Wheel support

By Casey Neill

Michael Kirkup from Yarra Valley Towing, Greg Ashmore from Ashmores Automotive Smash Repairs, Leading Senior Constable Scott Lardner and Garry Kirkup from Yarra Valley Towing.

"It's nice when you have a feel-good story."

Lead Sen Const Lardner knew the team at Ashmores Automotive Smash Repairs, located a few doors down, so again explained the story and asked for any help they could provide.

"They said they'd do it as cheap as possible," he said.

Greg Ashmore said it was such a sad situation.

"I was happy to help a local person," he said.

"I've got kids as well, so I felt for her kids."

He also reached out to Sunshine-based family business Just Jeeps Auto Wreckers for parts.

The supplier slashed its bill by half, bringing the total for the driver down to about $2500.

"They went above and beyond," Mr Ashmore said.

The driver is still recovering from the traumatic event, but wanted to thank Lead Sen Const Lardner and the businesses for their generosity.

"I have always loved this community, but after all of this I feel even luckier to be a part of it," she told the Mail.

She was "completely overwhelmed" with the unexpected generosity and kindness from the businesses.

"It means more than they will probably ever know," she said.

"To have people be so helpful, understanding and supportive in such an incredibly difficult time, I feel very lucky.

"I can't thank everyone enough for all of their support and generosity with everything!

"Just being kind to one another really does change lives."

Lead Sen Const Lardner said this wasn't something he'd made a habit of in his 26 years as a police officer.

"I've never done anything like this," he said.

"This is just one out of the box."

He urged people walking at night to wear fluorescent or reflective on their shoes, backpack or clothing and to avoid wearing headphones.

The kindness of strangers is making life a little easier for a Yarra Ranges mum involved in a tragic accident.

The woman, who did not want to be named, struck and killed a 41-year-old Wandin North man with her car on Lilydale-Monbulk Road, Mount Evelyn, just after 6.30pm on Friday 10 May. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Leading Senior Constable Scott Lardner said the young woman's two children were in the car with her.

He said a crash scene reconstruction showed she was travelling under the speed limit.

The man was wearing dark clothing and headphones, it was dark, it had been raining and there were no street lights.

"She's devastated," Lead Sen Const Lardner said.

But to make matters worse, she'd planned to change car insurance companies and let her cover lapse.

So Lead Sen Const Lardner stepped in.

He connected the driver with the deceased man's parents, who placed no blame on her shoulders for the tragic accident.

He also decided the bill to get her car fixed, estimated at $5500, should be the least of her worries.

"She has not asked for a thing," he said.

"I've pushed the barrow to the front door of Yarra Valley Towing and Ashmores and they've picked up the handles."

The police had the car towed to Yarra Valley Towing in Lilydale after the crash.

Once they'd finished their examinations, Lead Sen Const Lardner explained the situation to the business.

Father and son team Garry and Michael Kirkup immediately offered to wave storage fees and replaced the car's windscreen free of charge.

Michael said community service was in their background.

"It reinvigorates your community spirit," he said.

Caring is key: CEO lesson Lilydale students learnt a lesson in compassion and empathy from a CEO. Vinnies CEO Sleepout ambassador Chris Christofi spoke at Mount Lilydale Mercy College (MLMC) on Tuesday 28 May. He shared his life journey and encouraged Year 12 students to be part of the college's own winter sleepout on Thursday 20 June, to raise money for Vinnies.

The college has been involved with the Vinnies Sleepout initiative for more than a decade, with a group of students sleeping out in the quad area each year.

The school said that experiencing the cold and discomfort of homelessness was a powerful way for them to learn empathy and compassion for those less fortunate.

Mr Christofi said he wasn't a great student and his grades were so bad he couldn't get into university.

He still managed to buy his first house at age 19 and was a multi-millionaire by age 23, but he lost it all.

At age 25 he was $348,000 in debt and moved back in with his parents.

His son had recently lost his hearing as the result of meningitis and Mr Christofi was close to giving up, but he clawed his way back.

Vinnies CEO Sleepout ambassador Chris Christofi with students Willow Thomas, Ella Tosh, Matthew Gamble, Grace Clinton and Brayden Hunt.

He founded property investment and wealth advisory firm Reventon and has again found success.

"I love making mistakes because I learn," Mr Christofi said.

He said the number one thing he wanted to instil in his own four children was to "be a good human".

He understands the desire to make money

but told students that "doing it the right way is the most important thing".

"I don't care about making money, I care about helping people," he said.

Mr Christofi has committed to raising $60,000 in donations for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout this year.

"I want to make a difference, make an impact," he said.

He raised $40,185 last year in his first year of taking part, the third highest total in Victoria.

The college will donate the funds its raises through its sleepout to Mr Christofi's fundraising campaign.

Deputy principal Elizabeth Keogh said he was "an inspiring leader, successful and ethical".

"We want the students to learn that they don't have to make a choice about being either successful and wealthy or compassionate and giving," she said.

"They can do both."

Homelessness in Australia has risen 14 per cent in the past five years, with more than 116,000 people living without a permanent home across Australia.

"It can be tempting to ignore the severe impacts of homelessness as we go about our daily lives, but it is essential that we never succumb to the error of believing that homelessness is just an outcome or something that's deserved," Mr Christofi said.

"In the end, we're all human beings and subject to circumstances beyond our control.

"It is my personal mission to do everything I can to help."

Building a better community by giving back to them

By Russell Bennett The Rotary Club of Emerald and District’s annual calendar is full of events that give back to the local community, and recognise those who make the hills community what it is.

Its Pride of Workmanship Awards, held at the Paradise Valley Hotel in Clematis, are a way of paying special tribute to, and recognising those from a wide cross-section of the community for their contributions to businesses and organisations throughout the region.

La Trobe MP Jason Wood, alongside Cardinia Shire Ranges Ward councillors Leticia Wilmot and Brett Owen, were among guests at the presentation evening and helped to present a range of awards across the education, volunteering, community, and business sectors.

Emerald and District Rotary Club president and Emerald Business Group chairman Ian Ash spoke of his pride in the event, which combines both groups.

“It’s a great opportunity for local businesses to network, talk to one another, and get to know each other even better,” he said.

Mr Ash spoke about the five avenues of service within Rotary - club service, vocational service, community service, international service, and youth service.

The Pride of Workmanship Awards are a crucial part of the vocational service space.

“It’s really rewarding for us to be able to recognise the local businesses and the fantastic work that goes on within them,” he said.

“The archetypal view of Rotary conjures up images of grey-haired men like myself selling sausages outside Bunnings and offer-

ing raffle tickets.

“But almost half our members in the club are women, and it’s great to see so many women represented here.

"We’re united by a common desire to give back to the local community - that’s where Rotary started and that’s still what we stand for.”

Mr Ash also spoke about the range of events and activities Emerald and District Rotary has run or been directly involved with over the past year.

The Great Community Raffle raised more than $177,000, taking the tally raised to date to about $1.4 million; the Kids Fun Run with Thomas, which raised $46,000 last time around for the Monash Children’s Hospital cancer centre; the All American Car Display and Man Cave Alley; and the Debutante Ball.

Ms Bajaj spoke about the Pride of Workmanship Awards, an approved Rotary project instigated in 1975 by the Rotary Club of Pennant Hills.

From its humble beginnings, a theme was born: ‘Do it once, do it well, build a better Australia’.

Ms Bajaj said the awards enabled organisations within the community to help employees achieve a high level of job satisfaction and publicly recognise them for their efforts.

She spoke about the three core values that underpinned the Pride of Workmanship - taking pride in work, job values and taking ownership.

There were about 120 attendees at this year’s event and the vast majority of the 15 award-winners were from the business sector.

Of the awards presented, Len O’Donnell

IN BRIEF

Help for homeless

By Casey Neill Yarra Ranges' homeless could be left in the cold this winter because of state planning rules.

At the Tuesday 28 May Yarra Ranges Council meeting, councillors agreed to advocate to the State Government for changes to building regulations for winter shelters.

Stable One gave 56 men and women in the Yarra Ranges the chance to come in from the cold during the past two winters by partnering with churches to provide temporary accommodation.

The organisation was at first advised that its program was considered ancillary to a church's normal activity, but have recently been told they need new occupancy permits for the buildings.

Stable One managing director Jenny Willetts told the council meeting that seven churches took it in turns to host those in need, with help from volunteers.

An eighth church opened its doors on Friday afternoons for recreation, showers and support.

"There's a critical shortage of crisis accommodation," Ms Willetts said.

She said transitional housing was also lack-

ing in the region.

Ms Willetts said she didn't consider the service accommodation, just shelter and hospitality.

"We're filling a critical gap," she said.

But the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) advised the council that the churches would need a temporary occupancy permit to take part this year.

A building permit would be needed for any alterations the churches needed to meet classifications for accommodation, with more permits required for following years.

"Unfortunately none of the current locations in Yarra Ranges have such permits or meet the requirements of the building regulations for this type of accommodation use," a council report said.

The council will ask Planning Minister Richard Wynne and the Victorian Building Authority to review the Building Act 1993 to improve regulations for using non-residential buildings for short-term accommodation.

It will also ask the Maroondah and Knox councils to consider following suit.

Cr Len Cox said a change had to happen.

"We have a lot of homeless people in our municipality, unfortunately," he said.

"Stable One has done a wonderful job, giving some protection from the weather and food and company.

"Just someone to talk to, often, is what a lot of people need.

"This motion will go a little bit of the way to maybe getting some permits through so Stable One can go back to giving a place to stay to the homeless over the winter months."

Cr Fiona McAllister said she felt ashamed.

"This is red tape gone mad," she said.

"What is the point of all of these requirements and provisions?

"It's about risk minimisation. What is the risk?

"The true risk is us not looking after the people in our community who need it most through a simple solution being provided by people who care."

Cr McAllister said the council needed to encourage the removal of red tape.

"I really hope this time next year we are not having this type of conversation," she said.

Mayor Tony Stephenson said the regulations were there for reasons.

"We don't have the discretion to delete state planning regulations," he said.

"What we can do is advocate against them."

A can-do attitude helps fill the bellies

By Casey Neill The Belgrave South Baptist Church community will donate more than 1000 cans of food to help those in need.

The church has collected cans for the Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service (DRERS) for the past six or seven years, starting with 200 the first time around.

Senior Pastor Tim Dyer said families had been adding cans to their weekly grocery shop since the start of May, aiming for 1500 cans.

"We feel as though we're going to reach that target, which is great," he said.

The DRERS will pick up the collection in the first week of June.

"We try to get people to donate with the pop tops, so they don't need a can opener," Pastor Dyer said.

"All the cans get used up by the time winter's finished. None are leftover.

"It's a real, practical and easy way to help.

"Everyone can buy a couple of cans when they go shopping.

"We don't want to just be a church that opens Sundays. We're connected with the community.

"We want to be an expression of God's love in a practical way."

DRERS CEO Tania Bevan said the donation would make a huge difference.

"It has a really big impact on being able to feed families, people who are homeless," she said.

"Cans are great for people who are homeless because they can carry that meal around with them.

You know the drill Yarra Ranges CIU detectives are appealing for public help following a burglary and theft in Lilydale.

Investigators have been told a man attended a hardware store on Main Street about 5pm on Monday 20 May. He selected a number of power tools and other items before placing them in a basket.

The man then took the basket to an outdoor area, hid the items and left the store.

It's believed that he returned about 3am on 21 May in a white ute, forced the rear gate, entered the property and collected the secreted items before returning to his vehicle and driving off.

The alleged thief is described as Caucasian and 35 to 40 years old with a medium build, balding head and a soul patch.

Detectives released an image of a man they believe could assist with their inquiries.

Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au with any information.

Belgrave South stabbing Police are appealing for information about a stabbing that took place at the intersection of Engelke Road and Belgrave Hallam Road in Belgrave South.

It is understood that at the intersection on 27 May at 8.30pm, a man was assaulted and sustained stab wounds to his face and arm.

Police are seeking information about the attacker.

Anyone who might have any information or who saw suspicious activity on the night should call Belgrave Police Station on 9754 6677.

Dangerous driver

John Moon from DRERS and Belgrave South Baptist Church Senior Pastor Tim Dyer with the Picture: ROB CAREW donated cans. 193947 "We are really grateful for what Belgrave South Baptist does.

"That is a lot of cans. It's going to help a lot of people."

To other people who'd like to help with donations, Ms Bevan suggested they think about what they put in their own trolley.

"Then it's something that someone will use.

We're all very similar," she said.

"We all use toilet paper, we all use shampoo."

But aside from the most basic necessities, Ms Bevan encouraged donations of the 'basics' that make people's days a little brighter.

"Some people go to a cafe and have a coffee every day, but some people can't even afford instant coffee," she said.

DRERS is at 1616/1624 Burwood Highway, Belgrave, and can be contacted on 9754 7777.

Olinda police members allegedly clocked a Subaru WRX driving through Sassafras at more than 100km/h.

On Sunday 2 June at 1am the officers were conducting vehicle speed checks along Mount Dandenong Tourist Road.

The tried to intercept the Subaru but the driver allegedly accelerated to more than 120km/h towards Ferny Creek.

Belgrave police then allegedly detected the vehicle, but police said the driver again accelerated to a very dangerous and reckless speed.

Other police units assisted Olinda and Belgrave but the driver continued to drive in an irresponsible manner at speeds the officers deemed dangerous to the public.

Olinda and Belgrave members followed the car into the Ferntree Gully Bowls Club car park, and onto the grass along Ferny Creek.

Police said the unregistered car came to a stop in the boggy ground and the unlicensed driver fled the scene, leaving behind his three passengers, which included a young pregnant woman.

The driver is known to police and will be charged with dangerous driving offences.

Leading Senior Constable Fox of Belgrave Police said “the unlicensed drivers’ actions were extremely reckless and dangerous and he could have killed or seriously injured other road users".

Safely return to exercise Having a baby is a time of incredible joy and exhilaration and a time to adjust to motherhood, sleep deprivation and the amazing changes a woman’s body has undertaken in growing, carrying and birthing a little one.

New mums are usually keen to return to exercise and all the activities they loved doing before baby but are often unsure how to safely begin.

Runners are often a different story.

They are usually itching to get back on the trails for both the exhilaration of the run and the mental break from newborn life.

However, they may not be aware of the impact of running on their recovering bodies both now and in the future.

Fortunately, to help support postnatal women to return to running safely, there are new guidelines based on the best available current evidence.

The guidelines have been produced by

Body

watch Jen Vardy

Women's health physio, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda three passionate UK-based physiotherapists who have sought extensive collaboration from leading international health professionals.

They recommend that there is no one size fits all approach and that most women should wait until at least 12 weeks postnatal before a graduated return to the pavement.

Some women will cringe at waiting this

long but consideration must be given to the high impact loads of running and the physical, psychological and hormonal factors of postnatal recovery.

Running produces a sudden rise in intraabdominal pressure and acknowledged increased ground reaction forces of around 1.52.5 times bodyweight.

Postnatal women have weakened lower limb muscles following pregnancy and childbirth and poor ability to absorb such dramatic elevations in pressure.

Abdominal and pelvic floor muscles are also recovering post-birth and if such forces are transferred to these vulnerable muscles, they will struggle to maintain continence and organ support.

No new mum wants to encounter bladder or bowel leakage or an onset of prolapse symptoms.

The stakes are high for a mum wanting to

return to running.

Throw in sleep deprivation as the new norm which causes a reduction in muscle protein synthesis, and breastfeeding and its increased energy requirements, and no wonder the guidelines recommend every mother should access a pelvic health and physical assessment with a specialist physiotherapist.

Until Medicare funds such a postnatal screening assessment for every new mum this may not always be achievable.

Best practice should at the very least include starting an appropriate exercise program devised in conjunction with a health professional early, which includes specific pelvic floor and abdominal muscle training and education to ready the running mum for her appropriate time to return to running.

Future waste alternative

By Casey Neill Yarra Ranges Council will look into alternatives for the shire's waste, with the landfill it uses close to capacity.

The Metropolitan Waste Resource Recovery Group (MWRRG) is working with more than 15 metropolitan councils to look at processing solutions for kerbside waste that is going to landfill.

At their Tuesday 28 May meeting, Yarra Ranges Councillors agreed to join the group's search for solutions for the future.

A plant to convert waste to energy is one

possible solution.

"Where we take our rubbish has a lifespan of less than 10 years," Cr Jim Child said.

"Every piece of waste, landfill waste, leaves our municipality, and we have to pay for that.

"When this Hallam site ceases to function we're going to have a very serious problem.

"We will have to take our waste further, which will cost residents more."

"We have to start on this journey because we have to do something with our waste.

"A message that we have to put out to all our residents is that recycling at your home is

the biggest thing that you can be doing now."

Cr Mike Clarke said this was a hallmark decision.

"We're moving away from landfill," he said.

"We just can't carry on like this.

"Landfills have been the cheap way to do it.

We've run out of spaces. There's no other option.

"This is going to be a new industrial processing opportunity."

He said a waste to energy plant would sort through recyclables then incinerate the others to make energy.

"It's the latest technology, I believe," he said.

"It's most appropriate that we line up straight away with other councils to start the evolution of this new direction."

Yarra Ranges Council collects and disposes of about 30,000 tonnes of household waste from landfill bins within the municipality annually through a regional landfill disposal contract with the MWRRG. This material is sent to the Suez Landfill in Hallam, which is projected to reach capacity in less than 10 years on current trends, at which time it would need to close.

Hallam is the last landfill in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

Lilydale needs a heart

By Casey Neill Lilydale is at a turning point in its history and it needs a heart.

That's what Lilydale and District Historical Society president Sue Thompson told the 28 May Yarra Ranges Council meeting.

She spoke in favour of the Lilydale Place Plan (LPP), which councillors agreed to endorse and place on public exhibition for four weeks.

Ms Thompson was on the Lilydale Project Reference Group (LPRG) that informed the plan.

The plan will guide the council's decisions for infrastructure, programs and services for Lilydale to achieve maximum positive impact for the community.

Ms Thompson described the document as the "foundations of Lilydale's future".

"Lilydale is at a turning point in its history," she said.

She said it had remained unchanged in decades, with its wide streets and a top and bottom end of town.

But it's also home to modern buildings, modern transport and lots of people.

"We have to provide modern facilities and cater for the needs of today," she said.

"It is a balancing act, but one that we think can be achieved."

Ms Thompson said Lilydale needed to be transformed into a "living city" and this would require funding. She said the council needed to promote the place plan to get the community supportive and involved, and needed to deliver on a project from the plan.

"Let's get on with it and transform Lilydale from a tired, heartless place into a place of vision," she said.

Top of Ms Thompson's wish list for Lilydale is a town centre.

"Lilydale has no heart. It's got no focus," she said.

She said a 'heart' could include a commercial kitchen for looking after homeless, rooms for classes, art spaces and meeting spaces.

The LPRG included 12 community mem-

Traffic making its way through Lilydale. 194090 bers and 12 council officers and met monthly throughout last year.

Other key ideas that community members touted for Lilydale included focusing population growth within the town centre, support-

A cruel ‘heaven’

Lilydale Newsagent 237 Main Street Lilydale

I’ve just been to heaven.

Actually, I’ve just been for a drive around the Dandenongs and, at this time of the year, heaven is the only word to describe it.

But at this time of the year, too, I invariably think about the millions of animals who die without ever having been permitted to catch even one glimpse of their beautiful world.

For the animals so cruelly incarcerated in our factory farms, the only colour they will ever see in their entire lifetime is grey.

What gives us the right to deprive these innocent animals of every joy in life, including all vision and knowledge of the world in which they were born?

Given that we can live healthily and happily without any animal products in our diet, how fair is this? Please open your hearts and minds.

No cruelty to animals is justified.

IN BRIEF

Fire service reform

By Casey Neill The CFA has welcomed fire services law reforms introduced to the Victorian Parliament.

The State Government put forward the legislation on Wednesday 29 May. It said the new Fire Rescue Victoria would cover the existing Metropolitan Fire Brigade boundaries and serve metropolitan Melbourne, outer urban areas and larger regional centres.

Boundaries will be altered to reflect population growth, a change the State Government said fire services had requested for a long time.

CFA volunteers serving at integrated stations can choose to stay there, co-locating with Fire Rescue Victoria services. The State Government said the 1220 volunteer CFA brigades would be untouched.

CFA acting CEO/CO Gavin Freeman said the reforms were a great opportunity to improve fire services to the whole community. The State Government said the Firefighters' Presumptive Rights Compensation and Fire Services Legislation Amendment (Reform) Bill 2019 would also provide presumptive rights to cancer compensation for career and volunteer firefighters.

"This means all firefighters will have greater certainty in being able to access compensation benefits for specified cancers," Mr Freeman said. He said CFA members would be front of mind for the organisation's leadership team as it worked through the changes.

"We commit to engaging extensively with volunteers, career firefighters and staff through the process," he said.

But Gembrook MP and Shadow Emergency

Services Minister Brad Battin said the State Government was "again trying to ram legislation through the Parliament to break up the CFA and put the lives and safety of Victorians at risk".

He said the Premier "did not have the courage" to bring it to Parliament before the federal election because he knew the Fire Rescue Victoria legislation was wrong.

"It disrespects volunteers, it fixes no problems and delivers no increase to community safety," he said.

Victoria's firefighting structures have not changed since the 1950s. The new model will not come into effect until mid-2020, which will mean no change for the 2019-'20 fire season.

An implementation monitor will oversee the reforms and Fire Rescue Victoria and the CFA operations for 10 years.

An Ernest farewell from the lollipop man Ernest White has put down his stop sign for the final time.

He's guided Sassafras Primary School students across Mount Dandenong Tourist Road for just over 15 years. On Friday 31 May he worked his last shift as a crossing supervisor and retired.

Mr White has enjoyed having contact with the community and ensuring the children are safely delivered to school each morning.

At a sprightly 79 years and a Dandenong Ranges resident for almost 50 years, he is looking forward to not getting up on wintery mornings in freezing temperatures and the inevitable 3.30pm downpour.

He will, however, greatly miss cheery hellos and goodbyes from the students and the conversations with their parents and carers, many of whom recognise him when he is out and about in the hills.

RidgeWalk feedback Yarra Ranges Council is seeking feedback on the Draft Master Plan for RidgeWalk.

RidgeWalk will bring to life the stories of art and landscape in the Dandenong Ranges along a 39 kilometre walking trail using artworks and more.

The Draft Master Plan is available for public review and comment until 24 June.

Feedback will be shared with the project consultants and Yarra Ranges staff to improve the Master Plan and further shape the RidgeWalk.

The draft includes a map of the proposed route, concept designs and more.

Since early last year, the project team and master plan consultants have engaged with the community about the project and its themes around art, history, transportation, recreation, parking and tourism.

Twenty-five public events and community meetings have taken place, with more than 500 people in attendance.

The release of the Draft Master Plan is the latest step.

Visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au to contribute.

Speed limit cuts Yarra Ranges Council is proposing speed limit drops on nine roads to improve safety.

The council is advocating to VicRoads on the community’s behalf in response to concerns raised about safety.

In the hills, the Liverpool Road, Kilsyth, speed limit would reduce from 80km/h to 70km/h and Glenfern Road in Upper Ferntree Gully would drop from 80km/h to 70km/h.

The council has sent letters to residents on the proposed roads, outlining the proposal and asking for their feedback.

Yarra Ranges residents and visitors are also encouraged to share their thoughts via www. yarraranges.vic.gov.au before 4pm on Friday 28 June.

The sweet sounds of ukuleles descended on Emerald for this year’s Hills Ukulele Festival.

The event ran at Emerald Primary School on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May and featured a diverse range of world-class ukulele performers, ukulele groups and workshops.

Festival organiser and the school’s music teacher, Dan MacEoin, said all Saturday workshop participants were welcomed to the main stage during the gala concert on Sunday.

“How many music festivals have that level of inclusivity?” he said.

Photographer Greg Carrick was on-hand to capture some of the fun for the Mail. Visit mailcommunity.com.au for more.

ENTERTAINMENT

Art is in miniature Little art with big impact is on display in Belgrave.

The Sherbrooke Art Society and the Australian Society of Miniature Art unveiled the Small Packages Exhibition on Wednesday 29 May. Sherbrooke Art Society members have 92 works of art on show, using a range of mediums including oil, acrylic and graphite.

There'll be $150 prizes awarded for the Best Small Painting, Best Painting Miniature and Best Painting in Graphite, and a $100 prize for Best Painting by Popular Vote.

The works will be on show until Thursday 30 June at Sherbrooke Art Society's gallery at 62 Monbulk Road, Belgrave.

Entry is free. The gallery is open 11am to 4pm, Wednesday through Monday.

A monster good time Godzilla: King of the Monsters Starring Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobbie Brown Rated M

Co-ordinator Michael Freshwater, project manager Deborah Zang and judge It Hao Pheh, holding Picture: ROB CAREW one of his own works. 194081

A stompingly-satisfying monster mash, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is clearly made with love for the original Japanese Godzilla films but has a scattershot, frustrating plot.

With the world still reeling from the emergence of giant monsters known as Titans, the Titan Godzilla must fight for dominance against the malevolent dragon Ghidorah.

While most of the characters are thinlywritten and the dialogue can be somewhat heavy-handed, the performances are engaging and the plot is driven by some compelling character arcs, including bitter biologist Mark Russell (Kyle Chandler) gradually finding peace with Godzilla and helping him fight the bigger threat of Ghidorah.

The monster battles are brutal, glorious spectacles and the film is laden with references to satisfy Godzilla fans.

Famous monsters Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah, in their first Hollywood appearances, are formidable, portrayed faithfully and given ample screen-time (except for Mothra, who is short-changed), and composer Bear McCreary pays rousing tribute to Akira Ifukube's iconic score for the final battle.

Unfortunately, the plot jumps erratically from each set piece to the next with little explanation and the Orca, a device for tracking and controlling the Titans, is very poorly-defined.

The monster action is fantastic but the human scale is chaotic and hard to follow, and the characters rarely seem like they're in peril.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

Burrinja builder on-board

By Casey Neill Yarra Ranges Council has chosen the builder that will spruce up Burrinja.

Councillors agreed to award the $2.6 million contract for works at the Upwey cultural centre to Lloyd Group at their Tuesday 28 May meeting.

"It's one of our most-used buildings," Councillor Len Cox said.

"It's certainly one of our most popular buildings in the municipality and this addition will make it even more usable than it's been in the past."

Lloyd Group was among four prequalified suppliers from the Department of Transport Construction Supplier Register invited to tender for the project.

The redevelopment will transform Burrinja's galleries; artist studios and making spaces; cafe, hospitality and music performance space; and the first floor 'black box' multipurpose space, along with the main entrance to the building.

The project will upgrade areas of the facility that were untouched during the performing arts redevelopment of 2011.

It will transform functionally distinct yet interdependent creative spaces and reconfigure many ad hoc, tired and disconnected areas into flowing, active and more usable spaces.

The Mail reported last week that works were due to start in June, and executive officer of 20 years Ross Farnell will step down at the end of the financial year.

Kangaroos kick on

By Nick Creely Creating a winning culture and implementing good habits into the club are what's important to Officer as they continue to build on their year.

Bouncing back from a tough start to life in the new competition, the Kangaroos are now well and truly back in the pack after securing their third straight victory in AFL Outer East Division 1, this time against a gallant Mount Evelyn at Starling Road on Saturday, 12.12 (84) to 7.13 (55).

It was a tough, mature and at times exciting performance; one glittered with solid efforts from senior players and a sparkling three-goal display from a debutant.

On Saturday, the Kangaroos took another step forward in what was their most consistent performance of the year, shaking off the Rovers, who stuck with the home side for the best part of the three quarters.

The visitors managed to snag the first major of the afternoon, before Doug Koop's side got on a mini run - sparked from an excellent goal and mark from skipper Matthew Clarke to take in a 22-point lead at quarter time after kicking a goal on the siren.

But, forcing the Kangaroos to turn the footy over and lose some of the spark created off half-back, the Rovers roared back into the contest, levelling the score at half-time after an unanswered three-goal term.

The visitors looked like they could inflict the Kangaroos with an upset during stages of the third term after starting the second-half well, but some maturity shown by their leaders ensured they could find enough energy and momentum to wrestle back the lead with a quarter to play.

In particular, young gun Tyler Clark enjoyed a stellar quarter, kicking the ball with precision and running hard to stamp his authority on the contest.

It was a plain and simple message at the huddle as Koop prepared to address his side for the last time, "We've done all the hard work, and we now need to finish it off."

And finish it off they did, halting the Rovers who surged early with some brilliant defensive acts from Stephen Heppel and James Waldon, and some class coming through the middle from Tyler Clark, veteran Ben Tivendale and lion-hearted ruckman Sean Roach - who floated

Mount Evelyn spearhead Robert Hartfield celebrates a goal. 194082 around the ground to have a big say on proceedings before the forward line went to work and secured the victory.

For the Rovers - in an incredibly encouraging performance - forward Robert Hartfield looked solid to kick three, while Ryan Fooks enjoyed another strong game.

One of the most exciting moments of the match came in the form of debutant Lachlan Carr, an excitement machine who kicked the sealer with a clutch set-shot before snagging another a minute later in a performance that netted three goals.

In other Outer East Division 1 matches, Doveton defeated Emerald, 15.14 (104) to 11.11 (77) under lights, Monbulk remain undefeated with a 14.18 (102) to 5.5 (35) win against Warburton Millgrove, while Pakenham defeated Belgrave, 17.21 (123) to 14.6 (90).

In the Premier Division, Olinda Ferny Creek put in a brave showing but ultimately fell to Beaconsfield at Holm Park, 10.17 (77) to 5.8 (38).

The Bloods led at half-time after a superb opening half, and trailed by just 17 at the final change, before three unanswered goals got the

job done for the Eagles, with Sean Dwyer best afield for the hosts.

Berwick also secured a hard-fought win, holding off Cranbourne at home, 9.15 (69) to 5.11 (41).

In a tightly-fought battle, the Wickers didn't shake the Eagles until the third term, surging away after trailing by one-point at half time to open up a 34-point lead.

Tim Gunn was superb for the Wickers with three goals.

In the remaining matches, Woori Yallock defeated Healesville, 18.11 (119) to 7.5 (47), while 41-goals were scored in Wandin's incredible 76-point win against Upwey Tecoma, 26.21 (177) to 15.11 (101).

In Division 2 action across the weekend, Seville got the better of Gembrook Cockatoo away from home, 17.13 (115) to 10.7 (67), Kinglake did what they needed to do in their 10.16 (76) to 6.5 (41) win against Alexandra, while Yarra Glen held on for a one-point win against Powelltown, 12.13 (85) to 13.6 (84) and Yarra Junction belted Thornton Eildon, 21.21 (147) to 3.5 (23).

State relay medals and XCR success

By Jamie Strudley Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes and supporters were spread far and wide this weekend.

Thirteen of its little athletics athletes travelled to Cruden Farm for the Little Athletics Victoria Cross Country Relay Championships.

The club's kids really gave it everything and totally enjoyed the day.

Congratulations went to the Under-9 girls, who finished in third place.

Under-9 girls: 3rd Willow 4.21, Emily 4.22, Tori 4.22 - 13.05 Under-9 girls: 21st Caitlyn 5.02, Tanaya 5.13, Eloise 5.05 - 15.20 Under-11 boys: 14th Ollie 6.18, Tyler 6.09, Mitch 5.26 - 17.53 Under-12 girls: 10th Izzy 6.00, Kaylah 6.27, Aemelia 5.52 - 18.19 Under-11 girls EMR: 11th Zoe 5.59 The club's seniors travelled to St Anne's Winery in Myrniong for Round 2 of the XCR season. There were some great runs from all club athletes.

Standouts were: Maddie Laven 3rd (Women Under-16); Women Under-16 team 1st (Maddie Laven, Mia Strudley, Jemima Wilson); Harry Norman 2nd (Men Under-20); and Men Under-20 team 1st (Harry Norman, James Laven, Max Savill-Bentley).

The club also had two athletes in the first 50 in the Open Women (Kellie Emerson 29th and Veida Somerville 45th).

Th rest of the club were at a damp Margaret Lewis Reserve for some fun cross country running. Next week the club will return to Durmailcommunity.com.au

Bloods still triumphant Olinda Ferny Creek ventured to Holm Park Reserve in Beaconsfield for round six of Premier League netball in the AFL Outer East competition.

The A-grade was a clash of the competition's heavyweights with Olinda Ferny Creek and Beaconsfield both undefeated and sitting first and second respectively on the ladder.

This promised to be a classic and spectators weren't disappointed.

In an extremely physical game, the Bloods jumped out of the blocks with a 13 goal to four first quarter.

Beaconsfield hit back hard in the second quarter, with both sides scoring 14 goals each.

After leading by nine goals at half time, the Olinda Ferny Creek girls slowly pulled away in the second half to enjoy a 19-goal victory.

Elly Stewart proved her value at both ends of the court and was judged best on court, ably supported by Madi Taylor and Alice Paget.

The Bloods now sit alone at the top of the table, undefeated at the third-way mark of the season.

The day started with 17 and under which saw the young Swannies put in one of their best performances of the season against a very good Beaconsfield side.

Although going down by 16 goals, the girls teamed together very well and are showing great improvement week by week.

Among the best players were Charlotte McGrath, Kate Mikulandra and Adriana Hawkins.

Beaconsfield was far too strong for Olinda Ferny Creek in D-grade, with winners right across the court.

The game was broken apart with a powerful 12 to five goal second quarter and the Bloods couldn't get back into the game, with Beaconsfield running out 16-goal winners.

Sarah Seddon, Kate Mikulanda and Abbie Gunn all played well for Olinda Ferny Creek.

C-grade was similar story, with Beaconsfield just having that extra bit of class and blowing Olinda Ferny Creek out of the water with a 13 goal to five third quarter, putting the game out of Olinda Ferny Creek's reach.

Beaconsfield again won by 16 goals.

Caz Bates, Jess Horner and Mary Taylor all had good games for the Bloods.

B-grade saw a battle between the topplaced Olinda Ferny Creek and third-placed Beaconsfield and it was a cracking game of netball.

After a very tight first quarter the Bloods slowly pulled away, but Beaconsfield kept at them throughout.

The Olinda Ferny Creek girls were victorious by nine goals and remained undefeated for the season.

The side's best players were Jess Tossell, Rhi Pendleton and Bron Simpson.

This coming Saturday 8 June, Olinda Ferny Creek is on the road again, travelling to Edwin Flack Reserve in Berwick to take on Berwick.

The action starts from 11.25am.

Only one win for the day The Monbulk Junior Football Club had its final Silvan-held 'home game' this weekend.

The move to its new sporting pavilion has started and excitement is mounting for genuine home games and to show off the new facilities to the community and opposition.

Best: C. Bakker, M. Laven, A. Hughson, J. Farmer, H. Koolstra, M. Macallan.

Under-16 Mount Evelyn 10.8.68 d Monbulk 7.6.48 It was another tough clash against Mount Evelyn.

MOTORING

Driving home winter risk VicRoads has tips to help drivers stay safe on the roads this winter.

Fewer daylight hours mean more hazardous driving conditions.

Drivers planning trips to the snow should plan ahead and consider what they might encounter on the roads.

It's advisable to drive more cautiously on all roads during winter, safely navigating Victoria's alpine regions can involve coping with more extreme weather such as blizzards, fog and black ice.

When visiting any alpine resorts, VicRoads said drivers were required to always carry snow

chains and fit them if directed by authorities.

Other tips include checking tyre pressure; checking lights/fog lights and battery are working; putting anti-freeze in the radiator; and packing an ice scraper and sunglasses for snow glare.

To avoid getting into trouble on the mountain, VicRoads said drivers should always fill up their fuel tank prior to entering alpine regions.

Diesel vehicles should fill up with alpine diesel mix, which is available at service stations in the alpine area.

Before they head off, drivers should check for black ice warnings on traffic.vicroads.vic.

gov.au or download the VicTraffic app.

Black ice generally forms at night time, in the early mornings or on sections of the roads that haven't been exposed to sunlight, like under tree cover.

VicRoads recommended delaying a trip to avoid icy conditions.

If drivers must be on the road during those key danger times, they should allow plenty of time, slow down, be patient and use a car equipped with electronic stability control (ESC) if possible.

VicRoads said driving in snowy conditions required a lot of concentration and patience.

Drivers should stay calm if stuck in a long queue and always follow road signs and directions given by alpine resort staff - they are there for driver safety.

Luxury people mover

1187559-RC24-15

Toyota will offer a new luxury people mover aimed at high-end hospitality, family and corporate buyers when the new Granvia arrives in Australia later this year.

Based on the all-new HiAce platform, the Granvia takes the concept of a large luxury wagon to the next level with premium seating for eight, a full suite of Toyota Safety Sense features and four-link coil-sprung rear suspension.

Toyota sales and marketing vice president Sean Hanley said the new Granvia offered true luxury transport to meet the needs of those desiring a large spacious cabin, supreme comfort and superior refinement.

"Whether you are in need of a five-star hotel shuttle, corporate transport for senior executives or just a large luxury family wagon, the new Granvia fits the bill," he said.

"With a stylish European-inspired design, outstanding comfort, refined performance, a high level of safety features and impressive list of standard appointments, the new Granvia really is the last word in luxury people movers."

The Granvia will be offered with a single turbodiesel powertrain and be available in two grades, featuring such luxuries as power sliding rear side doors, electrically-adjustable driver's and second row captain's seats, and leather-accented upholstery.

On-road entertainment and information will be provided by Toyota's latest generation multimedia system that will be available with four USB ports and a total of 12 speakers.

Both models feature nine airbags, active cruise control and pre-collision safety system (PCS) with pedestrian and daytime cyclist detection.

Arriving in the fourth quarter of this year, the Granvia will take over the role that the long-standing Toyota Tarago has played.

Both models will be sold alongside each other until the Tarago is discontinued at the end of the year.

The Toyota Tarago was first launched in Australia in 1983 and has grown through four generations.
