives through the presentation of food and drinks, sauces, plants and cultural gear associated with those cuisines that focus on spice and flavour. "There will be a food court with dishes from 15 plus cuisines, four stages: lectures, cooking demonstrations, relaxed music and cultural dance and bands. Also, the Australian Chilli Cook-off is on each day. The competition stage has the Hellfire Chicken Wing Challenge, 'Tequila Shot and Holler' and the Captain Chilli eating competition. Each year we add a new competition like this year's addition of 'Chilli Snag Eating'." The festival is a family event so entry for under 14s is free and there is a kid's area with jumping castles, face painting, pony rides and an animal farm (which are also all free).

Choosing a secondary school is one of the biggest decisions faced by parents. There are many factors to consider and visitors often ask about the advantages of an allgirls education when on a tour of Mater Christi College Belgrave, a contemporary Catholic Secondary School for girls. "We believe that girls learn differently to boys, that they are motivated and respond in different ways. Our student-centred culture celebrates those differences and the 'can do' energy of girls," Principal Mary Fitz-Gerald said. The Alliance of Girls Schools (Australasia) has summarised some of the key research findings about single-sex education. Five reasons they believe an all-girls' school are different includes their academic advantages, their female role models and leadership teams, their ability to counteract negative influences, their tailored curriculum for girls as well the countless opportunities they provide in regards to subject and career selection. "Mater Christi College students also enjoy a future-focused curriculum. They are moti-
vated learners who graduate with leading academic and vocational results and the confidence to pursue their dreams," Ms Fitz-Gerald said. "Our progressive learning environment and innovative programs engage students, creating flexible and confident learners, prepared for their futures in a changing world. The college is easily accessible by dedicated buses and public transport links to most Eastern and South-Eastern suburbs and only five minutes' walk from Belgrave Station. "A visit to Mater Christi College will enable your family to witness a vibrant, inclusive and warm community where girls feel safe, build lifelong friendships and become intelligent and reflective learners," Ms FitzGerald said.

All the fun of the fair 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.

please contact the college on 9758 2000 or welcome@stjosephs.com.au. St Joseph's College is at 5 Brenock Park Drive, Ferntree Gully. 12413239-DJ11-19
St Joseph’s College is a Catholic boys’ secondary school located in Ferntree Gully which operates in the traditions of Don Bosco. Founded in 1965, the college has a student population of just over 1,050 boys from Years 7 to 12. St Joseph’s is a leader in boys’ education, providing a Salesian education that inspires dynamic learning that is life-focused, personcentred and built on the respect between teacher and student. The broad and innovative curriculum and co-curriculum caters for the needs of all students, both academically and emotionally. St Joseph’s College first opened its doors in 1965 as one of a series of regional colleges which the Melbourne Catholic Education Department was building in strategic parts of the Archdiocese. Father Colin Miller, Parish Priest of Ferntree Gully at the time, was a great devotee of St John Bosco and keen supporter of the Salesians. He was a driving force behind the project to build St Joseph’s College and for it to come under the care of the Salesians. A strong Salesian presence is still an integral part of the college today. The college was built on land belonging to the Ferntree Gully parish and with 56 students studying Form 1 (Year 7 today) it was little more than a corridor flanked by three classrooms, a small office and a storeroom. Each year the college facilities grew and more year levels were added to cater for the many students travelling from the surrounding parishes. Through the years the college has continued to expand and diversify to include a wide range of innovative programs and curriculum for boys from Years 7-12. The college is hosting a Community Fun

Flintoff is making her state debut Tess Flintoff made history this week, becoming the first Female from the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association to play for a Victorian XI. The former Knox Gardens junior has had a meteoric rise through Cricket Victoria's High Performance program, who was playing locally only 4 seasons back. Nowadays, Flintoff is Captain of Victorian Under 18 Women's Team and plays for Ringwood Rams in the Victorian Premier League. Flintoff, who turns 16 later this month, played as part of the Victorian squad to play
Tess Flintoff is a rising star among junior cricket ranks. 150226
against Australia on Thursday as part of a national squad warm up match at Citibank Oval ahead of the 3rd One Day International against New Zealand. Flintoff scored 1 not out from 2 balls faced, and was dynamic in the field - taking two catches including that of the Australian Captain, Meg Lanning. Flintoff now becomes the 6 th player from the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association to play for Victoria, joining the likes of Steve Seymour, Paul Wilson, Sam Harper and South Belgrave duo Brendan Joseland and Glenn Maxwell.
Bears and Griffens turn up the heat on day one By Richard Millot Blake Walter and Nick Bogar played a staring role on the first day of finals action, with the pair contributing centuries to set up an intriguing day two. Playing for the right to book themselves into the Norm Reeves Shield Final, The Basin won the toss and elected to put runs on the board against Eildon Park. The Panthers toiled, claiming early breakthroughs to have the hosts at 3/76. Blake Walter teamed up with Jayden Turcinovic, with the Bear Pair posting 153 runs together before Walter fell for a heroic 142, including 17 fours and 5 sixes. Turcinovic continued, eventually ending on 72 to put The Basin at 5/245. Scott Vozzo scored freely, providing a quickfire 32. Jarrod Hicks was the sole Panther to unlock the code of claiming the Bears' wickets, working hard in the heat to end with 5/101. The tail wagged in the latter overs pushing the total north of 300, ending at 8/333 from the overs and needing the Panthers' best to claim the spot in the final.
Meanwhile, at Carrington Park, Ferntree Gully Footballers fancied their chances against the Knight's bowling attack to apply scoreboard pressure on Day 1 of their Elimination Final. The Griffens started well before Chris Rumble struck twice to have the visitors at 2/26. Cohen McElroy's stay at the crease ended on 37, with the Knights increasingly making inroads on the middle order. Yet Nick Bogar remained at the crease, facing over 32 overs individually to see the Griffens to a competitive total. Bogar remained not out at the end, his 116 including 10 fours and 2 sixes. Bogar, along with Kuldeep Sidhu (33*) put on 73 runs in the final overs to end the day at 7/233. For the Knights, Rumble was Mr Breakthrough, claiming 4/51 from 20 overs in trying conditions. In Decoite Shield, Lysterfield set 233 for South Belgrave to target to lock in a shot at promotion. The Beavers won the toss and elected to bat first as Nathan Hicks (31) and Anthony Brolic (26) made starts early on to be 4/93. Ryan Hicks commanded the middle order,
reaching 61 amongst the middle order starts to help set up the home team to 9/232 from their overs. For South, Harley McDermott flourished

in the conditions, claiming 6/54 to give the minor premiers headaches and to set up a fantastic conclusion to the qualifying final.
State track and field By Jamie Strudley Lakeside Stadium roasted over the weekend as athletes from throughout Victoria, Tasmania and further afield competed in the first of two weekends of Victorian Track and Field Championships. Yarra Ranges Athletics had thirteen athletes competing and despite the unfavourable conditions, came away with two silver, one bronze, two fourth and three fifth placings along with many personal or season bests.

This club wants members Upwey-Tecoma Bowling Club is a small club, nestled among the trees adjacent to the Upwey Sports Ground. It boasts no more than 90 members, both social and playing, and indeed it is a struggle sometimes for the selection committee to fill
three teams on a Saturday during the Pennant season.
Tecoma will field all three Saturday Pennant teams in the upcoming Finals for this season.
The Club fields three teams for Saturday Pennant, and one for midweek Pennant.
The midweek Pennant team narrowly missed the finals by a narrow points margin.
Notwithstanding these problems, Upwey-
At the time of writing, the matchups will be:
First team vs Lilydale at home, second team vs Heathmont at home, third team vs Carrum away. The Club is in need of more members, most particularly among the younger and female demographic.
Bowlers establish record Monbulk Bowling Club established a record during the week when all six sides from Tuesday and Saturday pennant were able to make the finals. On Saturday 2 March Monbulk 1 played at home against Mooroolbark and needed to win and then hope that one of the top two sides lost in order to host a final on the first day of the finals. Monbulk won by 24 shots, 91 to 64. Unbelievably, the top side Croydon lost to the bottom side Chirnside Park and this means that Monbulk has finished second and will play Croydon at home next Saturday 9 March in the semi-final. Monbulk 2 played the top team Cardinia Waters away from home. Peter Francis' team won ten of the twenty-one ends, but was behind all day, dropping two 4s and three 3s along the way. They picked up 4 shots over the last two ends, but still went down 15 shots to 25. Overall, Monbulk lost by 27 shots, 65 to 92. Monbulk 2 finished the season third on the ladder, just one win less than the top two sides. Next week they play the semi-final against second-placed Cranbourne at Cranbourne. Monbulk 3 had a bye and has finished in third place and will next week travel to Vermont South for their semi-final. First-placed Monbulk 1 played Boronia who were in seventh place at home. It proved a much closer game than the ladder positions
suggested. Andrew Bell's rink trailed all day, but were able to obtain some multiples in the last three ends to get up and win by 3 shots, 17 to 14. Richard Cookson's rink was level at the halfway mark, but then they dropped 8 shots in four ends. Overall, Monbulk won by 18 shots, 62 to 44 and this means they will host the semi final against Mooroolbark. Monbulk 2 who were third on the ladder played away against Ferntree Gully who were seventh. Peter Francis' team had a see sawing battle, but a couple of bad patches led to them losing by 7 shots, 15 to 22. Eric Furby's team had a real battle handling the green and only won five ends for the day, losing 8 shots to 23. Overall, Monbulk 3 won 64 shots to 59. This win gives them a home final after finishing second on the ladder. So, next Tuesday they have to do it all over again because their opponents will again be Heatherdale.
Monbulk Bowling Club established a record last week.

BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE It’s time to catch it, order and build your concrete tank NOW!!!
12404514-RA46-18
Ring Terry Miller direct for the the best best prices prices
Ph. 0260 267 021 Concrete tanks built correctly will last a life time! Terry Miller from Terry Miller Concrete Tanks has been in the concrete tank building business for nearly 30 years. Being from country Victoria himself, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems. Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because our tanks have 5-inch walls and a six-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30 mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. And after 28 days of curing the strength of the concrete will be between 48 and 52 mpa. And each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength in the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tank are vibrated all around to ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000, 105,000 and 120,000 either with a silo (metal) roof, concrete top or open top tanks. The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, and this is particularly important in areas where there is high wind, or in fire prone districts. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, you will keep your home cool and wet. Or if need be, you can jump into the tank to keep cool and be protected from flames and radiant heat. Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it! So for all your water storage needs when you are thinking of installing your next tank, please call Terry for a quote on 0419462814 or 0260267021 or check out our web site, www.terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au. Nearly three years ago, we suffered our own fire here, in Barnawartha, and we were lucky. But it made me realise how important good water storage is. We are in for a long, hot, dry summer, and fire restrictions are in. Having an ample supply of safely stored water is imperative. So why not contact Terry now about your water supply needs, BEFORE, the heat builds up and water scarce. There is nothing more refreshing than your own cool, clear, clean water!
