Objection failed

By Derek Schlennstedt Objecting residents got the opposite of what they hoped for after taking Yarra Ranges Council to VCAT over a double-storey development in Tecoma.

Two Dandenong Ranges residents opposed the two-storey proposal for 1533 Burwood Highway on the basis that it would be visually dominant and out of character in its setting, and was inconsistent with the applicable design and development overlay.

But the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) decided on 29 August to grant a permit for the development and rescinded a number of conditions the council added when it approved the permit.

Most notably, the reduction in building height of the dwellings from 7.88m and 7.7m to 7m - achieved by Cr Mike Clarke at a council meeting on 27 November last year - was overturned, with the development to proceed according to its original design.

The development included a two-storey front on Burwood Highway, comprising a street level store and two first floor apartments, and a three-storey rear that included ground level car parking for residents plus another two storeys of townhouses.

The council received 13 objections and one petition against the proposal when it advertised it last year.

The objections primarily related to inconsistency with town character, visual bulk, building height, urban design, storm water runoff, traffic, car parking and garbage collection.

Also in the alternative recommendation from Cr Clarke that the council adopted was the need for a drainage strategy layout plan showing the location of all pits and pipes, a connection to the stormwater point of discharge, the location of the required detention system, proposed and existing easements and one in 100 year flow path.

Both of these were overturned in the VCAT decision, returning the development to its original design.

One of the significant arguments residents put forward to VCAT was that the plans were in direct violation of the Design and Develop-

“In this case, I find that the three-storey high rear built form is acceptable as: it appropriately responds to the topography of the

ment Overlay DD014.

But in her decision, VCAT member Tracy Watson explained that the 7.5m height included in the DDO14 was a discretionary,

land, it has no unreasonable impact on views to background vegetation and it is only marginally higher than the existing Salvos and McDonalds buildings,“ she said.

IN BRIEF

Grandmas call time

By Romy Stephens Protestors gathered outside Casey MP Tony Smith’s office on Friday 6 September to call for greater protection for refugees and asylum seekers.

Grandmothers against Detention of Refugee Children members held signs and submitted a letter to Mr Smith calling on him to help a Tamil family of four to avoid deportation.

The family had been living in Biloela, Queensland, for four years but are facing the prospect of being sent back to Sri Lanka.

Group member Prue Litcht, from Belgrave, hoped Tony Smith would talk to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and Immigration Minister David Coleman and help the family return to Biloela.

“They’ve lived in Biloela for four years, they’re part of that community. The community want them to stay,” she said.

“They’re doing good work...they’re an integral part of that community.

“They have children born in Biloela, the whole town it seems to me is supporting them.”

Grandmothers Against Detention of Refugee Children co-ordinator Virginia Schneiders said the group was also asking Mr Smith to sit down and have a face-to-face meeting.

“He has not agreed to meet with us to discuss this issue and that’s part of the reason why we’re protesting,” she said.

“It makes us feel very powerless when a local member will not at least sit down and talk to us.”

Mr Smith said he read the group’s letter and understood its demands, but disagreed with its views on immigration policy.

“It is wrong and unfair to make an exception for one family,” he said.

“This family’s case has been comprehensively assessed, over many years.

"They have gone on to appeal to the Federal Magistrates' Court, the Federal Court and the High Court.

“They have explained their circumstances to every decision-maker and judge and every

Peace has once again returned to Belgrave after a brief dispute broke out regarding the cigarette bins in the town.

The bins came under fire after the Belgrave Traders Association met with Yarra Ranges Council for a compliance meeting about the group's responsibilities.

The only outstanding issue was cigarette bin maintenance, which according to the council should not have been under the traders' remit.

Belgrave Traders Association vice president Billy Crombie said the association was mainly responsible for marketing the town, but was more than happy to continue maintaining the cigarette bins.

Emerald SES attended more than 20 call-outs in the Dandenong Ranges on Sunday night as strong winds buffeted the area.

Unit controller Ben Owen told the Mail that calls started coming in from 6.40pm on 8 September.

Most of those incidents were tree-related, although crews were also called to a car crash along Wellington Road.

“We had over 20 calls in 12 hours with at one stage all four vehicles on the road,” Mr Owen said.

“Shortly before 7.30pm we also got a call to a car crash.

“With crews already on the road we got on scene within five minutes to provide assistance and assisted a person out of the vehicle.”

It is understood that there were three people in the car when it lost control and flipped onto its side, just before Aura Vale Road.

“There was an elderly lady in the car and the car was on its side, so we needed to fold the roof down so ambulance crews could assist,” Mr Owen said.

“There was great assistance from CFA, ambulance and police and thank you to the public who assisted before emergency services arrived.”

Mr Owen said five new unit members had just passed general rescue training and all assisted at incidents throughout the night.

Belgrave bin bungle rectified - no butts

By Derek Schlennstedt

SES kept busy

“The issue is that council was saying that in the charter of the Belgrave traders it wasn’t our responsibility,” she said.

“We said ‘no problems, if we can’t do them someone has to’ but the council was hesitant to take that on board.”

Since then, the council met with the association, with the decision made that the traders would retain responsibility for the bins.

“Council staff recently met with the Belgrave Traders Association regarding the emptying and cleaning of cigarette butt bins in Belgrave,” the council's social and economic development director James Collins said.

“We have all agreed to continue the status quo, where maintenance of the cigarette bins will be managed by the Belgrave Traders Association."

Unauthorised drivers in the Yarra Ranges will find it much harder to flout the law with the addition of a new highway patrol car equipped with Victoria Police’s new automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).

The technology allows police to detect suspended, disqualified or unlicensed drivers as well as unregistered and stolen vehicles and stolen number plates.

The car is one of 221 ANPR units being deployed across the state over the next two years.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers started patrols in the car last Friday 6 September.

It detected 270 vehicles of interest in its first three days.

Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Sergeant David McIlfatrick said the car was able to scan number plates and match them against a database of vehicles of interest.

“It’s able to scan thousands of number plates per shift which we wouldn’t ordinarily be able to do,” he said.

The cars are also fitted with in-car video to record audio and visual evidence that can be used in court.

Sgt McIlfatrick said it was hoped that public awareness of the video system would enhance officer safety by deterring and de-escalating potential incidents.

There's been confusion over the cigarette bins and whose responsibility they are.

Olinda’s place to play I was delighted to recently open the beautiful new nature-based regional playground at the former Olinda Golf Course, signalling the completion of the first stage of the transformation of this unique public space.

The Olinda Playspace is the largest regional play space in the Dandenong and Yarra Ranges area.

It includes an all-abilities play scape, new barbecues, picnic facilities, shelters, seating, a new toilet block and pathways around the former golf course as part of a dog off-lead area.

Local artists Emma, Shlomit, Jessie and Jeanette as well as Anna, the landscape architect, have contributed to the play space’s design, providing a unique link with the nature and community that surrounds it.

Local school kids from the Sassafras and Olinda primary schools contributed a stunning mosaic artwork, helping to bring the play space to life.

The play space - along with forthcoming elements of the precinct plan including a sports

oval, netball courts and cricket facilities - is the result of strong community support received for such facilities during multiple rounds of consultation.

As a part of this stage of the precinct plan, the dog off-lead area has been formalised and includes a new shelter area.

It has been fantastic to see so many families enjoying the play space - kids were even having snowball fights recently!

Now that spring has arrived, I’m sure there will be many more families visiting to enjoy the new barbecue and picnic areas.

Future stages of the precinct plan will include a new junior sports and training oval, new netball courts and cricket facilities to reduce the strain on existing services.

We’re also starting the planning work for the re-creation of the Chelsea Flower Show awardwinning Australian Garden exhibit within the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden.

This historic garden was the first Australian display to win best in show and we’re re-creating this in Olinda.

The implementation of the overall precinct plan will provide a range of new and improved facilities, experiences and recreational opportunities to create a multipurpose local outdoor hub, while retaining the environmental values of the precinct.

to the flowers, there is live entertainment and market stalls daily, tractor rides, performances, souvenirs, games for all and much more.

Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the fun and festivities and wonder of nature. The event runs until 13 October.

Go fish with them

By Derek Schlennstedt There is a good reason that fishermen call it fishing and not catching - sometimes no matter how much you prepare or how much knowledge you have, you still don’t catch anything.

But for most fishermen it isn’t catching a fish that is the reason they partake in the hobby, it’s the experience of being out on the boat with friends and family.

Upwey Fishing Club provides that platform.

The not-for-profit club has provided a community hub for local anglers and their families since 1946.

President Larry Stephens told the Mail that returned servicemen formed the club after World War II. “We’re a group of likeminded and interested people who all like fishing and anything that goes with it,” he said.

“We fish freshwater, salt water, estuary, from boats and from the bank.

“In the early days nobody had a boat, no such things as a trailer boat.

"They’d hire a cutter at Mornington and fish from a hire cutter and later on a few of the hire boats came into play...but these days every second guy has a trailer boat!"

While Larry prefers to fish from a kayak, he said anyone was able to join the club, even if they were just interested in gaining an understanding about the sport.

“You can come in as a stock absolute beginner if you want,” he said.

“Our aim and commitment to providing a community-based fishing club has not changed in the past 70 years or so.

By Derek Schlennstedt

Upwey Fishing Club member Darren. 197501 "We welcome anybody who wishes to enjoy a social, fishing/angling type of environment to come along and join in our activities and maybe learn something or even teach us something but most of all, enjoy themselves.“ The club also engages and supports local community groups and was looking forward to make the most of the recent restocking of fish at the former Ferntree Gully quarry.

“We’re absolutely chuffed by it,” Larry said.

“We’ve done a few talks with the local Up-

Picture: ROB CAREW wey scouts and cubs and we took a group of them down there three weeks before they stocked it and we caught nothing, so we’re looking forward to doing that again now they’ve stocked it.”

The group holds regular club competitions and embarks on a fishing trip once every three to four weeks.

Anyone interested in joining can contact the club through Facebook or www.upweyfish. com.au.

A century of Waldorf

By Derek Schlennstedt The Dandenong Ranges Steiner School was proud to be part of global Waldorf centenary celebrations this year.

On 5 September the 1991-founded school held a special sharing assembly, celebrating the children’s work and commemorating 100 years with singing and performances.

The first Waldorf school was founded in Stuttgart in 1919.

Today there are more than 1100 Waldorf schools and almost 2000 Waldorf kindergartens in 80 countries around the globe.

The first Waldorf school in Australia, also known as Steiner schools, opened in 1957 at Castlecrag in Sydney.

The assembly addressed how powerful Steiner education was in its conscious approach to developing young people for the future and pointed out the differences between conservative schooling.

“Our school is called Steiner and that was because there was a man called Rudolf Steiner,” Yasushi Hayashi said at the assembly.

“Exactly 100 years in September, the first

ever Steiner school opened and they did things differently and they still do 100 years later.

"In many schools you have different class teachers, but in Steiner the same teacher goes with you year after year.”

In celebration of Waldorf education’s centennial, Dandenong Ranges Steiner School joined other schools worldwide engaging in social and environmental impact projects.

In line with the Learn to Change World theme, students have been working to mitigate the effects of climate change.

“A group of students and former students volunteered their time and talents to busk at the Big Dreams Market on Sunday," enrolment officer Karen Frazier Walsh said.

"The funds are donated to the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre, with the hope that the school’s contribution will help to make a difference in the world.

“The Class Three students have been planting trees in neighbouring Crystal Brook Park as part of a global effort to mitigate the effects of climate change and to make a meaningful contribution to our local environment.”

A lively audience packed the GEMCO theatre in Emerald on 25 August for the 2019 PAVE Woorilla Poetry Prize Awards.

As well as fine poetry, there was plenty of entertainment from singer Lucy Roxburgh, Ann Poore on electric harp and spoken word performer Ben Andrews.

Cardinia Council Mayor Graeme Moore opened the event with a welcome to country and reflected on art in the hills.

Every year the prize attracts entries from across Australia and this year was no exception.

Every state was represented, with judges commenting on the extremely high calibre of the entries.

The winning poem, The Eighth Strike, was

by Damen O’Brien from Queensland and Upwey poet Cameron Semmens was commended for his poem The Death of Whales.

The winner of the youth section was Sameer Mohammad Khan from Truganina for he his poem She Will Never Forget - a moving poem honoring his grandmother’s life.

Two important announcements were made on the night, including the decision to rename the Open Section the Judith Rodriguez Memorial Prize in memory of Judith’s long association with Woorilla until her death late last year.

Woorilla will also be introducing a new category in the youth section for those whose first language is not English.

Emergencies: be prepared

By Derek Schlennstedt

Students did a rendition of the der Rattenf nger (pied piped) in German.

Cardinia Shire Council and Outlook Community Centre are encouraging residents to attend two emergency preparedness sessions in Gembrook and Emerald to discuss how they can be better prepared to survive an emergency event.

The free drop-in sessions provide checklists, contact numbers and help to create personalised evacuation kits.

The sessions are relevant to fires, floods and storms and will be held from 9am to 2pm at the Emerald Monthly Market on 20 October and the Gembrook Spring Reserve Roadshow on 4 November.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Graeme Moore encouraged all residents, particularly those living within fire and flood zones, to attend one of the free sessions.

“Emergencies can affect any community at almost any time, and the recent Bunyip Complex Fires have shown us just how dangerous, and real, they can be,” he said.

“It is vital that every community member living within an emergency zone is prepared for any event that may occur."

RSVP is essential on 5940 4728 or www.outlook.org.au.

I’m hanging up my editor’s hat after wrapping up our next edition - but only for a little while.

Monday 16 September will be my last day in the Mail office before I take some time out to welcome my first child into the world.

I’m sad to be stepping away from the company, the newspapers and the communities that have been such a huge part of my life for so many years.

But it’s only temporary - and I’ll have plenty to keep me busy!

The Mail will be in safe hands while I’m away with reporter Jed Lanyon on the Mountain Views and Upper Yarra publications, Derek Schlennstedt on the Ranges Trader and Ferntree Gully Belgrave papers and Romy Stephens looking after the Mount Evelyn Mail.

Garry Howe, the South East division group editor at our sister company Star News Group, will be keeping a watchful eye over the Mail.

It’s been a big year for the team so far, most notably for the 10th anniversary of the Black Saturday bushfires and the 40th anniversary of the Mountain Views Mail.

There’s still plenty more to come in 2019, with our next Home and Garden feature only a few weeks away, the Ranges Trader Mail notching up four decades in November and our Christmas features looming.

You can continue to send your news, story ideas and letters to editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au, call 5957 3700 or reach out to the Mail on Facebook.

“When you’re a new parent, you might know about maternal and child health services and playgroups but it can be hard to know the full extent of what’s available close to home and harder to get out of the house and make new friends,” Mayor Tony Stevenson said.

“This event will be a chance to celebrate our new arrivals as a community, a chance for parents to meet one another and put their green thumbs to use, and for them to learn about

Knitting for kids

By Casey Neill Hills students joined forces with knitters from across the country to brighten the lives of children in Syria.

The Tecoma and Silvan primary schools were among several to support this year's Australian Crafters Aid Network (ACAN) shipment to orphanages and refugee camps.

The annual clothing and toy donation started when a member of online knitting community Ravelry was working in the Middle East.

She saw children suffering in the cold, put the word out for help and Aussies Knitting for War Affected Kids (AKWAK) formed.

Marg Willis from Ferny Creek said the growing group relaunched with the new name after packing this year's container at Tecoma Uniting Church in late August.

"We supply more than knitting, although that's still our primary focus," she said.

"We decided it needed a fresh new approach to streamline our processes to be able to cope with this massive growth."

Jen O'Brien from Belgrave organised the school involvement.

Silvan students helped to stuff bears last year and this time around made their own toys.

Tecoma Primary students stuffed bears and gave each one a name.

They attached a card with the names of the bear, the knitter and themselves, and included a photo of themselves holding the bear.

Grade 6 students partnered with their Grade 1 buddies on the project.

Teacher and junior school council facilitator Lisa Hoskins-Faul said the older students spearheaded the project and learnt about the children they were helping.

"We're looking forward to a long relationship with the project," she said.

It's then transported to Syria and should arrive in time for the start of winter.

"Syrian winters are brutal and these children are usually living in tents," Ms Willis said.

"Generally their only source of warmth is kerosene heaters so it is important to use natural fibres that will not melt if they come into contact with a flame."

A self-described obsessive knitter, Ms O'Brien this year contributed 112 pairs of socks, 105 pairs of mittens, 24 bears, six pairs of booties, 11 jumpers and a hat.

She said knitting and packing the items brought together many knitters, older women in particular, who were otherwise isolated.

"This does at least as much for Australia as it does for Syria," she said.

Jennifer travelled down from the New South Wales central coast with a car and caravan filled with knitted items.

Colleen made the trip over from Western Australia with 57 kilograms of donations in two large suitcases, a gym bag and a box.

"The camaraderie is a big part of it," she said.

The group welcomes yarn donations.

The recent facelift included enhancing the bluestone wishing well with a recessed circular steel well cover for improved safety, a typical old-fashioned wishing well roof and bucket winder, hardwood hand railing, retaining walls and a solid timber bench to rest and take in the tranquil surroundings.

The wishing well was closed for several months during the renovation.

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.

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GREAT

High-quality care offered With more than 30 years’ experience in the medical profession, Mandala Clinic in Emerald prides itself on providing high-quality general practice care.

Dr Khai Mark established the Mandala Clinic in Emerald in 1980.

Since then, the clinic has developed a reputation for delivering a high-quality medical care service for the Emerald community and surrounding townships.

Practice manager Darren Mark said the clinic's vision was to provide quality holistic and comprehensive general practice care to effectively manage medical condition and health.

“We’re a very family-friendly orientated clinic,” he said.

“We aim to provide high-quality general practice medical care and make sure to provide it in a professional, friendly and comfortable environment.

“Nearly 39 years, we’ve been the area and we

also aim to service not just the Emerald community but all the surrounding townships.”

To assist in providing that service, GP Dr Mariam Estfanous has joined the Mandala team.

With a fellowship in general practice from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, Dr Estfanous said she was excited to be part of the team at the Emerald Mandala Clinic.

“I’ve worked most of my life with young families and I’m really interested in youth and young people, because sometimes they do have this barrier of seeing a doctor, so I really like to establish a rapport with all my patients once they walk in the door,” she said.

“I recently moved down from Croydon, so I’m really excited to be here...I love Emerald, it’s such a nice little town with a country atmosphere.”

Mandala Clinic offers bulk billing for people aged under 16 years.

SHOP LOCAL MONBULK

Alex, Kayleen, Vanessa, Craig and Helen make up the team at Cellarbrations, Monbulk. 196554

Picture: ROB CAREW

Local and organic wines are a popular feature of the shop. 196554

The perfect drop stocked

By Romy Stephens There’s a new kid on the block in Main Road, Monbulk.

Cellarbrations is a family-owned and run bottle shop that opened earlier this month and is already making its mark with the quality mix of alcohol it has to offer.

The shop provides local wines, organic wines, craft beer, mainstream beer, pre-mixed beverages and a wide range of beers and spirits to the local community.

With all of these options under the one roof customers, can still support local business but only have to make one stop to find the drinks that suit their needs.

Shop owner Craig Escott, joined by his partner Ness, has more than 10 years experience running a family-owned bottle shop in Chelsea.

He said his years in the industry had taught him exactly what made a successful local bottle shop.

“Over 10 years you have a great deal of

knowledge that you can pass on to staff and customers,” he said.

“It always goes back to the basics, fun, friendly and family-orientated.

“It’s really just a matter of offering the range that hasn’t really been available to the community unless they’ve travelled outside the area.

“The ability to get access to the local wineries without having to wait for cellar doors to open.”

Mr Escott believes the shop will continue

to expand in its early stages of opening, with a couple more local wineries expected to jump on board.

He added that customers could expect to walk through the door and be greeted by himself, other local staff members and a warm shop environment.

“Basically a fun friendly atmosphere and a nice smile,” he said.

The bottle shop is on Main Road in Monbulk and can be contacted via monbulkcbn@ gmail.com or on 0477 032 471.

Spring

Market Update WATTLE YOU DO THIS SPRING?

RECENT SALES

The market is looking very positive after an 18 month downturn and we here at Ranges First National are excited! We think it’s going to be a great spring and a great selling season.

The combination of limited houses for sale across the hills (about 20% less than normal) combined with the ‘property positive’ election result and two interest rate drops have really seen the market bounce back. But the question is, is this a bounce or a sustained upward trend? For this we’d have to consult the crystal ball of real estate…

The answer is, we’ll soon ind out! But right now, if you’ve been holding off selling due to the previous lower market, now might be the time to capitalize on better prices. All it takes is for a call to one of our knowledgeable sales consultants to see where your property value sits – a no obligation, free service. Not only that, but we can make suggestions to you regarding how to maximise your sale price. In fact, we have made up two books that are yours FREE that help you with this! ‘101 Tips for home presentation’ and the ‘Sellers Guide’, view your copies on our webiste - rangesfn.com.au/info-books

Kilvington Drive, Burwood Highway, Emerald Upper Ferntree Gully $790,000 $685,000

Hilton Road, Ferny Creek $490,000

Glenfern Road, Upwey $905,000

William Road, The Patch $635,000

Wellington Road, Clematis $502,000

LOCAL EVENTS & MARKETS

We pride ourselves on obtaining the absolute best price through our time tested ‘multiple offer’ negotiation strategy that has been honed over our last 46 years in the real estate business.

Most agents just want to get the quick sale and not the best price – this is not the way we do business! We also offer our ‘silent sale’ process for those that need discretion with the sale off market. If this is what you require please contact the ofice to discuss this option – we have 100’s of buyers in our database that we can let know about your property.

On June 22nd Ranges First National participated in the 13th annual Belgrave Lantern Parade. The Lantern Parade brings together the community of the Hills in a celebration of friendship, light, warmth and creativity on the shortest day of winter. The street is reclaimed for the people and thousands lock to take part in one of best and biggest community-made spectacles as hundreds of lanterns line the main street.

We even made a Ranges First National House lantern!

Another annual highlight is our client movie night, held in June at the Cameo Cinema’s in Belgrave. We had over 320 landlords, buyers and sellers attend the movie night and needless to say it was a fantastic night!.

All Winter the staff has also enjoyed supporting and attending local community events like trivia nights, comunity open days, the odd stop in from our wondeful supplier like the Domain coffee Car and celebrating national days like ‘World Donut Day’.

ENTERTAINMENT

Full steam for tulips

By Derek Schlennstedt Puffing Billy Railway and the Tesselaar Tulip Festival have joined forces to give families hours of entertainment in the Dandenong Ranges these school holidays.

Puffing Billy passengers travelling to Gembrook Station will be treated to free children’s activities upon arrival.

The activities will run from Monday 23 September to Friday 4 October.

There will also be a tulip display where passengers can snap a colourful photo, and tulipthemed colouring in activities every day of the holidays, including weekends.

Passengers can travel to Gembrook from Puffing Billy’s Belgrave Station or Lakeside Station in Emerald.

The quieter Lakeside Station provides easy parking and smaller crowds, with Emerald Lake Park making the perfect pre or post departure play space.

Trains depart Lakeside at 12.20pm and arrive at Gembrook at 1pm, and passengers have an hour and a half to enjoy the free school holiday activities and explore Gembrook before reboarding the train for a 2.45pm departure, arriving back at Lakeside at 3.20pm.

Just 20 minutes' drive from Emerald, the Tesselaar Tulip Festival is also hosting a range of children’s activities over the school holidays, including live entertainment, a PJ Masks show, petting zoo, garden games and tulip tractor rides.

Entry is free for children aged under 16 years.

Families wishing to visit both attractions can buy a special ticket that provides 25 per cent off their Puffing Billy ride and Tesselaar Tulip Festival entry.

Tuesday, 10 September, 2019

Students from the Mount Evelyn region will be among 3000 performers in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular (VSSS) this year.

The spectacular will bring students together from more than 200 government schools across the state to perform in front of about 12,000 people.

It was also be broadcast on Network Seven later this year.

Mount Evelyn Primary School Grade 6 student Sasha said she felt privileged to be involved in such a big event.

“I decided to get involved because singing has been something I have really wanted to improve,” she said.

“It means a lot to me because not many peo-

ple get to be part of such a great experience.

“I am looking forward to seeing great performers and doing it with other schools.”

The theme for this year’s spectacular is Made of Stars.

It will feature an 80-piece orchestra performing well-known songs from the past few decades.

For the first time the spectacular will also meet the X Games at Melbourne Arena, showcasing BMX riders, skaters and scooter riders.

The VSSS first hit the stage in 1995 and has since been helping students get hands-on training and mentoring on stage and behind the scenes.

The spectacular will take place at Melbourne Arena on 14 September with two shows at 1pm and 6.30pm.

A case of It two, Brutus?

It: Chapter Two Starring Bill Skarsgard, Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy Rated MA15+ Based on the Stephen King novel, It: Chapter Two is a compelling but inferior follow-up to the 2017 first chapter.

Twenty-seven years after defeating the demonic entity Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard), a group of childhood friends known as the Loser's Club returns to the town of Derry to defeat Pennywise once and for all.

The cast has fantastic chemistry and the main characters undergo engaging development.

The timid Eddie (James Ransone) in particular has a very gratifying arc as he discovers unknown depths of courage within himself.

Chapter Two has excellent character dynamics culminating in a harrowing, triumphant climax, but the film has several narrative

problems and a disappointing lack of subtlety to its scares.

The plot is set in motion by a vague fetchquest and many of the experiences that spur the Losers to fight Pennywise are shown through flashbacks to their childhoods.

This narrative detachment reduces the urgency of the present-day conflict.

Chapter Two features plenty of viscerallydisturbing moments and Skarsgard is still terrifying as Pennywise, but the way Pennywise toys with the Losers feels arbitrary and contrived, which further harms the suspense.

The film also has a severely underdeveloped secondary antagonist in a psychopathic old bully, and the imagery is generally too inyour-face to be scary.

It: Chapter Two is a consistently creepy horror film with great performances and solid character writing, but has a loose grip on tension and a patchy, underwritten plot.

Hawks through to a final

By Nick Creely Monbulk braved the tough conditions at Olinda Ferny Creek to end Officer's season in AFL Outer East Division 1 finals action on Sunday, 14.22 (106) to 4.10 (34).

The Hawks completely flattened the Kangaroos in a cold, wet day for footy, but relished the conditions and played one of its most dominant four quarters in the second half of this season.

Surging out to a impressive 29-point margin at quarter time after running in waves and putting Doug Koop's side well and truly under the pump, the Hawks didn't relent, showcasing heir trademark pressure and ability to get mountains of goal scoring opportunities, all but sealing the game at half time after taking in a 35-point margin.

After last week's tough loss to Doveton, it was clear the Hawks had no intention of slowing down in the second half - clearly with a point to prove as a major player in this year's premiership - kicking five goals to one in horrendous conditions across the final two quarters to set up a preliminary final berth against Pakenham this Sunday.

For the Hawks, Nick Sargent and Glenn Strachan were completely dominant in the winning side, while Thomas Taylor chimed in with a couple of majors himself to be a nuisance for the Kangaroos.

The Hawks will now face off with the Lions in Sunday's preliminary final, but will need to reverse their fortunes after their last meeting, with Ash Green's side winning by 68 points to take over the top of the ladder.

In the remaining semi-final in Division 1, a brilliant Doveton surged into the grand final with an excellent showing against Pakenham, 8.2 (50) to 2.4 (16).

In the Premier Division, meanwhile, Narre Warren were completely dominant to kick off their finals campaign in wet-conditions against the Eagles in what was extremely difficult conditions at Berwick's Edwin Flack Reserve, controlling the game from the outset to move one win closer to a grand final berth, 13.5 (83) to 2.9 (21).

Coming off a tough loss to Berwick to finish the home and away season, Dylan Quirk's Magpies were always destined to respond, slamming on five first quarter goals and maintaining control over the contest, before holding the Eagles at bay in the second term to set up a four-goal lead at the main break.

The Magpies ran out comfortable winners with a six-goal to none second half - with the likes of Nathan Foote, Matt Soroczynski, Jake

Woori Yallock's Ben Monkhorst in action on Saturday against Cranbourne. 197477 Richardson and Trent Cody all prominent.

For the Eagles, who will need to bounce back quickly in a cut-throat semi final against Cranbourne on Saturday, Sean Dwyer battled hard as usual, while Jack Griffiths relished the conditions.

Cranbourne, meanwhile, found a way to advance through to the second round of the finals in similar torrential conditions at AJ Robinson Reserve against Woori Yallock, 6.11 (47) to 3.14 (32).

In the cut-throat elimination final, Steve O'Brien's group led at every change in a classic wet-weather contest, crucially making the most of their chances - particularly in the first half - to set up the win and prepare for a mammoth clash against Beaconsfield.

Much similar to the clash played minutes

down the road at Edwin Flack Reserve, the conditions made life difficult for both sides, with the contested slog making for low-scoring, yet highly entertaining football.

The Eagles strode away from the Tigers in the third term, kicking three unanswered goals to shut away any chance of a late comeback, finding a bit of spark on the larger ground to find enough class to get the job done.

Jordan Bertrand continued his fine season with another assured display, this time in a big final, while Bailey Buntine, leaders Ryan Jones and Luke Bee-Hugo, as well as the talented Kirk Dickson (two goals) all did their part in a strong team-victory.

Hayden Smith finished his season off with another terrific display for the Tigers, while Jacob Aitchison and Robbie Allen battled hard all day.

A bright idea helps lake at night-time New lighting at Lillydale Lake will make it easier for night-time visitors to get around and stay visible.

Yarra Ranges Council installed more than 30 new lights around the lake's car park and circuit near the playground.

Existing lights will be relocated in coming months to provide better coverage for people visiting the lake in the evenings.

Billanook Ward Councillor Tim Heenan said the new LED lighting would provide a safer experience for visitors while reducing the council's energy use.

"We know that Lillydale Lake is one of our most popular places for people to visit, and we have many people who use the lake's track for exercise, dog walking or relaxation during the day and evenings," he said.

"But during our colder months and after sunset, it used to be a bit difficult to navigate some areas of the lake due to the lighting."

Cr Heenan said the new lighting project complemented 10 new solar powered lights at the off-lead dog park at the lake, funded through the State Government's Pick My Project program.

"The dog park is a very well-used and wellloved part of the lake and this lighting will mean that people can come to exercise their dog, teach them new skills or take part in group activities anytime," Cr Heenan said.

"Now these two projects have been com22 MAIL

Picture: ROB CAREW It's been an up and down season for the Eagles, who have battled their fair share of injuries and bad luck, but have showed tremendous grit to turn the season around in the second half of the season.

It was an absolute thriller in the Division 2 preliminary final between Yarra Junction and Powelltown at Monbulk, with Junction pipping the Demons by less than a goal to advance through to the grand final, 10.9 (69) to 10.6 (66).

Both sides were neck and neck all day, with the margin barely going over a single straight kick, but the Eagles found a way after trailing by four points at the last break.

Finals off to a fierce start

By Romy Stephens AFL Outer East PREMIER The first weekend of finals action didn’t fail to disappoint, with hard-fought netball seeing both games go down to the wire.

In the qualifying final, Beaconsfield managed to hold its nerve and get over the line against Cranbourne, 35-32.

During the early stages, it seemed as though Beaconsfield were going to run away with a convincing win as the side doubled their opposition’s score during the first quarter.

But a quick refresh at the quarter-time break seemed to do Cranbourne a world of wonders, as the side fought back during the second quarter and stole a one-goal lead by the half-time break.

The remainder of the game was a tussle with sides both determined to avoid a spot in the elimination semi-final next week.

But in the end, it was Beaconsfield ? led strongly by the likes of defenders Katherine Grigoriou and Teneille Morrell ? that stole the lead, then maintained composure and ran away with the three-goal win.

In the elimination final, Woori Yallock sent Narre Warren packing with a tight 46-41 win at Doveton on Saturday.

Once again, finals action was in full flight with both teams taking it up to one another throughout the entire game.

Nothing separated the two during the first quarter, as both found themselves on eight goals each at the quarter-time break.

During the second quarter, the Tigers managed to break in front before retaining their slim lead at every break that followed.

Mia Sudomirski was prolific in attack for the Tigers with 36 goals.

This weekend’s results mean Beaconsfield will face a tough ask as it lines up against Olin-

Beaconsfield maintained composure and got over the line against Cranbourne.

Meanwhile, Cranbourne will take on Woori Yallock in the elimination semi-final.

DIVISION 1 Mount Evelyn secured its spot in the grand final with an upset 30-17 win over minor premiers ROC. It seemed as though having the week off last week proved costly for the Kangaroos as they were never able to fully recovered from a slow start.

Cranbourne's Natalie Sparks looks to pass around Beaconsfield's defence.

The Rovers on the other hand, never looked back after they doubled their opposition’s score during the first quarter and then led at every break.

The win sees Mount Evelyn head straight into the grand final, while ROC will have to win next weekend to set up a grand final rematch.

Warburton Millgrove bowed out of the finals race after suffering a 44-32 loss at the hands of Monbulk.

The game was all but over during the first term, with a confident Hawks outfit storming

out of the blocks and taking a 10-goal lead into the second quarter.

The Burras managed to weather the storm and avoid a blow-out but they were never able to insert themselves into the game, as the Hawks continued to play steady netball and finish with a 12-goal win.

Next weekend’s preliminary final will see ROC take on Monbulk, with the winner of that game setting up a grand final clash against Mount Evelyn.
